hillary clinton deleted emails and we have the testimony of the james baker the exact date they bleached it. he was talked out of it by his boss jim comey and others. this testimony released on baker is revealing what is rampant anti-trump bias inside the highest levels of the fbi. not rank-and-file. we have been right all along. the chosen candidate hillary clinton got a free pass. a dual system of justice. no equal justice under the law. trump was persecuted. they wanted him to lose and had an insurance policy when he won. baker was alarmed and freaked out when he saw the anti-trump text between fbi investigator strzok and lisa page. strzok interviewed hillary clinton. and james baker revealed that hillary clinton's phoney russian dossier played into the investigation of trump. clinton paid for. it it was not verified and the author. he doesn't stand by it. in other words, there would have been no probable cause to investigate the campaign without clinton's dirty russian dossier. baker read the dossier. he admits prior to the election. that came out today. a personal relationship with

james baker, extremely serious. you know, with remarkable consistency every time we get one of these transcripts from a senior fbi official, senior justice department official, senior national security official who is at all involved in this investigation, they describe their work in 2016 in these very simple terms. they saw signs of the russian government interfering to try to influence our election, and they saw all these unexplained contacts between russians and the trump campaign, and they were concerned about the implications of that. they were concerned that the country and therefore the trump campaign itself, they were concerned that the campaign should be protected from whatever was going on. i mean, weirdly, it is the republicans in congress who have been unilaterally releasing these transcripts over the past few weeks. i don't know what smoking gun they expect us to find here. i mean, nobody in these interviews has even hinted at the possibility that there was any politically motivated spying on the trump

james baker was quite worried, proclaimed in political bias was affecting the fbi's investigation into then candidate hillary clinton, thanks to john solomon, we also know and i expect we will have confirmed tomorrow, that baker later testified in a different closed-door hearing. hillary clinton's misconduct was alarming and appalling. and baker said this, and its key: he believed that clinton should have been indicted with crimes, the espionage act, all of these liberals concerned spabout obstruction of justice. there was intent when hillary deleted emails and acid washed her hard drive, and we have the testimony of james baker today, the exact date that they used bleach pit. but of course, he was talked out of it by his boss, jim comey and a few others. that is not all. at this testimony released on baker today is revealing what is rampant is rampant anti-trumpet bias inside the highest levels of the fbi. not rank-and-file. it's what we have been saying all along, we've been right all along, the chosen candidate,il hillary clinton, got a free pass. we have a dual system of justice. a

a scene that was set in the george h w bush administration when i worked for secretary of state james bakerthe madrid—middle east peace conference. and that really was the point at which american power and diplomacy was at their peak. but then, over the course of the following three decades, part of it was sort of the natural evolution of events, as other powers rose in the world. part of it had to do with unforced errors, particularly in iraq in 2003 on the part of american administrations. but part of it also reflected a drift in the priority that american administrations attached to american diplomacy as a tool of pursuing our interests in the world. i think after the end of the cold war, there was a sense of complacency. we went through a period of significant budget cuts driven by congress. then came the huge shock to our system in 9/11, and a further emphasis on military and intelligence tools of foreign policy, with diplomacy often times treated as an under—resourced afterthought. it seems to me there is a structural thing here. when you set out in the early 1990s, you were laborious

now. >> sean: sarah. >> sara: we have to look at james comey, peter strzok, the doj and possibly james bakerou think, john? >> : a lot of people in jeopardy. almost 100 people interviewed on the investigation and that is exhaustive. we will see the fbi. >> sean: james comey said he had the right to remain silent and should have used it a long time ago. thank you all. when we come back college admission scandal trace gallagher with the details plus you will not believe congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez's at this time. cara mucci, here with that and more as we continue. no i'm serious, i live here now. book at hilton.com and get the hilton price match guarantee. he more. car vending machines and buying a car 100% online.vented now we've created a brand new way for you to sell your car. whether it's a year old or a few years old, we want to buy your car. so go to carvana and enter your license plate, answer a few questions, and our techno-wizardry calculates your car's value and gives you a real offer in seconds. when you're ready, we'll come to you, pay you on the spot, and pick up your c

