congress jack kemp? >> of all the introductions i had, that is the latest. peter, thank you for that introduction. i thought i was invited to the breakfast u.s.a. editorial board, not the american society of professional humorous. i appreciate the invitation. i got a kick out of jean becker's profile on the kemp family. she reported with amazing integrity, clarity and vision. my family i was guilty a little bit. i got more mail and more comments from that little profile jean and u.s.a. today than i have in about 90% of the other things we have done. my name i.d. is rising. thanks not to me but my family and particularly my children. peter, i am delighted to be here. i appreciate the hospitality and the opportunity to appear before u.s.a.u.s.a. today editorial board. doesn't look to me in this surrounding of your building that you're lacking for anything, much less gold. i won't try to match you in the one upsmanship area. i am glad to be here. particularly appreciate the opportunity to visit with one of the industries in america. one of the entrepreneurials

we talked about jack kemp had these ideas of enterprise i.t. says businesses want to go into like laces like all the more were you have torn down buildings and there is no opportunity for young black people who are trying to break that generational cycle jack kemp said we are going to give tax credits to these businesses to set up shop in baltimore and torn down predominately blackor cities where there's no economic opportunity. it's also about mentoring and talking to young people and really explaining that when you have a job you are able to buy things. when you finish high school and get a high school education you are able to empower yourself to get that job and maybe go to college. i don't think it should be college, college for everybody. we need to get back to vocational training and it's also telling young people what happens when you have a baby when you're not ready for a baby , when you have a baby out of wedlock and talking abstinence. in the book i talk about the best friends are a grammar delay and started and this is a program th

i first met jack kemp exactly where you would expect, at tortilla coast . it was true. i was waiting tables. like you i had student loans. i had a few jobs and i was a waiter and i waited on jack kemp. i didn't bother him that day. i told a friend one day i would love to have a chance of working for that man. as luck would have it such an opening came up. the thing about jack was that he was an optimist all the way. he refused to accept that any part of america or the american idea could ever be written off. here was a conservative willin , no, he was a conservative eager to go to america's bleakest communities and talk about how free enterprise would lift people out of poverty. these were the areas of the country that had not seen a republican leader in years if ever. i have a chance to come to jack on some of these visits. i saw how people took to him. he took new lessons from each experience. he found common cause with poverty fighters on the ground. instead of a sense of dread, at that time i was given a sense of purpose. jack inspired me to develop my professional

i had a student loans, i was a waiter and i waited on jack kemp. i didn't bother him that day that i told a friend one day i would love to have a chance to work for that band and as luck would have it such an opening came up. the thing is he was an optimist all the way. he refused to accept that any part of america where the american idea could ever be written off here was a conservative willing and eager to go to the weakest defeat -- bleakest communities. these are the areas that haven't seen a leader in years if ever. i had the chance to accompany him on some of the visit and i us all how people to to him and how he took lessons from each experience. he found a common cause on the ground and instead of the sense of drift at this time i began to feel a sense of purpose. he inspired me to develop my professional life to public policy and became a vocation to me. his ideas promoted, put to the test that's what politics can be. that's what our country can be. it can be a confident america where we have a basic faith in politics and leaders. that sou

kemp and we talked about how he had these ideas of enterprise zones and if the businesses want to go to places like baltimore where he would have torn down buildings and there's no opportunity for those that are trying to break the cycle jack kemp said we will give tax credits to businesses to set up their shop in baltimore and 20 on the predominantly black cities where there is no economic opportunity. but it's also about the enduring and talking to young people and explaining that when you have a job you are able to buy things and when you finish high school and get a high school education, were able to to empower yourself to get the job and then maybe go to college and i don't think it should be college is for everybody getting into debt. we need to get back into vocational training and it's also telling young people what happens when you have a baby when you are not ready for a baby and you have a baby out of wedlock and talking abstinence. in the book i talk about the best friends foundation which elaine bennett started and also this is a program that was teaching young girls to

