Insightful author interviews
Saturday 9 PM, Sunday 6 PM and 9 PM ET
In Day of Reckoning: How Hubris, Ideology, and Greed Are Tearing America Apart, Patrick Buchanan says that America is facing a crisis from which it may not survive. He argues that the effects of mass immigration, ineffective foreign policy, an overextended military, and the worship of "free trade" are leading the country on a path of destruction. Mr. Buchanan offers recommendations on these and other issues that he says would rescue America from itself. Patrick Buchanan discusses his book with Diana West, syndicated columnist for the Washington Times and author of The Death of the Grown-Up: How America's Arrested Development Is Bringing Down Western Civilization.
