that is the work of bob dole. as you know, the american disabilities act, that was his work that enabled that woman to pay tribute to him today here at the national cathedral. and you are seeing the -- really the pomp, the circumstance, and all of the pageantry that goes with these beautiful ceremonies here at the national cathedral. let's listen in. >> halt! >> present, arms ! >> forward, march! >> ready, step. ready, still. ready, still. ready, still. center face. >> the congregation may stand as you are able. with faith in jesus christ, we receive the body of our brother, robert joseph dole, for burial. let us pray with confidence to god, the giver of life, that he will raise him to perfection in the company of saints. deliver your servant, bob, lord christ, from all evil, and set him free from every bond that he may rest with all your saints in the eternal habitations, where, with the father and the holy spirit, you live and reign, one god, forever and ever, amen. >> let us also pray for all who mourn, that th

this week we pay tribute to bob dole. not only a decorated war hero who exemplified the very best what have it means to be an american, but also someone who set an example for others with a commitment to pragmatism, bipartisanship and governing in the best interests of the american people. after being after being wounded in combat, bob dole recuperated in our district in michigan at the percy jones army hospital. that facility no longer exists in that form, and i'm proud to say today it is the hart-dole-inouye federal center, a long lasting testament to not only his wartime service but also his connection to west michigan whereas my colleague, mr. laturner mentioned, his survival was questioned and his recuperation was long and lengthy, but also where he built friendships and ties, especially with mr. inouye, that would go on to last for over a half century. during those nearly three decades that he spent in the united states senate, senator dole was a voice for the veterans' community. his career-long efforts to help the

fifty-one years ago, during a fierce fight in italy second lieutenant bob dole went to the aid of a fallen comrade when a shell struck him down in their to bear the burden of that terrible injury from that day forward his recuperation was long and uncertain he turned adversity to advantage and pain to embody the model of the state that he loved went on to serve so well. to the stars through difficulties. citizen and soldier and legislature. he understands american people their struggles and triumphs in their dreams. those taking from the county attorney to senate majority leader and a longest-serving leader of his party in history he never forgot his roots he stood up for what he believes champion the interest of states hard-working farmers helping the disabled leading the american disabilities act playing a key role in the national commission on social security reform and always , always supporting the leadership of our country first throughout the long twilight struggle of the cold war and now with this new era we asserting indispensable roles for peace and freedom and security and prosp

much like the bob dole of of the past -- of the past, he recovered. he got to hear the gratitude of a nation, the song, "you will never walk alone," was played. i was close enough. i could see him mouth the words to the president. this is my favorite song. and i was close enough that i could hear his voice, a voice we were all familiar with, sing along, softly sing these lyrics. when you walk through a song, hold your head up high and don't be afraid of the dark. at the end of the storm, there's a golden sky and the sweet silver song of a lark. walk on through the wind, walk on through the rain. though your remains be tossed and blown, walk on, walk on with hope in your heart and you will never walk alone. you will never walk alone. for so many of us, kansans, veterans, the poor and hungry around the world, farmers, the disability community, and more, we never walk alone. we thank you, senator dole, for walking beside us, always giving us hope. we love you. we miss you. and we thank you.ficer: -- mr. braun: mr. president. the presiding officer: the se

a long time later maybe he apologized and it typically bob dole because bob dole would be strong but was also witty. as a vice presidential candidate he would not attend to be witty he would attack, attack, attack, i don't think he is comfortable in that period worked saturday when he think about him during the honor today of lying in state in the nation's capitol? >> i think for several reasons but most importantly remembered as a war hero, he defended our freedoms and liberties, and outstanding public servants, a tribute as he was somewhat disabled. attribute to what he did to help disabled people with disabilities act of 1991, or whenever it was passed. i think he came up from a life of poverty and was helping people with food stamps and medicaid. people who were downtrodden he knew their life. he respected that would lead to better life for people with lower income or in poverty. if honoring lying in state like he is going to lie in state today those are the some things i would think would be a rationale for doing it. maybe the most important thing in this day is so much partisan

