Do you pay Wendover royalties?
and it was better explained
@@k_botadra I agree!
So people cant talk about the same subject?
Do you pay the other commenters royalties?
@@MisaloSloe mabye that's cause they're talking about a subject that's very specific?
imagine how much they can save on security if iron man was president
But he ded tho
@@Posimistic Damnn
Elvis Del Rio chillll yooooooo 💀
Elon already has so much of work.
@@Posimistic Too soon!
Just imagine having all that protection just to go get a McChicken from McDonald's
lol nah the president will just send someone else to do it
then the presidents dies of heart attack from eating the mcchicken
The dream
What I don’t get is why have an armored CONVERTIBLE?
Previous presidents have and without the full motorcade. Both Clinton and Obama would randomly show up at D.C fast food places.
Fun fact: the route is equipped with jammers that mess with your electronics. A person I knew was a medic on one of these motorcades and their phones were going haywire the entire time. Pretty fascinating stuff (and sounds very expensive!)
This was during Obama's presidency. I'd always expect the secret service to do their job to the best of their ability, no matter who the president is
@@michaelmagana284 I'm not a fan of Trump, but when you use emojis in you criticism you lose all credibility.
Ya....and my uncle is one of the bodyguards. Fun fact lol
I’ve never experienced that and I’m around them all the time now. I worked at the PHL airport until last December. I’d see the af1 for trump but most times they don’t even use it with Biden because he lives there. They just take that green plane & two beasts. Saw him flying down the runway one time. They never did that for trump lol. But I just directly behind Kamala last week. There’s a back roadway, the secret service just uses like the 4 black suvs & roll out to Delaware, but when Biden use to comes you’d only know because the state troopers would shut down 95 to Delaware for like an hour with no pre warning lol. They actually stopped him from landing in phl because of that, or they only use the 4 black cars and roll out to deleware undercover. The motorcades are only for planned events. You can see either one of them here Anyday honestly, but they only roll deep for events. For events phl police-de troopers-pa troopers-other city police- county police-sheriffs- swat. If they’re just going to bidens house in de. There’s only like 4-5 secret service cars pushing it down 95. & if Biden is in it they call the troopers from de & pa to shut down all southbound entrances an hour before & after he passes. You’ll usually know he’s coming if you see de troopers driving towards Philly through pa
Meanwhile, Both the dutch King and prime minister travel around by bicycle...
Dutch King is a pilot for KLM lol
@Brianna Andreacci Just hit google images with "willem alexander op de fiets" (the King) or "mark rutte op de fiets" (MP) and you will get plenty of examples.
The Dutch king probably also has the world's most expensive bicycle. Maintenance costs for that bicycle are €45,000.- (or 50,000 USD) a year! 😂 www.volkskrant.nl/nieuws-achtergrond/hns-primeur-ophef-rond-racefiets-koning~b976c031/
Because they never got assasinated in modern history
Yeah but who cares about the Dutch
Great video, I had the opportunity, twice, to drive a car in then Vice President George H.W. Bush's motorcade. At that time I was an intern in a congressional office and they recruited interns to drive. Both times I drove a Ford Taurus which was loaned to us by a local Ford dealer. In my care I had the VP official photographer, an VP administrative staffer, and one secret service agent. We were behind all the other cars mentioned in the video. It was very cool to have the CHP on their motorcycles zipping by blocking traffic for us all. Both times I got to meet the VP and even have a picture with him in my office. It was pretty amazing how much work the secret service put into the motorcade, starting weeks before the visit. There was one point when I wondered over to look at the back of one of the secret service SUV's, I got quickly scolded by one of the agents, but I did see a belt fed M60 machine gun in the back before he caught me. I grateful for the life experience.
Had a coworker at Andrew's who also got slated to drive during 2 different occasions. 1st time he drove one of Bush Sr.'s children through inauguration parade in downtown DC, but don't remember which one it was. Surprised all of us that they didn't have Secret Service drivers for all of the cars associated with the motorcade.
