- James Baker: President-Maker (US President Documentary) | Real Stories
The Man Who Made Washington Work is the story of a remarkable politician and statesman who represents a time when a divided Congress got things done, and when presidents and politicians worked together.
James A. Baker III, now 84, helped get three presidents elected, served in top posts for two of them, and was a central player in some of the most momentous events of the late 20th century. With candid testimony from Baker, and first hand accounts from former presidents Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, and George Bush Sr, former Secretaries of State Condoleezza Rice and Henry Kissinger, and former Vice President Dick Cheney, as well as a host of other Washington insiders, journalists and historians, The Man Who Made Washington Work is an eye-opening behind-the-scenes story of power, persuasion and diplomacy at the highest levels.

Great documentary about a truly brilliant American diplomat. James Baker was right when he said “negotiations are about knowing people”…if only our current crop of elected officials could embrace that simple yet profound idea.
and 2 great war's happend then... wow ..not to forget the climate change
Im a lifelong democrat (socially anyway), even so i truly admire Jim Baker and for that matter almost everyone from HW and W's cabinet. The friendship and loyalty they showed each other over the years especially for politicians i really respect that
This was a thoroughly enthralling, insightful and compelling documentary to absorb.
Fantastic work, thank you.
I love this man! A great American and even a better man and Im a Democrat...
I watched James Baker during my years in high school very fine person he is
Pervert
Love your works. We need more people like him, willing to compromise, and who won't see it as something offensive.
Lol. That's a bit of a Strawman argument. In reality, both parties now realize that helping the majority party & opposition party's President pass policy only helps the President's party in the next election... not to mention both parties are funded by virtually the same Corrupting Big Money special interest lobbyists from corporations, billionaires, and other bribing interests.
Probably not gonna happen again in today's politics. America is more divided now then ever.
@@derekbaker777 Reagan's owners wanted a divided violent society as they own the securities, and arms industries as well as prisons for profit and thus slave labor for life.
I have to admit, James Baker was Brilliant
I enjoy History and politics through it all
"Power really accretes to those who get things done" I love Baker quotes and this is def a true one
This was a tremendous documentary from beginning to end. Non-partisan and thoroughly engaging. Great interviews with Presidents Clinton and Carter - along with President H Bush and so many luminaries on both sides of the aisle. I enjoyed learning that Baker and Bush laughed and laughed whenever they were alone together.

