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. 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. 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 encourage you to read it. 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

mr. reagan? helms: i've got to take ronald reagan at his word.to accept any offer that may come to him for vice president. his exact words to me as late as yesterday were, "no way." i assume that is his position. >> [indiscernible] said,r helms: like i there is trouble in river city. i would not be leveling with you if i said i just came from a jubilant trailer. but back to the drawing board. walter: senator helms is one of the so-called independent conservatives. senatorbuckley, the from new york state, the presidential candidate here for he says that they have been in talks, though senator helms has flatly denied it -- there might be a walkout. and he was against a vice on the reaganpot ticket. he still has the capability to cause a lot of interest at this convention, to put it mildly. there is considerable passion here by continuing to bring before thers convention. it's very difficult to do that from the floor. for instance on the platforms, the only thing that they can do, where they got 25 percent of the votes for the platform committee, th

mr. reagan used to drink a glass of warm water before he spoke to give his voice a certain quality. did president roosevelt have any such habits? the other question, bag native new englander, is there accent of president roosevelt and jfk can county help them, make it more interesting to people, something people weren't used to? >> that's a really interesting question. i never thought about that last question. i'm not sure that it did. except from this standpoint, in the kennedy accent was a bit of an issue originally, and i guess the best way of explaining that is if you look at the first famous television debate he had with richard nixon, september 26th, 1960, huge event, and people who watched that debate on television thought that kennedy won that decisively because nixon had been ill, he had lost a bunch of weight, he was sweating. he didn't wear makeup. he looked nervous, eyes twitching and everything. kennedy, meantime, had been campaigning in california, had a tan and just used a little bit of makeup. he was smooth, and effective. so, on television, it was the look that coun

ford and mrs. reagan could not stand each other.eagan was very affable and got along with just about everyone. host: why did he ask them to services running mate? cheney hade was dick gone to ford at camp david several weeks before the convention and they were armed with polling data that said ford's best choice would be ronald reagan in order to unify the party and reach out to conservative democrats in key states like michigan, pennsylvania and texas in mississippi and other marginal states. reagan sincerely did not want to be, and so he sent word, told john sears to tell dick cheney that when i meet with ford, regardless of ford winning the not want tohat i do embarrass the president of the united states by telling him, no, i do not want to be his running mate, so tell him, please do not ask me to be his running mate, so john shares, reagan's campaign manager delivered the message to dick cheney and so they met in a hotel the night of the ballot when ford won the nomination but he did not ask reagan to be his running mate because

the downing street dinner party that prime minister thatcher and sir dennis gave to president and mrs. reagan on his last official visit to britain. there were six people around that table, and charles and carla were among them. he remained a close and devoted friend to lady thatcher right until the day of her death. in fact, he was the last friend to see her. i think that his opinion on this question commands, therefore, respect. so, however, does the opinion of robin harris who vigorously disputed powell's judgment in the london spectator. robin was an adviser to mrs. thatcher on downing street, head of the conservative research department before that. one of the ghosts who helped with her biography as i did and as -- [inaudible] and the man who helped her with her final book, state craft. he declares adamantly, i know that margaret thatcher would have fought for brexit with all her strength. charles' judgment was seconded in a a letter to the times by one former cabinet minister in mrs. thatcher's cabinet. robin's judgment was seconded by another, more politically substantial one, lord --

mr. brady: think about this, when president reagan started his reform, there were 15 tax brackets and today we're proposing just three. what we do is we consolidate down those tax rates. and so we simplify by lowering them at every level effectively eliminating the 10% bracket. and we do that in a way that simplifies and grows the economy. we also do it in a way that this fits within our budget. it's revenue neutral within real-life analysis of the economy. those were key goals. and so if you combined lower and simpler tax code with real pro-growth incentives for business and a completely different i.r.s., we think we position america for much stronger economic future going forward, certainly than what we have today. reporter: 30% tax rate, are you saying it would not have been possible to get down to the 25% in the budget blueprint in a revenue neutral way? mr. brady: we followed the principles we laid out simpler, flatter. we think this guarantees certainly makes more certain tax relief at every income level and does it in a fairer and fairer and simpler way so those -- flatter and simple

