Republicans as another congressman calls it quits. And how the man who bankrupted his casinos is gambling with the World Economy like never before. We think its going to be a tremendous success. When all in starts right now. Good evening from new york. Im chris hayes. Two American Cities are reeling in the aftermath of two horrifying massacres. One of those clearly motivated by political violence, purposed by someone who wrote a manifesto echoing the president s language on immigration, who murdered 22 people in an el paso walmart. The other by a shooter whose own personal politics appear to be on the left, but whose motives for the act seem utterly inexplicable yet, but who was able to kill nine people in 30 seconds outside a popular bar in dayton, ohio with this uniquely american piece of civilian armament. We have a president who many of the people in these two Communities Just do not want to hear from. And can you blame them . For some reason, donald trump will visit both cities tomorrow. And lets remember, six months ago President Trump was in el paso, one of the safest cities in the country, a city that celebrates and loves and is proud of its immigrant community that is profoundly to its very core binational, where residents flow freely across the Mexican Border to the sister city of juarez. And while he was there, President Trump used the opportunity to demagogue about the border and lie about life in that city. Claiming the wall was the only thing keeping the city safe, demonizing the very people who live in that binational community. He was head with protesters and he left, having used the city as a stunty backdrop to pursue his brand of demagoguery, his campaign was supposed to pay the police and the Fire Department for their hard work securing the rally in that city, and instead the president left behind a still unpaid 470,000 bill, which was increased to nearly 570,000 thanks to late fees. What possibly could this man say to the people of el paso, to the families of the dead and the injured and the people that love them . Eight of the dead are mexican nationals. Some of the victims are of mixed immigration status. What is he going to say to them . How do you feel about the president coming in the next few days even in the midst of this mourning period in el paso . Until the president takes ownership and peels that target off our back and rehumanizes communities like mine, its not appropriate i think. We have a lot of work to do in this country, and we do need to do it together, but there needs to be ownership first of the power of words. And the most powerful words come from the most powerful man in the country. And President Trump doesnt seem much more welcome in dayton, which he referred to as toledo yesterday. In dayton, the shooters motives are more obscure. There are reports that he heard voices, that he had misogynist obsessions, that he scared people in his circle with thoughts of what he might do. He described his own politics as leftist, though yet there are no indications this was in any way an explicitly political act. In this case, its not like anyones putting the blame right at trumps feet, but the shooter did use a weapon with this magazine to kill nine people and kill 27 more in half a minute. And the president and his party have been covering for the people who manufacture these weapons. Im disappointed with his remarks. I mean, i think they fell really short. He mentioned gun issues one time. I think watching the president over the past few years on the issues of guns, hes been i dont know if he knows what he believe, frankly. Youre going to tell him how unhelpful hes been . Look, if im telling you, im going to tell him. He probably will hear it from you all than he hears it from me, but yeah. What are you going to tell him . How unhelpful he has been on this. Yesterday his comments werent very helpful to the issue around guns. Yesterday president obama issued a statement condemning leaders who use language that normalizes racist sentiments. He didnt name names. He didnt have to. Today trump retweeted a trump tv host did george bush ever condemn president obama after sandy hook . Because president obama and President Trump and the people at trump tv all know that trump is the guy who demonizes those who dont look like us, suggests that other people, including immigrants threaten our way of life, refers to other people as subhuman, implies that america belongs to just one certain type of people. Everyone knows who is being talked about there. There is this vortex, this sucking moral vacuum at the top of the country there has been since the moment donald trump took the oath of office. Its unavoidable particularly in the wake of Something Like this. Joining me now democratic congresswoman Veronica Escobar who represents el paso. Congresswoman, i want to ask first how people are doing there. Are there folks still in the hospital . Do people have the resources they need to process what happened, to heal medically, financially . How are things . Hi, chris. Thank you so much for asking. Ive spent the day with el paso families in the hospital here at this beautiful memorial, and folks are doing better. I visited with a gentleman in the icu who is doing a lot better. His caregivers have told us that hes strong. Hes on the mend. Thats great. I talked to another young woman, jessica, who i visited on sunday who it was very painful for her to walk. Her legs were shot. And as you know, with these kinds of weapons of war, the bullets dont just go through your flesh and your bones, it shatters them. Thats the whole point of a weapon of war. So both her legs were shot