and this is ronald in georgia, republican line. good morning, ronald. caller: good morning. how are you doing? host: good. caller: i just want to know, the beginning of your segment this morning, right before i called, that lady that you had on, rebecca, the republican, rebecca, she said she was a teacher. but laken riley was a student. and yet they blocked everything that policy that they had going on. they tried to block it. thank god there were enough republicans to society for it. on the first part of that segment you had there, you was talking about y'all had trump up there. wanting to have that -- that block where that girl he was with, y'all shouldn't put stuff like that up there. he's our future president. and i really don't have much faith in the way y'all talk about it. host: so ronald, you mentioned the laken riley act. this is nbc news, it says that the house passes laken riley act to amp up border enforcement and put pressure on democrats. the bill, name forward nursing school student who was murdered by a man in the country illegally, passed the house last year

he lost to ronald reagan in 1980. a rest not unlike the curret election process we watched an extraordinary amount of the inflation of the country and gas lines at one point during the carter administration. i remember as a small child sitting in the backseat lined up for gas early in the morning because of that situation. it was a malaise period by his own admission in the united states. it was a tough time in many ways. however, jimmy carter made the most of his post-presidency part of his life. he was a post president for 45 years. and he spent time building homes for habitat for humanity, traveling all around the globe to marry aerate poverty and child disease. so he was willing to run that himself over the years for the good. he will be remembered for all of these things in the coming days. >> sandra: right now this is the arrival ceremony taking place and will take place at joint base andrews and rall to the u.s. capital. we know that will happen on and the motorcade joint base andrews 30 minutes from now as we

host: take us back to the 1980 election and ronald reagan comes in. the senate flips to republicans. was that not a realignment at the time? guest: when reagan was elected, democrats had, depending on the poll, a 20 to 25 point lead in partisan identification. they had run the house since 1954. they had run the senate since 1954. moreover, it was not close. republicans never got more than 192 seats during that period, more than anyone senate seats. i remember 1980. no one saw it coming. it was a complete change. what reagan did was pull the republicans from a 25 point gap to a five point gap. it made it possible for them to be competitive. they weren't on top. they were still looking up. this is why romney could win 95% of the republican vote and lose to obama. there was 6% more democrats. they were always fighting uphill. just a smaller hill than before reagan. host: a recent piece published on christmas day day. i realignment if trump can keep it. a new political era. explain that part, if trump can keep it. guest: you have to have a successful term

and he believed, the soviet union was an evil empire to use ronald reagan's term, and that we were ina general national, multi-generational conflict. and he he viewed every foreign policy issue through that prism, that cold war prism. and so he was constantly you can see in the archives he's telling carter, you know, to be tougher, do something militaristic, say something nasty about the russians, use use some, send a signal by using a little force. and in one of these memos, you can see in the margins, carter scribbles, oh, use force like mayaguez, a reference to henry kissinger and president ford's disastrous use of force in where that led to unnecessary deaths of of hostages that had been taken aboard a ship and, you know, carter repeated what was astonishing to me was that carter repeatedly turned down and reject biggs advice, particularly during the first three years. he just, you know, he had a different attitude about the cold war and about the third world in particular. he didn't think that the soviets were behind every little revolution in the third world. and he took brzezin

ronald reagan knew that frustration. he channeled it in his 1964 speech in which he launched his career. "a time for choosing." he said the issue of the day was to believe in our capacity for self-governance or abandon the american revolution and confess that an intellectual elite in a far distant capital can plan our lives better for us then we can plan ourselves. governor kristi noem, i think you have been channeling that sentiment. today the republican party is confronted with fundamental questions as it tries to move on from the recent past and articulate a vision for the future. what do we stand for? what are the republican philosophies we can all agree on? if there's still room for a reagan-esque optimism in today's gop? since may we have heard from paul ryan, mike pence, mike pompeo, chris christie, nikki haley, peggy noonan, and, recently, senator tom cotton. tonight, governor noem will add her perspective. let me know -- make one last point. despite the talk of legacies and monuments, this speaker series is not

