- The legendary Walter Cronkite reports on the first week of the Iran hostage crisis, President Jimmy Carter, the upcoming 1980 presidential campaign, including a feature on a largely unknown candidate named George Bush.
19:48. Thats the way it is! The greatest of all time, Walter Cronkite.
I was born in 72 and I love a lot of these 70's vintage videos. My childhood.
iwas born in 87 i love these see how they talk on tv its strange a little bit lol but fun to watch
Boy how we miss REAL journalism! The great Walter Cronkite!
Walter Cronkite was America's Anchor for 18 years, and the best ever.
He was a devout liberal democrat. A commie a heart.
I clearly remember when this happened, I was 11 years old and in the 6th grade. My father, a marine veteran, came home from work mad as hell that this even happened. Thank you for posting.
50:38 - And that's the way it was: Wednesday, November 14, 1979.
Any chance you have additional episodes of the CBS Evening News for the remainder of 1979? or for the 1980 Calendar as well? Thanks so much for the upload!
This guy has posted a LOT of old news videos: ua-cam.com/channels/VTQ7Jdm8_6L3RxH3_EAGMQ.htmlvideos
I was just 13 years old when the hostage crisis occurred, and at that age, I didn't grasp the full extent of the situation. Now, at the age of 57, I have a much better understanding of the events that transpired. The Shah of Iran, who ruled with an iron fist, was indeed a tyrant to the Iranian people. What's particularly noteworthy is the complex relationship between the United States and Iran during that period. The U.S. tolerated the Shah's oppressive regime as long as it served American interests, especially in terms of securing the flow of oil from Iran.
Ironically, during that same time frame, the U.S. also began supporting Iran's regional adversaries, including Saddam Hussein's Iraq. This shift in policy marked a significant turning point in the geopolitics of the region and set the stage for the tumultuous events that followed.
Yes, Jimmy Carter was a weak President, but still seemed like a basically good and decent man. After he left DC, he became more active with Habitat for Humanity and helping to monitor elections in certain countries. Also, don't think he got too much support from DEM Congressional leadership, such as from Tip O Neill. Think what might have done Carter's presidency in was the failed hostage rescue attempt in April 1980. Very high interest rates, and another Gas supply crunch in '79 as well
I totally agree
19:48 - And that's the way it was: Monday, November 12, 1979.
President Carter was in over his head…..smh
great man but just not cut out for the Presidency.
Didn't help that Reagan's VP running mate was CIA and worked with the Iranians to hold the American hostages until after the election, then sold Iran weapons which that money was then fun else to South American contras, and cocaine was flown back to USA on government planes to create the crack epidemic so all the inner cities could be bought back by the pure Christian whites.
Carter was the last human being to hold the office of POTUS. The rest have been charlatans who have sold USA to the highest bidder.
50:38, This is news at its best. The great Walter Cronkite.
At age 14-I was too young to understand the United States/Iranian hostage crisis.
I was only 8 or 9 during the Iran Co ntra hearings and my navel seal grandfather watching with me answered all my questions and provided some insight not available to most.
November 4, 1979 - January 20, 1981 because it was announced at my elementary school i forgot what year
i loved him in liberty kids i never knew he was an actor as well
no commercials
What’s crazy is that Sadegh Ghotbzadeh was arrested twice for plotting to kill Ayatollah Khomeini twice. The first time he arrested was in November 8, 1980, but Khomeini intervened and he was arrested. The second time was in April 1982. This time he went to trail and was executed by firing squad in September 1982.
People forget Reagan first ran for president in ‘68, then almost beat Ford in ‘76; I wonder would Reagan have beaten Carter in ‘76 if he had been the GOP nominee instead of Ford
One close of mine who is a Republican believes Reagan would not have been president in 1976 because we were still getting over Watergate.
We'll never know...
@@reneauvray3440If he's a close friend of yours, he must be right.
I have been told Reagan would have lost to Carter because of voters was still upset about Watergate.
@@reneauvray3440 Is that what "they" say?
I vividly remember when this went down. Weak, weak time...
The Carter Administration's public diplomacy was absolutely *horrendous. Itself, so profoundly destructive. 🙄
The last album by Paul McCartney and Wings "Back to the egg" came out in 1979
Biggest mistake Carter did was allowing the Shah into the US
Why not allow the Shah, atleast he came legally. Every Democratic president has been soft and even sympathetic toward people who come illegally. Even to the point embracing them with open arms.
