jimmy carter kicked that off. when a president office, you don't know yet. d not know even george w. bush would be influenced by carter's human rights policy. we did not know how a lot of things would work. to your point about would on the presidency contacts and we also need to understand the characters destiny and that the decency and honesty and accountability should help light our way forward. that we can have presidents of the united states that not only respect the constitution, keep us out of war, thomas jefferson under whom there were no shots fired in combat and also inspire us that we can do better than how we have done in the last four years. >> let's finish with one thing. jimmy carter is known for his post presidency work. habitats for humanity. finding out that it arose out of the assignment. i did not realize it was a local thing he had gotten involved with. we don't have a lot of time to talk about it. your book cover looks very nice for those that want to get an overview of it. he caused problems and some of his diplomacy to. what is your ove

so jimmy carter has led this almost novelistic life. it's a real american epic. was born on a farm where they had no running water, no electricity, essentially in the 19th century. so carter is coming this great distance and he runs this campaign from zero percent in the polls, gets to the presidency, has a lot of good luck as well as good timing because he was running after watergate as an ethical moral candidate. but he has good luck. then when he gets to the presidency, especially in the second half of his term, 1979 and '80, he's essentially swamped by events, including economic problems that were very serious and contributed in a major way to his not getting reelected. he did, though, appoint paul volcker, who raised interest rates way above 15%, which hurt carter when he was running for reelection. but eventually that harsh medicine ended inflation. so reagan got the credit and arguably got reelected in '84 for that. but it was carter's appointee who accomplished it, paul volcker. but just to go to the political problems, he could not unify the democratic p

ted sorensen is nominated by jimmy carter to be cia director. n was -- carter said he basically wanted to cut the budget of the cia, ray nagin, his campaign actually put out a position paper implying jimmy carter intended to prosecute cia officers to engage -- to engage in lawless activities. when carter becomes president come the cia is not excited. carter nominates an outsider who happens to be a close friend of the kennedy family and kennedy famously had his conflicts with the cia. ted sorensen is introduced to joe biden as the person he was going to kind of shepherd him through the confirmation process in front of the intelligence committee. biden says to ted sorensen, i am more enthusiasti about y than y other nominee in the carter -- emerging carter white house. joe biden starts talking with senate republicans who wanted to kill the ted sorensen nomination for a number of reasons. one, the cia did not want him there. he was a cia outsider. no one wanted ted sorensen. two, there was this whisper campaign that ted sorensen was a pacifist to r

in 1976, jimmy carter tapped mondale to be his running mate on the democratic presidential ticket. >>nd i'm proud and honored to be a part of this team. >> reporter: after carter's victory, mondale immediately beefed up the job of vice president, moving the vice president's office to the west wing of the white house. he started having weekly luncheons with the president. both traditions endure to this day. carter was defeated for re-election in 1980. four years later, mondale sought the top job for himself but he faced a popular president in ronald reagan who was running for re-election. >> mr. reagan will raise taxes, and so will i. he won't tell you, i just did. >> rteondalere defeats in u.s. historal >>onald reagan still has a chance, has a chance, for a historic 50-state sweep. >> reporter: president reagan beat mondale in 49 states leaving mondale with only the electoral votes from his home state of minnesota and washington, d.c. after that defeat, mondale moved back and forth between public and private sector, he served as ambassador to japan under president clinton. in 2002, he

biden will be in georgia today, among his first stop, he'll be going to planes, georgia to visit jimmy carterhe carter meeting is interesting because they talked the day before the inauguration on january 19. keep in mind that a then very young and first term senator joe biden was an early supporter of then-presidential candidate jimmy carter's uphill climb to the white house back in 1976, the rest of course is history. jimmy carter went on to become president of the united states back then. it was unimaginable, and that jimmy carter never forgot the loyalty shown to him by joe biden or joe biden, you know the loyalty shown to him in his career, but that mimics something similar we saw out of joe biden making a courtesy call to george w. bush, a day before his decision to pull out of afghanistan by 9/11. we're told that it was a short, respectful call, that president bush wasn't really keen on that idea, but that he did appreciate the call and the heads up, but this is something that's getting to be a pattern with president biden, what joe lieberman makes of it the former senator and vice pre

