cheney dick cheney was a very aggressive vice president played a very strong role really expanded the powers of the vice president in the bush administration joe biden was kind of the voice of experience with barack obama was so young and inexperienced when it came to the levers of power in washington so i think we're going to see a lot of that as well with a bite administration. is going to play a very active role in policy and of course symbolically the united states is a very diverse country and getting more and more diverse so it is disheartening when we still see so much of the. control by. a person of. position to make her presidency. i think for america very heartening indeed we're seeing the stage there in front of the. united states to come right here this is the type of stage let's listen. ah . they are the lady of the city with all of the good evening of the bank you thank you good evening with us. a few good evening of the was so odd congressman john lewis congressman john lewis before his passing wrote democracy is not a state it is an act and what he meant was that ameri

cheney brent scowcroft and a whole generation of people who came before. i think it's an example of a president that was an outsider coming in to washington but he wanted to get things done. he doesn't have the organizational skills to run the white house they didn't understand washington. this is a guy who ran not just one but two campaigns as his chief of staff but ended up being a smart choice on his part. >> and susan what was that quality in jim baker that got him chosen for that job made him a success and went on to be the treasury secretary pulled off a big bipartisan tax plan which as we know we haven't seen anything of the likes of his sense that airing the reagan years but what was it about him that pulled it all together? >> well peter baker this is a question that everybody asked him. he would give this folksy twang and he'd say well you know my family has managed prior preparations with poor performance that we all know pretty well that washington is a city full of ambitious lawyers who do their homework and stay up late and certainly it's tru

cheney, brent scowcroft and people who came to the fore. in his case, it's an example of a president, that is ronald reagan, what made sense for him. he was ooh an outsider coming into washington and he wanted things done. he didn't pick ed meese, the organizational skills to run a white house and didn't understand washington. jim bakker. jim he was his chief of staff and ended up being a smart choice on his part what was it that made him successful. he ended up treasury secretary and pulled off a bipartisan tax plan which we haven't seen anything really the likes of it since, back during the reagan years. but what was it about him that, you know, pulled it altogether? >> well, jouddy, jim baker, he would say my family, poor performance, but we all know washington is a city full of ambitious lawyers who do their homework and stay up late and certainly it's true that jame baker was asiduous to the point of obsessive when it came to getting the job done and famous for staying in the white house at night, in the reagan white house until he ret

that happened back in the year 2000 and vice-president dick cheney was the deciding vote. they got a lot done. like 2000 voters are split over the white house. americans voted in record numbers in 2020. 79 million for joe biden and 73 million for donald trump. with he two form er senators. trent lott and tom daschle. you figured it out 20 years ago. i am thinking we might be far past that point. senator lott, a divided nation we stand. why not just accept it and work around that? >> well, first of all it's always a pleasure to be on with my good friend tom daschle. we have been through a lot of things together and worked through tough times. on the election there is a process, legal actions and investigation. at some point that will end. it looks like joe biden will be the president-elect. then the challenge will be how do you deal with congress? numbers are closer in the house. the senate it comes down to georgia. in the republicans win both seats it will be 52-48 majority for the republicans and mitch mcconnell will be the majority leader. if we lose it will be 50-50. th

cheney brent scowcroft and several people who came to the floor. an example of a president of what made sense to him. his outsider coming to washington by the one to get things done. he has the organizational skills. he would pick the guy who ran two campaigns against ms's chief of staff but it ends up being as you said a smart choice on his part. >> susan what was that quality and jim baker that got them chosen for that job and made him as successful as he was pretty one on to be treasury secretary and pulled out this big bipartisan tax plan which as we no, we haven't seen anything of the likes of it since the reagan years but what was it about him that pulled it all together? >> jim baker, this is the question everybody asks he will give you that folksy twang and he will tell you well you know my family -- has prevention for poor performance that we know pretty well that washington is full of ambitious lawyers who do their homework and stay up late and certainly it's true that jim baker was assiduous to the point when it came to getting the job d