bob dole himself had presidential aspirations. in fact, he stood as the running mate for gerald ford in 1976 and then some 20 years later was selected by the republicans to stand against bill clinton. now, that was not a successful campaign for bob dole. shortly after that he retired from politics but he certainly remained a key figure in his party. there was a fiscally conservative, in terms of financial matters, he was a very stalwart in terms of his beliefs, and a stoic figure. i think it is fair to say that about him, especially as far as his own disabilities were concerned, very badly injured in the second world war. he was a key figure in getting the 1990 americans with disability act passed, that is a law that safeguards people in the workplace with disabilities. he will be remembered for that. i've been speaking to donald critchlow, a professor in american history at arizona state university. he said bob dole had an unlikely political career after being severely injured in the second world war as a young man. he barely sur

god bless the great bob dole. debbie wasserman schultz wrote in part, quote: our country could use more like him right about now. legislators on both sides hope that bob dole's legacy will encourage reaching across the aisle and civility in congress. >> we see the world differently, you know, we're blessed to be americans, and we should treat the each other that way. >> the way in which he led is something that we need to reflect on today, without a doubt. >> reporter: senator susan collins echoed many with this, quote: senator bob dole defined the term the greatest generation. on that point in his book "one soldier's story," former senator dole expressed this, quote: they are the greatest generation. arthel? arthel: indeed. alexandria hoff, thanks, alex. the passing of a giant, former senator and presidential candidate bob dole dead at 98. it's my woke-up-like-this migraine medicine. it's ubrelvy. one dose can quickly stop my migraine in its tracks within 2 hours. don't take with strong cyp3a4 inhibitors. most co

bob dole, a giant of the u.s. senate and a 1996 republican presidential nominee has died at the age of 98. his family issued a statement saying dole passed away this morning in his slope. dole had announced in february that he was being treated for advanced lung cancer. his american journey took him from the plains of kansas to the battlefields of world war ii and to capitol hill. there he became one of the most powerful politicians of the 20th century. wolf blitzer takes a look back at the life and legacy of bob dole. >> bob dole was the kind of politician you'll have a hard time finding in washington these days. much of the country only saw the cartoon image hatchet man. >> senator dole has richly earned his reputation as a hatchet man tonight. >> sharp-tongued partisan. >> in the election promise from my opponents. >> pundits who didn't know better labeled him mean-spirited, but the man wasn't defined by grouchiness or gridlock. in the senate where he spent the bulk of his political life, dole became a master a

dole, because bob dole could be strong but he was also witty. as a vice presidential candidate, he didn't tend to be very witty, just attack. i don't think he was comfortable. senator grant -- host: senator grassley, what do you think about him getting the honor of lying in state? guest: i think for several reasons but most importantly being wounded, a war hero, defending our country and freedom and liberties, and outstanding public servant, attribute as he was somewhat disabled, a tribute to what he did to help disabled people through the disability acts of 1991 or whatever it was past -- whenever it was passed. he came up from a life of poverty and was helping people with food stamps, medicaid, downtrodden. he knew their life and respected that and founded public policies that would lead to better life for people that are lower income or in poverty. he never forgot his roots. if i was to honor him, put him in state like he's going to lie in state today, those are some of the things i would think are right for doing it. in this day of so much p

symbolizing the service of bob dole. he was a world war ii veteran who was badly injured, and stayed with him the rest of his life. speaking today is going to be speaker pelosi, leader mcconnell, leader schumer and president biden, who served with senator dole for 24 hours in the senate. it's going to be a short ceremony. just about 45 minutes. and after that time, then members of congress, staff and friends and family can come and visit his casket in the rotunda until 8:00 p.m. tonight, but we can expect to hear some themes during the speeches today including civility, humanity and bipartisanship, things they will say represented senator dole. aaron? >> robert, i know you worked for bob dole -- i'm sorry. richard, you worked for bob dole, but you also were friends for decades. what should we be remembering about your friend today? >> oh, gosh. there's so much. i look at that picture in the rotunda. of course, the memory that comes back immediately is just a couple years ago now, if you recall when president, the first p

