ken paxton has been at the tip of the spear confronting this administration.ion? >> absolutely a proven track record of winning. during the obama days, i managed 13 million acres most of which are oil-producing, i thought the obama administration when they tried to take public and private land in north texas and one in the banks of the red river. i thought radical plans, to list under the endangered species act, the golden sheep warbler in west texas is try to shut down oil production. i've been successful in those efforts so i encourage your viewers to check my website to learn more about my vision but i would push back against the federal overreach. it has been harmful to texas values and the texas economy. maria: why haven't you signed on to the 7 lawsuits that are now in place? >> don't have standing at that office. i supporting theory those suits. what i won in the prior cases during the obama days when i have standing i jump in. i'm looking at a case where i get standing to force the federal government and deadbeat bureaucrats and dc politicians to build

joining me right now is texas attorney general, ken paxton, to talk more about this. you. thanks very much for being here. hasn't it been more than appropriate for this administration to see the situation on the ground with their own eyes? your reaction to kamala harris going to el paso. >> well, i was in shock because people have been calling for them to come down here for the entire time that they've been in office, just to get real live interviews with people, to see what's going on on the ground, just like you did. this would be like if the president of the united states asked you to be in charge of all media for the border and it took you 93 days to get down here to see what was going on. you came down here because you knew it was valuable to see what was going on on the ground. unfortunately, that's not what happened here. and i don't really understand the answers that they've given as to why they haven't been here. maria: well, it's interesting that president trump said that he's going to the border and then as soon as he got his date set to meet with governor

ken paxton if he runs, he's under investigation nearly his entire time in office.re are two candidates that are some what flawed. it is not an easy race but it does tell a tale of the republican party instead of candidates with principles leaving the party saying i am not part of that anymore, they cozy up to donald trump no matter what they have to sacrifice including family bonds and values. >> yeah, matthew, thank you very much. i appreciate your time. >> thanks erin. >>> breaking news, the longest serving leader in israeli's history. benjamin netanyahu. well, he's about to be out. gone. done. di >>> did covid originate in a lab? this question matters. i am going to talk to the secretary of state who investigated in the lab theory and ask him what he knows. raise the jar to all five layers. raise the jar to the best gelato... you've ever tasted. talenti. raise the jar. it would be cool to ride a horse on the moon. why choose proven quality sleep from sleep number? because a quality night's sleep is scientifically proven to help boost performance. introducing the

ken paxton said they were waiting for more ballots to come in and the mail-in ballots were a major problemrite about? mollie: actually what's interesting is a lot of reports of things stopped and in some cases publicly announced they were stopping the counting of ballots but they weren't stopping counting ballots which is a great concern because you want people are able to observe. that's what happened in atlanta when the media and observers were told that they were done before the night and they weren't done for the night and they kept counting. the whole problem with absentee voting we don't know how many ballots are out there. this is a big concern for people who care about election fraud because you need to be able to trust elections to have a republic and if you can't trust elections that's a threat to the republic. maria: that's absolutely right. mollie, thank you so much, that's the reason men and women go lose their lives overseas, mollie hemingway, we look forward to the book. i will talk tomorrow to secretary pompeo. see you tomorrow on mornings with maria. ♪ sgt. houston never e

look who's back with us, ken paxton. she went to el paso where the order will worked?glad she came, maybe she talks to people group maybe informed her what's going on bur el paso does have a pretty good fence that has worked. the price she could have gone was the rate of, i wish she went someplace where the actual immigrants are crossing in greater numbers speech of the vice president is he saying she went there because that's where the trump administration launched bad policies on the border like remain in mexico. is that true? >> i don't know her motivation, is on to me it took her so long to get back they basically have undone everything president trump had done to stop the crisis we had under obama and now we are back to something even worse than four years ago. elizabeth: kamala harris was accused of dodging questions today and she kind of snapped back at a reporter which was asked why it took so long. but watch kamala harris here. >> how you respond to republican's who safe you should have gone to the border where they are experiencing more problems? >> first of

tettorney general ken paxton is here with us. good afternoon to you, sir.just listened to. it is amazing. the smugglers know they're in a power position. they're totally taking advantage of it. that has happened since day one of this administration. >> you can't really make this stuff up. you wouldn't think it could possibly happen. bill was there on the border. he saw it happen. it happens every day and hapns all along our border. thousands of people coming across. there is no consequences there is no protection for the people along the border. even these migrants are putting all of their trust in the cartels. that is the last place we want them putting their trust. we need a system that works, that protects everybody. does not take care of the cartels. jackie: there was two billion dollars to finish the wall that is now since been reallocated by the administration. that is why texas governor is saying look, we're a border state. we have to do this ourselves. >> well, i love what the governor is doing. i've seen the wall that president trump was working on

voted against them after the mob and stormed the capital and of course texas attorney general ken paxton, who filed a case in the supreme court to block certification of the electoral results in other states. not because the italians were switching votes via satellite right? this became a republican tax across the board, taking the cringe-inducing insanity of president trump's conspiracy mongering and then trying to turn it to some kind of plausible constitutional theory they could use. oh, the states changed their voting laws too late and the constitution says that the state supreme court can't do that, that's why we're objecting not the satellite theory. again though, the aim was the same all oars were rowing in the same direction right? across the spectrum, overturn a democratic election and spell the end of the american experiment as we know it. that i mean that's it. put the loser in power over the winner in contravention of the popular will. that's a coup! they were trying to drive a stake through the heart of this country. they just missed barely. they're going to try again. all o