new york republican congressman jack kemp meets with the editorial board of usa today. >> what are you going to do to win support from the group, the religious right. by president bush is winning converts by talking about his isiefs in god, pat robinson the religious rate -- right. what are you going to do to get that support? >> i have a lot of support. i have tried hard to broaden the base of the party. my campaign is not aimed at the image and call -- evangelical christian, it is aimed at old, young, i do not want a campaign that is narrowly based. of all the campaigns, the one progressive conservative campaign that can reach out to people of all faiths and beliefs and socioeconomic and racial, ethnic differences is my campaign. i will not do anything specifically other than try to bring as many people into my campaign who share my beliefs in the pearl is a -- pluralism of america. i will not debate by a theology and it will not wear it on my sleeve. >> are you writing them off then? or what? >> i would stand by what i said. >> watch the entire event on sunday, 10:00 a.m. eastern, o

paul ryan like jack kemp became a member of the house of representatives and he became the speaker of the house. he gathered his audience of interns today in the hearing room of the most powerful committee in the house, the ways and means committee and the only partisan par in his speech with about a 1981 tax cut that jack kemp pushed through congress in that room that the interns were sitting in. the interns paul ryan was speaking to today are new to politics. many of them watching a presidential campaign closely for the first time in their lives so the most important thing that paul ryan wanted them to know today was this -- >> our political discourse, both the kind that we see on tv and the kind that we experience among each other, it does not use to be this bad and it does not have to be this way. >> he didn't mention any candidates' names, but everything he said about what is wrong with our current political climate applies to the front-runner for the republican presidential nomination. >> if someone has a bad idea, well why don't we tell them why our idea is better. we don't ins

and i was waiting on jack kemp. i did not bother him that day. but i told a friend, when day i would love to work for that matter. as luck would have it, such an opening came up. the thing about jack was that he was an optimist all the way. he refused to accept that any part of america were idea could ever be written off. here was a conservative willing, no, eager to go into america's biggest communities and talk about how free enterprise would lift people out of poverty. these were the areas of the country that had not seen a republican leader in years, if ever. i had the chance to a company jack on these visits. i saw people took to him. how he listened, how he took lessons from the experience. he found common cause with poverty fighters on the ground. instead of a sense of drift, i began to feel a sense of purpose. jack inspired me to develop my professional life to public policy. it became integration to me. --a vocation to me. ideas put to the test, that is what politics means. that is what our country can be. america we covenant have faith

jack kemp's phrase, do you remember that, i think it was 1988, bob dole's phrase jack kemp said bob dole has never met a tax he didn't want to hike. >> and yet jack kemp ended up being his running mate. >> isn't that amazing? that's what i'm saying. you've got all these people and they will all come together. look at hillary, the situation there on the democrats. >> we have some news that might be happening out of cpac right now. let's go to maryland. kristin fisher is with us right now. what are you hearing? >> well, the panel has just come out on stage to announce the straw poll results. they haven't announced the winner just yet. they're kind of going through other data points at the moment. but we should know who won the big cpac annual straw poll any moment now. the state has been dominated by republican candidates that did not show up. donald trump and his last-minute decision to cancel on cpac really meant that the republican front-runner would not have a voice at this gathering of conservative activists. that left an opening for his opponent marco rubio to come in and paint him a

and a lot of this goes back to his, when he worked for jack kemp. and we talk about kemp had these ideas of enterprise zones, you know? he said that if businesses want to go into like, you know, places like baltimore where you have torn-down buildings and there's no opportunity for youno black people who are trying to wreak that generational -- break that generational cycle, jack kemp said we're going to give tax credits to these businesses to set up shop in baltimore in torn-down, you know, predominantly black cities where there's no economic opportunity but i think it's also about mentoring and talking to young people and really explaining that, you know, when you have a job, you're able to buy things. when you finish high school and get a high school education, you're able to empower yourself to actually get that job and then maybe go to college. i don't think it should be college, college for everybody getting into debt. we need to get back to vocational training. and it's also telling young people what happens when you have a baby when you're n

paul ryan is a jack kemp disciple. there's no one more antikemp and everything in his message, the substance, than donald trump. the problem trump has is a three-legged stool. there are people who worry about the politics, that they'll lose a lot of states. people who worry about his positions, the strong conservatives, and a number of others who say is he fit to be president? that's a tough -- >> what's in it for trump? i'm a little surprised. i understand the bounds between saying i'm an outsider. he was asked why am i onboard. what is in it for him to try to win members of congress over? >> well, i think he has to do it on his terms. >> he is. >> which he is basically trying to do. he can't say i've sold out. he can't give a wink and a nod i don't really mean what i'm saying on immigration. i think it is in his interests to say i can come close to putting this party together. i don't think he can. i don't think anybody can. >> i think it'll help him at the convention. his eyes are on getting the right number of dele

