I remember the day his coffin was brought back to DC for the last time. My friend and I were playing outside when my father (who died a few months later himself) told us to come inside and watch the news. He said "I want you kids to always remember this moment in history" and I still remember every detail to this day.
my condolances
We need President Reagan now, more than ever. BPE!
@@garyanddarlenesbeachcondo1619 what does bpe mean
My younger brother was born on the same year he became the president but to me he is still young. I can't believe it was 42 years ago and also its been almost 20 years since he died. Time flies so fast.
Rest in peace and condolences to your brother. I was born in 1994 and I do not know what occured in the 1980s, or even the 1990s. My first memories that I truly remember are from 2000 onwards.
i dont think their brother died, 20 years ago was just when raegan died
Can you edit your comment so it can make more sense to people. It won’t be confusing
However if your brother actually died I send condolences to your family.
I was born 4 months after his death.
crazy how that was almost 20 years ago.
He was born on my father's birthday and died on my birthday. What a dubious honour!
You mean a great honor.
@@robschannel4512 What is a 'great honor' is the fact that Reagan acted in the film "King's Row" with Ann Sheridan. He should have stuck with acting.
Stop it Ron Reagan is playing handball with the devil
What were you doing during history class. Rather who were you doing? The man was a great president. We would be a bunch of broke puppets of the Soviet Union if we had continued down the path we were headed.
Nobody cares
hope Jimmy Carter lives to see his 99th birthday in October, supposedly doing quite well despite being in end of life care
Or Jimmy Carter could also become the first president to live to the age of 100
He did!
Jimmy Carter might live to be 100 years old
@@danhobson24 maybe. He might be holding on to hopefully make 100 since he's been in hospice/end of life care for over a year now
On 6/11/24, President James Earl Carter Junior is STILL ALIVE at 99 years old and counting.
Reagan along with Congress ended the Mental Health Services Act of 1980. He ended Roosevelt era regulations that kept Wall Street in check for 50 years. His policies are still affecting us negatively today.
yes his policies to the mentally disabled and deregulating the stock market has now turned the stoc market almost into a criminal organization. The reasons why countries like Denmark, Norway have a STRONG middle class is due to its unions. He fired the ATC controlers. I met the daughter of one of them. He left usa and likely gave up his American residency "revoked his citizenship" and became a Canadian and continued as a ATC controler in Canada.
The man ruined this country after three decades of post-war prosperity, and everything he did still damages this country today--economically, politically, and socially.
TH-cam is deleting my comments too.
The same mental health system that lobotomized people for non-mental illnesses, and later forced them on tranquilizers whether they needed them or not. The same system that confined kids for not being who or what their parents wanted them to be automatically declared the LGBTQ community to be mental defectives.
He couldn’t please your ilk if he had been JFK. This was a great man.
“If we ever forget that we're one nation under God, then we will be one nation gone under.”
Late Ronald Reagan died in June, 2004 (close to 2 decades back). He succumbed to pneumonia, although for yrs. he'd been battling Alzheimer's Disease. He also survived early-Spring, 1981 assassination attempt (nearly quarter-century prior)
Yeah, we watched the video and are well aware of history. Thanks?
Disgusting comment.
he was a bell end
He passed away the day after my high school graduation. Hard to believe that it is almost 20 years!
Hard to believe that he's been gone for almost 20 years ❤️
And what a fantastic 20 years it has been.
Yeah, fantastic.. The Iraq war, the intervention in Lybia, Syrain civil war, rise of Iran, rise of China and war in Ukraine. One deep recession, one pandemic, followed by more almost recession.
In my entire lifetime as an adult, I can't think of s single western leader who deserved praise for the job they did in office.
He was out of office for 15 years at the time he died. For 15 years he received a government pension, government health insurance and government security. And of this continued until his wife's death. Neither one of them believed the government should help the middle class, but they made sure to benefit from the government until their last breath.
What's good is we don't have to pay for his pension, he and his wife's health insurance and secret service protection.
I just finished 1st grade when he passed away. Boy do I miss these times!
To think in June it'll have been 20 years since his death, I was only 7 but I'm sure my grandparents and parents remember that day.
Same, I turned 8 in July in 2004. First president I remember dying and was powerful.
The death of the middle class began with Reagan.
I'd go more with Nixon, his stagflation policies, and opening more with communist countries to make stuff there instead of the U.S.
@@MoonlightXYZ he's not the one that gave the huge tax cuts to the very rich
@@LinasMuliolisC21Homestar Reagan actually jumped his taxes around, people forget that. Unlike today where everyone gets taxed like they are a leprechaun with endless supply of gold, that even includes the poor and middle class.
He cut taxes for the wealthy and payed for it by taxing Social Security benefits of retirees.
Death of middle class start after economy meltdown
Reagan is rolling in his grave with what is happening in American politics.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I hope he’s rotting
@@DannyCosmos me too lol
Reagan was not a saint but compared to the politicians we have now they would make him look like one
@@DannyCosmosbruh what did Ronald regan do
Iran contra affair
By far the most charismatic president to ever reside that house within any of our lifetimes and an inspiration to what humor can do in depravation. Although I don’t agree with some of his policies(rageanomics or contras) I do believe him a model most that hold that office should be, it’s unfortunate that for the past 7 that doesn’t quite exist.
Well he didn’t handle the AIDS epidemic right and he brought drugs to the USA
Bruh called black people monkeys
obama much better
What? Clinton, Obama? Nope.
an inspiration to how easily people can be manipulated into voting for what they dont understand
Hard real hard to believe it's been 20 years. HOLY CRAP.
i play this while looking in the mirror as a form of self-affirmation
you're doing tricks on it 🚲🍆
get out more
I remember as a kid my mom was crying and watching his funeral on TV. I didn't understand anything about politics at the time. Rest in peace.
Still waiting on my trickle down
If you haven't earned it by now, it's your own fault
@@donkraemer50lmao let’s just give up the act and admit we scammed them now
@@donkraemer50 blaaaa bwooowowo ggagagaga neeeeeeeeeee wahhhhhhh wahhhhhhhhhhh big baby boy
Anyone who failed to realize their "trickle down" economic boost can blame their Marxist Democrat "Big Government" State and local officials who have been in charge continuously for at least the past 60 years. Fed taxes were cut under Reagan, but he had NO control over the "tax to death and spend to death"Democrat "Big Government" policies of leftist States and urban areas.
I come back here every now and again when I’m feeling sad and it instantly cheers me up.
Actually pure evil
What is wrong with you
I see the left continue to be as classy as ever.
@@DeKevers Ronald Reagan made millions suffer so…
@@rad4924*classless
Reagan's tax cuts did not help the middle class. He put a tax on social security income. Prior to 1984 your gross income from Social security was not taxed, "Well" Reagan was the one who changed that.
And ig it was ok with both parties as no one has yet to repeal it
@@TH-camMilestonesOfficial Repeal what? Social Security? You must be insane to even suggest that!
@@robertpolanco1973 no, the tax on social security income, learn to read
Context: Social Security was expected to default in 1983, because the Cost of Living adjustments were tied to inflation while in-payments were tied to wages. As real wages declined and inflation increased during the 70s and early 80s Social Security was on the brink of collapse. The BI-Partisan Social Security Amendments of 1983 accelerated payroll tax increases, increased employment, increased the retirement age and yes made 50% of benefits taxable income. After these BIPARTISAn reforms Social Security not only survived but created large surpluses. Congress+Reagan saved it!
I was in NJ visting my DAD he was not well. Dad pass away year later.
If Gipp and Gorby had not met nothing would've happened. It was a combination of things brought forth by both sides. Many years later Gorby expressed his admiration for Reagan. RIP to both now.
I really enjoyed watching old footage. Please release more maybe possibly regularly..
I remember when he passed away, my father was so upset. His first vote for president was Reagan.
That was a mistake.
I remember when Reagan died, I told my dad and he replied... "F_ _K HIM!" 😂
@@StalinTheMan0fSteel i guess he didn't have good taste.
@@MoonlightXYZ He just hated Republicans. I'm a staunch Republican, it used to drive my dad crazy. 🙂
@@StalinTheMan0fSteel While im republican like my dad; he is a Trump no matter what republican. He wasn't excited when i put a DeSantis sign in the yard.

