president obama during that debate in 2012 when he mocked mitt romney for that xwhent. . >> governor romney, a few months ago when you asked what's the biggest -- you said russia, not al-qaeda in the 1980s or not, call and ask for their foreign policy back because the cold war's been over for 20 years. >> do you think mitt romney, obviously, that bugs mitt romney. that's where this op-ed is coming from. does romney have a point? >> up to a point, he has a point. you could argue this russia was turning into more of a rival than the president acknowledged. however, what's the biggest geo political threat, iran. you wouldn't say it's russia and so, he's still wrong on that specific point. >> can i add something? iran is one of those issues which we're working with russia to try and control. >> we hope the russians are still going to work with us. >> right, but that is part of the complicated world in which we have to deal. and mitt romney didn't acknowledge that in his pete. >> all right. i will leave it there. nothing like politicizing a foreign policy crisis, but hey, we're a political

you know, he didn't like mitt romney. he thought mitt romney was too wishy washy.hese guys know that. but he has not made a choice on who his favorite is. he doesn't know these guys as well as he knew some of the folks, especially newt gingrich as you know. i do think that he is going to be predisposed to someone outside of washington, to a governor as opposed to a senator or a congressman. >> john rolston, ni nia malik-henderson. thank you. coming up, the argument about contraception in the supreme court today. and later, the rest of the show is going to be sports night. paying college athletes, that's the big question that i will answer in the rewrite. and then also, the nfl team in washington, d.c. made an announcement about its name. ups is a global company, but most of our employees live in the same communities that we serve. people here know that our operations have an impact locally. we're using more natural gas vehicles than ever before. the trucks are reliable, that's good for business. but they also reduce emissions, and that's good for everyone. it makes

does mitt romney deserve a presidential apology? >> no, he's not going to apologize, eric. what i will say ihe balance of power and of the influence america should have and that we should be respected. instead, we have a president completely confused about foreign policy and weakened our position internationally. putin doesn't respect him. red line, please. he's going to cross whatever line he wants, unfortunately. >> well done kg. we report, you decide. we're going to say thanks to michelle fields, kimberly and >> what have you got? >> it's a company that does photo compaction and for high definition systems and cameras. it sold off a little last week so i think it's bargain. >> where's the other guy? >> well, we got rid of him. he'll be back next week. he'll be back next week. thanks, wayne. great week. that's it. thanks for joining us. before we go, we want to thank you our loyal viewers, you made this show america's top rated cable muse show last weekend and the most viewed of any of the last five weekends. we promise to continue to defend our constitution and our repub

russia's recent aggression remember this moment from the 2012 recent debate where the president mocked mitt romney labelling russia america's top geopolitical foe. >> governor romney, i am glad you recognize al qaeda's test a few months ago you said the biggest threat is russia. not al qaeda, you said russia. >> two years later the president visiting the moment when asked at a press conference if mitt romney was right. >> russia has been getting worldwide attention for the aggressive behavior recently. president obama labeled them a regional power. diplomacy doesn't make it fall in line it doesn't mean america is weak. >> are you concerned america's influence on the world is on the decline? >> i think the premise of the question is whenever the united states objects to an action and other countries don't do exactly what we want that has been the norm that would erase much of the 20th century history. >> mitt romney's claim that russia is number one geopolitical foe. the president stood by that saying he's more concerned about a nuclear blast in new york. mitt romney says the facts are on his side.

you will spend your june summer elsewhere. >> and back to the mitt romney. he world said it is a messy place. and romney argued you need to anticipateentious vents and shape them as a leader in this world. how are we doing on this? >> the president has been in some case and some instances retiring. but he is so passive. and frankly so contradictory. he is the man who said speaking of iranians and iranian sponsored terrorism. thee didn't care about the protocol and he would meet with anyone. and now they will say in the g- seven. we'll not engage and discussion with the russians. that's unfortunate. this president has an opportunity in the stage he is standing on in brussels after the hague, to say to sergei la vrov, i know it breaks protocol. but we need to come together in reason and this is an act of a true leader and governor romney is exactly right. just as there was a failure of intelligence leading up to the tragedy of 9/11, this is a failure of his administration to acted on this intelligence. surely it was obvious to everyone. colonel ralph peters pre