ronald reagan, although the editors of the national review, ronald reagan oh some of his success to dinner -- to jimmy carter who deregulated industries. carter was not around to see the benefits because he lost the election. so, the word i approached carter to answer your question. i have been on the show and my answers can kind of go in a mazelike direction. to answer your question i approached this as what was consequential and endures with the passive -- with the passage of time and we can get some perspective and see how policies and programs turned out. did they meet the goals they were designed to meet? carter does have some relatively significant achievements in his presidency, i mentioned to deregulation and other things. on the issue of race he was progressive and in his inaugural address as the governor of georgia in early 1971 so before he was president and this is a touching issue in the south as a -- as a southern democrat, "the time for racial segregation is over." he appointed more latinos, african-american and latinos into the judiciary. and that is something that endures

we've had 2018, george hwd bush. 2004, ronald reagan.is striking that you look at all the details... the air force base just as it arrives here at the u.s. capital right outside the steps there will be another 21-gun salute has they arrived there and the casket is moved with its pallbearers that include the carter grandchildren. walking with the casket into the capitol rotunda. >> his grandchildren would serve as honorary pallbearers. he is set to lie in state there. let's watch this and listen and together. >> you think about those that will be present today. his beautiful family there to remember him. his grandchildren as we just mentioned, honorary pallbearers. they will be participating in the ceremony. a special honour guard will be present consisting of... the chief of staff of the army, the chiefs of the marines, naval, staff of the air force, space operations, command of the coast guard. all will be there to honour the late president jimmy carter, our 39th president. >> it was something i said last hour that part of his pushing b

one of the things you see with ronald - things you see with ronald trump when he talks about tech itugh the lens of is this service nice to me. i think it is a mistake to interpret ideology when it may be ego. when he spoke about google during the campaign he was asked about breaking up google and immediately the way that he talked about it was the way that he showed up in google search results, when he talks about tiktok he talks about his campaign content performing well on tiktok. and now that company executives know this when they go to meet with him they show him this data and show him this is how well your content performs on our service. that is really where it starts with donald trump. this is a person whose first term they sued to block the acquisition, the merger of at&t time warner because the company owns cnn and trump did not like the cnn coverage. this is important lens for understanding how we approach as regulation. find understanding how we approach as regulation.— as regulation. and on the oli as regulation. and on the policy front. _ as regulation. and on the policy

they focused on the inauguration day for ronald reagan and the headline they was ronald reagan in inaugurated advises. not to put two and two together and you saw it happen. i mean, it really was an extraordinary i wish i could display the front page of the new york times that day. but it was reagan is inaugurated and hostages released. you knew could not possibly have have negotiated the release as president because he'd only been on the podium for 3 minutes in full of us. and yet the iranian wouldn't have released the hostages without having had some contact with the administration. so it seemed a really just sort of obvious from a logical point of view, yet it was entirely obscured. i really get into it until april of 1991, i wasn't the first by any means. what tipped me off was it was a very memorable al op ed piece in the new york times by gary sick. it was titled the election of the decade and gary had been on jimmy carter's national security council. he was the point man for. so he was directly involved it on a regular basis. but was not until many years later that he began to put it a

i to quote in a much less passage from ronald reagan's farewell address. he said that ours was the first revolution in the history mankind that truly reversed the course of government. it with three little words. we the people. we the people tell the government what to do. it doesn't tell. we the people are the driver. the government is the car. and we decide where it should go. and what route and how fast. reagan's words lack the inspiration of canada's, but it asks the government to serve people was a way that kennedy of could have called for inspiration, but avoided the danger that others use similar ideas. to to create support our government not for the people. yes there is a way. the way to talk about what we as a community, as all americans can do together. baraka obama famously said that he believed in the view that says in america, in a speech in kansas, he said, we are greater together whenever want engages and fair play and everybody gets a fair shot. everybody does their fair share. obama called people to work hard, but to government to do for t