. >> now all of a sudden, let's be like jack kemp. rubio is out and jeb is out, they lose in home states. lindsey graham was at negative percent in his own state. i don't know how you can be. that they don't represent anyone in the republican party and wagging their finger at us, last time i checked paul ryan didn't deliver wisconsin for mitt romney. i like paul ryan but lost wisconsin by 7 points. >> and losing most of the rest of the country because he pretends to neutrality that doesn't exist. he pretends to be faint of heart, if you raise your voice or the language is a little coarse. >> the interpretation for the viewers, that means when populism or conservatism or reaganism is wing, the tone has got to be changed. lou: absolutely. you couldn't be more correct and, of course, i know that you and i are both so sensitive that we require a lot of -- >> our feelings get hurt easily. you're a fuzz ball and i am too. lou: what a condition it is to be in. laura ingraham, thank you so much. >> take care. lou: we're coming right back, a l

we worked for jack kemp. if he understood that paul ryan refused to take on thebigotry. oh to see these people lecturing donald trump who has many times over gone after david duke and dissociatived himself from david duke, and i might add, donald trump's daughter, son-in-law are jewish. the implication he would be consorting with him is bizarre. >> that's why it was so surprising. that's. >> jake tapper thought wait a minute, you just said i don't know david duke. i don't know about this white supremicst. you can't blame this on an earpiece. the polls are showing donald trump is poised to sweep right across these super tuesday states. maybe not texas, but that remains to be seen. a lot of people want to know if this changes the dynamic for him at all. if he needs to listen to any whiff of the sounds coming from heretofore very, very important people. alex? >> well, i don't think it changes the dynamic for this, these primaries today. donald trump's support, his core is going to stick with him. what it does do is it limits trump's ability to grow beyond his base and unify

i came out of a background of ronald reagan and jack kemp, and what we did with the contract with america, i hope that speaker paul ryan is going to be part of creating a better, more ideal oriented, more inclusive republican party. i know that's what he wants to do. and i think in that sense, that his speech is a beacon of hope for all the younger republicans who are looking for a future in which they can be very proud of a governing party. he's got to be a little frustrated. this has been a primary season that has had a lot more tweets and attacks, and not just donald trump. you had rubio and cruz for a long stretch each yelling liar, liar about the other one. so a fair amount of things here. you had the jeb bush pac spending $25 million attacking marco rubio. so it's just been a mess, which is frankly the nature of these primaries. you start out with 17 candidates, there's going to be a fair amount of negativity knocking people out. >> wow. it's quite extraordinary. mr. speaker, always a pleasure to see you. happy easter to you and family. >> happy easter. >> thank you so much. >>> up

kemp, as he answered questions from the editorial board of "usa today." >> while i have conservative values and i'm conservative on fiscal policy and conservative on defense policy, i am progressive with regard to my belief in the republican party being a lincoln party, a party of black and white, and blue collar and white collar and of all people. so i call it progressive conservative, in order to differentiate myself from the idea that i'm up here standing defending the status quo. >> and at 4:00 p.m. eastern on "real america" for the 50th anniversary of the gemini 8 manned space mission we'll show you 1966 nasa film "gem know viii this is houston flight." >> they analyzed the flight, a three-day mission its primary purposes include rendezvous in space with a target veeg, the first docking in space and a two-hour spacewalk by pilot david scott. >> for the complete american history tv weekend schedule go to cspan.org. and we're live again with remarks from france's interior minister. this is just about to start. >> -- interior for france, bernard casanueve. he has obviously got his

when they had to have the tax increase, jack kemp came down pounding the table and the president effectively sent him home and said, jack doesn't get it. you get things done in politics by getting a compromise. >> and he would sit in the office at the end of the day, the legislative strategy team, and one on one, they would go into the oval office, and he would sit with the president and the president would say, just get me 80%. that'll be good enough. get me 80%. i was also struck by the letter that brian mulroney, it was a christmas day letter from ron reagan to his wife, nancy, their first white house christmas, and when that book of letters came out, you realized the elegance of his writing, the intelligence that went into it, the attributions to poems. he was very, very bright. a beautiful writer. no speechwriter could have written those beautiful love letters. >> and not only that, and every husband, including myself, you think, boy, do i have this in me? you know, it really does -- you're like, gosh darn you, ronald reagan, you're making us all look so bad. craig, i am -- one of the o