through. I was with her when she took her first steps on sunday, and she was in a lot of emotional and physical pain. Today i went by and visited her again. She had this beautiful smile on her face. Shes been walking a little bit more. She is full of hope. Her husband is doing better. Hes also in the hospital. She got to see her kids. This community is full of hope and resilience and beauty. But the other thing that i heard, chris, totally unsolicited from victims still in the hospital as they grabbed my arm and tell me, tell him not to come here. Thats intense. Youve communicated that message. You said you feel like he painted a target on el pasos back. Ive heard from a lot of folks and read a lot of stories about folks, folks all across the country, folks who are immigrants of different ethnic backgrounds feeling like a target is painted on their back. What why dont you want him to come . I just talked to another gentleman, ralph, a veteran, a vietnam veteran who stopped me and said i am being made to feel like im not american. And he feels that under this president. So as i said to the via twitter and i said before, words are powerful, and words have consequences. And the words hes used to dehumanize us, to dehumanize communities like mine, to dehumanize immigrants, that i have a consequence, and they provide fuel for people who already are bigoted. And when you have a president who is racist and who whips people up into a frenzy at rallies, and when people yell well shoot them and he doesnt stop to think oh my god, what am i doing . Theres such a moral crisis. And, you know, we got a call from the white house earlier inviting us to be part of the motorcade as the president arrived and to greet him. And my response back was i need a phone call today because i would like to have a conversation with the president about everything ive been saying on national tv. I want to say it to him directly. And i want to see if he would have a dialogue where he accepts responsibility for his words, where he understands the power that theyve had, the pain theyve created and says im sorry and takes them back. Those words are still hanging above us. There are kids who are still afraid this is going to happen again. He has the power to take them back. The response we got was that he was too busy for a phone call. So we declined the motorcade. You wrote a letter today. Youre a part of several members of congress wrote a letter to Speaker Pelosi asking that she bring everyone back to the u. S. Capital to take some action legislatively to confront the threat of white supremacy. Why did you sign that letter . What do you want the see happen . So my colleague tom medicled letter. Mitch mcconnell already has good common sense bipartisan Gun Legislation sitting at his doorstep. Mitch mcconnell. We need to make sure that he is held accountable. We need to make sure that we demand answers from him as to why this tragedy hasnt been enough. When will enough be enough . All ready to go back to washington, d. C. At any point in time, even me. I dont want the leave my grieving community. But if senator mcconnell is ready to get to work, we will all be ready to get back to work, and well keep sending him great legislation. But he is the linchpin here, chris. Make no mistake about it. And people need to hold him accountable. Congresswoman, i just want to say ive had the great pleasure to be in el paso twice in just the last eight months or so, and its just a truly special place. Its really one of a kind. It is. And everybody is really sending you their love and their strength in that community. Its a really special place that you represent. Thank you. Thank you. It really is. Thank you, chris. All right, congresswoman Veronica Escobar, thanks a lot. Joining me now is democratic senator Sherrod Brown of ohio. Senator, i want to start with the same question to you. How are the people of dayton in your state doing . Do they have what they need in terms of Financial Resources and Mental Health resources and medical resources to heal from and process what happened . Not clear yet. Its clear, though, that the community is just rallied around everybody. And the police were heroes. Six Police Officers stopped this killer from killing many, many, many more people because they responded so quickly with such great courage. Ive talked connie and i were in dayton on sunday for most of the afternoon, and talked to people who the first we didnt talk to First Responders. They were not there. They are talking to other people now. But the First Responders, people that have watched this have talked about how its really like triage and war where First Responders have to make such quick decisions. Who can you save and who cant you save. Even with all of the family members and Close Friends and partners of the people who had been shot standing nearby, begging them for help. So all of that kind of trauma. And i talked to mayor whaley again just a couple of hours ago, mayor of dayton. And people have really rallied around the whole community, the Dayton Community foundation is people are giving money to them. Thats important to help these families that have survived and the families who have lost people and those who are injured to get some kind of help. But i dont know that there are state or federal resources there the way there should be. I have not been at all thrilled with the way State Government and the federal government have responded to this from the president to the state legislature. When you say that, what do you mean . Well, i mean first of all, that the president the first things the state legislature in ohio has been absolutely