I SAY PRESIDENT OBAMA, YOU SAY?
>> I SAY A PRESIDENT WHOSE
POLICIES ARE DOING LASTING
DAMAGE TO THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA.
>> Reporter: THE IRAN NUCLEAR
DEAL?
>> TERRIBLE DEAL.
DEFINITELY OUGHT TO BE REJECTED
BY THE CONGRESS.
>> Reporter: SHOULD GUANTANAMO
STAY OPEN?
>> YES.
>> Reporter: ANY REGRETS ABOUT
GOING INTO IRAQ?
>> NO.
>> Reporter: NO RI APOLOGIES?
>> NO APOLOGIES.
>> Reporter: CLASSIC DICK
CHENEY, ONCE AGAIN TAKING ON
PRESIDENT OBAMA.
THIS TIME WITH A NEW BOOK
CO-AUTHORED WITH HIS DAUGHTER,
LIZ, A FORMER DEPUTY ASSISTANT
SECRETARY OF STATE.
>> WE WROTE IT BECAUSE WE'RE
DEEPLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE FACT
THAT WE'RE IN A WORLD WHERE THE
THREATS TO THE UNITED STATES ARE
INCREASING.
CHINESE ARE ON THE MARCH IN
SOUTHEAST ASIA, RUSSIA ON THE
MARCH IN EUROPE, ISIS AND THE
CALIPHATE ESTABLISHED IN THE
MIDDLE EAST.
THE THREATS AGAINST THE UNITED
STATES ARE AS GREAT AS THEY WERE
AT THE END OF WORLD WAR II AND
THIS ADMINISTRATION HAS RAPIDLY
DIMINISHED OUR MILITARY'S
CAPACITY TO MEET THOSE THREATS.
>> Reporter: HOW MUCH DAMAGE DO
YOU THINK PRESIDENT OBAMA'S
DONE?
>> I THINK IT'S BEEN
DEVASTATING.
HE'S STRENGTHENED OUR ENEMIES
AND OUR AVDVERSARIADVERSARIES.
HE'S ABANDON OURD ALLIES.
HIS TENDENCY AND DETERMINATION
TO APOLOGIZE FOR THE NATION
CONSISTENTLY AND REPEATEDLY
AROUND THE WORLD HAS BEEN
DEVASTATING.
>> Reporter: RATE PRESIDENT
OBAMA FOR ME.
>> I THINK HE'S A MAN WITH A
WORLD VIEW THAT DOESN'T FIT
REALITY, THAT HE HAS A SET OF
BELIEFS, AN IDEOLOGY, IF YOU
WILL, THAT DOESN'T EQUIP HIM TO
DEAL WITH THE KINDS OF PROBLEMS
THAT WE'RE FACED WITH TODAY.
IN TERMS OF TRYING TO RANK HIM
AS A PRESIDENT, IT WOULD BE VERY
LOW ON THE LIST OF PRESIDENTS.
>> Reporter: YOU THINK HE'S THE
WORST PRESIDENT EVER?
>> WELL, CERTAINLY THE WORST IN
MY LIFETIME.
>> Reporter: ON PRESIDENT
OBAMA'S WATCH, WE GOT OSAMA BIN
LADEN.
HE'S USED THE DRONE PROGRAM
AGGRESSIVELY.
THERE HAVE BEEN NO MAJOR
9/11-STYLE ATTACKS ON AMERICAN
SOIL.
IS IT POSSIBLE THAT EVEN THOUGH
YOU DISAGREE WITH HIM THAT HIS
FOREIGN POLICY IS KEEPING
AMERICA SAFE?
>> ONE OF THE REASONS WE GOT
OSAMA BIN LADEN IS BECAUSE OF
THE ENHANCED INTERROGATION
PROGRAM THAT WE PUT IN PLACE AND
THAT HE CANCELED.
THE DRONE PROGRAM THAT HE'S USED
EFFECTIVELY WAS INVENTED BY
GEORGE W. BUSH.
>> Reporter: LIZ, IN THE BOOK
YOU WRITE THAT HE WANTS TO
DIMINISH AMERICA.
>> HE'S DONE EVERYTHING WITHIN
HIS POWER TO DIMINISH US.
HE SEEMS TO THINK, FOR EXAMPLE,
IF HE CUTS OUR NUCLEAR ARSENAL,
HE'S SAID THAT WILL HELP US HAVE
THE CREDIBILITY TO TELL THE
IRANIANS OR THE NORTH KOREANS
THAT THEY SHOULD LIMIT THEIR OWN
NUCLEAR AMBITIONS.
IT'S FANTASY, IT'S DANGEROUS AND
IT'S WRONG.
AND THE NEXT PRESIDENT IS GOING
TO HAVE A HECK OF A JOB DIGGING
US OUT OF THIS HOLE.
>> Reporter: YOU WRITE THAT
AMERICA IS AT A HINGE POINT IN
HISTORY AND IT'S VITAL VOTERS
CAREFULLY PICK THE NEXT
PRESIDENT.
