-- >> regan is out. a year later he gets his revenge. regan reveals nancy's best kept secret. the astrologer she's had on her pay roll since the shooting. >> i called the press office right away. what's going on? we think it is a one day story. are you out of your mind? >> reagan is asked if he still allows astrology to play a part in the make-up of his schedule. >>. i can't i never did. >> the president's approval ratings are sinking fast. >> his overall approval rating is down 17% in less than two months. >> nancy believes to win the country back, her husband must apologize for iran-contra. >> he is resisting admitting the obvious. that he has been trading arms for hostages. she knew she had to get him to this place where he could say what he needed to say to rescue his presidency. >> so many people walk into the oval office and tell president what he wants to know. not what he needs to know. very few people are willing to be the reality therapist. and nancy was willing to do that. >> a few months ago,

regan got off the lines, there you go again, are you better off. people forget the degree to which there was broad anxiety about ronald regan, because, believe it or not, his age. he was going to turn 70 a couple of weeks after being inaugurated and it was thought that was pushing it at that point, only 16 years, a decade and a half, since barry goldwater, and ronald reagan was a barry goldwater disciple, and there was a sense out there the country was not going to elect a president that conservative. there were fears that reagan was too extreme. the debate performances would allay that. >> final question for you. because we're talking about this distance between a narrow victory, or a narrow trump victory or a big biden win and things in between, i guess the question is how much is your sense that these results are correlated, right? like if we're looking at north carolina, georgia, and florida, for instance, do we think -- is there a reason to believe demographically or politically we'll see those move together one way or not? >> it depends. look

>> well, the regan white house experience certainly did teach me a lot of things, anderson. actually, i was designated as a briefer on the afternoon he was shot to tell people where he was and what happened. i learned how important it is for the government to be straightforward in a democracy to tell people the truth. it will help people understand the full story. otherwise, what you find is that people start making up stories and then they get and make up the most negative stories they can. then you find that enemies overseas look for ways to take advantage. we got our eye on the wrong ball at the time. so it goes in, if you provide people with truth, then americans, you know, they can cheer you on and bring us together and if you got hard truths, it's better to let people know and not speculate. i think that the people in the press who have been arguing this afternoon, this white house ought to open up. we need a set of doctors, not the chief of staff, not some communications person, not some political person, we need real physicians to come and tell the country what is go

he didn't learn at the time how serious regan's condition was. they wanted to portray the president was in control when the situation was dire. do you see -- go ahead. go ahead. >> no, you're -- i'm so glad you brought that up. i think you're right. baker went to the hospital, was shocked what he found. at the same time, they were eager to put on a face to the american public not bring attention to regan's age. they refused to use the 25th amendment and transfer power to george bush. it was really, you know, a key moment for this presidency, the re regan presidency. they didn't want visitors in. they blocked the door to avoid that. i think it's not going to be surprising if we're not hearing the full truth from the trump white house because there is a long history of that. >> there is. of course, now a whole country clambering for information from a president usually so telling. thanks so all of you for joining us. our breaking news coverage continues with "ac 360." >>> good evening. we begin with a picture of the most serious presidential health

applause] a little more than a decade ago, the cold war thawed and with the leadership of presidents regan and bush, that wall came down. but instead of seizing this moment, the clinton gore administration has squandered it. we have seen a steady erosion of american power and an unsteady exercise of american influence. our military is low on parts, pay and morale. if called on by the commander-in-chief today, two entire divisions of the army would have to report, not ready for duty, serve. this administration had its moment. they've had their chance. they have not lead, we will. [applause] this generation -- this generation was given the gift of the best education in american history. yet we do not share that gift with everyone. seven of ten fourth graders in our highest poverty schools cannot read a simple children's book, and still, this administration continues on the same old pap, the same old programs, while millions are trapped in schools where violence is common and learning is rare. this administration had its chance. they have not lead. we will. [applause] america has a strong eco

that talk. >> bork was pummeled by biden and others and left to fight largely on his own by president regan. >> he thought he was smarter than biden and he thought he could beat biden and he was wrong. >> the yeas are 42. the nays are 58. the nomination is not confirmed. >> in a 2008 interview, four years before his death, bork told cnn that, quote, as a whole, biden wasn't fair. >> the democrats, including biden, spent the time making the scurrilous charges against me. >> democrats praised biden but others blamed him for permanently politicizing judicial confirmations. >> well, he really presided over the inauguration of the politics of personal destruction in the judicial confirmation process. >> and now the ideology of the judge is front and center. how are you going to vote on these things? >> for some, bork was a verb, a shatterhand for getting railroaded and destroyed, and remains to this day. >> it wasn't just a good, affordable care act attempt at borking. >> what do you say when they say it was about his ideology. >> it was about his constitutional philosophy, which was totally leg

