An ambitious and charming figure unlike any other in America’s history. A leader who rocked the U.S. economy with his infamous Reaganomics and divided opinion both on home turf and abroad.

Here we look back at the most defining moments and how a former actor changed Conservatism in America forever.
Filmmakers:
Sarah Findley, Jordan Hill, Brian Aabech
Cast:
Bob Taylor, Natasha Lindstaedt, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Margaret Thatcher, Nancy Reagan, Ronald Reagan

We as Americans respect Reagan because he was honest with us. He didn’t sugar coat anything and he never treated the everyday person like an idiot. That’s even without mentioning that he had a great political mind.
Please, he lied about iran contra and gave colorful speeches because he knew the people would eat it up and ignored the substance. Economy was better under him than Carter but it was not 'great', he outsourced jobs.
He’s the reason why China completely destroyed made in America

It wasn't Carter's fault that the economy was terrible. The oil shock hurt the U.S. economy. Reaganomics hurt the poor and the middle class by crushing unions. The U.S. budget deficit under Reagan reached the first trillion-dollar mark in 1981. One of the worst presidents of all time. An actor puppet!!
If his tax cuts resulted in success (a balanced budget) we'd respect him. But he was 100% wrong. Who respects being wrong all the time? The people who lied about the VP undoing elections. The people who lied about WMDs, etc.
@cbarry9819 He did not lie. He let his Chief-of-Staff accumulate too much power. It was greater than most economies and importantly he oversaw an economic revolution in thinking at least which re-oriented the people to freer markets (Which creates jobs by the way, it is not perfect I agree.).
May God bless Ronald Reagan. 🇺🇸 The Originator of Make America Great Again!
I joined the military under his presidency and commissioned his carrier. He was a phenomenal president. Wish we had one even close to how good he was

THE GOD OF WAR
Ronald Wilson Reagan (February 6,1911-June 5,2004)was ONE GREAT AMERICAN!🇺🇲
I went to see him lie in wake in DC when he died 🇺🇸
A great President we were blessed with. Hope many more to come for this nation.
Reagan is what being American is about.
Why die he lie about balancing the budget and Iran/Contra (treason)?
hahaha- how stupid can YOU get
Getting richer by scrapping aid for those who need it most?
Ow yes America all about stupid economics lies further the income to the rich.
@@snape1464 They should get a job then, don’t have kids if you can’t afford it
Youre just mad he didn’t let people abuse and exploit the tax payers
Government is not the solution to our problem, government is our problem. We need to rule our government, make sure it serves us well.
A catchy, persuasive phrase. In the end, laws and unions protect your ass as employee from being taken advantage of employers and companies and actually get a just share from the overall productivity increase as they do. Essentially, what stopped when Reagan took office.
@@xsmash5328
He didn’t get rid of Unions, it’s a myth that Republicans want to get rid of unions. Stop fear mongering propaganda
@@xsmash5328facts, that and these same people talk about the black community and black on black crime when his presidency is what kicked off all of these issues the murder rate sky rocketed during his presidency as well as the incarceration rate not too mention his policies had long term disastrous effects on the economy
I think Ronald Reagan was precisely the man that the United States needed at the helm at that time. His optimism helped America get its groove back, confidence in itself, and his commitment to strengthening US power - Peace Through Strength - helped end the Cold War. And what a communicator. He exuded reassurance and hope. Quite a man.
🤡🤡
Yes economics the subject that only cares about how funny people are. Girl please if being funny was only thing needed to grow the economy y’all USA gdp would be 0 and the UK would be number 1
I think Ronald Reagan was the right man for President during those times in our nation's history. He was a great leader & communicator of our country. He was well liked!
My favorite President. He loved this country very much.

Was he right about one thing?
@@jamievetter601 yes- he broke the Soviet Union
Well said
sorry, Reagan haters. Reagonomics DID work. I lived through it.
Reintroduced corporate capture which is what we have now.
