remember, joe biden, mitt romney once rivals. former vice president is encouraging romney to run for the senate. we'll talk about it. . i did active duty 11 years. and two in the reserves. our 18 year old was in an accident. when i call usaa it was that voice asking me, "is your daughter ok?" that's where i felt relief. it actually helped to know that somebody else cared and wanted make sure that i was okay. that was really great. we're the rivera family, and we will be with usaa for life. usaa. we know what it means to serve. call today to talk about your insurance needs. fmy doctor recommended ibgard. abdominal pain and bloating. now i'm in control of my ibs. nonprescription ibgard - calms the angry gut. >>> house and senate investigators firing a litany of requests for former fbi director james comey memos after his sworn testimony against president trump. >> defiant president trump is challenging james comey's claims that the president demanded his loyalty and asked him to let go of the investigation into fired national secur

a little light popping west of romney. which looks like it's tracking just north of romney. and south of i-64. these showers lifting toward charlottesville. but in town, pretty 94 at least today. we'll know shortly what the official high was. 87 at 8:00. the lower 80s this evening. and if the skies stay clear enough. that's a good show for you in the southwest sky. jupiter and the moon will be pretty close to each other. should be a pretty good scene out there. but we could have a cloud or two in the way. tomorrow starts out okay. mostly cloudy in the morning. it's going to warm quickly to the 70s and 80s. by the afternoon, scattered showers and storms into the early evening the way it looks like some of these could be on the strong side. so this is why that yellow weather alert before everything moves toward the eastern shore and we see clearing out for that. and as i said a moment ago, tomorrow looks like the worst of the holiday weekend. by sunday, monday, and tuesday, just an isolated to stray afternoon storm. high temperatures, low 90s sunday and monday, around 90 for t

i have no problem with massachusetts doing romney care. my problem is taking that state experiment and horsing it on everybody else. washington, d.c. and alaska have about the same people. d.c. you can walk across in a morning. you'll clearly have a different solution for two vastly different population centers. i think we should do more state autonomy. i think one of the flaws of obamacare is it to power away from the states to washington. programs a reinsurance called the invisible high risk fool that everyone is looking -- high risk pool that everyone is looking as a solution. it went out of business because the affordable care act could not be in business. it was a state solution working for maine and yet the law said you could not do that. i would suspect tom would agree that that is unfortunate. we should give more power back to the states. ultimately it is up to the state capitals. i would trust that i don't trust a state politician more than the admiral. we should give the power -- bambi's adderall picked at -- a state politican mo

back toward romney on 28. even toward kaiser, a little shower has popped up. toward charlottesville we've seen activity build up we'll have to see if anything pops. but locally, sunny, nice here at reagan national. that's how it's going to be this evening. temps in the 80s through midnight. we'll only get into the 70s. skies will be partly if not mostly cloudy over night. and tomorrow, we've got a yellow weather alert. we're expecting scattered, potentially strong storms in local spots in the afternoon and early evening. isolated activity sunday and tuesday. around 90 on the 4th. right now looks okay. a little warm. but generally dry on monday evening. 89 currently in gathysburg. we'll tell you at 11:00 how we do with the three degree guarantee. we have a little relief from the breeze. but still gusting to 28 miles per hour. future cast, generally quiet tonight other than a stray shower here and er as we lose the daytime heating. saturday starts out okay. more clouds than anything else. by the afternoon, notice the showers popping here west of 81. they will ma

romney admitting he was just as shocked as all of us that he was being considered.rancesca and josh. josh, did you see this one coming? >> this so captures the total 180 the democrats have done on mitt romney since he ran against obama and they caricatured him as this callous, uber rich, pet abusing, all of these terrible things. and suddenly in comparison certainly to donald trump, democrats have embraced him and are talking about how that i think he'd be a good influence on the administration. if you talk to strategists, they feel there was like a boy who cried wolf scenario where they were so harsh on mitt romney in that election, it made it hard for them to rail against trump with the same level of exasperation. >> i think that in comparison to trump, he seemed like someone who would be a steady hand at the wheel, and he is someone who had been very hard on russia. remember when everyone made fun of him for that. and they laughed at him at the time. turned out he may have been right. so they saw him as someone that they knew would be tough on russia, and they we

