Carson: My first guest tonight is, uh, rather a phenomenon on a political scene as a citizen politician. Making his first try for public office, he was elected California's 33rd governor in 1966 by a majority of something around over a million votes. And he held that office you know for eight years. And he used to joke that in his earlier profession he used to ride off in a sunset with the words "The End" on his back. But there are those who would say that Ronald Reagan the 1975 may only be the beginning. Would you all complete the former governor of California, Ronald Reagan.
Nice to see you.
