. >> on the day that i was elected one of the first persons i called was bob dole, the republican leaderi talked to him. they have been here 20 years. i have only been here a couple of years. the leaders of the senate the minority leader which he was can't function effectively. we have to have trust to get anything done. i said i am here to tell you how way. i raid out the most basic standards of fairness. i won't attack you personally. we shook hands and i am proud to say to you that to this moment, to this very moment, never once has a harsh word passed between bob dole and i. we won some battles. he won some. we had a high responsibility to the people of this country and to the senate. >> senator, there is so much acrimony in our politics. >> there is. >> very difficult. you have to have this bit of context. glasses. there never was a type when everything was buddy, buddy and cheery, cheery and no disputes. disputes are inevitable. the american system, economic, political, social, cultural, sports, is built on competition. we believe competition is good. nobody advocates a one-party s

party and will continue to do so if they do not nominate another bob dole there will be another party but the republican party dye's may be the of liberty party emerges as the alternative but i don't see any way to get out of the two dominant parties that does not mean you cannot putd3e ideas back in to the party. event considered insane the radical during the bill clinton years with nancy pelosi and barack obama. >> host: you say that division at times looks like all out to warfare? then it did future the of mitch mcconnell that we have to beat the grassroots insurgents that we are going to go to the primary which is the majority leader. is it a productive debate? >> it is a bloody debate. and for the establishment candidates for the lobbying firms across washington have been embraced it is very personal going after the rise on a very personal basis. produces better products in if a candidate cannot win a primary then how could they with the general? i wanted robust debate with lots of talented people vying for the nomination that no one the rnc to name the next bob dole i think out

>> guest: if we get bob dole again.he next guy guy in mind is judicial and gotten the end there's nothing compelling to young people in a mitt romney or john mccain. that should be obvious without having to say it. the good news is i think we have repopulated the presidential field with some pretty compelling young people to think about the world and a much more dynamic way. >> host: you mentioned rand paul and the book you speak of this filibuster talking about barack obama including american citizens. it was an interesting moment for me. i was in the house chamber watching it and to watch the republican party become almost the party of peace. is this something you think is a movement or is it partisan opportunism? >> guest: actually i think it's a return to what the traditional republican position on national defense has been. if you go back to reagan and the way that george w. bush ran for office, he ran against nation-building. i thought the more interesting question about the filibuster was the way that everyone wa

>> guest: if we run bob dole as republicans -- >> host: and republicans basically run bob dole every four years. >> guest: yeah. there's nothing compelling to young people in a mitt romney or a john mccain. and that should be obvious without having to say it. the good news is i think that we've repopulated the presidential field with some pretty compelling young people that think about the world in a much her dynamic way. >> host: you mentioned rand paul, and in the book you speak of his filibuster talking about barack obama's drone strikes on people including american citizens. >> guest: yes. >> host: this was an interesting moment for me. i was in the house chamber watching it, and to watch the republican party become almost the party of peace. >> guest: yeah. >> host: is this something that you think is a movement, or is this just partisan opportunism? >> guest: actually, i hi it's a return to what the -- i think it's a return to what the traditional republican position on national defense has been. you go back to reagan, you go back to the way that george w. bush ran for office,

why i worked with the republican party and will continue to do so if they do not nominate another bob dole there will be another party but the republican party dye's may be the of liberty party emerges as the alternative but i don't see any way to get out of the two dominant parties that does not mean you cannot putd3e ideas back in to the party. event considered insane the radical during the bill clinton years with nancy pelosi and barack obama. >> host: you say that division at times looks like all out to warfare?

mitt romney would need to beat the bob dole share of the vote with white people by 15 points. he'd need to win more of the white vote than poppy bush did either time he ran when he lost or upon. he'd need a higher proportion of the white vote than any republican candidate elected in the last 28 years. 61% of all white people had to vote for mitt romney for him to win. this freaked out washington basically and freaked out the romney campaign. turns out rightfully so. that analysis said that mitt romney would need to get 61% of the white vote in order to win the presidency. ultimately, he didn't get 61%. he got 59% of the white vote and he did lose the presidency. he lost the election. and two years ago in august, when this prescient analysis first came out, the romney campaign responded by taking a sort of jarring turn toward race issues, toward the sort of coded racial campaign tactics that are awkward for anybody but were particularly awkward with them. it's an awkward thing to try to juice white turnout because everybody can tell what you're doing. that was the time in the c

