    I was thinking that same thing dwass, Reagan was so sharp all the way through his presidency. I will admit I feel a bit sorry for Joe Biden, but I feel much worse for the U.S., with him as our current president. He has become an even more ineffective, and damaging president than we Republicans (also many Democrats), ever expected.

    Whatever his flaws may have been, this man affected my life deeply and positively. I had been a young working adult just out of high school under Jimmy Carter. Carter made me and others feel defeated, and that sky high inflation, interest rates, and fuel shortages were the "new normal" that we all had to adjust to. The country was in a sullen and defeated mood. Carter was a good man, but he told us all essentially to just get used to it. Joe Biden today reminds me very much of Jimmy Carter, minus Carter's good works on humanitarian causes. By contrast to Carter, Biden just seems venal. When Reagan took office, the mood of the country changed overnight. He was a master communicator, unrivaled since except perhaps by Bill Clinton. Reagan made us think anything was possible, because he really believed it was. He made us proud to be Americans again, largely by example. He didn't require huge rallies with choreographed music or hats with printed slogans to do it, either. He simply exuded confidence in his American vision whenever he spoke. With this new confidence, I married, started my first business, and bought my first house. My wife and I both invested in improving our education, which paid off for decades to come. My work took me to a number of foreign countries, and how I was treated as a visiting American dramatically changed for the better when Reagan took office. Reagan may not have been correct about everything, but he spent eight years as our National Cheerleader, which is a major part of the role of our President. I actually feel sorry for those too young to have known life under his presidency. I'm glad I didn't miss it.

    I remember that "overnight" positive change in the atmosphere of people's outlook, soon after Reagan took office. Even the culture seemed to change; the U.S. became energized with activity & progress, the stock market did very well (overall); hand in hand with the progress, people were constantly entering business ventures with confidence of economic success, etc. It wasn't all perfect, but Reagan understand basically how the country could work well, economically. I also admired Reagan for his anti "big government" beliefs; he had no illusions about government's desire for power & the over reaches of power government is capable of. I also believe he was a decent, warm & humanitarian person, character traits I would wish to return in presidents & politicians.

    Carter was a good president, who was handed an inflationary economy, and hired Federal Reserve Chairman- Paul Volcker, which had helped to stop inflation. Carter was intelligent, and had very high morals. Carter was weak, when it came to Iran, and the hostages. Reagan was intelligent, eloquent in speaking and jocular, always joking around. Reagan's one mistake was to Iran-Contra Affair, having the CIA and Oliver North fight off communism in Nicaragua, supporting the Sandinista's, using the funding from the sale of weapons and drugs. Biden is absolutely no Carter. Biden may be the worst president in U.S. history.

    Well, he had early Alzheimers during this interview. Whoever is in office, we don’t need any kind of Iran-Contra type events occurring. Allegedly, he would just sign off on whatever was put in front of him by his staff (and numerous times at that). His advisors were even caught shredding documents on this whole ordeal, trying to make the whole thing disappear. Even if he really didn’t remember any of this like he claimed, it’s still something we don’t need today… there’s enough scandal. What we need is a young president (one below retirement age)… someone who understands the economic and societal struggles that new generations face, one with very little grey hair, great bedside manner (like Reagan in that way), someone that can unite this country, help the poor, help industries/corporations thrive… someone that sets all of us up for success in the future.

If you watch when the camera cuts to Brokaw his demeanor, his body language, he refused to appreciate the honor of interviewing President Reagan. Oh he said the appropriate words, but there is no mistaking his hating every minute of allowing President Reagan the opportunity to answer, and speak as he so desired. Brokaw, refused to respond in a positive way towards his slight jokes. It is typical of the leftists, and the media especially, to maintain a demeanor of having a higher intellect, and moral superiority over everyone who does not believe and practice what they believe and practice. And so, they were and still are a miserable bunch, lacking in even decent character.

    I’m sure there is his like in the presidential field… it’s the choices of those around current candidates that prevent them from gaining the position to enact their grace. Not sure of your politics, but I thought Obama was a good statesman, unpleasant drone strikes he authorised & such aside 💜🖤🧡 (I’m an English man btw so no involvement with US presidents is applicable, but I feel the same way about my country’s current politics i.e. we’re facing more time with goober-brain Rishi Sunak, a useless walking toilet, though he did grant me some financial assistance, but that small boon pales in comparison to his around 90% inadequacy)

What amazes me is how he found his success and how he became President of The United States. On minute 2:43, I wonder what happened to his left hand. Overall, very inspiring individual and I came from absolutely nothing in Vladivostok, Russia and I was adopted into a wonderful Ukrianian-Hungarian American family.

    In short, reagan became extremely wealthy after failing as an actor by being a paid spokesperson by corporations like GE, Coors, and Bloomingdale’s. He sold out his people by being a union president of the MCA and speaking for corporations, a conflict of interest: RFK the attorney general at the time subpoenaed Reagan’s taxes and that is partially why he left the Democratic Party. He was pissed at RFK:

    It is a good thing that this man is growing in appreciation. He is the definition of honorable. His popularity at the time of his presidency was volatile. At the time of his attempted assassination the country came together in shock and American flags were flown everywhere. Later, his presidency was rocked because of the hearings on the Nicaraguan issue. At the end, he was often derided for his impending dementia. All irrelevant when compared to the good and advantageous things which occurred from his work in the office. Seeing this interview I now see what a gentle good heart he had.

Add to that, investigations into every aspect of his life, even going after his family! Had this not have happened,Trump would’ve gotten off to a very different start!
