but it was 100 percent ronald reagan. i would not have written that for every anybody else, and i can tell you that because i have worked for george h. w. bush. reagan alone and regan alone would have insisted on delivering the speech when he had seen it, with our other objections. george bush, vice president bush in every foreign policy speech, the first question he would always ask me when i drafted a foreign policy speech, has state approved of this? that was his first question. so, jamie, listen to this story, all 3 of you -- but jamie next. well stay with ronald reagan here for a moment. this is a story, a famous story, told to me by dick gallon, who is your predecessor. ronald reagan's first national security adviser. the years 1977, record is now a former governor. he has just lost the republican presidential nomination to gerald ford. so far, there is no indication he's going to run for president. still, he's paying close attention to quote world affairs. dick gallon stopped by his house and brief him on world affa

we continue our look back at the reagan administration with a conversation about president ronald reagan's tax cuts and economic plan. >> it's my pleasure to welcome everyone to today's event. a celebration of the 40 year anniversary of reagan tax cuts. we're very excited to be hosting this event, this celebration. the economic recovery tax act is a positive change in tax policy, yes. but it represented much more than that. it was a change in the mind-set. the 1970s were a time of high inflation, high unemployment, low on opportunity. our nation's leaders rejected the idea of american greatness and thought the american dream was behind us. 30 years ago the heritage foundation hosted a celebration for the 10th anniversary of the tax cuts. it was entitled the importance of america's victory over washington. think about that for a second. america's victory over washington. as the tax cuts were being debated in congress, president reagan gave voice to this sentiment in his televised address reassuring the american people, quote, all the lobbying, the organized demonstrations and the cries of p

ronald reagan. i would not have written that for anybody else. i can tell you that because i had worked for then vice president george h.w. bush. would never have written it for him. reagan alone and reagan alone would have insisted on delivering the speech, once he had seen it over other objections. george bush in every foreign policy speech, the first question he would always ask me when i drafted a foreign policy speech, has state approved of this? that was the first question. listen to this story, all three of you. jamie, next. stay with ronald reagan here for a moment. this is a story -- it was told to me by dick allen, your predecessor, ronald reagan's first national security advisor. 1977. reagan is a former governor. he has lost the republican presidential nomination to gerald ford. there's no inkling he will run for president. he is paying attention to world affairs. dick stops by his house and briefs him on world affairs. then reagan said, would you like to hear my theory of the cold war?

ronald reagan. i would not have written that for anybody else and i can tell you that because i had worked for then vice president george h.w. bush. would never have written it for him. reagan alone with his insistence on delivering the speech once he had seen it over other objections, george bush in every foreign policy speech, the first question he would always ask me when i drafted a foreign policy speech, has state approved of this? so listen to this story. all three of you but jamie next. we'll stay with ronald reagan for a moment. this is a story, i think quite a famous story told to me by dig allen who was your predecessor, ronald reagan's first national security adviser. the year is 1977. reagan is now a former governor and has just lost the republican presidential nomination to gerald ford. there is no inkling he is going to run for president. he is paying close attention to world affairs and dig allen stops by his house in pacific palisades and briefs him on world affairs. then reagan said,

ronald reagan came up with the perfect label and helped the media. yes, reagan put these people in so here's a great communicator. they were quoting again when the bill came in the reason was because he said i have a 20 vote on this, we are going to defeat him and reagan did what he had done prior with economic speeches and marty anderson did the audit based on him and am so grateful for bringing that up but reagan wrote the speeches and he been talking about it forever and he said pete, have you seen this tax cut bill? so they did a script together and they insisted on it and no one thought reagan would run for president again so even then his advisors had are you sure you want to be that far out on something like that? 's as we all know, barbara, a great guy but losing his mind talking about that. [laughter] i gave a copy so he could give it to bob quickly in the hospital but these were things, everyone in the chairman told me over lunch where you and i used to commute as well, ronald reagan knew economic as well as anyone and he said he knows and i

ronald reagan knew how to set in force. >> he could handle it. >> yes, he could. when he gave a speech, there were no theatrics. he let the words speak for themselves. >> steve forbes, the benefits of reagan's optimism. there are few people who are optimists who believe as bad as things may be, they can be turned around, as powerful as the soviet union is, they can be brought to their knees, as awful as the economy he inherited, it can be changed in a year or two, and he was the optimist. >> people can be optimistic and depress people. neville chamberlain was an optimist in the middle 1940s before the germa offenses. but it didn't inspire people that the situation was at hand. reagan wasn't just, let's put a merry face on, but also a profound understanding of what made america unique. while times and circumstances change, free people will find a way to overcome the obstacles and move ahead. because people come from the most unlikely backgrounds and do great things in commerce and elsewhere. so as that profound faith, deeply red, as has come out here, this was not s

