reagan was first elected.e reports given to reagan showed radios were being effective, dissatisfaction grew gradually, the situation could turn into a crisis like the one in poland. the soviet authorities had freaked out and didn't know what to do. what the united states was doing could force the soviet union into a military response and that would be very troublesome for the us. so it was time to move to the next step of the strategy, suddenly reagan changed road. the president of the united states. during these first days of 1984, i would like to share with you and the people of the world, my thoughts a subject of great importance to the cause of peace, relations. between the united states and the soviet union. protests against his war-mongering policies didn't let him keep playing his previous role for a long time. in order to put an end to all that, the soviet authorities were urged to help those people come to power who could negotiate with reagan and dissuade him from following that strategy. pipes had p

the cold weather didn't let reagan and gorbachev stay outside, especially because reagan didn't have overcoat with him. in the hope of developing a warmer relationship, the two leaders went inside. "the reason for the talks was reducing nuclear weapons, but in fact gorbachev wanted to normalize relations with the west. the atmosphere of the negotiations seemed intimate, but everybody knew one thing might lead to the failure of the talks, sdi, or star wars. since the beginning of his presidency, reagan had been investing in a very costly project. which seemed more like a gamble, he'd proposed creating a system in space which could hunt any nuclear and non-nuclear rocket we enjoy today, what if free people? could live secure in the knowledge that their security did not rest upon the threat of instant us retaliation to deter a soviet attack that we could using that system would render the soviet union nuclear missiles virtually useless, and the us could attack the soviet union whenever it wanted to, without waiting for its opponent's response. in the past, the fear of a response had pre

. but reagan rejected his suggestion. the communists were on cloud nine. the situation was not bad, it was terrible. gorbachev pulled the pin forever. a few months later, when gorbachev didn't expect it, reagan wrote him a letter and asked him to continue negotiations. gorbachev didn't agree. but sometime later he regretted his decision. gorbachev had come to do whatever it took to put an end to the hostilities. the only thing which was not negotiable was the star wars project, completing that project meant nuclear war was practically transmitted from the earth to space. even us allies opposed the project, let alone gorbachev. he went to rakyalic in the hope of making reagan change his mind about the project so that they could reach an agreement. began by accepting earlier. reducing half of both parties weapons, nuclear and non-nuclear, he even went further and accepted zero option, that is the elimination of all nuclear arms. reagan was shocked, but he tried to act normally. what he wanted the soviet union to do was now

reagan even vetoed his cabinet's proposal to help gorbachev. reagan accomplished his mission. he was leaving the kremlin triumphantly while everything in the soviet union was falling apart. the only thing which was growing was strange tendency for western lifestyle. long cues eat american burgers caused the superpower in the east to lose face. asked seven largest economies in the world for economic aid, but then again they promised to help rather than actually helping. the situation was so bad that meat couldn't be found in stores, sugar was rationed and only small provisions were sent from the us military to the soviet union. gorbachev was under strong pressure from two sides, the communists who from the beginning didn't approve of the united states and were calling for immediate end to interaction with it, and the reformists who believed the problem was the slow pace of implementing the reforms proposed by the us. everyone was tired of gorbachev, and people were stuck between rock and a hard place, the communists or the reformists. finally, a big shock put an end to all doub

reagan says the soviets gave up on star wars. on the other hand, the economic situation of the soviet union was getting worse each and every day, and if the results of the agreement were not immediately tangible for the people anything might have happened to. как жить, как прожить, где хлеба взять? the economic condition was very bad. the slogans against sk could be heard even few meters away from him and the strikes and the protests continue. the only thing reagan offered was his new demands, this time about human rights, among them life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness that no government can justly deny the guarantees in their constitution for freedom of speech, freedom of assembly and freedom of religion, he even went further and held a secret meeting with opponents. nobody knew what the meeting was about, few months later at the united nations, the world leaders had a man in front of them was risking everything he had in order to get something of conventional armaments will also be substantially reduced, this will be don

