And the shoe?
Sir you dodged it, remember?
Were you okay from that pelting shoe?
It is said that there was only a 1/49473938 chance of dodging BOTH of the shoes. You are lucky man, Bush.
@@ryanmcsharry9405 same likelyhood of Iraq having them WMDs. He is lucky to be alive!
HAHA
Imagine bringing 2 pistols, and still getting beat by a cane
i love this comment lmao
Jackson be like: you brought a gun to a cane fight
Sounds like Warzone to me
😂😴😂 I'm 😴😴
Dude read up on Andrew Jackson his story is insane. He had already been shot before in a duels and actually had a bullet inside his chest, he had been slashed by a British officer during the revolutionary war, the man was a damn nutjob
Teddy Rosevelt: *Litteraly gets shot*
Teddy:
-Oh no
-Anyway
Yeee
Like him or dislike him,....that is badazz!!
Man was a beast. One of my favourite presidents and I’m not even American.
Dudes a real man
Got shot because dude was talking to long. The speech was long enough to slow a bullet.
What about when George Bush was almost assassinated by a shoe
Shoe:*its super effective!!*
Haha
Or a pretzel, he almost died from choking on one his first term
its a good thing that the one guy yells president look out
OOF
Bullets were actually too scared to hit Andrew
Ya true
Andrew looked hot in the intro XD
Dominic Brunsmeier 420th like
Jackson was a mean sob and obviously very lucky!
Andrew Jackson could of survived since he was a god at duels
Teddy Roosevelt takes a bullet to the chest and he keeps talking. I stub my toe and I cry for 10 minutes.

@@grimalkit22 Lol
Theodore was the most badass president, a true leader, a mans man!

@@clonesolar jokes on you, I haven't played it in months.
Reagan had the closest call ever. It's actually pretty miraculous that he survived.
Dangit
Closer than the shot to Lincoln’s hat?
@@sarahewson3607 Yes, because Lincoln didn't get shot that time. Only reason Reagan survived is because he was shot with a .22 caliber bullet. If Hinkley had used a 9mm or larger Reagan would have died that day.
Bush just dodged a shoe check your facts
@@sittinggolem4729 😕
I love that first one. He gets attacked with a gun, but instead of running or taking cover, he proceeds to beat the attacker with his cane? 'Attempting to assassinate me? That's a paddling!'
Illiminatie overlord Gurglekoks did you know that, his bodyguards actually had to separate Jackson from the assasin, or else Jackson would have killed him
Illiminatie overlord Gurglekoks lol Simpsons reference
Illiminatie overlord Gurglekoks Jackson is my ancestor in real life
Illiminatie overlord Gurglekoks that’s just the normal Andrew Jackson.Honestly most badass president ever.Litterly had a giant party in the white house where anybody could come and I think he got in a bad bar fight there
Illiminatie overlord Gurglekoks Andrew Jackson was a tough badass so I’m not surprised
teddy roosovelt offical badass
How many leaders can say that they survived a bullet to the chest during 1912 and still gave a 50 page speech with the wound.
Raul Gonzalez: Hentai Hunter shadman
Guys
I’ve researched teddy being related to the Roosevelt’s have looked into them a lot and yes I can say he is a badass
Never mess with him. Amen.
"An Enraged Jackson closed in on his attacker"
"And punished him severely"
lmfaooo underrated comment
Underrated AF!!!
Oversimplified reference?
From what I've read, some people there actually thought Jackson was going to kill Lawrence because of how violently he was beating him. Jackson could have become the only president to ever personally kill his would-be assassin.
@@snail5834 *yes*
The guy who tried to shoot Jackson learned an important lesson that day: never bring two guns to a cane fight
Noted*
That's what I said before I watched the video
Teddy Roosevelt and Andrew Jackson confirmed badasses.
Bush was more badass he dodged a shoe
Akat1997 well he killed the bank
@@Akat1997 Well he nearly killed the shooter by beating him with his cane so badly. He was also in cited to be in duels between 13 to over 100 . In one of these duels, he let his opponent go first and the bullet broke some of his ribs and was inches away from his heart. His opponent thought he missed because he barely flinched then Andrew proceeded to shoot, hitting his opponent square in the face, killing him. Not to mention, he was quoted saying "I have only two regrets, I didn't shoot Henry Clay and I didn't hang John C. Calhoun." So he regretted not killing enough people, such as John C. Calhoun, who was his vice president. Theres also so much more I didn't include so....
@@bananabob7167 durrr let me quote a cracked video I'm sure I'll sound so cool and smart
Neo-Filthy Frank all due respect none of what Banana said was in that video.
2:07: You forgot the fact, that Tim McCarthy, a secret service agent took a bullet for Reagan.
Lets honor the heroes.
The cops on the street get forgotten, and the pencil- pushing bureaucrats are the ones that get the Glory, but are immune from prosecution for the crackpot policy decisions they make, when people die.
You could see Reagans face go from smiles and happy to instant serious face
While I get your point, saving Reagan was a HUGE mistake. His distaste of homosexuality fueled the AIDS crisis, his contempt for the worker led him to destroy American unions, and THAT led to the end of the Middle Class and began the binary, death-before-loss-of-profit GOP we have to execute today. Failure to kill ALL anti-science camp followers means failure of the ecosystem, and the end of mammals. And yes, Trumpie, YOU are a mammal. I realize you did not know.
@@thesoundsmith This is not about protecting Reagan as an individual, but instead of the office which he holds. I can respect your view with his politics, but i will never respect or understand how you are able to say that a saving a man's life was a mistake. Saying such things will only make people distance themselves from you, and your polical views. This also doesen't have anything to do with Donald Trump. I have tremendous respect for Ronald Reagan, as he is one of the people responsible for stopping the soviet invasion of my country, everything else i cannot comment on, as i have not educated myself enough on the topic, that i want to share an opinion, but i do far from agree with trump and his isolatism, and i'm quite sure that alot of Republicans from Reagan's time, also doesent support Trump.

