as early as the sixties with emergence of, reagan or was it close to the time that you joined the reagan administration? >> my actual origins were not with reagan but with his vice president, george h. w. bush. i was always interested in politics going back to junior high school, but the opportunity to get involved required working in campaigns which in those days, the mid sixties in texas was a generally hopeless cause for republicans. therefore it was a delight defined this young wheel man named george bush running for congress on the west side of houston, which threw my time as a campaign volunteer. so i did a dressing envelope and it's a campaign research, and was a great thrill when he got elected to congress but he invited me to be intern on his staff. that began a relationship that 14 years leader led to going to washington with him. at the time, i was working at the head of the avenue here as a texas member of the house of representatives when the vice president elect asked me to join his stuff on the west wing of the white house, i realized that was the end of my active career i

that it was his thought and he said it to reagan when reagan was in the white house, he said if reagan had not challenged ford in 1976, then ford might well have won the 1976 election. if he had, than reagan never would have been president because if a republican had won in 1976, ford would not have been -- the incumbent would not have been challenged by another republican and reagan would have waited until 1984 by which time he would clearly have been too old to run for president. next question. my question is this. you have not addressed the media yet, changes in the media over the years. the other question is, you know the bushes. is jeb bush going to run? prof. brands: i'm going is put that into two parts. i will let jonathan deal with the media because he is media, and i will let chase weigh in on whether jeb bush is going to run. jonathan: we talk a lot about how the media is so much tougher on presidents today than the media was back in the day and it is often cited in terms of their private lives or sex scandals, and i think that is true. if you actually spend a lot of time loo

reagan's legacy. in the name of reagan, republicans dogmatically applied obsolete policies. without recognizing how the world has changed and without questioning old assumptions the way president reagan did. the g.o.p. used his successes as an excuse for on city nance. our party forgot reagan's call to, quote, begin the world over again. we let reaganism become the language of the country club. washington think tanks and the senate cloakroom. instead of spoking to the folk -middle america who powered the reagan revolution in the first place. our party does not need to return control to establishment insiders. but we cannot afford to continue to perpetuate toxic politics. america is at a critical crossroads. unless we begin to change the self-destructive course that both parties are on, this mess will just repeat itself all over again in 2024. ronald reagan said, freedom was never more than one generation from extinction. we must heed those words. we cannot take the blessings of liberty for granted. we

precisely the traits president reagan spoke of. the urgency of this matter is excepted across the political spectrum and shows the trump administration succeeded -- [indiscernible] national security and for the freedoms of all humanity. it is an accomplishment that will steer a generation of american foreign policy makers. we should approach this challenge and deed every challenge confident in our nation's purpose. sure of our values and determined to protect our way of life, because we believe so deeply in america's promise. just like president reagan, we have every reason to be optimistic. america itself is a continent-wide reminder that freedom is the superior alternative to tyranny. our policies are grounded in the love of america, that we are ind eed an exceptional nation of founding principles and our future promise is special. if we get it right, our friends and allies will see america leading. we will emerge stronger, more confident and face the china challenge. president reagan knew this. appeasement and blind engagement m

you referenced president reagan's speech in missouri. many people look at churchill's speech in fulton as the iron curtain speech of the beginning of the cold war. your administration, the president's administration and your time in this administration, have you witnessed a moment where you had that iron curtain moment, where you recognize this regime, the chinese communist party presented a challenge that the only frame of reference was going back to the cold war? sec. pompeo: if you look at the president's remarks from his campaign and before that, he had identified a number of the challenges connected to the chinese communist party and its behavior. as we developed our national security strategy, you see the theecome to be fleshed out, bones being put beneath it. i got to see firsthand every morning what these characters were up to. when i say that, you get a chance to have a glimpse inside of the apparatus and its intent, which is critical. we've lived with communist regimes in the world. they'll choose their own government's model,

