The year is 1908. Teddy Roosevelt wins the election in a landslide, one of the biggest in American history. And as black gold flows over Kentucky all the way down to Louisiana, Standard Oil starts overreaching. Ida Tarbell goes down to help catalog the way Standard Oil circumvented anti-trust laws but this time, she has the government behind her. James Rudolph Garfield, Roosevelt's Secretary of Interior, was following Ida Tarbell's reporting and finally, there's enough to drag Standard before the courts. But will it be enough to break up these gigantic titans? Or is Teddy going to need something a little stronger?

"The supreme court ruled 8-1, with the 1 wanting a harsher ruling."
I mean, damn. That's legal savage. o.o
NO!
W...why not?
ITS NOT HARD ENOUGH!
I don't dislike trusts... I hate them!
Sebastian Westerlund but I like people I can trust
Imagine the only reason a supreme court ruling against you not being unanimous is because someone thought that your company being shattered is getting off too easy.
The virgin 8 “we don’t like trusts” justices vs the chad “I fucking hate trusts” justice
A politician that goes after corrupt companies, even if they donated to his campaign? What a concept!
I actually love that about him. He's basically saying "Thanks. You're funding your own destruction".
I will take your money AND your defeat :D
I feel like that would never fly today
@@Lord_Foxy13 happens all the time, they just rarely become president so they don't manage to do anything large enough for you to notice, Roosevelt might not even have been able to deliver on any of his promises if the previous president didn't die in office.
I never understood why more people don't accept bribes and then do what they planned. I mean what are they going to do? Take your money back?
Rockerfeller: "I've paid you a small fortune."
Teddy Roosevelt: "And you think this gives you power over me?"
What would happen if I took those glasses off?
Also Rockerfeller:*becomes the richest man alive at the time because of that decision"
Teddy: "Thank you, I'm going to use your own wealth to bring you down a notch. I don't like your ivory tower."
"I paid you money! YOU CANT DO THAT!"
"Oh boy. you better what how i use YOUR money to kick YOUR ass!"
@@dVector13 Well FDR did. Then again FDR was the biggest fan of Teddy. So much so that he had Teddy's face put of Mount Rushmore.
“Standard Oil is gloat-Wait...who’s that behind him?! OH IT’S TEDDY ROOSEVELT WITH THE CHAIR!!!”
correct me if im wrong im wrong but im pretty sure Teddy Roosevelt was a boxer at one point so this is extremely on point
BAH GAWD STANDARD OIL IS BROKEN IN HALF BROKEN IN HALF AND TEDDY ISN'T STOPPING
i don't care what happens to the trusts as long as no steam locomotives are harmed
Teddy Roosevelt would never hit a man with a chair from behind.
Good thing Standard Oil is not a man but a big bad company. So its allowed.
@@kyro3604
Yup, and he did rowing.
Teddy Roosevelt: *Wins election*
Monopolies: “Why do I hear boss music?”
It's not boss music, it's a cutscene.
Nah its the same ending scene from Fallen Order he doesn't have a health bar
Teddy Roosevelt when the doom music kicks in
fun fact the railroad trust recombined into the BNSF railroad
Damn they heard the boss music all the way in Panama 😂
Trusts: Here’s some money, don’t beat me up
Teddy: *uses the money to buy a baseball bat*
no no, *boxing gloves*
"Speak softly and carry a big stick"
One of the best quotes to ever exist
By one of the best people to ever exist
*shrieks in south american
fun fact the railroad trust recombined into the BNSF railroad
@@Rentorock well I guess you got the stick part
Well, he had many of our best atributes but also many of our worst.
Teddy is the kind of leader we always need in difficult times.
Hurry up, get "Teddy signal". Joker is attacking again.
He was the manliest man who had ever manned.
I see that caste icon
Unrelated, but: nice profile pic.
@@dylandarnell3657 Thanks. Its from a tabletop RPG called 'Exalted'. Specifically of the Twilight Caste for the Solar Exalted, who are renowned magic users and magitech specialists.
We need another Teddy Roosevelt.
let's go Bernie!
Good luck, he'd get called a socialist and half of the country would start believing conspiracy theories on how he eats babies or something.
We need a Teddy/FDR hybrid.
That is almost scarily true.
@@Phil-ni3ol FDR wasn’t any better, he was also racist
Alton Parker: *Makes up lie about Teddy shaking down corporations for donations*
Teddy Roosevelt: *Challenges to provide evidence*
Alton Parker: *Is embarrassed and retracts claims*
Guess that was a different time, huh?
