juliÁn castro: es muy importante.sia. veÍa la telenovela " tÚ o nadie". alan: la de lucÍa mÉndez? fÍjate que alguien te quiere saludar. quiÉn estÁ ahÍ? >> hola, buenos dÍas, cÓmo les va? juliÁn castro: bien, usted cÓmo estÁ? >> muy bien, juliÁn, soy lucÍa mÉndez. [aplausos] juliÁn castro: yo aquÍ con chilaquiles, cafecito. satcha: macro quien iba decir que era niÑo, miraba estas telenovelas que protagonizaba, lucÍa, iba a estar aquí en "despierta amÉrica", postulÁndose el puesto más importante del paÍs. hay algo que quieras decirla estas generaciones que nos identificamos contigo. muchos de nosotros recordamos estar en casa mirando telenovelas, ya lo que le quieras decir a ellos, tambiÉn lucÍa lo que le quieras decir a Él que se puede convertir en el primer hispano en llegar a la mansiÓn presidencial como presidente. lucÍa mÉndez: estoy muy orgullosa de que haya visto "tÚ o nadie" con su abuela, con su madre y que hoy por hoy se acuerde de mÍ, realmente es lo que vale la pena seguir luchando en esta carrera. que nos s

then down at sixth, a lot of people thought julian castro had a good debate. google made sure to point out to us that searches on julian castro spiked 4,000%, m.j., 4,000% over the course of the debate. if you are looking about improvement, it's hard to argue julian castro did not have a huge improvement during that debate. >> well, i mean, if you look at someone like julian castro, i think he was one of the candidates going into this debate with so much at stake because his candidacy has failed to take off so far, right? he has not had any momentum in the polls. he is not getting probably the kind of coverage that his campaign would like him to get. i think the fact that he seized on the issue of immigration to really make this forceful and powerful impression on voters who might be actually tuning in to exactly who he is for probably the first time last night, i think that was a really important moment for him. and, guys, one of the biggest take aways for me latz night watching this debate was just actually how far away the general election feels right now b

but julian castro may have made the moment of the night, okay? most of the candidates were, you know, not really wanting to mix it up. the two from texas, castro and beto o'rourke got after it on immigration. >> a title 18 of the u.s. code, title 21 and title 22 already cover -- >> used to do. >> the issue. if you did your homework on this issue you would know that we should repeal this section. >> this is an issue that we should and could be talking about for a long time. >> now let that be a little window into the reality of politics. you can kumbahyah all you want. you can my friend and with all due respect, and i'm not going to come after, even if the media wants me to. taking shots distinguishes people in debates, okay. now, let's bring in zander rojas, jennifer granholm, who knows a little something about debate prep i'm told when it comes to the former vp joe biden, and mr. chris cillizza. cillizza, you always like to disagree. >> hello. >> but admit i'm right. when it comes to debating on a big stage with a lot of people, this whole idea o

then we had spanish from cory booker and julian castro. ame as prepared as elizabeth warren which is really hard to do. he knew exactly what he was doing on the immigration question. he started talking about how pissed off he was and how important that americans be also about what was happening at the border. he said to his face he didn't do your homework on this issue. it was a wonderful exchange, big boon for julian castro. google search results went up over 2000% during the course of the debate and i don't think it's because he was doing badly, in case you were going to say that, harmeet. >> shannon: [laughs] is interesting to watch the trends on social media. we learned a lot about who's making moments. harmeet, let's go to yours, your loser, senator cory booker. we will play it. >> it's even worse is i hear gunshots in my neighborhood. i think i'm the only one, i hope i'm the only one on the panel that had seven people shot in their neighborhood last week. >> shannon: harmeet. >> the reason i said that he was a loser on the comment was

shots they have to be careful how they do it. >> back to the top -- the topic of immigration, julian castroing crossing the border. how does that play out for moderate democrats? >> moderate democrats that is a problem. castro did a wonderful job about distancing himself from the pack. he got great airtime in that respect even if he's not a leader in polling, that was smart. on the other hand what he was pushing, that idea is not something that resonates well with americans, there is empathy for immigrants, certainly support for dreamers to have a path to residency in the united states but that doesn't mean americans don't want security at the border. it is a complex topic and the criminalizing something like that doesn't float well with most americans and even moderate democrats. >> a response? >> this is a legitimate debate. i people criminals because they cross the border looking for a safe life? know they are not but they are treated as such and we are coming to a end point where people are dying at the border and we need a legitimate conversation about what castro put out is the idea t

