he tweeted paul manafort worked for ronald reagan, bob dole and highly prominent and respected political leaders. he worked for me for a very short time. why didn't government tell me he was under investigation?

bob dole like people. he was in politics after he got out of the army. he had a good sense of humor. he made up a lot of jokes on his own. he liked to do that kind of thing and he was good at it. the main point of variation is, text is written as the spoken word. it doesn't have any corks that would be unique to one person or another. the important thing is, how will he get into the speech and what's gonna be comfortable. >> related to that, i work for bill and hillary. they are excellent speakers. they don't really need speechwriters. your value added is finding that nugget or the story that can help them get into the speech. finding the historical antidote for frame whatever policy they are proposing. finding the historical nugget or the real person connection or biographical story, americans love biography. it's a great way to connect with an audience. it's finding those factoids and anecdotes that will help them launch a speech and personalize a speech. you do that prep for them. you do the tailoring for the audience. >> that's where you're researche

if you go on youtube the nixon library you see bob dole not being able to get through his eulogy. the same guy who told this wonderful story about hear no evil, see no evil, and evil, here he is breaking down in tears at nixon's death. the same nixon who noted in our history as the only president to resign, the white house tapes, everything sordid about richard nixon is balanced in 1947 as a young congressman he goes to washington, he makes sort of a good impression and the republicans who have, in control of the house that year decide to put him on the special delegation that is going to europe to see whether or not this new plan suggested by general marshall at harvard that summer might actually work, and i want to give you a sense of how popular this was in orange county where nixon was from. herman perry was his great mentor and perry writes him "will be pouring money down a rat hole to help the undeserving in europe and tax the people in the united states to death. frankly, i trust that in the future you'll be extremely careful in not getting too far involved in this bungling

and bob dole said, i walked into the room, and there they were, see no evil, hear no evil, and evil. and yet, bob dole wounded in the mountains of northern italy in 1945 had to get up every morning and move his right arm into position. and stick a pen or a piece of paper into it. because of the grievous nature of the wounds. the medic that had come along had written on his forehead in bob dole's own blood that they had given him the maximum amount of morphine, there was nothing they could do for him, and somehow he was carted down out of the mountains and he survived. and bob dole always said that of all the politicians that he met, of all the delegates, of all the chamber of commerce officials across the land, there was one person who always remembered to walk up and extend his left hand to bob dole and that was richard nixon, because bob dole could not do the most elemental political act, which was a handshake. and as dole said, it may not have meant a lot to him, but it meant a lot to me. and if you go to the nixon library, just go on youtube, you'll see bob dole at nixon's funera

bob dole, longtime senate leader and the present he strikes a more moderate and measured tone. even running neck and neck with the kansas secretary of state fiscal back is aggressively anti-illegal immigration. quoted as being trump before trump was trump. also forced voters to bring identification to the polls. a federal judge, a federal judge appointed by president bush, struck it down as unconstitutional. just hours before the polls open, president trump tweeted his endorsement of chris goldbach. it may move some of his advisors and the republican governors association opposed. but he won kansas by 20 points a couple of years ago. his endorsements have been gold, 9 for 9 in people he backed in late elections. polls close at 7:00. shannon? >> shannon: thank you. in missouri, primary voters are setting up a key senate race with democrat incumbent claire mccaskill and republican josh holick considered to be heavy favorites. the right-to-work state is also on the ballot in washington state. we'll decide candidates and ten congressional races, u.s. senate seat and dozens of legis

and they learned on the senate floor john mccain -- john mccain learned on the senate floor that bob dole wore his throughout much of his captivity. i respect and honor senator dole and i saw that day the respect and honor he had for a fellow senator, a fellow serviceman, a fellow veteran, both senator dole and senator mccain whose lives were dramatically affected by their service to our nation. quite frankly, when i arrived in the united states senate, i was intimidated by senator mccain. he was vitriolic. he had the opportunity, he had the habit of exploding at a moment's notice, something could set him off, something he cared passionately about could cause him to react. and in my early days as a new united states senator, i didn't seek the companionship of john mccain. that was a mistake on my part because despite his prickly nature, knowing john mccain became one of the most valuable experiences i've had in the senate. we began working together on one of those issues that john mccain and no one else in the united states senate could have the stature to deal with. certainly our militar

we will talk to people who knew him well," including former presidential candidate bob dole. former senator kelly iota, close friend and political ally of john mccain. spent at least three years as a cellmate in vietnam. i capitol hill and what we can expect to come. >> expected to be a very full week of tributes honoring senator john mccain's lifetime. we do expect to hear from the senate chaplain and the majority, but minority leaders. back into session for the week. we have heard from some of the senate colleagues traveling back from their home states, talking about mccains passion on a wide range of issues. a willingness to fight for his beliefs. mccain will be the 30th person to lie in the capitol rotunda on friday, there will be a funeral service at the national cathedral where we expect former presidents george w. bush and barack obama to be among the yule adjusts. the burial service will be sunday at his beloved united states naval academy in maryland. >> neil: thank you, very, very much. much has been made of the life of john mccain. former new hampshire senator kell

