Came across these clips in searching for the national response and mood to the Iranian hostages.
Re the first clip: can you imagine a president since 2016 sitting down for a grilling like this Face the Nation clip? Also, about halfway through, a reporter asks "Is this still a crisis? Should we still be talking about this every day? Reporting the number of days of captivity? Tying yellow ribbons around trees and flying flags at half mast? [Is any of that going on now? Is Biden flying flags at half staff until our hostages come home?**]. Another asks Carter: why aren't you talking about it more?
And here, William Casey and Joseph Verner Reed can go **** themselves for trying to, or succeeding in, negotiating a deal to prevent the hostage release until Reagan came into office:
**No, he hasn't ordered that, but here's something I just discovered: you can get an app on your phone telling you when to fly your flag at half staff:
