gerri willis joins us with the very latest on that issue, hey, gerri. gerri: hey, ash. well, you know it's a well-known fact that simply driving a car, off a dealer lot in normal times a new one drops its value by 5- 10%, a car that's a-year-old is typically worth 25% less in the marketplace than what the owner paid for it, but do you know what? this is not a normal year. shortages of semiconductors and heavy discounts at the beginning of the covid-19 crisis are driving used car prices through the roof. check out our list of lightly- used cars, a year or so old, that are valued the same or more as this brand spanking new version of the same make and model and some of the ones that you see on here especially the camaro are worth more because they're collectors items and the camaro famous for featuring a mid-vehicle engine for the first time but most of the vehicles on this list like the trucks and the vans, well they're simply vehicles heavily promoted or as i said experienced chip shortages. even used conventional commuter cars like the toyota camry are drawing shocking

carl albert, the speaker of the house, tells richard nixon i can get you gerry ford if you want gerry ford. ford goes through an background investigation, because even as he's selected, there is this whirlwind of controversy surrounding richard nixon over the matter of watergate, nefarious activities that had taken place during the 1972 election and before involving secret tapes, bugging of opposition offices and a number of other issues that many people believed the president himself had been involved in. but what nixon was involved in was obstructing the investigation into that. even as ford is being investigated for the vice president, there are a number on capitol hill who believe they are choosing not just the next vice president, but president of the united states. so nixon nominated ford to fill the vacancy. of the vice presidency. over 400 fbi agents spread out across the united states to investigate congressman ford. he passes that investigation, the results of which are handed to congress. congress then schedules a vote on congressman ford's nomination and this is the card t

henceforth, gerry ford was a republican spokesman with a national audience. each week, he and senate leader, everett dirksen took the democrats to task. 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 sparrow agnu resigned in disgrace. >> my fellow americans, i proudly present to you, the man whose name i will submit to the congress of the united states for confirmation as the vice president of the united states. congressman gerald ford of michigan. >> the new vice president was a reassuring figure, whose obvious integrity aided 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 yea. all those opposed, no. >> it was a time of anxiety for the american people. to the vice pres

>> martha: thanks, gerri. said these plans from the white house and the fed will long to long-term economic decline. joining me to explain, larry kudlow and served as a top economic adviser to president trump. good to see you. we played a question that went to jen psaki in the white house press room that was very pointed. it said, you know, do you expect people to wait or what are they supposed to do that prices are rising? here's her answer. >> certainly not what i've said. but i will say our message is that we understand the threat that inflation poses. we will be vigilant about any responses needed. it's important for americans to know about understand that these impacts are temporary and some of the price increases are as a result of the economy turning back on. >> martha: are they temporary, larry? what's going on? >> the thing is -- gerri willis is right. a lot of the spikes in the cpi is coming from post pandemic economic recovery shortages, especially of chips, used car prices are absolutely soaring. y

gerri willis has the details. good to see you, gerri. reporter: good to see you liz.anhattan federal judge sentenced disgraced california lawyer michael avenatti to 2 1/2 years in prison for his attempt to extort an estimated $25 million from nike. avenatti, 50, was convicted on charges last year of trying to ex-iter money from the sports wear giant. nike had ended that is its league sponsorship. avenatti threatened to release his allegations of employee misconduct in a press conference on the eve of the nike earnings release at the start of the ncaa tournament. he promised to cancel the press conference in nike gave him $1.5 million and agree to hire him on a 15 to 25 million-dollar retainer. avenatti was a vocal opponent of president trump. he represented adult film star stormy daniels who claimed to have had an affair before trump as in office. the accusation shown a spotlight on avenatti. even reportedly led him to consider a 2020 presidential run at one point. avenatti already spent four months behind bars and over a year under home confinement. both will count t

he was ready for the challenge and in 1941 gerry ford graduated in the top third of his class. returning home to grand rapids he opened a law practice with his friend phillip bukin. but their plans were interrupted by foreign dictators. and gerald ford went off to war. for almost two years the aircraft carrier monterey would take him across 40 mousse miles of the pacific. his experience in ten major patless would 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 to conservative republican. i felt very strongly that the united states had to have an internationalist foreign policy. >> for the internationalist chose a hut for his headquarters in his uphill challenge of isolationist incumbent youngman. at stake was michigan's fifth district and the future of her party and his country. the red, white and blue kwan set caught people's attention and they listened to the young lawyer and war veteran as he stumped the w
