ronald reagan and jimmy carter.and in my opinion, reagan got the hostages back due to the fact that when he got elected, iran knew we were coming, and while we were there, 110 days, we were refueling with the "uss sek meant ohsacramento. and a tin can reaching across to each ship, the carrier and were run into by a liberian freighter, iran flagged liberian freighter, put a 90-foot gash down the side of our aircraft carrier and we continued at sea until relieved by the man who called earlier, and on the aircraft carrier out there and i really think -- it's bizarre, seems like, deja vu all over again with the hostages and weaknesses of obama and trump 2016 because we got to make america great again. >> you see donald trump as being strong in the way that you think ronald reagan was? >> caller: exactly. okay. kevin in lakeland, florida. at the time, kevin, you were in the navy. when you an officer? >> caller: no, ma'am. i was a petty officer, second class. boiler technician, worked in hell's below the water level on th

and the iranians, by all accounts, really hated president jimmy carter. i mean, they hated america generally but they particularly hated president carter. and they negotiated a deal to free the hostages that would go into effect the day that president carter left office. and so ronald reagan had his inauguration day. at 8:31 that morning the outgoing president jimmy carter advised the incoming president, ronald reagan, oh, by the way, the hostages are getting out today. and then ronald reagan was sworn in and in tehran the planes carrying the hostages took off. and at 2:00 in the morn that day the newly sworn-in president ronald reagan was able to make the announcement that at long last after 14 months those hostages were coming home. and then the first thing that he did as a former president, jimmy carter, who negotiated the release of the prisoners and who got it done as his last act as president, the first thing he did as a former president is that he flew to germany to greet the freed americans. and the crowd held signs that said "thanks, jimmy." he di

after noting the silence, jimmy carter spoke up again. on that day, he predicted, we will all sit here with long faces and realize we have been had." of course, within two weeks of making the decision that is exactly what happened. at first, for those two weeks it seemed like the worst was not going to happen and they expected a great response and the iranian response was mild and more diffused. they thought that it would get off free. and they ran into the islamic students following the line e of emon, a- line of the group of students who had been active during the revolution. they never expected that the offis that they would set would have the dimensions it did. they assumed they would be able to hold the embassy for 48 hours, maybe 72 hours, but after that they expected they would be evicted and they would use that 72 hours to make a point about the united states. their point was they thought the united states was preparing to reinstall the shah, which is why the shah went to the united states in the first place. the reason they felt

richard smith, the failure of this mission -- did it hurt jimmy carter's reelection? >> i think it did. a practical sense, it made it even more unlikely that the hostages would be released before election day in 1980. beyond that and perhaps even more significantly, i think it became a metaphor for a lot of people about the situation and come has often -- and has has often been said about a country. it is hard to imagine the degree to which this incident, tragic as it was, came to define american politics, even america's self-image during 1980. >> these are photos from the library and museum. fulton, texas, you are on. caller: good evening. i was one of the hostages in iran. did carter or didn't he come over to germany to see us guys when we got out? sir, let me ask you, what's your name? lee.: -- caller: gary i recall him being there. it was bedlam in those days. i think he came over and visited room.s personally in the some of us were there. some of us were having medical checks. host: let's go back to that photo from january 22, 1981, in west germany. yes, he did,

after all, jimmy carter was a great sunday school teacher, but look what happened to our nation withpresidency. sorry. >> it's an honor to be here, and especially on martin luther king day, we -- we broke the record. you know we had the record for about three or four years, the last time, and the first thing i said to jerry and becky when i got here, did we break the record? they said yes, you did. by quite a bit. so we'll dedicate that to martin luther king. a great man, and that's a little bit of an achievement. i will tell you. one of the people i'm running against, i won't use names because we don't want to insult anybody and this is really such nice, religious people. i love it. such great christians. i can't say bad. am i allowed to say bad in this room? no. okay. we're going to protect christianity. and i can say that. i don't have to be politically correct, or -- we're going to protect it. you know -- and i asked jerry and i asked some of the folks because i hear this is a major theme right here, but 2 corinthians, right? 2 corinthians 317 that's the whole ball game. where th

