the jimmy carter i think one of the great presidents the twentieth century
he was one of the only presidents to have not have a war
during the his presidency he did not he did not go often star or hernia like
reagan did you know i didn't have like a little war of convenience
uh... george herbert walker bush allah still higher days and you know quedo
what's george w_ bush a christmas wars
june cardinal
he created a department of energy and the department of education
to make america energy independent
and well-educated
this is why it we have bill bennett was running and has been the primary is
ronald reagan in nineteen eighty
on a platform of doing away with the department of education wish jimmy
carter had just created
and the whole point of a part of education was so that kids were born in
import i neighborhoods in poor areas
could have access to funding so that they can come up to the stand as a kids
who were
lucky enough to be born wealthy enough orders
but not only did jimmy carter say we will never
import more or l or for a while and we did last year
u_s_ step beyond that
by two thousand just thirteen years ago
by the year two thousand he was going to have twenty percent of the electricity
in this country produced by solar energy and he started with the white house
it with solar panels on the white house
here's jimmy carter on
all sorts of legislation for congress
however the creative albert first solid
orkut
crucial go ahead controversial
uh... energy coming from solar power
year two thousand
there you go by the year two thousand twenty percent any did it
when the reason i were in vermont
well with the two three weeks ago i idea that uh... keynote address at goddard
college
and i'd be outside of montpellier and we were staying with our friends alysha
like oh and they live in a house off the grid
there's literally no electricity line coming to their house
they a solar panels on the run as a fairly large house and it's like
through four bedrooms it's its
snot someone track
and it's it's justice
totally solar
totally off the grid
and it was built during the last year the carter presidency as were sore
houses and vermont is like a really cold place
and but this was as were
houses all over the country
when you find solar house as you will almost universally fine you'll discover
that they were built
in the nineteen eighties in the in the in the late nineteen seventies slightly
last two years the carter administration may be the first year the reagan
administration before you do away with carter's subsidies
and tax credits
for for building sore
does that sound carter was gonna do it he was going to have it the market was
going to write it was maybe a government program it was
tax breaks tax credits tax incentives
for people who are going solar
so we would have that we probably have
peace between israelis and palestinians
he won a nobel peace prize
for the work you is doing us
and he would have finished it
if reagan and stole that election
his documentary called back to our channels the price of peace
him and he has nine
it says that it was carter's effort to camp david between the brought peace
between israel and egypt
will bring the only meaningful peace and the middle east
schools all over america would be better
exceeded critical of education care about schools
is a very smart card is a guy who had a a believe he has a p_h_d_ in nuclear
energy he was he worked on nuclear subs when he was in the uh... immunity
the taxer rate
on rich people during the carter presidency
was seventy four percent
not wasn't sonya four percent a first time it doesn't always yearned the first
two hundred it was it was in today's dollars it was set it was seventy four
percent roughly on the after you're in your first two or three million dollars
then
the seventy-four percent rate exit
as a progressive taxation works
well what would that have meant it would have meant that
just like the air a from
nineteen thirty five to nineteen eighty two when the top tax rate was above
fifty percent
there were no bubbles never know bursts
there was no boom there was no bust
because money was
dear money was hard to get and a lot of money really fetched
ones reagan dropped at top tax rate that all of a sudden hello boyle you know the
rich bridged
got richer faster if esther faster they started looking for big rates returned i
am write this money pastels nothing at this myself at twenty five percent
return thirty percent ad time really that might lose it all but what that was
and what do you get to give bowls
were still there
so we would not have had the economic disaster that we've had we would still
we would have a good strong healthy economy
civil rights
he in his inaugural speech he said the era of segregation is over
discrimination has no place in the future of the state
and by the way he was the first office holder in the deep south fifth say such
a thing in public
he played afro-americans a statewide boards offices
ute he often called he was often called one of the new southern governors much
more moderate than their predecessors and actually a name for the use of new
solar governor
what mother it is not a racist
in seventy nine lug canal happened
as in the middle of his presidency
he moved eight hundred families other neighborhood
and created the superfund
yet jimmy carter created the superfund
the deal with us
in seventy and the soviets invaded afghanistan
now reagan the year later said oh well it's targeting weapons the mujahadeen
to this guy named a sound in line
and he will fight the soviets
the carter
instead sudden morris comport cannot be must go on for tonight a
we said we will make a moral statement rather than a military state
and in the years since
jimmy carter was president
he visit cuba may two thousand two
and he he gave a speech
which he wrote in spanish and english heard in spanish and cable television
uncensored
and castro did not even though it is in sight
any condemn castro
in two thousand seven dino most nelson mandela this trip will be elders in both
houses in vietnam
you're listening to become hartman program colleagues execs nineteen
seventy-eight chilam
on johnnie and jennifer
we we need to resend rehabilitate the family of jimmy carter
and anytime anybody sees a promise for answer yes
quite i wish
