and ronald reagan was never asked if he supported same-sex marriage because in ronald reagan's time, the idea was completely unthinkable and anybody in the 70s were the 60s were the 80s who would have advocated same-sex marriage would have been hauled off to the lunatic asylum. no one was even thinking about that. so he was never even asked about that. but he would again and again to talk about the idea for marriage. he said marriage is that loving lifelong relationship between husband and wife that his marriage. he said they should look to the divinthatdivine institution basn biblical and natural law and he even went so far to take and imagine a president saying this and the trouble he would get into that the ultimate model is the holy family of mary joseph and jesus. but he said the family is the mother and fathe the father ande lifelong relationship with the child. the conservatives on an issue like marriage would think about what our ancestors had to say and what look at marriage from a tradition and natural law perspective. conservatism is first and foremost about conserving. yo

ronald reagan was a voracious reader. he read all of the memos. all of the decision memos we all talked about. but the key to reagan was listening to the arguments in person. as an actor, he looked at people's eyes and heard their tone, and he could start sorting out what really added up, and he never liked the argument, mr. president, this is the best politics for you. he would end the conversation. the answer was make sure at our level that he had the right options and let them argue it out with the oval office, and then later he would make a decision. >> david? >> well, i think, and some of it has to do with the input, right? so there is so much information, and part of the staff job is to filter the information but filter it fairly so he gets a feel for the sweep of arguments, and obama, one of the things that has been very good for him in the presidency is that he had been a legislator for 11 years before he became president, so he was either in springfield or washington. this was the first time in his life he was actually living with his fami

ronald reagan's greatest strength. he knew why he ran for the presidency, and he knew what he would do once he was president. he would focus the country and on the united states rebuilding its economy and creating respect for america around the world. cutting the rate of spending increase, cutting taxes, rebuilding our national security, building up, and finding over burdensome regulations to eliminate. ed all eightcus years to those priorities. he was able to put in practice, along with the private sector, obviously, 18 million new jobs in an economy that he inherited that with double digit inflation, double digit interest , and america was, as jimmy carter said, suffering malaise. at the end of the carter administration, most people suggested that the presidency might be too big in this modern era for any one person. they stopped saying that with and for all of the presidents who served thereafter. ronald reagan also understood that he was elected not just to make statements but, in fact, to govern and get things don

i mean, senator, you're no ronald reagan. do you really think that rand paul has the chops that -- >> so what was the key to reagan pulling it off? what did he do that allowed people to say, yeah, i know his opponents are saying he had the exact opposite position two years ago, he said something completely contradictory a year ago, and they just ignored it. what was it about -- >> over and over and over again, you know, kind of going back -- not even to the beginning of his political career, but even before the beginning of his political career, he developed this ability to kind of perform kind of calmness in the face of chaos. this kind of blithe affect, this ability to kind of project a mythology that he kind of really did believe in his part. don't you remember what he said in 1987, when he was confronted with the fact that he had, in fact, ordered, you know, arms to be traded for hostages in iran? he said, well, the documents tell me i did it, but my heart tells me that i couldn't have possibly have done it. >> that's the

coming up to many people ronald reagan is a hero of the man who made them feel good about being american again but did reagan's gift at making people feel proud of their country actually make it harder for the u.s. to solve its problems more on that with historian rick perlstein and it's conversations of the great minds right after the break. well. it's technology innovation all the developments around russia we've got the future covered. well you like me you want your comedy news with some t one to comedy news to be a bare fisted no holds barred fight to the death. but the truth vampire biting into the next of the corporate elite billionaire freaks well they're going. well that's what you get with my new show redacted the night. which writes conversations of great minds and joined by one of america's leading historians hailed by the nation magazine as the hyper caffeinated herat of those of the american century pearlstein is the award winning author of a series of books on the birth of modern american conservatism is newest book the invisible bridge the fall of nixon of the rise of reag

