we'll be back next week because if it's sunday, it's "meet the press." i think i was born to be married. i think i was born married. i was the happiest girl in the world when i became we. you know, i loved that. i loved everything about marriage. we've had a great life. a great life. and i was very blessed to find him. i really was. >> good evening. i'm chris matthews out in las

vegas. i want to start with a few words of my own about nancy reagan whom i have been honored to call a friend for a long time. it's clear to all who paid any protection protected her life in husband, has honored his legacy in every hour since. she kept the reagan tormg lit brig torch lit brightly. there was also the political connection. rivals deeply and widelyy agreed to meet their duty, to meet the urgent challenge of protecting social security and finally to end the cold war peacefully. on every issue that came between these two was their shared sense of urgency, a missing element i think today in today's politics. they believed you cooperate keep kicking the can down the road and that led to historic reforms on tax and immigration, working together on matters that neff

saw the light of day such as ending the troubles of northern ireland. i'm also glad that in the wake of this history, i could get to know naps city reagan as a person, someone who loved the good life she shared with her husband and the old days of hollywood and engaged strongly in his today rear acareer and kh lit all these years. i want to bring in evan thomas and author of being nixon.n mea nbc news. let's talk about nancy reagan. in the early '50s, offers

weren't coming, he was in bad shape getting turned down for parts. he couldn't get cowboy movies. and along comes nancy. he had been dumped by his first wife and here she came along and basically bucked him up and made him a winner again. >> and i can machblg -- you can imagine that the early days of their marriage, she was there sitting in that night club in las vegas watching her adored husband who had had this great career, king's row right before world war ii, acting as an emcee in the night club. and she was the one who basically as you say got him on his feet, got ge theater and death valley day tsz and after that when wanted a political career, made a lot of the social relationships and political relationships around l.a. that made that possible.

>> he wouldn't be where he got it f. it wasn't for the fact that he survived. >> 1948 was his worst year. he couldn't find work as michael scissors says. he had been on a rise before the second world war and he said i met nancy davis and she shaved my soul. and they were never really part. i think ronald reagan was one of the last lion's of the 20th century and nancy reagan helped give him a roar. and so the weep of first ladies, arguably in terms of public policy and supporting her husband, she's the most important first lady since eleanor roosevelt in terms of making a presidency work. >> evan. >> there is an interesting -- marriage are particularly interesting with public leaders. because sometimes the one spouse will bear the burden of the

other. and this i think is particularly interesting in the reagans case. reagan was sur reason. he slept at night. i've read nancy stayed awake so ronald could sleep. he bore his burdens and it freed him to be sur reason. you see this in a lot of marriages, but it's particularly pronounced in the reagan's case. and it's exception to i think reagan's kind of sunniness and his serenity that she was hit protector, that she worried for him. >> she went in there and got rid of don regan who thought himself as president and brought back in howard baker and basically allowed reagan to walk into the pages of history as a winner. >> she did.

and part of that was she was not very ideological. a lot of conservatives were angry that she brought in bob straws, but she wanted to get her husband once again back on his feet and close out the presidency with a great achievement which is put the nation on the road to ending the cold war. >> and she could be tough. she fired don regan i believe on television. >> that's sort of like a toll stoi story unto itself. the firing of don regan. she wanted bob vastraws tuss an got her way. don regan made the mistake of

hanging up on her on the telephone once. not something you do. but it also shows how difficult politics always is because she paid a price for that. let's remember what don regan did in retribution. he revealed mrs. reagan began consulting and as control gi to seek guidance on the most favorable presidential scheduling. it was deeply embarrassing. and it shows she was very much a political figure in what was a tumultuous political time. >> she once told me that i think a lot of that about bringing joan quigley, who is a very smart woman, deceased but a smart a astrologer.

but she -- will i think nancy never got over the assassination attempt. respect she was hoping to monitor her husband's way. >> i believe she turned to quigley after the assassination attempt. she eliminated his public appearances. you could see why she was worried about it. you know, we have to remember she did fall on her sword for reagan. she took a lot of grief for him. i was covering the white house along with a lot of others and she was painted as the bad guy. she took a lot. remember the -- and she was pretty clever about disarming. my memory of this is that she took a lot of grief for her fancy clothes.

