00:00:25US, THIS IS A SPECIAL EDITION OF "THE NATIONAL" AS AMERICA VOTES
00:00:29IN HISTORIC MIDTERM ELECTIONS AND SOME OF THE LAST POLLS IN
00:00:32THE UNITED STATES ARE CLOSING RIGHT NOW IN ALASKA.
00:00:35BUT AS STATE AFTER STATE FLIPPED BLUE TONIGHT, THE RESULTS IS
00:00:39ALREADY CRYSTAL CLEAR. THE DEMOCRATS HAVE TAKEN CONTROL OF THE HOUSE AND THE SENATE.
00:00:43AND THEY WILL HAVE COMPLETE
00:00:45CONTROL OF U.S. CONGRESS IN A CLEAR REPUDIATION OF PRESIDENT
00:00:49DONALD TRUMP. WITH JUST TWO YEARS LEFT IN HIS
00:00:52FINAL TERM, WHAT COMES NEXT FOR THE EMBATTLED PRESIDENT?
00:00:55LET'S GET INTO THAT AND HOW WE GOT HERE.
00:00:58BUT FIRST UP, AN INTRODUCTION TO
00:01:00THE TEAM, PAUL HUNTER IS HERE BESIDE ME AND HAS BEEN ALL NIGHT.
00:01:04AND ON THE OTHER SIDE IS THE PANEL, THE MOST RECENT FORMER
00:01:08AMBASSADOR OF CANADA TO THE UNITED STATES, KIRSTEN HILLMAN
00:01:11AND BESIDE HER, ASHLEY ÉTIENNE,
00:01:18AND MAURA GILLESPIE TO THE PRESS
00:01:23PERSON FOR JOHN BOEHNER.
00:01:26AND SO EXPLAIN TO US HOW WE GOT HERE? >> David: THE HOUSE WAS CALLED
00:01:30QUICK AND THE SENATE WHICH WAS
00:01:31THE BIG PRIZE FOR THE DEMOCRATS AND IT ALL STARTED IN NORTH CAROLINA.
00:01:35THIS WAS THE FIRST SEAT TO FLIP,
00:01:37THIS IS WHERE ROY COOPER, THE
00:01:40FORMER GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA WON THIS SEAT FOR
00:01:43THE DEMOCRATS WITH A NEARLY 20-POINT LEAD OVER MICHAEL
00:01:47WHATLEY, DONALD TRUMP'S PREFERRED CANDIDATE IN THAT SEAT. AND THE WINNING CONTINUED IN
00:01:51SOUTH CAROLINA, WHERE ANNIE ANDREWS WITH 95% OF THE VOTE
00:01:55COUNTED HAS 51% WITH A FIVE-POINT LEAD OVER DARLINE
00:01:59GRAHAM, THE SISTER OF THE LATE SENATOR LINDSEY GRAHAM.
00:02:02THAT WAS FLIPPED, NUMBER TWO. AND THEN WE MOVED TO OHIO.
00:02:06J.D. VANCE'S OLD SEAT IS UP FOR A SPECIAL ELECTION TONIGHT
00:02:09BECAUSE OF HIS DEPARTURE TO BE THE VICE-PRESIDENT.
00:02:11AND IT WENT TO THE DEMOCRATS, SHERROD BROWN IS RETURNING TO
00:02:14THE SENATE WITH 48.7% OF THE
00:02:16VOTE OVER JON HUSTED THERE FOR THE REPUBLICANS.
00:02:19AND HISTORY MADE IN TEXAS, EVERYTHING IS BIGGER THERE, INCLUDING THE DEMOCRAT LEAD,
00:02:23BECAUSE LOOK AT THAT, 58.5% OF
00:02:26VOTE FOR JAMES TALARICO OVER KEN PAXTON, THE FIRST TIME THAT THE
00:02:30DEMOCRATS HAVE WON A SENATE SEAT
00:02:32IN TEXAS SINCE 1988, BEFORE
00:02:35JAMES TALARICO WAS EVEN BORN.
