and you can -- this is why i said, nancy reagan made me who i am. because i said, i want this feeling again. and for the next dinner, i want to feel that feeling again. and it worked for me. it worked for me. and if it's flat, if it did not work this way, i did not feel very good for myself, okay? question now, question, anybody question, please? yes, young man. ah! remember what i said earlier, if someone talk to you, listen. especially if you're a waiter or an engineer, it doesn't matter. because you see engineers that don't listen, we'll see what happens with the d.c. subway, okay? all right? i won't say no more. yes. [ inaudible question ] >> i don't have any idea, okay? no. okay, next please. yes? >> the dessert that you got the most compliments on? >> well, i would say the dessert that -- the one for the emperor of japan. i wanted to create a dessert for the emperor of japan that nobody knows what it is until they dig into it. i see this comment very well. they were big bowls that looked like an oversize d -- the size f inside a bowl. that bow

i loved to work for her, because she knew what she wanted, that's nancy reagan. trust me you better do what she asked you to do and do it the right way. and that's nothing wrong there. again, i love to work for people like this. i would rather do that than people, oh, i don't know, i'm not too sure, we don't want that, i don't want that and i remember very quickly, and then i'll take the question, okay? the last one, with mrs. reagan, we are some day noon at the white house, we're going to have on tuesday the queen of the netherlands, and you know the netherlands is known for its tulip, the beautiful tulip over there. anyway, i had already shown nancy reagan two desserts which she said, roland, no. you know, nancy reagan, i studied her very early on. she's an interesting character. when she was going to give you the zinger, her head also booped to the right. and she even did that to the reporter on television. when the reporter would ask a question and i would see nancy going, oh, i said, man, you don't know what's coming. i am having a chill in my spine for you,

anyway, i already had told nancy reagan -- nancy reagan, i studied her very early on. she is very interesting. she was going to give you -- she even did that to the reporter on television. when the reporter would ask a question and i would see nancy going and i was thinking oh you don't know what is coming. i feel for you man. >> [ laughter ]. >> sure enough, she was good. i loved her. you know i say that i became the pastry chef that i am be -- because of nancy reagan and i mean it every time. she was so sure on what she wanted. that time, send a -- sunday noon, again, the dinner was going to be tuesday night. too many things were going on in my head at the same time and she is having lunch in the solarium at the white house. there is a very long table there for some reason. the president was eating on one hand and nancy was eating on the other. when i came with the desert, nancy reagan looked at the dessert and i said man, brace yourself man. oh that is not going to do. she could never tell you why. president reagan came to my rescue. he said honey, leave the chef al

but you know what, when i hear about ronald and nancy reagan and you read about.these two had such great marriages. they really got their strength from each other. i think the women are so underappreciated. >> i guess that was my point, i think she went through a lot of strife.>> she had a heart attack. >> because of her situation i wanted to know if you had information about her and her life. >> couple of things, she didn't want to go to washington but went to pick a dress to for the inauguration and she had a heart attack right after so he answered going with his niece and nephew. they were his confidants. when he got to washington, no one wanted him there. they didn't like him there. they thought he wasn't worthy of the office. don quincy adams wasn't even there. he left early. when jackson got there, no security. they wrecked the place like a frat house so they had to protect jackson from his own so-called friends. everyday people. some of the similarities with trump and jackson were true and that he is despised by washington d.c.. he was despised by virginia

paperwork thing, they try to soldier who they became but when i see and hear about ronald and nancy reagan and read about those two, rachel and andrew jackson, it makes, they had such a great marriage. they had such great marriage is the really got their strength from each other at a think the women are so underappreciated. >> i guess that was my point, was a think she went to a lot of -- >> she had a heart attack. >> right, because of her situation i just want to know if you information about her and her life. >> a couple things. she did not want to go to washington but when out to pick address for the inauguration and basically had a heart attack but after so he ends up going to washington with his niece and nephew and they were his confidants. because we got to washington when one can do. they didn't like him there. they thought he wasn't worthy of the office. john quincy adams wasn't even there to transfer the power per kilo early when jackson got there, no security. direct the place like it was a frat house so they had to protect jackson from his own so-called friend can everyday peop

so we're waiting to see if china will just say, yes remember nancy reagan, jimmy >> just say no to drugsht about that how about china? once in awhile, just say yes to one of our asks so we can move the process forward. >> i love that. >> yeah. thank you, larry structure reforms tougher. back to europe on trade, larry these reports they were willing to get rid of all tariffs was that true? if it's true, why wouldn't we take that deal >> well, i mean, look president trump they talked about abolishing tariffs and nontariff barriers and so forth. we'll be continuing those negotiations ambassador lighthizer is going to brussels this coming week to meet with celia malgrom. i'll probably see them at the united nations meetings in a couple of weeks. we're optimistic there are a number of transaction actions on the board. things like soybeans and beef, perhaps things like military sales. there's a lot of things on the board and i'd say the relationship is growing between the u.s. and an the eu i look the good will i really like the good will. i talked to my counter part bob lighthizer talks to hi

