Every President's Biggest Mistake 

You forgot Obama's biggest mistake which was not prosecuting the bankers and financial people responsible for the crash of 2008 and bailing them out with GW Bush. The lack of oversight created the Tea Party which in turn manifested in Donald Trump and the division we see today!

Mr. Beat: You should have spent more time talking about how horrible Don the Con Trump was. Twice impeached Trump was the worst US president in history for many reasons. #1) Trump committed an act of treason/sedition against the US by inciting a violent insurrection on January 6, 2021. #2) Trump’s incompetence regarding his management of the US response to the Covid-19 pandemic between January 2020 and July of 2020. Thousands of US citizens died as a result Trump’s failure. If Trump had a proper immediate response to the pandemic the way that the South Korean government did, then thousands of US citizens who died would still be alive today. #3) In April of 2019 Trump vetoed the resolution to end US military support of Saudi Arabia's GENOCIDE of thousands of innocent civilians in Yemen! Trump was using the US military to support GENOCIDE in Yemen! #4) Trump violated the Emoluments Clause of the US Constitution for his entire 4 years in office, then in 2019 Trump verbally mocked the US Constitution. The foundation of the USA is the US Constitution, that is why the presidential inaugural oath includes to swear to protect and defend the US Constitution. In January 2017 Trump publicly swore an oath on a bible at his inauguration ceremony to protect and defend the US Constitution. In 2019 Trump mocked the US Constitution by publicly saying the words "phony emoluments clause". #5) Trump misogynistically and adulterously said of women: "Grab them by the pussy."! Trump committed adultery with Stormy Daniels and then tried to cover it up. Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen, was in prison for crimes related to Trump's cover-up of his adulterous scandal with Stormy Daniels. Most Republicans claim to be the moral party and/or the majority Christian party, but hypocritically enthusiastically want to give an adulterous Donald Trump, another 4 years in office. If a US president who was a member of the Democratic Party did the terrible things Trump has, of course, the Republican Party leaders would be screaming for his removal from office. #6) Trump committed the crime of obstruction of justice. #7) Trump committed crimes of trying to tamper with elections, especially in Georgia. #8) Trump's attempted abuse of power regarding Ukraine. #9) Trump committed tax fraud in New York State, which why Trump hid his tax returns for years. #10) Trump practiced corrupt nepotism as he appointed unqualified members of his family into positions of power in the executive branch of government. #11) Trump illegally destroyed documents and illegally took documents with him after he left the office of president. There are many other horrible things about Trump. Here are some of them: Donald Trump is a dumb corrupt businessman which is why he hid his tax returns. Donald Trump is not a self-made man, he benefited from nepotism. His daddy Fred Trump gave him millions of dollars to start businesses many of which have failed! Donald Trump's failed businesses are many but include: Trump Airlines, a Trump Casino, and Trump University. With his failed Trump University, he defrauded hundreds of students. In Trump's many construction projects he failed to pay some of his contractors. Trump committed fraud with his non-profit in New York State which is why Trump recently transferred his residence to Florida. Donald Trump is too stupid to write his own book which why he hired a ghost writer to write "The Art of the Deal". When Trump was in high school, he hired another boy to take his SAT college entrance exam. Trump claims that he is smart, but he refuses to show us his college transcripts. Donald Trump's daddy bribed a physician to write that Donald Trump had bone spurs and therefore could dodge the Vietnam War draft. Donald Trump and his dad also practiced racism in who they would rent properties to in the 1960s and 1970s. That is just scratching the surface of the long list of horrible things about Donald Trump.

Obamas biggest mistake is allowing china to take over the south china sea. this set up the battleground for ww3 which the US may now lose because of obama

In the Missouri compromise map, west virginia is included. The map is pre-civil war

Interesting video. I may be wrong and you probably have more years teaching than I. But as I understand it, William Henry Harrison gave the longest inaugural speech in history in the pouring rain, thus dying from pneumonia not from drinking DC water. I thought Taylor died from cholera from drinking milk on a hot 4th of July day. Perhaps my teachers back in the day, taught me wrong info.

