you worked for the ted cruz campaign. you were the republican party chair in the state of texas. interview with oprah, beto did not go bad on president trump. he didn't really talk about anyone. he kept stressing over and over the importance of listening to everyone and governing everyone. take a listen. >> going to every single county in texas, all 254, not just the reliably blue places where you would expect to find a democrat, king county that voted for donald trump 96% in the last election because the people in guthrie, the county seat are every bit as deserving of my attention of being listened to and heard being served even if they don't vote for me. >> okay. so beautifully optimistic. here's the thing. it didn't win. >> he lost king county by more than barack obama did. to illustrate his point. bet ta o'rourke is a unique political talent. he evolved in a way i would not have expected when he announced. there had never been anyone never anyone elected from el paso statewide in texas but he came closer than anyone else. he came closer than anyone in 40 years. >> but close i

we are asking texas county attorney, thank you for joining us, in that interview last night ted cruzo say i don't know if this will happen but what do you think? is it possible? >> it is possible. it happens all the time. donald trump has called it an interesting idea describing the el chapo act, $14 billion in proceeds seized from his drug cartel and use it to pay for border security. criminal as that forfeiture is used by the department of justice all the time. they put them in a fund with wide latitude to use that although not on this scale but it is commonly done and perfectly lawful. rob: it is possible. i have another question. i would assume mexico probably wants this money as well. he was a terror in that country who killed so many people. what -- do they have a say in this? >> they wouldn't. the action is done by the department of justice connected to criminal prosecution and the conviction of the drug kingpin. this elegant out-of-the-box proposal by ted cruz is not just el chapo but future convictions from other drug cartel members to fund border security and build a wall.

as the state moves in a purple direction, i think beto would be a prime candidate to run against ted cruzk as democrats attempt to distinguish themselves from other candidates, it's going to be very, very difficult for her to articulate a message she is someone voters can trust. it took her a very long time to become transparent about this. again, when you think about someone who can ultimately run against donald trump and win back some of the voters that donald trump was able to take away that voted for president obama in the first or second term, she's going to have a very difficult chance, i would argue, to be able to create a message that would convince those people she's a better option than trump. >> thank you, both. schmeichel is a republican political consultant and host of "considerate" on fox and garrett haake on capitol hill. that wraps up this busy hour for me. thank you for watching. "deadline: white house" with nicolle wallace starts right now. >>> hi, everyone, it's 4:00 in new york, and the state of the investigations into whether donald trump is bought and paid for by for

campaign for a period of time roger stone was not and i'll say is someone i mean as i was work for ted cruz i was personally attacked on multiple many occasions by roger stone so he was called like it outside provocateur and certainly was supportive of the president but support of the president a way that a lot of people who don't actually have a role in a campaign want to be hangers on and what that means from what he was trying to do or what he's trying to pass along i just think frankly at this point it's probably someone who's. washed up and trying to still stay relevant and went too far in trying to do so i will tell you knowing them both he was very close to the president no i don't question their relationship between the two i just mean specific to the campaign larry. before we go chris paine dream is over iran's. you know i don't see how you can bet against tom brady is really the great one and i have not shared for the want to be clear. but from a standpoint i'm more of a college football guy but from a standpoint of watching him play i mean you just got to really enjoy watching to

ted cruz tweeted this out.llion in drug profits from "el chapo" which should go towards funding our wall to secure the border. when you think about it, the president has said all along, in the beginning, we're going to get mexico to pay for it. this would be an indirect way to make mexico pay for it. brian: it is another reason to make it easy to vote in a year, because everyone was caught up in beto o'rourke how big his crowd was compared to the president. i was more interested in what he was saying. he is not only for the wall, he says walls hurt and kill people. he is so against the wall, it has negative effect. when you go to the voting booth you won't have a flip of the coin. ainsley: when they seize money from drug lords or gangsters where does that money go? this is from jim. good idea. limited border security helps move a lot of drugs in the u.s. steve: chris says, who could possibly disagree with that plan? this is common sense solution. using very profits from drugs to stop the problem. i hope ted cru

the idea of taking on ted cruz, someone who is such a polarizing figure within texas in the republicanty is one thing but he has some degree of respect for john cornyn who is a much more middle of the road republican and a lot harder to get fired up to do the same thing again against a guy you think is okay. i think if o'rourke is going to get into this based on my conversations with people around him and folks in texas it will be in that presidential race. now, there are plenty of people in el paso, plenty of people who followed o'rourke's career who think maybe he's not ready and maybe he should take another run at the senate race but i think just from getting to know him and the people around him, the idea of getting that fired up to do the same thing again against a guy they find much less disagreeable doesn't hold water. >> two guests who came to play tonight. our thanks to both of you. we'll do it again with you. thank you so much. >>> coming up, an unusual story happened today. the president's personal lawyer, that guy, shows up at an anti-iran event in poland as israel's leader

