Former President Jimmy Carter talks to Tavis about his controversial meeting with leaders of the Islamic militant group Hamas.

Since leaving the White House in 1981, former President Jimmy Carter has won the 2002 Nobel Peace Prize, monitored elections around the globe, founded the non-profit Carter Center, tirelessly supported Habitat for Humanity, and authored numerous books. But he's making the most news of-late for his controversial meeting in Damascus with leaders of the exhiled militant group Hamas this past month.

He discusses his on-going Middle Eastern peace building process with Tavis Smiley.

According to Mr. Carter: "... the United State's policy of not speaking to anyone with whom you disagree or you can't dominate ... is a real setback or impediment to bringing peace, not only to ourselves, but to Israel."

He also pays homage to his mother, the late Bessie Lillian Gordy Carter, in his new book "A Remarkable Mother."

"The Tavis Smiley Show" is a weekly show offering a unique blend of news and newsmakers in expanded conversations, along with feature reports and regular commentators. "The Tavis Show is produced by Tavis Smiley productions, and distributed nationwide by PRI.
