I know Frank Reynolds was criticized for "losing it" over the report that James Brady had died. I totally disagree and my admiration for Reynolds increased. He referred to Brady as Jim which tells me they were friends.
He was just being a genuine human being I think. Something we rarely, if ever see these days. You only have to go back to Cronkites famous delivery of JFK's death. Thats is scorned now. So wrong.
@@OlafProt Chris Evans is good news now my right do you thinks you would feel like you just like soon we can do that tomorrow and time we will be back on Sunday and see you soon
Television is scripted, even in the news, that it is quite boring. But when something spontaneous happens on live television like with Frank Reynolds snapping at one of his assistants or producer, that was pure drama and great television.
Frank Reynolds and his wife were good friends with President and Nancy Reagan, so you can imagine what's going through his mind as he reported on the shooting. All of them classy, wonderful people, and our country is so much better for them having been here.

I was in 6th grade and we were on spring break. I was outside playing with friends (yes, kids actually played OUTSIDE back then, lol) and came into the house for lunch and saw it on TV. My grandmother, who was recovering from cataract surgery at the time, thought all the commotion on TV was actually the soap opera she watched daily and was complaining how they were adding all these characters she didn't know, lol. RIP grandma and President Reagan.
I was a junior in high school… on my way to tennis team practice, when the news came across the radio. Truly one of the most defining moments of my transition from a child to an adult. I am a total Democrat now but was so worried about President Reagan that day.
Besides the "Let's get it nailed down!" incident at 1 hour mark, Reynolds also lost his cool much earlier when he found out Reagan was hit. ABC brought in Sam Donaldson for awhile to help him report.
I was in 1st grade, Sacred Heart School in Knoxville, TN. What I remember is my teacher getting the class lined up, after the principal came to the classroom door. We were lined up, walked to the Church, and we all knelt in the front pew before St Joseph; one of my classmates said a prayer. I remember a TV camera there; I saw us on TV later that night.
I was in my final year of High School when our Principal’s voice came over the intercom system that the President was shot, we were then told to go home.
7th grade in jr high when our principal came on the PA and announced it, except we stayed in class as scheduled. We spent the rest of the day under a cloud.
I was delivering office supplies when this happened. I listened as I drove to KRLD radio, a Dallas station. In one of the offices where I made a delivery, a secretary had a mini TV where I was able to see the first video of the events. What an unbelievable event!
Frank Reynolds did a fantastic job. I understood his frustration. He’s sitting at a desk getting information from everywhere. It’s literally the job of others in the news room to make it 100% accurate before it goes live. Even those in the news room should get some leeway. However, Reynolds did a fantastic job! Great reporting!!
Chris Evans yes I can do like you do that did you talk tomorrow night now my soon day now my file me your house week we will go out for it and the do you did it all now just in time right after work and time
I was in kindergarten in south Texas when this happened. The teachers wheeled in a TV so we can watch the news live as it unfolded as well as the shooting replay over and over again. LOL As I'm watching this YT video I started researching those who were there when it happened and coincidentally learned that the Secret Service Agent holding the Uzi just had his memorial service held 2 days ago after passing on July 11, 2023. RIP Robert Steven Wanko.
I was home sick in bed was in HS and I heard Reagan was shot and Brady was dead then the flash that Brady was still alive and Renolds started to lose it on air
ABC producers brought Ted Koppel in immediately to calm him down. What a masterful performance by Reynolds...a former Marine demanding the best from his team. When the word finally came in on a note brought by a timid staffer that Reagan had indeed been shot, Reynolds uttered "My God...the President was hit" just before screaming at the whispering staffer "SPEAK UP!!!" What a story and what a fantastic display of journalistic leadership. Dan Rather on CBS was the opposite...confused and halting. He spent half an hour trying to minimize the President's injuries in an effort, I suspect, to minimize the mistake for CBS even at one point saying the President "was grazed" with no knowledge whatsoever of the severity of Reagan's wounds.
I don't blame Frank Reynolds for losing his cool. Broadcast journalism in 1981 prided itself on getting the news right and as accurate as possible, getting both sides of the story as mandated by the FCC under the old Fairness Doctrine (despite its mandate mainly being aimed at local TV station news broadcasts). Nowadays, they just don't care, thus why I refer to so-called "mainstream media" as "TASS Amerika".
I was 16 when this happened. Frank Reynolds was the best. I left school when I heard this ahppened to watch the news and I watched ABC all the way. And I am in Canada :(
That was WAY EARLIER when ABC first broke in with the LIVE SPECIAL ALERT. That part that you refer to, when Reynolds yells out, "SPEAK UP!" to a producer's aide is NOT in this long clip, but is on the clip that preceded this, which can be easily found here on You Tube. BCRadio
"The President, the Vice President, and the Secretary of State, in that order." Old Al needs to return his version of the constitution. It must be the Jehovah's Witness translation.
Haig had some future role in trying to negotiate a settlement when Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands in April 1982. He conducted shuttle diplomacy between Buenos Aires and London to try and prevent a war between Argentina and the UK (however war happened anyway and Argentina was expelled from the islands)
I was a freshman in high school when President Reagan was shot. I remember being pissed-off at that Hinckley dude, and lost it ... I Was taken to the enfermary for treatment.
Yep. I had been trying to find the full clip for years. TH-cam only ever had a brief snippet of the "Let's get it nailed down" line (in the news special retrospective on Reynolds' life after his passing in '83). Really great / rare stuff here from the uploader.
I always felt a little bad for Haig, He was obviously under a lot of stress, and I believe he was trying to describe the current White House chain-of-command, not the presidential succession. And kudos to Barrie Dunsmore for making that salient point.
I was in my 5th grade class when suddenly someone rolled in the TV and showed us the coverage of President Regan 😞. It was during Math time . I was sadly happy.
