has a different kind of vibe.</i>

312
00:15:02.625 --> 00:15:06.146
<i>- Music has the capacity
to speak on multiple levels.</i>

313
00:15:06.284 --> 00:15:09.909
I mean, there's the level
of--of the words, the lyrics.

314
00:15:10.047 --> 00:15:11.151
That's there.

315
00:15:11.289 --> 00:15:12.842
But sometimes,
there's a deeper level

316
00:15:12.981 --> 00:15:16.053
on what the music
connects inside the brain

317
00:15:16.191 --> 00:15:18.538
and maybe better yet,
inside the soul.

a new era,</i>

00:15:29.273 --> 00:15:32.069

<i>with Jaimoe on drums,</i>

360

<i>and the only questions
he asked me</i>

361
00:17:10.995 --> 00:17:12.962
<i>were questions about
my Christian faith</i>

362

363

<i>and the basic principles
of it.</i>

364
00:17:16.483 --> 00:17:18.002
<i>- When I first met Jimmy,</i>

365
00:17:18.140 --> 00:17:21.592
<i>the first thing he did
was quote my songs back to me.</i>

366

<i>It was the first time
that I realized my songs</i>

367

had reached into--basically,
into the establishment world,

368
00:17:29.462 --> 00:17:31.878
and I had no experience
in that realm.

369
00:17:32.016 --> 00:17:34.984
Never seen that side.
So it made me a little uneasy.

370
00:17:35.123 --> 00:17:40.404
<i>He, uh, put my mind at ease
by not talking down to me</i>

along with Willie Nelson
and others.

388
00:18:28.935 --> 00:18:31.006
- Probably, he and Bob had
a lot of good ideas

389
00:18:31.144 --> 00:18:34.423
to exchange because they come
from entirely different places.

390
00:18:34.561 --> 00:18:35.769
- Right.

391
00:18:35.907 --> 00:18:38.427

00:18:38.565 --> 00:18:40.291

<i>[upbeat music]</i>

<i>that Governor Carter
was throwing for Bob Dylan.</i>

396
00:18:49.921 --> 00:18:54.443
So we got there just as
the last guest was leaving.

397
00:18:54.581 --> 00:18:56.790
- Bob Dylan and his band
had already gone home,

398
00:18:56.928 --> 00:18:59.517
and I'm sure I had
taken--I had taken off my,

399
00:18:59.655 --> 00:19:01.554
you know,
dress-up clothes, kind of.

400
00:19:01.692 --> 00:19:05.040
- There's this guy
standing on the porch,

401
00:19:05.178 --> 00:19:06.731
and he had on this old pair
of Levi's

402
00:19:06.869 --> 00:19:08.940
with holes all in them.

403
00:19:09.078 --> 00:19:12.461
No shirt,
no shoes,

404
00:19:12.599 --> 00:19:14.360
<i>and I thought,
"Who's this bum hanging out</i>

<i>Well that was him.

407
00:19:18.191 --> 00:19:21.746
There's a full bottle
of J&B Scotch sitting there,

408
00:19:21.884 --> 00:19:26.130
which we proceeded to drink
just about all of.

409
00:19:26.268 --> 00:19:28.270
[laughs]
And he says,

410
00:19:28.408 --> 00:19:30.307
"You know, I'm gonna be
our next president."

411
00:19:30.445 --> 00:19:32.930

412
00:19:33.068 --> 00:19:34.207
with Gregg,

413
00:19:34.345 --> 00:19:36.278
but I don't remember
a bottle of scotch.

414
00:19:36.416 --> 00:19:38.763
I do not--I only--I generally
limited myself

415
00:19:38.901 --> 00:19:42.836
to the one drink of wine
or whiskey a day,

416
00:19:42.974 --> 00:19:44.804
so that may be a little bit
of an exaggeration.

