road texas. and i think the point of the graph is to say we sure aren't emitting that much on our roads. look at this little circle. and i interpreted as we drivers in texas are responsible for half a percentage. all the emissions in the whole world. that's like absolutely staggering to me that like that honestly fueled a lot of my reporting for the book is like that gives it the urgency like highway expansion is going to take people's homes it's going to pollute our air. all of those things are terrible. but what we absolutely know is it will significantly increase greenhouse gas emissions and it's not going to solve the problem set out to solve. so we are like drivers in texas, these highway expansions that i profiled in the book have a measurable impact on global warming worldwide like that is really staggering to me and also is like an opportune city to be like, hey, we, we in texas if we stop these like that could also have a material impact on worldwide global climate emissions. one of thin

hello, texas. it is good to be back in texas. thank you, all. thank you, thank you, thank you, everybody. thank you for being here this evening. can we hear it for miss tina knowes and for miss kelly and beyonce. what a warm, texas welcome and i thank you all so very much. i thank you and i thank you my friends for reminding us of exactly what we are fighting for in this campaign. we are fighting for freedom! freedom! freedom! to everybody here tonight whose lives have been impacted by these trump abortion bans at this moment. i thank you for sharing your story and for your courage. it is an honor to be here with so many leaders and all of you who have taken the time out of your busy lives to be here this evening. so, we as a community of people and the people who love our country be clear, stand strong and stand in favor of the freedom of every woman to make decisions about her own body. i also want to thank the members of congress that are here including aldred so we can get right to work. and to all the elected officials and community leaders

in texas. doctors and nurses can go to prison in life simply for providing reproductive care. think about that. life in prison. for health care providers. for doing what they think is in their patient's best interest. you know what? the beauty of our campaign is we are fighting for democracy. and what we know here in texas is there are some who would distract from the fact that texas has a law now that offers a cash bounty for turning in someone who merely helps a friend or a family member get the care they need. in texas. the law provides for prison in life for health care providers for doing what they believe is in the best interest of their patients. in some counties in texas, they have passed travel bans to prevent women from going to other state to receive care. these are the stakes. and we know how we got here. when donald trump was president, he hand selected three members of the united states supreme court with the intention that they would undo the protections of roe v. wade. as he int

[cheers] for all texas women, for all the texas families, for all the texas families. last five years. i cannot imagine at one of our appointments, the doctor comes in and says the problem with the baby, with my wife, but there's nothing i can do because ted cruz things he knows better. that's not who we are. i am a fourth generation texan. we believe in freedom and this is not it. so here's what we are going to do, this is what we are going to do, texas. in 10 days, we are going to beat ted cruz. in 10 days, and when we do, we are going to make roe v. wade the law of the land again. [cheers] no more of this -- that's right. [crowd chanting "beat ted cruz!" ] that's right. beat ted cruz. for all the texas families, for all the families who are looking for a senator that's looking out for them, i will never abandon you when you need me most. i will protect your fundamental rights. i will bring us together around our shared values. i will remind us that we have more in common than what divides us. we might have come here on different ships, but we are in the same boat no

texas families in texas women.[raucous cheering and applause] with your help and god's grace we will be ted cruz. [raucous cheering and applause] that's right. [crowd chanting] that's right. you hear that, ted? let's go, texas. all right. yell know i believe in a different texas than ted cruz does. i was raised by a single mother, a public school teacher, and we don't pay our teachers enough. [raucous cheering and applause] i relied on my community on my teachers and coaches who went above and beyond and poured themselves into me. i became captain of the football team at baylor and was a linebacker in the nfl and became a civil rights lawyer and served in congress the last six years. [cheering and applause] my time in congress, i've been the exact opposite of ted cruz. [cheering and applause] i never forgot where i came from. i never forgot the folks who gave me a chance. i've been the most bipartisan texan in congress because that's how you get things done. [raucous cheering and applause] that's what people elect

