This is a rebroadcast of an episode that aired in November 2014 celebrating the 50th anniversary of Ronald Reagan’s famous “A Time for Choosing” speech.
In the final days of the 1964 Presidential election, actor Ronald Reagan gave a 30 minute televised speech in support of Republican Barry Goldwater. Goldwater lost by a landslide, but Reagan’s “A Time for Choosing,” later known simply as “The Speech,” put Ronald Reagan on the road to the White House and defined the Conservative movement ever since. On the 50th anniversary of Reagan’s “A Time for Choosing,” I’ll talk with political scholar and Reagan biographer Dr. Steven F. Hayward about the lasting impact that “The Speech” had on Ronald Reagan’s political career and Republican party.
