bob dole: well, we offered it. i mean, it's gone as far as any of the other bills, and we think we'll come back to it next year. >> senator dole, when does all the partisan bickering end? last -- when the bush administration finished, george mitchell stood in the way of a lot of the things that president bush wanted to do. and now, for whatever reasons, you seem to be standing in the way of some of the things that mitchell would like to get done. president clinton -- when does it end? if you take over next time, then they're going to stand in front of you. when does it ever -- when do you ever -- bob dole: well, that's the way it works. [laughter] bob dole: i mean, i don't know what i'm standing in the way of except coverdell and packwood who are going to take over here in a minute, but -- >> senator dole, for a solid week -- bob dole: i mean, i -- is there something we're standing in the way of? name one. >> campaign reform california , desert. bob dole: well, that's not campaign reform. that's democrat -- >> calif

it was a classic bob dole. >> i love bob dole. i loved howard baker. i had the great honor of seeing some real giants on both sides that are really one of the great opportunities that i've had is meeting significantly great leaders on both sides of the aisle. >> do you see them -- this is a kind of loaded question, but do you see them today? >> i see a new generation of both members on both sides that i see great talent there. i really do. >> i see some especially i'm favorly inclined towards those who are veterans that have been to eye b iraq and afghanistan, both men and women, joni ernst from iowa, she spent time in iraq. so, yeah, i see talent coming up. i've great faith in our system of government over time. there's been strains before. >> your -- your grand father came home from the war and there was a welcoming home party for him and he collapsed. >> and died. >> and he died. >> yeah. >> and from what i've read, part of it was he didn't quite know what to do. >> i know. he didn't know what to do. that was -- that was part of it, and also the str

>> let me tell you, i was bob dole's assistant for ten years. said you don't have to worry about any footprints coming up behind you, you're the captain, i'm the lieutenant. i had been in the service too, in the infantry. it was the most glorious time of my life, serving ten years as his assistant. maybe i could be a supreme court appointment under that new administration. of course, we do have our age challenges. that's wonderful. >> thank you, senator simpson. it's a privilege to have you back on the program. >> it's nice to hear you. you bet. >> thank you, sir. >>> by the way, did anybody else notice that the tweet from dole said 2024? it didn't say 2020. ever the republican, i guess it's -- yeah, put it back up, katherine. check that out. so what's he really saying? i think he's saying that president trump gets re-elected in 2020, so it will be until 2024 that bob dole will run with ray chavez and with alan simpson as their supreme court pick. anyway, keep tweeting me me @smerconish. >>> still to come, after fox news settled five lawsuits ag

sunday shows to say otherwise and also when obama got in trouble for trading high-value taliban for bob dole and she has a problem with telling the truth. neil: it's a little different, if the bush administration screws up or the president of chemical of mass destructive weapons basing it on un studies is held to pay, putting your trust in an institution which they get wrong of disappearance of no chemical weapons. >> right. that's an incon an an annual -- promise made in treaties has not worked and we have seen as a result. neil: you can't trust united nations whether you're making a large statement about reliability in general, then it comes back on us, come back on us to do what we did yesterday and maybe do so again and again and that's not a fun position to be. >> perhaps, i think that the u.s. should always be thinking about what's in its national interest, there's international interest to be made that you make sure that the norm against chemical weapons is enforced. neil: chemical weapons is the dividing line. if you were to kill your people by other means, that's okay. >> assad has

only one of you voted for bob dole? no. i voted for ralph nader. journalism will never fix itself until it addresses the self-selection issue of who goes into journalism. give me a news room of 11 ronald reagan voter and one pat buchanan voter and i guarantee definition of news itself will change. journalists cannot correct it within the news room itself. it's a matter of the type of people who go into journalism. there's nothing nefarious about this. i think people who go on to wall street are cut from the same cloth. you need people who are able to think differently. people who are able to say i think donald trump can win this presidency. you're missing what's going on in the heartland and it range so wrong to so many because they couldn't understand it, they couldn't relate to it. the "washington post" when sonny perdue was named secretary of agriculture they put out a story, a headline, mocking perdue for praying for rain. now, it was a drought in georgia. he prayed for rain. this is not uncommon, ladies and gentlemen, in religious parts of ame

