Mother fucker even lost his loved ones. He is what men aspired to be, so badass, I honestly think he would have carved his face in the mountain with his fists.
Teddy’s daughter Alive was a chip off the old block. When a diplomat complained to him that Alice was smoking on the White House roof, he said “Sir, I can be president of the United States or I can control Alice. I simply cannot do both.”
She was just disturbing at times though. For example, for fun she would bring a pet snake into parties and then laugh as other ladies ran screaming in terror. Teddy was sometimes completely ashamed of her.
@Thunderbird1 Teddy wasn’t ashamed of her! She was so smart and charming he brought her into diplomatic meetings bc she could charm the pants off of anyone. Also the reason why Alice was seen as wild was before she wanted to be seen AND heard which was seen as scandalous at the time as women were supposed to be quiet and meek. Also you forgot to mention that Teddy told her she couldn’t smoke under his roof so she went to the top of the roof😂 she was an icon

Death had to take Roosevelt sleeping, for if he had been awake, there would have been a fight."-Vice President Thomas R. Marshall upon learning of Teddy's death.
Fun fact: When TR ordered his men to ride 90 miles in 2-3 days, they refused because it was impossible. So, TR got on horse, rode 90 miles in one day, fell asleep, and went back the next morning, ordering his men to go. If that isn’t the biggest power move, I don’t know what is!!!
Upon the passing of his wife and mother, he wrote in his personal journal, "The light has gone out from my life." The man faced one of the most painful things possible in life, yet he didn't let it stop him, truly a man of legends
Bummed you did t mention the time some thieves stole his boat so he tracked them through the snow, captured them, and escorted them through dangerous terrain into custody. Afterward the thieves THANKED him for not killing them on sight.
@@omega1575 A thumbs up vote for a true American. Actually, you could be from Canada for all I know but the point is you mentioned TR and Full Metal Alchemist in the same sentence. "Yeeeehaaaa!"🤠
He literally got forced into the presidency: - People tell him to become VP - He says no - President says no - People put run his campaign without him - He goes on the ballot against his own wishes - He wins VP unanimously - President gets shot - VP = P if President is dead - He becomes president
Imagine dedicating your entire life to become president, but fail Meanwhile this dude does everything humanly possible to *NOT* become president, but wins anyway
Funny enough, Party Boss Thomas Platt nominated Roosevelt for VP because the latter was so reformist that he annoyed conservative Republicans that benefited from big business. He figured that kicking him from New York to VP would prevent him from doing anything significant. Oh the irony...
Isn't it funny, that majority of the modt powerful men at that time was sporting some rugged facial hair. Maybe it's the practice at the time but man it's pretty weird seeing leaders back then with some bushy ass mustaches.
Combine the scholarship of Pete Buttigieg, the arrogance of Donald Trump, the progressive policies of Elizabeth Warren, and you’d still be missing the political efficiency and outdoorsmanship of Theodore Roosevelt.
Fun fact, his son Theodore Roosevelt Jr was a veteran of WW1 and was a general during WW2. He notably led his men in person during D-Day despite the fact that he was 57 years old (making him the oldest soldier during the landing), had heart problems, and had to use a cane to seport himself. He died days later of a heart attack and is baried in Normandy. He was postumesly awarded the medal of honor for his service.
I think it was on Utah Beach landing in Normandy. The Division landed in the wrong position and Roosevelt Jr. lead it from the front... with his Big Stick, making papa proud.
Teddy Junior also just decided to casually start the invasion of Normandy from the wrong beach and then just worked there way back to where they were suppose to land. Calming shotting; "Okay. We'll start the war from right here". Chaotic Good. Am I right.
@@Lablass- he didn't really "decide" that, erronous navigation is to blame. The "we'll start from here" quote is opposite the meaning - that he'll work from current position and not try to realign his forces with the plan considering it's no longer viable.
@@yochaiwyss3843 I know Teddy Jr. really didn't have a choice when the tides shifted his landing boat to the wrong beach head and that they were pretty much screwed from the moment they landed. It's just the sheer tenacity it took for him to be there in the first place and then to have the whole situation unfold the way it did. If it was the plot of a book, I would immediately call bullshit and accuse the writter of adding in drama for no reason.
It’s no coincidence that Princip waited to assassinate the Archduke after Roosevelt was out of office. I imagine them getting a call from President Roosevelt saying “I have a very particular set of skills.”
except his skills were so wide-ranging they couldn't even be called "particular". dude could give his enemy a list of a hundred wildly different ways to kick their asses and then follow through on every single one of them
His son, Teddy Jr had a lot to live up to. So, he proceeded to fight in and win America’s first victory in WW1, getting shot and gased along the way. Later he proceeded to storm a beach on D Day, as the only general to land with his troops. He did this, in his 50s, with a limp (from previously noted WW1 bullet wound), and a heart condition.
Funny enough, the beach Teddy Jr. landed on was not the one he was supposed to land on. Apparently his landing craft went slightly adrift during the confusion that was the Normandy Landings. However when looking around at terrain, which was more favorable than the designated landing zone, Teddy Jr. channeled his namesake and said "Well, we'll start the war right here." He then had his troops clear out the Germans, while directing additional troops from his part of the invasion force to his location.
@Average Joesson When a man tried to assassinate Jackson and his gun misfired, Jackson took to beating the man with his cane nearly to death, having to be pulled off by members of his staff. Also, someone gave a 1600lb wheel of cheese to the President as a gift (I think ironically, by a supporter of his opponent, but whatever), and it sat in the white house for I think over a year, before finally being brought into the front garden for a massive cheese party for the whole city. Think of the smell in the house, and the state of the cheese they ended up eating, and how drunk everyone had to have gotten, and how vile everyone's farts were for days afterward.
No. His stats were high enough that he could roll 3s and 5s and still get where he wanted to be. Rolling nothing but 20s implies he got lucky. Theodore Roosevelt was a man who charged head first regardless of what his dice says. That's how he rolled.
My favorite stories of him was how he could speak multiple languages - terribly. Almost unintelligible, but with so much confidence behind it that foreign dignitaries could understand what he was saying.
Another awesome bit about Teddy's time in the police force. One day he had an appointment with an intrepid gunsmith who wanted to pitch to him a special new gun for his officers to use, what is known today as the pump-action shotgun. On the day of the meeting the gunsmith walked up to Roosevelt, shook his hand, then, without a saying a word, immediately whipped out the shotgun and fired five blank shell into the air within the span of ten seconds. Then Roosevelt said, without hesitation, "I'll take one hundred."