spent more time with him than any other american ronald reagan this is why reagan knew that from his countless hours hunt the settlement and phone calls, he is the sense that i can push them further to tear down that wall. and it wasn't going to cause a cold war to turn not so reagan had spent so much time with him, more than all the state department of the cia and the balance of pushing this guy but also expecting handouts i think that only look at gorbachev's role, a lot of which facilitated by reagan and the right balance of pressure and outrage that creates circumstances of 1989 for the german people to claim their own freedom. >> excuse me, i don't know how to do this in the zoom call that i would like to lean forward and kiss you on the forehead. >> i will hug you back braided. >> let me tell you about this long time ago, ten or 15 years ago now but one of the things that he did, the former leader of the great communist power was becoming a capitalist and he came to the united states. and mike reagan interviewed him and mike helped arrange me to go backstage and i can see gorba

mister pence, you have made glowing remarks about president ronald reagan tonight. during his administration, he supported genocidal regimes in guatemala and el salvador. he in a wrong, reagan gave -- knowing full well that he would use chemical weapons against iran. in nicaragua, the reagan ministration was condemned by the international court of justice for terrorism. the question is, why are you glorifying this man? >> i think i would like to head to the library with you and see if i could give you some different facts. look, i want to be very respectful of you for a thoughtful question, thoughtfully recited. when ronald reagan came into office, it was a time of great national challenge. i remember, in those days, there was generally a thought that the soviet union was on track dominate the world. most of the intelligence in this country thought that the soviet union was unstoppable. ronald reagan had a different view. he said, if we invested in our military, if we marshaled the power of our economy to the friend freedom and strength. the soviet union would collap

the presidency of ronald reagan as you related. that was the crux of getting things started, getting the country back together. there is one person who's not here today with us, and fortunately, and that is mark mothers. mark passed away on number of years ago, but he was very instrumental back in 1979, 1980. he was with ronald reagan during the campaign mission for the presidency. in both 1976 and 1980. it was at that time as you point out, our country was in deep trouble. we were at the greatest economic crisis since the great depression of the 1930s. and in the transition, royal regan asked mark to come up with a new strategy for how we could get the country back on track. so, mark went to work and said our, you definitely had your ideas in mind when you illustrates apply site economy by drawing a design to on the back of a cocktail napkin. [inaudible] to explain a really complex subject and a very simple and very illustrative way. so mark went to work having been tasked by the president elect. he came to the president with a 4-

the truth of the matter is before he was the great communicator, ronald reagan was the great disrupterervative outsider who vigorously opposed the moderate republican establishment in his day. reagan's victory in 1980 breathed new life into our party and into conservativism. he changed the course of the nation, and as history reports, he literally changed the course of the world. i think today the we actually find ourselves in a very similar position. president donald trump was also one of a kind. [applause] think about it. he, too, disrupted the status quo, challenged the establishment, invigorated a movement, and once again there is no turning back. under the trump-pence administration, we achieved some things that some republicans had been talking about literally for decades, and we did it all not by backing down, but by standing strong. and freedom was the anthem of our administration. under the trump-pence administration, i'm proud to report to you we rebuilt our military the. we restored the arsenal of democracy, and we made the strongest military in the history of the world stro

ronald reagan laid out clearly for us. about the way he saw this country is a shining city on a hill. we heard it before but we need to be reminded. we don't have to be a country that's pessimistic. we better be a country that's optimistic. we don't need to be yelling and screaming at each other all the time although we will yell and scream when we need to. but we need to be providing hope for the future. the democrats are the party of despondency. everything is bad and you need us to get you out of it. the republican party is the party of hope. and aspirations and the american dream. if you all are willing to join with leaders all across this country to do that, then we are going to see a greater day not only for our republican party, not only for each other and our children and grandchildren, but everyone around the world who is dying once again to stand within america that stout -- that tells the truth and we can believe in. when we give them that we will once again be that shining city on a hill. thank you very much.

what do joe biden and ronald reagan have in common? at first blush, neil, you say that's idiotic.n common. what did i told you at this time in his presidency ronald reagan was close to a little nervous, not he himself, but the people around him, the inflation thing was going on. federal reserve was raising interest rates and job losses were mounting. a lot of people thought he was a one-termer, and republicans lost a lot of seats. now, flash to today, and joe biden, and even before the developments in virginia and in new jersey this week, there was a separate poll out that showed close to half of democrats were thinking, you know, maybe we need someone other than joe to lead the charge in 2024. to historical dr. eddie lee, winthrop university, history professor there, darned good one. doctor, thank you for joining us. we forget that. i see similar polls that thought it was naive of a young senator from massachusetts, john kennedy to run for the democratic nomination because he was too young and didn't have the gravitas or the background of bigger bench players and i'm hearing this