him about the importance of donald trump's walk from the white house to marine one, seeing president regan walking was also relevant when he was shot in 1981. well, it was a very important to ronald reagan, back in 1981, to demonstrate he wasn't in trouble. he wasn't on live television when he did that, right? in fact, it happened so quickly after the assassination attempt, three minutes, that he arrived at the hospital, he was doing it mostly to send a message to those around him — and himself, probably. like, "i can do this". and then, as we know, he got into the hospital and managed to walk 35 feet before he collapsed like a dead weight into the arms of his agents, and we learned he had been shot and nearly killed. you know, reagan lost more than half his blood that day and a bullet was extracted just an inch from his heart. but to your point about it being important for donald trump to be seen walking to the helicopter, it goes, actually, to the next day after reagan had been shot, the day after he had been shot he had to sign a dairy bill — and it's kind of crazy, the dairy bill â

criminals are going to be held. [ cheers and applause ] during the reagan administration, during the regan administration we abolished parole at the federal level. in the dole administration we will work with the nation's governors to abolish parole for violent criminals all across america. and with my national instant check initiative we will keep all guns out of the hands of criminals. and if i have a litmus test for judges, i do. my litmus test for judges is that they be intolerant of outrage that their passion is not to amend but to interpret the constitution -- [ cheers and applause ] that they are restrained in regard to those who live within the law and strict with those who break it. and for those who say that i should not make president clinton's liberal judicial appointments an issue in this campaign, i have a simple response. i have heard your argument. the motion is denied! [ cheers and applause ] i save my respect for the constitution, not for those who will ignore it, violate it, or replace it with conceptions of their own fancy. my administration will zealously protect civil

cheryl: i am cheryl regan. i am an exhibit director in the interpretative programs office at the library of congress. barbara: i am barbara bair. i am the curator of this exhibit, and i am an historian in the manuscript division of the library of congress. cheryl: this exhibition "jacob riis: revealing how the other half lives" is a co-presentation with the museum of the city of new york. it is the first time that the collections of the library of congress and the jacob riis papers have been married with the photographs that are in the stellar collection at the museum of the city of new york. we picked the word "co-presentation" very carefully because the exhibition here actually follows an exhibit that was at the museum of the city of new york and that exhibit was called "jacob riis: revealing new york's other half" was slightly different. it looks at riis in a slightly different way, and sort of concentrating more on his biography, more on his photography. here we are looking at riis as the journalist, becaus

for like a year later, which really -- which has happened to a lot of comedians david cross and brian regan both talk about how the first thing they went on stage, they annihilated and then they could not figure out how to make that happen again for like a year and that really messes with you. >> jimmy: it really does you're like, "what did i do? what was the secret of that night? was i just in a better mood? that's so interesting. >> yeah, but luckily, on my first night, i didn't have the disadvantages that dave chappelle had i completely ate it. had nowhere to go but up [ laughter ] >> jimmy: you set the bar low. >> yeah, not only did i eat it, i had that thing, i'm sure you've had this happen too where i got the one laugh i got was from another comedian. but he gave me that kind of polite, like, oh i see how you were trying to get -- i appreciate that you were trying to get to a joke you didn't get to a joke, but i will acknowledge the effort. you have heard that before, haven't you? >> jimmy: oh, it's my favorite the left side of the room at the improv that's where all the comics would

let's speak now tojenni regan who is suffering from long—covid. you had covid but she did not have a test about what you'd do believe you had it, talk us through what happened to you. listening to that package was really kind of everything she said it was really holding true. i became unwell right at the beginning of lockdown so before schools actually closed down. i was so tired i cannot get out of bed, i had a bad cough and a bad chest, mainly the tiredness just feeling incredibly unwell. and that happened for around two weeks. at the time we were being told not to use the nhs and i did call 111 a couple of times because i did not feel very safe. but obviously at the time we were told that to leave it for the people that needed it. so i never got tested like many. now all these months on how do you feel?m started, i became very unwell for a couple of weeks and then a kind of got better and i felt that that i have had it now, that's fine. it's been the in waves since then, and so i got better and then two weeks later i felt even worse. so i had t

