00:42:17.280 --> 00:42:17.599 No. 00:42:17.840 --> 00:42:22.400 And three articles of impeachment had been passed by the House Judiciary Committee. 00:42:22.639 --> 00:42:25.119 Nixon resigned effective August 9th. 00:42:25.280 --> 00:42:31.199 On that day, Ford took the oath of office and became president, stating, Our long national nightmare is over. 00:42:32.079 --> 00:42:39.039 He retained the foreign and domestic policy staffs of the Nixon administration, including Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. 00:42:40.480 --> 00:42:44.159 I know there were so many names I remembered from like my childhood reading through this. 00:42:44.239 --> 00:42:46.559 I was like, whoa, because they had all of his staff listed. 00:42:46.639 --> 00:42:50.639 I didn't print that out or put include that in here, but I was like, oh, yep, yep. 00:42:51.039 --> 00:43:01.199 Uh one of Ford's early acts as president was the announcement of a conditional amnesty program for those who had evaded the draft or deserted during the Vietnam War. 00:43:01.440 --> 00:43:21.599 The most attention-getting act of his years in office and the move that for many destroyed his credibility followed in the next month on September 8, 1974, declaring that in the end, it is not the ultimate fate of Richard Nixon that most concerns me, but rather the immediate future of this great country. 00:43:21.920 --> 00:43:29.679 Ford pardoned Nixon for all offenses against the United States that he had committed or may have committed while in office. 00:43:30.320 --> 00:43:31.199 Tistisk. 00:43:31.519 --> 00:43:32.639 Well, Jerry. 00:43:32.960 --> 00:43:33.519 Yeah. 00:43:36.320 --> 00:43:46.000 At the time, the pardon was enormously unpopular with the American public, and some speculated that it was a result of a quid pro quo between Nixon and Ford. 00:43:46.159 --> 00:43:51.119 That is, that Ford promised Nixon a pardon in exchange for the presidency. 00:43:51.920 --> 00:43:54.800 Although, would Nixon have had say and no. 00:43:55.840 --> 00:43:59.599 Ford voluntarily appeared uh before a subcommittee of the House. 00:44:00.079 --> 00:44:03.360 Of Representatives on October 17th to explain his reasoning. 00:44:03.599 --> 00:44:05.280 It's my sister's birthday. 00:44:05.679 --> 00:44:07.280 Not 1974, though. 00:44:07.519 --> 00:44:08.800 Man, that would be weird. 00:44:09.199 --> 00:44:11.280 All kinds of connected to Gerald Ford. 00:44:11.519 --> 00:44:17.280 Uh, the first time a standing president had formally testified before a committee of Congress. 00:44:17.519 --> 00:44:35.760 In subsequent years, allegations of a deal have been dismissed both by the former Watergate prosecutors and by Ben Bradley, the editor of the Washington Post during Watergate, who offered that Ford's pardon of Nixon was the act of a compulsively decent man. 00:44:37.360 --> 00:44:41.039 Yeah, I think it probably was just to move on. 00:44:41.199 --> 00:44:41.440 Yeah. 00:44:42.079 --> 00:44:42.320 Exactly. 00:44:42.559 --> 00:44:45.760 Let's put this behind us and move on. 00:44:45.920 --> 00:44:55.599 Cause I imagine you would have had to have trials and that would it would gum up the works for you know more importantly. 00:44:56.800 --> 00:45:00.400 I mean, then and that's you know, it is what it is. 00:45:00.480 --> 00:45:17.599 So I guess uh it's probably better to just stop, you know, the just if you want shit done, if you want to get shit done as president, then you're gonna have to get past this and right exactly Nixon just write off into the sunset and move on. 00:45:17.840 --> 00:45:18.880 Move on.org. 00:45:20.400 --> 00:45:25.039 And another startling move, Ford annoyed members of his own party by naming Nelson A. 00:45:25.119 --> 00:45:32.239 Rockefeller, both a party liberal and a representative of the so-called Eastern establishment, as his vice president. 00:45:32.559 --> 00:45:37.760 Because that's what you're supposed to do in our government is bring together different sides and different opinions. 00:45:38.000 --> 00:45:38.960 Isn't that funny? 00:45:39.199 --> 00:45:41.199 Because Obama did that with Biden. 00:45:41.519 --> 00:45:56.400 That is why he chose Biden, because Biden was more a centrist and had a long-standing uh ability to uh work with this work with both sides, reach across the aisle. 