ronald reagan quoted the founders more than any other president, by far. i count 850 times reagan quoting madison, washington, hamilton, adams. it's just remarkable. you take the four or five presidents before him, the four or five after them and combine them, they don't even quote them. barack obama hardly ever quotes the hounders. he mended them a few years ago, referred to them as, quote: men of property and wealth. when he referred to the founders. lower taxes, limited government, peace through strength, anti-communism and belief in the individual. i'm watching the clock. i see i have about eight minutes. >> no, you have two minutes. >> i have two minutes? >> yes. it's the two minute warning. >> okay, i have less than that. let me say this: reagan emphasized in that cpac speech which is an amazing speech and we reprint anytime the back of the book and no one even knows about it, reagan said conservatives need to be complete conservatives. if you're a true conservative, you'll be an economic and a social conservative. and reagan argued that you can argue

john hinckley fires six mokts at president ronald reagan. s heart. reagan is rushed into the operating room and tells doctors, i hope you're all republicans. >> presenting to you, the president of the united states. >> our 40th president survived, of course, and besides his toughness, the shooting showed the american people that the great communicator also had sense of humor. >> he's in the second grade in the riverside school in rockville center, and he said, i hope you get well quick, or you might have to make a speech in your pajamas. >> throughout his career, reagan used humor, to make friends and influence voters. >> you already are the oldest president in history. >> slay the opposition. no one knew that better than walter mondale. >> i will not make age an issue of this campaign. i am not going to exploit for political purposes my opponent's youth and inexperience. [laughter] >> he wanted law and order in the town. you've got t. >> reporter: a former hollywood actor and spokesman for general electric, reagan knew how to make his humor

[laughter] my final story about ronald reagan i love this story and ronald reagan that is me and governor break-in at walnut creek. getting to the reception with the speech by ronald reagan. i snake can i get to be ronald reagan but i notice when he gives his speech he gives it with the four by 6-inch hand written note cards wanted those for my collection when he was done they took him into a back room and he was holed up with legislators the result whole crowd waiting that then they disappeared ballot is just me and some kids. three hours go by then they said he is not coming out this way he is going out the back this kid got in front of me he came out the door and the liberals started to pull away he started crying and for some reason ronald reagan and expect to see the kid crying he taps someone in front of them they back it up and he says were you waiting for me? then it is joyful he gets out and shakes his hand and poses for a picture and i am standing there. then he turns to me what can i do for you? i am not like this crybaby. [laughter] i have a plan. oh that speech you gave was t

but once ronald reagan began praising franklin d. roosevelt as a kind of predecessor, and as i say, newt gingrich does exactly the same thing now--the republican party has changed. not everyone in the republican party has changed, but it is an important fact that these two leaders of--who helped define the modern republican party spoke so well of franklin d. roosevelt. c-span: any idea of why you wouldn't write much about john f. kennedy or jimmy carter? >> guest: well, jimmy carter didn't exist for me. it's as simple as that. john f. kennedy i admired; as i say, i voted for him. i thought he had the potential to be a great president, and then, of course, he was assassinated. i was somewhat disillusioned by the time he was assassinated. but why didn't i write about john f. kennedy? maybe i did at some point. i don't know. i think what happened is that he was out of the picture, as he had been gone, before i started writing steadily on current affairs, which really began in the late '60s, early '70s. c-span: today do you still have a

it was a party that would be ronald reagan's party, newt gingrich's party and i would argue, in many ways, it's the tea party. there is a philosophical, funneled mental break it was no longer a party raising questions about how government functioned. it was a libertarian way about the role of government in our lives. they would government was too intrusive and laid down markers that 50 years later, very cloeft to t to the heart of mod he were republicanism. >> we will hear from governor rockefeller in a moment and senator barry goldwater. this is a fascinating look back 50 years ago. he had to endure the full ho hostillery. you are coming out with a few book "on his own terms: the life of nelson rockefeller." talk about this. >> it opens with this scene, the defining moment in the history of the party and it certainly is a defining moment in the life of nelson rockefeller. this is history with the a face on it. this is nelson rockefeller, the man that the right loved to hate, in effect, taunting the majority in at a time cal palace over this particular issue of the force of the repub