[applause] mr. tucker: thank you. thank you all for coming. i'm glad to be here. we've got a lot to cover today, so i've got to jump right in. in the introduction to this book, which, as on a just told you, the name of it is "conservative heroes," and they are 14 leaders who shaped america from jefferson to reagan, so we do have a lot to cover today. book, i haveg the used a quotation from secretary .f war newton baker he wrote this to one of his friends late in his career. he was looking back on his career as a conservative. he said, "i was one of a faithful band fighting a battle for a philosophy as old as the republic itself." the book begins with a definition of american conservatives -- conservatism, which i would offer to you is a philosophy as old as the republic itself, and then it of thishe development philosophy through 200 years of american history and the lives and writings of this faith will band, in this case, 14 leaders. these leaders are very well-known. obviously, jefferson is the

mr. trump: president reagan deployed similar trade measures when motorcycle and semi conductor imports threatened u.s. industry. i remember. his tariff on japanese motorcycles was 45%. his tariff to shield american semi conductor industry was 100%. that had a big impact. a big impact. hillary clinton and her campaign of fear will try to spread the lie that these actions will start a trade war. you already have a trade war and we are losing badly. [applause] mr. trump: she has it completely backwards. hillary clinton unleashed a trade war against the american worker when she supported one terrible deal after another. from nafta, to china, to south korea. it doesn't matter where she went, the american worker was hurt. you will be hurt worse than before if she becomes president of the united states. that i can tell you. [applause] mr. trump: a trump administration will end the war by getting a fair deal for the american people and the american worker. the era of economic surrender will finally be over. you are not going to see it anymore. i cannot guarantee it, because after me they will probably st

mr. forbes: flat tax is meant to make the rich get richer, just like when reagan reduced the top rate from 72 by 40%. a gift to the millionaires of a 300,000 reduction on tax on each successive 1 million in income. you are looking at things through the eyes of the wealthy. >> guest: i'm looking through someone like most americans who want to see this economy grow again, so people who start with the least have a chance to get more as lincoln put it improve their lot in life. right now you have a stagnant economy. who gets hurt the most cracks incomes are not rising for low income people. they are not rising for middle income earners and we don't have the upward mobility have had in the past, which is why we have political frustration today. so, a flat tax and that's why it's worked around the world it enables an economy to focus our resources and our brainpower on productive things instead of idiotic tax code. so, in terms of growing incomes -- by the way, john kennedy, we host talk about ronald reagan, john kennedy reduced income tax rates across the board about 23, 25% including the top a

. >> well, i'm sure he was happy to work with ronald reagan at that point. i think mr.rt worked for a lot of people and i don't think he particularly chooses clients on the basic principles. >> he doesn't do anything to get you on board. jeff, what can donald trump do to squash this possible revolt because people like christopher, people like steve, these guys are getting people on board. >> well, first of all, i would respectfully disagree. you know, back in 1964 when nelson rockefeller flamed out as the appointment, the republican establishment pushed in pennsylvania governor bill scranton. he was the horse they used to get to the convention. he got clobbered. these folks, good folks they are have no horse here. governor walker has come out and said effectively, sounds to e many, he wants to abolish the wisconsin primary. if that's so, do it in 2020 but the fact of the matter is is that about 14 million americans, republicans and i might add a lot of them are conservatives. a lot describe themselves as very conservative. they voted quite deliberately for donald trump.

and ronald reagan and george h w bush and mr. baker himself had been in power. , as baker said on a television interview, the church committee had disabled the intelligence agencies they could , have done something about it. so it was interesting, emotional. and i'm sure if mr. baker were questioned today, he would say i was a little overwrought on the afternoon of 9/11 and i said something that did not make sense. and i said something that did not make sense and it surely didn't. host: there was a number of think pieces written pointing back to the church committee, saying that intelligence gathering had been sharply curtailed as a result of your committee's work -- what was your reaction to that criticism? mr. maxwell: i think i share his view that it was nonsense. what was happening, and what the 9/11 commission said happened, was people failing to communicate, and follow-up the intelligence they could have followed up. and it had nothing to do with the church committee had done. these been the notion of isolated towers for wh

during the reagan years, the economy grew at 4.7% during his recovery for mr. obama it's been 2.1. the number of people employed by 22%. obama 11%. real incomes of families rose nearly $5,000 during the reagan years. they're down $1,600 for president obama. >> so let's compare. you mentioned the value of people's holdings, household median income in 2000, here are the actual numbers 57,342 and 201657263. pretty much identical. >> well, i wasted my data on the census bureau analysis of household income. it's published through 2014. and it's down $1,600. for african-americans it's down $2,200. but there are other indicators as well. home ownership, 48 year low. drug abuse and things of that nature are rising dramatically. suicides are rising. the middle class is shrinking. to say that this economy is better today than it was when mr. obama took office is absolutely absurd to. say it's better than it was, for example, during reagan's time is absolutely absurd. you know, we can compare every democrat -- every republican to jimmy carter and make the kind of statement she makes, that's a