beto o'rourke comes down on one side, julian castro says this should be repealed. not go that far. who is right? >> poppy, i think julian is reacting to the fact we are treating immigrants that come to the border requesting asylum as criminals. they are not criminals -- >> congresswoman, just for the sake of time, just a straight answer on it's beyond as he said to beto o'rourke, beyond just the asylum seekers. he thinks this should be repealed entirely which would stop the crossing over of undocumented immigrants from being a crime, from them being held criminally liable for that. is that right? >> i think our priority is to have border security. i am not at this point willing to change that specific provision. >> okay. let me ask you finally, in the control room if we have the picture that i am just wondering if it's actually going to change anything in congress of the father, a young father and his 23-year-old daughter, this picture, jim and i were saying on the show yesterday this reminded us so much of that young little boy that washed up on the shore in turke

julian castro talked about a marshall plan.s don't necessarily solve security issues but there's more need for resources in central america. the problem is how to create a humane -- yeah. >> i was just going to say you were talking about julian castro, specifically what he was proposing. one of the things you suggested and you're talking about inventives is invoking section 25 of the criminal code which criminalizes entering the united states. he would make it only a civil violation. listen to that. >> i think -- >> title 18 of the u.s. code, title 21 and title 22 already cover human trafficking. if you did your homework on this issue, you would know we should repeal this section. >> again, what do you think of that proposal? to make illegal entry just a civil violation? >> i think it needs to be done immediately. and i'll tell you why. donald trump the way he's portraying these migrants, he's portraying them as criminals. and the argument he used from the very beginning when he started campaigning as a candidate is these are c

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

but julian castro doesn't care. xpayer-funded transgender abortion sounds like something that all good progressives should support. so castro fervently does. and 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

y beto o'rourke mÁs que nada, julian castro nos estuvo hablando especÍficamente de cÓmo atacarÍa yo creo que estuvieron sus posturas muy fuertes, pero en especial juliÁn castro. >> un tema crucial para todos los que vivimos acÁ es la emergencia climÁtica que hay en el mundo, ayer se tocÓ el tema uno mÁs que otro los hablaron, cÓmo lo viste tÚ? >> yo lo vi y muchas personas que estuve viendo en twitter, es un tema sumamente impactante y solo se tocaron 7 minutos de cambio climÁtico, a la vez es una ventaja porque la primera vez en la historia que se dejan 7 minutos para el clima el medio ambiente, pero esperamos ya que es un tema que le importa mÁs a los jÓvenes y a la comunidad, el gobernador de washington hablÓ con mÁs intensidad sobre el tema, pero tambiÉn elizabeth warren tiene un plan para crear buena economÍa, aparte es una mujer andidatos para que a ustedes les causara interÉs? >> wow!, creo que no, anoche no fue la noche para los jÓvenes hablÁbamos que somosl electorado, casi la mitad y tenemos muchos problemas nÚmero 1 la deuda estudiantil, acceso a la educaciÓn, la econo

that's julian castro's big idea harry smith, nbc news, hanover, new hampshire. >> and we continue withs tomorrow when former colorado governor john hickenlooper talks about his big idea >>> tonight, new surveillance video of the incident that led to the arrest of actor cuba gooding jr. video obtained by tmz appears to show gooding having contact with the woman who accuses him of groping her at a new york bar. gooding pleaded not guilty and was released without bail. >>> more fuel tonight in that controversy over delaying wing harriet tubm nbc's blayne anda look at what the new $20 bill might have looked like. last month, treasury secretary steve mnuchin announced an obama-era plan to put harriet tubman, a famed abolitionist, on the $20 bill, to be unveiled in 2020, would now be delayed until at least 2026. mnuchin at the time calling it a security issue. >> it is my responsibility now to focus on what is the issue of counterfeiting and the security features. >> reporter: but tonight, "the new york times" is reporting a preliminary design of the bill was almost finished, created before

julian castro saying we should decriminalize everyone coming across the border illegally and make it civil violation. what is he talking about? is that possible? >> it is certainly possible, you can always change the law but i think it is a foolish policy. the talks about three things, decriminalize, they want to get a pathway to citizenship for people here illegally. all 3 of those ideas will simply increase the problem at the border. talking about detention, the reason -- bring a child, you won't be detained, 90% of the issues issued by immigration court is not showing up at court so their answer is they won't be detained, their answer is let's detain even less when they know that is why they are coming to begin with, decriminalizing illegal entry into the united states has been in the law for decades. we talk about 0-tolerance, when you prosecute parents were entering illegally it worked. what they don't talk about is border crossings, 26%. having a consequence worked but these people on stage last night, none of them think there needs to be deterrence a consequence are illegal ac

