Peter Brimler, thank you so much for doing this.
00:00:10.720
but there were a couple exchanges that suggested to me
00:00:18.200
This is a tweet from last week, less than a week ago,
00:00:22.280
from basically an anonymous account, and I'm quoting.
00:00:26.020
If white men become a minority, we will be slaughtered.
00:00:34.660
then they will be a thousand times more hostile and cruel
00:01:09.860
here's the world's richest man who owns this platform
00:01:24.680
for saying things that are way more restrained for that than that.
00:01:28.520
So I have to ask you what it feels like to see that.
00:01:37.440
I'm happy that the debate has moved in that direction
00:01:41.340
and the things that we were talking about 25 years ago
00:01:57.580
by the New York Attorney General, Letitia James.
00:02:04.460
it's part of my accent, I've been here for 55 years
00:02:08.720
I work for Forbes and Fortune and Barons and so on
00:02:21.480
That's sometimes credited with kicking off the modern debate.
00:02:28.060
within the conservative movement at that point,
00:02:29.720
which we lost and Buckley stabbed us in the back
00:02:32.700
and purged the magazine of immigration patriots.
00:02:40.240
and they were going on about the need for amnesty
00:03:01.700
it was destroyed by the New York Attorney General,
00:03:44.740
So the whole thing is shocking and so revealing,
00:04:00.640
At the time, National Review really was a forum
00:04:25.740
And in 1992, I wrote this very long cover story.
