ronald regan. i guess, guys, ronald regan's name is going to come up quite a bit, but the argument that scott walker has had, first to you, anthony, is that donald trump is no ronald regan, and i don't know whether it will be your candidate, nick, i don't know whether it will be your candidate, but i imagine some others will happily point that out. how important will that be tonight for your guys to do just that? anthony? >> well, you know, i'll start out by saying that i think that the focus is going to be on him because he's the front-runner, but if you can get that orange meringue haze off the stage for a moment and look at people that really have a track record in governing and reform, well, you've got a leading executive, political executive by the name of scott walker. i hope that's the message that governor walker gives out tonight, that cutting through all the haze and cutting through all the call to personality, he's a guy that believes in growth and reform and can help make the country a

but, ronald regan got things done. he found a way to get things done and to find some compromise and i do think that we have great leaders that we should look back on and maybe try to model what they did because washington is really broken right now, and it doesn't serve any of us if they're not going to get any anything done. so, you know, i'll feel like if we actually did get some things done, you know, bipartisan way, we would get something done. that's my feeling. >> over here. >> hello, we were wondering, you told your counselor that you were leaving stanford, when did you go back to school? >> thank you for asking. it was so important to get my degree but i had tv opportunities where i had not gone back, that wasn't even an option for me. from the gratest moment of my life winning scholarship and being able to call my mom and dad and saying, mom dad, i'm paying. i graduated with my freshmen because i had been gone that long, the year before, the year of being miss america and then sometimes after. getting my degr

average for monday >> pam :15 republican candidates traveled to the mecca for conservatism -- the ronald regan presidential library -- for the second republican primary debate. in two separate debates -- the candidates talked about the issues and. one another. cnn's mary moloney has the highlights. > >mary: for the second time in many debates they made politics more entertaining the initial focus in both debates was not policy but trump's >>:donald trump said the following about you won't look at that face can you imagine people saying that face as the president" >>:i think she is a beautiful woman >>:you got hillary clinton to go hear wedding because you gave her money >>:i was a businessman and i got along with people because that was my job. >> reporter :it wasn't all tough talk >>:i also aware that california had a drought and so that's why i brought my own water >> reporter :the candidates for both debates took a chance to pose in front of this hoping to exemplify the qualities that made ronald great >> pam :in sports. will raiders uqarterback derek carr be able to play sunday? . and gian

some presidents had wonderful writers for their scripts, ronald regan, one of his writers, who also then wrote for george w. bush when he became president and, of course, kennedy's ghost writers and franklin roosevelt. they are great speeches. words are much more important than many people realize. i remember when hillary clinton was running the last time and she accused her competition of just using words, using words is a huge part of leadership. the great presidents of all had the power of communication, lincoln, roosevelt, franklin roosevelt, kennedy, words matter, they endure and carry on following generations. we still quote them. imagine martinwe luther king without the power of his words. it's so important that we all learn the english language. one of aspects of the wright brothers was the quality of the letters they wrote. it wasn't that they were correct gram -- grammatically, they were clear, funny and touchy. they were incapable at the collection in congress proves, they were incapable of writing a short letter from a boring one. .. man beings, that is we're it is. what they

. >> you realize it was signed into law by president ronald regan. >> that's strapping. >> -- strange. >> you not liking it just proves the fact you are a huge rhino. >> you were talking about lowering the age for people in the military. it would be quite a tool. >> you have worn the uniform and served the station proudly. if you endorse it i am proud to be your friend. >> i am old if you have to drink . >> in your state you can drink an 18-year-old. >> in pass mass -- in massachusetts -- >> who goes to massachusetts? >> i was jus saying the way things were in my hood. >> so you cooperate drink anything? >> i had an occasional beer. >> you're irish. >> what are you saying? >> i was grandfathered in i think what happened. when the bill passed i was -- i must have been 18 when the bill passed in 1984. >> i if you were already 18 you could drink. people watching the show are loving that togs. >> it is fascinating. >> they are hammered now. >> i don't think you can make it against the law, right? don't they remove the federal funds -- >> highway funds. you mentioned the point of lowering

