rosalynn: yes. the upstairs has a hall all the way down with rooms on the side and in the dining room is across from my bedroom and dining room and a little kitchen there i think jackie kennedy had arranged before the president and their families went downstairs. president carter: much more formal dining room. rosalynn: called the family dining room and it was much more formal. some of them we were told the eisenhowers ate off the tv trays and that upstairs. when jackie kennedy was there with her little babies, she had a kitchen put upstairs in the dining room and that was just normal. i see chip dressed up and that's not always normal. reporter: it looks like you're chasing amy on marine one. president carter: the tree house, amy was a typical 9-year-old child who went to the public schools and would bring her classmates home. we had beautiful trees in front and amy wanted a tree house and i designed a tree house and they wouldn't let us nail it to the tree and i had to design it so it stood and wa

rosalynn: yes. the upstairs has a hall all the way down with rooms on the side and the dining room was icon of across from the bedroom and a kitchen that i think jackie kennedy had ranged. before the president appear families wept downstairs. it was not the big state dining room but were more form. some of them we were told the eisen hours ate off tv trays but when jackie was there with babies she had a kitchen put up stairs and that was just normal. i see chip is dressed up. that is not always normal. >> the tree house and looks like you are facing amy on -- chasing amy on. president carter: i don't remember the chase. amy was a typical 9-year-old child who went to the public schools and bring classmates home. she wanted a tree house so i designed it and they wouldn't let us nail it on to the tree so i had to do it so it was self-supporting but she would spend nights up there with the friend and grand sons would spend all night with her in the tree house. amy was only 13 when we left the white hous

rosalynn carter is indeed a true citizen of the world. and she became a beloved friend to my wife, betty, and me, and to all the ford family. while the carter and ford men were decidedly mixed record when it came to lobbying congress, rosalynn and betty were unbeatable in their advocacy for millions of people whom they brought out of the shadows of despair and shame. now is the time to say good-bye. our grief comforted with the joy and the thanksgiving of knowing this man, this beloved man, this very special man. he was given the gift of years and the american people and the people of the world will be forever blessed by his decades of good works. jimmy carter's legacy of peace and compassion will remain unique as it is timeless. the entire ford family, we extend our love to you and we add our prayers to the prayers of tens of millions of people around the world. may god bless and watch over this good man. may he grant peace to the carter family as they say good bye to a man whose life was lived to the fullest, with the faith demonstrated

rosalynn met us at the front door with her signature smile. together we entered a home they had shared to almost 77 years of marriage, unassuming big ranch home, reflects their modesty more than any trappings of power. we walked in the living room where jimmy greeted us like family. that day, just the four of us sat in the living room and shared memories that spanned almost six decades. a deep friendship that started in 1974. i was a 31-year-old senator and i was the first senator outside of georgia, maybe the first senator to endorse his candidacy for president. it was an endorsement based on what i believe is jimmy carter's enduring attribute, character. character. character. because of that character, i believe is destiny, destiny in our lives and quite frankly, destiny in the life of the nation. as an accumulation of a million things built on character that leads to a good life and a decent country. life of purpose, life of meaning. now, how do we find that good life? what does it look like? what does it take to build character? do the end

rosalynn and jimmy carter's mother was the midwife.so, jonathan, in this beautiful ceremony, we have seen five living presidents sitting there. current and past. some rivalries resolved. some not. it's the first time we have seen president-elect trump and mike pence shaking hands since the disputes of their presidency january 6th four years ago. and is seeing president-elect trump sitting next to barack obama and the two of them chatting more than anyone else. we saw, of course, george w. bush, hillary and bill clinton, dan quayle. i mean, it was really a power play of the american presidency. >> you know, it was also about our civic religion and for all of the polarization, all of the alkaloid. we are one people and it is important to be reminded on days like this that we are in this together, for better or for worse and these rituals of state are important for giving us what one critic a hundred years ago called a usable past. >> in fact, jonathan, you made a point in your book that despite jimmy carter foregoing all of the pop and c

rosalynn passed away in november of 2023 at the age of 96. when i think about what he represents again for people just sort of being introduced to him, to hear about him as a man and as a family man but also again what he did after his life, that says something. 77 years, there is no getting around that. that's a big deal. >> in americas is where habitat for humanity was headquartered. a very eccentric character created the idea of habitat instead of the big public housing in urban areas being built in chicago, new york, and else where in the '70s. habitat did the smaller homes. rosalynn carter, her long shadow like carter center in atlanta is for jimmy carter, hers is georgia southwestern where her institute for mental health is there. she took on the issue of mental health and it was stigmatized. she did more than anybody to talk about that, shed light that you should not be embarrassed about it. you see throughout their lives both jimmy and rosalynn carter finding healthy good times trying to help people that had mental illness and people

