The addresses dated from 1920 were campaign speeches, most likely delivered from his front porch in Marion Ohio. Harding was the last president to campaign mostly from his house. History has not been kind to Harding but I think he was a decent enough president. His two shortcomings were some poor choices in cabinet appointments and his inability to keep his pants buttoned.
Thank you for posting these speeches. It will take me a while to make sense of the profound paradox which is wanting an American President (who after all is just one person) who in a campaign would express himself like this (and lament the remote possibility thereof): _"I believe in party government, as distinguished from personal government-individual, dictatorial, autocratic, or what not. _*_No one man is big enough to run this great Republic. There never has been one. Such domination was never intended._*_ Tranquility, stability, dependability--all are assured in party sponsorship, and we mean to renew the assurances which were rended in the cataclysmal war. Our first committal is the restoration of representative popular government under the Constitution through the agency of the Republican Party."_ I don't think such modesty and realistic recognition of the limits of the institution of President would make any candidate today, even if they genuinely possessed this modesty, likely to win an election (any election, not even for President) today, when people (as well as politicians), explicitly or implicitly, believe in subscribe to _Caesarism._
I recently discovered a story about a 1921 camping/road trip between President Warren G. Harding and a group of famous people known as "The Vagabonds" perhaps that could be a future video
It's interesting that they were able to make recordings at that time and yet silent films continued until the late 1920s. I wonder why there was such a delay in adding sound to film.
These recordings were recorded directly to discs or wax cylinders. Putting sound to film was a much more complex endeavor as it had to be synced, and optical sound recording on, and reproduction from, film, had not yet been developed.
Search DeForest Phonofilms, Lee DeForest perfected sound on film in the early twenties, but he wanted to retain control of the process, which the movie studios would not accept. The inferior Vitaphone process (sound on disk) was introduced by Warners in 1926, but eventually lost to sound on film.
@@wilburbonzo Ah, Mr. DeForest who was involved in the development of the radio as well. He apparently only had a very limited understanding of how this invention and improvements actually worked.
The earliest known attempt at synchronized sound and film dates back to 1895 and the Edison studios by running the camera and a wax cylinder recorder at the same time. They were not properly synchronized until 1998, over 100 years later. ua-cam.com/video/yiLllxsOuRk/v-deo.html
before i came here, i was hearing every voice recording of every President from Benjamin Harrison to Joe Biden, compacted in a compilation. and boy, once i heard Warren’s voice, my heart sank in surprise. i did not think he had such a deep voice, oh my god-
In the first 25 years of the century politicians would make records of their speeches. After that people became used to seeing sound films of the speeches.
I was a Navy Force for the Zimbabwean Marine Delta Corps in 1954 and I can confirm that the US guys were good to the Germans, they talked funny though like after every sentence they would say “yeaaaa see?” Little did I know that I also ran into the lost battalion from 1918. I was like “what are you guys still doing here!?”
I think Warren G. Harding was an underrated president, I don't support him cheating on his wife and the teapot dome scandal was big black eye on his presidency but his not as bad as many would have you think

I agree Harding made some bad decisions but his not bad as other presidents
There's too much reverb to have been recorded outside on his front porch. Most likely he was inside talking into a horn.
And corruption.lots of corruption
@@raptorfromthe6ix833 Harding was not corrupt. A few of his appointments turned out to be, but Harding was never implicated in any of that.
Also he choked a guy for being corrupt.
I really enjoy the variety of entertainment on the 1920's channel 💕

Will you do one with Coolidge speeches?
That would be a brief video! 😅

America first, I love it.

I hear wee bit of Irish accent in there.
Yes a wee bit
Wise words. Our current legislative body should think long and hard on these words.
somehow warren harding sounds EXACTLY how i expected him to sound
Cool
How dare Mr. normalcy have more recording time than Theodore Roosevelt
A great president
Trump must have borrowed his platform from that first speech on Americanism
Nothing wrong with that! A strong America is a good thing!
nationalitie is the order uf the dey.
I think Warren G. Harding was an underrated president, I don't support him cheating on his wife and the teapot dome scandal was big black eye on his presidency but his not as bad as many would have you think
He porked his mistress and fathered a child with them
Harding knew nothing of the teapot dome scandal.
0:00-1:10
He sure was busy July 22, 1920.
Warren Harding was kind of cute from a distance
His looks have been stated as having help him get started in politics ...along with owning a local newspaper.
remember teapot dome
Teapot Dome and cheating on his wife....
FDR cheated on his wife too. But interning Japanese Americans without consent of congress was much worse than Teapot Dome.

Biden makes Harding look like the smartest man who ever lived.
