We will be here again all day on sunday. Joining us on our outdoor set, author and radio talkshow host hugh hewitt. Mr. Hewitt, we brought you on to talk about your newest book but i i dont have a copy of. Guest secrecy. It is about hillary. We are keeping it very under wraps until it releases. First of all i want to to congratulate you on bringing books to usc. All all my trojan friends out there command talking about you. I have written a book based closely on nokia valleys the prints which was published 500 years ago. Some people say was that was 502, published 502, some people say 498. And so i wrote a book of advice for hillary on how to when and how to govern. That will be released on june 19. Some of my republican friends are going to like it because it is how she could win and govern. Host what is it called . Guest it is called the queen. Host how did you come up with that name . Guest because it is not the prince is the queen. I we will do everything i can to stop her from winning. To adapt billion dollars, the dollars, the electoral college, the confusion of the republican ranks, we cannot make a single mistake. Im a conservative a conservative republican. I would rather any republican beat hillary. Right now if you look at her and you are london bookie i bet they have for at least three to two odds of winning host recently on to me to press he said the democrats are afraid theyll have a a candidate that they need to prop up. Guest i referenced weekend at bernies. He invites genuine conservatives on. He asked me if the republicans were going to go overboard hillary. I said we cant. Democrats are worried that she is a terrific candidate. I think this is part of how she wins. She cant do what she did this past week, and she cant do what she did in 2008, she has to do something completely different. If she repeats what she did in iowa we will beat her. She her. Shes a very smart lady, very experienced not much a compass the compass maza senator, but terribly smart. They have a great team but they dont know how to run run for pres. Bella sat around for pres. One of the mistakes that they made and i will give you a little peek inside the book is how to use bill clinton. The over force of american politics. He may show appear. The only good thing is tonight on saturday night live they will have a hillary segment. For the 1st time in years democrats worry about what will be on saturday night live in the way the republicans worried during the last two president ial campaigns, they will every single week. Host you do did not think much of her drive across the country. Guest no. Chuck todd was on the radio show yesterday talking about the launch. Chuck said she had a great 1st day. Chipotle in disaster for parking in the handicap space, disaster not taking any questions, disaster. Remoteness. Yesterday maggie of the New York Times wrote apiece in this week they have planned fakes smiled our events because they dont really care about the small donors that they have to pretend like they do. It is all absolutely fake but a collar to my show lets give credit to the colleges. She has got people excited because of who she is but because of what she will be. That is true. She will be the 1st woman president and that is a big deal. As a result she has energy and some good staff but if she runs if she does not do what i tell her to do she will lose. Right lose. Right now i think she is smart enough to do what i tell her to do. Host if you go to huge hewitt. Com you will see that you lament the fact that Hillary Clinton has never done an interview with you. Guest i wouldnt do it, neither has has president obama. I did a threehour interview with him, terrific book. He truly transparently authentically laid out his life, which is full of sorrow and victory defeat and triumph and he made pres. Obama. After that i was hoping maybe pres. Obama would accept my invitation to appear command he has not i have i have known a lot of people around the former secretary of state command i would be respectful. The trouble is she cant really answer a lot of questions that our friends in the Mainstream Media politely nebraska. And as and as a result she cant actually going to harms way. For example how much do you attribute the collapse of our relationship with russia to your engineering of the reset to make sure connection reset us back to 1988. So she really so she really cant defend her tenure at state. She will stick with Thomas Friedman and some wonderful people. She will going to harms way. Host we will put the numbers up on the screen. Screen. How are guest is radio host and talkshow hugh hewitt. Guest june 19. Host june 19 called teefor called the queen he has written a slew of books. We want want to hear from you as well. Go ahead and dialin. We will begin talking in just a minute. Marco rubio. He was on my program a week ago monday and was terrific, as always. Republicans are blessed this time with a deep bench of able communicators. In the in the last eight days of talks to rand Paul Chris Christie marco rubio, rick santorum, carly fear arena. I for the arena. I am forgetting someone. Jeb bush was in studio week ago. Ted cruz was on yesterday. Marco rubio is the best communicator. Ted cruz is right behind him senator rubio is almost incandescent in the way the pres. Obama was. I was there in 2004 when john kerry was nominated. Keynote. I walked out of the same while. What a torch. I think i think people who watch marco rubio on monday said well. So i am very favorably impressed. I am not endorsing anyone. They are all my friends. I invite them all on and let them come on as often as they want. They always make news, but i also have some very difficult questions. And so they are ambivalent but coming. Marco rubio is probably never not prepared for anything i asked. I asked former Florida Governor jeb bush if he was committed to building 11 carrier groups in rebuilding the ohio class submarine. He said quite straightforward i have not studied up on that yet. It was a good answer them a but he had not yet studied up on the number of carrier groups we need our boomer our boomer for the benefit of steelers fans out there. The draft is getting close. Dont mess up. The response was detailed, precise in the senate that is what they do. Unlike anyone else he has none of the ohio class submarines. Host bush versus clinton 2016. Guest i asked former Florida Governor bush a month ago what message it would send to emerging democracies like nigeria and india where they are going through there 1st peaceful transition of power in nigeria. Theyre getting used to an india. What would it say about politics if we keep recycling the same candidates again and again . And jeb bushs answer was good. If in fact it is about dynasties that is bad bad, but you will see, my campaign is not about a dynasty. Nevertheless, bush versus clinton or clinton versus bush does have an awfully familiar ring to it. This is hillarys 6th run for office. A. That out in the queen. 