In Berlin, Germany, President Kennedy commends Berliners on their spirit and dedication to democracy and expresses his solidarity with them through the words "as a free man, I take pride in the words Ich bin ein Berliner! (I am a Berliner)."
June 26th, 1963
I will always remember this
"Democracy isn't perfect, but we have never had to put a wall up to keep our people in"-John Fitzgerald Kennedy

Goofy ahh middle name
John Fortnite Kennedy
@@Kalossabraksteinyour right America isn't, we're a Democratic Republic. We elect people to serve from our states, and elect one person to serve as a head official. We have an electoral college to prevent one party from dominating that office.
@@Kalossabrakstein he’s not calling america a democracy he’s calling West Berlin a democracy. Even so, america has evolved from a republic to a democratic republic and you could make an argument for it being a democracy
Ich bin ein Berliner is right
But I'm from Hamburg and I'm a hamburger
Still better than being a frankfurter. 🤷

Mandela, Obama, FDR, Teddy Roosevelt?
I mean frank Sinatra was pretty good too
are you kidding me? he sound slike and inbred bostonian( which he was of inbred blood look it up)

And screw many more women, while married to his wife.
@@randomdudeontheinternet9556 lol look at what a shithole Cuba is 🙄
Really the only meaningful thing Kennedy did was the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty.
Unfortunately due to his complex medical history he would not have lived long after his death in 1963.

JFK..A Great Man...Sorely missed
He was not a great man. He cheated on his wife ALLOT.
Colton Maddox You have proof of his impropriety ?
Or are you just another liberal drone Obamanite living on lies and deceit?
Rich Mountains Obamanite? wtf? this was proven by many people.....and obama came way after Kenady....OOHHH i get it. I am talking to another paranoid fucker. kk bye.
Wearyaxe two points "Great man are rarely good men." Learn what Great means. And secondly what if he did cheat on his wife what does that matter?
Correct your spelling..It's Kennedy, kk bye ? Nice Grammer and an epic salutation.

Berlino ovest 26 giugno 1963
I am proud to come to this city as the guest of your distinguished Mayor, who has symbolized throughout the world the fighting spirit of West Berlin. And I am proud -- And I am proud to visit the Federal Republic with your distinguished Chancellor who for so many years has committed Germany to democracy and freedom and progress, and to come here in the company of my fellow American, General Clay, who -- who has been in this city during its great moments of crisis and will come again if ever needed.
Two thousand years ago -- Two thousand years ago, the proudest boast was civis Romanus sum.1 Today, in the world of freedom, the proudest boast is "Ich bin ein Berliner."
(I appreciate my interpreter translating my German.)
There are many people in the world who really don't understand, or say they don't, what is the great issue between the free world and the Communist world.
Let them come to Berlin.
There are some who say -- There are some who say that communism is the wave of the future.
Let them come to Berlin.
And there are some who say, in Europe and elsewhere, we can work with the Communists.
Let them come to Berlin.
And there are even a few who say that it is true that communism is an evil system, but it permits us to make economic progress.
Lass' sie nach Berlin kommen.
Let them come to Berlin.
Freedom has many difficulties and democracy is not perfect. But we have never had to put a wall up to keep our people in -- to prevent them from leaving us. I want to say on behalf of my countrymen who live many miles away on the other side of the Atlantic, who are far distant from you, that they take the greatest pride, that they have been able to share with you, even from a distance, the story of the last 18 years. I know of no town, no city, that has been besieged for 18 years that still lives with the vitality and the force, and the hope, and the determination of the city of West Berlin.
While the wall is the most obvious and vivid demonstration of the failures of the Communist system -- for all the world to see -- we take no satisfaction in it; for it is, as your Mayor has said, an offense not only against history but an offense against humanity, separating families, dividing husbands and wives and brothers and sisters, and dividing a people who wish to be joined together.
What is -- What is true of this city is true of Germany: Real, lasting peace in Europe can never be assured as long as one German out of four is denied the elementary right of free men, and that is to make a free choice. In 18 years of peace and good faith, this generation of Germans has earned the right to be free, including the right to unite their families and their nation in lasting peace, with good will to all people.
You live in a defended island of freedom, but your life is part of the main. So let me ask you, as I close, to lift your eyes beyond the dangers of today, to the hopes of tomorrow, beyond the freedom merely of this city of Berlin, or your country of Germany, to the advance of freedom everywhere, beyond the wall to the day of peace with justice, beyond yourselves and ourselves to all mankind.
Freedom is indivisible, and when one man is enslaved, all are not free. When all are free, then we look -- can look forward to that day when this city will be joined as one and this country and this great Continent of Europe in a peaceful and hopeful globe. When that day finally comes, as it will, the people of West Berlin can take sober satisfaction in the fact that they were in the front lines for almost two decades.
All -- All free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of Berlin.
And, therefore, as a free man, I take pride in the words --
"Ich bin ein Berliner."
Thank you Guerino for taking the time and trouble to write this speech up. The words are so powerful. The world badly needs a leader like this today.
The world is suffering now as a karma of the tragedy of assassination this great competent leader!

