texas is the second largest state in the region in terms of wrr and population but the governor of texas has no executive authority. that reflects the post-reconstruction constitution 1876 which took power from the governor. the governor of texas is essentially a symbolic figure, a little like the queen of england. most political science scholars in state government consider the texas governship the weakest in the united states. the governor can't even issue pardons. in that position, bush thrived. he was overwhelming reelected in 1998 and he also built a very effective political machine there led by karl rove and kerry hughes and was exploring the possibilities of running for president in 2000. bush announced his canidacy and defeated john mccain in the primaries and was nominated at the republican convention. al gore was the nominee and selected to win the election. he chose liberman, the most conservative democrat in the body. gore did poorly in the three debates. the choice of his vice president and the snubbing of clinton gave third party candidate ralph nadir on the left and the el

texas is back, folks! >> referee: the previous play is und under further review. >> todd: tillery comes unblocked, swoopes sidesteps him, and reaches the ball across the plane before the knee touches. incredible individual effort by tyrone swoopes. first to elude an unblocked man, and then to get the ball across the goal line. >> referee: after the review, the ruling on the field confirmed. touchdown, game over. >> joe: let that be a lesson to every young man looking for playing time. that's a senior, buying in, still contributing with a freshman taking his job. >> todd: when you talk about team chemistry, changes, everybody buying in, it has to start with the older guys. and swoopes is to be commended with the way he's handled this situation this year, and how he played tonight. >> joe: with three rushing touchdowns. on a night where they went back and forth, with thrills and chills, a lot of drama. and a fabulous finish. holly? >> holly: tyrone, on a night that you could have been disappointed because yo

babin of texas. the chair: pursuant to house resolution 892, the gentleman from texas and member opposed each will control five minutes. mr. babin: one of the great honors i have here in congress is to represent four great ports, orange, beaumont, cedar bayou and the biggest in texas, the port of houston. when america's astronauts looked at their window down in houston, it is hard for them to make their home away from home, but what they can't miss is the scale and strategic importance of the port of houston which is down the road from johnson space center. the greatest houston area is the chemical manufacturing capital of the world and the port's ability to ship those goods is responsible for billions of dollars in economic activity and hundreds of thousands of good-paying jobs in our state and across the country. but like the city of houston itself, not all of the port's important channels fall under the purview of the corps of engineers are within the footprint of what was originally authorized by

truman needed texas to win the white house. he campaigned very well in texas and throughout the country. sam rayburn said he was one of the folks very good from the back platform, a crowd of 10,000 people showed up to greet truman at the train station at 6:50 in the morning, and the high point was a breakfast garner have for truman served on the back porch of garner's home and the crowd cheered. they could not care so much about truman's civil rights agenda, but a friend of john garner and that is all that mattered to them and he did indeed carry texas. truman came back to visit garner one more time in 1958 for a celebration of garner's 90th birthday. truman's airplane was delayed with mechanical problems in dallas so he did not get there until late in the evening passed garner's bed time of 8:00, so they agreed to talk the next morning after agreeing that they were a sight for sore eyes. i think that sums up nicely the garner-truman relationship and i will turn it over to my wiser and more learned colleagues.

i think the reason texas has hard to turn blue or purple is that if you lookt texas, texas is a state that's controlled by republicans by and large. so they control the infrastructure of the political apparatus in that state. so it is a very hard to -- when a party controls the infrastructure and has a machine because republicans like to point to the democratic machine. let's be very clear. republicans have a machine, too. >> particularly texas. they haven't had a statewide democrat since ann richards. the other thing about texas, and this is the "dallas morning news" editorial was fascinating. california and texas -- california used to be a republican stronghold and then a swing state. around the same time those two states diverged. a lot had to do with the politics of immigration. texas, much, much, much more tolerant and welcoming attitude toward immigrants among the republican party. and it is meant they've been a much more durable party. >> i think that's part of the effect. people overstate that. republicans do better with white voters in texas than with white voters in californ

that texas number, hillary clinton ahead in texas, leading by one point in texas, that is basically as big a shock as the mississippi as a swing state number. today the largest newspaper in texas, "the dallas morning news," they made some news on their editorial page. they're a famously conservative editorial bent. "the dallas morning news" has endorsed every republican nominee for president since 1968. tomorrow morning, they're going to announce who they're endorsing in this year's presidential election. but ahead of that announcement, today they issued an anti-endorsement, to make clear they are breaking with a half century of unbroken republican endorsements. this year, we haven't yet learn wh ed who they want us to vote for, but this year, they're saying they want their voters to not vote for donald trump. a remarkable editorial, especially given where it's coming from. quote, donald trump is no

