Win One For The Gipper | Knute Rockne: All American | Warner Archive 

He said that in one of his election speeches

That's why I looked this up!

If it hadn’t been for that sewer rat Bush Sr. I’d say Reagan could have won a third term easily. It hadn’t been all that long since FDR got elected to four terms and I think if he wasn’t such a great believer in the American system and had decided to challenge the 22nd amendment the country would have gladly had him back for a third term…but alas we got Mr. foreign intervention and warrantless wiretaps himself, and the saddest part is Reagan didn’t really like Bush Sr. That Much, Reagan was far more nationalist and as such very non-interventionist in foreign matters when compared to Bush and his love of using illegal surveillance and the US military to better his own and his weird, ultra rich friends’ lives. The only reason Bush 41 was elected was because of the good will Reagan had earned from the American people. To think we had a Republican in office just 6 years after Richard Nixon was caught for all the awful, corrupt things he did, and that man did so much good the American people elected a different member of that same party when Ronnie’s 8 years were up. Sadly all that good will went kaput with Bush’s 1 term presidency in which he got us heavily involved in an ongoing middle eastern conflict that we’re still in, to a lesser extent, today. I think the two party, flip “control” every 4-8 years system could have finally been surpassed if Reagan’s successor had been half the man he was. Instead we got 4 globalist puppets in a row in GB-41, then the greasy, lying, murdering perv Billy C, then GWB-43 who ended up being a puppet of his father who is a puppet of the globalists, and finally Barracks OBambo…the biggest fake of all, and one of the biggest instances of using race as a manipulation tactic in modern history. This led us to desperation and we chose Donald Trump, a man who I voted for because he had similar political ideals to Reagan, but he also had a huge ego that got in the way of every positive thing he could have done, and has very little class, couth, suave and all the other little things that made Reagan a great leader. Now we have A literal human skin sack that is a just a palatable figurehead for the most extremist, pro socialist, covert totalitarian congress We’ve ever seen. Sorry for the rant, I just really wish things had gone another way the last 29 years I’ve been alive. Nobody can say literally everything would be better if the past could be changed, but I’m certain if we’d had a third term with Reagan and then another strong, unabashedly pro-freedom candidate like Ron Paul had won his endorsement and led our country into the 21st century we would not have had troops in the middle east for over 20 years straight, we would not have had an ongoing “pandemic”, and we sure wouldn’t be seeing a 30% increase in cost of living in 12 months with zero positive GDP growth like we are now.

It wasn't just some line from a movie George Gipp was a real man who played for Rockne and died of strep and pneumonia, Reagan didn't just take a line from some movie, he became popular off of a dying man's final words.

Reagan was a shitty actor (Even in the Gipp scene he’s awful, he looks like he’s about to smile at Rockne like a child i front of the camera for the first time) and a cynical political opportunist. But he was in 2 good films (Kings Row, KRAA), which is more than I can say for the rest of us. We can thank him for the rise of the foul-smelling “religious right” who want nothing more than to wipe out the separation of church and state and make women and girls die of pregnancy or raise kids they resent being made to bear, but yay, go ron… (I’d say that I wish hinckley was a better shot, but HW Bush wouldn’t have been any better than Reagan, as evidenced by his appointment of Clarence “wheah de’ white wimmens at” Thomas, who ushered in the scotus era of illegitimacy, which we are now entering in earnest. 2/3 Catholic scotus…. Yeah, nothing like representing a nice, even, fair cross-section of the American public. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha… funny stuff…

This is about as clear a demonstration of the foul-mouthed racist baby killers whose time of legal cover and taxpayer funding is finally coming to an end. Thank God :)

Ronald Reagan? The actor!? Ha. Then who's vice president? Jerry Lewis?

Same here man, I was thinking the same thing. I also thought the guy standing up was going to deliver the lines.

@@sadeaton I had no idea, Ronald freaking Reagan delivered these lines lol

@@dwayne601 Ha, yeah that too! Watching the Airplane version is what brought me here, just last night.

"Win one for the Zipper."

@@sadeaton "...and win just one for The Zipper...."

The Zipper…

Excuse me doc, I've got a plane to land.

