Pat Buchanan discusses the state of politics

We're joined by I beat him and now he's not at the convention he has he's -- will well are you path. Or on the Delaware shore -- spin you up and work out. Maybe you can confirm something for me that I heard from Joseph Biden he says that. If you wanna go into a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin' Donuts in Delaware you you have to have an Indian accent. I think that's exactly right at the India Bangladesh. Are. And a lot of -- definitely but of course that's not a racial slur when he says that because. Democrat right it's that you're -- forget the -- obviously. We've got to understand yeah. Yeah really have not mentioned in your introduction. You can listen to my home network a lot. Well we don't. That we don't what we do is we go to we we rely on other people like the you know media research senator news busters -- -- to -- to tell us what happened I mean. I was to look told the story of the night when it to a nice restaurant it had enough you in Brookline the home of -- -- -- pockets you -- recall him. And it's it's a very it to we called the people's republic of Brookline and I walked into the bar and for the first time ever I saw on TV screen and -- far MSNBC. I almost just turned around a walk back out of place. But it was they -- good food they have good food. When you're gonna lighten up and I go back on what -- is there's no -- 12100 beacon street motel. Yeah it's still there yeah it's there and I wish they did -- this summer I think in 1915 and nineteen and nineteen -- -- 61. Hold it and how well other companies as an auditor. I didn't know this is an old newspaper guy all the way through. -- I had a great job with that I captivated as well I was hired by a firm name counselor Buchanan and Mitchell. Nobody out all the wars and you know yeah. We -- we call those nationwide searches in Massachusetts. But -- But I enjoyed it up there a couple of hundred Bibby Joseph what's your impression -- I have to tell you. No that's kind of who's kind of a nasty here you like you didn't run into getting Jo-Jo. -- Mosley he was run don't walk back but they look Revere beach. But anyway what's pad so light you know so I'm sorry you're -- down here it's not the most exciting convention in the world but you know there's there's a lot going on here what what are what are your thoughts here in the -- I remember sitting with Hewitt 2000 and you were saying. It's really going to be hard for Republican to win from here on out you know the the demographics have changed and -- get the Republicans won and 20012004. You think you think the Republicans got a chance this year. I think you've got a good chance Alley. I think what I that is still true about talking about the second. But I think they've got a good chance but I I think -- and now. And Ryan never gonna draw to an inside straight they got to get back up North Carolina Virginia Florida and Ohio. They've got Indiana I think and I got to pick up one more my Colorado. And I think give all Obama has got to do for example if I think when Florida and it's all over for the Republicans. Republicans -- down to where. I mean with apparently pretty good campaign they just get a -- if you -- -- today that the demography is. The demography is fatal for the GOP gone through to the end of this decade. Auto -- I hope you're wrong path you know I mean there's say you know public the public just the fact that you know we'll get a -- on -- about the fact that 47% of people getting government checks. Mean and. No well that's that's right if you get -- get half the people in the country Ali back 49 point five I think. That work I don't pay any federal income taxes. And accompanied -- to have if you pointed out that federal checks. Right now it's a tortured joining you're getting federal judge you pay no income taxes. Why would you vote for authority whose main theme is it's gonna cut taxes you don't pay but it got to cut the benefits if you do receive. So you've got an enormous constituency. That's basically a hard rock against -- party. But all in all -- folks this panic folks in the country either -- few million now only that you made in nineteen kept getting a 52 million -- Our president can do really well let's take Georgia. Georgia HR Georgia George W. Bush. He got 40% McCain got 31%. And you get up 31 to 40% of the fastest growing population of the country. I didn't think I McGovern margins that entire. Population to have such grown and grown and grown and eventually had to overcome your constituency. About how about the fact you know you have -- up Barack Obama became president you have three point six million people have gone on to disability. Meanwhile I play I wonder what how they're gonna vote this year. SSI SSBI has exploded I mean there's a there's another welfare constituency. That though Obama has basically created or you certainly. It exploded the numbers. You know -- mr. the -- 1964. Food stamps didn't exist when I was brought up and he should. We had a 100000 people none of them want food stamps in the 1950s or even in the 1930s which -- -- really rough. Now they're one and every five people in Washington DC under -- 600000 uttered twice that's -- that you could have. 47000000040. Million in the United States draw encouragement. -- a program 7880. Billion dollars and I just one program. And you take all of the programs put them together education medication. You know enough housing and all the rest of it. And earned income tax credit you know millions -- checks going but there. And by the Republicans gonna do -- -- -- you know chocolate black. Lot of folks can -- and watch -- vote for the. 1877469432218774694322. NC if it's really -- What would you tell why would you tell Mitt