This is all one speech in three parts. It’s as though Reagan was speaking into a time warp describing 2007 in 1964 terminology. Only the scale has changed. Scary.

”...the more the plans fail, the more the planners plan…” – Ronald Reagan, October 27th, 1964

”...welfare spending is ten times the amount spent in the deep dark depression…” – Ronald Reagan, October 27th, 1964

”...somewhere a perversion has taken place…our natural inalienable rights are now considered to be a dispensation of government…and freedom has never been so fragile, so close to slipping from our grasp as it is at this moment…” – Ronald Reagan, October 27th, 1964

“Does it make sense that our American government has the authority to violate The Constitution? No, it’s a contradiction in terms. How do we define what our government is? We define it by The Constitution. Article I tells you everything there is to know about congress. Article II tells you everything there is to know about the president and vice president. Article III tells you everything there is to know about the supreme court. Articles I, II, and III create and define the legislative, executive, and judicial branches respectively. Do they have the authority to just add power?” – Michael Badnarik
