i saw betty ford campaign for in 1976. who are you for and betty ford said may the best team win. my question is i hear the relations between the ford's and reagan's were kind of frosty. is that true? thank you. >> well, you know, it's interesting. let me answer that this way. certainly in 1976, they thought they were rather frosty. they were running a very intense, very close, really uncertain battle for the republican nomination. i think quite frankly the ford white house underestimated ronald reagan. and they almost paid the ultimate price for doing so. but in fact, in later years, remember crazy as it sounds, you know in 1980, president reagan very seriously thought about having gerald ford on his ticket as his running mate. and i also know that in the '90s, particularly after -- well, after president reagan wrote his letter to the american people revealing his alzheimer's, i know president ford visited him more than once after that. and whatever old animosities there may have been were long, long since evaporated. and of course even more so with jimmy carter. >> we're going t

betty ford wrote a wonderful autobiography. and are the in front? and i can't commend them to strongly, thank you. >> will save them both on screen, the first was that he ford, co-written by chris base and the second was the one we showed earlier, betty, a glad awakening. we have a little bit of trouble finding them, but are they available? >> the truth of awakening is, i don't think that they worked on those volumes, but they passed away. >> a glad awakening is a very candid, almost painfully candid. it's much more miss for, it a wonderful sense of humor and you can experience her rebirth. >> we're going to listen to bury fort herself next, one month after they were sworn in as the first couple, and they became the first couple. they held a news conference at the white house, so listen to their response. >> i like to be remembered in a very kind way. >> also, as a constructive life of a president, i don't expect to come anywhere near living up to those first ladies we have all done a great job, and it's only my ambition to come close to it. >> it d

said betty, we love you. trust us. we woke her up, she did the work. >> as many of you probably know, 16 years ago, th this april, i participated in a treatment program for prescription drugs and alcohol dependent. today, i am a very grateful recovering alcoholic. and i know firsthand that treatment does work. >> we see her talking about her successful treatment. we have to see her command of speech making versus the other clips we've shown is markedly different. >> yeah. >> when she became sober. >> that's true. something might surprise people, particularly seeing this very confident, commanding figure from 1994, to the end of her life, she had butterflies before she went on stage. which was very, also i'm very curious, she was terrified. and a part of that is the perfectionism that i think was bred in her by her mother. one thing we haven't talk ed about, we talked about a genetic disposition of alcohol. some of these, i think an emotional disposition as well. you know, she writes particularly in wide awakening, abou

betty ford i really got to know well. i must say perhaps breaking the boundaries of professionalism, really came to love as a friend. i visited her many times at her home in the desert before president ford became very frail. of course he died at the end of i think it was to 05 or 2006. mrs. ford had a great love of history and a love of the history of first ladies, and spoke obvious about her affection for pat nixon so between the two of them, they only represent eight years in the white house, and of course in recent times from bill clinton to george w. bush to barack obama, we've had this unusual he turkey occurs t. everson, madison and monroe. so it's easy to forget, of course, the nixon and ford years, which like the johnson/kennedy years, were truncated. but i think pat nixon and betty ford served in the white house at a time of enormous change and they were agents of a gentle turn towards the future. thank you very much. >>> well done. thank you, carl. we will do that now. i do want to ask the first one, though, as

betty was not fully on board can you talk a little bit about the why? >> yeah. so, i got just kind of blindsided by this i got called into her dressing room it had gone well on wednesday. and i assumed she liked that it was getting laughs and people were nice about it and i got called into her dressing room on friday or saturday and her manager, who's much older than her - [ laughter ] started to - >> somehow >> -- me and slapping the coffee table saying "we said no animals! >> seth: right >> and i was just flabbergasted. we didn't have an actual horse playing the unicorn, even. it was always a very fake stuffed animal but, um -- so i was confused by that and we -- we -- i tried to talk to them about how the unicorns aren't actual animals. >> yep >> and how there is kind of a fun in that betty white is the most unlikely of people to be this cold unicorn euthanizer >> seth: yeah. >> and we just kind of lost -- and then our concession, we realized, this week when we looked back at the final dress script was we put a paragraph at the end where betty says "no unicor

he's 61 -- 21 years older than betty -- and yet, romance blossoms. betty and george marry and retire to george's majestic jersey estate in his french chateau, stuffed with antiques from the vanderbilt mansions. >> she liked it for the solitude. she said, "my heart sings". >> another person will secretly feel the same way. no, not sandy, but the man she gets engaged to in 1986 -- shop teacher tim perkins. >> he would come here to visite. he would say how he would redo everything. >> sandy and tim actually hold their wedding here at the chateau. it was tim's idea. he wanted to have the wedding here. >> you think in the back of his mind from the very first time he saw this house, he thought to himself, "i'd love to live there"? >> perhaps, but he didn't tell me that. >> george dies in 1996. betty inherits the chateau. by now, the home's original glory is fading. french neoclassicism meet american '70s rec room. >> they were both elderly, and they really didn't keep it up. >> you don't buy an interior of a vanderbilt mansion and let it decay. >> i just t

of this plane down of the virus sounds very familiar i hear that quite often when i meet people here betty joins us now she's a psychologist and the one has gotten back university off minds please tell me why is that why do some people feel the need to trivialize this pandemic so when you trivialize that pandemic it doesn't seem like a threat to you so it's less dangerous and that's one coping strategy that you can choose and from germany really know that 17 percent of the germans believe that the whole thing is to hold people just made it out. and what about those stars others those who have quite fanciful conspiracy theories if i meet one of those how should i deal with someone spreading such stories should i get into a discussion or just listen and or leave them behind. so it of course always depends on the situation if you see something on social networks on facebook or twitter you won't convince the person usually but you can post something against the others that are not quite conspiracy believers yet that they see that this information is wrong and this is especially important when
