ford museum. so that night, he goes back to the white house, and he schedules a meeting with president ford. and neither of them sleep much, and they schedule that press conference, and then ron ziegler calls and says, he has changed his mind, and he does not want to sign that statement, but the original statement. and he said, that is fine. i will tell president ford, and he is going to cancel the press conference today. and ziegler backed off. so at exactly 11:00 that morning, the president sat in his office and granted the pardon which you saw in the video, and what you could not tell at the other end of the camera that whole time was bentop becker, one of the few people who knew everything that happen here. so, i'm going show you now a brief clip that tom brokaw who was the news anchor for mn bshgs c did for us in 2014, and he covered the pardon for nbc as these events unfolded 40 years earlier, and here he is as he is talking about the recollections of that incredible time. >> how will i reme

ford daughter susan ford bales. >> thank you and welcome everyone. you know, today many people call washington a swamp. day, but back with when the ground breaking began in 1790 and the white house itself is situated on top of the hill, and just like capitol hill, there's literally a physical hill underneath the white house. the white house looks down in historical time on swampy land historical time on swampy land i like to call it the three bs, bare, bleak and brown. when john adams moved in in 1800. and the period accounts go on to state visitors from that time described as, i believe the it was a barren, stony, unfenced waste. it was not a great looking place simply because it was a construction site for so many years -- >> well, but the world was used to the european standard of fabulous palaces and manicured gardens. and europe, which had been around for centuries building up its public places, it sounds to me like the early white house is what george washington would have wanted, something simple. an executive mansion, not a palace. >> that's

were you even aware, did you even know what the ford foundation was?ad no idea what the ford foundation was. i didn't know what policy was. but i knew that i was a lucky child. and i always felt my country was cheering me on. >> stahl: walker fears that kids living in poverty now don't feel cheered on by their country. so, after he was chosen to lead the foundation in 2013-- he'd been a vice president before that-- he did something radical: >> walker: all of our grant- making in the u.s. and around the world... >> stahl: he announced that every ford foundation grant moving forward would have as its mission fighting inequality in all its forms. >> walker: inequality is the greatest harm to our democracy because inequality asphyxiates hope. >> stahl: his argument is that generosity is insufficient. the real goal of giving should be justice. what's the difference between generosity and justice? >> walker: generosity actually is more about the donor, right? so, when you give money to help a homeless person, you feel good. justice is a deeper engagement whe

ford and general motors and stellantis are all moving to the upside here.looking at some of the electric -- actually, stellantis is just flat. let's listen to the president and hear what his executive order will have. >> i -- before i begin, let me start with something, i apologize, more somber. i learned a couple hours ago when my staff came in that a close friend of mine, and i think of many of you as well, richard trumka, died today from a heart attack. the reason i was a few minutes late are coming out, and aa apologize for that, i was talking to his wife and to his son who called. he wasn't just a great labor leader, he was a friend and a friend of yours too, debbie, i think, and he's someone i could confide in, and you knew whatever he said he'd do, he would do. it was simple, tommy. you knew him well as well. he was already there. he was an american worker. always fighting for working people, protecting their wages, their safety, their pensions and their ability to build a middle class life. i also believe that the meddle class built -- middle class

gm and ford are level three. i think we are years away. the experts say level five technology -- keep in mind that tesla has been selling this technology since 2015. elon musk said every car we have -- we are making will have the capability for level five self drive. i don't know why he would say that. at the height of covid, they wanted to make ventilators. they did not make one later. gm and ford did. when you make these aggressive claims, it can be more than just promises. people need to potentially look at this. >> tesla is any for some sort of investigation. when it comes to full self-driving, the turns of phrases used by tesla, we know that elon musk is by nature a bit of a showman. that is what it has always been about with the company. you say they have a negative side. what is the positive side to getting people to see this vision? >> i don't know the full answer to that. i think that is one dynamic. i think the engineers are going to potentially look at these prior promises and miss them and be a little turned off. i think that i

president ford speeded it up. but president ford did not tell us any of that at the time. president ford did not say a public word about the evacuation while it was going on or immediately after its end. not one word. and not one word about the deaths of those marines in the evacuation of vietnam. today when tragedy struck in afghanistan and 13 marines were killed, 18 marines were injured, president biden said this. >> i bear responsibility for fundamentally all that's happened of late. >> the pentagon estimates that at least 60 afghans were killed in the suicide bombing outside the airport in kabul. president biden's first message today was one of con dolly ens to the families and to the loved ones of the marines who were killed. >> my heart aches for you. i know this. we have a continued obligation, a sacred obligation to all of you, families of those heroes. that obligation is not temporary, it lasts forever. the lives we lost today are lives given in the service of liberty, the service of security, the service of others and the service of america. >> the president's se

days before the last american helicopter left saigon, leaving thousands of our allies behind, the ford administration was able to evacuate a total of 7000 people. the biden run of evacuation as well on its way to evacuating many more people than the american military was able to evacuate from vietnam in the final days. in vietnam, the americans were being driven out of the country out gunpoint. in afghanistan, so far, the taliban have not fired a shot at the american military. in both desperate last minute evacuations, the american military did its very best. the final days in both countries are filled with stories of american military heroism but there are demonstration of the military inability to invade a country, spent 20 years losing a war, and then evacuating in a way that meets with the approval of an american news media filled with people who think they know how to do was the american military has never been able to do. what you are not hearing in any of the critical analysis of how the biden administration and the american military have handled the evacuation of afghanistan, i