what happens in texas does not stay in texas.s will be seen and clipped on social media across the internet in the final days of this campaign. we are waiting for i think one of andrea, the woman in this very powerful harris campaign ad about abortion that was released today. she will be taking the stage. beyonce and beyonce's mother will take the stage. i don't know if you had read about this, but this is one of the more galling instances and there are so many. of trump's misinformation in this election. there is a new pac called the rbg pac as in ruth bader ginsburg. a republican pac started on october 16th to help trump win pro choice voters. by basically suggesting that trump is aligned on the issue of abortion with the late great supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg. this is the caption from the ad. is they have launched two abortion themed ads besigned to fool people who care about abortion rights into believing that trump doesn't have an extreme agenda on the issue of choice. first of all, what's your reaction, and se

i trust texas women and have had two baby boys in texas.annot imagine the doctor would come in and there is nothing i can do because ted cruz thinks he knows better. when i am in the senate we will restore roe v. wade again and make these stories, horrific experiences all over our state, something of the past. >> you did not answer the question, do you support or oppose exceptions for rape and incest? >> if you listen to his answer at no point did he make a reference to his record. he wants to hide that he voted to strike down parental notification laws and parental consent, voted to legalize late-term abortions, he says he wants to codify roe v. wade but tonight i suspect he will run away and we have a website called already facts.com. every time he gives an answer we will show you the vote that he cast. as for the law that decision will be made by the legislature. he is running ads saying i made this decision. i'm not the governor. he knows that. >> i want to be very clear, i support protections and restrictions under roe v. wade but sena

and texas engineer asked that. and to go back to your previous question about sprawl like we have built cities the car it's not easy to to reverse that it's not going to happen tomorrow like we have to retrofit our cities in some way and there is going to be like some perhaps short term with that. i mean, i would argue that term pain is much less than the pain of living through the hottest summer on record for example like that like we absolutely have huge urgency to change how get around and move but like indeed that that and i'm not trying to undersell how difficult of a challenge that is i think for me it's like i look at the money are going to spend on these highway expansions $65 billion over the coming decade imagine what we could do if put that money into bus rapid transit like imagine what we could do if we built light rail with that money. so i think like beginning to think about how we spend our as a state and what is it prioritizing and incentivizing is like to me the transition plan is like a bus that c

does not stay in texas.000 people who will see it live. this will be seen and clipped on social media across the internet in the final days of this campaign. clearly exactly what the harris campaign is going for. symone we are going to hear shortly, we are waiting for, i think, andrea, the woman in this very powerful harris campaign add abortion -- campaign ad abortion and beyonce's mother will take the stage. as we wait for them i don't know if you read about this, there is one of the more galling incidents and there are so many of trump's misinformation and disinformation. there is a new pac called the rbg, as in ruth bator ginsberg. to help trump win voters -- ruth bader ginsburg t. has a photo of the two of them together. you will see on the screen, great minds think alike. this is, this is a caption from the ad. they have launched two abortion themed ads. designed to fool people who care about abortion rights into believing trump does not have an extreme agenda on the issue of choice. what, first of all

moving to texas from other states.t we've done on the border in the state of texas we have decreased illegal immigration by 85% those who he show up are moved to other states across the country we are hiring texans putting texans to work as well as texas atracked to people from other states coming for jobs but there is no state in america that has more new jobs, issue better than great state of texas. maria: what you've done in terms of the economy certainly, allowing you know job creation for citizens is just stunning. as you actually hold the line on illegal migration, you got to tell us about this new data we just got from ice coms enforcement data reveal more than 125,000 illegal migrants convicted criminals in u.s. living outside ice detention part of 13,000 convicted of murder more than 15,000 being convicted of sexual assault. now they're on nondetained docket meaning not priortized, for detention in jail or ice does not know where they are how possible department of homeland security does not moye where these p

influences a big problem in south texas. -- insulin is a big problem and south texas. she voted against that. ms. flores: under president trump, we already had prescriptions at $35, but then biden and his administration removed those policies. then they wanted to fix the problem and put it back in place . this bill, in reality, most of this money was sent abroad. it was not focused on the american people. every bill he has voted in favor of, it has not been in favor of us here in texas 34. he voted ringing millions of dollars for something he's that she voted in bringing millions of dollars for something to help with texas but sent millions of dollars abroad. mr. gonzalez: she is completely wrong. i hope somebody's fact checking it. trump did not have $35 insulin costs. he did not cap insulin costs and did not cap senior citizen cost at $2000 a year. >> we're going to move on. we asked viewers to summit questions for this debate. -- to submit questions for the debate. here is one of those questions, the most asked question. >> more than 60 questions and the cost of gro

