neocons have tried to claim reagan as their own despite the fact that neocons trashed reagan from the first days in 1981 until the time he left office in 1989. they said he loved trade more than he liked it human-rights and he dealt with the soviets too much and they were enraged he sat down with gorbachev tried to strike arms-control deals but reagan's rhetoric was the opposite of obama's. he knew what we needed after jimmy carter showed weakness across the globe. reagan knew we needed to talk tough but he was a realist. he only send our troops into battle to times. >> host: talk about the evil empire. the evolution of candor he spoke truth as the american president for the first time in one generation but we need to remember he did not save eastern europe. he did diplomacy, honestly when fourth explaining was the way to go. >> guest: he was a realist with his foreign policy despite the fact that his rhetoric was pretty heated. the foreign policy establishment was shocked. if you look at reagan over eight years, he was not a neocon he was not a radical, he was down the middle. >> hos

and, of course, we have that as well and that as ronald reagan. during this time we heard are dealing with, ron reagan will start to take the lead in the republican party primary, he will start to pull ahead of a number of contenders. most famously essentially chasing to his side john connally and philip crane. it's also during this time he starts to cry to his own kind of right-wing populism as we've come to know today, he gives a famous speech and one in which he says it isn't the republican party of the country clubs but of main street, the small guy, kind of almost fdr forgotten man. and he also pioneers his attack by government are doing if we simply deregulates we open -- and there will be an abundance of oil in the united states an abundance of cheap oil. there's a lot of different issues going on for ronald reagan to define himself, their strategic arms limits talks, there's questions of the the panama canal treaty, but is very clear one of the things ronald reagan does is he decides to define his candidacy with the term malaise. it's very

take ronald reagan and john paul ii. they both helped knock down the berlin wall. fast forward to today, president obama and pope benedict xvi meeting yesterday at the vatican. both men pushing for "greater social responsibility" and "working for the common good." rich says this duo could do to american capitalism what reagan and john paul ii did to soviet communism. really, rich? >> well, look, ronald reagan and john paul ii were the two most important figures in the second half of the 20th century. they had a deep, abiding belief in individual freedom and the morality that ensues from individual freedom. pope benedict and president obama are going the other way. i'm not accusing them of trying to wreck capitalism, but clearly they're going the other way. they're making all the mistakes that we were warned about. david: but jack jack, this is a pope who worked hard with the last pope who kicked off popular theology, or the marxist movement within the catholic church. >> absolutely the church has a long history of respecting market economies and respecting the abil

reagan returned. nixon returned. clinton returned. it's possible, but she has to make herself serious. if she imagined she is going to be a reagan in the wilderness in the '70's and lead a movement, she has to be like reagan, who was a serious man with serious ideas who studied, who wrote, who thought, and made himself a major figure. if she doesn't do that, she's toast. bret: one-word answer -- does she unin 2012? >> no. >> no. >> absolutely not! bret: that's it for the panel. stay tuned for some analysis of a cosmopolitan president. . @@-÷rp0wk]o:ypyjw00 . grab the wheel of a ford, lincoln or mercury and you'll drive the ford difference. the difference is ford quality. quality that can't be beat by honda or toyota. and that difference is in every vehicle in our lineup... which includes the most fuel-efficient mid-size sedans in america. now, drive the ford difference home and we'll cover the first three payments. hey...different is good. test drive it for yourself. get to your ford or lincoln mercury dealer or visit ford.com and

i went back and i was reading a biography of ronald reagan and he was talking about reagan in 1983, 1984, he had 82% approval rating among the young. 82%. this reminded me, last fall, i was talking about how i became a conservative when i was a teenager, and i said there was this discredited incumbent who was an office at the time of economic turmoil and crisis who seemed to be out of -- events abroad seem to be out of control and is amazingly particulate and culpable figure promising change. somehow through this litany i thought, damn, we have the exact opposite happening now. how you crack the nut of appealing to the youth again, i am not sure i have an answer, but a lot of it just comes about by having answers to the key questions of the day. it is not as though reagan went out of his way to appeal to youth. is just that he seemed to have a better way and a forward-looking attitude. >> the younger, experimental naturally gravitate toward people giving a that has grown up with a lot of choices, a lot of control over their own life, the internet generation of itunes and ebay and faceboo

