i am grateful for the opportunity to speak to ted cruz. this is met with a lot of support on social media. this is an example of people with different points of the working together to solve a problem. gary says this is a good thing, more of this, it would look good on all of you if you didn't come out of the calling names which they didn't. another twitter user said this was amazing to watch, both sides have an open dialogue. we need this. there positions remain unchanged but they did talk about toning down the rhetoric and the meeting ended with a hug. heather: had cruz asked for the meeting, let's sit down and talk. >> caller: very heated on social media but the conversation was very civil. heather: members of the new york mets and new york giants visiting with new york at the bravest to commemorate the anniversary of 9/11. >> the tweet saying led by pitcher stephen max that is true 32 program, they made the trip to latter 138 in queens, the visit was to commemorate the anniversary of 9/11. the giants releasing these photos and a tweet

i do not like ted cruz at all, that man ted cruz can [bleep]. >> it's trump derangement syndrome.eft is always allowed to do comedy and art, but conservatives aren't given the same excuse. we are not able to use it. but at the end of the today it's worth the me too movement. if any one of us did that we would be band from network television. it's gross and it's uncomfortable to hear that. jesse: conservatives i don't think have the comedic license liberals comedians have. kamala harris has an exchange with one of her voters a little while ago. and i think that voter called the president of the united states the "r" word and she was laughing about it. and she said afterward i didn't hear what he said. >> the reason they call donald trump's actions [bleep] because they are. >> i know people don't like that word, but we have to use it. >> we have to use it. they get a pass over and over again. but wasn't it the left crying about donald trump when they said he was making disparaging comments and hand motions during this campaign about people with disabilities. jesse: he does that when

and so, david, ted cruz is impressed with what democrats have already achieved in texas. >> ted cruzcoming off a real scare at the hands of broeeto o'rourke somebody who tonight seemed to get his stride back, had his confidence back and particularly on the issue of guns, and ted cruz at the moment you were talking about was talking about specifically guns and the issue of guns in texas, coming after el paso. look, at the end of the day, texas may be another cycle from turning blue. if it goes blue, republicans are done, and they're done for a generation, but what ted cruz is failing to do is shape public opinion in texas around guns. beto was trying to do it, and democrats are trying to do it nationwide. if they can shape public opinion instead of just following public opinion, democrats could eventually flip texas. >> and jonathan, latest quinnipiac poll showing 53% of texans support new gun legislation. >> right, i mean, things are changing in the lone star state. you know, people, for instance, they assume that it's a -- conservative. >> i'm sorry, we've got to cut you off, the de

ted cruz did not win in a landslide against beto o'rourke.t seat and to keep that seat. let's not forget, republicans lost in alabama senate seat, and that's the reddest estate in the country. >> melissa: those issues you talked about sound like they are about candidates, not electorate necessarily. >> katie: you also look at demographics on the map of texas. >> kennedy: but still. >> juan: you are fun. [laughter] >> kennedy: it's friday! think so much to the fantastic juan williams. have a beautiful weekend. we are back monday at noon eastern. right now, here's harris faulkner. >> harris: the next wave of facts on this former fbi director, or deputy director, andrew mccabe, could soon be indicted. no calling for criminal charges against him. this is "outnumbered overtime," i'm harris faulkner. the u.s. attorney in washington, d.c., is recommending charges of lying to investigators. it was breaking news at this hour yesterday and more developments today. the doj rejected a last-minute appeal from mccabe's legal team. president trump's attorne

i do not like ted cruz at all that man ted cruz can -- [bleep] >> well, i mean, tommy wasn't that --ng along same lines. >> trump derangement syndrome but the funny thin is left is always allowed to do comedy and to do art and they always can give excuse that it is comedy and art but conservatives aren't given the same really excuse when notot able to use it but where's the me too movement that was that comment -- where are they not up in arms? >> where arehey? >> if we did that yeah if we did that we would be banned from network television for life and frankly it was unkivel to hear that. >>o conservatives i don't think have the -- comeed comedic license that liberal has and that's clear and we have d.l. he considers himself a comedian. kamala harris had exchange with one of her voters a little while ago and that i think thatt votesser had called the president of the united states the recognition word or something like that, and she acted she was laughing at it and shee said afterwards i didn't hear what heft said here's dl on that. >>the reason they call donald trump action is beca