Nah, his biggest mistake was pissing off the CIA by lambasting them for what they did to cuba ;)

Yeah that wasn’t the greatest idea

On that point, the secret service greatest mistake is not having agents stationed in buildings along the route. If a few had been in the book depository, they could’ve caught Oswald before he started shooting

Watergate may have stayed in the past in the sense that people may not think about it all the time but I think it still had huge lasting impact on American’s trust of their own government.

@@hettinga359the less we trust the government, the better. Therefore watergates legacy is a positive

Biggest mistake was the dissolving of the bretton woods system and putting the world on fiat currency

Hell, the Nixon one is why Reaganomics isn't the worst part of Reagan's administration. Greatly increasing privatized prisons was. It's also why that godawful Clinton-era crime bill got passed.

I would argue the Cambodian bombing was worse. Not only did it drag another country into the Vietnam war, killing innocent civilians. But it also lead to the rise of the Khmer Rouge, which enacted the Cambodian genocide killing 20% of the population of Cambodia. That seems much worse to me than a bunch of people being thrown in prison. (Although the war on drugs was extremely bad).

I turned this virtue-signaling nonsense off pretty quickly.

@@willpomeroy7711 people like you piss me off…

@willpomeroy7711 I turned your virtue signaling mom on pretty quickly

Yup, the fact that he said the Afghanistan withdrawal was worse to Americans that Bidens inflation act is ridiculous. The middle class is being destroyed and the poor r getting poorer while the rich r getting super rich from pandemics and wars. Biden and Ukraine is a huge bluder too. Why are we spending trillions to try and start WW3? There's no outcome where Russia loses and DOESN'T resort to tactical nuclear weapons. Russia isn't boy scouts, if Truman dropped a bomb than Putin won't hesitate before he's defeated. Just like Kim jongs sorry ass. All these "world leaders" are world class crooks. Corrupt.

@@johnjones3813 it is the greatest on earth, I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else. That being said, there’s a lot of things that need to be fixed

So true. The first half of the 19th century was presidents being too scared to tackle the horror that was slavery until it got to a breaking point of the civil war.

naw, it was just an early example of Rules for Thee But Not For Me. no one is above the law.... except the ones that create the laws.

A lot of abolitionists at the time thought that slavery would just die out naturally if they restricted it. They might have been right if the resulting policies didn't cause tensions that blew up into a civil war. Also the cotton gin happened.

Jefferson was the loudest of that bunch

I dont think much would've changed except the Civil War starting sooner than it actually did.

True that

Pretty true ngl

Actually, Woodrow Wilson is the biggest mistake of Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft.

WILSON

@@EagleGamer_ Shout out to Sipher

Yes, some people still think that Reagan was a great president who really helped the economy, when in retrospect his administration did so much to hurt so many people. We had to wait to realize that the trickle down was miniscule. We'll have to wait to see all the good results from the Biden administration, but some people just don't understand the concept of time, and the ship of state doesn't turn on a dime.

Yum

Yeah that definitely adds up. Wasn’t the bay of pigs invasion basically entirely planned before Kennedy was elected, and the major decision he mad towards it was actually to decrease direct involvement with it?

Like Biden withdrawing the troops. Someone just had to cop that terrible hand of cards eventually

whats the mistake??

@@PogChimplikely his handling of what’s going on in Israel Palestine

@@IbrahimButTwice nah... its got to be the border crisis. unfortunately, partisanship prevents democrats and republicans from doing what the other side wants, even if it's clearly the right option, just out of fear of upsetting their bosses

@@finncampbell6524 if I was biden I'd just be like "yo bro just get the leader of israel and hamas/palestine to 1v1 on fortnite bro 💀💀💀)

I mean Wilson was awful so it makes sense.

I am flabbergasted by folks who still defend him.

You're entitled to your opinion, and I was familiar with James W Louwen criticising him earlier, but either actively or not attempting, I can't see any earlier presidents as being much worse or better.

Wilsoooooon!

He went surprisingly easy on him here. I was expecting the creation of the federal reserve to be his biggest failure.