. >> of course reagan and gorbachev went on to meet four more times during reagan's presidency.ll of them were as nice as that first time with the fire blazing behind them. >> there were actually some fairly pleasant meeting that all started with that one. it started with a letter. reagan reached out to gorbachev's predecessor, didn't work. then he tried with gorbachev and sure enough it worked. vinita, you're not going to believe this. beyonce, a fan of "world news now." could it be? we have some clues coming up in the "skinny" next. >> now i have to stay tuned. >> yeah, do you. stay right there. ♪ skinny, so skinny >> all right. so it's skinny time. you left me with such a god tease. i'm die to know in beyonce has even heard of the show. >> we think so. a serious day in entertainment news. we do want to lighten things up with this story about beyonce. it started with a tip of a friend of abc news. she had gone to see beyonce at madison square garden in new york city and lo and behold you and i pop up on the jumbotron right there in the beyonce concert. she thought it was a lar

that she can learn from ronald reagan. when he challenged jal -- gerald ford in the 1970's, but he galvanized support later. is this more of a 2012 or 2016 event forç her? >> i do not know if she is more like barry goldwater, frankly, or if she is more like reagan in putting forward ideas, but you are right. ronald reagan galvanized people before -- behind him, and i think we will have to wait and see. neil: 60 very, veryç much. by the way, the white house is saying joe biden is not a distraction -- thank you very, very much. . . shipping's complicated. not really. with priority mail flat rate boxes from the postal service shipping is easy. if it fits, it ships anywhere in the country for a low flat rate. that's not complicated. come on. how about...a handshake. alright. priority mail flat rate boxes only from the postal service. a simpler way to ship. . . medicare. it doesn't cover everything. and what it doesn't cover can cost you some money. that's why you should consider... an aarp medicare supplement insurance plan.

reagan and family came to pladelphia. i witness the crowds. i was checked by the c.i.a. th secret service. so i was a paramedic, e.m.t. at th time, serving as safet and emergency coordinator of the county. i remember the owds. i rember the atmosphe. and then -- d he -- that partular move paid off for him. again, the message was sent that woo -- we have a sympathize in the southe theaics of things and politics and evolving from that to whe we are day as again, anher testament of change that philadelphia a mississippi is elving into. tavis: tell me abo that change and what you will do as mayor and wt the challenges are in philadehia these days. >> the cllenges in philadelphia, ju like many other cities,conomic development is a part that we'retriving to accomplish. one of my campaign promises was to step outside the box and look to the solar, the energy coervation manufacturing areas. andlso that arena is what the president and the congress are funding n, fundinghese projects. weant to be in the forefront of tha even in smallown philadelphia, our mindset is to th future. al

i'm in california right now where ronald reagan was once governor. he chose to leave california and go all the way to mississippi, to philadelphia, mississippi, where goodman, swarnar and cheney were murdered, to run for the white house, upset a lot of people. we knew what it was then and a tip of the hat to the notion of states' rights. some believe ronald reagan was all kind of wrong to have gone to philadelphia to make that announcement. again, tipping his hat to those southerners on this issue of states' rights. he went on to win. he won two terms and in the minds of many he's an iconic president. but when reagan came to announce he was running and whether or not you were involved in politics at that time. >> i was working as a paramedic. i was there on the fair grounds when mr. reagan and family came to philadelphia. i witnessed the crowds. i was checked by the c.i.a. and the secret service. so i was a paramedic, e.m.t. at that time, serving as safety and emergency coordinator of the county. i remember the crowds. i remember the atmosphere. and

