tell us how people there are processing the loss and putting the focus on jimmy carter. >> brianna, there is a mixture of sadness and pride here today in plains president carter, post-presidency could have lived anywhere in the country or around the world, but he chose to return here to plains, a town of just a few hundred people. and over the coming weeks, we will hear about his lifetime of service, his character, his courage. but for the people here, he was their neighbor. not long ago, he would be walking here in downtown plains, right here on the main street or teaching sunday school at church, here in this community. we caught up with benita hightower. she owns one of the few restaurants in town, and here's how she's thinking about president carter's legacy. take a listen. >> you know, i'm really it's a happy, sad. >> only because he left so

much. you know, he had he left a nice path for anybody that wants to do something great. you know, from plains, georgia or whatever small town. and he did it. he fulfilled. and then he came back home to rest. i think that's what we're all supposed to do. so i feel really great because he impacted so many lives. >> and, brianna, we know that the state funeral will take place next month in washington, but in the coming days here in this community in plains, they are most focused on supporting the carter family. brianna. >> i love benita's energy there. and her words. eva, thank you so much for that report from plains, georgia. let's talk more about carter's life and legacy with kai bird. he is the author of the book outlier the unfinished presidency of jimmy carter, which is such an interesting name. kai. he passed away.

president carter did yesterday in south georgia, where he was born and raised. as you heard bonita hightower there saying, he came back home to rest. how did growing up in, you know, in georgia farm land shape? jimmy carter? >> well, he had an extraordinary arc of a life. as you just mentioned. yeah, he was he was born in plains, georgia, but grew up in archery just down the road about a mile, and it was just a hamlet. and the only he was the only white boy there. and all his playmates were african american kids. and he grew up in very spartan circumstances. no running water, an outhouse. he, you know, but he had a privileged life as his father owned several thousand acres of land eventually. and, uh, you know, he he. georgia formed him and he was very much a south

georgian, and he was the first president elected from the former confederate states. so it was an extraordinary, improbable career for to the white house. >> he, you know, went on to be a state senator, later governor. how then and then he also, though we should note, was a graduate of the u.s. naval academy. he was on nuclear submarines. how did that shape him well, he excelled at everything he did. >> and again, he had an extraordinary career working under admiral rickover in the navy. he was a submariner. uh, he was on duty once in the pacific. this is after world war two, and he was on lookout post and was literally swept off the bridge of the submarine. and then, in a miracle, was swept back onto the bridge of the. submarine. i

mean, he he he was an extraordinary lucky seaman on that day. but his life was like that, just one extraordinary chapter after another, running for the presidency after one term as a governor. that was a pretty thin. resume. but, you know, it was 1976 and the country was exhausted from the vietnam war and morally exhausted by the watergate crisis. and here comes a completely unknown, virtually unknown politician from the deep south who promised integrity. and, uh, and that was what he ran on. and he improbably won the white house from a sitting president, jerry ford. >> yeah, it's it's always interesting to see what the american people want. they want what they want. and he was at the time selling

what they did want. of course they want authenticity. yeah, authenticity. character, clearly, at that point, mattered so much to them. he did though. he he only served one term. and the subtitle of your biography says a lot of it, the unfinished presidency of jimmy carter. how did he feel about losing reelection, and how did that shape what he did in his post-presidency? >> well, he felt terrible about winning that, losing that 1980 election to, you know, a b-rate hollywood movie actor named ronald reagan. it was it was unbelievable. uh, to him. uh, but, you know, carter was an unusual politician. he wasn't good on television. he was good in small circles of people at a dinner party, a small gathering of voters he could give. he could really connect with people. but he wasn't terribly

good as a speaker on television. and ronald reagan, of course, was. but there's a more fundamental difference. i mean, ronald reagan was sonny about america, and jimmy carter was a truth teller. he was a southern baptist, born again who, uh, you know, had was troubled with the notion of america's exceptionalism, you know, as a young man growing up in the deep south, in, in the midst of segregation, uh, he could see america with all its warts. and he, as a southerner, came from a heritage of defeat and occupation. so, you know, he was a little he was too smart to be taken in by an entirely sunny view. and he tried to tell america hard truths. so, you know, he gave us this famous malaise speech in 1979, in the summer of 79, in which he sort of berated the american

public for a tendency to worship self-indulgence and consumption. now, you know, that sounds like a sermon, not a political speech. but he was really concerned about sort of the culture of narcissism that was enveloping america in the 70s and 80s. and, you know, i think in many respects he turns out to be a prophet of what ails america. even today. narcissism over consumption. the notion that we can do anything with the environment that we wish and get away with it, you know, carter preached that we. there are limits. limits to american exceptionalism. limits to our american unilateralism. uh, he he urged caution, and he wanted us to approach every