Right he is totally not responsible for deregulating corporations, lowering taxes for rich people, increasing them for working people, set the precedent for the monopolization of major industries, student loans, the war on drugs that the government is totally winning
To think that Reagan came oh co close to pitching a "no hitter" when he got re-elected in 1984, which only stupid Minnesota prevented from happening that year! With how highly divided the country is these days (and will probably remain the case for some time) that's also probably the last time we'll ever see any candidate win with over 500 electoral votes within the next century too!
Reagan made dumb popular. Listen to fox news. None of them have a clue what they're talking about and think they're experts in everything.
Thanks in large part to Reagan signing amnesty which turned NY and California into 1 party states lmao. Reaganites too stupid to understand this.
I see all the positive comments on Reagan below. Don't think that was the intend of the publisher of this documentary, which is trying in every way to paint him in a negative way.
Blaming him for things that are Liberal’s fault. “ Aids crisis, income inequality” ALL in Liberal government cities
He IS & ALWAYS WILL BE THE GREAT 👍 COMMUNICATOR !😊
I'm so glad that I lived through both the Carter and Reagan administration's because this nonsense that, "the rich got richer and the poor got poorer," was completely untrue. Furthermore, this documentary NEVER mentions the explosive economic/job growth, the reduction of double-digit inflation, interest rates and unemployment that Reagan inherited was wiped out by the time he started his 2nd term in Office. This documentary left not only a lot to be desired but a lot to be admired about this iconic President.
"Though the standard of living rose, its growth was no faster than during 1950-1980. Income inequality increased. The rate of poverty at the end of Reagan's term was the same as in 1980. Cutbacks in income transfers during the Reagan years helped increase both poverty and inequality. Changes in tax policy helped increase inequality but reduced poverty. These policy shifts are not the only reasons for the lack of progress against poverty and the rise in inequality. Broad social and economic factors have been widening income differences and making it harder for families to stay out of poverty. Policy choices during the Reagan Administration reinforced those factors."
you can tell they have a lefty bias - when they say the Soviets installed "left wing governments" in Eastern Europe, come on, those were terrible authoritarian dictatorships!
@TelephoneToughGuy. Liberal loser lunatic much? the 80s & 90s were 2 of the best decades in the market period. The economy was on a tear. He took Carter 20 percent interest rates down to single digits. Do you know what you're talking about? You're embarrassing yourself
@@TelephoneToughGuyyet everything you mentioned continues to happen under the left too. Two wings of the same bird
@@pitchforkpeasant6219 : That's a fair point, however there are differences.
E.g., Republicans love to cut benefits, cut taxes of the ultra-rich. Republicans are willing to sacrifice the environment and people's health if it's economically beneficial to do so.
Dems, on the other hand, tend to take opposite positions.
It's also important to point out that the only time in the last 50 years the government had a balanced budget was under a Democrat president.
Republicans love to claim they're for fiscal responsibility, but that's a bald-faced lie.
39:39 His death date is literally on-screen, and the narrator still gets it wrong.
A lot of times the voice is done ahead of time. It was a mistake the editor should have caught. It does happen so no biggee
A mistake which happens in Canada all the time!
The script is incorrect. The narrator just reads what is given to him
He was a giant amongst todays paltry crumbs. God, he loved America. From his heart he tried his best to do his best. He didn't get all the calls right, of course not. The fact that he his held in such high regard today is down to his sheer human decency. God bless him.
Loved him. ❤. He was the best. This video tried to not shine his bright light but the comments of love and support speak for themselves.
I was disappointed in the slant. Working on my Masters in Business, I learned cutting spending & taxes allows people to keep more of what they earn. This creates more productive spending of available funds, as the consumer taxpayer is directly benefited. The boost in productivity that builds increasing revenue takes time. Unless we could maintain a steady policy, the idea appears as mere good intention, when the opposing party comes into office & reverses tax cuts, etc, before the policy has had time to fully work. Given time, a rising economic tide would have lifted all boats, so to speak. Yet, this video has a slant that taints. Instead of a fair economic appraisal, the video says the policy doesn't work. Perhaps because of this, the policies that were the backbone of this trickle down policy, like lower taxes, are questioned. The video talks about the social program cuts without explaining what those cuts hoped to accomplish, nor what positive changes we were beginning to see because of them. It was not a completely biased portrayal of the former president, however. I think the slant was less an outright denial of truth, as a drawing from how people on the left view the president.
