ronald reagan just said no.ricans. in that belief and strength he was an antidote to those days when america was feeling that perhaps it's days were behind he would put us up on a different road and oh how we soared. ronald reagan was an antidote because of his unfailing confidence in america. his unfailing belief in our values. his plan of action, his amazing ability to communicate a vision and his unforgettable sense of humor. , ronald reagan lifted america in those days. that is what we remember in the documents, and the way that this museum reflects back that moment when you can stand in the oval office and think about what it must've been like to walk into the day after the inauguration and say to yourself i have to lift america up and he did. remembering is one of the important reasons for a celebration today. the memories for a celebration today is the teaching and informing that this library does. when your university professor, you are forever aware of the passage of time in the passage of generations,

muscle beach was shut down in the late 1950s, but the world that ronald reagan came from.he was around in california even though in those days he was a democrat back then but that's a story for another day. the other thing i think is interesting, the main photo for the piece, an exercise machine in the gym, not in the traditional theater roosevelt imagery. by 1983, working out in a commercial gym, a man from a straight man, a leader working on his body in this particular way considered not at all a question of his masculinity but to uphold it, this is a puff piece that came out in a moment where it's clear to be somebody who goes to the gym is a positive, supposed to reflect positively on the present and it did because by 1983, fitness in general was becoming uncontroversial and kind of a celebrated virtue, such that somebody like ronald reagan can do it as he can bodybuilder figures who are still considered to be rather suspicious. let's keep going. talking about the founder of novelist, there he is. i'm not going to do so because you've read a lot about the pounding of a

morning in america is ronald reagan's presidential campaign slogan.i put the question mark because for a lot of people it was not morning in america. the cutting of social programming, cultural conservatism particularly in hiv-aids which ronald reagan was very late to acknowledge at all as a disease, that was not a donning in america, it was one of the darkest times in the united states so it is really important when we see images like this one that i put here to realize all the glitz and glamour which today's very much sort of being reinvigorated, retro celebration of the 80s, that was an era a lot of people suffered a lot due to these policies. after that headline last week, it came to my attention some of you don't know what your bees are. that the term that came in use in the 1980s to refer to young urban professionals and all the things they like to do like those croissants and jogging and triathlon speaking big, a bit of a play on hippies and often it was used mockingly, these people are individualistic, in it to climb the ladder on their own, k

this is during ronald reagan's first term, that's president ronald reagan there working out on i believe a nautilus machine. you read a lot about the history of nautilus in jonathan black's book for your reading for today. and here, if you take a little closer look at this slide, you can see the president's personal exercise program, how to stay fit. we're not going to do a close textual analysis of this slide, although you certainly can pause it at home. this image on the right of reagan chopping wood, that is totally of a piece with what we talked about earlier in the 20th century with teddy roosevelt getting out in the great outdoors, celebrating the strenuous life through manly sports like chopping wood or in here he talks about horseback riding too. that, there's a real continuity there. but two things here, possibly three, really highlight that this is a different era. one, there's a joke in the caption there, where reagan says, pumping firewood is what the president calls this activity of him splitting logs. so pumping firewood, of course that's a joke about pumping iron, remember

, but it was not just because of ronald reagan that the economy was growing so much back then. but as well, it's also because we came out of the huge recession prior, but still no question that this growth rate is pretty impressive. we definitely see company. it's after all those supply chain issues and some of them still lasting, restocking quite a bit. so that was one of the key reasons why we saw this extreme economic growth, especially in the last quarter of 2021 williams. can we expect this to last given that omicron inflation? a continued supply chain issues, all are still out there. well to stay positive, i would say that economists at least expect the economy to continue growing, but definitely not was the same a growth rate. now for the 1st quarter, for instance, economists are expecting a growth rate of about to 2 percent for the entire year, maybe growth of about 4 percent. who knows what's going to happen in the next couple of months, what we're already seeing and actually hearing from companies that yes, we still dealing with a lot of issue with talking about those

ronald reagan said that he was going to nominate a woman, and he did.a woman, i'm very grateful that he did. sandra day o'connor was a great justice. it's nice for me, my daughters and the future women to look at that court and see themselves. women of color see that in justice sotomayor. but african-american women don't see that. so what joe biden is doing is no different than what ronald reagan did and what politicians do. they look at the composite of our nation, of their voters, their constituency and of that court. this is the most important job that any president of the united states has. they take it very seriously, as does the nation. howard: right. >> i don't think that the media with, i don't think that the media misrepresented this. i think it's out there whether they're criticizing him doing this or applauding him. howard: all right. mollie, you co-authored on the ugliness of the kavanaugh battle, the unsubstantiated allegations of sexual misconduct going back to high school. when we look at the media short list headed by ketanji brown jacks