I believe those errors were a building of a foundation of rottenness, which under puppet Biden is becoming a full bldg into which the new oligarchy are quietly occupying - Herr Klaus Schwab, his Davos Wehrmacht and multi-billionaires, this is what Elon Musk is trying to expose, but MUST be circumspect.

the quiet underpinning is money (wealthly elite/slave owners)

I believe king Solomon said "there is nothing new under the sun." Also a great look at why we cannot move past our mistakes from the past without teaching about them in great depth. We put people in concentration camps because they sorta kinda looked like people who attacked one of our territories that we shouldn't have been in anyway. Not to mention all the coups we've staged, then the coups to take out the dictators we put in place etc. You get the point lol

Money has a lot to do with it, as always.. But just as big a cause is that we don't teach factual history. If you don't learn from your or others' mistakes, you'll be likely to repeat them. Whitewashing history, banning books, omitting massive chunks, to deliberately create a demographic that won't know they're supporting a neo-Hitler until it's too late.. And those of us that DO know what's happening won't have enough numbers or power to do anything about it because we've allowed the militarization of the police .. Police controlled by the wealthy and politicians who are, by definition, the enemy in such circumstances.

it all just comes down to "i dont like this group of people. I'm going to ruin their lives"

Heck yeah. I am releasing a full video about the war this spring. Stay tuned!

I'm embarrassed to admit I've never even heard of this war until now and I'm in my mid-forties. So thank you to both of you for creating some awareness of it

@@iammrbeat HELL YES! The history of the Philippines as a pseudo colony of the US is so dark and unexplored, to this day I think the affects are felt by the Filipino people

@@theoneandonlyguyallikian1190 Please don't be. I am not that familiar of American history and geography myself so I am doing my best to catch up. In fact, not a lot of Filipinos are familiar of this either. Actually, William McKinley, who was president at the time, wasn't familiar with what's going on in the Philippines. Although I must admit that I did take Economics as an elective in university over US History lol if I had only known then I should've taken it lmao

​@@Secarstra777 Ah, yes. Many people are not familiar of this either. This is probably the reason why the Philippines has a specific liking to the United States and at one time pushed to be a US territory because of our fondness for the Americans during the American occupation and post-WW2. I would go as far to saying that the Americans are the only colonialists that Filipinos are generally enamoured with as we don't really feel this way towards Britain or Spain. Just to add a little note, the reason why the Japanese Imperial Army invaded the Philippines shortly after the bombing of Pearl Harbor in WW2 is that the Philippines is a strategic stronghold of the Americans in South East Asia, as the Americans have built bases in the Philippines used during WW2 and Korean and Vietnam wars. And, of course, a major refueling station as well. In fact, the most considerable largest naval battle of all time happened during WW2 in the Philippines called the Battle of Leyte Gulf.

Imagine being stupid enough to vote for Demholes.

bad disgusting water, I guess. The schools I went to never went into full disclosure about that sorta thing. Apparently, truly patriotic parents value lower taxes over their own children's futures.

He didn't handle anything. He ignored it.

Not even mentioning Reagan’s handling of everything is insane.

And his support for genocidal military juntas and death squads in Latin America.

NOPE still not worse than supporting slavery

@@yoyosummers4270​​⁠​⁠ the victims of slavery were the people who's interest should've been accounted for, so not supporting them was going against the American people

Maybe there needs to be a history test before each of them become President so they actually prove they know history, lol.

The problem with your second suggestion, is thinking that the "American people" is a single entity where they have a "best interest". Any action taken by a president will affect some Americans in a positive way and others in a negative way

Thanks for doing that

I'd like to know which President had the milkshake that brought the most boys to the yard.

Which Milkshake did Kennedy like to drink? A) Strawberry; B) Vanilla; C) Chocolate.

Whereas I'm now chuckling over your use of both 'milkshake' and 'split' in the same sentence. Bananas!

If you're a pessimist, Harrison was the least worst president since he had the fewest failures and scandals. If you're an optimist, he was the worst president since he had the fewest accomplishments.

@@MistyKathrineIf you really want to be a pessimist since I refuse to believe presidencies of people like Lincoln were “bad” in the sense they were net negatives for the nation. Keeping the country together gets you into positives no matter what you do after it.

