[indiscernible] he said i could have either one of those offices. because of my background in the relationships -- [indiscernible] i had an office not only in the -- west wing.t we had a significant legislative impact. that was all based on personal relationships and background with the house and senate. i think that is a great story. demonstrative a story as to the significance of the vice president. i want to get back to the founders. they got you that office to some degree because it opened the door that you would be p

cheney: one ox? v.p. cheney: one thing i remember, i think i have a correct, there was a little confusion if you will on what the executive role would be. when you look at the development stages. you look at washington's first address to congress. making strategy for him. then it was submitted by the president to congress. madison wrote the congressional response, the executive's message, which he had written himself. and then again washington used , them to respond to that message. there was confusion about who was writing whom. imagine that the president of the united states called a congressional leader to write his speech. they were making it up as they went along. >> the political climate at that time though, had such a reaction to george the iii, and the idea of a strong executive was one of the great concerns they had. in terms of having too much power over the presidency kind of the backdrop. many people at the constitutional convention, they did not have an executive. they had congress before. 17

were manipulated was the timing of the article and how it seemed to be well coordinated with dick cheney and others appearing on the sunday morning news talk shows at the same time, so my question is this, when you have an opportunity to do a future story about our going to war, have you thought about what you would do in order to avoid the kind of controversy you found yourself in because i do believe you had so much credibility that your seeming to get manipulated really honestly hurt me -- >> guest: , well, it's a really good question, let me just tell you that i have not met george bush to his day and i did not meet dick cheney until after he left office, years office he -- years after he left office. the people did not give me the information. michael gordon and i wrote the controversial story about aluminum tubes. we had to pull it out of people. we had to stitch the story together and confront the administration with what we knew and only after we did that, did they agree to talk about a top-secret program that the administration didn't want to talk about to us about. i think from

the bush-cheney years.f you remember the history, we had a lot of trouble when bush and cheney -- i think normally would be embarrassed, should have been embarrassed by the lies they told the mistakes they made, let's put it that way, about the wmd's that saddam did not have an ongoing nuclear weapons system, which was known to an awful lot of people before we took over baghdad and discovered nothing. at that point, i think it was a year later in 2004, suddenly, gaddafi, after allegedly having -- we caught a ship full of some dual use goods and we stopped the ship that was going to tripoli with it, he suddenly --ounced he was giving up unilaterally going to give up his chemical arsenal and wmd's, nuclear plans are options, and it was a big victory at a very much needed time by the bush and cheney crowd. there was a victory that showed our policies working right. money was involved. covert money. a lot was going on. i had been doing a book about cheney for a long time. i can tell you, it was a considerable a

one of the things that made the post 9/11 theories of dick cheney and george bush so extremist is there is no more limitless power that a president han the power he can exercise during a theater of war. on a battlefield, there really is no law. everybody acknowledges that. terrorist say when men take up arms, law false. more is the ultimate expression of lawlessness in limitless powerful stuff on the battlefield, people shoot each other without having trials or due process. everyone agrees that is war to nobody thinks soldiers have to give opposing soldiers a trial before shooting them. that is what war is. what made these post-9/11 theories so radical is the assertion was made for the first time theaters of war were no longer confined to find a physical faces, the battlefield. it was now the case the entire planet was the battlefield. including u.s. soil. therefore, the limitless power that the president can exercise on a battlefield are now no longer confined to physical spaces. essentially the president is omnipotent everywhere because that is where the battlefield is found. what you

it was titled trump's missed opportunity and kyle cheney writes quote, that meeting nebraska is where the billionaire appears to have missed his chance. party officials say they saw virtually no organization by the moguls campaign last week when republicans in all 93 nebraska counties hold local conventions. these county conventions picked 800 delegates in the convention where $33 forthe national convention in cleveland will be selected. so we saw it in colorado, now we seem to be seeing the same kind of thing if we can trust mister cheney about nebraska. trump doesn't have the ground game that's going to get him the delegates that he's going to need if you wants to win 1237 . >> and this is part of the problem about running as an outsider candidate or the outsider candidate in a national race like this. on the one hand he can tell that he's not from washington and he's against the establishment. the flipside of that is not having the insider knowledge or having anyone on your staff who has the insider knowledge to know how to work the system which is complicated and complex. this has

and i would say in the -- you know, for me, you know, i had worked for vice president cheney for four years. 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

we heard the same evidence from george bush and dick cheney about whether or not we should go to waraq. i listened very, very carefully. i didn't believe what they were saying. i voted against that war.

i would say in the -- you know -- for vice president cheney. 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 se
