Every US Presidents Height and Weight
Every President's favorite "pleasure"!
Every Presidents favorite Sports Team
Favorite sports or health conditions
The Parents (and / or famous ancestors) of every president in American History.
What a shame that George Washington never experienced Barbenheimer.
We live in historical times!
Well, he probably would not have gotten the context
Maybe in the second season of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln by Zach Star
He missed gta 6😔
Jurassic Park would have blown his mind
“Tell me, future boy, who’s President of United States in 1985?”
“Ronald Reagan”.
“Ronald Reagan?! The actor?!”
Well he was governer of California before then. Trump becoming president was probably the most shocking one.
Said by Michael J. Fox, who’s a lead cast member in Reagans favorite show 😱
Back to the Future in 2024 set in 1994:
"Tell me future boy, who is President in 2024?"
"Joe Biden"
"Joe Biden!? The senator? Wouldn't he be like 80 then!?"
If someone from 2025 went in a time machine to me in 1995 and told me that Trump was president, I would have said, "Donald Trump?! The actor?!"
In “Born in East L. A.”, Cheech Marin’s character Rudy thought it was John Wayne when asked by the Immigration Police or whatever you call those people. I love that movie.
Fun fact: regan watch back to the future in theaters and when doc brown made a joke about him he asked the theater to replay the joke, which they did.
Apparently he was also asked to appear in Back To The Future Part III but for whatever reason that didn’t happen.
@@samuelbarber6177 Back to the Future Part III was released in 1990, which was 4 years before he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. He was already experiencing memory issues as early as 1988, so his memory may be a factor in his withdrawal from Back to the Future Part III.
@@samuelbarber6177 Probably because he was affected too much by dementia by then. It was already affecting him *during* the final years of his Presidency, and he was out of office by the time BTTF Part 3 came out.
@@DataLalAlzheimer's
I have idea for a potential future video. How about who was every President’s favorite President?
I'm already planning on it!
@@iammrbeatlooking forward, I wonder who Washington’s fave was
I cant wait to know who George Washingtons favorite president will be
Well there were about 12 “practice” presidents before him, so one of those. I can’t remember what they were called, but I read it somewhere there were “presidents” before George Washington. I don’t know if Mr. Beat mentioned this in any of his videos. I’m new to this channel.
@@AntonXul Benjamin Franklin is sometimes considered to be the first president of the united states
Even before the US was a thing
If that makes sense
My mouth literally flew open when I found out Gerald Ford's favorite movie
more impressive is the fact that he was like 80 when that movie came out.
It's most surprising to me because he was an old man when it came out (1990).
Oh crap, I just wrote basically the same thing lol @@anasfarahi4401
That was actually a fun fact! Who would’ve thought?
@@iammrbeatwonder what his favorite movie was before Home Alone came out. Any insight?
You can say that Abe Lincoln was blown away by the last play he saw in the theater.
Well, he was blown away by a particular actor
thats a cheap shot
@@stegotyranno4206 I blew it, didn’t I?
@@D.S.handle blast! i just realised I made a joke too
@@samuelbarber6177 clever
WILSOOOON!!!
Oddly, my favorite historical film is Patton too. A lot of people disbelieve Trump's favorite is Citizen Kane, since it's premise is basically in direct contradiction of his own story, but he's actually done entire interviews about what he likes about the film and it's just mind-boggling to hear
Honestly, as someone who’s seen Citizen Kane, that film being Trump’s favorite is hilarious.
"I like to read myself awake" 🥶🥶🥶 I was unfamiliar with Truman's sas
Truman was a very sassy guy. He had no trouble holding back his opinions, but if he couldn't say something in polite company, he'd spill it out in his daily dairy or in a letter to his mother, or privately share his thoughts with Bess and Margaret.
He had a thing on his desk that said the buck stops here
The sassy man apocalypse started with him
Woodrow Wilson Screening a birth of a nation & calling it historicly accurate is the most Woodrow Wilson thing ever, which is really saying something about our 28th president...
But remember- he MAY have not actually said that
@@iammrbeat headcanon
@@iammrbeat
Yeah sure, and Tommy J may not have actually fathered Sally Hemings’ children 😂
Wilson, the third _progressive_ President, did segregate federal buildings and promote a history curriculum to make Ron Desantis weep with envy.
