this popular tea shop on the west coast has all kinds of tea. black teas, white teas. one of the most popular teas is green tea. customers say they're drawn to its health benefits. it's packed with vitamins and antioxidants. exports of japanese tea have tripled in value over the past ten years, and young affluent consumers in the u.s. are a big part of that growth. this shop carries dozens of kinds of green tea. they include tea shipped straight from shiuzoka prefecture. >> japanese first flush that just came in a few days ago. it's a beautiful tea. very, very light. and very, very fragrant. >> i drink a lot of breakfast tea, green tea. i think there's a healthy aspect for it too. >> reporter: executives with starbucks have been looking to expand beyond coffee, and the fast-growing tea market proved irresistible. last year starbucks bought specialty tea retailer teavana for a reported $620 million. executives say they hope to have 1,000 tea outlets within ten years. >> this is the period of time where we're going to see the greatest retail tea expansion in the u.s. eve

do you think that the tea party is -- what do you think that says about the tea party? >> well, i think the tea party is -- it's something totally different from the republican papers because the republican party is an establishment. and they want to -- i think eric cantor is turning into, just like i said, a rhino, and the tea party is trying to show the republican party that they can't do that. that you can't turn -- he's trying to turn into a liberal. >> time for the g.o.p. party to sirneder. the people have spoken." will is our next caller. go ahead. >> yes, hi. my name is will. i'm calling on the democratic line. i think this is a step forward. i think eric cantor was one the main proponents that was against, of course, the affordable health care act. think he would have also been a roadblock to virginia actually expanding medicaid. so i think this is a great victory for the tea party and i common 's a sign that sense politics need to be first and foremost for our nation. i think that mr. cantor may have had some other agendas as thoughts is own about how things sh

green tea ice cream. >> from mr. green tea.tea flavored ice cream, which is what the bulk of the business is, i would never advocate changing the name of that, ever. this package will never change. mr. green tea would be the flavor. >> then what would you call the brand? >> you know, if i just was kind of brainstorming and coming off the top of my head, you know, why wouldn't you call it keyport creamery? the keyport creamery is an emanuele family company, right? very nice underneath, and we offer since 19... >> both: '68. >> '68, the most fantastic line of green tea ice cream, ginger ice cream, red bean, but we've now started to expand into... >> both: solo gelato... >> and... >> mochi. >> mochi, and whatever else you decide to launch. >> you're right. >> yeah, i-i like the ideas, yeah. >> i've arranged for michael and richard to have a call with the bank, so they can negotiate for the building we saw the other day. >> so what do we want to do the initial offer at? >> i think we have to offer at 200,000. >> 200,000? >> right.

the tea party groups, the national tea party groups were not helping at all. little pockets in virginia but no national presence except for, you know, people like ann coulter or glenn beck and myself. really there has been no -- people have been laughing about this primary and i'll say to everybody watching, don't discount the frustration and the irritation and the fury of the american people when year after year their lives aren't getting any better. that's the untold story here. the american people are sitting by seeing their wealth deteriorate, their prospects go under, their future dismal, and meanwhile politicians either throw up their hands or outright lie to them about the situation. that's what's undergirding us. >> what about it, bret, that this was driven in large part by an anti-establishment, we're sick of it attitude among constituents? >> who are you asking? >> you. >> oh. well, i suppose in a broad sense you could say that but there aren't any exit polls so we don't have that as a route to determine exactly what was on people's minds. i'm bound

part of the tea party energy in the tea party is to fight entrenchment, people who go to washington and get potomac fever. that's one thing that affected cantor, and this i don't know about, but we might see reporting on it, there were democrats in that district, including a democrat who ran against cantor once, known as ben jones, former -- >> from "dukes of hazzard." >> he was in that district, and he tried to start a movement among democrats saying it's an open primary. if you're a democrat, you can vote in the republican primary. you want to make eric cantor's life miserable, vote for his opponent. i don't know what degree that plays a role. >> that will be fascinating to watch. i was talking to larry and said, look how terrible those primary numbers are. that turnout is awful. he said, that's pretty good. it will be worth seeing how many are democrats. >> it's always conventions. john warner the republican senator for a long time, was going to lose a convention. his tool to save himself was the primary, yet, that's going to be the thing to take eric cantor out. >> amazing. steve ko

