mike baker, always a pleasure. continued good health. mike baker. you. >> thank you. >> neil: this whole indictment of the 12 russian officials and to mike's point, i don't think they'll come here any time soon, one thing it has protected is robert mueller. there's no way in heck anyone will lecture on this investigation or shutting it down or questioning it because to do so means that you're letting the russians get away with something. the read on that after this. the day after chemo shouldn't mean going back to the doctor just for a shot. with neulasta onpro patients get their day back to be with family, or just to sleep in. strong chemo can put you at risk of serious infection. in a key study neulasta reduced the risk of infection from 17% to 1%, a 94% decrease. neulasta onpro is designed to deliver neulasta the day after chemo and is used by most patients today. neulasta is for certain cancer patients receiving strong chemotherapy. do not take neulasta if you're allergic to it or neupogen (filgrastim). an incomplete dose could increase infectio

mike baker is here to talk about the art of the deal. plus hugging putin. that's next. hi, mike. metastatic breast cancer is relentless, but i'm relentless too. mbc doesn't take a day off, and neither will i. and i treat my mbc with new everyday verzenio- the only one of its kind that can be taken every day. in fact, verzenio is a cdk4 & 6 inhibitor for postmenopausal women with hr+, her2- mbc, approved, with hormonal therapy, as an everyday treatment for a relentless disease. verzenio + an ai is proven to help women have significantly more time without disease progression, and more than half of women saw their tumors shrink vs an ai. diarrhea is common, may be severe, and may cause dehydration or infection. before taking verzenio, tell your doctor if you have fever, chills, or other signs of infection. verzenio may cause low white blood cell counts, which may cause serious infection that can lead to death. serious liver problems can occur. symptoms may include tiredness, loss of appetite, stomach pain, and bleeding or bruising more easily than normal. blood clots that can lead t

mike baker, would you agree?> yeah, i wouldn't trust putin or the fsb or foreign intelligence service as far as i could throw them out a window frankly, and soviets in years past, one time had a famous operation, they gave a gift to our ambassador down in mexico who hung it in his office and it was bugged, it was designed to pick up transmissions. they have been doing this for years is my point. >> are you saying it could have been bugged? >> well no, i'm saying, well, we have learned our lesson. i have tremendous confidence in my whole outfit and other members of the intel committee, we know better. that soccer ball is not sitting anywhere privy to sensitive conversation, i can guarantee you that. >> there you go. take dan coats' word for that. thank you so much. >>> minutes from now, the president is leaving the white house to head to his new jersey golf club for the weekend. we'll be watching to see if he stops and speaks with reporters about all of the above we have been discussing the last hour and a half. >

that's not appropriate. >> mike baker, nice to have you. thank you so much. let's discuss the politics of all of this. patrick healey, our cnn political analyst is here. also joining me, caitlin huey-burns with real clear politics. let's go through and unpack where sarah sanders said yesterday. this was prompted by a question that a reporter asked about a series of tweets by republican congressman, rand paul, who's been in a big way in the president's corner on this one. here's part of what sarah sanders said. >> the president is exploring the mechanisms to remove security clearance, because they've politicized and in some cases monetized their public service and security clearances. >> monetized? ironic, coming from this white house? >> right. it's a pretty strange claim, poppy, the reality is is that, you know, former administration officials have held security clearances because they're seen as of value to the government. so the idea that american officials are sort of going out and doing deal making and making money solely on their security clearances is

rob: joining me with reaction is cia operative mike baker.o rand paul he makes a pretty good point that sounds logical but when you look at this list of the six people the president wants to maybe take away that clearance from, you see a lot of his worst enemies. that makes people think this is political. >> it certainly appears that way. he is in uncharted territory here. on both sides. we have never seen this public animosity and criticism from former heads of the intel community, john brennan, tremendous experience. the fact that he is out there and so vocal is unusual, extremely unusual. now that you have got director comey and mccabe who don't have security clearances anymore so this appears to have been fired off without a lot of thought so it does appear vindictive on his part. rob: he has 4 million people with security clearances into million with top-secret clearances. and the cottage industry, and retain clearances and use that as a hiring element at an attractive point for commercial companies, they don't have to front the cost and

