mr. baker: number 1 -- mr. donilon: number one, this is just as important with the efforts inside of baghdad as compared to outside of baghdad, because in iraq, this is a failure of government. it was the government taking a sectarian approach to government, politicizing the iraqi military forces, and we can be successful in respect to our efforts and i think we will be in terms of rolling back isis and defeating them, but it will be a short-term success if we have a noninclusive government again, which will lead to the same kind of dynamic. mr. markey: how concerned are you that a body, given this pressure that they are now bringing, won't have the capacity? saying, theyyou're need to create a political the other religions? mr. donilon: i think it is concerning, but we need to support them in this effort. another concern is the lower oil prices. mr. markey: we can't do anything about that except lower them further when the fracking resolution -- revolution continues in america, so that is the more likely situa

mr. baker: i'm not sure i'm the best to answer that. i will say that it's now the longest war that we've ever fought. we are still there. i would suggest that the one thing we ought not to do is to make what i think was a mistake in iraq -- withdrawing our forces too quickly. i certainly support president obama's decision to lead forces afghanistan, and i think unfortunately, this is going to be there a good bit longer. we are doing everything we can to promote an agreement to between the governments and the taliban. anything we can do to get that done and enhance that is what we ought to do. those are my thoughts. senator udall: we have diminished the threat from al qaeda, that's been an important we'vee -- mr. donilon: diminish the threat from al qaeda, that's been important outcome. it will be useful for our military in preparation for the next president coming into office is to ask the hard rest of -- the hard questions about how we have fought wars in the last decade and a half, and really

mr. baker himself had been in power. if the church committee had disabled the intelligence agencies, they could have done something about it. it was interesting, emotional, and i'm sure if mr. baker were questioned today, he would say i was all over iraq on the afternoon of 9/11 and i said something that did not make sense -- i was a little overwrought on the afternoon of 9/11, and i said something that did not make sense and it surely didn't. host: pointing back to the church committee, saying that intelligence gathering had been sharply curtailed as a result of your committee's work -- what was your reaction? hismaxwell: i think i share view that it was nonsense. what was happening, and what the 9/11 commission said happened, was people failing to communicate and follow what the intelligence they could have followed. it had nothing to do with what the church committee had done. notion of these isolated towers, for whatever reason, not communicating with the adjoining silo. not responding to the .ntelligence that was ga

bush and mr. baker himself had been in power. and if, as baker said on the television interview, the church committee had disabled the intelligence agencies, they could have done something about it. so it was interesting emotional and i'm sure if mr. baker were questioned today, he would say, well, i was a little over wrought on the afternoon of 9/11 and i said something which didn't make any sense, which it surely didn't. >> there were a number of think pieces written after 9/11, critical and pointing back to a an antecedents from the church committee. what was your reaction to the criticisms? >> i think i shared fritz's view that it was nonsense. what was happening and what the 9/11 commission said had happened was people failing to communicate and follow up the intelligence that they could have followed up. and it had nothing to do with what the church committee had done. it had been the notion of these isolated towers for whatever reason not communicating with the adjoining silo, not responding to the intelligence that was gat

ashley: that is mr. baker. lieutenant colonel ralph peters is veteran of u.s.rmy and fox news contributor. colonel, thanks as always for joining us on this friday afternoon. look, crittickers say donald trump could let some of those secrets slip if he loses his cool. should nominees have access to those military secrets? what do you think? >> the final nominees do absolutely need access, because you have to do everything you can to prepare them for assuming the presidency but with mr. trump there are two questions. one, will he take the briefings and listen? is he willing to learn? will he read documents provided to him? question two is, can he then keep his mouth shut? this is very serious stuff. this isn't a clown show anymore. he is, has a very good chance of becoming president of the united states and the gravitas of that, importance not just for our country but for the world must be taken absolutely seriously. ashley: it is interesting. you could argue hillary clinton had access to all the secrets and she also well, unintentionally let those secrets go by

