a great american patriot, the late senator bob dell. we heard a really moving tribute today from so many, but especially from the president of the united states, joe biden, celebrating his longtime colleague as a master of the senate, a man guided by devotion to country and always honest. john king, we lost another great member of the greatest generation. >> we did, and there's so many rich political stories to tell, so many -- this man lived the life of so many transitions within his party and country and i think we'll start with the dignitaries paying tribute. this is just a remarkable american life. this a son of the depression who rose to the heights of political power, someone who nearly died in the world war ii who fought through personal strength and perseverance to recover, through the generosity of his neighbors in russell, canada to travel to chicago for all the surgeries and a stubborn resilience to rise to power. that power has so many chapters, and we talk about those, and first to pay tribute. jamie noted this before the service. we're losing this generation. nothing we can do about that. >> the greatest generation. >> the greatest generation. how much we could use their voices now at a time american democracy is under threat from within. truth is under threat from within. we need the people with just these unimpeachable resumes to talk about faith and patriotism and truth and trust, and sadly we are losing it. >> you know, jamie, the attendants, the invited guests who showed up underscore what a great leader bob dole was. >> absolutely. you see president clinton there. this was a bipartisan group. i just want to know that that was chairman of the joint chiefs general milley who escorted elizabeth dole. i just want to underscore something john said about words to describe this men. shrewd, ambitious, determined, resilient. he was 98 years old. with all of the health problems, the pain that -- that he had gone through, and i would just like to say that, you know, when he ran for president he couldn't go back, as you said, to the senate but without anyone knowing until reporters caught on years later he went to the world war ii memorial every weekend, in the heat summer is, in the rape, in the snow, to greet veterans he did not know, to salute them. sometimes he would go meet their planes. i just think that dedication to service is something we don't see very much. >> and they are heading, gloria, now, to the world war ii memorial, the motorcade, the hearse, the casket. they will be going there a place that bob dole so, so loved. >> well, he told me this story when he was at the white house after the election, which he had lost, president clinton presented him the medal of freedom, and he saw the plans, the 3-d plans for the memorial, for the world war ii memorial and, of course, they asked him to raise some money for it, and they said he would. they wanted to raise 70 million, and they raised 170 million and he said that this was the peg p.s. to his legacy because that was the legacy that he had achieved in his congress because he also achieved another part of his life. he lost two presidential elections. he was on a vice presidential ticket that lost. he said, you know, it's tough to lose. we all want to be winners, but we've got to understand that if you lose, there is still a life out there. you can either move forward, close the chapter and then start a new one, and that's exactly what his life has been. >> let's listen in for a moment. ♪ ♪ forward march. >> nia, they are going to be heading over to the world war ii memorial to spend a little time there, the place that he helped develop and build. it was so important to him, a great veteran of world war ii. >> it was important to him, and something else that was very important to bob dole was empowering women. we heard from his former chief of staff, sheila burke. he was the first senate leader of either party to appoint a woman as chief of staff, and in so many ways, you know, as i was growing up and watching him on television, his wife to me really symbolized that he wasn't afraid of being around and partnering with a powerful woman. you see her there. you know, she's 85 now. she was a phi beta kappa doug graduate, and harvard law graduate as well, and i think we saw that part of bob dole, his legacy as well empowering the senate. when he left the senate, many of the women, many of the poem in his staff in the pop positions were women as well. >> could we just talk about him actually making a decision to leave the senate when he was running for the presidency because he said i had told everyone that i would devote my full time and energy to becoming their president. do people do that now? they look at the number of years they have got left. they figure out, well, i can try this, it doesn't work i have a job to go back to, and bob dole did not take that route. by the way, everyone called him bob dole today, i might add, because he very often called himself bob dole, third person. >> if you think about it, he's an eisenhower republican and his life in politics started with richard nixon. he was gerald ford's running mate and lost in that election and jamie noted the vice presidential candidate in the post-watergate election and then along came ronald reagan and then came george h.w. bush and then ronald reagan. bob dole nonated the chapters of the republican party. people talk about his hidden faith, full. bob dole in the senate or on the campaign trail running for president did not like to talk about faith. i first met him in the 1988 campaign where he, like i, was fascinated by pat robertson and dole owes message was you did that inside, not the outside. the first day of the campaign was to prove to the right he was solid on taxes and the second day was about voluntary prayer in schools and standing up to bill clinton who he thought was soft on drinks, christian conservatives. he constabilitily had to deal