      He was an ACTOR. and not a great one. But a perfect puppet for politics. He worked with the American Manufacturer's Association while hosting a game show after his acting career tanked. They then groomed him to become governor of California, and later, they groomed him to run for President of the USA. While expertly speaking whatever they wrote for him, everything he says during this interview matches the same stuff the AMA created during the 50's

      Conservatism has destroyed our middle class (although as California's governor, he was actually pretty liberal). And Reagan was suffering from dementia probably around 1984. BUT - it's pretty clear in this vid why he was so popular as a politician. At this point in 1975, Reagan had been public speaking for almost 40 years. He was smooth, glib, and good looking. No wonder Obama admired him and quoted him - game recognizes game, as they say.

      And as a consequence he was roundly laughed at by liberal politicians as being an airhead bereft of intellect and inherently evil because he was conservative. Pat Brown was a good example. He was essentially Hilary Clinton during his 3rd campaign for Governor, making fun of Reagan and not taking him seriously because after all, no one was going to elect a B-actor with no political experience. Brown was so smug and cynical toward Reagan's candidacy that he took a scene from one of Reagan's movies and exploited it to tell a 9-year-old kid that Reagan shot Abraham Lincoln. Can't make this up. I'm old enough to remember this.
      Reagan simply went about his business despite all the personal attacks, maintained his good humor and saved his criticisms of the opposition for when it would land solidly. He was not only smart and politically savvy, his lifelong experience as a Democrat before switching parties a few years before his run for Governor gained a lot of support from Democrat voters in California, and it resulted in a landslide victory in a state in which Democrats outnumberd Republicans 3-2. He was a man of substance and impeccable character, and a man who welcomed being underestimated by his detractors. They did so at their peril, and that's ultimately why Reagan never lost an election.

      This is a timely commentary Betty. It is interesting to note that President Reagan simply sat in a chair, legs crossed, calm, and kept his voice in a similar calming tone. Unfortunately politicians today are hyper focused, donor sensitive, micro managed, and obsessed with their self-image. They rarely allow for lengthy ad hoc discussion, which is sometimes the most interesting, and sadly wouldn't know that such an opportunity exists. I say all of this equally surprised at your own calming image which I say respectfully is beautiful and comforting in its own way.

      Have you actually heard brutal honesty before? Call up your mother or father and ask her what she thinks about a life choice youve made that you know she probably likes or dislikes strongly. Thats brutal honesty. Politicians, comedians, tv actors of all stripes, literally live off of and are hired to fulfil a role which does not involve being genuine. Both reagan and carson are acting here, now the characters they play are genuine because a true actor becomes the character. Like when Frodo throws the ring into mount doom, its not a lying Elijah Wood it really is Frodo. But is it deserving of the claim of brutal honesty? Not too sure. Theres definitely an agenda. This is both a political and money making enterprise, tv that is.

    Man do we need these guys back. What common sense from Mr. Reagan. You just don’t hear this dialogue anymore. If we would heed these words today, this country would be in such a better state of things.

    I'm so glad I stumbled onto this! Reagan is actually funnier than Carson! The thing I always loved about Ronald Reagan is his down to earth pragmatic views! The way he crumbled up the speeches that were written for him,and Shot from the Hip! Now that I am older and saw this, I'm reminded how intelligent, genuine and gentile this man really was! He had that effect on many to the dismay of the thieving Washington beaurucrats.a k.a.(Teflon President).Ronald Reagan's Magmatism,and Honest Candor did what most politicians felt was impossible.Becoming Trusting Partners,and then friends with Gorbachev (leader of the evil USSR).