he was a war criminal and pile of crap. too bad he only died once.
@@DannyCosmoscope harder lmao
Ronald Reagan was the right man at the right time.
And he is the one who put us into the position we are in today with the 1% taking everything and not paying their share. Reganomics was the worst thing for the US.
Not at all true. I’m part of the 1% and we pay tons of taxes and employ thousands of people.
@@joshua9073how much do you make?
Define their share? They create business and jobs and pay tons of taxes.
@@joshua9073that’s right
@@ThatColinmy base is $442,600 for working for my family’s software company. The company is worth $18 billion. My family contracted with the Obama administration when his government needed to create the healthcare marketplace. That was ours. I was a kid. It’s the site that crashed for the first few days. But it’s still ours and the government pays a monthly / annual fee to my family’s business and we keep it running obviously.
I remember watching the inauguration in my government class when I was a senior in high school. To me, the equally big story was the end of the Iranian Hostage Crisis.
That was in January, 1981
There was a reason for that.
Reagan made a deal with the Iranians when he was running for president. If they didn't release the hostages he would sell them arms if he was elected.
@@user-qv3wb2gy1fYour point being?
U.S. hostage crisis in Iran 🇮🇷 lasted from November, 1979 till January, 1981
@@user-qv3wb2gy1f which was when Reagan was inaugurated… so your point is?
RIP Mr. Reagan if only you were here now to sort out the mess the world is in.
No, it’s his mess, you can trace almost every modern political issue to his presidency.
@@aaronstark1969agreed
The mess he caused
A small portion of the mess was caused by him unfortunately
Too bad he only did it once
Good on him for reducing taxes and government spending. All governments should aspire to this goal.
Ronald Reagan has long been one of my heroes. He did a lot during his presidency, but it wasn't his politics that have led me to admire him. Reagan is one of my heroes because of all that he accomplished during his life. He started out being a popular and successful actor; he then became President of the Screen Actors Guild, then Governor of California, then two (2) terms as President of the United States. In my mind, that's one HELL of a life that few people could ever hope to match. I have tremendous respect for Ronald Reagan.
God bless each and every President of our United States of America. Each has left a lasting memory of dedication and service to our country. Mrs.Nancy.Regan's love for our President set a standard of love and Godly devotion hard to find these days. Mrs.Nancy.Regan tirelessly fought the war on drugs. I would be so sad if she knew the epidemic we have in America 2023. I have missed all the Presidents that have passed in my life time. The incredible weight it beats to hold on the the freedoms of our country. God is watching these fearless leaders.
Thank you for serving our country.
all war criminals
I was 13 years old and the school year was nearly over when Reagan passed away. From that point on, during long drives, dad would tell me stories about him and the many great things he did for America.
I Voted for President Reagan.
Every soul shall taste Death
Ofcourse and it is only a matter of time.
I can't believe its been 20 years since he died ... RIP President Reagan
Imagine Reagan’s reaction to Pride Month
Truly a day to celebrate
we did the same for George Floyd
God bless him now and always
nah
I love your wit
Best day in decades.
Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump were the two best Presidents this Country has ever had. God Bless them both. ❤❤❤🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
While we can look back and pick apart his decisions now, the voters of 49 states overwhelmingly voted for him. The 1980s were a wonderful decade to be an American.

