he was the neurosurgeon that that performed the surgery on bob dole. senator bob dole. so you can actually see there's even a drawing on where where the wound was. and and his treatment of that. and that's a and of course, bob dole went on to become a famous senator. and this writing, what we're seeing here is about senator dole that he was about and one of his other patients as well. so he as he was operating in a field hospital, he would write after each surgery what he had done. and of course, this is the one bob dole was just another soldier to him at that time. he obviously had a disdain bush career ahead of him, but had the surgeon not done his job so well that his american history would be different? and one more icon is represented in this case. that is ella fitzgerald helmet liner. so. many people are familiar with bob hope and and many of the famous hollywood stars that would go and perform for troops overseas. and ella fitzgerald did that. and so she had this helmet. and you can see the uso eagle camp shows painted on the front of it. peter crane, this is a r

a battle in which i was aided by bob michael and his troops and bob dole and his. this spring i worked day and night to get two thirds of house members to approve a balanced budget amendment to the constitution. we almost had it. we lost by just nine votes. listen how. just before the vote, the liberal leaders of congress convinced 12 members that cosponsored the bill to switch sides and vote no. keep in mind, they voted against a bill that they already had put their names on. something fishy is going on. [crowd booing" look at my opponent on this issue. he says he is for a balanced budget, but came out against the amendment. he is like that on a lot of issues. first on one side, then the other. he has been spotted in more places that elvis presley. [applause] after all these years, after all these years, congress has become pretty creative finding ways to waste your money. so, we need to be just as creative finding ways to stop them. i have a new idea. taxpayers should be given the right to check a box on their tax returns so up to 10% of their payments can go for

guest: when bob dole did not like it 15 or 20 years ago he said nobody will read that thing. there's that conversation to be had about what it means and how people relate to it. for the conservative party, a sense of a blinken wrote the platform. -- abe lincoln wrote the platform. he was active in 1856 writing the first platform. it matters to say what you are doing and care about. a lot of us, not everyone but everyone in the republican party believe words matter. many of us are men and women of the book, of the scriptures. when you put into paper and write in words what you stand for and what you are intending to be about, it matters. both parties have done this now in our political history. in america, phyllis used to teach you study where you are. we have two major parties. each parties has contrasting positions and policies and preferences. therefore politicians. other parts of the world you will see 5, 6, 7 parties with a different take on things. there platform i change. it's important. we care a lot about it. do enough people read it and study it and think about it? p

of president bush's funeral if many of you will remember that president bush and bob dole were big political rivals. they had a very nasty 1988 republican primary contest and both says some things that they probably wish they hadn't said they became huge friends. and when senator dole this is when president bush's line and stayed in the the rotunda and he insisted on standing. and saluting the casket. he's in a wheelchair now and i had an opportunity to ask him why he did this. why he insisted on standing and i can't tell you the answer without crying is that i had to stand and salute that great man. this was one of the big pictures of the funeral that went viral. no everyone. it was just such a wonderful moment, you know. lewis why so much spectacle i mean everyone passes at some time or another but why the pop and the circumstance? what's the history behind it? yeah, that's a good question because it's something that's built up over time and gene is hinting that all of these plans going into six days of a funeral. going back to the beginning with george washington with the very first presi

in 1992 people were saying george bush, ross perot or bob dole were too old to serve.ll of them vacillate live the life expectancy they were projected to have. i will also add the kind of care a president gets is so different in such a higher level than the kind of care you or i get the prognosis is probably a lot better. >> issue no they are confidentiality laws. there are hippo laws. white house physician may not be able to disclose to the public eye health issue that might be very important for the health -- for thehe public to know should that be change in the case of presidents? >> absolutely not. i think the danger of doing that is in the president would no longer trust his physician or herph physician. and then the president will not get the care they need even for something minor could be critical. as her trade off knowing more information about the president's health i would keep the president. >> us or with colors bob and san diego democrat good morning, bob. >> yes i was just listening to him and talking about keeping your stuff andrs personal. well, trump d

many of you will remember th president bush and bob dole were big political rivals. they had a very nasty 1988 republican primary contest. and both said some things that they probably wish they had not said. they became huge friends. and when senator dole, this is when the president was lying in state at the rotunda and he insisted on standing. and saluting the casket. he is in a wheelchair now. and i had an opportunity to ask him why he did this, why he insisted on standing, and i can't tell you the answer without crying. he said i had to stand and salute that great man. this was one of the big pictures of the funeral that went viral. it was such a wonderful moment. >> why so much spectacle? everyone passes at some time or another. but why in the pomp and circumstance, what is the history behind it? >> it's a good question because it is something that has built up over time. jean is hinting that going into six days of the funeral with the very first presidential funeral in 1979. george washington in his will asked for no funeral arrangement. he did not want any fune

