he said to me at one point in time, why did you fire henry kissinger, just a name that came to me from nowhere, and you said, you know, when you are flying a plane, it doesn't really make much sense to shoot the pilot. they were just getting their feet on the ground, and here were all of these nixon loyalist saying to him, you have to pardon the president. their original logic was let's put the nightmare behind us, but then it started getting personal. towards the middle of august, ford started getting reports from san clemente that richard nixon was ill. nixon, as i am sure many of you know, at almost debilitating phlebitis, and this is a photograph of him later on. i think probably judging from the photograph it is probably the late 1970's, early 1980's, going for one of his many operations for phlebitis, and one of the people who went out to see nixon at san clemente right after the resignation comes back and reports to ford, and he says, you know, this president is going to be dead before the election. and ford says 1976 is a long way off, and he is saying, 1976 is a long way off,

he said at one point in time why didn't you fire henry kissinger, a name that came from nowhere. he said when you're flying a plane, doesn't make much sense to shoot the pilot. they were just getting their feet on the ground. and here all of the nixon loyalists saying to him, you have to pardon the president. the original logic was let's put the nightmare behind us. it started to get personal. in the middle of august ford started to get reports that richard nixon was ill. nixon as you know had almost debilitating phlebitis. this is probably the late 1970s early 1980s that he's going on to one of his many operations for phlebitis. one of the people who went out to see nixon right after the resignation comes back and reports to ford and he says you know, this president is going to be dead before the election. and ford says you know 1976 is a long way off. he says i'm not talking 1976 i'm talking 1974 in three months. so ford is getting these reports back. having written about gerald ford having the material at the library, having met him on a number of occasions, i can say with abs

if henry kissinger can knock in a nail or cannot knock in a nail. nobody would expect he could do that. it was a bit strange to think that just because somebody is a great industrialist you must be a world famous expert on everything. now there are very unusual moments in the whole ford affair. one of the most unusual was when henry ford in the midst of printing these articles sent a gift as he regularly did top detroit's famous reform rabbi, rabbi franklin, leo franklin well in the middle of a whole series of anti-semitic articles what do you think he did when he got a free car from henry ford? he returned it. you must have the wrong person here. jews are all sorts of things. how can you offer me a gift? apparently henry ford was deeply surprised. i'm talking about the jews i'm not talking about you. and this, even though this is humorous to us. it does remind us of an important theme in the scholarship on anti-semitism which we talked about also early on. the mythical jew and the jew next door. to henry ford, rabbi franklin is the jew next door. o

after that, henry kissinger comes in. s a tradition for the foreign-policy speeches, henry would walk the present back 500 the oval office to the residence, this night, and henry asked if he could do the same. >> tough for him. tougher for me. for many rked together years. in many good rattles, we had one most, and lost some as well. i told him i thought the country would be in good hands. i told him that i thought was very important to keep henry kissinger. he agreed, and said that he thought we had a fine cabinet. leaving, i were said, i'm going to tell you so well g -- i remember conversations i had with president eisenhower. as a matter of fact, the last had with him.i on the phone, he said he wanted to wish me well. then, he said, you know, i only the state -- et on this is the last time that i can never call you dick, mr. president. and i said, this is last time i call you jerry, mr. president. to his eyes tear -- to mine too. after the speech, i went over to the residence. henry was very thoughtful, he said, would y

after it, henry kissinger comes in and asks, there was a tradition, and henry would walk the president back the 500 feet or what ever it is from the oval office to the residents of the white house in itself. and so this night, henry comes and asks if he could do the same on this occasion. >> tough for him. tougher for me. we had worked together for many years. he had come to congress just a year after me. we had fought many good battles and one most -- and won most, lost a few. i told him i thought that the country would be in very good hands. i told him it was important to keep henry kissinger, and he agreed, and i told him i thought we had a very fine cabinet. as i was leaving, i said, i meant to tell you something. i said, i remember so well one of the last conversations i had with president eisenhower. in fact, the last conversation i had with him before i was inaugurated. he called me on the phone. he said he wanted to wish me well. and then he went on to say, his voice broke a bit when he said it, you know, i have only one regret on this great day. this is the last time that i ca

people like henry kissinger and others say, a, ukraine is part of the traditional sphere of influence and it is not a vital interest of the united states. and b, why don't we just cut a deal with the russians where ukraine agrees never to seek membership in nato and makes the necessary adjustments and its trade agreement with the eu so ukraine is kind of a finland? that is kind of an analogy that kissinger and others have used. that's the best way to pursue what american interests are in this situation. what have you said in response to that argument? >> i have the utmost respect and admiration for those individuals. but i think it does not comport with the situation on the ground. the situation on the ground today as they've already taken crimea. they've already had the "separatists" takeover in donetsk and the eastern ukraine. if you're going to work on something like that. the only scenario i could see is return crimea to ukraine, get out of eastern ukraine, and then maybe we could talk about a finland divinization of ukraine. right now, the fact on the ground are does anyone belie

but this one actually in the words of henry kissinger has the additional benefit of being true. a few years ago a tv network was number four spot, which was at that point the lowest spot. now it's number 97 as the lowest spot. they owned all the intellectual property for the $6 million man, which if you are over 90 you remember the show. a friend of mine had a great idea to revitalize the idea of the $6 billion man so they had to find the $6 million man titled the majors, the surprise, surprise is available at the time. it's kind of a funny twist that of course the federal funding gets cut in they kind of had a hard time focusing. i guess he was on the va plan or something. and so, he gave his pitch to us to try out. it was great. he went to the number president who had been a former actor. this is a crucial detail any page to the president and the executives great story. the number of president said that's great. they'll be great, fantastic. and here's why. because when i was an actor, i did not do so at the $6 million man and lee majors was a total to me. he didn't use the wor

