" Of the new book day of reckoning now. Boris who -- ideology and reader tearing America part of just was came out in you can world for our website how we cart dot com. Pat thanks for being with us here -- the Howie -- show. -- at a hubris hubris of hubris that's one I don't have a -- I don't know how to spell it but I don't it's not a word I use off although I I think I've been accused of it by -- by critics -- a lists. -- percent of them are. Keep in mind if I'm gonna change the title play arrogance for -- I read it okay. I just thought. I'm doing pretty well -- before get talking about the book what I want you to try to handicap the the Republican presidential field right now who's who was the favorite do you think to win the nomination."

" It's Romney regulation I think you're from New Orleans -- he -- New Hampshire and Michigan in the war in South Carolina. And I think seduced or you know. I don't think -- comes back in in its New England Patriots with a note for record. I think that would change the dynamic of the -- I think -- would on the table external mr. huckabee in Ottawa after a can be convenient for the nomination. But it can be speech Romney and Iowa it's not so they Romney a could be worries in New Hampshire."

" huckabee is behind Ron Paul according to a poll terribly."

" It is my point pocket and doesn't beat. Romney but he rises from five or 6% maybe to 14 or 15 a probably get a lot of Christian votes are there. -- come from that's the key question if they come out of omni and you get a victory to McCain and Romney is lost to let -- role. I think then he'd losers and you can't make Iran and I think the big man standing there there even though hasn't won any is probably. Giuliani."

" And that's a comeback kid it's as Bill Clinton would say."

" have to -- with a little to repent or a a a a a a a so pretty and I don't think we're he's going to win New Hampshire I don't picky but when Michigan if Romney got beat twice. The Seattle he's okay it is -- a."

" Is 14 down in New Hampshire and but rock is only 12 the council roar from -- has a bigger lead than Hillary does in New Hampshire."

" But the point is if if if look at that wins Iowa I think the -- New Hampshire holes yeah if people who just -- debate. I think that it could become sort of wide open and whose front third of their McCain."

" Yes McCain and I today McCain is an AT it's they're 342020 believe it's 18 I haven't got it it's 18 or 13 -- Giuliani. -- you know what -- and it's they guess what Fred Thompson's. To who who. That amazing so he's already lost all of his votes to was two huckabee. It -- christmas yeah so Ron Paul he's at eight at RB is it's seven"

" well have to -- can't -- run I don't believe -- I think -- Balkan Rhonda good race I don't."

" He spent the money he spent the tons he's. He's been in more money than anybody except met right now the New Hampshire."

" Well -- you know I would bet he would double what he's got now in New Hampshire although I don't know how well he's going to do an Iowa. I have my doubts that he can win New Hampshire that would really via. A strong run up we're in and verify its five weeks out now yeah -- might try to guess what to Robin Williams on which he's he's really working on Iowa. The key thing is live from new words New Hampshire obviously what is influential one. If he -- New Hampshire I think he went to Michigan and South Carolina and I don't know that Rudy can stop them but I do think it's between Rudy and Ronde. But this reason I don't take any -- I don't think what he's got the legs to go the distance. I appreciation expressed that he doesn't have the money. I don't think he's organized or on the state -- might do well throughout Carolina which you go nationwide and I don't -- desert. I don't think McCain can do it because I don't think the conservatives will go for the --"

" When word immigration pat and I don't don't want to I don't want to hear it but it that's that's what's killed McCain."

" Oh it it certainly did he went out we're all out of an amnesty bill calling just named it where a we're opposed the -- Eddie sank like a -- it's what. He would be on its way to the nomination be good to 61 went out to -- Iowa straw poll took a speeding my command. But energized his organization and based finish respectively at Iowa he's not going to do that now it may drop out of line. And -- could come into New Hampshire I think and when it. But he's he's thought I would go to could come that you can get -- bottle tancredo and I."

" well that would that would be the end of line at Frankfurt for him."

" I think after hurting very badly in New Hampshire viciously traditions that dynamic situation those. Frozen polls now will change very very dramatically of a great believer in the momentum. Theory you know that once you get one win if you get free media is forced 15 billion dollars in those five days."

" What how how how about the fact -- that that you know at some point around the 15 people to stop paying attention it it to everything except christmas right. You've only got about two weeks laughed. And then the minute ramps up again after new year's and the next day is the Iowa caucuses."