the country is in recession and there she is in the beautiful clothes and we in the press got on it. she went to the grid iron dinner and sang second happened clothes to the tune of secondhand rows and brought down the house. and it worked for a while, but then the recent got back on her. she had a pretty negative press. >> one of the weird things about the prejudices of ivy league, she went to smith and they were going to give her an honorary degree and they yanked it on her. because they wanted to give it on barbara bush. someone who worked outside home and here is nancy who made her own career in hollywood, went out there alone as a single woman really worked outside the home whereas barbara bush didn't. these kinds of decisions by

academia do not give you much faith in their honesty or judgment. >> a lot of what she was criticized for was being tooed a dorg of her husband and trying to collaborate with her husband, to make his now a days i'd hope that she would be honored for that. >> interesting. >> i think women went options like we want options. state right there. more on the legacy of nancy reagan when we on bag. this is joanne.

>> i was lucky to have fun with her. i god to dance with ginger rogers and so on. but we had fun. you remember in 1984, it was a big deal, turning point. and so i went to nancy and i said the deal is he comes to the west wing, we have a meeting in the oval office. we walk down to the mansion this is your home and then we have a working lunch. so i said how about you being there at the stand around time. she said that was a great idea. he goes right over to her and nancy could brings he will. and he says to her, is it your husband want peace and she said of course my husband wants peace.it your

husband want peace and she said of course my husband wants peace. and he said every night before he goes to sleep, whisper in his ear peace. and she pulled him down so he had to bend his knees and i said i'll whisper it in your ear, peace. >> wow. she was something. when you were secretary of state, you held a top cabinet position. did you have a sense that -- she heared in the thinking of the president, how would you describe that role of influence or companionship? >> well, they were very close. what they talked about in private, nobody knows. but you could see that they communicated and paid attention to each other very closely. here is an example. at one point in early '83, i had

a trip to china. got back on a friday morning and i was lucky to land at andrews air force base because it was snowing. it snowed all day friday and friday night. saturday morning and the ray gans were stuck in the white house. our phone rang and nancy says how about coming over for my supper. so my wife and i go over for supper. and nancy was kind of in the lead, but both of them, they start asking me about the chinese leaders. what kind of people are they. do they have a sense of humor, do they have a bottom line, can you fand a bottom line and so on. and then they started asking me the same thing about soviet leaders. i could see sort of dawned on me this man ronald ray began had never had a real conversation with a big time communist leader. and so i said i have weekly

meetings. coming over here 5:00 tuesday afternoon, why don't i bring him here and you talk to him. and she was shaking her head yes. he said that's a good idea, bring him over here, all i want to stay is this new leader is interested in the construction of conversation, i'm ready. and nancy was very affirmative. it was obvious that any had talked it over. a very intense moment, but he was saying let's do something different. >> how well was she receptive to the fact that gorbachev came into power? did she have a good instinct about him, that he was a technocrat, but a new kind of russian leader? >> well, i think he was reinforced in his view by margaret thatcher. margaret had -- before he was

the general secretary she said this is a man we can do business with. and so reagan and margaret were very close. and nancy. so her opinion made a difference. and then he wasn't there at the funeral, but i was and i talked to him a lot about it. and he had a lot of notes in front of him, shoving them away, never looked at them. and then we talked about a wide variety of things. and he was very much up on everything. and afterwards i told our group because i had met with a lot of soviet leaders before when will i was second of treasury. i said this is a different kind of leader than we ever had to interact with before. he's tough, he's quick, but you can have a conversation with him. he listens to what you say and he answers and expects you to do the same. and i told that story to nancy

and she was very affirmative. >> well, mr. secretary, thank you before i have to send it now, but my best to charlotte and thanks for what you've done for our country. thank you so much. >> okay. >> more on the reaction to the passing of nancy reagan when we come back. this is joanne. her long day as a hair stylist starts with shoulder pain when... hey joanne, want to trade the all day relief of 2 aleve with 6 tylenol? give up my 2 aleve for 6 tylenol? no thanks. for me... it's aleve. dad, yoh no, i'll take you up to me off rthe front of the school. that's where your friends are. seriously, it's, it's really fine. you don't want to be seen with your dad? no, it's..no..