i mention julian castro, where he broke out was on the issue of immigration and what was interesting 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 o

former hud secretary julian castro the first commander in chief.tion on everything from immigration to impeachment have made him a major name on the left. >> my grandmother that i grew up with came across in 1922. >> pay teachers what they deserve. i was the first want to say 2020 candidate they should begin impeachment proceedings.

julian castro wants to repeal that. congressman, nice to see you. let me ask you, you know, listening to that last night, making border crossings a serve el offense. it's been this cornerstone of castros campaign. do you agree with it? >> absolutely. i agree with it, and so does the whole immigrant rights movement in the country. and so it was astonishing to me that beto o'rourke was so abrasive. i watched my colleague ryan from ohio said, we have to take a look at it, i mean even the centri centrist, more moderate democrats, whether from minnesota or from ohio, were taking a look at it, and so i don't understand -- and i think it's fundamental, because he spoke about a father and his daughter. we saw the pictures. i woke up to watching that today on the screen of my tv set. i thank julian castro for bringing it up in the context of the debate. let's remember that it is very frequently used in the trump administration, and how they use it, and how did we get section 1325? here's how we get it, we got it because a racist white supremacist senator in 1

. >> reporter: julian castro was not a been the polls but he acknowledged he needs to introduce himself and he did by taking a a few swipes at donald trump and refusing to criticize his democratic challenger. the only latino candidate in the race castro was asked about immigration. a woman who had her identity stolen by an illegal immigrant, watch. >> would you be willing to have them not release this? >> thank you for the question. let me begin the answer to that question by saying all of us now as human beings that regardless of circumstance, whether people are rich or poor or the color of their skin or their background that people commit crime. crime happens. >> martha maccallum and bret baer tried to get a bit more specific on the immigration issue. >> 100,000 people crossing the border a month. >> we have a court system designed, underfunded to be able to deal with that so i would immediately fund in of judges and support staff to deal with those cases. >> you do think it is a crisis. >> it is a crisis of leadership. >> we saw more evidence of joe biden's continued moved to the lef

amy: during the debate, julian castro, the former secretary of housing and urban development, former mayor of san antonio, criticized immigration policies of fellow texan, former congressman beto o'rourke. castro called for the repeal of section 1325 of the immigration and nationality act which criminalizes crossing the border at places other than ports of entry. >> let's be very clear. the reason they're separating these little children from their families is they're using section 1325 of that act, which criminalizes coming across the border, to incarcerate the parents and then separate them. some of them on this stage have called to end that, to terminate it. some, like congressman o'rourke, have not. i want to challenge all of the candidates to do that. >> i think it is a mistake. i think if you truly want to change the system, then we have to repeal that section. if not, it might as well be the same policy. folks let me respond. as a member of congress, helped to introduce legislation that would ensure we do not criminalize those who are seeking asylum and refuge. if you are fleei

it was julian castro. astro from has always had from a communications standpoint that potential. i'm very interested to see what happens with him. and cory booker, i can remember almost 20 years ago starting out covering politics in new jersey, watching cory booker run for mayor of newark, new jersey. and he actually lost that race and won his second time around in newark. but i remember they talked about the buzz around new jersey was that booker had lost the city of newark, but he had won the state of new jersey. and what that meant cory booker's appeal back then was suburban. it's interesting now to see him running on a city message. >> steve kornacki at the board. elizabeth warren with chris matthews. chris? >> thank you, well, elizabeth warren i think you won tonight. i've been watching these debates all my life. just talk about this because we've only got a few minutes. i thought you had a consistent even relentless message of populism, pure american populism. we in the country have got to bring down

you look at someone like julian castro. he's doubled down on nevada because he knows he has to have a strong thog there to be viable. they have a very big latino population. >> there are four people on that stage who have made big investments in iowa because that shows you they're going to need to make a good showing there. >> i've been involved in a lot of presidential campaigns over the years. iowa still matters so much. >> yeah. >> you cannot -- it is really hard to survive too much longer if you don't have a pretty strong showing in iowa. and that's really important. the reason for that is for all of the debate watchers tonight and the ones who will be watching in july and september and october, the truth is the vast majority of american democrats are going to wake up the night of the iowa caucuses and go, oh, there's a primary going on. and that is such an important moment. and so for, you know, what this is tonight and these debates coming up is an opportunity to shine and to roll out some ideas and some values. but a