terrible on gun violence issues. There is the governor is now proposing some things that who know whats the state legislature will do. We know what Mitch Mcconnell hasnt done. We know what the racist, divisive rhetoric from this president. People in dayton dont feel like they have allies in the white house for sure. To people are looking for leadership. Theyre absolutely getting it from nan whaley, the mayor. Theyll see if theyre getting it from other places they need to get it from. Let me just ask you, then. I just talked to Veronica Escobar who represents el paso. She talked about the exchange she had with the president , a phone call to what this has meant with her community that was clearly a political act. It was motived by a kind of rhetoric the president has trafficked in himself. Its a different situation in your state in terms of what we know what happened. But i will ask you, you are going to meet with the president tomorrow . Why are you going to meet with him and what are you going to talk about . I listened to congresswoman escobar who is compelling and seven short months in the congress, she has already become a National Leader on this issue and other things. And i appreciate her passion in fighting for people in el paso. Its a bit different situation in ohio, but i talked to the mayor. I talked to the mayor earlier this evening. She wants me to come and be with her, and i want to talk to the president. I want to say to the president you talk about Mental Health. If you care about Mental Health, dont cut medicaid. Dont repeal the Affordable Care act. And im going to say to the president first how important it is that he call in senator mcconnell, as i did on sunday, he call in senator mcconnell to bring the senate back into session, that the president tell mcconnell to pass the background check bill and the president promise to the American People and to mcconnell that he will sign that bill. And im going to ask the president that. I will, if given a chance talk to him about the assault weapons ban. This was a this killer in 30 seconds discharged more than 40 bumpertobumpers. He had probably another 100 he could have discharged. Without the Rearview Mirror of the police, so many would have died because of this weapon. Police officers all over the country will tell you civilians shouldnt have weapons like this. These are weapons made for war. You dont hunt with them. You dont protect your home with them. You kill people in large numbers in a short period of time. And they dont belong in the hands of any civilian. Is there any part of you having worked with Mitch Mcconnell, who has batted away this idea that thinks he is subject to pressure on this . I think every he is subject to pressure if enough republican senators tell him that. He is trying to protect his majority. He is trying to protect this president. He fronts for this president all the time. He may be uncomfortable doing it, but thats really irrelevant. He continues to do it. He thinks trump, if trump wins he can keep his majority in the senate. I think he thinks if trump loses, he loses his majority. Its always about power to Mitch Mcconnell. Its always about tax cuts to the republican majority. Its about deregulation on environmental and worker rights. And its about right wing extremist young judges. Thats what they do all day. Thats what they work towards. Thats what trump gives them. Thats what mcconnell is trying to protect. So it will have to be pressure from his own members of the senate. All right. Senator Sherrod Brown, again, everyone is sending all their love and their strength to the folks in dayton. Thanks a lot. Thank you, chris.

Today we got an even sharper sense of how much the Trump Campaign has cultivated the dehumanizing language of invasion to describe immigrants. Its the very same language the suspected mass shooter in el paso used in his manifesto before committing murder. New york times reporting that, quote, since january, trumps Reelection Campaign has post in order than 2,000 ads on facebook that include the word invasion, part of a barrage of advertising focused on immigration. This is what those ads look like. But as is always the case with trump, his message exists in seamless continuity with the message of trump tv, which has been banging this drum into the heads of its audience for years. Your state has been completely overrun by this illegal invasion. Yes. I think calling it anything but an invasion at this point is not being honest with people. Look, this invasion of our sovereignty is weve got to stop it. This isnt just a migrant caravan. This is an invasion. And every american watching whats going on should be infuriated. It is a fullscale invasion by a hostile force. Thousands upon thousands of migrants literally marching to the u. S. In what would be a mass invasion. People need to realize that we need Border Security because people coming across our border illegally, its an invasion. We are being invaded. We are being invaded by a bunch of people that has the potential here to totally destroy the makeup of our culture and the makeup of our society. Its not immigration. Its not refugees. Its an invasion. What about our country . Were being invaded. Well, the hosts of trumps favorite morning show even doubled down on that rhetoric this very morning. What the president has during his two and a half years is a major problem at the border. If you use the term an invasion, thats not antihispanic. Its a fact. Joining me now Alicia Mendez menendez, host of amanpour and company and angelo corazon, and to start with you, im not going to start this manifesto, because screw that. Yeah. But