. >> rose: what is this that makes jim baker jim baker? >> you know, that exactly is why we started out on this project. the thing that is so remarkable is that he was both the secretary of state but also the gold standard for white house chief of staff. he ran the white house during reagan's first term. he also ran five different republican presidential campaigns. and today you can imagine basically having sort of karl rove and secretary of state all wrapped up in one it is very unusual to marry both politics and foreign policy in the way that baker did. i do attribute it to the fact that he has this inmate skills to sort of read a problem. he's also looking to make a deal in fact even now at 86 that is the thing that gets him really excited is this idea where is the hole, where is the opening. so here you have this new guy in the white house who talks about the art of the deal. and i think that is what has been fascinating to jim baker, to try to work through the puzzle of trump. on the one hand, he's attracted by the possibility that tr

what makes jim baker jim baker? >> that is why we started this project.he secretary of state and the gold standard for the chief of staff and he had run five different republican presidential campaigns. it is difficult to marry politics and foreign policy in the way that baker did and i attribute this to the fact that he has skills to read a problem and is always -- you have this new guy who talks about the art of the deal and i think it is interesting to jim aker, trying to work through this puzzle of donald trump, attracted by the possibility that donald trump offers and the critique of how you make a deal with mexico, when you are busy angering them. >> when he was the secretary of state for george bush and the gulf war was upon them, he said, i went to see assad's father and i went 13 times and he said, i am not joining you. he went 14 times and, on the 15th, he said, i will. it was because baker had the focus in the sense of, if i just keep at this, i will obtain my objective. >> that is where the early critique of the trump team has come down. there

you know and i know, say, go back to jim baker. when jim baker was george h.w.secretary of state. everyone around the world knew when jim baker talked he was speaking with the full backing and thfort president. i'm not so sure that when rex tillerson speaks people are going to be able to assume that, if donald trump is tweeting certain things or various people at the white house are saying or doing things that are inconsistent with what the message is supposed to be. >> rose: because it's in the nature of his d.n.a. to be hands on and it's okay to tell people what he thinks. >> another thing. donald trump if you read the inaugural speech, the entire intellectual assumption of the speech is that the united states is getting ripped off by the world-- allies aren't doing enough, trade is bad furst, we're spending too much in the fine, it's what got himt got elected. it doesn't mean it's necessarily going to work out. it doesn't mean it's necessarily constructive. >> rose: we're seeing this week he's doing the things he said he would do. >> absolutely. there is a hi

there are not many jim bakers.ou have the sense that all the planets are spinning into space without a sun to hold them into orbit. >> who is the most jim baker-like figure in the senior level of the white house? gary cohn. no government experience. his title was ceo at goldman sachs. well respected. tough manager on wall street. impressed trump very much with the business-like get to the bottom of it attitude. a couple pieces in the newspaper this weekend. gary cohen is the adult in the white house. >> white house policy adviser stephen miller repeated president trump's evidence-free claims of voter fraud in new hampshire saying people from massachusetts were bused in by the thousands. tom wrath, a former republican attorney general of new hampshire said today it never happened. listen to fergus cullen, a former state republican chairman of new hampshire. >> the idea that people are coming to new hampshire to commit fraud on a massive scale like this is just preposterous. it needs to be called out as untrue. >> ye

look, jim baker and bush 41 had such a tight relationship. that was almost unique, really, in the annals. george schultz and ronald reagan had a pretty close relationship except for the disputes that were coming in from the pentagon those days and the disputes over the u.s. and soviet relationship. but connede rice and 43 obviously a very tight relationship when she was secretary of state. less so 43 and colin powell. so there is always a bit of, you know, space between the secretary of state in recent years and the white house. the national security advisors have been reigning supreme. that said, secretary tillerson's deputy was vetoed, elliott abrams vetoed by the president after his staff at the white house told him that abrahams had written a critical colume in the weekly standard in may during the primary, not even during the general election. that is unprecedented. the fact that he cannot choose his deputy, choose his undersecretary, that there are minders in every cabinet agency from the white house. and so sean spicer was defending th

and it's instructive to me that two of the grandees of the republican party, jim baker and georgia schultzy have published an article arguing for a carbon tax, saying that there is mounting scientific evidence of the problems with the atmosphere, they are too compelling now to ignore. are you swayed by the fact that, you know, so many conservative political fears are now saying this? no, in fact, the house of representatives held a test vote on a carbon tax last year and every single republican, including those who agree with your statement that climate change is a growing problem, voted against a carbon tax. every single republican. so i think that the republican party is united, and we have some people who have perhaps served their country well many decades ago but they really... they are out of the debate, they are not a significant part of the conservative movement today. right, well, let's look at what donald trump as president, surrounded by people from the conservative movement, to 5000, that a huge amount of their grant’giv'mg’attivity donald trump will supervise and look after? th

