Well, the sky split and a voice thundered out in English and Farsi and Arabic and any other language as well,

return the hostages or there will be hell to pay, said Reagan 2.0.

Hi, everybody. I'm here with Steve Green and Scottot. My name's Bill Whittle,

and this particular right angle reminds me a great deal of time when I was much younger and much

stupider guys back in 1979 when as Ronald Reagan was elected in 1980 towards the

during the 1980 election we all remember that the hostages that have been held in Iran for

what was it 444 days I want to. And that consumed all of our lives.

That's what Nightline was originally designed as, is day 63 of the hostages being held in Iran.

I remember this feeling of impotence on the part of the United States.

I remember the weakness that these student savages who climbed over the walls of the embassy

in Iran took 52 American hostages and kept them against the will of the most powerful nation in the

world while we did absolutely nothing. I was a liberal at the time, although I was never an

anti-American, anti-business, or anti-military liberal.

I was just a kid in the theater department who listened to other kids in the theater department

didn't know damn thing about what I was talking about.

But even I was really quite impressed by the idea that these hostages that had been held

for so long by Iran were on their way out of Iranian airspace as Ronald Reagan was raising his hand to

become inaugurated president of the United States because they feared the consequences of a guy

who seemed to be serious about using some force.

So that's really what I want to concentrate on with this announcement, guys.

We won't know whether or not the election of Donald Trump will cause the release of the hostages that Hamas took during their terror invasion.

That's a term Steve used the week of that invasion, that horror in 2003.