mr. trump met with james baker haft week when he was in washington and happened after secretary baker was critical of don altd trump's foreign policy. they are not giving out details. secretary kissinger isrning 93 a week from friday. with all of the secret service consideration, they may be meeting here at trump tower. he was secretary of state to president nixon and ford and met with candidates for president the and vice-president. in 2008, he had a meeting with sarah palin. donald trump looking to foster foreign policy credentials. and same time as all of this is happening, donald trump facing barage of attacks. priority usa launching a 6 million adin virginia, ohio and florida and nevada. having people mount trump's own words. >> fat [bleep]. girls come up to you five foot one. >> and of course, donald trump didn't take kindly to that. amazing that crocked hillary does a crooked adon when her husband was the worst in abuse per of woman in u.s. political history. donald trump making a concession to running a general election campaign and hiring well known pollster frebrezio. he was ric

mr. jim baker talked about, perpetuate and vitally important, biases practices are ineffective from law enforcement perspective. as former attorney general eric holder is stated, such practices are simply not good law enforcement. as privacy professionals and attorneys, we seek to distinguish information which determines what is and what is not protected under federal policy laws. in this day, privacy officials need to be engaged about what information can and to be shared with other agencies. the department of justice, these responsibilities are within various office within the department and we take a multi layered approach protecting privacy, civil liberties and civil rights. as mentioned, in 2014, the white house released a report titled big data seizing opportunities, preserving values and this was the result of president obama's 90-day big day report. this report caught on the department of justice to examine and focus the domestic use of policing and specifically to focus on the more complex predictive technologies. for example, not merely mapping crimes have occurred in searching databases

mr. chairman. thank you both very much. senator rand paul. >> secretary baker, i enjoyed your testimony particularly the discussion of the ideas of selective engagement. and the talk of regime change. you know, the president has now admitted really that it was a mistake to topple gadhafi in libya, but he sort of says it wasn't a mistake to do it, it was just a mistake not to be prepared to create a country out of nothing and put massive amounts of resources and create a nation in libya. i think there's a couple of possibilities. one is maybe you shouldn't do it to begin with, the other is you do it and we have massive resources and we create nations. i think then the question is how do we create democracy in the middle east. but i think if there's no tradition thousands of years of autocratic rule. i think people don't realize in our country one of the amazing things about the american revolution is we had representative government for 150 years before that and we had an 800-year tradition of that and we had continuity of that and we think we can blow up gadhaf

mr. trump's foreign policy, secretary james baker at a senate hearing a little while ago said that he believed that his foreign policy was based on, quote, ill informed threats, even in particular didn't like what he was saying about nato or the potential for nuclear weapons in japan and south korea. then the former secretary of defense, bob gates, came out and said he is not comfortable at the moment at least with donald trump's finger on the nuclear trigger. here is what he said. >> right now, no, but the question is does he moderate his views on national security issues going forward? does he begin to have some more informed views about the complexities of some of these issues, some of the challenges that we face and who does he choose as his advisors? if all of those things turned out in a positive way, then -- then my concerns would be significantly reduced. >> senator sessions, is secretary gates correct? does donald trump need to moderate his views on foreign policy and become more informed on the complexities of foreign polic find and donald trump will find as time goes by they're clos

if you would start, secretary baker, i would appreciate it. >> thank you, mr. chairman. it is a pleasure to be here before you -- >> microphone. >> -- and other distinguished members of the committee. it is a real pleasure to me, needless to say to be back before the committee that i appeared before so many times when i was saecretary of state. i have been asked to be brief so we can spend our time talking about the items we have articulated. let me talk about america's current role on the world stage, suggest and approach on u.s. foreign policy that i think is best suited for the country. let me begin by putting america's place in the world today into perspective. more than 70 years after the conclusion of world war ii the united states remeans the strongest nation in the world. not just militarily. we have a dynamic and resilient economy. we have the most powerful military in the world. we have the widest array of strategic alliances ranging from nato to ozeon. do we have problems? indeed we do. domestically the economy continues to sag. internationally, we are losing

