May 1, 2008 - Former President Jimmy Carter Interviewed by Senator Bill Bradley Exclusively on SIRIUS Satellite Radio
SIRIUS Satellite Radio (Nasdaq: SIRI) today announced that it will broadcast an in-depth interview conducted by former Democratic presidential candidate and SIRIUS host Senator Bill Bradley with former President Jimmy Carter on Sunday, May 4th at 9:30 am ET on SIRIUS Stars channel 102.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/19991118/NYTH125 )
In the interview, Jimmy Carter discusses his recent study mission to the Middle East as well as his thoughts on the role religion plays in United States politics and the current Democratic primary contest. Carter also shares stories about his late mother, Lillian Carter, from his new book A Remarkable Mother.
Below are select quotes from former President Jimmy Carter's interview with Bill Bradley on SIRIUS:
On why the United States has been unable to forge a broader peace in the Middle East, Carter said, "The main reason is that no succeeding President has really made a major effort [in Middle East peace] with any chance to succeed and of course the Israeli's have got to have the United States making a major effort. I can't say that Bill Clinton didn't try but he didn't start until the last year of his term because of political consequences. And of course President Bush claims he's making an effort now. It's very feeble and half hearted but he also started, as you know, in the last year of his term when he's looked upon as a lame duck."
"[In Iraq] I've always been in favor of the Lee Hamilton and James Baker proposal which was consummated after a superb blue ribbon commission studied the whole situation for a year. And I think still that's what we should have done. President Bush unfortunately rejected it and the Democrats have never collected around it. What this calls for, obviously is for is for us to notify the Iraqi leaders on a clear withdrawal date, it maybe one year in the future, it maybe two, or three or four years but a certain date which means they will need to assume responsibility for their military, their politics and their economy. "
On the current Democratic primaries, the former President and super delegate said, "I think the whole thing is going to be over the 3rd of June when we have our last Primary. At that point I would guess that if one of the candidates, whichever one, has a clear lead in delegates or states, or popular vote, certainly all three, that the super delegates would be foolish to vote contrary to the way the democratic voters have cast their ballots all over the country."
When asked by Senator Bill Bradley what Jimmy Carter would want young people to carry on as his legacy, the former President said, "Two generic things that I've always espoused and that is peace and human rights, and I inherited those from my mother."
Senator Bradley's interview with Jimmy Carter will air May 4th on SIRIUS Stars channel 102 at 5:30 am, 6:30 am, 7:30 am, 9:30 am, all times ET.
Jimmy Carter served as the thirty-ninth president of the United States from 1977 to 1981. Significant accomplishments during his presidency included the signing of the Panama Canal treaties, the Camp David accords, a peace treaty between Egypt and Israel, and establishing diplomatic relations between the United States and the People's Republic of China. After leaving office, Jimmy Carter with his wife Rosalynn established The Carter Center, a non-partisan not for profit Center created to advance human rights and alleviate human suffering. In 2002, Jimmy Carter received the Nobel Peace Prize for his work in promoting peace, democracy and human rights around the world.
Bill Bradley is an Olympian, NBA champion, former U.S. Senator, and was a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2000. In addition to conducting one-on-one interviews on SIRIUS with politicians, diplomats and other noteworthy guests he also hosts a weekly SIRIUS show called American Voices. On American Voices Bradley offers his unique perspective of the American landscape and highlights the remarkable accomplishments of people both famous and unknown. Past guests include singer-songwriter Bonnie Raitt and Meet the Press host Tim Russert.
