picture, perfect image for you. >> the golden gate bridge just after sunrise on the last monday of 2024, things have really turned around the last 24 hours. in fact, it's a brand new weather pattern. we had so much rain last couple of months. we're due for a break. and actually we need a break because the ground is so saturated. so we're going to get colder conditions this week as we have a cold air mass that follow that last front that came through and also we haven't had a lot of clouds. so heat is really sort radiated away a bit from the surface. and so we're getting cold conditions and they are dry and we need some dry conditions because, again, with the saturated flooded streams and with the saturated soils, it's time to let things take a rest and they will areas of fog this morning, of course, with all the saturated soil. yes, we've got some areas of fog, especially in the north bay, like santa rosa. napa reported. quarter of a mile visibility in livermore so that you're driving that direction. that is something else colder again
7:45 am
tomorrow morning. my goodness. it was colder today than yesterday at this hour by quite a few degrees. how about 20 degrees colder in santa rosa nevado 16 degrees cooler in concord and down 11 in half. moon bay, your temperatures right now, many in the 40's, a few in the 30's, especially in the north bay. and here is the big picture. you see some storms in the pacific. they're going to go up and over the ridge that is protecting us now. so the storm door is closed, officially closed. high temperatures today in the 50's and low 60's and look at the 7 day forecast. it's going to be beautiful and a great start to the brand new year and it's going to be a clear new year's eve. so maybe you bring your i don't know, bigger jacket, maybe not the umbrella. back to you guys. >> all right, kevin, thank you for that. let's get you, roland. nice and light commute. 9 minutes on the bay bridge. that richards center fell bridge that 7 and the golden gate bridge. you're at 20 minutes. >> we can choose to work
7:46 am
together for peace. we can make these changes. and we must. >> well, this morning the nation is waking up to the passing of former u.s. president jimmy carter. carter was the longest living u.s. president dying it over at the age of 100 over the weekend. joining us live this morning with more on the times in this consequential american figure is political analyst michael yaki. michael, good morning. good morning, john. good morning, thank ou so much for joining us this morning. so what we want to talk about, how former president car was born october. first, 1924. in plains, georgia. so he lifted a little more than a century of american history. he also grew up in the jim crow south, doing a very turbulent time for race relations as a peanut farmer, you think his upbringing shaped the politics that we saw from him? >> what's interesting because upbringing could could not. it is his father was someone who
7:47 am
is very well-known in the community, but was someone who pretty much followed the old dixie credit segregationist democratic line and time his mother miss lillian. it was a character of her own right was not having any of that. and i think that was probably one of the biggest influence design and growing up in terms of understanding, you know, that ppp was on a farm. they had a lot we're asking megan were sharecroppers non the commute on their farm. he would work with them there with them, eat with them. but it was a very was sort of the transitional president, i guess you would say in terms of taking the country from the naked 64 civil rights act and its gradual implementation. and this out 2 with a full blown human rights policies that you saw him champion when he became president. but that was that was an arc. it wasn't just a straight line. it was something that it had come with grapple with and figure
7:48 am
out a way to move forward because, you know, you don't get elected. governor in georgia by being completely what we would think of as liberal at the time here to sort of walk a very fine line and eventually he sort pushed to the point where he could say on his inauguration day as by the way, days segregation are far, far over and we're moving into a whole new york area. but that was sort his real breaking out point until that point. yeah, michael, reading about that inaugural speech that he gave as governor. i know it shocked a lot of people there. the state when he gave that. >> his rise, the presidency was unexpected for a lot of people use often referred to as a dark horse candidate. what factors were at play during the 1976 election. >> when the most interesting dispatch, this is this is individual who was extremely smart. jimmy carter is someone
7:49 am
who some people compared to thomas jefferson, the ability to do so many different things was a a preacher or nuclear engineer of, you know, all these things together are part of who who he was and he was the first person understand the importance taking iowa as the first as the first electoral, you know, the caucuses at the time when people didn't pay too much attention to it was kind of new hampshire and then certainly watching there. but he saw the iowa caucuses as a place to catapult him into the national conversation. and so he did something no one else did at the time. and then everyone else did until this last election, which was he spent a lot of time and i want to go iowa state fair, go into people's homes and he just sort shocked everyone by finishing first in punishing very well. first in iowa, 2 federal meant to him and then you have shunned by that time. the everyone was caught
7:50 am
unawares and and the the the primary is pretty much over in in a few weeks after that. so this is someone who understood did the math. then the politics and transform the way campaigning occurred for both parties up until this last election. when which bumped out of out of number one. >> do we know he was really a champion of a lot of urban housing and development. what are some of the former president's most significant domestic achievements in europe is, in your opinion? >> when interesting is that he created by think there are 2 things that he did that art. and a legacy in and we'll see whether they continue into this current administration. created the department of education and the department of energy. no one understood why. but we're in back and we're in the middle of the first. we have a bar by the arab oil producing states in the middle east. and that's part of energy was the first
7:51 am
one to sort of think about teaching. how do we deal with the fact that we are energy dependent as we break away from what do we do? education was another thing where it was in housing education. he said. key to this country. i'm going to create a department. i think those risks too. most significant lasting legacies. you know, a lot of trouble with the congress. and as people know at the time they wanted to go, it was controlled by the democrats. ironically, but they wanted to do things this way. if you want to do things that way, he was the first person to serve to be outsider before outsider was before was cool right away in terms of the election mean people now campaign as the outsider. he was the first one who was one and it's sort of it created some tension in terms of domestic policies where you could where he had more freedom and where i think
7:52 am
his lasting legacy it's in the area of foreign policy. >> yeah, it's interesting seeing that contrasts between lasting legacy, michael, as well as you know, the uphill battles he faced during his 4 years in office, he faced ton of economic turmoil that high inflation and the rise of national unemployment. how did that the immediate and of course, now his lasting legacy has changed so much. >> was interesting because certainly what he did in terms of the camp david accords ending essentially decades of war between between egypt and israel is it's really. even today still, i think one of the most remarkable achievements in in in for diplomacy and ironically. people forget nominate him for the nobel peace prize at that point. not gonna begin of israel and anwar sadat. one. he's a guy brought them all together and he would. he got down me late and so was 2002,
7:53 am
but he didn't win the nobel peace prize. lot of it for extracurricular work after he left the presidency. and you're right. he faced a lot of uphill battles. i think that it would have been very tough for any democrat to being ronald reagan with the economy the way it was. but he made some missteps. he was. he was very dogmatic. in some ways, very stubborn east. i think given the second tour, it might have changed a little bit, but he never got that opportunity. we did do do, though, is instead of licking his wounds and and writing and writing a book and cream and labor. he said, well, i still have a lot of work to do. remember, he was only 56 when he left the presidency. we consider the ages of everyone who rented this past election. 56 seems like a very young age. and you if you felt he had a lot of work left to do any transform that into work for habitat for humanity in terms of his work with the carter foundation to
7:54 am
eliminate. yes, one of the actually diseases and cold getting word, which is so great. we can you describe it air and all the all the other work he did in terms of diplomacy and championed human rights and working toward peace between other countries both individually so with his foundation and at the behest of other presidents who asked him once they realized what he brought to the table, what he could what he could do on behalf of our country. >> thank you so much. that was political analyst michael yaki helping us remember the life and legacy of former president jimmy carter. yeah, and we'll be hearing a lot more from you later on this morning, michael. so we >> really appreciate your time. we'll be right after this break.