it is just what we just played. There is essentially no distance in the basic thesis here. And that, as you guys have shown has been a staple of fox programing for years now. Yeah. I mean, there is a Straight Line from these chants and some of these other Message Boards right through to donald trump and his campaigns messaging and communications. And that line goes right through fox news. And as a thought experiment, just to underscore your point, if you took that screed, that manifesto and you put it in a fox host teleprompter like Tucker Carlson or ingrid or hannity and they would read this on air, the audience would not be shocked or described or disturbed. That tells you all that you need to know. If it was soso inconsistent with what they were hearing every single night, there would be a different reaction. But the audience would be perfectly fine because thats what theyre used to. Im simply defending him michigan country by cultural and ethnic replacement brought on by invasion. I want to play a clip of Tucker Carlson talking about that and alic alicia, get your response. Take a listen. Democrats know if they keep up the flood of illegals into the unto can, they can eventually turn into it a flood of voters for them. Their political success does not depend on good policies but on demographic replacement. And theyll do anything to make sure it happens. This is a point thats hammered home night after night. And its been a subtext of the immigration debate for years. Its now just very much in the mainstream. Lets break down what invasion means. And invasion denotes a threat. It denotes a danger. It denotes a need to protect yourself. The irony as you know, chris, most of these immigrants are coming here to escape violence in their home country. Theyre coming to the United States for safety. In many case, seeking asylum in this country. So its absolutely absurd to connote that this is in some way an invasion. And it has real consequences. Thats part of what we saw in el paso, right . We know that that gunman drove to el paso with the express intent of fighting an invasion. He allegedly cased the place looking for mexicans to kill. So there is a very clear line here from one to the other. There is something in sort of White Nationalist circles called replacement theory, that the great replacement, that is something that the pittsburgh synagogue murderer pointed to, basically the caravan was a jewish conspiracy to replace people. What is that idea, angelo, and how much has that been thematically enforced by trump tv . So the great replacement theory in a nutshell is that jewish people are replacing white americans with foreigners, in this case immigrants from south of the border. And they use all kinds of code on fox news. Sometimes they straightup say replacement, the great replacement. Tucker has used that language before. Other times they focus it on an individual like george soros. There are periods of time, especially last october prior to midterms where the caravan was a big theme. There were all these warnings about how george soros was financing it all. At the end of the day, what theyre really getting to is that this this force is out there sort of engineering this replacement, and, you know, weve had if you just use the most narrow search, we found more than 125 instances and discussions around just using the word invasion alone. If you expand that out to include great replacement theory and other sort of similar examples of that, its in the hundreds on fox news. So put a point on that, the urgency then gets created. You have all these people organizing on the chants, and then fox is validating that theory that you have to do something right now because youre at great risk, at threat, and nobody else is doing anything about it. It makes you feel like youre the hero. Alicia, you were just nodding your head. I mean, the perversity of this is the words lead you to believe the threat is coming from outside, right . Yes. The threat is at our southern border. And part of what that does is it distracts from the reality of danger of white wing extremism inside our own country. 2018, more People Killed by right wing extremists than any year since 1995 when Timothy Mcveigh wreaked havoc on the city of oklahoma city. That is where attention should be. Thats where the real danger is. And that is just a big distraction. Final point, angelo, on the right, theyre looking at the twitter feed of the alleged shooter in dayton who called himself a leftist, who tweeted supporting things about Bernie Sanders and elizabeth warren. What is the distinction to you between what we see in el paso and what weve seen there . So when ideology is a motivating distinction, there is a lot you can do in terms of addressing the structure. So in el paso, a big part of this was the conversation, the misinformation that was consuming the radicalization that that individual experienced, and its a very different paradigm, because it can be amplified and intensified. And Brian Kilmeade underscored that. In one of the clips, that clip said that it is invasion, that was from this morning. Yes. Theyve planted a marker here. So, one, that is an indication that that problem is only going to get worse unless you address the root cause. In this case, the radicalization. And dayton, its an entirely different thing. There is one connective tissue, misogyny. Thats an important part about this. Not all the neat things fit within the partisan ideology. Theyre very different but one is part of a deeper, struck chrl pattern as alicia pointed out before. Alicia menendez and angelo carusone, thank you for being we mix, thank you.