the new book reagan his life and legend begins with reagan's tumultuous childhood and follows him toe and beyond. as we sit 37 days away from an election boots a book holds relevance to today. in the book's introduction he poses the important question, did reaganism contain the seeds of trumpism? he examines reagan's personality, politics. he looks at how the charismatic ex-tv personality develop trust and optimism among followers while maintaining few close personal relationships. his rhetoric did not always line up with this policy, how he utilized dog whistle tach x to harness populism while simultaneously supporting immigration. certain aspects of the legacy hold remarkable similarities to trump. he writes of reagan far from claiming it was morning in america, he was suggesting it was 10 minutes to midnight because california and the country were being destroyed by liberal policies. he resisted the label but was widely and correctly perceived as the white backlash candidate. another similarity between the two republicans is their relationship with the truth. reagan had a disturbi

we see the same thing with reagan.eople who have no idea what ronald reagan stands for are against what 90% of what ronald reagan stood for, whether you talk about free trade or immigration, or whether you talk about standing up to russian aggression, i could go down the list. whether you talk about being conservative ideologically and moderate temperamentally, working with democrats, working with tip o'neil types. there's such a radical difference, that, again, just like tim keller is saying, i don't call myself an evangelical, because it's now a political phrase, i feel the same thing about people who claim the mantle of ronald reagan. >> it's amazing, you know, the number of republicans i run into who actually believe and say that trump is an heir to reagan is amazing to me. there is this really remarkable con job that is taking place, i think, within the republican party, where a very many republicans actually still believe that the current republican party is part of that reagan legacy, when it is a direct repudia

the idea of reaganism leading to trumpism. you note in the book, by 2016, reagan's party had left his genteel brand of politics for the harder edged populism of donald trump. many analysts wondered if trump represented a repudiation of reagan's legacy or a continuation of it. the truth, as with questions of reagan's intelligence was complicated, there were many obvious differences between trump and reagan, both in their policies and styles. reagan was pro immigration, pro free trade and pro nato. but the reality is we are none of those things today as republicans. how does that backdrop really inform us about what is playing out right now on the national stage? >> thank you for having me on michael. it is certainly face setting to see how the party has changed since reagan's hay day and you see it vividly in the camp that trump is telling lies about immigrants, claiming they are eating their household pets. and reagan in his farewell address talked about one of our great strengths was the imgrpts grnts. that is the difference

reagan is the worst movie of the year.you may have suspected that this would be absolute trash but it turns out you didn't think low enough. i mean you look at this and you can't help but think about politics. you can't help but think... can relieve the politics out of entertainment. >> i don't think so i guess. i would like to. reagan is a great movie and people are going to see it and they are standing up at the end. not to walk out but to applaud one of the great presidents of the 20th century. my favourite president actually. i guess, 98% of the people can't be all wrong. that's for sure. >> trace: here's the interesting, the good news about this. the movie was number 2 yesterday , it is number 1 today which means goodbye deadpool and wolverine, goodbye alien, a goodbye it ends with -- it ends with us. now reagan is sitting up top there and it's getting in more theatres so it looks like this thing is gaining some steam despite the critics. >> i think i've only had one other movie in my whole career that actually went u

that's the real ronald reagan. >> his name is synonymous with conservatives but your portrait of reagan is much more nuanced and much more pragmatic that's one of the central paradoxes of reagan michael is that he could be very ideological and he was often quite far to the right, especially in the 60s and 70s. >> and a warning that social welfare programs like medicare and medicaid were going to lead to a socialist or even communist takeover of the united states. but once he was in office, he pivoted to the center and turned out to be supremely pragmatic i mean, in fact has the first big bill he signed as governor of california in 1967, was a large increase in spending and tax texas to deal with the looming budget deficit. i mean, he signed one of the most liberal abortion laws in the country in both sacramento and washington, he cut deals with democrats and ultimately, his crowning achievement as president was working with mikhail gorbachev, the world's number one communist, two peacefully in the cold war, despite a long career as an anti-communist. so i think that shows you why he was