like the romney election saw like -- romney underperformed in terms of hoy republican candidates normally do among black voters. with exception of the romney bliss it is not leak trump numbers represent some radical reformulation of black partnership it is anything again returning that to what has always been so trump didn't do anybody with black voters to say george w. bush right? so yes, so i think, you know, i guess if i, you know -- about within the republican party i want to look at those numbers and tell a positive story of like look there's maybe some opportunity hire. to take advantage of. but i wouldn't make too much of it. i don't think that there's sort of narrative of donald trump is going to rule black voters feel hopeful at best, and you know -- misinformed at work. >> from your book you write that tension between the race, whriend, and race conscience approaches is defining feature of african-american republican politics. what does that mean? >> so that's john on this idea that all black republicans aren't the same so one of the things with the book i wanted to do was say b

gina loudon, gregg jarrett, ronna romney mcdaniel will all join us. liberals turning out to be dead wrong about the trump-russia collusion and their conspiracy theories. they have to admit they have been lying to you, the american people. >> the assumption of the president is that somewhere along the lines in the last year, the president had something to do with colluding with the russians. i a helping hand, encouraging them and feeding their desire to effect the election in some wayi some conversation he had with michael flynn or paul manafort.. and what camers apart this morng was that theory. >> sean: we will have much more on the massive media credibility crisis but first, former fbi director j. edgar comey has been exposed for what he really is. a snake who has slithered hiss way through washington, d.c., and the swamp for decades. that is tonight important opening monologue. and what we learned from his testimony -- he is a cunning, calculated, manipulative, and self-serving political operative who is out for revenge after getting fired by presi

george romney new it. he said, the republican housing secretary, said that the federal government is created a white noose around urban centers where african-americans level and it's the federal government's obligation to untie the noose. he started a program called open communities which the federal got withheld federal funds from suburbs, the things that juris ricks get, like, grown space and sidewalks and sewers and water projects, all the things the federal government gives out money to -- with held money from suburb evidence they didn't repeal exclusionary zones ordinances, didn't accept a fair share of the metropolitan area's moderate income housing, explore moderate income housing, and actually with held funds from three suburbs. one was baltimore county and was supported in this action by spiro agnew who had been county executive in baltimore county and had fought segregationists in an attempt to solve problems of baltimore because he said problems are baltimore are nor created in baltimore. they'r

romney took that and basically the individual mandate. is there is reason to believe if you look at the numbers, we need something like the individual mandate. they will help people get coverage. there are questions about, fears about employers dumping employees. for the most part, it turns out the fear was unfounded. there is a number of employees that put patients on medicaid. i heard from the governor that in his state, a lot did. maybe not on the exchanges, but on the medicaid program. >> i think it is fair game. figure out what works, do more than that, drill down on what is happening in terms of the employer mandate. do you need to modify it in some way? one thing i worry most about is sometimes the burden on small employers, between 50 and 100 and somewhere in that range, i worry about the burden they are carrying and the fact that they are slow to go under a certain limit in order to avoid certain requirements. >> i know they are thrilled you can together as part of the conversation on this. we're doing our best to get everyone on

joining us now, rnc chairwoman, ronna romney mcdaniel and dr. gina lowden loudon.ey protected, like hillary, if we have any felonies. >> no obstruction of justice that was proven yesterday. listen, the only that is less self-aware than hillary clinton is the media. it continues to throw story and story after another that's not true. that's against the president. all through the campaign when he was candidate trump. now they are doing it as the president and underestimating the american voter. we see through it. we recognize that this president is fighting for the american person. for jobs and wages and better health care and national security. the media can continue to be and lack self awareness and continue to lie and be dishonest but middle america knows the president is fighting for them. >> sean: we saw the poll, 60% of americans don't trust the media. great to see you, by the way. one of the more important aspects here -- they were so not prepared for him winning. i think the president was right today. this whole russia thing is because he won and they lost an

debate, barack obama laughed at mitt romney when romney tied to tell him this was going to happen. ok. the only crimes in my opinion that have been committed, were committed by the obama administration up to and including him. he is a criminal. country.hings to our he tried to destroy it from the inside and is still trying to destroy it from the inside. and the whole democrat already is in on it. in my opinion, trump has done nothing wrong. nothing. host: all right. caller: he will be, if they leave him alone, the greatest president this country has ever known. the lady before me brought up ronald reagan, he was accosted the same way that donald trump is. he was called a traitor, accused of colluding with russia. they investigated the man for six out of eight years he was in office. how much money have we wasted on these investigations? back to work, fix our country, let the independent counsel do its job, but do it fast. stop wasting my money. this is my money they are wasting. host: thank you. president trump has not had a lot of comments about the investigation this week, althou