" I do think the whole world will be and I want the 26% of the world media will be director occasion Hillary and rock. It which is now a much closer contest any got a Republican contest that everybody knows our look at was decisive last time. And it could be decisive Vista and you're talking about depressants the United States you can go to devoid I don't apparent not upper in my old place they have this summer the summer."

" Michael an illusion follow up all the -- almost out. Registered -- up there."

" I don't listen I just keep they couldn't when -- up there hanging out with us. The idol we we couldn't get -- we couldn't get into a restaurant because it was Valentine's day -- now now we're rapidly to be their for new year's eve I think that's how much they -- that's publicly moved up the primary."

" Well perhaps that's been a place as soon as Iowa and I'll tell you step into the -- culture. There's only five days I think -- so yeah I got fired -- instead of around about it used to get eight gazing after Ireland now they only got market. But I'll tell the whole every reform projects all these reporters and journalists are going to be quiet."

" Hey -- 11 other thing before going to the book what would you do that there's a debate tonight -- and I I. I think -- If Schmidt could have a good performance tonight and you -- somebody whether it's matter Thompson could take of it could put a rocket in -- pocket I think I think that would really -- can be down what would you -- would you tell -- if you aren't you worried you know you -- to Richard Nixon what would you tell. Met to try to do tonight in this debate."

" expect got himself interests that we were Rudy and -- after he watched an economic issue routing it rounding -- he watched nick Romney. And hill right and what I would tell I would -- that would go -- would stir public talked about what I did on taxes have been Massachusetts. Very liberal state and -- governor ought to be did just that and the other and I think question. -- are Romney I would also you know you might have to call inaudible because a lot of guys are going to be try to take down huckabee who looks like -- into the lead in Iowa. And that's stands for them. Chase show so you don't know what competence."

" On the other hand you don't want to be you'll want to be Dick Gephardt to -- and I don't."

" I don't want to check out frankly their debt and about bohemian not nationally -- achieve their purest. You're stand up pretty and probably really get a lot of personal. And they're gonna after each other in the same way that Gephardt being yet."

" Yeah that's Mozilla sort of sort -- Romney wants to hold somebody's coat. Tonight exactly exactly probably want strolled somebody's -- exactly right -- but I don't know if clubs."

" Really cares enough now me displeasure when he gets these were this -- about -- 2% figure in the Paula let me he may just be called up the producers of law and order trying to get his old hat."

" Total Wallis -- what's up up up. -- projected whatever spark plug it up right."

" A video that it -- Wallace at the good response to execute your game in person she -- a good it's. I it anyway okay -- pat Buchanan the title of his new book is day of reckoning how arrogance ideology and reader tearing America apart so away what's the what is the big what's the big problem here I mean you're you're you're going after bush again meet again. Don't you have to give bush credit at least for the two Supreme Court justices."

" Delegate cut -- bush has been actually on each record just sure as we can advocate for Eric -- action mister justice as or better than any threat to our Serbs. Secondly I think you should prepared on value that the bush is accused fundamentally not a burden try to do what's best for the country I think it came about the right idea. -- you got -- wrote a column today that appeared. Which looked and I started profitably look okay -- should look. A bush -- an unintelligent and got energy Scott drives get convictions and beliefs and follow through and got guts. And -- rumsfeld in Canadian politics god given but the best credentials and business politics government army. What happened. And I said that the only explanation of that for the major error. Katrina what Bush's fault in US disengagement mean even it even climb down there walking around very couldn't if you can't it's a pleasure percent to 82 airborne right."

" I don't Blanco was the governor Nagin is the mayor."

" Exactly though will respond to what you get but Russia daughters is after 24 are -- look. We got to incompetence down there too incompetent government or fall apart. Those people up format Ireland are there extra at a quarter cent of the 82 airborne -- get the job done those guys and their 12 hours because these -- can't handle it. -- done that he'd been fine that's what hurting resolve those reporters in air screaming and power. But here's a thing. The blunder wrote the -- The contract converted to this -- neo conservative ideology that Wesley democratize the Middle East. And the whole world interpreted Iowa and Vermont we're in mortal apparel and therefore we're going to march up the Baghdad. I'm going to turn it into a democracy and you know it's going to be a cake walk. And Iran and the other countries going to see now what a success it is they'll overthrow their government Palestinians and Israelis -- sit down. It is all I which bush was converted to. And I got along chapter near you don't true line by line to the speeches. And there they're there won't -- and there are beautifully stated. But -- also think they violate common sense history experienced a lack prudence they're utopian they're --"

" yeah why do you allow -- Condoleezza Rice -- of this an Apple what's dog and pony show. -- that's that's an embarrassment."

