About this episode
America’s longest-living commander in chief, President Jimmy Carter, has passed away at the age of 100. He leaves behind a storied legacy, not just as the 39th president of the United States, but as a veteran, entrepreneur, and philanthropist who redefined what kind of impact a leader’s post-presidency could have on the world. Presidential historian and author Jane Hampton Cook joins the podcast to recount the story of President Carter’s life, from his jump from peanut farmer to national politician, and how his persona of integrity met the moment for the tumultuous era in American history that he assumed leadership. She remembers his greatest achievements in office and his passionate partnership with Habitat for Humanity. The first assassination attempt on then-former President Donald Trump's life on July 13, in Butler, Pennsylvania rocked the nation. Now, several months later, lawmakers are still questioning what went wrong. FOX News Sunday anchor Shannon Bream was live on-air when the gunshots went off, she joined the Rundown a few days later to recount the events. Plus, commentary from vice president of communications at Focus on the Family, Paul Batura. (Image Via AP) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
