i think it's sort of fine what he said. >> senator santorum, your former colleague lindsey graham hadthat's not vice president pence's decision to make. i'm sure mr. mueller will wrap it up when it gets time to wrap it up. the only thing i can say is i haven't seen any evidence of collusion. mr. mueller has a good reputation. we'll see what his report says and where he goes, but in the system you can't have the people being investigated tell you to wrap it up. >> you know, senator santorum, what happened to justice taking its course? you know, i don't remember the calls from republicans during the whitewater investigation to wrap it up after one year. >> well, no, there wasn't, but let's just be honest, the intensity of the coverage of this investigation is unmatched. i mean, i was in the congress during whitewater. >> i was in journalism during whitewater and monica lewinsky. we did an awful lot. chartered a jet back from cuba because of that. >> there was a lot of controversial, but it came in fits and starts. whitewater was a long investigation and, yeah, there were periods where t

usually rick santorum would say i'm not saying everybody.m saying these ms-13 types. >> he talked about people being deported today. as he know, the priority of this administration and previous administrationsis to deport -- >> that's actually not true. >> why are they splitting up all of these families that are not ms 13. >> we have seen every way but one get deported. doctors, doctor's kids, veterans get deported by this administration. it is not just the ms-13. >> and previous administrations. >> can we stick to the last 16 months just for argument's sake. >> you didn't hear the obama administration make these kinds of arguments about why they are getting rid of them. this is the last point and rick you can make it. people have been getting thrown out of this country at a pretty decent rate. i know they say the numbers are ticking up. we have to understand why. it could be seasonal. we have to look at it. but the tone has changed. and you are defending the tone. you say a lot of people share this. i'm not talking about ms-13. who is going

"outfront" with me now, reed galen, former deputy campaign manager for john mccain and rick santorum, former senator from pennsylvania. thanks so much. reed, first to you. where do you land on this? is it fair to put this on the president when this comment came from a staffer? >> you know, i think it is for a couple of reasons. one, i've been privileged enough to work with president trump and he set the tone and it was one of respect and one of dignity. not only for the people that work there, but all americans. if this had happened while president bush was in office, first you would have been marched to the oval office then frog marched to the northwest gait. when you work at the white house, you represent and reflect the president. this is just one more reflection of president trump. >> senator, where do you land on this? plays probably the most important voice is john mccain's family. here is what kaitlyn apluded to, but here's what meghan mccain said today. zpl i don't understand what kind of environment you're working in when that would be acceptable then come to work next day an

>> we are coming up on the summer but in the wake of the events with dennis prager and rick santorum.seen this lawsuit opened up gates at berkeley a little bit where they have this attention on them they are more resistant to keep blocking speeches. >> the university says they are willing to work on this and these are people -- we will keep an eye on this. keep us updated on a lawsuit and any future events at berkeley. when we return a tribute to alfie evans, we have been covering it, the english toddler finally lost his race. once there was an organism so small no one thought much of it at all. people said it just made a mess until exxonmobil scientists put it to the test. they thought someday it could become fuel and power our cars wouldn't that be cool? and that's why exxonmobil scientists think it's not small at all. energy lives here. jbut hey, it's a fun challenge.s a challenge. and our tempur-pedic helps us make it all work. it gives us the best nights sleep ever. i recommend my tempur-pedic to everybody. tempur-pedic is the most highly recommended bed in america. now ranked hi

let's discuss with rick santorum and former u.s.or anita turner, former state senator from ohio and cnn political commentator. good morning to both of you. thank you for starting your memorial day with us. senator, we'll start with you. is it a fair one? is it how you should defend an innocent client? >> well, remember, the special prosecutor is not going to indict donald trump. the reality is the president of the united states is not going to be indicted. but the president of the united states could have issues brought by special counsel that lead to potentially an impeachment. so what rudy guiliani is saying is, look, the trial we're worried about here is not a grand jury. it is not a judicial process. the process here is a political process. that's what impeachment is. the last time it was tried back in the 1990s, bill clinton ran a public relations campaign. he made political arguments as to why he shouldn't be impeached even though there were substantive arguments as to why he broke the law. the question is not whether he broke

