and if you call vice president biden's predecessor dick cheney who first came to national attention assident ford's chief of staff, during his vice presidency many people said that they thought that the vice presidency had become too powerful and spoke of an imperial vice presidency. and although i think that vice president cheney's power was exaggerated in the sense that i think he never was president or he never was co-president, and that his influence declined during the second term of president bush's administration, he clearly was a very, very significant vice president. but it didn't start with biden and cheney. in fact, the last six vice presidents over the last 40 years, ever since walter mondale was vice president, have really performed significant positions within the executive branch. the change in the vice presidency is institutional, it is not personal. the vice presidency has now become one of our government's most important and contributing institutions in the executive branch. not simply as a first presidential successor, but as a critical instrument of the presidency o

vice president rockefeller became convinced the chiefs of staff, donald rumsfeld and dick cheney, orout to get him when the vice presidents residents was opened. vice president rockefeller had a series of parties to introduce people to the new vice presidents residents, and supposedly, everyone in town was invited to one of those parties except for the chief of staff, dick cheney. the other problem the ford administration had was that vice president rockefeller wasn't there for the first four months of the ford administration. he was undergoing confirmation proceedings before the house and senate, so he wasn't able to participate in the early stages of the administration. by the time he got into the administration, relationships had been formed and it was too late. the change in the vice presidency really came with jimmy carter and walter mondale in 1977. this was the creation of what i call the white house vice presidency. governor carter thought himself as a dignitary for the american people. he was a small businessman who thought the vice presidency was a wasted asset. it was a sh

other books, for example, dick cheney's memoir which i called, i ain't sorry for nothing, because he really was unapostle unapologetic but the bush administration. there were other books but all the great recession and i think one of this most fascinating one was by michael lewis and that was called the big short and it is quite good. there's so much great -- including the 9/11 commission report which was well-written. >> peeking of michael lewis, carlos, later the -- one of your top 12 books. >> yes. i'm a big fan of his work ever since fliers poker, and the fifth risk, came with a lot less hoopla than most michael lewis books, which you know that they're coming and everything. this one just arrived for me and i didn't know it was coming, and it's just a -- to me one of the most useful books of the last five years, and that -- especially it was written before the pandemic but before the pandemic it was merely sort of prescient. now it just feels prophetic because it locks at what happens to the work office government when its expertise is consistently undermine and devalued. and how

if you cover the bush administration, you remember the animosity journalists had against dick cheneyshe is in rhetorical war with donald trump. getting strange new respect from the press. house republicans with strong backing from trump plan to dump cheney from her

i can remember him i did to debate with him in jackson wyoming, when dick cheney had his debates.with him. he was here as you're, right a principle conservative, conservative country club mainstream conservative. what rob portman it is, i think, is a full recognition of what the republican party has become. if you think about what happened in 2016, i think donald trump recognized where the republican party had become, long before all of the other republican politicians. which is why i thought early on, he would be the republican nominee, because he knew the republican party, and who they were, and what drove them, and what motivated them more than any other of the other candidates. that's why i think you will see, the candidates that run in 2016 and people like rob portman, have become more of what donald trump. as you see it from chris christie, you see it from marco rubio, you see it from nikki haley, you see it from rob portman. so, i think, it is not because donald trump caused the party to change, it was donald trump was the result of what the republican party has become. it

party of conspiracy theorists, and liz cheney is like a relic of the old george w bush years, and dick cheney, and people like bill crystal, and elliot abrams. the conservatives are gone. it's not about your voting record. it's about allegiance and loyalty to donald trump. so the battle in the country is democracy versus authoritarianism now. >> if they stand for anything, look, there are insurrectionists who believe the election was stolen by people of color in large urban areas. jewish space lasers, lies on top of lies. no real policies, just appearing on fox news and other conservative sites. is there a backbone to the republican party? do they believe in anything except for selfishness? >> i think they believe in donald trump. it really is -- he's the -- considered the savior. >> so they believe in nothing. >> they believe in nothing. just -- we see it, don, and dictatorships around the world, we just didn't see it here. we had the demagogues. huh a louis long in louisiana. and joe mccarthy was a senator, not a u.s. president. but trump, i thought would be a deflated figure at best. janua

he warns that outranking liz cheney, the daughter of former vice president dick cheney, could further antagonize suburban voters, particularly college-educated women who picked the party because of her opposition to former president trump. a text was sent to say "absolutely not. representative cheney is onto the rule of facts, hatred in politics is going to expose those unwilling to accept truth. we must protect the border, the economy, free speech and self-governance. trump should be minimized as leader of the party." in mount pleasant, pennsylvania, what do you say about this? what do you tell your fellow republicans in the house today? caller: ok, i support the removal of liz cheney for elise stefanik. i feel elise stefanik will recruit more congresswomen and also more republican women because she has a lot of favorability, and you cannot move forward without changes. it is bigger than donald trump. [laughter] host: well, what do you think? i mean, why not have a voice within the republican party who represents the people that feel the same way as liz cheney? she has a conservative

