00:00 Welcome to your life.
00:03 There's nothing a retired governor can do, but a president.
00:07 Now he can do a thing or two.
00:09 Everybody wants to rule the world.
00:15 I will be frank with you, that as a citizen, I would not like to see any political party outlawed on the basis of its ideology.
00:23 Because I still believe, Mr. Chairman, that democracy can handle it.
00:28 I was a brand new KGB officer, given my first intelligence assignment.
00:33 A certain actor and union leader.
00:36 Dutch, there's a purpose for your life.
00:40 You can run from a bully for so long, but after a while, you're going to have to stand up to him.
00:45 It's my boy!
00:49 There's about to be another war right here in Hollywood.
00:52 The commies on one side, the mob on the other.
00:54 And you're right in the middle, son.
00:57 If you put as much work into your career as you do making your speeches, you'd have an Oscar by now.
01:05 Hello, I'm Nancy Davis.
01:07 Hello, Nancy Davis, I'm Ron Reagan.
01:09 I'm curious, Ron, what would you say is the issue of our time?
01:12 No question about it.
01:14 Communism and the Soviet Union.
01:16 Get in the game. Run for office.
01:20 It's you!
01:21 I'm running for governor, and I would like your vote.
01:24 I forgot your name.
01:25 Do his initials help, RR?
01:27 Honey, Roy Rogers is here!
01:29 And he's running for governor!
01:32 Ronnie, remember when we met?
01:34 You told me that you wanted to make a difference in this world.
01:38 You know what you have to do.
01:40 Governor Reagan again, typically, is against such a proposal.
01:44 There you go again.
01:46 But he was not afraid to take us on.
01:48 There's nothing a retired governor can do about the Soviets.
01:51 But a president, now he can do a thing or two.
01:55 Welcome to your life.
01:59 I was a lifeguard on a river.
02:01 There's no turning back.
02:04 And I learned how to read the currents.
02:10 Not just the ones on the surface,
02:13 but also the ones deep underneath the water.
02:20 I am about to start the biggest war of this century,
02:23 and I'm not going to fire a single shot.
02:25 You're going to blow up eight years of diplomacy.
02:27 Well, if you think that got there on the eastern wall,
02:29 you just wait.
02:31 What did the president know, and when did he know it?
02:33 What would you have me do?
02:35 I want you to fight!
02:36 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:45 Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.
02:50 Who wants to rule the world?
