gerald ford saw the in everyone. bob hartman saw the bad and everyone together, the perfect politician. i mean, hartman was a conspiracy theorist when they moved over to the executive office building of the vice president's office, the vice president had a big office that many years earlier, been occupied by general pershing after world war one. and bob hartman claimed for himself the office occupied by assistant secretary of the navy frank woody roosevelt. but they didn't have meetings in fdr or they met informally out in the hall because hartman was convinced. and who knows, maybe he was right that the nixon people were bugging them. where is precedent for believing that. but anyway, the ford hartman relationship is a get one small example of the complexity. why, anyway? hartman you know, sort of dined out for years, understandably, on the very, very successful speech that he wrote for president ford. i mean, he had a gift. he had a real he he write how ford talked and it sounded like ford. nobody heard ford speak

you know, we find a gerald ford and we grab on to gerald and are excited that gerald, you know, our efforts work out, but gerald doesn't validate an approach. gerald is an anecdote and how many sylvia's and tom's and ed's and manuel's and leon's are out there. who are who are being offered sandwiches frequently and having a lot of conversations with outreach and have had conversations with outreach for the last 20 years and have gone through jail however many times. and we've never like gotten them off the so those are my global kind of thoughts, which you don't have to respond to unless you have a particular one. i of course, i'm going to talk about beds. we're going to have a whole hearing on beds. but it comes up on on a couple of the slides. it comes up on, i guess i think it's slide five of and i think it comes up on slide nine on there. there is a mushiness or a fuzziness in how we continue to talk about beds as which is like multifold. but one aspect of it that kind of drives me nuts is that we're lumping together beds for people with the most severe mental illness, with the beds, fo

since we are here at the gerald ford museum, where does gerald ford, a president popularly known more for his media struggles and triumphs -- how does he fit into this narrative ? to answer these questions, i want to dig into three key, very memorable moments, in evolution of the entertainer in chief over the past century. to show how these well-known moments reflect shifting ideas about the power of media in american politics and also the very policies that are shaping the business of television. on the surface, richard nixon's decision to appear on tv as a last-ditch effort to get votes in 1968, it may appear the same as ron nesson, gerald ford's press secretary -- his decision to appear on saturday night live and bill clinton to appear on mtv in 1992. i certainly make the argument in the completion of my first book that each involved a strategy of using entertainment to bipap -- bypass the press. my new book shows that there is more to the story as well. and unpacking the shifting media landscape from nixon, to fort, to clinton illuminates changes in how popular culture is used as

and since we are here at the gerald ford museum where does gerald ford, president popularly known more for his media struggles and triumphs, how does he fit into the narrative? to introduce questions don't want to go into three key memorable moments in the ablution of the entertainer in chief over the past half-century. to show how these well-known moments reflection of the ideas about the power of the media in american politics and also the policies that are shaped business of television. on the surface richard nixon's decision to appear on less than as a last-ditch effort to win votes in 1968 was the same for his press secretary and build clinton's decision to appear on mtv in 1992. i certainly make the argument in the conclusion of the book that each involves a strategy of using entertainment to bypass the press and speak directly to voters to show their personalities on the campaign trail. in my new book i'm talking to shifting media landscape of nixon to ford to clinton. and illuminates the significant changes in how c popular culture is used as a political tool and as a consequen

and so gerald ford took the job. it's it's anonor. buhe certainly didn't expect it to lead anything. lead to anything he thoughthat 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 parent 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 betterublic relations people, he had professional pr assistance,hen 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 tt, it would he been there wouldn't have been any. it will last it. , but there's one other thing. ere's one other thing and this gets back to theiographical part some if yo

this is the media environment that gerald ford inherited. ironically , in his efforts to restore integrity to the presidency , he actually advanced these two components of richard nixon's media politics, his showbiz style and his cable niagenda. here is how it works. gerald ford confronted the a challenge of how to communicate, govern and then win an election in a political environment that one journalist characterized as disillusionment that have or turned into ridicule. he faced a cynical press corps, who had witnessed nixon lying and saw the events that went into to manipulate. th for ford, entertainment became a way to restore that trust by personalizing and humanizing the presidency. he notably wanted to do it ti differently than nixon. and to use popular culture to d bring the celebrity making t apparatus that nixon had so w carefully put in. he wanted to bring it into public conversations about how the presidency operated so that people could understand it r rather than being manipulated. he wanted transparency over secrecy. his new p

new book out about gerald ford from richard norton smith. i went to the ford library last week and i was lucky enough to go there and see the exhibits and hear an excellent presentation. when i read your book, really ford, political culture is not kind to gerald ford, tell us about that. >> there are two things going on. what is he had some well- publicized stumbles where he fell. they were really his fault. he was trying to help betty on a slippery floor. regardless, the stumbles led to the impression of him as a klutz. gerald ford was probably the best athletes already present. he was an expert here in tennis player and he was drafted into the nfl. he did not play but he was drafted. ford was a tremendous athlete but there was perception of him as a klutz for people who know his history. that is one aspect and second is that the culture was changing at the time. that's what i'm trying to get into the book. the culture is changing and that 10 or 15 years before you could not make fun of the president on tv. with an attempt to do a skit show

chevy chase's infamous impersonation of gerald ford. look at the presidential impersonation and unfettered nightlight today alec baldwin and president trump or there was a special weight to the war and make up they put on him they made him look kind of like trump just like widen the sunglasses. the only way he conveyed was he drop stuff and he fell and that's how you knew it was gerald ford. it was a big deal that the president was made fun of on tv in a perception of board is a great athlete is a stumblebum i think it was unfortunate tagging. >> talk about technology. there is the advent of radio and the advent of television. how did this change the relationship between popular culture and their presidency. >> these technologies allow president to go over the heads of whatever gatekeepers there are and go directly to the people. franklin roosevelt when he was governor of new york he regularly used radio because he feared the editors in major newspapers of new york were republicans w. he famously used the fireside chat when he was at th
