ronald reagan would be the candidate who would who would deliver the results when it came to race as well. reagan struck a very different tone than his predecessor, jimmy carter. and certainly there was a sharp contrast here to lyndon johnson and the liberals, the 1960s, who made racial progress a cornerstone of what they tried to achieve. now, i think it's very important to recognize that reagan was certainly no bigot. i think i'm comfortable with that generalization, but he was someone who showed openness from his earliest days, something he imbibed, i think, from his family that was quite open minded and liberal on racial questions. there's i don't think, much evidence that he himself harbored any bigotry, but he was certainly willing to play the race card in his political campaigns. famous early. he he staged an event in the early moments of his 1980 political campaign in neshoba county, in mississippi, where three civil rights workers had been murdered back during the 1960s. and he gave a speech all about states rights. right. and this was understood as a kind of dog whistle poli

larry: celebrating ronald reagan, that's the socket of the riff. other in the reagan library for the kudlow show. first up, i believe it's necessary to celebrate the memory and the achievements of ronald reagan, who i believe was by far the most consequential president in the second half of the 20th century and he'll indeed go down as one of the greatest presidents in u.s. history. reagan changed economic policy. by the way, full disclosure i was assistant budget director during reagan's first term. i digress. he buried the fdr new deal, big government, socialist dogma governing democrats and republicans for nearly 50 years. reagan slashed rates and they're vanquishing inflation and listen to one of his many efforts. >> why is it inflationary if people keep their own money spend it the way they want and it's not inflationary of the government taking and spending it the way he wants to. larry: inflation plunged and going to have 12 fold. bringing down the co curtain on soviet communism and giving up star wars and reagan bluntly refused and told them

ronald reagan when he was a young man, they passed a law in the 20's. and they told people that it was going to create jobs and do this and do that, and what it created was the great depression. so ronald reagan has always been against that and when he voted for the first time, 21 years old then, he voted for franklin delano roosevelt. and he said in 1988, he told that story and he galls -- also gave the impression that what was happening then it's happening again in 1988. this happens to me all the time. this is what he said. this is 1988. ronald reagan. i quote him all the time. trade and immigration and russia. >> pretty good actor. pelosi: i don't know about that.

and i merely conclude by saying ronald reagan, my former boss, but was i, associate director of omb for the first term, reagan was the best and most important and most consequential president in the second half of the 20th century, bar none. [applause] so, i appreciate that and i appreciate the support from many of you. i've said my piece. i am sure the others will improve upon it or prove me wrong. in no particular order, let me begin with former speaker paul ryan, who i have known for many decades, and he himself broke in as a staffer. anyway, paul ryan, take it from there, please. mr. ryan: thank you, larry. it's great to be here. i guess i will bookend the day, seeing that we are here at the reagan library, ronald reagan brought a new economic philosophy to government. ronald reagan brought the supply-side school of thought to government. and ronald reagan put this on his back and made it law, and the prosperity that ensued after the carter years was really unprecedented. the intellectual fathers of that movement were larry kudlow, bob bartley, george gilder, paul craig roberts, and

of reagan economic forum, i believe it is necessary to celebrate the memory and achievements of ronald reagan, who i believe was by far the most consequential president in the second half of 20 century and will go down as one of the greatest presidents in u.s. history, reagan changed economic policy, by the way, full disclosure, i was a assistant budget director during reagan first term, i digress, he buried fdr new deal, big government socialist do dogma. he slashed tax rates from 70% to 28%. and worked with central banker paul volcker to make the dollar good as gold. take a listen. >> why is it inflationary if the people keep their own money and spend it the way they want to, and is not inflation if government spends it the way it wants to. larry: and the economy boomed. nearnearly 5% growth harate. this remarkable economic recovery enabled reagan to bring down curtain on soviet communism, meeting with gorbachev, russia wanted ragen to give up "star wars" here, refused and said that american economy was producing resources for the strategic defense initiative but also for a vast american mi

