mrs. ford gazed towards her husband's west wing office. this program is about an hour. >> i'm jodie steck, and i'm the av archivist at the george w. bush library. if i make a mistake, my boss is in the front row, and not to mention my former bosses. anyway. i have been a photojournalist probably longer than many of you have been on this earth, and the one sure thing i know is that anybody can pick up a digital cameras, but it takes a very special person to capture the moment. the three people i'm about to introduce do just that. carol powers, when you look at her images, see her images on the screens, you're going to feel the moment when mrs. barbara bush is sitting on the chair with millie watching her husband play tennis. you're going to feel that moment. you're going to feel the moment and feel the emotion when she hugs her arms around an aids child. susan sterner, you're going to feel the tension in the air when mrs. laura bush arrives in afghanistan for the first time. you're going to feel

but mrs. ford and president ford had such an incredible sense of humor and a lack of vanity about themselves. this is, by the way, taken in the -- in the kitchen of their home in alexandra, virginia, which is a very modest, split-level place and they lived there almost two weeks after they became -- or after he became president. and this is lady bird johnson and mrs. ford and the two johnson girls. and they're being shown the white house living room -- or bedroom. and when i did an edit for this book i did on the ford presidency, i looked back, and i wondered -- i forgot that suitcases of the picture, this was right before mrs. ford went out to bethesda naval hospital where she ultimately had a mastectomy, and she never told mrs. johnson that she was going there that day. and this is in the hospital with bob hope. bob hope's name comes up quite a bit. he was the one that said that president ford made golf a contact sport. but mrs. ford recovered nicely from this operation, and probably i know she's

mrs. ford was always a big proponent of having me work in the white house. the night president ford was sworn in, he had been president for about eight hours. my background is, i'm from a little town in oregon, no background in journalism or anything else. my dad was a traveling salesman. how i got to that night sitting with president ford, the only person in the room, and he wanted to talk to me about the job, but he hadn't offered it to me. he said, how do you see the white house photographer's job? i thought, shouldn't he be talking to kissinger. yoech i don't kim motto, lbj's photographer, was an absolutely role model, total access to the president and all that and ollie atkins, the second white house photographer, really didn't have much access at all. it's not what nixon wanted. it's all about your relationship with the president. i thought about that. i thought what am i going to say if he asks me. two things i want, one is total access and to work for you directly. he was puffing on his pipe and he looked at me and said, you don't want "air force one"

when i think of mrs. ford, i think of somebody who had a lot of difficulty in her life and did so much for so many people. we know her story, but i've always thought of her in the cabinet room table pictures a great example of that. the fun-loving, mischievous person that she was that did so much good for particularly women and equal rights across the board and having a loving husband who not just put up with her but was her partner. when i see her facing i see a smiling happy person. >> carol, what would your image be? >> i think the final day was -- would be my picture for me saying good-bye. it was so hard on everybody, and mrs. bush just made sure everybody understood that life would go on. you know, that we had wonderful times. she did such a fantastic job, and she just kept us all moving forward. >> it was such a graceful exit. >> it was. >> susan. >> i have a series of pictures that i'm thinking of where we flew out to arizona, and we met with a family of the soldier who was the first navajo woman who w

. >> mr. ford. >> a lot of people would argue that the american way of war, we found great success from the war of 1812, world war ii, and i think that we defeated the soviet union because we were prepared for total war. on the other hand we saw a lot of problems, had struggles with limited war. was there a concern in the administration after 9/11 that we were unable or unwilling to take part in total war? in order to defeat our enemy? >> well, the total war works, has worked, does work in a conventional environment. anything short of that unwise. trying to defined what total war is in an asymmetric situation is very difficult. when i use the word difficult that's probably the understatement of the day. there isn't a leading edge of the battlefield. there isn't an army or a navy and air force to be defeated. these people don't operate in the open. they send women and children to suicide. you have to find their sources of money. you have to find the countries that are hospitable to them. and you hav

