I love how he is given a hard question and he answers it with truth and honesty. You would struggle to find that now.
Amen... What a president ... No one at this time will raise up to his wisdom.. Not being a perfect man but somebody to admire... These presidents can't even Provide the service at this level... Probably because they're Corrupt... The whole world could see what America stood for in his words.... I would have loved to see him destroy the woke mentality with the wisdom and cunning words that came out of his mouth.... This is my president
indeed! even when he was faced with the Iran Contra affair he didn't do like somebody and claim it was all a hoax.. he owned up to it and answered. Now thats a President.
What an amazing human being. America was truly blessed to have this man elected as president.
American and the free world need another great leader now. The power of being a great orator and understanding of human individual rights through freedom, is an example of the power of the pen and not through oppression, force and government.
When politicians have soul and beliefs.
He hadn't learned about Bush yet,,,,,
15:20 describing why he detests the Soviet Union / communism
Scary part: literal description of America today...
Reagan my hero
That was my time I couldn't speak English but loved to listen to such clear talk as his - to learn of course. Good memories from everything in that country.
That’s so sweet to hear.
Such a great president
I was born the year President Reagan left office. (89) I'm 32 and do the shopping for my family (just me and my parents) and I can tell you in such a short time, I've definitely noticed inflation when it comes to just $20. I'm shocked how little just a seemingly small amount of money gives you as opposed to when I was 10 and my grandparents gave my cousins and I some money at around 10 and I decided to buy a scooter with mine. Hearing what my dad could get with 10 cents and what my great grandpa could get with 1 cent was shocking. But, even now, I see the devastating decline in the American dollar and it sickens me. It isn't right!
We'll never see another president like President Reagan and it gravely sickens me. All I know of him is 2nd hand knowledge and this wonderful channel that can bring him alive for me. I remember his funeral like it was yesterday and standing in my family's living room and giving him the slow salute in my Pathfinder uniform. (Pathfinders is like co-ed Girl's and Boy's scouts for my Christian denomination) I took it seriously because of how my family revered this wonderful man and this wonderful experiment of a country we call the United States of America. And I'm glad I did because he might've just been the greatest president of my generation's century and he deserves every honor we can give, as does our country. My parents raised me to be a patriot and I'm so glad they did.
I wish I could have served however, during my physical to join the Navy, a congenital heart defect was discovered that disqualified me for service. It's since been corrected by 2 minor heart procedures (I have Wolf-Parkinson-White syndrome and the procedures were cardiac ablations. Minimally invasive and easy to recover from. I went on mission trips to Central America after both of them. The first to Honduras 1 month after my first ablation and Guatemala 3 months after my second.) and I still am disappointed I couldn't serve. I was on track to be Religious Personnel in the Navy. But, I male it a point to teach my youth kids the importance of the flag, the Pledge of Allegiance, and our wonderful national anthem and the protocols surrounding it.
Not all Millenials are worthless garbage. The good ones definitely still exist so, I hope that gives some people some comfort.
We'll never see another philosopher president in our lifetime or to come and it hearts my heart. I would have gone and done whatever President Reagan would have asked of me with a happy heart. Unfortunately he left office the year I was born but his legacy is secure and lives on in even the younger generations.
I wish anyone reading this comment the best in their lives and I hope they know there are Patriots in even the younger generations. And I work very hard in youth ministry to keep that national legacy alive.
I eventually reached Master Guide which is the highest rank one can reach in the Pathfinder organization and I wouldn't have gotten where I am without the guidance of my older and wiser superiors. I hope in some small way my generation is able to make the generations before mine proud and secure. I could never want for anything more with my existence on this earth or in this great country.
Teach your children history. The good, the bad, and the ugly. Those who don't learn from it are doomed to repeat it. ❤ All my love from California who wishes we had President Reagan as our Governor once again.😎🤙
President Reagan showed what is possible for a president to be. I'm glad you & others can watch videos like this one, to hear him speak so clearly & eloquently, & listen to his beliefs about how to bring about the best the Country can be. I was about 16 years old when Reagan was elected, & soon after he took office, I noticed changes for the better. The Nation become energized with hope & activity, in a way that would have been impossible with the previous presidential administration. I believe President Reagan is my favorite president. Even today, a similar comparison can be made with the current President & President Carter, who preceded President Reagan. Carter is a good man, but was mainly unsuccessful as President, in my opinion. However, there is an important difference; I don't believe the current President is a good man, in addition to being a poor President.
I didn't love everything about Trump, but he could lead, & seemed to have a good grasp of how to make the economy work, & also recognized the need for strong national security & border security. The current Administration seems to believe that no border security is the best policy.
I believe, because of past experience, that another great President & leader can still emerge; the U.S certainly needs one
I enjoyed reading your heartfelt and personal post.