james baker said this in his testimony. amendment conversation, my understanding was that there was a conversation in which it was said i believe by the deputy attorney general that there were -- that there were two members of the cabinet who were willing to go down this road already." james baker's transcript comes after former fbi acting director andrew mccabe said earlier this year that rod rosenstein had discussed with him an effort to use the 25th amendment. >> the deputy attorney general was definitely very concerned about the president, about his capacity and about his intent at that point in time. >> rosenstein was actually openly talking about whether there was a majority of the cabinet who would vote to remove the president? >> that is correct. counting votes or possible votes. >> justice department officials have said that rod rosenstein was joking about wearing a wire to record the president, but james baker says this about that claim in his testimony. "this was not a joking sort of time. this was pretty dark."

like we saw, oh, closed-door testimony from james baker, stzrok, page, bruce and nellie ohr and more coming. the attorney general announcing his investigation into the investigation and, yes, he is using the word spying on the trump campaign. and a witch hunt against the sitting president. the criminal referrals from congressman devin nunes and, of course, the horowitz fisa investigation which week expect completed by may and congressmen mark meadows and jim jordan, they said they expect criminal referrals from that inspector general report. don't forget another investigation, the huber investigation on leaking. then the president said two and a half weeks on the program the fisa applications, maintained with hillary clinton's bought and paid for russian lies and dossier. as the bulk ofru d the foundati, 302s, getting a rate information, all forthcoming, and all of us will show exactly what we have been telling you is true. there will be indictments, criminal referrals and likely people to go to jail that abused power, that were corrupt. whether the media mob likes it or not, i hope

james baker who was a top lawyer for the obama fbi and the one in charge of helping them present their evidence to judges, he admitted it himself under oath saying that he never bothered to check the sources of the dossier. so using flimsy as evidence to spy on innocent citizens, that could very well be a crime. and if this indeed happens, as many believe it did, is some deep state types deliberately spied on the term campaign than some people might even go to jail. the punishment, it will have to fit the crime. our privacy, our rights as citizens, these are ideas that we hold. deal unto dear as americans. no government will take that from us. not if the american people have anything to say about it. which is why rod rubenstein has every right to be exposing this into be a little bit annoyed. watch. >> the previous administration chose not to publicize the full story about russian computer hackers and social media trolls, the fbi disclosed classified information about the investigation and selected lawmakers in the stuffers, someone selected information to the news media, the fbi direc

james baker wanted to indict her. there were private, top secret, marked classified emails on that private server. that, by definition, she committed felonies, gregg laid it out often on this program. now the next part of this, democrats talked about obstruction. well, we have an underlying crime. we now know -- we knew then, we know now. nobody goes through the effort of deleting 33,000 emails and cleaning up the hard drive with beat bit, normal people don't do that, do they? >> no, normal people do not do that. people with intent to that. it showsin that she has intenti. she knew something was wrong. she spent her whole life in government, sean. i don't believets she wants to be the center of attention. i believe she is fighting for her life. she knows and for her reputation she knows exactly what she did. she is trying, like the rest of them -- >> sean: does she know she is in legal jeopardy right now? >> i think she absolutely knowsly she is in legal jeopardy. she is a lawyer. she knows exactly what's going on her

now i would like to introduce our panel, thomas boston and one of the great public servants ever, james baker. [ applause ] >> secretary baker as your best friend we get a chance to go down memory road let's start at the beginning. in the 1960s you and george h.w. bush first bonded as a winning team on the houston tennis circuit as doubles partners.>> first we bonded as losing teams. >> and then we won the houston country club championship in 66 and 67 so how did his personality manifest itself on the tennis court? >> if you had a serve as weak as yours you had to have a strong personality but we both had the weakest serves anybody has ever seen i don't know how we want any tournament. much less the championship two years in a row but heffy was an extraordinarily good net player and he was a competitor like you have never seen i mean she would never give up we would be down 6-0 and he would say we are going to win this thing and we played a lot with hector and others and he was a good tennis player but he had the ability to play soak areas along and make it close but heffy always thought we w

