and that was jimmy carter.minority, he became the friend of the majority. and when he went to the naval academy, he asked his roommate, the first black shipment to come to annapolis. he said, i know minorities, i have been minority my whole life and i can help him with life adjustments. he went out of his way to embrace those of us who had grown up in all kinds of conflict. that was the sensitivity, the spirituality that made james earl carter a truly great president. james earl carter was truly a child of god. not only a good farmer, but a nuclear physicist chosen by an admiral to assist him in developing a nuclear navy. but at the same time he was working on a nuclear navy, he was thinking of peace on earth and goodwill toward all men, and especially women and children. i have known president carter for more than half of my life. and i am never ceased to be surprised. i never cease to be in lighted. -- enlightens. i never ceased to be inspired by the little deeds of love and mercy that he shared with us every

he wrote a tribute to jimmy carter. they forged a friendship together in the presidential club and ford will deliver that. ted mondale will read a letter written by his father and the former vice president walter mondale today. >> dana: you will hear from james carter, one of the many grandsons of president carter and joshua carter as well and jason carter. so jason, joshua and james all grandchildren of president carter will have a chance to pay tribute to their late grandfather who they loved very much. >> bill: andrew young is also there today. i was watching him the other day in an interview and talking about his memories of jimmy carter not just as a president but also as a governor before he went to washington, d.c. and the years that he spent in his post presidency. remember, he left the presidency and he was 45 years young, which he had a long runway after that. went into hospice almost two years ago and had survived a long time on hospice, rather, under great care as well. and andrew young will deliver the homi

now, since jimmy has a good decade on me, i'm hedging my bets by entrusting my remembrances of jimmy to my son, steve. according to a map, it's a long way between grand rapids, michigan and plains, georgia. but distances have a way of vanishing when measured in values rather than miles. and it was because of our shared values that jimmy and i respected each other as adversaries, even before we cherished one another. as dear friends. now, this is not to say that jimmy never got under my skin, but has there ever been a group of politicians that didn't do that to one another? during our 1976 contest, jimmy knew my political vulnerabilities and he successfully pointed them out. now, i didn't like it, but little could i know that the outcome of that 1976 election would bring about one of my deepest and most enduring friendships. in the summer of 1981, the two of us found ourselves together again, this time aboard air force one, bound for the funeral of the great peacemaker, anwar sadat. there's an old line to the effect that two presidents in a room is one too many. frankly, i wondered ho

jimmy carter did that.ough his persistence and perseverance, through his own shake police leave -- belief and the power of american diplomacy, he secured the camp david accords, one of the most significant, and durable peace treaties since world war ii. throughout the world, jimmy carter elevated the role of human rights in america's formann -- foreign priority and uplifted civil society in doing that work. jimmy carter was a forward thinking president with a vision for the future. consider his establishment of the department of energy. in 1977, which anticipated the central role it would play in addressing the climate crisis, his creation fema in 1979, which enabled our imagination to mobilize a national response to disasters, which has helped countless communities rebuild and recover. and his founding of the department of education later that year, which elevated public education institutions and increased national standards for the education of america's children and future leaders. jimmy carter was that

wasn't jimmy carter's yle? he was here to get wn in the weeds and the dirt, and he did that literally on numerousabitat builds, including one back in 1994, in eagle butte in my home state of south dakota. well into his 90s, he could be fou with his hardhat and tools on construction sites, doing the practical work required to get falies into homes. a son of man did not come to be served, but to serve. and jimmy carter did his very best to live. according to the calling of his lord and savior. today i join all americans in mourning. president carter and remembering his example. but i rejoice in the thought that he, together with his beloved wife rosalynn, is now before the face of his father. to the family, to jack and chip and jeff and amy and the entire carter family. vice president harris, members of the cabinet leader thune, my colleagues in congressnd my fellow citizens. we meet in ts sacred hall of self-government to honor an extraordinary man, a man who modeled the virtues of service and citizenship, as we

jimmy carter was a visionary. much of what he expounded as his philosophy has sort of come to pass, particularly environmentally and other areas. and attempted to strike some peaceful resolution in the middle east, where they had been trying to do that for 3000 years, nobody had any luck with that. like most visionaries, sometimes your vision does not come to pass until later on. i will say that the first two years of his presidency, i was a carpenter, and we were making great money, and all of a sudden, everything fell apart. i'm not sure why at this point. and it lasted here for many years into reagan's first term, also. i've got to say, his vision was right on the money. he was never able to really achieve it because of human frailty, but we love jimmy carter. i'm sorry to see him go. host: john, florida, good morning. caller: good morning. as far as their hopes and dreams to be fulfilled. the politics is overtaken with partisanship, and we need to get back as far as democracy. host: john, how did you know the

