ronald reagan: a word about loyalty. fareed zakaria: the party of reagan had been transformed into the party of trump. donald trump: witch-hunt, witch-hunt, scam, hoax. fareed zakaria: a party likely unrecognizable to the man who was once the right's greatest hero. crowd: fight for trump! fight for trump! fight for trump! fareed zakaria: coming up, my thoughts on america first the way i approach work post fatherhood, has really trying to understand the generation that we're building devices for. here in the comcast family, we're building an integrated in-home wifi solution for millions of families like my own. in the average household, there are dozens of connected devices. connectivity is a big part of my boys' lives. it brings people together in meaningful ways. and now for some closing thoughts on america first. 1945 is a bright line in world history. the century before it was grim-- world war ii, world war i, the boer war, the balkan wars, the russo-japanese war, the sino-russian war, the spanish-american war, the fr

and this was first this tradition was first begun in the 1980s under the presidency of ronald reagan. and here you can see in microcosm, arriving in black and black tie as the american president leaving with black suit green hat, green badge. as an irish american president. so in some respects, there is a performing of ethnicity going on here on part of ronald reagan, at least in the early years of his presidency. indeed, while some of the mid-afternoon saint patrick's day gathering as a grand of champagne and canapÉs lacking political import, this is to misunderstand the soft power significance of these crucially recognized first by irish americans. and of course, i am suggesting what tips the balance quite literally is speaker of the house tip. representing different parties and different political. o'neill importantly to win over the no republican president ronald reagan to the cause of northern ireland by invoking the latter's irish heritage. and then again, this is a kind of form of soft diploma, right? which you will not necessarily see in the history books in ireland for or in

not of the probes are meeting my name is david it is my privilege to be the president ceo of the ronald reagan presidential foundation and in situ. we have a great, great session now and i'm going to start by telling a little bit about senator joni ernst whose career is defined by public service. after graduate from iowa state sheet on the u.s. army reserve ultimately retiring as lieutenant colonel in the iowa army national guard after 23 years of military service in her home county she served as the montgomery county auditor where she worked to limit wasteful government spending and protect taxpayers hard earned dollars. as a state senator she fought to balance the state budget. itge certainly does a very relative experiences especially in washington today. now in november of 2014 joni ernst was elected as the first woman to serve in federal elected office from the state of iowa and became the first female combat veteran elected to serve in the ninth state senate. over the past decade she has become one of the most respected, thoughtful and principled voices on national defense and tod

but ronald reagan wasn't. and so again, we got to get somebody in there to just explain to the president the economy is completely different. you can't pull on a string of tariffs on one side. and not to expect to unravel the stock market, unravel the gdp and hurt lower and middle income workers. well. >> who is that person that could give that insight? i mean. >> i was hoping i was hoping it'd be howard, i hope i was hoping it'd be howard lutnick. howard knows scott scott bessent secretary bessent knows he wrote an article 6 or 8 months ago. you could find it online talking about the dangers of the tariffs. what happens is you want to talk about a time machine. they go into the trump hot tub and they sit in the hot tub with him. you know, like the hot tub time machine. and they're passing cigars to each other and laughing. and they're sitting there agreeing with the president where they should be saying to him, no, you're back in 1987. it's possibly a good year for you, but ronald reagan is correct. and we ma

>> thank you morgan and joe for being on the panel and to the ronald reagan institute. really appreciate the opportunity to be here and talk about these issues. i just told joe out and hallway, every day on capitol hill is like a new adventure. truly every single day is another opportunity to find ways to excel. this moment in time in particular is very moving for me because i came into the united states senate wanting to make washington d.c. squeal. my first campaign ad was make them squeal. so every month the past ten years i worked on waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal government and solutions how to correct that. but that was ten years of work on legislation and letters and committee hearings that went really nowhere. finally we have a president right now, president trump, and with doge and elon musk who have given us a platform to execute what we have worked so hard on. it's an extraordinary moment in time and i'm so glad to be part of this movement to right size our federal government, grab a hold of technology, move forward with bright young minds that are fo

