carter and others. but jimmy carter does court the segregationist vote in this campaign. and in the final days of the campaign he endorses lester maddox who is running for lieutenant governor at that time. they could not succeed themselves, and carter endorses lester maddox and seeks and wins some of the segregation endorsements here in georgia. he is uneasy about that. even at the time. he chosen, you won't like my campaign, but you will like my administration. there is some evidence that -- i think it is inconclusive, but i think there is some evidence that after that campaign carter apologizes to his primary opponent in that campaign, former governor carl sanders, for carter's conduct during that campaign. but it was not exactly a sterling moment in the life of jimmy carter. think he realizes that and regrets. he takes office as governor of georgia january 12th 1971 and famously says to the people of georgia the time for racial discrimination is over. and this is, in part, what really elevates him in terms of the national profile. the new york times picked up on that.

also for helping us in one of our projects at the carter center. it's very important to me about which i'm going to speak later on this afternoon. i also want to ask your permission to borrow your next president to come and raise funds for us at the carter center. if he can do that well here, i know he can help us a lot. this afternoon i know i'm on a strict schedule, as everyone else has been during this meeting for a luncheon. before i start my talk, i want to urge you to comply with the request to give generously to the islamic society of north america. when i began running for president, i was told that america was a melting pot. and i learned that that's not exactly true. america is more like a beautiful mosaic where people come here from other countries and from other societies, from other religions, from other cultures, keep their own identity but they blend in to make a beautiful picture. so because of that, i want to thank you for being able to speak to my fellow americans about a spubt that's -- subject that's very important to me. i've b

carter has made his way to the smart board. >> there's a lot to look at. let's try to figure it out together. the first thing is the setup. emerging markets have not participated to the extent that the u.s. market has participated over the last five years. this is essentially a five year part juxtaposing s&p 500 with eem and obviously it's the spread that is quite incredible meaning we haven't had the lift that we've seen here in north america. so is the strength of the past couple months a foreshadowing of a bit of a catchup here? we think it is. let's look at some charts. standard one year chart. nice steady up trend. tracking its line and no problems, if you will. yeah? nice channel, if you will. so here's the issue. we're right back to the top. do you break out here or not? this 45 level, keep that in mind. look at here's our line again. look at the weekly chart. well-defined top at 45. well-defined top at 45. the presumption is after you go past a top you exceed the top. the setup is right not only in the daily setup, on the weekly. now keep this in m

jimmy carter has helped jason carter raise lots and lots of money and jason carter is on par with governorhe's out-raised governor diehl. it's not likely the democrats will spend more on this race than republicans will. i have not seen jason carter and jimmy carter together at all. there were photographs put on jason carter's facebook page about six weeks ago where jimmy and rosalyn carter showed up unannounced certainly to people like me at the campaign headquarters, had some photos made and went on their merry way. only if you're raising money will you see jimmy carter with jason carter. if you're just seeing jason carter campaign, he's going to be out there on his own selling himself as a new democratic candidate who the republicans are very mindful of, of not -- it's not just his name they're mindful of. he's not a bad candidate. the republicans respect that about him. >> it's interesting because the impression i certainly get and correct me if i'm wrong, behind the scenes there's this very close bond between jimmy and jason carter. jimmy carter would love for his grandson to continue

that was bad news for mike and carter. take a look.n," it's the only way to make a winning call, rick less to make more. that's what coe and carter tried to do. >> i think you throw back and make it back to the high, 60. >> so he called up his best friend mike and told him to make a trade. just buying the stock, c'mon, mike, don't phone it in. you know the shares of $5,000. >> equipment takes time and money. >> it sure does, not that kind of money. to spend less, mike, instead, bought the january 50 strike call for doctor 2.10. now to make money, he needs verizon shares to rise above $50 by more than the price of that call or above 5210 by january expiration. but here's the best part. because pike is spending less, he can make more and if verizon shares do rise that call will increase in value faster tan the stock. meaning more money in mike's pocket. >> yeah! >> you won't believe where i'm calling you from, man. >> now mike's phone is ringing off the hook because every options action fan has the same exact question, what will he do wi

