jimmy carter carley found something wrong with the american people. and he clearly found that there was something wrong with himself. there was that kind of humility that carter held out both for citizens and for himself. ronald reagan had none of it. ronald reagan had no sense of the legs and no sense that there could be anything wrong with the american people. and of course it's about optimism combined with reagan's right wing populism that will lead him to win the 1980 election and to take at a sitting president, which is a fairly awesome act as people although. so the speech in a way becomes not just a speech about the energy crisis, the moral and civil crisis that plagues america at the time. and becomes a story of a turning point in our history. it's a turning point away from carter's evangelical humility towards a jerry falwell's redemptive and triumphal nationalism, in many ways. it's a turn away from carter's critique of consumerism and materialism, and it is a turn to ronald reagan's celebration of the free market, including free market consu

host: the heart anof your book is jimmy carter's views on the middle east and broadly on terrorism, itfically on middle eastern relations could you describe it as carter-obama plan that will not work. tell us what you think it will not work. guest: the first thing i have to do is set the scene for the plan. when jimmy carter came into office, because he saw the shot of iran as a conservative republican alpa -- shah of iran as a conservative republican ally, he took the position that this had to go. they had a twin bill of doctor and which richard nixon developed -- twin pillar doctrine which richard nixon developed with a strong iran was in america's best interest. carter did not believe that and did not want a strong iran. he looked to a man in france who was only there for months. that is what intrigues me to read the book. -- write the book. how could a refugee go to france in four months and accumulate the firepower and the money and resources to overthrow country? it did not seem possible to me. that is why i researched this. israel is our proxy. it has been a party of the united

challenging incumbent president jimmy carter. >> i had no doubt that jimmy carter was going to lose to ronald reagan, and that if the democratic party didn't put up a real alternative, someone who was strong and seen as strong, that we would lose that election. >> kennedy's main legislative interest at that point was a national health care system. kennedy became convinced that carter wasn't serious about it and thought carter was not -- not really a liberal enough democrat. >> today i formally announce that i'm a candidate for president of the united states. >> ted and joan reunite in the fall of 1979 as he becomes the third kennedy to run for president of the united states. >> you shake my hand? >> yes, i will shake your hand. >> the 1980 presidential campaign was in fact one of the wildest rides there has ever been in american politics. >> i have a mother who's 89 years young. >> he was awful at first. one of the worst campaigners i

here is one and jimmy carter. ring host: what sort of political -- what shaped jimmy carter's political background and views? guest: jimmy carter had a liberal left ideological world view. he saw the world through the eyes of -- that people such as committee were a human rights movement, and little george washington's -- he actually still does today. washington. he still does today. host: didn't jimmy carter run as sort of a washington outsider, bought part of a liberal or otherwise establishment? guest: he did, but so did barack obama. they both ran out hope and change. host: but barack obama had been a member of the senate. guest: that's true. one was a governor. some would argue that the governor has more experience than a senator. nevertheless, they ran against an unpopular president and an unpopular war could for carter, it was nixon and watergate. for obama, it was bush and iraq. host: the heart anof your book is jimmy carter's views on the middle east and broadly on terrorism, it specifically on middle east

jimmy carter. did a few events, very minor events, but never really got into the swing of it. we certainly saw at the convention in madison square garden, there was never really a coming together. dan, also joining us now, rejoining us is michael beschloss. we've been talking about ted kennedy as a figure in political campaigns, but also internationally. ted kennedy had a moral authority, northern ireland comes to mind. there were other issues, the iraq war we talked about memorably. he, as a member of the armed service committee, but also as a candidate, he immediately was rejected on the international stage. >> that's for sure. in the mid1970s, for instance, he went to the soviet union a number of times and would always be taken in to see the chief leader. because they figured he was a future president and they wanted to stay on his good side. and he always had guts when heb. on occasion, he did. >> the other thing that comes to mind is the relationship with nancy and ronald reagan. dan, nancy re

bill clinton was president and jimmy carter went to pyongyang to try to negotiate a nuclear agreement and there was deep resentment at the white house. it was not well coordinated. in fact, carter came out and briefed the press in pyongyang and went on television before he even called the white house. a very awkward moment and it led to a lot of increased tensions between the democratic president, bill clinton, and the former democratic president, jimmy carter. this is a completely different situation. this is coordinated, obviously, with hillary clinton, with president obama, with the national security council. i think you will find, when you talk to david axaxelrod, that nobody is going to talk about the substance of these talks, but there is no daylight at all between the former president and the current president on this. and the fact that bill clinton went is a real sign of -- it's interesting that the north koreans would welcome him, because he was close to normalizing relations. when i was with albright in 2000, a month before the end of their presidency, and clinton wanted to

