Livestream: The Nixon Revival

We’re delighted to announce that we will be livestreaming our first event in Manhattan. You can watch the livestream here on Wednesday 30 September at 7pm EDT.

Known to many as “Tricky Dick,” Richard Nixon has often had his legacy reduced to the scandal that brought his presidency crashing down: a break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters, a criminal cover-up, then his resignation. But what if his story is far more complicated? Why has J.D. Vance described Nixon as a “new icon” for young conservatives? And why do some Gen Zers now see him as an “America First” populist pioneer?

Leading historian and columnist Conrad Black, Daniel McCarthy, editor of Modern Age and the architect of Nixonmaxxing, and Geoff Shepard, former Nixon staffer and author of The Real Watergate Scandal, will reassess the legacy of one of America’s most controversial presidents. The discussion will be hosted by The Spectator’s US editor, Freddy Gray.