. >> carter, what is all this bond action tell you? >> you think rates are going lower, in fact, there is relative value in the u.s. compared to everywhere else in the g8. here's the tlt. can you draw it this way or a textbook bearish to bullish reversal. we think this continues on a yield basis at 23, 24, wily the we are going to 12r50e67b8 look at the long-term chart. you can draw the lines fairly well defined. you got to the top of the channel to the bottom of the channel we go to the mid-point. >> i think carter makes an excellent point don't you when he talks about the relative ray tractiveness, it's bee1% now. >> i think given from the language from the fed and they're willing to find down cautious optimism. if field at 23rs something will be wrong in the world. it doesn't make a whole lot of lens sense to me that equities are all time high, bond yields will go back to 2% in a good economic environment. >> my view of in is buying bonds with yields like this to me is the same thing as selling exceptionally cheap puts. i don't see

but that's not such good news for our friends, coe and carter.♪ >> on "options action," it's why we're internet superstars. we know how to risk less to make more. and it's just what coe and carter try to do with their bearish bid on netflix. carter thought the stock looked like a house of cards. >> take your profits if you're long, try to sell short if you can. all right, mike thought, i'm in. but just going short? >>ly not do that. >> and neither will we. look what happened if you shorted netflix two years ago. so define his risk, mike instead bought the january 3 strike put. now to make money, mike needs netflix shares to fall below $380 by more than the cost of that put or below $349.50 by january expiration. but wait. you're spending $30 just to bid against netflix? >> maybe you should have thought that all the way through. >> mike, your move. >> sell the near dated one for about $13.50. >> so to cut costs, mike then sold the august 380 strike put for 13.50 and created his put calendar. but he did something even better. he made make mongolia

i want to take the other side of it, at least carter's technical call. going to go by his guidance. if you look at a three-year charter, 120 looks like fairly interesting technical resistance. if we get one more spike, some sort of risk off action and we see the tlt back at 120, i think this is a good level to look the other way. we have this consolidation last week at 115. today i priced it up. when the tlt was 117.80, you could look at the september, november 115 put calendar. what am i doing right here? i'm selling the september 115 put at about 80 cents and i'm buying the november 115 put at 210. what i'm trying to do is thread the needle a little bit. i'm giving myself some room. i want the tlt to move back to 115. i want the tlt, that 115 put to expire worthless. then i own november. why am i targeting november? we'll have the wind down of qe and the october fed meeting. i think that will be a good opportunity talking about the potential opportunity. maybe that's when the fed is done buying bonds. >> i definitely like trading long calendar spreads.

a >> carter, what's your take? a staggering move in the markets, but yields just want to go lower or remain low at this point. >> well, a week -- this is status quo if it continues. and things that were very cyclical, industrials snapped back. the thing that dan speaks of is very important. europe is in trouble, and their rebound this week just sets them to get in trouble again. >> or, it's a late stage phenomen phenomenon. >> let's talk about the trade today. uso oil, down 15%. a lot of people talk about oversupply, but the trade i want to do is a little, it's a little contrarian. the crude has been down 12% since the june highs when isis started to make inroads in iraq. now, i want to fade the complacency. i think things are going to continue to get worse over the next few months. so, uso, i bought a risk reversal. i leveraged the upside. sold one of the january puts, and bought the 0.75 call. long down 5% at 33. i'm selling the 33 put at the 52-week level. i don't think we'll have this crater below the lows. >>

