camp david was not well known then. i then wrote a long letter to both of them. they both agreed. they arrived. i talked to both. before that, i had a deep psychoanalysis of each man presented to me. folks that thick. [laughter] they turned out to be accurate. i studied those books. i knew both men. i won't go into detail. saddad thought about complicating matters in a long, strategic, aggressive global fashion. vega thought about things in a detailed way. when i deliberately put pressure on the men at camp david saddad would talk about broad generalities and vega would go into semantics. i don't care about the words, let's get down to the ideas. i brought them together. all they could talk about was the past. i never let them see each other. they stayed in their cabins. they ate at different times and i kept them apart. i went back and forth. we kept going and made some progress. we needed an interim. we went to gettysburg. we both agreed we will not talk about the middle east or anything that has happened since 1865. i sat between the two men. [laughter] sadat and all of his gen

camp david was not well-known then. and i hand wrote a long letter to both of them, the originals are down an the carter center. and they both agreed and they arrived. i talked to both men. before that, i had a deep psychoanalysis of each man presented to me. books that thick. [laughter] i've never let gee han read the one about her husband. [laughter] but they turned out to be quite accurate and i studied those books. i knew both men. i won't go into detail about it. sadat thought about complicated matters in a broad strategic, bold, aggressive global fashion. begin was just the opposite. he thought about things in a more detailed way, about how they did they affect the people who had supported him, how did they affect his own interests inside israel. when i deliberately put pressure on the two men at camp david, sadat would respond to escape my pressure, began talking about generalities. begin would become in min tush sharks particularly semantics wondering what this does this word mean and i would almost go mad and s

at camp david. at camp david, a second foreign minister resigned.the middle of the talks, he didn't make it public but he resigned because he thought that was giving away too much and he was killed by islamic radicals who opposed his peace initiative so he took his life in his own hands when he went to jeers lem. it was a courageous affect and one of the attributes i mentioned for a great associate? air and statesman was courage. the political courage to break from the past. example, again, sadat going to jerusalem. crown prince of uae. making peace with israel. that was not popular with his public. and most i think telling was the good friday agreement between the catholics and potest analysis in northern ireland. mediated by former u.s. senator and majority leader journal mitchell and from you had a situation where, again, courage was used. leaders of the catholic and poststandpoint communities who had -- propertiest instant communities who had spent 20 years in what was called the troubles. they said enough is enough. even though our public may w

we are nearly at camp david somewhere else. we always have church services at camp david. there's a there's a chaplain who comes in from a nearby military base. and he has a service for us. i have family in just a few people. and when we're out campaigning or out traveling around the world, we always make a point to go to a church on sunday morning to worship. i think that, among other things, what this church to them during what we all imagine, was just an incredibly stressful time, was this sense of normalcy. in fact, that's what they told the congregation upon their leaving in a in a. they said, you have made our lives normal lives. and we that that meant a great deal to our congregation. amy carter was actually baptized here. tell us the story of the baptism. so she was baptized in the baptist tree behind me. we parted the curtains, the pool was full of water, and the pastor baptized her. i am told by dear man who ran the sound system that day, that the secret service agent was pretty nervous about her being put under the water. so he was watching very closely and our

and it's a shame that at camp david, there were no palestinians. and the reason they weren't is because yasser arafat, who was head of the palestinian liberation organization, refused to accept un resolution 242, land for peace. so the autonomy that kai mentioned, the full autonomy they agreed to, but there were no palestinians to fill it out. and after the administration, at the very end the last six months saw linowitz was negotiating that. but we didn't have any real interlocutors negotiated with. >> all right. you make some very important points. we'll continue this conversation to be sure you're looking at the honor guard at the carter center getting ready to pay tribute, special tribute to the late president of the united states. victor, you're there on the scene for us. give us a little sense of how this is all about to unfold. >> all right, wolf, you can see here on the right of the screen that is the circle of flags here in front of the carter center. and now that the honor guard is in position, the motorcade is approaching. so let's liste