417
00:19:44.942 --> 00:19:48.428
- He was cool,
he enjoyed our music,

418
00:19:48.566 --> 00:19:52.191
he was real,

He came here one night

So he befriended these--
these performers and, um--

00:22:07.705 --> 00:22:09.258

<i>- President Carter loved jazz.</i>

1139

He loved all kinds of music,
but he really did love jazz,

1140
00:54:51.322 --> 00:54:55.637
and I have always thought that
music was our best ambassador,

1141
00:54:55.775 --> 00:54:59.848
and especially jazz because it
is so identified with America

<i>and being very special
to America,</i>

Jimmy Carter was, I think,

00:59:21.868 --> 00:59:25.182
he's gonna get, uh,
a Camp David Accords

1235
00:59:25.320 --> 00:59:29.876
<i>between the biggest army
in the Middle East, Egypt,</i>

1236
00:59:30.014 --> 00:59:31.740
<i>and the Israelis.</i>

1237
00:59:31.878 --> 00:59:35.502
<i>- President Carter really used
his knowledge of the subject</i>

1238
00:59:35.641 --> 00:59:40.715
and his willingness to talk
to people in a very direct way

1239
00:59:40.853 --> 00:59:43.062
to get a result.
He was very good, I think,

1240
00:59:43.200 --> 00:59:44.511
<i>about being able
to put himself</i>

1241
00:59:44.650 --> 00:59:46.134
<i>into other people's shoes,</i>

1242
00:59:46.272 --> 00:59:47.860
<i>to understand what
they needed.</i>

1243
00:59:47.998 --> 00:59:52.347
- The odds of pulling off
this peace treaty between

1244
00:59:52.485 --> 00:59:56.523
Sadat and Menachem Begin
was, you know, slight,

1245
00:59:56.662 --> 00:59:58.387
and--and a lot of, uh,

1246
00:59:58.525 --> 01:00:01.736
his international advisors
were saying, "Don't do this,"

1247
01:00:01.874 --> 01:00:03.910
and Carter had this
moment in time

1248
01:00:04.048 --> 01:00:05.774
<i>that he knew he had
a shot at it,</i>

1249
01:00:05.912 --> 01:00:07.465
<i>so he did.</i>

1250
01:00:07.604 --> 01:00:09.744
- Ladies and gentlemen,

1251
01:00:09.882 --> 01:00:13.092
the President
of the United States,

1252
01:00:13.230 --> 01:00:16.820
the President
of the Arab Republic of Egypt,

1253
01:00:16.958 --> 01:00:19.098
and the Prime Minister
of Israel.

1254
01:00:19.236 --> 01:00:23.067
[applause]

1255
01:00:23.205 --> 01:00:25.794
<i>- He put his life and soul
into that, you know?</i>

1256
01:00:25.932 --> 01:00:29.418
And that--that's been
the most important

1257
01:00:29.556 --> 01:00:33.802
and only breakthrough really in
the dilemma of the Middle East.

1258
01:00:33.940 --> 01:00:38.117
- We are privileged
to witness tonight

1259
01:00:38.255 --> 01:00:41.120
a significant achievement
in the cause of peace.

1260
01:00:41.258 --> 01:00:43.847
<i>- President Carter
was interested in having</i>

1261
01:00:43.985 --> 01:00:45.952
<i>a moral foreign policy.</i>

1262
01:00:46.090 --> 01:00:48.714
<i>He thought that our dedication
to human rights,</i>

1263
01:00:48.852 --> 01:00:51.095
America's value system,

1264
01:00:51.233 --> 01:00:53.201
was what he wanted
to represent,

1265
01:00:53.339 --> 01:00:56.998
and he did make, um,
the pursuit of human rights

1266
01:00:57.136 --> 01:01:00.242
<i>all over the world
one of his basic tenets</i>

1267
01:01:00.380 --> 01:01:03.314
<i>about national security
policy--the best of America.</i>

1268
01:01:03.452 --> 01:01:04.453
What are we about?

1269
01:01:04.591 --> 01:01:07.664
[cheering]

1270
01:01:07.802 --> 01:01:10.563
<i>[rock music]</i>

1271
01:01:10.701 --> 01:01:13.808
- Human rights.
The right to live like a human.