That's because Washington is ONE party!
@@reneesantiago6496 I wish that were true. There would be more cooperation and progress.
@@mikejewpants4099 You dont see what I'm saying do you? There is only one party in Washington and they DO work together to serve themselves. Washington is all about power and money. The bickering we see between the 2 parties is mostly just for show....kinda like pro wrestling. Behind the scenes is where you'll find they can all come together scratching each others backs to make money or gain power. This is why real true progressives like Jimmy Dore hate the Democrats and conservatives hate the Republicans. They make what is called "The Establishment"......and they serve themselves.
@@reneesantiago6496 At least they are working together to make sure our nation is powerful and everyone is making money. That's one good thing about our country.
I'm a huge admirer of James Baker, but neither he or anyone can ever convince me that every vote in Florida was counted properly, which will always leave the legitimacy of GWB's election in question. To me, that's an American tragedy.
I think if the votes were recounted 3 times, it would still favor GWB.
Tipper ruined Gore with the PMRC hearings that only ended up with warning labels on LPs.
"We get a sticker? Please put one on ours. It will guarantee it goes platinum"~Nikki Sixx.
FL recount was for Gore and Fox knew Gore had won when they called it for W. The last 5 GOP judges should've neve been seated and wouldn't be in a real Democracy. Oligarchies hate Democracies.
At least we tried with an honest effort. Today we are jailing people for just talking about it. That’s UnAmerican!
No evidence exists
So gore is a traitor !
Phenomenal documentary about a great man.
Peter Baker's and Susan Glasser's bio of Baker, "The Man Who Ran Washington," is a great read.
To appreciate Baker is to appreciate real power on DC.
Another classic doco. 👌
Another brilliant, well crafted documentary
Baker always represented strength .
Great documentary!
The best line of this incredible documentary is at 1:11:10 That perspective is needed now more than ever. Put your country over you party. Facts matter
Maybe my fav modern American who worked in our Gov't. I've read 2 of his great books. Best Sec State and Best chief of staff
I have two questions:
1) What happens to the current crop of American politicians?
2) When did things start going downhill?
Bt the way, does anyone see any difference between Jim Baker and Anthony Blinken?
Amazing to watch. I was too young at the time to know all that was going on.
Me too cause I was born in 1980, but it's nice to be able to watch these historical documentaries as adults here on RUclips.
James Baker created the blue print to get things done in D.C. Currently, today's leaders do not have the political vision that he does, and it is apparent. It takes courage to do what he did.
Great doco guys,well put together even though some details were omitted,but understand only so much can be said in a documentary.
2:19 pow pow Powell
Superb documentary
Baker was the Alan Turing of Politics. One invented the enigma. The other an inventor of ways! A lonely place.... Baker survived. Turing didn't because he was condemned without a just cause. 😢😢
Cảm ơn bạn!
Baker shouldn't be lionized. Politics didn't change. The Texans, including Bob Strauss, tightened their hold.
Absolutely interesting
What a legend. The last great Presidentcy in my opinion.
yeah, exported millions of American jobs overseas. Locked up hundreds of thousands and now going on millions of people for victim-less crimes like drug possession including something as harmless as marijuana. I can go on.
@@blackout07blue I feel you for real the 94 crime bill has personally affected me and he is the one who gave china all the power they have gained since his presidency
The last great presidency? Why don’t you count how many people in his administration were indicted? The great communicator.
really they killed half million iraqis on lies that the bush admin created with the help of this corrupt criminal. So that means you fully supported killing all those people for no reason.which makes you less than desirable only one very sick person would be proud of that admin and the war crimes they commited.
you hit the nail right on the…. head

I wanna be like this guy Baker!
Wonderful historical account.
James Baker would of made an amazing President
Good Ducumentary And Respect All History The World And All PRESIDENT.. may i write which date.
A v ery good documentary. Thank you.
I know that James Baker is the best political advisor to anyone
He did excellent job when he was in Whitte House chief of staffs in Ronald Reagan administration and Secretary of the state during the George H Bush administration
He did what he does best to helped the Reagan and Bush administration job easier
But one final mission he did accomplished was inappropriate mission accomplishment
Overturning the presidential election final result
This made America divided in to apart
*I didn't know a damn thing about politics:* says the Machiavellian who went to university to study History.
It's not really remarkable to learn that a man born into power and privilege continued to lead a life of power and privilege in his adult life....
Thanks!
Excellent.
Hey, my professor is in this doc
What's your professor's name?

Kissinger was not needed in the US politics since day one of his existence !
Cant blame the government as long as i am still a citizen..... "OF the people, for the people & by the people". What shall i do?
Except when the elections are rigged, anyone who believes that they aren't are blind and just don't want to face the fact that we let the government get this way. No way Biden was "the most popular candidate" in history. And Bush definitely lost Florida!
Rest peacefully for all who passed away we will be glad to meet y'all Love family's from Michael a.k.a Lenny Green and NAE NAE and kamika starshima and David 1 love always stay sweet proud and positive as always
Great work done to the american sirJames Baker what a great amarican diplomat
Jim Baker was smart, but unethical, he served the Bush family, and they were corrupt.
Love your video's !
Thanks...
Real good documentary
Great idea 💡
LETS MAKE PRESIDENTES STARTING FROM KINDERGARTEN 🤔
Your account of the US Supreme Court decision is of bias and amnesia. The court’s decision was that the Florida Supreme Court’s decision came about by rewriting Florida Law without the Florida Legislature. The methods used for recount varied.

