that's not really ronald reagan.i think that he is someone who is drawn to extremes in a vivid contrast. so the new deal and roosevelt are appealing to him because it is -- it stands for something and it is a compelling cause of the little man and he identifies with that. in the postwar period for a number of personal and political reasons he becomes interested in what he sees as a threat to the communist conspiracy the democratic party is no longer a place for him even though the cold war liberal democrats that are tough on communism, there is too much contradiction and complexity in that. they are right that it's pretty unified anti-communism is a much more clear place for someone of his dramatic sensibility to end it and i think really that is what draws him there. >> what about the impact of his hollywood days not as an actor but as a leader on the screen actors guild figures to union stripes thursday union stripes and there were also ideological divisions that emerge. where was ronald reagan on all that? >> you

reagan is our projected winner. ronaldan't help but recall in 1966 riding around in a greyhound bus with him as he was trying to win the republican nomination for governor of california. a lot of people were laughing at him then in 1966. they0,nú learned in every elec in which he's been allowed, never laugh at ronald reagan. >> magz clip there. that was election night 1980. that, of course, was the greatw tom brokaw recounting ronald reag reagan's rise to the presidency from their first meeting in 1966 which was the same sometime, by the way, of another politician as high height of power, lindon ba lyndon johnson. a new book called "landslide: lbj and ronald reagan" when johnson reigned over the world when ronald reagan was beginning on a course to change politics to this very day. here to tell us what our current leaders can learn and not learn from these two political giants is the book's author, jonathan darman. thanks for being with us. i don't think a lot of people connect ronald reagan and lbj, who are at different

people who believe that say that they are like ronald reagan, then they imagine a round reagan never was. the final thing i might add is the difference between reagan and those who are today his professed airs is that ronald reagan had an immense and effective sense of humor which she used as a very effective tool against the opposition. today's issues are gramm and serious and dreadful. they were not so cheery back in the 1970's either, but reagan was able to use humor in a way that today is somehow dismissed as trivializing serious things. >> if i could follow up on that last point, one of the striking things to me about reagan is the fact that he did conservatism, friendly face. barry goldwater did not have an observable sense of humor . it strikes me -- i don't know if a default setting for conservatives may be just in the nature of conservatives in the united states that they tend to do righteous indignation better than they do other martian. -- than they do with emotion . there was an undercurrent or explicit overcurrent of anger, but reagan took that away. so is reagan may be

ronald reagan tripled the deficit. these are facts. ronald reagan sold missiles to iran. why is ronald reagan considered such a great president? and that's not only -- let me tell you the reason why. it's because so many white people voted for him back during the day. president obama won the election with twice the votes that ronald reagan -- he got over 51%. two times. no president since eisenhower has done this. did me about the facts -- ronald reagan grant amnesty, a republican? dave has put out some historical issues. do you ever do that, look at historical statements made? guest: we have fact checked several statements about ronald reagan. he is kind of invoked from time to time for people to make their political point. on the question of amnesty, there was the landmark immigration legislation that did gived sign that legal status to a lot of people who had been in the united .tates illegally at that time today, a lot of people, you know, look act at that time, you know, it has become a point of contention among republicans. they point to that as something that faile

interesting note, everybody, on that was that barry goldwater was grateful, but also terrified that ronald reaganr went on to a big, big defeat. but he knew if reagan made that speech, that he would electrify the country and he did. they raised about $8 million for that campaign as a result of that one speech. that's gigantic. they shut down the switch boards. >> goldwater started getting panicky before? >> he d. his handlers said, do we want reagan to give the speech? he did and the rest is history. tomorrow we go to the ronald reagan library and museum and see air force one and the state room that the president was in, the berlin wall, lots about the assassination attempt, incredible visit that we had about a week ago to the reagan library and museum. i think you won't want to miss that tomorrow. really an inside look at ronald reagan's career and life and legacy. >> thank you very much for going to california and doing that. 50 years ago today. that was terrific. >> it was an incredible time. >> thank you. >> see you back here tomorrow. >> absolutely. >>> coming up, he left the stands for a ba

ronald reagan rather than being a lame duck, a virtual dead duck for the last two years decided to clean house, get fresh voices. every two-term president needs fresh ideas, fresh voices and strong people. he got howard baker, he got frank carlucci, he got me and he got colin powell. we helped him rebuild those last two years. so in some ways the last two years were the most important two years. strategic arms talks and a treaty with the soviet union. >> is there opportunity for the president, a, to clean house personnelwise and then we've seen him changing the subject, the economy and energy policy. does that work? >> well, obviously enormous scandals like iran/contra causes an enormous shift in the personnel in the white house because that was a scandal that went to the heart of his administration. you don't have that right now, obviously. you have enormous problems that are being put on this administration, some that they can control and some that they are addressing quite well. you're talking about the secret service. you know, i look at that as -- they are a tremendous organization.