we mentioned of course jimmy carter, what about him? >> well, jimmy carter played a really important role in bringing about a democratic free elect in nigraggia following the sand anista fall several years ago. at the same time, richard nixon played a key role and help lessening tensions between the united states and china following tiananmen care. the bush administration had sent him on that mission. so i think presidents can play a very important diplomatic role here in terms of easing tensions and getting certain american foreign policy interests on the ground. >> has it always worked out, or had their been gaffes? >> well, i think that president carter made a major faux paw recently when he tried to interject himself in the israeli/palestinian dialogue. and he ended up alienating israel, and really making the situation far worse than it was when it -- when he first began. >> we've only got about 30 seconds left. but i was surprised by how this is actually a policy that goes back sometime. i mean, all the way to theodore roosevelt? >

when he was running against jimmy carter for the presidential nomination in 1980, i spoke with him a couple times and i remember interviewing him one time live on television. i had a specific question. i was chasing him for an answer, and he led me down various paths and never answered the question period in television you run out of time. we had to go to commercial. he said, " but i never entered your question." >> you have an unusual question -- perspective, having covered him and knowing him. what are your impressions of him as a person? >> just a terrific guy, a great storyteller, and a man who loved to talk politics. he was the most natural politician in the family. of the three brothers who served in the senate, he was the one most at home there. at any given time, he would be surrounded by other senators, republicans and democrats, and there would be of aureus laughing. i would put to him from time to time, when he was walking his dogs. he loved those two portuguese water dogs. wheat started talking politics. i remember one conversation after he endorsed senator obama and the

chris: jimmy carter had these images. the capture of the members in tehran and held hostage for 444 days. every night ted koppel. >> the hostages were eventually released at the stroke of the swearing in and so jimmy carter had to go over as a former president and escort them back -- it was -- it was the most compelling. nightline was born out that -- out of this. it made the president. it diminished the presidency. it made the president seem wea and if you talk about the malaise, there never was a malaise speech. it was that drum beat of the president held hostage could not campaign for the election. chris: it was embarrassing. it was so embarrassing to be, to be involved in the administration that couldn't do anything about this. >> the whole sense of -- of the embarrassment permeated the campaign as well. it wasn't until the last few weeks of the campaign that it became fairly clear that are not aled reagan was going to win. it was the hostage situation that overhung those last two weeks more than anything else. chris:

jimmy carter is president. he thinks jimmy carter is leaning more towards the center and he planted the flag. what he had was not only the firm principles but the craftsmanship. being a senator is a craft. it's a job. if you ask senators who were the best at it, they would all say him. and it was a form of intelligence. i used to interview him, and i remember the last interview i had with him maybe more than a year ago now, asked him about liberalism, and his answers were fine. they were fine. but i asked him about an arcane piece of the immigration bill which he'd done with john mccain and he was talking about subsection 16, photograph c. he had a phenomenal memory and intelligence for that kind of stuff, and a guy who grew up in this charismatic family and could have skated on all that, to have discovered this capacity for deal making, that's whing he found himself. >> ifill: ellen fitzpatrick, how about that? did the contrast on the desire or the ability to skate through on charisma and the kennedy name and

did he ever talk about what it felt like to lose to jimmy carter? >> no. one of the interesting things about senator kennedy is how little he talked about himself. you probably remember, i do, anyway, when one of secretary kissinger's books came out, like a thousand pages and somebody quipped if he left out the pronoun "i" it would have been 200 pages. senator kennedy is one of the few people i knew who could survive without the pronoun "i." he didn't talk about himself much. he didn't really need to but he just didn't do it. and, you know, there was a humility and other values about, that he had, that made him likeable. and it's worth noting. he accomplished a tremendous amount. not because he was there for 46 years you about way he behaved for that 46 years. you'll search in vain for a staffer who use today work for him who will say a bad word about him. everybody wanted to work for him. >> he had the best staff. they were so good. he was so strong. >> because he was so nice and good to them and respectful. he treated people well and it enabled him to ac

the only other visit to north korea by a former american president, jimmy carter in 1994, was widely seen as a success, leading to a diplomatic breakthrough during another era of mounting nuclear tension. here in south korea, opinion is divided. some commentators are welcoming the visit, suggesting it could herald a return to dialogue on broader issues. others fear it is simply rewarding bad behavior and will be exploited for maximum propaganda value by p'yongyang. there is, though, so far no sign of that. bill clinton's arrival was covered by north korea's evening television news, but not until after apparently more newsworthy items such as the improving quality standards at this biscuit factory. john somewheres, bbc news, seoul. >> an analyst at leeds university joins us now but the web can. how do you read this? is this an attempt by the north koreans to get a dialogue going? >> i think it probably is. as was just said, almost everybody who knows what is going on, i would think that the journalists -- unless the talks have been going on with the delegations with the u.n. in new yo

