but evbefore i ask 2020 rick santorum about this, i want to ask 2014 rick santorum about actions like this. and this is what 2014 rick santorum says. he says, tonight's announcement by the president is just another in a long line of power grabs by this administration. the president simply does not believe that the executive is a co-equal branch of government. time after time, president obama then has ignored the rule of law and the balance of power between each branch of government and ignored the will of the american people. that's what you and to be fair, many republicans felt in terms of president obama's use of executive actions. how do you feel about it now when it's a republican president? >> i would say, number one, some of the things the president is suggesting are proper use of executive action, like suspending the payroll tax temporarily. he'll need congress to come back and make it permanent, so people don't have to pay it back. but he can certainly do that. that's not -- a couple of the executive actions are clearly fine. there's a couple that are not and i would say that

. >> republican senator, senior political commentator rick santorum. van jones, former senior adviser to president obama. senior political commentator david axelrod. what message does the president and the republican party need to way during this convention? >> i mean, i always say campaigns are about to the future, not the past. the president's going to tout his record on the economy, but i think they need to focus more on what they're going to do in the future. i think he has an opportunity here, like he did four years ago, to connect with working men and women. not just white working men and women, all working men and women. many of whom have definitely been hurt by this pandemic. but they're going to look at who's the person that's going to turn this country around and get it going again? when the pandemic begins to subside? and he's got to make the case that he's got a plan and that he is the guy that can execute on that plan. he can point to the past, but i think the democrats, most of the campaign was about joe biden's a good guy, donald trump's

that's how you talk to people in a campaign, as senator santorum knows.e like they're some other demographic group in a spreadsheet is not the way to do it. >> president trump didn't have the support of establishment republicans in 2016 either and we certainly know how that turned out. what do you make of what he needs to do or what he can't do? >> well, i mean, it just seems like he's doubling down on the same failed strategies. he's going to launch another fear-based campaign. i'm sorry, suburban republican women are not going to be scared of cory booker unless he brought yucky cupcakes to your house. he doesn't -- you can keep giving him this advice, but that's not who he is. look at what happened in the 2018 midterm elections. donald trump tried to scare everyone and say a caravan is coming and i'm going to send the national guard to the border to stop it and monitor it. and then republicans got blown out. democrats swept the house, flipped 41 seats by the biggest margin in history. and still donald trump -- now his big idea is to send law enforcement

as rick santorum or david said he is there in order to highlight a trump administration policy.is on the government dime, period. >> we're going to take a quick break and have more of this obviously. we'll see a lot of the trump family tonight and throughout the conventioconvention. the president's son and daughter have speaking roles tonight. all of that ahead. we'll be right back. do you know how it feels to live with schizophrenia? i am a good parent. jared? i'm hearing the most awful things, people shouting at me. it's ok. when you live with schizophrenia like us, it can feel like you're living in a different world. you should definitely talk to your doctor and ask about fanapt. ok. fanapt is approved for the treatment of schizophrenia in adults. in clinical trials, fanapt significantly improved symptoms of schizophrenia compared to placebo. cynthia, are you ok? i feel like everyone's out to get me. fanapt may change your heart rhythm which could elevate risk of sudden death. your doctor will consider this when deciding among treatments and may prescribe another medication f

hopefully the american people will be able to see through it. >> senator santorum? what do you think about that? >> okay. aoc and john kasich on the stage on the same night. that's ketchup and peanut butter, too. you heart my response to anderson questions and david, mine was we got to reach out and connect with people that are still out there who haven't decided and david is right, we have to rally the base. the democrats try to do both. they try to appeal to moderates, have colin powell and people come and speak and at the same time they had bernie and aoc and that's what a convention is and you say people see through it, they do see through it. they realize you got to get your people excited to come out and vote and reach out to the undecided and that's what this cop ven convention is going to do. >> we're minutes away from the spotlight and his two tradition breaking appearances tonight and hear from everyday americans including a couple caught on camera waiving guns at pe ine i protesters during a black lives matter march. what sort of a person should become a

joining us now is former political senator rick santorum and also with us is bakari sellers. last night was chaos in kenosha. the cell phone videos of witnesses and people who are involved was just jaw dropping. two people were killed, rick, senator, and we don't have many details because it's so chaotic. all we see is what we see on these cell phone videos and we do know that police say they're searching for that guy. he appears to be a young man. he appears to be white. he's carrying a long gun. we'll wait for the official police description of him, but there's a manhunt on for him. will president trump raise this at the rnc? should he? >> well, all i can say is i don't know of anybody that supports vigilante justice. i mean, that man running with a long gun through a crowd and shooting people, i mean, that's -- it reminds me of the similar to the school shooting. i mean, it's someone who is lawless. someone who's obviously -- he has some very serious issues. to be running around shooting people randomly. that's indefensible period. >> go ahead. >> no, i just -- you know, w

