where as in dearborn, michigan, the production lines that henry ford created, all the parts, whether it's for a carburetor or breaks for transmission or whatever, were in hoppers on the floor above the line. if for some reason they were not interchangeable, they didn't all exactly fit, one came down the chute into the production line and didn't fit, then all of a sudden the production line would grind to a halt and made would stand rent smoking and chatting while someone worked out what it happen. money would be lost. the line would be interrupted. so precision was a key to making lots of things very cheaply, was not a key to the making of a rolls-royce because we did it as an exercise not so much full-scale production line manufacturing, but in craftsmanship. there was a dichotomy where craft and high precision engineering left, that was the beginning of the last century. >> you want to make it white should be royce-rolls. >> yes. henry royce laboring away the mechanics of this thing. when anyone sell them? how i'm a going to get the word out to the general public? after silver year

and for more on the impact we are joined by john grace president of investors advantage corp and henry ford which our friend the c.e.o. of stroll mark it john thanks for being here both of you thanks for being here john what happened in the u.s. stock markets were generally overall not good but explain. well it started out a good year two thousand and eight part and by the end of the year the s. and p. and the dow corning to yahoo finance rough about thirty seven percent their draw down did not stop there i believe it stopped around late march early april to a total decline for stocks of about fifty seven percent for two thousand and eight indeed in march march thirty first two thousand and nine and johnno better which were sort of the worst sector stocks hit. well it was a broad brush bart so it probably led with the financials given all the drama that you're just reporting on that we all remember so vividly i mean i happen to be a goldman sachs it was around november just before thanksgiving two thousand and eight and i will tell you coming out of a conference meeting a meeting in the con

henry ford. Â not all giant eyes and ears on earth are turned toward this spacecraft.sensing machines of a space particle alert network these the sun. from the sun is a hell of infinitely small pieces of matter. on earth, we are shielded from them by our atmosphere. the men and women monitor sunspots and a solar flare activity looking for plumes to an imminent rise and potentially habitus articles -- hazardous space particles. wider, deeper, stronger.

of straw mark our friend henry ford which. it's great of you to be with us thank you so much tell me. about what are the wealthiest nations in sort of the poorest nations and let's just take g.d.p. by g.d.p. right a great to be about thank you so the wealthiest nations are outside of the u.s. that is china germany japan and closely followed by the u.k. the poorest nation actually probably not many of our viewers have maybe even heard of tuvalu which used to be former ellis island in the polynesian islands but the poorest nations are actually a lot of the former communist countries and sub-saharan africa and then good and then in the middle east the big bright star of course is saudi arabia ok in it if you look at growth rates in the different regions you know sure. how are they looking for growth rates going forward yes and some of the hot spots coming up actually there are some of the emerging nations and then there are just growth rates so one of the most outstanding growth rates that continues and it's outpaced all nations

. >> it's the same paradox that henry ford pointed out with his own foundation attacking the system that made it possible. it's the privilege of wealth. in by generous alumni, it is an admirable instinct. it is unique in the world. but you have to start doing your due diligence of course, don't just stop giving money, tell them that you are. we have got to support the non- politicized study of greatness because that is what the university is therefore. if you have any clout with your university, look at the course catalog see if they are teaching constitutional history. does the english require shakespeare? probably not. we can give up it's not worth giving up. we are in the dead of the thinkers who went before to give beauty and greatness you just have to fight as hard and as long as you can. >> that's a good note to end on. thank you for coming. [applause] the diversity delusion. thank you. [inaudible conversations] . >> thank you for coming tonight. please turn off your cell phone and as you know, this is being recorded and will be on book tv in a few weeks. so for the q&a section ple

