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.
I was only 5 years old when the news broke and since then I have been hinged to his legacy and the new movie that came out this summer solidified my respect for his presidency
I cast my first vote for Reagan in 1984. Four years later, I was commissioned a second lieutenant (reserve) in the US Army, with his signature on the document. Ronald Reagan, HE WHO WON THE COLD WAR & FIRST OF HIS NAME, will always be my president.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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)
@@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.
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.
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 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.
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.
@@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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
yeah i remember Reagan passed away in 2004. I didn't realize it was when i was either done with school or nearing the end of my sophomore year of high school. I could have sworn it was during the actual school year
Fact: In all, only five presidents passed away in their 90s. 1. John Adams age 90 2. Herbert Hoover 90 3. Ronald Reagan 93 4. Gerald Ford 93 5. George H.W Bush 94
I was only a little over a year old when this happened, though I think my parents, grandparents and my older relatives might recall watching this broadcast when it aired.
Nice try Dodging the Question, We understand that you were well indoctrinated, So well done, that you were trained to pretend that you know "facts" as well, Now again, Which liberal college brainwashed you?
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.
So many 80s icons left public life in 2004-2006. Peter Jennings, Ronald Reagan and William Rehnquist died, while Tom Brokaw, Dan Rather, Sandra Day o' Connor and Colin Powell retired.
I was on a bus-ride from New York to Texas while the procession was happening, some people even calling into the news-station and suggesting he should replace Washington on the Dollar bill. Blind worship reigns eternal.
In Latin America we remember this guy as a war criminal, for his involvement in death squads and his support of murderous dictators. But yeah, for many Americans he was a "hero" and "the best President ever", which just shows either how ignorant Americans are about what their leaders do, or how little they care about the lives and human rights of people who are not Americans.
What an incredibly d*mb ign0rant statement . Reagan did everything he could to destroy everything the great FDR did . Do you know ANYTHING about American history ?
Reagan's policies set in motion to what has led us to many of the prvoblems we have today. The wealth gap got bigger, welfare programs were gutted, less taxes for the rich, avoiding the AIDS crisis, racist policies, snd and the failed war on drugs all happened on his watch. But he was a good actor who could sell it to America and Americans ate it up.
Reagan visited Madrid to kiss the ring of the Franco fascist monster and said “Americans fought in your civil war but they were on the wrong side.” they should have supported the Nazis and Mussolini’s fascists according to a Reagan”.
I had to have been 40ish and I can't remember how many times I cried the week between his death and internment. Watching the helicopter footage of the hearse driving down the freeway to the Library. Kind of tearing up now. And still don't really know why.
7:44 “dealing with questions about his age, stamina”……Ronald Regan had more stamina, strength and more mental acuity than the drooling potato we have now. The media back then attacking Regan on his age but protecting potato Joe about his age. The media’s double standard.
Ronald Reagan reduced domestic spending while greatly increasing military spending creating massive debts. Even Republican colleagues wouldn't cut the social security benefits he intended because although he you write an applause line about government wasting many programs are actually popular with the public. Reagan's policies caused a crisis in American agriculture moving many "salt of the earth" ordinary, conservative Americans off of their farms. The great communicator was largely silent on the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Except when making gay jokes at the expensive of Americans infected with HIV or dying of AIDS. The Nixon tapes show that he and Nixon were very quick to make racial comments about African-Americans. Many of the right wing conservatives that now venerate Reagan also support Trump. Even Reagan's harshest critics will recognize his abilities and achievements. So I have to ask how can someone be a Ronald Reagan Republican and support Trump? Trump violates all of the Reagan commandments.
I'll add that Shultz was on the board of directors for Theranos and pressured his own grandson to be quiet when he became a whistleblower against the company for their fraud.

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.
yes if u were rich it was
@@SharonM-q8t my family wasn’t rich.
@@paulkersey7458 Under Reagan most were Poor
If everyone was poor why did he win 49 states?

Reagan brought the economy back from the Carter years. Not one mention of it, terrible reporting.
It's perfectly ironic that he died during the start of June.
If we could just elect another person who was focused on morality and straightening out this country

@@ajplays7241hell no 🤣🤣
Reagan was a awful president
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.
yeah i remember Reagan passed away in 2004. I didn't realize it was when i was either done with school or nearing the end of my sophomore year of high school. I could have sworn it was during the actual school year
I loved that guy. He made the 80s a wonderful time for a 20 year old. He made me feel safe
In like a Lion🦁 Out like a Lamb 🐑
He died exactly a month and the day after I was born
Guess we were born 3 days apart 5/7/04
He died on day I was born
The commenters here have no idea the good he did for America. Snowflakes
Snowflakes as an insult is so 2016. Use an original insult already, will ya? 🙄
Spoken like a true 12 year old.
@@dehydratedmanatee3586 ?
Don't be a snowflake. We have free speech in this country. And we can point out that corrupt Reagan is rotting in hell.
How old was he when he died?
He was 93 at death.