issue intellectually and morally. and that's why he put human rights at the center of our foreign policy. and it's been there ever since. he did succeed in that. >> yeah. and it's so much of his legacy. uh, really fascinating to speak with you, kai. thank you so much for taking time to be with us today. kai. bird, thank you. jimmy carter was, of course, married to rosalynn, the love of his life for more than 77 years. and she was not only his wife, but really his closest confidante. it was a powerful bond of enduring love that was on full display at rosalynn's funeral a year ago last november, when their daughter, amy, tearfully read a letter that the former president wrote to rosalynn, 76 years before, while he was serving in the navy. >> my darling, every time i have ever been away from you, i have been thrilled. >> when i returned to discover just how wonderful you are.

while i am away, i try to convince myself that you really are not could not be as sweet and beautiful as i remember, but when i see you, i fall in love with you all over again. does that seem strange to you? it doesn't to me. goodbye, darling. until tomorrow. jimmy. >> joining me now is kathryn cade. she served as first lady rosalynn carter's projects director in the white house. she's a carter center trustee. i don't know what you think about it, but that letter, i think, is a letter anyone would want to receive. and, you know, we see in there these two people who are really partners in every sense of the word. can you give us a little window into their relationship? >> you know what's so amazing about that letter is that most people don't really understand or see jimmy carter as a

romantic, and yet his he, he was very much a romantic. and his deep love for rosalynn from the day they were married also was fundamentally embedded in his respect for her as a full partner and human being. um, as i think about president mrs. carter and the time that i have spent with them, it was such a huge privilege for me to serve in the administration and then to continue to work with them to help build the carter center into the human rights organization that it is today, and later to become good friends. and as i think about some of the time that we spent together as good friends, i think it illustrates sort of the the amazing nature of their relationship. i had the privilege of traveling with the carters to egypt to help observe the first presidential election there, and, uh, during that time, the week that we were there, i was deployed into

the city of cairo to monitor a number of individual polling sites, as were the carters. and at the end of the week, we met, uh, together, or we were it was planned that we would meet together for a dinner just for the staff, and we went to a restaurant that was on a hill overlooking cairo, and we had a wonderful meal, which included the three members of my observation team, who i had asked specifically to come because i didn't want to leave them behind that night. and at the end of the dinner, president and mrs. carter got up from the table, held hands, and walked, walked to the edge of the patio terrace, and i watched them look out over the lights of the city of cairo, and i was reminded that here was a couple who had been through such incredibly trying times to achieve the camp david accords. and for those who don't know, mrs. carter was instrumental in instrumental in, uh, serving as a scribe during those 13 days at camp

david and serving as a sounding board for president carter. and they had continued that work to bring together to help bring peace to the middle east. uh, that time being in cairo. and i was just moved by what an amazing, um, what an amazing moment that was. um, i'm also reminded of the time that president carter, uh, uh, responded to mrs. carter's concerns about mental health in the united states and the the absence of adequate mental health services. he appointed a presidential commission. mrs. carter served as the honorary chair. he viewed her as his trusted advisor on all things related to mental health. the work of that commission was extraordinary. it laid the groundwork for many changes that have been made in our mental health system over the last 40 years, and it's work that still continues at the carter center through our mental health program. >> and it's just that's, you

know, in every aspect of their lives. >> they were partners completely. >> and that he, uh, took what she said and prioritized what she said should be a priority. we were just speaking last hour, um, with kate andersen brower, who interviewed rosalynn carter, and she was talking about how ahead of her time, rosalynn carter was on mental health. and that is really something that i think is such a part of her legacy. can you talk a little bit about that? why that meant so much to her and why that was an area she wanted to make such a difference for people with? >> i think for both mrs. carter and for president carter. um, the notion that every human being has value, every human being has worth and has dignity very much played out in the work of the president's commission on mental health. uh, it was groundbreaking in that one of the mental health

commissioners was actually a woman who was in recovery, who had suffered from serious and persistent mental illness the first time ever that someone with lived experience had been asked to play a role in setting mental health policy. um, and that reflected both president and mrs. carter's belief that even ordinary people have extraordinary experience and that they need to be engaged in public policy. um, i think that the commission also focused a great deal of attention on public attitudes about mental health and mental illness, and it's hard to believe now. but 50 years ago, people were afraid to even talk about the subject, and most people were afraid to admit if they had a mental health problem. people were afraid to seek help, and we were afraid to finance it in a way that gave people access to health. president carter himself understood the importance of making mental good mental health services available to folks. and he also, because of his great confidence in mrs. carter, was committed to making sure that

