the beginning this was no reagan human rights policy. it's interesting, the beginning of the reagan administration was kind of like the beginning of the george w. bush administration in that there was a feeling that this was democratic stuff. this was lefty stuff. this was soft thinking. we're not going to fall into that trap again. but in the reagan administration, by the end of, certainly, by the end of a year and a half when secretary schultz came on, reagan developed a human rights policy, a conservative human rights policy that ultimately led, particularly in the second term, to an extremely active democracy promotion policy. and one of the things that i think is very important here is the criticism we made of carter was in part. he had a human rights policy, he didn't have a democracy policy. in other words, what we used to say was it's good to get people out of jail, you know, political prisoners, but they can lock them up faster than we can get them out. the solution to these kinds of problems in the soviet union or anywhere else can't be endless american intervention or efforts at human rights intervention. it is the development of

i have three quick questions, one is you comment on the incident that occurred under the reagan administration where the bombing of the airlines in grenada. >> barbados, you mean? >> know, in grenada. in which colin powell with the reagan administration, he's a native and his people are from grenada. what would cause him to not challenge or to even think twice about bombing the airport or bombing airports in the airstrip in grenada in which to place under the reagan administration. second question is that you mention the belgians in the congo and then to was bombed when patrice lumumba was working very diligently to run the belgians out of the contest, he had relationships and sitdown talks with a cruise ship, under the kennedy administration, they saw that perhaps patrice was leaning towards socialism and ultimately that administration was very instrumental in killing patrice lumumba. and lastly, what marcus garvey in his efforts in the black star line. you mentioned the contact. did he have any serious relationships with a sovereign nation on the continent to where he could then actually cul

during the reagan tax cuts. >> the tax foundation center -- >> hold on a second. >> i'm going to give you the hard facts. during the reagan administrationverage on compound growth rate. >> you're talking about the boom. >> during the clinton administration. >> we had a big boom in reagan year. >> economic growth was 3.8%. i am not trying to give you a study or anything. these are the hard facts. that actual growth was faster during the clinton administration. >> they raised taxes, right. >> and, by the way, during the reagan administration was huge. 70% -- >> gentlemen, we have to leave it there. i feel as though we haven't resolved the issue. but you both have presented -- >> everybody is going to benefit! >> -- your cases. that would be interesting. >> i don't disagree with that. everybody is going to benefit. some benefit more. >> good. let's do it then! >> agreement. stephen, anthony, thank you. >> thanks, alisyn. have a great day. >> you, too. >>> on the military front, u.s.-backed forces are driving isis out of raqqa. fighting in that syrian city is nearing its end, we're told. we have breaking details about the battle to liberate

that was what we started to do in the reagan administration. it can't treat less on the individual case and more on the question of democratic systems in this reagan was creating the national endowment for democracy. to promote the expansion of the democratic system. i tried to take it through after reagan through clinton and the first bush and then we end up in the obama administration. i was very critical of. i think one criticism is there was not much attention to it. as you think of china secretary of state clinton made it clear from the first day that she just wasn't interested in human rights in china and it would be subordinated to a lot of other real american interest there egypt, we have no human rights policy. into the budgets reflect that. it steadily came down. in the obama years. i would argue and i head in the blog that you see in the case of cuba and iran what i would call highly ideological foreign policy the american crimes of the past and largely ignoring the current human rights violations of those regimes. thus president obam

she also covered the reagan administration, and george h.w. bush. david valdez and diana walker are actively involved in our program. they both belong to our advisory council here at the briscoe center. >> what do you hope viewers will take away after watching these interviews? dr. carleton: the importance of photojournalists and news photographers, documentary photographers, they go by various names. they self identify in different ways. they are all photographers. but the value of their work, not only for the news, illustrating the news, but also as historical evidence these photographs , capture and document an amazing array of extremely important processes and events and personalities. so i hope the public appreciates the work that they do. they see their work every day on television and newspapers and so forth. i hope that they would do more than just appreciate the photograph but appreciate the photographers themselves. >> don carleton is the executive director of the university of texas at austin's dolph briscoe center for american history. th