and that itself the thing that i have been working on for the last 22 months spent time with henry kissinger yesterday a great example, george schultz at the hoover aei with the brookings institute folks, listening to both sides, absorbing that listening to them coming up with concept itself and how to deal with this myriad of issues you nation as the leader of the free world. before that as a candidate and you are going to be tested and you will be tested greatly, as you should be. >> and again, getting fogged down and beaten up we've always talked about i. every time we go out and give speeches to young people. we say, what's the best thing that can happen to you? we say, get the left hook you never see coming the next time you get knocked down you will see it coming. >> that's why i was asking you. >> let me tell you, texas governor's detail do not try to run through the governor's mansion. >> okay. >> because shannon o'neal the lady on our detail. >> she will knock you down. >> dead down. >> you will meet justice. >> you will meet justice. get down baby. >> okay. no, that's why i was say

sitting at the feet of henry kissinger and george schultz, picking their brains about what's going onworld, that has paid great dividends. if i make the decision to run for the presidency, i will be prepared. >> reporter: but this is the second largest state in the union and you have talked about the great strides you've made with this state. why isn't that enough experience? >> well, there's a great deal of difference between putting economic policies into a state and being very cognitive and versed in foreign policy, in monetary policy or domestic policy for that matter. >> reporter: last week, jeb bush became the first republican to make official news towards a 2016 run. >> jeb's a good man, a good friend. great family, good governor of florida. as a matter of fact, i think jeb getting into the race will help the field. >> reporter: how so? >> he's been a successful governor. again, having a person of his background in the race makes a lot of sense. but it won't make a difference about whether i get in or not. >> reporter: in texas, there are a lot of donors that jeb bush might wel

i have no idea if henry kissinger cannot in a nail -- can knock in a nail.ne would expect he would be able to do that. it was strange to think that just because someone was an industrialist who must be a world-famous expert on everything. there are unusual moments in the ford affair. one of the most unusual was when henry ford, in the midst of printing these articles, sent a gift, as he regularly did, to detroit's famous reformed rabbi franklin, leo franklin. in the middle of a series of anti-semitic articles, what do you think rabbi franklin did when he got a free car from henry ford? he returned it. "you must have the wrong person here. you have just accused jews of all sorts of things. how can you offer me a gift?" apparently, henry ford was deeply surprised. i am talking about the jews, i'm not talking about you. even though this is humorous to us, it does remind us of an important theme in the scholarship of anti-semitism which we talked about early on, the mythical jew and the jew next door. to henry ford, rabbi franklin is the jew next door. he is hig

he wrote the pakistani taliban are not a bunch of henry kissingers in waiting, but rather willing to kill scores of children. tim, do you see this as this turning point within pakistan? how would this affect national security where you are? >> i do think that, you know, pakistanis in general view this as their 9/11. walking around, even, in islamabad today where this was unfolding. you saw people staring at the televisions with that sort of blank stare of disbelief that we saw in the united states on september 11th. now the question is, what can with done about it? the pakistani military is engaged in a substantial operation against these militants. and they're fighting a war on their own soil. it's a lot different than fighting a war abroad. so they have to go about this methodically and they're trying to sort of deal with this as best as they can. but how do they elevate this to the next level to sort of try to crush this problem for good? and i think anyone believes this will continue to be a yearlong struggle. this is not going to be resolved easily, soon, and this conflict will

moment where there was a cancellation and he filled it to daft punk to jeff bridges and even henry kissingerhe guests next year. from the tv anchor to one of the greatest real anchors and while we have been on the news this hour, we have learned wonderful news about nbc's tom brokaw and i will share it with you in a moment. ♪ go! go! wow! go power...oats! go! made from oats cheerios! cheerios! go, go, go! go power oats! go! cheerios! go power! go...power! yayyyy! i was thinking about htaking this speed test from comcast business. oh yeah? if they can't give us faster internet or save us money, they'll give us 150 bucks. sounds like a win win. guys! faster internet? i have never been on the internet and i am doing pretty well. does he even work here? don't listen to the naysayer. take the comcast business speed test. get faster speeds or more savings, or we'll give you $150. comcast business. built for business. >>> welcome back. we have been covering the sony cyber attack h this morning and before we sign off, i have to say this, i understand why the theater owners and sony pulled the movie

fast forward to the ford administration there was an attempt pie henry kissinger as part of the overall envisioned and that was interrupted when the cubans sent troops to angola to repel the invasion by south africa. carter separation probably the most important initiative, president carter actually ordered his bureaucracy to begin a process of nowization for the first year things moved smoothly in that direction. and then that was brought to a halt when the cuban sent troops into ethiopia. so they've been a number of opportunities, but it's intervened at each stage to prevent us from getting over this. >> rose: how badly do the cubans want this? >> i think today they would like to see better relations. but i think one interesting thing we found in our research is that the cubans have reached out to almost every president even the most hard lined president over the years with questions, with gestures, with messages of potential reconciliation. they want reconciliation on grounds of mutual respect. they want the revolution respected. they're not going to negotiate away love system of gov

the secretary of state was henry kissinger. transportation, a brilliant lawyer, william coleman, the first african-american clerk on the , john dunlop from m.i.t., the secretary of harvard , elliot richardson came back to the congress department. this was, i think, a testament a quality that i have not goingn presidents since back many years, which is humility. i think our government was founded by formidable men at the a great sense of humility. the first amendment, which promises religious freedom, did not just recognize the diversity of opinion. many of the founders were devoutly religious men. but they also understood the unknowable nature of the divine and respected people with different views if they held them with integrity. shared president ford those qualities. he knew there were good people in congress and that the executive branch did not have a monopoly on wisdom and that the country would be better served if there was a collaborative process. he found an- attorney general who had a sophisticated understanding of ex
