00:00:57.620 The very simple, just common sense things that used to be just kind of cultural norms,
00:01:04.560 like maybe we don't, aren't riots and violence in our cities.
00:01:07.660 And it's like, well, it's a little more complicated than that.
00:01:10.180 It's like, no, actually it's not.
00:01:12.200 And instead of just like talking around these issues and, you know,
00:01:17.360 why these violent acts are happening and, you know, kind of origin stories and things.
00:01:23.220 No more.
00:01:23.760 No, we're not doing that anymore.
00:01:25.500 Enough.
00:01:25.980 No more.
00:01:26.720 Hey everyone.
00:01:27.220 This is Tate Brown here, holding it down for Tim Pool.
00:01:29.940 We have an interview here with Riley Moore.
00:01:31.860 About halfway through, we had some technical difficulties,
00:01:33.680 but we got it stitched together for you.
00:01:35.080 So enjoy.
00:01:36.340 Rep Moore urges Trump to present Presidential Medal of Freedom to Pat Buchanan.
00:01:41.520 Here's a direct quote from him.
00:01:42.920 For more than half of a century, Mr. Buchanan stood boldly for the American worker,
00:01:48.600 the American family, and the American nation at times when it was neither popular
00:01:51.960 nor politically expedient.
00:01:53.280 That's the end of the quote.
00:01:54.400 Moore wrote in his letter, his clear-eyed warnings about porous borders,
00:01:57.980 deindustrialization, foreign tangments, and the decline of traditional values were once
00:02:01.620 dismissed by elites, but have been proven exactly right.
00:02:05.340 And that is true.
00:02:06.320 Riley Moore, obviously, this is fantastic from him.
00:02:09.500 And we love to see it.
00:02:13.860 And so, yeah, we're going to ask him about his letter urging Trump to honor Pat Buchanan.
00:02:20.700 Let's see if we can get him in here.
00:02:22.860 Hi, Congressman.
00:02:23.540 Can you hear me?
00:02:24.660 Yeah, I can hear you.
00:02:25.600 How are we doing today?
00:02:27.040 Good.
00:02:27.480 How are you?
00:02:28.120 Doing all right.
00:02:28.700 I'm sure most of the viewers are quite familiar with you.
00:02:31.080 Maybe you could just give a quick intro for those who aren't.
00:02:33.500 Yeah, sure.
00:02:35.720 Hey, I'm Riley Moore, Congressman, 2nd Congressional District, out in the great state of West Virginia.
00:02:43.340 Actually, not too far from the studio, typically.
00:02:47.040 But, yeah, you've probably seen me on IRL quite a bit.
00:02:53.040 I haven't been on in a little while.
00:02:54.920 Also, world famous for my kickflip on the flat bank.
00:02:59.860 There we go.
00:03:01.140 I love it.
00:03:01.820 That's good stuff.
00:03:02.780 Well, I mean, obviously, we have a lot to get into.
00:03:04.740 At first, I just wanted to start.
00:03:05.700 I mean, I'm sure you've saw the news.
00:03:06.920 I saw your statement on it with the situation in Minneapolis.
00:03:09.980 I wonder if you just had any sort of general thoughts on the shooting.
00:03:15.680 Yeah, I mean, it's an absolute tragedy.
00:03:18.260 I mean, and it's heartbreaking.
00:03:19.660 You know, I don't like to say where my kids go to school, but they do go to a Catholic school, and they do go to mass in the same manner.
00:03:29.180 They go walk down the street.
00:03:33.900 We've seen Christian institutions in this country consistently under attack, and we're going to find out who this is. 1.00
00:03:43.420 I'm not going to sit here and guess who it is, but it's more about, I think, an attack on just the culture of this country and trying to just rip it apart, it feels like, at least to me.
00:03:58.400 And so certainly it feels, you know, I can feel this pretty viscerally, given that I have kids and where they go to school.
00:04:07.200 So it's just absolute tragedy.
00:04:09.460 It's heartbreaking.
00:04:10.320 Absolutely heartbreaking.
00:04:11.400 And we were killed and sitting in their pews.
00:04:20.040 Right.
00:04:20.920 They're the Catholic Church. 0.98
00:04:23.220 Just absolutely evil. 0.95
00:04:25.560 Yeah.
00:04:26.240 No, yeah, it's absolutely horrible.
00:04:27.360 I mean, and it really just hits at this theme where America is just really starting to feel unstable and more violent.
00:04:35.280 And certainly among the Christian community, we're sensing this.
