abbott first praised the response and said it could have been worse, and then he said he was misled.ht, o'rourke said abbott should have been held responsible for the officers who improperly responded to the shooting. >> i think right now, texans will agree with o'rourke that abbott was a complete failure not just tonight but on the issue of gun violence. but specifically on this, it's not just the massacre in uvalde. it's the massacre in el paso. it's the massive killings that are going on -- in fact, two days ago, two migrants were killed, and greg abbott refuses to do anything about it. during the debate, they showed a 10-year-old girl asking, begging abbott to raise the age limit where people could obtain assault rifles, and he has refused to do so. what i heard tonight on gun violence and on so many other issues, laura was platitudes, platitudes, failure, excuses to do absolutely nothing. and the people of texas are listening, the latino community that has been absolutely hurt, many killed because of abbott's reckless rhetoric and actions, they are going to hold him accountable

abbott, and the republican-controlled legislature.booing] they have totally banned abortion and texas -- in texas. without even an exception for rape and incest. and for women who have complications in their pregnancy. the doctors are telling us, we have to wait for women to start dying before we can intervene and save their lives. any forced pregnancies occurring in a state that has one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the country and in the developed world. so i'm sure you all heard last night when abbott was asked what alternative is there for those who have been sexually assaulted, they cannot get an abortion? baby supplies. [booing] you can't make this shit up. we are going to change what is happening at the legislature. [applause] and because we have been jerry -- because gerrymandering makes it very difficult to change the legislature, we can affect change because the governor of the state of texas has the veto power. so despite despite the legislature we can still make headway here because we can elect the governor w

they talked about governor abbott and job creation.d thing that i heard them mention was immigration. and specifically the things that governor abbott has been doing around the busing of migrants to other states. and suggesting that texas shouldn't have to bear that whole burden, and that is really resonating with republican voters there. at the same time, i have been hearing from democratic voters who are talking about a completely different set of issues. reproductive health and access to abortion, really big issue for a lot of folks. and you also heard particularly that one democratic voter there, talking about immigration as well, and she told me that she feels like the way that governor abbott has handled things here has been incredibly inhmane and it feels personal to her. i also heard democrats talking about the need to protect democracy, so a lot of those types of issues that are on their minds today. and i want to talk a little bit about ft. bend county and why that's such an interesting county to hear from voters in. it's one

i am not making that mistake with abbott. the lights went out in texas because of greg abbott.because of greg abbott. highest property tax increase be have probably seen in the state, that is greg abbott. the single greatest driver of inflation in texas, greg abbott. gun violence in our schools, greg abbott. so you name a problem, this guy has been in office for eight years, he owns it. and i will make sure that every texas voter, democrat, independent, republican alike know that. and understand that they have a choice and an alternative, and better path forward in november. >> immigration? the national news is talking about what governor desantis, and governor abbott have been doing together in tandem shipping migrants, asylum seekers, two points north, in many cases not being truthful with them about where they are going and what awaits them. is that galvanizing texas voters? busing is something that is happening here in the state. this is a different kind of busing. does it strike the ire of texas voters the same way that it does other voters in the rest of the country? >> a

>> governor abbott: very different than in other states.on issue, the recent polling that showed i think in that same poll that you made reference to, it showed who do you choose most on the abortion issue? either, among women. and so this is an issue where in texas, texas is a pro-life estate. >> laura: what is going to happen? other republicans are kind of running away from it. you are not. >> governor abbott: very importantly, what everyone in the state now knows because we have exposed mental illness issue, beto is in favor of just abortion but abortion of a child at the very last second before it fully developed child is born, even against providing medical care for a baby who survives an abortion. that is horrible. >> laura: so he is the radical on the issue? >> governor abbott: beto is the extremist. >> laura: on the issue of yesterday and what is happening to the equity agenda for corporate america and how the energy industry which is so critical and vital to this state is under she's. make a lot of money because the quantity of oil

