it is ronald reagan. when i was about six years old, my dad was a claims adjuster a building where ronald reagan was an announcer of w.h.o. radio, a announcer in des moines iowa. my dad and ronald reagan there. i was about six years old at that time. i thought that ronald reagan was related to me. my dad and ronald reagan used to play the pinball machine together. he would come out to the house and i always thought he was an uncle or some relative. when i was young, my family moved from des moines to tulsa, oklahoma. we never missed a reagan movie, my dad called him dutch reagan. one time we went all the way from tulsa to durrant, oklahoma, and that was before turnpikes. we drove for hours to watch a dutch reagan movie. it was not a big deal but is to be. i'm the guy speaking. fast forward to when ronald reagan was president and he wanted someone to tout is to mastic agenda. he used me. we would appear on all the tv shows, sometimes together and tell people what they needed to know was happening in the mi

and i really didn't get ronald reagan. i didn't understand but when i went off to college, embraced my faith in christ, as i recount in the book i began kind of a conservative transformation as well. i started hearing in president reagan the same things my irish immigrant grandfather and raised me to believe . i was named afterhim . then my dad had raised me to believe that common sense heartland conservatism that was just the vocabulary of my youth. i always love that story of when the american people heard ronald reagan talk and when they were driving a truck or in office or sitting on a tractor and say darn right. i started to listen. and i started to hear that vision but also i was deeply inspired by that kindness. and respect that he showed for every american. when i moved to indianapolis after i graduated i literally as i recount in the book walked into the republican headquarters and said i'm here to sign up for the republican party and this rather large county chairman looked at me behind his desk and said it's not

and we had a trust fund and ronald reagan was president. the government is going to be having problems, but we have a trust fund. unfortunately, that is exhausted now. but back then, we had a trust fund. more than half of my state is owned by the federal government. they would get together and say, what committees you got? i got interior. that is too bad. did you want appropriations? i would say, no, i want to transportation, and i wanted interior. i spent 28 years on resources, 10 years on homeland, and 36 years on this committee. host: what was it like being a freshman on the committee? do you recall experiences talking to influences the first couple of years? rep. defazio: there was a funny thing. ronald reagan had vetoed the surface transportation bill, so the house was going to override his veto. and i am brand-new in the committee. in those days, we had what we called demonstration projects. so i went to a chairman of the committee, bobrow from new jersey, and i said, mr. chairman, could i get a demonstration project? he said, you hav

>> of course hissène habré was brought to power by the united states, by ronald reagan.a, before the contras in nicaragua was bringing hissène habré to power as a bulwark against muammar qaddafi, who is occupying northern chad. he was ignored the fact he had already had a long record of atrocities as a rebel leader, as an interim prime minister. the u.s. funneled arms to hissène habré in a covert operation, helped him take power. in the u.s. and france supported him throughout his eight years as a bulwark against muammar qaddafi. the same way, frankly, the u.s. and france and the west are supporting that credit tater ship of chad as an island of stability in a region now dominated by isis and by jihadists and with a lot of instability in sudan and northern nigeria and cameroon. it we see w shortsighted this is. we found in the documents information about training courses in the u.s. that many of habré's political police took, including people who were later identified by the truth commission as the worst torturers in chad. we know the u.s. had an advisor to hissène habré

in an outcome that resembled, in some respects, 1952, the outcome of 1952, ronald reagan won in the near landslide. he defeated jimmy carter by nearly ten percentage points. an outcome that pollsters did not anticipate. r detains johnson. heid not dwell much on his miss prediction in the aftermatofhe 1980 election. and said, he said that in a news aic, reporters would have bn tter served by relying on their own instincts, their own legwork. this in turn -- political instincts, rather than the presumably scientific samples offer by pollsters. the surprise outcome of 1980 left pollsters bickering amongst themselves quite openly. this is quite unusual. disputes amongst pollsters tend to be more private, more quiet, more low level. not so much in the 1980s. they brokered about how things got so wrong. one of the disputes was whether there was this late in the campaign shift of support of reagan from carter. or not. some pollster side, yeah, that explains. other said, that's nonsense, we did not see such a shift late in the campaign. really, it's still kind of, years later, somewhat unresolve

indication in russia that the political regime there can change this was already mentioned by ronald reagania at the national security forum, and the director of national intelligence of the usa, avril gaines, said , according to her, russia recorded an increase discontent, especially among the elites, but in her opinion this cannot cause a change of power in the country of the aggressor, nor can it affect a change in the attitude of the russian leadership towards the war that russia started in ukraine on february 24 of this year. the united states of america does not want to include russia in the list of sponsor countries terrorism because they fear the negative consequences of this today in an interview with the cnn channel, us secretary of state anthony blinken said, according to him, president joe biden, together with congressmen, are trying increase the pressure on russia, and then mr. blinken's quote, we are working on a bill that would allow us to bypass some of the difficulties associated with adding the country to the list of countries sponsoring terrorism - that's the end of the q
