romney: these are my children. [laughter] >> governor romney, given meddling in our election by russia, do you think the president has taken that seriously enough? mr. romney: i pointed out in the 20 oh -- the 20 12 election that russia is a geopolitical adversary. they obviously have tried to influence elections. i agree with the president a did not determine the outcome here in our nation anyway, but what they've done is unacceptable. i'm glad that they are being held accountable, and believe without question that russians are trying to interfere with the principles of elected democracy and that has got to end. >> how would you deal with that legislatively? >> specifically what you're talking about? mr. romney: look at the last year, when there have been things i disagree with, i have pointed that out. people know where i stand. they know i have been critical, whether it is something he has said or done. his comments at charlottesville were of a bad nature in that is why i said what i did. interestingly, i expect

romney: these are my children here. [laughter] >> given the indictments today and the evidence of meddling in our 2016 election from russia, do you think the president has taken that issue seriously enough? to note that want i pointed out in the 2012 election that russia was a geopolitical adversary. they poke a stick in our i every chance they get. they tried to influence elections. i agree with the president that they did not determine the outcome in our nation in any way. but what they have done is unacceptable and i am glad they are being held accountable. i believe without question that russians are trying to interfere with the principles of democracy and that has to end. >> how would you deal with that legislatively? >> specifically, what are you talking about? mr. romney: over the last year, when there have been things that i disagreed with, i pointed them out and i would continue doing that. people know where i stand and that i have been critical when there is something that i disagree with. for example, i felt

if you're mitt romney, do you remember how mitt romney and his industry got annihilated for carrying interest, and here we are -- >> still there. >> it's still in there. guys like steve chors man stands next to donald trump smiling for pictures. >> the president likes to be behind winners. going out and endorse k mitt romney earlier ks he's like oh look i got behind mitt romney right there. >> it was like in alabama. >> okay so he gets behind him because he likes to get behind winners. what happens when mitt romney is elected and he guess after the president then what does he do? >> probably like he's doing with everybody else. mitt romney is a good man, a seasoned individual, he's got experience in politics in business. a legitimate businessman, i think he'll bring the sane voice to the senate. >> he understands infrastructure, he understands the operation side of businesses, so -- >> even on the olympics. >> funny. >> he knows how to work with democrats, he was governor of massachusetts. utah is the most conservative state in the nation and she's leading and going to win by 30 plus

he endorsed romney in 2012 when romney ran for president. they have a complicated history. it is interesting because romney doesn't need trump's endorsement. he is in a pretty supportive state. running in his essentially his hometown. when i saw that endorsement after i spit water all over myself was why is trump doing this? is he trying to avoid having another enemy in congress should romney get elected? should romney get elected, president trump will say my endorsement got you here. now work together. you should support my legislation. what is behind this? trump has nothing to lose. it is not a competitive state. endorsing the republican candidate in utah? i cannot think of a more safe place. especially with romney as popular as he is in the state. what's behind that? i think seeing this play out and you have a while before the election. i'm curious to see if they keep this up. >> i give it time as the hollywood marriage. give it a few weeks. brenna williams, saw. >>> special counsel robert mueller's investigation moving further into the trump inner circle. the robert mue

two years ago, romney was singing a different tune. next, we're reminding romney of all the things he has said about the president in the past. you're watching "velshi & ruhle" on msnbc. i have type 2 diabetes. i'm trying to manage my a1c, then i learn type 2 diabetes puts me at greater risk for heart attack or stroke. can one medicine help treat both blood sugar and cardiovascular risk? i asked my doctor. she told me about non-insulin victoza®. victoza® is not only proven to lower a1c and blood sugar, but for people with type 2 diabetes treating their cardiovascular disease, victoza® is also approved to lower the risk of major cv events such as heart attack, stroke, or death. while not for weight loss, victoza® may help you lose some weight. (announcer) victoza® is not for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. do not take victoza® if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to victoza® or any of its ingredients. stop t

