+Vibrating Wafflez thanks ..I know!..the truth always hurts so bad! Elitism is all about Wash.. D.C. and yet everyone thinks that the color RED means freedom!!? Really?! When was the last time any I mean ANY Republican congressman make a great change for you in the last 20 years. Name them all! Okay...if your a RED voter out there then tell me! Or forever shut-up!
We need another Regan. The "hope and change" is not cutting the mustard. Anyone that lived through the 80's knows America had a great economy and MILITARY FUNDING WAS PRIORITY ONE! Regan was a good man who had faith in the American people; regardless of race.
A remarkable speach of Ronald Reagan near the Berlin Wall. And... in 1989 it was Günter Schabowski who actually did tear down this wall... He gave the famous press conference where the wall did fall "sofort, unverzüglich"!
I remember with much pleasure and emotion those days of November 1980. We were still in Bucharest, Romania, me, my wife and our daughter, anxiously waiting to emigrate to California and I remember that I was "disappointed" that Carter lost to Reagan because I was an ignorant in those times. But how happy was I later with Reagan! God Bless him!

"Tear down this wall"! Remarkable speech indeed by President Ronald Reagan. Lets we forget that was a sign that God wanted the Berlin wall to come down to unite the people! To pursue peace! Think!!!
Reagan didn't do it, it was Gorbachev to show up and fix what the previous leaders screwed up. Gorbachev sided with Reagan because the entire situation caused by previous Soviet leaders was absolutely insane and he was the first to acknowledge it.
obamacare mean anything to you? america was shit on by bush....Obama's done more for that country than a majority of the idiots put in charge ever could have. how the fuck do you think canada feels? were stuck with Stephen Harper. .
I must say that of all the Republican presidents Former President Ronald Reagan earned my respect with his speech. "Tear down this wall"! It was great to see the American Eagle spread her defiant wings in the face of communism. Expressing, to the world that like Dorothy of wizard of oz said, "There is no place like home." God bless America!
Actually contrary to popukar belief most people aren't dying to immigrate to America. Mostly just the father of the family or chikdren seeking refuge status.
+AlexK9465 it has been going on for over 160 to 200 years...families live in both countries. removing several million lives will bring chaos to this country. USA allowed the slow migration for getting cheaper costs in labor, it was most likly a default plan that worked out better for our economy.
Most of the comments are satire, however, there is a huge difference in the Berlin wall and trump's proposed wall. I believe trump's wall to be an idiotic and impossible endeavor. That being said, it is a lot different to build a wall protecting your border than to build one restricting travel in a once free city.
On the other hand, the US wall has split families and caused the death of many many people. Very similar really. We would be better off with a much more open border, morally and financially.
+Rb ChauDavis immigrants have a far higher rate of welfare dependency than the native population, even after decades in the country, and hispanic immigrants have a much higher use than Asian or European immigrants. If you are concerned about morality you should build the wall, allow illegal immigrants to go home, and admit only Asian and European immigrants, or have a points system and exclude immigrants from entitlements. That way there would be no separated families, no dead border crossers, and no theft of the American people's wealth.
You must mean we as in Mexicans and other central Americans. How does the US benefit from having a bunch of uneducated blue collar workers flooding into the large cities and collecting benefits?
Oh, come on. It’s impossible for a sovereign nation to build a barrier around itself?? They’ve been doing that for millennia. The only reason we don’t have a complete one is powerful people in this country want more power. There are things powerful people value more than safety and protection for US citizens. Money and drugs mean more than human life.
Good day:President Ronald Reagan was the greatest U.S.President in U.S.History!We Love President Ronald Reagan from all of our Hearts! My Deep respect For my very Dear President Ronald Reagan!TG.
Joe Bryant Mexico has a wall too you know. it would be quite hypocritical of them to request someone takes down their wall when they have one themselves
Ronald Reagan = The Greatest President EVER!!! Thank You For Being The Savior Of Our Great Nation, Sir! You Are Loved & Missed, But NEVER Forgotten. Rest Well, Mr. Reagan. Ronald Wilson Reagan...1911-2004.
