Lone Wolves vs. The President? Last THREE Attacks Before Trump
Vložit
- čas přidán 25. 08. 2024
- The July 13th 2024 attack on President Trump is only the latest in many assassination attempts made on US Presidents and presidential candidates throughout American history. In this video, we examine the last three attempts made before that of Trump, when assassins used firearms to try and murder Presidents Gerald Ford and Ronald Reagan.

I always chuckle at the clip of Reagan giving a speech and a balloon pops near by and he calmly says missed me, before carrying on
Yes, absolutely amazing…
He was a was a ww2 war veteran even if his career was unremarkable.
No President has a better sense of humor than Ronald Reagan.
He also had a good one about not using age as a political point in one of his debates
@@TrueCanad1an Walter Mondale. I'll never forget that.
Finally, a real historian discussing a serious matter. The media is doing a terrible job of covering this topic.
MSM is too busy trying to convince everyone that "now" is the worst things have ever been.
The mass media from Murdoch is a Republican newsletter
"serious" matter
@@Rusty_Gold85lolol bro they've been trying to get him killed since before he was elected.
Not meening to sound like I'm supporting political violence but can you imagine how historical events would have been different had Gerald Ford been assassinated in 1975.
Most likely Ronald Reagan would have been the Republican presidental candidate for president.
It stands to reason Ronald Reagan would have defeated Jimmy Carter and became the 39th president of the United States.
As such Ronald Reagan would have never let the Panama Canal Zone be given to Panama.
Also a Reagan administration would not have pulled its support from under the Shah of Iran and as such prevented the Iranian revolution.
This in turn most likely would have prevented the power vacuum that tempted the Soviet Union to invade Afghanistan, which led to the birth of Al Quada and Osama Bin Laden.
Also tge situation in Rhodesia may have gone differently as Reagan as a staunch anti communist would have never let the likes of Robert Mugabe to assume power in Rhodesia .
Just goes to show you how much power one loan wolf with a gun on a suicide mission could potentially wield.
Mark, as an American, I would like to thank you for covering this topic. I can always count on you to avoid sensationalism when giving an analysis on such things, and your astute dedication to historical events like this is appreciated. Thank you sir. Cheers to you.

@@bapples
I don't make this claim but I've heard people say that Sirhan will never be released, simply because of the true circumstances of his actions. It just seems crazy that the current administration/Secret Service has denied Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Secret Service protection during his campaign.
@@wayneantoniazzi2706 I mean, are we sure of that? Based on this weekend I wouldn't presume the secret service is very good at their jobs.
@@levimeyer6126 Obviously I can't be 100% sure, but I'm 99% sure. And if it's not the Secret Service then it's the FBI. The Feds certainly couldn't be all that crazy about these losers walking around loose.
Oh, this past weekend? Honestly I'm not paying too much attention to the aftermath. There's going to be LOT'S of finger-pointing, blame-gaming, and of course the TV talking heads are all on overdrive. I can wait for the official reports.
What i have learnt the past few days is that the Secret Service and Emergency Services in general are quite incompetent.

Bravo, now you finally know real life is not Hollywood movie.
Saw an interview with Reagan, and the thing that upset him the most, apart from others get shot, was it was a brand new suit, and the first time he had ever worn it
I can relate with that TBH
It's probably is a museum collection right now when his other suits have been long discarded.
Hinckley was a college student at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, TX in 1979 and the spring of 1980. I know this because he lived in the apartment behind mine for one school year of the fall of 1979 and the spring of 1980. The day Hinckley shot Reagan, my apartment complex was swarming with Secret Service and FBI agents asking all residents if we knew Hinckley or had any dealings with him. That was one very weird day.
Sirhan Sirhan is still in jail cause he shot a Democrat.
I'm always amused how authorities start banging on doors and asking questions *after* the guy commited the crime and got caught, like, whats that gonna help now.
@@CalgarGTX Exactly! I guess they were trying to find out if Hinckley had any college friends who could give them some insight into why he would try to murder a president.
Mind you, the Secret Service and the FBI were knocking on all the apartment doors within four hours after Reagan was shot. I was very impressed that they found out that quickly that Hinckley not only attended Texas Tech the year before, but that he lived in my apartment complex.
Even more astounding is that was long before we had the internet.
@@chrisblanco6465 Truth.
However, if Reagan had died from his gun shot wounds, I wonder if Hinckley would have ever been let out of prison or the medical facility he spent the last 40 years.
Jerry Parr, the agent in the Limo, the one who said to go the hospital not the White House, became a Secret Service agent after watching a 1939 movie called "Code of the Secret Service" Starring Ronald Reagan.
What a coincidence!