I did manage to upset a couple Secret Service after Bush Sr won and was giving his acceptance speech the next morning. I had been working the night before and went to my on base dorm, which was directly across the street from the hanger of the old #26000 AF1 aircraft, and was still in use at that time. I had to do some tidying up of my room because I knew we were getting inspected later that afternoon. So I stepped outside in my civi's to dump my trash into the large outdoor dumpster designated for mine and another building that we shared a parking lot with. It finally hit me that the speech he was giving, live on TV, was coming from the hanger of AF1. Which was when I also realized there were at least 10 or more Secret Service sitting scattered throughout the parking lot of my dorm building, most of whom were giving me strange looks. So finally one of them asked what I was doing and said I needed to leave the area. At which point, my fatigue must have overcome me. Because I instantly became grumpy and my response was to look him right in the face and say "I'm not leaving! I live here!". Then I turned and walked back into my building, to my room, where my window promptly faced the AF1 hanger, so I turned off the TV opened my window and finished listening to his speech live from across the street, while I did some house cleaning.
Proof or it didn't happen.
@@rkraiem100 as if anyone cares what you believe?
Secret Service Agents watching this like: "this is not at all how we do things and I'm glad you got it wrong"
You gotta release just enough information for them not to wonder but not enough to know anything
Well yeah, they can't say exactly how it is.
It's never all the same motorcade or ever the same route to get where they are going. Many times the route they intend to use gets cometely shut down prior to their arrival and for a short period afterwards..
I have the best motorcade, I have running bodyguards
Lindón Moneda You are now banned from /r/Pyongyang
True facts about Glorious Supreme Leader: He does not actually need body guards and security as he is a living God and cannot be killed. He simply allows the guards to work so they can be able to feed their families and be blessed by his presence.
Lindón Moneda You are now a moderator at /r/woosh
LOL
Love you kimmy
I know this isnt actually him
A president left the area I live in several years ago. It was just 2 blocks away so I went up to see him/the whole deal. There were at least 200 motorcycle cops that formed a physical barrier at each intersection. All the mentioned vehicles and 6 Marine helicopters that were waiting at a small college. It was pretty amazing.
As a nurse, I know a Special forces >Cops & they said > a certain president..which will remain nameless > always had 4x what was normal..because he said he had " SO many MORE death threats than any president in history."
You can try to figure it out who that president was & it's not Biden.
Wendover Productions should be credited for this...
why? is he the only one who knows about this?
Or the war zone website.
@Brian The Explorer they copied word for word in some parts of the video
@Brian The Explorer they very much did not only word for word but also started with Obama as the first president seen in the video. They completely copied the format from the Wendover product.
@@FSX239 they also have copied GoodBadFlick's "WTF Happened to Movie Posters?" in their video titled "Why All Movie Posters Look the Same - Cheddar Explains". I made sure he was aware of that. I used to really love this channel, and people can easily make similar videos on the same topic. BUT here is the kicker , they used the same words, and the same examples sometimes. Or when they did change things, only slightly, they used the same exact arguments/points . AND it be possible to make videos on similar topics and come up with some similar ideas or points but not word for word! There's nothing wrong with that, per say, but they need to source where they get their info from! Kind of offensive that they don't! Like I said I used to like their videos, now I think there's a better video out there for each of them that they just copied from and did not source.
Cheddar: Please never do that annoying thing where you jerk the picture frame back and forth.
As someone who does VFX for explainer videos, I agree with this wholeheartedly.
Okay! We are trying out some new looks. But we agree, we will refrain from that frame from now on.
I didn't notice anything? Where/ when was this at?
Restarted it and I think I see what you mean around 1:30? I must've not noticed or just shrugged it off but I can understand not liking that.
