The Jerry Doyle Show continues to reign as the fastest growing radio show in TRN Enterprises’ history, airing on over 200 affiliates nationwide, 34 of which are in the top 50 metro markets, and ranking as the 6th largest syndicated show in the nation, with over 3.75 million estimated weekly listeners, according to Talkers Magazine. 

Former Vice President Dick Cheney’s book tells his story with an insider’s eye on history, having served in various capacities within the government for almost forty years and at the center of American politics and power. Cheney, who was Secretary of Defense prior to becoming the Vice President, directed both the U.S. Invasion of Panama and Operation Desert Storm while serving in that capacity. 

Doyle asked the former Vice President about the most significant accomplishment of his service. Cheney stated, “In the aftermath of 911…There were things we needed to do to guarantee that we kept the country safe – America safe, from any further mass causality attacks. That meant we had to develop programs such as the terrorist surveillance program and enhanced interrogation techniques. We were at war after 911. We couldn’t call it a law enforcement problem anymore.” 

Doyle asked Cheney, “What kind of an on-going threat do we have from Al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups?” 

Cheney responded by saying, “Life moves on, things change, technology changes. We find different ways to deal with some of these problems. But the technology in some cases helps us 

Cheney continued by saying, “On the other hand, you look at things like for example the fact that we were ultimately able to track down Bin Laden... and that he’s now been dealt with appropriately. That is a very good thing a very positive thing.” 

Cheney confided one of his biggest concerns saying, “One of the threats I worry about is the possibility of terrorist armed with deadlier weapons than they had on 911. Instead of airline tickets and box cutters they show up with a nuclear weapon or a biological agent of some type and kill hundreds of thousands of people. We just have to recognize that we live in a dangerous world and we need to do everything we can to defeat our adversaries, before they get off any more shots against us.” 

Doyle then interjected, by saying, “You and President Bush seem to be the focal point of a lot of the attacks about weapons of mass destruction, manipulated intelligence etc… It’s got to be difficult to know how many people were slowly backing out of the room and left you two to take the heat.” 

Cheney recounted one of his earliest days in office, by saying, “The very first intelligence report that I can recall receiving after I was elected…was a report that warned about Saddam Hussein and his weapons of mass destruction. You recall that Congress had just passed a statute” with the intent being to “change the government regime in Iraq” and it included passing and appropriating over one million dollars to the cause. It was signed into law by Hillary Clinton and 523 other members of congress. 

After Doyle completed a brief summary of historical events about Cheney’s public and political image, Cheney complimented Doyle’s knowledge by saying, “The record is very clear…You know your history very well.”
