British Couple Reacts to Greatest Recorded Speeches in American History (1933-2008) *EMOTIONAL*

[@halah34]

RFK’s speech was credited for keeping peace in Indianapolis when other cities had civil unrest after Dr. King’s assassination.

[@eileenegger1466]

And just two months later,he himself was assassinated.

[@robertsterner2145]

It's such a remarkable speech. I've played it for my students (university) so they can do rhetorical analyses of it. To me, just the fact that he can quote Aeschylus extemporaneously is astonishing in itself.

[@PS_testing321...]

It was fantastic, considering it was off the cuff.

[@bluerex03]

My favorite JFK quote is "Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty."

One of the crew of the Challenger was Crista McAuliffe, who had been selected as the first "Teacher in Space," a program designed to excite students about studying the Sciences. As such, the launch was being viewed live in elementary schools across the country.

[@vaopr1012]

The portion of President Reagan’s speech addressing the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster was even more significant in that it preempted the State of the Union address, and the clip omits the final three paragraphs. Most prominently the final paragraph; “The crew of the space shuttle Challenger honored us by the manner in which they lived their lives. We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them, this morning, as they prepared for their journey and waved goodbye and slipped the surly bonds of earth to touch the face of God.”

[@clinthowe7629]

yeah! i wondered why they left that part out? i don’t need to hear Al Gore’s concession speech, i thought these were supposed to be greatest speeches in US history.

[@michaelmacdermott6340]

Of course they want to leave God out, and of course the author thinks Gore's concession speech was worthy, NOT! Millie he wasn't the best President of the United States. Our economy tanked during his time in office. You can't say that a president is great because of emotional symbolism, or how nice they seem in their talk, but by their record of what they actually contributed to our nation and how the whole nation as a whole benefited. Of the Presidents shown, only two IMHO were great, and they were even on opposite sides of the aisle but both were great and actually admired each other. John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan.

[@vaopr1012]

@@michaelmacdermott6340 I’d agree that both are considered to have been great presidents. As often happens, people seem to forget Black Monday (the October ‘86 market crash), Iran/Contra affair, and Beirut barracks attack happened (along with other incidents) when President Reagan was in office. Likewise, JFK being a painkiller addict, womanizer, opportunist, son of a smuggler/bootlegger, and appointed relatives to key administrative positions also appears to have gone down the memory hole. Yet, they both at least tried to do what they viewed as best for the whole nation, and understood that to lead you must be in front.

[@michaelmacdermott6340]

@@vaopr1012 Beirut was not his fault even though it happened during his watch. I was serving at that time and he was my Commander in Chief. Definitely not his fault. As far as the crash is concerned that had been brewing way before he came into office so it was not his fault either as a matter of fact he set us on the road back to recovery. Cutting federal income taxes, cutting the U.S. government spending budget, cutting useless programs, scaling down the government work force, maintaining low interest rates, and keeping a watchful inflation hedge on the monetary supply was Ronald Reagan's formula for a successful economic turnaround. As far as JFK's personal problems, he had a lot of health problems that led to his weakness. But let me remind you that I had said that you don't judge the greatness of a president by how he appears or how he acts but by what he gets done. And remember, "judge not lest you be judged in the same way you judge", and "he who is without, sin cast the first stone". If we think our presidents are great by how they act how they speak and how their personal life is and we vote accordingly by those standards then we'll never find anybody that is qualified. "For all have sinned." Don't worry it's okay to agree to disagree.

[@michaelmacdermott6340]

@C Summers first of all I'm nonpartisan. Secondly I never brought up economics originally to begin with. I also never brought up any of those other presidents, but whatever. I also prefaced it with "IMHO". Therefore there was never any need for an argument. Have a blessed day... People like you. 🤙🏼

[@HistoryNerd808]

Regarding JFK, what I think makes his charisma even more amazing is knowing that he was that way, despite the constant health struggles he dealt with throughout his life, like back issues, stomach problems, and a rare adrenal disease called Addison's which causes the body to not produce enough of the hormones cortisol and aldosterone leading to all kinds of other problems throughout the body.

[@Whoozerdaddy]

And regarding Johnson not being reelected, it wasn't because he chose to keep us in Vietnam, but because he chose not to run. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXvIfaKDeKtpgNE Apollo 1 was destroyed and all 3 astronauts killed, Gus Grissom, Ed White and Roger Chaffee, during a test, before the actual launch of the mission, in 1967.

[@HistoryNerd808]

@@Whoozerdaddy Yes and no. Part of the reason why he didn't run was because he knew he'd lose. The anecdotal story is that he was watching the legendary tv host Walter Cronkite when Cronkite started criticizing the war in Vietnam. The legend goes that his response was "if I've lost Walter Cronkite, I've lost Middle America"

[@Whoozerdaddy]

@@HistoryNerd808 My point, though, was that he didn't run at all, rather than run and lose, as James apparently assumed.