that was jimmy carter then. and here was the guy who orchestrated political history, one of the most modest guys i know but pat made history and that was a big deal and got fewer votes back then. do you think iowa is about to recapture its allure? what do you think, pat? >> i think it is very much so. i think when jimmy carter ran in '76, iowa caucus was not that important yet. mcgovern had done well against musk in 1972. >> this is pat caddell, then governor. you haven't changed. you're pretty much right on. >> oh be my god. look at that. you shouldn't do that. that's cruel, neil. >> you look great. >> i'll pay you back. >> i bet you will. >> the -- i was going to say the carter -- uncommitted, wasn't surprised that he got so many votes because of the way the caucus works, people don't have candidates, or whatever, it was a shocker that carter had come in first. we were able to parlay that into new hampshire. that was the first time it had really been parlayed into a new hampshire victory. what has happened sub

jimmy carter never do anything. reagan was the first president to actually instituted a policy to bring about desegregation. so, it was a tricky maneuver. it actually worked. the idea that he was racist is nonsense. there is no basis for that. republican line. walnut port, pennsylvania. mike, hello. all, wherest of picking apart these people. jesus said let he without sin cast the first stone. you know, until jesus runs on the ticket, we are always going to be voting for the lesser of two evils. isaiah, 700 years before the birth we celebrate today, he prophesied. he said fronts and child is born, a son is given. the government will be on his shoulders. he will be called wonderful counselor. prince of peace. there is a common thread among our presidents. the ones who were successful, let's look at lincoln. the same scripture that ronald reagan embraced. that is found in second chronicles. it's as if my people were called by my name and brain secret. .urn to money i will forgive their sins. .e will hear the land reag

and turned out the vote out for jimmy carter. as did as i recall the united autoworkers who is president and became the first ambassador to china. i am sure that there was some money expended in that campaign those supported groups. they were supporting jimmy carter because of his position which he in fact adopted. is that corrupt or is that the normal operation of democratic systems? it seems to me we have to distinguish the danger of a corrupt relationship from the normal dynamics of politics and with the presence of many the most effective treatment to try to preserve a healthy environment is disclosure which is why i think the supreme court has upheld the principle late:1, disclosure can be abused, it can be burdensome, it might be improper to some extent but as a general proposition that is going to be the constitutional and practical antidote to the fear of corruption. >> we have basically run out of time. i want to thank you both, good conversation, thank you all for attending. >> we have come to an end of our conference.

robie, i' m jimmy carter and i' m running for president of the united states' and i turned around quick and looked at him and i says ' jimmy who?' . adam you can pop in for a bite : and some meet & greet at any number of diners like lindy' s in keene where presidential politics is always on the menu. >> that' s what we' re here for. it' s where the politicians meet the real people. adam: you' ll need to march in a parade, or you can make one of your own. be sure to stop by a classroom or two. or a college campus. and don' t try too hard to impress us, that can very easily backfire >> oh no. adam next up the house party. : before you can shine on the national stage, you' ve got to do it in somebody' s living room. but these days it' s getting harder to maintain an intimate setting. >> we had ' em packed in, almost hanging from the rafters but not quite. adam if you' re going to hold a : town hall meeting, be prepared eventually it' s time to go big or go home. bring your famous friend and an overflow crowd of granite staters and hope they don' t all change their mind in the voting booth.

however, president obama is really just jimmy carter. >> this is jimmy carter stuff. what's going on now, we are back -- we are now back in the age of jimmy carter. okay? we are back in that age. remember the hostages, we couldn't get them back? so i look at it and i had it watching that today. lou: we'll have a lot more on donald trump and all of his rivals for the republican presidential nomination. and what mr. trump calls his noisy majority. stay with us. let's celebrate these moments... this woman... this cancer patient... christine... living her life... loving her family. moments made possible in part by the breakthrough science of advanced genomic testing. after christine exhausted the standard treatment options for her disease, doctors working with the center for advanced individual medicine at cancer treatmententers of america suggested advanced genomic testing. the test results revealed a finding that led to the use of a targeted therapy that was not considered for christine before. now, they're helping fight her cancer on another, deeper level... the geneti

