1980: using reason and rhetoric
2020: using emotion and gotchas
Aw, c'mon, man ;)
Because emotion IS connected to reason.
Reagan, appears to be well versed in the art of speaking political untruths that could easily be opposed by Reagan, should he win the elections.
President Carter is an honest, simple leader, who believes naively, that his opponent will live up to what he promises.
@@premdas8550 which he did.
No matter what your point of view is. They had style, discipline and respect. I miss this nowadays.
Well said.
Trump and Biden have passion but find it less easy to control. In the year 2040 they will be impressed by how much it matters to them and look at the two candidates in shame like you do now.
@Spider-Boy Studios Trump lost 😂
@Spider-Boy Studios 270 votes is all you need baby. Biden got that. You’re brainwashed by trump and the radical right wing media. I don’t watch the MSM. Don’t hold back. You would never move in with your life. That’s why you’re here today arguing about a result that all logical republicans know to be true. It’s that Biden win fair and square.
@Spider-Boy Studios You sound like some 8 year old. Everyone has their own views and I could care less about what you think of me commenting on yours. If you can can’t hold a proper argument then go because you’re making yourself look completely stupid
Mr. Reagan was one of my favorite people. When he was President, my 4 year old son wanted to write him a letter. My son knew how to write all the letters of the alphabet, but his spelling was not too good, so I helped him. I asked my son, " What do you want to say to the President? " He said I want to invite him to my birthday party at McDonald's on February 5th. ( President Reagan's birthday was February 6th. ). This was 1984.
So, I told him what letters to write and we sent the letter to President Reagan at the White House. Even the envelope was in my son's crude handwriting, but it was readable. Three weeks later, we received a handwritten letter from President Reagan . He was thrilled that such a young American could write so well! ( we told him my son's age ). He said that he could not make it to my son's birthday party at McDonald's in Orlando, Florida because he already promised he would be at another child's birthday in Washington DC..
When I read the letter to my son, he was upset, but he understood. He loved that man! He said he wanted to meet him one day.
A month later, my home received a box from President Reagan with photo's of him and Nancy and the Capital and all kinds of stuff about our country. Reagan took the time to write a letter to a young American boy and this impressed me so much. I really loved that man!..Dave
What a guy. Truly the GOAT.
@Russ Ingram Cold take Debby Downer
What a guy Reagan was.
I didn't realize at the time just what a gem ✨️ we had in President Reagan but his downfall was only the vice president he had by his side that we had to endure after the Reagan years.
Charlotte Thompson Iserbyt wrote a letter to Reagan about the school system takeover and I've always suspected that Bush threw it in the trash 🗑.
Reagan was so good at lying and shelling out his propaganda . Absolute POS when the cameras were off
"We don't have inflation because the people are living too well, we have inflation because the government is living too well" ...brilliantly said President Reagan
Amen to that Sir! 😀😀😀
The private businesses are living to well. Exon oil made hundreds of billions 1 year and paid almost no taxes. This is called corporate welfare.
If you destroy the economy with covid can cause inflation too.
Yeah, Reagan was ignorant. That line only works on folks who have no clue what's going on or how government works, or the economy. Reagan caused most of our problems

Debates of this kind are so calm and thoughtful. This generation studied, and learned, and was incredibly eloquent.
Wel,l it seems to me This china, Russia thing has lot to do with national security,this Nato and USA is not doing what needs to be done here, meanwhile USA wants to talk about freedom and morality,, no this USA has passed crap that will destroy this nation already .besides that God said he would not be mocked and we as a civilized ppl sure has missed the mark, including the supreme court's rotten rules and laws .wayward it is the more lenient we are to let I what is declared law stay the evil law is what is going to finish this nation. Freedom will not be a moral rule .god.is the controller. He is watching this whole world. He knows what he hated and will never tolerate dismissal of his word to this world .
Yes you are absolutely right . The difference being is the questions being asked were by individuals who showed respect to BOTH candidates . Donald Trump was never afforded this type of respect , while hillary and biden always were given the "white glove treatment ."
There is most definitely a double standard by the left , if your not on the left , your past from 30 years ago all of a sudden matters , if your on the left ,its "Lets not rush to judgement ." The double standard in November 2022 will have worn out its welcome....If we make it to then.
@@adrianojames7903 I like how Barbara Walters did not avoid asking President Carter really tough questions. No soft balls!
@@adrianojames7903 Stop distracting the breakdowns in debate began with Trumpism and Trump himself given all his mudslinging.