so they say it's the tea party, it's the establishment, the tea party lost. the tea party won.goes back and for the. in the end that doesn't really matter. what matters is whether republicans are nominating electable candidates, the republican party's future is dependent on whether they nominate electeddable candidates. is dave brat one. >> dave brat so far seems to be an electable candidate. he is, again, as you say, no doe, college economics professor. and a guy who ran a very grass roots campaign but he is an attractive candidate. he did speak directly to people. he did have a very clear, very forth right message. he doesn't seem to have a bunch of baggage. and he seems to be safe in this district. and i think the other thing is that for eric cantor. going negative, trying to attack, trying to seek and destroy when you are in the greater position, that's not necessarily the right way to go. john boehner faced a challenge in his race in ohio. he dispatched the guy because he got out there and got busy and talked to the constituents and made a more positive case to his constit

when he says tea party, the tea party is bigger than any particular tea party group.he tea party is americans who rose up and gave john bone terrify speakership and then to be talked to that way. you know, the analysis has been so wrong the last several months. i looked at boehner's numbers. boehner got 69% in the republican primary against a 30-year-old adjunct prove swhor had $100,000. that's a disaster showing for a man who has been there for 24 hours. i look at mcconnell. the republican leader in the senate been elected five, six times. he got 60% against a citizen candidate that's never run for office before? cornyn in texas ran against for our five candidates. he got 59%. folks keep bringing up lindsey graham. lindsey graham had six opponents who were fighting with each other. they couldn't get behind a single cane. if he had a guy like brat or mcdaniels or somebody else he would have had a tougher night. mississippi, a republican who has been there forever, thad cochran and there's no reason to back cochran. his days are over. everybody knows it. he was beaten

, more 60/40 tea party establishment.uy who makes the most sense is a guy named tom price, a georgia republican. he declined to run for senate because he wants to move up in leadership. he has more trust of the tea party, i would argue. comes from the south where really the tea party's base is the south. that's the other thing that i think that there's a misconception that the tea party in many ways is national when it comes to republicans. where they really see success and have moved the party to the right has been in the south, and eric cantor is now prime example number two. thad cochran could be number one this year. >> chuck todd, msnbc political director and host of the daily rundown. this is incredible news. >> joining us now is josh barrel. contributor and for the upshot at the "new york times." i thank you for skramperring in front of the camera for the breaking news. let me ask you in terms of what this signifies frk why this happened, this isn't one of those races where all the outside groups and club for growt

that separated him from the tea party masses. i think it's important to note that ari eric cantor lost this tonight. the tea party didn't win this race. however, in politics, perception is reality right now. and what you will see, and we've seen this already in the past couple of hours, we are all getting e-mails, from tea party organizations, across the country, even chris mcdaniel running in two weeks, he is taking credit for this. what you will see is an em boldened departy. you will see a spin-off don, with more activity on that side. kw question is, can it sustain until next november. >> even the tea parties weren't involved. they didn't think they add shot in unseating eric cantor. i would like to find out his favorability ratings going into this. if the base of the party didn't like him, the base of the republican party, then that explains a lot of it. >> this is also a testament to the power of conservative radio. it is still very, very strong. laura ing gram, don, i've been following her tweets for several weeks. the fac

up next, what may be the tea party's last stand and a u.s. senate race defined by tweets and bloggers. this week we give you sarah palin and the patriarch of duck dynasty. need we say more? >> maybe the fellow that you're going to hear from, our main speaker tonight, maybe he should be not just the duck commander, how about a duck commander in chief. >> speaking of sharp dressed man, i'm serious when i'm telling you i have on the very best clothes i own. i am totally blind. i began losing my sight to an eye disease when i was 10. but i learned to live with my blindness a long time ago. so i don't let my blindness get in the way of doing the things i love. but sometimes it feels like my body doesn't know the difference between day and night. i struggle to sleep at night, and stay awake during the day. i found out this is called non-24, a circadian rhythm disorder that affects up to 70 percent of people who are totally blind. talk to your doctor about your symptoms, and learn about the link between non-24 and blindness by calling 844-824-2424.

