united states will spend more a new record in good times. here is the cbo director keith hall. >> nobody knows what is too much debt. what will cause a fiscal crisis. you know? and it really depends upon the country, it depends on the situation. >> president trump says republicans now want to make the individual tax cuts permanent and they were scheduled to conspire at the end of 2025. speaker ryan says the house will vote on that this summer. it's important to say ballooning deficits are not exclusive to a single party or president but, remember, the next time republicans brag about the tax cut or democrats begrudgingly justify huge spending increases, remember, everything comes at a cost. the next hour starts right now. >> announcer: this is cnn breaking news.

>> reporter: our antioch, tennessee, suburb of nanshville. three dead and others injured after a shooting at a waffle house. >> police tweeted this. >> another shooting nearby that police are saying now is related to that shooting at the waffle house. our affiliate reporter there at wtvs, sophie nelson kalcolding there with details. >> reporter: police called out their s.w.a.t. team and helicopter to search for this man. they are not sure if he has another gun on him. the waffle house is murfreesboro, the man went and started shooting. we do know a customer, someone who was at this waffle house, actually wrestled that gun away from him but not before he had

shot seven people, three dead, four people hurt this morning. so that rifle was left behind at the restaurant before he walked out. police specifically told us that it was it an ar-15. he left, walked away from the scene. police say that he was naked and he is a white man with short hair. so there was a helicopter up above us right now. actually, i'm not sure if you it hear it but they are still searching for this man. we have seen the police tweeting and we hope that the public information officer, if he gives us an update we will let you know and give you all of that information. >> sophie, thank you. we know the s.w.a.t. teams and helicopters have been called in to help with the search. as soon as we get more, we will bring that to you. new this morning. this isn't really a trick

question. it's pretty straightforward. will you support donald trump in the 2020 election? >> there is another high profile republican this morning who is dodging that question. this time it's mitt romney telling cnn, quote, i will make that decision down the road. he is joining dozens of house and senate republicans who appear reluctant to back the president's re-election bid. >> i haven't thought about that election. >> it could be a completely different world by 2020. >> it's a long way off. >> i think it's far too early to make a judgment of that type. >> talk about what might happen in that time i think is premature. >> we have no idea who is going to run. whether the president runs again or not i think is very questionable, candidly. >> why wouldn't he? >> ah. i don't know. why would he? >> reporter: cnn white house reporter jeremy diamond is with us live here. we know the president, jeremy, and romney have had a dicey

relationship. that isn't a surprise. why is this? >> reporter: certainly the case. mitt romney is the latest republican to joins these folks in saying they are not sure if they want to support the president in 2020. it's a reflection of the president's current political standing, his approval ratings he is facing and the number of scrutiny and suspicion he is facing over robert mueller's probe, for example, but an example of the tumultuous relationship between the president and mitt romney. >> i don't think mitt needs lots of money but he'll do what is necessary. we need somebody great as a president. i'll be a great president. >> being in donald trump's magnificent hotel and having his endorse smt a delight. >> i have a lot of friends. no, i have a lot of friends. by the way, mitt romney is not one of them! did he choke? >> here is what i know. donald trump is a phony. a fraud.

>> the last election should have been won, except romney choked like a dog! he choked! he went -- i can't breathe! i can't breathe, he said! >> i've had a wonderful evening with president-elect trump. the discussions i've had with him have been enlightening and engaging and enjoyed them very much. >> reporter: this has been a love/hate and now love again relationship between romney and the president. but mitt romney, despite getting the president's endorsement no recently for his u.s. senate republican bid he failed to clench the delegate votes he needed yesterday to clempl the nomination outright. instead he is facing a primary challenge going up in june against another republican in utah for that senate seat. there are a lot of local issues, particularly about the nominating system at play here as far as why mitt romney was not able to clench that vote

