0:09
the Magic Kingdom you can see Space
0:11
Mountain off in the distance
0:12
Cinderella's castle and of course the
0:14
train station and some people take this
0:17
hotel for granted or they take it just
0:19
as a fantastic piece of Walt Disney
0:22
World History whether to stay at or to
0:25
eat at to dine at or just to wander the
0:27
premises on your way over to the Magic
0:30
Kingdom but there is more to this Resort
0:32
this hotel than meets the eye on
0:34
November 17th 1973 president Richard
0:38
Nixon answered a question in front of
0:41
400 guests and a televised special for
0:44
the Associated Press where he actually
0:47
said I am not a crook and that actually
0:50
happened in one of the ballrooms inside
0:53
this Walt Disney World hotel you want to
0:56
check it out please gather your watch
0:59
your head and step join me shall
1:28
you it's very interesting that over time
1:28
Comedians and television shows talk show
1:30
hosts they kind of misconstrued or ovx
1:33
exaggerate what Nixon actually said it
1:35
has become a basically a staple of Pop
1:37
Culture I am not a crooked he always
1:40
does the peace sign but inside one of
1:43
these ballrooms that we are about to
1:45
check out we are going to see the actual
1:46
spot where the podium was the door he
1:48
walked through and he answered one of
1:50
the associated press's question and
1:53
actually gave that famous
1:59
line as you walk in the convention
1:59
center you'll see these awesome floor
2:01
mats some of my favorite floor mats
2:03
we're actually going to go up to the
2:04
second floor we you're on the bottom
2:05
level so if you ever come here go up to
2:07
the second floor and that is where the
2:09
ballroom will be
2:31
located
2:31
as you can see on both sides there are a
2:33
lot of different meeting rooms and
2:34
ballrooms none of these are the ones
2:36
Nixon was in the one we are looking for
2:38
is the ballroom of americaas which lies
2:41
straight
2:52
ahead right through here is where it all
2:52
happened basically through these doors
2:55
is where Nixon walked in there were 400
2:57
people seated in their seats he walked
2:59
up to the podium he answered some
3:01
questions and he delivered that famous
3:03
line right through here and look there's
3:06
a piano it's some pretty comfortable
3:09
couches H the cool thing about the
3:12
Contemporary is you're actually allowed
3:13
to walk around and you can actually go
3:15
in the meeting rooms in fact the doors
3:17
are completely open and unlocked so
3:19
let's actually go inside and see where
3:21
it actually happened come
3:28
on of course the carpet has changed over
3:28
the years the kitchen back there the
3:31
private restroom is back there but Nixon
3:33
would have walked right through those
3:35
doors the podium would have been
3:38
standing right there and he would have
3:40
stood behind the
3:42
podium answered some questions all the
3:45
Associated Press and public all seated
3:49
right in here on their seats people
3:51
lined up against this
3:54
wall but there you go there's the
3:56
shot right
3:58
there
4:01
I have never obstructed
4:09
Justice pretty crazy to
4:09
think that President Nixon was standing
4:13
right
4:15
there amazing here's the actual doors
4:18
that he walked through of course the
4:19
doors have been repurposed and
4:21
resurfaced since then they were
4:22
different doors but this was the actual
4:25
walkway where Nixon walked through and
4:28
walked up to the podium
4:31
so just imagine the podium basically
4:34
right there next to where this chair is
4:35
the podium would have been there
4:37
speaking out to the
4:41
crowd people have got to know whether or
4:43
not they're president a c well I'm not a
4:46
crook I've burned everything I've
4:53
got so there you have it a little bit of
4:54
presidential and Walt Disney World
4:56
History combined hopefully you learn
4:58
something new today feel free to leave
4:59
some comments about the subject down
5:01
below and remember if you show up out
5:02
here you allowed to walk the halls and
5:05
enter the ballrooms as long as nothing
5:06
is actually happening if there is no
5:08
convention actually taking place inside
5:11
one of the rooms I'd also like to give a
5:12
shout out to my friend at Smith film