00:04:40.400 I mean, you touched on it.
00:04:41.800 I'm sure you're sensing the same thing as just this country really is starting to feel like there's a lot of people with nothing to lose, and it's starting to feel very unstable.
00:04:52.880 No, that's exactly right.
00:04:54.340 And, you know, flashback to that school that was attacked, if I remember correctly, Nashville, Tennessee, a Christian school that was attacked by some trans terrorist over there that shot it up.
00:05:05.580 Yes, I mean, it's – and now this is happening again.
00:05:11.040 And luckily, though, we do have President Trump in the White House where we can actually have these conversations about what in the hell is going on here and hopefully start to get to the bottom of it and prevent these things from ever happening again.
00:05:24.840 Absolutely.
00:05:25.980 Yeah, I mean, you know, I hate doing the dance because this happens after every shooting where the left and right both propose sort of these surface – obviously, the left just wants to grab guns.
00:05:36.120 You know, we know their playbook.
00:05:37.140 But even on the right, you know, you get this dance.
00:05:38.680 You're like, well, maybe it's the video games.
00:05:39.920 Maybe it's this, that, and the other.
00:05:41.080 But it really feels like whatever solution is just putting kind of a Band-Aid on the situation.
00:05:46.600 It feels like the underlying issue is that you just have a high proportion of this country that just has no – they have a void in their soul, right?
00:05:54.920 They just feel empty inside.
00:05:56.940 And that seems incredibly alarming.
00:05:58.420 I mean, I don't know what sort of direction we need to go in as a country to ensure that we don't have people like this that are, you know, that seem to be everywhere.
00:06:08.460 Well, yeah, and part of that is going to be guided by who is this.
00:06:12.960 Now, we knew who the last one was.
00:06:14.540 It was this trans-terrorist individual. 0.99
00:06:17.880 And look, there's a lot of mental health issues in this country. 0.97
00:06:21.920 And in terms of mental health issues and saying, no, there's nothing wrong with you.
00:06:29.580 Don't worry about it.
00:06:30.920 And then they act out in violent ways.
00:06:35.740 And as you said, look, just have kind of a void and that they're trying to fill or blame on somebody else or some community or some religious institution or what have you, and it's costing people their lives.
00:06:51.000 And so I think part of it is we just need to really be honest about what is going on in this country and who is doing it and how we can actually stop it and not kind of the window dressing of let's not hurt people's feelings about this.
00:07:05.520 Sure, absolutely.
00:07:07.380 I mean, and, you know, it kind of goes with it as the Trump administration does seem to have a little bit of a different view.
00:07:13.240 I mean, I think they're quite aware of how violent this country appears to be getting and how unstable it's been getting, obviously, over the last few decades.
00:07:20.020 Certainly, his approach to D.C. indicates a different sort of mindset when handling these issues.
00:07:26.160 No, absolutely.
00:07:28.860 And I think the way you could kind of encapsulate that is in a very simple phrase of enough is enough.
00:07:34.500 Right.
00:07:34.900 No more.
00:07:35.720 No more.
00:07:36.600 Enough.
00:07:36.960 We've had enough of this.
00:07:39.200 And, you know, people can whine and cry and scream about any of this stuff.
00:07:44.340 Our cities, in particular, our nation's capital, it should be safe.
00:07:48.260 It should be one of the safest cities in the country where people from all over our country and the world, for that matter, can come visit it and say, wow, look at the capital of the United States.
00:07:58.680 Beautiful place, safe, great, you know, but we've let it just run amok ever since we gave home rule to Washington, D.C.
00:08:06.640 and the Democrats have run the place into the ground.
00:08:09.600 And it's one of the most dangerous cities in America right now.
00:08:12.040 And enough.
00:08:13.680 No more.
00:08:15.040 Absolutely.
00:08:15.360 I mean, it kind of I've said this before on the show with with how bad D.C. got is it really did seem like from from the city leadership and also the Democrats at large, the national Democrats, is it was almost this attempt to demoralize, you know, patriotic Americans by by taking their capital and just turning it into a disaster zone.
00:08:36.280 And then, like I touched on earlier, is we already have a population where a large proportion or I feel like their lives are devoid of meaning.
00:08:43.300 I mean, you know, I hate to attribute such grandiose sort of themes to the Trump administration, but it does seem to be like providing a pathway forward.
00:08:51.800 You know, again, you know, it's not articulated the best sometimes, but the general theme just seems like, no, this is we're taking control.
00:08:58.460 Like you said.

