but i do think starting with, starting with a buckley book is not, it's just not -- and any buckley book that sort of -- maybe not his mystery novels, but that could give you an overview, or his sailing books. it does give you a sense, frankly, that our movement isn't just about politics. and so, yeah, read a sailing book. >> all right. we'll go ahead and open it up for student questions. >> while the first person's coming up, could i just send these around? these are booklets aprepared. >> and you get a free book. [laughter] >> all right. let's go ahead and take the first question. >> okay. this question is for a friend, and he wants to know for a conservative prelaw student what book would you guys recommend for him. >> i would, i would recommend probably a book by randy barnett who's -- yeah, he's a law professor at georgetown university, it's called "restoring our lost constitution." it's appropriate for a law student. i think a layperson could read it and get a lot out of it. there's also a book called liberties in the constitution by bernard segin, and they both go through a lot of

pick a buckley book and read it. whenever it is, it might be miles gone by, but there's a vast collection. maybe start with a collection. wind of bridges put together a collection after he died with the title, "a history full of diversions and ill line -- i lym nations. you might start with that collection, and i promise you the title does not do it justice. it's very, very easy to read one essay at a time, one interview at a time in some of the collections. read books i would recommend to you, read books about people you admire, people you think you admire. read books about people who are admirable and know nothing about. i'm grateful for me friend for writing a book about bonhoeffer. this would not come up on a conservative reading list necessarily, but i knew close to nothing about the lutheran pastor killed by nazis until i read it, and now i recommend it to everyone. it's nourishment and inspiration. don't buy a self-help book, this is how you self-help, you read good books about good people. you take in good in

i do think starting with -- starting with a bill buckley book is not -- it's just not -- any bill buckley- maybe not his mystery novels, but that's not giving an overview, but it does give a sense, frankly, that our movement is not just about politics, and, so, yeah, read a sailing book. >> opening up to student questions. we have a couple minutes. running short on time, but we have a couple minutes. >> while the first person is coming up, can someone send these around? these are book lists i prepared. >> and you get a free book. >> you get a free book if you have the lucky gold star. >> let's take the first question. >> okay. this question is for a friend, and he wants to know for a conservative prelaw student, what book would you guys recommend for him? >> i would recommend probably a book by randy barnett who's a law professor at the cato constitute called "restoring our lost constitution." it's appropriate for a student. there's an older book called "economic liberties in the constitution," a great book on the constitution as well, and they both go through a lot of supreme court cases

thefore you have got to ask yourself the buckley ruled. after bill buckley. he said i would volt.ays vote for the most conservative candidate who can win. that, i think, will be the key way to answer your question. who on the stage was acceptably conservative. perhaps not the most ideological authentic or committed but still acceptable who can win? and i think with the performance of governor perry. i think him as the answer to that question is rather questionable now. because i think he had a bad debate, three in a row and the question is could he win in november. that's really up in the air. >> bill: why did very a bad debate though? specifically, give me one -- give me your top choice to demonstrate that governor perry had a bad debate. >> i will give you a couple. his best moment. the most affecting moment. the most moving moment is when he encountered the movement, about conservative cancer and said you were responding to the lobbists, and gave a new answer. he said. no i was lobbied by a 31-year-old woman dying of cancer. that's a powerful response. and, yet, two things happ

i would invoke the buckley rule.lways vote for the most conservative candidate who can win. in 1980, ronald reagan had to make a threshold is he acceptable, can you live with this guy? he had been demonized in the past as radical -- radical ideologue, he was accepted, he wins. obama will be relatively weak. high unemployment. that will be the threshold for the question of any republican. is he electable? does he meethe threshold that independence and disaffected democrats would accept? so far i think romney is dng that. >> anyone who doubts the republican party is a far more conservativenstitution that was when george w. bush ran and won in 2000 and 2004, the evidence last night was abundant. here is rick perry, governor of texas, has a program that if you are the child of undocumented immigrants who come to this country, you grow up in the nine states, go to 12 years of school compile a good academic record, and then you can go to the university of texas system as an in-state resident. he is attacked, vilified, cond