things start in texas so often.re in a court system that leads to hostile supreme court. when you look at texas, the number of ob/gyn's fleeing, idaho, missouri, ohio until they passed their abortion ban and also we can't forget talking about med students who don't want to go there and who don't want to be there. so we really find ourselves in a health care desert that is terrifying, that not only are you not able to access reproductive care when it comes to abortion, ivf birth control but just to make sure you can get cancer screenings. if doctors can't provide that, what is the message we're telling to anybody with a uterus? you don't matter? >> yeah. erin, now actually have names. women have died. two women in georgia. names of people who are victims of this policy, and it does feel important that vice president harris and that she's gotten beyonce to come and make this case right there in the heart of texas. and one of the most suppressed counties in texas. harris county. >> yeah. don't forget, beyonce is somebo

it's not just about texas.out the press and publicity that comes out of having beyonce, willie nelson on the stage and having women who have been impacted by the reversal of roe versus wade. that's a very powerful message. texas has been ground zero for women suffering horrific tragedies and having to deal with the aftermath of roe. she's going to be able to use that momentum and push that she's better for reproductive rights for women. >> all the star power with the vice president and surrogates going across the country for her, do surrogates like this matter? >> i think beyonce in texas is a -- >> can they make a difference? >> it's a pretty good one. at the end of the day every sliver matters. look at how the trump campaign is trying to peel away young men, black men, hispanic men to peel away from the democratic party. every voter on the margins -- it's a really close election. anyone you can get matters. >> doesn't seem like trump is trying to get the voters on the margins. he's not trying to broaden his a

look, texas is the backdrop. the audience of the swing states, democrats have not really tried to in texas since i started in politics. and mike dukakis picked lloyd benson in 1988, this texas senator, we took a shot at it. we didn't come close john noted, no one's come close a long time. so she's not going down there to try to win texas. it would be great, but it's not going to happen. she went down there to talk to the people in michigan and pennsylvania and wisconsin and elsewhere where the battle has really been joined. and i think the reason she's in texas is because texas famously has one of the most restrictive reproductive rights laws in the country, women in texas have faced enormous barriers to their health. some of them have been put in extreme danger because of what has happened there. and in other places, in other red states so i think it's a very good place for her to be doing this, but let me just respond one, socialism and fascism are very, very different. fascism is right-wing authoritarianism. a

maternal mortality in texas has risen 56% and texas women have told the country their stories repeatedlyexas to save their lives. >> i wanted to be here, close to home. it's the hardest thing i've been through. i wanted to come home, cry into my own pillow, hold my babies and be near my doctors. >> reporter: as the texas supreme court is debating this, what are you going through? >> i didn't hardly get out of bed. stressed. i had the timeline. i couldn't wait. >> what did you decide to do? >> we had to go out of state. >> texas republican senator rafael edward cruz, who is now running scared in his reelection campaign, had nothing to say about the supreme court's decision today. new polling shows that senator cruz's silence may include some of the reasons why democrats now believe they have a very strong chance of taking that senate seat away from the republicans in november. joining us now is the democratic candidate in texas, congressman colin allred. he's the democratic nominee running for the united states senate against senator cruz. i just wanted to share with the audience the late

steve contorno in austin, texas. thank you so much. cnn. senior white house correspondent, mj lee is with us now, so mj texas, of course is not a battleground state, yet we fight and both candidates there and harris, things that despite the fact that she almost certainly won't win that state, there's a message that's going to resonate, not just there, but across the country. >> yeah, you know, the shorthand for tonight that i've heard from some campaign officials is the location is texas, but the audience is the battleground states look, we have 11 days let's to go a lot of states are actually already doing early voting and the voters that the campaign would most like to reach right now are the voters who are in the middle of this decision-making process and ultimately convinced them that the vision that harris is presenting is better than donald trump's america. and that's exactly why they've chosen texas for tonight's rally for the vice president to talk about the issue of reproductive rights. this has been an issue that she has been out