00:10:24.900 Enough is enough.
00:10:27.200 Yeah, no, that's exactly right.
00:10:28.740 And the average American, I do believe, supports what President Trump's trying to do.
00:10:34.160 And at least in my district, they do.
00:10:36.580 And it's just like, no more of this.
00:10:39.160 No more.
00:10:39.840 And it's just the very simple, just common sense things that used to be just kind of cultural norms, like maybe we don't want riots and violence in our cities.
00:10:50.040 And it's like, well, it's a little more complicated than that.
00:10:52.560 It's like, no, actually, it's not.
00:10:53.980 You know, so, and instead of just like talking around these issues and, you know, why these violent acts are happening and, you know, kind of origin stories and things, no more.
00:11:06.140 No, we're not doing that anymore.
00:11:07.900 Enough.
00:11:08.480 No more.
00:11:08.860 Yeah, I mean, the conservative movement has put out a lot of paperwork and a lot of reading material over the last few decades.
00:11:17.940 And it feels like, although the Trump administration certainly is guided by some policy experts, there's no question about that.
00:11:23.580 They're tired of theorizing.
00:11:25.040 It's more of an administration of doing.
00:11:28.460 Yes.
00:11:29.000 Yeah.
00:11:29.400 I mean, I'm sure you've seen it, you know, coming through Congress.
00:11:34.080 We have a lot of great theorizers, certainly.
00:11:37.520 Oh, yeah.
00:11:38.060 Yeah, I mean, look, the think tanks can think this stuff to death. 0.88
00:11:42.160 That's fine.
00:11:42.820 Write papers and all that and reams of papers and we all look at them.
00:11:46.740 It's interesting.
00:11:48.340 No, and Trump just has, in my view, the greatest instincts of any president I can really think of.
00:11:57.640 I mean, it is his superpower.
00:11:59.880 I mean, he's just got gut instincts that are almost always correct, if not always correct.
00:12:06.420 I mean, he ends up being right basically every time.
00:12:11.600 Absolutely.
00:12:12.460 Well, I mean, and like we were talking about earlier, this whole think tank coalition, this part of the conservative movement.
00:12:19.180 I mean, I know a lot of people that are in these things.
00:12:21.000 There are some fantastic people.
00:12:22.120 There's no question about that.
00:12:23.080 But a lot of this is part of this broader infrastructure that has built up, that the GOP has been built up on over the last few decades.
00:12:31.260 They went to war with Trump in 2016 until he was able to really wrestle control of the party away from, we'll just say, the establishment.
00:12:39.040 But another figure that was villainized viciously by the establishment was Pat Buchanan.
00:12:45.420 Yes.
00:12:46.060 And so I saw your proposal and I found that very exciting because I feel like he's not getting the love and respect that he deserves.
00:12:52.700 No, you know, in so many times there's an individual in history that has this outsized impact and was ahead of their time.
00:13:05.040 And Pat Buchanan is certainly one of those.
00:13:07.560 Now, if he was a Democrat, I'm sure some statue would already be built.
00:13:10.300 But as a Republican, you know, they've tried to kind of bury him for a very long time.
00:13:17.080 But he was, I mean, America first before we were really talking about America first.
00:13:23.420 And, you know, his book came out in 2002, so far ahead of its time, the death of the West.
00:13:30.660 And everything basically in that book has come true.
00:13:35.200 All of it in terms of immigration, population decline in the West and all these other.
00:13:41.760 He's been right the whole time.
00:13:43.120 And it seems so, it seems just like common sense now, some of the things that he was saying.
00:13:51.360 But back in the 90s, he stated things like the economy is not more important than the country.
00:13:58.300 You know, and like at the time, it's like, oh, well, no, you know, GDP growth, Mr. Buchanan.
00:14:04.600 I mean, this is very important.
00:14:06.360 But it's so common sense now.
00:14:08.800 And everybody seems to be aligned to those kind of principles and ideas.
00:14:13.240 But, you know, back then it was kind of sacrosanct.
00:14:16.160 It's like, what are you talking about?
00:14:17.800 Globalization, Pat, you know, it's a wave of the future.
00:14:19.740 And he even showed up to fight against NAFTA at the time when Clinton was pushing the NAFTA deal, which obviously eventually became law.
00:14:33.060 It hurt the steelworkers in my district, NAFTA did. 0.54
00:14:37.380 And Pat Buchanan went up there and gave a great speech about it.
00:14:40.320 And thousands of our guys ended up losing jobs over NAFTA.
