over 30 points ahead of gerald ford. ford had a weak position in the national race. so he challenged jimmy carter to a debate. >> mr. president, i would like to explore a little more deeply our relationship with the russians. >> max frankle asked ford a question about whether the united states was accepting of soviet domination of eastern europe. >> there is no soviet domination of eastern europe and there never will be under a ford administration. >> i'm sorry, could i just follow -- did i understand you to say, sir, that the russians are not using eastern europe as their own sphere of influence? >> everybody's jaw just dropped. are you alive? are you aware? what he meant to say is i will not accept any soviet domination of eastern europe. >> governor carter, have you a response? >> charitably that was a momentary slip. uncharitably it was a loss of touch with reality. >> clearly a huge moment where the country makes the judgment, you know what? maybe we do need to go in a different direction and replace the president. >> whatever they can stand on. >> ford had neve

ford's pinto debuted in 1970 as their firstsmall-fuel economic car. within two years, evidence from a case in california proved ford knew of the tank's weakness but design costs were strict. by 1978, ford voluntarily recalled tanks put in nearly two million pintos. production on the car would end in 1980, the same year the trial in indiana closed. "and today after a small town jury found the company not guilty, prosecution and defense took differing views of the road ahead." "handed the verdict forms to gerald stefart who announced three times not guilty. once for each count of the indictment against the first corporation ever to be tried on reckless homicide charges." "does this vindicate the ford motor company, you think, in the eyes of the public?" "i think it should really. you know, the pinto has been maligned for years with articles that are unfair, one- sided. we have a chance to present our side of the story." today, ford's pinto scandal is shared in business ethnics classes as the price corporations must weigh when it comes to keeping costs d

with ford's theater that he got his mail delivered at ford's theater. not at a hotel, not at a home in washington, but right at ford's theater itself. so he had total access and entree to the theater. he could come to the front, the back, side door, come and go anytime he wanted to. and on the night of the assassination, you know, he came to the theater about ten minutes past 10:00. it was friday, good friday, and i think because good friday the place wasn't packed. it was, there were a lot of people there, but there could have been more. but there was a group of people who would not go to the theater on good friday. there were some who wouldn't go under any circumstances, some who wouldn't go on good friday in particular. so some nice crowd there, but not stuffed. booth came up the balcony. if you've been to ford's theater, and i no know many of you know what it looks like. you have a set of seats here, then the tier up there, the dress circle goes up around here. booth went up a set of stairs, walked around the dress circle, came to a door that would

companies like toyota, gm, volkswagen, ford and honda are all stepping up eco-friendly methods with "zero waste" factories diverting millions of pounds from landfills, re-using water, recycling sludge and going solar powered. and its not just assembly -- take ford -- 85 percent of its cars are renewable, recyclable or compostable. everything from recyclable aluminum bodies and engine parts to soy foam seats and fabrics made from 5 million recycled plastic bottles. and this is where the ideas percolate: the materials research lab at ford headquarters in dearborn michigan. >> what would you say is the craziest thing that you guys work with? >> what do you think those are? >> they look kinda gross. >> yeah so these cigarette filters and its a cellulose acetate fiber and so we're looking at that fiber as a reinforcement for plastics. >> debbie mielewski started the lab back in 2001 with soy foam. >> oil was about $40 a barrel and so nobody saw a reason to use plant based materials, even though there was an environmental improvement. when we launched our soy based foams, oil was about $150

he said he didn't think ford was in the presidency long enough to issue a judgment on ford's presidency. >> host: here is a quote about gerald ford from the book. . poor gerald ford. he was concerned about presidential photos and me signing them. he calls me for that. he's busy making speeches for big money. no one gives me credit for not taking a time for a speech. ford was the first to take money. ike and truman never did. ford is out there accumulating a fortune by selling their experiences in office. i know it is tempting but it is just not right. besides when ford talks does anybody pay attention? >> ms. crowley: that was a function of the fact ford wasn't in the office long enough to take an impact and a steward of existing policies. he said that gerald ford had every right to spend his retirement making money and playing golf that is jus not what nixon did. >> host: he said eisenhower was warm socially but a hard ass. he didn't endorse me in 1960 until he had to and that was devastating at a the campaign because everybody wants him. i guess he was protecting himself but it wasn't

also in that pile a letter from a descendant of john ford of ford's theater. and if you can see what the envelope says there, contents, eight hairs from the head of john wilkes booth. how'd you like to pop open a letter and find that thing stuck in there? the thing i really enjoyed was this. this is the house that booth built, the house by ella mahoney. i really decided after working on this that she is co-author of this man manuscript. and i make pretty good use of this in the early part of the book, i hope i did, you'll see i credit her as co-author of the book. she had all the stories that mrs. mahoney had heard over the years. people just dropped by. one time, for example woodrow wilson dropped by. she opened the doors there's woodrow wilson. h.l. mencken. all sorts of famous people came by. a lead in mrs. mahoney's book led me to this document. now, this is a quaker wedding certificate. some of you may know, right that historically friends don't pay clergy. so at a wedding everybody comes up and signs the wedding certificate. it's almost like, you know yo

