senator dole had the greatest regard for senator mccain. senator dole wore the p.o.w. bracelet never having known john mccain when he was a p.o.w. but by happenstance chose to wear a bracelet in honor of and respect for, being concerned about a p.o.w. in vietnam. 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

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

. >> and the fact that he worked through the injuries the way bob dole did and john kerry is another war hero who came through that and having lost his leg and still went to the senate. but bob dole living every day of his life with the real pain and just disability and still operating on such a high level. the highest level of american politics. >> absolutely. we all know the inspiring, sad at times story, of bob dole's recovery best told by the great author, the late richard ben kramer and the two men you mentioned dole and mccain both had to put their lives back together. and that tarted with putting their bodies back together. the story of mccain's injuries starting with his ejection, and starting with the fact that he wasn't supposed to survive that day or that shoot-down. no one shooting at him that day in hanoi was trying to wound him. they were trying to blow him out of the sky. surviving that fall, that canopy -- that ejection, surviving being dragged out of the water and beaten up and then all of the horrible things that happened to him in captivity, including but not limit

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?

i worked for senator dole in the '96 campaign. traveled across the country with him for the last six months of the campaign. and at one point, and i was writing speeches on the plane, and at one point during the campaign, headquarters -- the senator traveled all the time. headquarters would get in touch with me. well, we have a policy address, and it wasn't written by anyone on staff, i don't think. i think it was done by a consultant. but at any rate, we have this policy address that we want the senator to deliver sometime this week. it's really important. they told me this because it was my job as a speechwriter on the plane to present this to the senator and tell him it was really important that he deliver this speech. so i did, and i gave it to him. i said, well, they want you to do this speech this week and it's important. and dole looks at it and he makes no commitment to me about what his intentions are. and he looks at it and then i thought, well, he'll let me know what he thinks. well, he didn't. i get another call from h

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 funeral, just not being able to get through his eulogy. so 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 sordidbalanced by th that in 1947 as a young congressman, he goes to washington, he makes sort of a good impression and the republicans who have been 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. 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, we'll be pouring money down a rat hole to help the undeserving in europe and tax the people in the

he was bob dole, you won't be surprised to learn, liked people. he had been in politics just 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 is if text is decently written, it's written as the spoken word. it doesn't have any kind of quirks that would be 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, what's going to be comfortable. >> yeah and related to that is, i worked for people, bill and hillary clinton are both excellent extemporaneous people. so what's your value added. your value added is finding that nugget or finding the story that can sort of help them a you say get into the speech. or finding the historical anecdote that will frame whatever policy you're proposing or your visiting a country like where the u.s. relation, the history of u.s. relations here. americans love bi

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

you will see bob dole at nixon's funeral, not being able to get through his eulogy. the same guy who told the story about see no evil, hear no evil, and evil, here he is breaking down at nixon's death. the same nixon who is noted in our history is the only whiteent to resign, the house tapes, is balanced by the fact that as a young congressman, he goes to washington, he makes sort of a good impression and the republicans in control of the house that you decide to put him on the special delegation that is going to europe to see if 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. his greatrry was mentor and perry writes him, "we 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 will be extremely careful in not getting too far involved in this bungling hinking." that is what republicans in orange county are telling richard nixon

john: i worked for senator dole in 1996. i traveled across the country with him for the last six months of the campaign. at one point, i was writing speeches on the plane. at one point during the campaign, headquarters would get in touch with me, we have a policy address, it was not written by anyone on the staff i , it was done by a consultant. at any rate, we had this policy address that we want the senator to deliver sometime this week. it is really important. they told me this because it was my job as the speechwriter on the campaign plane to present this to the senator and tell him that it was really important that he deliver the speech. so, i did, i gave it to him and said they want you to do this speech this week. it is important. dole looks at it, he makes no commitment to me about what his intentions are. he looks at it and i thought, well, he will let me know what he thinks. he didn't. i get another call from headquarters a day later asking when he would give the speech. i said i don't think there is going to be an