Ronald Reagen was pure class. Just listening to him is amazing.
Thank you.
@Jeffrey Taylor woah. You shouldn't be saying that to the person that gave you a bigger paycheck through tax cuts.
@Jeffrey Taylor Those Mental health institues were hell on Earth. It's like saying we should've never closed down concentration camps because they employed German soldiers and housed many people. Idc about what his son thinks btw.
@Jeffrey Taylor it seems like you resulting to insulting. Classic strategy of people who lose. Originally you were talking about the middle class but then you decided to switch it up to talk about the mentally ill. Tell me, are you talking about the mentally ill or the middle class? Because I for damn sure know that Reagan helped the middle class in ways you couldn’t imagine.
@Jeffrey Taylor lmao you were the one all over the place
So amazing. Actual answers, and they both shut up when time is up, not rude to each other, no screaming idiots in the audience, etc.....
Yes all of that. Now its extremely frustrating because there are no answers, only personal insults.
Mum's teaching!
Also the moderators always siding with the democrat.

These moderators are better than the ones we have now. Progress?... more like regress smh.....
The moderators now all work for the shit-lib media. Even though the media had always been mostly liberal, they don't even attempt to be unbiased now. Shameless bunch.
J Vincent it’s not just the democrats it’s also fox. There is like no good media😂
ForzaJersey maybe pbs but fox is very biased. They got mad cuz obama wore a helmet when he was on a bike
Weston Meyer oh i didn’t know that. Are they biased to the right or left
Weston Meyer yeah it’s hard to find a good news source. Fox is crazy biased it’s nuts! Obama wore a helmet on a bike (ya know cuz he’s setting an example for the children of America) and they called him weak. Also, he ordered a burger with Dijon musterd. And they talked so much about it! Like who cares what he ate. I think local news is the way to go. Vox is pretty good!
Wow! the debate is held like a serious event. No background music, no live studio audience going wild.
It's all a big show nowadays.
it's like they said when trump won, they turned the election process into a popularity contest, and finally someone actually popular turned up and won, back then it wasn't a popularity contest
AND, when these debates would "interrupt regularly scheduled programs" on the networks, once it was over, there was NO commentary after. It just went right back to the regularly scheduled program and the public was left to decide who won on their own, not be swayed by any media. MISS THAT.
@@sssaaa9043 it’s idiotic to blame the orange man for the changing of the “popularity” contest. It always has and always will be a simple popularity contest.
@@dariel7001 I didn't say he changed it into a popularity contest, the biggest factors were probably Clinton and Raegan, maybe Nixon too
@@sssaaa9043 wayyyy before that. Again it’s been a popularity contest since the second election (since Washington was elected unanimously and had no competitors). The whole process of electing someone is basically a popularity contest. In its most basic way.
My dad always used to say "President Carter was a great man but President, Ronald Reagan was a great President" I grew up with so much respect for these men.
true
I've long felt that Carter may be our best ex-President, and that we're better off for him earning that title so early.
I do not believe Carter was a good president just like Biden is, sadly today.
Ronald Reagan actually didn't know so much things about economy. Thus his policies towards Latin America were horrendous if not criminal.
There actually are people out there that have votes both for Carter and Biden. Yes, mostly just because they're blindly voting Democrats, they voted for perhaps the two worst Presidents in the history of the U.S. They can't undo that. I will say Carter was better because he did have America's best interest in mind. Biden has his own, international and China's best interests in mind...making him far worse.
Ronald Reagan won and took office just as I exited college very low job opportunities were available it took Reagan's team a year, but my opportunities opened up and started my "pursuit of happiness" Reagan has been ridiculed and belittled by revisionists, but his tenure won the cold war and put the middle class out of shackles
To those who weren't there then, Reagan type leadership is exactly what you need (if you will take the time to explore the real history)
I wish I was 23 when Reagan got elected instead of being 23 when incompetent biden got in office.
@Craig you're right it was crap for people like you who are lazy and RUclips warrior and live off govt welfare. Have a nice day
Totally agree!!! Yes, I was there!! He did so much for our country and repaired the mess left by Carter.
You are right on. The people who criticize Reagan must live with their parents and don't have to pay for anything.
Besides his other accomplishments, Americans, including myself, enjoyed prosperity , which was denied us during Carters presidency.
President Reagan. Had a way of making you feel good about being an American.
I wish President Reagan was here now. We need him so much. 🇺🇸
He was a great president and his candor, professionalism, and fortitude to get things done in a timely manner were VERY genuine and noticed throughout his time in office.
I would consider that one of his weaknesses. I think to be a great nation we should never get too comfortable, never be too proud. We need to constantly aim to be better, that's a principal Carter held dear.
Carter was a disaster.
Compared to Joe Biden who wants you to feel very, very bad for being an American.
This is diplomacy at its best. They were polite with each other. They answered the questions and didn’t belittle each other. They acted polite and weren’t rude and childish.
wrong!
@@jecsquishnot, compared to what it looks like today
but still horrible men
@@jecsquish trump 😂
@@jecsquish wrong!! In trumps voice
Ronald Regean you did a way better job than you think. Every American loved you so much. You were the greatest president we ever had .
That's trash. Reagan appealed to the racists in the USA. He got very little support from African Americans who mainly supported Carter. Carter was the better man.
reagan was the most overrated president in the history of this country.
What a quality and dignified debate by the media representatives and both candidates.
2020 Presidential Debates brought me here. The difference is unprecedented! Lord, help us!
I agree what a difference this is then and now especially the Republican candidate...Cheese and...
Wonder how Regan will think about Trump if he still alive.
If we get big media out of it.....
No lie there.

