joining me tonight, misty's father, ronald cummings -- excuse me, haleigh's father, ronald cummings. straight to the lines. gail in virginia. hi, gail. >> caller: hi, miss grace. how are you? >> i'm good, dear. what's your question? >> caller: i wanted to ask mr. cummings, the baby's been missing since february. why have they not brought in the cadaver dogs? >> you know, it's my understanding that they have. to t.j. hart. have cadaver dogs ever been brought in? >> yes, they have. in fact, they were out there several months ago, and cadaver dogs did make a hit on a dumpster. and actually, two of them. and they went through those dumpsters late into the night. our cnn/hln cameras were on that the whole time. they found nothing of significance. >> melody, oklahoma. or is that ohio, melody? >> caller: ohio. >> hi, dear. what's your question? >> caller: hi, nancy. i just got your book, and i cannot wait to read it. but anyway -- >> thank you. >> caller: she failed the first polygraph. now they're saying that she didn't -- that she failed the second, too. i can see her inconsistencies. but

even talk to ronald right now. she's on secret phone calls and stuff. she's ready to break. >> he called the phone and said that i'm going to take you to orlando to get you away because your days are numbered. he told me that if i didn't take them tests that he wasn't going to look for haleigh. >> misty, i said you know, what i've spent time with law enforcement and stuff, and i says i believe the day's going to come when you are going to be arrested. >> do you believe misty is the key to this investigation? >> no, i don't. i think they're barking up the wrong tree. >> okay. can i talk to her? okay. >> how the [ bleep ] did you let my daughter get stole, [ bleep ]? >> whether you accept it or not that your wife flunked a poly. have you asked her what happened? >> i asked her, but i don't get any answers from her about, you know -- i don't see -- what she's telling me is not inconsistent. >> if they were looking for the right person, they would have the answers. they're trying to get all the answers from me that i d

ronald cummings' plant is right here. there are two cell phone towers right in the vicinity of his plant. so they would be able to pick up the pings there. don't know how many towers there are between there and the trailer, but it's about a 15-minute drive. i find it interesting, because if you recall the very first police report, the officer who took the report said, you know, ronald got home at about 3:00 a.m., he was pulling up in the driveway at the same time she was coming out. if you recall, ronald was very, very upset because she called her "my dumb b-word girlfriend." but they should be able to tell, nancy. if there were 20 phone calls between here and here, i mean, 20 times, nancy. there should be records of this. >> you're absolutely correct. i also want to test those pings. >> absolutely. and did he try to call her brother, tommy? there will be records of that. did tommy call him back? there should be records of all this and exactly where these pings were between here and here. >> let's unleash the lawyers. i d

ronald was very happy to hand over this information to them. there's apparently a new agent who is working on the case, and they are starting "from scratch." >> we are taking your calls live. and joining us tonight also taking your calls is the mother of missing florida girl 5-year-old haleigh. also with her, the grandmother, haleigh's grandmother, crystal sheffield, marie griffiths, thank you for being with us. first to you, crystal sheffield, this is haleigh's mother. crystal, what do you make of the recent developments, the developments especially about misty croslin flunking a polygraph? >> i thought all along she had something to do with it. and now this kind of just proves it. >> why do you say you've thought all along that? >> she was the last one to see our daughter. and her stories just don't add up. everything she says is crazy. i mean, it's like the cops say, they're inconsistent. >> have you talked to ronald about the inconsistencies? >> i've said something to him about her recently. and he pretty much was like what do you want me t

ronald cummings' calling her. but conveniently that night, the night the little girl goes missing, she won't pick up her cell phone. will not answer any telephone. what about it, herman? >> hey, nancy -- >> hi, richard. >> -- that's a small community out there. if she left that home, surely by now, someone would have seen her. someone would have come to the authorities. >> can you answer the question? >> i don't know her. her phone was broken. she didn't hear it. there's a million reasons for that, nancy. >> no, mickey sherman, we have no evidence the phone was broken. we have no evidence there was anything wrong with her reception. that is b.s. all right! let's address the facts as we know them. everyone in her family and her soon-to-be husband trying desperately to reach her. she won't pick up during those crucial hours. what about it, mick? >> it's weird, bizarre. >> that's what you got for me, it's weird? >> no, and i also added bizarre. >> schaefer, what do you think? >> i think it's more sinister than bizarr