that everyone respects, doesn't have to be jim baker but someone like that. >> tom: who do you thinkhould bring in? >> i think he should bring in john kasich. stu and he hates guy. >> he's starting to lose the republican party. >> tom: who was the guy that just jumped out. >> it was an olympian -- >> tom: he went down today, he's the only guy who lost. >> that's not his biggest problem. his big problem is that national security thing, he needs to bring in a stabilizing force of his government or he's going to face a challenge from his own party. >> tom: malice, about the movie, what do you think? should we dramatize the election? >> let's go back to a moment during the election, you want to watch it in a drama, it's not going to be realistic. the second debate, do you trust donald drunk donald trump with the nuclear button? this is awful. you're watching this, it's all non sequiturs, how do you have a realistic drama where the president all cabinet is talking about the size of his junk during the debate. you can't have a narrative where that hero is erratic and random and you don't k

jim baker was the guy making sure trains ran on time and communications were there, and mike was the guy to arrange a rollout like tonight. it's not that easy. that's why i'm not here at all to blame anybody else specifically because this white house is still evolves. now, you know, you wish that it wouldn't have happened that way because it's cost the president. >> yeah. >> again, as a governor i know this and say to the staff all the time, and when i worked for folks, your job is to make sure that nothing bad happens to the principal. that's the main job of staff. that's why, you know, my view was, this is not throwing anybody under the bus. it's just the truth. when something goes wrong, it's not the president's fault. it is the fault of the people who are in charge of making sure that his policy was accurately communicated, properly vetted, and expertly rolled out. that was done today on the supreme court. it was not done on the travel situation. >> governor, thank you for coming by tonight. >> happy to be here. >> appreciate the conversation. another break for us. when we come b

jim baker as his chief of staff, a really skilled, shrewd political insider, ed meese, a counselor to, and michael deaver in charge of the media operations. this troika ran the white house. >> the assassination attempt and aftermath elevated ronald reagan's popularity to a new high. the latest nbc news/associated press poll shows his job rating jumped ten points. >> reagan understood that he was getting this sort of sympathy reaction. everybody was rooting for him all of a sudden because they didn't want him to die. they didn't want to lose a president. so without missing a step, he goes right into what the message is. we've got to get this tax and spending bill passed and we've got to do it now. >> mr. speaker, the president of the united states. >> it was just like the movies. reagan was a true american hero. >> the president looking very jovial, very healthy. >> i was seated in the well of the house there when he was addressing congress. it was magic. everybody was so grateful that his life had been spared. it was a stirring moment. >> if he wants them to stop, they're not going to

and then jim baker helped us. and finally it all turned around. looks like we're going. it was weird. >> it's about time. >> it was a weird fight. >> i raise that only because i was glad to read the eisenhower monument is on track to be done. i'm glad they get the right person to do it. but it also underscores to me it your business specially, people don't really appreciate how many changes, how many rewrites, that is a hollywood script. >> same thing. >> but it takes a while to get prot jekts rig the projects right. where do you find the patience? >> well, on the cost control and all that, we figured out a way to do that. our buildings come in right on budget or close. which snld known. i mean when somebody looks at my building, they assume it's billions of dollars. >> it's more expensive. >> disney hall were $207 million. that is the budgets. there is a lot of costs. they add to the problems that they went through and end up costing money. had nothing to do with me. but i think it's important to be real, maintain a reality when build a building. people's clients have a

jim baker deputy secretary of commerce. know we all had, people they have been around the game, mixed with some californians, this is say pretty new crew in sent of white house government. tom: what do us make of reports that there are different powered groups in the white house trying to get the ear of the president, he is getting mixed messages? >> i don't disagree. i think he likes this style, he has always run a flat organization, where he gives access to a bunch of people, they have been there, less than 4 weeks. and at the inof the day everyone in white house is a type-a personality, rules are not declined clearly there are no walls. if you are a political director, i could go anywhere i wanted to, steve banning can go where he's to, and kellyanne can go where she''s to, sooner or later he will have to figure out what works best for him. tom: is it lord of the flies, there will be someone that emerges as the number one guy who has -- >> there is one number one guy right now, that is him. and he will basically decide w