the twenty sixteen presidential campaign as well as after trump became president according to james baker's testimony clinton linked officials discussed wiretapping trump as it talked about the possibility of the f.b.i. using the twenty fifth amendment seen as a way for congress and the cabinet to remove the president for the new york times allegedly also involved like you said that he felt extremely uncomfortable about developments from the very beginning. i had a jaundiced eye about everything i had skepticism about all this stuff and was concerned about all of this this whole situation was horrible and was not will and who were trying to figure out what to do and was highly unusual political commentator who you know rivera told us that the story raises questions about some prominent democrats. when you have that many people who are tied to hillary clinton trying to pass off these phony stories to the intelligence community i think that the fact that you know christopher steele there michael sussman who was hillary clinton's lawyer there glenn simpson of fusion g.p.s. did all of these peo

this panel followed a conversation with james baker who served as secretary of state and white house chief of staff. the george w. bush presidential center hosted this 40 minute event. >> when it comes to president bush 41, there is no greater treasure trove of story then in addition to secretary baker, which was a real treasure, the former aides to president bush. tom had a long run as president bush's aide from 2000 to 2007, which included a number of disaster relief initiatives from around the world. today he is the managing director at avenue capital. moderating tonight is the director of a leadership program here at the bush institute. she is qualified because she served as personal aide to laura bush in the white house from 2003 to 2009. please welcome our panel to the stage. [applause] >> this is going to be fun. we all know the bush's have a great sense of humor, so we should start right there following those hilarious videos. >> humor was a critical part of the presidency under mr. bush. secretary baker referred to the national security team. at some point, president bush cr

his family friend and former secretary of state, james baker rjs so some people in the press were criticizingwere saying we're not challenging an election. we were preserving a result. we were never behind in the count. never. >> for 35 days the country is in suspense. what is florida going to do? >> it's bogged down in legal issues with both sides challenging the process in florida's courts. >> we never knew from day-to-day whether we were going to win a lawsuit or lose it. >> the bush legal team quickly figure out that their best chance of winning this battle is to do it in the federal courts. >> with florida in stalemate the bush team wins their bid for the case to be referred to the u.s. supreme court. >> the united states supreme court reached a decision. >> on december 12th, the court rules in bush's favor. >> this is indeed a victory for george w. bush in florida and as we all know that would give george bush the presidency. >> the supreme court voted 5-4 with the 5 republicans voting for bush and i think it was a partisan decision. >> and they're lying in bed watching television and t

in regards to fisa abuses look at james baker, the general counsel of the fbi, the doj's 5 the guy beforeoming to the fbi. there is something there and the other names too, the people that signed the fisa application whether is mccabe, sally yates and rod rosenstein funded the last application. what is his role in this including the 25th amendment. shannon: todd: 1 about the global leak referral devon nunez mentioned? >> this is also position. i don't know who this is. is that john brennan? clapper? i don't know. i think john brennan was more of a puppetmaster than people first thought. >> you have this list, these committal referrals, eight to the doj? what happens next? what could be the outcome for all this? >> this is up to 2 dozen criminal referrals and what can happen, he referred these to ag bar, he will look at these results and i have to tell you i don't think he will dismiss these out of hand, the former head of the house intelligence committee making these referrals. if he decides to take them up and investigate them and does find criminal behavior people go to jail and that's

