jimmy carter is chosen for this party. >> i congratulate carter on his victory here.eunite on the basis of democratic principles and we will march towards a democratic victory in 1980. >> people are cheering kennedy on. the enthusiasm for what he has to say is more than the response carter gets. >> in good times and bad. we have told people the truth. >> carter want kennedy to come on stage and they can hold up their hands together to show the party's unified but when kennedy comes up he does not do that. >> there will be no photos and tomorrow mornings paper of ted kennedy holding carter's hand aloft. this is slightly awkward. >> kennedy could not be victorious and he ripped the party apart and what they needed to take the election was for unity. >> this country needs a new administration. with a renewed dedication to a dream of a america. a administration that will give the dream new life and make america great again. >> ronald reagan will call carter out for this idea that we live in an age of limits and say no, america's future is just as expensive as it ever was.

he's the author now of two volumes of history, jimmy and rosalynn carter. the first the georgia years. 1924 through 1974. and now jimmy and rosalynn carter power and human rights. as i say, he was professor of emeritus at mississippi state. he's the author of three other books. alan gas, glasgow and the woman within and christopher gadsden and the american revolution and confederate colonel and cherokee chief. the life of william holland thomas. but it's biographies of jimmy and rosalynn that brings us here tonight. and, you know, i think there is probably better person to be in congress with stan lee than steve. steve has been to president carter since 81. he helped research and edit carter's book, keeping faith, and has really had a hand in every book too. carter has written or projects or classes at emory university, so sit back, enjoy its time to learn a lot about president and mrs. carter. steve stanley. thank you, tony. thank you, tony and it is really quite an honor for me to be invited to to come here. and i appreciate it. i especially appreciate it

he shakes jimmy carter's hand five times. he shakes jimmy hand, but he doesn't take jimmy carter's hand and raise it in the classic prizefighters victory gesture and the press jumps on this the next day. myra mcpherson for the washington post is the first one, and then it begins, as press stories do, to to snowball. and it grows in jimmy carter's mind that that ted kennedy refused to shake his hand. and to this day, because it happened just four or five years ago, somebody asked him about that. he said it was reprehensible behavior. he was drunk and he refused to shake my hand and to say it's all over the videotape there's five handshakes, but there's just there's not the fighters clench i guy, sorry to interrupt you. no, no, no. i going to ask, were there members the family worried that he would be the third kennedy assassinated? they were. and he was too. he was too. oh, absolutely there are several instances where he let his guard down in those years, robert was killed and. the threats were real. i mean, the secret service

this week, reports from former vice president mike pence and even former president jimmy carter followed latest revelations from president joe biden about classified material sitting in places they shouldn't be. now the big political implication of this seems to be becoming clearer. the justice department's attempt to make an example of donald trump for his misdeeds with secrets. seems to be hanging by a thread. how can they go after the former president when the crime of which he is accused seems to be pretty much common practice, including for the current incumbent? now it probably is true that trump's handling of his documents makes him more vulnerable to prosecute prosecution than others. but for many republican voters, and indeed other voters, this is a subtle distinction. the underlying issue of classified secret is what counts and they think trump is being unfairly targeted. the white house press secretaries continued stonewalling on the issue only raises suspicions about the politics. behind all this, i would refer to the white house counsel office moving on. i am just not going

now we focus in on jimmy carter. to taking you back here to the start of 1979.val rating was 42.5%. he see him here delivering the state of the union address at 1979. joe biden approval rating the average 42.8%. so similar there. and coming off the 1978 midterm elections, they weren't great for democrats but they weren't that bad for democrats either. a bit like the midterms last year for joe biden's democratic party and the big story with carter and with the country there in the late 1970s, it was inflation, it was gas prices, it was a bad feeling in the country about where the economy was. where the country was. and so in that second two years as carter geared up for re-election, one was in the summer 1979 he went to camp david and retreated from public view. held a bunch of meetings and then addressed the country. this became known as his malaise speech. but carter tried in this speech to rally the country's spirit. it went over fairly well at first. but with time it really became a bit of a running joke. there were deep divisions in the democratic party as w

