BOB DOLE : 1995 Clinton's Comeback

Send us Fan Mail

One of the great lost opportunities of the 1990s was the way the relationship between President Bill Clinton and Speaker Newt Gingrich disintegrated over the years from this moment right here. 

After being invited to an event in New HAmpshire where both of them spike and talked about real issues in depth. You see all the possibilities that this generation squandered with their behavior. 

You can listen here and hear what might have been.

LINDSEY GRAHAM: OUR SENATOR – A Tribute, Part 5: A South Carolina Original

Our five-part documentary tribute concludes with a look back at the remarkable public life and enduring legacy of Senator Lindsey Graham, one of the most consequential political figures in modern South Carolina history.

In this final installment, we revisit Graham's role as a leading voice in Washington, D.C., hearing once again from the senator himself through interviews that reveal his convictions, humor, and approach to public service. We also return to one of the defining moments of his career—his passionate defense during the Brett Kavanaugh Supreme Court confirmation hearings—and to his final major appearance before the people of South Carolina as we listen to his victory speech following his Republican primary victory just weeks before his passing.

The episode also includes the heartfelt letter from South Carolina's new United States Senator, Darlene Graham Nardone, addressed to the people of the Palmetto State as she begins her temporary service in the Senate.

Closer to home, host Randal Wallace appears before both the Myrtle Beach City Council and Horry County Council to propose that the terminal at Myrtle Beach International Airport be named in honor of Senator Lindsey Graham. If you are a South Carolina listener and believe this tribute is fitting, we invite you to respectfully share your thoughts with your local elected officials and encourage them to consider this lasting recognition of Graham's decades of service.

We conclude with one final bipartisan tribute as Senator Chris Coons of Delaware reflects on his friend and colleague, followed by the United States Senate's formal adjournment in Lindsey Graham's memory. The series closes with the moving Republican Senate Caucus memorial presentation, "Lindsey Graham: An American Original," celebrating the life, service, and legacy of a senator whose influence reached far beyond the borders of South Carolina.

Thank you for joining us for this special five-part documentary series. We hope these episodes preserve not only the history of an extraordinary week, but also the story of a man whose career left an indelible mark on South Carolina, the United States Senate, and the nation he served.
