wonderful. so oakland to be built, 12 homes and in a very short period of time and they worked right alongside the volunteers that the would-be homeowners soon to be homeowners and thousands of volunteers. during that time. it was really quite phenomenal to watch up close and personal. and that jimmy carter has always been one of my personal hero is so getting to do that with him and his wife rosalynn, because they were truly a team together with this was amazing. and it was definitely life affirming for me and getting a little bit of time to have a chat with him inside bars was really amazing. yeah, it was. they were they work. but there's no no photo op that, think the cameras were annoyance to him show some video that we had from that not yet well. belmont holding the hammer. he's out there getting active. do you think that there would be?

were down there and what i remember what he remembers because we're talking about it this morning is that at the end of the building was all done. jimmy carter went and shook the hands every single new homeowner, all 100 of them. more than that and also handed them a new bible to go inside house. >> they're all the that woods to me show just how involved he was and how personal was. >> and so many people are men remembering him beyond just politics today. >> absolutely. and i think if anybody and you are one of who have the chance to engage the carters, both of them, you know, they're not only are they very hands-on, but when he's talking to you, he's talking to you. he's focused on you and it's not good live, they care about everybody they get to interact with. and i think they and it said it many times of what an honor it is to get to be part of some

buddies transformation as they are able to achieve homeownership for the very first time. oftentimes generationally. so i think he derived as dan rosen as much pleasure from doing their work as that. they receive that the pomeowners received in the volunteers. it wasn't really an honor to get to spend that time with him and them. they're truly forces of nature for good. >> janice, i'm so glad you could join us so we could talk about former president carter and the work that he did for habitat for humanity here in the barry. appreciate your time. happy new year. >> thank you. you too. and thank you for volunteering. >> so, you know, poor memory of was a great time. i highly recommend. all right. we'll talk about our weather now as take this live look outside from mount tam. it's so nice to see the sun kyle roof. and that last know that i'm with the carters. they were just that walk the walk kind of people, right? not just talk the talk. i love that. i hope we have more americans like