the recommendations that the commission, uh, made were implemented. and so, among other things, there were significant increases in the level of funding for research. there were significant increases in funding for the prevention of mental health. and there was even a national plan for providing services to the people with chronic mental illness who had been released from, uh, large state institutions without appropriate supports in their own communities. um, so i think that the mental health, the attention that we have to mental health today, uh, the fact that stigma has begun has begun to lift. and the, uh, the engagement of folks in building strong community based services are all a result of the work that the president's commission did. yeah. >> well, catherine, it's you know, it's not it's not just the mental health work that that i'm reminded of. >> it's the fact that, you know, jimmy and rosalynn carter were were a husband and wife who were in some ways just

ordinary citizens like the rest of us. and i remember being in plains, uh, one sunday, um, attending the church service with the two of them. and because i wanted to hear president carter, uh, teach a sunday school class. and at the end of the service, mrs. carter asked me to go back to the house and have lunch. uh, with the two of them. she told me that jimmy always made lunch after church, and so we went back to the house, and president carter served me his two specialties. uh, one was a peanut butter and banana sandwich. the other was served on whole wheat, please. uh, the other was a tomato, vidalia onion and mayonnaise sandwich served on whole wheat. and when he gave it to me, i said, sir, i'll never eat that much. she looked at me and said, you can take the leftovers on the plane with you and eat it on your way back to boston. so i share that with you, because president carter was a remarkable human being, and his faith was truly at the core of who he was, but

it was his commitment to human rights and his belief that there was dignity and worth to every person. um, that it's those beliefs that will continue to animate the work of the carter center. mrs. carter and president carter, as partners, have built the carter center into a strong and vibrant organization, and it will be an enduring legacy to the values that both of them held dear. >> yeah, catherine, it's so special to talk to you. and i love that he was you weren't going to waste food on his watch. that was for sure. um, catherine. catherine, thank you so much for taking time. i know this is a tough time for everyone close to the carters, but also, as you're remembering him and rosalynn as well, with these rich memories and sharing them with us. i hope that is helpful as well. thank you so much for being with us. >> thank you for having me. >> and we'll be right back.

planes operating in south korea, while the country's acting president has ordered investigators to check their entire airline operation system. cnn aviation analyst and former ntsb managing director peter goelz is with us now. peter, you have the u.s. sending this team of federal investigators to help. in your experience with the ntsb. what role could they play and what are they going to be looking for? >> well, the team that comes from the united states comes under the auspices of an international treaty of which korea is assigned. and so is the united states. so they the ntsb is the official accredited representative to this accident. boeing and others will be the faa and others will be assisting the ntsb. and the ntsb and the korean counterparts in the aviation and railway investigative bureau have a very close working relationship. i don't

anticipate any problems with with their collaboration. >> so we are learning that the pilot reported a bird strike just minutes before this crash. it appears based on the video we've seen, that the landing gear was not down, that the flaps were not certainly not fully deployed. is there a reason that that that the pilot would have not deployed the landing gear, not deployed the flaps, or do you think there was more likely something the matter with the airplane? >> well, that's you know, those are both very perplexing facts. i looked at the video that apparently shows the engine ingesting the bird or whatever it ingested, and it appeared to me from that shot, it was directly underneath that flaps had been extended. and it would have been they were in final

approach. the flaps would have been set at, you know, uh, halfway down. but when it hit the runway, the flaps did not appear to be extended. and certainly the the landing gear wasn't down. there really is no explanation for that because the landing gear, if it does not go down automatically as instructed, you could manually release them. so it's not clear why that occurred. and the other perplexing thing is the speed that the plane hit, the runway. i mean, it was going far faster than any landing speed, which is about 140 knots, right? uh, for a 737, that was going far quicker and uh, runway left to run out. so it's very perplexing. i've heard one speculation that

perhaps they were trying to do a go around, and they didn't drop the landing gear, but, uh, we won't know until the voice recorder is downloaded and we hear the the challenges that this crew was facing. >> and this embankment that they hit. talk to us a little bit about the design of this particular airport. how other airports don't have this feature, what this is for, the kinds of questions that are being raised about whether it should have been there. yeah, that's a real that is a real concern. >> this this runway was 9000 a little over 9000ft long. and at its very end, uh, was a concrete structure protecting a navigational aid called a localizer that did not have to be at the very end of the runway and shouldn't have been there. what they should have had was a runway. uh overrun