i will say this i really enjoyed last night when president trump mentioned president ronald reagan that was a great opportunity. >> it is important for a leader to hear both sides and without question that is the way the leader decides the best advice. there are people whispering in the air that agree with much of these reports. we absolutely know that there are people also coming in their the president talked about a balanced budget and he talked about a very extensive and vicious list of spending priorities. i'm sure there is conflict there in the white house about how to accomplish both of those. president reagan always set our ultimate goal has to be a balanced budget. but we need to spend the money to make sure americans are safe. i was encouraged that it seems that our current president is very much in favor of most of what were advocating. and frankly i got a call to her three weeks ago to come to the white house. it was susie wiles in a couple of others and donald trump and me. we hashed out some of the ideas. i'm encouraged to see we may be getting somewhere. we have a lot to d

senator ernst, it's so great to have you back at the ronald reagan institute. thank you. >> (applause) >> today we welcome one of the most influential voices from the private sector, a unique awning of security security nets, reagan institute, and they know him for his many, many successful endeavors. among these, joe has founded over a dozen prominent companies and he's been an early investor in several more. here to moderate a discussion among the leading national security voices from the public and private sectors is morgan brennan, co-anchor of cnbc's closing bell overtime. joined cnbc in 2013 and covers a variety of sectors, manufacturing, defense and space, speaking of which, she's hosted a cnbc podcast. morgan has interviewed chief executives of multi-billion dollar corporations and the conversation on the stage promises to be fascinating. please join me in giving a welcome warm to our esteemed guests. [applause] >> thank you. and i'll just say before we get started, the last maybe five minutes or so of this conversation i'll open it up to questions and

we've done that. and kept up the pressure in the second half, wrapping up the win with goals from ronaldona's sixth straight league win moves them in the final group match of the champions trophy, australia. the black caps were bowled out for 205 after an impressive performance from india's spinners, with varun adam cottier reports. they were able to set their opponents a target of 250, on a slow pitch step forward india's spinners in reply, led by va run chakravarthy. the first of five wickets he was to take raising the noise tom latham's innings and the control and rhythm fall for just 72 runs. will likely be a big challenge for australia in the semi—finals. south africa in lahore on wednesday for a place adam cottier, bbc news. on a bit and it was deviating a little bitjust to and, uh, so i would say i would dedicate my five was probably what was the challenge for us. we knew that coming here, they were going to play they read the situation and read the conditions well. and um, yeah, unfortunately, we couldn't get across the line. england's laurie canter had the chance to win it, but

they have been talking about that since ronald reagan. you're too young to even know ronald reagan.way, they have been talking about that since reagan. the other thing they have is january 6. that's all they have. host: let me ask you one last question. what viewers may be hearing from you is it is ok to disrupt a joint address by a president, as long as, what you are saying, you agree with. so you agree with marjorie taylor greene, what she was saying when she was disrupting the president. so as long as that happens, you're ok with it, but when al green stands up and says you do not have a mandate, responding to president trump saying he does, then you are not ok with it? caller: what i am ok with is -- what i am ok with, just to get the facts straight, is that donald trump was not -- donald trump did not even say two sentences, and al green was standing there in the front row -- not the front row, but right behind the justices, shaking his cane at donald trump, not allowing him to speak. and he was told to sit down numerous times, and he refused to do so. with marjorie taylor gree

war or ronald reagan.re about the fact that donald trump and his doge hatchetman are coming for social security, medicaid, and medicare. trump made that clear last night with his insane and previously debunked lies about social security. and be forewarned, unless you love hearing an old man recite long numbers, this clip is incredibly boring. >> believe it or not, government databases list 4.7 million social security members from people aged 100 to 109 years old. it lists 3.6 million people from ages 110 to 119. 3.47 million people from ages 120 to 129. 3.9 million people from ages 130 to 139. 3.5 million people from ages 140 to 149. 1.3 million people from ages 150 to 159. and over 130,000 people, according to the social security databases are age over 160 years old. 1,039 people between the ages of 220 and 229. one person between the age of 240 and 249. and one person is listed at 360 years of age. >> seth: huh?

