of all the presidents in the post—war era, ronald reagan was the post—war era, ronald reagan was the one about whom the establishment in washington, dc was the most apprehensive before donald trump. and reagan, like trump, was perceived as an outsider, an american nationalists, someone they did not appreciate. so in that sense the two of them were the two figures, i think, the two of them were the two figures, ithink, who the two of them were the two figures, i think, who became president were the most feared by the national establishment. reagan and trump were, at the age of 70, the oldest ever us presidents to be elected. the two right—wing republicans had been democrats in their youth and both had taken an unorthodox route to the white house. reagan came via hollywood. i was brave but in a low—budget fashion. new york city. and in this town, the sky is the limit. believe me, i know. donald trump was rather less low—budget. me, i know. donald trump was rather less low-budget. my name is donald trump and i'm the largest developer in new york. i'd build a lot of buildings but i

this time we will let ronald reagan be ronald reagan. >> let's take advantage of what we have got. our best political asset is him being himself and communicating with the american people. when he was showing his personality and his rhetoric, he succeeded. >> going into the debate. >> the audience will be looking at ronald reagan in a new way. the myth or the mystique of the great communicator was dented. >> president kennedy had to go for days on end. >> any doubt in your mind they will be able to function under your circumstances? >> also i will not make age an issue of this campaign. i am not going to exploit for political purposes my opponent's youth and inexperience. >> it brought down the house and it was his house by then. >> there were several times in his first term when i thought this man is not going to be reelected president. what i under estimated is how much the public really loved and liked this man. >> it now appears president reagan has won and won big. they are seeing a victory of historic proportions. there is the total. >> so many people act as if this election

ronald reagan was an ultimate pragmatist. he wanted that 80% to get things done for the american people. i think donald trump is very similar. that does not mean that president reagan was not strongly ideological. the fact is, he knew he had to be pragmatic. all the slings and arrows that went at the beginning, jim baker and mike cheever and ed meese or the latter years, the answer is the ultimate pragmatist in the white house was ronald reagan. i would imagine when push comes to shove, donald trump will be very similar in being the ultimate pragmatist to get things done and make a better world for the american people. and the rest of the free world. david: thank you very much. thank you for that interview and we will bring you special coverage of the inauguration of the 45th president of the united states right here on bloomberg starting tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. eastern. due respect posts will be back for that coverage as well. hearing, wen that have ranking member of the senate finance committee ron youn are from oregon sayin

that connection he has to ronald reagan through george h.w. bush i think -- >> very much trying to make that argument that reagan and trump are the same in being a change agent, you know, and that that is how he sees this analogy playing out. >> they're both change agents but very different. i think mike pence has chosen an admirable role model for his vice presidency. george h.w. bush, you know, was very different from ronald reagan and yet he walked quietly behind him, never stood in his shad shadow, never injected himself, was always loyal, a good ambassador to capitol hill. he'd come up to the house gym to hang out with people. what made that relationship work and david axelrod would talk about this, it was that early on ronald reagan agreed to have a weekly lunch with his vice president, just one-on-one, had lunch every week, nobody ever talked about what was said. that's where he gave his advice. but interestingly enough, bush would often come around to us in the white house staff and say i had my lunch with the president, do you have a

how ronald out reagan once called martin luther ronald ommunist and reagan ended up having to sign to make the day a federal holiday. > the same ronald reagan that denounced dr. king is the same to make that signed today a federal holiday. the dent elect trump in spirit of ronald reagan ought to lewis.ohn he ought to deal with the issues of today. be king to on king day like like -- don't act like a pawn if made a king. it is time for us to get bigger than that, that is what dr. king did. i hope he reaches out to john lewis. he, senator booker, would at some point, congressional caucus. i hope campbell, he will meet ith all civil rights leadership, but not photo ops, to deal with issues we marched about, voting rights, the criminal justice reform, police reform, as well as jobs. in serious times and we unserious d discussion. e need serious discussions about serious achievements that need to be done in this society. host: again, that is this morning, part of several eechts aking place in and around washington, d.c. in connection with martin luther king day. memorial there that you are

