if people who believe that say that they are like ronald reagan, and they imagine a ronald reagan that never was. the final thing i might add is the difference between reagan and those who are today his heirs, ronald reagan had an immense and very effective sense of humor which he used as a very effective tool against the opposition. today's issues are grim and serious and dreadful, they were not so cheery back in the 1970s either. but reagan was able to use humor that today is dismissed as trivializing serious things. >> if i could follow up on that last point. one of the striking things tinny about reagan is the fact that he gives conservatism a friendly and approachable face, if you read his message in the sixties, it deviates hardly from goldwater's, yet barry goldwater did not have an observable sense of humor, did not draw people in. it strikes me that, i don't know if it is a default setting for conservatives, and it's maybe just in the -- they tend to do righteous indignation better than they do a lot of other emotions. with barry goldwater, there was a sense that you are sort

acting like ronald reagan. i mean by that is any number of politicians today will tell you with all sincerity that ronald reagan is their idol, their absolute model in terms of politics except insofar as what they do and say is not the least bit like ronald reagan. let me identify some of those qualities i am talking about. one it is that as jonathan said, ronald reagan did have a positive vision for the future. it was positive, it was for creating prosperity through a reduced government footprint in the lives and businesses of people. the idea was prosperity. it was not recrimination against the enemy. far too many of today's politicians are highly negative. it is sufficient, they think, just to be against barack obama and his policies. i believe that might help republicans win in the midterm elections this year, but the morning of wednesday, november 5, the republican party had better start having a positive agenda like ronald reagan or ed it will find itself with not much to say as people recognize barack ob

he was a nixon white house aide and a ronald reagan loyalist who worked for ronald reagan and loved ronald reagan. his e-mail address was a variation, so he was the ultimate reagan soldier. but by the early 1990s, he decides that the conservative message has missed the beach. it's not looking out enough for the working class americans and those are the people that have began moving to the republican party for cultural reasons, for abortion rights, they don't like liberals and so they are moving into the republican party and pat buchanan thinks they are being hurt by our economic message. we have a free-trade message but we are closing down factories so they can move to mexico and we have to stop that. immigrants are moving in and are driving down the wages and we have to stop that, tomac. so he begins and pat is quite eloquent about this. he says i began to develop a different view of what conservatism is and should be and it was very much early donald trump. it's anti-free trade and anti-nafta. it's very much anti-immigration and imports from abroad. it's pro- american, let's promote amer

he is a ronald reagan loyalist freight loves ronald reagan to e-mail addresses a variation on the gipper. it was the ultimate reagan soldier. but in the early 19 '90s he decides that the conservative message has missed the beach. it is not working out enough for working-class americans. those are the people have begun moving into the republican party for cultural reasons. there against abortion rights, they don't like liberals. and so they are moving into the republican party. pat buchanan thanks they are being hurt by her economic message. we have a free-trade message but closing down factories so they can move to mexico. i we have to stop that. immigrants are moving in it's not taken their jobs are driving the other wages and we have to stop at two. he begins and pat is quite eloquent about this. he says i began to develop a different view of what conservatives really is and should be. and it was very much early donald trump. it's anti- free trade, & after the north american free trade agreement. it's very much anti- immigration. it's anti- imports from abroad. it is pro- american slot

let me turn the clock forward and ronald reagan comes into office. i greatly served as one of his budget deputies, long time ago. on february 18, 1981, a month into his presidency, reagan gave a speech to the nation and he announced he was seeking the 10-10-10 tax rate cut. 30% across the board tax rate. kennedy's was roughly the same. 30% across the board. so, we skip over two decades. now, here's reagan. "back when calvin coolidge cut taxes across the board, the government's revenues increased. when jack kennedy did it, his economic advisers were all telling him the government would lose revenue, and the government gained revenue. it's the reality. so they made quite a sizable financial error. "risingnedy's line was tide lifts all boats." " and this is what we believe the tax proposals that we have made are aimed at. "can you cut taxes and fight inflation? by so doing this? i very much believe you can. let me just read you something. our true choice is not between tax reduction on the one hand and the avoidance of large budget deficits on the other.

