Was great to have once had a President who could tell a joke, instead of being one.
Democrats were bad to Reagan too. They treated him like crap and always making fun of him for something
You are so right, Trump was the biggest joke for a president
@@jipadan you’re so brainwashed do yourself a favor stop listening to msm you be able to think on your own
@@jipadan no the fuck he wasn’t, but you are.
Ronnie was a joke as well. Ronald Reagan was a piece of s***.
I was born and raised in USSR and Reagan was actually loved by the soviet folks. Highly revered by friends and foes.
@Andrew Matthews He didn't say when they loved him. When the Soviet Union which were made up of many countries toppled communism I imagine their lives were changed for the better. It is a fact the people of Poland saw Reagan as a hero and had his picture on the walls of their homes .News has a way of getting to the people who are oppressed as it did in ww2. Polands Lech Walesa dissident and Nobel peace laureate was getting inspired personally (through back channel help) from Reagan in toppling communism so much so that he honored him a few years ago by unveiling a statue of the President in the middle of Warsaw.
now i know where President Trump got it from..and why i like him
@@navydoll what world do you live in..Trump has that kind of folksy humor LOL
Same here. He brought an end to the Cold War together with the Soviet president. Such a classy man, such a classy time, and such a classy country. Deep, deep sigh.
@Andrew Matthews Effectively Poland was a part of the USSR though, as were all the Soviet satellite 'states'. And surely Comrade Andropov should be the Polish hero, not Gorbachev, since it was Andropov's refusal to roll the tanks into Poland to crush Solidarity that changed everything. Gorbachev continued this policy.
"I won't exploit the youth and inexperience" is the funniest thing any U.S. President has ever said.
Even Mondale laughed - and he knew it was over with that response.
Yes when he said that Mondale said later that he knew he had lost.
The ultimate boss move though was right after when everyone was howling with laughter including Mondale he just drinks the water like it was nothing.
The man had just given the best debate sound bite ever and casually takes a drink like “what else ya got for me?”
"only Rossie odonel"
The good ole days. Back when presidents could complete a sentence.
back when we could laugh with the president, and not at the president, as we've been doing since 2016

Weather you're liberal, conservative, or libertarian you can't deny President Regan had the best humor out of every president in the history of the United States
Water Sheep I’d have to ask him because I’m not as familiar with all the rest of the presidents.
possibly but i cant stop laughing every time I look at Trump or read his ramblings......................
For all the hardships that a president might had to endure I want to imagine Grant’s jokes might have had some of the greatest of potencies but I haven’t any idea if he even had a sense of humor. It might’ve been genius for a comedian to inductively invent at some historical past era I suppose but nowadays it’s as irrelevant as much of Will Rogers antics barring a requisite specialized education in history.
absoftitanium spell check software is competent on your devices?
Whether or not you care to consider conversation as anything more than a competition you can truly win at. It’s an opportunity to exchange thoughts and ideas to me.
0:54. You have to appreciate the fact that his opponent genuinely laughed at the joke, appreciating it as such, rather than getting all bent out of shape and angry like a modern day politician would.
can you imagine either side, in today's climate, the exact same scenario? How's that spelled...OMG or something like that? Or even the Gorbachev write it 100 times remark, which was funny!
They only laugh and pretend to be appreciative when the camera is on them. That's what politicians do.
J S we’ll back then people could take jokes really easily politicians included, in fact most of these guys despite being from different parties would go out and have a drink like a normal set of friends would.
Actually Walter Mondale admitted that while TV cameras captured him laughing at Reagan’s joke, he was also crying because he realized his campaign was over with that one line
And they say that was the moment he conceded the race to Reagan, at least in his mind!
After watching this, I am in tears to think how far our great country has degenerated...Regan was truly a class act.
I’m like you…😢
I know right 😢
he said the n word my dude
My husband was among 75 journalists to be invited to a White House luncheon in 1986, and he was stunned to find his name card next to President Reagan at their table. He came home with wonderful stories & the best was his awe at Reagan's humility and perspective about democracy. Read "When Character was King" by Peggy Noonan, one of Reagan's speech writers. Excellent!
OK.