1272
01:01:13.946 --> 01:01:19.814
That's something that
President Jimmy Carter,

1273
01:01:19.952 --> 01:01:25.751
um, tried to make real, uh,
with his foreign policy,

1274
01:01:25.889 --> 01:01:29.651
<i>and he had difficulty
implementing it</i>

1275
01:01:29.789 --> 01:01:32.861
<i>around the world,
but at least he was trying.</i>

1276
01:01:32.999 --> 01:01:35.830
<i>- He sent me to Africa
with a note</i>

1277
01:01:35.968 --> 01:01:37.866
<i>on a torn piece of paper:</i>

1278
01:01:38.004 --> 01:01:40.869
<i>"I want you to ask
African leaders</i>

1279
01:01:41.007 --> 01:01:43.389
"what they expect
of this administration

1280
01:01:43.527 --> 01:01:47.531
and how we can help them."
That's revolutionary.

1281
01:01:47.669 --> 01:01:48.912
- With the coming
of the New Year,

1282
01:01:49.050 --> 01:01:50.741
a new and controversial chapter

1283
01:01:50.879 --> 01:01:52.950
in America's relationship
with Asia.

1284
01:01:53.088 --> 01:01:54.400
<i>Here in Washington
this morning,</i>

1285
01:01:54.538 --> 01:01:56.643
<i>the flag of
the People's Republic of China</i>

1286
01:01:56.782 --> 01:01:57.955
<i>raised for the first time</i>

1287
01:01:58.093 --> 01:02:00.164
<i>at what's now
the Chinese Embassy.</i>

1288
01:02:00.302 --> 01:02:02.926
<i>That ceremony one of several
marking the opening of formal</i>

1289
01:02:03.064 --> 01:02:04.513
<i>U.S. ties with Peking</i>

1290
01:02:04.651 --> 01:02:07.102
<i>and the end of formal
relations with Taiwan.</i>

1291
01:02:07.240 --> 01:02:09.518
<i>- In terms of opening
up to China.</i>

1292
01:02:09.656 --> 01:02:11.658
President Carter
followed through

1293
01:02:11.797 --> 01:02:16.284
on what had been an opening
by a Republican president,

1294
01:02:16.422 --> 01:02:19.390
and I find that
the bipartisanship of that

1295
01:02:19.528 --> 01:02:21.599
is something
that is worth noting,

1296
01:02:21.738 --> 01:02:23.394
given what some
of the atmosphere

1297
01:02:23.532 --> 01:02:25.155
has been on that recently.

1298
01:02:25.293 --> 01:02:27.364
- How are you?

1299
01:02:27.502 --> 01:02:29.642
<i>- The, um,
Chinese ambassador came</i>

1300
01:02:29.780 --> 01:02:32.749
and, like President Carter
would always do, he'd say,

1301
01:02:32.887 --> 01:02:34.509
"And if there's anything
I can do for you?

1302
01:02:34.647 --> 01:02:36.614
Is there anything you want?"

1303
01:02:36.753 --> 01:02:39.652
And the ambassador said, "Yes.
I'd like to go to Nashville."

1304
01:02:39.790 --> 01:02:46.072
<i>[country music]</i>

1305
01:02:46.210 --> 01:02:49.179
- The President asked me
to put that trip together,

1306
01:02:49.317 --> 01:02:52.147
and it was just
a magnificent weekend,

1307
01:02:52.285 --> 01:02:54.563
'cause Nashville rolled out
the red carpet,

1308
01:02:54.701 --> 01:02:57.532
at Jimmy Carter's request,
for this, you know,

1309
01:02:57.670 --> 01:03:00.500
first People's Republic
of China ambassador.

1310
01:03:00.638 --> 01:03:04.470
<i>Started with a luncheon
of every business leader</i>

1311
01:03:04.608 --> 01:03:05.816
<i>in the music business</i>

1312
01:03:05.954 --> 01:03:08.681
<i>coming to the
BMI Conference Room,</i>

1313
01:03:08.819 --> 01:03:11.304
<i>and that lunch ended
with Barbara Mandrell,</i>

1314
01:03:11.442 --> 01:03:14.480
<i>as the doors opened,
standing there with her combo</i>

1315
01:03:14.618 --> 01:03:17.448
<i>singing "Sleeping Single
in a Double Bed,"</i>

