people haven't had a chance to your castro.here were some good policy plans with some other candidates but i don't think it will do very well for them because they were talking about everything being for free but you had other candidates that were able to talk about their record and how we need to have more realistic ideals but not sure if the democratic party what they want to you right now. >> there was a 24,000 spiking searches on google for julian castro's name last night so obviously did well if you take that into account. the biggest loser, you mentioned beto o'rourke? >> if you get off a debate stage and the only thing people are remembering is you breaking out in spanish out of nowhere, we can write that off, he certainly lost, embarrassed everyone in the state of texas and it is good to come out talking and speaking in spanish but not one of them with the exception of cory booker talked about specific african-american issues and that is important to me so they better start talking black a little bit as well and hopeful

castro and beto o'rourke sparring over immigration and the border crisis. castro wants to decriminalize crossing the border and make it a civil offense instead of a crime. that's a position o'rourke opposes. >> do we not build sfwhals do we not put kids in cages? in fact, we would spare no offense to reunite a lot of these who have been separated. do not criminally prosecute any familiar whether i because of violence. >> you would make some of this on this stage have called to end that section, to terminate it. some, like congressman o'rourke, have not, and i want to challenge all of the candidates to do that. i just think it's a mistake. >> you're looking at just one small part of this. i'm talking about a comprehensive rewrite of our immigration laws. >> that's not true. >> if we do that -- >> we're talking about millions of folks. a lot of folks that are coming are not seeking asylum. a lot of them are undocumented immigrants. you said recently that the reason you didn't want to repeal section 1325 was because you were concerned about human trafficking a

you have warren, booker, castro. making the best use of their time on the stage. >> we were hearing that beto o'rourke was nervous before this forum. i think he was outshone by people, like cory booker, elizabeth warren and castro. some took the opportunity to go after beto. and i don't know how hi defended himself. elizabeth warren was so well able to explain her economic stance and her medicare -- health care stance, as well. and bill de blasio, even though he didn't have as much time to speak. he was able to edge his way into the conversation. john delaney struggled to do that. castro's bit on immigration was powerful. and amy klobuchar. she's had a series of one-liners. she responded to jay inslee and his stance on reproductive rights. and she said, there are three women on this stage. one person that was lost in the conversation, was tulsi gabert. bill de blasio was able to edge his way in. sh she had a notable exchange with tim ryan over afghanistan. circling back to beto o'rourke, this was something he needed

educating who is julian castro. you gave him a b minus, this is the moment where he really stood out. let's play it. >> watching that image of the father and daughter is heart breaking. it should also piss us all off. >> why did that really rezen ate with you? >> because he was speaking like a real person. one of the reasons donald trump is popular, is because he speaks like the rest of us do. and often times these political candidates and sometimes last night even people like amy klobuchar said things that seemed canned or not really coming from her, yet last night when we heard castro say that, we knew that that's how he meant it, that's what he meant to say. and that's what people like about trump, and i think that's the attitude you need to have in the debate. be yourself, even if it means you have to say something like that. >> there were some contentious exchanges. do you think trump has changed the way we view debates? do you think americans are expecting or wanting it? >> yes. i mean, it's a yes and no sort

i think castro was so interesting tonight.ou heard it a bit there with chris, in that his message tonight, sort of, i think, aligns with where the political world has come to in this moment. immigration is one of the major points that castro is stressing. he tried to separate himself from the rest of the film. being from texas, a border state and all that comes with that. what you saw in that debate tonight, is a message that matches where the democratic party is in this moment. and somebody, i think this is critical, when you have ten candidates on stage like this, somebody who is capable of delivering that message. castro and cory booker are interesting to me because they are two candidates who, early in their political careers, were marked as people with national potential, potentially. national political potential. in 2012, who did barack obama choose as the keynote speaker at the convention who renominated him? it was castro. he's had that potential. i'm interested to see what happens with him. and cory booker, you had hi