you find just how patient a man jimmy carter can be with some of those who are under him. it's the truth. >> okay. >> but carter was a trendsetter in allowing this to happen. he was president after all, right? >> that's exactly right. and he made this deal with carter and carter actually was impressed when mondale came down in the summer of 1976, but mondale, who he had thought of as this nice guy, was wondering how strong he was. very impressed that mondale came in and said, this is what i want. but you know, he had this odd attitude toward having been vice president. i knew him over the years, walter mondale, and i remember early on, this must have been 10 or 15 years, sent him an email saying, dear mr. vice president, he wrote back, please call me fritz. nobody wants to be called vice president. >> michael, you watch these clips that we've been playing this morning of walter mondale with ronald reagan in particular, and it's just such a snapshot of how different things were. if you watch that clip that we just showed in the kevin tibbles piece from the debate, where mon

right now president biden and the first lady are visiting former president jimmy carter and roslyn carter in georgia. today he's holding a drive-in rally where he will pitch the next steps of his president see, a vision that includes big help and big government for the middle class. martin, what are you hearing about the visit if anything so far? >> reporter: well, it's the big buzz of the town. that's for sure. you don't get a lot of excitement from plains, until you have two men on the top gathering, and president biden is selling his infrastructure and rebuilding plan to america, and he stops off in plains because the biden's and carters have a long history, and biden as a senator was behind the president, jimmy carter. and jimmy carter gets to be the one to make this emotional endorsement of joe biden to become president of the united states. what neither man could take into account would be the critical role of one of their home states, georgia, and it was the surprise victory state, of course, and on top of that two senate democratic victories that made all the difference in the sen

he had visited earlier today with former president jimmy carter and his wife, rosalyn. the outreach that he's had with former presidents continues. he talked on the phone to president george w. bush to pull out of afghanistan. the call was short and sweet but he appreciated the call. continuing that right now earlier with president jimmy carter, all of that after his joint address to congress last night. you heard a lot about that with martha. meantime, i want the idea of how he's going to explain to supporters and others how he hopes to keep this economic juggernaut that many supporters are claiming the u.s. economy and the markets are wanting it. i'm neil cavuto. you're watching "your world." peter doocy right now at the white house with the campaign to sell still more spending among a lot of doubters and not just republicans. peter? >> neil, republicans say they are skeptical the white house is going to be able to pay for this the way they say they want to pay for it. with increases in taxes only on the top sliver of top earners. >> whoever is the rich and paying the

for the republicans and probably attributed to jimmy carter winning for the democrats. in 1976, but paul laxalt served as the chairman of that campaign in 1976 and they kind of realized i think at that time that they had set the foundation for the upcoming election in 1980. they had they had established something. they had thrust ronald reagan into the national spotlight, which consequently through paul laxalt into the national spotlight as well. and they doubled down and in 1978 started planning for their next campaign, but i would say paul laxalt really is a giant of nevada politics. he's kind of a powerhouse of nevada politics. so paul axel had made the decision that he wanted to give his personal political papers to the university of nevada reno some of the first shipments of his papers started coming in 1983. and that includes scrapbooks that includes memorandum correspondence briefing books reports. anything that you would have in a political office you name it's going to be in those papers. so we're in the reading room now, but we're going to go into the work roo

