do you think this is going to affect the legacy of ronald reagan, keith boykin? people. he is old enough. he is dead now. his presidency so far past in history that it's hard for people to sort of examine this and to really care. >> he is the gold standard of republican president. >> he is. but the republicans have a long history. they been playing the race card, as they say, for 50, 60 years now going back to 1964 when barry goldwater, as david mentioned, ran a race, he voted against the civil rights act 1964, became the republican nominee a week or two later, and that was the end of the party of lincoln. and so you have that history that goes even beyond that. people can be both a racist and be a good person. you can be a good father and still be a racist. people like dwight eisenhower who by all accounts was a good person, the general, he also made very negative comments about the brown versus board of education decision. he told the supreme court basically to not allow black people to be integrated into the schools because people didn't want an overgrown negr

reagan and the way the media treated ronald reagan it will come across but the truth of the matter is and to turn the face against the wind to challenge the political class and i promise you we have the same kind of strength of president donaldld trump is fighting every day to make this country safe and prosperous and we've already started to drain the swamp. [cheers and applause] >> and with those timeless principles under the president's leadership we have seen a conservative renaissance. think about it to a half short years we have cut taxes, rollback red tape, and niche american energy and have free and fair reciprocal trade deals putting america jobs america's workers first. [applause] and the results have been remarkable in the economy that is not only the strongest economy on the face of the earth but the most prosperous economy in the history of this country. [cheers and applause] and i just want to encourage folks that graduation may not be too far down the road as people are looking for work but the truth is since election day the leadership that you support from the white h

do you think this will affect the legacy of ronald reagan? >> i think it will for some people.ar past in history, it's hard for people to examine this and really care. >> he is the gold standard of republican presidents. >> republicans have a long history, they've been playing the race card for 50, 60 years now, going back to 1964, when barry goldwater, as david mentioned, ran a racist campaign. he voted against the civil rights act, and became the republican nominee. and that was the end of the party of lincoln. you have the history that goes beyond that. people can be a racist and be a good person. you can be a good father and be a racist. dwight eisenhower, he was a good person and made negative comments about brown versus board of education decision. he told the supreme court not to allow black people integrated in the schools because people didn't want an overgrown negro sitting next to the white children. that's the racism that we don't talk about. >> david, i have to run. quickly, if you can tell me, do you agree with patti davis saying that legacies are difficult? >> i

i remember when ronald reagan was governor. i remember i remember when pete wilson was governor, i remember the great days of the golden state. accomplish now you can see what blue, one-party rule does. take this most magnificent state in the country and puts its number one where it ought to be number 50 and number 50 where i ought to be number one it's a disgrace what the left has done to this country, and they're so proud of them. s they trying to do it to the state to the whole country. when you look at the people who are running right now, i'm speaking for myself, north the library here. when you look at the people who are running on the democrat side, they're insane. absolutely insane.

president ronald reagan famously said freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. reagan understood the importance of reaching young people throughout his life, which is why he joined our advisory board in 1962, and entrusted young america's foundation to -- reagan'sf president consistent effort to reach new generations of young people, he inspired many to follow his lead and carry the torch for conservatism. one such leader who was inspired is our special guest this morning. vice president mike pence is a leading proponent of reagan conservatism today. the people of indiana elected him six times to represent him in congress. on capitol hill he established himself as a champion of limited government, fiscal responsibility, economic -- as governor of indiana, vice president pence increased school funding, expanded school choice, and crated the first pre-k plan in indian history. cuts, thee record tax state remained fiscally responsible and the vice president worked with members of the indiana journalists only to budgets whichced lefty state with a aaa credit rating.

i love coming here -- [applause] the history of ronald reagan is so crucially important.he turned this country around, he defeated the soviet union. he did so many things that young people need to learn about and so forth. it is a treat for my family and me and my friends to be here. i can't tell you, john heubusch is absolutely the most fantastic friend -- [applause] and melissa and his staff are absolutely unbelievable to do something like this with all of you. but i want to tell you from the bottom of my heart, to sit there and see one beautiful patriot american after another from from every walk of life, from all over the country, from all over the world, look around. every pigmentation, gay, straight, children, 91-year-old, a 97-year-old, people who have served in war, people who have been in law enforcement, i cannot tell you how broad -- how proud i am when you come to a place like this for one of our national, i call it national town hall meetings to reinvigorate ourselves so you know that there are people who share your viewpoints, who care about this country. i'

it is a continuation of what we hearard ronald reagan say 54 yes ago longer.ould call these talking points ever gray and they trot them out to scare people whenever there is a threat to profits. it will not work this time because increasingly people are not spooked by terms like "socialized medicine." people are realizing they have been sold a bill of goods by the insurance industry. what we do in this country is care based on ability to pay. there are americans all over the country who do not get the care they need, not because we have a socialized system like another country, we don't, and even that turn is used purposely to scare people. we don't let people get the care they need because people don't have the money to get the care they need. in particular, we are talking about people who are called middle income individuals and families. they just simply in many cases cannot affto ththey need bebecause in many c, they cannot afford insurance. the affordable care act did some good. it provides subsidies for those who have relatively low income. it does not d