reagan. he cut taxes and everything came back to life. that wasn't true at all. there was a giant tax cut in 1981, his first year in office. it's almost exactly what he asked for and it didn't work right away. the deficit exploded, republicans were like crazy nervous with what had happened. the recession continued, the economy was going down. this looked like it might be for a while the colossal failure and in fact so much so that 1982 republicans pushed through congress a tax bill that took back some of the tax cuts. then eventually the combination of the deficit spending frankly because the government and the tax cuts finally kicked in it had gone bust and it wasn't in its success by any stretch of the imagination. >> you write how there was an infrastructure being built so reaganism about last reagan so those who were traveling with him on this road and the establishment of the think tanks and outside organizations. >> guest: again as you know when you do a book you get the chance to look

and carrying my reagan sign. when my dad spotted me, let's just say he wasn't completely thrilled, but it was at that moment that i probably became a footsoldier in the reagan revolution. of course, jimmy carter defeated president ford and one the white the whitend won house. many wondered the gop could ever win national elections again. the new york times declared the republican party "close to extinction." bigthen reagan built a coalition of republicans, independents and reagan democrats who wanted america to be that shining city on the hill. he worked hard to heal the party divisions rather than exacerbate them, and to move us past the scandals and division. he focused on the everyday concerns of working folks and struggling families, not the obsessions of the chattering clouds in washington. in 1980, just for yourself to the predicted demise of the gop, reagan led our party to one of the largest landslides in american history, and then went on to truly make america great again. after this divisive election, w

classic ronald reagan. the next slide will show a close up of the resolute the resolute desk. after my presentation, there are two modifications that have happened. i will ask about the two modifications that have happened to this desk. throughout the museums, we have a number of interactions. this is one about dining in the white house. in the background is a mirror, but you can see the red cases. that is where we house many of the presidential gifts. they are quite spectacular and some of the presentation. if you go to the next slide. one of my personal favorite displays in the museum is the president's personal diary. what i find interesting about this, is that almost every day of his presidency, he actually wrote in this diary. there are five volumes. the reason they did that, is that when they left the mansion, they did not remember a lot of this stuff. they said, ok, we are going to write this down. it was never really meant to be published. it was just his thoughts and feelings. but there is one entr

loyalist, he loved ronald reagan whose e-mail address was a variation, he was the ultimate reagan soldier but by the early 1990s he decides that the conservative message has missed a beat, it's not looking out enough for working-class americans and those of the people that have begun moving into the republican party for cultural reasons, there against abortion rights, they don't like liberals, they are moving in to the republican party, we have a free-trade message that were closing down factories and you can move to mexico and immigrants are moving in and they're taking the jobs and their wages and we have to stop the two and pat is quite a bit about this, he says i begin to conservatism which would be and it was very much early donald trump, anti-free-trade, the north american anti-free trade, very much anti-trade, anti-import from abroad, pro-american, let's promote american industry, let's have an industrial policy, these are heresies to traditional conservatives, pat buchanan begins pushing them and he pushes him hard when he runs for president and 92 and a 96 in at that point he's l

reagan was alive. there was some event that she was at and we were strolling through the museum and merv was there and he was hanging back. come in the museum there is a portrait of the president at the rock river ridge he was a lifeguard and saved all these lives. so merv goes, did i ever tell you the story that i was talking to the president about his life? we were in the white house and the president started talking about all of his stories and merv was there and says, mr. president, of those 77 lives that you saved, how many were women? and the president has the struggle and says, well, merv, they were all women. and he goes, are you sure they were drowning? and that is a merv griffin story. speaking of which, you are very close to your geography relative to washington, d.c. do you have a lot of hollywood famous actors coming to visit? the titanic was an opportunity to engage the hollywood industry. but just on a year-to-year basis? >> on a regular basis, not so .uch years ago they were alive and a