ronald regan in 19d 81 when he was shot. he thought a letter was drafted giving vice president george h.w. bush the power to be president while ragan was under anesthesia. they didn't do it because they thought it would alarm people. no president used the 25th amendment to do that ever before. ragan in 1985 had intestinal surgery at what is now walter reed, same place president trump is now and he did sign a letter saying vice president of bush can act as president while i'm under anesthesia but i'm not fully invoking the 25th amendment. finally, george w. bush in 2002, 2007 had col low no, sir skoe pis and he wrote letters before those saying under the 25th amendment i want vice president cheney to act in my stead. that's the way it's supposed to happen. >> so this is where i think your expertise is so important because something we do know is that the president likes to appear always strong. he likes to make sure -- >> oh, yes. >> he likes to make sure people recognize he is healthy. joe biden's junior, granted by three ye

having said that, we're bullish on the china regan. it's just up -- china rebound. it's just the politics will be difficult. sebastian joining us. we'll have plenty more coverage of this breaking news of what's happening with president trump and milana trump, both of them testing positive for covid-19. i want to get to other headlines. understand there is an appointment in the diary. is that a positive development? the pound has been on a whipsaw all week by talks of progress, lack of progress, good ,elationship, poor relationship just watching the pound to see if we get instant reaction. we see pound has been down, sold off with other risk assets. eye on the pound. this is bloomberg. ♪ anna: welcome back to the european market open, 30 minutes into your trading session, and equity markets making losses down around .5%. the top story is donald and melania trump testing positive for covid-19, both said to be on good form and generally have good health. not adversely affected by this positive test, but we will wait to see if hope hicks, one of his close aides, has b

i think perpetually governor regan has advocated the injection of military forces into troubled areas. when i, and my predecessors both democrats and republicans, have advocated resolving those troubles, and those difficult areas in the world, peacefully, diplomatically, and through negotiation. in addition to that, the buildup of military forces is good for our country, because you have to have military history in order to preserve the peace. but i will always remember that the best weapons are the ones that are never fired in combat. and the best soldier, is the one who never has to lay his life down on the field of battle. strength is imperative for peace, but the two most go hand in hand. >> thank, you gentlemen. the next question is from harry ellis, to president carter. >> mister president, when you are elected in 1976, the consumer price index stood out 4.8%. and it now stands out about -- more than 12%. perhaps more significantly, the nation's broader underlying inflation rate has gone up from 7% to 9%. now, a part of that was due to external factors beyond us -- beyond u.s. c

and the two numbers to keep in mind are in 1964 lyndon johnson won 61% and 1972 nixon did and in 1984 regan won. they won above 60. if biden gets 54 or 55%, that's like the old 60. >> yeah. i agree with you. i'm going to warn you that i might need your wider lens on all of this pretty regularly between now and election day, jon meacham. >> i stand here ready. >> good luck tonight to your yankees. >>> when we come back as we do every day remembering lives well lived. ♪ things are getting clearer, yeah i feel free ♪ ♪ to bare my skin ♪ yeah that's all me. ♪ nothing and me go hand in hand ♪ ♪ nothing on my skin ♪ that's my new plan. ♪ nothing is everything. keep your skin clearer with skyrizi. 3 out of 4 people achieved 90% clearer skin at 4 months. of those, nearly 9 out of 10 sustained it through 1 year. and skyrizi is 4 doses a year, after 2 starter doses. ♪ i see nothing in a different way ♪ ♪ and it's my moment so i just gotta say ♪ ♪ nothing is everything skyrizi may increase your risk of infections and lower your ability to fight them. before treatment your d

just as barry gould waters candidacies is set to have led to the presidents iran regan. i think you can give mcgovern credit for the barack obama presidency in 2008. it just took longer for that constituency to melt and become a governing majority. it was not ready in 1972. >> all right, tonight's contender, george mcgovern, the democratic congressman and senator from south dakota in the 1972 democratic nominee for the president. let me get our viewers involved. first phone call is from mike in poughkeepsie, new york. you are on the air, good evening. >> good evening, hello. mcgovern became the head of the middle east policy council after deciding not to run for presidency again in 1992. and with this he submitted a proposal to president clinton calling the united states to protect access to iranian oil in response to israel's failure to end conflict with the arab countries. did president clinton except the proposal and, if so, what happened as an effective it? >> pretty specific question there. i don't know, scott faris, jewels witcover is here shaking his head and does