as ronald reagan said in his 1980 campaign, the time is now for being able to strike it. we are leaving the european union on the 31st of october. prime minister johnson has been made it very clear. there will be no ifs. there will be no buts. of course we want to secure a deal with the eu, but we have to leave with no deal, so be it. as we do that, of course working with the u.s. is going to be very important. you are our biggest single trading partner in economic terms. but for me, it's about more than just the economics. the u.s. embraces a spirit of optimism and can do. i think you can see under the new government in place in westminster. we don't believe the gloomsters and the doom sters, who say that britain's best days are behind us and we need to manage our decline. quite the opposite. we think that our best days are in front of us. and as it's been almost said, it is morning again in britain. [laughter] >> we're not afflicted by the declinism. we are confident about our future. we believe that britain is well placed to become europe's largest economy. with the ne

. >> host: we want to welcome back henry olsen, author of the book the working-class republican, ronald reagan and return a blue-collar conservatives from dick is a senior fellow at the think tank the ethics and public policy center. good sunday morning. we've been talking to whether or not there is a stigma with donald trump's supporters. is there? >> guest: there is definitely. particularly among higher educated people, if you say you're a trump's a quarter, you are considered to be a fill in the there's epithet of the day. it's slightly affects the polls is one way we can see this is in the gap to 20 trump reelect numbers and job approval. we know from the past to my presidential elections the president will get within 1% of this job approvall rating. there's all these polls up saying there's a lot of people who say i approve of trump's job but i'm notjo get on board with them. that's poppycock. they will vote for him if they approve of hisve job he will voe for him. that'ssi a sign of the stigma trauma are you worried about a looming recession? >> guest: anybody should be concerned.

ronald reagan said that personnel is policy. the type of people that we hire for the type of policies that we're going to have. and if that's the case, then that means that elections are about personnel. and elections matter. and if elections matter, well, then that means that our party matter. your being involved in what we do makes a difference, makes a difference of the things that you care about that actually get you involve. as a result of your efforts for the last, you know, year, year and a half especially as we close this last election season, we've had another year of incredible successes, 2018 election cycle. office very statewide in republican hands again. again, give yourselves a round of applause. we maintained our state house majority again. we picked up more local and county offices all around the state again in 2018. and not only that, but we more than doubled -- more than doubled the number of people who voted absentee republican statewide in the last cycle. and the statistic i'm most proud of or blown away by,

much like ronald reagan did. giving no quarter at all on our sanctions for diplomatic postu posture, it's good to talk but we shouldn't take steps backwards, give everything that kim is demanding. until they sit down at the negotiating table, it's hard to see what that will be. >> i was wondering if you could discuss the importance that military service plays. >> if you're not thinking about joining the military, you should be. especially the army. they are very fine services as well. if you're not thinking about joining, you should be. in the military will put you in the best place in life no matter where you go. there's nothing you can do in the next two to four years that will better prepare you for the next steps of your life. what you earn, the responsibilities you have, serving your country cannot be learned at the best companies or schools in america. when you're done with service, you can learn all of your peers have been learning working in office. if you are not thinking about joining, the military serv

let me begin with ronald batory. a decade of litigation that seems to be over, the supreme court did not appeal from the association of american railroads to review in lower court, addressing whether amtrak and fra deliver on-time performance metrics, and standards for trains. the litigation is over, amtrak, amtrak and fra may issue metrics. what can we expect to see with regard to the new metrics on-time performance. >> thank you for that. i can sit before all of you and tell you amtrak's history, i have been in the railroad industry, and been highly involved in the dispatching of passenger and freight trains. with that said, logged out of part b of the improvement act, standard metrics, fra and amtrak, nearly a decade ago, substandard metrics that we are now engaging in a small commission without support to evaluate legitimacy of those standards started two days ago and it was very productive, chaperoned with policy and development section and legal section and i will share this piece of trivia that is factual. the

ronald was the best of what north beach has to offer. he embodied the spirit of the beach, uncompromising, unwaivering while leading his own undelighted liiluted life. over the past two years, we watched as ronald fought his illness in a way few of us could imagine. there was no bitterness, no self-pity, no regret. he stood tall and strong, reading his latest works with passion and commitment even as his body was giving out. who could listen to his words and not be touched by their power and brilliance? ronald, we will miss you, and back to his partner of many years. >> clerk: thank you. supervisor ronen? >> supervisor ronen: if you google corporate rental s.f., you will find a seemingly endless list of units markets for extended stay and corporate housing. they offer direct billing to corporate accounts, stocked kitchen and bathrooms, concierge amenities. by loose count, there are more than 100 of these in the mission and many more spread throughout the city. they include condos, apartments, rentals, and single-family home. what they ha