@@Ballin4Vengeance Pessimist view = rating presidents primarily on their failures and scandals. Optimistic view = rating presidents primarily on their the achievements and successes. Most rankings put Harrison as a bottom 5 president and I feel like that's unfair for a guy who didn't really do anything bad. I think he should be ranked as 23rd out of 45, in the dead center of the list because while he had the fewest accomplishments, he also had the fewest failures.

@@MistyKathrine he shouldn't be included in the lists at all. He was only in office for one month and most of it he was bed bound. If he has to go in the list he should be number 45 at the very bottom because he literally did nothing. I mean sure it's unfortunate for him he died so early into his term but that's the cold hard facts. He did nothing as president.

Sustaining a rich & powerful nation such as the US requires blood and sacrifice, you have to be destructive for it to be successful. Not saying it's all evil, just that it's reality.

so essentially the Oklahoma city bombing but based

So basically an attempt at a gunpowder plot?

@@nothingyoudexpectexactly.

I see your point and sense your pain.

100% His attitude toward it was definitely part of what contributed to many conservatives thinking that gay men were getting what they deserved for being gay. And it was even worse when he only started to care at all when Rock Hudson revealed he also had HIV.

I haven't watched the video yet, but defanging antitrust and allowing all sorts of corrupt monopolistic mergers, setting that precedent was very easily Reagan's worst move. It's not even close. It has a massive effect on every American to this day and will for very long time. It's arguably almost as bad as Clinton and glass-steagall. And to be quite clear Clinton is the worst president of the last handful. Or more. Easily. And that includes young bush and the current traitorous clown. That's how bad killing glass-steagall was. It very directly precipitated the 2008 Great recession, and it has ongoing horrific effects. Reagan's AIDS response was pretty bad, but it was sort of a trump level covid bad. In a different way though. I think Trump was actually trying to do the right thing he just failed hard trusting fauci and Pfizer & the WHO. He had a lot of company though, everyone but Sweden drastically mismanaged the crisis. Aside from Trump's continuous spew of clinical narcissism, he really wasn't that bad a president for the most part. He didn't make a lot of mistakes besides allowing lockdowns and pushing the Pfizer poison. My theory of presidents these days is that their adequacy or inadequacy is mostly determined by what they don't do. By mistakes they don't make. Biden got in the office and immediately made 10 horrific errors. Errors or purposeful evils I'm not quite sure which. Trump mostly stayed out the economy and energy's way. You can't really expect too much more from a president these days. Sad but true.

thats kinda simple for people to solve themselves

It was extremely not simple back then@@cardboard9124 . It was an apocalypse for some demographics (promiscuous gay males for the most part, also many africans.)

What exactly could Ronald Reagan have done? Imprison every suspected homosexual in the country and prevent them from having sex? When Reagan was in office the majority opinion was that it was a 'gay disease'

There never should have been a trial of tears. It was a genocide attempt.

I strongly loathe that man, but his energy was definitely something else. Asking the judiciary branch how they were going to do the executive branches job of enforcing the law was a power move

@@TheOriginalPoon that's also how coups start

I agree. Native American genocide is far worse than a recession. Honestly, kinda pissed me off that the Trail of Tears was treated so lightly here.

@@wehweh3 On top of that, he was the most radically pro-slavery president ever. To the point that he once said that all the abolitionists who sent their literature into the south to try and change minds should commit suicide.

Now do every other country in the world. Take off the hair shirt man.... it's tacky. This AWFL & AWEML (adult female white liberal/adult white effeminate male liberal) penchant for self flagellation, you do realize you're the only demographic in the world that does that? And if you're thinking that makes you look virtuous, think again. Chinese call you a "baizuo." Trust me that ain't a compliment. Everybody else on the globe just rolls their eyes at you. I mean that quite literally by the way. They surveyed the entire world, there is not a single demographic besides awfuls and awemulls who isn't in group biased. What a sick pathology. By the way anybody standards reading you're welcome for AWEML. I felt like that needed to exist next to AWFL.

Here's another fun fact: they polled zoomers, and like 77% of them thought that Indians lived in peace and harmony with the land before the white man got here. God I'm laughing so hard I can't even voice text dictate. Even now it's like the third time I've talked about it. The average native American tribe practiced a casual sort of genocide on its neighbors and was extremely enthusiastic about taking slaves. There were exceptions but they were definitely a minority. Casual genocide & slavetaking had I rather serious enhancing effect on that. More dumb fun with baizuos.