00:02:38AND FROM THERE THE TRAIN CONTINUED IN KANSAS, WHICH HAS
00:02:42GONE DEMOCRAT FOR THE FIRST TIME
00:02:44SINCE 1932, AND ADAM HAMILTON
00:02:47WITH A SIX-POINT LEAD OVER ROGER MARSHALL FOR THE REPUBLICANS
00:02:50WITH 93% OF THE VOTE IN. AND FINALLY IOWA.
00:02:53ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE ECONOMIES THAT IS HIT BY THE FUEL PRICES
00:02:56AND FERTILIZER AND A LOT IS CAUSED BY TARIFFS AND THE WAR IN
00:03:00IRAN. JOSH TUREK WITH 50.7% OF THE
00:03:03VOTE WITH A PRETTY SOLID LEAD
00:03:08OVER ASHLEY HINSON. THEY'RE IN COMMAND OF THE SENATE
00:03:11AND THE HOUSE, BUT DONALD TRUMP
00:03:13IS STILL PRESIDENT FOR ANOTHER
00:03:16807 DAYS. SO LET'S NOT FORGET HOW MUCH
00:03:20TIME IS STILL LEFT IN THAT PRESIDENCY.
00:03:23THERE'S A LOT OF VOW TEE VETOS.
00:03:31>> Adrienne: AND TEXAS IS A BIG STATE AND A BIG STORY.
00:03:34SO KATIE SIMPSON IN AUSTIN, TEXAS.
00:03:37KATIE? >> Reporter: BIG STATE AND BIG
00:03:40STORY, BIG CELEBRATIONS HERE IN AUSTIN, JAMES TALARICO'S HOMETOWN.
00:03:43WE WERE ON THE AIR WHEN THEY PROJECTED THAT HE WOULD WIN THE
00:03:47SENATE AND WE SAW THE CROWD JUST ERUPT AND PEOPLE WERE JUMPING UP
00:03:51AND DOWN AND PUMPING THEIR FISTS IN THE AIR AND PEOPLE WERE
00:03:54CRYING AND SAYING FINALLY THEY'LL HAVE A GOOD NIGHT'S
00:03:57SLEEP AFTER THIS GRUELING CAMPAIGN AND AFTER WHAT THE DEMOCRATS DESCRIBE AS A VERY
00:04:01DIFFICULT TWO YEARS WITH DONALD TRUMP IN OFFICE.
00:04:03AND I'M JOINED NOW BY ERIN,
00:04:06SHE'S A DEMOCRAT FROM AUSTIN AND YOU'RE WEARING A SHIRT HERE THAT
00:04:09SAYS "VOTING FOR HIS FUTURE" AND YOU ARE PREGNANT.
00:04:12AND SO TELL US, TELL ME A BIT
00:04:16ABOUT THE FUTURE THOUGHTS AND HOW YOU'RE FEELING RIGHT NOW?
00:04:19>> THE FUTURE IS SO BRIGHT AND I HAVE WAITED MY WHOLE LIFE FOR
00:04:23THIS. I'M SO EXCITED, AND ESPECIALLY IN THE STATE OF TEXAS AND
00:04:27EDUCATION WILL MAKE HUGE CHANGES AND WE WILL HOPEFULLY HAVE HUGE
00:04:31CHANGES IN HEALTHCARE. BUT PERSONALLY WOMEN'S RIGHTS
00:04:34AND THE HUMAN RIGHTS, OUR ENVIRONMENT, AND SO MANY THINGS
00:04:37ARE GOING TO CHANGE AND I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER FOR THE WORLD
00:04:40THAT MY CHILDREN GET TO G
00:04:44>> Reporter: EARLIER YOU TOLD ME THAT YOU WERE DIRECTLY AFFECTED BY THE TARIFFS ON CANADA.
00:04:48TELL ME ABOUT THAT. >> MY MOM AND I ARE INTERIOR
00:04:51DESIGNERS AND ONE OF OUR VENDORS IN CANADA SELLS TABLE BASES FOR
00:04:55US AND THE TARIFF ON IT WAS SO HIGH -- I MEAN, IT WAS ALMOST
00:04:59THREE OR FOUR TIMES THE COST OF
00:05:02THE PRODUCT ALONE, AND THE WHOLE
00:05:06WHOLESALE COST. AND WE HAVE TO FIND ANOTHER
00:05:09VENDOR BECAUSE WE COULDN'T AFFORD TO GET THAT PRODUCT ANYMORE.
