pat buchanan was his name. im pitchfork pat and if you really want to understand the moment we're living in, go back to its roots. back to the 1990s. back when everything seemed to be humming in america. there was low unemployment, the stock market was surging, peace and prosperity for everyone to enjoy but that was the surface. beneath the surface there was sweeping transformation, economic, technological, demographic and with all of that there were rising tensions and then from the right a cable television pundit who saw a chance to take advantage of it with a new kind of populism. pat buchanan went from cnn to the presidential campaign trail in 1992 challenging george h.w. bush. the sitting president in the republican primaries. he won the gulf war in 1991 but buchanan said it was a waste. bush wanted nafta, but buchanan said that was a sellout of workers, a sellout of america's sovereignty, "america first" was his slogan. a few years before, ronald reagan had granted amnesty to those who came to the united s

like pushing nixon to the right. >> pat buchanan becomes george bush's worst nightmare.alking to the american people who are feeling a little unsure as the reagan prosperity engine sputters. >> all those are with us can come on in. >> while george bush was an excellent foreign policy president, he was not a good politician. >> to get to that. >> let me quote the words of one arab leader, saddam hussein himself. >> pick this up or take it out much my off my october or -- pocket or -- >> george bush was a little awkward. it's like he's pretending to be a politician. he did not look forward to the '92 election. >> to deflect public criticism of his foreign travels, the president said his trip to japan was about jobs, jobs, jobs. the result was hardly what his image makers hoped for. >> the lone camera in the dining room was locked in on the head table when president bush was overcome by nausea and fell forward. it appears he lost consciousness as he toppled over on to his host, the prime minister. >> this man who had overseen the soft landing of the cold war, who had been c

i think if it hadn't been for pat buchanan and the butterfly ballot, al gore would have been presidentthe united states. >> a hand recount of the vote is already under way tonight in palm beach county. one of four florida counties which could determine who becomes the next president. >> there were four counties where we had concrete evidence of irregularities and so we asked for in-depth recounts in those four counties. >> the blame may fall squarely on a tiny piece of paper called a chad. the chad is what votes are are supposed to punch out of paper ballots when they make their choice, sometimes it sticks. >> the hanging one is counted. the swinging door is counted and the triis counted. >> the ones that are not counted are the ones that are just dippeled or pregnant, a little bit out but not true. >> the real issue at hand now is the decision by florida's secretary of state katherine harris to have all ballots from all counties turned in and certified by tomorrow night. >> i've decided it is my duty under florida law to exercise my discretion in denying these requested amendments. >>

if you look at the mathematical statistics on the people who voted for pat buchanan, it spiked hugely. me, ifllot issue -- to you have a social security id? there thatates out are blue states that register as many illegals as they can, and that should be a federal violation. one last thing -- how do we know the russians hacked the dnc server if they never turned the server over? i am amazed at people believing everything the fbi says without any actual proof. i have seen none. host: we will get a response to your questions. thank you. guest: thank you, chad. that is correct that the butterfly ballot was another major site of problems in terms of questioning afterwards whether the election technology in use allowed people to vote for their actual preferred candidate. that ballot design -- that is why these questions of administration are so critical. buying sudafed is not a constitutional right, but casting your vote as an eligible american is. we do not see a problem of ineligible people really voting in federal or state elections. you are right, there are some jurisdictions where for

it pulled those out of the republican party and that national election and in 1996, pat buchanan was just like that but he expanded it to have social populace. people forget, pitch for -- pitchfork pat beating bob dole as the last man standing with 25 % of the vote. you could do well with 25 % of the vote. he survived longer than phil graham who was one of the smartest people in american politics. this popular tourism -- populism existed. we tend to consolidate anomalies quickly and we don't have three or four man races where someone is getting 30 % of the vote to win the primaries. that is the difference in the last election. sarah palin is no more the creator of the tea party just like ross perot or pat buchanan . we've got this. it is a new thing to say this is brand no. people have run races. we have two side steps in order to elect establishment politicians. i can't believe john mccain is being called an establishment politician and because he won the nomination he became an establishment politician.>> when you look back to 2016, jeb bush blew $100 million. it is not about money,

