and ronald reagan just said no. and what this meant was after the wreck of a summit, gorbachev, who already had these reforms underway, vastly accelerated reforms and went vastly accelerated the reforms at the end of 1986, in the beginning of seven, everything fell apart in the soviet union. he could not hold it together and commercial madoff, who was the chief of staff of the whole soviet armed forces, the most decorated man in soviet history, a five star marshal. i later said, and he had negotiated the all night session with us at the halfway house from 8:00 at night till 620 the next morning on that saturday night. akerman later, you know, you guys didn't destroy the soviet union. we did with that. accelerated reforms. so i think sdi besides the wonderful program, defense program that's very needed today that we'll hear about from these experts, i think it really helped break up the soviet union. so those are my two magical moments. there were lots, many. but i was so honored and really so it was such a gift to b

so speaking of people ronald reagan worked with, you know, ronald reagan office. he knows he wants to bring an end to the cold. he know he knows what he he's got such mission. the assassination attempt. and as he's recovering in the white house writes a letter to brush off that pretty much is ignored. and then russia dies. and then reagan tries it with the next soviet leader and he dies and then tries it again and dies. so finally, you know, gorbachev takes office. what do you think made gorbachev than his predecessors that allowed to be opened? and obviously, if you know, when you read the book and if you know a lot about the different summits, you see it wasn't easy. it still took a lot of negotiate. but he obviously was open to that. what do you think made him different? yeah, so and again, i to to clarify, i don't speak i didn't do research in the russian archives. and so certainly spent a lot of time trying to read and study and understand gorbachev, you know, based on a lot of time translated documents and interview and other people who worked for them. but

my handwriting to this day is influenced by ronald searle's style of handwriting.t to evoke a sense of his style? well, there are two things, really. one is his observation of character, and his expression of character. but the other is his line. you know, he had a great... ..he had a range of different kinds of line, but he had a great facility to allow the pen marks to be themselves. you think about the characterisation that ronald searle comes up with in those drawings, those kind of quite spindly characters. they're sort of etiolated figures. is there a link, do you think, in those characters, between those characters and some of the characters that you create in yourfilm? i think the important thing about searle being an inspiration, or, if you like, an influence on me, it's not so much about specific characters. it's about a way of looking at the world. i mean, if you look at my characters in my films, and indeed plays... ..it�*s never — i never allow it to be described as naturalism, it's realism, it gets to the essence of what's real. i mean, you have to be

in fact, my handwriting to this day is influenced by ronald searle�*s style of handwriting.ll, there are two things, really — one is his observation of character and his expression of character but the other is his line. you know, he had a great — he had a range of different kinds of line, but he had a great facility to allow the pen marks to be themselves. you think about the characterisation that ronald searle comes up with in those drawings, those kind of quite spindly characters, they're sort of etiolated figures. is there a link, do you think, in those characters, between those characters and some of the characters that you create in yourfilm? i think the important thing about searle being an inspiration — or, if you like, an influence on me — it's not so much about specific characters, it's about a way of looking at the world. i mean, if you look at my characters in my films, and, indeed, plays, it's never — i never allow it to be described as naturalism, it's realism. it gets to the essence of what's real. i mean, you have to believe in it being absolutely real when y

there's a heightening, which is a natural thing for an artist like ronald searle to do.correlation between this ronald searle character or that character in one of my films. it's about a way of looking at life, really. the next big turning point, the next big influence, drawing, life drawing. just tell us about that class. well, here's the thing. i went to rada, i acted fora bit, including in a couple of films. i then went to camberwell art school on the foundation course for a year. i then went to a year in the theatre design department of the central school of arts and crafts, and i went to the london film school, all within four years. for me, what was... ..i mean, of those various kinds of study, the only year i spent, the only thing i did, which wasn't directly related to theatre or film, was the foundation course at camberwell. but it was there that i had a really seminal experience as an artist. we were all sitting around... ..and had a nude model, and everybody was quietly drawing away, and i looked around the room, and i thought, what is happening in this room i

