This interview was similar to the coverage on The Current radio program, but that interview included one of his most successful campaigns: the near elimination of Guinea worm, a debilitating parasitic disease. Carter also installed solar panels on the roof of the Whitehouse as a symbol of environmental awareness; they were quickly removed by Reagan. Carter is literally in a class by himself when it comes to years of public service for the common good.
When I tell people that Jimmy was my favorite President, they tell me he did nothing. So what is that supposed to mean? He was never at war, there were no scandals and he never encouraged anyone to hate anyone else. It was so honest and peaceful under Carter. Quietness. That's the way Presidential administrations are supposed to be.
I was a teenager, just a few years older than Amy, and I fell in love with the Carters and their family. They were the real deal, REAL Christians, great people. They are the reason I am a Democrat to this day!! (though I am not religious, I appreciate the role that faith had in their lives, and how it made them care so much, and made them such loving people.). They were the VERY rare people who did Christianity right. : )
--Passed Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act, preserved a huge chunk of Alaska wilderness--157 million acres of parks, wilderness areas and other areas protected in perpetuity. --Negotiated the Camp David Accords, which brought enduring peace between Egypt and Israel. --Signed the Panama Canal Treaty returning the Canal Zone to its rightful owners, the people of Panama, putting an end to a violent land-grab that instigated the secession of Panama from Colombia, costing 300,000 lives. And with incredible foresight Carter upon DoD's determination that climate change was being accelerated by CO2 emissions, putting solar panels on the White House. (Reagan later ripped them out.) All that and more in just four short years . . . not at all the feckless goober that the Republican Party sought to paint him.
@@AE-bh5zs I know what you mean. Billy Beer, remember him, cost President Carter a chance at being reelected. I always thought that he was so jealous of his brother that Billy looked for ways to humiliate him. He succeeded because the Reagan campaign painted President Carter as a southern hick with a family full of southern hicks. There was also the Iran hostages and the OPEC oil Embargo. The OPEC Embargo was a Nixon legacy that Carter inherited. Reagan makes one phone call and Iran agrees to release the hostages, pure camel sh*t. If you recall that issue it was later discovered that the Republican party had been negotiating with Iran and working against the Carter Administration. It was a stacked deck.
I had the pleasure to meet him and his wife as a child in Africa. And shack his hand. Unbelievable when security came at me and his wife and him took time to talk to me. And security gave and president gave me the time. Love the man.
It’s so sad that he is in hospice care. Any minute now he will cease to exist. What a tragic day that will be as he is, in my opinion, the best president we’ve ever had.
He wasn't the hero of the day. All the Canadian soldiers were the REAL heros. They were put in there without any safety gear other than rubber boots. So many new and strange cancers came up after in those soldiers. They weren't lowered into the reactor itself. They were in the reactor hall.
@@McBotabeans Well he's correct, President Carter was a true hero during that incident BUT SO WERE 149 OTHER AMERICANS AND OVER 1000 CANADIANS. They all did exactly the same 90 second long job. They should ALL be equally remembered. The reason the 150 Americans were there after the accident helping so bravely, was a request by the American government who saw an opportunity to gain experience and knowledge, as this was the first nuclear accident. I am Canadian, I appreciate very much what all of those men did. I have always liked President Carter, he is truly an awesome gentleman. In 1981 I was heartbroken when all of the hard work he had done to have the hostages released was stolen from him by Reagan. Reagan didn't have the decency to have Carter welcome them home... That was crass. Anyway back in 1952, the American team, Carter included, did not have to be there, so their heroism is multiplied by magnitudes, but our Canadian boys need praise as well. You can find more on this amazing story, look up Chalk River Meltdown. The clean up shows how close our countries are, imagine any other country accepting help in such a delicate situation with nuclear secrets at stake... yeah... no! Cheers! 🥰🇺🇲🇨🇦😍👋🇨🇦
Carter is a hero of mine too and the only one whom I would have liked to have met. He is a decent human being a true Christian. That being said I could have, figuratively speaking, rung his neck for cutting Amtrak in 1979, which was a step backwards.
Wow I thought I knew a bit about Jimmy Carter but I didn't know that. Massive respect before exponentially increased now.

Because Carter eliminated the Guinea worm?
That's some stretch.
I honestly believe if not for Reagan, we would have seen great strides made under Carter in a second term.

I always loved Jimmy Carter but now after this report I love him even more .
What an honour for you to have known him . Thanks for sharing your story
Thank you President Carter.
You are one of the best men to ever lead your country.
Someone should clone you.
🥰😍🤩👋🇨🇦🇺🇲🥰

@@christianperez3517 He just celebrated his 99th birthday. 🙂
He will exist, but in another dimension!
He wasn't the hero of the day.

They weren't lowered into the reactor itself. They were in the reactor hall.
He went in there too and his urine was radioactive fir six months

Agreed, President Carter was one of over 1200 heroes that day.
I think he'd be passed to know that he is the only one praised in this way.
👋🇨🇦
A great American president, and even better human being.
Thanks for sharing your story!!
