i miss ronald reagan.at is going on in our country today. and this library isn't just a place where we come as conservatives. it isn't just a graceland for conservatives. it is hallowed ground. and it is a reminder of a golden era and our nation's history. a photo album that we can thumb through and remember what's success of a nation on the back of morality and hard work look like. it is a vehicle to travel back in time to a period when we thrive as americans, and took pride in the american spirit. took pride in american adventurism. face challenges and challengers with dignity and strength. and in doing so, we evolve closer to a more perfect union. as peter, mentioned the world was not a column nor predictable one in the late 1970s and 1980s under president ronald reagan. it was quite turbulence, in fact. we fought an existential cold war and shed american blood on our own soil and abroad. the shadows of communism or long it dark. we fought a cultural war than as we do today, and the prospects of a world

ronald reagan just said no.ricans. in that belief and strength he was an antidote to those days when america was feeling that perhaps it's days were behind he would put us up on a different road and oh how we soared. ronald reagan was an antidote because of his unfailing confidence in america. his unfailing belief in our values. his plan of action, his amazing ability to communicate a vision and his unforgettable sense of humor. , ronald reagan lifted america in those days. that is what we remember in the documents, and the way that this museum reflects back that moment when you can stand in the oval office and think about what it must've been like to walk into the day after the inauguration and say to yourself i have to lift america up and he did. remembering is one of the important reasons for a celebration today. the memories for a celebration today is the teaching and informing that this library does. when your university professor, you are forever aware of the passage of time in the passage of generations,

when you look at that and the instability of ronald reagan's childhood, as the son of an alcoholic who took the family from one uncertain situation to another you really realize what is the basis for this incredible love story, this incredible bond between the reagans and that is that in each other they finally found the security, the validation and love the two of them had craved and so while this also explains kind of the insecurities of nancy reagan, the complexity of rent nancy reagan it also explains her fearlessness, how she was absolutely fearless when she detected anything that could possibly jeopardize the happiness and wholeness she and ronald reagan finally realized in each other. >> that leads into my next question which is we all read and heard so much about how the reagans met in the evolution of their love story and as you revealed in the book ronald reagan was not in a great place in his life or his career when they met. your book suggested he was broken inside and his heart was in a deep freeze but she was loving and patient and as ronnie would later write nancy moved

and who is promoting agendas perhaps ronald reagan might not have shared? >> one of the presidents reagan's occurred on march 30 , 81 when a deranged government nearly took the life of president reagan and washington hotel. it's heartedly to believe it has been 40 years since that date. that crisis changed everything, nancy.lly for i think it ever happened to might ronnie she wrote, my life would be over. what the world did not know at the time, how close he really came to death, ronald reagan was spared and he believed there is it higher purpose to his life. going forward he would be dedicated to that. nancy on the other hand was haunted by the horror of all of it plagued with fear or something like that could happen again. tell us about that moment, how she learned the news and how she had to carry that horror with her after words. >> in that chapter i really did try to take the minutes at some point reader minute by minute by minute with that day was like for her. the head of her secret service detail appears over the command center under the oval office

i'm fortunate to have grown up in the 1980s when ronald reagan was president. he was one of those once-in-a-generation leaders who made us proud as a nation. he helped us understand our purpose in the world and our role in history. president reagan inspired so many young americans, even iowa hawkeye football fans. a little-known fact about our 40th president, he was the chief sports announcer at who radio in des moines, iowa and the voice of iowa hawkeye football in 1933. ronald regan inspired us all to believe in our country and ourselves, and to go into public service to make the world a better place. for the thirty years prior to his presidency, an iron curtain held back much of the world from experiencing freedom. reagan's faith in america, his fellow citizens, and the desire of all men to live free, set the stage for our country's triumph over communism in the late 20th century. and inspired a global revolution whereby dozens of nations chose, and continue to choose, freedom over tyranny. growing up on a farm in rural southwest iowa, i thought of service in

welcome to the ronald reagan presidential library and the webinar series that has become so popularecspecially during separation. and perched overl the berlin wall.. and then nancy reagan had a diplomatic hand into instead we are relying on technology to go u back in time to better understand nancy davis reagan first lady and caregiver can you share what inspired you to take this on and how did you go about it and why did he start the book with the soviet union? >> first of all thank you so much for having me and i look forward to when we can be sitting out there on the beautiful patio at the reagan library where i spent so many wonderful hours mostly defrosting from the frigidity of the research room in the library. this book is not my idea. it was simon & schuster. and specifically one of my dearest friends of time magazine so she came to me late summer or early fall we would love to have a biography of her i was driving around doing errands and listening on c-span radio that there are so many layers to this complex woman. there was something about the project that struck me. especi

