[ foreign language ] >> it is now almost six months since our meeting in washington, which went down in history as a major milestone in soviet-american, and in international relations. [ foreign language ] >> now on this return trip, you, mr. president, have traversed the great distance that lies between our two capitals to continue our political dialogue. this is a fact we duly appreciate. >> maybe you want to say something, mr. president, to them. >> i was just saying to the general secretary that i had great admiration for the women of russia. i think you are courageous. i think you bring stability... you should know that the general secretary and i have one idea in common. that is that there must be friendship between our two governments. >> [ laughter ] >> we have been talking about an exchange of students on a regular basis.

helen started to go down, mrs. reagan turned around and grabbed her. she said come withab me. mrs. o she said well, we just missed our last best chance to get rid of helen thomas. [laughter] the president made his point. it was golden. >> on day two, reagan went on another walk. this time, through red square with gorbachev. >> there was a metaphor for the extraordinary journey that he had taken personally and the jury that the u.s. on the soviet union had taken in terms of their relationship. >> it turned out to beon the hih point to the summits. it wasn'tca scripted. there were people around them. reagan was saying hello. it was very informal, nice. >> not nearly as chaotic. perhaps because, they whispered to reagan, those regular russiansy? the kgb operative's. the reporteres asked the big question, he knew it was coming. do you still think we are an evil empire? y >> know. that was no time at another era. he put his arm around gorbachev. as a news man, doesn't get any better than that. >> he wanted to do that walk to say i g know longer believe in this evil empire. i believe in

and this was in mrs. reagan suite. so when she's there she could play slot machines. >> it's the whole detail is in the book, there were a lot of stories where friends created problems just by trying to be overly solicited and helpful. not so helpful. my favorite was ray, the famous producer of annie and what other -- a string of wonderful broadway shows. for annie, he had decided he wanted nancy reagan he invited her and said she would love to come to the opening. and her intention was to come in, sit down and watch and he decided he wanted her to come from the basement in an elevator that would rise up to the main floor on the stage, the doors would open and all of this gray smoke and steam would come out and she would come through that missed and i think we were the one who first called me hysterical about that. so, i told ray we were not doing that, he just went out of his mind. i'm sure he tried to get us all fired. but she was happy with the way it turned out. she did not come out on the stage. >> we are going to

. >> president reagan is now much more eager to meet with the new leader of the soviet union. >> mr. gorbachev, tear down this wall. ♪ ♪ ♪ >> in afghanistan today, soviet troops are reported on the move in several areas, but it is also clear the russians are meeting resistance from muslim tribes men and units of afghanistan's army. >> in 1980 the soviet union had moved into afghanistan. it was in anything raak nicarag. it was in the caribbean. there was a feeling, and i felt it, that the united states could lose the cold war. >> there was a model of behavior during the cold war, and the way i often described it, it was the red side of the map and blue side of the map, separated by the iron curtain. and the rest of the world we competed for. >> that fundamental clash between communism and capitalism, between dictatorship and freedom was the dividing line in the world that people assumed would last forever. but is a revolution starting to stir? >> there has been an unexpected development abroad. polish workers in the baltic area are standing firm in their strike against the government.

opposition, it worked to put pressure not only first three soviet prime ministers encountered by reagan, but on mr. gorbachev, it was a party intellectual. did not quite understand what hit him and reagan came. and did not understand how quickly we were building up our forces. period.very dormant i believe gorbachev lost his cool when he tried to undertake necessary reforms, which was redoing everything within the party dominant. like with the chinese are trying to. keep the party in control. perform it from corruption -- reform it from corruption and other things. totalitarian the ability to shoot the opposition and imprison them immediately. when the chinese in 1989 at the period shot and 62 cities people against the oppression and the uprisings became real, he lost the nerve to shoot. the reason i think he did was he realized a little but before that that his economic system was socialism. they called it the socialist camp, not the communist cap. camp. they could not keep up. the free world, free economy, free labor unions. that is necessary to make progress, to make radical change possible. mr

