buckley come he becomes buckleys go to guide. buckley cozies that the people with people like william j. simmons leader of the -- for those of you who don't know about the white citizen councils this was in the words of his the rotary version of the ku klux klan. the same alleys of the clan but they didn't wear hoods. they were business suits and went about pursuing their resistance their economic pressure and they could ruin people's lives that they were too friendly. buckley cozies up with people like him behind the scenes. buckley himself states his views on civil rights very clearly in 19571 in one of his most infamous pieces of writing on why the south must prevail. it should have been called by the white south should prevail. the civil rights act of 1957 a piece of legislation we don't talk much about anymore because it's a piece of legislation hollowed out of any meaning by senators like strom thurmond. it was a built in. it would help protect the civil rights of african-americans in the south. thurmond had a clause includ

buckley recognizes something. he said he recognizes the first half of the 20th century, magazine played really important role in american political culture on the left. magazines like the nation, new republic did help shape the movement in the first half of the nation. he wants a magazine of his own to help do the same thing on the right in the second half of the 20th century. he had a very wealthy father said dad, i want a magazine so he gave him this in turn heads and started a magazine and was a gifted fundraiser. this issue appears in november 1955 and over a year in the making before the first issue appeared and what buckley is trying to do is make the movement, we forget the conservative movement didn't really exist has a coherent thing at the time buckley is in this project. buckley set out to get groups on the right wing who otherwise disagree to unite together. these libertarians especially worried about economic affairs, these traditionalists especially worried about the decline and morality and religion

i put him up there with ronald reagan and bill buckley. and milton friedman. and

i put him up there with ronald reagan and bill buckley. and milton friedman. and thomas soul. me he was a dear friend, we will have on the program my buddy sean hannity, we worked closely with rush, and good friends with rush, before that, i want to show you what kind of a human rush was, the salt of the earth. going to help people, he didn't know. over the years we would communicate a lot. we would text and e-mail every night, every day. we shared our thoughts about life, governments, economics and the events of the day, he was smart estimate most wise person that i have known apart from my parents. i want to read you something from a book that i wrote, nothing do with politics or philosophy, rescuing is bright. i wrote this book after we had to put our adopted dog, our rescue dog sprite to sleep. we never experienced that before. since that we have done it 3 additional times, it is horrific every time. but as i was going through that. i was texting rush. i want you to hear some things he had to say. i know he would want me to share them with you. it is in the book. so as spr

buckley's assistant inviting me to it an editor's dinner at his home on park avenue. had the courage to go in i got in there and they all welcomed me with open arms. they made me feel like i was one of them. they were not threatened by my copy 30, personally or professionally, they were happy to have a new member, voice, articulating their beliefs. >> rush limbaugh was not only a brilliant conservative, a brilliant man cater, a brilliant marketeer, he was a brilliant businessman. he understood what that meant. that meant that a message could be sent throughout the country and this was his genius. he sees don knox to go after someone has control over it. i had total freedom to be honest about anything i wanted to talk about, and that's precious this talkshow host is the angel of deliverance for america's raging right, and he doesn't care if you like it or not. >> she's just playing a little hard to get folks. that's part of the traditional role of male-female relationships in america. i am not a bigot, i don't hate anybody, recessed or any of that stuff about people wh

i put him up there with ronald reagan and bill buckley, and milton friedman and thomas seoul. for me he was a dear, dear friend as well. we're going to have on this program for most of the program my buddy sean hannity shawn and i worked very closely with rush and we're very good friends with rush. before i do that, i want to show you what kind of a human being rush was. he was the soul of the earth. he was going to help people he didn't even know. over the years, he and i would communicate a lot as a matter of fact, years ago we would text and e-mail late into the night early into the morning, every single day. we shared our thoughts about life, we shared our thoughts about government, economics events of the day, and he was the smartest person, the most wise person, frankly that i've ever known apart from my parents. i want to read you something from a book i wrote the second book i wrote that had nothing to do with are politics or philosophy rescuing is right this little book and i wrote this little book after we had to put our adopted dog our rescue dogs bright to sleep. w

