darren: i went to ford as a vice president. ford was a much larger foundation.about three times the size of rockefeller. so it was a lateral move, but i had a bigger remit. david: ok, so ford was looking for a new president and you were one of the candidates. and as i understand it, you went into the interview and said, i'm going to change this completely if i get this job. i'm going to focus on social inequality and make everything dealing with social inequality our focus. is that right? darren: yeah, so what i said was, the foundation was too disparately organized, and we had lost our focus, and that we needed a single north star for our work, which we did not have, and really never had. david: when you got the position, ford announced, guess what, we're going to focus only on inequality and so forth. what did your typical recipients of your aid say? darren: part of it is stepping back and asking, why did we focus on inequality? the reason i believed in equality was important was because of our mission. a part of our mission as established by henry ford ii, wa

in the ford foundation case, ford famously got off the board because he was not happy with the ford foundationu reengage the ford family. was that -- you reengaged the ford family. was that hard to do? darren: he was unhappy because the work we did in the american south to support efforts to deem illegal discriminatory practices. southern dealers felt the displeasure of southern consumers. henry ford ii was hearing that consumers didn't want to buy our cars. he decided to leave. we have been independent of the ford family and ford motor company for over 6 decades. i believed it was critically important for us to reengage the ford family. this is where the money came from! it was important to reengage with the city of detroit. that is why we played a pivotal role in that bankruptcy. re-engaging with the ford family was easy. martha firestone ford is one of the most amazing people i know. 2 years ago we elected henry ford iii, the grandson of henry ford ii to our board. david: a lot of prominent people when they get to be 60, 70, 80, they would set up these foundations. now people are getting we

ford? >> i think that when my husband was serving as president of the united states, i felt that i could be a sound board. i had the feeling that as i went around to public functions, i could hear with the people were feeling, and saying. i could carry it back to him as the -- what's was out there for him to take in and kind of combine in what he was hearing from his cabinet. i think that a president is often so protective of those people around him, and their cabinet, that he does not have a good feel for the common, every day, monday in, day today stuff that is going on outside of the walls of the white house. that was one thing that i thought that i could benefit for my husband. i was of course very active in the equal rights amendment, and i did try very hard to influence him on women's issues. i did it. i managed to do a pretty good job of when it came to naming a woman to the supreme court, he finally left me in the background, and went ahead and chose a man. it was quite a disappoint

my name is betty ford and i am the co-founder and president of the betty ford center board of directors in rancho mirage, california. the betty ford center was open in 1982 as a chemical dependency recovery hospital. it is an 80-bid freestanding facility providing treatment through impatient outpatient and family programs. we also offer a professional and residence program to help educate doctors nurses and other health care providers about the disease of addiction. since its inception the goal of the betty ford center has been to provide the highest quality care possible at the most reasonable cost possible. the steps that led to my involvement in the development of an operation of the betty ford center, maybe known to some of you. if i had not found recovery from my own addiction to prescription drugs and to alcohol, i would not have lived to see this day. i would not have lived to see three of my children be married. i would not have experienced the joy of being the grandmother of five wonderful granddaughters. i know that treatment works that it saves lives because it saved mine. af

this is ford. i'm sure there'll be some questions from the audience if you'd be happy to answer any i can i'll try we would like to begin. this is for those wondering if you had any regrets about the time that you had in the white house. know that you wanted to do so many things or there's that you well. i really had i guess i had the regret of when my husband lost the election. that was my biggest breederate. but in some ways as i look back. you know, i'm a fatalist. i believe things happen. as they were meant to be i have a strong faith in my higher power. oh my coaches to call god. and those things probably the interview of 60 minutes. which i did. and it focused on susan and our daughter at that time who was only 18? and marley savor came out of the blue from someplace. i don't know. i guess i he thought i was a patsy or something and and said well, you know, what are you gonna to do? no something about? what would you do if you found out susan was having an affair? and i was just kind of flabb

how does ford and gm compete with that?> it is something top of mind for them, they are trying to catch up. we have said that tesla is ahead of the rest of the legacy auto industry. not only on ev's, but in creating the software defined via. we do see them closing the gap with more compelling product coming out of the legacy automakers. ford and gm are starting to narrow that. looking at the mock eve from ford, it is starting to take share away from tesla in the u.s. but the reality is that we do expect tesla to maintain the lead for the foreseeable future underscoring in our model the sharp continued rise of tesla volume through the coming decade . by 2030 we have them reaching 7 million in volume. >> we will be watching those numbers closely, dan. thank you so much. and the potential sale of elon musk shares for to tesla is something that shares of tesla to fund the purchase of twitter is something the market is thinking about. this is bloomberg. ♪ jon: this is "bloomberg markets." for what it's worth, how about 44 billio

