cruz went the extra mile to release his birth certificate to the dallas morning news which reported cruzto an american mother and has dual citizenship. and following that report, senator cruz released a statement renouncing his canada citizenship. he says now the dallas morning news that i have dual citizenship, i'm an american by birth and as a u.s. senator i believe i should only be an american. it's odd for me to say about a guy who i disagree with on many points, he couldn't be more right. the irony, of course, it mirrors the phony scenario of those who have been arguing to this day that president obama was born overseas, mostly in kenya and not eligible to be president. he was born to an american mother in the state of hawaii that was actually in america, by the way, but the birthers are all but silent when it comes to ted cruz. cruz has already visited the important presidential primary states of iowa and south carolina and he's headed to new hampshire this month. he's giving every indication he may be thinking of running for president and is eligible to do so. he's a natural born

the one distinction between president obama and ted cruz is that ted cruz really was not born here. >ow, you look at the elephant in the room, i guess pun intended with the gop, but you know, dana, sarah palin endorsed trump's birtherism, but she just about the biggest supporter you could fine of ted cruz. listen to this. >> i appreciate that the donald wants to spend his resources in getting to the bottom of something that so interests him and many americans. you know, more power to him. >> you know what i wish congress would do? just for a week perhaps, just put themselves on cruise control, ted cruz control. >> it's almost like she's being hypocritical, dana. i mean -- >> no! >> do you think that palin will weigh in on senator cruz's eligibility? >> well, governor palin can see canada from alaska, so she has some things she might be able to say about this. of course everybody is going to be hypocritical. in their defense, they can say, well, they weren't really -- what they were talking about with president obama is they were accusing him or basically his parents of a fraudulent bi

i want to know that ted cruz is not from the yukon territory.ot satisfied he's renouncing his canadian citizenship. i want him to refouns his loyalty to the queen because canada is part of the commonwealth. of course, you're not seeing an equivalent response on the left now because they -- at least there's some consistency there. they thought the original obama birther thing was silly. this is silly, too. if ted cruz by some miracle gets elected president, well, a court can decide what a natural born citizen is. now, on the right, you can expect a few diehards to raise questions, particularly those fueled by rivals such as rand mule are looking for some advantage in the 20816 primaries but i think by and large they'll say look, this guy is one of our own. they'll fall in line behind him and move along. >> professor dyson, dana makes a really good point. because you already have some people in the ted cruz camp accusing allies of rand paul of being the ones fomenting the neobirth irism because the two of them potentially could be jackying for pre

and everyone i talked to basically came to see ted cruz, or his father, rafael cruz, was here, and was real hit with the crowd. this is the crowd ted cruz is playing to when he makes the stands in washington, that are so angering some of the colleagues he has, that say you know what? going through with this and potentially shutting down the government to de-fund this law could have enormous consequences for the republican party in the long run. >> and casey, what about the senior senator, who said that ted cruz is just plain hopelessly wrong about this? >> well, you know, cornyn was on that letter, initially, that senator mike lee circulated that actually had been the root of all of this. and he actually pulled his name off. to the point he was angered. the crowd here tonight actually yelled john cornyn's name. there was another group that held a mock town hall with john cornyn, they said he wouldn't show up. so they had a cardboard cut out, saying this is the guy we don't support. >> krystal ball, ted cruz trying to find followers to this campaign, not working so well. >> that is an e

well, ted cruz has a full name, ted rafael cruz and no one points to him that he come partially from descent. that's the difference. there was a legal question about his birth. that question has been answered and people ought to move on. the fact is, people like stockwood and others still haven't moved on from the question that has been asked and settled about president obama. >> and we are not flirting with birther i. we are talking about hypocrisy. they should not get confused. and we're talking about a man who has made a career pandering to the far right. listen to what he said when he was asked last night about impeaching president obama. >> the only reason not to impeach the president is because it wouldn't get through the senate can cruz really be surprised when he says things like that? >> i'm really not surprised. what we're seeing with senator cruz in setting up his path for the presidency is a lot like what he did with his senate path. which is curtailing his comments to that select fringe of the republican party. he knows that group can be riled up by such conservatism. an

they're huge fans of ted cruz. most of the people that, you know, i spoke to who are trickling their way in are here particularly to see him. the heritage foundation is claiming that this is an oversold crowd. we'll see. they're still trickling into the ballroom behind me. there were pretty long lines to get in as i was walking over here. this event was supposed to have started a few minutes ago. we're running a little bit late. we'll see if they fill up the room and fill up the standing room as they promised. >> nbc news reporter kasie hunt. thank you so much. >> reporter: thanks, chris. >> joining me, evan smith, ceo and editor in chief of the "texas tribune." there's polling i found interesting. this is texans saying they favor ted cruz over rick perry for president in a gop primary by quite a good margin. 18 months ago. i don't know how much name recognition ted cruz has. it speaks to how successful he's been in cultivating name recognition and kind of star aura around himself in just his very young senate care

