what they really need is a ronald reagan. >> bob: ronald reagan did well with young people. >> eric:. >> andrea: i wanted to ask about this, i really don't remember falling in love with ronald reagan because of supply side economics. how important is that going forward when republicans have to start thinking about they might choose for them in 2016. >> andrea: ronald reagan was incredibly authentic. that is what young people like. and this is very important for them now, he made them feel like they were part of something bigger. they want to be engaged. they want their candidate to feel like they are accessible to them. it sounds overly simplistic. we need cooler candidates. it doesn't mean they have to compromise their positions but the republican party has to realize the internet exists. we have a new digital manager, oh, the way we made a facebook post. >> dana: i think you were talking about facebook veteran, she like 32 a ten-year veteran. i significant hire for them. in this survey, only 5% of the youngsters said they want wanted to be cool. what they wanted to be considered wa

war against labor ronald reagan's war against free education colleges to be free in the united states or in much large parts of the united states so it was in california before reagan became governor there and on and on and on so my hope for you is that as this economy continues to disintegrate people enough people will wake up and particularly enough young people and say this reaganomics stuff it doesn't work and then there will be a reform because the reagan revolution was a genuine revolution and it's going to take another revolution like the f.d.r.'s new deal revolution to reverse it stephen latham new york a steve what's up. com how a great. attorney. didn't a long time is a big fan of your show. you do such a great job with the pro unions and how they're being attacked in michigan and ohio and here in new york. union member and cover cuomo is threatening already take away our binding arbitration rights and h.r. twenty one and i was wondering if you could. possibly look into it because there is a local media does nothing for us. and i think that. ok i will look into that i don't

and he advised ronald reagan to do this. he knew both reagan and the first president bush pretty well. had known reagan since the mid 60's. he advised reagan and then vice president bush years later to do this. he was successful in that, although i don't think that we can really needed to be -- i'm not sure that reagan needed to be told that that heat respected him. rusher also wanted reagan to be the head of the new conservative party. well, to make a long story short, reagan refuses, probably prudently, most liberal scientists -- and i have had training of scientists have told you it will be big on a national level that cannot start small. it's got to start big. probably with a superstar like reagan. so, once reagan refused and made 75, early in 75 to join this third party project rusher not going and wrote a book about, it was probably curtains for that particular idea. but, rusher had succeeded in getting the conservatives to think more about the need to expand the republican party. and for the republican party to be more

they watched president ronald reagan and me to the he was our referee. ronald reagan and i had a new year's eve golf game every year and one year they showed up and it was quite a day. they were fun. >> host: george shultz, in "issues on my mind" coming you write about your time as the secretary of treasury. why did you resign? >> guest: well, the atmosphere became rather discouraging even though we had a lot of really good experiences. one day i'm sitting in my office and the director of internal revenue, the commissioner comes to see me. his name was johnny walters. he said i just had a visit from john dean, the president's counselor. and he hands me this list of 50 or so names of people to do a full field investigation of their tax returns. that is a very unpleasant process. what do i do? you don't do it. what do i tell john dean. report to me and if he has a problem he will come to me. it's interesting in the nixon tapes i heard him discussing this with john been and they basically said who the hell does blue walleye is think he is not doing what we

walter anonberg new ronald reagan going back to the 1930s. they had a long personal history and when ronald reagan was an actor in hollywood. so over time, that relationship which was deep and personal continued to, and when ronald reagan was governor of the state of california he came here and then of course after he had been elective president he continued to come here. he came every single year for 18 of the anonberg new year's eve parties. and so that was a moment every year where hollywood and government came together in a large social gathering. otherwise the anonbergs really entertains in small groups. the anonbergs would invite these individuals who word their friends to spend time here and they were determining who those friends might enjoy meeting and create these kinds of connections that didn't exist before. jones use these elements of midcentury modern architecture to create a space that was informal, that could flow from place to place and at the same time took a huge space, this is 6,400 square feet which was the size of five a

president ronald reagan made a direct appeal to the soviet leader. >> mr. gorbachev, open the gate. reagan's wi soon became a reality. two years later the wall fell. but the backing of the united states, the two germanys were reunited. berlin once again became the capital. though clinton was the first u.s. president who walks or brandenburg gate side-by-side with chancellor helmut kohl. he became read -- he came prepared for a message in germany. >> alles is moeglish.