was when ronald reagan asked you to prepare you for the presidential debates. and it was that, your extraordinary preparation that caught nancy reagan's attention and so here we are in this election year, we've had presidential debate, vice presidential debate. is there anything that stands out in your memory about that preparation for debating, maybe tied into preparation for a big legal meeting or case? but of course, reagan is such an iconic figure and there you are, getting him to where he can surge past incumbent carter. >> there were a lot of long time reagan people who had worked for him, who were a little reluctant for him to debate. but i had been, and there were some who joined me. i was thought of as the deputy chairman of the reagan campaign in charge of debates. over afteru to come george bush. and i had never seen reagan lose a debate. so i argued strongly for him to debate john anderson, another republican running for president. and carter didn't want to debate two republicans. and so i said, well, we ought to anderson, because i felt sure that re

you see, he didn't just support ronald reagan in 1976, in 1980, in 1984. he managed to support him in 2020 as well. [laughter] now, i know you consider president reagan your political hero, governor, but that, sir, that's real dedication. and by the way, you didn't have to do that just to be invited here today. [laughter] ladies and gentlemen, i want to thank you for joining us. we're honored to welcome you virtually to the reagan institute, through our center for civics, education, opportunity led by our own dr. janet tran. we work at the nexus of these three pillars, answering president reagan's call for an informed patriotism to ensure a prosperous future for america. and the 62nd governor of maryland knows this call. we're truly honored to have governor hogan with us, through pragmatic, principled leadership has carried the flame of our 40th president. now, if you know about governor hogan you know he doesn't mince words. he's been quick to criticize members of his own party. that kind of equal opportunity straight talk is very popular in maryland. thro

my name is roger and i am the director of the reagan institute the dc office of the ronald reagan essential foundation and institute. in 1980, the 20-something son of a former congressman an executive was named the chair of youth for reagan and you're looking quite youthful today. my dad . supported then governor reagan during 1976 presidential primary and it now, young larry hogan, will serve as a delegate. in 1980 republican conventions. we have a lot of reagan devotees joining us here at the institute. i think governor hogan, may rank above them all. you see, he didn't just support ronald reagan in 1976. in 1980 and 1984. he managed to support himn 2020 as well. now i know you consider present toeagan your political hero governor. but that sir, that is real dedication. and by the way, you didn't have too that just to be invited here today. ladies and gentlemen, on thank you for joining us and were honored t welcome virtually, to the reagan institute, derek center for civics edution of kenned we work at been three pillars answering president reagan's call, fro an informed patriosm and pro

we have to work together like ronald reagan did. i may be the budget chairman and we are going to hold the senate. i promised my democratic colleagues -- [applause] if you will work with me, i will work with you because the debt is going to ruin the country. i just want to remind everybody whatever differences we have they pale in comparison to what we believe in witches the right to pick our leaders, speak our mind, to get up from one election and go to the next. i have been to iraq and afghanistan 50 something times. there are people out there who hate chuck schumer as much as lindsey graham. [laughter] radical islamists do not css republicans or democrats. they see us as infidels. they would kill us regardless of our faith, christian, jewish, muslim, libertarian, vegetarian. [laughter] i have never lost sight that when you go overseas you relies so many people believe in s -- realize so many people believe in s. -- us. to do the best i can as long as i can. these terms are for six years but i learned something early on. there is

campaign and four years later ronald reagan would ask him to come and manage his campaign. guest: that's right. it is one of the great sort of reinvention acts in politics. he also asked george bush to be his vice president after he accused him of practicing voodoo economics in the 1980 presidential primary. that thes you a lot politic -- that those politics don't exist right now. it wasn't just reagan who had the capacity to bring in someone who works hard against him, but it says a lot about the intrigue in the world around reagan. what we found in doing this book was baker had impressed some of those who worked with reagan as well as himself. they actually made a concerted effort before the 1980 election in the fall of 1980 when it looked like they might win, two decidedn's key advisors -- they both claim authorship of this idea -- cited they would try to put baker in front and give him some time with governor reagan with the goal of installing him as chief of staff, because their internal rival had been reagan's ideological gatekeeper and then his chief of staff in cali