>> well, in the first place, i'm not talking about the pope, i was talking about mr. ford. the fact is that secrecy has surrounded the decisions made by the ford administration. in the case of the helsinki agreement, it may have been a good agreement at the beginning, but we have failed to enforce the parts, which insures the right of people to migrate, be free, speak out, the soviet union is still jamming radio free europe. radio free europe is being jammed. we have also seen a very serious problem with the so-called sawnenfield document that said there's an organic linkage between the eastern european countries and the soviet union. and i would like him to see if those countries don't live under the domnashz and supervision of the soviet union behind the iron curtain. >> from 1976 and janet brown, that became a defining moment. a couple things to keep in mind. you were inside the ford white house, so you had a different vantage point. second of all, this is the precable internet era, so it took a couple days for the story to unfold. it did not dominate the news that night

in europe thanks for being with us on the line from brussels the attention for the trial is a man mr ford is probably getting exactly what he wanted a platform to share his far right extremist ideas. yes i mean it's unfortunate but that is the way you want it justice system works in it in the european union in norway he he will clearly have is opportunity to express his own views one just hopes that the over well we will turkey people will reject them for what they are signs of if you want to a man who is deluded and racist. now testimony will not be broadcast but it's text will be printed how much of a danger is there that this trial will end up inspiring other right wing terrorists . well i mean i think if you want to they're around already i mean one of the things i would like to try to investigate is not just whether he he is criminally guilty these are the shoe is. his rather ludicrous defense of self-defense but the collusion of other people it seems to me that it's unlikely that he would he did this entirely on his own yes we can we can d.x. but the perforation seems to have been c

and if you ever talk to mr. ford, he was very open about the fact that he was hurt by that. it his whole life. he became president, and then when he ran he was defeated by jimmy carter who went to, among other places, georgia tech and the u.s. naval academy. but when it occurred to me that it has been 28 years since americans have elected a president who did not go to an ivy league school, those of us who went to big ten schools, i thought i would look up the history of that and find out how many presidents were elected from big ten schools. and none. zero. it makes no sense. >> so if the big ten isn't producing presidents, we know the big ten schools are great schools, what are they producing? >> oh, it's terrific. that's why it's so puzzling. great faculties, and middle of the country, national renowned. neil armstrong, purdue, first person to step onto the moon. jack wellch, ran general electric during the glory years. george gallup, university of iowa, started the legendary polling firm. james earl jones, michigan, wonderful actor. arthur goldberg. you would think it was

>> we are aware or think we are aware of at least 40 to 50 people that are listed presently for mr. fordll vote for mr. reagan. >> so the war goes on, each side promising victory before the first round of nominations in kansas city. >> now, hoping to poach four deg gatt, reagan threw a hail mary, picked senator richard schweiker of pennsylvania, a liberal republican, as his running mate. >> i'm convinced this is a ticket behind which all republicans can unite and which will lead our party to victory in november. >> but the pick backfired with some supporters, especially in mississippi, whose delegation was sill up for grabs. state party boss clark reed switched his support to ford, giving the president an edge heading into kansas city. as the convention began, both ford and reagan were polling far behind the democratic nominee, jimmy carter. reagan supporters tried to force ford to name his running mate before the first vote but ford won that floor fight and the nomination on the first ballot, beating reagan by 117 goal delegates. the convention had gone on to second ballot, analysts bel

mr. ford as mr. gates if libya fired missiles in the united states, would that be an act of war. my friend virginia is a very articulate and intelligent gentleman. he never got a straight answer. i hope that you will prevail upon the administration not to take those kind of actions as they did in libya, whether it is justified or not. i will not get into that debate, but in my opinion, that was really kind of a snub of congress and the responsibility of congress based on the constitution. >> i can assure you that as long as i am secretary, we will not take any action without proper legal authority. >> thank you very much, and i will yield back my 39 seconds. >> thank you. mr. andrews. >> your service is both an inspiration to us and a blessing to our country. we thank you very much for it. i want to congratulate the administration on your success with russia and china, moving into a very different place on this issue compared to where they were just a few weeks ago. mr. secretary, i think the data you gave us about the exchange rate for the syrian currency and the gdp are a refle

