maria: welcome back, we are back with texas attorney general ken paxton, ag paxton, we were talking aboutming you and blaming florida for the increasing numbers of covid. your response. >> he doesn't have any credibility left with me. he's -- he's lecturing us, texas and florida, and americans on vaccines and on masks and yet he's allowing illegal immigration with covid coming across our border every day by the thousands and so it's hard for me to believe in what he's saying when he is openly allowing people to cross the borders and then go all around the country with covid. maria: yeah, i know that you have breaking news on the endorsements that you're getting for defending texas border. tell me about that as well as how you try to rein in democrats who try to obstruct justice by leaving just when you were trying to vote on the texas new voting law, the law is being criticized, increasing hours to vote during early voting and having an id to vote. >> well, i really appreciate the endorsement from tom and mark, they are the leaders on immigration in the country during trump administration

let's bring in now texas attorney general ken paxton. great to have you in focus today.f all, your reaction to the amount of drugs that are coming. and drugs don't walk, they have to be carried by these people crossing our border. >> i'm not surprised. these border agents aren't able to do their jobs. they are more focused on logistics of taking care of people coming across the border and where they'll go. the drug trade and cartels have tremendous opportunities thanks to the policy of the biden administration. i'm sure they know this. they accept that as part of their plan. so this is not surprising and we will see a lot more drugs coming across the border as the policies of the biden administration are implemented to a greater extent. >> harris: i want to focus on hypocrisy now. it's a thing for me during this hour of the day. when you talk about the flow of drugs people are taking them and getting addicted. it's part of healthcare, yet this administration is said to be focused on healthcare. i don't know how you let one thing come and make situations worse and not foc

and the governor and the attorney general, ken paxton, tried to get basically to an end run on the courts and asked, say, the supreme court to intervene immediately to block all of these local mask mandates. what the state supreme court said today was, no, you have to go through the regular process. you have to go through the appellate level before we will weigh in. strikingly, don, on the same day, today, that that happened, the texas educational agency said they will not enforce governor abbott's ban on mask mandates until all the litigation is done. you take those two things together, it could be a signal that some republicans, certainly the republicans -- the state supreme court is entirely republicans -- are looking for a way off the ledge that the governor has -- you know, has moved the party to on this. by the way, this comes as the county judge, in effect, the county supervisor in dallas county announced a few days ago that there were literally no pediatric icu beds available in north texas, and the head of the north texas medical center in houston said 20% of their cases are kids

attorney general ken paxton, republican, says superintendent pedro martinez is deliberately violatingtaking the time this morning. >> thank you for having me, jim. >> so governor abbott's order says, i'm quoting from it, no governmental entity can compel any individual to receive a covid-19 vaccine administered under an emergency use authorization. now we have the fda giving full approval to the pfizer vaccine. does that change the legal calculus here at all for you? >> you know, for me it was never a political decision, jim. >> yeah. >> and we've been open in our schools for two weeks. we had a mask requirement as well as now a vaccine mandate. we were an ticipating we would get fda approval for the pfizer drug. but we have to be leaders. we have to lead by example. i applaud all my colleagues and all of us are fighting together on making sure our children are safe but we have to look ahead. and i believe that we need to have our children and our staff vaccinated if we'll have a successful year this year. >> i mean, you note the politics and the fact is the politics have been part of

in fact our unguided attorney general, ken paxton, explained on public radio that but for his successfulat's where houston is located, but for his successful effort there, trump would have lost texas. now we see, you just went through the provisions of the bill that we killed in our last session. now we see that that is in the bill and it would have made it a felony for our county to do that. we know their motives. they say them out loud. they're not even ashamed anymore by their effort to suppress the voice of the people. >> let me play this for you. this is lauren windsor, who's done a lot of these videos where she catches them telling the truth. here she is talking about what you just said. >> pass the bill with harris county, our largest county with houston, they made all these changes to the election code. >> they're going to lose seats, they're not going to gain seats next time. they're not going to take over, they're going to erode. we're going to make sure we come back with more republicans. >> i'm in a real red district. but i don't want to get primaried. >> do you think that av

