bob dole says he accepted the apology. he said he got a lengthy apology from greg orman and this is a done, over situation. is he right? >> i don't think that's right. gregg who areman is now saying he hasn't apologized. the whole incident has been an indication of how out of touch my opponent is. he insulted bob dole who is an american icon. a kansas icon. i don't know how he could say something like that. you call bob dole a clown then you have a lengthy statement that goes into a political diatribe. all he had to do is just apologize to bob. he didn't apologize to bob dole. martha: we are hearing the opposite and bob dole said he accepted it. >> i hope that's the case. because basically calling bob dole a clown then waiting to apologize for not apologize regardless of what the story is. that's going to follow him throughout his whole career regard los of whether he's in politics which he won't be. here is greg orman the guy who insulted bob dolby calling him a clown. it's absolutely outrageous. he ought to clarify it if

yesterday, orman was asked about the bus tour on which former republican robert dole, bob dole was on board and the 1996 presidential candidate. he ran for president three times. when orman was asked about the bus tour, he referred to it as a clown car. he didn't remember being called a clown. the last couple days could get a lot of negative attention. even by democrats, he's -- he's an elderly gentleman and a huge part of the republican party. it's something people will talk about until election day. neil? >> i'm curious on orman. he says he's not a fan. do you take that as face value as many republicans do not? could they be alienating orman should he win all but encouraging him in chasing him to the other side? >> reporter: the first object is to beat him. he said he will caucus with whatever party has the majority. that raises a lot of questions on both sides. kansas is one of the races to watch. we had polls that came out that show how close this is. democrats that identify three battleground states are must wins. they included iowa. it's a one-point race. they included north car

and in vietnam, unlike korea, charlie rangel and world war ii, bob dole, you didn't have those like we had them in vietnam. i've always talked about one of the main differences between those of us who served in vietnam and those who served in other wars, we knew there was an end. at the end of 12 months if you were an enlisted man or 13 if you were a marine, you left. you'd come back, but you knew you would go home. what the world war ii veterans that had to deal with in korea, they were uncertain. there was great uncertainty, especially world war ii, as to how this would all end. that was as much on the personal side of this, the big difference between those who served in vietnam and the other wars. so we all desperately looked forward to that r and r, which incidentally we did take about two months later and tom and i went to hawaii where we met my grandmother and my mother and my brothers and more aunts than i ever knew i had. the aunts all had to come and cheer on the war effort. and i know most of those women were not relatives, but nonetheless, my mother let them come. it was nic

that really was considered an offense to bob dole. why? he, of course, was the former senate majority leader former presidential candidate. a son of kansas a kansas icon. and to say anything interpreted as disrespectful to bob dole is questionable in kansas. that's one of the little kind of skirmishes on the campaign trail. there's also been a battle over another beloved figure, and that's the coach at kansas state. the roberts campaign is running an ad that includes bill snyder endorsing pat roberts. organman and others are saying what's going on with that? because the university says they're not supposed to be making endorsements. that's bubbled up. the biggest issue, two other guys in this race. the president of the united states and the senate majority leader. roberts says if voters want more of those policies vote for greg orman because he would be more likely to align with them. greg orman is saying washington is broken, don't send the same person back after three terms. so it's an interesting race to watch because it's got all of th

and when newt gingrich and bob dole took the reins of power in 1994 and had very much the notion they were going to work together in sync and force bill clinton to his knees, within three months, it was gingrich saying privately and then publicly that he had far more trouble with bob dole than he did with clinton and called dole the tax collector of the welfare state, which improved relations, s you can imagine. we're not going to see the same name calling between boehner and mcconnell, but it's not going to be that much easier for things to move smoothly through the house and then through the senate, including many of those bills that passed the house the last time. one comment -- we haven't talked much about presidential consequences. this election was very good for hillary clinton, if she decides to run, not only because it puts a crimp in the potential campaign of my former student, martin o'malley, who isn't going to be helped by the fact that it was his administration and lieutenant governor who were repudiated in a big way in that state, but i think democrats now are shocked en

bob dole ran on the same in '96. >> okay. let's talk about the fact that they lied to us and said -- >> who is they? >> the administration, even the justice department said this is not a tax. it is a penalty. how does the i.r.s., how do you put on your tax return -- >> it's a penalty when romney does it? >> oh, it's a tax when obama does it and makes us put it on the i.r.s. and the tax form. >> if you don't buy insurance, you have to pay the penalty. how is that different when you don't have auto insurance policy when you get pulled over? >> if the united states supreme court says it's a tax, now we know they didn't want us to think it's a tax and hired someone to say it wasn't. then they are wrong. >> in terms of lies i have heard about obamacare, this is somewhere below. it will cover illegal immigrants. and it's going to be -- >> john, they are in my ear. it was a pleasure. >> you love liberals. >> john fugelsane, thank you for being with us. >>> my next guest, don rosenberg, opposes the president's executive action to hol

