It is a crisis of confidence. Former president Jimmy Carter may be most well known for his presidency, but it's the years after that may ultimately leave the biggest legacy. He was the only president to use the White House as a stepping stone to greater things. Carter at 98 is the longest living president and the one to have the longest post presidency. He dedicated himself to causes
around the world in the more than four decades after he left the White House. He as a ex president is certainly going to be remembered for setting the gold standard for a former president. The Carter Center founded just one year after he left Washington has helped people in dozens of countries around the world. One of the main focuses eradicating the guinea warm parasite in developing countries
in part by improving access to safe drinking water. When the center began its war work on this in 1986, three and a half million people were infected with the disease. He often joked at the Carter Center that he wanted to live longer than the last guinea warm. The Carter Center has spent decades now wiping out millions of cases of guinea warm disease, which is a terrible
affliction. And there are now, I think in 2022, there were only 13 cases in human beings of guinea warm disease. He's almost made it. He's been no stranger to the road, traveling to build homes every year for habitat for humanity and globally to monitor elections. A broker of peace between Egypt and Israel. Carter continued to put the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians as well as
concerns with Hamas and Fata's control of Palestinians in his portfolio. In 2002, he earned a Nobel Peace Prize for his post presidency efforts. That sense of mission, that sense of doing good in the world. Will continue and I think that's going to be its biggest legacy.
