"The Long Reach of Richard Nixon: The Last Liberal Republican and his Social Policy" is a talk by John Roy Price, former senior domestic policy advisor to President Richard Nixon and the author of "The Last Liberal Republican: An Insider’s Perspective on Nixon’s Surprising Social Policy" (2021).
Based on his time in the White House, this talk by Price offers firsthand insight and rich detail on the extent to which Nixon and his staff straddled a precarious balance between a Democratic-controlled Congress and an increasingly powerful conservative tide in Republican politics.