mr. reagan. i call him mr. because that's what we called him. he was informal enough when you talked to him. and even when you were in high falutant places, with high cabinet people, he was very informal. he would ask questions of people. and he was really funny, too. and he was quite decisive once he had the options laid out for him verbally and in the short papers we had to write. i would write a one-page summary of a seven of eight-page interagency plotting paper and cover the things that we had called bracketed language, which means diversions, opposition. and he loved to have those spelled out, maybe on the second page of some differences in the inner agency system, the state department was always contesting of the defense sites. a, he was worried about certain things, the jcs had their own views, and he tried to integrate. and i believe he successfully integrated. we has a staff tried to integrate and did succeed. defense, arms control and things that have not yet mentioned, which he also integrated, in very committed to, the moral aspects

even so, mrs. reagan gave as good as she got in their interviews. >> nancy reagan: oh, mike.e. >> wallace: you can take them out right now. ( laughs ) >> kroft: and in a 2006 interview, mike had no use for the idea that mr. reagan was a lightweight. >> wallace: baloney. he knew enough to bring an end to the cold war. >> okay, everybody settle. we have tape rolling, speed... >> kroft: an important interview for the clintons in 1992, when he was running for president. >> bill clinton: let me just say one other thing-- >> kroft: 34 million people watched as the couple fielded questions about gennifer flowers. >> kroft: she's alleging a 12- year affair with you. >> bill clinton: that allegation is false. >> hillary clinton: you know, i'm not sitting here like some little woman standing by my man, like tammy wynette. i'm sitting here because i love him. >> kroft: and for added drama, a light fell off the wall and nearly hit them. >> hillary clinton: you know, an average person-- jesus, mary and joseph! >> kroft: no one was hurt-- but it was a close call. >> pelley: mr. president,

missed by an inch. >> he told mrs. reagan, honey, i forgot to duck. >> what? >> i forgot to duck. hen he got into the operating room, he looked at the doctors and he said, please tell me you're republicans. >> reagan relied on this group of advisers. jim baker as his chief of staff, a really skilled, shrewd political insider, ed meese, a counselor to the president, and michael deaver in charge of the media operations. they ran the white house. >> the assassination attempt and aftermath elevated ronald reagan's popularity to a new high. the latest nbc news/associated press poll shows his job rating jumped ten points. >> reagan understood that he was getting this sort of sympathy reaction. everybody was rooting for him all of a sudden because they didn't want him to die. they didn't want to lose a president. so without missing a step, he goes right into what the message is. we've got to get this tax and spending bill passed and we've got to do it now. >> mr. speaker, the president of the united states. >> it was just like the movies. reagan was a true american hero. >> the president

mr. reagan was elected, there was a belief in some quarters, including in the intelligence committee, that the soviet leadership anticipated achieving strategic's by the mid-1980s. the united states had lost the will to participate in the strategic nuclear area -- area. soviet icbms could destroy u.s. icbm silos, and we lacked the capability to do the same, and there was a concern that that might encourage the soviet leaders to contemplate first strikes. it was an enormous change to that situation, when president reagan took off as he said some of the things that were mentioned earlier. in october 1981, he issued two documents, which were absolutely critical in turning things around. the second was national security decision document 13, which was u.s. nuclear targeting policy. that document is a presidential document that tells the department of defense how to handle its nuclear targeting plans. that document retained the focus of the presidential directive 59 from last year of carter's presidency, 1980, after the scales have dropped from president carter's eyes after russia invaded afgha

mr. reagan campaigned for won yesterday. >> that was ronald reagan in the first midterm of this is presidency, 1982. later, 1994, the first term visited president bill clinton in an epic historical loss for the democrats. >> tonight, the sound you hear is the sound of a moving van backing up to the united states senate preparing to move in a republican majority. as of this hour republicans picked up the seven seats they need to take control of that chamber. we still do not have a reading on the house of representatives. republicans need 40 seats to gain control. they're feeling confident and across the nation there is a republican sweep under way. the last time the republicans took control of the house was 1954, when elvis presley was a 19-year-old unknown and color television was just being introduced. tim, the republican sweep, what does it mean for bill clinton? >> when bill clinton promised he'd bring change to washington, tom. this is not what he had in mind. if these trends continue, it will be the worst democratic appearance in a race like this in 50s years. >> democrats lost eight sen