outright. still very interesting to see mitt romney now with the president's endorsement and despite his past criticisms of the president, not able to clench that nomination outright. he will -- he is, however, expected to clench that nomination eventually. he is certainly still the favorite. >> jeremy, stay with us. i want to continue this conversation and bring in cnn media correspondent bryant stelter and deputy managing editor at the weekly standard, kelly jane torrance. kelly, is this a case of mitt romney is both too close to and too far from the president, especially in of all states, utah? >> united states has seen probably the least amount of support for president donald trump in a red state. and i have to say, i mean, romney is echoing what a lot of gop lawmakers and others are saying lately but he does look a little bit opportunistic with this. he had very strong words against

president trump during the primary and as soon as turump ws elected he changed his tune and was a candidate for secretary of state. it seems he is supporting trump when it suits him and his career. i think one thing he has to worry about in utah. he wasn't a shoo-in for this race and a lot of people see him as a carpet bagger. he has only recently moved to utah and changed his voter registration there just within the last few years. i think he has a few things that are all related to the fact that he looks a bit like an opportunistic in many ways. >> let's put up the results of the 2012 primary here. brian, there is the element of the drum beat that goes through the primary season and potentially inevitability. look at these numbers. 93% mitt romney won the gop primary in 2012 and comes in second to a two term state

senator when asked why voters latched on to his message, his answer was, "i don't know. i don't know. it's just my message." what happened to mitt romney? >> good to see a raucous night of voting in utah, you know? we are seeing the process play out and now we will have an actual primary in the state. i think this is one of the situations where all of the politics is upside down so, as a result, the question of whether the president will run for re-election and his party will support him is an open question. normally, we wouldn't be having this conversation, of course. it seems to me the parlor game of american politics how long do you think the president will last? 2020 or sometimes before 2020? it actually makes analyzing the upcoming elections harder whether the mid terms or presidential. we are still 88 weeks from the iowa caucuses but nobody really knows what is going to happen in those 88 weeks now and then. >> finally, button this up for

me, jeremy. you don't see -- maybe you do -- a scenario in which donald trump goes and rallies or campaigns for mitt romney in this primary season or moving forward? >> reporter: anything is possible, i would say, victor. listen. >> that would be full circle, right? donald trump campaigning for mitt romney after all we have seen? >> reporter: it definitely would be. but given the relationship that we have seen between the two men the last several years, you know, going from fully supporting mitt romney in the 2023 campaign to bashing him during the 2016 campaign with the return fire from mitt romney calling him a phony and a fraud and then considering him for secretary of state. i don't know that it would be completely out of the question to see him campaigning there. the question is whether mitt romney would want it. certainly it has helped him to get a little bit of a boost from the president but this is also a state where 21% of voters in 2016 voted for evan mcmullen who, you know, ran this

independent third-party campaign specifically on the premise of opposing donald trump. utah, you know, deep red state but still a state where there is a serious anti-trump -- >> speaking of 2020. brian, brad thor, a conservative author made news this weekend by republican primary moving forward the next cycle. >> i think this is really interesting, you know? we will hear about a lot of, you know, nontraditional candidates the next two years and probably on the democratic side and apparently on the republican side as well. brad thor is a famous author of spy thrillers and big trump skeptic and he came reluctantly into the fold but now willing to primary the president if others don't. at the end of the day, yesterday on twitter he was saying that is it, i'm going to do it and i'm going to run. well see how serious he is about this. his message, speaking with the daily caller and speaking with others he does believe the president needs to be primaried. he expects other challenges as

well but one of the tweets from thor he said imagine how much america could establish with a stable president who understands how government work and pretty strong words for a well-known conservative saying the president is unfit for office and needs to be challenged. i think we will see a lot of other challenges on the right but this is one that already like i said 88 wooks befoeeks b iowa caucuses is putting his hand in the air and saying i'll do it. >> kelly, look at it the perspective from donald trump running had nearly 100%, if not 100%, name recognition. brad thor does not have that. what is the plausibility of thor coming in and being a real contender when the president has been running for re-election from the first day of his administration? >> yeah. victor, i think he does have some problems. he does have more name recognition than your average politician. is a very well-known author.

