How does this address compare to President Reagan's "A Time for Choosing" speech?
At nearly 30 minutes, it is a lot to digest. I wonder how many people sit through the whole 30 minutes. I would imagine that conservatives and libertarians will, but liberals will stop listening very quickly.
In that context, I would imagine that the producers in AS would be more willing to listen to Galt's speech where the moochers would turn it off very quickly.
Reagan’s speech had little immediate impact, but it was the manifesto for a movement. Some 16 years later it bore fruit.
But there was absolutely nothing else that they could do but listen. Remember how Mouch & Co. commandeered the waves?
