on the floor of the june 9 was notified that former president jimmy carter was flying to south korea. he had been indicted by then-president to come but he decided this time he had to except the invitation to see if he could calm the situation in. he called the white house and vice president gore responded to say i cannot give you permission to go to korea to see the number three and president the longest reigning leader in the world. you have to call the big guy who happen to be in france getting ready for the 50th anniversary of the normandy landing. so he called president clinton and he said i will let you go on one condition that you deliver a letter upper goes lowered jimmy carter says it is important enough so he flew to washington on the way to career to pick up the letter and they asked me to brief him i am in the room with jimmy carter and rosalynn carter and i was the expert what was going on in north korea so i have money spiel and then said it sounds very interesting and was very impressed with rosalynn because she was like the moderator who would ask me the questions jimm

i'm in this room with jimmy carter and roslyn carter and myself and i was sort of the expert on what was going on with north korea. so i had my spiel and after it was over he said oh, it sounds very interesting. by the way, i was really impressed with roslyn because she was like the moderator who would ask me the questions that jimmy carter wanted to know the answers to. at the end jimmy carter said to me, he said, do you see this letter, he said i haven't read it but it's a letter that president clinton insisted that i give to kim l sun and i'll give this to him and i expect to be in seoul in seven days and we broke up and they got in their aircraft and they flew to north korea. only time an aircraft has flown between south korea and north korea. usually they go by service transportation or go into china and come in and instead of staying there seven days, he stayed there seven days and when he came back out he got the whole country team to brief and at the end of it -- i mean, at the beginning he said, you know, i was only going to stay for seven days but i had to stay 10 days and

jimmy carter made a total mess out of the economy. ronald reagan carried more states in 1980 than franklin delano roosevelt carried in 1932. reagan had a simple phrase -- he said when your brother in law is unemployed, is called a recession. when you are unemployed, it is called a depression. when jimmy carter is unemployed, it is called the recovery o-- it is called a recovery. [applause] some of you might expect to hear this next year with one name change. [laughter] let's talk about how destructive the energy policy is. we have 20% less production in the gulf of mexico today than was projected because his moratorium and his regulatory policies are anti-american energy and he is killing jobs and louisiana. [applause] -- in louisiana. [applause] is not just killing jobs here, he is forcing americans to send money overseas. 70% of our net deficit in trade is oil. this makes no sense at all. the president goes to brazil. he says to the brazilians -- you will see this as a commercial -- i want to show it to you because i don't want you

. >> jimmy carter was made in iowa. he made iowa. >> george bush had a big ball in 1980 and it collapsed in new hampshire and ronald reagan -- >> turned out he was slow-mo. >> and then no mo in 1988 because he lost about all -- lost to bob dole. >> we say that polls are only a snapshot at the moment. at the moment, romney seems to have coalesced as the leader. i don't know if he can hold on to that, because god knows we in the press have beat him up well . but the fact he is leading the field and a pronounced way at this point is interesting. >> mitt romney this week acknowledged and admitted that the vast majority of americans believe, that climate change has been contributed to significantly by human activity, and he has been castigated by rush limbaugh and others. >> i don't know whether he will hang in with that position. this will be at test. will he hang or try to switch? rush limbaugh said immediately, "and there goes the nomination." >> anthony weiner draws fire from both sides of the aisle. >> as a woman, a col

. >> one of your favorite people is jimmy carter. why? tavis: you have interviewed him many more times than i have, but what i admire about him more than anything else, and i asked. i am not sure how kindly he took to the question. i asked him whether or not it would be fair to say that he was the best ex-president we have ever had. he said i hear your point, and maybe that is true, but i think i was a pretty good president as well. he pushed back on that. >> in essence it is a slight. >> i wanted to get his take on that question. i raise it because it is hard to imagine the respect and regard that we have for jimmy carter now. he clearly is the best ex- president we have ever had, but it is hard to juxtapose that with where he was in 1979. he was persona non grata, but it is hard to imagine with all the good he has done in the world but you talk about failing up. he is an extreme example of what it means and that is why i respect him so much. tavis: part of succeeding or failing has to do with whether or not you are going to commit yours

he worked for a man no one gave a chance of being the nominee and jimmy carter bet everyone., in exact low june of '91, the front runner in the democratic hine up of polls was mario comio and two jesse jackson and three dick ebhart and asterisk next to a governor of arkansas named bill clinton. that was june of '91. it is comical to see the way the pundits judge the polls now. it doesn't mean anything until we get closer to the iowa caucus. >> pat, what are the issues that mack a republican ignite in the election and cause them to have the election and juice to go on for the general. >> we have a changing political situation right now. the economy is a problem with the president after yesterday's numbers it is about, it may be half of the election. but there is a greater issue out there, the issue of what i call the spector of decline that hangs over the country that people feel. that is in a way we have not seen in years. >> we haven't seen it since the jimmy carter years. >> and water gate. >> yes, he never used that word. >> but a sense of what the country in trouble . we

