remember, president obama's quip in 2012 when mitt romney emphasized his concern for russia. this is what president obama said when mitt romney emphasized his concerns with russia in 2012, direct quote. the 1980s are calling to ask for their foreign-policy back. that was president obama in 2012. i think many of us now see that president obama's approach to russia could have used more of the 1980s, more ronald reagan and less jimmy carter. we would have been better off if the obama administration hadn't swept vladimir putin's occupation of georgia under the rug or looked away as russia for southwestern ngos and cracks down on civil society. if president obama hadn't let asad triple his redline in syria or embraced vladimir putin's fake deal on chemical weapons. of the obama administration had responded firmly to vladimir putin's occupation of ukraine in 2014 to the assassination of boris him soft and russian interference in syria. may be stronger leadership would have left the criminal less a motive, tampering with our democracy wouldn't have seemed so very tempting. instead t

i never see mitt romney as seething. >> really? >> but he must be relieved that he is not secretary of state. remember once upon a time he was up for that position as well. i think many republicans who disagree with some of this president's policies and rhetoric have the strategy of saying as mitt said over the weekend that i will agree with him on issues and be vocal about issues that i agree with him on and speak out on policies that i disagree with him. >> i think that's the exception. i think by and large republicans are behind the president 100%. >> his argument that the elements of obstruction are not there is on its face ridiculous. there are 1,000 prosecutors, democrats, republicans, career people, nonpolitical people who have signed a letter saying that all of the elements of obstruction are there. the second part of his argument is valid, which is maybe the public doesn't want this, this is very political. but for mitt romney to say the elements of obstruction aren't there is on its face absolutely ridiculous. >> going ba

and mitt romney like justin amash, i'm sure read the entire report because that's the type of thing mitt romney does. and i believe amash is correct when he says a most of these congress people who are just spouting and parroting talking points from the trump campaign and the trump white house have not red the report. i mean, i know it's probably shocking to most americans to hear that most members of congress did not take the time to read 400 pages. >> is it part of their constitutional duty? >> of course it is, but it should also be to put country over party and to put constitution over a president of that party. what i do hope happens with democrats is that they continue asking and demanding that bob mueller come and testify. precisely because there can be different conclusions reached because it's why we need to hear from bob mueller. it's now been almost two months. it's been 59 days since this report came out. what the trump folks are counting on is the drum beat dying down and us getting distracted with the other 100 things that have happened since then. we need to hear from bob m

senator mitt romney joining us.d to see you. >> good to be with you. >> we have a lot of foreign policy but this is the first time you've appeared on a sunday show since the mueller report was released. he said, i'm sickened at the pervasiveness and dishonesty in the highest office of the land, including the president. i'm appalled fellow citizens working on a campaign for president welcomed help from russia. you and congressman amash are the only two elected republicans, i think, to express any misgivings about the behavior of the president or his campaign team based on the mueller report. first of all, are you surprised you two are the only ones that have really said anything condemning of the president's behavior as laid out? >> i think every individual has to make their own judgment. i think it helps to actually have read the entire document. it's a long document. it took me two full days to get through it. the second volume is more difficult to get through than the first. hopefully more people read it. i think

what if you are a trump critic like say, mitt romney who gets to vote on that promotion?is showing stuff here. we never know when it's going to come, but once in a while, you see strength. back after this. a while, you see strength back after this. i felt i couldn't be at my best wifor my family. c, in only 8 weeks with mavyret, i was cured and left those doubts behind. i faced reminders of my hep c every day. but in only 8 weeks with mavyret, i was cured. even hanging with friends i worried about my hep c. but in only 8 weeks with mavyret, i was cured. mavyret is the only 8-week cure for all common types of hep c. before starting mavyret your doctor will test if you've had hepatitis b which may flare up and cause serious liver problems during and after treatment. tell your doctor if you've had hepatitis b, a liver or kidney transplant, other liver problems, hiv-1, or other medical conditions, and all medicines you take including herbal supplements. don't take mavyret with atazanavir or rifampin, or if you've had certain liver problems. common side effects include headach