tonight -- john lithgow star of "booksmart," actress beanie feldstein 2020 presidential candidate julian castrouring the 8g band with sebastian thomson. ♪ [ cheers and applause ladies and gentlemen, seth meyers. >> seth: good evening. i'm seth meyers. this is "late night. how is everybody doing tonight [ cheers and applause that is wonderful to hear. in that case, let's get to the news president trump held an unscheduled event in the rose garden today which featured a sign attached to the podium with the title, "mueller investigation by the numbers." okay, i officially think he eats too much fast food, because he made the rose garden look like a drive through. [ laughter ] "yeah, i'll have 18 angry democrats. no collusion." [ laughter ] president trump this morning discussed the recent senate subpoena of his son don junior, calling him, quote, "a good young man who has gone through hell." okay, can you stop calling don junior a young man he's 41. when a woman turns 41 you're ready to drive her to the edge of the woods and leave her there. "okay, good-bye, enjoy the two or three years you have l

i thought julian castro spoke from his heart. as the only latino up there, he was powerful and talking about the biggest news story of the day which is that father and daughter lying dead in the rio grande. i thought booker was good, but he was sort of just one note, monochromatic. kept talking one way with one expression. he didn't get a chance to show his rich personality. i thought de blasio was surprisingly a heavy weight tonight. i think he entered into the national debate coming from new york city and joining right in with the national debate about war and peace and the big issues. i was really impressed with de blasio tonight. >> to lawrence o'donnell, maybe you want to take a round house swing at this. for viewers watching tonight, for whom some of these candidates are new faces and new names, explain the candidacy of one tulsi gabbard of hawaii, army vet, a major in the army national guard, a member of congress. what should we know about tulsi gabbard? >> i must say she used her military experience really well on the sta

likewise, i was very taken with the lone star showdown between julian castro and beto o'rourke, the two texans. they have been friends, they have been political allies, but you clearly saw castro take his moment at o'rourke's expense. i think a lot of folks expected it would be elizabeth warren with a target on her back last night, but instead it was o'rourke. i think a lot of candidates felt more comfortable going after a pound of flesh for him to try to punch up at someone else on stage. you saw cast promake his moment. i think a lot of the country was googling section 1325 this morning of the u.s. code. he's trying to make a moment on that. and then i think the new york city mayor, bill deblasio who is somebody who eeked his way on to the debate stage at the last minute and made the most of it by throwing hey makers that they're trying to elbow his way in like a new yorker on the subway, trying to get some attention last night. he did so. but we'll see how long any of those storylines survive after tonight when we see some other big names take the stage. >> less than a 24 hour news c

is what we saw there, is julian castro the candidate the same as julian castro, the guy in the cabinet the key thing here is having worked on a presidential campaign, there's really two questions you have to answer. why are you running for president and why are you and not anybody else? you need a rationale that is very clear to people, that can jump out in a one-minute answer, at a debate, in an interview. elizabeth warren is getting traction because the answer to that question is very clear. why am i running? because of inequality and corruption. why me? i've been doing this my whole life. >> took like ten seconds. >> i think a lot of other candidates don't have that boiled down yet. if you don't get there, you're not going to break through. >> joyce, lexi talked about the plans he's released. what's your sense of why a messenger like that hasn't been successful so far? >> well, it's not a flattering portrait of the american people, right. we're not deeply substantive when it comes to selecting a president. in many ways, we want someone -- >> it's us, not them. it's me, it's not you.

but julian castro doesn't cares taxpayer-funded transgender abortion sounds like something that all goodgressives should support. so castro fervently does. and critically, he knows that nobody in the room will defend him, what the hell are you talking about? they can't say a word. they are too intimidated. they know hr is watching. so they nod like monkeys as if everything he is saying is scompletely sane. "oh, good point, mr. secretary. trans females shouldn't 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.as >> when somebody comes across the border, not to criminalize 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, r

