It certainly will not be an electric one. The Big Boys are trying to starve the oil and gas industry the most essential industry of the 20th century. We and the Russians won World War 2 because we had enough oil and the Germans did not.
actionman935 He had a dark side when he said he never met a man he didn't like; he meant "I never met a MAN I didn't like"! He also said he "loved that line so much I'm gonna have it on my tombstone and I can't wait to die, so's I can see it for myself! He didn't like plenty of people, he was a Scorpio, he had all their virtues and little if any of their ugly side! But he had sarcasm, his Judge Priest character was a complex and excellent good man it's great to see Will play him! He and Step "n Fetchit cooked up a scheme that has the Judge imitating Step, Rogers best friend in film! It's delicious!
I love visiting his house. It's one of my favorite places to go to relieve some stress from family or work. The view from his house is beautiful because Oologah lake is right behind it.
He was a great person who was liked by others who were doing the best they could do then....my late Mom was born in 1931& grew up poorly in the great depression era
Need some of his wisdom in modern times. My grandparents and their families were all from the areas nearby Will Rogers birthplace in Oklahoma. They were of the generation born about 1900’s. They spoke of him often , when I was a youngster in 1950’s-1960’s.
And nearly 100 years on, what’s different? The US remains the wealthiest country with the most billionaires on earth, but over 30 million people are below the poverty line and many more live from pay check to pay check.
He is the man H. L. Mencken called "The most dangerous man in America!" That's lesson in economics and a reminder that while we vote, we, the people, are in charge if whether the current big men in Washington will stay in Washington!
He certainly was the biggest celebrity of the early 1930s. Star of stage, screen and radio, the most widely read of newspaper columnists, He was actively courted by FDR in 1932, and obtain his backing. However, as a friend of Lindbergh , and an isolationist he probably would have been an American Firster, opposing American involvement in the European war.
I just wish the Will Rogers Memorial Museum would quit sitting on Will's movies and appearances. Let them out so more people can be aware of Will's history and wisdom. He was one of the best and brightest of his day.
Thank you for your passion for sharing Will. We have the same passion. The Will Rogers Memorial Museum, does not own the rights of Will's movies to share with the public. They were controlled by Fox and now are controlled by Disney. We have permission to show them at the Museum and we do, and we are allowed to sell some in our gift shop.

Rogers's mother was one quarter-Cherokee and born into the Paint Clan. He quipped that his ancestors did not come over on the Mayflower, but they "met the boat".
Strange how history repeats itself. Where is Will Rogers when we need him? His wit and wisdom did more to explain in common terms what was going on in the Great Depression.

We are now in a "Small" Depression and what do we have to listen too?? Narcissistic political pundits on both sides who do not even know what is going on.

Looking for someone who actually cares for the people. There was a terrible circumstance in the 30's my family lost their merchantile, they lost everything and survived. I just am looking for someone who actually cares about people, Sudan, Hatia, Ukrain, Gaza, Isreal, Iran, Iraq actually, someone who cares about every single person.
I hope you find one. I hope we both do. It does read like you could find one in the mirror. BTW, they are around. I truly believe that, even amoung some of our elected people. Hang in there. 🙂
We have more of everything including people with their had out wanting something for nothing. The wealthiest always ask for people to give but they stay wealthy. Everyone is free to give as much as they want yet they refuse to give unless others give.
I wonder, is his comment about "getting nothing from Europe" something to do with Britain and France etc. reneging on their debts to the USA for the Great War? Certainly, it was a main reason for America's reluctance to become involved in the second war, and also her insistence on Britain transferring every ounce of her gold and tradable assets to the US via Canada prior to her signing 'Lend lease'.
We need a Will Rogers in 2012..... how/where can we find another one who will speak the truth in a manner that all people can understand and without the use of filth language....
He was or is a man for all times a truth teller relating to the people. Today we have Jordan Peterson as a truth teller and awaken with JP as a comedian. The two of them combined come close to Will.
