ynda, it really struck me in watching the video -- i hadn't realized fully that with everything betty ford was going through, that jerry ford had promised the 1974 campaign would be his last, they were thrust into this role so suddenly into the presidency, and you and your family experienced exactly -- not exactly, but in tragic terms, the same sudden emergence, of not having time to prepare for that responsibility. how did it affect you as a member of the first family and your mother? lynda: well, i went from being the college sophomore at the university of texas, living in a dorm with 300 girls -- those were the days when women lived in dorms with only women. [laughter] lynda: very different. a whole new world. [laughter] which made it very difficult for the secret service. [laughter] lynda: i eventually -- this was, as you know, november, i finished out that semester at the university, and during that time, the girls did not like the intrusion of the secret service. i was on the third floor.

luckily, we have had history themed them out -- pluck out of we have had that with a jerry and betty ford. [applause] andrea: secretary clinton, you just barked a memory. i remember one night, my husband and i were visiting the ford's in beaver creek. we were there for the world economic forum where he had a bipartisan gathering of foreign policy and economic advisers and formulators. -- former leaders. in what was then the g5. which it was their wisdom to create that organization of great leaders at the western alliance. and of course, japan. then, we were talking that night and he had just been chosen for encourage award from the kennedy library to be awarded by caroline kennedy. he just received it. he said to us, he and buddy were talking about that and he said, this is the highest honor i can have because this tells me that we really did the right thing. and that the kennedy family would choose this award to honor the pardon. that is what it was for. it was for his decision to pardon richard nixon. of finally put to rest for him, at least, the controversy. struck me and watching the

betty ford as the first lady speaking out in favor of the equal rights amendment, it was astonishing. i was living in arkansas. and the work that she did was just like a thunder class. people felt it, believed it were in awe of it. i just thought that took so much grit and guts. we all know about her work on behalf of breast cancer. it wasn't just her openness about it. it was personal to me. my mother's best friend, a woman who lived across the street from us back in the 1960's, came down with breast cancer and nobody talked about it. the children, i was friends with her children and my mother was over there every afternoon just about. we had no idea what was wrong with her. she just didn't talk about breast cancer then. she did died. it was only after she died that i learned what she had been going through. when betty ford came along and that great picture of her in hospital room with her husband and bob hope and that big smile and that perfect hairdo, it was so reassuring and invigorating to have an important person, let alone our first lady who was so open and honest and personal

you have nancy reagan and roselyn carter and betty ford.teresting and powerful, sometimes when first ladies choose to speak about this publicly it can have a huge impact such as betty ford. >> when she had her mastectomy in 1974 it was a big deal because at the time people didn't talk about breast cancer publicly and she was one of the first people along with shirley temple black to talk about it and she insisted. i interviewed ford's press secretary and she insisted on the press release saying exactly what the procedure was and not just a woman's health issue which was common at the time to say. that was a big ground breaking moment. there's some wonderful letters between betty ford and women who were going through similar treatment where she said, you know, have the procedure and move on with your life. it was very powerful at the time and also to the point of president's coming for the procedure, even when betty ford had her mastectomy, president ford came after the procedure -- you didn't want to cause this big hubbub with a president -

privately, but i mean, even when something like this happened to betty ford, it was something that was done privately, and not announced when he visited 37 i'm not sure when that's going to happen, but i would expect limb to go to walter reed soon. >> no, that sounds about right. melania trump has undergone kidney surgery. the white house stressing that this is a benign kidney condition. but she is going to be recovering in the hospital this week. certainly this is something that we're paying a lot of attention to. as she is there at walter reed recovering. we're going to get a live report from the white house after the break. it's just a burst pipe, i could fix it.