@@anonymousanonymous6559 no you work here 24 hours no breaks
Don’t you love money Mr. Krabs?
The funny part is that Jackson was notorious for gun fights.
Yeah, it's because he brought a cane and not a sword
Theodore Roosevelt. What....a.....BADASS. Same goes for Jackson
Michael Jackson that is!
When Andrew Jackson is president, the secret service doesn't protect him. He protects the secret service.
Ethpling lolll, all of the Chuck Norris jokes are definitely more appropriate to be labelled under Andrew Jackson. Maybe something to the effect of Andrew Jackson signing an autograph for Chuck Norris...
Omg im at Roosevelt hotel in USA right now
@@RobertGenito What Chuck Norris it should be
_ZLATAN_
Andrew Jackson confirmed for badass
HighLevi More like Teddy Roosevelt who kept giving a speech as if nothing happened.
HighLevi Back when US presidents were badass
+Jewmeat01 Hell yeah.
Why am i here?
Search the Battle of Horshoebend. He was the general in that conflict. It occurred close to where I live. The U.S. beat the Indians. It's really fascinating if you pay attention to the documentary about it. The Tallapoosa River (The bend where the conflicts occurred) was red because so many men, women, and children were killed. The U.S. soldiers attacked the Indian villages a lot. They used big wooden walls to get cover behind them, they climbed over the walls to the enemies to kill them, and they shot through them. To retreat to safety, Indians swam, or rode across the river in a boat. But Jackson had his soldiers hiding in the woods, Jackson and his soldiers killed Indians trying to flee. So that's basically what I remember about the war.
One thing to note about killing Andrew Jackson:
You cant kill him.
God nuked me with deadly diseases and I still survived.
Death: Your time has come.
Teddy Roosevelt: nah fam I'm good
Death: Understandable have a nice day.
probarbly every one agrees with me if i say the most badass presidents are
1) Teddy Roosevelt
2) Andrew Jackson
+Peter Amos Although Jackson was a badass it doesn't make him him a good president
+croja07 Yeah he was. At least until the Indian Removal Act and going directly against congress's orders. He should've been impeached but he wasn't because he was popular.
+croja07 yeah he was, he was against the ideals of banks running america and was strongly opposed to the ideal of the federal reserve... he is one of the few greats
I really dislike Jackson as a president. He was great War General but a terrible president. Only thing I could really agree on with him is The Nullification Crisis.
Peter Amos kinda bad president (very authoritarian) but def badass
Roosevelt: is shot
Also Roosevelt: *nah*
FDR or teddy
@@mrrottenmerican6769 Teddy duh
@@Antizoophiles wooosh

Seriously though, the fact that he kept going with his speech after being shot is just incredible. A true Chad indeed.

+excidedous They weren't neighbours, what? Or do you mean in a broader sense? The other son was 'dating' & having dinner there that night.
+DJ במבה He did not say that. It's bad enough that what happened is officially misrepresented just enough so no-one looks incompetent or not stupid.
Lmao he wanted to impress an actress who probably doesn’t even know him
Well, after that she knew him.
Even stranger, he had her phone number and called her all the time. She wasn't quite as famous then as she is now.
Teddy: OUCH
Also Teddy: so yesterday...
You missed the attempt by two Puerto Rican nationals on Harry Truman at the Blair house.

