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

pat buchanan. we begin with the fight over birth control and how republican men may be reaching for trouble. es herbpecially woman trouble. michael steel was chairman of the republican party and joan walsh, both are msnbc political analysts. i see the smile on my colleague's face. although she's wearing green a month ahead of time, here's your chance. speak loudly and clearly about what the republicans are doing to the potential of getting even a little bit of women's sport in the next election. >> they are decimating their chan chances. this has been one of the best things they could do for president obama. you know, the democrats lost certain groups of women in 2010, chris, and they are coming back in drones. we have had had so many great images. first of all, the whole debate over contraception dm the last two weeks t brought home to a lot of women, that wow. the affordable care act really pays for my contraception without a co-pay? that's a great benefit to a lot of women. this is terrifying. i

pat buchanan is at the white house to talk about that. let me begin.d in the last 24 hours it's the duty of america to defeat barack obama because of national security that he's writing over the constitution. how do you assess those remarks? >> well, i do agree that the president of the united states has used obama care really to ride rough shot over the prerogatives of the roman catholic church when you order the church and its institutions to engage in activities that that church has taught for centuries to be morally wrong. and i think the president ishas partially backed off of that and i think he should back off entirely, charlie. >> what about the race so far in terms of president obama and his inability to defend the national security of the united states also part of speaker gingrich's remarks? >> i think the president's done a good job on the war of terror and i disagree with some of my republican colleagues. i think we have to move out of iraq and move out of afghanistan. so i don't fault the president that much in terms of what he's done on

check two, on the web site fox news latino, juan williams asked pat buchanan about his controversial . >> so, let me ask you. are you a racist, pat? >> what does race do? i hate black folks? that's what racist means. i hate black folks. i want them discriminated against. i disliked them. i used bad words with them. no, it's not that. i do disagree profoundly with the affirmative action agenda and a number of other issues. >> all right. now the full interview is posted on fox news latino.com. check three. speaking in to your knowledge, secretary of state hillary clinton answered a loaded question about some tough on jihadist rhetoric in the republic campaign. >> let me say you will learn as your democracy develops that a lot of things are said in political campaigns that should not bear a lot of attention. there are comments made that certainly don't reflect the united states, don't reflect our foreign policy, don't reflect who we are as a people. if you go to the united states, you see mosques everywhere, you see muslim americans everywhere. that's the fact. so, i would not pay attent

of peril, using sharp mind and wit to stand up for someone who placed his trust in him, young pat buchananho has built his public career on being a stalworth loyalist to nixon. loyalty is the heart of pat's being. he is loyal to country, church, to neighborhood, to heritage, to pat the world can never be better than the one he grew up in as a young boy. gonzaga high school, georgetown university, no country will be better than the united states of america, of the early 1950s. his deep, loyalty to preserving that reality and all the cultural and ethnic aspects that has been his primal purpose and got him in trouble, not just but over the years. >> as the boys took back the streets of los angeles, block by block, my friends we must take back our cities and take back our culture

"politics nation" with al sharpton starts right now. >>> welcome to "politics nation." i'm al sharpton. tonight's lead -- outrage. there's growing anger from women and men at the right wing's attack on women's rights. all ignited by one sided hearing that featured no one speaking on behalf of women, and a careless joke by rick santorum's billionaire supporter. throughout the day today, women senators took to the floor of the senate to demand their voices be heard. >> 99% of all of america's women have used contraception at some time in their lifetime. when will they get this simple nondebatable fact? >> a republican house of representative that is so hostile to women's health that they didn't even think about having a person on there who was a female. >> one of the chief financial backers for rick santorum suggested that contraception was once as simple as