you know, tonight, i heard rick santorum say when anderson was pushing him about, what's up with why cory booker's going to bring more blacks to your neighborhood? why cory booker? >> you know why. >> rick says it's just the kind of thing that makes me scratch my head and makes me wish i wouldn't say it. you got to say it about him. you know exactly why he is saying it. i can't get inside the mind of the man. oh, please. if you were running against him, you'd go after him in a second. and rick is just symptomatic of what you see, too much, on that side. and then, after that, they say, well, i wouldn't say it. it really just makes me sick in my stomach. then, say, mr. president, i'm a republican. stop lying. stop hating. stop saying these things. you're embarrassing your party. >> there is always the outline. well, i don't know what's in somebody's heart. >> yeah. and then, you seem to know everything about the man or woman. >> i don't know what's in your heart, except for like a bunch of french fries. >> right now, a few cobwebs. about a third the size it should be. not enough blood

republican senator rick santorum. rick, thanks for coming on this morning. >> good morning. >> yeah, thank you. >> we heard a lot of doom and gloom last night about the possibility of a biden presidency. i wonder, given that this president has been in charge for four years, he warned of american carnage four years ago in his inauguration speech. should the president take responsibility for any of the violence or division that we're seeing today? >> look, i think everybody has some role in taking responsibility and certainly the president and some of his rhetoric, you know, would fit into that category, but, look, there's -- as there always is, there's two sides to every story. look, i thought the president's speech candidly for the president was pretty standard political fare. it was not -- it was what you would expect from a president who -- who is going to defend his record, who is going to say, you know, all the positive things he's done. i don't know too many presidents go out there and apologize for everything th

senator durbin found willing partners on the republican side of the aisle my 1st co-sponsor was rick santorum one of the most conservative republicans from pennsylvania he was on the spot with me and then after he left the senate i had senator vitter from louisiana another very conservative senator so it turns out that when it comes to humane treatment of animals and dogs in particular this is very bipartisan if a bill like pups went to the floor of the house of the senate it would be an overwhelming yea vote for the measure it would be 9095 yes votes in the senate you know be $400.00 or so yes votes in the house $430.00 but the problem is on an a wall for legislation the congress is that many of the bills get tracked to the house and senate committees on agriculture and those committees are populated by the most rural lawmakers aligned with the biggest agribusiness interests in the united states. now look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. must obey the orders given by human beings except where such a conflict with the 1st law show your identification for s

. >> senator santorum? >> well, look, i have a couple things.ff, you have to look at the point of the republican national convention is. the republican national convention is four nights where the president has the opportunity to speak to the nation about getting him reelected and i think that's got to continue to be their focus and it will continue to be their focus. they have to talk to the people that support the president's policies and make sure they get out there to vote and he'll reach out to people who are undecided to win. that is the objective and that's what he should do. i agree, that was -- the shooting is horrible. it's a tragedy. but van, there is shootings going on every single day. whether they're vigilantes or whether they're gangs and the reality is it's a horrible situation that we have to deal with as a country, but i don't think you sort of stop the convention and -- >> i see it differently. >> and focus on something like that. >> i see it differently. i think we're beginning to spiral away from each other this this country

for opulence there so you're absolutely right there isn't a critter if it's at a mosque or rick santorum stock market and that animosity is is actually. getting momentum to the national movement and you see the trunk reach you crito are counting which uses well ok oh i can say is china didn't steal one job from america it was america's elise that sent them overseas ok i mean this is what you just played thing it's just it again it's part of how to divide us this is what you know me the left the traditional left and the traditional right they're always looking for ways to bite the majority of people i actually believe the majority of people actually have a lot of common ground and would have 50 percent 51 percent agreement but it's a it's are pathetic political parties that never want is the habit of a real debate ok because somebody put something money in your car going to make a telephone call or putting your son aboard in the company in ukraine and you know it the the elites have just separated themselves so far from the average person they have no idea how we feel what we're doing it

rick santorum, what stood out to you tonight? >> first, overall great night. i agree with david axlerod, the production value is, we had two weeks to put it together. it looked, i mean, unlike sort of the hostage videos that you saw in the democratic national convention. this was a beautifully produced show that at least i found myself, you know, two hours in toyota like, wow, i didn't feel like i was sitting here for two hours. that tells you something about the quality of production. that is number one. and number two, look, melania a's speech i think is the biggest take away from this. and it was, it was a remarkable speech. you can criticize and say she is different. at the same time, this is his wife and that maybe shows you more about donald trump personally that he has an incredibly strong woman who is, you know, able and willing to go out and speak for herself and tell her mind and she did it beautifully. i can't really remember a first lady's speech, i mean, obviously you know, dr. biden's speech last week was a good speech. but it was about her and h