9:36 side note but what lovely handwriting
My Grandfather had beautiful handwriting, as did my mum, My eldest sister and I are very often told how beautiful our handwriting is.... I'm certain it's passed down in some family members because I have some, that really do not.
@@Cunning.Stunt7My sister's and my handwriting was indistinguishable from our mother's.
Genetic or environment? Or both?
@@terryarmstrong8598My guess would swing more to environmental... or possibly artistic flair. Family members with basic or uneven handwriting, are those superior in mathematics rather than English literature/arts in any form. 0
Ronnie, we miss you. God Bless Ronald Reagan's sole.
How about captions so we know who the speakers are?
An amazing re-write of the "media's" opinion of Jim Baker to weaken the conservative position then and now !
Conservatives have become such clownish people in real life. They've all turned into liars and deceitful people, carrying on to Fox News blatant propaganda informing their voters.
@@blackout07blue This comment didn't age well. Liars, deceitful people. Lol. CNN....sigh. Cuomo...sigh. Joy Reid...sigh. John Griffin...sigh.
@@CG-up2uf The war with Iraq was based on false premises. Kuwait had bought slant drill gear from a TX oil company with W on the BOD and Baker as a stock holder. They knew if Kuwait siphoned Sadaam's oil, he would attack and he did. A military adventure during election season for GOP is a gaurunteed bump in polls and GHW got 87% approval after his 100 day adventure. He would've won re-election but for Perot. W won re-election after his adventure begat a carrier landing photo-op.
Better Secretary of State than Secretary of Treasury (I am a critic of his Plaza Accord Agreement of 84)
Back when California and Texas stood out and built on hard earn accomplishments.
Think it took courage to some extent, for Baker to have spoken up for Palestinian rights in front of APAC. Tough crowd
It’s good to have a face And name to a man that helped actively destroy my life and millions of others.
In what way did he destroy? Please excuse my ignorance.
Handy Girls I don’t want to sound rude but it would take hours to explain the damage his puppets did to my life, my family, and my country. The world, too.
Are you off your meds?
Such accusations are always hurled at those who have to make major, wide-encompassing international decisions. None of those decisions ever have a perfect option that turns out well for everyone in the varied circumstances of human history. If things had turned out better for you, someone else would be claiming that "this decision-maker ruined my life". The key is to take whatever circumstances you find yourself in and do the best you can to move forward. There will always be somebody or something to blame if you wish to bad enough- no matter how far removed the on being blamed actually is from your life.
@@dmichael100 Well said
I love revisionists views, particularly this ultra abbreviated one where these mediocre politicians are forcing the hands of time, instead of like the trackers that they truly were, scratching their heads in confusion trying to unsuccessfully decipher the markings of a dog chasing its own tail in the sand.
As a fellow Houstonian who long admired James Baker, it is hugely disappointing to learn that he supported, twice, an appalling, compulsive liar, crook, vicious bigot and the most despicable human being in the history of US politics. A canny political mind but with feet of clay. What a shame.
it can pass for ''power brokers'' too
Got bored I just couldn’t finish this video.
I recall that period when I became aware men such as Baker had means & opportunities once out of Public Office to feather their own nests further from connections they had made whilst in Govt. . I intuitively thought this is like profiting off the backs of those they once represented. They would have an access to Classified Info. where they could perhaps make Investments in Foreign businesses,; it seemed like a version of Insider Trading - my trust in Elected officials took a big dent. Democracy asks the ordinary citizen to place our faith and trust in them, after all they have the power to take us into war and it is we who do the actual fighting,etc. and I thought it STANK. Whether or not it be simply a "fact of life " just doesn't cut ... it never will ... There should be very strict legislation preventing them or members of their families from slyly profiting off the sweat of the average citizens back by making any type of Investment for a period after leaving office. To lend their acquired 'expertise' to their own Govts. is fine, but not otherwise.
It’s tragic Bush 41 did not win re-election in 1992. We needed Bush / Baker to navigate the rocky waters of the mid 90s
The Bush's are murder'ers....Well Clintons where too but
Bush 41 was approaching dementia, like Reagan literally had at the end of his terms.
Ends at 1:26:52. Then repeats.
Thanks 'Ol Frank
Baker, Rumsfeld, Cheney etc. These guys were allowed to be around the cookie jar for far too long without any oversite.
Jealous much ?
The first time I ever heard about the Ronald Reagan was in 1980 November when he won the election against Jimmy carter
I was only 9 years old at that 3th grade in elementary school
Inside the classroom when I was listening to the new from the speaker
I didn't have any idea who was Ronald Reagan
And when I first ever moved in to the United.State
Ronald Reagan was my first ever American president
Wont let me post the rest. I had to delete certain names before it let me post
I was enjoying this until Cheney made an appearance . Then I got mad all over again.
Me, too.
Cheney is as smarmy as they come.
Sythe lord strikes again
But your cool with the murdering Epstein riding Clinton
I like Cheney, and the entire W cabinet.
This video was so revealing and educational! Enjoyed every minute of it minus -1 … the parts that C. Rice spoke! Could of left her out to have the perfect video!
I don’t think this doc I meant for people looking at governments and there dealings from the outside. It’s complimentary on things I would consider sleazy Just games in the eyes of people who should know that hundreds of millions of peoples lives are affected by there F’n games
The Nest!¡!!! A Lawyer's Lawyer....
Baker could not have got commitment from the UN without the influence of Brian Mulroney
There is something evil looking about Cheneys mouth when he talks.