i checked to see senator dole and orson swindle who was a fantastic human being.ohn's conduct and that campaign was phenomenal. he had a choice to make on whether he would attack and go negative on what turned out to be the first african-american president pete he said no, that is not how history will remember us. we will conduct ourselves with anna. i never saw john mccain lose his temper over how you did your job. if you relate, any of those things that are the human nature. they did not bother him. it was a matter of honor. >> neil: you did see him lose his temper. you saw him lose his temper on other issues. >> yes, his tempers are volcanic and on the record. it is what caused it. if you made a human error and you are trying, that did not bother him. if you went back on your word, if you had crossed principle, if you had this honored the greater cause, he was going to be mad about it. there was were great lessons to teach. >> neil: i think he said later that once that happens, it would have been very hard for him to get elected, no matter what. i am looking at

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

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

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, and my press secretary and we had p

thank you, senator dole. i know that you and john mccain had similar paths. you both served in the military, and you both served as lawmakers and you both became nominees for the republican party for president. as two of the only people to get that close, do you feel content with your contribution and do you think that senator mccain ultimately did? >> now, what was the question? >> given your parallel paths that you and senator mccain had, i just wonder what your perspective is on whether he felt satisfied about his contribution to this country, and as a public servant as a senator and a republican presidential nominee. >> in my book he gets an a-plus. you know, he was a different kind of o -- kind of person because he had been tortured for over five years, and refused to go when he could have gone, because other prisoners had been there longer. he was that kind of person all of his life. when john mccain would come up to me and say, old, pal, what is going on today? and he was just a nice guy. we got along fine. never had a problem that i can think of excep

during 96 hours we spent straight, bob dole went straight. dole was going to lose but the mccain.n the plane with him was he had a bowling alley at 2:00 a.m. where dole lost his voice and mccain had to provide that voice. the points he made about service and sacrifice in praising that, it was just extraordinary. who has the ability, the standing to be that voice that is an owe question. >> yet i think you look at his concession speech with he's celebrating that the country had reach, he's conceding defeat, he was a remarkable man. >> brennan: we will all be watching as he is honored this week. thank you for sharing your stories about him. thank all of you for joining us this morning. we'll be back in a moment. at least we don' sounds homenersnsurance. will help me relax a bit. geico helps with homeowners insurance? good to know. feeling better? i love you, pookie bear. [parrot 1] i love you, pookie bear. [parrot 2] i love you, pookie bear! [parrots] i love you, pookie bear!!! get to know geico and see how easy homeowners and renters insurance

>> reporter: where he doles out his brand of financial discipline to people desperately in need. >> whyit that americans seem to have such a problem with debt? >> debt's not the problem, it's the symptom. debt is the result of being disorganized, immature, buying things they can't afford to impress people they don't really like. >> reporter: the average american has over $6,000 in credit card. collegegrs, nearly $30,000 in student loan debt. in a year that has seen historic levels of household debt in the u.s., ramsay is an anti-debt crusader using his platform to help americans become debt free. >> you do not need to be going on vacation, you do not need to be eating out. you need to be on beans and rice, rice and beans. >> where do you think america is right now when it comes to finances? >> i don't think there's an overarching theme. there's pockets that are doing worse. there's pockets that are having the berls years of their lives. there's lots of good things happening. i think all of us, particularly those of us in media, we're experiencing and watching and walking in this toxicit

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 and we go to all of his district. his district was so big you

that's well after he would have worked for ronald reagan or bob dole. to answer the president's question about why didn't anybody bring this up? >> that's another question the president was tweeting about. why didn't anybody tell me. that's the gist of one of his tweets. why didn't anybody tell me about the bad stuff that manafort allegedly did. >> really? just pick up the phone and call somebody or ask him or ask anybody. what happened to hiring only the best people? >> i think it wasn't a secret the circles with which and in this operated in in washington, d.c. if you look through disclosures to the extent he made them and sometimes that turned out be a problem legally, it turns out, he wasn't representing necessarily fortune 500 companies. but in lobbying or influence pedling that operate in the darker areas of d.c. some of his partners, if you talk to anybody who covered k street or covered paul manafort or roger stone coming up, any of those guys, there was an understanding of the place that they were operating here that could potentially lead him

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

my name is elizabeth dole and i work at steve.

