mr. reagan was a very effective tax cutter. on immigration, there is no question about it, in 1986, mr. signed an immigration reform bill that allowed nearly 3 million illegal immigrants permanent residency in the u.s.a. after doing that mr. reagan promised the border would be tightened and that business people who hired illegal aliens would be punished by the feds. generally speaking those two things did not happen. with us now monica crowley in new york city and kirsten powers in washington. colbert didn't tell the whole story as we always do on the factor. am i correct about that, kirsten? >> well, what said was accurate. i guess he didn't -- >> -- distorted. accurate but distorted. i think the point that he was trying to make was that the fact that president reagan did -- he did raise taxes. there was a very small gas tax. there was a cigarette tax. these were small taxes but they are the kinds of things that today, in today's environment, that if somebody tried to do that. if a republican tried to do that they would have a very hard time. if obama had done it, you know, the 5-cent

mr. reagan would do and said look mr. ball player, you lay out the diaper like a diamond, second base on home plate, the baby's bottom on the pitcher mound, hook up here and if it starts to rain you start all over again. let's bring on the stage very important people. jeanine stang, who will sing the national anthem and the u.s. marine color guard is already up here. jeanine, would you up here, please?

mrs. reagan will not be here. following thisue race -- is she following this race?is not going to miss a minute of the debate. she is highly plugged in to everything that is happening. john: i think people do not recognize how politically attuned she is. it was amazing how much appetite she still had four hearing -- for hearing inside stories. she reads the papers every day and follows the news all day long. she has read their books. it is pleasing to have that happen. john: do you think there is any -- thather who thinks looks across the island things, although she would prefer a republican, some satisfaction for her seeing hillary clinton to have a woman in the oval office? republican.diehard you are picking up -- i think she feels one of her great strengths was that her husband may have been a pragmatic conservative. he knew when to cut a deal. she would like to see republican candidates show some strength in that regard. mark: i know you do not want to handicap the race. as somebody who has watched republican and national politics, talk about your impressions ab

mr. reagan liked trump's attitude. democrats trying to evoke reagan, using his famous, it's morning in america ad to hit the republican candidates. it's no surprise the candidates are trying to ape reagan, the icon most voters viewsa the country's greatest president, and with issues like illegal immigration, aggression by russia, a stagnant economy weighing on the country, all the candidates could benefit from many of his words including these from his farewell address. >> but in my mind, it was a tall, proud city built on rocks strong than oceans, windswept, god blessed and teaming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace. a city with freeports that hung with commerce and creativity, and if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here. that's how i saw it and see it still. lou: that's how i see it too, and i suspect you as well. and i'm hopeful our next president will be able to undo the great damage done over the past seven years

at one point during the welcome can he ceremony, i had the opportunity to go visit a president, mrs. reagan at their home in bel-air and was intensely interested in all aspects of desert storm, also our relationship with the soviets, things he had been voled -- involved as president. he sat on the foot stool facing me directly and focused right on my face and started asking me questions, and i think part of it was an effort on his part to companies -- compensate with him memory problems he was dealing with. i thanked profusely for what he had done because he was directly responsible for what we were able to do tin years later. now going forward with what barack obama has done, the military is terrible shape today. we just had the army chief of staff just retire, superb soldier. ray was the guy who actually operated on the ground and delivered on the surge and was successful. he commanded for a significant period of time, but ray made a spiech -- speech before the congress. he just retired. he said that in terms of the readyiness level of the united states army, that it is worst than it has

and roger ails advised him, and mrs. reaganus, and just go be yourself and stick to the principles and the messages, and so that is what he did, and so reagan came up with the line when he was asked about the age, and he said, well, i won't make my opponent's inexperience and youth an issue in the campaign. >> and it is magical moment in history. yes. and we saw sarah palin drilled blue card after blue card in preparation of the debate, because there was a thought that she needed more boning up on the foreign policy, and with that, mitch, you went back to the obama days, and the guy was brought in the saerngts and did you have to do any debate prep where him, and thinking that anybody is going that advice, don't study too hard and be you. >> well, sarah palin needed the help on the foreign policy as evident by some of the responses that she saw, and one being that she saw russia from the front porch, a ndnd with the presiden debate prep, he did a couple of things or the campaign did a couple of things to put him in a comfortabl