Cheddar I like it! It’s kinda quirky and fun
The slip up at 4:07 is killing me 🙃
Transporting high.......... value staff. Seriously, why dont they just edit that out lol.
it's not even funny though
@Abstractism it's just a honest mistake. This video is probably made by animators, editors and vfx artists in the beginning of their career. People on the internet are always so soon to judge so harshly even though it's made by some people in their 20s trying to get by. They don't make alot of money and work alot of overtime.
And it probably increases engagement (as evidenced by our commenting on it) :/
DID I FUCKING STUTTER!!!
Cheddar: C17 is the biggest transport in the world
Antonov An-225: am I nothing to you
"Military" transport. Even this, C5 is still bigger.
@@rawinpinkoh5823 isn't An-124 bigger than C-5?
@@thespaceseal Yes. The Condor is definitely the biggest. Makes the C5 and C17 look like toy gliders
Am sure a joke tonyou
@@thespaceseal Yes, it is but if we are talking about a USAF AMC aircraft then the C-5 would be the largest aircraft in the inventory.
“See if you can identify all the vehicles.”
Don’t make it obvious that you’re doing it, or the Secret Service watching you might wonder what you have planned!
The Secret Service wants you to see the motorcade. It's all to prevent fools and noobs from trying something stupid. What you don't see is the REAL classified shit: snipers on rooftops, high-altitude drones, undercover agents standing next to you, NSA surveilling through traffic and business cameras, tapping into the phones of ANYONE within a 5-mile perimeter of the motorcade... and who knows what else.
@@barchetta575m and without knowing all of that, just by the size of the motorcade and the obvious security involved, even if I was a terrorist or something I wouldn't dare to try anything😂
I talked to some secret service guys when Obama spoke at University of Buffalo several years back, they were actually pretty cool.
Surely everyone looking at the motorcade is to be expected.
What Cheddar didn't mention is that they must have anti-aircraft capabilities somewhere.
I sought the Swiss president on the train on my way to school. Small difference
The Swiss President doesnt fuck the whole world and therefore can ride the tube in peace
Were you in that train?
The Swiss don't have a history of killing their presidents
Because nobody gives a shit about the Swiss president

@@thomasshelby7507 your*
You said “you are comment is so unfunny that I had to tell you about it”
5:26 The “U.S.A.F Heavy Transport” (no one calls it that) is actually a “C-17 Globemaster III” and it’s a really big plane but it’s not the largest in the world. Far as I understand the Russians has the largest air transport in the world.
Finally! Came here in the comments to find this, its not even the largest in the USAF.
A Russian company has the world’s largest cargo the antonov 225 but its a civilian aircraft and isn’t owned while the Russian military has the world’s largest military transport aircraft the antonov 124 but even though the antonov is overall larger the c-5 super galaxy is able to carry a heavier pay load at 129 tons while the antonov 124 due its weight and size can only take a pay load of 120 tons
@@jamesevans938 it's actually the Ukrainian company
@@MrShark-rk8sy I understand but the reason i said Russian is because the plane was designed in Ukraine when they were still under soviet rule so effectively it is a Russian plane
@@jamesevans938 Antonov 225 was designed and built by Ukrainian engineers, not Russian.
Yes, at that time we were the part of the Soviet Union (but as the USSR), although the aircraft was designed in 1980s, which was a remarkable time for our history, simply because the Soviet Union was about to collapse. However, the whole idea and the plane itself belongs to Ukraine and so Russia has no need to claim about it. Also here we have to point out that many of the Soviet civilian/military planes, spaceships were created by Ukrainian scientists (look up for some information about Korolev and other prominent engineers). It is not quite good to say that the aircraft has been created by Russian people just because Ukraine wasn't independent back then. We are different nations with different history, so please be accurate while considering such important information.
