Ronald Reagan is and was the most talented orator I've ever heard. He flows so evenly and with such grace. He could tell you the White House was nuked this morning and everybody wouldn't have one concern after he tells the public,...it will be ok, we will rise above this and overcome this small mountain. Fear not fellow Americans, we will survive. All with that tone that would calm a hurricane on your front lawn. Too bad he is not with us. He wouldn't have any problem being re-elected.
+Yahron Mills Great orator? More like a great teleprompter reader. He gave this bit just like he gave (read) all his political speeches. Fluid and effective, but so contrived. Do you think Reagan ever wrote one speech he gave?

Well, what's left of it has been losing ground for a long time. I'm not sure how much Reagan did for the middle class. I know he helped rich people get richer with those unbalanced tax cuts. Obama raised the top earners tax rates and the economy grew. Another nail in the coffin of Reagan's discredited supply-side economic theory.
+Artie Compoccia My stepfather was a salesman, straight up middle class. Under Reagan we went from a small, modest home in the suburbs to a 10,000 square foot country home with four brand new cars in the driveway. Reaganomics didn't help the middle class? Bullshit. I was there and I lived it.
@@wdd3141No it wasn’t. Our state actually voted for Reagan both times (we didn’t vote for Nixon in 72). Mondale won his home state of Minnesota, DC, and nowhere else.
But the civil war was fought for freeing the slaves. Reagan and trumps death count was from not caring about people. The republicans of today are not the same republicans of the 1800's
The Dean Martin Roasts were more dignified than Comedy Central's. But there were plenty of risqué jokes. They were just delivered in a dignified manner. Dean Martin was a class act. A good man. If you get a chance, Reagan had his turn on the hot seat. That whole roast was hilarious, but Don Rickles just killed it! Had Reagan in stitches!

It was less adversarial, and Hollywood hadn't become a leftist monoculture as it is today, where the only conservatives who dare let anyone know it are the ones like Clint Eastwood who are already established. In this panel, you had Gene Kelly and Orson Welles, who were politically liberal, along with Jimmy Stewart, who was staunchly conservative (and yet a close, lifelong friend to Henry Fonda, another arch-liberal). You don't see that much today, where leftist celebrities routinely nastily express their contempt for anyone not sharing their leftist views.
@BaleOfHay paramilitary death squads in Central America, tax cuts for the rich, costly arms race against the USSR, Iran Contra affair, support of apartheid South Africa, the UNITA in Angola & an economic policy which imploded a few years after he left office causing one of the worst recessions since the Wall street crash - yeah he really was incredible !