trump want as golden age of economic growth just like ronald reagan. trump want as rising tide to lift all boats. but, rest assured no matter what roadblocks are thrown in his way, trump will keep on fighting for american greatness just like ronald reagan did. that's the socket of the riff. all right -- subject of the riff. having great fun and joining me now is former national economic council director, now he's the vice chair at ibm -- is that still true? >> it is true it, yes. larry: it's a pleasure to have you, two old nec guys. >> exactly. larry: just a whole quick thought and whole monetary thing and ju judges and so forth. how do you see that? >> thanks for having me. i think your point was right, we have heard from jerome powell for the last eight years almost. we've got data to make and unemployment data looks good and a data dependent fed and data justifying the fed to take actions and lower rates and the fed themselves has admitted we have a restrictive monetary policy right now and job not going to be restrictive and allowing the economy to

. >> reagan's solution, the most radical attempt to downsize government since the new deal. >> ronald reagan, his supporters hope the new fdr of the right. >> he would not waste any time before he even left the capitol. reagan signed an executive order to freeze all hiring in the federal government. conservatives hopes were sky high. but in the end, the reagan revolution would fall far short. big government got even bigger, and many hardcore conservatives once again felt betrayed. >> the reagan archives are filled with memos and letters from prominent activists, complaining that reagan is selling them out. >> reagan was sincere in his efforts to roll back government. i'm trying to undo the great society. he boldly wrote in his diary. and try he did. >> president reagan's budget cutting blade is hanging over the federal government. >> food stamps, medicare and medicaid. so painful cuts in his first year to save money on the school lunch program. ketchup was briefly classified as a vegetable. in just three years. homelessness doubled as federal dollars for housing and mental health services dr

ronald reagan wanted this many years ago, but then there was no technology, but this is what we willave, we will have it at the highest level. ronald reagan's strategic defense initiative, announced by him more than 40 years ago. aimed to protect the united states from a nuclear attack, that program was also called star wars, but as it turned out, at least half of all the ideas were simply impossible to implement back then. and no one really intended to, rather the stars and wars were supposed to irritate the soviet leaders and force them to spend more money on defense. the decree on the creation of a new system of donald trump signed back in january twenty fifth. according to him, the golden dome will cover the entire territory of the country, provide almost 100% protection, and also cover canada. in addition to space components, the system will include land and sea components. naturally, in the implementation of the satellite. can create a space air defense system with their own money and offer the pentagon to use it under a subscription system. what trump, or his people, came up w

>> laura: washington.ro >> go for 219-0 and they like ronald reagan. like more than anything. depee declaration of independence. and they ask that this be done. it b has been in the bolts for many, many decades. and they said, we have to do something because the light eventually affects it. and it is very cool. >> laura: oh, my gosh! >> isn't that great? it just went up yesterday. >> laura: wow! >> you think joe biden would do this? i don't think so thi. do you think you would think of it or knows what it is? that none of these pictures were up. very few. and it's been great. >> laura: there was a lot made on another network about bringing in goldn accents to amplify the oval office. the mantle and the cherubs.lyld he was sent mar-a-lago? >> it is all gold. wit his angels. they say angels bring good luck. and we need a lot of luck in this country what they have done thyeare last four years. so take a look. do you know a little secret -- i don't know if you will waste time putting this on, but throughout the years go to people have tried to come up with

i think you carried that vision that ronald reagan had. it's in your spirit.do you think america can still be that shining city on the hill? that shining city on a hill? >> yeah. i mean, my view is, america is still great. don't worry. we don't need to recapture something that never existed. this is a great country, and the way great countries ought to act is to be the leader of those in the world who would rather be like us men the other guys. that was i think the biggest lesson that reagan left us. hopeful, optimistic, to lead in the country and from a party point of view, republican party point of view, you may have forgotten this. i made old timers reagan's it never speak ill of another republican. so that's my kind of republican, and i hope we will get back to that someday in the future. >> bob dole once said that you are not here to question american values. you are here to be worthy of them. you have been a worthy leader for america. would everybody with your applause lee say thank you to senator mcconnell.

