brian baker is the president of that super pac called the ending spending action fund, and daniella isfor the center for american progress. >> look, we've been very tough on this show. we, me, everybody here doesn't like the idea, in a democracy, that somebody with big daddy warbucks money can come in at the last minute and dump a tremendous amount of money and turn the direction of a democracy, because they've got the loot to do it. they don't have one vote, they have $200,000 of it. and they change everything. now, defend that thing. you run that pac. defend that kind of democracy. >> chris, not everybody has a cable talk show. >> but i'm not running for office. >> not everybody has the power of a newspaper or a hollywood actor who raises $14 million -- >> but neither did the other candidates in this race. >> super pacs increase the flow of information to the voters and the voters will get it right. every dollar donated to a super pac is disclosed. >> except for the so-called nonprofits. crossroads gps, the karl rove operation, does not release the names. >> i don't speak on behalf o

joining us now from washington, we have the president of the ending spending action fund, brian baker coming on this show. >> thanks for having me back here. >> we are talking about a very complicated story that started with "the new york times" article that generated a good deal of debate on the set as we started the show. i would like to bring you in because we are looking at the super pac that you run that is funded by joe ricketts and pro po sal that came from the strategist to your super pac and was presented to the family. now, the proposal was to go all reverend wright on president obama and use the reverend wright issue against the president. i would first like to go through a few key details for you. first of all, did fred davis present the plan to him? >> he did not present it to joe. he presented it to myself, pete ricketts. >> he presented it to you and several family members? >> that is correct. >> when did he do that? >> last thursday, may 10th in chicago. >> okay. did fred -- was he asked to present proposals to the family and your super pac? >> sure. in the spending ac

brian baker president of the ending spending action fund insisted the plan was and i quote: which doesn'tlain why the plan's authors wrote they had received quote: preliminary approval and were ready to jump into action when plan approval came through. and mitt romney tried to have it both ways. >> i want to make it very clear i repudiate that effort. i think it's the wrong coarse for a pac or a campaign. i have been disappointed in the president's campaign to date which is focused on character assassination. >>> joining me now, rutenberg, one of the two "new york times" reporters who broke this story. thanks for joining us. >> thank for having me governor? >> who is joe ricketts. there seems to be a lineup of mega mega billionaires who is he? >> he is by the bootstraps kind of guy. his family owns the chicago cubs. he is basically trying to break into that club and i think he learned the hard way that not everybody is cut out for that kind of work. >> like he said here is a pile of money, and like bees to honey a lot of the political consultants showed up with plans on how to take down b

. >> brian baker. the end of the federal action spending fund was on mo"morning joe" earlier today. let's take a run. >> the proposal itself knows that we asked for a document based on ending spending, based on fiscal responsibility and jobs in the economy and this was far afield from that. >> lynn, so far the author of this proposal is strategist named fred davis has not addressed the controversy. is davis getting thrown under the bus here? >> well, this doesn't enhance his reputation as an consultant. usually the super pacs are run by political professionals. they usually stay within, you know, a certain lane because they have to make a living in the business. this potential campaign went out of line, was repudiated by romney as not being helpful. i don't think that helps. the whole point of a super pac is to hoelp, not hurt. >> i want to come back to that in a moment. earl, does either campaign benefit as an issue this fall? >> romney was clear on one point. in fact, he pulled a page from the play book of john mccain. he said we're going stick to one point. the jobs of economy an

brian baker is called the ending spending action fund.merican progress. we have been very tough on this show. we, me, everybody here, doesn't like the idea in the democracy that somebody with big daddy war bucks money can come in at the last minute dump a tremendous amount of money especially in a case calling themselves nonprofits and turn the direction of a democracy because they have the loot to do it. they don't have one vote, they have 200,000. now defend that thing. do you run that pac, defend that democracy? >> not everybody has a cable talk show. >> i'm not running for office. >> not everybody has a paper or hollywood actor that raises $200 million in an hour at their home. super pacs increase the flow of information to voters and voters get it right. the other thing is, chris, every dollar donated to super pac is disclosed, fully transparent. >> except for the nonprofits. >> no. >> grass roots gps, they don release names. >> i don't speak on behalf of crossroads but can i tell you that they release information on every dollar dis

