Oldest Known Recording of a US President

[sam94433]

cool!!!!!!

[J0nnyCArr]

is this the president the pawn star guys are ment to be related to

[VideoLabEnterprise]

@J0nnyCArr I'm not sure but I am related on my mother side.

[J0nnyCArr]

@VideoLabEnterprise I've seen on a few episodes they say there nan told them this president is related to rick Harrison and Corey Harrison. u never know u mite be related to them to lol

[VideoLabEnterprise]

@J0nnyCArr That would be neat. It is truly a small world.

[kershaw95beast]

this was etched in stone

[Kalkas53]

this is the oldest known recording of a US president but there is believed to be a recording of president Rutherford B Hayes,

but no one has found such a recording

[racetoinfinity]

The 19th century diction is funny, unless he was trying to enunciate for the newfangled recording cylinder.

[nomargfan661]

@racetoinfinity That's how people of the higher class spoke (generally) over much of the 1800s-early 1900s. Listen to Theodore Roosevelt's recording and you'll see some similarities. I'm sure there are other recordings of Presidents besides these two with that added "vibrato", though.

[soldierman1776]

its not fake. at the end he sais benjamin.. harr.. and it cuts off

[glueforall]

Benjamin Harrison does a pretty good Katherine Hepburn!

[racetoinfinity]

@glueforall lol

[guyNbluejeans]

Amazing.

[JL3Wind]

Interesting to hear! Thanks for the upload :)

[giobbistar21]

@walmartgoof. It's a joke. Of course I know audio was shitty back then.

[kailuagirl87]

So they were promising peace and prosperity even back then. Its taking a long ass time to get here!!

[VideoLabEnterprise]

Thank you everybody for the cool views. You rock!

[VideoLabEnterprise]

He predates Roosevelt. He has to be older. Hello!

[HNK222]

@VideoLabEnterprise

JFK was president 20 years before Ronald Reagan, yet JFK was 6 years YOUNGER than Reagan.

Being president before another president (even with 2 decades seperating them) doesn't necessarily mean you're older.

[VideoLabEnterprise]

@HNK222 That part would make sense but Benjimin Harrison died before Roosevelt was president so that would put a major dent in your theory..

[LimeZYX]

Why did he deliver this in the presence of galloping horses? Go to a quiet room next time.

[VideoLabEnterprise]

@LimeZYX It was cheaper for him. It only cost him 48 cents instead of 52 cents. 4 cents could supply a family of 4 for 6 months.

[IAMPontiusPilate]

He must at Orville Redenbacher's house.

[JustGod7]

@IAMPontiusPilate LMFAO!!!

[sallymaggiespotty]

You are ALL wrong .The first was Teddy Roosevelt.

[VideoLabEnterprise]

@sallymaggiespotty He predates Roosevelt. He has to be older. Hello!

[VideoLabEnterprise]

@sallymaggiespotty Yes...Teddy Roosevelt had a time machine that was earlier than a president before him. ROFL.

[BoboGumdrop]

@sallymaggiespotty You are wrong. So wrong in fact, you should be shot.

[geoffolehane]

@sallymaggiespotty Benj. Harrison died in March 1901 so it would have had to have been recorded before then.

[VideoLabEnterprise]

@geoffolehane I agree with you but most people today can not understand common sense. They are so backwards, they would believe Abraham Lincoln was before George Washington if their teacher at school told them so, and they would never check the facts.

[s9729883a]

Why the hell is Hitler in the featured videos?

[pfizzbones]

@s9729883a Well, this is YouTube, owned by Google, and they continue to push and promote their socialist views on us. The young ones that own them probably think they will be ones of the elite that would survive a takeover, without any consequences.

[Kelthuzad126]

Dear lord he said with "Gods help" I think my head might explode. XD

[jadenkam1]

dude the oldest prestident of us recording iss of abe lincon gettysburg adress

[GtfOutGaming]

@jadenkam1

Keyboards are so hard.

[VideoLabEnterprise]

@jadenkam1 Cute, you are joking I hope. Google it and you will know that Benjamin Harrison was the first recorded president of USA.

[dadsoldtapes]

@VideoLabEnterprise I actually read in a CNN article that Rutherford B. Hayes was the first to be recorded... not sure where he got that information from.

[wpayton342]

@VideoLabEnterprise actually Rutherford B. Hayes was the first president to have his voice recorded, but no recording of Hayes still exists today.

[depant77]

@jadenkam1 So Edison was about 10 when he cultivated recording technology?

So that's what homeschooling does to the kids.

[travisnealtodd70]

YO, THAT'S MY JAM!

[cooled321]

they were riding on horses

[JR1070]

I swear i heard this in my rice krispies the other day...

[odog65]

@JR1070 lol that how I'm communicated through for my next assignment in my mission from stopping Kim Kardashians Cousin's friend.. shit my notes but anyways it's one someone connected to the Kardashians who's hiding in Hazard running starbucks in Neb where he's repacking some of his coffee shipments with an acid/extascy mix then sending them out amongst the starbucks oh crap I'm hearing Mistletoe by Justin Bieber a dashian agent is near gotta go before I get killed

[toddsmitts]

Harrison was the grandson of a president (William Henry Harrison) and one of only two 19th century presidents, besides the incumbent William McKinley, who lived to see the 20th century (the other was Grover Cleveland), though Harrison didn't see much of it as he died on March 13, 1901. By contrast, five 20th century presidents, besides then-incumbent Bush, lived into the 21st century: Ford, Carter, Reagan (albeit with Alzheimer's), George H.W. Bush, and Clinton.

[giobbistar21]

@kyleholtytp12 my sarcasm outranks yours.

[MasacruRo]

epic

[gamecocksrule2001]

cool

[avdreader1]

I Love historical recordings.

[giobbistar21]

What did they record this with, a wheel of wax?

[Caleb5617]

@giobbistar21 A potato.

[kyleholtytp12]

@giobbistar21 Actually, yes.

[giobbistar21]

@kyleholtytp12 It's a joke.

[kyleholtytp12]

@giobbistar21 I know, 'cause the video says it itself. It was just my sarcasm.

[VideoLabEnterprise]

@giobbistar21 Yes, actually it was more of a tube.

[RandomOneOhOne]

@giobbistar21 yea... they did

[jfs78]

I would guess it to be around 1900. When he was the head of the Pan American Congress again. He died in 1901 and it would make sense to make such a recording then. Thank you for posting this.

[ScooterpupReljac]

Who could actually ever think that Lincoln was recorded..........geez, sound recording equipment did not exist then

[ClassicHorrorDB]

@ScooterpupReljac the first sound recording was made in 1860 so technically it could've been possible.

[DisturbedChild33]

Actually, I think it was Abraham Lincoln. They were just able to listen to his recording though.

[ClassicHorrorDB]

@DisturbedChild33 that was just a hoax, there is no recording of Abraham Lincoln

[DisturbedChild33]

@ClassicHorrorDB Oh.

[Serjical1]

@DisturbedChild33 Lincoln died in 1865.

[mazakman1957]

Thanks for posting this!

Good job!

[MrVigilanteman]

Merely a mediocre president who now looks great compared to the narcissist in office now . . .

[TLK013]

This guy cut his kids out of his own will. Bastard.

[CGJUGO80]

@TLK013 did he really