Romney to say if you were -- used to write speeches for room Richard Nixon know what would you tell him to say -- tomorrow night error Thursday night. When he makes his speech the nation's. -- culture war. But. All the way I didn't work out too well -- -- 92 -- -- call. What they're very well I'm kind of -- and worked out well before overcoming had no idea what I would tell him. I would say that -- the country -- -- and you're right about this country has written. Q what Obama -- And put somebody -- in -- maybe negotiation that Obama has not succeeded we tried we give him a lot of time. It didn't work and we're ready for something new. What it has not decided is. Is this the guy and that's why I all of Obama's effort and -- and we assaults. Our own Romney is submitting diet Romney that charge. You know he's at Richmond and candidate even know what your life it's like he's up there ripping off people he's got all the money in the crazy accounts. And they've got to make -- unacceptable. -- here's what you do if I would go up there and I would give states having given a strong. Principled speech about it we are in trouble. And I think I can lead us out of it and here I think the idea I'm gonna lead us out of it. But what you have to protect it the same time is do what Reagan finally succeeded in doing that in that debate with Carter. Where people said it wouldn't matter. I hear about don't get out of being a crazy extremists and wrote -- Josh I'm like my downfall. -- a very nice Barack itself once Reagan got over that. The country broke. I think -- there's a possibility when pitching -- Obama should not it's 46%. Things. That's means he's been more than half the country it says we're ready to get rid of them. And that means that the undecideds should go for Romney if he makes the sale. And it -- that you can make the sale well. The reason I don't like I don't want to I would like to one office in this fire like you understand that right. Well I mean you know -- better not a cameo from mopping it up there you know I look at him how he and I don't know him well how much mr. knows him pretty well. But I'm not getting and I -- comes off made. As a nice job yeah yeah it's a nice terribly in touch with the way we grew up. The -- been nice guy who's earnestly strive as bad to very confident. You know it doesn't have what it does appear to have great you know rapport with the average -- but it's unclear if you're talking about -- done for the country. I mean I think a lot of people would say you know I don't know about a person counted but I think this guy can run this country better -- -- because you can. Right it will you know we've put it this way he never went to Revere -- like -- -- -- -- -- -- -- you know. -- back but what does that what does that that you're right that doesn't matter vote you know he's never had a beer okay what does it matter if he's never smoked cigarettes forget about it key players. You don't know what it. Probably hit that probably the kind of guy that you when he got -- from extraordinary remedy in trouble. If mother would try it why can't you be like yeah. Is there a problem with this you know I'm very. There's -- -- -- in -- possession I don't have a problem that's what a lot of folks human and what Obama is trying to do -- exaggerate. This is peccadillos if you will has -- waiting to get picked out characteristics. To make him unacceptable. And they're -- them -- had a pretty good job market with Rick and he was really down there in the early punch we ought to look at equipment. -- on the ticket suspended him yeah and but the old men -- religion he got up that Japan. And it came off -- you know it genuinely nice likable principled guy whose beliefs we're basically in conformity. What most of America believe in the nation that we don't just get confident more to stand -- okay let's give him a shot. -- let's play some phone calls -- you -- appreciate you being on with us and the right which we saw your sister a couple of day it like yesterday as a matter of fact that. Josh your next with how we Kerr and Pat Buchanan go ahead Josh. Or considering that the Republican platform on abortion does not allow their -- parade parade. Do you think that that's -- they were considered Mitt Romney to be a great literally there at stake in the in the back. It's the popular and I Josh with the depth the -- thing that they can made a colossal gaffe. I mean you can't legitimate ready pitched just concerted. And I nobody management in the case of actual race if the pregnancy occurs in fairly rare yeah it -- -- mr. Obama well formulation did you know I. And you know I understand the anguish and outrage protect it could cost -- facility and -- can't lose any more spiritual. In each stage of his -- I do believe and one thing that was I don't think the Republicans and it just their hysterical pollen on the guys get out. I don't think they handled this well. And almost -- and bill. Had a -- I mean he won the primary he's the candidate I mean if you hit it the guy is so mule headed that he won't get out of the -- he would always gonna lose it IE and I think. -- Karl Rove said he's gonna lose it by a record margin of you what what can you don't. What I would do is I would I would take a look at the polls because -- the September 26. Yeah and I would stop found him on the guy. And I would go to talk to Mike Huckabee who's close to him in the research council does. Perkins and and and Connie -- is one of my people down there. And I would say look you know you're struck by your guy. But you and I we you know we don't want on the ground replacing it with a -- -- we want to win this series but that Mohammed and we want to win match and it seemed. So we wanna talk to you about talking him