this is senator mitt romney yesterday on state of the union. listen to this. >> my own view is that justin amash reached a different conclusion than i have. i respect him. i think it is a courageous statement. but i believe to make a case for obstruction of justice, you just don't have the elements that are evidenced in this document. i also believe that an impeachment call is not only something that relates to the law, but considers practicality and politics. the american people just aren't there. >> what are your thoughts on that, margaret? >> sort of by taking a big step forward which amash has done he'll make himself a target. you are seeing the likelihood now of a primary challenge, maybe faster and more ferociously than before. he's an interesting figure. he rose up in the tea party movement of 2010. it was going to take on the republican orthodoxy and succeeded. now the republican party has changed. democrats will try to use it to make a case that there is bipartisanship toward impeachment. what it may do though is create space in the mi

and so the concept was, we take the mitt teams, that are operating, in an area, and we'll use u.s. conventional forces, or u.s. line units, to provide security, and enhance those military transition teams, and by doing so, by enhancing that capability, we will therefore be able to accelerate the transition of these iraqi security forces. the competing model which was fielded, really revisited, and fielded in 2007, was the partnering of u.s. forces with iraqi forces, and this was made possible by the surge of u.s. units into baghdad and the surrounding areas. so more units, more headquarters, translated into the ability to, for those headquarters and those soldiers to partner with iraqi army and national police units in their sectors, and so you had a synergy, between the partnership of units and the ongoing work of the military transition teams, which were still in place, but both of those aspects were under the control of the brigade combat team commander in the sector, and so you achieved a certain synergy, particularly as the baghdad security plan was developed and implemented.

jake tapper will sit down with mitt romney next hour on "state of the union." you have voices like ben sasse who have tried to bottle up thursday frustration, but on blinders and move on. does this say something? >> the reality is if nothing up to this point as we sit here in the middle of may, 18 months before an election, if nothing has happened now that has caused republicans to leaved reservation, i think this will not either. people are afraid. the ben sasses of the world -- how long has it been since he spoke out? he's trying to think of his own pry matter. the reality is every time these senators take a small vote -- look at senator roy blunt. he defied the republican party just a touch and got slapped by some -- of his own conservatives in missouri. the reality is, this will not change much, but it does open the door to the conversation and it forces every republican to be asked about this. i think at the end of the day they're afraid of the president's base and they won't talk about it. >> to your point about speaker pelosi, she was a couple weeks ago

this time the republican nominee was mitt romney, and mitt romney that year carried montana, won montana over barack obama by solid double-digits. unless, that same year, that same night in 2012, democrat steve bullock won the governorship, even as the state went red for the presidency again that same night. then four years later, 2016, he ran for reelection as governor. again, not easy for a democrat to win statewide in a red state, this time again in a presidential election year. this time it was republican donald trump who that same election night trounced hillary clinton by 20 points in montana. but even as the state went that red that night in november 2016, democrat steve bullock was re-elected governor that same night. and it's not like he's just squeaking by. by some measure, steve bullock is the most popular democratic governor in the country, and he's governing as definitely a democrat. i will note for the record that now that he is governor, he now gets the privilege of announcing to the state when the minimum wage goes up every year because of that battle he led and won with

the most notable republican to speak out on that, mitt romney, spoke on "state of the union" and said he respects justin amarshal and decision to stick to his guns and perspective on this, he does not believe the president committed impeachable offenses. listen to what he told jake this morning. >> my own view is that justin amash has reached a different conclusion than i have. i respect him. i think it's a courageous statement. but i believe that to make a case for obstruction of justice, you just don't have the elements that are evidenced in this document. and i also believe that an impeachment call is not only something that relates to the law, but also considers practicality and politics. and the american people just aren't there. and i think those that are considering impeachment have to look also at the jury which would be the senate. the senate is certainly not there, either. everyone reaches their own conclusion. as i read the report, i was troubled by it. was very disappointing. for a number of reasons. but it did not suggest to me that this was time to call for impeachment.