and by the way, earlier today when he also wasn't in texas would be i'd say today kamala is here in texas to rub shoulders with woke celebrities, isn't that exciting you think celebrity endorsements will be for the average voter thinking about their politics i think it's a huge one. >> you know, those who are professionals, those are all hands at this. they're going to make up their minds. but for somebody who is fence-sitting or not sure, or trying to question what correction they should take. this could play a significant role. and if you're a fan of beyonce and if you follow her religiously then you know that she is a woman who speaks few words. but when they do come out there authentic, there powerful, they're meaningful. so what she said tonight is quite meaningful, and i think it will have a great impact on those who are trying to figure out what to do, what they're destiny truly is they're just now i saw the destiny reference i knew it was coming >> nice to see you. thank you so much. always great to see you laura coates well, thank you all for watching our live coverage continues

senate in texas. thanks for being with us tonight. this is always tricky in texas.e get close and there is an energy about the fact that it's going to happen, it's going to happen, and something goes weird. so where are you now, with 18 days to go in this election. you are closing in. this race is really, really tight. were you thinking? >> well, thank you for having me on. i'm here in austin. and this is not going to be about our past here in texas. this is about our future. and a very fundamental choice do we have to make, with a senator who, for 12 years, has shown is exactly who he is, and what he is not interested in doing, which is representing the people of this state. that is how you can go to cancun when folks need you most. that is how you can try to work to overthrow the american presidential election, take away a woman's right to choose. versus someone like me, who is been the most bipartisan texan in congress, who has a record of getting things done for our stay, and who wants to serve all 30 million of us. so i know that our past is something that is i

it would have helped texas.that president obama and the senators were working on to reform our legal immigration system. he's done this his entire career. he'll never get the job done. texans are understanding that. if we continue to do the same thing and expect a different result, that's the definition of insanity. >> congressman, i want to get your reaction real quickly on the topic we spent a lot of time speaking about at the top of the show, the remarks we heard yesterday at madison square garden from trump allies. trump and others, could be considered divisive at least, but racist and beyond. what's your reaction? there is a huge latino population in texas who may have strong feelings about what they heard. >> yeah. texas is incredibly diverse. we are diverse in every sense. we have folks from all over the world who made their home in texas. my entire life, i've grown up in a state knowing that we have been a border state and are a state that embrace our diversity. we have our own version in ted cruz of som

people were like, why is she coming to texas? she's not going to win texas? well, this is a huge deal and to turn out this many people it's got to drive donald trump crazy, particularly because people are leaving his rally right now it's definitely be high enthusiasm. >> i mean, it is beyond say it's a very populated city. this is the optics are going to be really good but at the same time, okay? you are in texas ted cruz is likely going to win that race. i mean, i believe it is it is close. >> abortion makes sense to talk about in texas but abortion still is the only thing that i think people can sense. >> she really feels comfortable talking about and i think for a lot of swing voters, they need something more than that a trump is a true moderate on abortion. i mean, he said he's not going to create a national abortion ban. he said he wants all the exceptions, but also what else? what else is coming? harris is gonna do for i think it's hard to argue that trump is a true moderate on abortion when he i mean, he has bragged that he's the reason that dobbs is n

>> as i said in the debate, my family is from brownsville, texas, the tip of texas, my grandfather was there. nothing worse than coming down to the valley or going to a border community and pointing out problems but not being part of solutions. then you're using them why political backdrop. you are there to take your photo shoot and get out of there. like i said in the debate, to be on a safari and put on your outdoor clothes and try to look tough but never be part of the solution. we had a bill, in the united states senate for $20 billion for 1500 new border patrol officers and 100 new immigration judges, 400,000 asylum personnel, technology the catch fentanyl you say no to it because you think you're more important than our state. our border communities understand that as well. that is why we will vote him out it is unacceptable, you can't think you have a senator that think their election or short-term political interest is more important than 30 million texans. >> it is you, thank you for joining us. congressman: all right of texas. >>> when we come back, i will bring a little conv

