this is about 45 minutes. >> we are at the gerald r.d presidential museum in grand rapids, michigan. we are in the new exhibit which opened a few weeks ago, and it is a brand-new exhibit on gerald ford, his life and times, that took about six months to complete. the museum spaces are broken down into his what we call the foundation years, and his youth and then move into the congressional years, and congress, and presidential and post presidential years. so in the gallery, we featured that gerald ford grew up in grand rapids, michigan, but he was born in omaha, nebraska. his mother had married a businessman in omaha by the name of leslie lynch king, and so she was dorothy king. they had a child in july of 1913. they named leslie lynch king, jr., and he is the person that we know as gerald ford. in this case, we have his christening gown and a book that his mother kept. in 1913, his mother began to keep a book on the baby's experience, and we can't present the real thing, but a duplicate of it in flip form, and some of the things in here

it was gerald ford sr. who introduced jerry and his three stepbrothers to sports including football. it was gerald ford sr. who opened up his own business in october of 1929, which was probably the worst timing possible. because, of course, as we know that same month, the stock market crashed and the great depression set in. yet gerald ford sr. was able to keep his business running without government support. he became, too, to the younger ford an example of strength and perseverance when facing terrible odds. he also influenced the younger fords' ideas that one should seek to make ends meet without relying on government assistance. in addition to the examples of strength and perseverance they provided, ford's parents were also religiously devout. that, too, influenced ford. but one thing about the ford family is it was more of a personal spirituality. they weren't overt about it, but they were certainly very devout. and last but not least, the ford parents insisted that their children do their chores and b

so president nixon nominates gerald ford to fill the vacancy of the vice presidency. over 400 fbi agents spread out across the united states to investigate congressman ford, and he passes that investigation the results of which are handed to congress congress then schedules a vote on congressman ford's nomination and this is the card that speaker of the house carl albert hands to jerry ford noting the house vote 387 voting in support of his nomination 35 opposing. there was another vote that was that was held in the senate and only three senators voted against his nomination to the vice presidency. congressman ford in december 1973 is sworn in as vice president. this is the bible on which he was sworn in and again, he hasn't open to his passage the passage that he and betty had leaned on many times in their lives of psalm. i'm sorry proverbs 3 5 through 8 trust in the lord with all your heart and leave not into your own understanding and all your ways acknowledge him and he shall direct your path. he'll have the same bible open to the same passage months later when he

one was gerald ford. it was largely because he had that reputation of being able to work together with people of differing ideas, and to make reasonable conclusions. and he became one of the seven warren commission commissioners. he and another guy named jackstyljack styles worked together on the portrait of the assassination, and it is not the portrait of an assassin, because we believed firmly there was no evidence that was brought to the commission that would refute that finding. he remained open to other evidence that might prove otherwise that might counter that commission's contention, but during his lifetime, he never saw any that was, that it was lee harvey oswald on his own as the assassin of kendrick. so was alone that would have him act for his identity. what he is known for is being able to move legislation on capitol hill, and to be able to craft the coalitions and it is that reputation that moves him forward in conversations about leadership. so in 1964, ford mounts a campaign against charli

and gerald ford went oft -- off to war. for almost two years, the aircraft carrier would take him across 40,000 miles of the pacific. his experience and ten major battles with change his perception of the world and his nation's place in it. he had seen too much of the world to believe that it would go away or that america could bury her head in the sand. >> i always felt that i was a moderate conservative republican. i felt very strongly that the united states had to have an international foreign policy. >> for the internationalist josÉ -- and his uphill challenge of isolation is incumbent. at stake was michigan's fifth district and the future of his party and his country. the red, white and blue quonset caught people's attention and they listened to the energetic young lawyer and war veteran as he stomped the whole district, taking on the republican establishment. when the votes were counted in november, 1948, ford had won the first of 13 terms in congress. and that's not all he won that year. betty bloom or warren would b

gerald ford once said the harder you work the luckier you are. in other words hard work will pay off debit dividends in the end and indeed. he was someone who worked very hard at what he did. and finally, we have to look at the influence of boy scouts in football. both of them taught him to work as part of a team. football the sport that ford came to love taught him not to get upset when you lose instead when things don't go well in the field and you lose pick yourself up pull yourself up by your bootstraps dust yourself off and prepared as hard as you possibly can for the next game. so here's an individual beliefs. in strength and perseverance and not relying on government support was a strong work ethic. but there are two of the things about four that should be mentioned. first of all, he could be stubborn. and second of all he could be naive. ford once said that no matter how bad a person seemed there had to be good in that person. and what you had to do is try to look for and pull out that good. the thing was though that sometimes in the sear