and already received through sorely, peter strzok, james baker and fbi and doj officials involved in the witch hunt and it was against donald trump. the free pass given of course, they literally give a get out of paris jail card because they like hillary. the guy that interviewed peter strzok commission went 100 to zero. we have been classified material that was found on unsecured private server that was managed by networks. it was in a bathroom closet. she committed a real crime. and for us had a real intent to obstruct justice by destroying . hence, 33,000 deleted acid washed emails. the media on thursday will pretend to care about obstruction of justice. meanwhile, lithium will ignore the biggest slam-dunk of obstruction of justice case, that is right hillary's case. democrats, they believe all the cavanaugh the kuiper -- a kuiper -- accusers, deafening lieutenant governor, he has been accused of rate and violent sexual assault so where are all the eye believers? obstruction matters but only if it is trump, not hillary clinton. charges of rate serious sexual assault, only matters

the intelligence community did, there were no checks and balances, there were no fact checker, james baker claimed that he never looked at the underlying documents. that tonight is the country in which we live? people can make up lies about an opponent. put it in writing then get a fisa warrant to spy on american citizens? think about that, know the whole mueller collusion issue is about to get a lot bigger. hillary clinton seems to know that. but perhaps, as usual she doesn't get it. her new op-ed, rights mueller report document a serious crime against american people, that part is right. you know but then, what she doesn't get is that she is the one -- her party is the one at faulted. stop trying to turn the tables here, hillary clinton, the crime is not a president insisting on his innocence for a made up crime. but the making up of a crime itself. we need to be taken deeper, we'll dig deeper, we must know how big our government really is. and how much of a deep state conspired against the will of the american people. joining me right now, with more former deputy as i aterry terchd greg

nelly, bruce ohr, lisa page, james baker, the general counsel who said the following.inton's behavior as relates to the server where she had top secret classified information on it as alarming and appalling and argued that he thought that she should be charg charged. and page and strzok said, both of them, they had no control over that investigation at all. although strzok himself did the interview, allowed two other people in the interview, which is unheard of and was writing her exoneration in may before interviewing her in july and exonerating her three days later. comey did that part. do you believe that investigation to hillary was a rigged investigation and should begin anew? >> look, i don't know that because we didn't look at all that information. i will say that i don't know how destroying a server that shouldn't have been there in the first place is not obstructing justice. another important point -- >> sean: with classified information on it. >> we're still waiting on transcripts with classified information on it. i want to remind the viewers, we still have

them has ever talked about the fact that james comey's lead counsel, the head counsel of the fbi, james baker, wanted to indict hillary and also hillary and her team deleted 30,000 emails, acid washed her hard drive. that's the biggest slam dunk obstruction case i've ever heard of. does the media that is back to their tinfoil hat conspiracies, do they ever report this? do they really care about obstruction or is it sort of like they only care about beating up trump? like, for example, they want to beat up justice kavanaugh and any accusation against any republican. why is the "i believe" people so quiet as it relates to the lieutenant governor of the commonwealth of virginia. oh, they only care if it's a republican that's involved. i got it. if they cared about dreamers, daca, and the second term of barack obama, they actually cared about building a wall and willing to fund it, they don't really care about it because donald trump supports it. their rage for trump goes that deep. that's how hypocritical they are. joining us now, dan bongino and geraldo rivera. this double standard i'm describi

. >> heading the bush legal team and his family friend and former secretary of state, james baker. >>ging an election and our position was wait a minute, we are not challenging the election. we were preserving the result. we were never behind in the count. never. >> for 35 days, the country is in suspense. what is florida going to do? >> the recount is bogged down in legal issues with both sides challenging the process in florida's courts. >> that was a real merry go round. we never knew from day to day whether we were going to win a lawsuit. there was a lot of lawsuits. >> the bush legal people figured out that their best chance of winning this battle is to do it in the federal courts. >> with florida in stalemate, the bush team wins their bid for the case to be referred to the u.s. supreme court. >> cnn has just learned that the u.s. supreme court has reached a decision. >> on december 12th, the court rules in bush's favor. >> this is indeed a victory for george w. bush in florida. as we all know, that would mean of course that would give george bush the presidency. >> the supreme c

