joining us by telephone is former president jimmy carter. give us the reaction to the news about cuba. >> some of the best news i've had in years. long overdue. it's going to be good for the people of the united states and also for the people of cuba. i'm very proud of president obama for having made such a wise and courageous decision. is as expected, he'll have a lot of opposition from right wing committee people who won't see anything good in what he does. but these are some of the longs overdue things i've espoused. since i was in office many years ago, i tried very much to have the same thing happen and we did establish intersections in both havana and also washington, and the last time i was in cuba, i found about over 300 people there working in what would be the u.s. embassy. now and can be now the u.s. embassy. and also lifted all the restraints on travel when i was president but it was reinserted. so this is a wonderful achievement and it's the kind of exercise of presidential authority in recognizing another government over which

when jimmy carter picked him for vice president, mondale sent carter a letter or memo saying what carter needed for a vice president and what mondale could provide for him. it was a very persuasive letter and it got him the job. >> okay. so the vice president that you didn't know, which one was your favorite? >> i always liked thomas marshall because he was -- summit he put up with an awful lot of baloney. when wilson was very sure is what bill, the things he admitted in the sick room, and he wasn't even aware of how sick wilson was, but he was a very good american. he didn't declare wilson disabled and take over the presidency. so he suffered in silence, but wound up being a very, very loyal vice president. >> who do you think was the least effective? >> the what? >> the least effective vice president. >> well, i think not just the least effective of the worst vice president was obviously spiro agnew. he was convicted of bribery. it affected -- [inaudible] and even collected money from contractors, contractors he had paid them off while he was still vice president. it was a terrible sta

and cuba" a new era, and more of my interview with former president jimmy carter. reaction around the world and a look at the impact of u.s. sanctions on cuban culture >>> there are new reports that north korea may be behind the sony pictures hack. sony has cancelled the release of a movie mocking north korea's leader leader. >> good evening. the question of will they or won't they pull the film has been answered. sony, and the film "the interview", is at the center of debate over free speech. sony said because a number of theatres across the country decided not to film "the interview", sony said it would not move forward with its release. it said in a statement, "we stand by the film and film-makers and their right to free expression." there is swift reaction to hollywood heavy weights with a lot of stars taking out frustrations and expressing disappointment on twitter. film-maker judd tweeted: sony steve carrel defeated: it's not those people within hollywood that are expressing concern. >> it is absolutely unprecedented, and it's cap itulation to a terrorist thr

and what he allowed him to do with jimmy carter was give him the opportunity to beat gerald ford over the head with the morality call, beat him senseless with it and ford lost a very close election. we can all go home now that the entirety of the gerald ford administration, except for one thing, what did i leave out? that's what i want to spend the rest of our time together talking about. the two most often asked questions of me about gerald ford. was there a deal? and why did he do it? when i had did he pardon richard nixon? because henry in his gracious opening reminds us that the ford administration celebrating the 40th anniversary in a few days here as we are recording this in the summer of 2014 one month to the day after ford takes office he pardons richard nixon. maybe an even more important anniversary to remember. let's look at the two questions. i want to first talk about question of whether or not there was a deal between richard nixon, gerald ford, or anybody in ford's staff to give richard nixon a pardon after ford took office? to do this we have to go back to the first of

charles: jimmy carter's infamous malaise speech.hough i don't know if he used the word "malaise" -- >> he never did use. charles: what do you think, matt? >> i'm more optimist in. just feeling individual investors, they're starting to get some optimism and be a little more aggressive when it comes to the stock market. i think we could skip over, what is it, your forya and go right to the selloff. i don't think we're going to go in that perfect pattern. charles: doesn't a session like today though when the market was down on relatively mixed news sort of say that we're nowhere near euphoria though? >> nowhere near. i had one call from a client saying we should sell everything today, i have other clients saying let's buy into this pullback. when i get calls saying we must get in there, that's when we're in trouble. charles: what about the economic cycle in hiring? how's that lining up? >> i think there's a disconnect there, and i would say that the hiring cycle where you see the jobs come in, i would say it's lagging behind. obviously

