Whether it's reporting on conflicts abroad and political divisions at home, or covering the latest style trends and scientific developments, New York Times video journalists provide a revealing and unforgettable view of the world. It's all the news that's fit to watch.
Jimmy Carter was ahead of his time. We weren't ready for him. We didn't deserve him. Maybe, just maybe, another will come along some day, inspired by his greatness, and make his vision a reality.
If we want another President Carter, we need to become the next President Carter. We need to become the change that not just we want to see, but the change Carter would want us to bring.
I hope our current president and more to come will be like Carter.
I HAVE COME TO UNDERSTAND HIS ONE TERM WAS A BLESSING IN DISGUISE. HE BECAME MORE "AUTHENTIC & EXEMPLARY" & HIS LEGACY IS TRULY GREATLY ADMIRED, AS AN HONEST MAN, A TRUE WORLD LEADER "REMOVED" FROM THE "HOOPLA" & DECIET. HE DID NOT BELONG TO THAT SICK, SAD, SCREWY GAME OF POLITICS. BRINGS TO MIND WHAT HIS SERVICE PERSONEL SAID AS THEY WERE CELEBRATING 4TH OF JULY IN HIS LAST YEAR, "I TRIED TO DO MY BEST" & THE SERVICEMAN ASSIGNED TO HIM WHO KNEW HIM WELL SAID "YOU DID SIR YOU DID" AH! MAY AMERICANS LEARN INDEED AND NEVER FORGET.
YOUR DILLUSIONAL, STRAIGHT UP. CARTER WAS ONE OF THE WORST PRESIDENTS EVER.
Well said!
RIP Jimmy Carter
They hated him because he told them the truth, while others sold them lies.
Very true
His campaign promise was "I will never lie to you". What a contrast to Trump, who does nothing but.
His greatest strength was his greatest weakness: his honesty. When things were not going smoothly, he did not mince words and tell the people that everything was fine; he told them how it was and even put the blame upon himself, which unfortunately made it possible for political rivals to use that against him. His “malaise speech” and plain way of speaking was also uninspiring to lots of people but I still think that is better than other politicians who do nothing but lie. He was truly a good and honest man
@@michelez715 This reply will start an argument
@@willm678a good and honest man indeed but unfortunately an ineffective president
The world needs more Jimmy Carters. Unfortunately, we just lost one :(
The world has way too many idiots like Carter
.
...the ONLY one. There can never be another man like Jimmy Carter.
@montanaboobie Correction. Too many idiots like you.
With the passing of Jimmy Carter, it feels like something good and true is passing in the US. Carter was part of the silent generation who grew up during the great depression. This generation knew sacrifice and how to live with less. I can't help feeling a sadness and also a dread at the timing of his death. 2025 will see the return of Trump; a man who seems to embody the opposite to what Carter stood for. Thank you President Carter for your service, honesty and integrity. May you rest in peace and may God help America.
Carter was actually a later member of the The Greatest Generation, he grew up during the Great Depression, big band, and was part of WW 2. Biden is a late member of the Silent Generation, grew up in the 1940s, 50s, early 60s, and the Beatles and the Vietnam War was more important to his generation. Later Silents like Biden have a lot in common with early Boomers like Bill Clinton and Trump.
🙏💙
Carter would want us to keep striving to be better. Better than we are now. He would want us to keep fighting for a better America. It's because of people like Carter that I refuse to give up on our country.
You already had four years of it with Biden why not take the gamble it’s still bad but at least it’s not Biden
@@Phlegethon Because we know Trump will be worse.
Jimmy Carter was & is loved by many people worldwide, including here in Poland. He was the most moral, ethical, honest president America has ever had! And he was ahead of his time: already in the 80s he supported renewable energy and environmental protection, and installed solar panels on the roof of the White House, he hated war and killing, fought for human rights everywhere, and was the only US president who so fiercely opposed dropping any bombs on another, foreign country, as well as any war and violence in general! That is why he is loved today, especially by young generations all over the globe - because he understood our struggle and our attitude long before some of us were born. He was incredibly modern and visionary for the years in which he ruled. And this is the best testament to him, and proof of his great legacy. I send you as much love as possible from Poland! Rest in peace, great Mr. President, and an even greater man!
Well said. RIP Mr President
The world needs more people like Jimmy Carter now more than ever !
Our new President is going to burn our bridges. Carter brought a kind of humility and modesty to the Oval Office. Trump will bring hatred, anger, bigotry to this sacred office. I apologize on behalf of the sane half of America. Peace with you friend.
Dziękuję ❤ 🫂
Masz rację!
I truly believe that Jimmy Carter was the best President we’ve had. No one can be perfect, but he had traits that we need in leaders: integrity, humility, compassion and common sense. What a good man this world just lost.
Indeed, it was to America’s cost that he didn’t continue and we’ve known that since.
he wasnt the best president, or even one of the best. but he was the best man that held the presidency
@@brobot_8371. Indeed.
He was one of the best, and Joe Biden likewise
@@dolinaj1 Biden doesnt hold a candle to Carter. Biden isnt even in the same ballpark.
I'd add that Carter popped the OPEC oil price bubble - making the "Reagan recovery" possible.
He fought the good fight, and stood up for our best American values. Thank you, sir.

