Section 5 talks about the rise of the Tea Party and the various Republican Presidential candidates.

He talks very favorably of Rick Perry, comparing him to Ronald Reagan.

He’s been quoted as saying that Cain is more black than Obama.

Somewhere in the interview, he does note the differences in their backgrounds.

Of course, our Governor Perry started out on a tenant farm. My mother did too, only Granddaddy had to give it up in the early 50’s, due to the drought.

Thanks, hocdoc. I love the Uncommon Knowledge interview series. It reminds me of the Buckley’s old show, Firing Line.
