and he pitches gerald ford on the job. for a weekend respite and he finds out he's been passed up. instead, gerald ford will appoint nelson rockefeller. >> all in all it's a first class choice, let's face it. i was just flattered to be in that league. >> you don't seem awfully personally disappointed. >> you just see what you see on the outside. >> it's a devastating moment. >> he was constantly reaching for the very summit of american politics and every time he got close, he would get pushed back down again. gerald ford offered george bush a number of positions including what could be called glamour ambassadorships to britain and france. >> he wanted to get out, away. it had been an exhausting year and a half of slugging it out. >> many people were surprised that the place that george bush asked to go was to china. in those days going to china was like going to the dark side of the moon. >> even though it wasn't the sexy post by any means, he chose to go there because he saw it as this opportunity. he could tell that chin

so chevy chase has been lampooning gerald ford for some while. and the two of them meet on some similar occasion. and -- and chevy chase sort of wants to let ford know that this is all in good fun. and so he says gerald ford, you are really actually a very good president. and ford without missing a beat said, and you chevy chase are a very funny suburb. but i will tell you for my money, for my money, the best presidential "saturday night live" connection is one that goes full circle with dana carvey and george h.w. bush. so dana carvey became famous for his characterization of bush. and bush is sometimes telegraphic style of speech. and while bush was president, he -- you know, he would smile and that's funny, funny. so after he left the white house, he no longer had to do that. but george h.w. bush i had the honor and the pleasure to encounter him a few times. i used to teach at texas a&m at the george bush school of service. i got to meet him. he would come to my classes. he always struck me as one of the most decent individuals to occupy the wh

. >> gerald ford emerged as the favorite and there's this great speculation that there could be a dreamicket. ronald reagan as president, gerald ford, former president, as vice president. >> we came not asking for a job. we came here not expecting -- >> dejected, george and his team watch as gerald ford interviewed by walter cronkite. >> it is true that i did have a meeting with governor reagan. >> it's looking more and more likely like ford is going to be reagan's pick to be vice president. and we were quite down. we thought it was over. we were making plans to leave. >> george begins to pack his bags to go back to texas. it's getting on to midnight. he then gets a phone call. >> and i answered the phone and this voice on the phone that i recognized said governor reagan would like to speak to ambassador bush. >> turns out that ronald reagan has also been watching the cronkite interview. >> i would not go to washington and be a figure head vice president. >> it's got to be something like a co-presidency. >> that's something that governor reagan really ought to consider. >> reagan is not

we are going to see gerald ford and, somewhere buried in here, is a guy named ronald ragan.hen he was governor of the state of california. as we look up above, we don't always have living grand marshals. kermit the frog, mickey mouse, we had sully sullenberger who saved 128 people in the hudson river several years ago. to the timengs us where we should take a look at the court room to talk about the rose queens. let's take a look at the portrait on the world -- wall of the 2019 rose queen. the hundred first for the 130th parade. this is queen louise. this is basically the way we refer to the queen. just queen and the first name. that is the same with the princesses. the crown on her head is worth $180,000. it is given by mickey moto each year. and it stays with mickey moto. here is an example of the older crowns. the one i like the most is the one down here, second row. it is the 1939 rose queens crown. and what is interesting about it, she got to take it home. pinsse it breaks down into for the blouse and bracelets. we are going to step into a room that is not used at all f

from a franklin roosevelt in 1945 to gerald ford in 1975. in the early sessions, we reviewed the historic dislike of the vietnamese people for the chinese. theas it turned out, vietnamese disliked any foreign power. whether it was the mongolians, french, or japanese. we learned that franklin d roosevelt was convinced that vietnam, or indochina, as it was called at the time should be a trusteeship until governments could be formed. from truman was pressured conditions in europe. recall andt france eyes indochina. france would not last and pulled out of indochina after the defeat. the overall context of our involvement in vietnam was the cold war. back.s. needed to fight any soviet incursion throughout the world. anyan was funding anti-communist government. we also need to recall that in the 50's, it was a time that the catholic church was very anti-communist. later, senator mccarthy was finding communists in the state department, or so he said. eisenhower then started talking about the domino effect. int is if one country southeast asia false