you and jimmy carter reasoned you do well here, you get a lot of attention, notoriety here.e man who made jimmy carter popular. >> tim craft, who ran the state, was really great. >> don't ever share the compliment. throw blame. >> our strategy was simple, all of ours, we had to go -- we were a former southern governor, not even in office. no deep south official had been a nominee since the civil war in the democratic party. we needed to prove in the north we could do well and we needed to win new hampshire and going to iowa -- and that's why jimmy carter spent many months sleeping in people's homes. i mean literally. >> did he know they were sleeping in homes? >> he made his bed every morning and the whole bit. >> he was a farmer. he appealed to them. he finished second to none of the above. >> uncommitted. >> the bottom line, it put him on the map. >> it shocked everybody, helped new hampshire and that was what was important for obama. he needed to prove to the black voters in the south why he was important in the north. >> and that's why it has the importance. what's at st

actually helped reagan win in 1980 because of the fight ted kennedy and jimmy carter had.t is not quite, this is a very fractured party somehow has to come together once the fight between the establishment and these outsiders is finished. can they pull it back together. rubio is somebody who could do that. jon: lisa, let's go back and take a look at joe's earlier point. he says this might not be the year when the republican candidate should be looking for establishment support. what do you think about that? >> well, i think especially if you look at a race like the iowa caucuses, having the establishment support might not help marco rubio. right now ted cruz is incredibly well-positioned to win the iowa caucus but may help him in a state primary like new hampshire but right now things are incredibly fluid. we haven't even begun the nominating process. we're looking iowa caucus, new hampshire, south carolina, nevada caucus cull in february alone. with such a crowded primary field things will change next couple months. things will look dramatically different. we've seen indi

jimmy carter was a great sunday school teacher, but look how he did as president.epublicans who say -- the republicans in washington have betrayed them. they make promises. they make promises on social issues, they have been doing it for decades. they never seem to come through. i think you are the first candidate since ronald reagan to bring in new voters, bringing them across the aisle, bringing -- [cheers and applause] but we have got to get the republicans who made the promises to start honoring the promises. what are your thoughts on that? mr. trump: i spoke at liberty and it's an amazing place. what jerry and becky have done is absolutely incredible, taking over from their father. it is so beautiful and breaking the record was important. do you know who's record high broke? my record from four years ago. but you know the interesting every single candidate goes to liberty university. everybody. because it is an amazing place. it is a packed house. these are fantastic young people. i guess some people are not young, but amazing people. was such an honor for me

prime example of that is jimmy carter. he was a great sunday school teacher, but look what he did to our country as president. and so those are the kind of thins that remind me of my father and trump. and i think just the personal generosity. i noticed at the debate in charleston the other night, he was the only candidate who came down off the stage and greeted the crowd personally, posed for pictures, everybody else was too important, too busy, too tired. and that's the kind of thing that, you know, we've been promised as evangelicals and conservatives, so many promises have been made to us by career politicians over the last few decades. you know, i told the crowd this morning, the polls seem to indicate, the founding fathers believed that this country should be governed by citizen legislators who think the polls are starting to indicate that the american public want to see somebody who has succeeded in real life. >> yeah. >> not career politicians. and i think that's why he's surging. >> does that mean he got a bigger c

and if barack obama is so much worse than jimmy carter and we got ronald reagan after jimmy carter, thinkat a president ted cruz will be. so, i will say this. i will ask you to do what i have been doing for a year. and that is this. i consistent prayer, especially when i start my day is that god will raise up a leader whom he will use to restore the soul of america. i believe that man is ted cruz. i am going to ask you each day to offer that prayer, that god raises up a leader to restore america. and that he will energize you and us that we follow his guidance and go to caucus a week from monday and bring our friends and neighbors and let them know that the man you will see at this podium in a little while is that man. please do as i ask and as i will do. let us consistently stay on this every day, all the way through so that iowa can have allowed that we can send ted cruz to new hampshire and beyond. the springboard that iowa can be will send off the man that can be the one that restores the soul of america. god bless you all. [applause] >> thank you guys for giving us congressman king.