I’m always impressed by some of the old time sound engineers. He is chewing gum and you can’t hear it. Watch some old Porter Wagoner shows and then compare that to the sound of any musical guest on SNL, it’s a stark difference.
I do hope everyone listens all the way through this speech. It's refreshing to hear him say the people, the citizens, the neighbors should be the one to raise the money to help their fellow Americans... NOT that the government should force it out of our hands by tax or otherwise. I'd say he would be shocked & confused by today's Democrats & Republicans... but they were both as messed up then as they are now... he wouldn't be surprised at all.
Hoover made it worse: much worse. Read "The Forgotten Man", it explains Hoover's role in trying to micromanage the American economy. Boy was he a trend-setter !
@@steverhodesvideos6244 Not necessarily. You could also read a book. It’s basically consensus now FDR prolonged the depression and the economy was saved by war production.
I disagree. I think Will and Donald would have been good friends. Maybe someone could work a deal with Disney to bring all of Will's movies and stuff back to the public domain where it belongs.
@@kathleenbrock2746 I must agree to disagree. Rogers was from a very mundane background. He toured the world which could not help but to give him insight on man's inhumanity to man. Much like Mark Twain later in life. Rogers' depression era radio broadcasts show how he supported the downtrodden and told the rich guys to share the wealth. Rogers would not have trashed trump, but neither would he support him. Then, of course, Rogers 'never met a man that I didn't like."
This was recorded during The Great Depression. A time when Republicans were the liberals and Democrats were the conservatives. This was a USA 2 years away from seeing the salvation of The New Deal and Social Security; 7 years away from the Fair Labor Standards Act (minimum wage). They had just come out of World War 1 a little over a decade previously and couldn't imagine the horrors about to face them 8 years later in World War 2. The people of that time remembered their childhood friends getting hurt in factories, trying to earn money for their parents. They knew people who had been crippled with polio. These were people who's parents were the victims of ruthless monopolies which reigned over the business world for decades. If you want to know what a free market economy can do for you; if you want to know what smaller government looks like; if you think things have only gone downhill because of the government turning into a nanny state; ask these people what kind of country they came from. Then think twice before looking down on the bleeding hearts who only want a fair chance at pursing happiness.
Isn't it funny then, that these children born at the end of the decadent 20's, who grew up during the great depression, and sacrificed much to win World War II went on to craft the highest functioning society in human history, one based on free enterprise and conservative values? It was their children who demanded the welfare programs that have kept the poor in poverty,, who destroyed the fabric of the family structure for the sake of easy sex,, who sold out their children and their grandchildren to corporate globalism in the name of cheap electronics. Who would have thought that the "greatest generation" would be followed by the worst?
Well of course they did. Their parents (The Greatest Generation and the silent generation) established the foundation of a more functional economy which they (The Boomers) took full advantage of. And it wasn't a cake walk for their parents either. They faced conservative opposition at every turn. The New Deal's labor rights, for example, were shot down thanks to a movement started by a single businessman who notably never thought it would go all the way to the supreme court. When the Boomers entered the work force, minimum wage had been in place for decades. In the 1960's it expanded to jobs beyond factory work and soon became a standard across the country for all jobs. What they earned was more than enough to live on. They could buy houses with the money they were earning on minimum wage job. They took that money, invested it, started businesses of their own (without loans), tinkered in their garages and started families. As for the Greatest Generation's grandchildren (Generation X), they had to work nearly twice as hard to get the same results. As for Welfare, that was part of Social Security which was introduced in The New Deal back in 1935. It's actually a vital part of any economy. The problem with it that "kept the poor in poverty" is thanks to the extremely effective business tactics of the boomers and a few Gen X. The disparity has moved faster than policy can account for. Because of that, the pathway out of poverty is less of a gradual process and more a leap of faith. If one fails at striking out on their own, they fall hard. Two or Three generations out now with the same regressive business practices being followed, the Greatest Generation's great-great grandchildren often times can't even fall back on moving in with their parents in an emergency, since their parents are also struggling to get by. And in regards to easy sex? If you look it up, you'll find that boomers on average have had more sex partners than their parents, their children, and their grand children (when age is taken into account). So whether or not the traditional family structure has eroded, it wasn't for the sake of sex. And as for selling out to corporatism? That's a fundamental business practice throughout all generations. It's all about who manages to sway the leaders. From time to time it happens. This time it happened on the boomer's watch. It's not the generation's fault though. Boomers are typically good people (good as anybody else.)
