the ftc wants to know why james baker was fired. why? because he was with the fbi?ere so they can monitor? the other excuse that they are using as they are saying look there was a consent decree before elon musk even bought twitter and we've got to make sure that the company has the ability to comply with the $150 million settlement. musk says what are you talking about question what they were going bankrupt. now i have a company and i am taking it green again. this is classic left ideology, go after them, trash the first amendment. it doesn't matter. it's shocking and embarrassing to anyone who is a first amendment attorney that they dare do this. >> jesse: shouldn't the biden administration kiss the ground that elon musk walk song because of all he's doing with green tech? >> geraldo: i don't know about that but as a journalist for over half a century can say definitively that government and journalism are different. there should be a wall between the two, don't come looking for the reporter's name. that is the laziest way to investigate anything. you have to let

i put him in the company of the great white house chief of staff including james baker the third under ryan -- ronald reagan, leon panetta under bill clinton. he has a rare set of schools that includes white house experience, knowledge of capitol hill, deep political savvy, a very even temperament, and maybe most importantly a long relationship with the boss. what that enables the white house chief of staff to do among other things is tell the president what he does not want to hear which is the most important thing. i think the new chief of staff has very big shoes to fill. >> what do you know about him? >> he is regarded as a managerial genius. he's made a lot of money in the private sector but he's a guy who's brilliant at making government work. when the obama health care website imploded, nobody had the foggiest idea how to fix it. they called him and he fix it. he ran the coronavirus response team and got 220 million americans vaccinated. he has a temperament that is syria -- similar. he's well-liked. the only thing he may lack is his deep political savvy and the decades long rel

s. top diplomat james baker had threatened to do to iraq's foreign minister at the time. there was no way to stop this war. the government was destroyed with its armed formations and the security forces at a tragic time. everything was devastated. cities, bridges, factories and power plants, baghdad, and other cities were plundered. the state reserves were looted, iraq was turned into a bare, destitute, destroyed, and powerless country. no people are state has witnessed such a tragedy with such massive devastation. a whole generation has emerged in fear, despite not being responsible for what happened. even we, the service men felt lost at the time, wondering how we could support our families. there were also a lot of other issues. we were completely desperate america leone to day iraq is in the terrible situation. the occupiers who came with their tanks harmed iraq, and it's people, as i have said, in many television interviews, the u. s. troops did not find weapons of mass destruction. instead they planted weapons of mass destruction in the form of these political parti

>> ashley: isn't it odd they are specific about james baker? >> joe: yeah, why is that?you. it is elon musk's company, they can hire and fire whoever they want. this is why there is such low trust in government and institutions in general when we see our government acting this way and putting their nose and butting into situations they have no business butting into. >> todd: ftc is engaging in hr question, that is not in their purview. isn't this biden and democrats thinks that the way government should work that you should be able to use the power of administrative institutions to abuse your enemy? >> joe: that is the way it works in moscow or pyeongchang or a democracy, which we are in, not how it should work. >> ashley: sounds like meddling to me. mlb should boycott florida under desantis, arguing baseball can no longer ignore ron desantis culture war and demand teams go west. the person who wrote this, they are not from florida, i wonder what people in florida will say how this will affect their economy? if you have no skin in it, stay out of it. >> joe: kevin blacks

james baker and my estimate is one of the great statesman this country has ever had.ate, secretary of treasury. i'm not sure he was qualified for all those but he had a set of values, had a sense of the job and he knew how to lead and if this guy knows how to lead, 25 years in the military to me is a metaphor and a sense of maybe he does know how to lead. rising to the rank of major but if he doesn't have the votes, they should put someone else. >> judge jeanine: 25 years in the military is an indication he can lead, then why is he running chick-fil-a at the airport? >> harold: he is not running chick-fil-a. >> kennedy: i've spent a lot of time at the denver international airport. it's a great airport. so well done. but you're right, don't mess with the planes. we cannot have tragedies. we've had so many near misses and near collisions on airport runways, planes essentially dropping out of the sky. we are very lucky that the pilots were confident enough to bring them back before they crashed into the ocean create severe turbulence. a lot of this does go on the shoulde

. >> brian: james baker august of 2020. >> steve: let's see if they get a smoking gun.they got smoking guns. >> steve: we just saw that back and forth about timing. meanwhile, speaking of timing. it was crazy timing if you were watching the oscars last year. you saw chris rock, the host make a joke and next thing you know will smith came up and slapped him. well, we did not hear from chris rock about how he felt about it until he had a netflix special. it was last week. we saw it. it was great. 8 minutes of it. here's a portion of chris rock talking about the slap heard around the world. >> yawrl know what happened to me, getting smacked by sug smith. people it didn't hurt. it still hurts. i got summertime ringing in my ears. but not a victim, baby. you will never see me on oprah or gayle crying. you will never see it. will smith practices selective outrage. practices selective outrage because everybody knows what the [bleep] happened. everyone who really knows knows i had nothing to do with that [bleep]. i didn't have any entanglements. she hurt him way more than he hu