and michael reagan, ronald reagan's son said you get a real insight into my dad from this book. why? because other books say he did this on this day and signed this but they don't show his mind at work. and this shows his mind at work minute by minute and his character in play. >> host: so the notes from the summit, in addition to the other documents that you consulted, where are they? where did you find the material? is this available to the general public if you want to go look at this? >> guest: some is at the reagan library, some is online, some is at reykjavik, and it has been scattered around. what made this -- the more i looked at it what made this such a wonderful story is first of all the story. this is a weekend, a stormy weekend in october, with rain lashing at the window seal in a creaky old house in the middle of nowhere in a desolate place, iceland. and said to be haunted. neighbors call it the haunted or ghost house rather than the house. and if the hofty was haunted they said ghost were most welcome. so over the weekend, the most amazing things happened. and they

and ronald reagan turned white.ust kind of rocked back on his heels, and he started explaining to me this was proposition 1 which became prop 13, his signature initiative -- >> oh! >> it was defeated as prop 1, it passed as prop 13. it was the first day he was kicking off the signature initiative -- and he starts telling me, i don't have a copy, it's all handwritten. what i'm hearing is in a very nice way he's blowing me off. so i'm looking at this grinning kid with the camera, and i'm looking at reagan telling me you can't have the speech, and i get an idea. and so -- i just go like this -- [laughter] just standing there, and i says, you know, yeah, governor, i understand. you spent three hours on it. i know all about three hours, governor, that's how long i waited for you to ask finish. [laughter] but if you can't, you can't. reagan, reagan goes like this, he goes, okay, you can have it. and i went just like this, you're no god damned good if you don't autograph it. [laughter] reagan just looks at me, gets in the

that supported the president's first campaign in the searc sear him four years later in favor of ronald reagan. this is just over an hour. >> welcome. it's a pleasure for me tonight to introduce randall who is the family professor of arts and sciences at dartmouth college. i have followed his career for a long time. his undergraduate work was done where my father was 18 and my brother attended that school at the same time and randy has turned into one of our great modern american historians. one of the things that makes him great is that he minds the resources of the presidential libraries. he has come here to the carter library and has gone through and found a very interesting document that other people have not seen before and he has done that at other presidential libraries. combined with that he is also mind the resources of the archives on various evangelical organizations that have become involved in politics. and in addition to that on top of his research skills come he is an excellent writers i've had the privilege of reading many of his books including the one that's just come out. an

ronald reagan in the period of time when ronald reagan was in office, we had an actively four or five civil wars going on in south america. four or five in south africa. iran/contra scandal was going on. he sent missiles to the iranians. we lost 2,000 marines in one day one reagan's watch. so please you got to look at history. you just can't say -- a lot of bad things going on now? there have been for years. i want to know a period you think that's more tranquil than this. generally. >> i think the period after, you know, maybe reagan's third, fourth, fifth year in. he solved the cold war. he solved -- to say that ronald reagan is responsible for, you blown to smithereens. designee sent them up there. >> they blew the barracks up. >> i want to get greg in here. >> i'm thinking about what i'm going eat. >> let me ask you this. let's just say the world is always messy. the difference being president obama inherited the leader of the free world and one of the complaints from some people is he has declined to assume that position and drive it home. >> yeah. he is doing something by doing

i wasn't as if ronald reagan was high strung in 1983.ny critics said his delayed response days after the downing of the south korean jetliner was problematic. you allergy when he did speak and when any president speaks after a disaster of this magnitude, it better count for something. >> it should count for something. because the american people are listening and they're questioning and looking for some guidance here. back in 1983, we didn't have the 24-7 news cycle. so the news conference was different back then. today we don't in the whates going on behind he scenes. is some of this milder language because of what may be going on, negotiation-wise. we did not know and the american people didn't know that reagan just corresponded through letters with the soviet premiere and they were going to agree to talk privately. no one knew that at the time. that fell by the wayside with the plane crash in 1983. so you don't know what is going on. seems like president obama could step it up some and not hurt himself. even in his own style and way o