Well when it comes to the first seven Presidents or so, they actually made slavery much harder, like banning it in the Northwest territory, banning the Trans-Atlantic slave trade, etc. But they never went so far as to outright ban it because they thought it would go away on it's own, and banning it outright would just cause unnecessary bloodshed. Obviously they were wrong, and slavery ended up actually becoming bigger in the future, but they had good intentions. Some of them were hypocrites though, owning their own slaves despite being against slavery.

never trust a politician

It was about the culture at the time, the leaders were trying to delay a civil war which was bound to happen at some point. No president could magically erase the practice of slavery.

Thank you buddy

Obama's biggest mistake was to leave his presidency with records left behind that proved he was apprised of the Russian collusion hoax perpetrated by Hillary Clinton on August 3, 2016. He could have saved himself of being found complicit in the crime if only he would have informed the public of it being a hoax and took steps to insure the FBI would not run with it, but he didn't. He let it become a major political issue. Obama deserves to be charged in the conspiracy to frame Trump with false allegations of Russian collusion, along with Hillary Clinton and several members of the FBI. Oh, Joe Biden was in the room when Obama was apprised of it being a hoax, as was James Comey, James Clapper, John Brennan and Loretta Lynch. All deserve to be charged accordingly.

Lol you’re lucky you live in a country with free press because I guarantee you every leader ever has made mistakes and most of them you don’t know about

As an independent I honestly don’t think anyone was ever worse than Biden currently is, could be recency bias like you said but dude can’t form a sentence and tanked the economy

One could look at it that way for sure. However, I think there is way more to it than that. When you do many things you are bound to mess up some of them. Sometimes you have to make sacrifices.

It was rigged, as many are all over the country.

So stunning, so brave! It's not brave to take his stance. In fact it is required in the RU-vid TOS. Elections so safe and security it's against the rules to question it. There was no doubt fraud in the election. They act like he lost all of the court cases. He won about 30 out of 90 cases. Nearly all of the other cases were thrown out on standing and not on the merits of the case. So, this really hasn't been adjudicated in the eyes of those that saw all the swing states Trump needed to win all conveniently stopped counting when Trump was in a big lead. Then there were the 3 AM ballot drops that dragged the corpse across the finish line. Don't act like that is not suspicious.

@@mduke2kThe maximum amount of fraud that the heritage foundation(which leans republican) thinks happened is in the hundreds, the vote was a difference of a few thousand. Unless you are going to say that the heritage foundation doesn’t support Trump this is very clear evidence to the contrary.

I do think there was some sketchiness about all those swing states going from red to blue overnight due to mail in ballots, but there isn’t enough evidence right now.

If you saw how they were counting the voting during the election, you would question it, too. Both Biden and Trump votes were all over the place. One state where Trump was dominant, then all of a sudden, he loses 15,000 votes. Similar things with Biden too.

not always. just since the invention of agriculture about 12,000 yrs ago. Anatomically modern humans lived in small egalitarian (even inclusive of women and children) bands of hunter gatherers without property or hierachy for 150,000 yrs.

I agree! I evn remember at the time how some Liberals were even proud of what the country had done, it really did deserve the name "Just Cause" -- a wonderful yet extremely rare example of our armed forces being used to restore the democratically elected legitimate ruler to the people -- instead of deposing the legitimate rule like we did in so many other countries!

I hate us interventionism with passion, 99% of the time is immoral imperialism to bully countries and peoples for their one-sided economic and political unjust gains, but getting rid of Noriega is the exception that makes the rule. Two very important things should be added though: 1) When it comes to bringing Ortega's dictatorship to the edge, credit and glory must be given to Hugo Spadafora. Indeed, the military invasion only happened right after he was assassinated. A one-in-a-trillion history changing hero. 2) The US has a lot to blame for Noriega's dictatorship to have ever been in place in the first place. It is no secret that pretty much all dictatorships in Latin America and the Caribbean were either put there or strongly supported by the US, especially after what happened in Cuba and later Nicaragua. Same applies in Panama. They propped up Noriega and have blood in their hands. It is a good thing Just Cause happened but the decades if horror could instead have been avoided.

