[applause] president ford: thank you very much. fellow americans, at the outset let me congratulate and thank the east tennessee state university marching band and the other fine bands and organizations here. i am deeply grateful for your attendance and the wonderful music. [applause] i am likewise most grateful that governor winfield dunn is here. he was an outstanding governor for you in the state of tennessee.

other one i would mention would the 1970's.city in famously, president gerald ford assistance.ind of this is not a case of congress saying puerto rico, dropdead, but it is to instill a board. we will see if it works in puerto rico. it is something that presumably could apply to another territory like the virgin islands. host: up next to republican incumbent james closing in from north carolina. you are on with joseph lawler. caller: good morning. i think the big question here -- with the example you just gave us, you said that gerald ford said to new york, dropdead. it sounds to me like you have is conservative getting blamed for not bailing out liberals. the big question is, and i can't believe no one is asking -- you keep saying, great question. they are not asking me questions. they're asking, is going to save me. the question is who equips the states and territories? the answer is liberal democrats. every civil time. you don't bring it. that is the debate, what were and what doesn't. if you want to go into debt, elect a liberal. if you want to succeed, elect a conservative republ

they were too much of a liability. 1965, they held a press conference and gerald ford was the publiceader at the time. they said that the john birch society is not a part of the republican party anymore. they were kind of excommunicated. they kind of declined afterward. >> did ronald reagan have any particular views of the -- prof. mulloy: reagan is interesting, because he like goldwater knew many birchers personally. but he learned a lesson from barry goldwater, and also richard nixon, who tried to fight the berkshires -- the birchers, who suffered in 1962. ronald reagan handled the accusations against him, so he distanced himself from the society. he basically said, i stand by my views, they stand by theirs. he was very skillful in distancing himself from the society. >> did the john birch society change the republican party in any way? prof. mulloy: i think it helped them shift it to the right. it took a while for goldwater and the birchers to have that influence, but it moved it in a more conservative direction. it paved the way for reagan's eventual victory, the activism, energy

president gerald ford was running the country. he was a good man. he was a friend of mine. but in the area that i most cared about, he was not very aggressive and we weren't getting much leadership on the issue that the urban league was interested in. that is the equal opportunity for black americans. and i was still relatively new, having succeeded and we had lost martin in the late 1960's and then we lost whitney young and then a.c.p. and roy wilkins was not feeling so well or doing so well. and so i was sort of the youngest guy, new guy on the scene and it was important to fill this gap. i thought that was my job and i thought institutionally it was what the urban league ought to be doing. one of the programs that we initiated was the state of black america. and it's interesting that in the state of the union address by president ford, he didn't say anything about equal opportunity or the plight of black people. we came out the same month with the state of black america and it was sufficiently potent. it was sufficiently well-researchend that "the new york times" wrote a

but gerald ford got the votes of the if you look back to the very first republican convention, in 1860 our very first candidate for president, abraham lincoln, came in to a contested convention, he was second in the balloting, on the third ballot he won a majority. the test is to win a majority. and donald cannot win a majority. majorities matter. it's why donald wants to change the rules and rig the system. i'll use football analogy. if you're on the 0 yard line, it's not a touchdown. donald right now is on the 30 yard line he wants everyone to say, hey, the game is over because i'm past the 50. so what. he cannot earn a majority. and what we've got to do -- actually this week illustrated something powerful, john. if you contrast the people who were standing with me, carly fiorina and others, on the other side, donald trump was proudly trumpeting the support of mike tyson a convicted rapist who served three years in prison here in indiana for rape. a tough guy. you know what, john, i don't think rapists are tough guys, i think rapists are weak, they're bullies and cowards. donald may

it may be forgotten now, but when ronald reagan lost to gerald ford and i'm not talking about the speecha convention, but the speech at a hotel to his supportersen, he sd i'm hurt but i'm not slain. senator cruz should be and will be i assume a major factor in the republican party coming down the road and if he wants to be president of the united states at some point he stands a shot. doing this this way was the best way to do this. >> so speaks the next chairman of the republican party. >> can donald trump show that grace and class in his speech. that's what he should say. >> we'll see. we'll see. look, donald trump has led a really great and fascinating american life. he's an american original. we all saw him come down that escalator and he really spoke to a lot of people in this country and we cannot loss sight of the fact that these people are responding and i remember michael sitting over there -- i guess it was the night of the pennsylvania primary and you were surprised at the suburban countries had voted for him. he carried all 67 counties in pennsylvania which is unheard of. >>