president reagan quoted in westminster in 1982. an institution is lengthened by the shadow of one man, and there is no man who did more than reagan to restore america's confidence and human freedom in the post world war ii era. there is no better event than continuing that work by launching this new institution 40 years after america sent our 40th president to the white house. people watching online and those in this room are students of president reagan. as a kid growing up in california, i got to see him in action as the governor. it was a very different california then. [laughter] but it was ronald reagan as governor who believed in the promise of america and our people. he understood that no other nation under god was conceived in liberty quite the way that we are. his deep, innate understanding of america's exceptional place in the world gave him the strength to face down the soviet scourge. he was confident that every threat he faced -- we have many threats that remain, but i am equally confident america will overcome any cha

went to them and they came to ronald reagan and they linked arms and with the economic conservative and then he made common cause those hawkish democrats very anti- soviet and will use of bringing them into the coalition with the anti- communism that hold the group together for so many years provided the glue that kept it together and created a coalition now there is this conservative message that's fully formed and that's what reagan but to the table in the 1980s. >> all the was not entirely clear to get these massive tax cuts for the next thing that happens is they are hit by a recession going back on those economic policies implemented in his first year. >> that's a good point of the cut taxes and everything came back to life there is a giant tax cut his first year in office almost exactly what he asked what was considered dangerous revolutionary. the deficit exploded republicans were crazy nervous it continued the economy was going down at look like it could for a while be a colossal failure and so much so in 1982 republicans or conventional conservatives to push through congres

ronald reagan went to them and they came to ronald reagan and linked arms. their economic conservatives and social religious conservatives. and then he made common cause with the neoconservatives the hawkish democrats in foreign policy who are very anti-soviet, very much cold warriors. and he brought them into the coalition. and that is where the anti- communism that help this group together for so many years kind of provided the glue that kept it altogether. and what ronald reagan did in 1980 he put those three elements together and created a coalitio coalition. mr. not a conservative message is a wreck and brought to the table in 1980. >> also is not entirely clear at the beginning that is going to succeed. he gets through massive tax cut with his economic program. but the next thing that happens is he gets hit by big recession. and he pulls back some of this economic policies unit implemented. what did that due to the movement? >> that's a good point and often forgotten that we cut taxes and are thinking back to life. that was not true at all for there is

now, here's reagan. "back when calvin coolidge cut taxes across the board, the government's revenues increased. when jack kennedy did it, his economic advisers were all telling him the government would lose revenue, and the government gained revenue. it's the reality. so they made quite a sizable financial error. "risingnedy's line was tide lifts all boats." " and this is what we believe the tax proposals that we have made are aimed at. "can you cut taxes and fight inflation? by so doing this? i very much believe you can. let me just read you something. our true choice is not between tax reduction on the one hand and the avoidance of large budget deficits on the other. an economy stifled by restrictive tax rates will never produce enough revenue to balance the budget, just as it will never produce enough jobs or profits. ." john f. kennedy said that back in 1962 when he was asking for a tax decrease, a cut in tax rates across the board. and he was proven right. that is reagan. and before that it's kenned

it speaks a lot about reagan and it speaks a lot about reagan about the marriage of man and moment. bakerare guests, peter and susan glasser and their new book about james baker. we welcome your comments. (202) 748-8001 four republicans. for democrats, (202) 748-8000. for independents (202) 748-8002. texts, encourage your (202) 628-0184 -- (202) 748-8003 . we talk about white house chief of staff for ronald reagan, secretary of state for george h w bush, and also white house chief of staff. what brought him into washington in the first place under the presidency? guest: it was not a normal trajectory. wasn't normal for it now or ever. after one year of his arrival in washington, he went to run the presidential campaign. that is the surprise for peter and i was to realize during this time, much jim baker was an indispensable man in washington. he didn't even get there until he was 45 years old, making him the world's most successful midcareer change. his story of the previous two decades in houston i think really was a fascinating one for us to learn. it began with an unlikely friend

