going to be no end to the propagation of romney. >> bret: the expanding romneys.ant part of my job i think as a grandfather now to share with my grandchildren, if you will come of family legacy. and there are really three elements to our family legacy. number one is our commitment to the family, caring for one another. number two is our commitment to faith, our conviction that god lives and that jesus christ is his son, and number three is kindness. >> bret: for somebody who looks at that and says how can they be that good? >> senator romney: we are not. [laughter] there have been times in my life when i have strayed from being 100% accurate or 100% honest one of done things for advantage of politics, and i look back at those things now with great regret, and so i say at this stage in my life i'm not doing that anymore. i'm going to be straight and honest to the extent that humanly can and i'm not going to worry about what the consequence might be for me politically or otherwise. >> bret: in an age of social media where it can get dark sometimes. >> senator romney

. >> an interesting thing i hadn't thought of was that before he deflated, romney -- >> romney had -- he was the governor of michigan, father of mitt romney, who you've likely heard about more recently, george romney was a person who never finished college and he had been born in mexico. but he was someone who wore his heart on his sleeve and was a very passionate, committed person, particularly about civil rights. and he was a scraper. he would wade into opposition parties. we jump into a trade union meeting or at the democratic board committee. so he had to strengthen his convictions. and his pollings were extraordinary. higher than anything else at the time. and he appeal to the evangelicals. he was a mormon, lds. but the faith in him was so powerful that he had very strong appeal and rockefeller did not and rockefeller, the albatross around his neck was divorce. and romney was a while for him, he was just riding high. and we had access to his extraordinary files and research on policy. but he was always salivating. and i was one of the nomination himself. romney tripped and fell.

romney tripped and fell. >> you say that romney peaked too early and then he famously or infamously came back from vietnam, from the trip to vietnam, and he just observed -- well, he changed his view. he changed his view because when he went there, he had been brainwashed by the briefings he had been given by jean mccarthy. brainwashed. i've been brainwashed, jean mccarthy said. >> (laughs) >> we have a picture, i think, with nelson rockefeller. tell us about him and what is going on there. >> i wound up, a lot of us were partial to rockefeller. but i had done some work for rockefeller as the original oppo research. oppositional research on barry goldwater. and this has been taken from 1968. when i wound up being head of intelligence for nelson rockefeller's presidential campaign, where we built files on all delegates to the convention. i was working for their social associations. for foreign policy or defense or health care. and so that's when i was working in. as i say in the book, he had a glow. nelson was a schmoozer and who is not particularly articulate, but going back to romney, r

it looks like there will be no in to the propagation of romney. >> the expanding romney's. >> they takehe same light? have you pass that onto them? >> it is an important job to share with my grandchildren, if you will come up the legacy. they are really three elements to our family legacy. number one is our commitment to the family. caring for one another. number two is our commitment to faith. god lives and jesus christ is his son. number three is kindness. >> for someone that looks at that and says how can they be that good. >> we are not. [laughter] there been times in my life that i have strayed from being 100% accurate or 100% honest when i've done things for advantage or politics. i look back at those things now with great regret. and so i stay at -- say at this stage of my life, i'm not doing it anymore. i will be straight and honest to the extent that i can. i will not worry about what the consequence may be for me politically or otherwise. >> in an age of social media it can get dark sometimes. it is tough to pull out of that. >> i wonder how people who read the comments actual

for a while romney was riding high.ere extraordinary files of research but he always wanted the nomination. iraqis say he famously or infamously came back from vietnam from a trip to vietnam and observed -- but he changed his view because when he went there they have been brainwashed by the briefings he had been given by mccartney -- mccarthy >> i have been brainwashed gene mccarthy said. >> we have that picture of you with nelson rockefeller. tell us about him. >> i mentioned a lot of us were partial to rockefeller and i had done some work for rockefeller as opposition research on very goldwater. this was taken from 1968 when i won the being the head of intelligence when nelson rockefeller had his campaign and 33 delegates in the convention. that was when i was working and as i say in the book he had the globe. a glow. he was a schmoozer and not particularly articulate but romney had real feelings about religion in such and he would occasionally try to lumber through and he had the brotherhood of man fatherhood of and