donald trump was not a perfect president but he was the most perfect president we had since ronald reagan. bottom line, and of conversation. one more thing, the woman in wyoming, can we expel her from the country because she is as stupid as a box of rocks. host: brenda is in indiana, benson vania, democrat. -- pennsylvania, democrat, good money. caller: i want to talk about the possible indictment on january 6 and i would like to point out what happened on january 6 2021 could have very easily happened january 2017. trump supporters want to conveniently forget the rally after rally in 2016 donald trump condemned the electoral college, he condemned it, rally after rally. he said it was rigged, it was unfair, it needed to be done away with, it should be one person and one vote. "washington journal" had at least one call in show on the electoral college. every trump supporters said it should be done away with. days before the 2016 election, donald trump stepped up to the microphone and he said if crooked hillary clinton gets in the white house by the rigged, unfair, electoral college system

it's really an honor to be at the ronald reagan library. and as i was coming here, i started to think a little bit about president reagan and about some of the issues that we're facing now. and, of course, you know, president reagan had a great sense of humor. and i thought about a story that there was a debate between three of our founding fathers, dr. benjamin rush, thomas jefferson and ben franklin. and the debate was about what was the world's oldest profession. and dr. rush said as a physician, he said, the world's oldest professions, the doctor, because eve was cut out of adam's rib. so it has to be the physician. thomas jefferson, who, you know, design monticello said no. the world's oldest profession is the architect act after all. was the architect who brought order out of all the chaos in the universe. and ben franklin said, no, you're both wrong. the world's oldest profession is the politician. who do you think created the chaos in the first place? and president reagan understood this. his famous quote that the most terrifying wo

the governor's career in public serving began when president ronald reagan appointed him as the youngestrney in the nation for the western district of arkansas. in 1996, he won the first three consecutive terms in the u.s. house of representatives. during his third term in congress, president george w. bush appointed governor hutchinson to serve as an administrator of the drug enforcement administration and later as the nations first under secretary of homeland protection. governor hutchinson brings a wealth of expanse and knowledge, establishing him as a national resource in areas of trade, energy and national security. he has been invited to the white house numerous times to participate in discussions regarding health care, indicate, and education issues. jerry tried, 2020 three, marked the end of his second term as the former chairman of the national governors association, cochairman of the council of governors and chairman of the interstate compact commission. and the states energy board. and the southern regional education board. governor hutchinson grew up on a small farm, and is a

and i think that was when ronald reagan was the actors guild in president. i mean, yeah, i think he's back to me to have looked at them. yeah. because he wants to run it. that's, you know, at other aspirations, but yes. can you believe that ronald reagan was, wasn't in a sag, uh, a union back then. so lots of things have changed and that's really what a lot of the writers and especially now the actors are saying is that we have streaming platforms. we didn't use have streaming platforms decades ago. so a lot of the rules and regulations and policies in terms of how they got paid, were mainly for networks and build studios. there really is nothing out there. now this charter reads the territory for the streaming platforms. and mainly a lot of them are complaining that, you know, when you have a hit show on television, on a television network or you have a film, it's out of the box offices, you know exactly how much money that they owe me. likewise for television, you know, how many viewers you have? well, when it comes to streaming, it's been very hard, accor

do not vote for ronald kennedy junior. we have two get to the route to get our democracy back where voters are voting for the candidates. some gerrymandered states voting for ronald. i am against war but let's get to the root and get back. then we will deal with the war problem. host: kathleen expressed some concern about joe biden's age. there is also some concern and capitol hill about center minor the mitch mcconnell. his health scare puts focus on the shadow race to replace him. the health scare has republicans wondering whether the 81-year-old will stay in his job

his name was ronald reagan. to charlton houston. reagan was serving his second stint of as president of the screen actors guild, and he had helped spearhead a strike with the writers guild of america against seven major film studios. that is correct. two decades before he ushered in the modern era of conservatism, rooted in the idea of small government and slashing the social safety net and diminishing the power of organized labor, two decades before that, ronald reagan led the actor union, actor's union, through bitter negotiations, once that ultimately secured investment dollars for a new union health insurance plan, a pension plan, and residuals for films produced after 1960. that was ronald reagan's handiwork. and today, residuals are once again at the core of the demands of the actor's union. they are asking to be compensated for their work appearing on streaming services, and they're also demanding safeguards from artificial intelligence, as well as better composition and better working conditions and bett