ironically enough, most people think seem to think that ronald reagan was the guy, the president, to, with volcker's help, beat inflation. but it really started under carter. well, thank you for those thoughtful answers. and i would like to remind everyone that you can purchase kai bird book at a couple of books, the signed bookplate and thank you again both the kind of joe for this wonderful evening and this wonderful program. it'll be available, i believe, on the us capitol facebook page and. thank you so much. during his time in office, president jimmy carter and his family attended the first baptist church of washington, d.c. they joined in january of 1977, and president carter attended services there. more than 70 times during his presidency. yes, well, the carters obviously wanted to find a place to go to church. and there are a number of baptist churches in washington. first baptist church is actually the closest to the white house. we're seven blocks north of the front door of the white house. and so they they decided to come here. and we were so grateful and blessed that they

i, ronald reagan, do solemnly swear. that i will faithfully execute the office of president of the united states and i will faithfully execute the office of president of the united states. and will, to the best of my ability and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend. preserve, protect and defend. but consider tution of the united states, the constitution of the united states. so help you god. so help me god. i congratulate you, sir. on. that. since the president of the united states. thank you. thank you. senator hatfield, mr. chief justice. mr. president, vice president bush. vice president mondale. senator baker. speaker o'neill. reverend moomaw. and my fellow citizens, to a few of us here today. this is a solemn and most momentous occasion. and yet in the history of our nation, it is a commonplace occurrence. the orderly transfer of authority, as called for in the constitution, routinely takes place as it has for almost two centuries, and few of us stop to think how unique we really are in the e

bush most recently in 2018 ronald reagan 2004. this is his stop again at the u.s.nnsylvania avenue as he see the carter family they are gathered. this is right on the path on the way to the white house where the inauguration parade would lead. on his inauguration day in 1977, jimmy carter surprised the crowds because he jumped out of the car and walked with rosalynn almost the entire way. that started the tradition of presidents jumping out of the vehicle and doing at least some portion of pennsylvania avenue on the way to the white house walking with the crowd. he wanted again to be that message with that people. his walk was a lot longer than we've seen in recent inauguration is. he becomes the 13th president to lighten state inside the capitol rotunda and he will be, the casket we'll be put on this kind of flock that is basically a pedestal for the casket that bore abraham lincoln after his assassination in 1865. so think about the tradition, the honor, and what we are looking at here as far as a country saying goodbye to one of it's leaders. >> absolutely. and

ronald reagan spoke of a shining city on a hill. america need not to be perfect for it to be exceptional. i've had people working for me around the world in all those countries. i've had people working for me that didn't have the right to vote, didn't have the right to free speech and have the right to assemble. i learned as a young person how exceptional our country is and the opportunities that we provide in our constitution. it provides the foundation for never ending work of achieving the historic and aspiration national vision presented by our founding fathers. but right now, under joe biden is creeping towards world war three. we're in a cold war with china. we're in a proxy war with russia. we're in a proxy war with iran. to defeat those adversaries, we must have a leader who understands the power of free societies and free markets. ronald reagan taught us how to win cold wars. it starts with having the strongest economy. i remember visiting parts of eastern europe just before and after the fall of the berlin wall, back in th

i'm sure ronald reagan would have said the same thing about nancy. think lyndon johnson would have said the same thing about lady bird. i know george w. bush feels very strongly about how important laura has been. and george h.w. how born barbara was. this is not unique by any means, but it is great in the context of america being so committed to having great family relationships to see it demonstrated so powerfully by the president and the first lady. host: we are talking about the late jimmy carter. his state funeral continues today. the longest living president dying at age 100 on december 29. late last month. gregory in louisville, kentucky, your memories of jimmy carter. caller: yes. good afternoon, greta. mr. boston. i just want to say that he's absent from the body, present with the lord. and i feel like he's a fellow brother in the lord. i think there hadn't been a born again president probably since truman. the previous presidents i think should take a note of this -- this very nice send off that you are doing here on c-span. and definitely

