along with dick cheney. they will be joined by mr. romney's son, josh romney, who will be attending in person. as will the chairman of the republican party, the nationwide one. and they will be getting an exclusive video address from the vice presidential nominee of the republican party, paul ryan. you know what's interesting? in this last couple weeks of the campaign as the republican side has been trying to win over undecided voters in the swing states, trying to make mr. romney seem as moderate as possible, in order to do that they have sort of submarined paul ryan a little bit. they're putting him out at some events but not very many. yesterday, for example, on the campaign trail, paul ryan had exactly one event. it was a policy speech. it was a policy speech they timed to take place at the exact same time as a big mitt romney event in nevada. the romney campaign at least online did not go out of their way to provide the video of the paul ryan event or any of the highlights. again, that was the only public event that paul ryan had

dick cheney raising money for you and glenn beck?> romney even went back or sent paul ryan back to the same place where they filmed the 47% fund-raiser. so the campaign is dry for cash and seems to kind of overwhelm its political instinct. if it's mitt romney showing up for the foreign policy debate where he is hugging the president's ankles and saying, whoa, that's what i believe, then it's not much change. but if it's the mitt romney having a fund-raiser with dick cheney and glenn beck and something like 17, 20 bush foreign advisers, yes, that's going to be a change about what we had under the bush years and, you know, it's apparently a low bar for what it takes of collin poll foreign policy. obama didn't start a new war. baby steps. we'll take that on the foreign policy front. >> let me ask erin in the short time we have left, republicans already showing an endorsement. listen to what john mccain had to say. >> i used to be a great admirer of colin powell. we were friends. i think one of the sad aspects of his career is going to u

. >> my running mate, dick cheney. >> before bush made this announcement, rove wanted to mislead the media. >> we had a a guy on the campaign who was leaker. he said what is going on? i said look, big secret, don't tell anybody but burn has decided to go with jack of missouri. >> john: media ran with the false story. >> i was the guy that was going to go leak. >> john: lying to the guy? >> yes. >> what it does it helps tell a story, you want it told by an evening anchor or a candidate that expresses why he made this choice. >> john: four years later the "new york post" says john kerry had picked richard gephardt to to be his running mate but, of course, he picked out edwards. edwards turned out to be another mistake, but the media reported even fooled the campaign manager. >> i called up dick gephardt, i know you can't talk about this. he said i never happened. he said, steve, it didn't happen. wouldn't y wouldn't you believe so emphatically? >> you absolutely must keep all of this conversation going on with the nominee. >> john: so lying is okay in politics? >> running for office, l

you never hear democrats invoke kick h ta dick cheney positively. hope to stop the momentum from last week's debate the way dick cheney did in his debate in '04 after the democrats just clobbered his running mate president george w. bush in the first debate that year. >> you miss 33 out of 36 meetings of the judiciary committee. almost 70% of the meetings of the intelligence committee. you missed a lot of key votes on tax policy, on energy, on medicare reform. your hometown newspaper has taken to calling you senator gone. you've got one of the worst attendance records in the united states senate. now, in my capacity as vice president, i am the presiding officer. i'm up in the senate most tuesdays when they're in session. the first time i ever met you is when you walked on the stage tonight. >> not true, actually. dick cheney had met john edwards before, but he played it very well to good effect there. dick cheney essentially doing to john edwards in 2004 there what democrats are hoping joe biden will do to paul ryan tonight. i'm going to go first he

actually regulate fracking i mean dick cheney kind of snuck that thing through in the in the dark of night and the you know he of halliburton fame and halliburton was the leader in the whole fracking thing they don't let this happen in europe are they they have they got it but this is you know this is a toxic waste disposal site basically but to produce as natural gas is a byproduct. you know we're seeing we're actually receiving phone calls from south africa from australia as well as other parts of the united states where people in communities are facing fracking and they're coming to the recognition and the understanding that if we regulate inactivity it's take place like fracking that means we're actually allowing it to come in our communities are saying we understand that fracking is just fundamentally dangerous impacts to our environment and our health and we're simply not going to accept it and so they're understanding that we're trying to regulate something better or even if the e.p.a. were to regulate fracking it still means fracking is coming into our communities and communi

