cheney's husband of 52 years, dick cheney, to please stand up. vice president cheney. thank you so much for coming. it means a lot to me. well, i am honored to introduce this morning a distinguished speaker. when i called her last year to invite her, she said, gay, am i the only speaker who hasn't won a pulitzer prize? i said yes, but you are the only speaker who is chairman of the national endowment of the humanities for seven years and you are the only speaker who was second lady of the united states of america for eight years. if you google dr. cheney, you will be blown away by all of her awards and accomplishments. but as always, i am not going to list all of that, i expect you to do that. while she was head of nah, she published american memory, a report that warned about the failure of schools and institutions of higher learning to transmit accurate knowledge about the past to future generations. she said, quote, a system of education that fails to nurture memory of the past denies students a great deal. one of the most successful series she funded when she was t

vice president cheney. we are in a conversation about doctor cheney's newest book virginia dynasty. i'm robert, president of aei. i would like to start this morning by reading from doctor cheney's opening paragraph and put the spike of a drawing compass into a map of virginia farm with george washington's boy home and extend the other regular compass or reaches out 60 miles and draw a circle. within it not only washington but also thomas jefferson, james madison and james monroe were born. they made their home. from this small expanse of land on the north american continent came four of the nations first five presidents. it's a dynasty whose members lead in securing interdependence, creating the constitution and building the republic. what a great way to start a book. i've spent most of last night reading it and it's a wonderful chronicle with four major leaders and the interconnected networks that tied them together at the founding of this country. it is a story that evokes what the historian bill mcclay c

lynn cheney. (clappinig) >> thank you for the nice welcome and i've got to get a printed copy that introduction and great introduction. all her hard work that she is done and creative thinking to put a series of speeches together. so gabe, thank you and thank all of you for being here today and loving the idea of listening to stories about the past. it took me five years to write the book about madison. that's not an excessively long time, i think you if you would ask your other prisoners, it's a long process. but when you tell someone who isn't a writer to do five years, they are stunned. and after being stunned about how long i spent on the book, they are stunned that i spent five years on madison. and i completely love the time i spent working on it. and i explained that i like madison because he wasn't a flamboyant character. he was reserved and he got things done without making a whole lot of fuss about it. i think that is an achievement to be valued. for folks who are wishing for the microph

cheney's books in the lobby. thank you, everyone. >> thank you. up next on american history tv, remarks from jeffrey rosen on james madison and democratic ideals. he currently serves as president and ceo of the national constitution center in philadelphia. held by the james madison memorial fellowship foundation, this is an hour and 45 minutes. >> we welcome you to the james madison lecture which our foundation sponsors every year. seated in our seats today are 49 fellows who are here at georgetown university studying the foundations of american constitutionalism. they are all high school teachers or middle school teachers of american history and american government or civics. then we have several of our alumni who have come. i would like not to

so carl cheney and i sat down and he recited the litany why he didn't think cheney would be the rightist. everything i could think of. been kicked out of yale, twice, that i had an arrest record. >> the interesting thing about the vice presidential selection, if it's done thoroughly, there is a lot of investigation into the potential candidates. and inevitably, there is problems. income tax issue or something issue or a statement that would come back to haunt a potential candidate. >> when we looked at the constitution, there was no provision for removing a vice president except through impeachment. it was something i was concerned about on my watch because i had a history. of heart disease. so we sort of cobbled together our own, which was to sign a letter of resignation, give it to my lawyer dave addington, and he held it in his office. it basically said that i resign the vice presidency at noon today. then my counsel would take the letter that i had already sign and give it to the president. it's the act of submitting the letter to the secretary of state that vacates the office, ma

"the guy is a real card" which talks about cheney's humor.uriel humphrey telling joe no matter what this job costs you, don't let it cost your family. and there is a lot of messed up kids. you can't let the kids get the big head. they got to know they're still human beings. if you get in that position, you got to work at it. >> maril and i have been through a lot of campaigns, not at this level, but it's really hard on the kids. in school they all knew i was in the senate, but that was no big deal. everybody in washington was the son or daughter of a senator, congressman or cabinet officer, somebody who is important. but now the vice presidential nominee is a little different, and their friends look at them differently. that's tough. our new house is amazing. great street, huge yard. there is a bit of an issue with our neighbors fencing. neighbor 1: allez! (sound from wind chimes) neighbor 2: (laughing) at least geico makes bundling our home and car insurance easy. which helps us save even more. neighbor 2: hey, sarah, hey, peter! neighbor 1:

