tell us whether charles kupperman and therefore john bolton should have to testify. >> one interesting thing in one of the president's tweets today, peter baker calls john bolton a patriot. that's the first compliment he's paid to john bolton who left with a blast on twitter at him. they've been going back and forth with bolton saying he was blocked from his personal twitter account when he left the white house, so there was a lot of tension there. but this is potentially a signal that the president is trying to make peace with john bolton, who knows a lot, peter. >> yeah, certainly he was happy with what bolton's lawyer said today. he was happy that john bolton was going to continue to abide by the white house wishes, which is that he not testify. so of course the president wants to make sure he keeps his former security adviser as happy as possible, i suppose, as long as he's taking that position. of course you and i both know, we've seen this before, if ambassador bolton were to take the other position, if he were suddenly to say something or agree to testify, i think you might hear a different tone from the president about his patriotism.

impeachment: an american history," to which he contributed with tim naftali, jeffrey engel, and peter baker. so johnthat the early '70s were a bad era for television earphones that stuck out on camera and that mr. chancellor preferred copy on paper to the teleprompter in front of him, tell us about the man -- i heard a historian talk about ruckelshaus as a patriot's patriot. tell us about the mark he leaves on american society. >> that's a great description. he was part of a vanished breed. he was a moderate republican. he was of the rockefeller, prescott bush school of republicans who believed in fiscal probity but wanted to protect the environment and wanted to protect the rule of law. what i would hope tonight and going into tomorrow is that every self-described republican supporter of donald trump would read that obituary very carefully and imaginatively project themselves to that ultimate moment of reckoning. do you want said of you that when the constitution was under ferocious attack you stood in the breach and stood for the work of madison, hamilton, and jay, or do you want to be seen as som

thistary baker, i suspect crossed your desk a time or two during your tenure. [laughter] john: i am sorry, thank you. >> thank you very much, john. a few artifacts we will be having in the national museum of .merican diplomacy i will never forget going to moscow at the time this was happening. we built the new embassy and we found out it was bugged every which way. the reason we built the new embassy was because our old embassy was across the street from a russian church that had all these antennas and listening devices and weeds to refer to that church as our lady of telemetry. or the church of the immaculate reception. [laughter] [applause] >> you see why we need the national museum of american diplomacy. we thank everyone here. john, thank you very much to add to our collection. it is the very first one we are accepting at the national diplomacy museum. we would like you to take a look at our new exhibit. diplomacy is our mission here we did this in the conjunction with smithsonian. take you very much have a wonderful evening. thank you for joining us. please come back and

you may remember that before i went to poland, i don't know whether jim baker was sitting next to me, i know brent was there, and john sununu, and i was asked by a polish journalist if i were a young pole, what would my advice be? and what i said is, i think you ought to stay there and participate in this dramatic change in your country. you ought to feel the surge of freedom, feel the move toward democracy, and be a part of it. and these are germans. and germans love their country. and at some point, i think a lot of germans who had felt penned in and unable to move are going to say, look, we can move, but wouldn't it be better to participate in the reforms that are taking place in our own country? so i think it is too early to predict, but these openings are there. that that means everybody is going to take off. >> [indiscernible] he said to gorbachev that europe's side is winning. is that the kind of thing you're going to communicate to him? pres. bush: he has already expressed his interest in a common european home. we faced it differently. we said a europe whole and free. and when you see citizens wanting to go

john dean comparison. this is the front page of "the new york times," the peter baker story with his news analysis, noting even john dean thought ambassador sondland's testimony was a bit of a john dean moment. he decided to put the truth over party and president because the president cannot be pleased with it, mr. dean said. it is going to change the dynamics of the proceedings. here is more from gordon sondland, this back-and-forth with sean patrick maloney. >> you said it is wrong to investigate political empowerment. we have a great on that? >> yes. >> that is what we know the president was asking for. who would have benefited from an investigation of the president's political opponent? >> i don't want to characterize who would have and who would not have. >> i know you do not, but that is my question. >> restate your question. >> who would benefit from an investigation of the president's political opponent? >> presumably, the person who asked for the investigation. >> who was that? forf the president asked the investigation, presumably it was he. >> we are not talking about hypotheticals. when he ask

