do you think this is going to affect the legacy of ronald reagan, keith boykin? >> i think it will for some people. he is old enough. he is dead now. his presidency so far past in history that it's hard for people to sort of examine this and to really care. >> he is the gold standard of republican president. >> he is. but the republicans have a long history. they been playing the race card, as they say, for 50, 60 years now going back to 1964 when barry goldwater, as david mentioned, ran a race, he voted against the civil rights act 1964, became the republican nominee a week or two later, and that was the end of the party of lincoln. and so you have that history that goes even beyond that. people can be both a racist and be a good person. you can be a good father and still be a racist. people like dwight eisenhower who by all accounts was a good person, the general, he also made very negative comments about the brown versus board of education decision. he told the supreme court basically to not allow black people to be integrated into the schools because people d

reagan and the way the media treated ronald reagan it will come across but the truth of the matter is and to turn the face against the wind to challenge the political class and i promise you we have the same kind of strength of president donaldld trump is fighting every day to make this country safe and prosperous and we've already started to drain the swamp. [cheers and applause] >> and with those timeless principles under the president's leadership we have seen a conservative renaissance. think about it to a half short years we have cut taxes, rollback red tape, and niche american energy and have free and fair reciprocal trade deals putting america jobs america's workers first. [applause] and the results have been remarkable in the economy that is not only the strongest economy on the face of the earth but the most prosperous economy in the history of this country. [cheers and applause] and i just want to encourage folks that graduation may not be too far down the road as people are looking for work but the truth is since election day the leadership that you support from the white h

i remember when ronald reagan was governor. i remember i remember when pete wilson was governor, i remember the great days of the golden state. accomplish now you can see what blue, one-party rule does. take this most magnificent state in the country and puts its number one where it ought to be number 50 and number 50 where i ought to be number one it's a disgrace what the left has done to this country, and they're so proud of them. s they trying to do it to the state to the whole country. when you look at the people who are running right now, i'm speaking for myself, north the library here. when you look at the people who are running on the democrat side, they're insane. absolutely insane. [cheers and applause] >> to answer your question, whatever time i'm putting in isn't enough. so we'll do whatever we have to do. the way i look it's men and women in uniform in hell holes to protect that's country. i'm blessed to have a microphone and a camera in my face every day and i will use that damn microphone cram to advance the cause

president ronald reagan famously said freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. reagan understood the importance of reaching young people throughout his life, which is why he joined our advisory board in 1962, and entrusted young america's foundation to -- reagan'sf president consistent effort to reach new generations of young people, he inspired many to follow his lead and carry the torch for conservatism. one such leader who was inspired is our special guest this morning. vice president mike pence is a leading proponent of reagan conservatism today. the people of indiana elected him six times to represent him in congress. on capitol hill he established himself as a champion of limited government, fiscal responsibility, economic -- as governor of indiana, vice president pence increased school funding, expanded school choice, and crated the first pre-k plan in indian history. cuts, thee record tax state remained fiscally responsible and the vice president worked with members of the indiana journalists only to budgets whichced lefty state with a aaa credit rating.

it is a continuation of what we hearard ronald reagan say 54 yes ago longer. i would call these talking points ever gray and they trot them out to scare people whenever there is a threat to profits. it will not work this time because increasingly people are not spooked by terms like "socialized medicine." people are realizing they have been sold a bill of goods by the insurance industry. what we do in this country is care based on ability to pay. there are americans all over the country who do not get the care they need, not because we have a socialized system like another country, we don't, and even that turn is used purposely to scare people. we don't let people get the care they need because people don't have the money to get the care they need. in particular, we are talking about people who are called middle income individuals and families. they just simply in many cases cannot affto ththey need bebecause in many c, they cannot afford insurance. the affordable care act did some good. it provides subsidies for those who have relatively low income. it does n

do you think this will affect the legacy of ronald reagan? >> i think it will for some people. he's old enough -- he's dead now. his presidency is so far past in history, it's hard for people to examine this and really care. >> he is the gold standard of republican presidents. >> republicans have a long history, they've been playing the race card for 50, 60 years now, going back to 1964, when barry goldwater, as david mentioned, ran a racist campaign. he voted against the civil rights act, and became the republican nominee. and that was the end of the party of lincoln. you have the history that goes beyond that. people can be a racist and be a good person. you can be a good father and be a racist. dwight eisenhower, he was a good person and made negative comments about brown versus board of education decision. he told the supreme court not to allow black people integrated in the schools because people didn't want an overgrown negro sitting next to the white children. that's the racism that we don't talk about. >> david, i have to run. quickly, if you can tell me, do you agree w