The latest escalation in the president s trade war and it did not go over well in china. The chinese retaliated by cutting off u. S. Farm imports, and just yesterday, the Trump Administration struck back labeling china as a currency manipulator, which is an extremely provocative move. And while we wait to see who is going to blink first, china has made it very clear they do not intend to back down. The editorinchief of the global times which is part of chinas state controlled media tweeted today in english whether or not there will be negotiations, china will not yield to washingtons hegemony. Were prepared for newist tariffs. Yesterday you might have noticed the stock markets absolutely tanked, the worst day in 2019, though they did rebound a bit today. Now all kinds of people are starting to rush to pull the train brake and ring the alarm about the dangers this poses to the u. S. And Global Economy, including American Farmers who have been on the front lines of this trade war. One north dakota soy bean farmer said this is just another nail in the coffin. All this news led Larry Summers to tweet we may well be at the most dangerous financial moment since the 2009 financial crisis with current developments between the u. S. And china. Here with me now to dissect josh barrel who has been writing about the u. S. And china trade war and donald trump. Im always sort of trying to figure out how freaked out, how not freaked out. Yeah, you and everybody else. Exactly. Yeah, i mean, to the extent this remains a matter of modest movements and currencies, its not the sort of thing that we should expect to cause a recession. It is the sort of thing we should expect to have an effect on nick growth. For the last two years, the trade war has been background noise. Trump was doing this, but the tariffs werent on that many things. And most of the u. S. Economy is services or goods produced domestically, and not all the imports come from china. It wasnt hitting that much of the economy and you add it up and that might take a tenth of a point off gdp growth which it matters, but youre not going to notice it in the sea of all the other things that affect the economy. But as the swath of things that are subject to the tariffs gets bigger and the tariff rates get higher, you start pushing towards something that fullon trade war, you might think half a point, a point off gdp growth that still should leave you with positive economic growth, but much less than you have. The problem is what sort of knockon effectious can have when the wars go in unpredictable directions. The market really freaked out when the chinese currency started moving very early on monday. And the funny thing about this is the president says theyre a currency manipulator. What china did is they stopped manipulating. Exactly. China, we had this conversation in 2012 when mitt romney was named them a currency manipulator. At that time the chinese had really been pushing their currency down in order to support exports. It was true. It was unfair competition. That story is seven years old. They havent been doing that anymore. They change their strategy and they have been pushing the currency up, except they stopped briefly. I think it was sort of a threat. Right. See what will happen if we stop doing this . But then they came back today and they set new guidance. So everyone is oh, it broke through 7. There is more than to a dollar. The chinese have their own domestic reasons why they might not want to devalue the currency, but it shows we can do this thing and it will wreak havoc on the u. S. Stock market and who knows what it will mean. Its not just china, it has big effects on south korea, japan. You could have a big mess in the Global Trading situation that would have negative economic effects there and here. What im hearing from you is the actual economic effects at each level are manageable. Right. Its the game theory problem. Right. Of these two players who are going back and forth, the same way like a skirmish at a border . In actual physical war. You dont know when someone is going to do things that blow things up and other people get pulled into it, and then youre looking at real genuine disaster there have been terrorlet cascading disasters before. Thats the thing that has happened. But the thing that pushes back on that on the flip side is almost all of these things are really bad for both the u. S. And china. But so are physical wars. Often, almost always. But most of the time we avoid going to physical war. Most of the time the two countries have a strong incentive to avoid a war. It doesnt work perfectly, but it works most of the time. Similarly here, the one thing that is holding this together is an allout trade war can be really bad for both the u. S. And china. China is probably in a worse position than us to manage it economically. The flip side its not a democracy, so they have more flexibility to put the public through pain. Not total flexibility. They still care about public opinion. I think the president s theory is im going to push harder and harder and harder wall street. Seen news reporting that he basically made this decision alone to do these additional tariffs on 300 billion in goods. Its his theory that if he pushes hard enough, theyll have to cave, but im not sure thats true. We should note he is writing 15 billion of checks to farmers to back stop. Ive been meaning to for a few days. The top 1 of the payouts are 183,000 and the bottom 80 are less than 5,000. The distribution of those checks is really wild. And if youre thinking to yourself the family farmer is getting this check, its a large agricultural concern most likely. Josh barro, thank you so much. Thank you.

