please welcome peter baker. (cheers and applause) hey, peter, nice to have you on. mr. baker, sir, you are the chief white house correspondent for the "new york times". >> yeah. >> stephen: did you have to shift gears between the bush administration and the obama administration? because you guys were so tough on bush and so in love with obama. (laughter) >> right. that's not what president obama would say. they don't seem to think we're very easy on him. but, look, we cover all president it is same way. we try to be tough but fair and try to find out what's going on. >> let's find out how tough and fair you are because you have a new book called "days of fire: bush and cheney in the white house." okay, um, i'm going to draw -- a line right now, okay? i love this man. i love president bush. if i read your book-- and no promises-- if i read your book will i like him more or less? >> i think you'd like president bush. i think if you don't like him you'll see things in there that feed the argument. >> stephen: so it's a book trying to please everyone? >> trying to find a --

the judge says in her final summation, you are nothing, mr. baker, but a pebble in the pond. you are nothing but poor white trash. all my life, i was a bad boy. i look back and i see all the stupid mistakes that i made. and i see the young people that's here at this prison and i hear all the stories because i listen and i think to myself, you do not know how fortunate you are. you're going out there with another chance, whether it's five years, ten years or what. you're getting another chance. i'll never get that chance. i would give my leg, my arm, for that chance. i'm never going to get it. i'm going to die right here. >> it's fun to break the law and dance with the devil. but see, when you got to pay the fiddler, it ain't nothing nice. trust me, i'm living it. i'm living it. >> when it comes to serving hard time, white trash baker is hardly alone. >> me, myself, i got 35 to life. i'm here on a three strikes case. in the mid-'80s i had a burglary and attempted burglary. i did four years for it. those are strike one and strike two. in 1996, i caught a drug charge, a methamph

mr. zwillinger raises something that i hadn't really thought about it, but by all means i think that individual should have as complete access to everything that the court isvidu hearing as the justice department prosecutor has, that there should be no withholding,e no secret filing or whatever. hs i actually haven't thought about the constitutionality of being able to appeal. opportunityive the of further review by a judge panel of foreign intelligence and surveillance court review. ultimately perhaps to secure a supreme court review. cannot answer your question about that. i'm not sure that i should as a judge. in any event, i do not know. i have been thinking about this further ith think that both under some circumstances it should be necessary or the judge, let the judge has discretion in other words, this is what i called rule 11 notice is given. and i don't know whether it would cover, i think it would cover something the prison program and so forth. that was certainly my intent. bu

brian baker. brian, a lot to talk to you about. mr. mayor, let's ask you first of all, talking about education reform that you're taking on. >> it's four of us who are ma r mayors, the premise that we start with really is brain power is the new currency of success in the 21st century global economy. and secondly that cities are the places where we're still actually getting things done. so what we're doing is that we're highlighting the great work that's happening in these four cities to improve public education. >> how do we do that? we've been, obviously, we've been talking about this nonstop for six, seven years here. you have one mayor after another talking about education reform and we still aren't making the gains. we're spending more money per student than any country in the world on education, and yet we still don't seem to be making the advances we should be making. why not? >> think it begins with expecting more from everybody in the education eco system. so i'll give you and example. last year the voters of san antonio did so

the author, peter baker, who was the white house correspondent for "the washington post". mr. baker, how would you describe the relationship between president bush and vice president cheney in the year 2000? >> well, in 2000 it was close. that's when, obviously, bush picked cheney to be on the ticket. he's looking for somebody who's going to help reassure the public and also somebody he can lean on when he takes office. he knows he needs somebody with national security background and more washington seasoning than he has. so in the beginning, it's a very close relationship. >> host: how did it develop? >> guest: it evolved over time. we have the cartoonish understanding of bush and cheney where cheney's the puppetmaster. that was always too simplistic. no question he was very infliewn encial in the early days, but bush begins to take a different tack on issues of national security, foreign policy. and cheney's, you know, left feeling disappointed by the new approach and resisting some of it where he can, but also losing fights that he once won in the first term. >> host: and s
