and he campaigns on lowering taxes, as you would expect ronald reagan, to campaign on. d the first thing he does in office is raise taxes. so bring us into that episode of the book it showed i'll defend reagan of course always defend reagan and show this flexibility of thinking when he ran for governor he did not realize how bad the situation was in sacramento, how the budget was losing $1,000,000 a day, which, you know, the government, that's just chump change, right. but in 1966, it was a lot of money and they were losing it every day. and they also had a $500 million deficit. and reagan■h came in was told by meese and others said governor, we've got a serious problem on our hands. so he met with jesse unruh is then the speaker of the house who is a very powerful democrat out there ver famous. and unruh was urged to run for office. and he said he said means i'm going to have to give up drinking and women and he also said it was funny guy he also said if you can't take their money you can't take their money and. and drink their liquor and sleep with their women, you sho

daddy bush got rid of ronald reagan ideas. son bush went totally off to the left of ronald reagan. that is the reason why the republican party fell away to the side. host: that is jay. guest: again, with respect, this is not simply about reagan republicans. in fact we have a great deal for the former president. just as we did for dwight eisenhower and others. i would say to this gentleman that he is saying very kind things about president reagan, as he should. at the same time i do not think that ronald reagan would recognize where the party is today. many of the things that ronald reagan stood for like supporting the allies and peace through strength, i do not see that in the maga movement. ronald reagan would have been the first to support ukraine and their struggle. that is not where we are today as a party. i do not think that ronald reagan would be supporting these absurd tariffs. he believed in the free market. i am trying to understand. i consider myself a center-right type of person, moderately conservative. that is a good thing, frankly. some are very conservative and some

approve this message. >> please welcome to the stage, chairman of the board of trustees of the ronald reagan presidential foundation and institute, mr. fred ryan. [applause] mr. ryan: good morning. welcome to the reagan institute. we are delighted today to be joined by governor cox and first lady abby cox. thank you for joining us this morning. each year the chair of the national governors association tackles an issue they care deeply about. ultimately they shape that issue into the initiative that helps them define their time as nga leader. as this year's chair, governor cox took on a bold challenge. getting americans to get along better. the governor's disagree better initiative was born of a deep concern over polarization in our country. governor cox recognized the nation needs leaders to step up and model a more positive path forward, and the governors to be the front line of this work. the nga and organizations around the country have convened conversations recorded as, written not beds, and organize debates in service of the role of disagreeing better. to learn more about the progress

tip o'neill and ronald reagan had it right. when ronald reagan was shot and he was lying in the hospital, tip o'neill showed up, knelt by his bedside and held his hand and pray for him. that's america. that's who we are come a pluralistic society. our nation was founded on profound disagreement with institutions that knew we would have a whole bunch of different people, the idea that a nation founded on an idea, not on a religious or racial people come it was founded on this idea that all of us are created equal and that we are giving these god-given rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and government was designed to protect us from those things. we set up institutions and no one could get to powerful so we would have to find ways to work together. it's the only way our nation can survive is our willingness to be ronald reagan and tip o'neill. >> on this point of members of congress, they infrequently engage with other parties but governors do engage with the other party. why is it worth it for governors and not

i think ronald reagan would approve. so we will continue to work with our ukrainian counterparts to help them develop that. and that is exactly right, that is what they are trying to do, to get that regional economic development moving. mr. ryan: there is a question over there. >> good morning. thank you for all the work that you are doing. i am curious to know what the perception has been like on college campuses, if you have brought discussion to different campuses. gov. cox: yeah. we kind of try to focus on some different areas. one, youth and families, and we will have more to say. we are convening in nashville in a couple days and we will be talking about that. working with ceo's whose slack channels are blowing up and really struggling with conflict resolution. of course elected officials. but the fourth area was on college campuses. so we've been working with different groups, some of you may be familiar with braver angels. braver angels has an amazing campus debate model. and so we have taken that campus debate m