before camp david, before camp david, israel and egypt were across barbed wire, confronting each otherh guns and tanks and planes. but afterward, they talked face-to-face to face with each other across a peace table and communicated through their own ambassadors in cairo and tel aviv. now, that is the kind of future we are offering! feast of the middle east if the democrats are reelected in the fall -- peace to the middle east if the democrats are reelected in the fall! [applause] i'm very proud that nearly half the aid our country has ever given to israel in the 32 years of her existence has come during my administration. [applause] unlike our republican predecessors, we have never stopped nor slowed that aid to israel and as long as i'm president, we will never do so! [applause] our commitment is clear. security and peace for israel. peace for all the peoples of the middle east. but if the world is to have a future of freedom as well as peace, america must continue to defend human rights. [applause] now listen to this. the new republican leaders oppose our human rights policy. they w

so those were the two issues that were faced at camp david. and we left camp david believing that we had completely resolved both issues. the treaty was signed, now 31 and a half years ago, and not a single word has ever been violated in those years between israel and egypt. unfortunately, though, the commitments made concerning the palestine territory has not been carried out and that's still the major issue. i think one of the most difficult and challenging issues that the world faces today hasn't establishing some sort of entity, a sovereign entity on former jordanian land in, the west bank, become even more difficult in the intervening years now that there are hundreds of thousands of israeli citizens living there? yes, there are 300,000 israelis now living in palestinian land and israel is still occupying territory that belongs to the palestine that belongs to the syrians and also some small portions of lebanon. so the basic issue that has changed since then is the desire visual part apparently to a good bit of that land on a permanent. w

i had come in for an event and jimmy called me and told me not to come to camp david because they had a settlement. so we were standing in the door facing the south lawn when the helicopter landed in the men came. when the prime minister came walking in he said mama, we will go down in history for this as she looked at me and said look at that cold fish diet. it was a wonderful exciting time. >> on the way back from camp david by the way we had a telephone and i called former president ford and i told him we had success at camp david and both -- i think that was obviously one of the great highlights of our time here. >> are you enjoying life these days? president carter: not too long ago i was interviewed on my 70th birthday and the interviewer with a different network asked me what was the best time of your life. you've been a naval officer, submariner, a governor and a president, was best time in your life and i thought and i said now is my best time of my life. we have all the advantages of having served as leaders of the greatest nation in the world and we have an intimate relatio

i remember i had come in for an event and jimmy called me and told me not to come back to camp david because they had a settlement and mrs. bacon and i were standing in the door facing the south lawn when the helicopter landed and the men came and when prime minister begin came walking in he said mama, we'll go down in history for this. she looked at me and said look at that cold fish dying, even his one eye is weeping. it was just a really wonderful exciting time. reporter: what about you? president carter: that's one of the highlights. on the way back from camp david, by the way, we had a telephone and i called president gerald ford, former president, and told him we had success at camp david and begin and sadat got on the phone and reported to president ford. that obviously was one of the great highlights of our time here. reporter: are you enjoying life these days? president carter: well, not too long ago i was interviewed on my 70th birthday and the interviewer with a different network asked me what is the best time of your life you've been a naval office and submariner and busi

and then i left camp david to listen to other americans, men and women like you.t has been an extraordinary 10 days, and i want to share with you what i've heard. first of all, i got a lot of personal advice. let me quote a few of the typical comments that i wrote down. this from a southern governor: "mr. president, you are not leading this nation- you're just managing the government." "you don't see the people enough any more." "some of your cabinet members don't seem loyal. there is not enough discipline among your disciples." "don't talk to us about politics or the mechanics of government, but about an understanding of our common good." "mr. president, we're in trouble. talk to us about blood and sweat and tears." "if you lead, mr. president, we will follow." many people talked about themselves and about the condition of our nation. this from a young woman in pennsylvania, "i feel so far from government. i feel like ordinary people are excluded from political power." and this from a young chicano, "some of us have suffered from recession all our lives." some pe

we know, for example, start with the current one, president biden is at camp david. there's still a possibility we'll hear from him later today. when he arrived earlier from his home in delaware, he told reporters he had feelings of anger and frustration about this. in his written statement, he was among the first to signal it might have been a broader operation, more than one person acting alone by saying in his statement at the time that he was directing his teams to continue making sure that there were no other perpetrators involved and there was no remaining threat. that was notable for him to put in a written statement, signaling there was still concern we heard conveyed by local and federal officials. here in florida, president-elect trump is at his golf course as he is most days during the daylight hours. he did speak out earlier to today, implied things that are not accurate. he suggested his warnings about crime going up in the country have been proven again with this situation, and then suggested that criminals a coming in are worse than criminals we have i

