i thought some of my strongest insights into president reagan came from mrs. reagan. she taught me a lot about how to deal with president reagan and help him to be a better communicator and help me be a better person to work with them. i'm sure you will hear that today. and so, jim had the benefit of not only working with the president, but working with mrs. reagan. he had the benefit of foreign travel with the reagans and assisted in negotiating trips to china, japan, korea, france, england, and germany. and he was very privileged to be at the very historic bilateral meeting between reagan and gorbachev, the account of which in this book alone is worth the read. i will also observe that jim is very insightful regarding the president's communicating skills. jim is going to have to wait for my book for another view. in this book, there's an excerpt that many of the best speeches of president reagan, an element of research that is very valuable to reagan scholarship. jim was there, working with mrs. reagan, when she did the "just say no" drug campaign. it was not in the

jim was there working with mrs. reagan when she did the "just say no" drug campaign, and it was one of my privileges to work with her and president reagan on that speech they gave which was not in the oval office, but in the west hall of the white house. now i also did a little personal research into jim that he is not aware of yet today. i have my own sources in the white house. and i did find out that jim was asked to do a lot of things, impossible things from time to time. he was asked to pull a lot of rabbits out of the hat when he served the president and mrs. reagan. and on the trip in april of 1984 to beijing, china, there was a very important state dinner given. for the chinese premier. >> ziyang. and president reagan was the host for the premier. it was a reciprocal dinner. now the president was hosting the dinner for the premier. it was one of the brand-new american hotels, it may have been 2 hyatt. it was called the great wall hotel. the reagans were hosting the dinner. what they wanted to do at this dinner is t

mr. reagan planned to go into politics. gore vidal didn't realize that ike and reagan had something of a personal relationship that was about to get much deeper. reagan wasn't just studying eisenhower as any politician, he was looking at him as a role model. some of you may recall that just before the election in 1964 ronald reagan on national television, delivered "a time for choosing." this became known to aficionados as the speech. one point i'd like to emphasize, reagan said during the speech, he castigated the west. bringing freedom to people was critically who are to ronald reagan. one person sitting at home watched tv watched reagan deliver the speech, it was dwight eisenhower. he immediately called his former attorney general and said what a fine speech ronald reagan had just delivered. he then called a former special assistant and said what an excellent speech ronald reagan had delivered. there's an intermediary who would appear between the two men. freeman godsen was co-creator of amos and andy. he described as eis

he and mrs. reagan were in the skybox overlooking kemper arena , and he was not going to give a speech that night. he was asked by tom brokaw. are you going to speak tonight? he said, no. ford knows he is the nominee of a broken and divided party. he needs a unified party and the best way to do that is bring reagan down to the podium this -- to speak to the crowd and hopefully endorsed and unify the party because unifying the party will win in the fall and divided parties will lose in the fall. think about when republicans are divided in democrats divided in 1968. if he has got a chance against gerald ford, because at this point -- i mean, jimmy carter, because at this point, jimmy carter is 30 points ahead in the in thethe national polls summer of 1976, so he brings reagan down, but also, ford had also spoken and given arguably the best speech he ever gave, so they want reagan to look a little bit less shiny to his followers and make ford look better. and wanted reagan to endorse forward but not look t

mr. reagan. there is an interesting sideline. ongresswoman heckler is a moderate and she, in general terms, agrees with the reagan position but you will not be voting on that position, why not? rep. heckler: i don't require -- i don't agree with the requirement that the president select his nominee but i do agree it in the public interest to have all presidential candidates suggest to the press and to the public the names of their potential running mates. and i feel that would be a reform and focus on the vice presidency. so, i agree in part but not with the specifics of this. i think this particular 16 c is a political gimmick by a shrewd but desperate campaign manager and not a real reform. morton: if you say the people and the press should know the type of men or women being considered for the vice presidency, why not agree with the idea of having mr. ford name his man? rep. heckler: i think that would be disastrous. i feel the advantage of having the public and media know who the candidates are thinking of as the running mate

circumstances put me shut up against one side of the piano, and the other side was president and mrs. reagan, and the other side was ray charles and mrs. charles. tonight, we will be focusing on the trump children and their role in the campaign. over the years, you have dealt with a lot of family members from the republican nominees. >> i have, and they have all been very gracious. i have several pictures in my memoir bank, with candidates, and candidates' wives. they come around and visit the staff, and we appreciate that. >> is it still fun for you? >> it is still fun. but there is one thing i want to say in reverse. forve done this primarily the media since i came with the party in 1972. you started in 1980. over that. thi -- over that period of time, i have dealt with thousands of journalists. i want to say, you stand at the top. you are a class act. we appreciate it. >> mike miller, the feeling is mutual. we will see you in four years and we will come back for another interview. >> that's the deal. >> i don't think you can top that, susan. thank you very much. think youve scully, are bl

and mrs. reagan as personal friends. but he said, this sort of genial irishman and what you see is what you got, and he said, his he had one friend and he married her. i thought, well, how normal is that? even nixon had two friends. and mrs. reagan understood the unusual quality of their self-containment, but i think that he had -- there were moments when i thought reagan was pre possess at the obviously sill -- silly and other moments when where he was big and deep, like the character in one of john updike's rabbit books in the '80s who thinked about reagan in this way, about that he seemed to know very little but was like the old hedgehog versus the fox. i thing one of the keys to reagan is his film career. that doesn't go as far back as as deep psychologically as what bill is talking about but they asked him one time, how can an actor be president of the united states and he said i don't see how anyone who wasn't an actor could do this job. and i think that his acting career had paid him tremendou