. >> going to help mitt romney popularity. >> 47% is bad enough, harming romney and his campaign. >> romney -- >> hurt him specifically the 47% comment he made in florida. >> the comment has potential to hurt. >> jason: for democrats, rules they are always different after calling the country fascist, semi-fascist and last week joe biden able to turn around and blame -- -- -- they got nothing else to talk about except killing unborn children and calling patriotic americans who love the constitution semi-facist. question along the lines of what lisa said, who is facist, the one who believes the federal government should shut down church and school, say you can't report to marine corps unless you have a vaccine, who is facist? the one wages war on gender, family, parent, every norm in society? the left are facist making your life so hard and i think the american people understand that and that is what this election is about, about the american people and a lot of democratic voters saying stop with all the woke and socialism, we can't take it anymore. >> jason: the president today is one

>> listen -- >> -- analysis. >> the world changed tremendously. 2012 democrats told us that mitt romney killing monster. now mitt romney is a hero -- >> democrats are saying if he ran, i might vote for him. >> which is insane. you would not. you'd vilify him again but this is what happened to liz cheney. this is what happened john mccain who was always a war hero but he was also called a warmon warmonger and by the left revered. this is how trump disoriented and kind of flipped the political landscape. >> it's hard to, you know, to hear all the time, you know, this is not the republican party. donald trump is not the republican party. election deniers aren't the republican party and they're winning everywhere and it is kind of hard to say, you know, maybe -- maybe the mitt romneys of the world and the liz cheneys, that's not the republican. >> you have to look at the fact with donald trump when he was in office, we lost the white house. we lost the house and we lost the senate and what we're seeing now in these primary races, we're talking about the base of the party election deniers, p

this is the 2.0 of romney's bill. he took intoti account criticism and he made improvements and there are probably other laws that could be improved event. further. we should be participating in both. >> we also need to talk about adoption o. there's a backlash against adoption. we could talk for hours more. unfortunately we have to close the moment. morere conversations i'm sure we we'll have more conversations in the coming weeks and months. it's really critical to make sure -- so often women are asked they'd rather choose abortion then abandoning their child. there are so many struggling with infertility who would love to raise ae child. so many human conversations we have to have been so many stories we have to tell about the pregnancyte health center ad you talk about that in the book. each one of us considers ourselves pro-life as you mentioned earlier and saying what more can i do because there's so much more that needs to be done. i had a conversation with a reporter on friday and she didn't believe that there

i it's haunting romney and his campaign. it has been a brutal for mitt romney in the wake of his 47% comments. recent events in mistakes on romney's part have hurt him with specifically the 47 percent comment he made in florida and things like that. comm mad47% comment.ike that. >> they really do have pot the potential to hurt. >> but of course, for rules democrats, the rules, they're always different after callingr half of the country fascist. i mean, i'm sorry, semi fascist. bideist. is somehow able to turn aroundto and blame the right. remember what used to be the criticism of biden was running biden's too bipartisan. biden is too many republican friends. it was a lot of republican i've worked with for all the years in the senate. i got a lot done. we respected each other when we disagreed, we disagreed on principle. we never went had lunch together. not a joke. >> what in god's name has happened to that? the united states of america. >> and if you thought he might use his speech today in wilkes-barre, pennsylvania to tur

with her losing, it was symbolic of the bush cheney, romney wing of the gop is in the rearview mirror her for what she did, i commend her for saying, no elected office is worth sacrificing the principles that we fought for and we were sworn to protect and serve. but at the same time, she doesn't have a constituency. who is in her corner right now? look, again i commander for what she did, right now, she has been an ally for democrats in the january six committee, she has been a willing topic for the beltway media. and she has been a willing antagonist against donald trump in the election deniers. >> and the whole republican party, really. >> so call me crazy, i don't see that as it can as a constituency for someone going for the presidency. >> clearly, she should be commended for standing up for democracy. but what we're doing now is just analyzing her path. this is not a criticism of liz cheney to say that she was ousted by the very party that her family helped create. i think that's a legit -- analysis. >> listen, the world has changed tremendously. 2012, democrats told us that mitt

