A memoir which melds Frank's professional development and progress in the White House with personal impressions and anecdotes about President Reagan and First Lady Nancy Reagan from 1981 to 1989.

The State Funeral has come to be known as the traditional and ceremonial way to mourn a President of the United States. While throughout the nation's history not every Commander in Chief has opted for such a tribute, in the modern era, it has become common practice. In fact, discussions about a president's preferences as to how they will be honored after their death take place almost as soon as they take office.  Stewart McLaurin, President of the White House Historical Association, sat down with two individuals who had a hand in the planning and performance of these national events: Michael Wagner, the former Chief of National Event Planning for Joint Task Force - National Capital Region, and Retired Major General Galen B. Jackman, former Commander of the Joint Force Headquarters - National Capital Region and U.S. Army Military District of Washington.  Maj. Gen. Jackman became a familiar face as he personally escorted former First Lady Nancy Reagan through the events of President Ronald Reagan's State Funeral. President Reagan's funeral set the standard for what we expect to see today, with ceremonies held at a former president's place of residence, events in Washington, D.C., and then the final burial…all taking place in a span of 7 to 10 days. We were privileged to see that take place again in January 2025 for former President Jimmy Carter, the longest-living president in history.  Those who serve in the JTF-NCR and Military District of Washington help keep the nation's capital safe, honor each presidency from Inauguration to their final passing, as well as perform other ceremonial duties across the country and around the world. This is a rare opportunity to hear the personal stories of two people who served their nation with the utmost professionalism and patriotism.

As part the Engage at the Bush Center series presented by Nexpoint, a panel of former White House Social Secretaries shared insights and behind-the-scenes stories about entertaining at the White House. Moderated by Anita McBride, the panel featured Jeremy Bernard, former White House Social Secretary to President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama; Gahl Hodges Burt, former White House Social Secretary to President Ronald Reagan and First Lady Nancy Reagan; and Amy Zantzinger, former White House Social Secretary to President Bush and Mrs. Laura Bush. Related: A Conversation with White House Social Secretaries

Today on the show we have the remarkable Patti Davis, daughter of U.S. President Ronald Reagan and First Lady Nancy Reagan. Patti's new book, Dear Mom and Dad: A Letter About Family, Memory, and the America We Once Knew is a book, in Patti's own words, about acceptance, forgiveness, and moving on from the past, a book that—though Patti's parents were much more famous than most, even before her father entered politics—anyone can relate to. There's not a person among us who hasn't at one point or another struggled with their parents, as the parent-child relationship is so complicated; this is Patti's story, and it's a powerful one. When her father became president, Patti became Ribbon, her Secret Service code name. The complexities that go along with being the child of a president are daunting, and we talk about that in today's episode, as well as family secrets, living life as the world watched, and what she'd like to say to her father and mother after their deaths in 2004 and 2016, respectively.   Dear Mom and Dad: A Letter About Family, Memory, and the America We Once Knew by Patti Davis The Long Goodbye: Memories of My Father by Patti Davis

Surprise! We've got a double episode for you this week, all thanks to making a decision to flow downstream. In this one, we remember the release of the Apple MacIntosh as well as that time Steve Jobs screwed Steve Wozniak out of a bonus for creating the Atari 2600 classic Breakout. We also dabble in "Just Say No," reminiscing about First Lady Nancy Reagan's battle cry, her appearance on Diff'rent Stokes (as well as the Diff'rent Stokes curse), and the pop culture celebrities and athletes who tried to keep us off drugs while getting high themselves. Plus, we expose head Keebler Elf, E.L. Keebler, who simultaneously urged us to "just say no" while profiting enormously off teenagers with the munchies. All this and a full box of Cheez-Its, a package of Fudge Stripes, and half a package of Vienna Fingers as we watch the King of Late Night, David Letterman, with none other than Tone Loc.

It's September 14th. This day in 1986, President Ronald Reagan and First Lady Nancy Reagan gave a prime-time television address about drugs, drug policy, and crack cocaine. Jody, Niki, and Kellie are joined by journalist Donovan X Ramsey to talk about why both Reagans took part in the address, the media-savvy narratives that emerged in the “Just Say No” era, and the real victims of drug abuse who were left behind. Donovan's new book is When Crack Was King — buy it now, or check out the audio book! Sign up for our newsletter! We'll be sending out links to all the stuff we recommended later this week.