I Onle Have One Hero.
Ronald Reagen.Richard.
He the main villain
And the scent of sulfur still lingers…
Fact: In all, only five presidents passed away in their 90s.
1. John Adams age 90
2. Herbert Hoover 90
3. Ronald Reagan 93
4. Gerald Ford 93
5. George H.W Bush 94
John Adams best
3 of them are the worst
God bless him now and always
nah
I love your wit
And now Dan Rather, the man who reported on his death, is now 93 himself!
It was a death that happened far too late. 1979 would have been a better year
Reagan always DYED his hair
It was a very sad day for humanity.
Might as well just say the universe.
Very happy day actually.
Humanity? You mean sad day for Corporations
@@ryanbrown8497 Nonsense
@@bluepikman7851ok you can dislike him all you want but that's too far and shows the type of person you are
I was only a little over a year old when this happened, though I think my parents, grandparents and my older relatives might recall watching this broadcast when it aired.
Can't believe next year will be 20 years without Ronald Reagan
20 great years
I Voted for President Reagan.
I did too and I have mixed feelings about him as I had during his presidency.
Too bad he only did it once
Truly a day to celebrate
we did the same for George Floyd
My favorite Ronald Reagan moment was that time when he died.
Too bad he only did that once
Which liberal college brainwashed you?
@@tzvi3660 I don't need any college to do my thinking for me. Now...Goodnight Poopsie.
Nice try Dodging the Question,
We understand that you were well indoctrinated,
So well done, that you were trained to pretend that you know "facts" as well,
Now again,
Which liberal college brainwashed you?
that's my favorite George Floyd moment too
Age, competency and stamina… where did I heard that criticism before?? I wonder!!!!
Great day.
too bad he only died once
Your name is all I need to know about you.
Best day in decades.
Remembering The 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan (1911 - 2004) on his 20th anniversary of his passing.
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
From the times when "the News" was objective, honest and with feeling.
A great day in history
So many 80s icons left public life in 2004-2006. Peter Jennings, Ronald Reagan and William Rehnquist died, while Tom Brokaw, Dan Rather, Sandra Day o' Connor and Colin Powell retired.
I was on a bus-ride from New York to Texas while the procession was happening, some people even calling into the news-station and suggesting he should replace Washington on the Dollar bill. Blind worship reigns eternal.
Great man great president
He ruined everything
@Danny Cosmos no he didn't the country was left in tremendous shape Jimmy Carter ruined everything
In Latin America we remember this guy as a war criminal, for his involvement in death squads and his support of murderous dictators. But yeah, for many Americans he was a "hero" and "the best President ever", which just shows either how ignorant Americans are about what their leaders do, or how little they care about the lives and human rights of people who are not Americans.
BOTH...
Much of Latin America might have become Communist if not for President Reagan. You should be grateful!
Agreed 💯%
Rotting in hell as we speak.
Greatest one, cheers from brazil! 🔵🟢🟡
His wife consulted an astrologer and she ended up making decisions for him based on what the astrologer advised.
Among the most minor of his many, MANY policy flaws…
Like trickle down economics which failed miserably.
LOL !!!😀
3 GREAT Presidents in 20th century. Two were named Roosevelt and one was Reagan. We miss u very much
No, we don't.
Reagan was great? Was it the iran-contra affair, ignoring the AIDS epidemic, or the recession that was so great?
What an incredibly d*mb ign0rant statement . Reagan did everything he could to destroy everything the great FDR did .
Do you know ANYTHING about American history ?
Wtf? Reagan literally worked to undo Roosevelt’s work
Reagan destroyed the good at least one Roosevelt did. Reagan was an economic terrorist to everyone but the insanely rich.
Reagan's policies set in motion to what has led us to many of the prvoblems we have today.
The wealth gap got bigger, welfare programs were gutted, less taxes for the rich, avoiding the AIDS crisis, racist policies, snd and the failed war on drugs all happened on his watch.
But he was a good actor who could sell it to America and Americans ate it up.
Wealth gap? Are you a socialist? And what racist policies?
3:08 shame it didnt work. John Hinkley is a true hero.
America's Thatcher!
Still smoking that Reagan pack in 2023😎🖕 Burn baby burn!
Hell gained another demon that day
And it’ll be you for thinking he’s evil
You missed the part when Reagan tried to smash a McDonald's.
I cried when I watched President Reagan’s funeral.
Get a grip
Ronald Wilson Reagan (February 6,1911-June 5,2004) was ONE GREAT AMERICAN!🇺🇸
The only thing you can say about Reagan's death is that it's too bad it didn't come 20 years earlier.
Reagan visited Madrid to kiss the ring of the Franco fascist monster and said “Americans fought in your civil war but they were on the wrong side.” they should have supported the Nazis and Mussolini’s fascists according to a Reagan”.
It’s too bad you’re still around.
@@suzannemcmaken4648 lol I'm sure it's far worse that you are
Liberals……
@@JohnSmith-4U You misspelled 'patriots'.
He was my commander while in served and we knew that it's going to be great day's are coming
I love your wit
I had to have been 40ish and I can't remember how many times I cried the week between his death and internment. Watching the helicopter footage of the hearse driving down the freeway to the Library. Kind of tearing up now. And still don't really know why.
7:44 “dealing with questions about his age, stamina”……Ronald Regan had more stamina, strength and more mental acuity than the drooling potato we have now. The media back then attacking Regan on his age but protecting potato Joe about his age. The media’s double standard.
They all are in the hands of M I C but some are better than others, he was from the better bunch.
How old was Reagan when he died
93.

Ronald Reagan reduced domestic spending while greatly increasing military spending creating massive debts. Even Republican colleagues wouldn't cut the social security benefits he intended because although he you write an applause line about government wasting many programs are actually popular with the public. Reagan's policies caused a crisis in American agriculture moving many "salt of the earth" ordinary, conservative Americans off of their farms. The great communicator was largely silent on the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Except when making gay jokes at the expensive of Americans infected with HIV or dying of AIDS. The Nixon tapes show that he and Nixon were very quick to make racial comments about African-Americans. Many of the right wing conservatives that now venerate Reagan also support Trump. Even Reagan's harshest critics will recognize his abilities and achievements. So I have to ask how can someone be a Ronald Reagan Republican and support Trump? Trump violates all of the Reagan commandments.
I'll add that Shultz was on the board of directors for Theranos and pressured his own grandson to be quiet when he became a whistleblower against the company for their fraud.
