And I think it was half the population then.
President Reagan was one of those Americans.
He had a private screening at Camp David.
His advisers told him not to watch it.
He did watch it.
Before that, President Reagan was a hawk.
He was pro-nuclear weapons.
His position was the more nuclear weapons, the better.
He was the one putting nuclear weapons in space with the Star Wars program, the SDI program, okay?
He couldn't have been more pro-deterrence supremacy.
He saw the day after, and he changed his position.
He wrote in his White House journal that he became greatly depressed.
His words...
And he reached out to Gorbachev.
And then they had a Reykjavik summit, a summit in Iceland, Reagan and Gorbachev.
