The political class never understood the problem of the working class. The crass manipulation of American workers and the dismantled social safety networks is a root cause of the disfunction we see now. The entire system is broken, and like many pundits, I agree this dystopia has only just begun. Climate change disasters will only make the disfunction more difficult. The legacy of Thatcher and Reagan neoliberal policies are the aftermath of these projects, like 2025. We're going to replace the legacy of the Civil War with a new Uncivil War. It's terrifying to imagine a year out from now. The working class has spoken, and they spat into the eyes of Wall Street.
I'm so happy that the first comment under this video tells the truth. She's an implicit part of all that and still probably can't see her pardon it. Also, she says the Trump unlike Reagan was not the head of a movement in America. I called bullshit on that one.
I can't stand her, with her fake British accent or whatever the hell that is. Even some of the people on MSNBC worship her. She was never good for anything except servicing Reagan.
Hopefully, Peggy can now play her part to stop Project 2025. We all make mistakes. I am sure that Peggy believed what she wrote. Hopefully, she can move on and help undo the harm that Ronald Reagan, etc.
After the recent election your comment is especially prescient with the Democrats. Noboy is more delusional than that. Recent election results prove as much.
The American Dream died during the Regan Administration and became a slogan rather than an aspiration that we can all achieve. The Youth in this country don't have a better future because we didn't build it for them.
All the economic misery began with Reagan and continues to this day. Neither workers who voted for Reagan nor those who voted for Trump have improved one bit. People like Elon Musk are the big beneficiaries. Musk has earned back on the stock market three times the money he put into Trump's campaign. Make America Great Again = Making Trump Great Again and MEGA, Making Elon Great Again! So what a good choice!
"..economic misery began with Reagan.."? If you think that, you are nuts. After an initial recession, which was the inevitable result of the measures necessary to halt a ruinous inflation, the economic level of activity grew at a healthy rate throughout the eight years of his term and continued for the first two years of the G.H.W. Bush term. And on top of that federal tax revenues grew as well right along with the level of activity.
@ The problem is that the average worker has not become better off. In America, income differences and certainly wealth differences have only become more extreme since Reagan, as the figures show. So economic growth does not tell the whole story.
@@Russell_Huston Biggest economic growth has been under Clinton and all Democratic presidents have rebuilt the broken economies they were handed by Republican presidents.
WE of a certain aage remember the hard economic times of REaagan and even Bush so the "inllation" of Bident that folks complained about didn't seem like much to us. Media needed to review the history of those years.
I remember working for $4.00 (4 bucks baby !) running a jack hammer 12-14 hours a day because trickle down economics worked SOOOOOO well for "The American People" (ie. see 1%) 🤡
As a lifelong registered Democrat, I have always admired Peggy Noonan, primarily for her gifts as a writer, and I have read her avidly, from "What I Saw At The Revolution" to her Wall Street Journal columns. But this interview finished her for me. When she recommended that Trump conduct himself during this transition calmly, quietly, and modestly so as to turn down the heat a little, Walter Isaacson nearly laughed out loud, as did I.
@ If he is still in office in 2029, I think he may try to cancel elections. Maybe Create a crisis and declare that we can’t have elections. Or maybe try to distort the constitution to make staying in office look constitutional. Getting the SCOTUS to back him. I doubt it would work, but the next 4 years may be so unhinged that anything can happen.
Yes. She's a real good person to interview about working people and America.shes another Washington insider who advised a president who started all this immigration mess. Go back to your cocktail parties
She paints with a broad brush of political hubris (America is, has always been and always will be great) , and speaks at the pace of a Catholic Bishop doing Mass. She's kind of the Republican version of Nancy Pelosi. Their heads do the same nodding motion as they grind out their words.
Excuse me, Peggy Noonan is delusional. It took me less than 2.5 minutes of listening to her to realize that. Realizing that saved me the time of listening to the rest of her nonsense.
lol . Look around ?? Two wars and and last presidents drugs killing love ones and homeless , financial struggle . Trump gets it and he will fix the mess opticians have done to the country . Trump is good . Wake up
Peggy stepped outside as a child and believed with a childs innocence that the world was good. What a blessing and privilege fir her to be able to grow up with that view. At least she understands that gender is a social construct. Otherwise boys wouldn't need male role models.
We have had "mature, non-dramatic people in charge", namely, Biden and Harris, and they were rejected in the last election. People want Bread and Circuses, not mature and non-dramatic. We are screwed because of that desire for bread and circuses.
Having lived in a country that has real philosophers and real classicists, I have to tell you, we need them. What passes for thought is on such a low level, and people must be forgiven for not knowing. How are they supposed to know? It's like expecting a kindergartener to know differential equations.
Just published another book and crawled out to promote. Saw her about 5 min on MSNBC then realized she belonged on FOX. Ari Melber makes it his business frequently to promote the R side.
When I was a kid, Columbine happened. It's gotten worse since. Is it really "how we're raising kids" that's changed? Or is it just a fact that kids are in danger.
Good discussion. Peggy is a patriot. Remember disinformation has been targeting America and our institutions for a long time. Her discussion of America that she knew resonates.
Ronald Reagan won his last election 49 States to One. When he was Governor of California, California was a nice place. Under Pres. Reagan, it really was Morning in America. He was always a gentleman. Ronald Reagan should be on Mt. Rushmore.
excellent description of proper modeling for masculinity, "kindly but strong, etc.". If you have character, you eventually learn it but it's far better to be taught this as a boy.
This woman is living in the past. A RINO through and through. She is totally irrelevant and can't stand it. Please go away Peggy, no one gives a damn what you think.
For an excellent writer, she’s an inarticulate speaker. Her recollection of Reagan and his legacy is a total whitewash. And she’s forgetting how cruel conservatives have been to the working class, the poor, women, and immigrants.
Sick of some of these columnists who need term limits on their freewheeling dictates. Thank goodness Trump had his own speeches without thiis woman's "help." She never misses a chance to slam Trump in her elite little way.
WOW the title of that vid : "Trump, COVID-19 and Masculinity" !!! WTF !! I mean, really ??? Come on !!! I mean, I understand these are issues that are in the book, but, come one, when you read this title, it is as if the three were same kind of topics or problems !!!! I mean, come on...
lefties hate men and are actually incapable of understanding their lifestyles -- don't take it personally, just have compassion like the better adult would
masculinity. What? Men, manly toughness also meant they died 20 years ahead of their wife from heart attacks and high cholesterol. Is that the masculine she wants back too because historically it is.

