showing beto o'rourke in a rock band is fair game, then this is fair game.urse, there's more. that's thing two. >>> so senator ted cruz and his challenger beto o'rourke in the midst some of scuffling. and ted cruz seems to think the picture of him in a rock band would hurt him. what about that ted cruz basketball archive? when he was running for president, he told a crowd of hoosiers an inspirational tale about the basketball ring. >> you know, the amazing thing is, that basketball ring here in indiana, it is the same height as it is in new york city and every other place in this country. and there is nothing that hoosiers cannot do. >> what are you talking about? there are things ted cruz cannot do. as an actual basketball player is so conspicuous that even ted cruz has posted a video of himself badly playing basketball. which brings us to the other viral sensation. when they decided to do something with that video. while beto o'rourke is going viral, senator ted cruz has gone viral with this. ♪ ♪ i just find my tempo ♪ with my left hand jump me jump me jum

beto o'from twitter of rourke responding to a question about kneeling at nfl protests.video clip] >> a tough issue if we don't talk about it is not going to get better and the question is how do you feel about nfl players who take a knee during the national anthem and is it disrespectful to this flag and the country and service members here tonight in afghanistan and former service members here with us today. thank you each for your service. my short answer is no, i don't think it is disrespectful. [applause] trying to make sure i get this right because i think it is a very important question and reasonable people can disagree on this issue. let's begin and it makes them no less american to come down on a different conclusion on this issue, right? as i do or as a young man does and you are every bit as american. someone mentioned reading the taylor branch book, "parting waters in the key years." when you read that book and find out what dr. king and this nonviolent peaceful movement to secure veterans -- because they did not -- they did not get full , civil rights for t

>> ted cruz doesn't want to be a few points ahead of beto o'rourke. democrats are just excited about this person. they don't have a leader in their party and they're looking for him to be the next barack obama. if he turn texas blue, he could rock to the top of the list. it's a huge challenge to win this seat and beat ted cruz. he's not doing well enough with latino voters that are part of the -- many of them are supporting ted cruz as hillary clinton did in that state. so that would be your number 1 demographic that you'd have to turn to your side in order to win a statewide seat as a democrat in texas. that said, nationally there's incredible excitement behind him. we'll see if he can close the gap in september and october. it's going to be very difficult. >> dana: a.b. stoddard, thanks for joining us. >> thank you. >> dana: ohio state is suspending their football coach. and the president taking aim at a tv network that says they will not broadcast the anthem before nfl games. we'll have more on those topics. olay deep hydrating eye gel breaks throu

i think beto is seeing a lot of momentum on this. he's polling closely.draising is coming in, a lot of it from out of state as well, as democrats look to this as a hot race. >> and what's your sense, rachel? is ted cruz scared? should he be? >> if he is, he probably shouldn't be. this is texas. but this is a sign of the blue wave coming. it's not just ted cruz who's experiencing this. there's a bunch of house freedom caucus members, hard core conservatives, who are in safe seats, or used to be safe seat, and are now having to run a real race. he'll have to be careful, but it's texas. cruz will be fine. >> that's the thing. i feel like this is the white whale, lucy and the football. but we'll see. maybe this year will be different. we're waiting for the white house briefing to begin. wolf blitzer is going to bring that to you live when it happens. he picks up on our coverage right now. >>> hello. i'm wolf blitzer. it's 1:00 p.m. here in washington. wherever you're watching from around the world, thanks very much for joining us. any moment, the white house

thought it was striking, i think last week, when an incumbent sitting senator ted cruz challenges beto'roarke to five debates. that's crazy, an incumbent wants to debate, that speaks to his sense of waeshgness at this position. beto o'roarke is running an interesting and compelling campaign, the small dollar donations he's generated and keeping up financially with senator cruz and running on kitchen table issues, whether it's insuring affordable healthcare, whether it's ensuring that they are able to have a winning wage. >> dana: he's been doing it in a different way, facebook live. collin, the last word, the democrats have had this dream of flipping texas blue. are their dreams to be dashed again this year? >> yes. texas isle into's gold for the democrats. cycle after -- texas is fool's gold. they want to make it competitive, they never do, the republican usually wins, i'm confident that will happen as well in the state of texas. >> dana: we'll make you buy is a drink if it's not true. thank you. >> thank you. >> dana: one group making a major push for a member of the national guard r

