with the guests, and the first name on the list was president and mrs. reaganand the second name on the list was vice president and mrs. bush. nancy reagan crossed the names that. subsequent guest lists repeatedly proposed inviting the vice president and his wife, but nancy reagan did not invite them. she was not required by protocol to invite them, it was not a state dinner, the bushes were always included in state dinners because protocol required they were included but she did not , include them in that dinner and it was quite deliberate. brian: in your book, i'm reading, nancy reagan never disparaged barbara bush in front of the east wing staff. tate says the one thing have to say about nancy reagan and she never gossip to her staff. do you believe it? susan: i believe her when she said she never gossip to her staff. she gossiped to many people, not to her staff, but to others. one thing nancy reagan i think did not understand was the network barbara bush had built over decades in washington. barbara bush would recount in her diaries that nancy reagan would

the second day, the operator said, it is mrs. reagan, aren't you going to take the call? she took the call. nancy reagan began to try to explain what she had meant. this is the kind of conversation barbara bush have had many times with nancy reagan after public comments that seemed dismissive or disrespectful. barbara bush had finally had enough. they were out of the white house, she didn't need to buy -- bite her tongue anymore. she said that she took offense at it, reporters were at her door asking questions about it, which was not true, it was just designed to give nancy reagan heartburn. and she said to nancy reagan, and don't you ever call me again. and she hung up. here is what is interesting. in the first interview i did with barbara bush, she told me that story, which i found jaw-dropping. when i read her diaries, it was precisely the way she had described it in this interview, which meant it was a memory that was still, all these years later, perfectly clear to her. brian: had she ever told that story before? susan: no. brian: here's some video of an interview wi

mrs. bush knocked on the door and said, your dad has some news for you. david, you come to. jim baker was there. we walked in and president bush said, ronald reagan just called and asked me to be vp nominee. it was an incredible story. the next morning, president and mrs. bush i remember going over to have breakfast with president and mrs. reagan. they did not know them at all. they heard rumors they did not want him to be on the ticket. you all know the look. he was grinding those molars. they were both quite nervous. they went to the -- suite and ronald reagan had this big smile on his face and i could tell immediately he had put them at ease. i had a nice breakfast. i know i am going long, but on the way down -- they had a press conference after breakfast on thursday morning. they were going down in the service elevator. i remember somehow a conversation came up about their dress and president reagan set i wish i had been dressed like this or that. he said that remise me of this joke and he told a very funny joke. they both love jokes. it broke up president bush and to this day i think president reagan may have been an old hollywood trick to l

mrs. bush being escorted onto the platform and he sees that nancy reagan is bundling up president reagan. it wasn't that cold. he turns to me and says, i need your coat. i said, we don't have your coat. the real problem was there was no way to get the coat and be back in time before the ceremony would begin. he said, but i can't look hardier than president reagan. i offered him my coat very quickly said, where this one. he wore it out just to show he was in a coat, took it off, and was sworn in without a coat. he was very concerned, on this day, his concern was for president reagan and how some small gesture, walking out with or without a coat, might draw a negative contrast. it amazed me and said amazing things to me about his ability to look out for others and to put himself in some other place. [applause] lindsey: building on a couple of things secretary baker said in the first panel, i like to call you sometimes the ambassador's ambassador. -- of disaster. you were there with the tsunami and wrangling those efforts. tell us about that and the efforts -- tom: i thought we should talk a

also coming up a fifth day of heavy rain compounds that mrs reagan was.