mr. reagan campaigned for one yesterday. >> that was ronald reagan's first midterm of his presidency of 1982. eight years later on november 8th, 1994, the coururse o f the first midterm visited the bill clinton's presidency. >> the sound you hear is a sound of a moving ban preparing to move in a republican majority, the republicans have picked up the seven seats that they needed to take control of that chamber. we don't have a reading oen tn house of representatives. republicans need 40 seats to gain control. they are feeling confident tonight and with good reasons. there is a republican sweep that's underway. the last time the republicans took control of the house was 1953. when elvis presley was unknown and color television were just being introduced. >> when bill clinton promised to bring in change for washington, this is not what he had in mind. it will be the worse democratic appearance and it raced like this in 50 years. >> ultimately that night, democrats lost 52 house seats. i should say that was 12 years after a similar sha-lacking of ronald reagan. sorry, never do math on live tele

and mrs. reagan to moscow when hosted a state dinner at the ambassador's home in moscow. either of you hold a state dinner or a state event outside the white house? >> whenever we did one of the summit, depending on if russia was coming, it was usually out of town and at camp david, one was in hawaii, there was one in chicago. if it was a white house event we were in charge of it. the united nations reception where the president would go in the united nations, host all the leaders and we are host countries, we would have to be there, realize and appreciate how much we enjoyed doing things at the white house blues not that you have control over anything but a lot more control in new york, had to deal with my first un trip at the new york library which was beautiful. to block off so much, the pres. and mrs. obama could just as well be in an airport hangar. you would learn let's just do it at the hotel. you just kind of learned by mistake because it wasn't your footprints. >> we have time for one more question out here. >> speaking of state dinners my understanding is now wh

one social office events, a state dinner overseas and it was during the visit of president and mrs. reagan to moscow when they hosted a state dinner at the investors home in moscow. either of you hold a state dinner or an event -- state events outside of the white house? >> we-- well, whenever we did one of the summits or aipac depending on a fresher is coming-- depending on if russia was coming. one was at camp david. one was in hawaii. there was one in chicago if it was a white house event we were in charge of it. also, united nations reception when the president would speak at the united nations he would host all of the leaders and so if we are the host country then we would have to be there and it made us realize and appreciate how much we enjoy doing things at the white house. not that you really have control over anything. you have a lot more control than in new york where we had to deal with my first un we did at the new york library, which was beautiful, but unfortunately because secret service had to block off so much with pipe and drapes the president and mrs. obama could just as

mrs. reagan was wise and that she decided that we would feature a president each year, sequentially. so we do not have to decide which president we should feature every year thanks to that portion of the conversation away from it. and we stopped along the way 4- 5 times to have commemorative observances like the bicentennial of the white house in the year 2000 with an ornament on that occasion. for all intents and purposes for george washington, all the way to harry truman, the white house christmas ornament has told the story of a specific president and this year it's harry truman. now, it was launched last monday on president today at the truman library and a dependence, it was a wonderful experience there. i would like to tell you about the three elements of the ornament that feature harry truman. i have one here so that you could see, we just revealed it. on the front is the truman balcony. this was quite controversial in its day when it was announced that harry truman wanted to put a balcony

mr. reagan. he was informal. he would ask tough questions for people and he was very funny too. it was prodding paper and color the things we had called language which means diversions and opposition and he loved to have those spelled out maybe on the second page and some differences in the inner agency system. the state department was always testing with the defense. he tried to integrate and i believe he successful integrated. defense, arms droll and things i have not yet mentioned which we also integrated and i personally felt integrated to. the moral aspects of what we were doing andrea timic. so the ethical things were also tied in with the freedom concepts. the city on the hill which was the western civilization freedom in the united states particularly and also in england and other democracies. that was always the perspective in which he did whatever he did and in the sense he was a life guard for his country because his initiatives turned things around. the adumpses were turned around. all the concessions and the previous decade didn't work. in a neat area of nuclear wea