prior to his election to congress in 1987, congressman upton work for president ronald reagan in the office of management and budget. and i can tell you from our family we are very pleased that

kennedy and, of course, ronald reagan. what was the president trying to achieve with this speech, do you think? >> it was very important for the president to convey the idea that he has not changed and his goals haven't changed. that that glimmer of newness that he had back in '0 , that's gone. he's not new anymore. the baalities of the office have caught up with him and also that even though he has not been able to close guantanamo and not get cap and trade and he has not been able to do all the wonderful things had he hoped to do on the international scene that he's still trying. to convey that that spirit is still there. i think that he was able to do that also within the context of the fact that you know, i always think as an american how i would feel if it was another country that was a bigger superpower than us in the world. allied with us, but we were more the junior partner than senior. that gives obama a very special role over there in germany to reassure are the people of germany and our european allies that amer

early on when i was working in the primaries ronald reagan gave me a tie. on the tie it says democracy is not a spectator sport. so be part of it and be part of politics but be willing to serve and be a participant. >> host: rule number five, confidence is the name of the game. >> guest: well it's a great start to be competent. if you are not confident you are going to be in big trouble. i had a tough experience with that though. i told you when i went to washington as secretary of labor i was kind of innocent of politics and i had a bunch of political appointees lots to fill and i realized that you are trained to work with a diverse constituency, so i said i need the best management guide in this industrial relations labor relations deal. everybody told me was a guy named jim hudson who was at lockheed. i talked to him and we got him. i said well we have got to have a real labor guy. not an employer who advises unions for someone who negotiates contracts. their real union guy so we found a guy to do that. you have to get give someone who really knows manpo

but as ronald reagan said as well, it can be that shining city on a hill once again. ecleezeyasties in the fourth chapter in the 12th verse says a person standing alone can be attacked and defeated. but two men standing back to back, they will conquer. so that vision of us standing back to back, that vision of us fighting the good fight, covering for each other, as my friends in the military say, i've got your back. folks, in the great steat of texas, we have your back. when it comes to the issues of economy, when it comes to the issue of values. we have your back. and we ask you all across this country to do the same for the values for those individuals who are standing up courageously and joyfully leading the charge. have their back as well. god bless you. and thank you all for letting me come today. >> next, chairman of the republican national committee. he was elected in 2011 and reelected for a second term in january of this year. his remarks are about 10 minutes. >> thank you, tony. and god bless you. thank you, everybody, for being here. i just want to let you

why do you think that is i really have no idea because ronald reagan was very conservative so why they would want to put his name is i mean i think the gipper has been his legacy has been built up after he got a lot of office people remember certain things about him maybe they're not necessarily true but people generally have fun recollections of the eighty's after all that was the beginning of the great bull market you know inflation was kind of killed at the very beginning of the decade so it wasn't a bad time but he wasn't known as a great spender so why do they want to throw as they were on the dollar you have to understand he actually was quite a great spender you would know he signed almost every spending bill they call anytime that really did increase the size of the government when he wasn't known as a great center and compared to everyone else we had been in reality right. well that's what i mean as a as a fundraiser and a campaigner he was greater and he was a great speech writer for a speech giver anyway how the writer as well so ok who would your choice be for you're carryi

you mentioned ronald reagan several times. ronald reagan would not be the party candidate in this republican party. ronald reagan wanted tax reform when he was president of the united states. i have seen him ask -- he had asked that the wealthiest in our society should pay their fair share in taxes. if he had given that same speech at the republican convention he would have been round-booed. you have to be careful when bringing up ronald reagan in this at pastor today. you are 100% right, the congressional black caucus is constantly on the president of the united states. the president of the net states understands that, from what i know. he hears this criticism. but their problem is not so much the president -- i will be quite honest, i had -- on my show. i asked him if the president is doing enough to help unemployment. he came out and said, "no, he is not doing enough. neither is the democratic party." the destruction is not with the democratic party. the obstruction is that the job programs that are being put on the table a