so it really seems like it's all about his anger at ronald reagan. aving a lot of fun with it, actually. >> you think the incentive here is he's trying to protect rooinronald reagan from a liberal historian? >> i can't see into his heart, but there's two things i want to say. one is that it's a good book. anyone interested in ronald reagan should buy his two books. >> craig shirley's book? >> he wants to have my book pulped, i want his book read. the other thing is, it's completely backfiring. his -- whatever the motive is behind this attack, it's so thin, there's a great article in salon by david dian, that folks can look up, it's so transparent, just from today, my book went from 60 on amazon to the 20th rank on amazon. and i'm having so much fun, this outpouring of love, i started this hashtag, buy invisible bridge. >> it's getting the craig shirley bounce. we'll sell maybe a few more here, give it a promotion, rick perlstein, author of "the invisible bridge," thanks for being here tonight. >> great piece of rand paul. you guys did a great job. >>

they were right and yeah that comes straight from ronald reagan but it's a very traditional idea on the right what's even more attributable to reagan is this hysteria on the right that anyone who kind of holds america to the same moral rules as the rest of the world or even makes an argument that america can't magically achieve whatever it wants whenever it wants doesn't believe in quarter and quote you know the phrase american exceptionalism. so if if. modern progress is and liberals don't understand the world view of modern conservative is their duty to repeat it how can we engage what is the progress of my books obviously i'm with you. but you know what is it what is it that we need to really understand at the surface it almost sounds like conservatives are believing this beaver cleaver fantasy and they're just you know they lack nuance and they're naive you and i both know that's not the case all right well of course the leaders are quite conning when it comes to tactic and strategy but often they have a share the same kind of naive faith in you know the inherent goodness of america

the amount of spending has gone down by well over 50% from when ronald reagan increase that, and the increased from about 4% to 6% of gross domestic product >> let me take a risk as an attorney and ask you a more problematic scenario. looking back in retrospect on iraq what if bush had not invaded, not gone into nation-building but done something like this, that there are some very bad guys in the world that have done this to us and we don't know exactly who they are but we do know they have come out of the middle east and motivated by islamic radicalism, so we will go grab are really bad guy, saddam hussein to man beat his head repeatedly into the ground after which we will then leave. if we had done that, not making this decade-long investment in iraq but essentially sent the message that there is a new sheriff in town and we will put up with this kind of nonsense, would that be a better way to go that what we did? which it could have been. it probably would have if you look at it. the pottery barn analogy. when you break if you buy it. >> stupid analogy. >> no because what what ha

to ronald reagan, these americans were never forgotten. rom the beginning, he built his politics around a profound respect for the honest, hardworking men and women who made america work. many of these americans, like reagan himself, believed government should stand on the side of the little guy against unfair concentrations of political and economic power. they still believed that. and so did reagan. it's just that by the late 1970s, the democratic party's leadership in washington had gone washington. the new left did not oppose, but had come to enjoy, the unfair privileges of concentrated power. the ruling class in washington not only ignored working families' interests, but openly disparaged their values. now, reagan knew that while middle class americans were disillusioned with washington democrats, they were equally suspicious of washington republicans, with good reason. liberalism may have been failing, but to many americans in the late 1970s, conservatism was at best a cobwebbed theory. reagan needed a way to transform this anti-libe

former white house press secretary to ronald reagan, james brady, has died at the age of 73. n advocate for gun control after he was permanently disabled in an assassination attempt on reagan's life back in 1981. a federal law requiring a background check on handgun buyers bears his name. brady's family saying today, "we are enormously proud of jim's remarkable accomplishments before he was shot on the fateful day in 1981 while serving on the side of president ronald reagan and in the days, months and years that followed. jim brady's zest for life was apparent to all who knew him and despite his injuries and the pain he endured every day, he used his humor, wit and charm to bring smiles to others and make the world a better pace. former white house press secretary james brady passing away after an extraordinary life. we'll talk to ed meeks in a moment about this. >>> in california, one person is dead and thousands are stranded after a massive mudslide in the southern part of the state this morning. thick layers of mud and rock covered the roads cutting off at least two small m