While all this was going on, (According to the film "Saving Ronald Reagan") the SAC Forces were ordered in their aircraft with their engines started and the ICBM and SLBM Forces to standby for further orders in the event that the attempted assassination of President Reagan was a precursor to a nuclear attack on the US from the Soviet Union.
For a while after being shot, the time error is reflected as a horizontal shake of the image. It is a mark that a strong impact was given to VTR. It didn't break well. made in Japan?
The idiot Hinkley was a guy who came from Hawaii and had an obsession with actress Jodie Foster after seeing her in the 1980 film “Foxes” he was calling her at her college constantly etc . He shot at Regan to prove he was worthy of her love . Foster was questioned and in courts . She didn’t know Hinckley personally at all . A crazy fan who thought this is how he could impress and win the heart of Jodie Foster who was attending College at this time. She had some of the calls recorded.
Early reports always get something wrong ---a rock 'n' roll station in Dallas kept cutting in with bulletins between tunes and reported that LBJ had been hit in the JFK motorcade
It was in fact a Houston station of which I mentioned a recollection -so much wholly erroneous conspiracy fodder that it sounds fabricated, like something that Ollie Stone cooked up (a M/F tandem with a long gun seen running from the Triple Overpass; oh, my!)...th-cam.com/video/DWH5SYUX1xY/w-d-xo.html
About a hour afterward recently former Chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee , U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy was put in a safe house guarded by 4 times the normal amount of The U.S. Capitol Police .This means people knew who was behind it and it was a coup d'état , some people even said it would happen and warned Reagan when he picked Bush. As Chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee , nobody would know more then Ted Kennedy who was working for who ,and figured out what was going on the second he heard Reagan was shot...inside the Situation room (Intelligence Management Center) when Secretary of State Alexander Haig put himself in charge, he thought New York was nuked by the Russains ,he was looking for the nuclear football, which went missing, the phones were out, they looked for Reagan's wallet for his nuclear codes...
I was half asleep when i popped straight up when they reported that Jim Brady had died. WTF? Now im wide awake waiting for them to get it right. Major screw up. Frank just got quite pissed. What a mess....
Him and Peter Jennings remind me off each other. The both weren't shy with their emotions. Yeah, they both would get pissed at technical glitches or when they were given inaccurate information...like being told someone is dead, reporting it on air to the shock and horror of loved ones etc, then having to look like an idiot for misreporting it. Frank was tense as hell as it was..rightly so given the shooting.
Imagine if Hinckley had been successful, and the IRA had been successful with Thatcher. What a different world we'd be living in now. 3:28 what a great and brave man, just chucking that at the gun lobby. The slow motion film is quite unsettling, we talk about todays social media being intrusive etc but it really wasn't any different back then. The video cameras kept rolling, the cameras kept clicking.
He was only animated and irritated but UNHINGED? NO I DO NOT THINK SO. He wants accurate reporting so there is nothing wrong with that. He is only human so give him a break.
And now Hinkley can enjoy the rest of his life as a free man. I guess Jim Brady's life didnt mean squat. Enjoy the rest of your life and just take ur meds johnny. American justice at its best.
Really? Sad. I was in high school in Miami. Catholic school moslty Cuban American. Alot of people cried and were very upset. Guess immigrants are more patriotic.
What i never thought about until the movie came out in 2001 I just watched was the Bushs were close friends with the Hinckleys , The Hinckleys and the Bushes have been friendly for decades, going back to the days when both families set down stakes in the dusty town of Midland, Texas. The Hinckleys were donors to Poppy Bush’s political campaigns over the years, and they gave to support the first, unsuccessful bid for Congress of the young George W. Bush, in 1978. The families lived close to each other, they socialized; I saw indications that, at one point, they may have shared the same lawyer,Here’s an amazing example: Bush Senior, known to family and friends as “Poppy,” claimed he could not remember where he was when he heard that President John F. Kennedy had been shot. I discovered a good reason why he should have remembered - because he, himself, had been in Dallas that morning.I also learned that Poppy Bush was a longtime acquaintance/friend of George de Mohrenschildt, the mysterious Russian “baron” who was perhaps the closest person to Lee Harvey Oswald in the year before Kennedy’s death. it was so clear the news paper ran it, what happened in the Whitehouse while he was in the hospital? I'm not sure if people know about this, the Secretary of State took control? who is fourth in line of succession after the Vice President, the Speaker of the House, and the President pro tempore of the Senate. Then he was looking for the nuclear football, which went missing, the phones were out, they looked for Reagan's wallet for his nuclear codes, and we almost fired nukes at Russia because we didn't have comms with NORAD and they just happened to run an incoming nuclear missile drill right after he was shot, which we had a hard time talking to the Soviets to find out if it was real, the Secretary of Defence put us at DEFON 3, this was a coup d'état power grab with some of the same names involved with JFK, and they almost pulled it off...the news papers really ran Bushs family close ties to Hinckleys they show it in the movie, they lied about everything , Reagan was not ok..he was clinging to life, the backfire was so bad Bush wouldn't take the 25th and take control when the president was really under anesthesia for days, the bullet was next to his heart, and it was an explosive shell that didn't explode , they desiced not to tell the doctors until the last minute , which they have to bring in a man in a bomb suit and a container to take the bullet out of the hospital. The FBI had Hinckley on a short watch list, which they never handed over to the Secret Service, The FBI was in charge of closing off the floor, but another man made it to the bed of Reagan when he was out cold, the FBI said "he worked there" but that was never proven or looked into or the man arrested, I just learned all this 2 days ago and I'm baffled by it all, Even more strangely, Neil Bush, son of the vice president, was scheduled to have dinner with Hinckley’s brother, Scott, the day after the shooting. th-cam.com/video/cXBZ2oU_Njo/w-d-xo.html that's the movie..so shocking..
The fact they lowered the dosage of his meds so he could take a picture, which took 100 times to get a good picture , while they made Nancy prop up his head..is just sick and sad.