ronald reagan won the cold war without firing a shot. he was able to fire people through trade -- inspire people to trade and martin sabo as what brought down the berlin wall and finally brought down the soviet union. as for world war ii that was an outcome of the first world war which is a totally unnecessary intervention, similar in fact to the interventions we've seen over the past decade. that's the prosecution case, and we will now proceed. [applause] >> very good. thank you, mr. mccarthy. just a you know, sometimes right before i have criminal intent i have pre-mens rea syndrome. [laughter] for chile i'm not suffering from that tonight or you would all be host. no, he didn't, right? are you listening to that and like, what? take you very much. now we'll hear from mr. dinesh d'souza, the defendant attorney in this case. mr. d'souza, are you prepared to get more opening statements because i am. >> very good. >> so, this is a debate about american foreign policy. not a debate about obama's foreign policy. it's not a debate about the p

you would be entitled to do what ronald reagan did. do you know what ronald reagan did? his vacation and flew back to washington, d.c. they didn't have all the facts either, but he said and wrote about it in his diary that he didn't want to do it but he knew he had to. he knew he needed to end his vacation in california, go back to washington, d.c. and show his resolve in the face of aggression. that is not what happened tonight. >> and he talks about how he spent the whole day writing that speech draft after draft sitting next to the white house pool because he wanted to get it just right. he thought he'd go for a swim and burn off steam and decided i can't do it. i've got to keep writing this speech and make it just right. i want to ask you this because the president -- president obama in his defense may be trying to telegraph, you know, keep calm. terrorism only works if it terrorizes you. like i'm going to go about and do my thing, you go about and do your thing, americans don't really want to be terrorized. they don't want the fear of god put in them. they want more

you could see from his speech he was back to ronald reagan but for that hour he certainly was not. >>ost: the way he was portrayed in the press as she detailed the book in the immediate aftermath of the summit is that reagan had walked away from the deal of the century. gorbachev had effectively proposed scrapping all nuclear weapons and reagan said no. but you agreed with reagan's turning to deal down and you still agree with that i take it. >> guest: i did. i did not know how important was going to be. i thought on balance he was right that we would go back to the nuclear side and we should keep our options open on sdi but you know i thought sdi was going to be important to reinforce the tradition. reagan did want anything to do with deterrence. he wanted to protect the united states with the shoe against incoming missiles. i had no idea and i said that in the book. i had no idea that is was going to start a chain reaction that was going to -- no one would have imagined that because what happened was orphaned child gets back into sissoko my god two things. number one sdi this guy re

[applause] >> i am interested to hear that you have a distinction between ronald reagan for policy or johnson or bush or a militaristic president? >> in terms of the effective foreign policy ronald reagan because he was seen as strong put missiles in germany which prevented the soviets from intimidating and the first time a communist regime was overthrown from the outside and even though it was a small operation is sent a signal to the overall the u.s. was becoming a major player again. but by the time the first iraq war came along, it was completely transformed hand in terms of lyndon johnson and look at vietnam and books were written about this, if that was treated as the insurgency with a handful of people instead of trying to recreate the battlefields of vietnam there was a different result even in 1972 the vietnamese took a major offensive they beat them. we threw that a way. you could say we should not have been there in the first place but we then threw it away. >> you have one minute with this witness. >> do you not think we did see the counter insurgency strategy is in iraq t

[laughter] now back to ronald reagan. who knew that better than one of the closest confidants. what do you make of what we see? where there is so will there is the way. >> it is wonderful. i love that the union voted to reduce their own pension. it is the right thing to do. then look at michigan. at the end of 2012 the unions put in a measure to amend the constitution to be a forced union state writing on obama as coattails the and they lost. then rick schneider passed right to work was for michigan. to be the start performing state in the nation because of the government responding to the problem you hit the nail on the head. neil: do think those workers were not doing this out of a generous spirit but survival figuring as chris christie warns them in new jersey i am looking now for your pensions because you will lose them? >> i think a lot of them understand what was going on those who did elect ronald reagan 1980 and 1984. and right now just like all the rest of us. they know the pensions were wrong and they want to you change it to make it fair for everyone i am very much i