i love coming here -- [applause] the history of ronald reagan is so crucially important. he turned this country around, he defeated the soviet union. he did so many things that young people need to learn about and so forth. it is a treat for my family and me and my friends to be here. i can't tell you, john heubusch is absolutely the most fantastic friend -- [applause] and melissa and his staff are absolutely unbelievable to do something like this with all of you. but i want to tell you from the bottom of my heart, to sit there and see one beautiful patriot american after another from from every walk of life, from all over the country, from all over the world, look around. every pigmentation, gay, straight, children, 91-year-old, a 97-year-old, people who have served in war, people who have been in law enforcement, i cannot tell you how broad -- how proud i am when you come to a place like this for one of our national, i call it national town hall meetings to reinvigorate ourselves so you know that there are people who share your viewpoints, who care about this country. i

. >> host: we want to welcome back henry olsen, author of the book the working-class republican, ronald reagan and return a blue-collar conservatives from dick is a senior fellow at the think tank the ethics and public policy center. good sunday morning. we've been talking to whether or not there is a stigma with donald trump's supporters. is there? >> guest: there is definitely. particularly among higher educated people, if you say you're a trump's a quarter, you are considered to be a fill in the there's epithet of the day. it's slightly affects the polls is one way we can see this is in the gap to 20 trump reelect numbers and job approval. we know from the past to my presidential elections the president will get within 1% of this job approvall rating. there's all these polls up saying there's a lot of people who say i approve of trump's job but i'm notjo get on board with them. that's poppycock. they will vote for him if they approve of hisve job he will voe for him. that'ssi a sign of the stigma trauma are you worried about a looming recession? >> guest: anybody should be concerned.

as ronald reagan said in his 1980 campaign, the time is now for being able to strike it. we are leaving the european union on the 31st of october. prime minister johnson has been made it very clear. there will be no ifs. there will be no buts. of course we want to secure a deal with the eu, but we have to leave with no deal, so be it. as we do that, of course working with the u.s. is going to be very important. you are our biggest single trading partner in economic terms. but for me, it's about more than just the economics. the u.s. embraces a spirit of optimism and can do. i think you can see under the new government in place in westminster. we don't believe the gloomsters and the doom sters, who say that britain's best days are behind us and we need to manage our decline. quite the opposite. we think that our best days are in front of us. and as it's been almost said, it is morning again in britain. [laughter] >> we're not afflicted by the declinism. we are confident about our future. we believe that britain is well placed to become europe's largest economy. with the ne

that was enough to enrage none other than ronald reagan, then the governor of california, who picked up the phone to give richard nixon some offensive thoughts. >> last night after watching that thing on television. to see those people from african countries. they're still uncomfortable wearing shoes. >> and the tail wags the dog there, doesn't it? >> yeah. >> the tail wags the dog. >> you can tell by the hearty belly laugh nixon gives reagan in response to him calling african diplomats monkeys who just wear shoes, nixon loved reagan's material so much he picked up the phone and repeated the sentiment to his secretary of state. >>, i for example, just had a call from reagan, california. you know, he's been out there and so forth. as you can imagine, there's strong feeling that we just shouldn't -- as he said, he saw these cannibals on television last night and they weren't even wearing shoes. here the united states is going submit its fate to that, so forth and so on. but that's typical of a reaction, which is probably quite strong. >> yeah, just focus grouping ronald reagan as what

>> desjardins: in the early 1970s, ronald reagan was governor of california, and already a national name in republican pitics. on the morning of october 26, 1971, reagan called up president nixon at the white house. >> hello? >> mr. president? hope i didn't get you out of bed. >> no, i'm... ( laughs )s: >> desjardheir 12-minute chat was captured on president nixon's white house tapes, and was released in full by the national archives just last month. it includes governor reaganlu using a racistto describe a group of african diplomats at the united nations. >> last night, i tell you, to tch that thing on television, >> desjardins: reagan was reacting to this u.n. session the day before, where the u.s. lost major votes over the rise of china, and whether communist china should be seated as the official chinese delegation. beijing won with a coalition of nations that included many developing nations. the result led some, including the tanzanian delegation, tot buto celebration. for historia reagan's reaction to that moment is a new data point. h.w. brands is a reagan biographer, and pr

