This footage is a treasure because there's not a lot of video of Pres. Reagan during this stage of his life. One of his last major public appearances was at the 1992 convention where he gave a speech supporting George H.W. Bush.
There is a February 1994 speech as well at his 83rd birthday bash in DC. Former PM Thatcher also gave a speech. Reagan was slow, and sounded off, but more or less seemed he was lucid throughout the event. August 1994 is when he announced his diagnosis.
@@fshoaps Except Reagan never visited again. A speech to the RNC notwithstanding, there was a signficant reduction in Pres. Reagan's public appearances around this time. His last appearance in support of other GOP candidates was in 1992. When he withdrew from public life in 1994, it was via letter -- not a public appearance.
Reagans speech at ‘92 Republican convention was excellent and the highlight of a dreary Bush convention and campaign. The Reagans were said to be disappointed in Bush’s re-election campaign.
@killwill83 it was a perfect storm. Perot splintered Repubs. and Clinton had a populist message. Bush was also portrayed as completely out of touch by media as well.
I was never a Reagan fan. But watching him struggle with Alzheimer’s was heartbreaking. And Miss Nancy sure did love him. A closer duo in the White House you’d be hard pressed to find.

@@raymond6646 you realize that every single president in our countries history has probably done many impeachable and shady things. That’s why it’s stupid to nitpick what one president did, because they all have done bad things
I am OK not living too long, but as long as I am alive, I want to preserve my mental acuity. God bless Mr.Reagan's soul. It was heartbreaking to see his face when he couldn't find his wife 3:53 :(
His daughter Patti said after that fall they found plaques on his brain and that was 1989. I so agree about the desire to preserve mental acuity. However, Reagan was already in his early 80s and lived another 10 years, which took him into the depths of memory loss.
I miss him. When heard his Alzheimer's its move me to tears. This couple make me miss my parents. Hope them both alive together in heaven. Rest in peace Mr and Mrs
@@christopherdavis2284 You guys are lucky! I am so happy that I got to grow up in Reagan's America (I turned 12 the month before his first inauguration in '81)---and he was my Commander-in-Chief after I joined the USMC--but to see him in person would have been breathtaking!
@@rockoz But his footage is special. And being born over a month and half after this was filmed does make it unique. You'd say the same thing if you were in my shoes.

@@futurepredictions3396 As said by a Millennial that was probably born long after Reagan was out of office and and who just skimmed through a Wikipedia article.
Yes, Reagan began his descent into Alzheimer's in 1992, so that moment could have been part of it...but nice to see he remembered the boy Grant's name.
@@Yobbie72 Right. If he had dementia in 1983/1984 like some people say - even incredibly early dementia - he wouldn't have been able to give lengthy interviews in 1991 where he never missed a single beat, write and memorize eloquent speeches in 1994, sing church hymns in 1996, golf and dress himself in 1997, or recognize and kiss Nancy Reagan in 2000. Alzheimer's progresses slowly but not *that* slowly.
Tear to my eye. Reagan was a humble man of compassion and empathy. Well loved. He would be ashamed of the orange shit stain we have as President today.
@@crocodile1313 you can be from a state without being born there if you live there long enough. IL gets the Lincoln clout, so that's where he's from in my book.

Better than Trump? Trump shouldn't even be in the lineup for greatest president. That malignant narcissist wanted to destroy our country and his cult followers would have succeeded on January 6 if things had only went a little bit differently
I visited the Reagan birthplace in Tampico and his home in Dixon in 2018. Their home in Tampico was above a bank; they had the ledger from around 1918 which had entries from Reagan's mother withdrawing money, $5 or so each time. The home in Dixon was quite nice, with a large yard, but of course the Reagan's were renters, they never owned it.
It's no mistake that mr. Reagan needed to have ginkgo biloba to keep his mind sharp as well as other natural herbs. Now here's something we should think about it is what we can do to keep ourselves healthy. What is the whole problem with Alzheimer's disease? People need to take no.2 what is so dangerous about Alzheimer's disease so they can prevent it.
@Joseph MALLOUHI you are correct. I voted for Biden because kamala was my choice all along and sometime around thanksgiving 2022 I feel he will step down and she will become our president. Alzheimer's runs in my family and I recognize Biden probably has it.
@@kmartradio During Reagan's final years as President, there were some in the media that questioned his cognitive skills, and rightly so. He was like 70-71 when he was shot and that took a toll on him. So by the end of his presidency he was like 77, and was slipping. Biden's 78 now and is showing even more signs of slipping and he just started his presidency. It's wasn't good then and it's not good now that our country may be seen as vulnerable to those that would like to do us harm. This isn't a political jab. This is seriously concerning for all of us.
@@pgrutube We need to stop thinking of the 70s as being synonymous with serious cognitive decline. 5 percent of people in their 70s have dementia and 10 percent have Minor Cognitive Impairment. The other 85 percent are normal. 75 year olds in college have been found to receive similarly high grades as those in their 20s and 30s.
@@DrCasey I'm not disagreeing with you, but in the case of Reagan in the later years of his Presidency and now Biden, in his early years of Presidency, it's really starting to show. I'm no fan of Trump, he was in his 70's, and even now he can still think quick on his feet. Same with Fauci. Joe should be retired right now and not dealing with the weight of the world problems that's heaped on a President. My point is Biden is much worse than Reagan was, and that's a bit scary right now.
So sad... We know that 'falling off the horse' story was an absolute lie. They were working on the poor man's brain. I always liked Reagan. Very grandfatherly.