As if one was less corrupt than the next.
Strangely Bill Clinton was no where for his lieutenant Al Gore🤔
ITs 2024 now what is it really making America great ?
I guess, the above video, can learn you how corrupt the politics is in America.
We need to minimize what we cant get rid of; Capitalism will always have corruption what matters is that We keep it under the level where it destroys our whole system.

Why don’t older gangsters wear jewelry
Smart person
As manipulative as Cheney was, I'd rather have him my tent.
Ja man får säga det att du är så eller är landet möjliga möjligheternas land om man har rätt kontakt och känner gärna färre med rätt kontakt och jag så har man möjligheter och jag tycker ju att George den äldre och Riggan var då bland de bästa bästa presidenten i modern tid ni haft 07
@@user-kl3ps8hy6n what..?
I want to know who was who founded the United States
Why can’t we do this with China also, gobi and bush as friends.
One of the Ronald Reagan presidential camp made a big terrible mistake. was selected George H Bush as vice presidential candidate
همین الان چشم اشگ میریزه ونمی بیند حالم بهم میخورد
I wish George h.w. would have got elected twice. Maybe china would not be in the power spot that they are in now. I like bill Clinton but he is the one who put china in there power position
The guy who drafted NAFTA, sending American factory jobs to Mexico, would not have been much different than the guy who signed NAFTA, sending American jobs to Mexico.
Anyone know who barbara bush's dad was? ( alliester Crowley) look it up. Also look up natzi's cause the bushes are that. Blew my mind when i first heard all this. Than I started looking into it. Put crowleys pic next to barb bushes. Oh boy, they look like the same person but different gender. I like to look into the skeletar closet.
Yeah….good luck with that luck with that “logic”……

James Becker might have done something meaningful things for his country while he was in politic but at the end James Becker disorganized the United State presidential election in 2000
His manipulating the presidential 2000 presidential election made possible loser to winning the presidency
James Becker way of manipulating the presidential election gave so much hope to the DonaldTrump to committing the overturning the election in 2020
I agree there had not been a James Baker stòod by George H Bush side there would never have been 41 George H Bush president
If the James Baker had not been stood by Goerge H Bush side there would never have been Supreme Court decision of the president of the United.State