with changes in the party and he didn't like that. he didn't like that. he thought the hard work you put in should be in. if you work hard, you should earn the trust and respect but he constantly had to deal with a party in transition and in the end turned on trump who he -- one. few big leaders to embrace donald trump was not a fan of the big lie. thought it was a danger to the democracy that he risked his life to point. >> as you pointed out, jamie, really moving, that elizabeth dole was being escorted by general mark mill yie, the join chiefs of staff, a very close friend of bob dole over the years. >> and certainly someone that donald trump is -- does not like, but can i add one other thing hand that is about his sense of humor because even though this is a sad occasion. he was 98. he lived this big life. he would zing others, but he had this incredible self-deprecating sense of humor. right after he lost the presidential run he went on david letterman and david letterman said to him so what have you been doing? and bob dole said apparently not enough, and that -- that was just classic bob dole. >> they are heading over to the world war ii memorial. there will be more tributes to bob dole there, including from tom hanks who will be speak as well. we'll, of course, continue to have coverage for all of our viewers, and to our viewers i want to thank you very much for watching acts nation says good-bye to the late senator bob dole. i'm wolf blitzer here in washington. our cnn coverage will continue right after a quick

whatever work becomes, the world works with servicenow. hello on this friday. i'm ana cabrera in new york. we begin with the u.s. supreme court and its ruling on the most restrictive abortion law in the country. the court allowing texas to maintain its near total ban on abrorgs, but the ruling also allows abortion providers to continue their legal challenges to that law that bars the procedures after about the first six weeks of pregnancy. this case has major implications for abortion rights across the country. let's check in with cnn's justice correspondent jessica schneider. jessica, tell us more about this ruling and what happens now. >> reporter: well, ana, this is now being celebrated as a win for pro-life activists, and abortion providers are really expressing their disappointment. that's because this texas law is still in effect, and it really only gives a very narrow path to abortion providers to even challenge this law, so the supreme court ruled that abortion providers can sue a handful of state officials to stop them from enforcing parts of this law, but the fact remains here private citizens are still empowered to sue any abortion provider who performs an abortion after a fetal haerkt is detected, around six weeks and with that threat it's extremely likely that abortion clinics throughout the state of texas will remain shut down. that's why they shut down in the first place because of the threat of litigation and threat of lawsuits filed from anyone anywhere in the country with the looming fine of $10 n.o.w. in each of those lawsuits so with this ruling the dynamic in texas really doesn't change much. private citizens can still sue, so that will make abortion clinics very reluctant to reopen. now, interestingly, it was actually both the chief justice john roberts and justice sotomayor who wrote something critical of the court's rule. since state clerks process the lawsuits abortion clinics should stop them and then it was justice sotomayor with biting powerful language and here's what she said in part. she said the court should have put an end to this madness months ago before sb-8 went into effect t.failed to do so then and it fails again today. notably, this decision, this court, ana, not ruling on the underlining right to abortion. that issue is instead present in a case last week in a challenge in mississippi law that bans most abortions at 15 weeks. this case just dealing whether or not abortion providers can proceed with their lawsuit. they can, but it will be so limited, aprila, that they will likely not be able to block this texas law any time soon. it will remain on the books. ana. >> jessica schneider, thanks so much for laying it out. let's bring in cnn's chief legal analyst jeffrey toobin our supreme court analyst. jeff, what do you make of the fact that the majority of the court has essentially for now given texas the green light to continue to ban most abortions after about six weeks which is in direct opposite to "roe v. wade"? >> well, this is why evangelicals backed donald trump because he appointed justices to the supreme court who are fighting abortion rights at every step. i mean, it remains a remarkable, remarkable thing, that even though "roe v. wade" is technically still the law of the land, the women of texas are now entering their fourth month where abortion is effectively illegal, and that's what the main -- main message of today's opinion is, and it's just a major change in the law, and it just shows how presidential elections have consequences because abortion rights are being limited or restricted or eliminated in ways that would have been unthinkable just a year or two ago. >> again, i just want to reiterate that they did not rule on the constitutionality of this texas law. they only ruled essentially on whether abortion providers have a right to challenge this law and the suits that have come as a result of it, so what do you think this means, jeffrey, for how the court will ultimately rule on that mississippi law? >> well, you know, i have been wrong about predictions based on oral arguments before, but when you look at this decision and when you look at how the court behaved during the oral argument of the mississippi case last woke, it's very hard to avoid the conclusion that the court will uphold the restriction on abortion rights which is a 16-week rule in mississippi. this is a six-week rule in texas. this -- this