00:14:45.840 And flash forward to Trump, he gets rid of NAFTA.
00:14:49.400 And then you have the USMCA trade agreement, which kind of obviously leveled the playing field.
00:14:54.420 But all of those things that Pat Buchanan had been talking about for decades are now actually coming to fruition.
00:15:01.300 And I know in his speech there where he lost one of his presidential runs, he just said he hoped he lived long enough to actually see these ideas come to fruition and the establishment essentially die.
00:15:14.020 And look, here he is.
00:15:15.460 And that's part of why I wrote the letter to the president and requesting that he receive the Medal of Freedom is that obviously his contributions.
00:15:28.220 He is also 86 years old now.
00:15:30.240 And it would be great to honor him in his lifetime for what he did and took all the arrows for a very long time.
00:15:38.200 Look, President Trump has taken all the arrows as well, more so than any politician that I can think of.
00:15:46.220 I mean, he's almost paid the ultimate price for his views at least twice now.
00:15:52.820 But Pat, you know, he was really a visionary in this kind of America first, more populist aligned vision of the Republican Party and has come to fruition.
00:16:05.700 Absolutely. I mean, for me coming – like I was born in 2001.
00:16:10.140 So, you know, I grew up – my sort of awareness of politics has been post-Trump the entire time.
00:16:15.420 I was, what, 14, 15 when he was the Republican nominee.
00:16:18.960 So I've always known a GOP that was Trumpian in nature.
00:16:25.040 I mean, could you maybe elaborate more on what sort of environment Pat Buchanan was in specifically in his –
00:16:31.060 Oh, yeah. I mean, so this –
00:16:36.060 He comes out of the Nixon White House.
00:16:39.460 And Nixon was more aligned with Trump than the preceding presidents after Richard Nixon in terms of this kind of working-class coalition, America first.
00:16:52.480 But Pat Buchanan was living in the time and fighting in the time in the 80s.
00:16:57.260 Well, he worked for Reagan, but after that, particularly the 90s, and where it was like we won the Cold War.
00:17:05.300 You had this fusionist Republican movement of social conservatives, libertarians, and kind of anti-communist, what we kind of call more like neocons now.
00:17:16.600 And, you know, created this conservative movement where all three were kind of working together to defeat communism, which had negative ramifications for everybody within that party coalition.
00:17:29.300 But Pat Buchanan was the guy where – so it's like, you know, the Christian conservatives were fine with, you know, globalization-free trade if it meant trying to harm the Soviet Union and the communist movement around the world at that time.
00:17:44.320 And so we kind of traded some things within that coalition of the Republican Party.
00:17:51.780 But Pat Buchanan was very consistent throughout all of this.
00:17:54.780 And like I said, you know, the economy is not more important than the country.
00:17:58.660 I'm back.
00:17:59.700 Okay.
00:18:00.160 Nice.
00:18:00.700 The anti-Buchanan coalition was attacking our internet connection.
00:18:04.660 I'm going to get back to work.
00:18:05.260 Exactly.
00:18:05.780 Peace out, guys.
00:18:07.260 Yeah, when we left off, you were kind of breaking down the dynamic of Buchanan's relationship with the GOP in the early 90s.
00:18:13.980 Yeah.
00:18:14.740 Yeah.
00:18:15.180 And as people might remember, he ran against Bob Dole for the Republican nomination for president.
00:18:20.440 And, look, he stuck by his guns and his principles throughout this whole thing.
00:18:24.500 Of course, the neocons ended up winning that.

00:19:24.600 A primary election, which then Dole got hammered in the general election because the electorate was in a different place and weren't buying what we were selling.
00:19:35.620 And had Pat Buchanan been nominated, who knows?
00:19:39.160 Maybe, perhaps, he would have been successful.
00:19:40.980 But, you know, he fought the establishment and the neocons his entire career.
00:19:46.500 And then early 2000s starts the American Conservative, the publication that actually I placed that op-ed in about wanting Pat Buchanan to...
00:19:56.980 He was one of the American Conservatives was actually the publication that first kind of platformed the Hillbilly Elegy book by now Vice President J.T. Vance.
00:20:14.000 So, there's a lot of legacy there for Pat Buchanan in the conservative movement.
00:20:20.380 And he never wavered.
00:20:21.660 He never gave up and fought it tooth and nail. 0.65
00:20:25.760 And the entire time, and I know it's hard to kind of think about it now, but he was like a kook and a crank. 0.97
00:20:31.560 That's, you know, people were just like, this guy's crazy. 0.93
00:20:34.760 I know what he's talking about.
