      I'll give you one thing,n conservatives are certainly good with a slogan. Not so much when it comes to governing or coming up with viable solutions to problems, but you're hitting it out of the park with the slogans, man. But, I guess you'd have to be good at dumbing things down to avoid confusing brain dead conservatives.

    He was a great, great man. I grew up in an all-Democrat family but I became a huge Reagan fan and a Republican because of Reagan and proudly voted for him with my first ever presidential vote for his re-election, and I especially loved him after he was shot. I lost my own father to violence at a young age and while it may sound corny, I saw Reagan as a superhero-like father figure who survived. The way that man, at his age, came back from multiple gunshots with such bravery and humor and grace, while reassuring the nation and the world that he was well and in charge, had an enormous impact on me. He was a great man and the best President of my lifetime, hands-down. I loved that guy and I still do. Godspeed, Ronnie!

    Reagan was a great communicator and a great president. The thing I took away from this speech was the honesty of Goldwater. My aunt was apart of his presidential campaign. She passed away in 2016. The Goldwater family had a family member present at her funeral. That blew me away. After all those years his family came to show respect to her. My family is not a famous family. We are a humble native American family from a small reservation in AZ. Just a small footnote into the honesty and belief in which Reagan speaks.

I am genuinely curious because I have seen a lot of people from different countries on videos like these. What is your interest in American politics? or is it just coincidental that a lot of reactors that I watch have a multi-national audience?

      @@LastoftheMofreakins I hope your ok with long answers, it may ramble on a bit but my political journey and why I am so invested into US politics is well.. long;
      Do you know anything about 'brexit'? It is a big political issue that happened in Britain when the country voted to stop being a part of the European Union (EU). It happened closely to the time that Donald Trump was voted into the American White House. Both the people who voted for 'brexit' and the people who voted for DT were treated similarly, both groups were called many derogatory names for taking part in an election run and organised by their countries and for not voting a certain way: the way the media and the establishment wanted them to. For me brexit was an eye opener, I started to look at politics and the media in a very different way.
      I remember prior to the election in the US between Clinton and Trump, saying to my sister (who was over here visiting at the time from the US) 'How did your country end up with them two as the options?' because to me and from the little I knew then I did not think either was a good choice, my sister spoke to me about Obama, Clinton and Trump and why she was going to vote the way she was.
      Over here in the UK, most people liked Obama but if you were to ask anyone about any of his policies etc, they would not know, me included. I did take exception to him though when he came over here at the time of the brexit vote to talk to our then PM, he gave a press conference where he basically told the people of the UK we must vote to stay in the EU or we would be 'At the bottom of the list' from the US point of view, I heard a threat there and others did too, I did not take it kindly.
      After DT was voted into the WH, many of the people around me would talk about him in a very unpleasant manner, there were programmes about him and the media over here hated him. My daughter who in in uni learning performance had a class about him, yeah a British student who was doing music performance had a lesson about DT and about how his tweets were so divisive etc.
      I was caught off guard by a work mate who said how DT was the most divisive president America had ever had, I just said that I did not think that was true and then I had to put up with a rant about children in cages. I was not ready for that amount of passion from someone talking about an American politician where there had never been any in our country before. People over here HATED the president of the USA, what was behind it? I saw this change, and anyone on the right was now the enemy, I had to learn more.
      Now to clarify my political affiliation was always centre left, I had voted Labour most of my voting life but could see something wrong especially around brexit and although not a big fan of the conservatives felt I had to change the way I voted. Although Boris Johnson our present PM does say 'build back better' more times than I would like. I feel we have no-one over here in the world of politics who is truly on our side.
      I could see the difference in the way our media spoke about Donald Trump compared to other US leaders, I could see the affect of that on the people around me, the way people spoke, the way they acted, only the other day it came up in conversation that I liked Donald Trump as the president and bloody hell the reaction I got was astounding, yet you ask those same people about Bidens policies and not only do they not know, they don't care, that switch that had everyone so interested in the US president turned off along with our medias hate campaign. It really is amazing to witness.
      Through my learning experience of needing to know more, I have come to realise the two countries are tied together, what affects the US affects us, the US leaders policies in some crazy way influence ours and obviously the economic state of the US is crucial for all western countries although I would have argued against this not long ago. Ironically American freedom will decide ours.
      There are many more things I could say, I watch programmes like the LFR family because they are on a similar journey to me. I like to learn along with them and in some cases so I have an answer to counter with if I need them. This speech by RR is breathtaking I made my other half watch it too, I found it scary how relevant it is and made me more aware that we need leaders who think this way. I hope this answer is ok.

      The fact that he WAS an actor is actually incredibly important to Reagan's story. Being such a well-liked and positive human being, along with his keen intellect, he was elected to the presidency of the Screen Actor's Guild. The union for actors that was responsible for things like salaries, other compensation, and benefits for the Hollywood movie stars.
      It was here that he learned a diabolical truth: Hollywood is filled with communists, and EVERY union is filled with communists. You would think that something as frivolous as movies would not be that meaningful to a future statesman, but it was here that Reagan learned how communists, under the labels of "Socialist" and "Liberal" infiltrated and undermined organizations, and it was here that he learned that to stop them you have to expose them, shame them, and starve them of money. Get them out of the places of power or the organization will fall.
      This is how he rose to power in the GOP. This is the message that resonated with the American Voter, and these were the tools Reagan used to undermine the Evil Soviet Empire. The average politician today is completely clueless about how marxist cultural subversion works, they never had to deal with it in their industry.
      He certainly was more than just an actor, but being an actor may have helped him save the world.