I can not believe they omitted the two attempts on Gerald Ford.
Barbi Bimbo and an attempt on Carter.
Leslie Lynch King Jr was a forgettable guy
and Harry Truman.
Also Clinton had I think 3 or 4 attempts
@@K.C.-Games Hillary threw a vase at Bill, does that count?
You know what they say...
“Dont ring 2 pistols to a cane fight”

>Is attacked by would-be assassin
>Proceeds to beat attacker with cane
For Andrew Jackson the bullets were scared of him just like everyone else was.
President Jackson to the assasin:Im not even scared just dissapointed
It’s such a shame to see someone become disabled trying to protect someone else. May God bless him and have no one experience such a sad event. ):
yeah, you go Andrew
Andrew was a horrible person. He beat his slaves when he was president
He tried to dismantle the banking cartel that now enslaves us all...
He hated blacks. He put up newspaper ads in the north for one of his runaway slaves to be returned for $50. Then promised $10 extra for every 10 lashes they did to him, up to 300.
He gave the common (white) man land by breaking laws and treaties and committing genocide, just to be elected.
He was a murderer. He was found not guilty of murder by his father in law, as the judge.
On the last day of the presidency, Jackson admitted that he had but two regrets, that he "had been unable to shoot Henry Clay or to hang John C. Calhoun."
You would know, if you'd studied Am. history, that for a good portion of history, Farmers and the common man wanted to go onto the Silver standard for money. Why? Because "we have lots of silver in mines, it makes more currency and therefore more wealth!" Not realizing that this was inflation.
Also Polk

Both serious badasses.
Ronald Reagan once said during a speech “missed me” when a ballon popped in the audience what a badass
These attempts on the lives of presidents came dangerously close to succeeding.

Tricia Methner letting the guns shoot bullets
You forgot about the time that the arab guy threw a shoe at George W Bush.
Moral of the story, Presidents should write VERY long speeches, and print them! And keep them close to your chest.
Short and to the point. Thank you.
Also when Reagan thought a sniper shot him when’s balloon popped
Then he said “Oh Missed Me”
I'm surprised that they also omitted the TWO attempts on Gerald Ford, one by Squeaky Fromme (sp?) and then by Sarah Jane Moore, a week or so apart.
+James Vaught I seem to recall reading about one of those attempts (squeaky's, perhaps?) where she threw a lightbulb at Ford
+Danny Milligan: As I recall, both attempts (Squeaky's and Sarah's) were by handgun. I seem to remember that one of them got off a shot, but a bystander deflected her arm as she was pointing the gun and the shot went up in the air. I don't remember which one that was however.
James Vaught - It was the Sarah Jane Moore attempt in San Francisco. Squeaky was subdued before she could even get a shot off. Moore was released from prison in 2007 for "good behavior". Also, because Ford had died in 2006.
“Here’s a goodbye kiss”- Man who threw his shoes at George Bush
You left out the 2 tries at Gerald Ford.
Fact check: Teddy Roosevelt was a Republican who did not get the nomination after his term so he ran on an independent ticket

Another interesting side note: among the close friends and admirers of Richard Lawrence (the Jackson assailant) was a Man called Junius Brutus Booth, the eventual father of John Wilkes.
Teddy Roosevelt did things an ordinary man would find nuts. Stories of going into jungles for weeks, continue speeches after being shot, leading a cavalry in Cuba etc. Top it off with being a President of a nation on his resume.

School shooting after school shooting: “hopes and prayers”
Shoot a political aid: “We need immediate background checks!”
The Brady bill is the worst legislation that are governments has ever past. shall not infringe doesn’t mean unless you shoot a president. It’s the price of freedom you’re either a serf or a citizen you can’t be a little bit of either
Brady bill was before school shooting as a means of suicide became part of the culture.
Kinda shows how gun laws work.
If the govt were to strictly regulate forks, what impact would that have on obesity?

The commentary is insanely good
Must have been an awkward situation when your gun just clicks and the president is looking at you with the face: *Dude*
*Bullet hits President Theodore Roosevelt chest*
Theodore Roosevelt:
aww, anyway where was i? Oh yeah *begin to give 90 minute long speech*
i literally lost my mind laughing when I heard there was an assassination attempt on ronnie regan just to impress Jodi Foster. Like yeah, I've done somethings to try to impress a romantic love interest, but not go so far as to assassinate the POTUS
1:29 must be amongst the greatest president speeches in history.
very informative
u missed 2.. there were 2 attempt on FORD
"You tried to shot me but it misfired? Yea, you need some corpal punishment"
-Andrew Jackson
80% of the comments are about Jackson and his cane ...
The 2 most Bada*s presidents (With reasons why.):
1. Teddy Roosevelt (Reason: He gave a 90 Minute Speech with a Bloody Chest.)
2. Andrew Jackson (Reason: He beat his Assassin with a Cane after 2 Guns BOTH Misfired.)
0:57 I contest that odds of 1 in 125000 of the pistols misfiring is nonsense. This must asume that both pistols are in full working order, correctly loaded, have good powder, and were operated correctly. None of those things are guarenteed. If the pistols were both loaded with the same substanded powder, the odds of them both failing are 100%.
Gerald ford also had an assasination attempt,suprised you didnt mentioned it
Dominic Yeah Charles Manson I think
2 attempts against Ford in one week.
Damn your transitions were so fast I thought we was still talking about Lincoln 😂
Siskel & Ebert were shot in Ford's Theatre right after Lincoln was.
