bush and don rumsfeld. interesting in the context of jeb's campaign although this is on his list of many problems, this at the moment isn't at the top, but there was a lot of talk when he installed some of his brother's foreign policy and national security defense people on his campaign advisory team, what did that mean for what foreign policy would look like under him, how much would he differentiate from his brother. that will come up again if jeb bush starts to look a little bit more relevant in the presidential race. i still am not totally sure he's got a good answer on sort of what's it like to have the last name bush, what does it mean -- what do you mean as you relate to your father and your brother and their policies. >> in fact, you bring up donald rumsfeld in the book, in john meacham's book, bush 41, george herbert walker bush is quoted as saying quote, arrogant fellow, i think he served the president badly. we have just gotten an exclusive response from don rumsfeld writing to us, bush 41 is get

is that response by rumsfeld?resident bush, 41, made these comments in a series of interviews that began in 2008. he continued to reiterate the points as late as 2012. i've rethought my position and if you want to make any clarification and make a note of that, that's what i said. vice president cheney saw these remarks and response in my book. secretary rumsfeld saw what was said to me. the criticism president bush saw all of this and responds in the pook. there are no surprises to any of the principles in this. president bush knew exactly what he was saying. i think part of what's going on is a lot of people expected he thought these things but he maintained his silence for so long. so the question becomes why would he have taken this moment to talk about it. my own view is as the son's administration's view was moving into history, bush, had 1 who does have a deep history of getting things right, he had a tape recorded diary which i draw on. he cares about history. i think he wanted to make the point that his s

what are your thoughts now on the public criticism of dick cheney and donald rumsfeld? >> well, there's no doubt that the elder bush did not think we should go into iraq, but obviously he didn't want to tell his son directly. in fact, in the book he basically says, you know, he made his own decisions because brent skoal kroft, who was the bush sr.'s national security adviser wrote an op-ed in the "wall street journal" about six months before the war saying it was a big mistake. the fact is he wouldn't have done that without checking with the elder. i think that the elder bush had recommended cheney as vice president because he was very happy with him when he was his secretary of defense. but then he saw the way he was acting, and i think he believed quite correctly he had too much influence on his son and, of course, rumsfeld, who he had worked with going back to the administration of richard nixon, he never did think much of him. basically he thought he was just -- i won't use the term he used in the book, but just too hard over on the issues about using force. >> do y

bush didn't want getting near that administration was donald rumsfeld.rumsfeld thanks to his close friendship with dick cheney did get into the administration. but the bigger thing in terms of the significance for 2016 is this couldn't come at a worse possible time for jeb bush. jeb bush is trying to reset his candidacy and tell people why he isn't just relevant to 2016 and beyond, but why he is essential to 2016 and beyond, yet he is being dragged into a debate about the legacy of his brother's administration, his brother's administration which we all know ended with such controversy, with such low poll numbers. the iraq war that remains a very complicated legacy and what this book, what these quotes, what this back and forth does is it brings that issue back and reminds people jeb bush is trying to get away from the taint of the family name to the extent there is some. this makes that even harder. >> so let's talk about that. we will show everybody the latest national poll. it does come from fox news. we have bush coming in at 4%. as steve brings up, i