i must say that betty ford was -- set the standard, because you have pictures, video, of president fordford at bethesda in his wife's hospital room. she's in bed in a flannel and quilted robe. i'll never forget those pictures. he's sitting on the side of the bed. and she's talking about breast cancer which was not even talked about on television or in movies at the time. so it was a real breakthrough. she and then nancy reagan and being public about their medical -- >> first of all, obviously, everyone hopes the first lady makes a speedy recovery and this is, indeed, benign. my second thought is about how in these moments there are opportunities. mostly educational opportunities. i remember vaguely angelina jolie using her own medical ailments to essentially educate women about breast cancer. i don't know if there's anything of the level that rises here or if there's even an opportunity to do something similar. but these are important moments. there's imagery associated with them. and it can be an opportunity to educate the public about certain medical conditions. >> sam stein, ann guer

when betty ford had her mastectomy, gerald ford flew on marine one and prayed in the aisle of the helicopter with their son for his wife's health. so oftentimes they do not get there until after the procedure's over. >> it melania trump has obviously valued her privacy in previous -- in her previous life and also certainly now in the white house. how common is that for first ladies? >> i think she's an incredibly private first lady, you know, going back to someone like bess truman, we haven't seen a first lady who's quite this private. you know, they do have a 12-year-old son. she talks often about being a wife and mother as her main priority, but i think even michelle obama and laura bush were a little bit more willing to share bits of their personal life. i think this is interesting that this comes on the heels of her most public week. i mean, she made this 11-minute-long speech in the rose garden for her "be best" campaign last week, she planned a state dinner not long before that. we hadn't seen much of her until recently and now to see she was going through all this at the same time i t

. >> nancy reagan had a mass tect tomorrow and betty ford famously had one where she publicly talked about breast cancer for the first time. there's also a moving story about president ford taking marine one to visit her at bethesda and praying with her son mike in the aisle for her health. so i think it's common for the president to show up after the procedure, because of the kind of hubbub that's made about the motorcade. so it makes sense to go after the procedure is done, but it's certainly a very private thing, but many ladies have had to undergo surgery. laura bush had a surgery for a pinched nerve. >> unlike a president, they don't provide a lot of information as far as first ladies are concerned. >> that's true. there's a feel they should be given a certainly amount of privacy, especially in first lady who is so private. that's why i was very surprised they came out and talked about it today. it was really refreshing. >> what about that, sanjay, were you surprised? >> yeah, i guess as well, i was surprised that we had the information that we did have. it came out obviously wh

head medical procedures, nancy reagan, rose lin carter had a benign lump removed from her breast, betty forde 70s as well. it's not unusual but at the same time you can imagine a prolonged stay to avoid, you know, the pictures of a return to the white house if you're not feeling up to walking so well. there could be those reasons why they want to stay in the hospital a little longer. >> yeah. that's an unusual, obviously, situation in that regard. you're dealing with the first lady of the united states. there's all sorts of certain things that go into that. i think that that's very fair and as dr. bernstein pointed out who's worked at walter reed, this is a place where she can have that privacy, also the security within walter reed. this is a hospital that's taken care of the first family in the past, obviously. so the few days in the hospital i imagine for her post operatively should be very comfortable and very well attended. >> doctors, thank you so much. we continue to wish our first lady well and a speedy recovery and get back to the white house soon. thank you both very much. >> thank

but betty ford paved the way when she come out with a release of her mastectomy in 1970 back when breast cancer was not something that people regularly discussed. it is very private. but eventually they do have to release something. when nancy reagan came back from her surgery, she stood in her bathrobe and every clapped for her and everybody has a affinity for the first lady and she's like -- in the polls she's 57% so well liked, compared to her husband's divisive nature and she's been out there a lot recently which make this is specifically kind of surprising. >> is it unusual that the president was not there at the walter reed medical center with her during the procedure and with her immediately afterwards? >> well, often the president is there, but george w. bush was flying back from an overseas trip when laura bush was having a procedure. i think it depends on the severity of the operation. how serious it is. a pinched nerve is not a serious seemingly as this. but i think it is -- it's also indicative of the way their relationship is. they are not as tight knit as the reagans had be
