jimmy carter was visiting. the shah was still there. and jimmy carter famously referred to iran as being -- >> an island of stability. in one of the more troubled areas of the world. >> this, of course, was seen by the iranian people as further evidence that jimmy carter was a close friend and ally of the shah. >> this is a great tribute to you, your majesty, and to your leadership, and to the respect and admiration and love which your people give to you. >> so jimmy carter, even before the shah fled iran, was seen as an enemy of the iranian people. got to remember, the kind of situation the shah was in. here is a guy who has been on the throne for 37 years, has been through a number of assassination attempts and weathered a number of revolts against his rule. he has an incredible amount of money from the oil revenues that was coming in. he had one of the most feared security services in the world. so it is not entirely unreasonable that people thought that he would prevail in this operation. and the fact that he just stumbled time afte

s to cover jimmy carter's white house. and it was 34 years agis to cov jimmy carter's white house. and it was 34 years ago. he came and we met. i was actually dating somebody else. he got invited to a luncheon function at the white house. it was cart er's administration. it was the king and queen of belgium. i don't know if he was just being nice to someone back in the office who would get a thrill at going to the white house or if he was interested. so we went and amy carter played the suzuki violin. that was the luncheon entertainment. we realized we didn't get to sit together. we sat separately. so he said we need to go out again. >> when you are writing this book, "news catcher," some of this he was writing. >> he wrote all of it actually. >> this really isn't your book, there is his book. >> he, several years, after he retired -- >> we kept pulling him out of retirement. every time -- nbc news, he would retire, we'd break limb back in. we needed a white house correspondent. can't we just get john palmer. >> yep. >> then retirement living. we kept bringing him back. >> and he l

and jimmy carter and ronald reagan takes them off.and ronald reagan says there is nothing wrong that cannot be fixed. that is a story i am telling how we go from this astringent recognizing what is wrong with america that in order to be successful politicians make that invocation to live in the best of all worlds that ameritech is exceptional. when barack obama nominated cement the power that academic to be an ambassador she had published an article 10 years earlier saying america is responsible around the world. but senator rubio the republican of florida looked her in the eye and asked her to elaborate what does america have to apologize for? she responded america is the greatest country in the world we have nothing to apologize for. [laughter] if you're interested in how that happened, look in the book. >> and from washington. but why is it is the turmoil of the post watergate years that the democrats open the way for ronald reagan? >> edits a big question when jimmy carter we always talk about the pundits the wood is always in the

yesterday in boston, i interviewed jimmy carter about this action. he defended president obama's decision to go it alone. >> was he right to go around congress? >> yes. [ applause ] to expand on that, i think he tried every possible way to get congress to pass a reasonable bill. >> both speaker boehner and majority leader mitch connell said they will take action when new members are seated in january. what specifically can congress do? kelly o'donnell is with me from washington. kelly, what is the practical next step for congress and does it look like they will mobilize as the president seeps to be inviting? >> one of the reasons the republican lawmaker were trying to say wait longer, mr. president is they expect the new larger majority in january will want to weigh in. new members have not been a part of the debate. part of what we will see is a testing of the waters when they arrive in washington. some of the options will be to actually try to pass legislation to sort of override what the president has done in this way. put their own mark on the ma

we have fewer people working today than at any time since jimmy carter was president.n georgia, 400,000 more people had gone food stamps. i think the next us senator needs to understand how to quit u.s. jobs. michelle, just a quick question. how do you create jobs? >> so david, first of all, let me address aca. i have said that you completely misrepresented what i said. i have said that the line needs to be fixed. i have given solutions to fix it and also making sure that we are actually extending tax credits to small businesses. i do not believe it is a perfect bill. i think it has many faults, but i also think we want to go, forwards, not backwards. we do not want where the same gridlock that you seem to want to embrace. you are a new face, but you perpetuate the same level of gridlock. i do not think people want that in the next senator in washington. in terms of creating jobs, i have an eight point job plan. some of the ideas are similar to yours. we need to reform the tax code, invest in infrastructure -- that is accessible to create 1 million jobs. so those are j

>> well, start with jimmy carter and an unusual man, you know, he was -- he grew up in the rural south, in south georgia, the only jew he knew was his uncle in chattanooga, an insurance salesman who could chin himself with one arm. that was very impressive to carter. [laughter] and loved auto racing and that was the only jew that he knew. and the first time he met an arab was at the daytona 500 when he was governor. >> that's his experience. >> so he did go to israel while he was governor. and golda maye lent him a station wagon and went to the west bank visited settlements and he did acquaint himself with the situation there. it was in the holy land, as he thinks of it, he conceived the idea that god placed him in office to bring peace to the holy land. that presumption, to start with. walter mondale, who was vice president, told me on the first day of office, carter said we're going to try and bring peace. and the universal advice from his advisors was, let's wait until your second term. >> the classic second term goal. >> let's not try that right now. so to start with -- it started