I don't suppose Lincoln enjoyed _Our American Cousin_ all that much
Yeah she should’ve split up with him for that
“Yesterday December 7th 1941 a…. Movie has just hit theaters near you and you need to watch it, it’s my favorite.” - fdr
A historic speech
A date which will live in famy.
Fun Kennedy Fact :: Kennedy was a surprisingly avid reader of books throughout his entire life. He started reading books, from biographies of his heroes (Churchill, King Arthur, and Melbourne), as well as thousands of others very early into his childhood. To Kennedy, books were his smartphones. He read when he ate breakfast, walked, or did anything unrelated to the presidency. In fact, while undergoing back surgery in 1954, he read essentially the whole time--in excruciating pain. In a follow-up surgery (The previous caused more problems than fixed), Kennedy read through it as well.
Kennedy was also very knowledgeable in history, frequently citing books in his speeches and own works (he named his book *Why England Slept* after Churchill's Arms of the Covenant, which had been released in the US under the name *While England Slept*). Kennedy also became really good at using history to re-contextualize what occurred during his presidency, such as during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Kennedy also viewed Churchill as a personal hero of his. Kennedy read Churchill's *Marlborough* religiously, and cited it more than once throughout his campaign as a major reason for running. Churchill had gotten him into the world of politics (as well as the pushing of Joe Kennedy Sr, his father, but Churchill was the main reason. If not for Churchill, Kennedy may have been known as a best-selling author instead of president). So I partially agree with "From Russia With Love" as Kennedy's favorite book, but i feel that Marlborough would be much better suited in that position--it made Churchill a personal hero of Kennedy and guided his ethos as president.
TLDR; Kennedy was an avid book reader and read every day. He read through pain and used his knowledge from reading to guide him throughout his presidency. Churchill's Marlborough guided Kennedy's life and made Churchill a personal hero of his.
Source - A thousand Days: John F. Kennedy in the White House by Arthur M. Schlesinger
Looking back knowing how much pain he had to have been in most of the time it is a surprised how much he did when he is in offices
Fun fact: Following a failed surgery in 1954 that nearly got him killed, a friend, while visitng kennedy at the hospital, lended him a copy of Casino Royale, the first ever James Bond novel. JFK, as the fastest reader of all presidents, read through it within a week and became fascinated with Bond. He even met with eriter Ian Fleming once
I admire Adams for many things, but finishing Paradise Lost is right at the top of that list. Too many words, man
I couldn't do it myself.
I couldn't finish the Hobbit, so I can totally relate
@@alonkatz4633
Oh boy, try not to pick up the Silmarillion then
Thanks for your admiration towards me!! God bless you
I often don't receive such respect :(
@@HistoryWorld1826 no way it’s John Adams aged 288
No matter what he says, we all know that Bills' favorite TV show is My Little Pony.
Mine too
I don't blame him or doubt it
Yeah, Like he completely answered all the questions correctly on the radio show he was on.
I did consider bringing this up...
Hey, how's mouldering in the grave going for you?
If Abraham Lincoln was around to see Disney's Aladdin, it'd be his favorite movie.
why?
The Will Smith version or the original animated one?
@@mattbeatgoeson The original.
I could see that being the case
@@major_kukri2430 he was man of culture
Fun Fact: William Henry Harrison's inauguration speech was so long, he made it into a book.
His long speech was the reason he was the shortest serving president. He gave it in the 30 degree Fahrenheit rain without a jacket and caught pneumonia which ended up killing him.
@@theautisticcomedianMyth he actually got sick due to contaminated water
Sadly, he didn't live long enough to do book-signings to promote it.
For George Bush: "His favorite movies are either baseball related or war related."
*That doesn't suprise me, especially the war part* 😂
To be fair, who doesn't like war movies like Saving Private Ryan?
The baseball part isn't surprising either, he basically owned the Rangers for a few years.
He like me, fr
Wait.
Oh no
@@warlordofbritannia off to the Hague with you
Ya he's most famous for throwing a baseball in a ceremonial pitch that was a perfect strike, and starting the "war on terror"
Ronald Reagan's favorite movie (that he starred in) was actually "Kings Row" (1942). He played a character whose legs get amputated by an evil surgeon (why that made it his favorite I do not know why, but, hey, to each his own).
