main story tonight concerns presidential
libraries. Voted number one nice little
activity by retired dad's quarterly.
Presidential libraries are incredible
repositories of documents, artifacts,
and occasionally displays like this one
at the Reagan Library. Really laying out
that man's priorities.
>> You might know that President Reagan
once said, "There is nothing as good for
the inside of a man as the outside of a
horse."
Well, the exhibit about Rancho Deliello,
the ranch in the sky, describes his
feelings about his beloved ranch. Reagan
once said, "You look at the beauty of
it, and God really did shed his grace on
America." And there's a gallery about
his sidekick, as he called her, Mrs.
Reagan.
>> Yeah. Apparently, it goes horse then
wife the way God intended. And look, my
my position on horses is clear, I think.
But Reagan's quote, "There is nothing as
good for the inside of a man as the
outside of a horse," might be the
dirtiest thing I have ever heard. He
should have been put on a watch list. He
should have been banned from petting
zoos and merrygo rounds. I sincerely
hope they don't have horses in hell
because they are not safe.
But a weird horse exhibit is actually
part for the course. Presidential
libraries often have eye-catching
artifacts displayed throughout. From
Gerald Ford's letter, pardoning Nixon,
to the microphone FDR used for his
fireside chats, and some even host
exhibits that have nothing to do with
American history, or indeed the
president themselves, like this one.
Come experience extreme bugs at the
Clinton Presidential Center, where
spiders and ladybugs are as big as cars.
Be transported into a new world that
puts you up close and personal with big,
larger than life bugs, all in their
natural habitat. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Hold up. In their natural habitat. Look,
I'm no insect expert, despite looking
like I spent my high school years
collecting bugs instead of friends. But
I'm pretty sure giant spiders natural
habitat is not a museum dedicated to
Bill Clinton. It is, as we all know, any
New York restaurant with a C from the
Department of Health. Still, as you've
undoubtedly noticed, the subject of
presidential libraries has been in the
news a lot lately, primarily because of
a flurry of donations to Trump's.
Tonight, a $16 million settlement.
Paramount, the parent company of CBS,
announcing it will pay President Trump's
legal fees and give money to his future
presidential library.
>> President Trump has signed an agreement
with Meta to settle a lawsuit that he
filed against the company and its CEO.
According to a spokesperson, the
settlement terms are $25 million with 22
million of it going toward Trump's
future presidential library. in the
settlement. ABC agreeing to donate $15
million to Trump's presidential library.
>> Right. Trump's presidential library
foundation seems to be the preferred
vehicle for what I'm apparently legally
not allowed to call shakedowns or
extortion attempts. So, I won't. It's
actually one of many things I'm not
allowed to say. Like that the Chipotle
guac secret ingredient is froges. That's
why it costs so much. Or that I
personally believe dozens of men have
died on the set of Mission Impossible
movies. There is just no way Tom Cruz is
the first person attempting those
stunts. And you know the Scientology is
covering it up. If they can hide Shelley
Muscavage for 18 years, they can
definitely bury a few handfuls of stunt
men. No problem. Anyway, all of those
things are things that I am not allowed
to say. So, let's all agree that I
didn't. But the thing is, as is so often
the case, Trump is merely laying bare a
system that's actually been problematic
all along. Because while presidential
libraries enjoy the reputation of being
esteemed guardians of history, the truth
is they've always been both a little
more and a little less than that. So
given that tonight, let's talk about
presidential libraries, what they
actually are, who's in charge of them,
and why Trump may be about to
supercharge the problems that they can
cause. And let's start with the fact
that the very term library is a bit of a
misnomer. In fact, here is Harry Truman
a few years after his opened, setting
the record straight. This uh library is
not a library. It's an archives building
with the idea of keeping the records of
the government in uh an orderly manner.
The objective is to obtain microfilm uh
reports on all the presidential papers.
It'll take a little while to get that
done, but when we do get it done, this
place will be the center of the study of
the presidency of the United States.
Yeah, that is basically it. And by the
way, do you remember when presidents
were boring?
It almost feels strange to watch a clip
of one without the fear he's going to
throw in a slur or argue that Joy Behar
should be imprisoned. Back then,
presidents kept their racism and sexism
away from the cameras and just put them
in their policies. It was a simpler
time. But like Truman just said,
presidential libraries aren't libraries
in the traditional sense in that you can
come and check books out. They're
actually two things fused together.
archives containing the official records
from a presidency for researchers and
scholars and a museum showcasing that
presidency for various visiting dads and
board school kids who already went to
the planetarium last year. The first
presidential library was established by
FDR, who wanted a place to house the
presidential papers and gifts
accumulated during his administration.
Before then, when a president's term
ended, he'd leave the White House with
all his records, many of which ended up
destroyed. George Washington's were
apparently extensively mutilated by
rats. Most of William Henry Harrison
succumbed to flames when his log cabin
burned down. And Chester Arthur's son