goes back to jimmy carter. president jimmy carter was already in plains georgia, he was going through stuff. hey i found this stuff. ironic jimmy carter in 1978 who signed the presidential records act. and it would not apply to him but it would apply to president reagan and they called -- they said, you know, i have got this stuff let's go ahead and take it back. you know, you look at mike pence going through stuff. why would mike pence go through stuff? why would joe biden initially go through stuff? i was talking to a smart person down in washington. and they suggested that the 2024 hopefuls, people who think they are going to run for president or are running for president are probably going through things just to make sure they don't have them get it out of the way now. big deal for donald trump. getting it right out of the way. right after the election how convenient for joe biden. nonetheless, this is going to be over and done with in a month or two. it sounds like the fix, brian, probably going to be cong

community organizer if the truth be told and i will be honest people were teasing me i voted for jimmy carter didn't get ronald reagan. i didn't understand it but going off to college and embracing my faith in christ and as i recount in the book i began a conservative transformation as well. i started here in reagan the same things my irish immigrant father raised me to believe that my dad had raised me to believe just that common sense heartland conservativism that is the vocabulary of my youth. i always love that story of an american people heard them talking they would say darn right. and i started to listen and hear the vision that also i was deeply inspired by moved to indianapolis after i graduated and i'm here to sign up for the republican party in this said is not really something you sign up for.

[laughter] and i'll be honest with you, some of the people were teasing me, i voted for jimmy carter i really didn't get ronald reagan, i didn't understand when i went off to college, embraced christ, as i recount in the book, i began a conservative transformation as well. i started hearing and president reagan about the same things my irish immigrant grandfather raised me to believe, i was named after him. then my dad raised me to believe, the common sense heartland conservatism that was just the vocabulary of my youth. there's always that storyt of when the american people heard ronald reagan talk whether they were driving a truck or in an office or sitting on the tractor, they would say darn right and i started to listen and started too hear that vision but also, i was deeply inspired by that kindness and respect he showed for every american. when i moved to indianapolis after i graduated, literally as i recount in the book, i walked into the local rubric headquarters and said i'm here to sign up for the republican party.y. this large chairman looked at me behind his desk andoo sa

[applause] i was one of i think 28 republicans who voted against no child left behind. i voted against efforts by the republican president to expand entitlements, but i had a deep sense as i recount in "so help me god" that if we walked away from that reagan vision of limited government, fiscal responsibility that the american people would walk away from us. in 2006, they did. we would lose in 2006, and i would say at the time that we did not just lose the election, we lost our way. we found our way back. i was a house republican conference chairman the last time we retired nancy pelosi, and in just a fe

[applause] i was one of i think 20 republicans who voted against no childch left behind. but against efforts by republican president to expand entitlements. but i had a deep sense of wheat walked away from the reagan vision of limited government and fifiscal responsibility that the american people would walk away from us. in 2006 they did. the majorities we minted in 19 therefore we would lose in 2006. i would say at the time we did not just lose the election, we lost our way. but we found our way back of the house republican conference chairman the last time we were tired and nancy pelosi

so jimmy carter became the biggest enemy for argentine dictatorship. you have to understand, u.s.s impact. i don't think from the u.s. we are watching that. amy: and henry kissinger? >> henry kissinger was basically supporting the armies in the south, controlled the gorillas. today, the army in different places control al qaeda and islamic terrorm. it is the same. a new cold war. that is what argentina 1985 is not just the past, it is a future. amy: if you can talk about the role of the mothers of the disappeared in argentina. when democracy now! went to argentina and broadcast, we went to the plaza where the mothers marched. there is this moving scene in the film where prosecutors -- prosecutor stressera turns to the women in the courtroom and asks them not exactly directly to take off their scarves because the judges said you could not have banners in the room and they were these scarves around their heads that said they were the mothers of the disappeared and you saw and broke his heart to say this. >> that is real. that tally happen. asking the mothers to remove the scarves. b

it was the largest expansion of the federal department of education since jimmy carter created it. felt like a minute man showed up years late for the revolution. [laughter] i often tell friends i felt like rip van winkle. i went to sleep before the reagan revolution was over her when it started and i woke up after it was over. and so i was one and elton sitting here was a principled conservative every single day of his service in the congress of the united states. elton i want to thank you so much. i was one of my think 20 republicans who voted against no child left behind by voted against efforts by republican president to expand entitlements. iad had a deep sense as i accout and so help me god, that if we walked away from that reagan vision of limited government and fiscalon responsibility, that te american people would walk away from us. and in 2006 they did for that majority to be mentored in 1994 we would lose in 2006. i would say at the time we did not just lose the election, we lost our way. we found our way back i was a house republican conference chairman. the last time w