mrs. reagan hated it even more. it was time to go. george's position on that was, i'm not a quitter, i'm not running for vice president. i said i know you're not running for vice president. but more people become president by first becoming vice president. that was the only time there was ever any real serious friction. and i should add here, i was privileged to serve as his secretary of state for four years. and i was extraordinarily fortunate to serve a wonderful friend and a beautiful human being as we all know. but to serve as secretary of state to a president who understood that he had to defend me and protect me, even when i was wrong, and he did, and i was wrong on a number of occasions. but he was always there, he always had my back. whenever i went out and said something, people knew i was speaking for the president. [applause] talmage: going back, after ronald reagan won the nomination and he's elected george bush as his vice president, then he beat jimmy carter in november and he chose you as his white house chief of staff,

mrs. bush5 minutes, knocked on the door and said, your dad has some news for you. jim baker was there. we walked in and president bush said, ronald reagan just called and asked me to be the vp nominee. it was an incredible story. i remember the next morning, havingnt and mrs. bush breakfast with president and missus reagan, and they really did not know him. they had heard rumors that they did not want him to be on the ticket. i think it was his nervousness. i had seen both of them. you all know the look. he was grinding those molars. [laughter] they were both quite nervous, but they walked up and went to suite -- suite and ronald reagan open the door and had his arms out, and i could tell he put them at ease. they had a nice breakfast just the four of them. on the way down -- they had a press conference after the --akfast on thursday morning and they were going down in the service elevator, and i was fortunate enough to be on it. somehow a conversation came up about their dress and president bush said, i wish i would have been dressed like this or that. reagan said, that reminds me of this joke, and he told a very funny joke. they both

mr. reagan who is involved with ample mentation and crafting of this ordinance. if there any reasons for that, this definition is that he can shed light on, we can talk about that as well. so yes, existing buildings energy performance ordinance, catchy that it is, appoints a really challenging place in the greenhouse gas reduction for us and other cities. today, 44% of the city's emissions come from existing buildings. we have wonderful ways of looking at new construction, upping the energy code, the requirements under construction, the challenge has always been for us and other cities, how do we tackle the existing building stock? how do we bring down the energy use and the omissions that are coming down from those buildings so as people say, what gets measured gets managed, and the challenge they have in the past as we didn't have a way of enforcing or requiring building owners to take a look at their energy use, and then giving that energy information to us. so in 2011, the city and san francisco became the first city in san francisco and one of the first and

mrs. bush crossed out, and an aide -- someone who knows says that they called nancy reagan and said you can'tunited states. and she said "watch me." >> martha: why? why did she dislike her so much? >> i'm sure nancy reagan has a story, her own point of view, but from barbara bush's point of view, nancy reagan just disliked her from the get-go. they were almost exactly the same age, went to the same college, but they were so different in their priorities and their character. >> martha: that's it. i find that incredible. that is when you think, was the root of the animosity. >> they both adore their husbands, and their husbands ran against each other. >> martha: "my husband is better than yours, i love my husband more than you do." deep depression that she remembers, that she was open about with you. >> in 1976, her husband went on a job she said not to take it, and suddenly he couldn't share things with her. she was going through menopause, she had an empty nest at home, kids away at school or young adults growing up, and she fell into a depression so dark that she told me she would have to pu

mr. president, fortunately reagan himself with some of his senior aides being opposed they had a wonderful relationship for eight years and he was a quintessential vice president so i know for a fact they both concluded that he made the right choice. so after president reagan's second term ended george bush while the 88 election and became the nations 41st president, during his presidency as you said he served as a secretary of state and during those years among other things the berlin wall fell, the cold war ended, germany became unified and the international coalition to win the cold war along all those international events the bush foreign policy team functioned flawlessly unlike almost every other president so what was it about his leadership skills and emotional intelligence that allowed him to have this great team that functions like a well oiled machine? first of all he knew foreign policy, he understood it, he liked it, he had experience in it, he had been ambassador to the united nations and director of the cia and he understood how the national security apparatus works and he sou

president i don't like the way you're running our country and iran say mr general secretary i don't like the way president reagan is running used but i russian meddling is obvious it is going on for more than one hundred years abraham lincoln surprise was a russian agent in san francisco in a show of support for him and the unionists during the american civil war the coming of the russian fleets was decisive in helping lincoln get through the last and most serious threat of anglo-french intervention you don't hear much about that and for good reason as then peace lenin's blessings be upon him there you have it concrete proof of president after president being russian agents you got it right mr pompei oh about the whole russia meddling. donald trump a broken fifty years of us foreign policy on monday by formally recognizing the occupied golan heights as sovereign israeli territory and the controversial announcement was made during a meeting with israel's prime minister who lauded the decision by presidential proclamation recognizing israel's sovereign right over the golan heights. this president ladies and gentle