reagan. the two held derogatory reports. it was the day after the united nations voted to recognize the people's republic of china. reagan phoned nixon at the white house to vent his frustration at african delegates who celebrated the vote. >> last night i tell you to watch that thing on television as i did, to see those -- those monkeys from those african countrieies, damnit, they're stl uncomfortable wearing shoes. >> the ronald reagan foundation said if he said that 50 years ago, he shouldn't have, and he would be the first person to apologize. nixon, reagan called william rogers and adopted reagan's racist language. >> later that month nixon laughed at the comments from his best friend beebe rah b-- rah bw sew. >> that reaction on television was that it proves how they ought to be still hanging from the trees by their tails. >> even in 1971 that language would have shocked the general public. president trump has been under fire for his racist tweets. in an interview he told c-span he's th

bush administration or the ronald reagan administration? .. a guy who lived in -- he was transported. he did hook it down off his dating profile because no one would look at that. he really liked this woman who did talk to him. if her friends said how could you do this? she walked out in one state. i asked, if you had a chance, would you talk to her? she was very thoughtful. she said, why? i consider them the antichrist if they are for truck. after we had a long conversation, and i wasn't trying to convince her to go back to him, i said before you ever in a situation for somebody who you are with didn't treat you with? and vice a versa? i told her that this is a chemotherapy test, when you are lying on a hospital bed, would you want this person can give direct? having been in the bed, that's what is to me. >> who passed that for you? >> rick passed that test. i got chemotherapy and rick was there. >> -- she came and did my laundry. my closest friend at the time, who was a political democrat never showed up. i also had a remarkable story that i

ronald reagan said that personnel is policy. the type of people that we hire for the type of policies that we're going to have. and if that's the case, then that means that elections are about personnel. and elections matter. and if elections matter, well, then that means that our party matter. your being involved in what we do makes a difference, makes a difference of the things that you care about that actually get you involve. as a result of your efforts for the last, you know, year, year and a half especially as we close this last election season, we've had another year of incredible successes, 2018 election cycle. office very statewide in republican hands again. again, give yourselves a round of applause. we maintained our state house majority again. we picked up more local and county offices all around the state again in 2018. and not only that, but we more than doubled -- more than doubled the number of people who voted absentee republican statewide in the last cycle. and the statistic i'm most proud of or blown away by,

ronald reagan. >> ronald reagan? is that angelina jolie? >> ...thousands of them! >> it really became an obsession and a drug. >> an obsession that fathered this man's strange inheritance. >> i basically got hundreds and hundreds of boxes. >> this is truly unbelievable. what was your reaction when you saw the magnitude of what he had? >> i was blown away. >> but does the heir really know what he's signing up for? >> $4,250. now $4,500.

ronald reagan. to communicate messages that got people to receive them. >> i am not going to exploit for political purposes my opponent's youth and inexperience. >> they called him the great communicator for a reason. in some ways, democrats found their own reagan in barack obama. that keynote address he gave at the 2004 democratic convention. >> my parents not only share an undeniable love. they shared a faith in this nation. giving me an african name barrak which means blessing. >> from that speech, the movement that would land him in the white house a few years later was born. you see it with a lot of the candidates now. elizabeth warren wants to be known as the candidate of policy and ideas. but she connects the ideas to her personal story to her up bringing. >> growing up out in o great depression. i saw what lack of opportunity to people can do. >> you have a policy core to you but you also need a personality that make people believe you are the one who can deliver on those. political history

ronald reagan once said that personnel is policy. the type of people we hire are the type of policies we will have. if that is the case, then elections of our personnel and elections matter and if elections matter than our party matters. you involved in what we do makes a difference about the care of things that get you resolved. -- asalt of your efforts, a result of your efforts, we have had another year of incredible successes. we kept every statewide office in republican hands again. give yourself a round of applause. we maintained the statehouse authority again. we picked up more local and county offices around the state again in 2018. not only that, we more than wholed the number of people voted absentee republican statewide in the last cycle and the statistic i am most proud of or blown away by was the result on the straight ticket ballot. this was only the second election in the history of south carolina that republicans be democrats on straight ticket voting. the first time was in 2016, we beat them by three points statewide.

