ronald reagan is still a democrat.e telegrams to dwight eisenhower and urges him to seek the presidency. and he becomes, officially, a democrat for ike. a few things about that time period. he famously says i will go to korea and assess the strategy and tactics. that is what he does when he enters the oval office. fighting stops in no small part because behind-the-scenes, weight eisenhower threatens communist china with nuclear weapons. that as well as the death of stalin and other reasons, the fighting stops. now he is president and in 1953, dwight eisenhower delivers and all but forgotten speech at the united nations. he offers to turn over america's nuclear arsenal to an international agency headed under the u.n., but there is a caveat. the soviets have to agree to turn over their nuclear missiles. they refuse. that is the end of that. in the 1950's, another hot topic, terms you never have heard of, these were two offshore islands of taiwan. called then, formosa. twice during the 1950's, red china threatened to inva

ronald reagan was livid. he said that is not how you negotiate with communists, tell them you will be there for a year. you give them one week, one .5 weeks at the most, and if they are not serious, if they are using negotiations as a pretext to continue the war on their side, you escalate and fight them harder. listen to them comparing what happened when they negotiated during korea to what was happening now in vietnam. >> my statements last week about what should be done at the negotiating table. president -- eisenhower. when you sit down and negotiate with communists, keep in mind that new year's -- during that period, americans were killed. you have to recall that president eisenhower, coming in as a new president, brought an end to the negotiation. simply releasing the work that regard to states -- weapons, operation, manner of fighting, and so forth. if at a negotiations, given time, the enemy has shown no evidence or sincere desire to settle this conflict, to make peace, that they are not procrastinati

that someone turned out to be ronald reagan. >> but ronald reagan was not an easy man to convince. in 1940 act -- in 1948, the democrats asked him to run for congress. he refused. in 1962, republicans approached him about running for senate or state house. he refused. but this time, too many californians wanted him. he couldn't refuse. >> i have come to a decision that a short time ago i would have thought impossible for me to make, and yet i make it with no lingering doubt or hesitation. as of now, i am a candidate seeking the republican nomination for governor. >> did the people respond? they loved it. ♪ ♪ (applause) >> the next governor of the state of california, ronnie reagan.

when we think about ronald walters and black nationalism, ronald walters was a black lash analyst and pen africa's. he was not an imperialist nationalist. as who thought they should not have a coalition. he felt black interests were not being served within the context of american policy. even during the civil rights movement, and the great society, black power, there's always this pushback. what ronald walters is always pushing is the idea of a black agenda. when you think about the black agenda, the high point is the 1972 darius convention. you think about the black power movement. one decade of black power is a call for a radical, social, political, coach role, economic self-determination at the local, regional, national, and global level. i disagree with the author whose as black power was fundamentally reformant. there were reform elements in black power, and the nixon administration and subsequent administrations tried to take the movement hostage and really point the movement and absorb it in very specific direction. when we think about black power as reform, it is richard nixon

[laughter] dr. rowland: reagan had the last laugh because jimmy stewart was a much better movie actor, a much better movie actor. but ronald reagan has something to say. -- had something to say. ronald reagan did not need the script writers. he had something to say. audrey: after barack obama appears on the national stage, when did you start hearing echoes of reagan? when did the wheels start turning and you felt there might be some comparisons to be made? dr. rowland: it is probably obama's first inaugural is the time i thought that. i should have thought of it after the convention speech because he is -- he has an unknown state senator. no one knows who he is. he has written this. the speech is so important in his life that when he was elected president 51 months later, think about that. 51 months. he is unknown. you think rhetoric sometimes does not matter. it mattered then. he got the national attention. he wrote the audacity of hope and went on a book tour. it was the kind of book tour where he

ronald reagan of course president during the 1987 stock market crash. day. mark weinberg remembers it well. the best-selling author, close confident of ronald reagan was with him during that crisis. back with our panel as well. what i remember, mark, about president reagan at the time, i am not saying he dismissed it, but he certainly did not go crazy about it. he kind of shrugged his shoulders and expressed confidence that markets would go up, capitalism was fine, fundamentals were fine and moved on. >> that is right. he remained a confident person in the room. he thought that was his job as president. he had abiding faith in our system. he did feel bad for people that were disrupted by the loss of money and the financial planning that was associated with that. fundamentally, he believe the market would come back up and everything would be all right. he was right. >> what you make of that? that approach? >> i think it is a good approach. if you see the person in charge of the whole country getting nervous, you really get nervous. neil: i always get ner

the pacific legal foundation founded by the aforementioned ronald zumbrun was one of those groups. mountain states legal foundation founded by a colorado magnate named joseph coors and a lawyer named james watt was another. mountain states in the 1970s, watt made a name for himself by suing the environmental protection agency to try to block new fuel emission standards by defending mining companies that wanted to travel across federally protected wilderness study areas and even suing the federal government for the property damage caused by herds of government-protected wild horses. it seemed similarly appropriate, watt explained to his board of directors, that the public should pay fees to private landowners as they can only watch hopelessly as their property is used and destroyed by wild horses who are protected as national treasures in the same way that cows in india are protected as people starve. one of watts' innovations was to use legal tactics pioneered by environmentalists against them, and to try to make his own claim that he represented the greater -- right, he represente