ronald reagan, we can just talk about iran-contra.lot of stuff either. >> no, no, no -- >> let's be careful about who he should model himself after. president obama was elected to get us out of conflicts, not into them. the point i think here is that the president there has been so much division here in washington, when does this senate intelligence commitet and house intelligence committee leave all of this garbage at the water's edge and support the the president because it would seem to me that the president will need some support right now in demanding accountability from vladimir putin instead of us getting in a political squabble in our country about what we should do as far as policy is concerned. somebody shot that airplane down and the super power of the globe deserves to have some answers on this. >> i agree, ed, but it can't be us solo. we need to get the world community against russia. it can't be the united states of america all of the time. reagan did not call for military action and he didn't call for sanctions and he w

and it's -- they have this very sort of gauzy, hazy memory of ronald reagan, right?s. and a whole lot of stuff apparently just didn't happen in their world. so, you know, benghazi happens and this is the worst thing, you know, that's ever happened and forget about the marine barracks that happened, of course, 250 americans killed. it was a security lapse. but somehow it's not -- >> and the response -- >> forgotten. >> the reagan response was to just walk away. >> was to walk away. to simply -- >> no one paid a price for it. >> it wasn't, we're going to track them down and bring them to justice, it was we're out of here. >> and john kerry made an important point, david gregory rattling off a list of things in which russia is cooperating fully with the united states, very important issues, including involving syria. and that's a level of complexity that most of the washington commentators about this refuse to acknowledge. that there could be more than one thing you're trying to accomplish with vladimir putin. >> exactly, how do you forget. >>> chaos, confusion and char

she served under ronald reagan and just got back from the ukraine. our reaction to president reagan's reaction as opposed to president obama's reaction? >> president reagan, this was a seminal when the soviet union shot down, deliberately, a korean civilian airliner. reagan understood at that point no compromise with the russians. this was a different system. it was corrupt, bankrupt. it was doomed to failure. so reagan at that point realized he had to redouble efforts to continue the reagan defense build-up. he had so accelerate efforts for the star wars civil defense program. he knew he had to get european allies to say you can stand against the soviet union and he had to rally the american people behind him. six years later, the soviet union collapsed. >> a lot of people say listen, russians are our allies now. it's not black and white, we're trying to get them into the world community and after all, this is really a problem that's happening way away from us. >> you're absolutely wrong. if you listen to the speech that vladimir putin gave to the ru

neil: ronald reagan signed onto that. >> yes, ronald reagan did that. but the republican party does have solutions. we want to secure the border first. neil: but it is frustration, i guess as you all point out it's frustration and producing the reaction that steph got. >> my frustration is with the democratic party for not coming to the middle on this. neil: that's shocking. when we come back, another day, yet another crash. not our markets. i'm talking our planes. what do you make of that? and why people are getting increasingly leery about all of this? after this. really... so our business can be on at&t's network for $175 dollars a month? yup. all five of you for $175. our clients need a lot of attention. there's unlimited talk and text. we're working deals all day. you get 10 gigabytes of data to share. what about expansion potential? add a line anytime for 15 bucks a month. low dues... great terms... let's close. introducing at&t mobile share value plans... ...with our best-ever pricing for business. when folks think about wthey think salmon and en

second term ronald reagan. but these days-- (cheers and applause) these days, folks, california is an ungovernable mess. >> california is an entire state filled with cities either clearly failing or on the verge of disaster. >> california is going broke. businesses are fleeing the state in droves. >> california's prison system is just an absolute nightmare. >> the education system in california is ranked 46th in america and we're number one in poverty. >> california a blaze, three more fires break out in northern california. >> you see that, even governor jerry brown is now burning the state done forth insurance money. but folks there is a great new plan. you're going to love this. a great new plan to make california whole again by breaking it apart. >> a petition to break california into six separate states has attracted over a million signatures. >> the measure to break it into 6 state could be headed to 20915 ballot. >> stephen: it's about damn time they break upical call because i was tired of waiting for t

