gorbachev was the hot kid in town. he was a whiz kid, a generation younger than reagan, so much smarter, so much younger and so much more with it. reagan didn't know issues. he spoke from cards. he was dotering around. and you don't get that from the notes at all. you get the idea there is no gap between the two in terms of knowledge and in terms of negotiations there is a big gap between the two. one of the wonderful parts of looking at these notes, both the russian and the american notes, is that over those ten and a half years, gorbachev says to reagan i think it is 11 or 12 times, i am making all of the concessions and you have given me nothing. and you know what reagan says each of those times that gorbachev complains? he says nothing. [laughtering] >> guest: he says absolutely nothing. and he must be sitting there thinking what is wrong with that? suits me just fine. i knew i was a great negotiaton. i like it that way. gorbachev gets madder and madder and we have, thank god, we have the notes of gorbachev on the

that gorbachev was going to release after his death, gorbachev's death.asked his assistant who i had breakfast with two weeks ago i said why did you release it now? he said i don't know i will ask gorbachev would make it back to moscow because i'm waiting for him to tell me. but the storyline i have had friends tell me who read the book that storyline of akhromeyev is probably the most emotional and intriguing part of the reykjavik story. >> host: in the last few minutes we have a wanted you to just reflect on this extraordinary inflation should between reagan and gorbachev in the cover of your book with this photo that has become iconic. there are so many photos from the summit in the last two years in the cold war that sound so familiar and you can see in the photographs there was a chemistry between these two men. what was said and how do you explain it and how much of it was forged in that weekend in reykjavik? >> guest: it wasn't entirely, there wasn't a great deal of friendship between the two of them. there was a mutual admiration and it was kind o

the third story i'm sympathetic to is the soviet regime, even before gorbachev but especially they gorbachevalized needed the trade and technology the west could offer if they were going to revitalize the economic structure of the soviet union and make it a viable superpower long-term. military was important. you have to reduce arms spending. the more importantly is to revitalize the economic base so the soviet union could become an important player into the 21st century. otherwise, they felt they would economically decline and therefore politically and militarily the no longer viable. i guess the fourth is more personalistic of personalities. i've have only read three chapters of your manuscript, the ones i saw online. i sense you are in the fourth camp, but i'm not sure what the causal story is other than they liked each other or grew to trust one another. the story to political scientist like myself would want to ask is, what conditions allowed the trust to develop, especially with reagan who was very much an anti-soviet individual? how does that trust develop? what are the material or cu

gorbachev or says reagan. gorbachev versus bush. i have only read three chapters of your manuscript. i am not sure what the causal story is other than descriptively that they were -- they liked each other. they grew to trust one another. the story a political scientist like myself would want to ask is, what conditions allowed to that trust to develop, especially with reagan, who was very much an anti-soviet individual? how does that trust develop and what is the material or ideological circumstances hanging over these leaders that allowed their personalities to play such an important role at this critical time? descriptive story of their personalities talking to one another and having trust bill does not really tell me more of what i really want to know, what are the reasons why they were able to do it and kissinger and nixon, who built up a detente, were not able to do it? why were these individuals able to do it? extract from the story to look at the causal conditions under which this would work. >> that is a great question. let m

so he never answers gorbachev, and gorbachev just gets madder and madder. and we have, thank god we have the notes of gorbachev on the plane from reykjavÍk back to moscow, and he has his staff on the plane, and he says to the staff, you know, i gave away things in reykjavÍk. i made all the concessions. reagan did nothing. his staff must have thought, who's the dummy here, you know? why did you do that? but anyway, that's the way it was. it's marvelous, and so i was really lucky to be there, that was luck, and have the memory of what happened there. but to have these notes open. >> host: i want to talk about sort of the climax of the summit a second. but some the details in the book is wonderful. your own expenses of reykjavÍk. one image that you paint beautifully is the site of the two military officers on each side holding the nuclear football, the suitcases with the codes it would launch a nuclear strike. you said that's the most, actually the most memorable sight that you recall from that summit. why is that? >> guest: the idea that these two men who wer

so i think that some of the embrace of gorbachev, both in the u.s.nd europe, has to do with an activist and activated social movement, one that links human rights issues going on in eastern europe with anti-nuclear activism. these folks are coming together and they are so excited about gorbachev and the possibility of the end of the cold war. maybe the disappointment with the pause. this deep disappointment with the pause where the bush administration comes in and says, we are going to think a lot now for the first five months.