just -- this does not look like a court that is prepared to limit states in any way in banning abortion, and everything they do, it looks like the five justices who are in the majority here, are ready to do away with all those protections that women have had in this country for 50 years. >> joan, in one sense there was a limited win for abortion providers, the supreme court here saying that they have a right to challenge this texas law, but they can only sue certain state officials, and the court was very divide on this, 5-4, on who abortion provide corsi challenge in court. so what did you learn about the justices themselves and this new court and the ruling and the message that this court is sending? >> yes, i would emphasize the limited, when you refer to a limited win, because it's only certain state licensing officials that can be sued by the abortion providers. what it shows is who is in control here. neil gorsuch, president donald trump's first appointee was the one who wrote this opinion. chief justice john roberts not a fan of abortion rights but is trying to keep this court from lurching too far to the right dissented as did the three liberals so it really shows who is in control and, again, it's a real sign for what could happen nationwide for the mississippi case now under consideration. in texas it means that since september 1st of this year, women who are beyond six weeks into pregnancy have no right to obtain an abortion when the court has ruled since 1973 that women in the early stages of their pregnancies, up to about week 23, have a constitutional right to terminate a pregnancy, you know, whether you like that or not. that has been the loft land for half a century and was reaffirmed by the justices in 1992, and in texas right now that's all out the window and chief justice john roberts said in today's ruling texas has essentially nullified supreme court precedent, so it -- it shows us this very severe breakdown on the court and who is in control and likely who is controlling right now behind the scenes in the mississippi case. the one caveat i would say is there are many months between now and june when we will see how the justices rule on the nationwide right to abortion, and things could change, but right now it doesn't look good for proponents of abortion rights. >> jeff, at least 12 states right now have these so-called trigger laws in place. >> right. >> if "roe v. wade" were to be overturned, nearly all abortions would immediately be banned in these states. is there anything stopping these states right now from trying to move forward and actually put these laws in place? >> well, many of them have. i mean, there are lots of laws restricting abortion that are sort of on hold now waiting for the resolution of this mississippi case, but, look, i mean, this has been a goal of the conservative movement for several decades. donald trump said in the 2016 campaign in the debate with hillary clinton, he said it's automatic that "roe v. wade" will be overturned if i have appointments to the supreme court, but, you know, these state legislatures, they read the newspaper. they follow the news. they know who is on the supreme court, and so i anticipate regardless of whether the court uses the words overruled with "roe v. wade," if this mississippi law is upheld in june, will you see a cascade of laws restricting abortion in, you know, close to a third of the country almost immediately, and then you'll have states like georgia, like michigan, like ohio where you'll have brutal political fights over it, but in much of the country, a third of the country, in the south especially, abortion is just going to be illegal soon if the court continues in this direction. >> well, you think about broader implications still. the fact that we're look at the potential for what has been described as settled law to be overturned, joan, what does that mean for other constitutionally protected rights? >> yeah, you know. this was a pretty shrewd procedural move that the texas legislature enacted that essentially shieldled state officials from lawsuits, you know, by deputizing private individuals to bring cases. during the oral arguments on november 1st some of the conservatives brought forth the idea that this could occur for other constitutional rights, for example, the right to carry arms, and, you know, they seem concerned about states trying to insulate themselves from bans on perhaps, you know, handgun -- handguns, those kinds of things for down the road, but that certainly did not deter this conservative supreme court majority. this case, even though it was on a procedural matter, it really smacks of core abortion rights issues, and i think that we're going to get a major ruling in june right before the mid terms, and this highly politicized issue is going to play into the mid terms and it's going to play into court rules down the road. i thought, ana, that this kind of mechanism that could involve other rights would somehow make this majority hedge a little bit but not at all. the kinds of lawsuits that are allowed through this limited ability that the caught gave abortion providers today is quite narrow and still throws open the door to so many other states enacting abortion laws or maybe more liberal states going after things like gun control. >> i just want to read one more quick quote from the opinion from justice sotomayor, her dis-september in which she writes this decision effectively invites other states to refine the texas law's model for nullifying the rights saying it betrays our constitutional system of government. obviously this is a conversation that is not over yet as these cases continue to work through the judicial process. thank you so much, joan piskupi i can and jeffrey toobin as well. >> coming soon, a ceremony of a life with bob dole will begin here at world war ii memorial. these are life images. you can see a crowd gathering there to remember him. we'll bring you some of that ceremony here on cnn. plus, inflation surging to a near 40-year high.