[@hollyheikkinen4698]

I remember watching the Challenger at school - I was 14 & in junior high school. It still makes me want to cry when I see the footage, I feel for the younger kids who watched it in their classrooms. I remember watching previous takeoffs before the Challenger in class, but no live coverage afterwards (just on video later).

[@jeffbarton4981]

The greatest speech in American history (and also one of the shortest) is Gettysburg Address by A. Lincoln.

[@MykeruMedia]

The Gettysburg Address is so short and to the point that you can fit it in a KZbin comment. Thus: "Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." Abraham Lincoln November 19, 1863

[@manwithtwoeyes6911]

Unfortunately that was several decades before the first videos

[@yossiea]

The speech right before his was actually much better and people wrote so much about it. But like the speech before MLK's, it gets lost to history.

[@jrooksable]

@@yossiea:the speech immediately preceding Lincolns at Gettysburg has nearly been lost to history!😱...it was droning & boring!

[@Gitano_Music]

@@yossiea Just found this quote: "Edward Everett, a politician from Massachusetts and a famed orator spoke for two hours before Lincoln's two or three minute remarks. Later, Everett said that Lincoln's speech was superior to his own."

[@tbarnes10]

The Challenger speech by Reagan was also important because one of the astronauts on the mission was a teacher. Because of that MANY MANY schools gathered their students to watch a teacher go to space. As a result instead of seeing an amazing achievement schoolkids of all ages across the country saw 7 American heroes die on live TV

It makes a lot of sense for Millie to be so affected by the Challenger.Christa McAuliffe was a member of it's crew and a teacher.She signed up for the flight to be a role model for her students and especially to the young girls who could see that a women could be strong and brave.

[@caseyflorida]

Christa McAuliffe was a teacher at the middle school I was at in Bow, NH and she moved on to teach at the high school in Concord, NH. I graduated from Concord HS in 1980 and she didn't move there until 1983, so she wasn't there when I was there, but I remembered her from middle school, she was a great teacher, and I was so happy when she was selected for the space mission, and then so shocked and saddened when that tragedy happened.

Greg. Did you just say that the original speech by PRESIDENT ABRAHAM LINCOLN wasn’t recorded and therefore since that speech couldn’t be recorded- therefore other persons imitating LINCOLN with his original GETTYSBURG ADDRESS would be able to record it? I’m sorry to ask you this- but are you suggesting that using someone’s VOICE to grant some FRAUDSTER to be able to then take what one says provides license for them to speak (via recording device on some sort) on the original authors SPEECH? Um 😆???

[@gregweatherup9596]

@@richardeduardoscott3413 huh? Your response confuses me. Are you trying to suggest the compilation video which they reacted to is somehow fraudulent and/or unethical? I was referring to the fact that there were no audio recording devices available at Gettysburg (ie the phonograph hadn’t been invented yet & phonautograph’s were little known). There’s only written records - I believe 5 different manuscripts written in Lincoln’s hand (with some minor differences between them as it’s apparently unclear which copies were drafts vs. which was the final he spoke from) and there’s shorthand transcriptions from reporters at Gettysburg as well as eyewitness recollections from many years later. But there’s no audio recording to be used in this videos format. Does that clarify whatever needed clearing up?

A lot of people are quick to condemn America for using the A-Bombs to bring the Pacific War to a quick end. On the surface it seems like a valid point, they are terrible weapons and indiscriminate killers. The reason for using them at that time goes beyond them just being a powerful weapon. The USA was hoping to avoid a predicted 18 month to 3 year long invasion of the main island of Japan that would have resulted in a lot more deaths, both American and Japanese. The Japanese government planned to use conscripted civilians of all ages, elderly, women, and even children, for defense and were refusing to surrender. The estimated casualties for such an invasion were over 500,000 US and Allied servicemen and more than 3 million Japanese military and conscripted civilian casualties with long term Japanese civilian casualties from disease and famine being much greater. The resistance and predicted fanaticism of the Japanese citizens and the brainwashing and propaganda used by their government was born out in the Allied invasion of the island of Okinawa where women jumped from cliffs with their children rather than be taken prisoner by American soldiers. They were told Americans would rape them and eat their children. (There is video of them jumping from cliffs with their children while US Marines tried to coax them back not knowing why they were so terrified. This is not propaganda, it happened.) Making the decision to use a weapon like the A-bomb was not something done in a cavalier manner. The Japanese Military felt they could make the American losses enough that they could either get favorable terms for Surrender or simply force the Americans to abandon the invasion. So using the Bombs were the lesser of two terrible choices.

A scientist in Japan was working on making a nuclear bomb to use on America....why didn't he?

This was a deadly race and one we unfortunately won in order to stop the deaths."Chieko Takeuchi, widow of the atomic scientist, recalled her husband saying, “If we’d built the bomb first, of course we would have used it.

