- George H.W. Bush used his inaugural address to discuss the drug problem in America, likening cocaine to a deadly bacteria that has hurt the body and soul of the country. He was was sworn into office on January 20, 1989.
Fun fact: 4 days after this, Ted Bundy would be executed.
Ted buddy and George w bush age is only one year apart
Colin Bages More like 4 months
Good riddance.
Wonder if they allowed him to watch this
@HillMaster85
Rightfully so.
Back days when democratic and republicans respect each other on the stage right after campaign.
bless.u.41
1989.
Now it is only republicans that respect one and other
We've come a long way still when they'd challenge each other to duals.

Unlike watching these older videos, Because of that, because now everything is so ugly.
This is a real American President. The first President I was really aware of when I was growing up. A dignified and intellectual figure. I hope America can get back to this style of leadership.
Hate to say this these days are long gone politics are destroyed
My mother actually met him in the early 90s before I was born. I still have a photograph of him and my mom at an airline to this day. He is truly timeless. Still one of the most unforgettable leaders in our nation's history.
He was a wonderful class act. That’s for sure
@@islanders1329fan you have no idea the darkness within this person

@@CrisisMoon7 He was the butcher of Iraq. He deserved to be trailed for war crimes he committed during the gulf war
I have a soft spot with great respect towards him and his family despite being more of a Democrat, and blessed to have met his granddaughter Barbara Pierce Bush in Atlanta earlier in the year and what a golden memorable moment meeting her. I always remember how President GH W Bush or Bush Senior visited my Alma mater Birmingham-Southern in 1989 May for something for an Environmental Act. I pray my Alma mater stays with crisis currently going on financially.
3:18 look how young W. was there!
I don´t think he has changed that much!
Jack Son he looks like Will Ferrell’s Bush
He looks older than his dad
He thinking inside his head: "I can't wait to win in 96." Only for his father to lose in 92.
@@andrewtran7580 no, he doesn't.
What a wonderful speech. SO well put, everything he said. As a German, I am very thankful for his presidency.
I loved visiting your country Germany in 2012 and i a US citizen.
This man is one of the greatest public speakers the world has ever known
And a great man! God bless you 41!!!!

@@radscodyp1233 you’re such a hypocrite and this is why I hate Republicans as much as I hate Liberals. Bush HW was involved with Regan in going behind Congress back and selling weapons to Iran with Ollie North. Like Obama did. These people are hypocritical and supporting them just means you’re letting the nostalgia get in the way.
He spoke of timeless concepts. This speech is one of them.
One of the last great President's. I remember him as a child. Even though I became a democrat. This is one Republican President I would have voted for. No human is perfect, but you can tell this man was of goodness. R.I.P Mr. President
He did some crazy bad stuff to keep the Middle East using the dollar
and all comments that include passing of tihs man are not good MR @RD

@Nick I am not from United States, but I love G.H.W.Bush🇺🇸41, R.I.P.
I miss this kind of Republican Party. Back when they and Democrats may not always see eye to eye, but they always believed they can work stuff out together and stay unified for the sake of the country’s democracy and laws and constitution.
Sad this won’t be coming back.
Well when the democrats have moved very very far to the left of dangerous properations yeah hopefully it will never happen again when they are as far left currently
Far left? if they actually moved far left, we would have universal Healthcare and free college
It's the Republican party that moved to straight up fascism
@@irishspagetti6565 Would it be fair to say the Democrats today are more like the Republicans from back then?
Such an underrated president no one ever appreciates what he did for this country
That "NEW WORLD ORDER" he always held so high. Told of his true intention. NWO will be socialist goverment and we real Americans will not fall for it. We will not support its evil hands or feet. We the people are familiar with it's tounge. And Bush spoke with it's tounge. And so did his son. This was when so many good christians where asleep.
@@madenthecountrybabylikegri1261 yep. After cold war US presidents became weaker. They are not as comparable as before. US could have crushed China in 1990s but missed that opportunity.
RIP BUSH
We are gonna miss you
Your fan from Saudi Arabia
1 Year after his death, we will never forget 😭😭😭😭
Amen ❤️💙✨