the romney group, mitt romney's son.lling him mitt romney's son because he's more than that. this guy runs a hemorrhage fund, smart kid. he's a kid because he's younger than me. he's very smart and accomplished, he runs a hedge fund and what i understand resources for the bid, and he's a -- and what sources saying, he's getting close to the number. the $1.1 billion number. we should point out that derek jeter group is still reagan of money. that means jeter and fleming are still out there, and they're raising money. again, jorge is said to have the funding for the 1.1 billion. it's mostly cash. we should put out we're getting this in people close to them in major league baseball. but i guess point is this. you could see a situation where jeter and romney actually become minority partners in the miami marlins that's run by george and his family. liz: oh, okay. so they all come together in one, great stockpile. >> and then they just say. and we should point out why is this important for our viewers? i mean, listen, basebal

the dinner that mitt romney and trump had last year, mitt romney said he talked to hillary clinton about that hoax. we know it was not offered. as political chaos consumes washington is the kremlin and joining this turmoil, we are live in moscow next, you are live in the cnn newsroom. if you plaque psoriasis,... isn't it time to let the real you shine through? maybe it's time for otezla (apremilast). otezla is not an injection or a cream. it's a pill that treats plaque psoriasis differently. with otezla, 75% clearer skin is achievable after just 4 months,... with reduced redness,... thickness, and scaliness of plaques. and the otezla prescribing information has no requirement for routine lab monitoring. don't take otezla if you're allergic to any of its ingredients. otezla may increase the risk of depression. tell your doctor if you have a history of depression or suicidal thoughts... or if these feelings develop. some people taking otezla reported weight loss. your doctor should monitor your weight... and may stop treatment. side effects may include diarrhea,... nausea, upper respirator

it happened on all bomb is what i remember mitt romney 2012 brought up the problems with russia and he was laughed and snickered at by everybody in the media. we have had absolutely.sconne and i don't know where the disconnect is on the media. they could not do flyover country so they better wake up. if we go to news c-span because we see the unvarnished truth. there is no clown at the new york times trying to interpret what i saw with mysa own eyes. >> guest: i like bob. you are my heart and soul the public should be informed. i have been on the show before but actually a fine negative show interesting. sometimes sitting there on political jihad but they accused of president to be assessed but they are assessed with him constantly attacking him that'll really and one caller said i hear president trump i have made my opinion but that is shaped by all of these people constantly giving the negative side. bob is then fly over territory judo one poll showed he would do better in ohio if he ran again?. >> which was that?. >> i just saw it on the internet but i was told recently and i spoke

you are still at the annual retreat with mitt romney and you got a sense of the reaction to the testimonyou hearing at the retreat? >> yeah, i just actually left the retreat. i think broadly speaking most the attendees there wanted to give the president the benefit the doubt. they would like to be able to see some conservative policy victories. ef the issues is that they havet really put ny pnts on the board yet when it comes to length lats differengislativ. so most were willing to say that no much came out the comey testimony because we need the president to be effective if we'll have any these reforms pass. so overall i would say the crowd which may have been skeptical at the beginning his term are giving him the benefit the doubt. >> what is one 9d tawoone the t from this year than last year? d >> this year's retreat was head ofly focused on business innovation, on policy issues. meaty policy discussions around national security issues swellings t as well as the economy. last year he's retreat came at a very interesting time a at the donald trump had wrapped up the republican nominatio

kennedy: maybe he was dismissing romney because he thought romney was saying maybe we are going to get into a nuclear conflict with russia. what russia is doing because they don't have money for a big armed battle, they are screwing around with their state-paid hackers. nuclear weapons annihilate a city, but hacking can bring down an entire country's infrastructure. we have seen this with the electrical grid and banks. but the amount of resources they dumped in there was more of a test probe to see how much they can do. it literally brought this country to it's ins. we are infighting within our own party with it. kennedy: with something like healthcare, people just want a resolution. and republicans are fighting and now you have the former president and the former first lady who can't sit back and let the process happen without them. their he goes get in the way and it doesn't seem to make anything better. >> if i was the former president of the united states i would kick on the beach with a marching righta and relax. --p -- with a march today right he has always worked in government a

