Reagan used to travel the world while he was in office. And, you know, mrs. Reagan has been so devoted to this president ial library as a way of safeguarding her husbands legacy.

With us is 60 minutes correspondent lesley stahl who covered the Reagan White House. Good morning. Good morning. Peggy, how much influence did chef . Oh, she had plenty of influence. 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. She made sure he had time to think, time to do what he had to do and 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. You know she ragged away at him. You know that. No. I mean in an irritating way and knew nod to the that but when she had a bee on her bonnet, did she stay on the subject . Yes, she did. She wrote in owner biography for eight years i slept with the president and if that doesnt give you special access, i dont know what does. That is exactly it such a great line. 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. I dont mean for their influence but their ability to help hold the country together. President s dont trust anybody except their wives. They are the people they go home to and bad things around. Honestly, she was very powerful and not just in who she helped him select and in terms of the staff, but in terms of policy. But he clearly relied on her too. That clip was very telling when she says we are doing the best we can and then he repeats, we are doing he really relied on her more as the presidency went on and he began to falter a little bit. But he could not hear and there were times when she literally was the interpreter of the world in his ear. Im struck but how she wanted to make sure the right people were next to him. Yes. If she didnt think someone around him was protecting his image, protecting protecting him as well, then she found a way to get them off the scene. If she thought a chief of staff was no longer useful . Gone. He made a mistake. I think he hung up a phone on her when she was talking to him and that was sort of that was the end of it. That was the end. Goodbye. She also felt he wasnt that he wasnt propping Ronald Reagan up in the way she thought he should have been. He was trying to take too much power for himself and letting it be known. There were some ego clashes too much. The iran controversy. The great luke cannon, the great biographer to ronald page, next to peggy noonan and nancy pushed him to apologize. Once he finally listened to her, he was not eager to do in the beginning. His numbers went up. His numbers bounced right back up. She had a better sense, i hate to say public rerelations. She had a better sense this wasnt working, we have to do this and i think he did and 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 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 and never judgmental. It was part of the history of humans. You know she loved gossip. She loved seeing who is seeing on who and who looks great and what did he do . I would save unfortunate stories for her and half the time she would say that is fabulous but the other half, he would go, i know that. You saw a funny side to her . I did. I only saw the image when i started covering the white house. They went on their first european trip and peggy was a very influential speech writer at that time writing for him. It was a triumph. It was a triumph. On the flight home, i was in the pool and we were invited back from an offtherecord sip of champagne and i saw a raucous side of nancy reagan i never dreamed was in there. Funny, hilarious. 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 very much. The public never saw it. Good to see you. Great to have both of you here. Thank you. Former secretary of state colin powell will be with us in our next hour as we remember nancy reagan.

The bunch of washington dealmakers try to step in a brokered convention and steal the nomination . I think we will have a manifest uprising. Reporter trump defended himself as a unifier and stronger opponent for Hillary Clinton and again sought to clarify his position on hate groups like the ku klux klan. I dont like any group of hate. Hate groups are not for me. But ive said this before. Reporter trump also argued for changing the law to allow for the use of extreme measures to interrogate terror suspects.
