i think like many republicans, he is shocked this is the summer of donald trump. i don t think he thinks he s going to be the nominee. on the other hand, dick cheney is very disciplined. he is not going to get into the donald trump discussion. he just does not want to go there. is there anyone you think he might endorse? he says that there are a number of people in the field. i think it s interesting that he is not with jeb bush. if i had to guess, i think the person who on national security issues, which is what he s most interested in, focused on, i d say marco rubio is the guy he s closest to. but he said he will support the nominee, whoever it is. exactly. we ll have the second part of jamie s interview in our next hour and then a conversation with ari fleischer and paul begala about what cheney has said. what do you focus on in that? in that, we ll get into hillary s e-mails. he s very harsh about that. there is a democrat who he likes who he would like to get into

who he would like to get into the race. joe biden is dick cheney s man. not that he necessarily supports or agrees with biden but because it would make it more interesting? he s not endorsing joe biden. we talked about the spread of isis. he blames obama but we asked him, is there does bush/cheney bear some responsibility for isis? and then last but not least, he has a very dire prediction about another 9/11 attack on american soil. that s in our next hour. conversation with paul begala and ari fleischer. jamie, thank you. thank you. also in the next hour, debate about some of the claims that both cheneys have been making. that s between paul and ari who obviously worked in the bush administration. an update on the massive manhunt in northern illinois tonight for the three suspects wanted in connection with the killing of a police officer.
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