he made the comment at a summit romney held last night.he only big headline from the evening. you might remember that dinner romney and president trump had last year with the awkward photo when trump was trying to settle on a secretary of state. romney said he talked to clinton about the post and encouraged him to take the position if it was offered. >>> we do have some sad news from hollywood tonight. actor adam west has passed away, known for his legendary role in the popular 1960s batman tv show. next, the man who played his famous sidekick had to say about their years on screen together. you're live in the "cnn newsroom." (soft gasp) (record scratching) ( ♪ ) (excited chatter) ( ♪ ) various: whoa! (mixed exclamations) ( ♪ ) (cheering) ( ♪ ) (cheering) "how to win at business." step one: point decisively with the arm of your glasses. abracadabra. the stage is yours. step two: choose la quinta. the only hotel where you can redeem loyalty points for a free night-instantly and win at business. when i feel controlled by frequent, unpredicta

the last thing they took -- mitt romney took from the -- governor romney took from the 1993 legislation by senator chafee and others was the idea that insurance companies could not deny coverage to folks with preexisting conditions. those were -- mitt romney thought those were pretty good ideas and made them sort of the centerpiece of what they call romney care in massachusetts which became the law and ultimately -- originally they didn't do a good job on affordability and one of the reasons they didn't do a good job "affordability in massachusetts, i'm told by folks in massachusetts the fine was associated with the individual mandate wasn't very big. eventually it scaled up but it took a while to get to a point where young people say, you know, i'm paying this fine, i might as well get coverage and stop paying the fine and get something at least for my money. and romney care ended up being pretty successful. he ran for president and one of the linchpins he used in running look, we've already done what barack obama wants to do. we already provided health care coverage for people in my s

this is the mitt romney. george w.sh, george hw bush with kind of republican, not a donald trump republican. i think we're so fixated on the map from 2000 to 2006, right. closely divided america. you low back at it you say well the 2016 map was a ral tags of that. the coasts for democrats, the center of the country for republicans. true. but to your point, jake if you look county by county or nerdier precinct by predict what you see is donald trump is overperforming mitt romney by 15, 20 points in places, which is more rural, older whiter, and drastically underperforming mit romney in places loo mcclan and falls church virginia. >> that's what hillary and democrats in trouble. >> in some whiches he was widely mocked for if at the time. i don't think he implemented it correctly. but remember when howard dean was the chairman of the democratic committee. the 50 state. >> i want to say something. i don't think that democrats should take seriously the pain and the in the rust belt because they want to convert some votes. i

i can remember when mitt romney in 2012 brought up the problems with russia. he was laughed and snickered at by eeverybody in the media. i don't know -- we've had it. we've had it. i don't know where the disconnect is between the media. people like me joe scarborough they couldn't fly over the country with a map. they better wake up. we go to c-span because we see the unvarnished truth. i don't have any clown at the "new york times," trying to tell -- intrigue to interpret what i saw. you guys have a good morning. guest: i like bob. bob, you're my heart and soul the public should be informed. i like mika and joe i been on their show. caller: we don't. guest: i find their show entertaining. they accuse the president of being obsessed. they're guilty of it. they're obsessed with him and they're constantly attacking him. they don't really show any other side. just remember i was talking with christina earlier she's saying, i hear president trump and i've made an opinion of him. yeah your opinion is shaped by all these people constantly giving the negative side. b

mitt romney, china and you have russia ironically saying it's a problem if the u.s. leaves this accord. then leave is steve bannon and scott pruitt. this seems like a base play. >> what you're seeing a president who is embattled politically on a lot of different fronts and whenever that happens he's most receiptive with arguments that will play with his core voters and this is one of them. this is not, by the way, his core voters is not republican base at large. it's a section of the republican base and that is to whom this is going to appeal and i think he has never been planning on making a huge change. to be very fair to the president after he was elected he came to our office and talked about fairs accord. he said he hadn't made up his mind. he was clear where his head was. this is not a substantial difference. >> another factor that should not be ignored. this is easy for the president to do. withdrawing from this is not like tpp. it doesn't put any new set of obligations on him. doesn't figure out for him how to spend money. >> with the executive orders he sign