mrs. reagan was wise, in that she decided that we would feature a president each year sequentially so we don't have to decide which president shall we feature this year. it takes that part of the conversation away from it. and we've stopped along the way four or five times with commemorative observances of the bicentennial of the white house. we did an ornament for that but from george washington in 1981 up to harry truman in 2018, the white house is christmas ornament has told the story about a specific president. and this year it is harry truman. now it was launched last monday on president's day at the truman library in independence. a wonderful experience there. and i want to tell you about the three elements of that ornament that feature harry truman. i have one here so that you can see we've just revealed it. so on the front is the truman balcony. this was quite controversial in its day. when it was announced that harry truman wanted to put a balcony midway along this colonade on the south

eastern, sheila tate, former press secretary for nancy reagan called the personal and private life of mrs. reagan and at 7:30, computer scientist and philosopher jaron lanier argues against the use of social media. mohammed also loudly details his journey to escape death threats in yemen after becoming an interfaith activist. he's interviewed by washington post religion reporter julie thousand. at 10, brick brock hauser remembers his time in the vietnam war as a member of recon company advanced into north korean parts of laos, cambodia and vietnam. and we wrap up our prime time programming 11 pm eastern andrew waller. he explores what happened to 115 british settlers who disappeared from the so-called lost colony of roanoke in 1587. that happens tonight on tv on c-span2, television for serious readers. >> thank you, i want to thank you all for coming today. and also to barnes and noble for allowing me to speak in this iconic la location, but grow. of course as you know the growth has not always been at the red-hot center of la. in fact, at the time that i write about in 1900s and 1930s, the grove

[all cheering] - how many timesat a nn is there real emotion and is there real interest in what's being said at the podium? - someone asked me to write a letter for a time capsule that is ling to be opened angeles 100 years from now, and i set out to do so, riding down the coast in an automobile, looking at the blue pacific out on one side and the santa ynez mountains on the other, and i couldn't help but wonder if it was going to be that beautiful

about one person, vladimir putin or standing next to vladimir putin, that he suddenly can't do the reagan, mr. gorbachev tear down that wall. people say they are not sure what reagan really meant. howie: i'm not saying the press shouldn't report these leaks. but that these where cheap shots from people who are supposed to be on their side. >> mr. president, is russia still targeting the u.s.? >> no. >> no, you don't believe that to be the case? howie: sarah huckabee sanders said he was the saying no to the question, but no i'm not ticking any questions at this meeting. the white house said the word were misconstrued. kat: i think the media coverage of this was overblown. when i watched that video, it's hard to hear. he was saying no, no, no, repeatedly. he could have been saying no to answering questions. "the washington post" is going to jump on that saying he's taking russia's side. given what the news cycle was at that time. of course, everyone is going to jump on that. howie: i thought it was ambiguous. i have a tweet for you, jessica. the fake news media wants so badly to see a major con

more because i know that he personally interpreted it during the meeting of president reagan and president gorbachev and mr trump obviously likes to compare himself to ronald reagan do you think when it comes to the use of the language similar. no i don't think they are different in terms of the kind of person that they are and that is reflected also in the language and the way they they phrase things and . in the way they try to convey their thoughts not you of course have a lot of experience in this field you took part in ten u.s. soviet summits you watch what happened today heard what they said at the press conference how would you analyze overall what we saw today given the fact that their talks went over time and just what we heard from them during the press conference. i think it's a shame that it took so much time to arrange the first full scale meeting between the two presidents i think it's good that they met i think that. it's clear that there might be the beginning of some. constructive discussions on some issues that really are crucial such as nuclear weapons such as stocks and i.m.f. where the