"the new york times" best seller and he has a lot of fans. it's funny. i think this came as a surprise to people but he has to think about this for a while. i found this q & a with his publisher and they are asked him which historical figure do you most identify with? he said ronald reagan. i have a feeling this has been on his mind for a while and he is sort of taking the opportunity. i have to say in the q & a they said what do you like to do when you're not writing? he said working out and shooting and not your typical political hobbies there. i think he has been a very strong critic of donald trump and a lot of people like him for that. i will say, though, he does have some baggage and one those is his view of islam. he has a very hard stand against islam and says al qaeda and eye s isis are the true islam. >> president trump told anderson

cooper that islam hates us so he was elected and is now, at least the front-runner, not if you ask some of the republicans on hill, they haven't backed the president yet. let me talk about quickly epa director scott pruitt. out in "the new york times" right now. pruitt purchased a house in 2003 from a lobbyist shell company who works for the epa. mr. pruitt will meet with a lobbyist connected with the deal where he was staying in a room. does this suggest that his tenure at the epa is short? >> reporter: tit is becoming difficult to imagine a cabinet member still on the job despite the flurry of scandals and allegations of unethical behavior that scott pruitt has

faced and this not only shows he has faced these issues currently in his current position but a track record of it going back to his days as a state senator in oklahoma. but despite all of this, what we have seen from the president is, you know, reluctance really to dismiss scott pruitt at all or to put him on ice. the president and scott pruitt have met several times since these stories have come out and the president has come out of that completely backing his epa administrator. a big reason why is because he is accomplishing a lot of his goals on his agenda. you know? the deregulation front has been huge at epa and scott pruitt, of course, has been very much a force behind that. as of now, there is no indication that the president, that anything is actually going to change his mind or his view about his epa administrator despite the continuation of the stories we have seen. >> thank you all. >> thank you. good morning. >> today on "state of the union," kellyanne conway and bob

a developing situation in afghanistan this morning. a number of people who were killed during this suicide bomb attack on a voting registration center in kabul is now 31. another 54 people have been hurt. this video you're watching just came in minutes ago. isis has now claimed responsibility. they say they carried out this attack.

according to "the washington post" the white house is privatelily doubting north korea's plan to stop all nuclear testing ahead of the summit with the u.s. despite trump calling it a good move and progress in a tweet. >> they say this would be a move by north korea to bring the u.s. to the negotiating table and ease sanctions on pyongyang and violate the agreement and believe that because it's something that has happened in the past. chemical weapons experts have gotten samples from the attack. leading to concerns that any chemistry that might have been used could have disintegrated. >> the u.s. and allies believe chlorine and sarin gas was dumped there and blame assad's regime. but assad's regime denies an attack happened there. sam is following this from moscow.

there is back and forth between the trump administration about possibility imposing further sanctions on russia after the attacks. where do we stand there? >> reporter: first of all, on sanctions, as we know, we go being a week ago, nikki haley said new sanctions should be imposed on russia and donald trump didn't impose them the following monday, some suggestion that there was a rourout between him and others in the national security council. a meeting on friday between steve mnuchin and on the fringes of the imf also talking about sanctions. those, though, focused on existing sanctions. for now, it seems that sanctions, more sanctions are on the back burner but they are something that troubles russia in a way that criticism over the alleged use of chemical weapons and their alliance with the

damascus regime really doesn't. >> the significance now of these inspectors getting to douma and collecting the evidence, the u.s. and uk believe they have evidence that these were gas attacks. tell us what we are learning about the new investigations. >> reporter: well, the samples have been collected on saturday. they are being redistributed and transported to europe and tested in labs where proof positive or otherwise of what chemicals were used should be forthcoming over the next week or so. now the russians have already indicated that they probably wouldn't accept those results. equally, the west has adle they believe russia is trying to sanitize the environment where these attacks allegedly took place. we understand from chemical weapons experts, though, that no

amount of attempt to sanitizing can cover it up. if the weapons were used will show up in the traces of the sample taken. >> sam kylie, thank you. we will stand by for those reports. next, maybe the best of friends? maybe not? mitt romney seems to repay the president for endorsing his utah bid for him saying whether he is backing him in 2020 election. our colleagues have a lot to say about that and the rest of the political headlines. do stay close.

