obama was a very tough candidate, so as mitt romney. he had to do some things in that primary that he was never going to recover from. it seemed like a gentle tide in the past, compared to what these folks are going to do. i think that's one thing the democrats have to do a good job of, making sure that these candidates, and whoever come down that republican cesspool of a primary, pays a price for the things that they have to do along the way, in order to secure that nomination. >> personal question about joe biden. but he's a fascinating figure in many ways. one of the things that i think is interesting about him is that he has been often underestimated. i think that particularly recently, the sense is being written off. he's actually 80 years old. that's not a made-up thing about him. it does seem to have a lot of energy and vitality last night at a time when he is going to have the biggest audience that he probably will have all year. >> that's right. it was a 73-minute speech. that is an exhausting thing to deliver. watching the spe

and mitt romney explaining why he felt the need to say something. rachel scott live on the hill. >>> as we come on the air tonight, we are tracking severe storms and a tornado watch right now. alerts across 20 states. wind gusts topping 50 miles per hour. then the system moving into the northeast. rob marciano timing it out. >>> for the first time tonight, the pentagon confirming four previous chinese spy balloons have flown over the u.s. martha raddatz standing by tonight on where they were, what they flew over, and when. >>> tonight, the alex murdaugh trial, charged with killing his wife and son, and why the courthouse was suddenly evacuated today. >>> the interviews right here tonight and the chilling details of abuse. the father who authorities say moved into his daughter's college dorm. now facing 60 years in prison for assaulting and terrorizing her classmates and friends. linsey davis tonight speaking with two of the victims. >>> president zelenskyy and his surprise visit today, and what he asked for. the emotional plea. >>> and the king of t

what you've seen is the mitt romneys and john mccains and liz cheneys of the party over the last five years were turned into pariahs? right, these were people who were once the leaders of the establishment, the kind of faces of the party. they are now on the fringe themselves of their own party, so they don't have a ton of sway. they don't get to listen to in caucus lunches, don't get invited onto fox news to make their case, the average conservative voter. they don't have the influence they once did so i don't think they've given up. i just don't think the average maga republican or average person still on that committee feels any need to listen to them. >> i wonder if they've been given enough of a chance to scold the radical paranoid theorists among them. i wonder what happened at the "state of the union" when mitt romney effectively cows george santos and, and santos comes out looking like the loser in this interaction, right? the force of statesmans words, the force of elders of the party matters when those words are delivered forcefully. and wonder if you think that we're going

santos responded to mitt romney. it's the first time in history have been told to check up and go to the especially by people who come from privileged. i'm never going to shut up and go to the back of the room i think it's reprehensible to say that to me. >> he is playing the privilege card burden he should we be rooting for? >> i am rooting for george santos. george santos might be a liar, he might even be a drag queen, but he didn't march in a blm rally just after george floyd into and jack are murder rate through the roof, he never did any of that so if he wants to wear women's and put on mitt romney is the one that made my country were spread. >> if you're going to have a fraud contest, let's do that. who is more fraudulent per george santos or mitt romney? you think would win? >> i think mitt romney is not only a huge fraud, he is one of these people who the whole bush era types, they never looked in the mirror and realize this nex generation of. >> 's they are always complaining about, they are the reason we ha

i want to get to mitt romney. because i just wonder if the establishment -- or, those who are still of sound mind and body within the gop, can talk to them about this? >> yeah. i think i can say with some confidence that there are still republicans who are trying to reason with what you call the fringe of their party, which is actually now, increasingly, the mainstream of their party. but they're having a very difficult time making the case. what you've seen is that the mitt romney's and the john mccain's and the liz cheney's of the party over the last five years were turned into pariahs. these were people that were once the leaders of the establishment, the kind of faces of the party. they are now on the fringe themselves of their party. so, they don't have a ton of sway. they don't listen to in caucus lunches. they don't get invited into fox news, to make their case to the average conservative voter. they don't have the influence they once did. i don't think that they have given up. i just don't think the averag