gerald ford was over the top. >> reagan lost to gerald ford and then ford lost to jimmy carter, which you might make other would-be presidential candidates think of the whole pick a veep out of the gate strategy. that didn't stop ted cruz from dusting off the reagan playbook and give it another shot. tried to appeal to voters who wanted a women in carly fiorina as his running mate. we now how that turned out for senator cruz and carly fiorina. >> help me welcome your next first family, heidi cruz, your next first lady, carolyn and katherine and the next president of the united states, ted cruz. ♪ ♪ >> he just kept shaking everybody's hand. okay. okay. so this grand gesture by ted cruz, you know, it backfired. but you could see what he was going for, same thing reagan was going for, making an early vice presidential pick to secure more voters than he might have been able to do on his own. we're already seeing hints of that in the 2020 race. this one actually might just wore. we saw it when senator cory booker sat down right here with rachel at this very desk when asked if he would comm

the first and only appointed president, gerald ford, and the cold war that was at its peak. >> that's right. the cold war in some ways, it goes into de taunt, and that period, in a period of flux but global affairs are in a real state of turmoil. you've got the end of the vietnam war really taking place from 1973 to 1975. the opec oil crisis. there is a great deal of chaos and it seemed to us to be a moment that was right for seeing the start of the unmaking of the old post war order that governed not just the u.s. but the entire western world, and think about new trends that came about. >> what did you learn? >> i learned a lot. what we learned in this book is that -- for us it was a real adventure because we were writing about the history of our own lives. i was born in 1972. julien was born a couple of years earlier. it was a process of rediscovering things we thought we knew. both as teachers and people who grew up in these decades. >> what surprised you, as you look back at the presidencies of jimmy carter, ronald reagan, george h.w. bush? >> what really surprised us, the reagan

gerald ford was in office.don't think that speaks, there was a time and in american history we had the most robust -- >> if you want to go back and find the times when the trade deficit go down, go back to the great depression, gerald ford, the great recession. trade deficits decrease when the economy decreases. when things get worse because consumers have less money and because investors say, i don't want to buy u.s. assets. quit complaining about trade deficits. do trade barriers matter? tariffs? yes. things going to china with intellectual property, absolutely. we should care an awful lot about those but still focus on the trade deficit because -- kennedy: it's like putting out before you're engaged. put a ring on it, everyone knows that! >> i am putting a ring on it. kennedy: a decent young man. let's talk about the deficit back home. the other deficit. >> you want to care about this one. of the budget coming out, next week. next week the president's proposed budget. the headlines you will see our president

. >> gerald ford in 1970, this wasn't about richard nixon, gerald ford said an impeachable offense isr the house of representatives considers it to be at a given moment in history. that was his take in 1970. paul, to you. of the things that are now out there and of the issues where we have now seen the evidence, what are the instances where you think there are, perhaps, impeachable crimes? >> well, i would say not impeachable crimes, but impeachable activities. there are some activities the president's engaged in that are also possibly criminal conduct. for example, the violations of the tax laws that seem to have been at the heart of some of mr. cohen's testimony. but i think far more important for congress to look at are those activities that aren't crimes but that are abuses of presidential authority. for example, trying to direct the acting attorney general to shut down an investigation of his own conduct. potentially the story that we've just heard in the last couple of days about ordering the government to give a security clearance to someone who the government believed was a se

presidentase we saw harding was gerald ford pardoning nixon and he was defeated at the ballot box.: the fact that these people in his inner circle like paul manafort are being tried. ron: he is being tried in the court of public opinion, and having been to the white house several times, most members of the staff had all the cable networks on their walls. what are they looking at? trmanafortp, collusion. where is theresident's message getting out? laura: is there a danger for the president as we approach the le2020ion campaign that he begins to be associated with a culture of criminality when peopleo closem had been sentenced to jail for crimes? ron: thega whole inveson initiated with russian collusion, but now the democrats he is going to run ainst are able to say there is a pattern of conduct, those who are close to the preside, those who associated with the president are on trial or going to jail. laura: the preside has complained repeatedly of presidential harassment. how much is it gettinto him? ron: it has to. it would get to me, it would get anyone if the people you have been

becomesur gerald ford one in a line of presidents who cannot get a handle on this at all, right? meg: yeah, you know, so he makes a really interesting decision, one which is hard to fathom today, which is really sort of an ideological decision because in 1974 and 1970 five, in part because of the oil shocks, the economy goes into recession and he has a democratic congress and they want a huge public works spending bill. and he says, you know, i not am going to do that because i think inflation is a bigger threat than depression, and so they negotiate back and forth. he really embraces this austerity agenda which we will see in our more recent history , but it starts with ford. and he suffers, and he pays the consequences for it. bill: yeah, which brings us to jimmy carter to the white house. you write, excuse me, again. you write that it would be up to jimmy carter and the democrats to take the reins of power and chart the future policy where ford and the conservatives had left off. this as nixon, carter, nixon, ford and now carter are going to this monumental problem. it is a go

