one whitaker is criticism for the way it shows president reagan and his wife, jane fonda plays nancy reagan as a butler, cecil. i'm inviting as a guest. >> but the president prefers for me to sit there. >> don't you worry about ronnie. i'm take care of that. we'll see you next week, you and your wife. >> director lee daniels is here, harvey weinstein. >> charlie, criticism, what are you talking about? >> the movie says he was indifferent to suffering under apartheid and he was racially insensitive. >> he gave plenty of black people money that wrote him. we say that's the opening scene for him, where cecil, he says, listen, people write me for money. don't tell anybody i'm doing this, but i've got to do it. we're partial to, and we're fair to every president. >> there's a scene at the end of it, when ronald reagan did oppose sanctions. >> yes. >> and being put against south africa. >> which is well-known. >> head of the republican party says, please, ronny, this is not going to do well. you're going to get overruled which he did get overruled by the senate and the republican party. we've sho

it was nancy reagan. know a lot of -- there was -- i remember vaguely at the time, there was buildup to what she could possibly be wearing and things like that. in the end, it was a very sleek red dress. so nothing truly extravagant. the lighting and a dark setting where you can see light coming in the doorway, there was a little bit of almost action in the painting. you go and see it, you have to step up to it. it's an intimate painting, it's small. that was the standout to me because it was so unexpected. >> is there anything that you want to conclude with? any thoughts that you have about this project or future project or first ladies in general? >> hard to put yourselves in the first ladies' shoes. they develop their own themes and projects and personalities which we get to know as a public. that's an interesting thing to watch. i certainly in flipping through and looking at a cursory look at the president's wives as you all and c-span are doing now, it's an interesting perspective on the white house.

obama may be his momma, but it is a fact that ronald reagan used to call nancy reagan his mother. what's creepier. >> you can say he's a celebrity. he was elected because he's cool. he doesn't care about politics. all of that stuff, way worse for obama. at least reagan didn't spend our bloody money. >> joe, does obama have a point? pop culture does skew the american dreemp am in a way. when i grew up i didn't know what people had. my dad was an accountant. i didn't know my friends were rich when i went over to their house. just thought i would tell you that. >> that's a sad story. >> i didn't have anything growing up. >> i kind of agree with that. it's interesting that the president is going off his constituency. yeah, it's true. those are not people you want to emulate or talk about. i don't agree with them sneaking in these messages, vacations and houses. i don't think i like that. >> it's almost like preparing you for the transformation which is to take our country down the communist path where we have nothing. they didn't even close in on me when i did that either, bill. >> did

one time when i was in office nancy reagan had her just say no program. she understood this. and she went to the united nations. invited to give a speech on the subject. she said very directly, solutions to this problem start right here. doing something about people taking drugs. it was a beautiful statement. >> host: in your book you include a letter from nancy reagan. >> guest: also a nice picture. at any rate she had a lot of pressure from the drug bureaucracy not to say which is said. just like her health, that is is going to say. she did. the impact in the world was just the drug bureaucracy. people responded saying, rape. so refreshing to hear that you understand that. >> are you still in touch? >> i talked to her just the other day. i gave her report. >> to find out questions. you mentioned earlier, mr. secretary, your father. >> i thought you said earlier you had two fathers. >> is a just to file questions in general. earlier in the interview you mentioned your father. you were your parents commander did you grow up? >> in the inner city. in my parents know best ingle

here is now nancy reagan, played by jane fonda, chose to express her gratitude. >> you're very popularveryone says you're the man who got the raise and promotion. i had no idea. >> i wish i could take credit for that. >> i would like to invite you to the state dinner next week. >> i'm going to be there, mrs. reagan. >> no, not as a butler, cecil, i'm inviting you as a guest. >> but the president prefers for me to serve in person. >> don't you worry about ronnie, i'll take care of that. so we'll see you next week, you and your wife. >> my wife? >> it is gloria, yeah? >> yes, ma'am. >> the movie spans a period of dramatic change in america, profound generational changes in black america. eugene allen and his family had to struggle with the challenges of the times on the street and at the dinner table. >> what is the name of that movie, honey? >> in the heat of the night. >> of the night, with sidney poitier. >> he is a white man's fantasy of what he wants us to be. >> what are you talking about? >> he just won the academy award, he is breaking barriers. >> he is nothing but a rich uncle

. >> rose: i think jimmy stewart once said or somebody once said that if ronald reagan had met nancy reagan earlier he would have won an academy award and never gotten into politics. >> it seems like he shuts her down in act iv of the play. he tells her "well, then, god be with you, we will keep ourself alone." and he shuts her out. and she has a scene where she asks him "why do you keep yourself alone? let me many?" he keeps her out because i think he's sort of driven to a sort of mad -- a madness of solitude by his own ambition and by the spirits he's seeing. >> rose: you mentioned what good qualities there was in macbeth, do you have to find -- do you search for those so that you can have some way to make someone who is a murderer in pursuit of power have this redeeming quality that is something? >> yes. i believe in that probably because of shakespeare. i learned that from shakespeare. the duality of -- for instance, for all intents and purposes "her haven't of venice" is a very anti-semitic play relatively and yet shakespeare can't help but write the speech "hath not a jew eyes, senses

. >> nancy reagan and her tough as nails reputation seemed to have a soft spot for allen, even if her was looking for it and somebody said that -- >> she's looking for you. >> yeah. somebody said the first lady's looking for you. that meant -- >> i'm in trouble, right? >> i'm in trouble. >> i'd like to invite you to the state dinner next week. >> i'll be there, mrs. reagan. >> not as a butler, as a guest. >> he became emotionally attached to all of the first families, but especially the kennedys. his assassination rocked him to the core. >> that was the first time you saw your father cry? >> the first time, yes. >> following jfk's funeral, allen was with jackie as she celebrated her children's birthday. in the times of mourning or racial conflict, allen was just a step away from power, yet the butler never sought attention and years later shunned multiple offers to tell or sell his story, until his wife passed away. >> i said you owe this to mom, man. i said this is not about you. the fact that my mother wanted my father recognized and this happened means everything to me. >> long aft
