Jeff sits down with Chris Burkett and Greg McBrayer to discuss Ronald Reagan’s famed speech at the Brandenburg Gate on 12 June 1987, in which the president called on Mikhail Gorbachev to “…tear down this wall!” Beyond this, the speech contains numerous examples of Reagan’s political philosophy and his respect for individual liberty and human dignity before the state.

Read two of the speeches mentioned to supplement the program: “A Time for Choosing“, and his Brandenburg Gate Speech.