's modern-day lessons from one of america's greatest president ronald reagan. ill be right back. >> welcome back america. we hear often about the similarities between reagan and trump but it cannot be said enough true great patriots who love their country understood the evils of the centralized all-powerful government and cared about what the american people thought and did everything they could to improve their lives. nobody better than my buddy craig shirley to discuss this. go. >> you know the there are historians and their historians and i'm one of the great historians on the reagan era and ronald reagan with us today is very important because there are lessons we can learn from reagan and his presidency his candidacy that i think are crucial today when people are running around mostly people who never supported reagan and never would support reagan telling us what reagan thought and they are more reagan than reaganites are. our buddy is craig shirley his fantastic new book the search for reagan. craig why did you ride this book and how would it impact us to

the last republican to win new york in a presidential election was ronald reagan. and this was 40 years ago. and in the bronx, this is the area of ​​the city where trump decided to hold his rally. republicans haven't won in 100 years, but it looks like that could change this november. for trump not making his first foray into democratic territory, a couple of weeks ago he rallied tens of thousands of people in new jersey, another liberal stronghold, in new york. only 35 of his supporters showed up for the rally, the park is small, and they clearly miscalculated; many more people came to want to make the ex-president active again; the line to watch and listen to trump was at least a kilometer long. enough is enough biden, enough is enough, we don’t need biden anymore for nothing, and no democrats, trump and republicans, that’s what we need. blacks and latinos, of course, not all, but many, those who used to traditionally vote democratic. horrified by what is happening to the city and the country. we will change the situation in new york very, very quickly. we will b

you constantly ask yourself, what would ronald reagan do? what's the ronald reagan did. >> well, look. i think in this case to say, look. i'm all for the humanitarian peace here, and that can be done, but i am not for saying -- what the president said is different. he said, if they go into rafah, i'm not supplying the weapons, period. he didn't say something else. that's what he said, and i have to go by his words because you know what? they're not giving us any information. the state department, this administration, have not been transparent. they have been hiding the eight ball, and that's what he said. >> martha: just quickly if you can, you heard tess ingram. you heard the horrible situation on the ground. are you comfortable when you see those pictures of children and estimates are 14,000 children have died there. are you comfortable with that? >> no. i'm not at all. it's heartbreaking, you know, war as they asay is hell. war is messy, but israel didn't start this war. hamas started this war and israel's going to finish this war, and un

you may recall that, at the end of the debate that jimmy carter and ronald reagan had, reagan looked right at the camera and asked the american people, are you better off than you were four years ago? of course, at that time, americans said no, we are not worse off, and reagan won the election. i think that is the same question donald trump will ask the american people when they debate in june and later in the fall. are you better off financially than you were four years ago, and for the vast majority of americans, that answer is no. host: i want to follow-up on the point you made about purchasing power, because there is a report out from the congressional budget office this week about how inflation has affected household at different income levels since 2019, right before biden came into office. the cbo says, on average, purchasing power increase, but the effect varied by income group. in particular, for households in every point i'll, or fifth, of the income situation, their share of income required to pay for their consumption bundle decreased on average, because income grew faste

i'm a recipient of the ronald reagan peace and strength award. never thought that would happen when i was in law school in 1980. i'm not trying to suggest the same thing for now but that, for me, was a huge education. >> you know, i will speak to the educational.. if i may. what i have said over the past year or two is that we should have thought of this when we were not educating. and now, we are paying the price for that failure in education that you are even talking about. i guess as fate would have it, we are having to pay the price for that failure at the very moment in american history when we need that education. so that those of us who are in this room and our colleagues out across the country, we are now on the pointy end of the spear, having to defend america's democracy and law and we are the generation, you know, that was educated but the generations that are going to be needed in the future have not been educated. which is another way of saying that, for those who are going to have to defend our country in the next generation, they a

conservatives to well, the republican party is not the same party as it was in the presidency of ronald reagan writes, proud reagan almost been extremely conservative anti communist president. but he did sign the immigration reform and control act in 1986, which was the last that gave the immigration and the state to about 2 and a half 1000000 people. now it also had some repressive aspects to it. it sort of initiated the whole process of notarizing the border for instance. so even then, um it was sort of a, a compromise. right? but the republican party is that exist under donald trump is not interested in a compromise of any kind that would offer a legal status. for instance, the people who don't have it. democrats, you know, they really have not oppose this in a way they're running scared on, you know, when biden proposes compromise that you referred to earlier. and i think is main reason for doing that was to try to kind of blunt the attack of, of truck and extreme republicans on that said the biting is soft of migration. so instead of really providing a real principle, the fierce defense o

it's just antithetical, not just to the philosophical beliefs of ronald reagan, but to the positive attitude about america and its prospects. so reagan wakes up and he's shocked? right. and he's also like, what is this internet thing? maybe we should send steven seagal over there to kick putin's ass. wait a minute, steven seagal already lives there. this is all too confusing. let's just go back to ignoring aids. i think he'd be stunned that the republican party had anything to do with donald trump. what is trump's infatuation with putin? well, i think he has a fascination with authoritarian leaders generally. i think trump would like to be a big guy, but i don't think he's smart enough to be a dictator. so is trump, what's the term, an idiot? well, i think rex tillerson had the iconic two-word description of trump. the first word, i won't repeat, even on your show. the second of which was moron. ok, i'll throw it in there-- [bleep] that's pretty much on point. yes, a [bleep] moron. right. can a [bleep] moron still be a useful idiot? i think the answer to that is yes, and i think vladimir put

