carter, the sons of mrs.ter's mother in law, all very much involvedn making this a family affair. yeah. as grace mentioned, up to this point, people hadn't really gud out thathehad to get outside of washington. so not only did you have jimmy carter getting outside o washington, but the whole family. one of my favorite stories from mrs. carter was she and her friend and langford would go around the states and i think rosen spent like 75 days in florida, and they would go into a small town and they look for the tallest antenna in town because they figured that was probably right radio station. and then they drive up and say, well, would you like to interview us? and they would actually bring a sheet of questions that they could ask. so it was a very low budget campaign. but in that particular year, under the finance laws of that time, that was the way to do it. they actually stayed in people's houses when they campaigned all the different carter family members. and i think that's really a very different way of

what else could carter do? being from a small town in south georgia but run as an outsider to washington. but it became a model for future campaigns. i mean, nixon campaigned as the silent majority. as the majority, right? somebody is representing most americans. after that, you see many, many politicians running as outsiders. george bush, the second george bush ran in interesting ways as a kind of outsider, drawing on his experiences in texas. so it became a kind of model for the future. and we should say not only friends, but the family, the carter family, mrs. carter, the sons of mrs. carter's mother in law, all very muchnvved in making this a family affair. yeah. as grace mentioned, up to this pot, people hadn't rely figured out that they had to get outside of washington. so not only did you have jimmy carter gti outside of washington, but the whole mily. one of my favorite stories from s. carter was she and her friend and langford would go around the states and i think rosen spent like 75 days in florida,

carter, one of their sons.olved in politics, elected to local politics in georgia. and what is shocking to a lot of people, i think, is that she was just the carter center announced a couple of days ago that she was suffering from dementia, entered into hospice at this all the time while her husband has been in hospice care since earlier this year. he is right now 98 years old. she was 96. and even after serving in the white house, they returned to their home in plains, georgia, which they bought in 1961 for $167,000. he was $1 million in debt when he left the white house because of the peanut business. lucas tomlinson is at the white house with us now. you know, lucas, the legacy kind of a different sense of politicians as a couple that did not go out. and although he wrote 33 books, did not go out and basically cash in on the presidency, made tours, foreign trips, but did not seek that star power, they went back to their basically humble life in plains, georgia, eating on paper plates and having friends over

following about rosalynn carter. he said rosalynn was my equal partner in everything i ever accomplished. she gave me wise guidance awheni needed it. paula, as you know, the former president turned 99 years old not too long ago and he himself has been in hospice care at his home in plains, georgia, since february after a series of stays at the hospital. they were the longest married presidential couple having celebrated 77 years of marriage in july. and back in september a moment of joy for many people when they appeared in a surprise visit at a festival in their hometown of plains, georgia, together doing seemingly well at that point. and let me tell you, the chirp wanted to honor the memory of their mother, the matriarch. one of the four children said the following. he said besides being a loving mother and extraordinary first lady, my mother was a great humanitarian in her own right. her love for service and compassion was an example for all of america. people across the nation very sad about the death of rosalynn

and that's president carter. and for who demonstrated that you could be a decent, honorable person and still hold the highest office in the land. and i think there is not just simply a nostalgia for the idea of decent, honorable people being president, but a recognition that in some sense our republic requires it. and secondly, they demonstrated a real ability for civic friendship and for personal friendship, even though they were bitter political rivals in the 1976 presidential election after their presidencies, they became very close friends. i was telling paige earlier today that my favorite exhibit here in the museum is the funeral, president ford's funeral, and president carter's speech at the funeral, which is just profoundly moving. it's a really beautiful speech and just such heartfelt delivery and some sense hope on its own right? well, with that, i'd like to introduce our two guests tonight. i'm going to start on my far left there. you're far right with gleaves whitney, who is the executive director of

former carter center ceo john hartman spent two decades working with the carter's. he will share his memories to give us a sense of the energy and site she brought she was here at -- a sense of the energy and excitement she brought when she was here at the center. this is a reminder of the traditions of our founders. it is our inspiration. it is my story, your story and will be everybody's story as we carry out the work here at the carter center. when asked what she wanted to be remembered for, she said i would like to think that people understand that i took advantage of the opportunities i was given and i did the best that i could. this is carter did more than that. we will miss her terribly. >> thank you, page. mrs. carter was selfless, caring, kind. she was down to earth, genuinely interested in others, and tirelessly working to improve lives around the world. she and president carter spent a work week the center once a month. days were packed from early morning to late at night. while each had their own schedule, they worked in partnership, aware of what the ot

carter in hospice. and in the 39th president, rosalynn carter got more than just a husband. >> my life with jimmy carter has been more adventuresome than i dreamed it would be. >> rosalynn carter dead at the age of 96. and joining me now is jake tapper, chief washington correspondent. of course host of "the lead." jake, i'm watching that owebit piece. and you think of her close relationship with her husband, the former president, you also think about all the work that she did on behalf mental health advocacy. and really the role that she played as first lady. and really formalizing that role. what are your thoughts as we get this sad news? >> i think first of all that as you know, her advocacy for mental health was really decades ahead of its time. she started that work after her husband was elected governor of georgia in 1970. that is when she really started doing it, started -- she was appointed the governor's commission to approve services for the mentally handicapped and she did a statewide tour of

carter. talk to us about the impact of rosalynn as a first lady, as a mental health advocate, and as a humanitarian. >> i can't tell you with how much gratitude and admiration i am marking her passing. she was really the first advocate nationally for mental health care, throughout the nation. did that throughout her life. not just in the white house, but didn't notably in the white house with their husbands full support. she attended cabinet meetings, which was controversial at the time. she was his partner as business, as you pointed out, in the peanut farm business. but they really knew each other all their lives. literally all their lives. because his mother, miss lillian, was the midwife who delivered rosalynn carter. and when she was born with a couple days later, his mom, miss lillian, brought -- they went to school together, and she had a crush on him, she was very close to his sister. she had a crush on him when he was in uniform in the shipment, and they married right after he got ou