Lee Atwater, advisor to Ronald Reagan and George HW Bush said quote: “Y'all don't quote me on this. You start out in 1954 by saying, "N*****, n*****, n*****”. By 1968, you can't say "n*****"-that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like forced busing, states' rights and all that stuff. You're getting so abstract now [that] you're talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you're talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is [that] blacks get hurt worse than whites. And subconsciously maybe that is part of it. I'm not saying that. But I'm saying that if it is getting that abstract, and that coded, that we are doing away with the racial problem one way or the other. You follow me-because obviously sitting around saying, "We want to cut this", is much more abstract than even the busing thing, and a hell of a lot more abstract than "N*****, n*****". So, any way you look at it, race is coming on the back-burner.”
Know who and what you’re actually voting for.
That was nice to hear thanks. There are a lot of good people, Republicans Democrats and independents, if you take away their politics, the trick is can they be good and still keep their politics. Reagan did a very good job of that he was who he was wherever he was at. He left America in good shape after his second term and a Soviet Union back in their place.
Just another puppet
My God, this makes me sad for the old days when there was still shared pride and joy in American politics and not just division and anger.
And no Political Correctness.
He was hated by the Dems almost as much as Trump, but was loved so much by the people for his humor.
@@flob4332 Because he was classy.
@@flob4332 maybe the dem politicians but the average dem on the street really didn't mind Reagan unlike Trump.
Yea because back in your olden days media didn't cover all that politicians did, especially if it wasn't in plain sight. Reagan started the corporate tax cuts that now plague us, but nobody remembers him for that
As someone who is pretty liberal myself, I must say that Reagan sure was a national treasure. I admire his professionalism yet witty character. What a President he was.
I knew a lot of Dems that felt the same. Says a lot about a person that is loved by both sides!
Reagan humour is like a breath of fresh air unlike old sleepy slow joe biden who has the humour of a house plant. Old no go hidin biden IS a joke.
@@bknyland4134 I'm honestly astounded at how Biden was even nominated for the Democrats let alone winning the Presidency. I swear he has dementia because he is definitely not right. Reagan's presidency was when people could still have a decent conversation and have conflicting views and not get all up in arms over small stuff.
@@bknyland4134 PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN buck one, Timbuktu . . .
The long-awaited finale of the televised poem competition had arrived. President RONALD REAGAN had entered the competition. He announced that he would only be reciting poems about personal spiritual experiences. Despite this limitation, it turned out he was gifted with words and he had made it all the way to the final. His opponent was favored to win: Pope John Paul II on the top of his career and with a mind as sharp as a knife’s edge.
Pope John Paul II was up first. He was informed of the rules: "Two minutes to come up with a poem, and it must involve Timbuktu." The clock started, and the Pope approached the microphone:
"On my way through desert sand
met a lonely caravan
Men on camels, two by two . . .
Destined for: Timbuktu."
The crowd went wild. Commentators were ecstatic. This was without a doubt the best poem of the competition. The Pope had done it again! But as the crowd settled down their spirits sank. As far as anyone knew, RONALD REAGAN had never been to Timbuktu, which was soon confirmed by the TV commentator. How could REAGAN have a personal spiritual experience with Timbuktu? REAGAN went on stage and was informed of the rules: "Two minutes to come up with a poem, and it must involve Timbuktu." The clock was started, but after only a short thought, the President REAGAN stopped it. As REAGAN approached the microphone, silence went through the audience. Was he withdrawing from the competition? No, to everybody’s surprise REAGAN started to recite his poem based on personal spiritual experiences:
"Me and Tim to my hotel went
met some boys, cheap to rent.
They were three and we were two,
So I bucked one, and 'Tim-bucked-two.'"
@@boballen1294 The Pope is preparing to board the plane, when he hears that PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN is on the same flight. "This is exciting," thinks the Pope. "Perhaps I'll be able to see him in person." To his surprise, REAGAN sits down in the seat next to him. Shortly after take-off, REAGAN begins a crossword puzzle. Almost immediately, REAGAN turns to The Pope and says, "Excuse me, but do you know a four letter word referring to a woman that ends in ‘-unt’?’" One word comes to his mind. "My goodness," thinks The Pope, "I can't tell President REAGAN that. There must be another word." The Pope thinks for a while, and then it hits him. Turning to REAGAN, The Pope says, "I think the word you're looking for is ‘aunt.’" "Of course," says REAGAN. "Do you have an eraser?"
