good day pat buchanan today
on whose book suicide the superpower all-america survive to 2000
25 a I'm gonna give you a television eternity
patron takes three minutes and explain your thesis
the CCI have more than one and what would you do about
well one of them is I don't think the United States is going to be the last
moon superpower
by 2020 I think China is rising so fast it's gonna be
military virtually equal to the United States an economic equal so we're going
to a bipolar world
secondly I think the American state
the nation's state the government is in deep trouble Ralph
it cannot balance its budget or secure its borders
corwin its wars or stop the hemorrhaging up its manufacturing base
overseas we lost six million manufacturing jobs
in the first decade of the 21st century some 55,000 factory shutdown
United States is declining has a great super-powered a great nation
but I think the most important thing I see is that
america is disintegrating I think it was Lee Hamilton who said
that the centrifugal forces are becoming dominant in american society
and I think if you look at our country you will see that that
ethnically in terms of class in terms of philosophy and ideology

people who separate from each other and do not much like each other
and even detest each other in so in that sense America will be a legal entity I
think in a political community
but I don't think we'll be able to call ourselves one nation
under God indivisible again I don't think will be a country in the
in the sense that John J in Federalist to described us
as one unique separate people