00:45:56.559 --> 00:46:06.800 He was well respected with both parties, and we know I think that that was why Obama chose Biden as his running mate for all this. 00:46:07.039 --> 00:46:08.239 It makes it makes sense. 00:46:08.480 --> 00:46:09.119 It does. 00:46:09.360 --> 00:46:32.159 And and I know um one thing Biden did say that he took from his time with Obama was Obama appointed people that were not yes men, that he did uh he appointed Republicans and Democrats to cabinet positions and stuff, and Biden did the same because he wanted I don't want everybody to just agree with me. 00:46:32.239 --> 00:46:39.840 I want, you know, the best person for the fucking job, which oh I don't know, is in a Fox News host. 00:46:42.320 --> 00:46:45.599 Or a human version of an owl. 00:46:50.400 --> 00:46:58.559 Ford's administration attempted to cope with the high rate of inflation which he inherited from the Nixon administration by slowing down the economy. 00:46:58.719 --> 00:47:11.440 The result was a very severe recession in 1974 to 1975, which succeeded in lowering inflation, but at the cost of an unemployment rate that rose to nearly 9%. 00:47:12.239 --> 00:47:13.039 That's a lot. 00:47:13.199 --> 00:47:13.519 Yeah. 00:47:13.679 --> 00:47:21.840 Uh, despite his whip inflation now program, he could do little to stop the country's economic problems. 00:47:22.000 --> 00:47:33.599 Ford's relations with the Democrat Democrat-controlled Congress were perhaps type by this more than 50 votes of legislation by the end of 1976. 00:47:33.840 --> 00:47:37.440 More than 40 were sustained, legislative gridlock set in. 00:47:38.239 --> 00:47:52.320 During the first days

of the Vietnam War in March 1975, Ford ordered an airlift of some 237,000 anti-communist Vietnamese refugees from Daonang, most of whom were taken to the United States. 00:47:52.480 --> 00:48:04.800 Two months later, after the seizure of by Cambodia of the American cargo ship Maya Guez, uh, Ford declared the event an act of piracy and sent the Marines to seize the ship. 00:48:04.960 --> 00:48:15.039 They succeeded, but the rescue operation to save the 39 crew, 39 member crew resulted in the loss of 41 American lives and the wounding of 50 others. 00:48:15.280 --> 00:48:16.400 Moreover, U.S. 00:48:16.559 --> 00:48:19.280 relations with Thailand became strained because the U.S. 00:48:19.360 --> 00:48:24.239 strike had been launched from a base in Thailand against the wishes of the Thai government. 00:48:24.719 --> 00:48:25.840 Tisk tusk. 00:48:26.159 --> 00:48:26.880 Shouldn't do that. 00:48:27.039 --> 00:48:27.599 Nope. 00:48:27.840 --> 00:48:33.360 Twice in September 1975, Ford was the target of assassination attempts. 00:48:33.519 --> 00:48:38.320 One on September 5th, and the next, just 17 days later, on September 22nd. 00:48:38.960 --> 00:48:44.320 In the first instance, uh Secret Service agents intervened because shots were fired. 00:48:44.480 --> 00:48:49.440 In the second, the would-be assassin fired one shot at Ford but missed by several feet. 00:48:49.840 --> 00:48:50.960 In October, he ended up. 00:48:51.119 --> 00:48:56.239 Did it hit him in the ear and did it magically heal itself? 00:48:59.119 --> 00:49:01.199 Killing a firefighter in the meantime, right? 00:49:01.360 --> 00:49:01.599 Yeah. 00:49:03.360 --> 00:49:04.000 Stunned. 00:49:05.760 --> 00:49:06.320 Political. 00:49:07.119 --> 00:49:07.519 Stunt. 00:49:08.320 --> 00:49:22.480 Um in October, he initially refused to consider loans to the city of New York, then on the brink of financial collapse, and thereby prompted the newspaper headline Ford to City Drop Dead. 00:49:22.880 --> 00:49:28.079 As the larger implications became clear, he retreated from his earlier position. 00:49:28.559 --> 00:49:38.639 In a close contest at the Republican convention in August 1976, Ford won his party's nomination despite a serious challenge by Ronald Reagan, the former governor of California. 00:49:38.800 --> 00:49:46.480 That fall, Ford became the first incumbent president to agree to public debates with a challenger, Jimmy Carter, the Democratic nominee. 00:49:47.440 --> 00:49:52.000 I think we all know that we did an episode on Jimmy Carter was what would Jimmy do?
