"The Moral Equivalent of War" President Jimmy Carter | Speeches By Prophets

The Speech Guys

A note on listener discretion... at approximately 36 minutes, Mike lets the expletive "sh*t" slip. America's longest-living POTUS takes the mound for the Speech Guys' second time at bat in the Speeches By Prophets series. Mike's Dad, Rich Schaefer, makes his second visit to the Speech Guys' digital studios by commenting on the role that JC and Mike's Mom had on influencing the evolution of his own environmental sensibilities. "I gotta say. You are three very intelligent fellows." --Rich Schaefer "People don't like hearing from your Mom or Dad to make sacrifices let alone a guy who lives 1,000 or 3,000 miles away." --Mike "What if a Republican had been in office during the 1970s' Energy Crisis? Would political attitudes on environmental policy be flipped between parties?" --Mike "Every society is going to have vegetables that it doesn't want to eat." --Matt "You'll find a fact that suits you--that allows you to live more comfortably along your baseline lifestyle." --Matt The article that Mike's Dad wrote for Mother Earth News can be accessed here: https://www.motherearthnews.com/sustainable-living/renewable-energy/solar-power/passive-solar-midwest-winter-zm0z22fmzram/ Listen to President Carter's full speech here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FpEAefTT-d0 An audio clip from Rocky IV (1985) is used from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxj1NOxcRUM