the us nuclear-powered aircraft carrier ronald reagan was also caught in the lens.he shooting probably took place at the beginning of the week. on the eve. the aircraft carrier ronald reagan left the japanese base; local journalists noted that some local residents saw off the ship as they wished not to return. the largest in russia the it conference, which opened today in moscow, was attended by more than 3,500 people in its first hours. the connection with science and technology became its main theme. this year, among the most pressing issues are the use of artificial intelligence in design and the assistance of neural networks in drug development. report by olga mische. “there are no standards here, and the high-tech future seems to have already arrived. while waiting for the first theses about it prospects, industry representatives are practicing professional skills: creating program code, as they say, on the go, more precisely by weight. the main thing for us is not to write down a program, the main thing for us is to understand what a person wants, our consumer

back in 1980 ronald reagan visited the deep blue neighbourhood. he was then running against jimmy carter and trump certainly hoping history repeats itself because that was the reagan flipped new york state blue unseating president carter. and other live luckier in the bronx it's been a longer ride since a republican candidate won the support of voters. 1 of the things they're focusing on is crime. it's top of mind for people in the bronx and voters across new york as his trial started in the big apple, 33 murders and 1300 robberies according to police data. t we want to hear first in america about that because in new york city people are getting debit cards, fast-track to the shelter system. >> reporter: but this is a lot different to see this out here in the bronx compared to some other areas we've gone to for rallies. but we have seen trump in harlem and he does pull out a cry. people think he might not have support but i don't have to tell you, people from all over new york came here and are waiting in line to hear the former president speak. ma

interestingly except for ronald reagan a lot of debates in any candidates or names on the ballot couldhat right there at geoe h.w. bush for sure. we move moved deeply into the television era. went mentioned the most famous of those kennedy and nixon. a sense of how powerful the visual is people listening on the radio. people listening on the radio thought richard nixon one. if you are watching on television, john f. kennedy came off so much more polished and smooth the thought he won. quick to say it nixon did not wear makeup. he was sweating. it transitions us into this era or visual presentation becomes as important. it's not just what you are saying but the substance of what you're saying. so before that happened in 1968 impact in the psyche of presidential politicians no one wanted to do te televise debates again. because if looked at these script on the entire campaign. it was not until 1976 so 16 years later there actually was a televised debate gerald ford was the income but although he had not been elected he came after nixon taken on carter he made a mistake and ate debate tha

as i saw when i was wrong about ronald reagan, i want to make another point i want to make about thisspeech. is that it's harsh words. and what reagan said played key role in the end of the cold war. there's no question that this speech got the soviets attention. the new york times reported that tass stated that the president had, i'm quoting now, slandered the soviet union with crude anti-soviet ism and was supporting a fascist regime's. another soviet newspaper, izvestia, was equally harsh, calling it labeling the speech. i slander of the soviet union and arguing that the president washington administration does not to come to terms with reality, and it will not the principle of peaceful coexistence. the negative reaction of the soviet tells us reagan succeeded in getting the attention of the soviets. reagan richard pipes, the national security council staff member i mentioned earlier, a very significant soviet scholar, told reagan about the soviet, and reagan's reaction was, so we touched a nerve. he wanted to get their attention. the harsh words also cheered in the soviet union. f

and we'll draw the parallel between ronald reagan's visit to the bronx in 1980 and donald trump's rally there last night if. in the 1980 election, ray began won new york state. does -- reagan won new york state. does the parallel hold for donald trump in 2024? we'll see. it's friday, may 23rd, 2024, "varney & company" about to begin. ♪ ♪ i want to wake up in that city that doesn't sleep ♪ stuart: first of all, ladies and gentlemen, i did make a mistake right there. the not the 23rd of may, it is the 24th. i should know that because it's my youngest daughter's birthday today and, boy, did i just make money mistake. [laughter] i'm going to call i it an historic event. trump in the south bronx, thousands of support's joined the former president -- supporters joined the former president. madison alworth, take us through the highlights. >> reporter: absolutely, stuart. there were, like you said is, thousands of people and thousands more than the campaign initially expected showed up to this rally. trump himself said on stage we wanted to call this a meeting but, quote, like it or not, this i