life of senator bob dole. an incredible example of a lifetime of selfless service to our nation and it is fitting that we're here, surrounded by this world war ii moment that senate dole did so much to build. a memorial dedicated to 16 million americans who dawned the cloth of our nation and fought in world war ii and almost a half a million who paid the ultimate sacrifice in the defense and liberties that we enjoy every day. senator dole's commitment to this democracy was unwavering, a democracy that he died to defend and he died just recently in order to give his life for this country. he almost died in world war ii, he had a life of service defending this democracy and we honor him today for his entire life. senator dole began his career serving the united states on the battlefields of europe during world war ii as so many here know. 80 years ago this week, on 7 december, 1941, the japanese launched a surprise attack on what we now know as a day of infamy, an attack on our fleet at pearl harbor. senator dol

bob dole has passed away at age 98. we whensed a few minutes ago -- mentioned a few minutes ago elizabeth dole confirming that he died in his sleep. a lot of people remember him running for president in 1996. he ran for vp in 1976 with jerry ford. fox news congressional correspondent chad pergram joins us by phone. he was senate minority leader and majority leader for so long. what can you recall about his style on the hill. >> when you talk about the top 10 lieders in the senate and -- leaders in the senate and senators of all time you have to put bob dole in that category. he was also a chair of the republican national committee. i remember when he certainly -- when bill clinton was elected and bob dole was the minority leader in the senate, he says i'm going to be the person who is going to show him around and he said that meaning i'm somebody who knows my way around washington and things that you want to do will have to come through me. one of the things i remember the most about bob dole was when daniel lenowaw pas

bob dole. bob dole. did that. he never forgot where he came from and i'll never forget what he said to our colleagues about the effort for the king holiday. i'll quote, he said, no first-class democracy can treat people like second-class citizens. no first-class democracy can treat people like second-class citizens. bob didn't hate government. knew the people needed it the most were the people most in need. he wanted the government to work. to work for folks like him, who came up the hard way. just give everybody a chance, joe, just a chance. during the depression, bob's parents moved into the basement of their three-room -- not three-bedroom -- their three-room home in russell, kansas, so they could rent out both the upstairs. bob understood hardship, he had known hardship. never forgot it. never forgot the people as well who sent him to washington, people from russell, from kansas. bob was a man who always did his duty. who lived by a code of honor. almost seems to strange to say that today. he lived by a code o

now that honor bestowed on bob dole, 98 years old. survivor of just horrendous wounds in world war ii, but went on to become a lion of the senate. we will bring you the ceremony there as it begins, and as we noted earlier, president biden will be making comments in the next hour. >>> also new this morning, rapper travis scott speaking out for the first time since that chaotic concert in houston. the astroworld festival. ultimately ten people died, that crowd surged toward the stage. well, scott appeared on the morning radio show "the breakfast club" discussing the tragedy that has now led to multiple lawsuits against him, other performers and the concert's organizers. scott addressed criticism he continued his performance, despite the presence of emergency vehicles in the crowd. >> cnn's rosa flores has been covering. one of the key questions here has been was he aware at all, was it communicated to him what was going on in the crowd as people were beginning to be injured? what did he say? >> reporter: you know, about that point, jim,

bob dole understood the importance of compromise. compromise is the oxygen of democracy, and bob dole provided a lot of oxygen over those years he was in senate leadership. >> and i think of one moment when he got the medal of freedom from former president bill clinton. bill clinton had just defeated him a few months before in a hard-fought 1996 campaign. this is a bit of bob dole when he just had been awarded that medal. >> i robert j. dole -- [ laughter ] do solemnly swear -- sorry, wrong speech. [ laughter ] but i had a dream that i would be here this historic week receiving something from the president, but i thought it would be the front door key. >> so alan simpson, that was a moment, you were probably in the audience that day. >> well, the best line was he said, you know, i'm not worried about what happened to me. he said i sleep like a baby. i wake up every two hours and cry. he had hundreds of those things, and he loved his country and gave so much. but humor is the universal solvent against the abrasive elements of life. my