ford secured the nomination on the first rollcall. he lost the presidency to jimmy carter. this three-minute event is courtesy of the gerald r ford presidential library and museum. [applause]

jimmy carter got the nomination and he beat gerald ford to win the presidency. jerry brown got to go back to california and the 30 something boyish governor of california and then later he would be governor all over again even when he was old. it all worked out for everybody. that is a reminder that primaries do get nuts. they get complicated, even the ones we have forgotten about and we have to look up in order to remember whether or not they were nuts, even the ones we have forgotten about, they're pretty nuts when you go back and look at them closely. right now on the republican side of the presidential race this year we have sort of just now stopped talking about the 2016 republican presidential primary as being somehow the nuttiest, the craziest republican primary ever. the republican primary is basically settled now. all this talk of the republicans having their first contested convention since 1976 that talk is over. today even the effort by some republican dead enders to try to find a third-party or independent challenger to donald trump today even that

he lost in '76 and that pick of swik ert went over like a lead balloon at at convention because gerald ford was sitting president not elected but for him to do this, though, seems like he's distracting from what he's trying to do is pay attention to ted cruz. up stayed they spent 24 hours paying attention to carly fiorina somebody else taking attention to this is former speaker of the house john boehner. there was a little video of him last night with the president as they were talking about how you condition conduct yourself after you leave hovs. baiper was funny in that and had sharp things to say about senator senator ted cruz listen to this. >> i have nev worked with a more miserable sop of a [bleep [bleep]. >> he did not say son of a gun i can promise you that. clearly john boehner was not of the mind of saying anything nice about ted cruz but veronica did this go too far and does this -- is this another example of the kind of rhetoric we've seen in this campaign cycle. >> i don't think it's good for cruz it addsed to narrative and conversation that ted cruz is not a likable guy. it's

kissinger was a top adviser for richard nixon and gerald ford. trump says he's open to talks with north korea's leader, kim jong-un, concerning that country's nuclear programs. >>> later on "cbs this morning," norah o'donnell goes one on one with ivanka trump. norah gets her reaction to the new york times piece outlining decades of allegations against her father. >> i'm going to ask you about the new york times. they ran a front-page article this sunday about your father and the treatment of women. did you read it? >> i did. and i found it to be pretty disturbing based on the facts as i know them, both in the capacity as a daughter and in the capacity as an executive who's worked alongside of him at this company for over a decade. so i was bothered by it. most of the time when stories are inaccurate they're not discredited. i will be frustrated by that. in this case, i think they went so far. they had such a strong thesis and created facts to reinforce it. and there's backlash in that regard. >> watch "cbs this morning" for the rest of the interv

otherwise, vice presidential candidates in -- >> gerald ford. >> is -- [ laughter ] >> otherwise, viceresidential candidates are -- but i don't think he makes him -- i do think he goes to attorney general. >> let me ask you this -- if trump picks a man, is it because he couldn't convince a woman to be his running mate? >> [ laughs ] >> i'm just asking. >> i don't see a woman who would -- nikki haley clearly is not a supporter of donald trump, and i think that most of the women -- >> jan brewer would come in. if he wanted a woman, he could get jan brewer, but i don't think it adds -- there are a handful of, you know, women, but i -- predominantly i think he has turned them all off. i think it'll be difficult to convince a serious woman to be a vp candidate. >> yeah. >> let's talk about the democrats real quick. the convention's coming up in the summer here in philadelphia, and a lot of leading democrats are concerned that the violence, really, that we saw in nevada with their convention, with the bernie sanders supporters might happen here. do you think there's a chance of that spilling

with harry truman and proceeds through eisenhower and kennedy and johnson and richard nixon and to gerald fords well. we are meeting a lot of people, and maybe we can focus the attention on just a couple of the two most important, lyndon b. johnson and richard milhouse nixon. but it is very clear in retrospect that nearly all the decisions that were made were informed in some way by domestic political considerations, from harry truman to dwight eisenhower to john f. kennedy to nixon to ford. that is an interesting thing to understand, in a situation in which you feel that on the other side of the world you've got certain military exigencies, a good deal of what is happening is being determined by domestic political considerations, which is not always the best way to run a war. mark: lynn, did you come away with impressions of these commanders in chief different from the one you had painted? lynn: no doubt, yeah. as ken was saying, it is having a multidimensional sense of them, too, because it is very easy to demonize or lionize these figures as larger than life, not real people, and listening

