Description

In this hour we look at the meeting of the Republican candidates through a

conservative prism. As WFB poses the question, "What were [the candidates] saying to

American conservatives on the issues? ... Indeed, what is it that conservatives most

wish to hear these days?" Occasionally rambling but often insightful. RB: "If the

person who wins the Republican nomination has any political intelligence at all, which

may eliminate George Bush, they have to take into account the force and the effect that

Robertson has had." ... WFB: "The thing [Haig] said that struck me with greatest force

is: Look we ought to be awfully happy that we're not living in a nuclear-free world.

Fifty million people were killed the last time we had a nuclear-free war.... Now I think

that's a very important point to make at a moment when the President of the United

States, who is our leader, has taken, in effect, a position that thinks in terms of

international denuclearization."