buckley jr.'s "firing line." and in 1974, william f. buckley jr. hosted john lewis, the cirights icon, to a conversation entitled "politics and black progress." take a look at this clip. >> okay. >> at this particular time in american history, i would say at the ballot box is the most effective and most meaningful instrument that black people can use toward bringing about justice and equality. i'm not suggesting that the ballot is dependency. it's not a queue at all, but it is a weapon, an instrument to be used to bring about changes in the south and throughout this countr >> you know, i picked that clip because it strikes me, charles, that your plan actually is in sync with the premise of lewis' argument and that if the south became a majority black again, it could, through the ballot box, combat white supremacy and inequality for black americans better now than prably any time in our history. is that it? >> yes. and it's fascinating to hear that. i believe absolutely that power is -- you know, i don't dwell in feelings about racism. i

buckley jr.'s best friend at yale and married buckley's sister.uckley is holding the book the two wrote together defending mccarthy. a staunchly conservative catholic, bozell junior was the more hard core of the two. he was even a speechwriter for mccarthy. at one point he even left america, land of the free, to live and the authoritarian rick dictatorship of franco in spain. when he returned to d.c. he was reportedly arrested for breaking into an abortion clinic to disrupt procedures where he slugged a police officer with a five-foot wooden cross. asked about his defiance of law and order he replied, if disorder is necessary to stop this murder of babies i am in favor of disorder. then came l. brent bozell iii, who spent decades running various organizations dedicated to attacking any news that isn't in line with conservative beliefs as liberal bias. his groups including the media research center implore people don't believe the fake news media, and of course he regularly appears to make this case in right-wing media, including on the day of the

you had william buckley who opposed the civil rights act.se were not people who were, like, not conservative. liz cheney is a far right winger who has almost a perfect voting record with trump. what has happened is -- the speaker said they're going to give the keys to greene. she has the keys already, does she not? >> she certainly does. >> david jolly. >> yeah, so, she certainly does. and you're peeling back an important nuance in the politics of this right now. these are not debates on the left/right ideological spectrum. if you look at today's democratic party, in november there was a debate between the moderates and progressives about who bore responsibility for the november losses. we see the debate over procedure, should they use reconciliation and go to 51 votes to get biden's agenda passed. those are traditional conversations and debates that are had within parties. these are not ideological left/right debates in today's republican parties. these are debates over fundamental values of democracy. was liz cheney correct in admonishing

buckley jr., who was the host of "firing line" for 33 years, was asked a question about extremism in american politics. take a quick look at this clip. >> the republican party has taken official action to rid itself of what it considers the extremist influences, specifically the john birch society. now, as a republican, do you support such action? >> the republican party has never conceded that it is influenced, so how can it remove something that never existed in the first instance? what the republican -- what certain republican officials have -- have consented to do is to state publicly that they do not seek the support of the john birch society, which, in a sense, is a venture -- a venture in redundancy, because i don't see that it was ever clear that they did seek the support of mr. robert welch, the support of mr. robert welch being, as we all know, a negative asset, in terms of modern politics. >> i mean, buckley has gotten a lot of credit, because he has actually called out the extremism on the right. and one of his biographers said he pointed out the john birch society was, q

they sent out william buckley, the buckley mission, and his job was to bring everyone on board, and hes back and he's not really persuaded that he's succeeded in any way shape or form so this is william buckley the state department official this is not william f buckley. so he was not very successful, overcome by a lot of quiet diplomacy, especially with us and nato allies. a critical aspect of the cold war story. >> thank you, and my thanks to you simon, elizabeth, and of course mary, and over to eric for some final words. >> my thanks to simon, and christian as well as those of you who have posed questions from the audience.

