look, reagan was intellectual, reagan was thoughtful, reagan was an american conservative, reagan was kind, gentle, thoughtful and even in his diaries he wouldn't swear. he wouldn't write he'd write d -- -- rather than writing them. that's how he was. there was a story that when he was president that he had one of the first second female secret service agents and he kept standing aside as he's walking through a door to let the secret service agent go first because he said my mother told me ladies always go first.agent, the head of the treasury department sat him down and said mr. president, she is not a woman, she is an agent, she is a professional and you have to allow her to do her job. reagan was very reluctant and i can't imagine anyone ever saying anything like that about donald trump. [laughter] reagan was a populace. he was an american conservative. he was committed to his principles but it is also possible. he was kind and thoughtful. not always completely thoughtful but more so than most men and, look, don't turn to me for evidence of reagan's importance in american history.

it was authentic reagan. comeouldn't ask reagan to to berlin and stand for the berlin wall and not say that. courtesy, we finally got the final draft, i think 24 hours in advance. i gave it to the governing mayor of berlin. i have mentioned him already, edward r deacon. camead it and immediately back to me and said, you have got to take this passage out. you have got to take this passage out! we can't do that, this is ronald reagan. i said, what's wrong with the said, there, -- he will be protests on the other side of the wall. there were. nothing very large though. but, we were afraid that if they create -- this will potentially create a riot, unrest. we could have a real scene on our hands. i just said, look. wasdo not know how hard it to get ronald reagan here this year. difficult to get that organized the way we did. you've got to allow him to make these. he relented. -- i'm sorry. >> no no. >> we will bring you back in. >> you are making my job easier. >> i was not part of the traveling party, so this is

>> ford and reagan don't like each other. mrs. reagan and mrs. ford can't even be in the same state with each other. that is how little they liked each other. gerald ford ascends to the presidency by way of the 22nd amendment when nixon pick some after spear o agnew re-signed, taking kickbacks in maryland while the owner is maryland and still taking kickbacks as vice president of the united states. nixon needs somebody who will placate, but not threaten him, not going to cause him to look over his shoulders. gerald ford fills the bill, gerald ford's lifelong dream was to be speaker of the house and that is never going to happen. becoming vice president with a nice capstone to his career but then the smoking gun tape is revealed in july of 1974. it is in the news now. everybody -- >> elephant in the tens. >> i say smoking gun, what are you talking about? anyway, nixon is revealed ordering the cia to halt the fbi investigation into watergate and that is the end of richard nixon. gerald ford ascends to the presidency but gerald ford has no republica

reagan, what was the opinion of reagan among the germans at that time? if i'm not mistaken, there were a lot of fears and there were some protests by leftist groups, anarchists and the like in the days leading up to his visit. >> reagan's image in germany went through almost 180 degree change over the years. the first time i was with ronald reagan in germany was probably he was visiting bond, germany and -- bahn and there 2-3,000 protesters protesting the nuclear arms that has theermany ability to strike the soviet homeland. this was a controversial, difficult decision and chancellor kohl was holding firm along with the foreign minister. holding firm to that alliance decision in the face of a very ferocious russian propaganda, fake news campaign to stop this deployment. threatening what they call a new ice age. a lot of the left blames reagan for this. he was a war monger. he was going to get into a nuclear war. as time went on, things began to gradually shift, very , reagan hadin 1986 his first summit meeting with gorbachev. productive,y optimistic meet

reagan.ecca: the president and his wife. ♪ rebecca: the president -- [indiscernible] [applause] [cheers] mr. president, mrs. reagan, chancellor kohl, it is a special honor for me to welcome you to this american birthday party for berlin. as you can see mr. president, from the enthusiastic reaction of the berliners and americans here, our guests share my feeling that it is good to have you and mrs. reagan back in berlin. [applause] >> mr. president, the guests here have followed your visit throughout the day on a large tv screen in this hall. like those of us president and the brandenburg gate -- present at the been a brigade, we've been stirred by your message of freedom and hope. our celebration of the 750th birthday today bears witness to the high hopes we all hold for the future of this great city. the distinguished berliners on this stage with us are why we can believe in berlin, for they represent the heroic deeds of the past, the remarkable achievements of the presence, and the bright p

the reagan ranch. like i said, the bar. people really connect with the physicality of seeing things that he owned and touched and were part of him. the clinton library can't be different, more different, i mean. it is all about the facts of the administration, not about his life. you don't have exhibit about hope, arkansas, and i think it was because it was created in the wake of impeachment when character was an issue. rather than focus on the man, they focused on bill clinton, the president. host: do you think that will change in years to come? guest: i think so. the national archive said they help amealiorate the extreme parts of the exhibit over time. the problem is -- like for example, the nixon library, the original watergate exhibit written by nixon said watergate was plot to make carl albert president of the united states, the speaker of the house. that existed for 17 years. when national archives took over in 2007, first order of business for new federal director was to dismantle the watergate