America was blessed when Ronald Reagan became president. No matter what crisis we faced, when President Reagan appeared on TV to talk about it, I immediately had a feeling come over me that everything was going to be okay. What a leader!
Contra affair pretty fucked up, but he was funny so lets ignore that
Reagan was my commander and chief. He was well liked by the US military
@@UlyseesSGrantGamingjustified treason
Just another azzwipe who doesn’t want to admit trickle down economics was another charade by the Nazi Republican Party to separate the rich oligarchs and their corporations…from the middle class working people they f**ked over.
he _did_ give the green light to destroy half of the developing world, start the war on drugs, ignore the entire HIV/AIDS epidemic, fund the Timorese genocide which resulted in ~300,000 deaths, create the first anti-gun legislation (as governor of California) specifically to destroy the Black Panther Party, and triple the U.S. national debt, but man was he funny
What is not to love about Ronald Reagan. Charismatic, smart, brave, funny, handsome and so likable that you just smiled when you saw him. He is a comedian and a face that you just adored. I wish there were more like him now. RIP to you Sir!
I agree with you. However the media HATED him as much as they currently hate Trump. I know that's hard to believe, given his congenial personality. But the media has always favored left of center Democrats.
I am a 70 year old army veteran and there was a time in my life after I got out of the army when I didn’t give politics a second thought. One day I was channel surfing on my tv when I came to the channel when President Reagan was giving a speech when he referred to the Soviet union as the Evil Empire, I was in awe that someone was speaking with “balls”! I was hooked from that day forward as a conservative! Thank God for Ronald Reagan😊
Young liberals who weren't even alive when he was president hate him
All the drugs and guns he dump in the Black communities this guy was freaking evil like all 46 presidents white supremacists through and through
He was an asshole who did fuck all about drugs for starters.
Armed militants in foreign affairs that had nothing to do with him. But yeah.
He was a cu**
Decency, honor, humility. The good ole days!
People in general were also behaving very different back then, not just Reagan.
The whole energy was different
And now for a word from our Big Corporate Sponsors...
He was The President of all Presidents. As a young Marine i met him , wish i could have spend the entire day just picking his brain.
@@kyramia4955 come on you stupid bot, you're crowding up the reply sections
Yeah, no Democrat has ever possessed any of those traits. Thank God Trump did. Until you fucking morons let the molester in chief steal it! God damn you all.
"When I go into a physical; they no longer ask for my age, they Carbon date me."
That one just kills me.
just take our DNA when you get covid test tells them everything
@@magnus9701 The fuck are you saying
@@magnus9701 that is completely irrelevant
You could more easily count his rings around the truth.
We need more presidents like president reagan. He loved our country and did everything i believe he could to better and protect it.
The current President (Resident, actually) is corrupt, crafty and a basic fraud and half-wit. So goes the country, as we are seeing..
Agreed. He loved this country, his speeches could really make me feel proud of my country. It’s a shame to not see or feel this from “Obidens “ Administration. The absolute worst government in office I can remember. Satan has taken it over and pulling out all the stops to destroy it. Trump was not perfect but I believe he truly does love this country and wants to save it and I also believe he is the only one who can do it. I also believe this downward spiral our great nations is headed started a long time ago, especially in the 60s, and we let it happen. We sat back and gave the government too much power and now it is openly telling the truth by saying things like “we are coming for your children”. My country is turning into Sodom and Gomorrah and all we need do is open our Bibles and see what happened to them, there was not one person worth saving. Just heard the looney tune that Fani Willis “appointed “ to be forewoman of the jury in Trumps Fulton County GA case practices WITCHCRAFT. Got a how to page on Pinterest . WTH! 😮
🥴🥴🥴🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great president. Good sense of humor. A very intelligent man indeed. Lots of respect Mr. President ❤
Will we ever see the day again when one side of the isle can laugh at the joke from the other side in public?
I think they will be offended for no reason 🤣
Doubtful. Hate sells
Aisle please! But fuckng brilliant in any case, Reagan that is
actually, there are some who laugh at their own party all the time
once the swamp has been drained maybe
Those are the days. People had Decency, Class, Respect & Humility.
just amazing time... and people has no idea,, what time was and how lucky they are...