by phone, jimmy carter tried to ties with havana.t do you say to the critics who say this is basically rewarding a repressive dictatorship and giving up leverage the united states might have had with cuba? >> well, the agreement is not supposed to help the cuban dictators and it doesn't. it helps the cuban people and the american people in the long-term. when i was a president, as you just mentioned, we started the diplomatic relations process and we established major intersections in both havana and also washington. in cuba two or three years ago, we had diplomats serves in the intersection of havana. i think that will continue no matter what happens. the normal diplomatic relations will continue and i hope congress goes ahead to remove the embargo and the sanctions because that doesn't hurt the castro brothers. it hurts the people of cuba who had to suffer because of our own imposed economic sanctions. i think this is a good move for both cubans and americans and a major step forward for more freedom and more democracy and respect

we return to a call to action by former president, jimmy carter, with what he calls the most serioushallenge in the world, the deprivation and abuse of women and girls. a false interpretation of religious texts, almost exclusive did i powerful male leaders to proclaim women's lower status, and he said violence and warfare, following the example set by the u.s. has also played a role as violence encourages more violence. the book is "a call to action women, violence and power." i spoke to the former nobel peace winner and asked him what causes this. >> the carter administration is in 79 countries, and since i left the white house, that's what we have been doing, and we have gotten to know people in third world nations, particularly where women and girls are especially bruised. but people can do something about it. and i have 23 recommendations in the book that can solve these. but in the rich world, particularly in the united states, and a lot of problems occur in the poorest countries, the backward countries of the world, we might call them, and also, here in the united states. slave

earlier this year we had the pleasure of speaking with former president jimmy carter what he calls the greatest threat to mankind. >> in his latest book the 39th president calls for an abuse against women. >> it's a great honor to have the president here. we tried hard because he's traveling all the time, traveling with his last book to have him here. you came here. when i met him, i didn't talk foreign policy, i looked at him, i said why do you keep getting younger. he keeps getting younger. >> his smile is so vibrant. as you all know my father served as your national security adviser. i put together a look back as what it was like from my eyes seeing the 2005 you work together. take a look. that's me along with my big brother mark the future ambassador to sweden, my other brother a republican who will work for president bush and my mom and dad at many white house events. we didn't get it at the time but what we had was a front row seat to history and the 39th president of the united states. from a private dinner joining john paul ii's official visit in 1979 to hosting world leaders.

in 1977, in his first full day, it was president jimmy carter who issued a blanket pardon to men who the draft. jimmy carter didn't say that evading the draft wasn't a crime, he said it would be in the nation's interest if men who committed that crime not be prosecuted for it. so they won't. in 1974, 26s nixon doing the pardoning. 1974, nixon pardoned william calley who had been convicted of murder for his role in vietnam. at christmas in 1992, poppy bush pardoned. after prohibition ended, f.d.r. pardoned a man who was convicted under the prohibition laws. president taft, occasionally, issued pardons pause they didn't think a real crime had been committed. but, more aump, people are pardoned because a real crime was committed. the head of the national american civil liberties union, carried out by the george w. bush administration, documented by the senate intelligence committee today, in the case of torture, anthony rumera, the executive director of the aclu, proposes that george w. bush should be pardoned. they should be pardoned for crimes relating to torture. they should be pardo

former president jimmy carter, why he says the deal is good for both sides. the cuba debate. the miami priest caught between an anti-castro congregation and the pope. >> the government says north korea was behind the sony cyber attack. president obama says the u.s. is planning a response but did not offer details. the president also said sony made a mistake in postponing the release of an upcoming film. >> we cannot have a society in which some tic dictator someplae can start imposing censorship in the united states. >> the movie "the interview" was set for reason christmas day. about the assassination of kim jong-un. many fear that other companies could become a target of similar attacks. jake ward is in san francisco. >> john, the evidence that the fbi is citing in identifying north korea as the culprit is basically a string of circumstantial evidence. earlier i spoke to hewlett packard head, exhaustive research into cyber warfare capabilities of north korea and asked if north korea was technologically sophisticated enough to pull this off? >> they're definitely sophisticat