bob dole had a tear coming down his eye. bob dole while nixon was president has been asked would you like them to make an appearance in kansas? and he said, a flyover would do. [laughter] so my nixon would've seen straight through these guys. he knew that kissinger was badmouthing him up with his friends in cambridge and at the georgetown parties. he understood everything that was going on. he was onto them, but he would have been mighty pleased with his funeral. i have to say i kind of miss him. he was so interesting. now, why did i write this journal in the first place? when i spoke to mr. sean, we have decided for keeping the journal at the time, as i said we did know what was going and they came back to washington, and this is also why we are here again. my mentor at the time, he also happened to have been david's, john gartner, said to me, elizabeth, elizabeth, write it so that 40 years from now people will know what it was like then. it cannot be recaptured. i don't know that i wrote it any differently with that in min

but i'd be remiss to say that it's also the 91st of day of bob dole. so we are happy to celebrate that today as well. [applause] on behalf of everyone i want to say thank you for coming and i want to thank the end of her public policy center and we have their representatives here as well. right over there and we will be hearing more from kathleen and michael and her team and we thank them very much for the support. without them we could not have made this happen. so we thank you for the help to the public policy center. i have a mother that i lost on september 11, 2001. so it is a anniversary for me and many other 9/11 victims, many who are here in the room. my mother was lost and carol ashley is here and for us the commission report was a bit of an end of the journey and so for the members who are in this room, their journey started in early 2003 but for the 9/11 families, our journey started sooner. i remembered distinctly. it was generally 30th 2002 and i was returning home to boston from washington dc and we had been advocating on behalf of other f

so, happy birthday, bob dole. we've worked together for a long time on these issues. and today is another interesting day. tailed the senate foreign relations -- today, the senate foreign relations committee passed out of the committee the united nations treaty on disabilities, formerly known as the convention on the rights of persons with disabilities. and i'm going to have more to say about that. before i go any further, i ask unanimous consent that anika grass l and angela west, interns with the senate healt help comme be granted floor privileges. the presiding officer: without objection. harass harem going to have the major part of my remarks today about the united nations treaty, now known at convention on the rights of people with disabilities or, the shorthand version is crpd, as it's known here and globally. mr. harkin: for most of our recent history, support for disability rights has had broad support across the political spectrum. but now at full senate looks ahead to consideration of the convention on the rights of people with disabilities, we're beginning

it got the larger law bob dole but. joe i'm still being you know you were there you were. if you could do you think. it's good you're going to do did used good news because you're going to lose these . in other developments several areas of the russian border with ukraine have been hit by ukrainian army mortar rounds multiple shells hit the same checkpoint where russian border guard was injured in a similar incident two weeks ago local authorities say that this latest attack hasn't caused any casualties but the damage has hurt several key infrastructure facilities one of the shells landed in front of a bus station although no vehicles were there at the time but a t.v. crew from russia's channel five did get caught up in that shelling. we just look at it you see what's happening this is russian territory these are shells hitting russian territory and they're coming in from ukraine. though firmly in russia's rose stuff region near the border with ukraine when those shells came in the journalists saw and heard at least nine explosions as they tried to flee to safety. roof and

bob dole brokered bipartisan deals and teamed up with george mcgovern to save the food stamp program.dole had this to state last year. >> what do you think of your party, of the republicans today? >> i think they out to put a sign on the committee doors that says closed for repairs until new year's day next year. and spend that time going over ideas and positive agendas. >> and also landmark health insurance legislation with ted kennedy. but all of that was in the pb era, the era that began in 2010 when sam brownbeck was governor of kansas. he first one back in 1996 when he got his senate seat by defeating a moderate pro-choice republican. and sense then, the fight between he and the once moderate wing has only escalated. 2012, they controlled the state senate in a series of bidder primary fights. he's led a conservative revolution as governor. he signed into law an abortion bill that defines life as beginning at conception. he's had tax cuts that attributed to a huge drop in state revenues. at the same time that he was slashing income taxes, brownback reigned in the welfare. and many

with the republican party today, when you used to be able to deal with people like howard baker and bob dole and big people, then you could actually sit down and work out deals. in the house of representatives, they have refused to go to conference on anything. 80% have refused to go to conference, which is where most of this gets done. the problem is the republican party has elected a group of, i hate to say it, but they're midgets. and there is no big standing republican left that i can see, with the exception maybe being -- >> they're called little people, bob. >> sorry. >> i want you to apologize to dana. >> i apologize. seriously, i try to look across -- the democrats, i would say the same thing about for the most part. >> when republicans came to the table on immigration reform, the president demonized those who didn't. even when they're willing to compromise, it doesn't matter because they get name called and thrown in the mud anyway, so what's the point? >> they never got to conference for immigration reform, that's the point. i still say the point is that there are no big players in

