but gerald ford has no republicans made an investment in gerald ford.ody outside of one congressional district in maryland has voted for gerald ford. he has his hold on the republican party is very tenuous. and he wants to run for '76, but he confuses nixon's appeal with nixon's policies and he was by and large, fairly conservative. not as conservative as reagan. is that for trump? >> i don't know. >> he just set the train through. he pursues all of nixon's policies. he continues detente, he continues his fiscal policies, and this creates an opening for a conservative challenger for '76 and some looked at it, but reagan was the only one who was serious about it. >> but then the reality is that carter beats ford by a narrow margin. >> extremely. less than 2%. and ford gets 240 electoral votes. if he carries ohio -- >> he would have had it. >> carter carries ohio in 1976 by 6,000 votes out of over 3 million cast. he carries -- of course, the teamsters are headquartered in ohio. there's a lot of suspicion that the teamsters -- they wouldn't do that, would

that was part of the gerald ford instincts.t served him well as a man, and in the long run as a politician, because he had no, dial there was no hidden agenda. he thought this was the right thing to do. at nbc, they were almost critical. i thought he should pay a higher price for all he put the nation through. my own judgment is that gerald ford, his standing in history, will be unsolved by his decision to pardon richard nixon. people will talk about it, but by and large you will find him as a very competent caretaker the found himself in the highest office in the land in the most unexpected circumstances. and richard nixon. could there be any greater punishment, the only president in american history who was forced to resign because of his illegal behavior, in the office and beyond. it was torture for richard nixon. it will never ever be eased by a president, or rewriting of history. so you should keep that in mind as well. what i remember most of all however is that in washington in those days you woke up in the morning and y

gerald: that is great. and someone else is written in saying that they are watching for living in vermont. that's gone through consolidation of school districts because the population is getting small. there's a lot of concern of how the move the organization and causing loss of community identity. and now places are being absorbed pretty can you tell us either emmett or the state organization what it looks like printed the things consolidating it these bigger places. will they have to travel further whatever the sample might be. and do those communities still have their own specific community schools are they getting bigger to accommodate and if your kids to get involved in one spot. grace: i know they have a high schools middle schools and one interesting thing that is happening the cover later on in my book is that this area is actually suburban i think because they're incredibly incredibly popular to move to right now. so kind of a mixed lesson there in the sense that missing people but farmland itself

you have gerald ford running as the incumbent of the republican party.nd then you have jimmy carter who was running for governor of -- for the democratic party. paul laxalt, like i said, a minority within a minority. he thought it would be a good idea for ronald reagan to throw his hat in the ring and run for president. to run the primaries. he tried to get support from his colleagues on capitol hill. nobody was interested. nobody thought ronald reagan would be a good president. paul laxalt was the sole supporter of this notion. that ronald reagan should run for president in 1976. and people liked ronald reagan. they gravitated toward him. they knew who he was. because he was a national figure. he had been pretty popular as california's governor. they ran a good campaign. pundits did not think it was possible that he would stand a chance. they were right. he did not win. but his insurgency against the ford campaign is probably what contributed to gerald ford not winning for the republicans and probably attributed to jimmy carter winning for the democrats

for modest we can cross a live to author and historian gerald horan thanks for being with us it's been a long time since you have had the opportunity to have a conversation like this. it was a late press conference to say the least for the american president why did biden wait so long before he chose to meet with the press well as is well known of our biden is a catholic he does not have a gift of gab as they say in the united states he oftentimes twists his sentences and for course he did the same thing at this particular press conference so i think that his handlers would like to keep him as far away from the press in these kind of structured environment as possible. now biden was pushed on the question of his possible reelection he has not finished his 1st 100 days yet is it too early to be talking about 2024 i mean his predecessor actually went ahead and launched his campaign on the inauguration day 'd 'd of joe biden. i think it is wildly premature to talk about 2024 we're only a few weeks into this incoming by the administration there are many economists were expecting a wave of

. >> clerk: hello, gerald. last time, gerald. thank you. >> hi there. >> clerk: go ahead. >> thanks for taking my call. i just wanted to repeat what a couple of the callers have mentioned about the need for out of school time programs and onsite after care eventually at least if not immediately. it is difficult with you to expect people to come back and send their kids to school five days a week and pick them up at 1:30 kind of in the middle of the day. i understand we need to get things back going, but i would also like to make sure that especially, hopefully the spring especially come the fall that we don't have any obstacles to having some of these other programs to return to schools. furthermore it's my opinion that commissioner collins should resign. >> clerk: thank you. hello, chris. >> sorry. i was washing dishes. thank you so much. can you hear me? >> yes. >> okay. i'm calling in because i have a number of colleagues both at the high school division and also in other areas who are special education teachers and who will b

the examples we isolated was the gerald ford situation. he was a really nice man, he was in a difficult situation, coming to the presidency after a scandal. in that instance, it was not january 6, it was the watergate scandal. so he said i will go to the center, to hold the center -- ford was an athlete -- he said i will hold the center, which nixon wanted to do, and nixon was not a great economist, and i am just going to be kind to everyone and try to get democratic votes. that policy did not work. jimmy carter went to ford's right. of course, on economics, he studied up on the misery index, terrible inflation and unemployment we had. and he went to ford's right as well in foreign policy. in the famous television debate where ford sounded like he might that poland was a free country. republicans should stand for republican policy and not be embarrassed about it. that is my recommendation. and the positive example where it worked is calvin coolidge, who also had to clean up after a scandal, in that instance, the teapot zone, so what we say

