pat buchanan?> john, the president's strategy is non-credible. it's an open-end, no-win war. in syria, you'll need boots on the ground to take down isis. the turks are saying we're not even going in, we're not going to help. assad has one army fighting against them and we can't work with isis, so we're going to build an army of white hats outside the country. it is inherently non-credible. in iraq, the iraqi army has been routed by syria. the shia militias have done well, but are despised across the region. what i see here is basically a formula for a no-win war and the republicans should not get aboard unless they get a credible strategy, which we do not now have. >> eleanor? >> well, this general from this arm chair sees it a little differently. first of all, the republicans are getting on board. secondly, this is not a conventional war. this is not another iraq or afghanistan. this is a counterterrorism effort. and yes, it will continue into the indefinite future. the president is putting togeth

. >> guest: it has always been of seem like pat buchanan talk about this. but look at the 19th century as a protectionist country you can argue if it is the right thing or the wrong thing but for someone to describe to me the american industrial base was built in that was what happened so the argument on the right has been the economic nationalism. and it is not just about economic nationalism but a level playing field if i could china and have to pay 15% to get my goods into china but to export you get a 50 percent subsidy so that trade argument is about equalizing. again it is always more complicated the way he is portrayed by he saved hall the davidson in the early '80s people would remember. and harley-davidson was going bust. he slashed the tires from the japanese motorbikes and saved the industry. >> what is the effect. >> the problem is the demand for the chinese goods you could stop terrorists with the naming and shaming. and with that industrial base if you like it would not help the u.s. arguments silicon where china started from. and it is the cu

>> pat buchanan? >> from a word, no. think we can degrade isis john but we can't destroy or defeat it with aware strikes. the key to isis is it is in syria right now and it is going to take ground troops to defeat it but the only ground troops are isis in al qaeda in the north and in the south a syrian army backed by hezbollah and iran. we have no cards on the table in terms of ground troops from syria. in iraq we have no ground troops there, none of our allies are going to provide ground troops. in the north you can defend with american air power. you have the shy adominated government, you get to tick crete, months sull, no way we can take that back without ground troops. john you cannot defeat isis ever unless you send in ground troops into syria and iraq. >> eleanor? >> well the air strikes can brush back, they are brushing back isil and they are necessary, because you can't just let isil continue to take ground at-will. they have already got like a third of iraq and a safe harbor from syria, so i think the air strik

he wrote it almost entirely by himself, along with ray price, pat buchanan, and richard whelan, and iparticipated in this as well, but this article really telegraphed the opening to china. nobody paid attention to it. it is quite cryptic. it is called "asia after vietnam," and nixon calls for a series of summit meetings and the opening of asia. but nobody picked it up and nobody -- and he did not elaborate on it. people thought that it was nixon referring to his secret plan for vietnam. but he never had a secret plan for vietnam. that initiative was in place during -- place. now, i participated and was walking out with henry, and it don't know -- and i don't know if you are walking out of this meeting as well, and he said find a way to get in touch with china. that was the last remark out of the door from the oval office walking down the hall. and henry muttered, "is he crazy?" well, he himself became the vehicle to get in touch with china. >> it was beyond that. i fit for your first, 1969, 1 week -- on february 1, 1969, one week after the inauguration, henry agreed with the concept a

people watching from off stage and overhearing things and i remember president reagan saying to pat buchanan. had said, "are you feeling a little nervous or anxious before your first meeting with the gorbachev?" reagan laughed and said no, i am not. he said something he often times said in the office. "i used to have to sit down and do negotiations with jack warner. this is nothing." [laughter] i was there one time when he said in the office. as you go back to certain themes, i go back to reagan as union president, head of the screen actors guild negotiating with great, tough visionary killer pioneers of hollywood. the great owners of the studio and learning their in a way how clever he was and how sometimes you go soft here and heart here. that was a school for him. it set them very nicely for negotiating with soviet chief. craig shirley, what are your thoughts? >> it has never changed of reagan. i grew up as a child of the reagan revolution. in 1965, i grew up in upstate new york. my parents were charter members of the conservative party. went to all of the conventions and there were deleg

he had gotten out of the race, so he was not holding on like pat buchanan and some other people, but there was a bad taste in the reagan people's mouths about george bush. they thought he was too moderate and that he would not be a good match. up with thelf comes idea, along with kissinger, who , abouteagan's ear bringing ford in. there is nothing that prohibits gerald ford from coming in. he can be elected vice president as many times as he wants. the constitution does not say, so the negotiations go through between henry kissinger, brent scowcroft, i believe, and the reagan team, and they are this close. reagan is about to drop this bombshell, and ford goes on up into the skybox in detroit, and he talks to walter cronkite. thekite has got pieces of story, and he says, are you a candidate for the vice goes on forand ford about two minutes without saying the word no. reagan is looking at this on television and goes crazy. he feels he has been betrayed. when he really says is this just shows that a co-presidency will not work, that jerry ford is not going to be that kind of a team pla

people like pat buchanan talked about this and they were on the fringes of the debate in many ways but if you look at the 19th century america was the great protectionist country. that's a historical fact. we can argue about whether was the right thing or the wrong thing but the fact is as someone described to me the american industrial base was built, that's just what happened. so the argument on the right is very much, has been about or shaded into as you say economic nationalism and actually it's not just about economic nationalism. it's about having a level playing field so if i'm exporting to china i probably have a 15% tariff to get into china whereas if i make chinese exporter to get a 15% subsidy so they trade argument is about equalizing that playing field. >> host: it's not just about harley-davidson. >> guest: right, again these things arise more complicated. reagan is portrayed as this great betrayer but he saved harley-davidson. in the early 80s people remember all these japanese motorbikes are flooding america and harley-davidson was going bust. he slapped a tariff on the

i thought, that's the end of pat buchanan. [laughter] and nixon says, pat, have you met wynn rockefeller? this was winthrop rockefeller, the brother of nelson and david rockefeller, but he was a great war hero. he was the youngest of the brothers. he'd been involved in some scandal, bobo rockefeller in the '50s i'd been reading about, but a great fellow. and that was my first introduction to the rockefellers in that campaign. >> you can watch this and other programs online at booktv.org. .. >> mary frances berry, in your book, long memories, the black experience in america, you write most black americans always been more american than white americans. >> guest: sort of like being more catholic than the pope, be leaving more in the values and principles that are laid out in the declaration of independence and the preamble to the constitution and which are part of the american ethos. and believing fundamentally, using those principles as a way to ask for the progress on equality for them. that is what i mean. >> host: what is the