that same year in 1979 jimmy carter on july 3 had a fighting offering the cia in afghanistan. in an attempt to provoke the soviets into invading that country in the words of the carter administration the purpose of this was to give the soviets their own vietnam a hopeless long term no-win war that breaks the bank to destabilize the country. we did that. through the reagan years this policy continued on include not just back in the afghan tens of thousands of what were called the arab afghans. the army not just arabs but muslims from the philippines, the united states, especially the middle east who all traveled to afghanistan to help fight against the soviet union. then went america permanently occupied saudi arabia and preparation for iraq or one and then permanently throughout the 1990s and the rest of the 20th century and continued to bomb iraq from those in saudi arabia, that is what caused osama bin laden and their group to turn against their former patrons, the united states of america. it was first and for monthly basis in salary while used to bomb iraq in the 1990s pre

you can look at jimmy carter. jimmy carter in part was able to, i would argue, defeat for by making the case that people should be able to live in the segregated neighborhoods of their choosing. so, it is not just a southern phenomenon. it is not just a northern phenomenon. it is an american phenomenon. but it also comprises both parties. conclusion renders the so, i am not suggesting that this conclusion renders the southern strategy -- studying the southern strategy not useful. but i think we should also realize the extent of this. >> i will just add briefly to that that there is a central tension and looking at the southern strategy between, is this some kind of top-down orchestrated strategy to build a new constituency, identifying voters amenable and apply both parties, whether they are vying for this constituency, how forcefully they are going to apply douglas or encoded racial language -- or is this something that is from the bottom up or the astroturf up? orchestrated by particular interest in the south, s

i mean and you can you can go down the line can look at jimmy carter jimmy carter in part was able toi would argue defeat ford by making the case that people should live be able to live in in the segregated of their choosing. so it's it's not just a southern phenomenon. it's not just a northern phenomenon. it's an american phenomenon. but it also comprises both parties. so and. so i am suggesting that this is that this conclusion renders the southern strategy studying the southern strategy. not useful. but i we should also realize the extent of this. so i'll i'll just add briefly to that that that there's a central tension in looking the southern strategy between, you know, is this some kind of top down orchestrated strategy to build a new constituency see identifying voters amenable and, you know, applying on both, you know, whether they're vying for this, you know, how forcefully, they're going to apply dog whistles, coded racial language, appeal to it. and, you know, that there's a sort of cabal all at the top trying to kind of come down and identify something or is something that

even under jimmy carter, tom, then senator biden helped stop jimmy carter's nominee ted sorenson runningaccusing the ted sorenson breaking the espionage act taking documents about his friend in a biography of jfk. this is a big one. hunter biden pressed a box on the home claiming to own joe biden's home in delaware through off-balance sheet company. he was reportedly paying $50,000 a month in rent. why would he pay so much rent if he owned the home? >> that is one of the great enduring mysteries. anytime hunter biden pops up with anything you have to raise a suspicious eyebrow. to your point about joe biden's experience in washington. look, this is not his first rodeo. he is a creature of washington. he served in this city for decades. he knows better than that. he knows the importance of maintaining secrecy of classified documents. he knows he is not allowed to take them when you leave the government. that is one of the more mind-boggling aspects of this. why he thought he had the right to do something which he knows perfectly well he had no right to do. elizabeth: he has been around si

you know, just off the top of my head, i think of jimmy carter, ronald reagan, george w.trations to a run for the white house had a much more checkered record, in fact not a very good record at all. so the governors are lining up to, you know, be considered is sort of interesting. what's fun, neil, used to be that you would declare or not delaware. now you can do a book tour, like pompeo, or a tour like hillary clinton. then an announcement of a exploratory committee, allowing you to raise then. then you've got your formal announcement. i guess the technical answer to your question is, if you get three bites at the publicity apple, three shots, you know, talking to you and other people in the media, why not do that as opposed to actually giving the american people a straight answer, and then you're in, but you got no more excuse to be on television, right? >> neil: you're right about it. there's only one officially, and that's president trump, the only declared republican candidate, but it's obvious from all of these guys -- not just guys, of course, there are a number of