dick cheney was the vice president. it makes a big difference who wins. democrat wins the two seats, chuck schumer would be the majority leader. the significance of that job is the majority leader gets to decide what the agenda is, what you are going to do, what you are not going to do. host: let's look at some of our social media followers and see what they are saying about the presidential election this morning. here is one text of came in that said we" need to prepare for the use of the 12th amendment. 's legal action is aimed at crating a contested -- making a contested election." hee is a tweet that says " will be known as a president election stolen from him." " each state has its own election process. florida started counting votes early." calling from james manhattan, kansas and supports joe biden. good morning. caller: this is actually mike from somerville. host: go ahead, mike. biden andvoted for harris. i wanted to call and then to talk about misinformation. upt last caller really set the subject pretty well, listening to him talk about the cor

cheney. we don't want to be in a world where america is like the most policeman or the world piggy bank and we got to be prepared to stand and fight against that, if in fact, that is how this goes. like i said there are still a few more shoes to drop to see if that is in fact the case but steve, we've also learned about how god is to catch after the fact. if there is a lesson here, we have to be far more aggressive as the ballads are coming in because the ballots have been separated from the envelopes and it's very difficult to do the ex post facto authentication work that would give people confidence in the outcome of the election and so i think we got to be more diligent great look, how is it that project veritas and the national polls and is relatively small organizations are turning out more evidence in the civil rights division of the united states to form and of justice? that is our failure. we did not get out there and do the work on the front and to ensure that we weren't in this posi

first rapper businessman shot four times -- more times than dick cheney's lawyer but after he endorsed trump his crazy ex-chelsea handler chose to publicly humiliate him for backing joe richie did or though he swore. this is what we call in layman's terms lying to get the tag out of your house before she rolls her. you know sitting alone in that booth on tuesday he will vote trump. trump offers the largest gdp jump in history. joe offers the largest tax increase in history and discounts on ovaltine. he ain't stupid. he was stupid for dating handler but he did it so we wouldn't have to so he will vote trump and so will a lot of people who also want the saying so. that's the real story. i.e. lying to escape the wrath. 50 cents lament is a microcosm for this is the first time in my life that you can't say who you are going to vote for unless it's joe but planted trump site in your front yard you know some medusa will on your front lawn. it's pure joy and the media encourages such attacks violence vandalism bows retribution. that's why you can't trust the polls. it's like asking children t

cheney made 20 years ago as the florida recount dragged into late november. watch this. >> there has been a tendency i think for many to believe that there is, quote, plenty of time before we begin to pay any kind of a price for the delay in certifying a winner in the florida election. that may be true if one looks only at the time table for the electoral college. but we will pay a heavy price for the delays in planning and assembly the next administration. >> incredible at the same time when you think about what happened just about nine months after that, you had september 11th attack, something that the commission found out to be problematic that the delay took place. joining us notice is congresswoman lisa blunt rochester who also was national co-chair of the biden campaign. thank you for joining us. let me pick up on that point that we just heard, because so far joe biden is not receiving the classified intelligence briefings. what do you believe is the biggest threat posed by the president not cooperating with the biden transition team today? >> well, fi

you had a young white house chief of staff named dick cheney, and he noticed the sky over at the commerce department -- noticed this guy over at the commerce department and he brought him into the campaign in 1976 that gets baker really going. the two of them were close during the ford days and worked together. even to this day, they are close friends in hunting and fishing together. int: let's hear from susan massachusetts, independent line. morning, to sunday be able to wake up and make a cup of coffee and see you both together talking about this amazing book. i have heard about it. i sister texted me last week about it. enough to have seen secretary baker's career serving various administrations and have inched his presidents washington, a dignified, gifted respondys was able to to a changing world and national events. what a juxtaposition to look at his life and contributions compared to what we are doing with what wish -- with what we are doing with the white house now. i hope your book becomes mandatory reading in the public schools, because it does teach about public service when i

cheney's chief of staff who was caught up in what was called the cia leak investigation. and then president trump offered libby a full pardon. so these are entirely consistent with what presidents do on the way out if president trump had won re-election, my guess is he would have let this flynn case continue in the courts. >> dana: let me ask you about. this when he leaves office on january 20th. >> dana: can i ask you about this judge sullivan has been sitting six months the justice department had reversed itself. it was asking for a dismissal. the flynn folks were asking for a dismissal and the judge was waiting and he tried to see if another court what they thought and it went back to him. he was sitting on this for so long that at this point, i mean now the case is moot. but, a full dismissal was on the table for michael film. >> absolutely. because we had learned about fbi -- the fbi's conduct in this whole case, very questionable they did not have a good reason to start this investigation. the justice department this year in may decided to just drop the case. we're

