i remember reagan named somebody, bill bennett, to run education. but what's the point?think it's a bit of a sabotage from within, right? that's exactly what reagan did. he couldn't get rid of these departments. every president in modern history has promised to get rid of departments of government. and none of them have actually succeeded, because it's such a master bureaucracy. it's so difficult to change washington, change the federal government. the only president who's managed to change the federal government's footprint was george w. bush. after 9/11, he added an agency to the government, right? and so, and so what reagan did, since he couldn't get rid of them, he kind of put in people who changed the culture from within. >> okay, here's the problem. you're a journalist. you know this story. if you pick somebody to run the epa, then the reporters who are the beat reporterses for epa are kind of into environmental and climate issues. that's why they chose it. so they're going to write for the next year about what's going on at the epa, and the constituents of the epa

[laughter] an early casting call was the standard hollywood excuse to put a quick end to unpleasant dinners. but when i opened the door, she wrote later, i knew he was the man i wanted to marry. >> do you think that ronald reagan could have been elected president without nancy reagan? >> oh. [laughter] oh, my. well, i think i may have help

as you know bennett the chairman of the jewish home party, for example, and some of the right-wing in the coalition they say, this is certainly legal. there is even a billn land, kind of like eminent domain and this will continue. >> again, those hard-liners are the same people who really don't believe in the two-state solution. they believe israel should rein supreme in the region. that is it. they don't care what happens to the millions of palestinians that live there as well. i caution about that as well. eric: is that fair to say they don't care? i mean they have seen, you know they haven't seen peace for decades. david friedman, designated u.s. ambassador to israel is a big supporter of the settlements. he apparently raises money for those as well as questioning the two-state solution basically against night that is a very hard-line approach to take here. somebody like david friedman has the potential as ambassador to really go against the grain and really cause potential damage in the bilateral relationships in the other direction. so if this u.n. resolution, abstention from the u.n. resolution damaging our relationship with the israelis sort of o