we all go back to ronald reagan, we got ronald reagan. when ronald reagan came to office, that wasn't the message. it was a new message. he wasn't going for eisenhower did this, we are going to do that eisenhower did. it was a new message. we are stuck. now, are these bad messages? no, i'm not suggesting they are bad messages but the problem ronald reagan was dealing with our different than what we are dealing with today. he said you're using the same message i used 40 years ago what are you doing. haven't you looked at america and see a different america than we have 40 years ago? of course it was very different. i got a first mortgage in 1982 for the house. you know what i paid for an interest rate cut iowa's a first-time homebuyers and i got i got adiscounted rate. 17.5%. mortgages are 20%. that is stagflation. you have 70% tax rates. cut taxes? at 70%, that is a big deal. but when it is a 38% rate of pay cuts 38 to 34. really, that's your platform? that's pretty minimalist when it's close to 73 coup 30. he had big ideas at the time be

i don't know if there is any secret sauce so to speak in terms of nominating or electing a ronald reagan type. i will say this, that for recent presidential elections, maybe ever since reagan, we have had a few but only a few top-tier really high-level limited government constitutional conservatives running for president. we have had some good people but quite frankly they weren't people that were going to get the nomination. in 2016 we have got a different problem. in 2016 i think we are going to have a traffic jam of top-tier high-level quality candidates running. my concern as that we split the conservative vote half a dozen different ways. this is a serious danger. we have many many of the early primary states are in the northeast and the northeast it's winner takes all. so if the establishment candidate gets 30% and the republicans get 20% they get 100% of the delegates. then you go down to the south and it's proportional so that candidate goes in there there and the big government candidate gets 30% and they get 30% of the delegates on mike the northeast. sometime next year conserv

forbes, i would be very interested to hear if you find a distinction between ronald reagan's foreign policy and the foreign policy of perhaps lyndon johnson or george w. bush or more conventional militaristic presidents? >> in respect to foreign policy, ronald reagan put in missiles in germany, which prevented the soviets from intimidating what we then called west germany and western europe. he sent troops into grenada, the first time troops were sent in from the outside. even though it was an operation, it sent a signal to the world that the u.s. was becoming a major player again. we had run down the military in the '70s, but by the time the first iraq war came along, it was completely transformed. in terms of lyndon johnson, if you look at vietnam, books have been written about this. if that had been treated as an insurgency with a handful of people instead of trying to recreate a world war ii battlefield in vietnam, there would have been a very different result. even so, by 1972, when the north vietnamese undertook a major offensive in south vietnam, the south vietnamese army beat

the transformation occurred and they counted down, five, four, three, two, and he became ronald reagan looking like a million bucks and doing what he did best. >> did he know you were in the room? >> i suppose he did. reagan was not particularly interested who was in a room as long as there were people in the room. >> and over the times that you met with him, did he know every time when you met with him who you were? >> yeah. yes. i used to think sometimes that he was out to lunch, but you know, one very telling incident. not -- long after he left the white house he came back in the last month of george h.w. bush's presidency to receive the medal of honor, and he was significantly older then. this would have been january of 1994. so i was there with a bunch of the old reagan white house people, and we filed by. 500 of us shaking hands with the old guy. and when i finally shook hands with him, he seemed very distant. his eyes were opaque. i thought, well, he's losing it. but then i heard from fred ryan, his chief of staff, that on the plane back to california reagan said to fred, "you k

the amount of spending that's oo the militaryv has gone down by well over 50% from when ronald reagan increased that, and he dc increased it from about 4% up ta about 6% of gross domestic product. >> let mean take a risk as an attorney an yourokin side and a more problematic scenario. looking back in retrospect on iraq, what if bush had not ome invaded, not gone into nation building but said something like this. that there's some very bad guyse in the world that have done id this. we dont know exactly who they c are but they've come out of the middle east and motivated by is radicalism. we're going to go into thessei e middle of the middle east and ae grab a really bad guy and beat e his head repeatedly into the ot ground after which we will then leave.t i if we had done that, not making this dead cases-long investmentd but essentially sent a message t we're a new sheriff in town, wouldn't that have been a better way to go than what we did? >> it could have been a better way to go. it probably would have, if you look at it again. if y colden powell was used the pottery barn analogy, w