rick santorum has had ads like this. >> dana: there is always something. >> juan: his way, brian kemping for governor in georgia, currently georgia's secretary of state said that when people complained about, hey, i am conservative. get over it. but i thought, i am not thinking a lot of conservatives -- and gun owners are going to take to this. in fact, he's heard from gun owners who object. >> greg: what is the liberal counterpart commercial? check out my vegan meal. >> dana: we should take an eye -- keep an eye on this georgia gubernatorial race. >> kimberly: georgia, a lot of families there, at an early age they go hunting or shooting. it's part of the culture. it plays for local. >> juan: don't you think it's a little close to parkland? anyway. "one more thing" is up next. it's just a burst pipe, i could fix it. (laugh) no. with claim rateguard your rates won't go up just beacuase of a claim. i totally could've... (wife) nope! switching to allstate is worth it. when other snacks just can't satisfy. ahh! ♪ your wing nut has you covered. ♪ hi. ♪ introducing planter's crunchers. a nu

senator santorum, what do you make of what happened today?here are a hot of republican conservatives saying this is a ruse. president got the wool pulled over his eyes. >> i think the president is doing what the president always does, which is go on the offensive every opportunity he has. i think he saw an opportunity to go on the offensive, to furtherer cloud the situation. i think he's done that pretty successfully in making the case that this is an improper investigation and that people haven't done right. he continues to put out information to make that point. from the politics of it, what the president is doing has worked out well. >> it is appropriate? you're talking about him including the investigation. that doesn't sound positive. >> i think there's a legitimate concern here about what the prior administration did with respect to the politic of this. if this particular thing rice rises to that level, it's similar to other things that raise questions about the investigation and what was going on during the campaign. not the investigat

. >> we should have former senator rick santorum on. he said one person's informant is another person's spy. in terms of what they are saying that the fbi spied on the campaign. i think for some in the american public it can be confusing. how is investigating a crime spying? >> it's not. what this administration is incredibly good at is wordsmithing whether the word spy or witch hunt or lock her up or build the wall they are good at messaging. we as the listener, we have to be more discriminatory when we listen to what is being said to us and what people are asking us to believe. >> you are on the veterans affairs committee. finally on this memorial day president trump promised to make things better for veterans. has there been progress ? >> my thoughts and my gratitude are with the brave men and women who have given the ultimate sacrifice. this is a somber day. we have to remember what this day is all about. i will say that in the hyperpartisan world of washington d.c. right now the one committee i believe truly behaves in a bipartisan

let's bring in cnn political commentator rick santorum, national security analyst, and david gregory. what are the odds, david, do you think of this summit getting back on track? >> i think probably high. i think president trump wants to do it. i think the north wants to do it. i thought what the president said was true. people play games in these situations. we are dealing with, you know, a tyrant, and somebody who oppresses his own people. somebody highly unpredictable. president trump in something waste also impulsive and unpredictable. but we also talk about this is the art of the deal in terms of how president trump operates. i think all of this has been a negotiation. and i think underneath it is a real process that we should give them room to really have a shot at. because there is so much conventional wisdom about how to approach this on north korea that frankly has been wrong over the years. so the fact they are still this close to real conversation i this i is meaningful. i think there is no question there has to be some kind of guarantees for the north around the security,

senator from pennsylvania rick santorum. >> the president says things that don't comport with the facts what is does that mean? >> i don't like calling people liars, but the reality is, this president has a problem. i've said that over and over again. i wish he wouldn't go out and say things that don't comport with the facts. >> let's bring back david gregory and april ryan for their insight. some republicans, especially republicans, david, who are not seeking re-election, they are speaking out. but a whole bunch of others aren't speaking out, referencing the president's misstatementing. >> the president has to be held accountable for lying, he just does. all presidents lie, but he seems to do it far more routinely. and i think, you know, even supporters of the president who may not like kritd schicriticis if they're going to hold us accountable, they ought to hold us accountable as well for lies that speak to real insecurity, you know, that raise such credibility questions. and that are easily exploitable. you know, when we talk about the influence of the russians, you know, these are

. >> rick santorum expressing concern by senators on both sides of the aisle and sponsors failing to follow-up with hhs does not mean the children are in idea. >> the idea that they are, quote, loss, is hyperbole to try to create an issue that i don't think where there is one. >> reporter: the findings from a 2016 sub committee report shows the problem is not partisan, that even accident occurridurin administration, more oversight was needed. the report saying hhs's policies and procedures are inadequate to protect children in agency's care, so much so that the report found that the children were placed in the hands of human traffickers. like this case from 2014 in which a number of imgrants were forced to work an at egg farm in ohio for up to 12 hours a day, six to seven days a week, and in inhumane conditions, and without pay. even though federal officials say they do not have a legal responsibility to track these children down to make sure that they are not in dangerous conditions, erica, senators on both sides of the aisle question, does the united states have a moral responsibil

senator santorum, let's start with the basic idea of the scandal, forget stormy daniels' performanceen a lot of conflicts stories what the president knew about this payment, when he knew about this payment. you heard kellyanne conway try to say when the president in april was asked about it on air force one, he was just talking about what he knew in october of 2016 and not the present day. does this concern you? i've heard you express concern about the president and his issues with sticking to facts. does this concern you? >> look, i think everyone on the republican side would love to see this go away, and the best way for this to go away is to put out the information, you know, settle the case. here's what i knew, when i knew it. and move on. i don't think the american public cares much about this. i think they discounted this, the idea that stormy daniels' revelation before the election would make any difference, given the "access hollywood" tapes and everything else out there. none of this would have made a difference. >> congressman meeks, one of the issues is they don't do this.

