president ronald trump has been talking about the ceasefire between on the syria turkey border that ceasefire negotiated between turkey president and russian president vladimir putin that's got to be in place for 150 hours more which will allow time for kurdish forces to pull back and for turkey to be able to impose what it calls this site zone along with russia throughout the region there we're going to take a closer look now at that so-called site sign that ankara wants to create now to run along an area around 30 kilometers inside syria along the turkish border and russian and turkish joint patrols to run up to 10 kilometers deep on both sides of an area that runs between tel aviv and wrestle i'm asama been joins us live now from sun the earth on the turkish syrian border i don't know if you were listening into too much of what donald trump had to say there but he was very adamant that that cease fire is holding you know it's been extended now for another 150 hours and turkish forces expected to pull back what are you hearing and seeing there on the border about just how this is playing ou

if you want to know who is acting like ronald reagan, it's donald trump. when we had the marines killed and beirut, ronald reagan looked at the situation and said, what are we going to do? sounds hundreds of thousands of troops and they are to us a civil war in libya and lebanon? is it not an american's interest. he brought the troops home. people confused ronald reagan's legacy. they hated ronald reagan for his ability to talk to the soviet union and have arms control agreements. the ronald reagan they remembered is not exactly the ronald reagan of history. >> martha: let me put up susan right here because i think it's an interesting comparison to take a look at how democrats felt when president trump decided it was time to leave iraq. she was a secretary of state. she said this is among the most dishonest, craven statements ever from trauma. to justify this, we need to find out why -- what did he get in exchange for sacrificing our national security. we should point out that was a retweet of the reporter jennifer griffin. >> it's true -- it's truly trump

host: your reaction to that assessment from george will, not a fan of donald trump but longtime republican, supporter of ronald reagan. >> guest: he made a comment in my book how america's political parties change. george has written he is not a republican anymore. he doesn't identify with the republican party, free to give advice to people who count themselves as republicans, gives many people directions but he would like to see a different republican coalition. i think the republican coalition may change over time but looking back over the last 25 years since the 1990s since bill clinton broke the democrats, but suppose:00 on the presidency and newt gingrich broke the democrats oppose of the internal lock on the majority of the house of representatives. the democratic coalition has become gradually more upscale, high income people move toward the democratic party. one of the problems, both affluent voters in houston and dallas which stayed quite heavily republican decided in 2016 and more so in 2018 house races that they didn't like the donald trump republican party and started voting more democratic. you ha

>> that is the crucial question ronald reagan asked of america when he ran for president in 1980. and as trumpreelection campaign, many people are asking themselves the exact same thing. there is one group who does seem to be doing better than they were four years ago, the friends and family of the administration. new reporting from "the new york times" lays out a key relationship between the disgraced investor and his friend, steve mnuchin. he's in a position to potentially gain from some of the changes that his institute has urged the trump administration to enact. in one case the treasury secretary steven mnuchin directly intervened with a way that benefitted mr. mill ken. joining me now one of the editors that wrote the piece. help us understand this, because understand zones were discussed at the milken institutes conference last year. and michael milken isn't unique. if you take the savvy real estate investors out there, they've all jumped on this thing. >> what was particularly the matter that we focused on is that there is only one in the place united states out of the 8,700 opportunit

>> and this is so fundamentally different, of course, than ronald reagan, but it's in some ways a party that's antithetical to reagan and trump embodiment of -- what do you call it -- of identity politics. >> yeah. >> excuse me. you know, the republicans have always called out democrats for identity politics, and now this is really the epitome of that. j.w., i want to bring you back in here. while we're starting to see some republicans express concerns about president trump's conduct with ukraine, justin amash, adam kinzinger, mitt romney as mentioned are some of the folks that are doing it. then there is this from the house minority leader. watch this. >> president zelensky says, we are almost ready to buy more javelins from the united states for defense purposes. and president trump replies, i would like you to do us a favor, though. >> you just added another word. >> no. it's in the transcript. >> he said, i'd like you to do a favor, though? >> yes. it's in the white house transcript. >> were they given separate transcripts? i can't believe that they even use, j.w., this transcript as exculpatory or as saying that this exo

