reagan, iran. typically when we think about reagan in the middle east, oftentimes think of lebanon, perhaps the airstrikes in libya or the iran-contra scandal. but i want to refocus us on a topic that isn't often discussed, and that is reagan's relationship with the islamic republic. so to begin, i'll set the scene for. you see if i can get this to work. there we go. in 1979, much changed in the middle east. and i'm just going to highlight three events that you may or may not be of. number one, the soviet union invaded,hanistan beginning their ten year occupation of the number two, drew heyman, maltby and several islamists radicals with him occupy the mosque in mecca. d they held it for two weeks untich scialces able to evacuate them from the premises. and third, o course, you had the iranian revolution and the hostage crisis that it resulted in. and so during the 1980 campaign,

and front of reagan, reagan was calling on this constructive engagement. but when he found himself by himself alone with monitors darcia, finally, he been down to the store and accepted the fact that i preferred shift and that may be something like that could have done that. i mean, so we appreciate it. thank you very much. indeed for being with us, and i'll just like to set things a wonderful night together and talk, continuing around the world geography and leaders and music in brussels. they're expected to call for the establishment of humanitarian condos and pauses in the bombardment of gaza. set boston's in brussels and she's been following developments . no cold for a ceasefire coming from russell's nor a condemnation over the thousands of civilians as in gaza due to his wally bombardments. so what lead us here in brussels hope to agree on is some kind of human to terry and pause all pauses. there is a huge disagreement among division among the leaders here, a part of the group to lead by germany, which plays a fairly important role. looking at the h

reagan out to impeach ronald reagan. why was so and why did it happen to nixon? nixon resigned one step ahead of the impeachment. and so nixon resigned. why did it happen to nixon and not to reagan? and i would say the difference people liked and, you know, that might sound trivial. talking about, you know, great of government, but when you live in a democracy when you operate your politics on, the principles of democracy. well, every election is in essence, a popularity contest. do people like you and if they you, they'll cut you some slack. they cut reagan a lot of slack and they nobody was going to cut nixon any slack because he wasn't likable. and it's a it all sounds like junior high, but. but that's the way things often work. you know, i've often thought that that clearest gauge for if you want to know who people are going to vote for, who's going win an election, the question should who would you rather sit down and have a beer with that candidate or candidate b? and if a candidate gets the sides, that candidate is going to win because. people want to feel that that person in the white house, if we're talking about the president, somehow knows me and there has to be a of

reagan ushered in the celebrity presidency ronald reagan. the era of deregulate it and the growth of cable in the 1980s. that's got to be because ronald reagan that was my assumption going into it. and research actually shows that reagan capitalized on these changing cultural values, these changing ways in which campaigns in the 1960s going to the primary, appealing to people as fans. this ultimately created a political and a cultural system in which he could say that he represented the people that his performance, his ability to perform with part of his qualifications. and so he makes that when he runs for governor in 1966 he calls himself citizen politician. that because he was an actor. he understood the people better and that's why he should win election at that time you know his acting background was still controversial but the really fascinating thing is that nixon helps make it not controversial. he he really he's studying reagan and there are boxes and boxes at the nixon library that are just labeled reagan research where nixon is studying and seeing that wow he's got this ability to connect with audiences. there's a line that says,

reagan's initial model was fdr. >> yeah, right. although marty anderson once said in my long years of reagan i never once heard him approve any specific new deal policy. he liked fdr style. and there's something to be said for that. >> i will just jump in here to say first of all, with reagan we talked about executive power. we cannot forget foreign-policy. that reagan had a very expansionist view of the president's role in that realm. the other thing that is so interesting to me, i always try to bring it back to presidents as writers. and wilson and teddy roosevelt, two presidents who did more than anybody to start this modern presidency executive power. you can see it in the writing. they boast two good books. his first book was about the naval war of 1812. and in that book you will not find a more ambivalent view of heroism, if you look at treatment of all the war of 1812 in the naval conflicts. it is not that perry was some great leader was able to motivate his shoulders. he had more cannons. and roosevelt did all the research. on american ships they can point more cannons in the same direction to create a better broadside. it was a very lit logistical book that talked about research. by the time teddy roosevelt got close to becoming a hero himself his books were quite

reagan in those days were too young to know that reagan didn't mean what he was saying. and now, many of those republicans or in the house of representatives and even younger republicans, who never heard ronald reagan speak, are among the most energetic traffickers in rhetoric. it expresses uncontrollable hatred of government. the american government. including parts of the government that were one of reagan's favorites, like the fbi. republicans and only republicans in congress want to abolish the fbi. they say they want to destroy everything in government. they say the only reason to preserve the justice department in any form is to use it to prosecute republicans political opponents, and no one else. and when they say that, they are echoing the leading republican presidential candidate who is openly campaigning for the presidency, simply so he can use the presidency for his own personal purposes. that is the kind of madness kevin mccarthy was trying to preside over in the house of representatives. until today. when just one member of the republican party filed a motion for a vote on removing kevin mccarthy from the speakership. the motion is called a motion to vacate the chair. 210 republicans v

when the democrats would say, reagan like acid rain or wants to get rid of medicare, reagan's people would say, look, you know ronald reagan. you have seen him on tv shows for all these years. the american people thought, hey, i know this guy. he is not the mean guy they're depicting. for reagan, i think it depicted in a positive light because he was known to the american people. i think that has helped him get to the presidency. >> do you think it helped him tell stories in a way that was effective for the american people because he understood the arc of the story by being someone who had acted in film? >> he was absolutely a great story teller. he also referred to movies as president. saw the movie "rambo," about the time the twa flight seven hijacked and american service members have been murdered by terrorists. he said, i saw the movie "rambo," and i know what to do next time this happens. he sees the movie "wargames," matthew broderick about a cyber hack of norad, and he says, we better look into this and make sure that this thing can't happen in real life. he did use movies as a way to not only inform his thinking, b
