President Reagan's Address to British Parliament, June 8, 1982 

I'm from Canada!! I think VOMIT is more appropriate!!!!!

Of course he's using a teleprompter you idiot.

He was trained in acting to make you feel safe. He was right on some things. Unfortunately he was also on the wrong side of a lot of issues. Especially "trickle down" economics.

He was a slave to Britain and a pedophile.

Sic transit

See those clear things in front of him? Those are a type of teleprompters. Presidents aren't supposed to veer off the prompter. Every word is carefully crafted. One word out of order could set off a war. So, yes, even Ronnie had a prompter.

@@dannyd1572 They were switched off, according to research I've found. Plus you see him periodically looking down at his notes on the podium.

You don't need a teleprompter when you speak from the heart, you only need one when you're full of shit.

No yelling for emphasis. No looking into the camera to scold you.

​@@annfrost3323 Or sniffing little girls hair.

Absolutely...I am very fortunate to have had President Reagan as my Commander in Chief, 80-83 Army!!

Just listening to President Ronald Reagan made you feel safe Every future president should listen to the speeches of President Ronald Reagan one of the great orators of our time. His concern was for America first and always not just filling spaces up with minorities and women, people who don't know how what they're doing, who have no substance.🇺🇲

@@Fireball9394 &i9

We did. His name was Obama. It's not about corrupt socialism political parties that only wants your money but about someone who never changed who he was before 50 and after 50. Reagan changed political parties after he turned 50 because of jobs were drying up in the entertainment era for him. His fought for the democratic party until 50, then switched party platforms. He tried to destroy the middle class but never did

Me to gone to soon the Best President

Yes, he is an actor

He was a great communicator and orator

@@BethyKable Yes , he was ! I confess I did not like Ronald Reagan 's policy but I must say he was a great communicator and orator and largerly superior to Donald Trump .

I am an Italian man , 59 years old . I must confess I never liked Mr.Reagan's policy , but recently I found out he was a superb orator. I regret my English is not good enough for understanding the main speeches of the last American Presidents but may be he was the better . Despite Mr Trump is a Republican like Reagan , there is an abyss between them. Reagan is,by far the better. Sorry for my broken English.

@@BethyKable I guess if you've never been exposed to greatness you might imagine so. He was an empty shell. When he was found to have Alzheimer's the running joke was , "How could they tell"?

And leftist idiots in the media called Reagan a dumb former actor. He was actually extremely smart and insightful and even more importantly, he had the ability to boil down complex issues and explain them in a simple way that everyone could process and understand. He was a tremendous communicator.. God Bless you Ronald Wilson Reagan.

Wish we had him now.

Yes, what amazing peas of history.

My all-time favorite president, whom I had the pleasure of proudly casting my first vote for President! 🤗

@@zefdin101 never worry about what ignorant comments leftist make.

Yet they gave Carter and Obama Nobel Peace Prizes.

I agree...with the use of scare quotes.

No, he was the Greatest!

YES HE WAS A LEGEND

Yes he was the GREATEST!!!!!❤

He is the greatest President of all times

I love the part about Soviet forces also facing east to keep their people in. 14:45.

I feel sorry for the Trumpers who don't remember what a statesman looks and behaves like. 😪

@@iignorerepliesfrombores4010 true but Trump did make great moves as our president to advance us and our standing in the world. Now let's just hope the democrats don't destroy that like they always do.

@@iignorerepliesfrombores4010 Different people for different times. Not sure if Reagan would be able to deal with Americans who don't want tò be Americans and would prefer totalitarianism if they can be taken care of by mother government.

@@hmanuel7138 I'm glad he didn't live to see what the US has become.

Absolutely!

Amen

I bet you don't live in Poland.

Trump would be on the Soviet Unions side. He'd be on the side of a certain little man with a moustache if he was around back then.

@@lauralishes1 that may be one of the most uneducated, moronic things I ever heard. Go read a history book.

Very true. But he was literally an actor so maybe no surprise.

@@benedicthampus4964 In terms of style and intonation that does explain, in terms of dignity and sense it doesn´t.

@@benedicthampus4964 ⁹on this page and I have not yet heard anything back

No, he was one of the most crooked leaders in modern history.

As a kid in Britain, my parents hadhired Prince Andrew for me to look up to.