1316
01:03:17.586 --> 01:03:19.623
<i>as the interpreter was telling
the ambassador</i>

1317
01:03:19.761 --> 01:03:22.488
<i>what she was singing,
he just died laughing.</i>

1318
01:03:22.626 --> 01:03:26.388
<i>And then the weekend ended
with Sunday morning brunch.</i>

1319
01:03:26.526 --> 01:03:29.909
<i>Minnie Pearl came.
June and Johnny Cash came.</i>

1320
01:03:30.047 --> 01:03:31.911
<i>The terrific remembrance
I have of this</i>

1321
01:03:32.049 --> 01:03:33.844
is Dixie rings the bell,

1322
01:03:33.982 --> 01:03:35.397
you know,
and says "Breakfast is served."

1323
01:03:35.535 --> 01:03:39.160
This is Sunday morning;
this is Nashville, in 1979.

1324
01:03:39.298 --> 01:03:41.818
Somebody would've usually
said a blessing,

1325
01:03:41.956 --> 01:03:44.234
but we had our guest
from Beijing there,

1326
01:03:44.372 --> 01:03:46.650
and it was
a hesitant moment there,

1327
01:03:46.788 --> 01:03:49.411
and all of a sudden Johnny Cash
and June Carter

1328
01:03:49.549 --> 01:03:52.656
started singing
"Shall the Circle Be Unbroken."

1329
01:03:52.794 --> 01:03:59.111
<i>- ♪ Will the circle

01:04:24.308 --> 01:04:25.585
- And then it was great

1336
01:04:25.723 --> 01:04:27.967
because Deng Xiaoping
came to the United States,

1337
01:04:28.105 --> 01:04:30.832
and there was a lot
of celebrating, justly so.

1338
01:04:30.970 --> 01:04:34.836
<i>It was one of the really
important national security,</i>

01:04:34.974 --> 01:04:37.977
um, agendas that,
uh, President Carter did.

1340
01:04:38.115 --> 01:04:43.707
- Country music has become
a national treasure

1341
01:04:43.845 --> 01:04:48.815
and indeed a worldwide
source of entertainment

1342
01:04:48.954 --> 01:04:51.232
and enjoyment
that transcends language

1343
01:04:51.370 --> 01:04:53.751
and transcends
national borders.

1344
01:04:53.890 --> 01:04:58.480
It's always good to see
something come out of the South

that musicians, you know,

1368
01:06:11.898 --> 01:06:13.935
were drawn to President Carter
and vice versa,

1369
01:06:14.073 --> 01:06:15.281
he was a man of the earth.

1370
01:06:15.419 --> 01:06:17.525
For God's sake,
he was a peanut farmer.

01:06:17.663 --> 01:06:20.769
<i>He was raised

<i>That was part of that culture.</i>

1373
01:06:22.254 --> 01:06:23.462
You know, Shakespeare said

1374
01:06:23.600 --> 01:06:26.465
"If music be
the language of love, play on."

1375
01:06:26.603 --> 01:06:31.194
My favorite is Lord Fletcher
of Saltoun.

1376
01:06:31.332 --> 01:06:37.683

and all of America
must move forward.

We've had lessons

with a great deal of pain,

1552
01:14:36.989 --> 01:14:40.165
but the past
is not a place to live.

1553
01:14:40.303 --> 01:14:43.720
We must go forward
in the South, and we will.

<i>- The Ku Klux Klan
was down on me, obviously,</i>

1562
01:14:59.978 --> 01:15:03.775
<i>and they wanted
to disrupt the rally,</i>

1563
01:15:03.913 --> 01:15:05.604
and so I thought
the only way to do it

1564
01:15:05.742 --> 01:15:07.779
was to confront them directly.

1565
01:15:07.917 --> 01:15:09.677
<i>- We kinda had to walk through
this gauntlet</i>

1566
01:15:09.815 --> 01:15:11.127
<i>of all these guys,
and you know,</i>

1567
01:15:11.265 --> 01:15:15.131
Carter being Jimmy Carter
would stop and jeer back

1568
01:15:15.269 --> 01:15:18.099
at them every once in a while
about what cowards they were.