he tweeted romney would make a great senator. romney thank police departme-- trump. the two have had their differences. the president said romney choked like a dog when he ran against president trump. he called the president a phony, unfit for office. >>> and high school gunman nikolas cruz appeared in court yesterday. he's accused of 17 counts of premeditated murder. his lawyers say he'll plead guilty if prosecutors agree not to pursue the death penalty. shooting survivors are heading to the state capitol. tomorrow they'll hold a rally to try and urge lawmakers to enact tougher gun laws. >>> anger and outrage are being expressed nearly 3,000 miles from the school shooting in parkland, florida. parents turned out yesterday in los angeles for a large protest against gun violence. jamie yuccas was there. >>> what do we want? >> gun sense! >> when do we want it? >> now! >> reporter: the message from mothers rang loud and clear. hundreds protesting in downtown los angeles, many personally touched by gun violence including debra nelson. >> i can't talk about that. >> repo

and mitt romney got a chance to say thank you, mr. president and then immediately you'll notice in his tweet immediately turned the focus back to utah. he said i hope to earn the support of the people of utah. mitt romney in his initial stage of the campaign completely focused on now i'll be a senator and do big things. i'm going to go to washington and represent the people of utah. he went to school there, he has had longstanding ties there, family members are there. he has lived there the last several years. he was deeply involved in rescuing the winter olympics in utah in 2002 but he is very careful to make certain that people in utah recognize that he knows he got to earn their respect and support in shoe leather door-to-door, person to person, meeting to meeting and not be a big dog, the former governor of massachusetts and former presidential candidate. >> jon: mitt romney was calling donald trump a phony and fraud in 2016. in return president trump said romney had no guts and choked as a candidate. that's quite a turnaround fro

in public humiliate him if romney goes to washington analysts say he could be a floridian trump side there was an opening for a conservative critic of trump i don't think at this point mitt romney intends to fill that opening but i think the role could fall upon him if there is increasing criticism of president obama among the conservatives romney didn't single out trolled by name but implicitly criticized his immigration policies utah welcomes legal immigrants around the world washington sends immigrants a message of exclusion romney is considered likely to win the senate seat he's well known and respected in utah where he successfully managed a twenty twelve salt lake city olympics he is a leading member of the latter day saints church commonly known as the mormons whose members are a solid majority in heavily republican huge all mormons have never been entirely comfortable with donald trump his values his lifestyle are very alien to the mormon point of view the question now is will romney's self-proclaimed utah all values translate into opposition to trump values robert oulds al-j

romney: that is a fair question. i remind people that i had the occasion of attending college here for three years and i also came back for the olympics, which was a marvelous experience. after our campaign and my private sector work was finished, we decided to make this our home. we moved here full-time in 2014. it is about 10 years that utah has been our home. our first son was born in this town. we love it here, we love the people here and have had great experiences here. i think the people of utah know that i am a utah person at heart. i love the state i got to live in and serving as governor, that it is really funny. when i go to other parts of the country, and when i ran for president, people all assumed i was from utah. out here, some people wonder. >> do you support daca? mr. romney: the president has indicated he is looking for a path to citizenship for the dreamers. i was more conservative than that when i ran for president, i opposed the dream act. president obama put in place his provisions. i think once

do you think we could see trump head to utah to campaign for romney? would that help romney? >> i'm not sure that would help mitt romney in utah. but i think the second half of that tweet is a little more important than the first half. because he is clearly going to focus on the state, he's clearly going to focus on doing this the right way as a candidate. i think there have been folks upset on both sides of the trump and nontrump republican side of that -- of both those tweets. i think a lot of trump supporters were freaked out a little bit that trump said nice things about mitt romney, who they generally have some agitation about. i think a lot of folks who support mitt romney are like, wait, what? it's been a moment. but i think the second half of that tweet is the more important half of the tweet. he's going to -- thanks, mr. president, moving back, focused on utah again. i think that's what mitt had in mind in that particular moment. >> i want to put this up for our viewers. this photo, remember this, mitt romney's dinner. this was at trump tower. >> that is so painful.