ben ferguson and maria cardona. mitt romney is close. 49 and change and 50 and change behind mike kennedy. let's put up the 2012 numbers. i want to say again a drum beat of inevitability for a nominee but 93% in utah in 2012 in the primary. what happened to mitt romney? is this a rejection of romney or the president? >> i think it's definitely a rejection of romney more than the president because mitt romney has always been his own man. the only time he got close to the president when he thought he might have the job of becoming the secretary of state and they started warming up to one another. you know what he feels about the president. he said it's too early for me to tell. i think this is mitt romney as a bad candidate. have you a grass roots candidate on the ground there who has done a really good job.

i like primaries. i think you should have to prove yourself just because you ran for president or just because you have a big name or just because you have a lot of money doesn't mean you should automatic get through a general election so i'm glad this happened and probably make mitt romney a better candidate. he has to work harder for this and not take it for granted. if he loses this primary, i wouldn't be surprised honestly because when you have grassroot support on the ground for another candidate things like this happen. >> maria? >> i kind of agree with ben. i do think that primaries are good. this is good for the state of utah. i know some issues with mitt romney and some of the voters in utah thinking he might be a carpet bagger and so i think that this will make mitt romney work harder and i think he is doing just that. there is an issue with also the process of a gop nomination in utah that, as as i understand it, and mitt romney went around the state and got like 52,000

signatures and some folks for the utah caucus didn't like that process and went against him. also what i hear from therthe g for romney is quite deep. i think it will help him of the red states utah is one of the ones that least support for the president. i think going into the midterm election where we do anticipate a huge blue wave, i don't think it will hit utah. but i think it speaks volumes about the unpopularity of the president nationwide and especially in a state like utah. >> let's talk about the decision that so many have spoken with republicans, both senate and house, are reluctant to endorse the president's renomination bid and add romney's name to that

list. ben, why the reluctance? >> i think it's going to hurt those candidates because the bottom line he is the president of the united states of america and some republicans and a lot of republicans that are in trouble and in trouble because they didn't do what they said they were going to do. >> john cornyn is a rhineo? >> they did what they said they were repeal and replace obamacare and did not do it and job was to funding the border wall and they did not do it and they said they were going to lower our deficit. they didn't do it. the deficit has gone up in this last spending bill was an embarrassment. many people like myself said if these guys get voted out they deserved it. deserve to get voted out. arrogance factor. i'm my own man and i'm independent and i'm not going to support the president of the united states of america donald trump because i don't agree with him on things. i think a dumb political move and i think arrogant move and i

hope it comes back to bite them in the butt. >> do you endorse the president's re-election? >> absolutely i do and if something changes between now and the beginning between now and election day you can always re-evaluate this but a lot of this comes down to -- >> now you're helening excla he >> donald trump won because the establishment and so many voters hated bob corker of the world and look how many republicans are dropping not running for re-election. bob corker is a great example. he would not win his re-election bid in tennessee because of that arrogant factor many of them have. >> maria, i know you want to weigh in on this reluctance to endorsement but i have to ask you about the dnc lawsuit filed against the trump campaign and several russians and wiki leaks. what happened to the better deal plan that democrats were saying they were running on? and now got a lawsuit from the dnc they are pushing. >> i actually think it's a really good move.