Just shows how much our country has devolved in the past 35+ years. Kinda sad how much we suck now. We need more men like these and I'm no Carter fan, but civility and decency.
I agree totally. I'm not a fan of Carter either but at least he was a gentleman and loved America in those days. He was just a poor leader. Btw, nice picture icon; it's Umbrella we need to fear LOL.
I think Umbrella is operating out of Wuhan lol.
The devolvement started with Reagan
@@sdefonta how old are you?
Jimmy Carter is a great man, that's why he could never succeed as president.
Ronald Reagan, term saw a restoration of prosperity at home, with the goal of achieving “peace through strength” abroad.
I have tremendous respect for both of these men regardless of Jimmy's performance . I'm in my late 60's and I miss those days
Happy you get to experience the carter days again.
You're living Carter 2.0 now though. The teleprompter reading puppet that can't ride a bike.
Yeah...I miss waiting in those long gas lines and paying those high gas prices and having America held hostage with the hostages held in Iran. Yeah, I really miss those days and Jimmy's performance too!
Carter came into his term when energy issues were rapidly occurring. His admin was tarnished by a resulting weak economy as much as a Clinton benefited from a strong economy. Carter wasn't directly responsible for the downturn. Clinton sure as hell wasn't responsible for the happy days during his reign, but was smart enough to not interfere and instead pass the time with office interns and older kids on Epstein island
@brandondominic3482 don't miss the staginflation
I remember thinking at the time that Reagan would never be elected because he made too much sense.
I voted for him both times he ran for President.
Oh
most likely the best president in the later years
we need a president like Ronald or Kennedy to bring us all together again this country is not like it should be we are so divided and our media is one way that most of the nation only sees one perspective
He ran 3 times
@@chrono47minecraft probably the best president in recent history
Society has regressed. We should all be ashamed of ourselves.
Trust me I am
No, the people regressing and those pushing regression should be ashamed of themselves.
Was Reagan ever ashamed of himself for the crack epidemic?
@@heir_to_the_promisehe tried to fight it more than some other politicians
@@L_back What?!!! Did you really type those words? He caused it all to fund his little war. All that he did afterwards was damage control. Nancy Reagan and her D.A.R.E. Program. How dare the both of them.
I tear up watching these two fine human beings. Wow how things have changed....for the worst
Jimmy Carter is an infinitely better man than Ronald Reagan was.
Except the last 4 years of his presidency, when he was basically asleep at the wheel and guys like Don Regan ran things. And the drastic tax cuts early on in his presidency weren’t equaled by revenue so he had to raise taxes several times. Really, the income divide in this country started with RR in office. I’m quite old enough to remember.
And Carter had to accept the hand that was dealt to him. Things were sucky when Ford was president. The hangover from Nixon and Watergate was lengthy. But to label Carter as an incompetent is a knock on you. No one incompetent wins the Nobel Peace Prize for humanitarianism.
@@fernmann7 no...
@@fernmann7 yeah yeah , every Democrat president says the same thing that they inherited a shifty economy...so far from the truth
I voted for Jimmy Carter in both elections back then and that's one embarrassment I had to live with. I stopped voting for democrats before the mess that party morphed into. Like Reagan, that party left me.
Real questions, real answers, no interruptions
Unbelievable
The best way to smile I learn from Mr. President Ronald Reagan. I copy his style and practice at all the time. Mr. Reagan will stay in my heart all life long. Peace and salute to my best leader , God bless America and all Loving Americans. Shafi. Houston. Texas..
And may God Bless You too
Thanks
Ahh but Reagan’s domestic policies weren’t so good. But he’s international policies were good. He help end the Cold War and helped with the downfall of communism in Russia.
@@mike197714even his international policies weren’t good. He lied to the American people and knowingly allowed his administration to illegally sell weapons to the Iran-Contra.
If we could only have President Reagan back!! ❤️
Two finer American leaders you will never meet. President Jimmy Carter and President Ronald Reagan reflect the very best of what in means to be a leader. The respect they showed for one another was awesome. Can you imagine watching Trump's stupidity had he debated one these great men?