i can remember gerald ford telling me 20 years ago that when bill clinton went to see the pope in denverin 1994, ford called him and said, "come up to vail, and we will play a little golf." had an came, and they grand time, but that did not change ford's view of clinton's politics. they were friendly. i would not say they are friends. i think the bushes and clintons are friendly, but it doesn't make them friends and it certainly doesn't make them political bedfellows. good morning. thank you for c-span. i have a short comment. i know your time is short. the bush legacy goes way back. it seems like the memories of the american public is very short. the bush legacy goes back to things like silverado savings and loans, which i watched go on, and it goes back even further than that, skull and bones, things of that nature. what education level to these people have to want to support donald trump? does no one read the paper? does no one study history? does no one paid attention anymore in this country? thank you for your time. guest: it's a thoughtful question. public opinion polls show that a

gerald ford understood. that the american people were willing to devote only so much in the way of resources and time to vietnam. the basic problem was it was difficult to make a case that vietnam was intrinsically important to american security. thead some importance, but impotence late and its relation to american credibility. had said itd states was going to defend south vietnam and chooses not to or fails to do that, what are the germans going to think? what are americans other allies going to think? allies more important to the united states. those promises were made by harry truman and by dwight eisenhower and followed up by john kennedy. he was the inheritor of those promises but because this premises had been eight he did not think he could ignore them. it would've been politically impossible for johnson to say, this is a bad place to american to be involved we have to pull them. >> do you all agree with that? impossibilityical just to say very early on, we're going to pull out and let this remain a

funding restrictions on the vietnam war which nixon had been succeeded by former warren commissioner gerald ford who along with his chief of staff donald rumsfeld feld and his aide dick cheney wasn't on quite the same page as the congress. ford was not in a position of strength at this time, though. the freedom of information act which had been passed in 1966, but couldn't overcome agencies stonewalling was strengthened in 1974. it was over ridden by a two-thirds vote of congress. this is the context in which revelations of not only the white house, but also intelligence agencies. fbi, cia, and others began to leak out of washington into the nation's newspapers. revelations that the u.s. army had been spying upon anti-war demonstrators was followed by the article m "new york times" in december of 1947 by seymour hersh in which he revealed cia spying operations on americans and break-ins and other activities on u.s. soil in violation of their charter. the ford white house at this point immediately wanted to know what other skeletons were many the cia closet, and so within days cia director colby

understood, nixon understood, gerald ford understood that the american people were willing to devote only so much in the way of resources, energy and time to vietnam. the basic problem was that it was very difficult to make a case that vietnam was intrinsically important to american security. importance, but the importance lay in its relation to american credibility. if the united states had said it is going to defend south vietnam and chooses not to or fails to, what are the germans going to think? what are america's other allies going to inc., allies that are more important to the united states? think, allies that are more important to the united states? because the promises have been made, he did not engage in some we ignore them. it was politically impossible for johnson to say this is a bad place for america to be involved, militarily, we will pull the troops home. >> do you agree with that? was it a political impossibility to just say we are going to pull out and let us remain a local issue, a civil war? that is clearly the way that president johnson saw it and that is the way

the 1960's, and despite the rbulence of the era, the poverty, the crime, the violence, president gerald ford made not one mention about the plight of african-americans in his 1976 state of the union address. vernon jordan was appalled. and the state of black america was born. mr. jordan is regretfully unable to join us in person today, but he graciously sat down with us to share his memories of the past and insites into the present. -- incites into the present. take a -- insights into the present. take a look. vernon jordan: when i think back on my 10-year term at the urban league, the state of black america is one of the things i'm most proud of. the 1970's was the aftermath of what happened in the 1960's when we conferred and defined the rights of black people. the 1970's were about making real the rights that have been defined. let me give you an example. in the 1960's, we conferred and into d the right to check a motel or hotel. the 1970's were about providing the wherewithal to check out, you know, the right to check in is meaningless if you don't have what it takes to check out. and so

gerald ford was stupid and i don't think it's ignorant. i think it's realism. because the world is in a dangerous place. it's not the world that the president learned about in world politics 101 at occidental college. if you're negotiating on behalf of the world's great super power, the united states, you have to make difficult decisions and do difficult things. so i think that this will, in a strange way, play to donald trump's strengths because it will reinforce the fact that he is a realist and he is going to come in to the government as an outsider from the perspective of a businessman, not from a lifelong politician. >> angela, i will say donald trump is not shy about calling people stupid either. he's done that several time. crooked hillary, he likes to call her, but how is this going to play out after the convention? we saw saw is sort of modest compared to his role to energize the democratic base and make sure they vote for the nominee. hillary clinton. >> i think what's been amazing so far about this particular election, wolf, comparing donald trump's

