"national review" -- rusher agreed with all that, but the greater affinity with buckley can be seen in buckley and his brother's 1954 book mccarthy and his enemies in which they say mccarty has been a little too rough, made some errors of judgment, but that cause is really important and he is being treated unfairly. that is exactly where rusher is in the years when he turns from generic young republican republicanism to hard movement conservatism. there was a bit of a conservative movement before buckley founded "national review" in 1955 but it was disorganized, the polite term might be a entrepreneur real, individualistic. whitaker chambers had another way of describing it, like people popping out like rabbits, never knew where they were coming from or where they were going. you might see this today now and then. rusher is thrilled to hear there is going to be a conservative weekly magazine. when he hears about national review being in the works in 1955 he becomes a charter subscriber even bef

he has the national media on his side. are no watchdogs or countervailing influence is because of the republican party basically acquiescing. >> sadly the republicans are not presenting a real opposition, but i think what he was trying to say was that you can preserve second amendment rights to lead to some restrictions on illegal guns, and at the same time, take some steps by executive order without countervailing the separation of powers of the constitution. lou: listen to some of the nonsense. maryland's governor calling to fingerprint gun owners, alighting victims to sue gun makers. as the retailers to stop sales. the new york state has a tentative deal. this is such -- none of these, not a single one of these steps would have changed the outcome. >> equally as important when democrats controlled the congress the first two years, there would not pass any kind of lost. the eight kate 47 got democrats basically voted for it.
