In President Reagan’s words, “First I want to take a little time to talk to you,” what does “you” refer to?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When it comes to speeches, using the word "you" is used to make those at home feel like they are being directly spoken with, and are important. Presidential speeches will often appeal to the masses by using terms like "all you folks at home" or "the people" to create a sense of unity within their followers(? or whatever you'd call them)
