but george morris got a hold of the scandal and found out about the secret meeting and blasted it all over the media. once it became a public scandal, coolidge backed off. henry ford by then already said he would run for president. so ford took himself out of running for president prematurely and he never got the project but he also never got to be president. if he was president my idea he would be up president unlike any we had ever had. he would have been an autocrat. he would've been unable to deal effectively with groups like congress or the press. he just want his own way it would have been a very interesting four years. but it didn't happen. in fairness ford didn't really want to be president. he knew he was lucky to have the job he had as the world's richest one-man band this enormous profitable company and could do what he wanted and tell anybody what he wanted he did not have to make nice and kiss babies and he knew that. he was not built to be a politician. he knew it. especially his wife. she was dead set against ford being president and she was a powerful figure in his lif

it was george morris that stopped henry ford and that story stayeden put. if he hadn't have been there, there is a very good chance ford would have gotten what he wanted even without being president and the presidential elections heated up edafter harding. he could make his utopian city happen you can circumvent to the extent he needed to to get the votes that he needed to and if he was president if he would run, seriously he made a back room deal. there is the evidence in the book. henry ford and calvin coolidge president of the united states got together in the white house and henry ford agreed not to run for president. for ford's control of this project it was a secret deal and was controversial and evidence that it happened but once the news, what happened is george morris got a hold of the scandal. he found out about the secret meeting and blasted it all over the media. once it became a public scandal, calvin coolidge already backed off. had he been president, my view is he would have been a president unlike any president we've ever had. he would have

everybody should know the name of george morris. the senator from a nowhere state but he is a heroic figure. he's a maverick and never let anyone tell them what to think. stop the lies and falsehoodshe when he saw them it didn't matter how n powerful you were f he thought you were lying he would tell you it was actually george norris -- however that one man george norris and his friend. there's a good chance he would have gotten what he wanted even without being president and as the presidential election heated up after harding's death and ford considered running the calculus was that if you got into the white house he could make his dream happen on the tennessee river and make his utopian city happen. he's would get the votes they needed to and he came close anyway. he would have the levers to pull tom: it happen. i think he would have been president if he had run seriously. i think the reason he didn't run was yet made a deal withth calvn coolidge a backroom deal and i show the evidence in the book. henry ford and calvin coolidge

george washington was beside himself at how unreliable the militia were. gouverneur morris out of new york said the militia to rely upon the militia to repel a foreign invasion to come against a a professional army is like relying upon a broken reed. so they knew at the time that that militia was no match for a full-blown professional army. we also get that domestic tyranny peace, but here you have a government that, you know, you had shays' rebellion that happened right before the constitution convention, and shays' rebellion were white men who were attacking the massachusetts government over taxation and seizure of property for nonpayment of taxes. and the militia were not putting them down. in fact, members of the militia were joining shays' rebellion and it required boston merchants who had to pay for basically a mercenary army to put down shays' rebellion. so what they knew at the time was that you couldn't count on that militia to fight against domestic tyranny. instead what they would do was they would attack the government that was just trying to do government funct