Watching this and watching todays roasts, like the roast of Tom Brady makes me realise how far down we fell. It is just beautiful to see that once, long ago, people had class.
Ending the cold war? That was the Soviet union mate,they decided they had enough,they never achieved real communism. Maybe he was the best for the citizens of USA, but he was a catastrophe for the world,speculating, initiating wars, arming terrorists,destroying healthy economies that didnt go with the neoliberal agenda that BTW made millions of Americans poor and starting the stupid war on drugs,which is nothing else then to take control over the drug trade. He was one of the most evil man of his time.
A needed respite. Three minutes of pure joy watching and listening to the man who would become the greatest president. What a brilliant orator. Now back to reality of the cesspool that is today's comedy and mass media.
I enjoy watching this clip over and over. Glimpses of a bygone era. Life was much simpler then. And there was honor amongst most politicians. We won't ever see this again.
I was a young teenager during the Regean era and remember him setting an almost magical and joyful tone in the USA. I'm Canadian who had Grandparents, aunts and uncles with winter homes in Bradenton Florida. Regean was a special man with class and charm and moral fortitude. Good men are the truly great men in history.
I was a teenager throughout his two terms. America loved him, and rightfully so. The economy was great, the Soviet Union was collapsing, and Americans were proud of their country. The Left went to work immediately trying to rewrite history and brainwashing the next generation into believing things were bad. And now we have ignorant sheep preaching the insane ravings of their Marxist professors, cut from the smoldering ruins of that very same failed "empire." Today's "woke" crowd believe history, like gender, is malleable. IDIOTS!
That was a special time. Hard to believe over 40 years ago. You just can't explain it to someone who didn't live thru it. Just a happy wide open decade. I hope to see it again but I'm doubtful. I'm tired of the drudgery from our country.
This is great! I was looking for my own CZcams of my "Lt. Columbo" impersonation when I found Peter Falk and Ronald Reagan on other CZcamss, all relative to "Dean Martin's Celebrity Roasts" of Frank Sinatra...I was truly pleased to see "Columbo," Ronald Reagan, Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra all together for the fun, as I professionally impersonate all of them, like Rich Little, who also was a Roaster...great video, thank you!
For years (seemingly) these people were all part of my growing up, and always seemed to be there, alive & healthy. Now, all of a sudden (seemingly), most of them are dead, and I'm wondering where it all went. I guess I'm next.
He was funny as shit in clever and witty way, and his deliverance was spot on!! He was smart, humble, funny, he could laugh to himself also. Im not saying he was perfect, NO. But he was a good man, good president for the US. When his first term started he was allmost 70y old, cold war was on full swing, Breznev era USSR didnt show any signes of crumbling or anything like that. Then Reagan pretty soon got shot and survived it and publicly forgave his assailant and returned to his president duties fully recovered. He boosted economy in US, 80s was era of plenty, one year after his 2nd term ended DDR collapsed, 3,5 years after USSR collapsed. He probaply did more than any single person did to crush communism in Europe. Gorbatzhev too deserves credit for his politics, he too was a man who tried to make life better for average people in his country, probaply first and only leader with that quality in ussr history. He tried to bring ussr out of dark ages and he was willing to speak and deal with Americans more openly than any of his predecessors. Reagan kickstarted US economy and sorta turned the ship around and fixed Carters mistakes, he somewhat re-established the power of US in foreign policy and he didnt look only what could be done to benefit his country, his legacy lies in ending the cold war and bringing down communism in Europe. Without firing a shot. God bless you Ronald Reagan.

I thought Reagan spoke from the heart, I’m neither democrat or republican but I liked Reagan for the way he spoke to America, he always believed in himself and made you have confidence in him and the country, he is missed.
Very late, I know...but no wonder he was named The Great Communicator. And he was...both in humor and in politics. As a foreigner I'd say Mr. Reagan was one of the best Presidents of The Great US of A.
There are many people who praise Obama for being a down to earth leader. How I wish I could show them all this. I hope and pray one day, we stop being so divided over politics.
When President Reagan joked about someone he did it with class and it always was true. When President Trump does it it's always just mean and not valid.

The one and only. The Gipper.
I thought Reagan spoke from the heart, I’m neither democrat or republican but I liked Reagan for the way he spoke to America, he always believed in himself and made you have confidence in him and the country, he is missed.
Very late, I know...but no wonder he was named The Great Communicator. And he was...both in humor and in politics.
As a foreigner I'd say Mr. Reagan was one of the best Presidents of The Great US of A.
In a separate timeline
Doc Brown : Frank Sinatra, the singer?
Back in the day when parties competed,not destroyed one another
1:52 "...it only hits photographers"
1978, wonderful! Cheers for this video, lovely. Lovely indeed.
There are many people who praise Obama for being a down to earth leader. How I wish I could show them all this.
I hope and pray one day, we stop being so divided over politics.
Obama's skin colour was his ONLY ticket to the presidency!!!
BOTH
I’ve never seen so much talent in one room😦
Is it just me or would Reagan make the all time best Twilight Zone host?
Classy wit and humor. Classy roast! 👍
Back when with was class, not just sttaight up attacking
When President Reagan joked about someone he did it with class and it always was true. When President Trump does it it's always just mean and not valid.
@@andrewchase6748 I really think Reagan would be disappointed with how his party turned out.
@@brremsilverte.9022 I agree.
R.I.P. Ronald Reagan and Frank Sinatra.
Looks like a standing ovation - what other presenter ever got that? (Or deserved it?)
Pure Gold, these roasts were amazing. Best there ever was...
Dean about fell outta his chair laughing so hard at the crawling mate joke
I miss Reagan's sense of humor and class he brought to the US.
I wish I was around those times
President Reagan loved his eloquence. What a wonderful President. Sinatra, Rickles, Dean Martin and the others. What class acts. No swearing, no vulgarity, funny and classy. Take me back
President Ronald Reagan is truly one of a kind❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸
I still miss you people!