Ted Koppel is also a broadcasting legend.
Frank Reynolds shows his personal feelings throughout this. I admired him for his struggle to maintain composure.
Socialists/Communists tried to kill him. They were successful with Kennedy.
Ted Koppel is the most underrated journalist ever.
24 months later, Broadcaster Frank Reynolds died of cancer. When he first received the diagnosis, 3 months later dead.
oh wow,, what is life
Rest in peace Frank Reynolds ❤

Thankfully this didn't kill President Reagan but it certainly killed Secretary of State Alexander Haig career

He conducted shuttle diplomacy between Buenos Aires and London to try and prevent a war between Argentina and the UK (however war happened anyway and Argentina was expelled from the islands)
1:00:32 !Let's get it nailed down!" Something I seek to do as a news reporter just as Frank was here in Indiana!
I was only 2yrs old when this happened and I could only wonder how the nation felt not knowing if the POTUS was alive or dead?
I've only ever seen Haig's misspeaking episode on the TV movie The Day Reagan Was Shot. This is the first time I've ever seen the actual moment
He said I am IN CONTROL not I AM IN CHARGE HERE.
I always see Reagan himself laughing at Frank Reynolds in my mind.
I was a freshman in high school when President Reagan was shot. I remember being pissed-off at that Hinckley dude, and lost it ... I Was taken to the enfermary for treatment.
3min in Gerald Ford had two attempts on his life both in Northern California
RIP, Buckwheat.
How did he die? Let's have a look!