ronald reagan and his campaign promise before the 1980 election. and his argument back then that his promise was as long overdue. rachel scott on the hill tonight. >> reporter: tonight, as president biden narrows down his pick for a supreme court nominee, some republicans are taking aim at his pledge to appoint the first black woman to the bench. >> the fact that he's willing to make a promise at the outset, that it must be a black woman, i goto say, that's offensive. it's actually an insult to black women. >> reporter: senator roger wicker of mississippi comparing the president's pledge to affirmative action. >> the irony is that the supreme court is at the very same time hearing cases about -- about this sort of affirmative racial discrimination. >> yes. >> and while adding someone who is the beneficiary of this sort of quota. >> reporter: but neither of those senators objected when former president donald trump announced he would pick a woman to succeed ruth bader ginsburg. >> it will be a woman, a very talented, very brilliant woman. we haven't

was it affirmative action when ronald reagan said, you know, italian american antonin scalia, maybe we should do that. we should do a woman, sandra day o'connor. or when trump said, it should be a woman, amy coney barrett. come on, nikki haley. we see you. representation is important. your lived experience matters when you're deciding the kind of issues that come before the supreme court, issues that could change the face of america. but there is more from the fox propaganda network and tucker carlson. you knew there would be. but even for him this is a new low. >> you have to wonder at this point, since we're going by skin color and gender, why joe biden is ignoring the obvious choice. why doesn't biden strike a real blow for equity and nominate bridgette floyd, george floyd's sister. she's not a judge or a lawyer or whatever, but in this state who cares. that's not the point anymore, this law stuff. >> i hope they see this so they can see how ridiculous what they're saying is. okay. so, you can almost hear him chuckling about owning the libs there, right? owning the libs by mocking t

>> i had the benefit of working with brian sosa, my mentor, who worked with ronald reagan when ronald reagan was governor of california. hispanics are conservative, they are business owners, they don't like paying taxes to the government and they like family values. i won't say what democrats have done wrong, but what republicans have done right is the point. i worked in texas and the rio grande valley and there was a group, the hispanic republicans of texas, doing events with don trump junior. and you had the efforts of the cuban community and venezuelan community in florida. so, it is interesting to see that with their efforts, and not being taken for granted, latinos respond. in 2020i did everything to get latinos to not vote for donald trump, and i think it worked. but the important thing is to understand that not everybody is the same. but we want vote, want to work, want to be part of the american situation. i would tell democrats to not take latinos for granted and i would tell republicans to stop bashing latinos, the electorate is up for grabs and whoever is going to pay more

ronald reagan was settling into to first time as president. and et smashing box office records on the way to becoming the country's number one movie. michael jackson cementing himself movie icon with the release of his legendary album thriller and the san francisco 49ers were starting a football dynasty winning the first of their five super bowls. one trend we hoped to leave in the early 1980s was inflation. thanks to joe biden it has made its way back to the future because today, the labor department announced, quote: the consumer price index which measures what consumers paid for goods and services 7% in december from the same month earlier. that was the fastest since 182. this means that we're seeing the highest prices in four decades. inflation is surging under joe biden and it's your wallet that's feeling the pain. since december 2020, the price of beef, pork, chicken and ham are all up more than 10%. while fish and baked goods are also on the rise. and the american people have had enough. >> it's like a soviet store during 1981. >> it's

. >>> do you remember ronald reagan's description of american democracy? shining city on a hill. >> after 200 years, two centuries, she still stands strong and true on the granite ridge. and her glow is held steady no matter what storm. and she's still a beacon, still a magnet for all who must have freedom. >> good evening. i'm fareed zakaria. the light of american democracy shining into the darkest corners of the world. it wasn't just rhetoric. it was real. the cold war ended. the soviet union collapsed. democracy flowered. now, 30 years later, american democracy is in trouble. abraham lincoln warned us this country's destruction will not come from abroad but instead will spring up amongst us. he was right, of course. the danger is here at home. republican versus democrat. american versus american. >> jews will not replace us! >> the ascendance of old fears and ugly prejudice. across the world we see the same divisions. democracy everywhere is under attack. but remember, america has been here before. america has vanquished demagogues before. how do we do

she heard the gunshots and ran over to try to help ronald. a homeless woman was graced by a bullet but declined medical attention. >> why is he roaming the street? did he need dental health services? should he be under the care of a psychiatric physician quite >> reporter: denise forgives the suspect but wants accountability and justice for her son. >> in order to move forward, i had to forgive. i don't want to walk around holding grudges. >> reporter: police say the suspect admitted to being involved in the crime and now he faces homicide charges. kpix5 . >>> oakland police say thursday nights killing was the eighth homicide of the year. >>> we have video from fremont security cameras were there was a car theft and crash. the suspect is now in jail thanks to some good samaritans. police say the man stole a car and return to the neighborhood hours later. witnesses say he drove recklessly and hit several cars and crashed into a tree. bystanders say they held him down until officers arrived. >>> also in fremont, a candlelight vigil to remember