. >> jimmy carter. >> jimmy carter was too trusting, in a lot of ways. americanhat the foreign-policy, if we were open and honest with our adversaries and friends, the world would be a better place. it did not work out. iran became a nightmare for him. after losing reelection, he gets the peace prize. >> ronald reagan. >> um, i have heard him theribed by journalists as captain of the ship of state. he knew where he wanted the course to be. going to worry about how the engine ran down below. he had his eyes on the horizon. >> george herbert walker bush. >> kinder and gentler. thousand points of light. >> this is a man who took us to war. >> he took us to war and out of war. he did not notice when the economy got worse and worse. he seemed incapable of working without greenspan at the fed and his own treasury secretary, nick brady. he want to keep the united states recession from hitting. and, his reelection campaign, i did not recognize him. he was harsher and more shrill. >> bill clinton. i want to say this correctly -- he has a compelling posonality, in

former president jimmy carter tried to normalize relations with cuba in the 1970s.sked him why it took so long. >> cuba at that time would not desist in trying to subbetter governments in this hemisphere towards communism, he sent troops to africa, including ethiopia, and those are thaingss that hindered full recognition. we took as much of a step as we can and that's when we established intersections both in havana and washington. they have been open under all successive presidents since that time. >> president carter you traveled to owner cuba in 2011 and you spoke to fidel castro and his brother raul. >> they made the proposition then that is basically accepted now, and that is that the three cuban priz centers in florida would be -- prisoners in florida would be released, that alan would be released and i met with him when he was down there in prison then and the sanctions would be lifted. so i think this has been a potential realization for a long time. and i'm very glad that president obama finally decided to do it on his own initiative. >> does this give legi

the superfund bill passed congress and jimmy carter signed it but the hazardous waste was the big deal that was neglected. so with toms river the advent of superfund was part of the reason why people started to get more concerned about the plant. but people started to keep track of the illnesses. that is the heart of the book to trace that process a people becoming concerned. there's a lot of illness especially children, especially can -- cancer and the mystery is why was there and an unusual amount of childhood cancer and scientifically how to make about the process to connect the environmental exposure. >> host: is there a connection or is a circumstantial? >> so with epidemiology over space and time is that it is inherently that it can never tell a with certainty but it is always about likelihood. that whole idea to interpret the patterns is this likely to be a coincidence or some connection between the environmental problems and the unusual amount of cancer? and the conclusion ultimately that is complex was that yes scientifically the analysis was finally done. >> host: you talk ab

is in fact, in some ways he not far left compared to jimmy carter. nd he has also faced the which is extraordinarily difficult compared to what carter faced. had a difficult situation when he had a democratic majority. i actually think the relationship is a little different. i think carter did start a path that democrats to move to the center. were they started to abandon some of the orthodoxies oof the new deal. but i think, generally, president obama has fit within than the ework, rather parting from what carter did. money conclude with at a national security. i think the record is clear, president obama hhas not been far left. just the opposite. he really has maintained many the key policies from the bush era on counterterrorism. sometimes for political reasons, but sometimes because in a very f, believes aggressive, muscular national security state. that is not far left. post i want to ask you about a carter -- ashton carter. fourth d be his secretary of defense. what is his nomination tell us who his president chooses to surround himself with in

>> well, there's some elements of jimmy carter in president obama but with the failures had foreign policyes. it was very divisive and similar to what's going on in cuba tonight. meaning kind of a realignment of the hemisphere but for two term president, it's been rocky. eisenhower gets high marks, bill clinton looks better but when clinton was leaving office, nobody thought clinton was a genius at foreign affairs. al gore on a stage with him but the verdict is out. to judge on the middle east is tough in the age of terror because it's always going to be dysfunctional over there. >> and one of the big criticisms i hear though from global lead rs i talk to is he's a president who hasn't been present in letting him know it's there to support him. not saying you'll have troops available but the knowing he's there, that soft power has been lacking. >> i think that's right. i think there's been -- i think he's a, you know, a very hesitant commander in chief and very deliberative. at some points, it's good. sometimes it's not. he's also a commander in chief who has been highly criticized by a lo

