mr. dole's generation is not just a difference of ideology.rent generation refuses to do that. members want to dismantel government. and we were saying that even john mccain has been saying that. and, you know, you just wonder now that these elder statesmen are obviously at the end of their careers, what really is going to happen with the republican party. the mulish behavior of republicans has lead to the creation of the sequester blocked action on economic growth and climate change, prevented reasonable changes on gun restrictions. mr. dole should remind his party that they are hurting the past and damaging the future. i don't know who he would tell. >> i'm not talking to you. [♪breaking news theme♪] >> stephanie: independent -- my friend has republican parents, and she you know what we call your kind of republican party? and he said what? and she said a democrat. >> now we do. >> stephanie: this is part of what jim said yesterday, obama's health plan was bob dole's plan. so it an indicator of how far right the republican party has moved. >>

ailing mr. dole was recently released from walter reed military center so longed to see passed. they completely burned him very publicly and that was the last time that we saw him. >> certainly no longer his republican party and again fits into this u.n. agenda 21. this fear that international law and u.n. law is going to supersede american standards and we're all going to be governed by some body that we don't have, direct representatives to. >> peter: 1-866-55-press is our phone number. remember, we are on twitter. so is igor. he's at igorvolsky on twitter. we'll take a quick break. we'll be right back. >> announcer: radio meets television. the "bill press show." now on current tv. gets that i actually mean it. michael shure: this show is about being up to date so a lot of my work happens by doing the things that i am given to doing anyway. joy behar: you can say anything here. jerry springer: i spent a couple of hours with a hooker joy behar: your mistake was writing a check jerry springer: she ne

your response to mr. dole?talking to 50,000 people about what we can do better in presidential elections. look, we cannot be closed. we have a race in new jersey, virginia, we have a good shot nup massachusetts with gomez, we have to win the hos ause and th senate. i think closing means doing reflection and making big time kbromps and getting better at presidential elections. in the mid terms, i expect to do well, it's a matter of coming back bigger and stronger as a national matter in 3-1/2 years. in the meantime, we have big time work to do. >> gretchen: all right, a never ending process that political process. >> right. >> gretchen: head of the rnc, thank you much, have a good week. >> all right. >> gretchen: actor rickie schroeder learning what it means to be army strong. he is taking on the toughest challenges but first on the couch with us, and let's check in with martha for what is coming up at the op the hour. >> good morning everyone, is there a rush to fill some very important vacant court seats? twha