rob: ted cruz says gun-control doesn't work. look at chicago as an example. >> i disagree.tart somewhere and gun control is the start of that. we need to look at universal background checks, banning assault rifles and start step one to get to step 2 and end this mass shooting culture we are in. rob: thanks for your time, appreciate it. juan guaido after leaving widespread damage and flooding in the bahamas we are watching the impacts of the deadly hurricane, hurricane dorian as it inches closer to the florida coast. rob: police in vero beach working to keep people safe in their community. jillian: let's check what is coming up on "fox and friends". brian: where you left off, it is inching towards the east coast, that is exactly what it is, it is inching. it hasn't moved much in 24 hours. we will discuss this and all the challenges of dealing with dorian with the governor of georgia, brian kemp, will be here live. the storm is not slamming into florida, we are looking at the east coast. great americans of all time, american hall of famer jim mattis talking about leadership a

advice got ted cruz reelected so clearly it is not a swing state. let us be honest. it is a solid red state, maybe it is trending less solid, but it is not anything that is going to be several election cycles before there is any meaningful -- a lot of it is this by out flat -- outsiders of this bias, look at this bennett population. a large portion of the hispanic population in texas is fifth-generation. this is not the hispanic population you will run into in florida or other parts of the country. oversimplified to growing hispanic means only democrats will win. tim: the last time we got together, the four of us and beth, it was on the eve of the first democratic presidential debate, and we were sort of gaining out what the primary and democratic side would look out versus what the chaotic primary looked like on the republican side in 2016. there are similarities and differences. one of the big similarities that we were noting is how joe biden as a candidate reminded us in a not insignificant way of jeb bush. i would say that one of these, not the biggest developmen

protecting our second amendment. >> one of the big issues we'll talk about now with republican senator ted cruzs. senator cruz, thank you for joining us this morning. and i do want to get to guns but first that breaking news i spoke to senator klobuchar about, justice kavanaugh. you are a member of the senate judiciary committee as well. what do you make of these new revelations from "the new york times," the calls from julian castro to impeach justice kavanaugh? >> well, george, good morning, good to be with you. i read that "the new york times" article this morning. you know, i got to say they apparently spent ten months with undercover reporters trying to track down every person that went to school with justice kavanaugh 30 years ago. you know, it's an amazing level of reporting trying to just really dig up any dirt they can on the guy. i think that follows up with the rather shameful circus we saw during the confirmation hearing where they took allegations, they sat on them, they didn't make them public, they revealed them at the 11th hour, and you know what, the judiciary committee did wha

our political panel they are chris wilson he was director of research and digital strategy for ted cruz's 2016 presidential campaign he's in oklahoma city and in atlanta robin by row democratic strategist and former obama campaign regional field director do you guys think that donald trump is going to debate the next democratic nominee and should he chris. you know i don't have any insight into what the trump campaign would do in this situation but i would be shocked if he did not i mean dollars from what dollars trump in 2016 was a surprisingly. agile debater and he never went in and like really knocked anybody off the stage if you will the use of metaphorically of course although him bush may have comforted pretty close figuratively but having said that i will say having worked for ted cruz who was a former national champion and runner up in world champion debater we really didn't expect trump to be as good as he was and you know that he is a fighter he's somebody who doesn't shy away from a head to head battle with somebody so to think that he would miss the chance to debate a joe bide