former president ronald reagan. he has endorsed a seven-day waiting period for the purchase of handguns, and president bush may follow. >> he looked and sounded like the ronald reagan of old, but what he said was far from it. this darling of the gun lobby endorsing a gun control bill. >> and i'm going to say it in clear, unmistakable language. i support the brady bill and i urge the congress to enact it. >> all this left the national rifle association all but speechless. day released a terse one-page statement which simply reiterated the nra's opposition to the brady bill. >> it appears now that the nra has lost the white house on this one, but the powerful gun lobby is now expected to turn its sights on congress, where it's enjoyed considerable success in the past. >> that bill that ronald reagan was supporting back then, that bill he supported in defiance of the nra, it was named in honor of james brady. james brady worked for the reagan campaign in 1980. he then came to the white house with reagan to serve as his

in fact, ronald reagan won the cold war without firing a shot culinary firing a shot. he was able to inspire people through trade and moral example, and that is what brought down the berlin wall and the soviet union. as for world war ii, that was an outcome of the first world war, totally unnecessary intervention, similar to that which we have seen over the past decade. that is the prosecution's case, and we will now proceed.

that person became a ronald reagan, elected governor of california in 1966 and four conservatives who were a wing of the party instead of the whole party in our day. reagan became the new champion. who else was there in 1968 on the republican side? former congressman, senator, vice president, presidential candidate, defeated candidate for the opener of california, richard nixon. and someve experiences of us learn from those experiences and some buzz do not. would talk about in detail later on, and he was somebody who learned from experience. he had run against john f. kennedy and he had lost. in part because nixon in 1960 had come to think of television as a gimmick that have worn off and therefore i'm a when he participated and nationally televised debates in that year, he did not take the television aspect of the debate seriously. he also rain his own campaign. he did not delegate or trust. what is the saying about lawyers? a lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client. by 1968, nixon had digested the experience that had led to his defeat. put together a very good team, go

we are able to hear nixon's invites to ronald reagan. was very angry about the diplomacy with china. reagan that we had to stand by taiwan at all costs. >> never give up the panama canal. >> anybody reading this on the right will say, that is the reagan i like. nixon is telling, the liberals don't know if they lose me, they are going to get a revolution of right wingers. i'm the guy holding . -- holding the line. be on me and the republican party, it will be only to the right. he was right. >> ronald reagan. >> reagan -- some people call nixon one of the last new dealers. he still believed government could do things. >> here's ronald reagan and a call to express his disgust with the u.n. vote to admit china and expel taiwan. >> that was a bad vote. we worked our tails off, i must say. 54-59. i just finished a meeting with ted agnew. he is back from greece and turkey. both of whom we got. we did not get iran to review -- ironic. -- we did not get iran. the african countries were disappointing. >> the go. -- there you go. >> it goes on whe

some presidents, like ronald reagan, just didn't go there. reagan told g or pg jokes. nixon would go -- >> over and over. >> yes, over and over. but reagan is part of this book, too, because he calls in as governor and talks to nixon. so we're now able to hear what nixon's advice was -- i mean, what reagan's advice was to nixon. he was very angry about china. reagan thought we had to stand by taiwan at all cost. >> and never give up the panama canal. >> anybody reading this on the right will say, boy, that's the reagan i like. nixon is telling people, the liberals don't know if they lose me they're going to get a revolution of right-wingers, that i'm the guy holding the line, and that the liberals should be loving me and liking me. instead, they can't stand me. but beyond me and the republican party it is going to be only to the right. >> he was right about that. >> ronald reagan. >> reagan was there, and today's modern republican party. reagan, some people will call nixon one of the last new dealers. he still believed government could do things. >> here's ronald reaga