i go back to ronald reagan who came in on a high.d ronald reagan have similarities in the sense that they are both confronting some difficult economic conditions. i think there is sort of regard for them personally as people who have the interests of the country on the whole at heart, even if everyone doesn't agree with their methods of achieving that, it is true that this, the current president, is in a very different media environment than ronald reagan confronted, but i also remember ronald reagan's approval ratings, of course, there was the terrible incident where he was shot in his first term, which, of course, sent the country into as you would expect a sort of a collective concern for his well-being, but his approval ratings were in the 40s in his second year in office, which is something that i think people forget and, yes, his party did take a drubbing at the midterms but his approval ratings recovered because as people saw that he was addressing their core concerns like the economy, then it recovered and, of course, the cou

that didn't stop him from seriously considering becoming ronald reagan's running mate, a notion thatimately did not happen, but would have been the most unusual post-presidential comeback ever. so, what of donald trump's prospects as a potential candidate? among republicans, he holds a huge lead in the polls. no one else comes close. righnow he runs even with or ahead of joe biden. and his position is made stronger by the fact that a large majority of repuicans support his baseless claim that the election was stolen from him. this, in turn, has complicated the position of other potentl candidates. none of th can openly oppose trump for fear of angering the base. >> hill: jeff, a number of influential republicans have some serious doubts about trump and his actions. for instance, he's backing divisive primary republicans. and couldn't that hurt republican prospects of regaining the majori in the house in the fall elections? >> republicans have painful memories of what happened back in 2010, an otherwise great year for republicans. and then again in 2012, when winnable senate seats wer

if ronald reagan had not sent the right message to the browns." research suggest -- sorry? rep. salazar: you got it, olivia. you remember well. olivia: there was a right shift more than latino men. i'm curious, does the gop have a good message or outreach to the latino community, minority women? and how do you think this can approve -- improve? rep. salazar: i'm glad you are giving me this platform because as you know, i'm going to be presenting an immigration reform law that wants to give dignity to the browns in this country. everyone does that, that has been here for more than five years. i'm going to give you some of the details later on, but i think i should say that the gop in this country should give dignity to those people who have been here for some time and have contributed to the american economy and have not committed a crime. the problem with the democratic party is that, or the latinos, they have been waiting for the dems to fulfill their promise. and the problem is that since ronald reagan in 1986, the dems have been promising a lot of stuff to my community and th

where was ronald reagan at this stage in his first term? >> well, in 1982, times were tough. the country is in a major recession. unemployment will go to over 10% at one point. conservatives, many of them are not happy with ronald reagan despite who he was, that he's not going far enough on issues such as reproductive right it's. and many moderates and democrats for sure are upset with his efforts to gut the social safety net and his ramping up of cold war rhetoric. so, in '82, it culminates with midterms that are very good for the democrats and house of representatives which they control. and yet '83 and '84 will look very different. >> and in 1984, he wins a landslide election. i'm not even sure if landslide elections are even possible name, against walter mondale. are things as bad now as they were for biden? for now, none of the groups ma fueled biden's 2020 victory are happy. young people are frustrated that he hasn't followed through on vows to combat climate change and student debt. women are worried that plans to expand family leave, child care and universal pre-k are

in 1980 when jimmy carter ran against ronald reagan, ronald reagan made a promise that jimmy carter made, if i had the chance, i will nominate the first woman to the supreme court and he nominated sandra day o'connor and i want to say, i'm so pleased to be on with dean brown because i'm reading her book right now and it is such an extraordinary story about how different the world was in the '50s and '60s when constance baker motley was coming up and the obstacles that black women faced, even in the civil rights community. it just is a good example of why, you know, there have been 120 supreme court justices, only five women, only three people of color. so the idea that we're now dealing with some sort of quota for black women is really kind of crazy and offensive. >> crazy and offensive can be described in a lot of what we see coming out of washington. so i guess if it fits a lot of moments. dean, one of the women on the short list as mentioned by our correspondent is katangi brown jackson and biden nominated her to the dc circuit. you supported her for that nomination. and we hear often