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

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

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

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

what she has doled out. >> it is a cut out as we say in the world. you get somebody who is not you. saying i will give you 15 k. he wanted plausible deniability. >> lara trump has been involved in the campaign for a long time. >> can she say, it is not her money. >> for trump it is always a family affair. >> his daughter out there doling out 15 k a month. >> of course they are trying to buy her silence. this is a family affair. and you have seen in lara trump, she has learned the need of doing this. it happened and if you don't have anything to hide, you don't have to pay people off to keep them quiet. for starters, the trump administration could try to follow ethics laws and try to avoid stepping into controversy every other day. because they can't, they are running around buying people's silence. and the other interesting thing about what she said, is she never denied that she made an offer of money. she simply said the tape was a fraud and left it at that. and that she was disappointed. but haven't stepped back from the idea that they put money on the table. and nothing else they

i remember when daniel inouye, bob dole got to know him when they convalesced in a military hospital. from this wheelchair and walked over with the assistance of his wife and elizabeth dole saying he didn't want his buddy dan inouye to see him that way. guy: chad pergram live for us on capitol hill. the passing of john mccain has brought lawmakers together from both sides of the aisle. but that ceasefire bipartisanship is expected to end tuesday when the confirmation hearings get under way for brett kavanaugh. both sides are gearing up for a bruising conflict. if kavanaugh does fall short with republicans he could still conceivably get over the top with help from democrats in red states. vice president pence could always cast the deciding vote in the event of a tie. we don't know what will happen. but the kavanaugh hearings have all the makings of a prison riot. shannon bream joins us. tell us as we look ahead toward tuesday, what are the major sparks that might fly. what are the battle lines being drawn and the flashpoints we can keep an eye on. reporter: the key senators are pressur

they went there to a certain expect they were on the dole, the trump dole. >> joined by ruth marcus.ard mike murphy on a podcast recently. he said he likened the campaign trump put together, the island of misfit toys. making the point that we are hearing here. wouldn't have found a home in a lot of cases in other political campaigns. >> i have a very vivid memory of that when then candidate trump came to the "washington post" editorial board in march of the election list. he unveiled his list of foreign policy advisors. none of us really heard of. they included carter page and george papadopoulos. how did that one work out? >> that is interesting too, that has led to controversy, speculation and investigation and it ends up being a defense that you heard offered by trump allies that is essentially, hey, the guy put no effort into this. that ends up being the defense of carter page and george papadopoulos. essentially saying trump didn't care, he wanted names on the page. >> he did care in the sense that the people that he has surrounded himself with, i think tim is exactly right. the

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

becky, senator robert dole this weekend spoke to cnn and said this about how senator mccain felt about his staff. take a listen. >> you are no better than your staff. he had a great staff. and he loved his staff. there was never any doubt about john mccain's honesty or integrity. you didn't have to agree with him, but you would listen to him, because he made a lot of sense. >> becky, senator dole is talking about you and many of your colleagues that worked with senator mccain. as a staffer, what is your response to his loss? how important was senator mccain's staff to him? >> i mean, it's hard to actually put into words. he inspired such loyalty and closeness and such a family atmosphere. if you look at the average tenure on capitol hill for congressional staffers, they tend to turn over not infrequently. senator mccain inspired some of the most loyal long-serving staff members, i believe, in probably the history of the u.s. senate. people that served him 10, 15, 20 years, because we believed in what he was standing for. he gave us the opportunity to really stand right next to hip and

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
