you worked for nbc for a decade, pat.our views were not exactly unknown to them prior to you coming on that network. i don't think there was any shortage of liberals there, pat to counter your arguments or debate with you or disagree with you. as a matter of fact, i would think that, you know, you are the one lone voice i can think of with a different point of view. in seriousness, i read your writings. i watched you on cross fire. i watched you over the years, interviewed you. i don't see that your views changed. so what happened here? >> well, sean, this is the thing. clearly when i was with richard nixon and we won 49 states and white house and i was with ronald reagan and we won 49 states, bucannon view could be considered, center right, where the country was at or the majority of the country. i haven't moved at all. the fact that the views i held and express which did very well in elections and i express when i did well in the two elections, 92 and '96, in the republican primaries with 3 million votes, there are no l

we want to welcome to the c-span classroom pat buchanan. thank you for being with us. >> thank you, steve. >> let me begin with the obvious. why did richard nixon run that year? >> i think richard nixon wanted to be president of the united states certainly almost back into the early 1950s. he had run in 1960, and i think he felt he had made some mistakes then. he almost, i think, considered trying to move in ahead of goldwater after goldwater ran into difficulty in 1964. he felt he was more mature and that this would be his time in 1968 and all the planets came into alignment for him. it was an extraordinary year, but i think he sort of always wanted to be president of the united states from the time he became vice president. >> he was the so-called new nixon. was he knew or different from 1960? >> he would tell me about certain people that had worked with him. he said pat, they're eight years older than they are, and i'm eight years younger. there was no question about it. nixon had matured in a way up there out of office, been humiliated

that something was pat robertson. specifically pat robertson's school the year after mr. robertson ran for president. bob mcdonnell was not a kid at this point in his life. he was married, had kids of his own, a mid-career change undertaken by an adult. at pat robertson's university while bob mcdonnell was in his mid-30s, the republican's party vision for the family the compelling issue of the decade. leaders, bob mcdonnell argued correct the folklore of church and state. to punish could habitate tors, homosexuals or fornicators. man's basic nature is inclined toward evil, when the exercise of liberty takes the shape of pornography, drug abuse or homosexuality, hey, that is me, the government must restrain, punish and deter. bob mcdonnell said the supreme court ruling in griswold versus connecticut which says states can't criminalize contra shin he said that was i will lodge kay. he raged against the perverted notion of liberty, each individual should live out his sexual life in the way he chooses, without interference from the state. that was bob mcdonnell's vision for w

>> try harder, pat!>> the president did not cause the economic and fiscal crisis that continue in america tonight. but he was elected on a promise to fix them. and he cannot claim that the last three years have made things anything but worse. the percentage of americans with a job is at the lowest in decades. one in five men of prime orking age and nearly half of all persons under 30 did not go to work today. the president's grand experiment in trickle down government has held back rather than sped economic recovery. no feature of the obama presidency has been sadder than its constant efforts to divides us, to create favor with some americans by castigating others. >> question, handling of the response. >> excellent. doesn't have a lot of stage presence but there's a lot of substance there, more memorable lines than the president had in 70 minutes. and he got to what are generally the big issues facing this country. i agree with pat, the state of the union was a centrist speech, catalog of that won't go

pat, you alluded to the tension between the nixon administration and the nixon campaign and then administration and the media, some of which was carried by speeches by president agnew, vice president agnew, and i understand a pretty good speech write writer had the phrase the bombs of neglect tichl to characterize the network anchors and reporterses. can you talk about how it's safe to say this was the historical moment which it happened. there was an inkling of conservatives about the media in the 1964 convention speech of dwight eisenhower. eisenhower was not a great, blazing or for, and he got up and made a statement like, and we don't need the advice of sensation-seeking columnists and commentators. in that convention, the roof went off it. it said americans at least conservatives had already taken to heart the idea that the media was negative. then in 1969 dafsh this was agnew's famous speech in des moines where he attacked all three networks. incidentally, i wrote na speech. i suggested the speech first to the president. he said go ahead with it. so i wrote it, and then i wrote -- i did t
