Remembering When He-Man Had the Power
6/8/20261 hr 40 min
For about the majority of Reagan’s presidency He-Man was the master of the toy aisle.

[gentle music] There's a difference between liking a house and actually getting it. Redfin is built to close that gap. Redfin agents close twice as many deals as other agents, so when you find a home you love, you're not a step behind when it's time to make an offer. That means less watching great homes disappear, and more zeroing in on the one you'll actually end up calling home. Redfin helps turn saved listings into real addresses. Get started at redfin.com. Own the dream.