area there. there's a material called hamas that is a collapsible cement. over 100 airports in the united states have this runway. overrun. hamas area. it stops the plane, the concrete collapses, and it stops an overrun and saves lives. uh, i think that's going to be one of the big issues. there are other airports in korea that have the localizer placed at the end of the runway. they're going to have to rethink that and probably change them. >> have you ever seen anything like this? >> no. this is the i mean, the the idea that, uh, you know, a bird strike in and of itself, even on final approach, while it's challenging, does not have to be catastrophic and seldom is. and to have this plane, uh, show up without its landing gear at such high

speed, in such a desperate, uh, crash is really, uh, really perplexing. and i think we're going to see that these that the crew were taken by surprise and probably were overwhelmed by the circumstances. they were facing. >> yeah. you might that will be the question is, was a technical problem compounded by human error. and obviously this investigation is going to answer that question hopefully for us. peter, thank you so much for your insights. we do appreciate it. >> thank you brianna. >> still ahead, some new details on the fatal beating of a new york prison inmate. what court documents obtained by cnn say about some of the officers involved in the incident? stay with us. >> the lead with jake tapper today at 4:00 on cnn.

assaults in the same upstate new york correctional facility, starting with two of them, sergeant glenn trombley and officer anthony farina, each of them named in a 2022 complaint that was filed in federal court. and it's citing a 2020 incident in which those two officers allegedly looked on as a fellow officer beat a handcuffed inmate. that beating reportedly left the inmate permanently disfigured. then there's officer nicholas anzalone, the correctional officer who was named in a separate complaint alleging that he not only joined in on the assault of an inmate at that facility, but was involved in an alleged cover up to fabricate disciplinary charges against the inmate, who was left with what's described by their attorney as substantial physical and mental injuries. we should mention both these cases. they are still pending, still citing that ongoing litigation. the new york state department of corrections would not say why these officers remained on active duty amid that ongoing civil litigation, but also

adding to questions. brianna, is a 2022 report by the watchdog group the correctional association of new york, which actually had an opportunity to interview not only staff at the facility, but dozens of inmates. and the group concluded that it was troubled by what he described as pervasive allegations of mistreatment by staff at mercy correctional. marcy, i should say marcy correctional, and also that they were concerned about what was happening there, even calling on the inspector general as well as the corrections department to investigate. now, i did ask the office of inspector general today if an investigation was launched prior to the brooks beating, but still have not received a response. brianna. as for the corrections department, they have previously responded saying that it was in the process or even had already addressed concerns in the report, including deploying body worn cameras just this past may. in fact, those cameras were critical in capturing the fatal beating of mr. brooks on december 9th. some quick background for you here. he was serving a 12 year sentence for

assault, and he is seen in this footage that was released by authorities as he was punched by officers, kicked by some of them while his hands are still handcuffed behind his back. the next day, he was pronounced dead at the hospital. it is still unclear, though, brianna, exactly what transpired before brooks was taken into the examination room earlier this month, the new york department of corrections named 14 staff members suspected in brooks's death. we should mention none of the officers or their representatives have commented since that video was released by the new york attorney general. cnn has reached out to those officers for comment. but something that's quite telling here, brianna, the correct the correctional officers union, which, as you know, typically actually defends many of these employees. they called the footage, quote, incomprehensible. so it certainly speaks to the brutal nature of this beating, as not only the state attorney general, but also the fbi investigates the incidents with potential criminal charges on the horizon. >> yeah, that union statement

really stands out to your point. polo sandoval, thank you so much for that report. and still to come, health experts are concerned the u.s. isn't acting fast enough to contain the bird flu outbreak. how the cdc is responding. stay with cnn news central. >> and it has been one wild year. >> i know that whole live stream was crazy. >> what? you have been following actual news right? oh, boy. >> new year's eve live with anderson and andy tomorrow at eight on cnn and streaming live on max ken howery to support your brain health. >> mary. janet. hey, eddie. >> no. fraser. frank. frank. >> fred, how are you? fred? >> support up to seven brain health indicators, including memory. when you need to remember. remember. nariva as the people you love get older, their risk of severe flu and covid goes up. >> last year alone, those viruses hospitalized nearly 1