he's a conservative icon up there with people like scalia, ragan, buckley. he was a personal friend. you know he's a warm and decent man. he was in the southern command in florida for so long, we will miss him tremendously. he was a great guy. >> he was ahead of the curve. he told me 20 years ago, ingraham, why are you paying th taxes in dc, moved to florida. who wants to go to florida. now he's proven once again how smart he was. >> just think of how many tens of millions of dollars he saved over his 23 years in the state of florida. it was the right decision and w were so glad to have him. >> in moments, i promised i would share my personal reflections on rush limbaugh, and then former vice president mike pence will join me on how rush shaped his life. stay there. rward. they guide me with achievable steps that give me confidence. this is my granddaughter... she's cute like her grandpa. voya doesn't just help me get to retirement... ...they're with me all the way through it. voya. be confident to and through retirement. >> we're going to try to get through

i feel confident that the result will be the same as it was back then with folks like reagan and buckleyt's an argument that obviously we're going to have to have given some of the things that have happened over the last couple of weeks. >> one of the things you heard on the house floor were republicans bringing up statements from ilhan omar, the anti-semitic statements in the past, but maxine waters where she was telling crowds to get in the face of republicans. >> right. well, i just think these false equivalencies are a way that the republican party can distract from the fact that they are promoting and feeding conspiracy theories. when we think about representative greene, she has come into congress, and joe biden, who do they have? they have representative greene and donald trump. is this the future of the party, and as i think the more dangerous pieces, as we look to the strategy of republicans going to states and seeing how many republicans on the state level support representative greene, how many republicans on the state level are now censuring republicans who are trying to work

buckley built the ark architecture.litical practitioners, elected leaders who made the principles of conservativism a prague mat ific reality. but no history will be complete without a proper appreciation of the role played by rush limbaugh. he was as smars as any of the media. his contribution to the advance of conservative ideas was as a popularizer. he had an up rivaled ability to channel and articulate thed mood and sentiments of millions of americans whod had become just tired as what they saw as the ten twraition of their -- denigration of their ideals. he would lampoon the hi hypocris of media elites. but at the same time, he would remind and reassure listeners why they loved america, the shining beacon of hope and opportunity in a savage and often unfree world. yet at times it is his blistering critiques of the cant of the elites contributed to the fraying of the bonds that hold the country together that his own sunny optimism, delivered in thatter resistible way, offered a glimpse of the america that he and so

in the region now moving judging forces away from fox sports like the region regional forces are buckley. and i swap will mean that they'll be less concentration on less attention to the fight against boko haram and i saw in the region bordering nigeria . and is yet a public which of course when mean that the armed groups operating in that area may have a loophole to exploit in the region. reporting for insight story. france has been heavily involved in military operations aimed at stabilizing the region one year ago france agreed to send hundreds of additional troops to south and since then it's claimed a number of victories against armed groups but critics say they haven't resulted in lasting stability violence has escalated in the past year more than 7000 people have been killed and nearly 2000000 displaced by the fighting france is now planning to reduce troop numbers and seeking broader international support to stabilize the region. all right let's bring in our guests in bomb acoa molly or nella i want to ron is head of the sad program at the institute for security studies joining u

it was an intellectual revolution as deep and lasting as conservative revolution lid by goldwater, buckley reagan a half century ago. economic policy, pro business on tax and regulation, pro worker on trade and immigration. in foreign policy, america first, china confronted endless wars ended it worked, peace deal in most that long evaded trump's predecessors. record numbers in work, lowest black and hispanic unemployment rates in history. trump conservative populism worked in political terms too, republican won highest share of nonwhite vote in 60 years. for who really thinks we should go back to the establishment economics and endless wars and sucking up to china? certainly not republican voters, this is the future for the g.o.p. positive and optimistic,a we say at starts of every show, positive populism, pro worker, pro america, build on trump's foundation, then, add new elements, to add more people to the coalition. on the big issues that animate younger voters, show that we have the solution, not the left. on race, it is decades of democrat policies and leaders that inflicted poverty,

[laughter] chris buckley did a damn good job with make russia a great again he did manage to write a book that satirizes trump by having it written by a trump flunky who isn't that bright and quite will and is just puzzled why people don't like his boss the way he likes his boss. but it was rough. i remember when he was writing it it was giving him offense. it's hard to keep crap on the new were pilots a long climb to the top. [laughter] so a cry from the far middle, looking for a way to summarize it for our audience and phrase that comes to mind is these kids today. you and i are both very little since gender white guys. >> that's us. [laughter] with a recurring theme in the book which is wonderfully funny things really don't change that much overtime and young people generally have no clue about anything. is that fair? [laughter] >> having three people you have a couple. >> he just turned 40. >> oh my gosh. >> now he's being disappointed of another generation of the children. >> now he can borrow the car. [laughter] >> but i never get it back. >> of course kids today. they are clue