@@phillvif you wanna get rid of DJT and JRB, you gotta vote DIFFERENTLY
I can listen to Ronald Reagan all day and no he is a real American patriot
Not that long ago. Men of character. Today's politicians are far from the best and brightest.
The uderstatement of the year!
President Trump is the best in American History.
Ouch, yeah, not a history buff huh? Reagan won because of the hostage crisis. It is common knowledge that he technically committed treason negotiating with Terrorists AND could have gotten the hostages home much faster, but the “October Surprise”. People have a distorted view of Reagan’s Presidency. There were many major negatives, one of them being the mountain of debt he incurred.
Understatement of the decade.
Ronald Regan was the best president we ever had. I miss him a lot. Just a great person.
We need another President Reagan!!
I'd say we've pretty much had Reagan clones ever since he left. Not one POTUS afterwards has championed the working class. A shame. I give Reagan credit that he started the serious war on workers that many presidents before didn't have the guts to do.
Once upon time our presidents had decency and respect 😘
As well as a respectful group of moderators and not a biased media
Exactly..held today the media would be against Reagan and the moderators would side with Carter..
Reagan flooded California illegally with cocaine, through the CIA, and started the crack epidemic. Yes, a very decent president.
@@kennethhill613I’ve observed that the modern media generally stands against any sort of disagreement of progressive policies, such as abortion. Both Reagan and Carter were pro-life, which is something that was influenced by their religious morals. Religion is also something the stupid media doesn’t favor…
Just think reagan had a democratic house all 8 years n still got stuff done. Now THAT is a president

I am sorry you had to live such a life. If some of these liberal do good Ameticans had to live that way they would change their tune.

Wow. Imagine that. Two respectable men, who let the other one speak, make a point, and finish. Two men using pose and class, to simply answer questions and display their differences in leadership, rather than chest-beating, interrupting, talking-over, and goofy underhanded snide remarks and implied threats.

Then trump came...I see simularities in reagan and trump speeches...Difference is Trump fights back..and is more protected by SS and military.

When Carter replied "Yes, we have DEMANDED that the American people sacrifice", that said it all. He believed that the American people should be controlled by the Federal Government. Reagan believed in small, less intrusive government, which is exactly what our founders intended.
Reagan was the greatest President in my lifetime. President Reagan had a calm and demeanor that made Americans feel good and safe. Reagan's greatest achievement was winning the Cold War.
@@harrycallahan692 I agree 100%! The late 70's always seemed so dark and dreary, even when the sun was shining. Then when Reagan was elected I could feel a change in the air. It took him a while to clean up the mess Carter made, but once he did America was once again back on top as the greatest nation in the world! God, I still miss him!
The point was that we had to learn to live with less during a recession. Luckily he appointed Volke to the reserve and Reagan kept him on.
@@spudwickthrockmorton2112 And my point was, President Carter believed in big government having control over the people, which is why he used the term "we have demanded". He was blaming inflation on the American people, instead of placing the blame where it belonged, at the feet of government officials, and most especially his "big government" administration. But like Reagan so brilliantly stated: "We don't have inflation because the people are living too well, we have inflation because the government is living too well".
Easily one of the best past Presidents we have ever had.
We need Ronald Reagan too come back from the dead.
We need Trump back.