ronald reagan! okay, but may i remind you, i am all out of arguments. checkmate. now, trump'sies-- ( applause ) trump's allies also jumped to his defense, including former acting attorney general and lex loser, matt whitaker. ( laughter ) whitaker went on the fox and news and said this: >> i'm a former prosecutor, and what i know is, this is a perfect time for preliminary hearings where you would say, "show us your evidence." what evidence of a crime do you have? i mean, the constitution sort of-- you know, abuse of power is not a crime. >> stephen: we at "the late show" wanted to make sure we got the legal facts right, so we hired a team of 15 researchers and gave them all day to look into this. and while they were on the way to the office, i googled it on my phone, and it turns out that, yeah, abuse of power is definitely a crime. also, fun fact, in the federalist papers, alexander hamilton wrote that one cause for impeachment is the "abuse or violation of some public trust." that's coming straight from "hamilton." so trump might be impeached and win a tony! ( cheers and app

trump's presidential victory. he won the battle ground state by 23,000 votes. less than a 1% margin for those counting at home. he became the first republican to take wisconsin since ronaldry in 1984 but a new "fox news poll" shows how hard it could be for him to recapture wisconsin's crucial electorate. head-to-head matchups trump trails democratic front-runner joe biden by nine points. senator bernie sanders slightly better five points for p trump. elizabeth warren beats president by four points. those last two important to note are within the margin of error. this reflects overall unease about wisconsin voters on things like key issues reflected in the president's approval numbers. 54% disapprove president trump compared with 44% approval. when it comes to the democratic led house impeachment irwinery into the president, our poll shows 62% showed some level of concern about the situation, calling the issue in ukraine, quote, extremely troubling. so let you digest those numbers. think about how president trump won wisconsin, michigan and pennsylvania. when it comes down to it. we were talking, with a number of members of the trump campaign who feel as though, not only

trump administration. >> host: is this unique, in your view, to the obama appointees burrowing into the bureaucracy? >> guest: unique in this respect. when ronald reagan became president, he brought in many, if many free market, libertarian-oriented conservatives into the administration, into the powers. but we did not have the situation where there was the protection so that when the next administration came in, you were able to have, you know, a changeover. so with george bush and then with clinton, you were able to have a changeover. with bush you had a changeover. but now because it's so impossible to fire someone and there's so many protections that obama has put into place in protection of the bureaucrats, they've stayed in power. so, for example, out of 8,000 people in the executive services which is called the obama army, there's 8,000 people who are key players in hiring and firing and making policy decisions that are actively resisting at the highest levels of these bureaucracies. >> host: what are the roots in turkey of the deep state? >> guest: well, the government bureaucracies and many of the leaders discovered that they had to be

host: your thought on that sentiment from someone who has not been a fan of donald trump but was an early supporter of ronaldeagan. guest: he has made a comment on my book on how america's political parties have changed. george has written that he is not a republican anymore. he does not identify with the republican party. he gives many people advice in many directions. he would like to see a different republican coalition. i think the republican coalition may change over time but looking back over the last 25 years since the 1990's, since bill clinton broke the democrats, the republican's suppose a lock on the presidency and newt gingrich broke the -- broke the support -- the supposed lock for the democrats on the house of representatives. the democratic coalition has become gradually and suddenly more upscale, higher education, high income people have moved toward the democrat party. one of the problems of the republican party in texas is that those affluent voters in houston and dallas which had stayed quite heavily republican decided in 2016 and more so in 2018 that they didn't like the donald trump repu

