you have a piece out this morning on the democrats lining up to challenge republican senator john cornyn in 2020. is there a chance, julia, that we could actually see this seat flipped in texas? >> you know, it's hard to say. right now if the election were held today, probably not. i mean, right now, you know, democrats are very enthusiastic about seeing this seat flood. they're citing demographic changes in texas as well as a slew of republican house retirements, remember congressman will hurd announced just a few weeks ago that he would be retiring from his seat. he's the only after crican repun member of the house, and the only republican member serving on a border district there, so democrats seeing some opportunity in terms of flipping it there. however, republicans are looking at this very large democratic primary field which consists of seven people, i'm told, that could grow towards eight or more people challenging cornyn, and we're thinking, let them battle it out, use their money and resources, and once they get to the general election against senator cornyn who has raised $9 m

democrats in texas and around the country who felt, well, if he just gaive ita shot against john cornyning a seat in texas. beto was listening to the voices that said, you have all this momentum coming out of the senate race, so much notoriety around the country, so many donors in your database that you should give it a shot for president, and he stuck with that. there are still some democrats in texas who would like to see a stronger candidate than the ones who have put themselves forward, and, of course, people like mjhmjh mj hagar probably not too excited about beto trying to squeeze her out. he's running for president for better or worse. i think the strong contrast with john cornyn may be one of his tasks, because the contrast with ted cruz is loveable, affable beto o'rourke. john cornyn is not that decisive kind of a figure. >> todd gilman, thank you very much. >>> we're hearing comments from the republican member of the house of representatives. congressman steve king in iowa seeming to suggest to a group of conservatives today that the human population might not exist had it not

there are already eight democratic candidates who have said i'm going to challenge john cornyn includingk in over a million dollars in his second quarter according to the campaign. so i don't know. do they need beto o'rourke to run? >> well, beto has this sort of unprecedented ground operation that he built and is running against ted cruz so the party very much wanted him to revise that and turn texas blue, help turn texas blue with the senate race that could help the presidential contender and that could build upon all the work he did coming within 2.6 points of winning. and so that has been very frustrating for the party establishment that they have not been able to convince him along with governor bullock in montana, hickenlooper in colorado, and stacey abrams in georgia not to run for senate. >> i want to go back to the senate as a whole but just to talk about texas, how vulnerable do you think john cornyn is right now? >> it's different, right? he is not a lightning rod like ted cruz and doesn't inspire the level of love. >> he is also not the republican democrats love to hate. >> h

how vulnerable is john cornyn?craig, he is vulnerable, and to me the question is what we saw from beto o'rourke in texas in 2018 was that the best that a democrat can do in this current time, or is the state changing so much that now all of a sudden that's where a generic candidate could end up being. i think the answer to that question tells you maybe how vulnerable john cornyn is. i always thought in a lot of ways ted cruz in a midterm environment and particularly with democrats so fired up against ted cruz is always a little bit more vulnerable than john cornyn, but when it comes to the field right now, and despite all the talk about beto o'rourke should run for the senate in texas, that candidates like m.j.hagar who has proven to raise a tremendous amount of money, royce west, manna edwards, a houston still councilmember, there's a lot of talent, young and established in that texas field right now. the georgia race to me, when you chat with democratic operatives who are in the case they feel their candidate qua

senator, perhaps he should run for that seat that john cornyn holds.ou reconsidered running for the senate seat in texas? >> i have not. i'm not going to run for senate. i'm running for president. my brother had thought about, joaquin, who's a congressman had thought about running for senate but decided not to. i do think that we have a strong field of people who are running in that democratic primary against john cornyn and that will have a good nominee that can beat john cornyn in 2020. and so people should know that in texas you're going to have a democratic nominee will make that a very competitive race. but my experience is executive experience, including it think two candidate maybe, along with the vice president, that has federal executive experience. and so my direct experience is actually related to what i'm running for. as president you are a federal executive and that's what i was when i was secretary of housing and urban development. i see the role that i'm running for as consistent with my experience and that's why part of the reason why i