@@yeshmayek7486 "If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor. If you like you healthcare plan you can keep it." President Obama. Yes. Happens on both sides. But I think you might have missed the point.
@@yeshmayek7486 Do you even know what you're talking about, or do you just spout talking points (regardless of how old they may be)? The truth is Bush had a Democrat controlled Senate and House. As a result, he vetoed more bills than any president in history. He was becoming known as the "veto President". Under a ton of pressure from the Democrats, and media, to pass some of the Dems' legislation, Bush finally capitulated and signed THEIR tax act, increasing taxes. He thought that would buy goodwill. Far from it. In what was a brilliantly effective, yet completely immoral and dishonest move, the Dems then attacked him for passing that tax increase. It was THEIR tax act, for Christ's sake. However, they got away with blaming Bush for it. This was totally dishonest, yet highly effective. Even today, lemmings still spout these dishonest words -- words that the lying Democrats of that era spouted in their attempt to defeat Bush in the election. If you're going to speak on a subject, at least know what you're speaking about.

Why do we have to relearn the same lesson over and over and over again Reagan is talking about President Carter but he could be talking about President Biden
Reagan was the best. I visited his house in Tampico -IL. I learn a lot from his speeches. He is an example to be followed.
Government isn't the answer to your problem. Government IS the problem.
Carter was steps above biden , but what I see in Carter is appeasement. What I see in Reagan is take charge.
Carter is ten times the man Biden would ever be.
Reagan took charge destroying the working class...
Countries and leaderships such as Iran do not respond to appeasement. Hence the reason Carter’s foreign policy went to crap. Iran was emboldened and started chaos similar to what they’re doing now. Reagan came in and it stopped. I remember it very clearly. Carter had the same issues with inflation, budget debt, high taxes, high unemployment, under preforming markets, high oil and gas prices, dependence on Middle East and Russian resources, and bad actors in the terrorist and Jihad/extremist/anti-Israel/anti America world taking advantage of what appeared to be a weakened and disoriented America. Sound familiar?
The same Reagan that cut and run from Lebanon only to invade Grenada. Real take charge guy🤷🏽♂️
I would take 99 year old Carter over Biden any day. At least Carter has tact and class.

How old are you
so do i it was a truth that you can believe . not now unfortunately
I turned 16 years old in 1980. I could not have timed that any more perfect if I had a year to plan it out. The 80's (thus far) was a better time in almost every respect. Everything was easy. Jobs, girls (far and away the most beautiful of any decade before and for damn sure since) and most everything else. The bullshit happening these days especially in politics was unheard of. Lets face it, most people today are blind misinformed narcissistic assholes. Nobody cared about racism and all the other crap we have to deal with today. God I miss the 80's!

