Speaker 1: The twentie anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall
Speaker 1: is going on right now. It's dark over there in Germany,
Speaker 1: and I have a story here from the State Control
Speaker 1: Associated Press. Merkel thanks Gorbachev on Berlin Wall anniversary. Now,
Speaker 1: let's be clear about something. Barak Hussain Obama was invited
Speaker 1: to go and said, ain't going. Got a bowl, gotta
Speaker 1: play golf, got a concert in the house, got a
Speaker 1: date night, Um, gotta celebrate healthcare. Ain't going. I don't
Speaker 1: believe in freedom anyway. At Wall. We communists, We don't
Speaker 1: celebrate our failures. Let Gorbachev handle it. Besides, I don't
Speaker 1: want to go over there and then be upstaged by
Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan. But I have not found any reporting yet.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying she didn't do it, but I have
Speaker 1: not found any reporting yet that says Merkel mentions Reagan.
Speaker 1: Now she did back on November four in the speech,
Speaker 1: she said, Ronald Reagan, far earlier than others saw and
Speaker 1: recognize the sign of the times, when stand in the
Speaker 1: Brandenburg Gate in eight seventies and Mr Gorbachoff opened this gate,
Speaker 1: tear down this wall. Uh, this appeal is something that
Speaker 1: will never be forgotten. Uh, mercles this appeal. So Gorba
Speaker 1: chops over there, and gorbachofs by the way, he's out
Speaker 1: there making news. Uh, he's now comparing the climate change
Speaker 1: effort here Middleton and mind Medalism is now replaced the
Speaker 1: Cold War. Uh, it's it's that's and and nations have
Speaker 1: to come together, Uh to solve that problem. How do you?
Speaker 1: How do you have a twentieth anniversary of the fall
Speaker 1: of the Berlin Wall? And not mentioned Ranalda's magnus here
Speaker 1: listened to son of the story. Chancellor Angela Merkel and
Speaker 1: former Soviet leader Miko Gorbert Choff crossed the former fortified
Speaker 1: border on Monday, two cheers of Gorby Gorby as a
Speaker 1: throng of grateful Germans recalled the night twenty years ago
Speaker 1: the Berlin Wall gave way to their desire for freedom
Speaker 1: and unity. What gorbach Off over there and helped blow
Speaker 1: it up? Wasn't Gorbachoff the guy desperately trying to keep
Speaker 1: that wall up? Within moments so they confused announcement on
Speaker 1: November that East Germany was lifting travel restrictions, hundreds of
Speaker 1: people streamed into the enclave that was West Berlin. Marketing
Speaker 1: did they cheer Gorby Gorby Gorby then. No, they didn't
Speaker 1: cheer Gorby Gorby Gorby then, and you know why, because
Speaker 1: they hadn't yet done the revisionist history to say all
Speaker 1: it was all gorbage. Also, about twenty years has passed
Speaker 1: and Gorbachoff gets all the credit. She lauded garbage Off,
Speaker 1: with whom she shared an umbrella amid a crush of
Speaker 1: hundreds eager for a glimpse of the man many can
Speaker 1: still consider a hero for his role in pushing reform
Speaker 1: in the Silva Union. At last time I looked, there
Speaker 1: was a story last week and some people say, you
Speaker 1: know what, this freedom thing in Russia is not working.
Speaker 1: It hasn't worked out. We got to go back to
Speaker 1: what So apparently whatever Gorbaschoff led Russia too is not working.
Speaker 1: And he's still fet it here as a as a
Speaker 1: big hero for his role uh in pushing reform in
Speaker 1: the Soviet his role for crying out loud folks. Uh,
Speaker 1: We all on this program and this audience know the truth.
Speaker 1: Lady Thatcher has has said the truth. And it's quite simple.
Speaker 1: The Soviets were defeated because they could not keep up.
Speaker 1: They were a bankrupt third world nation with a first
Speaker 1: world military, pure and simple. Get this headline here in
Speaker 1: the New York Times. The legacy of nineteen eighty nine
Speaker 1: still up for debate, meaning the Berlin Wall coming down. Uh,
Speaker 1: the historical legacy nine when the Berlin Wall fell in
Speaker 1: a Cold War thought, is as political as the upheavals
Speaker 1: of that decisive year. Um more details on that as
Speaker 1: the As the program unfolds, well, well, well, President Obama
Speaker 1: is addressing the assembled multitudes in Berlin at the Brandenburg Gate.
Speaker 1: He's on a giant screens over there. I don't know
Speaker 1: if it's taped or if he's live. Whatever it was,
Speaker 1: he had the god echo in there. He had the
Speaker 1: godlike echo in there. Here comes Merkle. She's approaching the
Speaker 1: ponym of Hillary. Just finished it. Pouring rain over there.
Speaker 1: So they have these uh, poor people holding umbrellas for
Speaker 1: these dignitaries who are out there speaking. Obama said, the
Speaker 1: work of freedom is never over. He left out a word,
Speaker 1: the work of ending freedom is never over at anyway.