[laughter] but it was ronald reagan as governor who believed in the promise of america and our people. he understood that no other nation under god was conceived in liberty quite the way that we are. his deep, innate understanding of america's exceptional place in the world gave him the strength to face down the soviet scourge. he was confident that every threat he faced -- we have many threats that remain, but i am equally confident america will overcome any challenge from communist china to the terrorist regime in tehran. because that's what free people do. we come together, we solve problems, we win, they lose. we execute our foreign policy confident that we are the shining city on a hill. that is what i want to spend a few minutes talking about today. i know you all believe in the promise of america's freedom. president trump believes in it. i do too. our nation's story isn't about dehumanizing critical theory. it is not about oppressors and oppressed. it is not about materialism and even that might makes right. it is not the reality -- it is about the reality that all men and wom

secretary of state mike pompeo spoke about promoting democracy tuesday at an event hosted by the ronald reagan foundation and institute. this runs just over an hour. sec. pompeo: good morning, everyone. thanks, roger, ben, and all the trustees and staff for making this event possible. here really special to be today. i'm honored you asked me to inaugurate the center for freedom of democracy. [microphone feedback] as my team was helping me get ready, i was reminded of a line from emerson -- i don't quote poetry often. president reagan quoted in westminster in 1982. an institution is lengthened by the shadow of one man, and there is no man who did more than reagan to restore america's confidence and human freedom in the post world war ii era. there is no better event than continuing that work by launching this new institution 40 years after america sent our 40th president to the white house. people watching online and those in this room are students of president reagan. as a kid growing up in california, i got to see him in action as the governor. it was a very different california then. [laught

even ronald reagan.beaufort people forget ronald reagan engaged the soviet union he wrote letters to the general secretaries of the communist party they were not that different from obama's letters to the supreme leader and iran about the desire to move forward and have pragmatic relations. so i think it is a myth to think somehow we won the cold war, we tried to do a regime change in the soviet union. which came about of her time came out not because we arm the opposition for fermented rebellion of the people rose up and got rid of the regime. came up the opposite way with the regime realized it was a terrible system it was losing geopolitically was losing economically and decided it had to try different approach. he pursued a different policies at home and abroad. so reckon i think is interesting because he is misused secretary pompeo gave his iran speech at the break in my brain california not with the densely to the notion that reagan was a big regime change her. i think if you actually look at the h

we're lucky to have it located now in the ronald reagan building again in the heart of d.c. but still it faces barriers to reach its past success. even though this august body made it a congressionally designated museum in 2003, it is the only such congressionally designated museum expected to pay rent in a federal building. with this bill the nonprofit museum will be able to thrive, remain financially viable and accessible to our nation's children. and work with the g.s.a. in a way that makes sense. i urge my friends not to just vote for this bill but after we have crushed the pan democrat toik bring their children and grandchildren to be thrilled and inspired by our national children's museum. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back, the gentlewoman from district of columbia reserve, the gentleman from north carolina is recognized. mr. rouzer: i yield three minutes to my good friend and the fine gentleman from illinois, mr. davis. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. davis: thank you, mr. speaker. thank you to my good friend, m

[applause] we wish senator kerry, teresa, and the whole family all our best wishes. america has spoken, and i am humbled by the trust and the confidence of my fellow citizens. with a trust comes a duty to serve all americans. and i will do my best to fulfill that duty every day as your president.

have you looked at ronald reagan's westminster speech. he sets out and unfortunately i don't think his predecessors have followed. we cannot impose our system of government but what we must do is work with democrats to help develop the country. i will just make a comment on the change of regime he must have looked at the work of richard. with that ran -- landmark book. actually a cia officer. in 1953. who opposed the overthrow. laid out pretty much the consequences to that. in terms of the long-lasting areas. thank you for your time. >> broke up a little bit. i'm glad you brought this forth. it is important in the sense that i think they invoke ronald reagan as a proponent of regime change. and the president has shown how they can do it successfully. and invoke the policies. we can do the same thing through a sanctions and military activities i think the history of the cold war is not the time to get into the cold war. but the lesson i think is not how the united states can pursue the regime change but in some ways the opposite. the unite

sus susan glasser, talk about jim bakker and ran against ronald reagan with george bush, and yet, ronaldose him as chief of staff and was seen the most at this job, how did he do it? >> he didn't necessarily have a background that would suggest he was going to be successful. he had been a lawyer up until a age-- and running gerald ford's campaign in 1976 coming in from nowhere in the wreckage after watergate. there were no republicans left of his generation at that point because you know, the previous group had been, you know, convicted, sent off to jail in the nixon, and also opened up a world for people like jim bakker, dick cheney, brent scowcroft and people who came to the fore. in his case, it's an example of a president, that is ronald reagan, what made sense for him. he was ooh an outsider coming into washington and he wanted things done. he didn't pick ed meese, the organizational skills to run a white house and didn't understand washington. jim bakker. jim he was his chief of staff and ended up being a smart choice on his part what was it that made him successful. he ended up tr