>> i know bob dole once said famously that there is only one cure for the desire to be president, and that is a wooden stake through the heart or something like that. but i look back at it and i think, you know, first of all, i was ill prepared to run for president. i had not really planned on it for a long time. it just was not something i was geared up to do. but after the 1990 election, i became so upset about bush's economic policies, but also the , thatnto iraq, the qb war kind of thing. that i felt we needed a good populist voice running -- pop ulace voice running. i was not prepared. iran a terrible campaign. a terriblean campaign. i should have run in just a few states. ohio, maybe connecticut. set up operations in those states and nowhere else. but people said you have to campaign in texas. driving downe time the highway in south carolina on a rainy day, and i thought, what am i doing in south carolina? i have no support here. date riley, who they are became a good friend of mine, he was running clinton's campaign. what was i even spending a day -- aside from having staff and

>> bob dole. isn't he one? >> is that the white guy that thinks he's black? >> that's exactly -- >> he's actually a congressman. >> there's only one person that i really respect in the senate and that's -- >> who is your senator, do you know? >> i don't know that. i live with a congressman. so that's exciting. >> that sounds fishy. >> no, it's a hostodbx family. >> oh. sorry. >> now, who controls the senate right now? >> it's hard to say. it's really hard to say. >> it's not that hard. president obama. do you think he's going to be a lame duck? >> what do you mean like he's not going to get re-elect snd. >> are you going to vote for president obama again? >> no. >> why not? >> sarah palin's not running either, is she? >> i think our president is trying his best, but i do feel that he's not in touch with us. >> you want the president to touch you? >> i want to touch%cm the entir american people. not my body, but just -- ]:jy nt in that regard. no. >> not awkward unless we let it tawkward. >> are you a fan of "the factor"? >> i am. >> what's the best part, watt

bush, bob dole and several others. on the democratic side you had jesse jackson, joe biden, others. he followed them around for years. he realized he didn't work for the new york times or the wall street journal. he took a back door to get to know who these people were. he started talking to their friends from elementary school, middle school, folks they had worked with in their careers, to find out who these people actually were. a wonderful piece of reportage that i can't imagine having the time to do or the resources. maybe someday. >> about 1000 pages? >> it takes a lot of reading, it is like a doorstop. >> what are some of the other books you have read that you really like? >> again, so many of them. one i would say was -- the biography of president obama by david remnick, the new yorker editor which came out around the time of his election. i think it was the fall of 2008. it was i think called "the bridge." it wasn't about the presidency, which hadn't even started yet. it was a similar approach where he went back and interviewed all these different people that had been part o

and when newt gingrich and bob dole took the reins of power in 1994 and had very much the notion they were going to work together in sync and force bill clinton to his knees, within three months, it was gingrich saying privately and then publicly that he had far more trouble with bob dole than he did with clinton and called dole the tax collector of the welfare state, which improved relations, s you can imagine. we're not going to see the same

the first person i called was bob dole. i went to see him. and i said to him, you've been here 20 years. i'm a newcomer. but i know enough to know that these are tough jobs and we need to trust each other. i'm here to tell you how i intend to behave towards you and ask you to behave towards me in the same way. he was delighted. we shook hands on pretty basic stuff. i wouldn't surprise him, wouldn't embarrass each other. at the same time, we disagreed almost every day. it didn't reduce the number and the substance of the issue, but it reduced the personal rancor and made life a little bit easier than it was. and enabled a little more progress. this highly personal hostile stuff makes work a little bit tougher. so i do think the president should and i think will do more of it. but i don't think we should think that's going to -- >> should the president meet with the senate majority leader one-on-one? not just as he's going to do with the speaker and this group of four. so it seems to me, i think i would advocate meet him one-on-one. he's in cha

[laughter] honor to have bob dole here. what he means for this country. how deep is our debt of gratitude to him and the men and women who served with him to protect freedom. [applause] there is more than one person in this room who is in a wheelchair. it is, but another gentleman here, i noticed as bill was introduced, these guys made an effort to get to their feet because it means something to them to have a man of his .haracter [applause] and said,le called me pat roberts is in a tight race, and he wanted to know if i will come out and i said, sure i will. it is easier for me to get here than it is for him. i make sure that people in this state know that it is essential we elect pat robertson again into the senate. [applause] look. orman is a vote for barack obama. america should not make that mistake three times. let's vote for pat robinson -- pat robertson.