now, we also spoke with secretary julian castro who was denied entry into the facility.d not have an appointment for this visit. but he did say that he wanted to decriminalize entering the country between ports of entry. he repeated that call to repeal section 1325. now here is what hurd and castro had to say about this sta. >> the concept of open borders -- open borders is going to exacerbate the problem and it's not just refined to border towns dealing with it it's every other town having to deal with this. we should have -- we shall have laws. >> open borders is a republican talking point. and i don't buy the b.s. narrative that the women and children coming toward our southern border represent a national security threat. i am not going to criminalize desperation. if somebody is trying to traffic drugs or traffic humans, we already have laws for that. >> tomorrow we are expecting beto o'rourke here doing a rally outside the clint facility and on monday we expect a delegation from the house, including representative jaw keen castro, representative judy chu. veronica es

julian castro laid out his vision.y booker's numbers are exploding this morning, neither one of them really took much opportunity to hit their fellow people. i think the toughest job tonight is joe biden. everyone in the world knows joe biden. but you just had the mayor of new york city on your show and he has the attack that everyone's going to make tonight, which is your yesterday's policies. what do you now stand for? biden has to not take those moments, he can't worry about people hitting him. he's got to look at the american people and lay out a very clear agenda on what he wants to do as president and associate himself with the future and not just the past with barack obama. and i think it's going to be really hard when you're going to have at least bernie wailing away at him. he's got to stay really focused. >> and rick tyler, what about bernie sanders? you expect he'll be going after joe biden? >> i think it benefits both bernie sanders and joe biden to be essentially debating each other and ignoring everybody

and i don't think it came out of -- it was nice to hear julian castro talk about it.s nice that savannah guthrie put the question, got the conversation going. i wish we would have gotten into more specifics not just we don't like what donald trump is doing. we need to do better. >> the children are staying there longer than they're supposed to be staying, months at a time in some cases. why not address those very specific questions that are going on right now? >> i completely agree. >> jose diaz ballart brought up that father and young daughter who died trying to cross the rio grande. we saw the terrible images yesterday. the president mentioned it a bit yesterday. it was kind of, though, going after asylum seekers. then he said this. he offered growing praise for australia. australia has a hard line asylum seeker policy and the president, of course, is headed to the g20. i want to share what he wrote. he's going to be meeting with australia's prime minister. he writes these flyers depict australia's policy on illegal immigration. much can be learned, with an exclamat

. >> of the nonfront-runners, who is going to be tonight's julian castro?i think it's going to be michael bennet. he is very likeable. he is a very thoughtful person. he looks like a guy who's thinking. >> that's very interesting, and i keep thinking someone from the west. i am a montana someone, someone from the west is going to pop up. it's like come on. sarah gillibrand has not had sort of the moment yet either. she is very smart and very talented, so we will see. >> i mean, has she just been damaged by this donor community issue with al franken? you know this donor community well, stephanie. has that been the hardest part of this for her? >> there's definitely rumbles around that. i think we have all heard that. but we're also 125 peop25 peoplg for president. so this is just tough. >> it's just starting his podcast now. >> he is slowly getting back into public life. >> humbly, which is very important. with real moral humility is the only way you can do it. >> this was a great way to start. chris, are you having fun? >> i love this midnight stuff. >> chr

julian castro joins us now. thank you for joining us this morning. let's start out with the first president to stand on the north korea soil. would president castro have made the same move? >> look, i'm all for speaking with our adversaries, but what's happened here is that this president has raised the profile of a dictator like kim jong-un, and now three times visited with him unsuccessfully, because he's doing it backward. usually what happens, as you know george, that there's an intense amount of staff work that goes into negotiating how one of these talks will go. so you hopefully can get something out of it. we haven't gotten anything out of it. after they had the first summit, the singapore summit, he told the american people that north korea was no longer a threat. then after that, they continued to test their nuclear weapons. and they haven't even abided by one of the commitments that they made originally which was to given a inventory of their nuclear stockpile. so, you know, it's worrisome that this president erratically sets up a meeting w

i think people will remember elizabeth warren, cory booker and julian castro more than the rest. but what was missing is there was not a lot of attacks on donald trump. >> i noticed that. >> i would argue that you should sell yourself but you've also got to sell why we are removing an incumbent and why you are uniquely qualified to take on that fight. people know that donald trump's going to fight. while i'm watching you, i'm also saying can this person go up against trump. and they didn't show any ability to really take him on. >> and you've been up on that stage. it is harder than it looks. the pressure's on. >> oh, yeah. >> you have all this stuff running through your head that every expert told you. did you get the impression some of these candidates got so much advice don't go for trump, everybody's going to do that and nobody did it. >> i think everybody was advised don't go after trump. they've got all of this in your head. you're talking to advisers, not inside political junkies. you're talking to people. people especially independent voters need to be convinced we can't