said, there is increased risk for certain groups of people. and here's cdc official doctor dimitri daskalakis talking about who may be at that increased risk. have a listen. >> there is increased risk for individuals who have exposure to animal and animal products. >> so that's why so much of the work that we're doing is focused on farm workers and others who may have exposure to birds or other products that may put them at risk for h5. >> so, brianna, the cases we've seen so far, there have been 66 confirmed human cases. they have been associated with exposure to infected animals. 40 of those cases, people were exposed to infected dairy cattle. 23 of those cases were tied to poultry farms. so these are the cases that we're seeing so far. but the reason why health experts are saying more needs to be done to monitor this is because there is worry that the virus could potentially become transmissible from human to human, and that's why there's

concern about this right now. >> all right. and so what are health experts saying should be done at this point? >> well, some experts say we need to do more testing of people. but the cdc has pushed back on that. they said in a statement, quote, that despite data indicating that asymptomatic infections are rare, cdc changed its recommendations back in november to widen the testing net to include testing asymptomatic people with high risk exposure. the cdc also went on to say, brianna, that they have partnerships with commercial labs and bird flu tests are available at doctors offices, so there is testing that's happening right now. but again, experts say we need to keep a close eye on this. >> all right. we certainly will. jacqueline, thank you for the report. experts are predicting that gas prices will drop in 2025 for the third straight year. but will president elect trump's proposed tariffs on canada and mexico impact that? we'll have that next.

journey today. don't stop. >> luther. never too much. new year's day at eight on cnn. >> now to some of the other headlines that we're watching this hour. a colorado man is under arrest on suspicion of attacking a local television reporter after allegedly demanding to know whether he was a u.s. citizen. court documents say 39 year old patrick thomas egan told the reporter, quote, this is trump's america. now, according to grand junction police, egan followed the reporter's car for some 40 miles, chased him after he got out of the vehicle and tried to strangle him. egan is scheduled to appear in court on thursday. and a new development in the investigation into one direction singer liam payne's death. prosecutors in argentina, where payne died back in october, say five people have now been charged in the case, including payne's manager and the manager of the hotel, where payne fell to his death from a balcony. another hotel employee and a local

waiter also face charges for allegedly giving payne cocaine during his stay. also not a day to watch the markets. at one point, the dow was down more than 700 points. you can see it's bounced back somewhat there. still in the red. as we approach the closing bell with just one trading day left in 2024. boeing and tesla are among those seeing losses right now, and americans who are looking to save some money in the new year may find those savings at the gas pump. cnn's matt egan has that brianna. >> i have good news about gas prices. gasbuddy tells cnn that 2025 will likely be the third straight year of falling prices at the pump. they are projecting an annual average of 322 a gallon. that would be about $0.11 cheaper than this year. it would also be the lowest annual average since 2021. now, it is true that people are still paying more at the pump than they did before

covid. but it's also true that they're generally making more money, right? wages have gone up significantly. and so that means that gas is swallowing up a smaller and smaller amount of paychecks. now, this forecast from gasbuddy does represent further progress from that nightmare a few years ago, when gas prices skyrocketed above $5 a gallon for the first time ever after russia invaded ukraine. thankfully, today oil prices are significantly lower, in part because the united states is pumping more oil than any country in world history. so you have strong supply. there's also relatively weak demand out of china. so that's why gasbuddy is projecting that americans are going to spend about $100 billion less on fuel than they did back in 2022. typical family expected to spend around $500 less than they did back then. now, we should stress that this is just a forecast. and as always, there are risks

out there that could change things. for instance, there's always the risk of a hurricane that knocks out oil refineries or oil production, and that causes prices to go up. there's also always the danger war or an act of terror that disrupts supplies or unnerves investors. but perhaps the biggest x factor for next year when it comes to energy prices is president elect donald trump's proposals to impose tariffs on mexico and canada. on his first day in office, industry analysts they warned that those tariffs would significantly increase prices at the pump if they were imposed. of course, that's a big if. there's no guarantee they will. but it's worth noting that canada is the biggest source of foreign oil into the united states. of course, getting blamed for higher prices at the pump is the last thing that president-elect trump would want to have happen. he's promised to lower energy prices. on the campaign trail, he vowed to get the national

average for gas below $2 a are very skeptical about that claim. they don't see sub $2 gas unless there was a recession or something else that really crashed demand. gasbuddy is not calling for anything close to $2 a gallon at any point for next year. and gasbuddy. patrick de haan. he told me that if we saw $1.99 gas, it would be because of an economic calamity, not something that americans would cheer. so for now, the forecast is for continued slow but steady progress when it comes to prices at the pump. and that is another reason to be cautiously optimistic about 2025. back to you. >> matt egan, thank you for that. final preparations underway in times square for the big new year's eve celebration. crews are getting the iconic times square new year's eve ball ready for its midnight trip up that 139 foot pole atop one times square. and