Yeah, nowadays people just believe what they want to
"Bureau of Corporations" sounds like a great Pet Shop Boys song.
More like Pet Shop Boys song. Their album titles tend to be single words ("Please", "Actually", "Very", etc.) .
I was thinking more like New Order.
What would be the lyrics
Do one on the coal miners rights. Battle of Blair Mountain, Mother Jones, etc.
And/or the Hatfield and McCoy feud
Tbh an entire series about the labor movement in general would be amazing
@@datfisheboi6519 I believe that some have been done, such as the triangle shirtwaist factory fire
Or the battle of the Alamo
Hear hear
I whish more people knew how great Teddy really was, he could inspire some folks to do great things!
Yeah! Justice Democrats need to learn a thing or two from him.
No one is perfect.
@@False_messaih “social darwinism” was pretty popular at the time
@@hectorvega621 You mean Republicans? Who have been toting Reaganism sense he was elected which was literally the opposite of what Teddy was about?
@@royalpayn4089 No, I meant Justice Democrats whoeve been promoting the Economic Policies that Theodore Roosevelt would have.
Gotta love ol’ Teddy Roosevelt.
Their's a reason why he's on Mount Rushmore.
@Hendrik Enno Patreon probably
Aw yes
Ironic, he started a monopoly of... Teddy bears XD
@@Mattthijssss There is a reason on the most poplar children's toy is named after him, the Teddy Bear
The various pieces of Standard Oil recombining reminds me a lot about how "Ma Bell" AT&T slowly recombined in the past 30 years after being broken up in the '80s.
at&t has no power anymore so it's fine
WHAT THE HELL! THE SENILE ACT WAS A CEO TRICK EVEN BACK THEN. God that makes me think of Zuckerberg and every other CEO put before a committee.
fun fact the railroad trust recombined into the BNSF railroad
everybody: omg! Teddy Roosevelt was simply the best.
Latin Americans: *sweats looking at the big stick next to them* yeah sure...
Panama wouldn't exist without Theodore Roosevelt
@@chaosXP3RT which is a good thing for a Panamese politician, not for Latin Americans in general
Leaders in recent times do “trust breaking” with a different meaning.
fun fact the railroad trust recombined into the BNSF railroad
Roosevelt smashing a folding chair into Standard? My apologies if this is criticism but wouldn't he be smashing into Standard on a spiked wrecking ball? The man loves to be a badars.
A chair is just Teddy's way of issuing the challenge. Like slapping someone with a glove for a duel.
@@justinweber4977 Naw. He was just getting their attention prior to issuing his challenge.
That's just how Roosevelt told people he didn't like them. He throws cars at people when he issues a challenge.
@@sentinel7672 Now *THAT* sounds like Roosevelt; I mean, if he can take a bullet to the lungs, I'm sure he can yeet a car. =)
Yes but a chair is the working man's weapon of choice
Teddy Roosevelt, he truly was the most interesting man in the world.
He doesn't always bust trusts, but when he does, it's BULLY!
i don't care what happens to the trusts as long as no steam locomotives are harmed
I wonder why I keep seeing "we need more Teddy Roosevelt", there's more than one modern-day Teddy in or outside politics, you just don't elect them.
Hard to elect them when the monopolies nowadays are on information itself. How can we learn what stories to trust, which candidates to believe in? And even despite these issues there's plenty of support for those candidates, even when they don't get elected.
@@cybershadow136 well, by being a responsible citizen and talking with them, you can as such make your own judgment.
The issue is, we try to elect progressives like teddy.
The GOP Mitch and many of those corporations dump billions campaigning against them and have half the population convinced these people are hard line Leninist
But we try
Look what they do to bernie
We tried, and look what happened with Bernie. Despite ostensibly being a democracy, just popular support won't get you elected, you need institutional support.
We could use another Roosevelt. I’d take either one right now.
Definitely another Teddy though.
I don't know about Teddy, but FDR definitely
@@MrDalek2150 minus the racism though, great president not amazing person.
One fixed the trusts, the other fixed the economy
@@Ethan-cz8xq FDR pals were a disaster, he prolonged great depression for at least 5 years. Keynesian economics just doesn't work
That was the most intense choo choo i have ever heard.
fun fact the railroad trust recombined into the BNSF railroad
@@IndustrialParrot2816 ok that is actually kinda funny
Germany: Actively prevents monopolies
US: Waits for a saviour.
and we always get one :)
Unfortunately we have a few 'near' monopolies now adays. With both Apple and Microsoft being massive tech giants.