mr. kudlow: so you got some old reagan folks still kicking. let me just offer this point of view. it is a very general point of view. if you disagree, i respect that and maybe we can talk a little about it in the q&a. president trump as i see it, , president trump is rebuilding this economy. he has changed both the psychology and key policies. by that i mean, in terms of psychology and his exuberance and optimism as a former businessman, he ended the war on business. he has ended the war on success, he believes strongly that if you do well and succeed, you should be rewarded, not punished. besides low marginal tax rates, particularly on the business side, i believe as you know, taxes matter a good deal, and i am a firm supporter these many decades of the incentive model of economic growth. if it pays more after-tax than investment risk and you will get more of it. and i think we are seeing that. a little bit of it in 2017, much more of it in 2018, and much more after that. incentives matter. taxes matter. regulations matter. the war on energy has been curbed. the war on fossil fue

reagan. a few minutes ago, mr. trump tweeted having the nra has been vital to #maga.gs at stoneman douglas high school. >> i'm the biggest fan of the second amendment. many of you are. i'm a big fan of the nra. i had lunch with them and said it's time. we've got to stop this nonsense. it's time. >> half of you are so afraid of the nra. there's nothing to be afraid of. you know what, if they're not with you, we have to fight them every once in a while. that's okay. >> he has since changed his tune. he supported the ban on bump stocks, the biggest change to gun laws in decades. in fact, the first time in 50 years. the federal government demanded a gun accessory be turned over for destruction. >>> rod rosenstein speaking out for the first time since the mueller report telling a group of lawyers, quote, the reason i stood there with a deadpan expression is i was thinking my job is to stand here with a deadpan expression. meanwhile, attorney general barr agreed to testify before congress making one of the only members of the trump administration to agree to testify. some d

ainsley: here to react, fox news contributor, former education secretary under president reagan mr.lorable or are democrats completely out of touch? >> that is just the beginning. deplorable, now cowardly. what does elizabeth barrett browning say, how do i thee, let me count the ways. how do i hate thee? let me count the ways. we're only 18 months away and it will get worse. it is also not true. if he paid attention mitch mcconnell is not very happy and made it plain with several things the president has done, like the latest thing on health care. then he singles out tom perez, dnc chairman, singles out lindsey graham. lindsey graham is ornery and independent south carolina discuss. you know what kind of guy that is, ainsley. ainsley: yep. >> he says what he thinks. there was talk in the white house dumping mueller and criticizing mueller, he stood up for mueller. he said no way. remember he opposed the president on syria and removal of troops from syria. so there is a lot of standing up. but, for the most part this party is standing with the president and that is a good thing. that

research and development position which was what this gentleman held during the reagan administration filled, is that correct. >> mr. wheeler: we have a hard time filling positions because we look at how long the process takes and they've told us now. the superfund has been waiting 394 days for confirmation we've had people say we don't want to go through the senate confirmation process, it's broken, and i hope it can be fixed on a bipartisan -- >> mr. van hollen: there's the confirmation part of it, there's also the reality that a lot of people have not been appointed. >> mr. wheeler: we've had people turned down. >> mr. van hollen: the suggestion in this article for the person who held this article is the reason that scientists are not applying for the job is that they think their work will be subjected to political oversight. . . dna. . to know that we are making a little bit of headway is important to mention in my opening when it comes to the 2.5 issue and how fairbanks in a geographically constrained area we have no viable options to folks are keeping their homes warm in the winter time turned to blood burnin