tea party groups weren't spending money. they weren't targeting eric cantor, a good relationship with professional tea party crowd. there is a difference. immigration, much more animated, actual grassroots issue. let's look at the specific thing that dave brat was hitting eric cantor on to prove that cantor was for amnesty. cantor wanting to do the dream act. has to do with giving legalization, status, possibly, pathway to citizenship, for any children of undocumented workers here in the country. what's been the big news of 72 crisis on the border unaccompanied minors flooding the border, being sent back to central american countries. right now an issue. this has been lighting up talk radio. it gave urgency to dave brat's message at the perfect time that the campaign was coming to its crescendo. you put all that together. a perfect storm. there were other things. eric cantor didn't mind local politics over the couple years. some things like that. power of the immigration issue coupled with what was in the news in last 72 hou

the tea party is unfettered by old ties and old relationships. i think if we welcomed the tea party in with the other groups that reagan launched us on in late '70s, early 80s, we've got a very great strong and winning coalition. kind of part of what i just said there was kind of a criticism of some of the republican conservative leaders here and i think that too many conservative leaders, not those in this room of course but too many of our friends became an arm. they became and appendage of the republican party. they lost their independence and we need a lot of things as conservatives. we need more organizations, more money, more candidates, more elected officials, more publications but the number one thing we need in my opinion above everything else is new leadership and leadership that is unfettered to the republican party. along that line i'm a big advocate of something i call a third force. not a third party but a third force. the left has had enormous success by establishing third force organizations. they are tens of thousands of third fo

to go out and beat the tea party. take a close primary in another state, and have the grassroots all upset. look what they just did to us in mississippi. they think they pulled a fast one on us. we're going to show them here. i think -- i really think we can say, yeah, the establishment won, they really pulled a fast one on the tea party last night. i think the joke could be on the establishment here, the tea party is going to be super fired up about this, what they did in mississippi, theyen cat do anywhere else. >> if they are able to do it in the same way they're able to do it against eric cantor in virginia, that takes some of the wind out of their sails, in terms of splitting from the republican party. they think they can't take it over, it's when they feel like they're fighting battles against the establishment and losing, they declare war on the establishment. >> they lose by 5,000 votes. it's not by 50 points, they can win these things. >> i can tell you, you were up all night clicking refresh on the returns l

party's demise, the tea party is still living, the mississippi race. and i think that the real key thing to understand here is the fear of the tea party challenge. even when tea party challenges don't work is enough to enforce a certain amount of biological rigidity in the house and caucus. but you get one of these. even if you get one of these in 20 or one in 50, everyone is going to know about this. everyone on the hill right now is look agent this news. and it's going to change the way they behave and the way they vote. >> well, i think this is the first time since 1899. >> yep. >> that a sitting majority leader in the house has been defeated. so this is big news. and i think the art -- two things. the argument about whether the tea party is on the rise or has fallen is a little bit silly. the fact is all the motive, power in the republican party now is with the tea party. >> all of it. >> and it's not visible, as the polls showed to the normal political machinery of politics. >> yes. >> which is the whole point. >> yes. >> and the fact that eric ca