He never had a pandemic in his life
Rest easy, Mr. President. Thank you for your service to our beautiful country.
Always loved him for the tribute he paid to President Reagan at the very start of the speech. You can tell the affection is genuine.
George HW is one of the most under appreciated presidents
RIP George H. W. Bush [1924 - 2018]
Incredible man
I respect and admire you very much Mr President George H W Bush one of the greatest Presidents Thank you so much for your service and God Bless you!
Bush RIP, now you're with your lovely wife. You two will be missed.
Amen to that. One of this country's most underrated presidents of all time.
Divya Dijay indeed. one of the biggest cocaine importers in the world
One of the biggest war crimes in history, indeed a great man. The only reason he stayed alive for so long is because even Satan doesn’t want him
He's in a better place!!
Not only that, but Bush and Barbara are reunited with Reagan and Nancy!
What a inspiring, powerful speech. This man was a man of principle and dignity
He always is. We must bring him back
This is how a real man speaks.
Such an underated President Rip George HW Bush.
RIP Mr. President thanks for showing us what leadership and character look like.
Rest in peace mr. President and Godspeed
America back in those days seem so peaceful and just. Mr President, R.I.P
Just be strong and courageous for the Lord never forgets you.
RIP, George Herbert Walker Bush, a courageous, humble, and dignified public servant. Over the last few years, authoritarianism and isolationism have crept back into the Western world. We should view this speech today as a clarion call to defend the values of liberal democracy and the international institutions that secure them.
Why can't we have person like this again! Do we not have anyone comparable to this anymore in United States?
No not really he was the model American, him and R. Reagan
Thank you and rest in peace George H.W. Bush. When he said peaceful and prosperous time in his speech (while the Cold War was coming to an end). This is truly something I miss about putting someone in charge of our nation. Thank you for your military service Bush and God Bless.
He and Ronald Reagan were amazing
Watching this while watching President Bush's State Funeral
#RIPGeorgeHWBush
You served America throughout your life and i salute you for protecting our nation.
Thank You President Bush!
It’s 2024 and I can still confidently say that this man was the very last great President we’ve had. President Bush was a great leader and a tremendous human being. If you look at his resume, he expanded voting rights, had a tremendous foreign policy, and paved the way for Americans with disabilities to gain employment. He was an American hero and he’s sorely missed. RIP President Bush ❤
One of the last real presidents with a sense of humor.
'the totalitarian era is passing'
29 years on, sadly that brief optimism is gone
today we have Xi, Putin, Erdogan, Duterte and other Autocrats
It’s awful too that MAGA has taken over the Republican Party, and those who support MAGA also think Putin is a respectable guy…
r.i.p bush
PSAT brought me here
Same. That speech was truly profound
yup
Whats PSAT?
Kostas Kossivakis a test for kids in Texas (or maybe the whole country idk I live in Texas) to practice the SAT
Ah ok thanks
Loved the part about unity and bipartisanship. "The American people await action. They didn't send us here to bicker."
As someone born during Bush 41’s last full year in office, it was a real mind blower to see Bush 43 and Jeb so young
He was a smart and articulate man. Too bad his son was a complete doofus.
Rest In Peace Sir!
RIP Barbara Bush.
They're now both together. RIP Barbara and Bush Sr.
To me,he is the greatest president in the past decades
Ben T Same here. I like him more than all of his successors.
rip george bush
President George H W Bush I was just a baby when you were president, but you seemed like a really nice guy
Key points:
-The free-market should govern us to a greater extant
-We should cut social support programs
-Moral corruption is to blame, we should be sending more people to prisons
-The country will prosper, but you will have less. turn to Christianity for comfort through the coming hardships
-We're going to start another unprovoked war in a vulnerable country with valuable resources, don't compare it to Vietnam
Rest In Peace President George Herbert Walker Bush. Thank you so much for your absolutely wonderful service to this great nation of ours! You will be truly missed! You and Barbara fly high!!!!!
George HW Bush is such a Great Man!
God fearing man and a good father..I pray my kids will talk about me at my funeral they way your son did at yours...rest in peace no. 41
Great speech by such an underrated POTUS
Heck no the man led the country through a war
He did have a 89% approval rating after the Gulf War and kicking out Saddam etc. Only surpassed by his son, George W., following 911 and having a 91% peak approval rating.
RIP George H.W. Bush. Thank you for serving the country's president.
What an amazing president. It’s a shame that even with a 70% approval rating, he still lost reelection.
Awh man who’s gonna be the one to turn up everything at the bohemian Grove without HW??
Him, Barbara, Robin And Ronald Reagan are seeing each other again
In my heart George Bush is my President forever. ❤️
You wrote was twice in your description cbs news.
6:53 this part of the speech really exemplifies the generation that HW was part of, when community meant something
Happy Birthday His Majesty President George Herbert Walker Bush ( born 12th June 1924 ).
I consider You as my grand father.
Best Regards.