look. the democrats can walk and chew gum at the same time. we have proven that because we have proven we can win elections. look at baalabama. look at the 40 seats at the state legislature level we have flipped from red to blue? look at the blue wave we are focusing on november and look at the 25,000 women candidates who are running, which is historic. look at why republicans are reluctant to endorse this president because a lot of them are running in swing districts that hillary clinton won or that trump won with less than 10%. they are scared because they know that this president is running on, you know, historic and popularity. this suit also does a couple of things, victor. it is a civil suit so it has nothing to do with criminal probe that mueller is focusing on. it actually does allow for democrats to be fighting back. this is personal for them. it is also patriotic because we have an occupant of the on the

floor office who doesn't care about the russian meddling and doesn't care we were act and to use john mccain's words that russia perpetrated an act of war. if he is not going to protect our democracy and our constitutional and our institutions, democrats well. >> ben, 30 seconds and then breaking news. >> i mean this so sincerely to maria and the democrats and a great idea and thank you for this gift. the only thing left in this. >> you're welcome. >> you're not going to invite the president to your birthday party? how childish can you get? there are investigations all over the place and you're basically saying that is not enough, we are going to sue somebody because we don't like the fact that he won a free and fair election and all i can say is this completely marginalizes your talking points going into the mid terms. i love it so i agree with you. >> it actually adds. it adds to the democrats' message. we care about the russia election and republicans don't. >> thank you both.

>> thank you. >> thanks, victor. breaking news this hour. a manhunt right now looking for a man who is wearing just a green jacket or was wearing a green jacket and walked into a nashville waffle house at 3:30 this morning and shot three people dead. several more are injured. we have more details now. we will bring those to you on the other side of the break. do stay close.

breaking news out of the nashville area. three people dead and several others injured after a shooting at a waffle house and this is specifically in antioch. the gunman is believed to be naked. he ran off after the shooting, police say. as they investigate the

incident, police say they are looking for this man. 29-year-old travis rinken from morton, illinois. >> we have an affiliate reporting there who spoke to the pio don aarons just a moment ago. listen to this. >> let me go what has happened here. 3:25 this morning the police department received a call of an active shooter at the waffle house. when officers responded, they found two individuals who had been fatally wounded outside the restaurant and a third person deceived inside. there were other persons also hurt. at least six persons, including the deceived, were shot. according to witnesses, the person of interest in this matter a travis reinking arrived in his pickup truck. he got out. persons were outside the restaurant talking. he shot them. he then went inside the restaurant, more shots were fired and one of the patrons was hit. another patron who had tried to

flee the gunfire saw that ryanking was apparently struggling and looking at his rifle at that point the patron rushed him and able to toss the weapon across the counter. ryanking left the restaurant and last seen walking northbound on murfreesboro pike and he was nude and when he came into the store he was wearing a green jacket and shed the jacket a short distance from the restaurant and there have been reports here in the past few minutes of seeing a person nude in this area, in this immediate antioch area. the last report was in a wooded area near an apartment complex. the police department special response team, officers from a variety of components of the police department, as well as our helicopter, is up now trying to find him. >>, in total, six or seven victims? >> a total of eight persons were injured. at least six of them shot.

of those persons who were shot, four were fatal. one person who was critical injured who was taken from here to vanderbilt has since died. >> so four people dead. there was another scene at murfreesboro pike near laverne couchville pike send that related to this and, if so, how? >> i know there was a witness in the restaurant who fled the property and went down to a convenience market south of here. that may be what you're speaking of. that was a witness went there and made a report and it took a minute or two to make sure that she wasn't talking about a separate incident but she wasn't. she was a witness to this. >> reporter: also, the metro police tweet you put out with ryanking and his picture he is a person of interest. he ask nis he now a suspect? >> the truck in the parking lot comes back to him and physical

description provided by witnesses is very close to his photograph. no warrants have been issued. but i think it's safe to say a person of interest or suspect in this matter would be synonymous. >> reporter: do you know anything about him? has he been arrested before in this area? >> we are efforting to learn more about him. his driver's license comes back to morton, illinois. we have been in touch with authorities in illinois. they have certain information about him that we are assimilating now. >> reporter: do you know anything about the victims who died? were they all customers or anyone who worked there? >> i don't have victim information at this particular time. >> reporter: any police officer report? >> no. >> reporter: anything else you'd like to add? >> just individuals in this area need to know that this travis reinking is at large and we are doing everything we can to find him. reports of a nude man walking, first of all, on murfreesboro road south and now more recently

