in just a few minutes, we're going to be joined by jim baker. jim baker was the general counsel at the fbi, meaning he was the top lawyer at the fbi. he left that position earlier this year in may. he's one of the handful of former senior fbi officials who was personally briefed by fbi director james comey about comey's troubling interactions with president trump concerning the russia investigation before trump ultimately fired james comey. this interview tonight is going to be the first time that i have ever spoken with jim baker. it's likely to be the first time you have ever seen him speak full stop. very much looking forward to having him here. i'll tell you specifically what we're going to be talking with him about in just a second. but as i mentioned, there have been a lot of heavy news stories that have broken today. in the afternoon the white house put out a stung and honestly, sort of strange statement about saudi arabia and the murder of a virginia resident and "washington post" journalist named jamal khashoggi. a couple of days ago "t

there would have been no reagan revolution without jim baker. we, i'm not suggesting that hired jim baker as donald trump's chief of staff, but i do think that trump needs somebody like him with enough gravitas to tell him what he thinks. host: let's go to mike in missouri, independent. caller: yes, mr. whipple. it's amazing, as politically astute as you come up to be, that you have not been snapped up by one of the president's chiefs. what amazes me is that somebody in that position -- caller: pardon me? host: go ahead. guest: go ahead. caller: yeah. uh, it's easy to sit on the outside and criticize and criticize and criticize. i talked and he told me this. i configure and tell you i'm a four-star general of the united states marine corps and you don't know that for a fact. you have not been in that position of authority, you don't really know what goes on. you are taking your information on what people tell you. i think you do a little digging, i did it, it's hard to prove a lot of things that you say. i don't agree with you, but i appreciate

and there was a reason why i could consult with brent scowcroft or jim baker about a particular issue comfortably. it wasn't a strain. there were values around certain issues. over the course of the post-world war ii era it was hugely beneficial to the world. it didn't mean we didn't screw up or make mistakes when we were not hypocritical by politicians so the world have all kinds of opportunities to say the united states doesn't believe what it preaches. it's supporting folks that are not democrats they are doing things for me and all those things. at the end of this period let's call it 60 or 70 years, the world was wealthier, less violent, healthier, more tolerant and the average person their life as were improved across the board. the chinese essentially were free writers of the system we built and lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty. it's justifiable to say stop writing for free. you've got to carry your weight now that your status has changed. but we did something very valuable. here is what is also true for any political system and consensus over time the

there was a reason why i could consult with a jim baker about a particular issue comfortably. it wasn't a strain. it was because we had a common baseline of assumptions and values around certain issues. i think what is also true is that that consensus was hugely beneficial to the united states, and that over the course of the post-world war ii era, it was hugely beneficial to the world. it didn't mean we did not screw up or make mistakes, were not hypocritical or self-interested. they were a nationstate governed by politicians, and so the world had all kinds of opportunities and various junctures to say, oh, the united states is supporting folks who are not democrats, they are doing things for convenience, all those things. but at the end of this period, let's call it 60, 70 years, the world was wealthier, less violent, healthier, more tolerant, more democratic. the average person's life chances were improved across the board. and yet, billions of people -- look, the chinese, essentially, were free riders on the system we built and lifted hundreds of millions of people out of

jim baker, you served in the fbi at the highest levels. when you look at the relations between the fbi and the white house, what do you see is the greatest threat? >> well, thank you for having this panel. thanks to everyone who spent time setting up. i appreciate the opportunity here. so, two things, i guess. i guess the greatest threat to the rule of law, it seems to me, is a lack of sustained support for the institutions of justice, we'll call it. the lack of support of those institutions over time by the american people. if the american people don't support and trust those institutions, then the system will not work. that's the bottom line. if i could back up a bit and maybe help explain a little bit how i'm thinking about this. obviously in preparation for this panel and throughout the course of my career and working with ken and david for many years, trying to think about what are we talking about when we talk about the rule of law. what does that mean? it's pretty tough to boil it down, i think, but i guess the way i would think abo

i think of people in the past like jim baker, who was a rival before he came in to be chief of staff to a different person, and that is what you are supposed to do. you put your personal differences aside, and the privilege of working in the administration means use it for the president and his agenda. you can have differences of opinion and you should air those differences but when he makes a decision, you don't use your position to subvert the decision that has been made. >> martha: who is still in the white house that fits this category that you think is subversive? >> martha, the one perfect example is the author of anonymous. we don't know who that person as yet, and -- >> martha: who do you think it is? >> i don't know. i think it would be easy to figure out who it's not then who it is because there are so many people that it could simply be. but my point is, there are people there who, like the author, feel like it's their job to save the country from the president, as that person set in the letter. it is outrageous. that person is a coward, should stand up and be counted and

former secretary of state jim baker capture this best of all in the piece that he wrote in the washington post where he talked about precisely what you just raised. this is a huge collision between our values and belief in human rights and so forth, and this is a brutal murder, a crime and a colossal mistake that obviously has trampled those values. but on the other hand, you have decades of interest dating back to the meeting of the king and president roosevelt, and we have been through all kind of crisis during this time. we have had the oil embargo of 1973 and we have had the iran and iraq war and the ramifications it had. we had the invasion of q8 -- iraq in 2003, and there has been lots of points of serious friction in this relationship. but at the end of the day again, interest tend to prevail and right now, until this incident, the principal interest in the entire region seem to be converging around opelousas and -- opposition to activities by iran. that is doing something that no other dynamic could do, which was not only to bring the countries of the gulf together, but actually t

the jim bakers of the world, franklin roosevelts of the world, ronald reagans of the world, who have had to deal with these kinds of situations and yet, at the same time, build alliances, build relationships but not sell out on who we are as a country. we can do that, and honestly president trump has to recognize that what he's doing in this situation is sending a message of weakness to the world, that somehow the united states, my goodness, we're selling all of these arms. we have all of these other problems we have to deal with, so we're just going to sell out on who we are as a people. that's wrong, and it's sending the wrong message to the world, and it's weakening our position in the world. >> well, on that message to the world that you're saying, obviously it's sending messages both to adversaries and allies. so there was a recent meeting called the halifax forum in canada. lots and lots of allies go there. it's a yearly meeting. apparently no administration officials came although a handful of congresspeople came, but not very high-profile. they were desperately trying to assu

ousted jim baker, the general counsel there. so this is a wholesale hollowing out of the leadership of the doj from a president who said on the record that his problem with the doj is that they are investigating him. so we are not at the constitutional crisis point because we have to wait and see what mr. whitaker does in his post but we are right up against it. when i spoke to jerry nadler who would be the ranking member on judiciary, he said, last night he told me any move to handicap, to kneecap, to sabotage the mueller probe for him would put all options on the table in the house judiciary committee. >> in the context of the president who gave a press conference about the republicans who lost in the house because they were not -- the implication is they were not loyal to him. in the conversation with jim comey it was alleged that he had a discussion about loyalty. his discussion about jeff sessions has always been that he shouldn't have recused himself. it wasn't about the legality of whether jeff sessions may have had some
