Bob Dole 1993 - 1995 The Last Man Standing
Randal Wallace Presents : Bob Dole The Last Man Standing
In 1992, in the midst of a recession, the Republican Party would be swept out of power losing not only the White House, but the House and Senate as well. On the Federal level of Government, one man stood alone, as the leader of his party. That man was also the last of the World War 2 generation to be left on the national stage. He was Senate Minority leader Robert J. Dole of Kansas.
Over the next three seasons we will tell his story and the story of the rise of the modern Republican Party. It will be the final story of National leadership for the generation of people who built the American Century. For all the attention a new generation of Republican leaders would garner, it was in fact, Bob Dole, so often in the shadow of the giants of his age, from Nixon to Reagan to Bush, and who would largely be forgotten in the coming era of Gingrich , Clinton, and the second George W. Bush, who actually led the Republican Party out of the political wilderness and back to power in both houses of Congress, even as his own efforts to win the Presidency would fall short.
In our first of three seasons, we will look at both Bob Dole and President Bill Clinton, from 1993 to 1995, as they go head to head in a political duel, that will lead to the resurrection of the Republican Party in America.
We invite you to come along with us on a wild ride through the high points and low moments of modern American History, in an effort to show the citizens of today that we are an amazing and resilient nation.

Myrtle Beach Spring Break 2025 Shooting - The Full Press Conference (Special Edition)
On April 26, 2025, a shooting occurred in Myrtle Beach S.C. on Ocean Boulevard in the city's downtown area. There were 11 people injured and one person, the alleged gunman, was killed by an officer of the Myrtle Beach Police Department.
This podcast is produced in Myrtle Beach, and it just so happened that our host, Randal Wallace, was only one block away at an area restaurant when the shooting occured. Wallace was also a former city councilman in Myrtle Beach for 16 years, and just a year and a half ago, ran for the city council again. We wanted to take this episode to share, respectfully, some thoughts on the situation that he witnessed first hand as it unfolded on that weekend. We also wanted to provide an outlet for our local listeners to be able to hear the press conference the local authorities had on Thursday to answer questions many of the citizens had about the events last Saturday night.
Mr. Wallace also wanted to thank our local Police Department on the extraordinary response they had to the events, and send out our thoughts and prayers to the 11 people injured in the situation that unfolded. He will also share some thoughts he had on how to help prevent these type of issues in the future.
His thoughts include:
1. Heavily Advertise both the no tolerance policy for crime in Myrtle Beach and the fact that the city has thousands of state of the art camera and video systems through out. If you come here and misbehave you will be caught. We ran radio ads all over the States of North and South Carolina after a shooting in the early 2000's and that effort did work during the next couple of years. That should be even easier to implement today given the readily accessible access to the internet available now which was not the case during the time of my service on council.
2. Make the Downtown property owners, the businesses, and employees your ally not your adversary in changing the atmosphere in the area. They can be your best friends in combating these issues if you will let them be on your team. Through all the years I have been involved with the city these people have often not felt that way. This has been an ongoing issue.
3. Grow an atmosphere with the downtown merchants, property owners, and employees where they feel like they have a say in the future of the area. Any successful redevelopment will have to come organically from them and any attempt to force change on them, as has been proven, will consistently fail. Let them take the lead in what direction the area will take in the future.
We hope these suggestions can help and we also want to keep the victims, officers, and families of these folks involved in this tragic event in our prayers over the days to come.
Sincerely,
The Randal Wallace Presents Podcast.