He was a monster and we (the US) put him in charge. This is so common that one could argue putting the very worst dictators in charge of nice places (especially those countries in "our hemisphere") is our government's main hobby.

They put him there in the first place 💀then took him out when he decided to turn on them

I mean, as people have said before, operation just cause was not a mistake, but all the movements done by the US that helped him get into power were surely a mistake

take an econ course and learn about externalities and public good. with your logic spending money on forced education is a waste and moralism.

Nixons biggest mistake is making friends with a pedopphile who likes 14 year old girls as a 68 year old man who was responsible of 50-60 million people deaths and helping the korean and vietnam wars sacrificing military soldiers unnecessarily. Mao is the worst dictator in human recorded history.

Although Nixon is seen as a centrist, the culture wars he started helped Reagan and Gingrich build today's pseudo-conservative "Own the libs" Republican machine . . . all as a result of one man's obsession with the presidency 😭

a "war on drugs" isn't exactly bad and is good when done right. The problem with Nixon's war is that he basically targeted drugs that weren't really all that bad. If he concentrated more on the real dangerous ones like cocaine, heroin and the other super shhtty ones and then make weed and shrooms as "controlled" products meaning they're legal but just controlled properly and only be sold by real professionals like doctors then it would have been all right

@@dickmelsonlupot7697 The war on drugs was and is primarily waged against users. Locking people up, that is punishing people, for using drugs is fundamentally ridiculous, counterproductive, and cruel. Drug use is not a moral or criminal failing, it is a mental health issue. Our “criminal justice” system is rooted in centuries-old English law which is wholly unequipped to ethically or effectively deal with drugs or any other “antisocial” behavior rooted in mental health or poverty. In 500 years, the criminal justice system of today will be looked at as little more sensible than the trials by ordeal of the Middle Ages.

It was impactful, just not as negatively as aids

Good point, but trickle down economics was and still is terrible!!! He should have used this word to describe it, but he did not. The Republican party is still hung up on this. They still want to give tax cuts to the rich ad nauseum!!!

Today liberals push the gay lifestyle.

There are so many truly awful things to choose from that picking just one as The Worst is really impossible. Shredding The Constitution, especially the 4th amendment, to rationalize creating the domestic police state is another strong candidate for The Worst. Mr. Beat also gave Bush 41 a pass on his many crimes.

Regan was a fool, a jellybean eating racist

I really enjoyed this video but I have to say that Ronald Reagan's biggest mistake was not retaliating against Iran in 1983 when Iran supported financed the suicide attack on the Marines on October 24th 1983 that led to the death of 241 Marines. A little shadowy group known as Islamic jihad or later on will be changed to Hezbollah Funded by Iran would never be punished. That was one incident that led to Osama bin Laden later saying America was a paper tiger

That's always a valid perception, I think, with maybe an exception here or there for truly egregious mistakes.

True, especially since we don't really know the truth about things due to heat and controversy

I think bush’s is gonna be safe for a long time. The Iraq war was his worst

George bush and Obama were funded by crime syndicates. Trump is corrupt but please do some research he is not what the media says he is. The media has ruined a great opportunity of coming together over a very middle of the ground president.

@@throatwobblermangrove8510 A great example is Truman. Today many historians consider him a better President than he was thought of while he was living (died around 1971 or so). I’m so/so on his legacy myself. While I think he made the correct decision in ending World War II quickly, some of his Cold War policies led to the Korean War and Vietnam War.

He honestly feels like a real teacher

@@jazzercise300 He is

Hes Def not Objective 100% of the time, when it comes to modern politics his bias torwards the left comes through more and more. Im sure as we gain distance he will become more objective on current issues in the future

@cirrus1682 exactly what I was going to say, there were so many mistakes that were just immigration reform acts and he made it seem like that is the most evil thing in the world.

Yeah I don't always find it funny but it's endearing

The distrust in the federal government started when JFK was slaughtered by his own government.

