i get rick santorum what you would talk about that the laws have not been so well defined to what it means to be a contribution, but at the bare minimum, you cannot solicit from a foreign government anything like this and in many ways this sounds just like wikileaks part two, solicitation of those e-mails. >> you're introducing a bunch of facts that george stephanopoulos never said. he never asked if he was soliciting and they're saying if they came to you. if someone came to you and said you have some dirt and he was talking cloakially, and he is often imprecise and that's why he didn't want to be interviewed with bob mueller because he can ram bell and talk about things more loosely and he was talking more in a general, political context and we get opposition research all of the time and you get opposition research in the campaign and you don't call the fbi. i have folks who threw information at me and all of my campaigns and i didn't call the fbi. >> did you get it from russia or norway? >> if i knew that that information was coming from a foreign service. >> that's not what the p

senator rick santorum and in charlotte, north carolina all by himself, former south carolina democratic state legislator bakari sellers. they are cnn political commentators. as we've been looking at the stage here, what do you think is the president's main goal besides g besides ginning up the energized base. >> theat is no doubt goal numbe one but to drive home the messages, promises made and kept and make sure he's telling the story how he delivered on the promise of that spectacular 2016 run that he had for the presidency and we'll see as you know one of the great frustrations of a lot of republicans on capitol hill, even some people inside his administration has been not to have a relentless focus on the economic good news day in and day out and i am curious to see if that becomes a major thread in this speech as he tries to frame the reelection argument. >> gloria, one source told cnn campaign officials are hoping this event will satisfy the president's thirst for the spotlight and reset the campa n campaign's efforts. this is the 60th campaign rally for the president. so is there

you can always tell that it's just filler words that mean nothing whenever rick santorum says, "i think." ( laughter ) basically, santorum's saying that words don't mean what they mean. he must have merriam webster's new choose your own adventure dictionary. ( laughter ) another person in trump's corner this morning was one of his "fox and friends," ainsley earhardt. she agrees that when foreign governments call to offer to manipulate the election in your favor, it is silly to call the f.b.i. >> could you imagine, though? what do you say? hi, i'm running for congress and, uh, norway called and they have some information on my opponent. what's the f.b.i. going to do? you think they're gonna be like, oh, we're right on it! we are going to investigate that. probably not! >> norway? right! like, you're crazy! we'll call you back! >> stephen: yeah, what's the federal bureau of investigation gonna do-- investigate? come on! ( laughter ) you're crazy! i mean, what are you going to do? call 9-1-1 and say i'm being murdered? oh, i'm being murdered by a norwegian. right, okay? just be murdered, w

back with us, charles blow and rick santorum.dying reparations. it wasn't coming up necessarily with solutions, just saying it's something that should be studied. do you think that is worthwhile? look, again, charles makes some very compelling arguments about the slavery continuing on into the 1930s and some degree into the 1960s. we're still talking 90 and 60 years ago number one. number two, he said this whole country benefitted from the south having these slavery and post slavery repressions of actions. if the whole country benefitted, that would mean that those blacks who didn't live in the south benefitted, too. should they pay reparations to other blacks that are descendants from families. you look back to fix what happened in the past instead of trying to look forward and try to create opportunities for people in the future and that's really what i think you listen to tim scott and many others who commented on this in the focus should be going forward, what will we do to create opportunities and create equality in this cou

alex a czar, former michigan governor jennifer granholm and for pennsylvania senator rick santorum will be there. on c-span2 at 4:00, the washington post held a summit on free speech. texas senator ted cruz is among the speakers. >> presidential candidates senate -- senator amy klobuchar and pete buttigieg spoke at last dinner inhat blue richmond. it is their largest annual political fundraiser pregnant after speeches by members of the congressional delegation and other commonwealth leaders, senator klobuchar address the more than 1500 guests at the gala. >> while. thank you. what amazing crowd. hello virginia democrats. are you ready to beat donald trump? of you ready to get rid betsy do boss? paint yourdy to legislature blue?

and before that we had rick santorum. so not obviously a bellwether of harbinger to woman.rump was a completely different animal. he played a different game. he just rose up like a phoenix from the ashes. joe biden is a much more traditional politician, much like the rest of the field. kennedy: in other words the constant attacks from pretty much everybody in the field -- they really didn't hold back. there were subtle barbs and they didn't name joe biden by name but they were going after him. does that hurt him and when the will that show in the polls? >> there's a difference in the guy going to blow everything up. when you attack him, all of the voters say yes, exactly. that's the point, we want you. kennedy: he's fill the candidate. i don't know how the democrats figure out how to do something differently. >> biden is the return to normal. he was the guy in the white house when the guy i liked was there with the bracelet. he has to stoond there an standk lgbtable. electable. every single thing that joe biden has done in his 50 years in washington, d.c., he has at some po

by former texas governor rick perry during his presidential run and in 2011 former gop senator rick santorum used a similar version during his presidential run but all of those who used or are using the phrase in modern times might want to give a tip of the head to the poet langston hughes who wrote a poem titled let america be america again. he wrote that poem in 1936. >> thank you for tracking it down for us tonight. uproar on the house floor after a routine debate on a spending package for hhs let one democrat to say this about a republican pro-life colleagues because they support limits on abortion. >> mister speaker, it is tiring to hear from so many sex starved males on this floor talk about a woman's right to choose. >> reporter: congresswoman norma torres withdrew the comment but yesterday ohio democrat marcia fudge wrote a constituent's letter on the house for which described trump as a gangster and attacked his supporters. >> is glaringly apparent that many who support the president and this administration are either racists steeped in religious beliefs, ignorant or as my mother us

