up -- and there is some evidence -- there is a big piece coming in the "washington post" about nancy reagan's influence -- but he decided he wanted to stop the cold war, and he met with gorbachev in 1985 at the summit in geneva, and they developed a relationship. what they ended up ending the first cold war, and they released a statement which, to this day, should be quoted every morning. nuclear war cannot be waged and it cannot be won. the two men found a partnership. i think that is important. because reagan was the schoolyard bully for many years. through peace and strength, and people still believe it was reagan's increase of the defense budget, the military budget that led to the soviet union's abolition. no. it wasn't. that is a longer story. but reagan understood the limits of being a schoolyard bully. that is a lesson to take for republicans, independents, democrats, all. host: robert in kansas, democratic caller. caller: good morning. hello, everybody. i have a few comments. first thing, this immigration deal is insane. we have been dealing with this for 40 years, 50 years. and the

i have been struck by the books i have been talking about on the show with nancy reagan and rady birderiously in their own time. they do play an extraordinary role, not just as the closest and arguably most important adviser to their spouse, the president, but they also in their own right wield extraordinary soft power if they choose to do it. i think we've seen now obviously throughout the history of the united states that we delay our attention and delay history's place that these women deserve. and when we talk about the legacy of joe biden in the first 100 days, we can't leave her out. >> it's interesting because if you look at past first ladies, many of them have played pivotal roles, some say too much 6 a role, in helping their husbands. but they've also taken on issues, and really tried to help society better itself in one way or another. joe biden is somewhat transformational. she's coming to the white house as a first lady who's going to have her own job and her own identity, who is holding on to her career and bringing it forward into the white house. she's had a bit of prac

up -- and there is some evidence -- there is a big piece coming in the "washington post" about nancy reagan'sluence -- but he decided he wanted to stop the cold war, and he met with gorbachev in 1985 at the summit in geneva, and they developed a relationship. what they ended up ending the first cold war, and they released a statement which, to this day, should be quoted every morning. nuclear war cannot be waged and it cannot be won. the two men found a partnership. i think that is important. because reagan was the schoolyard bully for many years. through peace and strength, and people still believe it was reagan's increase of the defense budget, the military budget that led to the soviet union's abolition. no. it wasn't. that is a longer story. but reagan understood the limits of being a schoolyard bully. that is a lesson to take for republicans, independents, democrats, all. host: robert in kansas, democratic caller. caller: good morning. hello, everybody. i have a few comments. first thing, this immigration deal is insane. we have been dealing with this for 40 years, 50 years. and the prob

we have seen pictures of him standing next to jackie kennedy and jfk and alongside ronald reagan and nancyme problem that philip faced in his early years as consort to the queen which was finding the appropriate role of things to do. jackie kennedy restored much of the white house, beautifying washington, in that sense, i suspect he found the succession of first ladies who he met in some ways, kindred spirits with kindred challenges.- spirits with kindred challenges. spirits with kindred challenues. �* , ., challenges. i've been reading the lovely — challenges. i've been reading the lovely tribute _ challenges. i've been reading the lovely tribute that - challenges. i've been reading the lovely tribute that barackj the lovely tribute that barack obama paid today on facebook and if people have not read it, they should have the full statement because it is very warm and very kind in many ways. but i want to say that the united states and great britain have a special relationship. one that has been maintained and strengthened not just by presidents and prime ministers, but by the royal family

reagan or john mccain. this is a big difference between what the republicans are in washington, d.c., and the democrats led by joe biden, nancy pelosi, chuck schumer, where we are trying to solve problems on behalf of the american people such as the rescue plan, and we're working on the american jobs plan, where we will create i believe at least 15 million good pays jobs. hopefully these plans to create the jim crow caucus are really going to be abandoned, but this is a persistent challenge until republicans of goodwill thank day, jim. >> thank you, congressman. appreciate it. >>> stay with us. ♪ no matter if you're young or old, tall or small, there's nothing more important than your health. that's why we redesigned the doctor's office for real life. you can book a same or next-day appointment, in-person or remote. get 24/7 care over video chat at no extra cost with our app. and request prescriptions in just a few taps. and with all that, you can spend more time enjoying life. that's care for who you want to be. there are many reasons for waiting to visit your doctor right now. but if you're experiencing irregular heartbeat,

reagan is to say a choice, not an echo. a positive agenda built upon our principles, and in 2010 we won 63 seats in the house of representatives at a retired nancy speaker of the house. [applause] a couple of years later we won the senate in 2016, we won the white house, and we will do it all again in the next four years. [applause] so i want to encourage you, ecclesiastes says there is nothing new under the sun. what is now is been before. you look back at 2010, 1994. it will look familiar. when you are talking to neighbors and friends and coworkers, people who worship and network work today i ran into mike and he was really optimistic. men and women, we have the winning agenda, and out it is incumbent upon us to take that winning agenda to the american people. [applause] in fact, i think we would do well to heed the words of the 40th president. it was 1976, some of us are old enough to remember. he had fallen short in the republican nomination. president ford invited him to bring some brief remarks, and he spoke off-the-cuff, but at the very end of his remarks, governor reagan said these words. he said this is our challenge, better than ever b