he was ambassador to yugoslavia for jimmy carter and served as secretary of state during the george h.w. bush administration. the cause of death was pneumonia. he was 80 years old. in this week's youtube address, president obama discusses the state of the u.s. auto industry and its relation to the rest of the economy, including unemployment and the federal deficit. republican senator lamar alexander of tennessee delivers the republican response. talks about the role of unions, including auto industry, and praises the policies of so- called right to work states. this is 10 minutes. >> hello, everyone. i'm speaking to you today from a chrysler plant in toledo, ohio, where i just met with workers, including jill. jill was born and raised here. her mother and step-father retired from this plant. and she met her husband here, and now they have two children of their own. this plant has not only been central to the economy of this town. it's been a part of the lifeblood of this community. the reason i came to toledo was to congratulate jill and her co-workers on the turnaround they helped brin

in 1976, the race was between gerald ford and jimmy carter. carter won ohio by 11,300 boat.here are 13,000 precincts in ohio. if we had overturned one vote per precinct, ford would have won. while he may not have been everyone's cup of tea, he was measurably and demonstrably better than jimmy carter. [applause] fast-forward to 2000, 2004. george bush verses, you know, carry. coming down to ohio once again. george bush carried the ohio by 118,000 votes. just a tad bit under 120,000 votes. you turn 60,000 votes in ohio for john kerry, and you have a different america than we have and that we had in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008. john kerry was wrong for america. obama is wrong for america. what will make the difference is whether or not we are able to go into every precinct in the country, every ward in every county, turning out the vote. we are going to do a lot this weekend to motivate you and educate you, but we are depending on you to activate voters. to train and to activate voters and get them out to the polls. that is what we are destined to do. let me tell you more

when jimmy carter was president. america is a ship adrift in -- and the captain has gone a wall -- awol and it is because of president obama's failed policies that america is in a rut. i would not be surprised if a few months from now, american and here's another presidential malaise speech. -- hears another presidential malaise speech. 2012, real change will come to america. thank you. [applause] >> ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the founder and ceo of the academy of training skills. [applause] >> thank you. i have the honor of introducing someone who has a lot of accomplishments which is rare for politicians today and he deserves the title of statesmen. that word does him justice. i had the opportunity to meet him the year ago at the meeting of the governors of louisiana. i was impressed with his knowledge and over the years i have watched him and i do not think we can find a man with more mallet -- knowledge when it comes to running this country. he has proven a leader when he served as speaker. he can take

why's jimmy carter building houses for the poor when he could be growing the world's longest fingernailspresident bush is following in the noble tradition of presidents like richard nixon, who still holds the guinness record for most anti-semitic slurs per minute. [laughter] and william howard taft, who went on to be one of those fat twins on mopeds. so bravo, president bush for singlehandedly restoring america's image in the world, which, for reasons i don't understand got tarnished over the last decade. [laughter] folks, i'm trying to re-ignite my music career with a follow-up to my '80s new wave classic "charlene, i'm right behind you." so i enlisted the help of guitar god and former white stripe jack white. last night, we got to know each other. tonight, we get to know me. this is: ♪ stephen colbert presents 2001 and one a rock odyssey. featuring jack white.

maintaining military dominance of the persian gulf area it's called the carta doctrine after president jimmy carter he said protection of the flow of persian gulf oil is of vital interests of the united states and to protect that flow will use any means necessary including military force to there and he said we will need military bases in the persian gulf area and he established military bases to support this policy of protecting the flow of persian gulf oil and then wars were fought as well in line with the policy. and west are united by entering a new round here of progress. serving the interest of the saudi arabs. serving the interests of the united states. and demonstrating the high caliber of the american system of free enterprise. system which from this new frontier is nothing into the brain of the world's oil. one of the material that is making a truly great contribution to our modern civilization. one of the reasons the reason for the primary one for the invasion of iraq is to ensure u.s. control over the major energy resources the world to the embassy that's when we go inside baghdad is a

republican, ronald reagan, who launched his campaign against jimmy carter here in 1980.didn't try to play mr. nice guy. >> the carter record is a litany of despair, of broken promises, of sacred trusts abandoned and forgotten. >> reporter: as for huntsman, he has relatively kind worlds for the president he wants to replace. >> i respect the president of the united states. he and i have a difference of opinion on how to help a country we both love. >> reporter: huntsman supports civil unions for seam sex is couples and support ed the work to curb global warming. and on afghanistan, he's staked out a position to the left of president obama. would you pull out the troops quicker? >> i haven't heard anything beyond the 2014 plan. i think we should expedite it. >> reporter: get american troops out faster? >> get them out faster. >> reporter: huntsman knows he has a lot of work to do. right now, most voters simply don't have any idea who he is. you think you're going to pull this off? you think you can win? >> of course. >> reporter: 1%, you got a long ways to go. >> i like yo