Funny thing is that I admired Mrs Thatcher at the same time. I'm in the US. 🇺🇲🇬🇧

​@@GodChild63 Mr Churchill was a great man.

You are far too modest to be sure, you say this speech,.. I say listen to pretty much anyone of his speeches, it's hard to acknowledge that any of his speeches were all anything but if nothing short of great.

T Mel. You made that more complicated than necessary.

Without the Scots and the Irish here in the beginning we would have been doomed to a loss to the British. Question government and keep the misfits at bay.

My Scottish friend. The enemy of my enemy is also my friend.

The masses if I may say don't like the truth. It's far too compelling therefore, ignored in its entirety. I hope that helps you to understand. Reagan spoke the truth he was for the people, not sure about his acting career, but as president even governor of California how fortunate we are to have had him in our lifetime.

The press was the same then as they are now! Marxist!!!! They hated him as much as Trump! They called him ReGun!!!

President Clinton was also a good speaker.

Probably his speech fluidity is from his acting history Actors memorize scripts and lengthy monologues

@@judgedredd3568 agreed, they do memorize long scripts and monologues. However those are made up. This is a thing called real life, I can't find anything that he said to refute. Let the truth be known.

@@sur-real3416 I meant no disrespect to our former President I was just saying his speaking skills were probably helped due to the fact that as an actor he knew how to clearly project his thoughts and views I loved President Reagan The best we ever had Would never say a bad word about him

@@judgedredd3568 sorry to have come off that way. I feel like my comment may have been intended for another.

Reagan would NEVER have cut and run, handing the most sofisticated and expensive weapons built up by Donald Trump to Islamofacist Terrorists.

He's using the teleprompter

Funny. JBiden can't even follow a teleprompter beyond a Three word sentence. But he's has the highest electoral votes in history???

@@monkeywkeys3916 funny to think votes change anything be it electoral or popular. "If voting changed anything, they'd make it illegal" -emma goldman

He was an actor before getting into politics. Memorizing scripts is part of an actor's job.

@@monkeywkeys3916 🤣🤣🤣

I have the greatest admiration for this man. And that's just what he was. A very special man.. Peace keeper.

I agree with you 💯 my friend

Greatest President

He was a very good actor. But I agree that times seemed better back then.

@@marksolomonify he was not an actor?

Ron desantis

@@benedicthampus4964 seemed better.. They were a million x better and YOU no the main reason why..

Just make Trump elected again

What? No courage whatsoever. The US was at war with the USSR since the midpoint of WW2. I grew up in a Cold War country, constantly in conflict with it.

@@princeandrey You're wrong. After the 70s it was normal to downplay the communist threat and to put a blanket on the Communists crimes.

@@francescorossi3796 fuck u imbecil

@@guillemrivera2617 Don' t call me with your name! Idiots like you are responsible for the beginning of the destruction of America we see today.

@@princeandrey I'm no political scientist, but the cold war was created by the rich white land owning racist you can beat your wife with a stick so long as it's not bigger than your thumb leaders of this country.

Really? what about Frnaklin Roosevelt ?

AGREED, 💯 %

@@mharg6408 definitely not. Mostly good leadership during WWII though.

@@robertortiz-wilson1588 But RR didn't suffer a world economic crisis like Roosevelt, Franklin response and the New Deal was good, too much better than Reagan.

@@mharg6408 Franklin Roosevelt under threat of prison forced Americans to turn in all their gold coins. Then when the govt got all they could they then raised the price of gold. Not to mention putting over 100,000 innocent Americans in concentration camps.

"Self-delusion in the face of unpleasant facts is folly." (10:00). Wish I could loop that and override all the cable news-porn channels, (as well of most of RU-vid).

You were lucky and weren't of working age, stuck in his poverty wage nightmare.

@@keithhyttinen8275 He seemed to see America through rose tinted specs and ignored the poverty and the AIDS epidemic or was just blind

@keith and Optimus. Well my mother of foreign birth raised three teens by herself in the 80’s. My brother and I both worked PT jobs while still in high school. My pops died in 82. We did not have all we wanted but we had what we needed. We all graduated and all went to college without government assistance. Is it hard, yes it is but it is all about choices partners.

Wise statesman whose Alzheimer's diagnosis merely confirmed what had always been evident. He was a Grade B actor, but that was sufficient to hoodwink the unwary, I suppose!