gerald, is it getting more times? is the symbiotic relationship that was going on for years where we send them all of our jobs and they send us cheap goods in return. is it breaking up? what's happening? well now they look at our top trends for 2021. 1 of them is china. 21st century. the 20th century was the american century. the 21st century is going to be the chinese century. the business of america has been war. and the business of china is business and you don't have to believe me about the war thing. anybody. all they have to do is google in dwight d eisenhower. january 17th, 1961 as well. address warning, the american people that the military industrial complex is robbing the nation of the genius of the scientists labors in the future, the children. so now shina, what did they been going? oh, the adult in road initiative? oh china look at look at. oh, how about what are they going to spend a couple of when you really look at the numbers a couple $100000.00 in america's infrastructure. they call it the infrastruc

so we're sitting duck gerald. yes. and again, you know, you're seeing it happen with it's the bottom line. look at shine. yeah . look at shy his gdp from 1970 to 2000. before they kind of came in to the world trade organization, it was almost a flat line going up just a little bit, 2000 and they come into the trade world trade organization. it's a straight line up. and where's america is going look at the trade deficit? look at our manufacturing. what. what do we have about 88889 percent, 10 percent of the country is manufacturing base. is hardly anything. and it's getting smaller. right? well, the entry into the world trade organization, of course, at the time, joe biden, the current president, when asked, well, are we opening a pandora's box air by potentially shipping all of our industry over to asia? his response was that china will never compete with america. it's no way, man, you know, he totally under played it and now he's president and he doesn't seem to be taking this china economic. the dominant seriously is

that was part of the gerald ford instincts. it 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

thank gerald. so lunch day until next time, via the me ah, on drugs started as a way to come back, a great problem. what's the one? it's part of the attitude of the nation, not just of north dakota, and it got to be something that you could get elected. this time, the fight against drugs took a check and told us that andrew was competing short form. this is way too dangerous for him to be doing. clearly they put him in harm's way. a rural college student does interest get shot in the head and found in a river like that something else had to be happening. ah, the ah, the eastern half of the united states were going to have 1000000000, if not trillions of periodical cicada is interacting with tens of millions of human beings in their backyard. oh my god. obviously some of the cicadas do not have very high tolerance for alcohol because they are already passing out are 6 minutes to 400 very satisfying the awe today's headlines on archie international shilling effect on media freedom. that's the reactio

now, therefore, i, gerald r. ford, president of the united states, pursuant to the pardon power conferred upon me by article 2, section 2 of the constitution, have granted and by these presents do grant a full, free and absolute pardon unto richard nixon for all offenses against the united states which he, richard nixon, has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from july 20, 1969 through august 9, 1974. >> as you can see from this chapter, which is written by jeffrey crouch, who is a professor of history at american university, ford had been a loyal supporter since he and nixon began their careers together in 1948. he was actually getting ready to retire in 1973 when he was plucked out of relative obscurity to become vice president. now he is in the oval office. you have to picture this. he is surrounded mainly by nixon's people, nixon's loyalists as his own advisors. that presents some real problems. within days of his taking office on august 9th of 1974, journalists start swamping

gerald: i wanted to come full-circle. several of our members of the audience are very interested in libya. where we have perhaps some hopeful movement, an election on the horizon that will perhaps move their country away from the civil war and away from this conflict they have experienced for several years now. what is the thinking about how to support these nascent moves and help build a peaceful and political way forward for libya? rep. malinowski: before i answer that, a typical zoom situation -- i need to go grab my charger. give me just one second. all right. we are safe. libya is a country i've closely followed since my human watch days. i was there for the last year of could dolphy and a couple of times during the miraculous year of revolution. which people forget, they think of libya as nothing but a basket case, but that libyan revolution was followed by one of the most successful and best run democratic collections anywhere and the libyan people voted overwhelmingly for moderation and pragmatism. all of was stol