Not this time. This time he is clearly a propagandist.
@@MirekWalus How so?
@@MirekWalus based on what
@@MirekWalusthis has to be sarcasm, mark is always factual to a fault. Not a single video has any sense of bias towards anything other than the facts.
@@keithcozart4617 e.g. he is comparing attempts of actual presidents to former president or wish to be again .
1:52 In fact, Gerald R Ford, the 38th US President, is the only person ever to hold both the presidency and vise presidency of the US without ever being elected to either. As speaker of the US house, he ascended to VP when Spiro Agnew resigned then the president when Nixon departed in shame.
. . . all at the behest of the Cee I Aye ? ? ?
Ford was never speaker. He was minority leader, and Nixon tapped him to be VP after Agnew resigned in disgrace. Once Nixon resigned, Ford moved up.
He was appointed by Nixon after Agnew resigned. Although he was a member of Congress, as the Republicans were the minority party in the house through 1994. Tip O'Neil was the Speaker of the House.
He was the house minority leader. Thanks for that correction.
And funny enough he turned out to be one of our better presidents.
Mark, also as an American, i would like to say thank you as well. All of your work is fact based and you never veer off topic. Thank you and God Bless
He never veers of topic??? Are you serious? His channel is called, wait for it, "War Stories with Mark Felton". Which part of this story was about war? To me, this story was about assassination attempts, not wars.
@@jimmyavpi Easy there Jimmy. There were various assassinations in WW2, just like assassinations have always been in all of history. I for one can give an excellent historian, Dr. Felton, some slack this time. 😉
@@spooderdoggy I have no problem with Mr. Felton at all. I enjoy his videos. What I dislike, is people who leave idiotic comments like the one above. How can the person say Mr. Felton doesn't veer of topic, when his channel is called War stories with Mark Felton. The two words war and stories clearly show a veer from topic.
@@jimmyavpi Fair enough.
@@jimmyavpi This channel is Mark Felton Productions, if you care to look. The channel description doesn't tie it to purely war stories - that's his other channel. Don't be mean to random people for no reason.
I was in High School when Regan was shot. Someone came to the classroom door and knocked, talked with the teacher, and we were soon hustled down to the library, where the only TV in the school was. For about an hour, until time to leave, several classes of students and most of the office staff watched the news as it unfolded. Several of our teachers were Korean War and Vietnam vets, so there was a lot of talk about what might be happening behind the scenes.
I was 8 when JFK was assassinated. It was way more traumatic and tragic than what happened in 1981. It still pops into my mind most weeks 60 years later.
I was a kid when 9/11 happened and it was a very similar experience. A teacher opened the door and said "the world trade has been bombed!". We turned on the TV and watched live as the second tower was struck before realizing what had happened to both towers. Then they came down. School was let out early, parents and teachers were crying openly. One of the weirdest days of our lives because as kids you understand but don't quite understand what was going on. It's been a while past 30 years.
Interstingly regan refused secret service guarding him in the hospital,trusting marines from a nearby ship instead. Makes you think, does it not.
Hm guessing they didn’t have small frame ladies doing protection service back then
@roddydykes7053 I don't think he would have trusted cia or fbi whatever silly policy is in fashion. He did not trust their loyalty as trump should not.
I mean the Secret Service failed him once already. Why give them a second chance so soon?
@@jimbo9305 indeed. And at that moment he did not know if they were really on his side. He probably knew more about jfk assassination than we do
I do contract work at a military base from time to time. My army veteran cousin was surprised and disturbed when I told him it was private security and not MPs or base personnel. His reason: I'd rather have one of my own guarding me than someone in it for a paycheck. I'd take marines, soldiers or sailors over secret service/cia etc
Happy 50th Birthday Dr Felton? 😅 Thanks for enriching all our lives with knowledge
Among Presidential candidates you have Robert F Kennedy and George Wallace
Indeed. I thought of them also.
I thought of them as well, but RFK was in 1968 and Wallace in 1972. Dr. Felton chose attempts since his own birth in 1974.
huey long probably the most pivotal one
@@LTPottengerEvery Man A King!
Thanks for chiming in Mark. Amateur American historians like me, adore you.
What I find most amazing is that neither of Fords would be assassins thought to properly familiarise themselves with their weapons. Your videos are always so well produced with calm and rational analysis of the events. A pity that there are so many others who see events like this as an opportunity to further their political or social aims.
It’s legit chilling to think that if a single thing had gone differently, world history as we know it would be drastically different.