It made your closest friends and allies cringe at being a NATO partner, trade partner..etc. The Good 1st world does not have the resources to stop America's once in every generation .. war on some 3rd world people with just awful optics.. optics of real atrocities. We friends want to think of the USA as anti-atrocity. Abu Ghraib huh? PM Blair ... the disgrace of the Labour Party. When America builds a coalition to take on a foreign power, check who signs on in each case. Canada fought in Korea... NOT Vietnam. Allies supported a war on Bin Laden.. where journalists on the ground outnumbered the troops assaulting his "lair". Friends supported the war on Iraq when Saddem made a sovereign UN state disappear. They did not show up for Round two, the revenge tour.

100%. I remember a great uncle who served in Vietnam telling me that he was “the last American generation to have ever trusted their government”.

Vietnam but even moreso Watetgate.

A mix of things actually. The assassination of JFK, Nam, Watergate and the rampant ascension of power of the CIA made that americans felt watched all the time, and as the government distrusted its population, the population started to resent and distrust the government. Who would've thought that spying on everyone would get everyone mad at you?

Especially in the UK/USA

Cost of the empire

it seems the president only seems to exist as a PR scapegoat for the rest of the deep state to hide behind while not really having that much say in how things are run.

Kinda like Biden having blood on his hands for the murders done by Illegals in the US by letting in millions of unvetted criminals.

Really fair point! I tend to overestimate his influence.

@@iammrbeat I do kinda wonder if Washington had been more vocal about slavery how much of an effect it would have. You said that he warned against political parties citing it would divide the nation, but we kept them anyway. I wonder why?

@@alex_flamer267 Tribalism is why. There's a natural desire in most people to side with a team. As for the slavery thing, Washington could have been as vocal about ending it as he wanted, it still wouldn't change the minds of those relying on slave labor to hold up their economy.

@@switchp8286 but it wasn’t tribalism. It was literally the rich people’s greed. But it is funny how y’all use tribalism as a scapegoat. Even the tribes in Africa didn’t treat their slaves as harshly as the Europeans/Asians(this include Arabs and you decide whatever continent they are on)

I think it's easy for many people to mistakenly view Washington as an omnipotent force who could compel anyone around him to agree on the right decision for any issue, even slavery. That's the cost of idolizing him as the "perfect" founding father.

I appreciate that!

Mr. Beat is among the most educated. Vs The greedy a$$hole Alex Jones is among the most uneducated.

Yea when it comes to American history and politics he’s definitely my go to. I disagree with him on a lot of issues but he’s very objective which I like.

@@waynejohnson1786 I'm wondering what it's saying about a person understands the source of information as being objective but then also in the same sentence says how often they are in disagreement with that objective source. Hey bro, at least I appreciate the honesty.

You could learn that there is no such word as alot in the English language. There is however a word allot - which means (a) to provide in small portions (b) to give out derived from the word allotment - meaning (a) A share set aside for a specific purpose (b) A plot of land Undertake an extensive reading program to better educate yourself and improve your knowledge of the English language - which eight now is at a level below my youngest students age 8 who academically outclass you. You should be academically beyond making such uneducated errors. Start reading books on a variety of subjects by accomplished authors - whether you like it or not. It is your duty to educate yourself Good luck and good bye.

I mean, I'm autistic, and even I don't trust most autists, because they treat me worse than 90% of people

Pretty sure he was joking there lol

Later in the video he mentions xenophobia again, but in a wider context

I think he was making a joke, most people know Xenophobia isn't a fear of the Chinese specifically. 🤣

@@ahmedhussein1694 I think he said "Sinophobia". Which would be the term for a fear of the Chinese.

Agreed.

That was just a clean up act on aisle 41. Panama had been a CIA drug smuggling partner - that was no longer convenient so they liquidated the franchise

I didn't know this! And thanks for bringing that horrible law up, too, J.J. That should have been another honorable mention. Dang, Clinton really signed some bad laws. lol

@@iammrbeatyeah, Clinton really did, but I don’t think he ever did it because he wanted to, but to appeal to republicans since they took over congress. Kind of like Obama during his later years of presidency. Both had to keep the country moving I suppose.

@@nprnilk Clinton played politics very cynically at times. If he thought he could get benefit by throwing some group under the bus he would. If he thought he could get benefit by promoting the interests of that group, he would. Clinton appointed several openly gay people to his administration, which was historic, but then also pandered to homophobia when that was the way the winds were blowing.

