Podcast appearances and mentions of Peter Baker

When former President Donald Trump was in office, a number of his aides said they wanted to quit out of concern for the country's political and military future. Some did quit, some didn't. Political reporters Susan Glasser and Peter Baker conducted 300 interviews for their new book The Divider – two of those with the former President himself. They spoke to Ayesha Rascoe about Trump's White House tenure – and what it means for the American presidency at large.

Peter Baker preaches from Proverbs 4:13-27 on Sunday 25th of September. Peter Baker is the pastor of Landsdowne Church in Bournemouth and was speaking at the Wales Leadership forum this weekend.

Susan Glasser and Peter Baker are veteran political journalists who closely covered Donald Trump's rise years in the oval office. He as the New York Times chief White House correspondent, she as a staff writer for The New Yorker. Yet, the husband-and-wife team felt there was more to know – more the American public should know about what went on behind the scenes. The result is their new book, “The Divider.” They say it is an attempt to create a comprehensive historical record of the era – and in doing so highlight lessons for America's political future.

Susan Glasser, staff writer for The New Yorker and CNN global affairs analyst and Peter Baker, chief White House correspondent for The New York Times and political analyst for MSNBC talk about their new book, The Divider: Trump in the White House, 2017-2021 (Doubleday, 2022), a detailed account of the four years of the Trump presidency. Plus, they offer analysis of current national news. →EVENT: Susan Glasser and Peter Baker will be speaking to historian Douglas Brinkley about The Divider next Wednesday, September 28 at 6:30 at the New York Historical Society. In-person tickets are sold out, but livestreaming tickets are still available.

Now that he's no longer in office, there have been a lot of stories coming out about Trump's presidency. A new book offers a detailed account – more than 650 pages – of the four years of the Trump's administration, and it's written by two of the most respected journalists in Washington. On Today's Show: Peter Baker, the chief White House correspondent for The New York Times and a political analyst for MSNBC, and Susan Glasser, a staff writer at The New Yorker and author of its weekly "Letter from Trump's Washington," as well as a CNN global affairs analyst, talk about their new book The Divider: Trump in the White House, 2017-2021 (Doubleday, 2022), as well as some of the latest developments in the former president's legal challenges.  

A new book by two veteran journalists takes a look behind the scenes of Donald Trump's presidency. Husband and wife reporting team Peter Baker of The New York Times and Susan Glasser of The New Yorker say that to understand what happened on January 6, it is necessary to understand what happened the day Trump took office and all the days in between.

Women in Iran are ripping off their hijabs and cutting their hair in the streets as an outpouring of anger takes place across the country. Demonstrators are mourning and protesting the death of Mahsa Amini, the 22-year-old woman who died after being arrested by Iran's morality police, who enforce the country's strict dress codes for women. The authorities say Mahsa Amini had a heart attack, but her family say that's a lie. Christiane had hoped to put all this to the Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi in an interview on Wednesday night. But at the last minute, he refused to sit for the interview unless Christiane wore a headscarf. It's an unprecedented request; Christiane has interviewed every Iranian president since 1995, including on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, and this had never before been an issue. So tonight, Christiane gets reaction to the protests from Senator Chris Murphy – who sits on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee – and an Iran expert.  Also on today's show: Holly Dagres, Senior Fellow, Atlantic Council; Kristalina Georgieva, Managing Director, International Monetary Fund; Susan Glasser & Peter Baker, coauthors of a new book on Donald Trump, The Divider.To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

New York Times chief White House correspondent and New Yorker staff writer Susan Glasser join Heilemann for a discussion of their new book The Divider: Trump in The White 2017-2021, which aims to be the first soup-to-nuts account of the 45th president's tenure in the Oval Office. Baker and Glasser — both long-time, much-admired Washington reporters, spouses, and co-authors of previous books on Vladimir Putin's Russia and the life of James A. Baker III — discuss their thesis that Trump is the sole POTUS in history who never saw national unity as a goal, and in fact sought to profit politically from dividing the country; how Trump's 2017 inaugural address, with its invocation of "American carnage," augured the darkness (and strangeness) that would follow; Trump's disregard and disdain for democratic and institutional norms, from his politicization of the Justice Department and efforts to co-opt the military to his attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election; how his foreign policy came closer than anyone knew to leading to armed (even nuclear) conflict and diplomatic chaos (including a U.S. exit from NATO) abroad; the transactional nature of Trump's relationship with his wife, Melania; and the mind-bending experience of interviewing Trump for the book and finding his mental stability as questionable as many of his top advisers did. They also assess the various investigations currently encircling Trump, along with the very real prospect that he could run for president in 2024 while under federal indictment ... and win. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