this was 2.0 over romney's bill. i'm sure 3.0 will be even better. he took into account criticism. he got and he made improvements. they're probably other flaws that could be improved even further in his offices willing to continually improve it. we should be participating in those discussions. we also need to be talking about adoption during the dobbs debate and the oral arguments in particularly. there is a backlash against adoption. also again safe haven laws. um, we could talk for hours more. unfortunately. we have to close in a moment, but more conversations. i'm sure we'll have more conversations about this in the coming days and weeks and months really critical to make sure that you're so often women are asked they rather have. they rather choose abortion rather than knowing that they abandoned their child mean while there are so many couples struggling with infertility. who would love to raise a child to a woman courageously, you know gave birth to and so so many human conversations we have to have and and so many stories we have to tell about the pregnancy help centers and

where people who voted for bush, they voted for mitt romney, they sort of regret that because that is not the way they wanted the party to go. it's like i was just saying -- the caller sounds like so many of the voters in my focus groups and i think it represents well the shift in the party, where there is an idea that there is a deep state that is working against trump, the fbi that just executed the search at mar-a-lago for top-secret documents that trump was keeping there, that was done by the head of the fbi, who was appointed by trump. i always find it a little bit amusing, i guess, when so many republican voters look at all the people that trump himself appointed and then call them the deep state and people out to get trump. i sibley don't think that's true. -- simply don't think that is true. host: do you think the search at mar-a-lago will be a galvanizing force amongst republicans? guest: it is absolutely too soon to say. there is a temporary rally around trump effect we are seeing at the moment, but it will be entirely dependent on what trump was doing with those documents.

romney and rubio are both on the right side of the aisle. there's no reason why those in the left side belt cannot embrace these. we see this happening in the states. texas got lotsn of media attention for the heartbeat bill burdette same legislative session they allocated anal additional $100 million a texas alternative to abortion program. ron desantis about a month ago signed into law the fatherhood initiative in florida. a variety of states are doing both. they are providing the court and they are providing family formation for fathers to be involved in the lives of their children. the ultimate pro-life institution justice institutiont these efforts have already been in the works. we should make them even better. 3.0 will be even better. right other flaws that come improved even further. we should part should be participating. >> we also be talking about adoption during the dobbs debate the oral arguments in particular there is a backlash against adoption. also that safe haven laws. we could talk for hours more. unfortunately at the clos

i don't want anything to do with someone who would vote romney.trol my body. friendship can't control this. it'd be understandable if this piece were written in 2021 after trump attempted to overturn a free and fair election. what interests me, says matt, is, first, this dogmatic attitude is coming from the left, which flies in the face of the old stereotype about liberals being open-minded, free spirits. second, the political figure who was so outrageous and evil as to warrant cutting off friends and family is mitt romney. matt lewis joins us now. flush this out a little bit. obviously, donald trump brought a lot to the surface in 2015 and '16 that was already there in america. >> that's right, willie. so the impetus for this was there was a new generation lab poll, i think done in conjunction with nbc, that showed there were college students today who didn't want to be dorm roommates with people of an opposing party, who didn't want to date or marry people of an opposing party. i think the assumption was that this is a new phenomenon, and likely

what is mitt romney saying about this? absolutely nothing. what is former president george w. bush saying about this? absolutely nothing. so, hearing this, ronald reagan would be devastated. where the living, breathing republicans today who subscribe to rob ronald reagan politics in this country? >> liz cheney and maybe eight others. >> yeah. what he said. what he said. [laughs] yeah. >> what he said. mitt romney, i'm looking at you. michael steele and steve israel, thank you for joining tonight. coming up, it is really fatal but it is spreading fast. and this by where you may have heard, anyone can get it. the facts on the nation's newest public health emergency when the 11th hour continues. i'm jonathan lawson here to tell you about life insurance through the colonial penn program. if you're age 50 to 85, and looking to buy life insurance on a fixed budget, remember the three ps. what are the three ps? the three ps of life insurance on a fixed budget are price, price, and price. a price you can afford, a price that can't increase, and a price that fits your budget. i'm 54, w

republican senator mitt romney is typical. the salt lake tribune reports that senator mitt romney did not respond seeking requests to comment. but every republican who hopes to be president sunday has had something to say about it including yale law school graduate josh holloway at harvard law school graduate's senator ted cruz. he called the fbi partisan attack dogs for democrats, that was his phrase without mentioning the fbi director christopher wray is a republican appointed by donald trump. senator cruz simply lied about the search warrant and the fbi. senator hawley offered a childish comment that merrick garland must resign and, that christopher wray must be removed from office. and senator hawley said something that has been echoed by other republicans. senator halle said quote, the search warrant must be published. the republican demand that the search warrant be made public be described as deafening by a cnn reporter online. deafening. and not one of those republicans is demanding that donald trump reveal but the fbi

