take us back to modern presidents; i mean, you looked at jimmy carter. >> jimmy carter. he had a rough landing after his presidency, which is not atypical. so jimmy carter loses in a landslide to ronald reagan, and he comes home to plains, georgia, and there he finds that his business, his peanut business, is a million dollars in debt, that his house is in need of repair, and literally, the forest has come right up to his back step, their back step. and it was kind of this metaphor for jimmy carter's life. how does he navigate through the thicket, how does he have meaning in his life, after he was a one-term, relatively unpopular president? so that was his challenge. >> woodruff: and he was in his mid-50s. >> he was. he was 56. >> woodruff: so how did he go about figuring out what he would do? >> when you look at carter, what you saw was a man who was, his personality, he was very smart, very ambitious, and he had a kind of biblical ethos. in fact, walter mondale told me that jimmy carter said, "you know, when this is all over, i want to be a missionary." so there's that

he gets in the car with jimmy carter and starts rattling on about his buddy jack warner. well, jerry, who was a lot more sophisticated, he washorked for ca carter, he calls up and says who is jack warner? meanwhile jimmy carter is worried about the hostages getting out, 52 americans to get out and the iranians to screw carter held them right through the inauguration, anything to bring him down. the russians were not the first to play this dirty game. >> reagan, after that ride with carter, he asked his staff what's the matter with carter? he seems so preoccupied. >> he's got hostages. maybe reagan knew they were getting out. >> he's got stuff on his mind. >> i spent that inauguration on the corner of pennsylvania avenue freezing to death. i was one of the reporters up there. as we look at that front door of the white house, i'm reminded of one of the more bizarre incidents that happened during the obama presidency when the guy came over the fence and made it all the way to that door. an intruder inside the door and down to the east room before they were able to -- before

as you might know jimmy carter banned people coming from iran, one of the seven countries we're dealing with. although i don't want to say that this was perfectly executed by any means and there has been some confusion, i think we have to put it in perspective, it's temporary. it does not target people, per se, based on religion and, quite frankly, most of the critics are saying other countries should be added if you want to catch all terrorists. that's sort of a counter message i keep hearing. >> but here's the thing. it's a combination of things that make people believe this

and an interesting thing is how hard a moment that is because in 1981 when jimmy carter was the outgoing president, as you know, he was trying to get american hostages released from iran. and at 12:0 1, one of the aides

jimmy carter is off to the right. here's bill clinton in 1993. here's 1985. reagan's second inauguration, it was a different locale. the weather was sod bad so the parade was cancelled the move the oath, take indoors into the capitol rotunda and weather has been a problem other times. this is from 1889. a lot of rain for the inauguration of benjamin harrison, and then in 19 ha -- 1945, this is the franklin d. roosevelt's fourth inauguration. the war was going on. he was not feeling well and everything was moved to the white house. he took the oath on -- at the -- one of to ball -- ball copies at the white house. roost had four inaugurations. barack obama is about to tie franklin d. roosevelt's record. thaw could that be? he we barack obama was naught raid televize. the 21 is in a sunday, and he took the oath on january 20th january 20th and then he had one publicly on the 21st. hires eisenhower in 1957, on sunday, private ceremony. inaugural trace. a very old picture. this is from 1865, this is abraham lincoln's second inauguration, said "with malice toward n

we then see bill clinton working so hard to match the high standards set by jimmy carter. indulge me, one important antidote -- anecdote. clinton goes in and embraces and tries to get that famous picture shaking hands. it was the magic of the 90's. it was the magical time when the soviet union is falling apart and germany was divided and nabbing united. there is peace now breaking out in northern island. there is peace breaking out in south africa. it seems like we have a shot at peace. the clinton is very clear, he is criticisms of the israelis but in his memoirs he says that in his last days of the white house, when yitzhak rabin came to visit him he says that i am a failure because of you. we could have had peace and you weren't ready to make that. when palestinian leaders are willing to do this is what will happen. it was only after 9/11 and after the korean eight incident where armaments were being shipped from iran to the palestinians were intercepted by the israelis. despite the fact that the israelis sent george w. bush a big packet but forgot to tell the media, th

in fact, it was said, jimmy carter in 1977. you.view -- fooled life is aage is that river. [laughter] prof. troy: history is a journey. one of the things that frustrates me especially in the clinical period we're going through right now is we are so quick to judge, so quick to label. anti-israel, pro-israel. every single person we are talking about today is pro-israel. there are truly anti-israel forces in the world, and i never want to recruit someone who is a critic of israel to those awful forces who reject the right of israel to exist. we have to be more careful, more deliberate in our language. for if we criticize someone not being superficially supportive of israel or in israel policy. when jimmy carter said that in 1977, the start of his journey -- just because he said something then, it does not stop him from writing an awful, evil book accusing israel of apartheid when he did not even make the case in his book but simply put it as his title. this is a way of saying, let's enter into a journey where we will see complexity. told you to put your phone on mute, let's t