ronald reagan came on the scene with an optimistic message and trounced jimmy carter. reagan and clinton are now among the most popular of all presidents in public polling. the last time democrats tried to unseat a republican president was back in '04 after howard dean, who was the strong player of the moment, his presidency y flatlined in this moment. >> we are on california, texas, new york, south dakota, oregon, washington, and michigan! and then we are going to washington, d.c., and take back the white house ewashington, d.c., and take back >> martha: the ended up choosing long time senator john kerry. the rest, they say, is history. president bush 23 became a two termer. will 2020 be a repeat of 2004? good to see you, thank you very much for being here this evenin evening. >> thank you for having me. >> martha: let's begin with that question. do you think, what you're looking at right now this early stage of the game, that democrats are heading in the '04 direction again? >> i do. it's eerie, isn't it, trump didn't win the popular election like george w. bush. he

reagan. the recordings were released by the national archives, and they upture the two men using racist language. here's whi>> rr: prdimself talki to then-californerronagan in ocs republic of reagan phonenixon at the teite house to express his n ustration of african delegates who celebrated the vote. >> reporter: the ronald reagan presidential foundation said today, "if he said that 50 years ago, he shouldn't have. and he would be the first person to apologize." after talking with reagan, nixon called secretary of state william rogers and adopted reagan's racist langua >> reporter: later that month, nixon laughed at these comments from his best friend bebe rebozo. >> reporter: even in 1971, that language would have shocked the general public. president trump has, of course, bume under fire for his racist tweets, but he said yesterday he is "the least racist person there is in the world." norah. aula'donnell: all right, paula reid at the white house. if you're keeping track, it's eust under 66

the soviet then people and he did not, ronald reagan did not mince his words and that did not prevent him from reaching landmark arms-control and nuclear reduction treaties with gorbachev. so there's a balancing act and i think values have to in some fundamental way the central to who we are as a country. >> what's the rest of this discussion on global challenges facing the us tonight at eight eastern on c-span . >> tonight on the communicators. >> people come up to me and they say i can't follow you. a naked impossible. these are people that are good at what they do. they say they make it absolutely impossible. >> we will talk about the recent presidential social media summit where president trump discussed social media censorship by big tech firms and what should be done about it with robert lewis from the heritage foundation and patrick hedger from the competitive enterprise institute . >> as consumers we can demand that of users of facebook on twitter and google that if we're going to be on that platform we expect that they will respect our ability to mitigate. if we don't like it

and ronald reagan did not mince his words. and that did not prevent him remarks on control -- arms control and nuclear reduction treaties with gorbachev. there is a balancing act and values have to in some fundamental way be sent to roll to who we are as a country. pragmatic, perhaps not as pragmatic as some people in government have to be. but i recognize this fact. is that a fair analogy? absolutely. i have done this most of professional life. sitting across the table in moscow from the head of the kgb, i would say that he and i probably did not share very many values. particularly if we were having our dinner in a safe house that berea, been owned by a head of stalin's secret service. that was a little airy. - eerie. think you can blend sustaining your beliefs and values and promoting those values with a very hardheaded pragmatic view of how to deal with the world. , i mean, fromat my personal experience, the president xi have worked for, i presidents that i have worked for, i think most of the presidents did that. certainl

ronald reagan and mikhail gorbachev promised to destroy all their missiles with ranges between 300 miles and 3,400 miles, eliminating at a stroke an entire class of nuclear weapons. the mobile ground launched nuclear weapons were hard to detect and could strike anywhere in europe within minutes, but in recent years, russia has begun testing and deploying a new cruise missile, which the us says breaches the inf treaty. so they've withdrawn from the agreement, much to the concern of the international community. the world will lose an invaluable brake on nuclear war and this will likely not reduce the threat posed by ballistic missiles. regardless of what transpires, the parties should avoid destabilising developments and urgently seek agreement on a new common path for international arms control. the us had given russia six months to comply with the treaty, but moscow denied its new missile broke the rules and blames the us for ending the agreement. the risk now is that the demise of the treaty sparks a new arms race between russia, china and the us. nato leaders promised to ensure that th

the intermediate range treaty signed by president ronald reagan band ground lunch missiles up to 3400 miles. officials are claiming russia violated the deal. moscow responded saying it is not true. north korea has conducted a third missile test is nuclear talks show no sign of promise. u.s. intelligence agencies believe he is testing short- range ballistic missile. tester in response to military exercises. official from u.s. and korea have recently said they would like to restart nuclear talks soon but nothing has been scheduled. >>> the public gets a rare chance to check out a burial. we will show you the artwork at the center of the controversy >>> unbelievable video from washington state is a small plane uses a road as a runway. what led up to the improvised landing. >>> the stock market opened about 10 minutes.. the dow jones is down almost 130 points. coming up get an update from the financial reporter. here's one you guys will like. show me making it. oh! i got one. the best of amy poehler. amy, maybe we could use the voice remote to search for something that you're not in. show

