history tv, we look back 40 years to 1988 when president ronald reagan and soviet leader mikhail gorbachev delivered new year's delay messages. three weeks earlier, the two leaders signed the ifn treaty to eliminate intermediate range nuclear missiles. president reagan addressed the soviet people from the white house and general secretary gorbachev addressed the american people from the kremlin. this is about ten minutes. >> good evening. this is ronald reagan, president of the united states. i'm speaking to you, the peoples of the soviet union, on the occasion of the new year. i know that in the soviet union as it is all around the world this is a season of hope and expectation. a time for family to gather, a time for prayer, a time to think about peace. that's true in america too. at this time of year, americans travel across the country in their cars or by airplane to be

reagan addressed the people from the white house turned gorbachev addressed the american people from the kremlin. this is about 10 minutes. pres. reagan: this is ronald reagan, president of the united states. i'm speaking to you, the peoples of the soviet union, on the occasion of the new year. i know that in the soviet union , as it is all around the world, this is a season of hope and expectation. a time for family to gather , a time for prayer, a time to think about peace. that is true in america, too. at this time of year americans , traveled across the country in their cars, by train, or by airplane to be together with their families. many americans came to the united states from other countries, and at this time of year, they look forward to hosting friends and family from their homelands. most of us celebrate christmas or hanukkah, and as part of the celebrations, we go to church or synagogue, then gather around the family dinner table. after giving thanks for our blessings, we share a traditional holiday meal of goose, turkey, or roast beef and exchange gifts. on new year's e

gorbachev, tear down this wall.america at its best stands for both literally and figuratively tearing walls down, not building them. and then you have donald trump -- [applause] if i could take it just a little further, just look at ronald reagan's policy toward the soviet union. which was trust but verify. [laughter] when he was talking to gorbachev during those famous summits during the course of reagan's administration, he would say repeatedly to mikhail gorbachev, trust but verify. so much that gorbachev got sick of it. [laughter] in fact, gorbachev stood on this stage and talked about how sick he was -- [laughter] of ronald reagan saying trust but verify. with donald trump, his policy toward russia is trust. trust vladimir putin. not trust his own intelligence apparatus. that is remarkable. that is absolutely astounding, that a republican would say, oh, this whole business about russians meddling with our election is over because, you know, my counterpart denied it. [laughter] >> yeah. >> think about how -- so

[laughter] that is a great story but there is a lesson that reagan tried to communicate to gorbachev of freedom of expression and we must break down those barriers between us , as you know he had a rare ability to see what others could not called the quality of wisdom. with the early '80s liberal intellectuals likes listen to her junior who were visiting moscow after being over there for weeks and weeks with those economic accomplishments of the soviet union we now know the soviet union was an economic basket case. when gorbachev came he was horrified at the shape of the economy spending so much money in the arms race. what did ronald reagan say at the same time? he was telling the british parliament that marxism was headed for the ash heap of history. he was absolutely right and by the end of that decade the berlin wall was down in the soviet union was no more. that sense of humor in decembe december 1981i wanted to present a copy of my book to him and my publisher said be sure to have a chapter of the attempted assassination so i did. and then said will they do something special on

bush with mikhail gorbachev of the soviet union at the time. this incident is about horseshoes. the bushes lined loved horsesh. the bushes left any recreational sport or game. they were walking the grounds near aspen antiregulation horseshoe pit, and bush tells gorbachev went to this. gorbachev doesn't know what it is and he throws a horseshoe and he gets a ringer the first time. so seizing the moment, the staff and the great builder shop take the horseshoe, make a black and give it to the president that night to get to mikhail gorbachev at dinner. it's these little personal moments that camp david is about and the phrase the spirit of camp david. it's about the place in the woods which is an fancy, very austere, good amenities but it's basic cabins, no brass, no polish, no marble. it's what you bring people like you do to your family room and talk about working together. that's what i saw my time there, i think that's what command officers and most staff see there in their time there as well. president clinton sing in the church choir during my time. he loved sydney in the chur