Out of the awfulness the past few days came a moment of weird hogrelated levity on the internet. If youve been anywhere near social media, you might have noticed the top trending topic everywhere seemed to be feral hogs. Bizarre turn of events which began with a tweet from a guy named willie in arkansas who added his two cents to the roiling debate over banning assault weapons. Quote, legit question for rural americans. How do i kill the 30 to 50 feral hogs that run in my yard within three to five minutes while my small kids play . This one question seemed to derail the entire debate which was not necessarily the bad thing. Instead of everyone angrily fighting about guns, everyone was confused and obsessed with the 30 to 50 feral hogs. The memes began. Here is President Trump yelling at the kid mowing the lawn, have you seen my hogs . 30 to 50 of them. And there was this Jurassic Park inspired one, easy, easy. This is a throwback about how my kids bring the feral hogs to the yard. There is always an oprah version, of course. These here are pharrell hogs. Apparently they wont stop singing happy. It wasnt long before someone developed a feral hogs video game too where you too can defend your small children from the 30 to 50 feral hogs. You can be forgiven for assuming the whole feral hogs thing was a big joke. Clearly the whole thing was in jest, and you would be dead wrong, because people across this country really are dealing with huge packs of hogs in their yards, and theyre trying all sorts of ways to deal with them. And thats thing 2 in 60 seconds. S. We really pride ourselves on making it easy for you tech at safelite autoglass, to get your windshield fixed.

So the reaction to the tweet in the middle of the gown debate about what to do about feral hogs might have been hilarious, but the question is not a joke. Its happened several times with no warning, it being 30 to 50 feral hogs running into his yard within three to five minutes while his small kids play. And willie is not alone. There are over six million feral hogs scattered across at least 35 states according to the department of agriculture, and the population is rapidly expanding, at the cost of 1. 5 billion a year in damage. The hogs have been known to tear up crop fields searching for food. And while attacks on humans are rare, official says the hogs sharp tusks and speediness can cause injury. So people have come up with some Creative Solutions to deal with the problem. In texas, lawmakers actually passed a porkchoper law, seriously, allowing hunters to pay to shoot feral hogs from helicopters. That turned out to be expensive and not at all that effective because the hogs are pretty smart. They quickly learned to hide from the loud noise of the choppers. People have tried hunting from air balloons, silent. But issue likes steering and visibility made that pretty impractical. Texas tried using pesticides but abandoned that plan after 200 birds were found dead. If youre wondering how in the world we got to this point we can thank, among other factors, yes, Climate Change. A huge contributor to the situation because increased temperatures mean more of the animals are surviving through the milder winters and then continuing to multiply year after year. So we now all add battling giant packs of hogs for control of the planet to our nightmare visions of a Climate Change future. Wild hogs are one of the smartest animals on the planet. Thats why its so important we dont educate these hogs when we remove them. Feral hogs carry a number of diseases, including tuberculosis, trichinosis, e. Coli and a couple other diseases.