i will tell you something, the broadcasters, jim bakers, john viewers -- million nine channels everyday preaching for donald trump. you ought to see it. they won the election, christians. what are you going to do now? thank you very much. guest: thank you. host: that was a call from wisconsin. tommy thompson, former republican governor. guest: they do not make republican governors like that anymore, i think. small -- actually, i think there is a bench out the re. first, yes, hillary clinton won the popular vote by nearly 3 million. i would certainly like to see the electoral college disappeared because of that. threee truth is she won states, california, new york, and massachusetts by nearly 7 than oneotes, by more million more than obama did in 2012. she underperformed obama in the other states by 3 million votes and lost those 47 states by 4 million votes. ,o where you live matters a lot and if we continue to do better in places where we are already winning, it does not really have that much of an impact. we have got to broaden that map and expand to other places. he also said african

al: he does not want to go back to the j -- to the days of jim baker.is kind of handy for him to have a villain as far as domestic politics. thomas: he loves having obama because he could go to the cabinet and say to the people in his right eye would have expanded settlements but obama broke my arm. love to be with you. he's not going to have that. this comes out at a very important time. lawel just passed a legalizing wildcat settlements established in the west bank by settlers independently. it.state has now legalized the supreme court may strike it down or may not. we are getting very close to the end of the two state solution. as long as there was a two state solution on the table, the debate within the jewish community was left right. a two statefrom solution to a one state solution, the debate is no longer left right, it is right or wrong. when that happens, you will see the jewish community in america, every jewish committee center, they are all going to fracture over this. al: that is something that over the long run is really dangerous because

would have said to him would be, the key thing for you is you have to be this close -- this is what jim baker does when he describes it. that have any sense tillerson has attempted to forge this relationship with the president? is the president reluctant?is it just chaos ? andrea: i would vote for chaos, just based on my reporting. had such and bush 41 tight relationship. that was almost unique, really, in the annals. george schultz and ronald reagan had a pretty close relationship, except for the suits that were coming in from the pentagon in those days and the u.s. and soviet relationship. condi rice and 43, obviously a very tight relationship. less so 43 and colin powell. there's always a bit of space between the secretary of state in recent years and the white house. national security advisers have been reigning supreme. secretary tillerson's deputy was vetoed by the president after his staff at the white house told him that abrams had written a critical column during the primary. that is unprecedented. the fact that he cannot choose his deputy, choose his there aretary, that minders in e

. >> stephen, i think it was jim baker who had comments recently saying "the art of the deal" is actuallyerstanding the political constraints on the person across the table from you. you're not suggesting that china's reliance on trade and our reliance on trade is the same. clearly, it's -- they need it more than we do. >> well, i think, look, we both need trade, carl. and the point about china is that they've relied a lot on export-led growth to the united states to drive economic development for 35 years. but you know, that was the old china. china's now trying to transition away from that to more of a domestic consumer story. and by the way, that's a big plus for us, because if we can export into china's consumer-led markets, we benefit from that as well, and we kind of think of china in a different way than we have historically. >> a lot of dire warnings from economists and former policymakers like you guys, warnings of war from jack ma. you don't really see it in the market yet in terms of that fear. we'll continue to debate it for now. thank you, stephen roach and bob hormats. jon?

it is interesting to me that when jim baker, who was president bush's campaign manager, was hired to be president reagan's chief of staff, the first thing he different was reach out to high profile reaganites and hire them for the white house staff, and therefore he didn't brook the kind of criticism that you have now of mr. priebus. >> host: you have forked for other presidents including richmond nixon, we talk about the two -- you said shay spoke -- cow you said they spoke. can you talk about the -- any similarities of differences? >> guest: i think there's enormous similarities between both president trump and president nixon and president trump and president reagan. in case of nixon, both men are brilliant. both men are stubborn when they focus on a goal, you can't get them off of it. both of them are pragmatic. trump is not an idealogy, a populist live i conservative instincts and interested in solutions. like roosevelt. if he tries something and it doesn't work he will try something epps until he solves the problem therapy. bowl pragmatists and realizes. orbit, trump is very mu

reaches of the white house remind me of the first white house i covered, ronald regan where you had jim bakerthe brilliant kind of mainstream politician, you had ed meis, and you can put rooens priebus, stephen bannon and jared kushner into the same roles today. the difference is i think baker was a supreme political operator, probably the greatest of our lifetime. reince priebus is having trouble holding these different power centers in line and keeping them moving in the same direction. >> i don't think any of them would like being compared to bannon at this point. let me ask you something, ron, what do you think the reason is that the administration isn't doing more to highlight what it's been doing with business. this guy is meeting -- the president is meeting with the prime minister of canada to talk about women and wages. he's met with more business leaders, from small business, medium-sized business, specific industries than we've seen any president do in this kind of period. it is never at the top of what they want to talk about. why? >> it's an area of frustration i think for republi