they stopped at a pub and i had a pint and mrs. reagan had a glass of carolyn.they went on their way and it was a photo op. for years you could go to the pub and see the glass they drink from. so when the so when the pump went under the reagan foundation bought the pub, dismantled it and put it in crates and shipped it to california and put it in the air force one museum. you can go buy food gifts and you can see what i call the reagan, it's behind glass, this this is the bottle they used the glass they use. in the book i discuss how presidential library museums are very different. for example, the reagan library is about personal character. it is thinks it is things he touched, places he was, people he affected. for younger people in the audience watch superhero movies, about how he was a lifeguard in illinois and saved 70 people from drowning. that's why he save the world from communism. the clinton library has almost nothing about bill clinton the person. the clinton library is being planned and the latter part of the second term of the clinton administration

this is a much more sober scene with mrs. reaganront row and hopefully and this is not going to be sort of a trump environment. so, if he filibusters and actually last night on the battle ship he wasn't doing so well. he actually -- he came to give a national security speech. he didn't give one. he talked about the veterans and he left pretty early. so, he is actually in an interesting moment because with ben carson surging, he is feeling some heat. >> i think everybody a.b. says makes perfect sense if the normal rules of politics were in force. so far they are not. and, you know, we can make -- you can make a very good case, this is not a good arena for him and all the rest of it i didn't think the first debate he did particularly well. i thought marco rubio had a particularly good night. and a lot of other people thought so, too. he has continued to decline in the polls. so i think that the results of this debate will happen outside of the arena when and if, if people sort of decide that this was fun and he we loved it for the sum

years of the campaign 1980 the year before the attempt, it was very clear during the primaries that mrs. reagan made it clear that he should only go out four days a week and then it went down at three days. monday through thursday he was an older candidate you don't want him to look old and be tired. this seems that he did tire easily he was almost 70. it happened so to suggest all of a sudden there is an attempt to comes out to have a couple of days he takes naps in the afternoon and read about that he would joke about that himself how to jump to the conclusion he had these terrific eight years following the you suggest he was arms mentally physically in a way that would cause him to do things differently than otherwise? >> you made my case for may. >> host: i did? >> you said before the shooting he needed rest and was an older man and had to look like they and had to give him time off. and then he was shot dead almost dies he is on the operating table they don't know if he will pull through the trauma is so intense are you going to tell me that did not effort when dash effect of adversely fro

during the welcome-home ceremonies, i had the opportunity to go visit president and mrs. reagan in their home, i spent a couple of hours with the president, he was still doing pretty well health wise and interested in all aspects of desert storm and also the relationship with the soviets. i remember he sat me down in a chair like this one and then he put a foot stool over in front of me and he stood facing me directly and focused right on my face and started asking me questions. i think part of it was an effort on his part to compensate for some of the memory problems he was beginning to deal with, but he kept me about two hours grilling me on what we were going to do. and i again, i thanked him profusely for everything he had done because he was interestly responsible for what we were able to do ten years later. now i think about going forward with what barack obama has done, the military is terrible shape today. we had the army chief of staff retire, superb soldier. he commanded for a significant period of time, but ray made a speech here, testimony before the congress within

mr. reagan is the postmaster general. look at the real issue. deregulation means release the powerful.he has deregulated foreign policy, that's why we have an iran contra scam. that's deregulated foreign policy. he's deregulated the business of human care. in 1980, the budget for hud is $10 million. we have houses that cannot get serviced. those that remained ademented to sell them all. in the situation, women have been left deregulated and vulnerable. more than half of our nation is female. yet more women are working, making less money. more women are heads of households cannot get basic care for their children. more children have a desire to go to school. they cannot get scholarships, they must get loans. the issue here is the deregulation of the commitment to human care. this administration has abandoned its obligations to regulate justice and fairness and regulate order and peace. >> thank you, and now mr. dukakis. >> let me address the transportation issue, and i hope what i say, my friend al can agree with me, at least this one time. i think he will. isn't what we have been talki