then yes, to these technologies are much more capable than ronald reagan's and we could do some interesting facts. but if you're talking about a student by the russians or chinese, the ability, that's right. and the country talk, we have stuff like that. still going to be in all likelihood, if i tree before we go rest and try and i called the u. s. me saw shield plan deeply destabilizing, could it trigger as rise as well? try has already engaged that pretty nice arms race of its own is building several 100 long range weapons a year. and so i don't think we're the ones that started it. we brought down our arsenals by 90 percent since the cold war. and of course, by them, your boat is the one who's returned the world to great power, not just rivalry, but conflict with his attack on ukraine is nuclear threats against nato from time to time. so, you know, i'm not a big fan of this concept in all incarnations, but i'm not that interested in beijing and ma scouts critique or hyman, great to get your insight. thanks so much. i thank you fast. alright, here's a quick look now at the most doors maki

it may be a little more technologically clause of all that under ronald reagan star wars vision. but it's going to be in excess of brilliance of dollars, an ultimate expense, and still will probably not be anywhere near a perfect protection. so it depends what right you're protecting against. but yeah, some kind of a new concept beyond the alaska, california system we have now may be worth a 2nd look. we're familiar with the i'm done as a, as well as what makes a difference to the golden done that's presented here as well as you well know, our country is far bigger and more over the kind of missiles we're talking about trying to protect against could have nuclear weapons on them, so a 95 percent success rate for the iron job in israel may not be good enough for a golden down in the united states. what you're envisioning is all a russian or chinese nuclear attack. so that's the basic difference. the size of the country that has to be protected and the nature of the warhead looking forward to you meant to go get into it. often people are august race very easily if you're not carefu

now, 43 years ago president ronald reagan propose sdi, strategic defense initiative in 1983. that was a space based missile defense system intended to protect the u.s. from nuclear attacks. nicknaming sdi after star wars s and as usual, reagan was way ahead of his time. as part of the sucks isful quest to destroy soviet come niche, he had a dream -- communism, he had a dream each side gives up nuclear missile all together and just in case, began the work towards sdi. when reagan nego negotiated with gorbachev in 1985 and 1986, it was gorbachev that wanted reagan to drop sdi. he refused and bluntly gold told gorbachev the united states had economic strength and resources to build the missile defense system. but russia did not. eventually as the soviet union plunged deeper into the economic abis, it became -- abyss, it became clear to gorbachev he better try to make some deals with reagan on nuclear disarming. reagan going to put it all on oil and gas pipeline into europe going for them and system destroying themselves and state control socialism failed and russian citizens year

i repeat once again, in my opinion, trump is haunted by the laurels of ronald reagan and in the economicere, so to speak, he wants to surpass him, in the military sphere, this is what trump wants to do - this is the second iteration of the strategic defense initiative or star wars, as it was accepted , so to speak, in everyday life, ronald reagan, this is the creation of a missile defense of the territory of the united states, multi-layered, with the placement of detection and interception systems on the ground, in the air and most importantly in space, and the system, any missile defense system - is a two-component system, this is an information component, these are radars, sensors, in general, detection means, this is 80% of the complexity and 80% of the cost, and 20% is the fire component, these are interceptors, i did it there. only in production capacities, if it is worked out, and financial resources. so, regan did not succeed, because when he began to implement these plans, they ran into cost, and secondly, in the absence of technologies, first of all in the space echelon, these a