president carter, it's an honor to have you with us. best of luck on your book and on your humanitarian efforts. and i hope you visit us on the 29th book. to research the causes and possible cougars of gun violence in america. some 70,000 people attended the national rifle association's annual meeting this spring. on the agenda, passing a federal law that would allow gun owners with school carry permits to pack their guns in states where concealed care is banned. loaded guns in some circumstances to be brought into bars, churches, school zones, government buildings even airport areas outside security checkpoints. >> we as georgians believe in the right of the people to defend themselves and therefore we believe in the second amendment. and today i will put into law a gun bill that heralds self-defense, personal liberties and public safety. >> the little wonder then that georgia congressman jack kingston has chained his tune, now that he's campaigning for the senate. he now calls for banning the centers for disease control, will not be i

president carter was caught off balance by the soviet invasion, but within two weeks jimmy carter that buys a strategy with the united states would pursue for the rest of the war, and he assembled a coalition of states to support it. saudi arabia, pakistan, china, which was a key supporter of the war effort, egypt and the united kingdom and others, all were brought together under the leadership of carter and brzezinski, the tactics of the war and the grand coalition of diplomacy that started it secretly was developed in the last week of december and the first two weeks of january. it had support from democrats and republicans. when ronald reagan came into office in 1981, he essentially just continued the carter policy for his entire first term in office. then in 1986 at the prodding of zia-ul-haq, he decided to increase the and bring in the stinger and the stinger of course changed the battlefield dynamics. whether it really led to the so decision to leave is hard to tell. the soviets might have left it indicates. the stinger was obviously going to be the force multiplier in that regar

. >> carter, what's your take? a staggering move in the equity ma markets but yields just want to go lower or remain low at this point. >> well, a week -- this is status quo if it continues. there's a lot of rotation at the sector level. and things that were very cyclical industrials outperformed for a long time. industrials also snapped back. the thing that dan speaks of is very important. europe is in trouble, and their rebound this week doesn't improve it, just sets it back to where it could get in trouble again. >> it seems like those sectors, that would be good news for this market rally. >> or, it's a late stage phenomenon. but the thing that did happen is that financials and consumer discretion which have been laggards for a long time did catch a bid. >> let's talk about the trade today. >> we didn't talk about oil. this is a uso etf. oil was down 3 1/2%. there's reasons that people talk about oversupply and we're talking about weakness in europe and china and economic data. it could be a demand issue, too.

former president jimmy carter has called out religious leaders for perpetuating sexism. in his new book, carter says wrong interpretations of holy books - particularly the bible - are a major contributing factor to inequality between the sexes. the former president is still a his ran though he left the southern baptist convention due to the treatment much women. >> practice of religion that is a basic cause on the foundation or the excuse for other abuses, where women are deprived of an equal right to serve god and where they are treated as subordinate or inferior people. >> he stressed that jesus himself never disrespected women but later church leaders up to the present day have treated women as second class citizens. carter called for women to have an equal role in church, saying, "all are equal in the eyes of god." so debra carnahan is religion sexist? >> it is. a christian tradition here in the west seems to be oddly ignoring else r elsewhere. >> so much for subjugating women provide by these religious sects. >> a lot of people use that as crutch to say religion is

. >> i want to go carter. week ago, we were close to record highs in the s&p 500, and now we've got our knickers in a bunch. are we overreacting? >> well, it's the year where nothing is happening. germany, unchanged to down. u.k., unchanged to down. here's the real issue. this is the russell 3000. 98% of all investable capital. breadth has been declining. that's a problem. and right here, 52-week highs, we're at almost a low for the past 12 months. and the reciprocal number of 52-week lows, we're at a high for the past year. it should be the beginning, not the end, of the selloff. >> and we were saying there was one resident bear, but it seems like most of you are skeptical. dan, let's get to your trade. >> well, the nasdaq qqq, 98% of the entire nasdaq 100 were at the highs, and the index were at highs. the top companies are holding it up. it feels like the entire nasdaq is on the shoulders of the iphone 6 launch. i'm looking at the cues, and looking to october. when the stock was $94.75, paid $2.40 for the p