and i promise you that dick cheney will have more influence on joe biden's administration then bernie sanders will. and i think they're going to be upset. kennedy: why is that? >> because as witchel biden is and always has been pretty is an established democrat and has been for i believe posted 96 years. kennedy: is he a war hungry status? >> yes of course. his biggest regret was not supporting george h.w. bush war on iraq. and he enthusiastically supported george w. bush and of course to obama continued the wars in iraq and afghanistan, started wars in yemen, libya, not as witchel biden represents. joe biden is the truest thing he said in the campaign was i'm not some socialist. what are you talking about? he was never a trojan horse for specialists he is a trojan horse for the cia, big banks, big business, big tech and the cheney hanks. kennedy: that is not good. that is not a good conglomeration of photos that you just listed off there, dave smith. i do not disagree with them. now michael starr hopkins you have people in the democratic party who are actively lobbying against aoc's

dick cheney wants to hear osama bin laden working together but will torture a guy and he will give that information and he gets is war and that's exactly what happened. it's difficult for us to go to the white house and say well, we won't torture and use that information because they get the information they want and so now cooperation you get the truth. there's a difference between compliance and between cooperation. we don't have unlimited resources to change around the world because of the false information they were getting because of waterboarding but we wanted status and what you see in this book of how we are getting facts. now [inaudible] and some of the threats for example about the brooklyn bridge for example they were watching tv and watching the movie they showed how many infidels would die if we blow up that bridge and then suddenly were hearing on television less than 24 hours on cnn that we are watching al qaeda will low up the brooklyn bridge but that's a big gap between what we reported and what had been sold to the american public at the time so i think there's a big d

will that be a role that's active and powerful, a powerful force like dick cheney or an adviser like biden was or even a president in training? do you have any idea? >> well, you know, let me say this, i really do believe that it is going to be a very significant and powerful role. i mean, my goodness, president-elect biden is putting a woman in the position, and so that right there, i think, says quite a bit about where he wants this future to go. but let me say this, i think vice president-elect harris is going to be a strong governing partner. i've heard president-elect biden say that he wants his vice president to be the last person in the room when he has major decisions, and we've heard he has a very aggressive agenda moving forward. looking at covid-19 day one, calling the greatest minds and scientists and researchers together to get that under control. re-entering the paris accord agreement, which we should have never abandoned in the first place, you know, protecting our dreamers, dealing with immigration, banning the muslim ban, if you will, and so he has a very aggressive

>> what is interesting, if you look at dick cheney's background, he as one of the most extraordinary records of any man who ever ascended to the vice presidency. so, he is before vice president and after vice president is a very different narrative there is no doubt that he was one of the most influential vice presidents in history, particularly in the first term, but i also think you see the limits of the vice presidency by evaluating his second term as vp. >> great, well, thank you. >> thanks [applause] in september, the dwight d. eisenhower memorial was dedicated to the nation's 34th president, whose world war ii leadership and two-term presidency are remembered at a site just off the national mall and at the base of capitol hill. among those intend, it's memorial designer frank garry, former secretary of state condoleezza rice, family members david and susan eisenhower and eisenhower memorial commission chair sen. pat roberts.

dick cheney wants to hear saddam and the logic working together, fine. he gets his is one that's exacy what happened. so it was very difficult for us to go to white house and say well, torture produced that information because we cut information we wanted, right? so now cooperation, you get the truth. a difference between compliance and between cooperation. we don't have unlimited resources to chase ghosts around the world, like in some instances we did because of the fake and the false information they were getting. we wanted -- which is in his book and how we're getting facts, now what they did with these facts and some of the threats, for example, about the brooklyn bridge, for example, you know, they're watching tv and watch a movie that showed a guy stepping over bridge. they started joking, how many infidels would die if we blow up that bridge? suddenly weaving on television less than 24 hours on cnn, we were watching al-qaeda wants to blow up the brooklyn bridge. that's a big gap between what we reported and what had been sold to the american publ