you need to know that ronald has got witnesses that ronald said he had 35,000 bucks.ck. so you need to have ronald under hypnosis. >> then good, there's dad spinning away from misty to ron cummings. you see the anger in his voice. we want to get to the bottom of this. $35,000? what's this all about. take your calls, 1-877-tell-hln. let's go to the source, tim miller's with us, director of equusearch. and former criminal investigator, tom lucich. tom, that's hank croslin sr., right? what was your reaction when you heard that? what do you make of it? >> you know, it's one of the things that my head started spinning again. and i wondered if there was any truth in it at all. and i actually talked to roy moffit, and roy moffit helped us in the past so many times on searches. and very hard working, successful businessman here in houston, texas. i got a call this morning from roy and he said, you know what, i will go ahead and write that check for $35,000. he wrote the check out. and then his office called about 30 minutes later and said, you know what, we pray ronald can go

cummings while ronald was at work that night. >> whoa. back it up. back it up. tommy is misty croslin, the girlfriend turned stepmother's brother. the brother has been taken in custody over some argument with neighbors over a gun. >> correct. absolutely. >> so he's behind bars on a $50,000 bond. and let me just tell you this, t.j. heart. you don't get a $50,000 bond on a gun charge. all right? >> no, you don't. >> so they are clearly keeping him behind bars, hoping he'll talk about haleigh. go ahead. >> purposely, they are. and they've admitted as such. and now, what had happened on that night, tommy tells the detectives with the putnam county sheriff's office that ronald had called him from work stating that he wanted tommy to go down and check on the trailer. he'd not been able to reach misty since they had a fight on the telephone earlier that evening. this is about the 10:00 hour. he agrees, he goes down to the trailer. he tells police that he he banged on the door and he got no answer. he looked inside through the windows, saw no lig

i know that ronald has been speaking with her regularly. i don't know the nature, the full nature of all those conversations, but i know that he has been speaking with her. >> my question is, why hasn't she come home? >> i can't answer that for you, nancy. i wish you could. >> when i laid down, i guess i was out. >> there's no way she could have wandered off? >> no, she is scared of the dark. she would not go anywhere by herself. >>> during the course of this, i was posing with some champagne glasses and did drink champagne. so maybe that's why i was feeling a little more comfortable. so it got late towards the evening and then he wanted to take some pictures in the hot tub. you know, a real pretty-looking hot tub outside. and i was in there up to here, but topless, but covered up. so that was even still fine. and i didn't think anything -- you know, i assumed if something was showing, it would be cropped out and it would be appropriate, because this was going to be for a magazine and it must be the way things are done. but then he got in t

back to you, ronald cummings.hat no more communications with misty croslin's family. >> do you believe that she will try again to undergo hypnosis in order to clear her mind regarding that evening? >> i'm not sure. i don't think so. >> why? >> because i don't believe that it's necessary. it's what doct most for headaches. for arthritis pain... in your hands... knees... and back. for little bodies with fevers.. and big bodies on high blood pressure medicine. tylenol works with your body... in a way other pain relievers don't... so you feel better... knowing doctors recommend tylenol... more than any other brand of pain reliever. asough newshengng i didn't know what to do. righabouthenoudoctor mentioned onat. he saieleases medicine continuouslyorhours. he said itould help with her cognition which includes ingsik memoasoning, communicatin anundersnding. e likelihoodndev ofhese sfe may increase as dose increases patients mayxperience loss of appetitor weight. paents who weigh less than 110 pounds mayxperience more sid