on the mantelpiece there are now not plants, as under biden, but gold figures. and ronald reagan, fromthe current head of the white house borrowed the slogan peace through strength, and abraham lincoln and franklin roosevelt, although he was a democrat. people ask what he is doing here, but he was a serious president, whether we like it or not, four terms in a row, and you know, he went through a war, he even demanded that his official portrait be made with gold plating, apparently so that his face would glow like a face, another symbol. i chose this one, it belonged to ronald reagan, roosevelt sat behind it, there are not many, but i found it the most beautiful, returned to the table and the famous red button that trump constantly pressed during his first term, this is how he orders a diet coke. everyone thinks that this is a nuclear weapon, they say that if i press this button, the end of the world will come, this is the blue room, also ova, one of the first to enter the white house, trump himself intends to hold dinner parties in the rose garden that he has already come to love, by

it will move the country exactly opposite direction that ronald reagan moved the country back in 1981this year reagan said epa expects to have undertaken more than 400 emergency actions to remove and contain public health hazards. and because we recognize that we need to do more cleanup work than the current law provides i'm committing to seeking extension of the superfund program. as i said, our progress on protecting the environment is one of the best kept secrets in washington, but it's not by far the only secret. more on that in months ahead. until next week thanks for listening and god bless you. that was ronald reagan. the republican party wasn't always like it is today. there was a time when the environment and clean water and clean air were a priority of this party. this isn't the first time i've noted on the senate floor that ronald reagan must be spinning in his grave and is certainly true of our treatment of ukraine and our giving in to the kremlin. but that president who looked to as a portrait of the american conservative movement, was looked to in that way, watching as t

historic announcement about the golden dome missile defense system, it's something we want, something ronald reagan wanted years ago but didn't have the technology. i want to thank secretary hegseth who has been fantastic. secretary rubio, space force vice chief of space operations general mike ludly. i want to recognize senators dan sullivan, kevin kramer and jim banks. fantastic senators. great tall ins, great political talent, people that love our country. in the campaign i promised the american people that i would build a cutting edge missile defense shield to protect our homeland from the threat of foreign missile attacks. and that's what we're doing. today i'm pleased to announce we have officially selected an architecture for this state of the art system that will deploy next generation technologies across land, sea, and space, including space-based interceptors. canada has called us, they want to be part of it. we'll be talking to them. they want to have protection also. so as usual we help canada the best we can. this design for the golden dome will integrate the existing defense capabilit

i would have to think ronald reagan himself would be outraged by the problem of course is, u.s. the strength of the economy is our private sector, we don't need the central bank cropping into that anymore. i think poirier and chairman held to the right way of describing this. crypto currency in washington and much of the country sounds very scary. whoever named it that deserves the merits. crypto somehow means secret and currency suggests it's money. what a misnomer. it's software. the coolest neatest software every 16-year-old on the planet wants to do all their work in. software can be used for good things and bad things. i don't blame xl spreadsheet is used by a bunch of gangs. it's important there be a clear regulatory framework stop as a final point i would say we are probably on the front end of the use cases that greg asked about. in the future, probably not far from now we are all that i have these devices in our pockets like we do but they're going to be our agents and they will go off and check in on our flights of the traffic is like and make sure there is here to get

star wars, now i find out you wrote ronald reagan's star wars speech. >> near and dear to my heart. been a speechwriter at the time, president reagan was given a speech from the oval office about defense, stay the course on the defense bill. this changed the world and said we don't have a defense against nuclear weapons, the only way we prevent nuclear war is saying to each other, nobody nukes anybody, terrible way to keep the peace. president reagan set on march 23, 1983, we are going to look towards our scientists, engineers, military. can we build a missile defense shield over the entire united states so that we will never be subject to nuclear background. nobody can put nuclear weapons into the united states. everybody laughed and said that is star wars. i was in the oval office when he gave that speech and it changed the world because the russians at that point were convinced, we know we can't therefore it was the straw that broke the camel's back. stuart: i noticed the chinese are making fun of the golden dome because they don't want us to have one. you are a star. appreciate