ronald reagan had the vision to see we didn't have to have a stalemate. we could have victory and we got the victory. [applause] >> yeah mr. forbes i would be interested to hear if you find it distinguish between ron reagan's foreign policy in the foreign policy of lyndon johnson or george w. bush or any militaristic president's? >> in terms of effective foreign-policy ronald reagan because he was seen as strong, he put missiles in germany which prevented the soviet -- soviets from intimidating what would then call intimidating what were then called west germany western europe. he sent troops into granada, the first time a communist regime was overthrown from the outside and even though it was a small operation it sends a signal to the world that the u.s. was becoming a major player again. we had run down our military in the 70s but by the time of the first iraq war came along it was completely transformed. in terms of lyndon johnson, if you look at vietnam books have been written about this. if that had been treated as an insurgency with a handful of peo

and maybe the remembrance of two men, james brady and ronald reagan, who came so close to death.know today how close to death ronald reagan was as well, will inspire americans to think, you know, there is absolutely no reason why we have to allow assault weapons, why we can get around the brady background checks in gun shows. none of this affects legitimate gun owners. we need politicians with courage, though, to stand up to special interest groups like the nra who are very much enthralled to the gun manufacturers, who have tremendous money, tremendous lobbying organizations. somehow the will of the american people is being thwarted and maybe with a collective memory the american people can reassert their control over this important public issue. >> we actually have some video, you see it now, of sarah and james brady on the floor of the house. they're obviously talking to nancy pelosi there. he was so beloved across the aisle too. what kind of a response do you expect to see on the hill? >> i expect to see an overwhelming outpouring of grief and affection from all sides. you kno

but the -- i really came to help ronald reagan in his second term. i joined the justice department in 1985, stayed through 1989, which allowed me to serve that first year of the senior bush administration. and then in 2008, after an easter sunday epiphany, i endorsed barack obama, which he wasn't anticipating, and i wasn't anti pating either at the beginning of that campaign because i began as a legal adviser to mitt romney, and left that campaign only after he did, after his defeat in the primary, but i was very distressed, i have to tell you, about the manner which the candidates were treating each other and particularly the way in which mr. romney's religion had been handled, and that caused me to think more broadly, and one person that i discovered in my examination was kind of the ecumenical commune spirit of barack obama which resurrected probably where i began life, i began life as a democrat because my father was a coordinator for one john f. kennedy. you may remember that was a close election, and some people say it was a close election beca

mitchell who, obviously, knew the bradys, looks back on his life. >> reporter: only 69 days after ronald reaganook office. >> shots were fired at president reagan in washington. >> reporter: six shots were fired. the first meant for the president exploded in the head of the white house press secretary james brady. brady had always been known as "the bear." big, irreverent even at his boss's expense. when president reagan said trus produced pollution by carbon monoxide, brady joked about killer trees. above all, brady was trusted. >> i wouldn't tell you something if it wasn't the truth. >> reporter: after he was shot brady fought for his loiven and struggled to speak and to walk. the reagans insisted he keep the title of press secretary and renamed the briefing room in his honor. >> i hope this room is always filled as much integrity and good humor as jim brady has brought to it. >> reporter: nancy reagan joked about reports he gave her the job because he wasn't good looking. >> i keep giving jim my y&h. >> reporter: jim and sarah brady worked against gun violence. the assault weapons ban lasted

and then i think the country as a whole went for ronald reagan and his conservative government, whichn some ways is still in and what i'm hoping for in politics is an awakening. share my hopeless optimism. if you look at what young people today, talking about the so-called millennial's, who came to maturity after the turn-of-the-century, into the 21st century, and they are somewhere between 18 and 30-ish, they have very different views of where the country is and what they want to see, and it is a really interesting mix of conservative and liberal ideas. they are for big government creating jobs for people. on the other and, they want government to let it alone -- on the other hand, they want government to let it alone and let local folks decide things. i find promise in that. it is a little different from woodstock. springsteen and some other voices that are alive .oday they are not distant from what i'm describing. quite a contrast -- contrary. woodstock change -- guest: i think it was already president. some of it with politics is not pretty. it is disgusting. federal government, a

observers reported that it was, in fact, ronald reagan. esident reagan immediately mounted a nearby stallion and began riding toward the white house.