. >> ronald reagan passed immigration reform and you loved ronald reagan. let's go ahead and do it. >> reporter: the president looked to elicit support from governor rick perry who sent a letter in 2012 warning about the problem. on capitol hill homeland secretary jeh johnson testified about why they need $4 billion. >> given the add transportation cost, customs and border patrol will run out of money by december. >> reporter: it's a tough sell to the senate appropriations committee. >> how can you come to us with a budget request if you don't know how many courts it's going to take to speed up the president. >> this is not a complete plan to me. >> reporter: the administration is likely to face an even tougher sell in the republican-controlled house where the battle lines are already drawn. >> this is a problem of the president's own making. he's been president for 5 1/2 years. >> reporter: while the justice department waits for some to be hired, those are prioritizing the cases of unaccompanied children. craig boswell, cbs news, capitol hill. >>> house re

. >> this is ronald reagan.ful, yes. >> what's the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear ronald reagan? >> wasn't he an actor? >> bonzo. >> he cared about this country. what's his most famous line? >> the broccoli? >> i do not like broccoli. >> is that nixon? >> is she right? >> oh, my god. that is so embarrassing. my parents, if they see this. >> off with her head. >> have you ever watched "the o'reilly factor?" >> all the time. >> anything you want to say to bill? >> keep on truckin' >> just keep speaking the truth. >> what up? >> he's a liar. >> what did he lie about? >> it's not that he lies but he holds back on the truths. >> are you a ron paul guy? >> i like ron paul. >> i knew it. >> i didn't know you wanted to get involved with the discussion, mr. helper. >> mr. o'reilly is very charming. >> do you ever watch "watter's world"? >> no. >> do you ever watch "the o'reilly factor?" >> there was a poll about who was the best american president. who took it and how did it turn out? >> it was a gallu

. >> i was covering ronald reagan at that time.nta barbara at his ranch when this happened. and quite frankly, he didn't want to leave. his advisers realized how terrible this looked and eventually persuaded him he had to fly back to washington and had to make the speech to the nation, but it did take him four days. [laughter] >> jon: [clears throat] yes, reagan's response to that catastrophe was u remarkable, it was enough to make us forget what actually happened. [laughter] which is that reagan grudgingly cut short his 25-day vacation after being caught on camera riding a horse. you know what, don't take my word for it. let's read from his actual diary about the incident. [clears throat] [as ronald reagan]: friday, september 2nd, the soviets shot down an airliner with 53 americans, including congressman larry mcdone nasmed we realized we couldn't wait to leave as scheduled. we left on friday. it was heartbreaking -- i had really looked forward to those last three days. punctuation reagan. yes. reagan was in deep mourning for losi

because just like ronald reagan, they are not going to be able to do anything about it i can't think of one single thing you talk about that airplane with reagan. i don't see it let's leave that aside. the point here is that this is, this i believe, will be the unraveling of putin. i think that we were the only ones to put on sanctions. obama was the only person who step forward. all those others wouldy -- wussy countries didn't do it. give them oil if they need it. this is going to be a real unraveling for putin. both domestically and internationally. >> it looks like a strengthening of putin though. >> shooting down of civilian airplane. >> president obama says military action is not on the table. >> why should have to be afraid of. >> what are you going to do? invade ukraine? it's like listening to john mccain? shoot your mouth off all you want. in the opposition easy to say he is weak. >> just move the troops close there. >> i see, okay. >> not a bad idea. but also go at them where it really hurts russia. the thing that could hurt russia is the petra dollar, if you go ahead and su

and ronald reagan won. am i right in that?mney -- romney got more -- a larger percentage >> schieffer: it did not sound right. these things happen. he got a larger percentage of the white vote than ronald reagan did yet he lost the election. but you had barack obama in this race in 2012. he is not there this time. will that make a difference? >> well, we have evidence that it's not just obama. obama as a candidate matters but if you look at elections some midterm elections it seems that voter turnout among african-americans has risen. and of course we have vastly more latinos and asian americans groups that vote democratic. as john pointed out the groups do not vote in midterm elections. it will be a task of the democratic turnout machine in 2014. >> having said that we see historically that people that go to the polls and disapprove vote 80% or more against his party's congressional candidate. to that extent yes he is on the ballot. >> that is right. and many of the states, it's not these are not heavily minority majority sta

