no president since jimmy carter said things he said from the oval office. so, we've gotten used to a level of diction and feel good rhetoric that is part o of the cynicism of the public so start with telling the truth and part of that means acknowledging where the public is, where a large part of it is. we are such a divided country that it will visit eight with maybe 55% of americans but i think 40 or 45% might be utterly appalled and so right away, that new democratic president is going to have a major partisan battle on his or her hand so that is just the nature of the politics. >> i think in the phrase the right way by the right people -- we are better than this. >> you've always been more optimistic than me. but i would say to even get to the position the president can deliver a wonderful message, that president would have to acknowledge what the stakes they've paid the price for and then to be able to call americans to a better and higher vision. >> briefly because we are about to run out of time, this is the 21st century and the president needs to un

jimmy carter would feel the effects of that ambition. as historians have emphasized, social politics is large as well. carter supported people's rights and women's rights. all evangelicals, by 1970 nine had come to see jimmy carter as anything but evangelical. independent oil men were among those who led the fight of conservativism. it was up to other wildcaters to bankroll the cause. hunt had the crusade for christ, which proposed a one billion venture to sponsor christian apologist, whose 1979 manifesto sparked evangelicals antiabortion crusade. in hish triggered hunt rage more than carter's energy politics. the president supported the e.r.a. and abortion rights. but carter's crisis of confidence was equally damming in their eyes. carter do moaned a motion's height energy of conservative conservation. the attack on over the course of the next year ronald reagan inflamed their anger with his hard quest for the presidency. running on the slogan lets make america great again he won the hearts and minds of the american oil patch. when he an

jimmy carter would feel the effects of that ambition. to be sure, and as historians have emphasized, social politics looms large as well. carter supported the equal rights amendment and women's rights. they all wrangled evangelicals, who by 1979 had come to see jimmy carter as anything but evangelical. independent oil men were among those who led the fight of -- for social conservativism. with jay howard pew now deceased, it was up to other wildcaters to bankroll the cause. one of the biggest boosters was .unt's son the junior hunt had the crusade for christ, which proposed a one billion venture to proselytize youth, and sponsor a christian apologist, whose 1979 manifesto sparked evangelicals' antiabortion crusade. but not much triggered hunt in his rage more than carter's energy politics. the president's support of the e.r.a. and abortion rights infuriated them. but carter's crisis of confidence speech was equally damming in their eyes. carter bemoaned the nation's high energy consumption. the attack on oil in moralistic terms of was in

it's a privilege to be here at the jimmy carter presidential library. i have several anecdotes about president carter because i was humane law enforcement officer in washington, dc when he was president. and there was a time, for example, when the wild turkey bourbon company decided to toss a real wild turkey of the white house rails, and he landed in a tree, and my job was to good out and persuade the secret service that he was no threat to the president. president didn't have to worry about this bird and they should leave him in peace and not shoot him. and so about two days later, the bird flew off across the potomac and went to live happily ever after on roosevelt island. the mow reality temperature concerned president carter's middle east peace initiative. one christmas, a long time ago, i traveled to bethlehem in palestine where jimmy carter's envoy and i were both giving talks at the international conference on nonviolence. so the very first night there was a banquet, and there were representatives from all over the world who were there to talk ab

. >> jimmy carter? guy: he is one of my heroes so i would be very happy to have him have a speaking spot at the convention. >> you talk about lessons learned. hillary's campaign do with bernie sanders that was not done --? >> i think one of the things is that joe biden and bernie sanders actually have a good working relationship. i think that will be helpful in the process. i think you will see the biden campaign do a lot of proactive outreach not just to bernie sanders and his campaign, i think they will be intentional about that. there is more time. it was smart to move the convention up because it frees up general election money. it gives us more time to heal wounds, to address concerns. i think you will see organizations like ours. the most prominent democrat in the country has still set this one out. his proper role to get involved in the election? guy: not yet. the primary calendar is going to move pretty quickly. there is plenty of time for barack obama to get involved. there is no better surroga

jimmy carter, despite the nobel prize, did not love black folks while he was president. so the convergence between republican racism and democratic party racism started in the 1960's and 1970's. we only have this idea of a moral, reparative black citizenship that there was a consensus around for several years, because of the crises occurring in the 1960's. i would argue maybe 1963 to 1968. at one of the great tragedies of that time is the assassination of martin luther king jr., because as long as martin luther king jr. was alive, you had a symbol globally who was recognized as a symbol of that claim of moral, reparative black citizenship. so what is interesting when we think about black power at black history, is that walters recognizes the 1970's that american politics has shifted toward neoliberalism. the rhetoric of jimmy carter is the rhetoric of bill clinton, and ron walters argues there is a strain of that rhetoric that continues in barack obama, and he pushes back against that even as the black leadership unapologetically embraces the obama administration. so whe