i thought my strongest insights came from mrs. reagan. she taught me a lot about how to deal with president reagan and how to communicate with him and help him to be a better communicator and help me be a better bern to work with him. so when he worked with her, i think it was better to help with president reagan. he assisted in negotiating trips with china, japan, korea, france, england and germany. he was very privileged to be in at the very historic bilateral meeting between reagan and gorbachev. he is very insightful in his communicating skills. jim will have to wait for my book for another view. i really can endorse many of his insights into how the president prepared for his speeches and what techniques he used to become the great communicator. in this book, he excerpted manufacture the great speeches from president reagan, an element of research that is very valuable contribution to reagan's scholarship. jim was there when she did the just say no speech campaign. that was not in the oval office but in the west hall of the white hous

i'm horrified, fareed, this is not the republican party that i joined in the 1980s when it was reagan saying mr. gorbachev tear down this law. now it seems that trump is calling on the russian leader to carry out cyber attacks on his opponent for president of the united states. as you recall, this amazing interview that trump gave last fall to morning joe, where he was actually asked, what about the fact that putin kills his political opponents and journalists, are you troubled by that? and trump's response was, oh, well, we kill people too. it's staggering to me, because this is exactlyhe kind of moral relativism that ronald reagan and other republicans have been decrying for decades, this is the world view of the san francisco democrats, the people that jean kirkpatrick was denouncing in 1984 who blame america first, it turns out that it's actually donald trump who blames america first and he's taken control of the republican party and all these republican politicians like newt gingrich who have called for the expansion of nato over the years who have called for opposition of putin. it's a sh

i was joking last night this is like ronald reagan said, mr. gorbach gorbachev, i would like you to tear down the wall, but germany is behind on the nato deal to leave it up a while. >> it was very surprising to most of us. you can read the transcript and see the extended remarks. it will be interesting to see whether he gets to any of this in his remarks tonight. we've seen throughout this campaign dichotomy between where some advisers hope trump to go and where trump is. i think this is just a fundamental -- this is his view. he does have -- he has been on two sides of a number of issues, but there are certain focal points over 30 years where he has at a base level been fairly consistent and that the u.s. is being treated unfairly in some way or another, has been one of them since he kicked off his art of the deal tour in 1987. this is in keeping with that, but it is very, very different. >> if you're a foreign policy conservative, if you're an internationalist, if you're a hawk and you are scared of an emboldened putin in moscow, the notion

mr. calvert: ronald reagan was mention -- -- mentioned recently in the gentleman's amendment. ronald reagan signed into law cal-e.p.a. in the state of california. he also signed into law the first air quality district to regulate air in the united states. the south coast air quality district, in the state of california. which was authored by a former colleague of ours named jerry lewis. clean air is not a political or a partisan issue. certainly in my area, which has some of the dirtiest air in the united states, we have done a lot to clean up air in our area in california. we've included a great number of policy provisions to address e.p.a.'s regulatory overreach, which i agree in this bill. we've cut the e.p.a.'s budget dramatically. which i'm in favor of doing. there's a specific amendment that targets a program that's yielding great benefits. when you have a program that's actually working, we ought to keep it. many counties across the nation are currently nonattainment. with e.p.a.'s existing standard for particulate matter and ozone. in many instances, these counties hav

this is not the republican party that i joined in the 1980s when it was led by ronald reagan when he was saying, mr. gorbachev, tear down this wall. now we have a republican nominee who seems to be in ka hoots with the russian leader who is calling the russian leader to carry out cyber attacks on his political opponent, a former secretary of state, somebody who expresses nothing but admiration for putin. if you recall, this amazing interview that trump gave last fall to morning joe, where he was actually asked, now, what about the fact that putin kills his political opponents and journalists? are you troubled by that? and trump's response was, well, we kill people, too. it's staggering to me because this is exactly the kind of moral relativism that ronald reagan and other republicans have been decrying for decades. this is the world view of the san francisco democrats, the people that jeanne kirkpatrick was denouncing in 1984 who blame america first. it turns out it's actually donald trump who blames america first and he's taken control of the republican party. what's staggering to me are these rep

mr. trump to ronald reagan. i lost my first job to reagan. was in the convention for president carter and lost my job at age 25, in january of 1991 of reagan who became the president of the state. it was very different. he was a leader of ideology policy move. mentovement. he had a mass array of policy advisors. one of the most amazing things of 1991 of january is nobody had to tell them what to do. it was part of a movement of what's going to happen. you don't have that kind of certainty here. you have a number of statements that would be a dramatic departure. he would be opened to negotiating u.s. debts which is the most important debt and financial to the world. and it would be massively disrupted. the most important thing, i will finish on and ask wendy to comment is they're really not an alternative to global prosperity other than u.s. engagement. you have to go through the thought experience of region to region and globally. what does europe after u.s. asterisk the engagement and what does latin america look like after u.s. engagement.
