the gerald r. ford presidential museum hosted this program. >> good evening. welcome to the ford presidential museum. it is my honor to serve as deputy director and welcome you on behalf of the united states. we are very pleased to have you with his for tonight's program. -- with us for tonight's program. tonight our featured speaker is scott kaufman, a university board of trustees scholar and chair of the history department, where he teaches american diplomatic and military history. he earned his doctorate at ohio university. the other ohio university.

it was gerald ford senior who introduced gerald and his stepbrothers to sports. it was gerald ford senior who opened up his own business october of 1929, probably the worst timing possible. as we know, that same month, the stock market crashed. yet gerald ford senior was able to keep his business running without government support. to the younger ford an example of strength and perseverance when facing terrible odds. he also influence the younger ford's ideas that one should make ends meet without relying on government assistance. the examples of strength and perseverance they provided, ford's parents were religiously devout. one thing about the ford family it was a personal spirituality. they were not overt, but they were devout. last but not least, the parents insisted the children do their chores and be honest. that doing chores ties into something else about gerald ford. he had a very strong work ethic. said the harder you work, the luckier you are. -- willk will pay off pay dividends in the end. he was someone who worked very hard at what he did. finally we

so the other side of this, hey, casey gerald is awe some and horatio algier and if every kid is like casey gerald we have a heroing my and also have to -- the myth of here is this kid who made all the wrong decisions and screwed it up and threw his life away. it's more complicated we're all happening to and happening on other people and we're operating in a system which are designed to lead kids like my dad act 20 years old, into poor decisions and up safe choices and environments, and then blames it on them. so, i think there's a lot of blame to go around and we have to account for it if we're going heal from time to time. >> host: casey gerald's book, there will be no miracles here, a memoir. is available in october. this is booktv on c-span2. >> tonight, i season spicer discusses his book "the briefing: politics the president ands the president" interviewed by former republican national chairman, michael steele. >> and ronald reagan and donald trump are 180 degrees apart from each other, and yet here we are in this space. how did you navigate that? we're both reagan conservatives

>> no. >> come on, gerald. at least learned how to not drown and even finish some races, albeit long after the other competitors were done and towelled off. >> push it, come on. >> reporter: yes, he was that bad. which is interesting. because on dry land gerald is a remarkable athlete. >>> could you have made the basketball team? >> i think so. >> reporter: could you have made the football team? >> pretty sure. >> reporter: soccer team? >> pretty positive. >> reporter: so why swimming? >> i felt like if i couldn't handle not being good at something, then how could i consider myself, you know, successful person? >> reporter: that quote bears repeating. if i couldn't handle not being good at something, then how could i consider myself a successful person? to gerald, setting yourself up for failure is actually the key to future success. especially if you can somehow manage to master your weakness. and by the start of his senior year, gerald had actually improved a lot. but no one really knew how much he'd improved

. - the rnc was completely in gerald ford's hip pocke - gonna win here, mr. president? - four years. - reagan announces and 's only got the support of a few senators and a few congressmen. - ar hyou going to win in npshire? - i don't know, i'm gonna try. - [laughs] - the criticisms about reagan and from some democrats were that he wasn't very smart. he was a grade-b movie actor who never accomplished much. - whenhips are down, i think the people will want a proven quality rather than one who hasn't had those hard decisionso make or those difficult actions to take. - because reagan wasn't well-known on the east coast, some of that got traction. - when you vote tuesday, remember, governor reagan couldn't start a war, president reagan could. - in new hampshia , we actually haad, but reagan did not campaign in new hampshire the last weekend before the tuesday primary. president ford did. female announcer: president ford has t 51% vote, and ronald reagan--49%. female announcer gerald fordm the mystique of the presidency, while ronald reagan seems to have lost so of that movi

reagan completely upstages gerald ford. - mr. president, mrs. ford, mr. vice president, mr. vice president to be... ] [laughter and cheering the distinguished guests here, and you ladies and gentlemen. i'm going to say "fellow republicans" here, but those whwatching from a distance, all those miions of democrats and independents who i know are looking for a caus around which to rally and which i believe we can give them. [all cheering] - how many timesat a nn is there real emotion and is there real interest in what's being said at the podium? - someone asked me to write a letter for a time capsule that is ling to be opened angeles 100 years from now, and i set out to do so, riding down the coast in an automobile, looking at the blue pacific out on one side and the santa ynez mountains on the other, and i couldn't help but wonder if it was going to be that beautiful

i think the fact that ronald reagan rlly seriously nsidered gerald ford. and i interviewed dick cheney who worked for ford at tai time and hewe couldn't believe how much power reagan was g to cede to ford at the time. e d so during the convention in 1980 there is a scat's very similar to what happened when in 1960 when robert kennedy was shuffling between these hotel room floors trying to get l.b.j. not to gn onto the hacket. something similaens in the 1980 convention where gerald ford and his aides were asking for the moon. and they kept pushing and pushing and finally this famous interview that walter cronkiteu did and which ow basically gerald ford was giving the idea of a co-presidency. >> woodruff: right. >> and that was a bridge too far for ronald reagan. >> woodruff: you do write abou the current the mike pence donald trump relationship. the access hollywood tape comes out. mike pence does not, he's still the nominee, he does not take donald trump's calls at first.es really intng highwire and as you said... >> it was one of the few times where the p