james baker said, hillary clinton's bought and paid for dos dos yay by david corn and a lawyer associated with the clinton campaign fnl the contents of the dossier were being passed around at the highest level of the g oj, fbi, intel community, around the same time that clint know was cleared of all charges. baker testified he thought hilary clinton should have been indicted, he's the top lawyer under comey. quote, i had that belief initially, after reviewing a large binder of her e-mails, that had classified information in them. that is a have i laismghtz 18 usc 793. that's thesque nawj act. baker said he was persuaded out of it by his colleagues. they wanted the clinton matter under the rug. even page said, the fix was in. all the decisions are made by loretta lynch and the democrats at the dcht justice. look at our new time line how. do we get to this point. july 10. 2015. fbiopened a criminal investigation code name "mate mityear exam" and to hilary clinton's handling classified information on that private server. september 2015, obama's a.g. loretta lynch asked the fbidirector comb t

them has ever talked about the fact that james comey's lead counsel, the head counsel of the fbi, james baker, wanted to indict hillary because he believed she violated the espionage act. that would be a crime. and also, hillary literally had 30,000 e-mails, acid washed a hard drive, beat up the blackberries and phones with hammers and removed the sim cards. that's the biggest slam dunk obstruction case i've ever heard of. does the -- back to their tinfoil hat conspiracy, do they ever report this? do they really care about obstruction? or is it sort of like they only care about beating up trump? like, for example, they want to beat up justice kavanaugh. and they want to beat up any republican and the accusation against any republican. why is the -- i believe people so quiet as it relates to the lieutenant government of the commonwealth of virginia. oh, because they only care if it's a republican that's involved. i got it. if they care about dreamers, daca, and the second term of barack obama, they care about building a wall and willing to fund it, they don't really care about dreamers, daca,

remember that i was almost a kid when james baker was involved in the iraq war. he went in his morning briefing to the press and said publicly, in front of all of the cameras, when israel becomes serious about the peace process, here's the telephone number of the state department. he just stated the number. so one more move, and israel would know its place. in the near future i don't see that is happening -- as happening. i think in part because there's no pressure on america to change its policy. and you don't get anything for free in politics. in the coming feature, i do not see change in american policy. again, i am hopeful because i am ignorant. [laughter] gerry: the extremism of the trump administration has opened more space for debate within the american public. raef: i see that. gerry: more divergent abuse today about where the u.s. should be on u.s.-palestinian issues than five or 10 years ago. raef: if we want to see good signs, israel wants a consensus between democrats and republicans. administration, it is becoming that it is not that way anymore. isr

secretary of state james baker tried to play it down. >> this procedure will not be used absent a fully discussion of all aspects of it. >> reporter: finally, in 1993, long after congress first suspended the full report, it was made public. barr was long gone from his position at the doj. the clinton administration published barr's full 29-page opinion. allowing the public to see it for the first time. it turns out barr omitted key principle conclusions in his summary to congress. in it, barr failed to disclose his full 1999 opinion concluded the president has the power to authorize actions that violate the u.n. charter and also the attorney general as well as the president have executive power to authorize overseas abductions. >> it ought to be a very rare thing. we can't be an international rambo wandering around doing whatever we want regardless of international law. >> reporter: another key omission. barr failed to tell lawmakers that in his full opinion from fine 89, he concluded that the president can override customary international law. he had told congress that the full docume

we have the closed-door trust we will other people, bruce ohr, peter strzok and lisa page, now james bakerl counsel who said the following, describedsc clinton's behavior as it relates to the server where she had top secret classified information on it as alarming and appalling and argued that he thought that she should be charged, and page and peter strzok said, both of them, they had no control over that investigation at all, although peter strzok himself that the tinterview, allowed two other people in the interview, which is unheard of, and was writing her exoneration in may before interviewing her in july. exonerating her three days later. comey did that part. do you believe that that investigation into hillary was a rigged investigation and showed it to a new? >> i don't know that because we didn't look at all that information. know howy that i don't destroying a server that should have been there in the first place was not obstruction justice. another important what you talked about -- >> sean: with classified information! >> we are waiting on transcripts. i want to remind the viewe