quickly on the modern president, ronald reagan is only one in the top ten in ninth position. george h. w. bush and the 20 spot, he is father and son duo as well. i think it'll be fascinating at the end of the term presidency when we survey again because we went through three days of national scene setting of the presidency. presidential funerals are a tool that they used to put the image for prosperity. we witnessed scenes being repeated throughout the three days of the funeral. about integrity, here is him and being a decent man. it'll be interesting to see where he is next time. bill clinton at 15, george w bush is in 33rd spot, the last survey he was one spot lower and in the bottom ten, he moved up out of the bottom ten of adding another president to the mix. he has really difficult things for the assessment of time and it'll be differen interesting tt happens with his rating. barack obama in his debut in 12 position, a good start to his assessment. the idea was to get to interested and showcase the work of the wonderful historians. we have an incredibly rich website atta

he also bought what is now ronald reagan national airport, crystal city and did that with the advice of his adoptive father, george washington. the correspondence between the two of them still exists from george washington's time at valley forge and advising his adopted son on the practicality of how to buy that land and not be taken to the cleaners while buying it. so, after we succeeded in yorktown in the country was celebrating and the washingtons were mourning the loss of their only remaining funds there were four young children, george and martha adopted two of them. one of them was the great president namesake, george washington parke custis known as wash. they raised him as their own and this is the first generation of young custis boys that george washington raised in mount vernon as his own but only fight this time he was no longer colonel washington but general washington. a man who had led our nation in independence and who's truly the greatest living american. after the revolution work you plan to retire at mount vernon, the farm into ranch and live out his life with mart

ronald reagan said, and i quote -- "medicare will lead to socialized medicine." medicare will lead to socialism in america. he was full of it then, and these folks are full of it now and they try to distract you. when you put democrats in charge, we put our values into action. we believe that if you work a full-time job, you ought to turn a full-time wage. one good job should be enough. we believe health care is a right for all and not a privilege for a few. we believe that when women succeed, america succeeds. we believe women should have the right to control their bodies. we stand with planned parenthood. we believe in an economy where everyone gets a fair shake, not just the wealthy and well-connected. we believe that ending poverty in america is a moral and economic imperative. we believe that the secretary of education believes in education. administrator ought to get the memo on climate change because climate change is an economic crisis. it is a public health crisis, it is a moral crisis. it threatens our universe, and we must take action now. we believe t

ronald reagan was not able to do it, they have been trying to do it since before ronald reagan. i got it approved. we are the number one energy producer in the world. soon it will be by far the number one. it's tremendous wealth, and it is being sought after in europe and the world and we have more of it than anyone else. and i'm not going to lose that wealth on dreams come on windmills, which frankly aren't working too well. i'm not going to lose it. in a nutshell, i want the clea nest water lose it. in a nutshell, i want the cleanest water on earth, i want the clea nest cleanest water on earth, i want the cleanest air on earth. and that's what we are doing. i'm an environmentalist. a lot of people don't understand that. i have done more environmental impact statement probably than anybody, i can say definitely, because i have done many of them, more than anybody that's ever been president or vice president or anything even close to president. and i think i know more about the environment than most people. i want clean air, i want clea n people. i want clean air, i want clean w

at the same point in their presidencies, ronald reagan was a 43, barack obama was at 44. both of them were reelected. both of them where neither of them had an economy is strong as what we have today. so we need to build a strong case to be donald trump. as much as we hate all his divisive racist assaults on our values, that is not going to be enough to win. as much as we are embarrassed and ashamed by his incoherent behavior on the world stage, insulting our allies, embracing our enemies, breaking all of our enemies, breaking all of our agreements, that is not enough to win either. it is not nearly enough to point out is sickening, pathetic, narcissism and misogyny. his voters do not care about this. they elected him because he promised he was going to bring back an economy that worked for them. it was a lie, course. but they believed him. my plan to be donald trump's to start by looking at our history. i would like to point out one important fact. no sitting senator, no sitting senator has ever beaten an incumbent president. go backwards from clinton to ragan to carter
