Had designs on the allies. after allies it had designs on us. as a result of that president trump man moving aggressively created the marshall plan, the truman doctrine which said we will support all who oppose communism around the world. and just as importantly, it created nato just a few years later in order to cordon off the soviet union. but the long telegram woke up america. it woke up people of the stature of dean atchison, the future secretary of state and it also helped quiet the left-wi...

>> i dont think it will be the biden administration, pete. if you realize what happened to our secretary of state in our own country just a few months ago when he was haranged by the chinese foreign minister. the chinese foreign minute sister quoting joe bidens own critique of our country with the woke words of the president of the united states and the secretary of state could only respond by saying were imperfect. you were in that seat or richard nixon or ronald reagan were in that seat you wo...

Calvin coolidge talked more than this guy. historians might have to record he might have been bested by a guy, a president, by the way, who adheres to no such rules of behavior? >> its funny, basically, our public life has become a bar fight, and who knew it would be the "star wars" cantina bar fight. its unquestionably mueller comes from an entirely different ethos than the incumbent president. he comes from the world of george h.w. bush from dean atchison, sort of the a y, as y say, figures yo...

Advice that you give him, you will make sure that the white house is presented a united front? >> absolutely. jim baker, who taught me an awful lot about politics, about foreign affairs, used to end most discussions about things where clearly my suggestion wasnt going anywhere by saying, because, john, the guy that got elected doesnt want to do it. i think the rest of the bureaucracy needs to understand as well when the guy that got elected makes a decision, thats what the constitution provides....

Ever forgot who was president. >> martha: well, this is an interesting president. he does things in a very different way. theres discussion that if john kelly does decide to leave that maybe the president wouldnt replace a chief of staff. maybe he would sort of run things more on his own. you think that would be a wise decision? >> you know, if i were a completely private citizen, i might have a view on that. im not sure that in the present circumstances im going to comment on that one either. s...