He owned a personal print of the film and would screen it for guests at dinner parties. In the movie, when he discovers that his legs are gone, he quips "Where's the rest of me?" He loved that line so much he actually made it the title of his 1965 memoir.
I remember reading that he really liked high noon as well and would talk about how good it was
Actors often like to play disabled or handicapped characters, they consider it more of a challenge.
I’m not surprised since Reagan liking Soul Man surprises me more
"You will never be alone with a poet in your pocket."
John Adams to his son, John Quincy Adams
What a tragedy that nowadays books don't fit in pockets...
@@franciscoferreira1383 That's more to do with the size of modern pockets as opposed to the size of modern books. A modern mass market paperback book could probably fit into an 18th century pocket.
26:18 I find the fact that Donald Trump's favorite movie is Citizen Kane to be spine tingly prophetic.
It's still strange. I feel like someone who truly liked the movie wouldn't act like Trump, as they wouldn't act like Kane, of course
@@franciscoferreira1383 I get the feeling this is probably a lie and came up as part of a list of pre approved interview questions at some point and when they had to come up with answers because he doesn't/might not even be able to read and doesn't have the attention span for full movies... Someone probably fed him the answer and said citizen kane as a joke
@@Calzaki That part. Citizen Kane as a joke. If Trump had an actual favorite movie, it wouldn't be Citizen Kane. My thinking is that it'd be something much darker than Citizen Kane - more along the line of The Godfather or a more recent fare like The Purge. Something that would enforce his violent sensibilities.
@@Calzaki Somebody said in another comment that he actually explained why he liked the movie so much, though I don't know if that's true or not
@@kerrijansson2919 Yet Hitler's favourite was snow white and the seven dwarves, being violent in real life isn't an indication your taste in media will be.
Fun Fact: FDR also helped write a mystery novel that was adapted as a film called "The President's Mystery".
Biggest surprise for me was Biden's fondness for "Ulysses". I tried reading it. After 40 years I was up to page 28 when I gave up. By tracking down the references I did learn a bit of Celtic history.
I was assigned to read Ulysses in my British Lit class in college. Gave up after 10 pages.
is it actually that boring
@@Jeff_Biden Yes. If you haven't read it, be prepared to be confused....a lot. And the dialogue is pretty difficult to follow. I couldn't get any further than page 10.
@@kerrijansson2919 James Joyce, possibly the most famous Irish writers of all time, in a British literature class? I know Ireland was still part of the British Empire for most of his life, but come on
@@marcasdebarun6879 At my alma mater, yes, James Joyce was included in my British literature classes. That was because the English department at the time did not offer Irish literature courses, so my Brit lit professors had to include noteworthy Irish writers into their British literature courses. And if my memory serves me well, my British literature textbooks had excerpts of written works by some Irish and Scottish writers such as Oscar Wilde.
My favorite book is Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas. My favorite movie is a tie between Better Off Dead and Last Action Hero (insert "only 90s kids" joke here). My favorite show is Doctor Who.
Just putting it out there for you, Mr Beat, in case I become president.
Let me know when you run!
As soon as I read his name I thought of the scene in django unchained when Schultz tells Candie, “Alexandre Dumas was black.”
Alexandre Dumas was such a great author! I love the Count of Monte Cristo, but everything Dumas wrote was epic
Why not. Favorite book: Dune by Frank Herbert. Show: Babylon 5. Movie: Spirited Away. :)
Hello fellow Whovian!
According to historian and Robert La Follette biographer Nancy Unger, Fighting Bob’s autobiography was noted as one of Nixon’s three favorite books. Apparently Nixon’s father was a supporter of his 1924 campaign. Surprised you missed that, Beat!
I haven't read all the books.
@@iammrbeatFair. Neat factoid though. You wouldn’t think it, but since apparently Nixon’s father was a vocal supporter of his in 1924, I guess it had an impact on Dick’s own political outlook as the representative of “the forgotten American”.
@@wigglyziggly Any idea how it influenced his policies?