Today, Americans desperately need another young communicator like Kennedy that also has vision. The failure of Communism in Europe had more to do with Kennedy than Reagan - although the latter wasn't a slouch on this either.
True, but Reagan doesn't come close to filling JFK's shoes. JFK's administration prevented Communist takeover of Germany. Reagan's only knocked down the wall after nearly thirty years. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. ;)

1:55 *_"Ich biin ain Beelina."_*
I am proud of him.
When I was in the 6th grade my history teacher told me about this!
This was a strong speech, unfortunately his own country, his own citizens, his own military industrial complex, assassinated him, Let no fool tell you otherwise, Berliners.
Your theory has some compelling elements to it, but just doesn’t hold up under scrutiny. I know I have a masters degree in American history and have been studying the assassination for over 40 years. You must keep in mind Ronnie the vast majority of the “facts” you’ve used to come to your conclusion are patently false. Born out of wild conjecture and urban myths. I live in Dallas and give lectures on the assassination. If you REALLY want to know what happened that day read “Reclaiming History The assassination of John F Kennedy” by the greatest prosecutor this country has ever produced, Vincent Bugliosi. He put Manson away in the longest trial in American history. He spent the last 20 years of his life re-opening the Kennedy assassination and wrote the DEFINITIVE investigation on it. So many clear and stunning facts about the case have gotten lost in history. ANYONE fascinated and interested in getting to the bottom of what happened that day MUST read this book before coming to their final conclusion.
God bless and have a fascinating journey 👍
@@danielevans9379 No you’re absolutely wrong. I’ve researched this for years and in fact I was raised in Oklahoma and knew people who worked and danced for Jack Ruby and these beautiful ladys weren’t myths lol. They were real. The gangsters Butch Stalcup And Tony Catering were very much real too. Tony Papus, the Losers Club in Dallas? Huh? By you siting Bugliosi you just lost all credibility, just because he prosecuted the infamous Charles Manson? A drunk monkey could have won that case lol. Susan Adkins admitted it? I’ve been in show business all my life and being famous doesn’t mean you know anything or are good. No the Kennedys, assassinations, both of them were a vast conspiracy by the military industrial complex Eisenhower warned us about in his farewell address. Ike knew more than anyone else. And the mob too. Gaeton Fonsi house select committee on assassinations is the man.
@@ronniebishop2496
With all due respect brother you are in over your head. Bugliosi had to PROVE that Manson had the kind of control over these people to get them to MURDER for him. Remember Manson didn’t kill any of the 7 Tate-Labianca victims. The vast majority of the legal community were certain Manson would walk. Bigliosi is a brilliant investigator and legal mind. You are too invested in what you think to open your mind and that’s ok I talk to people like yourself daily.
Ronnie there were less than 15 individuals involved in the Watergate scandal that took down an entire administration and they couldn’t keep that a secret for even 6 months. Your theory would have to have involved many hundreds of people. It is pure fantasy to even entertain the idea that not even ONE credible person on their death bed would have given the entire plot in detail long ago. By now we would have IRREFUTABLE evidence, not just “theories.” I’m talking about hard evidence that would hold up in a court of law. Your theory flys in the face of everything we know about human beings. THEY CANNOT KEEP THEIR MOUTH SHUT. The Manhattan project was the most secretive operation mankind has ever conducted and they couldn’t keep THAT a secret. Nuff said.
@@danielevans9379 Ok just live there in that world if you choose to, but it’s not reality. I knew that when I was 21 in Vietnam, , that some people don’t want to know the truth.
@@danielevans9379 You think Biguilosi is the only person in America that knows how to investigate a murder? He’s not and in fact most great investigators agree with me. And besides he was paid to write something to get the people off conspiracy, but it didn’t work.
Today is the 60th Anniversary of this famous speech.
Great man rest in peace
I can’t imagine Nixon giving this speech had he won in 1960
I remember seeing this on TV in 1961, but the picture quality was much better. Is this the best video they could find?