Things just keep getting worse for Texas Republicans. Three House Republicans from texas announced their retirement last week. The most distressing for the gop being will hurd who only eked out his win in 2018 by under 1,000 votes and is only one of three gop congressmen who represent a district that Hillary Clinton won in 2016. Hurd had been touted as the future of his party. Former cia officer, the lone africanamerican republican serving in the house. Represents 800 miles of border. Now hes leaving. And then yesterday, congressman Kenny Marchant who represents a suburban dallas district announced his plans to retire. His retirement is from exactly the kind of district where republicans fear they are losing their edge the most, metro area suburbs. Mitt romney, get this, he won that district by a whopping 22 points in the 2012 president ial election. Not real competitive. Four years later, donald trump won the district by just six points and then last year that district went for the democrat in the senate race, beto orourke, by 3 1 2 points. When he ran against ted cruz. This is the doomsday scenario for Texas Republicans and they are continuing to freak out about it. As sean trendy of real clear politics writes. People grossly oversold gop vulnerability pretrump are and grossly underselling now. For more, im joined by evan smith and brianna brown, Deputy Director of the Texas Organizing project. A grassroots Racial Justice organization. Evan, let me start with you because weve had this conversation before. Yep. You were someone who for a long time you know texas politics about as well as anyone. When there were liberals saying, oh, look at the demographics its going to go blow saying whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Where are you now as you watch whats happening with these retirements, particularly in these suburban districts . Im still not buying it. I think if youve seen one congressional district, youve seen one congressional district. I think it would be a mistake look, ill accept the fact that the optics are terrible for Texas Republicans right now. By the way, we think there may be as many as two additional retirements coming any day now, republicanheld seats. The optics are terrible. But every one of these districts is different. Not every single one of these retirements has produced a winnable seat for democrats. I still dont think democrats are necessarily in a position to win the state. I think the senate race is going to be complicated. So i think its hard to look at this and think, aha, finally the moment is here. Right. I will kay, conaway is not a competitive seat. Of the four that have retired, three look fairly competitive. Conaway is not in a competitive district. I think thats fair to say. Brianna, the Texas Organizing project is one of the most interesting groups in the country to me because you guys have put in a lot of work in texas, specifically metro areas, urban suburban areas. Whats the work youve been doing and what have the results been . At the top we like to say we fight with two fists, right . We fight with people power and political power, and the essence of what we do is really in the linked fates of black and brown folks across this state. We fundamentally believe that organizing is destiny, right . Its the destiny of the state and not just in demographics, right . Yeah. So, weve seen success across the state in mobilizing voters around a big, bold issue agenda, first and foremost and our organizing the organizing that we do is centrally about how are we motivating our voters to the polls . You know, its not a foreign idea. There are a lot of groups out there, different special Interest Groups that are able to mobilize their voters. And for black and brown folks that are on the margins, that dont have access to health care, that are living in neighborhoods where the schools are subpar and underfunded, having a reason to vote, people need a reason to vote. Our votes need to be courted. And fundamentally what were about is making sure that we have were expanding the electorate and we have politicians that are responsive to the needs of what is increasingly the majority of texans, which are black and brown folks. Evan, so theres a few different dynamics. There is a sort of urban suburban dynamic, the racial demographic dynamics. Texas is a state, someone just did an analysis, mississippi with a lot of undervoting among communities, right . Yeah. It doesnt have a high Participation Rate compared to some other states. In the suburbs, lets stop talking about, okay, the states going to go blue and its doomsday for republicans. Right. Im fascinated by whats happening into these suburbs, what is happening there that these folks are retiring, that weve seen a few of those seats flipped . When, you know, romneys winning a district by 22 points that beto wins by three. Well, the fact is the last election cycle, 2018, the real story of that cycle was the degree to which the suburbs which had not been open to voting for democrats became much more open to democrats if not bear hugging democrats. Pete olsons area. Hes one of the retirements, obviously. One of the retirements. Williamson county, north of austin. Colin county, denton county, up around dallas. These are communities that really did put the scare into republicans, in some cases they defeated republican state lawmakers. Its in these very places that the members of congress are wondering if they should return themselves to the private sector. That suburban trend is about two things. Its about demographics but its also about the affordability of the big cities, and i believe big city voters being pushed out to the suburbs taking their big city values and their big city votes with them. You just said something interesting, brianna, about sort of giving people something to vote for because texas does have for a variety of reasons the obstacles put in front of folks for being able to vote. It does have lower Participation Rates than a lot of other states. Whats your sort of theory of the case about that . Well, last year we reached out to 900,000 unique voters across the states, delivered 465,000 voters during the midterm, 115,000 of those voters had never voted in a midterm before. Wow. I mean, those are big numbers. You know, texas is a big city. You can go to scale really quickly. And i think it fundamentally goes back to, you know, this idea of how do you expand the electorate, right . How do you give people something to vote for . When there have been everything from structural barriers that prevent people from fully participating in our democracy to, you know, to other kind of, like, barriers in the everyday, right . Right. We dont have an we, you know, getting just getting to the polls. In 2016 we took a2,500 people to the polls in our drive for Democracy Program because that is an additional barrier that people have. So i think that its important to think about the conversation about, like, how to expand our democracy by by speaking directly to the voters. Right. In this case voters who are often left out of the conversation. Evan sming ath and brianna b. Good evening, chris. Thanks my friend. Thanks to you at home for joining us this hour.
