they viewed it with some anger, and they went after him, o'rourke, pretty hard. >> beto o'rourke wantsgative ads, the reyes campaign unearthed beto's past. >> he has a criminal record that includes dwi and burglary arrests. >> reyes was seizing on the arrest record, the implication i think was that beto was irresponsible. and reyes was a steady hand. >> the video publicly intoxicated being spanked. >> this video shows beto kind of on the floor dancing or writhing or whatever you want to call it. reyes' own advisers say you're looking petty, don't do that, but he continued to keep it up. >> beto's campaign fired back and went negative. >> beto's campaign seized on these reports that reyes had been giving positions and money to the people in his family. nothing that was illegal, but stuff that seemed a little too cozy. >> as the race tightened, a stroke of legislative luck hit beto's campaign. congressional redistricting delayed the primary two months. beto took full advantage and campaigned relentlessly. >> he was moving the needle every day. i could see it. i could feel it. >> the hard

o'rourke: good question.o provide the context, the commonwealth and in texas, you can be fired based in your sexual orientation. cps so badly funded that kids were sleeping on top of desks. adoptn be too gay to those kids into your home. if you have killed someone of the same sex because they came on to you at a bar. we just debated a transgender bathroom bill. seriously, after all of the shit -- sorry, the stuff that happens. [laughter] mr. o'rourke: this microphone is not working. all the stuff that happened in north carolina. parents aboute transgender children though transgender children are more likely to be the victims, not the perpetrators of an attack. this president turning his back on the surface of transgender we don't noters, know how many times they have sacrificed their lives, how many times they have saved the lives of others. at every turn in this country's history, we said if we integrate the armed forces by race, it would make us weaker, by sexual orientation, it will make us weaker -- it ha

o'rourke: the el paso rhinos.ou would not expect to find a hockey team in the chihuahua desert, and yet there we are. i oppose capital punishment. [applause] mr. o'rourke: i briefly, because we touched on some of this earlier, because we lock up more people than any other country per capita because they are divided.tionately end to thean prohibition on marijuana and talking about expunging the arrest records for those in possession of something that you will not die from. i do not think you can become addicted. in many cases, it alleviates the symptoms of conditions that you would be prescribing opioids to treat. expunge those arrest reference -- records. toby should be making a profit by locking people up. to the capital to argue for mandatory minimums. these are the places to start. if we follow the lead of houston, texas and stop cash fails so that you are not too poor to get out of jail, i think it will be making some progress. conclusion --y in i begin this way and i will end this way. [speaking spanish] come

o'rourke: alexandria, how mr. o'rourke: alexandria, how are we doing? good to see you.hank you very much. gracias. thank you for having us out. to our friends who made the trip from our nations capital, the future state of washington dc, we are grateful that you made the trip. and to the councilmember here in alexandria, for your service over the last 104 days. as a new member of the city council here, for welcoming us, for putting this great group of people here together in your community. for greeting us with your father and with your wife, aj, we are grateful to you now and forever. thank you. [applause] mr. o'rourke: this has been an extraordinary visit to the commonwealth of virginia over these last two days. i got to meet so many extraordinary people who are doing so much for this commonwealth, and by extension, our country. in 2017, when we were thinking about running for senate and then began a campaign, not a single dime from a single political action committee.

this time, it was former congressman beto o'rourke holding a cown hall in san francisco. while polls show that he has that a challenge ahead in this crowded field of democrats, he drew a big crowd of his own. christie smith joins us now live to explain. christie? >> reporter:r: certainly, beto o'rourke had an enthusiastic crowd here in san francisco. people excited to finally hear him speak in person but many did tell us that ultimately they're still trying to figure out who their candidate choice will be. but people lined up very early this morning here in san francisco. some with beto 2020 shirts on. others just looking for a democratic candidate to choose. o'rourke was late arriving in san francisco but quickly shared lives of his life in texas and touched on immigration, gun violence, climate change, voting rights and social and economic inequality. >> in this country right now we have a crisis in our economy that works too well for too few. and not well enough for too many. >> i'm definitely considering him but i haven't made up my mind. >> he joins a crowded group l