. >> matt, brian baker, head of the ending spending political action fund said he was immediately troubled by this. how does something like this even get out there? how does it happen, do you think? >> it happens because there's a lot of people spending money on campaigns and trying to get their messages across. and there are campaigns motivated -- the obama campaign is motivated to find everyone related to mitt romney who's going to say anything that seems weird. that's what they're going to be seizing on and campaigning on for the next six months because both sides don't actually want to campaign on the biggest issue that faces us, the debt and entitlement crisis looming over our heads. >> they may not have asked for this proposal specifically, but here's what mr. ricketts said when he saw the ad made in '08 that included jeremiah wright and president obama. quote, if the nation had seen that ad, they'd never have elected barack obama. and the super pac said that is a correct quote. listen to this -- >> all of the media firms as a part of their process to solicit business would show us v

brian baker defending joe rickets and his families this morning. >> the ricketts family is an open andelcoming family and committed to open and honest dialogue. a family of diverse political interests, incredibly generous. it's hurtful and unfair to the ricketts family to have anybody suggest they would want to pursue anything like this. it's unfair. >> are you learning about the ricketts family were unfairly pulled into this fray or throwing fred davis under the bus? >> it's likely the proposal very detailed, in the story it was preapproved and looked at by the ricketts family, something out of context. it seems like they are -- of course, everyone is trying to throw somebody under the bus in a situation where no one likes what came out. mitt romney condemned it. every republican i heard condemned it. it's good for mitt romney to get this issue off the table because i don't think he wanted to discuss it but i'm not surprised people are trying to distance themselves from this at all. >> according to abc news, one of the top mccain advisers made this mention of fred davis. basically fre

brian baker, the president of ricket's political action spending said joe ricketts is a registered independence, a fiscal conservative and an out spoken critic of the obama administration. he is not an author or funder of the ricketts plan. his proposal was one of the several submitted, but an approach to politics that mr. ricketts never suggests. it should be noted that on page 46 of the proposal, with your preliminary approval in the new york meeting. so ricketts apparently presented some kind of preliminary proposal. we have not yet received a response. meanwhile, mitt romney denounced a plan after a campaign event in flr florida on thursday. >> i want to make it clear i repudiate that effort. i think it's the wrong course for a pact or a campaign. >> so here's what i find fascinating about this. i find it fascinating for a number of reasons. the first reason i find it interesting is that what we saw during the primary was one of the unintended consequences of citizens united, which i found really interested. all of the sudden, you've got these billionaires -- i guess he said he wasn't a bil

pro-republican super pac although it is interesting in the statement just released on rickets behalf, brian bakerthe end he has no interest in getting involved in any personal attacks or social or cultural abeing at thats against the president. he wants to fight the president on the economic issues, the most important issues of the day, but it is interesting in that same "new york times" article and they got a copy of this proposal, it was linked to them someone who was very disturbed by it according to the "new york times" and that statement that rickets was adamantly rejecting this strategy was not included in the "new york times" story so my sense since the story came out and i think posted over night in the "new york times" website obviously in the "new york times" this morning -- >> so he had to jump to react quickly. >> it caused a huge backlash and i think what's going on, ashley, a lot of moderate republicans, moderate democrats, the independents who will determine who the next president of the united states is in those ten or 12 battle ground states, the fear and romney is totally disass

. >> reporter: brian baker when originally asked by "the new york times" about the story said, quote,oposal and he now wishes that he would have been clear that when he said those comments that he meant, quote, that we are not moving forward and i think that could have nipped this in the bud earlier and now it's a full-blown controversy. he wishes he would have said that to "the new york times" it's a nonstarter and we're not involved in this and this story has blown up as a result. thanks very, very much for that. let's discuss what's going on with two cnn contributors, the democratic strategist james carville and david frum. what do you think about this? >> i think that's a man that got religion fast. he's got a lot of phone calls and it's understandable and every family's got a grandpa, and i suspect that everybody has like everybody else and he saw the light and got out pretty quick and tried to get out in front of this thing. >> reporter: what do you think, david? >> it's either a good thing for chicago, or not a good thing for chicago, to have a mayor say i'm not going talk to t
