as you know, he was not born gerald ford. he was born wesley king jr one of the things that sets this book apart are discoveries. president ford could have destroyed the papers with his mother's divorce case, and when read them, i could see why he might have been tempted to. it was a disastrous marriage, dorothy gardener. king had one of those honeymoons where before it was half over, she obviously was thinking. what did i get myself? her husband was abusive physically, emotionally, verbally and the marriage was basically over almost as soon as it began. but a woman in 1913 had very, very limited options and dorothy gardner king is an extraordinary i mean, gerald ford credited her, among other things, with his lifelong habit of seeing the good in everyone, which some people more cynical types took as a form of naivete. in any event, one of the things that i saw for the first time was gerald ford's baby book, very poignant entry, baby's first automobile ride turns out to have been taken two weeks after his birth, two days afte

and so gerald ford took the job. it's it's an honor. but he certainly didn't expect it to lead anything. lead to anything he thought that this would be a nice sort send off. i'll do this and then retire. in 1976, when this term is up and, that would be that. and and ford knew no more about watergate. everybody else did. so he didn't know where this story was going. but when the story went the way it did, when nixon as became apparent in the coverup of this and and it was at this time that the adage emerged that it's not crime, it's the cover up that's going to get you. and that's indeed the case. if had if he had better public relations people, he had professional pr assistance, then the first rule appears, get it all out there, throw everything you, have out there, because otherwise it's going to dribble out. and every day you're going to be in the papers that if he had done that, it would have been there wouldn't have been any. it will last it. oh, but there's one other thing. there's one other thing and this gets back to the biograph

so gerald americas to top land owners are telecom baron john malone. he owns 2200000 acres, the media mobile, ted turner. he owns a cool, 2000000 acres. he's coming in 2nd, but internationally they've got nothing on the late queen elizabeth, the 2nd whose total global land ownership comes in at a staggering 6 point. 6000000000 acres. that's where the b 1000000000. so by contrast, king abdullah of jordan owns only about 550000000 acres. so the lake queen, i mean, maybe now that that gets passed down to king charles, i don't know how that works, but she was far and away the world biggest private land owner. what does this say about how far we've actually come in our economic system? i mean, we say it's capitalism, but when you assess the land, this looks like feudalism. yes. when you assess the land, it is feudalism. and the land is only just one part of it. it's a futile system. it get, you have one percent in the united states on 54 percent of the equity markets. look what happened when the queen is dead, like it's a big deal. you know, she's better th

i'll bring it back to gerald ford in future installments but gerald ford was the ideal person and richardpresident in the central way and the understanding of history and politics in the way it should gerald ford not become president because of that fire in the belt that drives most people to endure what they have tond indor to become that. he didn't have this need to reach the top of that receipt pull. so and if they hadn't reached the top he was not like that at all and he seemed to be pretty comfortable. he was a solid citizen, a solid member ofss congress, he had ben for several years the minority leader in the house of representatives. the height of what he hoped for in his political career was to become speaker of the house and republicansse if they had not bn for decades and he was on the verge of retiring when nixon lost resigned because unrelated to getting swept up into the whole thing so nixon is looking for someone, the publican party for someone honesty and devotion to the national interest cannot be questioned and part of the appeal is the united states because it's awkward

on gerald ford. i'm going to explain why, if someone were to write a book on american politics on foreign policy 1970 it might be a smart idea to centered on gerald ford. he is right in the middle of some really momentous stuff. and maybe if i do decide to write this book maybe ford will play a central role. but at the moment here's what i'm thinking. i'm thinking the title i have in mind is the great unraveling. and i can tell you a little bit at the time. but certainly as a historic looking backward as to the 1970 as a. i do not want it to specific within the 1970s. while the title for the talk tonight with watergate, right? when 70s really began. i am going to talk about watergate. because right in the middle of the story. historians sometimes argue about was the 1970s more important than the 1960s? there is a silly argument. events don't pay any attention to the calendar, they just happen. but what did happen in the 1970s as a whole serve as a time when an attitude toward politics and government
