day on npr that september the 10th, 2001, one day before 9/11, donald rumsfeld said there was money missing from the budget of the pentagon, this is back one day before. next day 9/11 happened and knocked that story right off the headlines. i'm wonder if you guys in congress have ever discovered where that money is and i understand since then there's been even more money missing. we're spending enormous amounts of money on a defense budget. i understand we spend more than the next eight countries combined, including russia and cline. >> well, you certainly raise a critical issue one that's been plaguing the pentagon and military for decades, really and that is there has yet to be a full audit of where the money is spent on a yearly basis by the military. it's over $700 billion. almost three quarters of a trillion dollars annually for the department of defense. about 50 or 60 of that goes to support the wars in afghanistan where we hatch spent over a trillion dollars on those wars. >> they tried to do that audit recently and failed in that audit. what's it going to take for the pentagon to p

( laughter ) you never know. >> stephen: i have met him twice? >> you have. >> stephen: i interviewed him? >> really. >> stephen: exactly. >> i don't think-- well, i did not meet him prior to this. >> stephen: difficult person to interview. >> i would imagine. >> stephen: now that you played him, he's sort of thought of as a dark and slippery character. what's your view of him? he's an important historical figure. >> i think the dark and slippery is behind the scenes. what i picked up watching his press conferences, he seems very affable and approachable and kind of homespun. he had a smile to him and a-- a-- i don't know. sort of a boyish, like "let's sit on the front porch and whittle and have some fun." and he was a jokester. but when you find out both-- both nixon and kissinger said, "you gotta be-- you gotta be aware of that guy. that guy is terrifying." i mean, for them to say that about him says a lot about what was going on behind closed doors. >> stephen: yea

and to believe in the theory that donald rumsfeld chief of staff one of the reasons he thought it was good for bush to take the job and then with rumsfeld competitors and with the added bonus for rumsfeld. . >> old enough to remember there was the washington wire in the "wall street journal" that predicted that george bush and donald rumsfeld would run for president so when did he start thinking about that? . >> george bush was so popular in charismatic his entire life that people would often say you should run for president. i think he began to seriously consider in the seventies the first documented case i found that he wanted to be president was in china he would come back in 76 or 80 but also that realistic proposition maybe you're not the inside candidate but you could come from the outside. cspan: when did he first run? . >> 1980. going back to cia-- when carter wins bush asks if he could stay on so he's days on for the next three years and goes back to houston but most of the time is on the road and 1980 he runs against ronald reagan ultimately the best first challenge that he

i heard theressman, report the other day on npr that september 10, 2001, one day before 9/11, donald rumsfeld made a speech about the waste and fraud in the pentagon, --ing there was $2.3 billion two point $3 trillion missing from the budget of the paragon. the next day 9/11 happened and knocked that story right off the headlines. i wonder if you guys in congress have ever discovered where that money is? amountspending enormous of money on our defense budget. we spend more than the next eight countries combined, including russia and china. raised au certainly critical issue, one that has been plaguing the pentagon and military for decades, really. that is there has yet to be a full audit of where the money is spent on a yearly basis by the military. almostver $700 billion, three quarters of the trillion dollars on the department of defense. in iraq and afghanistan, we have $1 trillion on these wars. host: they tried to do that audit recently and failed. what will it take for the pentagon to pass an audit? guest: it will take congress continuing to hammer them. the of the republicans credit in

so at this point i think a lot of this goes back to what donald rumsfeld back during the bush administration, there are no knowns and no unknowns, and at this point people inside the white house recognize they just don't know what robert mueller is going to the and they can base what they think going to happen at this point on what they understand to be the case. but obviously robert mueller is not really finished with his investigation at this point. but it is important to know i did talk to a source who expressed to advisers that he does think impeachment is a real possibility. he just doesn't know if it's certain at this point. >> is that a protester drum somewhere in the distance i'm hearing? >> it is. there is music being played out on pennsylvania avenue. don't see any smock or smoke as some might call it over here. >> i just want to make sure the drum isn't being played in the white house. jim acosta, thank you so much. >>> the question is what democrats in congress do with these allegations. >> they would be impeachable offenses whether they are important enough to justify an impeach