care mitt romney in massachusetts republican health care program and that was reinvented as obamacare is obamacare actually is arguably the conservative version of health care reform and that's its lineage if that's the case what does that make the senate plan. it makes it a radical undoing of what was a kind of consensus and it's important to make clear what it was it was a consensus that justice medicare provided to everyone over sixty five a basic medical insurance program this could and should be extended to the population as a whole all medicaid was a halfway measure in that direction and here comes the big part it was to be paid for by a modest tax on the richest people amongst us so as to make it as fair as possible those people particularly in the last forty years have been the ones whose income has gone up the furthest whose wealth has increased the most and whose other taxes have been brought down so it seemed the ultimate fair step what the publicans are doing now is going back on that consensus depriving millions of people of medical care and there's only one basic reason

romney.. some lighter showers. and winchester, a little bit. and drying out, as the heavy stuff has moved to culpepper and points south and west. and you can see culpepper, and this clap of thunder, it would not surprise me there. and dreary weekend in dc in the michael and son weather camera and temperatures this evening will stay in the 60s. and fall to the lower 60s by midnight. >>> and perhaps some partial clearing, will settle in, overnight. but you can see how cool it is. we should be in the low 80s for highs. we didn't get to 70 today. 69 so far, the official high. and we will tell you at 11:00 how we did with the three degree guarantee. 56 with the rain in cull pep -- 65 with the rain in culpepper. hope you enjoy the cool day. serious heat on the way next week. north/northeasterly winds at 9. and the humidity at 61%. the north easterly winds. and you can see the showers by midnight. really fizzling. down toward roanoke and charleston, west virginia. and perhaps a mix of sun and clouds tomorrow. and then we are going to see the heat. but

i think romney won by something like 20-plus, price was a prohibitive favorite, tom price, who is now the health and human services secretary. he was holder of that seat and he was a prohibitive favorite, 60-plus-percent in every vote. what's their gamble here and what's the chance it pays off? >> the big gamble in this district is the education gap, the education divide. there are a lot of college-educated voters in this district, far more than in any of the other special elections we've seen so far this year. and that's the biggest source of hope. because these are the people, these are the romney voters that 19% or so that didn't go for trump that maybe sat out in the last election or some of them converted over to hillary clinton. these are the people who are the most likely to secure a district like this for democrats. on the other hand, trump has been surprisingly -- he's been surprisingly resilient among republicans. many of them still give him marks in the high 80s. and so it's really unclear why they are not -- they can get republicans to go from annoyance or distaste to i'm

here's what romney tweeted.e said, "affirmation of the paris agreement is not only about the climate, it is also about america remaining the global leader." so what is secretary tillerson -- what do tillerson and mitt romney get about this president trump may not be getting about this? >> i think anyone who has engaged seriously in the world and has agreed with other countries understands how really this has become almost the signature for global cooperation in the world. this is the signature agreement. this is something that the whole world, it took years and years to get everybody on the same page, and most importantly for western countries, it's the first time it's been possible to get the chinese and the indians. you know, this was always the big problem with climate change. you could say i'll put in as many of those curly light bulbs you want and i'll drive a prius, doesn't make any difference because the chinese are going to build coal-fired power plants and plut the atmosphere. the chinese agreed. the in

it romney losing in two thousand and twelve with some kind of you know payback for republican behavior but if you look at every congressional race every senate race overall republicans have fared better than democrats over the last eight years despite blowing up the senate despite unprecedented obstruction on supreme court justices and now this health care bill we'll see if they face any consequence was assuming they can get it the way they've been doing able to do it is the way that karen handel in georgia six has gone from twenty percent up to fifty percent and that's by millions of dollars mostly coming out of the billionaire koch network now welded into districts and i don't know all the dollars has a selection but i don't know that you know just from the coke stein about how it's not only in dollars talking about outside money for handle when john has not raised a nickel in georgia but he's raised multimillion dollars from california that's a vast majority as has been coming in and twenty dollars contributions karen handel has got these these just you know but i didn't mean to lit

you know what mitt romney got in florida? he got 49% and lost.t wasn't about what he did, it was about what democrats did not do. >> tse are some pretty big states to win. >> 49% is math is ma. >> thank you, john brabender and cornell belcher. get 'em where you can get 'em. >>> up next, dirty tricks in georgia. republicans must be getting desperate over tomorrow's special election, why else are we seeing an ad accusing democrats shecheering last week shooting at that baseball practice. this is "hardball," where the action is. business was built with passion... but i keep it growing by making every dollar count. that's why i have the spark cash card from capital one. with it, i earn unlimited 2% cash back on all of my purchasing. and that unlimited 2% cash back from spark means thousands of dollars each year going back into my business... which adds fuel to my bottom line. what's in your wallet? when you're close to the people you love, does psoriasis ever get in the way of a touching moment? if you have moderate to severe psoriasis, you can embra