cheney for coming here and sharing her views on president and mrs. madison. we will revisit a couple of the issues that you discussed but let's jump right into your writing style, tell us a little bit about how you picked your topic and how you approach the research process. >> during the writing of the book madison i was entranced with the notion that for the first 36 years of the republic, the virginians were in charge for 32, and i was interested not only in how this came about , and that is a good story, but in the interactions between them, and the personal interactions, and i will not give away too much, but there are some surprises there. and how i write, i was a teacher of freshman english for quite a while, i was getting my phd, and i just tortured these poor freshman, i made them take note cards, and every note card had to have a separate idea on it, and you organize the notecards, and you wrote, i do not do any of that, and i feel so bad for all those freshman i misled for so many years. i kind of start writing, and i research while i write, and it

cheney's books in the lobby.thank you, everyone, thank you. >> thank you. >>> this is american history tv on c-span3 where each weekend we feature 48 hours of programs exploring our nation's past. >>> american history tv is on social media. follow us at c-span history. >>> merry christmas from the white house. nancy and i wish we could thank the thousands of you who sent us holiday cards, greetings and messages, each one is moving and tells a story of its own. a story of love, hope, prayer and patriotism. and each one has helped to brighten our christmas. some of the most moving have

cheney: thanks very much. every one of us lined up on these steps, every single member on the other side of the aisle, we represent thousands, thousands of people, thousands of small businesses who are hurting. and when i watch what speaker pelosi and the democrats are doing, there are many things -- many times we have come up and raised our disagreements with the speaker. but when i watch this, it is a level of sin civil and willingness to ignore the people that she represents that i have not seen before. and it makes absolutely clear, speaker pelosi has been in congress and been in congress as the speaker for far too long. the american people deserve a house of representatives that is one that will do what is needed. we are in the middle of a pandemic. we have small businesses across this country, ag producers, energy prusters, hospitals, people who are suffering. and if the speaker of the house seems to think this is about sitting in back rooms negotiating deals, scoring political points, when she finally s

cheney was also -- has a great sense of humor. very kind of low-key good timing. he called me one time, it was in the morning. i picked up the phone and it was at the voice of dick cheney said john, -- i've got us into some trouble. >> i said oh? >> he said the president is going to europe and he's not gonna go to the radio tv correspondents dinner. and i got to go there tomorrow. and be funny for ten minutes. and then he says, i don't be funny. but the truth is, he does. and my colleague matthew scalia and i said, we hurriedly put together a speech forum for the next night i think it was. and he's a great job. he was very good at that. >> i want to ask you this question, because i don't know the answer. the way the correspondents dinner works is usually a league writer who is the phony speech writer -- i've never been a fine speech writer ever. but everyone kind of summits jumps to that person, and i spent a lot of time like on a page two jokes and give them to john levant who is already speech writer. he's very nice about it, who maybe choose what maybe zero. do

cheney and george bush told. me. to feel whole about with the. more i've heard of this you could use a poseur to trot out the top of my. heart that could be me and i'm hoping. to. get it going in the. us and. they say they complaints to the government have gone nowhere. the artist is determined to draw attention to that i watched. last night. on the. way down. the hall what was he was to us to so. you want more such. moments ago. guns in the. internet i mean john saw all about so you obviously. now listen to these are not. your moods i mean. you don't know what us. then you had some of. it's. just so you just the you can millions and you have them you see that you're not on. the good end of a number such and you're writing for you know to us that you will and. so is all going to want to go so long so we're on the same song all. in and considering that you know sonny and cher kind of engine hallucinations. are curator jen home is here to help not brother with these projects but they've struck resistance. grounding the to him was. just working and

lynne cheney is the author of "james madison." this is 45 minutes. >>> thank you. before we begin i just want to again acknowledge and thank the former vice president of the united states, dick cheney" for coming to the program today. let me acknowledge, gay, david, molly and marie, the entire team at the society for hosting this magnificent five-part series. thank you. most importantly, i would like to thank dr. cheney for coming here and sharing her views on president and mrs. madison, thank you. we will revisit a couple issues you discuss, but let's jump into your writing style. tell us a little bit about how you picked your topics and researched the research process. >> well, during the writing of the book, i was intranced. the virginians were in charge for 32 years, and i was interested not only in how this came about, and that's a good story, but in the interactions between them, in the personal interactions. i won't give away too much, but there are surprises there. oh, and how i write. you know, i was a teacher of freshman english for quite a while, i was g