but to have an encounter with ronald and nancy reagan. and again, you know, don't condescend to that. the wonderful thing is if you do it right, if you tell the story properly, if you pull people in both emotionally and intellectually which is what a good exhibit or any good story does, then the fact is the ultimate test, the question that i would ask of any museum, what is the measure of success and that is very simply when you walk out the door, you walk out wanting to know more. >> i hope we have done that today too. you're up next. >> hello. first of all, this session has been absolutely incredible. i could not be -- i just -- you mentioned earlier about your feelings when you were at hyde park. that's how i feel now. because i have always had such a love of history. like all of you. because of you, ann compton, nancy dickerson, barbara walters all through the '60s have helped me develop the interest that i have to this day in government, in the news, in journalism, getting stories right, attention to detail. so i thank you for that.

but, to have an encounter with ronald and nancy reagan.and, again, and do not, you know, understand that, the wonderful thing is, if you do it right, if you tell the story properly, if you pull people in, both emotionally, and then -- which is what any good exhibitor, and a good story does, and the fact is, the ultimate test, the question that i would ask, of any museum, i want to know what is the measure of success, and that is very simple, when you walk out the door, you walk out wanting to know more. >> i hope we have done that today as well. and your up next. >> hello. first of all, this session has been absolutely incredible. i could not be -- i just, you mentioned earlier, about your feelings, when you are at high park, that is how i feel now, because, i have always had such a love of history, -- like all of you. you, -- nancy's, barbara walters, -- in the 50s, you know, helped me develop the interests, that i have to this day, in government, in the news, in journalism, getting stories right, attention to detail. so, i think of that.

a column by patty davis, the daughter of ronald and nancy reagan has gotten a lot of attention.hile i don't recall the details of my sexual assault, she said it doesn't surprise me one bit that for more than 30 years christine blasey ford didn't talk about the assault and what she remembers and the one she ofuses brett kavanaugh committing. it's important to understand how memory works in dramatic events. your memory blacks out other parts of the story that don't matter much. that story is in the washington post in the sunday edition. in maryland, good morning. caller: good morning. i want to talk about my experience and i am now 72 years old. i have never forgotten it. it happened to me when i was seven years old and i told my grandparents -- my grandmother, who was raising me. -- i should have stopped the guy. it was a grown man in his 50's or 60's. i don't how old at that time. i felt nothing when he was touching me in a private area. me grandmother really spanked about it. i told her i would tell my grandfather and she said no because he will go and hurt the man and they wil

right here is today the daughter of a president, patty davis, who is the daughter of ronald reagan and his wife nancysaid that she held to herself a rape that occurred 40 years ago. these republicans do not understand this at all. they don't get it. they're unfair. and they don't deserve to govern. >> well, you've just unpacked several important things. i believe you used the term hide behind the skirt, quote/unquote, of a potential female litigator. you mentioned what we know in the public record about how these alleged crimes are reported and when. which goes to a lot of the investigative work megan twohey has done. can you speak to that piece, megan, and how misplaced it is for the president to claim -- not just the president. other people are falsely claiming this as well, that somehow a delay speaks to a lack of truth. >> yeah, i mean, today when -- i thought it was remarkable that trump for days was seemingly following the advice of his aides who said, listen, don't go on the attack against this woman, even though that's basically been his playbook. during the presidential race i was one of the

reagan did not have friends in that way. he had many close acquaintances. nobody besides nancy we could call a true friend. brian: what are the chances george herbert walker bush what has been elected president if he had not been selected by reagan as vice president? dr. engel: i have never considered that question. i think he would have entered -- and let's presume reagan wins -- he would have entered the 88 election as one of a pack of people who would be running for president. at that point as i think about it more, he would have been in good stead. one of the remarkable things about the republican primary is just how far most of the candidates on the field are trying to run away from the legacy of reagan. we think of reagan through the lens of history, someone who was mark avoid popular at the end. he was personally popular, that his policies were not. he still had the taint of iran-contra. most of the candidates were trying to criticize reagan's legacy. in 1980,is experience had bush not been a member of the administration, he would have been first in line to criticize reagan in 1988. brian: you start

nancy pelosi is terrible, they will be talking about impeaching him and all of those things and he could stand to benefit from that in the same way bill clinton did, barack obama, ronald reagan harris: both sides have to get focused on their messaging. our republicans talking about the economy enough? do they need phase two on the hill which some republicans are against? >> the deficit is about to crest a trillion dollars and it's a way out of hand and this is probably not a great time for republicans to talk about doing that again. what they really need is an answer on health insurance because that's where democrats are starting to pick up speed. >> harris: you see that down in arizona where it looks like mick they will pull it out but it will be close. as we delve into this great book, one thing i can tell you that i adore about the man sitting next to me is his love of history. you say that history shows us how to deal with upheaval and to the broken politics, split politics we've seen in recent years. >> i would just say this, be glad, america. have a cheerful heart. if you think this is the worst moment -- we are told constantly by both sides, everything is a disaster,
