And Ronald Reagan said we should... retain control of the canal because we built it. Actually, the French started building it. We finished building it. And William F. Buckley said, it's not a conservative position.

We should give it back to the Panamanians, which we did under certain conditions when it turned over to full control in 1999.

This idea that he said with the Panama Canal, he's like, you know, our our ships are charged more to go through. That's not true.