bob dole, 37 percent said he was too old. 1984, ronald reagan in his 2nd round, 33 percent. and then 1980 reagan in his 1st campaign, 23 percent a far cry, obviously, from what people are saying, right now, manila, i want to bring you in. look for the stephanopoulos interview. the july, 4th events, more democratic senators and members of congress are turning on the president. the page continue to go way south on him. i mean, it's bad news on top of bad news on top of bad news. goodness guy, stay in the race. what do you think? yeah, rick, 1st let, let me ask you something in that jibberish moment. yeah. that bite and went off script. was he implying that he somehow did away with traffic in america? yeah. 50 down. that's what it sounded like. that's because it hasn't been by every lately to him or, or l y, or any other us city where i guarantee it was really number go ahead. mission of thought, finish or that. so within 2 business day, if you're in, at one of those things about buying, when he says something like this is disconnection, right? this guy has not had a real job i

for years, republicans like bob dole and mitt romney struggled to break through with many of those blue—collarumpers who wanted to impose moral values on issues like same—sex marriage and abortion. this trump advance ticket is much more focused on the border, focused on increasing tariffs and running against elites and brokenness and that is a message playing very well with voters that both parties need to win two lack the electoral college code. == the electoral college code. -- wokeness- — the electoral college code. —— wokeness. give me a thought on nikki haley. to her voters come with her when she takes to the stage? the atmosphere _ when she takes to the stage? iie: atmosphere here when she takes to the stage? "iie: atmosphere here in when she takes to the stage? ii2 atmosphere here in milwaukee when she takes to the stage? i““i2 atmosphere here in milwaukee is when she takes to the stage? ii2 atmosphere here in milwaukee is very much more united behind this ticket than what we are seeing on the democratic side where just 33% of voters according to the latest nbc news poll are satisfied w

everybody knew bob dole was going to lose. we know it, but it was bob dole's time. nobody was going to push him out of the race even though we knew he was going to lose. here we are 2024 and things are far different because democrats believe that the stakes are so much bigger, that the stakes are existential. so that's what we're looking at, a very united -- the most united republican party, again, in 20 years, and the most divided democratic party since 1968. >> no question it is a total split screen. and democrats have made clear they think thislit screen. and democrats have made clear they think this is perhaps the most important election in our nation's history, that they feel the stakes are that high. i've certainly heard from some democrats in recent days, some who want president biden to step aside who say, look, if the stakes are that high we can't take that chance. others, though, point to president biden as one the man who's beaten president trump before and si, look, he has a chance to make a comeback and do it again. but you're right of the confidence th

bob dole get didn't milk shakes. and they fought each other for decades in the republican party.an party that tragically is virtually unrecognizable today. and there you have these two rivals, recognizing in each other that what united them was more important than what divided them. and that's not a presidential library coffee mug statement, right? these were real people. we actually -- you know, a lot of us knew these folks. i remember being with senator dole and president bush very late. and very late in their lives. and senator dole ordered a cosmo from the bartender. and president bush, said, bob, what's in that? and he said, i don't know, but there's a lot of vodka, and bush said, okay, i'm in. you know, so it's a small thing. but they were brought together by this notion that the constitution mattered, that america mattered. and the fact that this seems nostalgic telling us more about where we are now, than i think any of us would like to. >> you know, jon, you're so right. that is a magnificent photo, bob dole, 10th division is a man badly wounded in italy. george h.w. bus

anything i've ever seen, converse convention i went to was 1996 in san diego when they nominated bob doleat was so country club republican, the first time i've seen so many black republicans come out and say i voted democrat my whole life. i'm worse off financially, this president is reaching out to my community and they were there in force. the coalition is true, more unified than the republican party than i've ever seen the budget quite a few. >> you kind of catch that, the right is kind of cool for the first time but the sensationalism and what makes the headline, but i thought would be the take away is they made trump look human for the first time since his come down the escalator and you couldn't really that label to him especially when you are watching him sit there with his granddaughter on his knee knowing biden has a granddaughter on the not do not call list. do think the humanized trump this week? >> they did and he succeeded in that. he talked about what happened it was moving. everyone was paying attention to hear his side of the story and how it went down. i think that was a