ethanol is a mythology and was a product of the bipartisan acquiescence of people like tom harkin, bob dole. at the farm lobbthe farm lobby l part of that -- >> we only have a few momentst v that -- >> i think that you are misunderstanding with my last book. there were two chapters on biofuel and was clear that corn ethanol is a bad idea and as far as i know they've nevers supported corn ethanol. if we could have made a cellulosic ethanol or other pathways we may still make those work it might look different but, certainly we are in complete agreement with you. to the degree that we are spending it should be in support of the practices like those that take the nitrogen op. >> we have time for one more question. >> [inaudible] have you noticed any of the farmers and ranchers using the benefits -- >> the economic benefits it can be a rough transition but just in kansas i talk about this extreme they have been dealing with and how the conventional yields have gone with the weather so it gives a greater security. they do one tractor pass instead of high, they had far less. the case is becoming

anna: that's what we heard yesterday from bob dole, talking yesterday about how sentiment in the u.s. is one of the biggest threats to the u.s. story. sentiment in the u.s. economy has become so high, it leaves investors vulnerable. >> indeed. and it's not as if the markets are cheap by any measure. also seasonally, this is coming up for a tricky time. april, may, then the traditional summer slump.i wouldn't be chasing equities . manus: we were looking at the flow of money, and we have this graphic for you about the flow of money. this always beckons the question whether it's you and me that are left at the end. investors pulled $133 billion into passes, managed exchange created funds in the first quarter. that is almost double the previous record we have seen. are we just late to the party on this? what is this flow -- what does this flow tell you? >> i think active managers have often underperformed, so looking backward, it makes sense to move toward pacifiers. i'd argue that that was then, this is now. when markets begin to turn, those merger managers can move o cash, who can tie m

clinton first. 11 hands went to the eyesight so only one of you voted for bob dole? no, i voted for ralph nader. [laughter] journalism will never fix itself until it addresses the self-selection issue of who goes into journalism. a indiscernible and ronald reagan voters and when pat buchanan voter and i guarantee the definition of ms. itself will change. journalists cannot correct it within the newsroom itself. if the matter the type of person who go into journalism. there's nothing nefarious. people who go onto wall street archive for mcauliffe is a generalized statement. any more ideological ideological balance in newsrooms. any people who are able to think differently and say i think donald trump can win this presidency. you're missing what's going on in the heartland in the ring so wrong because they couldn't understand it. they could relate to it. the "washington post" and sonny purdue was named secretary of agriculture, they put out a story, a headline knocking purdue for praying for rain. he prayed for rain. this is not uncommon in religious parts of america.

to bob packwood, dan rostenkowski, russell long, john duncan and bob dole, to jack kemp, bob caston, bill bradley, dick gephardt, who pioneered with their own versions of tax reform, i salute you and all the other members of the senate and house whose efforts paid off and whose votes finally won the day. >> dan rostenkowski, russell long, bill bradley, dick gephardt. ronald reagan couldn't have done it without them. all democrats. that's how tax reform got done. and that's why tonight there is not a single expert on tax legislation -- i'm not talking about accountants now. i'm talking about tax legislation. not people who worked on wall street or covered taxes from wall street. tax legislation. people who have worked on tax legislation there is not one who can honestly say that they see any way for this piece of paper to become the law of the land. joining us now, david cay johnston, pulitzer prize winning tax reporter who founded d.c.report.org, a nonprofit organization that covers the trump administration. also with us adelson currently works with the center for american progress a