chad, your thoughts. >> a striking moment when ronald reagan passed away in june 2004 at the u.s. l. reagan stayed in the capitol rotunda and the first time or the second time i was around mikhail gorbachev, i work c-span some years before and he came in and met briefly and talked with him and studied a lot of things the soviet union in college and grad school. what i was struck is there was mikhail gorbachev a margaret thatcher just off of the capitol rotunda about to go in with all of these other world leaders. reagan was lying in state. in the 1980s, this is the history that will change and eventually resulted in the end of the soviet union appear in and of course, you had the famous summit with the president reagan and gorbachev in 1986 which seem to change everything. that was key right there that reagan actually realized because margaret thatcher had gone to meet with gorbachev before and reported back to reagan this is a guy they could work with and jennifer griffin, excuse me minutes ago absolutely the type of person that wanted to maintain the soviet union. but the west sa

that wasn't ronald reagan.hing fazed him so this made him unusual also and made him appealing to parts of the electorate typically when they hear the word conservative for american right, they flinch. >> they think ogre. >> then here comes ronald reagan with a smile and movie star hair and baritone and peopleh, like that's not what i think when i think conservative in all of these qualities make him an extraordinary figure however, may have been the exception in the history of the american rights and not the will. >> i live about 80 miles upstream from dixon now and the reason i mentioned that is or where i came from, this guide on the river became president of the unitedan states it brought people into looking at a catholic family that was jack kennedy family, it was the entrÉe into let's see what this is about. that's what a lotop of people fm where i came from, he was entry into conservatism because he had such great face, a great way about him inviting people who never looked at it before to actually look a

she said so to ronald reagan, in that sense, she was influential and she played an important role in establishing the right atmosphere. remember that before go mature of came in, there hadn't been a us soviet some, it was 6 years. it's an absolutely incredible thing. if you look at it, it was a huge turnaround in the relationship and something that despite all the differences between gilbert children, subsequent leaders has not been undone. gorbachev was responsible for a major nuclear disarmament breakthrough. following nearly 2 years of wrangling with us president ronald reagan over the issue, he made a surprise announcement. he said that the soviet union was ready to sign the treaty without delay. december 1987 in the u. s. s. r, and the u. s. signed the deal to eliminate intermediate range nuclear forces. inside right here is the iconic picture of globe, which often reagan when they agree to destroy them. as isles, stop production and pledge not to carry out any more flight tests of intermediate range missiles, and professor of politics and author of the rise and fall of communis

i'm looking to the past but here's ronald reagan who's thinking about the future? and then there's finally some personal characteristics that make reagan stand out. in the kind of the pantheon of the american, right? you know a person who i really enjoyed learning about and writing about in my history is senator robert taft. who was mr. republican right representative of that pre-world war two right opposed american? entry into the north atlantic treaty organization after the war but you know robert taft who ran unsuccessfully for the republican nomination several times would be the first to tell you that. he was not the most charismatic person around. and conservatives do have this tendency to kind of be, you know dower. yeah kind of very pessimistic in kind of gosh. the world is going to hell in a handbasket, you know. but that wasn't ronald reagan. nothing faced him. and so this too was made him unusual and it also made him i think appealing to parts of the electorate that typically when they hear the word conservative or american, right? flinch i think ogre. yea

morning in america is ronald reagan's presidential campaign slogan.i put the question mark because for a lot of people it was not morning in america. the cutting of social programming, cultural conservatism particularly in hiv-aids which ronald reagan was very late to acknowledge at all as a disease, that was not a donning in america, it was one of the darkest times in the united states so it is really important when we see images like this one that i put here to realize all the glitz and glamour which today's very much sort of being reinvigorated, retro celebration of the 80s, that was an era a lot of people suffered a lot due to these policies. after that headline last week, it came to my attention some of you don't know what your bees are. that the term that came in use in the 1980s to refer to young urban professionals and all the things they like to do like those croissants and jogging and triathlon speaking big, a bit of a play on hippies and often it was used mockingly, these people are individualistic, in it to climb the ladder on their own, k