joining me now former reagan white house political director, fox business political analyst, mr.rollins. nice to see you. >> thank you. david: start with a nasty way to begin a campaign biden's campaign about charlottesville, and president's -- i would say mischaracterization of the president said about charlottesville. biden made it seem he defended white national implement ism, it of what president said he never defended nazis or white supremacist, he. >> joe biden has a record of pandering to whatever side is in forefront. he was going to announce from charlottesville, what happened, he was decouraged. you know he has never until he left white house two years ago, never employed a person, every friday he gets a government check. he had a languag a long career,t stay distinguished but a language careera longcareer, heo pennsylvania where i was born. david: you have done some boxing in your life, president loves to counter punch. this was a cheap shot taken on the the starting gate. >> absolutely. david: as bell rang so to speak. how do you think joe biden will take the counter

reagan antiques. we worked together 35-years ago, i was 13 years old. [laughter] bob: but you have seen progress? mr. kudlow: yes, we have made progress. a tricky business, it has to be a great deal. it has to be the right deal. it has to be an enforceable deal, and it has to cover the structural issues like technology and ip and a cyber hacking, and then of course the commodities, the tariffs and non-tariffs. we have made enormous progress. we continued that last week when they were here. they have been teleconferencing this week.we have made enormous they continue to make progress. i cannot say the deal is done. it is not done. there are things that need to be covered. so am i confident? i will just say i will play this , from the optimistic side. but there are issues that have to be done. bob the economy and where it can : go from here. a lot of people say, if there is a deal with china the economy would really take off. what is the limit? i know it's not the only economic indicator, but what if the dow hits 30,000? what is the ceiling here? mr. kudlow: well, look. you are asking me, i'm the happ

mr. smith and as much as i would say that fdr was transformational societally and reagan was maybe transformational politically. i would never forget that reagan campaigned in philadelphia, mississippi, asserting states rights, harkening back to the segregationist era in his campaign. to ourectively played better angels. reagan played to our worst instincts. beyond that, two questions. number one, and i asked this before, why is there not a push to get fdr on mount rushmore? miss green, what do you think about the current situation that is occurring at howard where these individuals moving into the neighborhood are using the yard as a dog park and allowing their dogs to defecate on the art itself and how that plays into the diminution of black people and black culture? harkening back to the teske experiment and how far we haven't come. d medford, do you want to go first? guest: when we are dealing with host: -- host: -- host: dean medford, do you want to go first question mark -- first? thet: when dealing with community we have a responsibility to communicate what we hold sacred but at the same tim

ronald reagan could claim 16 fresh votes as an aftermath of his meetings today with two southern delegations. >> i think mrot, he's through. >> anybody in politics must have great competitive instinct. he must want to win. he must not like to news. above everything else, he must have the ability to keep fighting more and more strongly when it seem that the odds are the greatest. >> the most important developments have centered mostly on a conference that richard nixon held last night. and he seemed to be trying desperately to win the south to his side. >> as a result of his statements to the southern caucus, black voters are aware that richard nixon is opposed to busing to help eliminate racial imbalance in the nation's schools. but he has a deep and basic opposition to open housing and he will try to capitalize on the political and racial issues of law and order and violence. >> i am going to cast my vote for that world statesman and that great american, richard m. nixon. let us look at america, let us listen to america. as we look at america, we see cities envoel lope e voeveloped flames. we hear sirens

reagan presidency and is now with the brookings institution in washington d.c. i'm happy to welcome tonight to the day robert kagan who joins us from washington mr kagan it's good to have you on the program i want to ask you what is the purpose of mr stoltenberg address to congress is he strengthening the ties that bind or is he trying to save those ties that trump has not already sever. well i suppose you could say he's doing both i think it's a very strong statement by a bipartisan majority in congress that they support and continue support and then alliance that served american interests so well for over step for seven hears and i do think they are sending a clear signal to president trump who has raised doubts about the american it's a nato in a way that we've not seen since that alliance was first organized the worries at nato are they a symptom of a greater unraveling well i think so i mean that look at the heart of this security alliance is the american commitment it was an extraordinary commitment it was an unusual commitment it was certainly a product of circumstances post world war two the dawn of the cold war and i think it even before donald trump t
