Census76-10The census has one Constitutional function, to get an accurate count of people in each state so that members of the House of Representatives can be apportioned out every ten years. Yet, the Census has turned into a datamining operation, digging deep into the lives of its citizens, which Reagan found to be wholly unnecessary.

Electoral College76-12Politicians hate the Electoral College, which is probably the best reason to keep it around. Without it, presidential candidates could ignore the fly-over states.

Brezhnev76-12In a March 1977 speech, Brezhnev suggest that Israel needs to return the land it captured in the 6-Day War. He claims to be arguing over "the impermissibility of acquisition of territory by war." Reagan then points out the hypocrisy of the statement.

Miranda76-12The Miranda Warning ensures that a criminal suspect has the right to remain silent and to legal counsel. In 1977, the case involving the kidnap and murder of Pamela Powers brought further revision to the proper use of the warming.

Kidco76-13In a story that starts with 3 children who decide to use manure from a nearby farm to fertilize a local golf course, you'd hardly expect to hear that Reagan would get involved, but when the government of California goes after the kids for tax evasion, failure to obtain the proper permits and several other regulatory offenses, it gets amusing. The story was later turned into a comedy film called, appropriately Kidco.
Keng Piao76-13Reagan comments on a speech given by Keng Piao, director of the Department for Foreign Liaison, regarding relations between China, Russia and the United States. Let's just say, they're playing both sides.

Drugs and the FDA76-13 Can you define "effective?" Is it important that a drug is effective? Is it the government's job to determine if a drug is effective? How many drugs have been rejected for sale in the United States because the FDA doesn't consider them "effective?" Reagan mentions the West Germany Thalidomide disaster of the late 50s/early 60s.

Cambodia I76-14 Reagan shares details about the Communist takeover of Cambodia by the Khmer Rouge and Pol Pot as it is outlined in the 1977 book Murder of a Gentle Land: The Untold Story of Communist Genocide in Cambodia. Hundreds of refugees were interviewed for the book, telling their stories of the forced evacuation of Phnom Penh and wholesale murder, with a goal of returned to an agrarian society.

Russians76-14"Standing in the Athenian marketplace 2000 years ago, Demosthenes asked, "What sane man would let another man's words rather than his deed tell him who is at war and who is at peace with him?" I actually can't find any reference to this Demosthenes quote, but the point is being made that the Soviet Union talks about peace, while throughout the world it is flexing military might in a way we should be taking notice. Reagan quotes from an American Spectator editorial: A World Without Russians by R. Emmett Tyrrell.

An Army Chinook helicopter carrying 4 inadvertently crossed into North Korean airspace and was shot down. Three of the crew were killed. Reagan seems to take the North Koreans to task for "an innocent mistake".