good morning to you, ronald. we're just talking about your opinion reaction. i know it's early hours scale, but anything you can pass along. yeah, that slide show couldn't, or i think is the reaction from europe as they were watching those unprecedented scenes spill out to the oval office. what a historic moment on tv trump certainly was like, this is going to make a great tv. but for the europeans, they with that with them, i would just open a completely and utterly shocked as to what happened. and then we saw this outpouring is gushing on with a sick of fancy to support zelinski. and you creating almost like a battle cry of come on, let's continue to do it. we'll start now with the you are paying commission, present us and the lady who said that dignity and there was only a ring ukrainian b brain. she said b, b a less up baffled cry. if ever they was one we also heard from the mold the oven . prices are recently elected in 2024, saying that the continues to states that russia was the aggressive hey, that it was russia that if they did, then we had the spanis

i'm a huge fan of ronald reagan but he was bad on trade. very bad on trade. allowed a lot of businesses to be taken. i say that with due respect. he was so great on other things. but he was bad on trade. we are setting records right now. records like nobody has ever seen before. when you have companies like this coming in, and almost 40% of their company in one signature is going to be devoted to what he does which is one of the most important businesses in the world. that's an unbelievable thing. when apple now is going to start building all of their plants here. all because of what we've done in terms of -- it's not because he likes me or they like me. they don't probably like me at all. jon. i think he likes me a little bit at least. but you know what? it's -- it's the incentive we created. or the negative incentive. i mean it's going to be very costly for people to take advantage of this country. they expect come in and steal our money and steal our jobs and take our factories and take our businesses and expect not to be punished. they're being punished b

president trump, william mckinley, who he mentioned yesterday as well as ronald reagan in the idea a new golden age and also in suggesting that in your view president trump deviates from the model in not thanking his predecessor not engaging in some of that tropes of other inaugural addresses. let's go back to the beginning or nearly and ted widmer maybe i don't know if you want to begin by talking about the model that washington established and where template that you discussed came from. and then perhaps if you want to take us up there to jackson who trump invoked in first inaugural address as a predecessor, it's striking that in the introduction to, jackson's second inaugural address, thomas combs in the volume, says that jackson took the oath of office for the second time in the capitol hill because it was to be on the portico. but a recent snowfall and subfreezing temperatures forced the event indoors. so, you know, maybe tell us to what degree jackson's second inaugural does and doesn't press interest that trump well, i want to begin saying it's very important that michael and

that's actually a line he stole from ronald reagan. after the spectacle that just took place in the oval office last, reagan must be rolling in his grave. we all want and enter the war in ukraine. but reagan understood the true strength -- that scene in the oval office was not just a bad episode of reality tv, is summed up trump's whole approach to the world. he believes enclosing closing up to dictators like vladimir putin and kicking our friends like the canadians in the teeth. he sees american leadership as merely a series of real estate transactions. as a cold war kid, i am thankful it was reagan and not trump in office in the 1980's. trump would have lost us the cold war. donald trump sections -- actions suggest that in his heart he doesn't believe we are an exceptional nation. he clearly does not think we should leave the world. look, america is not perfect but i stand with the majority of americans who believe we are still exceptional, unparalleled. and i would rather have american leadership over chinese or russian leadership a

if at all uh, this is just like ronald mutually is what is the view of the fios um is not the the, the, the so that the lease on mcquease that the to move on. yeah. do you mind calling me on the lease is up between one? yeah. north macedonia was once an important part of a larger real connection between build rate and athens. today, it's pretty much a collection of isolated segments. there are no more international passenger connections, only for freight trains. domestically rail is mostly for those who can't afford any other way to our ride, well surprisingly unavailable. the question is, which way macedonia will go towards china, where the you to seems quite possible that the new government here is going to turn more to chinese investment compared to the password. and the businesses may look at some of those projects as being to their advantage. but what does that mean to north macedonia? as long efforts to join the you? one thing seems clear. rail is likely to play a large role in the politics here in the coming years. the the why should we care about forrest? because they provide f