>> so i heard the good news there that you are going to write two more books about ronald reagan. >> yes, yes. >> that is pretty exciting, so can you give us a sneak peek. they know that keeping you off the streets and the pool halls. i am editing a book about reagan and the significant. it is significant. it is the beginning of the end of the soviet union, it leads a history from grenada until the fall and the fall of the soviet union. the liberation of the warsaw pact countries, i'm doing a book on the people on the other side. right like, for instance, picking george bush. he did not want to pick george bush but he made the most sense at the time. at the detroit convention, to produce a unified ticket. the republican party has been more or less divided since the 1940s. with liberals or moderates and conservatives. we had eisenhower the moderate. next in the conservative. or, lodge the moderate and nixon in the conservative. >> it continued that program, where they had to reach across, to pick up the unified convention which tends to win with a fall, and conventions tend to lose the

he says ronald reagan and that was it and reagan never suffered any political consequences fortunately for him family group still supported him running for president. so, but every chapter is on briggs on bush on schweiker on the screen actors guild on, you know, things like that. so, yes, sir. man, right sir. getting back getting back to the book in 1945. yes back in september 39 stalin and the russians invaded poland from the easterns portion as hitler came in from the west right? yeah by time 45 rolled around it seemed like stalin was much more powerful in the big three that he had any right to be not only being a junior member but being the turncoat at the beginning of the war. he was part of the access powers. like what do you think by time 45 rolled around gave him that? gravitas with roosevelt and what churchill? you know, i'll try to answer it as it can is is that the soviets got a very very favorable press in the united states look magazine and life magazine which went out to millions every week. you can't underestimate their influence, you know, but they depicted soviet union

your publisher put ronald reagan on the cover, you can see why. i think it corrupt to you you put bill buckley on the cover . what was william f buckley, what was his purpose, what was the movement he had in mind to create and if you think about national review and the rest of the massive buckleyprojects putting in the 50s , what was his ambition? >> i think has ambition as he put it at that young age when he comes on the scene in 1951 which got him in yale 26 years old, his ambition was and he said this to mike wallace in an early interview . he said i'm a counterrevolutionary and the revolution he wanted to overturn was fdr's revolution, the revolution of 1932. the change in the nature of the american social .contract, the new deal launched . so how do you go about doing this? there are many different avenues he pursued. the first was institution building. so in addition to national review, he was also nresponsible for the creation of work played a part in the creation of the intercollegiate studies institute. it's college arm the collegiate net

but in ronald reagan you sell something else. a lot of other democrats solid but at the time you were not registered to vote. >> i wasn't. i missed voting for ronald reagan by two and a half months. >> because you were born in january. >> i was still 17.' the first words of my entire book, here's the deal, i should have been a democratat an liberal. those that stepped in and stepped up for me pretty much were all members of the private trade. to graduate high school with a certificate and a diploma and went to work right away and have those jobsbs for decades. they tend toward the democratic party. irish italian catholics absolutely had an affinity to the democratic party. honestly it was no fault. i talk about that and ronald reagan like other people in my generation inspired me with a very optimistic message he was inclusive in his words and i grew up where people came through that back door the only one to ever go to college and a big mentor in my life suddenly at the age of 66, 20 years ago but she packed so much life here's

so then ronald reagan you said something else. a lot of other democrats saw that but at the time you were not registered to vote . >> i miss voting for ronald reagan by 2 and a half months ig . >> because you were going 'january 20. >> on inauguration day. i i was 17 for his reelection. the first words in my entire book, here's the deal now that you know her by any imaginable metric i should y have been a democrat and a liberal and probably a man hater too. my uncles, my cousins and extended family members all these great male role models in my life who stepped in and stepped up for me, they pretty much were all members of the private trade. carpenters and welders and iron workers and who would graduate high school but there they went to work right away and have had those jobs for decades, being able to support themselves and their families and these wonderful people so they tend towards the democratic party. i was an italian catholic at thattime, not to overgeneralize they had an affinity to the democratic party . obviously john

ronald reagan. f sorts is in order to hollywood for writing what became the first successful chapter in the reagan revolution. our guest this evening, david has had own remarkably successfulul relationship with hollywood as well. a number of the award-winning works he's written, produced or directed that define this stage in green career came to life in the thick of the reagan presidency. titles among them, when gary, glencross, the co- span. [applause] the verdict, later works of david's during the reagan post presidency your, my favorite, rag the dog. [applause] but david, like ronald reagan deviated from the standard hollywood political groups and in doing so, he's established himself as a freethinking political socialor commentator, unafraid. the same sharp pin that wrote compelling dialogues in the broadway stage has often been the ploy for what he has turned in this day and age the virus of conformity. tonight we welcome him to the reagan library stage for discussion on his new book. the death

