the book was quoted more by -- president reagan most quoted author. he quotedded the book regularly throughout the administration. and reagan didn't balance the budget. he had actually during the reagan administration there was a trillion dollar enclose in government debt. he was winning the cold war. but the private sector increased the assets by some 17 trillion that ares. the private economy was all in the red. and what really matters is not just the account. that's the theme. it's the [inaudible] and ultimately too much debt is unfortunate. but what matters is not so much the liability of the economy, it's the assets and under reagan's supply side movement, the private assets of the american economy boomed. and so the liability became less significant in our economy thrived throughout the period. >> george, a lot of fellow travelers from the past on the sup ply side have let go of the they theory. >> yep. a lot of them become involved in it the silly analysis of what happened after clinton raises tax rates or clinton drastically lowered the capital gains tax and that was where most of the new revenues came.

have you ever disagree with any decision of the reagan administration? where in your judgment as loyalty and and principal begin? >> i owe my president judgment and loyalty. you cannot have the president of the united states looking over his shoulder wondering whether the vice president will be supporting him. she has quite a few differences with vice president mondale. i understood it when she changed her position. she voted to extend the grain embargo. he now says he was against it. if they win, she will have to accommodate some views. she will give him the same kind of loyalty that i am giving president reagan. one, we are not far apart on anything. i can walk into the oval office any time and give them my judgment. he might agree, and he might not. he also knows i will not be talking to it to the press and try to make myself look good to complicate problems for the president of the united states. >> your opponent has served in the house of representatives. he has been ambassador to china, director of the central intelligence agency and now he has been

come in with an agenda to reverse the -- what the reagan white house sees as the excesses of the warren and the berg are courts. >> host: the reagan administration was more vigorous in the pursuit of that angle. >> guest: yes. >> host: than the nixon administration. there was anybody who would be have been contention against william to be chief justice in 1986? >> guest: i think sandra day 0'connor, actually, you wrote a book about her. i actually think that at some point a lot of people were discussing 0'connor from the moment she came on the court, i think, as a potential chief justice. whether there was anyone mids the reagan administration that considered that, i don't know. but i know that there were many that thought that could work. ultimately i think that when they looked at 0'connor they saw that was just -- she had the human quality about her that she unpredickble. okay. >> host: they didn't like unpredictability. >> guest: reagan knew that william was going to be predictable. there were urinal suspects, robert was out there the the time. and conceivably could be have been considered. this this case. it was william to lose and so it wa

spending for foods food stamps is way, way up under the reagan administration. af d.c. is up under the reagan administration. and i am not going to be found wrong on that. i am sure on my facts. we are trying to help, and i think we are doing a reasonable job. we are not going to rest until every single american that wants a job gets a job, and until this prosperity and this recovery is benefiting many americans benefits all americans. >> vice president bush, one of the most emotional issues in this campaign has been the question of the separation of church and state. what are your views on the separation of church and state, specifically with regard to abortion? do you believe it was right for the archbishop of philadelphia to have a letter read in 305 churches urging catholics to fight abortion with their votes? >> i do believe in pluralism, i do believe in separation of church and state. i don't consider abortion a religious issue, i consider it a moral issue. i believe the archbishop has every right to do anything he wants in that direction just as i never call to je

and also what it might mean in the long run to our economy began with the deregulation of the reagan administration. >> that probably is the most dramatic moment. and the reagan administration did more than just deregulation. they lowered the taxes on the top. one of the things to remember, several decades after world war ii were decades in which the country grew much faster than it did in the decades after 1980. and the country grew together. every group grew but the bottom grew more than the top. so we-- we grew together. after 1980, we grew most slowly and we grew apart. one of the things is we lowered the tax rates on the top. that increased the divide. and the other one is we deregulated, particularly in the financial sector, continued under clinton, under bush. >> rose: where you were the chairman of the council of economic -- >> i opposed those deregulation movements. but this deregulation allowed the banks more scope for moving money from the bottom, all those kind of predatory lending and kinds of practices that we saw. move the money from the bottom to the top. and if you look disproporti

pontoons, the stealth steel skin and the sophisticated bridge all state- of-the-art during the reagan administration. it was built inside the barn to shield it from spy satellites. the project though was scrapped in the early 1990s. now sea shadow will be scrapped as well. sold off in five foot sections. >> they operated it for a couple years on two different occasions and it was successful beyond their expectations. >> cia ordered it to be cut up. hmb 1 the hughes mining barn will live on. it is currently being refurbished. >> crime comes to a bay area campaign. >> i was lucky. some people in our city who are victims of crime who are not lucky. >> how one local candidate found himself face to face with a campaign issue. >> the tokyo business that is bringing couples together for a couple of minutes. stit's not what you think. >> our boys with their backs against the wall. we're live in st. louis with the outcome of game three and what has to happen next. been a >>> new at 10:00, the head of oakland's port commission has been placed on paid leave over a strip club controversy. the executive director

reverse the, um, what the white house, what the reagan white house sees as the excesses of the warren and the berger courts. >> host: now, the reagan administration was much more vigorous in its pursuit of that angle -- >> guest: yes. >> host: -- than the fix son administration. so was there really ever anybody who would have been in contention against william rehnquist in 1986? >> guest: well, i think sandra day o'connor, actually. you wrote a book about her. i actually think that, um, that at some point, um, a lot of people were discussing o'connor almost from the moment she came onto the court, i think, as potential chief justice. um, whether there was anyone inside the reagan administration that seriously considered that, i don't know. but i know that, um, that there were many that thought that that could work. ultimately, i think that when they looked at o'connor, they saw somebody that was just -- she had this human quality about her that she could, she was unpredictable, okay? >> host: they didn't like unpredictability. >> guest: they didn't want unpredictability, and reagan knew that rehnquist was just going to be completely predictable.