cruz went the extra mile to release his birth certificate to the dallas morning news which reported cruz who was born in canada to an american mother has dual citizenship is by the accident of being born up there. following that report he released a statement. he said now the dallas morning news says i may technically have dual citizenship. assuming that to be true, i will renounce any canadian citizenship. nothing against canada but i'm an american by birth and a u.s. senator, i believe i should only be an american. well said. i couldn't agree with him more. odd to say in their about a guy i probably disagree with on many points but he could not be more right. the irony here of course, is that cruz's birth mirrors the phony scenario concocted by the birthers including donald trump to falsely have been arguing even to this day that president obama was born overseas mostly in kenya and not eligible to be president. the president was born to an american mother in the state of hawaii. that is actually in america. the birthers have been all but silent when it comes to ted cruz. i'm waiting f

you think cruz is far out there. republican representative was confronted by an angered tea party representative. here's the back and forth. >> what i need from you is to know what you can do, you and your fellow noncommunist colleagues in the lower house, what you can do to top these comical tyrannical executive orders laid down by this foreborne economical communist. what can you do for me? >> thank you for your question. he said it loud enough so you can all hear it. look. i can't emphasize the your sight part of my job enough and i think that that gets lost in what we do every day because that's exactly what we're doing. we're chasing down these orders, rules promulgated by backdoor legislation whether it's epa, irs. go down the list. >> you know, sam, we've been saying for weeks if not months, that the real lead over the republican party, no way is it john painer. the real leader is the loudest crazy person. that guy with the blond hair, that nut case was more powerful in that room than the member of congress wh

and i think ted cruz, it's all about the politics.f he's out there appealing to a talk radio base, this is what they want to hear, they don't want to be told that obama care is here to stay, they don't want to be told that in fact there's nothing that can be done, the president controls the executive branch and he's never going to repeal obama care. they just don't want to hear it. so he exists in that world. he's gaining currency in that world. we'll see if it's durable as a coalition in a republican primary process where electability has always driven the ballot in a republican presidential primary. >> steve schmidt, thank you very much for joining me tonight. >> you bet. my pleasure. >>> coming up, lewis black is here, as you now know. and as you know, lewis black has problems. many problems. and none of his biggest problems is with rick perry and rick perry's texas. that's coming up. >>> two russian women kissed when they won a relay race this weekend in moscow. and thanks to russia's anti-gay laws that kiss is now a worldwide phe

it is pretty clear that right now the republican party is not benefiting from ted cruz, but ted cruz is clearly benefiting from ted cruz. >> one thing and i know that eric michael dyson will have something to say about this, and there is a difference of the we are the change message espoused by president obama which was a forward thinking collaborate message about investing in the government and believing in a project which is the project of democracy. >> right. >> and the ted cruz version is that you guys decide this thing is broken and you tell us what to do. it is not a participatory version or collaborate version. >> it is ronald reagan but without any of the charisma or the authority that came from the grandfatherly being and bearing. ronald reagan could make a great speech and also have a sense of timeliness about tear down these walls and knew when to insert himself even though i disagreed with him, and the ideologues around him. there is a difference between campaigning and the popularity that he is able to evoke and governing which means that you have to compromise and talk

ted cruz is very much an up and comer. people here in washington in the senate side not pleased with his sort of bull in a china shop to his job as senator. certainly folks in iowa love him. the folks who win iowa rarely go onto win the actual contests. huckabee the year in 2008. so the you know, those are real ejan g evangelic evangelicals. they can light up a crowd there. >> professor shrum, speaking of bloviaters, we miss donald trump. he's not sure about ted cruz since he was born in canada. are we to assume he'll dispatch an expensive team of investigators in order to find mr. cruz's birth certificate? >> i don't think he'll do that. he just runs his mouth. most of the time he doesn't make a lot of sense. he makes a fool of himself and a joke of himself. what was really going on in iowa this weekend and nia is right. the fact is that republicans who win iowa generally don't go onto the nomination not since george w. bush. democrats generally do. but the reason this is starting so early is because you have a competitio

most times when you have a mission and cruz has got a brain, where is he headed? he up to the rock 'n' roll opposition politics of newt gingrich which is insurgent politics? it he trying to scare us with this? what's the plan? >> i think this is a fight between the oppositional insurrectionist wing of the republican party and basically everybody else, whether it's john mccain in the senate or charles krauthammer in the thought leaders on the right. there are all kind of bounded against this. this is about setting up 2016. we kind of thought after 2012 and the election results that this wing, the tea party radicalized wing of the republican party was certainly not -- but ted cruz and mike lee and others are saying hey, this fight's not over yet. a vacuum with nothing else happening in congress these days, mike -- ted cruz mike lee and the others can get a lot of attention by making these threats. the republicans had any real strategy, any real legislative program going on, they wouldn't get any traction for this. >> go back to the numbers here, sam. it looks like o

cruz not helping his guy. >> not at all.f there's a king maker trying to run as fast as he can away from them. >> you're thinking, what do i have to do, you know, i mean i did -- mitch mcconnell got the rand paul help. >> cruz is a different kind of political player. we're going to see that. >> we're going to get to this conversation a little later in the show. up next, the fight to be the mayor of the largest city in the country. and the world's capital. right. while democrats are occupying the senator ring of the big apple circus, there is a republican primary going on too. we'll introduce you to the republican who's hoping history actually repeats itself. by the way, go to rundown.msnbc.com to find out who might be the next mayor of staying a san diego and how it could impact the battle for congress. that conversation continues all day long on our facebook page. right now, 7 years of music is being streamed. a quarter million tweeters are tweeting. and 900 million dollars are changing hands online. that's why hp built a n

