his wiretapping claims. he will hold a conference with chancellor merkel. >> most congressional leaders now say that the president is wrong. >> more information will come out to vindicate the president. earlier intelligence committee says they have no indications that trump tower rather was a subject of surveillance. >> secretary of state rex tillerson is in south korea this morning on his three nation tour of asia. >> tillerson is cutting nearly $11 billion in state departments and other development programs. the blueprint gives less money to united nations and eliminated funding for programs. >> he was also president of ronald reagan's treasury secretary and white house chief of staff. he joins us at rice university

in houston. good morning secretary baker. >> good morning charlie, delighted to see you and hear you and very pleased to know that you are back and still pulling sheet off your own face in the morning just lik liklike -- [ laughter ] >> just like i am. [ laughter ] >> well, that's a good way to put it. >> i tell you mr. secretary, gayle and i have so happy to have him here. >> i am happy to be back. >> these two people on both sides of me will make you younger everyday. [ laughter ] >> i am sure that's true. >> so lets talk about the budget first. the 26% cut in the states budget. some of that including aid money, foreign aid, you believe in diplomacy, will this make diplomacy harder? >> well, i don't think it will really in the fallon analysis, charlie, i believe in diplomacy and i believe the state

department should ought to have sufficient fund to conduct robust foreign si in the country. >> i also wear a treasury hat for four years as secretary of treasury and the biggest threat facing this country today is taking fiscal bonds of we are going to have to figure out ways to reduce that to cut our budget. you cannot get the necessary cuts from discretionary spending like the cutting the discretionary programs of the federal government sooner or later. if you want to get the budget in balance, you will have to take on entitlements politically. ronald reagan did it back in 1983, it can be done without political damage and that's something ultimately we are going to really have to do. >> mr. secretary, you are right,

40% of the budget is social security and medicare and trump does not touch that which is why these cuts are severe to discretionary spending. >> you were his chief of staff, is that a fair comparison? >> it is a fair comparison, absolutely fair. we got a lot of grief back then. well, you cannot remember because you are not old enough. i remember and guess what, charlie rose remember what happened back there. [ laughter ] >> it was a horror show and everything was going to go to hell. it was going to be the end of western civilization, we know it. we found out it is not correct. we have to take on those programs at some point. the bottom line is though, you know you cannot be strong of politically or diplomatically or militarily if you are not stronger economically.

that was what really made this country a special country we are, we got a deal with this fiscal death bond. this is a present budget. it is never enacted by congress. there will be a lot of changes. it is not the end of western civilization. lets talk about climate change because you met with white house officials last month to talk to them of tax carbon emissions as a way to fight climate change. what's your reaction to address this in the budget? >> well, we did not expect they'll jump all over this. look, this was portrayed as a carbon tax. that's really not in substance of what it is. it is a carbon redemption program or dividend program. we return every dollar of collected to the american people so it does not grow government

in that sense. it is not a tax. >> we are not spending money on that anymore, we consider that to be a waste. >> he's talking about prom that the obama administration initiated which we tried to convince other countries that climate change isra real and th need to address it. that's what he's talking about. this program of ours have never been implemented before. it is brand new and conservative and free market and limited government and it is internationally competitive. so it is a different deal. >> tillerson is making a free country tour. he's been in japan and he's going to south korea and by the way vin-- beijing. >> tell us of our options of north korea. he said that the strategic patience is over.

>> it should be over. there are no good options. the military option is fought with considerable risk and danger. north korea has an incredibly large army poised just 30 miles from seoul, we have secured the e alliance with south korea and japan, of course. >> that's a tough option or further sanctions, sanctions can work when they are multi lateral. china is the key to that. if we can get china to come along and support with mo more robust sanctions, that's one approach that it may work. china does not want a nuclear peninsula. >> they don't want the collapse of the north korean government and the influx of refugees that

problem would present to them. >> secretary baker, you had the best line this morning charlie rose taking the sheets off his face, i was wondering was there anyone there with him, and now we know it is only him >> thank you for having you. >> my pleasure. >> other news today of a case of a woman's death takes a mysterious turn after more than a decade. >> he was a college football star and later a prominent attorney. one valentine's day, his wife died mysteriously. the case was closed but now 11 years later, curtis loveless is going on trial for her murder again. that story is coming up on "cbs this morning." first, it is 8:09. it is time to check your local weather.
