When VDare went down for good, I offered to host Radio Derb here and set it up on the various platforms where people listen to podcasts. Going forward you will find the legendary John Derbyshire’s weekly podcast posted here on Saturday, as well as on Rumble, Odysee and the various podcast networks. It will take a few days for them to approve the new host, so I will post links when it happens.

For now, if you want to get the show in your favorite podcast app, you can use the RSS feed I have set up off the Spreaker site. Link below. Just paste it into the app following their instructions and you are good to go. Probably by the end of the week it will be on all of the apps, and you can then find it through their search tool. It should also be on Amazon and Spotify by the end of the week.

He’s pretty much right about “Nixon Derangement Syndrome.” I’m old enough to remember how it was very bad, although I think Trump DS is just as bad. As was outlined recently in an interview with Tucker Carlson, the Democrats got away with lots of rule-breaking against Nixon, including hidden, illegal stunts to get their way. Possibly a “deep state coup.” Woodward and Bernstein were quickly presented as moral paragons, as in the movie, “All the President’s Men,” which was widely lauded. In reality they were lying journalists who, it seems, were also extortionists.

Somewhat of a coincidence, I started reading Jonathan Aitken’s bio of Nixon yesterday. I usually dislike the “early life” sections of biographies, but this one is fascinating. Nixon’s childhood and youthful accomplishments, as a student and as a hard worker, put to shame the pseudo-achievements of our “elites”. As a high school senior, he was recognized as the most outstanding academic achiever in California, and received scholarship offers from Harvard and Yale. Due to family economic constraints he had to turn down these offers, to help with the family grocery store, so resigned himself to attending hometown Whittier College. It was the Depression, after all.I am looking forward to ploughing through this book. I’ve always been sympathetic to Nixon, primarily because as a young teenager, I saw the abuse heaped on him, very similar to what Trump has been subjected to. The glee with which the Media and the Democrats tore him to pieces made me, at 13, a lifelong hater of both. That said, I’ve never troubled myself to learn much about the man, aside from reading a couple of books about Watergate.

And he was virulently hated by much of the Ivy League crowd, the media, and others in lofty positions. He also drew their hatred with his anti-Communism. And he was probably smarter than most of them. I’d like to read that Aitken book and am glad you recommended it.I think he had a mixed record as president. Positives are that he got the USA out of the Vietnam War (which he almost never receives credit for); he developed detente with the Soviet Union, which some Cold Warriors didn’t like, but which I think was good considering America’s weakness at the time; and he helped morale by tapping into the widespread desire for more law and order with his “Silent Majority” speech, etc. (helped with this by Pat Buchanan).As with Trump, the alternatives, such as McGovern, were much worse.

One of the only people who respected him – at least early on – was Kennedy.
Lineman #418343 August 10, 2024 4:59 pm 19
It seems everything we were told about history has been one big fat f*cking lie…Wish more people could figure that out…
1660please #418349 August 10, 2024 6:44 pm 11
Yes, a lot of it. Kids nowadays are being taught the biggest lies of all–the Howard Zinn version. It’s contributing in a big way to our downfall.
Ostei Kozelskii #418365 August 11, 2024 10:26 am 7
This is what happens when, not only do you not crush the Left, but allow it to gain complete control of the education system.

“He also drew their hatred with his anti-Communism. And he was probably smarter than most of them”The parallels between the two effects, TDS and NDS are pretty clear. I think the thing about both men that infuriates Leftist snobs is not so much that these men advocated “wrong” policies but that they did so while being perceived as gauche and declasse. They also clearly appealed to the type of men who work with their hands but also many who do tricky engineering jobs. Also, both were quite clearly very smart and didn’t fit the “dumb hick” stereotype. This offended the already highly feminized Left because if you look at jobs that require strenuous mental or physical work, you see a bunch of men.I think this also explains why the Left went nuts over Nixon and Trump even when they actually held positions that were traditionally left of center. Nixon’s price controls and Trump’s Negrolatry come to mind. The fundamental divide in this country for the last 50 years has been a class and sex war and Trump and Nixon both got on the “wrong” side of it.

Steve W: “I’ve never troubled myself to learn much about the man, aside from reading a couple of books about Watergate.” The winners write the history books. We’ve gotta win this war before you’ll see any honest books being written about Saint Richard Nixon. And much of the original material has likely already been destroyed by (((the Deep State))). Particularly the files which are damning to (((the Deep State))).

Man, knock it off with the echoes shit.
TempoNick #418370 August 12, 2024 12:55 am 2
Trump and Nixon were friendly. Given that so many Nixon people were in Trump’s inner circle, I’ve always wondered if Trump wasn’t Nixon’s revenge.
TempoNick #418371 August 12, 2024 12:56 am 4
P.S.