gorbachev tear down this wall. america at its best stands for both the literally and figuratively tearing the ball down, not building them and then you have donald trump-- [applause] if i can take it a little further, look at ronald reagan's policy towards the soviet union which was trust but verify. when he was talking during the famous summits during the course of the administration he would say repeatedly to mikael gorbachev trust but verify so much that he got sick of it. he stood on the stage and talked about how sick he was of ronald reagan saying trust but if i. his policy towards russia and his trust, not trust his own intelligence apparatus. that is remarkable. it is absolutely astounding that a republican would say this whole business about russians meddling with the election is over because my counterparts denied it. so that sound you hear is ronald reagan rolling in his grave. ..

there was gorbachev and gorbachev for a period. he's not anti-semite. i can say a lot of very bad things about putin, he's not anti-semite, he is permitting or supporting the development of jewish communities if they want to and in his case, no problems for us, the jewish agency to help those who want to emigrate and to those who want to build their communities. at the same time, the same putin is extremely problematic for democracy in russia. into t have to go further the presence of the courts, the authority's prescription, you name it, thanks that my friends, dissidents, find themselves in this capacity. as to the middle east with all the sympathy putin has to israel because it's russians , his main d to him policy is against america and for him it's very early and became clear from my own conversations almost 20 years ago, that for him iran is not -- he does have a policy towards iran and policy towards the united states of america. that's his way to show america how better he is. the same about syria. and here i have to say the one who really build

reagan addressed the people from the white house turned gorbachev addressed the american people fromhe kremlin. this is about 10 minutes. pres. reagan: this is ronald reagan, president of the united states. i'm speaking to you, the peoples of the soviet union, on the occasion of the new year. i know that in the soviet union , as it is all around the world, this is a season of hope and expectation. a time for family to gather

gorbachev terry down the wall. and to say this is a global nation and not just not just to be the president of the united states but to become the leader of the world is a huge responsibility. but also to close from the wall, 3 million, 315 billion u.s. americans. 350 liters, was incredible and then to see the rest of the world but then in those terms with the fortune 500 then to convince all of these economies and everything that was produced here. and then to become very competitive i am the leader. that changes nafta. >> so it is a $25 billion psychological statement? so in a way what is a big deal? so you say is that a bigger statement? >> i don't know it depends on the technology and the height of the wall so who knows? and so with 35 billion you could have one drone with somebody is crossing. >> but if you talk to people and 63 million voted for trump and there are a lot of people that say i don't like people who follow the rules or jump over fences. >> i agree with them and everybody we have better ways and

bush mikhail gorbachev of the soviet union at the time. this incident is about horseshoes. they loved horseshoes and any recreational sport or game. they were walking the grounds and there was a regulation horseshoe pit and bush tells gorbachev what it is and he doesn't know and he throws the horseshoe and hits the ring for the first time. so seizing the moment, the staff take the horseshoe, make a plaque and give it to the present that night to give at dinner. it's these little personal moments and spirit of camp david. it's about a place in the woods which isn't fancy, very austere, good amenities but it's basic cabins, no brass, polish, marble. it's where you bring people to the family room to talk about working together. that's what i saw in my time there. thoughbut-president clinton sinn the church choir. he loved singing in the church choir's every saturday night he would get the music and every sunday morning show up and take his place in the church choir sitting in the front row we call this q1 and ther pew one, theref cart one, p1 and he takes his place. the music

then you see, there's a moral, lesson here, something that reagan was trying to communicate to gorbachev. which is about freedom of expression, and how we must break down those barriers, if possible, between us. he had, as you know, rare ability to see what others could not. this is what we call a quality of wisdom. think about it. early 1980s, you had liberal intellectual liar arthur schlesinger, jr. and john ken neglect goal breath who were visiting moscow and lauding the economic accomplishments of the soviet union and they were lauding it. we now know that the soviet union was an economic basket case . when gore chef came in 1985 a couple of years later he was horrified at the shape of the economy. they'd been spending so much money on arms and an arms race. so, what was ronald reagan saying at the same time that people like lessing erand golbraith were saying if was telling the british government that marxism and leninism was headed to the ash heap of history. you can fine that people were pooh-poohing that but he was absolutely right, and of course, before the end of that decade, a