i was just reading james baker's testimony to congress, the fbi counsel.s extraordinary, to me, how casually the top fbi brass talked about launching an investigation into the president. lisa page said even a month later there was a paucity of evidence. how casually these people used their power to do that -- elizabeth: yeah. >> and yet now these people are indignant that we might ask them to justify -- elizabeth: that's the point. listen, this is about our values as a country. whether it's obama or trump, whoever's sitting in the chair, do we want opposition surveilling lance with thin proof? and by the way, comey said that was an verified dossier. >> it's still unverified. elizabeth: here's the text messages between lisa page and peter strzok where page said is trump really going to become president, is that going to happen, and peter strzok said, no, no, we're going to stop it x. then the fbi started wiretapping, right? >> no, it's outrageous. they were so casual about doing that, and they don't want accountability. they don't rule the country, and this

we still don't know about that whole wire story james baker testified behind closed doors that he offeredand see about the competency of the presidency to see if he could flip. he denies that said it was sar sass stickily read. he said don't believe everything you read we get along fine. he traveled out to long island to do an opioid conference with the president. i saw him talking casually with the president. he also made it clear in that speech i did not tell anybody i was going to turn over everything that we got in the mueller probe. i was going to let everybody know if there were criminal referrals from that. so, the attorney general overproduced from what rod rosenstein promised. final thought? >> yeah. give rosenstein credit. he has been right there at barr's side. and backed up the attorney general decisions on this report about what would be disclosed. look, that was incredibly wholesome report, brian. you could read just about anything it. only thing redacted is stuff under law that really does need to be redawcketted for sources and methods and important national security impli

however secretary of state james baker says this new procedure will not be used without a full discussion of the obvious foreign policy implications. >> mr. president, the l.a. times is reporting tonight that the president has given the fbi the ability to arrest foreign fugitives without the country's consent. can you tell us what led up to this event? the fbi can go to panama now? >> i'm embarrassed to say i don't know what it is -- i'll have to get back to you with an answer to your question. i've not seen the l.a. times reports and i'll not comment until i do. >> arlin, do we get the l.a. times here? what is this? i mean, here is this new president on shaky ground who's had a really big foreign policy national security crisis in his first six months in office. right, he was been ineffectually noncommittee saber rattling for months how he wants there to be a coup in panama. he wants the leader there to be overthrown. the u.s. will be there. if the panamanian people, the pan minion military just rise up and topple the leader the u.s. will be there. after months of saying that and then no

in his memoir, paul volker, now in his 90s, tells the story james baker, then chief of staff for ronaldhe white house before the '84 election and says the president orders you not to raise interest rates. volcker turned and walked out the door without saying a word. so improper was the assumption that presidents could dictate to the chairman of the federal reserve board. >> and that's the kind of person that people -- that the senate has always been looking for, certainly when they get to the confirmation process, which i know in my experience, this position they took much more seriously than most. >> it's very interesting. the federal reserve is a creature of congress. congress created it. it could, if it wanted, dictate monetary policy. in spite of repeated intermittent urgings for it to do so, it has always refused, a sign of great institutional maturity that some things should be beyond politics and monetary policy is one of them. >> we have a report from "the kansas city star" that herman cain referred to the senate banking committee, referred to them, "as a bunch of yahoos." not s

james baker's testimony.now andrew mccabe has asked for his testimony to be released because he believes it will show that he didn't need -- that he did have other information besides the dossier. are you going to release andrew mccabe's testimony as well? >> well, let mr. mccabe understand is he definitely in line. also understand mccabe was interviewed very early in the process, we will continue to look at that mr. mccabe has a lot of answering and i know he wants to sell books but he has a lot answering to do as well u. >> martha: you say you will release his testimony. >> it is in the process, yes. >> martha: thank you very much, sir. >> good to be with you. >> martha: moments ago outgoing dhs secretary kirstjen nielsen tweeting that another official is leaving the department quote acting deputy secretary claire grady has offered the president her resignation effective tomorrow. for the last two years claire has served the department of homeland security can excellence and distinction. she has been valuab

