and this had become a big issue through the 1992 presidential campaign with clinton and george h.w. bush. clinton had pledged that he would eliminate the ban on gays serving openly. it was called don't ask, don't tell. you don't tell us you're gay, we won't ask you if you're gay. that remained the policy of the u.s. military until 2011 when president obama eliminated that with an executive order. but shilts' book came right on the edge of that discussion and was very helpful toward illuminating for people this whole concept of we're training military members to be experts in all sorts of skills, and then as soon as we find out anything about their personal life in terms of who they love or who they spend their life, and we're throwing them out and throwing away their careers. this was particularly the only work that shilts was able to dedicate to any real measure of coverage to gay women, to lesbian women, because they were suffering disproportionately the number of discharges from the military based on their sexual orientation. and a lot of them were being threatened with losing their f

he chases policy through his e work with bush and clinton. during this 20-year period he comes to terms with all he had achieved and all he had lost. the conventional wisdom says he accidental confessed during the watergate section of the interview with david frost. this has been a myth that frost and others have perpetuated for some time. the reality is quite different. they talked about it in advance. what he wanted to say when the question came up. he apologized for his moral failures. he said i screwed it all up but would never admit to any criminal wrong doing because he didn't think he violated any criminal laws. this would be the message he would use the rest of his life when asked about this topic. it came not as an accident during the frost nixon interview, it came as a planned answer to a question that they had together. still the moral failures weighed on him. he dealt with it in his own way. he dealt by beginning to reveal himself more and more and become public with people. his opponent called to let limb know he was dying of can

often being passed somewhat and more people go there than go to the kennedy library or the clinton lie barey or the bush. so he still remains to this day the -- very popular and very successful president. >> in march of this year you wrote in newsmax that he was a populist and intellectualist and reagan like trump ran in a time where many americans had grievances against the establishment. unlike trump he made every talking point optimistic and every speech uplifting, something trump could never do if his life depended on him. >> yes, that's the essential. that's the difference between trump and reagan. reagan, first of all was reelected and trump wasn't. second of all, reagan had high approval ratings than donald trump. and third of al, most of trump's philosophy is derived from ronald reagan. the idea of conservative judges or tax cuts, not just stimulate the economic but to expand personal freedom, increase the power of the individual. there was a time in 1981 after he was selected president and after he was sworn in, he was meeting with a group of conservatives and he told them tax cuts are about th

the clintons, tony blair, george bush, all of them have become extremely wealthy once they leave powery, but leaving that to the side, the idea of presidential libraries, originally that didn't exist for like 150 years because the idea was just a private citizen, you go serve in public office and then you go back to private life. you don't need like a shrine to your existence. when what happened was it was born of good motives. frank and pe roosevelt knew he had gone through all of these historically momentous events, like the great depression and world war ii and he said you know, these papers of mine don't belong to me, they belong to the public and historians, let's just kind of create a library where historians can go study for it and over the years it became bigger and bigger and bigger and what obama is doing is unprecedented, not only is it so grandiose in size, so much bigger thanerer anyone else's, t has four different buildings and 235-foot museum tower in his honor. it's like not even a roman emperor would do that, but he has also removed it from record-keeping system, which

you could argue george bush inherited bill clinton execs and beddings this happening to been in withoe biden was vice president, he gave the war as vice president to donald trump so for him to walk up there until the america people with a straight face that somehow it's something he inherited, that is a lie. we don't have any, i don't get to be partisan pleading for the lives and dignity of my fellow brothers and sisters there now today. this is about partisanship. president trump sat across the table table, there's probably a pipe dream but the idea was give the telegram a voice within afghanistan and maybe they won't terrorize it. president biden turned it into give afghanistan to the taliban and maybe i'll get this done before the midterms so i can run for reelection without it being a current issue because that's despicable. >> that is despicable. and he did it without a concern for the american people, the lowest of the low. joey jones, thank you for your service and being here tonight. everyone, don't forget to set your dvr so you never miss a show. i am jeanine pirro advocatin

it was happening under bush, under clinton, under reagan. >> and trump. >> and trump. so it's been an issue that needs to be taken care of. so it's not just one administration to blame. >> right. >> for crime happening in major cities. >> 100%. >> thank you, gentlemen. i appreciate it. see you soon. >> take care of that back, don. >> oh, man, if you only knew. if you only knew. thank you very much. i appreciate it. i want to bring in now new york state assembly member yuh-line n niou. thank you so much for joining us this evening. so a stunning political moment in new york. what was your reaction to the resignation of governor cuomo? >> i think that obviously, you know, it was a good thing for our state and for our politics that andrew cuomo is resigning. i just want to also mention that just because the governor is resigning, it doesn't mean that the toxic culture of abuse and misogyny in which he operated in is going away from albany. we have to fix that. we have to actively work to change that, and we have to pass legislation that will make albany a safe and harassm