and i was a big, big fan of ronald reagan. but i was never a big fan on trade with respect to ronald reagan. i just think we've had years and years of allowing our jobs to be dissipated in this country. and there's no reason for it. >> so the economy keeps you up more than terrorism and homeland security? >> i view it all very important. terrorism is to me number one because we have to keep people safe. most importantly, we have to keep people safe. but the economy is certainly -- we have to bring the jobs back. i talk the forgotten men and women. they're not forgotten anymore because they came out and voted. a lot of people, you folks, didn't know they existed in a true sense. everyone saying, we did they all come from? it was pretty amazing, wasn't it. >>> when we come back, the millions of americans who want to know what the replacement will be for obamacare. >> i'm just asking about the people who are nervous and watching you for reassurance -- >> here's what i can reassure you -- >> when we come back. but then i realized

i, ronald reagan do solemnly swear. governor reagan: i, ronald reagan do solemnly swear. >> i will faithfully execute the office of president of the united states. and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the constitution of the united states. so help you got -- you god. congratulations, sir. a™ [applause] ♪ >> the president of the united states. [cheers] president reagan: thank you. thank you. senator hatfield, mr. chief justice, mr. president, vice president bush, vice president mondale, senator baker, speaker o'neill, reverend moomaw, and my fellow citizens, to a few of us here today this is a solemn and most momentous occasion, and yet in the history of our nation it is a commonplace occurrence. the orderly transfer of authority as called for in the constitution routinely takes place, as it has for almost two centuries, and few of us stop to think how unique we really are. in the eyes of many in the world, this every four-year ceremony we accept as normal is nothing less than a miracle. m

ronald reagan reagan talked about liberty, he talked about rising tides lifting all shifts, he talked about everyone's aspirations not just some segment that he is going to protect using higher tariffs. >> we have our libertarians here. this populism, jason was not antigovernment. >> it was not an ideological speech. he was not ronald reagan, you do not hear anything about small government or reigning in spending or anything like that. he reminded us that he elected a nonpolitician, even an anti-politician. >> a third third-party candidate almost that one under the republican label. >> and he said some pretty tough things to the people sitting right behind congress, that you, these folks right over here he was saying has been enriching themselves at your expense and that's going to stop. >> kim, your small government person, as hardy as any of us, what you make of the point that this really was not aimed at governments? in the critical sense that reagan was. >> i think we i think we have to be clear that this is one of the least ideological presidents this country have seen in decades

he compares itself to ronald reagan, but so far he is not a ronald reagan, so we have to do suspend disbelief and see how it goes. i think that the prime minister will undoubtedly have an agenda concerning uk/ us relations, concerning the trade deal, but in a way, much more important than that is to work out whether there is a basis to work in an enduring way with a trump administration on the core issues. we can't have a special relationship if we have an american administration which doesn't want to work with us, if we have undermining of our key european allies in nato, which would stand up to russia and is promoting a breakdown of the international order, including the oldest trade rules, so i think there are some fundamentals here. mrs may will want to have a good, solid, friendly relationship with the us, it is very good that she has got this early access to president trump, but she will be wary and apprehensive to begin with, and rightly will need to size him up before she knows really quite how that relationship is going to work in the future. you know how obsessed we are with the bod

you're like the chief working with ronald reagan on the tax cuts at the time. do you want to see big tax cuts for companies and for individuals? big ones. >> we have to go bold because our competitors have already gone bold. the truth is, most of our companies are competing with one hand tied behind their backs. so you need lower -- we're proposing lowest business rates in modern history. our businesses can invest back home in a major way. >> neil: 15 to 20% from 35 or 40 where we are now? >> absolutely. you have to redesign the tax system. we're going bold there. part of this is matching what our competitors, china and europe and mexico do in lowering the rates and no longer taxing their exports. we propose to do the same thing and levelling the playing field for imports and exports do. it's a simple but powerful game-changing tax approach. >> neil: you mentioned imports and the wall. a border tax on mexican imports to go anywhere from 5 to 20%. the white house saying among ideas being considered but one way or the other, mexicans will pay for it. wouldn't a t

donald trump has said he's looking to ronald reagan —— you work as a and advisor for ronald reagan. ronald reagan, like donald trump, a man who went into politics not as a career man who went into politics not as a career politician, do you see some similarities between the two in terms of not being beholden to that party line? both of them were insurgent candidates who build new coalitions. and both of them were also highly accomplished deal—makers. also highly accomplished deal— makers. ronald reagan also highly accomplished deal—makers. ronald reagan had been head of the union and was in essence a professional negotiatorjust as donald trump is, so there are a numberof donald trump is, so there are a number of similarities between them, including that as with ronald reagan, donald trump has energised large parts of the american electorate that were feeling neglected. ryan christie, looking at areas of policy—making —— ron christie. starting with russia and what he said about the intelligence and the hacking during the election campaign, and what he is saying about russ