had a chance to tour the reagan reagan, here ancy is a bit from the store. >> people come to the library, things they or two find to be their favorite? you would really have to ask them. i think there are always curious about the berlin wall. and they're -- the whole thing so -- i mean, it's all here. is here.g in his life to say be hard for me which one they would choose. over here is march 30, 1981. >> yeah. where were you when you heard the president had been shot? was at a luncheon, an art for some ncheon, and reason, this never happened to willing, won'tgod i pen to me again, but uddenly had the feeling i had to go. and -- >> you mean just -- know what it was, i just had the feeling i had to house.ck to the white host: if you want to watch that entire tour, you can see it all available at ming c-span.org. anthony clark, i know you want that.k a little about guest: there have been several times about the exhibit about over time.nation it is incredibly moving to be there and see the x-ray, see how president came to dying. and i just want to say the eagan library, contrast with the cli

force one that ronald reagan used and seven presidents. it is on long-term lease from the patterson air force base all the other aircraft, except that one. hat room also has marine one helicopter and also has what i consider to be the most odd artifact in a presidential library n. 1984, reagan's stopped by valley, ireland for a goodwill visit and o'farrell's at the pub. bought thefoundation pub after it went under and they ebuilt it inside the air force

with a sad story and reagan said we're not going to do it. >> that was part of reagan's philosophy froming, stockman said he's a conservative, he hates government and he always changes his mind. from the time reagan got involved in politics, he was a compassionate conservative. he said in 1961 no one should go without health care because of lack of funds. can you believe -- >> whoa, whoa, but he was against medicare. he thought it was socialized medicine. >> the reason is he said it went too far. he said there's what legitimate humanitarian need, 10% to 20% of soon why are citizens need help with health insurance, let's give it to them and he supported an alternative that did that. he opposed medicare because it gave the same benefits to the rich and poor alike. he supported federal aid and told afront friend he thought people should be put up if needed. >> in part you write "throughout his life reagan always cared more about saving lives than saving money. if he were convinced as senate bi bill critics argue that it would keep people from getting the care that they need, reagan would s

william sessions served as fbi director through the very end of reagan's term. he served through the whole term of george h.w. bush's time in office. by the time the 1992 election came around and george h.w. bush lost to bill clinton in that election, the justice department had started, by then, a big and ultimately sort of embarrassing ethics investigation into william sessions as fbi director. and you know, i think it is fair to say that what ultimately brought him down, this report that the justice department did into him, it was not the world's biggest scandal. it was not a hugely scandalous corruption probe or something. it wasn't like an espionage probe or something dramatic like that. it wasn't even a particularly big political fight over him. what brought him down was a parade of little embarrassing stuff. they accused him of using taxpayer funds to build a $10,000 fence at his home in washington, d.c. they accused him and his wife of manipulating taxpayer funded travel arrangements to go visit their friends and family. they accused him of using a taxpay

>>elizabeth: reagan knew how to deal with the student unrest. uh, reagan cracked down hard.in california. so nixon had this kind of envy, worry about ronald reagan. >>i nominate for the high office of president of the united states his excellency, the governor of california, the honorable ronald reagan. >>male #8: i place in nomination the man for our time, nelson rockefeller. >>dick: nixon suspected rockefeller was in league with reagan to shut him out. another dump nixon movement seemed to be afoot. nixon's back was suddenly to the wall. he needed to stop delegates from switching sides. he struck a deal that would change american politics for decades. senator strom thrumond of south carolina was a former democrat who'd split with the party over integration. now, he was a king-maker at the republican convention. nixon had won points with thrumond on one of his trips through dixie. he'd done it in typical nixon fashion. >>rick: it was an amazing story about how he won strom thrumond's loyalty. it was the second time in his political career that he was saved by a puppy. strom

well, ronald reagan was elected and dramatically changed policy. and what happened?the performance of the american economy changed dramatically. reagan cut marginal tax rates dramatically. i'm being dramatic but these were dramatic times. he cut nondefense spending and entitlement spending, and he lifted regulatory burden. when that program was in effect, the economy in the last six years that reagan administration grew by 4.6%. and in four of those six years, federal revenues grew by over 10% per year. now, this comparison is important because the question we're faced with now is are we in a secular stagnation or is this a policy-induced stagnation? my believe is, and i think an objective reading of the policies of the postwar period and the performance of the economy in the postwar period is that policy makes a difference. american exceptionalism is based on freedom and market efficiency. and when government policy reinforces those things, the economy grows and has no equal on earth. when government policy stifles those things, the growth of the economy is stunted.