At 100 years of age, Jimmy Carter was the oldest living president, living the longest post-presidency life-44 years.
More importantly, though, and regardless of what history will say about his time in the White House, President Carter didn't run out and begin a lucrative speaking career. (Although many recent names do come to mind that have.)
Instead, Carter went on to establish a nonprofit organization, he wrote books, he continued diplomatic activities around the world, and he even served as a university distinguished professor at Emory. Carter also became the face of Habitat for Humanity. Wow, simply outstanding. Simply put, former President Jimmy Carter spent a lifetime doing good deeds; it is this that he leaves behind, a most revered legacy.
RIP James Earl Carter Jr.
@@foxenvine3573 An extremely moral man guided entirely by his faith and humanity. His presidency was sabotaged because he wasn't a corrupt person and spoke out against racism.
He even taught little kids Sunday school. I would do anything if we could go back to those Carter years many of us got duped into voting for Reagan and it was a mistake
he was a good man
Jimmy Carter is a man of peace, a world class diplomat 🎉
WHAT?
@@steve0509. How was that statement factually incorrect?
@@RobertBruce-f9g He was a terrible diplomat. lol even if you like jimmy carter, his diplomatic endeavors were a failure. Allowing the Shah to fall in Iran, Cuba, and the Panama Canal just to name a few did irreparable damage to this country and the world
The last honest man in Washington. A true man of the people and a statesman.
Not the last. Keep looking for others.

Honorable and humble, gracious and good hearted. How lucky we were to vote for you.
Left his mark on the Panama Canal when he gave it away!! Also, the "Rescue that Failed" mission to rescue embassy hostage in Tehran, Iran was a ridiculous plan he authorized. When the embassy was taken it should have been war!
I was just a kid when Jimmy Carter was elected President. At such a young age, knowing nothing about anything, lol, I was in awe of him. God bless you Jimmy Carter, thank you so much for your service and the endless good things you did for not only our country but the world. You were an amazing human being and should be recognized as one of our greatest Presidents! ♥
A man of greatness. People like this are not appreciated anymore. Our society is in such a state of decay. His eloquence, his great intelligence and humanity has been forgotten.
Yes, now too many settle for bombastic nonsense coming from a convicted felon who learned to lie from his master teacher, the AIDS-infected Roy Cohn. It's in the movie "The Apprentice" a 2024 biographical film that examines the beginning of Trump's public life.
God bless you Jimmy Carter.
Thank you President Carter. . . ... for your heart of gold and your Godly driven love for people, peace and truth. RIP Jimmy Carter
I think the fifty two american hostages would strongly disagree with you
Thank you.😪
Carter, for being the best of us. You will always be remembered.
🪦 R.I.P🫂
A humble, kind and genuine human being. If only there were more people like him in the world, it would be a better place. RIP sir.
Jimmy Carter was definitely the most good and decent man we have ever had as president, and the work he did after his presidency was amazing. He touched many lives and was truly a special person. A life very well lived. Rest in Peace, Jimmy.
I regard former President Jimmy Carter as the greatest president of my lifetime. His leadership was characterized by an unwavering commitment to peace, human rights, and integrity, even in the face of political challenges. President Carter's efforts to broker the Camp David Accords demonstrated his dedication to diplomacy and conflict resolution on a global scale. Domestically, his emphasis on energy independence and environmental stewardship was visionary, addressing challenges that remain critical to this day.
What truly sets President Carter apart, however, is the life he led beyond his presidency. He exemplified humility and service, devoting himself to humanitarian work through the Carter Center, eradicating diseases, monitoring elections, and building homes for those in need. His moral compass and deep compassion for humanity serve as a timeless example of what leadership can achieve when rooted in principle.
I often reflect on what the world might have become had his visionary ideas and exceptional leadership been fully realized. Rest in peace, President Carter, and thank you for a life devoted to making this world a better place for all.
@cherylrleigh1912 Beautiful words.
Beautifully written. Beautifully.
So beautifully said. A lovely summary of a life well lived for the benefit of others.
@@cherylrleigh1912 Let's be honest, Jimmy Carter really lived a Christ-like life, more than any president in US history.
No wonder God rewarded him with a long life.
A decent bloke who served with integrity and did his best.
From NZ: Thank-you for trying. RIP President Carter ❤
Someone here, literally a half world away from the US, who understands him better that the average Knucklehead US citizen. I salute you.
Respect for Jimmy Carter. There is a small long term care center in Plains, GA. People would often leave their child or parent, brother or sister who could no longer care for themselves. Some, left just outside the door... some who could not speak for themselves carried notes written by their loved ones, hoping that their love one would be taken in. Jimmy took them in. Jimmy lived the life (24/7)... "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!". The New Colossus (1883)