>> pat buchanan was a nixon white house aide and ronald reagan loyalist. he loved ronald reagan. his e-mail address is a variation. he was the ultimate reagan soldier but by the early '90s he decides that the conservative message missed a beat. it's not looking out enough for the working class americans and those are the people that have begun moving to the republican party foparty for cultural reas, prayer in school, against abortion rights, they don't like liberals and so they are moving into the republican party and pat buchanan thinks that they are being hurt by our economic message. we are closing down factories so they can move to mexico and we have to stop that. immigrants are moving and driving down wages and we have to stop that, tomac. he's quite eloquent about this. he says i began to develop a different view of what conservatism is and should be and it was very much early donald trump and anti-free trade and anti-nafta. it's very much anti-immigration and anti-imports from abroad. it's pro- american let's promote american industry. these are all basically heresies to

but reagan was a wonderful debater. whenever the red light went on the camera, boy he was good. , and the only debate they had in that 1980 campaign was one debate. and he just destroyed jimmy carter in that debate. and then, of course, he did something that i don't think will ever be done in american politics again. he asked somebody, me, who had run two campaigns against him, to be his white house chief of staff. everybody was shocked. nobody was more shocked than i was. but what a beautiful human being i was privileged to serve for four years. >> getting back to your magnificent statement of patriotism from our final question for this program, secretary baker. and i've interspersed some questions from our audience in thatast few, just know many of these came from the audience. somebody said, if james baker sat down with his grandchildren today, would you recommend a career in public service and/or politics? >> absolutely. without any question. and remember this -- and for your students out there -- politics can be a

it was initially ignited by president reagan when president reagan ran he believed the republican party could get vaguer by attracting disaffected democrats, independents back and that there would be a new coalition of america that would be a patriotic one and one that would assuredly when against the soviet threat. and america now and think president trump is leaving that xt great realignment where w will not invade everywher and invite everyone across arab border illegally and impoverish every town or untry with the trade deals so i think in a way this election represents how the political geographic map is changing and how the ideological spectrum is changing and the core principles ofhe party they think are different now in the neal libertarian days of the republican party that followed after president reagan. all that you believe that present as trump is goi to win in this upcoming election. we are gng to win four years from now. will that the the same for you or will matt gaetz be a different kind of congressman without a president trump? >> i can't imagine serving in a role where

when i was chief of staff for reagan. i would require the staff to come in and brief me, sometimes for two hours. and the press secretary is recorded in there saying, these were, i would bet, i would rather be out playing little league ball with my son than trying to brief baker for two hours for a "meet the press" appearance bust prior preparation is really, really important. particularly important, i think, in practicing law. i know it is important in trying to serve in washington in either politics or public service. and another thing i would say is, you know, i tell people, i was fortunate enough to be secretary of state in the united states at a time when we were on th that, on that nip tent almost. everybody wanted to get close to whiskers. i went all over the world, 91 countries over those four years and everybody admired the united states. everybody wanted to come to the united states. nobody wanted to leave the united states. guess what. with all of our troubles today, everybody admires the united states. some pe

after the first 1984 reagan/mondale debate, a slight majority of viewers thought reagan had won about 3%, who won. and an hour after negative reviews, the lead switched to mondale by one point. two days later polls showed voters thought mondale won the debate by a margin of 49%. so went from reagan winning to pretty even to within a couple of days mondale winning hugely. and the challenge for reagan in that first debate, who at that time was the oldest candidate. year now breaking records this year, he seemed a little confused and muddled and maybe he's getting too old for the job. he was the incumbent president running for re-election but his age kind of became an issue. another famous gaff was in 1976 in one of these first redo of debates in 1976 between ford and carter. now, this was long before the fall of the iron curtain, if you remember that phrase. it's when the soviet union had puppet stakes in eastern europe and soviet union controlled eastern europe. and ford misspoke. he meant to say the people of eastern europe do not feel like they are dominated. they don't accept soviet