reagan raised taxes, more than any president in office. after he dropped the tax bill about the deficit? we cannot afford tax cuts. the reason why companies have the money off the shores is because of nafta. the --ws them to takes take the business and give them a tax break. all this money, and now they don't want to pay taxes bringing it back. that is all i have to say. i agree with the first two colors. thanks for c-span. thank you for that. i just talk a little bit about the premise of the deficit. you are spot on in terms of we really are at risk of bankrupting our country. the trouble is we spend more than we bring in and not the other way around. the trouble is we cannot turn off spending on anything. a lack of will to do that. there is a recognition of the problem if you put it bipartisan like simpson bowles, they agree on the math, that we will run out of money. we are effectively going to borrow more than we spend on defense this year which should send off a lot of alarm bells. and we are way behind having, we agreed-uponrt, in nu

when ronald reagan said mr. gorbachev, tear down that wall i don't know if he really thought it was going to happen. authoritarian regimes are brittle. and putin is, right now in a position to rule because there is no organized opposition to him and he is making sure that. but a few weeks ago people flooded into the streets of moscow to protest corruption. still online bloggers are still protesting government actions. so there is something slightly live underneath. another thing is the russian people are different than they were in the soviet union. the 25 years since the collapse doesn't matter. when i first went there and 79 russia has looked and now they travel, they send their kids to study abroad. they spoil their children at toys "r" us and buy the furniture at ikea and putin is not there guy. somewhere along here someone might emerge to be a focal point for that constituency. but before we get carried away with the new liberal russia the other potential opposition could come from the harder right. there i

, kohl insisted that reagan accompany him to a cemetery.n this cemetery there were many young german soldiers who had been buried and many were members of the nazi paramilitary group. reagan did not want to go. the american team-based kohl -- team begged kohl to cancel this plan. reagan roundup -- wound up going with him. he was a man who knew how to get his way. he was said to have gone out with members of his staff in the middle of the night to eat large italian meals and he clearly enjoyed watching them struggle to finish. he would go out for historic east --historic feasts. -- he would go out for historic feasts with bill clinton. he was known for eating specialties like sow's stomach. he was a man of great physicality, of enormous physical presence and i think what he was able to achieve and the way he kept his power network together around him was based on that. christopher: his sheer physical presence. despite that huge legacy, his political career did end in disgrace. the huge a that hit him and his party. how seriously did that tar

>> steve, in the '80s, reagan got together with tomorrow democrats for tax cuts, right? >> yes, but at the time the public opinion was in favor of it and a portion of the democratic party then wanted tax reform, getting rid of tax shelters and republicans wanted lower tax rates so they were able to come together. the key thing is, what do the blue dog democrats want? and the key thing would they be able to bring along eight democrats in the senate so you don't have to have the filibuster problem? >> the answer is no. it will be watered down, weak tea, not like the robust tax cut we got under ronald reagan. david: mark, one thing the democrats got this week was a wakeup call. the obstructionism just being against any kind of tax cuts is not helping them at the polls. >> the thing is, david, we don't need tax cuts. we need to raise revenue. we're going to lead to higher deficits and we have to make massive spending cuts. we're limited where to cut spending. our tax rates are low in this country globally so i don't know what the big press is to lower taxes other than the ri

reagan get it right?ald reagan understood is that every government program, basically, is taking people's money and trying to do things aha people themselves may not have wanted. 81% of the country had health insurance before we began obamacare paid by their businesses or employers or what have you. and the idea that you could come have a nationalized program today with a $20 trillion budget, you'd add another $4 or $5 trillion just at a minimum, and most people don't want that. most people want to have an access to health care. and the problem with the obamacare is it never basically reduced anybody's costs. you go to any doctor, any hospital today, and they still have all the severe cost adjustments, particularly in the rural areas. my sense is wherever we end up here, someone has to pay for it. either taxpayers pay for it, individuals pay for it. and the biggest problem with the health care bill before was you didn't allow a catastrophic insurance policy. a lot of these young people basically want some

. >> goldwater won the nomination and in 80 reagan won. those were the precursors to trump for growth so i feel a little bit fortunate so i do think they have a continuity that is a much better candidate and that is a unique phenomenon but i laughed at them is that i will not give you vice you have a unique style your said the effective and if you try to learn what i do you would screw that up suggests me you are into what you do but if you measure the audience rather than that debate system but then to spend $15 million in florida. in one day after south carolina the advisers said she would be the nominee i did not have the resources then but trump had enough resources at any time but he did something that i could not have done as one of the great backs of genius in american politics this is part what i know that nobody's understands donald j. trump had a prime-time television show for 13 years the top so at --- a talk show in the country over four years it was not on pbs nova is understood that run negative nobody understood that this ci

