1:09 am
$100.00. he served just one term as president, but considered the impact he made once he left office as the more important part of his life. patty cole hand looks back at his legacy. at the age of 90, jimmy carter announced he had cancer and it had spread to his brain. i just thought i had a few weeks left. but i was a surprisingly edy's. as you know, i've had a lot of wonderful life. i've had thousands of friends and, and i've had an exciting and veteran ratify existence. so i was surprisingly that he, he would stay on the world just a few months later by announcing thanks to a new treatment. he was cancer free. at 92 years old he was briefly hospitalized after he became dehydrated, but helping to build homes for the poor. he was back on site the following day. his was the typical american story with very,
1:10 am
a typical results board in the small town of plains, georgia. he joined the navy, studied nuclear physics and married the girl next door. literally, he 1st saw his wife on the day she was born when he was just 3 years old, especially i have it, it was my writing, most of that that's a physical of my life of the peanut farmer, turned politician. and after one term is the governor of georgia, he became the democratic nominee for president when he easily with public data by watergate and his slogan, trust me for long white flags to washington dc. but we've had a great deal of progress lately. i jimmy call to do solemnly swear in office. his domestic accomplishments were limited, remembered mostly for high interest rates and inflation that led to a recession. his bigger impact wasn't foreign policy. he broker peace between israel and egypt within 1978 camp david accords. normalize relations with china and
1:11 am
to negotiate of assault to nuclear treaty with the soviet union. but he would later blake out the olympics there and protested that countries invasion of afghanistan, his legacy is most closely tied with this november 1979. the u. s. embassy into iran was stormed, more than 60 americans were taken hostage. he ordered what turned out to be a bunch, pressed to attempt in large part because of that card lost his bid for re election to ronald reagan. but carter successfully negotiated the release of the hostages, still around decided to fed them until just minutes after reagan was inaugurated, which he would later reflect on publish. i sent one more helicopter to forget the hostages, and we would have rescued when i would have been re elected. but that may have and that may have interfered with the foundation of the quarter center. and if i had to choose between 4 more years and the quarter, so then i think i would use a quarter. so name is wide open. the carter center dedicated decades to providing
1:12 am
human rights and democracy overseen elections. often leading with leaders to us, considered unfriendly. and targeting diseases in the developing world, and she was a very vocal critic of israel are treated like then like a lindsey he was a man who reached the height of the presidency, won the nobel peace prize, helped millions by tackling disease and dictators and promoted peace even when it was controversial back home, his 29th and final book was titled a full life for jimmy carter. it most certainly was. all right, you advertise, he joins us now live from washington, dc. sure how we were speaking last hour about the fact that as you said, jimmy carter was a very interesting political figure in the united states. because in one sense, he was very much part of that orthodoxy. the establishment of the democratic party, uh and politics as usual in the us. and then in another sense, as you said earlier,
1:13 am
you very much was outside of it. right. and i think positive really, really touched upon a bag as president. he was pretty reactionary, frankly, a real cold war warrior. busy you can think about just about any right wing dictatorship for about particular periods, whether would be in the age of africa, the least that lots of america called it was, was fully backing them no matter the other side of east timor, the killing of students in south korea or part time, south africa, the garage girl, salvador death squads. i mean it was somebody used perhaps a bit more at ease. i mean, i just regular golf gems, easily compatible for others as being such a huge support in your powers into reagan. but he was still there, but of this very much part of the cold war with rush with the soviet union, which is very much a help more in the developing world. and of course we have the subordinate mujahid deed and i've got a son which led to the, the blow back that we will, we will, we will know about now and so on, except on foreign policy. it meant so you're actually,
1:14 am
but then they were there is little spots like china and stopped, but do all those reduction treating with russia. but that mean you pretty much went back to form of that and actually started really building us ministry bases around around the world. really starting that off to a box of it. now i'm, it seems that america was a trunk drink called a started building. military base is everywhere. ready? when so that's what we have. so we made 100 military bases around the world, have very different types of presidency where he was, he somehow sort of the sort, some sort of like, i guess, was very much about about talking about what he felt with the shortcomings of american foreign policy. of almost drone and policy. what he called was, you know, is really a pop tied to, he would really kill bill clinton for suggesting that there was some amazing deal for the palestinians during christians comp, david david tools and then on they call them as well domestically. we was unpopular not just because of the hostages of the wrong. can you really do it very much, i'll sure, did that new democratic view which kind of was breaking up the social safety, the contract between government and people this,