@@mrbuttocks6772 Disney monopoly on entertainment, anyone? Or freaking Amazon, owning the majority of online trade in nearly all facets of the economy....
The lie got retracted in the face of a demand for evidence? What sorcery is this?
Never have I heard "choo-choo" being said in such an epic manner!
We need more Roosevelt type politician. Both Teddy and Franklin saw great things for the working class.
I think there's at least one member of the Roosevelts still in loved in politics in the modern day.
Other than that, it's to.e to acquire potent witchcraft to get Teddy and Franklin back.
You should see josh hawley
The amazing thing was that both Roosevelts were very wealthy people from wealthy families. They were the last people you'd expect to be champions of the poor and middle class. Maybe that's why they succeeded because they knew how the game was played and were groomed to see who was a friend and who was a foe. They knew that America would never be a world leader if the working class wasn't allowed to succeed and take part in the nation's wealth and opportunities.
Bernie Sanders and AOC are the closest Roosevelt type politician we ever got.
No only teddy
Can we just take a moment to appreciate that response from Rockafeller when he knew the company was going to get broken up? being prepped in such a way that he proceeded to quadruple his wealth from something meant to weaken his company, becoming the first billionaire in the process, is impressive, no matter how much you might dislike the man and his practices.
"He knew who to target... the railroads. Choo choo."
When the "he" is Theodore Roosevelt, the "choo choo" almost becomes ominous. Almost.
Wow, if that story about Roosevelt "taking corporate donations because otherwise people would think he's corrupt" (and then immediately betraying his donors) is true, that's one ganster move. And of course most politicians would be way too opportunist to not give back favors (because if he had cooperated with Standard, they could have used their sway over Congress to help him elsewhere).
I would like to add that another possible reason why Rockefeller decided to turn himself in was because he learned while on the run that his grandson had just been born, and relenting on his past life, he didn't want to a grandfather who abandoned a grandson that he would never have gotten to know, like how his father abandoned him and his mother.

Now where would I mount the stuffed head of a Winston?
i keep my rhymes pure.
like my food and drugs
I mean, for CHRIST’S SAKE! Look at that mug!
We're definitely due for some new trustbusting in the US. The trick is, the companies have gotten oh so much more complicated and obscure things oh so much more diligently.
The word *irony* is having a fun time with your posting on a google server farm.
@@Easy-Eight So you think corruption is normal?
@@rick7424 power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Wait, what’s that? It’s teddy Roosevelt with a chair!
@@BaggedSoup OH! Followed by closeliner from Hearst!
@@bthsr7113 oh god teddy bring the trust up a ladder what he gonna do oh my god a ddt from the ladder oh my god

Jim Ross: BY GOD, ROOSEVELT IS OUT HERE WITH A STEEL CHAIR, BUSINESS IS GONNA PICK UP TONIGHT!!!
fun fact the railroad trust recombined into the BNSF railroad
Wow, I never know today's companies were actually 1 single big monopoly. They still kinda are because they treat each other like mergers and alliances than seperate companies. I wouldn't be surprised to hear the CEO of each company have each other on speed dial.
We need another teddy to break up the the monopolies that have a strangle hold in every aspect of our economy
fun fact the railroad trust recombined into the BNSF railroad
@@IndustrialParrot2816 that’s false my friend, sorry.
Not every aspect. Mostly just the big 5 or 6 tech companies.

6:45 Standard: "We'll appeal!"
6:58 Jim Ross: What's that..by gawd it's IT'S TEDDY ROOSEVELT, TEDDY ROOSEVELT WITH A STEEL CHAIR!!"
I would’ve casted Teddy Roosevelt as a live action Doomslayer if he where still alive
1:27 This is incorrect. You put the wrong President.
0:41 Oh so in the past politicians had to retract lies when challenged? Good to know.
BULLY!!
A challenge! I love competition!
Now where would I mount the stuffed head of a Winston!?
6:41 I like that subtle Ace Attorney reference where the "other judge" is the Judge's Younger Brother from Ace Attorney.
In the second part of the Majapahit series, Kubilai Khan is shown reeling a shiny Gyarados.
Pokemon reference.
Imagine Ol' Teddy going after Bazoz and Musk.
8:40 Wait...so that's why so many company logos are red-and-blue?!? Because they're just mimicking the original Standard logo?!? Because they once *were* Standard?!?!? Geez, that really puts into perspective how big Standard was when companies like Exxon and Chevron are just tiny parts of the whole.