A: Teddy is the best! B: one of my most treasured possesions is a handwritten postcard by teddy to my great great grandfather, which happened to be panama’s first president
Imagine if Teddy, as a third party, had somehow won that election and got in for a third term. Not only would he have been one of the few, if only elected third party presidents, but he wouldn't have gotten that nasty infection from the Amazon, and would've undoubtedly done many more great things and he would've lived a longer life
Totally wild to think about, also if he would have been elected as a third party it would've changed the voting system or at least proved that a third party candidate could win
@@tagtrenton8659 yeah, plus based on new info I learned, he could've prevented a LOT more casualties in WW1 and maybe even stopped WW2, as T. Roosevelt would've had the US be more involved in the Treaty of Versailles and based on his personal views and practices, would've pushed for less punative conditions for the peoples of Germany who were largely unresponsible for what in all had happened (it was the higher ups and the military, yet the punishment went to the working class and societies of Germany when the treaty of Versailles was signed), plus he would've had the US enter the war a lot sooner, and Germany would've felt less bad about losing because, let's face it, taking on the US is a nightmare for literally any country in any time period after the country was actually united and not at war with itself.
True, although ironically his presidency was one of the last truly peaceful ones in US history, and his actions as president averted and ended multiple wars rather than starting or escalating any. He really lived up to his mantra of "speak softly but carry a big stick."
You didn't put in that he basically died of a broken heart after his sons he sent off to war for glory and honor both died in WW1? It showed that only Teddy Roosevelt had the power to kill Teddy Roosevelt.
William Brown Teddy Roosevelt did not die from a ‘broken heart’ 🙄 He had innumerable health problems after contracting malaria on that trip down the then-unknown Amazon. He never full recovered from that trip.
Besides Teddy Jr. who led the troops at Utah beach, another one of his sons, Kermit Roosevelt, accompanied him during the Amazon trip and grew out a really badass beard while doing so.
When he came to Amazon on Brazil the guy who did the exploration with him is also a Brazilian hero/explorer called marshal Cândido Rondon, this man was the son of indigenous people and settlers, he spent his whole life protecting indigenous people, helping to build telegraph lines in the Amazon , making conservation areas and cataloging new regions. He always told his soldiers if they saw an Indian "die if you have to, never kill". Rondon and Roosevelt, even with differences, got along well, and Rondon was very surprised by the bravery and resistance of that man, during the expedition they traveled 679 km of forest, with malaria, wild animals, several isolated indigenous tribes and a river was named Roosevelt.
My favorite TR story is that when the Maine blew up, the Secretary of the Navy left to get a massage, then decided to take the rest of the day off, leaving Teddy in charge. He came back the next day to find the Navy had been prepared for war.
Look up his son, Teddy Roosevelt Jr. He was a general in WWII that was also the only general to fight on the frontlines of D-Day. Definitely did his old man proud.
I'm certain that when Nazi learned that Teddy Jr was leading American soldiers on D-day, they summoned devil or cthulu and made a deal that they would sacrifice a 100000 German souls in exchange for either of two to kill Teddy Jr.
All of his son's were war heroes, each serving in both wars (minus Quintin who died in combat in WWI) and each wounded in combat. Ethel was a nurse in WWI in France and served with the Red Cross home in WWII instead of combat probably more due what her gender allowed for the time than for her desire to serve.
I'd love if someday you decided to do a sequel to this vid on Teddy's daughter, Alice Roosevelt, who definitely inherited all of her dad's Crazy Awesome and rulebreaker tendencies. Teddy once said to someone who told him that Alice was smoking on the roof of the White House "I can be President of the United States, or I can control Alice. I cannot possibly do both." She cut her wedding cake with a sword. Also, the Chinese Dowager Empress gave her a Pekingese dog named Manchu.
I was severely asthmatic as well during my middle school years. For a few months before entering high school I learn how to control my breathing and after that, I join a mountaineering club on the same year whilst working out regularly, especially on activities that involves a good control of one's breath. Ever since, I don't think I have suffer from an asthma attack ever again. So yeah, I can relate to his physical activities actually curing his asthma in this video, it works guys, you just need to learn to control your breathing.
“Roosevelt is the kind of man who, after you shake his hand, you have to go home wring the personality out of your clothes.” I don’t remember who said it, just that it was one of his political adversaries, but even so, this is still my favorite line concerning TR.
What impresses me about Teddy serving in Cuba is that he did it because he was a jingoist and he thought he'd be a hypocrite if he didn't fight: "A man’s usefulness depends upon his living up to his ideals in so far as he can. Now, I have consistently preached what our opponents are pleased to call “jingo doctrines” for a good many years. One of the commonest taunts directed at men like myself is that we are armchair and parlor jingoes who wish to see others do what we only advocate doing. I care very little for such a taunt, except as it affects my usefulness, but I cannot afford to disregard the fact that my power for good, whatever it may be, would be gone if I didn’t try to live up to the doctrines I have tried to preach. Moreover, it seems to me that it would be a good deal more important from the standpoint of the nation as a whole that men like myself should go to war than that we should stay comfortably in offices at home and let others carry on the war that we have urged." -TR, 1898
@Leonis Krigorian He would, at least in a fight without weapons. Chuck Norris is a legit black belt and possesses far more knowledge of hand to hand combat afforded by the privileges of living in a more advanced time.
Blue Bird Roosevelt was a professional boxer, barely flinched when shot, was a war hero and won fights against people armed with guns. Roosevelt would just be to manly for Chuck Norris.
@@noodles5438 I agree, Roosevelt was more manly than Chuck Norris. But he wouldn't beat Chuck Norris in a brawl. Chuck can kick and grapple. His techniques are more advanced than anything they had in the early 1900s. He's also a practitioner of BJJ, which is arguably the single greatest advancement ever developed in hand-to-hand combat.
@@ritam8767 While possibly true, I think it's the attitude that's admirable. Politicians these days either want complete control and/or are pushovers and nothing gets done. What does gets done just hurts citizens and stunts progress. If we ever have someone half the man Teddy was, we'd start moving forward again. Unfortunately, ignorance and greed rules now. It's now about owning the other 'team'. What I've seen the last 2 years has really shattered all hope for this country. 😅