>>> and mitt romney thinks president obama should be able to see the future.h, he is making this one too easy. we got you, next. predicting the future is a pretty difficult thing to do. but, manufacturing in the united states means advanced technology. we learned that technology allows us to be craft oriented. no one's losing their job. there's no beer robot that has suddenly chased them out. the technology is actually creating new jobs. siemens designed and built the right tools and resources to get the job done. some brokerage firms are but way too many aren't. why? because selling their funds makes them more money. which makes you wonder. isn't that a conflict? search "proprietary mutual funds". yikes!! then go to e*trade. we've got over 8,000 mutual funds and not one of them has our name on it. we're in the business of finding the right investments for you. e*trade. less for us, more for you. the fund's prospectus contains its investment objectives, risks, charges, expenses and other important information and should be read and considered carefully before

naivete with regards to russia has led to a number of foreign policy challenges. >> do you think mitt romneyect to mr. romney's assertion, russia's actions are a problem.

nooaivete wi regards to russia has led to a number of foreign policy challenges. >> do you think mitt romneyo mr. romney's

in the 2012 presidential debate, president obama just hammered mitt romney for supporting that. >> a major difference in this campaign is that governor romney feels comfortable having politicians in washington decide the health care choices that women are making. i think that's a mistake. in my health care bill, i said insurance companies need to provide contraceptive coverage to everybody who's insured. governor romney not only opposed it, he suggested that, in fact, employers should be able to make the decision as to whether or not a woman gets contraception through her insurance coverage. >> mitt romney, this is very interesting, he initially denied that that was his position. he said, "i don't believe employers should tell someone whether they can have contraceptive care or not. every woman in america should have access to contraceptives." but, in fact, he did actually support the blunt amendment and the blunt amendment really did say that women can't get access to contraception through their health insurance if their boss says so. kind of does sound terrible when you put it that

this is john kerry bashing sarah palin and mitt romney over their short sightedness over russia. >> he's even blurted out the preposterous notion that russia is our number one political, geopolitical foe. sarah palin said she could see russia from alaska. mitt, mitt romney talks like he's only seen russia by watching rocky iv. >> oh, my gosh. >> bob, that -- that's disgusting. sarah palin is a secretary of state than john kerry. >> let's put this into perspective. back during that period, ukraine was always a centerpiece of the right's argument about how russia was going to be the first place they were going to go, georgia and ukraine. i'm not surprised he said it. a lot of people were saying, she was not alone. having said that, i still wonder today if this were today and ronald reagan were in office today, what would he do? stand on the border of ukraine and say, go back home, russia? what would he do? >> i don't know. >> we're interested in what our president is going to do and how to handle it. >> we talked about this. does the eu -- >> reagan was in power, let's face it. >> it's the

elliott accident better with women in virginia then mitt romney did. i think there is some slicing and dicing going on. committee level, we are trying to do our best and improve our position with women under 35. it will take work. it won't happen overnight. i think you'll see some success with obamacare being on the table. they bode well for the republican party. there are a bunch of people in the room who would like to hear your updates on convention cities. this friday, denver, las -- dallas,cincinnati will be at the rnc because of the snow we had. we had eight cities that bid on the convention. four years ago, we had three. there is a lot of interest in the convention. i don't know what the increase is all about. i think hosting is very difficult. we are very excited about where we are going. we are going to make the announcement in august. that might be something new the you have not heard of. my guess is we are going to probablye cities down 23 some time in may or june. then we will narrow it down to two. booming fee announcement in august. inthen

and mitt romney's claims during the presidential campaign that america's number one geopolitical foe that russia is behaving so abominably, was mitt romney right. >> in right of recent developments, do you think mitt romney had a point when he said that russia is america's biggest geopolitical foe, if not russia, who? >> with respect to mr. romney's assertion that russia is our number one geopolitical foe, the truth of the matter is that america has got a whole lot of challenges. russia is a regional power that is threatening some of its immediate neighbors, not out of strength but out of weakness. ukraine has been a country in which russia had enormous influence for decades since the breakup of the soviet union. and, you know, we have considerable influence on our neighbors. we generally don't need to invade them in order to have a strong cooperative relationship with them. the fact that russia felt compelled to go in militarily and lay bear these violations of international law indicatesless influence, not more. >> president obama yesterday in the netherlands explaining that russia

even invited mitt romney. not chris christie. he was snubbed by cpac. supposedly this was a disaster for chris christie. he wanted to run for president in 2016 but just cozied up to barack obama. he'd snubbed mitt romney a week before the election. now his party's base was getting its revenge. telling them they didn't want him at his big annual gathering. the reality, though, that supposed disaster was actually a gift to christie. because christie had almost nothing to gain and had a lot to lose if he'd been anywhere near cpac last year. that's because last year was an election year in new jersey. christie's re-election year. his goal wasn't just to win re-election but his own admission to run up a score in a deeply blue state that voted for obama by 17 points over mitt romney. chris christie wanted, chris christie needed a big chunk of those obama voters. moderates and liberals in new jersey who don't usually vote republican. he needed them to vote for him in 2013 so he could turn around and tell national republicans that he, and he alone, had the form