@@deiansalazar140I’m sure it influenced what he thought was “the forgotten American” meaning the white working class like him and his father. Even though La Follette was close with figures like WEB DuBois, who advocated the civil rights measures that LBJ passed. La Follette seems to have been misinterpreted by Nixon, as some progressive conservative, even though he was anything but. The ENTIRE working class was ignored in the 1920s, while Nixon divided them in the 1960s.
I woke up today with congestion and a headache this video is what I needed to get through the day
I hope you feel better soon!
@@iammrbeatturns out I had the flu
Looking forward to the coveted, inevitable Mr Beat video on “every president’s favorite anime!”
George W. Bush liking Field of Dreams, Blackhawk Down and the Bible is simply the best.
Me as the 47th President:
- Favorite book(s): The Bible; *On A Sea of Glass by Tad Fitch* ; slice of life manga
- Favorite movie(s): *Titanic* , Five Nights at Freddy’s, The Polar Express, Get Out; Star Trek
- Favorite show(s): El Senor De Los Cielos; Narcos; Star Trek: TOS; *slice of life anime*
You’ve just ruined your chance of becoming president, nobody would knowingly elect a fan of the FNAF movie
@@willfakaroni5808 hey, as a FNAF veteran, I liked it and can’t wait for the second one! Sue me!
"Slice of life anime"
"Five Night's at Freddy's"
Jesus Christ.
Prediction: In 30 years the President's favorite YT Channel will be Mr. Beat
And Mr Beat made that list 😂
“But I’m not Millard Fillmore”
We’ve been duped! Bamboozled!
We’ve been smeckledorfed!
@@joeyhenriques7289 That’s not even a word and I agree with ya
This is something I didn’t even think 💭 about thanks Mr. Beat
I think about this stuff WAY TOO MUCH
@@iammrbeat you should do every president's favorite holiday!
I remember seeing an interview with Obama once, he was asked about cartoons and he said he liked Spongebob.
JFK also liked the Manchurian Candidate. When he found out it was to be made into a movie, he asked, "Who are they going to get to play the mother?"
You should do another video on Presidents who APPEARED in Movies and TV shows! (Gerald Ford on "Dynasty", Jimmy Carter on "Home Improvement", Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump in a ton of things, Joe Biden on "Parks and Rec" and "Carmen Sandiego" etc.)
Carter also appeared in King of the hill
@@FilipPopovic-oj2fz Carter himself didn't appear on King of the Hill. David Herman voiced him. The original comment was in reference to presidents themselves appearing on TV shows as themselves.
George Bush in the Simpsons episode "two bad neighbors."
I have been waiting for this video Mr. beat. This video is amazing.
:)
Mr. Beat, you never disappoint. Can hardly wait for your next video. Thank you for your fascinating and unique take on American history.
Franklin pierce's favourite book was probably one of those hollowed out ones with a hip flask inside
And Harding probably loved Playboy so much that he had a subscription before the magazine was even first published
Harding died long before Playboy was even published.
Hahahaha, that flask joke is perfection
He just read ikea ads for cupboards and let his imagination run wild
Grant also had an appreciation for Mark Twain, who published his autobiography written while Grant was racing against his death so that his family wouldn’t be broke after he passed.
Another fun and amazing President Video, Mr. Beat! Great job on it.
thank you Mr Beat - great show - and i have added a few books to my list!!
The video I've been waiting for.
My mom said she watched she watched Batman (1989) in the same theater as Bill Clinton when he was the governor of Arkansas. She said she heard him say “that was a pretty good movie” after it was over so feel free to add that one too
I'm gonna post before I even watch the video because something you said right at the beginning is more important than the fun facts your about to present.
Thank you Mr. Beat, for helping raise awareness and normalizing the topic of mental health. We have few problems discussing many of the ailments that can affect our body, but there's still such a stigma about discussing those that affect our minds. I'm being treated for depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. Many people suffer in silence. If a person breaks their leg we are fine with talking about it, but if some trauma breaks their mind we speak in hushed tones.
We are making headway but keep banging that gong until we are as comfortable discussing mental ailments as we are about injuries. Thank you again!
1:30 I loved that cut to break the 4th wall when he mentioned time bending because time is the 4th dimension.