And humour. He could punctuate a meaningful speech with a self deprecating joke and suddenly ,he briefly wasn't the leader of the free world. He became one of us 👍

@@khylerin70 I would say, he in fact was one of us. Him and Nancy both. Then he became leader of the free world, possibly the greatest leader this free country has ever known.

Wit hair like dat….he couldn’t miss…it’s like cake! And that voice of smoky timber!? Fiuugaaaaaatbadit

Yes, peace freedoms love and glory to God. Agreed. But then there are haters, unbelievers, people who reject what is decent righteous and good. God sets the standard and we as human fall miserably short of that. This may come off as an extreme example but I hope it's understood as intended. The example being from the perspective of a God loving person. It is not wrong to kill, it is wrong to murder. Righteous justification demands, not always being nice to your neighbor. So what I mean is, not to commit violence on anyone, but rather just to let the truth be known, we can all have differences we can agree to disagree, but there are fundamental truths that should be and sometimes need to be established and not let ignorance and foolish hate with no basis try and run anything.

Excellent way to put it!

Rainey. Aye,aye 100% !

You can see the teleprompter that he is using.

My feeling of true respect for a setting President is his leadership of our country. I am glad Mr President Reagan touched so many lives and embraced humanity...

So you voted for Carter.

There's no such thing as a democrat that loves America

Reagan was a strong focused determined man. He was not weak and frail like Biden Jimmy Carter, Clinton, Lyndon Johnson. Policies don't define Reagan. The American People knew where he stood. Americans had pride in thrir country. What do we have now the HA HA HA HA HA HA Kamala person and old, frail, falling off the bike Biden. Keep your Democrat Party..

He's using the teleprompter that you can see in the video.

Yet could still reach across the aisle. Unlike today's lackey weak republican house. And kept his goals in the forefront.

People like him don't go into politics anymore. They know better.

Trump came too close. Why he was demonized.

We have been respected by humility and honor of good man and President...

@@iignorerepliesfrombores4010 I believe you're right, they know their capabilities & ideas would be wasted & not appreciated (if even acknowledged). But running the country should not be a children's activity, & requires the kind of attributes of a wise & strong leader, as President Reagan was.

Greetings from the state of Kansas, right in the geographic center of the USA, and may God guide your actions and light your path. For my entire life, Africa has been known here in the West as a place of endless misery, eternal war, constant tyranny and bottomless injustice. Africa deserves better. As someone who believes that *all* humanity has the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, I sincerely pray for your success. May God grant the wisdom to know what is right, and the courage to do what is right, to you and to others like you.

Soft spoken with good ideas to make USA move ahead as a global economicaly strong nation

God chosen President 😎

Like Donald Trump

@@Schlomothebest EXACTLY.

Shoddy goods acting as "First Class"!

@@princeandrey You sound like you are upset with him thinking of the the people and not just you.

I was a 7 years old English lad when he made this speech, at that time every child I knew wished they lived in America, everyone was amazed and loved what we saw on television of your country. Now all I see is violence, poverty and the rise of an Orwellian type of socialism........ But too be fair, that's endemic to all the western democracies not just America.

Yeah Trump fucked everything.

He helped us to get here. He signed away more of our rights to protect ourselves from tyrannical g0vt, than any president ij US history! He signed tons of serious anti-2A legislation into law.

He Had great Wisdom from God Himself that people misunderstood no matter what Country they were From! His Challenge were Real to the Communist government! He knew Freedom would rain like a Great Storm! ✝️❤🦅🕊

He was Loved because he always gave God His Glory ✝️🇺🇸🕊

Helmut Schmidt was the first I voted for as a 20 year old man. And what do we have today in Germany...............Mr. Scholz

The difference are the speechwriters of the time. All Presidents' speeches in the modern era are written by professional speechwriters on their staff. If Reagan's writers had written a speech for President Trump, the speech content would have been phrased and couched the same, but the pronunciation and elocution of course would not have been the same. After all, President Reagan was a trained actor prior to his political career and had nearly perfect diction. As for Biden? He keeps introducing himself as the "husband of Joe Biden" and has no idea where he is half the time, stammers, stutters, mispronounces simple words, and can't even read simple notes in front of him, so no, a man suffering from full-blown dementia would never sound like President Reagan.

@@centerice Agreed!

Lol. Certainly not Biden. The man can’t even function with a teleprompter.