women and texas families.pregnancies and seeking medical records on women who travel out- of-state and we have counties you cannot drive through the roads if you are using them to access a abortion and how will they enforce that? pull texas women over and asked them the nature of their travel? we are not going any further. on november 5 we will turn the page, we will restore freedom and make weight the law of the land again. it will not be a victory for me and our party but for the state and for women across the country. >> you are the only senate candidate endorsed by liz cheney. what you think that means for your campaign? >> liz and i are friends but that is not why she endorsed me, she knows that ted cruz is a threat to our democracy and if anybody watched the debate he and i had, when i started talking about january 6 he was over there giggling and i told him it was not funny and he is a threat to democracy because on henry six it was not just the folks at the top, ted cruz was the architect of that attem

now we turn to a beautiful texas teen who vanished without a trace. zoe campos was only 18 when she disappeared, prompting a desperate search to find her. her name is zoe campos, a beautiful, vibrant and happy young woman with a love for animals. >> she's very funny. the biggest heart, love to take in stray animals all kinds of animals, cats, dogs. we always had 2 or 3 of each one. and turtles. she liked turtles. >> the sweet 18 year old, who loved turtles cherished her family bonds, especially with her mother, melinda. >> we were always together and that's what they would tell my family would get with me and they'd be like, cut the umbilical cord already. that's how close we were before zoe went missing. >> she spent the day with her older sister, savannah, who never realized it might be their last. >> that night we went out to eat. we went out to have dinner, got a movie, and then we went home. it was like 1130. and i told her, you know, i'm going to go upstairs and go to sleep. you know, i'm tired. and i thought she was just going to go to sleep, t

i live in texas, ok?ple that don't know, for people that haven't been truly affected by this, by the immigration thing, come to texas . look at what these folks have done to the black community. they have totally taken over our communities, ok? it's really sad, for people to come and talk about it, it's one of the things from the past, but it's another to be totally stupid. mr. wolf, he didn't mention one time about how this has just totally destroyed our black communities. come to any city you want to come to. texas to california. you are going to see it for yourself. host: what do you mean by destroyed the black community? caller: i grew up here in fort worth texas. there are no more black communities because of the millions of illegals that have been let into this country. where do you think they come to? you think they are going out to one of those million dollar homes? they are not. they are right here. we tried that welcoming stuff, being nice. those folks don't like us. they come up here and totall

to every texas woman at home and every texas family watching this, understand that when ted cruz saysyours. >> joining us now is democratic congressman colin allred. he's the democratic candidate for senate in texas. thank you very much for joining us tonight. that's very, very powerful stuff from that debate and i just want to reemphasize the very first part of it that we showed, which was you making the point that you can't be for the mob on january 6th and for the officers, and ted cruz laughs at that, and the way you grabbed him on that, saying it's not funny, because it's a threat to democracy. that clearly, that part about it's not funny, and grabbing at that smile of his, was obviously something that happened in the moment. >> it was. thanks for having me on, lawrence. listen, there's nothing funny about it and i think he was uncomfortable because i think he knew that i was calling him out on his singular responsibility for being the architect of the attempt to overthrow an american presidential election, and that he knew that, in many ways, this election was is accountability.

>> kayleigh: it is the texas tuesday eight to step monitorinh candidates in texas and 1:30 p.m. eastern coming up former president trump delivers remarks on border security and what he calls migrant crime. it is happening in austin. senator ted cruz will be but tim. 8:30 p.m. eastern trump's used in texas and beyonce reported a label to join they are breaking out the celebrity vote. the celebrities vote. >> kayleigh: i'm sure they do unfortunately. >> have a blessed week and thank you for watching us. "america reports"'s next. >> the question that texans are asking themselves is no offense to beyonce, that it is a fair question, why do i care she is on stage with kamala harris? they should not be a popular contest when human trafficking making billions of dollars for the cartels. >> i think she will be tougher on the border and tougher on border security. >> why did you say that? >> as a former law enforcement officer or coach as she is fundamentally law enforcement officer. >> tens of thousands of migrants are surging north because they know the that they have a few more months