and so he was immersed in jimmy carter. and one of the things he writes is that as he found his way around the carter white house, some things were easy and some want -- some weren't. and i found if you want wanted to, you could ask the president, if you didn't abuse the privilege and it was formal. i was working on an environmental piece and asked for time with the president. that gives you the idea early on. that was his greatest heat as a white house correspondent and -- greatest beat as a white house correspondent and i think he was the first broadcaster to win the award was because at 10:00 that night he got a call from the desk there was a tip, prankster or something going on. john said i will check it out. threw on a suit, ran down to the white house and at the north west gate saw that there were all of these cabinet level limos in the west driveway and went in and started asking what was going on and went up to jot -- -- jodi's office -- and said there were people in the oval office but stacks of plates with dried la

jimmy carter, for example, wrote a wonderful book of poetry, called "always a reckoning." it reflects the man. the good man that he is and the life that he has led, and his insights into the world around him and into the life of the south, for example, where he came from. and some of the contradictions of life in the south. he captures those things in poetry and he talks about his politics, too, in poetry. so yes, in all of those things, presidents wrote poetry also did that. ok. well, thank you very much, i appreciate your attention!

obviously this was a last slap at jimmy carter. i mean, the iranians had figured they had cost him his presidency. now they were going to deny him this particular satisfaction of seeing our release while he was still president. there is a conspiracy theory that said there was in fact coordination between the iranian side and the republican -- the reagan campaign of 1980, to prevent us from being released before the election. it's an interesting theory. i've never seen any documentation for it. i would think, after 30-some years, something -- if there was anything to it, something would have come out. >> where did you fly out of, on what kind of plane? do you remember seeing your fellow hostages? what was the reaction? >> these things i remember well. as i get older, peter, sometimes i can't remember where i left my car keys in the morning, but i can remember these things of 32 years ago. i remember well. we went to the -- they took us to the airport. >> in tehran? >> in tehran. i was in buses. i think i was blindfolded. but i think

if particular, john quincy adams was a great writer of poetry, abraham lincoln, umm, uhh -- jimmy carter wrote poetry. ronald reagan wrote a great poem. but not teddy roosevelt. did you have a question? >> yes, i was just curious. how long did it take -- over what. did it take to carve not rushmore? [laughter] >> rushmore, that is a good question! the man who did it was named bor gulam. i think it took him like 20 years to do it. his family is now trying to carve an image of an indian chief -- crazy horse! --on another location on the same mountain, and it is going on in it is not finished yet. it took a great deal of time, no doubt. yes? question back there? in the back? >> yes, there is a great deal of poetry in the bible. there are occasions for reading and referring to the poetry. >> i am sorry, i missed the question? >> did he ever quote the bible for poetry? did he read a lot of the bible during his tenure? >> did he read the bible? >> oh! yes! yes he did. he did read the bible in his presidency. as well as other presidents, and the bible is full of great poetry. particularly in th

instead of writing, best wishes, jimmy carter. i wrote his name and i signed it. took it over to begin's cabin and he was ready to go to washington in defeat. he looked and said, thank you, mr. president. he was angry with me. he turned around and looked at the first photograph and he called out the name of his grandchild. then he looked at the second one and his lips began to quiver and tears ran down his cheeks. and i shed tears also. finally, he looked around and said, why don't we try one more time? then he went back to his cabin and told sadat the signing was off. just then, the phone rang and he said he would sign. >> wow. and did begin say why he did it? , >> carter said that he would amend the language of the side letter. the only change that he made -- originally, he quoted the u.n. ambassador owing back to arthur goldberg, spelling out that this is american policy. the one change you made was that american policy is as it has been stated by the american ambassador. there was no substantive change, it was just cover for begin to accept it. >> tell me abou

so he was immersed in jimmy carter. one of the things he writes, as thearned my way around carter white house, some days were easy, some days weren't. wanted to,, if you you could ask the president, if privilege,abuse the and it wasn't a formal interview, if you had something you were working on -- i was working on an environmental piece and wanted to ask carter i just askeds, so jodi powell for time with the president. that just gives you an idea. his greatest feat as white house correspondent, i think he was the award atwin the correspondents dinner, night, he 10:00 one got a call from the desk that there was a tip. prankster,ably a that there was something going on at the white house. just enough that john said i'll check it out. down to the white house. and immediately at the northwest gate, he saw there were all cabinet-level limos in the west driveway. whatnt in, started asking was going on. went up to jodi's office and saw there was not only everybody in the lower press office and in the lower press office, but pl

he tied jimmy carter in 1980. they both got 43%. which in itself is astonishing. young voters since probably the new deal had been the province of the democratic arty. you cannot imagine that john kennedy pulled less than 60% of under 30 voters in 1960. in 1984, as he is going to a landslide reelection, reagan gets 59% of the overall vote, but voters under 30, he gets 69 point i've percent of the vote. he leaves office with an overall approval rating among all voters of 68%, 69%. among african-americans, it is 40%. there was some polling that had voters over 30 raking and 85% approval rating, which is astonishing. i will just leave you with three lessons about reagan which i think are instructive. during the 1980 campaign, he was giving a speech to the american legion, and at the time -- you have to remember, vietnam veterans are praised and honored, deservedly so, but it was not that way in 1980. they were spot upon by american civilians. the conventional belief among the elites was that there was moral equivalency between south and north vietnam, the pentagon wa