bob dole's abiding legacy. susan, you've covered bob dole for decades, first in 1980 and speaking to him a final time days before his 90s birthday. in your legacy, what will be the legacy of bob dole's time in washington? >> i've been interviewing bob dole for 40 years. he was the same character when i interviewed him the first time in 1980 as he was two days before his birthday this july. you know, his legacy is one of a kind of political service that seems a little lost now. he was definitely a republican, a partisan republican, stood up for richard nixon to the final days of his presidency, voted for donald trump twice, but he was also someone who worked across party lines on things like social security and the americans with disabilities act and most of all on programs to help veterans like himself whose lives had changed. >> susan, you write about how bob dole saw the evolution of the gop. i'm going to read a little bit of it now. in his final years he was at odds with the direction of the republican party

bob dole had the same chief hero for all of his adult life. his fellow son of kansas, the general and president, dwight eisenhower. he didn't just like ike, he idolized him and the speech in 96 he saved the second to last quotation from abilene kansas. it would have been his 89th sbirthday. he explained america had gotten lucky. when we were thirsty for leadership we turned to a man from kansas, genuine hero that embodied in his own life the finest qualities of the american people yet never forgot the disease of property or the scourge of personal suffering bob was eloquent. but now that our friends 98 amazing years have come to a e close, we can say with certainty that eisenhower isn't the only be reached the standards. not only general eisenhower but also second lieutenant general was a hero from kansas who set aside the nation's thirst to leadership. i want to close where he closed 25 years ago. i'm using on both his past and his future the colleagues final quote was from carl steinberg. yesterday the sun dropped in the west. i tell you the

bob dole was eventually sent home to kansas in a body cast. he endured years of surgery, infections, rehabilitation, in relentless pursuit to walk again and he did walk again. he learned how to write with his left hand. his right arm remaining paralyzed. bob never forgot the people who helped him along the way. a doctor in chicago, or the medical professionals in italy. they made it possible to serve later on in the elective office. even though senator dole endured more than his share of hardship, it surely didn't take away his sense of humor. anybody who knew him knew that there was hardly a speech or a conversation where something witty wasn't said. he was a master of witty one-liners and they could diffuse a red-hot par sanship. >> and he had a no nonsense charm. he was able to fine-- find with all alike. in the finance committee, he and house speaker tip o'neill forged bipartisan concensus to rescue social security and here we are 35 years later, still rescued, but still in need of some help. less than 10 years later, he helped broker the

it's what bob dole wanted. i'm not sure it's what a lot of americans want right now. >> josh, i loved reading your piece in politico about bob dole. it took me back to 1996, kind of getting the inside track as to what was going on, and i especially loved anecdotely the fact that he used to mess with you a little bit and actually tried to get you arrested to a certain extent, because of your terrible driving. >> yeah. that was funny. that was one of my first experiences with him up in new hampshire, chasing around his campaign. and we had to sort of hopscotch to events. we were trying to race out of one and get to the next one before he got there. and eventually he started teasing me about being a dangerously fast driver, and he tried to have one of the governor state troopers up there throw me in jail. but i agree with michael about the bipartisanship. there's just no question that dole is from another era. he used to get deals and what was that politicians did at that time. at the same time, i do think that th

>> you know, what was interesting about the era that bob dole was in congress, there were also most members, who had served in the military. 75 percent of the members of congress in the early '70s had some level of military service. and i think there was something really important about that era because they could, as tamed said, fight on the floor, fight over issues, even get into, you know, prettee acerbic back and forth but fundamental fundamentally understand thed were on the same team, i may have a blue scrersee or red jersey, one of the powerful moments of bob dole's life, especially his later life, that in a way, liberal democrat from hawaii, also served in world war ii, also was grievously injured,

bob dole was eventually sent him to kansas in a body cast. heio endured years of surgery, infections, rehabilitation and relentless pursuit to walk again. and he did walk again. he learned how to write with his left hand, his right arm remaining paralyzed. bob never forgot the people who helped him along the way, a doctor in chicago or the medical professionals in italy. they made it possible to serve later on in the elective office. even though senator dole endured more i than his share of hardship, it certainly did not segue sense of humor. anyone who knew him knew there was hardly a speech or a conversation when something witty was not said. he was a master of witty one-liners and they can diffuse a red-hot partisanship with a single whip. as republican senate majority leader, he finessed thorny policy issues with a no nonsense charm. he was able to find consensus with allies and adversaries alike. when senator dole became chairman of the senate finance committee, he and house speaker tip o'neill, forge a bipartisan consensus to rescue soc