the other thing was, they lost to ronald reagan. anybody would have lost to ronald reagan. for the democrats to beat ronald reagan, franklin roosevelt would have had to still be alive. he was not. the thing to me was maybe ill-considered to begin with. in 1988 what happened was, this echoes -- you had a big field. they want a moderate, but jesse jackson and al gore split the southern primaries. the northern states added their states and dukakis won them. . in the end it backfired and assured michael dukakis would be the nominee on super tuesday of 1988. the law of unintended consequences. peter: 21 states in 1988. it is 14 states this year. it has been a variety of states every year. they come in and they go out. carl: the party tries to control it. eight years ago they punished these states, michigan, you move up or we will not seek your delegates. come on? how do not see their delegates? the national party really has little control. they have tried to exert control. the national party tries to exert control for the most logical and healthy reason, the parties want to have

by the way serious democrats when ronald reagan was running for re-election. we have the evidence. we start with the media mob's ongoing effort to now use a virus, an infectious disease as a political weapon all-to-to bludgeon president trump yet again. i have said many times if he cured cancer they would likely want to impeach him for curing cancer. now the coronavirus is a serious disease. now, should you and your family be concerned? of course. you should be concerned about the flu. you should be concerned about a cold. you should be concerned about any health risk. should you be informed? absolutely. do we all need to take necessary precautionary steps? yes. all of us. but the coverage we are seeing from the media and the mob is beyond despicable and political. for example, sunday, you got chucky todd boasting the coronavirus could actually help president trump like the iran hostage situation hurt jimmy carter.

for the actor to live in and boulware the actor who was ronald reagan and adam smith, john locke and tocqueville with essays by henry he gave little books like the manhattan institute does andou hoped that they would be read. this actor wasn't exactly popular across ge either.r the executives didn't like the propaganda but for the few tremaining years, they couldn't stop and they were sent around to hundreds of plants to explain the future of the industry and so on and the dangers of nesocialism. maybe hydropower wasn't the only power in the future of the united states and soon enough, the actor began to take the arguments seriously. he even brought his son some stock. they cast a dark cloud over ge. the justice department was investigating the company. the new attorney general whose name was robert kennedy pulled together a strong case to fix high prices on the turbines have sold their it's about the free market even as ge cheated the american taxpayer. it's like the sox scandal when it happened to ge and national strategy fired and canceled and then retired to delray beach. ge is s

that gave out like the manhattan institute this actor, ronald reagan wasn't popular across ge eitheralking about western propaganda they complained about him but they could not stop bowl would send him all over around with the mimeographed pages with the future of industry and it might move west and so on and then they talk about the dangers of socialism and socialism the medicine is a bad idea maybe hydropower wasn't the only kind of power of the future of the united states and soon enough reagan the actor began to take the arguments seriously he even bought some ge stock so year in 1960 was a dark cloud over ge with the propaganda mill. the justice department was investigating the communist and the new attorney general robert kennedy pulled together a strong case ge was colluding like westinghouse to fix high prices the justice department went to court and the judge said the ge executive to jail so here was the propaganda department mouthing off about the free markets even as they cheated the american taxpayer. a terrible blow the company looks like the worst hypocrite in the world

next, look back to ronald reagan's presidential campaign announcement in the 1980 election. in a taped message from new york city, the former california governor talks about the economy, taxes, energy and foreign policy. the 1980agan won presidential nomination with george h w bush finishing a distant second. he then went on to defeat incumbent jimmy carter in the general election. >> ladies and gentlemen, ronald reagan. >> good evening. i'm here tonight to announce my attention to seek the republican nomination for president of the united states. i am sure that each of us has seen our country from a number of viewpoints depending on where we lived and what we have done. for me, as a boy growing up as a young boy in small towns in iowa, as a young man trying to get a start in the years of the great depression, and later in california, for most of my adult life. i have seen america from the stadium press box as sportscaster, actor, officer, soldier, officeholder and as both democrat and republican. i have lived in an america where those who have had too little to eat outnumbe

this race with china right now, we need to approach at the same white ronald reagan did when we beat the ussr. free market and with a strong national defense. it is all related. you have to be a military power. you have to be an economic power. winning this race is critical to our future and american leadership and freedom loving people all over the world. >> when people talk about a hole in society mobilization, the question is, government will be involved of course. what is the proper role of government versus the private sector? we do not want a socialist response to this. where do we divide the line between private sector and government? >> right now we have the left promoting an entire takeover of our economy. when you look at the proposal coming out of the left. that is the approach that the left always turns to. the approach that donald trump is taking right now. it is an american approach. laying out the principles that are around. freedom and individual rights and individual liberty. encouraging the innovation and the technology and the private sector. freedom loving people

new jersey owned bruce springsteen patriotic song and then there was big push back this is how ronalda lot. and then george is the only person present company included whoever war of bowtie to a bruce springsteen concert. i don't think it's that striking but apparently it is. so there was another song that merv griffin had discovered. and in 1982 and 83 come to nashville. and merv is close to mrs. reagan and then greenwood saying this and it became the reagan anthem. >> it still strikes me because i associated growing up and feeling very patriotic and certainly as a fantastic singer and writer the song moves me. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ [applause] event to speak to a great country. it was pretty incredible. and with the mid- eighties and september w 11 president reagan i never met him but i did get to know mrs. reagan a little bit and wow.