another close race the georgia governor's race, jason carter, grandson jimmy carter. it could end in a run-off. >> thank you very much. >> some voters across the country ran into problems at the polls. jonathan betz has more on that. >> yes, no reports of widespread problems, but some concerns are popping up. connecticut extended voting at two polling places until 8:30. they opened late because election officials did not deliver the voting lists in time. the governor was among those forced to vote and wait to vote. >> a puzzling problem in virginia. some are facing problems. when they try to select the candidates name, the machine selects the opponent. the problem touch screens were taken out of service. voters were directed to use other machines. officials say it should not affect the vote. finally in south dakota. results will be delayed by an hour because of one polling site in rural shannon county, opening an hour late. a poll worker didn't show up, others had to go to his house to get the ballots. we will not get the results until 10:00 p.m. eastern. >> thank you

then i knew that jimmy carter had written poetry. probably did son something with poetry because he did everything intellectually. source of the research in all the presidents. them which ith 18 of had some degree of involvement in literature and poetry. suddenly i realised i had a ever that nobody had written about before. was an interesting story so put together all these essays that i wrote and ended up with this book. that is how got started. presidents who wrote poetry, does the poetry as lect their experiences head of state and the terms on which they govern all why they completely different topics? >> very interesting question. the question is if the poetry they wrote reflected their lives? the answer is yes. john quincy adams for example, who wrote more poetry than any other president. two books of poetry. an epic poem of over 2000 s. su he wrote while he was in office. he lived -- he was a second generation adams. he was raised of being of doing good work for a growing public and an american nation. years of public as presid

nathan deal in georgia who people thought maybe jimmy carter's grandson could give him a run. wasn't that close. sam brownback who we knew was in trouble nevertheless managed to win by four or five points 79 gwen: did we get it wrong or did he? >> the polls did skew more democratic than the election turned out to be the maybe the polls aren't sampling correctly. there will be a lot of second-guessing about that. interesting that some of the states where the president didn't get out and campaign, democratic candidates didn't want him to come, he hade -- made a point that if he had come maybe it would have been different. but the truth is even some places he did go -- illinois, his home state. maryland. both lost. connecticut almost lost. there is not a lot of evidence that his campaigning was any better than not campaigning. >> i think what would have made the difference is to assign a lot greater importance to campaigning in a midterm election with a. having traveled with ronald reagan who had won in a landslide and he saw all the candidates he favored go down in a land slide.

military is backed with protecting your people, the brits in grenada and four years after the failed jimmie carter mission in 1979 in iran? right? >> yes. there is a really important context here which the tape does not capture. so reagan campaigned in part in 1980 on bringing america back. he campaigned on getting rid of the nation's vietnam syndrome, the so-called fear of using military power again and aga grenada, which after all, was a currents tree that -- how many americans had herds of grenada? probably very, very few. he could claim in grenada that there was this terrific american military triumph over communim, by the way can over cuban communists there and in a way, america was back, the military was back, and he was able to kind of dispel some of the really bad taste that a lot of people had from the failed hostage rescue in 1979. >> to hear reagan's personal charm at the end of the conversation when thatcher says i have to get back to a debate, and he says, "eat 'em alive," it's more remarkable than when you just read it? >> he starts off this conversation which was going to be a diffi

we have fewer people working today than at any time since jimmy carter was president, and in georgia, 400,000 more people had to go on food stamps than actually got jobs. michelle, i just have a quick question for you. it is very simple. how do you create a job? >> david, first of all, let me and you completely misrepresented what i said. you actually just made something up there. i have said that the law needs to be fixed, and i have given specific recommendations to make it fixed. repealing cuts that are threatening our rural hospitals, and making sure that we are actually sending tax credits to small businesses. so i do not believe it is a perfect bill, i believe it had many faults, but i also believe we want to go forwards, not backwards. we don't want to be stuck in the same gridlock. you perpetuate the same level of gridlock. i don't think people want that in their next senator in washington. job land.eight point some of those are similar to yours. reform the tax code, change the regulatory burden, and these are a lot of your concerns. we want to create one million jobs. those a

it recounts his september trip to china with president jimmy carter. and with me in new york, cheng li, the director of the john l thornton china center at the brookings institution. i'm pleased to have all of them here on this program. i begin with you. tell me what is the status of u.s.-china relationships today? >> uncertainty because there's a different direction, china and u.s. china relation can go. so it is a critical time. now we know that china is a paradox of hope and fear. probably more so today than any time in the past 25 years. and on the hope side, china just launched very strong anti- corruption. and also wants to adopt a very ambitious market reform. and they also talk about the world law. but at the same time, the political control can control media, also reached the peak. and that is a serious concern about the direction china is going. so at this time, that the apec meeting occur and president after five years-- . >> rose: ed, tell me where you think the relationship is. and where the president is reflecting on your column today, go