I remember watching the raw unedited news feed from CBS. What impressed me was the Secret Service agent who reached into his jacket and pulled out a 9m.m. uzi complete with folding stock.
Reagan was already away and there was a dog pile of agents on top of Hinkley.
The agent was trying to keep the scrum of reporters back. He screamed
"Get Back!". "Get the F. back!"

Boy, imagine how silly Hinkley felt when he discovered that Foster was gay!
At least we Americans got a good punk rock band name out of the incident. JFA(Jodie Foster's Army). They were investigated by the secret service for choosing that name. 🤣
Only because she hadn't been with Him. See how this works? Some more: watch Taxi Driver and spot the shots that could've been full frontal Jodie. And probably were. No wonder she's down on men.
"Shit!" 🤦
That wasn’t known yet at the time, she was just a child then.
The famous photo taken after the Reagan assassination attempt was used for the cover of Big Ghost Ltd album Griselda Ghost. Very good photo and a very good album
Sir. Well done as always. May I offer a correction. Colt 45 rounds when referenced to the 1911 is incorrect. The round the 1911 uses is a 45 ACP. Though it is probably more of a language issue between you folk across the pond and us in the USA. Keep up the great work.
You should do a doc on the earlier eras of attempts like these. People like McKinley, the 2 Roosevelts, etc.

There was also a serious assassination attempt on President-elect FDR that took place in Miami, FL, on February 15th, 1933. FDR was uninjured, but the mayor of Chicago, Anton Cermak, who was standing next to FDR, was shot and subsequently died from complications of his wound on March 6th, 1933. Also, on November 1st, 1950, President Harry Truman was the target of an assassination attempt in which one police officer was killed and several others were wounded. Fortunately for Truman, the would-be assassins did not get too close to him, as he had been resting at Blair House, which is a guest house located on the White House grounds. At the time, the White House was undergoing renovations; hence, the reason for Truman making use of this location.
@@Dac54 what’s the mayor of Chicago doing in Miami?
@@goldenfiberwheat238 He was on a holiday of sorts; he had suffered for years from ulcerative colitis and was resting in Miami. FDR had returned from a fishing trip in the Bahamas and agreed to meet Cermak to discuss his upcoming presidency and how he would be helpful to Chicago.

Thanks Dr. Felton!
In the early1980's I was asked to photograph a very small private event with James Brady. Despite all his physical problems he still had a fantastic sense of humor.
Reagan was taken to the emergency department at George Washington University hospital. The emergency department is now named for him.