i want to play a sound bite from june of 1987, where president ronald reagan made this remark. >> general gorbachev. if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the soviet union and eastern europe, if you seek liberalization, come here to this gate. mr. gorbachev, open this gate. mr. gorbachev, tear down this wall. >>> joined again by our gaggle back here in washington, d.c., crist matthews, susan page, kristin welker. susan, in the break we were talking about the historic part of this moment. having traveled to the railing -- what does this moment mean? >> i was covering the white house for "newsday," and he spoke of his desire, the end of communism, uniting the germany. none of us thought that would happen. we weren't sure that president reagan actually thought this was a possibility, yet look at what has happened. we do get caught up in the headlines of this morning, but we shouldn't lose sight there are these moments in history action and when you cover the white house, kristin, as you know, you really have the 3ri68 of seeing them up close. >> this white house, there was some sort

make it easier for not growing as ronald reagan said he would not krow. treat them like a sovereign nation. that doesn't mean so you to accept or respect them, for that matter. you have to engage diplomatically the way diplomacy works the sovereign states. and the soviets were very concerned about that. they wanted to be treated as a sovereign state. they might -- they were the evil empire as far as we were considered. ronald reagan said so. he still treated them with great respect and dignity. the third, may be the most important thing, is linkage. we linked our logicalness to talk to iran to the behavior. their behavior is material. the behavior of the soviet union was equally bad if not worse. secretary schultz and ronald reagan decided instead of linking our logicalness to talk. we have to stand up to them when nay do something wrong and refusing to talk does not deter an enemy. standing up to an enemy does potentially. it makes talking more possible. i believe if we stop linking our willingness to talk to the conduct, stood up to them. we would be mo

she was throughout the career in sacramento and washington both attuned to ronald reagan's agenda and how to get that agenda in act it. -- that agenda enacted. she was an intellectual. she had strong views with regard to the soviet union come out with how to pursue arms-control initiatives, views on issues like south africa. and she made them known. namely inside the closed circle. she didn't take her differences of opinion public. but inside the white house itself, she was not at all reticent about getting involved in political matters that mattered most to her. she didn't have any separate ambition. i think the difference with hillary clinton and bill clinton is that these were two people who came together in a different era, both of them very competent, one of them perhaps more politically astute than the other. i think that she was maybe the one who was more politically astute. and she was determined to do carry on in her own right afterwards and has made a fascinating transition that no other first lady has even attempted. perhaps the closest to it would be a lenore roosevelt in

even ronald reagan, the voting paths may be very different. >> host: and that is because the republican party itself is controlled. >> guest: of four republican, the current chairman realizes that a lot of the base, republican base in california has its roots in that rural areas. it moves with a social conservative. and i guess it's an anomaly, but in california, the recall is the opportunity when the entire electorate was voting. >> host: you have a chart in this book, and i want to ask you if this is still up today when it comes to congress. congress from the 1960's. you can see the blue and the red you can see overlap. you say that congress has gotten more and more polarized. is that correct? >> guest: that has not changed in the slightest. there are a couple of things going on here. one is a simple change, social and geographic change in the country. the effort -- the communities in the north and south, the sun belt, tremendous growth in the sun belt's. this up becoming more conservative and economic region we are seeing the social movements align with one party or the other. the en

get american workers the same benefits that almost every european worker as and contrary to what ronald reagan said government.

when ronald reagan was an actor in hollywood. so over time, that relationship, which was deep and personal continued and when ronald reagan was governor of the state of california, he came here and of course after he been elected president, he continued to come here. he came every single year for eight team that he and burke new year's eve parties. so that was a moment every year, where hollywood and that government came together in a large social gathering. otherwise, the annenberg center came in small groups. they would invite these individuals who are their friend to spend time here and then they would determine who those friends might enjoy meeting and create these connections that perhaps -- jones use these elements admitted century modern architecture to create a space that was informal from place to place and at the same time took a huge space. as is actually 6400 square feet, which was the size of five average american homes in the 1960s and yet it doesn't feel overwhelming. it has a very comfortable quality to it and tha

we can hack away at the regulatory jungle the way ronald reagan did.deal with the problem of tort reform, which is a major issue for small businesses, the aggressive litigation that sometimes disrupts business life here. and hey, we need to address the problem of failing public schools to improve our human capital. we're producing a generation of semi-literates through failing public schools in the poorer zip codes. these are all fixable problems. and the great thing is as winston churchill said, the united states always does the right thing when all the alternatives have been exhausted. >> i like that. i still think there's a lost innovation. i just made a quick list. the human genome and sxhns biotech is very good. advanced education online is a lot cheaper than it used to be. that's a good plus. and then you've got the computing and the web tech and the industrial robotics. we haven't really fallen behind, have we? we're just making it more difficult. >> well, my friend peter thiel would say compared with the 19 1k340z '50s our technological innovat

