00:00
I, Jimmy Carter, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President
00:29
of the United States and will, to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend
00:42
the Constitution of the United States. So help me God. Congratulations.
00:51
I want to thank my predecessor for all he has done to heal our land. We must adjust
01:02
to changing times and still hold to unchanging principles.
01:14
These are the kind of elements of a national health insurance important to the American
01:17
people. Governor Reagan, again, typically is against such a proposal.
01:22
Governor, there you go again.
01:26
I believe with all my heart that America must always stand for these basic human rights
01:32
at home and abroad. That is both our history and our destiny. America did not invent human
01:42
rights. In a very real sense, it's the other way around. Human rights invented America.
01:52
Newsweek had me on their cover, I think, seven times in 1975 and 76. And they said I set
01:58
a record for cover stories that no one's ever broken since. So I'm grateful to them in a
02:03
way.
02:06
You think we're closer to war today than we should be?
02:11
I think we have let the world know that our country is no longer the foremost proponent
02:18
or user of negotiations and diplomacy, and that our country's first reaction to a troubled
02:25
area on earth is to try to inject American military forces or threats as our nation's
02:34
policy.
02:38
My hope is, and my expectation is, that leaders in the entertainment world, in the political
02:44
world, the business and professional world will all join in a common effort to make this
02:49
fundraising program in the next few weeks highly successful.
02:57
Well, I think it's not only a recognition of wonderful work that has been done by the
03:04
recipients, but also it's an inspiration to others to try to emulate what they've done.
03:09
I just feel like we've had a good partnership. Everybody's worked together. And look at the
03:13
families' faces, you can tell how I feel.
03:16
Well, as you would certainly imagine, or perhaps know, being president of the greatest nation
03:23
on earth gives that chosen leader an opportunity to do a lot of things, sometimes mistaken,
03:31
sometimes in doubt, but sometimes very gratifying and charged with wisdom.
03:38
We've had eight months of fairly detailed analysis of the issues that the next president
03:44
will face, now identified, obviously, as President-elect George Bush. Our purpose with the American
03:50
agenda is not to set the agenda for the next president. We want to give him some options
03:57
or advice or analyses, which quite often is difficult for a candidate.
04:01
Well, Rosalyn and I are very proud of Atlanta and very proud of Atlanta Project. You can
04:07
see what a wonderful future we have to offer here in Atlanta. And Rosalyn and I from Plains,
04:12
Georgia, are very glad to be part of the great future of the greatest city in the whole nation
04:18
and the whole world, Atlanta, Georgia.
04:20
Some people have called you a political missionary.
04:25
Well, I think I'm more of a missionary than I'm a politician. I never have been intrigued
04:34
with politics. I never have really liked the political world.
04:38
I'm on Tim's show, Home Improvement. He often demonstrates ways to improve your existing
04:43
home, but Habitat for Humanity, a project that Rosalyn and I hold dear to our hearts,
04:48
actually builds home from scratch.
04:55
As I am today, I was concerned about human rights, and I was concerned about the well-being
05:15
of the working people of this country.
05:24
I think that what ties us all together is common concepts of justice, of peace, humility,
05:41
service of others, compassion, unselfish love. Those kinds of human traits or ambitions
05:54
are common all over the world.
05:58
So, Habitat is cutting the cutting edge of providing affordable homes for people who
06:04
are willing to work. They have to work 500 hours, who are desperately in need.
06:10
You really like mixing and mingling with the people. How much fun is that?
06:14
Well, these were the same people, or either their parents were the ones that put me in
06:17
the Governor's Mansion, or they were the ones that put me in the Governor's Mansion.
06:20
You really like mixing and mingling with the people. How much fun is that?
06:23
Well, these were the same people, or either their parents were the ones that put me in
06:26
the Governor's Mansion, or they were the ones that put me in the Governor's Mansion.
06:50
Well, you're such an inspiration for all those fighting cancer. What would you say
07:02
to them, and how has Roslyn and her support helped you through this?
07:07
Well, her support has helped me for the last 69 years since we've been married, and everything
07:12
I've ever tried. And, of course, when I was ill, I thought I might die any time, and she
07:18
was there for me. But my immune system seems to be responding.
07:26
Not getting re-elected is considered to be a failure, but I have found since living in
07:32
the White House that I've had a very gratifying and, I think, productive life with the Carter
07:39
Center. We've been able to monitor 107 different troubled elections. It may not have gone well
07:46
had we not been there.
07:47
I've given some advice to the Carter Center. This may be the last conversations that Rosa
07:53
and I will ever have with you. I'm 95 years old. I was just starting to take 20 years
07:59
off my age. And Rosa is 92, so now you know her age as well. She might get on me when
08:08
I get home with her tonight. But anyway, this may be our last conversations with you.
