>> no, because what i'm doing is no different than what fdr. fdr's solution for germans, italians, japanese, you know, many -- >> so you're for internment camps? >> this is a president who was highly respected by all. he did the same thing. if you look at what he was doing, it was far worse. i mean, he was talking about the germ germans, because we're at war. we are now at war. >> during world war ii, the u.s. imprisoned more than 100,000 people of japanese ancestry in internment camps. it's not the only time we've seen people persecuted based on nationality or faith. when john f. kennedy ran for president, he was criticized for his catholic faith. an attack he faced head-on when delivering one of his most famous speeches to a group of protestant ministers in texas in 1960. >> i believe in an america where the separation of church and state is absolute and where religious liberty is so indivisible that an act against one church is treated as an act against all. for while this year it may be a catholic against whom the finger of suspicion is poi

for people like fdr and world war ii and then into the cold war through ronald reagan. above barack obama was clear outside. in my opinion to be fundamentally discreet was not of the accord of our history and policy over that period of time. could partly that is what stimulated but if you look at the book and go through to document carefully where we believe that have not been done via earlier presidents of presidential leadership of how big a role the u.s. ought to play with the policies over the last 67 years now end but we have to do go forward. >> in 1983 president reagan gave a speech from the oval office and he talked about defense spending. and explained it is critically important to decide the threats and then allocate the resources in this set of recommendations we have it is an issue we have heard some of the candidates talk about what those that didn't have enough attention to which we have made a real change. >> i am often times asked the vice president secretary of defense all of them had something. but my favorite job especially during desert storm was a h