mr. reagan believed in peace through strength. i do, too. i hope to follow his lead going forward. lly about true safety. but probably most importantly, ronald reagan wasn't just a conservative or a republican, he was an eternal optimist in the american people. i share that optimism. i share that optimism. because you see, today now more than ever, we need a leader in this country who cares more about the next generation than just about the next election. we need someone who's willing to go big and go bold. because it's not enough just to elect a republican as a president. what we need more than anything is a reformer. i know a thing or two about going big and bold when it comes to reform. four years ago tonette and i celebrated our wedding anniversary on the day of the 100th anniversary of ronald reagan's birth. i remember exactly where i was at. it's probably dangerous to say this here in illinois. i was at the super bowl watching the green bay packers win. but that's a whole 'nother story. i see a bit of green and gold over there thavepblgts i have to laugh. a week ago i had prob

mr. reagan's mike off for the moment? >> would you turn that microphone off, please?> i am paying for this microphone. >> 25 years later, donald trump is showing the ability to hold down the mike. remains a selling point with voters in an area of fractured media. look at this. the first primary debe in 2012 drew 3 million viewers. it jumped to a whopping 24 million people to see that large field and the reality show star. so, is the past prolog for wednesday's debate? for historic contest we're joined by adam lictman along with our panel. does this contest remind you of anything you've seen in history? >> i call this the tour de france debate. like the great bicycle race, right now there are a couple of sprinters out front. donald trump and ben carson. then there's the pelaton, the pack of these distinguished candidate candidates. will one of the two sprinters falter and someone else emerge? what history teaches us is that you can only deal in the media and in the public mind really with two or three candidates. you can't deal with this pack, with this pelaton that be

mrs. reagan said she was going to play cards with her friends. you would think she committed treason. got causes going. but mrs. truman would have responded that it is my life and i got elected. it depends on the woman if she wanted to not get involved. women are so much more out than they were then. >> she was her own person. thanks to both of you for telling us your stories of the best areas margaret truman. thrust into the job after the death of franklin roosevelt. thanks to the white house this oracle association and to the folks at the truman library with their help tonight. ♪ >> american history tv is featuring c-span's original " at eightrst ladies ago at easter time sunday night throughout the rest of the year. next week, we look at mailing eisenhower. they were wives and mothers. some had children and grandchildren became presidents and politicians. they dealt with the joys and trials of motherhood, the pleasure and sometimes chaos of raising small children, and the tragedy of loss. first ladies looks at the personal lives of every first

mr. reagan, i think that was the last one i ever voted for because i just cannot see anything within the republican party or the democrat party. anyway, what i cannot understand is why the republicans keep saying that they are being the president. i do not back the president, i have not backed the president in .nything he has said but the fact is, if they would try to defend themselves in court and they played the same role as a are playing now in , if they were being charged with something, they sure would be locked up because they not defending themselves. they have no recourse to the american people on what is going on or demanding that the president follow protocol as far as the constitution. host: we will let our guest respond. guest: i think what you are goneg is the president has alone. faced time and time again the republican congress that did not pass anything on immigration. a republican congress that was not going to give him what he wanted on the environment or on whole hostsions or a of things. he cannot get a paid sick leave to congress, so yesterday, he mandates paid sick

he accompanied mrs. reagan to a soviet conference in moscow.staff depended on james billington's outstanding mind. he helped establish the congressionally mandated veterans project which collects and preserves first-person accounts of the united states veterans dating back to world war i. dr. billington helped create the national book festival which brings thousands of authors and readers to the national mall every year. so in every way imaginable, he has made the library of congress and by extension the united states a better library, a better country. now as he embarks on retirement after 28 years of exemplary service, i wish him the very best. i have no doubt dr. billington will enjoy time with his wife marnmarjorie, a lovely woman. they have 12 children and four grand chin. so, james billington, thank you for a job well done. we will all miss you. i would ask unanimous consent that my statement regarding dr. billington be ste separatedm the statements i made about the republican confusion, and i am going to talk a little bit about -- the pr

