For a quarter-century, from the end of Watergate to the aftermath of the Cold War, no Republican won the presidency without his help or governed without the advice of James A. Baker III. Both a statesman and political operative, Baker served as White House Chief of Staff, Treasury Secretary, and Secretary of State, becoming one of the most influential political figures of the last century. Journalism power-couple Peter Baker and Susan Glasser join Ed & Perry to discuss Baker's life and historic career. Peter Baker and Susan Glasser are the authors of The Man Who Ran Washington: The Life and Times of James A Baker III. Peter Baker is the Chief White House Correspondent for The New York Times and a regular panelist on Washington Week on PBS. He is the author of the New York Times bestseller The Breach, about Bill Clinton's impeachment, and, with his wife, Susan Glasser, of Kremlin Rising, about Vladimir Putin's Russia. Susan Glasser is a staff writer for The New Yorker and author of its weekly "Letter from Trump's Washington" as well as a CNN global affairs analyst.
