From the Archives: Jimmy Carter Reflects on China and on Human Rights
Just over a week ago, the Carter Center announced that Jimmy Carter had entered hospice care. To conclude our series of excerpts from interviews with the former president on The Brian Lehrer Show archives, we hear him speak about China from 2015 and about the use of sanctions from 2010. Then, Jonathan Alter, MSNBC analyst, author of the substack newsletter, "Old Goats," and the book, His Very Best: Jimmy Carter, a Life (Simon & Schuster, 2020), joins Brian to reflect on the former president's accomplishments after leaving office.