without that political commentary there would have been no actor ronald reagan or president ronald reagan. thank you to hollywood for what became the first successful chapter with the reagan revolution. our guest david mamet has had his own successful relationship with hollywood as well. he has written and produced or directed with this stage career came to life in the thick of the reagan presidency. glengarry glen ross. [applause] spent the later works of david during the reagan post presidency years my coffin and hannibal and wag the dog. [applause] but he deviated from typical groupthink and he also haski established himself with political and social commentary —- commentator in that same ten with the compelling dialogue has often been the employee to excoriate which he has turned the virus of conformity. tonight we welcome him to thece library stage to discuss his new book recessional. the death of free speech andco the cost of a free lunch.at so let's share a passage from an essay in the book out of many that struck me and with the current state of the american theater he writes the

president at the time, ronald reagan?t did that mean for arms control and the end othe cold war? >> it meant everything for the end of the cold war. gorbachev reached out to ronald reagan ando margaret thatcher, and two other western leaders, and established a dialogue and not a confrontation. prior to mr. gorbach coming to power, the soviet union was ruled by people who really couldn't deal with the problems of the soviet union. mr. gorbachev tried to deal with them. he tried to deal with them in the best way that he knew, taking into account the history at he had learned. but unfortunately for mr. gorbachev, the rest of the country and the rest of the party was not willing to go along with it. laura: do you know anything at all about mikael gorbachev's attitude towards vladimir putin's invasion of ukraine? >> he hasn't been very outspoken or talked about it. it will be very interesting to see how vladimir putin remembers mikal gorbachev. obviously, in the present campaign against ukraine, he's going against what gorbach

without the political commentary there would've been no ronald reagan and no president ronald reagan. , thank you of sorts in order to hollywood in writing what became the first successful chapter in the reagan revolution our guest this evening david has had remarkably successful relationship with hollywood as well. of the award-winning works, he has written and produced his oppressive stage and screen career that came to life in the reagan presidency. later works during the reagan post-presidency years. david like ronald reagan deviated from the standard hollywood political group and in doing so he has also established himself as a freethinking political and social commentator unafraid the compelling dialogue for the broadway stage has often been the pledge to excrete whether he has turned in this day and age the virus of conformity. tonight we welcome him to the reagan library stage for a discussion on his new book, recessional, the best f free speech and the cost of a freehe lunch. were going to dive into a conversation about the book in a moment. first, i wanted to share a passage

then ronald reagan you saw something else. a lot of democrats saw that at the time you are registered to vote. >> guest: i missed voting by 2.5 months. i was 17 for his re-election. when i wrote my book "here's the deal," my uncle's extended family members in all these great male role models in my life who stepped in and stepped up for me, they pretty much were all members ofer the private. welders ironworkers who graduated high school with their skill certificate and a high school diploma went to work right away and have those jobs for decades being able to support themselves and their families. they tend towards a democratic party. not to over generalize but they had an affinity to the democratic party. it was the height of feminism roe vs. wade and i talk about that. ronald reagan inspired me with an optimistic message. he was very inclusive in his words. i grew up in the house for my aunt got rests her soul my mother's oldest sister never went to college died suddenly and it was a huge loss for family but she packed in so

kennedy, she wasn't old enough just as i missed voting for ronald reagan. and they were all taken by the handsome young camelot, and taken too young. and my friend was visiting and it wasn't that i said a few bad words, i vite violated one of the ten commandments, took god's name and she came around with a gold cross, what did i say. >> don't you ever take god's name in vain. and out of her mouth, f-bombs and don't take god's name in vain. and i think how progressive the women who raised me from ironically, they talked about abortion, adultery, they talked about inflation, they talked about everything you can imagine except politics and because the matriarch of our extended family, grandmother antoinette, that screen door had a flotilla of people who knew if they had a problem or one meal or an open ear, they could come there and do that. i grew up. and georgia often told me the world is my focus group and i think it started around that wooden table in akron, new jersey and i would sit around and listen to adult conversation, to my professional life for dec

he had a partner with ronald reagan. ldn't forget how much resistance there was within reagan's own ranks with engaging with this soviet leader. there was a lot of suspicion whether to trust mikhail gorbachev. and as it was mentioned in her piece, nancy reagan was one of the trusted advisers. i think her role should not be overlooked here. and just one more thing, george h.w. bush managed to land a plane with the dissolution of the soviet union, with the end of the cold war. that was a treacherous period and he handled with enormous deftness. i'd be curious to hear what my partner david ignatius has to say with the series of gorbachev that has enabled him to do the legacy that he's left. david? >> so, if i can respond to that, susan, i do think that george h.w. bush was a master at playing out the end game with the soviet union was crumbling. all of the weakness that gorbachev had seen coming down around him. but to keep that debris from causing enormous damage. to see the change all the way through that without it erupti

