reagan spoke up. craig: reagan really, from the mutual containment and cooperation, he is the first one really to break with the bipartisan precedent of everyone going forward from truman right up until ford. the soviet union is a thing of permanence, the berlin wall is a thing of permanence. we have to find a way to coexist. he says, we will transcend them. this is terrifying to the establishment. frank: i think that becomes evident in the 1980 campaign. he was able to realize the scenario whereby the soviet union would not be permanent, where we could utilize a combination of diplomatic and especially economic pressure to force them into places where they could not go, because they could not compete with us economically. therefore, reagan envisioned that, plus, i think, a strong ideological appeal to freedom. he always believed individuals, no matter where they were, wanted to be free and wanted the freedom that we have in the united states. that really resonated behind the so-called iron curtain wi

reagan took the advice. he offered to share the technology with the soviets publicly and essentially boxed gorbachev in and brought him back to negotiating table. this maneuver helped the negotiations continue forward and played a role until getting the soviets to agree to the inf treaty in 1987 where an entire class of nuclear weapons were eliminated. with president bush nixon privately went to china after tiananmen square tragedy, taking advantage of the goodwill that people had for him in that country. he met with chinese leadership and spoke brutally blunt language to him. ty january 9/11, he told him -- tiananmen, he told him, would be the, quote, depth with -- of the relationship with the u.s. if it happened again. upon returning home, he reported back to the president who was faced with a political crisis at home, something the president didn't want to do, something nixon didn't want to see happen. but the fact that nixon delivered the message helped diffuse the situation and helped the president out

intrinsically links president reagan and justice o'connor, and it is an honor and privilege for the reagan foundation and institute to host this forum. before we begin our celebration, i would like to express gratitude to our friends in the room who still carry the flame of our 40th president, and those who share a deep love and admiration for our first woman on the supreme court. first, thanks to the o'connor family for joining us on this historic day. thanks as well to our partners who share in our civic mission and who have helped us craft our afternoon, npr, absent, dunn and crutcher, the aspen institute, the supreme court and the library of congress. [applause] the force behind today's event is a longtime member of the reagan foundation's board of trustees, a partner at ibsen dunn andibson, crutcher, ted olson. ted served as solicitor general .f the u.s. from 2001-2004 prior to that he served as assistant attorney general and the office of legal counsel at the justice department during the reagan administration from 1981-1984, and as i've it counsel to president reagan during his seco

i remember the reagan era.one of the things that really upset me was this thing about the welfare queen. now i had no proof at the time when he was talking about it that it was not true. but i didn't really believe him. it then eventually was proven correct. it was proven wrong. the reason why i'm a democrat is because you know, to be a conservative. it's easy to be a conservative. and a republican. you guys use slogans. to get your base going. to be a democrat, you have to sit down and think things out. that takes time for some people just don't have the time. because they are working. yet we work. and we are working, taking care of families and everything that we've got to come home and digest all thisstuff . >> donald, what do you do in south bend? >> okay, i'll tell you what i do. also i'm a proud union member. i'm a mailman. and i'm in - - member. that's another thing. the current president of the united states wants to pretty much - - the post office but we don't want that to happen. >> we are running a l

meese had been involved in the reagan campaign when reagan won the presidency in 1980, and the transition was underway with the carter administration getting ready to leave and the reagan folks getting ready to come in and take over, to run the operations of the reagan transition, the incoming folks had set up a financial entity called the transition trust. and during the transition, before the start of the reagan administration, that transition trust wrote ed meese a $10,000 check. hmm, which he then promptly deposited in his own personal bank account. and what the transition trust said that $10,000 was for was something they recorded as moving expenses. now, it's, of course, kosher for there to be a reasonably well-funded effort to set up to give them office space and get all their ducks in the row and start doing briefings with the outgoing administration. but $10,000 checks for moving expenses. that's not right. and after ed meese was informed that him taking a $10,000 check from the transition for moving expenses is something that would likely be considered a crime, he took swift act

ed meese then became a staffer in the reagan white house during reagan's first time as a white house official. he got himself involved in further scandal. he came under investigation by a court-appointed special counsel, who looked at him for multiple allegations of corruption, specifically, ed meese was alleged to have given a whole bunch of different people jobs in the administration after those people had provided him various forms of financial assistance. so when ronald reagan said, after all of that scandal, that he would put ed meese in charge of the justice department and make him the top law enforcement official in the country, this good government group, you know, common cause, run by archibald cox of watergate investigation fame, they took a hard look at ed meese's record, including the independent special counsel's report on those allegations of corruption against meese as a white house official. meese was not criminally charged after that independent counsel did that investigation into him. and because he wasn't indicted, he claimed he had been totally vindicated by that

