Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Previously on Your Morning Show with Michael dil Jono.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
As always, I'm sitting suffering an illness on my couch
watching the arrival of James Earl Carter, the thirty ninth
President of the United States, on a carriage that carried
the casket of Abraham Lincoln. John F. Kennedy he made
his arrival. I'm sitting there taking it all in. John

(00:25):
Decker standing there living it as always, living a better
life than me, and I think we were both taken
by the remembrances both of a Republican leader of the Senate,
a Republican leader of the House, and Vice President Kamala Harris.
It was just the right tone, the right remembrance, and
just a very very moving ceremony yesterday. What was it

(00:48):
like to be so close to it?

Speaker 3 (00:50):
Yeah, beautiful eulogies that were delivered by the three people
that you mentioned. You know, it's something that you know,
you have to appreciate. It doesn't happen that often, a
celebration of the life of Jimmy Carter, a celebration of
the life of a former president. It happened in twenty
eighteen when George H. W. Bush left us, and I
attended that funeral at the National Cathedral, and the funeral

(01:13):
for Jimmy Carter will take place tomorrow. All the former
living presidents will be there, including President elect Donald Trump
and President Joe Biden will deliver the eulogy. So five
presidents in attendance at Jimmy Carter's funeral tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
So, you know, you get on talk radio and of
course everything's very partisan, and I get that. You know,
I've stood my ground. I am first and foremost a believer,
long before I'm an American, and I'm not even a
Democrat or a Republican anymore. Not interested in the Democrat
Party because I don't share the worldview or policy views
that they do, and disgusted with the Republican Party that

(01:50):
often doesn't live what its platform states. I don't know
that we're to be anything other than one nation under God,
in divisible with liberty and justice for all, not a
two party system. A fan of either, I thought, in
a very difficult situation. I mean, I guess Kamala Harris
got the most politically narrative in his remembrance, but I
thought it was wonderful, and maybe I've been thirsting for

(02:11):
it for the American people to be able to have
a ceremony like this where Republicans and Democrats can sit
in the room and not make they could not turn
this humble man, this faithful servant of his Lord and
savior and family and country into a political football. I
love that.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
Yeah, I think that that is a nice thing about
our country. You know, when you do see that, when
you view that, and you'll see that, you know, take
place tomorrow as well, all the leaders Republicans, Democrats paying
tribute to one of our presidents, one of the people
who have held that office is many presidents have acknowledged
it's a very distinct and select club. And tomorrow we'll

(02:51):
see that club, you know, get together once again. It
will be a visual to send the world that you know, America,
despite all our divisions, comes together to remember the life
of a person who did what he thought was best
for America from a very early age. You know, when
he when he became a member of the military, when

(03:12):
he attended the Naval Academy, when he served our country
in uniform, to serving as Georgia's governor until running for
president in nineteen seventy six, winning the presidency and serving
for four years. Yes, it wasn't that a successful presidency,
but look at what he accomplished also after he was

(03:33):
a no longer president, was a private citizen. That's pretty remarkable.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
Bible studies and building homes for the needy, that's what
he did.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
You know.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
I wish there was a way to book you one time,
just as a guest, not a reporter, because I would
love to do a half hour with you on going
over these numbers of how presidents are remembered and rated.
Time is very unkind to some, it's kinder to others.
It's looking really unkind to Joe Biden, who will be there,
the oldest living president who is still a sitting president,

(04:02):
and eutilogizing a former president. But all this history is
happening and you get to live it. John Decker, thanks
for joining us.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
Miss a little, miss a lot, and we'll miss you.
It's your morning show with Michael del Churno.
