1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,240
Speaker 1: What do you get when you combine politics, a bunch

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:04,760
Speaker 1: of dead birds, too much whiskey, and a guy who

3
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 1: literally talked himself to death. Yes, inauguration Day in this country.

4
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: Today is inauguration Day, and today's the day that Joe

5
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: Them's fighting words Biden gets sworn in as president of

6
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 1: the United States of America. Some people are happy about that,

7
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:24,119
Speaker 1: some people are really angry about that. Some people aren't

8
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 1: even hearing my voice right now because they've already moved

9
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: to Canada. Anyway, there are a lot of traditions when

10
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: it comes to inauguration Day, and one of those is

11
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: a very long standing tradition in America that we have

12
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 1: of royally screwing things up. That's why right now we're

13
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: going to go over some of the biggest fails in

14
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 1: inauguration day history. Should be fun, Yes, it will be. Well,

15
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,839
Speaker 1: let's start with the first biggest fail in inauguration day history.

16
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: It's the most famous or infamous vice presidential inauguration address,

17
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: and it was Andrew Johnson's in eighteen sixty five. You guys,

18
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: remember that what happened. Jubil was alive. I was there,

19
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: Andrew Johnson, I guess wasn't filling well on inauguration Day

20
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: back in eighteen sixty five, and medicine back then was

21
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: a lot different, you know. Somebody suggested that he drink

22
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 1: some whiskey to take care of whatever he was feeling. Like.

23
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 1: He shown sick by the time he made his speech.

24
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:17,279
Speaker 1: He was so drunk that he was rambling incoherently, probably

25
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: talking about his egg. Yeah, nobody could understand what he

26
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: was saying during his speech, and it was incredibly embarrassing.

27
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 1: I guess was embarrassing. That's amazing, that's amazing, you know.

28
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: And they just chalked it up to him being drunk,

29
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: like they didn't do what they do now in politics

30
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: and be like, well, he had not enough rest and

31
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: he was you know, he's because he was out there

32
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: working so hard for the American public, had too much whiskey,

33
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 1: he was drunk. Move on another one of the biggest

34
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: Inauguration Day fails ever, Ulysses S. Grants eighteen seventy three

35
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: inaugural ball ball. Yes, in eighteen seventy three at Grant's

36
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: inaugural ball. That's a fun word to say, inaugural ball. Well,

37
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: it was bitter cold that night and someone forgot to

38
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: heat the place, so the food was too cold, and

39
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: everybody was bumping into each other. Ficture that just everybody

40
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 1: bumping into each other on a dance floor because they

41
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: were all wearing long overcoats and tripping all over the place.

42
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: But the saddest thing of all was that someone got

43
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: the idea of having canaries merrily chirp away for all

44
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,119
Speaker 1: the guests. It was so cold that all the canaries

45
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: that they brought in for this thing ended up dying

46
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: at the inaugural ball. So just a bunch of dead birds. Also,

47
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 1: there's another story coming up of the biggest inauguration day

48
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: fails in this country that also involves dead birds. So

49
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 1: maybe dead birds is a big standing thing. This is

50
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: one of my favorite inauguration day fails though. Okay, so

51
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 1: if anybody ever asked you, like, who served the shortest

52
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: term in office as president, it's this guy. He is

53
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: my favorite president. His name is William Henry Harrison. Okay, okay.

54
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 1: He delivered the longest inaugural address in history. It was

55
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: about ten thousand words, nearly two hours long. To put

56
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: it in perspective, usually you know they're twenty minutes. Maybe

57
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 1: George Washington's inaugural address was literally one hundred and thirty

58
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: five words, as he was up on president now by

59
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: basically yea. But this guy, William Henry Harrison delivered a

60
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: ten thousand word inaugural address. Think he was god apparently

61
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: because it also was so cold outside when he delivered

62
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: that two hour address, and he refused to wear a

63
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 1: jacket because he wanted, yes, he wanted to prove how

64
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: tough he was, so he stood out there for two

65
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: hours delivering this huge speech with no jacket of oh

66
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: yeah he was anyway. Because of that, he got a

67
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,119
Speaker 1: pneumonia and a month later died. No, so he wasn't

68
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: peached from life. Yeah, so he only served a month

69
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: in office because and who knows how long he would

70
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: have got. He could have been the greatest president. And

71
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: he's my favorite president just because the st but not

72
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: many people have. That's because he only served as president

73
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: for one month because he gave himself pneumonia and died.

74
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: And another inauguration day fail that will go down in

75
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: history is nineteen seventy three Richard Nixon. I've headed that guy,

76
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: Richard Nixon. Yeah, he's like, oh, I know that one.

77
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: Richard Nixon had a landslide victory in nineteen seventy two

78
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: for his reelection campaign, so his intent was to make

79
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: his inauguration a huge success right. According to The Washington Post,

80
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:23,799
Speaker 1: at Nixon's request, the inaugural Committee spent thirteen thousand dollars

81
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 1: to smear roost no more a chemical bird repellent on

82
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: tree branches along the parade route so there wouldn't be

83
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: a bunch of trees pooping on the people that were

84
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: on the parade route. Only it wasn't a repellent, it

85
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: actually killed the birds, So the streets for his inauguration

86
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: parade were lined with dead birds that would look like doomsday. Yeah,

87
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 1: you think people are scared now the president and imagine

88
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 1: they're having their parade and just all along as his

89
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 1: dead animals to be like, yeah, weird it like it

90
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: comes Stan screwed? Are your phone? Prank is coming up

91
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 1: at nine twenty. It's a jewel show.