if ronald reagan was alive today, i would not be in this race. i would be helping him lead a national reviver as he did -- revival as he did in 1980. but he is not and now is our moment to do for this country what he did in 1980 when he led us out of our last national identity crisis. we are in one today. patriotism, hard work, family, they have disappeared and we can revive them again and i think tomorrow is a celebration of what is possible when a state like iowa without fear leads the way and speaks the truth. mr. kauffmann: great. give me a scenario of 20 years from now in our interaction with china under terrible leadership and then give me a vision in 20 years in our relationship with them under good conservative leadership. mr. ramaswamy: there is some debate even within our own party on how to deal with this. i will speak on eight years of leaving this country. if you put me there, if i leave office eight years later, let me tell you what i would hope we did. the finish line, january 2030 3, 1 thing i would tell you we are no longer depen

ronald reagan was governor. i knew growing up with a certainty to the core of my soul, i could do and be whatever i wanted to be. so far, i have had a chance to do that, but not everybody does. i hire young lawyers, they work for me at my law firm. they will have $200,000 in debt. they start life with bills around her neck. that is not what it is supposed to be. i think we can come back. what made america great is not completely dead. i think there is a beating heart there, i think we can do it but it is not for sure and it is going to be hard work. what happened between your childhood, ronald reagan's governorship and today in your view? >> what i talk about in the fall and rise of america, i was there at the pinnacle of american power, both in time and place. the time and place was a place called hopper up a teeny outside of saudi arabia at the end of the gulf war. i was a lieutenant. i was assigned there at the headquarters that destroyed be republican guard. i mean at 100 hours, we did a job that hannibal --

ronald reagan said to them at that time, how do you make vaccines safe? they are unavoidably unsafe which is true of most medicines. i am not anti-vaccine. we need to be honest. that is all i ever argued. lauren: 1 opera to f kennedy's message at the time was covid vaccines that were out there were medically unsafe, hadn't been tested enough, rushed on the markets, something he found in unison with many republicans on that committee asking questions today. i thought to get a politician about this, would get a genuine doctor and a very good one. st. joseph's art institute for auto immune diseases, a very calming presence not only before through covid and after covid. good to have you. part of what is coming now in the vaccine wave is we didn't need to get vaccinated. other issues came up with, didn't need to be locked down. may have been a separate day but robert f kennedy junior was among those who questioned the efficacy of these vaccines and their threat to the public. what do you think of that? >> the first thing is vaccines are not a threat to the pub

. >> no, but the key thing is getting them right and getting them humming again and ronald reagan ands and deregulation and low and behold, good things happen. it's a long ways away and get that past 2024 and get that back from being a little younger and ronald reagan did it in the 1980s and this worked. may take a year or two and 1980 big deal and 1924 hugely important election. going the reagan way or social way. stuart: there are things with the 1970s and you and i remember them very, very well. extreme inflation and kind of out of his depth and the economy that wasn't performs and income with ronald reagan and i guess you're hoping for something similar today in 2024 and who's the conservative and more with the republicans. >> we'll get a good feel for it next month when there's the first debate and debate following and so far the candidate haves put forth a reagan escambia kind of flat form like in 1980 and forward looking and great to criticize what's been done and what will you do in the future and they've been concerned about foreign policy in the early 1980s and u.s. weakness

ronald was raised by his father's associates, who spoke of him as a resolute and fearless hero of theon struggle against belgian domination, people who became a symbol of free and independent women. he believed that we should have independence and the opportunity to speak on an equal footing, he defended the rights of all, blacks who were treated badly, who were beaten, he was for the honor of a black man due to the fact that africa congo developed further along with belgium the usa all countries, but in equality. do you think he wanted too much? in these black-and-white photographs, what the life of the congolese looked like during the 80-year rule of the belgians, humiliation and slave labor of the recalcitrant were awaited by ruthless reprisals. no congolese will ever forget that independence conquered by us in the struggle in the struggle, everyday stubborn difficult in the struggle, where we were not stopped, neither deprivation nor suffering, nor a huge sacrifice, nor the blood shed by our peoples, this struggle was accompanied by tears, fire and blood. we are deeply proud of ou