, said mitt romney. well, today, santos, who are starting to sympathize with , we've got to be honest, responded to mitt romney. >> watch. it's not the first time in history that i've been told tim to shut up and go to theino che back of the room, especially by people who come from a privileged background. never and it's not going to be to th the last. and i'm never going to shut up and go to the back of the room. and i think it's reprehensible that the senator would say such a thing to me in the demeaning way. he saio say d it wasn't very mon of him. >> that's what i can tell you. so he's playing the privilege card. who should we root for here? nobody. >> one of them, jesse kelly, might know. he hosts the jesse kelly show. >> he joins us now. so it's also great, of course, but who should we be rootinguldb for? oh, i'm rooting for george santos. you just pointed out soccer. a george santos might be a liar. i might even be a drag queen. i don't know what to believe at this point in time, but george santos

and it is dirty. >> -- mitt romney -- >> i know mitt romney well. i just don't know if he has ever done anything to draw attention to himself in such a way. i don't think that is what it is. i legitimately think and i know that a lot of republicans are embarrassed by this guy. they want to see him go away. he is a major disruption distraction. this is exactly what kevin mccarthy wants to avoid. the problem mccarthy has is that he is still relying on santos's vote. he's trying to have it both ways. but mitt romney -- know, max, i can't agree with you there. he did not do to seek intention attention. he processed into the chamber. the guy was standing next to him. he felt the need to -- >> he offended mitt romney sensibility, certainly. >> imran lee got the headline he wanted. because every day, we are saying, aren't any republicans going to speak out against this guy? and boom -- >> -- he does step up. often. guys, thanks 1 million. carlos curbelo, david jolly and max rose, we appreciate that. and on that note, stephanie wants to wish you a good nigh

romney. >> look, i know mitt romney well. i just know i don't know he's ever done something to draw attention to himself in such a way. i don't think that's what it is. i legitimately think and i know a lot of republicans are embarrassed by this guy. they want to see him go away. this is a major distraction. this is exactly what kevin mccarthy wants to avoid. the problem mccarthy has he's still relying on santos' votes. mitt romney, i can't agree with you there he did not do it to seek attention. the guy was standing right next to him, he felt the need to tell him something. >> he offended mitt romney's sensibilities possibly. >> and mitt romney gut the headline he wanted because every day we're sasaying aren't republicans going to speak out against this guy and boom. >> he does step up often. guys, thanks a million. we appreciate that. and on that note stephanie wants to wish you good night. >> i wish you a good night. i'm so glad to do this with you. from all our colleagues across the networks of nbc news, thanks for stayin

they don't confront george santos the way that mitt romney did. they don't confront the wing that's another party have, or what mitt romney does his gift at this moment is not that he has some original insight, it's that he's willing to say that -- most republicans aren't gonna say. without stepping on lots in my book, it's coming out in october. i think you'll hear a lot more from him along these lines. i don't think that was an isolated incident. >> potentially, deportees the air, what role romney may have paid an empowering the forces within the gop? i'm just gonna leave it there, make a. >> let's leave it there. >> the, buckeye sumy finished writing at, so you know what's in there, we're gonna read and have you back, mckay coppins, thank you for joining my friend. great to see you. >> you. tail >> still more to come tonight. including a potential bombshell decision that's expected out of a federal court in tax, as one that could happen the lives of millions as soon as tomorrow. you don't want to miss that story. and turmoil at the supreme cour

yeah, what romney said doesn't sound too harsh but remember, it is mitt romney. "you ought to be embarrassed, son" is the mormon equivalent of "suck my [bleep] dick, you pussy ass bitch." and then when biden actually started talking, his republican friends across the aisle were not having it. >> entering a house chamber now run by republicans, president biden extending his hand to the new speaker kevin mccarthy, before confronting republican heckling head on. tangling over the fate of social security and medicare. the president taking aim at an idea floated by just a few republicans. >> instead of making the wealthy pay their fair share, some republicans, some republicans want medicare and social security to sunset. i'm not saying it's a majority. >> the comment drawing outrage and boos, including from gop firebrand marjorie taylor greene. >> chelsea: republicans were acting like wild animals. and i liked it! keep this up, guys. you finally made a state of the union watchable! marjorie taylor greene stood up during the screech and said lawyer! out, "liar!" and th

like, go, you know, mitt romney. he's exactly right. this is the clown car, and, again, we're talking about george santos. we're talking about margorie taylor greene, heckling. that is not the decor rum, that is not the speakership that mccarthy thought he was getting into. >> the result of this is also somewhat intentional. white house officials today, and aides that have been working on the strategy moving forward, as we get to maybe a likely potential re-election announcement, a main part of the strategy is drawing the contrast of the economic policies of the white house, and for a while, they were looking for a foe there, and they found it with some of the prose posals coming from republicans, and also the heckling put a spotlight on some of those proposals. >> it was an effort to show, bring it on, he's ready for the fight. it was not just about the substance, but it was leer that stylistically, he wanted to send a message, i'm ready. >> and the thing too, kevin mccarthy was not trying to shush people out of some sort of civic duty

mitt romney of all people. when the 11th hour continues. h hour continues before dexcom g6, my diabetes was out of control. i was tired. not having the energy to do the things that i wanted to do. before dexcom g6, i was frustrated. all of that finger-pricking and all of that pain, my a1c was still stuck. there is a better way to manage diabetes. the dexcom g6 continuous glucose monitoring system eliminates painful fingersticks, helps lower a1c, and it's covered by medicare. before dexcom g6, i couldn't enjoy a single meal. i was always trying to out-guess my glucose and it was awful.

