You know, it's a free society here.
It's about ideas we're able to express and we're able to, like, make up your own mind about it rather than deciding for people about what it was.

I mean, Reagan was a Democrat for 40 years until the last 40 years of his life, or 35, he was a Republican.
And it's about the Cold War and about his fight against communism.
And, you know, we won the Cold War under Reagan.
And it was before that appeasement had been practiced in this country.
Jimmy Carter, God bless him, you know, he did really well with the Egyptians and Israel in making peace in the Middle East.
It was great about that.
He wasn't so great with the Iran hostage thing.
You remember the foiled, disastrous rescue attempt, you know, back then.
It seemed like everything failed.
But with the Soviets, he'd appeased it like...
You know, gave away the B-1 bomber.
He gave away a lot of things without getting anything in return from the Soviets as far as reducing the threat of war.
And they took that, of course, as weakness and started to really build up their military and their missile strength to an unprecedented level.
There's a lot about America that it's kind of sweet in a way that, you know, the kumbaya thing.
You know, why can't all โ why can't we be friends and just โ you know, the humanity.