by orthopedic doctors. just two aleve can keep pain away all day. back to the news. i want to say briefly and recognize that the passing of nancy reagan today. she was one of the greatest first ladies extraordinary human being. and such a wonderful partner to her husband, to president reagan.

who was without any doubt one of the great presidents of the history of the united states. and i know she would join him now in heaven and this love between the two of them will start all over again. so let's please have a moment of silence for nancy. that was arnold schwarzenegger of course leading a moment of silent prayer for first lady nancy reagan who passed away today at the age of 94. joining us right now is hallie jackson. thanks for joining us. >> hey, there, chris. one of the things when you talk about the death of nancy reagan that you think about is the reaction of the presidential candidates here. ronald reagan so much a part of their campaign speeches, so much a part of their discussions on the campaign trail and so the death of nancy reagan has had all of them reacting and

responding. listen to what john case i kasi to say earlier this afternoon. >> i do want to say a word about nancy reagan because, listen, today my wife is going with me for a couple days on the trail. i am thrilled. my staff is thrilled because they say that she keeps me in line. i have a sense that it was a little bit that way with naps city reagan and her husband. and she looked out for him every step of the way. >> and as the news started coming in about nancy reagan, you started seeing online the presidential candidate talking about this, ted cruz for example fwooeting and releasing a longer statement saying that she was first in the heart of ronnie of americans across the nation adding nancy reagan will be remembered for her deep passion for this nation and love for her husband. marco rubio as well talking about memories when he says he and his wife had an opportunity to meet her at the reagan foundation. he said she couldn't have been

more gracious calling her a true example of integrity and grace. donald trump also reacting to this calling her an amazing woman and saying she will be missed. you're seeing the reaction cut across party lines, too. bernie sanders pointing out that it's not just about politics, it's about remembering somebody who was warm and fwra issuegrac you hear again and again. from the democrats you're also seeing hat tips to her work on stem cell research, to her work withalzheimer's, the just a no to drugs campaign. so you're seeing it not just here in washington, but from those who are now hoping to carry on the reagan legacy into the white house on the republican side. >> amazing. sometimes we don't realize these things until someone tdies. with me right now by phone is anita mcbride former chief of

staff. you know the role of the first lady very well. >> sure. thank you, chris. i'm delighted to join you to honor mrs. reagan. >> what do you think about her, how was she seen by her successors? >> well, i think just like as there is a club of former presidents, there really is a small club of these women who have served as a partner to the president. and only they truly understand what it's like to be in those shoes, to really be the person most invested in the president's success. it's just a very different role than any other adviser and any other confidant. so they truly understand what each other goes through in the white house. >> can you tell the influence or is it kept as a single light between husband and wife, can you tell when the first lady has had some impact, has had her

voice heard? >> there is no question that this is the first person they talk to in the morning and the last person they talk to at night. and of course they share thoughts, they share their ideas. and share opinions. s will mrs. reagan famously always said i have better antenna sometimes than ronnie does.will mrs. reagan famously always said i have better antenna sometimes than ronnie does. so she was not shy about that.s sometimes than ronnie does. so she was not shy about that.i than ronnie does. so she was not shy about that. she cared about him and who was working for him and the impact they had on his legacy. and i just think of course we know of examples where of course mrs. reagan's influence was important to the president. you heard that with secretary schultz even talking about the relationship with gorbachev. of course that is one area. another of course was her

influence which they were jointly cared very much about entertaining and using the white house stage as a diplomatic venue. and they were excellent partners at that. >> isn't it amazing how nancy ray begeagan kept up? every time i talked to her, she was always quite keen on knowing exactly how the players were behaving in washington for better or worse. she loved scuttlebutt. loved it. who doesn't, but she loved it. >> she was very interested in politics. of course she left washington, but washington never entirely left her. i mean, politics is a big part of her life for many years of her marriage. and i think she did pride herself on knowing what was going on. and she appreciated too when she was first lady in the white house meeting with friends outside of the white house and people bringing information to her. that was really important to have your finger on the pulse of what was happening around you.

