This is absolutely one of the most brilliant speeches in history. It should be compulsory to watch and study this speech for all high school students all over the world.
Im here listening on 6/10/21. This speech is more relevant today than in 1988. This should be heard by every American and shown in every school just to remind us not to give up on our constitutional republic.
I'm actually shocked that some liberal cancel club BLM, LBGTQ Alphabet soup group or ANTIFA isn't screaming that this gets shut down !!! P.S. also while yelling out this is how democracy works!
Many years ago, rather young, and listening to others instead of the man himself, I realized later than I should have what an intelligent & good man Pres. Reagan was. I have listened for some years now to all his speeches I may, on internet...also have read books (and hear) the many speeches of President Kennedy and find out what fine men they both were. I hope/pray we will have leaders like these two men soon. In 2022 I say this. This a great speech.
With some imagination and patience, I have been able to edit down that which you have tried to write. So, please proofread or ask someone to help before printing or sending messages to so many for their comprehension 👌🏻
I've kept on crying too whole his speech. What world we living now... at least post soviet union countries instead of progress going straight down on the way of regress... watching this makes you cry
Yup. Nancy Reagan noted one particular reason, personality/character trait on Ronald why she fell in love with him, which was that he was *not* consumed by egos. So, never talking about himself or doing something to make himself the center of attention.
The Republican Party needs to refresh themselves by listening once again to the the words of Reagan. I believe it would aid them in finding their identity and true path once more. I admire Reagan even though I voted against him. Given today`s rhetoric, Reagan is the voice of sanity for the party.
@@SaveTheKidsD2P For a party that believes in minimum government supervision to take on the mindset that the government has a right to tell people what they can and cannot do with their body is insane. democrats are not pro abortion (its terrible) but they are pro the right to make the decision on their own. As a Democrat who loves this country I will be damned if you are going to say or even suggest even for a second that you love this country more because of your opinion and if so you can kiss both sides of my ass.
The words of this man are as relevant today as they were then. There was no other man, no other leader like this man. The GOP needs to listen to this speech and heed his spirit of American exceptionalism, patriotism and honor. I miss this man more than words can say.
This is the message from the heart of us in all the Western world in these dark days of March 2022. Hope some of you that are better on computers than me can spread this into Russia.
It's still surprising even today that the Soviet Union even allowed him to make the speech but good on them for doing so and as an American I couldn't have asked for a better ambassador than Mr. Reagan. ( also I'm a Democrat so shh! we won't talk about that) Lol love this man.
This was during Gorbachev's time, towards the end of the cold war. At this time he was implementing many of his reforms and like perestroika and glasnost. And thats why at this time the Soviet Union was opening up to things like this and going through a period of reform.
Ronald Reagan, uno de los mejores Presidentes que ha tenido Estados Unidos 🇺🇸, y, que el “destino”, ha dado al Mundo. Qué HOMBRE! Qué gran Americano y qué increíble ser humano!! Cuanto lo admiro!! Valores de Moralidad, de Libertad, de Paz, de Familia, de Amistad, de Progreso…. de ESPERANZA por un Mundo mejor y más Libre! Un GRANDE, que permanecerá para siempre en la Historia!!! Un honor escucharle. Que Dios lo acoja en el Cielo! Y, si puede, desde “allá”, ayude, de nuevo, a este Mundo tan convulso, tan corrupto y con la Libertad amenazada. Desde España 🇪🇸🇪🇺, con todo mi corazón por Ronald Reagan! GRACIAS, por tus logros! #RonaldReagan💚 #MundoLibre🗽
I just finished Bret Baiers' book about the end of the cold-war where he uses this speech as a way to enter the story, and was glad to see it didn't disappoint. He was a truly great President.
I’m listening in July 4th ,2022 and this was probably one of our best presidents! He knew where we were headed long ago if the people started losing their freedoms!
You can tell that his visits to the USSR were awkward. Both the walk on the red square, as well the visit to soviet universities. But that's exactly why he did them. He wanted to restore the diplomatic relations and spread the word of democracy as best as he could.
This is one of the most beautiful and powerful speeches i have heard in a long time! About the value of freedom and peace. I'm not ashamed to admit i almost teared up at times with Reagan's beutiful delivery about Russia's history and culture and the hope for peace and freedom. How i would have loved to see the US and USSR finally come together in peace after all the decades of conlfict they went through. This being towards the end of the cold war with the Soviet Union undergoing rapid reform and change, finally opening up to things like this. I would have loved to see Gorbachev's reforms succeed and see America and Russia at peace finally.
So profound when we keep it simple. "People don't cause wars, governments do." Answers many of today's issues we face. "Given the choice of war or peace, the people will always choose peace."
I was born in Liverpool England in 1982, so I don’t remember much of Reagan. But I do always remember growing up believing he was a sort of joke figure. I think it was popular culture that lead me to think that way, but I’m not sure. This speech blows all those thoughts out the water. Wow! The world needs a leader like this man, right now. Impeccable.
