I don't know why they gave him airtime; I almost fell out of my chair. I don't have an entire transcript, but here is an article written about it.

And what does Buchanan believe? Essentially that the more diverse our country gets, the more America sucks.
That period will be reached in 2042, or 2041. Were about 25 years away from the fact that European-Americans will be a minority in the United States. [Thats a problem because] I look at Europe, and I look all over the world, and I see peoples everywhere at each others throats over issues of ethnicities and identities.
and from another site:

I look at Europe and I see peoples everywhere at each others throats over issues of ethnicity and identity, Buchanan said. Again, the United States of America had high immigration from 1890 to 1920. Then we had a timeout where all those folks from Eastern and Southern Europe were assimilated. They learned English. I went to school with the sons and daughters of these folks and we created a really united country where 97 percent of the country spoke English in 1970. Now, in half the homes in California, people speak a language other than English in their own homes. Anybody who believes that a country can be maintained that has no ethnic core to it, or no linguistic core, is naive in the extreme.
But you understand how that language feels very . host Rene Montagne said, beginning her question.
I dont care how that language sits with people. My job is not to make people happy. Its to tell the truth as I see it, Buchanan interrupted.
.........................................
What you are laying out is an America that is white or Montagne persisted.
Its an America like the country I grew up in, which was a pretty good country, Buchanan said, suggesting the country agrees by virtue of Donald Trumps victories.

Buchanan and Nixon were brothers from another mother, shared the exact same opinions and attitudes about race and religion, hated all the same people.
The shit I heard right here on DU just yesterday, somewhere on here, was that Nixon was to the left of Hillary.
Fucking ignorant people say shit like that and it really pisses me off.

(6,133 posts)At least Pat goes further back. Back then in the 92 Republican Convention, I listened to his words at work with the radio loud, and put my hand up in a Nazi salute, because that was how his words sounded like to me.
Fortunately the people I worked with felt the same. It was the evening shift. The best shift always when management goes home, and you can still wake up in the morning.
George H. W. Bush loved it. The participants loved it. The whole Republican Party loved it.
I thought it sounded fascist back then in 92, and this guy Pat is still the go to guy today, but it has become worse with Trump.
