[Music] hey leo hey layla um why are you pulling down our neighbor's fence today this is not a fence oh yeah then what is it it's the berlin wall and i'm ronald reagan our 40th president and i guess that means you're here to tear down the berlin wall you got it i'm gonna set the east berliners free leo i'm pretty sure that our neighbors aren't from east berlin well they are today whatever you say leo did you know that ronald reagan was one of our most popular presidents of course i knew that and did you know he was california's governor before he was president well duh did you know that he started out as an actor he starred in over 50 movies yeah and he wasn't just an actor either he was in the military during world war ii hmm you know what he was actually great at a lot of stuff he played college football he was also on the swim team he ran track too plus he was student body president and he was totally handsome ew gross what the heck leo boy i sure wish i could have met ronald reagan well why can't you because he passed away in 2004 when he was 93 years old i wasn't even born yet and now i'll never get to meet him geez leo don't be so dramatic we can just use my new time travel app to go meet him really awesome you just tap here and away we go but let me get the settings right before you do that ronald reagan here i come wow is this what west berlin looks like leila look at that wall it's huge hey wait where's layla what the heck where am i oh great thanks leo i better go find him i can't believe i actually went back in time maybe i'll really get to meet ronald reagan did someone say my name wow you're really president reagan nice to meet you i'm leo and i came here from the future what are you doing here nice to meet you leo i'm here in berlin to stop the communists and end the cold war oh man all this talk about communists is making me hungry well leo communism makes everyone hungry people living under communism are often poor and don't have enough money for food that's why we have to stop it i guess you're right but can we have a snack first i brought jelly beans leo thank you that's my favorite snack it's too bad layla isn't here to have some too hey mr reagan can i ask you some questions of course you can leo why did they build the berlin wall in germany that's a good question we're in west berlin which is the free side of germany on the other side of the wall is east berlin which is occupied by the soviet union the soviet union which is communist built this wall during the cold war to keep people locked in east berlin and stop them from going to freedom in west berlin we sure are lucky to be on this side you're right about that leo why is it called the cold war anyway it doesn't seem that cold it's not because of cold weather it's called the cold war because we were able to end the war without using any weapons a war with no shooting or bombs how did you do that well everyone was afraid that the united states and the soviet union were going to shoot nuclear bombs at each other but thankfully that never happened a nuclear bomb would have been terrible that's the biggest kind of bomb there is you're absolutely right leo that's why we signed the inf oh i see wait what's the inf the inf stands for intermediate-range nuclear forces treaty both our countries agreed to sign the treaty so we didn't have to use our bombs is that all it took to end the cold war well no leo we also used our economy to win economy isn't that money stuff that sounds really complicated it's really very simple leo we used a program called reaganomics to make our economy strong we cut taxes so that the government took less of people's hard-earned money away from them and that led to more people getting jobs i don't want a job i hate work my sister layla has a job after school but i like to play after school well leo when you grow up getting a job and working hard is part of being responsible i'm sure your sister is working hard to find you right now thanks to everyone working hard the united states economy was so big that the soviet union couldn't keep up you're amazing mr reagan you saved everyone's lives and made them better at the same time well thank you leo but the job isn't done yet we still have one more thing to do mr gorbachev tear down this wall yeah freedom for everyone there you are leo i've been looking for you everywhere what have you been up to hi laila you just missed it president reagan and i tore down the real berlin wall ugh i can't believe i missed it you need to be careful when you time travel my phone battery is almost empty and we need to get back before it's too late okay layla let me say goodbye to ronald reagan first though bye mr president it was nice meeting you thanks for beating the communists goodbye leo and remember this it's never too late to fight for freedom here we go leo yay we're back layla you should have been there when ronald reagan told them to tear down the berlin wall it was super fun it's okay leo i got to do a lot of fun things in the past too like what glad you asked leo well i went to the white house and met nancy reagan the first lady and i learned all about their program to keep kids off drugs just say no you got that right plus i went to the supreme court and visited one of my role models justice sandra day o'connor who was that she