trump should be given credit for. he's been very vocal about that, and i think he needs to be commended for that. i don't agree. i think that ronald reagan, if he ran in california, might surprise a lot of people with just how well. he was such a master communicator, i think that he could have reached out. i think that probably by now the people of california have not had a conservative alternative in how many years? so if somebody came along who was charismatic, who was principled, who understood some of the basic values and would be able to say, you know, people of california, let's not abandon such things as the family, as the community, as the constitution, i think ronald reagan would do amazingly well there. might not win, but i think he would run a closer and better race because i think that not only in terms of his charisma, but because he would have been able to articulate conservative principles in a relevant and appealing way today. >> host: and finally, the culture wars. >> guest: well, andrew breitbart, this wonderful statement of his in which he said that politics is downstream from culture, it so happened that the he

ronald reagan election, they should make her the candidate. she won't win in the middle part of america like north dakota, south dakota. where people care about their jobs. donald trump to this country being proud to be an american and unapologetic for being an american. they want to redistribute wealth. they want illegals to come across the border and kill americans. trish: impeachment. you know, it's moving at a pretty fast pace. how do you slow it down? >> i think the difference when you look at this impeachment process compared to what happened to bill clinton in the late 80s, late 90s. ken starr wrote a report and made five recommendations for criminal referral as it relates to bill clinton. there is no such referral for donald trump. he's not broken any laws. the democrats will vote on impeaching this president before christmas. they will go to the senate in early january. you will seat president acquitted of that by early january, which mirrors the time prime of what the democrats went through. >> you have seen that movie before. i wonder if this is why nancy pelosi is so resistant to the idea all along. not even getting the memo of the transcript of the call.

ronald reagan, george h.w. bush would've probably convened some sort of blue ribbon panel to make sure that our elections were protected in 2020. trumpas not done that. no one on his team has done that. he doesn't care. he welcomes the help from russia. and that's why he made light of it with vladimir putin. >> it's unbelievable. confusing sort of read-outs, first reads, but it would appear that what the state department shared or distributed was a packet of information that congressman raskin describes as propaganda furthering some of the conspiracy theories designed to take down mueller's conclusion i heard him say that russia had ordered and orchestrated the attack on our democracy. there's a thread to what i talked about earlier, tom bossert who was donald trump's homeland security adviser making some of the same claims in a sunday show television appearance saying that donald trump was married to these conspiracy theories about ukraine being to blame for the 2016 meddling. >> so the definition of corruption which is you move out of the way, people who are not corrupt you spread disinformation about them as a way to discredit the

ronald reagan -- >> new jersey's own bruce springsteen. >> reporter: to barack obama. >> he's the only guy a president still has to call the boss. other than the first lady. >> reporter: president trumps kind at a recent campaign rally. >> and i didn't need little bruce springsteen and all of these -- >> he was implying that other people need to have all that help. he doesn't need it. he's going back to 2016. this is 2019. your surprised he's trash talking you after all this time? >> not really. anything is possible. >> i know. i mean, a lot of people are very concerned about the direction of the country. >> it's just frightening. the stewardship of the nation is being thrown away. it's somebody who doesn't have a clue as to what that means. you know? i mean, the united states of america is in your care. do you know what the stakes are? do you know what that means? and unfortunately we have somebody who i feel doesn't have a grasp of the deep meaning of what it means to be an american. >> you know, you campaigned for barack obama and hillary clinton. is there anybody if they call you, you said, okay, i'll go out? you still assessing yourself? >> i mean, i've kind of spent my chips on

trump. [video clip] >> every president in recent memory has understood the value of immigration to our nation. in his last speech as president of the united states, president ronaldeagan said i have an important message to the country i love. he went on to say, thanks to each wave of new arrivals to this land of opportunity, a nation forever young, forever bursting with energy and new ideas, always on the cutting edge, always leading the world to the next frontier, this quality is vital to the nation. president reagan went on to say, if we close the door to new americans, our leadership in the world would soon be lost. >> our country is doing great, unemployment is very low, we just came out with 224,000 new jobs, the numbers are unbelievable. that is bringing people up like they have never come up. border patrol and ice have done a great job. people are being removed from the country, we are removing them. we are starting with ms-13. we have taken out thousands of them. we have never had an onslaught -- the reason they came up -- and they come up -- is because the country is doing well and they want jobs. susan: the tenor of much of the discussion in the country
