wanted to take votes away which is why keep it's bureau agnew for his vice president -- why keep it spirognew for his vice president. and the presidency. what happened as he started to and republicans were able to take advantage of that. washe time i think it democratic overreach. i think you are seeing a little bit of that this time where they are taking some for granted in the cities and not feeling we have some of the cities burning ,nd some of the graffiti buildings being assaulted, police being assaulted, that there is not some reaction like the couple from st. louis, that just wonder is this the kind of country they want? they feel they have rights, too. it was overreach on the part of the prosecutor in st. louis to bring a criminal charge against the people that were out there, even though that might have been exaggerated what they needed to do to protect their property. i did not think it was a crime. we saw that in baltimore with freddie gray when the prosecutor was quick on the trigger and could not get a conviction. so i think those are concerns as well. sentiment came up with

bush, vice president spiro agnew and bob hope. >> i do know that the family of the apollo 1 astronautsn the pad, my dad made sure that their families each received a bible. >> at the close of the apollo missions in 1972, reverend stout moves on from nasa and later retires, his holy mission largely a forgotten tale. >> and even today, i don't think the public at large is aware that a bible went to the moon. >> by the early 2000s, stout's son, jonathan, now living in utah with his wife, senses his parents are showing signs of dementia. was there some point where you became concerned about their condition? >> absolutely. they just couldn't really think for themselves anymore like they used to, and by that time, their health and really, really deteriorated. >> you're an only child. >> yes. >> who else was there to take care of them? >> nobody. >> so jonathan and his wife moved back to texas. >> we bought a house so that we could actually move them in with us. >> would they accept help? >> no. he came over, looked at the house and said, "nope. it won't work for us." that was the end of that

ford, of course, ascends to the presidency by way of the 22nd amendment when nixon picks him after spiro agnew resigns for taking kickbacks in maryland as governor of maryland and still taking kickbacks when he was vice president of the united states. so nixon needs somebody who is going to placate all elements of the party but yet somebody who is not going to threaten him, not going to cause him to look over his shoulder. so he quickly deduces that gerald ford fills the bill. gerald ford, his lifelong dream was to be speaker of the house and by 1974 that's never going to happen, so becoming vice president is a nice capstone to his career. >> yeah. >> but then the smoking gun tape is revealed in july of 1974. nicks orrin -- i mean, it's all in the news now. i don't have to explain it, right? >> i said there's an elephant in the tent. >> yeah, that's right. that's right. i say smoking gun, you know six months ago people would have said what .45 colt you talking about? they know. any way, nixon is revealed ordering the cia to try to halt the fbi investigation into watergate, and that now s

tonight, the man giving the invocation will be rabbi spiro who will be taking the podium right now. >almighty god, we come before you this evening and pray for your divine protection over our brothers and sisters and the path of storms along our gulf coast. you are our rock, and our shelter, in the midst of the storms of life. you are the god who commands the winds and the waves and we pray that you will provide refuge to our people. oh, lord, you have granted us certain natural rights such as the right to speak freely. life, liberty, pursuit of happiness as well as religious freedom. the right to assemble and the right to self-defense. only in america have these god-given rights so flourished and been categorized belonging to the people, embodying the very essence of our government. father, we pray that this outlook and mindset, this form of government continues as has been our history, especially now when to our horror it is being challenged. so we pray that god give strength and health to our president who has splendidly demonstrated daily his determination to defend and maintain t

president without being elected to either office was appointed richard nixon's vice president after spiro0 months later, ford took the oath as president after nixon resigned. >> so help me god. >> reporter: the country was real, and ford presented a picture of solid dependability. a straight-arrow family man when the country needed it most. >> trustworthy, brave, reverent. he kind of lived his life that way. he is the only president who was ever an eagle scout. >> reporter: but to capture that image for prosperity, the 64-year-old former eagle scout chose a hard-partying bachelor. >> i used to bring dates to the white house. the president always liked meeting my girlfriends. >> reporter: gerald ford was your wing man? >> he wasn't my wing man, but let's say he was an observant pilot. >> two think of those two men, you don't see a common bond and think they would be best friends, right? >> reporter: steve ford is one of president ford's four children. >> they developed a genuine love for each other. >> reporter: how did they end up like that? >> dad liked people and learn about people, and

[inaudible] violence is richard nixon and spiro agnew ignoring the expression of piece of millions of americans, and the list goes on. what bond is doing is expand our understanding of the meaning of violence so we don't restrict it to things like violent uprisings come so we don't restrict it to physical force. it's an expansive view of violence and see it as a very broad term. >> it's interesting that you started with that because obviously when you put this book together you could've not have know what was, what we are all to be facing now. even this event was put together we did know what we would be facing now. so for me the book is more resonant than ever, although since white supremacy and racial discrimination is in our country's dna it's not surprising that many things julian said many years ago resonate today. but when you said a broad definition of nonviolence, i went to page 230 which is saying we must be careful not to define the ideology of white supremacy too narrowly. it is more than scroll graffiti and individual dignity such as the placements nightstick or that job,

neil: and the silent majority, and spiro agnew, and the silent majority.cularly because of the riots. they were looking at that and they weren't polled and showed up and put your grandfather over the top. do you think the same is happening right now, that these protests have galvanized people who otherwise would not have voted for donald trump, to vote for donald trump and they might not be saying it? >> without a doubt it is and i think you're starting to see that show up in polls, several months ago, the polling showed that there was fairly sizable support for the idea of black lives matter and for the black lives matter movement and i think you're seeing that decline. certainly in polling now, and also, you can see the reaction of the biden campaign, that they're a little more nervous affiliating with black lives matter and looking to broaden that base. i think you see a large silent majority. some things stay the same and i think there's a large silent majority and some of it might not be encompassed in polling and i think that's where you'll see a big

quickly on that, your grandfather spoke for the silent majority, i know his vice president at the time, spirohe great unheard from silent majority, that because of the riots going on in 1968, particularly, they just, you know, were looking at that, they weren't obviously being polled, and they showed up and put your grandfather over the top. you think the same is happening right now, that these protests have galvanized people who would otherwise not vote for donald trump to vote for donald trump? they just might not be saying it? >> without a doubt, it is. i think you are even starting to see that show up in polls where several months ago, the polling showed that there was fairly sizeable support for the idea of black lives matter and for the black lives matter movement. i think you are seeing that decline certainly in polling now and also, you can see the reaction of the biden campaign that they are a little more nervous affiliating with black lives matter and are looking to sort of broaden that base. i think that you do see a large silent majority. some things stay the same and i think ther