domestically and internally as bob dole put it and as we have up here in the front of the library, we have all lived through and continue to live in the age of the sink, and our country is immeasurably better for it. i asked -- a smart guy, a genius and he said of r.n.'s legacy, richard nixon was an inspired man who lived to serve humanity. his life was a great success story, because despite the malice of his detractors and his own shortcomings to leave a legacy of peace. he has been vindicated by history. i can't hope to do better than what john and r.n. have done. so i end with this couple of thoughts. ladies and gentlemen, when you goes to sleep peacefully in her bedside, think of what john kennedy said. we ask god to go to work for us and to go to work for our great country. but here on earth god's work must be our work. richard nixon did that work, and he urged the highest praise. blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of god. when my friends ask me when i'm toiling, writing for richard nixon i think of a conversation i had with a wonderful friend in t

former senator bob dole is on his way to georgia for a trip 73 years in the making.e tweeted this photo with popcorn in hand a short time ago. he will visit the national imagery museum at ft. bening where he trained back in 1944. the oklahoma republican, a two-time purple heart and bronze star recipient fought in world war ii. all right. we are keeping an eye on 1600 pennsylvania avenue. president trump set to welcome the prime minister of italy in just a few moments. we will bring that to you live when it happens. plus this -- oh, wow. okay. that was not fireworks. i was watching that with you all. what a dog did to set off an explosion in its own living room. [waitress] more coffee? [student] yeah, thanks. [student] oh yeah for sure... [waitress] yeah ok [student] i can just quit school and get a job. [ex student] its okay daddy's here. [wife] daddy [wife] hi [dad] hey buddy [son] hey dad [wife] i think we can do this. [dad] really? [chancellor] adam baily. [chancellor] adam baily. >> sandra: it's a rough job being a dog. i said that. this pooch finding out the cos

really need to recognize that sustainable ethanol is in fact a mythology and is a partisan problem of bob dole and believe in the rfa lobby machines, the farm lobby was a critical part. >> sir, i am sorry to interrupt but we have just a few moments left. ethanol -- >> yeah, so, i actually think you are misunderstanding environmental funds. my last book had two chapters on bio fuels and came out in 2008 and was clear on the fact corn ethanol is bad idea. as far as i know, edf going back as far as i have been there, has never supported corn ethanol. it doesn't work out. the energy budget doesn't work out. if we could have made it use we would have. >> we have time for one more question here in the front. >> hi, when pushing prescribed grazing and you know, like you said, no till cultivation in cover crops that cut down nitrate use. have you noticed the farmers and ranchers beginning to for economic reasons see the benefits of no till? >> yeah, the economic benefits -- i mean it can be a tough couple years of transition. but just in kansas, i talk about this extreme swings that kansas has been de

bob dole knew he was going to lose in 1996, but in this case, hillary clinton thought she was going to win. guest: i think that changed depending on what was going on in the campaign, but definitely in the last few days she was certain she was going to win. she was talking to aides about what she was going to do in the white house. we recount an exchange she had with one of her aides a few days after the election. she said, you know, i bring out the worst in a lot of people, and i don't know where that is, but it is. the aide says to her, you know, it's going to get worse when you are in the white house. this is somebody who is very much thinking about going into the presidency. in the book, you see the optimism waning and the reality rising through the course of that night. the first indications were in florida and then the question was, are the numbers we are seeing in florida, are they going to extrapolate to north carolina, to pennsylvania, to michigan? there was some hope that they wouldn't, that it's just florida that's behaving this way, but instead what they knew in their heart

and jessie was -- friend of mine to this day bob dole and one of my mentors, teddy kennedy, for the precursoredeeming value. i didn't understand how he could do what he was doing. he looked at me and said, joe what would you tell me if i told you that dot and jessie helps three years ago were really the observer in their hometown of north carolina. what would you say if i went and adopted that child? he said, i learned a long time ago, everyone has been sent here has been sent because their state found something good about them. it's your job to look for that. it's always appropriate to question the man and woman's judgment, but never their motive because you don't know it. well, ladies and gentlemen all we do today is seem question motive. there's nothing beyond our capability, beyond our capacity, nothing. focus on that was referenced by a previous speaker. >> it's so different. it's so different. it's so similar in our aspirations. we have the christening, the constitution was to make those aspirations sing. history as demonstrated when we act as one america, we always do well, no matter w