bush administration, you also got donald rumsfeld, his old ally and somebody who was not necessarily an ally of george w. bush. >> bhuabsolutely. the past was not prologue when it came to that. rumsfeld and george h.w. bush were young rivals in the washington of nixon and ford. it's sort of a shakespearean rivalry. george w. bush was always very determined throughout his son's both governorship and presidency, he took pains to point out these were different eras, they were different men. it's impossible to understand george w. bush without understanding texas politics. it's impossible to understand george h.w. bush without understanding how much the political center of the country moved from new england to the sunbelt in the 20th century. the family story writ large is in many ways the story of american politics prior to 2016. my sense of -- i spend a lot of time talking to him about it through the years. president bush really did look on his son's presidency in the way that dad would as opposed to the way a former president might. that's hard for people to get their heads around. the

i would say more so than any secretary of defense that i've ever covered since donald rumsfeld.re are more than 5,000 u.s. troops serving there now, and, you know, despite the fact we don't hear as much about iraq since mosul was cleared out of isis, it is still actually a dangerous location. i mean, there are u.s. troops there, and they are serving in a lot of cases in dangerous situations. for instance, just a couple of days ago, we heard about an air strike that the u.s. took on an isis cave, killing a number of isis fighters. so the country is certainly not clear of the isis presence, but the central government has taken, you know, the iraqi counter terror service forces and iraqi military and police have really taken back control of the majority of the country. the problem is, there still is that underground isis presence. and it's really what a lot of people are concerned about happening in syria, as well. that as isis is fought and as they fall in many places, they're really just going underground to reemerge one day when they have the opportunity. so, you know, president

staffn joined -- join the of donald rumsfeld who is the director of the office of economic opportunity. his position in the white house included white house staff assistant, assistant director of the cost of living council, deputy assistant to the president and white house chief of staff. in the post-watergate administration of gerald ford, the president turned to 34-year-old dick cheney to lead the white house staff in the work of restoring the nation's confidence and waging the presidents 1976 campaign. after leaving the white house vice president cheney returned to his home state of wyoming where he served in the house of representatives. reelected to office five times, he held several leadership positions and was chosen by his colleagues at the house minority with the number two position in house minority leadership. he was elected as the chairman of the republican policy committee from 1981 to 1987. in 1989 george herbert walker bush nominated cheney to become the u.s. secretary of defense. after unanimous approval in the senate, he then led a american forces to victory in operati

decades covering the family, and the ther, you know, constantly worried that dick cheney and donald rumsfeldading w.positive astray on the iraq w, and the neocons were leang him astray, and i think w. did not want to seek his father's advictor hear wha he had to say about the invasion of iraq. and then it tooyears andars before he came around and realized his father was right and distanced himself from but by that time, it was too late. it was the worst mistake in icy.ican foreign pol so, you know, to see all that emotion, you just wish that, you know, they had been more mentor and protegeg dure time they needed it. >> woodruff: a lot of complex strands run thriewg tha a relationsh his relationship with others in hisi . margaret warner, you also covered him as a candidate. you've covered-- you've known the bush family. did they capre the complexity i george bush. today. hink it's very hard to capture the full complexity. i mean, thees anecdere wonderful. i think what, perhaps, didn't come through is he was also maa of great ambition. i he was very humble. i reported a long s covtory for "new

bush fired donald rumsfeld because, and this may be the most germane piece of history, he was nervousut rumsfeld having to go before the democratic house and senate and defend the very unpopular iraq war. so he got him out of there. >> brendan, i'll turn to you and mark the departure of ryan zinke, we make fun of the horse and tonto and the nine guards who had to ride with him. i'll continue to make fun of that. but in that piece in "the washington post" about his arrival this day is this line. within hours of his arrival, he signed two secretarial orders, including one that overturned the fish and wildlife guidance on national wildfire refugees. it began immediately. there was a plan in place. and yes, we can laugh about some facets of him as a personality, but he did accomplish a lot for what he and his backers wanted. >> i think we saw this with scott pruitt, as well. i think there are two things that come together when a republican administration comes in. they do believe that government is bad at things. and so they want the government to stop doing things. but paired with that i