gorbachev, tear down that wall. they're always the same armchair academic types from think tank who have all the little crystal clear solutions and they get approval from their own small circles, but they're not out there in the real world. >> let's turn to the russia investigation. so a number of developments on this front, congressman, israel, this morning. you've got the fusion gps owners and they commissioned the dossier -- the steele dossier on russia coming out and saying, like our reporting has said, that that did not spark the fbi's investigation into russia. that, in fact, it nearly corroborated other reports, including one they say, and this is new, from someone inside of the trump camp. add on to that "the new york times" reporting that it was papadopoulos, this guy on the trump team, speaking in a booze-filled night in london with an australian diplomat. australia turns around and tells the fbi all of that, about having the russia -- having the -- that russia has hillary clinton hacked e-mails. do those

gorbachev, tear down this wall. america at its best stands for both literally and figuratively tearing walls down, not building them. and then you have donald trump. [applause] , if i could take it just a little further, just look at ronald reagan's policy towards the soviet union which was trust but verify. when he was talking to gorbachev during those famous summits during the course of reagan's administration, he would say repeatedly, trust but verify. so much that he got sick of it. in fact he stood on the stage and talked about how sick he was of ronald reagan saying trust but verify with donald trump, his policy toward russia is trust. trust felt. not trust his own intelligence apparatus. that is remarkable. that is absolutely astounding that a republican would say this whole business about russian meddling with our election is over because my counterpart denied it. think about it. that sound you hear is ronald reagan rolling in his grave in simi valley california. >> john was just on steven colbert. you artic

in fact, i spoke by phone with president gorbachev just today. i agree with our european allies that an american military presence in europe is essential and that it should not be tied solely to the soviet military presence in eastern europe. but our troop levels can still be lower. and so, tonight,i am announcing a major new step for a further reduction in u.s. and soviet manpower in central and eastern europe to 195,000 on each side. this level reflects the advice of our senior military advisers. it's designed to protect american and european interests and sustain nato's defense strategy. a swift conclusion to our arms control talks -- conventional, chemical, and strategic -- must now be our goal. and that time has come. still, we must recognize an unfortunate fact: in many regions of the world tonight, the reality is conflict, not peace. enduring animosities and opposing interests remain. and thus, the cause of peace must be served by an america strong enough and sure enough to defend our interests and our ideals. it's this american idea that

it's threatened in the same way that a republican president ronald reagan together with mikhail gorbachev threatened it if you like by bringing in the intermediate range nuclear weapons treaty at the end which effectively ended the cold war that very treaty and i haven't seen this in the newspapers at all that very treaty is wiped out in these latest sanctions that ends the last treaty that might stop. a nuclear attack on a lot of the congressional bill signed reluctantly i just get them to i mean we know the trades are mad no is it asian saying she'd press a button globe it was a loft of a mill it's in this context that you read this news that. we have to go to the pacific fleet says publicly that he would be prepared to destroy the whole of china using the table. is to say that publicly in in such and such a threatening for food is atmosphere in the world. it it shows the degree of irresponsibility if a nuclear war breaks out it will almost certainly break out by mistake or accident i can think for a moment that even some of the lunatics that have gone along with this this new legislati

history tv, we look back 40 years to 1988 when president ronald reagan and soviet leader mikhail gorbachev delivered new year's delay messages. three weeks earlier, the two leaders signed the ifn treaty to eliminate intermediate range nuclear missiles. president reagan addressed the soviet people from the white house and general secretary gorbachev addressed the american people from the kremlin. this is about ten minutes. >> good evening. this is ronald reagan, president of the united states. i'm speaking to you, the peoples of the soviet union, on the occasion of the new year. i know that in the soviet union as it is all around the world this is a season of hope and expectation. a

i'm sure there was a lot of gnashing of teeth when he told gorbachev to tear down the wall, but when i went to berlin, there's a statues of reagan there. i have to agree with my colleague tom cotton, it only seems that this mental stability question comes with republicans. my meetings with him are definitely showing something different. >> there's a tweet from president trump when when president obama was in office, directly questions of mental stability of president obama. so democratic presidents are questioned too, someone who happened to do the questioning there was president trump. just one point to make there. there was this meeting at camp david with republican leaders over the weekend. we're told it was a very frank discussions with the challenges, how tough of an election do you think this will be for your party? >> you know, it's always a tough election cycle. i represent one of the competitive districts in the nation. i don't take any election i have for granted. i know my colleagues will not, either. i'm excited to run on some of the successes we have seen. we have histor