as you recall jimmy carter took the ordinary rate up to 50% and took the capital gains rate to 50% and as you recall it was very tough on the market and very tough on the economy, my suspicion the things that are being executed by the biden administration will have the same impact and adverse impact on the economy as well as the stock market. maria: is there something that we should be doing now to get ahead of it? i know that you are very concerned about valuations, you have been a student of this for a long time, you are the former ceo of dlj, you been on wall street and seen various cycles, what are you most worried about right now? maria: i think we have a level of irrational exuberance. i think there is an overly optimistic stock market, a bubble if you will, right now the stocks are trailing 12 months s&p at 44 times earnings, that compares to an overall average in the past 17 times earnings and in a bear market eight, nine, ten times earnings. even if you have an extraordinary year in 21 which is probable because hopefully we won't have as much covid as we had in prior 2020. eve

walter mondale frets to his friends, was a force vice president under jimmy carter, from 77 to 81. he made his own run for president in 1984. he did not win that race. but he may have achieved his most lasting legacy in national politics for who we chose to be his own vice presidential nominee and 19. before he picked ferraro to be his first running mate. he was the first female on a major party ticket in u.s. history. again, they did not win that race and 84. reagan won a second term and the true landslide presidential election, mondale in ferraro won minnesota and d.c., reagan won the rest. it will be a long time before there was another woman on a major party presidential ticket in this country. but it did happen. geraldine ferraro died in 2011, she never lived to see the country's first woman vice president, but walter mondale did. and feel somehow fitting that one of the last people, vice president mondale reportedly spoke to before he died today, was his successor, vice president kamala harris. mondale's friend and former campaign staffer tells axios tonight that while he and

earlier, they met the oldest former living president, jimmy carter.day, biden addressed congress with what he called his "blueprint to build america," promising $1.8 trillion investment in jobs, infrastructure, and education. last year on the campaign trail, joe biden made many promises about what he would deliver in his early days in the white house. there are others which are compromised or even abandoned. alan fisher reports now on bidens broken promises. alan: they are the things people remember of campaigns -- >> i pledge to be a president who seeks not to divide, but unify. alan: the promises, the pledges, that thinks that make a difference. 100 days in, joe biden has failed to deliver in the few key areas. >> people forget there's not a lot of legislating that can happen from the presidential seat. alan: covid relief was always a priority. he promised $2000 check to eligible americans. that became $1400, at into the 600 delivered by trump. the death of jamal khashoggi provoked anger in then-candidate biden. he promised to hold saudi arabia resp

far outside of the years he served, the 12 years in the senate, then, of course, four years with jimmy carter as vice president, but he really did change that with carter's agreement, obviously. all power stems from the presidency. but what a partner. >> he said it so well, but it used to be, as you know, andrea and andy, the term powerful vice president used to be an oxymoron before carter and mondale. because you had somebody like john kennedy, who was always trying to cut lyndon johnson down to size so he wouldn't take as much power from the president as possible. even more so, johnson with hubert humphrey, who told walter mondale, his successor in the senate and his very close friend and protege in 1976, you know, if carter asked you to be vice president, you should do it. but you shouldn't do it unless you have a deal in advance with carter that you're going to have more power than any vice president's had before, automatic access to all meetings. you see the same paper flow. you will have an office in the west wing. the two of you will share a staff. and carter agreed to all of that, to

in 1976 mondale became a national figure when the democratic presidential nominee jimmy carter asked m to join the ticket as his running mate. the carter/mondale ticket lost the white house in 1980 to ronald reagan and george bush. in 1984 mondale beat senator gary hart and reverend jesse jackson to clinch the democratic presidential nomination. mondale's choice for a running mate rocked the election, new york congresswoman geraldine ferraro. the first woman on the ticket. a lead reagan reinforced after this memorable response at one debate when mondale questioned the republican's advanced age. >> i will not make age an issue of this campaign. i am not going to exploit for political purposes my opponent's youth and inexperience. [ laughter ] >> reagan won the election in a landslide. mondale served his country for more than 50 years. karen travers, abc news, washington. >> vice president kamala harris says mondale opened a new door by nominating a woman as his running mate. >>> turning to the pandemic, the cdc is investigating a handful of potentially severe side effects from the john