. >> nawaz: a recently unearthed audio recording of ronald reagan from 1971 haues raisedions about thepresident's views on race. lisa desjardtains a closer look now at the comments made nearly fifty years ago, and reagan's complicated legacy. >> desjardins: in the early 1970s, ronald reagan was governor of california, and already a national name in republican polics. on the morning of october 26, 1971, reagan called up president nixon at the white house. >> hello? >> mr. president? hope i didn't get you out of bed. >> no, i'm... ( laughs ) >> desjardins: their 12-minute chat was captured onresident nixon's white house tapes, and was released in full by the national archives just last month. it includes governor reaganlu using a racistto describe a group of african diplomats at the united nations. >> last night, i tell you, to tch that thing on television, >> desjardins: reagan was reacting to this u.n. session the day before, where the u.s. lost major votes over the rise of china, and whether communist china should be seated as the official chinese delegation. beijing won with a coalit

bush administration or the ronald reagan administration? ..uy who lived in -- he was transported. he did hook it down off his dating profile because no one would look at that. he really liked this woman who did talk to him. if her friends said how could you do this? she walked out in one state. i asked, if you had a chance, would you talk to her? she was very thoughtful. she said, why? i consider them the antichrist if they are for truck. after we had a long conversation, and i wasn't trying to convince her to go back to him, i said before you ever in a situation for somebody who you are with didn't treat you with? and vice a versa? i told her that this is a chemotherapy test, when you are lying on a hospital bed, would you want this person can give direct? having been in the bed, that's what is to me. >> who passed that for you? >> rick passed that test. i got chemotherapy and rick was there. >> -- she came and did my laundry. my closest friend at the time, who was a political democrat never showed up. i also had a remarkable story that i tel

that was enough to enrage none other than ronald reagan, then the governor of california, who picked up the phone to give richard nixon some offensive thoughts. >> last night after watching that thing on television. to see those people from african countries. they're still uncomfortable wearing shoes. >> and the tail wags the dog there, doesn't it? >> yeah. >> the tail wags the dog. >> you can tell by the hearty belly laugh nixon gives reagan in response to him calling african diplomats monkeys who just wear shoes, nixon loved reagan's material so much he picked up the phone and repeated the sentiment to his secretary of state. >>, i for example, just had a call from reagan, california. you know, he's been out there and so forth. as you can imagine, there's strong feeling that we just shouldn't -- as he said, he saw these cannibals on television last night and they weren't even wearing shoes. here the united states is going submit its fate to that, so forth and so on. but that's typical of a reaction, which is probably quite strong. >> yeah, just focus grouping ronald reagan as what

. >>> audio recordings have sur farced from nearly a half century ago between president nixon and ronald reagan. the two held derogatory reports. it was the day after the united nations voted to recognize the people's republic of china. reagan phoned nixon at the white house to vent his frustration at african delegates who celebrated the vote. >> last night i tell you to watch that thing on television as i did, to see those -- those monkeys from those african countrieies, damnit, they're stl uncomfortable wearing shoes. >> the ronald reagan foundation said if he said that 50 years ago, he shouldn't have, and he would be the first person to apologize. nixon, reagan called william rogers and adopted reagan's racist language. >> later that month nixon laughed at the comments from his best friend beebe rah b-- rah bw sew. >> that reaction on television was that it proves how they ought to be still hanging from the trees by their tails. >> even in 1971 that language would have shocked the general public. president trump has been under fire for his racist tweets. in an interview he told c-span

ronald reagan. that got people to receive them. >> i am not going to exploit for political purposes my opponent's youth and inexperience. >> they called him the great communicator for a reason. in some ways, democrats found their own reagan in barack obama. that keynote address he gave at the 2004 democratic convention. >> my parents not only share an undeniable love. they shared a faith in this nation. giving me an african name barrak which means blessing. >> from that speech, the movement that would land him in the white house a few years later was born. you see it with a lot of the candidates now. elizabeth warren wants to be known as the candidate of policy and ideas. but she connects the ideas to her personal story to her up bringing. >> growing up out in o great depression. i saw what lack of opportunity to people can do. >> you have a policy core to you but you also need a personality that make people believe you are the one who can deliver on those. political history to me shows both matter.

ronald reagan. >> ronald reagan? is that angelina jolie? >> ...thousands of them!ssion and a drug. >> an obsession that fathered this man's strange inheritance. >> i basically got hundreds and hundreds of boxes. >> this is truly unbelievable. what was your reaction when you saw the magnitude of what he had? >> i was blown away. >> but does the heir really know what he's signing up for? >> $4,250. now $4,500.

ronald reagan once said that personnel is policy. the type of people we hire are the type of policies we will have. if that is the case, then elections of our personnel and elections matter and if elections matter than our party matters. you involved in what we do makes a difference about the care of things that get you resolved. -- asalt of your efforts, a result of your efforts, we have had another year of incredible successes. we kept every statewide office in republican hands again. give yourself a round of applause. we maintained the statehouse authority again. we picked up more local and county offices around the state again in 2018. not only that, we more than wholed the number of people voted absentee republican statewide in the last cycle and the statistic i am most proud of or blown away by was the result on the straight ticket ballot. this was only the second election in the history of south carolina that republicans be democrats on straight ticket voting. the first time was in 2016, we beat them by three points statewide.