. >>> a huge crowd turns out to see democratic presidential candidate beto o'rourke. what he says separates him from the rest of the field. hi there, i am dion green. d dion limb. >> i am eric thomas. >> now, beto o'rourke is setting his house eye on the white hous. >> we'll meet these challenges for one another and the next generation. it was a packed house to see him in san francisco and ask questions of the candidate. o'rourke addresses big issues. >> reporter: a line wrapped around multiple corners clearly spell out the anticipation for -- >> ladies and gentlemen, the next president of the united states, beto o'rourke. >> reporter: he's on a tour making his round to california since announcing his canndidacy. >> we have a country where tens or afford medication or take their child to the therapist so that she's well enough to learn and school. >> o'rourke touched on the big issues like immigration reform and healthcare and his explosive texas senate race believed to be a long shot. he sets a record for the most votes cast for a democrat in the hstory of texas. >>

stops than beto o'rourke.esterday three different tv markets and give you an idea he is hitting six different cities in virginia starting in the southern most part of the state in norfolk and making his way up to alexandria. i want to introduce you to one of the voters here. this is sarah and i think she gives us a pretty good idea of the break down of why these conversations are tough to look. your top three. >> beto o'rourke, bernie sanders and third kamala harris and cory booker. >> what are you looking for from each? >> accountability for each of the candidates. i think beto brings the vitality to the movement. bernie just has a proven track record since his college days and if i'm being honest, kamala and cory, i can relate to them on a personal level because i am a black woman and they understand and they can e empathize. >> they are here and they're looking for their own democratic nominee. this is faith on my right and you're 26 years old and you told me you have not voted in the past but donald trump

but beto o'rourke - -- >> people see that. they're very part. it's the cartels, the coyotes, you wouldn't believe these people, they're tough vicious, smart, street smart and cunning and they know the system better than the people that wrote it. the people in congress have no clue. and look, we have some great republicans that are dying to get this done. they'll do anything to get it done. it's so simple. i mean, we change four or five rules and we have to change the a asylum rules. people come up, thes rough gang members and stand next to a lawyer that they have who they pick up, i guess the lawyers get paid by the dozen. and they stand there and they read a statement that the lawyer hands them. this is great danger, i am afraid for my life, i'm afraid for my country and being in my country and they say oh, that's wonderful. you look at the guy and you wouldn't want to fight him. this guy is not afraid of anything. you see pictures of him coming up, he's carrying a flag from honduras or guatemala or he'll sell havelsalvador. they are waving the

>>> democratic presidential candidate beto o'rourke greets a crowd of supporters as he makes a campaign stop in san francisco. >> >> this is ktvu fox2 news at 6. >> good evening, everyone. >> another democratic presidential candidate visits the bay area. beto o'rourke, a former texas congressman held a rally in san francisco this afternoon. >> it is a very crowded field of democratic presidential hopefuls. we did speak to a family member of beto o'rourke who says it did not come as a surprise to people close to him that he would run. by the size of his crowd, it appears that he is holding his own in this race. >> ladies and gentlemen, the next president of the united states, beto o'rourke. >> beto o'rourke gained national notoriety when he ran for the texas senate seat against the republican incumbent ted cruz. many were hoping he would run for president. >> the number of times during the senate campaign people would matter to me or say to him why are you not running for president? why are you not running for president? he would say because i am running for senator. it brought up so muc

have you bet beto o'rourke? none of this is like trump and i think we can be too cute by half when we're trying to compare these guys to each other. >> stick around. growing concerns about access to the president at his favorite get wii way after a woman is arresteded allegedly lying her way into mar-a-lago. why at least one agent is worried. then big change blowing into the windy city. the wind that is shaking up the machine in chicago. stay with us. with retirement planning and advice for what you need today and tomorrow. because when you're with fidelity, there's nothing to stop you from moving forward. you wouldn't accept an incomplete job from any one else. why accept it from your allergy pills? flonase sensimist relieves all your worst symptoms, including nasal congestion, which most pills don't. and all from a gentle mist you can barely feel. flonase sensimist. you can barely feel. the follow up cat scan showed that it had gone to her liver. we needed a second opinion. that's when our journey began with c

beto o'rourke has been successful at raising money. is there a secret for him at this point? >> we have money here and we give it out rather generously. one fourth of the contributors to o'rourke's senate campaign last year came from california. there's the connection many people exist between o'rourke and -- he's looking for o doubt about it. will they be happy with him? we have a californian running already, kamala harris. he's been clear on gun control and clear on deferred action for dreamers,he it comes to issues like climate change, he hasn't been forthcoming. >> coming up, a quarterback speaking about the issue of concussion and the message he's sending to families of young athletes. >> and speaking of the weekend, all that heat has moved on. instead we've got cloudy skies, cool temperatures on your saturday evening. we'll let you know how long the clouds will stick around. warni police tonight. take a look at their twt.d to p stop to violent side shows. you're looking at video of a destructive side show caught on camera earlier this month. police say they were outnumb