I KNOW YOU'RE NOT ENDORSING
ANYONE.
BUT WHO DO YOU THINK IS THE BEST
PERSON TO TURN THINGS AROUND?
>> WELL, WE HAVE NOT ENDORSED
ANYBODY AND DON'T PLAN TO TODAY,
JAMIE.
>> Reporter: I HAVE TO TRY.
>> YOU HAVE TO.
IT'S A LEGITIMATE QUESTION.
BUT OUR CONCERN REALLY IS THE
POLICY, THE ISSUES, THE
IMPORTANCE OF HAVING NATIONAL
SECURITY FRONT AND CENTER IN
CONNECTION WITH THE CAMPAIGN.
>> Reporter: WHEN YOU LOOK AT
THE REPUBLICAN FIELD, ARE YOU
CONFIDENT THAT EVERYONE OUT
THERE COULD GET THE JOB DONE?
>> I WOULDN'T GO THAT FAR.
BUT I THINK IT'S A GOOD FIELD.
>> Reporter: YOU WANT TO TELL ME
WHO YOU WOULDN'T BE COMFORTABLE
SUPPORTING?
>> NO, I DON'T THINK I'LL DO
THAT.
>> Reporter: MR. CHENEY, YOU
WERE JEB BUSH'S FATHER'S
SECRETARY OF DEFENSE.
YOU WERE HIS BROTHER'S VICE
PRESIDENT.
SOME PEOPLE COULD WONDER WHY
IT'S JUST NOT NATURAL FOR YOU TO
ENDORSE JEB.
>> WELL, I WAS HAPPY TO SERVE IN
THOSE PRIOR ADMINISTRATIONS.
I'VE GOT GREAT RESPECT FOR BOTH
PRESIDENT BUSHS.
THEY GAVE ME GREAT OPPORTUNITY
AND I WAS HAPPY TO SERVE THEM.
I ALSO LIKE JEB.
HE'S A GOOD MAN.
HE WAS A GOOD GOVERNOR IN
FLORIDA.
I HAVE NOT ENDORSED HIM FOR
PRESIDENT.
I'LL WATCH WITH INTEREST HOW THE
CAMPAIGN DEVELOPS.
>> Reporter: SIX MONTHS AGO, HE
WAS THE PRESUMPTIVE
FRONT-RUNNER.
HE'S RAISED MORE THAN $100
MILLION.
WHY DO YOU THINK HE'S STRUGGLING
SO?
>> I CAN GIVE YOU THE SAME
ANSWER, JAMIE.
I'M NOT GOING TO GET INTO THE
BUSINESS OF RATING CANDIDATES OR
TRYING TO ANALYZE THEM OR TO DO
YOUR JOB OF ANALYZING HOW THE
CANDIDATES ARE DOING.
I'LL PASS.
>> Reporter: GET YOUR POPCORN
READY.
IT IS THE SUMMER OF DONALD
TRUMP, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF DONALD
TRUMP?
>> I DON'T KNOW THE MAN.
I'VE NEVER MET HIM.
>> Reporter: WATCHING THIS WHOLE
SPECTACLE, WHAT DO YOU THINK?
>> WELL, AGAIN, HE'S A CANDIDATE
AND I DON'T WANT TO BE IN THE
BUSINESS OF RATING CANDIDATES AT
THIS POINT, OF GRADING THEM.
I HAVE NOT SIGNED ON WITH
ANYBODY AND DON'T PLAN TO TODAY.
>> Reporter: YOU'RE NOT
ENDORSING DONALD TRUMP TODAY?
>> YOU CAN EVEN -- THAT'S A
GIVEN.
I'M NOT ENDORSING DONALD TRUMP
TODAY.
>> Reporter: WHY DO YOU THINK
HE'S DOING SO WELL IN THE POLLS?
>> I'VE BEEN SURPRISED THAT HE'S
DONE AS WELL AS HE HAS.
MOST OF US HAVE ON THE
REPUBLICAN SIDE.
BUT HE CLEARLY IS A MAJOR FACTOR
GOING FORWARD.
AND WE'LL WATCH DEVELOPMENTS
WITH INTEREST.
>> Reporter: LIZ, WHY DO YOU
THINK HE'S DOING SO WELL IN THE
POLLS, SINCE THE VICE PRESIDENT
IS PUNTING ON THIS QUESTION --
>> HOPING I'LL DIVE IN, RIGHT?
NO, I THINK THAT IT'S THIS
NOTION THAT PEOPLE ARE
FRUSTRATED WITH A PRESIDENT WHO
DOESN'T SEEM TO BELIEVE IN
AMERICAN GREATNESS, AMERICAN
EXCEPTIONALISM.
I THINK PEOPLE ARE FRUSTRATED
WITH WASHINGTON AND DONALD TRUMP
IS TAPPING INTO THAT.
THAT'S PART OF THE GENERAL
FRUSTRATION OUT THERE.