@@nouser129 Or even with one: still not able to function. Time to go Joe . . .

@@centerice Well said

You sure said that right Andrew.

He never saw action in WWII he could not pass the eye exam however since he was an actor he made over 70 training videos for the army,navy and army air corps. You said it right my friend he was a great man and someone we need today!!

Absolutely.

You're a liar, he never fought in the war. Learn your facts idiots.

He was the BEST.

😄😅😅😂😂😂👍👍👍 Read your comment and I literally laughed out loud no joke.

World and USA would be better if Biden and the Democrats would heed to the voice and words of this President .

No he can't even stand up smdh

He did inherit one, it took years to fix it and it did get worse before it got better. But it did get better.

He sure did, why we voted him in

You didn’t vote for the orange guy hopefully. Today’s Republican Party is not like it was when Reagan was in office.

The left would find something to complain about and say that he didn't speak enough on Trans or didn't tip his hat to LGBTQ OR DIDN'T APPOINT ENOUGH OLD BLACK WOMEN TO HIS CABINET. PLUS THEY WOULD PROBABLY WALK OUT.

Agree. Trump sucks.

It will never happen because the political parties don't want to get along Dianne Feinstein is no longer on a committee because she gave a hug to a senator in the Republican party

@@coryburns9161 Sounds like she knows the "Green New Deal" is garbage.

@@monkeywkeys3916 As is the so called Grand old party.

And how would you say that is true? Upon entering the Presidency, he cut the housing budget by more than 25% I'm not sure he was a President for the people. Perhaps from the very rich people, of whom I presume you are one, since you hold him in such high regard.

@@princeandrey you don't know what you are talking about he fixed it

Eloquence has it's place, but actions speak louder than words.

Yes Sir I agree, India and other countries will also agree. Bless you...

CORRECTION, there were only Biden staff stating questions. Didn't even have to take notes.

Only interested in the minority because he thinks they're going to make him win a second term I got news for him he's not going to run and if he does he's not going to win and there goes Kamala with him. . We need another Ronald Reagan who truly loved the United States of America and love being president.

President Reagan and Margaret Thatcher were a very good team especially during the Falkland war...

And God Bless Nancy

THANK YOU!! I'll vomit if I hear one more "Trump, best prez ever!" 😬

@@iignorerepliesfrombores4010 Trp best Prez ever. Couldn't resist. Sorry.

@@honeybee9161 🤮

Thank you for your memories of really good men of America...

Followed by Donald Trump until he was forced out.

@@cynthiastogden7000 shameful that you compare such a poor excuse of a human being to such a great person as Reagan.

Absolutely agree with you. The current leaders are pygmies compared to President Reagan and Margaret Thatcher.

@@mscott3918 couldn't agree more

You were robbed of an outstandingly fine example of statesmanship.

What appears as self delusion is nothing but the disguised articulation of the real reason to vote left: hatred for America amd especially for D. Trump

I admire President Reagan more and more as my years go by. His speeches show me that he had a grasp, a strong, clear GRASP! Of the challenges then and now, of the stark differences between a representative form of government and totalitarianism - a word on he often used. In today's fleeting flux, will nations retain sovereignty, or be submissive to the one world totalitarianism, written about in Agenda 21, Agenda 2030 and A50/70, and similar documents and in the words of elites, rulers, 'the select,' the gatekeepers, the powerfully wealthy, and the ridiculous radicals of the leftist left, the bereft! Etc etc.

@@mazmonte77 hatred for America, wow that sounds like a political speech rally in any Muslim nation who hates America and cries that outwardly makes it well known. There's a beautiful thing we have in America here it's called freedom, and you have the freedom to live anywhere else and leave this country. And although Trump is a poor excuse for a human being, I do have to admit that God will use imperfect people for his perfect plan. Chew on that one.

@@sur-real3416 did u understand what I said?? I stated that the LEFT hates America. And clearly indicated that I don't subscribe to what they believe. That hatred is , like I said, intellectually disguised( meaning they don't always express it out loud, except when they are rallying with antifa). This is what I said and meant . Where in those words do you find that I don't love or care the for freedom or America ?? Especially now that we lost 13 lives thanks to the moron in the white house we need people who can , at least, understand what they read.

@@mazmonte77 apologies for misunderstanding. The buffoon running this country right now I just don't have words. I am saddened and disheartened.