" I think Condoleezza Rice has finally realized that. Look at the marker -- revolution they've been preaching that it. She doesn't after wallet presentation -- don't -- I don't want to be instructed again and he -- election intellectual Moslem brotherhood participates and they weren't if he shares of their democracy project and work. So condoleezza -- looked. -- legacy is going to be right. And that is not going well and not like -- legacy of at least these Nobel Peace Prize for being I think the only way that it is due the following. Cheap persuaded the president to go along my guess is these -- somewhat reluctant warrior on this thing. And they think they can put together a deal because upon us as we can over this week and they want their Nobel prize to if they want at least partial current agreement. Like kick up between Sadat in daycare and the the guys at Oslo that I got all got Nobel prizes I think they're all going to."

" You know what the -- the only thing I did this happen. Al Gore has the Nobel prize that's how much that's a wrap we mentioned. About a half a one -- through a."

" I always -- the -- award -- never -- never -- 18774694322 -- question -- give -- have -- the top of the -- day -- And of course we still have the same problems with the illegal aliens path that that we're talking about the they just can illegal alien drunk kill somebody in Boone North Carolina and I use other stories out of North Carolina today. They go to the the the heads of the the local community college system have well ordered the -- all the community colleges in North Carolina to accept illegal aliens. I mean -- that the Democrats and the Republicans that vote in the General Assembly are going -- but it's it's more the saying."

" More as a sport but eventually the -- the college community is very leaders no question about it. Adorned Connecticut Aaron and northstar making sure rescued quarterback. Usually the battle all took control illegal immigration the Democrats as you mentioned that the grassroots. These guys or get more it's their community it's working class folks are -- to. Eric green the -- much Democrat -- poor folks -- if you will Reagan Democrats independents. And working class and and and and middle class Republicans are the ones we most fight against destruction of both parties apparently. But this issue is compete with us the rest of your in my life. And the like this nation. If they don't get our border under control I really believe we're going to lose country because if you don't secure the border of the whole world is going to become an end there. And and quite frankly if you don't get the border fence though now -- it -- it going to be dealt."

" An Ann and Nancy Nancy Pelosi is is trying this is trying to stop Lamar Alexander's writer you know but that's. That that would allow companies to establish English only policies in the workplace I mean how how can that be a winning issue for the Democrats."

" It's not according issue and and the one who indicated it was Kelly it's -- for the driver's licenses rights initiative 70% of New York which is not exactly a a blazing red state. Right were distant and Hillary Rodham Clinton supported him. Cannot predict -- terrible serious predicted little bookmark a pitch he won't change their position or she will not being president. At three weeks later kicking about in sit on the bench driver's licenses in the course and Barack Obama goes and gets himself wrapped around the axle on the yeah."

" Right he had a if it was like Eliot Spitzer had this problem what Joe wrote all of ahead of those of the Senate the Republican it's like so what's firing a -- so to get rid of the guy -- he explodes the nuclear device which is still legal -- in driver's license it's an issue becomes a national issue."

" Exactly but Britain -- round witnessed how would you. Where the presidential election is and you cannot I don't believe you can go to -- presidential election. We have an opposition candidate Carolyn you this just gonna do she's going to give drivers licenses to illegal aliens just like those 19 guys were carrying. It goes planes into those built. I don't think they can get away with this because it's a very simple understandable issue it's like -- you worked up there in that situation yourself. You know you're getting into instate tuition get lower tuition. You broke into the country Mexico you get lower tuition if you come up from the right after your -- right."

" Even even if you're even if your parents -- you know who work full time in Massachusetts and pay the state income tax you still have to pay out of state tuition but some illegal alien comes in in two days later he's gets he's eligible for instate tuition meaning basically no tuition you know Iraq."

" But you know that doesn't -- people understand. And if you don't what Hillary went into that rigmarole that. You know moving out of the shadows -- all this nonsense want to hear it they want to hear you gonna get that driver's license or not. Thank you gotta run our relationship flat out."