Jack Rackam, I doubt you will ever read this but your video has literally changed my life or the course of almost two years now. I was so enamored by the idea of such a manly man existing that I read his biography. Then studied psychology anywhere I could find it (books, youtube, peer review studies) to learn what a man is. I’ve now found my way forward, and am manlier than ever. I even grew a full mustache like the president’s. I even visited Roosevelt’s old ranch, now a national park. All this to say thank you, in a time of great confusion and paranoia, you and the president lit my way into having a better life and not falling into the pit of despair that 2020 sought to trip my family and I into. God bless you, and everyone reading this.
You should do one of these on Roosevelt's daughter Alice, who was a character in her own right . Stunning beautiful, she became known as "America's Princess " during her father's presidency. Opinionated, and determined to do as she damn well pleased, she was known for smoking atop the White House when her father forbade her to smoke "Under his roof", drive her own automobile at excessive speeds through the streets of the nation's capital, tote a snake around in her purse, bet on horse races, strip to her lingerie at a drunken orgy in Newport R.I. when her father was asked to rein in his wild and untamed offspring, his response was "I can do one of two things, I can be President of the United States, or I can control Alice, I cannot possibly do both!" In 1905, Roosevelt sent Alice to act as his personal Goodwill Ambassador, along with a host of Congressmen and their wives, on a diplomatic tour of the Far East headed up by Roosevelt's secretary of War William Howard Taft. During the trip Alice did what she was best at, causing controversy and generating newspaper copy with such stunts as going for a swim in the ship's pool wearing all her clothes, dancing a pagan version of the hula in Hawaii, getting so drunk on Japanese Sake that she passed out on her bed still wearing her evening clothes, and later she got stoned on opium with the Empress of China. When the party finally returned to the United states, Alice had a boatload of "Loot" given to her by an assortment of foreign dignitaries and a fiancee, Ohio Representative Nicolas Longworth, a known womanizer. They got married in a lavish White House ceremony in 1906, and settled into domestic bliss, at least for a while. Longworth fell back on his old tomcat ways, leading Alice to eventually retaliate with an affair of her own that produced a bastard daughter Paulina. In later years, while the majority of her contemporaries were dropping from old age and various other affiliations, Alice kept on keeping on, becoming an acid tounged Washington D.C. fixture until her death at the age of 96, reputedly sticking out her tounge and flipping the bird to the Grim Reaper when her came for her.
I know so much about Teddy but I didnt know all this about Alice. This made me smile so much! She was a complete American badass that lived life on her own terms.
@@MrGloriousBastard oh fuck off! How was she a hooker? You mad because your life will never have this kind of excitement much less historical significance.

Interesting fact: TR wanted to remove "In God We Trust" from US currency, because he believed it was blasphemy to God (since the Bible condemns the love of money). He was definitely a unique fellow.
We forget that the manliest lession Theodore learned is when his youngest son died in WW1, right before his death, is that maybe war isn't always the way to go.
Sadly if there was one trait Teddy probably never really learned its that. WW1 was the war that redefined conflict and made the modern age. Teddy lived in the last age of cavalry and sweeping combat. If anything I'd beat he was swearing at the germans for turning war into a slog. (though that fault falls one everyone trying to find new ways to kill people)

not true. the Roosevelts were a well-to-do family and he was homeschooled and tutored. but graduating from Harvard with honors is plenty difficult enough to be impressive on its own
I actually saw that article! I was sort of surprised, but after seeing the statue in question - if I wanted everyone to hate Teddy Roosevelt by highlighting all of his worst qualities and ignoring his best, that's the statue I would put up
@@svartirbjorn197 I don't get a sense of friendship from it, personally. Teddy looks a lot more like a conqueror in that depiction, and neither of the people underneath him look terribly happy to be there