Speaker 1: Welcome back Rush Limbaugh here the E I B Network
Speaker 1: and the Limbo Institute War Advanced Conservative Studies Today does
Speaker 1: mark the twentieth anniversary of the Berlin Wall starting to
Speaker 1: come down. It was midnight twenty years ago that East
Speaker 1: Germans were allowed to travel past the wall from East
Speaker 1: Berlin to West Berlin and exercise their freedoms. When Ronald
Speaker 1: Reagan demanded of Gorbatrop, Mr Reagan teared down. Mr gorbat
Speaker 1: tear down this wall. It came true two years later
Speaker 1: on this date. President Reagan, all but forgotten, it seems
Speaker 1: in media coverage of this event, was not alone in
Speaker 1: his belief in the importance and power of freedom. The
Speaker 1: Heritage Foundation was right there all along, reinforcing the policy
Speaker 1: of military superiority and ideological confrontation with the communist Soviet
Speaker 1: Evil Empire. The Heritage Foundation played a huge role in
Speaker 1: that intellectual conversation, still does so. The Heritage Foundation was
Speaker 1: intimately involved in several Reagan administration policies. It's when they
Speaker 1: really came of age, and that's when I first heard
Speaker 1: about them. And that's one of the many reasons why
Speaker 1: I am a member of the Heritage Foundation. Is the
Speaker 1: reason that you should and and need to be a
Speaker 1: member yourself, because become a member today and in the
Speaker 1: twentieth anniversary of this historic day truly meaningful, just go
Speaker 1: online to ask heritage dot org. Ask heritage dot org
Speaker 1: is where you'll find tons of information. Over a half
Speaker 1: a million like minded conservatives are members there. They are
Speaker 1: the keepers of the conservative flame inside the Beltway. They
Speaker 1: are relentless. Ask heritage dot org. Mike stand by there
Speaker 1: an audio sun by thirteen and are talking about the
Speaker 1: anniversary of the falling of the Berlin Wall, and they
Speaker 1: are leaving Ronald this magnus out of this uh praising
Speaker 1: garbage off over there. Let's go back June twelve in
Speaker 1: West Berlin at the Brandenburg Gate. The advance of human
Speaker 1: liberty can only strengthen the cause of world peace. There
Speaker 1: is one sign the Soviets can make that would be unmistakable,
Speaker 1: that would advance dramatically the cause of freedom and peace.
Speaker 1: General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek
Speaker 1: prosperity for the Soviet Union in Eastern Europe, if you
Speaker 1: seek liberalization, come here to this gate. Mr Garbaschof, open
Speaker 1: this gate, Mr Garbutchev, tear down this wall, and the
Speaker 1: wall came down, and Gorbchof gets the credit for nikayle
Speaker 1: Segeevitch Gorbachev, that's the credit. And Hillary Clinton was our
Speaker 1: official representative over there. And then Obama. I don't know
Speaker 1: if he was on tape or live, but he was
Speaker 1: on the screens with the odd like reverb. What he said, Hey,
Speaker 1: here's Obama here, the godlike echo audio saw by number
Speaker 1: thirty eight. You gotta hear this. This is Obama's his
Speaker 1: address to the Berlin Walls celebration. And I don't know
Speaker 1: again if it's live or if it was on tape,
Speaker 1: but they played it on the big screens over there.
Speaker 1: It's not people and the people here on this anniversary.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I stay there today, friends, respect to the
Speaker 1: ex always remembered and cherished sceps tape. Here Just a second, Mike,
Speaker 1: did you add any reverb to this? Did you take
Speaker 1: journalistic license to annemy reverb? Well, so, what they must
Speaker 1: have done. They must have taken the audio feed from
Speaker 1: the speakers at the ceremony rather than a direct line
Speaker 1: audio feed or else. Obama recorded it that way. But
Speaker 1: you know he has a tendency to do that, of
Speaker 1: of putting his voice in in rever about there. I
Speaker 1: just wanted to do to hear that. Okay, I gotta
Speaker 1: hear this one more. Obama in his echo fied address
Speaker 1: at the Brandenburg Gate. Today, he mentions John Kennedy, he
Speaker 1: mentions himself. He does not mention Reynolds Magnus, the man
Speaker 1: who made this happen. Even as we celebrate these values,
Speaker 1: even as we marked this day, we know the work
Speaker 1: of freedom is never finished. In a Berlin under siege,
Speaker 1: President Kennedy said, freedom is indivisible, and when one man
Speaker 1: is enslaved, all are not free. Few would have foreseen
Speaker 1: on that day that a United Germany would be led
Speaker 1: by a woman from Brandenburg, or that their American ally
Speaker 1: would be led by a man of African descent. But
Speaker 1: human destiny is what human beings make of it. You
Speaker 1: had nothing to do with it. The fall of the
Speaker 1: Berlin Wall had nothing to do with somebody from Africa
Speaker 1: being elected president of the United States or some woman
Speaker 1: from Brandenburg becoming the Chancellor of Germany. It was not
Speaker 1: about that I want to take all these events. Here's oh,
Speaker 1: look at what happens when we all work together. We
Speaker 1: didn't all work together. The Soviets resisted it. Eric Haneger
Speaker 1: resisted it. The whole Soviet Empire resisted it. They had
Speaker 1: no choice. In the end, there was only one guy
Speaker 1: who American liberals said, it was silly to suggest we
Speaker 1: could ever defeat the Soviets. We had to stay friendly
Speaker 1: with him. One man and one woman, Margaret Thatcher. How
Speaker 1: in hell you don't mention her either. But that's Obama.
Speaker 1: Everything is about him.