baker had this to say. >> there are a number of issues i disagree vehemently disagree with mr. trump on and i question if he has the temperament to serve as president. i won't vote for mr. trump. i sincerely doubt i'll be voting for hillary clinton either. >>> hillary clinton tweeted a web video full of republicans slamming the presumptive nominee and here's part of it. >> i am a unifier. we'll be a unified party. >> he's a con artist. >> a phony. >> donald trump is the no nothing candidate. >> donald is a bully. >> this is an individual who mocked a disabled reporter. >> i don't remember. >> who attributed a reporter's questions to her menstrual cycle. >> blood coming out of her wherever. >> the most vulgar person ever aspired to the presidency. >> yesterday, clinton was asked whether she's ready for trump's tactics come the fall or sooner. >> he's made references to your marriage, to your husband. are you -- >> well he's not the first one, anderson. i can't say this often enough. if he wants to go back to the playbook of the 1990s, if he wants to follow in the footsteps of th

you do selectively end up engaging in war, secretary baker, what's the best way to ensure that you are successful? >> well, i'm biased. i would submit, mr. chairman, that a textbook example of the way to go to war is the way president bush 41 went to war in the first gulf war. he told the world what he was going to do. he then went out and got the rest of the world behind his effort to do it to the extent that for the first time ever he was able to get a use of force resolution out of a u.n. security council against a u.n. member state. he then came up here on the hill and -- very unpopular at the time, but he narrowly got a vote of the senate by 52-48 supporting it and a vote of the house by a larger margin. he went out and put overwhelming force on the ground to make sure what he was going to do would be successful. he went in. he did exactly what he said he was going to do and no more. did not go to baghdad the way a lot of people were pushing on him to do. and won the war and whatever it was -- a few weeks. with at the time minimal casualties. and then guess what. he got other people to pay for the war. that's the way to fight a war

baker? >> there are a number of issues i argue vehemently with. i am not going to vote for mr. trump, i doubt i will be voting for hillary clinton either. the editer in chief of right wisconsin, he is a leader, and michael steele, yes, is there a republican party left? >> yes, there is. yes, there is. stop it. of course there is. you know, what we have seen as the other gentlemen know has been on-going for some time. fractures and fissures forming inside the party for a while. certainly, when i came in office, we came off a humiliating defeat in 2008. lost in 2006. we had a fractured base. this is not new for the party. what is different is donald trump. how he is cross pollinating, bringing in new voters, and while others are inside the party are upset. we don't know how it will all play out yet. we are not dead at this point. despite some folks on the left who want to hope or think so. >> the former chairman, saying we are not dead at this point. the current chairman saying it is not necessarily bad. that is his phrase, not necessarily bad that donald trump is going to be the

mr. kissinger. you might remember, last week, he had a hastily arranged meeting with former secretary of state james bakerfter baker said at a senate hearing earlier in the day, this is back when trump was visiting washington and meeting with the congressional leadership, that baker said during that congressional hearing, that he was opposed to what trump was saying about nato and reducing america's participation in nato or at least the funding of it and allow japan and south korea to have their own nuclear arsenal, so we hope to find out tomorrow what he says in this meeting with kissinger. really more of a ticket punch than anything. >> john roberts live outside trump tower. thank you. as you look at the race board from kentucky. 1,869 votes separate hillary clinton and bernie sanders. some 40 precincts out in kentucky of about 3,700 precincts in kentucky and that is the number separating the two, 1,869. we were not making a call as of yet. we'll wait for more total to come in. let's bring in syndicated columnist charles kraut hammer from washington. let me get you to weigh in on this race we're seeing

mr. trump is meeting tomorrow with senator bob corker who is the head of the foreign relations committee. he's met with henry kissinger, james bakere learning about foreign policy from these meetings? is it a box checked en route to becoming the president? what's happening? >> i don't think there is any doubt he's enjoying the meetings. he's focused on being more prepared. his basic philosophy and approach is the kissinger type model. it's realism, caution, being cautious about how we deploy our men and women in harm's way, not to be involved in excessive efforts to alter, create democracies in countries not ready for it. i believe that's a legitimate criticism of recent foreign ols policy. he's on the right track in that regard. i have supported president bush and a lot of activities. but i think most americans believe correct ly that we need to be more cautious about our engagement around the world. >> does he have more to learn about foreign policy? >> of course we all do. i have been on the armed services committee for years. the details are so complex in some of these countries. you have to have the best intelligence you can