00:20:35.860 But then to be proven correct the entire time in which he's lived long enough to be able to see that, that's how we got to honor this great man.
00:20:44.940 Absolutely.
00:20:45.520 I mean, like I said, coming, kind of matriculating into politics in the post-Trump era, every time I saw a quote from Buchanan, I was like, yeah, that panned out, only to realize it was 30 years earlier.
00:20:55.600 And I'm sitting here thinking, well, if he would have won 30 years earlier, he could have mopped this up much earlier.
00:21:00.340 We'd be in a much better...
00:21:01.320 Or I should say, the fight wouldn't be nearly as difficult.
00:21:04.480 Well, that's right.
00:21:06.300 What sort of, I mean, what sort of his legacy policy-wise are you seeing that's living on through this second Trump admin specifically?
00:21:14.160 Well, specifically is immigration and border security, which he talked about. 0.97
00:21:20.820 I mean, and everybody was like, this guy is nuts.
00:21:24.300 He wants to build a wall. 0.79
00:21:25.360 And he was very adamant about controlling immigration, but secondarily is also trade.
00:21:32.180 And, you know, I know I've mentioned a couple of times, but it's so aptly put.
00:21:41.000 And that's what drove mass immigration, open borders, bad trade deals, all those other things.
00:21:49.580 And so I'm sure he's very happy right now to see the tariffs, the immigration policies now being corrected.
00:21:57.760 So there's a lot there.
00:21:59.760 There's a lot there.
00:22:00.360 But I think those are kind of the big two to me is immigration and reasserting the sovereignty and importance of citizenship in this country.
00:22:10.180 And then also adjusting the trade framework that we've had in this country for a long time where we've been getting taken advantage of and other countries are essentially profiting off of us.
00:22:25.160 Yeah, absolutely.
00:22:26.320 You mentioned his his his 2002 book, the death of the West earlier.
00:22:30.940 And I mean, you saw it come come to life with this whole redistricting fight where he was arguing in the book that sort of this recomposition of the country that was occurring would lead to, you know, huge political it would have huge political ramifications.
00:22:44.460 And I mean, I think the state of California is exhibit A.
00:22:46.840 We're seeing it with the redistricting fight.
00:22:48.080 I know exactly right.
00:22:50.680 And, you know, in the last census, whether someone was a citizen or not a citizen, they were counted in the census for the congressional districts.
00:23:00.180 Now, in this next census, that we cannot allow that to happen.
00:23:05.860 That doesn't make any sense that part of your district is determined by people who are not even in this country legally. 0.51
00:23:15.580 Right.
00:23:15.980 Like, how does that make it doesn't make any sense?
00:23:19.760 It doesn't make any sense at all.
00:23:20.980 So I think that's going to have a huge effect on how many seats Democrats actually hold.
00:23:25.900 And Pat Buchanan was right about this the entire time.
00:23:28.540 Yeah, absolutely.
00:23:29.400 Well, and you're even seeing some of his further predictions in the book, specifically referring to like Western Europe as far as immigration, where he talked about, you know, the changing composition, changing the culture and making it a more unstable place.
00:23:40.660 I mean, you look at what's happening in England right now, where like throwing up a St. George's cross will put you on a prison, like absolute insanity.
00:23:52.080 And so he was 100% right on that as well.
00:23:55.020 I mean, if people haven't read that book, The Death of the West, and, you know, I need to go back and reread it again now as well.
00:24:02.260 But, I mean, it's astounding how right he was.
00:24:06.880 Absolutely.
00:24:07.880 Well, I got to ask, I mean, since you wrote the letter, I mean, do you have a sense on how, I mean, I don't know, maybe this is too forward, but do you have a sense on how likely it is that some sort of recognition occurs?
00:24:16.220 Well, I have been talking to White House staff about this, and it does seem that there is some interest in doing this.
00:24:24.120 Not saying it's going to happen, but we've had some really, I've had personally myself, some very positive conversations with the White House that this might be a possibility.
00:24:34.380 It's fantastic.
00:24:35.380 I mean, like I said, like you were touching on earlier, I mean, we really do see the fingerprints of his policy proposals in the second Trump administration.
00:24:42.700 I mean, I can say anecdotally, you know, speaking to White House staffers, a lot of them were heavily influenced by Pat Buchanan, so it's really cool to see him sort of getting the recognition he deserves.
00:24:53.080 I had one more question kind of correlating to that is, you know, what do you think the long-term effect of Trump and MAGA is?
