. >> reporter: success for robert francis o'rourke may not have been a birthright but it was the expectation. he was a child of privilege. his mother a successful businesswoman and his father a politician and power broker. >> he was brash. he, you know, was not shy about speaking his mind. >> reporter: fluent in spanish, the father gave his son the nickname beto. young beto would choose his own path. the two still keep in touch. >> we were interested in skating, skateboarding. we were into punk music. >> reporter: in high school he joined a hacking group called the cult of the dead cow, where he ran a bulletin board. >> he felt like an outcast, like he didn't fit in. cult of the dead cow as it was known, provided a sense of can community. >> reporter: at 15 he left el paso for an all-male boarding school in virginia, going on to columbia ufrt columbia university in new york. there he played in a punk band. >> check this out. four guys in a 1978 plymouth satellite station wagon, with our amplifiers, two changes of clothes between the four of us. >> reporter: but at 25, the pull of el paso led

robert francis o'rourke has his sights on the white house. that's where he's going to stay. called the sitting president of the united states an accomplice in a mass murder. has our politics gotten so broken that we let somebody, out of anger and rage, can say those things and expect the american people to respond? that's not what this country needs in a moment like this. was robert francis o'rourke saying those things when he was on city congress when president obama was in office and mass murders were going on then? this just, to me, sad commentary on where we are and what ambition sometimes will do to people. yes, a terrible, horrible tragedy in texas, in el paso. our hearts go out to those people. but to use that as an excuse to advance your candidacy for the president by saying the president is an accomplice in a mass murder is just way, way beyond the limits. >> dana: he has not been doing as well as he would like, obviously. one of the reasons they had to do this reset the because the fund-raising was not as good as they thought. the polls numbers aren't there. do you

we heard that from pete buttigieg, from robert francis o'rourke, we heard it from bernie sanders and the word to basically accuse the president of being an accomplice in the murders in el paso and in dayton, ohio. and, you know, that is really over the top. i think the democrats have made a mistake because that's not going to get the swing voters who are up for grabs in this election to their side. but more important than that, it's poisoning our politics even more than it is. our politics is brokennen, and it does absolutely no good for people to go out there and say as robert francis o'rourke and others have done that the president a white supremacist or a racial bigot, that he's a racist and that he has a direct responsibility for the people who pulled the triggers in those two towns. would we say the same of bernie sanders? after all, a supporter of his was the guy who shot, tried to kill the republican house and senate members at their baseball practice a couple years ago. david: well, of course, the ohio shooter was a leftist d. >> right, self-described leftist, absolutely. dav

off of private insurance and giving it to illegal aliens, not just fundraiser there you had robert francis o'rourke the border in mÉxico, cory booker has helped illegal aliens cross the border into america, and mayor pete has helped illegal aliens evade the law in south bend, so this is another example of american citizens coming last when it comes to the democrats. heather: why isn't dnc asking them accepting aid or benefiting from a foreign country? >> right, we've heard a lot about foreign interference in the elections, they say they are only accepting donations donatim expatriots and american citizens, however, just the fact that they are going to mÉxico, campaigning in mÉxico show what their priorities are right, very hypocritical. heather: republican's fundraising tripled in july, they are worried that americans are not buying into their miami? >> right, americans aren't buying their message because they are selling socialism and the american people reject that, axios reported that president trump's underappreciated assets is largely done what he said he was going to do, imagine that, maybe b

accusation that he is responsible, cory booker said it, so did mayor pete buttigieg, so did robert francis o'rourke and also how this is been used politically, think about this, elizabeth warren and bernie sanders both say the president is responsible and call him a racist and both of them sent out fundraising emails drawing on these two massacres in el paso and dayton. elizabeth warned to raise money for democratic senate candidates and bernie sanders to ask people to sign a petition, names he would later solicit i'm sure for his campaign and this afternoon joe biden went out and gave this speech again suggesting the president was directly responsible for these murders and immediately sent out, so talk about politicizing something that should never be politicized, these people are doing that and what gets me is think about this. we accuse bernie sanders of inciting the guy who tried to go republican house members. almost killed steve scalise, shot a capital police officer, shot 2 other individuals at a baseball practice and he turned out to be an ardent bernie sanders supporter and raged on the in

