o'rourke. mr. o'rourke: mr. speaker, on onday of this week, i was in mcallen, texas. a beautiful community comprised of some incredibly courageous, strong, kind-hearted people in the rio grande valley in the state of texas. connected by the rio grande river to renosa, mexico. forming one of these extraordinary binational communities that distinguish our connection with mexico, with the state of texas, for the united states of america. and i was able to visit the border patrol station in mcallen, texas, which is the busiest border patrol station in the country. and i happened to be there during the busiest shift during that day in that busy station. and i was able to spend some time with the amazing women and men of the border patrol. who have one of the toughest jobs that i can imagine, of keeping our country safe, of protecting our communities and the families within our communities. and of meeting those who are at their most desperate, most vulnerable moment in their lives. people who have fled terror and violence, death and -- death in their countries to come to ou

congressman o'rourke, thank you very much for joining us tonight.ice to have you here. >> thanks for having me on. i appreciate it. >> i know where you were yesterday and you're here in new york today. what were you hoping to achieve with this tornillo march on father's day? >> you want to bring this to everyone's attention because some people say, this is not us, we would never do this, this isn't america. >> yeah. >> but we're doing this right now. it's being done in our name. and this is america. and so with 24 hours' notice we asked people to come out, bear witness in tornillo, not an easy place to get to. more than 1,000 came from not just el paso and new mexico, but from all over texas. salt lake city, denver. joe kennedy from boston, massachusetts. and they were there to make sure that we could answer this question. who is this country? in a better way than we are right now. we're not a country that is going to take kids from their parents after they have survived a 2,000-mile journey, fleeing the most brutal, the most violent, the deadliest

some say beto o'rourke is gaining steam against ted cruz.oining me now, juan williams, fox news political analyst and co-host of "the five." glad to have you here. on the whole beto o'rourke thing and ted cruz got more votes of all the democratic candidates combined. i felt like this is impossible that ted cruz could lose. am i wrong? >> it's not impossible. there's enough democrats in texas that he could lose. that's what his team is worried about. ted cruz should win. it could be a close race. >> beto o'rourke the kind of candidates that democrats should be looking for towards their future hopes and maybe not this election but the coming years? maybe they can pick up steam there? >> i don't know. when you think back to the democratic primary, beto o'rourke squeezed by. it was a surprise to a lot of people. he had established his backing. the money didn't flow in the way that alex would be accustomed to for the leading candidate. the question is if he has that kind of appeal to energy the democrats that are necessary to turn out in large nu

we still have time. >> beto o'rourke. thank you very much for your time. >> thank you. >> that is "all in" for this evening.

congressman o'rourke in texas, thank you so much, sir.your time. >> happy father's day. >> to you as well, sir. >>> president trump doubling down, blaming democrats for splitting up fa is he planning to leverage the outrage to get a deal on the wall? that's next. polk county is one of the counties that you don't think about very much. it's really not very important. i was in the stone ages as much as technology wise. and i would say i had nothing. you become a school teacher for one reason, you love kids. and so you don't have the same tools, you don't always believe you have the same... outcomes achievable for yourself. when we got the tablets, it changed everything. by giving them that technology and then marrying it with a curriculum that's designed to have technology at the heart of it, we are really changing the way that students learn. and i can't wait for ten years from now when i get to talk to them again and see, like, w they are. ♪ red lobster's lobster & shrimp hesummst is back! yeah. get all the lobster and shrimp you crave, t

bethel o'rourke should never even have made a dentd in the political conversation.about him, i think speaks volumes of the kind of dent that democrats have made and the kind of numbers that we have been able to rack up in the last elections because we have been able to really shrink the margins in places where democrats should never be in play. for example, connor's seat in pennsylvania, look at what happened in alabama, the enthusiasm, there's no question that it's on the democratic side. but let me address one thing. >> we're short on time and i do want to get this little tidbit in as well. in california, it is noteworthy that you look at the registrations of voters and republicans have slid into third, there are more registered democrats and more registered independents than registered republicans. steve, do you worry at all about that becoming a national trend? >> listen, it's possible, the republican party, i'll be real honest here, the republican party is in search of its soul. because you have people like senator corker, a invested interest in washington, d.c

[ applause ] that's a big one. we needed to get that. military's going to be stronger, bigger, better than it ever was before. hopefully we won't have to use it very much, but the fcthaweha probably won't have to use it as much. i want to thank all of the great people in the audience who helped us so much. on december 22n which doesn't quite fit into the january 1st date, but on december 22nd, we signed the biggest tax cuts in the history of our country. that's a big one. and we got $1.6 billion. we've already

beto o'rourke represents a stretch of the border around el paso, texas running to unseat ted cruz. what is your understanding where things stand now as someone who serves in the united states congress. >> the crisis before us as you pointed out is that we have upwards of 2,500 children who have been taken from their parents after parent and child survived a 2,000-mile journey the length of mexico. made it to this country just when they thought they had found shelter and asylum and safety, the trauma visited upon those kids they're still enduring till we can get them together with their parents. it's unclear if the administration dysdoing at all to make sure that they are reunited. temporarily at least they'll stop taking kids from parents but this idea to build out 20,000 beds for additional days and months and maybe years of detention shows that this administration, the president admitted it today is using these punitive traumatic measures to try to deter essentially lawful asylum seeking on the part of people leaving the most dangerous countries in the world and one thing i've go