texas is keeping it.legal migrants coming across and we're going to keep the land and defend it. maria: what about the second piece of land? what will that be used for. >> after i got sworn in almost two years ago it was brought to my attention that one piece of property was a heavily trafficked area. the owner at the time was not only blocking the wall from being built, but she was blocking law enforcement from stepping on the property so once those bad guys, once the cartels and violent gangs, they know they have easy access to a property, they do exactly that. so we're seeing mass migrations across it. honestly, some of the first rape trees that were discovered were discovered on this property. i heard many stories of terrible, terrible things happening all day, every day, stash houses, all kinds of things. so we know how to deal with that. we made her an offer. we bought her ranch. within a few hours of purchasing that ranch, we were bull dosing down trees. i did it myself. it was super fun. in fact,

. >>> everything's bigger in texas, including the stakes.ald trump is about to speak in austin, and kamala harris is across the state in houston, where she's going to hold a rally on abortion rights with three sources telling us beyonce will be there as well. yamiche alcindor is in houston. what more can you tell us about the thinking there? >> reporter: well, the vice president wants to come to this state and make the case that the consequences of the abortion bans that went into effect after roe v. wade was overturned, that they have put women's lives at risk. in some states, killed women, and texas has been ground zero for that. she wants to make this a national appeal. she's trying to help unseat the democrat that is running against ted cruz for the u.s. senate seat, but that being said, she's going to be trying to hammer home the idea that women's lives are at risk. she's going to stand alongside women and men who suffered the consequences, they got infections, their doctors refused to give them carethy needed, and putting beyonce and w

texas is ground zero for the abortion. lot of people have lost their lives. they want to prosecute doctors. they want to prosecute citizens who just help women have bodily autonomy taking the fight to where it really start is super important. and i think it will go and make be a national message that can have ripple effect. plus she has the queen b. so like, why not go to beyond stays hometown? what a better message can you have? >> brad? i mean, she also did draw the former president, i guess, to texas today as well. so if are people complaining she's off the campaign trail and battleground states he is as well, at least really saw that texas is a great place further to campaign. and i think that vice president harris has a great chance tonight, no state has been impacted more by this administration's failure on an illegal illegal immigration. and then texas and it's the issue or that's costing her her best chance at the election right now, she trails known about 16. she leaves on a lot of issues, but immigration and the way this administration is handling i

>> well, kate, texas a battleground. it is not, but they're traveling there because they described it as the epicenter of abortion bans. the event will feature a texas couple, let a lawsuit against the state's abortion bans after suffering life-threatenin g pregnancy complications. she net williams, she is the mother of amber nikola thurman, who died in 2022 from a treatable infection due to delays in receiving reproductive care from georgia's restrictive abortion law. she will also be in attendance and that's what we have been seeing from the harris campaign they are elevating women to tell their own stories to illustrate some of the tragedies abortion restrictions have led to this all comes as vice president harris is aiming to show contrast with former president donald trump. take a listen it's that in the closing week, the enemies list. >> versus her to do list. now, as for today, in texas, the vice president going to be joined by beyonce for the first time on the campaign trail of texas, native, of course, as well a

>> it not, texas to go i can tell you, erin, i talked to people here are hoping that texas but of course you and i know that that's not the prediction for this year yeah. i mean, that would while you're looking at that, you're looking at talking about pollercoaster that would be the that will be the biggest mistake ever in polls and make 26 scene look like a garden, alright, thanks very much to you, paul begala up a texas is your home state. okay. at both of the candidates there today and obviously is not a swing state. harris is going to be taking the stage and i know that part of this is energizing that she is trying to do in general but i guess it's also about whether the democrats can slay ted cruz, which in and of itself would be a seismic event, right. and that's what they're aiming to do. is that really on the table? >> it's possible, but not likely. okay. but it's if it's going to happen. this is the year senator cruz is usually below 50 in the polling and this, is like a little pro tip. people look at polls. oh, she's up to, he's up one, don't look at that. when you have an incu