next from the 1988 campaign, new york republican congressman jack kemp. in 1966, bob dole selected mr. kemp. this event took place at u.s.a. today's headquarters just outside of washington d.c. this is just under an hour. >> good morning. i'm peter pritchard managing editor of special projects for u.s.a. today. this is another in our series of meetings with the presidential candidates in 1988. this morning, we have congressman afternoon kemp republican from new york from western new york where it snows all the time with us. it doesn't s

jack kemp would be appalled at this. i hate to say this about the republican establishment but their view of civil rights is to tip the black waiter $5 at the country club. this is atrocious. donald trump is not going to patronize people. >> there's a lot of things you said i could take you on about. i want to be very, very clear. the things that donald trump has done and not just in this race are horribly offensive. can you go back to this guy for a long time -- i want to talk. >> i didn't say anything yet. >> you breathed. you can go back to the central jogger case where he came out and had innocent black kids winding up in -- >> no, innocent kids. >> innocent black kids. i agree with you about a lot. i think we have taken him not seriously, we have not respected his voters, but there is a dark underside here and he is whipping up and tapping into and pushing buttons that are very, very frightening to me and frightening to a lot of people. number one, when he is playing funny with the klan, that is not cool. >> he didn

kemp as he answers questions. conservativeve values and conservative on progressivey, i'm with regard to my belief in the republican party being a lincoln party, a party of black and white, blue collar, white collar, all people. i call it progressive conservative to differentiate myself. >> at 4 p.m. eastern on real america, for the 50th anniversary of the gemini eight manned space mission, we will show the 1966 nasa film "gemini eight." >> expert sit down and analyze the flight. they know it is a three-day mission. poses is thepersons iur first docking in space and a two hour spacewalk. >> for the complete american history tv weekend schedule, go to c-span.org. now, the funeral for former first lady nancy reagan. the service was held at the ronald reagan presidential library in seamy valley, -- simi valley, california. among those speaking at the service, brian mulroney, tom brokaw, and the children of the former president and first lady. this is just over three hours.

and it is not in the nature of a reagan or a jack kemp or george bush senior or george w. bush to have someone who has this kind of behavioral challenge. so it is tragic. i think he brought it on because of his tactics that he's used to show that he is the tough guy that will be able to keep us safe from these threats. we are still the greatest earth.y on the face of the he is and not the right guy. >> so as we look at these pictures, you're seeing inside, outside the trump rally. david gergen, what can donald trump do to stop this? can he step up and be statesman like and stop this? what does he do? they put out a statement. they said there were security concerns. they said go in peace. what does he do now? what would you tell him to do? >> he has to go to the country. he has to sit down in a calm way, a calm place through television and talk to the country about what he expects going forward. what he wants. he will to have issue a clear call, which he has not done so far about having peaceful rallies. he only wants people to come in peace and leave in peace. and he has t

kemp image to a more relational view of human nature which i think is what the cognitive science is-- that we are primarily loving creatures, not thinking creatures. and unless we are enmeshed in a web of love jz you are-- . >> rose: you are beginning to sound like john kasich. >> i will be add too. >> rose: but the point is, there is no one articulating that. it almost is a third way, in a sense, and almost what a third party might have represented, it is, in fact, it is a traditional definition between some sense of social responsibility and conservative fiscal policy that enables you to create the skills that enable you to prosper in a modern economy. >> yeah, if you don't have those relationships, it's very hard to exercise self-control. it's very hard to sit in a school room and build relationships with teachers. it's very hard to subbing cease in a modern workplace where computers are doing all the nonpersonal stuff and relational skills are the key. and you know, i came across a study in a book called life reimagined by barbara badly haggerty just came out it was a study of wo

we talk about jack kemp who had these ideas of enterprise. he said that if businesses want to go to places like baltimore where you have torn down buildings and there no opportunity for young black people were trying to break the generational cycle, then jack camp said we're going to give tax credits to these businesses to set up shop in baltimore and torn down, predominantly black cities where there is no economic opportunity. i think it is also about mentoring and talking to young people and really explaining that when you have a job, you are able to buy things, when you finish high school and get a high school education, you are able to empower yourself to actually get that job and then maybe go to college. i don't think should be college for everybody. we need to get back to vocational training, and it is also telling young people when it -- what happens when you have a baby when you are not ready for a baby. and talking abstinence. in the book, i talk about the best friends foundation program which elaine bennett started. this is a progr