lost the senate race to ted cruz.any people think before this month is out he will announce that he is running for president of the united states. not responding to questions just now. we do expect to hear from him very, very shortly. we will bring that to you live when it happens. we should tell you the president said he would be happy to shut down the government to get money for the border wall. at this moment, house and senate negotiators are debating that and other border issues, trying to head off another shutdown before friday. going into the weekend hopes were high they might get a deal done. those hopes faded but now maybe they unfaded over the last few hours because they've sat down for another round of talks. dana bash is following the action. she joins us now. what is the status right now with this new meeting? >> unfaded is definitely the word of the night, john berman. this is something that is coming from the room where the negotiators are meeting inside the capitol on the senate side. our team up there

i remember when i worked for jeb, ted cruz wins i'd wa and he becomes canadian. we couldn't ee it with the shutdown with the government workers being out of work, he couldn't get out of it. he painted himself in a corner. i'm curious if that will happen this time. >> something tells me the media will still cover trump. >> i agree with you. we will see. its still very early and we're getting a lot of 2020. >>> a lot more to come senator debbie stabenow will join me. plus, what in the world is going on in virginia? >>> first, do the 2020 elections truly begin this week? democrats blanket early primary states as elizabeth warren and amy klobuchar launch they're campaigns. we will talk about where the democratic party stands. okay, paint a picture for me. uh, well, this will be the kitchen. and we'd like to put a fire pit out there, and a dock with a boat, maybe. why haven't you started building? well, tyler's off to college... and mom's getting older... and eventually we would like to retire. yeah, it's a lot. but td ameritrade can help you build a plan for today an

i mean, the idea of taking on ted cruz, someone who is such a polarizing figure, everybody within texaseverybody within the republican party is onee thing, but o'rourke has some degree of respect for john cornin who is a much more middle of the road republican it's hard to get fired up to do the same thing again against a guy who you think isag okay, despite fac that he's a recognize of the other party.co i think if o'rourke is going to get in this, based on my conversations with people around him, and with folks in texas, it will be in that presidential race. now, there are plenty of people in el paso, plenty of people who followed o'rourke's career who think maybe he's not ready. maybe he should take another run at thed senate race, or wait a couple of years, and run for governor. i think just from getting to know him in the people around him, the idea of getting that fired up to do the same thing again, against a guy who they find much less disagreeable. doesn't hold a lot of water. >>> two guests who came to play tonight. our thanks to todd and garrett. great conversation, we'll do

prosecutors are trying to seize assets connected to el chappo and ted cruz has an idea on how to spend that money. he tweeted prosecutors are seeking $14 billion in assets which should go towards funding our wall to secure the border. some say that money is in mexico. experts on drug trafficking say most of the el chappo acids seized by authorities along to mexico. circuit family in napa valley is criticized for shooting and killing a metlife. they say it attacked their sheep. tom reports it is also part of a wildlife study.>> reporter: they live outsiof napa lost two sheep on two consecutive not night ife, which the husband shot on the third night since the cat came back again. she told me i found that even though they called agencies to assist, they acted when no one came solely to protect their livestock in children. unfortunately, the family has gotten criticism from some say they should put the sheep in a covered cage to keep predators out pick >> predators can get in white easily. >> reporter: doctor martin of the ranch, living with alliance project, was holding a collar that he

senator ted cruz recently met with new diplomatic rep incentives from the venezuelan opposition. pushing a creative solution to the border barrier funding conundrum. senator cruz, republican member of the foreign relations committee from texas joins us now. great to have you with this. >> always good to be with you. >> shannon: let's talk about the situation in venezuela. i want to put up a tweet from congresswoman ilhan omar. she said u.s. backed coup in venezuela is not a solution to the dire issues they face. trump's efforts to install a fiery deposition will not only incite violence and further destabilize the region. we must support mexico, uruguay, and the vatican's effort to facilitate a peaceful dialogue. >> we are seeing in the democratic party they are just galloping to the left. we thought of the state of the union last week where half the democrats refused to even say we wouldn't become a socialist country. and this is part and parcel with the same thing. there has always been the extreme voices in the democratic party that defend communist dictatorships, that stand w