[applause] >> i can't, as someone who covered ronald reagan reagan for his presidency i must remind you the soviet union collapsed surprised almost everyone in this room. it could have happened in a different way with many casualties and much destruction. so, while ronald reagan wanted the soviet union to disappear and he also recognized it had to be done in such a way there could be the least possible casualties. >> quite right -- >> and i think it's incumbent upon you not just to say the market will provide but to provide us with a road map, gps system by which you will trace how we can get to hear from their with least possible damage you have not done so. you have not carried the burden of proof and therefore your position fails. is it enough to say abolish the fed. you have to say how and with such ability that you will not increase market in security and economic conditions in the short term that will make it harder to return to economic growth. >> tom? >> is this working? >> all right, gene. some kind of racket with the microphones. i sure there's an explanation. >> it's the fed'

about the allusions that russia can help stop iranian military nuclear programs, i recall ronald reagan speaking about the role of the government. he said the government is not the solution, it is a part of the problem. russia is not the solution to iran. russia is a part of the problem. in fact, there are many influential people in russia who are in favor of the iranian nuclear program. because it seems a good factor in containing american and israeli influence in the middle east, and increasing russian club in central asia. i believe it's a myopic view. in the long term russia will suffer from iranian threats, because iranian nuclear program will encourage moscow's fundamentalism and extremism in central asia. but many people, including many decision makers, ignore these objective realities. the second thing to why russia is not an ally in stopping iranian nuclear programs is because russian nuclear industrial complex is very interested in maintaining and developing nuclear cooperation with iran because it is lucrative and beneficial, which brings enormous profits, provides employment

it is very important for us to remember two things about reagan. one, despite all his incredible political skills, he would not have one the election if it were not for inflation, if it were not for gas lines, if it were not for the iranian hostage crisis, if it were not for afghanistan, if it were not for the entire linney of carter's administration failures -- entire litany of carter administration failures. when you are as far down as republicans were in the 1970's and as far down as they are today, you need the other side to fumble, and for its vision to be discredited. at the moment, barack obama has the ball, and he will have the ball until he commits some sort of turnover. there will have to be some patients here, as governor daniels' pointed out. although reagan was an ideologue in the best sense of the word, he had a few key ideas that undergird it his view of the world. we should not forget he was an intensely practical man as well. he was concerned with practical successes in the political arena and was willing to compromise to get those

many talking shops were that approach was sometimes to my surprise by former senior officials of the reagan administration. of give you the names later. but the gentleman blamed the u.s. for all of our troubles in relationships with russia. i will take a question from washington. introduce yourself, please. >> dmitry is my name. the first question is related to iran. as far as i've understand, president obama will have a concession on iran with the discretion of a colleague. based on my information, some people within this administration think that russia has influence in the world and may convince iran to increase its nuclear progress or maybe allow inspectors in their. what do you think about that? the second question is about human rights. it was announced that obama will meet with the leaders of the human rights organization in moscow. how serious do you think will be his attempt to raise the question about lebanon? and what kind of response do you think will come from the russians on that? >> did moscow hear the questions? the first question was -- >> [speaking in russian] >> does obam

now, ronald reagan who was a follower of the austrian school of economics had some interesting debateshen he was in the white house with his private advisors about the fed and he always would end these discussions with, well, show me how to get from here to there and we can talk about it. until then, i think we should recognize that while the fed creates uncertainty, having a debate about abolishing the fed without having a clear idea of what's going to replace it creates further uncertainty and i would submit to you at least from the point of view of the business community and from entrepreneurs, during that period of time of turbulence in which we debate the role of the fed without a clear idea of where we're going, we're not going to have economic growth. we're going to have perhaps more instability. so i submit to my worthy opponents, i share some of your critique, i share perhaps some of your values, but i also understand we live in a practical world. i always loved the unicorn when i was growing up. it's a wonderful creature to behold. i'm prounicorn but i've yet to find one and

i worked in the reagan administration as well. the tv came on, and said the soviets had shot down k.a.l. 007, this airliner with hundreds of people on it. president reagan was in santa barbara. it was a weekend. we got on the phone with ed meece and said look, you have to do something. the pentagon is handling it or whatever. i can't remember exactly what reagan did, but we got something done. atwater wasn't the only one doing it, but he was on on watch at that point. compared that to 1985. it was a public relations fiasco. when president visited this german s.s. cemetery. it is inconceivable that that would have happened if they had had a re-election campaign happening. >> the reason that i to some extent pushed back against the steff-centric formulation of the initial question is that i deeply believe that in the end, every president gets the white house he deserves. that is to say that it is not the case that presidents are betrayed by their staffs, because the staff that a president has around him and the way that staff is org