the night that mitt romney lost he was talking about romney being -- having his election stolen and rigged. even tweeted a tweet about revolution in the streets, that people should go in the streets. they can't sit back and take it. and we're there now except ten years later. it is now lindsey graham saying, if you hold donald trump to the same standard that every other american is held to, in fact the same standard that lindsey graham would be held to, republicans are going to riot in the street. trump supporters are going to riot in the streets. it is a good -- that is a really good place to start when you look at other republicans, very concerned about how extreme, at least half of their party has become and how it is really hurting their efforts to take over the house and the senate in 2022. >> and we'll talk more in a few minutes about where the republican party is headed at this point. especially with many key republicans talking like lindsey graham, speaking still completely somehow seemingly compelled to always shell for donald trump, what that does for the party in the long run. b

romney thinks if i was president i'd do tax cuts, i'd do conservative judges.ney says when my father was president we didn't have to do january 6th, didn't have to do all the stuff trump did. the problem is the maga base doesn't see it that way. they like the fact trump is coarse. >> you're talking about the politics of pay back and performative attacks and oppression on other groups in the country, which is different, right, if you use richard hauf steader, that is the type of politics that's about asserting power so that day to day you feel important, white grievance, et cetera, rather than oh, what's your policy on funding schools. cheney made darth vader look liberal and that was his line, but so what. as for the divergence you mention, i want to show you said that which is interesting about desantis. politico has these take-aways on the politics side of people saying, gosh, one republican saying this whole thing this week completely handed trump a lifeline, it put everyone back in the wagon for trump again. talk about unintended consequences this is anothe

their favorite one was one that captured trump and romney getting on their respective planes, but evenrate raider, all that stuff. that was therapy frame for him in that election and it was hundreds of ads. the fetterman people think that they have a similar image of dr. oz that kind of is what they really want, it's not about crudites or whether guacamole. >> crudite. >> i'm sorry. i'm not nearly -- we debated yesterday whether there was an "s" at the end. >> he did it in the french style. >> i want to put it up. this image of dr. oz, this image was in the primary, in the gop primary. i want you to pause and just think about this for a second. it's -- it could go fly by you in an ad, but they're really using it a lot. first of all, he's on hands and knees. he's kissing the ground on hollywood boulevard. i'm from los angeles. you don't want to kiss the ground on any public street in america, but really not on hollywood boulevard. there's a lot of bad stuff. and then he's kissing his own name. i guarantee if you live in pennsylvania, you're going to see that image a lot, and it's not a

but you look at mitt romney's 57%. and you look at the republicans, 31%. last night. that's pretty incredible. >> yeah. no, as i said, this is -- there are counties like this across the country. you just think of the big suburban counties. cobb county in georgia, for instance, here, they're used to when george w. bush was president, even when mitt romney was running in 2012, you just looked at it on election night, not if the republicans are going to win, but what's the margin republicans are going to get out of it and then the republicans that suffered the erosion. you look at 2018, it was suburbs, areas across the country. so when you look here in 2022, what democrats are trying to pull off in terms of hanging on to the senate. maybe having some kind of fighting chance in the house. it goes through the johnson counties of america. so that's why i paid particularly close attention to this. but it is also true that if you look at other counties, we can just look at count this in rural, you know, kansas here, this is why i say the rural republicans who voted no on this

. >> reporter: and republicans like senator mitt romney call president biden's move an attempt to attempt to bribe the voters, saying it fuels inflation and foots taxpayers with other people's financial obligations. minority leader mitch mcconnell calling it astonishingly unfair and a slap in the face to every family who sacrificed to save for college, every graduate who paid their debt. >> so, let's get to cecilia vega. president biden promising, obviously, this relief to some 43 million americans, was the number they released late today. you and i were on the air. but bottom line, when will they get this relief? >> reporter: good news right now for some 8 million people who could become automatically eligible because the department of education already has their income information. others, they might have to wait a minute for the administration to create this new form. they'll submit that and see if they qualify. but it's important to say here, this income cap, that applies to the years 2020 and 2021 and anyone who took out a loet after june 30th of this year, they are not jeleligible f