He's a distant relative of mine. I have no reason to believe that other than that almost everybody else who has commented on this page is related to him, so I must be too.
This is what Bernie Sanders and Professor Elizabeth Warren say, and have been saying for long time...#TheOrangeClownandhiscircusofadministrationhavegottogo
I read the comments and some of them are really quite embarrassing, there's no one in America starving due to the fact they can't find or afford food it is almost unheard of someone starving to death.. Once you get out of the crime-ridden slums created by liberal socialist and Democrats in democrat-run cities most Americans either renting their homes or buying and driving automobiles. A good standard of living all depends on what your standards are. Before the Chinese virus anyone willing to work could work. Back in Will Rogers day the only time you seen the government was when you went to the post office. In Will Rogers days They valued their Liberty and there rights and freedom and were far more independent from the government than today self-proclaimed victims. Big government is not the answer big government is the problem. We need to go back to the roots of our manhood and depend on ourselves and solve our problems without government. Self-preservation is the key to living a good life. No one owes me anything, the only debt I have is to the good Lord above. Obey the laws of the land respect yourself and respect others always do the right thing and count your blessings and thank the one who makes it possible. God not the government
All of this kind of thinking serves at disenfranchising Native people and their descendants... people Like Will and I. You know the Cherokee Nation held the land collectively until the Dawes act which broke up their government... their sovereignty... on right you with your American Ideals only like democracy if it suits your imperialist interests.
@@joshuazolten6457 spoken Through The Eyes and the thinking of victimhood. Before the first settlers ever step foot on this continent the Indian nations we're conquering other tribes and there land and people for thousands of years.. they were men of their times doing what every men of their times did. At one point or another someone had to be the original settlers and from that day forth not just in America but on every continent conquering land and people were commonplace. They were men of their times. Who was the very first people to step on any continent and how many times did it change hands between tribes of people will never know. The first settlers from foreign countries who came to America We're Men of their times that obtained the lands through trade and treaties or Wars They were men of their times doing what humans had done for thousands of years all over the world.. who did the Comanche and the Cherokee and other nations obtained the land they were holding at that time. I've got an idea, let's be morally Superior superhumans and let's go to Every Nation every continent and give the land back to its original owners. How would that work? They were men of their times doing what men of their times did. Who did the Cherokee and the Comanche get their land from. Before man we're even keeping history how do you know. Finally at this point in history there is no more land grabbing there is no more concrete other countries and people, do you know why because we are men of our times. We cannot rewrite history or renegotiate it. That does not make us bad people or robbers villains or thieves. That makes us humans and Men of our times. Love one another self preservation treat yourself and others with respect and help each other with a hand up and everyone quit looking for a handout. Our rights do not come from the government but are only protected by the government. We are the people we are the government. There's only one hour power, and it is not government
If you say "a more equal distribution of the wealth in the country," then people will call you a Socialist. It's funny how history keeps repeating itself, over and over again.
Rogers's view was closer to Rerum Novarum than it was to socialism or communism. We recognize that it's morally wrong for people to control great wealth while their neighbors are starving to death... and that was happening in the U.S. Notice Rogers emphasizes the preference for *allowing* people to work for their livelihoods. People were willing to work, but the wealthy were hoarding their resources and not hiring.