this is about the future of life. >> ronald reagan thought the freeze was ridiculous. the number of nuclear weapons in the world was way too high. that the freeze would lock in soviet superiority in numbers he wanted to eliminate. >> the nuclear freeze proposals, beware of declaring both sides equally at fault. to ignore the facts of history and the impulses of an evil empire, to call the arms race a misunderstanding and thereby remove yourself from the struggle of right and wrong, good and evil. >> he delegitimized the soviet union. trouble is you're both poised with weapons pointed at each other, mutually assured destruction. reagan said let's put a protective shield between us so i have some other option. that's the birth of the strategic defense initiative, sdi or unkindly called "star wars." >> what if free people could destroy ballistic missiles before they reached our soil or our allies? >> the united states is spending a billion dollars on laser technology, the buck rogers technology the president talked about. >> he didn't understand the technologies, he thoug

that started to change in the 1980's, and it changed because of ronald reagan, because people perceived we were getting back into the cold war, turning the corner and truman was look backed on as the architect of containment. his stock started to rise, increasing in the 1990's with the democratic president. harry truman truman is fairly well revered by republicans and democrats. a look at how that has changed. we think things about obama today, but that doesn't mean it is fixed forever. i can guarantee you one thing, that the way we think about obama today will be consistent over time. host: let me introduce you folks, if you want to ask questions of our guests.

morning.ood i have a question about ronald reagan. he used to claim to be an expert on ronald reagan. he was onnderstanding a drug called halson during his you have to drug sleep for eight hours or you could die and you can't be woken up. he was an actor before elected, a lot of baby boomers believe he was the best president, best republican president we ever is difficult sometimes have a different idea of things, they grew up in a different time and it was kind f made into a cartoon with him falling asleep and how cute he was and how the presidency ended ended. life host: let's use the last few seconds to give hugh hewitt a chance to respond. guest: that is a lie, he was not on the drug. know the president, met him, worked for him, i know fred the ing, very well and met reagans to help them on the library. lie. he president was wonderful and generous and warmhearted and wilight years under alzheimer's. sphere of"the fourth way,"-- is influence.

so reagan went out and raised the money and aired the speech himself. >> ronald reagan: and this idea that government is beholden to the people -- that it has no other source of power, except the sovereign people -- is still the newest and the most unique idea in all the long history of man's relation to man. this is the issue of this election -- whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the american revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far distant capital can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves. >> mann: the speech was called "a time for choosing," which may be ronald reagan's best speech ever, and that's saying a lot for ronald reagan, 'cause he gave a lot of great speeches. but this speech was a masterpiece. and it probably made the best case for barry goldwater that anybody, including barry goldwater, had made for himself. >> our democratic opponents seem unwilling to debate these issues. they want to make you and i believe that this is a contest between two men -- that we're to choose just between

that's when ronald reagan got the tax act passed. if in the next six months -- that was about six months after ronald reagan took office. from there it was bar the door in terms of economic activity. volcker had to squeeze inflation out of the economy. but if he gets a significant tax cut cutting corporate rates more than in half and middle class tax cuts across the board it was only stopped about president obama and the recession. >> do not do a phase-in. david: not phased in as day -- n just said. >> they want 3% to 4% sustained growth. that's the way you do it. >> in terms of regulatory reform, something peter morici told you earlier this week. watch out for -- you have need leadership coming out of the white house on rolling back these regulations. if you let these departments get away from you in terms of what they are doing in terms of rolling back these regulations, nothing will get done. so you have to be on top of that. there is a businessman,al real estate mogul in the white house. gary: 100% of the move since the election

the first inaugural of ronald reagan was greeted in britain and europe with perhaps not the same amount of dismay, but there were quite a lot of headlines saying, "he is just an actor," which was completely not true because he'd had eight years as governor of california. and what was worse, this perception continued throughout his entire years. in europe, you could never get a sensible set of opinion to understand america is different from our way of doing politics and reagan, after all, comes straight from the bone marrow of american identity and he was to be a great president. nobody recognised that, really, until today. there is not a single street in germany that says reagan street or reagan plaza, although he was the guy in ‘87 who said, "gorbachev, tear down this wall". but you have lots of kennedy statues and so forth. but i must say, to come back to polly‘s characterisation, i totally agree with the nature of his speech. but that in itself leads me to a positive conclusion, that he will unite, not americans so much, because he didn't do much to do that in his speech, but he