mitt romney won't go as far as amash but still believes the president has to set a higher standard. >> i think it's a courageous statement but i believe to make a case for obstruction of justice you just don't have the elements that are evidence to this document. the president has distanced himself from some of the best qualities of the human character. i think he could substantially improve his game when it comes to helping shape the character o. country. >> meanwhile, barr's characterization characterization of the mueller report is under criticism of eric holder, saying he does not stand up to the good people he leads. he is not fit to lead doj. president trump attacking free speech, press freedoms and fox news in a single tweet. hard to believe fox is using air time on pete. the president apparently mad that his favorite network is even covering the 2020 democratic field. fox hosted a pete buttigieg town hall sunday night, the south bend mayor and democratic contender took on fox and also reached out to their viewers. >> when you've got tucker carlson saying that immigrants make a

mitt romney had a walking the line response to this. anybody else sticking their neck out this morning? instead what you have is justin on an island alone. that's not unusual for this congressman. he was elected in 2010 as a member of the tea party. he came into office basically arguing that the executive branch's power had become too broad and he's held that belief despite the fact we now have a republican in the white house. that is unusual. you saw over the weekend justin tweeting and slamming his republican colleagues both for not read iing the full mueller report and not going out there and argue iing the same thing t would have argued if president obama was the president saying they had changed their positions 180 degrees depend iing on who in office. now over the weekend, you heard from mitt romney saying that he didn't agree with justin's conclusions on cnn saying that he thought it was admirable someone is speaking out, but he doesn't agree with him. you had the leader of the republicans in the house saying that justin is tryin

mitt romney says amash reached a different conclusion than he did on impeachment. >> i respect him. it's a courageous statement, but i believe that to make a case for obstruction of justice, you just don'tave the elements that are evidenced in this document. >> reporter: but amash still standing apart from his party. democrats are divided on pushing impeachment, but speaker nancy pelosisi aled she may now be open to it as a means of forcing administration into the school. there were chairs knocked off backwards. kids had oun out their shoes. >> i had to remind self that this was my job. this was what i had trained for. >> reporter: but they say they can never really train forhe emotional toll. caring for the bodies of young people who had been gunned down. >> i promised myself that i would not, while i was there, think about my own kids. or thinkut the parents of the kids that were dead. >> reporter: and so they did their jobs that day, but each still carries that burden. >> pbably a family member of a victim wod wonder -- i wonder what the injurieswere. i wonder if they suffered. o

at least mitt romney got that. he said this judge s

about mitt and me. but i would do it in the style. that i've been that lost a lot of late if it wasn't anybody to fit the bill from the ballot it would not be a book as i laid it up at the desk this was a. good book and. on the day i know. that a. big whatever this is that this is that. i learned to walk the mc i live to see how someone. may give us a while but. then think now we're going to laugh at. one of them one after another. magical haven't turned them up that high to yourself or off them oh my god i have been i say. this if yeah to. action the way out of the can be compared to those you can use difficult if you have to. learn who works in the film industry. she's a wardrobe assistant who dreams of becoming an actress she thinks bleaching the skin will help become a movie star. being the. joke and i thought it was really good. so they got a new practice and if that's the best be the one of them it is food. it is some i guess you never know when it. was the mobile the how one think of the who. didn't live there but we're going t

we have to look at mitt romney who fought it as a candidate in 2012.hen he finally let them go, it was a one-day story. >> it is an elective for a candidate to reveal in taxes. that is what the white house is trying to remind people of. he doesn't have to reveal those taxes. >> he doesn't have to, unless the chairman of the ways and means committee asks for them. the law is clear that is there. we also, there's so many questions the trump administration and his behaviors raised over the last two years, specifically, why he has been so gentle with putin and russia in the face of opposition from democrats and republicans. perhaps the tax returns help us understand why that is. >> that's at the root of why you think, why your committee believes it is necessary, important, impairtive to see the president's tax returns. you are talking six years prior to his presidency. >> that's correct. many of the businesses, also. there's so much suspicious activity around there. enough that even during the campaign, the fbi thought there might be reason to look into wh

congressman amash is parroting democratic talking points, others like mitt romney, won't go as far as amash but believes the president has to set a higher standard. >> i think it's a courageous statement but i believe that to make a case for obstruction of justice, you just don't have the elements that are evidence to this document. the president has distanced himself from some of the best qualities of the human character. i think he could substantially improve his game when it comes to helping shape the character of the country. >> meanwhile, barr's characterization of the mueller report is now under criticism from former attorney general eric holder. he accuses barr of protecting the president and said he does not stand up for the good people he leads. he is not fit to lead doj. >>> free speech, press freedoms and fox news all under attack by the president in a single tweet saying quote hard to believe that fox news is wasting air time on mayor pete. fox is moving more and more to the losing wrong side in covering the dems. the president apparently mad that his favorite network is e