impeached and removed if he did not resign and immediately, upon his resignation, his successor, gerald fordnounced that he was pardoning, siddenly former president nixon for all the crimes he may have committed. and so the criminal investigation of president nixon was stopped by nothing less than the power of a presidential pardon. it meant that we might never know just how nasty republicans really got in presidential campaigning. one nasty category that donald trump is teaching republicans how to use is the culmination of things of bill clinton's private life that he was accused of in the 1990s. >> i was very nervous. >> no woman should be subjected to it. it was an assault. >> he starts to bite on my top lip and i try to pull away from him. >> today, hillary clinton's campaign spokesman bryan fallon responded. >> i assume you're aware of the instagram video donald trump posted today? >> oh, i watched it. >> what did you think of it? >> this is the latest in his roger stone developed strategy to try to distract from an issues-based campaign, which is what we intend to run here. and to be h

law, erisa, was developed by a bipartisan congress and signed into law by republican president gerald ford, and was called by republican senator, senator javits, who is one of the lead sponsors of erisa, one of the most important pieces of social legislation since social security. before erisa, tens of thousands of people were losing their pensions every day because there were few laws regulating pension plans, and companies could do pretty much whatever they wanted. they could require people to work into retirement age to get their attention, and then fire them two days before their 65th birthday. bye-bye pensions. employers could invest the money in those days in bogus casinos in vegas, facing the consequences. and if a company in those days, just prior to 1974, went bankrupt, workers could lose everything. so erisa created basic standards to protect pension promises including creating a pension interest program to protect people in bankruptcy, developing investment and funding rules, and setting minimu minimal on hg people need to work to earn the right to a pension. but like all laws t

other one i would mention would the 1970's.city in famously, president gerald ford assistance.ind ofs is not a case of congress saying puerto rico, dropdead, but it is to instill a board. we will see if it works in puerto rico. it is something that presumably could apply to another territory like the virgin islands. host: up next to republican incumbent james closing in from north carolina. you are on with joseph lawler. caller: good morning. i think the big question here -- with the example you just gave us, you said that gerald ford said to new york, dropdead. it sounds to me like you have is conservative getting blamed for not bailing out liberals. the big question is, and i can't believe no one is asking -- you keep saying, great question. they are not asking me questions. they're asking, is going to save me. the question is who equips the states and territories? the answer is liberal democrats. every civil time. you don't bring it. that is the debate, what were and what doesn't. if you want to go into debt, elect a liberal. if you want to succeed, elect a conservative republican

kissinger also served as a top advisor to presidents richard nixon and gerald ford. live outside kissinger associates in new york city. hi. >> reporter: we're waiting for this meeting to happen. it is funny because it involves two men with very different backgrounds when it comes to how they think about foreign policy. that may be one of the reasons this is happening today, because it allows donald trump, the presumptive republican nominee, to reach out to the fopgop's foreign policy establishment. i'm told by the trump campaign they'd like to accomplish two things today. one, they'd like to just gather information, maybe learn if you're donald trump, from the experience of henry kissinger. but the second goal is more political. the trump campaign to like to send a message today, and that message what i'm told by this advisor, trump and the way he thinks about foreign policy is a realist. that's the word they're using. a realist, just like henry kissinger. his advisors think in the trump campaign to some degree that he's been unfairly portrayed as just being an isola

they sickly, the short version of the history is thomas president gerald ford issued an executive ordert said the united states would not conduct assassinations and use the term "political assassinations." people go, u.s. has a ban on assassination. every president since ford, including obama, has upheld that executive order that says the u.s. does not engage in assassinations. jimmy carter edited to take out the word "political" and add "contractors and other people working for the u.s. government." the u.s. government has issue ofy avoided the assassination because if it were to do so, it would call the question on one of the centerpieces of american doctrine around the world that we can kill whomever we want, wherever we want, whenever we want the cause. because we are america. and if congress had to say, define what is assassination was, which attempt to do that have been clobbered by the permanent establishment, then you would have to look at things like reagan's bombing of in an , thept to kill gadhafi bombing said bill clinton did in the early stages of his presidency there were