think of ronald reagan, mr. gorbachev, take down this wall.ransitioned the world in pretty wonderful, incredible ways. yet was met with such resistance. do you see any similarities, sir? >> yeah. you make a very good point. he was trying to introduce pershing ii missiles into europe. that introduced the anger. because he put pershing ii missiles in europe, cold war was ended. germany was united after 40 years being divided. >> 200,000 in stuttgart out there protesting. think of what he was able to accomplish, not just for us, not just for the world but also for germany that reunification that happened. >> he had to be tough. in that sense, trump reminds me of reagan. both of them eat nails in their cereal for breakfast. i thought this rosenstein press conference was a hoot. the justice department, they're like the judicial branch, the legislative branch, executive branch. they're a separate branch of government. they don't answer to any oversight. now they have their own foreign policies, a few days before his meeting with putin they will pree

trish: to talk about the fallout, former senior advisor to ronald reagan mr.rollins. >> thank you. >> good to see you. i haven't seen you since all this unfolded. my goodness. >> i watched you. you inspired me on monday, gave proper comments on what happened. worked out the way i thought you hoped it would. trish: thanks, ed. i think that you know, you got to be fair. you got to be honest. when it is great, it is great and when it is not great you have to say that too. >> to reflect on chaotic week, there was a lot packed into the pre-period. you have nato conference no one is paying attention to. you had a voice wit the prime minister of england which is important. trish: the queen. >> the queen. his highlight real was going to his golf course in scotland. then you sit down with a very important meeting with putin. this next one will be putin, one-on-one. it will be focused, i think to stern extent, if the president hadn't had the press conference, they had statements very positive, attempting to answer the press, obviously all part of this, i don't think he

we should think about nato, the uk, putin, former assistant secretary of defense under president reagan, mr. larry korb. good to see you, sir. >> good to be with you. trish: i kind of like that definition he gave, how would you label putin, is he a friend or a foe, he said he competitor. >> he is a competitor. it is not the cold war but the fact of the matter is, we have a lot of places where our interests are not the same. for example, seizing crimea for example. going into georgia. threatening the baltics which are part of nato. talking about building new nuclear missiles. so we have a lot of areas that he needs to talk to him about but what i worry about is that he will give putin something, for example, say, well, i'm going to cancel some of the military exercises in nato or maybe take some troops out of europe because -- trish: they're not paying for it? >> yeah. i mean that is what i do worry about. he is half right when he says nato should spend more. this is something both the bush administration, the obama administration said but they did it with their secretaries of defense but be

mr. goldberg: it makes sense. ronald reagan used to say we are never more than one generation with tyranny. we are not born with liberty in our blood. every generation and western civilization is invaded by their variance -- invaded by barbarians. we call them children, which means that we have to teach children. so that process of teaching children not to be barbarians which we have had very agrees of success at the goldberg household, is that starts in the , first civilization in which we are born in. that is the family. it seems to me, and part of my argument would be so many of the , problems we have in wall street are downstream of the deeper problems we have, the breakup of the family and civil society. and people keep asking me what policy solutions are, and i don't have money. push it down to the most lowest level as possible. i know you are sympathetic with that. how is that project? rep. ryan: it is a beautiful term that no one understands. it is, this is one of my big pushes in my current vocation has been civil soci

. >> david gergen, you think of ronald reagan, mr. gorbachev, tear down that wall. saying trust but verify. i mean they're tossing the ball around to each other. there is nothing -- there was absolutely no backbone publicly on the part of the president of the united states in the face of vladimir putin. >> no. the central drama, we said again and again, coming into this summit was whether the president was going to hold putin accountable as a price for coming back on the international stage. and that was not only going to include questions of the interference in our elections, the effort to steal the election, but it was going to include crimea and include what's going on in syria, include the poisonings in london. you had that list earlier. as far as i can tell, he didn't hold them accountable for anything. there may be something i missed. >> well, no, you haven't basically on this accountability. what we've been talking about a lot, this me tooism, when asked about the foolish tweet, he doubled down and said i hold both countries responsible, we're all to blame, w