henry ford's car so they're on the way out that's the legacy you know they should just and we've covered that that can tell in a fact that can tell and a fact is is that all the money printed to bail out the likes of u.b.s. he mentions the evil bitcoin lives on i want to note in an article about this u.b.s. executive paul donovan blast between against a script as a fatally flawed they and their piece by say last month a french court refused a request by u.b.s. to drop money laundering charges against the bank which would result in paying almost sick. billion dollars in fines so again that the bank is used for money laundering the bank you know luckily they the c.e.o. of u.b.s. america had a very close relationship with obama otherwise they probably would not even be able to basically perform any banking services here in the country at this point because he did let the department of justice overlook their crimes but the fact is that you know the evil of of of u.b.s. and the banking system the legacy banking system lives on for this moment but i think they're not going to collapse together

henry ford's first plant which elicits in society about mass democracy. is it possible in a mass society for the equality that is promised in the declaration of independence to be possible and realize? at the same time, there is a new movement to restrict immigration in the united states which is at its peak in the 1920s and 24 on which this is being a funnel is being introduced. we don't talk about the funnel, no one is going to build a funnel anytime soon. this was a prominent way of thinking about the nature of the border during the 1920s. there is a new way of thinking about the united states representation only during the second world war one america comes to understand itself as a superpower. mostly because it was spared and will also be spared at home the devastation of the second world war begins to merge with the sensibility of comic books and superheroes and wonder woman in 1941. at the same time, there are these unsettling challenges to the idea that as one woman would say it's the last hope for democracy or captain america would say the same t

. >> bill gates, part thomas edison, part henry ford, part holden caulfield from "catcher in the rye.e dropped out of harvard to design computer software with his friend paul allen. they came up with a system that operates 90% of the personal computers today. >> microsoft was making a lot of money then. they were charging $200, $300, $400 for, say, a word processing package that really was costing them about 50 cents to print on floppies. >> hard working, modest, easy going, it would seem to a fault. of course, he does have at least one secret. but we'll fix that. is it true that you can leap over a chair from a standing position? >> it depends on the size of the chair but this chair, probably so. >> yes! >> i took a step before i did it. >> that's okay. >> bill gates wasn't just one thing. he was a brilliant guy. had great parents. family values. but he was a killer. he basically was a ruthless guy, and so was microsoft. >> no, no, no, no, no. somebody's confused. somebody's just not thinking. > there's no way. >> we'll figure it out. >> you guys never understood. you never understoo

greatest staff that's probably ever been put together in the automotive industry, right at least since henry fordand they have said what they've done so far is amazing at this point, many people are leaving. many people have left. and the question is can they actually replace them with anti-quality candidates. >> they talk about employee retention or lack of as being a huge issue i just wonder the pressure that he's under right now, how much of that is a reflection of a potential margin call that's going to come at a few months' time if the stock is not at a certain level, how much he has withdrawn from the company based on the stock being 3.16 or higher >> i think he's all in and committed to the company >> they borrowed against it. >> that's true i think if you were to talk to him, this is his identity. this is a man who genuinely sleeps at the factory and makes himself crazy. the problem is he also makes people around him to feel crazy. >> but he's used that to fund other projects too >> a little bit. look, if model 3 sells well, then the company is going to be financially healthy on that car.

so richard nixon, henry kissinger, the order of the day was detente. jimmy carter. when gerald ford became president after nixon resigned, he refused to meet alexander solzhenitsyn because of fears of offending the soviet union. jimmy carter gave a speech at notre dame in which he talked about overcoming our, quote, inordinate fear of communism. and then, this is absolutely the dominant mode of thinking in both parties. nixon, carter, then in 1977, ronald reagan is a former governor, he has not declared for president yet, they are talking about foreign policy, and he said, would you like to hear my theory of the cold war? of course. my theory is simple. we win and they lose. the question is, what gave him whatever it was, the courage, the insight, how did he so self confidently place himself in opposition to the entire mindset? >> he was not just being facetious as some people accused him of the time. what he was saying is, i have a strategy which is not just giving in or allowing a moral equivalency between marxism and freedom. it is a matter of knowing their vulnerability, both fr
