On this episode of Newt's World, the Berlin Wall divided east and west Germany and was a visible reminder of the Cold War from 1961 until November 9th, 1989,

when the East German government announced their citizens could visit west Germany and west Berlin.

The reunification of Germany and the disillusion of the Soviet Union might not have happened and had not been for the vision of President Ronald Reagan.

President Reagan was a staunch anti-communist and he formed a partnership with two other leaders who shared his beliefs- Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and St. John Paul II.

Together, the three leaders all played key roles in the fall of communism.

On June 12th, 1987, President Reagan made a speech at the Brandenburg Gate in which he demanded Mr. Gorbachev tear down this wall.

On the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, the speech writer who wrote that famous speech is here with us today.

I'm pleased to introduce my guest, Peter M. Robinson, Murdoch Distinguished Policy Fellow at the Hoover Institution and former Special Assistant and Speech Wider

for President Ronald Reagan.

I am here today with one of my dear friends, extraordinarily bright conservative, but an amazing thing was, by the time he's 25,

he's a speech writer for one of the greatest speaking presidents of American history, Ronald Reagan.

So if you don't mind, Peter, can you take us back to the beginning in Vessel New York and bring us up through your early years?

I grew up in Vessel New York, medium-sized town in upstate New York. You're a Georgian newt, but upstate to a New Yorker is anything north of Yonkers.
