"My name is Jimmy Carter, and I'm running for President" ...

... And that's how Jimmy Carter began his speech accepting the presidential nomination ... at the Democratic Convention ... July 15, 1976.
But in this episode of C-SPAN's podcast "The Weekly," that's the only clip you'll hear of Jimmy Carter talking about himself.

Because this episode is all about what President Carter said ... about other presidents.

Like the man who defeated him when he ran for re-election in 1980... Ronald Reagan

"Under President Ronald Reagan, our nation stood strong and resolute and made possible the beginning of the end of the cold war. This has led to a new opportunity for our country to exhibit its greatness which we accept for granted too often, more clearly to people around the world."

What did President Carter say about other presidents -- from Richard Nixon through Joe Biden?