Don't recall seeing the clip of Frank blowing up after learning the report about James Brady dying was incorrect on TH-cam before.
Yep. I had been trying to find the full clip for years. TH-cam only ever had a brief snippet of the "Let's get it nailed down" line (in the news special retrospective on Reynolds' life after his passing in '83). Really great / rare stuff here from the uploader.
At 59:56 to be exact, that narrative is stated here in it's full uncut version.

Simpson was absolutely auditioning to replace Brady.
Initial confusion. When it happened, I was in school, first grade. It was also my seventh birthday.
I got to meet Mr Brady several different times over the years . He would occasionally come into the hospital I work at for x-rays .
I always felt a little bad for Haig, He was obviously under a lot of stress, and I believe he was trying to describe the current White House chain-of-command, not the presidential succession. And kudos to Barrie Dunsmore for making that salient point.

I have to change the past as a baby as a 3 months in 1981.
The idiot Hinkley was a guy who came from Hawaii and had an obsession with actress Jodie Foster after seeing her in the 1980 film “Foxes” he was calling her at her college constantly etc . He shot at Regan to prove he was worthy of her love . Foster was questioned and in courts . She didn’t know Hinckley personally at all . A crazy fan who thought this is how he could impress and win the heart of Jodie Foster who was attending College at this time. She had some of the calls recorded.
Hinckley stalked President Carter before he lost the 1980 election, then he stalked President Reagan. His attack was thus well-planned.
The movie was Taxi Driver.
Yes that was why he shot Reagan but now it has been a year since he was released from prison and he said he was sorry for what he did in 1981.
Early reports always get something wrong ---a rock 'n' roll station in Dallas kept cutting in with bulletins between tunes and reported that LBJ had been hit in the JFK motorcade
LBJ was shot and had a heart attack according to inaccurate reports because he was holding his arm when going into Parkland Hospital.

I'm not sure if people know about this, the Secretary of State took control? who is fourth in line of succession after the Vice President, the Speaker of the House, and the President pro tempore of the Senate. Then he was looking for the nuclear football, which went missing, the phones were out, they looked for Reagan's wallet for his nuclear codes, and we almost fired nukes at Russia because we didn't have comms with NORAD and they just happened to run an incoming nuclear missile drill right after he was shot, which we had a hard time talking to the Soviets to find out if it was real, the Secretary of Defence put us at DEFON 3, this was a coup d'état power grab with some of the same names involved with JFK, and they almost pulled it off...the news papers really ran Bushs family close ties to Hinckleys they show it in the movie, they lied about everything , Reagan was not ok..he was clinging to life, the backfire was so bad Bush wouldn't take the 25th and take control when the president was really under anesthesia for days, the bullet was next to his heart, and it was an explosive shell that didn't explode , they desiced not to tell the doctors until the last minute , which they have to bring in a man in a bomb suit and a container to take the bullet out of the hospital. The FBI had Hinckley on a short watch list, which they never handed over to the Secret Service, The FBI was in charge of closing off the floor, but another man made it to the bed of Reagan when he was out cold, the FBI said "he worked there" but that was never proven or looked into or the man arrested, I just learned all this 2 days ago and I'm baffled by it all, Even more strangely, Neil Bush, son of the vice president, was scheduled to have dinner with Hinckley’s brother, Scott, the day after the shooting. th-cam.com/video/cXBZ2oU_Njo/w-d-xo.html that's the movie..so shocking..
The fact they lowered the dosage of his meds so he could take a picture, which took 100 times to get a good picture , while they made Nancy prop up his head..is just sick and sad.
Did you see the FBI agent pull the guy they were interviewing by his jacket"Hey hold up" and cut?
Holy mother load...they increased security on the Kennedys