dole does this and bob dole does that. that's not something bob dole does. >> reporter: dole showed that sense of humor years later, when i interviewed him for the last time in 2016. i covered your presidential campaign. i got a chance to cover you a bit in the senate and always have enjoyed talking to you. >> yeah, i wish you would have made it possible for me to win the presidency instead of just covering me. >> reporter: among the many people issuing tributes to bob dole today is president biden. who knew him for a half a century. he called him a war hero, and the greatest of the greatest generation. and said, he was also a friend i could look to for trusted guidance, or for a humorous line at just the right moment to settle frayed nerves. linsey? >> known as a giant of the senate. jonathan, thank you. >>> and there is much more ahead on "world news tonight" this sunday. the winter weather alert impacting millions tonight. rob marciano is standing by with the track. >>> and the urgent rescue effort after the deadly volc

it was a moment of unity that bob dole certainly would have relished. president biden and dole's daughter, robin, were among those who delivered eulogies. >> we serve together for 25 years. we disagreed, but we were never disagreeable with one another. not one time that i can think of. i found bob to be a man of principle, pragmatism, and enormous integrity. he came into the arena with certain guiding principles that began with devotion to country, to fair play, to decency. to dignity, to honor. to literally attempting to find the common good. >> i will miss him so much. i think i will still talk to him every night. i love you, dad, and i promise, you will never walk alone. >> after that service, the dole family led by his beloved widow, elizabeth, went to the world war r memorial here in washington, the memorial that bob dole had championed. there, the actor, tom hanks, spoke of dole's legacy as a wounded war hero, who fought to make sure that his world war ii comrades were never forgotten. >> but it was bob dole who willed this memorial into place. he

bob dole and mrs. dole came and i had to escort them, and there were rumors he was going to run for president, so i leaned into him and asked him, are you going to run for president? and he leaned down and said, yeah, are you going to help me? and i said, yes! it was so exciting. when you said, you know, he just wasn't wired ideologically, that came racing back to me because that's the person i remembered and met. >> woodruff: and when president biden today -- i mean, made what to me sounded like a direct appeal to, reminding everybody you can't have democracy without compromise, but, david, is this a by gone era, we can't bring it back? >> i think it's in cycles. we have been in polarized areas in history and people just get sick of it. i think people will eventually get sick of a semifunctional government. you think of bob dole, the disabilities act, all sorts of pieces of legislation he worked through, the veterans affairs stuff, the '86 tax reform, which was probably the peak of legislative craftsm

so what kind of a figure was bob dole in american politics? i looked back at his life with former republican strategist rick wilson. bob dole is the type of man that has vanished from american politics in many ways. he was a person who dedicated himself to public service from the moment the us was attacked in world war ii. he served heroically in italy and was wounded to a degree that would have killed most ordinary men and left most of them on the sidelines, but bob dole came back from it, he built a career as a public servant dedicated to this country, from the kansas state house all the way of running for vice president and president of the country, and he was a man who believed in that old and vanished america, where we put partisanship aside and came together to push for things that were good for the country and notjust the political interests of the moment. i understand that public speaking wasn't exactly his strength as a politician, but at the same time, he spent a decade as the top republican in the us senate. what legacy does he leav

so this is a thank you note to bob dole. that's what this memorial is all about and a thank you note to the greatest generation which he personified. >> bill: thank you so much. amen to chad, brit and others stand by. this will be quite a ceremony from the national cathedral. today we recognize an american hero, his final resting place. the ceremony will get underway in a matter of moments from washington when it comes to autism, finding the right words can be tough. finding understanding doesn't have to be. we can create a kinder, more inclusive world for the millions of people on the autism spectrum. go to autismspeaks.org. no one can deliver your mom's homemade short ribs. that's why instacart helps deliver the ingredients. and you add the love. ♪♪ all the gifts you really, really, really, can't wait to unwrap. ♪♪ joy. fully. ♪♪ entresto is the number one heart failure brand prescribed by cardiologists and has helped over one million people. it was proven superior at helping people stay alive and out of the ho