jim baker, thank you so much for that. really. >> thanks, johnt we have an interesting profile. a closer look at democrat adam schiff's journey into the spotlight. and the cult classic movie he knows beginning to end. that life of the party look walk it off look one more mile look reply all look own your look... ...with fewer lines. there's only one botox® cosmetic. it's the only one... ...fda approved... ...to temporarily make frown lines... ...crow's feet... ...and forehead lines... ...look better. the effects of botox® cosmetic, may spread hours to weeks after injection, causing serious symptoms. alert your doctor right away as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems, or muscle weakness may be a sign of a life-threatening condition. do not receive botox® cosmetic if you have a skin infection. side effects may include allergic reactions, injection site pain, headache, eyebrow, eyelid drooping, and eyelid swelling. tell your doctor about your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions, and medications including botulinum toxins

talk about -- peter baker has some brand-new reporting about john bolton.ell me what john bolton is needed for in this investigation. it would seem that witnesses like fiona hill and colonel vindman and bill taylor and gordon sondland have all brought him to life. what is it -- or, i mean, am i accurate in saying that they want to do this -- do they still want john bolton? >> i will tell you that democrats don't think they need them. they've already got the goods. and the question now is how we schedule the witnesses so that we can tell the story in the most compelling way. they told me that the reason why they were doing that is number one, bill taylor is the most compelling because he draws a straight line to president trump who said it was president trump's orders that zelensky go to a microphone and announce these investigations or -- and this is the or and the hammer -- there would be a stalemate, essentially a quid pro quo or democrats want us to drop the latin now and just say this is basically a guns for dirt situation here. and so democrats don't t

baker is standing by to join us in a moment. tim morrison worked for former national security adviser john bolton. over the weekend, his deposition was released. he testified that bolton had met privately with trump in august to try to persuade the boss to release $400 million in aid to ukraine and that ambassador bolton simply said he wasn't ready to do it. he told investigators about gordon sondland's involvement. quote, ambassador sondland believed and at least related to me that the president was giving him instruction. he is scheduled to testify wednesday morning. it is likely to be an eventful day. remember, he has already amended his first closed door deposition revealing that he told a top ukrainian official the country probably would have to give in to trump's demands and announce investigations into his political rivals, the bidens, if they wanted to unlock the military aid. "the wall street journal" says it has seen e-mails sondland sent to several white house officials keeping them in the loop, up-to-date on efforts to get ukraine to launch those investigations in the weeks leading up

baker, the president's chief of staff, said the only serious one was o'connor. at the end of the interview both ken starr and john rose went to phoenix to your house and 100 degree heat. she made us salmon mousse. and she passed her little oral quiz with flying colors. and, you know, and then, you know, she was it. she was going to be the nominee. as we get to this there was a little kerfuffle over her nomination, which we can talk about. but that's pretty much what happened as far as i know from the memo ken starr wrote. >> first, i think i want to say something because what you are saying does feel so importantly with the story that justice ginsburg always tells. she's speaking later but she is always at great pains to talk about the men who supported and allied themselves and help her. just an important piece of this, you know, when he get on our sort of girl power soapboxes about the first justice, to really understand that without having male allies, which justice o'connor had extraordinary friendships and relationships with men who were really willing to go to that for her. i think they are in some part of

