Visiting The Berlin Wall | Coffee With Kenny · Kenny Wallace Media

  Happy Saturday morning, everybody from Berlin, Germany,
• 0:05
  right here at Checkpoint Charlie.
• 0:08
  So you are better at history than me because I only went one
• 0:13
  through 12. We are at one of the most famous
• 0:16
  places in all the world as far as wars went.
• 0:21
  So when when we liberated Germany, the Russians and
• 0:27
  America, you know, drove out the bad guys.
• 0:32
  Well, then you remember Reagan, President Reagan of America, he
• 0:37
  said Gorbachev, tear down that wall.
• 0:40
  So, you know, when the war ended, they put a wall up that
• 0:46
  separated Germany and the kids wanted to play, but Russia said
• 0:52
  no. So if you escape, try to get to
• 0:55
  one part of Germany, they shoot you pretty ugly part.
• 0:59
  So anyway, up here is still there is still it's Checkpoint
• 1:05
  Charlie sounds sounds like something the Americans would
• 1:08
  say. And so anyway, I'm going to take
• 1:12
  you with me. I might not do a lot of talking
• 1:14
  because I want to show respect. They love Christmas here, by the
• 1:17
  way, they're still doing Christmas, but so I'm going to
• 1:24
  turn the camera around. I gave you the history lesson.
• 1:26
  Checkpoint Charlie is a very big deal.
• 1:28
  The American flag is still flying right here in Berlin.
• 1:31
  Because they're very thankful. They're very thankful.
• 1:36
  That building is extremely old. I've already said it one of my
• 1:41
  videos but very disappointed in all the graffiti they write on
• 1:45
  everything. Can I look along here,
• 1:53
  everybody? Here's here's where the here's
• 1:57
  where the wall was, right? OK, so we're right here right
• 2:01
  now. OK, Checkpoint Charlie, this is
• 2:09
  like in the 80s, nineteen, 1980, so.
• 2:26
  Just watch. Just watch.
• 2:28
  I'll point out some interesting things.
• 2:40
  OK, look here. Due to the increasing
• 2:44
  animosities between the victorious powers, they were
• 2:47
  unable to negotiate a peace treaty with Germany.
• 2:49
  France was included by the two Western powers as the 4th allied
• 2:54
  power in German occupation and participated in ensuing post war
• 2:59
  conferences. So they had to have a meeting,
• 3:03
  OK, because nobody was in charge of Germany.
• 3:05
  Nobody. Nobody was in charge.
• 3:07
  So you got a city, Nobody's in charge.
• 3:09
  So they had to calm everything down.
• 3:11
  That's what this whole wall is about.
• 3:15
  It's like having a race team with no crew chief or no owners,
• 3:18
  Like, oh, we got all this stuff. What are we going to do with it?
• 3:31
  Look at that. That's going down here to
• 3:33
  Checkpoint Charlie. This is wild.
• 3:39
  Watch this. Here we go.
• 3:44
  I'm going to take you right there in
• 4:05
  a minute. Hold on.
• 4:07
  You got to be patient. I'm not.
• 4:33
  I'm not. I'm just watching
• 4:50
  right there. Look at that.
• 4:54
  OK, there's the American flag and half staff because of Jimmy
• 4:57
  Carter, I guess. Or just maybe it always flies
• 4:59
  and has Dad. This is where it went down right
• 5:03
  here. The legendary Checkpoint Charlie
• 5:08
  course? There's a McDonald's right
• 5:09
  there. OK, so I think American soldier
• 5:55
  on one side and another type of soldier on the other side,
• 6:00
  respond right here. Remember, you're smarter than
• 6:02
  me. You know everything.
• 6:19
  Where's John? I've lost John.
• 6:27
  They're super green over here. There's no bottled waters.
• 6:30
  You go into hotels, Everything's glass.
• 6:32
  Just get your water. If you see somebody with a
• 6:38
  bottled water, tell me. So we are calm down.
• 6:46
  We are going to the murdered Jews site.
• 6:49
  We're going to see that. Umm, we're going to go to where
• 6:53
  Reagan said tear down that wall. I know you've been here.
• 6:58
  I get it. And we're we are going to go
• 7:00
  everywhere. But this is the start of my day.
• 7:15
  There you go read this. You are entering the American
• 7:18
  sector, carrying weapons off duty, forbidden, obey traffic
• 7:22
  rules, super old sign. They got Kentucky Fried chickens
• 7:28
  everywhere and Burger King is huge over here.
• 7:34
  Don't think since since Burger Kings are not that big in
• 7:38
  America, they're huge over here. So don't think for a minute
• 7:41
  Burger King's failing. They're big over here.
• 7:44
  Burger King, Kentucky Fried Chicken and McDonald's.
• 7:52
  It's kind of funny you say. Well, Burger King's failing,
• 7:55
  Kentucky Fried Chicken's failing.
• 7:56
  I learned they're not OK. I hope you enjoyed everything.
• 8:06
  I got to 8 minutes. Got to do that for YouTube.
• 8:09
  If you get to 8 minutes, they insert 2 commercials and I make
• 8:12
  more money. Hey, hey, at least I'm honest.
• 8:17
  At least I'm honest. Look how the hell them kids get
• 8:22
  up there and and do all that graffiti.
• 8:25
  Look at that. Have a great Saturday,
• 8:28
  everybody.
