and turn ronald reagan into a saint. there's a reason they have to try so hard and the whole process has to be so overt. because the whole mt. reagan thing, and putting him on the dime, that was never going to happen on its own without someone really pushing for it. this is interesting, it's polling data from the gallup organization. and gallup keeps track of presidential approval ratings and they have for generations. presidential approval ratings mostly get attention at the moment when they are announced. when there are signs that a president's approval rating has ticked up or gone down for some reason. presidential approval ratings get a lot of short-term attention. but that data exists in perpetuity. and if you step back from the day-to-day noise and uptick and downtick in those numbers, those numbers taken from a big picture perspective, they can actually give you a really interesting historical view about an empirically knowable question, whether or not presidents were liked. not after the fact, not because somebody

criticizing ronald reagan, s saying that ronald reagan was not that great a president, saying that ronald reagan was a disappointment as a president, comparing ronald reagan unfavorably to jimmy carter. yeah, jimmy carter was better than reagan, said rand paul? yes, he said that and said it multiple times. >> the deficit went through the roof under reagan. everybody loves this budget. it was $100 million in debt. this was three times better than jimmy carter's best deficit. we wanted reagan to have balanced budgets and he didn't do it. it wasn't anything personal against him. i think his philosophy was good, i just don't think he had the energy or follow-through to get what we needed. >> what he had to say most of the time was a great message. but the deficits exploded under reagan. domestic spending went up under reagan more than it did under carter. we had one time when we had reagan, we were fiscal conservatives. well, unfortunately, even that wasn't true. jimmy carter's last budget was about 34, $36 billion in debt. well, turns out reagan's first budget turned out to be $110 billion i

it turns out the senator has a history of bashing ronald reagan. mpaigning for his dad back in 2007, 2008, and 2009, the future kentucky senator blasted reagan for raising the debt, even compared him unfavorably to his predecessor jimmy carter. video was uncovered by david corn at "mother jones." people want to like reagan and what he had to say most of the time was a great message, but domestic spending went up at a greater clip under reagan than it did under carter. >> he didn't do it. wasn't anything personal against him. i think his philosophy was good, i just don't know he had the energy or follow through to get what we needed. >> why did the deficit rise? because spending rose more dramatically under a reagan than it did under carter. you say, well, reagan's a conservative, carter's a liberal. not necessarily always what it seems. >> rand paul was right the deficits bloomed, but most people don't expect to hear that from someone who is talked about as a leading republican contender for the nomination in 2016. david corn is with us, along with

what ron paul's son said about ronald reagan a few years ago was once a fairly common sentiment on thereality of the reagan presidency w a lot more complex, a lot less conservative, and a lot more interesting than ambitious republican politicians are allowed to admit these days. that's "hardball" for now. thanks for being with us. "all in with chris hayes" starts right now. >>> good evening from new york. i'm chris hayes. there is a brand-new set of polls out today, possibly the most significant of the 2014 cycle, and it shows something that many political observers would have never anticipated just one month ago. not only is obamacare working, there is mounting evidence it is winning. and it's winning in the hardest place for it to win, the hardest place for democratic candidates. it is winning in what could be considered the geographical epicenter of the tea party. it is winning in the heart of red america in the deepest recesses of anti-obama politics. in four southern states, "the new york times" polled

[laughter] in 1980 when ronald reagan showed up at the nomination, george herbert walker bush was thelast surviving serious opponent. if you define everybody that supported ronald reagan at the time that he showed up and you call them reaganites and those that were not supporting them don't qualify as reaganites even though many of them d did suppot him when he became the nominee. >> since reagan the republican party has nominated a number of other candidates for president of the united states. it happens that none of those nominees met the definition of reaganites which i just gave you. here is the statement i knew was coming. i think it is high time to nominate another reaganite. my question is who should be? >> thank you. well said. in this building some years ago, doctor lee edwards had a panel discussion on one of his 20 plus books that he has written. i remember the great conservative ambassador was in the audience, and he asked a version of the question he said in all of the years we had the conservative movement since the 50s through now we have only flown up from the grassroo