One last graphic:

Here’s to another 20 years of Radio Derb, and a big raspberry to the tyrannical schoolmarms!
Dante #418329 August 10, 2024 1:18 pm 13
Why does Derb love the child murdering, anal raping, Christ killers?
LineInTheSand #418369 August 11, 2024 2:13 pm 6
Probably to resist being classified with someone who speaks like you, and I say that as someone who believes that j3ws are one of the greatest threats to traditional whites.
TempoNick #418373 August 12, 2024 12:59 am 2
In other words, virtue signaling.
Dante G #419213 August 15, 2024 7:42 pm 0
Where’s the lie?
Citizen of a Silly Country #418287 August 10, 2024 6:36 am 12
Awesome. Love me some Derb. Welcome aboard.
Big Daddy Amin #418315 August 10, 2024 11:08 am 9
Thank you Z Man. You are doing the Lord’s work.
DFCtomm #418348 August 10, 2024 6:27 pm 6
Are you going to host the Sam Francis articles too?
thezman #418361 August 11, 2024 5:45 am 5
I wonder who owns them. I recall hearing that Roger Devlin was working on a revised version of his book Leviathan and Its Enemies, but I never heard anymore about it.
Auntie Analogue #418351 August 10, 2024 6:57 pm 5
God bless you, Z-Man for hosting ‘Radio Derb’! Thank you very LARGE!
bmoore24 #418341 August 10, 2024 4:21 pm 5
Derb and Zman together – well that’s pretty great.
Anthony Gaudio #418290 August 10, 2024 7:22 am 5
Good on ya! I was wondering, where was going to get my Derbyshire fix. Thank You. A wonderful addition to your already wonderful blog.
Tars Tarkas #418325 August 10, 2024 12:32 pm 4
Snobs and slobs just doesn’t have the ring of “Dirt People” and “Cloud People” I rather like being called a “Dirt person” as opposed to a “Slob”
Ostei Kozelskii #418331 August 10, 2024 1:41 pm 7
Frankly, I don’t like either.

Steve W #418363 August 11, 2024 8:12 am 7
I like Derb’s earlier formulation: Good whites versus Bad whites.
RonaLD #418324 August 10, 2024 12:23 pm 4
Thanks Z
Peter #418311 August 10, 2024 10:56 am 4
This is truly great news. Radio Derb must be one of the oldest and best podcasts out there. Never miss it. Starts off all my Saturday mornings
tashtego #418323 August 10, 2024 12:12 pm 3
Very happy to see this too. Thanks Z and hi there Mr. Derb
Daniel D Przybyl #418314 August 10, 2024 11:04 am 3
Thank you Z Man. You are doing the Lord’s work.
Ostei Kozelskii #418297 August 10, 2024 9:58 am 3
Jolly good show, me old muckers.
Vizzini #418295 August 10, 2024 9:01 am 3
Nice!
Tumescent #418293 August 10, 2024 8:47 am 3
Awesome. Thanks for doing this. I’ve listened to Derb for over a decade.
Heresolong #418292 August 10, 2024 8:08 am 3
Sweet. Thanks. I’d sent him an email asking where it was going to be but hadn’t heard back. Assumed he was busy figuring stuff out. The podcast is now live in my app (Pocket Casts). Any chance that the missing episodes from the two weeks between July 19 and August 9 could be added?
Tom #418326 August 10, 2024 12:33 pm 2
Not going to mention that Kier is jewish?
Stuart A. #418332 August 10, 2024 1:45 pm 7
No, I believe that’s his wife who is Jewish.
Epaminondas #418356 August 10, 2024 8:46 pm 8
Even worse.
Tank #418291 August 10, 2024 7:54 am 2
Nice! Good job Mr. Z.
Derecha Dissident #418288 August 10, 2024 6:38 am 2
Dude, you’re a life’s routine saver. I was looking for Radio Derb on his website as part of my Saturday morning routine. I grew concerned when it wasn’t there today.
RD70 #418374 August 12, 2024 1:27 am 1
Thank you Z-Man!
Walt #418357 August 10, 2024 9:46 pm 1
Two of my cultural heroes in the same place. Great work by Z to host Derb.
Tars Tarkas #418330 August 10, 2024 1:35 pm 1
KSM is 59 years old. If he goes to trial this year and gets convicted and gets the death penalty, he will die of old age in prison.Even at 1.5 speed, Derb speaks painfully slow.
Susan Ferris #418305 August 10, 2024 10:40 am 1
1) What about a transcript? 2) Will Derb stop using johnderbyshire,com for audio and transcripts?
Jack Dobson #418300 August 10, 2024 10:27 am 1
Great move on both your parts.
JMDonald #418296 August 10, 2024 9:32 am 1
Bravo!

Its nice to see such an esteemed individual given a new home. A real refuge trying to make a better life for himself and actually improve his new place of residence Never thought i’d see it.