. >> ronald regan launched a campaign with those words. a year later, he fired 11,000 striking air traffic controllers, he set the tone for a future relationship with organised labour. >> there has been a movement for decades on union rights and movement in general. brian maloney. >> few support labour groups. >> on top of that, union membership declined. according to the department of labour, membership among wage and salary was 21.9% in 1983. the number is 11.1%, down 9%. all of this has political candidates and watchers uncertain about the importance of union endorsement. democrats have not lost sight frt fact that the demographic changes played to their constituency. today they combined to 22.4% to union workers. >> thinking about the union, the common pace of labour may have been now. increasingly it's latino. minority, and non-male, and that's changing how candidates are approaching the labour constituency. >> a field of candidates with names bike jed bush, chris christie, jindal and scott walker who said he'd work to make every stat

. >> host: you were critical starting from ronald regan to ending welfare in 1996, you were very criticalof people who you say didn't reform welfare. they killed it. >> guest: they did, indeed. >> host: you don't have a social net with money, but then you say, we shouldn't go back to afdc. >> guest: so i think we learned a fundamental truth by talking to these people, hearing how they think about the world. we do sort of pin the rise poverty on welfare reform. but none of our respondents think it's going to work. it also -- it kind of made a burr gain -- bargain with people at the bottom. if you engage in personal responsibility, we'll give you the work opportunity. so as we showed, people have entered the labor market. they fulfilled their part of the bargain but we have an unfinished revolution. there's simply not enough work to go around not even chicago which is a book town compared to mississippi. there's not enough work in tennessee. automation is likely to make this worst. so when a lot of economists look at this, they say, well, we need to create a really rich unemployment system.

the ronald regan library opened in 1991 and fewer records were open. that's what they are. i wrote a book about them. some of what i read was brochure language or incompleement -- incomplete or just downright inacademy -- inaccurate. while i was researching i came across difficulties. for example, the national archives stopped me from access 40 years of presidential libraries. they fought me. they told me that they weren't able and that they needed for everyday operation. that's why they weren't available. they encouraged me to file freedom request, which i did. i sent it in my request and denied because it was too big. i was encouraged to narrowed it. i was denied for being too narrowed. [laughs] >> i stumbled across something that change the course of the book and my life, i don't want to read passages baa i want to get this part right, i don't want people to read the book and get the idea that the part-time that are working and preserve the records, they are not, they're the it treasurers of the system. it was the higher-level officials who didn't want to have the dirty

. >> i think i flew on this plane with ronald regan when i was a congress and his goals and mine pretty. we're at a crossroads right now. are we going to take the reagan approach, the hopeful optimistic approach. >> all right, lisa. who is best in line? who handled it best? >> well, i think marco rubio and carly fiorina, and the reason being, i think there are a lot of republicans across the country that feel that we are at a critical juncture. the majority of americans feel like the country is heading down the wrong track and we're in desperate need of leadership. i think that carly fiorina and marco rubio showed a command of the issues last night and showed that kind of leadership that this country desperately needs. >> lisa boothe joining us. it was a long night. it was exciting even though it was three hours long. >> very long. >> fun to watch. >> thank you so much, lisa. >> thank you for having me. >>> it's now seven minutes until the top of the hour. just call it the pre-polls. social media explodes overnight about the gop debate. authorities keep up. which are talking the most? t

. >> ronald regan -- >> could you agree with regan on those two things? ted cruz sparring with stephen colbert last night. colbert challenged cruz on building himself as the new ronald regan, and he said he will not engage in the name calling that has already taken over the republican race. >> firing right side, and revis with another turnover. >> when you throw the ball against revis under fire, bad things will happen. >> that's right. revis showing why he's one of the game east best, and we will show you how gang green got the upset on monday night football. >> 6:02. traffic and weather on the 2s for you. >> it's one of the bumpers that scott shannon uses every day. the jets are going to be great. yeah, we actually do voices now! cloudy skies and wet weather to the west. 62 in the city. winds are variable to the west. it's north and west, more of ulster, and parts of dutchess county. you can see it weakening showers for our neighbors north and west, and there's a building ridge of high pressure. it will definitely impact our weather. gradually clearing