>> the most important speech i have heard in my life on the global stage since gorbachev declared thend of the soviet union in 1991 was when xi jinping stood up at the end of the 19th party congress and said china is ready to play a global role. "we are prepared to become a global superpower." they have never said that before. tom: what was the distinctive feature for eurasia? >> it was that china is no longer small, no longer modest, they will no longer be underneath them. they see that not only are they bigger than they have ever been before, not only does china have can all it needed leadership under the strongest leader they have had since mao -- may be greater than that -- but also that is happening in the context of nobody else. it is happening in the context of trump. if trump has had one major impact on the global order -- and he has -- it has been the road that he has created for xi jinping. the opportunity for the chinese to just really occupy some of that vacuum. but the last time we had a big transformation of global order was the u.k. to the u.s. special relationship, gre

is he the gorbachev of iran. >> that's the question since 2003, because true reform -- revolution has to adata point or collapse. the key is often when you look at communism in the soviet union or apartheid in south africa, the key is economics. can an ideology sustain itself in practice. can an islamic theocracy sustain itself. promise to give the downtrodden and oppressed. iran has not been able to deliver what people expect. with the number of cell phone users, 48 million now out of 80 milli million, with the majority of the population born since the revolution and unemployment among the young, 29% and unofficially closer to 40 there are hot beds of discontent across the country. you haven't seen the kind of unity between poor, the working class, the young and the reformers, the liberals and elites and educated that you did in the run up to the revolution. we're not in the midst of a counter revolution yet. >> do you think when you traveled there recently that it still is true, which is my experience that iranians surprisingly pro american or interested and excited to meet american

. >> that warning from president reagan a reminder that of course led to gorbachev and a war.s related to trump saying he has a bigger and better button than kim jong-un. this after he said he might be on the brink of testing another ballistic missile. tim kane from the armed services committee, welcome. >> thank you, andreandrea. good to be with you. >> i'm wondering how you felt reading that tweet overnight. >> two thoughts. one, the president has had a steady pattern of undermining diplomacy, and if you do that, you raise the risk of unnecessary war, you make america less safe. so whether it's juvenile tweets, whether it's not even nominating an ambassador to south korea, whether it's undercutting secretary of state tillerson or secretary of defense mattis when they say the u.s. is never out of diplomatic options. over and over and over again what the president does is engage in provocative behavior that undercuts diplomacy and makes us unsafe. second, when he says he has a nuke ler button, he can't just fire nuclear buttons, he has to go to congress. no wars without congre

i remember my first meeting with gorbachev after that. i found that he had asked the same question i had, what is the distinction between what happened to chernobyl and what would've happened if a nuclear weapon had been dropped there? the answer, nuclear weapon is much more devastating. you can get it into your got the sense of the utter destructiveness of these things. ed: thank you all for the extra testimony and her service to this nation. all have reflected the importance of diplomacy and also the multifaceted challenges that we face. not simply in the military dimension, the environmental issues, there are demographic issues, as secretary schultz has made very clear. can you comment, and you might begin secretary schultz, our whole government approach to these problems, is an adequate at the moment? dr. schultz: it has been over a quarter of a century since i have been here. i come occasionally to testify or something. but what i know is i have run four departments, if you are not there you don't have a good idea of what is going on