gerald ford takes over -- you know, you have a great quote from ford in his -- in the days that he came into office. he says -- and i think it's a direct quote -- "the state of our economy is not so good." [laughter] meg: right. it was sort of one of the gloomiest speeches, you know? [laughter] meg: no interruptions for applause, you know? and he really had this sort of doomsday mentality. and so did the advisers around him. people like alan greenspan and william simon and donald rumsfeld and dick cheney. and they believed that the oil crisis was going to bring the united states down. because it was making us vulnerable on the international stage. the oil shortages were a problem for our country, because we use so much in the aggregate, but proportionally, the shortage was an even bigger problem for our european and japanese allies, who were even more dependent on oil imports. so they were incredibly worried, ford's policymakers, that in their sort of need to secure their own access to oil, that our allies would sort of break off from us. bill: we're going to make a quick trip through t

the first of and only appointed president in gerald ford, and the cold war at its peak. kevin: it goes into detente at that period but it is in a state of flux. you got the end of the vietnam 1973 tong place over 1975, the opec oil crisis. there was a great deal of chaos. it seemed to be a moment that theripe for making post-cold war order and think about new trends that came about. steve: what did you learn? kevin: i learned a lot. for us, it was a real adventure because we were really writing about the history of our own lives. ofwas a process rediscovering things we thought we knew as teachers and people who had grown up in these

gerald ford had a primary challenge in 1976. has the biggest megaphone. he has access to millions of people on cable television whenever he wants. democratic candidates are speaking to smaller slivers of voters. of the early states, the expectation is that at most, there will be 250 or 300,000 people participating in the iowa caucus. you are talking about a small slice of the country that the candidates are holding their message to. president trump can spend his time trying to talk to everyone. >> the other thing he has going for him is the economy. dotainly, democrats can and say on the campaign trial that there is rising income inequality. all that is true but president trump can point to some strong numbers in terms of joblessness and he is doing that, which increases the power of the incumbency. when it comes to democrats, no one has gone negative yet. that probably cannot hold. i will be waiting and watching what happens when and if they start picking at each other to whatever degree they do. that will affect the ability for them to come together and

to have you had mike pence as president you know i think mike pence would end up being at best a gerald ford figure. he would probably serve out the remainder of trump's term and not win reelection at this point i've reached the point i kind of wonder about where mike pence is moral compass is given the compromises he's had to make as a as a republican as you know and as a human to continue to support donald trump as all these things go on i think he's complicit in a lot of the behavior of the president the white house right now so i would have more trouble than i perhaps i would have you know three years ago if you'd said to me three years ago hey mike pence might be president we're going to knock you know mainstream conservative republican but now he's got so polluted by trump i think there are a lot of dangers for him going forward what route home again would you like to see president you know i've called me a diehard but i'd love to see mitt romney sit in that chair right now i think he's got a lot more judgment and heart and i think that some of that would be the party needs to steer it

president gerald ford secretary of state at the time. in the one nine hundred seventy four document that was long kept classified he demanded the massive d. population of developing countries and declared abortion to be an indispensable tool for population control. no country has reduced its population growth without resorting to abortion. while women in the united states were still heading to the streets to demand the right to control their own bodies american foundations and politician. were pressuring developing countries to legalize abortion. in the following decades a massive surplus of men was created in asia through the abortion of daughters the consequences are only present in india today. once again those who suffer most are girls and women of low socio economic standing . like nineteen year olds and gina. my mother an older sister died on two consecutive days i was six months old at the time. then my father contracted polio and my grandmother raised me. my father went out to beg and we lived off what he brought back. to us abou

richard nixon talks about it, gerald ford works on a commission for the and plays a lot of golf and jimmy carter pursuits interest in the carter library in terms of the middle east and the problems of the inner cities. >> going back out on the mashed potato. >> i am trying to get the public to demand changes, line item for a veto. the balance budget amendment, that most of the states have but the federal government does not have. thomas jefferson called attention to that. and, there are things that, well, for example, the 22nd amendment passed by our own party as revenge for roosevelt. it says two terms is the limit for a president. this is the only office that is elected by all of the people. i think that is an infringement on the democratic rights of the people. now that i am out of office so they can not accuse me of wanting to do it for myself i am going to see if i can not mobilize the demand. it is against their democratic rights to vote for whoever they want to vote for and for how long. >> we will see a lot of ronald reagan speaking around the country. >> yeah. >> and if you look