i have known two great presidents -- ronald reagan and you. i am sorry you're going through what you're going through that i what you to know that there are thatof millions of people stand with you. so god bless you. [applause] pres. trump: that is very nice. thank you are in much. bill? mike? come on. you,president pence: thank mr. president and it really is my great honor to serve alongside this president and to be able to share this moment with you attorney general meese and your wonderful family. it is extraordinary to think about the life of consequence you have lived coming alongside one american president but also being there every step of the way as this president brought forward a vision to rebuild our military, revive our economy, and re-ground the courts of this constitutional principles of limited government. and on behalf of the president and on behalf of a grateful nation, it is my honor to add my congratulations to you on the presidential medal of freedom. congratulations. [applause] pres. trump: thank you very much, everybody.

reagan was old and you don't know who comes next in a democracy. so it's a missed opportunity for me. i think a lot sounded that way. definitely george shultz felt that way. he kind of denies it. the when you look at the memorandum of conversation, most of the time he takes sides with the soviets and tries to convince reagan to strike the deal like hold on, let me summarize what you just said. are you saying you want to get rid of the nuclear weapons within ten years, really? independence fuels the conversation. so definitely he wanted a deal and then there's the press conference in one or two hours later it is on american television and he has tears in his eyes. the journalists are like you don't know what companies argue getting rid of nuclear weapons, and why didn't you do it. in the same way that this amusing conversation in the back of air force one on the way back to washington between poindexter and the journalists you have "the new york times," cbs news, everyone is there and he is telling what happens and they can't believe their eyes. so,

the reagan library was built of noncombustible material.e things on the actual property of the library that could catch fire and that is a concern which is why they have taken the extra step, if you look at the reagan library perched on the hill you will notice a couple of things. one, there's not a lot of trees in the run-up to the library because trees are highly combustible and very different that mock difficult to put out in the brush that does go up there has been taken back. in fact it's been taken down dramatically because what the reagan library does every spring as it lets the goats were on those and the goats go out there and eat all the brush. in fact just today the ventura county spokesperson told fox news they are very grateful for the fact that these goats in the reagan library staff built this natural buffer by taking out all that brush that leads up to the library so that the natural fire line against the flames that come up there. bottom line here, you look at the library and it's got air force one come it's got the marine

again, with a spokesperson at the reagan library. keep watching for that, this situation is very bad. president trump is going after the democrat impeachment pushed now that of a houseboat tomorrow on a resolution setting the rules for public hearings and an impeachment vote in total, possibly. he tweeted this. "republicans of her unified and energized in our fight on the impeachment hoax, with the do-nothing democrats, and now are starting to go after the substance even more than the very unfair process. republicans go with substance and close it out," he says. meanwhile, kevin mccarthy is attacking the heart of the impeachment inquiry. watch. >> there is no quid pro quo, there is nothing this president has done wrong. there is no impeachable offense. what they are doing now is the admit the process is a sham and they are changing the process for the worse. they are making adam schiff now the prosecutor, the judge, and the jury. >> harris: congresswoman debbie dingell of michigan, cochair of the house democratic policy and communica

in 1980, we had ronald reagan.ne of the great presidents and not only in the 20th century, but american history. extraordinary things he did. restoring america's confidence in themselves. sparking a period of economic prosperity like we had not seen before in peacetime. winning the cold war. that was an extraordinary accomplishment. >> joining the draft goldwater team was right being called from class aa harrisburg, the play for the washington nationals. >> [laughter] yes it was. >> what were you doing at the time and how did you get the call. >> i've been in washington dc doing press work for hiscr secretary. and then going to work for a small pr firm. it then came the draft committ committee, i immediately volunteered. as there press or a press assistant. i was. i was accepted that. in november of 1963, i was hired as ahi news director of the drat goldwateraf committee. and that afforded me an opportunity then when they formed the goldwater for president committee to become the director of that. off of i have say

reagan.s any of that in danger? >> all of what you just described, chris, was in danger all morning. these heroes stop the fires from hitting those national treasures. i stood on the hill with a dozen firemen who literally stopped planes about 100 yards from president and mrs. reagan's gravesite, that shows you just how close they came. the place was really in peril including air force one, the famous aircraft that is here, flames came almost up near the building to. >> chris: i want talk about that. there are a lot of places being destroyed and these fires obviously a lot of people's homes but for those of us who knew the reagan's, who admired them and have enjoyed visiting the library multiple times over the years, this feels personal. what are your emotions as you see fires fires in the smoke rushing up close to and perhaps endangering the library? >> this is a national treasure chris. it's a special place. many thousands of people come here each year to pay their respects to president and