john gotti. they know they're going to have to face him in the senate. i find it astounding. if they were going down there to do a howard bakerthat would be one thing. but they weren't. they were going down there to rub elbows with this guy and let him lobby them. i find it astoundingly bad judgment, frankly. >> and let's take a look at what congresswoman will herd said today because he's the only republican intelligence committee who doesn't go on the attack. he tries to present himself as someone who is carefully evaluating the evidence. let's listen to what he said. >> an impeachable offense should be compelling, overwhelmingly clear, and unambiguous, and it's not something to be rushed or taken lightly. i have not heard evidence proving the president committe s bribery or extortion. i also reject the notion holding this view means supporting all the foreign policy choices we have been hearing about over these last few weeks. >> paul, your reaction to that. >> very disappointing. i think that if the congressman had been listening closely, he would have, in fact, heard evidence that was compelling and overwhelming as to the

jim baker who i think was the most successful chief of staff working for ronald reagan, he would never go and act independently of reagan. he would explore things with others. and one more thing, johnecision about holding back money was a big deal. that's why so many people like bolton were in revoeld against it, the whole nsc opposed it. the chief of staff is not going to make a decision absent presidential direction of such weight and so controversial without taking it to the boss to start with. and so i think of course he got the information or he got the direction from the president. i just don't think there can be any doubt that ultimately he did that. and by the way, if he didn't, if he was a rogue player out there, he'd be gone by now. he'd be the scapegoat about all of this. we wouldn't be in all these hearings. >> i'm not sure this was necessary or you think this was necessary to prove, but you see this as definitive proof now that the president was involved, was involved either directly or at least oversaw what has been described as a shakedown, forcing the ukrainian leader to investigate the bidens in order to get a meeting or in order to get this military aid? >> all si

next season. >> so peter baker, you wrote this extraordinary -- with some extraordinary facts in it about the white house cannibalizing itself. >> who saw this coming? >> as johnmann said, we should be numb to it by now but every day new norms are breached. >> yeah, look, you know, we've seen this white house, seen the president go after all manner of people, former aides, cabinet secretaries, diplomats, what we saw yesterday was another level of extraordinary, which was to say going after the people who literally work in the same building complex he does, colonel vindman, jennifer williams there, current aides to the president they still work there, and it's- you know, it's a tough position for a president to be in. obviously the people working around him now are testifying against him. he looks, you know, around the room, and he wonders who he can trust. he has done that since the beginning of his presidency. he has always been suspicious of the deep state, if you will, every white house relies on career officials. this president, though has made such a point of being at war with them that we're now seeing it play out on national television hour after hour y

but if he's going to say john bel edwards say radical democrat, voters are going believe that as much as if they were to go into new england and chaul call charlie baker and phil scott the governors in massachusetts and vermont some trump tea party conservatives. voters still make distinctions at this level. the good news for trump this is not a blow to his re-election chances in the is an indication that, number one, the limits of his transferability of popularity are still there and, number two, some southern suburbs are now open to voting for the right kind of democrat. particularly those catholic suburbs. obama took 26% of the vote there in 2018. john bel edwards got 50% on saturday night. >> you bring up a great point. this isn't bad news for donald trump in terms of 2020 in louisiana or kentucky, it will be tighter or closer than was before. but it's bad news for any person running under ticket. i can't believe we've got to a point where we're talking about the suburbs of louisiana, of new orleans, of baton rouge, of shreveport, the suburbs of dallas, the suburbs of atlanta. we're talking about deep south suburbs that are now breaking. that is b

we do see john bolton, you could actually see this significantly shift in a way you start seeing republicans stopping aligning with the president to the degree you do right now. >> peter baker, are there republicans going home for thanksgiving actually debating whether or not to support meecht impeachment o their minds made up? >> in the senate they're being more restrained, more cautious, more withholding because they're going to be jurors, and they don't want to tip their hand if they don't have to. in the house you don't hear a lot of hand wringing, they don't like the situation. they're not happy about it. the debate going on among republicans is how to defend the president. what a lot of them would like to say, yeah, he did wrong. we don't approve of this conduct, but it's not going to be impeachable. we're heading into an election year, let the voters decide. the president won't let them. he's saying i did everything perfect. back in the clinton days, the president admitted -- eventually admitted he did something wrong so the democrats could say yeah, even he admits something he did was wrong, but we're not going to impeach him over it. this president won't let them d