. >> norah: and the camp david accords. we should talk about his accomplishments as president and whether they've been underestimated. i do want to point out you're looking at pictures of the u.s. navy memorial and a number of people lining the cold streets of pennsylvania avenue to get a glimpse of this motorcade. we are already with a formation of midshipmen from the u.s. naval academy, the u.s. navy band, the secretary of the navy, the superintendent of the naval academy. vice admiral yvette davis is there as well here we will go there shortly. after the naval academy, former president and the motorcade headed to the u.s. capitol for a ceremony. i want to bring in congressional correspondent nikole killion. she is on capitol hill. nikole, thank you for braving the cold today. >> it's a lot colder here than it is in plains, georgia, right now but i'm sure president carter wouldn't mind. of course this tribute that will be paid in his honor here at the u.s. capitol later this afternoon. it on capitol hill so often we lamen

and we left camp david that we had resolved both issues. the treaty was signed now 31 1/2 years ago and not a single word has been violated in those words between israel and egypt. the commitments to turn palestine territory has not been carried out. one of the most difficult and challenging issues that the world faces today. hasn't establishing a palestinian entity on former jordanian land become more difficult now that there are hundreds of israeli citizens living there? >> there are 300 israelis living in palestinian land and israel is occupying territory that belongs to the palestinians and the syrians and some small portions of lebanon. the basic issue that has changed since then is a part to reclaim that land whereas when i became president israel would withdraw from occupied territories and that was a commitment, resolution 242 and prime minister begin signed it. that's what changed and what he is trying to place. >> the same sort of difficulties that-- the same difficulty drivg you to your wits and in the late 1970's are very much p

the camp david accords.rael and egypt, the superfund program to clean up hazardous waste sites across the country. wind and solar as part of the energy mix to deal with pollution in the air and the greenhouse gases that are causing climate change. the work that he did to create a department of education, a department of energy. in order to look ahead and lead the way for our nation. he always did so with concern for those who are the least tri out the attitudes of jesus christ. blessed are the peacemakers, blessed are the poor. blessed are the sick. lesson are those that are the most vulnerable. that's what jimmy carter was every day that he was president and every day for the rest of his life after he left the presidency. just an incredible american citizen. >> becoming a covenant first and then president. even to the end he defied expectations. he was in hospice care for the final two years of his life. before he went into hospice care you last connected with him and man -- in nantucket. i wonder, how was

the 2 sides worked together, culminating ultimately, and what became known as the camp david accords. eric leaders from the condemns, said noah, how could from that? okay, so your cover letter and that that would be at the house of when to send them a number and them to help with my family belong to be able to. so for i'm the min stuff at home, i've noticed that way a few goes in. i would love to have a few more know what else to put them in the motor bags or check cuts about co pay . i'm not gonna be upset because that'll probably i come to david soft probably for study and then we'll stop up cause a lot of you have to man can be david. hey, yeah, i thought he especially out of selling that enough of easy and there is an error of summit meeting in boston next week to confront the results of camp david. yes. what do you expect to emerge from this meeting and how will that differ from the earlier steadfastness fund summit? me see we hope that the we will have some very important results and the some very important positions to be taken in this uh this, this summit conference which woul

the long days at camp david are over but many months of difficult negotiations still lie ahead.that the foresight and the wisdom that have made this session a success will guide these leaders and the leaders of all nations as they continue to progress towards peace. thank you very much.