-- >> yeah. >> so far the only person who said the word trans is castro. and then de blasio, you know, sometimes new york just cuts through. >> reporter: debate about health care, climate change and immigration got the biggest reactions from this crowd. a warren supporter says julian castro's approach to immigration has her interested. >> he understands the issues. he was willing to talk about the issues at our border in a way that i think the other candidates were not. >> reporter: a senator cory booker supporter found himself impressed with warren. >> elizabeth warren, when she speaks she has her mind made up. and i like the fact that she doesn't beat around the bush. she speaks on it. and i think we'll get some good things done with her. >> reporter: voters in this room say they are in lisandhey are l not attacks. jean elle, nbc bay area news. >> thanks, jean. while locally a lot of people getting together tonight to watch this debate, at a watch party at the democratic party headquarters in santa clara county it's actually located in san jose, viewers

very self-serving for julian castro answer yes.t -- he thinks he got new life tonight. he was going to to be tomorrow night? who shakes things up and maybe gets a second look? >> shannon: former secretary scoring a lot of headlines tonight and that's what they want to do when they're on the stage of ten people. oh, all right. ed, let us know what you get. he's getting a lot of attention. we've talked about cory booker, moment for moment more time on camera. trying to break out of the pack. it started politely and tentatively but once folks started taking each other on in a more personal or direct way, change the tone of the night. the seal has been broken. we will see tomorrow how they start off. five moderators were tasked with corralling the candidates including a wild card opinion host. how they fared. we'll break it down next. -excuse me. uh... do you mind...being a mo-tour? -what could be better than being a mo-tour? the real question is... do you mind not being a mo-tour? -i do. for those who were born to ride, there's progre

i'm going with a traffic alert because all lanes are blocked in castro valley at westbound 580 and castro valley. we have not gotten an update in about 15 minutes but we were told all lanes were temporarily blocked due to a five to six vehicle collision. it sounds like we have some serious injuries and emergency crews are at the scene. as far as we know, no one is getting by. we are down to about 15 miles an hour and even slower than that as you get closer to the scene. that is definitely our biggest issue. good news on the richmond/san rafael bridge looks like the road work wrapping up on either side, eastbound and westbound. a little bit after backup in the san quentin area but looking great in richmond and the other backup on the other side should look great and thin out in a few minutes. >>> i'm tracking developing news in the south bay where milpitas police are investigating a dui crash involving a 17-year-old driver. that investigation ongoing right now. this new video shows a scene on lacy drive near edsall. they say the teenager hit two parked cars before he crashed as well and th

so castro fervently does.nd critically, he knows that nobody in the room while different science or pause to ask them, what the hell are you talking about? i can't say a word. they are to did intimidated. they know hr is watching. so they nod like monkeys as of everything he is saying is completely sane. good point, mr. secretary perry trans female should not have to pay for their own abortions. that's racist." the whole thing was a cartoon, or a novel. it went on like this all night. here for example is julian castro agreeing with elizabeth warren that it shouldn't be illegal for foreigners to break our laws. watch. >> when somebody comes across the border, not decriminalize desperation, but treat that is a civil violation. >> tucker: criminalize desperation. you thought this was your country. just because, like your ancestors, you were born here, just because you may have your income to the government to keep the whole thing going, you thought it was your country. think again, racist. america belongs to the

as it wasn't just about castro rising. it was about may be beto o'rourke falling down. he was the media darling on the cover of "vanity fair," predicted to be the next barack obama. instead he has struggled a bit in early days and it appeared that on issues like immigration a was not quite prepared. watch. >> i think it's a mistake, beto. i think it's a mistake and if you truly want to change the system, we have to repeal the section. if not, it might as well be the same policy. >> let me respond briefly. as a member of congress, helped introduce legislation that would ensure that we don't criminalize those who are seeking asylum. >> the questionnaire from the moderators was what would you specifically do on day one or your first 100 days to actually deal with the border crisis? in the case of castro, he was talking about a section of the law that he would change that would specifically decriminalize border crossings. it's very controversial but he has something specific. in the case of overwork, he never quite answered wh