so, there really wasn't much doubt about the provenance of that laptop, but you had jame baker making a strenuous argument and of course, you get to a few days after the october 14th release, you have the president of the united states echoing what these former intelligence community officials were saying, which is that it looked liked a russian influence operation. they were claiming that the laptop was made public by a conspiracy theory and the conspiracy theory that somehow the russians got it and basically, they convinced roth that it was, this wild hack and leak story that somehow the russians stole it, got the information, gave it to the computer store owner and it was bizarre. you read that chain of events and appears there's an organized influence operation to pre-bunk. >> why? why do you think they could predict the time, method and the person? why could the fbi predict it? they-- not only did they predict it, they predicted it and so did the aspen institute, seems like everyone was in the know, here is what's going to happen. we can read the future. what do you think? how we

james baker, in my estimate,s ba is one of the great statesmekern this country has ever had. had.secretary of state, secretary of treasury, nof stateo, i'm noe he was qualified for those jobs. >> but he he ht he he haadd a he a set of values. he had a sense of the job, but he knew how to lead.y knows ho so if this guy knows how to lead in twenty five years in the military, which to me is aef is in a sense that maybe he doe does know how to lead in some ways rising how at the ranf major. votes >> if he can't do it, if you don't have the votes, they should put someone else in the job. >> j twenty to twenty five years, i don't know, militarizing. whg chen why is you running chick fil a at the airport? he's not runningirport? . you know, i've spent a lot of time in the denver national airport. it's a great airportin.ternat they a nightclub. i want to give them a big shoutl out. it's going well down there. but jesse's right. but don't mess with the planes., do' we we cannot have tragedies. we've had so many near misses as so many near collisionssion on airport runways and planes essent

but they transcend politics, in yesterday's hearing, in the oversight committee, james baker said he also thought there might be a need for legislation. this is the former twitter executive, former fbi general counsel. he said there might be need for legislation to limit the role of the fbi and other agencies in their relationship with social media companies. i think that is true. one of the reasons this committee has a difficult task before it is that there is a crisis of faith. it is not just simply our constitutional values. whole polls are showing that people have a distrust for the federal government but also the fbi. 20% in a recent poll said the fbi was the greatest threat to the country. only 40% of americans said they trust the fbi most the time. 53% said they felt the fbi was acting politically. i'm not saying that those results are warranted. what i'm saying is it's a serious problem. when the public, large portions of it, have that level of distrust. my testimony that i submitted to the record goes through the constitutional case law that applies to this issue of when the

. >> welcome to the "wall street journal at large" i am james freeman emperor gerry baker. history has been made in america this week and probably not something we can look back on with pride manhattan democratic district attorney has recycle the case rejected by other prosecutors in may donald trump indicted on thursday the first former u.s. president to face terminal charges the specific allegations from da alvin bragg aren't public yet but the case is likely an attempt to turn a dubious misdemeanor case of allegedly false record-keeping into a federal crime like claiming money to buy the silence of an alleged mistress constitutes campaign spending. trump is expected to turn himself in early next week though he denied any wrongdoing for the implications are buried and terrible for the country it's not clear if democrat to support the case want to see trump on trial because they want him to be the republican presidential nominee again or because they don't this is a big question for 2024 will criminal charges drive voters away from trump will bring them into his corner. we

raised with the two secretaries the successful 1990, 1991 partnership between secretary of state james baker and secretary of treasury nicholas brady in developing an active solicitation of major countries from around the world to fund the u.s. enforcement of the united nations security council resolution authorizing use of force to liberate kuwait from iraq's illegal invasion of their sovereign territory. the result was the united states received contributions from around the world of some $53 billion against an estimated total cost to eject saddam hussein from kuwait of $60 billion. now, while some of those contributions were in the form of in kind material support, more than 90% was paid in cash. the united states must be more strongly engaged with our allies to share a greater financial burden for that military, humanitarian and budget support for the government of ukraine. just a few days ago on february 20, japan pledged $5.5 billion in additional aid to ukraine. this is on top of the $1.3 billion in financial humanitarian assistance it had already pledged. this is a recent example of

now we spoke with the co director of programs for the ella baker human rights center. james king, has been an advocate for prison reforms. he was incarcerated at saint quentin for six years and was released when his sentence was commuted. back in 2019. he says he applauds the governor's idea to focus on rehabilitation at san quentin, but is worried about how well it could actually work in a prison setting. i don't believe that, um. prisons are the most effective site for rehabilitation. um or even a feasible site for rehabilitation . there's a saying we had that i've heard over the years. you can't get well in a cell. i'm very glad the governor's thinking about this, i think even more imagination and more creativity is called for. there's a way to bring people home, offer them the same services and, um, resources in the community that will be much more effective. we also contacted the union for california prison guards to california correctional peace officers association for their take on the governor's plans for san quentin. we did not hear back from them. but the presiden