ford is always much more interesting. from the start of the original henry ford and his motions of the assembly line. he was a brilliant, hideous man. he had also contradicted. he also brought african americans to detroit and he had shadows and light in his life and his grandson was sort of a larger than life figure. very call -- very colorful. in my book, you'll see at the end, there's a climax. the deuce was his nickname. he -- and he -- he was dealing with everything that was going on, at that time, political, economic, his relationship with walter was fascinating because his grandfather had tried to beat all of the unions and henry ford the second had to deal with the accommodations of that. he was one of the great under appreciated figures. a terrific mind, labor leader who, during this particular era, the uaw really helped -- had a key role in the whole civil rights movement. the summer of 63 was the summer when birmingham happened and martin luther king wrote his letter from jail. many people supporting him were ba

you look at ford building a massive plant there. you look at other companies from europe, from all over. a plant was going to be built in tennessee, big, big, billion-dollar automobile plant. it's not being built in tennessee anymore. it's going to go to mexico. nabisco. i have holdings in chicago, i have a great building in chicago. nabisco, they have a factory, big factory, they maker east coast -- oreos again. but they're closing their big plant in chicago and moving it to mexico. what's going on. how stupid are we. you're right. so where and why are we doing this? why are we allowing this to happen. somebody has to talk to them. if you don't talk to them, you can get them to build someplace else in the country. you can get ford, believe me, to stay in this country. >> now, sometimes it's so unfair the trade agreements, if you look at the amount of business that's been moves out of our -- whether it's mexico or many other countries -- been moved out. it's absolutely uncontrollable by the people that we have currently and we can d

ford was mentioned. 80% of ford's north american investment over the past six years has been in the united states. so the companies that we're privileged to represent, fca, ford, general motors, are committed to american manufacturing. it's hard to imagine american manufacturing without them and hard to imagine what this recovery would have been like over the past few years without the auto sector driving that recovery in terms of job creation and capital investment that keeps the united states competitive in the global economy. >> if you want to check out the new report from the american automotive council. >> love for you to do that. we've got a copy here. it's online. and really digs into the numbers. it's an academic-style report that demonstrates how important the industry is to the united states and how important they are to the industry. >>> river grove illinois, line for democrats. john, good morning. >> caller: the good morning. thank you for having me on. >> go ahead, john. >> caller: hello. the importance of the union in a commercial light is one of those points about which ther

ford is gearing up to revive two iconic models. the automaker they return pickup of the ranger and bronco here to the usa where truck demand is big. we have the scoop from detroit. david, for me, the exciting part is the bronco. ford makes the ranger, i know it's in demand in the u.s., but the bronco is the one that real auto nerds have been clamoring for for so many years. is it really true, is it coming back? >> i think it is. they don't want to put out the announcement yet because they are in the middle of labor negotiations. they like to dangle in front of the united auto workers union, if you make a concession here, we will guarantee that you have products to build. ford has done well with iconic brands. the mustang is doing well. they are bringing back the continental for lincoln. i think this will come back because it has a real following among young people in southern california, even though they have not made a bronco since 1986. matt: we are looking at pictures of the ranger. are we going to see a new ranger, a different

seven years later this man henry ford, he founded the ford motor company. this pile of scrap iron became the first affordable automobile which would put the world on wheels and alter the nature of work and life forever. what ended up making this story remarkable was not one outstanding genius or one transformative company. it was how the entire american economy took an invention and turned it into an engine for prosperity. the affordable automobile did not create a business. it created thousands of businesses. it brought new opportunities to within reach of more people than ever before. for most of history, entire generations would pass without seeing a new innovation as transformative as the automobile . but the pace of human progress changed during the industrial revolution and it has accelerated ever since. unbelievably, the ford motor company was not even the clear winner for the most transformative development of the year 1903. it was two brothers from kitty hawk, north carolina also had a breakthrough that year that did nothing less than also alter th

having said that, i think ford is an interesting company to pick on. ford produces more cars in the united states than any other manufacturer, and they have moved production of some products back to the united states from mexico, and recently used and it was announced before any of trump's comments they moved the medium duty truck production back from mexico to ohio, and they made other changes produced in turkey to missouri. they make decisions based on where it makes the most sense to produce a particular product, but if you look at the facts and really dig into the numbers, there's a strong commitment by all three of the member companies to the united states, and ford is at about 80% of their north american capital, and their investment has been in the united states. these are companies investing in america in a way that is unique and powerful and exceeds anything foreign manufacturers are doing. >> want to get your thoughts on how this issue is specifically impacting some of the labor talks in the u.s. auto market. here is a story from "the wall st
