i wrote in it was true as far as it goes but we're up 100 percent with ronald reagan. we would not have written for anybody else, that we had worked for vice president george h. w. bush and we never in it for hair -- him. reagan and raegan lowe would've insisted on delivering the speech. george bush, vice president bush and every foreign policy speech the first question always ask when i drafted a foreign policy speech is -- has he approved this? that's the first question. all three of you, but jamie. next we'll stay with ronald reagan here for a moment. this is the story. quite a famous. story told to me by allen, who is ronald reagan's first national security adviser. the years 1997 and raegan is now a former governor has just lost their are public and presidential nomination zero for. there is no inkling that he's gonna run for. president still he is paying close attention to world affairs. and allen stops by his house in the palisades, and brief him on world affairs. and then arrogance as we like to hear my theory on the cold war? and -- of course. governor than ron

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. we have never written it for him. reagan, and reagan alone, would have insisted on delivering the speech, once he had seen it, over other objections. george bush, vice president bush, and every foreign policy speech, the first question he would always ask me when i drafted a foreign policy speech is, did the state approve of? this that was his first question. so jamie, you listen to this story. all three of you, but jamie next. we will stay with ronald reagan here for a moment. this is a story, i think it's a famous story. it was told me by -- who was your predecessor, who was ronald reagan's first national security adviser. so, the year's 1977. reagan is now a former governor, he has just lost the republican presidential nomination to gerald ford. and so far, there is no inkling that he is going to run for president. still, he is playing close attent

ronald reagan. i can tell you that because i hadan worked for then vice president george hwb. would have never written it to him. reagan alone and reagan alone would have insisted over other objections. vice president bush and every foreign policy speech, the first question has approved of this. jamie, listen to this story. all three of you. staying with ronald reagan for a moment. it was told to me who was your predecessor. the first national security advisor. now a former governor. he has just lost the republican presidential nomination to gerald for. there is no inkling he will run for president. he is paying close attention to world affairs. he briefed him on world affairs. and then reagan said, would you like to hear my theory of the cold war. and then ronald reagan, he puts us down in writing for me, this is reagan speaking. some people think that i am simplistic. there's a difference between being simple and simplistic. we when and they lose. richard nixon and henry kissinger and jimmy carter

staying with ronald reagan for a moment. is is a story told to me by your predecessor the first national security advisor the year is 1977 now reagan is a former governor he just lost the nomination to gerald ford. he is playing close it tension and take our breaks him on world affairs and reagan said would you like to hear mike. the cold war? he said of course, governor than ronald reagan did put this down in writing and quoting from him, this is reagan speaking some people think i'm simplistic but there is a difference between being simple and being simplistic might. about the cold war is that we went and they lose. how do you operationalize that? here is richard nixon and dÉtente and then warning against an ordinance fear of communism and then turned it upside down. now that i'm older field a little risky to me. >> i am a big fan of the approach obviously with radio free europe i think that moral clarity of reagan is incredibly essential upon hearing and ultimately they are fearful of their citizens. and when they realize

and as your vice president. >> one of the hallmarks of ronald reagan's success is his in addition to the importance of mrs. reagan family but he was known for surrounding himself with really talented people. jim baker, ed meese. you know the names go on. i get the sense that you have thatsame talent . guys like nick ayers, mark short, you have been able to build up a world-class team. >> thank you and mark short and his wife kristen, mark is with us tonight. actually the founding executive directors of the reagan ranch. they come from a good background. but it's one of the things you learned early on. i know president reagan lived it and i've had the privilege to know a number of people including a dear friend attorney general ed meese. who's wrench if i cherish to this day. he learned early on your only as good as your people. and i learned that on that tragic day in january in 2021 as well. both mark short and my general counsel greg jacob as i recount had been there at my side . giving me steady counsel and support as we sought to stand firm and do our duty. and i'll always believe

i did not get ronald reagan. did not understand it. en i went off to college, embraced my faith in christ, is asa recount in the book i begana conservative transformation as well. i started hearing and president reagan the same things my irish immigrant grandfather had raised me too believe. i was named after him. at that mike dodd had raised me too believe. the commonsense heartlandnd conservatism that was the vocabulary of my youth. i always love the story when the american people heard ronald reagan and talking p whether thy are driving a truck, in an office or sitting on a tractor they would gestate darned rates. and i started to listen. and i started tote hear that vision. but also i was deeply inspired by that kindness. and respect he showed for every american. when a move to indianapolis after i graduate i literally as i recount on the book i walked into the i local republican headquarters and said i'm here to sign up for the republican party. this rather large county countyadjournment looked me behs desk and said it's not really