Great video! Really dig this kind of content that you do.
And Ford hah, I can see Home Alone as he was almost 80 and long retired when it came out. The man oversaw one of the most tumultuous eras - end of Vietnam, social unrest and rapid change, stagflation, list goes on. The fun antics of Macaulay Culkin were just right I am sure.
the little uncomfortable silence after the sad jokes made me laugh more
TV shows are the same age as penicillin. Which means that Jimmy Carter was born 4 years BEFORE penicillin and sitcoms existed. Dick Van Dyke is less than 3 years older than penicillin and sitcoms. Why is that blowing my mind? 🤯
Great work, Mr. Beat.
Could you do every president’s cabinet? I think it’d be interesting to learn about what new offices were added over time, the new duties they handle, and fun trivia about the members of the cabinets.
There's an irony that Citizen Kane is Trump's favorite movie.
This was such an informative and entertaining episode. I especially liked seeing you reading the dictionary, because that was one of my favorite pastimes from ages 12-17.
Thanks again Mr. Beat
Mr. Beat has endless facts, huge respect 👏 💯
This is such a cursed list. Imagine making a Buzzfeed article trying to find out what President has the closest tastes to you do
😂
Acknowledging BuzzFeed. That’s worth these many sins. Wait…..Wrong channel.
Love your videos man.
Just graduated with a B.A. in history and I have found my new favorite channel. The algorithm has served me a perfect video for me… thank you Mr. Beat
Mr Beat, please do a Video on the greatest accomplishment of every president (while they were NOT in office) it would be cool
Love the videos and all you do!!
George Washington's favorite book is Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Roderick Rules
And all this time I was thinking Mr Beat was Millard Fillmore. Thanks for clearing it up 😊
Yay a new Every President video! Thanks Mr Beat!
It’s ironic that FDR loves Mickey Mouse. Since at least later in his presidency Walt Disney and his company were staunchly anti-new deal from what I’ve heard and read.
Wonder if JFK would have liked the other Bond films
I think so
Goldfinger is even better than From Russia with Love, so I think he would have loved it.
Oh yes.
I think so. Goldfinger is practically the textbook perfect Bond film, and Thunderball, You Only Live Twice and Diamonds are Forever all make fun big budget spy films (don’t know if he would’ve liked On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, but he might’ve liked it).
Haha! I’ve been waiting for this one!
loved this
You’ve been my favorite CZcams channel for years! Can you do a lesser known 2024 candidates video?
Perhaps a livestream? And thank you so much!
@@iammrbeathey Mr. Beat, it's me... again, I know, aammm I have another awesome idea for your next video about our lovely presidents, and that title for that video will be *„Every President's Favorite Smoke“*
Mr. Beat, Ronald Reagan’s favourite book was “The Printer of Udell’s” (1902) by Harold Bell Wright. Reagan said it was his favourite childhood book and that the main character was his childhood hero. You can definitely say the main character greatly influenced Reagan. The Wikipedia page for the book dedicates the second paragraph to Reagan. Also Reagan’s favourite movies that he starred in were any of the ones where he was portrayed as the hero. I think he only played a villain twice in his entire Hollywood career.
The Searchers, My Darling Clementine and High Noon are a few of my many favorite westerns
you know it's a good day when mr beat has uploaded another video on the presidents
Just about to finish my book “Renegade Royals.” It’s an alternate timeline novel which follows a fictional presidential term of JFK Jr while he is married to Princess Diana. I hope to have it out soon, in the coming months. Would you be up to reading it Mr. Beat?
I would!
Heck yeah
@@iammrbeat when it’s finalized, I’ll find a way to send it to you. Final edits are being made right now. Expect it sometime soon. It’s a political thriller for recent history. Set 1995-2012.
Sounds absolutely crazy
That’s a great premise, I’m in 😂
@@warlordofbritannia not as crazy as King Charles. He tries to remake the British Empire.
Reagan liking Top Gun makes perfect sense.
Well, now that you have covered hobbies and media, I'll have to give it some thoughts on what to ask for next. Very interesting video.
Harry Truman was also an honorary member of the Baker Street Irregulars, a Sherlock Holmes fan club. As someone just got into Sherlock Holmes books I was surprised to find that out.