"Tear down this wall!" that's a phrase no other president ever said and no living president would ever dare to say because they all put politics first. Reagan is a hero for every person that has ever suffered tyranny and for all that love Freedom.
It's the opposite problem. Immigrants from the south are more likely to vote for what the US was fighting against in the 80s. Without the wall the US will become more and more like Mexico, Guatemala and such places. To preserve freedom you must preserve the nation. You must have a border.
This is a video for educated conservatives to revel in the glory of President Reagan, not for your bullshit. Trump's wall is intended to keep criminals and ILLEGAL immigrants out. You fucking moron. I can't believe you want illegal immigrants to destroy America. Stop butchering Reagan's quotes with your idiotic ideaologies.
If by _Growing balls_ you mean selling weapons to Iran and then using said profit to fund paramilitary drug lords in South America as well as directly funding the foundation of the Taliban. Then honestly Reagan and Obama seem have similar sized gonads.
Brian Haslip tell me how is it fair to legal immigrants like my family to wait years to get to be a citizen, and someone can just come in and go on welfare getting government money that shouldn't be used on a law breaker. You know what's funny the main apposer to illegal immigration are people who migrated here legally.
Praise God for such a wonderful leader who talked to the people about everything and pointed us toward virtue. He was honest and everything he shared with us. Pope John Paul II was his dear friend. This Pope had so much compassion and wisdom. They will both be remembered for their virtuous deeds and words through out all history. (You can tell when you hear the left bark about them)
How about some Latin American president going to Texas to tell mr Obama or some future Republican/Democrat president to tear down that Mexico-United States barrier (Texas Wall)?
Mexicon-United States barrier is exactly the same thing as the Berlin Wall was. Just that it doesn't interest people so much as the Berlin Wall did. Another difference is that until 1980s people were shot when they tried to escape, now the people are shot when they try to enter.
yeah.. how about no. we held the greatest hatred and fear for the soviet union after ww2 and until the end of the cold war. the berlin wall was a symbol of communism and hatred and ended that era of history. the border fence is there to protect the us citizens from drug cartel and the fact that its illigal to immigrate to the us without naturalization. and before the berlin wall came down we had no alliance with the soviet union. the two longest alliances the us has had are the rio pact (mexico, south american mations, etc.) and Anzus (australia, new zealand, usa). the fence isnt there because we hate mexico.
Well I consider the border fence as a symbol of racism and prejudices (an equivalent to Berlin Wall). By that fence the US is accusing all Mexicans as potential members of drug cartel. There are some differences between the Wall and the fence of course. As I said, during the Cold War people were shot when they tried escape when nowadays people are shot when they try to enter. The era of confrontation is still going on. Before there was Capitalism vs Communism. Today we are witnessing confrontation between the privileged and glorified first world against the despised third world.
Heikki Ekman The berlin wall is nothing of the same. People can come in from mexico with no problems. But what you dont understand is that it has to be done legally. Do the paperwork and become a citizen....How would you like it if someone came into your house and decided they wanted it as their house too... How are you gonna feel when you lose your job for someone who will work for half of your pay. Taking the border away will also make a drug epidemic in the southern united states. There will be no one to stop all those drugs from coming in. There will be no one to stop all the gang members and illegal weapons from coming in either. Why would the united states make a decision that only hurts their people ?
I remember he once said "we build walls to keep people from coming in, not from getting out". I am in Mexico and I agree with a lot of the feelings that USA citizens have, and also Trump. But he could achieve the same goals without insulting, mocking, hating, etc.
The greatest president of the modern era. There was no question who was in charge when he was leading the country. He was the President when I was growing up through grade and high school. He was so respected, same goes for his lovely wife Nancy who was always next to him.
It's easy now for many to forget the force of those words, the shock they gave. President Reagan was accused of being reckless, but he was bold, and his words were not only prescient but providential in *making* that wall come down. Thank you, President Reagan. And thank God for His Providential hand in raising you up for the task. :-)
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States when men were free." - Ronald Reagan
Ronald Reagan was honest and shared everything with us. God bless this man and his efforts to point us toward virtue. Pope John Paul II was his dear friend. This Pope had so much compassion and wisdom. They will both be remembered for their virtuous efforts throughout all of history. (You can tell when you hear the left bark about them)
This was a real world leader. He was a symbol for all the free world, either in Australia, New Zealand, the Americas and Western Europe we all admired and felt secure knowing that the present of our children was in the hands of this outstanding leader. This president made me proud to be born in the Americas.