i mentioned julian castro. he broke out on the issue of immigration and it wasn't just about castro rising but beto o'rourke falling down. he was media darling on the cover of vanity fair, the next barack obama but he has struggled in nearly days and tonight on issues like immigration he was not quite prepared. >> it is a mistake and i think if you truly want to change the system we have to repeal that section. if not -- >> let me respond to this. is member of congress i helped introduce legislation that would ensure we don't criminalize those seeking asylum. >> what would you do on day one to deal with the border crisis? the castro was talking about a section of law he would change that would decriminalize border crossings, that is very controversial but he mean something specific, aurora never quite answered what he would specifically do. interesting because while castro may have done well on immigration, j inslee, the governor of washington state came out swinging on abortion rights and said no one on the sta

una nueva encuesta nacional de noticias univisiÓn muestra juliÁn castro en el tercer lugar de la intenciÓnl, y en mi tierra, en un restaurante que sabemos que visita frecuentemente. >> hace poco mi esposa y yo celebramos el dÉcimo aniversario de nuestra primera cita. me encanta volver acÁ. reportero: ¿ha sentido rechazo en algÚn momento por no hablar espaÑol con fluidez? sÉ que habla espaÑol, ¿pero se ha sentido rechazado en ese sentido? >> hablo un poco espaÑol y lo entiendo mejor de lo que hablo. estoy practicando y mejorando mi espaÑol, pero todavÍa prefiero hablar inglÉs. entiendo inglÉs mejor que espaÑol. donde mÁs he escuchado este comentario sobre que no tengo dominio total del espaÑol no es de la comunidad latina. es de la comunidad anglo. en cierta Época, nuestros abuelos y nuestros padres, a ellos se les decÍa que no eran lo suficientemente buenos porque no hablaba suficiente inglÉs. ahora estÁn diciendo " no eres lo suficientemente bueno porque no hablas espaÑol lo suficientemente bien". reportero: parte de la crÍtica a los demÓcratas es que no tienen una respuesta a " construye

julian castro believes that they should decriminalize border crossings. >> thank goodness for the korts, because they're on an out of control administration. instead of spending 2.5 billion on a wall most americans don't want, it will change the notion of a statue of liberty, a beacon to people of hope. >> in addition, he says he's continuing with the deportation raids that he delayed, initially gave democrats two weeks to come up with a bipartisan bill. >> and they passed a humanitarian bill, but doesn't address asylum reform. leland: joining us from texas, the finances and judiciary committee, sylvia. we appreciate you spending a sunday to us-- a saturday with us, got ahead of myself looking forward to the weekend. let's start with this. you voted against in bill and that was in the words of "the washington post," the most embarrassing defeat for nancy pelosi in six months since democrats took over the chamber. quote, schumer destroyed all of our leverage on wednesday by not being able to hold his people. do you agree with that? >> well, i think what the senate bill does is-- it doesn

secretary julian castro. very interesting, secretary castro.ight, so julian castro was obama's housing secretary, mayor of san antonio. widely perceived, i think, i don't think this is controversial to say, to have way overperformed expectations in this debate, both because of his fund-raising and his polling coming into this, i don't think people expected him to be a standout candidate on either night, but he definitely was. i think part of that was his eloquence and his seriousness. but what i want to play here is actually not one of his eloquent soundbites. i want to play a clip of him basically starting a fight and taking out his home state rival, another young texan congressman beto o'rourke. secretary castro is an even keel, very serious, you know, sober guy, and i'm not sure anybody expected him to bring the fire like he did. this is part of how he elevated his profile on the stage. this is basically him being shot out of a cannon at the rest of the field. i think this is why he was such a wow factor in the debate. >> let me respond to t

julian castro was your winner of the night.on. >> i disagree with decriminalization of illegal immigrants. i'm an immigrant myself. i came to this country 57 years ago but i came legally. i agree with president trump that immigration should be merit-based and people should be properly vetted. why are they thinking letting anybody into this country [inaudible] >> just like beto. speaking spanish. todd: thank you very much. domingo, you are a controller at a bank. warren was your winner. beto was your loser. why? >> warren was the winner because she has the most name recognition nobody else really stood out. beto was the loser because he was pandering to the hispanic vote trying to speak spanish. todd: thank you. finally deanna, also a grandmother, sources haven't yet told me whether you are in real estate or not. we will figure that out later. you said you wish the moderators challenged the candidates more, why? >> absolutely. i think they were very weak in their questions. they didn't follow up with tough questions. i just thin