than on bob dole on the republican side. joe biden was one of the solid serious players. he didn't think he was one of the giants. the senate didn't think he was. the difference between senator biden and the rest of those people is senator biden was still growing. he grew to be a true giant in terms of senate history. the vice presidency first. that was something that wasn't apparent if you knew and worked with him in the prime of his career. he is obviously the guy that never stopped growing. there is one thing i would like to address because i know people ask all the time. this is last minute to decide not to take the nomination. why didn't he make the decision? you have to understand that a presidential campaign is a four year enterprise. minimum three years if you want to rush. he had to make this decision about running again in his first year. and he seemed strong enough to do it. if he had made the decision not to run, he would have a responsibility to party to tell them that so they could prepare for a primary season, not involving an incumbent. if he had made that

former senator and transportation secretary, heard these families, while caring for the late senator, bob doleet all these young spouses, mothers, dads, who were caring for their wounded warriors. i don't think america is aware of what's happening. most americans have no idea what's happening in these military families. less than 1% are serving in the military today. less than 1% are protecting our freedom and our security. and it's so important for us to raise awareness of their challenges and their needs and provide them support. >> dole created a foundation that commissions studies of military caregivers. the studies discovered that more than 1 million are caring for those injured during the wars since 9/11. nearly half said they were overwhelmed. >> you know, they felt guilty really that they were leaning on their children so much, needing their support, and that this was causing problems for the children. there are 2.3 million children living in the homes of wounded warriors. >> reporter: one of them is elizabeth cornelius. >> and i just need to make sure everybody's okay because if my mo

bob dole had terrible poll numbers. they knew he was going to lose.arter's nus july 4th going against reagan. they didn't get rid of carter, give it your best shot. this is the game we are playing. but then they have votes for the primary. you have to play by the rules. they have to live with the decisions they made. he's got a 32% approval rating, a 27% chance of winning reelection. but it's not really because of his age, jeanine, it's because of his policies. he's got horrible policies, and the democrats want to make it about the age and distract from the policies but he is in this position and he was in this decision before the debate because of his policies. >> judge jeanine: you know, what about, katie, the fact that it seems that obama really took to kamala harris when he said in 2013 she's the most beautiful attorney general in the country. you know, he was fawning over her and michelle was not too happy, i thought she was going to hit with a right hook. do you think there is a movement just to put kamala at the top? >> katie: there is consider

he didn't want to be near bob dole who had a disability from being a war hero.and mocked a disabled reporter. is that it, he really is just disgusted by people who are disabled? >> he does not have an affinity for folks that he deems to be lesser than him. and i think we're seeing that. not just with disabled. any group of people that he feels below him. and as i have been saying, he will use them, people, as pawns and then cast them aside when he gets the goal that he's trying to achieve. >> does that include black people? because he's pretending he would like to appeal to the african american community, but you report in your book that he is not unfamiliar with dropping the n-bomb and with the hard r. >> yeah, you're referring to a situation back when i was about 10 years old, when somebody had slashed the roof of his el dorado cadillac, and i was there and i heard him say the n-word twice. and what shocked me other than the word was the fact that he did not know who in fact slashed his roof. so he just assumed that it was somebody who was black. >> you have a

bob dole was the chair and armstrong and bill evans of delaware was one of the co-chairs. and i wrote her a letter, told her i had seen her that afternoon and if she could use any help, i was going to be in washington that summer and she replied and said, let me know when you're here. it she was the epitome of what the nixon administration, i think was trying to accomplish. and i worked in her office two years. it was two summers at the national with lords yoga, kitty, clyde ober sweater and a lady by the name of kay bailey, who became senator kay bailey hutchison of texas. it was the most thrilling experience working with those women in in a position that because they were, they were it was a heady experience it was early in nixon administration. they were determined to get much accomplished. the energy and the the substance that these women brought to the to their various positions was thrilling to be a part of. i, i went to the national convention with mrs. armstrong, her staff in 1972 and just to revert it to an earlier panel this morning. i've been to five national co

daniel patrick moynihan, teddy kennedy, bill bradley, bob dole on the republican side, and joe biden was one of the good solid, serious players, but he didn't think he was one of the giants of the senate. the senate didn't think he was one of the giants, but the difference between senator biden , and the rest of those people that i've mentioned, is that senator biden was still growing, and he grew to be a true giant in terms of senate history, the number of senators who have gone on to the presidency, the vice presidency first, and that was something that was not apparent if you knew and worked with him in the prime of his and career when he was at his most effective, when the democrats had a strong majority in the senate, but he is obviously the guy who never stopped growing. there is one thing i would like to address, because i know people ask about it all the time, very last minute for him to decide not to take the nomination. why didn't he make this decision sooner? the answer to that, you have to understand that a presidential campaign is a four year enterprise. a minimum three