you know, why did ronald reagan offend so many people in europe? because at the time even thoughe was rht and was proven right and i think he freed about 100 billion europeans there was that cowboy swagger that scare th. even reagan who i never saw that in him. george w. bush ha that swagger. same with delay and sort of, and it just doesn't translate well in new england. >> host: get -- let's get to the book. i have million questions but let me preface it with this. when you were a young one coming up when you were a young man living in florida at some pointsou became political. you made a decision to be a conservative. you made a decision to be a republican or you started yourself, or you started thinking of yourself as a conservative. briefly how did that happen? what went into the making of a conservative in your case? >> guest: i think in my case it was a time that i got interested in politics. jimmy carter was president. >> host: you were a young man. >> guest: i with -- i w 17, 18 my senior year. we had the iranian hostage crisis. inflation w

ronald, what do you make of it? >> ms. nancy, i don't know what to make of it.at is the brother-in-law telling you? what are you hearing from misty's people? >> ms. nancy, we don't have much contact with the family. misty has an injunction against thomas, so we don't have any contact with them. >> to terry shoemaker, the attorney for ron ronald cummings, do you think they arrested him to put pressure on him to see what he knows about haylee's disappearance? >> $50,000 is very high bond for a grand left. so i would imagine they're looking at every angle they can and if they think they can put a little weight on him and get him to talk about anything he might know, i'm sure they're going to do ronald cummings. you say that no more communications with misty croslin's family. what is misty croslin telling you? is there any possibility that she left the home that evening and hasn't told you? >> if there is a possibility of it, i don't know anything about it. >> do you believe that she will try again to undergo hypnosis in order to clear her mind regarding that evenin

why ronald reagan won't make it. his biography of reagan was the triumph of imagination, i commented on the review that you could have gone lloyd's of london in 1997 to imagine richard reeves puttin the words reagan and triumph in the same sentence. others conclude brinkley more recently, his esteemed val, dwight eisenwer, a decade after he left office, as has been suggested by john, this admiration tends to be limited to the cold war story, the foreign policy story and the other part of it is the revelation srting ten years ago of reagan's extensive personal ratings in the 70s, letters in office which made us realize he did lot of thinking for himself, not merely speechwriters and staffers advisers. however, we tend either to ignore or get wrong his domestic policy story. to paraphrase reagan's famous movie line, we are left with the question of where is the rest of you, the conventional wisdom still nds to be set the rest of reagan's presidency was a fiasco like his domestic economic policy, every other column in t

i remember ronald reagan going well, conservatives conserve a radical concept. well, news hosts should deliver news and there's just a great hunger for it. >> people are starved for serious -- >> they r. i just had a a long line where i wac signing boo for an hour and they had to cutt off. and everybody that came up said the same thing. just abouthe same thing except for the one lady who said i was cute and i hugged her and thanked her. but the other one said thank you so much. i can't get serious new for three hours or two hours or one hour anywhere else. >> host: or soar vows -- serious genuine conversation. >> guest: right there's a second part of it really quicly. as yous know we don't shout, we don't scream this isn't the left versus the right this isn't crossfire. >> no, feels very congenial and familiar on the set actually. >> right w invite everybody >> the set is full of people who disagree on things. but it's a funny thing. a tone of peacefulness and affection is there. also helpfulness. i always notice on tee u' on some sws where people there's an anc

what more have you learned, what more has ronald learned about it?>> well, law enforcement's being pretty quiet about what actually took place. we have made some phone calls to some people we know in law enforcement and what they said is they can't confirm anything at this time but there was obviously a report that haleigh was spotted up there in massachusetts and they're checking it out. but they wouldn't go so far as to confirm anything. >> to julie in north carolina. hi, julie. >> caller: hi, nancy. >> what's your question, dear? >> caller: i'm just wondering why ron cummings told crystal cummings that he had no problem with misty's story but then he turned around and told police or a reporter when he was asked -- >> what about it, art? what about that? >> well, when i was with ronald months ago, you know, he did not have doubts about misty but he said, you know, he loved her despite this, he wanted to keep his friends close and his enemies closer. so -- ♪ when you take a bigger, thicker slice of the best potatoes, people notice. introducing alexi