2004 she is a sen. Supporting john kerry, john kerry, 2008 she runs from a 2012 she is secretary of state were not in politics but around it. This is at least number six, arguably number seven. Jeb bush has been around 1980, 84 88. Ninetytwo 2000, 2,004. This is his 8th time. Between the two of them they have have run 15 to 16 president ial campaigns or been close to the decision center. It is like that some of your audience will be old enough to run moroccan soccer robots. Its like playing it endlessly for 20 years. It will be magnificent. Host scott walker. Guest again, in the studio two weeks ago. In phoenix. I was in phoenix for chamber of commerce lunch were interviewed him off the record. Then he came to my studios for a halfhour unscripted. I spent it all on foreignpolicy because the rap on scott walker is that he is not ready. Tremendous foreignpolicy advisor and a guy named mike gallagher. Former missouri former missouri senator has joined his team. One of my law partners is deeply involved. So i pushed a very hard on nato allies and things like that. He was ready and prepared. And if you are governor two years ago is that you are sitting. All about obama care and the economy. All of economy. All of a sudden the world has gone to hell. Crimea and China Building airwaves on small islands. All of a sudden the senators got engaged. It is going to be a great year. The best of times for talk radio are the worst of times for the world in the country. The best of times for talk radio is when there is a highly competitive republican primary for president and the world is going to hell. That is the best time to do talk radio these everybody listens and we bring in breaking news. Host if someone were to pick up one of your books which would you recommend . Guest i will i will answer twofold. If they were younger should read and but not of. I wrote in but not of 15 15 years ago for young people. If they are middleaged or older the happiest life, my most recent book which i wrote looking back saying here is what i figured out. You are in that book. All the people in a student in the things that actually matter. That would be for the general audience. If you are 22 or younger younger and but not of. Host on your website you list all the books but you also have a bookshelf recommending books. What is being recommended . Guest i brought along books. Then i hope you interview bill and shoots. Bill and shoots. I just finished this book. Out with the west begins. A marvelously successful american entrepreneur. He owns aeg, interest and most of major league soccer, is a Staple Center been to a lot of different businesses, denver businessman who loves history and loves the west. Profiles of 45 entrepreneurs who built the west. For example fred harvey. He built the harvey houses, invented the harvey girls. In 2000 word profiles he profiles all of these people i finished them on the drive here today. A genuine contribution to American History because it is successful and make accessible a lot of people you have never heard of. I did not no Meyer Guggenheim made his money in mining. So all of these different people profile in their. The Los Angeles Times festival of books. From the great state of ohio. He is profiled in there. It is an amazing, riveting read. Fascinating but 1st woman press secretary for the republicans in the middle of a war. But these are both going on my necessary bookshelf. Books that i think people need to have read in order to understand the world in which we live. Number one on their i always asked people. Guest by the way our guest on our indepth program. Guest i have not read his david book. I think the looming tower is probably the most influential book in the way that i understand the world. Host by the way hugh hewitt has been a guest on our indepth program. You can watch all three hours. Guest one more book. This is book. This is what they give freshman when they come to usc. It is how rocket learns to read. Signing books read. Signing books out there. I got that and picked it up for the ufc freshman. Abcaten. Host where did you go to school . Host i did my undergrad in michigan. A great law school. So when are you interviewing . Guest i we will play it over the course of three weeks. Because there is so much there. Im going to cut it up a a little segments on each of the entrepreneurs. Host do you read thoroughly the books . And calling you out here. Here it is underlined. We can show we can show a little bit of the underlining. My annotation system was taught to me by pres. Nixon. He used a check mark and a a star in it . Underlining is good. Check march 1 through four important. A star you must discuss this. Something new that you never knew before. When i go back through i we will prepare the interview over the next 2436 hours. I we will go back to my annotation and tell me how to outline the interview branches. It will be like you guys. As a seven i sat down interviewers im number 39 never used steroids. Host rand paul. Guest on the show we can go friday. Very different from the other republicans. With smart. I asked him about drug legalization, one of the big divide in the Republican Party. I asked them about drug legalization. Very much against it. I think bill bennetts