hey, mitt romney, just reminder, you'll never be president. obviously, something happened there. >> yeah. and also reflects the position george santos believes he's in. he feels extremely comfortable. he was so energized. >> i think if there is a political talking point that president biden is not on it, last night was a he performance of mental acuity. it's not easy to deal with hecklers in any environment. >> he used that -- one of the moments on social security and medicare to make them all commit. okay, so you all agree with me. >> yeah. in fairness, speaker mccarthy said out loud those things are off the table. but the point of the state of the union is for the president to gather around and explain his messaging, right? and to set the parameters. and by doing that, for the people who haven't been watching with baited breath, all of these little minor congressional press conferences, it looked like he had sort of turned the moment on them. and, you know, it is also interesting seeing this juxtaposed with the republican rebuttal. i know ka

mitt romney is thinking at that point, -- so you have mitt romney who is somebody who tries to get legislation passed. i don't agree with all of it, usually, but he at least wants to legislate. like, say, scott, hollies, et cetera, if he's not gonna legislate either but he knows how to win how to strategize, how to put together an agenda or lack thereof to help the republicans get a majority. >> i think that romney wants his reputation. i don't know him at all but he strikes me as someone who would want his reputation. but we have more of the week coming up, and i'm going to preview it by giving you guys a steak on who you want to win the super super bowl. and we have two black quarterbacks. who are you going for a win to the two quarterbacks do you want to take home with? >> i'm gonna go baylis. i'm rooting for everyone black. >> so am i. i like mahomes to. but mahomes already has -- a analysis already and when you go for philly. >> my dad from kansas city and he would disown me if i didn't say kansas city. >> oh, okay. i'll cover him the honor. that's all most of us care about. we're gonna w

what is mitt romney doing here, you think? >> you know, this is a book that i really can't wait to read. i think mitt romney is a fascinating character. he confounded me over the years. as somebody who's been involved in republican politics. because he turns himself into pretzels on the campaign. but he governed -- he governs really well. and it's really clear that he's a thoughtful guy who's has deep character value. and he really cares about the country when it comes to fundamental issues like a democracy. and, he is one of the few republicans, you, know i feel like i'm kind of on an island these days of republican survivor. but he's one of the guys that keeps throwing out a life raft for us. as somebody we're proud of, we respect, and stands up at the right time. >> yes, great unit, maybe not a good politician, so to speak, but definitely a great leader. >> definitely. >> in terms of that way, he's carrying himself in these years. juanita tolliver, mike mckinnon, thank you so much, greatly appreciated. house democrats are t

one woman -- one moment that stood out was mitt romney telling george santos who we now know light about major parts of his life story is under house ethics investigation. today, santos actually fired back and said romney was not being very mormon. does this make you sad? >> i don't know what santos meant by that. i try not to engage with him. it looks like everything about him is suspect. that his name, his background, everything. it is bizarre. medranda is a standardbearer of the republican party. i don't always agree with him but i think most people realize he is not a cheat or a liar. for mr. santos to attack and that way is >> one area i think did get a little across the support last night was when the president talked about big tech. not so much when he talked about taxing them at a higher rate. when he talked about i saw that. what about what he talked about regulating the industry? >> we must find accountable. it is time to bypass -- two pass bipartisan legislation to stop big tech from collecting data on our kids. and impose stricter limits the personal data that companies colle

and far be it for me to ever disagree with mitt romney, my number one senate man there. in the republican caucus. but i do think that this kind of conventional wisdom misses what happened in 2016, which is that town trump would've won a one-on-one with anybody. in order to win the nomination you need to be able to win a large plurality of the party. this is true in both parties going back a long time. yes, the theory you can win with a narrow plurality, but there aren't a ton of examples of that. as the field started to coalesce trump beat marco in his own stupid state of florida. ted cruz. trump won because he won head to head. so this time you're going to have to beat him. a lot of political experts want to talk about the game has been set from the street is strategizing but the reality is to beat him you will need a maga alternative. this is a mega party that has an 80 plus percent approval of this president and so someone like mitt romney or alternate modern moderate candidate won't get to that plurality. maybe rhonda sanchez can but that remains to be seen. but the