some more pictures to show you, this is ronald reagan swearing in 1981, jimmy carter outgoing president the right of the picture. here is bill clinton in 1993. now here is 1985. this is reagan's second inauguration. notice the different locale. the reason is because the weather was so bad in washington d.c. in 1985, he was a windchill factor of below zero. so everything got canceled, the parade got canceled, they moved the oath taken indoors into the capitol rotunda. so they were only about a thousand people squeezed in. the weather has been a problem other times as i mentioned. this is from 1989. this is benjamin harrison. then in 1945, this was franklin d roosevelt for the inauguration. the world was going on, he was not feeling well and was ill. everything was moved to the white house. he took the oath on Ãi one of the balconies they are at the white house. so, you know fdr had for inauguration. this is my tribute for you for the day. you will be able to impress your friends. barack obama about to type franklin d roosevelt's record. how could that be you say? roosevelt was inaugurat

another little bit of history, jimmy carter, president jimmy carter was the only president to walk the entire length. and a lot are thinking about that today, particularly with this rain. it's held off a little bit right now and wondering if and when we will see president trump, the 45th president now get out now and walk. and our bets are on he might get out when we pass his hotel. trump hotel which opened back in september. some of his plea employees might come out to cheer him on. and of course it's customary sometimes to take that final stretch down pennsylvania avenue to the white house. and actually walk that. so, still remains a question, remains up to the first family. to decide what they'd like to do. as of right now, they are passing by thousands of supporters who are excited to see him now, the 45th president. brian. >> kristen welker, thanks. a very slow motorcade, no faster than people can walk as you can see. they have indeed passed by the department of labor. craig melvin, our next stop along the way, craig. >> reporter: brian, the announcer just came up and just told th

because you had jimmy carter, our 39th president, still trying to release the hostages up all night on the phone as president-elect reagan was coming over to the white house and so here you had a very much of a working white house until noon when ronald reagan took over on that date. do you remember what happened? >> actually, i do, i was there that night, all night long. i had taken over some beverages during the course of the evening because everybody else was gone. the president's staff with the exception of his advisers that were in the oval office with him had pretty much departed. that operation was obviously taking place with the national security council people but the majority of the rest of the staff had already moved on and moved out. so there was a lot that was going on. as i said, i took over some beverages during the course of the evening, orange juice, coffee, tea, water, couple pillows, couple blankets and it was a very intense time as you and many others remember. it was something that we -- none of us knew what was going to occur leading up to inaugural day. were they

jimmy carter and ronald reagan's was very, very tense. the funniest ones of these journeys was when theodore roosevelt decided not to run and william howard taft came in. and it was snowing in dc here like crazy. and r. kept saying, this is my blizzard, ts is my snow. and taft was like, no, this is my inaugural. theodore roosevelt was making it all about himself. >> teddy roosevelt, in his second inaugural, actually wore a ring that had a lock of abraham lincoln's hair. assess did, it was given to him by john hay. hay had an incredible story, he was abraham lincoln's assistant, he took some of the death beard hairs and it got passed on. hay became secretary of state. >> that's jackie evancho, she'll be singing at the inauguration, a huge moment for her. as we watch more and more people arriving. cameras are not obviously in where president obama -- and staff, david, you're saying are not involved either. >> no, this is something just between them. >> i think it's important to stress that this is the 45th president in the long history of o

jimmy carter did. that presidency didn't end great. you can't necessarily tell something from strong numbers at the beginning or weak numbers at the beginning. what is your sense how this president will personally connect with the american people? >> i don't think this president is going to be as concerned about the numbers or about the poll numbers. i think he likes to be popular. but i think he will be popular if he leads decisively and speaks decisively. if he gets lost in the poll numbers. neil: he has ability to go over congress's head. to go over republicans and democrats head. he mentioned earlier and will still challenge those who might challenge him by doing that. , moving -- it works. would it work for him? >> yes. this is a modern day and modern era, social media, twitter, facebook and opportunity for the president to have access to the people directly through those mediums. tweeting is actually in effect going over the heads of the establishment, so-called establishment, speaking directly to the people. you said, well, some

jimmy carter ban muslims based on their definition now, he wouldn't allow iranians to come into america during the iranian hostage crisis. all we are saying is we want the right to vet you. make sure you are coming here with peaceful intentions. that does not seem unreasonable in any way to me. >> there are two parts to that. being allowed to come to america as a noncitizen is a privilege, not a right. therefore we ought to measure it that way. the second thing, and this is what i think is truly historically disturbing by the news coverage over the last four or five days and by the language of left-wing democrats who are 's totally irresponsible -- millions of muslims around the world, 1 billion plus people heard donald trump supposing a muslim ban. that is a total lie. indonesia is the most popular muslim country in the world, they are not banned. india is the second. they are not banned. go down the list. as you pointed out, you have the king of saudi arabia, he talked yesterday with president trump. the head of the united arab emirates talk to him. this morning you had president trum

jimmy carter's demonstrated inability to govern our nation. i have faith in the greatness of the people of this country. this country has everything it always had before except the leadership in washington this country requires. >> reagan put a lot of energy and effort into 1980. the economy had been through a recession and in addition that, the united states had been embarrassed by the iran hostage crisis. the country wanted to turn the corner and ronald reagan held the promise of all of that. >> america is turning to a new political direction for at least the next four years. to the right. republican. ronald reagan rode the land slide to the white house and republicans swept control of the senate for the first time in a quarter century. >> reagan conveyed a sense of optimism and hope. the secret to his success was that he made people feel good. >> even though reagan had been a fairly successful governor of the largest state of the union, he was still doubted for his odd background for a politician as having been an actor and he was controver