and i think if beto maybe waited, not run for president, he would have a better shot against john cornynng in texas, joe biden is beating him. >> it is not clear what he stands for, a lot has been the person, you know about who hes is. -- >> push ups in airport. >> what does he do for you as president, and promising to do that other candidates are not promising. kennedy: the problem he is a regurgitate or of talking points, you have to be able to generate a vision that inspires confidence, he seems like -- >> and in debates has he in others have had their moments. kennedy: some people had their moments at his expense. i don't think he has done well. and go ahead pull out of the race. what about john hickenlooper dropping out, he is not going anywhere. does he pose a threat to gardner. >> i think he does, i think that hickenlooper is a more serious candidate, he was a governor. kennedy: he has talked about ideas. >> right, he has won, run before and won. kennedy: and he has been one of people to stage, like, he seems like a smart guy, not president. >> he has done some things before, he d

that large field also plays to cornyn's advantage.e runoff would be in may. that would give the democratic nominee 4 1/2 months to raise money and become the general election candidate. cornyn was able to watch cruz's very close call last year and he's been preparing running the best re-election campaign of any senate republican. staffs up early, raising money, working the state aggressively. i don't think cornyn is vulnerab vulnerable. 2020 is going to be different than 2018 was in texas. michelle is right to point out the suburbs. there's concern there. beto flipped five key suburban counties in the austin area, dallas area and the houston area. straight-ticket voting's over. beto o'rourke and $80 million will not be in place in 2020 like 2018. the action is the eight congressional districts that are going to be competed in not at i think the statewide level. >> at least eight congressional distri districts. we'll see how many others declare for an exit out of texas. thank you. danielle, please stick around if you don't mind. >>> th

is there a sense inside cornyn's world that it would be great? >> i don't hear impeachment come up in the campaigns very much, especially in the cornyn sphere. down ballot house democrats don't want to talk about this. that's where pelosi is coming from. >> we will see where it goes. jamal simmons and abby livingston, appreciate both of your time tonight. >> thank you. >>> much more to get to tonight including a little bit of map. map is fun. i love map. we'll be right back. ouch, okay. huh, boring, boring, you don't need to see that. oh, here we go. can you believe my client steig had never heard of a home and auto bundle or that renters could bundle? wait, you're a lawyer? only licensed in stockholm. what is happening? jamie: anyway, game show, kumite, cinderella story. you know karate? no, alan, i practice muay thai, completely different skillset. a cockroach can survive heresubmerged ttle guy. underwater for 30 minutes. wow. yeah. not getting in today. terminix. defenders of home.

the problem with john cornyn is he often talks but he hardly ever delivers.s is another issue. he often said he will work on legislation to try to strengthen the background check system that we have, never mind the background check system is completely inadequate, even if it were working as well as it should, which it's still not. we saw that in the southerly springs incident where there should have been a red flag did not make it up the chain so that shooter was able to get a weapon. but i do think john cornyn, susan collins, i think a number of other senators and congressional representatives that are in those swing districts and suburbs are going to feel the heat. as you can see, they are already predicting they're going to lose because we've seen six or seven announcements for retirements, including a few in texas. >> tex adepts they're calling it. >> and as you know, and your viewers know, that's usually a good sign that republicans don't feel very confident about the upcoming election. >> before i let you go, i want to ask you about the list of donors f

cornyn is very beatable and gettable. i think i'd love to call him senator o'rourke. he can take all that money he's raised in that presidential campaign and transfer it to his senate campaign so he doesn't start behind. beto, go home. >> i thought that ever since they started -- >> take tom steyer with you. >> when they started talking about beto as a presidential candidate, i said, no focus on texas. as we talk about places like texas, georgia, the carolinas, the demographics are changing so dramatically. i'm not saying it's going to be a red state -- i mean a blue state, but it does make his path easier. so absolutely for all the reasons that you said, run for the senate. >> are all the beto for president viewers on the show, i hear from them often. there's a second scenario i'm sure inside the beto campaign that last week's clarity and being the first to call donald trump a white supremacist, elizabeth warren who is running a good campaign followed him, then seven more did. is there an argument to make one more run at this president thing? >> no. >> i agree with y