“Biden: Tentative railway labor deal reached, averting strike,” AP: “President Joe Biden said Thursday a tentative railway labor agreement has been reached, averting a potentially devastating strike before the pivotal midterm elections. He said the tentative deal ‘will keep our critical rail system working and avoid disruption of our economy.'” And NYT's Peter Baker and The New Yorker's Susan Glasser, two old friends of Playbook (Susan was POLITICO's editor from 2014-2016), will release "THE DIVIDER: Trump in the White House, 2017-2021," on Tuesday. But after The Guardian's resourceful Martin Pengelly snagged a copy early, the book's embargo was lifted last night, leading to a flurry of coverage. In the NYT, Baker himself writes up an incredible account from the book about the time Trump's friend, the cosmetics billionaire Ronald Lauder, convinced him that the U.S. could buy Greenland.

In this special episode, we're discussing General Milley's resignation letter to the President that he never sent, deciding instead to work against the Commander-in-Chief from the inside. Military members have a duty to be loyal to the service and the officers appointed over them. Military officers can be punished under the Uniformed Code of Military Justice for using contemptuous words against the President. And yet, if this new book is to be believed, that's exactly what General Milley did in his official capacity as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Why do we say this? The New Yorker recently published an alleged resignation letter from General Mark Milley that was never submitted to former President Trump. The article is an excerpt from a new book by authors Peter Baker and Susan Glasser, who are unsurprisingly senior reporters for The New York Times and the New Yorker. Lacking any imagination at all, the authors have titled the book, “The Divider: Trump in the White House.” According to the story, Milley wrote the scathing letter to Trump following federal officials clearing rioters out of Lafayette Square back in the summer of 2020. Remember, it was on June 1, 2020 in the wake of the George Floyd riots when Milley and other senior staff accompanied Trump part of the way across Lafayette Square after it had been cleared of Black Lives Matter. Milley apologized after he was criticized by lefties, saying he should not have been there because his presence created a perception of the military involved in domestic politics.” We discussed this in Episode 28, Self Before Service, as part of a larger leadership context. Anyway, now, Milley and The New Yorker have conjured up a resignation letter that was never submitted to the former president to make the anti-Trump general somehow look noble and heroic.

No more Panic Porn! Many/most liberals and much of the left has been panicking and in fear over "fascism" and "coups" for the past couple years--we call it "panic porn"--but Green & Red has been analyzing the objective conditions set by the ruling class and have been pointing out that key elements of the elite who run America, especially in the military and Wall Street, opposed Trump and would stop him--which they did. This week excerpts from a new book, "The Divider," by Peter Baker and Susan Glasser, have confirmed what Bob and Scott were talking about since 2020 (see episodes below)--that the military was wary of Trump and making plans to thwart his efforts during the George Floyd uprisings and the election steal. At the same time the 1/6 Commission and FBI are closing in on Trump as well, and much of the GOP establishment will be happy to see him taken down. Panic is never a strategy, organization and direct action are. The ruling class is powerful, but there are divergences in it that we can exploit. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Outro- "Stop!

After a federal judge unsealed the search warrant for Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort, we learned FBI agents found 11 sets of classified documents. And House Democrats celebrate after passing the Inflation Reduction Act, which now heads to President Biden's desk. Peter Baker, Melissa Murray, Frank Figliuzzi, Matthew Dowd, David Plouffe, and Rep. Katie Porter join.

The Senate's passage of the Inflation Reduction Act this week marks a turning point in the Biden Presidency. After more than a year of negotiations, the Democratic caucus agreed on a sweeping package, worth hundreds of billions of dollars, which includes many of the Party's long-sought climate and healthcare initiatives. This was followed by the news that the F.B.I. executed a search warrant to look for classified documents at Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump's primary residence. The staff writer Evan Osnos and Michael Luo, the editor of newyorker.com, break down these two momentous stories. They're also joined by staff writer Susan B. Glasser, who along with Peter Baker, published a major story about Trump's antagonism toward the military in the waning days of his Administration. “Were they contemplating using the military in the effort to overturn the election results?” Glasser says. “Your rational self wants to say, ‘No way, that's crazy.' But, in fact, the record that's still being assembled suggests that they were considering doing so.”