[cheers and applause] and he jumps rope with a telephone line, former wwe superstar and my massive sidekick, tyrus. [cheers and applause] all right. mike, good to see you. is there any hope for the united states to actually become united? >> no. by the way, i like this is the international symbol for jumping rope, right, tyrus? i liked that, that was good. greg: answer the question, mike. >> i wasn't even listening to the question. i think you've got an absolutely perfect point here. there's -- nobody lives in the center anymore. nobody is living in the middle ground. it's like trend are. warfare. both sides are over here on opposite sides throwing hand grenades at each other, and we've lost the ability to have a civil discourse really j

we'll see if the president gets a mulligan on the iran deal, mike baker thank you. >> thank you. kennedy: coming up. one thing matters to voters, not russia. not stormy daniels. it is the economy, stupid. new polls out. good news for the president and republicans running in the midterms, stay here. it's easy to think that all money managers are pretty much the same. but while some push high commission investment products, fisher investments avoids them. some advisers have hidden and layered fees. fisher investments never does. and while some advisers are happy to earn commissions from you whether you do well or not, fisher investments fees are structured so we do better when you do better. maybe that's why most of our clients come from other money managers. fisher investments. clearly better money management. that's the same things i want to do with you. it's an emotional thing to watch your child grow up and especially get behind the wheel. i want to keep you know, stacking up the memories and the miles and the years. he's gonna get mine -but i'm gonna get a new one. -oh yeah wh

joining us now with reaction, mike baker. your reaction. brennan and his pals on the other networks are saying trump has created an enemies list. >> first of all, you packed a lot of information into that angle. what day is it? tuesday. we started with russia. we went to iran. then we went to clearances. then we went to tapes. the speed is incredible. with this, you pointed out several important issues. people are stunned and amazed that john brennan and others would have these clearances. they don't understand the world of clearances. retaining her clearance once you leave the government is your currency in washington. it's a cottage industry. i'm not going to make a lot of friends by talking about this but it's a cottage industry. keeping your clearance and moving to the commercial sector. clearances are kept by senior officials typically up until now and in the past as a courtesy. the idea being you can talk to the people who take your position and provide -- what the left, with the resistance are talking about, they are suddenly the pro

first of all that i've known mike mcfaul since -- for nearly two decades since the very beginning when the "washington post" decided to send me and my husband, peter baker, to moscow, and it was mike mcfaul, a stanford professor at the time, who was a very generous tutor in all things russia and has continued to be someone i've talked with and learned from even during his sort of unlikely tour as a high-level political adviser to barack obama on russia. so i happened to reach mike by telephone minutes after that statement was released by the white house. he hadn't heard it yet so i read it out loud to him. he was driving in the car to the airport. i said, well, you know, what do you think about this? and, you know, he was sort of silent for a second. he said, that's not really much of a defense of us, is it? i mean, you know, there's a lot of other things. i said, well, listen, my article's going to talk about the fact that even people inside the u.s. government don't seem to know what was agreed upon in helsinki on monday, and he made the point that i think is an important point, which is, look, this conversation about him, about ambassador mcfaul and

. >> peter baker, this was rather striking, the twitter feed of secretary of state mike pompeo. now, in washington, there is an industry centered around the words what the president meant to say. this was a classic, i'll read it. theta is the most successful appliance in history. weakness provokes strength and cohesion protects, this remains our bedrock belief. peter, that's the kind of thing we used to hear from u.s. presidents. >> yeah, i know, exactly right. it's not that these issues aren't there, they're not perceived trump's tenure and office. what's different the way he approaches it. he treat these allies as if they were enemies and adversaries and that's what's really striking about it. it's not that we don't have concerns about this. there are concerns about this pipeline. it's not that we don't have concerns about this military spending. we do historically bipartisan, that's not new but pompeo is doing what others as you say other administrations did and acknowledge the issues and pressed in a gentle, you know, and friendly way to make the point but without casting th
