Speaker 1 (00:00):
Do we have John Decker, our White House correspondent, and
I might add Supreme Court bar attorney joining us once again,
as I always say, living a far more glamorous life
than I. When Bono got his life his highest civilian
honor award from President Biden, you were just feet away.
But I was telling you off the air. I was

(00:21):
never a big I think it's just a slight age
difference between us that causes this. I'm more Kansas, led Zeppelin, Boston,
that kind of music I never got bon Jovi never
got you too. But Bono very very well deserving recipient.
You were there for all of that big week in
Washington right starting today.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
Yeah, it's a huge week. That was the start of
the week, essentially the Medal of Freedom awards that were
bestowed on Saturday at the White House. But as you
point out, we've got a busy week. The certification of
the presidential election that happens a little after one pm
Eastern time today in both the House and the Senate.
As you point out, the Vice President Amala Harris will

(01:00):
preside over that process in the US Senate. And then
the rest of the week certainly has a busy time
for Washington, d C. With former President Jimmy Carter lying
in repose at the Capitol, and then of course the
funeral happening at the National Cathedral that will take place
on Thursday.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
Yeah, and I think you know, when you're an American president,
it becomes an American funeral, all right. So America all
has to say in this as opposed to when you
and I die. When you and I die, I hope
nobody's talking well out If you want me to out
come and do your funeral, if I'm still here, I'd
love to talk about your love for tennis, your greatness
at tennis, your greatness as a reporter, as an attorney.

(01:40):
But I would hate to have anybody just remember me
as a talk show host. That's so little of what
I am in terms of being a husband, a father,
a friend, so on and so forth. Jimmy Carter and
people will point to the meddling in Iran that led
to the rise of the Islamic Republic of Iran and
the Iya told in the hostage crisis, some domestic policy

(02:04):
failures as maybe or maybe not a good president. Most
would probably agree not, but he still was a man
of great faith and he was a good husband and
a great father, and he lived what he believed and
he served others his entire life. I'm trying to remember
a habitat for humanity among the least of them. This
is a good guy and he needs to be remembered.

(02:25):
There should be more than just a partisan political view
of this man's life.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
Well, that's exactly right. You know, I think you're going
to see a bipartisan approach to remembering our nation's thirty
ninth president and all the good works that he pursued
after the presidency. Use relatively young after his first and
only term as the president of the United States, and
he had to figure out what it was what he
was going to do with the rest of his life.

(02:50):
And you know, I think he paved a pathway for
other former and ex presidents in terms of what they
will do if they're a young age when they leave
the presidency, what they will do with the rest of
their lives. You know about the Clinton Foundation president a
former president. Barack Obama has his own foundation, and George W.

(03:11):
Bush also pursues good works as a former president.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
And I think the.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
Path for that was really fed by Jimmy Carter and
all of those presidents that I mentioned, they will be
at the National Cathedral for the Future of this coming
Thursday to celebrate the life of Jimmy Carter.