4:07 she stumbled over her line
Sounds more like a break it the taping
They learned their lesson after JFK lol
Roses are red, violets are blue, Epstein didn’t kill himself, and Oswald was a ruse
yea unfortunately we tend to learn what not to do after something happens not before
JFK be like- “ I’ll take a bucket for you” ❤️
😅😅😅
erm, clearly that statement is incorrect because the people who did the lesson were the ones who killed JFK. they are still as corrupt today. they didn't learn anything because if they did it, what's there to be learnt?
Just came here after watching how THE BEAST got struck over a ramp in Ireland. LOL..!
Hello friend
How are you doing?
There's also the Side Guards, a mix of local police and Secret Service positioned at key spots along the route, both on the street and on rooftops, keeping an eye out for anything suspicious
That's true. Most people don't look up, in order to realize if or how many snipers are present.
Learned a lot, amazing set up
4:08 high f- *whoops* Value staff
I love the music that starts at 2:45. It makes this video feel like a carchase seen from a 70's movie!
Imagine the president just sitting in an open roof car. Wait a minute...
Andrew, I really liked that.
I literally busted out a laugh.
I remember when John F Kennedy was assassinated.
Prior to that many politicians rode in convertibles.......it showed how close they were to us little people.
Gaddafi was riding in an open car, so did president of Uruguay I think he drives beatle
Believe this or not, I am fascinated with motorcades. I truly can't fathom why I am but Thank you for doing this video. I usually fall down a rabbit hole watching Vox content, I may add yours to the list.
This is a sweet explained I appreciate your help
Wow! This is interesting. I had no idea it was this elaborate.
Wendover already covered this tho
Takador two channels can’t cover the same topic?
@@drink15 they very much can cover the same topic. But they not only almost copied word for word but also started with Obama as the first president seen in the video. They completely copied the format from the Wendover product.
@@FSX239 Most people would use Obama. I would too and I never saw the other video.
3:26 You talk about overseas and low security or something... I'm seeing a map of Paris on the background... Well
Technically overseas sooo
Also Europe has more terrorist than usa
Great video, very interesting.
I love watching the motorcades. They look so smoothe, and cool coming through in that all black
I think Wendover Productions should do a precursor to this one and then opposed part 2. I just like the sound of that guy's voice
Imagine working at McDonald’s and seeing like 50 cars pull in you must think Oh business must be booming today but then you see like 40 armed guards step out of the car and you realize the president just wants a kids McFlurry
Clinton used to jog to McDonald's for breakfast in Wash. D.C.
Loving those Tahoes!
3:45 I don't think the Secret Service uses Chinese assualt rifles...
when i saw this on my homepage it was like "wait.. i've seen this?" Wendover Productions.
The moving background is incredibly distracting.
AND I just learnt something
I thank you :3
Lol the stutter at 4.07 😂😂
Is Trump's blood type hamberder or covfefe?
Karl it’s type China Positive
Ukrainian B- (Biden-) 😄😄
his type is a walking orange
@@D-M-J That makes sense. Then they can just use orange juice instead of expensive blood.
@@InventorZahran relax i was joking lol
Terrorists watching this video like: 👀👀📝
If it ain't on Wikipedia its on the internet somewhere.
Yoo true
Nice video. The voice of the narrator is so sweet.
Plot twist: The president remains in the ambulance all this time.
Cheddar be like "USAF heavy transport, a.k.a. the worlds biggest military transport aircraft" and then shows a video clip of a C-17 Globemaster III. The biggest military specific transport plane would be the C-5M Galaxy, BTW.
An 225: "Can't hear you over my 6 giant engines"
The Beast 2019: special doors and windows
The Beast 2030: nuclear plane
That has to be pretty cool to be a part of that.
would love to witness this almighty display one day

Did she just tell me to stop on the highway
Yep. And beside causing a traffic collision you would get a visit from the Secret Service.
Panda if there’s a motorcade around you it’s more than likely traffic is already being stopped
Panda I’m hurt 😭😂😂
Panda I might just have to end the misery and randomly stop in the middle of the highway
5:08 lmao this cop is pointing his weapon directly at the motorcade, really good training.
