We got to start with obviously the big news, and that is Jimmy Carter has passed away at the age of 100.

He is the nation's longest serving former president.

And I am going to say that there are some of you that probably hoping I'm going to talk about his failed policies in the 70s.

I don't really care.

It was so long ago, and the American people, I think, know what he did as president, and it ushered in Ronald Reagan.

Without Jimmy Carter, we never would have had Ronald Reagan.

And I will forever be grateful to Jimmy Carter.

And I'm not saying that sarcastically.

I mean it for that because Ronald Reagan did amazing things and revolutionized and changed

the Republican Party for the better and got rid of the Cold War and communism in many parts

the world.

Without Jimmy Carter, we wouldn't have had Ronald Reagan.

And so that is a part of his legacy for me anyway.

And I am genuinely thankful for that.

But I also want to just take a moment and say this.

Jimmy Carter did something that I think is pretty incredible.

He went out of office being the highest rated most, or I should say the most unpopular,

the highest unpopular rating of any president in certainly my lifetime,

in modern political history.

And that is pretty bad when you think about it.

You know, you look at people that left in disgrace like Nixon, for example.

Carter didn't leave with some massive scandal.
