Friday, October 19, 2007 Page 5 of 5 Excerpts from Address of RICHARD NIXON before The Executives l Club of Chicago May 5, 1961 My first speech on national issues since the election presents a difficult problem. It isn't that I am not receiving plenty of advice. As Governor James Byrnes told me on his 82nd birthday Tuesday, unsolicited advice is the cheapest commodity you can find because the supply is so great and the demand so little. The trouble is that no one agrees as to what I should do. Some say -- continue to be a good loser; speak but don't say anything controversial. Others say -- pour it on. Still others say -- dontt make any speeches -- the new Administration has been in power for only 100 days, the new President is popular and, therefore, it would be very unpopular for the losing candi­ date to make public statements that might be interpreted as critical of the Administration. I must admit that this last type of advice ~s tempting, to say the least. It has been some­ what of a relief to be out of the arena -- to be free from the attacks of the political opposition. And, in any event, the role of a defeated candidate, if he does choose to speak, is not an easy one to define. He has no official position. As a result, the members of his own party who do hold elective offices understandably believe that they, rather than he, should speak for the party. And he always runs a risk that the members of the other party will accuse him of bad sportsmanship if he does anything other than compliment the new Administration. I shall have to admit, therefore, that the more popular course for me to follow would be either to be silent or, when I do speak, to limit myself to the generalities and pleasantries which satisfy everybody and displease no one. This course would be an easy choice if the situation were normal -- that is, if our prob­ lems, no matter how pressing, were of the type that could be solved in time without serious risk to our existence as a nation. The situation is far from normal. Our existence is threat­ ened and in recent weeks the threat has manifestly increased. I have therefore reached the conclusion that the time has come for me to speak out on national issues. But, in doing so, I want the country to know exactly the role in which I shall be speaking. I do not speak as a candidate or as one planning to be a candidate for any public office. I do not presume to speak as the self-appointed leader of the Republican Party. Nor do I speak as the representative of the Administration in which I was proud to serve. I shall speak as a private citizen, saying those things I believe are in the best interests of the nation, without presuming to claim that my views represent those of my party or of the Administration of which I was a member. I am convinced that in this independent role, I shall best be able to serve the nation. Among the guidelines I intend to follow are these: Our criticism of the Administration should be responsible, constructive, on issues of real substance. This is no time for nit-picking. The type of fundamental issue that I have in mind is how our national effort is being mobi­ lized to meet the threat to our existence. For example, the new Administration has made proposals which would impose upon the nation, over a two-year period, an additional five bil­ lion dollars burden in Federal spending, an additional ten billion dollars in new obligational authority, with t:qeresuJ;t ~9£tt *8~ shall have.a new deflrcit of at least five .hiUions even if reve­ nues are esti..tnated on the optimistic side. / Of this new total of 15 billions in spending and obligations, less than one-third is to be spent for defense and national security over and above the Eisenhower estimates. Fully 11 billions are budgeted for spending and obligational authority in non-military areas such as health, wel­ fare, education, housing and public works. These programs include an education bill which in providing Federal subsidies for teachers I salaries would, in my opinion, inevitably mean Federal dictation of what is taught in our - 2 ­ schools; a housing act that would stifle private initiative; a farrn program that will make the American farmer hopelessly dependent upon and controlled by Federal bureaucrats; a health program for the aged that will, in my opinion, inevitably lead to compulsory health insurance for all. During the recent campaign, I set forth in detail alternative programs in the fields of health, education, housing and agriculture which I deeply believed then and now were more consistent with our American principles because, as distinguished from the Kennedy programs, they recognize individual and private enterprise rather than government action as the primary instrument of progress on which we should rely. I shall continue to fight for those principles in the domestic area which I believe are so im­ portant for the future of the country. At a time when the frontiers of freedom are under constant attack abroad, I believe that the national interest requires that we resist such programs as I have described which would chip away at the freedoms we enjoy at home. And, before we embark on any new spending programs at home, we should put first things first and be ready and able to do what is necessary to strengthen America and the Free World so that we can meet the increased t hr'eat of Communist aggression which now confronts us abroad. In view of recent world developments, there is an obvious need for us to develop more ef­ fective programs to meet this threat. How can those of us in the loyal opposition playa con­ structive part in developing such programs? The easiest and, on the surface, most popular course would be simply to abdicate any re­ sponsibility in this regard and endorse the programs past, present, and future of the new Ad­ ministration in the name of bi-partisanship.

  • The Rise of Talk Radio and Its Impact on Politics and Public Policy
    Mount Rushmore: The Rise of Talk Radio and Its Impact on Politics and Public Policy Brian Asher Rosenwald Wynnewood, PA Master of Arts, University of Virginia, 2009 Bachelor of Arts, University of Pennsylvania, 2006 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Virginia August, 2015 !1 © Copyright 2015 by Brian Asher Rosenwald All Rights Reserved August 2015 !2 Acknowledgements I am deeply indebted to the many people without whom this project would not have been possible. First, a huge thank you to the more than two hundred and twenty five people from the radio and political worlds who graciously took time from their busy schedules to answer my questions. Some of them put up with repeated follow ups and nagging emails as I tried to develop an understanding of the business and its political implications. They allowed me to keep most things on the record, and provided me with an understanding that simply would not have been possible without their participation. When I began this project, I never imagined that I would interview anywhere near this many people, but now, almost five years later, I cannot imagine the project without the information gleaned from these invaluable interviews. I have been fortunate enough to receive fellowships from the Fox Leadership Program at the University of Pennsylvania and the Corcoran Department of History at the University of Virginia, which made it far easier to complete this dissertation. I am grateful to be a part of the Fox family, both because of the great work that the program does, but also because of the terrific people who work at Fox.

  • Salem Communications' Acquisition of Eagle Publishing Creates Conservative Multi-Media Powerhouse
    January 13, 2014 Salem Communications' Acquisition of Eagle Publishing Creates Conservative Multi-Media Powerhouse Salem Acquires Several Influential Conservative Brands, Including Regnery Publishing, Human Events and RedState.com CAMARILLO, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 01/13/14 -- Salem Communications Corporation (NASDAQ: SALM) today announced the acquisition of the assets of Eagle Publishing, including Regnery Publishing, HumanEvents.com, and Redstate.com, as well as sister companies Eagle Financial Publications and Eagle Wellness. Adding Eagle's business units to Salem's already considerable portfolio of multi-media assets creates a conservative media powerhouse. The two companies represent many of conservatism's finest voices in talk radio, book publishing and digital media. Salem's syndicated programming, individual radio stations, and popular websites reach millions of listeners and readers across the country, while Regnery Publishing, RedState.com, and Human Events provide compelling ideas and opinion to millions of conservatives online and in print. The acquisition of these highly regarded conservative media properties will allow Salem to strengthen and deepen their already extensive presence in the conservative market. Edward G. Atsinger III, president and chief executive officer of Salem, said: "Eagle is one of the most influential companies in the conservative media space. Its addition to Salem brings together a unique portfolio of conservative media properties and fits with our strategy of integrating traditional media and new media assets all serving the same target audience. The opportunity we like most about this acquisition is that each of Eagle's businesses matches up so well with Salem's extensive media platform. With 102 radio stations and a dozen major national websites all targeting the conservative community, this provides a perfect marketing platform to promote Eagle's products to a wider audience." "It is hard to believe more than 20 years have passed since I started Eagle Publishing," noted Tom Phillips, owner and chairman of Eagle Publishing.
