the only problem with the ronald reagan statement about latinos is it is very ignorant, as if they do not understand what is important to them. latinos understand where they stand on this immigration debate. the party could sell all day long, try to pull them all day long, but on the issue is the party is wrong and that is why they're not getting the votes, yes? >> well, not really. the problem with the immigration debate is is oversimplified. the media, i think, has simplified this issue, trying to say republicans are a anti- immigration and anti hispanic. at the same time, latinos are not happy with the republicans making outrageous statements. support for barack obama among latinos has gone down dramatically since the beginning of the year. you are right, latinos are very independent. what ronald reagan tried to say is we need to reach out to them to explain our views because they don't understand sometimes where republican stand. tavis: but on this issue, alfonzo, with a hispanic community and the rest of us, we do know where republican stand on this. >> no, who was the last to pu

when i was there, i would go to ronald scompreag say hey mr.your people this is your legislation, have you agreed to this. get some of these votes. and he would, because ronald reagan wanted history to be viewed about his presidency as a success. host: as i recall, o'neal wasn't always wild about you in effect cooperating for the white house. guest: no, no. but that was always, with my conservative friends. and as chairman of the committee, you meet a lot of conservatives. host: did they have ways or means? >> they have both really. the fact of the matter is, if you analyze by voting record they would say jesus, dan yirkse you have as liberal a voting record as anybody. but can you imagine how more liberal it would be if i wasn't there to cut off some of the wild-eyed notions that some of my colleagues have in i have to stop there to get votes. getting votes was the most important thing. that is something i want to bring up. we talk about this word, this word conspiracy. in 1984, reagan was reelected. in 1984, he figured he was going to have a

reagan. >> rose: and ronald reagan who said it-- >> this is ronald reagan's dream. >> rose: which hesaid at reykevich. >> the dream and the reason for making this movie is to inspire people to have this issue raised to the top of the political agenda. it is something that is one of the most depressing things facing us right now in our lifetime, even though it doesn't affect our everyday life in terms of jobs. and to sort of help the politicians understand this is what people want and to kind of create the wind behind their backs. the start treat set beginning, but there's more to go-- >> rose: are you more hopeful today because of the start, because of what president obama has done, the nunn order, what that group has done? >> the nunn group has been fantastic. as you know, they almost initiated this in 2007 with the op-ed article-- >> rose: right in the wall street journal. >> and the follow-up in 2008. these are not lefty pansies, these guys, and there are many others. and george shuttle supports the start treaty and secretary-- >> rose: perry. >> perry and others, they support thi

ken duberstein served as ronald reagan's chief of staff from 1988 to 1989. he is chairman & ceo of the duberstein group. i am pleased to have both of them back on this program. so where do you think he is, john? >> well, look, i think he's gotten, first of all he inherited an enormous financial crisis. and economic crisis when he came into office. and he set about, i think, trying to lay the foundation for long-term economic success and the success of his presidency. and on that score i would say that he's doing, you know, he's done substantially well, better than any president in recent history. i think that the passing of the recovery act that saved or created a couple million jobs. passing financial regulatory reform, health-care reform, those are foundational elements but he's paid a price in doing. he used up a lot of capital and i think his polling numbers reflect the fact that he's been engaged in that enterprise of passing that big legislation. if the economy recovers as i think will, if jobs start growing, like president reagan, like president clint

where the basic goal was brick unions and send jobs overseas and unless we reverse that trend was ronald reagan's program let's be clear what i was i mean all right if you are your brother you go you have a control you're a he said no no you're literally you know the jesuit already i want to stimulate all of you did i mean he said you know you saw the biggest match of i'm going to take her out on reagan doing that now let me let me ask you a good story you know let me give you a good story my mother my mother ninety. three were due to folks wagon auto plant auto union plant she's making thirteen dollars an hour she got laid off ninety three this is new twenty seven years ago went back to school got a bachelor's degree did all the right things that every free market economist says and now she's still not even making thirteen bucks an hour and she's four thousand dollars and the little guy union contracts that are monitoring these more these benefits that are not found in the private sector the post office last week announced second quarter they lost three point five billion dollars billio