1569
01:15:18.237 --> 01:15:19.687
<i>- This good man,</i>

1570
01:15:19.825 --> 01:15:23.657
<i>who wanted to try to reverse
the tide of history,</i>

1571
01:15:23.795 --> 01:15:25.106
<i>not only in the South
and in America</i>

1572
01:15:25.244 --> 01:15:27.315
<i>but within his own
party--the guys</i>

1573
01:15:27.453 --> 01:15:28.662
with the white hoods

1574
01:15:28.800 --> 01:15:32.907
and the burning crosses
did not like that.

1575
01:15:33.045 --> 01:15:34.875
- There was a lot
of discontent.

1576
01:15:35.013 --> 01:15:37.705
<i>There'd been outrageous
inflation in this country</i>

1577
01:15:37.843 --> 01:15:40.018
<i>through about three
presidents.</i>

1578
01:15:40.156 --> 01:15:44.022
<i>You had 18% interest,
you had 18% inflation,</i>

1579
01:15:44.160 --> 01:15:47.128
<i>and you had the price of gas
through the ceiling,</i>

1580
01:15:47.266 --> 01:15:50.649
<i>and you had long lines,
back in '79 and '80,</i>

1581
01:15:50.787 --> 01:15:52.168
<i>people running out of gas.</i>

1582
01:15:52.306 --> 01:15:56.621
It made Carter
appear like he was weak.

1583
01:15:56.759 --> 01:15:59.244
- Are you and your family

1584
01:15:59.382 --> 01:16:03.248
more secure
after 4 years of Jimmy Carter?

1585
01:16:03.386 --> 01:16:04.801
all: No!

1586
01:16:04.939 --> 01:16:06.734
- And is America
still a country

1587
01:16:06.872 --> 01:16:09.944
that enjoys respect
throughout the world?

1588
01:16:10.082 --> 01:16:13.154
all: "No!"

1589
01:16:13.292 --> 01:16:18.159
<i>- I think there was a sense
of spiritual depression,</i>

1590
01:16:18.297 --> 01:16:20.990
<i>where there was a sense
in which we were stuck.</i>

1591
01:16:21.128 --> 01:16:22.750
Then the cultural
climate changed

1592
01:16:22.888 --> 01:16:25.373
because of all of
the various factors,

1593
01:16:25.511 --> 01:16:28.342
economic and geopolitical.

1594
01:16:28.480 --> 01:16:32.449
The global climate and
the national climate changed,

1595
01:16:32.588 --> 01:16:34.382
and I think that
tilted the election

1596
01:16:34.520 --> 01:16:36.074
as much as anything else.

1597
01:16:36.212 --> 01:16:37.558
<i>- It was the one-year
anniversary</i>

1598
01:16:37.696 --> 01:16:40.319
<i>of the Iran hostage crisis,</i>

1599
01:16:40.457 --> 01:16:44.358
<i>and all the networks
had special programs,</i>

1600
01:16:44.496 --> 01:16:48.189
and President Carter's numbers
just took a nosedive.

1601
01:16:48.327 --> 01:16:51.365
- Our election map tells the
story of the Presidential race.

1602
01:16:51.503 --> 01:16:57.371
Carter won 52 Electoral votes,
Reagan in a landslide, 486,

1603
01:16:57.509 --> 01:16:59.338
Anderson none.

1604
01:16:59.476 --> 01:17:01.064
- I wasn't surprised when
he lost to Reagan,

1605
01:17:01.202 --> 01:17:06.898
but I was deeply disappointed,
profoundly disappointed.

1606
01:17:07.036 --> 01:17:09.383
<i>- I've always felt, all along,</i>

1607
01:17:09.521 --> 01:17:13.180
that he got the shortest end
of the stick of any president

1608
01:17:13.318 --> 01:17:15.561
that I could think of
in modern history.

1609
01:17:15.700 --> 01:17:17.080
- We all felt so bad for him,

1610
01:17:17.218 --> 01:17:19.151
because we felt like
he had done so much.