He the main villain
Age, competency and stamina… where did I heard that criticism before?? I wonder!!!!
Can't believe next year will be 20 years without Ronald Reagan
20 great years
Reagan always DYED his hair
What Moral Leadership? his advisor contact the Iranian government and asked them not to release the hostages except after the election. Reagan turned out the US from the largest creditor in the world to the largest debtor in the world a trend continued to this day. He also canceled Jimmy Carter Mental Health Systems Act of 1980 (MHSA) and this is one of the main reasons for the homeless crisis we are facing.
Thutmose, that was before Regan. But why haven't Democrats fixed the problem?
@@renealexander2703 so Republicans can give this answer.
Found prophetic that Mentally Deranged Man shot him, even God has a Sense of humor
The ACLU actually sued to close down the mental institutions for holding people against thier will, SCOTUS agreed
Also the failed war on drugs and the Iran-contra affair, also Reagonomics are the main cause behind the great economic inequality we have now
He would be 112 years old today
Yep, Thats Longer Than I Expect
America's Thatcher!
It has already been 19 years ago, and without him, everyone like me will remember him as he was truly the greatest man. 😔🌹

"If an individual wants to discriminate against Negros or anyone else in renting or selling their home, it is their right to do so"

Thank goodness he's gone and that era is over.
Shocker he was born in 1911 and as so Prejudice views. If we put everybody on trial in our modern society with our modern beliefs everybody regardless of political party will be seen as a racist they are simply factors of their time
@@globalpoliticsman9523 That's nonsense. There were plenty of people of Reagan's generation who were NOT racist, Many of them fought to end racial discrimination while people like Reagan fought to preserve it. Fortunately, Reagan lost that battle and it became illegal to discriminate on the basis of race in housing.
@@chansetwo Regan was born in 1911 no most of Reagan's generation World unfortunately prejudice two black people and African-Americans the generation that fought against racism were largely born in the twenties and thirties
@@globalpoliticsman9523 That's more nonsense. There have been people of EVERY generation in the US fighting to end racial discrimination for over 200 years. Read US history. Reagan was not among them. He defended racial discrimination and opposed the 1964 Civil Rights act. Thank goodness he and his legacy are gone.
my grandparents were older than Reagan. My paternal grandparents were born in 1898 and 1907. The family dentist for 30 years was a black man. They were patients of his until about 1954 when the doctor retired to open up a radio station. This doctor was the first black man to be granted an FCC license directly from the FCC.
Reagan brought the economy back from the Carter years. Not one mention of it, terrible reporting.

So this is why I randomly remembered his funeral yesterday.The coverage I recall was ubiquitous.I was probably into it too.Benefited Bush Jr in his election year .I later learned how much he was not a saint,but Thanks for this archival coverage.Not aware of the reason behind the Iran arms deal.

Fair minded liberals have no problem at all recognizing his strengths and accomplishments while criticizing his many faults and failed policies. The same right wing conservatives who venerate Reagan are all too happy to support Trump, who largely disagrees with Reagan in policy, tone and method.
