Step into the late 1970s, where America is searching for honesty, healing, and a sense of direction—and elects a peanut farmer from Georgia to help find it. In this episode, we explore Jimmy Carter's presidency during a time of inflation, energy crises, environmental awakening, and shifting global realities. Carter brings humility and moral focus to Washington, but the challenges pile up fast, and the nation's mood grows complicated. It's a portrait of a president caught between high ideals and hard realities—and of a country preparing to pivot into a very different political era.
