Henry Ford True Legend
A great man, he wasn't only a fantastic innovator but also treated his employees like gold. He also knew who the enemies of the West were, and didn't hold back in his assessments
I reccomend his book too. The famous "censored"
LOVE YOU HENRY FORD AND LOVE FORD MOTOR COMPANY!!!
Amen to that! Henry Ford has always been one of my American heroes,
And Racist
@@jasonallen3678 Unfortunately, also anti-Semitic. Apparently he hated Jews, he hated negros (African-American). Those are hardly traits I'd consider heroic.
Magnificent !! a machinist changed the world
A really great MAN.
Who hated Jews, indigenous and Black people.
Did he publish a newspaper?
BRILLIANT MAN THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING US 😇💫✊️
Love this
What happened to the full documentary?
Cannot wait ti see this
Make the best quality of goods possible at the lowest cost possible, paying the highest wages possible.
- Henry Ford
Henry Ford, in a sense, was the first Keynesian. He paid his assembly workers high wages so they could afford to buy his cars.
- Robert Kuttner
Is there a Chapter 2 to this? I like what I've seen so far, but I would think there'd be fore to this.
Ik this is 7 years old but I might as well answer it. This is a small part of a roughly hour-long documentary.
When Henry Ford built his Model T he was rolling 15 MPH. That's about right. We're getting too carried away with ourselves.
My grandpa was Henry's chauffeur
I doubt that highly. Are you in your 80s or 90s?
SkylineToTheSeaAndMe sorry Henry the second my great grandpa drove him a few times
Huh? He didn't say HE was Ford's chauffeur, he said his grandpa was, which would be entirely possible without the OP being anywhere near his 80s or 90s. Henry Ford died in 1947, so let's say grandpa was Ford's chauffeur in the mid - early 1940s when the grandpa was in his 20s, that would mean the grandpa could have been born as late as the early 1920s. Rounding it off to a birth year of 1920, the grandpa would be 97 now. If the OP's parent was born when the grandpa was 40, the parent would be only around 57 years old now, and if the OP was born when his parent was 40, the OP would be only 17 years old now.
@@d23g32 he did not say he was alive too
@@d23g32 dang you got good math
Please post the full episode ??
Meu estimado dirigente industrial. Homem sabio e visionário . Uma pena que nós não tivemos um homem como você. Caráter ilibado e de alto intelecto .
Thanks ford iam Ahmed Memdouh from maroco
Good
PBS. i'm not going to pay for full epi shows you had on for years.
5:27 The historian badly misspoke here, people didn't wear "wristwatches" when Henry Ford was an adolescent; he dismantled pocket watches. A disappointing mistake from a historian.
i know, you are right.
$5.00 a day was great back then. he was a saint.
the significant of ford is he automobile.
Queria em português :/
Pior Ano?
youre right that was un called for. I removed the comment, and i apologize. i was very frustrated that night as i couldnt find part 2 anywhere.
The f 150 is a great car. I drive a ranger occasionally. Ford builds the best. Built FORD TOUGH.
SO TRUE Eli Karabell! NOTHING better than a FORD!
The Ford F---150 is a pick---up truck and not a car,Eli Karabell!!! ( And the Ford Ranger is also a pick---up truck which is smaller than a Ford F---150 truck.
Biting the hand that feeds us, are we now? Give him time or look for it elsewhere yourself rather than resort to name-calling.
"breath of vision" ... " monominiacal
FOCUS"...
01:29
Were is P2?
LoL YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
P2???????????????????
p2??????????????????
this man or should i say his son/grandson ripped off a real inventor irelands harry ferguson read about the famous handshake deal he struck with ferguson, the ford company went on to steal fergusons tractor and other farming implement designs,until ferguson took Ford to court,Ferguson eventually won recouping millions in lost sales,but the cost was heavy to Fergusons health and took its toll,fords attitude was the sales gains made from Fergusons stolen designs would outway the eventuall court payouts.nice guys,and they call the jews for everything.
Have you watched the program? Saint is the opposite of what he became, at least.
"The video is not available. We apologize for the inconvenience" ....boo
People really like this stuff!!!!!!!?????? idk lol
This guy should be remembered for his crimes. No good example at all.
nope :)
Ford had ears like an elf.
I hear Henry ford blew Adolf hitter in the back of the first model T.
thats not true, it was more like they both raped children in the back of that model T
Is it a conspiracy if the jews, I mean “conspiracy” is what brought him down?
Oh, I see you posted 4 days ago. Still, most people know he was not that great of a guy (totally unrelated to any "anti-Semite" stigma he got), especially after Harry Bennett became his best pal and surrogate son.
Ford was a Nazi
11:02 "...but the overall objective 'make the thing better' is never lost sight of." Un... aren't most people developing a product trying to make it better? I'm also pretty sure a few if not most of the hundred other companies working on designing cars at the time were 9:55 "thinking of the big picture." Nancy F. Koehn is worst of the many talking heads spouting this obviousness throughout this piece of shit documentary.
Oh yes, PBS must always put a leftist spin on things... why can't they leave things alone?
This video is propaganda as Henry Ford used to say
all lies i bet he stole a black person idea.
@Y B u may be black yourself while you calling somebody sub-saharans blacks. Lmao
@Y B MY CULTURE WAS THE BOMB DUDE.