Yes indeed Mr Reagan was and still is loved and reveard! ! Thank you Ronald Wilson Reagan ❤❤
This was a great comment to read through. I am a Gen Z, and I disown my generation, most zoomers are _actual_ worthless trash with blue hair. But there are some silent ones like myself who you'd never know are America first patriots, love Reagan, love Trump, and oppose communism and radical leftism.
I personally dropped out of highschool because the indoctrination was just too insane, our teacher was an 80s punk rock guy who hated Reagan and spent all day after 2016 going into 2017, constantly telling us about how bad Reagan was and how he screwed up the country and economy permanently, and how evil Trump is and how he's the next Hitler and blah blah. I don't understand how these people get this idea that Reagan "screwed up" the economy. It's like these people just pick and choose what's true and what's false, and don't even base their assertions in reality. I fell for this indoctrination unfortunately, we were made to watch CNN student news and MSNBC everyday and and ALOT during Trump's candidacy run and initial year in office.
I'm an early zoomer, and was born in "99, I can actually say I was born in the 20th century, the best era of America. And back when I was in elementary school and middle school, we did the pledge of allegiance everyday, and learned American history thoroughly, learned about the Roman Empire, Greek mythology, and ALOT.
I don't know what happened, but once I got into highschool, everything just changed drastically, we weren't taught any American history besides WW2, everything since highschool was all about Germany during WW2 and being taught about how Germany was a great country during the Weinmar Republic, and how it was allegedly this "social utopia" where transgenders, gays, all lived in prosperity, and how the "far right" came along and crushed it all and burned a bunch of books and committed genocide against minorities and erased trans history and blah blah. We learned about this literally 3 times, in freshman, sophomore and junior year, and of course probably in senior year too, but I dropped out during my junior year so I can't say for sure. We also were constantly taught about slavery, and would watch movies like roots and other movies that demonized the founding fathers as a bunch of white colonialist slave owners, and watched other movies about white people sailing ships to the coasts of Africa to kidnap blacks and force them to work in the cotton fields of America. The irony is that this wasn't even real. It was Africans selling other Africans not Africans being kidnapped, lol. It makes no sense how teachers were allowed to teach false history like this to us. There was also no pledge of allegiance in highschool. For me, elementary school & middle school was drastically different compared to highschool, it was like going to school in a different country.
The common criticism I hear is that "Reagan made the poor poorer and the rich richer through his tax cuts" and this is based off circumstantial evidence and omission of context. The rich got richer because of deregulation and tax cuts and incentives, which actually helped the entire economy including the poor. People need to study actual economics and not just listen to whatever their leftist boomer professor with earrings tells them.
Thomas Sowell is a great intellectual and economist, and he states the obvious: the rich aren't going around and stealing money from the poor, people voluntarily give their money in exchange for commodities and services they deem worth more than what they're giving. A person isn't being forced to give $500 for a Playstation, they're giving it because they feel the Playstation is worth more than the $500. A person doesn't pay $20 for an uber ride cause they're forced to, they pay for it because they feel the service is worth it and they'd rather be chauffeured instead of walking 15 miles.
It's also important to note that the 3rd wave of globalization started around the end of Carter administration and really ramped up in the early 90s, and it resulted in alot of offshoring and hollowed out the middle class. It's also important to note that the effects of LBJ's great society program didn't really start taking effect until around the 70s, and around the 80s and 90s is when it became really noticeable. That (the effects of the welfare state) coupled with the effects of globalization, is what gives off this convenient illusion that the erosion of the middle class and the wealth inequality was all Reagan's fault.
The left are professionals at misrepresenting things. I've noticed that misrepresentations and omission of context is literally their doctrine of propaganda. Just look at the clever "party switch" myth they've been peddling around for decades that's been thoroughly debunked time and time again, which is largely just a gradual demographic change that occurred that actually began in the 1940s under FDR and took place over the coming decades, that got misrepresented as a "party switch".
Alot of people are really uneducated about this country, it's history, and policy in general. And just pay attention to what they're told to believe by social media academia, mainstream media and politicians, and nothing else. Those 4 things are what makeup most people's political perspective.
30:30 - Love this man!
EPIC! Reagan as honest as any politician has ever been. This is why he was great, and why we still love him. He was my President as a teenager, when we all feared the USSR. He made us believe in our nation again, & in the end, destroyed the Soviet Union.
God Bless to you Mr. Ronald Reagan you will be my American President for all Eternity. The hell to all today's American politicians. I cried back in 2004 when you passed away Mr. Reagan. There will never be another President like you! God bless your soul in Heaven forever Sir Reagan.
Simply amazing
Loved his comment regarding America’s greatness.
He was a great great man of God and a Great Leader. He was president from the year I was born in 1980 until I was 9 years old. LISTEN AND LEARN
