"Historic impact" of the car..."Blew my mind" some of the best puns ever when talking about JFK (granted, with all due respect).
HNX Media
I came to the comment section to say “Blew my mind” maybe wasn’t the best choice of words, but you beat me to it. I laughed so hard when he said that...and then felt guilty for laughing so hard.
Whoops
I thought your coverage of this event was very human and very real. Well done!
Thank you for showing me things I will never get to see for myself!
They say riding a bike is a lot like riding a bike.
I was a young child when the news of JFK's assassination came on the BBC radio. I was shocked to see my mum shed a tear & scared as I didn't understand. England mourned for all our American friends & for ourselves. How might the world be different if he had lived? Great film, Jacob. Mrs JM 😕
John Meiris At least you got to see the premiere of Doctor Who that weekend. JFK was the last US President for whom the media completely “looked the other way”. The first JFK conspiracy film, “Executive Action”, which came out about ten years after the assassination, even had a scene where the fictional conspirators claimed they had no embarrassing information they could use to blackmail him. It wasn’t until later that the details of Kennedy’s philandering, the true state of his health and the meds he was on, and his father’s dealings with the Mafia were exposed. This is a point missed by conspiracy buffs: the fact that it would have been far simpler to maintain a live puppet than to create a martyr, especially if you consider the long list of mysterious deaths supposedly linked to the assassination.
my aunt was very close friends to Jackie and friends with JFK. Jackie spent a lot of time at their vacation home while first lady and was over my aunts house a lot.
JFK was a whistle blower and caused his murder by our government.
if true... first time I heard of other Presidents using the same car he was murdered in... and to me is obvious why. do not whistle blow or else this is the consequence!!!
I knew of a militant whistle blower and refused to follow exact orders. they sent him up in a plane along with other militants chained up the the planes walls and beaten to near death that they better stfu or else dead next time... and he said the plane just flew in a circle in sky.
I rented from him for 1 month and I believe he was hiding... said put property in his brothers name. I had a bad incident with a neighbor and I called the police and he immediately fled in his car. I was like screw this.. so I rented a car to find an apt out of state where I had already considered.. got a place in 2 weeks... came back.. he was still gone!!! I had to alert police I was back because neighbors he also rented to got violent. by miracle I found a moving company to help me pack a uhaul. college was near by and all were booked.
if you work for the gov you sold your soul exactly as to Satan. must follow orders even if its wrong to do. and don't tell anyone.
years before when Bush announced war on afganastan on live TV .. about 2 hours later a couple active people in the navy walked the streets informing hundreds this war is to only steal oil... unlike what Bush told us. they were so pissed off they are about to be forced to murder innocent people
President Kennedy is the last honest and decent one .. if not the only one America ever has had or will have.
@@neeneec5394 I know this is 2 years old but you are spot on.
Jacob, it was cool hanging with you. You're a genuine dude. It was an honor to be in one of the first vlogs in the next chapter in your life and your CZcams journey.
I keep seeing you in videos ive yet to meet the carpetbagger ,also spoke to you in live chat
Thanks for coming out man
You can't forget, it's like riding a...bike?
$9...sounds like Dan Bell and ADR crew need to look in to that place!!!
Tim Williams haha. I was thinking about Dan Bell too.
THANK YOU!!!!! Have a fun road trip......love this topic. 👍🏻👍🏻😊😊‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
Being a marine during the same time as oswald: Oswald had qualified as a Sharpshooter, in Boot Camp. A Later qualification , he qualified as a Marksman. The minimum Score for Makrsman was 190, Sharpshooter 210, Expert 220. For instance at 500 yards, IcConsistantly fired a perfect score with the M1, 250. At standing I was always in the 190 range. The Fatak shot on Kennedy was a distance of 88.5 yrds. Any Marine could have made the shot! There are estimates of the time it would take; generally accepted is 4.5 to 5.5 seconds. The initial shot is locked and loaded prior to the approach to target area: A peice of cake. The carcano was considered a peice of junk by many due to the low cost. Actually it was a well designed, competant weapon. The surplus Italian ammo was variable in quality. The projectiles would often tumble. It was, I believe, one of these that made the head shot. There was but one assasin and his name was Oswald. Did others know it was going to happen? Absolutely!!!! However, I believe Oswald, couldn't have been convicted. The Secret service took charge of the body under the trhreat of machine guns. Autospsy was performed by Naval Doctors untrained in that discipline, it was done in Bethesda, Md.
The chain of evidence had gaps 2,000 mile wide!

I’ve read and watched everything I can get my hands on about the Kennedy’s and the assassination. For argument sakes, let’s say Oswald was the/a gunman. He most certainly did not wake up that morning and decide he’d assassinate JFK that day. There were many people who wanted JFK out of the way, and many players involved in the assassination. You could say I have family that had personal dealings with someone of the players that were involved, including one that ended up murdered shortly after the JFK assassination.