Mr Beat Never fails to make me edge onside my seat!!
lol
@@iammrbeat OMG THE MAN HIMSELF
Some day, we’ll get every President’s prior jobs/public offices!
Yeah like they’re jobs and what all they pursued and did before they were president
Nada Surf poster in the background! Lurve it! Matthew gave me a poster and signed it when I saw them in Chicago 06 because I couldn’t afford one. Great band, great people.
Jimmy Carter was the first president to screen a X Rated movie at the White House. Which was Midnight Cowboy (that later got revised to R)
Could you do Every US Presidents Height and Weight?
I’m surprised Bill’s favorite book wasn’t Lolita
Ooof 💀💀
Like people actually think he has no other interests besides sex lol . Ridiculous 🤣
I have a feeling you probably haven't actually read Lolita.
@@samgradyfilm no it was just a joke ik Lolita is more complicated than that
Surprisingly, Dwight has the same, Western influenced taste as me! I have been to his home in Gettysburg, I can imagine him sitting, and watching Bonaza! It does make sense that he would like westerns, being born in Texas in the 1890s, along side with his childhood taking place in Kansas, it just makes sense.
9:59 My husband is like that; he was in resource-room classes all through K-12 due to his learning disability (he still struggles with spelling), but now MANY of his online orders are books.
I love your dad joke humor. That said, Better Help isn't a good company to promote...
I also saw that one trendy video this one youtuber made recently and I was wondering how many people in the comments of Mr Beat will care about it. Not many for now... Personally i'm indifferent.
"Does Trump read?"
Neglects to mention The Art of the Deal, which he has followed to a tee.
“Mine covfefe”
Trump's ghost writer for _The Art of the Deal_ has publicly lamented Trump's Presidency and talked about how challenging it was to assemble Trump's incoherent ramblings into a readable book.
There has been a handful of reports that he use to keep Mein Kampf on his night stand.
@@stephennootens916
The fact that he volunteered so readily that he had never read it was definitely sus
@@warlordofbritannia - He claimed that he didn't know who David Duke was, but he instantly knew what Mein Kampf was.
Also, one of Lincoln's favorite books growing up was the memoir Sufferings in Africa by Captain James Riley. (For a more modern and comprehensive version, I recommend Skeletons on the Zahara by Dean King.)
It took me a minute to realize Gerald Ford lived till 2006. But still I was visioning the topics were "while they were president".. don't know why Home Alone threw my mind for a loop.. lol
There is no way Trump has a favorite book
LOL
I know you’re joking, but I imagine it’d probably be something like the Fountain Head
@@Alex-bf3re Donald Trump has never read the fountainhead
His favorite book is probably the art of the deal
Well I heard he may have read mein kampf but it may be a rumor, I can’t confirm
JOE BIDEN CAN READ???
BAHAHA UNDERRATED COMMENT
HELP nah he’d fall asleep reading
He can read better than donnie. He does everything better than him.
I was in a bad mood, had about a half hour to try to get in a good mood before an evening with others, then saw this. Just what the doctor ordered

"You must consume them all."
I actually was checking Audible, and my library for some of those audiobooks.
Thank you.
You're my favorite History CZcamsr, Mr.Beat
An interesting note about Clinton, he actually went on At the Movies with Roger Ebert to talk about the best movies of 1999, I believe, and according to Ebert also said that he tried to see every movie and that the White House screening room was the best perk of the job.
Gorgeous Books mr Beat; best regards from Bogota Colombia. Here we too read and see English production.
Reagan was also a fan of Back to the Future
I haven't seen enough stage shows to pick a favorite, but I will note that I have seen Midsummer's Night Dream and Assassins twice apiece.
I wonder if any future presidents favorite youtuber will be Mr. Beat, I've loved everything I've seen.
This is why MR. BEAT is the best he teaches facts i haven't thought of before, like i was mind blown by the fact that Harry Truman was the first president to watch t .v as president
I like these videos because it reminds me that these people, as powerful as they were, were still people with likes and dislikes and flaws and strengths, and that's a bit too easy to forget.
In a complicated, dark world, Mr beat always blesses us with the most wholesome historical content on the internet