sarah palin endorsed a candidate this week, she already had mitt romney's endorsement.are not are getting endorsements for her from the late night comedians, brace yourself, it is it. >> i'm joni ernst, i grew up on a farm in washington, cutting hogs, so when i get to washington let's make them squeal. >> she needs to stop right now, you do the ad once, and try to redeem yourself. >> so you use it to get attention. >> what else could it possibly be for? and you get the feeling that sarah palin was dying to get a jab back, that involved the theme of a pig. because president obama at one time made a lipstick on a pig crack. >> probably part of the trick, she has not shown she can raise a lot of money, but if she can get a lot of name id by doing this, hey, a great idea. >> but don't forget what the kick is, mother, son, soldier -- these are ways you can run. if you have both sarah palin and mitt romney backing you, you can be a credible opponent to a candidate who has the money advantage, now you have a path. >> and it starts with joni ernst conservative, what about sarah

now he was asked if governor romney was actually right. >> do you think mitt romney had a point when he said that russia is america's biggest geo political foe. >> with respect to mr. romney's assertion that russia is our number one geo political foe, the truth of the matter is, america's got a whole lot of challenges. russia is a regional power that is threatening some of its immediate neighbors. russia's actions are a problem. they don't pose the number one national security threat to the united states. i continue to be much more concerned when it comes to our security with the prospect of a nuclear weapon going off in manhattan. >> regional power? here to respond, the man himself, former presidential candidate, governor mitt romney. good to see you, how are you? >> great, sean. >> you look healthy, rested. >> thank you, i feel good. >> what's your reaction to that, a regional power? >> russia plays a part in many regions in the world, not only eastern europe, but the middle east now, the caribbean, they have a destroyer in cuba. i'm not sure where the president's going, but i think

mitt romney was right what country in the world respects america more? what country in the world thinks we are stronger today five years into the obama administration? that's just a sad fact, and vladimir putin is strong because we are weak. that's just a fact. >> i've got to leave it there. we are flat out of time. david axelrod, you're a great sport. i appreciate you coming on the show very very much form mary madeline as always. senator johnson will be around for a while, but now it's time for a very special moment for me. many of you know the "the kudlow report" actually started years ago as "kudlow & cramer" before we were both spun off to maximize profits, my great pal is going to here to join me.

a little later on in the answer about whether mitt romney was right or wrong.id russia is not a super power. russia is a local power, he called them. vlad putin is litsening and he's only 1600 miles away from moscow, listening to president obama saying he's scaling back our military, the united states military, and calls russia a local power. boy, is he asking for trouble. >> bob, how does it benefit the united states to have the president do a tour to say we're cutting down on the military? >> because the audience he had there, all the european nations have put up the money. the united states put up the money and blood and they have been willing to do it. he's saying no more. we're going to have a leaner military, we're going to cut back, and you, whether it's the caucasus, iran, iraq, going into afghanistan, go all through it, and the united states has paid with money and with blood, and it's time for these people to step forward. the germans said they couldn't do it before because of the treaty they signed after world war ii. that's been abruicated, they're

it's mitt romney.seen him publicly say over and over again that it had absolutely no effect or role in the race, either subjectively for the way he felt or objectively in the way the polls were at the time. the answer is no. >> he was gracious about it, but it doesn't mean the voters will be, right? >> let's do a focusest fastest seven. can he survive or come back from the bear hug? >> survive to do what? he survived. will he run as president? i don't know. it's wishful thinking for anybody who believes that chris christie caused mitt romney not to win. there were many structural flaws in the campaign we need to own up to and stop blaming chris christie. >> let me go to my politico here. can he come back from that? >> i think it's going to be easier for him to come back from that than from the george washington bridge. getting a bear hug by christie at that time in his life, that's almost an assassination attempt. >> oh, bob, you're rather funny today. >> that's because tom's here. i think he's going t

presidency is really a high -- >> you know what he needs -- >> is a high challenge. >> he needs mitt romney could come back at 47% again? have some bartender catching him doing it. >> if mitt doesn't come back, maybe somebody else can step in. >> he has to find somebody to make that point. >> the other thing they can do is exploit the edge that the democratic party has in the mechanics of getting out the vote, in targeting and identifying, tracking voters. >> well, we'll get to the issues, too. they have another advantage. a lot of the issues like minimum wage are right there for them. here is more from the president tonight speaking to the dnc, just a few minutes ago talking about women. let's watch. >> at a time when women make up half of our workforce, it's an outrage that women can still make 77 cents for every dollar man earns. this isn't 1954. it's 2014. a woman deserves equal pay for equal work. i saw some republicans in congress brought in outside aides to teach them how to talk to women.