I honestly don’t know if Oswald would have been acquitted if he had made it to trial. People were much more trusting of the government back then. I didn’t think there was any way in hell OJ would have ever been found not guilty, so sometimes it’s really difficult to predict what jurors will do.
Idiot? What an amazing self analysis you have made. Also; an M1 is not a carcano. No shit! At 100 yards the results of a capable shooter using an M1 or a carcano, the impact point of the bullet would be indistingusihable. Digress for the moment: as stated above, the Surplus Italian ammo available at the time for the carcano was the type with the rounded nose. They would often tumble and even strike the target side firs. Such a round would account for the massive destruction of kennedy's head! What a juvenile, obnoxious ass you are. Grow a brain and come back in 10 years.
Jane. I appreciate your viewpoint. I had a marine Experience Parallel to Oswald. Including early marriage and children. oswald habsolutely had financial help from someone. there are very many questions about the assasination. you could start the inquiry with Oswald getting the job at the right place at the right time.
It was only about an 80 yard shot with a scope. He missed and hit the curb on his first shot. The second shot hit the neck. The third was the kill shot.
I was always baffled by conspiracy theorists describing the Carcano as a total piece of junk weapon, wasn't it the Italian armies rifle of choice for, like 60 years?
Right on, Jacob, your Dad was right! 260 foot shot on a car going 8 mph - you could almost do it with a pistol! Easy shot for any trained Marine. So much hype adopted by those who never fired a rifle. Good take on a sad bit of history.
fanof runbot I’ve hit targets that small at that distance without a scope.
Except that no one, including expert sharp shooters, have shot three times (shots heard) in the correct time span. Oswald was no expert, and his rifle was flawed. One of thousands of anomolies surrounding the assassination.

Congrats...you are doing it. !
I'll watch every video you put out for now on
:)
Good choice. I lived in the Candlewood in Henrico, VA, for a month while attending truck driving school.
Havea safe trip my friend. I remember that day just as if it were yesterday. Sad, sad day.
Keep it going. I'm no one you will ever meet but I am happier hearing your story and decision to hold you principles and leave your job. Good for you!
“It just blew my mind” nice one
As the Woo is settling down the Carpetbagger is cranking up. It will be great to have some new content to watch! Safe travels!
I was a little kid when Kennedy was shot. All I remember was being upset that the funeral on TV preempted Captain Kangaroo and another local kiddie show I always watched.
So glad u were in my neck of the woods!!!
Great video, I was born on that day. 😢
Have a fun, safe journey!
Thank you carpetbagger keep it up
I love your mutton chops very 19th century

Great video. I remember the JFK assasination. I live in Canada and they closed the school and sent us home. Saw it on tv when they announced he had died. Thanks for the tour. Safe travels. Keep Well❤Keep Safe❤
Looking forward to “Carpetbaggers Big Adventure “ in the days ahead. Great Start ! ! !
I totally agree with your opinion on violence...you do important work Jacob with your channel... Thanks 😁
Great post, Stay safe out there !
Hey jacob love your videos. Keep up the good work
One of the most interesting topics! Your videos are awesome!
Ten people disliked because you are still going! Congrats.
Maybe I'm one of a dying breed, but I'm thrilled whenever you show a Pokestop or a Gym
Jacob - best of luck as a full time Content Creator. We're with you all the way!
:)
That's awesome have a great and self trip and love seeing yu
Looking good ole friend. Keep up the video work with interesting features. Still ticked off about your former employer........
Loving the new content, and the direction the channel is heading. Keep up the good work buddy!
Love the Savage Outro, DO IT!
Interesting story about your Dad changing his mind. It's a very sad moment in history but I guess we will always be facinated by it. Drive safely on your trip,that's a lot of driving your doing Jacob and very tiring!
interesting tour.. Thank you...
JFK was shot on my Mom's birthday. Great video! Thanks for sharing and have fun!
Don’t forget to eat well and rest well. You don’t wanna get sick!
Enjoyed replay thanks
I was in 6th grade when Kennedy was shot. Then I saw live when Oswald was killed. So sad we lost Kennedy. Thanks for sharing Jacob.
My family lived in Washington DC at the time of the assassination. What a sad time it was. Everything was shut down and we didn't have school till after the funeral. The funeral was shown on TV. I can still remember how JFK's casket was placed in the Capitol Rotunda for the public to walk by and pay their final respects. People walked by around the clock paying their last respects.
"Assassination selfie." Heavy.
Jacob “that really blew my mind” whilst talking about well you know, and doesn’t even realize
TheCarpetbagger great video. Love the historic info. Wish I could join you as I am just an hours drive away from Dallas.