except for santorum, his campaign was not noticed by anybody. except for trump, who took an odd position on an even number of days. this is favored by a minority of americans admit even smaller minority of republicans. in every primary exit poll, we found the majority of republican voters were in favor of providing a path to citizenship. but among people who treated this as a top issue, trump was getting a significant portion of the primary. and other people who had said, if we didn't see support a path to citizenship unconditionally, it doesn't mean we wouldn't support a path when we see how hard people are fighting for it. as a result, you have a new leadership group in the party that is in certain respects well to the right of where the medium republican voter is. john: if a majority -- i saw the same exit polls. a majority supported a path to citizenship. that is not the policy of the president they voted for. is this the case where the president is setting the agenda, instead of responding to the ideas? michael, you spent years trying to ma

exception to that being rick santorum, whose presidential campaign was basically not noticed by anybody and trump. except for trump, who took an odd position on an even number of days. this is favored by a minority of americans and an even smaller minority of republicans. in every primary exit poll, you've found the majority of republican voters were in favor of finding a path to citizenship rather than deporting all illegal immigrants. but among people who treated this as a top issue, trump was routinely getting about 15% of the vote. a significant portion of the primary. and other people who had said, if we didn't see support a path to citizenship unconditionally, it doesn't mean we wouldn't support a path when we see how hard people are fighting for it. i think you had a lot of concerns among republican party figures were blind to, partly because they misread where public opinion actually was on this. as a result, they created conditions where you have a new leadership that is well to the right of where the median republican voter is. bitet me push back a little on that. i saw the sa

thatreat exception to being rick santorum whose presidential campaign was not noticed by anybody, and trump, who took alternate positions on even and odd-numbered days. the favoring a more immigration is something that is favored by a minority of americans and an even smaller minority of republicans. in every primary exit poll, we found the majority of republican voters were in favor of providing a path to citizenship. rather than deporting all illegal immigrants. but among people who treated issue,tion as their top trump was getting a significant portion of the primary. and the other thing is, you have other people who are open to a path to citizenship, as i am, it does not mean we would be open to it path to citizenship you had a loty, of concerns among republican voters in particular, republican politicians, media figures were blind to partly because they miss read where public opinion -- public opinion was. they have created conditions were you have a new leadership group and a party that is now well to the right of where the median republican voters -- motor is. oter is. >> i saw

nomination last time was in favor of higher levels of legal immigration and great exceptions to rick santorum not noticed by anybody. and trump is sort of took alternate positions even on odd numbered days. the favoring more immigration is something that is favored by a minority of americans and smaller minority republicans. in every primary exit poll, you found a majority of republican voters in favor of providing a path to citizenship rather than deporting all illegal immigrants but among the people who greeted immigration is their top issues, trump was routinely getting 55% of the vote. that's 10% or 11% of the primary. that's a significant portion. you have a lot of people who are up to a path of citizenship as i am. does that mean we would be up into a path of citizenship unconditionally. doesn't mean we would be open to doing not before we seen it demonstrated willingness to enforce the immigration of the work place. a lot of concerns among republicans in particular by republican politicians and consultants and media figures were maligned to partly because they misread where it was on t

here to debate, assistant for former pennsylvania senator rick santorum.you in god we trust, you find that offensive that is on the money in your wallet. why do you feel that is offensive? >> i don't think the motto is offensive. the government is choosing to sanction a certain religious motto and trying to push that on all americans. i objected to, i objected to the row proposal for two reasons. one senator hall, the author of it, 21% of americans don't believe in any god. despite his saying he wants to be welcoming and uniting people, this is the opposite of that, for that 21%. it is something foreign to them not welcoming. i oppose it as christian on behalf of the 79% who do believe in a god i don't think it is appropriate for government to be choosing the terminology, the words, how and where we're pushing things. to me again as i said the motto is not what is offense sieve. the fact government and politic are sanctioning. it doesn't promote religion or welcoming to the schools or anywhere else. melissa: what is your opinion. >> democrats abandoned peo