he ran the campaign for against ronald reagan for george hw bush and got ronald reagan chosen to be his white house chief of staff. and he did it with the most successfulpersonnel job . of this modern time. how didhe do it . >> that's a great question because he didn't really have a background that suggests he was going to be. he had been a lawyer up until age 44 and ran gerald ford campaign and 1976, there were no republicans of his generation at that point, the previous group had been convicted, sent off to jail so it opened up a world for people like jim baker, scowcroft and a whole new generation of people . in this case i think the example of a president that is ronald reagan, it made sense for him. he was an outsider coming into washington but he did one ofto get things done . he had the organizational skills to run a white house and understand washington jim baker , remarkably the guy who ran not just one but two campaigns against him in 1976 and 87 step down ended up instead being a smart choice on his part. >> and susan, what was that quality in jim baker that got him chosen fo

these are the same americans who ronald reagan spoke to. his vision of america isn't just a relic of some bygone era, but an ideal that we can and we should once again aspire to. six years ago, i won the biggest surprise upset in america by committing to usher in a new era of bipartisan cooperation and prosperity, one filled with hope and optimism. when i took office, maryland's economic performance was 49 out of 50 states. 70% of both houses of my legislature are progressive democrats, but we cut taxes and regulation and crated the biggest economic turnaround in america. just imagine what we could have done with a republican legislature. while both parties in washington argued about obamacare, we worked across the aisle to pass innovative health care reform, reducing insurance rates for everyone by more than 30% while also covering hundreds of thousands more marylanders. while our nations infrastructure crumbles, we move forward on all the top party transportation projects interstate, including the largest transit project in north america

another president with great charisma, ronald reagan. reagan, of course, had a background, he came from acting and then switched to politics later on in his life, started life out, by the way, in case you're not familiar with this, as a democrat. later he came a republican and was elected as a republican president in 1980. but, again, there was always that sense of excitement that things were going to happen, that these people were not going to sit still. finally, i'm going to include in that group barack obama. barack obama burst onto the political scene in 2004 when he gave the keynote address at the democratic national convention and excited a lot of people and many people walked away from that and said, this young man has a good future coming in politics. and of course four years later he was running for president, and of course he was elected and we'll talk about this in a little bit, but he had tremendous rhetorical skills. he's a wonderful speaker. and that really stood him in good stead. as you can see on the slide, professor dall

and ronald reagan. with the men with modest educations that were so effective and those three are the most three effective presidents of the last 75 years. >> it's a great question, joe. i mean, i think in some ways you take lincoln and then you take harry truman. never having had that college education, they were life-long learners which meant that they're reading, thinking, learning the entire time. not as if the clock struck 12:00 when you graduate from a place like harvard or yale. and with lbj his father said you'll brush up against the grind stone of life. that's more important than whatever college experience you went to. so that means you just keep learning. lbj learned from people. he had the congressman over to his senate and office buildings and to the mansion. night after night after night. you know, they'd have dinner with him. he'd learn from them and listen to them. so i think the answer is you don't think you're suddenly educated because you went to the ivy league school. you think i'll

obviously i think ronald reagan was a celebrity heated very good job.here, our current experience with celebrity in office, i'm not sure is proven that something we went to try again so quickly. see if i don't think it's just celebrity think it's people who want to be liked make bad politicians, kat because they want to give people stuff so the stupa like them or. that is a recipe for disaster when you are in a position of power. absolutely. the whole reason this matter so much is because we just idolize or demonize these people. we should be giving them less influence for it would not matter as much. the exception would be andy muller knock us to be the best governor ever. he could and the press conferences, put baloney in my left pocket near some cream cheese this is my state i'm and muller knock us. things are going to be dumb things are going to be crazy let's make it the good kind. kennedy: alright richard who would be your ideal celebrity governor politician? beyoncÉ kaman. she is not andy muller knock u us. >> she's ten times better. i be all for
