what would ronald reagan do today? that's what we need. we need a candidate to do what reagan would do. so it's equipped with bracelets. you can go on amazon and buy a wwrd bracelet, a t-shirt, as you can see up here, you can buy yourself a bumper sticker to put on your car. you can buy a mouse pad like the one on the far left that says if we could resurrect him, we would re-elect him. the idea of zombie reagan running in the 2020 primary. but nonetheless, conservatives in 2000 -- from around 2005 to 2016 or so began to really reconstruct reagan as a conservative purest and they began to sort of claim, and it's really sort of maybe even before, that ronald reagan won the cold war by sticking to his conservative principles and that reagan, through his sort of conservatism, is to credit ultimately for the dissolution of the soviet empire and the end of the cold war. today, we're going to bow back in time and look at what conservatives were saying about reagan's policies in the 1980s and how that sort of is quite different from what they claim

but marcus has spent the last five years writing this book on ronald reagan, and ronald reagan has become a signal, he has become an icon for conservative spirit we have the presidential debate for the republican party held at the reagan library. it is a de facto pre requisite for candidates to air their opinion and pay homage to ronald reagan. but, as marcus likes to point out, there is a disconnect between the way conservatives thought about ronald reagan in the 1980's, in his own time and space, and the way reagan has been mythologized, the way we think about reagan today, reagan the icon, reagan the simple. marcus and i were at a philadelphia society meeting once, and we were added reception, and don devine, who was head of these service in the reagan administration, made some comment about the reagan administration to marcus, and marcus said "actually, reagan did not cut domestic spending, " and they got into this argument about how much reagan actually cut, and it was a funny moment, for those of you who have seen don devine on television, the is those who seen donned a violent tele

nancy reagan, who has so movingly represented ronald reagan here tonight. use] president reagan, i know, is in our prayers. president reagan, the great communicator, who gave voice and image to the power of democracy as a way to a better future for all the people in the world. he will be remembered for many things, but for me, this soldier, the soldiers like scott oa brady you heard a few moments ago, the one thing that we will remember more than anything else is that it was president reagan who restored the fighting strength and spirit of america's armed forces. [cheering] i come before you this evening as a retired soldier. a fellow citizen who has lived the american dream to the fullest. as someone who believes in that dream and wants that dream to become reality for every american. my parents came to this country as immigrants over 70 years ago. they came here as have millions of others with nothing but hope, a willingness to work hard, and a desire to use the opportunities given them by their new land. a land which they came to love with all their heart

already, what would ronald reagan do? course after this takes off in 2005 the lead up to the 2008 republican primary, sean hannity in the heritage foundation sort of partner on this, w. w. already. would ron reagan do today? we need candidates to do what reagan would do. he can go and amazon can by wwj brace akin myself a t-shirt as you see here. you can buy a bumper sticker put on your car. you can buy a mouse pilot on the far left, that says if we can resurrect and we would reelect. and the idea of zombie reagan running in the 2020 primary. but nonetheless, conservatives around 2005 to, six began to reconstruct reagan as a conservative purist. an indiana sort of claim, and maybe even before that ronald reagan won the cold war. a sticking to his conservative principles, and that reagan through his conservatism is to credit ultimately for the dissolution of the soviet empire and the end of the cold war. so today what we're gonna do is we're actually gonna go back in time to see what conservatives were actually saying about

and he singles out for criticism private citizen ronald reagan. the president of the united states singles out one person, goes out one out of 240 million people, he singles out reagan. he's just a private citizen. and so, the next day cbs news calls private citizen ronald reagan, and they say, would you like a half hour of national broadcast time to respond to the president of the united states? i mean, it would never happen today, right? >> no. >> so reagan, of course, jumps at the chance. he goes on and gives a half hour speech responding to the president of the united states attacking him over the panama canal treaties. >> let's shift from him attacking the president to his fight then again with the republican establishment of the time embodied in george h.w. bush. >> right. well, is that the party is split. it has been split since the '50s. in '52, eisenhower or robert taft. eisenhower represented the establishment. senator taft, mr. republican, represented the conservative outsiders. then nixon and lodge, goldwater and rockefeller, and then a

the next day, cbs news calls private citizen ronald reagan and they say would you like a half hour ofnational broadcast time to respond to the president of the united states? it would never happen today? right so reagan jumps of the chants and he goes on gives a half hour speech responding to the president of the united states to attacking him over the animal canal treaties. >> let's go from him attacking the president to his fight with the republican establishment at that time embodied in george h. w. bush. >> right. the party is split and it has been split since the fifties. in 1952, eisenhower or robert. soft senator taft represented the republican outsiders. nixon, lodge, goldwater rockefeller and again nixon, rockefeller. but there's always a split in the side center of the republican party bc the conservative outsiders the more moderate insiders. this happens again in 1980. reagan comes as across as the conservative side isn't bush represent seconds the more moderate insiders. this is the future of the party boil down these two individuals. it was a seesaw battle for a while bec

but marcus has spent the last five years writing these books on ronald reagan. he has become an icon for conservatives. we had presidential primary debates within the republican party held at the reagan library. and streeit is a de facto prerequisite to pay homage to ronald reagan. but as marcus likes to point out, isthere is a disconnect between the way people thought of ray began aeagan and how we t him today, way began the symbol. marcus and i were at a philadelphia society meeting once and we were at a reception and don divinebegan the symbol. marcus and i were at a philadelphia society meeting once and we were at a reception and don divine made a comment about the reagan administration and marcus said actually reagan did not cut domestic spending and they kind of got into this argument about how much reagan actually cut. and it was a funny moment for those of you who have seen don divine on television, he is a very animated person and a veried a todvery ad veried a veried a today manhattan person. so it was a very exciting argument to be standing next to. re