which means have you an em boldened tea party. will we see a tea party candidate within the republican conference try to run. what does that mean for any kind of cooperation moving forward in the final two years of president obama's term. so there is lot of national implication. quite frankly, don, we talk about implication for republicans and how they are to the right. there are democrats in a lot of red states right now. they have to be concerned that there is potentially a conservative base that will be energized by this and they could potentially help defeat the democrats. >> all right, everyone, hold on. the big position that might be behind eric cantor's stunning defeat could be about immigration. make sure you tweet us. s ] [ chuckles ] i'd do anything to keep this guy happy and healthy. that's why i'm so excited about these new milk-bone brushing chews. whoa, i'm not the only one. it's a brilliant new way to take care of his teeth. clinically proven as effective as brushing. ok, here you go. have you ever seen a dog brush

which means you have an emboldened tea party. will we have a tea party candidate try to run. and what does that mean for any kind of cooperation moving forward in the final two years of president obama's term? so there's a lot of national implications. and we talk about implications for republicans and how they will aeb pushed to the right. there are also democrats running in the senate in a lot of red states right now. they have got to be concerned that there is potentially a tea party base, a conservative base that will be energized by this. >> everyone hold on. hold on. when we come back, the big issue that may be behind eric cantor's stunning defeat. it's all about immigration. and we want to know what you think about all of this. make sure you tweet us using the #askdon. i'm their mom at the playground and i'm his mom at the dog park. the kids get trail mix, and here's what you get after a full day of chasing that cute little poodle from down the street. mm hmm delicious milo's kitchen chicken meatballs. they look homemade, which he likes almost as much as making new fri

tea. in the end cochran, however, won in no small part of his efficacy to getting money. cochran's campaign highlighted federal funding. he's been able to get for black colleges and other projects in the state's african-american communities and a pro cochran pac hired african-american leaders including preachers to encourage black voters to cast votes in the republican primary. a republican in mississippi actively courting black voters is not something we have seen much of since recon are construction ended in 1876. mississippi may be more politically divided along race lines than anywhere else. most mississippi democrats, 75%, are black. and most black voters in mississippi vote for democratic candidat candidates. and on the other side, very nearly all republicans, 96% of them, are white. and almost 90% of white voters in mississippi vote d for mitt romney in 2012. that is 30 points higher than the national average. that's why even though mississippi has the highest proportion of african-

has tea partiers nationwide feeling officially giddy. creates a wave of energy that's infectious, read an e-mail to supporters from the president of the washington-based tea party group freedom works for america. subject line, you're winning. you know who's losing? liberal establishment politician. it's hard to say that with a straight face. eric cantor, crushed in his republican primary because of his vote to fully fund obamacare. that is according to an e-mail from new york gop congressional kand george demos. if the tea party has its ways, eric cantor will not be the last liberal establishment politician to go down. fund-raising e-mail from tennessee state representative dzhokh dzhokhjo car, warns, lamar, you're next. joining me now, democratic congressman from maryland's eighth congressional district, chris van hollen. great to see you. especially in these turbulent times. i would like read a statement to you, and get your opinion, agree or disagree, colorado democratic chairman rick polasio. it's nice to see infighting from the oppo

the local tea party -- i mean, the national tea party groups took a pass on that one. a friend of mine, a guy i know, who runs a pac for the tea party patriots said we looked at that guy in virginia and we liked him but made our big bet down in mississippi. well, they lost in mississippi and the local tea party groups pulled a professor at randolph macon across the finish line by a remarkable degree. so to the ex it tent the tea party lives on, i don't think it's beaten, i think its energy is there. the republican party needs it. but i think these big well-moneyed groups have constituted an establishment of their own and not doing well. >> julie, i want to change subjects on you. hillary clinton continues to take heed on the money issue. money problems. i want to -- and she makes a lot of money making speeches. put this up on the screen. she was paid $300,000 for a speech at ucla in march. and students at the university of nevada las vegas are asking her to reject the $225,000 she's getting for a speech she's going to be making there in october. and once again, she had