Littered with inaccuracies, but a fun watch
4:07 “high v- alue staff.”
CZcams : Anatomy of Presidential motorcade.
Meanwhile
Terrorists : Yes. 😂😂😂😂😂
lol exactly.
all the bad guys are taking notes.
If by terrorists you mean cia itself then yeah
This is so cool 😎
Interesting!
There is a recorded incident that took the Secret Service completely off guard, and it stopped the motorcade in its tracks, specifically the president's vehicle.. Lucky it wasn't under a hostile situation but it was a massive wake up call that the presidents beast has a massive weakness. Hopefully they counted it, but it would have taken some crazy ingenuity.
What is this incident you speak of?!?
@@hawaiianboy1743 Classified :3 Just kidding...but i won't say >.>
@@MerchantIvoryfilms was it when the beast was driving up a little hill or whatever it was in England and it there was a metal plate thing at the top. The beast as heavy as it is and as low as it is hit its undercarriage and literally stopped in it’s tracks. They moved bigger vehicles into its path to block its view from people standing in the street.
@@hawaiianboy1743 that wasn't the only occasion either. It got stuck and unable to cross over and exit a gate threshold because it sits too low to the ground. It couldn't cross the dip of threshold without driving the front bumper into the pavement on the other side of the dip. Never heard how they ended up getting it out of where it was but they did have to make alternate plans for the President at that time, just so he could keep his schedule.
There is a lot of incorrect information in this video.
First, you’ve missed the Electronic Countermeasures car. The car you shows at 4:01 is not the EC car, it's the Communication Car with the big, distinctive antenna on top of it. This car positions at the rear of the motorcade as said in the video and keeps the president connected with the outside world, including The Pentagon, and it's not a local vehicle.
The role of the EC car’s role is not to give warnings anyway, it’s the Intelligence Division (I.D) car’s role. The EC car’s role is to prevent any unregistered communication which can potentially detonate bombs remotely.
The role of the I.D car’s role is not to communicate with other units. The I.D car gathers intelligent information and predicts potential incoming threats, then provides the motorcade with safety recommendations and early warnings.
Impressive
My class went to DC yesterday and we saw a motorcade
4:06 ERROR 404 occured there for a second
Nuclear bomb: I'm about to end this whole motorcade's career
5:28 Why'd you guys show the C17 even though it's a C5 Galaxy that's used?
I was in a high rise in saint louis and I was cooking steak on the rooftop grill with my dad and I saw two of them coming off the highway.
Looking back it is hard to believe how before 1964 we lived in a world that we we're feeling secure and naïve enough to use convertibles for the President. Kennedy's assassination was a marking point in American history as like 9/11 was.
Seriously nuts that the leader of a 'developed' nation needs this much protection just to drive around, while the leaders of many others are able to do things like go jogging in public parks.
There are far more crazy and malicious people that want to take out the US president vs some lesser nation. The US is the most powerful and important nation on Earth and there is no close 2nd. Though that power and importance is waning under awful leadership, idiotic voters, and a lying and lazy media.
They are free to interact with the public and often do so. They just have to give fare worning to secret service about what they going to do. There have been occasions that past preaidents have walked the steets of downtown Wash. D.C. Or made stops at a public place. Ironically, as long as it's a "spontaneous" act, there's a certain amount of built in safety odds because it is something not on the known itinerary.
Funny. Just yesterday I actually crossed with Trumps Motorcade in Davos Switzerland at the WEF. They didn't have everything, but thanks to this video I now recognized most of the vehicles.
"The USAF's biggest transport aircraft": shows a C-17. Great video that is very informative and accurate, but your thinking of a C-5 super galaxy.
Imagine if the movie white house down happens in real life😬😬
Dr Cap why
it can't
Where are the snipers? I want snipersss
Pretty cool
I love videos that give me motion sickness
You guys should watch Wendover's video on this. Much better.