o'rourke had only been in the race for 18 days..4 million stretched out over that 18-day period. it works out to half a million dollars per day if you were to break it out over the average. the campaign says their average donation was $43 peridot nation and 98% people who gave, gave less than $200. it would put o'rourke in third place in money raised in the first quarter. you can't make that apples to apples comparison given that bernie sanders, kamala harris, who would be in first and second place, were in the race for longer than o'rourke has been. if you look at the pacing, we know that the o'rourke campaign raised $6 million in their first 24 hours. they raised a million dollars in the last weekend. you see a bit of a slowdown in between. a very strong number for the o'rourke campaign. >> can you compare it apples to apples. if you look at bernie sanders 18 million, kamala 12, pete buttigieg, 7, they were all in the race for a different amount of time. how do you normalize it and compare them to one another? >> yeah, that's exa

beto o'rourke will be in the bay area today. the presidential candidate will hold a townhall in san francisco. doors open at 11:15 this morning. it's all part of o'rourke's swing four days long through california. he kicked it off earlier yesterday in los angeles. >>> a shoutout from president trump to the newest 49ers star. he congratulated nick poe sa on being number two in the nfl draft. he said bosa will be a great player for years to come, maybe even one of the best. the president encouraged bosa to stay true to himself. though some 49ers fans are thrilled to have him on the field, others wonder if he is a good fit for the team. he posted controversial and political statements, including admiration for president trump. he called former 49 er colin kaepernick a clown. all the tweets have since being deleted. after being drafted he said he was insensitive in the past and has since learned a lot. 7:10. much more coming up. we will take you live to washington, d.c. for our weekly interview with the host of "meet the press". >>>

. >> reporter: beto o'rourke gained national notoriety when he ran for the texas senate seat against ted cruz. he lost but the close race had many hoping he'd run for president. >> i work for him in texas at a senate campaign and the number of times during that senate campaign people would mutter to me or say to him while you're not running for president, he would say because i'm running for sender. it caught on so much during the texas campaign that it was not a surprise that's the question was something he was going to think about.>> reporter: on sunday several hundred came out in san francisco to hear him speak on the issues they care about. such as a plan to achieve universal healthcare.>> it's called medicare for america, it says the tens of millions of our fellow americans who have no care at all right now, and roll them in medicare immediately. secondly if you have an substantial care, cannot afford your premiums, your co-pays, the size of your deductible you can elect to move over to medicare and we will make sure you can do that if you have employer-sponsored insurance that

some made up their mind wanting beto o'rourke to be in the white house 2020. out. at the moment there are so many options. >> reporter: a line wrapped around multiple corners spell out the anticipation fo for -- ladies and gentlemen, it is beto o'rourke! >> reporter: beto o'rourke is on a town hall tour making his first round in california. no help from special interest or lobbyists or pacts. >> we have a country where tens of millions can't see a doctor or afford medication or take their child to the therapist so she's well enough to learn in school. >> reporter: o'rourke touched on immigration reform and healthcare and he set a record for the most votes cast for a democrat in texas history. he took questions from the crowd in english and spanish. he was asked about holding law enforcement accountable? >> i was not super impressed with him but his answers were more specifics than i expected so i was impressed. >> i loved everything he said about immigration and how well coming he is to every single person. >> it is unclear to me whether he's going to gravitat

you have pete buttigieg in there now taking up a lot of the oxygen that beto o'rourke had. how does he find a way to stand out in this field? remember, to the degree that most voters are familiar with o'rourke it's because he was that guy who ran an almost successful campaign against ted cruz, who democrats hate. ted cruz is not his foil anymore, so what can o'rourke do to maintain that excitement and to cut through the noise? they feel like it is in fact, and this is true, still april. it is still early. nobody wins or loses an election at this phase. but what do you do to get that momentum back? what do you do to get it back when it matters and what do you do to cut through? maybe that's something that happens during the debates, but that will ultimately be the challenge for beto o'rourke in this massive and maybe complete democratic field. >> well, you two gentlemen will keep plowing ahead as you follow these races. thank you. >>> now we'll head to the white house where peter alexander joins us with the latest on president trump's all-out fight against congressional demo

the o'rourke campaign also talks about the idea that this is something o'rourke developed not just by talking to policy experts and think tanks and things like that, although he did that, too, also by the questions he's taken throughout the course of the campaign. they see this as kind of an organic out-growth of the way he's campaigned. i think we will see more policy plans like this get rolled out over time, but the campaign certainly hopes to show this is the kind of serious policy that o'rourke would want to pursue as president and hopefully quiet some critics. >> on the trail in 2018, i will say, no place more than california did i hear about climate change and a driving issue for voters. so interesting to hear how that is received. thank you both. i want to bring in the chief correspondent for the "washington post" and just wrote about a new "washington post" abc news poll shows joe biden holding a slight advantage over his nearest 2020 rivals, but democrats are far from making a decision, to say the least. always good to see you, dan. i want to drill down on a couple specific n

