now, pac died in 2016. muni's board is considering a special order that would name a station in chinatown after her. while she was powerful, she was divisive and that's being reflected in the public's comments going on right now. >> i urge you follow your naming policy and name the subway as chinatown station. no rose pak. thank you very much. >> we believe rose pak was our warrior, chinatown's guardian and than rose pak is chinatown. >> if approved the central subway chinatown station would be named chinatown rose pak station. >> walmart suing tesla claiming its solar fires started fires at several walmart stores. they say the fires destroyed large measurements of merchandise and cost hundreds of houses in repairs. walmart began using solar panels made by solar city in 2010 on the roofs of hundreds of its stores. tesla acquired solar city in 2016. solar city was founded by two cousins of elon musk. people who live in areas prone to wildfires are having an increasingly difficult time finding insurance. data

alex, club for growth, known for its heavy spending and its pac's and super pac's, what stuck out for you from what mr. mcintosh said about the club's strategy for 2020? >> what was interesting is he was talking about it was almost like meddling in the democratic presidential primary. you heard him talk about they went after beto o'rourke, how they went after joe biden. this is something you don't see other republican groups doing right now. other groups are sort of husbanding the resources, waiting for the democratic nominee to be picked. but what you see is the club for growth selecting issues and going after democrats to try to meddle and shape that race. >> i agree. i always thought of the club for growth as the sort of business oriented end of the tea party movement, tea party meets chamber of commerce. they were anti-trump in the beginning. they were neutral in the general election, 2016. and now they've come around full-circle to supporting him even though we heard the reservations they had about spending and tariffs. but they're trying to reconcile with trump. he's going to be

for me it's going to be a very surgical super pac. i think it could possibly be named the committee to unseat trump because i like the acronym c.u.t. enough is enough. i understand the cynicism. i am a republican, i'm not disavowing the republican party. i'm trying to stay in the party and reform the party and make the party more sensible. if you go way back in my background, you'll know i helped legalize gay marriage in new york and worked with chad griffin to nationalize the gay marriage movement. i'm actually a libertarian in many ways, way to the left socially and just center right on business, joy. >> okay. i appreciate you being here. please keep us up to date on how the super pac goes. appreciate it. >> the haircut looks great, by the way. >> thank you very much. >> i'm just throwing that out. >> thank you. i appreciate it. have a great day. >>> conservative pundits taking a stand against trump. you heard one person doing so. the republican party at large, not so much. i'll discuss with my panel next.

we are coordinating with what we do in the super pac with what -- both entities are aligned. we like dan bishop, the candidate. he's a strong, fiscal conservative. mccready is a democrat. he's actually very vulnerable on nonpartisan issues because he won't answer questions and it looks like he's hiding liberal views. and the voters are starting to sense that. so, i think in the one way, every election for congress has a local element. they have people they like and don't like. this one is starting to become nationalized. it's going to be, will a trump supporter, republican, be able to win what should be a republican seat against a democrat who tries to distance himself from nancy pelosi? tries to, but then has overwhelming support from radical environmental groups aligned with some of the new green deal and the most radical elements of their agenda. so, i think it's a test. will a mainstream conservative republican, who supports the president, win against a democrat who claims not to be a socialist like everybody else, but in reality is supported by the same forces? >> you te

president trump has his own campaign, his own super pac educated to that. he didn't really need club for growth money being spent on his behalf. but what we could do is highlight the chaos that's going on in the democratic field. but to do that, and alex reported on that, knows some of the things we've done, we have to think how do we communicate to democrats in their primary about their issues and their values? very different. we kind of started by recognizing none of them are going to be progrowth on free-market candidates. but what will they care about on their terms, and how can we understand that and bring that information to bear? with joe biden, we ended up doing an ad that highlighted his discord between his earlier positions on racial positions and current positions. kamala harris picked that up, ran with it in the debate, and it's been something he's had to deal with since then. we knew allh beto, about him in the texas race against ted cruz, and that he really wasn't the progressive innovative guy he was projecting himself to be. he, in the past,

whatever they can to make sure we are able to get our message out there taking andontributions from pacs lobbyists. there is a lot of work that we have ahead of us. we talked about couple of them. the thing i hear most from people is about health care, about how most families in this country are one health care emergency away from total bankruptcy and disaster. how is it possible that in this country we spend far more as a country on health care, yet we have far worse outcomes? it is unacceptable. this is why i support passing medicare for all legislation that will make sure every single american is able to get the care we need in this country. , if you wantance to choose that route, that is up to you. we have to make sure no one is turned away when they are sick and in need of care. this is something that is impacting all americans. another thing impacting all americans is the problems posed to us by climate change. sometimes when you get into these conversations in washington, they get very political when you talk about climate change because it is this hot topic where you are either o

other super pacs involved in this. all the democratic candidates they are staying away from corporate pacs money they are staying away from the traditional, old school fund raising of going to these big high dollar. we used to boast about that about, they had bundlers and people would come and lislea wod go ask 20 of her friends towr e $20 checks and you would get lauded by the campaign for being that big fund raiser. they are not doing that now. it means it's t not juse waywa the money that's being raised is aboutent but if you think these early states who are going se have influence in the races. it's going to look a lot different than it has in he are cent years. >> one reason ofe for all a these small donor numbers going up is the tracks are forcing th is democrats are forcing the issue. you need small donors to make the next debat so far i think we have 12 qualified. e 2 candidates. my question is when do we see this field really cut down. is it going to be after this nextity bait? what do you think. >> in the las

the supreme court united citizen ruling allowed spending by unions and super pacs, gave these big moneyue influence and made it difficult for candidates to get their message out without substantial backing. how do you propose to level the playing field and bring about more campaifarps in campaign financing. >> anyone who thinks that campaign finance and dark money in our elections is a fringe issue, if we want to talk about health care costs, gun safety, if we want to talk about income inequality, they're at the core of all of this with dark money in our elections. when that case came down, took the first case all the way back up to the u.s. supreme court, fighting against it. montana had this great history of -- actually, real dark history, one point mark twain said corruption smells sweet in montana. but regular folk took it back, it became about regular people talking to regular people. don't ever doubt what one justice can do when it comes to our democracy, women's rights, workers rights. passed this law that said 90 days out from election, i don't care if yourselves americans for a