absolutely. >> greg abbott is so bad -- >> and how bad is he?> that texas voters are considering doing the unthinkable, electing beto o'rourke. oh. >> it's fine. he's hot. now on the campaign trail, when you weren't talking about your number one issue, what you put in your morning smoothie, you were talking about crime. bloomberg reports that misdemeanor arrests in new york city jumped 25% in the first six months of mayor eric adams' administration. these are small crimes like subway fare evasion and sleeping on a park bench. but these arrests do let concerned new yorkers know how mayor adams will not tolerate being poor in this city. can you promise that by the end of your term, every new yorker will be rich or in jail? >> every new yorker will feel safe. misdemeanor arrests, those are the quality of life issues. we lost almost $500 million on those jumping turnstiles. no enforcement. they start out as misdemeanor arrests. they enter the system, then they commit felonies. that's what history has shown us. >> now in one notable police incident,

and ted cruz is not greg abbott.blicans, this is generally not that popular, whereas greg abbott is. beyond, that to your question, alex, there is movement, but it is incremental. it's not, like, oh, texas is turning blue in 2022, or 2024. but let me give you historical context. in 2000, 22 years ago, democrat only got 38% of the vote. right? so what we were seeing was laguardia got 38%. fast forward to 2020, two decades later, we are not seeing a blue texas but we are seeing a texas where 46.5% of texans voted for joe biden. so we have seen a gap closing within single digits, and i think that for democrats understanding very much the texas is a long game for them. >> yeah i want to switch gears here, michael, and get your thoughts on donald trump's latest attack on senator leader mitch mcconnell's writing on truth social. in, part is mcconnell approving all these tones of dollars worth of democrat sponsored bills without even the slightest bit of negotiation, because he hates donald j trump and knows i am strongly o

all the focus on abbott.you want to make this a republican democrat thing, which some of these like adams has in the past like bouser in dc and majority being shipped by democrats. rachel: pointing to other numbers i thought was really interesting. just in the last few days on october 6, just one day, 355 unaccompanied minors were encountered at our border. think about the federal resources needed to deal with 400 in one day, 350 in one day. i mean, this is a massive cost, it's not just the city of new york. this is being paid by all of us, not to mention the suffering and some of the other things that are happening to these children as they cross, but it is a very costly proposition to open your border and know you're incentivizing children to come alone at that scale and what happens as they move through our system and how many of our kids, founders ere kids, kids in need aren't going to get help because we're dealing with this stuff? pete: you heard it from homeless groups in new york city saying what abou

and mayor adams is continuing to get the buses from texas governor greg abbott because abbott's borderowns like eagle pass where i am in the del rio sector are continuing to be overwhelmed in an unprecedented way. neil, in the one week i've been here, there's been more than 10,700 migrant encounters. in the last 24 hours, there was 1,583. now, yesterday governor abbott was touting what his texas dps operation lone star has been doing, here is a bit of what to give you a sense of. he says since it began last year in april, operation lone star had 311,000 apprehensions and busing more than 12,000 migrants to cities just like new york, dc, and chicago. and he says there's been 20,500 criminal arrests of which 18,000 were felonies. now, they also on the drug front because remember, the deadly fentanyl seizures, which is off the charts, is part of this. he says they've seized some 337 million lethal doses of it. we spent the week with texas dps troopers and one of them says there's no end in sight until something changes. take a listen to what she said. >> until something changes from a fed

greg abbott has done nothing to stop the next shooting. no laws pounced, nothing to keep kids safe in schools. i am voting beto for might. >> she says i'm voting beta for monte. hearing that line, congressman, it made me wonder is uvalde for your run for governor what charlottesville was for joe biden in his run for president? the motivating factor? >> jonathan, the fact that it has been nearly 19 weeks since those 19 children, including my to, was taken from us. there are two teachers who heroically were willing to sacrifice themselves to try to save the lives of those children when they had already done so much for them. nearly 19 weeks and not think thing has been done for greg abbott to make it any less likely than any other child in the state will meet that same fate. we have not raise the age of purchase for an ar-15. we do not have a red flag law. we don't even have universal background checks in the state of texas. four on a, might ismail and every other parent or any other person in uvalde, really every child in every classroom ac