@@kimfleury True. If one can find a film clip of the very poor, during the Depression, notice how skinny they are. Many waited in long lines daily, lines that sometimes but not often, connected them to a day job--that day only. Then at some point the rest of the folks in the line wld be told there are no more jobs. Wish I CLD put it here, that poem written by a poor guy who wanted work. "What Is Work?" There are two versions, one much shorter. Then, the longer version. Each is almost overwhelming.
We're at a point now where's it's 10X more insane. We're basically at post-scarcity and still trying to create meaningless jobs and businesses to keep people busy.
I just want to jump through the screen and give him a big hug. And drag him to 2022. Damn, Mr. Rogers - we need people like you right now

I wonder, is his comment about "getting nothing from Europe" something to do with Britain and France etc. reneging on their debts to the USA for the Great War? Certainly, it was a main reason for America's reluctance to become involved in the second war, and also her insistence on Britain transferring every ounce of her gold and tradable assets to the US via Canada prior to her signing 'Lend lease'.
Britain told us after that war, "We won't pay you back. The monarchy needs its money." Something like that...
This speech could have been reused for the 2008 crash. 07:42
I have never seen anyone able to talk and chew gum at the same time.
I live in Oklahoma and I’ve been to his school thing
I doubt this speech could even be broadcast today, there is no way our corporate press would allow it.
The corporate media that is gleefully promoting outright marxism on the regular?
Go to bed old man.
so true!
I trust the mainstream media, not some random troll with zero credibility...

Sad that nothing has changed.
We need a Will Rogers in 2012..... how/where can we find another one who will speak the truth in a manner that all people can understand and without the use of filth language....
make that 2021 now. Instead, we still have a rapidly worsening saturday night live.
He was or is a man for all times a truth teller relating to the people. Today we have Jordan Peterson as a truth teller and awaken with JP as a comedian. The two of them combined come close to Will.
Mr. Rogers' made these remarks on October 18, 1931.
He was a good man. Elected to politics. He wasnt. A poitician. 🇺🇸
I’m always impressed by some of the old time sound engineers. He is chewing gum and you can’t hear it. Watch some old Porter Wagoner shows and then compare that to the sound of any musical guest on SNL, it’s a stark difference.
Now and days they would of put the gum chewing on full max
His son was his spitting image.
this is prophecy, i think.
A lot of people are related to this man....
I do hope everyone listens all the way through this speech. It's refreshing to hear him say the people, the citizens, the neighbors should be the one to raise the money to help their fellow Americans... NOT that the government should force it out of our hands by tax or otherwise.
I'd say he would be shocked & confused by today's Democrats & Republicans... but they were both as messed up then as they are now... he wouldn't be surprised at all.
You just got an infrastructure bill on the table - in Ontario, we are taxed and we've replaced over 50 bridges in the last 20 years.
SO DID I AT WILEY POST AIRPORT - THEY SAY IF YOU CAN LEARN TO FLY IN OKLAHOMA YOU CAN FLY ANYWHERE BECAUSE THE WIND(S) ARE SO BAD...
Oklahoma City - where we name our airports after people who died in plane crashes.

"Liberal" means something very different now than it did then.
Bacon Beans And what are limousines 🙄🙄🤔🤔its said listening to will the man gave you hope .now eat those beans bacon and limousine 😊😂
what chowderheads clicked a "thumbs down" to WILL ROGERS?!
Common sense is a thing of the past
Will was magnanimous to Hoover, who actually had the Depression flung on him rather than he being the cause.
Hoover made it worse: much worse. Read "The Forgotten Man", it explains Hoover's role in trying to micromanage the American economy. Boy was he a trend-setter !
@@beltwaybandit5333
You're right, Hoover worsened it, and FDR worsened it even more.
@@rg8071 Really, where's your proof, or are we just supposed to take the word of some trumped-up social media troll?
@@steverhodesvideos6244 Not necessarily. You could also read a book. It’s basically consensus now FDR prolonged the depression and the economy was saved by war production.
sounds like we are aheading to where the economy was back then again.