this is strictly for the tea party. does the republican party have a full on civil war going on within the party itself. >> that would not be this layperson's assessment. first place, the tea party did not spend a lot of money on this election. there's an old saying, i attribute it to tip o'neill, all politics are local. whatever defeated eric cantor had to do more with local politics rather than major move by the tea party in this election. you had a candidate that the winner cantor not paying enough attention to his district. he refused to oh criticize the tea party. >> remember what the acronym means, taxed enough already. all of us republicans believe in that. when the tea party first came out in 2009 i believe it was largely in reaction to the tremendous overeach on the part of the obama administration, stimulus, dodd frank, attempt at cap and trade in the house and the country rose up and said enough is enough. >> you did not hear eric cantor blaming the tea party, blaming them. he said it was not the tea party th

eric would then go and bring the tea party in. each time he did that, he'd get dinged more and more. there's not going to be anybody to do that, which means the house is that much more ungovernable. democrats are saying they are going to run on the idea they are adults, and i think what you're going to see from house republicans over the next year, then, you know, starting in 2015, is the same thing. >> you know, mudcat, in some ways cantor's campaign fed into the narrative that you're laying out about he was out of touch in his district. for example, his campaign spent more at steakhouses than brat spent on his entire campaign, $167,000 on steakhouses, compared to $123,000 that brat spent on his campaign. i mean, it is amazing and very graphic there on what was being done. and we also have gop congressman name getting tossed about to become the next majority leader. he said, "there are many ways to advance the causes of freedom and free enterprise, and i am prayerfully considering the best way i conserve in these efforts." how do

>> it's a loss for the tea party. >> the republican gets challenged by the tea party. >> thad cochran pulled off a win in mississippi. >> cochran tried to move to the middle. >> they focused on the money he had brought home. >> is this a strategy other m republicans will use? >> what is the use? >> what have you done for me lately? >> do i want a republican who has a history of bringing resources to the state? >> if you want a republican who may not bring in federal funds. >> promising bigger government, which is requiring higher taxes. >> a lot of frustration. >> could you see a breakoff from the party? >> the civil war and the republican party. >> that's where the party is today. >> maybe that's what the tea party should have done is start a third party from day one. >> remember ross perot? he drove republicans crazy, because his third party campaign in 1992 allowed bill clinton to take the presidency away from republicans by winning only 43% of the vote. now the tea party, which has been nurtured by the republican party for the last few years, is grumbling about splitting off into

is the tea party dead? the two people who get the most attention right now in the republican party are ted cruz and rand paul. the tea party obviously wasn't dead. >> definitely, we won't treat you like you're crazy this morning. >> it's a story line the republicans like, the establishment liked. it's what they were pushing. they wanted the tea party to be dead and they wanted the establishment to be alive. >> you mentioned talking to voters. a "new york times" reporter knocked on doors. they found out there was a lot of antipathy toward eric cantor. the idea of going out and door knocking in a race, is that just out of vote? >> you can't just blame reporters on this. >> try me. >> okay. all right. blame whoever you want. i think there's also a corporate responsibility here. a lot of travel budget has been cut. the newspaper industry and the magazine industry isn't as vibrant as it used to be. everybody sort of mcing decline right now. so i think that when you cut those budgets, you'll see something like yo

he knowses he's at the mercy of the tea party right.the same time he has decent little bitle call instincts. he understands impeaching the president in the mid le of a midterm election year is one of the few things republicans can do. this is the solution. do this and they will stop talking impeachment. i'm not sure it's working. >> no, it's not. oh, to be john boehner. that's amazing. the back and forth here. the reality is neil cavuto was right. i think there are bigger issues, legislation, processes, owl of that, that republicans in the house could have put to good use over the last few years to legislatively and on policy box this administration into an appropriate political corner leading into an election this fall. this right now, i think, is a lot of extra effort that's going nowhere with. so there is no guarantee that a court is going to give john boehner and the congress standing to bring the suit. >> right. that's the key point. >> you think lawyers would tell you that before you file a suit. >> what happens if the courts do e