Given the state of our Nation WE THE PEOPLE could sure benefit from the wisdom of President Ronald Reagan and the elegance of First Lady Nancy Reagan. President Reagan didn't do everything correctly but he always did things he thought benefitted the citizens of this Nation, protected the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the rule of law. President Reagan strengthened this Nation and never sold WE THE PEOPLE to other nations or corporate or personal greed.
Bill N How old are you? Gorbachev had intellectual prowess. Reagan, republicans, Washington underestimated Gorbachev; initially thinking that Gorbachev was a typical Soviet mold of old stodgy generic leadership. As soon as Gorbachev became leader of USSR he was on a mission to transform the country into a modern family of the world. Washington was stunned when Gorbachev brought down the Berlin Wall. Absolutely stunned. They didn't trust Gorbachev. They actually thought it was a trick! I remember that. But they were happy later. I was there
Gorbachev definitely knew he was letting the Soviet Union go and knew it was evil, he could of not let this stuff happen. I’m glad he did, good job Reagan RIP
The questions were undoubtedly fielded. Not sure if they were KGB, though. As I understand it, during Reagan's and Gorbachev's walk in red square, the "everyday average Russian citizens" that they met there were in fact KGB agents.
@@terranceclark9749 ua-cam.com/video/LZUu5WraroM/v-deo.html that wouldnt be all that surprising, considering the guy at the 9:57 time mark in that video looks a hell of a lot like a young putin, who was a KGB at the time
A very good speech, Regan certainly points out the weakness of central planning. Capitalism is far from perfect, as Regan acknowledges, however it is the least worst system that exists.
I agree this should be played again a series of Presidents Ronald Reagan’ speeches ..we need to stop and listen to his message ..instead of listening to all this rhetoric that is going on ..All Americans need to unit as people not divided by color.
He made decent human beings on this planet proud. He was one of the greatest of leaders who governed the best country in the world "USA". I am not an American but just imagine if there are leaders like him in every country.
I love the little hints he gives in his speech of how the American way is a better way. Individualism, government planning cannot replace millions of people and the the advancement of the human spirit when released from slavery. He knew what he was saying and wanted the Russian people to hear it. And they would act on what they heard on December 25th 1991.
It is difficult to comprehend that the Republican Party and the last president are of the same political stripe as this graceful man and his philosophy of peace, honesty and humility. What a tragic transformation in only about 30 years.
As one, well in age "old man" life has shown me that it's not about me, but what I can and should do for others. I stayed lost most of my life searching for the good life and working for something that escaped me. Marriage, companionship, children so full of life, wealth, and friendship, but I had nothing until I was free. After years a hole in my soul was filled in an instance and for good, because of my salvation in Jesus christ. President Reagan, a great man, a great American, still causes a stirring in my heart with his words of peace and strength. We need that so much today. President Trump, in like manor, stirs my heart today and causes me to stop and reflect on that feeling, which brings me to my knees in prayer, for he and his family, my country and we the people. God bless the children of God, Our Flag, our family, and peace to everyone
The man really knew how to handle himself and hold court, say what you want. I didn’t start appreciating that aspect of him until later Presidents started...losing form.
His inspirational speech reminds me of what Alvin Toffler once had written, in "The Third Wave". What he says here, even today, sounds new, both today have become true in our daily life. And the technology will be exponentially sophisticated.
Yes, and the guy next to him looks like Mel Brooks. Imagine if they ever collaborated, the combined genius of War and Peace and Blazing Saddles. The Farting Cowboys Scene with Cossacks.
"Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall" - Reagan "This is an island, surrounded by...water...big water...ocean water" - Donnie T learning what an island is.
Sometimes I get mad watching this because it makes me sad that politicians don’t talk like this today or the people of the United States think this way.
The thing is the majority do feel this way. Unfortunately for some reason it's the insanity of the radical left who want to focus on gender and feelings rather than the important things in life
@@oldnite3414 true. The left is mental. They BitLife the entire coarse of history has been about one group of people being oppressed by another group. They are Insane
Here is a President almost 90 years old. Folks, look at the huge difference between a real leader compared to what we have today? We are falling as a nation sad to say we can see the huge difference here in this eloquent speech.
This is the exact type of diplomacy that makes for peace between nations. This speech should be required high school curriculum called American History.
Naturally, Gorbachev wanted to establish a dialogue between the two countries in order to better understand each other. However, it is strange that he did not understand that this performance at the country's main university meant an ideological collapse for the entire Soviet system. The ideological collapse was subsequently followed by the state one (due to the inconsistency and low quality of the complex of reforms carried out by Gorbachev).
Look at the photo of Reagan meeting Gorbachev in Iceland. Reagan is 75 years old, standing out in the cold and looking fit and trim in a dark suit. Gorbachev, age 55, is bundled up in an overcoat and fedora hat, long out of style in the USA, and looking stiff. Gorbachev was 20 years younger than Reagan, but looked like an uncomfortable old man. Just like the famous photo of MacArthur, the 60 year old general, with Emperor Hirohito in 1945. MacArthur wears a messy army uniform, but the Emperor looks like a Looney Tunes character in his (long out of style in the USA) pinstripe suit and tailcoat. It showed the Japanese that their old was was obsolete.
