1
00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:10,960
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news.

2
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 2: Single best idea on a day of a funeral for

3
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:22,280
Speaker 2: a president. David Gura sent me the program for the funeral,

4
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 2: which will occur across I'll say two hours, but it

5
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 2: may be three hours. It is ample, and we note

6
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 2: imagine John Lennon's imagine being sung by Garth Brooks and

7
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 2: Tricia Yearwood with a pianist, but also the tributes and

8
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 2: most importantly the homily by the Reverend Andrew Young always

9
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 2: in Forever of Atlanta and Georgia, and of course the

10
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 2: service to the Nations at the United Nations. Within the

11
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 2: Carter administration, we decided to get perspective and particularly farther

12
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 2: back on an early Jimmy Carter. It was an extraordinary story.

13
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 2: I'm not going to go through it right now, but

14
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 2: we are advantaged by Wendy Schiller of Brown University here

15
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 2: in the past, from Vietnam and Watergate to the thirty ninth.

16
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: President Flashboard ten years later, after the Kennedy's assassinated and

17
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: the Johnson administration runs into trouble in Vietnam, there's just

18
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: a really sour mood in the United States about the

19
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: federal government and about politics in general, and at the

20
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 1: same time it's running head on into social movements that

21
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: are transformative, certainly the women's rights movement, certainly anti war movement.

22
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: You're starting to see the gay rights movement. So Jimmy

23
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,559
Speaker 1: Carter comes along sort of then sees a window. First

24
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: he's elected governor in nineteen seven, a believed in Georgia

25
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: re elected, and then and then says a window for

26
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party to leave that behind and meld the

27
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: southern strength of Democrats which were still voting for the

28
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: Democrat Party, the southern side of Democrats with a new

29
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: vision of where America could go. And I think that's

30
00:01:58,400 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: what he sold.

31
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 2: Really interesting interview. She expanded then upon the path to

32
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 2: how Carter lost in the landslide to Ronald Reagan coming

33
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 2: off the hostage crisis as well. Valuable interview. Wendy Schiller

34
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 2: of Brown University, her textbook on Civics in America just

35
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 2: definitive as well. My first request to our interns of

36
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 2: who to have in honor of Jimmy Carter was Richard Haass.

37
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 2: Of course, definitive, with the Consul on Foreign Relations. He's

38
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 2: at c interview partners. I guess his first to claim

39
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 2: would be Northern Ireland with a Republican administration. But before that,

40
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 2: out of Oberlin, out of Oxford was Richard hass literally

41
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 2: opening mail at the Pentagon. He was amazing today about

42
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 2: his first days at the Pentagon. Is a very very young,

43
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 2: just graduated, almost student. I would say, here is Richard

44
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 2: hass On. Jimmy.

45
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 3: I think it's pretty impressive. I mean, if you think

46
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 3: about it. And I'll focus on foreign policy. It was

47
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 3: an interesting mixture of idealism and realism. He put human

48
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 3: rights squarely on the foreign policy agenda, something that Reagan

49
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 3: obviously continued. But he also negotiated arts control agreements with

50
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 3: Soviet Union. He normalized relations with communist China. He was

51
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 3: a realist about what the United States had accept in

52
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 3: terms of the nationalism and rights of others. So he

53
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 3: returned the Panama Canal, by the way, on terms that

54
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 3: have allowed us to use it ever since. He wasn't

55
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 3: the pacifist, but he was a great believer in peace.

56
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 3: He negotiated the Camp David Agreements, the Egypt Egyptian Peace Treaty.

57
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 3: So I think I'll be seen as a president got

58
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 3: an awful lot done in four years.

59
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 2: Richard Hasson of you partners there, of course on mister Carter,

60
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 2: and of course what's immediate. There is something we'll address

61
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 2: into January. And it appears after the inauguration, something on

62
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 2: the top of the pile for President Trump is Panama.

63
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 2: And all of a sudden, when we look at what

64
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 2: some people, not all people will say it was a

65
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 2: giveaway of Panama to some entity of the Panama people,

66
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 2: and our use of the Panama Canal really front and

67
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 2: center for President Trump. On your commute across America. We're

68
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 2: an ample car play Android Auto. Of course, Good Morning Washington,

69
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 2: ninety nine to one, Frigid Washington today for a funeral

70
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 2: on YouTube podcasts. This is a single best idea