in 1980 jimmy carter lost the presidency after a very very tough and again fractured. campaign and convention with ted kennedy same thing for george bush sr you go on and on about these examples so the fracture is the big is the big problem the commitment that the sanders people have are so particular to him but i think unless this is handled the extremely diplomatically that's where the nominee of the nominee is is joe biden which is what the establishment wants then they need to be very gingerly about how they handle sanders is obviously his is his last campaign he has he has a movement within the democratic party he's not just a regular democrat doesn't even consider himself a democrats he has a movement that's how that movement is is treated that ultimately will decide what happens in november in terms of their degree of participation and so jennifer how do you think the democrats can handle then he sanders and his supporters. well one of the challenges here is you know we were talking earlier about mike bloomberg and noting that one of his problems is you know i t

jimmy carter abandoned the black community. jimmy carter with the nobel prize did not love black folks. while he was president of the united states. so the convergence between republican racism and democratic party racism started in the 1960s and '80s, right, so we only have this idea of a moral reparative black citizenship that there's a consensus around for several years because of the crises are occurring in the 1960s, 1963 to '68. one of the great tragedies is the as nation of martin luther king jr. what's interesting for ron walters and us when we think about civil rights and black power as students of black politics and black history is that he recognizes that by the 1970s that american politics has shifted towards neo-liberalism. in the 1980s, the rhetoric of jimmy carter is the rhetoric of bill clinton and what ron waltlers argue is that there's a strain of that rhetoric that continues in barack obama, and he pushes back against that even as black leadership and the black community fulsomely, unapologetically embraced t

that summer of 1977, the congress introduced, with the democratic party jimmy carter nine office, the bill. the labor reform act and it quickly passed the house. the past the house by october 1977. what was the bill being pushed through congress for? by 1977 it was becoming increasingly clear to people who supported the union's, that the wagner act and the national labor reunion act -- national labor union act no longer existed. they found no penalty in engaging in unfair labor practices. the number of charges that employers -- that were brought against employers for engaging in those practices were skyrocketing, of 400% between 1960 and 1980. the number of workers who were fired trying to form unions, up 300%. those who had to be reinstated and given back pay because it was proven the company illegally paid them, up 500%. the whole industry emerged of labor consultants who advised companies on how to pursue these policies, went to fire people. how to appeal it in the courts. how to get around the law. the bill was supposed to fix all that. it got to the house and ran into a brick wal

your father endorsed jimmy carter.t that point after the 1978 election, he was term limited once more, and his third marriage was coming to an end. you write that this is where you think his heart really began to change. what was happening? ms. kennedy: i think that -- i think his change started when he got shot. and then it just slowly just started changing. he was -- he was just a -- in his heart, i knew him well, and i could see it in his eyes. when the congresswoman came to visit him in the hospital when she came, and ethel kennedy also came, i saw something in his eyes that were different. and through the years after that, i could just see a change in him. it was slow and it was beautiful to watch. his personality was changing. and he was becoming the man i knew, and the father i knew in 1958. and the last two years of his life, he would have mark and i come over late at night, he wanted to talk. and he would talk about how wrong he was about race and segregation. he did most of the talking, and he would talk arou

they had a democratic president who said he would sign it, juny carte jimmy carter. they couldn't get 60 votes. and it died. there have been several attempts since then. they have all failed. in the middle of this period of post-war boom that lifted so many americans by the mid '70s, something was happening. something disturbing. that led to the events in atlanta, to the shutdown in youngstown, that led to the bottling up of any possibility of being able to modernize the labor law that was already by then 40 years old and growing increasingly anacronistic. american was entering a new period. i want to talk about two aspects of this period. one is what started to happen to the economy. as all of this was occurring. because the country started to go into a rapid economic reorganization. this was just a set of factors. i would say five big things came together in the period between 1968 and '88 to change everything for workers. a fateful convergence, i would call it. the first is what happened to oil and gas prices and how that led to a word that nobody had ever heard o