and certainly no president ronald reagan. so thank you of sorts is in order to hollywood. for writing what became the first successful chapter in the reagan revolution our guests this evening. david manet has had his own remarkably successful relationship with hollywood as well. a number of the award-winning works. he has written produced or directed. that define his impressive stage and screen career. came to life in the thick of the reagan presidency. titles among them glengarry glen ross the postman always postman always brings twice the verdict or later works of david's during the reagan post presidency years. like hoffa hannibal in my favorite wag the dog. but david. like ronald reagan deviated from the standard hollywood political group think and in doing so he has also established himself as a free thinking political and social commentator. unafraid of ruffling feathers that same sharp incisive pen. that wrote compelling dialogue for the broadway stage. has often been deployed to excoriate what he has aptly termed in th

i was not registered to vote i missed voting for ronald reagan by two and a half months. that's right because you're born in january 20th, and that's right being able to vote for him. i was still 17 for his re-election. you're absolutely right the first words in my entire book. here's the deal donna, you know, by every imaginable metric. i should have been a democrat and liberal and a feminist and probably a man hater too. my father left the men in my life my uncles my cousins. they expanded family members all these great male role models in my life who stepped in and and stepped up for me. they pretty much were all members of the private trades carpenters and welders and iron workers plumbers and who you know graduated high school with their skill certificate and their high school diploma went to work right away and have had those jobs for decades being able to support themselves and their families the most wonderful people so, you know, they tend toward the democratic party irish and italian catholics at that time. i think, you know not to over generalize. they absolute

that's president ronald reagan working out on a novelist machine. you read a lot about the history of novelists in jonathan black's book for your reading for today. here, if you take a closer look at this time, you can see the president's personal economic -- exercise program, how does he stay fit? we're not gonna do a close analysis of the slide, but you welcome to pause and zoom in. but a few things i want to point out. this image on the right, with reagan chopping wood. that is actually i think totally of a peace with what we saw earlier in the 20th century, with teddy roosevelt, getting out in the great outdoors, celebrating the strenuous life. doing manly sports, like chopping wood. he re-talks about horseback riding, too. there's a continuity there. but at least two things in here, possibly three, really highlight that this is a different era. one, there's a joke in the caption, where reagan says pumping firewood is what the president calls this activity of him spirit splitting lots. pumping firewood, that's a joke about pumping iron. remember

so, hearing this, ronald reagan would be devastated. where the living, breathing republicans today who subscribe to rob ronald reagan politics in this country? >> liz cheney and maybe eight others. >> yeah. what he said. what he said. [laughs] yeah. >> what he said. mitt romney, i'm looking at you. michael steele and steve israel, thank you for joining tonight. coming up, it is really fatal but it is spreading fast. and this by where you may have heard, anyone can get it. the facts on the nation's newest public health emergency when the 11th hour continues. i'm jonathan lawson here to tell you about life insurance through the colonial penn program. if you're age 50 to 85, and looking to buy life insurance on a fixed budget, remember the three ps. what are the three ps? the three ps of life insurance on a fixed budget are price, price, and price. a price you can afford, a price that can't increase, and a price that fits your budget. i'm 54, what's my price? you can get coverage for $9.95 a month. i'm 65 and take medications. what's my pr

talk to me about this relationship between gorbachev and ronald reagan at the time, but of course reagan was no, no, i mean, obviously not just being an actor from hollywood, but he was, he was a great diplomat, a politician. he was a real meter in greta and both reagan and, and gorbachev certainly when they would get together, they seemed to attain this celebrity status. why do you think that became the case? will lead to very good, very good question. good insight. i'm not quite sure why they got along. maybe it was my destiny. gorbachev knew he had to change russia and reagan. he had to help russia. otherwise we might all die. so for whatever reason, i think it was, they wouldn't mutually needed each other. and they knew it and they weren't or same door. are you shipping? cause you say they were in mutual need of each other? why is it, jim? maybe this is a bit of a tough question. but what, why is it that gorbachev was so roundly embraced by western professional partners. but today.

and have a strong proponent barry goldwater and ronald reagan.ery pro- law and order anti- hippie so she embodies this ideology in so many ways that's the john wayne that evangelicals came to know and love. we all know he is the icon of american masculinity but then we go from there. >> but in the formation of the evangelical identity but just how front and center but first it was to read the popular books and evangelical masculinity and of course and coming out in the nineties. with the most popular books and just running up against from the vietnam war so we thought that was significant so we came to see how the vietnam era was a critical juncture in american history and then just to assert power in the context they were staunchly anti-communist it was perfect but they were not alone like sow, many other americans that is the postwar "leave it to beaver". and as their celebrity things were greatnt in the fifties and the sixties with the civil rights movement the them in this movement and the antiwar movement and more and more americans are ques