" No right now -- you don't hold it giver wolf didn't give a follow up question either. Mr. profiles that -- important partners wraps up why they 774694322 we'll take some calls with pat Buchanan hang on everybody will get the pat it was some tickets and calls here just a moment the title of his new book -- day of -- you can order off from our website at how we cart dot com Howie --"

" 18774694322. Witnesses pat Buchanan the author of the day of reckoning that's his new book again just published. It's put up by Steve Martin's press you -- order right up our website and how we are not and that you're going to be in New Hampshire right."

" Everything in New Hampshire sure and I just talk into -- now we're going to try to get up there some deer but we'll definitely there Monday -- I hope. Because we're going to Iowa or what activity a burst of January and we're going to be enough whatever -- hotels there. And got to be apparent shatner of New Hampshire."

" That's where that's were well obese I don't know where will be exactly we've been we've we've bin and that and that. What -- I think -- big city says will be at the radisson Monday and Tuesday will."

" Yeah that's yeah I know gap that's an easy that's an easy shot down the Boston though. It's it's that well also it will -- there -- path -- don't know what can I say except happy New Year. It but what a a a a a a billiard -- with how we guard pat Buchanan author of day of reckoning go ahead bill."

" Sally thank you missed that you can't multiply in 2002 well thanks very much appreciate it. July actually had two questions that I think equal spelled it -- there. I want it Rudy Giuliani went deeply versed Jane's dog that throws his hat in the ring. And number two -- would elect Hillary in the pot."

" I think if someone ran as a as a conservative pro life -- free trade in -- at the troops out of Iraq defend the borders. And I think it would defeat -- why -- put my name only on a ballot one -- these NBC Wall Street Journal polls just it for a pro life conservative with. With Rudy and Hillary and air yeah before they put me and Rudy and Hillary were dead even and if they put my name and air. It got 12 points and they've mostly came from we're because it was 4243 35 so but I do not believe that's going to."

" Happen -- what happens if you put Bloomberg though don't let me -- I got."

" Have -- 12 and and that didn't but didn't affected that boldly for British standpoint. So another look pretty be heard much more by a conservative pro lifer and."

" The race and Hillary would be hurt by Bloomberg -- where there are -- she did are you get you know and well that's open courses Bloomberg one advantage you wouldn't have yet I hit about five billion."

" Some question exactly and you won't think Bloomberg -- probably even though he's he's in any state liberal in paradise database available Geiger -- Can't smoke in the bars all that stuff."

" Kids on the beaches anymore that is going to concerts are -- kids a lot of milk crate in the hot seat on the U I want burger include -- I thought it was going to cut up a yes it is really too much but it got a bit about a billion dollar you can read a partner with the thought that our -- call bill rob your next with how we card pat Buchanan go ahead rob."

" It's it's a thrill to few well thank you very much. The comment to the question would but here in the -- they'd just the dark about the yes security in the southern border that just cracked an illegal smuggling ring appear Vermont come across your hundred and pat Leahy just a while it -- that -- want to make legal status of the farm workers appeared to illegal -- equipment here and it being -- you know my question view it do you think it's going to be. Part of the picture book is that -- Kathleen Willey target that was --"

" A a a a there was little area there is enough technical hurdle rather go to the back to destroy a a a a a bought just locked up the killer."

" The other is still there rob I'm going to tell you how to get the."

" I don't know some powerbook seriously Barnes and noble I got a paper put it into distortion last weekend you can get -- Amazon.com. And I'm sure borders nearly as a -- go to most of they they treated me very local bookstores different state of emergency you know restrict air.

I want to know achievement the American people -- matter what happens all these double steal a big business and and all the different political parties. I get all -- double both the presidential elections I hope gets renewed. But that always seems to go down to make in the back to a deal with big business and American people get screwed once again anyway you'd think. -- talk radio. And people like -- and and result he could actually get behind different parties that we're we're we're not present"

" the people they can can yeah you can answer that better than decent -- of a more intimate knowledge and third parties."

" Well well we tried it we could very well earlier on enemy we're running pretty well in double digit. -- that's what was due early in the candidate we got in -- a party or global balance. And did you do well earlier on in the focus issue that the territory graced with. With bush gore and also want to have folks who make up except that you know we get rid of -- of the Clinton and only Republicans can do that. And into -- are hard core voters say 30 to 35% what you know of the vote will go to each of the parties regardless -- water and -- We really lost badly and and bush on. They still get 3537% of the vote if we're strong third party candidates you can get all the rest into etiquette on the ballot. And it's virtually impossible task in the two parties control the presidential debates and they keep in particular where Ross Perot.