i think that ronald reagan said signing the easy divorce law in california, which started that trend, was the worst mistake he ever made. and if you've read michael reagan's book about how he used to sit on the curb of the sidewalk and wait for saturday for his father to come. it's kind of a poignant part of the book. and, but reagan knew that was a mistake. and, of course, it swept across the country after that. with all the country -- with all the states adopting some easy divorce laws. and, yeah, that is a bigger threat. and i think it's also probably a bigger threat than the gay marriage, the way the federal tax laws and spending laws are subsidizing non-marriage. and i've written rather extensively on that on my website. you can look unp a lot of my columns. but the amount of money, federal taxpayers money, that's being put out to subsidize single moms, and the welfare system that says, we'll keep the goodies flowing as long as you don't get married and don't get a job and don't save any money is just a disaster. what the welfare system did under lyndon johnson's war on poverty w

one thining i will say right now is ronald reagan would definitely say two plus two equals five.o question about it. but when you w would say things lilike that, it wowould be off-the-cuff stuff, not the stuff that speechwriters have written.n. whereaeas when donald trump taks thee podium and he is reading te speech, that is when he lies the most adadamantly. it shows thehe kind of line deception propaganda authoritarianism is qualitativively more systematic than under ronald reagan. at the same time that it would not have been possible without ronald reagan and the movement around him kind of priming republican electorate and republican elected officials for and kind of lawlessnessss viciousness. amy: andnd you say that reagan s onone of the most dadangerous president t in u.s. historyry. >> there is no question. whether a guy cuts 80% out of the e public housingng budget in eight years as ronald reagan did with a smile or a scowl, the effect is the same.. the mosost dangerous ththings that ronald reagan didid as president was something we saw all over in this republican convene

bush calling ronald reagan's economic plan voodoo economics and then feeling pretty sheepish when thenald reagan picked him as the next vice president. >> but i call a voodoo economic policy. >> voodoo economics, how candidate george bush described candidate ronald reagan's policy in the 1980 presidential primaries. mr. reagan is now vice president bush's and he said he never said it but the record vividly proves otherwise. >> so we'll be watching when's happening in washington. my focus will continue to be on donald trump but decision 2020 will be all of our focus. you can follow us on twitter. ank you, scott. >>> anyone living in sacramento county in the '70s likely remembers the reign of terror that the east bay rapist left. now deanglo pled guilty to 13 counts of murder in june and expected to be sentenced next week.

post world war ii that an incumbent has lost in our lifetime has been the george hw election and ronald reaganbill clinton was a gifted politician. he had a way to make you feel like the most important in the room. reagan was just a dynamo. biden is neither one of these. if i may add on to your excellent story there. jesse: i love it. keep going. >> here is the problem with biden. not only is he terrible. he obviously has issues. i won't evaluate his psychological situation. if he's going to be holding the nuclear code, he doesn't know what state he's in. he attaches himself to president obama who was terrible too. nobody sane person wants to go back to the obama economy. so he's bad. and who he attaches himself to is even worse. he has nowhere to go. jesse: do you think these are the four pillars of the election, focuses on rebuilding the economy, keeps the streets safe and tells joe you can't handle selling lemonade at the lemonade stand, if he can't do that. with the curveball thrown in. durham is a curve of ball. some manufactured october surprise from the fake news. is that how you see th

[laughter] >> sean: that race ended right there. 49 state a suite by ronald reagan purity so much different response from joe biden. here's his response. again, we see it often, completely incoherent. actually a little hard to watch. actually like barking at a reporter. it's not the first time he's done this. he loses his train of thought. he became totally, completely and utterly confused. fairly common occurrence with joe. take a look. >> please clarify, specifically, have you taken a cognitive -- >> no, i haven't taken a test. why the hell what i take a test? come on, man fear that is like saying you come up for the program you're taking a test whether you are taking cocaine or not? what do you think? >> what do you say to president trump who brags about his test and m

the president was ronald reagan. and ambassador jane kirkpatrick's words are just as true you today. joe biden and the democrats are still blaming america first. donald trump has always put america first. and he has earned four more years as president. it was an honor of a lifetime to serve as the united states ambassador to the united nations. now, the u.n. is not for the faint of heart. it's a place where dictators, murders, and thieves denounce america and then put their hands out and demand that we pay their bills. well, president trump put an end to all of that. with his leadership, we did what barack obama and joe biden refused to do. we stood up for america. and we stood against our enemies. obama and biden let north korea threaten america. president trump rejected that weakness. and we pass tt toughest sanctions in north korea in history. obama and biden let iran get away with murder and literally sent them a plane full of cash. president trump did the right thing and ripped up the iran nuclear deal. obama an

when ronald reagan was running i remember thinking like wow he's so old he was like my dad's age and my father was like i wouldn't so you know age doesn't seem to matter as much anymore and yeah i guess you know it's an issue for some people but i look at joe biden he was right his bike the other day looking good and i'm pretty confident that he'll be sticking around for a while. but you know my friends are growing up also because everybody. it is one quick thing that i do want to point out you brought up the idea of this vice president it's interesting when trump picked his vice president they weren't looking to bring anybody in with that in fact they picked him because he thought it would actually solidified those that were doubtful within the republican party that's the exact opposite tendency that you're seeing in 2020 with the democrats choice they actually need to bring back their a lecturer bring back people and get them excited which is kind of the exact opposite of what they were trying to do with republicans in 2016. yeah especially with this pandemic which has been such an
