Buchanan's latest book is Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025?

The two begin with a mutually agreeing conversation about free trade but debate Third World immigration and its effect on American public education based on Buchanan's statement in his column "":

For though the majority of immigrants come to work, and work hard, most now come from Third World countries and do not bring the academic or professional skills of European-Americans.

Third, the decline in academic test scores is likely to continue, as more of the children taking those tests will be black and Hispanic. Though we have spent trillions over four decades, we have failed to close the racial gap in education.


Then Hartmann brings up how America confronted Irish immigrants in the 19th century given how Buchanan is Irish-American.