mr. president, imagine if 47 senators during the course of ronald reagan's negotiations with gorbachev, if 47 senators had written in the middle of those negotiations to mr. gorbachev and said ignore president ronald reagan. don't negotiate with him because we are not going to accept it hearing congress. they would have been -- there would have been cries of treason. it didn't happen. those were the days when there was a bipartisan approach to foreign policy in the united states. so today, we have a chance and an opportunity with iran that hasn't presented itself for more than 30 years. it is not going to solve all those with iran overnight, but it does solve, i believe, one critical one. the agreement retains u.s. freemen of actions to -- didn'tll, ronald reagan stop tying to cover soviet actions after negotiating an arms treaty. president all of our -- president obama should not stop working to diminish iran's influence after this agreement. i am under no illusions that for some time, i landed pursue a nuclear bomb. i am under no illusions that iran in the past about these efforts. i kno

mr. speaker. president reagan walked away from a bad deal in iceland. he walked away and then he applied pressure and as the consequence of that pressure he then got a good deal. in the case of this administration, they did not walk away from a bad deal during the interim agreement. as a matter of fact, this administration rejected the stronger pressure that this house passed with a vote of 400-20 and held that back up -- that bill up in the senate during its negotiations in the prior congress and did not give us the leverage we needed for a good deal but that is still available to us. and frankly we all have experience with north korea. we remember what happened, but iran won't have to cheat like north korea did to get close to a bomb. and that's because the essential restrictions on iran's key bomb making technology expire. they sunset in 10 to 15 years. and after these restrictions expire, iran will be left with an internationally recognized industrial scale nuclear program and that is what the president concedes. as the president said of his own agr

reagan presidency. he travels to west berlin and says, mr. gorbachev, tear down this wall. getting beyond that important speech he delivered and how significant it was in terms of reagan's approach to the cold war, the fall of the berlin wall, and the demise of the soviet union. >> it is an important day, of course. there was no operational policy that flowed from it in the reagan administration. that is to say they didn't follow up by coming up with a policy for how to bring down the wall approximately and the basic tenor in reagan's conversations toward the end of his administration is maybe this is something that could happen in several decades. to give another example about the berlin wall, i met him in november that henry kissinger said to him in november of 1988 that he thought maybe -- the biggest thing that would happen on his watch would be the very gradual start of a very gradual diminution of control. and the wall might come down sometime in the next few decades. and of course it happens within a year. and it wasn't because reagan said tear down this wall. when it

mr. reagan, i think that was the last one i ever voted for because i just couldn't see anything within the republican party or democrat party i wanted to vote for. so anyway, what i can't understand is why the republicans keep saying that they are being bypassed by the president. i do not back the president. i have not backed the president in anything that he has said. but, the fact is, if they would try to defend themselves in court and played the same role as they are playing now in congress, they would -- if they were being charged with something, they sure would be locked up because they are not defending themselves. they have no -- made no resource to the american people on what is going on or demanding that the president follow protocol as far as the constitution is called. >> okay, caller, we'll let our guest response. >> yeah, so i think what you're -- >>> and we're going to break away from this piece of washington journal. you can see that online. and back to the house rules committee, just about to get underway. the chairman pete sessions of texas, you can see him standing there.

reagan approach, the hopeful optimistic approach, or the donald trump approach? the approach that says that everything is bad, that everything's coming to an end. >> mr. trump? >> i'm on the reagan side of this. >> i am joined now by phone by ronald reagan's son, michael reagan. we talked before the debate. yesterday you were looking forward to whether or not any of those candidates lived up to the optimism and the forward-looking ability of ronald reagan. what did you think in watching it? >> you know, sitting here watching it last night, the one thing i was happy about is the fact donald trump brings eyeballs to the event so they are able to see all the candidates who are trying to become president of the united states of america. so that side of donald trump i think is very very good. even though it's very lacking in substance, if you will, from his standpoint. but again, it's about optimism, it's about leading america forward and making america number one in the world again. i think that's really important. i think these people are better off spending time at what they're going to do rather than what my father was able to do. it was a different time, a di

mr. stone. he said ronald reagan came from outside politics. it was governor of california became he became president. terms,yes, he served two but a majority of his life he spent as an actor and union leader. that is where he came from. two-termeing a governor of california, donald trump has run a billion-dollar , probably asrprise challenging as running the state of california. i am talking about where these individuals originate. it would be foolish to say eisenhower was not political. his politics in the army. one does not become a five-star general overnight. they still came from a discipline outside of politics. they were good at politics when they got there. i still believe eisenhower and reagan were the two greatest presidents in my lifetime. host: ralph is joining us from hartwell, georgia, on the democrats line. caller: good morning. i just want to say that i have talked to a lot of democrats in georgia, and i went to see trump in greenville. i think the democratic party is very solid with trump. it is time we get a business plan into

