they said bob gates, when he was director, declassified the existence of the daily briefing. i asked bob gates about it and he said i didn't declassify it. i figured it was ald declassify. there is something funny about the impression it is secret and the fact this book isn't secret. the context is a different matter. >> could you give the folks sort of a precise understanding of white are talking about here? >> sure. every day the analyst at the central intelligence agency and members give the president a book with cutting-edge analysis interpretation of world events from a variety of sources; human intelligence, communication interception, and satellite images to tell the president what he needs to know about what is going on in the world. it might be a crisis, a pending coo, or a long time issue. mr. president, you need to be aware of this dynamic because we have the ability to affect it. each day it is compiled with several articles around places around the world. its format and delivery style has changed over the decades. that is where the stories come from. the message

and frankly, your father, the brzezinski award, the inaugural award went to bob gates, who many peopleld be involved around the globe. i would add a third word. you've used intervention, you've used hawkish, i would use involved and engaged and i believe that mrs. clinton believes america has to engage would speak to mark's point about havings a presence around the globe, which is what i believe your father was saying -- >> they called him hawkish. >> -- he resisted filling the vacuums that have existed all over the world, because he thinks their quagmires waiting to happen and the american public isn't interested in fighting every war around the world. >> and hillary clinton, and elisabeth, is it not safe to say that hillary clinton presidency will have a foreign policy far different than a barack obama presidency? >> i don't know if it's far different. it obviously depends on what happens. i think she would be more willing to commit force in certain areas. and by the way, just to add, she was opposed to the iraq surge in 2006 and 2007. >> it's true. >> it's not totally consistent. >>

charlie: bob gates once said to -- former national security director of defense. he said the great leaders have had a first class temperament. not necessarily a first class mind, though often that too, but they've all had a first class temperament. >> i think that is the key. the old line, second rate intellect, first rate temperament. and i think it's so important. people know this is a dangerous world. people know we have some very big problems domestically that have resisted solutions from democratic presidents and republican presidents and in a sense that have helped to generate the kind of cynicism toward government in washington that trump has been able to use to fuel his candidacy. and yet when you get into the presidency, people know there are crises that happen. people know that there are risks that come at you and dangerous situations. and i think they want to be reassured that whoever is sitting in the oval office has the kind of temperament that they can rely on to keep the country safe. to look for solutions that are going to affect the whole of the p

where it was early in the administering she was trying to prove her relevance and in that behind bob gates, petraeus, but maybe lost an opportunity to make a stronger case for the diplomatic side of the equation. in afghanistan we needed to perhaps do more with pakistan, perhaps do -- more of greater recognition of the karzai government. that was really the role she could have played in that debate. i would argue she didn't as much as she could have. >> last 20 seconds. where would you expect hillary clinton to turn first if she were president? >> i'd be very interested to see whether she finally did try to tackle syria in a more aggressive way than the president. i'd also be very interested to see what she does with vladimir putin. she's been much more skeptical for longer period of time about the intentions of the russians i'd love to see what she did with him not just syria but the ukraine. >> dickerson: thanks so much for this fascinating look. book is "alter ego." we'll be back in a moment. i think we should've taken a left at the river. tarzan know where tarzan go! tarzan does not kn

i had known bob gates for 40 years. i had known condi for 20 years. you know, you have a comfort with people, and you have confidence with them, and there's a presumption of good faith. and it really helps things get done. secondly, and i'd say the president, and i'd say the national security adviser, the inner agency process in the nsc is the president's -- the president has to take responsibility for it. if it's not working and it's dysfunctional, the president needs to fix it because nobody else is going to be able to fix it for him. thirdly, i think i would say to them, yes, get consensus, if you can, on lower level issues among the principals but take it to the president as a check because the president may not agree with the consensus. again, the national security council does not make decisions. it prepares decisions for the president to make. that's who the country has elected to make decisions. so, yes, work on consensus on lower level issues but bring the consensus to the president. and on the big issues, bring him or bring her options and l

with people like bob gates who had also been a senior agency officer for years. these briefers had to be on their game x they said it was an exhilarating experience having the president of the united states knowing he was going to get on the phone with this leader to have that in-depth conversation on what's driving that leader on how are you going to move things forward. it also made him comfortable enough with the intelligence that he could have a little fun with it. one of the stories in the book is the time that he read the analysis in the book that an election in nicaragua was going to go for dan yell ortega -- daniel ortega. analysts predicted he's going to win. the president looked at husband briefer, said i don't think so. i'll bet you an ice cream cone that you're wrong. now, you're the briefer, he wants to bet you an ice cream cone, you take the becamer. [laughter] he explains why the analyst feels that way, takes the wager, next day brings in an ice cream cone. the president was right, the analysis was wrong. thank you. >> there's one right here, amand

it is june 2011 farewell speech on nato's future, defense secretary bob gates famously said that our european allies were and had been apparently unwilling to devote the necessary resources or make the necessary changes to be serious and capable partners in their own defense. he declared that nato faced the real possibility of a dim if not dismal future, but in response to this danger, now especially in the wake of russian invasion and annexation of a neighbor, this is not the time to call for nato's abandonment but to press ahead in validating nato's relevance. then finding the necessary resources. and i believe that process is under way, as i've just described. given the new threats to nato's eastern border state, our allies are finding greater support for making larger commitments to their own security. now, another pressing reason to solve the resources problem is the host of new requirements this modern alliance needs to face. since the period of enlargement and the euphoria of democratic revolutions, nato has made repeated attempts to define its new missions. the most recent st

i had known bob gates for 40 years, i have known connedi for 20 years. you know, you have a comfort with people and you have confidence with them there's a presumption of good -- i would say the interagency process in the nsc is the president -- and if it's not working sand disfunctional, the president needs to fix it, because nobody else will be able to fix it but takes it to the president it prepares decisions for the position to make. so yes, work on consensus, but bring the consensus to the president, and on the big issues bring him or bring her options. let's have the president makes decisions, and that's the way it works best. >>> there's two ways the done business. one is how domestic policy tense to get done. goes to the president and says i like that one, and then it's brought to the cabinet secretaries in the sense that there's a train going down the track, and the president is driving the train. we had a different left in the natural security side, to involve the cabinet secretaries in the development of policy from the get-go. i think it met

. >> and what i was saying the other night, nobody said anything, but you had bob gates sitting nextbrzezinski sitting next to john warner sitting next to brent scowcroft and without anybody saying anything from -- in the talks, everybody was just talking around the table, chattering around the table. what's happened to this country? who are going to replace these men? who are the foreign policy giants of our age? there aren't any. >> i would argue john kerry is a pretty experienced secretary of state but what i would say is you layer on top of that the fact that we're in an election year so we're kind of paralyzed in from that standpoint. when i go overseas all people want to understand is how does it work in america, how does donald trump happen, how do these people happen? and there's a complete preoccupation with our election and what will come out of it. >> there's also -- secretary kerry has given voice around the world to what america presents but bono was on the other morning and what he was talking about is an element -- plays a part in this. when america disappears from par