raine, it is obvious that ronald reagan was remembered for what he knew how to taking responsibility for himself and making decisions, and it was his determination, together with his obvious uh-uh, diplomatic talents , that made it possible to actually bring the soviet union to its objective conclusion. uh, if uh, no, this is not about criticism of president biden, but if so, well , if uh, if uh, at the head of uh, the western countries , the leading western countries, there were people like reagan, that's me seems to be the situation would be resolved much, much faster, and i repeat once again in favor of these countries. it seems that some western politicians are simply denying themselves the satisfaction of receiving profits at the same time, dividends in all parameters, from the fact that russia will collapse, well, that's what they say their problems really look at volodymyr today in the dutch gas and ah-ah such a significant event is taking place there the center for the study of russian crimes crimes of russian aggression in ukraine is opening last week when i am with several

that was ronald reagan's handiwork.residuals are once again at the core of the demands of the actors union. they're asking to be compensated for their work appearing on streaming services and also demanding safe guards from artificial intelligence as well as better compensation and better working conditions and better benefits. right now production has already shutdown on abbott elementary and yellow jackets and stranger things because of the writers strike. and we're going to find out in a few hours if even more shows have to stop production and whether this might be the summer of strikes. that's our show for tonight. we'll see you tomorrow. "way too early" with jonathan lemire is coming up next. >>> we will not waver. we will not waver. i mean that. our commitment to ukraine will not weaken. we will stand for liberty and freedom today, tomorrow, and for as long as it takes. >> president biden closing out the nato summit with an impassioned speech in support of ukraine. we'll have his remarks and preview the final leg

i can make a case that ronald reagan would not have gotten the nomination in 1980 without direct mail, because when john connally and george h.w. bush were getting the thousand contributions, he was getting hundreds of thousands of ten, 15, $25 contributions funded campaign made all the difference. mr. viguerie what makes an effective direct mail letter? talk about one that you've written. well direct mail is used to be, until recently, the second largest form of advertising in the country. television number one now is number three, because the internet, internet's number one, television number two. direct mail is number three. and i recognize that early on. and i recognize that it's not a when i write a letter that goes to a million people, i don't write it to a million people. i write it to one person. had one person in mind, i'm writing that letter and i have a conversation. well, for most of my political life it was my parents, my mother, my dad. i would have them met. they didn't give every time, but they were occasion a gift. so you don't want to write to somebody that gives it'

the election of ronald reagan in 1980.ms - which now confront us. and, after all, why shouldn't we believe that? we are americans. applause. god bless you, and thank you. at which there was a big pushback against what the �*70s had been doing, particularly in the expansion of — of women's rights. so, �*70s quite expansionist. you could have your own credit card. chuckles. stuff like that. and then, you get this pushback, and that was when they started activating the evangelical religious right as a political force. significant also is the fact that i had studied 17th century american puritanism as a graduate student in the early �*60s, and i get to say bad things about those people because they are my ancestors. so, the family... literally. literally, yes, literally, they were puritan new englanders. but it's interesting that you witness what's happening in germany, ronald reagan is elected, so you start imagining the possibilities of a future totalitarian american regime but then, you reach back. well, these regimes are n

that was ronald reagan's message, that was donald trump's message in his first election. the finkelstein birnbaum duo to hungarian politician viktor orban in 1998. then in opposition, orban and his party won the 2010 election and have stayed in power ever since, using the techniques they taught him. it is not just it is notjust a way of simplifying your own message, but identifying an enemy, one that the public is told they ought to fear. first a suitable candidate needs to be found, one that cannot fight back. george birnbaum once said that viktor orban and benjamin netanyahu were their best pupils. he won in 2010 with a landslide, then he faced a problem, he had annihilated the opposition. you helped him find a new opponent, george soros. tell me about that. i have a problem with any leader in any country staying in powerfor too long. the other thing that i have come to learn over all of these years of working around the world is... i also have a real problem with outside money influencing elections. where there are it is a foreign national going into another country or

have something forward-looking like ronald reagan did in 1980 #.idate, came with a lot of fresh ideas and won. jackie: yeah. no, that's a great point. looking forward saying here's where we are, here's how i'm going to pick it -- fix it, whoever that person is. great to see you, steve. >> great to see you, jackie, thank you. jackie: the biden administration calling tech executives to the white house to address artificial intelligence, and coming up we have congressman dan bishop from house judiciary on democrats under fire for trying to censor 2024 presidential candidate rfk jr. during a censorship hearing. stay with us. ♪ the numbers, we see the people. when i first started the company i was excited to empower people of all abilities. you've made something that people find invaluable. it fuels you to keep making a better impact with your business. i don't have to think about the pathway to the ocean, i just know i'm going to be able to surf again. that's why we're here... to help make it happen. (man) what if my type 2 diabetes takes over? (woman)