who's running the second time around donald trump that wasn't true, but look at mitt romney, look at bob dole, look like all the way back, because actually running is something that is unlike any other test that exists in american politics. and honestly, none of those people that were up on that screen has been through it and they're going to have to go through it really, really fast we're living in an age where we just got this announcement basically through the political equivalent of the notes app. >> no interview. he didn't like make announcement in any form. this is we're in a different environment now. and the thing that is strikes me is that democrats, they are not in a mode yet where they have a candidate that they love. there still talking about beating donald trump. and it's still talking about what pragmatically where this person could win and where this person could not. whereas being at the ben sheehan, we heard people talking about loving their candidate on the republican. >> hold their thoughts for a moment. we're going to take another quick break very quick break, much more of

but he did not do great against bob dole and. so there's this. now, usually that's because the challenger it just did 700 primary debates and the previous president hasn't debated anyone for four years and they've been a situation where every person stands up and they enter a room which makes it hard to get back to the world debating trump hasn't debated in four years, right? so that'll be an interesting part of this very. much, very much. and like what now, are you skeptical it's going to happen. no, i actually i'm. no, i'm not. so the asking him. yeah curious. you all want to know what he thinks. i mean, you are on america with tommy on wednesday and you said you were skeptical and headlines were written everywhere. jen psaki skeptical debates. i mean, you should they think is every for mike the salesman in the greater tri-state area knows like no deals done with donald trump. yeah chuck but that's a good sign. yeah, but but they both seem to have to believe it is in their strong interest to debate. what about the details though, that the biden

bob dole has been in the senate for a million years already. they defined him as being old, but not upset with america. your campaign, in 2004 with john kerry, defined him when people don't realize how they are supposedly famous. they are not famous in america. you define john kerry as a flip-flopper. all the things you did. the obama campaign in 2012 defined mitt romney. rich guy out of touch. a very narrow window, that's part of the newness of this, four weeks. their goal is to define her as unqualified. and for this republican party that's lived in the world of racial dog whistles or fog horns for a long time, the tool in their bag, they are going to reach for that tool. they don't have another tool. what's weird about it is it is so out of step with where america is now that the question -- i have no doubt adam kinzinger has made a different argument. kevin mccarthy in this case is making it feel like we are not in willie horton 1988 anymore. it's not 1998 anymore. it's 2024. the argument in a world of women in the workforce and a world of

when clinton was in office -- by the way, i supported clip clinton back then over bob dole. clinton was a far better president than a lot of those republicans. and i think it's really time to get our participation rate back with 66, 67%. and that would jump-start the economy. and let me tell you, that would solve tons and tons of problems. a temporary payroll tax waiver and a temporary 100 expensing of all capital purchases, and you'll increase the rates of return on employment, production, output right away and, bang, that economy will jump. and and if you think 33%'s a good growth rate, wait until you see what would happen -- can i just do one last? january 1st, 1983, when the taxes finally took effect, reagan phase9 in the tax cuts, but our tax cuts took effect on january 1, 1983. until june 30th, 1984, how long is that -- is that 18 months? is that a year and a half? is that six quarters of growthsome. >> yes. >> u.s. real gdp during that six quarters grew by 12% in real terms. >> wow. >> we grew at an annual average growth rate of 8%. can chinese growth rates. we can do

in 1992, people were saying george bush were tooled, 1996, bob dole were too old to serve and all themes they were projected to have -- outlived the senses -- sentences they were projected to have. the prognosis is are probably a lot better. host: as you know, there are confidentiality laws, hip allows. a white house physician -- hepa laws. a white house physician may not be able to disclose to the public a health issue that might be very important for the public to know. do you think that should be changed in the case of presidents. dr. appel: absolutely not. i think the danger of doing that is done the president will no longer trust his physician or her physician. and then the president won't get the care they need, even for something as minor. given the trade-off of putting the president's health at risk, knowing more information about the president's health, i would rather keep the present healthy and fit for office. host: let's talk to callers and start with bob in san diego, democrat. good morning. caller: yes. i was just listening to him and he's talking about being the personal

guest: when bob dole did not like it 15 or 20 years ago he said nobody will read that thing.re's that conversation to be had about what it means and how people relate to it. for the conservative party, a sense of a blinken wrote the platform. -- abe lincoln wrote the platform. he was active in 1856 writing the first platform. it matters to say what you are doing and care about. a lot of us, not everyone but everyone in the republican party believe words matter. many of us are men and women of the book, of the scriptures. when you put into paper and write in words what you stand for and what you are intending to be about, it matters. both parties have done this now in our political history. in america, phyllis used to teach you study where you are. we have two major parties. each parties has contrasting positions and policies and preferences. therefore politicians. other parts of the world you will see 5, 6, 7 parties with a different take on things. there platform i change. it's important. we care a lot about it. do enough people read it and study it and think about it? proba