gorbachev tear off that wall. this is a global nation.this is the leader of the world and president trump has to understand that when you elected him it was not just to be president of the united states, that he would become the leader of the world and that's a huge responsibility upon your shoulder of anybody and he is not up to that. he has been defending germany and spain and everybody but this decision, building a wall and enclosing 350 million u.s. americans, 300 brains and talent, 350 leaders and human beings behind walls, it's incredible. absolutely incredible. there is a wall out there that is 90% more than the united states. why would he enclose u.s. global corporations, fortune five hundreds in four walls [inaudible] it's incredible what this natio nation, right after world war ii decided to go to market and go global. they had a very bad time trying to convince all of us, to open our economies and accept the automobiles and the computers and everything that was produced here and we were convinced and accepted the challenge and

and my friend bobby, a globe, and a picture of gorbachev. and a mattress. and my friend lisa.>> jimmy: to the restaurant birds? >> yeah. >> jimmy: really? >> and on the way out -- this is embarrassing. >> jimmy: what happened on the way out? >> well, my friend is very gaseous. >> jimmy: bobby is or lisa? >> the male. >> jimmy: the male. and he did a fart count. on how many times he farted. [ laughter ] between new york and l.a. >> jimmy: he would announce -- >> no, there was like a list on the dashboard. every time he did it. and we picked up a hitchhiker, a female hitchhiker. she sat in the front seat. and she's looking at the fart count. like it says "fart count." >> jimmy: oh, it did. it was labeled. >> and all you see is bobby's hand just come grab it and rip it off. but anyway, yes, we drove out in a fart count van, jimmy, out from new york. >> jimmy: and do you keep in touch with bobby? >> i had breakfast with him this morning. >> jimmy: you did. what's his fart count now, 20 years later? is he still -- [ laughter ] >> he's a gastrologist now. [ laughter ] is that a thin

gorbachev, tear down this wall. [ cheering ] >> but reagan was elected, sure, to increase defense spendingbut he was elected principally on an argument that government should be shrunk. that welfare should be transformed. that the budget should be balanced. that he was going to be a conservative in the white house. and that was going to be -- that was his ticket to victory. so he wanted to be a president that focused on domestic affairs as well. and of course the contrast with the carter years was dramatic. and reagan wanted to say i can do much better than jimmy carter on the home front. well, in fact he set out a goal right at the beginning to try to end the cold war, build up defense spending enormously, build up nuclear weapons, and he did all those things. and those are actually the things that defined his presidency in many ways. >> but i promise you as your president i will raise the bar. i will insist upon accountability systems that refuse to leave children behind. we'll put in place programs that will say in head start we're going give our children the building blocks to learn to

countries are looking to do, russia might be violating strategic agreements that go back to reagan-gorbachev, what do you make of all that? >> well the rush shuns have long had focus on tactical nuclear weapons. they have them today. we have gotten away from those because at the end of the cold war we had a strategic weapons balance with russia and it worked. but today things have changed. putin has become much more aggressive. developed weapons that can be used tactically. it upset that balance. we have to respond. neil: so if they're going to have them we have to have them, right? >> well we can't just stick our heads in the sand and pretend it doesn't exist. neil: yeah. >> we have to morph our weapons development so that we can have confidence that we can prevent war. neil: but i always worry, general, that too many people having these type of weapons heightens the possibility of war? >> no doubt about it, it does. we are in a less stable environment today than we were 15 years ago or i would argue even five years ago with north korea involved but that is our reality. we can't just ignore

gorbachev and i both agree on the desirability of freer and more extensive personal contact between theet union and the united states. >> we began to realize that the best way to get a message to a foreign leader was to have the president go in the rose garden and make a statement. because everybody was watching cnn. >> cnn was a breakthrough. it changed the whole world. >> it changed quickly. the network news business. that business that we weren't the only ones. and it was hard. it's hard to be on the top little perch and have to come down off it. >> a special segment tonight, the network news. the first in a two-part series on the profound changes taking place in television news. changes being brought about by business, competition and technology. >> there were a variety of reasons why people who worked at the broadcast networks were freaked out in 1980s. one of them was cnn. and the rise of cable. another was being taken over by foreign entities in corporate america. >> new owners spend billions buying the networks recently, and all of them want their money's worth. >> people began