Okie accent!
He was one-fourth Cherokee.
Has anything changed?
sounds just like today doesn't it?
The original George Carlin.
We need a calming voice of reason like this today. But trump would have trashed Rogers daily by tweet.
Yes. Because trump is the problem. 😂
I disagree. I think Will and Donald would have been good friends. Maybe someone could work a deal with Disney to bring all of Will's movies and stuff back to the public domain where it belongs.
@@kathleenbrock2746 I must agree to disagree. Rogers was from a very mundane background. He toured the world which could not help but to give him insight on man's inhumanity to man. Much like Mark Twain later in life. Rogers' depression era radio broadcasts show how he supported the downtrodden and told the rich guys to share the wealth. Rogers would not have trashed trump, but neither would he support him. Then, of course, Rogers 'never met a man that I didn't like."
@@H.pylori I can pretty well promise you WR wld NOT have liked dt. AT ALL!!!
This was recorded during The Great Depression. A time when Republicans were the liberals and Democrats were the conservatives.
This was a USA 2 years away from seeing the salvation of The New Deal and Social Security; 7 years away from the Fair Labor Standards Act (minimum wage). They had just come out of World War 1 a little over a decade previously and couldn't imagine the horrors about to face them 8 years later in World War 2.
The people of that time remembered their childhood friends getting hurt in factories, trying to earn money for their parents. They knew people who had been crippled with polio.
These were people who's parents were the victims of ruthless monopolies which reigned over the business world for decades.
If you want to know what a free market economy can do for you; if you want to know what smaller government looks like; if you think things have only gone downhill because of the government turning into a nanny state; ask these people what kind of country they came from. Then think twice before looking down on the bleeding hearts who only want a fair chance at pursing happiness.
Isn't it funny then, that these children born at the end of the decadent 20's, who grew up during the great depression, and sacrificed much to win World War II went on to craft the highest functioning society in human history, one based on free enterprise and conservative values?
It was their children who demanded the welfare programs that have kept the poor in poverty,, who destroyed the fabric of the family structure for the sake of easy sex,, who sold out their children and their grandchildren to corporate globalism in the name of cheap electronics.
Who would have thought that the "greatest generation" would be followed by the worst?
Well of course they did. Their parents (The Greatest Generation and the silent generation) established the foundation of a more functional economy which they (The Boomers) took full advantage of.
And it wasn't a cake walk for their parents either. They faced conservative opposition at every turn. The New Deal's labor rights, for example, were shot down thanks to a movement started by a single businessman who notably never thought it would go all the way to the supreme court.
When the Boomers entered the work force, minimum wage had been in place for decades. In the 1960's it expanded to jobs beyond factory work and soon became a standard across the country for all jobs. What they earned was more than enough to live on.
They could buy houses with the money they were earning on minimum wage job. They took that money, invested it, started businesses of their own (without loans), tinkered in their garages and started families.
As for the Greatest Generation's grandchildren (Generation X), they had to work nearly twice as hard to get the same results.
As for Welfare, that was part of Social Security which was introduced in The New Deal back in 1935. It's actually a vital part of any economy.
The problem with it that "kept the poor in poverty" is thanks to the extremely effective business tactics of the boomers and a few Gen X. The disparity has moved faster than policy can account for. Because of that, the pathway out of poverty is less of a gradual process and more a leap of faith. If one fails at striking out on their own, they fall hard. Two or Three generations out now with the same regressive business practices being followed, the Greatest Generation's great-great grandchildren often times can't even fall back on moving in with their parents in an emergency, since their parents are also struggling to get by.
And in regards to easy sex? If you look it up, you'll find that boomers on average have had more sex partners than their parents, their children, and their grand children (when age is taken into account). So whether or not the traditional family structure has eroded, it wasn't for the sake of sex.