carter. stanley in massachusetts, what are your thoughts this morning? caller: my thoughts are with jimmy carter, who was the president who put us on the right track, that we have to take care of the world. it was said that he caused problems but it was debunked. he was ahead of his time. and today, we have the orange sky in the morning and orange sky at night. a dangerous guy. that's sulfur dioxide. both acidic properties. taking down the oceans. oxygen levels are falling. the only thing that treats all of that back is to use sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide. host: we appreciate your call this morning. as we shift into open forums, i want to bring up, this is today's usa today front page. of course on the front page, there is an article about former first lady rosalynn carter and her advocacy, particular when it comes to health. there is an article about food banks and how inflation is affecting food banks and nonprofits, but i want to talk about an article, a third article that is o

carter. the very eloquent grandson. and tim, one of the things we said good-bye to when we said good-bye to rosalynn carter today was the last first lady of the greatest generation. >> yes. and we have not had in the modern era many first ladies who -- whose husbands were in the peacetime military. mamie eisenhower and rosalynn carter. rosalynn carter's death brings to the end a line of women who were the steely supporters of husbands or boyfriends, depending on when they got married, who were fighting the greatest war and a twhar ch chchange -- and a war that changed our country. what is dramatically important about rosalynn carter is that she took this understanding of the country's place in the world, and when she could have retired from the stage in 1981, she instead used her knowledge of the world and her platform to seek to help the most vulnerable. and i can't imagine how many americans have shown that kind of humanitarian instinct -- her husband did, too. but let's just imagine the ro

husband, president carter. and when you think about all the work, not just throughout the white house, she certainly -- for the president to have been elected, she was such a critical role. some might argue that maybe president carter would not have been who he has been had it not been for his wife. >> now, the carters, both in and out of the white house, have become synonymous with global efforts to promote peace. as we watch global conflicts like israel-hamas war escalate, what are your thoughts as a global human rights activist yourself? watching someone like roslyn carter passed away? >> more than anything else, tremendous admiration and respect for what she represented for the nation in the world. for example, so many young girls and boys -- but young girls certainly, have been inspired by what she did when it comes to building houses all over the world with habitat for humanity. when it comes to -- monitor and observer of elections, promoting democracy all over the world, promoting peace. i would say this

carter.a quiet self-assurance despite what she wrote about her struggles with public speaking. i covered the carter through their time as georgia governor through the historic and astonishing campaign for the presidency in 1976 through their years in the white house. what we witnessed was a first lady who saw her role as going well beyond the essential, warm, and welcoming host to being a close and trusted, yes, adviser. in essence, an extension of the president himself. a first lady who understood the weight of her words and especially her actions. a first lady who cared deeply about the american people. about how government policies and actions affect their daily lives. a first lady who took on tough assignments, who was in her words, determined to be taken seriously. and who wasn't afraid of controversy. that started at the very beginning of her time in the white house when as you heard, she made big news by sitting in on cabinet meetings. as she put it, there was no way i could discuss th

she co-founded the carter center with president carter in the early '80s.rted the carter plains foundation here in plains, because they were going to spend more time in plains, so she wanted to keep working while she was here. her work with none narc butterflies, with the rosalynn carter butterfly -- i could go on and on and on. she was just an amazing person and will be sorely missed. >> i want to ask you about her commitment to mental health. she really helped to eliminate the stigma of mental health care, and it wasn't talked about, certainly not in politics but she did that as the governor's wife and she did that in the white house. it was considered something that you kept in the closet. what motivated her? >> so, she was campaigning for governor carter, and somebody came up to her and said, hey, i think your cause needs to be mental health, and she started looking into it and she was very drawn to it and very touched by the people that she talked to about the issue, and when rosalynn carter gets her mind set on something, she's not going to let go. sh

and we will remember former first lady rosalynn carter, the wife of president jimmy carter. a memorial service was held on tuesday in georgia. >> a special thank you, secretary clinton, mrs. bush, mrs. obama, mrs. trump, and dr. biden. thank you for coming and acknowledging this remarkable sisterhood that you shared with my grandmother. and thank you all the provided for our country and the world. secretary clinton and dr. biden, we welcome your lovely husbands. amy: we will look at rosalynn carter's decades long advocacy for mental health care. all that and more, coming up. welcome to democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. talks are ongoing to further extend the truce in gaza as it enters its final day. secretary of state antony blinken spoke at a news conference in brussels earlier today as he prepares to head back to israel and the west bank. >> focused on doing what we can to extend the pause so we can continue to get more hostages out and more humanitarian assistance in. amy: on tuesday, 30 palestinian women and children were freed

and on behalf of a grateful naon, we send our love to president carter, the entire carter family, and the countless people across our nation and the world, whose lives are better, fuller, and brighter because of the life and legacy of rosalynn carter. he said, may god bless our dear friend. and i should say, the president and the first lady, dr. biden. this was really a statement that summed up, nicely so much of rosalynn carter's life. you have to sort of bear in mind that i think, they only served one term in office, i should say. and, so much, the majority of their public work was done in the 40 plus years after they left office. and so, for generations of people, that is the rosalynn carter and jimmy carter that they know as humanitarians who traveled the world, working on human rights issues. and then, the people that we saw in later years, in their 80s and 90s, as volunteers out in the world, building houses, and trying to do good for people who need help. but also, the loving relationship that we all got to witness, again in their later years, as a husband and wife who were dev