In this episode of 'Department of the Dead,' join our seasoned hosts, Amanda, Thot, and welcome the newest Spooky B*tch, Jess, as they untangle the intricate web of the CIA-Contras-Cocaine scandal that unfolded under the Reagan administration. The hosts delve deeply into the serious allegations that the CIA actively facilitated drug trafficking to finance the Contra rebels in Nicaragua. This Contra-versy also considers the far-reaching effects of this scandal on US foreign policy and domestic politics, offering a nuanced understanding of this historical event. We also examine the roles of key figures such as Oliver North and Ronald Reagan. To add a surprising twist, a scandalous murmuring about First Lady Nancy Reagan comes to light thanks to Jess's Reddit search. Nancy, who famously misunderstood what 'blow in the bathroom' meant, resulted in a charming yet noteworthy anecdote that some circles might find shocking. The episode concludes by delving into various conspiracy theories, illuminating the lingering questions still shrouding this controversy.

Nancy Reagan Had Some Skills Thanks to the power of the internet, former First Lady Nancy Reagan is now a meme. After she was oddly compared to Madonna in terms of what she was doing in her 60s, it has been revealed that Nancy Reagan was a “fellatio champion” during her acting days. As one user on Twitter eloquently put it, “Everything I learned about Nancy Reagan today was against my consent.” --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/hardlyfocused/support

Aaron and Dr. Amy never had First Lady Nancy Reagan visit their house for a one-on-one "very special" conversation about the horrific dangers of drugs BUT we did see it on "Diff'rent Strokes" AND we had our weekly D.A.R.E. sessions to fill us with fear. But how effective was D.A.R.E., anyway? Was it a vital part of the War On Drugs? Or an elaborate and expensive way to distribute pencils and stickers to America's youth?

This week, Paul goes behind the curtain with the author of a new in depth biography of First Lady Nancy Reagan, Washington Post Deputy Editorial Page Editor and political columnist Karen Tumulty. Tumulty makes it clear that Nancy was a very complex woman, not the caricature she was often presented to be. While husband, President […]

Picture this: You're driving home from the casino and you've absolutely cleaned up – to the tune of $50,000.  You see a police car pull up behind you, but you can't figure out why. Not only have you not broken any laws, you're not even speeding. But the police officer doesn't appear to be interested in charging you with a crime. Instead, he takes your gambling winnings, warns you not to say anything to anyone unless you want to be charged as a drug kingpin, then drives off into the sunset.   This actually happened to Tan Nguyen, and his story is far from unique. On this episode on the Resistance Library Podcast Dave and Sam discuss the topic of civil asset forfeiture, a multi-billion dollar piggybank for state, local and federal police departments to fund all sorts of pet projects.   With its origins in the British fight against piracy on the open seas, civil asset forfeiture is nothing new. During Prohibition, police officers often seized goods, cash and equipment from bootleggers in a similar manner to today. However, contemporary civil asset forfeiture begins right where you'd think that it would: The War on Drugs.   In 1986, as First Lady Nancy Reagan encouraged America's youth to “Just Say No,” the Justice Department started the Asset Forfeiture Fund. This sparked a boom in civil asset forfeiture that's now become self-reinforcing, as the criminalization of American life and asset forfeiture have continued to feed each other.   In sum, asset forfeiture creates a motivation to draft more laws by the legislature, while more laws create greater opportunities for seizure by law enforcement. This perverse incentive structure is having devastating consequences: In 2014 alone, law enforcement took more stuff from American citizens than burglars did.   The current state of civil asset forfeiture in the United States is one of almost naked tyranny.

Cutthroat White House Rivalries Didn’t Start with Trump  “The White House is a dignified seat of government, but it is also bullpen, cockfight, and viper nest…. Fight House is a fast read, full of both gossip and deep insight” —Amity Shales, author of Great Society: A New History Washington, D.C.—President Trump’s White House is famously tumultuous, but don’t be fooled—the White House has long been a “fight house.”  Former White House staffer and presidential historian Tevi Troy unveils infamous brawls in Fight House: Rivalries in the White House from Truman to Trump gives readers ringside seats to the dramatic clashes within both Republican and Democratic administrations as their heavyweight personalities went head-to-head. Troy packs a punch as he unfolds the juiciest, nastiest, and most consequential administration rivalries in modern American history. From the presidency of Harry S. Truman—when the modern White House staff took shape—to Donald Trump’s, the White House has always been filled with ambitious people playing for the highest stakes and bearing bitter grudges. Fight House pulls back the curtain on presidents and staffers duking it out over their differences. You’ll read how: ·       The gender and age divide disrupted the “No Drama Obama” administration ·       The revolving door of Trump’s White House staff is not without precedent ·       Kennedy’s “Camelot” was a nest of vipers ·       Dr. Henry Kissinger displaced other national security advisers to gain President Richard Nixon’s ear ·       The contrasting management styles of President Ronald Reagan and First Lady Nancy Reagan led to epic White House staff clashes ·       Lyndon B.