a reliable source of information for many people are starting to look elsewhere buckley because of our facebook policy of political censorship partly because of facebook inability on the other hand to monitor what is really regarded is fakirs. a un report due to be published next month's expected to accuse a top us private military firm of a legally sending fighters and arms to a libyan warlord are to america's alex mahalo it's next and this morning reporting on the notorious companies we call blackwater has now been renamed academy. it's been called a hit and run military campaign in 2011 a nato led regime change operation helped dismantle libya's government leading to the brutal killing of the country's leader moammar gadhafi. after that many say the country was abandoned by the western military coalition dividing libya and leading to a civil war between 2 factions both declaring themselves the legitimate government of the nation but 2 groups use local militias and foreign powers to their advantage of perpetuating the chaos in libya however earlier this month in geneva a un brokered

on william s buckley. what a change there has been and i'm wondering if you feel, as i do, that the men who are out front in the republican party whether it's their media spokespersons or politicians, the majority of them seem to gladly accept vulgarity. i look at our last president. it is my feeling that they have allowed themselves to become very domed down, intellectually, spiritually and culturally. i find that very offensive. host: thank you, any thoughts? guest: even though we said earlier on the phone that lincoln liked to tell a bawdy joke or something like that, in his public addresses, the gettysburg address in the second inaugural address, they were almost poetic. he didn't use vulgarity in his language. he didn't use nasty language, he didn't use name-calling, he didn't -- even when he was debating against stephen douglas and douglas said lincoln used to be an alcoholic. it's ironic because lincoln never drank but douglas was an alcoholic unfortunately. even then, lincoln made a joke. he said i

i put him up there with ronald reagan and bill buckley. and milton friedman. and

the kind of thinking you have had your entire life when i used to watch you on firing arm with bill buckley and freedman and others, it is this, you believe in liberty, you believe in competition, you believe in choice, you believe in ideas, you don't believe in physical impediments weathered skin or religion or whatever it is, you believe the american dream and you view charter schools as part of the potential for liberating our inner cities for getting poor kids educated and i want to get into that in more detail but why is this so hard to do in our inner cities to give mostly minority kids and their parents opportunities to go to schools other than the government building happens to be right down the block. >> it's because you have a powerful invested interest in the public treasury additional public school system as it is. charter schools are the greatest threat to that. i was frankly surprised at the magnitude of the difference between being educated and charter schools and those who are being educated in traditional public schools in the very same neighborhood and in the very same bui

buckley phrase the party that stands before history yelling stop.hat the -- this is not with the framers intended. the framers wanted a minority to have protections, the ability to debate and have input on the legislative process but they never intended minority to have a veto and it is that minority veto over the federal government and its policymaking apparatus that i think has caused us to fail essentially, to make progress on these critical issues today. when people look at the country and they see common sense bipartisan solutions out there on so many issues from gun control to climate change to income inequality and they wonder why things aren't getting done, you have to pinpoint it, it is the filibuster, this dynamic of a minority veto specifically that is blocking progress on all of these issues. victoria: something you said earlier, let's unpack what the founders contemplated. i think to a lot of people, the filibuster is as old as time. it almost has a quasi-semi-constitutional kind of cloak about it. it's elemental to our american democra

. >> martha: what goes through your mind when you listen to chris buckley? >> what goes through my mind, john how judgment will come. john when judgment will be passed, but the judgment on the teacher's unions the past year should and will be harsh. this is tantamount to child abuse. what we're watching unfold and what you eloquently laid out is subsequently tantamount to child abuse. if i might, i like to think of this as a scale, scales of justice. what weighs open both sides? as you pointed out, the teachers seem to be weighing on their side of the scale, the fear of getting covid. it's not backed up by science or data or the cdc. it's not backed up by anthony fauci. what more, the only thing i would have to add to what you laid out is, are the teachers trying to live a zero risk life? no chance of ever getting covid? are they living that life, by the way? are they not going out to dinner or leaving their homes or traveling? are they only applying this zero risk part of their life to when it comes to educating our children? when we look at that side of th