if jeb feels that way about it, it reminds me of my old boss ronald reagan. ronald reagan used to say when the blame america first crowd gets out of hand, you need to apply the gates test. what is the gates test? he says the gates test. see which way people run. they run to america. that is what jeb is saying to me. this is the place for good reason. we ought to be proud of it. when you apply the gates test and people want to come here. and that is what is good about --s and i don't find that that message has the benefit of being true. whether everybody will take that same view, is neither here or there. it is very similar to what ronald reagan.. >> is that the right direction for the party? >> i think for economic policy, for legal policy, for national security policy, and for immigration policy as well as being the shining city on the hill, every one of those -- we ought to have good immigration reform. >> as you get into the 20 16th cycle, you are going to have more republicans than not that are closer to the jeb bush position. with that view who gets into

one of the underappreciated things about the weirdness of the ronald reagan presidency is how much ronald reagan as president liked to talk about space aliens. not like just in casual conversation. i mean, like, he brought it up at the united nations. >> i occasionally think how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world. >> everybody in the united nations is like, did he just say that? i'm going to wait for the translation. i think he was just talking about -- and that wasn't the only time he ever did that. that was the united nations in september 1987. president reagan also really riffed on the idea of a space alien invasion when he was speaking to a group of students in maryland in december 1985. >> i couldn't help at one point in my secretary with -- privately with general secretary gorbachev, when you stop to think we're all god's children wherever we may live in the world, i couldn't help but say to him, just think how easy his task and mine might be in these meetings that we held if suddenly there was a threat to this wo

ronald reagan was asked about it. democrats were critical. join has made note of it, democrats are critical. everything is relevant when you run for president, not only what you think about taxes and spending but who you are, how old you are, she will be asked like every candidate, give us access to your doctors, your medical records. where is the line? >> these are all fair questions. why this was an issue for mccain was not necessarily just because he would be 72, but also because with sarah palin there was a lot of questions about whether she was qualified to be president, she stumbled out of the game, people questioned her fitness to become president. if hillary gets in a situation where she has a vice presidential candidate who is someone who -- there's a credibility question involving him or her, number two on the ticket, then people will start saying, harks can she serve out her term, will she be healthy enough to serve out potentially two terms? >> this narrative isn't coming out of nowhere. she had a little health scare last year. th

1977, carter gave away "our" canal to some place called panama, enraging a man i like to call ronald reagan. ronald wilson reagan was born in 19 -- what's that? wrong library? okay. i'm sorry. let's get him on. okay. in 1979, president carter negotiated the camp david accords, which brought peace between egypt and israel, marking a period of tranquility in the middle east that lasted almost 20 minutes. during the oil crisis, carter set an energy conservation example at the white house, where he turned down the thermostats wore sweaters to keep warm, installed solar panels on the roof and attached a windmill to walter mondale. 1979 also marked the beginning of the iran hostage crisis, when our tehran embassy was stormed, and 52 americans were held hostage, resulting in a low approval rating for carter, and an even lower trip advisor rating for the iranian embassy. rescue attempts failed, because, sadly, add the time, ben affleck was only seven years old.

they were told ronald reagan and the team in 1976 -- by the way before he got to north carolina he lost four or five primaries. he lost the florida primary, the north primary and things were looking really, really dark. so, he wants to come into north carolina and tom ellis said we don't want you here. we will handle the campaign. we will take care of it. however if you insist on coming and we have to do four things come and he said tom ellis told him he is for things. you must attack forward,

was a poll down in 2013, after the 2013 -- after the second inaugural that asked americans if ronald reagan was to run who would you vote for? and they said reagan by 53%. how was obama elected? the youth vote. that same poll, they asked people ages 18-34 who would you vote for reagan or obama and they picked reagan. unlike the gallop, they do a presidents day poll every annual presidents day and they have been doing this 13 times since 2001. reagan placed first among the american public as far as the question who is your all time favorite question? 2001, 2001, 2011 and 2012. he usually finishes in the top three beating lincoln. imagine that. in june 2005, there was a poll done by aol and time warner, aol online surveyed americans and asked them to put in whatever name they wanted: who is the greatest american of all time? 2.4 million people responded which anyone tells you is far and away a representative sample. you only need 500 people to do this polling. and reagan won. greatest american of all time. what republican wouldn't want to be like reagan? who wouldn't aspire to that success? y