. >> i had the benefit of working with lionel sosa, my mentor, who worked with ronald reagan when ronald reagan was governor of california. hispanics are conservative, they are small business owners, they don't like paying taxes to the government and they like family values. i won't say what democrats have done wrong, but what republicans have done right is the point. i worked in texas and the rio grande valley and there was a group, the hispanic republicans of texas, doing events with donald trump junior. and you had the efforts of the cuban community and venezuelan community in florida. so, it is interesting to see that with their efforts, and not being taken for granted, latinos i have to tell you i have been working. in 2020 i did everything to make latinos not work for donald trump. the important thing is to understand that not everybody is the same. we want to go, we want to work, we want to be of the american s. >> all parties need to recognize and understand that. let me ask you, you think maybe white voters today that there is a growing divide amongst college-educated latinos ve

mike: a couple of ronald reagan references, how do you respond, david?oser to 1978 as president carter went into the midterm elections and it was after that that you had ted kennedy who decided it was time for him to take a challenge in the primary in the 1980 primary to jimmy carter and so if you're looking at historical analogy, we are far closer to 1978 than we were to 1981. >> all right, little history lesson in here today. david, laura, have a wonderful day. >> thanks, mike. mike: millions under winter weather alerts as large storm rages in the east coast bringing ice and freezing rain. the latest forecast coming up. ♪ ♪ to♪ ert liberty, liberty ♪ only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty, liberty, liberty, liberty ♪ ♪ ♪making your way in the world today♪ ♪takes everything you've got♪ ♪ ♪taking a break from all your worries ♪ ♪sure would help a lot ♪ ♪wouldn't you like to get away? ♪ ♪ ♪ sometimes you want to go ♪ ♪where everybody knows your name ♪ ♪ ♪and they're always glad you came ♪ (jackie) i've made progress with my mental health. ♪ so when i start

a spike that hasn't been seen since 1982 during ronald reagan's first term. and that economists in both parties predicted would be caused by biden's early spending programs. >> i have lived through times of hyperinflation, i have lived through times of mass layoffs and let me tell you, mass l layoffs are way worse. the trauma to families and to communities and to companies is much worse than the genuine problem of inflation. >> reporter: the unemployment rate is moving at a more encouraging direction. just 3.9%, down from 6.3 at the start of biden's tenure. >> this is probably the strongest economy for workers that the united states has had in some time. but biden gets no credit for any of this. >> reporter: columnist jamel buoy. >> without credit for a strong economy and with resistance from republicans and a democratic party that is feeling unenthusiastic, he is in a tough spot. >> reporter: democrats are unenthusiastic because biden has not been able to pass the robust social spending legislation he initially proposed. or voting rights legislation. tough t

don't worry about emotionally available, just like ronald to be dead. what i dated bowers, that's what they're thinking. and the number of people shot by police is truly horrifying. 45 percent of police shooting victims did not die. i'm not saying that shocking, because please to do a better job killing when they shoot at someone. i'd rather they do a worst job killing. i'm saying it's shocking because it means we're not counting almost half of the times. cobs tried to murder someone. to that percentage were true for the entire nation. and you take the number of people who were murdered by police and say 2020, which was 1021. and then you add the 45 percent who just happened to not die. that would mean $1850.00 americans were either killed by police or attempted to be killed by police in a single year. that's pure insanity. that's crazy or the next time in college i tried to convince a girl my f. b. i had stood for federal bron specter it of course stood for federal buff a inspector. i've got my eyes on you all. you can a trim that actually does tell me

well, simultaneously ronald reagan was in geneva. having his historic meeting with mikhail gorbachev. and i was then on the hill working for pete wilson. and someone on the staff who work with it it's department. um, i be forever grateful. contact paul, you know while washington works pulled some strings. and got a journalist bumped. oh from this air reconnaissance flight eight of the storm. and i said you but you're going to be in mississippi and you know eight hours. they flew out of a key swore. i think it's keith's work air force base biloxi keesler keesler, okay. anyway but but it didn't end there so i got there. you saw in your life away you sign a document because i've been through training. so i was a nephite they they strapped you into plane. they converted c-130s. and the remarkable thing is you are literally strapped in. crosswise and the side of the plane is glass. they've been modified so you could sit there and literally watch watch the storm. you know. and and they make four passes. you're in the storm eight hours. in

he lost to ronald reagan. even the first president bush, who was kind of pushed a little by pat buchanan, that hurt him in his reelection, and he lost to bill clinton. and the contrast is, every president who has had a united party has won reelection, except one. and that's donald trump. >> sreenivasan: wow. so, is there anything that joe biden can do, or what does he do to improve his prospects? >> well, the first thing that would be helpful is if covid finally got under control, because it's making thentire country just basically unhappy and frustrated and annoyed, and that's never good for an incumbent. beyond that, i think he has to be, and to remind his party and the country about what has been accomplished. instead of havg democrats complain about what hasn't been done, on voting rights or on build back better, he's got to say, look, we have this big infrastructure bill. we had an american rescue plan. we've got unemployment way down. and go around the country, to purple and even red stat, saying, i know
