Here, in this wide-ranging dialogue, Jimmy Carter has some surprising things to say about the presidential election of 2000 and the Florida vote count. He also speaks poignantly of his rural, southern roots, which did so much to shape his values and worldview of today. Carter also responds with candor and heart to the questions as to what words of wisdom he would impart to the new president, George W. Bush, and what advice he would give to Bill Clinton in leaving the White House. (hosted by Michael Toms)