the daughter of former member of the house leadership himself dick cheney and then a member of the cabinetr to now be on the outside of the republican tent is quite an extraordinary thing to see. >> susan, you mentioned the media tour that she is on. how much of that do you think is a calculation for her about 2024 and a potential run for the white house? >> this republican party would not be a friendly place for nominating liz cheney for president. the arc of politics can be pretty long. something that seems impossible today may seem more than possible in a decade. but this is trump's republican party. president trump, former president trump is defining the 2024 presidential election. we don't yet know if he is actually going to make a bid to run again but he says he might and that has sort of frozen everyone else in place. i think liz cheney's immediate issue is can she survive a republican primary in wyoming, a very, very red state next year. if she does, then she will continue to have this platform to make the case for the party to go in a different direction. >> a very good point. and

i remember -- i did debate pref in jackson hole, wyoming, when dick cheney had debates, and he was islub conservative. i think what rob portman is, is a full recognition of what the republican party has become. if you look at 2016, i think donald trump recognized what the republican party had become long before any other politician. which is why i thought early on he would be the republican nominee. he knew the republican party and what drove them more than any other candidate. that is why you will see the candidates that ran in 2016 and people like rob portman have become more of what donald trump is. you see it from chris christie. you see it from rob port mand. i think it's not because donald trump caused the party to change. donald trump was a result of what the republican party has become. it is now a wholesale cultural grievance of white supremacist party. yeah, they don'tn't the truth to come out. i think they think republicans will be accountable. but it's more than that. it is a fuel reflection of who the republican base is. the republican base believes this election was stol

. >> reporter: cheney is the daughter of former president donald trump dick cheney. republicans including trump are backing new york congresswoman elise stefanik to replace cheney in her republican role. club for growth tweeting house republicans should find a conservative to win back messaging and the house majority. trump voted for the house agenda more than 90% of the time, more more than stefanik but stefan anything back in january voted in favor of overturning joe biden's election victory. faith abubey, abc news, washington. >>> hall that belonged to the first same sex couple to legally marry in san francisco will become a landmark. the home was purchased in 1955 and became the de facto headquarters for their lesbian rights organization. now historians will have to work out any plans for the house with the homeowner. now to the popular kids at school. a new study shows that birthdays may have something to do with it. researchers stay popular kids are more likely to be born at the start of the year, including september, october and november, which makes them olde

listen to this now ironic 2009 interview with former gop dick cheney choosing rush limbaugh over colin powell. >> if i had to choose in terms of being a republican is rush limbaugh. my take is colin powell is no longer republican. he left the party. >> republican leaders like eric cantor tried to harness their power, but each he fell to a tee party value. the lesson was clear. play to the base and you'll win your primary and tons of cash. speak up and you'll be attacked from the right and lose your otherwise safe seat. check this out. back in 1994, the gop was basically 60/40 split between conservatives and moderates. as of 2020, only 24% was considered moderate. trump did play the slash and burn, divide and conquer game and proved confidence with the base. d dissenters got purged. you can't reason with a mob as v.p. mike pence learned the hard way when he had to flee pro-trump rioters. now the mask is off. this isn't about it ol' jichlt it's about fear-fueled conformity in the face of bigoted bullies. and the rationality of republicans staying quiet for self-interests will end badly f

conservative, but they all have that pragmatic streak, right, whether it's an alan simpson or a dick cheneyis. there is this tension that you've got to bring stuff back to the state. so i guess i'm curious. how would you divide the party up as voters? is it half and half, is it the warriors versus the pragmatist? >> there are a number of different risks that have taken place in the state and counties' infrastructure. right now the city leadership is very pro trump. actually, the state chairman recently got an endorsement in his re-election both by president trump, which shows that there is a little bit of interest here, and that's kind of been a dividing line here as well. but when we're talking about what republicans stand for, you're absolutely right, they have to be pragmatic. if you look at senator john barasso, he's a very important part of the senate republican machinery, but there was also the luger center who looked at the ratings of different politicians' ability to work across the aisle. senator barasso scored 47th on that network as part of that conference. mitt romney, who a cou

his last name is bush and dick cheney was the vice president with his uncle. eel good. i think it's a terrible, terrible look and it's also inaccurate. to say that liz cheney does not represent republican conservative ideology is hugely inaccurate. in fact, she is far more conservative than the person who they are hoping will replace her, elise stefanik. >> i should note that george p. bush refers to biden as biden, but calls trump the president which is a strange way to look at the world. thank you so much. i appreciate it. in our world lead today, the fight between israel and hamas. not slowing down. only heating up. the u.n. says it can become a full scale war and over 100 people have been killed by israel's targeted air strikes. including 27 children. casualties have been reported by israel as well according to "the times" of israel, a 5-year-old boy was killed. and the violence has unfortunately spread throughout arab and jewish towns across israel that have peacefully coexisted for decades. five major airlines have canceled flights and jerusalem is where

dick cheney and i didn't always agree on issues, but i had no question whatsoever about his love and devotion for the rule of law and his love for america. and i feel the same way about liz cheney. and, again, it's disappointing to see what's going on in the caucus. but, again, for my -- from my perspective, the two main points we should not lose sight of is what happened on january 6th. that was prompted, encouraged by the fact that people are going around, including donald trump, saying that the election was fraudulently -- was stolen and that there's just no evidence that that, in fact, happened. >> it's interesting you bring this up because there's this audit going on in arizona. this is a partisan-led aubd it's by republicans by this private firm out of florida, one of the things -- we learned one of of the things they're looking for on this ballot. i want to play this and get your reaction. >> there's accusations that 40,000 ballots were flown in. >> into arizona? >> in arizona. and it was stuffed into the box. and it came from the southeast part of the world, asia, okay, and w