We were all in shock. We had spent the last 6 months studying the shuttle program prior to this launch. A school teacher was on board which drew more attention to it. They cut the best part of Reagan's speech about the tragedy.

The challenger speech really hits, for me, because he starts addressing the nation’s children. So I’m hearing that line about “the future belongs to the brave” as a little kid. It cuts deep.

James is a patriot at heart. Good morning from Colorado Springs Colorado.

[@catindigo9907]

Congratulations on 100k!!!!!!!

[@JamiIsIt123]

Oh wow! I can remember asking for this video a while ago! It's a really great one. Glad you two were able to get around to reacting to it. :)

[@dgo7800]

I know this was two years ago, but I have to add something. I was five years old when Obama was elected the first time. I never heard or at least never remembered hearing his speech until today, in 2024, 21 years old at the precipice of an election full of contempt and bitter division. My dreams have changed since I was five from astronaut to animal biologist to mortician to psychiatrist, and for the final time to lawyer and eventual politician. Going from a childhood in the Obama era where tragedy seemed to make us stronger and everyone believed in hope and unity to an America divided down ideological lines has disheartened me, but hearing this speech from someone who challenged the status quo and spoke with such passion, and knowing that two people from outside the country can respect and appreciate the tenacity in his words and in past eras of U.S. politics makes me excited to see glimpses of that unity again. In short, it makes me hopeful and I need to thank you.

[@kinjiru731]

I was surprised that the bin Laden death announcement wasn't in there, but the Obama speech at the end was a perfect note to end on.

[@SherriLyle80s]

I agree on that.

[@donbrock8948]

Because he was killed in 2011 this video goes til 2008.

[@kinjiru731]

@@donbrock8948 Well, the video came out in 2015. I'm not sure why they stopped at 2008 given that, but again, I do like how it ended.

[@dylanpadgett1742]

Subbed yesterday just in time for 100k. Congratulations

[@nakitabutcher6691]

This may be my favorite reaction video you've posted so far!

[@dennisharnish9063]

I am old enough to have heard most of these great speeches first hand. Our country is a long way from perfect, but we keep working at it. I am so proud of this land and love people of all other lands. As a former member of the U.S.Navy I will stand and salute this country.

Congrat on 100K subscribers!

[@warrendavis9262]

You can see shuttle launches from Jacksonville, Florida, and most of my high school saw the Challenger explosion in real life, real time. I remember, things got very quiet after it happened...

[@mastiffmom2592]

We lived in South Florida before and after but not at the time the Challenger exploded. We could see the rockets from W. Palm Beach. It always gave me goosebumps. The Challenger was so surreal. One of my Science teachers, Mr. Rigel, was in the running for the seat. We were a small community. It drew us closer, gave us perspective of the importance of being kind to one another.

[@socket_error1000]

I wonder if Millie understood the connection to teaching that the Challenger Shuttle had on that terrible day and why President Reagan was addressing American children. The reason children in schools all over America were watching that launch was that a civilian school teacher, Christa McAuliffe, was a passenger and was going to be teaching special classes from space. So schools had the launch being watched by all grades. And all those children, millions across America, saw the same terrible event. And their teachers had to try and explain it.

[@sandplasma]

Congratulations to 100K subs guys! Loving the channel!

[@blake7587]

I love how Roosevelt quoting Churchill made the list 😂

[@cornman3266]

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.-Abraham Lincoln

[@dani.dee4213]

i cant stop watching you guys, I love seeing how you guys view things in america. I lost a lot of faith in america, and its nice to see that people appreciate us so much, that its helped restore my faith in america lol. I didnt realize we were so valued around the world, until all this crazy stuff started happening. Definitely my favorite reactions channel by far.

[@757optim]

Not surprisingly, a speech that is known in most quarters simply as "The Speech" didn't make the cut, but it launched the political fortunes of one of the most significant U.S. Presidents in history when delivered to the nation on October 27, 1964. Many Presidents talked a good game. That man made a difference.

[@janikarall2673]

100,000 WOOHOO!!! Congratulations.

[@marykleeberg7162]

Congrats on 100000. All of these speeches are moving in their own ways. Bless you Millie there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with having feelings and expressing them. Knowing what we now know you'd have to be completely heartless not too feel the emotions that were running high during those speeches. The speech by RFK has been credited with calming the tensions in Indianapolis after Dr. King was killed. Enjoyed this very much. Thanks for the reactions.

[@leonardo22895]

Honestly I have watched your vids for so long I didn't know I wasnt subscribed lol. Always remind ppl lol.

[@darlenepowell9304]

I was in 3rd grade when we watched live as the Challenger exploded. My teacher sat down and began crying. All of us children were in shock and didn't know how to react. I will never forget that day.