president trump would definitely beat beto o'rourke.mportant is pennsylvania in your estimation? >> if donald trump were to lose wisconsin and michigan in 2020, the two other states that got away from hillary clinton, but still holds on to pennsylvania, he's re-elected. that's why the trump campaign is dispatching their -- they have to get the analytics to make sure that state is in play. we've seen the president's numbers drop in those three states. wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania. flip those states, tell me who wins those states and we know who wins 2020. >> dana: some look at the 2018 midterms and say democrats did so well. that is not a choice between two people. pennsylvania is such a diverse state. >> remember, they redid the maps. the jerrymandering. much better maps for democrats. those kind of went the other way. obviously, the choices are going to be different for voters. isn't elizabeth warren standing on that stage? or is it joe biden? that's a very different choice for pennsylvania. >> dana: they didn't even poll that one

o'rourke is still only a former three-term u.s. congressman and he's taken an interesting approach to the campaign so far, where he's gone out and done a lot of in-person campaigning while largely avoiding national interview. he's also not revealed many policy specifics, which has gotten him some criticism, particularly as other democrats have rolled out big and ambitious policy proposals. that is still today. [ speaking spanish ] >> we are announcing the most ambitious climate plan in the history of the united states. we will ensure we're at net zero greenhouse gas emissions by the year 2050 and that we are halfway there by 2030, a little more than ten years from now. >> democratic presidential candidate and former congressman beto o'rourke joins me now exclusively in his first prime time cable news interview since announcing his candidacy. he's in sacramento, california. it's good to have you on. let's start with today's proposal. why this -- why was this the first big policy agenda you unveiled? >> thanks, chris, for having me o

o'rourke said he's being increasing efficiency standards for appliances and buildings. i'm going to just ask my control room to kill that music, please. part two is investment in infrastructure and communities. he would propose $1.1 trillion in spending, which he says will mobilize $5 trillion over the next ten years and said money will be generated from taxes as he ensures corporations and the wealthiest pay their fair share. part three looks to the future and sets a net zero emissions goal by 2050 and a half waway d line by 2030. beto says he'll work with congress to enact a, quote, legally enforceable standard within his first 100 days to ensure accountability, including enforcing laws that hold polluters accountable and require public companies to measure and disclose any climate risks and greenhouse gas emissions during operations and in their supply chains. part four is strengthening defenses against severe weather by increasing weather on predisaster mitigation grants. garrett haake, i think this is the biggest policy announcement beto o'rourke has made so far. >

beto o'rourke will be a busy man here in the commonwealth. he is the first declared democratic presidential candidate to visit here. o'rourke's appearance in charlottesville tonight one of seven campaign stops planned in virginia today and tomorrow. night he rallied the crowd, touching on the environment, immigration and calling for univers universal health care. >> i know we can achieve universal, guaranteed, high-quality health care. i know we can rewrite this country's immigration laws in our own image. this is athis moment on all of us, a defining moment of truth, and we cannot be found wanting. >> reporter: tomorrow o'rourke will make a stop in fredericksburg in the morning and then it is on to dumfries and prince william county, and then he will end his day with a meet and greet with fairfax democrats followed by a northern virginia town hall in alexandria. one more note here o'rourke also today became the latest presidential candidate to post ten years of his tax returns. back to you in the studio. >> all right, leon. thank you. >>> ne

beto o'rourke raised almost that amount in the first 24 hours. but for a guy who not everybody has been talking about, the interest in him has been steadily growing since december. >> reporter: it really has. at every event i go to out in the country, i ask folks who they are looking for, who is the top three. mayor pete, as he's becoming known as which gets around the difficulty of pronouncing his name, gets in the top three of the list everywhere i go. he will have a challenge as he tries to establish himself in that top tier. but he's a guy who is fairly liked on the operational side, doesn't have a lot of staff, isn't actually yet formally in this race. he's still in that exploratory phase and he's making the most of his media appearances. he has been everywhere, on cable television, on podcasts, on radio. he is trying to make his name out there, and it seems to be working for him in a party that i think one of the big splits we're seeing here isn't on policy or laying into the left or the center but rather generational. do you want to see a