senator kennedy never criticized president ford for leaving them behind. senator kennedy never said he had a better idea about how to manage the evacuation of american troops and american allies from a war that we lost. the democrats did not attack republican president gerald ford for how he handled the exit from a war lost by democratic and republican presidents. the governor of georgia, who was an annapolis graduate and a navy veteran, was running for president on the day that the last american helicopter left vietnam, and he did not criticize. how republican president gerald ford managed that evacuation, because jimmy carter knew there was no good version of an evacuation from a lost war. no one was surprised by the chaos and the dishonor of the american final exit from vietnam. the world was not surprised. every day of the vietnam war was chaos, including the final day. just a year after the evacuation from vietnam, at the democratic national convention in his acceptance speech for his presidential nomination, jimmy carter said this. >> i've never had

, where the uaw workers like bernie are building the first-ever electric ford 150. the best part is, i got to drive it. and it's incredible, just like the other vehicles behind me. they are a vision of a future that is now beginning to happen. a future of the automobile industry that's electric. battery electric, plug in, hybrid, fuel cell electric. it's electric, there's no turning back. the question is whether we will lead or fall behind in the race for the future. it's whether we will build these vehicles into the batteries that got them to where they are here in the u.s., or we have to rely on other countries for those batteries. whether or not the job to build these vehicles and batteries are good paying union jobs, jobs with benefits, jobs that will sustain continued growth of the middle class. they have to be, they have to be made here in america. right now, china is leading the race. and it has one of the largest and fastest growing electric -vehicle markets in the world. a key part of the electric vehicle, to state the obvious, is the battery. but right now

the president looks to car companies like ford to lead the way. >> ford will invest $30 billion by 2025 for a portfolio of vehicles in the thing they will have in common, they will do things gas vehicles never did. >> this is a watershed moment to transition customers from gasoline engines to electric. >> reporter: the ford f-150 lightning will hit the streets in 2022. in palo alto, dustin dorsey, abc7 news. >>> with no electric cars on the way, how are electric car owners going to get them charged when they are out and about? joining me to discuss that now, the president and cofounder of volta. you folks make charging stations. it can take a while to charge a car fully, 30 or 40 minutes. you see time speeding up as we go forward with more manufacturers jumping in? >> thank you for having us on and i appreciate the question. i was down there in the previous segment, sing the ford truck. it is pretty cool. i think one of the things to keep in mind is how you think about fueling fundamentally will change and you are not trying to replicate the gas station experience and say i have to fuel

this was a ford car. it's from the lincoln division of ford. it was actually designed by an italian company, gia, and the particular stylist who came up with this concept, a guy named phil schmidt, got the idea when he was diving. snorkeling or scuba diving. does this look like any underwater animal to you? a shark maybe? he got the idea for this car from seeing a shark when he was diving underwater. does this car look forward to anybody? like from a 1960 tv series? the automobile stylist george barras got ahold of this car, and in the 1960s, abc-tv approached him about designing a car for their new tv series. he only had two or three weeks to do this, but he took this car out of storage and created the batmobile. he used the car as a template for the batmobile car. so this'll give you another idea of how concept cars which harley earl really pioneered were used by automobile makers and automobile stylists. so those were some of harley earl's contributions. he really, he was a maverick stylist who pushed the envelope of automobile style to infl

so he began planning it with bob and charles ford. bob ford is here on the right. on april 3rd, 1882, they were in jesse's cabin planning this robbery when jesse noticed a needle work on the wall was crooked. it was one his mother had made, had stitched. so he pulled a chair over and stood on the chair to straighten it, and he heard the cocking of a pistol. bob ford cocked his pistol so jesse turned his head to look at him. as he turned his head bob shot him. the bullet entered below his right ear. he was killed instantly. his wife and children were in the next room. they came rushing into the room to see what happened. bob fled immediately. his brother charles was also there. charles stuck around for a minute or two trying to convince them the pistol had gone off accidentally and he eventually turned and ran as well. now, interestingly enough, the picture here in the middle shows bob ford and jesse james together. last october a woman came forward and said that her grandmother -- this was a family picture they were handing down, and she claims that, you know, this

why doesn't ford go back there?: i think we have proven with our technology you don't need to have that big of an engine and you suck at the same capability. the navigator is a vehicle that tows bows, horse trailers, you name it. this is a very capable vehicle. we just need that kind of power to do the job for this vehicle. matt: you get the same power numbers. you are giving us the horsepower and torque and you can crank them out with the eco-boost or the 3.5 the v-6. -- leader v-6 -- liter v-6. what timeline should we be looking at? joy: we have announced we are electrifying our lineup. the whole company announced we have $30 billion investment in electrifying the lineup. we are looking for going all electric with evs at thinking. week -- lincoln. we think that's a few years out, not far but just a little bit. we will be looking to announce more about our plans about that later. matt: i love the hybrid powertrains. i would always prefer to have a gasoline engine as a range extender if possible. when you give the 2
