00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,240
If you'd like to read what 
William F Buckley's proposal was

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:09,480
for what the Republican Party 
should embrace, he authored a 

3
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:14,320
article titled The Party and the
Deep Blue Sea. 

4
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:18,160
This would have been in the 
1950s, where he gave some very 

5
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:21,240
kind advice. 
This means that we have got to 

6
00:00:21,240 --> 00:00:24,400
accept big government for the 
duration, for neither an 

7
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:27,360
offensive nor a defensive war 
can be waged given our present 

8
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,880
government skills, except 
through the instrument of a 

9
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:34,040
totalitarian bureaucracy within 
our shores. 

10
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,320
The question is raised, does it 
make a great deal of difference 

11
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,800
if we lose our freedom to a 
Georgian bandit or a Missouri 

12
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:45,640
ignoramus? 
So this explains why no 

13
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:51,600
president has made net spending 
cuts since Dwight D Eisenhower, 

14
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:55,280
why the regulatory apparatus 
continues to grow even under 

15
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:59,240
Bush, even under Trump, even 
under Reagan, even under Nixon. 

16
00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:04,120
It's because these people at 
National Review completely Co 

17
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:05,440
opted the old right.