buckley. >> this is the first full biography of bill buckley. an icon of the conservative arena. he was the father of conservatism as it is known today. a remarkable man. absolutely remarkable man. very little has been written about him. this is the first full-scale biography. >> did mr. bogus have access to his library? >> he had access to every available resource. bogus is more liberal in his political persuasion so it is a very interesting balanced biography and fascinate people on both sides of the aisle. >> someone who is not liberal in their persuasion is an offer we have covered often on booktv who is victor davis hanson. i see a novel coming out by him. >> this is his first novel and a remarkable epic it is. a novel about a great greek general and the extraordinary battles he fought. it brings alive warfare in the ancient world in a way that very few people can. because he knows so much about history and ancient history of this book is alive with that kind of detail. it is a fascinatin

i go with the buckley rule. you go with the guy that has the best chance of winning. in 1980, ronald reagan had to meet a threshold. is he acceptable? can you live with this guy? he may have been demonized in the past as a radical ideologue, but he wins. obama will be not quite as weak as carter, but with relatively high unemployment, that will be the threshold for any republican. does he mean a threshold that the independents and disaffected democrats would accept? thus far, i think romney is doing that. >> anyone who doubts the republican party is a former conservative institution than it was when george of the bush ran and won in 2000, 2004, the evidence last night was abundant. here is rick perry, governor of texas, has a program that if you are the town of undocumented immigrants that come to this country, you grow up in this country, you go to school for 12 years, but then you can go to the university of texas system as an in-state resident. and he is attacked, vilified. he is condemned by every other republican. there is no conservative on that stage except for

buckley jr., the greatest of all moderate conservatives, started a new magazine, "national review," he looked for money from wall street and other very wealthy people. one of their arguments was going to be the injustices of a tax code, in which the very wealthy paid 90%. and the business people said, we can live with this. we pay a larger share because we make more money. we don't expect to be infinitely richer than anybody else. we'll pay the large share. and this was standard conservative philosophy, all the way through the 1960s as well. >> let's take a look at a town hall meeting in silicon valley. here's president obama. he took questions from the crowd, and one of the people in the crowd say something very much like warren buffett. >> i don't have a job, but that's because i've been lucky enough to live in silicon valley for a while and work for a small start-up down the street here that did quite well. so i'm unemployed by choice. my question is, would you please raise my taxes? >> e.j., you know the fight we're starting here on this show. you know the very well-off people say

buckley. i also support traditional marriage. i've been married for 20 years and seven children. realize we may disagree on some of this. in party, we can disagree in some areas and still be united by our core beliefs life, economic liberty, of the taxes, balance the budget, a free- market, and limited government. we must appeal to the two-party and to conservative republicans. we must also bring into the tent moderate republicans, independents, and conservative democrats. youwas ronald reagan fro reminded that a person who agrees with the '80s term of the time is a 80% french and not a -- friend and not a 20% enemy. we need a party that can sell those core principles to the broadest possible audience. president obama's only hope for reelection is if we feel to broaden our appeal and make the sale. the largest tax cut in the history of my state of utah, balanced budgets, first in the nation in job growth, a free- market health care reform without a mandate, pro-life, and pro second amendment. and the support for civil unions. i'm not pretending to be someone i am not. i am not go

he's basically paraphrasing bill buckley by saying that voters want a clear contrast. think that what's happening is that romney's being called to answer on the issue of romney care in a way that tim pawlenty was never able to nail romney and perry is also trying to show how he himself, his record on jobs, his record on making small government, how these things are totally different than president obama, which is a very different thing for romney. so perry's just going to have to define himself. he shouldn't let his opposition especially of romney, define him. he should just go by his record. in many ways it is an introduction to the rest of the country because many people aren't as familiar with governor rick perry. >> does michele bachmann get a chance to re-assert herself here? >> only if someone's dumb enough to pick a fight with ler, as pawlenty today. i'm hoping one of of these guys is dumb enough to pick a fight with her, then she will re-emerge as one of the candidates to look for. but right now i think her star's fading and she may have to drop out soon. we're
