Christopher John "Chris" Matthews (born December 17, 1945) is an American political commentator and news anchor known for his nightly hour-long talk show, Hardball with Chris Matthews. Matthews served on the staffs of four Democratic members of Congress, including Senator Edmund Muskie. Matthews was a presidential speechwriter during the Carter administration and later worked for six years as chief of staff to longtime Speaker of the House of Representatives Tip O'Neill. In 1997 and 1998, his research in the National Archives produced a series of exclusives on the Nixon presidential tapes. His bestselling books also include Jack Kennedy and Kennedy & Nixon . His book, Tip and The Gipper: When Politics Worked. It chronicles the rivalry between the Democratic speaker of the House and the conservative U.S. president. In 2013, Derived from a Kirkus review: O'Neill, as anyone who remembers him will recall, was a blustering, tough Bostonian who came up through the ranks of Congress, a consummate political insider; Reagan, by contrast, liked to portray himself as somehow innocent of the machine. Yet Reagan also knew a number of things that kept his popularity reasonably high during his terms-for one, that Americans like to feel good about themselves, which he played to the hilt. In trying to push through one set of proposals that involved an increase on some taxpayers, Reagan faced a revolt in his own party and required O'Neill's help in enlisting sufficient Democratic votes to "sell the public a budget with so large a deficit." This accommodation spoke to what Matthews regards as a bygone bipartisan spirit that, as he notes, was like gladiatorial combat in that it made each opponent seem stronger and better in the contest simply for each to be up against the other. …

A exploration of the time period 1980 to 1986, when two great political opponents--President Ronald Reagan and Speaker of the House Tip O'Neill--served together for the benefit of the country. From Wikipedia: "Christopher John "Chris" Matthews (born December 17, 1945) is an American political commentator and news anchor known for his nightly hour-long talk show, Hardball with Chris Matthews, which is televised on the American cable television channel MSNBC. From 2002 to 2013, he hosted a syndicated NBC News produced panel discussion program on weekends titled The Chris Matthews Show. Matthews appears on other NBC and MSNBC programs. Matthews was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the son of Mary Teresa (nee Shields) and Herb Matthews, a court reporter. His father was a Protestant of English and Scotch-Irish ancestry, and his mother was from an Irish Catholic family; Matthews is himself a Roman Catholic. He attended La Salle College High School. He is a 1967 graduate of the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts, and did graduate work in economics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He was also a visiting fellow at Harvard University's Institute of Politics. Matthews served in the United States Peace Corps in Swaziland from 1968 to 1970 as a trade development adviser. He holds 28 honorary degrees from numerous universities and colleges, including from Washington University, Howard University, College of Holy Cross, Fordham University, [12] Villanova University and Temple University. When Matthews first arrived in Washington, D.C., he worked as a police officer with the United States Capitol Police. Subsequently, he served on the staffs of four Democratic members of Congress, including Senators Frank Moss and Edmund Muskie. In 1974, he mounted an unsuccessful campaign for Pennsylvania's 4th congressional district seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in which he received about 24% of the vote in the primary. Matthews was a presidential speechwriter during the Carter administration and later worked for six years as chief of staff to longtime Speaker of the House of Representatives Tip O'Neill, playing a direct role in many key political battles with the Reagan administration. In 2004, at the Democratic National Convention, Matthews rightly predicted that he'd "just seen the first black president." Matthews worked in print media for 15 years, spending 13 years as Washington, D.C. bureau chief for the San Francisco Examiner (1987 2000) and two years as a nationally syndicated columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle. Matthews covered the fall of the Berlin Wall, the first all-races election in South Africa, and the Good Friday Peace Talks in Northern Ireland. In 1997 and 1998, his research in the National Archives produced a series of exclusives on the Nixon presidential tapes. Matthews has covered American presidential election campaigns since 1988. In 1997, Matthews began his own talk show, Hardball with Chris Matthews, which originally aired on CNBC but is currently on MSNBC. Hardball features pundits and elected officials as guests. In 2002, The Chris Matthews Show began airing in syndication. The show is formatted as a political roundtable consisting of four journalists and Matthews, who serves as the moderator. He is estimated to earn more than $5 million a year. He also wrote a book called Hardball. His bestselling books also include Jack Kennedy: Elusive Hero, Kennedy & Nixon, Now, Let Me Tell You What I Really Think, American: Beyond Our Grandest Notion. His new book, Tip and The Gipper: When Politics Worked is published by Simon and Schuster. It chronicles the rivalry between the Democratic speaker of the House and the conservative U.S. president. In 2013, Matthews a.…

His book, Tip and The Gipper: When Politics Worked chronicles the rivalry between the Democratic speaker of the House and the conservative U.S. president. A exploration of the time period 1980 to 1986, when two great political opponents--President Ronald Reagan and Speaker of the House Tip O'Neill--served together for the benefit of the country. Tip and the Gipper is a magnificent personal history of a time when two great political opponents served together for the benefit of the country. Chris Matthews was an eyewitness to this story as a top aide to Speaker of the House Tip O Neill, who waged a principled war of political ideals with President Reagan from 1980 to 1986. Together, the two men forged compromises that shaped America's future and became one of history's most celebrated political pairings, the epitome of how ideological opposites can get things done. When Ronald Reagan was elected to the presidency in a landslide victory over Jimmy Carter (for whom Matthews had worked as a speechwriter), Speaker O Neill realized Americans had voted for a change. For the first time in his career, O'Neill also found himself thrust into the national spotlight as the highest-ranking leader of the Democratic Party, the most visible and respected challenger to President Reagan's agenda of shrinking the government and lowering taxes. At first, O'Neill doubted his ability to compete on the public stage with the charming Hollywood actor, whose polished speeches played well on TV, a medium O'Neill had never mastered. Over time, the burly Irishman learned how to fight the popular president on his key issues, relying on legislative craftiness, strong rhetoric, and even guerrilla theater. An old dog can learn new tricks, Tip told his staff. Of O'Neill, one of his colleagues said, If Martians came into the House chamber, they'd know instantly who the leader was. Meanwhile, President Reagan proved to be a much more effective and savvy leader than his rivals had ever expected, achieving major legislative victories on taxes and the federal budget. Reagan and his allies knew how to work the levers of power in Washington. After showing remarkable personal fortitude in the wake of the assassination attempt against him, Reagan never let his political differences with Democrats become personal. He was fond of the veteran Speaker's motto that political battles ended at 6 p.m. So when he would phone O'Neill, he would say, Hello, Tip, is it after six o'clock? Together, the two leaders fought over the major issues of the day, welfare, taxes, covert military operations, a.…