. >> tucker: you think it's robert francis o'rourke? beto? >> how are you doing? debate? >> i am feeling good. running and thinking through what i want to say tonight. >> tucker: he is running. >> i would have said cory booker, because he's began. >> he did the thing where he ran across nebraska or iowa or whatever. >> tucker: that was nice. 1-1. okay, moving to question three now. last question on the democratic 2020 field. candidate julian castro has an identical brother and people often confuse the two. joachim came out with a solution, he recently changed his appearance in what way?se >> oh, i'm gonna take it. okay, i am unconfidently going to say he grew facial hair. >> that's a good one. >> tucker: he grew facial hair? did he grow facial hair? >> good to see you. it's the first time i've seen you with the new beard. is that to distinguish yourself? >> that's one of the reasons. itre helps. if they could tell right away that i'm not the one running for president. >> i think he said he was going to do that. >> tucker: very good. a carley, i'm impressed. okay.

they are failing candidates trying to tie something together with president trump and even robert francis o'rourkefeels like the democrats this, is their new issue. i've seen al green, major proponent of impeachment, now shifting the reason for impeachment, not from russia but to trump being a racist. >> well, look, this is a new issue. it will stay a issue for period of days. we all know how this goes. as david just said, we've seen this movie many times before. all we can hope for, maybe this time there does seem to be on the president's part, formore seriousness maybe dealing with things like background checks. that would be terrific. i'm not quite sure why he doesn't have an appetite for the 100 bullet magazine. one of you guys may be able to explain it. i don't get that. charles: let me ask you though, on the democratic party, some of these candidates saying this is trump. this is the result of trump's rhetoric. again, i think it is always dangerous when we blame anything other than the person pulling the trigger. the same thing with guns in general. it still take as human being to pick up in

that's the word that was used for example, by cory booker, that's the word that was used by robert francis o'rourke. that was the word used by elizabeth warren and bernie sanders, to hold the president of the united states responsible for the murders pip think that's beyond pale. our country doesn't need that kind of divisiveness in it. vice president biden, senator warren and senator sanders all use the occasion of the massacre in el paso to send out fund-raising pitches. elizabeth warren asked for money for democratic senatal candidate, biden asked for money for his own campaign. bernie sanders asked people to sign a petition condemning president trump. obviously, the idea was to collect those names so they could be solicited later for his campaign. i mean, are we really at the point in our history, in our politics, that political candidates think they can raise money in the after math of a terrible massacre of innocent civilians. >> dana: there was another incident having to do with people donating money from campaigns. and that is that joaquin castro, brother of the presidential candidate, basi

assorted robert francis o'rourke. and also how this had been used politically. think about this. elizabeth warren and bernie sanders both say the president is responsible and call him a racist and then both of them send out fund-raising emails. drawing on these two massacres in el paso and in dayton. elizabeth warren to raise money for democratic senate candidates and bernie sanders to ask people to sign a petition, names that he would later solicit i'm sure for his campaign. and then this afternoon, joe biden went out and gave this speech again, incendiary suggesting the president was directly responsible for those murders and immediately sent out a fund-raising field based on his speech and his remarks. talk about politicizing something that should never be politicized. these people are doing that. and what gets me is -- look, think about this. it would be accused bernie sanders of inciting the guy who tried to kill republican house members -- >> shannon: almost killed steve scalise. >> almost killed steve scalise, shot a capital police officer, shot two other individuals at a

but then you have robert francis beto o'rourke. barring some kind of miracle, his campaign is essentially dead and done and buried. he is now polling close to 1%. in order to garner any kind of attention, he is now lobbing desperate political hail marys and on the campaign trail he actually put his full support, pay attention, this isn't about abortion, his full support for "abortion." it's not really abortion. that would be called murder, infanticide. to one day before full-term delivery. in other words, he would support infanticide of a fully grown baby that can live independently. he would make that perfectly legal. and beto bozo also blamed the u.s. for an ongoing drought in guatemala. we are responsible because everything that is america's everything bad is america's fault. right robert francis? take a look yourself. >> guatamala is suffering one of the greatest droughts in the recorded history because not by god or mother nature both by you and me and by all of us and our admissions and our excessive actions in the face of th