it also featured a 1978 address with president carter. first, david mccullough. he discusses the history of the canal's construction. >> he joins us this evening from boston. evening. >> good evening. >> why do you have a picture in book? >> he was a great friend, the suezfriend of canal. that time spirit of that we would -- they would move on to panama and join the specific to the atlantic as the in any otherd done part of the world. futures the wave of the and that they would simply repeat their success in this very different part of the world forgetting that panama was a vastly differenter the rare, typography,rent climate, everything. they were mistaken about knowing territory, as it were. >> today frk you go to panama, see a lot of him, at thes a bust authority. until a couple of years ago, was a steakhouse in downtown. saw would he think if he the video that we just showed of the canal today? hist would probably break heart because he was an extraordinary man. the loomingf figures beyond anyone else of his time. he was something of a rain maker. an engineer

and that two negotiators had been appointed by president carter. he told me the names and we took our first meeting with them in march of '77 in the embassy of panama in washington. >> what were your emotions at that time? >> well, the house was empty and very cold. he remained the whole time with his coat on, because there was a cold, a cold morning, and was a little bit rude. because we came from panama after certain years of negotiations. as you can see in these photographs here. after that president linden johnson, we assumed the conversations with panama with some scopes after years, those scopes had not reached any success. so we were a little -- a little scared that we were not going to have any new treaty. and for that reason, when we approached the negotiators of the united states, we did not believe that they really wanted to do justice for panama. not that in that moment. not in that time. >> take a step back from that. one of the negotiators was saw linowitz. he wrote about this period, he said for panamanians, the arrangement by and un

carter, have you ever had one, by the way?pancakes, but that looked good. >> i'm going to put the question to you, mike. do you have an option cheaper than a knish, $3.50? >> yes, i think i do, on a stock that i also happen to like, ford motor company. right now we've got lower gas prices, that's going to help sales of f-150s, which is great, but even if those gas prices go back up, they just started rolling out the new mustang and a lot of other very good small cars as well, like the fiesta and the focus. one of the things you can do is go out in time. we've talked about the fact that options are cheap and look out to those january 17 calls with the stock a little over 17 bucks. you could buy those for $1. that is obviously a lot less than $3.50. okay, in fairness, that represents $1 per share. there are 100 shares per contract, so in fact, you'll spend about $100. but we'll look at this on a per-share basis and i think that's pretty good value for money. >> the question now becomes, brian sullivan, would you rather own this

former president jimmy carter writing the u.s.nd eu should recognize hamas is not just a military but also a political force. only by recognizing its legitimacy can the west begin to provide the right incentives for hamas to lay down its weapons. joining me now, ari fleischer, serving under george w. bush. words matter in theory. when we look at policy, the words we choose have an implication. the u.s. designated hamas as a terror group. what is the impact of a former president saying they're not terrorists but politicians. >> what he did say is moral abandonment of right and wrong. it's moral surrender. what's troubling about it from a strategic sense is winds are blowing in a different direction in the middle east because of what happened. >> you think this could actually be damaging even to negotiations that are taking place right now? >> i think most people will ignore what president carter said. what's aggravating is things are changing and recognition that hamas because they are terrorist and radical islam, arabs say let's m

they handled it very quickly. >> but carter is too distraught to calm down. >> get off! get off. >> i'll have to tase you. fixing to tase you, man, if you don't calm down. >> i talked to him during the outburst when he was on the ground trying to get him to calm down. i'm trying to get him to relax if that was possible, but he was in so much pain, it was futile. but i did try. >> my sister was wonderful. she was wonderful. she was so good. she didn't deserve this. >> he kept fighting so other deputies came and finally got him subdued and held him down. >> the rest of jilani's family is visibly shaken by the scene. >> i'm here. i want you to calm down right now. >> they're already upset. when you add this kind of traumatic event right in the middle of proceedings, i'm sure it was very difficult for all of them. >> everyone in the courtroom is emotional, except platt. he appears stone-faced. >> i was not there to see the defendant's reaction, but i was led to believe that he was pretty much without emotion for a situation to be that intense. it didn't really affect him lik

