Cspan nearly 40 times and over the next five hourswere going to share some of those programs with you. First up tonight in 1993, Mister Buckley sat down to discuss a collection of his essays from his book happy days are here again. Here he is on cspans Interview Program from 1993, book notes. On the cover of your new book it says reflections of a libertarian journalist. Do you always call yourself a libertarian western mark. Off and on. As i of course do, its something called the movement was encouraged by me in National Review during the late 50s and the idea was to put out to the straight libertarians and conservatives how much they had in common and how effective this symbiosis would be between them. So from time to time i stressed the fact that every now and then that im a libertarian and in most of what i write theres a certain amount of it that is does not augment or diminish human liberty. Did i remember you saying maybe when you ran for mayor of new york that this may not be yo
People of african descent mosthere, is one of the compelling and longstanding aspects of africanamerican culture and history. That is something that has disappeared or overlooked. I think there are moments in history when it is up and down. Need to reconfigure because the vast globalization of communications and travel that we are now living through. Travel, alld black i know from tate and there are people doing much broader , doing very important work on the role of travel in the lives of black people who are going as tourists, which becomes much more possible in this period and the way which travel themes really essential to way africanamericans think about themselves and their relationship to the world. A tremendous amount of work needed to be done on that. Greatk there has been a deal of attention to music and other forms that have traveled certainly down more on the electronic age. We also need to Pay Attention to the naacp and people doing work in International Studies and diplom
Holocaust as a cultural category, nevertheless was a soldier on behalf of the distressed. Were bringing mikes, so, and if youll let me know what my time frame is. This may be too narrow a question, but ill ask it anyway. So, i saw on cspan a while back interviews with bernard ferrenz, who was with the army and worked with Holocaust Survivors getting restitution. I wondered if you were familiar with his work and if that was connected at all with the congressman . No, i didnt see that. Its fascinating. Fascinating. I know the harrison report alone. Okay. Maybe you could tell me what fascinating. He has his own story, jewish background, and very unhappy being a private in the army when he was an attorney and all those and really singlehandedly, there was one other individual in the army who when they went into the camps tried to maintain all of the documentation so that they could pursue. And he followed up at nuremberg. Very, very interesting interviews. Documentation was key. I should h
Where please to have them joining us. Tell me where Hillary Clinton stands today in New Hampshire and what she can do to change that dynamic . That is whereks she is, 30 behind but she is. Iowa has gotten worse for her and she has to do three things at once. On has to stop sanders antenna. She needs to have a Closing Argument that has a positive and negative message. Her husband was here, best i have seen in a long time. T was very strong she is in trouble in these two states and as we have discussed before if she loses either numerically or in terms of perception, iowa and New Hampshire, there is not a political analyst who can tell you just how hard that will be for her Going Forward but it will be hard. Charlie that seems to go against what i have read that she has built a firewall in the south starting with south carolina. The static analysis. She is stronger right now today with africanamerican voters and hispanic voters by far than Bernie Sanders. As we learned in 2008 1 barack o
Fundamentally not change the underlying operation of the program in the house and the senate. Republicans and democrats in the judiciary committees are just in a different place. And so the congress is split, i think, on these two. Last night president obama said to Chris Matthews that, you know, hes planning to make changes. He didnt specify what they were, and as you know, this group at the white house is working on thinking through what those changes might be. Do you have any sense, any predictions about what is likely able to happen, what is politically able to fly on the hill . I think this is an open question as to what the review group will recommend and what who is in the review group in. A variety of individuals appointed by president obama. I think the two most recognizable figures are Michael Morrell who now works for you. Who now works at the firm i am at and working at, and Richard Clark who was the counterterrorism adviser for clinton and for bush. And they and along with