so did robert francis owe o'rourke.d out fund raising emails. drawing on these two massacres in el paso and in dayton. so, you know, talk about politicizing something that should never be politicized, these people are doing that. brian: and that's what's going on now, many of which are 1% or 2% and perhaps see this as an opportunity. beto o'rourke says i'm suspending my campaign for a while to stay in el paso. he has already qualified for the next round of debates. pete: oh goody. brian: this news alert. is he not a racist. he is not a white supremacist and he is not a white nationalist. dan patrick also knows the president pretty he will with is he lieutenant governor of texas. he weighed in on the rhetoric being rifled at the president. >> i spent a lot of time with the president. i was his campaign chair when he campaigned in the state in '16. he has been here many times since i have been lieutenant governor. he has been president. we have had quiet time together and personal time i have seen him in action. this guy

robert francis beto o'rourke, still officially running for president pretty slick it's coverage and interviewse him standing on the debate stage once in a while. again, like any other candidate. but make no mistake, his campaign is over. he recalled his first right on this program. a long time ago we described how beto's campaign lost mojo to pete buttigieg. here's our analysis. >> former congressman beto o'rourke gave a speech to kids in virginia yesterday. beto had a microphone and was speaking to the students seated in a small empathy a year. for a moment if you close one eye, he looked convincingly like a campaign event. there were volunteers and massing matching t-shirts. he wore a basketball cap as he spoke because wearing what other people's caps went is what you're supposed to do when you run for president. and to be clear, running for president is what beto o'rourke says he's doing. it's all a little sad when you think about it. they'd all work is not going to be the president, least of this country, his campaign is dead. totally dead. it went toes up last week from a fatal overdose o

we have robert francis o'rourke.here we needed someone to strike a moment of unity and eloquence, here's what he said. "you know this. you know what he has been saying, he has been calling it mexicans rapists, members of the press. what the blank, connect the dots about what he is doing in this country. he is promoting racism. if we ever needed any indication that this is somebody who was not worthy of the highest office, there it is." by contrast, i thought julian castro hit it almost right. he said that he did criticize the present, describing, saying that he ought to try to unite americans, instead of these claims. i thought that the first part was good. here is what the president ought to be doing, but he said i'm not going to hold the president responsible for the shooter. the shooter pulled the trigger. i thought that was a better way to approach this in a moment where we don't need more hyperpartisanship. we need unity. >> sandra: the president did tackle a variety of things. he addressed all of that in that s

so did robert francis o'rourke.sanders, they both say that the president is responsible and call him a racist. then both of them sent out fund-raising emails, drawing on these two massacres in el paso and in dayton. so you know, talk about politicizing something that should never be politicized. these people are doing that. >> sandra: but that it happened, and i hear you. i hear you referencing the heated rhetoric on both sides. i think as a country, we see this escalating, donna. how are we going to stop it? >> i do believe that it starts at the top. it is not just the presence of the united states, it is members of congress, and be on our politicians. we need every american to understand that our words matter. i mean, today, i woke up thinking about the little children of mississippi were getting up this morning without apparent through no fault of their own. i know that their parents may be here with no documentation, but still, they have nobody to bather them, to comb their hair, to send them off to school. the

also, we have the very latest blunder from bernie sanders, elizabeth warren, and yes, robert francis beto bozo o'rourke. whose campaign is now on life support but tonight, we begin with the breaking developments surrounding convicted jeffrey epstein including a new link between epstein and of the prince of england. this is getting, well, more and more salacious every day. with more, we have our own trace gallagher in our west coast newsroom tonight read his connections deep, trees. >> yeah, you talk about another epic fail on the part of the facility. there are now at least two cameras that are in the hallway outside of the cell where jeffrey epstein hanged himself with "the washington post" reports that one camera and video footage that is unusable. there apparently is clear footage that was also captured but no one is saying what the clear video might reveal or why the bad video is too flawed for investigators to use. and in the case with no witnesses, video is paramount. meantime, 16 women who say they were sexually abused by epstein appeared in court today. calling him a coward and manipulator. one