want to remind you of what has become i believe prophetic words that were spoken by president ronald regane. without god, democracy will not and cannot long endure. if we ever forget that we are one nation under god, then we will be a nation gone under. my friends, fellow values, voters, patriots, americans, we must not let that happen on our watch. [applause] >> it is now my privilege to introduce our first speaker, senator john mccain, a 22-year career naval pilot, he has worked tirelessly to defend religious liberty, and i will say this, i know it because i have worked with him and he has made religious liberty a top priority as he chairman of armed services committee. he was the republican nominee for president in 2008. and i will tell you that i told him he and i don't agree on everything, but then again i'm a baptist and don't agree with myself on everything. [laughter] >> this i can say with confidence, had he won the 2008 presidential election, we would not be arming our enemies with nuclear weapons nor would our military have become laboratory for social experimentation. elections

the post game show for the candidates who were on the stage last nightr ronald regan library, how they did. >> chris christie, donald trump, carly fiorina, marco rubio. send us questions so we can pose them straight from you. >> you'll see over the next three hours throughout the day. i think everybody on the stage had their moment. it wreaked of competence. everybody said, i know these issues. waiting for the moment. one thing clear, cnn wanted it. i want you -- >> split screen. >> tell me about you. >> we're going to share with you how frustrated you all were. we've heard about the format that cnn put forward. >> yes. it was terrible. we're going to talk about that in two minutes. the republican debate in the books. who stole the show at the seemy valley at the ronald regan library. >> john roberts is live in simi valley, california, with the details. a late night, john. who came out with a win, a loss, and what's the overall tone today? >> a late night and early morning. steve bryan. i don't want to pick any winners and losers. my twitter account tends to blow up when i did that. le

it's being held at the ronald regan presidential library, and there's going to be two debates tonight, one for the four candidates trailing in the polls, and then the main event for the eleven leading candidates. >> we had no idea it was going to be here. we made our reservations to be here months ago. we didn't realize the debate would be here. >> there's going to be 400 invited guests, and donald trump is top in the polls both nationally and in the first few key states. he's going to be center of attention tonight. >>> get ready to give a thumbs down. the feature that facebook users have been waiting for. these sticks could be putting lives in danger. >>> imagine being chased by this. the close encounter two fishermen had with killer whales. >> it's like a james patterson novel all of a sudden, with the animals. >>> when is the next chance for rain? don't go away. graphic -- traffic and weather on the 2s, coming up. >>> 4:42, and here's john. >> that was exciting. did you see me race into the studio like that? it's only 4:42, and we start rehearsals at 1:42, so we are ready! 55, tha

you can't fly between 15 miles from ronald regan airport, but i doubt when you order your dji phantom on line that those instructions are on there. >> is there a size or weight that sets up the limitations here? >> 55 pounds or less. to tag on what fred was talking about, the regulation he's talking about is ffa's advisory circumstanceular 91-57 in case anybody wants to look that up. it's not that easy to find but you will eventually find it. the biggest thing that jumps out is use your good judgment. when you're talking about model aircraft, not commercial flight, that was a notice and we can talk about that here shortly, really is use your good judgment. in the event that you violate good judgment, i guess, by going into restricted air space you are looking at fines. scott, i know you're going to talk -- >> before we get into more of the laws, what about -- i mean, it's pretty obvious to me that there's privacy issue here that's raised by the small drones that anybody can operate, do you have any thoughts on that? >> yeah, thank you. so i think that the civil liberties concerns fall

the other way is the way that ronald regan did, as the economy grows faster people pay more taxes andkind of tax increase i want. i'm not so sure that's what donald trump is talking about. a month ago he was asked if he want today pay more taxes because he's a rich guy, he said no, i don't want to pay more taxes, if i pay more taxes that means as a businessman, i have less money to pay my workers. that's the donald trump i like. stuart: he said a lot of things. we'll get the details, but it sounds to me like a populous plan and-- >> flat tax, flat tax. stuart: okay, got you, steve. president obama about to address the united nations. climate change right now on the agenda, but the big tagline is this, the president meets with vladimir putin later on today. it looks like the russians have virtually taken over the middle east. and you just heard from steve moore. at 11:00 we hear from the man himself. the second hour of "varney & company" is about two minutes away. join us as we celebrate eddie's retirement, and start planning your own. just like eddie, the first step to reaching your r