declassified over 200 documents regarding intelligence on the soviet union that the cia provided the reagan administration. included were video briefings graded by the director of intelligence for policy makers. up next on "reel america," one of those briefings titled soviet meetings portrait of the united states. a nine minute video from about 1986. >> [speaking russian] the people don't have power in your country. what you have is crime, sadism and unemployment. and don't think you're young people do anything but harm to their country. ♪ >> "beat it" was an unprecedented hit. ]>[speaking russian >> the americans are preparing for war. we don't want more, we are preparing for self-defense. america tries to supply other countries with more and more armaments. what do they need all those weapons for? ♪ >> [speaking russian] >> our tv can always be trusted. i would never trust american tv, all of those channels and different programs. >> in recent years, the soviet media has said much about the american way of life and its portrait of america is a dark one. it is designed to convince the soviet people that

it took years for the reagan administration to get taxes done. i've been here ninth months. i really believe that we have a very good chance and i think mitch feels the same way of getting the taxes done hopefully fairly long before the end of the year. >> shepard: mitch mcconnell step up after that to say the goal is to get it done this year, which is new, shep. he hasn't said that before. >> shepard: john roberts at the white house. and then there's healthcare. president trump says republicans will again try to pass a healthcare bill next year and he's confident they'll have the votes. he says they have the votes now or probably do, but they don't or they'd take the vote. they didn't have the votes when the senate tried to pass a bill. earlier today, the president said there's no such thing as obamacare anymore. also not true. he suggested reporters should stop writing about the affordable care act. >> obamacare is finished. it's dead. it's gone. it's no longer. you shouldn't mention it. it's gone. there's no such thing anymore. i said this years ago. it's a concept that co

their losses the most since the reagan administration, but the vice president of baseball operations made it clear today the organization is not planning to rebuild. njured derek >> we had a last place season. that can happen in sports. just like you have a lost year in life. but we're not last place people. and we're not a last place organization. we're the furthest thing from that. this isn't a blow it up or a rebuild, we hope it's a reset. >> i love him. the raiders are ready to move on with e. j. manual at quarterback filling in for derek carr, but they say as long as the players do their jobs, everything in raider nation will be fine. >> farm your own land, man. here in the locker room, as far as football is concerned, everybody just does their job and everything will be just fine. don't try to do too much, nobody try to be a hero now that derek is down. he didn't retire, he's still here. >> what did chicken little say ken? the sky is falling. they're 2 and 2. carr will come back, and manual is an experienced back up quarte jack: why am i sitting here at jack: this ridiculously

the tax plan would lift the economy to heights not seen since the reagan administration. e senate voted 50-47 to move ahead on a budget plan. setting up a vote later this week to pass the 2018 budget which would prevent republicans to pass tax cuts later this year. gallaudet talked to $1.5 trillion on top of the national debt over the coming decade. you can obviously push tax cut. how you pay for them is always a tricky question. lauren: harvey went dean has resigned from the board of the weinstein company. the boards that are ratified its decision to fire harvey, ceo of the company he cofounded. weinstein has been accused of, sexual assault and harassment by at least 30 women but he denies having non-consensual with anyone. trained his brother, bob weinstein now accused of sexual harassment by a female producer. this allegedly happened at spike tv. spike tv now investigating allegations against bob weinstein. lauren: from rms, katrina shish and film critic mike sargent joins us now. good to see both of you. this is one of those stories you just don't know where to begin.