donald trump is going in the ted cruz direction two. what is the message. very populace.think the road invaded by different things. elizabeth warren is motivated by the leaving. ted cruz is the leaving there are two powers. you see this emerging alliance the might be growing. interesting diamond dynamics. carrie: if we had the editor-in-chief of the new york times and the presidency and any other number of executives here in this conversation with us. what would you say to them and their advice to them in terms of looking at the country because certainly an argument i heard over and over again of people who are critics of donald trump as he is dividing the country. to what extent are these national media outlets dividing the country. brent: they have been for years. i would tell them the when if we were all meeting here and i walked out, there would not be a need to mitigate trump but that is the belief system the they had. we go with him very surprised, that i didn't have smoking horns. i remember years ago when i was having dinner in hollywood. hosted a dinner for me in

i helped ted cruz when the primary. that some point you have to have some principles and standards, and i have been unwilling to surrender all of those to support donald trump. so will he win in wisconsin? the caveat was i did not think he would win in 2016, but i that wisconsin will be the battleground state. i think it is a microcosm of the rest of the country. and the vote is divided into urban, rural, and a suburban. there are democratic strongholds, hard-core republican strongholds. donald trump won in wisconsin because he flipped the northern rural parts of the state. many counties that voted for barack obama twice voted for donald trump. the question is, will democrats turn out in big numbers in milwaukee, in places like dane county. in the midterms, they did. but it is a different ballgame with the general election. so if i knew who the democratic nominee was, i could give it a stronger prediction. so far, most of the democrats are leading donald trump, but i think the candidates actually matter. and i do think

i mean, ted cruz said you're courageous.he fact you two, and alliyssa could sit in a conversation and have this conversation for 90 minutes, hopefully it's the beginning of more and more progress and to use your word, prescription. fred gutinberg, thank you very much for talking. >> i hope so. >> thank you. >>> up next, calls for philadelphia's acting police commissioner to resign after an old photo surfaced where she's wearing a t-shirt appearing to make light of the rodney king beating in los angeles. you'll see the city meeting that got so heated over this issue. y should always be working harder. that's why, your cash automatically goes into a money market fund when you open a new account. just another reminder of the value you'll find at fidelity. open an account today. i come face-to-face with a lot of behinds. so i know there's a big need for new gas-x maximum strength. it relieves pressure, bloating and discomfort fast. so no one needs to know you've got gas. gas-x. doprevagen is the number oneild mempharmacist-recom

you know, he says he supported ted cruz, but what issue is different than what ted cruz did? that's just a scam, a pretense to give him some credibility that he's a republican or a conservative. he mentioned his conduct and his character. what was wrong with his conduct and character since being in office? i would think you would go to the issues. what did he do that this man, sykes, disagrees with that he has him all siekd out about. >> charlie sykes. >> well, where do you want to start? as a conservative, when i was on the radio i probably had paul ryan on my show 1,000 times, 100 times, to talk about the deficit and the debt. i remember the tea party movement concerned about that and now we have trillion dollar a year deficits. let's start with that. we used to believe in free trade rather than the kind of protectionist trade wars that we have right now. i'm old enough to remember when republicans did not kiss up to thuggish dictators and try to appease people like vladimir putin and kim jong-un. i also remember when we said that things like character mattered, when it was

may have comforted pretty close figured early but having said that i will say having worked for ted cruz who was a former national champion and runner up in world champion debater we really didn't expect trump to be as good as he was and you know that he is a fighter he's somebody who doesn't shy away from a head to head battle with somebody so to think that he would miss the chance to debate a joe biden or it was before and i would be shocked if he did anything other than go with and then excitedly jumped up on that stage robin what do you think. it depends matthew on who the you nominee is i would say that strategically he wants it to be joe biden and if the nominee is in fact joe biden he absolutely should debate him and would because he. we could probably get him off of his game and get him to stumble and make a few of these infamous gaps that he makes almost on the daily so that would be a good strategic move for him now if that nominee is elizabeth warren i don't know she's much more quick on her heels she is a fighter i think that his best move for teacher glee and what he would u