. >> what about his calls, "houston chronicle" asking him to run for john cornyn's seat instead. >> in all the time i have covered o'rourke i never heard him or anyone close express any interest in running against john corn cornyn. that hasn't changed in the last week. he remains very focused on the presidential race. aides and advisers say there is no way he will run for senate. he has done everything except endorse hey gar. i don't see it happening now or any time soon. >> thank you. appreciate it. with me now, a former strategic communications director from hillary clinton's 2016 campaign. and democratic strategist chris, former chief of staff for senator joe manchin. i will start with you on this one. how do you think this reset will help beto o'rourke, if at all? >> i'm not sure it is going to work. he has been hovering 1% to 2% since he got into the election. the first few weeks it was 8%. i don't know that a reset will help. he qualified for the third debate, which means he will be on the debate stage september 12th and 13th. i'm not sure he has a chance really to move up in the

>> well, it's a pipe dream for democrats who wish that he would run against john cornyn, hoping thato as well and maybe a little bit better than he did against ted cruz when he held cruz to below 51%, he raised $80 million, he became a national phenom for democrats, and he may very well be the best chance for texas democrats to win that senate seat. but beto looked at the momentum that he got out of that senate race last year, and he said he wanted to run for president and he's made no secret about the fact that that's where his ambitions and heart is right now and he feels it's where he can make the biggest difference. and the odds for any of these two dozen candidates running for president are small. only one person can win the nomination. so the pressure is going to grow. as you said, hickenlooper dropping out. others will drop out. there will be incentives and pressures for beto and for others to turn their sights on other races. >> so erin, in the world you inhabit and cover for a living, this field of democrats, let's say it goes down by one as we're reporting tomorrow, we're c

are seven extraordinary candidates running right now, any one of whom would be far better than john cornynhom stands better to beat him. i'm running to be president of this country. >> do have december 9th marked in your calendar? december 9th is the last day i believe you can file in the senate democratic primary in texas. and i'm afraid, congressman, you might be getting this question right up until december 9th. >> no, and let me make your show the place where i tell you and i tell the country i will not in any scenario rain for the united states senate. i'm running for president, i'm running for this country. i'm taking this fight directly to donald trump and that's exclusively what i'm focused on doing right now. >> i want to expand on what you said about the other candidates who are running because you are now definitely absolutely out of the senate race in texas according to what you're telling us tonight. >> that's correct. absolutely, and i really mean this, there is an extraordinary field -- a field that looks like texas in the diversity of experience and biography and background

and, you know, senator cornyn. senator cornyn, the job you've done -- and they're talking about it all over the world and it's an honor to be with you. look at this group of people. could you believe this? good group of people. >> they're fantastic. >> i was here three months ago. we made a speech. what was the name of the arena? that place was packed, right? the judge is a respected guy. what was the name? oh, good. that was some crowd. we had twice the number outside. and then you had this crazy beto. beto had, like, 400 people in a parking lot. they said his crowd was wonderful. >> this while he's visiting victims of a mass shooting by a man who set out to kill hispanics, whom the gunman called invaders, just like the president does. what message did the people of el paso hear at that rally? the one with the crowds he is bragging about. in a border city filled with immigrants and their children. his message that night, undocumented immigrants are criminals. despite the fact that many are seeking asylum in the u.

parrot tweets from his colleague john cornyn of texas, we have made progress improving the broken background check system, improving access to mental health treatment, by hardening soft targets like our schools. enhancing training for law enforcement and mental health professionals. but we need to keep trying. focusing on law-abiding citizens , exercising their constitutional rights. solves nothing. we need to treat these crimes as problems to be solved, rather than once to be exploited for partisan, again. more now from ohio senator sherrod brown and conger's been well heard at texas, gets on cbs this morning. >> we wake up to grief -- on cbssman will heard this morning. >> mitch mcconnell should bring us back into session on monday we could fly back into washington on monday morning. we could pass the background check bill could fly back and be home for dinner. the president needs to sign this bill. we know what to do. we know the background checks works. we know the ban on assault weapons works. it was bipartisan. it expired. we have not renewed it. those the first two things we should do