1976, where we were protesting against rockefeller, always a staunch democrat, he came to support bob dole's nomination and i just -- he gave a finalous iconic, could still get the picture on amazon governor rockefeller was signing copies of that picture to the horror of people on his staff, one who told me walked in one day and he found the vice president of the united states signing the photo of the governor giving a one-finger salute to the protesters. he said you can't be signing this picture he got more mail, more friendly mail about that incidents than anything else in his entire career except dallas night at the cal palace in 1964: our guest richard norton smith and his book on rockefeller t on his own terms. alexis is joining us from caller: good morning. thank you, mr. norton smith? correct? i just wanted to kind of reminisce with you. in 1964, i was a 19-year-old student in atlantaa and there was a mock con convention at emery university and the goldwaters were there. there had been a parade in atlanta for barry goldwater and then they came to emery, and i was almost swayed but not

respect him, look up to him, we became very close friends after we both left the senate he and i and bob dole and bob daschle created the bipartisan center, which seeks bipartisan solution to problems. howard was a great person, a great senator who understood that the national interest comes first. >> he was a great leader. >> thank you very much for being with with us, senator mitchell and thank you all for joining us. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> captioning sponsored by rose communications captioned by media access group at wgbh access.wgbh.org funding for charlie rose has been provided by the coca-cola company, supporting this program since 2002. american express. and charles schwab. additional funding provided by -- >> and by bloomberg, a provider of multimedia news and information servic >>> this is nightly with tyler mathisen and susie gharib. >> the big exit, did the federal reserve offer hints how and when it plans to hike interest rates and exit this historic era of loose monetary policy. >> wheeling and dealing, where mega deals get done and this year is turning out to be it. >> a

that are doing this, there's in republicans out here, you have tea party, but you also have the old bob dole are proguns. but they also believe in sound education, they also believe in good roads, they believe in helping each other, they are very decent simple people, a lot of what kovach does rubs them the wrong way. the point wasn't to succeed necessarily, i'd like to win and it's more possible than i would have thought. but to start raising the flag to build back a responsible center right party, i think you have to do that from within. >> mr. winter i noted that even paul davis who you endorsed isn't calling for those tax cuts to be withdrawn and for taxes to go up. what kind of impact do you hope to have on this race? >> well, we hope to have a similar impact to what scott's talking about. and frankly, one of the issues is competence. and that is, we first need a governor in the state legislature that can balance the budget, that can make sure that central core services like public safety and education are adequately taken care of. and that's just not happening, so we first have to do -

bipartisan think tank founded by four former majority leaders, baker, daschle, george mitchell and bob dole who today we're here to celebrate the birthday of not only the commission report but i would be remiss if i didn't say it was bob dole's 91st birthday as well. >> on behalf i want to say thank you for coming. i want to think annanberg policy center. we have representatives here as well. i'm not sure where in the room. right over there. we'll hear from kat line hall jamison and the team. we thank them very much for the support. without them we simply could not have made this report happen. thank you very much to the annanberg policy center. i'm going to take my bpc hat off just for a second. as many of you know, my mother was killed on september 11th, 2001. so 10 years ago today was a bit of a different day for me and the other 9/11 members many of whom are in the room. my mother was lost. janice's mother is here. abraham scott who lost his wife is here. for us the 9/11 commission report was a bit of the end of a journey, not just the beginning.

let me just say i covered the senate when bob dole and george mitchell both partisans were the leadersand, boy, did they work together every day they met us on the floor of the senate, the press corps comes out and they would tell us what was agreed on and what was voted on that day and it was heavy agenda. thank you all very much. >> thanks. >> chris cillizza and susan page. >>> now to northern california where a raging wildfire threatens to explode out of control today. four square miles of parkland up in flames. hundreds of firefighters racing against the clock to fact back the spreading blaze. 100 homes also at risk. >>> and in the tinderbox conditions throughout the west, it is the season of mega fires with record-setting blazes across california, washington and oregon so far this state. today alone, 120 wildfires are burning in the region. >>> ebola spreading in africa and likely continue to spread. what you need the know right here next on andrea mitchell reports. avo: waves don't care what age you are. take them on the way you always have. live healthy and take one a day men's

bob dole when he was first leakleak elected was elected to the 60sth. now have four, headed to three it we don't change the ta trajectory. but these things are starting to woub. work. >> what do you say to some of the criticism? you have a former chairman of the republican party, it does seem like your party is divided. the only way you lose in a state like kansas is if moderate republicans leave you for the democrat. >> well, i think what i say to them is, look, you have to choice. an election cycle produces a choice. i'm a reagan style republican, my opponent is a obama style democrat who supports tax increases, who supports obamacare, his running mate was the obama compaco-chairman. so you have a choice. it's about a choice between these two. when you give that choice to ka kansas republicans, they will say i don't agree with you on everything, but i sure agree with you a lot more than i do president obama. >> what raised the ire of some is that they felt your political operation targeted them for you of change your style. try to reach out to the mod