Now that my friends is what leadership with honest convictions sounds like. No shout out to JZ, just real compassion in core principles. We sure could use a man like Reagan again.
In my opinion, Washington, Lincoln, T. Roosevelt, F. Roosevelt, and ESPECIALLY Reagan were the best presidents our country's ever had. I hope another good one comes to save us again.
On the 25th anniversary of this speech, one of the greatest speeches of the 20th century, one of the greatest expressions of individual liberty as a birthright, ever, and maybe, just maybe, one of the greatest orations in recorded history, let's all lift a glass to RR, and thank him for raising the bar for what we, as Americans, and for the rest of the world as members of the Human Community, have a right to expect from our Chief Executives. (November can't come soon enough.)
R.I.P. Reagan. A man who said, "Tear Down This Wall." USSR: Sure thing, sir. Thank you, sir, may I have another. ^That's a real leader. Thank you, President Reagan!
Most intelligent Americans haven't stopped caring about the world. I am a proud American- a proud American with a strong interest in other cultures and other ways of life. It's foolish to think of the US as a 'good' or 'evil' country towards the rest of the world- we are, like all other countries, primarily concerned with our own interests, and there is really nothing wrong with that...
Moments after this speech, he punched the wall down with his bare hands.

We need another Regan. The "hope and change" is not cutting the mustard. Anyone that lived through the 80's knows America had a great economy and MILITARY FUNDING WAS PRIORITY ONE! Regan was a good man who had faith in the American people; regardless of race.
Do you think Military spending should be priority number 1 today?
What an inspiring speech! I'm from Poland, Eastern Europe and we will never forget these words.
This man freed so many people with this speech...God Bless

I agree, Reagan is the best.

I still get chills when he delivers that line. Along with Ike, the best president since Lincoln.

"Tear down this wall"! Remarkable speech indeed by President Ronald Reagan. Lets we forget that was a sign that God wanted the Berlin wall to come down to unite the people! To pursue peace! Think!!!
Still get goosebumps from this.
I'm watching what america once was. Now I'm watching what that america will become. We have lost that america and we have lost our meaning
Ronald was the BEST!
I get chills every time I hear this. It was unbelievable when the wall came down.. not a dry eye.
I get chills every time
This is when america was strong! straight up calling soviets out. Then their regime fell. Merica.
Reagan didn't do it, it was Gorbachev to show up and fix what the previous leaders screwed up. Gorbachev sided with Reagan because the entire situation caused by previous Soviet leaders was absolutely insane and he was the first to acknowledge it.
We need Reagan back, Obama is an embarresment who can't run his own country
obamacare mean anything to you? america was shit on by bush....Obama's done more for that country than a majority of the idiots put in charge ever could have. how the fuck do you think canada feels? were stuck with Stephen Harper. .
Sho Jarvis
two million signed up!!!!!!!
Randy Rummler Two million also lost their private healthcare plans they were promised they could keep.
He is not trying to run the county, he is trying to ruin it.
Sho Jarvis Hobama care is a joke. Too bad you fall for it.
Amazing speech. Still brings tears to my eyes.
I must say that of all the Republican presidents Former President Ronald Reagan earned my respect with his speech. "Tear down this wall"! It was great to see the American Eagle spread her defiant wings in the face of communism. Expressing, to the world that like Dorothy of wizard of oz said, "There is no place like home." God bless America!
If only we had a president today who could look down south and say the same thing.
I'm Hispanic in a border town...and no thanks.
Actually contrary to popukar belief most people aren't dying to immigrate to America. Mostly just the father of the family or chikdren seeking refuge status.
+AlexK9465 it has been going on for over 160 to 200 years...families live in both countries. removing several million lives will bring chaos to this country. USA allowed the slow migration for getting cheaper costs in labor, it was most likly a default plan that worked out better for our economy.