they should appoint mitt romney to look into the russia connection because it was president obama who mocked the candidate when he brought up russia. >> of the 80s called, they want their foreign policy back. >> exactly. president obama, he painted himself in a corner. he said russia was no threat. same thing with isis. so his ego forces him never to admit that he is wrong. he can't -- these are all really big mistakes. it's hilarious that the more that you dig into this russia story, it becomes the democrats try, not a republican story, and it makes president obama into the world's worst renter. he leaves the place in a far worse estate than he found it. if you look at russia, look at isis, look at iran, he is like a frat that trashes a hotel at panama city beach. he left the balance deposit balance. >> president obama is a little embarrassed about maybe what he said to mitt romney, if you double down on that, president obama got smoked by thelma pruden in syria, and ukraine, allegedly at the election. do you think he is saying, you know, this doesn't look good for me. that's why --

he should be say about what he did for romney. with isis, he did the same thin thing.y be a president that will be remembered for leading the varmints overtake the yard. >> dana: the democrats are the ones mad at him now. i think you should try to -- he's in bali, so maybe he can't comment on it. >> juan: somebody wrote today that the the opponents asked if he anguish is, i thought for my democratic point of view, i agree. why would he anguish and why would he not get out there and say these guys are putting the fingers on the scale? >> dana: imaginal, juan. >> juan: i know. let me just say, he still won't acknowledge that russia interfered in the campaign. >> kimberly: everybody would have screamed like the democrats did about comey if he made that statement because we all thought hillary clinton was going to wi win. >> greg: wait, wait, wait. can i respond to this? he did in a tweet this week that you missed, juan. the media spin this weekend was very clear. let on every network, trump admits russian meddling. that was their lead rather than the obama knew about medd

. >> mit romney -- and you worked with him. they still. romney still may not be over it. >> at this stage after the 2012 election i was walking around my house in my robe muttering to myself. and i was only the spokesman. >> i don't think it helps her party or the democratic party or the issue to keep talking about it or point fingers. nobody wants to hear from hillary clinton right now. the special counsel wants to move on, the country needs to focus. all she does is continue to polarize it. i think it's clear that it reads sour grapes. >> i get the gist of what you are saying but there are a lot of people who want to hear from hillary clinton. >> maria is one of them. >> wesleyan university, those folks wanted to hear from her as well. you are saying it's not helpful to the democrats for her right now, that's what you are saying. >> thanks. >> am i right. >> yes. >> go ahead maria. >> i don't think necessarily that that's true. first of all hillary clinton has earned the right to say whatever the hell she wants at this point, right? >> d

you can remember mitt romney's campaign slogan? believe in america. yeah. so similar to make america great again, trying to get at the same feeling that the sun has set on the american empire and that the next generation will not do as well as previous generations. and this is something that gets reflected back to us poll after poll after poll and we were moving into the obama and romney election, there was at least $80 million of advertising spent on negative china ads focused on trade in cleveland alone. you know, that would later be the site of the republican convention. trade has been a contentious issue in elections but i would argue that in this election something more deep resinated in the electorate. if you look at the primaries, right, over 20 million voteers favorite and vote for the upstarts, over 20 million voters went for trump and went for sanders and a big reason why, i think, is trade. the two of them were very much aligned on trade and the thinking goes like this, the once great middle class of the united states has been hall lowed out by g

we want to make america rich too. >> mitt romney was sen as aloof, trying to down play the fact that he was very successful, whereas as matte was saying, president trump is sort of the people's billionaire or at least that's what he wants people to think about him. it doesn't mean it's going to create jobs but it is a message that hads worked and will continue to work. >> some of the smartest people i have to say are nautd millionaires and their asspration is not to be a millionaire, so it struck me as odd for saying that. because i don't see anything wrong with being a working class person. i just don't. thank you. >> thanks, don. >> joining me now is a connecticut democrat and a member of the judiciary committee. some of your colleagues are asking that president's son in law and jared kushner's security clearance be suspended because he failed to report dozens of meetings, including four with the russians. you agree with that? >> i've actually read that letter joined by two of my colleagues, calling on the federal intelligence committee to review that security clearance. why? becau

