This is a short clip of an interview Reagan did for Irish TV. At the time this aired it was the summer of 1984 and the conflict he is referring to is the Iran/Iraq War which was getting really bad and how it could effect oil supplies to the West.

I believe the "let" he is referring to as closing down is the Straits of Hormuz

  • Such a corporate whore.

    Pres. Carter established a plan to make US energy independent - by 2010.

    Reagan/Bush I - took the oil route ...

    2010 we have had 3 energy related wars -'exacerbated more hatred'- against US due to their policies.

    And now the Cheney [oil drilling exemption] off New Orleans ... !

    Ronnie was a good speech - reader ! Period !

    Greatest lender nation before him; greatest debtor nation, now ...

    Because of his failed economic, environmental and energy policies !

  • @jmjfanss Actually there is a left and right, though I know thats what those who think for you tell you to believe. The ruling class does play off one another to maintain division and keep people ignorant, but there is still a right and left. Paul would only usher in the end all the faster. Actually the fight is between wealthy/corporate interests and the majority of the population of the world

  • I love how this is a Dem/Rep war now, instead of focusing on the actual enemies. Carter (during an energy crisis caused by OPEC) tried to establish energy independance, but when the administration changed they had already increased production and lowered prices. Both Carter and Reagan were right in their beliefs and motivations, but those beliefs were being manipulated by foreign powers.

    We're Americans, guys. Whatever party you've registered with, you're still an American. Best of the best

    SHUT THE FUCK UP!

    BIG GOVERNMENT LIBERAL PIECE OF SHIT!

  • jmjfanss -'Pauls ..'-

    -

    Libertarian -'Corporate whores'- with slightly different rhetoric

    = freedom and liberty; but, but, but, but –‘more for businesses’-

    – negating the individual ! f___ng yourself with –‘theoretical nonsense’-

    .

    Ignoring the reality of –‘govt. protecting US-‘ from immoral, irresponsible, and negligent corporations still killing, discriminating and harming people, and wanting _’continuing immunity-_’ from it ! [Mining, BP, etc.]

    - un-American for going after BP ????

  • @Navywxman

    Bullshit.

    Ron Paul is the truth here, he is against big government.

  • @Navywxman

    Sure carter was taking steps, because he was controlled by big government as well, he's the one who created the department of energy

    the democrats have sold this country out just like the republicans as well, both parties do not represent us.

    And Only ron paul can save the republic and quit calling left/right, it's all a scam, this is a battle between americans vs. globalists.

    And I Am An America.