@Jou t6 Ridiculous. People were much happier back then because they were in the tail end of the golden age of economic expanse. Which was effectively killed by reagan and his corporate policies. It has nothing to do with the left, feminism or how kids are raised. It has everything to do with people in reagan's time being able to support a family of six off of one full time working parent. Compared to now where you need both parents working to support a family with one child.
Also screaming maniacs complaining how they are oppressed? You're pretty much describing the civil rights movement. But you wouldn't call them maniacs because you lost that fight.
While the last admin trying to dismantle the definition of democracy . Lol and mr.antichrist trump said he's better than R.R smh . R.R would spit on him and call him a traitor
You had that with Mr Obama.
There's a total lack of humility, integrity, class in this country and DC.
When President Reagan spoke everyone would just listen.
💯
What a FINE BLEND of CHARISMA and HUMOR ❤😅
Love you President Reagan!!!!
This is how a president speaks…from the heart and using his own brain…not a teleprompter and a nap.
Oh, he did indeed use the teleprompter quite readily. And as far as naps he had his share and then some. But he was still able to function. He didn't derail the whole country, running it off the cliff. The Deep State at that point was was much more covert at that point in time they at least had a slight semblance of propriety. Today they just don't care
biden uses a big screen tv not a teleprompter.
Reagan napped nearly every day, lol.
@@TheZeekgeek1 how do you know that? Btw, most European countries have maps scheduled into their work day
The former praised president who was a full blown racist. Nothing has changed .😈😈💩😡🇺🇸🤮
Few years after being shot, at a function, there was some kind of sound that might or might not have been a gun shot. He heard it and quickly added, " Haha. You missed!" That was a great president.
The funniest remark to the Surgeon that was going to operate on Reagan he said to the Surgeon I certainly hope you are a Republican other wise I am in trouble. Told wife Nancy Reagan Honey, I should have ducked.
Deborah J. Dirk-Halley 😂💯
Wow
True gentleman, his voice and sense of humor are amazing
Ronald Reagan was president when I came to the US as a teen and I later joined the US Army under his presidency. This man was admired and liked by many more than known. He was one great president and I too admired him and his administration.
“I did not actually hear George Washington say that” 😂😂
That was fantastic. I agree.
When?
@@specialoperationsunitalpha9737 This whole scene 1:27
Thx
I didn't get this.... can you explain me plz
I was in fourth grade when Reagan was elected in November of 1980, and a senior in high school in January, 1989 when he left office. The 1980's were a great time to grow up.
Class of 89' here too!
How do you feel about our current president?
I was 24 and so glad to see Jimmy Carter out of the Whitehouse! Yup, I loved RR. It has gone down hill from there, until Trump.
J Q ....I'm 2 years younger than you, but I too feel the same way about the woman 80's and early 90's....
Class of 88 ... The good ole days
I’m from England and would have to say President Reagan was my favourite president. Such a class man and highly intelligent
There was so much significance and intelligence in his jokes.
Yes it reminds me how every time i saw my grandma she used to tell me a joke like this. Although they were usually dirty-but classy. She was hilarious
I miss him. He was a great leader. He got the Russian President to tear down the Berlin Wall and free the East German people. He sent out two fighter jets to intercept the Achilli Lauro hijacker’s and had the pilots tell the hijackers that if they dont land the plane immediately, they’ll land it for you. He handled Iran very nicely and never allowed any country to bully or threaten us. He was a great President and wasn’t afraid to lead.
He armed and trained bin laden, he helped put Saddam Hussein in power then armed him, he directly allowed the crack epidemic to destroy inner city black populations, he ramped up our disastrous war on drugs which ruined millions of innocent lives and led to the Mexican cartels, he supported dictators and overthrows of democratic cally elected leaders in other countries, he illegally bombed multiple countries, he drastically grew the power of the military industrial complex and defense contractors, etc etc etc. This country would be far better off if his attempted assassin had better aim
I believe also, Peace through Strength, the only way to rule🕊🫒🇺🇲
Bullshit. That’s the least he can do after fucking over his own country. F*** him and f***you.
Half the countries in the world tried to give him grief for threatening to shoot down a civilian airliner. He just said there's a clear message here; terrorist activity against U S citizens will not be tolerated under any circumstances and they wouldn't get away.
