reagan invited gorbachev to stroll through the garden to the pool house where they sat alone before areagan talk without notes, not about arms control but of his personal feelings about reducing the level of fear and misunderstanding between the two nations. >> the main thing was they met each other as human beings, reagan, in particular, had concentrated his attention on gorbachev as a person. he spent more time studying gorbachev than he did the esoteric things having to do with arms control. >> it is understood the president tried to dispel gorbachev's negative image of the u.s. gorbachev wouldn't budge but he was not nearly as combative as he was with other officials recently. >> is it a good sign? >> of course. >> i would think so. >> i was at lunch when ronald reagan came out of the first meeting with mikhail gorbachev and he said this is a new type of soviet leader. >> the president announced gorbachev will visit the u.s. next year and they agreed to accelerate arms talks. but the soviet leader was more negative. >> the solving of the most important problem concerning the arms

actually knows anything about russia he says this is to be emulated the trump is emulating the reagan gorbachev of detente era where they met for hours on end in closed door sessions to talk about denuclearization of very pressing political agenda we didn't have twenty four hour news cycle the time and we did have the equivalent of russia gate but it was the republican the right wing that was pushing that they were saying that i reagan was russia's dupe and they were his like their puppet and so yeah so now the next headline i bet you just killing me i bet you it will be ten of the cruise ship that's my instinct but i could be wrong so it's a climb anyway so so in the united states they're saying that low skill jobs are now being taken more and more by people with university degrees pushing out the the bottom rung of that but it's also this is the scariest thing this section i'm about to read to you now it is on certain whether universities are even delivering on their core purpose one recent study tracked thousands of students during their time at university it uncovered a rather disturbing pi

go ahead david yeah i think you know it appears to be all donald trump but just as you know reagan and gorbachev came. out of the meeting and were told by their advisors no no no you can't get rid of nuclear weapons every time trump has a good idea like get rid of nafta and nato he talks to his advisors and it's off the table i think that it was actually an actual break with us exceptionalism is not on the agenda of donald trump or his advisors i mean it would look like joining the international criminal court joining the convention on the rights of the child joy in the united states is party to fewer major human rights treaties then almost any other nation on earth it would mean giving up the veto at the united nations it would mean getting out of afghanistan there's a promise i'd like to keep i mean this is a guy who promised no more of these wars and bomb their family you know kill their families bomb the bleep out of them so it's easy to say he's keeping his promise because he promised a black and white one but the ones i'd like him to keep he's not keeping as well as you know a few like bui

i mean, you just have to go back to reagan and gorbachev.did together, it wasn't one led to the other. we know what it led to. i guess are you willing to concede that might be the case here? and the double barrel question, the president keeps saying he's the only one who could do this, that kim jong-un knows he's the only one that could do this. that what he achieved in this summit, beyond just the meeting, was a much more robust, much more determinative yield than any other u.s. president had achieved or had been able to do. >> well, i'll take the questions in the reverse order. as a factual matter, it's just not true that there is anything in this communique that hasn't been agreed to by the united states and north korea dozens of times in the past. whether it's the resumption of efforts to recover the remains of american servicemen killed in the korean war, or whether it's north korea's oft repeated denuclearization. it could have been written in pyongyang. but i will give the president this. he is the only person who could do this, but b

one of the great things that ronald reagan did was sitting down with gorbachev.ne of the highlights for me, i got to sit down for an hour with former president gorbachev and talk about his recollections with ronald reagan, but also talk about how both sides, both ronald reagan and gorbachev, had to defy the orthodoxy of theirot country to sit down and come to agreements. they didn't, you know, call each other names, they didn't say a murderous thug and talk about the terrible things, some of which did happen, there are a -- which did happen throughout a long period of time in the soviet union, they sat down and said let's make it better and they did. >> laura: are some of these government officials going to be coming to the united states? and are you extended an invitation with some thought of trump meeting with putin, i guess that's off the table. there's a lot on the table, off the table. i think people are very confused about this. >> they have two houses in our parliament, one called the federation, like our senate, and then the lower body. they have both agr

go ahead david yeah i think you know it appears to be all donald trump but just as you know reagan and gorbachev came out of the meeting and were told by their advisers no no no you can't get rid of nuclear weapons every time trump has a good idea like get rid of after nato he talks to his advisors and it's off the table i think that you know it was actually an actual break with u.s. exceptionalism is not on the agenda of donald trump or his advisors i mean it would look like joining the international criminal court joining the convention on the rights of the child joy in the united states is party to fewer major human rights treaties then almost any other nation on earth it would mean giving up the veto at the united nations it would mean getting out of afghanistan there's a promise i'd like to keep i mean this is a guy who promised no more of these wars and their family you know kill their families bomb the bleep out of them so it's easy to say he's keeping his promise because he promised a black and. but the ones i'd like him to keep he's not keeping as well as you know off you like building