he was -- bob dole, you won't be surprised to learn, liked people. he had been in politics since just a few years after he got out of the army in world war ii, and he had a very good sense of humor. he made up a lot of jokes on his own, and he liked to do that kind of thing, and he was good at it. but, really, the main point of variation is if the text is decently written, it's written as the spoken word and doesn't have any kind of quirks that would be obviously unique to one person or another, really, the important thing is how is he going to get into this speech and what's going to be comfortable? >> yeah, and related to that is like -- i worked for people -- bill and hillary clinton are both excellent extemporaneous speakers. they don't really need speechwriters. so what's your value added? your value added is finding that nugget or finding, like, the story that can sort of help them get into the speech, finding, you know, the historical anecdote that will, like, sort of frame whatever policy you're proposing, or if you're visiting a country, lik

he worked for bob dole. h worked for ronald reagan. he worked for many, many people. and this is way it ends up. it was not the original mission. believe me. it was something very much different. so, nothing to do with russia and collusion. we continue the witch hunt. thank you very much. >> what about michael cohen? >> thank you. >> any comment on michael cohen? >> we have the move. come on. >> all right. so there you heard the president. made a gestures, walked over to reporters there on the tarmac defending paul manafort found guilty at eight counts, felony counts. paul manafort, the president said is a good man. it's very sad thing that happened to him today. he said repeatedly nothing to do with russian collusion. a witch hunt. dwo quote, i feel bad for paul manafort. reminding us that paul manafort one point worked for bob dole and for ronald reagan. and once again, he ended with nothing to do with collusion. the president then walked away, heard some questions shouted on the michael cohen guilty plea in new york. he ignored those questions and you can see the p

you will see bob dole at nixon's funeral not being able to get to his eulogy. he told a wonderful story and here he is breaking down in tears at nixon's death. the same nixon who is noted as the president that resigned. everything is sorted. 1947 as a young congressman he goes to washington, he makes a good impression of himself to the republicans and put them on the special delegation going to europe to see whether or not this new plan, suggested by the general at harvard might work. i want to give you a sense of how popular this was in orange county where nixon was from. his great mentor writes him. we will be pouring money down the rathole to tax the people in the united states to death. frankly, i trust that in the future you will be careful in getting, not getting too far in this bungling thinking. that is with the republicans are telling richard nixon. he goes and sees the cities of germany and france and he goes to a divided city. he is convinced that the people of western europe are not lazy socialist and the plan will work and he is confronted with a g

bob dole could tell jokes for 10 minutes. you wouldn't be surprised to learn that bob dole liked people. he was in politics just a few years after he got out of the army in world war ii and he had a very good sense of humor. he made up a lot of jokes on his own and he liked to do that kind of thing and he was good at it. really, the main point of variation is text is decently written and written as the spoken word and doesn't have any kind of quirks that would be unique to one person or another. the important thing is, how is he going to get into the speech and what is going to be comfortable. >> related to that; i worked for people, bill clinton and hillary clinton are both very good extemporaneous speakers. they don't really need writers. the value that you add is finding the story that can help them get into the speech, finding the historical anecdote that will frame whatever policy they are proposing or the country they are visiting, history of u.s. relations, finding a historical nuget or a real person connection or a bi

again, he worked for bob dole, he worked for ronald reagan. he worked for many people.his is the way it ends up. it was not the original mission, believe me. it was something very much different. so i have nothing to do with russian collusion. we continue the witch hunt. >> reporter: so, wolf, those were questions not just about paul manafort, but also about michael cohen. instead the president came over, he denounced the special counsel's investigation. he said he feels badly for paul manafort, but he had nothing to say about his long-time attorney michael cohen, someone who knew the president much more -- for a longer time and much better than paul manafort did. and we know, wolf, that is something that has irritated the president for months. way more than the special counsel's investigation ever did. it was the michael cohen investigation that really bothered the president. back in april, you'll remember the president was in a meeting, when reporters came in the room, the president went off about the michael cohen raid, the fact that the fbi had raided his house, his