jimmy carter in 1976 had back on the idea of the need for a chief of staff, and wanted to try to run things a little bit differently. ultimately, that did not work out so well for him. he used more of a routine chief of staff model. bill clinton is the first democrat elected president other than jimmy carter, all the way back to lbj. the chief of staff model that eisenhower had used so well, and reagan had mastered, was just not quite in the dna of the tookratic party would it the white house in 1992. embarrassments, some of them driven by disorganization, eventually prompted clinton to change his mind and to start to embrace the strong form chief of staff model. that is what has endured through today for both parties, republicans and democrats. again with pressure donald trump being interestingly wary of the strong chief of staff model. >> before we get to some of the political defeats of his first two years in office, let's talk about some early policy victories for bill clinton in those first two years. >> nafta. the signing of nafta viewed >> -- the signing of nafta. >> that is r

in every single crisis we have had that i have beenq around, going back to jimmy carter and the hostagesis, but that old expression, the proof is going to be in eating the pudding. what's it going to look like? i hopexd we're in a situation going intoko the fall where th is under control, where we have done all the right things and things are beginning to move and the president is listening to the scientists and stopping the personale1u attacks on people disagree with him, and let's get away from the childishness of this and focus oásnblp the pro. >> you feel a little bit frustrated and powerless right now? >> no, you know, it's interesting. we have ajf e1makeshift studio in my basement, i guess like you're doing it now as well, but the point is that i was surprised toe1 find out just th events we didxd this past week, mean, beginning last monday over 20e1 million people have viewed them and listened. so you know,e1 i guess it's jusa different way of learning how to communicate with people and whar you'rexd concerned about and wh you would do if you were in the president's situation.

jimmy carter and others, george w.ush, when there's a rally to the flag effect after the beginning of a crisis, even if the president hadn't done a very good job leading up to the crisis or didn't do a good job in managing the crisis. think of jimmy carter. he still got a big bump for a while, but it faded. it feels to me like it the beginning to fade. i think these press conferences, they helped him for a while. but i think voters think, come on, this is serious. this is really affecting everyone. obviously i'm sitting here talking to you on skype. thank god i'm fine and thank god you're fine, and so we have nothing to complain about, but so many people are going through difficult circumstances medically and economically, and everyone is affected, and they look up and they say, is this really the leadership we have? so i think the base will be there. the base is with him. but i actually think the rally to the flag kind of sentiment may be fading a bit, and reality may be hitting. >> well, for now at least, this is us.

jimmy carter sets in motion a process that transforms the nature of the judicial nominating process, trump may be sitting things in motion. we don't know where it might end up. >> we need to turn to questions. we have seen new presidents who react to the excesses of the prior president or the norm entrepreneurship, it is not completely clear. we want to talk about the impact of impeachment, we will open up to questions from the audience, and wait for the microphone to come around. you need to ask questions of the microphone right here. wait until you get to the microphone. please keep your questions relatively brief. so we have many of them. not on. >> i will break the ice. we had erosions of norms, 54% odds that donald trump will be reelected. whether it is in his person, how serious a threat is it to the republic? demagoguery, how serious is this one. >> it depends on what happens. i'm less concerned about the specifics that future presidents might make in the oath and the notion of civic issue. the presidency is applicable institution that can accommodate quite a bit and we can po

pete buttigieg met with former president jimmy carter, who seemed to make a candid slip about the formeror's chances. >> he doesn't know what he's going to do after south carolina. >> reporter: former new york city mayor mike bloomberg will be on the ballot for the first time since the contest began. >> have i been in 27 state, 67 cities in the last ten weeks, and we'll see what happens. >> reporter: he faced an icy reception at the selma service as some parishioners turned their backs in protest. bloomberg has spent about half a billion dollars advertising in super tuesday states. tonight he is taking out two three-minute ads to deliver an address in primetime. errol? >> all right, nicokole killion, thank you. looking ahead to super tuesday, anthony, what does senator sanders and vice president biden's strengths? >> errol, let's start with what we saw in south carolina. for vice president biden we saw a very strong performance among african american voters that is a key strength for him. he is going to try to parlay that across these super tuesday states. by comparison, bernie sanders,

and jimmy carter is the incumbent. t the southern democrats ted kennedy was challenging carter and they thought they will help carter by having the early primaries in the states and it did help carter. peter: march 8, 1988. 21 states held primaries and mostly in the south. washington and hawaii as well. massachusetts. was it decisive in 1988? carl: it was decisive, but it backfired. it did not happen the way they want it to happen. these southern party chairman on the democratic side in 1980, they looked at 1984 where walter mondale carried one state. that was the first campaign i covered. he went into georgia and the governor would not be seen with him. so the southern democrats said we need a more moderate person. we are going to have this super, super tuesday. other states said maybe we should go that day as well? the idea is, you're going to not get a guy like michael to michael dukakis. but you got michael dukakis so how did that happen? in my view that there was wrong -- the theory was wrong to begin with. in 1984