And like who are you to decide that?
John Hinckley Jr. seems repentant and truly remorseful for his actions. He did an interview back in 2022 after his release and gave his reasons why he thinks he is able to be free after what he did. He was also mentally ill at the time of the attempted assassination and his judgment was clouded.

Thank you again for the dedication and hard work, putting these videos together, keeping the truth alive.
wow Mark, you stepped out from WW2
"You best start believing in important historical events, Ms Turner, You're in one!"
He's covered some modern events before. Although he has usually tied them into WW era content. Such as WW2 tanks still used today as an example.
You must be new
When you're a WW2 historian you don't get a whole lot of chances at being in the algorithm's spotlight.
He rarely does, and when he does, they are phenomenal videos! His Cold War stuff is definitely my favorite.
Being from the Midwest I have visited the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum in downtown Grand Rapids Michigan several times, and seen the pistol. If any of you are passing by I highly recommend visiting said museum, it's a wonderful glimpse not just into his life, but also the time in which he lived.
I once visited the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library in Plains, Georgia (I live in North Florida). Sadly I could find nothing about the infamous Attack Rabbit. 😅
😢 When you've lived long enough to see your life become history... and be repeated !:-( 🙏💜⚡
This video is not the period of history that we want from Dr. Felton, but the one that we deserve
It's still period, just the period between 1974 and 1981.
Quality work as always Dr Felton! Learned about assassination attempts I didn't even know about as an American!
Unless you lived through them and remember them first-hand like myself and others in my age bracket or older it's no surprise you haven't heard about them. They were failures of course, and life and events moved on.

Let’s go Mark!! So cool to see you make a vid on this, my favorite historian covering history that occurred just 3 days ago and others from the past.
I do wish you'd gone back to Teddy Roosevelt and included RFK Sr because those are the two situations which I think are most parallel to the latest one. I know RFK was never president but he was a candidate for the office, and I'm certain nobody can dispute that if he'd survived he would've won the election. As for Teddy, (who is the origin of the popular stuffed animal, the teddy bear) he was shot in the abdomen by a lone gunman while giving a speech. Sound familiar? Teddy proceeded to bash his attacker with a stick, and then, refused medical treatment - until he was done making his speech.
The idea that RFK Sr would have been the sure winner of the 1968 election seems like a case of wishful thinking to me. You're going to need to come up with a lot of data to support that, showing that he was well in the lead of the other Democratic candidates and polls showing that he would have beaten Nixon if they were the respective candidates. Even then, any number of events could have intervened to cause his defeat. I say all this as a non-American with no particular bias towards or against either Nixon or RFK Sr.
Poor Gerald Ford. I could never understand how he could inspire hostility in any one. Maybe he should have stayed away from California.
Maybe Ford shouldn't been on the warren commission OR pardoned Nixon for Watergate😮 what was he thinking?
Well, gee... who do you think was trying to kill him? A Charles Manson (run by the CIA, read Chaos by O'Neill) fan girl and an FBI "informant". Those IC 3-letter agencies... they have "Six Ways to Sunday To Get Back At You" says the Senator.
They were jealous that he was Gerald Ford and they weren't.

You forgot one other attack on a President in that time. On 20 April 1979, while on a short vacation trip to his hometown, Plains, Georgia, President Jimmy Carter went fishing on a pond on his farm. Suddenly, a dreaded Killer Attack Rabbit appeared, swimming toward the President’s boat, “hissing menacingly, its teeth flashing and nostrils flared!” The President, daringly, attempted to hit the vicious, killer attack rabbit with a paddle, missing and splashing it with pond water, and driving it away! A White House photographer documented the attack of the rabbit and its repulse! The President was uninjured in his combat action!

Dr. Felton, I appreciate your detailed coverage of the attempts on President Ford, incidents which I recall clearly (as well as others in my lifetime which include JFK, RFK and MLK). These are often ignored simply because Ford was not actually hit.