the mitt romneys of the world think so. >> that's right. he would interject by taking credit for saying i've wound down these two wars. the war in iraq was winding down anyway. but he will take credit for it. and i think -- has done a very good job of fighting al qaeda with drones. and keeping the country safe from significant exterior terrorist attack. barring the boston marathon bombing. but i agree with most of what david just said. and actually when you think about what's left, it's the middle east peace process which is the great rock -- for one president after another and he's pushing that boulder and he may think that only if i can get this boulder to the top of the hill i will have a legacy. but i think it's a real long shot. fortunately, russian cooperation on that particular issue is not nearly as important as it is on some of the other issues that we've mentioned. so maybe they can pull it out. gwen: call the middle east peace process a hail mary. but not much better. >> the president goes abroad next week with what looks to be i

and mitt romney speaks out on ukraine and american leadership. we'll get the latest on the search from our reporter on the scene and veteran pilot sully sullen burger and talk to dave galo who led the under water team who found the air france plane that had been lost at sea for two years. ukraine, does vladimir putin want more than crimea f. he does, what will the west do? we'll talk to mitt romney who warned during the campaign about russian intentions and we'll hear from senator dick durbin just back from ukraine and republican senator kelly ayotte who is there now. plus, our panel of experts on those stories and the other news of the week. 60 years of news because this is "face the nation." captioning sponsored by cbs >> schieffer: good morning again, there is actually some new information this morning on the search for that missing malaysian plane, new satellite images, these from the french that show objects in the same general vicinity as the earlier satellite images. the search is now focused on an area about the size of texas, some 1500 m

remember when mitt romney warned us about russia and the president laughed. >> they're now calling to ask for their foreign policy back. >> this isn't a joke, folks. "cashin' in" starting right now. >>> i'm eric bolling. welcome to "cashin' in." welcome everybody. taught to take instead of make, this week a judge smacking down a teen from new jersey that was trying to shake down her parents. plus the administration's pajama boy campaign and it's the life of julia campaign teaching people how uncle sam can help you from cradle to grave. sure looks like they want us to pay for their entitlement lifestyle. >> we no longer live in a free soet. instead, we live in a society where everyone expects everything to be free. you don't have to work hard anymore, because i all you are so do is go to the government's treasure chest. the president is the one who wants everyone in the america to live the life of julia. so it's not surprising. >> you're raising this -- ron is 7 years old. >> 7 years old. he's got to be a maker. he's got to follow after the footsteps of his mother for sure, but you als

here's what mitt romney said yesterday on "face the nation."dn't quite say i told you so, but he did say this. >> the president's naivety with regards to russia and his faulty judgment about russia's intentions and objectives has led to a number of foreign policy challenges that we face. >> mitt romney went on to say that as a leader, you have to look into the future. president obama failed to do that, and therefore his options are severely limited here. >> he's also been an unserious president with regard to places other than russia. i mean, what about the red line in syria? putin was certainly paying attention to that. there was nothing behind the threat, and he doesn't believe there's anything behind this threat, that is, putin doesn't believe it. it's not just ukraine. you have latvia, you have these other baltic states. russian troops are on the borders of these states. you have a bunch of nervous nellies in the whole region over there. >> how should nato respond? as jason said, he's on the border with the latvia, lithuania, estonia. there

hillary clinton was right on the money. >> yes, but congressman, mitt romney was laughed by democratshe said that, he was mocked by the president himself. isn't that embarrassing for the democrats looking back now? >> not embarrassing at all. i think what hillary clinton said was right on the money when hitler invaded to protect ethnic germans you could promote an analogy to support ethnic russians. it was a lie then and it's a lie now. >> i agree. i think that just bolsters what mitt romney had to say about russia in hindsight. >> the problem with romney's comment was he said it was the number one geopolitical threat and i think there are many other threats. i think you probably agree with that. also since you mentioned hillary clinton, she's actually still very, very popular and very well respected around the world. do you find any objections to what hillary clinton said? >> no, i think when you use the word i think the actual regional discussion of what it is is accurate. if you look at what's happened in ukraine, stalin actually ethnically cleansed the eastern part of ukraine and