mr. sec. spicer: ronald reagan and donald trump are about 180 degrees apart from each other daeshre we are full'sost: ronald reagan and donald trump are about 180 degrees from each other, so how did you negotiate that. was it a little the ants? how did you do it? sean: there is no question the is nontraditional and how he speaks. he has his own are not killer. but he also connect politicians and the way others have never done. he talks very bluntly in his own style. i do not think he would've won the nomination of a were not for that style. i think there is always this balance. elected officials say all the -- right things. in the case of donald trump, he is getting all these things done but people say, i did not like his tweet or how he interacted. i'm a result-oriented person. are people doing better? is the country safer? i think you-net, most people would agree that we can get the ratings than for the country than that is a better place than just talking about the right things to get done. watch sunday night at 9:00 p.m. eastern on c-span twos booktv. >> next, attorney general jeff sessions t

reagan was playing the role of his lifetime which was to be president of the united states. >> mr. conservative cool that would inspire future generations. >> he made it cool to be republican, which, you know, growing up was not the easiest thing in the world to be. so, yeah, he has a special place for a lot of us. >> like lee did before him, reagan changed the story of cool in his time. but the pendulum of leadership always swings back and forth. where will it come from next is anybody's guess. i've been making blades here at gillette for 20 years. there's a lot of innovation that goes into making america's #1 shave. precision machinery and high-quality materials from around the world. nobody else even comes close. now starting at $7.99. gillette. the best a man can get. after a scratch so small rocket you could fix it with a pen. how about using that pen to sign up for new insurance instead? for drivers with accident forgiveness, liberty mutual won't raise their rates because of their first accident. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ my dai need my blood sugar to stay in con

cyberspace strategies emphasize only defense, not offense as well invoking president reagan's cold war approach soviet union. mr. coats suggested if russia continued to try to take on the united states in the cyber arena, thenned administration should throw everything we have into that exercise. every member of congress, every member of the senate as well as the president has an obligation to defend the nation against all enemies, foreign and domestic. i am 1,000% convinced that the russians meddled in our election in 2016. they did not change the outcome but they did disrupt our election. the bottom line is there they'rl up to it. if you don't believe me just ask director of national intelligence dan coats who is a former member of this body. in august of -- in august 2001, the 9/11 commission found statements from the c.i.a. that indicated that there was something afoot that the lights are blinking red but they couldn't point to bin laden specifically. as we look back, how much accountability should the bush administration have and how much accountability should congress have had back then? did we miss the wa

and the other thing i'll take away, i'm old enough to remember ronald reagan turning and saying, mr. gorbachev, tear down this wall, in the most public moment of his presidency. where was that moment? ronald reagan didn't need a secret room. i'm not sure where donald trump thinks he does. >> and we'll hear the truth, once again, of what the president thinks at 2:00 this afternoon. we will have the pool, the white house pool in with him before his meeting with members of congress. thank you so much, admiral, rich eni richard anglengel, always great talk with you as well. >>> coming up, reaction from a former obama cabinet member, next. are you done yet? does it look like i'm done? shouldn't you be at work?

mr. president, i am grateful to you and i am humbled by a confidence in me. reagans ago, president nominated anthony kennedy to the supreme court. the framers established the constitution is designed to secure the blessings of liberty. justice kennedy devoted his career to securing liberty. i am deeply honored to be nominated to fill his seat on the supreme court. [applause] >> i am an only child. when people ask what it is like to be an only child, i say it depends on who your parents are. i was lucky. my mom was a teacher. and 60's, she taught history at two largely african-american public high schools in washington dc. example, taught me the example of equality for all americans. my mom was a trailblazer. when i was 10, she went to law school and became a prosecutor. my introduction to all came at our dinner table when she practiced her closing arguments. her trademark line was, use your true, sense, what rings what rings false. that is good advice for a juror and a son. the few women prosecutors at that time, she overcame barriers and became a trial judge. the pr

