karl rove, chief deputy chief of staff for george w. bush.al level that the republicans have how to raise the democrats for the dnc. but telling a different story, what do you make of that? >> i think that we have to be cautious, one headline said 50 democrats had outraised the republican opponents in the second quarter. they were looking at a three month period and how much that was on the tax return, 50 democrats who outraised the theh republican opponents. but in the political report they say that they are solid republicans and six are in 27 seats that are likely republicans. in 19 are seats that are solid democrats. so to give a real picture, i think that we have to look at what are the toss up seats. the politico reports said there were 26 toss-up districts. and democrats outraised the republicans in 14 of the 26 districts. by -- republicans had more handn hand, and they have a total of $38 million to $23 million for the democrats. so you have to be careful amount making too many judgments on one quarter. you have to step back and take a

karl rove on that to say the socialist message, it's spreading. and the tv spat that is far from settled. our own judge jeanine pirro kicked off of abc's "the view," just for having an opposing opinion. we have the judge's inside info on what went down behind the scenes in this epic on-air fight. we deliver the debate behind tomorrow's headlines. i'm elizabeth macdonald, "the evening edit" starts right now. ♪ ♪ elizabeth: the dow still sticking above 25,000, its performance today was better than last friday but more on your money in just a second. first, the u.n. called out. secretary of state pompeo and u.n. ambassador nikki haley telling u.n. member states, step up. >> members of the u.n. security council, and by extension all u.n. member states, have unanimously agreed to fully enforce sanctions on north korea, and we expect them to continue to honor those commitments. when sanctions are not enforced, the prospects for the successful denuclearization of north korea are diminished, so we'll take full enforcement of sanctions for us to get there.

you had karl rove and george bush in the white house. we had massive fights with them in the 2000's. i remember in 2003 going up against tom delay and karl rove and we are against them on the prescription drug bill because we thought the creation of a new entitlement would be unsustainable fiscally. those kind of fights were things that were happening throughout the 2000's. we were on the outside of the republican party during those fights. we were opposed to the party in the direction the party was going. conservatives should be fiscally responsible. the party has lost that mantra over the years and frankly even right now. as we discussed at the top of the hour, it has been hard going to get the party to embrace that. the president himself, we need to work closer with the administration to convince the administration to take these steps on entitlement reforms. we are working on that. host: our guest has spent time on capitol hill working for republican senators, don nickles of oklahoma and jim demint of south carolina. mike is joining u

kavanaugh as he worked in every major issue as counselor to president bush, staff secretary to him, karl rove noted in a ,ecent interview, he said "literally any document that goes to the president on a policy issue has to pass through the hands of the staff secretary . judge kavanaugh as he himself has said was at the president's side at many pivotal moments of the bush presidency from the passage of partial birth abortion to the ban on partial-birth abortion to debates over same-sex marriage and well beyond. we should know just what judge -- as staffs secretary said to president bush during those and other critical moments of the bush presidency. his advice to president bush and his role in those decisions is relevant. understates word its importance. it is critical to our judgments about his qualifications. perhaps maybe just by chance there is nothing in those documents. when judge kavanaugh was in the white house, maybe he was just a traffic cop as senator cornyn has claimed or an honest rocher, as the judge described himself at his confirmation hearing. true, whatthat is are they hiding

karl rove served as deputy chief of staff and senior advisor to president george w. bush.ided are democrats going into this election? >> well, increasingly divided because you just touched on a couple of them. we've seen this throughout the primary season, that in cases of races where the democrats had a shot to win, they threw it away by going hard left. the key example to me was nebraska too. this is the most democratic part of nebraska. it is part of the state that obama carried, that hilary clinton did well in. they had a democratic congressman until recently. he was trying to get the democrat nod back again. and he'd have a shot in the general election. but the democrats instead went hard left with a woman named kara eastman who is in favor of medicare for all, free college, guaranteed job with a guaranteed paycheck, and in a midwest district like that, that is sane and sensible, even a lot of democrats are going to find that too much to go for. paul: but you know, karl, look, ocasio cortez it seems to me has a point at least on one thing, and that is enthusiasm and e

. >> this is an op-ed that karl rove published in early 2010.e gop targets state legislatures. he who controls subdistricting controls congress. >> that's a civics thing that everyone is aware of. no one was looking at it in terms of the election. >> he is regarded as evil mastermind, depending how you view it, of republican redistricting that took place. >> going into 2010, there was publicity about the censure bureau work and what they would announce and how it would impact congressional districts and reapportionment. >> according to the constitution, every ten years we have to have a census. after that census, states are required to draw new congressional districts. some states gain population. some states lose population. if you gain a new congressional district, you have got to figure out how to draw the lines to accommodate that district. if you lose one or two as states often do, you have to draw the lines again. >> the state legislators draw the lines for congress. it takes a relatively obscure state office and makes it pretty important

karl rove, president george w. bush's political advisor, who has been keenly, sharply critical of president trump during the campaign and during his presidency, and whom president trump has said not to like very much. but, clearly, he overcame those objections and has nominated brett kavanaugh to be on the supreme court. >> woodruff: and, john, we seery a lowing statement from h,rmer president george w. b who has been relatively quiet, but tonight make it clear he thinks the choice of judge kavaugh is a good one. we should point out on a more personal note, we know that judge kavanaugh's wife, who heuc intr ashley, was a personal secretary to president george w. bush. let's learn a little bit more about the pick and the fight to come, if you will, in the congress, and for that le's turn to david rivkin, an attorney here in washington who served as associate white house counsel for president george he's also argued before judge kavanaugh on the court ofap als for the d.c. circuit. and elizabeth wydra, presidee of t

karl rove here, chief of staff for george bush. i love when you're here. said you have sobering news about the republicans. i thought in the last two weeks, republicans thought things were going so well. >> yeah. look. in some degree, they are. larry and his people are very part. i started out by saying that they moved 17 races towards the democrats including adding eight republicans into the toss-up category. they did it largely because of money. democrats have had a good fund-raising quarter. 7 of the 8 republicans that they moved to the toss-up category have more can on hand. but they're right on two things. one is that the generic ballot is going to wrong way. the end of may, it was 3.2 gap for the democrats. if that's what it is only election day, republicans will keep the house. today it's eight points. the second point that i thought that they were right on, the president's job approval is not where it needs to be. he's really popular among republicans, but his approval rating among independents is dropping to wind the fall elections, republicans ca