Ah yes Teddy the Maniest Chad of them all to the point his picture can turn any stright man Gay vs Wilson the Most ifeminate Incel Virgin to ever take the Presidency.
Teddys spirit lives on! I have lung problems. This January 2020 i had a terrible bronchitis/possible covid event where i couldnt breath and thought i would die. Remembering Teddy Roosevelt, in the middle of the night i hopped on my bike and biked my first 25 miles. the sickness went away. If i was gonna die i wanted to go with a fight! People like Teddy Roosevelt, david Goggins etc show us that we can be bigger than life.
There is a legend that Theodore (he greatly disliked being called Teddy) was actually too tough for the Harvard boxing club. Story goes that he walked in looking to join and was turned away. He came back the following day and challenged their best fighter, forcing the guy to call it quits after 3 rounds.
Jackson was ok….. except for the trail of tears which really fucked his legacy. Which sucks because Jackson was the only President to nearly completely pay off the National debt. He eliminated over 99% of it
Teddy kinda sounds a bit like Cave Johnson, i can see Teddy advertising portal guns and mobility gels to the American People. Edit: I dunno how i got these likes but thank you for the support.
He definitely was the kind of guy who, if life had given him lemons, would develop flammable lemons and burn down life's house with them. Don't know about the human experiments part tho.
@Abc Xyz *Bull Moose, because the Republicans kicked him out. Damn the GOP, they stand for nothing. The lesser of two evils is still evil. When have the Republicans ever actually stood up for the common man? All they do is compromise.
@Abc Xyz you realize the parties switched ideologies right? Republicans were the progressives and democrats the conservatives. Its a well known part of history. So calling him a Republican is irrelevant and incorrect. If he had to run today he would have to run as a Democrat or independent
The 1912 election as a whole was bizarre, the incumbent president got third place, a socialist got 6% of the vote (imagine that nowadays), in fact all the candidates besides Wilson were leftists and even then Wilson was a lot more moderate then the rest of his party, had Taft and Debs not ran I imagine Roosevelt would have absolutely destroyed Wilson and probably extended the Progressive Era for another four years at least probably more since now Roosevelt would have been free from the two term precedent made by Washington
While this video does have great points in Roosevelt's life, it does gloss over important details, such as it talks about him going to Africa and hunting a large amount of animals for the Smithsonian, but it doesn't talk about the huge conservationist take Teddy had on National Parks. A man who could do it all.
he was the true embodiment of America, the American spirit, and the American dream. Of-course he still had some dated ideals but overall is still an absolute icon and someone all people should strive to be.
I had asthma and overcame it by running. When you have good stamina and wind, asthma attacks become uncommon. My stepbrother had circulation problems in his legs, the doctors offered to cut his legs off. He started running with me and by the time he could jog half a mile without stopping, the swelling was gone and coloration of his legs was normal. Nut up for health people!
As a kid growing up, you kind of just "know" the presidents but don't really understand what they did. It took the most autistic reason in middle school for me to pick Theodore as a historical figure research assignment, but I learned so much about him and he became one of my most favorite historical figures. He did so much for the country and so much for the people, that it'll be a while before we see another President like him. Side note: He preferred to be called Teedie over Teddy.
The Boogieaman checks under his bed for Chuck Noris, Chuck Noris checks under his bed for Christopher Lee, and Christopher Lee checks under his bed for Teddy Roosevelt
Fun Fact: Christopher Lee is a step-brother of Ian Fleming. Fleming recommended Lee to be the titular villain for the first James Bond movie Dr. No, but was too late as EON casted Joseph Wiseman for the role. He however got the chance to star in a Bond movie as Scaramanga in The Man With The Golden Gun.
I’m from southwest North Dakota, about 30 miles away from where his ranch was. The dude is idolized here. Statues, museums, countless businesses named after him.
Is no one gonna mention he was a judo brown belt and was a voracious reader? For the former he had a mat placed in the white house where he'd show and practice his techniques on foreign dignitaries and even his family members. And the latter, he was an excellent speed reader. He'd reportedly finish one book a day before breakfast, and up to three a day if he had the time, and still be able to recall key details.
I like how he gave up training in boxing while serving in the White House only AFTER he was blinded in one eye from a detached retina. Today America has presidents who impress us because they can either walk down an airplane ramp unassisted or curl a 5ibs dumbbell. A century ago, the POTUS was a middle-age man would could probably compete in an MMA tournament.
@@cmhealy14 He also practiced Singlestick. A type of fencing that used a hardwood stick to train soldiers in the use of broadswords. He would routinely have bruises and bandages on him fro injuries he got during training. And he advocated Jiu-Jitsu training in the US armed forces.
Everytime Death tried to take Teddy Roosevelt he left with a bloody nose several missing teeth, a concussion, a fractured skull on top of that, and several broken bones if ever there was a mans man it was Theodore Roosevelt
One my favorite events from Theodore Roosevelt's presidency is the cruise of the Great White Fleet in 1907-1908, when he sent 16 USN (predreadnought) battleships on a round-the-world show-the-flag tour. He kept the itinerary a secret because he knew some USN admirals, and a few rival US Senators, would protest the action. When the admirals did protest, Roosevelt responded "I want all failures, blunders and shortcomings made apparent in time of peace, and not in time of war." And when one Senator from Maine found out and threatened to withhold funding for the voyage (without realizing it had already been approved earlier in the year), Roosevelt responded "Try and get it back." The voyage went off (mostly) without a hitch, and result was that it improved relations with the Japanese, the French, the British, and the Italians (parts of the Great White Fleet provided humanitarian aid after a large earthquake decimated Messina).
These videos are pure gold gotta tell you, I've been rewatching all of them at least seven times now. The takes you do here and the subjects you cover are nothing but amazing. I would like to request another Swede from you though, or two, actually. Queen Kristina, who was thought to be a boy when she was born and raised as a boy because when Gustavus Adolphus, yes that one, is your father you are going to be taught how to lead an army. She also abdicated so she could convert to Catholicism and live large in Rome instead of being queen. Second there's Gustav III who was really into balls and fancy stories, to the point where he staged a cuop to take power from the parliament (the one that took power after Charles XII died) and go to war with Russia and take back the land that was lost in the great northern war, note here that the new empress of Russia was his cousin Catherine, yes that one. The war went pretty horrible because watching operas in Paris isn't a good substitute for a military academy, but there was an interesting naval battle where cannons were loaded in little rowing boats and rowed all the way from Gothenburg around the country, and across the Baltic sea to fight frigates, and won. He was later assassinated during a masquerade in a conspiracy to shift power back to parliament.
Let me just say 1) Thank you! 2) I love when people include a story about the people they want to see me cover instead of just dropping a name, so thanks for that too!