mr. carter trust me. and a lot of people did. and now many of those people are out of work. biggestrnative to the -- in history. it reagan -- >> the 1980 republican and democratic conventions, with ronald reagan becoming the gop nominee and president jimmy carter accepting the democratic nomination. on july 1, the smithsonian air and space museum will commemorate anniversary. and un-american artifacts -- upin 1976, we were wrapping a golden age of human exploration with the apollo missions to the moon and we were launching into the first golden age of planetoid exploration with the missions of the 1970's to mars and the outer planets. we are now in another golden age of planetoid -- planetary exploration, particularly on mars. >> we tour the museum with the head of the space department and we learned about the story of human space exploration, from the moon to mars. and at 8:00 on the presidency, the former deputy assistant to president reagan and author of the book, "true reagan." thishave come to see that, relates again to president nexen, that a great -- nixon, that a great leader is a person that can discern the futu

mr. trump will surround himself with the brightest minds much like ronald reagan did and i do believe thatm. i do like his tax cut plan. for years, people have been, conservatives have been talking about the need to cut our corporate tax rate which was one of the highest in the world. stossel: you think he doesn't talk about entitlement because it's on popular with voters but once he's in office he would cut it? >> i do believe you would cut entitlements. i think there would be some kind of reform. stossel: an age limit? >> i believe there would have to be. i would like to see more referee market solution as far as entitlements like social security reform but i do believe he will have the brightest minds and like i said as a conservative, and i believe he will make the cut and he wi not touch entitlements but i believe he will help reform. stossel: that's where the big spending is. how do you make cuts without touching entitlements that one area that i agreed he gets the issue right is global warming. trump does not freak out about that. >> i think there'll be little change here. you will

there are two cases, each of a federal judge is hearing this, one a reagan appointee, one a bill clinton appointee, both have questioned mrs. clinton's credibility. both suggested there is conspiracy in her office to evade and avoid federal law. neither would accept the application, the application will fail. it is obvious that these people are trying to hide something. it is obvious that a tea kettle of evidence is about to burst and the clintons are doing everything they can to try to keep the steam in. and forces of nature will get that steam out, if you will accept my analogy. deirdre: i do indeed, judge, speaking of the steam, i want to make it clear because i didn't, the state department filed this motion for the delay because of the loretta lynch meeting. that is not confirmed yet. but that is the message i'm getting. that is a possibility. but is it your opinion that's likely? >> in my opinion it is likely that the motion will be denied but it is also my opinion that loretta lynch, formerly a very highly-regarded prosecutor with a great ethical compass, has now become a two-by the political hack dedicated to the po

mr. rollins knows this with president reagan, the establishment is against him, the media is against him and democrats. if they don't pick apart words that he uses, they will make things up. and this is his chance to overcome that. he is going to have to, because no one is going to withdraw. lou: to ed's point, right now, donald trump has an inspector general's report on, on her conduct in the email scandal, putting straightforwardly that she lied, that she misrepresented a number of issues and elements and did not follow what had been precedent as secretary of state in her communications as secure. that's not being discussed, ed, to your point. what is also not being discussed is, you know, the the clintons not just a email scandal but a history of scandal. >> other part is his strength, his strength. we're not allowed to have political discussions anymore. we have to live in this age of politically correct, in course of campaign that may come out, his strengths are at this point in time, people look at him making choice who will be next president. the economy he clearly wins as all cou

in the justice department parsed what the president had said as candidate reagan, and we said, well, we think you essentially, mr president, made a best effort, but we have these renowned folks who are so eminently qualified to go on the supreme court. and i'll always remember this. i wasn't present because the attorney general was. he said, i made a pledge to the american people. he didn't play with the words. the person has to be qualified, but perhaps the person hasn't had all the experiences that someone else, but it is time for a woman to go on the supreme court. i made that, i made that promise. well, mr. president, it wasn't a promise. in my view, it was a promise. so it was i'm a map of my word -- i'm a man of my word, and this is very important for the country. so what is the principle to be drawn from that? what are the principles that are animating the president? what is causing him or perhaps soon her to really think through how is it that i'm going to make this decision? what is this policy going to be? it can't simply be the opinion polls say x. it has to also be something that's grounded in princi