rosalynn carter lived there all of her life. so when she passed away last november, he passes away now. the town has been ready for this moment. they've been preparing for this moment because he's been such an indelible part of this community for so long that, you know, he's you know, he's mister jimmy. if you go to anyone's house, they have photographs of mister jimmy, they have stories about jimmy carter. so he is part of that community. he's part of that whole community, and he's truly loved there. >> and when we say tiny, i mean, what is it? >> it's 5 or 600 people. there's no stoplights, there's no grocery store, there's no gas station. you know, you drive down the street, you see his house, you drive down further, you see his birth home or his family farm, his high school. you can walk to all of this stuff. that's how small this town is. >> and it's just about 2.5 hours due west of atlanta. yes. um, and this is a tiny town that really shaped who carter is, right? i mean, it's really interesting the way that he grew up. i w

i believe it's rosalynn carter rosalynn carter, who said to him, you've got to have that. you can't strip this office of all so, so smart. >> i mean, she was a better politician than he was in many ways. >> and the and the other thing is he he used to carry his suitcases when he would come off of air force. air force one, he stopped doing that. he recognized that many americans still wanted their president to be larger than life. and that was stripping it too close to the bone. so he was trying to find that balance. after richard nixon's imperial presidency and wasn't easy to do. >> we are, in these final moments, waiting, and obviously they're running a few moments behind. but that casket will be brought in to lie in state in the capitol, and the service will begin where we will hear from the vice president, the majority leader, the house speaker, kai. it obviously, if you had gone by hearse, this would have happened in just a few moments. part of the choice of a caisson. and carter would have, of course, been very aware of this was to give time, to have time to think, ti

i believe we have a picture of the late president and his wife, rosalynn carter. >> that is me and rosalynn: i'm sorry, with a picture of you, seth. this is the first commencing this but tell us about this moment. >> a lot younger. asked billy congressman dingell mentioned she did a lot of work for the agent and for care. one of the programs we worked on together was raising money for that issue. at that picture was very interesting because we were in the middle of the rose garden area outside of the rose garden. she turned to me and said, "you know, this is a great event, but how much do you think we will raise for the work i do?" she was always on it and a trooper until the end. i think, as you mentioned earlier, such a dedicated spouse. the two of them worked hand-in-hand everywhere. i think that speaks a lot to the time, right question mark if you remember back in 1976, republicans and democrats talk to each other more often and jimmy carter spoke with ronald reagan on occasions after he lost. there was a great deal of bipartisanship. it is a different time and it is great as you all ha

but i rejoice in the thought that he, together, with his beloved wife rosalynn, is now before the faces father. mr. johnson: to the family, jeff and chip and ka'imi, the entire carter family, vice president harris, members of the cabinet, leader thune, my colleagues in congress and my fellow citizens, we meet in this sacred hall of self-government to honor an extraordinary man, a man who modeled the virtues of service and citizenship as well as any other american. surrounding us are the statues for those who gave their time, energy and lives for the good of america. before us lays a man who now joins their midst as a patriot, veteran, a humanitarian, and the 39th president of the united states. when jimmy carter walked out on the east front of the capitol and took his oath of office, i was just 4 years old, and he's the first president that i remember. looking back, it's obvious now to me as an adult why he captured everyone's attention. jimmy carter was a member of the greatest generation. he lived through the great depression. he did that on a farm in rural georgia. he knew the value

he's being buried at his home with rosalynn. that's a more unusual choice. the home built in 1961. you heard his grandson talk about it. modest home, ranch style, pictures all over the refrigerator. what did you make of the description his grandson had of his grandpa? guest: it's not what we typically associate with presidential homes. not that all presidents have been wealthy but usually once they leave office, they write books, give talks, and up living in slightly different circumstances then when they came into office. the commitment signifies a commitment to the community, the church community, the people, neighbors he grew up with an recognition of how much his presence could continue to do for georgia. he didn't have to go back and he chose to. it's less about the house and more about the roots and wanting to make sure as long as he was able to, he gave back to that space. host: when he left office, he discovered his family farm was in debt. a million dollars in debt. they had to make money. guest: they did. the way he chose to do so was books. he did