1611
01:17:19.289 --> 01:17:21.533
- The irony of
the Carter Presidency,

1612
01:17:21.671 --> 01:17:22.914
of course, is that many

1613
01:17:23.052 --> 01:17:24.950
of his accomplishments,
accomplishments

1614
01:17:25.088 --> 01:17:29.023
about which he is proud,
are in the hands of the man

1615
01:17:29.161 --> 01:17:32.130
who is going to be sworn
in next Tuesday, Ronald Reagan.

1616
01:17:32.268 --> 01:17:34.201
<i>Such accomplishments
as an energy policy</i>

1617
01:17:34.339 --> 01:17:37.031
<i>or a separate
Education Department,</i>

1618
01:17:37.169 --> 01:17:40.448
<i>the deregulation of business
or the reorganization</i>

1619
01:17:40.586 --> 01:17:42.071
of the government--all those

1620
01:17:42.209 --> 01:17:45.074
could be undone
by Ronald Reagan.

1621
01:17:45.212 --> 01:17:47.732
- I was one of the last people
in the White House

1622
01:17:47.870 --> 01:17:49.354
when the administration
changed.

1623
01:17:49.492 --> 01:17:53.392
<i>And I had gone out
to Andrews Air Force base</i>

1624
01:17:53.530 --> 01:17:55.360
<i>with a lot of other people
to go</i>

1625
01:17:55.498 --> 01:17:57.776
<i>and say goodbye
to President Carter,</i>

1626
01:17:57.914 --> 01:17:59.295
<i>and it was at that moment</i>

1627
01:17:59.433 --> 01:18:02.125
that the hostages were released
to President Reagan.

1628
01:18:02.263 --> 01:18:04.921
<i>- There were tears in the eyes
of Mr. Carter's aides</i>

1629
01:18:05.059 --> 01:18:07.130
<i>when the Presidential Jet
went out of its way</i>

1630
01:18:07.268 --> 01:18:10.202
<i>to fly over the White House
one last time.</i>

1631
01:18:10.340 --> 01:18:13.792
<i>In Plains, Mr. Carter made
his first public statement</i>

1632
01:18:13.930 --> 01:18:15.725
<i>since the freeing
of the hostages.</i>

1633
01:18:15.863 --> 01:18:18.210
- Just a few moments ago,
on Air Force One,

1634
01:18:18.348 --> 01:18:20.972
before we landed
at Warner Robins,

1635
01:18:21.110 --> 01:18:24.976
I had received word
officially for the first time

1636
01:18:25.114 --> 01:18:29.532
that the aircraft carrying
the 52 American hostages

1637
01:18:29.670 --> 01:18:33.018
had cleared Iranian airspace,

1638
01:18:33.156 --> 01:18:39.266
on the first leg
of a journey home,

1639
01:18:39.404 --> 01:18:43.511
and that every one
of the 52 hostages was alive,

1640
01:18:43.649 --> 01:18:45.997
was well, and free.

1641
01:18:48.033 --> 01:18:49.138
- He was praising that day,
you know.

1642
01:18:49.276 --> 01:18:51.036
It was like,
that's what he wanted.

1643
01:18:51.174 --> 01:18:54.039
He didn't care about how
and when it happened.

1644
01:18:54.177 --> 01:18:55.696
<i>He--that's just what
he wanted to see happen.</i>

1645
01:18:55.834 --> 01:18:57.387
<i>That's the day that I just
fell more in love with him,</i>

1646
01:18:57.525 --> 01:18:58.664
<i>because he is
the true definition</i>

1647
01:18:58.803 --> 01:19:00.149
<i>of "Love one another."</i>

1648
01:19:00.287 --> 01:19:02.185
- He resolved the crisis
in a peaceful way,

1649
01:19:02.323 --> 01:19:03.359
with humility.

1650
01:19:03.497 --> 01:19:05.741
It took a lot of courage
to do that.

1651
01:19:07.259 --> 01:19:08.571
<i>- I tried,
when I was president,</i>

1652
01:19:08.709 --> 01:19:11.263
<i>to preserve the peace,
and I'm grateful now</i>

1653
01:19:11.401 --> 01:19:14.025
<i>that I went through four years
in the White House,</i>

1654
01:19:14.163 --> 01:19:18.374
and we never dropped a bomb,
we never fired a missile,

1655
01:19:18.512 --> 01:19:22.999
we never shot a bullet
to kill another person.

