we had that issue with paul son gas system years ago. >> we had an issue with ronald reagan. >> but reagan is now younger. he went out younger than these people coming in. i think this is not a game and it's not an assessment of who will make a better president the first year, but it is an assessment that if you're in your mid-80s your vulnerabilities go way up. you're just not as sharp usually. there are exceptions, but it's taking a risk. is that what we should ask the country to do to take a risk because you believe you're the best person for the job when there are 330 million people in our country with a lot of people who could be good presidents? i just think it's a matter of social responsibility. >> i think you're pretty sharp, david, regardless. >> you're very kind, thank you. >> you don't look a day over 59. so listener, your new book is all about leadership. tell me more about your book. >> thank you. it's a call and it's very consistent with what we've just been talking about. it's a call to the younger generation, young emerging generations to prepare themselves for lives of se

you so that time and time again with ronald reagan. sometimes it was military action like the invasion of grenada which was absolutely necessary. sometimes, like arming other people, like we armed the afghans to fight back against the soviets. there's a lot of different ways we can use american power. this is an old choice barack obama specialized in. in everyplace, we face a challenge. it's either some kind of outright war -- it's either some kind of humiliation or outright war. it just was not the case under reagan or under trump, either. we did not blink from defending america's interests. rich: he had an army that was willing to go forward and fight against enemies and you didn't have to be directly involved, in you sent the armies. sen. cotton: some people talked about a reagan doctrine in the army. those kind of insurgencies. i don't think reagan ever actually used the term himself. it was academics who phrase things in those terms. but he acted potentially -- he acted prudentially. i mentioned invasions. our reaction to saddam h

it wasn't easy for walter mondale to run against ronald reagan knowing that most people were predicting that reagan would when. it wasn't easy for walter mondale to come out of retirement and run for the senate after we lost paul wellstone. it wasn't easy for walter mondale to continue his work while caring for his beloved wife and their daughter through heartbreaking illnesses. but with enormous setbacks, he stood up. he didn't hide from public view. he simply found a different way to serve. he went from being driven around with secret service and meeting with world leaders and negotiating international treaties and happily ending his visit. being humble meant that it was much easier to be resilient. this week in washington we celebrated the life of one of his friends. the two of them shared not only an unshakable belief in democracy and human rights, but also a dry weight and ability to self reflect. as secretary albright wrote it is unnecessarily tidy and uneven. the son of a minister. to the world stage. and he never lost his way. he was and is our guiding star. he was and is our no

men like george washington, john quincy adams and ronald reagan. their answers seem to be very different on the surface. but this is exactly my point about provincial reasoning and foreign policies. let me give you an example. some might decide -- a young weak and fragile america. in fairly primitive military and communications technology. if you are with us today, washington won an excuse lazy, sloppy thinking that takes his concrete policy recommendations then and simply grasps them onto today's world. the farewell address it self seeded with suggestions to the contrary. washington referred to our detached and distant situation and he lauded the advantages. and rightly so in 1796. that's why the address should still guide us today, though not in any time of automatic or reflexive way. and there is a significant element of time. as he put it, it's not far off when america would stand up and gather strength and have freedom of action in the world. in other words, washington foresaw a time when our policy might change, based on changed circumstances
