, it will be gorbachev that most needs the publicity back at home. >>> at reykjavik, the feeling was have to prepare all that much. according to everything we knew, it would be howdy, hello, handshake and photo op and it turned out to be anything but that. after the first morning when reagan and gorbachev met, we were called into the embassy which was right nearby. reagan says gorbachev really wants to reduce nuclear weapons, so he hands a piece of paper to no one in particular. all of us kind of grab it, we looked it over and it was a holy cow moment. this guy really wants to reduce nuclear weapons. here was a soviet leader who was not going by the script. here was a guy that wanted to do business. >> the first indication that some progress may have been made at today's talks at reykjavik came at a white house briefing a few minutes ago. there's no prediction yet on the outcome of the talks, but they give rise to some optimism. >> i was up there as the clock was ticking down. they had worked and worked and worked on an arms control agreement and at the last minute it fell apart. >>

gorbachev went to reykjavik and jumped in. reykjavik was supposed to be a presummit summit. he went there with the trap. he said mr. president, look at all that you can have. he went to bed feeling pretty well and the next morning gorbachev said there is one little detail. confine fdi to laboratory testing and reagan said no. that strikes me as decisive. gorbachev goes back to moscow and the game is over. it is correct that they cannot equal our economic and technical dynamism. they just can't play that game. been able to put reagan back in the box, may be they could have continued. but it reykjavik, a certain relationship ends. a certain kind of possibility for the soviet union and. it is over. >> we disagree on that. >> we will leave it there. we will come back in 30 years. >> we went to 40 minutes only one disagreement. >> join me in thanking these two gentleman for wonderful discussion. [applause] [no audio] >> you're watching american history tv, all weekend, every weekend on c-span3. to join the conversation, like us on facebook, at c-span history. after words.on exami

surpassed my expectations. >> you won't bother -- >> i went to reykjavik don't need to see the rest atalize on the franchise. >> seems like a gimmick. >> let's talk tech samsung getting buzz after sending out invitations for an event on august 23rd the company leaving a little doubt that it will reveal its galaxy note 8 or whatever it will call the next phone the invitation says do bigger things, perhaps hinting at a larger screen. the question is whether buyers will forgive samsung after all the battery issued caused some note 7s to catch fire. upstaging apple here, because apple's announcement is expected in september on their next phone. samsung says we'll beat you by two weeks. august 23rd. >> in fact, also we've seen from sales numbers that people have been loyal they got -- despite there being such a crazy issue with samsung and phones catching fire, the sales suggest people have remained loyal most people are buying the phones because of the operating system, not necessarily anything else it's hard to get people to switch over from samsung to apple. >> brand loyalty >>> coming

reagan when he had his private sessions media went berserk in reykjavik.an he was alone, you left him alone with the soviet premiere? they couldn't believe it was so brazen. neil: no interpreter. >> able to talk by himself. so that is par for the course. we don't trust our presidents. neil: there you go again, doug wead. we'll have more after this. today, we're out here with some big news about type 2 diabetes. you have type 2 diabetes, right? yes. so let me ask you this... how does diabetes affect your heart? it doesn't, does it? actually, it does. type 2 diabetes can make you twice as likely to die from a cardiovascular event, like a heart attack or stroke. and with heart disease, your risk is even higher. you didn't know that. no. yeah. but, wait, there's good news for adults who have type 2 diabetes and heart disease. jardiance is the only type 2 diabetes pill with a lifesaving cardiovascular benefit. jardiance is proven to both significantly reduce the chance of dying from a cardiovascular event in adults who have type 2 diabetes and heart disease ..