on a mitt romney candidacy. >> so conventional wisdom in this town mitt romney gets in. he is going to win. is he going to win? >> i don't know if he is going to win. i mean, i find this all rather pathetic. he ran for president. he got trounced. a lot of people thought he was going to win. he had a good first debate. but, i think it's time for governor romney from massachusetts, maybe future senator from utah to just kind of find something else. maybe get a hobby. play golf. learn how to knit. go travel. >> already being hit with the carpet bagger thing. >> i worked on the campaign against mitt romney in 2012. i think is he a dedicated public servant. good person. i suspect he will win. what will be interesting is what kind of candidate he is and what kind of senator he is. especially in his relationship with president trump. they have had this sort of on again, off again. he criticized him during the campaign in 2016. then he was up for secretary of state. and they got closer. that will be interesting to watch what role he plays if indeed he wins. byron? >> i don't thi

interesting note, i don't think mitt romney asked, i don't think mitt romney asked for the president's endorsement. i really do believe having talk today people in romney campaign this this just came out of the blue and so mr. romney was very -- the governor was very magnanomous about it. we don't know if it'll last long. ashley: orrin was quite a supporter, he called him heck of a leader. what can we expect from mitt romney, maybe not such a glowing endorsement? >> well, look, i don't think mitt romney would even run except for a lot of this was orrin hatch's idea. romney has grandkids and doing his thing and really it was orrin hatch said that he passed the baton or try to pass the baton as much in politics so surprises me that mitt romney is running but he's running hard here in utah, around the rural parts of utah making his case to utah voters, but, look, where he disagrees with donald trump, he will let the world know, he's not going to be bashful in doing that. it'll be very interesting to see how this plays out. ashley: also, jason, seems romney, by the way was right about russ

romney. the last election shoufz been won except romney choked like a dog. he choked. he went -- i can't breathe. >> here's what i know. trump is a phony. a fraud. his promises are worthless as a degree from trump university. >> like old times. i've had a wonderful evening with president elect trump. >> wow. and to complete the full circle, donald trump has now endorsed mitt romney for the united states senate. >> we'll see what happens. >> you see what happened after chamber lain said peace in our time. >> with us here in washington we have politic senator sam stein. >> great to see you. >> editor of the washington post, and new york times reporter. good morning. >> sam, just on the bump in, you and i have a different view of that. your view is? >> for people expecting mitt romney to be this anti trump persona in washington, d.c., you know, it was always a bit -- what happened last night sort of proved that which is a man who two years ago said he would not have taken trump's endorsement if he had known about all the things that he said about the kkk, took president t

after mitt romney called trump a fraud and phony and trump claimed romney choked like a dog, romney finds himself running for office. guess who just gave him a ringing endorsement? plus thing 1, thing 2 starts next. >>> thing 1 tonight the biggest conservative gathering of the year the political action conference or cpac in maryland just announced the big list of speakers, the president and vice president will both deliver remarks as long with sean hannity and slidely oddly, the hannity and slidely oddly, the niece of marine le pen, heir to france's far right national front party. that's nice. former sheriff david clark was too controversial to get a job in the trump administration but he and his flair still got a spot at cpac. one name absent from the program, nra's executive vice president wayne lapierre. he spoke last year and he spoke there the year before that in 2016 and also 2015 and 2014, 2013, 20 is, also the yearses before that and on and on. you get the point. wayne lapierre representing the nra. it's kind of a fixture at cpac. in the wake of the florida mass shooting did cpac