"snl" has been doing it since 1976 starting with gerald ford and every president can take a joke. >>sy. >> at the president is not wrong when he says the late-night shows are executed. comedy is comedy, you don't cut funny. "saturday night live" is funny whether you like it or not. >> regardless of where your politics are, people think there are better costs and better gears. are there any investigations under the evil time doctrine, one side or one politician to go after the other or is not just a complete pipedream? >> they have absolutely no legal obligation, to be fair and balanced. we have and we can't have it both ways. >> the funny thing is, he actually hosted the show a couple years ago and there were other republican candidates who were still on the primary with him than his head, what about us? and if anything, the president has had his bite at this apple. maybe they should invite him back now to host again. i think he knows and they know that would get a whole lot of eyeballs. in the meantime, i won't hold my breath on that sec investigation. >> it's not happening. did a r

snl has been doing it since 197630 with gerald ford and every president can take a joke. >> i want topo, he was on neil cavuto's show to talk about this controversy. >> the president is not wrong when he says the late-night shows are skewed. comedy is comedy, you don't cut funny. saturday night live is funny with you like it or not. >> that would debate that regardless where your politics are, but that aside do they have any obligation under the equal time doctrine if they are making one side to go after the other or is that a complete -- >> they have absolutely no legal obligation at all to be fair and balanced period. that insures they have full freedom and we have full freedom to be completely unfair and unbalanced when we want to give speech. be careful what you wish for, you are being serious. heather: the funny thing is he hosted the show a couple years ago and other republican candidates were still in the primary with him said what about us and there had to be a deal worked out with the ability to air those candidates and what they had to say so if anything the president has ha

>> as you remember gerald ford said the standard for impeachment in the house is whatever the house sayst shows the insanity that for the current in congress -- the idea a president of the united states would willingly take the help of a hostile foreign power to make money or whatever reason he's in bed with america's adversary, that should be enough. it should be eflf tnough for republicans on impeachment. the fact that they don't care, they don't mind. no. current republicans, this party is a colt of personality and schaubingly enough and it depressingly enough they don't care. >> well, it shows robert mueller is not a politician, apparently looking at the law, very narrowly and not looking for a frighting aspects of the united states and they were doing what they wanted done because why did we change the republican platform? why was the president so gungho pro-moscow all these years? thank you, sir. that's "hardball" for now. "all in" with chris hayes starts right now. ♪ er >>> good evening from new york. i'm chris hayes. the brab news the political world has been anticipating for wee

gerald ford was over the top. >> ford lost to carter which you think would make other presidential candidates think twice. that did not stop texas senator ted cruz from dusting off the regan playbook and giving it another shot in 2016 when he tried to energize the campaign and peel off voters that wanted a woman on the ticket by carly f as his running mate. we know how that worked out for carly fiorina. >> help me welcome your next first family, heidi cruz, caroline and kathryn and the next president of the united states ted cruz. ♪ ♪ >> he just kept shaking even's hand. making an early vice presidential pick to secure voters. we are seeing hints of that in 2020 race. this one actually might just work. we saw it when senator cory booker sat down are rachel right here at this very desk when asked if he would commit to putting a woman on the ticket as a running mate. senator booker said he would be looking at women first. shortly after announcing that he was in, beto o'rourke says if he wins the nomination he would also pick a woman as his running mate. so this is now a thing but now move over

the most recent three, gerald ford losing to jimmy carter, jimmy carter losing to ronald reagan in 1980 losing to bill clinton in 1992. can a newcomer overcome those odds? >> absolutely. i think a newcomer is actually more empowered to overcome those odds as a democrat than somebody who's been around for a while. when you see who the democrats tend to choose that win, bill clinton first time he ever ran for president. he was 46. barack obama. first time he ever ran for president, only two years as a senator, he was 47. jimmy carter, he was 52. he's only a one term governor from georgia, he was a peanut farmer. democrats tend to win when they think somebody who is an outsider coming at it with a fresh face, fresh voice. we have a few candidates that are out there, kamala harris, cory booker, beto o'rourke. a few candidates that are in the race and we'll see what happens. >> senator amy klobuchar lays out a trillion dollar plan to rebuild this country's infrastructure. the plan would create millions of jobs. cory booker at a town hall last night, he mentioned that black and brown people a