john cornyn in texas, for example, is up for reelection.it between the rural and suburban republican parties in this case? >> i don't know that that -- claim, but you're not going to get 95 votes for gun reforms in the senate -- excuse me, let's say 55 votes or something like that. a vast majority of republicans. but take someone like rob portman who voted against it last time, seems like he might be inclined to support it this time. a baraso versus a cornyn. >> serlina, how different should democrats be confronts thing issue if, in fact, mitch mcconnell brings something up, a background check bill or something like that? there's been some division around do you take a half measure if you're a democrat, or if it can pass mitch mcconnell's senate, is it possibly good enough for democrats who want to see more than that done? >> i think that for democrats that want to see more than that done, you have to start somewhere. i think if you can get something passed through mitch mcconnell's senate, that is a good thing because that shows that it's

the governor in particular, senator cornyn, senator cruz?reporter: well, they're with the president today. you know, the folks that are the president's political allies are staying close by his side today. and i think that there is a realization of that, at least here at this rally, with largely a democratic congressional delegation that was out here. there's certainly no love for the republican delegation here. the folks that i'm with want to hear about is calling out existing gun laws, calling for members of congress to go back and be in session. and that's certainly not what you're hearing from the republican delegation. >> jacob soboroff on the ground there in el paso for us. jacob, thank you very much. joining me now sticking in el paso is the el paso county commissioner, david stout. mr. stout, thank you for come on. we all here have been grieving with your community over the last few days. you are somebody that thought the president shouldn't come. he's there now. what role do you want him to play now that he's there? >> you know, i'm

. >> look, john cornyn is not ted cruz. also john cornyn is not cory gardner.ere are eight people in the senate race on the democratic side. and i do not believe the seas would part. i do not believe the party would view him in their best interest. he is making a call that i believe again connects back to his higher purpose as he sees it, whether it works or not. the senate race is a total nonstarter. >> you guys have made one thing clear. beto o'rourke has decided, look, this may not work, but i'm going to do it my way and forget everybody else. it's an interesting campaign. you know what? when you go boar, you never know what you're going to get. it's good to see you both. thank you. >>> up ahead, it is getting a little nasty in new hampshire as president trump heads to the granite state. what some republicans there are hoping he does not do. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. i wish i could shake your hand. granted. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ who got an awf

and the other democrat that ran a close house race in 2018 in that race against cornyn.not see it happening, but we're a long way from december. >> and there are an awful lot of democrats, as we know a.b., who would love to see bullock and hickenlooper who dropped out today saying he's thinking of running for the senate, have all three run for the senate. if there's anybody close to the please get him out of there behind donald trump it's mitch mcconnell. >> i'm actually surprised how little the democrats and primary campaign are talking about the need to take the senate majority back or they can't get anything done. it's interesting. it's really on the back burner and crucial for them going forward, for judges, for everything. and it is a sign of the near death of the parties. donald trump was an insurgent and took over the republican party. bernie almost became the nominee in 2016. the parties barely raised significant money anymore. they have databases. they cannot pick candidates. it's the wild west. stacey abrams would have knocked off david perdue in florida. she r

john cornyn said it is to lower costs for americans. >> most of the saferrings the big drug companiesn to the consumer, we want to bring down costs to consumer. >> the timing coming between two democratic debates. after the first night where they sparred over medicare for all. we run on things that are workable. >> i don't understand why anyone goes to the trouble of running for president of the united states to talk about what we can't do and shouldn't fight for. canadian medical professionals say they are warning drug shortages could result in the first relies too heavily on them for medicine. >>> divers found the body of a missing man in the russian river, he was found 40 feet offshore. deputies say he was swimming in the river tuesday and reported missing by a family member. >>> checking in on the weather now, we had another nice day. here are the temperatures, some places warmer than yesterday, some places cooler, just a snapshot of the day. similar to yesterday, very similar to tomorrow in the inland valleys, not 100s, but we did top 90s, temperatures tomorrow will be about the

thankr cornyn -- cormann: you very much, mr. president.'m not aware of the details of the issue you raise, and i am not going to just take on face value all aspects of it. the issue you raise is very serious. i think it is well understood that the coalition has a strong and proud record of being a supporter of israel. so i would reject any implication in that question that we are anything other than that. beyond that, in order to deal with the question that senator wong has raised with the appropriate level of sensitivity and accuracy, i will take it on notice. >> senator wong, supplementary question. sen. wong: the prime minister mr. morrison has said previously, "i will always be prepared to call out extremism in all its forms." senator amanda stoker and the member for hughes craig kelly mp will be attending this event with mr. gaetz. will the prime minister call out extremists when they stand next to each other on stage? >> senator cormann. sen. cormann: thank you very much, mr. president. of course the prime minister stands by his stat