just like ross perot or pat buchanan and even a little brand of pat robertson. we have got this.is a very new thing. sort of the somehow this is all brand-new to our party. people who have run races, we have had to sidestep voters in this area in order to elect "establishment politicians." i can't believe john mccain today is being called an establishment politician. and yet, because he won a nomination, he became an establishment politician. meghan: also, when you look back in the race in 2016, jeb bush blew $100 million. again, it is not about money anymore, it is about messaging. i think president trump's messaging resonated with a lot of people in a way that i don't attend to completely understand all the time because i family -- we are like the hatfield and mccoys between his family and mine. i think we need to be more compassionate to voters. mark: one of the things that none of us understood, i think i can speak for you and i can speak for this audience, is donald trump saying your father was not a war hero. he drew the ire of so many americans, and yet sailed on to win th

i wish she would have taken a page out of ronald reagan in 1987 who did the same thing, he and pat buchananter, they held strong and besought peace between us and russia. the same thing needs to happen with president trump. he needs to realise he needs to reverse the course and it's been his strong foreign policy. in dealing with north korea and the middle east. he needs to continue that with russia. the united nations has called for an immediate halt to violence in nicaragua, which it says has claimed the lives of almost 300 civilians over 3 months of fighting. the central american country has seen regular protests since the government announced public spending cuts in april. on tuesday the un said the violence had been ‘overwhelmingly perpetrated' by armed government forces. andrew plant reports. another protest in the corrupter of. seems like these are now common here. widespread, well attended and high risk. state police look on and beside them, other unidentified forces with covered faces. 280 people have been killed since demonstrations began in april and there are claims of kidnappin

we will get a read with pat buchanan. adam shapiro. day. >> and the president is in the oval office and said he would make his decision by noon today. we are past that. the name hasn't leaked if he has, indeed, made the decision, the four front runners are believed, and remember the president said there are front runners. bret kavanaugh, law clerk to kennedy, ties to george bush administration. you have thomas hardiman, he's the man as teenager drove taxis part time, went to notre dame. there's amy coney barrett and drove praise during confirmation last year to federal circuit court because feinstein was going after religious beliefs and then there's raymond kethledge who has been referred to as gorsuch 2.0. those are the four front runners. as you take a look at u.s. supreme court, already, neil, protests are being planned as well as demonstrations in support of the nominee. protests on the step of supreme court tonight 8:00 p.m. by the pro-life -- pro-choice group, the national abortion rights action league. on the other side, have t

he used to run pat buchanan's campaign. they launch specifically for collusion. the whole idea here and her american knows it, is to try to set up back channel communications from the russian government to the u.s. they hit on the idea that many in the nra have this unusual influence with certain members in the republican party, and that was her point of entree, and, you know, there's a sort of titillating aspect. when push comes to shove, it is a bit of a dark political tale. it was kind of easy, as jeff says to really consort with a whole bunch of people, and there's going to be a lot of embarrassed older men, i think, whose facts are going to be coming to light in the next couple of months. >> you were reading -- she played them. right? she worked them. >> she played them. >> she worked them is what happened. harry, listen, she's wrapped up with a milwaukee county sheriff david clark, and in 2015 clark was part of an nra delegation that went to moscow to meet with butina's group, the right to bare arms. her group paid $6,000 of clark's travel expenses. i mean,

then to pat buchanan who is in washington and man is he ever fired up. not over democrats what he calls trump derangement syndrome, but how what they are saying now this summer sounds very much like what they were saying 50 years ago this summer. we compare. you decide. we've got you covered, america. time to get to it, america. regrettable, what the north koreans are now saying about a certain visit on the part of the secretary of state to their country. uh-oh. to rich edson in tokyo with the latest. >> the secretary of state just arrived here in tokyo a short while ago. he said he had productive meetings with north korea in pyongyang. he left north korea a short while before landing here in tokyo. and now the north korean foreign ministry is saying the conversations that they had with the secretary of state were regrettable and that the demands from the united states regarding north korea surrendering its nuclear weapons program are very concerning. now, the secretary of state said that he had productive meetings, that they were making progress. he sai

if you listen to 1996, pat buchanan's convention speech, a lot of the positions that donald trump holds in that speech. he's not that much of an outliar. his personality is particular. but in terms of the ideas, they've been hovering around the margins of american politics for a long time. they've just now -- they're now sitting in the white house. >> the one thing we know about president trump is that he is all about optics. he loves surrounding himself with the best people. and he is the arbiter of who is the best. so if you're having this pageant in moscow, you want to be seen with the president, the russian president because that's who he thinks will make him look good in that moment, or look good to other folks. it's all about the appearance and the performance with him. i think that's what we saw when he was in hielsinki. those loyal to president trump said he corrected himself. doing it on u.s. soil is totally different than saying it in helsinki. >> listen to this latest op-ed, his talk, maybe donald trump's been a mole for a long time, for decades, maybe he is working as a russ