we know this was a tense exchange, both george santos and mitt romney have confirmed as much. listen to what romney said as he came off the floor last night after this speech. >> i don't know the exact words i said. he shouldn't have been there. he shouldn't be in the -- look, he's a sick puppy. he shouldn't be there. i don't think he ought to be in congress. and he certainly shouldn't be in the aisle trying to shake the hand of the president of the united states and dignitaries coming in. it is an embarrassment. >> we heard george santos called a lot of things, sick puppy is a new one i have to say from the senator and former republican nominee for president. but, lindsey, i think what is important about this is it demonstrates what a pain in the neck the george santos situation is for kevin mccarthy. he can prevent him from being on committees, he can prevent him from taking any kind of prominent role in any of the rollouts that the republican party is doing, he cannot prevent him from being a sitting member of congress and all the trappings that are afforded there. among th

and apparently, georgie didn't appreciate it. >> meanwhile, santos is firing back at senator mitt romney after they clashed at the state of the union. romney said santos should be embarrassed and should have sat in the back and stayed quiet. >> it's not the first time in history that i've been told to shut up and go to the back of a room, especially by people who come from a privileged background. i mean, i think it is reprehensible that the senator would say such a thing to me in the demeaning way he said it. it wasn't very mormon of him. that's what i can tell you. >> chelsea: whoo. first of all, you can't dress like young sheldon and also complain about people coming from a privileged background. you are saying that wasn't very mormon? but romney is so mormon that whatever he does is the mormon thing to do. he is the king of the mormons! all mormons are mad at you right now and as a jewish person, i will take a leap of faith and speak on behalf of all jews and say we are mad at you too. even the dalai lama is like, this [bleep]? i like how he says it's not the first time he's been tol

now, some reporters were reading lips and said that mitt romney said, you ought to be embarrassed. another reporter tweeting out that romney told reporters when he left the chamber that he told george santos ahead of the address that he should not be parroting in front of the president. when asked if he was disappointed, he responded yes. another reporter tweeting out that mariette miller somehow got between santos in the aisle before president biden made his way down the aisle. she got presidential hand sake. santos was shut out. this report calling it an incredible locking move. a familiar face with on the center aisle tonight, for our longtime c-span watchers. few things in life you can count on but one of them is representative sheila jackson lee holding onto her spot on the aisle for the state of the union. she's had this seat on lockdown for decades. >> the president speech went for 73 minutes. that looks like the second-longest behind president trump at about 80 minutes of all the modern states of the union. republican line. good evening. >> how are you doing? i'm a 19-year-

>> reporter: yeah, mitt romney told him you don't belong here. romney telling him he does not believe that george santos should be a member of congress, in fact, saying he believes he should resign. when i asked mitt romney about that yesterday, he made it very clear he didn't think santos should have been so out front and shaking the president's hand. and he also believed that kevin mccarthy should call on santos to resign. >> i didn't expect that he'd be standing there trying to shake hands with every senator and the president of the united states. he shouldn't be in congress and they're going to go through the process and hopefully get him out but he shouldn't be there, if he had any shame, he shouldn't be there. >> reporter: are you disappointed that kevin mccarthy did not call him to remind him? >> yes. >> reporter: mccarthy said there's an ethics committee process that will play out and he's expected to face investigation. but mccarthy has not gone as far with the republicans in new york and to flip to the democratic side to tighten his alr

. >> mitt romney. >> just shut up. but while they were -- these people were yelling in the back, joe biden was talking about building an intel plant in ohio, talking about the jobs that will go an average of $130,000, a lot of those jobs to people with high school degrees, talking about wisconsin, talking about -- i mean, it really was -- >> made in america. >> made in america. and by the way, they didn't cheer when he said we need to have the supply chain start in america. >> america. >> that's the line. >> that is made in america. and republicans couldn't cheer for that. i just -- i want to follow up on what elizabeth said here. this is really what democrats have not been able to do effectively since bill clinton, when he could go to iowa, any county in iowa, and hug a farmer and know that he had that farmer's vote. >> and i was wondering, why -- because the language -- some of the language that biden used was not different than other speeches, but it did seem to hit differently last night. and i think it might have

