watkins said is voters matter. there's a cook political report shows that low income reporters have a big advantage for democrats. they're likely to get low income voters. that's from 2006 forward they've got a big plus but in 2010 when they lost big they only had 11 plus, right, as opposed to when they had 22, 28 when they had won big. so voters matter, but these voters tend to go to democrats so am i really to believe that republicans are going to look at that and say, oh, we need to get poor folks out to vote, you know, or are they going to try to keep those folks away? when they keep them away democrats lose. >> it's interesting because you hear the terms poverty but then you hear fairness, right? that's what you hear coming from the president and democrats and this whole question of should the rich pay more, right? that was the fight of a few years ago. do we tax the rich more to give more to everyone else? that's not the argument now. now it's about strengthening the middle class. giving everyone a chance to

"in the nation's history, there is simply no precedent for an american president that has so wantonly ignored federal law." now, if that were true, that's a really, you know, incendiary, interesting position. but i saw the author, ted cruz, and i'm, like, ah. that's sort of what happened from, you know, going crazy in your first couple of years in the senate where people, you know, he's almost kind of labeled as maybe not as serious or not -- just, you know, you expect that hyperbole from him. >> he's a very smart guy. >> i know that. >> and he's certainly built up his name. he's probably got about 98% name i.d., but not the kind he wantw. >> i'm going to get mail from people that normally like me. i'm going to try and redeem myself with don in this case. don, i will tell you this. you know, it's the fifth year,
