The president meets the White House press corps tonight for the first time in three months, and questions are certain to focus on recent turns in the Reagan administration's foreign policy.

Reagan is seen here to be visibly nervous and that is evident in the manner he is delivering his answers. You gotta hand it to him though: he would always handle the press with decency and poise.
and at least he did show some contrition and admit that mistakes were made. You will never see Trump admit mistakes or show contrition
loyaldude10 you will never see Hilary admit she lost the election fair and square
@@tannerjordan3754 lol that's your only defense "but Hillary, but obama" pathetic
At least the media didn't lie and cut his answers to fit their sick agenda.
ruclips.net/video/2XFlT8LLFiA/видео.html Are you sure about that? @loyaldude10
This is the press i miss and the press we need in today's media.
are you serious? this guy is sellign arms to two countries at the same time to kill as many humans as possible all for money
Wow Chris Wallace is so young
And he's still a crook
@@proton4835 He embarrassed his father‘s legacy
Back when the media asked good questions.
Chris wallace. Wow
Joshua Matthew M. Samarita no shit right!!! He sounds the same!
I didn’t even realize that was him
He’s old as a fucking tree
I was 7 years old back then now I'm gonna be 42. How old is Wallace now like 85?
There was actually respect between the president and the press
Yes, respect, as long as Reagan kept up the lies and nobody found out the truth.
Jim Acosta sure could take some valuable lessons from all these true journalists.
He does. You're just being biased because you're obviously a Trump supporter & you don't like it when Acosta doesn't throw him softballs.
Mister Sarajevo so many things are stupid with your comment. "He does". He does what? Take valuable lessons from these journalists? Clearly not because he's nowhere near the level of professionalism that these ones are, like the basic fact these ones don't talk over the president or interrupt him. How am I being biased? And biased which way? I'm not a Trump supporter, I never voted for him, and wtf does he have to do with any of this anyways? TDS much? Go take a nap or something, you're cranky.
@@siskothekid4620 Chris Wallace begins this clip. Pretty ironic when one thinks about it. The fact is, there are still true journalists around. It's Trump that needs to learn some "valuable lessons" & could do so by watching this.
George Younts what lessons should Trump learn from this? My comment is regarding that Jim Acosta could use some advice, just curious why you think Trump has anything to do with this, or how it is relevant to the original comment.
@@siskothekid4620 Because Trump has emboldened anti-press sentiment when he started whining about "fake news" being mean to him.
Rember Reagan was an actor!
7:05 "the first ideas ...about restoring relations with Iran ... started before our administration was here" Is he referring to The October Surprise?
A President holds a press conference, knows every reporter by name, and doesn't have to look down at his cheat sheet to see whom to call on for the softball questions. Ahh, the good old days.
These guys are asking tough questions but they are respectfully allowing the President to answer and not interrupting. Unlike today.
Stop defending Trump & gaslighting reporters.
Mister Sarajevo lololol
There’s a world of difference between how Trump handles criticial reporting and other legitimate leaders.
And you also have to understand, these reporters have to interrupt often because Trump takes his answers off the rails, meanders, and starts making it personal with the reporters.
Reagan was a corrupt president but he did at least have maturity, which is not a prime Trump feature. Reagan was not a provocateur while simultaneously fragile. Reagan never tried to wage a cultural war on the free press.
Media’s handling of Donald Trump was warranted. Trump was never a usual candidate and President, and not in a good way either. An “outsider” but the absolute worst type of outsider.
Who mentioned Trump? TDS is real! lol.
These are some of the most adversarial questions a president could face. Sam Donaldson accuses him of duplicity. Yet Reagan keeps his cool and addresses them directly. Ask Republicans who support Trump today about how Reagan handled these questions and they'll deny any existence of any such moment as this.
deltalitprof it was a different time they asked tough questions and he answered them will i.m.o he was a great speaker i was 4 when this happened, but I like the respect both sides have.
Thank you for posting. Great to have access to the past like this. "a defensive weapon" "we didn't add to any offensive power" "spare parts" Lunancy.
I'm surprised that Reagan did not call this "Fake News" like Trump did in situations like this
Are you serious? So ALL republicans are the same? They are two different people. Reagan had impeccable manners and grace
Is that Chris Wallace at the beginning?
Yup
Before he joined the fakefox koolaid network because back then the fakefox wasn't around
1980s version of Fake News
“Fake news.”
A term coined and abused by Republican schmucks and goners who virtue signal their way to ignore corrupt and treacherous ways.
Seth Abdul no rather it’s an accurate description of the mainstream media aka the lap dogs of the deep state and propaganda arm of the left
@@NP80s I'm 55 years old I remember how much the press hated Regan they hid how much . Trump has brought their hatred out of the woodwork and EXPOSED them
Reagan looked uncomfortable and not mentally sharp. Compared to Trump Reagan’s mental capacity is not even close.
Both repulsive greaseballs.
Reagan was experiencing early signs of Alzheimers, which is what caused his death
You can't possibly be serious.
Dump's a joke lol
You're completely off base. Reagan is measured and thoughtful, unlike Dump who sounds like a moron and just spouts out the first thing off his head.
he is a narcassitic convicted felon
Almost like "We did not trade hostages for arms!! We sold the arms to them!! Next question!!"
He lies with such poise.
He's not lying ....