Fun fact, his son Theodore Roosevelt Jr was a veteran of WW1 and was a general during WW2.
He notably led his men in person during D-Day despite the fact that he was 57 years old (making him the oldest soldier during the landing), had heart problems, and had to use a cane to seport himself.
He died days later of a heart attack and is baried in Normandy. He was postumesly awarded the medal of honor for his service.
I can hear Teddy Sr. now: That's my boy!
I think it was on Utah Beach landing in Normandy. The Division landed in the wrong position and Roosevelt Jr. lead it from the front... with his Big Stick, making papa proud.
Teddy Junior also just decided to casually start the invasion of Normandy from the wrong beach and then just worked there way back to where they were suppose to land. Calming shotting; "Okay. We'll start the war from right here". Chaotic Good. Am I right.
@@Lablass- he didn't really "decide" that, erronous navigation is to blame. The "we'll start from here" quote is opposite the meaning - that he'll work from current position and not try to realign his forces with the plan considering it's no longer viable.
@@yochaiwyss3843 I know Teddy Jr. really didn't have a choice when the tides shifted his landing boat to the wrong beach head and that they were pretty much screwed from the moment they landed. It's just the sheer tenacity it took for him to be there in the first place and then to have the whole situation unfold the way it did. If it was the plot of a book, I would immediately call bullshit and accuse the writter of adding in drama for no reason.
It’s no coincidence that Princip waited to assassinate the Archduke after Roosevelt was out of office. I imagine them getting a call from President Roosevelt saying “I have a very particular set of skills.”
He had PRINCIP-LES...sorry i had to
It was at this moment the Black Hand knew....they f$cked up
Now that is a Tarantino movie I wanna see!
except his skills were so wide-ranging they couldn't even be called "particular". dude could give his enemy a list of a hundred wildly different ways to kick their asses and then follow through on every single one of them
@@Paulunatr And that would still be the abridged version of the list.
His son, Teddy Jr had a lot to live up to.
So, he proceeded to fight in and win America’s first victory in WW1, getting shot and gased along the way.
Later he proceeded to storm a beach on D Day, as the only general to land with his troops. He did this, in his 50s, with a limp (from previously noted WW1 bullet wound), and a heart condition.
Funny enough, the beach Teddy Jr. landed on was not the one he was supposed to land on. Apparently his landing craft went slightly adrift during the confusion that was the Normandy Landings. However when looking around at terrain, which was more favorable than the designated landing zone, Teddy Jr. channeled his namesake and said "Well, we'll start the war right here." He then had his troops clear out the Germans, while directing additional troops from his part of the invasion force to his location.
Apparently he died of a heart attack shortly after arriving.
Like father like son. A legacy of badassery
Valhøls gates are open to these men.
@@AlexKS1992 Omar Bradley had pushed for his promotion for his actions, to two star general, and Eisenhower approved but a day or two after he died.

Average Joesson Oh boy, are you in for a ride
@Average Joesson When a man tried to assassinate Jackson and his gun misfired, Jackson took to beating the man with his cane nearly to death, having to be pulled off by members of his staff.
Also, someone gave a 1600lb wheel of cheese to the President as a gift (I think ironically, by a supporter of his opponent, but whatever), and it sat in the white house for I think over a year, before finally being brought into the front garden for a massive cheese party for the whole city. Think of the smell in the house, and the state of the cheese they ended up eating, and how drunk everyone had to have gotten, and how vile everyone's farts were for days afterward.
@@MajesticSkywhale Don't forget he actively tried several times to murder his vice president!

Another awesome bit about Teddy's time in the police force. One day he had an appointment with an intrepid gunsmith who wanted to pitch to him a special new gun for his officers to use, what is known today as the pump-action shotgun. On the day of the meeting the gunsmith walked up to Roosevelt, shook his hand, then, without a saying a word, immediately whipped out the shotgun and fired five blank shell into the air within the span of ten seconds. Then Roosevelt said, without hesitation, "I'll take one hundred."

@@tagtrenton8659 yeah, plus based on new info I learned, he could've prevented a LOT more casualties in WW1 and maybe even stopped WW2, as T. Roosevelt would've had the US be more involved in the Treaty of Versailles and based on his personal views and practices, would've pushed for less punative conditions for the peoples of Germany who were largely unresponsible for what in all had happened (it was the higher ups and the military, yet the punishment went to the working class and societies of Germany when the treaty of Versailles was signed), plus he would've had the US enter the war a lot sooner, and Germany would've felt less bad about losing because, let's face it, taking on the US is a nightmare for literally any country in any time period after the country was actually united and not at war with itself.

@@EndOfSmallSanctuary97so he lived by the quote “a wise man never starts a war, but must always prepared for one”? Respect 🫡

William Brown Teddy Roosevelt did not die from a ‘broken heart’ 🙄 He had innumerable health problems after contracting malaria on that trip down the then-unknown Amazon. He never full recovered from that trip.
@@dorothysay8327 that + grief I guess then.
Besides Teddy Jr. who led the troops at Utah beach, another one of his sons, Kermit Roosevelt, accompanied him during the Amazon trip and grew out a really badass beard while doing so.
When he came to Amazon on Brazil the guy who did the exploration with him is also a Brazilian hero/explorer called marshal Cândido Rondon, this man was the son of indigenous people and settlers, he spent his whole life protecting indigenous people, helping to build telegraph lines in the Amazon , making conservation areas and cataloging new regions. He always told his soldiers if they saw an Indian "die if you have to, never kill". Rondon and Roosevelt, even with differences, got along well, and Rondon was very surprised by the bravery and resistance of that man, during the expedition they traveled 679 km of forest, with malaria, wild animals, several isolated indigenous tribes and a river was named Roosevelt.
He was also played by Robin Williams in the documentary night at the museum

