KELLY FILE: REAGAN WAITED, SPOKE WITH AUTHORITY AFTER SOVIETS DOWNED JETLINER

How did President Ronald Reagan handle a similar situation in the summer of 1983? Watch Megyn Kelly and Chris Stirewalt discuss that incident and its lessons for today. One takeaway: Reagan didn’t speak publicly on the subject for four days and spoke with gravity from the Oval Office in a primetime address when he did. “[President Obama’s] endless talking, his endless fundraising, his endless effort to control every 15 minutes of every news cycle saps him of the ability to speak with authority and resolution when he needs to,” Stirewalt said.