jimmy needed us like family.of purpose and meaning. how do we find the good life? in what does it take to build character? jimmy carter's friendship taught me strength of character is more than the power we hold. ministering to understand everyone be treated with dignity and respect and everyone deserves and even shot. we have an obligation to stand up my dad used to say this and of all, the abuse of power. none of us are perfect. we should ask ourselves, are we striving to do the right things? one of the things that animate our spirit? ego or generosity? we show grace and keep the faith when it's most president. the faith with the best of humankind and america. the story in my view, jimmy carter's life. we've heard some great eulogies came from a house without running water or electricity. story of a man who was once driven and devoted to making real the words of the savior. story of a man who never let politics divert him from his mission, to serve and shake the world. the man had character. jimmy held a deep c

of jimmy carter's life. he saw 17 american presidents, including donald trump. and it's quite extraordinary when you think that one of his biggest achievements there, which was controversial at the time in the 1970s, there's no question. but it reached bipartisan support. now it is in the crosshairs of donald trump. but at that news conference earlier today, just 13 days before donald trump is indeed sworn into office, so many other headlines, including, he said, the gaza hostages should be released before he takes office or all hell will break loose. he also declined to say if he would offer pardons for even the most violent offenders of january 6th and on and on. a few other headlines. but jake, it was jimmy carter who donald trump mentioned several times. and i'm thinking back to when donald trump was in office. there actually was somewhat of a conversation between the two men about relations with with north korea and china. but jimmy carter also said yes, he was looking forward to living to 100, but he w

rosalynn and jimmy carter's mother was the midwife.so, jonathan, in this beautiful ceremony, we have seen five living presidents sitting there. current and past. some rivalries resolved. some not. it's the first time we have seen president-elect trump and mike pence shaking hands since the disputes of their presidency january 6th four years ago. and is seeing president-elect trump sitting next to barack obama and the two of them chatting more than anyone else. we saw, of course, george w. bush, hillary and bill clinton, dan quayle. i mean, it was really a power play of the american presidency. >> you know, it was also about our civic religion and for all of the polarization, all of the alkaloid. we are one people and it is important to be reminded on days like this that we are in this together, for better or for worse and these rituals of state are important for giving us what one critic a hundred years ago called a usable past. >> in fact, jonathan, you made a point in your book that despite jimmy carter foregoing all of the pop and c

jimmy carter stayed. he talked to us all, gave us a speech and then he stayed around for hours talking to students. i got to talk to him and ask questions. host: do you remember what you asked him? caller: mostly i was asking about the vietnam war and all that stuff. what was going on down there. anyway, after -- i had been majoring in saxophone performance. i moved to los angeles. hi medic girl in los angeles who was from georgia -- i met a girl in los angeles who was from georgia. she decided to move back to georgia. this was 1978. six much later, i followed her there and we got married. i was living in georgia, in jimmy's state. we had a daughter in 1979. drove up through washington, d.c. visited the white house, just not inside but went around the fence. jimmy was a real nice guy. attentive. he was interested in hearing what we had to say. host: harry and sandy mentioned the vietnam war. this is what npr is talking about. seeking to heal the country, jimmy carter pardoned men who evaded the vietnam wa

and jimmy carter owns that legacy. and many people know that not just in the us, but as you know said elsewhere. so he will be remembered more than likely for his post presidency, then his actual presence that he really had a concrete effect on people possibly to make people's lives. but we're talking what hammers and nails he was out there hammering and nailing, were talking about diseases. so it wasn't these, it wasn't a foundation, it wasn't something where he went around giving speeches for money. his pulse presidency has not been emulated sense. and i think many people look at it against the foil of modern post presidencies, where people do give speeches for a lot of money. they create foundations with questionable donations. and there's where the political line that gets played in there. jimmy carter didn't want any of that, that wasn't really his style in the 1st place, but he could leverage his, his, his, his famous tie his time as a president for something good. and that's, that's what he did. if we could just

way above with jimmy. every step the way was his first lady from plains life rich with blessed scenes. none was greater for jimmy that he's a lovely shared with rosalyn and the love. the 2 of them shared with their children, grandchildren, great grandchildren. like jimmy rosalyn was and a symbol of american compassion. like no other first lady in our history. rosalyn carter. >> is and be true citizen of the world. >> she became a beloved friend to my wife, and me and tall. the ford family. >> well, carter and ford men were decidedly mixed record when it came to lobby in congress. >> roslyn and betty. we're a beatable in their advocacy for millions of people. whom brought out the shadows. >> of the spare and shame. >> now's time to say goodbye. >> our grief comforted with the joy. >> and the thanksgiving of of knowing this man, this beloved man is very special man. he was given the gift of years. >> and the american people and the people of world will be forever blast by decades of good works. jimmy carter'