ballot here in the county, beto o'rourke beat ted cruz by about 12 points here and governor greg abbott narrowly won the governorship by less than 500 votes in this country. so this is a county that was once red but has been trending blue over the past several years. but what is interesting here today as we've been talking to voters, it feels like a bit more of a toss-up. everyone here who has talked about the economy as their number one issue in this election has told me that they're supporting the current governor, greg abbott. they've mentioned things like the border as being an issue and also what's going on in schools and they feel like governor greg abbott is the better candidate for them. as for what i'm hearing from the folks who are supporting beto o'rourke, we're hearing about abortion issues and access to abortion, lgbtq issues as being a priority, and something that i've heard from supporters on both sides is that they just want a candidate who aligns with their values and their beliefs and the direction that they feel like the state should be heading. and i want to play a l

there is a reason why abbott only agreed to one debate.hy he did not want an audience there. it is because texans will see very clearly when they look at that debate stage. they see what is at stake. there are folks in the center like myself and many others. we are from a passive texas. it is a city of immigrants. it is also grand zero for some of these incredibly terrible and cruel policies. it shocks the conscience to think about families. they're traveling thousands of miles for security, opportunity, for whatever reason they're coming to the united states. they are welcomed by abbott. they are put on the bus for the stand. it is cruel, unusual, a terrible thing. i think they should lean into that. they should capitalize on it. that is along with other issues. abortion will be a critical issue. they oppose that in all its forms with no exceptions. a pass rating from the nra. it's a portal all and allows 18-year-old without any training to walk around with guns in public. after uvalde, after the massacre in el paso. i do think that beto

go >>tt joining us now, texas governor greg abbott himself. thanks.s a big shift. >> i mean, that's a that's a double digit shift for you. what's happening? why is it hispanics coming tos the republican party? >> two things.co r one is wepe constantly reach oue to the hispanic community. no governor has gone down to the rio grande valley more than i have. we're constantly reaching ou art and connecting with hispanic community. and like your other guest tonight,y r other policies the policies that i'm running on are the policies that the hispanic communit yieve i supports. they believe in hard work entrepreneurs, and hence and they want a state that createsng habs and a strong economy as we gather here tonight, texas hass the fastest growing economfay of any state in the united states . >> also also texas, since thesen folks reelected me, texaces, is that a far more new jobs than any other state inmerica america? texas is the place for economic opportunity, but at the same time, hispanics, whether you'rer on the border or in houston,de texas, or north

compare that to what governor greg abbott has been doing in texas. only sent to new york city about 3300 migrant and 1000 to the city of chicago. governor abbott's numbers are a small fraction what el paso has been doing. it's been governor abbott taking the criticism. el paso hasn't had that. the federal government is reimbursing the city of el paso for their migrant busing and housing costs. that mean it's we the taxpayer doing it. that daily cost is pushing upwards of $300,000 every single day for the city of el paso. >> dana: all right. thank you. >> bill: meanwhile, another death on new york city runway. a man fell in queens yesterday. witnesses say it happened during a scuffle. remember on saturday, police arrested an 18-year-old in the deadly shooting of 15-year-old jay john burnett. that happened on a train last week. earlier this month, a 43-year-old father of three, he was stabbed on a train in brooklyn. homeless man has been arrested. alexis mcadams is with us now. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. it's unbelievable all of this crim

so is governor abbott. off across from the president trump's residence in dc. that was governor abbott. now, this came up. governor abbott is running against beto o'rourke. this came up. abbott saying, i'm trying to make texas safer. >> what we're doing is making sure we're keeping our community safe. this is completely different than the way things would be under beto because he said months ago there's no problem o the border. >> i mean the governor spent $4 billion of our tax dollars that turned out to be political theater for his career. he promised it would deter people from coming into the country. >> what matters most is five days from tomorrow. i suspect there will be an issue. democrats are arguing how about a solution? where's your compassion, republicans? this has favored republicans. i guess we find out in five weeks if it still does. >> i believe if you have coerced or migs led people, it's a violation of federal law. the other thing i think is it's an ongoing debate between state and the federa