he's on his way to camp david. perhaps we might speak at the airport before he heads to camp david.are. he spent the night in delaware new year's eve. but as far as this eagle pass, texas, situation is concerned, again, we don't know that this person was actually crossing the border. so there would likely be some sort of photograph that was taken at the border, because there are license plate readers and whatnot. we know that images are captured at border crossings. but what's not clear is who specifically was driving. and the other thing that's not entirely clear right now is the status, the immigration status of this driver. >> fascinating key details there. david spunt, stay on it. thank you. >> great clarification as we continue to untangle some details coming in about this overall attack, about the perpetrator, about the investigation. the fbi saying that they are looking at this as terrorism. more to come. —sounds like you need to vaporize that cold. dayquil vapocool? it's dayquil plus a rush of vicks vapors. ♪vapocooooool♪ woah. dayquil vapocool. the vaporizing daytime, cough

back to the white house, president biden, who is actually not at the white house, he is at camp davidhe has been receiving multiple different briefings from the highest levels of the fbi, the department of homeland security, the department of justice, and other different officials, intelligence officials, to get the latest on what happened in new orleans this morning. before heading to camp david, where he will spend the night tonight, he said this. >> what happened? >> the action was one of anger and frustration. >> he called it anger and frustration but did release and more thorough statement earlier today, saying my heart goes out to the victims and their family civilly time to celebrate the holiday. there is no justification for violence of any kind and we will not tolerate any attack on any of our nation's communities. meanwhile, the man moving into the white house behind me less than three weeks, president-elect donald trump put out a statement on social media earlier today. it reads, when i said that the criminals coming in are far worse than the criminals we have in our countr

president biden did speak at camp david a bit earlier this evening. in support of islamic date just before he carried out the attack, saying shamsud—dinjabbar was inspired by is and a desire to kill and also said the attack would not break the spirit of the city. new orleans is a place unlike any other in the world, a city full of charm and joy. so many people around the world love new orleans because of its history, culture, and above all its people, so while this person committed support to the city, which is now ushering in the new year, grieving its dead and praying for the wounded. tom bateman, bbc news, new orleans. president biden did speak at camp david a bit earlier this evening. the suspect posted videos in support of islamic date just before he carried out the attack, saying shamsud—dinjabbar was inspired by is and a desire to kill and also said the attack would not break the spirit of the city. new orleans is a place unlike any other in the world, a city full of charm and joy. so many people around the world love new orleans because of its

his biggest foreign | policy achievement is probably helping to negotiate the camp david accords thatt stable treaties the us has helped negotiate. what did you make of that? and the way he really put such singular focus on what he did between those two nations? it was a high priority for him. that was one that — it was his initiative to bring about peace between these countries. i think he was frustrated that it didn't continue the — the process didn't continue after the oslo accords. but it was his persistence and his determination that brought a successful conclusion at camp david. he kept them there. he wouldn't let them leave! they were supposed to go home long before they actually did. he kept driving this issue, "we'll work out the issue. we'll work on that one afterwards, but let's sign this agreement." that peace has lasted. israel and egypt have been at peace ever since. and egypt have been at peace ever since-— ever since. jimmy carter was speaking _ ever since. jimmy carter was speaking - — ever since. jimmy carter was speaking - speaking - ever since. jimmy carter was spe

ray suarez spoke with the president about the diary including the camp david peace talks.

i interviewed almost everyone at camp david and had my experience with clinton at camp david in july of 2000, we talked about that as well, but without jimmy carter and his risk readiness both at camp david and to take that fateful trip in february, which produced the finishing touches on what would be the peace treaty, there would have been no peace treaty. that's an extraordinary testament, not just to carter's competency, the text by the way at camp david went through 23 drafts which he controlled. it's a testament to his perseverance and his determination. >> john, what are we looking at here? >> that's jeff carter. that's jimmy carter's third son. he had three sons and amy who came along 13 years after jeff, and the other two sons are jack carter and chip carter. the entire family, the grandchildren, a close family, took family vacations together where jimmy carter would insist that everybody be prompt and when the bus left, it left. if you didn't catch it, you were left behind. there was only one person who got an exemption from that and that was rosalyn carter, and he was a wo

perhaps his greatest international achievement was the camp david peace accords, the result of his 13s of diplomacy at the presidential retreat in maryland. the accords were a turning point in the conflict. the enduring power of what was achieved at camp david could be found in what was believed to be an impending historic agreement between saudi arabia and israel in the fall of 2023, a possible deal that was obliterated by hamas' terror attacks of october 7th . joining me now, jeremy bash, former chief of staff at the cia and department of defense during the obama administration, and lindsay chervinsky. thank you both very much for coming to the saturday show. i focused on president carter's international legacy. i'm going to begin with you because this connection between the camp david accords and what was believed to about to happen between israel and saudi arabia, you put that connection to me just over the weekend. talk about how the camp david accords was the template for what could have been. >> what president carter brokered in the late 1970s wasn't just a peace deal between i