baker, 29 years old. platt, south dakota, september 17, 2015. nicole westerhues. thank you, mr. speaker. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. for what purpose does the gentleman from arizona seek recognition? without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one inute. mr. gallego: mr. speaker, the annual defense bill before the house today removes $18 about from the overseas war account to fund activities not related to war. it is unfortunate that the republican majority, which claims to be fiscally responsible, are raiding it in order to bypass bipartisan spending agreements. this budget gimmick would require an $18 billion supplemental next april, only halfway through the fiscal year, to restore overseas funding for america's troops overseas. there's no way -- this is no way to govern and the pentagon is doing a disservice, as well as congress, to our men and women by pushing for this. defense secretary ash carter said removing overseas funding during war time is, quote, objectionable on the face of it. it is my hope and the hope of many others on the committee

mr. chairman, very much. thank both of us for being here and your service to our country. senior baker, thank you so much recommend to president bush that you not go to baghdad. that stands the test the historical scrutiny. >> i don't think you were here, senator, when i said shortly after we got out of office, for two or three years, anytime i to make a speech, people would say why didn't you take care every saddam when you had the chance? i don't get that question anymore. >> you have to balance, which i think you did, military might with wisdom. you brought that to that decision, and we thank you so much. >> thank you. >> so now as we look at iraq today, we can see the rising influence of el sadda. he was behind this shia takeover of the parliament, ostensibly they're calling for reforms, but those reforms include changing the role in which the sunnis and the kurds play in the government in that country. and we're already basically looking at sunnis in tikrit, wondering when do the shia ever let their control over that city go? so they can once again play a role in the government. t

baker had this to say to supporters on wednesday. >> there are a number of issues i disagree vehemently with trump on. i'm not going to vote for mrhillary clinton either. >> that's his perspective. if not trump, then who? >> i would love to see someone like a charlie bakeer out there running, i would love to see paul ryan running, would love to see a mitt romney running. i don't know who will come out for us. there are a tremendous amount of republican leaders that have not bought into what donald trump is selling. like me, believe he's very disastrous for the republican party. he's disastrous for our party and he's disastrous for the nation. >> do you have concerns that many republicans may just sit out this election? >> yes, i do. i think there are enough republicans, every time i talk to someone, and i go through the same line of questioning, people that don't know even where i stand, i say what do you think about the presidential race right now. the answer is always the same, oh, i just can't vote for trump. so maybe they vote for hillary, maybe they sit it out. either way, it is not good for our country to have someone runni

mr. trump has officially arrived at kissinger's home. what else do we know? >> well, we know that they have been talking for weeks. we know that this follows on the heels of a meeting with james bakerormer secretary of state, and in some ways i think what's most surprising is you see not that kissinger would take the meeting but the candidate would embrace the most reigning of republican elder statesman on foreign policy. the person who really embraces the school of thought on american policy which donald trump seems to agree, but really at the insurgent candidate would embrace the reigning, you know, northern policy elder statesman of the republican establishment is what i think is among the most interesting things of today's meeting. >> all right. so gayle is surprised on the embracing there. doug brinkley, i mean, you called kissinger and the kissing of the ring en route to the presidency. are you surprised by it? >> not a bit surprised. that's exactly what donald trump needs to do, the presumptive republican nominee and have to meet people like baker and kissinger. kissinger was very opposed of trump saying there be a ban on miss limbs and he wrote a wonderful and important boo

selective engagement is the way secretary baker has framed it. mr. donilon, what would be the best take of your view of foreign policy. >> i think it's sensible. the united states should always ask before it engages militarily, the degree of interest implicated will dictate what we do and what steps we take. third, the response to every problem in the world is not a u.s. military action. >> so let me -- i thought you would agree. let me take it to the next step. the world is watching right now. i mean, we are the greatest power on earth and so the world is watching as this presidential race evolves, certainly europe is watching, leader from china yesterday and i can tell their demeanor has changed greatly over the course since i met with them last in february as they watch what is occurring. what is the best way for us to communicate strategic engagement because, you know, there can be inconsistencies but as you look at the best way for our nation, if you were advising folks who now are going to be the focus, if you will, of u.s. foreign policy over