advice got ted cruz reelected so clearly it is not a swing state. let us be honest. it is a solid red state, maybe it is trending less solid, but it is not anything that is going to be several election cycles before there is any meaningful -- a lot of it is this by out flat -- outsiders of this bias, look at this bennett population. a large portion of the hispanic population in texas is fifth-generation. this is not the hispanic population you will run into in florida or other parts of the country. oversimplified to growing hispanic means only democrats will win. tim: the last time we got together, the four of us and beth, it was on the eve of the first democratic presidential debate, and we were sort of gaining out what the primary and democratic side would look out versus what the chaotic primary looked like on the republican side in 2016. there are similarities and differences. one of the big similarities that we were noting is how joe biden as a candidate reminded us in a not insignificant way of jeb bush. i would say that one of these, not the biggest developmen

first, on a human level, what did you see when you looked at senator ted cruz?sue right now, especially in regards to mass shootings in this country and the apparent weapon of choice, which is usually the ar-15 assault rifle in which these killers kill people. i think he understands. i said to him no 17-month-old baby should ever have shrapnel in her chest in this country. i think he gets it. now, to understand it and then to have the courage and the fortitude to do something about it are two very, very different things. so i'm cautiously optimistic that he knows the issue and hopeful, i guess, that he's willing to do something about it. you know, he takes a lot of money from the nra. we all know this. he has been on the wrong side of this issue, but i do understand how fossilized we are as far as parties. and the most important thing i think in this -- on this issue is that this is not even a bipartisan issue, this is a nonpartisan issue. children are dying in this country from gun violence. 40,000 people a year are dying in this country from gun violence. >> y

you ran against ted cruz in a senate campaign.sy it was to be different from ted cruz? [ laughter and applause >> where is ted cruz when you need him >> seth: yeah, exactly [ laughter ] >> you know what - >> seth: very rarely uttered, and yet, here we are yeah [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause >> true. you know, what was so great about that campaign in texas, beyond getting a chance to run against ted cruz, was running in a state that had been taken for granted. really written off ranked 50th in voter turnout and in addition to getting to debate him, we went to every single one of the 254 counties in that state. so no matter how big or blue, we showed up because we didn't want to take it for granted no matter how small or red or rural, we showed up there, too, because we didn't want to write you off. some places had voted for donald trump 96% in the 2016 election. one place, archer county, that we went to, no candidate from senate from either party had shown up in 70 years when lbj dropped out of the sky in a helicopter in 1948,

last night he specifically visited at least two republicans, ted cruz and josh holly of texas and missouri. he is expected back on capitol hill today and later this week to have more conversations. senate judiciary chairman lindsey graham said barr still of not have a clear answer where trump stands on background checks. they are basically work shopping ideas to bring to the president to see how he feels about them because there is anxiety among republicans in congress to pass anything that the president might not like because of his repeated strategy of hitting hard on republicans who do not walk the party line. a party line is what the .residentants if the president doesn't like it, they could feel the political heat. host: what do we know that the president will accept and when might we hear his proposal? those two things are very much up in the air right now. last week, chris murphy, to me, --toomey, and mansion thought they would hear a 24,osal from trump within 48 hours. we have gotten only glimpses of gun trump would accept as control legislation and he has been variable. he moved h

ted cruz says he's thinking about another presidential campaign. for the presidential nomination in 2016 was, quote, the most fun he's ever had and notes he came very close to winning. speaking of close, cruz acknowledges his home state of texas not nearly as red as it used to be. >> i think texas is going to be hotly contested in 2020. i believe the president will win texas. >> with what percentage? >> i think it will be closer than last time. i also believe john cornyn will be reelected. but both will have a serious race in the state of texas. >> what do we make of that, and what do we make of this new ted cruz? he streamed live on facebook the other day, he met with actress alyssa molano to talk guns. >> i think they're trying to talk more about guns in texas so they won't be caught off guard. >> what's happening at the state house level is also very important. i think he's trying to sound the alarm. republican donors need to know texas is not the safe place that it was. >> it also looks like he's keeping his options open. if his base shifts in