out of the race by September 1 this -- or September camp this guy is not recovered. Would you join us and we'll go see it. And we'll talk you out of this thing and how you don't get out here in the public and Paula diluted took an idiot. And I just get just back up its people get them back up. And and it's not the way to handle that and then you read it if you look at September. And the fifteenth what stands you know lunatic on and as far behind it it appears. And and I negotiated and talked about you know -- that would draw and change for. Is this guy and his right Josh. Pat easily a -- that from from Vermont and it you could see enemies he's got the typical move back -- Party line now which is forget -- -- -- Not running again you know -- them running no one none of these Democrats are running against Mitt Romney your horse. Owner Alan alum blustery at that and against credit he can. It's his the other. He's the panel Republicans. He's the one they're all running against right I mean look at look at your old network. Today it's all talk at all. Todd -- Big reach into the -- -- community. I do -- as much after that don't report that took -- don't talk like yet. Q percent of our supporters -- -- -- I thought. Billiards with how we -- you the go ahead bill. I don't know art here and it I thought -- -- who -- the electric -- and leaving gambling -- lottery. But I am there are also draw a disability check in the wind. And I am -- morning -- in Ryan because I understand one thing about Barack Obama. This is art Harris get operate you know I mean I -- -- awakened at two or three whatever I can't wait. Thinking about this guy if the guy gets -- second term if what's gonna happen. He's get 32. Are reported I'm a cowboy who -- -- -- but what do what would you want -- what do you have a question for us. Okay let's get taken out of there probably do about a it would look story and I always just -- -- we got that we just have to wait yes it just complaints articulated it. In the way I just had -- Look if we just got to back up now. -- get his friends to go to a -- talked to your friends and Huckabee stick with him and the family research council. And then you've talked to them and held by September 10 of its -- there which we can't. That happened what happened to -- in Delaware last time or Nevada. Because just report the presence here on the line countries normalized. And talked to in that and and frankly if he's down and I think. You know after trying these guys have to keep the light and I think it is -- -- here can point to -- -- -- I think and I think -- -- No money coming in all the money's been cut off. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- At least he claims that he's getting he got like 300001. Day recently but I mean why would. Why would Christians or money I mean why would these warnings about what should it. Stupid you said. As they can have got in trouble and everybody accountable and diminishes its its its a product of a good spirit which is. Our friends in trouble he fouled up but what are friends war. And kind of trouble we help. Now that's a natural reaction of people don't kind of my. Initial reaction when I saw but it just screaming and Allen and pounding on the giant -- pressuring the government horrible traffic. You know they threw an interception. In the fourth quarter of the Super Bowl. -- no but it looked -- security just pound guy. Yeah it -- the thing is it's a self inflicted wound on meet anybody at all -- he. It wasn't a setup question it was a legit question. It's a legit question and handled it terribly and looked in there is that Democrats know what they're -- on a so I think today on TV some of the senate Democrats. But a million and a half bucks to import. Yeah yeah they -- they must've known that this guy was a time bomb. I don't know I don't know that face of face for the call bill professor George your next with a Pat Buchanan and how we -- go ahead professor George. They you know. Al-Qaeda -- great America and I agree with you don't know everything. I. I don't I don't it's -- that they know about the future of the Republican Party I heard yeah. Our new poll out we likely voters people. You are part of the federal government leave you alone -- -- -- -- The board this report -- -- -- them. Out there the security of the country. I think we got the interpreted that number the liberals. What they want it in that's been the usual figure. But I will -- you mean with how I've been talking about it. You take a look at that altering democracy take a look at the increased number of people you get up close to half. A receiving checks and I have not been any federal taxes. They have a vested interest. And not have -- their benefits cut and don't get a benefit cut income taxes. Sure I mean they can't -- in and Republicans are responsible for a lot of these. Reforms which it dropped all these people off the role if you had a flat tracks. Across the board. And everybody understand attack. Tax tax cut benefits everybody. So but I think some of these things are turning against the GOP. -- -- in the long term I'm profoundly impressed -- and see how I just don't have the Financial Times today it didn't get Iraq. It's like he's taken us to operate out of my book. Under chapter you know the white -- yup if you don't know that 90% of all Republican vote should presidential elections. Our white folks and 90% of all Republican vote for Christian votes in both of those groups are diminishing. Christians are down. And 85% -- 5% of the population. And what Americans are about 90% 1960 -- down to 64%. And therefore when toward 50% by 2040. And I don't know and mushy expanded these communities many of which which the potential benefits. I don't know how he would have.