[applause] >> i am proud to have dick cheney by my side, and america will be proud to have him as our next vice president. today i chose to speak from the chamber of house of representatives because it's been a home to bipartisan cooperation. you're in a place where you are in the majority, republicans a democrats have work together to work for the people who they represent. we have had spirited disagreements, at the and we found constructive consensus. it's an experience i will always carry with me, an example i will always follow. i want to thank my friend, speaker, pete leni, a democrat who introduced me today. i'm to thank the legislators from both political parties with whom i've worked. across the hall in our texas capital is the texas senate. i can't help but think of our mutual friend, the former democrat lieutenant governor bob. his love for texas, and his ability to work in a bipartisan way, continue to be a model for all of us. the spirit of cooperation i have seen in this hall is what is needed in washington d. c.. it's the challenge of our moment. after a difficult electi

bedrock of washington politics since well probably the signing the declaration of independence from cheney and halliburton to 989 keating 5 to warren harding's teapot dome scandal back and maintain 21 the american people have had a front row seat to some of the biggest political swindles of all time and this isn't letting up anytime soon because frankly the lobbyists nod and wink along with a significant campaign contribution be a 3rd party fundraiser to the candidate or party has become the go to and tragically legal form of bribery that fuels this nation's capital just ask the inaugural committee for president elect joe biden which is coming under fire parading millions in corporate sponsored cash for what will most likely be a virtual inauguration thanks to cope with 19 that will cost nothing and yet they wonder why 80 percent of americans both republican and democrat do not trust the federal government to do the right thing always or even most of the time according to pew research and that my friends is why we are always watching the hawks. what's going on a city street you want to. se

political cover for all those so that cheney military oh i have companies. yeah it's been out there the interest it's all reported on on the intercept. and it's all the information has recently come out would leak audio and they were basically being run by the masters of china now during the vice presidential debates they sell a chinese censors cut away from pence when he answered the china question and then back to camelot harris when she was asked these questions china obviously prefers biden to tromp but how do you expect this relationship to change especially in light of their last revelations that a democratic member of congress may have been sleeping with a chinese spy well if there's any young enterprising ger journalist out there if you start to look into this story the layers and sees its massive so we could end up with a whole new mccarthy style trial and politicians that have access to chinese money . it is the list goes on. and. you know the chinese have been you know they're trying to infiltrate the u.s. the same way they would infiltrate themse

in basically doing business with them to bribe them so it's not surprising if you understand the cheney system works it's very easy to lay out and you know this is not just one side of the aisle it's also the other side take a look at mcconnell's in the 10s of millions hundreds of millions of dollars in jamie shipping contracts so. it's really the elephant in the room in american politics now and now is just question of are we going to see any action taken place on i think it's pretty clear at this point that america has become a vassal state of china i don't mean i percent certain the best i think anyone who argues that point is. moron now let's talk about this there's a new bretton woods how do you think china will demand it when they all get together for this if you will where max security systems that are complete pressure now on the c.s. is done a complete wreck or the world's been printing money for decades and decades it's now on completely out of control you've got money supply you know that have increased 3040 percent year over year we're really starting to see the final supern

better place and she will be a wonderful first lady of america. [ applause ] i am proud to have dick cheney by my side. and america will be proud to have him as our next vice president. [ applause ] tonight, i chose to speak from the chamber of the texas house of representatives because it has been home to bipartisan cooperation. here in a place where democrats have the majority, republicans and democrats have worked together to do what is right for the people we represent. we've had spirited disagreements. and in the end, we found constructive consensus. it is an experience i will always carry with me. an example i will always follow. i want to thank my friend, house speaker pete laney, a democrat who introduced me today. i want to thank the legislators from both political parties with whom i've worked. across the hall in our texas capitol is the state senate and i cannot help but think of our mutual friend, the former democrat lieutenant governor bob bullock, his love for texas and his ability to work in a bipartisan way continue to be a model for all of us.

bush commuted perjury sentence for lewis scooter libby it was also dick cheney steve chief of staff for revealing the identity of cia agent valerie plame and finally george h.w. bush he pardoned armand hammer for making illegal contributions to the mix and campaign after a hammer. contributed over 100000 to the republican party so i'm sorry contributions for pardons that's a large part and are never free. for president elect joe biden the road to clinching the democratic primary and ultimately the 2020 presidential election was paved by black people from the organizers across the south in places like georgia where former gubernatorial candidate and voting rights advocate stacey abrams voting rights activist and organizer latasha brown and countless others gears building a base that had all too often been ignored while in 2020 they were heard regardless of where you get your news the story was the same black voters made all the difference though black voters only make up a level percent of the national electorate $9.10 of them supported joe biden now with inauguration just around the cor

lynn meant young dick cheney in high school. the vice president told me that his father was choosing between two jobs, one was in casper, kentucky, and one was in great falls, montana. he said, you know, if we had gone to great falls, montana, i never would have met lynn. she would have met another fellow at high school, fallen in love and married him, and he would have become the vice president. [ laughter ] dr. chaney wrote that the high school was the most beautiful building in the wyoming and the most beautiful building in casper. the second most beautiful building was the library which opened in 1910. she said by the time i started going there some 40 winters of hot-water heating had worked to combine the consent of varnished wood with the odor of aging books to create a wonderful smell. one that was unique in my experience. in the 1950s, it was a haven for kids like lynn vincent who loved books. this was a different time back in the 1940s and '50s and a lot of us in this audience can relate to it. i remember too. teens and
