and this time we're going to let ronald reagan be ronald reagan. >> the mantra let reagan be reagan is take advantage of what we've got. the strongest thing, our best political asset is ronald reagan being himself, communicating with the american people. when he was showing his personality, his ideas and rhetoric, he generally succeeded. >> going into tonight, a new poll indicates the race continues to narrow. >> the audience out there will be looking at ronald reagan in a new way. i think in louisville, the myths or the mystique of the great communicator was dented, perhaps irreparably. >> president kennedy had to go days on end with very little sleep during the cuban missile crisis. is there any doubt you'd be able to function in such circumstances? >> not at all. and 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 hour, and it was his house by then. >> there were several times during his first term when i thought this man is not going to be re-elected president. i guess

ronald reagan, and there likely would not have been a president ronald reagan, without a nancy reagan. of course, it may not have happened that way, if she was not made of such stern stuff, she may not have made it all the way to being mrs. ronald reagan. my dad played hard to get a little bit when they were dating, way back when. he had already purchased a ranch not too far from here in malibu, and he loved to go there and ride his horses and buck hey, generally get dirty and sweaty outdoors. not the kind of thing that she is really crazy about, my mother. [laughter] ron reagan: but she was a good sport, and she wanted to participate in this. if he loved his ranch, well, she was going to love the ranch, too. and so she would go out there and he would do his thing and she would wonder how she could help. this ranch in malibu, about 700 acres, had a long driveway that led to the house, about a half mile, fences on both sides. so they would go out there and hang out, the ranchers, but she wanted to help, as i said, so she asked him, what can i do to help? did i mention that the fences l

ronald reagan came to this not as rapidly as some would have wanted. nancy reagan had a lot to do with that with the means with gorbachev. when we asked why he had not met with three previous soviet leaders for the first nuclear summit, he said well, they all keep dying on me. they were elderly. this was a 50 something gorbachev and the first person who could do a deal. there were ups and downs and setbacks, but the fact is there has been a steady progression as joe pointed out towards reducing the weapons. they have too many and modernizing them is debatable whether they should be as high tech and miniaturized as they are going to be. this just didn't make sense. >> if someone asked you yesterday afternoon, sitting next to you on a train and learning about your life's work, give me the elevator pitch. where is our nuclear policy? i hear things from time to time about start talks. are we down in terms of nuclear weapons and is it a safer world in terms of us and who is number two or three? >> we have the best nuclear arsenal in the world. no u.s. milit

this is about the future of life. >> ronald reagan thought that the freeze movement was ridiculous. that the weapons were way too high, that it would block 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. >> reagan 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. and that was the birth of the initiative called 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. >> president reagan didn't understand all of the technologies. what he understood

the reagan comparison is -- ronald reagan was the governor of california! >> exactly. >> he had a job, other than acting, that was in politics. and you say, oh, well, this is a similar thing. we are -- whether it's his conflicts of interest, you know, the diversifying of his business. the reality stuff. the family and what they're involvement be. we are in a different place than we ever have been before. >> likelihood that we see donald trump and arnold schwarzenegger together on a "celebrity apprentice" before january 20th? >> 100%. >> he's going to -- walking in at the beginning. >> you don't think so! you're in the "no" category. his name's on the credits. >> there's time limits. >> i'm just not willing to rule anything out. >> wow, that's something we've all -- >> when it comes to donald trump, don't rule anything out. katie, chris, john, thanks very much. >>> hillary clinton's popular vote count is approaching a big milestone. we'll tell you about it after the break. impressive linda. it seems age isn't slowing you down. but your immune system weakens

david: ronald reagan listened to people with different opinions. tip enei o'neill, he listened and talked but there were some lines he would draw in the sand he would not step over, one sincere belief you cut tax rates and you get the economy moving again. >> i think that trump has various lines hooley draw as well, but i don't know that we know where the line are yet. throughout the campaign i would have guessed that traded lines were a harder part of his platform, and appointment of peter navarro causes he to think it may be. i hope i am wrong about, that i hope apointed larry kudlow as economic advisor, and thin has an idealogical framework, for when you tax more of something you get less, we'll generate promis profit out of that thinking that would be a more stim lative part of the platplatt -- platform. >> maybe we're looking at this wrong with too many cooks in the kitchen. but maybe there is a wealth of opinions coming in to make it a better stew in the long run. >> i believe that is an astute point. he almost creates chaos. he lives off tha

ronald reagan was not interested in conflict. but the lessons of history show that you have to show a stead fast, strong position which then your potential adversary doesn't want to run the risk. but if your adversary and adversaries, my best example and i'll stop with this -- honestly it wakes me up. here is two american vessels manned by american sailors put on their knees with their hands clasped behind their neck in the most gross violation of international law by the iran n iranians and what does our secretary of state do, he waits until they're returned and thanks the iranians. that picture was everywhere, all over the middle east and doesn't think it has an impact. if these people think we're weak they're going to take advantage of it and i believe that it's time that the united states return to the days of old and our role model, still my role model and hero ronald reagan, who won the cold war without firing a shot in the words of margaret thatcher.

who invoked ronald reagan when she spoke out explaining why the u.s. would abstain from this vote. >> let me begin with a quote. "the united states will not support the use of any additional land for the purpose of settlements during the transitional period. indeed, the immediate adoption of a settlement freeze i israel could create the confidence needed for wider participation in these talks. further settlement activity is in no way necessary for the security of israel and only diminishes the confidence of the arabs that a final outcome can be freely and fairly negotiated." that is the end of the quote. 1982 by set in president ronald reagan. he was speaking about a new proposal that he was wanting to end the israeli-palestinian conflict. while ultimately, president reagan's proposal was not realized, his words are still illuminating in at least two respects. first, because they underscore the united states deep and long-standing commitment to achieving a comprehensive and lasting peace between the israelis and palestinians. that has been a policy of