camp david accords, more than that. but we also had civil service reform.of inspector's general. energy policy that transformed america in a lot of ways. many things that were done. and while carter was generally disdainful of politics, the way in which he brought about the panama canal treaty, including luring in s.i., the famously recalcitrant then republican senator is a study of lore. but i would also add to this, the post presidency. i think an awful lot of americans, ali, think of carter as building houses through habitat for humanity into his 09s. some of his peace keeping efforts through the carter center. but he saved, literally, 10 to 20 million lives in africa through what he did with river blindness and the guinea worm. i had the opportunity, on election reform to have a one on one lunch with president carter. and he talked in a matter of fact way about what he had done with river blindness. but to africa. seen young people who were blinded by this parasite, lives destroyed. and in a matter of fact way, he just talked how he learned that a very

talk about how the camp david accords was the template for what could have been with saudi arabia. >> well, president carter brokered in the late 1970s, it wasn't just a peace deal between israel and egypt, its sworn enemy, it was a three-way deal in which the united states also played an integral role, guaranteeing military and chick assistance for these two important partners in the region. it was a three-way deal, jonathan. that's exactly what the biden administration was working intensively on throughout 2022 and 2023, a new threeway deal between saudi arabia, israel, and the united states. again, the united states would have to provide security guarantees, a long-term security umbrella for israel but also, importantly, a long-term security guarantee for saudi arabia. now, you referenced in your setup that after october 7th, the prospects for such a deal really appear very dim, but i actually think that president carter's legacy of arab/israeli peace building is going to come to fruition. i expect in 2025 and even in the next few months, i look forward to seeing this resurrection

significant foreign policy accomplishments of his administration included the panama canal treaties, the camp david accords, the treaty of peace between egypt and israel, the salt two treaty with the soviet union, and the establishment of u.s. diplomatic relations with the people's republic of china. he championed human rights throughout the world. on the domestic side, the administration achieved achievements included a comprehensive energy program conducted by a new department of energy deregulation in energy, transportation, communication and finance. major educational programs under a new department of education and major environmental protection legislation, including the alaska national interest lands conservation act. now, let's go back to the scene. live on capitol hill. >> we go. we meet our. three. top. dog. cop. bob. cop. bob. cop. ready to stand, reado step, set, ready. ready face. ready to step. ready. to step. ready to step. forward. march. on. what? are. all. ready? step. by step. ready, step. ready. step. ready, step. ready. step. ready. step. ready. step. ready. step. ready. step.

last night he spoke at camp david and offered his condolences to the victims' families. >> president who are grieving today, i want you to know i grieve with you. our nation grieves with you. we're going to stand with you as you mourn and as you heal in the weeks to come. >> biden's remarks came hours after tweeting happy new year. biden looks disheveled and through parts of his address. some say he should have returned to the white house. we'll see if biden goes to new orleans for the in-person updates with f.b.i. and local law enforcement. the national security team are getting briefed with the cyber truck explosion with fuel and fireworks outside the trump hotel in las vegas hours after the rampage in new orleans. also see in biden considers islamic terrorism the biggest threat to the u.s. recall he said this back in 2023. >> president biden: stand up against the poison of white supremacy as i did in my inaugural address to single out as the most dangerous terrorist threat to our homeland is white supremacy. >> president biden plans to return here to the white house from camp davi

world's most bitter enemies, presidency don of egypt and prime minister -- of israel to come to camp davidrecedented series of peace talks. >> his adviser says it does not work, the odds are overwhelming it will work, you will get blamed, why get your hands dirty doing that? >> the issues dividing the two sides included the fate of the palestinians and israeli settlements on the sinai peninsula on the west bank, areas israel had seized in the 1967 war. the meetings were held in seclusion and expected to last a few days by the end of the first day, jimmy carter began to worry. >> on every occasion it was very difficult. he made specific promises to the israeli people he would not do certain things. the most difficult of them was, he had taken an oath before god that he would never give up an israeli settlement. >> day four, the two middle east leaders had stopped talking to each other, they would talk to carter. he began riding his bicycle between the cabins of the egyptian and israeli delegations trying to craft an agreement detail by detail. by day six, they were still stalemated . >> ame

