if you recall from the chapter, peggy noonan says the speech is a -- [inaudible] which is a figure ofech that -- would probably approve of. yeah, everybody wanted to have a say in the speech and even though it's annoying for the speech writer, sometimes the approval room can save you. in this case there was a factual error in the original version of the speech. let me enlarge this a little. elliott was the guy this charge of speech writing. see page 2, suggest double check facts. as i recall, the big guns were not in place at the top of these cliffs. they had been moved. which is true. so they checked the facts, jim was right, and they changed the text of the speech to remove the factual error. that didn't work with the fake tocqueville comment. but nobody's perfect. if so the speech goes through the approval room, in this case it had the intended effect. see the circled ideas, the enemy guns were quieted, etc. and so reagan gave the famous speech. and, again, it's worth seeing some of the video. >> [inaudible] with brian lamb every tuesday. may he rest this peace. ronald reagan passe

white house bureau chief ashley parker, peggy noonan, yamiche alcindor and nbc news pentagon courtney kube. on sunday, this is "meet the press." >>> good sunday morning. it certainly looks as if the chances of avoiding war in ukraine are pretty remote. after the russians claimed they were pulling troops back from ukraine's border, it turned out that wasn't true, they were actually adding them. the u.s. says there are some 190,000 forces and militias that are in and around ukraine. separatists urged mass evacuations and issued its own arms claiming ukraine was about to attack. russia carried out its own military exercises on all sides of ukraine yesterday in a show of force, and president biden said he believes russia will invade in the coming days and believes kyiv is in president putin's sights. the disclosures about what russia is planning have largely been borne out, the idea of attacks like the shelling of a kindergartner, which appeared to be the work of just that, attacks of russian forces. a video aired on russian tv thursday night. still, it seems possible that putin has paint
