>> i see someone who has in our country. he's called people to respond in a way that most politicians have not been able to do. bernie sanders and donald trump are able to draw 10,000, 15,000, hear them speak says there's something going on in our country that they're appealing to in a very interesting, unusual way. >> in your role as secretary of defense, you president george w. bush in his role as commander in chief. you know what that side of the job entails. given what challenges face our around the globe today, would you be comfortable with donald trump or bernie sanders as commander in chief? >> goodness. that's the kind of thing you want to get usedd have to think through. you know, our system is amazing.

hundreds of millions of human beings, to watch then around the track, and then make a judgment about them. what's happening is, people are having a chance to look at a very deep, broad field of republican much more modest field of democratic candidates, and make a judgment about it. >> with all due respect, you dodged it. can personally, as commander in chiefsome. >> can i see the person that gets elected by the american people serve as president of the we've been you bet. >> you're still good at this. no question about it. let me ask you about another candidate, jeb bush. an extremely qualified can't get any traction. you know all about the bush family. why is that? >> i don't know. i suppose there's people who are uncomfortable with thedemocrat side or the republican side.

people are persuaded by someone who is capable of talking and thinking on their compare the various candidates, 14, 15, 16 republican candidates, and they're making judgments about who is the one who is most likely handle a difficult presidential campaign against the other party. >> i mentioned the bush family. i have to ask you about a recent book, a biography 41, george h.w. bush. he had things to you about you and your time as secretary of defense for his son. he said, quote, i think hesident badly. i don't like what he did and i think it hurt the president, having his iron-ass view of there's a lack of humility. a lack of seeing what the other guy thinks.

>> no, he was to the manner born and i wasn't. i guess it didn't surprise me. >> let me ask you -- >> i was amazed that he said what he said when he said it, because imore complimenting of his son, george w. bush, and i didn't think it was very helpful to his other son who was running for ught it was kind of a strange thing for him to be doing. >> let me ask you about isis. so much debate about how to defeat them. president obama thinks he can can defeat isis would large numbers of u.s. boots on the ground. do you agree? >> oh, you know, i don't agree or ms to me that if you want to hold real estate and eliminate somebody from holding real estate, that requires people on the ground.e other hand, what we're dealing with here is a long war, a long struggle against a very fundamentally

it's going to take many, many deal with that problem in the world. >> quickly, if you were secretary of defense right now, would you recommend to the president that he put u.s. boots on the ground? >> i'm not secretary of want to do is sit down with people and look at it. it seems to me, that is only a part of the problem. if you don't know where you're going, any road will get you there. this president clearly has a decision with respect to what the nature of the problem is we're facing or how it ought to be dealt with. >> former secretary of defense as i said, you'll come back in our next half hour and talk about an exciting new venture for you. >> good. >> thank you very much. good t rotein? milk has 8 grams to help give you energy to unleash your potential. start every day with