but yeah, gerald tell us inflation is back, but is it transitory? is the fed promises or is this the 1970s all over again? or is it something else general the federal reserve chairman says it's temporary show. it must be only temporary because the banks to set it is and although you know the price is skyrocketing, the number is just came out to the builders association this week. that it only costs between june of this year to be june of 2020. the prices to build a house only went up 26 percent and of course, lumber prices came way down, but they're still up over 50 percent. so no, this isn't transitory. it's real. and it's guide as devastating effect on really the little people of slave landey or because when you go out buying from fruit to gas, so whatever, you know, we have to pay more, but the federal reserve is lying about this is we see it because they're not stupid, and they need to keep interest rates down. and they need to keep them down for to a couple of reasons. because interest rates go up, the markets, go down, borrowing money for noth

thank you to gerald sunday until next time by you all the me. ah, the russian president vladimir putin. it's spend a long article on russia and ukraine to say it is evoked a lot of response, also. so long angela murphy, germany long serving chancellor. what will be her last, like i rather driven by dreamers shaped by those with the in me dares thing. we dare to ask me ah, with me ah ah, i use this security camera video and downtown biscuits shows young men grabbing a girl and forcing her into a cup. no one comes to 26 year old. i gotta kinda think of an aide. everyone assumes that a bride is being kidnapped to become an event and gets done. this was the last time she was alive. going this slow rodnick, fillmore demos, can watch.

so we're sitting duck gerald. yes. and again, you know, you're seeing it happened with it's the bottom line. look at shine. yeah. look at shy his gdp from 1970 to 2000. before they can came into the world trade organization. it was almost a flat line going up just a little bit. 2008 come in to the trade world trade organization. it's a straight line up. and where's america is going look at the trade deficit? look at our manufacturing what. what do we have about 8889 percent, 10 percent of the country is manufacturing base. is hardly anything and it's getting smaller. right? well, the entering into the world trade organization, of course, at the time, joe biden, the current president, when asked, well, are we opening a pandora's box air by potentially shipping all of our industry over to asia? his response was that china will never compete with america. it's no way, man, you know, it totally under played it. and now he is president, and he doesn't seem to be taking this china economic dominance. seriously. it's gerald a

thank you to gerald. so on day until next time by you all, the me president joe biden invoke civil war parallels with greater frequency. this is ominous and dangerous. unfortunately, it would seem, this is how the major political parties and the media view, the state of our politics in a war, there are casualties and defeat in the culture. wars can one side bank questions, the other the eastern half of the united states were going to have 1000000000, if not trillions of periodical cicada is interacting with tens of millions of human beings in their back yard. oh my god. obviously some of the cicadas do not have very high tolerance for alcohol because they are already passing out are 6 minutes to 400. i mean that's very satisfying. and let me ah ah, ah, i me. i me. ah, ah, ah, ah, ah. my grandfather came to this country.

and gerald walker have deeply diversive perspectives. >> chair preston: did gerald walker come up with the titles for the proposals that you'll be presenting at your upcoming workshops? >> jeff, i think it's keeping it familiar, the high access -- >> yeah, i have no idea. >> we're going to go with we don't know. i know that's a response you've said you'll accept. >> chair preston: great. i think some of the messages on these -- calling the second one, the high access network, as you are removing people under that proposal, as you are removing people's lines and making them walk further to get to muni is a little bit -- like, is reads like consultant spin and p.r. i understand that there's a p.r. firm that is also part of the contract with gerald walker, right? [inaudible]. >> we have some public communications firms, not p.r. firms. again, we want to make sure we have the right level of community engagement, and our communications team is also understaffed, so we need some help from communications firms to help us on the engagement. >> chair preston: has gerald walker ever advised eith

, gerald ford, very good quality. the university of michigan. the first newspaper as far as dwight eisenhower, in 1912 i believe, profiling him as a future all-american at west point. to complete the baseball story, he probably didn't play it seriously but accepting money for any kind of game 1909-1910 was an example, gerald ford, was potentially a problem. the man by the name of red patterson invented the tape measure home run in baseball, great pr guy for the giants, somebody who concluded his career with the california angels. we used to go to california a lot in the late 70s. the giants in 1947 he was assigned to a company for a game and he said that he confronted general eisenhower, for several years, we understand you played under the alias of wilson. our records show two wilson's, which one are you? he said the one who can hit. and look at the camper state league there were two wilson's in that league, what was the first baseman, 285 in the first year and 340 the second year. they are great athletes and that ho
