to texas, do you regret saying that you thought that ted cruz's father killed jfk and trump goes, no, i don't regret it because it worked out great and i'm the president now. >> this is what people continue to get wrong about donald trump. he is the guy behind the curtain with no curtain and no pants on. there is no sort of pretense of the office of the presidency being anything other than what jonathan just described. someone who will say whatever it takes, even if it includes lying. he also said in an interview with abc this week, i try to tell the truth, when i can. enemy of the people, i've got to say it. my crowds love it. he said last night about the deadliest shooting of jewish americans in this country's history, stop my momentum. stop my momentum. not only is it unpresidential. the dehumanization of the people that he's supposed to represent is unprecedented. >> it is unprecedented, and it isn't. the visceral, the volume of it and the directness of it in this president is unprecedented. but we have seen what this is is a version of the southern strategy on steroids, right? i

good folks in east texas and the people that responded on our behalf it was an outstanding effort. it was a tragedy. we lost 7 astronauts, 7 of my friends. we lost the space shuttle columbia and foretold the end of the space shuttle program by the way. one of the outcomes, the recommendation of the investigation board was that we should retire the space shuttle because it was an unsafe system, which i can agree with and i can disagree with. but we won't get into that a whole lot. but it did fore tell the end of the shuttle program. the action in itself, seven astronauts and the orbter, but really the end of the space shuttle program. we haven't been able to fly american astronauts on american rockets since the end of the shuttle program in 2011. so, let's get into it. real quick summary the accidents that we're all on the same page. back in january 16, 2003 a crew on board the shuttle, rick husband and his crew, about 8 is seconds into flight, 81 seconds, the orbter was attached to the side of the tank. cea piece of foam broke off the tank and hit the leading edge of the left wing of

. this is beto o'rourke speaking live in texas. >> el paso has produced some really great teams over the years. and i am very lucky that i got to be part of one that came out of this community. for the last 22 months has been traveling every single county of texas, being there to listen, too, and show up for every single one of us. i am as inspired, i'm as hopeful as i have ever been in my life. and tonight's loss does nothing to diminish the way that i feel about texas or this country. getting to be with and see all of you tonight reminds me why we set out to do this in the first place. we're not about being against anybody. not about being against another political party. we're not going to define ourselves by who or what we are against or afraid of or scared of. [ applause ] we are great people, ambitious, defined by our aspirations, the hard work we are willing to commit in order to achieve them. every single one of us, republicans, democrats, independents, from the biggest of cities, the smallest of towns, the people of texas want to do and will do the great work of this country

in texas. update our viewers on what's going on there. >> let's look at this texas senate race. ted cruz is ahead by 142,000, almost 143,000 votes. the question is if you're watching this race, whether you're from texas or because beto o'rourke has become for progressives a bit of a national sensation, ted cruz thought he was going to be the president of the united states, ran in 2016. if you're watching this race, you're saying, okay, is texas returning to its dna? i don't know. i don't know. advantage ted cruz. as these smaller rural areas come in, he's catching up. they're not a lot of votes but there are a lot of them. the math eventually kicks in. but 16% of the vote in harris county. this is more than 16% of the statewide population. beto o'rourke running it up at the moment by good numbers. no guarantee when the rest of it comes in. those numbers will stand. but if it stays close, that's a lot of votes. so you look at that. you come back out. you go up to dallas. a lot of votes still to come in in dallas county. you come down here, austin, travis county, democratic area, don'

campaigns could not be more clear. >> reporter: in texas, beto o'rourke trying to become the first democratic senator elected in texas in nearly 25 years. >> let's remember that before we're republicans or democrats, we're americans, texans. >> reporter: he is up against incumbent republican senator ted cruz. >> stopping all the positive progress we're making is that good for the people of texas? >> reporter: andy field, abc news, washington. >>> last night, beto o'rourke told "60 minutes" he doesn't want national democrats to campaign for him because texas voters should decide on their own terms. >> senator cruz who is backed by president trump claims o'rourke is too radical for texas and cruz is holding only a slight lead in the polls. he talked to our paula faris a short time ago. >> too close for comfort here? no, you're good? >> i think momentum is very much with us. we're seeing record turnout which is great news. we always knew the hard left was going to show up. they were ticked off. this election was all about ordinary texans showing up. >> paula will talk with beto o'rour

many miles away. the pentagon estimating 7000 troops across california, arizona and texas and the president none too please with outgoing speaker paul ryan and his assessment that it will take a long congressional process instead of an executive order to change the 14th amendment and end automatic citizenship for the kids of undocumented immigrants born here. the president firing back, paul ryan should focus on holding the majority rather than giving his opinions on birthright citizenship, something he knows nothing about. the new republican majority will work on this closing immigration loopholes and securing the border. some republicans not happy the president is battling with a man trying to help him save the gop majority but remember the context, the president believes ryan and other washington insiders let him down on funding for the wall so he's determined to bring the midterms the way he wants around border security while democrats are charging this shows the military is used for a political strategy. the defense secretary poured cold water on that. >> as far as the caravan

as we look at senate races and i want to pose this to you, patrick. nevada, texas, do cruz hang on? what do you this i? >> no predictions from me, please. >> oh, come on, patrick. >> i think this race is going to be close. i think the texas race is going to be particularly close. the amount of money that democrats have to spend to get out the vote effort which is the key to democrats here. one of the things we are seeing in our polling is democrats can do well if they can turn out these enthusiastic presidential voters, voters that don't come out to vote in the midterms. if they have the money to get them out, they're going to do well. texas and nevada and where we'll see they can do it. >> what aboimmigration and the can bolster the republicans. do you see that trend, too? >> if the republicans hold onto the house and they hold onto it in such a few seats if they manage to do it. of course we'll point to the good economy and immigration. president trump has stressed it so much on the stump and that more many republicans is the number one issue. it gets their blood moving. but, you

in there. >> there you go. steve kornacki have been taking an early look at texas and florida. >> keep on florida now. higher turnout than expected. estimate for the overall turnout has gone up since the start of the night. but still, we've got, you know, more than 7 million votes counted. you see the gap here, it's just gone up, as i'm speaking, about 37,000 vote lead for rick scott. where is there vote left here? less populated up here in the panhandle, but you can see there are a couple of counties up here we don't have any vote. this is big for rick scott, small in terms of population. down here, miami-dade, 75% of precincts. they don't run that early vote. the mail-in vote through the precincts. proportionally that's out of whack. i'll give you an example. in terms of vote out of broward, it adds up to 474,000 -- or about 485,000 votes. i think we're going to be just over 600,000 out of broward when all is said and done. there's still vote to come out of broward. it will not double though. keep that in mind. palm beach almost all in. you see how nelson is running there. t