mr. secretary, gerald r. ford cost overruns are $1 billion and i'm not sure how much it is complete.l the navy be asking for legislative relief from the cost cap of $600 billion? >> senator, not this year, but i'm certain we will be asking next year. >> is it accurate that there is at least $1 billion cost overrun on the gerald r. ford? >> i think it's accurate that it's at least $1 billion over the original estimate. and i think it's important to note what we have done to contain these costs. when i took office, we -- since i have taken office, we have recovered back the fee almost completely from the ship builder. that is building this carrier. so there -- whatever monies they get from now will simply cover their cost. secondly, for some of the government furnished equipment from other vendors, we have capped the amounts that we're going to pay for those. and the ship remains on track to be in the fleet in 2015. but third, and perhaps most importantly, one thing you mentioned in your opening statement. this is the lead ship of the class. you and i have discussed how much new techno

mr. gill ford -- mr. guilford. >> i want to welcome everyone here today. it is a privilege to do that. i want to welcome my colleagues on the panel this afternoon. i oil prices affect every aspect of americans' lives, not just the cost of traveling, but the heating of homes, food, and other purchases. there are many reasons for the fluctuations and the price of oil. on some of these, tension in the middle east, the administration is moving forward with the international community. saudi arabia announced they would lower oil prices. that being said, the cost of gas is irrefutably affected by rabid speculation in the oil market, and that is something we can and should do more about. last year, at the peak of the last oil price bubble, goldman sachs speculated that speculators increase crude prices by 20%, and the price of gas by 56 cents per gallon. even the head of exxonmobil conceded that the price of oil should have been in the "$60 to $70 range," went instead it hovered at $100 a barrel. speculators make up 70% to 80% of the oil market. we are holding this hearing to see how we can d

former vice president, chairman of general motors, and former executive vice president of ford, now a cnbc contributor. mrgreat to have you with us tonight. "it stinks" was the comment that one commentator said. what's your response to that montage of sound that we just played? >> well, that's why i'm so exercised about that this, because as you correctly said, i'm a conservative, and it bothers me when conservative commentators, and i think skr conservatism can stand on its own merits without telling, frankly, falsehoods about the technologically most advanced car on the planet. as you correctly pointed out, car of the year both in the united states and in europe. a vehicle where the average owner gets over 250 miles per gallon, and the electric vehicle credit, $7,500 is described as another subsidy that the obama administration puts on the car in order to -- and everybody fails to mention that the $7,500 tax credit for electric vehicles was enacted under the bush administration, and so forth and so on. you heard many, many conservative commentators from bill o'reilly to the neil cavuto, et cetera, et ce

>> yeah, bob has been at chrysler and ford and bmw. he is like mr. detroit.e changed his petition on electric cars. he voted against electric cars in the '90s when gm had a car there, and he became a champion for the volt at gm. in fact, this week he's even in the position of defending the volt on right wing radio and things like that because he can't belief it's become such a political issue. >> are there a standard number of volts hitting the market soon? how big are they going to become? >> they're just coming to market and they're under a lot of pressure in the press for one reason or another. this is where we're going, because as gas prices go up, you can drive a volt on a dollar a gallon on electricity. i think they'll be very successful over the next five years. >> refresh people's understanding of how this actually works. do you have to have some kind of charger in your house? do you need charging stations on the road? in other words, do we need to have some kind of infrastructure of recharging stations for this to become really widespread? >> i think

. >> next on booktv, bryce hoffman recounts ford motor company's business practices under ceo alan mulally from 2006 to 2011. mr. hoffman was given access to alan mulally's personal documents and interviewed over 100 people involved in the company's overhaul from executive chairman bill ford to the automotive company's employees, union heads and car dealers. this is about 45 minutes. [applause] >> thank you very much. thank you all for coming and thank you for watching, viewers at home. i just wanted to start out by talking a little bit ant how this book came about. i've been covering ford motor company for the detroit news since 2005, and from the beginning when i started covering ford, i knew that i was really witnessing an incredible story. i didn't know how it was going to end, but i knew that what was happening here in dearborn was either the death of an american icon or its resurrection. and while i was privately rooting for the latter, i was going to write the story either way. so as i followed the day-to-day events of the turn around of ford for the detroit news, i also in the back of my mind was writin

