his first solo single was freedom 90 and he said i want have the same solo career that george michael howardtoo many people, george michael. and also in an era when pop stars are pre—packaged and glossy, i think what george michael managed to do despite all the success, he retained humanity. they do not become a stranger to himself. he retained his vulnerability and his thoughtfulness. also, his exploration of himself and his identity and turn that into a wonderful, enduring pop career. did he ends by the likes of robbie williams and other pop stars because he went from teen idol to adult credible performer? yes, i think georgia recognised how changes in technology and the way music was recorded, sold and distributed, there were opportunities there, too. he always had a businesslike relationship with record companies are was good at dealing with them. everybody there, executives, secretaries, receptionists. he would ta ke secretaries, receptionists. he would take the time and bother to get to know everybody. he was thoughtful. he was also very ambitious. that wasn't untethered to pragmatics,

and these are continuities that make war -- sir michael howard observed. wars resemble each other more than they resemble any other human activity. so if you acknowledge what makes war different, which is its -- you know, it's ways for political outcomes and nature, the human drivers of conflict, the interactive nature of war. war's a contest of wills for example, it helps you resist simplistic analogies. like some of those in the 1990s. some had to with moore's law and computing power equals fundamental changes in law, for example. it helps you to understand continuities. then of course the character of war is always evolving and changing. so what we do is we really look at four key elements. we look through this -- you know, through this four key considerations as we look to future armed conflict. the first is, as i mentioned already, threat, enemies and adversaries and this is to make a grounded projection to see emerging threats to national security and you know we don't have to be super imaginative, so we are concerned obviously with the two revisioni

and we have to do what sir michael howard said, not be so far off the mark we can't adjust once the real demands of the conflict reveal themselves to you. we're trying to adopt quickly to circumstances, learn quickly, develop situations to understanding with these problem sets and i think one of the things we have to really do is recognize that there are no short term solutions to long term problems. and if we try to take a short term approach to a long term problem we're just guaranteeing that we're going to extend the duration of our effort and probably just increase the scale of it. so we're really emphasizing in the army the consolidation of military gains is an integral part of war and warfare, it's not an option nal part. and so i don't think we're trying to simplify things, it is some sort of effort to get beyond iraq or afghanistan into a much better kind of war. but that is definitely a danger and i think across the force and some of the defense intellectual community there was a tendency toward that. if you go back to the early work, it's multidomain battle, i think we're on th

anyway, michael, susan, heidi and howard. michael, right around the room here, how did it happen? everything that was considered off base, out of line, wrong, and he got passed and somehow exploited. >> for the first time in the longest time i can remember the american people said to the political establishment and the media, we got this. we'll decide this election, not you. they wanted a nuclear option in this campaign and they got it in donald trump. >> and half the people disagree. >> yeah. >> i don't think this is what elected him. i think it failed to make it impossible for him not to get elected. he got elected because the number one reason people gave in exit polls for voting for a candidate was the ability to bring about change and the voters who said i want change vote for him by 6-1. >> you don't think it's the way he said the word change? >> it might have worked with some voters. but when we talked about the voters we didn't think he'd get that he got, it was the change message. >> the hail mary for change combined

and we have to do what sir michael howard said, not be so far off the mark we can't adjust once the real demands of the conflict reveal themselves to you. we're trying to adopt quickly to circumstances, learn quickly, develop situations to understanding with these problem sets and i think one of the things we have to really do is recognize that there are no short term solutions to long term problems. and if we try to take a short term approach to a long term problem we're just guaranteeing that we're going to extend the duration of our effort and probably just increase the scale of it. so we're really emphasizing in the army the consolidation of military gains is an integral part of war and warfare, it's not an option nal part. and so i don't think we're trying to simplify things, it is some sort of effort to get beyond iraq or afghanistan into a much better kind of war. but that is definitely a danger and i think across the force and some of the defense intellectual community there was a tendency toward that. if you go back to the early work, it's multidomain battle, i think we're on th

. >> with that, anyway, michael steele, susan page, howard fineman. i'll be back with another edition of "hardball." see you then. >> we do have a special guest tonight. i'm very much looking forward to this conversation. in the presidential campaign of 1984, ronald reagan was running for re-election against walter mondale. in august of that election year as things were heating up, the reagan campaign picked just a bull's-eye religious conservative issue, not just to work on as policy because he was president, but to campaign on for re-election as well. and so president reagan gave a radio address in august of that year and, you know, it was designed for the campaign. he was talking up what he was doing as president. he was haranguing the democrats in congress for making him do it. it was just one of these perfectly calibrated campaign year issues. and you can still get the text of the radio address that he gave on this subject, you can still get the text of it online at the reagan library website. here's how it starts, my fellow americans, i'm please

joining me now political analyst and former rnc chairman michael steele and msnbc contributor and former vermont governor and former dnc chair howardean. good afternoon, gentlemen. >> hey. >> michael, i want to start with you. the cabinet, i mean government saks is back. the house of goldman. steve bannon, steve mnuchin, gary cohn. now, these guys are, you know, highly qualified, have led extraordinary careers. >> sure. >> but many people in the country don't want to see this kind of leadership. donald trump disagrees. here is what he said last night. >> i want people that made a fortune because now they're negotiating with you, okay? >> are republicans in favor of this swing back to pre'-08, the go go days of rich guys running the country? >> you know, i don't know if there's a hue and cry against it. i haven't heard that. i think a lot of people actually kind of applaud this because these gives are bringing some conservative economic policies to the table, and i know that rankles a lot of my liberal friends who, you know, still believe in the days of lyndon johnson, but, you know, the economy is changing. these are men and women

much to say and then a couple of weeks ago when he met with donald trump and men michael as you said -- i'm sorry. howardyou can help me out with this on where we go from here. is the legal response not to do anything when the federal officials are trying to track down illegals? that does not happen because the city does not want it to happen? >> they caught a supreme court case and it says that state and local police should hold the enforcement agency. >> that's the law. that's the law. >> yeah, it is the law. in fact between 2005 and 2009 there were 28 percent of murders in five states were illegal aliens. i worked with donald trump when i was commissioner, and he was in a real frechbd to law enforceme enforcement. he should not give an inch to this. he should stop all grants to police department and cities that are though the helping immigration. there are about 4,000 immigration officers for the united states and 800,000 local state police officers. we should be protecting our citizens and not worrying at aliens. >> so it's illegal what the mayors are doing and what they want to do and the fact of th