First of all, greetings from Turkey. Reagan is my favorite president in American history. Being the leader who dissolved the USSR, ending inflation, and reducing the crime rate in America by dealing blows to the cartels and mafia made him the charismatic leader of America.The economic policies she implemented in the eighties became America's most prosperous period in the nineties.
Glad I was born under reagan
Was there at Liberty State Park in Jersey City when Reagan kicked off his 1980 campaign
The embodiment of a true American president, exalting patriotism and hope, the history books will never forget, now America have folks like Biden or Trump, hard to say which is worst, time has been harsh with America, a country with so much influence over the world should be in better hands.
I remember seeing him speak on TV back in the 80's
There has been good presidents and in right time
That's why he himself love's Franklin D.Roosevelt one of the most outstanding President America has ever witnessed. That's the reason Pres.Ronald Reagan decide to endure him his administration..God continue to rest their soul in an eternal peace.🇺🇸🇺🇸
EM Productions takes a very obvious liberal view of Republican Presidents and praises Liberal Presidents. A very biased representation of the Presidents.
After my grandfather died, my grandmother was very poor. Under Reagan interest rates in savings and money markets became very good, and they helped her escape her poor financial situation. She said that the Reagan and Bush years were great years for America, The US dollar was worth something. People who were using welfare as a permanent paycheck rather than a time to look for a job, evaporated. The national budget began to be balanced.
President Reagan, one of the greatest American presidents. He's highly missed today, amid this chaos.

President Reagan loved America 🇺🇸 for America’s greatness, strength and Americans’ happiness either as American, California Governor of America or President of America. He tried his very best to ensure America’s greatness, recognitions and principles to preserve, protect and defend Americans’ freedoms, entrepreneurship spirit and equality of the opportunities and kindness nature for Americans of all being able to enjoy freedoms, entrepreneurship spirit and equality of the opportunities to achieve own American dreams, either a bit, some, more or much more as well known performers, or well known athletes, or professors, research professionals, inventors, business entrepreneurs, or governing leaders, or even become the President of our country America. President Reagan had worked hard with his Vice President Bush together through getting things done quickly, putting down looting, robberies or killings without hesitations for Americans being able to take care of families and build America peacefully together. I still remember that Americans and America’ unity was very strong by America’s patriotism spirit to wish our country America very best, love our country America dearly and tried our very best to build our country America’s greatness together by own hardworking efforts happily together. America’s own established Constitution laws absolutely superseded Terrorism activities, or Communism ideologies influences, or European Socialism systems, but America’s recognitions and principles to ensure America’s recognitions and principles for peace domestically and peace in the world. They united with many allies together for peace efforts toward achieving freedoms, entrepreneurship spirit and equality of the opportunities by good behaviors instead by races. Also Christianity spirit influences brought loving kindness nature to connect Americans of all by kindness nature to wish others the very best by doing better things together quickly. With different recognitions or systems of countries, President Reagan and President Bush were trying best to spread liberty concepts for adapting and spreading freedoms, entrepreneurship spirit and equality of the opportunities principles. They wished more open minded leaders will learn quickly and let their citizens to be able to live by more freedoms and equality of the opportunities societies. Whatever they did, encourage loving America by America’s patriotism spirit which made Americans together loved our country America dearly, build our country diligently together which created America’s greatness, strength and happiness as a strong world leadership status efforts toward peace efforts in the world as much as can. Massive jobs made Americans of all to be able to live stable life as well as truly American dreams spread out quickly. In Americans’ mind, impossibly ideologies influences would be able to influence our country America 🇺🇸, because this is America 🇺🇸 and Americans for America’s recognitions and principles for peace efforts domestically and internationally to preserve freedoms, entrepreneurship spirit and equality of the opportunities as duties and with unity altogether peacefully and happily. However, President Reagan and President Bush made sure that America’s greatness must be forever peacefully. Miss our President Reagan and President Bush always and RIP both President Reagan and President Bush. Wish our country America’s own established Constitution laws will preserve our freedoms, entrepreneurship spirit and equality of the opportunities endlessly forever toward shining hill together.