speaker, it is with great sense of pride to wish my good friend and fellow jayhawk, senator bob dole, a happy 91st birthday and many more to come. happy birthday, senator dole. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. for what purpose does the gentlelady from new hampshire eek recognition? the gentlelady from new mexico is recognized. >> thank you, mr. speaker. earlier tonight in i was honored to bring together new hampshire business leaders to discuss the importance of the export-import bank and call for its immediate re-authorization. ms. kuster: i thank leaders from b.a.e., boil energy, conductive components and other granite state employers for joining this important discussion on how supporting u.s. exports grows our economy and creates good jobs here at home. the export-import bank provides essential risk management services to american businesses, selling their products in an unstable global economy. dozens of granite state firms have used these services, which have supported over $350 million in new hampshire exports in recent years. and in new hampshire's se

i mean, when we were there in washington in the '90s, we had differences with bob dole in others, but things really working out. do you have any comments bursts of how things work then to now in washington? >> i have a lot of comments about that. i'm sure we have to turn off the cameras, i think. [laughter] >> so yes, i don't understand why we can get along exactly. but his lawyers, when i used to practice law, we battled each other and then we would all have a drink together after is over. so i understand that is what needs to happen. even kennedy and other leading republicans would at least get together after hours and work things out. i think that we are in big trouble because we are no longer civil with each other. and i have seen year after year after year, less stability. so i think money has a lot to do with it. i think that money has cretin to our politics to the extent it's up to us to be citizens who speak out with a vote and speak out with their voices and say that we are not going to put up with this lack of civility. and we are not going to let either party failed in bein

that's the party that, for instance, bob dole comes from.per conservative kansas republican party and this is the one sam brownback is from and this is the one that's been ascendant in kansas for the last few decades now. it really has become the dominant wing of the republican party in kansas. under brownback, it's basically tried to snuff out what's left of the moderate ring. just two years ago, brownback led an effort to purge moderate republican state legislators in primaries to drive them out of the statehouse to replace them with right wingers and he got his way. 2012 was also the same year he signed a controversial tax slashing law into effect. that law combined three tax brackets into two. cut state income tax rates and also chopped taxes for businessowners. brownback said at the time that the cuts would create tens of thousands of new jobs and help make kansas the best place in america to start and grow a small business. two years later, it hasn't quite worked out that way. so far, it's cost kansas a ton of revenue without really ju

>> but the other thing about kansas is there has been a battle inside the republican party since bob doleed down as majority leader when he ran for president and it continues to play out. >> and this is why something could set off. this is awesome. we could have done this for much longer. we'll bring you back into it again, i promise. >>> up next, the state known for cheese is known for out of the box political thinking. the tdr 50 train rolls into wisconsin this week. we'll tell you what our soup of the day is. it comes from maxi's in milwaukee. they're serving up crab and corn chowder. i'm not a big fan of doing seafood in the midwest, i'm just saying. we'll be right back. another left his shoes on the plane... his shoes! and a third simply doesn't want to be here. ♪ until now... until right booking now. ♪ planet earth's number one accomodation site booking.com booking.yeah! when folks think about wthey think salmon and energy. but the energy bp produces up here creates something else as well: jobs all over america. engineering and innovation jobs. advanced safety systems & technology.

is a good metaphor for that because it was a very effective political slogan, particularly since bob dole pledged to build a bridge to the past. and so it made a nice contrast to these young, forward-looking candidates vs. the backward-looking older candidate. but when you think about it, a bridge is a very static structure. it assumes that we're all at point a, and we're all gonna go to point b. and we know exactly where point b is, and we're going to build this bridge by blueprints and sort of centrally plan it. and these kinds of civil engineering metaphors--these very static metaphors, go back to the turn of the century and--and to that notion of progress. so i would--i put him in the static camp, but with this caveat. he has a little bit of the dynamic vision in some of his rhetoric, and certainly there have been people who have worked in the administration who have taken those ideas and--and worked them out. c-span: what about newt gingrich? >> guest: gingrich is even more mixed. i--newt gingrich is--i think he a lot of dynamist instincts in his personality, but they are overwhelmed

we have some real honesty bob dole's been >> enforcement is broken and the infractions committee hashelp a meeting in almost any year. i think that is not an understatement that cheating pays. its pc to, conspired to celebrate the rules. and i get caught on most occasions. >> gary: that is honesty for the come from the commissioner. how do you police a bolster seen a kid after the game as it is here is a couple of hundred dollars to take your girlfriend out? that stuff goes on all of the time. >> catherine: it is refreshing that someone said it. >> gary: yes someone with a suit and tie on. thank you catherine >> catherine: and said: there was odd behavior prompting a world wide push for help. >> catherine: and molly looking, they're in our jeter team that is getting a lot of attention. media is calling him the saddest paul baer in the world. there's a petition on change adopt or tool relocation to a better zouk and canada. people at the argentinas to are not helping exactly helping. they're saying he's beating older and moving him would not be easy. >> catherine: and entertainment ne
