Look, he had an amazing life, both in politics and out of politics. So I think it's great to be able to celebrate Carter. And he's probably going to be remembered more for the work that he did after he left the White House rather than those chaotic four years that he spent in Washington in the late 1970s.

Absolutely. No brainer. As you should. Right here at the beginning, let's be clear. Jimmy Carter, he did a lot of things in his post-presidential time. His legacy goes well beyond his battle with guinea worms. You know, he became an advocate for Habitat for Humanity. He was out there actually swinging a hammer with them, building houses in the U.S. and in other places.

He was a major champion for human rights. He continued to work on peace in the Middle East. You know, he was working on elections. He helped negotiate some really sticky political stalemates in Central America. And for all of that work, he was recognized not just in the U.S., but globally.

Yeah. And that was in 2002. And he had two more decades ahead of him. And one of the things that he worked on was trying to eradicate this really horrible disease called guinea worm.

So the World Health Organization has a list of so-called neglected tropical diseases. You know, these are diseases in need of more research, more treatment. He, however, had a former employee from the White House who got involved with working on clean water. And this guy came. gave this pitch to Carter, and Carter was like, this is doable.