The greatest President in the history of the country
History is about to repeat itself.
This documentary lol. *sad music plays*; Ronald reagan convinced everyone that more government was bad. He shifted the republican party to the right. It became more conservative with a capital C.
Yes! He did! THAT'S WHY HE IS SO POPULAR
So funny. I watched this documentary on Carter, and it was said that many issues came his way that were out of his control. Reagan comes and handles all the issues that were not in Carter's control and succeeds. I have no idea why these people who defend government offices like this always makes excuses for them.
Reagan’s presidency paved the road for what the Republican party has become today. Though if he were alive I have a feeling that he would be dissatisfied with the autocratic and prejudicial political party that it is now.
You’re just saying that because they don’t support abortions on demand
It’s ridiculous how you vote only because of “ social ideology” and you’re willing to destroy the country as long as your side wins
I can't say if Reaganomics increased inequality, but we had state interventionism in Latin America and it almost destroyed us. We're talking hyperinflation, starvation and terrorism, it was a nightmare.
2004 sir!!! Not 2005!! Come on! Know our history..🙏🏻
The main woman interviewed (You couldn't get anybody else?) is a biased random professor at a college in England. Her one book is from a left wing perspective, and does not appear to be intelligent, unbiased, or worthwhile reading. Gonna go watch a different channel now, LOL.
there aren`t any intelligent socialists.
Thank you, I won't waste my time on this. A number of the highest ranking presidents of all time are republican, a fact that doesn't sit well with democrats.
Do you have one on Buchanan?
This video is clearly biased, but it cannot dim the brightness of president Reagan.
The best and my favorite President!
I wasn't alive whenever he was alive however I do believe he one of the best republican Presidents in the past 70 year while I believe that JFK was the best democrat President in the past 70 years..
Ronald Reagan is one of the best presidents of the United States. For me, he is the last great president with Donald Trump.
I don't see much similarity, The Gipper and the grifter.
@michaelhughes4466 The latter reinforced a lot of the former's policies. Although Donald John Trump is to the left socially and to an extent economically such as with entitlement programmes.

As a number of comments have already pointed out: Many facts are left out, and some misleading and not true.
This documentary does sound more like a political hatchet job than anything else to me. Not recommended.
I couldn't agree with you more. This elite media is so out of touch with the American people. One need only look at the comments, as he won two
landslide elections.
It's said that it's the economy that will make or break a presidency!!!😊
Our economy will never be as good as it was. We have too many people here, and not nearly enough jobs
Ronald Reagan is, was the very best U.S.President of the second half of the 20th. Century. I regret that I never voted for him. I want Donald Trump back in the White House and he will have my vote this year of 2024.
Of course this is politics but Mr .Reagan was great president and thought furthermore with big heart peace and so on .gratitude
he had a great heart but you don't have a damn clue of what you're talking about.
America was lucky to have this man as President. Huge stature respected by all. A gentleman with a lovely nature and wonderful humour. What a treasure he was.
An incredibly good negotiator with amazing insight. He as your best ever by far. Yes ever.

The last Great American President.
I was born early 90’s in a 3rd world country. So you’re 80’s tech is our mid 90’s tech that I remember as a little kid. So despite being 32 i feel that the i have witnessed the 80’s, 90’s, 2000’s 2010’s and early 2020’s in just a span of 25 years. Which makes me feel older somehow like i am 50 or something.
Why did this doc only have 1 woman with an agenda explaining Regan to us….? Why not show both sides instead of one biased bitter woman.
5:34 In another universe, Jack Carson would have become president!
The segment about Reagans reforms being bad for the poor are rubbish. Yes, the taxcuts made the gap between rich and poor greater. But that is because everyone kept more of the income they have worked for which benefitted everyone not just ''the rich''. Abolishing the welfare programs was also a good move by Reagan. It lowered taxes wich meant all classes of society kept more of their income.