Carter ignited the Iranian revolution. In 2016, a declassified report stated that the Carter administration had extensive contact with Khomeini and his entourage in the prelude to the Iranian Revolution. According to the report, Khomeini "went to great lengths to ensure the Americans would not jeopardize his plans to return to Iran - and even personally wrote to US officials" and assured them not to worry about their interests in Iran, particularly oil. According to the report, in turn, Carter and his administration helped Khomeini and made sure that the Imperial Iranian army would not launch a military coup. Regardless, instead of immediately bombing Iranian oil fields, he allowed the hostages to languish for 444 days. Allowed the hostages to suffer mock trials and mock executions. He gave his authorization for a rescue mission that was destined to fail. Eight Americans were killed in the botched rescue attempt. That’s the dolts legacy.
@@Nighthawk1968 illegal border crossings are lower under Biden than Trump
@@TowGunner I wasn’t aware of the extent of the Carter admins communications with the Khomeini forces pre-revolution, wrong-headed and naive at best, another big mistake Carter made was going to the State Dept in December 1979 and basically ruling out military action publicly to obtain the release of the hostages; Ted Kopoel said this gave all the leverage to the Iranians; IMHO we should’ve given the Iranians an ultimatum at the beginning of the crisis; seizing the embassy was an act of war
The biggest mistake America made was to elect the Carter idiot. It's stupid to blame the Shah for the hostage crisis because Iran used that as an excuse. Carter will die as the 3rd worst president thanks to the election of Obama and Biden.
This is news by real people
Just information. No agendas.
how long were the hostages in iran? remember "fuck iran" spraypaint?
I agree
He was older
Stall is still alive
So why Iran 🇮🇷 hated 🇺🇸 & why the 🇮🇷 people 🔥 the flag of 🇮🇷🇮🇷?
I remember having to travel lightly, turn off all lights when not needed and the Pres kept the country on DST through the winter to curtail need for lighting by business. Today, we complain when our internet slows down, the drivethrough line is long or we have to join our fellow countrymen in any way. This was the 70s and 80s too, not WWII. Get ready, it will happen again. But todays Americans are spoiled and spending time on Tik Tok instead of learning new skills and becoming stronger. End rant.
You're definitely not wrong....
Has to be one of the first national profiles of George Bush.
I was 5 months old
7 months old
The commentator says Bush will eventually roll over Ronald Reagan. We know how that turned out.
So sorry that Leslie Stahl had such terrible plastic surgery later in life.
Compare this to todays news
This stirs vivid memories of Carter’s obscene imbecility.
The beginning of the end of the U.S
Marine Kevin Hermening cracked in just 9 days. Pathetic and embarrassing. Executive Order 10631-Code of Conduct for Members of the Armed Forces of the United States: “If I am captured I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape and aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy.”
He was from Milwaukee area
Like you would’ve done any better.
…
Carter and Biden the worst Presidents?? You can’t ignore the twice impeached, twice indicated, sexually convicted Donny T-rump. Now THAT’S the WORST President!
Jimmy Carter used to be the worst President ever until Biden
Klansman says what?
@@brentgarrison726 yup
Trump isn't worst because he's not qualified to even be called a president
tRump was the worst ever ... and forever.
Carter’s reputation rook a big upswing once the world saw the disaster Reagan/Bush made…
I was a about 10 years old when this broadcast was made and I definitely remember President Ronald Reagan in the debates against Failed President Jimmy Carter in 1980 because my parents made me and my siblings watch it and Reagan owned him.
Carter did the right thing and Reagan set the country on the wrong path.
@@jeffblanks529 Hardly. Carters presidency was a flop.
@@TexasMan77 I agree. People don't understand what a good president Carter really was. He brought Menachim Begin and Anwar Sadat together in peace.
@@TexasMan77 That's ignorant. Look at the position he was put in. Nobody could do anything more.
@@TexasMan77 carter tried to get Americans to slow down on consumerism, materialism and credit debt. Reagan preached greed and over-abundance. Then the yuppies happened. Now look at the middle class, shrinking and the elite are even more wealthy. So, only fools call him a flop. He did what he knew was right, but Reaganomics got us here
Ronald Reaganscrewed up this country and Trump just continued the madness. Hopefully, he will be convicted.
So you're ok with 40 year high inflation? Out of control southern border? Crime ravaged cities?
Another TRUMP HATER.... just full of hate... I feel sorry for you carrying that around with you all day ,life is about forgiveness.
All the best to you
Bidens next then
Welcome to the twilight zone. Carter was just incompetent the current clown is incompetent and evil.
Pinko Cronkite should have been charged with treason during Vietnam.
I agree