@@iandhr1 I just want to wish you good luck; we’re all counting on you.

@@patrickc3419 🤣

iandhr1 “excuse me doc, I’ve got a plane to fly.”

@@Quadage-ch8hn *applause*

Win just one for the Zipper.

Dammit, you beat me to it!!!!!!!

Que the Notre Dame fight song!

U a savage boii

there it is ❤

I was looking for this

1950s makeup quality wasn't quite there yet.

He’s dying of ass cancer

​Actually this is 1940 dude.

I agree

Holy crap, I am "Like" number 444. That's how many days the diplomats were held hostage in Iran before being released in January 1981, when Reagan was sworn in as President.

Wrong

Yeah, he'd just been to the game, his team lost so he went to the candy store and ate too many gum drops. Let's all play Stateside.........innit!!!!!!!

yes he use to be an actor.

I know he used to be an actor. But he's so young I barely recognize him. Also nobody is pointing it out in the comments. That's why I asked.

yup listen to his voice. lol

The actor?!? Then who's vice president - Jerry Lewis?! I suppose Jane Wyman is the first lady! And Jack Benny is secretary of the treasury! I've had enough practical jokes for one evening! Goodnight, future boy!!

Wow…what a baseless conspiracy theory from a total moron.

That nice young man, Ronald Reagan, became our first proto-fascist president who broke the trade unions in this country, thereby beginning the extreme concentration of wealth in the US. He single-handedly trashed the middle class and forced wages down. I made more in 1979 than most people nowadays do (adjusted for inflation).

You’re a complete imbecile if you believe that. Worry about that senile fool in the White House right now trying to start World War III over nothing .

You can rest easy, he didn't

​@@StrokedGTfun fact Reagan got his idea for the invasion of Grenada from Operation Red Dog.

Wonder how many are gonna get this reference in Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory.

Im here because of a combination of Wasteland 3 and The Don Rickles Roast of Ronald Reagan. Just met him in Denver too :) Go "Nancy" go! All hail god king Reagan

The Grammy is for music so how did he win the grammy?

@Bigfilmhat he did not win a grammy 🤦‍♂️ a grammy is for music do u guys not understand that

@Bigfilmhat I'm sorry man its hard to tell sarcasm over a message

didn’t he also win a razzberry

This 1940 movie is so much better than today's stupid bollywood movies

Awful president

Easily one of the worst we’ve had. Right up there with Trump and Buchanan.

😂

It wouldn't have made the news for very long if Reagan has a "D" after his name.

I agree 1940 in five years America defeat Germany and Japan in wwtwo

Because of the character Ronald Reagan was playing...Knute Rockney, one of the greatest quarterback and coaches in football history. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knute_Rockne

Because it happened to become more popular in the 1980s when he became President.

@@Pulse992 I think Reagan is actually playing as George Gipp not Knute Rockne

@@cinematiccatastrophe8338 yep. Reagan played George Gipp

This was used first way before Airplane. This was filmed in the 1940s.

What's airplane?

What's that?

This but unironically

You're actually right.

Disagree he ended or at least played a part in ending the Soviet Union

​@@seanohare5488it's coming back

Thatcher and Gorbachev would disagree, among others. At least he had a real job, unlike most of our so-called leaders (leeches).