My two favorite presidents are Reagan and Clinton.
Please take a major Lesson on "Acting" from this video on Mr. Reagan including his terms as President! Just ask Iran what kind of deal was made with The U.S.?
There are a couple mistakes in this. Ronald Wilson Reagan rarely cut government spending but he cut the increase in government spending. Overall he cut domestic spending by 1%-1.5% and increased military spending by 0.5% relative to Gross Domestic Product. Furthermore, military spending was going to go up anyhow but the degree to which it would was the question. On taxes, the poor got tax cuts more than the rich arguably (This caused problems for getting companies to invest.) and the intransigence of the Democrats in Congress meant that his policies could rarely get through unscathed, so the fact so much was done in improving the economy is truly a mammoth task for which he deserves a lot of credit. As for the disease mentioned here, it is indeed not a homosexual disease *however* it is more likely to be transmitted through their method of sexual activity than normal sexual activity. Also yeah needles. It is a fact that abstaining from sexual activity means you will not get a sexually transmitted disease. Furthermore contraception has more problems and abstaining from sexual activity and developing a cure should have been the actions taken.
Interesting rewrite. Reagan said his tax cuts would end inflation and give us balanced budgets. He tripled the debt and a deep recession ended inflation.
@jamievetter601 His tax cuts did not balance the budget certainly and inflation was ended by high interest rates. He supported that policy. The tax cuts were meant to spur economic investment and given how successful the economy was, it was good. As for military spending, yeah it was a lot, probably too much but modernising the military was important and a larger military budget was on the table already.
@@jamievetter601 The federal reserve caused that deep recession by massively hiking interest rates.
how is it arguable that the poor got more tax cuts than the rich? use the percentage by which they were cut. and, for the record, reagan's cuts in social spending are the reason you conservatives complain about the homeless. he eliminated federally funded sanitariums and sent the homeless/mentally ill into the streets. neoliberal economics (which im sure you wouldn't have a clue of without chatgpt) fucked this country in the a** and enabled the 2008 financial crisis. reagan had a good heart, but not a damn clue of what he was doing (and if he did, then he was truly a pos).
@@FervAnimalLover Reagan cut taxes and spent a lot of money and didn't pay for any of it. The Fed was forced to keep rates high to stop the stimulus. Inflation died at the end of Carter's term. Reagan reignited it.

Your narrator has a great documentary voice. He could do real documentaries. I say that because the flood of documentaries on UA-cam with Misinformation is staggering. So you have to be careful watching documentaries on UA-cam this one on Reagan’s pretty good so far.
42:37 Why Netherlands and Belgium got eaten by Germany though
Why does Italy own more land than it's supposed to? Why is Istanbul greek? 😭
Lincoln and FDR were our best presidents
Without any doubt! Reagan was very succestul in foreign affairs but in internal politic had no the same stature. As actor was a great performer, a real leader, but his "Reagonomics" left behind the most unequal industrial country in the world. The term "homeless" was coined during his period and left behind the country deep in dept. Nevertheless his greater achievement was to put an end to the Cold War and we are all very gratefull for that . Greeting from Germany.
Even though I’m an Aussie I have the highest respect for this man. I even love his cheesy DAD jokes❤️🙏🥰🙏
Reagan is goated
Reagan Movie coming out August 30th. Reagan.Movie
The only President I ever admired, appreciated and felt proud he was at the helm of America. Not only respected by our allies but feared by our enemies. I miss the person he was and the values he held dearly as a true patriot of the USA! I also loved his great sense of humor.
makes you an idiot
What kind a victor he was
He was a movie actor, then he had his own show on tv, with his family. He was also president of the actors union.
Campaigned on reducing the size of the Federal Government and left office leaving America with the largest budget deficit in history.
This argument makes no sense emanating from the left. Do you think that he was flawed because he was correct in theory but failed to achieve his goal? Or do you think that he is the greatest of all time because he increased government spending?
Do you know what “Deficit” means ?