it's the same kind of thing that same year 1979 jimmy carter on july 3 authorized the cia to back the mujahideen in afghanistan in an attempt to push the soviets into invading that country. in the words of the cart of administration at the time the purpose was to get the soviets their own vietnam a hopeless long-term no-win war to destabilize the country. we did that and through the reagan years the policy continued on and included not just backing the afghan mujahideen by tens of thousands of what were called the afghans, the army have not just. from chechnya of the philippines the united states and especially the middle east who will travel to afghanistan to help fight against the soviet union. when america occupies primarily occupy saudi arabia in preparation for iraq war one and throughout the 1990s throughout the 20th century and continued to bomb iraq from saudi arabia, that was what caused osamaom bin laden and i'm in the al zawahiri and their group to turn against the united states of america. it was first and foremost the bases basis used to bomb iraq in the no-fly zones. sup

he defeated jimmy carter by nearly ten percentage points. an outcome pollsters did not anticipate. granted, haynes johnson, he did not dwell mu o hisrection in the aftermath of the 1980 election. instead, he in a news article that reporters would have been served by relying on own stcts, their own legwork, which said in turn produces their own polica instit rather than the presumably scientific sample offered by pollsters. the surprise outcome of 1980 left pollsters bickering among themselves quite openly, which is quite unusual. disputes among pollsters election pollsters tends to be more private, more quiet, more low level. not so in 1980s. aftermath. they bickered about how things got so wrong. and one of the disputes was whether there was this late in the campaign shift of support to reagan from carter or not. some pollsters said, yep, that explains it. others said, that's nonsense. we did not see such a shift late in the campaign. and really, it's still kind of 42 years later. somewhat unresolved. i think the standard explanation is that, yes, there was this shift to ronald re

as some of the people were teasing me after i was at the library today, i voted for jimmy carter and he really didn't, i didn't get ronald reagan, understand it. but when it went off to college, embraced my faith in christ, as i recount in the book i began kindeg of a conservative transformation as well. i started hearing in president reagan the same things my irish immigrant grandfather had raised me to believe. i was named after him. and then my dad had raised me to believe, just thatt common sense heartland conservatism that was just the vocabulary of my youth. i always loved that story of when the american people hard ronald reagan talking, whether they were driving a truck for an office or sitting on a tractor, they would just say, darn right. and i started to listen, and i started to hear that vision, but also i was deeply inspired by that kindness. and respect that he showed for every american. and when i i moved to indianas after i graduated i literally as a recount in the book i walked into the local republican headquarters and said, i'm here to sign up for the republican pa

dollarss to spend with the enormous federal bureaucracy jerry ford be ronald ragan for the nomination jimmy carterteddy kennedy for the nomination incumbent presidents are tough and the idea that somebody will come out of the woodwork and raise money and run against joe biden if you want to run again? unless what we learn about the documents are secret and the university of delaware what we finally learn about hunter biden and a follow that comes together then he cannot run but if he can he will be the democratic nominee. host: so who in your view is the best to take him on quick. >> the person most likely is donald trump. going up 15 points a favorability in the last month. and president ron on —- president trump is focused and disciplined he's one of the most formidable politicians. when he's undisciplined and says goofy things he undermines himself that anyone who came out of nowhere was 16 other candidates like jeb bush ted cruz, john casey, lindsey graham these are not trivial people he beat all of them. had the establishment not gone all out in 2020 he probably would have one in 2020. to wri

president jimmy carter tried a windfall profits tax in 1980. it was rescinded some years later.t didn't result in more investment, it resulted in less investment and less production. normally if you want less of something, you tend to put more taxes on it. if we want more energy production, putting taxes on energy production is probably not a good idea. david: do you find it an uplifting experience to go to washington and talk to regulators? mike: uplifting is probably not the first word that comes to mind. there are detailed discussions and we need to help regulators understand the potential consequences of some of the things they consider. david: would you say that washington by and large doesn't understand the economics of the energy industry, or they could learn a little bit more than they know now? mike: people who sit in these roles have often broad responsibilities and they may not have personal expertise in depth in some of the areas they are responsible for. my job is to come in and try to provide objective input and help them understand the consequences of things they