>> well, with jfk and ronald reagan these were naturally bubbly enthusiastic forward-looking individuals and they didn't write their own speeches, by the way, they had a lot of help. reagan had help and kennedy had help from ted sorensen. i think trump would be well served to get somebody to help him. i think they'll go through the speech. he'll have to go a far piece to get to jfk and reagan standards, the most cited gall addresses of the modern age since franklin roosevelt in 1933 when he said we have nothing to fear but fear itself so he's going to have to go a long way to meet or exceed jrv jfk and reagan. i don't know if he can do it but it will be interesting to see. >> trump also talked about his last phone call with president obama. take a listen. >> he called me, we had a very, very good talk about -- generally about things. he was in hawaii and it was a very, very nice call and i actually thought we covered a lot of territory. >> reporter: are you satisfied with the transition thus far? >> well, our staffs are getting along very well and i'm gettingalong very well with him othe

even ronald reagan, was accused of -- back then it was japan, japan was to u.s. what china is to u.s. now. he ad add -- that japan is parts of the problem this is where government can legitimately be involved and impose a 110% tariff on certain japanese products because he said they were dumping memory chips to u.s. >> overall it was advance of free trade. the historic agreement we reached in mid 80s with canad canada. >> the point is -- back then ronald reagan was called protectist, is this the same thing. >> i think that donald trump is by his speeches, has been much more emphasizing on trade than ronald reagan did. but the question, what did to they do, one thing contributed, are remember 1987 crash in stock market feeling that u.s. congress was running out of control. and would smack a new tariff. david: steve networks good to see you -- tune in, tomorrow at 11 a.m. to fox news channel. lauren: we have update to breaking news, "l.a. times" now reports that star wars actress carrie fisher is in critical condition, after suffering a massive heart attack on a fl

ronald reagan speaking at his first press conference in january of 1981. taking on a tough tone on moscow early in his administration. this morning, i spoke with president-elect donald trump about questions on the meaning of his tweet, on expanding nuclear arms. he said, quote, let it be an arms race because we will outmatch them at every pass and outlast them all. >> jon meacham, there are echoes of 1981 in that statement, aren't there? >> absolutely. and we don't know how it's going to turn out. we were very fortunate in the '80s and into the early '90s with the leadership of reagan and bush, history will tell us about president-elect trump. but, you know, there is a pattern, there is a precedent for strong statements to set the table for successful negotiations. so i think that's what we hope for going forward. >> eddie, final thoughts? >> a dangerous world. i'going to enjoy these holidays and just snuggle up with my mom and my family. >> that's nice. >> happy holidays. final thoughts? >> are your traumatized? >> traumatized, also thinking if tv doesn't

the lessons of history when ronald reagan came to office were made clear, a statement of peace through strength. it was not an accident that the day he was inaugurated, the hostages came home from tehran. the message needs to be sent to vladimir putin his adventurism and aggression and attempt to divide up the ukraine which he is done, his attempt to overthrow the freely elected governments of the baltic states , frankly the media reports, his attempt to assassinate the prime minister of montenegro. vladimir putin is acting with wild abandon. my friends, russia is a gas station masquerading as a country. i want to of been that. a mafia-run gas station masquerading as a country. he's playing his cards in the most adroit and incredibly fashion where he is now a major influence in the middle east which they have not been since and worse and not through them out of egypt and 1973 and there is no doubt what his ambitions are. i would not expected to follow all of these things but recently there was a poll in sweden. 73% of the swedish people believe they ought to consider joining nato becau

quoted ronald reagan in 1982 expressing opposition to settlements. this is not a new u.s. position. the fact of the matter is if we're serious about achieving peace, we need to stand behind the things we believe? >> woodruff: ben rhodes, deputy national security advisor to the president. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> woodruff: we return to president-elect trump's comments about the need to build up the united states' nuclear arsenal. and to john yang for that. >> reporter: are the president- elect's tweets and comments signaling a change in u.s. nuclear weapons policy? and should the nation beef up its nuclear arsenal? we turn to: matthew kroenig, an associate professor at georgetown university who's written extensively about nuclear weapons, and joseph cirincione, the president of the ploughshares fund, a non-profit organization that advocates for disarmament. he, too, has written widely on the subject. gentlemen, thank you both for joining us. mr. cirincione, let me start with you, when you hear or read the president-elect saying that the united states must greatly strengt

this was said in 1982 by president ronald reagan. >> there she is quoting ronald reagan sort of a turn there. what do you think and what message does this send broadly to the world and to israel? >> well, i think it puts a punctuation point in the relationship. this matters, you know we have been talking a lot about russia recently, it is important to note that russia supported this resolution, for everyone to be talking about donald trump and vladimir putin is on the side of condemning that settlement. i think most of the rest of the world had grown used to the united states being someone turning to a blind eye, the u.s. had been the one kind of helped doing the most and trying to broke a peace deal between both sides. right now when president obama is going out of office, he knows this won't hold, donald trump has nominated to israel of the service ambassador and someone who used or considered to be more right wing than benjamin netanyahu who does not view a two-state resolution as in our interest. this is going to continue to play out and have a reversal. just to be clear, this reso