Look up his son, Teddy Roosevelt Jr. He was a general in WWII that was also the only general to fight on the frontlines of D-Day. Definitely did his old man proud.
Vosian And Teddy’s son earned the Medal of Honor just like his father did.
Not only that, he did it with a cane and died of a heart attack over there too. Even the Nazis couldn't kill him
I'm certain that when Nazi learned that Teddy Jr was leading American soldiers on D-day, they summoned devil or cthulu and made a deal that they would sacrifice a 100000 German souls in exchange for either of two to kill Teddy Jr.
All of his son's were war heroes, each serving in both wars (minus Quintin who died in combat in WWI) and each wounded in combat. Ethel was a nurse in WWI in France and served with the Red Cross home in WWII instead of combat probably more due what her gender allowed for the time than for her desire to serve.
Fun fact his son was actually Theodore Roosevelt III it was Teddy who was named Theodore Roosevelt Jr
When he said "Speak softly and carry a big stick" he was referencing his massive baby cannon.
"Baby cannon" now there's a euphemism I haven't heard before
I'd love if someday you decided to do a sequel to this vid on Teddy's daughter, Alice Roosevelt, who definitely inherited all of her dad's Crazy Awesome and rulebreaker tendencies.
Teddy once said to someone who told him that Alice was smoking on the roof of the White House "I can be President of the United States, or I can control Alice. I cannot possibly do both."
She cut her wedding cake with a sword. Also, the Chinese Dowager Empress gave her a Pekingese dog named Manchu.

Teddy Roosevelt is a level of manliness that only a fraction of a percent of all of mankind can match.
What impresses me about Teddy serving in Cuba is that he did it because he was a jingoist and he thought he'd be a hypocrite if he didn't fight:
"A man’s usefulness depends upon his living up to his ideals in so far as he can. Now, I have consistently preached what our opponents are pleased to call “jingo doctrines” for a good many years. One of the commonest taunts directed at men like myself is that we are armchair and parlor jingoes who wish to see others do what we only advocate doing. I care very little for such a taunt, except as it affects my usefulness, but I cannot afford to disregard the fact that my power for good, whatever it may be, would be gone if I didn’t try to live up to the doctrines I have tried to preach. Moreover, it seems to me that it would be a good deal more important from the standpoint of the nation as a whole that men like myself should go to war than that we should stay comfortably in offices at home and let others carry on the war that we have urged." -TR, 1898

That punk bitch
You should do one of these on Roosevelt's daughter Alice, who was a character in her own right . Stunning beautiful, she became known as "America's Princess " during her father's presidency. Opinionated, and determined to do as she damn well pleased, she was known for smoking atop the White House when her father forbade her to smoke "Under his roof", drive her own automobile at excessive speeds through the streets of the nation's capital, tote a snake around in her purse, bet on horse races, strip to her lingerie at a drunken orgy in Newport R.I. when her father was asked to rein in his wild and untamed offspring, his response was "I can do one of two things, I can be President of the United States, or I can control Alice, I cannot possibly do both!"
In 1905, Roosevelt sent Alice to act as his personal Goodwill Ambassador, along with a host of Congressmen and their wives, on a diplomatic tour of the Far East headed up by Roosevelt's secretary of War William Howard Taft. During the trip Alice did what she was best at, causing controversy and generating newspaper copy with such stunts as going for a swim in the ship's pool wearing all her clothes, dancing a pagan version of the hula in Hawaii, getting so drunk on Japanese Sake that she passed out on her bed still wearing her evening clothes, and later she got stoned on opium with the Empress of China. When the party finally returned to the United states, Alice had a boatload of "Loot" given to her by an assortment of foreign dignitaries and a fiancee, Ohio Representative Nicolas Longworth, a known womanizer. They got married in a lavish White House ceremony in 1906, and settled into domestic bliss, at least for a while. Longworth fell back on his old tomcat ways, leading Alice to eventually retaliate with an affair of her own that produced a bastard daughter Paulina. In later years, while the majority of her contemporaries were dropping from old age and various other affiliations, Alice kept on keeping on, becoming an acid tounged Washington D.C. fixture until her death at the age of 96, reputedly sticking out her tounge and flipping the bird to the Grim Reaper when her came for her.

We forget that the manliest lession Theodore learned is when his youngest son died in WW1, right before his death, is that maybe war isn't always the way to go.
Sadly if there was one trait Teddy probably never really learned its that. WW1 was the war that redefined conflict and made the modern age. Teddy lived in the last age of cavalry and sweeping combat. If anything I'd beat he was swearing at the germans for turning war into a slog. (though that fault falls one everyone trying to find new ways to kill people)

As a bear aficionado, I can't believe you removed Roosevelt's sexy dad bod and replaced it with these horrid, albeit impressive, six packs...
The dad bod is even more manlier than a six pack, change my mind.
@@diegodiego3164 no no... Bear Mode is the ultimate man's physique.
@@diegodiego3164 The dad bod is an abomination.
WTF
Anything Is better than a bear body
Just so y'all know, Roosevelt went and graduated from Harvard within 2 years, having no prior school knowledge! absolute chad
not true. the Roosevelts were a well-to-do family and he was homeschooled and tutored.
but graduating from Harvard with honors is plenty difficult enough to be impressive on its own
@@Paulunatr true. But
@@raidenpainn1561 It doesn't match your head cannon?
@@friedrichmyers yes
@@raidenpainn1561 Me too, brother, me too.
they're removing teddy roosevelt statue, its insane
I actually saw that article! I was sort of surprised, but after seeing the statue in question - if I wanted everyone to hate Teddy Roosevelt by highlighting all of his worst qualities and ignoring his best, that's the statue I would put up
@@JackRackam His worst qualities were his friendship with people of different races?
@@svartirbjorn197 I don't get a sense of friendship from it, personally. Teddy looks a lot more like a conqueror in that depiction, and neither of the people underneath him look terribly happy to be there
Jack Rackam you can interpret it in any way you want it doesn’t change the actual meaning of it
TBF, it’s an extremely problematic statue
Especially when you consider Roosevelt’s views toward Native Americans
Ah you missed my favorite story of Teddy where in rolls into a hotel bar in San Antonio to recruit rough riders by drinking everyone there under the table.
Not true, he almost never drank.
Teddy is my all time favorite president by far. As a hunter, fisherman, and conservationist, I can’t help but love the guy.
Woodrow Wilson is a Bond Villain, nobody's changing my mimd.
@Leo G and supposedly a real asshole
Wilson was a huge racist, helped set up the Federal Reserve, and helped get us tangled in World War I. Hands down one of America's worst presidents.
Don't insult Bond villains like that!
The Virgin Wilson
The CHAD Teddy
What about taftie
Ah yes Teddy the Maniest Chad of them all to the point his picture can turn any stright man Gay vs Wilson the Most ifeminate Incel Virgin to ever take the Presidency.
The Brad Taft