but texas and the governor, governor abbott, is just using them as props.l, and republicans have even stop simple bills like dhaka, where there is an entire country can favor of legalizing these kids who were born or raised here, republicans have been stopping the immigration debate, the immigration movement, so they can continue to weaponize immigration as a way to get their base to the votes, to the voting polls. >> lin-manuel, your currently writing the music for the live action little mermaid movie, set to be released next year. you said the original was the movie that made you fall in love with musicals. could you explain that? and also, what's your response to the backlash we've seen over aerial being played by a black actress? >> yeah, i saw little mermaid when i was nine years old. i went on a play date with a friend . i could not believe when under the sea began that i was watching a musical number underwater. it's probably responsible for me writing musicals as anything else. i remember feeling a weakness when i watched that film for the first tim

abbott says cities in texas can't handle the influx. what's the solution? to use humans as political props is heinous isn't the word. horrifying isn't the word. it i think we do need to talk about immigration and a national level and a state level and finding humane solutions to this. >> and let me tell you, in new york we are a sanctuary city. i have been the port authority terminal welcoming venezuelans who are leaving their country to come to the united states but texas and the governor, governor abbott, is using them as props. if we can work at the national level and republicans have even, stop simple bills like daca, where there is an entire country in favor of legalizing these kids who were born and raised here, republicans have been stopping the immigration debate, the immigration movement so that they can continue to weaponize immigration as a way to get their base to the votes, to the voting polls. >> lin-manuel you're currently writing the music for the new little mermaid film so they recognize what major fall in love with the movie. what's your r

and compounding this is the fact that the governors in at least definitely in texas, governor abbott,ew york city the social service agencies or the non-profits helping migrants, they might not know on any given day in three buses will be arriving, if ten buses will be arriving or no pbuses will be arriving. that's a deliberate move on the behalf of governor abbott to throw a wrench into new york city's preparedness. and that's a very unfortunate thing. >> you are in new york. you are a witness to the kinds of measures that are being taken to help accommodate the now 17,000 new asylum seekers offer of shelter, there is even this collaboration being discussed with hotels, et cetera. we have seen pictures of how, you know, huge tents are being set up to help process and at least temporarily house a lot of people. but i wonder if you could help paint the picture of what are the legal needs that many of these individuals need? i mean, there was already the existing need, but now with the influx, how is the legal system able to help accommodate these many new migrants to new york city? >>

yet greg abbott doesn't even take back call for any accountability.teve growl, director of gps, reports to greg abbott, and he has done nothing to ask for accountability. i hope that the spending of those police was just a first step, and hopefully our governor, or our new governor will take the right actions after november 8th to make sure that we can get rid of these people, that were responsible for their inaction. >> accountability can happen in this country, it's called election day. state senator rolling gutierrez, thanks for joining us tonight. >> when we come, back i've got some very good news about a possible cancer vaccine on the horizon, when the 11th hour continues. th hou continues. vo: it's a new day. because covid vaccines just got a big update. just in time for everyone who works. with other people. just in time for... ...more togetherness. just in time to say “oh, you bet we'll be there!” because the updated vaccines can now protect against both the original covid virus and omicron. and that's a moment... we've all been waiting for. ♪

, abbott has bussed about 3,000 there.t the migrant camp on the east river. >> we have had a small turnout so far here on what you would call opening day. still the massive migrant relief center has opened its door and is prepared to welcome hundreds of migrants who have made that journey from the southern border here to the big apple, and we have photos and videos to show you, we have seen two migrants arrive on van so far and we know many more are still coming. asylum seekers will get cots when they arrive, food, shelter and services. some call it a tent city, they have one main tent which has 449 cots. the city had to move those tents from the bronx to this location due to flooding costing the city over $600,000. the 84,000 square foot facility has a lot to offer, which the city emergency management commissioner has called a short-term solution for people to figure out what their next destination will be. some amenities include covid tests on arrival, a rec room, couches, tvs, xboxes and board games and phone bank to ca