remember in school some of the power elite from california came , reagan's cabinet and nixon, they cheered and were happy he was killed. mr. talbot: exactly, southern california was a bastion of john bircher activity. john kennedy twice in his life decided to go into the belly of the beast and confronted that sentiment. the sentiment that said any negotiation is treason, which is what they felt. one occasion was in los angeles where he delivered the famous address at the hollywood palladium, and there were thousands of demonstrators in front, right wing demonstrators calling him a traitor. in the second, was dallas. ,nother amazing speech to read was the speech kennedy would have delivered at the dallas trade march if he had lived. is, we essentially said must get over the sense as a country that negotiation and peace is weakness. again, a very radical notion at that time. republicans,he they are all trying to outdo each other when it comes to rattling favors. and the democrats, to some extent are. saying --k o, is barack obama saying iran is not off the table. someone who is willing to say, let's rethink america's role i

. >> ronald reagan adopted jfk's telejennic manner, using humor to deflect questions he didn't care for. >> mrlking about the continuing recession tonight, you have blamed mistakes of the past, and you have blamed the congress. does any of the blame belong to you? >> yes, because for many years i was a democrat. >> richard nixon was regarded as not quite as quick on his feet, and he felt the wit of dan rather. >> are you running for something? >> no, sir, mr. president. are you? >> lesson learned. humor can always be deployed as an effective tool. >> jake tapper? >> while i appreciate your language about the logic of the health care plan -- >> was the reference to spock a crack on my years? i just want to make sure. >> no, i would never make fun of your ears, sir. >> thanks for spending your sunday morning with us. you can catch me here every sunday and weekdays on "the lead" at 4:00 p.m. eastern, 1:00 p.m. pacific. you can go to cnn.com/sotu, state of the union, for extras from the show. i'm jake tapper in los angeles, california. fareed zakaria "gps" is next. what are you doing right now? ma

so that the american people, folks like mayor reagan and the people of clay county have a voice through their elected representative. thank you. [applause] mr. ryan: i'd like to start by thanking cathy mcmorris rodgers and the members of our tasks for for -- task force for this very impressive work on this most significant work on our better way agenda. i thought i'd close by quoting one of the greatest supreme court justices, antonin scalia. he once asked, why do you think america is such a free country? what is it in our constitution that makes us what we are? well, most of us would probably say the bill of right the freedom of speech, freedom of press, right to bear arms, and true enough in those rights are very special. but justice scalia went on if you think a bill of rights is what sets us apart, you're crazy. every banana republic in the world has a bill of rights. even the soviet union had a bill of rights, he pointed out. and it promised a lot more than ours does. but there's a reason we don't remember the ussr as a bastion of liberty. because that bill of rights was just, quote, just words on paper. close quote. as justice scalia

. >> when i wrote one of my reagan books, i got a letter from a woman in the midwest, and she said dear mr. shirley, i go to bed with you every night. [laughter] and then she proceeded to explain how her treat was to take a bath, have dinner, get in bed and then read one chapter of my book every night. which i framed that letter. [laughter] >> so my version of that is people say, you know, you're in my home every night on fox news. [laughter] >> you're in my bedroom. >> i always say, well, it's unbelievable, this new technology that allows us to see into your house now. [laughter] oops. put on some clothes. [laughter] >> looking forward to reading your book. >> thank you. >> and lot of talk about the founding fathers, and i guess, what they would see here. i kind of view that as, like, a parent and a child relationship and as the child grows up, it's way beyond what the parents could have imagined as they've created a foundation. it in rea time, tweeting and communicating opposite polarizing views of what they heard. my question for you is more personal on merrick garland, we have an extre

mr. robot_dec0d3d." - how about global thermonuclear war? narrator: in 1983, the movie "wargames" forever changed the way we would look at hacking. - ronald reaganas apparently shown the movie "wargames," and he commissioned, you know, a study as to: is this actually possible? and everybody was expecting the answer was, "no, you can't start, you know, a global thermonuclear war "just by dialing up, you know, a computer accidentally and getting it to talk to you." and unfortunately, the answer came back going, "well, um, this is a little more possible than we thought." narrator: "wargames" also spawned a whole new generation of hackers. - i mean, i remember being a kid and watching matthew broderick do all that and going, "that's really cool. that's really awesome," you know? and, by the way, he saved the world. - it's the first time that you saw hollywood trying to depict what people could do with computers that went beyond just playing games and sending emails and got me even more excited in computers and computer hacking. narrator: what is hacking? who hacks? how and why is it executed? to get the answers, we went to world-renowned specialists