have a back and forth with a larger and larger cast of characters, some of will, like mccabe and james bakerder criminal referral, and the democratic party, in suspended animation, this was going on, they didn't feel they had to come up with an agenda, a menu, and all of a sudden it is gone. trump is going to be president until 2020, but in the process, they try to outdo each other in revolutionary fear, so now we have 90% tax rate, wealth tax, green deal, reparations, and fantasized permissible abortion come abolish i.c.e., abolish electoral come all of these issues were not 51% issues, and when you add to that toxic mix, the antiwhite male sort of narrative that you don't want a white male, and then the polls show the three leading candidates -- >> martha: all fall into that category. that is a lot there, and there are a couple of things i want to drill down on. you mentioned john brennan, and the possibility of his involvement, and i want to point out, there are two main venues for the kind of turning the tables you talk about it. one is the inspector general, michael horowitz at that apa

however, secretary of state james baker said this new procedure will not be used without a full discussion of the obvious foreign policy implicati implications. >> mr. president, the "l.a. times" is reporting today, given the fbi the go-ahead to arrest fugitives in foreign countries without the foreign countries' consent. can you tell us what led up to this event and perhaps -- >> now, i'm -- >> the fbi can go into panama now? >> i'm embarrassed to say i don't know what it is -- i'll have to get back to you with the answer to your question. marlon? can you take care of that? >> i'm not sure -- >> i don't know what it is -- i've not seen the "l.a. times" report so i just have to not comment until i do. >> marlon? marlon? do you know? do we get the "l.a. times" here? what is this? i mean, here is this new president on shaky ground who's had a really big foreign policy national security crisis in his first six months in office. right? he has been ineffectually noncommitly saber rattling for months. he wants a coup in panama. the u.s. will be there. if the panamanian people, panamanian militar

>> i mean, i remember that i was almost a kid when james baker -- after the iraq war and the shamir government. and he went in his morning briefing to the press. and he said publicly in front of all cameras, when israel becomes serious about the peace process, here is the telephone number of the state department. and he just stated the number. so one small move by american government administration and israel would know it's place. will that happen? in the near future, i don't see that as happening. i must say. why is that? i think in part because there is no arab pressure on america to change its policy. and you don't get anything for free in politics. so in the coming future, i don't see any change in american policy. but as i said, things -- things can change. i -- again, i am hopeful because i'm ignorant. >> well, one of the things that's interesting, of course, is that the extremism of the trump administration on niece issues has in a sense opened up more space for debate about it within the american public. >> i see that. >> and that is there is more divergence of views on where the u.s.

[laughter] then we won a couple. talmage: then you won the houston country club championship in 1966 and 1967. how did george bush's personality manifest itself on the tennis court? mr. baker: you know, if you had a serve as week as george bush [laughter] you had to have a strong personality. but we both had the weakest serves anyone has ever seen. i don't know how the hell we won any tournament, much less the championship two years in a row. but heffy was a good net player. and he was a competitor like you have never seen. he would never give up. we would be down 6-0, 5-0, and he would say, we are going to win this thing. and we would go out and played a lot with the club pro, whose

the justice department said permission is not needed from foreign countries however section james bakernot be used without a full discussion of the obvious foreign policy implications. >> guess who was the justice department lawyer who declared the fbi could arrest fugitives, and not just americans overseas, even if those arrests violate international law? while, it was william barr, then the head of the office of legal counsel and current jump con sig leary. my next guest said the circumstances surrounding barr's situation are eerily familiar. joining us now special counsel at the university of new york, secretary of defense. thank you very much very much. you're proof twitter could yield good things. i saw your piece posted on twitter and was like immediately we have to get this pman on the show. can you explain what william barr did in 1979. >> sure, it is leaked to "l.a. times" and found later that day and laid the groundwork of snagging panama at the time. barr was ask, what about the report, he said it's totally confident. cannot talk about it. that does break down pretty immediat