. >> gerald ford testified before the house saying that there was no deal leading to the nixon pardon. he did that to the fall of 1974. there sure is. some of these old traditions, executive privilege is a tradition. it's not something that's in the contusion. >> yeah. and lastly, is there an person that has so much debt looking for it for foreign sources and who is in a position to read the presidents' daily brief? >> and if he used his position, if he did, to essentially compromise our american security interests to get money to bailout his family in that bidding, that is something that we have never seen before and you have to assume that whoever leaked this, if this is someone in the white house felt that this was such an outrage and such a danger that there might be future such behavior if jared kushner or wife had top security clearances would be a clear or present danger, we have to look at this as a cry for help. >> extraordinary. he knew historical record being set every day. nbc presidential michael here to unpack it for us. appreciate it. >> see you soon. >> still ahead ton

everyone has done it since this became an issue with gerald ford, not an issue with him, but starting with yerled ford because it was an issue with richard nickson, president nixon. but no, there shouldn't even have to be an extraordinary measure to ask the president to do what is appropriate to do. there's some measures people have out there that says that anybody who wants to run for office should put forth, you know, if you're the nominee of the party that you should put our tax returns forward. i don't know -- chairperson neal of the ways and means committee, i don't know what form that will take. the committee will make its judgment based on ironclad constitutionality about how we o forward. david: in the tax word, there was a tax cut in the first part of president trump's administration that the democrats opposed. now that you're in charge are reverse thattry to r make changes to taxes? ms. pelosi: the ways and means committee will decide what we do about taxes. so many come to us and say if we could only just fix this, if we could only just fix this. and we're saying, we really

obviously there, as gerald ford famously said, impeachment is whatever a majority of the house of representatives says by way of an article of impeachment. i do think, though, that the standard still would be, is it a high crime, emphasis on the word "crime." and the justice department now, through the office of special counsel, has made a determination both with regard to collusion and with regard to obstruction that there's not sufficient evidence that a crime was committed. it seems to me -- by the president. it seems to me that that finding has consequence, and it not only has consequence insofar as the criminal law is concerned, but it's certainly, although it's not determinative, it does bear upon the question of what the congress intends to do about it, if anything. >> carrie, last night you accurately guessed that attorney general barr did not take only 48 hours to reach his decision regarding obstruction. i wonder what you made of the news that barr had roughly three weeks heads-up from mueller that mueller wasn't going to make a decision on obstruction, that it was going to be up to bar

just as justice john paul stevens did for president gerald ford who appointed him.r more recently, david sluder who george h.w. bush put on. that was the way. a president of one party could end up with an appointee who did not adopt all his ideology or policies. now, you really don't have that. brian: these are the ages of all the justices. justice ginsburg, 86. justice roberts, 64. justice sotomayor, 64. clarence thomas, 70. its 51.uch brett kavanaugh is 54. brian: -- joan: you got it exactly right. it says the younger ones are the conservatives the two in their 80's are the liberals. depending on what happens to any 9 and president trump gets another appointee, the court could move further to the right. nation and for the for the supreme court of will becomes president in 2020 because of these ages. brian: how many years have you covered the court? since 1989.ime, when i started at the washington post as a supreme court reporter it was 1992. brian: your first appearance on this network. 1990. we are going to show a little bit of it right now. joan: this is my puni

>> gerald ford testified before the house saying there was no deal leading to the nixon pardon. he did that in the fall of 1974: there sure is. so some of these old traditions, executive pri executive privilege is a tradition. it's not something that's in the constitution. >> and lastly, is there an antisant antecedent to a jared kushner, someone who had so much debt, and was in a position to read the presidents' daily brief. >> and if he used his position, if he did to essentially compromise our american security interests in order to get money to bail out his family in that building, that is something that we have never seen before, and you have to assume that whoever leaked this, if this is someone in the white house, felt that this was such an outrage and there was such a danger that there might be future such behavior if jared kushner or his wife had top security clearances that they would be a clear and present danger. we've got to look at this as a cry for help. >> it's all extraordinary. new historical records being set every day. thank you, sir, really appreciate it. >>