[laughter] >> how about this question i was putting about whether he would have been anything differently if you did it again? is there anything on the american side you think you might have looked at begin differently? >> well, i think it was a good thing to build up our strength, and president reagan first day in office was to build our military back up. military people were not even wearing their uniforms in the pentagon. we increased the budget. this budget director didn't like it but he did it anyway. and then we got our economy moving and we worked to see that we have the strength before we really wanted to engage heavily. and by the time we got to early 83, things are beginning to roll very well. so that was good. i think my biggest disappointment came at the end. in december of 1988, after our election, george bush was then president-elect, gorbachev came to

mr. stone. he said reagan came from outside politics. he was governor of california before he became president. >> yes. he served two term, but majority of his life, he spent as an actor and union lead e. that's where he came from. akin to being a two-term governor of california, trump has run a billion dollar business enterprise. probably as challenging as running the state of california. again, i'm talking about where these individuals originate. it would be foolish to say that eisenhower was not political. there's plolitics in the armimet one does not become a five star jen overnight, but they still came from the discipline outside of politics and they were both good at politics when they got there. i still believe eisenhower and reagan were the two greatest presidents of my lifetime. >> rob is joining us. democrats line. >> good morning. i just want to say that i've talked to a lot of democrats in georgia. in fact, i went up to see trump in greenville. i think democratic party is very, very solid with trump. it's time that we get a b

ronald reagan was able to do that. mr. president, i am so concerned. i am seeing the republican party, not the party of dwight eisenhower, as i have studied him, or the man ronald reagan as i knew him. i think it's very, very sad that the republican leaders to win seats in 20 i guess now have taken over control of the party. to say that i will miss john boehner is a tremendous understatement. i look for him in ways that i could and he looked out for me in ways that he could. i will always consider john boehner my friend. and i look forward to working with him until he leaves. i understand it's going to be in late october. but i will continue to work with him as i have in the past to do the right thing for the country as he will. and hopefully we will continue someplace in the middle to get things done. i have gotten things down that i wasn't happy with. and sometimes he wasn't happy with. but you do the best you can. i wish john baylor the very best in the future. whatever i can do to make his life more pleasant i will be happy to do that. whether it is

reagan, right? yes, tom... yeah, pincus, rutgers university. of course, hi. this is alicia. this is mr. pincus. he interviewed nicky last month. and was greatly impressed. great. i'm sure she'll have a lot of great choices. but not rutgers? that would be out of bounds for me to discuss. i'm sure you understand. nice to see you again. tom, wait. please, is there anything you can say about nicky? let's just say the university hopes that parents have a good handle on their students' social media activity. nice to meet you. (siren wailing) female assault victim. and then some, broken arm, broken rib, concussion, probable internal bleeding. doctor, this is my husband and his partner. hope you two can get her to talk. only thing she said so far is she deserved this. i'm a detective with the nypd. will you talk to us? leave me alone. you're in good hands now, okay? you're safe. can you just tell me your name, all right? tina mcdermott. tina? tina, tell me who did this to you. i know you're afraid. i promise you, if you tell me who did this, we will find him, and he will never hurt you again. but he-he

mr. trump? [ laughter ] >> david shuster, al jazeera. >> so what did the event at the reagan library tell us, showabout the republican field, it's strengths, it's weaknesses about the shape of the race going forward. one thing i won't be asking tonight is who one? because i think it's a pointless question. joining me is the executive director of the progress action fund, associate processor of political science at howard university, and political strategy, founding partner of purple strategy. bruce, right out of the gate, donald trump was making fun of rand paul's appearance. it was not exactly an auspicious first half hour with this new technique of trying to get them to take shots at each other instead of having the moderator exchange. >> yeah, it was almost like a box of cereal that we had to work our way through the cardboard to get to the good stuff inside. we did get there after we waited through some personality issues and a lot of these the opening four questions was about donald trump and some of the things he has about the other candidates. but we did get to some substantive exchange on