>> i know i'm in california and california claims ronald reagan and you should.e's from the midwest. [laughter] [applause] i'm just saying. not far from where i grew up. it was his vision but also to me it was that combination of a strong backbone and a gentle hand that inspired me. as i recounted in "so help me god" i was slow to the parade. i grew up and really a nonpolitical family if you can believe that. my dad didn't have any use for either politicians or lawyers so you can imagine i'm a source of great pride to my family. [laughter] when i got interested in politics i talked to dad he said my lawyer is involved in politics go talk to him he happened to be a democratic i got involved in the democratic party and ÃÃ 1975, kind of a community organizer if the truth be told. [laughter] i'll be honest with you, as some of the people were teasing me after i arrived to the library today i voted for jimmy carter. i didn't get ronald reagan, i didn't understand it but when i went off to college, and braced my faith in christ, as i recounted in the book i began a con

margaret thatcher didn't win hearts and minds in the same way that ronald reagan did.ss the pond. this is the part of the program where i ask you to clarify the record on an area whence perhaps ax to grind. then we will open for the group. you have this language in the book you talk about that there was this how he referred to it? a carter ragan continuity theory. t that somehow what ragan was doing in 1981 when he entered office and doing the military buildup and confronting the soviet union actually ÃÃwith what carter was doing. tell us more about that and i we really saying that on a key ragan legacy ÃÃto continue what jimmy carter was doing? >> i don't think i would have a job at. [laughter] i call the carter ragan continuity thesis. that refers to that refers to a trend on literature in this arrow. carter and ragan carter started out like ragan ended up. and in the middle they were about the same. carter started off with doug's ended up lihardline somewhat reactionary. ragan comes and he's hardline the reactionary. then ends up dove stop the justifications for thi

heubusch: you just mentioned in talking about the vision ronald reagan, smaller government. whatever happened to republicans and smaller government and less spending? [laughter] mr. pence: tried to capture that a little bit. it ran for congress in 1988 when president reagan was still in the white house, and i lost. i ran again in 1990, and i lost by more. [laughter] really thought my put a coke career was over. we would spend 10 years in radio in a little bit of television in the state of indiana. when the opportunity came back around to run for office, i dusted off that reagan vision, reagan agenda, karen and i loaded up the kids in the minivan and went to the county fairs and knocked on doors and we were elected to congress in the year 2000. when arrived on capitol hill, the very first though -- bill of the new incoming republican administration was called no child left behind it was largest expansion of the department of education since jimmy carter created it. sometimes i felt like a minute man who showed up 10 years late for the revolution. [laughter] i often tell friend

so, you know, margaret thatcher didn't win hearts and minds in the same way that ronald reagan. and it's actually interesting it plays out today in terms of the collective memory of reagan versus thatcher, quite different across the pond. all right. this is the part of the program where i ask you to clarify the record on area where there's perhaps an ax to grind. you ready for this? and then we'll open up the group. so you have this language in the book. this is the piece of string section one that maybe i paid a little bit more attention to. perhaps another pieces of the book and you talk about that there was this how you refer to it, a carter reagan continuity theory. i believe i have it right. you can you can correct me that somehow that what reagan was doing in in in 1981 when he entered office and doing the military buildup and confronting the soviet union, actually many respects was continuity with as with what carter was doing. tell us more about that, anthony. and we really saying that that and a key reagan legacy and really that was him just continue what jimmy carter wa

[applause] it's an honor to be at the ronald reagan library, and as i was coming here, i started to think a little bit about president reagan and some of the issues that we are facing now and of course he had a great sense of humor and i thought about the story that there was a debate between three of the founding fathers after benjamin rush, thomas jefferson and ben franklin and at the debate was about what was the world's oldest profession. and he said as a physician the oldest profession as the doctor because eve was cut out of adam's wrists with his to be the physician. thomas jefferson designed said no, the world's oldest profession is the architect after all it's the architect who brought order out of all theiv chaos in the universe. and ben franklin said no, you are both wrong. the oldest profession is a politician. who do you think created the chaos in the first place? and p president reagan understod this. he understood the vital role that government had to play. he didn't say no government and he understood that there was a core function of government but he alsorc understood ho