now on carter, you have to say this. think what he's thinking there was an election in gaza, a number of people from hamas who were elected. now we mentioned on this show there should be another election. i think that's a good point. but they are in that sense, quote, a legitimate political force in gaza. they are terrorists. they are murderers. now i don't know of another political force outside the nazis that would reach that conclusion, even the nazis were not elected fairly. but the hamas people were. so i think that's what he was thinking. i don't think the timing is the best -- >> probably not. let me ask, eric, when you have this phenomenon that's growing and you have a former president of the united states kind of giving credibility to their arguments, how do you as culturally try to turn back the tide? >> very interesting what's going on. right? historically jews in america have voted democrat. they lean left and vote democrat. what's going on now with the conflict seems the conservatives, the republicans are ba

i think jimmy carter and ronald reagan knew there would be consequences. if you look at the whole thing, the secret war in the 1980s was a global game changer. the cost of $3 billion and not a single american casualty, the soviet union was defeated, within six months the berlin wall fell, the warsaw pact imploded and two years later the soviet union went out of business. the cold war ended. >> charlie: began with kicking the soviet union out of afghanistan? >> i think that was the catalyst. we'll never know if the soviet union had not been defeated in afghanistan what would have happened. >> charlie: we'll never know if somebody different than gorbachev had been head of the party and resisted more. >> that's right. but we know what did happened. they lost and the cold war came to an end and with that the dangerous of thermonuclear war between the united states and russia. >> charlie: were there lessons to be learned for the united states before it kicked out al quaida tore taliban? >> the big lesson is you can't walk away from afghanistan. this is a very d

in the last several months of the carter administration, there was a rather dramatic shift in policyll over the world because it began to appear the soviet union was taking a much more aggressive approach to the development in the third world. there had been of course the invasion of afghanistan. there was the assistance to the cuban forces in angola. there were even russian troops in the horn of africa. there was involvement in the congo and the carter administration in its last days began to push back and engage this. general alvarez in honduras was responsible for the disappearance of several opposition leaders and this took place not during the reagan administration after the arrival, but actually prior to it. there were two cases that went to the human rights core that arose during the carter administration and where it was quite clear that the government wasn't paying much regard to the civil liberties of its opponents. immediately after the arrival as the ambassador, the rebels had been successful in blowing up the power plants that served plunging half the country into darkne

supposed jimmy carter said he is going to level tehran. realize i am sacrificing great americans but i am prepared to do it because this is embarrassing, worst than embarrassing. it is a declaration of war and we want to win this war. we realize there will be casualties but you will be one of them. what would've happened? >> i suspect he would've called our bluff. >> because he was a religious fanatic? did they have information to believe that or were you aware of any information? >> i work on that problem for 444 days. it was pretty strong information that they were willing to sacrifice their country. intelligence information from people around him. i will give you a counterpoint. when jimmy carter was told that the iranians were seriously thinking about putting the hostages on trial as war criminals, he sent that message that if you do this, there will be war. >> that seems to me contradictory. >> i'm afraid my answer is contradictory on that one. my gut tells me khomeini would've called our bluff, at least in the early days. when carter

even carter and ford contributed to it. carter by demanding that soviet jews by released and pushing for human rights and freedom of religion in the soviet unions. reagan gets a lot of that credit because of the tough policy and the way that he very astutelyas. but to make a broad statement that democrats weren't good at it since world war ii. truman created the national dow security counsel. the cia, the whole pentagon apparatus, on and on. kennedy guiding us through the cuban missile crisis. most scholars feel he did an excellent job with that. creating the peace corp. out foxing the soviets over berlin. carter whose considered by many a failure during the camp david piece afford which still is on the books as the great event in middle east history for the last 100 years since the creation of israel meaning it's not a right/left issue. if you're frustrated with obama's policy. i do think that people think republicans are more hawkish which isn't always true. john f. kennedy was much more of a cold war hawk than say nixon

