-- it is.

It's been an amazing story.

Why were you what did MSNBC.

-- you were the reasons they refinery.

Hello I think in my book came out on our term -- -- suicide of a superpower pretty much from there on.

I was asked to stay off MS NB -- Which -- dead and I thought in January probably should -- ran a New Hampshire and Iowa and South Carolina and did fairly well.

That I would be back for that and I was told no and so I assume my career after ten years and MS NB -- What's over.

And I think what happened that book huge -- there.

Is the book that got Pat Buchanan blacklisted.

From and indeed by the black clusters out there who eventually I think you got to -- they did succeed.

-- principally amongst the black blisters led that effort.

I think -- media matters a group I never really heard much about color of change.

The human rights commissioner count there were general -- -- group right now the homosexual group.

-- AL Abe foxman has been on my case you're about twenty -- years.

And there are a number -- daily costs I think -- -- hundred.

And they all simply piled on you know send petitions sent letters and -- I don't know his weight that you and I both.

Now this is a matter of -- of leadership.

All MSNBC's.

Brian Roberts.

His father.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- let me say this you and I worked for a man Ted Turner.

Who got the same kinda hits about Pat Buchanan and Tom Braden and others.

And he would say thanks ever -- you now please leave my office -- busy.

However I guess I've been under fire for so many years and so many attempts I think it was just decided.

That they had had enough of it but in any event look I don't wanna be critical are tough on MSNBC I had ten good years.

Why should you believe why should you be they just fired -- silence -- Why should you be tough on them pat.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- You're sitting here saying that that you know that they were you know basically rolled over to interest stirred to silence an important conservative voice and you don't wanna be hard on them.

I have MI reading this MI reading books written by the same Pat Buchanan up I think listening to the same -- Commentary.

-- -- -- -- Pat Buchanan has a lot of friends in front of the camera over there and back -- the camera over there.

It well mr.

Griffin did fire -- he was the one that her did sever my at my relationship.

He wasn't -- also that we're all out to get me on that network when I basically.

After the reform party campaign I didn't wanna go back into television full -- right and it got joined -- so what I say is look.

-- -- it went over the -- -- the laid out the situation.

And show up by let folks make their own judgment you know I'm not an angry and -- -- about what happened to that's -- we're over here we report they decided.

Up -- late today and it.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- B even more aggressive and vocal in the public arena.

Well you know it's look at again and I enjoy that the the ten years but quite clearly now you can speak out -- a lot more subject my former network is.

Very heavily focused on public experts say -- we know what they're focused on there you know.

Very word and -- focused -- we gonna affect you know.

I've got a syndicated column my right I'm gonna go on other shows like the great Lou Dobbs show I was on Charlie Rose this morning I want to talk about my book more.

I wanna talk about those ideas because I think really but the book says -- basically the United States is on course.

A course of decline as a world power to superpower.

And our country is disintegrating and breaking up.

Along racial ethnic religious lines but Charles Murray mentioned it's along class lines now.

I think Americans have got a wake up to what is happening to their country I don't even know for -- reversal look reversible.

But I will say this.

She is her personal -- product that is -- where we're gonna do that commentary thing that's fine.

But when you say -- -- -- -- is reversible as Americans.

We can say to one another with our confidence.

We can overcome adversity period.

We don't we don't want anybody you don't wanna hang out to close of that White House down there that there's certainly -- like a diminished American dream there.

All right let me ask you rescue -- we know what made -- one nation and one people out of all those people that came out of central southern eastern and Western Europe.

It was a great melting pot our culture our civilization.

Our traditions history here heroes literature.

That melting pot has been rejected.

At the same time we're bringing in folks from every religion and -- -- I want our let's let's fix it.

Let's bring everybody together let's cut that nonsense.

Let's -- you early autumn a purpose you know nobody's -- fresher than on this right.

But there are people that don't believe in that ebit support cabinet that's okay we are -- and culture it's the beginning of a little.

I'm it's -- forgetting about the -- -- It's not a discussion and -- there -- more dominant in this culture -- -- and that's what they look.

-- -- -- -- I don't -- yeah and told everybody about Apollo ten years ago ten years ago called death in the west -- everything in there at the trends have continued there's not a single European country.

With a burst rate double enable it to stay alive.

Through this century and we -- no trouble running this country.

I mean if there -- a lot of dollar figure archived data reaper -- Then they've got you know there's a whole new set of problems but we're gonna get real talk about those problems later -- -- I'm in real trouble one time.

I and I appreciate you being with -- good to see a very much -- -- -- --