of exxon mobil almost as much as george schultz from the reagan administration when he was the c.e.o. of again another major contractor of the middle east knows it so well that he knows that qatar is not involved in any of the incitements. or support for terrorism that he's accused of and also knows that there is change. in qatar without a green light from the united states is simply a no go area and hence the i think present trump was convinced at last by his foreign policy establishment that what riyadh i would obvious doing not probably i would dubey is not in america's interest and hence this crisis needs to be a dissolve this should be no regime change in a country where there is a huge american base the biggest american base in the middle east the center of the fight against terror and so forth so at this point in time adrian all what we know is so the arabia and the united arab emirates as well as egypt need to climb down the tree need to climb down the ladder i think circle to tell us in is in very general order to give them a hand. to climb down the out there and try to arriv

we saw it in the reagan administration. the reagan administration came in with a plan to roll back desegregation, they ended as many desegregation agreements as they could in that time. and if they couldn't end them they entered into very, very narrow agreements that we still live today. so, we know how bad it could be. we know it would be desperately dangerous. we also know that our schools are radically segregated today. if we don't act, things will not get better. we also know what could happen. we know from the apex in civil rights enforcement before the obama administration, but the apex in civil rights enforcement in schools in the middle 1960s and beginning of 1970s allowed for meaningful integration in schools across the country, including throughout the south. meaningful integration that began many years after brown versus board of education but actually began to be the lived experience of students in schools. we don't see that anymore because the reagan administration ended with a purpose, ended meaningful desegreg

i have three quick questions one is that could you comment on the -- distinct that occurred on reagan administrationwhere the bombing the airlines in granada in which -- >> in granada. with the reagan administration and he's a native his people are from granada what would -- what would cause him to not challenge or to even think twice about bombing the airport -- in the bombing the airport in the airstrip in granada in which you know took place under reagan administration. the second question, is that you mention belgium and the congress go and it too was bombed was working very diligently to run the belle they have talks with cruise ship under kennedy administration they saw perhaps leaning to socialism ultimately that administration was very instrumental in killing -- [inaudible conversations] , and lastly was marcus in effort with the uni and black starline and you mention the contact did he have any serious relationship with a sovereign nation continent where he was actually cultivating a relationship that could have bridged gap in our struggle and if so -- with the political wizardry of marcus

mcclintock said was true about the initial phases of the reagan administration. at the end of the reagan administration the national debt had almost tripled and he had been forced to raise taxes a couple times in the interim. so, again, we can argue about how positive taxes were in -- cutting taxes were in the reagan administration but the end result wasn't particularly good for the american economy. . with that i yield three minutes to the gentlelady from illinois, distinguished member of the budget committee, ms. schakowsky. the chair: the gentlelady is recognized for three minutes. ms. schakowsky: i thank ranking member yarmuth for yielding. who wins in the republican budget? same old, same old. millionaires, billionaires, large corporations. the republican budget paves the way for their plan, which gives 80% of its tax cuts to the top 1% of americans. while 30% of middle class households making between $50,000 and $150,000 a year would actually see a tax increase. this according to the nonpartisan tax policy center. it slashes $1.5 trillion from medicare and m

delegation to the nation in the reagan administration. he served as consultant to the pontifical consul for the family of pope john paul ii and pope benedict. he held the distinguished fulbright chair and return to l.a. as a visiting professor. in other words, he has been active as a scholar and teacher abroad in international forums. he taught for many years when he has not been abroad, but he has been active also in consulting on the drafting of legislation for the legislature in ohio on matters ranging from international trade from federalism to fetal heartbeats and immersed himself more fully in the life of a law as lived -- i know he has served as an active judge in the municipal court in lakewood, ohio, so it of then a grand blending arts of rendering justice on the world stage and on the rights in wrongs of ordinary folk the neighborhood. so would you join me in welcoming a good friend?

we know it's devastating because we saw it in the reagan administration. the reagan administration came in with a plan to roll back desegregation. they ended as many desegregation agreements as they could in that time, and if they couldn't end them, they entered into very, very narrow agreements that we still live today. so we know how bad it could be. we know that it will be desperately dangerous. we also know that our schools are radically segregated today. if we don't act, things will not get better. we also know what could happen. we know from the apex in civil rights enforcement before the obama administration, but the apex in civil rights enforcement in schools in the middle 1960s and beginning of 1970s allowed for meaningful integration in schools across the country, including throughout the south. meaningful integration that began many years after brown versus board of education but began to be the lived experience of students in schools. we don't see that anymore. we don't see that anymore because the reagan administration ended with a purpose, end