for joe biden because coming from his basement is a lot harder to do. >> you know, carol lee, jimmy carteran a rose garden strategy. it was known at the time. william mckinley ran a front court strategy back in 1896. while joe biden is like the mckinley campaign in '96. donald trump like carter here. everybody running their own front porch campaign with the rest of the public watching. >> yeah, i mean, chuck, the part of the president's problem, though, is that his whole campaign argument that the economy was humming, was doing really well, just evaporated almost overnight. i spoke with people around the president this past week who said that it's almost as if the first three years just don't even matter. everything that happened then just won't matter because it all comes down to how he responds to this. and one of the challenges that they're having right now is you have a president who hasn't really figured out what kind of leader he wants to be. does he want to be the war-time president or does he want to be donald trump. we saw a lot of donald trump in the last couple days in terms of

nig the other night, but pete buttigieg after traveling down to plains, georgia, to meet up with jimmy carter and then attending selma events around the anniversary of bloody sunday, he came back here to south bend, indiana, his home where he served as mayor he spoke just across the way, across st. joseph's river last night to locals announcing the end of his campaign. take a listen. >> i will no longer seek to be the 2020 democratic nominee for president, but i will do everything in my power to ensure that we have a new democratic president come january >> reporter: pete buttigieg exchanged phone calls last night, we should sark and left voice maehls with one another with joe biden over consolidating support between the two. of course, tomorrow is super tuesday. 14 states will be having their say through this primary process. frances? >> another pivotal moment we're finding in this race vaughn, thank you. >>> north korea launches its first weapons test of 2020 according to the south korean military, north korea fired two unidentified projectiles off the east coast it's the country's first mi

barack obama carried the state in 2008 and jimmy carter in 1976. been a republican strong hold dating all the way back to linden johnson. but times are changing as chip reed reports from charlotte. >> reporter: north carolina is one of the fastest growing states in the country and most of tha happengouring in here tend to be younger and more diverse. that has democrats feeling pretty hopeful. p>>> offices like this one reflect the cng north carolina. founded ten years ago in the basement of an abandoned cigarette factory, american underground now has five locations with a mission to help new businesses take off. >> this is the bull pen, which is really the launch spot. >> reporter: molly grew up here in durham and now manages this campus for start-ups. >>> would it be accurate to call this area a magnet for young high-tech oriented people? >> absolutely. >> reporter: and was it that way when you were growing up? >> not from what i remember. >> reporter: american underground is part of statewide growth that's seen nearly 300,000 jobs created and mor

be happy for jimmy carter to have a speaking spot at the convention. >> what are the lessons from the clinton campaign? what didn't they do with bernie sanders that you think joe biden should do in 2020? , if bernie this time sanders drops out and joe biden is the nominee. guy: one of the things that joe biden and bernie sanders have is a good working relationship. i think that will be helpful in the process. bidenll see the joe campaign do a lot of proactive outreach, not just a bernie sanders in his campaign, but his supporters. i also think going back to the convention, there is more time. he was really -- it was really smart of the dnc to move the convention up. it frees up general election money. he gives us more time to heal wounds and address concerns and consolidate and mobilize a party moving forward. i think you'll see organizations like joe biden continue to do that type of outreach. president barack obama, when is the proper moment for him to get in and what is his role in the selection? guy: not yet. we still have elections on tuesday, we had debates coming up. the primar

bill clinton is the first democrat elected president other than jimmy carter, all the way back to lbj. model thatf staff they use so well. but reagan mastered was just not quite in the dna of the democratic party when they took the white house in 1992. the secrets of embarrassments driven by disorganization eventually prompted lindsay to change his mind. desperate 20 clinton to change his mind. --prompted clinton to change his mind. under pressure again with donald wherebeing interestingly the strong chief of staff model. we get to some of the political defeats of his first two years in office, let's talk victories inst those first two years. >> nafta. from the readings i got was that, al gore went on larry king and debated ross perot. the arguments they were having got more support from the public. going back to that new democrat idea that he had of free markets, which goes traditionally against democrats like lyndon b. johnson and fdr. the nafta victory was made with great republik and support and significant democratic opposition. clinton pursued it and it was an early victory for