bargaining and it's put in unions on the defensive didn't a lot of the slow really begin with the reagan administration ronald reagan being the first president to appoint a secretary of labor who was actually hostile to labor. ronald reagan certainly bold employers and one of the things we've seen from reagan the scott walker is the face of the public sector union movement in the private sector union movement are intertwined as we see what we see now with the rest that when you see an attack on the public sector it spills over into the private sector and vice versa and certainly reagan made a signal and scott walker made a signal that you can go for the juggler and get away with it and employers have taken that they certainly have josh eidelson thank you so much for being with us tonight thank you very much moving now from the fight for organized labor to the fight for the ninety nine percent happy birthday occupy d.c. demonstrations took place all across the nation's capital today as occupy participants marks the one year anniversary of the occupation of washington d.c. targeting the corrupted influen

very good point have i do want to raise this question here and you know during the 1980's the reagan administration we had nancy reagan's war on drugs that basically gave us gave the military a unfettered access a launch to colombia nicaragua the bush administration had the war on terror and now we have this cycle threat of cyber warfare perhaps a stand of back unchallenged foreign policy as perhaps you alluded to a moment ago. well what's even more curious is that just yesterday the new york times reported on the front page that there was an attack on the u.s. saudi oil into prizes saudi arabia that disrupted the activities of the major into teaching the allegation in the new york times was that iran had struck back at united states because of stuxnet you know i'm not sure of what can give any credibility to such a story. but one inference that can be drawn is that when the united states begins cyber warfare it basically opens doors box it opens the opportunity for other countries to retaliate against united states and so when you talk about the opportunity for other countries to retaliate against

to old cranks like john sununu who, by the way, hasn't had an intelligent thought since the reagan administration. why is he the top surrogate for mitt romney? because he speaks to that guy, archie bunker. >> you know, i have to think that all this stuff, i grew up with watching it, from the south mainly, but some were from rizzo and philadelphia, and stuff like that, ben tillman and george wallace and, you know, all those characters down there used to do it, but now it's the sophisticated guys, governors of big states. rich guy in new york, trump. all over the place they keep doing this. >> what we see is a continuum. it goes all the way from the birtherism as we talked about a way to define barack obama as being foreign because he either has the wrong ideas or because he's black, whatever it might be, to the idea he doesn't understand american. you know, mitt romney has said again and again he doesn't get america, probably will play sununu saying earlier, a few months ago, listen, i wish this guy would learn how to be an american. all the way, it's all about saying he's not one of us, and peopl

if you just take a step back and say okay, the first three quarters or so of the reagan administration50%. we've grown substantially. clinton raises the rate at the top. and we're still growing. and those kinds of anecdotes is growth rate in top tax rates are unkorel yaited so i think that this is a way overstatement. and using that to say tax cuts goring to pay for themselves there is evidence that that is not the case. >> thank you. nice to see you. >> great to see you again. >> and up next our political panel. we're going to ask about smiles, sneers and substance. stay where you are. >> he sent me two letters saying by the way, can you send me some stimulus opinion for companies here in the state of wisconsin? we sent millions of dollars. >> sure. >> and by the way. >> two occasions we advocated for constituents for grants. we do that for all constituents. >> i love that. this is such a bad program. he writes me a letter saying the reason we need this is it will create growth, and jobs. his words. . now, back to greta. >> and here is what we're saying. give younger people when they

bush and president clinton and was actually in the reagan administration. "mitt romney seems fixated on why washington did not know it better clarity and sooner what went on during a terrorist attack. it is the kind of question that comes from someone with no experience dealing with terrorism or crisis management or combat." >> i don't think that americans are going to cast their votes based on this. this the classic kind of washington talk show, who knew what and when. in any case, no matter what the facts are, it just does not seem that it is a voting issue. >> it is an issue because it is about honesty, transparency, and leadership. if you want to go through the list of ways in which it hurts obama, the idea that he would have the secretary of state go out there and take the blame instead of taking it himself -- he nominally said -- >> he did say at -- >> he nominally did -- >> nominally? >> we just heard mark say that she sped up and said "i am the one responsible." yesterday they found a new scapegoat. dianne feinstein said that the director of dni gave

in the reagan administration and so they tend to look at russia as as an opponent they view the world through glasses that you're either with us or you're against us so you notice that romney talked about russia votes against us in the un well so do a lot of other countries but the point is that when the russians or the chinese have any kind of independence in terms of how the u.n. should be acting of them people by romney consider that the action of an opponent and i think that's what the differences here i think what you would see with a romney presidency is back to kind of bush and reagan this view of a much more polarized world with good guys and bad guys. and you're in it dr and i thank you so much for your point contributing editor to foreign policy in focus called thank you very much again thank you for having so two holes debates are stealing the show a big third party presidential candidate find lined and barred from taking part on equal terms but also he's helping turned the tables by offering the alternative names on the ballot a platform for discussion and you can watch th