. >> when willie nelson came and performed at the white house and president carter was at camp david for 13 days with begin and sadat, and he was not there for a good reason. i have to go back to camp david. >> i'm sorry, but i want to leave you with one thought, you know, how very important the summit is and how much is at stake in these meetings. i want to ask you tonight to continue to pray for jimmy, for prime minister begging for president sadat. pray for them. pray for those who are with them and that the summit will be a success. good night. i love every one of you. >> if you've ever read the history of the talks in camp david between begin and sadat, it's riveting story of how many times each of the other sides were willing to pull out, and the fact that carter was there with his wife, managing the whole thing, going from side to side, not just in policy things, but in personality things. all the things you really need to do to reconcile people who have hated each other for their lifetimes of human rights. >> i had been hired very specifically to work on foreign policy issues

i mentioned camp david earlier and panama canaland mentioned camp david earlier and panama canal and america, places and people receiving orders through the mail and places like amazon, they should be pausing to think. jimmy carter deregulated the trucking industry and things like that. —— they should be pausing to thankjimmy carter. we -- they should be pausing to thankjimmy carter.- thankjimmy carter. we are -la in: thankjimmy carter. we are playing pictures _ thankjimmy carter. we are playing pictures of - thankjimmy carter. we are playing pictures of that - playing pictures of that historic agreement between israel and egypt, all of this big ticket things that people obviously remember. they also remembered the humiliation over the iran hostages, but the ordinary things he did perhaps go under the radar, so things like seat belts and airbags coming in. that came with his presidency, the devaluation of the alcohol industry, the airlines industry that has impacted millions of peoples lives. ., ., , ., lives. the other thing, and you are hitting _ lives. the other thing, and you are

what are you hearing from the president about this as he landed earlier at camp david?d on this incident throughout the day by senior officials from the fbi and department of homeland security. the president also speaking with the mayor of new orleans and pledging full federal support. now, he did speak with reporters briefly as he boarded air force one enroute to camp david. he declined to comment on details of the investigation. he was asked several times about the origin of the suspect and he said he would not comment although he did say he hoped to be able to say more later on in the day. now, he also said his reaction to this tragedy was one of anger and frustration. before that, the white house released an official statement from president biden. president saying quote, i am grateful for the brave and swift response of local law enforcement that prevented greater death and injury. i direct my team to ensure every resource is available to federal, state, and local law enforcement. he says my heart goes out to the victims and their families simply trying to celebrat

these remarks tonight from camp david to. the president didn't just say, he emphasized don't jump to conclusions. the investigation ongoing. we know from our reporting at the white house the president was brief quite early this morning. the cia, fbi, national security officials and here in washington, d.c., tonight -- the d.c. metropolitan police tells cbs news there is a more visible presence they have now effective immediately and these major events are coming here to washington. run down the list. january 6th, the electoral count is a certified. that is designated a national security event due to what happened four years ago. the seventh of the night, president carter lies in state at the u.s. capital. january 20th another one of those national security special events. the inauguration of president-elect trump. there are going to be an enormous security perimeters, blockades, checkpoints based on those being huge advents but also, cities around the country reconfiguring a reimagining their security your heavy pedestrian av

he's in wilmington, delaware heading to camp david. we're watching for the pool notes. the group of reporters that travels with the president everywhere he goes to see if perhaps he may stop and speak about this horrible tragedy in new orleans on bourbon street. nothing yet from president biden. the only thing we know is he spoke to the new orleans mayor a few hours ago to extend his condolences and pledged the full support of the federal government, meaning the fbi, doj, atf, homeland security and all of those related agencies. we have heard from president-elect trump that will move in here in a few weeks. he put out a statement that says when i said the criminals coming in are far worse than the criminals we have in our country, that statement was refuted by democrats and the fake news media but turned out to be true. our hearts are with the innocent victims and the brave officers of the new orleans police department. the trump administration will support new orleans as they recover from this pure act of evil. we also did hear from the nation's top law enforcement off