it's extremely useful to the president, as well. >> when i had dinner with her one time at one of those old hollywood places, beverly hills place where she and her husband used to go all the time. >> jason's? >> exactly. sometimes it was the bellaire country club. she had a lot of favorite haunts. but mrs. reagan, i'll tell you everything that is going on in d.c. if you'll tell me what it was like in the old days. and it was a great trade. because she was tell me about hanging out with sinatra and dean martin and she told me i love teen because he's the only guy who could stand up to frank. anita mcbride, thanks for a joining us. >> thank you for having me and for honoring mrs. reagan. >> we'll have more on the life and times of nancy reagan coming up next. this is joanne.

whose long dayis sheldon setting up the news starts with minor arthritis pain and a choice. take tylenol or take aleve, the #1 recommended pain reliever by orthopedic doctors. just two aleve can keep pain away all day. back to the news.

say no to drugs and say yes to life. >> if you have to die for something, this sure as hell ain't it. >> starting to tell about nancy ray began a reagan and back in 1981 when he was shot and nearly killed, he got to the hospital in three minutes thanks to jerry parr. if he hasndn't, he wouldn't hav made it. and he's in the hospital in

intensive care, a big shot senator from the south snuck into see him and nancy said somebody has come in and disturbed him? so she decreed no one was to see him for days. he recovered rather quickly and about three or four days later, jim baker and nancy decided to have a ritual opening to reagan and they decided the first person to see him was the leader of the opposition, tip o'neill. and tip went into see him and was kind of overwhelmed by what a bad condition reagan was in, people thought he was better off than that but the great scene and the only other person in the room saw these two guys down on their knees together, holding hands and they were reciting the 23rd psalm together. things were better back then. and nancy reagan was the one that made sure things kept on that level of dignity and

civility. and i think it had a lot to do with the legacy of her husband on matters like that that seemed to be so important today because we don't have those matters anymore. for more on the former first lady, let's go to kelly o'donnell who is at the white house. >> well, as you were telling that story, i'm reminded of the photo i just stopped to pay attention to inside the white house briefing room. it's there all the time. i've seen it for years. but i stopped for a moment because it is a photo that shows president reagan, mrs. reagan and james brady about that and of course he was gravely wounded on the same day president reagan was injured by gunshot in that assassination attempt. and when they renamed the briefing room as we use as reporters day in and day out for the questions and answers with the presented secretary over several administration, they renamed it the bready believing

room in briefing room in honor of james brady. so it is a reminder that it was a generation ago the home to the reagans. and there are aspects of their life, the official portrait of mrs. reagan is in one of the public spaces of the white house. so when special visitors come, they have an opportunity to see that. and i almost wonder if the white house will perhaps do something in honor of her at the site of that portrait inside the white house. today we've been hearing so many reflections from public officials who had opportunities to meet mrs. reagan or admire her over the years as well as of course the president and first lady. the president is back here at the white house after some time on the golf course today. he and mrs. obama put out a lengthy statement acknowledging their connection to nancy reagan it in particular about that understanding of how difficult

it can be to live in the white house. as i'm standing with you here right now, there is a protester using a megaphone just outside of the gate. and he's been going at it for quite a while as they do on every day on a variety of topics. but if you're a resident in that building, you actually can hear that from the inside. and so the life of the white house is something that connects first families regardless of politi politics, separate from politics, just the experience of living here. so there will be i'm sure many commemorations of nancy reagan here at the white house. chris. >> how would you like to wake up to that racket every morning. what a country. you can yell at the president and he actually hears you. thank you very much, kelly o'donnell. with me now, kate anderson brower author of the residence. you are an expert on what goes on in the mansion, in the executive mansion, the white house. >> yeah, i thought it was really interesting how the resident staff spoke about nancy reagan.

one usher told me that he would wander up at the end of the day and he would find president reagan and nancy reagan sitting there watching who's the boss on tv with the tv cranked up because the president wasn't able to hear so well and having dinner on trays and holding hands. and it's moments like that, nobody would ever see that, it wasn't public. and the president would talk about how when he was sitting in the oval office, he would scooch down in his chair so that he could sit in his window seeing the first lady sitting and looking at him. so their relationship was very close, it was not put on at all. and i think something else that anita mcbride mentioned is the sisterhood of first ladies. someone like hillary clinton felt it was unfair for nancy reagan was criticized for spending close to $200,000 on a new set of white house china. hillary clinton said we needed new china, this is the china that we use for stadinners.