tells us why. Chris christie and marco rubio i dedicated i dedicated the cracking down on washington in colorado drug sales. Rand. Grandpa very much open to the state option. A libertarian republican the better on foreignpolicy than people think. He is open to more defense spending and he is very attractive onair. Some people are natural some people are not. We are blessed with a lot of natural communicators. It was interesting doctor ben carson. Hes a surgeon. He speaks deliberately. He is not deep in Foreign Affairs. Mitt romney was thinking about reentering the race. Ben carson is polling at 14 or 15 percent in iowa. A tremendous paul because of his dramatic and appealing personality and life story but he was on with chuck todd and he is very deliberate. I dont mean slope, but he is very deliberate. And i dont know that American Media will treat them well. When he was on my show he appeared not to know that the baltic republics are part of nato, which is one of those things that a firsttime candidate may not know but if your running for president you have to know who is in nato and what article five is. While he is gifted, probably the weakest force the republican field is ben carson. The 2nd wasted 2nd weakest used to be carly farina. All of a sudden she is galloping across the National Media state with abandon. I cant even line them up. They are stacked between five and 20 percent. Host speaking of stacked, our phones are stacked so lets take some calls. Joe in pittsburgh. Caller yes i want to ask you about the legacy from bill clintons a ministration. Does anyone ever bring up the fact that he pardoned some very heinous criminals like marc rich who had some oil drilling wraps . Guest i will bring up the marc rich pardon. Who doubt pardon. Who doubt the phone for you . You are steelers fan probably. Marc rich is probably going to dog bill clinton a lot less than republicans and conservatives like it. This is simply american memory. American memory is four years old. If it happened more than four years ago in american politics it doesnt matter. You can survive scandal, defeat anything except ridicule in american politics. Thats the one thing that you can come back from. Host matt. Im just curious. Does he believe the Republican Party since can survive another neocon being elected . If so if not will someone like rand paul ever really have a chance . Host could you define 1st what you mean by neocon. Caller neoconservatives like bush senior and bush junior both neocons. Hannity is a neocon. They have taken over the Republican Party in the past ten or 15 years. Basically a democrat that is prolife and pro Big Government. Homeland security act that is not something a republican would have done. It is not something a republican should do. They one of the republican ticket. Host thank you sir. Guest thank you. We used to call neocons hamiltonians commendably golden we can ask. Rich lowry wrote a great book and Abraham Lincoln conclusively proving he was the first. 1st. I am not ever been a democrat. If you were to Ronald Reagan it is hard to be elite a neocon. The libertarian element is the knew element, and i welcome it. Im glad to have it. But they have been around since alexander hamilton. Free traders, infrastructure bankers, homestead act signed by Abraham Lincoln, the greatest giveaway in american industry. So i get a lot of calls on the radio show from people who think rand paul is not getting a fair shot. He will get get a very fair shot. He will get 10 percent or more in every president ial primary but he may have the lowest ceiling unless he successfully persuade people that he will be open to the use of American Force whenever necessary command i would. Out, in washington dc this week a gyroscope landed on the capitol. I was there on monday. I was actually in the company of a Fighter Pilot a monday night asking about airspace over dc, the most heavily controlled airspace. Every aircraft is handed off and closely monitor. This gyroscopic lands on the capitol. Its only a matter of time until the country is again hit. Lindsey graham was on the program this week. I asked him if he was amazed it wasnt shot down and he was. I asked him do you think america is more susceptible to a mass casualty attack today that it than it was six and a half years ago . And he said absolutely yes. And so i think one of the burdens that he will bear is persuading people that a nonneocon will be adequate to the task of defending the country against mass casualty attacks. Our friend matt may believe he is. He may not. Abcaten what do. Host what do you think of the term islamic terrorism . Guest it has to be used. You have to name what you are up against. I use islamist terrorism since i believe the strain of islamist terrorism is primarily to headed. The al qaeda variant the homeless or front, the islamic state, and then and then there is the sheer variety which is augmentin is odd imam variety, end times variety, and and those are if islam is like anything else a bell curve, there is a 3rd kind the sunnis other we will have us if they are troubled. On this end of the bell curve of the shia and they are troubled because they are fanatics. I think fanatics are in control of iran. We know fanatics are in control of islamic states. We also know that we have many strong and powerful allies among arab nations in the muslim nations like saudi Arabia Jordan kuwait, and we have to be careful. Egypt. I am a big fan of the new Foreign Affairs course. I think you say that country from a brotherhood takeover that was neither democratic or liberal. At the same time, he is a strong man using strongman tactics because of the nature of the country that he governs. We we should work with them to improve its human rights record. Neocons are very aware of the world as it is. Host joe in malibu california. Caller hello. Nice program. Hello. I am wondering whether or not in your book you might have gone back far enough to hillarys 1st job which was secretary. It turned out to be at the time the largest bankruptcy government bailout at that time. Guest no. Guest what host have you heard of wh