pat buchanan? >> perseverance first. secondly, he's an authentic conservative. he's had some lapses, but he's clearly one of most conservative in the race. third, you had michele bachmann, perry, cain, newt -- all vying for the conservative title, collapsing. he is the last man standing against mitt romney. and here's the real reason, john -- it's mitt romney's been unable to close this deal with the conservatives. he's been unable to sell them. the tea party conservative evangelical rite is desperately resisting this arranged marriage with mitt. it's astonishing that mitt hasn't been able to close it and that's what santorum has going for him. but, i will still put my money in the long run that mitt takes it. but it is going to be a long, long haul now. >> is newt capoot? >> newt is -- he did the wooden stake thing at the cross. he can't come back, i think, a third time. a souffle, it was -- miss roosevelt's daughter said you cannot get a souffle to rise a second time. >> eleanor? >> i think this insures the best case for romney is he gets a nomination but limp

pat buchanan has not been on msnbc for months. he wrote a book about race and immigration that said some things that shouldn't be part of the national conversation. one thing we've agree odd here is if you have a role on air and it is a privilege to be on the air, anything you say in any other forum could be used against you because it's not a right. you have to leave it there. >> shouldn't be a surprise. words matter, right? >> no matter where and how they're said. >> coming up in the second part of ""reliable sources" "whitney houston, how she went from a media sweetheart to a tragic figure, and the guy the press was all but ignoring, rick santorum, has a triple triumph in the campaign. why were the pundits so ready to crown romney the winner? and mimi alford, why did nbc give that story an hour of primetime? ♪ [ door creaking ] [ dog whimpers ] ♪ ♪ get up offa that thing ♪ and dance till you feel better ♪ ♪ get up offa that thing ♪ and dance till you -- sing it now ♪ [ dog barks ] [ deep beetle exhaust, dog barks ] ♪ you feel g

a friend of this show and a colleague of mine for years, pat buchanan. we begin with the fight over birth control and how republican men might be reaching for trouble, especially woman trouble. michael steele is chairman of the republican party. both are msnbc political analysts. i see the smile on my colleague's face and therefore, even though she's wearing green at least a month ahead of time, which is appropriate for my friend, joan, and i would expect a month celebration for st. p paddy's day. >> absolutely. >> speak loudly and clear ly to what the republicans are doing to the potential of even getting a smidgen of women's support. >> democrats lost certain groups of women in 2010, chris. they're coming back in droves. i think we have just seen -- we've had so many great -- this debate over contraception it really brought home to women that, wow, the affordable care act really pays for my contraception without a co-pay? people didn't know that. that's a great benefit to a lot of women. this is terrifying. i think that the terry schiavo moment is very

robert mapplethorpe did the homoerotic photographs with pat buchanan. if memory serves, pat buchanan when he ran for president in 1992 against the first president bush put in a spectacularly inspired attack ad with president bush. it's the first of either saint george h. w. bush edited into a homoerotic video. it was a splendid stuff but it was serrano did the crucifix. as you know, when you do something like that, somebody did a play in which jesus was gay and having an affair with judith iscariot. corpus christi it's called by terence mckellen on broadway a few years ago. and catholics held a placard on the sidewalk. if you have done that play about mohammad you would have had an entirely more motivated crowd waiting for you outside the stage door when you look any evening and that is why people don't do that kind of point about mohammed. i was at a conference in copenhagen a year and a half or so back with a fellow called -- he's not a right wing baca only thing. is a conventional year old lefty. and like many your left these of his generation, he ha

the protesters and caught the attention of some of nixon's men, particularly john mitchell and pat buchanan. nixon famously apparently said, although some nixon scholars question whether or not he ever actually said that a vice president -- vice presidential running mate cannot help you, can only hurt you. in 1968, he just did not place all that much attention to it. and by the late spring of 1968 and into the early summer before the convention in miami, nixon began to say, well, i have to choose someone. he met with agnew several times. came away apparently impressed, who i have found actually in my research something that i found very interesting. in march of 1968, milton eisenhower wrote agnew a letter saying although dick nixon is one of my best friends, we need to do everything we can to make sure that nixon doesn't get the republican nomination. agnew wrote back saying, i'm very interested in talking to you about this. if nixon had ever learned that agnew had done this, we can be sure that agnew never would have been the running mate. but nixon never performed any sort of background c