3:42 amazing attention to detail with that assassination, because Leon Czolgosz shot McKinley with a revolver hidden with a handkerchief. Amazing
Teddys spirit lives on! I have lung problems. This January 2020 i had a terrible bronchitis/possible covid event where i couldnt breath and thought i would die. Remembering Teddy Roosevelt, in the middle of the night i hopped on my bike and biked my first 25 miles. the sickness went away. If i was gonna die i wanted to go with a fight! People like Teddy Roosevelt, david Goggins etc show us that we can be bigger than life.
Didn't mention my favourite part about how the Rough Riders had no horses. Calvary unit that had no horses.
Pffttt... Cavalry with no horses... Yeah right.
*Looks up Rough Riders online*
You weren't kidding... You really weren't kidding...
"... their horses were not sent there with them."
wtf
They didn't have the cargo space to bring the horses, so they went on without them, and still got the damn job done. Superstuds.
Cavalry, not Calvary. Cavalry are horse-mounted troops, Calvary is where Jesus was crucified.
@@PandaMan-xy1he Thank heavens somebody speaks English around here!
There is a legend that Theodore (he greatly disliked being called Teddy) was actually too tough for the Harvard boxing club. Story goes that he walked in looking to join and was turned away. He came back the following day and challenged their best fighter, forcing the guy to call it quits after 3 rounds.
Man nobody ever gives my boy Andrew Jackson love, seriously the stories about that guy are absolutely insane
Jackson was ok….. except for the trail of tears which really fucked his legacy. Which sucks because Jackson was the only President to nearly completely pay off the National debt. He eliminated over 99% of it
Your boy almost killed all the Natives when the Yankees and Natives were supposed to co-exist
Your boy almost killed my entire race
Your boy watched “Birth of a Nation” in the White House and it was the first ever movie in it aswell, surprisingly
Teddy kinda sounds a bit like Cave Johnson, i can see Teddy advertising portal guns and mobility gels to the American People.
Edit: I dunno how i got these likes but thank you for the support.
He definitely was the kind of guy who, if life had given him lemons, would develop flammable lemons and burn down life's house with them. Don't know about the human experiments part tho.
And shower curtains
Bruh, he's the kind of guy who would have burned life's house down and given it a new, better house with blackjack and hookers
He sounds like Saxton Hale to me
@@nordicnostalgia8106 Doesn't have that Australian twang to me, m8.
My ultimate role-model. Staunch Conservationist, Avid Outdoorsman, Manly Man! He's who I want to be.
@Abc Xyz *Bull Moose, because the Republicans kicked him out. Damn the GOP, they stand for nothing. The lesser of two evils is still evil. When have the Republicans ever actually stood up for the common man? All they do is compromise.
@Abc Xyz If Teddy saw the state of the republican party today he would turn in his grave.
@@caiawlodarski5339 Maybe he'd come back to straighten them out.
@@YSLRD
With kind words and the biggest gun he can find.
@Abc Xyz you realize the parties switched ideologies right? Republicans were the progressives and democrats the conservatives. Its a well known part of history. So calling him a Republican is irrelevant and incorrect. If he had to run today he would have to run as a Democrat or independent
The 1912 election as a whole was bizarre, the incumbent president got third place, a socialist got 6% of the vote (imagine that nowadays), in fact all the candidates besides Wilson were leftists and even then Wilson was a lot more moderate then the rest of his party, had Taft and Debs not ran I imagine Roosevelt would have absolutely destroyed Wilson and probably extended the Progressive Era for another four years at least probably more since now Roosevelt would have been free from the two term precedent made by Washington
His life sounds like a shonen anime plot
@ᴍʀ ꜱᴍɪʟʏ Lmao no
I would totally watch that if someone made it.
While this video does have great points in Roosevelt's life, it does gloss over important details, such as it talks about him going to Africa and hunting a large amount of animals for the Smithsonian, but it doesn't talk about the huge conservationist take Teddy had on National Parks. A man who could do it all.
he was the true embodiment of America, the American spirit, and the American dream. Of-course he still had some dated ideals but overall is still an absolute icon and someone all people should strive to be.
I had asthma and overcame it by running. When you have good stamina and wind, asthma attacks become uncommon. My stepbrother had circulation problems in his legs, the doctors offered to cut his legs off. He started running with me and by the time he could jog half a mile without stopping, the swelling was gone and coloration of his legs was normal. Nut up for health people!
As a kid growing up, you kind of just "know" the presidents but don't really understand what they did.
It took the most autistic reason in middle school for me to pick Theodore as a historical figure research assignment, but I learned so much about him and he became one of my most favorite historical figures. He did so much for the country and so much for the people, that it'll be a while before we see another President like him.
Side note: He preferred to be called Teedie over Teddy.
I’ll keep that in mind
How dare Wilson prevents the manliest man in U.S. history from fighting in The Great War!
Teddy was not allowed to be president because he would have won both World Wars in one day.
Do I need more reasons to hate that man
@@kevinclass2010 God realized he had to be nerfed
Had to give the German a fighting chance at least
Wilson was kinda (a massive) a jerk so it fits with his character
Rest in peace Theodore Roosevelt you will be missed
You are still missed
@@darthsalutis5378We need you back more than ever!
This man earned the presidency with sheet badassery.
Modern presidents, resmuglicans AND demorats, really lower the bar.
The Boogieaman checks under his bed for Chuck Noris, Chuck Noris checks under his bed for Christopher Lee, and Christopher Lee checks under his bed for Teddy Roosevelt
Fun Fact: Christopher Lee is a step-brother of Ian Fleming. Fleming recommended Lee to be the titular villain for the first James Bond movie Dr. No, but was too late as EON casted Joseph Wiseman for the role. He however got the chance to star in a Bond movie as Scaramanga in The Man With The Golden Gun.
I’m from southwest North Dakota, about 30 miles away from where his ranch was. The dude is idolized here. Statues, museums, countless businesses named after him.
Finally, some recognition.
dude your face is literally 1/4 of a mountain. You got recognition, what you need is an amine series so young men will know what manly means.
Teddy "Chadius Optimus Maximus" Roosevelt
When "being a badass cowboy" is not the height of manliness you have achieved in your life.
Is no one gonna mention he was a judo brown belt and was a voracious reader?
For the former he had a mat placed in the white house where he'd show and practice his techniques on foreign dignitaries and even his family members.
And the latter, he was an excellent speed reader. He'd reportedly finish one book a day before breakfast, and up to three a day if he had the time, and still be able to recall key details.
And he is teached by one of the old guardian of judo ( essentially, one of the original!!!)
I like how he gave up training in boxing while serving in the White House only AFTER he was blinded in one eye from a detached retina. Today America has presidents who impress us because they can either walk down an airplane ramp unassisted or curl a 5ibs dumbbell. A century ago, the POTUS was a middle-age man would could probably compete in an MMA tournament.
@@cmhealy14 He also practiced Singlestick. A type of fencing that used a hardwood stick to train soldiers in the use of broadswords. He would routinely have bruises and bandages on him fro injuries he got during training.
And he advocated Jiu-Jitsu training in the US armed forces.
1:52 the man with the gun would have won if he had been sponsored by the great course plus
No I am afraid not even great courses plus could compare to Teddy
Teddy's deal with NordVPN would've protected his internal privacy. Teddy still wins
No that would be SkillShare
Hopefully he got a good coupon on the gun using Honey.
Everytime Death tried to take Teddy Roosevelt he left with a bloody nose several missing teeth, a concussion, a fractured skull on top of that, and several broken bones if ever there was a mans man it was Theodore Roosevelt
One my favorite events from Theodore Roosevelt's presidency is the cruise of the Great White Fleet in 1907-1908, when he sent 16 USN (predreadnought) battleships on a round-the-world show-the-flag tour. He kept the itinerary a secret because he knew some USN admirals, and a few rival US Senators, would protest the action. When the admirals did protest, Roosevelt responded "I want all failures, blunders and shortcomings made apparent in time of peace, and not in time of war." And when one Senator from Maine found out and threatened to withhold funding for the voyage (without realizing it had already been approved earlier in the year), Roosevelt responded "Try and get it back." The voyage went off (mostly) without a hitch, and result was that it improved relations with the Japanese, the French, the British, and the Italians (parts of the Great White Fleet provided humanitarian aid after a large earthquake decimated Messina).
because that is just how cool Teddy was
Men, manly men. Theodore Roosevelt was he. He was good. Great thanks, Jack.

