Savage critiques Jimmy Carter's presidency and legacy, expressing skepticism towards the media's favorable portrayal of him despite his notable failures. He highlights economic issues like high inflation and foreign policy blunders, such as the Iran hostage crisis and the handling of the Panama Canal. He blasts Carter's failures such as the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the consequences of U.S. foreign policies that led to the spread of radical Islam. He then reads from his satirical book "The Political Zoo." He argues that personal virtues do not translate to effective governance, suggesting that even an average neighbor could perform better than Carter, whose decisions were weak and damaging. He also condemns Carter's post-presidency actions, including certifying Hamas's electoral victory, while disputing the results of the 2000 U.S. presidential election. Savage features other political figures like Hillary Clinton and George Soros depicted in "The Political Zoo". Savage uses humor and satire to emphasize the misrepresented legacy created by the mainstream media.