al: he does not want to go back to the days of jim baker.is kind of handy for him to have a villain as far as domestic politics. thomas: he loves having obama could go to the cabinet and people on the right and say, i would have done what you would of done, i would've expanded settlements but obama broke my arm. i love to be with you. he's not going to have that. this comes out at a very important time. i wrote my column about this for tomorrow, actually. my column about this for tomorrow, actually. israel just passed a law legalizing wildcat settlements that were established in the west bank by settlers independently. squatted on palestinian, privately owned land, and the state has now legalized it. the israeli supreme court may strike it now -- down or may not. we are getting very close to the and of the two i can state solution. as long as there was a two-state solution on the table, the debate within the jewish community was left right. when you go from eight to-state solution to a one-state solution the debate is no longer left , right,

this is not a situation where you have a jim baker, you know, type chief of staff or leon panetta typechief of staff who i think really ran the trains on time. that appears to be, you know, what mr. trump wants. i am not being critical of anybody there. but it does create, you know, so of the sense that there is a three-ring circus sometimes at the end of 1600 pennsylvania avenue. if you look in terms of policy, in terms of wins, he has won a lot more than he has lost. he is getting the policy that he wants through. again, i think he is dominating the stage. and so that's what he wants to do. >> speaking of policy, another big story this week, the obamacare replacement plan from the white house. president trump now saying it will be shared next month. what do you know about the bill? are there questions you need answered before you decide whether to support it? >> well, look, i would certainly always support the repeal of obamacare. in my state we are down to a single provider, the rates are going up 69%. we don't have a choice. in oklahoma, at least, it's a failed system. i am anxious

we could go back to jim baker's time who was very much a state department driven policy because of the relationship of bush and bak baker. we could look at another model of the george w. bush period, two republican periods, where it was driven more out of the white house when condi rice was national security advisor and elliot abrams was the senior official there. so i'm just -- i'm a little concerned about overgeneralizing and too much extrapolation. the only thing i think i feel certain about is the uncertainty to say that until they put their people in place, until we know more about the interaction between the nsc and the president and the secretary -- the nsc and nea, it's a little soon but there's no doubt a tone from the president is a sine qua n non. that it's indispensable and it matters who sits in that chair. there are a lot of judgment calls that they get the thumbs up or thumbs down even if they don't do the nitty-gritty work so i don't underestimate the role of who have is in the oef office but how it shakes out in terms of israel policy and palestinian policy i still thi

can go back to jim baker's time, it was very much a state department-driven policy because of the relationship of bush and baker. we can look at another model of george w. bush period, i am thinking to the republican period, where it was driven more out of the white house with condoleezza rice as national security advisor. i am a little concerned about overgeneralizing and too much extrapolation. the only thing i feel certain about is the uncertainty to say until they put their people in play, until we know more about the interaction between the president and the secretary, the nsc and nea, it is a little soon. but there is a tone from the that is indispensable. it matters a lot who sits in that chair. there are a lot of judgment calls that they get the thumbs-up or thumbs down, even if they don't do all the nitty-gritty work. i don't understand -- underestimate the role of who is --the oval office arid office. with israeli out and palestinian policy -- i just want to be a little cautious in extrapolating. >> thank you. up front. first, a short comment -- you had mentioned about president trum

rex tillerson, never met him but he hayrides him after the checks him out with don condi rice and jim bakerand people say, yeah, and by the way, the undersecretary of energy for obama thinks riecks tillerson is a terrific guy. and so trump, the businessman, say go to run the state department. you're in the guy. and he liked the central casting expect as well. so -- aspect as well. he is standing thin a team and i see a series of appointments like scott pruitt at al owe pa and these are great appointments. that will bridge the epa back to regulatory appropriate place, to them from destroying growth in america, stop the extra legal grabs of power that mccarthy and before her -- i can't -- lisa -- the administering dr. were out of control and blew off congress, a rogue agency. he will shut that down. andy will be an evangelist for -- andy -- i heard him gimp a speech and i had him on thade -- we invited the franchise. a new involve i called the founder about ray kroc. the franchise, andy explained, the greatest engine of take people of little means and turned turn them into a wealthy fern. whe

