beschloss the last word with less than a minute to go, michael.r. here you've got joe biden as a president with two wars going on and donald trump saying he could solve ukraine in 24 hours, but that was rejected by zelenskyy affirmatively with kristen welker on "meet the press" yesterday. >> yeah. for most of american history, if americans have doubts about a candidate for president's temperament, that person doesn't get elected. we're now in a new world where huge numbers of americans are willing to suspend disbelief, even if they're presented with, let's say, a president, an ex-president who is convicted of the felony. some of the numbers suggest that they will not care. this is important. will we have a rule of law if drum is re-elected? that question is very much open today. >>> that does it for this edition of "andrea mitchell reports." remember, follow the show on social media, @mitchellreports. "chris jansing reports" starts right now. >>> good day. i'm chris jansing live at msnbc headquarters in new york city. former president donald trump

beschloss.ter away. theirs was truly a marriage of equals and also want to ask you about that and the country music stars, garth brooks and trisha yearwood who will perform today. john lennon's "imagine" during the ceremony. you have the atlantic symphony orchestra, some bach and moonlight serenades, among her favorites. this is very personal. >> this is not a surprise at all. garth brooks and trisha yearwood were close friends of the carters. they took part in several habitat for humanity builds. on the occasion of their 75th wedding anniversary, there are only a thousand couples in the united states who have been married 75 years or longer. couple of summers ago, my wife and i were in attendance and garth brooks gave the carters a vintage automobile from 1946, a convertible, from the year they were married. so that gives you some sense of how friendly they were. in terms of the larger picture of this partnership, it was the longest, closest and arguably most productive high level partnership i

and i want to bring on nbc news -- historian, michael beschloss, and chief correspondent for the newcan you talk about the transformation we saw from this first lady and the impact it's had on first ladies today? particularly as it relates to her relationship, her involvement, within advising president carter. i mean, from the camp david accords, to her work in latin america, she was quite active. >> you're absolutely right about that. and of course, michael knows this better than anybody, but we think about all of nor roosevelt, who a clinton, but rosalynn carter really defined the office in a lot of ways for all the first ladies that followed. she was a life partner for jimmy carter since the beginning. she helped him get into politics, get into the governor's mansion in georgia, get into the white house, and when she was that, she was probably his most trusted advisor. he was at camp david during those negotiations. she was there in cabinet meetings, she was a national security briefings. she traveled the world, and had not just ceremonial -- but substantive role. because of her d

and presidential historian, michael beschloss. andrea, you've had the opportunity to speak with mrs. 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 u

i remember being with our friend michael beschloss in athens, georgia, on the 30th anniversary of thend a reunion there, and just being struck by how any subject that came up, it could be china, japan, care giving, the deficit. whatever it might be, the carters had lived that. mrs. carter had an experience with it that informed the intellectual view she had of those issues. that's a remarkable gift and she shared that with the world. >> i wonder, jon, if it's fair to ask if jimmy carter would even have been president if not for roselynn and what the transformative power would have been, not just the physical office, the first to have an office in the east wing, but the kind of issues she took on. the way she took her spanish and became a kind of diplomat. what was it about? >> it was still somewhat -- not even somewhat revolutionary, when you look at both the backlash in realtime. the '70s was the era of backlash, a lot of white backlash to civil rights. there was sort of male backlash to the rise of feminism. this was the era of the e.r.a. being debated. >> she was for it. >> equal r

. >> michael, michael beschloss as always, it is a pleasure sir to speak to you. appreciate it.to bring in now richard lui, who has interviewed the former president and rosalynn carter several times the last decade, and has collaborative with the rosalynn carter institute, which is focused on caregiving for the last several. years he was has for the -- past ten years >> -- richard, you'll actually have had a store but why rosen harder started interested. >> and you know, it is consistent with what has been said -- when he was running for governor in the 1970s, rosalynn carter without talking to some of the folks in the town. and she jumped into a family that was down on their luck, she talked to them, and she found out that this spells was taking care of a loved one. and, she was very much mentally in distressed. and so, she was very concerned about this. so rosalynn carter got in line. you know, the question line for the candidate. at that time, it was candidate jimmy carter. she waited in line for her term, she said mr. carter. yes, they were married, they knew each other, wha

. >>> joining our conversation is the nbc news presidential historian michael beschloss and eddie andhing rosalynn carter did as first lady, what i always found most interesting about their story is how how much she did before he was president, before he was a governor when he was a naval midshipman. they had a partnership that went back to their youth enex and she was a strong participant in that. it's a very obvious and strong participation in that relationship that only evolved as he moved into public life. >> yeah, both personal and also business and political, and it was a relationship that in a way was more 2023 than it was 1946, the year that they were married, and one of the best things about this is that, you know, jimmy carter being a modest man, he knew what skills he lacked. one of the skills he lacked was the ability to see through people. that was a quality that rosalynn carter had in abundance. she was a great executive. when he was serving in the state senate and otherwise absent, she was able to take over the peanut warehouse and function in a way that was just as goo