A breath of fresh air. It's no wonder he and Margret Thatcher became such great friends; mirroring the relationship that the USA and the UK had
.
It blows my mind that Biden has not recognized our greatest ally. Even Trump knew!

I served under him and he was the best president ever! His sense of humor was infectious but he knew how to take care of the USA. Back then, there wasn’t as much hate and we all got along no matter what side of the fence you voted for.
Longing for the good ole days. Back when people had respect for one another and patriotism for their country.
this is very important words!!! what happened since that time!!!????/

Reagan's Irish skills of storytelling and one liners (gift of the gab) are brilliant.
I am from UK and was around during Regan's time, and want to know why we never saw any of this. He was painted completely differently by our media. I like him much more than I did at the time. We need his style today in this colourless political world.
Bexause UK is a left wing country.
Yeah media sucks he was one of the best presidents we ever had and my favorite one
His style seemed cool but the long term results of his policies have been disastrous for both our country and the world
@@Scott-fy7fmwhat policies, exactly?
@@MisterTwister88 he completely ignored AIDS epidemic as it started simply because it was mostly confined to gat people.
He ramped up our disastrous war on drugs, locking up millions of people for nonviolent possession charges, with FAR more severe sentencing for minorities.
He directly funded and trained Osama bin Laden and associates even though the CIA repeatedly warned him he would eventually attack us.
He helped Saddam Hussein solidify power in Iraq
He massively bloated wasteful military spending and drastically increased the corrupting influence of private
defense contractors on public policy
He helped prop up numerous dictators in Central and South America, keeping those countries from developing economic and political stability, many of which are now in turmoil and causing immigrants to flee to the US for political asylum and safety
He ramped up the federal deficit and debt through huge increases in federal spending.
He grew the size of the federal government
The entire absurdly multiple scandals in one Iran Contra debacle
He helped create the stagnation of middle and lower class income relative to inflation and drastically increasing the upward flow of money from low and middle classes to the elite rich
He was a bigot, he is on tape making horrendous racist private statements against blacks and gays
The list goes on......
A word from Poland. I wish the USA return to traditional values, mutual respect among all citizens and glory days in the future. It doesn't take that much, just a firm declaration: we want it.

There are a few good candidates out there, but none in the lead..though DeSantis is a very solid, smart, brave, impressive, patriotic man, and we could do worse.
HE is the greatest President of my lifetime. He always will be the greatest!
Reagan was THE BEST president ever. William F. Buckley was brilliant! A genius.
Possibly the worst president, actually, after Hoover. You need to read up on failures of national state.
Not everyone agreed with his politics but he sure was a hell of a man! Proud of his country and sincerely cared for the American people!
Sounded like Donald Trump. Trump wasn't as smooth but he loves this country and the people in it.

I have been laughing at you liberals since 9/11. Misery loves company.
He was mine too during my service in the Navy. Loved him!
Reagan armed Saudi Bin Laden and had Bin Laden as a CIA agent. Reagan called the Taliban the freedom comparable to the Founding Fathers. What that cost the USA. Reagan gave poison gas and helicopters to Saddam Hussein who used those arms against the Kurds in 1988. Reagan never served in WWII and only did movies with Errol Flynn who Reagan was jealous of. Reagan later imagined he liberated concentration camps. Reagan never fought in North Africa, Europe, or the Pacific. Read And the Band Played On. Reagan and Aidsgate. History will recall Reagan did least of all. Where was the Manhattan project for Aids ??? Reagan healthcare plan was just don't get sick. Think of Reagan and the decade of greed. Glad Reagan Junior is an atheist and a Democrat. Reagan Junior did say Reagan had Alzheimer's already in his first term. Glad Nancy Reagan endorsed First Lady Hillary Clinton in 2016. Stop the corporate welfare. Did you you get your trickle from Reagan ??? Well no American except the one-percent will get their trickle now.
If a current President had President Reagan’s personality, they would dominate. He isn’t afraid of conflict because he turns it into humor that anyone can relate to. He’s always confident because he’s very smart and very persuasive.
I was only 3 when Reagan died, would’ve loved to have met the man. He’s like the grandfather I wish I had.
My God you just had to love President Reagan! His sense of humor was astounding!!!!!
