of course, there was pat buchanan, ross perot to an extent. pat buchanan had the paleo-conservative movement, noted primarily for its strictness on immigration and trade. and very modest, really isolationist-leading policy. he was the leader who was saying that it was time to readjust after the fall of the soviet union and get back to a more humbler, super-traditional form of conservatism. it was not just those conservatives, as my friend and colleague has frequently written, even irving kristol, one of the great neoconservatives -- back when the term meant something utterly different than what it means today -- in the 1990's, after the fall of the soviet union, he famously said it was time to get back to a more humble conservatism. to a more nation-state-centric, more nationalist, traditional, religious, conservatism, and away from these more liberal, internationalist strands, while the primary aim of the movement was to defeat the soviet union. we saw this happening. we saw pieces of it play out in the 2000 presidential primary. george w. bu

in october, the federal judge buchanan says the justice department should narrow the order. the justice department returns to the judge with secret information that cnn's lawyers could not even see and persuades the judge to reissue this demand for barbara starr's e-mail records. in november, cnn appeals to another judge, and in december we finally get a different result from a federal judge anthony traga, who sides with cnn's side to narrow the scope of the request. the judge in part says the requested information is two attenuated, not sufficiently connected to any evidence relevant material or useful to the government's ascribed investigation, particularly when considered in light of the first amendment activities that it relates to. in january of 2021 now, the last few days of the trump administration, the justice department goes back to the judge and asks for the judge to reconsider his order, because he is saying that cnn has a point to narrow the scope of this request. then after joe biden becomes president on january 20th, finally the justice department sits down wit

populist demagoguic kind of orientation that republicans had had a terrible experience with pat buchanan, damaged george bush's reelection. >> prior to that you write in your book crime in progress that -- this is from march of 2016. there was knew unanimity inside fusion to keep trump out of the white house and also unanimity as to why and many traits disqualified him for the job and political rhetoric was loathsome but ties to the criminal underworld is reliance on hidden flows of russia money and his record of business top the list. this was all prior to project vanguard. >> it was the first phase of project vanguard. phase two was for the democrats. you're right, this was where we were in the spring of 2016 when the republican primaries were starting to wind down. we had done, you know, 7 months of research into donald trump and had formed some very definite opinions of who this person was and whether he was qualified to be president and he wasn't. as that passage indicates, a lot of our concern didn't involve the issues that are now front and center in terms of the controversy over

and in the us, there are a lone wolf attacks on almost a weekly basis pool. buchanan used to be a high ranking official in the u. s. department of defense. he now works as a security consultant in new zealand. he assisted deal, sorry, that in the aftermath of the christ church attack, western security agencies have been late to the party. they've spent so much time and effort in the last, almost 20 years now looking at extremist islam that they haven't paid enough attention that was going behind the internet walls. where white supremacist perhaps is a dialogue dialectical opposition to the islamic. his have organized very thoroughly their way ahead of the security authorities up until the last 3 years. the issue white supremacist was considered a local law enforcement problem. it was not a national security problem, and this is for the entire western liberal democratic world. now we know that that in fact is false. it's an international phenomena and it needs to be combat it as an international phenomena with the same rigor that the fight against archive dash were undertaken. and that

and president buchanan essentially granted all federal of a ssrs license to capture fredericton cluster of where he was and sent him to virginia for trial and almost certain death. technically, douglas was an accomplice with john brown because of his close friendship with him. douglas immediately got news of it. he mediately fled to canada. it was from canada that he wrote a newspaper. he wrote a newspaper article saying, acknowledging his friendship with the browns saying he does not oppose conspiring against u.s. government as long as it will work because the true ideals of the government are for freedom. he thinks lost england for six months. and when he returns, essentially congress has a senate investigation for john brown, and they understand how politically combustible the rate is. in order to try to prevent more sectional tensions they essentially don't prosecute anyone and when douglas returns he is able to, no one accuses him of being a conspirator. and then, by, once the civil war breaks out increasingly americans come to agree with projectiles who said in the wake of his dea

james buchanan who's kind of looming in the left there? his niece harriet lane. we've already seen a wonderful bust of cave johnson james and sarah write in the center there and and directly next to you on the other side of james is dolley madison. it's a really it's a great picture. sarah polk was the first first lady to invite a daguerreotypus. it was a brand new technology into the white house to take pictures. so the first photographs we have at the white house. we're taking during the whole presidency. now the reason that sarah was able to throw herself into her husband's work and become so fully a political creature is because she forced her nieces including joanna you see next to her to do the normal work of a first lady. she required her nieces to return all of the calls that were made on her and these were the normal time sync. for first ladies, and this allowed her to help james with his correspondence to meet with politicians and to help allay office seekers. a number of scholars have written that the fact that there were always nieces and nephews in t