you can see mitt romney said something to him. they appeared to exchange some words. romney reportedly said, i would be embarrassed. the utah senator was asked about what happened and is clearly not a fan of the newly elect they'd congressman. >> if he would not be there. he was standing right there in the aisle. i did not hear anything that he said. kumasi: santos has been mired in numerous controversies, including lying on his resume. reggie: governor sanders also mentioned big tech. he called on republicans and democrats to fight against the growing dangers. gloria rodriguez is live with what experts are saying about that. reporter: calling for or better regulations but getting bipartisan or might be a challenge. now is the time to finally hold social media companies accountable for experiments that they are running on our children for profit. this addresses here is what was said about big tech. pres. biden: it is time to pass bipartisan legislation. limits. >> there is a lot of concern about censorship. on the others that have the isle, you have people worried abo

>> look, i think mitt romney is known to be a really generally very nice guy. when you see him really going at it with someone in that way publicly, you know that it's coming from a place where he feels like from a moral perspective, ethical perspective, the other person is wrong. i don't think romney is wrong about the idea that george santos really has no shame. he seems to have no remorse, no sense of the gravity of the things that he has done and said. and, yeah, it's amazing. he stood in that position so he could shake the hand of the president of the united states when there are real questions about every aspect of his biography. i think it's an extraordinary moment and just another sign that mitt romney, he is not afraid to kind of go after someone if he feels like from a moral perspective they are doing the wrong thing. >> you know, michael, let me get your thoughts as well. >> every state of the union there are those members of congress who position themselves where the dignitaries are going to walk in as abby just referenced. the temerity of santos to

mitt romney and one thing he said is that he actually supported biden's decision, right, the people who were saying biden should have shot over montana, that was app apparently according to cnn reporting biden's initial instinct then the military said, no, wait for it to pass over so there's minimal damage to anyone on the ground and also biden was focused on let's retrieve the data and get the information. >> gave them time to observe it. >> which was a response i appreciated from mitt romney because the fact to alyssa's point it shouldn't be so easy to divide the country. there should not have been political responses but should have been a response in support of a white house that was anging at the urging and recommendation of the u.s. intelligence community and the military. that is what this should always have been by way of response. >> can i say one thing? i spoke to chuck schumer earlier. he mentioned he would be in favor of a bipartisan investigation into just to look into the origins and i think that's an incredibly important starting point because, to some it may be weather p

and this comes with santos defending himself against attacks from senator mitt romney who hold him that he didn't belong in congress during this tense exchange just before last night's state of the union. >> it's not the first time in history that i've been told to shut up and go to the back of the room. especially by people who come from a privileged background. and it's not going to be the last. and i'm never going to shut up and go to the back of the room. and i think it's reprehensible that the senator would say such a thing to me in the demeaning way he said. it wasn't very mormon of him. >> making it about privilege. santos facing growing calls to resign not because of privilege but because of his many lies with one of his fellow republicans calling him a, quote, sociopath today. >> reporter: the spate of lies from freshman congressman george santos have done more than anger his constituents. it's also raising serious questions about why santos constantly lies. >> when we're talking about pathological lying, we have a clear-cut example in the headlines every day. >> he is a psycho

w how can you not root for him for when mitt romney hates him? right. rip rip momani sounds right. >> yeah. rip romney approached him at the state of the unionwh and basically said, why are youe here?? how da rehow dare he. >> yeah, i'm not a mitt romney found it'd be weird if you were. . he's he's just kind of there. yeah.f there. like what part of it would make you know, like what what part of it would make you a fan?i men no, i mean, look, he he's aire. liar. >> i'm i don't root for a liar. i also something that i've been really looking for that i haven't been able to find is whether or not he has everr r called anyone else have beenupse upset about anyone else beint g a liar. that's a good point, because that would be so interestingt to me. else that's i wan bt to hear from whatever guy dated him or whatever . like who has hwhe ever accused someone of lying and that would be i justanothere add another layer of psycho. woe and so that would make him a hypocrite. but he hasn't done it. so he's not a hypocrite. >> dthat. maybe he called him a liar and

senator mitt romney spoke with the majority of americans. he spoke to both democrats and republicans. when he denounced george santos as a sick puppy. there is something sick about a man who lies about struggling with brain cancer, lies about his mother dying in 9/11, lies about his employees dying in paul's mass shooting. lies about his ancestry surviving the holocaust. he has defrauded the voters of new york state. he's defrauded his way into the united states congress. it is time for him to be held accountable. >> now, we can mccarthy is still sticking by santos and he's waiting for the ethics committee. he's refused to call from the too step down. despite the many lies you are and some of them that have been uncovered of the past several weeks. many of these are just simply lies. they are absolute lies. they are separate from other investigations that are now ongoing into whether there is real legal culpability and other things. do you think santos is in congress to stay at this point? if mccarthy does not change his view? >> it appears