now. now economic numbers out today confirm what you probably already knew, inflation is soaring. a key measure of inflation had its biggest spike in nearly 40 years. the consumer price index jumped 6.8% over the past 12 months. cnn business reporter matt egan is here to help us put this in perspective. what's your main takeaway from this report, matt? >> reporter: well, ana, you know, inflation is the biggest sore spot in this economy. we learned today that inflation got worse in november. as you mentioned, 6.8% jump in prices from a year ago. we haven't seen anything like that since 1982. one economist i talked to is calling that finding very grim. he said also, you know, i guess if you had to look at any kind of good news it would be the month over month prices are up by .8%. that's actually a deceleration from what we've seen, but it's still very high. what we're experiencing today is this massive collision in the economy. on the one and there's really, really strong demand as the economy recovers from covid, but, on the other hand, you have all these supply chain constraints that are also covid, so all too often supply has not been able to keep up with demand, and that's why we've seen prices move higher. this is a problem across the board in the economy. we're seeing food prices up by 6.1%, biggest gain since 2008. gas prices run by 58%, biggest gain since 1980. all of this is a fresh reminder of how everyone who thought inflation was just going to be a temporary issue has proven to be wrong. this is now six straight months of inflation topping 5%. ana, there are some positives in the economy right now. jobless claims are at a 52-year low and gdp is really expected to accelerate this quarter, but all the bright spots are being overshadowed right now by inflation. >> right. it's not just food and gas prize, right? where else are prices rising? >> reporter: that's right. i mean, if you look at core inflation which strips out food and energy which can be volatile, that was up by 4.9% from a year ago. that is the biggest gain since june 1991. we also have this graphic that breaks down a whole wide range of items that are getting more expensive. tools and hardware, up by 6.9%. that's the most ever. men's and boys' apparel, up by 7.8%, most since february of 1975. new cars and trucks, 11%. that's a record. used cars 31%. that is because of the computer chip shortage. one positive, smartphones are getting cheaper. they are down by 16%. that is a record, but that is very little consolation at this point. ana, you know, the risk is that the longer that this goes on, you know, kind of the more embedded it becomes in psychology. it starts changing the way people behave, right. consumers might speed up their purchases because they are worried about higher prize. people may demand even higher wages, so it kind of becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy so we do have to hope that the prices will eventually cool off, because we know that they are hurting everyday americans right now. >> so what can be done? what can the fed do? what can the white house do to try to tamp down inflation and calm those concerns about the rising prices? >> reporter: well, that's a great question. we have to remember that inflation is towel lit purview of the federal reserve even though it's certainly weighing on the president's poll numbers. price stability is what the fred is there forks and the good news is that the fed knows what to do here. they can tap on the brakes of the economy by raising interest rates and unwinding their stimulus programs. i think the bad news is that the faster or the harder they have to hit on the brakes, the greater the chance that there's an accident, either in financial markets or in the economy, so they want to try to unwind all of these programs gradually, but it's going to -- you know, it's going to take some time. >> yeah. >> from the white house's perspective much of this is about supply chains. they are focusing on that right now. we're starting to see some improvements, and if supply chains do really improve, that's going to take some pressure off inflation, but, ana, that is also going to take some time to play out. >> it's a delicate dance. matt egan, thank you. the clock is ticking for former president trump after losing another legal fight to keep his white house records secret from the house committee investigating the january 6th attack on the capitol. a federal appeals court has now ruled against trump, but pause the release of those documents 14 days, so trump can ask the sfrek supreme court to review the case. the appeals court in its nap mouse ruling, write, quote, former president trump has given this court no legal reason to cast aside president biden's assessment of the executive branch interests at stake or to create a separation of powers conflict that the political branches have avoided. i want to bring in cnn senior legal affairs correspondent paula reid now. paula, what happens next? >> well, he has two weeks to appeal this to the supreme court and a presidential spokeswoman will signal if he intends to do that, but this is second time that he's lost on this issue. the former president has argued that as part of executive privilege he has the right to protect his white house records and keep them from lawmakers investigating january 6th. the power to protect has been affirmed to lie with the current president and that's president biden. he's in the not asserted any privilege over trump's white house records. this kind of material, this is not what privilege is meant to protect. he cites the extraordinary events of january 6th and says he wants lawmakers to have access to these documents, and the courts have agreed. now, there's also some other information in this ruling that's bad news not only for former president trump but also for mark