The Senate is expected to work through the weekend to pass the Inflation Reduction Act, but  Republicans plan to try to delay the bill. TheJuly jobs report doubles expectations,as unemployment dips to pre-pandemic levels. And, conspiracy theorist Alex Jones is ordered to pay $45.2 million in punitive damages over his lies that the Sandy Hook shooting was a hoax. Peter Baker, Justin Wolfers, Luke Broadwater, Chuck Rosenberg, and Michael Beschloss join.

Former acting chief of staff to Trump, Mick Mulvaney, testified before the 1/6 committee for more than two hours. Meantime, Democrats rush to push a climate and health care package to the floor for a vote after a surprise breakthrough with Sen. Manchin. Plus, after Democrats struck a deal on reconciliation, Senate Republicans tanked the PACT act, which would've expanded health care for veterans exposed to toxic burn pits. Peter Baker, Barbara McQuade, Fmr. Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, Rep. Abigail Spanberger, Juanita Tolliver, Tim Miller, Susan Zeier, and Paul Rieckhoff join.

Show Notes for Episode Twenty-Three of seX & whY: Issues Surrounding Men's Health, Part 1 Host: Jeannette Wolfe Guests: Peter Baker – Director of Global Action on Men's Health  Twitter: @pbmenshealth @globalmenhealth Dominick Shattuck has a PhD in psychology and does Global Health Work at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health     https://www.linkedin.com/in/dshattuck/         Here is a list of Peter Baker's publications including Men's Health Policy: it is Time for Action. Here is a list of Dominick Shattuck's publications Take home points Somewhat ironically even though most major health related organizations are dominated by men in senior positions, men's health is often left out of the agenda. Some of this may be due to a zero-sum game mentality in that it is commonly viewed that the only way to fund men's health is to take away funding from women's health. This isn't necessarily true, and it is important to remember that healthy families and communities are rooted in healthy parents regardless of their biological sex or gender. Men have about a 5-year shorter live span than women and are increased risk for diabetes, early hypertension, substance you disorder and suicide. Peter noted that men's health has not had the grassroots advocacy that many women's health initiatives have had. He attributes this to a belief held by many men that they are strong and independent and as they value the perception of being able to tough things out, advocating for increased health access to medical and mental health resources may be at odds with their desired self-image. We also discussed the different challenges that men compared to women may face when trying to increase their health literacy or navigate access to appropriate services. This is particularly evident in early adulthood.  During this young adult period, females often have an increased awareness of their body and health related issues due to fertility associated concerns, while for many men health related issues often fall off their radar and if they are discussed, the information may be poorly vetted and inaccurate.  We talked about this two and even three decades long health care desert where men can find themselves and in where they have little to no interaction with traditional health systems.   We then spoke a great deal about health messaging and the importance of getting the right message to the right men via the right platform. As Dominick noted, currently a great deal of health messaging is geared towards the category of men that Dominick refers to as “the low-lying fruit” in that they may already have access to a pcp and have good baseline health literacy. He feels strongly that there is a great opportunity to increase engagement with a broader variety of men by respecting their different values and tailoring messages to specific subsets using different types of platforms like integrating important public health messages into radio and TV series.  Please join us next month for a continuation of our conversation in which we will focus on issues surround men's mental health and the roles that men may play in the shifting landscape of reproductive justice. 

The Jan. 6th committee held its last public hearing for this summer in primetime and highlighted Trump's inactions during the 187 minutes the Capitol was under attack.

Claire McCaskill, Daniel Goldman, Peter Baker, Denver Riggleman, Al Schmidt, Frank Figliuzzi, Michael Steele, and Michael Beschloss join.