he was ahead of bernie sanders, ahead of beto o'rourke.had a lot of online donations and went on to bring in $700,000 from the fundraiser in philadelphia. i think what it signals about the democratic voter base is that they're much more pragmatic than people are making them out to be. there was a lot of things like you can't take corporate money, it those be done at the grass roots level. democrats want to elect someone who can beat donald trump. arthel: one of the things that vice president biden, former vice president biden raised immediately out the gate is president trump's comments after the charlottesville, virginia protest during which as you well knoheather hyer was killed. how does president trump lay to rest criticism for what appears to be the presence of white supremacy existing in our modern day society. >> i'm not sure that that's even -- i think that was a bit of a spin by biden to try to pump up fund racinfund raising numbers. he did do a good job with the first day numbers. for the woke democratic party, have you to point

democratic presidential candidate beto o'rourke held a townhall meeting in alexandria, virginia. >> as one of the new city councilmembers. i am proud to be part of the leadership of the best city in the commonwealth.

beto o'rourke has been exposed. i think biden has been exposed i don't know what the hell happened to biden i never saw that before. i don't know it just doesn't look like the same biden i said is that really joe biden? he doesn't look the same to me. i've known him for a long time and seen him for a long time. i said what happened to him? so he's been exposed because he's very weak he doesn't want to talk about this. no but they don't want to talk about this. i don't get what their plan is. do they want to let people in that shouldn't be here because we have people that are trying to get in that shouldn't be here think of the word "apprehend." the border security is apprehending 100,000 people a month. do you know how many people that is? it's incredible the jobs they do but the problem is with the laws we should be able to take them right now. we can't. we have to bring them into a court. whoever heard of that we're the only country in the world that i know of that has a court system, and it's a mobile court syste

no problem there to say that beto o'rourke.s ask senator dor booker if the president is a racist, african-american senator here is cory booker response. >> i don't know the heart of anybody. i leave that to the lord. i know there are a lot of people who profess of ideology of white supremacy using his words. >> yeah, you know, i don't know if anyone just heard me but as we heard bet of o'rourke and cory says we don't know the heart of donald trump and that's what he said. race is a important factor. i would just say not in this election but it's been an important factor. i think the difference is that the marketic party apparatus along with the larger political apparatus is recognizing it and acknowledging it in a way they have not forcefully and intentionally acknowledge before. but black voters, latino voters asia american, pacific islanders voters, you know how you feel about the president whether you like him or don't. whether you think he is racist or racist adjacent. but what people want to hear- race is adjacent. what pe

david drucker. >>> david, talk to us about beto o'rourke here.g over so far with his 2020 opponents? >> well, he's already receiving some criticism but i think this is an area where democrats will jockey for position, and fight for voters. this is a topic that has really taken off among the liberal base. it's something that those voters really care about. i think we'll see a lot of this in the first and second round of debates where candidates will argue over climate policy and the best way to deal with all of the concerns that a lot of voters have about climate change. i think that the real question here is where the general electi alexandria will be. climate change and the government needing to get involved is very attractive. voters want to see that. i don't know if the voters believe in all the doom and gloom warnings that we have ten years to do this or we're all going evaporate. i think that it's important for democrats to balance their base and what the party wants on climate with where rank-and-file voters will be, you know, left of cente

o'rourke has been talking about that. biden gets into the race, when joe biden gets into the race, that will be something they talk about as well. immigration as a foreign policy issue, that essentially by the time folks show up on our border, we have already failed from a policy perspective. when i'm hearing less of is some of the language around things like abolishing i.c.e. that we heard so much of late last year. that has not been as common on the trail. i'll be curious to see as the president continues to highlight the immigration issue from his perspective, how those democrats respond. >> all right, garrett, good to see you as always, thank you. >>> new today, bill cosby settled a defamation lawsuit filed by seven women who sued him in 2014 saying he defamed them, calling them liars after they accused him of sexual assault. the following year, cosby filed a countersuit alleging these women defamed his character and derailed a potential television opportunity for him. the terms of the settlement were not disclosed bu

do you ever they come out with a plan as detailed as beto o'rourke.eople have been saying i agree with the green new deal. jay inslee, the governor of washington, is not a green new deal guy. >> i understand and i think the difference here is that it puts some more definitive ideas forward about how to take the next steps. the green new deal was very aspirational. it sticks with carbon neutrality and cutting in half our carbon emissions by 2030. that's great. that sets a standard for us to all work towards. but then it gets it a little more into the details about reserving the paris agreement, going back into the paris agreement and what kinds of things we would spend on. so it is a bit more specific. it also doesn't have some of the things in the green new deal that have made a lot of democrats anxious about it. so i think it's a little bit harder to put some of those bumper stickers like socialist on this plan because it looks a lolt more like the kinds of things we already spend on. we are going to spend whether we want to, whether we plan on it or
