gerald ford senior who introduced his jerry and his three step brothers to sports including football. it was gerald ford's senior who opened up his own business in october of 1929, which is 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 senior was able to keep his business running without government support. he became too to the younger ford and example of strength and perseverance when facing terrible odds. he also influenced the younger ford's 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 all so religiously devout that two influenced forward but one thing about the ford family is it was it was an more of a personal spirituality? they weren't overt about it. but they were certainly very devout. and last but not least the forward parents insisted that their children do their chores and be honest. and that doing chores tied in was something else about gerald ford. he had a very strong work ethic. 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 d

gerald ford graduated in the top third of his clause. returning home to grand rapids, he opened a law practice with his friend, philip buchanan. but their plans were interrupted by foreign dictators. 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 bring a grace and a spirit to life they would share through the long years of politics. from his first day on capitol hill, congressman ford relished the work. and the course of 25 years and the house of representatives, the people's house, the man from grand rapids would earn the confidence of five presidents. although forwards easy and persuasive manner made him a valuable member of the republican team, in 1965, he again took on the establishment. this time, defeating veteran gop leader, charlie attic. he was a republican spokesperson with the national audience. each week, he and senate leader ever turks and took the democrats to task. for eight years, ford worked hard to make the republican minority into a force to be reckoned with. and, to realize his own personal dream. to serve as speaker of a republican house. but events ruled otherwise. in 1973, vice president spiro agnew resigned in disgrace. once more, for its life took nine expected turn. >> my fellow americans, i proudly present to you a man whose name i will submit to the congress of the united states for confirmation as the vice president of the united states, congressman geraldford of michigan. >> the new vice was a reassuring figure whose obvious integrity hated republican candidates and a beleaguered president. but each day brought new revelations of wrongdoing in the nixon administration. the watergate scandal was coming to a climax. by the summer of 1974, nixon's impeachment was before the house. >> all those in favor please signify by saying hi. >> i. >> hi. >> it was a time of anxiety for the american people. >> for the vice president, it was a time of anguish. he didn't know if the president would dig in and fight more resign. on august 9th, 1974, it was settled. . on the south lawn of the white house. a painful ceremony unfolded. >> returning to their new home, nixon successor reassured his wife. we can do it. soon, he would reassure the nation. >> for gerald ford, there was no transition period. no time to settle into the world's most demanding job. >> when i took the oath of office. and went back to the oval office. my desk was piled high with docu

gerald ford, and playing professional baseball for two seasons before he went to west point off the field, 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 holds together, but they were people who i think approached the presidency in a certain way. my father says what is wrong with being a trustee? and i think there's a role for that as we customarily think of presidents as party leaders but from time to time we need somebody who will call things

gerald horn, historian and author joining us here on the program this evening here. life for most good. thank you very much. a big hello to you this evening. let me let the finger pointing begin. gerald or who do you think could be behind this estimation attempt? well, there are a number of possible culprits. number one on the list or the religious zone ones who are on the marks, not only and molly, but we're health, health region. there are one of the reasons why francis decided to pull back in terms of the deployment of troops. and of course, ultimately you could point the finger back these ation and parents. because the parents that over the decades is treated molly, like a political football, intervening and interfering extensively and excessively. and molly's internal affairs helping to destabilize left wing elements which were bit foreign, redistributing the wealth, which creates a vacuum for the rise of these religious zealots. and now with the pulled back, apparently you see that the africa command of the us pentagon is now moving into that part of africa. you might recall that just a few weeks ago, africa had one of its largest military exercises in the african continent going back decade. and i would be remiss if i fail to mention the lurking role of turkey . turkey is beginning to make a major move in the areas of africa where muslims predominate and that certainly include tomorrow. well, it's interesting you bring in the idea of turkey. of course, you mentioned washington, russia and china, certainly in recent years, all of them making a lunch for various parts of africa, so called the, the bread basket off the world. let's just remind you of course, that monte was essentially under french rule and occupation from 18922900. 60 since $960.00. it's been more or less independent. you mentioned france. it hasn't denounced it. rather it did to announce the recent crew. i should say in molly, but on this latest event, nothing from paris so far. what do you expect commentary wise from the macro and government? well, the government is under fire on many different front. it's facing elections. with the face of mr. ma chrome being rather uncertain. now, these military interventions in africa are not very popular amongst the french electorate. and keep in mind that when you had a similar change of government and neighboring chat with the leader of shad being plane on the frontline of whiting just a few months ago, there was a circumvention of the champion constitution that led to the slain leader, son taking the preeminent role in the country, and rather than rebuking that rather unique term of the bit, you thought president mc chrome just in threw into mina the capital to chat and cheek by jowl with the point leader on putting frances and permits or on the circumvention of the constitution, so franz who pans i'm afraid to say or not clean, with regard to africa. what about what it, what do you make of the voting of the president go? it has rule is the popular because you have many enemies. one might ask, is the government very corrupt? i would say that his assumption to the highest of the land was not very popular. he had stall on having elections. the economic community of west african states, which is the regional body, has been in bama code, the capital a molly repeatedly in recent months and c. c power. in august 2020. they have pressured him to have the election sooner rather than later. he stole because he probably foresee that going into election will not be in his best interests. what about in your view? what kind of help do molly need right now from the international community? or should i ask you what virtually is part of the international community to blame for some of the issues right now? well, i think it's both. i think that the international community, particularly frank from united states or culpable with regard to this instability in molly because of the legacy of their cold war policy of liquidating any fortune on the left. but at the same time, i think it would be useful if the international community would investigate how these religious zealots are. so well art, that is to say that there is evidence to suggest that certain individuals, if not government in the persian gulf region, speaking of saudi arabia, speaking of the united arab emirates, that they are implicated with regard to this rise of so called as lama susan. in that part of africa, and you can say the same thing i'm afraid to say about northern molds and b were the so called womic state is also on the mark. not to mention northern nigeria where the so called warming states. likewise, on the march, with the latter being particularly dangerous because my jury is the heavy weight of the continent having the larger economy and the largest population as well. are interesting commentary from gerald horn, historian and author joining us live here on our international thanks a lot, appreciate it. thank you for a quarter past down here in moscow. huge wildfires, a raging and ne russia with a massive effort now underway to try and bring the entire situation under control. special fire fighting power troopers have been deployed in the battle and it's video we can show you try and show you them and action here. a power shooting down to hard to reach areas. now each of these troopers, they have a 20 liter box talk. suffice of flames and shovels, of course, to a big fire breaker lives. now we understand the emergency services, volunteers, and locals have all been doing that bit to try and balance the flames in your kuta think smokers timeframe the efforts in the worst it areas. now, according to the emergencies ministry, there are close to $200.00 wildfires bonding. right now, with specialist helicopters, drafted into help for as far as are also boating, another, another region that is

gerald ford, who seemed like a decent man who always want to do the right thing. i was at a branch at the home of the housing secretary when we began to hear that gerald ford was about to pardon richard nixon. it seems like it was a signal that had come from outer space, some kind of alien environment, but in fact it was true. tables were overturned. people rushing to cars trying to get to the office and to the white house to follow, story to figure out what was going on. i ended up in the white house and the phones were ringing off the hook. it was instantly and enormously unpopular decision. i've always believed that president ford was essentially a decent man, prepared the country in some fashion by saying that i am going to ask president nixon to acknowledge his wrongdoing, to find some way for him to say to the country how long -- run he was because he hadn't done that. then i'm going to consider the pardon, a kind of negotiation that would go on in any kind of a prosecution. he wanted to put it behind him as quickly as possible. 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