they turned away from the tea party by becoming the tea party. said there's no real difference between the republican party and the tea party, and you could see in these candidates, if you look at joni ernst, she is against the clean water act, she's against any federal minimum wage, not just raising it, she's against it altogether. she is against -- she's in favor of a personhood amendment. she is a climate change denier. if she's the electable moderate, i'd hate to see what their extremists look like. >> you know, jamaal, the gop establishment is worried. i mean, they are showing signs of real concern about these candidates. real clear politics writes, "some iowa republicans have fretted quietly that ernst may have positioned herself too far to the right." and "the national review" says this about chris mcdaniel. "republican strategists worry that he is apt to stumble verbally the way candidates such as todd akin did." are republicans setting themselves up for more candidates like this one, listen to this. >> i'm not a witch. i'm nothing you've

the local tea -- the national sn tea party groups took a pass on that one.d of mine, a guy i know who runs a pac for the tea partn patriots said we looked at that guy, we liked him, but made our big bet in mississippi. well, they lost in mississippi and the local tea party groups r pulled the professor across thea finish line by a remarkable it degree. so to the extent the tea party lives on, i don't think it's k i beaten, i think the energy is te there, the republican party needs it, but i think these big well-moneyed groups have constituted an establishment of their own and they're not doing well. >> i want to change subjects. on hillary clinton continues to take heat on the money issue, d money problems. l and she makes a lot of money te making speeches. put this up on the screen. she was paid $300,000 for a speech at ucla in march, and n students at the university of nevada las vegas are asking her to reject the $225,000 she's hes getting for a speech thee going to be making there in october, and once again she had to clean up the remark she made about s

. >>> plus, the tea party is dealt a blow in mississippi. our sunday panel offers their scorecard in this year's tea party versus gop matchup. >>> and our power player of the week. the collector of some of washington's greatest treasures pays it forward. >> does it make you happy to see all these things you have gotten over the years? >> i love it. it's part of my life. >> all right now on "fox news sunday." and hello again from fox news in washington. republicans have long accused president obama of exceeding the powers granted him by the constitution, but this week, house speaker john boehner announced he will move to sue the president for executive overreach and the supreme court ruled niep-0, mr. obama has gone too far at making some of his recess appointments. mike emanuel has more on what all this means for the balance of power in washington. >> what we have seen over the last five years is an effort to erode the power of the legislative branch. >> john boehner announced wednesday the house will sue president obama for exceeding his co

party didn't give any money, national tea party groups but was this a tea party victory because of grassroots. >> completely grassroots. a couple of talk show hosts -- >> laura ingram. >> exactly. from the ground up. being a leader has its costs. it's a very unpopular congress. think of a congressional leader that's held in high esteem by constituents. almost all of them have problems back home. this is an electorate very upset with the direction of the country and a chance to protest. one other thing, in november, this doesn't portend good things for the democrats who control the presidency at the senate. these people are going to be coming out in november against democrats. but cantor was their object on tuesday and they defeated him. >> the following about the leadership race that's coming up to succeed cantor, quote, the next month is going to be fascinating, probably ending terribly for the country. reminder, this is a republican source. because we're going to end up with one, maybe two people in republican house leadership who don't qualify as grown-up and/or ready for prime time. terri

we have one last standing tea party challenge but that's it? >> there's a minor long sought challenger in raul labrador from idaho and part of that boehner coup attempt in 2013 and does not have much of a chance. his aide told me on friday that he was not going to even come back to the capitol until monday or tuesday. so he doesn't have the time and doesn't have the organization. mccarthy started immediately on tuesday night. making calls. he is someone who has been a staffer in the house. he's very well networked with his deputy whips. he was -- he has a -- former chief of staff counting votes in his first floor capitol suite and mccarthy is ahead. and speed kills in leadership races and mccarthy had speed. i came from the capitol to the studio. and meeting with steve scalise, a republican, a conservative from louisiana and as a conservative in the house, a heavy conservative and thinking with mccarthy ascendant and boehner as speaker you have ohio and california in the number one and two spots and maybe a conservative has to be in that number

