living u.s. presidents. how did his life and legacy reflect the changes in the country over the last century? >> no, it's it's interesting. he wasn't. he was pretty much a politician ahead of time. he wasn't out to campaign as an outsider before out. it was really cool. he was someone who believed to things like that's balanced budget. he wanted more responsibility. we came to how welfare world will sure was. that was administered. all these things that you came to fruition during the clinton administration some 20 years later by think you know what, what what understood. was that what i think makes so interesting it's such a special person was that he understood that. he want that americans want our politicians to tell the true. then to backfire. know you because you know, you you talk about h talked a lot about where the campaign about the misery index. you cut the and coming to unemployment and inflation,

which actually went during but he never try to sugarcoat it. you know, we said as president, i'm never going to like you. i think he ever really did this is someone who who i think. was ahead of his time terms how to deal congress, how to deal with with with the budget, how to look at. have a look at just the way the federal government works compared where we are right now. but i think that in the end. you know, people have been kind to him and judge as president. he was only one got defeated in a in in a landslide. you know, talk about his speaking about a crisis of confidence or or returned malaise. you know, the month importance, cardigan, fireside chats. but in the end, would be projecting image decency, humanity and compassion that was part of his. how he managed to do so well in bridging the gaps. for

example, brokering peace between egypt and israel israel. in terms that with his later work, he did with other kind with other countries in terms of what he did for. you haven't checked for humanity. it would need if we're educating the guinea worm disease that used to clean 3.5 million cases in africa every year. and now it's down to like 2 or 3. so this is someone who, you know. was always true to who he was, perhaps not what america wanted at the time, but certainly what america wishes they could have again. >> well, you touched on it. he had a lot of of your battles. you talked about that inflation. let's talk about how iranian hostage crisis affected carter's presidency and his chances for re-election. >> but i mean that it was one of those things that. for pete 4. for the american people for the front, how respondent should his ineffectual, how ineffectual he was present. the irony it is when you look at the history of this, it all

began because after the shot had been deposed, he had cancer and he was he was or if he was in mexico and he wanted he wanted treatment in america. and carter didn't want didn't want to do that. he said to his advisors i don't need is a good idea where they do to our our folks in tehran. but he got pressured better or for worse, he made the decision to let the shine to the country to get medical treatment and the revolution. the revolution in and around push to the point where they went after the american embassy took the hostages. and you know that. that made a career. ted koppel at the time. because every day talk big and broadcast with this is day 142, the american hostages not being released and it just sort of drummed people and of course, a sad part was that they got released half hour after after a was stored. and even though all the work that done

beforehand, what putting the cart and team have been trying to do to get the nod the country. yeah, you absolutely are talking about, you know, one of those biggest obstacles he had to overcome during his presidency. >> over those decades since carter has become quite the beloved figure. what are some of the most impactful contributions through the carter center and his humanitarian work? >> i think it really it. really is. a couple things he's done. a lot of humanitarian work in africa and then and then and europe trying to stow civil conflicts, brokering hostage releases. but i think that when you think it would just the sheer number of people here fact did. he took the cup and resources of the carter foundation and and went after something that a lot of people doing and understand guy, a pair cynical a parasite called getting getting word which goes into drills into your, you're feeding your hands or other parts of your body. they

should be extremely sick to the lies of of thousands of children every year in africa get 3.5 million people infected every single year. and it's it's all issue of hygiene of good practices. and now it's down to a handful of cases a year. i mean, this is comparable to the work that gates of the done. it too much broader claim for for malaria, polio, etc. still, this when those endemic diseases that really affected the quality of life of so many millions. now, people in africa basically got rid of. so these this one of those things. i to me, though, what is always going to be the signature of world jimmy carter is it was was his is diligence getting peace in egypt and israel. you notwithstanding everything and that that that is going on in the middle east, which is which going on right now. the fact is that not having a war

is a standard war between those 2 countries changed a lot. how least has words from and now today. so these are the kinds of things that people were both. remember from a personal standpoint, if i may, my father was an american diplomat news part of the team sent ahead of time to serve, working on normal. as i know, normalizing relations with china, people. people were too sure this a district should ever happen. my dad was part of the team that work to do and where he announced it in late 1978, which be helped bring china into the modern world. so i think that's another big accomplishment of that that making during time as president. >> such an incredible life and legacy michael yaki bringing us his thoughts on the life of

jimmy carter. he has certainly lived life. well, lived with a lot of history. yeah. meeting looking back, you know, looking ahead, i should say. >> 50 years from now, knowing everything that's going on in the country right now. what do you think is going to be the thing that people remember, jimmy carter the most for? >> things that we talked about early decency, compassion, just someone embodied all those. and i think people want those in their leaders today. i think jimmy carter now would be very attractive as a candidate as a politician because those are things that i think we all want to in our leaders and up and up is the complete embodiment of all those carried with it before he was president. why is president as we all know after he was president? >> thank you for that. as michael yaki again, give us those words on the life of jimmy carter will be right back after the break. well, in