but dick cheney did not jeff thanks for the color earth yet jeff i bet appreciate your calling what dick cheney did was basically slipped through in the dark of night into law in two thousand and four i think it was his company halliburton which had been almost bankrupt when he became vice president he had run that company into bankruptcy but buying dresser industries which had all these as best as liabilities his company had had to develop this fracking technology so when they wanted to start doing fracking you know cheney cheney promoted and said the clear air act of clean water act provisions don't cover it it doesn't matter so that that's it for your take my take live thank you for all your calls if we didn't get your call tonight tries back next week. is the good the bad of the very very hammer of finally oddly the good fight. patel during a panel discussion yesterday at the john jay college of criminal justice in new york city patel from the brennan center for justice and other criminal justice experts argued that the n.y.p.d. should have an inspector general to examine the co

oh no, dick cheney getting shot in the face like a hunting partner for cheney would. we're not done yet! you think he had mercy on him? he had no mercy last night. he says you want to talk about russia? hell, you don't understand much about foreign policy. let me straighten your ass out. >> obama: a few months ago when you were asked what was the biggest geopolitical threat threatening america, you said russia. not iraq but russia. the cold war has been over for 20 years. but governor, when it comes to our foreign policy, you seem to want to import the foreign policies of the 1980s just like the social policies of the 1950s and the economic policies of the 1920s. >> cenk: ooh. the last part of that line is underappreciated. going back to the social policies of the '50s, economic policies of the 1920s. whether in the '80s, '50s or the '20s, mitt romney finds himself in that ring again. when is this going to end? don't do it again! you hit me already. for christ's sake, pin me. have some mercy. but no, not yet. hey, mitt, did you happen to mention bin laden because i th

. >> my running mate, dick cheney. >> before bush made this announcement, rove wanted to mislead the media. >> we had a guy on the campaign who was a leaker. >> how do you know he was a leaker? >> well, because he was a leaker. -- said, what's going on with the vice presidency? i said, look, big secret, don't tell anybody, but bush has decided to go with jack danforth of missouri. >> the media ran with the false story. >> felt sort of bad, but i wasn't lying to the media, i was just giving misdirection to the guy who leaked. >> lying to the guy? >> well, yeah. it helps tell a story. when you want to have the story told by an evening anchor or the story told by the candidate who expresses in front of the cameras with as few filters as possible why he made this choice. >> four years later the "new york post" said john kerry had picked richard gephardt to be his running mate. this was of course a mistake. kerry had picked john edwards. john edwards turned out to be another kind of mistake, but that's another story. what the media reported even fooled gephardt's campaign manager. >> i ca

it came down to i am not dick cheney, i am not donald rumsfeld, and i do think the debate, while the president is more knowledgeable and more in control and command, too intense -- he came across to intense and he did not get a break that he needed in the campaign. he won the debate. gallup, among independents, he won it two to want, but he did not get the edge -- >> he did not get the edge -- >> and he could not, because while he did well in the second and third debate, nothing could overcome what he did in the first debate. he let people down, he let himself down. >> republican colin powell and horses barack obama. > -- endorses barack obama. >> you have to wonder if that is based on issues or if he has a slightly different reason to endorse president obama. >> what reason would that be? if u have somebody of your own race that you're proud of being president of the nine states, i applaud colin for standing with him. >> john sununu said that he did not doubt that powell's support for obama was based on anything but his policies. obama is suffering a deep drop in support from white

basically, it came down to "i am not dick cheney, i am not donald rumsfeld." but i think that the debate while the president w was more knowledgeable and more in control and command, he came across t to intents -- too intenstely and he did not get a break that he needed in the campaign. i think he won the debate, and the gallup poll, on independents, two-one, but i don't think he got the 18 needed. > -- i don't think that he got the age that he needed. >> he could, because while he did well in the second and third debate, nothing could overcome what he did in the fit debate. he let people down, he let himself down.