that's why i think castro did a great job yesterday.up a real issue that needed to be discussed. >> here the house democratic leadership is faced with this pragmatism in the moment versus something principled when it comes to how this is doing. nancy pelosi has basically made the decision to put this bill to the floor without the fixes that alexandria ocasio-cortez and some other progressives wanted. what do activists think of that? >> it's a tough one because we've had a new cycle this week where i just mentioned the pictures where we heard about homestead and how these kids are really not being taken care of, no toothbrush, no soap. it's really horrific, kids walking around without diapers. and so there is something we tell the folks who are legislating to legislate and to do something. so they are stuck in a weird corner where they have to react and actually get stuff done. but they can't give away everything as well. they got to make sure that the money is used for a specific purpose, and that's the hard part. >> adrienne, if they f

and one candidate who had a break out moment was julian castro. he was been struggling to register in the polls. he has been making a very impassioned argument for decriminalizing people who come across the border illegally. take a listen to what he said. he even took a shot at a fellow candidate. >> watching that image of oscar and slularia is heart breaking and should piss us off. using section 25 of that act to criminalize the parents and then separate them, some of us on this stage have called to end that section, to terminate it. some like congressman o'rourke have not. and i want to challenge all of the candidates to do that. i just think it's a mistake -- >> if you did your homework on this issue you would know we should repeal this. >> now, what we didn't see last night were personal insults. there was no mudslinging, but what was very clear was the breadth and range on policy positions all these candidates are taking on the debate stage. and one topic that made this particularly clear was the issue of health care. take a listen. >> so, ye

i asked him why the ideas had chosen castro. >> why not. the climate's good. the neighborhood was run down for a while and there were a lot of empty stores that needed fixing up and painting. and it was a pseudocrime area here. but most importantly, the people living in the area had no objection. >> and we are streamingthis series unedited. watch our special presentation of "look back, 1976, bay gays on all abc7 platforms including amazon fire. >> that old foot >> all of us here, thank you for joining us to >>> tonight, breaking news as we come on the air in the west. the deadly shark attack. >>> the other story, president trump saying, "i hate it." when asked about this image now drawing outrage. a father and daughter just shy of her 2nd birthday dying while trying to get to the u.s. and on this night, the first debate for the democrats, elizabeth warren goes to one of the facilities housing migrant children, saying these children are no threat. other candidates following suit. >>> also breaking tonight, news coming in right now of a deadly shark attack, leav

tonight, the castro strategy. find the person, look at your internals and say if this person falls out of the race and they drop, are their supporters going to go to me? castro just said i'm going to win the battle of texas and took out beto o'rouke on immigration, an issue beto used to say this is my main area. if i'm kamala harris, i'm going after pete buttigieg on issues of criminal justice right now. he's weakened. i think this is an opportunity for her to say look, as an ag, this is how you deal with police violence issues. this is how you deal with concerns on the part of voters and this is what the responsibility looks like when you have to answer these questions on a regular basis. i think that's a smart move. >> she will not do that. this is her opportunity to show america who she is. they've heard a lot about her. they haven't quite seen her or seen her speak this way. kamala harris wants to present the best version of kamala harris and to introduce yourself by going after a nice guy like mayor pete i th

that exchange with julian castro was one example. i get the feeling watching him because i've seen him in many town halls in texas and he can be dazzling. i feel hiss trajectory so far in this race, he's one of the only people that has fallen since the beginning. i think he lost his confidence. >> he was chosen as a straw man in a way by other candidates bill de blasio and julian castro who are about to speak with david gregory. the reasons they chose him i think is what came from this debate was this leftward shift. this complete leftward framing, perhaps, for the democratic party as they approach this primary season. >> i think it's significant. i agree about beto o'rourke. that vanity fair cover which was a mistake. app sizzle and no substance. and pete buttigieg. those two things happened to beto o'rourke and so he faded. i think the leftward tilt of the party, what you saw in the last two cycles was this kind of progressive redefining of the democratic party that was largely quashed by barack obama, then senator obama, then hill