ted cruz tries to lead republicans in a deflating drive. his canadian connection takes center stage. he's ready to renounce it. more boxing day for him. >>> overnight vice president joe biden's son beau in a houston hospital after disorientation and weakness. the latest on this troubling news this morning. good morning from washington, tuesday august 20th, 2013. this is "the daily rundown." i'm chuck todd. lets get to the first read. we start overseas. former egyptian president hosni mubarak could actually be free in a few days. egyptian security forces arrested the spiritual leader of the muslim brotherhood, mohammed badie and his deputy, who was already in custody, will go on trial later this month for their alleged role of the death of protesters outside of headquarters in june. after scores of detention of top leaders, this morning the brotherhood has appoint add new figurehead. ousted president mohamed morsi remains under house arrest for a 49th day. this morning mubarak's lawyer tells nbc news his legal team is submitting a petition i

i want to talk about the big issue that governor cruz is talking about. i talk to a lot of worried democrats on capitol hill who say that ted cruz is able to gain traction because their constituents are concerned because the obama administration didn't handle the implementation well. as a politician and as a doctor who knows the angst of patients not just voters, did the white house mess this up? >> no, all i can say is that was a very long interview with very little content. first of all obamacare as john mccain suggested in 2008 going to -- eventually going to separate health care from employment. that's actually a good idea which john mccain put forward, and that's going to happen gradually and carefully. i don't want the texas insurance commissioner being up here in vermont. we have had universal health insurance for all our kids for 20 years. they have 22% of their children uninsured in texas. i don't want anything to do with texas' health care system in vermont and i don't want our people buying texas health insurance. so these are crazy ideas from

, about promoting cruz's presidential ambitions. on tuesday, cruz told reporters he's not going to speculate about whether he can legally become president. he tried to clear up his canadian conen drum. >> when i was a kid, my mom had always told me, if i wanted to, because i was born in canada, i could act to affirmatively try to claim canadian citizenship. i've never done anything to claim canadian citizenship so i thought that was the end. as a u.s. senator, i think it's appropriate that i be only american. >> by the way, cruz can't simply renounce this canadian citizenship with a statement. he has to fill out a form and pay $100, according to the canadian government. tea party limits on display in kentucky where senator mcconnell has been hitting his primary opponent for once claiming he graduated from m.i.t. school officials have said the seminar he attended is not affiliated with the university. senator lamar alexander got a tea party challenge from state representative joe carr. >> i got with my family, i got with my god and i

let's talk about this thing now with ted cruz.et's take a look at what happened last night and what happened there. let's talk about republicans by the way, before we get to some of the pictures who care about winning in the future, some of the extreme tactics by people like ted cruz and others like threatening government shutdown in order to defund the affordable care act makes them nervous. here's what republican strategist mike murphy -- and he's one of the smart guys out there -- here's what he told the washington post. the party, the republican party is acting as if the entire world is a gop primary. that is a very dangerous way to operate. we have massive image problems with the greater electorate. and the silly antics of the purist wing are making our dire problems even worse. mike murphy is a smart guy. he has to win elections. what's cruz up to. >> running for presidency. >> winning the presidency on the hardest right we've seen. >> i doubt he's going to win the presidency. but i wouldn't put it past him winning the nomin

i don't think ted cruz is wrong about that. think he understands as well as anybody that a democratically controlled senate with a democrat in the white house whose names is on this piece of legislation, this law, is not going to, you know, roll it back. sorry. president obama is not going to veto -- sorry. he is not going to -- you know my point. obama care is going to go forward because we have a senate -- democrat-controlled senate and democrat in the white house and ted cruz is saying we need to put republicans in there if we want to roll it back. >> why does ted cruz who has been a senator for eight months here wield so much influence you think in the republican party right now? >> ted cruz is the it of the republican party right now. for a long time, the establishment republicans could count on the conservative voters to back them up. we saw that with george w. bush and saw that with john mccain and saw that with mitt romney when the republican primary voters wanted to win more than they wanted to be right in their own mi

>> i don't think ted cruz did it. i think the tea party did it itself when they add tremendously successful 2010 election. and since then learned that it is not so easy in american politics. you have to do successive elections. and they've kept to it. they kept organized. and they elect smed significant people like ted cruz. >> but it does feel like because he is? the senate, there is this division of the house. they are whacky and the senate is this more thoughtful body and to have a senator i do think changes dynamic a little bit with the tea party. >> one would hope so. whether you're coming from the left or right in this country, there is a tremendous yearning as my examiner colleague baron york said in his column this morning, there is a tremendous warning for politicians who speak their con vicks. rather than mealy mouthing and taking boj sides and hiding behind rhetoric. politics who have the courage of their convictions. >> you know, michelle, i think that's part of my question about ted cruz. is he really spe