ronald reagan became a transformative figure.as not when he decided to run for president in 1979. he was thought to be too old and far to the right and surprisingly he was thought to be unsophisticated in the ways of goff everyoning. he was a great leader. we have potentially the best class of candidates in 2016 than we have had going all the way back to 1980. they are men and women of accomplishment. and many of them are governors and some senators and they are all serious. >> just before we leave. maybe you don't want to say a name. our viewers are curious with your experience in government. is there a name we are not even considering and you will keep an eye out. >> i will not mention one name. there is a good group of governors and 4 or 5 that would make good president. and senators, governor christie and former goff bush and rand paul. all of these individuals are serious men and thought seriously about the problems we face. and again, given the record of this administration, i think that the public is going to be interested

i believe what ronald reagan said. as government expands, liberty contracts. i'm running on a platform of freedom and liberty. standing up for freedom against obamacare. a $1.2 trillion tax on our small businesses, killing jobs, and turning small businesses. i am standing up for economic freedom. with united states is 12th, i understand rankings. -- 12 behind estonia, something is wrong. for ourg to stand up religious freedoms. this administration continues to assault those religious freedoms protected by our first amendment. they are going after a second minute rides. they're going after our fourth amendment rights. i believe that standing up for freedom is the calling of our time. join me in this effort. i need your help. i need your support. i am asking for your vote on june 3. i am asking for your prayers for my family. god bless you and may god bless the united states of america. thank you.

paul from before he was a senator saying president jimmy carter was better on the budget than ronald reagannder reagan than carter. domestic spending went up more rapidly in the '80s under carter. domestic spending grows faster under reagan than under jimmy carter. spending rose more dramatically under reagan than it did under carter. >> uh-oh, louisville! we may have a problem. but now that he's thinking about running for president, senator paul is running away from those old talking points. he's running as fast as he can. his office sent out a statement saying, "i have always been and continue to be a great supporter of ronald reagan's tax cuts and the millions of jobs they created. clearly spending during his tenure did not lessen, but he also had to contend with democratic majorities in congress." did senator paul think we wouldn't notice he's trying to change his tune now? nice try, but there you go again. we got you.

ronald reagan, i will close with this, ronald reagan who i was proud to work with brought in the longest economic expansion in the history of the nation by lowering taxes in 1982. it was longer than the touted carter expansion and he kept his eye on the ball and believed in limited government and low taxes and people prospered. john kennedy said when he lowered capital gains taxes when he became president, rising tide lifts all boats. the message of "taxifornia" is there is too much spending, individuals need to have their eyes on government so that it doesn't get so out of control and so one sided with so much liberal democrat control but they are allowed to run amok because when they run amok your future is in danger. i want to thank ron robinson, a good friend and comrade. when we were your age we were in the trenches fighting jane fonda and her communist allies around the country. i want to thank patrick khalil, we worked together for a while, patrick had a great career at young americans foundation and glad to see my friend kirby wilbur here. if i could answer any questions.

the administrations of presidents ronald reagan, george h.w.h were the architects of many of our most successful and enduring arms control efforts. let me affirm that the united states is committed to maintaining strategic stability between the united states and russia and to encouraging mutual steps to foster a more stable, resilient, predictable and transparent security relationship. that said, russia's illegal actions in ukraine have undermined trust. while diplomacy between the united states and russia continues, no one can ignore that russia's actions in ukraine have violated the very principles upon which cooperation is built. further, as we consider arms control priorities this year, or in any year, we will continue to consult closely with our allies and partners every step of the way. our security and defense, as well as that of our allies and partners, is nonnegotiable. we will only pursue arms control agreements that advance our national interest. during the cold war, washington and moscow found it in our mutual interest to work toget

and begs the question, what did ronald reagan believe? this poster boy, this face of conservativism, the standard bearer of the republican part, what did he believe? reagan never really gave a definition of conservativism. i think he was afraid to try. but february 6, 1977, which was his 66th birthday, and he spoke at cpac, the conserve political action conference. reagan spoke there 13 times. every year of his presidency. reagan spoke to cpac, and here in this particular address, which in the become of the book i have -- the back of the book i have the full february 1977 reagan cpac speech. it's a gem. he said, conservativism can mean different things to those who call themselves conservatives, and it can. really the essence of conservativism, if you want a definition from me and then i'll geoff you reagan's definition -- conserves seek to conserve and preserve the time-tested values and ideas that they believe best serve the country, citizens, and people everywhere. the ideas that over time have proven to work, have proven to be the best