ronald reagan streets.n because ronald reagan. what did he say? he talked about peace. through strength. and the people of eastern europe. mika's father, one of them. saw their countries absolutely decimated and dominated, in part because countries of the free world, time and time again underestimated whether it was joseph stalin or, as i've been saying, khrushchev. vienna, with jfk. we can talk about, of course, george w bush and then the invasion of georgia by putin in 2008. we can talk about barack obama and then the invasion of crimea, the invasion of ukraine, the shooting down of commercial aircraft. we can talk about syria, putin going in and invading syria, taking russian troops into syria in 2015. time and time again, when you underestimate russian leaders, they do not respect you. they do not respect weakness. as ronald reagan said time and again, they only respect strength. that's why he always talked about peace through strength. that's right. that's right. former secretary of homeland security.

these are students for whom while gerald ford or ronald reagan might as well be abraham lincoln, you know. so but anyway. so i'm going to ask some questions and i don't mean to if anybody feels that i'm trying to get you to reveal your age or anything like that, you don't have to participate. but there are moments in history that sort of. that signal where we are all together at one time, for example, and maybe some. is there anybody in the room who remembers where you were and what you were doing when franklin roosevelt died? anybody okay, hillary? yep. okay. because my mom, this is one of the formative moments in my mother's life. she remembers that she was walking home with some friends from getting some ice cream and she heard the news that the president had died. and it was a really big for her because he, franklin roosevelt, was the only my mother had known at that time. he was president for 12 years and she was in college. so he was elected the first time when she was six years old or something like that. okay. how many of you remember where were and what you were doing? how w

so we have to be more trusting in ronald reagan's words of trust but verify. if we do that i think we can utilize a tremendous amount of capability there that right now is unrealized. ♪ questions of the audience next day. one off final question for my church to you, we talked a bit already today about the pathways we are seeing toward progress are kind of exceptions to the rule they are not the norm. what needs to be done to make of these models standard operating procedure? quick sale answered in part and that'll probably defer to my friends in congress who i know have lots of views on this. the points on exception to the rules is exactly right. i see some friends in the audience who have been working this problem at dia you and other places for a long time. there is a lot of credit to the efforts that have happened there. but it needs to scale up across the board. it's equal parts of that. we talked about incentives i think incentives is really critical piece to this on both sides but it's fundamentally were saying in the next business model question in many

ronald reagan didn't do it. >> yeah. >> the first george bush didn't do it.o democratic president has done it until donald trump came here and decided to act effectively like the authoritarian he wants to become. >> yeah. and we know, congressman, i mean, these are storied law firms. but as julie was saying, it's not about perkins coie. his actions go against even further than that. he you know, his order seeks to limit lawyers access to federal buildings, officials, even jobs down the line. the law firm says it's going to challenge us. how far can that fight actually go? what precedent does all this set? where do you see this going? >> well, the first thing i would want not to do is to threaten a whole law firm. that's a lot of lawyers. and i tell you what, i don't want to. i don't know if i want that many. lawyers swooping down on me. i also want to, you know, offer perkins coie a free coupon to our distillery. but no, i mean, you know, making whiskey is me a bit of freedom, but i think it is a chilling effect. when i read it, i actually couldn't believe it

ronald reagan is turning over in his grave.at a national security strategy that i guess has been concocted in the realm of social media and cable television, but has nothing to do with the national security interests of the united states. it can't be defended. i want to also say, while i have the floor, mr. president, and for the record, and i hope people will look it up, i have never met president zelenskyy where he hasn't started the meeting by thanking the american people and ended the meeting by thanking the american people. he's done it in every meeting that i have been in. but i don't want us to lose sight of the fact that we also hold a profound debt of gratitude to him and to his soldiers and to the ukrainian people. the president doesn't seem to understand that. the president seems to think, oh, my gosh, they're doing us a favor by using our weapons. you're in tough shape. your country's in tough shape, he stated the obvious in that embarrassing interaction in the oval office the other day, where he couldn't even keep

