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

. >> in the fall of 2002 dick cheney said saddam hussein had nuclear weapons.ough the cia never told him that. the question is, is donald trump right when he said they lied? >> well, you know, i -- what mike hayden and others have said, it was intelligence failure. i don't know -- >> but they never said they had nuclear weapons. how could it be a failure? >> well, they led people -- >> well, not with evidence. not with evidence. you didn't have evidence that they had nuclear weapons, did you? >> let me speak for myself -- >> you had no evidence that they had nuclear weapons the because the program had not been completed. >> i believed george w. bush when he said we're going to let the inspectors finish the job. this vote will give me the leverage, he claimed, to make sure that happens. read hans blix's book. >> what about w.? >> well, i thought that using diplomacy, which is what it seemed to me he was offering, made a lot of sense. >> did he seem the diplomatic type, w.? >> he seemed to be someone who in my opinion at least rhetorically, that speech he gave in

dick cheney's giving a speech. they go wild when president bush comes in, and there's all these -- like 400 young men, young american men with really long beards. so you can imagine that this is not the typical american guy look. and the president speaks to them from the heart, no notes, and they will not stop applauding. even he's asking them to sit down, and i thought that's one order they do not have to obey. but he wanted to take pictures with everybody, so i went to the back of the room, and these two seals came up to me and said, excuse me, are you the press secretary? i was oklahomaed that they knew -- honored that they flew who i was. yes. can we get our picture taken with you? wow, sure. they're awe-inspiring to be around, navy seals. so i just asked -- i wanted to make some small talk, so i said to the first one, what makes you want to be a navy seal? family tradition? sense of adventure? chance to travel? and the first seal said to me, oh, no, ma'am. chicks dig it. [laughter] and i said even with the bea

trump is like dick cheney in the following way.hen the press and deletes demand he say something in a certain way, he does not want to do it. where while he has said the words i denounce, it is members of thest society would use to denounce such a group and such a person. john: donald trump seems to have a problem with it. mark: some people seem to be making peace, other republicans continue to say, no way, know-how, no-trump. they have all now said they would not vote for trump even if republican nominee. john, are these republicans saying that out of pure principle or do they have another motive. is anyone out there if they took this posture, would have an impact on the race? john: i think in most cases, it is a matter of principle. he is with marco rubio. he would never vote for donald trump. john, are these republicans saying that out of pure principle or do they have another motive. i feel fine talking about this. things hetoo many espouses that i fundamentally do not believe in. that is driving most of these people. they have

bush, president carter, and vice president dick cheney, president and mrs. clinton. i finished my remarks, walked about, sat beside meredith and said to me, you did not mention nancy. i said, she is not here. she said, yes, she is, she is hidden behind the column. i had not seen her, so i'm eagerly called ever speech will friend stu spencer who answered by saying, what were you thinking, brokaw? stu, do you think she noticed? [laughter] are you kidding? here is her mobile number. call her right now, which i did. i took my medicine from an aggrieved friend for the next 15 minutes, until she accepted my explanation, and then it was back to square one again, and the way i got out of it was, she had been given a terrible seat, i agreed. what i so admired about nancy was that ability to do just that. she knew how to protect her husband and her president, but also her own place, to stand her ground, and once it had been resolved and move on. that was never more evident on the many occasions when i spoke here at the library. we meet in a holding room downstairs to catch up

then came george w bush, dick cheney, and the presidency captured by the neoconservatives. in a flash israel became a strategic ally. as prime minister, from israel's invasion and then invasion we had to haul their asses out of. this became a man of piece. and all of the fears loomed so largely that some of us sucked in our breath and found it hard to exhale thereafter. we have been trying with little avail to restore that precarious balance maintained since world war ii. and so today, where are we? today i was us policy -- head bashing. in a hearing before the senate armed services committee petronius said that the israeli-palestinian conflict ferments anti- american sentiment in the region, and it makes military operations that much more difficult. these remarks came amidst a dispute over housing units in jerusalem. a legal under international law and destabilizing. i can tell you, the military councils of which i have been part, this sentiment was often voiced and at times and far more dramatic terms. on my old mentor and boss used to talk about issues we rarely if ever

>> it came from former vice president dick cheney. he went on the air himself shortly after 9/11 and said, you know, in order to win this war on terror, we need to play on the dark side. it was unclear what he was talking about at that point, but the book explained what that title, what that term was talking about. >> host: did you ever meet vice president cheney or interview him? >> guest: you know, i have certainly met vice president cheney and had a chance to talk to them. he did not give me the interview for the book. for a little while i had the church of the interview request on my bulletin board. i said could you talk to me anytime in the next two years? the answer came back from an assistant is an unfortunate vice president cheney will be very busy during the next two years. that was kind of a blanket no. but i have had a chance to see him since. we actually were in a brief room at one point going on abc together and it is just the two of us having our makeup put on. it was great to have a chance to talk to him. he commented o