. >> about the same time gerald ford becomes president, charlie in prison writes to squeaky he's got want to do one big thing that's going to get the nation's attention back on charlie. so squeaky, wearing a red robe, comes up to the president of the united states with a big gun, points the gun in his face. the secret servicemen wrestle her to the ground and squeaky's first words were, can you believe the gun didn't go off? >> following your own close brush with death in sacramento a couple of weeks ago, i wonder if this has convinced you at all that we need tough gun control legislation in this country? >> i prefer to go after the person who uses the gun for an illegal or criminal purpose. that to me is a far better approach than the one where you require registration of the individual or the gun. >> just minutes after making those statements, gerald ford walked into the street and heard the sound of gunfire. >> my god, there's been a shot! there's been a shot. they're being pushed back by the police. somebody has fired a shot here. we don't know if anybody has been hit. my god! som

wendi, gerald, john, rebecca, rob. phil, how does the paper go on as a practical matter when you've lost 75 years of journalism experience? >> in a practical sense? i can tell you a common shared view of our personalities and who we are, i don't think -- when i read chase's quote yesterday, i won't repeat it, but it was exactly how i felt. i remember actually when -- i was sleeping at a friend's house after it happened after we were done with police and everything. i was still checking case search, i'm sure you know how that works. the cases here are pretty public. i searched for the guy's name late at night to see if they had officially charged him. i guess they had filed it officially late that night. i was still -- i actually kind of felt like, when i saw the bail review hearing that was going to be at 10:30, even though it was maybe 4:00 in the morning, i was thinking maybe i should contact my editor to be like, i don't think i'm going to be able to go to that or something to that regard. but then i woke up at 10:4

the nomination was made, the democrats rolled out the same arguments that have been rolled out when gerald ford made a nomination back in the 70s, the same complaints that they've rolled out with justice kennedy nominated 30 years ago and with justice roberts. it's the same playbook again and again and again. for the nomination was made nancy pelosi came out to say that her goal was to avenge president obama and reject anybody. we have a nominee ahead of us who is mainstream highly qualified, stellar credentials and it is time now to have the hearings and the discussions in the debate to go to the floor of the united states senate. >> we also got in the last period three of the appropriation goes off before both the house and senate. we need to get together and get the bills on the president's desk. all 12 of the appropriation bills are out of the senate committee before the end of june and that work needs to continue to go on. things like the opioid crisis hasn't slowed down, hasn't been sold, still the number one cause of accidental death in the country and it is a higher cause of accide

my experience in politics, presidential politics begins with gerald ford who i really liked who was a really good guy, football player at michigan. and what's the story? he played without a helmet. i can't believe that, but a really, really, really good guy and psychotic case of presidential politics and that's continued really for the last 20 plus years. so here we are. we put this book together, mark did a great job. couldn't have done it without them, without pat, you know, reading it, rereading it and trying to create something that was meaningful and had meaning and was an experience that i hope people enjoy reading. life is pretty short the way you look at it, and, indeed, the thing you want to leave as a legacy that's meaningful, and you've done something positive. so at this point in time i'm working on that lexi and hopefully we will make it. we're going to, i kind of like to finish up. we've got the book done. we read it, reread it and reread it. wonderful lady from exeter really came up with the title and came up with the picture. we went to a lot of pictures and finally fo

the am still troubled about gerald ford question, because to dorst one who tried something about stopping the watergate investigations was when the first investigation started in the house. >> how else do you think he president? >> well, that's gonna be my bottom line question. do you think that he was -- that a quid pro quo? >> no. >> that there was a deal line?ere along the i know that many people who have looked at it, including the of directors, of the award, whichourage awarded that honor to gerald decidedme out and that -- what you said should win that he helped the country avoid a protracted fight. but do you think there may be more that we don't know? jim.don't think so, the question is, was there a deal? ad it was very, very much question when ford pardoned nixon. a quid pro quo? and there were varying it.stigations of nobody has found anything. and ford, the president, had to go up to the hill. it before your subcommittee? happened. on what had jerry ford was picked, i believe -- a lot of people were nominating themselves because they saw there was a good opening there likely. [

all of this could be cleared up if the president did like every president before him going back to geraldleased their tax returns. >> some say people before gerald ford didn't do that, so why does donald trump need to? why does it matter now? >> that's a good question to ask from scar pluchchy. the reason we did it was watergate. it began as a response largely to the nixon administration. nixon submitted his taxes after he actually ran, after his campaign every president, every nominee submitted them before they -- before the election even occurred. and it's clear this is about good government. it's really not an ideological issue. it's not a partisan issue. it's about making sure that whoever is seated in the oval office has the public interests at heart. >> are you confident there is something interesting in there? if it was just donald trump being very, very rich, wouldn't ta be something he would want to show? >> he could easily show that. donald trump is very, very rich by any normal, you know, definition of what wealth is. donald trump is a wealthy man. i don't think that's the reas