the governor of texas cannot issue pardons. in accepting bush thrived. [laughter] as a symbolic leader of texas he was reelected in 1998 and also built a very effective political machine led by karl rove and was exploring the possibilities of running for president in 2,000. bush announced the candidacy in june of 1999 and defeated john mccain in the primaries. al gore was a democratic nominec nominee and was heavily favored to gore fumbled almost immediately when he chose to run with the most conservative democrat as his running mate. he's not bill clinton throughout the entire campaign and then poured into the television debates. the choice gave third party candidates he would pull about 3 million votes in the election came down to florida he carried ten states that put him over the top. he was superb. he had little knowledge of affairs and traveled abroad. the extensions believed he was god's agent put here on earth. with the exception of appointing colin powell as the secretary of state, donald rumsfeld secretary of defense and his friend don evans se

life both in texas and working for governor bush in texas and his time in washington. welcome. >> guest: thank you, it is good to be here. >> host: let's start with why the book, why now, what motivated you to write it. i know several of your colleagues who work within the bush administration have written books about their time there. what prompted the book? >> guest: it is something i've been working on for many years. obviously i've met several distractions in the interim. i thought coming up on the 15th anniversary would be a nice mark to try to hit. i was also motivated by the fact, you're right, there have been several memoir's written, people's perspectives have been out there. i perspectives have been out there. i thought it might be important to add my for my son's sake. quite honestly there is been a lot written and set about me. some of it true, some of it not true. i wanted him to get my perspective about the events that shaped me and really affected their lives as well. >> it was certainly an impact time both when you served in texas and when you served in

arthur lord, nbc news, rosenberg, texas. >> rosenberg, texas. and in fact on november 2nd that year on election day in texas gerald ford did pay some kind of penalty. on november 2nd that year, gerald ford lost texas. lost texas to yjimmy carter. he also lost ohio to jimmy carter. he did pull off a squeak aer in illinois even if nbc had trouble finding angry polish americans who were angry at ford forever for what he said in the debate. he did narrowly win illinois that year. but he lost overall. all those swing state races were close. eastern europeans, hungarians, poles, czechs, and all the rest, they were sub groups that a candidate couldn't afford to lose in that hard-fought election year. that flub in that debate, yeah, he'd probably be remembered for that anyway, that's a pretty bad one. but the way it affected him etech tore elector electorally, a lot of sleepless nights in the ford campaign and for good reason. hard to know how individual flubs, bad debate moments, how they shift a candidate's overall electoral prospects. it's easier to

let's go home now and see what texas has to say. >> reporter: the texas railroad commission regulates oil and gas. >> do you deny that there is a relationship between waste do you deny. [ laughter ] >> >> there is no question there is correlation. there are areas where there has been some disposal wells and, in which there have been earthquakes. there are also areas where there are not correlations. the scientist in me says that cannot be enough evidence. >> reporter: in response to the quakes, texas collects more information from drillers about seismic events and the legislature has also approved $4.5 million to a reputation for being very proactive. and, what you are saying about texas is we are studying this and then we are going to come up with a solution. is there a big difference between the two states? >> we are taking different approaches because we have not seen the major up tick like they have. the correlations are not as strong. the disposal processes are different. we have to take a more different, a more analytical approach. so yeah. we don't know the answer in agree with

and the ability for texas to tell the truth. it is about respecting our cultures and traditions and respecting us as human beings. >> veries stood on the steps of the texas capitol building, saying the textbook contains clear discrimination and violates federal law. >> in the state of texas sanctions to become, it would officially condone offensive characterization of mexican machines and other groups. >> online the #rejectthetext. that is trending. a texas congress machine had a scathing tweet, saying that the textbook remits credit another attempt by texas republican crony who has no background in the subject matter, to sell a book to old pals. and a reporter tweeted that the textbook on mexican american history contained racist stereotypes, i stand with those that reject the text. >> the book is for an elective class original available in a few texas school districts but was the only textbook submitted for consideration. in it is approved it would be up to the individual district to determine in it is used so ultimately the d