i was six years at ford. i think that's a pretty good run but the point is, i never wanted to be a caretaker. i didn't want to have a job just to have a job. i wanted to do substantial things and hoover is a great example. we doubled visitation. we created a whole series of programs. we literally physically reinvented the place, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, and i say i. it wasn't i. a lot of people who are willing to buy into that more ambitious vision. >> staying on the schedule of your life, after 2001, after dole, after lawrence, kansas, what then? >> lincoln library, in springfield, illinois, which of course was not open, and it was already -- put it this way. it's not part of the national archives system. it's run by the state of illinois, which was both its salvation and its burden. salvation in the short term, because the state of illinois at that point, believe it or not, was feeling flush, and the governor, governor ryan very generously almost on a whim said basically we'll pay for it. well, they

john lawler, the ford motor cfo. the problem right now is not with demand so much, it is with supplying these vehicles, getting them made. tom: i think this is an important point. i have been remiss in not bringing this up. i saw some bloomberg data this week -- i think liz ann sonders brought this to me -- the number of days from shanghai, pacific rim over to america to deliver the stuff from asia is still the same ugly number it was not that long ago. the supply issue has not gone away. jonathan: china the weak spot. the pandemic restrictions and the access to chips still a big factor. lisa: but they can offset that with price increases. to me, one of the most notable things he said was that there still is incredibly strong demand and they will continue to probably raise prices throughout the year because of this. how much can they do this before you get pushback, considering the fact that this is a supply shortage, it is fundamental, and it is across-the-board, and the issues in china are only exacerbated? jonatha

ford may be charging into a battery-powered _ out.attery-powered future, but| a battery—powered future, but the road to electrifying the american market seems to have onlyjust begun. samir hussein, bbc news, dearborn, michigan. let's get some of the day's other news. south korea's economic growth has nearly halved in the first quarter of the year, from the previous three months. gross domestic product grew 0.7% in the first quarter, from the last quarter of 2021. that's as consumers and companies both cut spending amid coronavirus curbs and surging inflation. s&p has downgraded sri lanka to "selective default". the ratings agency said the decision was made after the island—nation missed an interest payment on some of its dollar bonds. sri lanka's economic troubles began in 2019, when the government introduced large tax cuts that depleted its coffers. it is now seeking financial assistance from the international monetary fund. coca—cola has reported a jump in quarterly profits. the soda giant raked in $2.8 billion, up 24% from the same

i mean that the caricature of ford. again, good old jerry. turns out he was a lot more -- i think to myself, for example, i wrote a chapter about the warren commission, which upends much of what we thought we knew, at least about ford's -- the fact of the matter is ford, very late in the game, was the member of the commission most inclined to believe that there could be a foreign conspiracy. and that, of course, runs counter to what we know in his later years when he was the last surviving member and therefore the defender of the commission. but i found his questions, page after page after page of questions that he directed to witnesses, to the staff, to other investigators. and i thought to myself, you know, this guy would have been a really good courtroom lawyer. and of course, and there's -- it turns -- that's why when he was a very young like third-term congressman, the old bowls asked him to sit on the seat of the oversight committee because a, they trusted him, he wouldn't shoot off his mouth, no staff, no notes. but most important, the

up next part six of that conversation which focuses on president ford, the media and talk show host jack hart. >> the importance in our country. the supreme court. >> well, you know, like many americans i revere the court it is a fascinating political development and significant impact on our politics and presidential politics and in the last generation or so a discernible difference has emerged. on the right the court is seen as absolutely essential. and, indeed, any number of more traditional republicans, for example, are willing to go along with the trump presidency. specifically because of the court and because, first of all, because of the justice he put on the court and the expectation if he serves a full term, yet alone two, that he'll have additional opportunities to shape the court along conservative ends. for some reason conservatives have a strategy, a long-term strategy and a passion about the court. which traditionally and it's relative is less innovating on the left. and i don't fully understand it because the court at its rulings are every bit as important on the left and

he said ford. quote this ambition pleasingly which is a nice way of i'm it i mean and i also there are parallels. with ronald reagan, you know. there are worse things in politics than being underestimated. if you if you're secure enough about yourself. not not to make an issue out of that. good old jerry. was in some quarters i put down. turned out good old jerry. got himself into the vice president see and and i'm not suggesting. our aspired to to to the to higher office he didn't. but he was ready. when it came and the interesting thing. i mean one of the interesting thing about ford is and and this what a biographer sort of dreams of is that there are rooms in that mansion rooms in that house that we haven't. visited yet. and it's made for much more interesting. process except process of discovery at this point the expected date of publishing. yeah. we really want to get it out in 2020. just before the election. and i think i don't have to say to draw a contrast. i mean adult president but a com