And as for selling out to corporatism? That's a fundamental business practice throughout all generations. It's all about who manages to sway the leaders. From time to time it happens. This time it happened on the boomer's watch. It's not the generation's fault though. Boomers are typically good people (good as anybody else.)

I read the comments and some of them are really quite embarrassing, there's no one in America starving due to the fact they can't find or afford food it is almost unheard of someone starving to death.. Once you get out of the crime-ridden slums created by liberal socialist and Democrats in democrat-run cities most Americans either renting their homes or buying and driving automobiles. A good standard of living all depends on what your standards are. Before the Chinese virus anyone willing to work could work. Back in Will Rogers day the only time you seen the government was when you went to the post office. In Will Rogers days They valued their Liberty and there rights and freedom and were far more independent from the government than today self-proclaimed victims. Big government is not the answer big government is the problem. We need to go back to the roots of our manhood and depend on ourselves and solve our problems without government. Self-preservation is the key to living a good life. No one owes me anything, the only debt I have is to the good Lord above. Obey the laws of the land respect yourself and respect others always do the right thing and count your blessings and thank the one who makes it possible. God not the government
All of this kind of thinking serves at disenfranchising Native people and their descendants... people Like Will and I. You know the Cherokee Nation held the land collectively until the Dawes act which broke up their government... their sovereignty... on right you with your American Ideals only like democracy if it suits your imperialist interests.
@@joshuazolten6457 spoken Through The Eyes and the thinking of victimhood. Before the first settlers ever step foot on this continent the Indian nations we're conquering other tribes and there land and people for thousands of years.. they were men of their times doing what every men of their times did. At one point or another someone had to be the original settlers and from that day forth not just in America but on every continent conquering land and people were commonplace. They were men of their times. Who was the very first people to step on any continent and how many times did it change hands between tribes of people will never know. The first settlers from foreign countries who came to America We're Men of their times that obtained the lands through trade and treaties or Wars They were men of their times doing what humans had done for thousands of years all over the world.. who did the Comanche and the Cherokee and other nations obtained the land they were holding at that time. I've got an idea, let's be morally Superior superhumans and let's go to Every Nation every continent and give the land back to its original owners. How would that work? They were men of their times doing what men of their times did. Who did the Cherokee and the Comanche get their land from. Before man we're even keeping history how do you know. Finally at this point in history there is no more land grabbing there is no more concrete other countries and people, do you know why because we are men of our times. We cannot rewrite history or renegotiate it. That does not make us bad people or robbers villains or thieves. That makes us humans and Men of our times. Love one another self preservation treat yourself and others with respect and help each other with a hand up and everyone quit looking for a handout. Our rights do not come from the government but are only protected by the government. We are the people we are the government. There's only one hour power, and it is not government
Was that at Los Angeles' KFI?

Prob William. Perhaps he just shortened it. Or they did. Idk, cause I didn't look it up.
If you say "a more equal distribution of the wealth in the country," then people will call you a Socialist. It's funny how history keeps repeating itself, over and over again.
Rogers's view was closer to Rerum Novarum than it was to socialism or communism. We recognize that it's morally wrong for people to control great wealth while their neighbors are starving to death... and that was happening in the U.S. Notice Rogers emphasizes the preference for *allowing* people to work for their livelihoods. People were willing to work, but the wealthy were hoarding their resources and not hiring.
@@kimfleury True. If one can find a film clip of the very poor, during the Depression, notice how skinny they are. Many waited in long lines daily, lines that sometimes but not often, connected them to a day job--that day only. Then at some point the rest of the folks in the line wld be told there are no more jobs. Wish I CLD put it here, that poem written by a poor guy who wanted work. "What Is Work?" There are two versions, one much shorter. Then, the longer version. Each is almost overwhelming.
We're at a point now where's it's 10X more insane. We're basically at post-scarcity and still trying to create meaningless jobs and businesses to keep people busy.
Help each other through the government , best chance we have , from an old socialist.
