‘Tricky Dick’ Nixon’s Public Enemy No. 1

In this episode, we’re diving deep into the art of linguistic manipulation with a profile on one of America’s most racist presidents: Richard Nixon. Last week, we covered how the war on drugs helped fuel a system of police corruption. This week, we’re looking at how Nixon used clever rhetoric and dog-whistle politics to push forward an agenda that has left a lasting impact in the US. We’re talking all things “Law and Order, ” “Southern Strategy,” and Black Capitalism. Tune in to hear how these phrases became instruments of control and deception– tools that are still in use today. It is just as horrific as it sounds!Follow The Show: Twitter: https://twitter.com/fraudstersLPNInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/fraudsterslpn/Discord: https://discord.gg/WRZ8zgusPTWebsite: https://fraudsters.fm/Follow the Hosts: https://www.instagram.com/seenanow/?hl=enhttps://www.instagram.com/justin_williams_comedyhttps://twitter.com/arielleaty Check out Let’s Be Blunt with Montel Williams: www.letsbebluntmontel.comFollow Our Guests:https://x.com/alfhistoryhttps://www.instagram.com/myharmreduction/?hl=enhttps://x.com/myharmreductionhttps://www.instagram.com/montel_williams/?hl=enhttps://x.com/Montel_WilliamsSources for this episode:https://www.dea.gov/sites/default/files/2018-05/Early Years p 12-29.pdf[↩︎](about:blank#fnref1)https://www.nixonfoundation.org/2016/06/26404/[↩︎](about:blank#fnref2)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8TGLLQlD9M[↩︎](about:blank#fnref3)https://www.vox.com/2016/3/29/11325750/nixon-war-on-drugs[↩︎](about:blank#fnref4)https://mashable.com/article/nixon-war-on-drugs[↩︎](about:blank#fnref5)https://harpers.org/archive/2016/04/legalize-it-all/[↩︎](about:blank#fnref6)https://archive.org/details/4731750.1970.001.umich.edu/page/948/mode/2up[↩︎](about:blank#fnref7)https://www.vox.com/2016/3/29/11325750/nixon-war-on-drugs[↩︎](about:blank#fnref8)https://www.dea.gov/sites/default/files/2018-05/Early Years p 12-29.pdf[↩︎](about:blank#fnref9)https://www.nytimes.com/2000/08/27/us/book-offers-peek-into-nixon-s-mind.html?searchResultPosition=1[↩︎](about:blank#fnref10)https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/2002/03/21/just-what-was-he-smoking/e984a758-94fc-482f-a9d7-890c30a41b5e/[↩︎](about:blank#fnref11)Clip Links:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVfgKe9BPMUhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8TGLLQlD9Mhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4yaZ01tWEU&t=64s Subscribe to SiriusXM Podcasts+ to listen to new episodes of Fraudsters ad-free. Start a free trial now on Apple Podcasts or by visiting siriusxm.com/podcastsplus.