reagan was old and you don't know who comes next in the democracy. missed opportunity for me. me. i think a lot of the diplomatic corps felt that way. and definitely george schultz felt that way, kind of denied it but when you see his, when you look at a brand of conversations, most of the time he take sides with the soviets and he tries to convince reagan to strike the deal. like you have -- hold on, let me summarize what you just said, mr. general secretary. are you saying you want to get rid off nuclear weapons within ten years? really? and then it feeds the conversation. so definitely he wanted a deal, and his reaction after the collapse off the -- the press conference in reykjavÍk, one or two hours later, it's live on american television at night, and he has tears in his eyes. he's exhausted. he can't find his words, and the journalists are e like, are you saying that you were almost getting rid of nuclear weapons?e and why didn't you do it? in the same way that this amazing -- this amazing conversation on the back of airk force one on the way b

and there's a lot of activity until reagan takes office. you hear the tip of the spear which is what we call the special forces operators predict tip of the tip's assassination. it is ultimate guerrilla warfare capacity that the cia has nina has existed since 1947. there is clearly through declassified documents and first interviews with sources about how this has evolved over time but to give you an indication of how specific it is, president eisenhower calls his assassination capacity the health alteration committee. so i have located documents in the national archive that refer to innovation for the health alteration committee. president kennedy called the executive action. jumping forward to reagan he called it preemptive neutralization. bush called it lethal direct action and obama called it targeted killing. going back to after the vietnam war and president reagan developing a capacity for preemptive neutralization and this is because we sell the first rise in terrorism. what i also found very interesting, i interview a gentleman name

right now i'm actually in the parking lot of the reagan library.ook behind me you can see some of these active flames. there was a helicopter that just passed us. they did a water drop. those flames were just going, just moments ago. lots and lots of smoke around this area. as we walked around the parking lot, you can see those flames just burning the land here. 407 acres have burned so far in this easy fire. that's what it's being called. the evacuations are underway. around here you have the ventura county school district, that's close. the library is closed. a spokesperson for the reagan library tells fox news that there are five doors across the museum that protect the displays and artifacts inside. you can see, we are just looking at some of the burned land. you can see some of the teams of firefighters out here that are working to control this. again, fighting this both by land and air. they have their houses out. again, these helicopters that just keep circling around here, doing these water drops with this strong wind. just as we've been ou

in the u.s., the reagan government repealed carter's already weak sanctions. democrats in congress force the executives to "certify" that charlotte was making progress on the case in order to allow military to military relations, so it's the democrats in congress who forced reagan to be tough on pinochet. it took a few breaks in the late 19 80's and early 1990's to reinvigorate the case in chile. the first break was a defection in 1987 of armando fernandez, the other guy in the passport photos. inhad surveilled letelier washington, had not committed a particularly serious crime. for the first time, americans are the details about pinochet's orchestration of the cover-up. onlyndez ended up spending 21 months in chilean hospitals in u.s. prisons, but it was the first conviction of a chilean military man in u.s. courts. it also seems to have led the cia to new clues that pinochet not only covered up the crime but also ordered the hit, and this is a conclusion that only came to light in 2015. in 1990, another defection of sorts confirmed fernandez's story. a forme

it was a monumental year in the reagan administration but also around the country what are some of the ways they dealt with that position? >> i think it is a transformational year he always had a traditional campaigns and never raised a lot of money and a young upstart comes along and is persuaded really doesn't need to file the petitions. he won his primary and then became a democratic nominee but the counterbalance and what he was running against were running against the idea that unemployment among the 16% strike they had all kinds of equipment and all of these things were the first to leave and what that did very cleverly i care more about washington and he cares more about being the leader. when are we going to go back to work, how come michael isn't standing up to reagan is a very clever campaign caught completely off guard by a fellow vets took all the issues including the economy and people that we really care about a lot of people are not going to turn out and they campaigned and that was a decision that was debated. he had become a more modern politician and put together a po

the reagans' own malibu ranch burned back in the day.he folks at the museum say they've never seen anything like this. get a load of this valley. when we arrived about 90 minutes ago, it was burning on the far ridge line. in just that short amount of time, these 60 mile an hour santa ana gusts pushed this thing. fire crews just pulled out of there because they have neighborhoods below us that are now in danger. you can see these hot spots kicking back up just within the last few minutes since cal fire pulled out of here. it's really astounding the speed and unpredictability of these santa ana gusts. cal fire has never managed to contain this kind of fire in the history of the state. all they can do is wait for the weather to shift. this one was about 15 acres when we started. now it's in the hundreds of acres and headed toward more residential areas here. the library itself, they believe is pretty safe. obviously crews wouldn't have pulled back. it's fireproof, it's earthquake proof. what's interesting is that every yar they bring in her