host: do think bob dole will lie in the capital? guest: i think there will be a memorial to him, the six inches mean very little to the public whether it is lying in state or whether in the senate chamber or the house chamber or the rotunda. i cannot help but think that there would be some sort of remembrance of him be recognized as a casket in some sort of honor in the capitol building. host: this happens to be a busy week on capitol hill and weeks to come, what would that ceremony, would that mean for the senate's schedule. take us through what things are looking like and how things can change in the coming days and weeks. guest: we have a very busy few weeks heading into the christmas holidays. one thing congress was able to take off of the list and not have to worry about was funding the government. they found the president had a short term and continuing resolution to keep the government operating at the same funding levels until february. there is no taking shutdown clock -- ticking shutdown clock. both chambers would like to

is all of this also kind of part of the political legacy hero bob dole? >> what was interesting about the era bob dole was in congress, most members who had served in the military, 75% of the members of congress in the early 1970's had some level of military service. i think there was something really important about that era because they could fight on the floor, fight over issues, even get into pretty acerbic back-and-forth with one another, but they fundamentally understood they were on the same team. probably one of the most powerful moments i remember a bob dole's life, was when dan in a way, senator from hawaii, very liberal democrat from hawaii, also served in world war ii, also was grievously injure, they shared a really special bond and bob dole was in his wheelchair, it was hard for him to get to the service in the rotunda where he was lying in repose, and he did everything he could do stand up and salute him. that could change if we get back to this idea that we are all serving together as americans. one interesting to statistic, even though th

the irony of it was not lost on bob dole. but instead of bitterness, he brought the laughs. >> i, robert j. dole -- [ laughter ] >> -- do solemnly swear -- sorry, wrong speech. but i had a dream that i would be here this historic week receiving something from the president. but i thought it would be the front door key. >> he always had great comic timing. in a tweet today, former president bill clinton said, quote, bob dole spent his entire life serving people from his heroism in world war ii. after all he gave to the war, he didn't have to, but he did. he has inspired generations to come. bob dole, the member of the greatest generation who embodied american greatness was 98. >>> i'm jim acosta. phil mattingly takes over after a quick break as you look at the flag half staff in memory of bob dole. good night. more brain performance? yes, please! neuriva. think bigger. the living room slash yoga shanti slash regional office slash... and this is the basement slash panic room. maybe what your family needs is a vacation home slas

garrett, president biden served alongside bob dole, knew him well. he'll be among the speakers at today's ceremony. what are we expecting? >> i expect we'll hear from the president, similar to remarks to what we heard yesterday, in which he lionized former senator dole as someone who is absolutely a fierce partisan. someone who is going to fight for what he believes, what his party believes, but someone that puts democracy and the country first. and dole really exemplified that ideal of service, of political service, from the time he was in the military, all the way through his congressional career and long afterwards. but i think it's the idea that you can be so fiercely partisan, but set those things aside to put country first that will be a thematic element we heard from the president yesterday and again today. >> there is a lot to say about bob dole, his service in world war ii, his time in congress, but also about how he continued to serve long after he left political life. what would you expect to hear today? >> i think praise of dole as not on

bob dole knew he was lucky to make it home. in the decade he spent in public service after sustaining his injuries, he dedicated much of his life to ensuring that our veterans, especially our fallen veterans during world war ii like my uncle bob, were honored and remembered for their sacrifices. my uncle bob was my mom's youngest brother, one of those sailors who wasn't lucky enough to make it home. he died at the age of 19 in 1944 -- -- during an attack on the western pacific on his aircraft carrier the u.s.s. one. his body was never recovered. his memory lives on thanks in no small part to senator bob dole's work to establish the world war ii memorial on the national mall. for that my family, the patton family on my mother's side are forever grateful. though they never met bob dole like so many americans of the greatest generation, he understood that my uncle bob made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our nation and for the preservation of our democracy. and that's why senator bob dole spent so much of his time raising mon
