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.

Bob Dole 1993 - 1995 The Last Man Standing
Episode 361 GEORGE H. W, BUSH 1992 The Changing of the Guard (Part 43) The Inauguration of Bill Clinton (Part 1)
It is finally the last 24 hours of the Bush Administration. It is the end of an era. Those 24 hours will be crammed with activity, with President Bush preparing to leave office, with President -Elect Clinton making the rounds in Washington D.C. as he prepares to take the reigns of power, and with our military conducting air strikes on Saddam Hussein in Iraq.
It is an eventful 24 hours.
We will take you to the news conference by Press Secretary Marlin Fitzwater announcing the actions overseas. Then to the different activities around the nation's Capitol City as Bill Clinton visits with his many supporters, the nation's Governors, a Howard University event honoring him, and star studded Gala event that will cap off his last day as a private citizen.
We will also check in on the mostly quiet itinerary of President George H. W. Bush who finds that after another two months of overseas operations both in Somalia and in Iraq, his popularity rating has soared back up into the 60% range. Amazingly, he was one of the most consistently popular Presidents in American history only seeing it drop in 1992 long enough for him to lose the election. Bush, famous for his graciousness, keeps a low profile in these final hours only inviting some of his closest political friends and staff over for a final dinner in the White House.
We will also look at the legendary poet Maya Angelou as she prepares to read a poem at the Clinton Inaugural and at the end of this broadcast we let you hear it , out of order, because it was a powerful moment in the Inauguration of Bill Clinton.