african-americans made up 13% of the electorate and six percent 93% forere mitt romney, obama. that means romney got 0.8% of his total vote from african-americans. you look at that and say we really need to improve with african-americans but the challenge to that clearly is -- i don't know if you guys know this, but he's african-american. toon't know that it's going be a very easy bond to break. i think it's going to be very difficult. to 0.8%.wn 12.1% that is two point seven percent and obama got 7.1% of the total came from hispanics. suddenly we are down 19.2% for obama. you see the obama cumulative to 3.5%.then down when you factor all minorities, we are down and we are talking about 28% of the electorate. it's like a basketball game where your team starts out partially into the second quarter and you're losing by 17.5 points. let me tell you it's a heart water -- it's a lot harder to come back and politics than it is in basketball. hopefully american with the big game tomorrow does not drop down by 17 points. it means hopefully there is something on the screen. votersmney wo

mitt romney's strong words and scott brown is back. right after the break. ♪ >> welcome back.will turn to martyr calls a -- julianna goldman is here to talk about the high-stakes keystone pipeline decision. you reported this week that the policy advisers all wanted to veto the keystone pipeline. >> there is a consensus emerging among the president top advisers. dan pfeiffer, that he should reject the pipeline. he is not involved in the decision-making because -- the politics are really messy right now. they have dragged this process out. they could intersect with the november midterm. if he rejects it, it really stands to hurt some key vulnerable incumbent senators. it makes her look pretty ineffective if after pushing the president who approved the pipeline and he goes and rejects it. >> they really are scared stiff about losing the senate. >> they are terrified. i have talked to a number of democrats over the past few weeks to say that they have noticed that over the past month, the president, his aides have woken up to the fact that democrats could really lose the senate. t

>> i think the headlines in the lust be his response to the question about whether or not mitt romney was correct when romney said that russia was america's most important, most serious geopolitical foe. the president in his answer at the hague today stuck by his guns, saying that he did not agree with that assessment, that america had many challenges around the world. he described russia and president putin in particular as being a regional power, which is acting from a position of weakness, not strength with respect to its neighbors, specifically ukraine in this particular instance. he also made it a point of saying, again, that there is no contemplation of american military boots on the ground in the region, but that the u.s. and its allies will continue to work on economic sanctions as a means of trying to get putin not to continue with his aggressive behavior with -- with his neighbors. there was the question about whether there was the possibility of putin moving into moldova, for example, or the baltic states, as well as ukraine. and finally, the president said that his primary

but what's that now maybe mitt romney was right? >> you mentioned the navy, for example, and that we had fewer ships than we did in 1916. well, governor, we also have fewer horses and bayonnets, because the nature of our military is changed. we have these kings things called aircraft carriers, where planes land on them. we have ships that go under water, nuclear submarines, so the question is not a game of battleship, where we're counting ships, the case is what are our liabilitys? >> you didn't lie to us, you proved your complete lack of knowledge on the world stage, horses and bayonnets, maybe mitt wasn't so far off. you are looking to take us back to pre-world wore ii capabilities. the truth, your mission is to minimize united states exceptionalism on the world stage. you unilaterally take down the missile defense system in europe with nothing in return from putin and when you never avenged the deaths of americans in benghazi, your message was clear, let's just move on. it's embarrassing to watch you on the world stage as putin o

those two years you mentioned we were already in the thick of mitt romney's -- in 2012 when mitt romneys the consensus in 2008. there was a fracturing between mccain and romney. at the time in 2008, mitt romney was actually the conservative favorite. that role has flipped obviously in 2012. but you nailed it a minute ago. this is a snapshot of how the die hard conservatives are evaluating the 2016 field. there are 25 names on this ballot, from donald trump to sarah palin, to dr. ben carson and chris christie. if you look at the history of nonincumbent midterm years, go back to 2006, george allen, the former virginia governor won the straw poll. in 1998, steve forbes won. in 2010, ron paul won. none of these people became the nominees the. but if someone outperforms expectations, they'll get some good buzz, that's for sure. >> i want to show a picture we teed up before the break. it shows a cpac session on minority outreach. huge room, totally empty. is that the story behind this photo? >> reporter: i don't think so. democrats tried to make hay of this when it happened. it was during a l

it looks like mitt romney was right.the cold war may have been over for 20 years. we have a guy in russia that i do not think the cold war was ever over four. >> i do not think it was either. this whole idea that we could trust the russians, it has blown up in his face. in some ways, literally. what mitt romney was understanding was that unlike al qaeda that had limited forces and when it acted, they acted definitely, the fact is russia can put thousands of troops on the ground in a very, very short period of time. that is what we have seen. on the very week we announced who will be selling off a lot of the good that we have by cutting drastically the army, the air force, marines and the navy. it could not the worst timing. charles: once i am reelected, we can talk. do you think all of that emboldens vladimir putin who obviously said almost everyone has very little respect for everyone to begin with. >> several things have happened. he sat and watched as time after time we have a president that just simply says big names