. and jackie kennedy had a lot of respect for nancy reagan. so it really crosses party lines. they have a sense of camaraderie and respect for one another regardless of whether they're republican or democrat. >> isn't it amazing that the president of the united states who leads this country, watches regular television. not just "downton abbey," but watches regular 8:00 to 11:00 commercial television. they would sit down with tv dinners and actually sit what most americans do, come home, have a beer, light a cigarette or just have a tv dinner and they tip o'neill was like that. they once -- i once had dinner with tip and larry grossman and all they talked about was the lineup of the golden girls and all this stuff. amazing how people at the top lead the most regular middle class lives culturally. >> it's true. i think that is one of the things and the humanity of these people. and like you said, another interesting thing about nancy

reagan and ronald reagan's relationship was this deep love that they had for each other and de during tassassination attemp, nancy reagan came back to the white house and went to the game room on the third floor of the residence to go get his favorite potential and bring to him will in the white house -- back in the hospital, rather, and she fell off of the ladder that she climbed because she didn't want to ask anyone for help and she broke a couple ribs. it was never told in the press, but her love for him was so intense, she never complained about her own pain. she wanted to make his hospital room nicer and more comfortable for him. so she brought his favorite photo to him in the hospital and broke a couple ribs in the process and never told nianyone. so the relationship wasn't an apgt. a lot of political couples seem like it might be an act and this was not. >> some day i will find out your secret for getting people to talk. >> well, you do it.

>> you are really good. thank you so much. writes about inside the white house well. joining me by phone is stewart spencer, former ronald reagan campaign manager. a friend of the reagan family. stewart, it's an honest on to have you on. >> good to talk to you again, chris. >> the stewart spencer. tell us about ronald and nancy reagan and at the went for governor ship and then of course the presidential races in '76 and '80. >> well, be 51 years this may when i first met them. they wanted to run to governor and came to my partner and i bill rosh beberts and we thepsp months in their living room because they were really naive and we talked politics to three

honesty moc months. nancy was a great listener and she asked good questions and never really changed from that. >> who had the idea to just have him go up and down the coast north and south of california and sort of a tryout run before announcing? i don't think it's been done since, this let the voters city whether they like you and then say i guess they like me, i'll rub run. >> it was part of our strategy. we didn't know what kind of strategy he was going to be.ub . >> it was part of our strategy. we didn't know what kind of strategy he was going to be.run. >> it was part of our strategy. we didn't know what kind of strategy he was going to be. he was articulate, but what we sold him on was the idea of doing a trial run so to speak, trial campaign and never announce until january. and so we basically ran a campaign for six months before he announced in january that he would run for governor. and naturally everything worked out really well. funny incidents happened to us.

we'd be in a town and reagan being out of show business would say what are we doing here, nobody lives here. people are in santa monica. well, you explain to him that, well, this is like show business. you always got to take the show out of town before you bring to broadway. that he understood. p. >> speaking of out of town, they have had to make some brutal decisions getting rid of don rebegan. nancy was the head of that. he wrote a letter of resignation and that was the end of him. and in '80 when he lost iowa caucuses to george bush senior. and then john sears was out by the night of the new hampshire primary. these decisions are tough to make. and she was part of them, right? >> she's a part of all those kind of decisions. he was the guy with the belief system that wanted to implement something in the world, she was the personnel director that

brought the people around him that would implement the successful victory. that was the way she operated. and she only had one criteria and it was good one. and that is are they going to work off ronnie's belief system or are they going to work off their own belief system. >> that's a tribute to jim baker who became the best chief of staff because he understood that the word was staff, not chief. he understood he have working for a guy and nancy liked him will and they could do the work together. what a great relationship that was. thanks to naps s ts to nancy. >> because i remember my discussion with her in the closing days of the campaign. she asked would he work for our agenda or his own, and i said he will work for yours, don't worry. >> that was a greaeat mid seaso