consider the fact texas attorney ken paxton's office spent 22,000 hours looking for voter fraud in 2020e addresses on registration forms according to "the houston chronicle". nearly 17 million voters are registered in texas, and seemingly adjacent to the news from texas yesterday another development, equally out of touch with reality. the supreme court pulled the rug out from under renters blocking the cdc from enforcing president biden's federal moratorium on evictions. from "the new york times", quote, the decision puts hundreds of thousands of tenants at risk of losing shelter while the administration struggles to speed the flow of billions of dollars in federal funding to people who are behind in rent because of coronavirus pandemic and its associated economic hardship. joining us now is julian castro, former secretary of housing and urban development and former mayor of san antonio, now the host of "our america" podcast. and ally mistal is also here. i'm going to start with this. we talked about this several weeks ago on my podcast on slate. this eviction moratorium is an absolute

he took to twitter after he and the texas attorney general ken paxton petitioned the fifth court of appealsecutive order, including austin, san antonio and houston, pending school board approval. lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are coming down on big tech and their app stores, a new bill aims to lessen apple and google's dominance over how users download apps and make in-app purchases, it opens the marketplace to third party developers and that would dent the hefty submissions. at&t near a deal to buy tmz. the deal would value the site and tv show between 100 and $125 million. tmz already a familiar presence on fox, it carries its daily tmz tv program. shares of both companies fractionally higher this morning. jetblue is not letting delta dampen its first foray into the transatlantic service, the airline is launching its first flight from new york to london this week. the u.k. only opened to fully vaccinated americans a few days ago. a one-way ticket from jfk to me throw at as low -- heathrow as low at $212. pretty risky to do that as the delta variant surges. maria: all right, lauren,

attorney general ken paxton double the amount of hours spent on fraud cases in this cycle, 22,000 hours, yet only charged 16 -- 16 -- cases, minor cases, none of which resulted in jail time. representative collier, what do you make of the argument that prosecutors simply do not have the tools to uncover massive voter fraud. ms. collier: there isn't widespread voter fraud. that is the response. the aclu did a study and found 72% of the investigations by the texas attorney general, who by the ways under indictment for fraud himself, securities fraud himself, have been lodged against people of color, black and brown individuals. when you have a bill that creates new criminal penalties against potential voters, the only conclusion we can reach is that those would be targeted against people of color. representative norton: what are your thoughts about how the aggressive prosecution of voter fraud as already affected voters of color. ms. collier: in the law, there is no intent. did i have the intent to defraud? that is not even a question. it is whether the act was completed. so the state of

dagen: texas attorney general ken paxton told maria yesterday on sunday morning futures that there areion about how to stop the flow of migrants. listen to this, brandon. >> i talked to border patrol agents, i talked to high level border patrol agents, they say there are no discussions with the biden administration about actually stopping illegal immigration, just dealing with the logistics. and that's exactly what they're being told to do, that's what they are doing and they can't help but do that because there's so many people, you mentioned the numbers, the highest we've ever had and unfortunately the cartels are getting even better at transporting people and transporting drugs across our border. dagen: you agree with that, brandon? >> well, i do. right now the joke is that we're the welcome patrol. we're not the border patrol. we're no longer you law enforcement agency that's out there enforcing the laws. what we're doing is we're taking people into custody, we're processing them, we're releasing them into the united states. again, we're not enforcing the laws of the united states.

in texas, attorney general ken paxton filed a court action to strike down mask mandates.schools and officials who enact mask mandates risk a $1,000 fine. joining us now, the mayor of san antonio, texas, ron nuremburg who is challenging texas governor greg abbott's authority to suspend local emergency orders during the pandemic. mr. mayor, thanks for being with us this morning. why did you take this action? >> well, good morning. we took the action because we have now thousands of students who are under 12 and families around them that are now being forced into closed quarters, going back to school, which they should be doing. but they aren't eligible for vaccines. so we're trying to do everything we can to protect them and to do as the other communities are trying to do and keep their schools opened. we want to make sure schools are healthy, af safe environments so we can get back to a strong opening and get this delta variant under control where it is surging through our communities right now. our hospitals are simply overwhelmed, stretched past their limits, not just in