in the 1970s the media raised occurrence about president gerald ford after a fall similar to biden on stairs of air force one. the media went after ford and made him out to be a clumsy fool. "gerald ford's 1975 fall on the same stairs a minor tumble that forever tarred him as a clumsy oaf." the media saved the most vicious coverage on age with donald etrump. declaring trump was not mentally fit to serve as president as if we can't question their mental fitness. others promoted a conspiracy theory he had alzheimer's disease. and morning joe said he had dementia and another described his mental health as a scream scapees of dementia and criticid the president for holding water with 2 hands. in an article entitled it's up to journalists to get to the truth about trump's health, you have the creepy sean hannity cyber stalker humpty-dumpty. you can't stop watching. well, will you ask the same question about joe biden? we can go on and on. the media mob and the big tech mob and democrats when it came to president trump's fitness for office nothing was off limits. >> the people close to him

out front now, the attorney for representative gerald gregs. i appreciate your time.eading to see your client. what's your reaction to lieutenant langford by saying he fear a january 6th style insurrection. >> i think it is a false equivalent. i am disturbed he would make that kind of comparison. they were maybe five other individuals, another elected official and three voters or so. i just think it was the wrong characterization of what happened there based on the facts. >> when i add up your number, that's eight people verses 800 who violently stormed the capitol. the fellow democratic member of the georgia house of representative spoke out of langford's comment. here is what she says. >> i call bs. they were threatened by a black woman, period, full stop. >> do you believe race was a factor? >> i believe the way she was treated was unnecessary. i think that if we had been dealing with a different complexion, maybe the treatment would have been different. no one should have been treated in that form of fashion the way she was dragged out of the capitol for merely do

her attorney gerald griggs is telling cnn that cannon is facing two charges -- felony obstruction andenting or disrupting general assembly session. both felonies. all right? in connection with her arrest at the state house. the arrest affidavit states that cannon was charged with disrupting a general assembly session because she knowingly and intentionally did by knocking on the governor's door during a session signing a bill. the session signing of a bill. we'll continue to update you but she's out of jail now. and we'll continue to follow. it's going to be big news tomorrow morning. make sure you tune in to "new day" in the morning. now i want to turn to the ceos of facebook, google and twitter getting a grilling today from members of congress at a hearing about misinformation, online extremism in connection with the january 6th roitd at the capitol. the head of facebook rejecting any responsibility for the misinformation that fueled the riot and said, pointing his finger directly at the former president donald trump and at the media. so let's bring in now cnn business reporter doni

and i said i have to ask you, i'm a little surprised because you started your political life with geraldord, and yet he and all of his people, could never get past thinking that reagan cost him the election but you get along so well with him, and he said well you have to understand, that i was more conservative than ford. obviously i was loyal to my boss, but i always had sympathy for what reagan was talking about, and that it was not a problem for me when reagan became president, or became the nominee to support him. >> when i interviewed cheney, for my book on the 1976 campaign, i asked him the same thing, and he said exactly the same thing. but the reason he said, is that i was a westerner like reagan, and i understood when he was talking about as far as the populist resentment towards washington. and i don't think that and nelson rockefeller ever really got that, or richard nixon understood that. reagan loses to foed at the convention, by the narrowest of margins. 67 delegate votes, out of 2257 cast. you are there, and this is the last ultimately tested nomination. it's being broadca

but i did speak with representative park canon, an atlanta democratic's attorney, gerald rigs. we have not been able to confirm this, but grigs tells me she was arrested, she's being charged with obstruction. and that he's working on getting her out of jail at this very moment. cnn has reached out to state police, and we have not received any sort of response. we have also reached out to the governor's office and not been able to get response. at this point, what happened was basically, representative canon was trying to get in, knocking on the door with other protesters. there were other representatives there, so the people could see the signing of sb-202 into law. she had been a very vocal critic of it, and what it would do to voting rights, she believed, and at that point, as he was signing, we kind of hear something on that live stream. it appears that is what this was. you can see in the video those officers sort of taking her and carrying her out of the capitol, and at this point, according to her attorney, gerald grigs, she's still down at the jail. they're still going t

charles: want to bring in the fitzgerald group principal keith fitz-gerald.eith, your thoughts on chairman powell's comments and of course the market reaction to those comments? >> tell you what, normally he is very calm, cool collected. today he is in firm command of the obvious, i hate to be so obvious. we knew this was coming. you can't print money forever. you can't take no action forever. everybody knows that inflation is cooked except him. that is what the markets are reacting to. not necessarily there are bad problems with the companies because earnings are still strong but rates are out of control because people fear the return of their money more than they fear the return on their money. charles: he must see something though, that either the market is doesn't see or doesn't believe him. in other words he said on more than one occasion, and he repeated it today, inflation is set to rise but it will be temporary. then he tried to soothe wall street by saying the economy is likely to see maximum employment until next year. in other words, wink, wink, i'