00:25:02.320 I mean, because, you know, we still have three years of Trump, obviously, this is going to be fantastic, but this J.D. Vance, you know, potentially J.D. Vance taking the torch on, taking the mantle of MAGA, it's kind of interesting, you know, talking about Pat Buchanan and his policy proposals extending beyond Trump.
00:25:18.380 I mean, what is your view of MAGA as a long-term, you know, policy platform?
00:25:23.920 Yeah, well, you know, that's certainly where I align myself, right, and I consider myself part of that movement, and certainly that's where I align in terms of being a member of Congress.
00:25:35.340 I am, you know, some people said, you know, more national, right-leaning, NatCon, MAGA, populist, whatever you want to call it, but I like MAGA, so we'll stick with that.
00:25:46.700 If you look at things right now in terms of Vice President Vance taking up the reins and, God willing, becoming the next President of the United States,
00:26:03.040 be the VP nominee and hopefully fill that office, and then you do have a deep bench within MAGA, and it's not going away.
00:26:16.060 It's just growing more and more.
00:26:18.520 Not only do we have presidential candidates, we have congressional candidates, Senate candidates, and they are winning and filling these seats.
00:26:25.020 So, to me, this is just the beginning.
00:26:27.720 This isn't the end.
00:26:28.960 We're like in Chapter 1 right now, which I think is really exciting, and the realignment of the constituencies around the country toward MAGA, particularly in the working class.
00:26:42.960 It's, you know, I'm not saying this is going to happen to us.
00:26:45.920 God willing, it does.
00:26:47.220 But as you might recall, back in the day, the Democrats had the working class vote just locked up in Congress.
00:26:54.020 They had a 40-year majority.
00:26:55.640 You know, and they got their way for a very long period of time, and I think if we are with the people and the American people, particularly the working people of this country, we could be in power for a very long time and have a very positive effect on the average men and women of this great country.
00:27:15.900 Absolutely.
00:27:16.900 Well, I love it.
00:27:17.340 I'm glad we got to get you back in.
00:27:19.380 Again, thank you.

00:28:30.720 That's my personal handle.
00:28:33.620 And RepRileyMoore is my official one.
00:28:38.440 So either one.
00:28:39.540 We stay pretty active on there.
00:28:41.380 And come look me up.
00:28:43.040 Hopefully I'll be back over to the skate park soon.
00:28:45.680 Hopefully, yeah.
00:28:46.880 Keen.
00:28:47.120 I know Serge is keen on it.
00:28:48.220 He was ready to take a game of skate, I think.
00:28:52.700 Yeah, I do need to play him in a game of skate.
00:28:55.960 And that is going to happen.
00:28:57.960 But I just haven't skated in a little bit.
00:28:59.800 So I don't want to go in cold.
00:29:00.860 Right.
00:29:01.040 I've got to get ready.
00:29:01.760 That's right.
00:29:02.220 I love it.
00:29:02.700 Well, appreciate it.
00:29:03.660 Appreciate you stopping in.
00:29:05.180 Have a good rest of your day.
00:29:06.860 Hey, you too.
00:29:07.600 Thanks.
00:29:08.100 Thanks.
00:29:08.820 Yep.
00:29:09.180 Bye-bye.
00:29:10.480 All righty.
00:29:11.540 That was Rep Riley Moore.
00:29:14.800 I'm very happy that we got to get him back in the show here.
00:29:19.800 Because, yeah, the Pat Buchanan thing, he's kind of an unsung hero of the MAGA movement.
00:29:25.260 Again, if you haven't read his books, broadly speaking, or his pieces over the years, you
00:29:31.120 really do see his fingerprints all over the MAGA agenda.
00:29:35.000 So I think it's fantastic that Rep Moore is showing him the love that he deserves, especially
00:29:40.480 because he's still alive.
00:29:41.540 He's still alive.
00:29:42.200 He is 86, I believe.
00:29:44.440 That's what Mr. Moore said.
00:29:45.980 So with that, thanks for watching.
00:29:49.540 Obviously, prayers with the Christian and the Catholic community in Minneapolis.
00:29:56.580 We'll be back to discuss tonight at 8 p.m.
00:29:59.000 I'm sure there'll be some more updates.
00:30:00.940 So be there for that.
00:30:01.700 It will be hosted by Jack Posobiec.
00:30:03.180 So, yeah, be there for that.
00:30:05.460 I think it'll be a fascinating show.
00:30:07.840 I've been your host, Tate Brown.