romney has been a utah resident for four years but his roots run deep. >> the romney name is absolutely gold when it comes to utah. >> reporter: his family traces back generations in the church of jesus christ of latter-day saints. and credited with saving the olympics which was wrapped in scandal. >> romney had a very successful olympics. >> reporter: there are four times as many registered republicans in utah than democrats, like jenny wilson who is running, too. >> i don't think utah in this evolving time and important issues in our state needs to be represented by someone who is not from here. >> reporter: romney has a complicated and antagonistic relationship with the president. >> here's what i know. donald trump is a phony. a fraud. >> he was begging for my endorsement. i could have said, mitt, drop to your knees. >> reporter: should romney win, he walks into the u.s. senate much more than a freshman. someone close to camp romney tells fox news he plans to make his announcement tomorrow. bret. >> bret: alisa, thank you. romney once called russia the biggest, greatest geopolitical

now, governor romney wants to be senator romney. i'm told by people close to him he has no interest in daily fights with the president, but they are a and z. how long can that last? >> it's in both their interest to have this detante now. the last thing the president wants to worry about fighting about is a seat in utah. i wouldn't put it past him and maybe i shouldn't suggest that. and mitt romney doesn't want to be fighting with the president in a red state. six years ago this month, reality tv star donald trump endorsed romney for president. now president trump endorsed mitt romney. >> that was in a vegas spectacle, as we all remember. >> and romney said after that, if trump had said four years ago things he says today about the kkk, muslims, the disabled, i would not have accepted his endorsement. now he says, thanks, i need to win the support of the people of utah. the president wants to get it out of the way and i don't think he wants to talk about it anymore. >> conservatives, republicans, they didn't like romney because they

romney: these are my children. [laughter] >> governor romney,

trump saying romney choked like a dog in the race and romney called trump a fraud. but now romney is running for the senate in utah. and it's like hey bestie, i need your tweeting that romney will make a great senator and has my full support an endorsement. >>> someone who doesn't have his support is oprah winfrey. the president watched "60 minutes" and then hit twitter with some harsh comments. lindsey davis reports. >> reporter: president trump taking to twitter to slam oprah. just watched a very insecure da. >> reporter: president trump taking to twitter to slam oprah. just watched a very insecure oprah winfrey, who at one point i knew very well, interview a panel of people on 60 minutes. the former talk show host sitting down with a group of michigan voters. trump didn't approve, tweeting the questions were biased and slanted, the facts incorrect. hope oprah runs so she can be exposed and defeated just like all the others. spec laying swirled that oprah was considering a run in 20 after this speech at the goolde globes. >> a new day is on the horizon. >> reporte

romney: thank you. thank you. [applause] mr. romney: that could be the most unusual introduction i've ever had. [laughter] mr. romney: thank you, rob. thank you for organizing this event. rob anderson is also here. the organization works so hard to keep our party strong. thank you so much. [applause] mr. romney: it is an emotional time for me to come back and be in this city. i lived here for three years while we were going to school. this is where our oldest son was born. i remember very well the feelings we had as we drove into town. we look to see how much of the same and how much is different. we appreciate them and so many others who have made this a financial success for the party. i want to begin tonight by expressing some sorrow, and that is regards to the tragedy at the school in florida. what happened is unthinkable and unimaginable. our hearts ache for the parents of the victims. children are not only our future, they are our purpose. we invest our energies and then come our hopes, our prayers. we treasure every memor

. >>> president trump has endorsed mitt romney. the president tweeting about romney. he will make a great senator and worthy successor to orrin hatch. the endorse mment is the latest chapter in the relationship between the two. trump was a critic of the 2016 campaign of romney. romney responded with a tweet of his own. saying he hopes to get the support of the people of utah. focusing it back to the people. >>> elsewhere, president trump may feel like he has entered the lion's den with some of the journalists he has been criticizing for a year. plus, he is set to attend the gridiron club next month. they dine and perform comic musical members. the west wing says no decision has been made about attending this year's white house correspondents dinner. the president skipped that event last year. >>> president trump is quick to. in a survey, he ranks low in the 2016 political science presidential greatness survey released on monday. president trump came in dead last. we should note, 57% of the respondents were democrats. only 13% were republicans. factor that in. still, p