I pray for the Russian people. They have been through so much due to their government. People just want to live in peace and be happy. That's all we want. We don't want war, violence, or hatred. I've seen war and you do not want it. It solves nothing.
It's amazing how Russia stayed strong led by the communist party despite this speech of former president Reagan that is so alluring as he discussed freedom to these university students.
So does our President however the Democrats continue to block the opening up of our economy, for pure political reasons with their continuing the Doom and Gloom reporting that scares many Americans. Dems. want our country to FAIL!
... " ..The explorers of the modern era are the entrepreneurs .... . these entrepreneurs and their small enterprises are responsible for all of the economic prosperity of America 🇺🇸 ... "
"The difference is that in American, powers of the government are those given to it by the people; not people's rights being those that government gives them." (@46:32)
🇺🇸 Ronnie might not have liked Trump's "personality" but he certainly would have approved all Trump's policies, actions, and results 100%, with two thumbs up 👍👍
I disagree. Reagan worked tirelessly to support a unified America. #45 did more to tear us further apart than any other president. Reagan was a moderate, conservative in some policies while progressive in others. He wa a great proponent of the first amendment. Trump's "personality" was a problem, but only a small part.
@@lisabauer9123 Regan's being "progressive" was within the normal meaning of "progress". Today the word "progressive" somehow stands for Socialist, a gateway to Communism.
@@lisabauer9123 I disagree about your comment on President Trump. It’s the media and the Democrats that divided this country. The biggest problem with Trump was he has zero restraint. That ultimately was his downfall. Nothing about his rhetoric suggested he was a racist, misogynist, or some sort of “divider”. The media’s tendency to take his words out of context and ultimately the Democrats opportunistic and deceptive actions are the problem (and still is). To be honest I never wanted Trump to be president due to his poor public perception that made it easy for his opponents to attack. But I voted for him because there is nobody capable in the GOP. There was nothing wrong about Trump’s policies. RIP President Reagan there will never be any leader like him again.

We had a Russian exchange student visiting our church about 5 years ago as an exchange student!
She was warmly welcomed by us all.
Love the joke at the very end there. Don't think the bulk of the people there could relate. God knows we need leadership like this now. 😔🙏🇺🇸
Amen!
Real leaders are rare. Reagan was a true Patriot leader.
Of course I know where I am. I'm on soundstage three at Warner's?!!!!???!!!
This man has outsmarted everybody! Look for his return....who else do you want to see? ❤ Rebecca Ann Grubb
Reagan, I want my factory job, pension, safe streets, and union back...
So does our President however the Democrats continue to block the opening up of our economy, for pure political reasons with their continuing the Doom and Gloom reporting that scares many Americans. Dems. want our country to FAIL!
... " ..The explorers of the modern era are the entrepreneurs .... . these entrepreneurs and their small enterprises are responsible for all of the economic prosperity of America 🇺🇸 ... "
Now… we have Biden.. How far we have fallen.
We fell before Biden. Trump was hardly a uniter...in fact, he supported the widening divide. He never even tried.
Still, up from the bottom of the pit America fell into with Trump at the White House.
Shit we have fallen down the rabbit 🕳.

Now a big problem today is computer technology.
President Reagan you will forever be loved
For your inspiration and love and openness justice and equity
If only he'd lived to see Google, Facebook, Snapdragon 888 or Dimensity 1200
That's my president
Reagan=GOAT.
A president taking questions?
Reagan would be considered a Rino these days.
Wow didn’t realize he also foresaw the internet age coming in the next two decades!
If not the greatest POTUS of the last century certainly top 2. Some would say FDR and I understand their point
🇺🇸 Ronnie might not have liked Trump's "personality" but he certainly would have approved all Trump's policies, actions, and results 100%, with two thumbs up 👍👍
I disagree. Reagan worked tirelessly to support a unified America. #45 did more to tear us further apart than any other president. Reagan was a moderate, conservative in some policies while progressive in others. He wa a great proponent of the first amendment. Trump's "personality" was a problem, but only a small part.
@@lisabauer9123 Regan's being "progressive" was within the normal meaning of "progress". Today the word "progressive" somehow stands for Socialist, a gateway to Communism.
I don't think so
@@Tecumseh4-k2z which part?
@@lisabauer9123 I disagree about your comment on President Trump. It’s the media and the Democrats that divided this country. The biggest problem with Trump was he has zero restraint. That ultimately was his downfall. Nothing about his rhetoric suggested he was a racist, misogynist, or some sort of “divider”. The media’s tendency to take his words out of context and ultimately the Democrats opportunistic and deceptive actions are the problem (and still is). To be honest I never wanted Trump to be president due to his poor public perception that made it easy for his opponents to attack. But I voted for him because there is nobody capable in the GOP. There was nothing wrong about Trump’s policies.
RIP President Reagan there will never be any leader like him again.