and als ronald reaganwho personified these two competing strains of conservatism. and then i tried to do one of the thing, which is to show how it seems to me conservatism and its very best, its most vibrant. and in my estimation, my analysis those were maybe not the years many would think of. 1965 to 1975. not to drag everyoneo far back in time. a think some conservatism and the great political philosophy in america. and this is probably the place to say that this book is in many ways a celebration of coervatism. i was interviewed just a few moments ago by nick gillespie. ande asked me, couldn't you have written a book called the death of liberalismas well? and my immediate response was, yes, i could do it. i would answer that of a differently. yes, i could probably do it, but it wouldot be intesting. i don't think liberalism in the past has been particularly intestin conservatism has been the great modern american philosophy. that is not to say agree with all of its precepts or even with many of them, but it has been the most stimulating. it has been the most ori

it would be ronald reagaand newt gingrich. it's not a question is that they more than any other conservativ politicians cause more trouble for liberalism than any other contemporary conservatives. and i think it's also not a coincidence that both were unorthodox conservatives, which mimic the partly conformed to sam's understanding and approach of the subject. i don't think you'd call them accommodationist. we can argue about that perhaps. if conservatives do not learn to contest liberalism for the meaning ofrogress, they will remain little better than a crew to liberalism's which is the worst form of accommodation is an. i uld just say to sam challenge, maybe the conservative movement can think about seizing as a movement at the same time they progressive movement keeps stopping of itself in the same way. good luck with that. we may need reagan d gorbachev agreed to work out that deal.

are they going to be like the ones who opposed ronald reagan during the early days? what? >> i would not mind if the republicans who really liked this bill went for it, if in the same breath, those democrats who really truly oppose it do not vote for it, but i think a lot of democrats are going to vote for this just based on partisan loyalty, and they do not think it is right or good for america, but they want to be in unison, and it is the worst partisan politics i have seen in a long time. it does not make sense, neil. neil: in 1993, they were largely in unison with bill clinton with health-care reform, and it got off track, and they did not vote for anything. here, they could vote for something. what do you make of that? >> heck in 1993, they did vote on something, if you remember -- back in 1993. there was the income tax. neil: you argue that that is what killed them. >> that will kill them this time. i do not want to win that way, because they altogether vote for a lousy bill. i would much rather have a good democrats in their voting for good bills, and then i would s

what would ronald reagan say? these guys do remember ronald reagan, don't they? here's what he did say about medicare when it was just a twinkle in some socialist, fascist, community-hating organizing democrat's eye. >> we can write to our congressmen, to our senators. we can say right now that we want no further encroachment on these individual liberties and freedoms and that the moment th key issue is we do not want socialized medicine. write those letters now. call your friends and tell them to write them. in you don't, this program i promise you will pass just as surely as the sun will come up tomorrow rs and behind it will come other federal programs that will invade every area of freedom as we have known it in this country until one day, as norman thomas said, we will awake to find that we have socialism. and if you don't do this and if p i don't do it, one of these days you and i are going to spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it once was like in america when men were free. >> that was ronald reagan, 1961, on a rec

ronald reagan's top economist says think again. way. neil: i remember the revolution vividly. >> with the people are saying is they want to make sure that money is not too tight. if it is too tight, that is what caused the great depression. it is not true. not that monetary policy did not affect the great depression. i am sure it did. it was led by a terrorist. you have these huge tax increases in 1932. neil: it essentially started a worldwide trade war. >> it was the biggest tax increase in traded products in the free world during non wartime. they raised the tax rate to 63%. they put in the estate tax. they instituted a gift tax. they increased all sorts of other taxes. it is amazing what they did. in 1936, they've raised the highest personal income tax rate from 63% to 79%. this is the biggest tax increase ever. these people are all worried about monetary policy. what you also see what happened is during the great depression, from 1932 until 1937, because of very easy monetary policy, increasing the monetary base, we had a total infl
