Dave Chappelle- Jimmy Carter (1924-2024)

And all the flags will be at half staff for many of them because Jimmy Carter died.

Now, I got to tell you, Jimmy Carter,

people go back and forth and say he was a bad president or a good president.

I'm not qualified to even speak on that.

But I'll tell you this.

I was in the Middle East years ago after I quit my show.

I was trying to find out what I wanted to do with my life.

And while I was there, Jimmy Carter flew to Israel.

So everybody in the region was talking about a former American president being in the Middle East.

And while he was in Israel, a book of his was released, and his title was very controversial in Israel.

And the title of the book was Palestine, Peace, Peace.

Not apartheid.

And people were very mad in Israel.

There was a lot of mean stories that came out in the paper, but some people were supportive.

And while he was there, Jimmy Carter said, I want to go to the Palestinian territory.

And the Israeli government said, it's too dangerous.

And if you go, we cannot protect you.

And man, Jimmy Carter went anyway.

I will never forget the images of a former American president walking with little to no security while thousands of Palestinians were cheering him on.

And when I saw that picture, it brought tears to my eyes.

I said, I don't know if that's a good president, but that right there, I am sure is a great man.

It made me feel very proud.

Presidency is no place for petty people.