. >> gorbachev arrived in power and we inaugurated perestroika policies and the strongest resistance we encountered was from east geam. >> his career career began in georgia in 1985. head of the communist party, georgia at the time was part of the soviet union. it wasn't long before he was summoned for gorbachev's right-hand man, starting out as foreign minister. for five years he campaigned for disarmament across the usff, a position that would win him western allies the years leading up to the fall of the berlin wall. he stepped down just months before the soviet union collapsed, warning dick tapership was come -- dictatorship was coming to the region. in 1995 he was elected as an independent of georgia, a position he held 10 years. the power ended by the revolution in 2003, political upheaval sparked by georgians frustrated over the dire state of the economy and institutionalized corruption. he's pro-western successor came to power in 2004. he died at 86 years old. mikhail gorbachev paid his respects to a man he described as strategist, gifted with sparke ling personality. >> the

apparently gorbachev asked for too much. he wanted a global ban on weapons in space, ronald reagan's idea of star wars. he would not agree to that demand so they went home with nothing they agreed to, but the two men had spent two days in each other's company, two days talking to each other in good faith and it turns out that was something. it was not a total loss because one year after those talked collapsed, one year later in 1987 gorbachev and reagan met in washington. this time it worked. it worked in that night, december of 1987, it led to one of those great network news opening sequence where you could tell everybody in the news business and all the politicians that were covering it, everybody was excited about the story, everybody knew this was a historic day, this was a really big deal and this was really big news. >> the president of the united states and the general secretary of the communist party of the soviet union signed the inf treaty. >> today i for the united states and the general secretary for the soviet u

directly to vladimir putin accusing russia of violating the 1987 treaty signed by president reagan and gorbachev. president then of what was the

he said he thought gorbachev made a big mistake in signing it. this is the vladimir putin who believes he's sort of superman. and he's like the teenage boy sitting in his room his mother says don't make me come up there, but his mother hasn't been this five years. he's not the least bit worried anybody's going to come up there and check on him. and i don't think a strongly worded letter from barack obama, if he can get it sent off before his next round of golf, is going to matter to putin. he simply doesn't care. >> the nato supreme commander has come out and said -- well, they've been informed. we informed them months ago back in january according to "new york times." and they've come out, nato's top commander has said this cannot go unanswered if in fact there was this violation of a cruise missile being tested which clearly violates a 1987 treaty that the russians signed. it cannot go unanswered. but the question is, what is america prepared to do? and is barack obama poking vladimir putin right now? and if so, why? this is from the "new york

. >> dana, is he almost like our gorbachev?e's opening the door to a new era where like gorbachev unknowingly caused the disintegration of the ussr. >> in fact, i just read an article in "newsweek" that talks about vladimir putin's daily life and one of the things he believes is gorbachev was an evil person that caused the destruction of their country or downfall. the president is being tagged in almost every column as being detached. i tuned white house doesn't think that's true. they will tell you until they are blue in the face that that's not true. but that's the accepted narrative of this moment and about to go on a three week vacation and the world won't stop its chaos for him to have another break. >> eb, 2016. does america need a nationalist, somebody concerned about preserving our strength in a mad world. we don't have one now, it seems. >> yes. we need someone that we all like. we need someone who has a national policy that we can adhere to and like while he's doing it. the problem is andrea was on with james carville

. >> he was the diplomatic face of mikhail gorbachev's policies, helping him bring down the berlin wall, reunite germany, and bring an end to the cold war . >> many germans will remember eduard shevardnadze from his role in the 1990 2+4 treaty that saw the establishment of the -- and saw the end of the cold war that had divided europe. the fact that moscow agreed to the deal was at least partly thanks to the friendship between shevardnadze and the german foreign minister at the time. but there ties went beyond just good relations. >> there was great mutual trust. i remember when we hit a problem the day before the signing in moscow. i told him he could rely on me. he said as long as you are a foreign minister -- as long as you are foreign minister. we invested in each other. >> shevardnadze also had warm tries -- ties with soviet leader mikhail gorbachev. shevardnadze he did not enjoy the -- shevardnadze did not enjoy the same success in his native georgia. he was overthrown in a popular revolution in 2003. >> in nigeria, more than 60 women and girls who were abducted by bo boko haram l

at the time and this was a good means of eliminating gorbachev as a political rival the problem with mr yeltsin as you well know his rule led to ten years of chaos and the one positive thing that mr putin has done in my view is he's ended more or less the chaos the question is having gone into crimea i mean now threatened elsewhere building up the size of the military is he in fact taking money away from education and science as some russian scholars themselves say well that's a valid point even though i think if you look at public opinion polls the overwhelming winterreise or freshens do believe that crimea was is and will be russian now in these political climate though i find it very interesting that a couple of days ago i put into a time to send a telegram to president obama congratulating americans on their independence day and expressing the hope that the two countries could overcome the current difficulties and build their relationship on a quote pick magic and equipped to build basis but isn't that a major difference between now and then because the united states used to view