, texas. the other thing that i hope that our listeners and our viewers can walk away with is that i think that this we should also shift the way we think about and shift the focus where these studies should exist. we tend to, for example, emphasize major urban centers when we look at civil rights movements. and i think that there's something to be told about the borderlands, there's something to be told about rural communities and urban communities who don't get enough attention. the attention that they deserve. and i think it's something to work. note here that we should focus, refocus and reorient the way we try to explore these these pockets of communities for civil rights activism and those kinds things. so i have one final question, and then we're going to open it up for q&a. but are are you with your comments foreshadowing what's next for you? yeah. in fact i have sort of been told right. i've been violent by the descendants of teachers from this community that should, you know, sort of

yeah, the book takes place in texas. but it is very much like kind of pitched the book as texas is the worst offender of something that everyone everywhere doing every state in the country democrat republican led. it doesn't matter every major city they have a massive highway expansion in the works. so biden's infrastructure bill you know dedicated something like half $1,000,000,000,000 to road what roadways. and a recent study found that about a quarter of that funding is going to highway expansion. so, you know, hundreds of, billions of dollars across the country are laying down more pavement for promising to fix. and like all the evidence shows that won't. i think one of the things that's underappreciated, i think you really emphasize this in the book and i think really i be very important for everyone to be able to to to read and understand stories is the fact that these highways are, again, not only dealing demand and trying to deal with traffic issues cities, but they're shaping our cities. you know, they're not th

live from mission texas is the texas department of public safety christopher olivarez, great to see youfor being here. so far kalama harris has been unable or unwilling to actually take any responsibility for the wide-open border how would you assess the situation today. >> i agree we know for a fact and we talked about this over the years how the current federal government has reversed every executive order on day one that calls the situation that we are in you showed the families and talked about the families and the grief that they're dealing with every single day because the hands of illegal immigrants in the country with criminal background that should not be in the country and those that are losing because affected all poisoning across the country this in fact is a deliberate action by the federal government and they could've secure the border from day one and right now because of politics they want to sound like they're tough on the border but we know that they're not. the american people need to understand there is a difference from the very beginning and right now we are not se

is from texas women.em, but they are my friends. i get to know them. i get to see them on the campaign trail. i see the tears in their eyes when they explain to me what they've been forced to go through by their state. so we're going to talk about and make sure we hold ted cruz accountable and have a senator who will lay the law of the land after this election. >> you broached the subject of immigration. what do you think needs to be done? what is your policy on the border in texas? >> well, we have to have an adult conversation about it. that begins, yes, with border security. and ted cruz said earlier this year we don't need a border bill and he took down $20 million in additional funding that have helped us hire more border patrol agents, immigration judges, technology, fentanyl. that's important. but we also have to fix our broken legal immigration system, which is contributing to some of what we see at the southern border. and every employer i've talked to in texas wants us to address this. and in th

to every texas woman at home and every texas family, understand that when he says he is pro-life, hellred. the democratic candidate for senate in texas. thank you very much for joining us tonight. that is very powerful stuff from that debate. i just want to re-emphasize the very first part of it that we showed. which was you making the point that you can't be for the mob on january 6th and for the officers. and ted cruz laughs at that. and the way you grabbed him on that, saying it's not funny. because it is a threat to democracy. clearly, that part about it's not funny and grabbing at that smile of his was obviously something that happened in the moment. >> yeah, it was. thanks for having me, lawrence. listen, there was nothing funny about it and i think he was uncomfortable because i think he knew that i was calling him out on his singular responsibility for being the architect of the attempt to overthrow an american presidential election. and that he knew that in many ways, this election was his accountability. he knows that. this is what we have to do in texas. have a lot of thin

>> a red state like texas, no. but in a state like georgia where they have similar abortion laws, yes, or in south carolina where you could have an event to spill into charlotte or north carolina media markets and you could affect other voters there, yes. when you go to another place, it means another place is mutually exclusively, and so spending time in texas is mystifying, but going to madison square garden is equally mystifying for donald trump. >> and he had three rallying events there as well. and so, julia, there is a poll that shows harris is leading trump 2-1 among the early voters where people have the early access. and so in the poll, she has decided to go to texas where they see ground zero for the abortion fight, and tell us everything that you need to know about what the campaign thinks the strongest closing argument is. >> yes, they are right, and you heard ted cruz not commit to federal voting ban. the abortion is on the ballot in the following way. if donald trump wins, the lesson of republicans is