+Gerardo Ortega Why is it that everybody with a Mexican last name denies that illegal immigration is bad?
DangAssDan I'm uh....not Mexican. The Spanish took over more than just Mexico.
Most of the comments are satire, however, there is a huge difference in the Berlin wall and trump's proposed wall. I believe trump's wall to be an idiotic and impossible endeavor. That being said, it is a lot different to build a wall protecting your border than to build one restricting travel in a once free city.
On the other hand, the US wall has split families and caused the death of many many people. Very similar really. We would be better off with a much more open border, morally and financially.
+Rb ChauDavis immigrants have a far higher rate of welfare dependency than the native population, even after decades in the country, and hispanic immigrants have a much higher use than Asian or European immigrants. If you are concerned about morality you should build the wall, allow illegal immigrants to go home, and admit only Asian and European immigrants, or have a points system and exclude immigrants from entitlements. That way there would be no separated families, no dead border crossers, and no theft of the American people's wealth.
You must mean we as in Mexicans and other central Americans. How does the US benefit from having a bunch of uneducated blue collar workers flooding into the large cities and collecting benefits?
Oh, come on. It’s impossible for a sovereign nation to build a barrier around itself?? They’ve been doing that for millennia. The only reason we don’t have a complete one is powerful people in this country want more power. There are things powerful people value more than safety and protection for US citizens. Money and drugs mean more than human life.
I love this picture of my beautiful nieces...
This is awesome man
In the present days we need American president strong enough like Reagan to say: Mr Putin, Don't rise this wall !!"
"Mr. Trump, tear down this wall!" - Future Canadian leader 2021
Good day:President Ronald Reagan was the greatest U.S.President in U.S.History!We Love President Ronald Reagan from all of our Hearts! My Deep respect For my very Dear President Ronald Reagan!TG.
I'm not a republican, but damn, this was an amazing moment in American history. Actually tearing up a little bit.
TEAR DOWN THAT WALL!
In a few years it will be: Trump, tear down this wall!
a
Trump built up this wall
+Gwalch Mai Speak up your mind and fuck them.
***** Hey t'es-tu Franco-Ontarien?
Oui je suis mon ami.
GOD BLESS ALL THOSE WHO COME TO THIS PLACE!
This was a true American President.
"Mr. Trump, tear down this wall." - Mexican president, circa 2017
+Joe Bryant They will if you quit running across illegally
Trump: Never
Joe Bryant Mexico has a wall too you know. it would be quite hypocritical of them to request someone takes down their wall when they have one themselves
"Mr. Trump, tear down this wall...Meheeco eez getting flooded weeth Guatemalans!
Mr. Putin, I'll have more flexibility after my reelection.
Ronald Reagan = The Greatest President EVER!!!
Thank You For Being The Savior Of Our Great Nation, Sir!
You Are Loved & Missed, But NEVER Forgotten. Rest Well, Mr. Reagan.
Ronald Wilson Reagan...1911-2004.
"Tear down this wall!" that's a phrase no other president ever said and no living president would ever dare to say because they all put politics first. Reagan is a hero for every person that has ever suffered tyranny and for all that love Freedom.
Mr.Trump
Don't Build That Wall
It's the opposite problem. Immigrants from the south are more likely to vote for what the US was fighting against in the 80s. Without the wall the US will become more and more like Mexico, Guatemala and such places. To preserve freedom you must preserve the nation. You must have a border.
This is a video for educated conservatives to revel in the glory of President Reagan, not for your bullshit. Trump's wall is intended to keep criminals and ILLEGAL immigrants out. You fucking moron. I can't believe you want illegal immigrants to destroy America. Stop butchering Reagan's quotes with your idiotic ideaologies.
regan hated racists in every form
Reagan is cool.
I was born in '97, and I feel like I grew up knowing this guy real well...
Still gives me chills. God Bless the Spirit of Ronald Reagan. Semper Fi.
Mister Trump, build up this wall ! (The one between the U.S. And Mexico)
Lol
+John Juhasz what good will that do? the mexicans know how to do great tunneling..have you not seen the news on drug smuggling in tunnels?