In this episode of the Shaping Opinion Podcast, we’re doing something different. This is our Year in Review episode. 2018: Moments to Remember. We’ll go back and highlight some of the great moments we’ve had so far in our first year. https://traffic.libsyn.com/shapingopinion/2018_Shaping_Opinion_-_Year_in_Review_auphonic.mp3   2018 was a great year for the Shaping Opinion podcast. We were new. We knew what we wanted to do, but we didn’t know what to expect. We started out with the tagline, we talk about people, events and things that have shaped the way we think. And that’s exactly what we did. We’ve produced 45 episodes, including this one. We’ve captured first-person stories of history. Fun stories, interesting stories, and we learned a lot along the way. This podcast is nothing without its guests. So, we would like to thank each and every one of them who graced us with their time, their thoughts and their stories. Here’s what we discussed. We’ve broken this hour into three chapters. We’ve decided to call the First Chapter Memorable Moments. The Second Chapter is called Things You May Not Have Known. And the Third Chapter is all about You and Me. Chapter One. Memorable Moments. Fallingwater Lynda Waggoner In every episode we strive to capture a moment the was so immersive, that you feel like you were there. You can’t expect it to happen every time, but if you want an idea of one of those moments, listen to Fallingwater’s former director give us a closed-eyes tour of Frank Lloyd Wright’s masterpiece home. Sheila Tate on the Day Ronald Reagan was Shot While some moments can be mesmerizing, others can be sobering. Sheila Tate was press secretary for First Lady Nancy Reagan on the day President Reagan was shot.   Flight 93 We had a similar reminder of how precious life is when we talked to Bill Crowley. He was the FBI agent who served as lead crisis communicator on site in Somerset after Flight 93 crashed in a field on September 11th, 20011. We asked Bill where he was when he first heard of the terrorist attacks on the United States. Regis McKenna, Apple's First Marketing Visionary Regis McKenna We’ve talked to people who had a front row seat to history. We also talked to people who helped make history. Regis McKenna is the marketing man Steve Jobs turned to to help let the world know of Apple Computer when Apple was still based in his parents’ garage. Regis tells the story of when he met Jobs and how he knew the company would be successful from the earliest stages. Frances Arnold: The Nobel Prize Another history-maker in California was Frances Arnold. Just this year, the Nobel Prize committee honored Frances with the Nobel Prize for Chemistry because she figured out a way to harness the power of evolution to help solve some of society’s biggest problems. What it took nature to do in millions of years, Frances found a way to accomplish in weeks. She told us her story and more. Andy Masich Sings Some of our best moments have been when guests surprise us. The head of the John Heinz History Center in Pittsburg talked to us about the Battle of Little Bighorn. That’s a topic he knows well. He’s written books about the American West. And when he talked to us, he allowed his childhood exuberance to re-emerge. Chapter Two. Things You May Not Have Known. Scott Fahlman The Man Who Created the Emoticon Did you ever use an emoticon in one of your emails? :-)  Millions of people do this every day, and most have no idea of where it came from. We had the chance to talk to its inventor, Scott Fahlman. He’s a researcher and professor at Carnegie Mellon who focuses on artificial intelligence. Decades ago, in a moment of joking around, he came up with the emoticon, and his little creation started its journey around the world to where it is today. We asked Scott to tell us just how he came up with the Emoticon in the early days of the Internet when only a few college prof...

Harmon did an excellent job of piloting the Presidential Time Portal (tm) to take us back to December of 1983 when two great titans of statesmanship met for the first time - President Ronald Reagan and Rocky III/The A Team star, Mr. T! Yes, this really happened! Mr. T was at the White House playing - believe it or not - Santa and helping out First Lady Nancy Reagan with her Just Say No to Drugs campaign (of course, this was at the same time when the US Government was importing cocaine from South America but we’ll leave that for another podcast). So step into the voting booth and back out again into the world of 1983 with today’s edition of This is the President. Harmon and I will also be discussing some of our predictions for the election and what the outcome could mean for the future of the United States - and the world, the inner workings of the Mr. T doll by Galoob, Rocky III vs. Rocky IV, and, in keeping with the spirit of election day, reading reviews of Trump products on Amazon.

