Single best idea on a day of a funeral for a president. David Gura sent me the program for the funeral, which will occur across I'll say two hours, but it may be three hours. It is ample, and we note imagine John Lennon's imagine being sung by Garth Brooks and Tricia Yearwood with a pianist, but also the tributes and most importantly the homily by the Reverend Andrew Young always in Forever of Atlanta and Georgia, and of course the
service to the Nations at the United Nations. Within the Carter administration, we decided to get perspective and particularly farther back on an early Jimmy Carter. It was an extraordinary story. I'm not going to go through it right now, but we are advantaged by Wendy Schiller of Brown University here in the past, from Vietnam and Watergate to the thirty ninth.
President Flashboard ten years later, after the Kennedy's assassinated and the Johnson administration runs into trouble in Vietnam, there's just a really sour mood in the United States about the federal government and about politics in general, and at the same time it's running head on into social movements that are transformative, certainly the women's rights movement, certainly anti war movement. You're starting to see the gay rights movement. So Jimmy
Carter comes along sort of then sees a window. First he's elected governor in nineteen seven, a believed in Georgia re elected, and then and then says a window for the Democratic Party to leave that behind and meld the southern strength of Democrats which were still voting for the Democrat Party, the southern side of Democrats with a new vision of where America could go. And I think that's what he sold.
Really interesting interview. She expanded then upon the path to how Carter lost in the landslide to Ronald Reagan coming off the hostage crisis as well. Valuable interview. Wendy Schiller of Brown University, her textbook on Civics in America just definitive as well. My first request to our interns of who to have in honor of Jimmy Carter was Richard Haass. Of course, definitive, with the Consul on Foreign Relations. He's at c interview partners. I guess his first to claim
would be Northern Ireland with a Republican administration. But before that, out of Oberlin, out of Oxford was Richard hass literally opening mail at the Pentagon. He was amazing today about his first days at the Pentagon. Is a very very young, just graduated, almost student. I would say, here is Richard hass On. Jimmy.
I think it's pretty impressive. I mean, if you think about it. And I'll focus on foreign policy. It was an interesting mixture of idealism and realism. He put human rights squarely on the foreign policy agenda, something that Reagan obviously continued. But he also negotiated arts control agreements with Soviet Union. He normalized relations with communist China. He was a realist about what the United States had accept in
terms of the nationalism and rights of others. So he returned the Panama Canal, by the way, on terms that have allowed us to use it ever since. He wasn't the pacifist, but he was a great believer in peace. He negotiated the Camp David Agreements, the Egypt Egyptian Peace Treaty. So I think I'll be seen as a president got an awful lot done in four years.
Richard Hasson of you partners there, of course on mister Carter, and of course what's immediate. There is something we'll address into January. And it appears after the inauguration, something on the top of the pile for President Trump is Panama. And all of a sudden, when we look at what some people, not all people will say it was a giveaway of Panama to some entity of the Panama people, and our use of the Panama Canal really front and
center for President Trump. On your commute across America. We're an ample car play Android Auto. Of course, Good Morning Washington, ninety nine to one, Frigid Washington today for a funeral on YouTube podcasts. This is a single best idea