were able to do that before, and we had very fruitful exchanges with the soviets, not just with gorbachev but across the board, and got a lot covers as a result. and i think if we were to get back to that kind of thing, then this time we could reach out to others and try to really move the ball ahead in getting red of these -- rid of these weapons. >> thank you. manneditage, we had portable nuclear weapons at one time in our inventory. but we came to the conclusion that a nuclear weapon is a nuclear weapon. we also had a great deal of in 1983, that brought tactical nukes to blunt. this has been up and down the flagpole several different times. and i think the russians and the americans come to the same sir --ion that you said, a nuclear weapon is a nuclear weapon. you cannot control it. >> thank you. aday we have talked about number of hotspots today, europe, the south pacific with china, the middle east, and during this discussion there has been no discussion about the continent of africa, the continent of south america. i'm just curious him in regard to our diplomatic efforts and so for

they point to president xi's speech, calling it the most you politically noteworthy event since gorbachevon. joining us from washington for china,8 outlook for meredith. warou worry about a trade and who would started -- start it? certainly very high this year and we are likely to see signals of when that might take place as early as the u.s. ramping up the 301 investigation. we look at u.s. china trade confrontation as highly probable by q2 this year. francine: in your risk report likes a say that china vacuum what kind of vacuum are we talking about? political or economic? >> it's both. with the exception of a security vacuum with the u.s. still remaining dominant. you have the strongest chinese leader in decades and he has amassed enough domestic political power to where key can -- he can shape china's external environment and modify the rules within. iss comes when the u.s. turning away from what was a u.s. led multilateral global order so timing could not be better for president xi. that we are going to see in 2018 a much more influential and dominant china is looking to shape the te

speech imost important have heard on the global stage since gorbachev announced the end of the sovietplay a global role. we are prepared to become a global superpower pay they have never said that before. tom: it was a long to our speech. what was the distinctive feature for eurasia? ian: it was that china is no longer small. they are no longer modest pay they will no longer be underneath -- they see that not only are they bigger than they have ever been before, not only does china now have consolidated leadership under the sharpest leader they have had since mao -- maybe greater than that -- that is happening in the context of no one else. in the context of trump. if trump had one major impact in the global order his first year -- and he has -- it has been what he has done, the road he has created for xi jinping. the opportunity for the chinese to really occupy some of that vacuum. the last time we had a big transmission in the global order was the u.k. to the u.s.. special relationship. great allies. for the war together. now, this transition from the united states is not going to c

say actually violates the treaty banning intermediate missiles signed in 1987 by real estate and gorbacheves here, the our adversaries are developing lower needyielded nuclear weapo a thought if you very well develop a lot you may use them in limited base i don't think we have much choice, when our have this capability i think we have founded since 150s we all had developed nuclear weapons the best deterrents is to have a life capability ierr on side of cautions develop good systems deep keep that detier 9/11s right direction. >> when do we start buildings robust missile defense systems that can address threats from china and russia with defense capabilities as opposed to offensive capabilities. >> one major plusups in the trump budget for missile defense when has been authorized but money has not been appropriated yet, because of the budget caps. but, yes, it is it is absolutely critical, we have interceptorors, they work 0, or 70% of the time unreceive a we've got to improve sensors, interceptors themselves we have sea base on age eis cruises others that protect forces and bases has to b

you have a marvelous quote where a chinese official says trump is america's gorbachev.here for china that this is happening too quickly before they were really ready to be the global superpower? >> you're right, david. the interesting thing here, this is a story about unexpected -- an unexpected set of events. china thought it would take decades for it to be able to build up the kind of soft power and for the united states to begin to settle back into a smaller role in the world. that's happened much faster than even china's top strategists expected. this has created something of a debate in beijing. what you have tis the top leade who is al bishmbitious. in a speech he said china is moving to center stage in the world in this moment. there are people around him who say he is moving perhaps too fast to capitalize on the opportunities presented by the trump administration's america first policy and that this risks generating anti-bodies around the world. that he perhaps might cause other countries to say well, china is moving too fast. but he sees this as a moment really