I really enjoyed President Reagan sence of humor , his stories and jokes were hilarious
Thank you for this video😁
Although I was not in the Carter Camp, nor would have ever been, he is still a solid humanitarian in comparison to the muck and mire of what we call an administration these days.
We need you now Mister Reagan!!!
Inflation at 18:57 minutes and closing at 1:31:06 hit hard still today, looking forward to '24 debates.
Reagan was impressive in every way and that's why he won by a LANDSLIDE!
@RUclips WantsToSilenceMe yeah let’s not compare Kamala to Jimmy Carter. Biden to Jimmy Carter yes
no joke. he was an amazing president. and ironically biden sounds a lot like carter with policies. same results too. it’s like he modeled what he would do after carter.
I want to point out that in 1980, Reagan only won by a landslide when it came to the electoral college and the electoral votes. However, if you look at the popular vote, it was closer to 50/50. Reagan won 51% of the popular vote. Jimmy Carter won 39% of the popular vote. Let's remember that John Anderson, the Independent candidate, won 10% of the popular vote. Frankly, I think that John Anderson took votes away from Jimmy Carter. I also want to point out that people think that Reagan won by a landslide in part because most of the states went in his column. I want to point out we have a "winner take all" system. That's why I say that in reality, Reagan did NOT win by a landslide at all.
@@williamlandolfi7858 if popular vote was used, we would never have a republican president again. NY and CA would decide rest of the country would not have a voice and that is why electoral college was created to ensure most populated states didn't run the country.
@RUclips WantsToSilenceMe Elmo is impressive compared to Biden and Harris.
I lived through Carter’s Presidency, I was soooo relieved when Regan took office.
Listening to this video, I was reminded of how bad Carter had been, and yet Biden has become even worse. Biden is demonstrably the worst president in the history of the country.
I was living abroad when Iran threatened to and did take Americans hostage. It was terrifying to hear Carter say on worldwide television, “It’s alright. We’ll get’em back.”. He didn’t.
@@heaterpistol6067 he’s a fraudulently installed communist
Bless you
Everybody talks about how bad a president Carter was but listen to the man he can actually make a full sentence and have a conversation without cards in his hand or something written down somewhere
Reagan was the last politician in the world to have a serious backbone, and balls to take shit from no one. Now PC is the way, and it is sickening.
Lol!
"There you go again . ."
Forty years later I still crack up!
Love it! 😂👍
It would be so nice to see a civil debate such as this.
We need Ronald Reagan too come back from the dead. I would vote for him.
Two great Americans right there!!!
51:40 - He was truly a man of his word. By the time his second term ended the Mikhail Gorbachev was an ally and the Soviet Union was finished.
The Soviet Union was done because of Gorbachev’s reforms not because of anything Reagan did.
We need to show this to young generation, praise both of them irrespective of who is right and who is wrong. Such a civilized debate with only arguments, facts and opinions put so decently. Hail both for this decency.
Essential viewing (in 2022)
Makes modern day Presidential debates sound like a Jerry Springer episode.
Because they are Jerry Springer episodes.
Carter was the wrong man in the wrong position. He was a “good and peaceful man” but in a position that was in a decidedly un-peaceful period. Whereas Reagan was a decidedly flexible man whose policy was talk softly but CARRY A BIG STICK! And Carter was simply out of his depth in many issues.
He did much good few know of but the Iran hostage taking overrode his accomplishments. "During Carter's term as president, two new cabinet-level departments, the Department of Energy and the Department of Education, were established. He established a national energy policy that included conservation, price control, and new technology."
Do some searching - he did much more.
@@sazure2 He greatly improved our ability to fuel our cars...oh wait. In his defense he was something that seems almost impossible now, a moderate. But having lived through his presidency...yeah it was a mess.
The US government's intelligence agency created the war and unrest in Iran and the Middle East. They created dictatorships there. Backed them and gave them millions of dollars in aid,whilst at the same time they hypocritically preached to the world about democracy as if they invented it. They backed and interfered in Israel, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Egypt, Libia, Pakistan, India, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia and just about any problem country you care to mention. Then when there puppet country blossoms into a major problem the US turns around and says "don't look at us we had nothing to do with it". The US has been tampering and interfering in sovereign countries since the American civil war. It is a joke and a choke. It's a joke on the rest of the World. Yet still they continue with their world mischief and hypocritical preaching on democracy which they themselves know nothing of and don't even observe the worlds Democratic rules. That's called Imperialistic behaviour. Lastly it was crazy to hear Reagan suggest one wage for coloured people and another wage for the rest. That's very fair and reasonable and democratic! Yet still the US continues to boast and hypocritically preach to us about democracy. How very Imperial of them.
@@sazure2 pppmmmpppp
@@xxx_blindside_xxx2196 The 70s had a fuel crisis that was mostly unrelated to who was President. Both Nixon and Carter were President during shortages and price hikes. The US had just hit their first peak in oil production. Consumption was rising, domestic supply was falling, and the international cartel was decidedly anti-Zionist and swayed by the USSR.
I hope the journalist from Portland is alive today to see his dream of a diverse and wonderful Portland fulfilled 😂
@54:11 - History proves Reagan was right.
Interesting and fruitful debate between two great personalities in the past and getting inspiration.👍
Amazing to listen the serious debate on the serious questions answering with seriousness as responsible leaders by the two leaders of the 20th century and with equally good moderators.Feeling lucky to hear them here.
It was at the time that no Tesla, Google, Facebook, Twitter, Ndvidia etc' existed, and Apple and Microsoft were just 4 and 5 years old respectively. Can you imagine?
GOD BLESS FMR PRESIDENT JIMMY AND ROSALYN CARTER AS THEY DEAL WITH FAILING HEALTH

