bill buckley went there. bill buckley went there. >> guest: yes, but he'd been gone a long time. at yale, the two impacts were there were a number of excellent teachers, mostly in the english department, but i had some others in other fields. also, at yale, there were a number of very active and intelligent and contrary conservatives. yale has a political union which is divided into parties across the political spectrum. i joined the party of the right, and this was a very fraternal, independent sort of organization, and a lot of the friends i made there i still have, still work with them. c-span: was there a club? >> guest: well, it wasn't a literal club, but it had a lot of club-like aspects to it. c-span: are you a traditional conservative, interested in social issues, or are you a libertarian conservative? >> guest: half and half. i really couldn't put myself in either camp. i wouldn't want to lose the other one. c-span: if somebody asked you to write a definitive paper of 500 words about a conservative ideological issue that meant the most to you, what would you write about?

there was an element trying to take over the conservative movement and under the leadership of bill buckley we fended them off and they are known as libitarians today. they are back stronger than every. we don't agree on all of the issues, but i think it is important for conservatives to find common ground with them. and i think the governors in senate as well. i have seen a finer conservative run for major office. and the governor running in virginia this past november and a libitarian ran against him and got 7% of the vote. that is outrage. in order to have a strong united base, i think the conservatives would be advised to look and come back to washington and take a good look at rand paul. rand paul has a large following. the young people out there as well. if you bring a ticket like that it can be unbeatable. >> harry campo. >> good to see you. >> my question is you refer to a traffic jam on the conservatives. isn't that part of the problem? in affect the last three or four election cycles we have had 3-4 strong conservative candidates who split the vote on the right allowing the single

trying to take over the conservative movement and the republican party and under the leadership of bill buckleywe fended off these people and they are identified today as libertarians. we had a battle with them and conservatives prevailed. the libertarians are back stronger than ever and in many ways that is a good thing. there are many things we do agree on and i think that is important for conservatives to find common ground. and i think if we don't do that it's going to be difficult for us to win as well as many governors and senate elections. in my lifetime i haven't seen a finer principle that a conservative run for a major office began running for governor in virginia this past november to end a libertarian candidate rathe libertariancandd got 7% of the vote as an outrage in my opinion. so, in order to have a strong united voting because we can, i think conservatives would be advised to look to come back for the vice presidential nomination and take a good look at rand paul. he i has a large following of young people out there. you brin bring a ticket togethee that and i think that it can

the court he was now a part of decisions in cases like first national bank of boston the bill oddie and buckleyviva layo greatly increase the power and influence of corporations in america and led directly to today's notions of corporate free speech and corporate personhood that were nailed into law by the supreme court's twenty ten citizens united decision. fortunately there is a way to stop all this madness and to take the money out of politics amend the constitution and skeptics argue that amending the constitution to say that money is not speech in those not protected by the first amendment or the corporations are not people in those not protected by the fourteenth amendment that's too hard a job do never never never will be done takes forever but back in one nine hundred seventy one when thousands of young americans were being sent over to the battlefields of vietnam to die massive anti-war demonstrations sprung up nationwide to protest the fact that young americans were old enough to go off to war but not old enough to vote very mcguire's song eve of destruction led the charge thanks to t

you know the previous standard in buckley bill layo was limits were allowed because they would prevent corruption or the appearance of corruption and look at last weekend for potential republican presidential nominees debasing themselves in front of the seventh richest man in the world a casino mogul trying to get him to put one hundred million dollars into their presidential campaign but there's no appearance of corruption or any obligation i maybe it's just called the basement of democracy i don't know but you know i figured out i looked and i had sorry go to get a piece of paper because it's a hard thing to remember but there were twelve hundred people who bumped up against this limit in the last election and that actually constitutes we now have a ruling of the supreme court which is designed to help one thirty seven no thirty seven one millionths of one percent of the society thirty seven one hundred million where i die another one percent were down near that thirty seven one millionth of one percent of the society yay supreme court that's amazing i had on the radio show today the

buckley is joining us. what is the latest in what can you give us about what is going on right now, bill? >> i think the governor said it well. we have multiple tornadic storms in progress across northeast alabama and this is far from over. in addition to tornadoes, we also expect very large hail, damaging straight line winds and flooding. this is a multithreat a afternoon and it will continue into the evening hours. >> and not just in mississippi but where else? >> extending into middle portion of tennessee and eastern missouri and as far northwest as into iowa. so this is covering a large area and unfortunately the same will be true as we move into tuesday and wednesday. so we have at least two more days before this weather system begins to move off the coast. >> and the tornadoes are ranked according to their severity. how powerful are these. >> it's difficult to say right now. they are obviously significant. to really assess the intensity, you've got to get out and do a ground and even aerial survey. that will happen in due time. we're focused on getting our warnings out. the ofgss ar