ronald reagan died a little less decade ago. and sometimes i fear with his that g, we've forgotten conversations should come with a smile. love and joy ought to be our code. ur conviction and passion should lead to compassion, not contempt or anger or fear mongering. stand for the principles that made america great. exude those principles with joy. you know, smile when you disagree with a liberal. know, and shake your head nd as ronald reagan once said, he said liberals know so much that isn't so. so you need to be strong. be courageous. to be loving and compassionate. our conservative convictions country back if our tone shows that we're our own ideas.h nd together we can build that movement. we can make sure that america is the freest and most prosperous nation in the face of the earth. but as ronald reagan said as be that shining light on the hill once again. the fourth es, chapter and the 12th verse, it says a person standing alone can and defeated. but two men standing back-to-back, they will conquer. so that vision of us s

ronald reagan several times.onald reagan would not be the party candidate in this republican party. ronald reagan wanted tax reform when he was president of the united states. seen him ask -- he had asked that the wealthiest in our society should pay their fair share in taxes. if he had given that same speech at the republican convention he would have been round-booed. you have to be careful when bringing up ronald reagan in this at pastor today. you are 100% right, the congressional black caucus is constantly on the president of the united states. the president of the net states understands that, from what i know. he hears this criticism. but their problem is not so much the president -- i will be quite honest, i had -- on my show. i asked him if the president is doing enough to help unemployment. he came out and said, "no, he is not doing enough. neither is the democratic party." the destruction is not with the democratic party. the obstruction is that the job programs that are being put on the table are often

continued, and when ronald reagan was governor of the state of california, he came here and then of course after he had been elected president he continued to come here and he came here every year for 18 of the new year's eve parties. and so that was a moment everywhere where the government can together in a large social gathering. other whites the entertained in small groups. the ann birds would invite these individuals who were their friends to spend time here and then they would fully determine who those friends might enjoy meeting and create these kind of connections that perhaps hadn't existed before. they used these elements of the market architecture to create a space that was in a formal that could slow from place to place and that at the same time took a huge space. this a 6,400 square feet which is the size of five average american homes in the 1960's and yet it doesn't feel overwhelming. it has a very comfortable kind of quality to it and that is the combination of the architecture and then the furniture groupings william haines designed. it was the room of memories. a ve

was hopeful an inspiring bk in008, but now it comes time to deliver against a backdrop of where ronald reaganid, and kenny stood. the wall is gone. so trying to recreate an inic given that you cannot possibl top and then have it go so badly. and on the heels of the tension between the russian presint, it was a disaster. lou: 200,000 people there in 2008 to watch candidate barack obama. 4500 is the estimate, and they get 6,000 tickets, 4500 folks to listen to him do whatever it w he was doing behind that 6--inch plate glass. how the mighty have fallen. and the president, the psident calling the fince minister, uk financeiniste george apple horn jeffrey, three aforetime spirit i mean, this was a disastrous trip for this president, was in this? >> i was not a tour de force, i will say that much. the ruian president showed him up. ve him a very bad -- basically openly mocked nato and obama saying that they were harming cannibals and syria and doing a bad job of it that. showed no signs of making any move. lou: se get my attention. the cannibals and syria, i had not heard that until or read it unt

smart men like newt gingrich and ronald reagan were given the same deal before. second half after amnesty was given was never followed through on. i fear the same thing is going to happen here. so secure the border first. there is no argument that can say why we are not protecting our country and securing our border. it is not just about illegals. it is about the cartels. we arrested 76 cartel members in my county with 108 guns. don't tell me the border is secure. in a post 9/11 world with the terrorist threat, this is why we need to secure our border. secure the border first and then we can have a dispassionate conversation about what we do with 11 million to 20 million illegals. >> got you. sheriff, great seeing you. thank you very much. >> good to see you, neil. >> a quick post on the sheriff, a lot saying they thought i was part of a group of the big opinion leaders and thinkers that some of these gang of eight senators were pursuing to win over. i wish that were the case. i got no such call. hope springsy -- springs eternal, but i didn't get it. this just in