i wish he was president now wishing that romney was president or john mccn were president. as far as the people voted for him is like any mammals will do. they were just voting in a certain way. >> that's a good way of putting it. >> when he said that, i said, that's not true, there is no evidence to support what you just said and if we were going to work together, we have to stipulate to a certain set of facts. we all have to start at a place where we are dealing with facts, evidence and data and you can compromi compromise. you cannot make up -- i said well, that's not true. and he said and i am not counting california. >> oh my god. >> so, that was pretty sad because he did not understand his place in history. you cannot expect people to respect the office of president anymore than the occupant of the job does. i do respect the office of the president, i hope that he will rise to that occasion. the fact that he has not so far. >> he's gotten worse. >> his first week of obsessing ton popular vote and the crowd size of the inauguration. >> he still obsesses o f the crowd s

i have a store that's worth more money than mitt romney.h more humble than you would understand. happy birthday to me. >> dicky: from hollywood - it's "jimmy kimmel live"! tonight - jamie foxx. nba champion draymond green. and music from trace adkins. and now, without further ado, here's jimmy kimmel!

got to focus on people are not likable, that simple, with president obama, likable, hillary, mitt romneythey don't, george bush did, he won. dagen: is democrats scramble to figure out who their leader is, we get this from hillary clinton, forget death panels. if republicans pass this bill, they are the death party. this is what we are talking about. talking to the american people in a way that talks down to them and shows complete disregard and disrespect for their own intelligence. >> it does so and to get to julie's point, i disagree vehemently because the democratic message is generally negative. look what happened during the obama years. stuff like you didn't build that on your own, all industry is bad, auto makers are bad, big business is bad. independent healthcare is bad. if you are rich and the 1% you are evil. everything -- what people are trying to do, to build themselves up or build their community up. instead death panels are bad, republicans are bad, you disagree with me you are evil, that resonates -- obama is well-liked by the democrats. underneath they saw a person who is

what we have now is jeter and busch out as reported last weekend romney, the romney bidding group is hundreds of millions of dollars short on the $1.3 billion, what the owner of the marlins has been told point blank, you have to bring the price tag down to somewhere at $900 million or less if you want to sell this. 12 years ago for $150 million, you could make a decent profit but he had to bid all the way up and even at $900 million it might come down to $600 million. neil: take the money that has been deposited and leverage off of that. >> you need cash. the economics of baseball right now, particularly hurt the team like the marlins, declining attendance, the name is just a fish. might as well call them the minnows. you have the name, the stadium which is loaded with death, you have south florida which is really hot in the winter, getting to the ballpark and here are the dynamics of baseball. in the old days used to sell your packages, the television rights for a lot of money, can't do that anymore, people are cutting the cord. this bidding war is off. he may get $900 million, that

sandra: mitt romney may be turning to democrats for advice on what he will do next.f a claim. i totally could've - no! switching to allstate is worth it. ♪ that's life. you diet. you exercise. and if you still need help lowering your blood sugar... ...this is jardiance. along with diet and exercise... jardiance lowers blood sugar and a1c in adults with type 2 diabetes. jardiance is also the only type 2 diabetes treatment with heart- proven to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death in adults with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. jardiance can cause serious side effects, including dehydration. this may cause you to feel dizzy, faint, or lightheaded, or weak upon standing. ketoacidosis is a serious side effect that may be fatal. symptoms include nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, tiredness, and trouble breathing. stop taking jardiance and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of ketoacidosis or an allergic reaction. symptoms of an allergic reaction include rash, swelling, and difficulty breathing or swallowing. do not take jardiance if you are on dia

and also with us, he served as health care advisor for the romney campaign.r the foundation of research for equal opportunity. the president said he would repeal it and replace it. just repealing it, would that be a betrayal to the trump voters an he is the one that brought the voters to the republican dance and got them control of the republican house. >> what is old is new again. when he won that election, the original idea that they would repeal obama care with 50 votes. and the bipartisan process with democrats that once you repeal it with the facts on the ground you can have a discussion about how to replace it next. it would create uncertainty while they figure out how to replace obama care, so they they settled on repeal and replace at the same time. so they're stuck a little bit trying to hammer out some of the details. >> if they were to repeal or cut it, what will happen to the millions of people, the estimated 20 million people, that would lose their insurance under obama care? without balm care. >> that is why repealing alone and not having a repl