texas is a big state. we have very highly populated areas like the metroplex in dallas-fort worth, san antonio and austin, but we also have a big rural state as well. people who live outside of the major cities or the very demographic that obamacare was supposed to help, but they will be disproportionately hurt as fewer companies are able to offer insurance away from major population centers. company after company is packing up and leaving the exchanges in texas because obamacare simply won't work as structured. it can't deliver on its promises. and at the end of the day, hardworking texas families have to pay for the partisan policies of this administration and our democratic colleagues who jam this through congress rather than try to build some consensus on a bipartisan basis that would make this sustainable. i remember being at a -- at a program where james baker, iii, who obviously served in the reagan administration, joe califano, former secretary of health and human services, a democrat who served in

clinton won the election he set his sights on running for governor of texas. jeb decided to run for governor of florida.. bush was running against incumbent ann richards in texas. richards was heavily favored. in florida, jeb was favored to defeat the democratic incumbent, law ton chiles. but the elect was an upset. george won in texas, jeb lost in florida, and from that point on, george became the likely successor to his father. texas is really the largest -- second largest state in the union in terms of area and the second largest in terms of population, but the governor of texas has no executive authority. that reflects the post reconstruction constitution. 1876, which stripped power from the governor. the governor of texas is essentially a symbolic figure, a little like the queen of ligland. most political science school ares of state government consider the texas governorship the weak nest the united states. the governor of texas cannot even issue pardons. and in that setting bush thrived. [laughter] as the symbolic leader of texas he was overwhelmingly r

to be placed in texas communities. again, orr already consults with texas prior to the placement of any refugees are, the texas funky solar background information. they want to know much right detail than orr was willing to give. in this case, the district court judge dismisses saying that terrorists could have infiltrated this theory and refugees and could commit acts of terrorism in texas, largely speculative hearsay. texas had unfounded fear of terrorist attacks from these refugees. not to be one up, À la, brought their suit after texas dates of president obama violated the 1980 refugee act by failing to control properly states about refugee placement. the governor refused to accept any refugees until full background checks were provided for each individual coming to the states. this case after the texas case was dismissed, but in alabama they filed an appeal at the 11th circuit and that was just over a week ago. additionally, tennessee passed senate resolution 467 and this would allow the general assembly to sue t

i also worked for his grandson, george p bush, who ran for the texas land commissioner job in texas. that campaign was completely different than all the other campaigns i worked on, because george p bush's campaign was all about social media. here we are, vice president bush in houston, texas, the night he was elected president. actually, george p bush is the small boy to his left. it was kind of fun for me working with george p., photographing him campaigning, because i would have deja vu and say oh, i took that exec same photo of his grandfather 20 -- exact same photo of his grandfather 20 years ago. vice president bush came after ronald reagan, so this is president bush and barbara bush, who were just on the -- are just down the road saying goodbye to .ormer president reagan this is on the front steps of the capitol building, when the president is sworn in on one side of the capital as the former president leaves out on the other side. this is their inaugural parade. it was kind of fun for me years and years later, someone found a photo of me on the internet actually taking this p

the gentleman from texas. mr. hensarling: mr. chairman, i'm now very pleased to yield three minutes to the gentleman from texas, mr. williams. the chair: the gentleman from texas is recognized for three minutes. mr. williams: thank you, mr. speaker. mr. chairman. here are the facts. this summer, congress was made aware that $400 million worth of cash was secretly airlifted to iran. two days later, an additional $1.3 billion was sent to iran. this comes on top of the approximately $55 billion iran had access to after the iran nuclear deal was reached. but here's something that americans do not know. where is all the money going and why? is it going to help iran rebuild its bat baddeley aging infrastructure? -- its badly aging infrastructure? is it going to support expanding freedom for the average iranian, or helping living conditions? who believes any of that? in june this year, secretary kerry admitted some of the money would go to groups labeled as terrorist organizations. he then said the rest of it, well, we just don't know.

i grew up in texas, i grew up in a town called humble, texas and i grew grew up in a poor family. there were eight of us, the son of a construction worker who had a second grade education and my mom had a six grade education so we were pretty poor. we live in a small house in texas. you're right, the politics of the law were things that we didn't talk about or think about. my dream was to play centerfield for the san francisco giants. quite honestly when i graduated from high school, even though it is a good student, i didn't have much encouragement to go to college so i enlisted in the air force and got stationed in alaska where i met a couple of air force academy graduates who saw something in me and encourage me to get an appointment with the academy and i did and then i left the academy because my eyesight failed and i wanted to be a fighter pilot so i had to transfer to law school and then i went to work in houston at a big law firm for 13 years and then i met george w. bush and that changed my life. >> let's talk about that. you were in private practice in use in the book, y