I cried watching this. As an Independent with both Conservative and Liberal views and someone who loves the presidents. He is my favorite president of all time and third favorite person to have ever walked this earth (2 being Apostle Paul, and 1 being Jesus). I wish I could’ve met him.
For his age at the time
He looking damn fine
I just read that he passed away yesterday. :( Rest in peace, Mr. President.
Now that his beloved "New World Order" has almost taken over the entire world, I imagine that he is RIP. None of ther rest of us will, however.
As for me, I will only rest when his fellow Nazis join him.
@@privatenumber6015 You are crazy
I like as he said in his speech “We know what works: freedom works. We know what right: freedom is right”
I've said it before I'll say it again, Bush and Ford despite being Republicans seemed to always have a bipartisan attitude when it came to many thing's. Their personalities are what I strive to emulate.
RIP Mr. President. You were and will always be my hero. I hope you get Barbara and Robin a big hug from all of us as Americans. War Hero and President
Beautiful times. I thank God.
Modest presidents so rare nowadays, just saying. He is the best type of politicians that people can hope for.
How far we have fallen. This speech is almost unbelievable given what we hear today.
Kinder, gentler, simpler times for me. I want to be inspired by those times as I keep moving forward.
If you close your eyes, you hear Ned Flanders.
If you plug your ears you'll see Ned Flanders
Can someone explain how someone can give a speech to this caliber. Is it memorized?
Rest in Peace to a great man wish we had someone with your dedication and love for this country to step up today
What an extraordinary truth.
RIP 41
Does anyone else get any major Ned Flanders vibes from George H. W? No hate, just thought it was funny I finally realized who he's reminded me of.

EisenhowerRepublican yes
oh he passed on?
9:00 Amazing, we learned that. We must have forgotten again.
Serious question, but why did Barbara Bush look so old. 2:23 I mean she's 64 here. Other than the body movement which seems fine, if you'd told me she was in her 80s here I wouldn't bat an eye.
After Robin's death both George and Barbara went through a hard time and her hair grew gray prematurely.
The election of George HW Bush was the first news story I remember as a child.
Back when Republicans had sanity and decency.
RIP 41
They were the only party to have it
@nate Kennedy’s were decent politicians
@@nate-ds9tg
Truman? Kennedy? Ummm. Uhhhh. Frick, the list ends there
I call these guys The Old Guard. We need today's leaders to be like them.👍
🇫🇷🇷🇺🇮🇹
How did he not feel cold only wearing a suit? The temperature then should be around -10 celsius look at what reagan was wearing and bush only wore a suit how did he not feel cold.
Reagan is confused😂 like what? I didn’t do anything good 😂
he didn't know where he was the last 2 years
I was in first grade during the '89 inauguration. Several weeks later, Jerry Jones would purchase the Dallas Cowboys, fire legendary coach Tom Landry on a golf course, and hire his former Arkansas teammate Jimmy Johnson as the new head coach.
Fun Fact HW was the first “Ivy League”President since Kennedy
Omg this is just some refreshing words. In a world where words become so DARK.
Lord I ask that you raise up more leaders like this. God bless America
Rest in peace George H W Bush 1924-2018
My favorite president
January 20, 1989 - January 20, 1993 4 years.
Mabuhay Kayo late President Ronald Reagan and late President George W. Bush... Mabuhay ang America!!!!!!!
God Bless Gorge Bush , He was a very wise president . God bless him
A very practical speech from an underrated president.
I miss this guy already but I'm glad he saw the Astros won the world series
30 years ago
RIP Mr. President
This man must have been horrified by Trump and what became of his party.
Wow! I was 5 then and in kindergarten. What a time.
Time flys
What does he mean by "A Thousand Points of Lights" ?
16:06 listen he talks about talking candid and subtle then says will stay close to the Soviet union in national security
18:13 he says he looks for more tolerance which today we have to much...
This is the 17th of 100 famous speeches that I'm watching to make research on public speaking. At last, after two hundred years of free expression and free thought, US presidents have learned to memorize their inaugural speeches. The proud nation, decent and civil, may respect its president for his duty, sacrifice, commitment, and patriotism. Before watching Bush, I'd thought that Reagan was the greatest windbag, but now I have to change my mind. No matter how clearly a man can articulate his words, if he reads them from the paper he's always gonna be outshined by those who dare to rely on their memory.
1. I expect he had teleprompters.
2. This is not the complete speech. See if u can find an uncut version. U will know it is uncut if it contains the words, the New World Order," probably in the latter half of the speech.
He seems a nice honest down-to-earth guy shame we can’t say the same thing about his son. his son was an awful president and from what I’ve seen of him.
Washington DC is a very different place today. George H.W. Bush was an average President who would have been re-elected if he had not broke his campaign promises of No New Taxes. He was a very great man. RIP.
Darren Krock He had no choice. Reagan had tripled debt, going from USD 997 billion to USD 2.85 tn. in just 8 years. The cost of economic growth.