you cannot blame barack obama unless you want to blame every president going back to jimmy carter. >>here are things -- the luck of confidence in washington, things that affect people's confidence been -- business spending and investment and what is the president's theory based on the economy? what policies will he pursue? it would be great if he could get this higher. but the problem -- he is running out of time to put in place the fundamentals -- not just long-term, but medium-term. >> the president ends his term in office with 3.9%, people will be happy. >> they may be skeptical, particularly with consumer spending the way it is right now. >> [indiscernible] make a personal commitment to doing that. ok, the staff member who wrote a facebook post criticizing the obamas' daughters at the turkey pardoning ceremony last week has resigned. president's children have been considered off-limits for several consecutive presidencies. people have largely laid off of his daughters, but what happened to this woman, is this the exception that proves the rule? or does this alternately saying? >>

he called this decision absurd and compared the president and said he was worse than jimmy carter. here is what your colleague, the senator, said. >> i'm not in favor of the way this release was acquired t set as dangerous precedent. puts a price on every american abroad. governments know if they take an american hostage they can get very significant concessions from the united states. >> senator, there is no doubt nor generations the cuban government has been enemy of america. they imprisoned aisle land population there. they denied freedoms. political prisoners, murdered opponents, brothers of the rescue plane. on list of state department countries that sponsor terrorism. that is like iran and north korea. senator, why in the world would we open an embassy and have full diplomatic relations with a country that sponsors terrorism? >> we have taking steps today to normalize relations. i think it is long overdue. it is absolutely clear the only thing that the embargo has done is really hurt the cuban people. it hasn't impacted the government in any significant way. there are serious

he was 7 years old during camp david when jimmy carter, the guy he said wasn't a good negotiator, broughtjor strategic enemy, egypt, and forced a permanent peace treaty between the two of them. match that, marco. just do something like that in your lifetime. let's talk about this interesting fight on the right. we grew up with the idea, we all did, that the republican party was the hawkish party, anti-communist, anti-everything, anti-everybody, let's go to war. and now you see an interesting intra-mural battle where you see rubio carrying the traditional baggage of the hawks. but then you see rand paul, who's got to be the most spontaneous, and i have to say scrambling arguer i've ever seen. he doesn't say in the pocket. he's scrambling like rg3. he's always got something. >> you know, it's an epic battle between conservatives and libertarians -- >> it's epic, but it's new? >> it's fairly fresh. it's been simmering for some time, but coming out before the 2016 cycle and rand paul is playing on that and he's also playing on the fact that this is marco rubio's token cuban kid moment. hey, i

. >> a at with the notion that jimmy carter ran to a knowledge of problem with the sunset laws to justify all over again. in today's said we have to make a case. had nothing resembles the of results but the political forces that work but with the political opposition those who were there day and night but not one subsidy which is why you need to go mackerel. >> i thank you are right how dangerously attractive enough for compassion if not then with the conservative and some with george bush's signature framework cannot in 1999 and 2000 was fleshed out extremely well in theory. so to this day we know what it was supposed to be. and there are good ideas there. the best idea for conservatism is to recognize the fashion from what you do but to be with the audience of compassion. but if george bush's running for president but especially a the conservatives to entrust the government to bring about greater discipline self-respect is dangerous but it is the need for eggcrate social revolution but it never should have been the political transformation. >> to what degree. >> why do ask a question if

president jimmy carter called decision to restore ties with cuba wise and courageous. tried during his administration to normalize relations with havana and worked to free alan gross. the former president poke to cnn's anderson cooper about u.s./cuban relations over the phone. >> i hope that congress will go ahead and remove the embargo or the sanctions because that doesn't hurt the castro brothers. it just hurts the people, about 11 million of them. it is a good move and i think it will be a major step forward to bring about more freedom and more democracy and more respect for human rights. >> critics says awe know that if it alleviates the economic pressure against the regime, though, that in effect helps the cuban people, that does help the dictatorship. it would benefit the regime, no? >> in a country where we impose sanctions it's almost impossible to imagine the dictators or their immediate staff or top will suffer economically. they've got all they want. i've been to the home of raul castro and fidel castro the last few years and they're not suffering at all but