texas is trump territory, but that's almost the point. >> well, it is good to be in texas. >> reporterarris will argue that the near-total abortion bans here and in 12 other states are endangering pregnant women. >> real harm has occurred in our country. a real suffering has occurred. people have died. >> reporter: with 11 days to go, abortion is a cornerstone of harris' closing argument. >> for 54 years, they were trying to get roe v. wade terminated, and i did it. >> reporter: she has released two new ads about it just in the past three days. >> he is bragging about the rights that he stole from american women. >> reporter: it's a message the harris campaign hopes will resonate with some women who once favored her opponent. in 2020, for instance, 63% of white women without a college degree voted for the former president. but they are nearly as likely as white women with college degrees to say abortion is a major factor in their vote. >> i don't think that anybody should be able to control somebody else's body. >> reporter: tonight, harris will appear on stage with more than a dozen w

we are all texas women and we are all texas families. with two healthy babies in dallas in the last five years and i can't imagine if one of our appointments the doctors say there is the problem with the babies or my wife that there is nothing i can do because ted cruz thinks he knows better. that is not who we are. i am a fourth generation texan and we believe in freedom. this is not it. so here is what we are going to do. here is what we are going to do, texas. and 10 days we will beat ted cruz. >> joining us from the campaign trail in texas is colin allred, the democratic nominee running for united states senate in texas against senator cruz and thank you for joining us. as i was watching you friday night i thought i haven't seen you give a lot of campaign speeches and we are not allowed to cover them and that is a good as i have seen for any senate candidate this year and what you think it meant, first of all, for those 30,000 texans were there who presumably will be part of your support team on election day and vice president harris

texas doctors did nothing. for 40 hours the 28-year-old mother prayed for doctors to help her get home to her daughter and all the while her uterus was exposed to bacteria. she died of an infection. donald trump did that. senator ted cruz did that. the republican justices of the supreme court did that. the men controlling the texas government did that. >>> moments ago, vice president harris said this.>> ours is a fight for the future and it is a fight for freedom. freedom. like the fundamental freedom of a woman to make decisions about her own body. and not have her government tell her what to do. and we all remember how we got here. when trump was president he hand selected three members of the supreme court with the intention -- with the intention they would undo the protections of roe v. wade and they did and now in america, one in three women lives in a state with a trump abortion ban. many with no exceptions even for and incest , which is immoral. and trump is not done. he would be an abortion nationwide.

it's very close in texas.at's going on in texas but i went to a erred urge you tax since its early voting boat, boat, boat. i'm not used to this, neither am i my whole family voted early. everybody needs to get out there. ted cruz, how are you and tells was going on in texas. lexmark is going to see it's always great to be with you in the middle of an epic battle i am doing a 53 stop bus tour every part of the state we are crisscrossing the state. i have got to tell you, i am getting pounded everywhere i go. chuck schumer and the democrats are spending millions unloading on us. this race is going to end up where they're going to spend over $100 million from chuck schumer and george soros up or if you are in texas and turn on the tv, every second or third ad is an attack ad. every day or two we get another story. schumer put another 3 million, schumer put another 5 million in. we've got money flowing into this up or just a couple days ago we had a pole timeout that show this as a one-point race. listen, the rad

. >>> consider it the ultimate game of texas hold 'em. kamala harris and donald trump throw their cards down in the lone star state. one shows abortion. the other, immigration. so what will win out? >>> plus, the art of bro whispering. trump sitting down with podcaster joe rogen and his massive roster of followers and a potential audience that rival some battleground states. could they swing toward trump on election day? >>> behind the scenes look at one critical county waging a year's long battle against conspiracy theories and how they are protecting the vote and the people counting them. >>> we start with kamala harris betting by spending some of her precious remaining time at a star-studded rally in houston, texas, she can reach voters in battleground states hundreds of miles away. her aides telling "the new york times" her goal is to transcend traditional politics and by appearing with music icons beyonce and willie nelson, generate viral content that could shake up this race. so far, nothing else has. a "the new york times" final po