molinari: again, what an amazing honor to be a keynote speaker for bob dole. i loved working with senator dole. i got to know him because we worked closely together on several pieces of legislation. he was a freshman legislator, he does not ch, gender, he sees america. he was a super terrific guy. i got to know him so well on legislation and to have gotten that side from him was pretty neat. and his running mate, jack camp. >> it was an exciting time. >> were you surprised that you were asked to give the address? rep. molinari: totally. before the days of cell phones, we were on a baptizing of the baby -- the children, both girls were born in staten island. but were baptized elsewhere. sometimes you could not collaborate. we loved our district so much that we wanted a piece of history to be with them. i think we were baptizing susan, and bill was on his announcement tour now the old guy is , traveling with the wife and the kid. his district was so huge that he had six or seven announcements. when we were in a bar having dinner with friends, larry king was on, a

he knew the conflicts better than anybody other than maybe bob dole. i don't know anyone who suffered at one of tour worst enemies than bob dole. i don't know who replaces that voice in the u.s. senate. tom cotton? i'm not sure. i don't hear tom cotton say we should intervene left and right. any respect and admiration for mccain as a personal hero is depthless. and i taught my daughter all about him this weekend. and john mccain was a visionary when it came to the strategic faceoff the news is in the middle of with china. he was a guy that the navy was his family trade. and his father and grandfather were admirals. he was a strategic thinker. i'll miss that in the senate. this was a guy who really cared about his senate election and that gave him a certain freedom in foreign policy. guy: the term chicken hawk gets thrown around. that term could not ever apply to john mccain for the reasons we have been talking about. there is probably a lot of libertarians in ken difficulties audience who thought he was too willing to go there and too willing to interv

he worked for bob dole. i guess his firm worked for mccain. he worked for many, many people, many, many years. i would say what he did, some of the charges they threw against him, every consultants, every lobbyist in washington probably does. if you look at hillary clinton's person, you take a look at the people that work for hillary clinton, i mean, look at the crimes that clinton did. with the emails and she deletes 33,000 emails after she gets a subpoena from congress, and this justice department does nothing about it? and all of the other crimes that they have done. and they -- look at podesta. podesta was supposed to be manafort on steroids. they made him close up his firm. he was going to be indicted the next day, we heard. never happened. instead, they go after manafort. so, look, i didn't know manafort well. he wasn't with the campaign long, they got him on things totally unrelated to the campaign. by the way they got cohen on things totally unreality to the campaign. i'm not involved. i wasn't charged with anything. people don't like

that wouldn't have happened in the mansfield senate or with howard baker, or bob dole. >> host: that leads me to ask a question in the book that is so important into such an important observation you talk about the commitment to make the senate work as a key factor in that tiny and you just eluded to it clear now that is a difference between a collective agenda and individual agenda. talk about that distinction and why it is so important. >> guest: mansfield became the leader and had a view of how you should do business and he was the reaction to lyndon johnson. he didn't believe in bullying people. he believed all of the senators have to contribute to. when he heard the mansfield was trying to do he said it couldn't possibly work in the senate. they moved ahead that way. part of the mansfield instilled into the senators felt was the representative states vigorously and they were democrats or republicans who cared about their party but they have an overriding national commitment. to make this a network for the collective action that is what we are here for a. they argued, they hathat

he worked for bob dole. his firm worked for mccain. many, many people and many, many years. what he did, some of the charges they threw against him, every consultant and lobbyist in washington does. >> "the new york times" reports the president and rudy giuliani have discussed the potential political repercussions of pardoning manafort. giuliani says the president is not considering it. >> they are talking about the plea and manafort verdict. those willing to discuss it are shrugging it off. mitch mcconnell refusing to comment. house speaker paul ryan needs more information and top republicans are downplaying the matter entirely. >> naturally it makes us very concerned. you know, the president should not be held responsible for the people he trusted. >> i don't see deeper meaning in this other than you have to pay your taxes and you can't lie on a loan application. >> drama. away from the agenda that most of us have signed up for and we are actually executing. >> "the new york times" reports senior republicans are urging the most vulne

. >> former senate majority leader and world war ii veteran bob dole is joining us by phone. senator, thank you for your time and thank you for your service. tell me, what does john mccain mean to you? >> well sh, he is my friend, any hero. and we served together for years. he is a complete package. this man had it all. he had courage of course demonstrated when he was a prisoner of war, but he was also very bright, very smart man and senator and now sometimes john would get a little angry, and somebody would complain to me as the leader and i would just simply say if you were locked up in a cage for five years, you might lose your temper now and then, too. >> yeah, he had an excuse, no doubt. >> well sh, he had a perfect -- didn't do it trying to make a point by losing his temper, it is just that sometimes he boiled over. and when he did, nobody really paid a lot of attention unless they cast a vote that hurt the republican party, but that didn't happen maybe half a doz en times. and everybody's talked about his courage and his statesmanship and his love of america and his f