NOT LONG AGO I WAS LISTENING TO A SPEECH THAT WAS ON THE RADIO AND I WISH I COULD RECALL HIS NAME BUT HE IS A SITTING SENATOR THAT ATTENDED A CEREMONY AND GAVE A SPEECH ABOUT HOW PROUD HE WAS TO BE SITTING AND IN ATTENDANCE OF THE COMMUNIST PARTY USA TODAY, I AM SURE IF YOU GOOGLED IT YOU COULD FIND IT BUT IN MY OPINION ANY SITTING MEMBER OF CONGRESS, THE SENATE, AND SO ON WHO PROUDLY IDENTIFIES AS A COMMUNIST SHOULD BE MADE VERY PUBLIC FOR ALL TO KNOW CAUSE LAST TIME I CHECKED COMMUNISM WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATHS OF OVER 100 MILLION PPL IN THE 20TH CENTURY AND TO ME THAT IS A GRAVE THREAT TO ANY AND ALL WHO LOVE AMERICA AND OUR FOUNDING DOCUMENTS WHEN PRACTICED AND USED ASSURES EVERYBODY REGARDLESS OF WHO THEY ARE IN LIFE TO BE ABLE TO MAKE IT ALL THE WAY TO ANY SUCCESS THAT COULD BE HAD IN AMERICA, DONALD J TRUMP WHO I THINK IS A FINE EXAMPLE OF THAT DEMONSTRATES EARLY BEGINNINGS TO MAKE GOOD CHOICES IN LIFE AND WORTH 5 BILLION DOLLARS, OR THE ARTHUR BLANK MIRACLE AND HIS FINDING THE HOME DEPOT MIRACLE WHO IS ALSO WORTH BILLIONS AND SO ON. IN A COMMUNIST SOCIETY YOU WOULD BE DROPPED DOWN MANY NOTCHES OR ALL OF YOUR MONEY AND ASSETS SEIZED BY THE COMMUNIST REGIME AND DICTATORSHIP TO AS THEY WOULD REFER TO AS DISTRIBUTED TO THE PPL. BUT BEHIND CLOSED DOORS THEY WOULD NOT GIVE ANY OF IT TO THE PPL BUT WOULD FEATHER THEIR OWN NEST. HOWS THAT FOR COMMUNISM??? NO THANKS, NOT FOR ME.

👀

Majority disagree. Sorry commie

He was my Commander in Chief and I respected him a whole lot. Twenty years after I got out of the service, I was on a multistate motorcycle trip with my father just days after he passed away. We just happened to be rolling through the Washington D.C. area one morning when we spotted his funeral procession rolling down the interstate toward the U.S. Capital Building. It gave me one last opportunity to salute my chief.

No, Reagan was a decent actor. Not the best, not the worst, and starred in a lot of "B" pictures but had a few powerhouse acting highlights in the "A list" movies during his film career, too. Methinks most of the "Reagan was a bad actor" jabs come from the liberal crowd who hated him for being a conservative Republican president. It's the same kind of hate that the formerly "good liberal" Charlton Heston got from the left after he began swinging right and became the head honcho of the NRA.

​@@vincentsartain3061 I saw this before I knew it was Reagan and this is just a horrible scene. I never knew a lit candle could be more powerful in a scene than a man on his deathbed, but this scene proved me wrong. Im not saying you are wrong because I dont know anything about Reagans career, but you dont have to be a liberal to realize that this is just stupidly bad.

@@kattglufsare Sorry, but your bias is showing; it's as clear as glass that you're just projecting your antipathy for his politics on his earlier work. This is an acclaimed role for Reagan, and for HIM, even I would admit that "acclaimed roles" were few and far between -- but "a few acclaimed roles" in his career he did have (KINGS ROW, THE WINNING TEAM, and at least a couple others.) Reagan WASN'T a "bad" actor, he was just, overall, *mediocre.* And the "mediocre" actors in Old Hollywood vastly outnumbered the "great" ones. But it was those "mediocre actors" who made the "B" pictures that actually made the money to finance the bigger budgets of the more "ambitious" "A" pictures. Lastly, Reagan's screen career lasted for the better part of 30 years, which translates into "just because YOU think his acting stunk, doesn't mean that there weren't enough filmgoers and television viewers who didn't share your opinion of him to keep him from enjoying a modestly successful screen career for over a quarter of a century."

​@@vincentsartain3061 Dude, it's your own bias that is showing. I'm neither leftist nor american or anti-Reagan. You were so hot and ready to defend him that you probably missed my last sentence. I have absolutely no feelings about Reagan besides for finding him to be a lousy actor. My opinion is that talent does not necessarily correlate with a long career, and this is proof of that.

@@kattglufsare Okay, sorry for misjudging you. But I did meet you half way when I conceded he was mostly mediocre in his Hollywood days. Reagan never was singled out by the public as a "lousy actor" until after he entered politics of a right-wing bent. This is much the same treatment that Charlton Heston had gotten.

😆😆😆

God bless you for saying that.
