Hey everybody! Jon here. I want to thank you so much for subscribing to our Patreon, and I hope I can help return the favor by releasing my brand-new three-part documentary series, REFORM!, in its entirety. If you scroll up your feed (or down? I don’t know Patreon works yet), you’ll also see Parts 2 and 3 waiting for you, completing a three-hour bizarro political odyssey featuring the weirdest people you have ever heard of in your entire life.

You know, some people might tell you that in order to run for president, you have to be taller than five-foot-five. And that you need things called “political positions.” And that you’re not allowed to go on a two-month vacation during peak campaign season. And that you should actually prepare for debates. And that you should actually want to be President. Well, Ross Perot proved them all … right. But not before proving them kind of wrong first!

Surberus

My body is ready

Efren Echavarria

Jon Bois is the greatest documentarian of our generation 🙌🏼

Katy St. Clair

In all my years I would never have thought that Pretty Good would be back, but that it would bring Ross Perot with it. Brings a tear to the eye.

Taylor Mazzocchi

My dreams are manifesting physically in front of my stupid face

Thank you jon. I can't tell you how much I appreciate the videos you make. I've never been so excited to give somebody my money

aleph

Man the subtitles go berserk during the title sequence

Cristina Almaraz

Wait I just saw that the YouTube version has non-autogenerated subtitles but this one does not! Please upload them to the Patreon version too, pretty please! 🙏

That was a very...interesting pronunciation of "matryoshka" at 19:22. That's a real nitpick though, this video is fantastic. Looking forward to watching the other two parts later.

Things that register less to my brain than this: Winning a $10,000,000 jackpot Large scale nuclear exchange Being on fire Telephone pole falling through my house

it's here! it's back!!!

Zane Price

Jon, your work has been a real bright spot in my life.

buoy

this video is pretty good

OhShazbot

Is it possible to get private YouTube links for these? I live by my watch later list so if my only option to watch is in this god forsaken app then I'll probably forget about them

Rob Heaton

I didn’t watch a half hour of some guy narrating charts he made, I watched the whole 45!

ActionJackson

Love the self dig there at 26:50. We see you, Jon

Skellingtor

goddammit jon, you got me to fork over my hard-earned cash. congratulations you wonderful bastard

Nicholas Poer

My takeaway from this is Bois for President 2024, the party name's already lined up (Chart Party) so that's like a 5 day headstart on the Reform Party.

Dylan Harkins

This was fantastic, can’t wait to watch the next two!

Scott Clam

Ross Perot made a huge blunder in '92 by not selecting Clinton as his running mate. He messed up

Simply Leaf

Jon, keeping the next two from YouTube until late in election season is wild

Christy

I reckon 90s Clinton needs more than a 0 on the juice scale

Robert Adams

jon i started watching my freshman year in high school, your videos as well as secret base as a whole have been my go to for my comfort watches over the years i cant express the happiness your content has brought me and the comfort that smooth jazz has provided me even in my darkest days

KittyCapy

Did anyone else notice of all the people running in that election, Jack Gargan had the highest net worth?

Boreal Tempest

Fantastic video. I'm almost exactly the same age as Jon and I watched the 1992 election with a similar sort of fascination. I remember watching some or all of one of his broadcasts on our little rabbit-eared TV. What a weird time.

AzSira

fwiw all subtitles on all parts are non-autogenerated/pre-transcribed, Patreon just incorrectly labels em as autogenerated for some reason!

Cristina Almaraz

Oh wow I didn't notice, that's totally my bad, thank you! Although I can't figure out how to make them show up when I cast on Chromecast but that's a different problem 😅

Jarrett Sarnell

I have (unintentionally) learned that all of the 1st letters of months lined up does spell "Jason"

Adrian Lanspeary

I'd say his presence wouldn’t add anything to the narrative, much like Perot not winning any electoral votes in 92 or 96. The story is based around populism and Stockdale was, perhaps uninformedly, recruited after being a POW for 9 years,. He was very clearly disoriented during, and lampooned after, the debate that surpassed his cultural cache as a Medal of Honor recipient. In other words, I don’t think they thought there was anything to be served by bringing up a vulnerable man in decline.

Cordell Chenault

Yeah, that man's juice is probably still all over the WH

Sam Aronow

"What's up, jerks!?"

Flip Kromer

There was an encyclopedia brown ep that (spoiler alert) hinged on that

burger mason

hmm, today i will watch this video again

Jay D'Moos

Did Canadian Reform play into this?
