Most of your senior officers are products of the clinton, bush, obama area. they have a lot invested in this. remember, that the people who live in the seven zip codes in and around washington, d.c. have all become millionaires as a result of their investment in these failed operations. tucker: that s not a talking point. that s literally true. yes, of course. you put the two together, you have a lot of resistance to ending something that s profitable for them. it hasn t been profitable for the american people. it s been a disaster. trillions of dollars in debt in the last 17 years. thousands of people killed and wounded and for what in the answer is not much. tucker: it just seems like if you are looking for a crisis, constitutional crisis or something that would undermine democracy as we practiced for 240 years, it s the idea of unelected, the unelected subverting the power of the elected, right? isn t that democratic by definition. supported by many of the elected to support
Wasn t true. it s perfectly clear that romney doesn t take issue with trump on policy. no, his focus is on trump personality and approach. to the good people of utah, some of who will cheer these romney comments, his job is to represent the state of utah, not himself. this is not a good look for an incoming senator. in fact, this is selfish. it does not help the state of utah or solve a problem. it only creates one. but now we have a different, newly minted senator joining us. the one from indiana, mr. mike brown is here. congratulations, sir, and becoming the next senator from indiana. a big move. you are coming into washington, d.c., you see what is going on with mitt romney. in the midst of a government shutdown. as is the picture you thought it would be when you were coming and got elected? when you stick your neck out to do something like this you never know what is going to eventuate. i did it back in 2017 and i
I represented the people of the great state of utah. i want romney and trump to succeedsuccess. succeed. romney readily accepted trump s endorsement when he was runningn for the senate, even after calling trump a phony and a fraud back in 2016. nothing changed. trump is still the same person he was back in 2016. part of what i actually likes about president trump. romney rode that trump train all the way to washington.ll in an october debate when he was asked about his past trump attacks, romney said this. i m not going to characterize specifically my comment in the regard of the past. i m going to talk about the future, where we are going, what he has done positively in my view. he is doing a number of things that i agree with and frankly, not a lot that i disagree with. jason: well, i guess that wasn t true. it s perfectly clear that romney
Trump is a divisive leader. that s true, of course. beneath the personal slice romney has a policy critique of trump. he seems generally angry that trump might pull troops out of the syrian civil war. romney doesn t explain how staying in syria would benefit america. he doesn t consider that a relevant question. more policing in the middle east is always better. we know that. virtually everyone in washington agrees. corporate tax cuts are also popular in washington and romney is strongly on board with those, two. his piece throw as rare compliment to trump for cutting the corporate rate a year ago. that s not surprising romney spent the bulk of his business career at a firm called bain capitol. it invented what is a familiar business strategy taking over existing company short pert period of time. cut costs by cutting employees, debt and move on. he became fantastically rich while doing.
Is he taking direct shots at the president. why? because he is a sell-out. is he a fraud. he is a phony. he is a fake. this is the kind of guy who is absolutely disseminated the republican party. you know, brian, when there is a museum left to the remnant of the swamp g.o.p. and we re all walking through this museum in 20 or 30 years when there used to be the gop. exhibit 1 will be mitt romney followed closely by jeff flake. you know, jeff flake had to pass the baton of g.o.p. sell-outs. the race isn t even over yet. romney doesn t even swear in, i believe, until thursday. they couldn t even wait to pass the baton. what s even more disgraceful about this romney op-ed, and, listen, i spoke positively about mitt romney for a very long time. he we ran in the same election cycle. this is a disgusting move. this is the same guy who went up to bedminster, donald trump gave him a chance even after romney shah lacked him,