that's actually a line he stole from ronald reagan. let me tell you, after the spectacle that just took place in the oval office last week, reagan must be rolling in his grave. >> reporter: some democrats were a no-show, including aoc who instead chose to do a little live streaming, as you can see their pick democratic senator elizabeth warren was seen checking her mobile, not paying much attention to the speech. many female democratic lawmakers wore pink, and claiming it's the color of protest. democrats didn't arrive and be handed. many carried signs which included save medicaid or musk steals, with false written on the back and what they claim was a fact-check during trump's congress. woke mrs. dead and said fixing the southern border was not new legislation wanted. it was a new president instead. >> bill: there is the wrap for now. lucas. much more to get to. lucas tomlinson in washington. back to last night. >> president trump: his name is dj daniel, he is 13 years old and he's always dreamed of becoming a police officer.

state of the art golden don't missile defense shield to protect our homeland full made in the usa the ronald reagan wanted to do it long ago. but the technology just wasn't there, not even close, but now we have the technology, it's incredible actually. and other places that they have it, israel has it. other places have it at the united states should have it to right tim. right. they should have it too. so i want to thank you, but it's a very, very important, this is a very dangerous world. we should have it, we want to be protected and we're going to protect our citizens like never before us to boost our defense industrial base. we are also going to resurrect the american ship building industry, including commercial ship building and military shifts of the for that purpose. i am announcing to know that we will create a new office of ship building and the white house would offer special tax incentives to bring this industry home to america where it belonged. we used to make so many ships. we don't make them anymore very much. but we're going to make them very fast, very soon. we will have a

that is a statue of ronald reagan. because he believed that the captive nations of the soviet bloc, when freed, would would transform from security consumers to become security exporters. over the last three years. that is exactly what happened. the baltic states, poland, romania, all exported security where we wanted them to export security to ukraine. what is at stake here is credibility. they took a risk. poland took a risk in exporting billions of dollars of military equipment to ukraine. please remember, poland is a slavic nation. ukraine is a slavic nation, and russia is a slavic nation. in the mind of putin, a kgb agent who is the son of a kgb agent. what poland did was treason. so poland today is anxious and uncertain. they are listening to washington and worried about the future of nato, worried about america's commitment to the region, and worry, joe, that ukraine could become a failed state. but here's the opportunity. if this somehow is a good cop bad cop scenario with the europeans being forced and to beco

the political community suggested a lot of it should abandon its neutrality and engage with nato ronald already a partner in a partnership agreement with the native, the partnership for peace. what's your opinion on that? as the in boss or the russian federation do send stuff to that push and move towards a more militarist you increase spending in the 800000000000 euros we're there is no longer line talking about in the last number of days. what's your view point on, on that i know, richard, charlie is an irish issue. but as the representative, if you like, of the russian federation here, who concerning is a to hear these drum beats towards militarization and potentially a binding i neutrality have concerning his the will as you could pray that the issue of a neutrality is a proper issue for the irish people and yeah, there's a government that this site and i'm always making these point at the same time. i'm uh, making another point because of all the and all the speculation over these issue of, from the government side. uh oh, this refers to uh, the russian tract is a, a garden goodman

this is the ronald reagan evil empire against democracy.have to be concerned about what's crumbling here, what needs to be put back together. that's what we felt in our stomachs and our anxiety as we watched what was at risk here. the second thing is, how inappropriate this was for zelenskyy. the context is, this was a signing agreement. zelenskyy had been negotiating with the united states on a minerals deal, an economic deal as the treasury secretary said. he had been doing so for weeks. i met with him with members of congress in munich. he told us some of the terms he wanted. he had a successful deal. the united states had conceded. he was flying here under the pretext that he was going to sign this deal. this should have been a win. as he is sitting in the oval office, he says i want the president to stand with ukraine. in moments, he was going to be standing with the president of the united states with a win he had negotiated. instead of taking that win, he turned it into a debate on american security guarantees during peace notegotiat