Loved the video. It was very interesting!!
Good video reminds me of the good old Adam the Woo Days
Very well done.THANK'S.
That lady took a selfie on the X! Lolol
I'm still laughing at the name Spaghetti Depository.
Thanks, Jacob ... During my corporate America working career, there were times when I was stuck with the cheap hotel. I slept in the beautifully upholstered vinyl chair and sped-off quickly in the morning. You got a great deal for $48.
AWESOME!!!👍🏻
Hello from Oklahoma!
Good video :)
Wow nice room!
July and August are the really hot months. January & February cold is easier to deal with than the summer heat. You can always add layers of clothing or a log on the fire in the winter but even if you're naked in the summer, you still can't find any relief from the heat.
No, that's not the sun sphere, that's the reunion tower, it's a restaurant! Hugs from Texas!
Basically the car was stripped down to the chassis and there is really nothing original on it. Supposedly it was cheaper to do that than it was to buy a new one. The official stance of the govt was that they didn't have the money to buy a new one. Anyone that has restored cars or even just had major car repairs would know that it's not really possible to have that happen. I'm not a conspiracy theorist but the car think makes no sense at all. Even if you accept that it was the same car why would they keep using it for other Presidents so long? I don't know. The whole thing was crazy!
RhettyforFun At that time the Lincoln was the worlds most expensive car.
Have fun
Nice hair cut Jacob
You should go to Montgomery alabama and see the hank Williams stuff like his grave, the hank Williams museum
Ann Arbor MI has those bike rentals. You can return them to any of the kiosks provided they have room for it.
Welcome to Texas!! It does get cold here. This topic is always so intriguing to me
Awesome videos! you really don't play around. great shots. im subbing now
At 4:49 in the video, that red brick spired building right over your left shoulder seems VERY interesting. I have seen it in both Adam's and now your videos on this location. Some sort of museum that should be very interesting.
👍🏻👍🏻 Great info and great job!
It was! :)
It's either really hot or really cold here. Never in between.
I'm a Kennedyphile, like your dad except I'm not recovering, lol. thank you for handling the subject matter with panache, grace and awareness to what was lost on that sunny November day. Hope you had a good nights sleep Chief.
you can get a few pokeballs while you're at it 😂😂😂😂😂
Jacob, I was in 1st grade when the principal of my school came to our classroom to give us the devastating news. We were then excused to go home since all remaining classes for the day were cancelled.
I ran home to find my grandmother crying while watching Walter Cronkite report that historic broadcast. One of the reasons my grandmother became a citizen was so she could vote for JFK.
I live like 30 min away from the Henry Ford museum and most children in the area go there and see the car as a field trip!
I go down to Dealey on the train. A few minutes from home. Too bad us 'Dallasites' missed you
Good Video!
TY JACOB...I TOTALLY AGREE...NO MATTER HOW MUCH U MIGHT NOT LIKE ANYONE..I WOULDNT WISH THT UPON NO ONE.....TY FOR THE VIDEO BUB
Hey we live on the border of Texas and New Mexico in Clovis if you want a free lunch or dinner. The wife and I love your Channel
:) I met him at the meet up in Seattle! Great guy! :) I am also on his vlog
You Tubers Against Dan Bell Specials ought to be a thing!
I want that Moldarama, wow!
Amen, brother. Great video! I also wholly agree with your view on the personal aspects of the Kennedy death. Seeing an act of death like that so close to someone so personal to you had to have been unimaginable to have to live with her whole life. On a lighter note, my parents eloped when they were in the military and got married at the courthouse right there at the plaza. They were stationed at Fort Hood in Texas. Seems like you had a great trip! Our family loves watching your adventures! Thank you for sharing them!
I really thought it was going to end up giving him the 9$ room in the end
I do!!! I was 11 years old. He was hit from the front. And the back. Sad day in our history. Thanks this was neat. Stay safe out there!!!
It's just like riding a bike! Give it a try!
Wow! The visuals on your vlog is fantastic ! Are you using different equipment? Loved this.
I was 18 yrs when Kennedy was shot. We all felt so bad...And then to see Oswald shot right on TV. Nothing was edited like it would be today. Crazy times back in '63. Something one never forgets. Yea, wonder if there was just one shooter...hm.
Cool
That's a really sweet room for the money! An actual kitchen?! In the UK you get a kettle at best 😜
Every year in elementary school we would go to the “JFK museum”, visit where he was assassinated, and then go eat lunch at the spaghetti warehouse. TEXAS GETS SO FRIGGIN COLD. There’s days we’re it can be 73 and then 23.
First - Gotta love Jacob - Great Video Jacob.....
:)
It was awesome but not too awesome. Hope you make it big!

Love that you still play Pokemon Go
I may be the only one