reagan kept saying no, not doing it. gorbachev said that we are not going to give you anything. reagan said well, then that's fine. we are not doing that. they walk outside and there's racing where reagan who was not normally this aggressive is literally in gorbachev's face and saying you did this. you made a mistake. you screwed up. you are going to regret this. it's clear that reagan is really angry. i was in congress at the time about the sophisticated people came back and said this is a terrible mistake. he is such a good deal. six months later gorbachev came to washington and gave reagan every single thing you wanted. trump understands that model. the most powerful nation the world and you were the one applying sanctions and bring economic pressure to bear. you actually don't have to say yes. so be very interesting to see how he negotiates with kim jong un next week. how about ipods and open for questions. here's a chance to be a journalist. they are going to rush up with the microphones. we have an exciting moment here. you have your first victim right here. you have to be

it was ronald reagan who got gorbachev to take down that wall, that is a great thing for the world.he moon landing in 1969, less than a decade after president john kennedy asked nasa to put a man on the moon. it happened. it happened because we are great ford model t, i mean you think about the changes in the ability of people to go places and what has meant to everyday americans because they could suddenly afford to go visit that relative, or to go across into other states. i mean we have had so many incredible innovations. the internet, the internet, which helps people to exchange ideas and information and communicate all of these are wonderful things that we have accomplished. this country has been great, is great, and will be great. despite what some on the left like cuomo want to say. joining me right now with more insight, i have jessica tarlov, along with rnc spokeswoman caylee mcenany -- kayleigh mcenany. try to tell me why we're not great, jessica. i think that is lousy, pessimistic, pathetic argument for him to use and you know, frankly politically the wrong one. your thou

certainly i think that's true but we also have to remember even in the days when president reagan was speaking to gorbachevwas still ongoing espionage war, that is what nations do to one another this is on going espionage war that flares up with publicity, sometimes goes away but ever present. it is in the background of diplomatic negotiations. we have to always look at that while we approach the russians for diplomacy, but diplomacy must continue. david: scott, great to see you. thank you very much. susan. susan: here is another look where markets ending this wild week. all three major averages closing higher. the dow, s&p, in the green for the fifth week in a row. that is the longest winning streak since december, david. david: devastating floods in lynchburg, virginia. heavy rainfall sparking fears of a possible dam collapse. a live update from lynchburg next. susan: plus the anti-violence protesters filling streets of chicago as they call on democratic mayor rahm emanuel to step down down. gianno caldwell was at the protests. he joins us live next. >> if don't step up come to the people where the crime

is a great scene in the movie straight out of the news reels where ronald reagan was holding out for missile defense. gorbachev was offering everything. we can have armss limitations treaties and reagan kept saying i'm not giving it so they said that we are not going to give you anything. so, they walk outside and there is a scene where ronald reagan, not normally this aggressive, is in his face talking to him saying you database, you made a mistake, you are going to regret this and it's clear that he is angry. i was in congress at the time and all of the people came back and said this is a terrible mistake. all he had to do is give up the missile defense thing. six months later gorbachev came to washington and agreed to everything he wanted and gave up on trying to stop missile defense. ndi think trump understands that model. you don't have to say yes. the other guy that has a problem so it's interesting to see how he negotiates next week. you are practicing to be journalists, here is your chance. going to become an exciting moment here. you havee your first victim rigt here. you have to be more assertive.

ronald reagan said, we need peace through strength but b, let's cut a deal with gorbachev, let's trythe outer space treaty of 1967 could address these vulnerabilities, but it is way out of date. there it says nothing about lee jordan cannon, nothing. >> mark: no, the world has changed so much since then. thank you, thank you very much for that, professor. that is absolutely, extraordinary. it is a serious business and as you say, it may well be part of the president's legacy. that is it for "tucker carlson tonight." i want to thank our intern, caitlin, who is going off. she was so excited to get a picture or not with me, but with sean hannity. shawn is ready to take off, blast off into the stratosphere. >> sean: is that what you call it? blasting off. we do have big breaking news. mark, thank you. we have incredible dress, joe digenova, the great woodmark li. we have breaking news this hour. it is so much worse then we knew or thought. the story of corrupt doj official ex-foreign spies working together, literally to m becoming president, and after his election to destroy him. we have

but people forget how long it took ronald reagan to successfully deal with mikhail gosh alcohol. it took -- gorbachevk years of meeting after meeting before progress was made. >> well, certainly, it did take years, david. and, in fact, we thought we were losing it at a particular point until s.t.a.r.t. and, of course, he promised star wars and a host of other things. it was really internal that things started to come unglued in the kremlin. yes, what secretary pompeo has done is really advance something that we failed in '93 and 2000, 2009 and under barack obama in 2012 with the leap ahead. the reality is that we are making progress. we've got those 55 alleged, you know, parts of, you know, our soldiers back. we have three prisoners released. david: yes. >> we have, you know, a tunnel destroyed that that they used for testing. they've destroyed an icbm test site. now at the same time though as, you know, the secretary said the other day in the senate, they're continuing to make fissile material. they're continuing to, you know, put together another launch site. david: and the icbms, the actual missil

. >> president reagan is now much more eager to meet with the new leader of the soviet union. >> do you have an agreement, mr. president? >> mr. gorbachev