the ford book, i don't mind saying, the ford box has its genesis with numerous years ago now. we were sitting at the hey adams. wonderfully historic atmospheric hotel across from the white house. where henry adams america's greatest historian, there's someone once lived. >> the greatest. >> i think parkman is certainly -- i think a nevadaens wrote an eight volume. that's something that's missing today. no one publishes multivolume anything. the exception that proves the rule. there are any number of people deserving of that kind of treatment. but the publishing world doesn't permit it. and maybe it's good or bad, but i still read lincoln. i know that as serious flaws, particularly the first two volumes, which is more poetry than had history. but it's hypnotically readable. morris, simply to read his tr three volumes written over a period i'm guessing of 30 years, the third volume is a very different author from the first volume. i think of edmond as a romantic. someone growing up for whom tr was magnetic figure. it you think about tr's life before he became president, it is th

got to know president ford. well >> who else? >> ronald reagan. of course, i don't want to exaggerate our intimacy. but i was there -- i chose there when the alzheimer's letter was written. i gotta call, i will never forget, the last conversation i had with president reagan. he used to come up to the library -- the alzheimer's letter was i want to say in october of 94. it was in the fall of 94. and i was there for another year and a half. and he would come up. he and i take him through temporary exhibits. and the like. or side books. you know, he was still actively involved. and immensely proud. very -- i'd saddened meetings when they were first designing the exhibits. and he was incredibly humble. he couldn't believe that there was going to be this institution with his name on it. and i am convinced that was genuine. but sometimes, he was very proud of it. he was proud of his legacy, to both he and mrs. reagan, it meant the world. anyway, the thing i will never forget, in the early 96, just before i left, he ca

typically she took me with her to betty ford's funeral mrs. bush did betty ford actually had two funerals one in california and one in michigan, but mrs. bush wanted me to go with her and we talked about betty ford's funeral all the way home and was the first really meeting we had about her funeral. but yeah, she she was very hands-on with planning her funeral the eulogies the music. and she was like her husband. she they thought it was just another event. yeah, i just might add to that. mrs. reagan's three-ring binder was almost as thick as that for president reagan a very sophisticated of set of events that we had to execute and as gene knows to win drake used to make it a practice. about once a year for eight nine years to approach mrs. reagan just to update the plan discuss it see if there were any changes that she'd want to make perhaps she might have changed her mind over the years and but i think first ladies give it a tremendous amount of attention. i'm gonna turn to in need of because she's in charge before i do before i do any becaus

ford and mrs. johnson. and the joint effort. that was the women's conference. i knew every legislator that was against equal rights and i called every one of them, more than one time. i think we got maybe 13, 13 more votes, we could have ratified the amendment. but we were able to get the extension through. i think that was 1978 we got the extension through for four years and then, of course, another president came in and office and that was all gone. what about the tendency of the press to sort of pigeon hole people? i mean, there's -- was an easy character tour of hillary clinton and nancy reagan and of barbara bush, of you, of all of the first ladies. how wide was the gap between the press perception of you and who you were, who you felt should be conveyed to the press? >> i remember after jimmy was elected there was a whole page cartoon in "the washington post" with an image of jimmy and his mother and me and hay stacks. we had on straw hats and there was straw between our teeth. and then i went from that to being steel magnolia. i thut was pretty good. bec

we have a supply chain issue with ford but ford has outstanding management what bill farley has dones i mean, he is one seriously quality talented ceo so and at 2.7 or 2.75% dividend with a stock down this much and pent-up demand, the return for this stock is a matter of when not if i don't own it yet but when i see something pull back like that i'm going to take a very close look they are countrying-edge a they are cutting edge and i think well-poised to be very successful i want to take a closer look at it for our long term portfolio. >> i don't know where you stand on ford or if you own it but the notion of the note is plies to a lot of companies, the analysts saying investors are underestimated the impact of supply chain and inflation and fed rate hikes i think it could be said of many companies, many different industries that perhaps we're not fully grasping what the impact is going to be. >> yeah, i think it when it comes to autos when you see ford down 4% there's something bake in in terms of bad outcomes. when we look where we're going to put incremental dollars haven't chose

ford mine.nument of slave trade architecture itself and the town that grew up near its walls are called elmina, that is, a mine, meaning it was a mine that gives local gold. the leaders willingly brought gold to the portuguese, who paid for it with guns, knives and, as usual, beads, mirrors and other consumer goods that were scarce in these places, but gold was not so and a lot was arranged more and more and then local. the leaders offered the portuguese black gold there were practically no labors for its extraction. and most importantly, its reserves were almost inexhaustible. in ghana, the mother of ten children is still not considered a heroine mother. yes , our leaders traded in slaves. it was they who negotiated the sale with the whites, whose captives were captured during numerous tribal wars. they and relatives sold those that they did not like very much, but for the leaders it was a simple trade. but the whites came up with robot trading. they gave the leaders all sorts of useful things