in a wooded area. keep your doors locked and eyes open and if you see this individual, if you see a nude guy walking around this morning, call the police department immediately. that person is, more than likely, the suspect in this. >> reporter: do you believe he is armed? >> all right. thank you for all of that from our affiliate reporter there. four people now dead as police look for the suspect. they are asking anyone with information, if you see anything, call this number, 615-862-8600. we are back in a moment. heartburn! no one burns on my watch! try alka seltzer... ultra strength heartburn relief chews. with more acid-fighting power than tums chewy bites. mmmmm...amazing. i have heartburn. heartburn relief from alka-seltzer. enjoy the relief. at a comfort inn with a glow taround them, so people watching will be like, "wow, maybe i'll glow too if i book direct at choicehotels.com." who glows?

where is your book? >> in my locker. >> what good is it doing in there? >> we have noticed a shift in behavior this year. was there any kind of traumatic event? >> get off him. >> i got older. >> the director of "and then i go" is with us now. thank you so much. we appreciate you being here. i understand that you had some trepidations in terms of shooting this movie because it is very polarizing but now that it's done how do you feel about it? what is the take away? >> well, i mean, yes, anytime you tackle this kind of subject matter for me i was nervous because i'm tackling something that is a hot button right now. not so much the political aspect of it because this movie really

doesn't take a stance on that, it really dove into the emotions of kids at that awkward age. there are victims so i wanted to be cognizant of that and walking a tight rope. i felt like if we showed the compassion that the book did and stayed true to that we were going to be okay because that is how i was moved. >> the book project x is what this is based on. you say this isn't about the politics of it or the school shooting itself. it's about the friendships and relationships that kids have and the emotional mindset of these kids. what did you learn about we as adults and what we might be missing? what is the disconnect between us and our teens? >> well, i think the scary reality is that the stuff a lot of these kids go through that turn to violence, the behavior

what they go through that leave them there is entirely more relatable. there is very sort of group of things that you see it is easy to point at whether mental illness or gun control. as adults we kind of forget that time in our life when it was really awkward and emotions were elevated to levels, you kind of forget that about. i think the disconnect comes as an adult in five years don't worry about this, you will be fine this is the time to get it. i feel like that could invalidate their feelings. their reality is their reality right then. it is important to think about that. >> let them know we need them. back in the day many of us -- there are a lot of adults who

know what that is like to some degree and they didn't have a volatile consequence to that. and it's not always about bullying. it's about mental illness in some cases, as well. i want to listen with you here to a teen who was a shooter at his former high school. let's listen to what he had to say. >> i put it in a guitar case. i had a tactical vest filled with shotgun slug rounds. >> inside the jail he claims he has been treated for mental health before but wanted more serious attention paid to his problems now, saying taking lives wasn't part of his plan. >> now i'm really scared. i want to be put away so i can't hurt anyone.

>> what did shooting this movie teach you about how what kids are dealing with now is leading to such violent consequences? why this is their choice? >> it's such a complicated thing. there is no single answer to it. i think that in some cases there are kids like him. our film tackles before a tragedy. we typically see what happens afterward. so tackling before for me it didn't make sense to sort of classify a kid that does this as a monster or he is evil. it was more diving into that early stage where this develops and where a kid develops into that. i'm sure there are some cases that they are mentally unstable. i do think there are elements of

that the kids are surrounded by that lead them there. i feel like a lot of it has to do with everyone doing their part and there will be moments like this that happen. >> and everyone doing their part means what to you? >> for me it's like you have access to guns in parents' homes that are an issue. it's about being a responsible parent and locking them up and having them restored and there is no access to it. kids themselves in school i remember seeing a lot of bullying. not so much that you need to step up and fight but whether you need to be there for somebody or tell somebody or speak up about it i think there is an element of that. >> they have to know that they are hurt at the end of the day. as adults we need to hear these kids and listen to them. i'm so sorry that we have run out of time.