I totally agree with yiu!!!
I've been reading up a lot about President Carter even before he died, and was truly impressed by his integrity and morals. An inspirational man, who cared about the welfare of people round the world.
RIP Jimmy. Thank you for your kindness, humility, and dedication to peace. We love you!❤

How I wish I could live in a long age like him and put my energy for peace and democracy. RIP, Jimmy!
I believe you can live like him, eat healthy and make sure you're safe, above all God is the greatest. Happy New Year to you and your family 🎈🥳
Hope your day is going well over there in good health with your family? God bless you 🙏
What’s crazy when ppl blame Iran hostage crisis on Carter is that in the very last days of his presidency he was up all night negotiating for the release of the hostages, but new evidence squarely affirms that Reagan’s surrogates persuaded the Iranian’s to not agree to the release until Reagan was sworn in. The final insult to Carter and a triumph Reagan deserved zero for since he did none of the work when Carter actually was. He was a man of value and still got the hostage deal done and did not let this insult prevent his ego from getting it done. Manny men would be lesser and couldn’t successfully do such a thing. He was also a direct engineer and officer working on the first nuclear navy back in the 50s which is crazy for naval historians
Nixon did the same with to LBJ with Paris Peace Accords. Bunch of traitors.
"After helping to hold 40 million other people hostage to the Mullahs."
The only reason why the hostages were taken was the fact that he welcomed the Shah. That’s why they were released after Regan was sworn in.
That was the start of the plutocracy. You Trump voters sure love your misery. Oligarchy of Idiocracy.
Left his mark on the Panama Canal when he gave it away!! Also, the "Rescue that Failed" mission to rescue embassy hostage in Tehran, Iran was a ridiculous plan he authorized. When the embassy was taken it should have been war!
Jimmy is a wonderful man with a great heart. My high respect ! RIP
President Jimmy Carter, a man of great principles, integrity, kindness. Our condolences to the family, RIP.
Carter was a man ahead of his time. He should have been president maybe in the 90s.
He was a great man.
and founded the east timor genocide
This man truly has the blue prints for world peace let’s dust off these books and get to work. Yes people it takes work and compromise. Thank you Mr. President for your service and never broke one promise.
Jimmy was a great human being.
I’m glad to see some of the highlights of his presidency being shown here. He was definitely a controversial president, but was a master diplomat, an excellent statesman, and over all probably one of the best people on a personal level to hold the office of president.
Jimmy wants to be remembered for the goodness he brought to this world. Caring for others.
President Jimmy Carter has integrity and honest, which are hard to be found these days!

As a Ukranian who is so worried for my country , I think that president of US now like this could be a lifeline for my country who fights for human rights , morals and freedom . It sounds surreal there was once a president in US like this .