These videos are pure gold gotta tell you, I've been rewatching all of them at least seven times now. The takes you do here and the subjects you cover are nothing but amazing. I would like to request another Swede from you though, or two, actually. Queen Kristina, who was thought to be a boy when she was born and raised as a boy because when Gustavus Adolphus, yes that one, is your father you are going to be taught how to lead an army. She also abdicated so she could convert to Catholicism and live large in Rome instead of being queen. Second there's Gustav III who was really into balls and fancy stories, to the point where he staged a cuop to take power from the parliament (the one that took power after Charles XII died) and go to war with Russia and take back the land that was lost in the great northern war, note here that the new empress of Russia was his cousin Catherine, yes that one. The war went pretty horrible because watching operas in Paris isn't a good substitute for a military academy, but there was an interesting naval battle where cannons were loaded in little rowing boats and rowed all the way from Gothenburg around the country, and across the Baltic sea to fight frigates, and won. He was later assassinated during a masquerade in a conspiracy to shift power back to parliament.
Let me just say
1) Thank you!
2) I love when people include a story about the people they want to see me cover instead of just dropping a name, so thanks for that too!
This guy is truly badass. Great respect to this guy.
they say that "death had to take roosevelt in his sleep" i bet death himself was getting his ass handed to him, and he probably only won decisively LMAO i bet president theodore could've carved his own face on mount rushmore with his bare fists. teddy roosevelt embodies the true soul of the stars and full rage of the stripes. i don't know how many people he killed but he's the result of ares and hades having a baby.
Ares was really weak in greek mythology
@@pedrolmlkzk you mean Mars. That's what Romane called him after copy pasting Ares from Greeks. And yes, Teddy Roosevelt is child of Hades and Area
@@pavelaubrecht1761 Mars is a deity that far predates the contact of Rome and Greece, the Romans just had the custom of saying all foreign gods were the same as their own but under another name, the greek interpretation is just the most famous one
@@pedrolmlkzk thanks for correcting me AND telling me something I didn't know about. No really, I didn't knew of that. I went just by general knolege I know.
@@pavelaubrecht1761 oh no, i thank you, i wouldn't have seen that i wrote roman instead of greek as i meant to
