1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,520
Speaker 1: So they used to be a symbol of masculinity and

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: bravatas in the nineteenth century, but by the twentieth century,

3
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:10,239
Speaker 1: the clean shaven look had taken over, especially in the

4
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 1: political world. It kind of became the political norm. But

5
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: now we're trending back to the beard, and Saturday Night

6
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 1: Live this past weekend took note of it in their

7
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: cold open. One of the things they did was talk

8
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 1: about jd Vance having a beard.

9
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 2: They also called him gay.

10
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 3: You know, if that I win in twenty twenty eight,

11
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 3: I would be the first president in one hundred years

12
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 3: to have a beard.

13
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 2: Wow.

14
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 1: And speaking of your beard, how's your wife Usha?

15
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 3: Very good, sir, I'm insinuating you gay?

16
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: Okay, So only five presidents have worn full beards, and

17
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: it's been over a century since the last one. So

18
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: I thought it might be fun to review the five

19
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: bearded presidents.

20
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 3: Great beards in presidential history. I'm for it. Let's go

21
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 3: out what you got because Jade.

22
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: Vance is bringing back the beard in the political world.

23
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: So you've got the probably most famous one, Abraham Lincoln.

24
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 3: Oh classic, the classic Lincoln beard, which for a lot

25
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 3: of time did not include the mustache. Yeah, that was

26
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,279
Speaker 3: a bold fashioned choice to just do the chin strap

27
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 3: straight from the sideburns, right along the chin and back

28
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 3: up to the other shide of.

29
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 2: His upper lip.

30
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: Of course, he was the first bearded president, and that

31
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: was influenced by an eleven year old girl who told

32
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: him maybe he should grow the beard.

33
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 3: Well, she didn't think that he looked old enough to

34
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 3: be president or something, or hey, is that really a

35
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 3: compliment when an eleven year old says, hey, you're too

36
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 3: ugly the way you are. Maybe fa babe, grow a

37
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 3: beard and cover some of that stuff up.

38
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: You also have Grant, who had a beard known for

39
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: a oh they called it a wild Civil War beard.

40
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 3: He had a like Duck dynasty style beard.

41
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 2: Probably smelled like cigar too.

42
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 3: Cigar and whiskey, based on what we've heard of Grant's.

43
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: He later trimmed it and he had a It was

44
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: a red beard, and he had a matching mustache as well.

45
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 2: Ruther V. B. Hayes had the longest beard of any president.

46
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 2: And then you had James Garfield.

47
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: He had a beard and it was described as black

48
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: with gray streaks in it. And of course he didn't

49
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: have it for very long as president because he was not.

50
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 3: Pregnate, assassinated very early into his very soon after inauguration.

51
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: And the last president to have a beard was Benjamin

52
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: Harrison and he wore it throughout his entire four year term.

53
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 3: Now, my favorite presidential facial hair, and you may not

54
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 3: be very familiar with this president, but you definitely need

55
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 3: to google him.

56
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 2: And it was to say, Martin van Buren.

57
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 3: I'm not although it.

58
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 2: Was good Martin chops.

59
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,399
Speaker 3: Martin van Buren had mutton chops that would make Tom

60
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 3: Petty jealous. Those things were huge. No, I'm talking about

61
00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 3: and this isn't a beard, but Chester Arthur. The sideburns

62
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 3: that go down straight into the mustache, across and up

63
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 3: the other sideburn but no chin beard.

64
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 2: So he had a mustache and mutton chops right.

65
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 3: But they grew, they like all grown together. It was

66
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 3: mutton chops straight into the mustache, but nothing on the chin.

67
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 3: The most bizarre looking presidential facial hair ever, Chester Arthur.

68
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 3: Google him and look up a picture right now. Insane.

69
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 3: And I would love to see somebody brave enough to

70
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 3: move to you know, bring that move back.

71
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 2: Hey, did you shave this weekend? No?

72
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 3: I never shaved. I've always I've always looked like I've

73
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 3: got like a three day, four day stubble going and

74
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 3: that's the way I like to keep it. And uh,

75
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 3: and that's what I've got right now. No, I didn't

76
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 3: shave it.

77
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 2: I thought that was just because you were, you know,

78
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 2: snowed in. That was part of it. But that was

79
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 2: a that was a decision you made.

80
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 3: That was a conscious decision to not do something this weekend.

81
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 3: Something I did a lot. I made a conscious decision

82
00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 3: to not do a lot.

83
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 2: We did a lot of offen