taken on the nuclear industry, ronald reagan, powerful legislators in the congress and the lobbies of ge and westinghouse is pretty well insurmountable viewed at that time. the vote came in the senate with 156 to 40. that was the end of the clinch river breeder are. now why did this for? because a new group was formed. it was a very elaborate, which was the umbrella over both sides of the people working under that umbrella went to work every day and they only had the clinch river on their mind. the problem with think tanks like heritage, progressive policy institute, economic policy is two, cato is they've got a lot of issues. all of those groups have come out years ago with attacks on corporate welfare. they put out reports on corporate welfare. but the next stage didn't occur. they didn't get into an operational mode to do something about it. that to me is the problem. unless we start nonprofit advocacy groups that are singularly focused on converging issues, it's not going to happen because everyday people go to work for cato, heritage, public citizen, economic policy is to sue. th

aiken has pointed out ronald reagan passed amnesty. i will be curious to know if my colleague here supports amnesty as well. number one -- one of the things i also want to point out and i would like to answer that because i have been strong with this issue. when we are talking about legislation for immigration reform, before we left washington, we passed a very strong bill that would make sure those children who are coming, they are sent back to the countries of origin. that is where they want to be. the issue with the judges. we pass legislation to take care of that as well. it has not been brought up for a vote in the senate. you seem to be concerned or confused as to whether or not you would take a job in the senate or house of representatives. you would be in the house of representatives, if you were elected. nancy pelosi, she will be the one you will vote for in the house, who would be your boss. >> i am going to stop you there. nancy pelosi would not be your boss, unlike john boehner would be your boss. whoever the speaker is wou

. >> host: peter blair henry survey on the transition team 2008 ronald reagan used as a rising tide lifts all votes of those statements that you agree with? >> guest: the rising tide does not lift all votes but it has not been in their praise so we have to recognize that broad principle could harm the greater good but there are market failures and real also have policies in place to incentivize behavior's so maybe a specific example in the united states we have a tax code that says if you own a house and you take out a loan to buy the house with up to $1 million of debt you can write off the interest payments. we have no such uniform incentive if you make more than $100,000 per year you cannot write off the debt of your child student loan so here is a skewed policy that encourages people to build and buy large houses and that is okay but we don't encourage people to invest in there child's education. sometimes the boat needs a little whole person steering but to play a positive role with the right incentives for people to engage in productive activity i invest in educating children for th

i will never forget when ronald reagan, when reagan was -- and with brought the budget to the floor. i was on the budget committee at the time. we brought the budget to the floor and we lost the budget vote. we lost the budget vote which was devastating to majority party to wind up bringing a budget to the floor and have it be lost. a lot of the southern democrats supported ronald reagan when that happened. and tip didn't miss a beat. he lost it. the republican budget came up. he was passed. he didn't stop it. he didn't shut down the congress. he basically said this place votes by majority rule and it did. he lost the vote that he said we are going to move on and we did. and what was refreshing about him was that i think you really respected the fact that the house is an institution has to have the opportunity to vote on issues and he also believed, and i mean you hear talked about now which is regular order. what regular order means is the way they legislative process is supposed to work. the president sends up a proposal. he goes to the committee, goes to a subcommittee. the subcom

ronald reagan did it very well in the 1980s.s can be done again but i do believe it's the philosophy of governing that employed and a third obama term which ruby clinton or whoever that would keep these things going and this philosophy and the -- that flows flows from that we need to delegate our money and power and decision-making to bureaucracies to run our lives effectively to macromanage society and micromanage the economy. it doesn't work. the whole idea of this country is self-government under the rule of law and we are not seeing self-government and we are not seeing an act equal application of on the private sector is shrinking as result of it. [applause] >> you and i have had fantastic questions over the last few years on a lot of issues but one issue that we have discussed quite a bit as foreign policy. we see things very similarly in the world for our defense program and just the state of things now. i have a few questions i want to ask you. first give us a sense of not just the obama foreign-policy but america's fore
