This was the ronald and nancy reagan were not only a great love affair and a great marriage, they were a great partnership. She looked out for him. Made sure he had time to think, time to do what he had to do. Made sure people didnt take advantage of him. She also was someone who bluntly told her husband her views. She didnt try to be, you know, ragging away at him, but boy on big things she told him what she thought. She did rag away at him, you know that. I mean in a irritating way. She knew not to do that. When she had a bee on her bonnet, did she stay on the subject, why, yes she did. Leslie, she wrote in her biography, my turn, for eight years i was sleeping with the president , if that doesnt give you special access, i dont know what does. Thats exactly it. Such a great line. But talk about the access and how she used it. She in the second term had a great deal of influence on foreign policy. You know something, first ladies generally are not appreciated and celebrated for their i dont mean influence, i mean their ability to help hold the country together. President s dont ever trust anybody except their wives. They are the people they go home to and bat things around, honestly. She was very powerful and not just in who she helped him select and in terms of staff, but in terms of policy. But he clearly relied on her, too. That clip was very telling when she says, were doing the best we can and he repeats were doing he really relied on her. Well, more as the presidency went on and he began to falter a little bit, but she pushed on issues. He could not hear and there were times when she literally was the interpret ter of the world in his ear. Im struck by how she wanted to make sure that the right people were next to him. Absolutely. They was the consigliere. If she didnt think someone around him was protecting his image, protecting him as well, then she found a way she chief of staff no longer was useful gone. Gone. He made a mistake. I think he hung up the phone on her when she was talking to him and that was sort of that was the end of that. That was the end. Goodbye.

A lot had to do with iran. How influential was nancy reagan in terms of encouraging the president to go out and apologize . She did. Luke cannon writes an article the great luke cannon, next to peggy nunen. And he said that nancy pushed Ronald Reagan to go publicly and apologize. And once he finally listened to her, which he was not eager to do in the beginning his numbers went up. His numbers bounced right back. She had a better sense of i hate to say Public Relations but Public Relations. She had a better sense of, look, this isnt working. Weve got to do this than i think he did. She covered that plank for him. You both really knew her. Peggy, if youll start us with this. Can you tell us something about her that we didnt know that you feel comfortable sharing . Yeah. I saw a great deal of her in the past ten years. I got in the habit of she was a very active member of the Reagan Foundation and Reagan Library boards. So when we would go out there for a board meeting, i i would see her and i got used to going to her house and talking with her and this was she was so much fun. She was witty and amusing, rather sly in her observations. She was like a girl, girl. She loved gossip. Nancy reagan gossiped . We all love gossip, peggy. It was never unkind. It was part of the history of humans. She loved gossip. Who is seeing who . Who looks great. Oh my god, what did he do . I would save up stories for her and share. Half the time she would say thats fabulous. The other she would go, i know that. I saw the image when i started covering the white house. They went on their first european trip, peg dpi was a very influential speech writer at that time writing for him and it was a triumph. On the flight home, i was in the pool, and we were invited back for an off the record sip of champagne. And i saw a rockus side of nancy reagan i never dreamed was in there. Funny, hi lair rouse, no holds barred. She was the one making the toast. I then went to try and interview her, i said to her press secretary, we have to show the public this loose, fun, nancy reagan. And they agreed. Gave me an interview. The minute the camera went on, up went the mask. Thank you so much. The public never saw it. Great to see you. Thank you.