[applause] because, ronald reagan could have said that and a generation of americans can lose freedom for a long time. freedom is easier to hold onto that it is to get back. this big government extra agenda that not even all the democrats in washington will support, the democrats and independents and republicans in missouri will say that that is not who we want to bayberry we want to be the united states of america. we want to be a country that stands for freedom and the world. we want to be a country that does not with government had a people, that puts people ahead of government and works to create private sector jobs that insure the future of our families in a free society.

i know one of the callers suggested that ronald reagan exported jobs. i have a real issue with that. if you go back and read his winds of freedom speech -- where the middle class would rise up around the world and create world peace if we got rid of the tariffs, that is a real progressive democratic idea and not a republican conservative idea. and the results of those actions, is our middle class was destroyed and the jobs are gone. that is where we are. i suppose things like george h. w. bush's national standardization for education which is a local issue. it does not fall into the powers of the federal government. and his son, who turned a military action into a war without congressional approval for war, military action, turned it into an all out war that is still not over, never funded it, just put it on the credit card, put in medicare prescription -- these are progressive things. i think the final thing that made people snap was tarp was everybody called up their congressmen and senators and said no to tarp and they voted for it anyway. all of the

i was proud to be a member of the republican party of abraham lincoln or ronald reagan for teddy roosevelt. lincoln was the great demands a pager and a man who said the second inaugural address with malice toward none and charity for all. that kind of passionate conservatism appealed to me. there was a level of civility that i think it is very important. it is consistent with the way i was raised by my mother and father. when it got to the point where the party said you are not conservative enough and then to give further and said maybe you are not pure enough, i am like, wait. this is not something i recognize. for want to be careful here. i do not think that is where all republicans are. that is where some activists are. i think that most republicans take that more civil viewed as do most democrats, as do most independence for their -- independents. i think it was an evolution and the more punitive toward school teachers. that is something that drove me in that direction. it just feels a lot more comfortable being an independent and speaking your mind and a straightforward and the more c

this is an argument clear back from ronald reagan. that administration decided that was not a very good path to follow. it does not mean the argument is over, so each time arms control comes up, you have some of these strains. >> will be turned into a political football ahead of the midterms in november, particularly with the former presidential candidate, governor romney, saying passage of this would be the worst foreign- policy that president obama could make? you obviously don't agree with that, but it has brought it into the realm of politics. how concerned are you that partisan politics could crater this? but i don't think it will. there is knowledge among senators that this is very serious. being able to have boots on the ground, to verify and visualize what the russians are doing, is critically important. for the moment, we have a little suspense here, the agreement between presidents has allowed this to continue. they are on the ground, still taking warheads of missiles, destroying submarines, just as we have been doing for 19

the history of the presidency of ronald reagan has shown them wrong.ers and applause] and now, current history in the making by governor bob mcdonald of virginia is showing them wrong.

[applause] now you may recall that the "washington post" said that bob mcdonald was too conservative and he could not govern. and indeed, following his inauguration, governor mcdonald was immediately met with an historic budget shortfall, $1.8 billion left by the prior administration, and an expected deficit of $4.2 billion. that is a major challenge for a state the size of virginia. however, governor mcdonald by holding in line -- the line on discretionary spending be and working with

ronald reagan is clear about it. the fact is, if the total basis of your liberty is that you happen to be human, what the human next to you disagrees? by what model to you have a right because you happen to be human? this is an enormously slippery slope. what made america extraordinary -- lincoln is the person who presented the country on the declaration of independence. if you're right to come from god, then no adolf hitler, no joseph stalin, know fidel castro has the right to come in and take your rights because their god-given rights, and only god can only hold you accountable for being a citizen. and now you and your conscience have to decide what citizenship means, not the state, not the politicians, not the judge, not the bureaucrats. it is fundamental to what liberty in america has survived at times when it has disappeared in other countries.