This is starting to feel like a video mill like inforgraphics
Serious overkill
Not necessarily. It is a strong deterrent and given that presidents have literally been assassinated during motorcades, it’s pretty justified.
There is also Ground Force One is the unofficial code-name for the black armored bus.
My highschool tour bus got stopped for the motorcade. Dubbya was president. Cool experience 😎
5:28 that's not true
Has anyone ever attempted to attack the motorcade?
Only in movies. There are easier ways to kill a president, and those have been attempted, mostly unsuccessfully.
Not in modern times, no.
Yes. Google JFK assassination. 🤓
@@descentplayer Hard to believe the two prior post.
It is sad people need to GOOGLE the assassination of President Kennedy.
I think.
@@wms1650 Just thinking that also
Is it bulletproof like glass on the cypertruck?
What if the president has the RH Null blood type (rarest). How are you going to supply that type of blood?
0:27 Are they going to cut off his access to twitter?
Huh... I thought the "Beast" was an extremely interesting vehicle but now I'm way more interested in the watchtower. Who gives a shit about the on board blood bank and fresh air supply to thwart chemical attacks! The watchtower has a name so cool it doesn't need a countermeasure for vampires!
But seriously, I love to see photos of The Beast next to full sized SUVs which look like toys in comparison. But then the inside of The Beast is about the size of a normal Cadillac limo due to the thickness of all the armor and the size of the all the other countermeasures.
All of this seems to be a little extravagant
It's either this or the convertible the JFK used, we all know how that turned out...
4:07 lol i have never heard the cheddar narrator make a mistake
Maybe they could consider reducing the security for the next year or so.
0:10 *"40-50 vehicle"*
**Greta Thunberg has left the chat**
I would love to slip an official looking ice cream van in amongst that motorcade.
5:28 not the heaviest cargo aircraft, that's the c5 galaxy not a c17 shown in the video, not sure which one is used for transport.
Mohammad: "Write that down Abdul, write it down!"
Wendover👐👐
I have actually seen President Clinton's motorcade. I was in the service when he came to town. I was at the main gate and was very impressed with the whole show. Only wish I had a camera back then.
Cool
This channel feels so manufactured lol
What do you mean by that?
@@cheddar I think he's comparing you to 'amateur' youtubers (like Thomas Game Docs) who's videos have a more 'handmade' feel to them whereas your videos are professional and clean, not unlike something you can see on TV from CNN. That's not necessarily better or worse though. Just different.
You should watch the infographics show
Wendover Productions made a much better video on this same topic a few years back.
It's so cool since theres just a gang of cars and you Know theres just Someone Huge
1:24 What's with the jittery photo frame effect? So annoying on a large TV.
Our British Royal Family usually travel in open top horse drawn carriages for state events. There are some heavy duty cars but Her Majesty believes that her public MUST be able to see her. So almost always she is in an open top carriage. I note that someone has also mentioned that the Dutch Royal family can often be seen on bicycles. I did once see Her Majesty Queen Beatrix cycling in The Hague with just one or two security guys with her.
I suppose this is a case where the various Royal Families of Europe are loved by their people and do not have to hide behind bullet proof glass, whereas the President of America is often hated by his own people..... A lot to be said for a modern constitutional monarchy.....
Hello friend I love your comment , You look so beautiful on your profile, How are you doing today?
Didn't someone try to kill Charles? The fact of the matter is, if King of England or Netherlands dies, the government will still move on since both are just figureheads.
The concept of foreign bad actors escapes you? Our people are not the only ones who would wish to harm the US president. Have you heard of Russia, China, Iran, and several dozen global terrorists organizations? Also, I know this comment is from several years ago. But how consequential would it be to the world the death of the British or Dutch monarch compared to the assassination of a sitting US president?
Ah yes. Totally normal behaviour.
This is who I wanna role!!!
Does the motorcade include Wendover being credited?