. >> ronald reagan is president last left office in 1988. >> no. saying that's the type of individual. >> well, look, that may or may not be true. but the demographics keep going against the production and at some level they are understanding that. you know, and when they play out in iowa in december 2015, the most important person is going to be nate silva. if he says one candidate is running five points against another candidate. that's going to be a large factor in a lot of people making up the behind. that's not been the case. >> not everybody lives in your world carville thank god as a political poster. i think you are missing it i think you are really missing it. you step out of your political realm in to the real world for a minute. >> okay. the message of fiscal responsibility, personal responsibility in spawrl government is not a message that is age appropriate. it's a message that if you understand the quorld, which a lot of young people do not and i besiege you that the dumb vote usually goes to the people who promise the most. >> voters

what this is a flip side of a vision of ronald reagan. cia, excuse me the kgb in this series is desperate. and at the are desperate because ronald reagan has a vision for doing in the evil empire. it takes the prism and turns it upside down and you are now looking at the desperation of two kgb officers living right here in washington, d.c. under cover. the best part of it is, i have met a lot of kgb officers. none of them are as pretty as kerry russell. >> i will keep that in mind. the war stories is still a huge hit and i love the war stories. that's a whole another genre. nice to see you. >> thank you. >> straight ahead, part of your salary is not enough. the tax man now wants to take more from you, he has a new way. how? that's coming up. plus, you're going to love this video. a wild ride down a mountain ridge and the best part you? are right there with the dare devil biker. you get that ride next.

attorney general under presidents ronald reagan and george h.w. bush. former u.s.orney general, thanks for being here. >> good evening, ari. >> tell me your thoughts here, as we reflect on the anniversary. >> well, this is a hallelujah day, i think, for american citizens. we've labored for almost a century, trying to get some flesh and blood into the constitutional amendments adopted at the end of the sieve war, and it wasn't until 1964 that that bipartisan coalition was put together. i have to say, i was someone amused by mr. alexander's characterization of the republicans as being the bad guys in this scenario. in point of fact, there would be no civil rights act of 1964 if it hadn't been for the support coming from republican house members under the leadership of president -- of senator hugh scott, senator everett dirkson, and others. the fact is that 27 out of 33 republican house members voted for the civil rights act. so times change and the attitudes of the parties change, but this was true a bipartisan effort and it's probably a landmark bipartisan effort. n

what ronald reagan did and i'm not saying we need to go back to reagan policies, but the principle behindhe tax on labor and capital. if you remember the 1976 tax act, he reduced the top rate to 28%. oh, it's a horrible thing. remember, when you're taxing income, you're taxing workers. it's a tax on labor, it's a tax on work. so he raised the capital gains tax was high, it was almost equal to the -- >> which is at the center of the book. >> of that book, right. >> which is when people are making more money on their capital, on passive investments than workers in america, that's when we lose. >> the whole idea is if you want more of something, subsidize it, if you want less of something, tax it. so the idea of cutting taxes is a good idea. >> on income, for workers. >> on income. and i'm not one of these guys, oh, we need to zero the capital gains and all this stuff. i disagree with that. >> let me ask the other guys really quickly and see if you agree with me. warren buffett should not be paying 14% tax rate while his secretary is paying 28% tax rate, true or false? >> in the book i addre

ronald reagan used to be extreme. now we look back and say he's an honored statesman. people used to say bob dole is extreme. all these guys are ideologues in the best sense of the world. rand paul is a creative and thoughtful guy. this week he's out in detroit, makedetroit -- -- detroit, milwaukee, talking about school choit. martha: do you think the field is open? >> it's open also there is a difference here. ronald reagan was a conservative who was able to bridge his command of do no ill to another republican. and he had a commanding presence because he had run before and he had been governor for two terms in california. these guys will have to get their bona fides enough with that segment of the republican party, christie talks about -- christie's problem is he has to be able to relight to the right d b -- hehas to be able to relae right of the republican party. rand palms idea about detroit, it's an interesting scenario. martha: bob dole made a comment after the last election and said the republican party needs to be closed for business. i think he was talking abo