jimmy carter got the march on him in terms of delegates. giuliani decides to hold off and wait until florida. is there a consensus within the parties about the best way to a party's nomination in terms of when and where to enter and put your emphasis? mr. woolson: i think it all depends on where you stand. with a candidate like mike think it all depends on where you stand. with george bush, even with the assets he had, he waited until june -- i think it was early june when he made his first visit to iowa. his organization had been working for a long, long time raising money, doing all those sorts of things. in fact, we were on the ground doing work for him long before the announcement was made that he would get into the race. the candidates i have tended to work with have, either by necessity -- typically by known that they have to get into iowa early, and start building early. one of the things we have seen here in the past couple of inles -- the bush can see 2000, the inevitability that he would be the nominee. i think we have seen other

and that is that reagan's economic policies were the exact opposite not only in his predecessor jimmy carter, but of our current president. now, i know that sometimes people like to ignore the facts or reinvent the facts for political or ideological reasons , but facts are stubborn things and in this case i think the facts speak for themselves quite quick-- clearly. >> host: that's david in california. >> guest: the color has a good point, reagan inherited an economy that was a negative growth. unemployment was already at 7.5% and climbing. jobs were actually being eliminated from the economy because it was actually contracting. then, on top of that he also had , which economic textbooks and economists say is possible was a shrinking economy and inflation. usually when the economy contracts you go into a deflationary cycle, but we had rising prices and falling jobs, which economists would say is impossible and on top of that possibly high interest rates which were 18, 19, 21%, so you had double digit inflation, double digit interest rate and unemployment rising rapidly. reagan was in many wa

there were caucuses in 1972, but 1976 is really when -- >> jimmy carter had a theory, let's go up thereive in people's spare rooms and meet in church basements. he had these two white young guys with him. johnny apple caught on right away so he wrote about it, and then carter won, and all of a sudden it became the formula for success and it went on and on. you can challenge it little bit by saying carter is one of only a few people who won. ann: the most important thing a candidate can do is win. that's what jimmy carter showed. >> george bush came and spent a lot of time here and beat ronald reagan in iowa. al: what are some of your memorable moments of the scene here? >> i remember 1980 we were counting votes in the republican caucuses and george h.w. bush was ahead. some of the rural precincts were not in yet, and we stopped counting. [laughter] michael: my first caucus, i arrived in december and the caucuses were february. it was a steep learning curve. there had been a shortcut implemented before i got here that caused us to show that george bush was leading in that caucus. i had t

speaking from the white house, jimmy carter. president carter: the actions of iran have shocked the civilized world. for a government to applaud mob violence and terrorism, for a government actually to support and in effect participate in the taking and holding of hostages is unprecedented in human history. this violates not only the most fundamental precepts of international law, but the common ethic -- ethical and religious heritage of humanity. there is no recognized religious faith on earth which condones kidnapping. there is no recognized religious faith on earth which condones blackmail. there is certainly no religious faith on earth which condones the sustained abuse of innocent people. about deeply concerned the inhuman and degrading conditions imposed on the hostages. from every corner of the world, nations and people have voiced their strong repulsion -- revulsion and condemnation of iran and have joined us in calling for the release of the hostages. last night, a statement of the support was released and issued by the

that's what jimmy carter showed. george bush came and spent a be ronalde here and reagan in iowa.t are some of your memorable moments of the scene here? >> i remember 1980 we were counting votes in the republican caucuses and george h.w. bush was ahead. some of the rural precincts were not in yet, and we stopped counting. [laughter] michael: my first caucus, i arrived in december and the caucuses were february. it was a steep learning curve. there had been a shortcut implemented before i got here that caused us to show that george bush was leading in that caucus. i had to go to the editor and say, our poll is showing that george bush will win but i think bob dole will win. he said what will fix that, and i said money. in those days that was not the end of the conversation. all be looking for you 5:30 on saturday. opening days at 7:00, good tickets are still available.

jimmy carter was evangelical candidate. what this is about is the younger generation of voters, young energized obama faction of a party for whom there isn't a stigma to the word socialist. i was down at wake forest not long ago and talking to students and interesting they said they don't have a negative connotation to the idea of a socialist but all of them almost to a person said their parents do and grandparents definitely do. so their doubts about bernie sanders were rooted into fact that that label would make him unelectable. for hillary clinton it is signaling that she is just as progressive as bernie sanders on the issues that matter most to them and more progressive on things like guns. she is electable so she is never going to embrace that tite frl herself. >> this nomenclature fight. i know what i was doing yesterday when i asked her. we taught about it here. the average person watching this from the center right or center left what is wrong with the discussion? she says i'm progressive democrat, not a socialist.
