Well, the President has made a 23 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: decision about offshore drilling off the Atlantic coast that was 24 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 1: due out today and the question was would he allow 25 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,759 Speaker 1: additional drilling leases off the coast of Virginia. He says no, 26 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: he is going to bar Atlantic coast oil drilling. That's 27 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: a reversal of earlier policies. However, time it's not clear 28 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 1: exactly what impact that will have, given that we have 29 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 1: more oil than we want right now. Anyway, Yeah, well, 30 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 1: it's it's it's a debate and it's out there. I guess. 31 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 1: It's an active president, very high in the ratings and 32 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: as well. It's always good to have e j. Deone 33 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 1: with us, of course, always writing up in the Washington Post. 34 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 1: But he has trotted out a new book which he 35 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 1: is perfectly timed the collapse of the Republican Party. Why 36 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,919 Speaker 1: the Right Went Wrong? Uh, e J Deone on conservatism 37 00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,919 Speaker 1: and really a most interesting historical view of the path 38 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 1: of the right. Always through the prism of Mr dion 39 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: E j Um. I love the phrase Goldwater is um, 40 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 1: which so much gets to the morphing of a U 41 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 1: H two oh into where we are as we go 42 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 1: to Florida and Ohio, this evening defined for us modern 43 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 1: day Goldwater is um. I love that phrase. Well Goldwater Um, 44 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: we remember him as a person, and he was a 45 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 1: very warm, agreeable, uh person. He was, you know, candid 46 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: and principle. So none of this is about gold Water 47 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: the guy, and later in life he actually became more 48 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: moderate himself. But to go back to the original Goldwater 49 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: campaign in nine and the promises he made, um, these 50 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 1: were all basically tea party sort of promises, will roll 51 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:54,080 Speaker 1: back government on every front. Uh. You know, he said, 52 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 1: I don't mean to reform government because I intend to 53 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: cut it. Uh. And that's where a large part of 54 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 1: the Republican Party has moved. Um. I say if I 55 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: thank you so much for what you said about the book. Um. 56 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 1: I was very gratified by a review I just got 57 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: from National Review, which is a conservative magazine, disagrees with 58 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: the book, disagrees with me, and yet it argued the 59 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 1: review by a guy called a scholar called. Henry Olsen 60 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 1: argued that conservatives do have to come to terms of 61 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: my argument that if they carry goldwater Ism on indefinitely, 62 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: they will have a real problem because Goldwaterism doesn't speak 63 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: It was an anemology that came out of nine. It 64 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 1: doesn't speak to what the party needs to do. Now. 65 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: In your ute, you used to be with al Hunt 66 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 1: in the smoke filled rooms at these conventions. Can you 67 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: fathom what Cleveland will be this summer? Smoke filled or not? Right, 68 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: there'll be smoke free, smoke filled rooms. How do you 69 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,839 Speaker 1: how do you get your head around that? Um, it's 70 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: it's almost impossible to fathom. We haven't had anything like 71 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: this really since the fifties and in some ways since earlier. 72 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: Other than that, because and it tells you something about 73 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: the nature of the Trump candidacy. Normally, a candidate who 74 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 1: built this kind of lead would be embraced by his 75 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 1: party and the people leaders of the party would say, 76 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,599 Speaker 1: all right, let's get out of the way. This guy 77 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:27,359 Speaker 1: has secured the nomination. Let's end this thing. Uh. Instead, 78 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,919 Speaker 1: quite the opposite is happening, and large parts of the 79 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: party are saying, no, let's keep this thing going, to 80 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 1: keep him from getting the delegates. I think the Republicans, 81 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: if things turn out the way they well looked to 82 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: turn out now, which is, Trump ends up with a 83 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: plurality but not a majority of delegates. Um, the party 84 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,479 Speaker 1: faces bad choices either way. They don't put Trump on 85 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 1: the ticket, and you know, they don't nominate Trump, in 86 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: which case you've got a mass rebellion of all the 87 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,599 Speaker 1: people bowl who voted for him. I just somehow can't 88 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: see Trump accepting that lightly. Maybe he'll be gentle about it, 89 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: but I don't think so. Um. Or on the other side, Um, 90 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: they do nominate Trump and face substantial losses because he's 91 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,040 Speaker 1: clearly running well behind Hillary Clinton. He's got a huge 92 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:24,039 Speaker 1: disadvantage among women voters. Uh So it's gonna be very 93 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: tough on the party. Is it over for the Republicans? Um? 94 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: You know, I predicting the death of a major political 95 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: party is always problematic. The Republicans split down the middle 96 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: of nine twelve and actually William Howard Taffrey and third 97 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: Teddy Roosevelt, the dissenting Republican rand second, running as a progressive. 98 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,719 Speaker 1: They recouped after losing the Roosevelt in thirty six Goldwater 99 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,840 Speaker 1: and sixty four loss. Uh So, I don't know if 100 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: it's over. I think that the Republican Party as it 101 00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: now exists maybe over. I don't know, if you were 102 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,919 Speaker 1: lace the Republican Party. I think it's more likely that 103 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: they go through a period of turmoil and become something 104 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: a little different. Ron Forni of the Atlantic Group, you know, 105 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: on Ultra of Mine, he has an interesting piece in 106 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 1: the Atlantic today suggesting that what this campaign has done 107 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: has defined deviancy down to use the old mony hand phrase, 108 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: in such a way that politics may not recover for 109 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 1: a very long time. Um again, I'm sometimes you have 110 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: to hit bot to come up and so, um. I 111 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,159 Speaker 1: think that what we're going to have trouble we're covering 112 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 1: from is not this campaign, although I agree with Ron 113 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:44,600 Speaker 1: that particularly on the Republican side, particularly after that debate 114 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 1: in which we were talking about the size of body parts. 115 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:48,840 Speaker 1: I mean, if you have told me, I think I've 116 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: said this before, that you know a group of presidential 117 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 1: candidates were talking the way they were talking, I would 118 00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 1: have told you it's propaganda by enemies of the United States. Um. 119 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 1: But I think the real question is can we govern 120 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 1: ourselves after this election? UM. And you know, one of 121 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: the problems, one of the reasons there is all this discontent, 122 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: UM is because the Republicans just haven't been able to 123 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 1: or willing to work with President Obama on anything. We've 124 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 1: had this deep divide and I don't know if we're 125 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: going to this election we'll heal that it all. Let's 126 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: come back EJ. Deon with us the book Why the 127 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: Right Went Wrong?