the speech should have been aimed at bringing people together as ronald reagan's speech was, as franklin roosevelt's speech was, democrat and republican, so this is a -- the fact that saying these things which are usually accepted by just about every american melt the displeasure of the crowd doesn't speak too kindly of that crowd. >> senate minority leader, chuck schumer. >> i should say. >> just the people who booed. i'm sure it wasn't most of them. >> just the people who booed, got it. senate minority leader chuck schumer, democrat of new york, always a pleasure to have you

i think this would be ronald reagan's dream. sometimes, when you are leading or working on something you believe in with all of your heart, it is tough because darkness happens. you hear the word no and things you want don't happen. but you have to hold onto your light. be strong and hold up the light. sometimes, you do not have that light within you. it feels like it has gone out. so you have to look to the light to lead you out of darkness. and sometimes, you will have to be that light for other people. this is what i want you to do. make a pledge to yourself and the other women in this room, some days you will need that light and they will be there for you. some days you will be that light. now, i want you to reach out and light someone else's torch. be that light for someone else. there you go. i love it. i love it. sandra day o'connor said that one of the things that she really loved is to find work worth doing and work hard at it. that is what i want you to do. find work that is worth doing. that is worth your time, your i

reagan, so while we certainly respect the right of the congress to provide oversight, make inquiries where they deem them appropriate, this, the american people spoke in this elect and the peaceful transition of power that will take place this coming friday on a platform where our president-elect will take the oath overs surrounded by four of the five living presidents is a testament to our democracy and i am incredibly humbled to be a part of it, john. >> dickerson: last week before that intelligence briefing the president-elect say he felt like this, all of these questions were part of a witch-hunt, he now had some new information and now the senate intelligence committee, so he no longer thinks this is a witch-hunt, this investigation into russian meddling? is that fair to say? >> well, i think that there frankly has just been an effort by many in the national media, present company excepted, since this election to essentially demean and question the legitimacy of this incoming administration, and talk of that, sources within the intelligence community that have been attributed wi

this isn't ronald reagan born again. this is a time when we have 20 trillion of debt, 106% of gdp, the opposite of what reagan -- david: we should remind our viewers, forgive me, david, when president reagan announced his huge tax cuts, he had to take you to the woodshed for his words that the fact you didn't buy into the supply side deal tax cuts back then? >> that is pretty much a mythological version of what happened. of course i bought into the supply-side tax cuts. i was one of the initial authors with jack kemp and a few others but i also did not believe in a free lunch. i believe we had to match it with huge domestic spending cuts, reform of entitlements and balancing the budget within a reasonable period of time. none of that happened. the defense build-up got totally out of control. the tax cut was 6% of gdp, far beyond anything we could afford. neil: revenues came in whole hog during the 1980s. let me switch to one thing you may agree with donald trump on, and that is when it is talking about the way the taxpay

ronald reagan, george h.w. bush, none of them perfect but there's a dignity they carried with themselves in office. and the difference between now and 2009, think we're waxing poetic about barack obama on the way out. 2009 night before inauguration attended a bipartisan dinner for john mccain and called him american hero and patriot. don't see that happening tonight with the president-elect. >> you have to remember there were a lot of ups and downs with president obama and we're focusing on a lot of the positives i think because he's leaving and the contrast with trump and approval started going up a lot in the election because people looking even at hillary clinton and options they have, hang on, maybe not so bad with barack obama. but he also has a fundamentally good temperament, a calm person. been criticized for it but bore fruit in this situation. way he thought it through, realized when it happened and behaved in a way, lot of us wondered could i be so gracious to someone who treated me so badly. >> donal

reagan, do solemnly swear... >> ronald reagan was a conservative. >> they will faithfully execute the office of president of the united states. >> bill clinton was a moderate. >> preserve, protect, and defend the constitution of the united states. >> barack obama, make a progressive. donald trump is a trumpist, and we're going to find out what that means. >> washington flourished, but the people did not share in its wealth. >> reporter: president trump will rely a lot more on charisma than ideology, says mark leibowitz, who spent months observing him on the campaign trail for for the "new york times." he is also a cbs news consultant. >> a lot of the business of washington is pred indicated on things not getting done. >> house will be in order. >> donald trump is going to have an abiding faith in his own ability to go into a room and actually force thingses by will of personality, negotiation, what have you, into just changing and to being. >> we will no longer accept politicians who are all talk and no action constantly complaining but never doing anything about it.