1:15 am
which is not all about the american middle cos he wasn't. deregulation will stare at each market, forces corporations being in charge of economic policy. and of course, that was developed then by reagan and clinton to you know, and again, do, i mean is oftentimes if you, what you thought about that but, but certainly, you know, he was harbinger of president of any of the things which many progressives don't like. however, they do like him out football, he did as post presidency, doctors, reiki and corporate cache, like obama and clinton, but hammering in there was for houses for the homeless. all right, that sounds. is there a shop or time to live for us in washington dc. thanks so much. you have curtis wilkie is a former boston globe corresponded covering jimmy carter. he joins me now from oxford. mississippi. thanks so much for being with us. um, i want to ask you 1st about the fact that jimmy carter had
1:16 am
a very interesting career. you had humble beginnings, he was a peanut farmer, then he was governor of the state of georgia. he became president of the time of deep political mistrust. and he positioned himself as an antidote to that he had a difficult presidency, but then in his post presidential career, very much seen as a statesman, a very respected on the world stage. what do you think is ultimate legacy will be a good thing would be kept up recently. his post president see his parents are nice problem. so let's see. it sail was up some point failed. some of those folks. some of it was not here. so he had a bad runner book, but he devoted a ditch to broke like 50 years. is life to of raising money for
1:17 am
a project in africa to cure diseases. he uh was something over named bassett or or uh, no good boy. oh, taiji. certainly not being as presidents. curtis is there many political analysts and presidential historians in the us that say that jimmy carter was a man and a president very much had of his time. and that when you look at his record in retrospect that he's more consequential than he was 1st considered to be. what do you agree with that assessment? yes you know again now what do you agree to his barcus a man will be more or less during during his mark is the president. it was really uh very unusual. good. there's no other democratic president in his sink. 3 into 20
1:18 am
a. c 3. it came close to a pink some or to hear? no, he was a maverick. he was relegated to one term he left a kind of in the a disappointing easy manner because he had been unable to free the house. you choose from iran. that was always the last day. remember he was waiting, you know, desperately hoping get to talk features would be released and that would be a per right mark on use record and how your total was unwilling to reward him. but rather than, you know,
1:19 am
retreating to georgia or baby trying to make millions of dollars with speeches in oak sick cetera. he devoted to much of the rest of his time owner to good works. and it was exemplary. i think there's probably no us present that. i know of certainly in my life, jack, this is been such a good body of work or for good causes. all right, that's curtis wilkie, former boston globe, correspond covering jimmy carter. thanks for being with us for this. we appreciate your perspective. good. thank you. the you're watching out a 0 reminder of our top stories. this house is really forces have conducted

1:21 am

1:22 am
i'm. i'm curious what was lot of which is 1st term like and what were some of the issues that most captivated the voters during the election cycle. the basically with the person who dr. governments onto the plane from conservative face in democratic union. even though milan, which is declaring himself a left is and is coming from the social democratic party, he was a fierce if you're the critic of the planck of it's government in place of himself, calling him out for corruption. and also criticizing grace and government for being a way to um, a bbm to brussels and the you demands. because he wants a craze of to be more independent and more as you start to not a country with an attitude. now that stands has also made him very favorable with
1:23 am
the voters on the right uh spectrum. and as tonights boats show, he managed to bring a lot of them to his side even in this 1st on the other line. so if he wins and uh the predicts is uh he is in advantage. uh, in 2 weeks we might be seeing another 5 years of, of very, very conflict with the hood driven relations between him and the government of unzip language. all right, tanya, novak live for us from zagreb, thanks so much for joining us, tonya poles of clothes and chads 1st parliamentary elections in more than 10 years . the governing party says is the final step and returning trapped the constitutional rule. after 3 years of military rule, but the opposition called for a boycott citing fears a vote. rigging. katherine sawyer reports from chats capitol. instrumental