Ronald Reagan should be honored. His face belongs on Mt. Rushmore.
U dont know ragen then - irain contra?!?!?

@@reeseangle9621 right on. He demanded that you do your job. He was like most bosses, I loved him for it.
Civil and controlled, I wish politicians these days would take a page from how folks acted back in the day, we would get shit done...
Michael Clark yeah I agree with you. Everyone makes it so personal. Ya know! We are all people!
Anyone like this wouldn't get elected because the news would call them racist everyday.
Watching this 42 years later in 2022 and this is the EXACT same debate we are having right NOW.
2023 for me !! Ikr sounds very familiar
History surely rhymes
It is amazing to me that we are right back in the same position we were all those years ago.
I like Reagan
.....calm and speaks the truth with facts.
REAGAN was such a sensible man!
He had some pretty awful policies. But spoke well (recall he was an actor) Both did great works and some not so great works.
His policies were actually great. Carter was on a road to destroying america thank God people had sense to vote him out after 4 years.
VERY BEST
He was the best President of modern times!
@@sazure2 I have to disagree, the man was a great president and when we needed his first lady to step in she did so. His policies were great for this country and even Clinton was still riding out the end of his policies. It's part of the reason everyone thought his silly ass was so good.
What is this? Where is all the social media icons? Scrolling ads? Biased questions? Intro and Outro music and people acting half nuts?
I wish the debate of today could be like this. Sticking to the issues and letting each other speak without name calling or cutting each other off. Well controlled debate. Future candidates should take notice.
Unfortunately, The networks make more money by making the Debates a soap opera instead of a debate. America is the worse off all for it because we cannot find out where candidates truly stand.
It was honestly really nice to hear this
I used to think that Carter was the worst President ever then came Obama. Then to my surprise we got Biden. Know I have to rethink my opinion in Carter.
About Mid term, Prez Carter was told 'stop smiling so much'.
I had the dubious pleasure of growing up during both presidencies and have always been a Reagan man and loved him as much as the rest of the nation did, but will say Jimmy C was such a loving man and very friendly. This is how two opposing parties should debate each other. There was no disrespect, malice in any of the exchanges,, nothing more than debating policies. They both respected and liked each other . Even with the gas lines of the 70’s and the slow start to a booming economy of the 80’s I loved growing up in both generations.. wow what a time indeed.
Why can’t we have debates like this anymore. I actually understand what’s going on lol
Because you have a hostile media that sets a narrative and is blatantly biased.
@@mskathiez1 exactly. The fake News Propaganda machine has gone full blown panic mode Communist Pravda
It's despair. Unfortunately we've become radical
@mark sanford it's only despair because of the Marxist media who control the narrative.They fuel the flames and stupid people believe them.
@@mskathiez1 Oh please it's because of the emergence of Trumpism and Trump himself. Don't lie American politics became toxic when his mudslinging ass appeared on the world stage.
God we need a leader like Reagan now. He was humble, sincere, wise, and nor a puppet like Biden.
.
Yes. If we only our country were run by a sociopath whose corporatist policies completely obliterated the working and lower class.
I also wonder how you idiots would react to a Democrat funding South American guerrillas with I'll gotten money from the Iranian Government.
No matter what leaders we have today the liberal Democrats will do their best to label that person a racist.

The famous line that changed everything, “There you go again,” 1:15:00
how long return?
Jimmy Carter: I am the worst president.
Joe Biden: Hold my Metamucil.
Hey, I’m young and I drink Metamucil. I have IBS and cancer.
Obama: Pathetic.
He look...two people having a reasonable, civil discussion over points which they disagree.
Awesome