john hannah, join us, former dick cheney national security advisor. john what do you think of the language that, around the tone that joe biden is sending especially to other world leaders right now? >> well particularly with our allies, traditional allies in europe and asia, neil, i think you know, this is manna from heaven. this is exactly what they have wanted to hear. there is no disputing that they have been quite upset and riled by donald trump's approach to national security and our traditional alliances and trade disputes and burden sharing and they're eager for this open embrace from an american president that they have missed for the last four years. neil: you know, john, a lot more attention being paid to iran and the deal that the president ripped up and how quickly joe biden will move to reinstate it. i know smart guys like you tell me that is lot easier said than done but what do you think of that aspect of it? the iran deal and whether we go back to what we had? >> well i think it is going to be deeply problematic on a number of fronts.

dick cheney helped republicans break ties, but he could call up bills for debate. democrats at equal status on committee. considering today's toxic atmosphere, it's hard to see how mitch mcconnell and chuck schumer could reach a power-sharing agreement in a deadlocked senate. shannon. >> shannon: chad pergram, thank you very much. so senator kamala harris sparking criticism for sharing a video her critics say supports straight up marxism. our panel, even berman, and charlie kirk may have something else to say. they are standing by, they are next come alive. ♪ don't understand why. because our way works great for us! but not for your clients. that's why we're a fiduciary, obligated to put clients first. so, what do you provide? cookie cutter portfolios? nope. we tailor portfolios to our client's needs. but you do sell investments that earn you high commissions, right? we don't have those. so, what's in it for you? our fees are structured so we do better when our clients do better. at fisher investments we're clearly different. with priceline, you can get up to 60%

and so, we were -- dick cheney said we can't wait to find out what the courts are going to rule. we have to assume that we are going to be the president-elect, so we opened up an office early before the votes were made official. and went up there and raised some private money. and established a transition office. and so went into -- after the courts ruled that we moved into government offices and we could expand our staff. but we were working hard. you can't wait until someone says, okay, it's ready to go. it's a lot of work that has to be done before noon on january 20th. you got to start early. and you got to work through hectic times. you're deluged with a lot of input, you have to manage it and be prepared to govern by the time the new president is sworn in. >> look, i remember this, because i was there. i was in austin and george w. bush announced his senior white house staff in the middle of the recount. george w. bush announced cabinet selections in the middle of the recount for a couple reasons. one, because you have to, you need to, to get the ball rolling. the other rea

>> dick cheney could pick up the phone and tell him the truth. i mean there's a lot of people that could tell him the truth. is he going to listen to the truth? that i don't know. i think chris is really hammering the right point that he's not used to this, so he's not handling it well. he should capitulate. guys, come on. look at the numbers. the numbers are there. he is losing by more than he beat secretary clinton. that's just facts. and she was a gentle person and conceded. >> and so this is the second part, and as much as it pains me, i think chris is right about his last point. this is the thing. more than just donald trump is what he's saying and what his behavior is having a terrible effect, i think, on the people who support him, on his base, because what they're having to deal with right now, sadly -- and i'm not saying this to be condescending -- is that it's almost like they're -- how do i say this because i really don't want to be insulting. it's as if -- >> he's the wrong messenger for their message. >> it's not even he's the wrong

vice president-elect dick cheney said on november 27, 2000, when there was an actual controversy in the states and in the courts over 500 or 600 votes in florida, for example, he said about the transition being delayed at all, quote, we'll pay a heavy price for the delays and planning and assembling of the next administration. mr. president, it's been a bitter campaign, a tough campaign. people still have very strong personal feelings about its outcomes. some people are euphoric and others are angry and sad. and i know that's natural in an election campaign. i feel that way about some of the races back in my home state. but there comes a moment where we have to look to the best interests of this country and the best interests of this country say we should move forward on the transition at this moment. i believe that president-elect joe biden will be sworn in on january 20 as our next president. the margins are so large they are not likely to be overturned by any recount. why delay the transition? why run the risk that we won't have a smooth, orderly and efficient passage from one admini