meadows. once again, ana, the court is affirming that the january 6th committee has a legitimate legislative purpose. it hats power to investigate january 6th. that's an argument that the former president has made, mark meadows has made, that they don't actually have the power to conduct this version an argument that has now been rejected twice. it's unclear if the supreme court would take up this case once it is appealed, but there are some really unique constitutional questions here that they may be interested in, but if they do take it up, that would likely delay the handing over potentially of these records if they allow, it so that's not great for the committee. we'll see what happened. >> paula, let's talk about a separate but relate case. the judge presiding over steve bannon's contempt proceedings issued a protective order a short time ago. tell us about that. >> that's right. we know steve bannon has been charged with criminal contempt of congress. he's expected to go to trial on that over summer, and during the process leading up to the trial he has arlgd, he and his attorneys have argued any documents, any materials that run covered during discovery should be made public, but the government argued, no, he's trying to try this in the court of public opinion. these should not be made public. now, cnn was one of several media organizations that supported bannon's argument that, of course, we want these documents to be public, right, ana. we want to know everything. we want all the details, but, unfortunately, the judge, he has -- the judge in this case has sided with the government, and there will be a protective order over this. again, a trial over the summer, we may actually get to see or hear about some of these materials. >> paula, thank you. let's continue this conversation with harry litman, a former u.s. attorney and deputy attorney general. harry, every expectation is that trump will appeal to the supreme court on this. before we talk about what the supreme court might do related to these national guard archives, what stands out to you about the appellate court ruling? >> well, it was really momentous i would say. it wasn't just simply that it completely rejected his view, but it had, if you will, the music as well as the words. it says blood was lost. blood was shed and lives were lost. this is a big constitutional moment. it described the january 6th events in vivid and sometimes violent detail, so it really i think portrayed itself as something of an opinion for the ages. that was one. second is that it portrayed trump as a complete outsider, any ordinary citizen no, extra rights, and then, third, it really talked about the kind of separation of powers import that biden and congress have worked this out, and it isn't for the court much less an interloper which is what donald trump effectively is right now to upset the apple cart. >> but, this would go before a conservative supreme court. what do you think the justices will do with this? >> right. it would, and just process-wise, ana, he'll have two weeks and then there will be 30 days for the house to respond and then in the normal business it were take about 30 days or so until the court decides. everyone seems to think it's a foregone conclusion that the court will take it. i don't. first, the -- i'm not saying that they won't, but i think that people are way overhandicapping the possibility. first, the decision is right, and it's right from a conservative point of view. we do only have one president at a time. it is boyden. there's no rone for the court to roach down and disturb that. second, they will be very conscious of the time as the other two courts to date have been, and they will know if they accept review it basically foils the committee's efforts to try to get the testimony in time. they will be aware of that as well. now there are some questions that haven't been said at the supreme court level. they certainly could take it, but it takes four votes, four votes to decide to take the case as i handicap it in a sort of nerdy insider supreme court way. i count to three pretty easily, but i'm not sure of the fourth. so at least all these people who are betting for sure they will take it, i will take their bets because i think it's more of a tossup. ness. >> so if they reject it. >> yeah. >> then could we see those documents go to the house how soon? >> that's right. first, it's all over and not just for trump and his documents which mark meadows, as paula says has been trying to ply the same argument and so has bannon. >> exactly. >> that's the law for the whole circuit that there is no privilege. how soon would we see them, really soon? as soon as the supreme court denies review, that to happen, a matter of, you know, 72 hours until it's executed and documents arrive in crates at the house. >> and just to confirm that i'm understanding what you said. >> yeah. >> if they reject trump's argument, the supreme court, that would be the last word on the national archives case, but it would also have implications on the other cases like bannon's and meadows in which they put executive privilege at core of their claim and whether or not to comply with the subpoena. >> huge implications generally for the country but even huger within this court where bannon and meadows are trying to argue. within that court it would be established that there is no privilege claim here, so anyone who says so, anyone who tells congress i'm not going to do it, that's -- that starts to look like criminal contempt because the law is so clearly otherwise. anyone who goes before a district court and says as meddos did two days ago, there's -- there's privilege here, would be completely dismissed. it really would settle the matter within the court that matters the most. >> congress is expected to proceed with contempt proceedings against meadows on monday. what are the chances hegiven au and emails about the thousands that he's apparently