ford as an insult. i thought interesting also is a choice of words and the way that mr. santorum talked about what he sees himself being up against. he not only talked about the republican establishment as being behind mitt romney. he talked about the republican establishment and aristocracy. at this hour nbc has projected that in washington, d.c. where rick santorum was not on the ballot, mitt romney is the winner of that contest. nbc has projected that in maryland mitt romney is the winner. in wisconsin, we have very few results in so far. nbc is projebting the wisconsin race as too early to call but with mitt romney in the lead. right now too early to call in wisconsin. you can see our vote totals are low. we've only got 5% in. we'll be watching throughout the night as they continue to come in. >>> what you're looking at here is the romney campaign headquarters tonight in milwaukee, wisconsin. we're expecting governor romney to be speaking to his supporters there. before he speaks, he's due to be introduced by paul ryan. paul ryan is the author of the house republican

ford motor company on a day with technical challenges, guys. >> but we worked through them and you got the job done. thank you for bringing mr. mulally's intervau to us on "halftime report." a quick comment, doesn't have to be about ford. we spoke about that already. maybe gm, pete, buying any of the automakers? what about the parts suppliers? >> the parts suppliers, maybe. not for gm and ford. i like the idea of at least looking at these but i don't see any near term catalyst that tells me, you know what, if i put my money in here, it's going to improve by a whole lot the next six is months or there about. >> you have to beat that 2% growth. >> exactly. you are not going to be doing it with ford and gm. and gm lower ipo price you're still negative. that's my barometer. i always have a soft spot for ford. they are the true recovery story. >> murph? >> i wanted to jump in, johnson controls, dana holdings is another name to buy. i wouldn't be buying the autos in particular but i would be buying some of the suppliers. also, if you go into the trucking space, i think that and tire replacement cycle, in the trucking space, will giv

mr. zimmerman. and so we'll see where the thing goes from here. jack ford is our legal analyst for cbs news. philadelphia this morning. i want to ask you, jack, just from a legal standpoint, this la very difficult case to prove. >> it's difficult, bob, for the prosecution. first of all, the prosecutor also has the burden of proof in any case, but here, the burden of proof is essentially multiplied because not only does the prosecution have to prove the elementes of a second-degree murder-- there's no premeditation alleged. that would make it first-degree murder-- but second-degree murder is essentially you wanted to hurt somebody. you didn't want to kill them but you wanted to hurt them so badly that they'd die. the prosecution has to prove all of those elements plus you introduce this interesting law that the state of florida has-- a number of states have them now-- the stand your ground law, which essentially says you don't have to retreat on the street. they made it similar to your house, inside your house, bob, if somebody breaks in you don't have to run out the back door. you can use de

mr. davies. fiona here was just telling me that ford dealers sell a new tire like...every five seconds, how's that million a year. you just sold one right now didn't you? that's correct. major brands. 11 major brands. oop,there goes another one. well we'll beat anybody's advertised price. and you just did it right there, what's that called? the low price tire guarantee. wait for it, there goes another one. get a $100 rebate, plus the low price tire guarantee during the big tire event. look at that. it's happening right there every five seconds. your not going to run out are you? no. >>> it was a comment that sent shock waves through the political world to the world of stay at home moms and stirred up debate on twitter. democratic strategist hilary rosen told anderson kocooper la night that ann romney, mitt romney's wife, never worked a day in her life. ann romney fired back on twitter for the first time ever. she said i made a choice to stay home and raise five boys. believe me, it was hard work. hilary rosen is here to respond. you know what you did, right? you stirred up the war between working

acquisition of uss gerald ford, aircraft carrier has grown over the original estimate by over $1 billion. i repeat, has grown overcost by $1 billion. i would be very curious, mr. secretary, what you have been doing on your watch to try to bring those costs under control. bringing the total cost of the carrier over $12 billion. and at least $500 million, $600 million over the legislative cost cap. we do have a legislative cost cap. and the lukelihood of future growth and the cost to complete construction is high. i expect the navy will soon ask for legislative relief from the cost cap. before i'll support such a request, i need to understand why the navy has been unable to control costs on this program. i'm also reluctant to support additional funting for the second carrier until the navy and the ship builder get carrier costs under control. there are many other programs that are under stress and duress and are subject to cost overruns and i won't take the time of the committee at this time to go over things like the literal combat ship, the ohio class replacement submarines, et cetera. i would like our witnesses to elaborate on the strategy for modernization