senator santorum, what did you make of what we heard from vice president pence?h on mike's part. i mean, i think he hit all the right themes. i thought he delivered it well. look, i thought it was actually a fairly -- it wasn't as i think someone earlier described, it wasn't mean, it wasn't nasty. i mean, he -- he just delivered, i think, a very statesmanlike, you know surgical strike on joe biden in a lot of places that i think are going to resonate with the american public. so i think that was obviously, you know, the vice president's speech is the highlight, but i think there were a lot of, you know, really strong -- again, the focus on women. the focus on african-americans, particularly african-american males, i mean, i thought the speech by, you know, by mr. henderson was very, very powerful. and, you know, sort of reciting, you know, that, you know, that republicans have been for, you know, the leading party, you know, supporting -- defending black rights for, you know, well, since 1860. so i think there was a very good night for the president. to appeal to

that's why i wanted to tell this in a more human way and really hone in on the santorums who mattered at this appointment moment. >> speaking of partisanship, we have a question here, could too much partisanship eventually break both parties? >> sure. of course. i mean, partisanship unrestrained is dangerous thing. some partisanship's good, it's clearly good to have cohereunder ideas. i think a lot of people want parties to stand for something rather than just a muddle of watered-down ideas. but if partisanship is always the priority e and if both parties go fully in that direction, they really double down, if the democrats finally say everything's eligible, so be it, we're going home, all out. you'll just destroy the ability of the institution to work. any semblance we have now of policy making in the muddle of the pack demick -- pandemic, that will be gone. all you have is totally manipulate sized responses to every crisis we face whether it's big crises like pandemic and criminal justice reform or small crises like just passing a budget so that the government could actually paw for

order on assistance to renters and homeowners memorandum on differing student loan payments for santorum talked with our political analyst michael yaki to learn more about the possible implications of these orders. stan joins us live. >>in the city tonight with the latest hi dan. >>well grant vicki, the president could be expecting possibly some legal challenges to this because he may not have the authority to approve the unemployment plan because congress has the power of the purse with the president signed into an executive order today is almost 50% less than what americans were getting before the july 31st deadline. president trump says that the states will have to make up a $100 out of the suggested $400 in unemployment aid opponents have been arguing that this request from the states and the overall orders are unfair and a joint statement tonight senate democratic leader chuck schumer and house speaker nancy pelosi with pelosi saying that these policies announcements out. will do little to really help families and the president trump is cutting families unemployment benefits in push

. >> check in with rick santorum, what did you make of tonight and the week? >> well, i think they did what they needed to do that they hadn't accomplished the last three nights which is sort of rip the bark off joe biden. i thought they were pretty easy on him for the first three days. i think you saw incredibly effective, not just the president, who i thoughts did a great job in drawing the contrast of what joe biden -- that's what he had to do. what's america going to look like under joe biden, what's it going to look like under donald trump. i think he did that effectively. i think the low energy works for him in the setting of the white house. it wasn't a rally. i think it was a more serious speech. i think it came across that well. i think the most devastating attacks were a couple of speeches. the muellers were just -- as the dad just sitting there watching them talking about their daughter kayla was just i thought devastating attack on the biden-obama trade policy. that was gut wrenching as well as talking about the policeman who was shot. those two se

eighty's early 99 just place he's a bit difficult because it had to be done but 1st accept rick santorum most of them frankly probably have lost connection with the ok but yes amongst those who had registered its full base the research was done hundreds or action that the appropriate only conservative and certainly that was the assumption on both sides to provide so little party tended to be dislike not allowing overseas voters devoted to their rights for a lot of conservative parts and who are the keynote it what's interesting about this research done at the some such university is in a sense it's cost a whole fresh new light on this subject in the wake of grex and now actually it shows that even before britain is implemented but in an election of which the conservative party was clueless in a referendum when grex is only around 20 percent of the overseas voters 30 for the conservatives now so he's done 6 points well of course you have to remember as your previous item has reminded us no groups lives are affected more by our decision to leave their opinion than the rights of those briti

. >> senator santorum?point about the -- all the speeches being taped is one that needs to be emphasized here. you can't criticize if you're not talking about it when they were taping this before it happened. that's number one. number two, i'm glad the vice president is addressing this issue. i think it's important that when big things happen in the country, that -- and you're talking live, that you address it. and, you know, it's horrible. what that boy did was a horrible thing and should be condemned and i'm glad, van, you said what you said. but i would just offer that the rhetoric on both sides is very overheated. it's a horrible mess. i was involved in politics for a long time. i've never seen two sides of the aisle just look at each other with such contempt and vilified, not just what they do, but their motives behind it. it is both sides. and it's bad -- you can say the president sets the tone and i would agree with you. it's both sides and it's leading to bad things. >> can i say something as a blac