that brief was virtually identical to the insane lawsuit filed by texas attorney general ken paxton that was rejected by the supreme court already. active attorney general rosen refused that particular piece of insanity and all of the insanity which would've been thrown out by the supreme court even if the justice department did file. emails also revealed that donald trump's chief of staff, mark meadows, -- on at least five occasions to pursue what one of them called pure insanity. in one email, mark meadows sent jeffrey rosen iq to video length about an italian contractor using satellites to interfere with u.s. voting machines. jeffrey rosen, forwarded the email to acting deputy attorney general richard donahue who responded, quote, pure insanity. jeffrey rosen then replied that he refused to arrange a meeting between the fbi and ally brad johnson. writing, quote i know that johnson is working with giuliani who regretted my comments as an insult asked if i would reconsider. i flatly refused and said i would not be giving any special treatment to giuliani or any of his witnesses and reaf

led by the most legally unhinged attorney general in the united states, texas attorney general, ken paxtoncrushed the republican attorneys general today, saying that they did not even have the right to file that lawsuit. after the supreme court ruled today, president biden said his famous phrase once again in code in a tweet. with millions of people relying on the affordable care act for coverage it remains as ever, a -- and it is here to stay. so what happens now to the political party that has been lying to its voters for a decade that they are going to repeal and replace obamacare? joining us now is david plouffe former campaign manager and white house senior of visor to obama, he's an msnbc political analyst. david, this feels like, we never know, we never know but it feels like the last chapter of the republican attempt to get rid of the affordable care act. >> i think that's right, lawrence. that was the original big lie. they spent a decade essentially defined by the lie that they were going to get rid of the affordable care act, that then replace now by the efforts to destroy our d

before the election, texas attorney general ken paxton filed a dozen lawsuits to make voting in texas as difficult as he could. this weekend, he told steve bannon the reason he stopped everyone in the largest county in texas from automatically being sent a mail-in ballot in the midst of a once in a century pandemic is cutting off the voter access is what preserves the state for donald trump. >> it was a concerting effort, nationally, with lots of money going into it, and just knowing that we had 12 lawsuits that we had to win, and if we had lost one of them, if we lost harris county, trump won by 620,000 votes in texas. harris county mail-in ballots that they wanted to send out with 2.5 million. we were able to stop every one of them. had we not done that, we would be in the same situation we were in on election nights. i was watching election night and i knew when i saw what was happening in the other states, that would have been texas. we would have been one of the battleground states they were counting votes in harris county for three days and donald trump would have lost the elect

republicans will find another way to challenge this law at some point n fact, texas attorney general ken paxton for president joe biden this is a major win since his administration asked the supreme court to let the law stand and the court found a procedural way to make that happen here. conservative justice alito was joined by justice gorsuch writing a dissent expressing exasperation at the court saying the court has pulled off an improbable rescue and some think shutting the door on any future challenges at the supreme court but we shall see. >> thank you for that report. >>> another victory at the u.s. supreme court for gel russ groups. the justices unanimously siding thursday with a catholic foster care agency that refused to work with same-sex couples. chief justice john roberts writing for six of the nine justices writing the contract between the city of philadelphia and the agency forbids discrimination, but it allows the city to make exceptions and that was the key here, the decision marking the third time this term that the high court has ruled in favor of religious institutions. >>> n

they -- i think, there were a total of 17 that co-signed with ken paxton. he is a texas attorney general. he led the suit. he wrote it and filed it back in december. and you might remember -- viewers might remember -- that the suit got dismissed after three days in a ruling that was like two or three sentences long from the supreme court and said you don't have standing, you can't bring this. but paxton led it. and then, you had a number of members of the house, republicans, that signed on to it. >> yep. >> and, you know, steve scalise is one of them. and so, all three of them signed on to this suit. but yeah, you are right. there's been a lot of news over the past year. sort of aligning itself with, you know, further and further to the right with those type of politics. they were pretty involved in the efforts to challenge election results. >> this is great reporting. boeing, if you guys thought that no one would notice, we did. roger sullenberger did. he wrote it up. so there you go. we know what the company stands for. thank you, roger, i appreciate it.

just last week texas attorney general ken paxton went on steve bannon's podcast to say if the state hadould have lost it. what do you make of this movement to audit every state? are you worried about texas? >> texas definitely does not pass the smell test when it comes to our actions with respect to securing an open ballot and equitable voting rights for all texans. it was very disturbing news to hear, and i am very appreciative of the attorney general, u.s. attorney general t merrick garland,'s efforts to oversee and to be proactive and aggressive in protecting voting rights despite what u.s. congress does on this issue. texas needs help. it is not lost on me as a central texas legislator that over 50 years ago lyndon baines johnson, championed the civil rights act and now here we are all these decades later trying to protect those very same rights, and again calling on washington for help. >> thank you very much for that perspective. texas state representative gina hinojosa, thank you for getting up early. >>> ahead, for all of you, voters get the first crack of who they want to be th

ken paxton tells us the administration sends the migrants to red states and the cost is on those states well, it is. it was the first question i asked. by the way, they put that facility in midland texas in the cover of darkness with zero coordination with the state of texas, zero coordination with our community. my first question is who is going to pay for the hospital visits. inevitably, it's 700 children in the facility, some will have to go to the hospital. as of friday, 41 had to go to the hospital, $206,000 that has not been repaid. you knows what they told me? they said, well, we need to identify these kids right now. we have a problem identifying who these kids are. we need to identify, that the claim is who they say they are. can we not do that on our elections and make sure we he identify people. the hypocrisy is -- maria: you can't identify them. they don't have id. they just crossed the rio grande. thank a you very much. august pfluger joining us there. we'll be right back. and plans for a long weekend. at thrivent, we believe money is a tool, not a goal. to learn more, text