Beautiful relics. 🕊
Jimmy Carter was often criticized for being "weak" or "soft", but in hind-sight he actually turned out to be one of the strongest we've recently had.
President Carter is my HERO. I will never forget him. Or everything he has done for US. One term President. Because he couldn’t be BOUGHT. His faith was with US. And GOD
He lost because he was weak and high inflation, 40 years later Biden broke his inflation record and adopted his weak foreign policy and only lasted one term.
Well said.😊

A beautiful human, profoundly deep and grounded. Grateful he blessed our country and the world. May his legacy shine always.
What a legacy! He was so underrated.
Thank you for being a great example of a leader any nation will do well to have. Thank you for your humility, dedication, and fatih.

He wasn't afraid to speak against the apartheid in Gaza
He wrote a book, "Palestine, Peace not Apartheid". He wanted human rights for all.
He was true compassion. I met him when I was 12. He made sure our Southern farmers and people of Colour treated equally.
What a legend! The whole world thanks Carter for this service.
I think why many dictators, statesman and president called Carter is because he was a reasonable guy you could talk to. Rest in Peace from Sweden ❤
Great testimony thanks for sharing. Rest in peace meet you in heaven

Only thankful President Carter won't have to live through the next 4 years. This great man was under appreciated in his own country during his lifetime, but the rest of the world valued and loved him.
You’re mostly right, but I for one have always valued him. 😊 Surprisingly, I am seeing such an outpouring of people who felt like I do about Pres. Carter. So many comments on different channels, even mainstream media. And I watch the reporters interviewing people who knew him personally. Their faces show a kind of affection you don’t see often on newspeople. I only wish we would have honored him when he was alive and able to see and hear all the accolades he is being given right now.
Amy and I are the same age. I was 10 and very much remember how cool it was that she got to live in the whitehouse. I always loved to see her on tv.
Thank u Sir for all that u had done to us.
RIP Sir 🙏
He was a great person. He helped Bangladesh with humanitarian assistance.
He put values and peace over power.
Rest in peace Mr. President. Thank you Mr. Carter for your service and beautiful legacy.
This man had an intellect and ethics that we so miss in politics now.
I maintain that President Carter was a better president than most people give him credit for. He was thrust into very trying circumstances that he had to clean up.
He was a wonderful man ❤ ahead of his time asking us to use sun for our energy in 1976 (solar energy) after being our President he spent his time building homes for Habitat for Humanity & was always engaged in helping others ❤
President Carter was really something! ❤
The Peaceful president
Wow I didn't know Carter played a significant role in institutionalizing the practice of independent, international election observation. What an amazing man. Everyone talks about the US as an imperialist war mongering nation, which to some extent is true, but stuff like this should not be overlooked.
The greatest ever♥️🕊️
He had one term but his impact has touched the whole world,so terms really do not make a great man but his heart does.
President Carter will be remembered for his Love of Country, Constitution, People. Served our Country will Respect & Honor, A Love Affair with Mrs Carter, They're Love will & is Eternal Enduring. His True Faith, a Man of God. The World Will Always be Great because of President Carter showing the world Humanitarian. Love. Faith❤❤❤❤ Love Honor Respect 🙏 🫡 ❤️

He was a great man in many many ways but most of all He was a true Christian and that was also behind what guided him his entire life. He was the first presidential candidate I voted for as I had just turned 18. I have always admired him as an awesome role model. Even the story regarding the Iran hostages being released only on the day Reagan began his presidency because Carter was a christian. He has and will always be remembered for the great man he was. I'm sure God has rewarded him greatly. R.I.P. Jimmy and God bless your family.

President Carter who was an extraordinary human being, represented the best of the American spirit. A man of deep faith, dedicated to service. Honest, generous, modest, compassionate and kind. He was a visionary who inspired people all over the world as humanitarini, peacemaker, advocate foe human rights, democracy, social justice and civil rights. An environmentalist and work to eradicate disease. RIP ❤
Rest in peace georgia will forever miss you ❤
I grew up in Georgia when he was my governor and I remember the 1976 election. I went to university at Emory and was able to meet him. I also met his mother in Plains, Georgia. My friend built houses with him and Habitat for Humanity. He was a kind, intelligent and giving man. Thank you, President Carter, for all that you have done in your 100 years.