don't forget, it took years for the reagan administration to get taxes done. i've been here for nine months. >> health care also a topic. the president said they are working on a measure to repeal and replace obamacare and expect maybe to have it by early next year. while standing at the podium he talked about his decision to end insurance subsidy payments and went after the hea. >> the insurance companies have made a fortune with obamacare, an absolute fortune. as you know what i did with the cuts at the end, you know, you talk about hundreds of millions of dollars a month going into the pockets of the insurance companies. and i'm ve and pause of that, people are talkinnow, democrats are talking to republicans for a short term taking care of what we will call health care. >> early in the day, in a cabinet meeting, the president also talked about a short-term fix and a long-term fix for health care, as you just heard. he renewed his attk in the morning on the high price of prescription drugs. >> the prescription drug prices are out of control. the drug prices h

inception and since it was put into place and was fought hard by many folks, particularly during the reagan administration, who wanted to have the fairness doctrine eliminated. let me very quickly explain what that is. i want to move forward quickly as well, because that's not what we're talking about today. the fairness doctrine was put in place to insure that broadcasters in television and radio had to present both sides of an issue as public trustees. and so that raised a lot of concerns by folks who felt like it was not going to be an appropriate obligation for broadcasters. it was set aside back in the 80s and this is really some people think that eliminating it gave rise to conservative radio, et cetera. but i would note here that the federal communications commission still has enormous amounts of ability to insure that the kinds of disclosure that have been in long-standing law, back to the days of piola, this was not even from the days of political campaigns, to insure appropriate sponsorship i identification. that's the issue here which is not the issue of the fairness doctrine. when you look at

it took years for the reagan administration to get taxes done. i have been here nine months. i can say the same thing for health care. if you look at obama, clinton, they were not able to get it done. president obama, after a long time was able to push it through but pushed through something that has failed badly. we are meeting with democrats and republicans now working on something special. i really believe we have a good chance. done.ting the taxes hopefully long before the end of the year. mcconnell: it is important in marcher obama care -- obama signed obamacare in march of year 2. we are going to get this done by the end of the year. president trump: we could have a long way to go but that is ok with us. >> on health care, the only problem i have is that after hearing repeal and replace, it failed. that should never happen. again, we have been doing health care for seven months. probably six months. we started in a total of six months. others were eight years and did not get it passed. doneman is going to get it long before anyone else and i think it is going to be a gre

states can i ask you one more question then dave realm of that comparison because at the time the reagan administration which rests faced with the deficit had to agree. a corporate tax increase while also resisting any cuts in defense spending do you think that kind of pattern will have to repeat itself in russia well definitely what we should repeat in terms of. approaches that we should go force ease. the environment in the rich businesses that that's if you look at the positional fresh and different ratings for example what would have been doing business trading we already within the ford you we have started thirty four years ago somewhere around one hundred is physicians we improved here that are made you can only continue to work here if you look at the water going for global competitiveness in the we're also progressing here and we're also within the top forty countries in most of the areas. you know with the other you're losing you know making things easier for the business with a small or medium sized businesses this is what together with the new lending cycle create in the way you want to forc

. >> well, in one sense it's just a continuation of tax cuts that we have under the reagan administration, under the bush administration. remember, reagan had to sign ten tax increases afterwards to get the deficit back down. this is not just a biggest tax cut in history, it's going to be the biggest increase in the deficit and debt that we have seen from any president legislated increase probably in history. i think we are talking about permanent increase, permanent annual deficit of about a trillion dollars. >> josh, i was surprised at how close that vote was in the house today and it could have been worse, obviously, if the california delegation didn't all just hold hands and say, we will vote to allow this to go forward but we know that the california delegation is opposed to the elimination of state and local deductibility. >> it was close although if you watched the vote happening what you saw was a number of members, especially from the new york area, who are waiting to see make sure that there were enough votes to pass the budget and then they went and voted no and clear that lead