beto o'rourke challenging the ted cruz in texas. said texas is fool's gold for democrats.om senator ted cruz telling the houston chronicle i would certainly welcome president trump's support and i hope to see anymore texas. i think we are likely to seat president down in texas before the election. no doubt that would be one -- a rally for one for the record books, matt, if the president does go down there. does senator cruz need him to go? >> you know, of the way i look at it is this, dana. every republican, especially running in these big trump states, they want the president to come. and, the other thing about texas you know, texas is one of the most important money raising states for republican and conservative coffers. so i think the president going to texas makes sense for a lot of reasons. i would throf see the photo of ted cruz and donald trump arm in arm. it's what the party needs. i'm going to like it. >> dana: all right. adrienne. what about you? do you think texas is fool's gold for texas or are you getting closer? >> one of the reasons why beto o'rourke is clos

>> so let's cover it from the beto o'rourke point of view. first of all, it's an insult. what they didn't talk about was the references he made to blacks and the oppression that blacks faced many, many years ago. decades ago at the hands of his own party, the democrats. oh, by the way, what o'rourke also failed to mention is that all the things he's talking about with the reason why blacks are kneeling in the nfl has to do with what? the so-called lack of civil rights by police in big cities who are run by democrats throughout the entire political process. so what's interesting is that this is a problem for democrats from the past and it's a problem for democrats right now that's been created by democrats. so he wants to talk about the kneelers, if these guys really believed in kneeling, why didn't colin kaepernick kneel during the barack obama administration? it was happening then. when did colin kaepernick help any black in any city, what has he done prior to the kneeling to help any of the blacks are being killed in crazy numbers every weekend? it's a disingenuous move

was a true leftist, he doesn't want to be associated with a joe manchin or a claire mccaskill or a betoes have to appeal to those red state kind of voters because then he has to be endorsing some of their ideas and their ideas are anathema to barack obama, who is now free of any kind of electoral burdens. he is a leftist and now he is going to be a leftist. he's a leftist, he always has been. >> shannon: he's embracing it. larry and leslie, so many other juicy nuggets we could discuss. we are out of time. please come back. good to see you both. >> you back. >> shannon: the aclu sues the trump administration, accusing them of violating the constitutional rights of adults who cross into the u.s. illegally and are now being detained. up next, the g.o.p. congressman who just visited one center housing children. not subject to the lawsuit. the california republican jeff denham of california tells us exactly what he saw. plus, three democratic governors threatened or turned on federal dollars if the trump administration sticks to a pledge to no longer allow your tax dollars to go to clinics p

republican incumbent ted cruz finds himself in a close race with democratic challenger congressman beto the race is shaping up to be the most expensive in the country and o'rourke is outraising cruz at the moment. the polls say that it's within one point. some of them have a slightly larger spread than that today in a clear sign this is a tight race a story broke about a previously known 1998 dwi arrest for o'rourke now claiming that he had attempted to flee the seen also at the time. he issued this statement today i drove drunk and was arrested for a dwi in 1998. as i have publicly discussed over the last 20 years i made a serious mistake for which there is no excuse. this, as senator cruz is getting a long awaited boost from president trump that man who once lovingly referred to him as lyin' ted, do you remember that with this tweet the president says i will be doing a major rally for senator ted cruz in october. i'm picking the biggest stadium in texas we can find. as you know ted has my complete and total endorsement. don't you love politics, chris stirewalt joins me now fox news po

interesting race going on right now, ted cruz is facing for a really quite powerful challenger in betorke who has out raised him in terms of money, which is really surprising, and is within the margin of error right now in terms of the polling. he's a democrat. he's from el paso. we haven't elected a democrat statewide office in more than 20 years, and we've never elected anybody from el paso. i don't know why that is. but he's a very appealing candidate and quite talented. it's the kind of candidate we need more of in both parties who are willing to speak to the center, which feels so hollowed out right now. >> what do you make of the latest study that came out that basically scientifically showed some of what i was talking about, that it's a bit of a white lash, this election of donald trump, which is what van jones, political commentator said on cnn the night of the election. but they're seeing it wasn't actually about a fear of losing jobs or being unemployed or economic, you know -- it was mostly white christian america didn't want things to change. >> it's true. throughout americ

beto o'rourke is up against two ted cruz, a formidable republican on the national stage. stage. mississippi is something of a wildcard. they have options. i think nevada, arizona, and tennessee are the best paths that they can hold democratic seats. susan: alexander, what can you add? alexander: i agree with that. i think dean heller in nevada is considered the most likely democratic pickup. after that, i think arizona is seen as the next strongest pickup. the key factor in those two states is they are a large hispanic population. of course president trump has run a very divisive public campaign against illegal immigration. democrats feel that this helps them a lot with hispanic voters. those are states with large hispanic populations. we will see if that is the case. that would be something i wanted to hear from mr. van hollen about. will trump hurt republicans in the states? that is one of the most interesting questions. susan: what role will super pac's play this year? nicholas: [laughs] a large one. there will be a ton of money flooding in competitive states all over the cou