it wasn't too long ago when i was growing up that ronald reagan was told by the political wisdom in washington, d.c. -- don't say mrachev, tear down this wall. well, that wall's gone and ronald reagan's statue stands in its place. >> let me fast forward for the moment because we are talking about the current administration and we don't have specifics from the russians. what about that lack of transparency, and add in this fact part of the helsinki news conference is now missing from the official white house trap transcript, the part where putin says he wanted trump to win the election. does that concern you? >> it is very concerning that russia meddled in our election process. >> i'm talking about the actions of this administration and lack of transparency and in fact the fact that there are now parts of transcripts from a press conference into we all heard live that are missing and we didn't have anybody in that room to give us a direct readout of what was discussed between these two leaders? >> i certainly hope we can see positive impacts of the meeting in helsinki. i believe the president walked back some of his

mr. president, you have to go for berlin, for kennedy, truman, reagan. he said, what would i do?ance on the wall? he said this is a german moment, not an american moment. i will never forget that, it was just so much george h.w. bush, modest, a great sense of humility. it was the right thing, he was right. david: you saw him recently at the barbara bush funeral. did you have a chance to talk to him? condoleezza: i did. i had a chance to talk to him and tell him how much i love him and loved mrs. bush. that is a generation that will be missed. they were people who understood kindness and humility and gentility. they made their mistakes most certainly, but when you think about that family and what george h.w. bush did as a public servant, it makes you think of a wonderful time for our country. david: bill clinton defeated your boss. were you shocked by the outcome? condoleezza: i had already gone back to stanford and became provost. i was surprised. he had done what he needed to do. i don't think there will ever be a full accounting of how much it was the way that he did the diplom

reagan standing at the gate and saying tear down this wall, mr. gorbachev. i was there.s one of the most incredible impressions, moments i ever experienced as a correspondent. and now to see this wreckage taking place with our commander in chief supposedly, it really is shocking. >> andrea mitchell, thank you. we'll be watching andrea mitchell reports at 12:00 p.m. right here on msnbc, wouldn't miss it, especially today. elizabeth, thank you for being on the show. >> elizabeth, can i ask you, do people come up to you on the streets because of this fast pace, this moving documentary, do kids come up screaming asking for autographs of you? >> actually it happened over the weekend in brooklyn. i will tell you one person came up to me. i was shocked. that was it. >> by the way -- >> you should not be surprised it was in brooklyn. >> you were very kind to give us a tour of the news room. >> thanks. >> and i must say, the pace was a little bit slower that day than it is editing of this documentary. >> as they say, they make it very exciting. one of our news clerks says that he

when i had the privilege of working for president reagan, even though he said mr.v, tear down this wall, he was willing to negotiate with him get rid of what we call intermediate nuclear forces. going back to president nixon, they had negotiated with them. that doesn't mean you have to praise then. you can say we have common interests, we need to talk about them, but you shouldn't go out of your way to praise them or basically allow them to make statements about the united states which are not true like you know, whether they interfered in the election. all of the people agree with it. even people trump appointed agree with the fact that they did. trish: you are right, sir. larry korb, thank you so much. good to have you here. >>> breaking everyone, we are minutes away from the president's big jobs event. the president will be announcing a new initiative. it is all aimed at training american workers to make sure they have the skills that they need in order to actually get a job in today's labor market. in washington lawmakers from both sides of the aisle are urging

. >> you know, i grew up in the age of ronald reagan, ron reagan telling in that speech, mr. gorbachev tear down this well, saying trust but verify to the face of mikhail gorve chbachev. it's extraordinary if the republicans do not speak out about the change that has taken place in this republican party under this president. again, i mean, he is -- you know, he is literally fake ball with vladimir putin who is involved in the shootdown of malaysian airlines, involved in the invasion in crimea. the fighting in ukraine, the poisoning of british subjects, who are supposed to be our closest ally who the president views i guess as one of our foes because they are part of the european union still. what does this say about where the republican party is? and where do we go from here if the president of the united states doesn't believe the intelligence community, doesn't believe the russians were involved in hacking? what does that tell us about what is going to happen for the midterm elections? if he is not holding cabinet level meetings to prevent this from happening again. >> firs