it would have to be a very strong relationship with the secretary of state, condi rice, jim baker come to mind, henry kissinger who played both roles where you have that strong relationship between the president and the secretary of state, other wiles the national security adviser can be much more powerful. >> the nsa can be very powerful but in this case what i hope will happen is that mcmaster will take a page from previous national security advisers and start building strong relationships with the secretary of defense, with the secretary of state. when sue ran rice was national security adviser, condi rice was national security adviser she'd have a breakfast once or twice a week to build a strong and functional relationship. i think that's important and hope that's something that he will do. >> rick stengel you were in charge of public diplomacy. how important is it for the tradition that goes back to john foster dulles in 1953 of having daily briefings at the state department, how important is that to tell the rest of the world what u.s. policy is? because we haven't had one yet. >

it is interesting to me that when jim baker, who was george bush as campaign manager, was hired to be president reagan's chief of staff, the first thing he did was reach out to high-profile reaganites and higher than for the white house staff and, therefore, he didn't brooked the kind of criticism yet now of reince priebus. >> host: you'v you worked for or presidents including richard nixon. could you talk about that you and if there's any come you said they spoke at one point while he was living or can you talk to any comparisons between the two and how they operate? it's pretty early days but are there any some others are differences you can talk about traffic that are enormous similarities between both president trump's and president nixon, and president trump and present reagan, they are different. in the case of nixon, both men are brilliant. both men are stubborn when they focus on a goal you can't get them off of it. both of them are pragmatic. trump is not an ideologue. he's a conservative populist or a populist with conservative instincts. but above all he's interested in wha

never met him but he hires him after he checks it out with condi rice and jim baker and all these people say yeah. and by the way, the undecided of energy under obama thinks rex tillerson is a good guy. all these people, so trump the businessman says i've got to run the state department you are the guy. and so that tells he is standing up vat. if i see a series of appointments like scott pruitt at epa. i know scott pruitt pretty well, and andy puzder i know pretty well. they are friends. these are great appointments. scott pruitt will bring the epa back to its regulatory appropriate place it will stop them from destroying growth in america. stop them for the extra leaves of grass of the power mccarthy, and lisa, i can remember her last name, out of control. they blew off congress and it is a rogue agency. rogue agency. he will shut that down. andy puzder will be the bill bennett this administration. he will be an evangelist for franchise. our goal aside, i heard him give a speech want and had them on the racial argue about how we invaded the franchise. there's a new movie called the foun

jim baker, secretary of the treasury under president reagan; hank paulson, secretary of the treasury under president bush; and george shultz, secretary of the treasury under president nixon. these men have some pretty impressive credentia credential. not only was he secretary of the treasury, but james baker was also the secretary of state. and not only was george shultz secretary of treasury and secretary of state, he was also secretary of labor. these three former treasury secretaries have led a group of other unvestors -- investors, including the former chairmen of the board of wal-mart, the world's largest retailer and employer; and tom stevenson, a republican who is a partner at sequoia capital, a very successful venture capital firm out in silicon valley; and greg mankiw, who was george w. bush's council of economic advisors chairman. so this is a very republican group, and they have a lot of experience, and none of them hold elective office now, so they don't have to worry about the fossil fuel industry trying to crush them in a primary or spend millions of dollars in front gr

we could go back to the time of jim baker and say that it was a very much state department driven policy because of that relationship. we could look at another model, eriod, where. bush p it was driven more out of the white house when elliott abrams was the senior official there. i'm a little concerned about overgeneralizing with too much extrapolation. the only thing i feel certain about is the uncertainty. to say that until they put their people in place, until we know ,ore about the interactions it's a little soon. indispensable and it matters a lot who sits in that chair. even if they don't do the nitty-gritty work. the rolenderestimate of who's in the oval office, but how it shakes out in terms of policy, i still think -- i want to be a little cautious in extrapolating. >> ok, thank you. please? up in front? >> thank you. i am retired from the foreign service. you had mentioned about president trump saying that he .anted to destroy isis he put emphasis on that word. don't forget that he also said he wanted to destroy the johnson amendment. just use a vocabulary, not sure how importa

maybe gary cohn will be the next jim baker, i don't know.ll you none of this matters. within six months you will know. >> if you look back at prior periods during this market phase we were fixated on things like the chinese currency, on the price of crude oil, on european debt spreads. we were focused on these individual things that seemed to matter above everything else for a short period of time. that's where we are with the tax reform. the headline risk is there. i don't think it's the explanation. >> it gets to this 3%. i saw steve mnuchin walking back 3. now it's 3% the end of 2018. in trump's debates, we should have gone from 4 1/2%. >> you can't get the corporate profits without gdp growth and you can't get gdp growth without immigration. if you look at gdp our productivity numbers are looking okay. you need more people. the problem is we don't have enough people to be going into the work force. you're not going to hit the number. >> i think we saw him writing in the journal about the fertility rate is down to 0.4%. >> the one thing t