+ThePieguy321's channel And 40% of "illegal immigrants" just overstay visas. The wall won't do shit.
Lets see Obama grow some balls like this.
Then I guess you don't like real leadership, but like dictators.
joshjhutton or he doesn't like people who actually do things not just for the country, but for the world.
***** You didn't elect Obama, bro. The Electoral College did. Shiit.
If by _Growing balls_ you mean selling weapons to Iran and then using said profit to fund paramilitary drug lords in South America as well as directly funding the foundation of the Taliban.
Then honestly Reagan and Obama seem have similar sized gonads.
And was he found to have knowledge of that? No he wasn't so you can go Fuck yourself and your lies.Its always the weirdos.
I got the goosebumps when Ronald Reagan said "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!!
thumbs up if you did too!
Something in my heart just rose when I saw Americans and Germans cheering together for the same thing.
My German friend hates Ronald Reagan. Oh, the irony...
thegamer549 maybe hes dumb
Gog Mclaine Not really, unless you despise prosperity.
+thegamer549 Maybe he is Stasi.
GOT it, how I wish he could be cloned
I'm adverse to the practice. But it almost has to be done to save this nation, let alone the world!
Goosebumps every time.
It goes beyond style. They are two men of different substance and different values.
*comes to watch reagan speech*
*sees pointless political arguments*
Hey, remember when a Republican hero gave a speech about tearing down walls, instead of building them?
Pepperidge Farms remembers.
Brian Haslip this wall cut a country in half, the other will protect a country.
protect? lol
Protect it from what? People who want a better life and are willing to work for it?
Oh, I forgot about all the terrorists that come from Mexico. /s
Brian Haslip tell me how is it fair to legal immigrants like my family to wait years to get to be a citizen, and someone can just come in and go on welfare getting government money that shouldn't be used on a law breaker. You know what's funny the main apposer to illegal immigration are people who migrated here legally.
Brian Haslip And alot of crime was from illegals, look at that women who daughter was raped and murdered and ask her why illegal immigration is bad
one of the greatest speaches ever,by the man who brought us back from the shame of the Carter years.
Praise God for such a wonderful leader who talked to the people about everything and pointed us toward virtue. He was honest and everything he shared with us. Pope John Paul II was his dear friend. This Pope had so much compassion and wisdom. They will both be remembered for their virtuous deeds and words through out all history. (You can tell when you hear the left bark about them)
How about some Latin American president going to Texas to tell mr Obama or some future Republican/Democrat president to tear down that Mexico-United States barrier (Texas Wall)?
Its two different unaffiliated countries, nowhere near the same thing.
Mexicon-United States barrier is exactly the same thing as the Berlin Wall was. Just that it doesn't interest people so much as the Berlin Wall did. Another difference is that until 1980s people were shot when they tried to escape, now the people are shot when they try to enter.
yeah.. how about no. we held the greatest hatred and fear for the soviet union after ww2 and until the end of the cold war. the berlin wall was a symbol of communism and hatred and ended that era of history. the border fence is there to protect the us citizens from drug cartel and the fact that its illigal to immigrate to the us without naturalization. and before the berlin wall came down we had no alliance with the soviet union. the two longest alliances the us has had are the rio pact (mexico, south american mations, etc.) and Anzus (australia, new zealand, usa). the fence isnt there because we hate mexico.
Well I consider the border fence as a symbol of racism and prejudices (an equivalent to Berlin Wall). By that fence the US is accusing all Mexicans as potential members of drug cartel. There are some differences between the Wall and the fence of course. As I said, during the Cold War people were shot when they tried escape when nowadays people are shot when they try to enter. The era of confrontation is still going on. Before there was Capitalism vs Communism. Today we are witnessing confrontation between the privileged and glorified first world against the despised third world.
Heikki Ekman The berlin wall is nothing of the same. People can come in from mexico with no problems. But what you dont understand is that it has to be done legally. Do the paperwork and become a citizen....How would you like it if someone came into your house and decided they wanted it as their house too... How are you gonna feel when you lose your job for someone who will work for half of your pay. Taking the border away will also make a drug epidemic in the southern united states. There will be no one to stop all those drugs from coming in. There will be no one to stop all the gang members and illegal weapons from coming in either. Why would the united states make a decision that only hurts their people ?