. >> let's talk about beto himself for a second.rofile of him in "vanity fair" which suggests even if he loses the senate race, democrats want him to run for president. that he's drawing the kinds of crowds that we missed in the run-up to president trump. >> that video clip of him at that campaign event talking about the nfl protest issue gave a very compelling sort of thoughtful and fairly authentic answer. >> he essentially said i cannot think of anything more american. >> exactly. that's been viewed millions and millions of times on youtube. he's somebody who is breaking through, who's resonating beyond the borders of texas. certainly it helps if he wins this senate race, it's difficult to run for president without any sort of elected office or platform. but if he were to beat ted cruz, trump better watch out because this is a democratic party without any single heir apparent. there's not a particular leader who's catching fire right now. i think the base in the democratic party is so hungry for somebody. >> they're looking for d

this is supposed to beto factua. they are supposed to have facts.y attributed everything in that bit, if you are the application, what has been released, they say, this absolute fact. we know carter page is a spy. he is working with the russians. we know this, we know that -- >> sean: why wasn't he arrested? >> that's right. why wasn't he arrested? one more quick point. they left out all the information on bruce ohr out of that application. they did not inform this court of what was going on. and that is the biggest problem here. >> sean: so russian lies -- want to go into all of us. there is so much to unpeel here. you have the fisa court lied to them, multiple levels, there is a fraud committed to the courts, then you've got strzok and page and of course, comey, write thed exoneration, but you got them saying we are going to stop c tm and we will have an insurance policy then you have glenn simpson in here and now he wants to throw a hail marynd with, again, unverified steele owdossier. steele -- he doesn't even stand by his own dossier when under

endorse democratic socialist alexandria ocasio-cortez.r he new york governor andrew cuomo,, or even betoe, ted cruz's challenger in texas. it did not help hillary clinton get elected but will that help democrats in the midterms? they miss him a lot. joining me now for answers, fox news contributor, former g.o.p. presidential candidate himself, herman cain. okay, herman, president obama is a rock star for democrats. they love him. you see these bumper stickers, "i miss barack," it's kind of sad.. he seems to be having fun in retirement. he's wading back in. will this make a difference? >> no. that's because president -- former president obama is a lightweight. he presided over the nation.re president donald trump is a heavy weight. he's leading the nation. that is the difference. if you compare the results side-by-side, even though president trump isn't even two years into his leadership yet, r the results are startling. so former president obama's endorsement won't mean a thing in my opinion. now the list of people use that -- that you said he endorsed, the democrats, and the ones he lef

. >> but nick, what if beto o'rourke is elected senator from texas. joe mccarthy said some pretty awful things. a tremendous number of americans followed him in the 1950s. people stuck with nixon until very close to the bitter end, including most of the republican party. they stuck with him through all kinds of revelations about his being a crook. so we do have an ability to regenerate in this country. >> i take your point, but aren't we living in a slightly different time with twitter and donald trump saying that everybody saying bad about donald trump is an anti-trumper and not to be listened to and donald trump has at his disposal, he has fox news to parrot everything he says and to lift him up. i mean nixon didn't have that. >> but to answer your question -- >> mccarthy didn't have that. >> to answer your question before, you went to his behavior, which has been disgusting. it's that of a spoiled brat. it's when things like his tariff war with china start hitting those people -- >> what about his moral character? >> he has no moral character. to m