I'm a Democrat and I never voted for Reagan, but after watching Trump lie and call the press fake news I have come to admire how Ronald Reagan stood up and took hard question after hard question on a very difficult subject. I was in college when this happened and I remember it very well. 35 years later President Ronald Reagan appears to be far better than anything that the Republican party has to offer nowadays.
What the democrats have now r so much better. Biden who can't through a presser even with softball questions. He doesn't know where the hell he is. Crazy Nancy. Chuckle Schumer Maxine Walters.
@@kevinburke6055 the reason that Reagan faced such hard questions is because he broke the law, lied about it and got caught in the act. He would have been impeached but Speaker of the House Tip O'Neill didn't want to put America through that again only 12 years after Watergate. Also, Reagan went on television and admitted that all of his prior statements were not true. Actually, Reagan leaned into his alleged memory problems to cover up his not telling the truth.
Handsome man. Rest in Paradise Ronnie. ❤️
He is undoubtedly burning in hell where he belongs
A flaming paradise
@@benjaminheim735 nope but you will
Rest in piss
"Troody?" Help get me away from these question
Thank you for your service
Naughty boy got his hand caught in cookie jar !!
Apparently a TOW missle is only for "defensive purposes" not offensive purposes.
Do you know what TOW missile are? Very close range/tethered missiles. Only good for defensive purposes. Only a dead fool would use them for offensive attacks.
LIAR
He's using double speak
So they gave weapons to an Iranian proxy through private companies?
Liar LIAR !!!
Is this press conference Robin Williams did a parody of on an SNL cold open with the aides feeding the president answers through the ear pierce in his left ear?
He just quoted Nixon as to the presidents deferral on national security
Questioners chris wallace, sam donaldson, bill ?
plante?
LIAR!!!!
The 1979 revolution proved to be a regrettable decision, as it resulted in the loss of a thriving economy, social liberties, and progress towards a positive future. Instead of resorting to overthrowing the regime, dissatisfied individuals could have pursued avenues for change within the existing system. Under the leadership of Alahazrat Mohamad Reza Shah Pahlavi, Iran experienced significant development and prosperity, but unfortunately, his departure led to the downfall of our nation, the erosion of our freedoms, and numerous other setbacks.
We loved Shah and owe him the modern Iran! After him all is lost not only in Iran but the whole Middle East! God bless The Pahlavi family.
Let's make Iran great again
Now watch idiocracy. 😳
Who gives a damn. If it takes a few weapons to get hostages back then so be it.
What about the iconic "We don't negotiate with terrorist" viewpoint?
What about the fact that he said _"We did not trade weapons for hostages"_ and then later admitted that was wrong...? If Obama had said that you Teabaggers would've never let him hear the end of it.
@bill bixby who did what?
@bill bixby and yet you're perfectly fine with Reagan giving them missiles
@@rabbitskipper4454 shhhh! That rule only applies to Democratic presidents. Republican presidents are allowed to do whatever they please. If you don't believe me, take a look at our current president and who he is schmoozing with today (Feb. 27, 2019).
Wasn't Reagan a CFR member?
The President answeing questions live, you do not see that any where else, if fake or not its very powerful it conveys a message of democracy.
The only alternative for us Iranians is Prince Reza Pahlavi. Like his father Mohammad Reza Shah, he brings peace and stability to the Middle East. The prince will build a modern and beautiful Iranian like his father and grandfather.
Look how iran kicked their butts than and now...
Other way around dawg
LIAR LIAR reAgan
The look on his face.
old but also refreshing. Man, what a leader
He was so sharp in his responses. Reagan did his homework well, which a lot of Presidents have pretty much fumbled through in their responses.
A leader indeed, as antichrists are supposed to be
@@wokeeye6441, like Stalin or Hitler?
@@Religious_man Stalin Hitler, Jeff Bezos, The Koch Brothers, authoritarian capitalism, communism and fascism. All the same grabage if you praise a particular system too much and say it can't fail. At least I acknowledge capitalism like communism can't be completely applied. There must be some regulation and some mixture of all three.
@@wokeeye6441, which system do you really have in mind? Please, don't leave any of us simple folk out in the dark. Tell us what's best for us, oh great one.
Before chris Wallace joined the fakefox koolaid network
Yep I agree our press now sucks
Great Communicator!!?!! Really??!! Doesn't look so great to me...... hemming, hawwing, stumbling, fumbling, nodding, bumbling...... and this is the great communicator??!? Yeah, right!😆
Ends don't justify the means.
A Great President
reagan was A DISASTER.
@@Eric-lt3xq I read you said "Clinton was best president ever" hahaha sure, best of PEDOPHILE presidents...
Yes that is a coincidence. But I an my crownies are innocent. But every one else is guilty
Impressive how well, given his age, Reagan here stands for an extended period on his head. It may appear that he is standing on his feet but that is clearly impossible given that the words he speaks come directly from his ass.
Why do people think this man was a great president ? He was awful
I mean he did break the power of the Soviets
@@glamorousman4013 While making life shit for working class Americans
دروغگوي بزرگ!!!!!!
بزرگترين دشمن ازادي و ملتها
What?
Same, but mine had a wheel missing
Wallace was a Lefty then as he still is!
#Facts
reagan was A disaster
Not really
are u insane? compared to who? i wish we had, in our lifetime, a president like him