there is a story about the tea party's demise, the tea party still living. think the thing to understand here is the fear of the tea party challenge, even when they don't work, is enough to have ideological rigidity. you get one of these in 20, one and 50, everyone will know about this. everyone is looking at this news. it's going to change the way they behave in and vote. >> i think this is the first time since 1899. >> yep. >> that a sitting majority leader in the house has been defeated. >> yep. >> this is big news, and there are two things. the argument about whether the 2 parties on the rise or has fallen is silly. the fact that all the motive power in the republican party now is with the tea party. it's not visible, as the polls showed, to the normal political machinery of politics, which is the whole point. >> yes. >> the fact that eric cantor's people had no idea just shows how important the 2 party is within the republican party. there is an argument going on tonight about how important or unimportant the immigration issue is. eric cantor was not a

will the tea party get what it wants, more say in setting the agenda. jonathan martin, let me be a bit of a contrarian. could the biggest winner be the house speaker john boehner? the tea party doesn't like him. eric cantor who was angling for boehner's job is gone. it looks like kevin mccarthy is going to be number two. >> kevin mccarthy also angling for boehner's job. >> not as quickly or as openly. if john boehner wants to keep his job after this year it's certainly good news for him. that's still the open question. is john boehner coming back next year? beyond that, how long does he want to stay? that's the question that still looms around john boehner. i'm so struck by this paradox where you see how, if a member of congress does not take care of home, regardless of who they are, they can lose a primary. so that happens, and obviously it sends shockwaves as it should throughout washington. at the same time, washington has not changed that much itself . and relationships still matter here. that trumps everything which is why kevin mccarthy is on the

eric cantor was very transactional with the tea party. he assumed a position like he was a tea party member. he used them and then he threw them away. and there were consequences to that. this isn't about the spending. this isn't even about much else as opposed to how to really demonstrate leadership. he said to all of our chagrin that there wouldn't be an immigration reform bill, it would be piecemeal after boehner said there would be one. he undermined the speaker. so in a lot of ways, i think those of us that follow politics and certainly want to hold our elected officials accountial, we can learn from this. this is a great example of what should happen when people do not allow their actions to match their words. >> now jimmy, we, as i said, we're hearing that congressman labrador is challenging mr. mccarthy for the leadership position that eric cantor step aside. i mean, the tea party is rallying around this labrador. and tell us something about mccarthy. you know a lot about his background and the type of person he is and why would t

anybody wants to say tea party, tea party, tea party. think to say nationally, but when you think about it in particular, it's immigration. particularly in these southern races we see that issue animates the base like no other. in a way, it's hotter than any other issue that animated the tea party before. and throw in the news that happened in the last 48 hours, right, the flooding of the border by unaccompanied minors. it gave urgency to brat's message, right? if you're a candidate, you're making your accusation to your opponent about specifically the immigration and the dream act, something that eric cantor wants. and it sort of umps credibility and urgency. oh, by the way, throw in a low turnout primary and it all came together. >> so, chuck, the question is what happened to lindsey graham in south carolina, the guy in the original gang of six or gang of eight. or in fact so low by tea party members in that state. they didn't call it amnesty. they called it grahamnesty. lindsay want easily. and the south carolina primary more conserva

please commit to voting against tea party candidate chris mcdaniel next tuesday, say no to the tea party. >> explain how he was courting democratic voters here, because democratic voters that hadn't voted in the primary, in fact, the democratic primary could crossover in this primary tonight. >> that's right, sean, i mean, it is open, democrats, independents, republicans can vote tonight in this special runoff, the democrats couldn't vote if they voted in the june third primary, about 83,000 democrats did that. he was courting other democrats, the republicans who win this race will likely win the senate seat in november. it's just the way mississippi has gone for a long time. cochran didn't make any bones about it, he was saying he was bringing the pork home, the education money home for mississippi, and they rolled out the machine. there's no doubt about it, not just the phone machine there, but the machine of politics under haley barbour, senator john mccain went down there, you had the governor, phil bryant do an ad for him, he even brought in brett favre for an ad, of course, the fam