and he brought rosalynn back with him. but as you famously read in his book, it was a books about him. it was a decision that jimmy carter made alone. and she was so upset about it because rosalynn carter really enjoyed living in annapolis. she didn't speak to him for the whole drive back to plains, georgia, actually. and, you know, it's such a telling moment because of what he was, he was initially hoping his life to be like. but it was that return to plains that got him into politics, and that is what ultimately propelled him to run for governor of georgia and then ultimately for the president of the united states. and it just obviously has shaped so much of american history that still has ramifications for the presidencies that we cover today. and i thought that was such a fascinating part of his story of looking into that and seeing the life that jimmy carter envisioned for himself and ultimately, what president carter went on, went on to be, and obviously how he also viewed the military when he was in office and servi

like jimmy, rosalynn was and is a symbol of american compassion.ry, rosalynn carter is indeed a true citizen of the world. and she became a beloved friend to my wife betty and me and all of the ford family. while the carter and ford men were decidedly mixed record when it came to lobbying congress, rosalynn and betty were unbeatable in their advocacy for millions of people whom they brought out of the shadows of despair and shame. now is the time to say goodbye. our grief comforted with the joy and the thanks giving of knowing this man, this beloved man, this very special man. he was given the gift of years and the american people and the people of the world will be forever blessed by his decades of good works. jimmy carter's legacy of peace and compassion will remain unique as it is timeless. to the entire ford family, we extend our love to you and we add our prayers to the prayers of tens of millions of people around the world may god bless and watch over this good man. may he grant peace to the carter family as they say goodbye to a man whose li

how much time was he deployed, was he away from home, was he away from rosalynn? >> well, when he was on the submarine, they were obviously not with each other. if you look at where their children are born, you know, the three boys, they are all born at different bases, different places. one in hawaii. they were typical couple living a navy life until that 1953 moment. so she had to be kind of dutiful in her own regard as that generation of women were if their husband was in the military. we forget easily, right, the people were still joining the military regularly. you can be part of the cold war effort. this was not a light moment. then the soviet, the china revolution occurred in 1949. now china is communistic. then you have the issue of the soviet union getting atomic weapons. the cold war is on full throttle. he's in trumann in early eisenhower navy. there was a theory of potential world war iii and a nuclear race was going on in here jimmy carter trailing along, south china and asia in submarines in that area. what could be more risky? you had to be quiet. n

and i kept this promise until i fell in love with rosalynn. i mean, to me, that is just there is an authenticity and a pureness there that we have lost. >> and they were married for 77 years. and indeed, whenever i would see jimmy carter and rosalynn carter and not that long ago, i went down to plains, georgia, interviewed the president, spent some time with, you know, with him you could see that love. you could feel that love. kai bird, you've spent a lot of time studying him as well. >> i spent six years writing a biography called the outlier, and he's a fascinating man. i argue in my biography that he's without a doubt the most intelligent, the most hard and certainly the most decent man to have occupied the white house, the oval office in the 20th century. and yet i want to i think your viewers will be surprised when i say that he was also a very tough man. you know, some people have a hard shell, and then you discover that they're soft inside. jimmy carter was just the opposite. he had a soft exterior, but he was hard inside. he was hard

and jimmy and rosalynn carter were absolutely at the center of this.s is a as john described, you know, his his boyhood home. i've been inside that home. it is tiny. you they they've kept it looking like it like it, like it, it has for, for some time. it's a you walk on the floors and you, you, you hear the creaks. the room that he slept in was small. it was, you know, you don't look at that home and imagine that a that a president was, was, came from, came from this small, tiny place that remains small, that remains rural. and it i a little different than other places. jimmy carter was a man from rural america, not the big city. and he, john, underlined something that i think you're going to see over these next few days that people appreciated about this man is how humble he was, how humble he lived. we talk about these secret service agents who you're seeing right now. they built a they you know, every president has secret service agents who, who, who follow that president for life. they needed to build a sort of center to work from near his home. an

on july 7th, 1946, he married rosalynn smith of plains. when his father died in 1953, he resigned his naval commission and returned with his family to georgia. he took over the carter farms, and he and rosalynn operated carter's warehouse, a general purpose seed and farm farm supply company in plains. he quickly became a leader of the community, serving on county boards, supervising education, the hospital authority, and the library. in 1962, he won election to the georgia senate. he lost his first gubernatorial campaign in 1966, but won the next election, becoming georgia's 76th governor. on january 12th, 1971. he was the democratic national committee campaign chairman for the 1974 congressional and gubernatorial elections. on december 12th, 1974, he announced his candidacy for president of the united states. he won his party's nomination on the first ballot at the 1976 democratic national convention, and was elected president of the united states on november 2nd, 1976. jimmy carter served as president from january 20th, 1977 to january 2