that is what happened under thatcher and thatcher is more like trump than reagan because reagan never threatened the left into the united states. he defeated communists but not at stanford. trump is a mortal threat to the left. the left under thatcher went crazy and by her third election in '87, the news media referred to them as the loosing left. do the democrats keep drifting into this insanity representing a world view that is 25% of the country? the second question is do the republicans get their act together and not just get things done but communicate them. we have done so much on veteran's reform and have such a weak communication system nobody realizes the house, senate and president are the best pro-veterans team we have had modern times doing real things that are working and they cannot communicate them. they have to learn to do things that matter and break through the media and make sure everybody hears them. if they saw that and if the left keeps going crazy we could have an election where they gain ground, not lose ground. >> somebody all the way in the back this time. >>

david: well, e-mack, ronald reagan didn't go small, he went hardball and got big tax cuts in and during the period after which those tax cuts kicked in, again, you had this dramatic 54% increase in revenue. you don't have to worry, fret about all of this pay for stuff. >> right, i think the economy can handle a tax cut. news flash. you know, and by the way, i'm so tired of comey-mra-- palooza: and you're right about the tax cuts, reagan say it, kennedy saw it happened. bill clinton saw it happen. more revenues poured in and when you have tax cuts like the eisenhower year, there were recessions every other year and watch the growth in real income, reagan era '83 to '89 and spiked for whom, the lower percent. david: if we don't get the tax cuts, we have the business round table saying if we don't get tax cuts, we'll lose investment and that means we'll lose job. >> the answer is for republicans to stop talking about revenues. since when is it the job of the american worker to make sure that congress has more money to waste? taxes should be cut and the revenues decline. the museum of the u

and reagan in the end made the decisions. the same thing is happening here. they brought in a lot of really smart people from many different directions. people talk about goldman sachs, they've had a lot of alumni there. on the other hand, stephen bannon, and here is bannon, the nationalist, it's hardly -- it's a tribute to how good they are. it's the harvard of financial investing. in the end, it comes down to one person. like franklin delano roosevelt or evan lincoln or ronald reagan, that one person has a pretty good sense of where he wants to go. and trump routinely runs over everybody, routinely opposes them, gets them back on track. this is a very bold, very dramatic and profoundly transformational direction. >> tucker: that's reassuring from a man who understands truck. thank you. journalists are saying tonight that trumps rhetoric is placing them in physical danger. time to give them special status? safe spaces? jeff mason writes for reuters, the current president of the correspondents association. i'm not making the case that journalists are like tru

president reagan. >> reagan had big buildup before that.won 49 states and he and everybody else around him said was the biggest mistake and most inconsistent thing he had ever done. but the premise there was he was trying to rescue hostages. so his motives were honorable motes. how it happened is not something that the media rehashed. but at the end of the day he came back because the country loved him and the country thought he had done good things and let him out of the game. but he suffered plenty. his integrity went down, people didn't believe him, and it hurt him badly. trish: you said the country loved him and the reason the country loved him is he was able to do great things. >> that's right. and that's a credible thing for president trump. >>hank you, edollins. we'll be right back trish: tomorrow, i'm going to be joining me friend sandra, harris, and megan. all tomorrow on outnumbered over on fox news, so i do hope you tune in to the fox news channel at 12:00 noon eastern. in the meantime, we still have lots of news to digest and a

we tied the record set in 2002 at reagan national.x at dulles and missed it by two at b.w.i. tomorrow's record high for washington is 96 set in 1954. well before my time. i don't think we will hit that. we could get close. temperatures will drop but they will hold in the 80's. with the muggy conditions it's tomorrow we wake up to the temperatures in the upper 60's to the middle 70's. we will be close to 96. see what happens. many areas didn't get in the mid-90's. whatever lines up, the last day of the high heat and the humidity. eventually we will get a cold front in. tomorrow random pop-up showers or thunderstorms could develop. but wednesday a cold front approaches. then after that we see temperatures go down and get back to the average temperatures for the middle of june. coming up at 6:00, more on the heat and a fresh outlook coming up then. alison: thank you. we know michael jordan's nike shoes sell at a high price but nothing compared to these. this is a pair of converse that sold for more than $190,000. these are the last pair

and ronald reagan found himself in the same position. they must realize that the media will not give the news to the people themselves. the president will have to go over their heads. he did that with the paris climate treatiy and he's done upon it in other treaties. his comments on that became the narrative. they had to covers in quotes and that's how he will have to do that from now on. >> leland: to your point the epa will come out. and glenn hall, the more on message they are, more surrogates they bring out. and now the coverage of the paris climate exchange. one of the headlines. trump to world, drop dead. here is how it was covered by television journalist. >> on a sunny day in the rose garden, what could be defined and construed as a dark speech. >> and if it proves to be what it is, it will be the day the united states resigned as leader of the free world. it is nothing short of that. >>y we haven't had a president this psycheicology troubled. i am trying to use my words. since at least richard nixon. >> and ellen, i know that yo