i think thats why he said he appriciated his translator
He knew his pronunciation was terrible, so a little bit of self-deprecating humor went a long way.
God bless you, sir. I love Berlin and I admire you very much.
as a little child, I was there that day
I'm not an american and never was but for this man, I only feel respect, one (not the) of your greates presidents of all time.
My wish would be that america has a president candidate like him again.
he didnt say he was a jelly doughnut, he was referring to being in berlin.
zoopry> he was referring to being in berlin
He wasn't referring to being _in_ Berlin; otherwise he would have said _im Berlin_ not _ein Berliner_ . Besides, it would be pointless to say he was in Berlin, they could see that. He was relating to the citizens.

JFK could inspire people like no other president. Public service, the space program, pride in democracy.
JFK was a flawed individual, as we all are, but he understood pain and personal suffering. And he had the unique ability to inspire a people. He made us see the stars….
@@jimstanga6390 Good comment and good observation. Upon hearing of his assassination, a small group of West Berlin youth started a candlelight vigil towards where he gave his Berlin Wall speech. When they arrived there were 60,000. From the documentary "Four Days in November".
Kennedy made a drastic change in ideology after the Cuban crisis and had tremendous ideas for the USA and the entire world. But the military industrial complex Eisenhower warned us about in his farewell address assassinated him three weeks after the CIA killed S Vietnam President Diem, because they wanted to escalate the Vietnam war and they knew Kennedy was pulling out.!

It's not
@@genau14zeichen It is: Berliner Pfannkuchen or Berliners are a type of pastry originating from Germany (no exact location is mentioned, but they were known as Krapfen)
From the German wikipedia:
Berliner Pfannkuchen (kurz: Berliner) ist ein etwa faustgroßes Siedegebäck, das schwimmend in Fett ausgebacken wird, aus süßem Hefeteig mit einer Füllung aus Konfitüre besteht und meist mit feinem Zucker bestäubt oder mit einer Glasur überzogen wird.

Nothing. Either are correct and everyone understood him. The donut thing is a silly myth resulting from journalists not understanding a comedian.

• 3:34 - This just shows how contextual and ambiguous language can be. I have yet to see a single language that is flawless. :-\
• Another problem is that the difference between masculine and feminine forms of many German nouns (-e vs -er) are almost indistinguishable when spoken, especially by foreigners, so he could very easily have said he is a female citizen of Berlin. But he didn't; it's pretty clear (whether intentional or not) that he said he's a male citizen of Berlin. 👍
Female citizen (Berlinerin) is far from indistinguishable from male citizen (Berliner). Also e and er are not ambiguous because er clearly sounds like “ah” and not “eh”.

Likely something spread by the Soviets so people would focus on that rather than listening to the speech, which is a damning condemnation of their failures.