>> i do, look, alex, there is a reason why donald trump won the presidency and mitt romney didn't. what donald trump tried to do is he realize that republicans needed to win the working class. you can't be a working class party when you are cutting very benefits to the working class. and now there are people in the congress who are saying flash social social security, slash the health care, slash the health programs that would help people and east palestine. and -- then you have donald trump looking at this and saying you're committing political suicide. a lot of the policies that he rejected mitt romney trying to fashion a more working class constituency are ones that the extreme wing in the house and senate are in agreement with. and that i think would be political disaster for them in these battleground states. >> i have to ask you, matt gates and low and boebert coauthored a letter again, food stamps snap, and i want to read you a selection from it. as the united states approaches the brink of untenable debt levels, i writer urge you to work with the u.s. congress to enact wher

they declined to comment about this episode, but mitt romney made very clear to me last night he wants george santos to resign and he wishes his speaker of the house would join him in those calls. >> good lord, the gall. >> we don't eno the true nature of george santos' background. manu raju, stay with us. joining us is laura barone lopez who is correspondent for "pbs newshour." we know the administration feels good about this speech last night, but do they feel that the president was effective enough in defending his record and more importantly now promoting why he should in fact run for 2024 for re-election in 2024 if he decides to do so? >> yes. all of the white house officials that i've talked to today and after the speech say that they feel as though he made a very effective case for continuing his work the next two years and also trying to effectively sell -- >> we're going to interrupt you to take our audience to the president's speech right now. he's reading rick scott's plan on social security cuts. >> ron johnson on social security and medicare, quote, we should transfer ever

>> i do, look, alex, there is a reason why donald trump won the presidency and mitt romney didn't. what donald trump tried to do is he realize that republicans needed to win the working class. you can't be a working class party when you are cutting very benefits to the working class. and now there are people in the congress who are saying flash social social security, slash the health care, slash the health programs that would help people and east palestine. and -- political suicide. a lot of the policies that he rejected mitt romney trying to fashion a more working class constituency are ones that the extreme wing in the house and senate are in agreement with. and that i think would be political disaster for them in these battleground states. >> i have to ask you, matt gates and low and boebert coauthored a letter again, food stamps snap, and i want to read you a selection from it. as the united states approaches the brink of untenable debt levels, i writer urge you to work with the u.s. congress to enact where requirements as a feature of welfare reform. these incentives will pre

he very well might when the president comes, and so i haven't covered mitt romney for a long time, and we'll get the sense that he was going to talk to george santos. given his presence on the aisle there, you can sort of inject himself into the conversation when anybody arrives. >> it's amazing. lots of members of congress have been problematic in lots of, always including those that have -- we've seen, it's not the first scoundrel to ever be in congress. to have somebody that is universally viewed as a con man, who is on his way out, to be there on a night like this, it's a distraction, and it's an unusual thing. we actually got tape of this interaction, let's watch. >> the last word is party. and another thing, a lot of santas in the party. immature the breeder on set here. >> the fact that we even have to care about what he says as remarkable. it's a remarkable thing. >> he's got a house seat. >> he could've been there and atm getting his seat. >> he doesn't seem embarrassed at all. he doesn't seem the least bit embarrassed. >> he's just being with the homies. >> i get might in the

newt: first of all, i do agree with mitt romney that -- clearly the front-runner is donald trump, all things being even, probably will be nominee although i think desantis governor desantis is very form midable a large bloc of people willing to give a lot of money to stop trump this is not the over you have to say president trump, is the front-runner most likely nominee i also think what is always been impressive about trump because not a professional politicians, he can look with a cold business eye, at reality of the facts if we don't compete on ballot harvesting we are going to lose if we don't learn to you o to campaign earlier we are going to lose. it makes no sense to save money till october if people start voting in early september,at least in one state, 60% people that volunteered before republican advertising campaign reached it's peak i this is what you will see with trump he has come up with a series of videos, some which have very powerful profound ideas proposed, for example, parents ought to be allowed to hire and fire principals of school their children go to i did a po