The great recession and the all of these banking bailouts we're still dealing with started with Reagan's deregulations. He also waged war on Unions ( working class ) and the poor. Reagan was the best if you became a billionaire or even millionaires but this man was very far from perfect. I did like growing up under Reagan for the most part because he had a way of making us proud to be American for better or worse.
In today's Republican party, Reagan would not be welcome.
He gets praised on Fox News and by Trump, who feed you this lie ?
Regan flipped US off.
I am not American but Reagan was the best President since IKE.
This man ended the cold war and brought to it's knees the evil Soviet Union, Respect.
Where do you leave Kennedy ?
@@donald8354 JFK's eternal fame is due to him being murdered. he will be always & forever the young assassinated president in the TV era.
As a president he made huge mistakes, got dragged in Vietnam he had already 20k "advisors", the building of the Berlin Wall was another sign the USSR saw him as weak.
He averted the cuban missile crisis, which had there been no bay of pigs, would have never happened. He alienated Cuba, no excuses that the plan was from the previous administration, he approved it.
A mistake that nearly destroyed humanity.
Under JFK cold war was at its height.
He had shady connections with the Mafia through Sinatra. At personal level his conduct with all those affairs he had, even in the White House is unbecoming of a President.
His assassination ultimately made it possible ironically for his horrible successor to pass some important legislation which JFK could not.
He was young and charismatic, even with all his faults he was much better than LBJ, Nixon, Ford, Carter Bush Snr, Clinton, Bush Jnr, Obama, Trump and Biden.
Reagan belongs to a higher level, the magic of the 80's, he lifted a depressed country to a renewed optimism, The USA regained the respect it lost since Vietnam and especially under Nixon and Carter.
@@donald8354 Kennedy actually might have saved the world. People in these comments know nothing of our foreign policy. Kennedy deescalated nuclear war with the soviet union through great negotiation and was keeping us limited in scope in Vietnam, though he was in favor of funding the anti-communist faction there to fight for themselves. Reagan just got to bask in the fall of the USSR because the USSR had no long-term viability. If anything, Reagan actually brought us more war by giving weapons to this guy he called a "freedom fighter" named Osama Bin Laden. Turns out that was a bad call on the gipper's part.
Agreed!!! Lincoln & Reagan are my personal favourites. ❤️🇺🇲❤️🙏🏻🕊️
@@SconnerStudios Reagan didn't "give" Osama Bin Laden weapons. The US helped back Afghan fighters, mujahideen rebels, against Soviet Union only because supporting countries against Soviet aggression was standard policy and thank God for that because when you have a system offing over a hundred million in one swoop, that's the very definition of evil. But your comment is clearly bias & false that Reagan gifted Osama weapons. Let me guess, you're a democrat!?! 👌🏻🙉🥴 Don't forget to mention that America also supported Suddam Hussein against Iran since bringing up evil that once were not so evil seems to be your way of bringing down one of the greatest beloved presidents of all time that just so happens to be republican. The only thing I agree on is the threat and close call that was averted thanks to Russian intelligence and American, they were luckily not hateful nor serious like the politicians. There is a documentary about it my dad had me watch, my dad was a nuclear physicist at Los Alamos and had some good resources on such topics. I think Reagan's passion for America and belief in us as a people is why his memory is missed and he was highly appreciated & respected!!!
Interesting to hear you slam Reagan for trying to cut back on spending, specifically social programs. It's not sustainable....look at our budget deficit. At some point, it's got to stop. I now people who are getting social security/disability benefits who go on vacation far more often than I do...and we are in a two income household. I have to pay $3000 for hearing aids....free for someone on medicaid. Not free for those on medicare. What's the incentive?
You skipped President Ford and Carter????
Thank god
well president carter anyway,
Reaganomics lead to the opportunity for my family to escape from the welfare trap, yes there was a temporary struggle, but once my family was free, we were free for life, i was in high school when he was elected in his first term, I turned 18 in his run for a second term, and I didn't hesitate to vote for him, he freed our family from a form of slavery, and that is the slavery of Government reliance, once our family learned we did need Government to survive, we flurished!!
