HANNITY: My last thought here is, well, with that reality — are you as surprised as I am the country is so divided that we're even debating the Patriot Act, even debating NSA surveillance? You know, even debating securing the borders, in some respects? Is that somewhat shocking, in light of the nature of the threat you're describing?
CHENEY: I think it is. Of course, I have my view, and people will say, "Well, that's just Cheney. He's the Darth Vader of the administration, always taking the dark view." I think we have to think about the consequences that could flow from these kinds of events and developments. And I'm sorry that there isn't more unity, if you will, in the nation, in terms of how we address these issues.
But the threat's very real. It's out there. And we need to do everything we can to make certain that we aren't struck again. And that requires the kind of bold, aggressive leadership the president's provided and the great support we've had in Congress. And unfortunately, at this stage, I think there's some jeopardy, depending on how the election comes out, as to whether or not we'll be able to continue those policies.
HANNITY: Mr. Vice President, always good to see you.
CHENEY: Good to see you, Sean, I enjoy the show.