You will hear Reagan in a 1964 speech for then-candidate for President, Barry Goldwater.

Wake up to the reality and vote accordingly in the next election.

As for Russia this only made them fear him more. It signaled to them that Reagan was not afraid to operate in an unconventional manner.

I served in uniform under his presidency and though it seemed during that time, war with the USSR was inevitable, it was through the strength of Margaret Thatcher and Pope John Paul II, led by Ronald Reagan that brought the Soviets to their knees, freeing the people enslaved behind the Iron Curtain.

Speeches don't run a country, his take on a few things in that speech were way off, the policies and rhetoric he allowed himself to believe coming from the right as he ran the country is what matters, not how eloquently he could give a speech.

    Before he entered politics, he was an actor and a radio broadcaster. That being said, his talent for speaking was just a tool he used. He wasn't an empty suit with a gift for gab. He was a serious thinker with strong convictions that were based on principles that he actually believed. So many politicians will do or say whatever they think will get them an extra vote. Reagan truly believed in the things he said and invited the people to join him rather than pandering to them.

    • @sunshynff
      @sunshynff 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      He might have started off that way, but are you sure he stuck to them? If he were to run today, as he ran in 1980, and 1984, he would have been kicked out of the current GOP for being a lefty commie. He proposed amnesty for all immigrants already here, legally or illegally, called for an open door policy between us and Mexico, was famously anti-gun, and passed sweeping anti-gun laws after Brady was shot. After 84 though, he changed his stance on boarder security to please the base, changed his mind about helping the needy and created the narrative still used today about welfare queens. He ran on small government and low taxes. After passing the largest tax cut of all time, he realized how bad he screwed up and had to raise taxes at least once in 1982, 1984, 1985, 1986 and 1987. And "the government" grew exponentially under his watch, except for corporations, Wall Street and big business, which ran amuck through the Clinton years culminating in 2008 mortgage bubble burst, although that had other factors, that led to that too, not blaming that entire recession on Reagan. IMO, that and several other policies and decisions he made impacted this country negatively in a deep long lasting way, and are one of the main reasons that our country has gone down the toilet the past 30yrs.
      And then there's always this tape of him talking to Nixon, that hasn't done him any favors as far as his legacy goes. .

He was also the last president that I have actually felt was genuine, not motivated to increase himself or using the office to gain advantage for his family and investments. I say your comment was strange because my dad says the exact opposite. He says that Ronald Reagan would change his stance according to what would get him votes, he says that's why he switched from Dem to Rep, because it was the best way for him to win political favor. My dad has been a dem all of his life, so I suppose he may have been a bit upset about Reagan switching up.

    I was born into a family that regularly spoke about politics and the day's issues. I remember Barry Goldwater, Huebert Humphry, L.B.J., and others. When I heard Ronald Reagan's speeches and was living the reality of the times, I became a died-in-the-wool Conservative and looked at every piece of legislation presented on a local, state, or federal level with the same skepticism I do today. Back then it required a visit to the local library where I learned to find the information and then look at the proposed legislation from the 'back side'. If you're wondering what the 'back side' is it's the laws that have to be removed to make way for the new law to pass judicial scrutiny. It's tantamount to saying "I don't trust politicians to tell the truth' their description of the legislation in question isn't to be trusted and they've rarely let me down. You get an insight into the minds of the authors of the legislation. It's so much easier today than it was way back then. I encourage everyone to take the time to find out for themselves without the media filters what any proposed legislation means to you and America's future. I pray God continues to bless America..

      "One gratifying aspect of our rise to some prominence is that, for the first time in my memory, we, ‘our side,’ had captured a crucial word from the enemy . . . ‘Libertarians’ . . . had long been simply a polite word for left-wing anarchists, that is for anti-private property anarchists, either of the communist or syndicalist variety.

      Dems fought for slavery, founded the KKK, they were responsible for Jim Crow laws, and as I've said were fervently against integration.

I'm doubly sure Democrats have said far worse things about African people. They just don't get caught doing it because they are protected by the Deep State.

      Reagan also banned high power assault weapons. he also signed laws for abortion. he also was found recorded calling Africans monkeys. Reagan destroyed the middle class the Reaganomics. he created the Taliban in al-Qaeda. he put drugs in the inner city which created The gangs was created crack kids was created lawlessness in the inner cities. so Reagan is the devil.

    Most of that 1963 speech could be applied to our country in 2022! It only took Regan 17 years from that speech to being elected as the President of these United States. I only hope the youth of today pull their heads out of their posterior before they vote!! Van, you are truly an example to those around you and those you touch through your YT channel in how to have an open mind, think for yourself/himself/herself and think of the consequences. If they don’t do those three things, Heaven help this great nation!! Thanks for sharing what you are learning with all you have contact with throughout our country…and the world!!