it was an idea he came up with rick santorum in a barbershop. this stuff is laughable. we would laugh but there's people suffering because of it. we need to do something about it. >> many are saying there's a lot of focus on the 2020 presidential race on the democratic side. 23, 24 candidates but not enough on the senate races. as a leading official nationally in the democratic party, don't you feel that there ought to be more attention and energy on senate races like yours and congressional races along with the 2020 presidential races because if you don't win the senate, if the democratic party doesn't win the senate, they still will have a problem getting things through even if they put a democrat in the white house. >> rev, that is exactly right. mitch mcconnell is epitomizes what gridlock is. he will stand in front of progress every minute of the day. it's important to make sure we send him packing also. he has a race in 2020 in kentucky. he no longer needs to be the majority leader of the senate. we need to really push to pick up as many senate seats as possible. t

now is garrett graph, cnn contributor and author of "the threat matrix" and jeffrey toobin and rick santorumthe political commentator. so jeff, the president saying these things now, i guess, you know, we can only imagine what they say next month when mueller is on television even if it's just repeating what is in the mueller report. >> i'm sure it's going to be more of the same but i just think it's worth pausing for a second to point out that the president of the united states in this interview accused robert mueller of committing crimes of committing crimes in a furry of lies. everything the president said was a lie about mueller and, you know, we shrug our shoulders the same way when a woman accused him after rape, i don't know, maybe it happened. this is sort of what our national dialogue has degenerated into and i just hope we have n't entirely lost our capacity for outrage? >> have we? were you concerned about the president accusing or not accusing but saying robert mueller committed a crime? >> yeah, i don't think we've lost our capacity for outrage but we've lost some of the energy

national affairs correspondent for the nation and former presidential candidate rick santorum. >> theernal polls are probably not so great. i think he fired them because they leaked and maybe he feels that they were somehow responsible for that leak. and he is right that you don't worry about early polls. i ran in 20 elections. maybe with the exception of three or four, i was behind in every early poll at this point in time. i won a bunch of elections. so the reality is there is a long way to go. the president sometimes overreacts to these things. >> i guess the truth is he is maybe the biggest -- maybe the biggest anger he had was fake polls were his own polls. >> i think someone may be trying to tell him something like you are not doing as well as you think and we have to put more into this. i'm sure he was enraged at that. we know donald trump will not tolerate coughing in front of him and bad polling. don't bring him bad polling numbers. i think the idea of firing your pollsteres because you don't like their numbers is -- >> so you know i have to say, senator, we had great enjoyme

and now the republican former senator and 2016 presidential candidate rick santorum. along with gloria borger and paul about a gala who serve as adviser to president clinton. glory is only one of the top five democrats is warren who is on the stage on the first night tomorrow. the other four biden sanders buttigieg and harris all will be on stage at the same time on thursday. so is it an advantage to be the only one in that group on the first night? or disadvantage for warren? >> i know lots of folks say it's a disadvantage for her because she is not up against bernie or biden on the first night. but i think it's an advantage for her. because first of all you're going to have a big tune in on the first night. she is going to be out there alone. center stage. she's got a lot of room to distinguish herself. she can present herself as the liberal who can -- who can beat donald trump. and so, yeah, i think she's got a lot of room in that group to say, look at me, i'm the one to take on trump. whereas if stherp sherp on the other stage shaed have competition. >> are rick w

. >> outfront now former republican senator and presidential candidate rick santorum and jan voens aiser of president obama and host of the van jones show and the redemption project on cnn. van shouldn't this have been an easy thing for senator mcconnell to tell president trump he was wrong about? >> well, i mean, yeah. part of the thing is you would hope at this point that someone like senator mcconnell would be able to -- say, listen i'm a senator in charge of one of the most important legislative bodies of the history of the world. we are under attack from foreign powers our dpkz is in perfectly i'm not wait wasting time what the defendant president sasz i'm bringing everybody together get something done. i understand i tries to defend the indefensible and even president trump won't defendway he said. which is unfortunate, ridiculous, but we are losing sight of the fact that we are 18 months away from an election we're going into toemgtsly defenseless with foreign powers swirling around on being egged on by the president and the majority leader. it's unfortunate. >> senator? >> we

there being more nervous for that debate than the main stage debate, when you're standing between rick santorum mike huckabee, you better do well. >> how many people were in that debate? it wasn't ten. >> no, i think there were eight in the junior debate and ten in the upper debate. when we got done with that debate, though, our poll numbers went up significantly. we were in the next debate easily. and we were higher than we were before. there's a real opportunity for warren but there will be a pressure, too, because the expectation will be, and we'll build this up in the media, that she's going to dominate the first night and if she doesn't dominate the first night it's a problem for her. if she does, she's the upside. >> and then she's the target now of booker and beto to contrast themselves with her as well. they're going to figure out -- >> neither one of them seem like they're ready to take a fight -- >> i think booker will have a much more different voice. i think he'll be aggressively friendly. >> a question for a lot of these candidates in this debate, what is your strategy? do you draw