. >> in 1981 when they went back, he got the hostages, ronald reagan let them go to germany and get the 52 hostages. >> norah: after reagan is inaugurated. >> then they were depressed. anwar sadat was assassinated and they were moping until that moment. jimmy carter loved anwar sadat of egypt, not just for camp david but they became friends. he realized anwar sadat gave his life for camp david. "i can give my life for peace." the carter center built where sherman witnessed the burning of atlanta. i just told you carter wouldn't sing the song at the naval academy about the burning of atlanta. it took off. it does election monitoring. combating anything from guinea worm, river blindness, on and on. they called it parachuting for peace. carter would go in and visit people around the world, unsavory leaders. they went with president carter tahiti and watched him how he interacted with how haiti can build a government and i was with him to see yasser arafat and gaza city at one point and we might hear from terry adams who knows all of this because he was the lawyer for president carter deali

the handwritten line there, that's ronald reagan's handwriting on it.he's the one who inserted that line. and then if you go to the next page page, well, our technology there, that's the page since the exodus from egypt. that's all written by reagan. i've traced in my book reagan at west minster. what my written with my dear friend john jones. i've traced almost every paragraph in this speech. reagan wrote personally, almost 15% of the speech and he edited it often quite heavily over 45% of the speech. reagan was not a great actor maybe old hopalong is not a bad way to describe him in western eyes. but he was a very sophisticated writer and editor. i want to say something about. the importance of academic objectivity at this point. the ideal of it. when i first started writing about reagan more than years ago, the press told me that he was been a bad actor, that he didn't know much, he was a mouthpiece. he was a threat to the world. and he was this radical anti-god, conservative and i studied reagan and i studied reagan. my personal personally, a lifelo

hire than ronald reagan, higher than barack obama, you name it.aged and tumultuous time in u.s. history, after richard nixon, the first appointed president of gerald ford, just after the fall of seguin with the wounds of vietnam raw, the beginning of energy shocks, of gas lines unprecedented in american history, run away inflation. i got my first mortgage in 1980. interest rate was something like 16%. it was really just inflation was catastrophic. carter in the teeth of those things did many progressive and far-sided measures as norm mentioned. i say especially in the environment in national parks, in deregulation for better and worse. he created the craft beer industry by deregulating brewing. he created modern airlines by deregulated airline work. he was a fiscally conservative person. so he did a lot. i would return to what norm said about the panama canal treaty as being a phenomenal achievement. he got 68 votes. in the senate to ratify a controversial treaty. you have to think back to today's senate to imagine how difficult that is. included

"ronald reagan and the return of the blue-collar conservativism." henry olsen with that book in 2017. guest: available on amazon. host: ted in new hampshire, republican. caller: good morning. my thing on the way these presidents get elected, especially this past one when trump and kamala harris were running is all the bickering and all this attack ads on tv -- these attack ads on tv. these people are setting examples for our children. they jam mailboxes with all kinds of junk mail. every five seconds on tv they bash. what are the voter and people supposed to be expect from these people who want to run the country when they have this kind of ad? you talk about in the world all the hatred. you are seeing it right on tv and they can stop this and work together and really focus on the policies, this country would be far better off. he's going to be awful angry at you and not pay attention. you may see that at the polls. host: henry olsen. guest: negative advertising and attacking often annoys and bothers people. but people do it because it is effective.

and this became this major points that they very firmly with ronald reagan. and they have maintained those as well. for instance, george bush was getting ready. george w bush was getting ready to invade iraq. i was strongly against it. i wrote op ed piece that was in the new york times and, later reprinted in other places called just war or a just war. and i define what a just war was in christian terms. and that pointed out in that editorial that the primary supporters of, a totally fallacious and unnecessary war in iraq, was a southern convention leadership. so were more warlike. they were for the penalty and they were for a lot of things that that that they can find verses in the bible to support that war against own personal beliefs. so my wife and i have separated personally from the southern baptist convention, but we're still a and in my church in plains. but if one of your domestic policy team had said, well, mr. president, i understand your reasons, i understand your explanation, have billy graham come over? what could it hurt if if you had been coun
