that carter wanted to ignore. this is again one of the paradoxes about jimmy carter. now, he could be ruthless on the campaign trail. he knew how to win political power. he knew what was necessary. but he would have to do to appeal to certain voters. and he could calculate, make that calculation because he was ambitious and he wanted to win the governorship in georgia. and the presidency. but once he was in those positions of power that kicked in. and he believed he was obligated. it was his responsibility to not do the politically expedient thing. do not consider the politics but to figure out what was the right thing to do? what was the intelligent thing to do? and to do it regardless of a political cost. so we decided early on the panama canal treaty is something that had to be done. and it came at great political cost. he persuaded the u.s. senate to pass it by very narrow margin. seven of those senators who were up for reelection in the next election two years later lost their seats partly due to their votes on the panama canal treaty. so again and again he paid

carter. i guess k i should go say hi. i kind of chased him down which i don't recommend with former world leaders, and when up and introduce myself to calm it was him and his wife rosalynn. introduce myself and immediately started babbling, which will probably not be the surprising to any of you. and said, youou know, i've been reading a bunch of your speech is my dissertation. i'm in grad school, whatever. i said, but i set up and reading a lot of your speeches and use committee said i'm sorry to hear that. which was very funny, , kind of unexpected. but also it kind of actually rang a bell in my head. so this is 2006, right? think about the context. at that moment in time you have a kind of building cynicism in the country specifically this is an administration of george w. bush we will cover later in the semester, about the way that that administration what did it but also have talked about what they did. there was a kind of growing sense thatt the public had been lied to, a growing sense

i know a lot about the carter. president carter's life and his presidency. i've taught seminars on as presidency four or five times, but there were many, many things that i did not know that i learned from from your book and from your research. so thank you for this for this work. and i'm really excited about talking with you about it. well, thank you for having me. well, you've written a biography is about a variety of fascinating figures. carrie talked about some of them, robert ames, mcgeorge bundy, william bonney, most notably j. robert oppenheimer, the book that you won the pulitzer for. but what attracted you to jimmy carter as a biographer? biographical subject. well, back in 1990, you know, literally more than 30 years ago now, i was just finishing my first biography that took me ten years to write on john j. mccloy. and in that book, i had to write a long chapter, really, about the iran hostage crisis, which, of course, involved jimmy carter's presidency. and that was my sort of first introduction to writing about him. and i got curious about his pr

and this is also carter's view. and, you know, he he believes that the taxes should be very progressive and that government should be working for the common man. and he's suspicious of big corporations and big government. and this explained a lot to me about carter. curveball had a lot of influence before, as you said, from 60 to 1. but even during the white house years, i tell one funny story in the book about curveball, the you know, he would generally fly up to washington every two or three weeks and particularly when there was a crisis. so that he could just be in the white house for a few days and wander around quietly, observe what was happening, and then he would have a one on one with with carter and tell him what he thought. and so one day carter is apparently in the residence upstairs of the white house having a session with a group of journalists, a group of thirsty journalists. but remember, famously, carter moved into the white house and announced that he was not going to serve hard liquor. so he had se

and that gives carter that's one of the ways that carter has kind of in in there's a other things. there's a couple other things going here by. 1976, the country has kind of a new presidential nomination system. and whereas before, if you wanted to get nominated as president we've talked a lot about these conventions. right. we've a lot about 19th century presidential nomination conventions. you had to really get in good with delegates to those conventions. well, now, as of 1976, the system was starting to look like the one that that, you know, we know. and what you need to do is do well in the primary system. you need to in order to win delegates, you got to win state state primaries. and they're in crazy order. and states are early and some are late. they're all over the country and the system, again, this is like relatively new. that point, no one really knows how to game it. no, really knows how it works. no one really knows how to strategize. and carter is able to take advantage of that and think his own strategy. there's some some strategy, some luck. and he goes to iowa. we

and there there's plenty of evidence that carter was carter was in these ideas. he agreed with these ideas that even as a as a person in the south, he had actually borne personal cost as a business person, not joining these kind of reactive southern white citizens councils and things. but when it came to being president just wasn't at the top of his agenda and he has sort a mixed legacy for that reason in them. and the early part of the administration, the supreme heard a big case on affirmative action and the administration was really torn internally about exactly where to go with that. but they ended up kind of coming out in general support of of the concept of affirmative action. but again, that's kind of reactive. yeah. did any of his campaign focus civil rights like were there broken promises, i guess, or promises, but that that's a good question. yeah, it wasn't really wasn't really a campaign focus either. i mean, it was the campaign was lot more general about this kind of good government kind of idea. yeah it wasn't really front and center campaign. and y

of jimmy carter and rosalynn carter was and is exceptional. when and why did make that decision? well when i had a sabbatical beginning in about august 1990. and so that's when i came over to the library and because i was already interested, john carter as a writer. and so i just started looking to see what was available in the library. and of course i was a huge treasure trove of untouched primary materials. and i started reading little bit more about him and i didn't get very into it before. i really everything read rosalynn was involved in it. and so it occurred to me you could not write about jimmy carter without writing about rosalynn. and also now i know these years later you can't about rosalynn without writing about jimmy carter. but there was unique partner ship and almost everything we know today. all these years later, i would magnificent accomplishments. it is a result of that partnership that was just an unusual and people asked me when i was a newspaper recently that talks about the influence rosalynn had on jimmy and i don't lik

and that's president carter. who demonstrated that you could be a decent, honorable person and still hold the highest office in the land. and i think there is not just simply a nostalgia for the idea of decent, honorable people being president, but a recognition that in some sense our republic requires it. and secondly, they demonstrated a real ability for civic friendship and for personal friendship, even though they were bitter political rivals in the 1976 presidential election after their presidencies, they became very close friends. i was telling paige earlier today that my favorite exhibit here in the museum is the funeral, president ford's funeral, and president carter's speech at the funeral, which is just profoundly moving. it's a really beautiful speech and just such heartfelt delivery and some sense hope on its own right? well, with that, i'd like to introduce our two guests tonight. i'm going to start on my far left there. you're far right with gleaves whitney, who is the executive director of the gera