we spoke with julian castro in our last hour and joining us now is presidential candidate beto o'rourke. congressman, great to see you. have you had any sleep yet? >> not a lot. >> great to have you. former secretary castro went after you, basically accusing you not knowing what you were talking about. after the debate he sat down with chris matthews and said it again. so let me just play that moment for you now. >> i think he was just misinformed. he probably hadn't done his homework and you'd have to ask him why that is. he was suggesting you needed to keep that law because we would need to be able to punish people who are drug trafficking or human trafficking. i agree we need to be able to punish them, but you know what? we already have laws that do it. >> congressman, what do you say to julian castro who said you just hadn't done your homework on it in. >> no one's work harder to end the practice of family separation. a year ago father's day we were at this infamous tent city housing children, many of whom had been separated from their parents, some of whom had been gauge caged, the

we saw that with julian castro. i do think what we just saw right there, though, when it comes to moments, that exchange is the real debate that we saw. and that's the kind of debate that we're going to see play out amongst these democrats, these 20-plus democrats over the next few months as they try to position themselves and try to gain bigger ground on their competitors. >> ron brownstein, you tweeted this. "bottom line on tonight's debate, this is a stage with many more potential cabinet officers than potential presidents" who among these cabinet officers stepped up? who to you won this night? >> well, i think that is the big point. i think that, you know, we have a democratic race that is tiered to a kind of striking extent early on, and i don't think anything tonight really fundamentally changed that. with a little nuance around the edge. i thought that julian castro and cory booker probably did the most to help themselves from where they are. i thought elizabeth warren was steady as she goes. and was fine in

he also sparred with former secreta secretary julian castro. the threat of the war with iran got attention and the stand up moment for gabbard. >> reporter: the sharp for the night reserves for president trump. >> i don't think we should conduct foreign policy in our bathrobe at 5:00 in the morning. >> reporter: everybody got a chance in the spotlight. it w nobody got more in the pact. ten more democrats await to take the stage tomorrow. >> reporter: the first hour of the debate focused on economy and healthcare and abortion and immigration. the second hour focused more on climate change and on gun control. we'll hear about some of the topics on the news at 11:00 tonight. live in miami. damian trujillo, nbc bay area news. >> interesting to see the spin going on right now. >>> okay, we got a lot to get to. this is more interesting than maybe we thought. >> by golly, a lot of them came out guns blaring. >> who stood out? we know elizabeth warren, who stood out and made a good name? >> reporte >> warren had a challenge and she had to maintain that

this is anna arebut clearly julian castro had a big night. >> woodruff: and stu, what's your sense of last night? any sense of the landscape shifted? >> i don't think so, judy.tw i'm n the both of you. i don't think anybody had a terrible night, thoh i think beto didn't do anything to enter the fray really. i think castro and boor and warren did quite well, but again, nothing dramatic. nobody hit a home run. nobody i think eliminated themselves. soe go on from here. >> woodruff: i do want to ask about this, elizabeth lubs opcly delared herself last knightley is a as supporting medicare for all, doing away with private insurance. as you noted in your scripd. >> that's right. that was a significant move. although many voters thought that was already her position, it is not a position she hd firmly taken yet. and it really was her trying say, not only do i already represent symbolically the progressive wing, but i am goitg ush even further on that agenda. it put the rest of the candidates i think, who d not raise their hand new york a difficult position of explaininu the moreced position

but that said, julian castro really i thought impressed me. don't think he's going to go anywhere. and i actually don't think booker really is able to bust through any of the noise. but he at least made a reason why he's running which a lot of these people did not. >> julian castro, is he going to be able to take what he did, get some text to stone from beto, is he going to be able to so that he can get into this top five or six? >> i think getting the number of donors, they were feeling very good on thursday morning. i saw him do a press avail, and he was confident and he said i'm the one who can actually win texas. i think he really wanted to prove that he was the dominant texas candidate. >> he did it. >> he did it. but now he has to build on that. it's a game of survivor right now. >> you're absolutely right. right now it is. hey, markos, good to see you. thanks for rushing in to see me. dan, jennifer, doug, you guys are all sticking around, and that i appreciate. >>> coming up the changing democratic party. whether you call it more progre