i cannot think of a more optimistic president akin to ronald reagan choose contagious among those who patriots and love the country. he lives an inspired life and he inspires others, those who are willing to actually listen, watch and learn. and aren't filled with hate and contempt. i'm not saying all this because he's my friend, i'm saying all of this because it's true, because it's true. we now have a deal with the nation of britain, the sixth largest economy which opens up their markets, opens up our markets. it's the greatest free market deal between two countries that i've ever seen. for all those who keep talking about donald trump the isolationist, donald trump the antiglobalist, for donald trump, socialist i saw somebody write, they don't understand donald trump. donald trump loves freedom, he loves opportunity, he loves the creation of wealth and he loves its country. as i explained a few months ago, putting in place all of these tariffs, he wasn't putting in place all of these tariffs to have a tariff war. he put all these tariffs in place, almost simultaneously, across the

george washington or ronald reagan? who would you put? >> washington. >> so far 21209 zero. . >> here is what they like more than anything. so this is the declaration of independence. >> wow. it's never been up. been in the assaults for many, many decades. they said we have to do something like drape it or something. because the light eventually evenings it and it's very cool isn't that great? just went up yesterday. >> wow. do you think joe biden do would do this? i don't think so. do you think he would think of it. do you think he know what is it is. look at it. but this was -- none of these pictures were up. very few it's been great. >> laura: a lot made on the other network bringing in gold accents to trump phi the oval office. >> needed a little life. >> laura: you have the mantel and you have the cherubs from is that from mar-a-lago? >> they are actually gold. all gold. look. and you know, it's angels. they say angels bring good luck. and we need a lot of luck in this country with what they have done over the last four years. so, take a look. you know that little secret

maria: are you are right that was items that ronald reagan knew so well, i love the idea that we are channeling president reagan's free market principles all day today as we come to live from forum president trump is right there, that is the underbelly way looks at everything, a bit of apply interview when i asked him what he wants u.s. to look like when he is said and done, watch this. >> what do you specifically wasn't a america to look like, in four years when you are done. >> i want a dynamic country where private enterprise carries the day not the government. and i want a strong country militarily we need that nowadays. >> gerry that is real estating real estatingomics,. >> conservatives led by trump have around opportunity they haven't had in years decades to come together, around the policy that they most want to see instituted that has to do with putting the private sector at center of american life personal responsibility, all of the themes that make a conservatives resonated so much with folks right now. we are going to watch all day, maria, better start drink coffee now. ma

of course, including ronald reagan flew on it from 1973 to 2001. tures of the cockpit on air force one as well, we can see reagan's desk, president reagan's desk and the china plates and dishes here. we also have visitors walking through this whole area and the ronald reagan presidential library holds 63.6 million pages of records, more than 62,000 artifacts, a new survey from the reagan national economic forum meanwhile revealed how americans view a reagan quote applying to challenges facing america. the quote reads government is not the solution to our problem. government is the problem. overall, 76% agree with this quote. 24% disagree with the quote. 90% of republicans agree and 10% disagree while 61% of democrats agree and 39% disagree. caroline, when i interviewed president trump in march of this year, i asked him mr. president, what do you want the country to look like and feel like when you're done in four years and he said i want to have an economy that is led by private enterprise and that is exactly reagan's sentiment, caroline. >> yes, an

but i thought it was a great gesture and it's something that was done by ronald reagan. they actually decommission the plane and put it in his library and it actually has made the library, i think a boeing 707, it's made the library more successful. so it was good. do you plan to use the playing? no, i don't. it would go directly to the library. i wouldn't be using it. you said the release of the american hostage edan alexander, in good faith to end this war. do you expect any progress and perhaps an announcement of ceasefire during your trip to the middle east? we hope to have other hostages released, as you know. when i met with the hostages three weeks ago that were there for quite a while, you remember the ten people that came in, mostly young people, one or two were a little bit older. they were explaining the trials and tribulations. they went through hell and i said, how many are there, they said 59. i said, that's a lot. i didn't realise. we got a lot of hostages out, i think you would acknowledge. they said 59. but then they said they followed that up by saying,
