    Lee Iacocca should have been drafted has president of the USA this very year, what a shame it never happened. He was what this country needed, a true statesman. RIP Lee

      We already had a businessman in the WH and look at how the swamp worked him over?

      Yes, Sir!
      His statements and ideas still are useful and important.

      He didn’t get worked over. Iacocca was a self made man. The other guy you’re referring to was born with a silver spoon in hand, declared bankruptcy several times, and has taken advantage of the system at the expense of the common people.

    Always admired his ability to speak his mind and explain things simply.

    I read his biography and was inspired. Thanks for posting this video.

    “That bill has to be paid some day.” Have we forgotten that? Only the bill is now 20x what it was then.

    I love Mr. Iacocca! I saw him speak in person in the mid 1980's. He moved me, and still does. He says it like it is and more people need to do the same. Stop pulling punches America! Stand up, speak your mind for what's right for our country. Ban together. Your color, your religion, etc., doesn't matter! UNITE and be strong.

    Looks like we’re still floating that bill to the next generation except now it’s 30 times higher

    Well Mr. Iacocca- instead of addressing trade imbalance, we not only battle Japan in the marketplace- you can add China too. These two countries figured out a new way to 'bomb' us; and worse- we are helping them. The more things change... the more they stay the same.

    OTHER than the Ford Pinto being a deathtrap. Iacocca was a MAN's MAN. He did switch to Chrysler, but worked for Ford before that.

    Great speech with an odd upshot-- this is how we got Trump tariffs. Perhaps Jeffrey Epstein was in the audience!

    Back when you couldn't just get into that school by having a "B+" average in high-school and brown skin.

      Agreed...and a mediocre white man could buy a house with no down.
