in 1980, he became a key leader in ronald reagan's presidential campaign and knew there was going to happen, just a question of time. after reagan's victory he oversaw the presidential transition. in the new administration edwin meese was appointed counselor to the president, the only white house staff member included in reagan's cabinet. in that position he drove sweeping reforms of the executive branch and insured the department's work together to achieve the administration goals and was a star. and the administration implemented tax cuts, dramatic defense buildup, to defeat communism and help spearhead an initiative to fight organized crime and supported a task force on victims of crime and shared the first meeting on missile defense over the strategic defense initiative, a strategy that helped win the cold war. president reagan nominated edwin meese to the attorney general. we have the attorney general with us. in the course of a grueling nomination, you showing critical grace and grit, tried to derail the nomination but edwin meese stayed strong at after 13 months he was finally

that was ed meese during the transition before ronald reagan was even sworn in. ed meese then became a staffer during the reagan white house as a white house official. he got himself involved in further scandal. he came under investigation by a court-appointed special counsel, who looked at him for multiple allegations of corruption, specifically, ed meese was alleged to have given a whole bunch of different people jobs in the administration after those people had provided him various forms of financial assistance. so when ronald reagan said, after all of that scandal, that he would put ed meese in charge of the justice department and make him the top law enforcement official in the country, this good government group, you know, common cause, run by archibald cox of watergate investigation fame, they took a hard look at ed meese's record, including the independent special counsel's report on those allegations of corruption against meese as a white house official. meese was not criminally charged after that independent counsel did that investigation into him. and b

the ronald reagan they remembered is not exactly the ronald reagan of history. >> martha: let me put up susan right here because i think it's an interesting comparison to take a look at how democrats felt when president trump decided it was time to leave iraq. she was a secretary of state. she said this is among the most dishonest, craven statements ever from trauma. to justify this, we need to find out why -- what did he get in exchange for sacrificing our national security. we should point out that was a retweet of the reporter jennifer griffin. >> it's true -- it's truly trump derangement syndrome. when president obama got us out of the iraq war which i was four, tens of thousands of troops were removed. it was a significant end of the war and i was for him to. the thing is, president trump moved 50 soldiers around other condemning the resolution. the republicans who voted for this should be ashamed. it's ridiculous. they are voting to condemn their own president for moving 50 soldiers around. most of these are republicans who say article two of the constitution gives the presiden

the fire, fuelled by winds gusting up to 70mph, surrounded the ronald reagan presidential library ande easy fire. but putting it out is proving to be anything but. we're just at the entrance of the ronald reagan presidential library, and you can see how strongly the wind is blowing the flames in directions all around. they're fighting the fires here, but it's the wind that is the greatest enemy. while this fire trebled in size to consume more than 1,300 acres injust two hours, others continued to burn in the celebrity—studded hills of los angeles. there are pleas for the public to be vigilant as new fires are sparked every hour, but optimism that the strongest santa ana winds for more than a decade could soon start to abate. now we're going to see we're on the back end of that wind, we're going to see the activity start to reduce, and we do have sufficient resources to jump on new fires and continue to fight the fires that we also have in place. in northern california, authorities say the kincaid fire, which has consumed more than 120 square miles around santa rosa, is now 30% contain

susan: what is the reality in the 40 years since ronald reagan's legislation?ow many undocumented immigrants have come from the southern border of the u.s.? dr. kraut: we can't count them and we don't know with any great precision how many people are in the u.s. in an unauthorized fashion at any given moment. we know that during the period of the recession, after 2008, the number went down. we believe it went from approximately 11 million down to below 9 million. and then it has buoyed back up again as the economy improved. one of the things about migration is it is not a casual decision, it is a very serious decision that people are making to put their lives at risk to try and go to another country and break the country's by breaking the country's laws by entering the country. at a time when a country is in the economic doldrums, you are less likely to take the risk van at a time when jobs are plentiful. you can get a job working in construction, on lawns, a more skilled position depending on your skill set. it is not surprising in the least to see that as the

i looked up to the gipper ronald reagan as a hero.ut my life changed when i truly understood what my parents had lived through. because my father was a great athlete. he was on the national crew team for hungary when he was arrested by the communists and they never broke him. so he was a great bear of a man, he loved to swim, and on that day as i was sitting on the sand with my g.i. joe's he came out of the ocean, this amazing figure of a man, and i looked at him and i saw something i hadn't realized before. he had these lines on his ribs, these white lines. i knew he was far too young to be wrinkled on his wrists. so like a foolish child i asked him, hey, dad, what's that? without skipping a beat, no emotion, he responded, well, son, that's where the secret police bound my wrists together with wire behind my back so they could hang me from the eiling of the torture chamber. that's when my life changed forever. why? because from that sentence onward, i knew at a deep, deep is l in my soul that evil in the at evil exists hearts of men,