. >> beto o'rourke's campaign say we thumb our nose at the no corporate money, no pac money.. >> i would also suggest that even though i try to get outside the beltway as much as possible, we are all creatures of that here to some extent and i think we're a little dulled by it. >> we're numb. we know all these people that get rich off the system. >> and donald trump is not -- he could have easily said a few words of shock and outrage of his own. >> if you're a democratic challenger, you don't have to mention trump. just say i am going there to clean it up. why is there not legislation. you could run a nonpartisan outsider campaign as a democratic challenger that i think would be pretty effective. >> we've gone more than 24 hours since chris collins was arrested by the fbi, his first congressional endorser and he's tweeted nothing. >> a rare show of restraint on the part of this president. >> maybe the pardon papers are getting drawn up, i don't know. >> i think that's probably the best thing for him to do at this point, but it does make it surprising. >> it's -- >> well, and

that was beto o'rourke running against ted cruz.a question about whether players taking a knee during the anthem was disrespectful. lebron james called it a much-watch. i agree. it looks like cruz should watch out. a brand new poll has o'rourke behind pie only four points. i want to hit pause on the poll and i just want to ask you, every time i see somebody like that, and i'm glad that lebron was in there too, there's such a vacuum of moral clarity. why was that answer hard for republicans? why do we treat patriotism like it's so fragile that black players can't protest what is undeniably true, that black men face more danger, unarmed black men get killed by cops all the time in this country. >> because patriotism far too much on the right has become a matter of symbols and totems and forms and anthems and not the exercise of freedom. it's funny when you talk to republicans, the word that's always on their lips is freedom. freedom to dissent, freedom to build businesses, the freedom to speak your mind. and yet you see these football

the poll has the incumbent republican senator up by just four points on his democratic challenger, betoed democrats and sits at 45%, cruz sits at 49%. cruz can't write off this small lead as the product of a democratic outlier poll or something because the other numbers in this poll are much better for the gop. our poll has president trump with a 47% job rating net positive, by the way. republicans have a 7-point lead on the generic congressional ballot in the state of texas and the republican governor, greg abbott, has a 19-point lead in his re-election bid. so the lone sore spot for republicans in the lone star state is mr. cruz. so with less than three months of the campaign left against a well funded and energetic opponent, this may be a warning sign cruz can't let pass by. we'll have more "mtp daily" right after this. i couldn't catch my breath. it was the last song of the night. it felt like my heart was skipping beats. they said i had afib. what's afib? i knew that meant i was at a greater risk of stroke. i needed answers. my doctor and i chose xarelto® to help keep me protected

that's where beto o'rourke, who is a charismatic house member running against ted cruz, and the race. all i would say, all i would tell you. late august is going to look very different than late september. partisans are going to come home to roost in both parties are looking at a little full gold out there. whether it's new jersey or texas come i don't know. >> shannon: a lot of undecideds. everyone is coming back. thank you. new information as we track hurricane lanes path approaching hawaii. he thought the left didn't like donald trump. now it's a vice president "extreme niceness" that has them up in arms. ahoy-hoy. alexander graham bell here... no, no, my number is one, you must want two! two, i say!! like my father before...

guest: what i'm taking from this is ted cruz is challenging beto o'rourke to a debate, he is asking donaldrump to campaign for him. state.s a deep red we have not elected a timid credit in 20 years. i was in beaumont, texas friday night and there was a phone bank . that is the only kind of energy that is going to make this work. polls look good right now. to be as close as it is is good. this is a winnable race. isst: what that tells me enough people think this is competitive they are sinking am a whichpolling it is unprecedented in a texas election now. caller, you are on with our guests. caller: good morning. thank you for taking my call. thent to say that environment should be the key reason why we should let people know that if we do not keep up with our environment, we won't our anything to give children. i think it is very important people understand that. guest: great point. with we talked indivisible groups the environment is something that comes up again and again. donald trump decided to withdraw from the paris climate accord in response to that indivisible put out a guide to how

but it backfires as one user asked sarcastically your strategy is to make beto o'rourke look cool?" will come right back. t back i was just finishing a ride. i felt this awful pain in my chest. i had a pe blood clot in my lung. i was scared. i had a dvt blood clot. having one really puts you in danger of having another. my doctor and i chose xarelto®. xarelto®. to help keep me protected. xarelto® is a latest-generation blood thinner that's... proven to treat and reduce the risk of dvt or pe blood clots from happening again. in clinical studies, almost 98% of patients on xarelto® did not experience another dvt or pe. xarelto® works differently. warfarin interferes with at least 6 of your body's natural blood-clotting factors. xarelto® is selective, targeting just one critical factor. don't stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor, as this may increase risk of blood clots. while taking, you may bruise more easily, or take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. it may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain med