. >> isn't mitt romney correct? zbhi don't agree with mitt romney.hink if you look at the inflation rates since the earlier tariffs, you don't see the inflation rate has gone down. if consumers are paying more, why wouldn't they go up? >> the president said today he's never heard a farmer express frustration about these policies. we have. take a listen to an american farmer hurt in this trade war with china and preparing to lose a significant chunk of his income. >> between me and my daughter together probably $150,000. >> did you vote for trum snp. >> trump? >> i did. i'll never vote for him again. >> i know you know this. this is the reason for the $16 billion in bailout money. this are real farmers out there who are hurting from the tariffs. >> there is legitimate anxiety about prices which have gone down long before president trump came into office. this say long term slide. obviously the tariffs have compounded that. the fact is president trump's tariffs and the retaliatory tariffs in china is not the only reason his economic stress in the commu

in fact, it is probably the one thing on which mitt romney and bernie sanders can agree. ignore china at your own peril. don't believe them? believe something else. history. perhaps this nifty chart sums it up. you see that blue line? that is china. you see the yellow line? that's us. if joe was talking about the china 1980, he would be right. see that blue line back then? that is when china represented little more than 2% of the world's commission output. no competition indeed to the u.s., which at that time was ten times bigger. i want you to watch that blue line going up and that yellow line going down over the many years since. now who is the bigger player? who is the bigger threat? it might be news to job but apparently not to the international monetary fund that tracks these things and states that china is the fastest growing economy on earth, which is why ever why one wants to sell stuff there and do business there. which is why china runs trade surpluses with the world, including a nearly half trillion dollar one with just us; which is also why president trump say

at least mitt romney got that. he said this judge said some things disparaging of president obama and having been the republican nominee in 2012 i couldn't sign-on to that for a district judge. at least one senator in that party still sees being righteous as more important than being on the right side of this president, and he deserves good credit for being called out and so do the others for what they did and why. thank you for watching. "cnn tonight" with d. lemon in the new digs starts right now. >> blind partisanship. blind partisanship, but can you -- can you really apply that to this administration because this is how i feel and correct me if i'm wrong, there are the democrats, right? there are traditional republicans and then there are the trumpsters, and when i hear people say i'm a real republican, i believe in traditional republican value, and then you have the people who just go along with him, and i think they're more than republicans. they're just kind of trumpsters. >> yeah, i put them all in the same

mitt romney was more democratic. a really trying to say that amash walks his own path and not a member of conference. so much of this plays out on twitter. we have seen in the past where he's been critical of the president before. so it's not a huge break. it's still significant and worth looking at, but he's not the kind of person who is going to have people line upping up behind him based on what we have seen so far. >> isn't the president prurveun down a little bit in focusing on this? >> the president of the united states is someone who likes an opponent, any opponent, frankly. that's where his campaign and his aids say he's at his best. that's why you might wonder the mueller report is out in the public view and will find him on twitter reeling against bob mueller. so this is a president who enjoys punching. if he has a faux or someone good to go after, he's going to do that. amash has a primary opponent. it seems that person was going to get in the the race anyhow. but is this something where the president twee

. >> we have heard mitt romney. he has been public about how he has felt about president trump. yet, you've seen his comments on amash. and he, by the way, wasn't as harsh as his niece and the republican house leader. listen to what he said. >> my own view is that justin amash has reached a different conclusion than i have. i respect him. i think it's a courageous statement. as i read the report, i was troubled by it. it was very disappointing for a number of reasons but it decide not suggest to me this was time to call for impeachment. >> joe walsh calls him courageous but doesn't agree with it. >> brooke, that's classic mitt romney wanting to have it both ways and afraid to take a stance. look, again, amash spoke the truth, and i think kevin mccarthy, you're getting so much pushback now that republicans because they don't want other republicans to come out and say what amash said. amash, i know him well. he's one of the most conservative members of the reason caucus, but it no longer matters where you are on issues now. you've got to pray and bow and worship to this president