1656
01:19:23.137 --> 01:19:28.453
And I would say
that my religious commitment

1657
01:19:28.591 --> 01:19:32.077
to the Prince of Peace
was an important part

1658
01:19:32.215 --> 01:19:35.563
of one of the basic principles
that I tried to pursue.

1659
01:19:35.701 --> 01:19:40.534
<i>[pensive music]</i>

1660
01:19:40.672 --> 01:19:43.986
<i>- I think he took that loss
with incredible grace</i>

1661
01:19:44.124 --> 01:19:45.677
<i>and dignity.</i>

1662
01:19:45.815 --> 01:19:48.473
I'm sure he had to think a lot
about what he was going to do.

1663
01:19:48.611 --> 01:19:51.579
I think he probably entertained
the idea of coming to Atlanta

1664
01:19:51.717 --> 01:19:52.995
and living

1665
01:19:53.133 --> 01:19:54.928
and maybe working
out of Atlanta,

1666
01:19:55.066 --> 01:19:58.000
but he made the decision--he
and Rosalynn--to

1667
01:19:58.138 --> 01:20:00.036
go back to Plains, Georgia,

1668
01:20:00.174 --> 01:20:01.486
<i>and I thought
that was very cool.</i>

1669
01:20:01.624 --> 01:20:04.075
<i>Go back to the small town.
Be who you are.</i>

1670
01:20:04.213 --> 01:20:05.835
<i>- It worked out well.
You know,</i>

1671
01:20:05.973 --> 01:20:08.251
<i>we ended up coming home
and starting the Carter Center</i>

1672
01:20:08.389 --> 01:20:09.597
<i>and starting off
our new lives,</i>

1673
01:20:09.735 --> 01:20:12.255
so you know, we missed
the White House, sure,

1674
01:20:12.393 --> 01:20:15.258
but--and what we might be able
to accomplish there--but

1675
01:20:15.396 --> 01:20:19.504
<i>it didn't slow down, you know,
Dad's desire to help people.</i>

1676
01:20:19.642 --> 01:20:22.093
<i>- We heard President Carter
speak and he talked about</i>

1677
01:20:22.231 --> 01:20:24.578
<i>when he and Rosalynn
left the White House</i>

1678
01:20:24.716 --> 01:20:28.927
<i>and he said, "We realized
that we had a lot of life left</i>

1679
01:20:29.065 --> 01:20:30.101
"and we had to sit
and figure out

1680
01:20:30.239 --> 01:20:31.481
what we wanted to do
with our lives."

1681
01:20:31.619 --> 01:20:34.726
And I think that there
has not been a president,

1682
01:20:34.864 --> 01:20:37.211
with no disrespect to anyone
who's come before or after...

1683
01:20:37.349 --> 01:20:39.627
- Amen.
- Who has done more

1684
01:20:39.765 --> 01:20:41.146
since they left office

1685
01:20:41.284 --> 01:20:42.596
than even they did
when they were in office.

1686
01:20:42.734 --> 01:20:44.529
And I think it's a testament
to them as a couple,

1687
01:20:44.667 --> 01:20:47.912
just the humanitarians
that they have been to us

that nobody else is doing.

So we'll take the lead
on Guinea worm

- If the worm comes out
of a joint,

say, in your knee, it swells up
and destroys the tissue.

1702
01:21:31.196 --> 01:21:33.233
So the aftermath
is very similar to polio.

1703
01:21:33.371 --> 01:21:34.959
It completely debilitates
that knee,

1704
01:21:35.097 --> 01:21:37.858
and sometimes the knee--the leg
is crippled

the antiretroviral drugs

three of these, you stay alive.

Three of these a day,"

1710
01:21:48.351 --> 01:21:49.905
and I'd show people
what they looked like.

who was running for President
of the United States.

1835

President of the United States,
my United States.

1837

He campaigned
with the Allman Brothers.

was just a little longer

he'd be in the Allman brothers.