i believe the divisions between conservatives and liberals was really defined during the reagan administrationwasre that, of course, i just starting to vote back then, -- you know, it was still vote by the person, not the party. but then, at the onset of the reagan administration, people who voted democrat were being accused of being socialists. they were being accused of just wanting government handouts. and the unions were basically gutted out. and all of the things that made democrat's strong were just basically deleted. that is when i really became a democrat. but i think that the democrats need to support the unions. i think that we need to really let the country know that we work hard, work hard to educate ourselves, work hard to raise our families. we are not an underclass, the way rush limbaugh stated. host: you said you became a democrat. i assume you are still a democrat. what about your friends and family? are they still as loyal to their party, if they are registered as democrat or republican? caller: no. more they beere boomers than i was just i was the youngest. around the kitche

going back before the reagan administration, it was my impression he represented foreign clients trying to dot hisi's and cross his t'ses, there are a lots of charges, a number of allegations, that he had bank account x and did not file required foreign bank acoin report, and did not indicate on his income tax return. those are things that did or did not happen, they are not questions of interpretation, we'll see how his attorneys handle it, you put that together, there is nothing in the indictment i can see about representing ukrainian political interests that anyone didn't know about in 2016, when we came on to trump campaign, did they get manafort on what i think is looks like a unrelated change, it may be yes or no, but the question is, can it force manafort to flip against trump, that would require that manafort know anything about illicit trump campaign activity with the russians ashes to, which as of this point, there not a sensitiv -- sense til sense scintilla of. >> there is no crime in collusion. >> we are brought to mr. papadopoulos, i don't wish anyone ill, really, but i rem

. >> that happened with a tax reform during the reagan administration. it has not happened since. owth forward. >> are you saying the proposal needs to be under control? >> no. but it has to be mindful of what we need to do related to our deficit. >> what would you change? >> i'm not a tax expert. i don't believe we are going to get tax reform if there is the elevation -- elimination of the taxes. that will create a bigger deficit, so we will have to find it somewhere else. one of the ways is by raising corporate tax rates from 20% closer to 25% or 27%. that is still a net positive from what we pay today and by and large, most investors and corporations would welcome that. >> you would be fine with that? >> we would be fine with that. we pay about 30% tax worldwide. wo, we need to make sure we are fair and just across the different sectors. i do believe what the president tax proposal as related to partnerships will help the small businesses quite a bit. haidi: coming up --david: coming up, a roundup of the news. straight ahead, more of the more interesting conversations. stan fisc

during the clinton administration, there were 47 people who were indicted, 14 were convicted and went to jail. but during the reagan administration there were 31. so administrations that can be successful, do have sometimes scars on them because of things like this. you don't know who this person is, or what he or she did. and until we know that, i think there might be assumption, and maybe some partisans are saying, oh, this is directly related to trump. it might not be at all. because we don't know, for example, what some of these people have done in prior lives, or even while they were involved in the campaign. >> yeah, two things. i found it to be very, very strange that today of all days, the president would be giving speeches saying that he's been cleared in the mueller investigation of russian collusion. suddenly we next hear about a sealed indictment that's been handed down. now, rod rosenstein, the assistant attorney general in charge, deputy attorney general, under the statute, has to be notified by mueller of any significant developments in the investigation. so question number one is, did that leak back

it took years for the reagan administration to get taxes done, i've been here a little more than nine months, same thing for health care, if you look at obama. first of all, look at clinton, they were not able to get it done, other administrations, they weren't able to get it done. president obama, after a long period of time, was able to push it through, but pushed through something that has now failed, failing badly. we are meeting democrat, republicans are meeting now and right now they are working on something very special. i have to tell you, i really believe that we have a very good chance and i think mitch feels the same way of getting the taxes done, hopefully fairly long before the end of the year, that is what we would like to see. go ahead. sen. mcconnell: let me add, the goal is to get it done this calendar year. obama signed obamacare in march of year two. obama signed dodd-frank in july of year two. we will get this job done and the goal is to get it done by the end of the year. [questions] pres. trump: just to finish up, we're nine months, we could have a long way to go

