## Transcript

Former California governor Ronald Reagan is about to hold a press conference here in Washington where he is expected to announce that he is a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination. One of the things that was a problem for Ford was the fact that his party was coming apart at the seams. Reagan was able to mount a formidable challenge to Ford [ MUSIC ] In the 76 Republican nomination contest. I'm running because I have grown increasingly concerned about the course of events in the United States and in the world. Reagan was the great two term governor of California and he goes after Gerald Ford as being weak.

I am quite critical of our foreign policy right now. Matter of fact, I think that it is almost anchorless and almost aimless. He's a good actor but he also is a formidable challenger Ronald Reagan was challenging a sitting president in his own party, a relatively conservative president. And he was basically calling him a liberal sellout. In the Texas primary, Reagan wiped out the president in a stunning victory. In August of 1974, this country had some very difficult, formidable obstacles ahead of us. And you blew it! We blew it in the right direction, young man, and those of you who [ APPLAUSE ] This was a period of time right in the wake of Watergate.

Americans were very very suspicious about government and about people who had spent too much time in Washington DC. So Jimmy Carter could run as someone who called himself an outsider a guy who wasn't tainted by Washington DC and it's corruption and it's culture I remember when I announced for president, there was a major headline on the editorial page of the Atlantic Constitution that said, Jimmy Carter is running for what? [ LAUGH ] [ INAUDIBLE ] [ APPLAUSE ] I'm running for president. [ APPLAUSE ]