but there was any strong desire to kick ronald reagan out to impeach ronald reagan. why was so and why did it happen to nixon? nixon resigned one step ahead of the impeachment. and so nixon resigned. why did it happen to nixon and not to reagan? and i would say the difference people liked and, you know, that might sound trivial. talking about, you know, great of government, but when you live in a democracy when you operate your politics on, the principles of democracy. well, every election is in essence, a popularity contest. do people like you and if they you, they'll cut you some slack. they cut reagan a lot of slack and they nobody was going to cut nixon any slack because he wasn't likable. and it's a it all sounds like junior high, but. but that's the way things often work. you know, i've often thought that that clearest gauge for if you want to know who people are going to vote for, who's going win an election, the question should who would you rather sit down and have a beer with that candidate or candidate b? and if a candidate gets the sides, that candidate i

you can think back about ronald reagan. i will not let my opponents youth and an experience be a factor in this campaign. the whole room erupts. even walter mondale started laughing it was such a good line. that was a moment. on the other side of it lloyd benson, jack kennedy, that was a mean low blow by benzan towards dan quayle. i would say look who comes in there and is comfortable. i would think vivek will surprise a lot of people. he seems comfortable in front of a camera. he seems ready to go. i just saw a ron desantis. he seemed ready to go and seemed in a great mood, lighthearted. i saw mike pence. i think for all of the talk about donald trump not coming, i think these guys should be glad he is not coming. he sucks out about 98.5% of all the oxygen in the room. this hopefully will give them an opportunity. if i was them i would focus less on attacking other people there and explaining to america what are the values you hold dear? what are the principles, the governing principles? how will you fix the economy? what

now you can see why ronald reagan loved him so much. one of reagan's great lines among, many, many of them was the only proof of eternal life in washington. is government program. i like to say that easier to kill a vampire than a government program. but the analogy is a good one because both suck lifeblood out of their homes. so what i make up for an intellectual death, i try to cover up with humor, property and, profit, coolidge believed were keys to national prosperity. when government attacks, such things would weaken nation and government itself. don't expect to up the weak by pulling down the strong, he said in his 1914 inaugural address as president of the massachusetts state senate. oh, if that philosophy were only embraced today in our age of envy, greed and entitlement it remains a powerful rebuke to the current welfare state which believes in punishing the rich by ever higher taxation in order to subsidize the poor and thus perpetuate them in their poverty, the normal must take care of themselves. serves coolidge believed what

ronald reagan was always bouncing up, not bouncing down. e never attacked, mondale was a great guy, a wonderful opponents to have, very competent and all that. reagan was better. reagan had a better vision of what america would be. the stock market under reagan was phenomenal moving forward, don't know if you remember, january 1, '83 to june 1984, increase gdp by 12. neil: i used to talk, you are very dismissive of me but that was understood. >> it is not biden, just not biden. we aren't better off than we were four years ago. neil: there you go again. art laffer on all that. in the mean point. watch it closely, the big debate is tonight at 9:00 pm eastern, kicks off on fox news, don't forget to watch it. stocks running up fast and furious. can fisher was predicting things would get bumpy. they got little bumpy but he's as bullish as ever saying that is what happens in the early days of a market. where are we in this market? ♪ new projects means new project managers. you need to hire. i need indeed. indeed you do. when you sponsor a job, you

ronald reagan, bill clinton, barack obama, donald trump were called unelectable.esident. meanwhile republicans were told that senator john mccain would be more electable against president obama in 2008, and romney in 2012, they both wound you of losing. -- up losing. but they both wound up not being electable in those races. if someone has lost a lot of other political races, i would pay attention to, that if someone were widely seen as unlikeable, i would pay attention to that. there are candidates who look great on paper, but only on paper. and then there are candidates that we're told are prone to gaffes and verbal missteps, yet the american people seemingly overlook those short comings because they find them to be authentic. electionbility is fun tong about. and really hard to prove -- electability is fun to think about and hard to prove, perhaps we're best voting for whoever matches our ideology on the issues and lead electability part to the so-called experts who told us that ronald reagan was unelecti unelectable. good night from south carolina ♪ ♪ >> this

the significant visit to moscow of us president ronald reagan on may 29 on june 2, 1988, thanks to unprecedentedo the media , the entire country watched in detail for 5 days how friendly reagan and his elegant wife nancy behaved as a symbol of a real exit from the cold war. and s. with what sincere cordiality they were received everywhere while walking around the kremlin, the raven standing at the church for the first time declared that this supposedly weighty union of the evil empire is no longer considered belonged to a different era and a different country. and during the visit, reagan ritually took back his words about the evil empire a dozen times in response to repeated questions. it seems that many people wanted to make sure of the strength and finality of the denied. regan in moscow literally plunged headlong into gorbachev's glasnost. he gave an interview to the ogonyok magazine , met with dissidents released under an amnesty, and feasted at a banquet with the soviet intelligentsia. in the central house of writers, i walked along the arbat, which had become pedestrian, and finally gave