holiday and the reagan administration was slow to go along with that idea. in seoul were republicans. but that was part of his base. >> that was more jack kemp. >> also he introduced a bill for a medical marijuana. >> [laughter] yes. way before his time. >> people looking today with the image he has today is that the newt gingrich that he became?. >> i think he reached a point no doubt as a rockefeller republican and did 1968 but they see the liberals are not working. but it doesn't work practically in the governmental since with conservatism in the free market. so always anti-establishment. >> to stand up against the south african apartheid government he voted for the 85 civil rights act and got a lot of grief for that and it was a pretty white district that happily taking his name off the jimmy swaggart mass ted but this - - masthead but this is the newt gingrich they would recognize. >> this is the image of today. of course he would say yes side did those things of course, i would take my name off or of course, i would oppose apartheid or is in nicaragua

the status quo. ronald reagan was an actor who knew nothing. he not write his own speeches, and i worked in the reagan administration. ct now like everybody was embracing reagan, the media -- we did not have the apparatus that we have now. we did not have cable news for the most part back then, but they ridiculed reagan. reagan was ridiculed for most of his presidency, but what he tapped into was this sentiment for people in the south who for years thought the democratic party was working for the little guy. the democrats had. that's why they had the house of representatives since the 1950's all the way to 1994 unbroken hold come up they had the populist understanding. as was written about in the atlantic last october, they lost to the populist vote. he captured it. charlie: so donald trump, is he a reagan inheritor, a true populist who recognized that those like him, who believed in the same values, or is donald trump a very smart celebrity and successful businessman whose on saw opportunity and grabbed it? laura: i think going back to his early remarks about trade, and immigration, he had those two issues in the pal

that happened with the tax reform during the reagan administration. it has not happened ever since. brings growth forward and it decays forward in the future. erik: are you saying the tax reform proposal needs to be under control? larry: know, but it has to be dodful of what we need to related to our deficit. i'm: what would you change? not larry: i'm not a tax expert. i did not believe we will get tax reform if there is the illumination of deductibility of state and local taxes. we are going to have to find it somewhere else. obviously one of the ways of doing it is by raising corporate tax rates from 20% to something close to 25% or 27%. that is still a net positive versus what we paid today and i think by and large most investors, most corporations would welcome that. erik: you would be fine with that? larry: we would be fine with that. we pay about a 31% tax rate worldwide so it's fine for us. that we areake sure fair and just across all the different sectors. i do believe what the president's proposal related to partnerships -- that will help the small and medium businesses qui

reagan almost won the gop nomination. they called him a disruptor to the status quo, an actor who writeothing, who did not his own speeches, and i worked in the reagan administrationct now like everybody was embracing reagan, the media -- we did not have the apparatus that we have now, we do not have cable news for the most work but they ridiculed him. for most of his presidency, but what he tapped into was this sentiment for people in the south who for years thought the democratic party was working for the little guy. that is why they had trolley, -- they had -- the house of 19 50'statives from the all the way to 1974, the democrats had a hold on the. as it was written in the atlantic in october, they lost the contest. he captured it. charlie: so donald trump, is he inheritor, a true populist who recognized that those like him, who believed in the same values, donald trump, a very smart celebrity and successful businessman whose on opportunity and grabbed it? >> i think going back to his early remarks about trade, and immigration, he had those two issues in the palm of his hand he had a lot of democrat friends and donated to a lot of them. but i think when he cam

deputy assistant attorney general in the criminal division of the justice department in the reagan administration. victoria does great to see you again. >> good to be here lou and god bless ron desantis. lou: he kicked over this particular scam and sounded the alarm and it's extraordinary that the state before we get to the investigation that we learned that the republican leadership was wanting that investigation a year ago. >> they did that to me in benghazi also. they were quashing that investigation. lou: again i'm going to ask for a judgment here. trey gowdy is now ahead of oversight. why is he not doing something? he was the head of various committees including benghazi that produced absolutely nothing in the way of concrete results or resolutions. >> we are glad the ron desantis is doing this because he was a former prosecutor. i think he will do a great job. lou: let's turn to a gag order that prevents him from going before congress. are you surprised that the trump justice department has not let it go forward? >> i decided when i got the case and that was only a few weeks ago that the be