I think in general humans are reflective . For example my music was better when I was young . Society was better in the past . That's what Trump's runs on with his maga philosophy. Of course that's nothing . I grew up in the race riots of the 60s and seventies ., acid rain and nuclear Armageddon . Those things haven't disappeared but they are better than at that time but somehow we see those times are better because we saw it through the eyes of being young and as we age we get a bit grumpy

Nah, that's the tears of all the Trump voters who are now finding out they're getting deported, losing their health insurance and not getting Christmas bonuses because of forthcoming tariffs.
Oh Peggy. When we were kids things were different. It was your hero that destroyed unions & instituted trickle down economics that changed everything.
Yes indeed

After years of drama from Dems / Far Left she wants Trump to be " less dramatic ". Drop Dead. Sit back and deal with the People's Choice. Just STFU
Well Peggy, there is a direct linkage between Reagan and Trump. What we have now is something you helped create.
Hopefully, Peggy can now play her part to stop Project 2025. We all make mistakes. I am sure that Peggy believed what she wrote. Hopefully, she can move on and help undo the harm that Ronald Reagan, etc.
Absolutely true. She helped Reagan promise evangelicals "Vote for Republicans and you can feel like you are on the train to heaven with Jesus."
@@mikewesner-ih7dm Facts
She won't.

She said when she was a kid in the 1950’s and 60’s America wouldn’t be unkind to you based on your race 🤣 7:40
She couldn’t be more wrong.
She really embarrassed herself with that one.
She’s an apologist for her past.
Maybe she means that in the 50s and 60s non white people would never be unkind to white people.
I disagree. White people were very kind to Emmett Till. Oh, wait ...
Omg. Peggy. I’m 70. Italian heritage. It was always about race. Where did you grow up? Greenwich Ct?
I am so sick of hearing the denialism and delusion of conventional conservatives. It's like they never learn.
Ok communist.
After the recent election your comment is especially prescient with the Democrats. Noboy is more delusional than that. Recent election results prove as much.
Right, MAGAts are so much smarter and better for America.
It seems to me, Reagan was the most divisive president until that time. He set a lot of balls rolling that set the trajectory for where we are today.
I agree!
I agree!
True
Why didn't the Dems do anything to reverse it when they had total control in 2009-2010 and again in 2021-2022?
Not true. It started with Nixon.
Wishing for Trump to care how the people feel? You’re not in reality
blood on her hands, figuratively speaking.....so much denialism from her, and ultimately, word salad

Neo con zionists ruined the American dream
Reagan was the first reality TV president.
The Youth of America turned their backs on America courtesy of our excuse for an education system.
Reagan inherited a nation in economic recession and moral depression, and he turned both around.
The American Dream died with Bill Clinton.

Reagan was hated almost as much as Trump, and by the same people.
Nation has evolved or "de-evolved"?
Our country was soooo relieved when Reagan stepped in the White House
Wow. I have read Noonan’s pieces sometimes dismissing her conservatism. But tonight you let her speak. Such eloquence.
His team will all implode And And trump's paranoia too. And then he's got to compete with Elon's ego as well as his own