i cannot remember if jimmy carter has been or any former president. what is interesting about this story is that for bill clinton to go, we always thought it would be gov. bill richardson. he has a long history with the north koreans. it seemed that he leaked out at one point that al gore had approached him because these women were working for his current team. it was always assumed that when the time was right bill richardson would go. but gov. richardson has a history with the clintons. it is interesting that the secretary of state chose her husband to send on this very important mission. my sources are telling me that the deal has been worked out and the women are slated to be released. bill clinton is going there to put the final touches on the deal. greta: the women were seized in late march. north korea said they crossed their border in tried them. they have been in a north korean camp. their condition has been unknown. a phone call to a sister was made a few weeks ago and said she was fine. former president bill clinton will return with these j

he did in 1980 against president jimmy carter. kennedy lost the nomination and delivered a stirring convention speech many considered his finest. >> the cause endures, the hope still lives and the dream hall never die. >> repter: his political star was eclipsed by a tumultuous life. he drove off this bridge when a coworker died. his 24-year marriage to joan ended in divorce in 1982. a decade later he married victoria reggie bringing balance to his life and a renewed sense for purpose in washington. at age 75 he appeared to be at the top of his game when he endorsed barack obama. in fact, handing the kennedy torch to a new generation. >> i believe that our country's best days are still to come. >> reporter: edward kennedy, lionizedy liberals, demonized by er rbeemem but remembered by all as a passional passionate lawmaker. he died the way he lived with incredible courage and he knew exactly what was going on at his death. kennedy was 77 years old. now, in january 2010, a special election to fill senator kennedy's seat if not his la

that jimmy carter had been there when i spoke to jennifer griffin.ll right, iran and israel. is israel likely, in your view, to take some of unilateral steps against iran? >> i do not think israel has really made a decision, but i think if you look at history, israel has not been afraid to take pre-emptive military action when it has seen an existential threat to the state of israel. they destroyed the reactor outside baghdad in 1981. they destroyed a north korean reactor in syria in 2007. if anything, the threat posed by iran's nuclear program is even graver, so based on that, you would have to think they probably would. greta: they have given iran until september as to whether they will have discussions about nuclear weapons. what happens after the date passes, if iran just basically blows us off? >> well, the theory then, at least as articulated by the administration, is that we then turn to sanctions, perhaps against refined gasoline being imported into iran, perhaps others. all of that is very interesting and, in fact, when have been a great ide

too had a chance to interview the senator when he was running for president back in 1980 against jimmy carters certainly vulnerable was that he had trouble doing a live television interview, not the one i did with him, when he was asked the question why he wanted to be president. he didn't answer it very well. a lot of people thought that was the moment he lost the chance at the white house. one of the causes nearest and dearest to senator kennedy's heart was health care reform. which have been talking about that. he was a fierce advocate for health care reform. he was the leader in helping to pass the recent legislation that provides health care to millions of children. had he lived, kennedy likely would have been disappointed once again as it seems now the chances of getting health care reform done are receding yet again. democratic senator, russ feingold, told voters there would likely be no bill before the end of the year and maybe never. quoting here, nobody is going to bring a bill before christmas and maybe not even then. if this ever happens, the divisions are so deep. i've never seen

jimmy carter, richard nixon, bill clinton. you know, for every john kennedy, there's a dwight eisenhower who fought his way up. for every lyndon johnson, of course. yes, we will -- always look, it seems to me, when we look at the age of reagan from 19 -- say '77, i would argue, until now, until obama, as a tension between the i had wroly represented in a way by nixon but really personified by reagan and ideology personified by the kennedys. >> mika, speaking of the bush family, george w. bush will be there today. george h.w. bush will not. he will remain, i believe, in houston. he's obviously not as healthy and mobile as he once was. actually, i believe he is up in maine. but george w. bush will be there. a man who struck an unlikely political alliance with ted kennedy in the early months. early year of george w. bush's administration. >> looking now at live pictures inside the church. just looking at walter mondale among many. so much history, so many different facets of history inside that church now. which is officially cal

anantip o'neill, one of the reasons why tip o'neill didn't like jimmy carter is because he didn't believe the new president his fresh face from plains, georgia, was showing the proper respect. >> rose: so many presidents come to washington, especially if they've been governors, they want to be perceived as an outsider. and at some point someone helps them understand in order to get bills passed, in order to be an effective force, you have to have some other relationship, if not accommodation, to the way washington works. >> exactly. >> rose: you understand that. >> you do have to accommodate and the president has to deal with congress, no doubt about it. but you start with the stimulus package, and i think another mistake, cap and trade. nancy pelosi pulled barack obama into the cap and trade debate. a debate he shouldn't have been pulled into if health care really was his number one agenda item. he got pulled into that mess. there's been a lot of noise leading up to health care. so by the time he gets to health care, he's upside down on the deficit. he's upside down on the size of the fe