I really can’t appreciate the humor of someone if they’re as bad as Reagan politically. At some point you can’t separate the art from the artist, and he crossed the boundary.
@@doublezero1196 I'm sure the collapse of the Iron Curtain must have been a great tragedy for you and your fellow Democrats in the People's Temple mass suicide cult chanting "Death to America" at Ayatollah Khomeini rallies but the rest of us were actually pretty happy with the End of the Cold War not involving our becoming a totalitarian police state or being destroyed by an atomic war as odd as that may seem to you.
@@Texasjim2007 Big whoop. All Reagan ever did was follow the policies of every single president before him.
@@bruce1002003 Okay fair enough since as a conservative former Democrat that was pretty much his intention. He even had some good things to say about Jimmy Carter when he volunteered to speak at a fundraiser for Carter's Presidential Library.
Yes I remember him as a twenty something. He brought Americans together. Reagan Democrat here. 🇺🇲
Rest in eternal peace President Ronald Reagan.
It was an honor voting for him.
Same, i loved President Reagan.
@@TheDisabledGamersChannel Ditto! Ron was the first prez I ever voted for, and the best!
@@iluvdrywall Same he was the 1st president "2nd term" i was legally able to vote for and what a great great man he was, wish we had more like him today.
Lee Atwater, advisor to Ronald Reagan and George HW Bush said quote: “Y'all don't quote me on this. You start out in 1954 by saying, "N*****, n*****, n*****”. By 1968, you can't say "n*****"-that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like forced busing, states' rights and all that stuff. You're getting so abstract now [that] you're talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you're talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is [that] blacks get hurt worse than whites. And subconsciously maybe that is part of it. I'm not saying that. But I'm saying that if it is getting that abstract, and that coded, that we are doing away with the racial problem one way or the other. You follow me-because obviously sitting around saying, "We want to cut this", is much more abstract than even the busing thing, and a hell of a lot more abstract than "N*****, n*****". So, any way you look at it, race is coming on the back-burner.”
Know who and what you’re actually voting for.
Even Walter was like damn.
He changed the world for better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤
You could tell he loved this country…he had a great sense of humor and wrote these himself, I don’t care about dem or republican…he was a great man.
From The UK, I never expected such brilliant humour from Ronal Reagan, I was absolutely crying with laughter. Wonderful.
Hello Sheila, How are you doing?
Yes, and the slide show was a epic! LOL They should make it a qualification that every president must make a laugh break such as that for all meetings!
he was awesome on Desperate Journey with Alan hale Snr & Errol Flynn
Probably, Sheila, because all you knew about Reagan was what you learned from the mainstream media.
I do not say this lightly.
When running for President, Reagan was vilified as an evil dumb person. He was a man of class and character that had respect for other people.
Beautifully Gracious Loving of A Real Gentleman of what I adored in a man.
Respect for one another. Humor. The rule of law. Truth. These are truly American qualities, regardless if we agree with one another. Let’s get back to this ASAP.
My favorite President. God bless you. We miss you. Rest in peace.
I am a South African and even I feel wistful in recalling the era of President Reagan, he made one proud to be human
I have always loved, and revered Ronald Reagan, a great president. He had class and wisdom.
A time when America was great. A true orator, statesman and a leader!
How true. Great days gone but remembered
Before covid, America was great
You don’t get out much, do you?
@eric vosselmans great? You're now the laughing stock of the world. You lost the respect and power you once had.
@Clifford Driver how ignorant are you??
REAGAN WAS A GREAT PRESIDENT. HIS CIVILITY, COMMON SENSE, MORAL CHARACTER, AND HUMOR MAKES HIM A STANDOUT PRESIDENT. WE WERE BLESSED TO HAVE HAD HIM.
Amen! I am fully with you on this!
Ronald Reagan was my Commander in Chief when I was in the Air Force during the Cold Whoever put this together is absolute Genius! Wonderful compilation of his jokes! THANK YOU 🎉
He was one of a kind. The loss of that generation took a massive toll on our nation and continues to be missed more every year. The dignity just doesn't exist now.
Especially after you voted for Trump, eh?
2022 and This man is still missed. Never a better President!
I highly agree. He was absolutely the best president in my opinion.