had before and which ultimately -- ronald reagan had before and which ultimately led to the fall ofnism in the rest of the world. >> jamie: you mentioned in the intro the protection of catholic medical and health care workers who have certain beliefs, but may be in a position where they have to perform procedures. the bush administration was very clear in its clause -- in its position on what should happen in terms of protection of those workers, and do you think president obama has been consistent in hess position in -- in his position? >> well, on independence day, this foundation of our nation is based on freedom, and liberties. and, at the same time we are threatening catholic doctors under conscience -- who refuse to perform a procedure that is abhorrent to their way of thinking and the president definitely has to back down on this one. and he has to make it very clear, he should make his statement, to the vatican this week, that he respects the catholic faith, respects catholics in their opinions, and, yet, there may be differences of opinion, but there is no difference of opi

still, we did not do anything until reagan. reagan is running and we needed to get going.that president ford [uninteligible] the worst thing you could do with ford was to tell him that sunday would help him politically because it would almost always do the other thing. -- was to tell him that something would help him politically. president ford said kissinger to south africa, i believe, and everyone said it was a disaster. the president said it was the right thing to do. we have never really got started until it was too late. we virtually invited reagan into the campaign. it was touch and go all of the way and we barely made it. we would not have made it, in my opinion, except rockefeller took himself off the ticket. if we had been on the ticket, we could have not won some of the delegations, particularly mississippi. i think ford is an anomaly in the sense that he did whatever he wanted. he did not want to run for president. he was forced into it by reagan entering into the campaign. once he got into it, he was enough of a competitor to say he was going to win and he went

because i think he's a reverse ronald reagan because ronald reagan was loathe by the mainstream mediaand the american people once he was the president was no longer seen as the evil or stupid man, he was a reasonable man that had the country's best interest at heart. the media has pitched barack obama as the messiah. >> expectations are so high for obama, he's in a very difficult situation. he's trying to tackle many different subjects, and many other presidents have failed, bush couldn't get the privatization of social security, presidents do fail. they're not infallible. >> his disdainment for capitalism is showing. >> first of all for health care universal health care is the right thing to do, and there's a great proposal on the table -- sean: julie. >> for bulgaria. sean: that's funny. government care, taking over the car companies, taking over banks, insurance companies, financial institutions, dictating pay, that is the very heart of the definition of socialism. let's call it what it is. why are you running away from the left supports. >> i'm not running away from it. sean: you.

ronald reagan reined in government spevending, cut taxes and we had a great boom. 1920-1921 we had a depression nobody reads about. government spending cut in half and we made a rapid recovery. the less the government does, the better. david: so history is our guide, no? >> history is our guide and ronald reagan had the benefit of a decent infrastructure that create a basis on which you could grow the economy. george bush did nothing for the natural infrastructure. obama documents bring it back up to speed. that helps the economy. that is what biden is talking about. >> that infrastructure was 22% commercial paper, 15% long bond and 15% inflation, 70% top marginal federal tax rate and minus 1% growth when the gipper came in. that doesn't sound like a great basis to me. david: i'm old enough to remember when the gipper came in. the economy was miserable. it was terrible. we had 14% inflation, 20% interest rates. forget about it. he turned around a mess. >> and what they did, it wasn't identi ideology it was the fact they were willing to bite the bullet, we need to take a short-term pa

he is channeling ronald reagan to me. ronald reagan calls everybody and says, let it that top down. let simplify. barack obama cause everybody in and says, we care about covering everybody. he has a few things he cares about. they know what they are. the congress knows. >> has he gone too far? >> he insists on getting said the in october on health care, he is likely to end up with half a load. if he had his way about it, he would have a single payer system. the. option plan was already -- the public option plan was there and now he is talking about the co- op plan. interning so much over to congress -- in turning so much over to congress, i think he is going to end up with a lot of compromises and want to get something through and it will happen, because congress -- more than half of it was the insurance companies. this is the absolute worst you can have. >> we will come back to health care. you look at him and look at the way he is approaching this. is this characteristic of the way you see that he approaches the world? when harry reid says that he is never said i must have this, d