If I remember correctly, he signed it in order to shut down the ravening of Congressional bigots for as long as he could, because they insisted on having something and what they really wanted would have been worse. Same reason why he signed Don't Ask, Don't Tell.

​@@JJMcCullough Politics are very cynical. He was a pure political animal once the congress switched in 94 to Gingrich he had to play 3 dimensional chess. Do you have any idea the scope and magnitude of what was hunting for him every day? They had a special prosecutor with absolutely no boundaries trying to dig up illegal activities nearly his entire time in office. First it was travel gate, then whitewater for 7 years - Trump says witchhunt - he had nothing like Clinton and let's be clear in Trumps case there is criminal activity, obstruction at almost every turn.

Love from iraq bro

I as an American did not even know this WAR had happened a whole war Rip that Bandaid off American "Education"

As an American, that war is utterly disgusting and shameful.

No one cares what you are

@@balabanasireti you're just a d bag

ah yes, speaking truth to power is bait apparently...

Holy moly! This amazes me. I am honored and filled with joy after reading this. Thanks for sharing this, and good luck to you in your newfound field of study. You're gonna love it!

​@@iammrbeat Hi MrBeat Can you make a video discussing about the most charismatic or skilled orators among US presidents in history?

Carter was definitely given a raw deal in many respects. Personally, I’d list his signing of the Airline Deregulation Act as his greatest mistake.

@@jabrokneetoeknee6448 I believe that was also cited as one of the causes for the airline chaos earlier this year but whatever source I got that from could be wrong.

@@wildfire9280 Indirectly, yes. The airline industry has substantially changed its business model since the deregulation act. During the "Golden Era of Flight" airlines made most of their revenue from the selling of seats... something which sounds like a given. But that drove up the prices for seats on high-demand flights. Oftentimes a passenger would find themselves paying more on a short NYC to DC flight compared to a much longer NYC to Austin flight. Airlines didn't like this model because it meant that long routes were often less profitable. Today, much of airline revenues come from contracts with big banks, credit card companies, car rental companies, Fortune 500 corporations, who pay the airline for the right to issue "rewards" like miles to their customers or employees. Airlines prefer this model, of course, because it guarantees a steady stream of revenue regardless how many actual seats are being sold per flight. The consequence of this is that air travel, a pretty essential service in the 21st century, has been turned into a liability for airlines. They will cut costs on flights anyway imaginable... even if it means selling fewer seats. The airline industry's reaction to the pandemic typified this, when instead of using COVID stimulus money to keep pilots on the payroll through the lockdowns, like the government expected them to do, the airlines instead persuaded many pilots to retire early with very generous packages, and used the rest of the money on executive bonuses, dividends, and stock buy-backs. Now demand has returned to pre-pandemic levels but now the airlines are understaffed!

For personal Christian reasons Jimmy allowed the sick Shah entry for treatment to the US when Iranians demanded he be sent back to them for trial. THAT was his biggest mistake. The Shah was going to die soon regardless and he deserved to be on trial anyway. Not getting their trial caused the 'not US hating anti-Shah' Iranians to turn into radical, US hating Jihadists.

Nope

Well he was wrong about the central bank stuff 07:51. While it is true that most economists agree that central bank prevent market crashes, the same economists are also on the government dole. Basically they are paid to cheer the central bank and the United States Federal reyhas thousands of economists on their payroll as consultants. Now why would they risk fame and fortune when it is lucrative to lie in favor of the central bank?

I say we do away with both parties

@@holdmybeer123that creates a conflict of interest, yeah, but it doesn't make them wrong about it.

@@maxi1ification True, but it is well known that government economists are basically cheer leaders for the ruling party. They don't see a recession until they are a year into it.

@@holdmybeer123 Similarly, people staunchly against central banks manage to have their own financial incentives to denounce such an institution. It's really hard to get objective assessments of things like that, sadly.

I thought Kennedy's was going to be riding through Dallas without the Bubbletop on. Depending on your POV, it was.

No the only reason Harrisons is death related is bcus he didn't get a chance to do anything he died a month in office. Lincoln and Kennedy had chances to make mistakes that affected others.