but again, what an amazing honor to be a keynote speaker, and to be a keynote speaker for bob dole was just -- i loved working with senator dole on so many issues. and here is a guy that i got to know because we worked closely together on several pieces of legislation. me as a freshman legislator. he does not see age, he does not see gender, he sees america. he is a really terrific, super guy. and, i've gotten to know him so well on legislation. and to have gotten that shot of confidence from him was neat. >> and his running mate, too. jack kemp. >> right afterwards, right? exactly. yes. it was a great time. >> re-surprised that you are asked to give the address? >> totally. so, before the days of -- we were on a baptizing the baby. so the children, both girls, were born in staten island and baptized. so sometimes we just couldn't collaborate. and we love our district so much that we wanted that piece of history to be with them. and i think we were baptizing susan and bill was on his announcement to her, right? now finally, you know, the old guy is traveling with the wife and the kid a

bush, dick quayle,bob dole, dan very different in their styles. they all of course are comfortable speaking in public. if you are comfortable speaking in public, you can read a speech that is decently written, that follows the basic elements. one of the main ones is of the of which is the sentences need to be short. it is a little bit different, in some ways it's significantly different from other types of writing. you have to read it aloud if you have written it. you have to be careful that things don't rhyme, or if you have a liberation that is not that is notion intended or any structural infractions that would hit the ear differently from how you intended it. the main point of variation among the people that i have written speeches for is how they get into a speech. how they start it, what that first page is like. how they bond with the audience, and how they get comfortable. president bush like to do -- liked to do extensive acknowledgments. so extensive that we would not write these things down, they would be gathered and it would be the may

he worked for bob dole. i guess his firm worked for mccain.worked for many, many people, many, many years. i would say what he did some of the charges they threw against him, every consultant, every lobbyist in washington probably does. >> no real answer there. rudy giuliani did tell "the new york times," he has spoken with the president about the political repercussions of a pardon. joining me now to discuss, senior political correspondent for the washingtushington exami david drucker. david, we heard from rudy giuliani saying he spoke with the president about the political ramifications. we haven't heard a lot from lawmakers. we heard from senator lindsey graham. take a listen. >> pardons are normally given for somebody who has reformed themselves. mr. manafort hasn't even been sentenced yet. a pardon would be viewed by a lot of people as self-serving to the president. i would advise against it. >> is that the main issue for the president, politically, this would be seen as self-serving, david? >> i think that the issue for the president is

again, he worked for bob dole, he worked for ronald reagan. he worked for many, many people. and this is the way it ends up. it was not the original mission, believe me. it was something very much different. so i have nothing to do with russian collusion. we continue the witch hunt. thank you. >> that witch hunt, as the president calls it, today led a jury in northern virginia convicting manafort of eight felony counts, deadlocking on ten others. jessica schneider is in the courthouse in alexandria, verge wrirj. explain what manafort was convicted of today. >> yeah, anderson, paul manafort convicted of eight of those 18 counts. the jury deadlocked on ten counts. prosecutors still have to decide whether or not to go to a retrial with those. but the eight counts here are significant. they include five counts of tax fraud, two counts of hiding foreign bank accounts, as well as two other counts of bank fraud. in fact, those two counts of bank fraud carry up to 30 years in prison each. and all in all, paul manafort faces up to 80 years in prison. when he went before the judge, and

we know him for watergate and for vietnam and as sort of a semi-famous story of bob dole showing up at the white house during the reagan years to join the delegation for the noir sought funeral and he walked in there was gerald ford and former president jimmy carter and richard nixon and bob dole with that savage wit of his said , see no evil, hear no evil, no evil. but having said that, the original title for the book was richard nixon : an american tragedy. because i think it is, a tragic story. he came up in almost dickensian straits in the outback of southern california and his parents were demonstrated one way or another, one through coldness, the other through passion that they didn't think much of them but to the two favored brothers of the families died and richard had to step in but he came away with the experience believing that as he told david frost that i am on the unlovable person. can you imagine going on television? i'm such an unworthy individual that nobody could ever possibly love me and that's the way he believed. he had this thought in the back of his head that he

again, he worked for bob dole, he worked for ronald at reagan. he worked for many people. this is the way it ends up. it was not the original mission, believe me. it was something very much different. it has nothing to do with russian collusion. we continue the witch hunts. thank, very much. >> dana: is the president stepping off of air force one about to go to rally tonight. getting a statement about manafort out of the way. we are hoping to get john roberts back up pretty soon and ed henry, if he is availabl available. maybe not. but michael cohen, not getting a mention there. what'd you make of the president's comments just now? they were brief but they stayed on the message that this is a witch hunt and he feels very badly for paul manafort who is just found guilty by a jury of his peers on eight counts. >> it is significant because the manafort case is a better situation for the president, as bad as it is for paul manafort in that he is facing major prison time. as a president pointed out, he is right, it was not about russian collusion. it was bank and tax fraud long