that's higher than the percentage against carter. and ronald reagan also won in that survey among the voters ages 18 to 25. which was the youth group that elected barack obama. so you can see why so many would like to be like ronald reagan and say i'm a conservative. they like to emulate a political success first and foremost. but that said that gets to the question of what did ronald reagan belief? so i endeavored a couple of years ago because a number of books on his face and the cold war and a whole bunch of different things and ther theree conference is being done and my friend said everybody is always calling themselves a reagan conservative you should go out and lay out what exactly is the conservative? what does a reagan conservative belief? okay. i will try to do that. ronald reagan himself was asked what is a conservative? in february of 1977 and ronald reagan was speaking at cpac probably more times than anybody else for the next 1415 years. he didn't miss a single cpac begin tired he was president. as president he spoke to

two exceptions in carter and obama. president carter did abandon good friends of ours. the president of aus salvador, the president of nicaragua. the sandinistas in return. they killed 70,000 in central america. he abandoned the shot of iran and displaced ayatollah. then he abandoned taiwan, the people's a public of china. so he was the first to did this, but not to the extreme numbers and consistency of president obama. >> host: someone who has lived in southern california for most of his life, what is the effect of hollywood on public policy? >> guest: i am not so sure it is on public policy. certainly it is in effect on policy. a lot of people and the country. there is in effect. the main thing they are able to do is get a lot of candidates. people want to see them. in terms of really changing policy, perhaps individual people with an administration, but very few. by and large it is what the president once done, and that is as it should be. with the president once done. as it should be, the people should really understand what they're voting for. if we want to change

involvement in the congo, and the carter administration in its last days, began to push back against this. the -- general alvarez in honduras was responsible for the disappearance of several opposition leaders, and this took place not during the reagan administration, after negroponte's arrival, but actually prior to it. there were two cases that went to the interamerican human rights court that arose during the carter administration, and where it was quite clear that the honduran government was not paying too much regard to the civil liberties of its opponents. immediately after negroponte's arrival as ambassador, the honduran rebels had been successful in blowing up the power plant that served half the country. plunging half the country into darkness for a period of about two weeks. people dying in hospitals. enormous traffic jams. housewives losing refrigerated meat and so forth. and negroponte made himself fairly popular at the outset by arranging for the flying in of substitute power plants and so forth. but the reaction of the honduran government to this development was about w

carter left because of the positions on women.nd you, as you said, have been critical of the catholic church, and you have communicated with pope francis. >> i have, i think he's a great leader and i have hopes for him. and i communicated with pope john paul ii, and i found almost complete inflexion ability there. but i wrote pope francis a letter describing some of the issues in my book and asked him to help minimize the abuse of women and it girls. i didn't ask him to change the catholic position on women and priests, and he wrote me a very nice letter back, and he said that he was convinced that the future role of women in the catholic church needed to be strengthened and would be. >> the book is called, "a call to action." president carter, i hope that you come by and visit us on your 29th book. >>> coming up on this special edition of consider this, freedom in the press, why they are calling president obama the greatest deterrent to press freedom. and many putting their lives on the line to bring you the story, sometimes with

he calls it a legitimate political actor. >> very hard to understand what has become of jimmy carter.certainly never agreed much with jimmy carter but i admired him, particularly his humanitarian work. but he has gone off "the deep end." maybe he is feeling guilt over having to some extent empowered this whole movement in the first place. look, no one person caused all of this out of control islamic terrorism. a lot of it has to do with the organizations themselves but if there is one american contributed more than anyone else is jimmy carter and inability to keep the shah, overthrowing the shah shah. what that did. shah overthrown. hostage crisis, ayatollah. trace 90% what is going on in the middle east right now to the mullahs, ayatollahs. they're creating problem. they're supporting hamas. now how he could be asking us to support a terrorist group is totally mind-boggling. bill: when he was president too, he met at camp david. that was a big deal when it came between israelis and palestinians. >> he was being extremely weak president but seemed to have the best interests of united