while he was out there, ronald reagan said, i am going to get a screen test. got a screen test, became an actor, won the cold war. all because of the cubs. he came to my house i think six times. he was a great raconteur. told incessantly a story about how he was re-creating cubs games to the telegraph. the telegraph would say, strike one, strike two, pops out the short. and the line broke. ragan decided not to say the line broke but the stall. he had some batter up there. until the line got reestablished, he would say, fouled off another pitch. when it started again, he would pick up with the broadcast. >> did you have barack obama at your house? >> i did. >> any other presidents? >> george w. bush, i got him together with some historians. including jim mcpherson. he was interested. he is a big reader of history. >> do you do pick up the phone and say, mr. president, come to my house? >> i got to know ronald reagan before he was president. he liked to get out. out of the bubble of the white house. george w. bush was interested in this. so i suggested it. barac

. >> this is ronald reagan.t comes to your mind when you hear ronald reagan? >> wasn't he an actor? >> he cared about this country. >> what's his most famous line? >> the broccoli. no, that's george bush. >> i do not like broccoli. >> is that nixon? >> is she right? >> oh, my god, that is so embarrassing. my parents, if they see this -- >> off with her head. >> you ever watch "the o'reilly factor"? >> all the time. >> anything you want to say to bill? >> just keep speaking the truth. >> what up. >> i love o'reilly. >> he's a liar. >> but he gave you a speaking part, nobody cares. >> what's o'reilly lied about? >> it's not that he lies, but he holds back on some truths. >> are you a ron paul guy? >> i like ron paul. >> i knew it. >> i didn't know you wanted to get involved with the discussion mr. halper. >> do you ever watch watters' world? >> no. >> the only electronic equipment i have is a record player. >> are you like going back in time? >> we need to get back to 1985. >> how are you doing, bill? i'm a patrio

. >> ronald reagan passed immigration reform. you love ronald reagan. let's go ahead and do it. i mean, what changed? i'm just sayin'. >> he knows, molly ball, what changed and that's not helpful either. republicans remembered the reagan bill where they granted amnesty to a lot of undocumented people and said they'd improve border security and the second part never came. if the president wants to get a deal that language isn't going to help. >> it's almost silly that we're even still having this conversation whether the president can get a deal. this has been over for a long time. it's coming up again because there is now a border crisis, but i think immigration reform has been off the table for basically the better part of this year, and so that's part of why i think the president feels liberated to go off on the republicans when he made his speech about the executive actions that he was planning to take, feels like a century ago but really just a couple of weeks ago, the reason he did that, he had finally given up hope and finally been told the house republicans weren't going t

i mean, the people that criticize the ronald reagan era for bankrupting the country. >> guest: well, it--it really is colemack .. >> head. >> and i think when i feel strong guest about those pages and there are not that many end my personal feelings and beliefs being a father and husband, these came from the bottom of my spiritual but so to speak with a personal relationship to those that they don't have to more philosophical. >>c-span: where do you write? >> on my map by my hand at home.úuÑ >>c-span: have you always done it that way? figures ago used to typet(. >> i found riding with a yellow pad was much more relaxing. >>c-span: is there a certain time of day? >> only in the morning. at my discretion. >>c-span: is there a way that you prepare? do you spend? >> i brooded, meditates, sometimes i actually take notes i will take something long but i will write a shorter piece. i just do it some days and right in and see what happens. >>c-span: you wrote a piece and joseph mccarthy that made people react strongly. >> i was telling of the mccarthy goings on i was anti-mccarthy and i was

the president at the time was ronald reagan. ronald reagan did not call for military action or sanctions. do you think president obama will go to the right of ronald reagan? >> i think what we've seen from the president is he has connist sently called for more sanctions. i think that we as the united states can do more and we need to do more in concert with our european allies and partners. while i agree that it's clear that russia is both directly and indirectly responsible for the plane shot down by separatists, we've got to look at this in a bigger picture. this was on the ukraine sovereignty and any conventional warfare tactics used in invading ukraine cannot be countered by ukraine. so we've got to look to see what support we can give through taking action through very harsh financial and economic sanctions against russia but also seeing what kind of military aid, training, and equipment we can provide to the ukrainians and others so they can counter these tactics with unconventional warfare because that's the obama way tha