This past week, we lost an American icon and one of the most influential figures of her time – former First Lady Nancy Reagan. Born in New York City, and raised mostly in Chicago, Nancy Davis graduated from Smith College in 1943. As an actress, she appeared in 11 films. And off-screen, she starred in a real-life Hollywood romance with the love of her life, Ronald Reagan, whom she married in 1952. As President, I know just how important it is to have a strong life partner, and President Reagan was as lucky as I am. Nancy Reagan redefined the role of First Lady of the United States. In addition to serving as a trusted advisor to her husband, and an elegant hostess for our nation, she was a passionate advocate for issues that touched the lives of so many. She raised awareness about drug and alcohol abuse. She was a staunch（坚定的） supporter of America&`&s veterans（老兵）. And after her own battle with breast cancer and a mastectomy（乳房切除术）, she spoke in personal terms about the need for women to get mammograms（乳房X光摄影检查）. The American people were deeply moved by the love Nancy felt for her husband. And we were inspired by how, in their long goodbye, Nancy became a voice on behalf of millions of families experiencing the depleting（耗尽的）, aching（疼痛的） reality of Alzheimer&`&s disease（阿尔茨海默病，又名老年痴呆症）. She brought her characteristic intelligence and focus to the twin causes of stem cell research and Alzheimer’s research. And when I signed an order to resume federal stem cell research, I was proud that she was one of the first phone calls I made. Nobody understood better than Nancy Reagan the importance of pursuing treatments that hold the potential and the promise to improve and save lives. That’s why, last year, my administration announced the Precision Medicine Initiative（精准医疗计划） to advance our ability to tailor（调整） health care and treat diseases like cancer and Alzheimer’s by accounting for individual differences in people’s genes, environments, and lifestyles. Last month, we took new actions to foster more collaboration between researchers, doctors, patients, data systems, and beyond to accelerate precision medicine. And more than 40 organizations stepped up with new commitments in this cutting-edge（前沿的） field. We’ve also launched the BRAIN initiative to revolutionize our understanding of how the human brain works. Thanks to the tireless efforts of people like Nancy Reagan, I’ve never been more optimistic that we are getting closer to the day when every single patient can get the care they need and deserve. I’ve never been more optimistic that we will one day find a cure for devastating（毁灭性的，令人震惊的） diseases like Alzheimer’s. And I can think of no better way to honor our former First Lady’s legacy than by working together, as one nation, toward that goal. Thanks, everybody.

Sometimes, the greatest lessons in life are a direct result of the adversities we face. In today's episode I speak to a businessman who recently released memoir of lessons learned to help the next generation of leaders called *"A nose for trouble."* In his book he reveals he has, amongst other things:- * Seen firsthand the events that led to the *largest bankruptcy filing in US history* * *The ex-chair of Sotheby's sent to prison*. * escaped a *riot in Vietnam* * Faced *death threats in NYC, AND;* * M *eet with First Lady Nancy Reagan on the day her husband was shot* , Michael Ainslie is the former president and CEO of Sotheby's, the former president and CEO of the National Trust for Historic Prevention, and a former director of Lehman Brothers. He was also the founding chairman of the Posse Foundation, serving in that role for 13 years and continuing today as an active board member and mentor to scores of Posse scholars and alums. Posse has sent over 9,200 young urban leaders in 10-person cohorts (posses) to elite universities on full-tuition leadership scholarships. 90% of Posse scholars graduate, and they are taking on leadership roles in the workplace.

Mike talks with Sheila Tate, who served as press secretary to First Lady Nancy Reagan from 1981 to 1985. After leaving the White House staff, she co-founded the Washington D.C. public relations firm Powell Tate. She served as press secretary to George H. W. Bush during his successful campaign for the presidency in 1988, as well as for his transition. Sheila remained in close touch with Nancy Reagan after the Reagans returned to California, speaking with her often until Mrs. Reagan's passing in 2016. Ms. Tate is the author of the recently released book '[The Lady in Red: An Intimate Portrait of Nancy Reagan](https://amzn.to/2Ho2yCE)'.  Mike and Sheila discuss what First Ladies do, what Nancy Reagan was like, the role she played in the Reagan presidency, the 'Just Say No' anti-drug campaign, her 'Dragon Lady' reputation, what people most commonly get wrong about Nancy Reagan, and lots more. **Listener support helps make The Politics Guys possible.** If you're interested in supporting the show, go to [politicsguys.com/support](http://www.politicsguys.com/support).
