dick cheney doesn't recognize the all on filey or his own folly at having somebody autograph a water boarding kit i mean come on is it that he's that demented maybe he's so infirm with old age or maybe maybe insanity is the new normal well richard is it is insanity the new normal let's look at the story of the whites have and i mean that course absolute outrage what's it say about society that a hoax and it was a hoax and later proved to be a hoax can get that kind of reaction what does have a society which is about people. well i'll tell you what is so has to me the fact is there are a lot of people in this country who because they have a waiter that either to them looks like he's arabic or muslim whatever that might be obvious that there are people look like me who are muslim but i mean the fact is there are plenty of people who would take offense at that and in fact zero out a tip that he could capitalize on that so to a certain extent he was perpetuating i mean he frankly should have profited from it but it would have been frankly legitimate for him to make a point like look. bec

bush and vice president dick cheney. new york university hosted the 90-minute program. >> i am the external affairs associate here at nyu washington, d.c. bradmus of the john center thanks for coming to tonight's event. this marks the first of many summer events in the young leaders' network series. the center seeks to create programs that would enrich the time students spend at their summer internships and in washington, d.c. we hope events like this will help interns like you build a network of relationships with mentors and peers. maybe encourage you to return to the nation's capital to start a career in public service after you graduate. tonight we are joined by former presidential speechwriters during the george w. bush and bill clinton administration. john p. mcconnell served more than 10 years on the white house staff in two administrations as a senior speechwriter for president george w. bush and vice president dick cheney john was part of a three-person team responsible for all of the president's major addresses

vice president dick cheney, good to have you. i suspect the first of more such moves. >> on one hand, and i don't think we have to find anything particular unusual about the largest economies in the world doing business together. that in itself isn't threatening to the united states. far more worrisome is when they start doing that with the explicit objective of trying to thwart american power and policies. neil: that was clearly the case. i didn't read it any other way, did you? >> those messages are beginning to be heard. the united states needs to take some heat. when your policies start pushing some of the most powerful countries on the planet, including several of your natural allies to make common

of the biden family which was very sweet m. >> host: let's talk about two vice presidents, first dick cheney. as you indicated earlier as vice president, cheney rather enjoyed his image as one of the most polarizing figures in recent american history. his relationship, you write, with george w. bush was all business. they were never especially close to begin with. regard to lyndon johnson, you wrote the following: when kennedy won the nomination, johnson sent him a telegram. remember those?hn [laughter] lbj now means let's back jack. johnson was not so subtly are signaling his interest as kennedy'san personal secretary would later write, it was almost as if romeo and julieted had gotten married. >> guest: i mean, the scene in the hotel during the convention where robert kennedy is trying to stop johnson from agreeing to be jfk's running mate is just incredibly brutal. because it went on, basically, for hours where rfk is shuttling up and down the stairs trying to convince johnson not to do this because they just hated each other so viscerally. >> host: but john kennedy wanted him. >> guest:

former national security advisor to vice president dick cheney, john hannah. always good to have you. on the iranian dust-up here, and, how the iranians are responding and still talking about closing down the strait of hormuz, of course a crucial oil tanker passageway that could send prices skyrocketing if they were to succeed in doing so where is this going? >> well it remains to be seen, neil. i do i this the president is clearly taking a book, a page out of his north korea playbook. in the case of kim jong-un i think he is convinced that his bellicose rhetoric, the economic pressure and the credible threat of force did succeed bringing north korea to the negativing table. and we'll have to see if that works with iran but no one should underestimate the risks because while we can hope that the iranians will roll over and

meddling in the way that osama bin laden meddled with the world trade center that was an attack dick cheney . fan of generally ira had said that what our actions did was an act leak was of war against united states so so again but i think we should segment that out i think i think what happened i'd say it's whether it's racial bias or you know in inequality in terms of incomes that's not because of anybody from russia doing that or are little holidays that we're creating ourselves you didn't let me down on the head i have parked i am my friend comparing osama bin ladden where the points are russians buying facebook ads which brought down the entire election now because your gal the other than mad fashion east lost a rigged election. but because the nefarious russians and the lead is this necessary as cabal did cram lang how to get in there with you there were times. well listen to me let me say yeah there was all you know yesterday that by fifty four to forty one percent americans across the board think that donald trump is not standing up for u.s. interests most people in the united states