romney tweetd ha romney tweeted half an hour later, thank you, mr. president, for your support. i hope over the course of the campaign i get the endorsement of the people of utah. tweeting the in march of 2016, if trump had said four years ago the things he says today about the kkk, muslims, mexicans, disabled, i would not have accepted his endorsement. romney's likely democratic opponent salt lake county council member jenny wilson responded, so why did you accept it today? >> let's get a check on your weather now with nbc meteorologist bill karins. bill, break out the t-shirts and shorts. i guess we have spring weather in february. >> pretty incredible. record warmth coming up the eastern seaboard. if you want winter, go to the northern plains where it's like windchills are negative and there's snow and ice this morning. so a little bit of everything. the biggest concern for property values and damage is going to be flooding and river flooding. the kankakee river is going to go to record flood stage. that's in northern indiana. already, the rain heavy this morning, even some t

now that trump endorsed romney for senator, romney said anyone want to guess? thank you, mr. president for the support. i hope that over the course of the kaccampaign i earn the supp aend dorsme and endorsement. when mitt gets to the senate he will fit right in. not only, not only, is the president supporting mitt romney on twitter he is putting the full weight of his office into ads for him on television too. >> my fellow americans, i'm donald trump, and i strongly support mitt romney for senate. mitt will fight hard for the people of utah and stand up to me. >> donald trump is a phony. a fraud. he is playing the members of the american public for suckers. >> unlike spineless paul ryan and cowardly mitch mcconnell, mitt romney has the the guts to condemn my disgusting behavior. >> the bullying. the greed. the showing off. the absurd third grade theatrics. >> mitt will expose my lies and empty promises. >> his promises are as worthless as the degree from trump university. >> and point out my frightening mental deficiencies. >> he is very, very not smart. >> don't let me destr

mitt romney is back on the campaign trail. this weekend, bringing charts, and perhaps a little bit of a rusty remote control. >> and the answer -- woops, the answer can be learned a bit by looking at how we spend federal dollars. >> press the button. please change. change slide. there we go. long pause. there we go. now, this is so small you probably can't read it from where you are. isn't it great? i press the button nothing happens, i don't press the button and something does happen. let me turn to the next -- you can turnoff the slides now. >> i really miss covering mitt romney i have to tell you. i promise later tonight we'll go deeper into the actual policy that he discussed and why he didn't contrast with the president as much as you might expect. but for all of you, rick, tyler, i should go to you on this one. it seems as though romney is, in seriousness, represents a return, in part, of a wing of the republican party that's been pretty much silenced. >> yeah, i think that's true. look, i mean, romney is solidly in the

mitt romney reached out to him mitt romney is committed to utah and make a hyper local campaign. that's why as you were pointing out this is all about, as you saw in the ad, that he is a person who is rooted in utah. donald trump the other side. he talks about respective intlactions with people. donald trump maybe unlike orrin hatch and jason chaffetz. donald trump will say i don't want this guy. danel deign i remember ronan back in the 2012 campaign. i can't remember his name. >> rimy. he has been around the block. he nos attacks are going to come from the right and the left. >> kimberly: i think he will do quite well, to be quite honest. is he very statesmanlike and measured. reasonable man standard. you feel self-soothed when you listen to him speak. he is very patriotic american. he has served this country well and admirablably. he was unfairly chastised and criticized when he brought up the emphasis of russia and impact they have had in terms of elections. roundly criticized for it and turned out he was right. i think he is well positioned at this time to take the mantel the