I remember he once said "we build walls to keep people from coming in, not from getting out". I am in Mexico and I agree with a lot of the feelings that USA citizens have, and also Trump. But he could achieve the same goals without insulting, mocking, hating, etc.
Ronnie a true free loving person for the free world, we need another Ronnie Reagan.
was station in Germany when the walls came down what a day that was!
Obama prefers to tear down his red lines.
Yeah, he also likes to tear down the wall between the US and Mexico so illegals can come in
REAGAN SMASH!!
Ronald Reagan makes me wish I would have been an adult during his administration, I was only a young child at the time.
Wow, just wow.
What does Reagen know about freedom? He himself helped some of the cruelest dictatorships in the world.
He knows that Mr. Gorbachev opened the gate and tore down the wall.
Build this wall!
- Donald Trump
No tear down this wall
- Ronald Reagan
The greatest president of the modern era. There was no question who was in charge when he was leading the country. He was the President when I was growing up through grade and high school. He was so respected, same goes for his lovely wife Nancy who was always next to him.
Very empowered speech
It's easy now for many to forget the force of those words, the shock they gave. President Reagan was accused of being reckless, but he was bold, and his words were not only prescient but providential in *making* that wall come down. Thank you, President Reagan. And thank God for His Providential hand in raising you up for the task. :-)
Trump at the Mexican border: Mr. Enrique Peña Nieto, pay for the wall!
*Crowd cheers*
Vote for Trump!

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States when men were free." - Ronald Reagan
Diese Rede von Reagan verursacht mir immer noch eine Gänsehaut....
Ronald Reagan was honest and shared everything with us. God bless this man and his efforts to point us toward virtue. Pope John Paul II was his dear friend. This Pope had so much compassion and wisdom. They will both be remembered for their virtuous efforts throughout all of history. (You can tell when you hear the left bark about them)
This was a real world leader. He was a symbol for all the free world, either in Australia, New Zealand, the Americas and Western Europe we all admired and felt secure knowing that the present of our children was in the hands of this outstanding leader. This president made me proud to be born in the Americas.
Mr. Reagan. You will always be the greatest president that had ever lived in my eyes and in your countrymen and countrywomen's eyes too.
Now that my friends is what leadership with honest convictions sounds like. No shout out to JZ, just real compassion in core principles. We sure could use a man like Reagan again.
25 years ago today, never a more powerful speech. I salute you Mr. President!
This makes me see Reagan as the world leader he certainly was. He kept to his persistent vision of freedom for all, and never gave in.
In my opinion, Washington, Lincoln, T. Roosevelt, F. Roosevelt, and ESPECIALLY Reagan were the best presidents our country's ever had. I hope another good one comes to save us again.
Good to know someone likes us!
All politics aside, Reagan truly was "the great orator" I still enjoy his speeches and I'm not even an American.
If only we could have a president like Ronald Reagan again.
On the 25th anniversary of this speech, one of the greatest speeches of the 20th century, one of the greatest expressions of individual liberty as a birthright, ever, and maybe, just maybe, one of the greatest orations in recorded history, let's all lift a glass to RR, and thank him for raising the bar for what we, as Americans, and for the rest of the world as members of the Human Community, have a right to expect from our Chief Executives.
(November can't come soon enough.)
Mr. Trump, build up this wall.
Got goosebumps when he said tear down this wall.
Since the founding fathers of America no leader has embodied the American spirit better we need strong like him now more than ever
R.I.P. Reagan. A man who said, "Tear Down This Wall."
USSR: Sure thing, sir. Thank you, sir, may I have another.
^That's a real leader. Thank you, President Reagan!
Reagan - Tear Down This Wall, pop hit 1987
Most intelligent Americans haven't stopped caring about the world. I am a proud American- a proud American with a strong interest in other cultures and other ways of life. It's foolish to think of the US as a 'good' or 'evil' country towards the rest of the world- we are, like all other countries, primarily concerned with our own interests, and there is really nothing wrong with that...
