But obviously, at some point, um, Buckley and plenty of other people in the conservative movement said, "You know, these, these guys, they're a little too crazy.
Richard MorrisonHOST
28:27
We don't think they should be representing us, or we should be like, you know, uh, hanging out with them." Um, because just for people who maybe don't, don't know the history, uh, at one point, Robert Welch, who was the president and sort of the founder and, and the head of the John Birch Society, um, uh, said that he thought President Eisenhower was a communist agent.
Stephanie SladeGUEST
28:46
Right.
Richard MorrisonHOST
28:47
Which seems a little extreme.
Greg PrinceGUEST
7:35
That put him at loggerheads later on with Ezra Taft Benson, because Benson went so far to the opposite extreme, not just being a conservative Republican, but being a de facto John Bircher.
Greg PrinceGUEST
7:50
He never joined because McKay wouldn't let him, but he certainly wanted to, and Robert Welch wanted Benson to be on the board of directors of the John Birch Society.
Greg PrinceGUEST
8:00
Think of what a scandal that would've been.
Greg PrinceGUEST
8:02
And that got aborted by McKay.
Mark HarrisGUEST
45:30
So, um, you know, the house was built on property that was owned by, uh, a guy named Charles Walter Ruckel II.
Mark HarrisGUEST
45:37
He, he was handpicked, uh, by Robert Welch to sit on the, the, uh, the, the, uh, executive committee of the John Birch Society with people like Nelson Bunker Hunt.
Mark HarrisGUEST
45:49
You know, the people who took out the wanted for treason, uh, uh, ads and, and flyers.
Mark HarrisGUEST
45:54
So, uh, it's certainly, uh, a credible lead I think, you know.
Bill KristolHOST
33:18
And similarly, I would say on the other side too, right? The left wouldn't distinguish Bill Buckley from, you know, whatever, from George Wallace, even though they argued and debated and Buckley tried pretty hard to distinguish himself.
Bill KristolHOST
33:31
But again, I am struck, it makes such a difference if you have leaders who are doing a conflating or very prominent media types, as you've just been saying, as opposed to sort of Robert Welch and the John Birch Society.
Bill KristolHOST
33:42
That was able to be kept somewhat in a box.
Bill KristolHOST
33:44
It had its effects.
Wendy BellHOST
31:49
You know, I'm going to say this to you before I get into this audio soundbite.
Wendy BellHOST
31:53
Guy, you're about to hear, welcome back to the Wendy Bell Radio program, is Robert Welch.
Wendy BellHOST
31:58
Robert Welch founded the John Birch Society.
Wendy BellHOST
32:04
And he, in 1974, shared basically the playlist of the global cabal's plan to destroy America, destroy any democracy, any fledgling constitutional republic, what we represent.
Wendy BellHOST
32:22
But before I play his audio, you know, our children have been through a mighty war.
Wendy BellHOST
33:11
And watch for it.
Wendy BellHOST
33:12
Because they'll drop the same play again.
Wendy BellHOST
33:15
Here's John Welch, Robert Welch, excuse me, founder of the John Birch Society, talking about the plan forcing America to surrender its sovereignty to basically a global cabal of sock.
Josh CohenGUEST
28:52
The conservative, what you might call landscape at the time, was sort of fractious and schismatic.
Josh CohenGUEST
28:56
You had the John Birch Society, the Robert Welch crew.
Josh CohenGUEST
29:02
You had populism that was running amok, probably most saliently with people like George Wallace, right? And William F.
Josh CohenGUEST
29:11
Buckley's advocacy and proponent of fusionism basically brought these – coalitions together under one tent.
HeatherHOST
55:18
It's about right and wrong.
HeatherHOST
55:19
As John Birch Society founder Robert Welch explained, humanity is faced with, quote, a satanic and diabolical, or I'm sorry, and diabolic conspiracy, end quote.
HeatherHOST
55:28
For Christians, Jews, and God-fearing people, who believe the scriptures that much is clear.
HeatherHOST
55:33
And for those who believe there is a moral imperative that must be adhered to, being active against the deep state globalist campaigns should be a given.