the panel was saying to me during the commercial, jimmy carter said he felt lust in my heart.t was infidelity. now to thrust that lust into action, how significant is technology in reducing that threshold or any impulse? >> i think we have a new element to the word affair, which is the cyber affair. on our site you can sign up for short term, long-term, undecided. it doesn't mean it ends on the web. but that's what people are intending to do and what the congressman started to do. >> right. we will get into that later in the show. we will talk about what infidelity is. what i'm most interesting in with you is your perception of a, technology's role of facilitating it. and b, whether in fact we are getting more of it because it is more easily achieved. do you think that anthony weiner would have been able to get away with what he was doing for instance if he used your site? give us a sense of how your website responds to the issue of the people's desire to cheat and their desire not to get caught? >> you know, listen, our foundation wag two-fold. one to create the lliaison and

and we danced at jimmy carter's ball. isn't that a riot? >> she says after that she and her husband became republicans. they next worked on reasonable doubt reagan's presidential campaign. >>> time now 5:16. breaking news coming from florida. we've been watching -- look at this. this is a huge fire right now in kissimmee, florida. this is a vacation lodge hotel in kissimmee. 430 room vacation lodge totally engulfed in flames. we know all the guests have been evacuated. no one's been hurt but some of the people inside have complained of smoke inhalation. you can see all the smoke as well as all the flames. the firefighters still battling this. this is about a mile away from disney's animal kingdom park in kissimmee, florida. but this is a major fire this morning. but the good thing i mean you don't want to see a building loss again it's more than 400 rooms there but apparently everyone was evacuated out of this 430 room building. and it's going to take a while to put this out, but we wanted to show you these live pictures from central florid

. >> to which you said, he may be another jimmy carter. you said this about another republican. >> well, i said that the debate last night was more like jimmy carter than ronald reagan. if you think the pathway to the gop nomination in 2012 to get to barack obama's left on libya, afghanistan and iraq, you're going to meet a lot of headwind. this is not a war of afghan independents. this is the center of gravity against the war on terror, radical islam. it is in our national security interest to make sure the taliban never come back. if with we fail in afghanistan, they'll kill every moderate who tried to help us. no one will step up. it will destabilize pakistan tshg will be abe security mistake. here's the good news, the afghans don't want to be ruled by the taliban. we double training capacity since december 2009. there will be 305,000 afghans under arms. we're making great progress. 6,000 people a month are joining the afghan army. in september 20099 it was 800. we're on track to withdraw. >> are you fearful there's an isolationist stre

. >> host: 1976 jimmy carter's campaign, i will never lie to you was one of a line see used.id he live up to the congress to the promised? >> guest: no, he told at least one. it became clear that the air on rescue mission was going to be exposed. he had jody powell, his press secretary, line to the newsman who smelled that this operation was about to take place. in that case president carter and jody powell did the right thing. i'm sure none of them felt good about it. what is very interesting about lying is that if you think about it we engage in deception all the time in our daily lives. what we call it is spinning. when you ask president obama how the american economy is today, he spends. he tells you the positive news and downplays the negative news. when a boy meets a girl the boy wants today that girl. he goes to great lengths to portray himself and the most positive light. he is spinning. deception as part of daily life. but lying is a special form of deception. most people in our society, the vast majority of people in our society would recoil at being called a liar.

know i think you know when a president hails from respectively bill clinton hail from arkansas on jimmy carter hail from georgia and. bush one to hail from texas they're very proud of that so you get that identity from chicago now or we're very proud that he hails from there. you mentioned meeting people you told me when you came into the studio today that the that you use a television like you used to giving them like for a news conference is that we. must become a russian politicians are of this scale they make like once one day here do you envy them or should they envy you well you know one thing you know i am now not to talk about whatever the moscow or is in petersburg but i made a point to three or four days and even on saturday i can i work there is saturday to make sure because the public is not working so this one america should be out in so we get there for the not jewish. i was out there all the time and working in so that press always had access to me so that was that was something i was proud of and they ask any question any any question whatsoever and so that's all part of commun

starting with the reagan presidency when reagan stopped in force in the sherman antitrust act jimmy carter was the last president to really do that breaking up the t.n.c. when he stopped enforcing the sherman antitrust act we had this mergers and acquisition frenzy they refer to it as the emanate mania or generic resistance michael milken and all these guys and the result of that is that we have these basically oligarchy we have these giant corporations that are keeping out small businesses that are preventing entrepreneurs and starting up that are stifling innovation in america and that have bought and they're buying our politicians and with the complicity of the supreme court we need a president mr obama to stand up and say no to the money party and when they when if you do or if any politician to us frankly the american people are going to be with you because the american people get it that corrupting the the corrupting influence of money in our government is is a horrible thing and it's time for it. just . for the good the bad of the very good tast equally ugly they're good at a credit