conservatism and there's a better conservative and i could talk about everyone from edwin burke to bill buckleyt at some point you have to say caroline is right that conservatism is what it says it is at the time. that's the conservative political action conference and they're getting the former president of the united states, they're getting sitting u.s. senators, sitting u.s. members of congress proud to object on january 6th, unwilling to denounce the insurrection on january 6th. does that mean -- you still want to try to weaken them within the republican party, defend the decent republicans, but i don't disagree with caroline that the fight for the republican party in the short term may be over. i wrote a piece about this last week, that maybe people like me now are the republican wing of the biden coalition, try to help president biden govern successfully. but you cannot afford to have that party that you are seeing a good chunk of on the stage at cpac back in power. >> your use of the republican wing of the biden administration made both williamses on the screen smile. both of these guest

bill buckley did the same thing at national review in the same era, and i remember asking the formerer that had been painful. and he said in that way of his, you know, the way to do george h.w. bush's voice is mr. roger 's trying to be john wayne. painful, no. it was hard and i did just fine. i think it is an important point for republicans who were republicans before the trump takeover, and i know there are arguments it wasn't a takeover but a natural development. i think that's a much more debatable point. but at this hour there is a live, extremist element threatening not only the health of one of our parties but the health of the nation itself and the literal health, as we saw, if i may say-so, in leader hoyer's amazingly good speech this week. the health of our elected representatives. you may say, if you are a democrat, if you are a progressive, you may say, good, let the republican party implode, and that may be fine. it may be fine to have this particular iteration of it, but since jefferson and hamilton the country has needed two parties. having a healthy competition ultimat

now he is a partner at buckley which is a d.c. law firm. counselor, thanks for being here. you know cy vance. any prospect that he runs again? >> great to be with you. there is certain a prospects that he runs again because he hansz no has not announced, but he hasn't baby been fundraising and so highly unlikely. but certainly still a sliver of a possibility. >> so in a case of this magnitude and complexity, is it conceive aceivable that it coul wrapped up meaning a decision whether charges will be brought before the end of his term? >> certainly it is a complex very. i understand that there are millions of pages that they got to say nothing of what they have gotten from deutsche bank or the lenders. there may be other learneds they have been gathering records from all over the place. so it could take time to analyze, but it is certainly possible and i'm sure that they are working towards trying to make a decision before the end of this year. >> i recognize you're on the sidelines like the rest of us. but you have a remember trained eye and experience. where do you think fo

i put him up there with ronald reagan and bill buckley, and milton friedman and thomas seoul.

buckley phrase the party that stands before history yelling stop. against the conservative minority the ability to wield a veto over everything that passes if this is not what the framers intended. the framers wanted a minority to have protections, the ability to debate and have input on the legislative process but they never intended minority to have a veto and it is that minority veto over the federal government and its policymaking apparatus that i think has cost us to fail essentially to make progress on all of this critical issue today. when people look at the country and basic commonsense bipartisan solutions on some issues from current control the climate change to change the income inequality and the wind when things are not getting done, the argument about its the filibuster and it's this dynamic of the minority veto specifically that is blocking progress on all of these issues. >> let's unpack something you said early, in your answer you just said right now about what the founders contemplated. to a lot of people the filibuster is as old a

he's stained by his record but he has what used to be an organization born of william f buckley aboutive ideas and rebels and challenging the establishment. that's what it is, john, pure and simple. i covered cpac for years. that organization doesn't exist anymore. in the is the trump parallel universe. let's promote the big lie, attack on the truth, attack on the fact, attack on decency and democracy, go forit. >> gloria, one person that won't be at cpac is the former vice president mike pence and you got new reporting tonight on the relationship between the former president and former vice president and what has been going on there. what have you learned? >> i was told by a knowledgeable source that pence and trump have spoken a couple of times since the inauguration. pence called trump once, and it went the other way around the other time, and i was told that the relationship is amicable. that's it. my source would go no further and would not describe the contents of the phone calls, but as you mentioned, pence has decided to hang back and stay quiet for six months and my source sa