Pls do one on the mexican revalotion.
I agree with this.
you have to vote on patreon
8:08 such a good line...
The US needs another teddy Roosevelt
Rockefeller: But... I donated money to you campaign?
Roosevelt: And this gives you, power over me?
Roosevelt:I destory trusts
Parker:but what if you are one?
I like the way you guys do your commercial, a very short thanks to a company instead of annoying me with some "unskippable" add. Thanks! =)
You guys are the most useful and realistic channel on TH-cam. Thank you so much for your work and creativity through interpreting history
This is one of the umpteen many reasons Teddy Roosevelt is my favorite president. He didn't just talk the talk, he walked the walk.
He spoke softly and carried a very large stick,
Also if we had another teddy Roosevelt I would jump my Texan Butt to join the new Rough Riders
Yes. He may not have been the most true progressive president toward other races, but he did do his best.
Prosecutors: *sees Standard Oil sweating after being ruled guilty* oh look it’s free real estate.

We need to do this to Disney, Amazon, and Facebook
Thank you so much for these videos! Me and my dad love watching these 😂😆
We need my boy teddy now more than ever man
Companies: * Bribes Roosevelt *
Roosevelt: *I'LL TAKE YOUR ENTIRE STOCK OF MONEY, YOUR TEARS, AND YOUR DEFEAT"*
Interesting series. Finally something I did not know anything beforehand. Also a topic that wasn't done by others in recent time. Thanks.
This series is encouraging me to watch. The man who built American again on the history channel and on last thing to say “save my soul “ is you know what I mean
I have been waiting SO LONG
zoey with the conductors hat is just the cutest
Long time viewer, but this is one of my favorite series you've done.
Were literally just learning about this in school right now thank you
I love how the 2 different judge appearing at 6:30 are the Aces Attorney judge from PW: AA- Trial and tribulation
Press in 1904: pushing rage against monopolies
Press in 2021: please let's see what these monopolies have to say for the sake of "Both sides"
That because the media is also controlled by giant near monopolies now a lot of the time
This is exactly what I wanted to watch after work 🧡🧡
"And the hits kept comin'."
*And they don't stop comin'.*
While completely unrelated to Standard, Roosevelt slipped away from the secret service for a few hours in 1906 because he wanted to ride on a submarine.
Standard: Here's something extra for ya, Teddy! So we're good?
Teddy Roosevelt: Woah! Thanks! Now I have enough money to buy this chair to bust you with!😂
Don’t forget about the Panic of 1907. The Star of that Show was John Pierpoint Morgan, who saved Roosevelts’s Bacon. Morgan put together a Steel Trust to stop the Panic which Roosevelt agreed to leave alone in the Gentleman’s Agreement. You Trustbusting was good up to a point.
I just love that whenever Teddy Roosevelt pops up couldn't hear opening he just hits somebody with some blunt object
yay :) cant wait for the next one of these series
Lmao he really said "now watch me hit this drive"
Thanks for the video.
Teddy was a true Bad Ass... We need him now..
I like how 'ol Theodore was so badass that he just plain took the companies' money, but still continued with the trustbusting
aa the timing on this is almost perfect haha
we just read about this in our textbooks and few nights ago .)!
Martin van Buren didn't run in 1820.
I’m sorry if I sound rude but I’m just curious when he ran
@@madville9039 he won in 1836, and lost reelection in 1840. the unopposed person in 1820 was, in fact, monroe.
I assume they are refering to the 1836 election.

This is why I love Teddy.
Amazing video as always! Hopefully there'll be a video about Ulysses S. Grant some day. Grant has an amazing story and I feel like there are a lot of misconceptions about him.
Those are some good references to Ace Attorney with regular Judge and his younger brother. Nice one. 👍
Glossed over that appeal too quickly
Doesn't matter if they're found guilty and fined if they just appeal
I love this series
Ok props to who ever drew this out. 0:44 was especially good.
i love this series
Keep up the good work
Man those Roosevelts sure do love their Shermans
2:22 Who thought he was going to say "armed with the Sherman tank?"
Me
Cant wait for the next video
There needs to be a new one of these right now.
I have TRUST ;) that this will be a great video
I hope history repeats on this aspect. Theodore Roosevelt is a hero of mine.
Damn.
All that work and Standard just evolves and becomes stronger
The funny part is, I am learning this right now in school. This came just in time
