reagans? i know they traveled to california. >> they knew nancy davis reagan's parents and socialized with themnancy reagan did meet them, and in the collection at the eisenhower presidential library, there is a notice of nancy and ronald reagan's marriage, but it's an announcement, not an invitation. they really knew each more -- different generationally, because ike and mamie were better friends with her parents. but as for first ladies, yes. mamie was friends with bess truman, although bess truman didn't come to the white house afterwards. with edith wilson and certainly all of the -- mrs. kennedy, mrs. johnson would have come to the white house as senate wives -- when their husbands were in congress because they would have been invited to those functions. >> we are talking about family life and how mamie's job was to preserve and encourage it. we will return to their farm in gettysburg and learn more about family life. >> alice evans is with the national park service, a park ranger and mamie expert here at the eisenhower house. how much square feet does this property have inside? >> inside,

. >> was she an early day nancy reagan? there are number of aspects that connect with modern presidents. i want to bring in a happy part of the 1920 campaign. accusations about warren harding's heritage. >> that goes back to the friction between harding and his father-in-law. the rumors have been going around that part of the country for a while about the harding family. the theory now is that arose because the hardings were abolitionists. they worked on the underground railroad. when you did that, people started rumors about you. the rumors would be that the hardings were part black. these rumors were floating around. one of the reasons he doesn't trust her judgment in men after the first marriage. also, he believes harding is part black. he is pretty vociferous about it. i will not print his language. he goes around town saying what he thinks harding is. finally he gets used to harding, but the stories do not go away. there is a fellow named chancellor who is a distinguished professor, went to all sorts of colleges, histo

and that was nancy reagan and her husband, president reagan.to be onboard with getting the prison population under control in this country. can you give me a state of the union on how bad it is in this country compared to others? >> sure. we have the best criminal justice system in the world. we also however are the country that encourse rates the most people in the world. some 900 people almost of adults, some 700 of all of our citizens. it's absurd that we're putting that many people in prison. here is the problem, it's not working. the state of the union of criminal justice system is, i like the system but -- everyone knows that incarcerating people does not cut down on other crimes happening. the studies are undeniable that it doesn't work. we have to come up with a better solution than just putting more people in jail than anyone else in the world. >> and i'll tell you what, we got to just clarify for everyone watching, if they're nervous about this notion, this is for nonviolent offenders. we're not talking about, you know, people with dr

everything from nancy reagan, just say no, to real implemented drug war that turned millions through the system. now that that's not there, this random crack cocaine ep dem i, we're in a lot of cases talking about marijuana, legalization and seeking legalization on that side the answer to get around that entrenched money lobby. >> i think it is under the right circumstances. we do need to think about what are we trying to achieve. there are real public health problems with drug addiction. there's a reason parents don't want their kids to have easy access to heroin. what's a cost effective and humane way of achieving the goals. i think there's better ways than rounding people up giving them decades long prison sentences. we know that. we see with adults who have background with drug use when they were younger, nobody thinks it would be better if barack obama had been sentenced to prison. >> last word. >> on marijuana, we put out a report in june. in 2010, 50% of all drug arrests in the united states were marijuana. blacks were almost four times as likely to be arrested for marijuana p

yes, that's former first lady nancy reagan with mr. in a sleeveless santa claus costume back in 1983 as part of the just say no to drugs campaign. and here's how tom brokaw portrayed that scene years ago. >> what happens when you team up mrs. reagan and mr. t? you get the a couple of course. mr. t made a menace b santa claus at the press tour. >> who been bad. >> we don't know what mrs. reagan asked for, but mr. t got something a little extra from her. >> all right. oh. wow. now that'll start of scandals. >> next up, it's a case of shooting first and asking questions later. sarah palin was the first and perhaps the most vocal defender of phil robertson after he was suspended from "duck dynasty" for the anti-gay comments he made in "gq" magazine. as it turns out, palin never bothered to read the article at the center of the controversy. her admission came on fox news with greta van susteren. >> there's a rather offensive zrings of it. there are two ways to say different things. and his in the article and i know he's a graphic type guy,