reagan, it is obvious that ronald reagan was remembered for the fact that he knew how to take responsibility make decisions, and it was his determination , along with his obvious diplomatic talents, that made it possible to bring down soviet union to its objective end it would have collapsed anyway, but reagan's policy helped him without a doubt, that's why i think that uh , if uh, no, no, this is not about criticism of president biden, but if so, well if there were people like reagan at the head of the western countries of the leading western countries, it seems to me that the situation would be resolved much, much faster, and i repeat once again in favor of these countries. it seems that some western politicians simply deny themselves the pleasure of making profits at the same time, the dividends in all parameters are due to the fact that russia will collapse, well, this is already, as they say, their problems, really look at volodymyr today in the dutch gas and ah , such a significant event is happening there a center for the study of russian crimes and crimes of russian aggression in ukr

it was ronald reagan, pete for the win. it was morning in america.could have done anything good. which u.s. city was ice cream capital of the world in 1994, lamar's iowa, st. louis mis missouri, helena montana or cincinnati ohio? >> i am not in my wheelhouse. pete: i'm to go with the mars iowa based on the dairy queen, iowa. pete: i was good to go with cincinnati but i feel like the mars. it's a random one, helena and cincinnati are known with other things. kayleigh: i'm to go with helena montana. it was the mars iowa. i'm not getting a powerball ticket. i guess you weren't going to go with cincinnati. the largest scoop of ice cream created in wisconsin wait how much according to the guinness book of world records, was it 157 pounds, 789 pounds, 1459 or 3000. >> those are random numbers. kayleigh: it's always the middle one. pete: i'm to go with 1000. will: i'm going with 3000. this is my bid to catch you. kayleigh: based on your track record i'm sticking with pete on this one. the scoop of strawberry ice cream was 3010 pounds. look at that. last que

when ronald reagan was president that's what you need a republican governor from a blue state who willgton, what did he do he fix social security and immigration to problems our economy needs fixed and border security that we don't have right now. part of the immigration problem, they don't have border security you cannot fix the immigration system. if you don't have a border. he built 47 miles and four ye years. they are over ever, biden made it worse. speaking of joe biden and data we skip together that was a big headline, is joe biden mentally physically fit to be president. >> he is past the sale by date. we can have an 80-year-old president. i heard nikki haley say mental cognitive test, you don't need one, just watch. did you watch them come down the stairs at air force one, we both did, he is too old nobody beats father time and by the way if the nominees and one of the reasons i'm running if it's donald trump in joe biden the combined age will be 160. i think we could do better. cheryl: there is a big gop primary, obviously the polling at this point we know what the polling is

ronald resident was president of the sag union back then.hat is really what the actors and the writers are saying is that we have streaming platforms, we didn't have streaming platforms decades ago. so a lot of the rules and regulations and policies and in terms of how they got paid were mainly for networks and film studios. there's really nothing out there now chartering the territory for the streaming platforms. a lot of them are complaining that when you have a hit show on television, on a television network, or you have a film that is out, you know what the box office is. you know exactly how much money that phil makes. likewise would -- that film makes. likewise with television, you know how many viewers it has. but with streaming, it has been impossible to nail down the streaming platforms on exactly how many subscribers you have and how many are watching our program and how many times. that is a key issue. because you have a show where there a lot of people watching, more than anybody else, and they believe they should be paid accordi

i think he would harbor different attitudes later on in his relationship with ronald reagan. but that's that's how it began in anyway. in 1965, the party was desperate for change and. so ford, good old jerry, you know, the don and sergeant, they get along, go along. guy. what you see is what you get surprised everyone by taking on the current republic. minority leader charlie halleck and beating him, beating him with the help of donald rumsfeld, congressman from illinois. and bob dole, congressman from kansas. dole delivered the four votes that provided the margin of victory. as i say, 11 years later, ford repaid the debt with compound interest when he put forward on the ticket in 1976 and ford really came to national prominence then with the evan jerry show. what was his relationship up with everett dirksen? yeah, everett dirksen was great showman. and as a young boy, he'd met william jennings bryan and they never got over it. i mean, he was william jennings bryan reincarnated. you know, he'd get up and give these great full throated speeches extolling the virtues of the bar