it's not in the nature of a reagan or of jack kemp or a george bush sr. or george w. bush to have someone who's got this kind of behavioral challenge. so, i think it's tragic. i think he brought it on because of his tactics he's used to show he's the tough guy that's going to be able to, you know, keep us safe from these threats. we are still the greatest country on the face of the earth and he's not the right guy to lead us forward, period. >> meanwhile, trump supporters say he's reacting correctly to protesters who are unlawfully blocking his first amendment rights. >> he did exactly what he should have done. he shut down the rally. he didn't want violence. he said repeatedly in your interview with him. in the statement he released, in the very end of it, he said, please, go in peace. he did the right thing this evening. instead of the story being 10,000 protesters showed up, disrupted the first amendment rights of donald trump and trump supporters, and all images on the screen right now, you're not seeing people in donald trump shirts causing -- >> who is criticizi

kemp and you have spoken out on that for several occasions to say you don't like the tone. if people like you speak out and condemn things you think are offensive in the campaign but say you're going to support the candidate doing those things as the nominee, aren't you proving him right when he says i can walk down 5th avenue and lose somebody. >> have to respect the primary voter and the citizens of the party and those that go to the polls to respect the nominee. it's the primary voter who chooses it but i am a conservative. i am a progrowth happy warrior, constitutionalist and i'm going to speak out for what i believe in. the inclusive, aspirational optimistic politics that unites people. the kind of politics that i reject which i think the president has played successfully is identity politics. that is kocondescending. the left shouldn't do it and neither should the right. that's why i speak out on these things when see that happening but at the end of the day the republican primary voter gets to make the decision. >> and you to follow that decision. >> it's not my deci

if we win the type of election we're hoping to win in 2016, not unlike what ronald reagan and jack kemp did in 1980, then we will have earned a mandate from the country to put these things in place. if then your scenario -- >> you hold the house -- >> divided government, we'll figure out how to make it work. it's going to be more of the same and that's the frustration. what we're roried about, facing our country that we're fueling up, they are still fixable. if we have ood presidency like this presidency, then i do worry the rest days will be behind us. we'll have to figure out how to make it work and won't be nearly as good. >> if you look at the polls now which suggests that the nominee, if the clarifying election goes to the democrats on a national basis how is paul ryan going to work with hillary clinton if she's the new president. very big question. >> great series, thanks. >> time for a cnbc news update with sue herrera. >> here's what's happening. marco rubio will return to private life at the end of his senate term. the former gop presidential candidate who suspended his campaig

as jack kemp within a progress democrat, so i like to see a little bit of balance. stuart: the obvious question is do you see yourself supporting donald trump? >> you get a lot of support from ohio. stuart: are you going to run away from the democrats and hillary imus program? >> you are putting me on the spot. >> i support them as a person. i wish them the best of luck to stuart: is he a nice guy in private? >> he is, absolutely. stuart: are there to donald trump, the big guy who belittle everybody in public. >> that's all i can vouch for. i know his daughter as well. stuart: hold on the second. i want to go to mitch mcconnell and the florida senate the senate responding to president obama's nominee for the supreme court. >> -- and the nation would have to pay for what assuredly would be a bitter fight no matter how good a person is nominated by the president. chairman joe biden, consider that last part. senator biden said the cost to the nation would be too great no matter who the president nominate. president obama and his allies may now pretend this disagreement

some of these republicans, these are the kind of folks that used to drive jack kemp crazy. the idea of civil rights is tipping the back waiter an extra five bucks at the country club. we need a candidate who is going to go into the communities around the country and treat them as americans. the african american community, if you want to use that phrase, is having a very difficult time with unemployment. and this is the obama administration. well why is it? it is because of the policies so donald trump -- >> you're the person bringing up the dem grarvegs. so you think that african american voters and hispanic voters will vote for trump? >> sure. because if you appeal to them based on economics, as opposed to race, you are in a better position. and it is better for the country. it is healthier. >> jeffrey, i would like to see that. because you are right. i agree with you. you have to go talk to people. you have to bring your message to new communities. so you and i are agreeing on tactics. it is hard to see how donald trump works his way back from some of the incredibly divis