reform because then we would have had a democratic version of welfare reform instead of the one bob doled later on. in this case, they can't off health care because if they don't get a health care replacement for obamacare, they can't do tax reform. it looks like they're really stuck on the republican side. how do you see their problem? >> they are stuck, chris. you're absolutely right. and sequencing is important. and as our mentor used to say, everybody is entitled to his own opinions, but not to his own facts. and the facts are about health care that it is complicated as donald trump discovered. and they have yet to reconcile those conflicting facts that made the affordable care act so difficult to reach as a matter of consensus. and now trumpcare is in tatters. the immigration reform that he touted, basically a muslim ban, is equally in tatters because the courts have struck it down. and the neil gorsuch nomination, if it succeeds, will be only because he changed those rules, which may leave the supreme court as well as the senate a lesser institution because he's dragged them down.

jesse holman's from -- jesse helms from north carolina, a friend of mine to this day, bob dole and oners teddy , kennedy, for the precursor, for the america's with disabilities act. he's talking about it's not government's obligation to care and deal with the handicapped, etc. so i walked in and sat down for my meeting. and i guess i looked angry and he said, what's the matter, joe, he spoke and turned. i said, that jessie helms, and i went on to basically say, he had no social redeeming value. i didn't understand how he could do what he was doing. he looked at me and said, joe what would you tell me if i told helms threed jesse years ago where reading the raleigh observer in their hometown of raleigh, north carolina. a story on a man with steel crutches saying all i want for christmas is someone to love me. would you say if i told you that they went and adopted that child? i said i would feel foolish. he said will they did. he said i learned a long time ago, everyone has been sent here was sent because there are state found something good about them. -- their state found something goo

jesse helme of north carolina was excoriated greater friend of mine to this day, bob dole, and one ofnd something good about them. it is your job to look for that. it's always appropriate to question a man or woman's judgment, but never their motives because you don't know what. ladies and gentlemen, we need to focus on the things that unite us. focus on what our founders understood, that there is nothing beyond our capability, beyond our capacity. nothing. focus on the motto that was referenced by a previous speaker e pluribus unum, out of 190. that's who we are. we are so different. we have so different, but so similar in our aspirations. we have the crucible, the constitution to make those aspirations vain. histories demonstrate react as one america. no matter who's in charge. rich, poor, middle-class, white, hispanic, gay, transgendered. one america, even when it is not easy, which most of the time it is not. the setbacks for the xenophobic attitude, we have always eventually stepped forward. we have always overcome. but as martin o'malley, who i considered a great friend who was

george mcgovern and bob dole work together in a bipartisan way during the 1970s to help strengthen our nutrition and empty hunger programs. we were our way to eliminating hunger in this country and then we began to reverse some of the progress we made. now, what i find is that this issue has become polarizing. you're never gonna find a member of congress that is pro- hunger. they will never say that to you. when you look at the voting records of some of my colleagues, i don't know how you could come to any other conclusion. what ends up happening is that they are chipping away at programs that provide the basic necessity of food to our children and two parents and two older people. when i look at the presidents budget were told that in that budget there may be cuts to programs like wic, women's infant and children program. basic nutrition for pregnant mothers and their young children after their born. it is important, it is important because if we neglect that then will have to pay in other ways on the line. again i hate to talk about this in terms of the bottom line in dollars and cen