jimmy carter went into that paying believing it was getting us into another vietnam war. he did not want to do it but you did it for political reasons. he wanted to get those people out. critics argue concern that so few of our political leaders have military experience -- >> are you concerned that so few of our political leaders have military experience? chris senator john mccain was on news hour earlier this week and he was asked a question similar to that, making the point that many of the new people going into the senate and house, have no military experience. and many of them have not traveled out of the united states. as senator mccain said, they had limited international exposure. a very diplomatic way of putting it. but the senator added very quickly that he did not believe that a president had to have -- you believe you could learn quickly enough what the issues encounterny military and then you have to have something within you that has to what youhat -- with were composed of. characterstrength of to know that you were doing the right thing. did not think he rea

in 2007, he presented the nation institute's ron ridenhour award to president jimmy carter.in his introduction, he spoke about striving for change. >> in this endeavor, there is no guarantee of victory, but there is a choice. one either collaborates with the enemy with whatever is, with whatever is miserable or inhumane, with whatever is unjust, with whatever demeans the life of any human being even those we call our enemies or one joins the resistance and insist upon being among those who strive to diminish the store of insult and agony of the world. >> rabbi leonard beerman died last wednesday in los angeles from congestive heart failure. he was 93 years old. and those are some of the headlines, this is democracy now, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. for our last report of 2014. pope francis is set to make history by issuing the first-ever comprehensive vatican teachings on climate change. in an effort to urge catholics worldwide to take climate action, the pope will issue a rare papal letter -- or encyclical -- on climate change and human ecolo

marco rubio called him the worst negotiator since jimmy carter. how is this going to go when he gets back from his trip. >> a lot of the stuff he does on his own, he doesn't have to do much to defend. if republicans use their control of congress to try to pass spending bills or other must pass bills that chip away at those things, he can credibly threat ton veto those. we know the republicans are ahead of 2016. they to want avoid initiating crisis like they did for the first two years of their house majority. so, i think the thins he's done, cuba, immigration, climate change, those are basically secure and will be secure unless a republican wins the white house in 2016. the question is whether republicans are going to be willing or able or want to put those disagreements aside and, you know, put, you know, small points on the board. make some small ball deals with obama in the way he suggested during the press conference, that he didn't buy just because he's done all those things that republicans can't work with him to do other things that he want

jimmy carter never wanted to use force, never, never. he said when he first went into , he said the one thing i will not do is send american forces to war. nixon did that, johnson did that. i am not going to do that. and then the hostage crisis happened, and he had to do something. he did not know quite what to do. the argument at the white house and the pentagon was very much, if you are going to use military force, on the one side, use enough military force to accomplish your goal. if the goal is to go in there to liberate the hostages, great. will there be people killed in the effort? yes. at which carter turned to the point generals and said, you did not hear me, generals, i do not want anybody killed. at which point the two kernels colonels who were in charge of operation, the junior colonel said, did you hear what the president said? we cannot use force at all. he said do not listen to him. when we get out there we will do , what we have to do. they went with a presidential order to use no force, but determined if they had to they

schoumacher: with industry and jobs on the line, pressure mounted on president jimmy carter.ricans deserve protection from predatory pricing practices from abroad, but congressman dingell might lead congress to pass outright quotas, which could wreck the complex and delicate framework of world trade. as the crisis reached its peak, carter turned to one of the country's experts on international trade and finance, deputy treasury secretary anthony solomon. solomon's solution -- the trigger price mechanism. use the japanese production price as the trigger for starting dumping investigations. everybody in the world accepted the fact that japanese cost production were the lowest in the world. and therefore, if you sold below that, then there was good grounds for suspicion that you were dumping, you were not covering your cost of production, which was the definition under the law. the idea was to meet their legitimate complaint about dumping in a way that would be less disruptive of imports that would be of some help to the steel industry, and at the same time maintain price compet