jimmy carter beat teddy kennedy. incumbent presidents are tough. who is going to come out of the wood work and raise the money and unless bay we learn about the documents that are secret and the university of pennsylvania and university of delaware, what we learn about hunter biden's various illegal activities. if all that comes together then he won't be able to run. if he can run, he will be the democrat nominee. >> biden is note as vulnerable maybe. who in your party is the best to take him on? >> donald j. thrum. went up in favor built the last month. when president trump was disciplined and focused he is the most formidable. when he is undisciplined and say things that are frankly goofy, he undermines himself. anybody who came out of nowhere and beat 16 candidates, john kasich, tid cruz, lindsay graham. he beat all of them. i would agree had the establishment not gone out to destroy him in 2020, he probably would have won in 2020. to right him off is silly. governor desantis, governor wrow yowrchg kin. ted cruz could run. it's a free country. i

has established, according not to me but to amnesty international, human rights watch, president jimmy carter israeli human rights organization, israel has rated the worst system of apartheid ever in human history. the longest occupation in modern history and the worst system of apartheid and oppression and racism and discrimination against palestinians. so she cannot claim that others are racist when she is defending the most racist system in this region and probably in the world. on the other hand, let me tell you something very clear, i do believe that when she says, your guest says that mr. conceive cannot be a member of the -- she reflects the kind of fascist thinking this government and israel has. they want even to exclude people from having the right to democracy -- [crosstalk] for them, the palestinians are all terrorists and anyone that supports palestinians are accused of anti-semitism. if it is a good jewish person voting for human rights and respecting other people like palestinians, they call him a self hating jew. this is the kind of racism reflecting on the israeli people and

limbaugh casting jimmy carter, but also list the other things that's wrong with the carter administration and carter culture. homosexual t is wrong. pornography. television. abortion. discos. divorce and sex education. anti-gay. and a campaigner. anita bryant, who ran around the country trying to overturn pro-gay rights laws across the country. she sent out a newsletter in 1979, the same year that jerry falwell spoke about. jimmy carter warning readers that gays were produced disco records with double meanings and then having straight children buy them. and even disco stars donna summer and gloria gaynor, both who will convert to evangelical christianity later on. donna summer is going to come out in the late 1970s and early eighties and an urge gays to, quote, change their ways. so the popularity a fundamentalist christianity served in the later 20th century united states, even among celebrities of the disco era's, not only were discos, floors, gateways to ungodly activity to these people, but the music they played might be an unnecessary temptation to sin. even if some christian nightcl

in fact, that same year 1979 jimmy carter on july 3 signed a finding offering the caa to start backing the mujahedin in afghanistan and in its attempt to provoke the soviets into invading that country. in the words of the carter administration of the time the purpose of this was to give the soviets their own vietnam, i hopeless, long term, no-win war that breaks the bank and destabilizing the country. we did that. and then through the reagan years this policy continued on and include not just back in the afghan mujahedin attends of thousands of what recalled the arab afghans, the army of not just arabs but actually muslims from chechnya, the philippines, the united states and especially the middle east, who all travel to afghanistan to help fight against the soviet union. then when a america occupied permanently occupied saudi arabia in preparation for iraq war one and then permanently throughout the 1990s and the rest of the 20th century and bond, continue to bomb iraq on those bases in saudi arabia, that was what caused osama bin laden and also worry and the group to turn against the

why write about jimmy carter? steven: several reasons. he bugged me. but i've warmed to the guy a little bit. i think it should be said his assent to the presidency in the 76 election was a thing of genius that showed some insight. after johnson and nixon and watergate and all the rest, what the american people really wanted in the president was somebody who talked sunday school. he taught sunday school for real. metaphorically, but i think there is a serious point there. his campaign was really only organize. it is his post-presidency that is the most interesting in some ways. i spend half the book -- i think he is the first president who took on significant causes after he left office with the tiny exception of herbert hoover, who did the hoover commission on how to restructure the federal government. hoover was the perfect person for that in a lot of ways. carter took on a lot of causes, a lot of which are excellent. habitat for humanity, working to eliminate the guinea worm. but he also interfered with foreign policy as an ex-president. most specta
