on the american side, ronald reagan and george schultz. on the soviet side, mikael gorbachev and his foreign minister. one of the questions one has to ask about the process and of ending the cold war is what was it that made the ussr jump? why did they resist western pressure to the 50s, 60s and 70s and yet they started to make massive concussions in the second half of the 1980s. when i found is that contrary to what they kill gorbachev likes to suggest the change of attitude to the soviet internal crisis that did not occur only when he came to power in 1985. the material showed the public bureau repeatedly looked at the fundamental social, religious and imperial problems with relation to eastern europe. problems that couldn't afford to solve in the old way because the soviet economy was going through it was draining away resources particularly after the invasion of afghanistan at the end of 1979 so that repeatedly in the first half of the 1980s they were looking at matters that it had inched away from an earlier decades but what but what

he thought that reagan was being waylaid by george schultz as secretary of state which i think is completely wrong. reagan's diaries show that what schultz was doing was exactly what reagan wanted. and so kemp was against him on that and i think he was wrong. but fundamentally he always said great things about reagan. >> he always said great things but i think the caller does have a point, and that is that the notion that reagan and kemp were just pals all the time and got along perfectly and agreed on everything, which is maybe the popular opinion about jack kemp, was really not true. kemp always pushed him to go further. he pushed against these smaller tax increases. you know, reagan never veered away from the rate cuts in the original tax cut of 1981. but at one point -- you remember this, mort -- when kemp even asked -- more than asked, demanded that reagan fire george schultz as his secretary of state. well, reagan had no intention of doing that. as mort points out, in re gan's diaries he showed how close he was to george schultz who really did represent his views. but there were times

we don't really know how other secretaries of state, john kerry, george schultz, condoleezza rice mayave dealt with political donors because their emails have not been the focus of freedom of information act suits and federal investigations. what we're getting now is sort of a first-time window into how hillary clinton operated at least through the emails that she has turned over so far. >> tom, thank you very much. >> thanks. >> okay. the latest email problem a major problem for secretary clinton's campaign or no big deal in the "on the record" political panel is here from the hill. a.b. stoddard and rick klein. big deal or no big deal? >> one week from tonight hillary clinton is going to face down her democratic rivals for the first time and what's interesting is that the argument that you are hearing from some of those rivals, like bernie sanders, like martin o'malley is that the influence of big dollars on government is too much. so the way this question, even in the confines of a democratic primary. this isn't kevin mccarthy making this case, this is going to be fellow democrats

about transition, and he told him he wanted him to go out and talk to the jim bakers bakers ad george schultzs and get some understanding about how transitions work, and then also think about the recruitment process for personnel. so, planning ahead was something that was natural to him. i think -- >> host: important. >> guest: -- in the transition but he was very affected by the wars, and the need to not just for president obama but for the presidency itself, the institution of the presidency, which you have in your hand. you want to make sure that institution remains strong, and so i think that's one of the reasons that he started early, and then he told his chief of staff, josh bolton, that he wanted him to handle it, and whenever he needed to, he could come to him and get his approval or his thinking on something. and so bolton did that. but he also was involved in the financial crisis. so he was juggling all of those things. so, his deputy, blake, did a lot of the work. say on a daily basis, blake dealt with the executive director for the obama transition. christopher liu, who was the --

when he and george schultz and madeleine albright testified before the armed services committee, theyeed the world has not been in more turmoil since the end of world war ii. by the way we have the largest , number of refugees since world war ii. charlie: thank you for allowing me to visit with you in your home state. senator mccain: you are always welcome back here in arizona. i knew you're going to be here a little while longer please spend , a lot of money while you are here. thank you. charlie: i do not have a lot of money. thank you. back in a moment. we will talk about journalism at the walter cronkite school of journalism and ask medications, where they are doing some remarkable things as they look at journalism, almost a laboratory for how journals and can have an impact. back in a moment. stay with us. ♪ charlie: walter cronkite one set of the role of journalists their job is to hold up a , mirror, to tell the public what has happened. while the landscape continues to evolve, this task remains the same. we are here with eric newton, the school innovation chief who spent 15 ye

president nixon's treasury secretary george schultz, president reagan's economic advisor art laffer, president george w. bush's treasury secretary hank paulson, and bush council of economic advisors chair greg mankiw have all advocated for some form of a carbon fee, as the efficient way to correct a market failure. the market failure where we all have to pick up the costs of carbon pollution for the fossil fuel industry. no wonder they spend so much money around here. that market failure is a sweet deal for the fossil fuel fellows, but it is not good free market economics. in a 2013 "new york times" op-ed, former republican e.p.a. administrators bill ruckelshaus, christine todd whitman, lee thomas and william riley wrote a market-based approach like a carbon tax would be the best path to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. end quote. republicans in congress are being squeezed. on one side they see unequivocal scientific consensus, compelling economic theory, and mounting public opinion all pointing toward the need for strong action on climate. on the other side, they see rich and power

i happened to be there in a motorcade with george schultz, when he was secretary of state, in la paz,airport to the city, and a bomb goes off, right next to the motorca motorcade. it fortunately his car was not damaged but the car his wife was riding in actually the windows were cracked and there was another car in the entourage that was really kind of messed up. we sped down to the embassy. it was a tense moment mo. figured out it seemed to be drug traffickers, unclear who set off the bomb. and what did he do next? an hour later he went about his regular schedule. you know, his scheduled activities in la poz and bolivian officials and whenever he was going to go. the point being that it is a dangerous world for u.s. diplomats and u.s. diplomacy. and i think people who know anything about that understand that you try -- everything you do to create perfect security and yet, a bomb can go off next to the motorcade of the secretary of state. it's impossible to do that. what i thought we would hear more of in terms of the line of questioning today is about the response in the moment, was

and george schultz. what wonderful people when you want prosperity. and kennedy.t: on and on and on. >> a great group of people. stuart: pleasure to have you on the program. >> thank you very much in my opinion pleasure. stuart: look if he dow jones industrial average, up 40 odd points, much of that gain is the result of dupont, which is up today. the ceo is stepping down and the stock is up. look. 10%. that's a huge gain for a dow jones average stock. that is putting the floor essentially under the dow at the moment. higher profits at pepsi, lower costs, better demand in some aspects of their business and that stock is up 1.7%, 97 on pepsi. how about the price of oil? still in the $4 $40 a barrel range, not much change in a month and gasoline, $2.97 the national average. and check the big board. up 49 points, two stocks in the news today. mcdonald's with their all-day breakfast and microsoft, which right now is announcing big presentation, got all kinds of new products on the market. mike smith is with me. i want your judgment on those two stocks. first of all, m

kissinger -- >> george schultz, crist, a doctor. >> the only licensed -- and almost 90 years old andfied anymore. >> when you see the marquee names, that's the sign. you see the same names, going on -- >> originally, i imagine they were there for two things, status and status in washington, right? i think that was supposed to say to the fda or whomever -- >> maybe. it was like having -- they didn't need reo backed with the board, and what is henry kissinger going to do? explain why putin upset. >> i'd like to hear from the fda on this. if they ask them to redo the tests to prove they are just as effective. >> using the pin picks for a single test. >> until the others are either approved or disproven that you can't use them as effectively. i want to see the signs on that. >> it is something. thinking of the 20th anniversary of the show, it is tragically o nostalgic to the hype we had about cyberspace back then, is that where do we get the tech hikes? they are caught up in the loop. they are behind them, and we have larry oracle behind them. people don't ask questions because they are