we had dick durbin, we had george bush, bob dole, baker, all the anti-reagans, $98 billion tax increase1982, all that stuff came through. this administration will start working together. understand what it takeses to create prosperity. we didn't get the big one until 1986, neil, where we dropped highest rate to 28%. we went down from 14raets, down to two brackets. dropped the corporate from 46 to 34%. that occurred in 1986. indexing didn't happen until 1985. give this administration time. they will be in for eight years. they will get it all done. neil: you are smoking something now. i mean -- i don't know. >> i wish. neil: i knew the reagan white house. i covered the reagan white house this is not the reagan white house. >> that's for sure but reagan white house the reagan white house wasn't the reagan white house. you remember al hague panned you will the stuff that occurred. neil: the bork thing. >> bork and thomas. neil: a lot of things have to be just right, my friend. they don't have an art laffer guy, a supply-sider guy whispering in their ear. they have these crazy kensyians. >>

think this issue should not be a partisan issue, and for many years it wasn't, george mcgovern and bob dole worked together in a bipartisan way during the 1970s to strengthen our nutrition and antihunger programs. we are actually on her way to eliminating hunger in this country. then we began to reverse some of the progress we made. and now what i find is that this issue has become a very polarizing. you are never going to find a member of congress is going to tell you that they are pro-hunger. pro-hunger. they will never say that to you. when you look at the voting records at some of my colleagu colleagues, i don't know how you could come to any other conclusion. because what instep happening is that they are chipping away at programs that provide the basic necessity of food to our children and to parents and two older people. when i look at the president's budget, we are told in that budget their may see cuts to programs like wic, women's infants and children program. basic nutrition for pregnant mothers for their young children after they are born. i mean, it is important. it is importan

come to the senate after her service in the military is to follow in the path of senator bob dole, a disabled veteran from world war ii who led the republican side of the aisle. senator danny inouye, a personal friend to both senator duckworth and myself who served in world war ii. senators douglas, paul douglas of illinois, who served as well. strom thurmond from south carolina, republican. and then more recently max cleland, a vietnam veteran, bob kerry, john kerry. the list goes on and on of great people who served our nation in the military and then came to serve in the senate. one of the points she made in that speech was one of the reasons that i supported her so wholeheartedly. when we face the most difficult trying and challenging votes in a senate career, a vote to go to war, having the voice of tammy duckworth on the floor is a reminder of the real cost of war and how we should avoid it at any cost if we can. and what we are asking our men and women in america to do if we send them off to war. she will have more credibility, will have more confidence in her judgment than vi

alix: joining us for more is dole --mand, and bob bob doll. i'm going to look at one barometer, the dxy. since the election, you have seen a pricing out of trump's legislative agenda. what needs to be priced in? >> what you need to see is the contours of the fiscal program, essentially making most investors think the cuts are going to be permanent and large-scale and not going to be deficit neutral. unless you see those qualities come through in the package i'm not sure that the ex-wives going to rise that much -- the dxy is going to rise much. with what is going on in washington, that could easily liberate 25 basis points over the next 25 months and that requires a higher dxy. but the fiscal package is going to be large and permanent. >> in the equity market, are you going to see the optimism and deliver on those key points to have the same momentum? >> that is right. i don't know one investor that believes the corporate taxes are going to 15%. it is trump's completing what he started in the campaign. it is a starting point. we will have lowe

bob jones university. the federal government can have a very big impact on private schools but cities and towns. it was libby dole who changed the feed limb to 55 miles an hour. but the constitution says federal laws are supreme overstate laws. it's treated like a ratchet. if it's a federal law liberals like, we shall have one national abortion law, that must be even forced. by the way, these aren't laws, they are mere supreme court opinions. down to some kentucky clerk they are demanding she issue a gay marriage license. but when it comes to things that are by definition laws the federal government ought to be dealing with, immigration, you can't contain immigration to a single city or a single state. they can walk around and go from one town to the next to kill people. of course, that's immigration the supreme court ruled over and over again. of course, immigration is a federal responsibility. jesse: can you imagine if the local jurisdictions disregarded the federal laws on guns and tax laws. i known the hell that would rain down on those cities and states would be unbelievable. but when democrats do it, it's n