jimmy carter, as i spoke about before.my carter had a rough hundred days with the democratic congress and that persisted throughout his presidency. bill clinton had a rough hundred days. he nominated two attorney generals in a row that had the same tax problems. he really had a tough hundred days there and he had this flip-flop on the military and people were saying during his hundred days, wow, this guy does not know what he is doing. trump had a rough hundred days. he brought some people up for nomination who really were not fit to be nominated and he showed us this weird habit of talking always about himself, sometimes about some pretty trivial issues instead of focusing on the work of the president. he did not really sound like a president and never did. probably the worst hundred days was jack kennedy. in those first hundred days jack kennedy approved and they carried out the bay of pigs invasion, which was a disaster that echoed through the rest of his presidency. if we were to give a prize for the worst hundred days

he accepted calls from former presidents jimmy carter and bill clinton and i was able to talk with am a little bit. he's being remembered as just transforming the role of vice president. he was in there the first one to have an office in the white house. very involved and not domestic and foreign policy. >> he was generally well liked and well regarded. but he really took a licking and that 84 elections. he all right. time now for our 4 zone forecast as we step outside with our mount tam candidates jiggling a little bit the in the breeze we held. the breeze is causing trouble not an earthquake there you that's right. and cooler, i guess it's getting yeah. you really felt the seabreeze kick in today. so that's going to be the big changes winds going to ramp up. >> and that's really going to drop the temperatures temperatures coming down in many spots around the bay after what was a gorgeous weekend outside. certainly lot of sunshine. those temperatures, the 80's even a couple 90's. now things changed a bit today that sea breeze kicking in a little hazy out there over the bay right now

a careful study of the vice presidency and came up with recommendations that former president jimmy carterted. he was the first to move into the west wing. he had a very substantive rtnership role with president carter. he thought it through from soup to nuts, and every vice president since has had an opportunity to review the memo that walter mondale provided. i certainly did. i've heard joe biden say that when he became vice president, he did the same thing. fritz mondale deserves credit for elevating the vice presidency into a position where he could be far more useful to the president and the country as a whole. how judy: do you see his legacy overall? we aired some excerpts from his speeches. the speech at the convention in 1984 when he spoke about raising taxes, but how do you see the lasting, how he will be seen in history? >> he was a fighter for civil-rights and was known for that. he was an environmentalist. he passed the wild and scenic rivers act before the first earth day. he was a progressive on issue after issue. he was extremely intelligent. he served with my father in the

colleague betsy klein noted that president biden was the first sitting senator to actually endorse jimmy carter'senegade campaign when he ran for president. they've been close for a long time. close allies when president carter was in office, and joe biden was the senator as well. they've maintained that relationship throughout the course of the last several decades. they will be checking in, saying hello. we'll see if we see them at any point during this visit. president carter did not come to the inauguration, due to concerns about his age and the coronavirus pandemic. he has been vaccinated up to this point so we'll see if anything comes out of that meeting. i think when you look broadly over all at what the president's doing today in georgia, obviously this is the first stop in what's expected to be about ten days of extensive travel, top administration officials and cabinet officials as well to sell what he laid out in that primetime address, his $1.8 trillion proposal, to really reshape education and the social safety net for families in this country. it is ambitious. there's no question ab

[applause] we all remember how you embraced human rights so firmly and consistently. we became known, in parts of the world, in ways that we had not report, because of that. and that is still true in many parts of the world. what was the motivation that made human rights such a priority? and if you would, what do you see is the largest human rights issue in the world today? pres. carter: to go back to when i was a child, i grew up in a community where my family was billy white family there. so i grew up in a group of about 215 african-americans. so my whole life was shaped by african-american culture. as i got older, i realized that there was a great deal of discrimination. they could not vote, serve on a jury, they had inferior skills, and so forth. that is the origin of it. i