>> nancy reagan reflecting on her relationship with her husband. let's go to joe fryer, he's outside the reagan library at simi valley, california. where are we going now? i historian. evan thomas and he's a former editor at news week and presidential historian. you start tonight and i think nancy reagan once said to me that alzheimer's was worse than the shooling because she lost her company. she lost the company of ronald reagan. all of those -- what do you think about the fact that he just said good-bye to the public? that was -- >> service so graceful. he wrote that wonderful letter in his own hand, still strong hand saying he was beginning this long good-bye, this long journey into darkness really which is what alzheimer's is. how terrible that was for nancy. she described lying in bed with him holding his hand, still

strong but he gradually drifted away. alzheimer's announced in '94 and he didn't die for another decade. but she stood by him and she always did. she said she never wanted to be more than five minutes away from him. she always stood by him. so characteristic of her. >> yeah, and i remember this scene. john, there's the scene where they were sitting at a park just relaxing. the secret service was around him and he couldn't understand why everybody was paying attention to him. he had been president. >> yeah, there's another scene that was reported i think in the new york times where he's watching old videos of people of the past and he -- he wonders who that man at the top of the steps of air force one is. george schultz whom you just spoke to came and called and left and he -- president reagan turned to nancy and said, you know, he was a very important

man once, that man who just came in. so there's a sense of tragedy about the way president reagan went, but she was always there. >> well, i guess there's just something very democratic about alzheimer's. it strikes with the same classic pattern. >> and to see a president who had all his wits about him and have to give way to that beautiful -- as evan said, that beautiful letter that he wrote. >> that letter that was almost poetry. >> and in which he says roughly that he says you know, the hardest thing is going to be to imagine as he was imagining the toll that this will take on nancy, which of course turned out to be the case. and he lived on for ten years as evan and john have described and you've seen mrs. reagan in recent years. i saw her a little bit. i don't think she ever recovered from this. the last 12 years of her life were very sad and to some extent

it's the adverse of having that close a marriage. i remember a couple of years ago i asked her, do you get to travel at all? she says i don't really want to travel. i just want to stay home here in los angeles. makes me feel closer to ronny. >> she kept a social life. she was very well received and welcomed all the time by the son of charlie wick who was head of usia and they were very close and that whole family came part of her family as well and the late merv griffin was a pal. they're very good pals. the guy solder her flowers. she had a lot of -- even in her late years i think she really kept up the clip and -- >> elizabeth taylor. >> that's right. they went out to dinner a few times. >> she did have a great style. at the end of the day they're

just ready to go and i think she managed to live a full life until the very end, i think. >> 94 is not a bad time. >> i think as you were saying, she was absolutely up on the latest developments in american politics in washington. >> yeah. >> i remember, talking to her i was always embarrassed at how little i knew about what was going on in washington. she worked the telephone in a way that other presidential candidates now work twitter. >> uh-huh. >> she had a few targets of interest too. how's that for phrasing something? not on her hit parade. there were some people that were not on her parade but others who were. i think she knew how to compete, and competition is a big part of life and she was ready to compete against barbara bush, anybody that might have come up against her and had to share space with her.

>> her husband believed in the virtues of a free market and capitalism and so did she. >> let me ask you, you had done a great book on nixon and talk about this just briefly, the direction of the republican party, how about that for a current event question? take it from nixon through reagan to now. where are we headed? >> reagan and nixon are rolling over in their graves because both reagan and nixon understood populism. they both rode that wave themselves. they knew how to exploit fear as well as hope, but -- but both reagan and nixon knew how to get things done. with your old boss, reagan with your old boss, they made deals. nixon may have had hard line populous rhetoric, but he made deals with a democratic senate. nancy reagan understood this. she pushed her husband to get along with the soviet union.

he was a hard line communist but nancy reagan understood you had to reach out to your enemies so both reagan and nixon were both able to do that. the current crowd, hard to say. maybe trump will turn out to be a deal maker. nobody really knows because he's never had the job before. not in public life. i'm sure that -- i'm sure that nixon and reagan would be worried today. >> i think reagan, nancy and ronald reagan understood the cold war was to end it. not taking moscow or taking berlin or tokyo. it was to end the war peaceably and they did it and they get a lot of credit. thank you. greatest historians. stay tuned for more coverage of the death of nancy reagan and the latest on the 2016 race of course. you both have a perfect driving record.