already provided. >> second question first. he's provided a lot, but 6,000 pages of emails, but they're really pretty tame. and he specifically withheld some phone conversations and records basically, at this point all of the people would could really directly have spoken with the president say what he knew, what he said and when he did it, they have all to date rebuffed the committee so he is probably the single most important witness where were he to fully cooperate. he's a shadow guy trying to execute the policies that trump wants and listening to him. >> sorry to interrupt. but he withheld some documents that he claims are covered by this privilege. but the fact of the matter is some of what he has turned over, we just learned in the last 24 hours, we are pretty damning. i have to leave it there. we are going live to tom hanks to the memorial of bob dole. >> the pacific ocean and the atlantic ocean, the two theaters of conflict. 48 states at the time and every american territory, totally now 50 states and still a born part of america. to appreciate the life and the accomplishments of bob dole. >> simply look around at where we have gathered today at this national memorial to the americans who gave their lives for the common good, and the common cause of saving the world from tyrants. when bob dole fulfilled his duty in that war, which burned up half of the world, the cost he paid was a hard one for him to bear. he lost the use of a limb and part of his once strong shoulders on a cold mountain side in italy to an enemy that was trying to kill him. they failed. to recover bob dole lay in a hard plaster body cast for 39 months, roughly 1,170 days, aided by all those who cared for the wounded veterans of that war, he worked himself through the long, hard sessions of physical toil just to be able to go about the routine motions of an average day. and yet he was never able again to button his shirt, or sign his name as he had. he saluted and he made your acquaintance with his left hand. the folks from russell, kansas, they news bob dole. and they knew the price he had paid and they came forward to aid his recovery. their nickels and dimes, the hard earned dollars, they volunteered to do without were collected in cigar boxes sand made possible the rest of bob dole's life of service. who could ever forget such largesse, such support, such a loving effort to ease the hard work of a son of kansas who had once been, yes, the best looking senior at russell high school. bob dole never forgot them. never. and if he was here today, the mention of those coins in a cigar box would reduce him to tears. there are many great lessons to take away from bob dole's life. go to the other guy's office so you could decide when the meeting is over and get up and walk out. speak straight, even when it gets you in trouble, because it will. but at least everyone will know how you stand and what you stand for. and always plan, not just to win, but win big. yes, you may try and fail, but you will not fail to try. and always, always remember how many structures in this city exist but for the efforts of one man. the national world war ii memorial was built over two white house administrations with a contributions of americans life you. but it was bob dole who willed this memorial into place. he pushed the idea, he corralled the votes, he made the phone calls, he enlisted allies, all of us in the cause, and he raised the money. he did all but mix the concrete himself, which he may have done had he had the use of that right arm. this memorial stands in this rightful site because bob dole remembered. he remembered the nearly half a pl souls who unlike him never came home from the second world war. he remembered the years of service the surviving americans had invested. yet, this memorial was not built only for the generation it honors any more than it was erected to crow of their victory. bob dole called this a memorial to peace so that all generations would remember that peace is achieved in shared labor, by shared sacrifice, by volunteering for the shared duty if peace is to be won and if we americans are to continue our pursuit of a more perfect nation if an imperfect world. now there are other great americans who are remembered by memorials on this wide, long patch of green here in our capitol. places that hold the essence of their honor and their ethos, of their character and their efforts. places where we feel a part of them, of all that they did and all that they tried to do, a bit of their presence when we visit. bob dole came to this plaza often. to remember, to talk with veterans like himself, and to their posterity, by greeting them with a shake of his left hand. the memory and conscience of the man himself will always be here, right here for as long as there is an america. and that is a good thing, because here we will always remember bob dole. senator dole rose to the rank of captain during his time in uniform and nearly 75 years laters weigh was conferred the honorary rank of colonel at this very memorial by the joint chiefs of staff i'm honored to introduce general mark milley. >> thank you, savannah and tom for those kind words. and senator elizabeth, i think senator bob probably heard you when you said let there be sun. so there you go. perfect timing. he heard your prayer. i want to welcome everyone here and anyone who served in the second world war. are there any world war ii veterans here today? [ applause ] i am incredibly humbled to have the honor to speak hoer today as the son of a mother would served in world war ii and took care of the wounded from the pacific and a father who served with the fourth marine division and hit the beach in sigh pan an tini an and iwo jima and they've passed on but it truly a remarkable generation, and today is a solemn day for our nation, as we collectively mourn but more importantly we celebrate the 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 hi