dick cheney abodid a nice job against edwards. for the most part people vote for the top of the ticket. in this case maybe vice president biden can change the conversation which would be a win for obama if he could do that. >> who has more to lose going into this tonight? oo evening paul ryan does even though he is inexperienced. it is a huge opportunity to introduce himself. he needs to hold his own. he needs to be seen as somebody who can step in for romney. there's a bit of a stature gap he needs to close that. >> that could also work in his favor as we saw when dick cheney and john edwards were together. let's take a look at a clip of that from viewers remind you have that. >> first time i ever met you was when you walked on the stage tonight. >> that gave a real distance between the two. you saw the generational gap there but also a gap in experience in a way. >> it was a bright move by dick cheney saying you are a new comer nobody knows who you are. vice president biden is saying there's a chance to say i know foreign policy

it basically came down to "i am not dick cheney, i am not donald rumsfeld." i do think that the debate, while the president was more knowledgeable and more in control and command, he came across too intensely and i don't think that he got to break through that he needed in the campaign. i think he won the debate, and among independents, two-one, but i know that he got it -- don't think that he got the edge -- >> it couldn't, because while he did well in the second and third debate, nothing could overcome the first debate. he let people down, he let himself down. >> roblin and colin powell -- public and colin powell in horses barack obama. >> you have to wonder if that is based on issues or if he has a slightly different reason to prefer president obama. >> what would that be? >> if you have somebody of your own race that you are proud of being president of the united states -- i applaud colin for standing with him. >> john sununu later saying that he has no doubt that colin powell's endorsement is based on anything other than policies. obama is steeply down w

vice-president, dick cheney. thank you for joining us. >> great to be on the show. >> sean: listen, i guess we have to start we know that joe biden los angeles a tendency to be very gaffe prone. i found this -- i don't know how to say it -- very, very disturbing, his behavior. it seemed uncontrollable. you know, i would describe it not only as rude but probably the most emotionally unstable debate performance in modern american politics. i don't think he could stop it. everybody knows there is going to be a split screen here. how do you interpret this? >> well, i was disturbed by it, frankly. i have got a pretty specific federal requirements i am interested in when i look at a prospective president. that's what the vice-president is, the ability to step in in a moment's notice and take over. you want somebody calm, cool, collected, who asks questions and seeks good informs and makes life-or-death decisions that we pay a president to take for all of us. i have worked for four president s and was closely involved w

. >> you've been hunting with dick cheney, haven't you? >> i did indeed. >> what was that like?u lived to tell the tale. >> dick cheney is a avery good wing shot. will >> humans or animals? >> ducks. >> you got into trouble over that. because they said there was a potential conflict in something you were presiding over. how carefully do you think -- before you accept an invitation to go hunting with dick cheney, how hard do you think about that as a potential conflict? >> well, in that cases, i had accepted the invitation long before the case that was the alleged source of the conflict was before the court. but -- and that was nothing. cheney was not personally the defendant. he was named because he was the head of the agencying that was the defendant. and justices have never recused themselves because they are friends with the named head of an agency. in fact, justices are friendly with a lot of heads of agencies and cabinet officers and whatnot. if we had to recuse ourselves every time one of our friends was named, even though his personal fortune was not at stake, we would no

dick cheney wasn't available?eney is available, he'll be fund-raising for mitt romney in dallas after the foreign policy debate. they have 24 named foreign policy advisers. 17 of the 24 are from the bush/cheney administration. you know, this guy who was attached by a three-foot-long invisible bungee cord to paul ryan? he is dan senor, paul ryan's top staffer on the romney/ryan campaign, also the george w. bush administration iraq war spokesman in baghdad. that is who is heading up the paul ryan part of the romney/ryan campaign. senor also sits on the board of directors as something called the foreign policy initiative. they've got four people on their board. one is dan senor. two of the other four people are special advisers to the romney campaign. these guys. and yesterday that group headed by the top staffer to paul ryan and two other romney/ryan advisers called for an american war in syria. you ready for another american war in the middle east? this is a presidential campaign that neither side wants to be about

that being the case dick cheney was put in charge of the counterterrorism task force right after the inauguration and to the best my knowledge that task force never met until september do i have that right there was a principals meeting. on september sixth of two thousand and one right so basically back was so dating is is that i'm trying to come up with a metaphor that i can say on television. throughout this this entire year of two thousand and one he's been charged with keeping the nation safe they've all been warned that this guy is coming the cia is virtually screaming at them the august sixth memo actually had a human being that a company to did it not who came out they all did all of it ok and bush like you know personal briefings yeah ok and and. and yet george w. bush took the longest vacation in the history of the presidency that august and then after that he still didn't want to go back to washington d.c. you want to florida where his brother locked down the state or state of emergency it's almost like he was afraid to go back to d.c. do you give any credit to that or cred