we had national emergencies that were enacted when jimmy carter was president and george w. bush was president that are still in effect today. shouldn't there be a mechanism to re-look at these and update them in this ever-changing world? we have ceded our power in terms of how taxpayer dollars are spent back in our communities. you know, we rely too much on the administration, whoever that may be, to make those decisions. i think we are closest to our own districts and constituencies to know what works best in a row -- in our own areas. there is another area where i think we need to reassert our authority. again, this is not about power for the sake of grabbing more power for the house of representatives, for the congress, this is about making sure that we are covering the people we represent. again, i think in the house of representatives, we are the most direct link to the people of the country. >> let me turn to billy hauser, bloomberg news. >> a lot of these executive actions can be voted against in congress. but the veto was always there. that seems to be one of the ma

the peach and preach approach by the american administrations throughout the years starting with jimmy carter in the late 1970 s. that the united states can tell the world where there are human rights violations and not and what's the trend and spot of that the united states has. used various in order to describe israel the west bank and the gaza strip you can. look it up throughout the years it has changed now as you said donald trump has recognized jerusalem without specifying its borders as israel's capital he actually left a blank space for east jerusalem and in his peace plan which was unveiled recently he indicated that the palestinians to have the capital somewhere in the neighborhood not necessarily where paula travelled to shoot her package but outside now the residence off jerusalem the palestinian residents could claim israeli citizenship and in that case they could vote in the elections to the knesset and flip the government from netanyahu to his adversaries but they choose not to do it they choose to remain loyal followers teens and this is where they clash with both the netanyah

when jimmy carter became president he had 7000 nuclear weapons in western europe some of them were short range. some more mines summer have a ten or a megaton. george h.w. bush unilaterally got rid of a lot of those that were most relieved were military officers who consider them not needed and was a security nightmare because they didn't want nuclear weapons so for political reasons there was 180 left so it is interesting when obama became president one of the first big speeches he talked about reducing nuclear weapons and there was an them acid or to nato who said that unilaterally cut that number by half it would make a good signal to everybody we are trying to reduce the role but this was rejected by the national security council including hillary clinton aside from the fact george h.w. bush requested ideals and to reciprocate so we still have 50 of these things and turkey is less and less of an ally these days. and to be locked up pretty well just because you have a bomb doesn't mean you can use it. so i bet some people from the obama days so there were 50 bombs out of turkey. >> as

when jimmy cartere became president 700,000 nuclear weapons in europe and some of them are short range and some of them were half a kiloton george h. w. bush unilaterally got rid of a lot of these weapons and most were military officers. they were not allowed to talk because they didn't want to nuclear weapons it's interesting when obama became president, one of the first big speakers talked about reducing the nuclear weapons and national security policies and there was an ambassador to nato ato the time this is rejected by the national security council including secretary of state hillary clinton so you don't do the unilateral and requested yelts yeltsin. so we still have 50 of these things which can be loaded onto the bombers in turkey and its placenta plus an ally of these days and somebody did go off to check out the security and they seemed to be locked up pretty well just because it takes possession doesn't mean that you can use it but there are people all over the world. it was too bad we didn't take those bombs out of turkey. i was looking at the big picture $1.3 trillion a yea

bill clinton is the first democrat elected president other than jimmy carter, all the way back to lbj. the chief of staff model that eisenhower had used so well. really mastered it. it was not quite in the dna of the democratic party when they took the white house in 1992. a sequence of embarrassments, some driven by disorganization, eventually prompted prompted clinton to change his mind and start to embrace the strong form chief of staff model and that his what has endured all the way foroday for both parties republicans and democrats, though it is under pressure again with donald trump. >> before we get to some of the political defeats of his first two years in office, let's talk about some early policy victories for bill clinton in those first two years. >> nafta. >> that is right. >> during the readings, what i got was al gore went on larry king and debated ross perot. the arguments they were having got more support from the public. going back to that new democrat idea that he had of free markets, which goes traditionally against democrats like lyndon b. johnson and fdr. washe na

howie: i've known chris matthews since he was speech writer for jimmy carter. anything that comes into his head without any filter. you never knew what he had -- he was going to say. he told me i aim for the chalk line as in tennis and i like when people have the little gasp and say i can't believe he said. the problem is there turns out to be a lot of i can't believe he says that. >> again, i think things he said were gross, not okay to talk to woman that way but there needs to be some nuance in the way we discuss issues. most women are strong enough to take comments like that. howie: kat tempf, thank you very much. >> thank you. howie: the plug was pulled excuse me after dylan called the move upsetting and her brother ronan farrell cut ties accusing publisher from hiding from him and walkout, difficult decision and i'm not defending the movie director, i don't know what happened 3 decades ago except that he was never charged. woody allen who recently lost a movie deal with amazon is radioactive. still to come corona virus coverage has for become a constant pr