side there was an opening for a conservative critic of trump i don't think at this point mitt romney intends to fill that opening but i think the role could fall upon him if there is increasing criticism of president obama among the conservatives romney didn't single out trump by name but implicitly criticized his immigration policies utah welcomes legal immigrants around the world washington sends immigrants a message of exclusion romney is considered likely to win the senate seat he's well known and respected in utah where he successfully managed a twenty twelve salt lake city olympics he is a leading member of the latter day saints church commonly known as the mormons whose members are a solid majority in heavily republican huge all mormons have never been entirely comfortable with donald trump his values his lifestyle are very alien to the mormon point of view the question now is will romney's self-proclaimed utah all values translate into opposition to trump values robert oulds al-jazeera. well still ahead all the news we travel to the sites of one of the worst massacres that ac

mitt romney represents more of that. >> this is a deeply red state and with romney's popularity, party insiders say it's no surprise no other viable gop candidate has come forward. >> if you are facing a goliath in battle will you pick up the stone and march out in front? it takes a lot of courage to do that. there are some people who may have run that won't based on a mitt romney candidacy. >> and then the tricky relationship the president has with the president. one of his most outspoken critics. should romney win he will be unlike any other freshman senator on capitol hill. >> jon: he will have the name recognition. thank you. >> is there any money in the budget to deal with the proliferation of gun violence? >> i am not aware of that level of detail in the budget for me to be the expert to attest on that. >> in light of what happened yesterday. >> i will say personally i think the gun violence is a tragedy what we've seen yesterday and i would urge congress to look at these issues. >> julie: a tense exchange between congressman john lewis and steve mnuchin yesterday. it comes as th

but let's face it, by the way, mitt romney was right. don't forget, president obama was going after romney saying you can take your 1980 foreign policy act. right? he understood that russia indeed was a threat. how do you think romney is going to do and do you anticipate the president being fully supportive and behind him even though there's this whole russia thing that could perhaps at times be in the way. >> let's talk about it in a big picture and then we'll go to mitt romney if that's okay. my belief is that this president understands that his agenda and the success of his agenda, the things that are making america great again, you know, are on deck when it comes to the november election. and what i mean by that is, we have to win additional seats in the senate and we have to keep the house of representatives. if we do not, the first thing speaker pelosi is going to do is try to impeach this president, try to end this agenda. and so when it goes to supporting candidates like mitt romney, he's doing that across the country in state af

romney is essentially -- i don't want to say a shoo-in but romney is in a very good position for the senate seat in utah. trump doesn't want to deal with him, he doesn't want to deal with the terms of this looks like i'm trying to go their separate ways. >> mike: peaceful coexistence heading into the 2016 midterms. >> until romney goes to washington. then it will be less peaceful. >> mike: "vanity fair" is out with a piecing republican lawmakers are in a bit of a pickle going into 2018. i saw this quote, i want to get a reaction. they say "republican candidates are facing a possible strategic choice. forgo trump red meat and watch the base stay home. what say you? >> in every race in the senate and the house, the question is will republicans let their members do what they need to do to try to save seats. mitch mcconnell gave interviews to "the new york times" that appeared over the weekend and basically said wake up. no matter how good the generic ballot looks, matter what changes, this is the first midterm of a president of our own party and it's going to be rough. the wind is going

i never met mitt romney until tonight, formally. i met him a year and a half ago on july 4 at liberty days in liberty, utah. it is the garden of eden of utah. a beautiful valley. my daughter lives there. we gathered for the weekend for the holidays and i found myself at a rodeo with a bunch of little kids, mutton busting. i enjoyed watching that. we were sitting on the bleachers and something came over the microphone that said where the privilege of having former governor mitt romney was us today but he is here as a grandpa and as dad and we would like to have you respect that and but can enjoy that. so i never said a word to him. i sat about seven feet from him for two hours. i was kind of curious. i love to watch people. i do watch people and i learned a lot. the thing that was interesting to me, as we watched the kids out there chasing chickens and pigs, and the mutton busting. they were running after a pig and there were 50 kids running after this little pig. over the shoulder i keep hearing this voice saying run, pig, run. so l
