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 is very well-known in the community, but was someone who pretty much followed the old dixie credit segregationist democratic line at the time his mother miss lillian, it was a character her own right was not having any of that. and i think that was probably one of the biggest influences on him growing up in terms of understanding, you know, that ppp was on a farm. they had a lot for african-americans were sharecroppers on 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 in to grapple with and figure 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 it is not your ration 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 up 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 who some people compared to thomas jefferson, the ability to do so many different things and do do it or whether he was a a preacher or nuclear engineer of, you know, all these things together are part of who who he was and he was 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 to me and no one else did at the time. and then everyone did. and jones last election, which was he spent a lot of time in iowa going iowa state. fair, go into people's homes and he just sort shocked everyone by finishing first and punishing very well. first in iowa to pat on mentioned in the new hampshire by that time, the everyone was caught 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 miss like election when bummed out about 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? >> for humans, 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. you created the department of education and the department of energy. no one understood why. but we're in that. but back then 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 energy was the first one to sort of think about teaching. how do we deal with the fact that we are we b away from what we do, education was another thing where it was housing education. he said. excuse me. he said, no, no, no, no. we need to do something because education is key to this country. i'm going to create a department. i think those rigs to 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 an 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 he created some tension in terms of domestic policies where he could where he had more freedom and where i think his lasting legacy is 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, the 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 for diplomacy and ironically. people forget nominate him for the nobel peace prize at that point not can begin of israel. and and we're so that one, he's a guy brought them all together and he would. he got down me late and so was 2002, but he didn't win the nobel peace prize. lot of it for extracurricular work after he left the presidency. but 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 term it might have changed a little bit, but he never got that opportunity. we did do, though, is instead of licking his wounds in and writing and

writing a book and cream and labor. he said, well, i still have a lot of work to do. remember, he's 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 it you've got to get a lot of work left to do any transform that into was work for habitat for humanity in terms of the his work with the carter foundation to eliminate. yes, one of the actually diseases and cold getting word, which is so great. we can you describe it air and all all the other work he did in terms of diplomacy and championed human rights and working toward peace between other countries 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