if you look at gorbachev anti-alcohol campaign or even what's going on since two thousand and nine with president dmitry medvedev for then president dmitri medvedev you find a very difficult time to try to bring the whole consumption levels down to a more reasonable level well actually i think the recent efforts by the russian government have been quite successful and if you've seen the latest the distance the consumption of spirits in russia in in just a matter of a few here is has decreased by i think a third but i want to get down to that a bit of a bit later let me ask you about the united states because booze is also a big business in the united states alcohol generates some seven point six billion in excise taxes for the federal budget and it contributes around four hundred billion in a canonic activity and drinking of course is also an issue in the united states is the third leading cause of lifestyle related deaths so could the same argument be made here that the united states has a significant vast that interest in keeping its population drinking and complacent and there's a th

and gorbachev interrupts him and said professor that is wrong. ronald reagan is a man of judgment, integrity and don't say that. you don't know what you are talking about. and i thought that was something to bud. he didn't have to say anything. so there was respect and a need for each other and there was a common bond of fuses they both thought there were way too many nuclear weapons, way too dangerously deployed and they they had the responsibility to do something about it. plus they a kinship that both of them were born and raised with the chances of them coming to power was not even conceivable. reagan's father was an alcoholic that sold shoes and gorbachev's family was poor and lived in the middle of nowhere and the chances of them coming together as leaders of the world was -- you know? and they realized that and said something special happen to me, you and something special brought us together. and i think one thing i should have added that maybe people were right and the house was haunted. what happened there was so extraordinary and in a

gorbachev signed it in 1987, and it helped to install the end of the cold war by eliminating an entire class of weapons. it's called the inf treaty. and by 1981, it forced the u.s. and soviet union to destroy 3,000 missiles. only the ones launched from land, and not similar misses from ships or planes, but after eliminating them years ago, russia has been reportedly testing them once again, possibly since 2008. they are medium range, and both sides are still allowed missiles that can fly further. and these can only reach russia's neighbors and allies, but not really hit the united states. russian leaders have hinted for years they want out of the treaty, calling it unfair because other countries, like china and pakistan, also have these missiles. the u.s. said that russia doesn't need them as much because they have better bombers, and some call it serious, saying that it may trigger another arms race, and it could be another sign of crumbling relations between rush and america. >> jonathan bett, thank you. and in the middle east, most of gaza is out tonight. they took out gaza's only p

mikhail gorbachev introduced a certain amount of liberalization, which allowed people to hold her tests without being arrested. people in estonia, latvia, and lithuania seized the opportunity to set a joint world record, forming the longest human chain in history -- 600 kilometers of people holding hands. >> from above, it looked like a traffic jam, but on the ground, it was the largest demonstration in the history of the soviet union. august 23, 1989 -- never before had so many people turned out. some dressed up for the occasion. others came straight from work. they formed a human chain six hundred kilometers long across the three soviet baltic republics -- estonia, latvia, lithuania -- signaling the beginning of the end of the soviet union. a quarter of a century later, a quickstart is a stroke of luck -- a quick start is a stroke of luck for this vehicle. jonas had no second thoughts about taking his family to the original demonstration. their granddaughter was two years old when she joined the demonstrators. half the country was there, so nobody was left to babysit her. >> we saw li

as an egregious violation of this agreement that goes back to the era of ronald reagan and mikel gorbachev. when you take that on top of what's been going on with the lack of access, the continuing lack of access all these days later to the crash site and then of course the ukraine and the announcement we heard from the podium yesterday that we saw russian artillery going directly from russia into ukraine, all of that adding up to a ratcheting up of the tensions. but i think it would be fair to say that the main impetus for what's happening today was the downing of flight 17. >> chris, as russia goes more isolated in the global community, it must be harder for the president to even speak to vladimir putin and just to have constructive conversations, which makes the diplomatic effort that much harder. >> well, it isn't as if they had a close and warm relationship before this, but we know that on the day of the downing of flight 17, the president was actually on the phone with vladimir putin, and that conversation back then was characterized as frosty. very difficult conversation with vladim

it's like gorbachev trying to save the soviet system. dodd-frank tried to save securitization but this was an oxymoron. this was a form that had no capital in it to begin with. it was never going to be a capitalized mechanism of securities funding. there was supposed to be an exception for the safe mortgages. a minimum down payment of 20%. how did the regulators determine that rate? affordable housing lobby weighed in and it's now zero down payment requirements. so i'll just summarize this. we started with a fractured system that was too fragile and we ended up with a crony system which is what the founding fathers were trying to avoid where we have banks too big to fail doing everything and we don't have any control over them. this is our worst fears. i grew up near woolly sutton. he got arrested a lot. but he knew what question to ask. right? he asked where is the money? how much is there and how do i get my hands on it? that's the essential question i always asked when we were trying to fund securities when we were trying to fund secu
