kennedy did a very similar thing to jimmy carter in march of 1980. we know this, came into the united states with a defector in 1992. isn't interesting there recently president carter when he was promoting his diaries talked about how he believed senator kennedy tried to undermine him on health care because of kennedy was challenging carter for the democratic primary in 1980. he didn't mention anything about this. on march 5th, 1980, kennedy again, the same kind tax, the same liaison in moscow had a message delivered to the soviet leadership to leonid brezhnev in this case. as the archive characterized this here is what kennedy was arguing. the carter administration is trying to distort the peace-loving ideas behind leonid brezhnev's proposal. the atmosphere of tension and hostility is being fuelled by carter. the carter white house is sheeting public opinion with nonsense about the soviet military threat and soviet ambitions for military expansion in the persian gulf. what is so john dropping about this is according to this, kennedy is concerned abou

this week, former president jimmy carter discusses his new book, "white house diaries," and often daily account of the events of his administration as they occurred. the 39th president of the united states and nobel peace prize winner reflects on the players and controversies of the late 1970's more than 40 years after recording his account of the facts. he talks of his time in office with historian douglas brinkley. >> host: welcome to washington, d.c., mr. president. it's wonderful to see you. i was wondering when you fly in here and you go over all these monuments, you go over the potomac river and the tidal basin what do you think when you're flying into this town? >> guest: i always pick out the white house to see if it's still there and think about the wonderful times we had at the white house. we flew over the canal this afternoon, as you know of william douglas, one of our great justices of the supreme > court. that is where used to run in the afternoon. i was running about 40 miles a week, which is a lot in washington, around here and at camp david on the weekends so i just thi

jimmy carter msa has taken it beyond anyone. i can't remember the number of books he's written at this point beyond his memoirs, but it's now well over 100 years that we've been having us. if i can just get back to the collar, there is a really interesting point in the book, where president bush says, you know, he regrets he didn't go for immigration reform before social security reform and he says it in that interview as well after the 2004 reelection. i think that choice of timing and sequence is really kind of interesting and you can imagine a very different outcome, not just on this presidency and immigration policy can about republican party had he made that decision. >> host: tevi troy come you were chair of the department of health and human services. >> guest: actually, is that the white house and very involved in domestic policy council. we agreed on the issue. and julian is right that we didn't get it through. president bush reminds us how close they got. i mean, this past the house and they have more of the majority i

in his four years in office, jimmy carter kept a daily diary of his life in the white house.hen he left, he'd compiled more than 20 volumes, some 5,000 pages. he's edited those down for his newest book, "white house diary." last week ray suarez talked to president carter at a forum sponsored by the smithsonian resident associates program in washington. here are excerpts. >> the existence of the book at all is kind of interesting to me. i want to know how your contemporaneous musings at the end of the day instead of being locked away until future historians could get at it came out during your lifetime. >> well, three or four years ago i started reading over some of the diary notes for other purposes. i realized that so many of the things that i had to deal with that were very serious on the desk in the oval office now for president obama to address: the middle east continues, energy, human rights, environment, the koreas, china, afghanistan, iraq and so forth. i would say the main difference between 25 years ago and now is the polarization of the parties. i had tremendous sup

who was jimmy carter? we have carter on the cover of the book kissing brezhnev. carter was anything but hard on the soviets. he was very uncommon in towards the soviets. june 1979 cartridges is linda brezhnev at the vienna summit. and then six much later talk about carter is in the white house celebrating christmas and its news in that the red army has just invaded afghanistan. and then here, just three months after the soviets invaded afghanistan, and kennedy is concerned about the rising cold war and tensions which going to the archives are the fault of carter. wow. wow. put in context. what was going on a march 51980? democratic presidential primaries where jimmy carter didn't come a democratic president is being challenged by senator ted kennedy for that. so what happened in 1980 with carter seems have also happened to some extent in 1983 with ronald reagan as well, in both cases. well, i could give other examples of this, but i'm watching the clock and i should probably stop and i want to take your questions. but that was a look at dewey and frank marshall d

what is going on there now and what you today, jimmy carter, be willing to go to north korea to mighttomorrow, the next week, and try to negotiate a some kind of settlement after this recent, you know, back-and-forth going on? >> guest: well, in a way i hate to say this, but the north koreans trust me. 15 years ago we were faced with the prospect of victory in more -- dockery in war because kim il-sung who is were shipped to north korea, i am of the setting is a combination of jesus christ did george washington for the north koreans because of the various reasons little time to go into, he decided that he would expel the international atomic energy inspectors and start reprocessing spent nuclear fuel rods from their ancient atomic reactor for electricity, and the united states started trying to impose much more severe sanctions on north korea than they had since the 1950's when the korean war was over. kim il-sung announced that if that happened he was going to attack south korea, and the fact is then and now north korea could almost totally destroyed seÓul, the capitol of south korea

the problem isn't that the israel lobby is all powerful or that the people like walter and jimmy carter are silenced and don't get to express their view the problem is their views aren't persuasive. they have lost of the debate and rather than simply accept the fact that most americans don't agree with them they believe somehow they are being persecuted and the policy should be what ever they say it is even though that is not what most americans believe. the israeli lobby is going to change the policy of the state of israel, the state of israel has come around for its own reasons from the believe one day of a palestinian state been too dangerous, to the idea of a consideration in jordan to novelist several prime ministers solution is the best opportunity for israel to have peace. again, the israel lobby, i'm not going to advocate in one way or the other i am just going to tell you the position of the establishment of the israeli lobby is to support the elected government of israel. >> and if the government were to revert back to the original position -- if they did that with the possibi