Kennedy is da best too
Unless you were mentally ill or an Air Traffic Controller . Made the first homeless and the second unemployed for saying the system was dangerous. GOP always serves the masters over the people.
@@StudMacher96 but he died in the middle of the Mandate and did not win the Cold War
@@thealyssonramon216 so, winning or not winning the cold war is the criterion for best president? Just curious.
He was the best president of my lifetime, and I’m old.
Bless his soul. I love this man.. 💐
So proud to have served in the military with this man as my Commander-in-Chief! 🇺🇸. May he rest in peace.🙏
Reagan was my Commander-in-Chief also. I did not vote for the man and I am not a republican. Reagan however was presidential.
Fuck Reagan, Fuck Republicans.
@@ablueairheadablueairhead3215 the irony being that Reagan would never say, "Fuck Democrats".
"People do not have ideas, ideas have people."
~Carl Jung
I served in the army during his last 3 years in office after his reelection
I'm glad and very happy to have served under Regan. Very happy to have Trump as my president.
I remember when he was shot. Before surgery he said to the doctors, "I hope you are all Republicans today." He was the best. Thank you Ronnie for serving our country. 🇺🇲
Fuck Reagan, Fuck Republicans.

The favorite President of my whole lifetime.
I was so young when he was President and never really get to hear his speech until now! Man,he is a speech legend RIP
I MISS THIS MAN. AND I ESPECIALLY MISS HIS WISDOM
Do you miss his assault on legal unions and putting in place free trade , thus draining all of the American jobs to low wage countries? Unless of course you are a member of the economic elite?
I see that i have walked into leftist central in these replies
Clifford Driver how the FUCK could you be even MORE idiotic?!?
@@RobertJamesChinneryH You weren't even alive when he was President, were you?
*I don't know what l like better about this amazing man, his intelligence, his integrity, or his witty wordplay. Why choose? He was a great man.*
he sure was a great man . I miss the guy
I loved his movies. My favorite genre: 30s & 40s. Such great actors they were. And with his strong portrayal of the typical underdogs, I think he developed more humanity and more humility. What great works his mother and THE Father had begun in him, he went on to grow into the great works of not only the theatrical stage but on the political stage as well. A humble man who still has a strength to be proud of. His parents definitely should be proud of who he grew to be. May he rest in eternal peace with his Creator, Lord and friend. Goodnight Mr President. Rest well. You ARE missed.
@@qqq1q1qqqqqqq what you have said here is pure solid gold and spot on about the man just my opinion. i am positive his parents were proud of him. with all the stupid crap going on today we all sure could a leader like him again looks like a big fat no at this time.. rest in peace Mr President.
@@rover-qx5eq Thank you so much.
What integrity? This man helped us down the path to the shit we have today.
This was a person who communicated wonderfully I loved his anecdotes…he had a great sense of humor, really liked him as a person.
Reagan was truly the Great Communicator. His humor, humility and class was remarkable. Also, it's worth noting that most of these jokes and speeches were given without a teleprompter. As an example, look at how effortlessly he recited this "story" at 32:52....sure, it was prepared, but he delivered it flawlessly. What an incredible stateman and POTUS. I believe our country could find some common ground if either party could find a candidate like Reagan...
I was a child then but I do remember his Soothing voice, those were different times when America was a different place... we miss you Ronnie 🤗
Yes we do
WOW...we could sure use this man as our President right now! I really miss him in the White House. A real class act.
Now we just have a dumbass
@Denise you are living proof that you can't fix stupid
If he was around today he would be canceled or painted as a racist or bigot....
@Denise right, because Biden saying, "poor kids are just as smart as white kids," or, "if you don't vote for me, you ain't black" isn't racist at all
@Denise anyone you dislike is a racist, I guess
Now in year 2023, this man is still missed dearly.
So great to see and hear old memories of a great President Ronald Reagan. I hope we can find more great Presidents like this one to lead our country 🙏. In God we trust ...
President Reagan, I wasn't old enough to vote for him because he left office the year I turned 18 but this man is the reason I'm a conservative today.
Hi dear how are you doing today over right
Many of us
@Aureum Scriptum Uh...Traitor Trump wasn't on the ballot in 2014 - and I doubt you could tell the difference between a communist and Uranus.