[00:30] Dazed-and-Confused-in-Chief (39 minutes)Tucker Carlson reported on Friday that Joe Biden's staff and his wife, Jill, regularly dose him with medication to hype him up before public appearances and speeches. This revelation should come as no surprise to anyone; Biden's cognitive decline is evident, and Democrats knew about it before he was elected. Since the current president is too senile to function without mind-altering drugs, it is becoming increasingly obvious that Barack Obama is really in charge. [39:40] Game Over for Joebama (9 minutes)A New York Times article by Peter Baker on July 9 contains stronger criticism for Joe Biden than you will hear from many Republicans. According to the article, a member of Congress described the White House as “rudderless, aimless and hopeless.” Biden is also coming under fire for his fist bump with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, and his popular support in the polls is embarrassingly low. Will Joe Biden even make it to the end of his first term? [49:00] Dr. Birx Openly Admits She Is an Insurrectionist (6 minutes)Dr. Deborah Birx has released a book titled Silent Invasion about her time as White House coronavirus response coordinator during the Trump administration. Using words like “subterfuge,” “subvert,” “surreptitious,” “sleight of hand” and “transgressions,” Birx writes about how she edited coronavirus guidelines and reports so that the president received different information from what was given to state governments. As she admits in her book, “We weren't being transparent with the powers that be in the White House.”

Former Trump White House counsel Pat Cipollone testified in a videotaped session to the 1/6 committee. As the panel prepares for another hearing on Tuesday, new reporting reveals hearings could continue through August and beyond. Plus, President Biden is touting a strong June jobs report. Peter Baker, Barbara McQuade, Maria Teresa Kumar, David Gura, Sarah Sentilles, and Jon Meacham join.

Roll the red carpet and get the cameras ready - in less than a week, the leader of the free world will make his way to Israel, only to be greeted by a freshly-appointed Prime Minister of a caretaker government. Yonit and Jonathan are joined by the New York Times' Chief White House correspondent, Peter Baker, to discuss the objectives of the visit, the upcoming midterms and the American relations with Saudi Arabia.  And, it seems our British friends got a bit jealous of Israel hogging all the political drama - and decided to take a shot at it, with the announcement of  Boris Johnson (Br)exiting office. But as the United Kingdom is left prime minister-less, one issue troubles our co-host most -  who will replace Johnson, the star of more than one of Jonathan's columns?! Plus - here's a scoop: this ice cream manufacturer is losing cone-trol (okay, we're done with the gelato puns) over a battle on selling their products in the settlements.

Potential efforts to pressure and influence witnesses in the Jan. 6th investigation come to light following the last hearing. Trump's media company was subpoenaed in connection to a federal criminal probe. And exactly one week after the reversal of Roe vs. Wade, President Biden met with Democratic governors to talk about protecting abortion rights. Peter Baker, Luke Broadwater, Barbara McQuade, Gov. Jay Inslee, Tim Miller, and Michael Beschloss join.

The fallout from the Supreme Court's ruling on Roe v. Wade continues. Plus, a former White House aide makes shocking claims about President Trump's actions on Jan. 6. Join moderator Yamiche Alcindor, Peter Baker of The New York Times, Tia Mitchell of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Pete Williams of NBC News, and Jacqueline Alemany of The Washington Post to discuss these stories and more.

This comes as pictures are released of Pence in hiding from the rioters during the insurrection. Plus, Trump lawyer John Eastman sought a pardon for his scheme to overturn the election after the Jan. 6th riot. Peter Baker, Joyce Vance, Tom LoBianco, Denver Riggleman, Juanita Tolliver, and Charlie Sykes join.

Plus, an exclusive one on one interview with the iconic actor Henry Winkler. Peter Baker, Clint Watts, Barbara McQuade, Zoe Touray, and Michael Beschloss join. 

No matter how much the tv networks hype these public hearings by the January 6th committee Marion McKeone tells us why a lot of the general public just don't seem to care. With gas prices soaring to record highs worldwide who can blame them. What is the point of these public events? Is it to set the record straight or deal with a clear and present danger to democracy? As yet another “inside the White House” book threatens to reveal more about Jarred Kushner's swift exit, Marion asks why this book is said to be different from the others. Is it the authors Susan Glasser and Peter Baker? The one book everyone seems to want to read is Jarred's memoir “Breaking History”. Marion delves into the LA Mayoral race, the Saudi LIV golf controversy and what you should watch on Netflix this weekend.