of the united states in a lucite box in the baking sun in front of the brandenburg gate where ronald reaganto talk about a nuclear weapons freeze with russia and global warming. it was the worst stage crass imaginable. my goodness. two is running the show? lou: any thoughts on that, brad? how important is it runs the show? he is still president barack obama. >> he is not barack obama 2008, that is for a short. the stagecraft was unbelievable. the message was hopeful an inspiring back in 2008, but now it comes time to deliver against a backdrop of where ronald reagan stood, as chris said, and kennedy stood. the wall is gone. so trying to recreate an iconic given that you cannot possibly top and then have it go so badly. and on the heels of the tension between the russian president, it was a disaster. lou: 200,000 people there in 2008 to watch candidate barack obama. 4500 is the estimate, and they get 6,000 tickets, 4500 folks to listen to him do whatever it was he was doing behind that 6--inch plate glass. how the mighty have fallen. and the president, the president calling the finance minis

ronald reagan was a successful movie, the one he was known best for. cousin credit for ronald reagan because of that dipper but my cousin always told me you need to write a book. i was a little kid, 8 years old. never thought i would write this one or write it this way sola put a lot of thought into it. didn't do the book at first, didn't want to do it so i outline that in here, 60 minutes with my former chief of staff, we agreed to do 60 minutes together and the reason we did, we have jackie on 60 minutes and neil and you and we talked and was good to have the two of us. it shows more honesty. if i say this, neil could say no, or vice versa. in my opinion having the two side by side was a better way to do that. i went to india and for a one month trip and saw 60 minutes over there. i saw jack abramoff and i make it clear jack did not do this to me, i did this to myself period. and maybe have a dinner or i made those decisions. so i watched jack abramoff on 60 minutes, i could feel some empathy having been in prison, he was in prison, and the fee for a

picture you're looking for someone to blame for the rise of our security state look no farther than ronald reagan more on that in just a moment and new reports show that despite the list of the bashing of publicly bashing obama care many prominent republican politicians are secretly pretty enthusiastic about least when it comes to money for their districts. you need to know this i want my boring predictable.

the relationship with ronald reagan which will be developed more in the second volume of people talk about the special relationship in britain and the united states what was the relationship between the two? >> it comes out very clearly in this first volume is that personal report which is -- it comes partly from the individual character. they write the difference between the two of them. a very hyperactive person always trying to get things done and he is more laid back and charming and relaxed and each has a quality and the other that is important but the real importance which i think you see in this volume is they first met in 75. and he was in the wilderness hoping for the nomination in 56 which she didn't get until 1980 that the world is against them, the power to be worked against them at that time and they shared a vision of the countries and the whole civilization going the wrong way and they agreed about that. the government problems and inflation labor unions and the soviet communism and the aggression wasn't going away and the detente was based on the trust that shouldn't

helping the world keep promises. >> neil: ronald reagan would say trust but verify.then the gipper wasn't talking about illegal immigration reform but might as well have because back in 1986 he signed on to what called the nation's first am necessary dideal but one with a powerful enforcement provision, or provision promised, that reagan later admitted he bought hook, line and sinker, but a promise that proved more of a stinker, border that was never secure. that's why republican holdouts say they're still holding out on the latest immigration reform bill. because, they says, they are remembering history. andy smith, been can that stands make them history? >> that's a really tough position that republicans are in. the people in the senate who are in favor of this see that there's a distinct policy problem but do remember that there's a two-year time horizon on the voters will -- hey have to respond to, and history has shown in the past republicans were not able to get what they wanted when it came to reforming immigration. the interesting thing, it doesn't seem -- th

democrats doesn't mean given a different kind of republican, pete wilson kind of republican even ronald reagan the voting patterns might be different. >> that's because the republican party itself is controlled by -- >> if you talk to the people here in the former republican state chairman, the current state chairman, they realize a lot of the republican base in california has its roots in the more desert room areas and the social issues are strong and they would rather lose with a social conservative than to win with a moderate and the -- that is why schwarzenegger was such an anomaly that he couldn't have made it through the republican primary in california but the recall gave him the opportunity when the four running. >> you have a chart and i want to ask if this is up to date when it comes to congress. congress in the 1960's you can see the blue and the red and overlap and you say the congress has gotten more and more polarized. how has this happened? >> there's a couple things going on it's changed the social and demographic change in the country african-americans move north from the self

