Discussion of colin dueck, age of iron. Which is a marvelous analysis of conservative nationalism. I see a couple of things about the book in the moment but before i do i want to extend on your behalf in mine a warm welcome to colin dueck and to distinguish commentators. As you probably know colin dueck is a professor at george mason esiversity and is also a nonresident fellow at the American Enterprise institute next door. Literally. Colin dueck has made his mark thinking deeply about american politics. And this book is trademark direct. It examines the concept of conservative nationalism that has been brought to public attention conspicuously to the rise of President Trump. In terms of both the history of ideas and how these ideas have found manifestation in the history. Especially in the debates in the world. So the book is both encompassing and granular simultaneously. And despite the gravity of the subject, i assure you its a delightful read. I read the book over the last ten and

Investigations were important to President Trump. We did not discuss any classified information. Other witnesses have recently shared their recollection of overhearing this call. For the most part, i have no reason to doubt their accounts. Its true that the president speaks loudly at times and its also true, i think we primarily discussed asap rocky. Its true that the president likes to use colorful language. Anyone who has met with him at any reasonable amount of time knows this. While i cannot remember the precise details, again, the white house has not allowed me to see any readouts of that call and the july 26th call did not strike me as significant at the time. Actually, actually, i would have been more surprised if President Trump had not mentioned investigations. Particularly, given what we were hearing from mr. Giuliani about the president s concerns. However, i have no recollection of discussing Vice President biden or his son on that call or after the call ended. I know that