the width and height of 30, the bright idea is all the secretaries except for colin powell and donald rumsfeld had to go out to a site in west virginia it's down 175 feet with a huge city and they didn't know what was happening. they had helicopters. i had all these things to do. i was ordered to go with the vice president. it came in at 12:20 and had federal security to arrest me and my chief of staff and my deputy secretary thought that it would be great for me to get out so he was pushing and said it f wouldn't look good on this day tofo have you arrested. my own security came in and said you can't do it. i says to my one good friend mike, i said if i have to go you get the car and find the backdoor to camp whether. i'm going to walk in and walk out and you get me back here right away. she said okay mr. secretary. so everyone's mad at me because they've been waiting since 12:00. i get on the helicopter ten till one. we get there about quarter to two and the drivers of the check and -- dormitories, everything down there and every one of the departments as places for an office and so on so th

. >> donald rumsfeld famously talked about the snapshot through a straw, and that's what the media does now on a daily, minute by minute basis and you have context. >> i think presidential libraries and presidential sites, too, could do more programs or exhibits about the relationship between the press and the presidency, because it is an important one. the public is aware of it. they don't think about it in too many terms of how it's supposed to operate. maybe we don't get enough of it in the schools, of that kind of discussion. and that kind of examination. it needs to be done. because it is sort of like the foundation of our democracy, that the relationship between the public, and the public officials is conducted through the press. and the media. and so it is fundamental for people. i don't know what they're doing in the high schools these days. i don't know, they could be doing a lot more, i think that all educational institutions can be doing a lot more in talking about the relationship, especially in these times when the relationship has become so controversial. >> one of the int

he wanted jim baker at that period when donald rumsfeld left.re was never a moment and president bush used to talk about this. they never sat around and talked about at walker's point and the old man said this is what you have to do about medicare. the family dynamic was different. >> let me bring in, what is the political dynasty, if you will. is it something they talked about as a family or unfold on ow

son's business, make it clear that he didn't like some of his top lieutenants, including i guess donald rumsfeldt? >> i think that's what you hear on the outside and i think it's absolutely what the reality was. i mean, this-- and george w. bush talks about that a lot openly and repeatly that this was a relationship of love between a father and a son, and of course, he knew he always would have his father's moral support, to buck him up, and to offer, maybe guidance, but not always advice. i mean, i think the president, george h.w. bush knew what it was like himself to be in the oval office so to that extent he knows the moral support that a president would need, but he knows that his son was up to the task of the job, too. neil: you know, you think about it, too, i mean, we talk about this as a second father-son team we've had in the white house, but with john adams and john quincy adams, there was a quarter of a century and here it's eight years. i wonder how it went down and whether they were trading stories or ideas, particularly after 9/11? >> well, i think, you know, and the point you made

his son's administration about the war and particular issues with vice president cheney and donald r rumsfeldd of his. is that right? >> the gulf war 1991, iraq war 2003, president george h.w. bush built up this 500,000-person coalition of over 60 countries. president bush and secretary james baker conducted operation tin cup and went around the world to the saudis, japanese and germans and said you need to pay for the war. and they did. but the mandate of the united nations was to eject saddam from kuwait. it was not to go into baghdad, occupy iraq or dismember iraq. so when that fateful decision that president h.w. bush had to make, the road to baghdad was open, he said i'm not going to go down that road because he didn't have the mandate to do that from that big coalition. and i think the politics, the international politics was very different 12 years later. >> and, doug, put into context what we're going to see this week. the dysfunction between the bush family and trump family, president trump. he will be there. we saw the bond between president h.w. bush and bill clinton even though th