and ronald reagan which one is more likely to rank in the second tier under those? >> i think reagan if only because of his role at the end of the cold war. kennedy also had two years in 10 months. had he raiched kennedy for everything he did before the cuban missile crisis, he would have been a very uninteresting president. >> i agree. i think it's reagan and my source is obama. he reaches back to reagan and says he was the transformational president of his lifetime. so i think for all kind of reasons -- both presidents have great big fog machines still going but i'm going with reagan. chris: so let's hear no more about the liberal media. thanks to michael beschloss and michael duffy for in fascinating show. and that is >>> hi, everybody. welcome to "on the money." i'm maria bartiromo. my conversation with mutual funds legend and vanguard founder jack bogle. why he says equities still have room to rock and how to invest as interest rates begin to rise. >>> the recovery in housing, is it for real? what it means for the economy and your wallet. >>> plus, giving until

he worked with ronald reagan. he understood you need political solutions, not military solutions. when the soviet troops were ready to come out of the barracks so the berlin wall would not come down, he told them to stay in the barracks, the empire is going. we cannot be a country that will be one of glasnost and perestroika if we live the way we have. it is the 20th anniversary of the soviet union, the end of the soviet union. many people in russia blame him for the economic conditions in which they live. they blame him for the end of the country that many felt was the cradle to grave welfare state instead of a totalitarian system. i have great respect for him. you can also see people's weaknesses. you talked about all salvador. what about the priests and nuns? to me, that is the people power in that situation. flm was a revolutionary force seeking power. the people power were trying to alleviate poverty, trying to find balance. >> liberation theology had a stronger effect on the underlying society. i have to read this. you are listening to the commonwealth of california radio pr

gorbachev, tear down this wall, is the legacy of ronald reagan. clearly a lot of other bits and pieces in that puzzle as well, but that's a major, major part of who reagan was and what his history is. is it -- is this the time in a president's career that he starts legacy crafting and did today do anything towards that? >> there's -- somebody is going to do a nice and important book on the collected speeches of barack obama but let's not confuse this with kennedy's very important cold war talk in berlin or ronald reagan's fighting words about tear down this wall. this was a healing speech. it's not one that's going to be that memorable. it was exceedingly well written and delivered, and has a lot of news pulls to it. but this was not a moment that is going to be a gold star on history's calendar. >> no. i mean honestly, i think if you asked a lot of people under the age of 30 right now, they'd say really, nuclear proliferation is still an issue? we have bigger fish to fry elsewhere. just to that discussion, in terms of legacy crafting, do you think

remember, after ronald reagan's eight years, we had four years of george h.w. bush. that helped to lock in the reagan legacy. it kept chunks of it from being repealed. it's very important for obama's legacy that he have the strongest possible democrat, and that's hillary clinton, to do the same thing for him. so the strange thing is these two towering figures in american politics, they really need each other. obama needs hillary to cement his legacy. hillary needs obama to perform and have a good enough economy and to otherwise have a record that she is going to have to run on in order to get to the white house. >> okay. it sounds very symbiotic. >> it is. >> do you think bill clinton looks at hillary as someone to complete the obama legacy or someone to complete his legacy and make up for impeachment, and more concerned about his legacy than obama's? do you think that's an unfair question? >> no, it's not unfair action and i guarantee it will be asked if hillary runs. but look, bill clinton may want hillary's term to be his third term. i think she probably has somet

compare that to speeches ronald reagan and president kennedy made in germany. understand the realities of politics and strategy and the meaning of leadership in the world. >> are you saying, quite bluntly, he's in over his head? >> i don't know if in over his head is the right word, but certainly oblivious to certain realities as far as our national security are concerned. >> where does this go now? we have snowden sitting in the moscow airport in an international region. he wants to fly to havana and on to ecuador we're told. they will probably avoid american airspace. tell me how this plays out. >> the worst case scenario is, that snowden somehow, they get him to cuba and then to ecuador where he will -- like the wikileaks guy have some kind of immunity. like the wikileaks guy has in the embassy in england. >> whatever's been done, now it continues to be sort of an embarrassment that the guy got away? is that where we are? >> i think one of the places where we are, is that i'm confident that russian and chinese interrogators got a lot of information from mr.