but what makes him the least regan-esque? >> ronald reagan didn't attack the people around him or didn't demean the people around him. he brought everybody together at the end. if republicans don't bring everyone together at the end of the day, we do not win elections. we are the smallest bus in the building. we don't have the ability to throw people off the bus and demean them. we have to figure out a way to put people on that bus and move it forward to washington, d.c. and i don't think that donald trump is the guy who, in fact, fills the bus with those people that he is demeaned as it goes, in fact, to the system. >> when i think of your father, one of the first things that comes to mind is his so-called 11th commandment. remind everybody what that was? >> thou shall not speak ill of another republican. now there's a 12th amendment by what i would imagine is donald trump, i willspeak llof everybody, in fact, until i get to where i want to, in fact, go. and that's what is sad here. when you don't have the issues, should i say, or th

ronald reagan did. carter was bogged down in details. regan had broad strokes. he just knew the soviet union was evil and that's all he said. >> that's all he had to say. trump is being called on being a politician. when a politician is asked something they don't know they answer with another answer. he is being honest. that's what is refreshing, is it not? people say, look, he is a straight shooter. he is an executive. do ceo's know every detail of their company? i don't think they do. >> i think that's a good point. a lot of his supporters consider him to be sort of like them. expressing his opinion maybe not in the most eloquent way and the smartest way, but he is relatable to the american voter. my problem is when this election season gets a little closer to voting time and we are talking about more sophisticated ideology and plans and policies, then he will really have trouble if he is still in the race and this is not just marketing for him. when someone comes to hire me as a lawyer, if all i said to them was don't worry, i got it. i got it. i don't know a

even ronald reagan's budget director is not enough. trish regan. that is our problem. its never ever enough. trish: no. you have politicians like bernie sanders and hillary clinton want to spend even more, neil cavuto. we're talking about it right now. the social it is beating the clintons. that is the headline after new series of polls show bernie sanders widening his lead in new hampshire and iowa against hillary clinton. welcome, everyone, to "the intelligence report." i'm trish regan. it is not just new hampshire and iowa she is struggling. if she manageses to eke out a victory against bernie sanders. guess what? new polls show the lead against republican frontrunner donald trump is declining. her lead is within the margin of error. what is taking joe biden so long to declare his candidacy? we have political panel. lisa booth and nomi kuntz. blake burman in the d.c. looking at numbers. >> reporter: trish, numbers are heading up for donald trump and opposite direction for hillary clinton. "abc news/washington post poll" clinton lost a third of her support since marc

regan library. you know, when i think of ronald reagan, i think of his tremendous smile, a smile that reflected hisief in faith in america and in americans, and it was that belief in america that led to a great presidency a presidency that led to decades of safety, security and prosperity for america. that's exactly the type of leadership we need in washington today, and that's why i'm running for president of the united states. thank you. [ applause ] >> hi, i'm rick santorum. some of you may know me because i led the the fight to end partial birth abortion. some of you may know me because the i led the fight to end welfare as you know it, put people back to work, reduce poverty and reduce the federal budget. some of you may know me because i successfully put sanctions on the iranian nuclear program in congress over opposition of both parties initially. hopefully, most of you know me most because i'm the proud father of seven children with particularly a special little disabled girl who is the heart and core of my heart and married to a wonderful woman named karen for 25 years who is the love of m

that thought came into my head when we were all standing on the stage at the regan library last wednesday. ronaldmerica because he was an of to mist. the republican debate drifted into personal attacks. in the end, i believe that the voters want to be for something and not against someone. instead of talking about how bad things are, we want to hear how we can make them better for everyone. we need to get back to the basics of our party. we are a party that believes that people create jobs, not the government. the best way to grow the economy is to get the government out of the way and build it fro the ground up. we are a party that believes that the way to measure success in government is by how many people are no longer dependent on the government because we ultimately believe in the dignity of work. we are the party that believes that a strong military leads to piece through strength and that that will protect our children and future generations. the goodwill ultimately triumph over evil. we are a party that believes in the american people, not the federal government. these ideas will help us

even ronald reagan's budget director is not enough. trish regan. that is our problem.ugh. trish: no. you have politicians like bernie sanders and hillary clinton want to spend even more, neil cavuto. we're talking about it right now. the social it is beating the clintons. that is the headline after new series of polls show bernie sanders widening his lead in new hampshire and iowa against hillary clinton. welcome, everyone, to "the intelligence report." i'm trish regan. it is not just new hampshire and iowa she is struggling. if she manageses to eke out a victory against bernie sanders. guess what? new polls show the lead against republican frontrunner donald trump is declining. her lead is within the margin of error. what is taking joe biden so long to declare his candidacy?