[laughter] -- rosalynn.ook and pad, and we began to have a conversation. because up until that point the club had been shuttered for a new few months. he was interested in bringing the club under our umbrella and roping it. and he was willing -- reopening it. he made it very clear that he was willing to do anything, just about anything, to ensure that that club was reopened and that the doors would never close again. david: well, that's -- >> he made a some primeses to mt day, and i made some promises to him. david: the long and short of it was he kept his word, and you are still in business, correct if. >> absolutely. he kept his word, and prior to my retirement, i got a chance the see him in june of '22. we reopened the pool at the club, and i went -- he summoned me to the van that he was in, and i said to him, you kept your promises, consider this all of my promises kept, and and we had a great laugh. and we took our customary selfie together. david: i must say say it wasn't just jim maine carter. as long

rosalynn: i was excited about traveling around the world and getting to see new places and loved it. the beauty jimmy had in the navy was very good. he never was on really long cruises. sometimes he'd go out and be gone during the week and home again on weekends. he had good duty and we enjoyed it. president carter: about the longest cruise i had was three months away from home in the pacific. rosalynn: that's when he was being transferred to hawaii, pearl harbor, and i came home with a tiny baby and stayed a few months. so it was not like being left in a port somewhere with him gone all the time. reporter: the two of you still have the wedding dress and the outfit. >> special air mission 39 departing dobbins air reserve base with the late president jimmy carter making his final journey to washington, d.c. for the state funeral for the late president which gets underway around 2:15 eastern time here in washington. we expect him to land at joint base andrews and then there will be a procedure to the u.s. navy memorial, a procession, excuse me, to the u.s. navy memorial. and then from

he came back and ran the fire himself along with rosalynn carter, his wife. and now we see the motorcade, the lead vehicle there, carrying the body of the former president. let us stop and listen, as we ceremony to begin. she was bells ringing soon. present arms. bell ringing. bell ringing. bell ringing. 39 tolls of the bell at the family farm where you may carter grew up to honour the 39th president of the united states. we saw that longest serving national park service ranger there on that national historic site. we see the gathering there of staff and rangers that are running this now museum as they salutejimmy carter. this part of georgia, archery, quite a small town. this was a farm, when the president was born, didn't have running water or electricity. get a sense of the nature of the farm. nothing fancy. again, this was the son of a peanut farmer, jimmy carter growing up there, eventually took over the family business, before he decided to get into politics and ran for state senate, running to become governor of georgia, and then the white house that.

carter, rosalynn carter, was often late. and it was a source of at least some tension, minor tension in their 77-year marriage, which is an extraordinary length. there's only a tiny handful of people who've been married in the united states as long as that. and she was late and got a present from president carter, who was a woodworker, and it was a plaque and it said rosie, which he and he alone called her, "this entitles you to be late for the rest of your life." and she said it was the best birthday present she ever received. so i'm also -- because they're headed for the georgia state capitol, i've been thinking about his great contributions as governor of georgia between 1971 and 1975. and i think he's best known for hanging a picture of martin luther king in the georgia state capitol, which prompted a protest by the ku klux klan but was symbolic of his efforts to desegregate the government of georgia. and then he moved on to move the united states government from tokenism to true diversity. but those were just a couple o

the late rosalynn carter, as well.hey started planning in 1986 for what will happen leading up to his final resting place. so it will begin in just a few moments. >> yeah. when you live to 100, you have a lot of time to plan, that is for sure. thank you so much. such an interesting conversation with our friend jeff. and as we go to break any minute now, we are going to see the late former president jimmy carter's funeral procession. it's going to leave where you are looking right now. the phoebe sumter medical center. that is important to jimmy carter, because it is a place that treated him often with his a lot of his ailments, particularly through the end of his life. it's going to start there and then bring him to his childhood home. we're going to bring you all of that live our special coverage continues after a very quick break. >> have i got news for you? it's back for a new season, whether you like it or not. >> are those the only two choices? yes. >> you like it or you don't? >> i'm on the fence. >> this is goin

there's a famous story of his drive back from schenectady, new york, to to the with rosalynn. and she was furious, you know, that she she didn't want to go back to plains at first. she didn't want to go back to the small town life. little did she know that it would then lead her to the white house, and that she would grow. i mean, if you go to plains, there's a butterfly garden there that started by rosalynn carter. she. i've been very happy to see that his life story is so tied to hers. i mean, when she passed away, that's a lot of what we heard about was their marriage. and of course, as the first lady, as a woman, you're often defined that way. but we've seen that his life is defined by that 77 year long marriage to and that she was the first lady to have an office in the east wing. he empowered her, just as he did with walter mondale, you know, to to play a major role within the white house. and that speaks to their mutual respect. >> and just one more bit of detail about that bell that we saw and heard being rung, one of his many books was an hour before daylight, and tha