@Ann Raines ~ 🤡
@@bruce1002003 Trump is so much like Regan and that is why the swamp and media are filling the sheep with lies they do not want the people to think for self.
The guy had it all. What a fantastic president he was!
I remember as a kid seeing his union addresses on TV, he was always a genuine man and treated everyone with respect and kindness, he was a gentle giant that got tough when he was required to let the world know who was in control
What a great man… Great leaders around that era… real political giants…..RIP Mr Reagan…
I was newly married when Reagan was elected. The next eight years was the first time I ever watched a presidential press conference, state of the union address, and every time he was on TV. We never missed. Boy do I miss him!
I am from ex USSR and I tell you, we had a lot of respect for this guy.
I like Putin, from what I can see from the States looks like he does not take any shit.
With all the BS about Trump and Putin having before election ties, I can tell you that they would had worked well together to bring the world closer together, I think those two could had done a lot of good. Democrats have done all they can to mess with President Trump and our two countries with BS of collusion which were we all were thought were put to bed with the last investigation, something that will never end as long as he is president. President Trump cannot take a shit without them accusing him of sending out info in his toilet that they even bag that up to have checked out.
So did we in the US
@@conexn You still have a lot to learn about politics and life. Putin is destroying Russia. Just look who are the allies of Russia: Venezuela, Iran, N. Korea, China, Syria, ..
@@toroblanco5070 You only know what they tell you, you think N. Korea is the only one how puts out misinformation?
@@conexn I base my opinion on my experience not on propaganda. I lived under communists, socialists and capitalists. I can tell who is lying and who is not and when. Rule of thumb is, when any system doesn't work, government starts lying. Russia doesn't work
President Reagan was and is a National Treasure!
I watched president Reagan's jokes numerous times through the years. Each time I chucked to death.
When Tip O’Neal died president Reagan had tears in his eyes even though they differed politically they would play cards have drinks I miss when it wasn’t personal
Amen.
I saw this was 42 minutes and thought it too long. Before I knew it, it was over and I was wanting more! What a great time to be alive! I turned 18 in 1980, voted for Reagan twice. I wouldn't have traded those times for anything! Loved the 80's! I feel sorry for anyone that missed it! Looking at the mess we have in the white house now, makes me realize how good we had it. Biden couldn't put 2 words together from a joke, before forgetting it!
It would have to be on a teleprompter and even then his delivery is questionable.
i agree, those 42 minutes flew. laughed my ass off all the way from start to finish
I, like millions of Americans, love this great man. I think the main reason why is that he had real “class”. He was also a superb Statesman, and the reason for both of these qualities was that he was absolutely genuine.
It brings me to tears what has become of my hero’s party 😢
Reagan was a great President. I served under him in the Army. We felt safe and able to defend ourselves.
Funny how Americans always talk like they are under threat when its always America that invades or orchestrates civil wars.
@@keirmardy2267 way to read for context. He literally said he felt safe and able to defend himself serving in the ARMY under reagan.
Maybe you dont know this, but soldiers get attacked.

@Heathcliff 001Medicine Says who, fauxnews? :D
@Heathcliff 001Medicine For a supposedly educated person resorting to adolescent bluster blows your cover, pumpkin.
@Heathcliff 001Medicine you have the wrong deity it was Lucifer who gave this man to us. i guess over 167K dead Americans & counting had nothing to with him??? I guess over 135% deaths by mass shooting in his 3 1/2 yrs compared to Obama's EIGHT had nothing to do with him? i guess him lying & contradicting himself over & over & over again has nothing to do with him?? the record unemployment has nothing to do with him?? I feel sorry for people like you but that only lasts a few seconds before i can't stop laughing lolol
@Harry Denny If you think the Democrats are better, your a complete fool. Both parties manipulate the people for their own personal gain.
A unic character and a man with Christian values!
I was never a fan of Reagan's politics, but you have to admit, he was funny and a class act!
How I miss Reagan and his confidence; telling jokes, serious comments and quotes. OH, yeah, running the country like a true president and commander in chief.
A yawning chasm between this guy and the current incumbent😏.
That was a time when a sense of humor was appreciated and it is so needed today
RR's beat statement, "This salute is for you ". He was a class act and hard to follow.
President Reagan was extremely charming and captivating!
