michael reagan is my guest.: it's nice to have this discussion with you because you have experience and inside information on how this works. is it fair to say just about every administration has leaked some information at one time or another. and it can be a useful device? >> normally you have a leaker within the white house who is charged with leak together media to get your story out to beat the press and make yourself look good. david gergen was leaking information to the media. every administration has had it. but how far do you go with what you leak out? this so much smells like the obama administration because they are so much into themselves and patting themselves on the back and say look at me, when you have the republicans who say this man is not strong with defense, you have a president picking out the exact targets that the drones are going to go in and fire at and take out. this is outrageous, these kinds of leaks going out. it puts the president of the united states in harm's way in the future beca

the reality is michael, that ronald reagan would not fit in the republican party as it is today.that's what he said in his initial comment. grover norquist called it bizarre. one blogger saying a steaming pile of nonsense. then we get the follow-up twitter. why isn't that a backtrack? we talk about the troubles of the party today. >> because in the follow-up twitter, he doesn't retract any of those statements. he expands upon them. i don't hear where he is taking back anything that he offered. the fact it is coming from jeb bush makes him upset. >> he does go on both sides are doing this. at the time, he was focused in -- we were talking about women's issues. we might relate to each other as a woman and some of the things apply to men. he was talking about the problem in his quote/unquote family. not his biological family, but his party. >> i think michael is right. he did not retract anything he said. just because he expanded it doesn't mean he is taking back what he said. jeb bush is still consider ed a contender. many say jeb bush may be the v.p. pick. he knows when to endorse

reagan created. that he envisioned." let's turn to joan walsh, editor at large for salon.com. welcome to the show, joan. >> thanks, michael. >> is grover norquist engaging in some revisionist history here, joan, that really misses the point of what we clearly saw reagan doing? >> well, yeah, of course he is. of course he wants to claim reagan for this party that he's created that has brought the country to the brink of a debt crisis and continues to mire the country in a terrible recession, michael. he needs to say, ronald reagan wanted that. ronald reagan would have endorsed that. but i think it's actually more interesting to look at what jeb bush is doing because while he's declaring his independence from grover norquist and his party, he's also delivering a kind of vote of no confidence in mitt romney even though he's endorsed him. because i see that as -- it is a bizarre statement for someone if you think -- it's not something you say if you think your party is headed to a great win in november. it's really the kind of thing you hear the morning after an election where you've done very badly. i really wonder what's up

michael steele and ron reagan, both are msnbc political analysts. know, mark mckinnon said that romney's got a problem here. when you avoid specifics, he writes today, quote until and unless the gop presidential nominees will be to outline specifically what he envisions as a long-term solution to illegal immigration, he'll be the loser anytime. let me go to michael on this. if you got a strong issue like the economy, you say how bad things are, but at some point, you have to say what you're going to do. does romney have the proof that he has the solution? >> no, i think you're right. >> i'm asking. >> i said you're right. i think he does have to put the proof in the pudding in terms of defining what he will do as president. but i think you know, after the looking at the strategy up until now and talking to some of the folks around this campaign, what they're doing is they're mapping out something that's a little more long ball. they're not looking to play to every issue that pops up right now, whether immigration or supreme court decision. but i thi

with me are michael steele and ron reagan.

that's what reagan benefitted from. >> michael steele, isn't it true we tend to give politicians too much credit and blame? that there are things going on, they're not calling the shot for, but happy to take the praise and reluctant to take the critici criticism. >> there's a real truth there that you come into office. we spent a first three and a half years listening to barack obama whine about george bush, for example, so there is, there's some u truth to that, but there's also the reality that commercial is a reflection of the steps and the efforts that the governor has taken in his state to turn around. to work with the republican led to put the businesses back to work. i think you've got to be very careful when you try to federalize the states and work that they're doing. i speak as a former lieutenant governor where he inherited a $2 billion deficit from the previous democrat administration. over the course of four years, fixed that, raised an additional 2 billion in revenue that we were able to put in the bank and we did it without raising taxes and relying on the federal gove