destruction of my city on saturday it was taken directly from statements made by president trump sen john cornyn his mates tweets about the way that there are 9 hispanics moving to texas for every white person governor greg abbott laments the fact that texas is number 2 in gun sales and we can't be number one there incursion and take a immigrant thoughts and racism and violence. i mean a lot i want to tell our audience something before you wrote dress what point the points are going to split up and that is why little song to study. what happened it's still can you just tell us if you don't mind yeah absolutely so what i found was that there's a lot of lack of understanding about what these hate groups stand for what motivates their actions what motivates their level of violence how they organize and things like that and so what i wanted to do is try to can text in a language that people understand when they are not deeply engaged in that with this material and try to make clear the politics of that underlie the violence and to try to communicate that these are politics that are not very far from

cornyn: madam president, the senate is not in order. the presiding officer: the senate will be in order. the senate will be in order. the senator from texas. mr. cornyn: madam president, when the senate gavels out at the end of this day, members will head home for the august work period to spend time with our constituents and family. i for one am eager to get back home to texas and spend time with folks in about every region of my state. i have the honor of representing roughly 28 million people, and it takes a little bit of time and effort to get around the state, but i'm looking forward to it. i have the chance to highlight some of the work that we've been doing here in washington and, yes, hear from my constituents, my fellow texans on what they care most about, what they agree with, what they disagree with, and everything in between. with the passage of this bipartisan budget deal, we've now taken care of our final piece of business for this work period. the funding agreement we just passed will provide stability for our nation thro

that is why senator cornyn and i put in a vaccine bank which just passed in that last farm bill. no one is talking about this. this is what we saw with h1n1 and avian flu and huff and mouth disease. foreign countries who do not want to have competitive american products use these things as an excuse, even if they are dangerous or not. that is another trade issue we have to deal with. so do i think having someone at the top of the ticket that actually knows these things is good for our country? yes. and i hope that as the months go by and we have more debate, that it is going to start to be appreciated. it is not just people who talk the talk now. it is the work they have done. it is whether or not they're able to get through that gridlock of congress. and past things. and make a difference and pass things. and make a difference. i look forward to the small debate stage so i can speak to the economic agenda. and how i'm a stark contrast to the guy with the white house who stokes fears to make himself look better. and he does not care if he does not look better to most americans. h

i can't by the cornyn in texas, i am running for the nomination.e trying to make 700 people in a crow crowd feel lika big number. lou: how about house bill 1044. fairness for immigrants. that is what we want. we want right for immigrants. but the hell with the american workers says the republican conference, democratic leadership and the house, and mike lee, one of the i mean the true geniuses of republican party politics, wanting to push through senate 387. there would double number of h-1b visas give most of them to india and china, and com pete -e with american worker, who are idiots running republican party in capitol hill. >> i don't know, i voted against that. lou: i salute you. >> you will see a bloo flood ofh skill labor come in from china and india to compete with your american workers, drive down -- you saw what happened with disney, they brought in foreign workers, and the american worker trained them. lou: it has happened in many countries. >> if we have a gap, and we don't have americans who can fill those jobs i'm all about bring in.

john cornyn in texas. you saw how close beto o'rourke got. tom tillis in north carolina. another state. trump won it because close state. so democrats think there could be a combination. the thing they have to be careful for, there are some vulnerable democrats. doug jones won the special election in alabama against roy moore at the end of 2017. this is a state that donald trump will be winning by 20. 25, 30 points, something like that. tough, tough, tough for a democrat to win in a presidential election in a state like alabama. we will see it. that one is a very possible republican pick-up that would mean democrats would have to win another one to make up for it. you can't see him on the board here. republicans might take a look at new hampshire. gene running for re-election there. theoretically, there is minnesota. tina smith is up there. trump lost there by 2 1/2 points. tina smith did very well facing the voters there just last year. so a couple opportunities for republicans. but the bottom line, we bring all this up. big news in georgia on the senate front. a reminde