there was a 10 point shift and that is what trump needed to do the reason why regan shifted, he did better in the debate under donald trump, a plurality feel that they are better off, but it is not that wide and donald trump did not perform that well last night as ronald reagan did against jimmy carter. >> i voted for carter the first time around. i was there. and i remember i don't ascribe to just the debate like that it was a single night that just did it when it finally happened, it looked -- you know, when it finally did happen, it was like wow, this was the way it should have been, the way it was meant to be. and i don't know about -- 2016, there were a lot of egg on a lot of faces and we'll have people today that were at 80% are or 90% for hilly clinton. and they will talk about where they are today so we'll know how everything comes out in 11 days [ inaudible >> they want answers and that is my responsibility. as of now, of all the factors, i don't see that the ads and all of the trappings of the campaign between now and election day are enough, that there would need to be one more

kenosha county hadn't voted for a gop president since ronald regan back in 1984 donald trump storming back to take kenosha racine county where we are now and the state but he won kenosha county by only 255 points. now i was last in wisconsin about six weeks ago and a lot has changed in that time number one, unfortunately the number of covid cases has spiked the number of people who know somebody who's had coronavirus or covid has gone from about 30% to about 83% a lot of the hospitals have grown in capacity as well. and with that, donald trump's approval rating and chances of re-winning wisconsin seem to have come down, at least according to pretty much every poll you can argue about the spread some have him at 4 or 6%, some wider as a loss to biden, but we know this, coronavirus cases, covid cases have gone up and of course social unrest as well, refiring up outside of philadelphia that sparks memories of kenosha. guys, fox con also a big issue highly taughted corporate project by the president and the taiwanese manufacturer promising 20 million square feet and 13,000 jobs and as of

also ronald regan's ceqa has been used more than it has been done to protect the environment. the planning commission has done its job and the ceqa appeal is a last-ditch effort to block this development. supervisors, you are just as concerned about the city's housing crisis as i am and please do the right thing and get homes built. thank you. >> clerk: thank you for your comments. operations, let's hear from the next caller in support of the project and in opposition to the appeal. >> caller: hi, i'm a resident in district 6. and i am well aware what comes with housing development. i have to say that looking at these plans, those of us in district 6 would kill for developments like this. this development is environmentally friendly. it has setbacks. it has open space. you know, district 6 is commonly the apartments and small boxes with no open space looking into your neighbors' windows. this project has none of that. iit has passed the life and safety planning and passed all of the requirements that the city has put forth. in fact, it's only here in front of the supervisors b

. —— regan ware. there has been very little respite for nurses. we started the year injanuary with nurses on the picket line highlighting the number of vacancies we had in northern ireland. so we had a significant workforce issue before covid hit and that has continued through covid. if you add the vacancy numbers to the numbers of staff who are having to self—isolate, nurses having to go off on maternity leave because they are at risk and the numbers of nurses who are ill, it really is a significant workforce gap at the minute which we are very concerned about. with the first lockdown, there were calls for people to come back out of retirement to go back into the profession to help, also stu d e nts into the profession to help, also students graduating early in order to help out. have positions being filled through either of those measures? what are you thinking about what could be done to try to ease those pressures going forward now? there is a workforce appeal out again so that has gone back out from the department of health, appealing for s

let's speak now to david regan, director of public health for the city of manchester. firstly, what do you make of this glitch, as it has been called, we we re glitch, as it has been called, we were exploding it there without technology correspondent and it turns out it was down ten —— exploring it. it is a down to the use of an old excel file format which has led to a pretty big mistake on what is supposed to be a world beating test entry system. when we looked at her incidence rate for the 1st of october it was 236 per 100,000 from manchester. yesterday, sunday, it went up to 495.6, so clearly, we saw a significant increase in rate and partly down to the glitch and partly down to the fact that a significant number of cases were only uploaded onto the system so our daily totals last monday, tuesday and wednesday increase significantly and we saw a total of 2500 and —— 2740 cases when this was based on the data ending the week of the 1st of october. that because there is a major concern. what a priority has been was double—checking that the cases we knew abou