political action committee for ted cruz became number 2. david bossie a mercer family stalwart became number 3. robert mercer has assembled team was in place. bannon basi and conaway would from this point forward steer the republican candidate strategy. when the merc versus decide to support a candidate they expect the candidates to be responsive to their needs both in terms of how the candidate runs their campaign it also also after if the kid is successful and there are and they are elected as an office holder it's reasonable to presume that the mercers expect that the office holder will be responsive to the mercer's needs needs as well and their policy preferences. robert mercer his plan was proving to be successful. but a mistake was made that made steve bannon's role controversial. here's what was discovered by looking at donald trump's official campaign books each of these lines corresponds to an expense during his 5 month tenure there was no trace of payments for steve benen. but when we look at the payments made by robert mercer as

i'm grateful for the opportunity to speak with ted cruz.mocrats are putting pressure on republicans to take a vote on the senate floor to terminate the national emergency use to fund the border wall with mexico. the white house announced last week $3.6 billion will be moved from 127 military project to construct the wall. >> the president's national emergency declaration wasn't is an outrageous power grab by a president who refuses to respect the constitutional separation of powers. >> reporter: congress is up against the clock to fund the government, a deadline at the end of this month, a republican source on the hill told fox news donald trump may want a shutdown and views it as politically damaging for the democrats who will not support that border wall. >> thanks a lot. majority republicans in the senate facing the squeeze from chuck schumer trying to push a vote on donald trump's border emergency and mitch mcconnell pushing ahead with potential vote on guns. all this as the nation's capital digests the departure of john bolton. much to

ted cruz did very well in the primary but since then, republicans are on board here in the state and it would be a heavy lift to beat him in the primary. for that part of the republican fracture coming together and wisconsin. >> host: before we leave the question, can you talk about the demographic trends in the state and what should viewers know about 2016 and 2020? >> it's like a lot of states in the upper midwest. that's no surprise in terms of politics, you know, republicans have done well since 2010 and finally broke the dam in 2016, but the state remains pretty stableta from 2016 to 2020. there's not a lot of growth. there is obviously a large african-american population here in milwaukee, smaller in madison and there is a heavy latino vote but the state remains the same. >> host: if you want to talk fwisconsin politics, bill is our guest joining on the c-span bus. if you want to check out the no walkie sentinel on the tale of two governors what have we learned in the first few months in office? >> guest: things have returned to normalcy. scott walker was a very polarizing figu

ted cruz if he was bringing a knife to the fight, trump could bring a nuclear weapon. i think that identifying that weakness in the party was trump's greatest asset as he began his hostile takeover of the gop. >> one of the things that's stuck out to me in the book is you spend time in the book with paul ryan, john boehner, pretty much every leading republican figure over the last 10 years, certainly a lot of the establishment figures and some of the tea party online figures almost all of them you can tell recognized that they misunderstood the tea party movement. this was not really about fiscal conservativism or the animating feature of a lot of the voters and i thought one scene that was telling and maybe you could tell the audience is you talk to newt gingrich, he's probably asking observer as anyone about how to sort of these and satisfy the republican primary voter. what did you learn in 2012? do you remember? >> i do. well, newt gingrich was at a crossroads in his primary campaign for the presidency in 2012 and he tried just about everything to get the media's a

you might remember this attack on ted cruz during the primaries. >> lying ted, oh, he lies. >> and ofcomes from someone who has lied more than 12,000 times as president according to "the washington post." ted cruz was pretty quick to push back and diagnose the problem. >> this man is a pathological liar, in a pattern that i think is straight out of a psychological textbook. his response is to accuse everybody else of lying. >> this impulse to deflect and project continued to the general election. so when trump was accused of being the most corrupt candidate ever, clinton became crooked hillary. when trump came under fire for racist appeals he called her a big got. when clinton raised questions about trump's erratic behavior he called her unstable and unhinged. >> he'd rather have a puppet as president of the united states. >> no puppet. >> it's pretty clear. >> you're the puppet. >> that last one was more of an impulsive bleep rather than evidence of strategy, but of course it's continued in office. during the mueller investigation trump kept saying there was no collusion except by cr