00:05:12>> Reporter: DID YOU HAVE TO CUT
00:05:13YOUR TIES WITH THE CANADIAN
00:05:17COMPANY? >> WE COULDN'T USE THEM BECAUSE WE COULDN'T MAKE IT WORK.
00:05:21>> Reporter: DO YOU WANT TO SEE CHANGE WHEN IT COMES TO TARIFF?
00:05:24>> YES, TARIFFS ARE RIDICULOUS AND ALL WE DO IS -- WHEN WE ARE
00:05:27CHARGED THE TARIFFS WE PASS THAT ALONG TO THE CUSTOMER AND THEN
00:05:31THEY'RE PAYING IT.
00:05:32SO EVERYONE IS PAYING
00:05:36ASTRONOMICAL PRICE FOR THINGS AND SO IT'S NOT WORKING FOR ANYONE, EXCEPT FOR PEOPLE WHO
00:05:40MAKE A LOT OF MONEY AND BENEFIT FROM THAT. IT'S NOT US.
00:05:43>> Reporter: SO ALL OF THE PROJECTIONS TONIGHT ARE THAT THE DEMOCRATS HAVE TAKEN CONTROL OF
00:05:46THE HOUSE AND TAKEN CONTROL OF THE SENATE. WHAT DO YOU THINK WHAT THAT SAYS
00:05:50ABOUT THIS MOMENT IN AMERICAN POLITICS? >> IT'S SHOWING WHO WE ARE AS
00:05:54AMERICANS AND WHAT WE CARE ABOUT AND THAT WE'RE NOT M.A.G.A. AND
00:05:57WE'RE NOT TRUMP'S AMERICA AND WE
00:06:00ABOUT ARE THE PEOPLE AND THE RELATIONSHIPS WITH PEOPLE AND
00:06:03OUR RIGHTS AND THE HEALTHCARE IS A BIG ONE.
00:06:06AND PEOPLE ARE UPSET AND THEY'RE SHOWING THAT IT'S TIME FOR
00:06:08CHANGE AND WE HAVE WAITED FOR THIS.
00:06:12>> Reporter: ERIN, THANK FOR YOUR TIME. AND THE PARTY IS WINDING DOWN
00:06:16AND WHEN WE LEAVE HERE AND WE HEAD OUT INTO THE STREETS OF
00:06:19AUSTIN AND WE MIGHT SEE CELEBRATIONS OR MIGHT NOT.
00:06:22AS WE HEARD FROM OTHERS, PEOPLE ARE TIRED AND PEOPLE ARE EXHAUSTED.
00:06:25THEY WANT TO HAVE A SLEEP. ADRIENNE? >> Adrienne: YOU NEVER GET
00:06:28TIRED, KATIE SIMPSON, IF THERE'S SOMETHING TO FIND, YOU WILL FIND IT.
00:06:31THAT IS KATIE SIMPSON IN AUSTIN, TEXAS.
00:06:34LET'S HEAD OVER TO DETROIT,
00:06:38MICHIGAN, AND MOTOR CITY. AND DAVID COMMON IS RIGHT THERE.
00:06:40DAVID, WHAT DO YOU GOT?
00:06:44>> Reporter: PARTY VERY MUCH CONTINUING HERE, ADRIENNE.
00:06:47AND IN FACT, CUPID SHUFFLE WAS
00:06:52PLAYING, THAT 2007 DANCE TUNE,
00:06:55AND THEY WERE PERFORMING IT FROM THE LEFT TO THE RIGHT AND ONE
00:06:59GUY GYRATING NOT AN INSIGNIFICANT AMOUNT.
00:07:02BUT I DIGRESS. THIS IS A BIG NIGHT FOR THE
00:07:05DEMOCRATS IN THIS ROOM AND THEY ARE ECSTATIC WHAT THEY HAVE SEEN
00:07:08AROUND THE COUNTRY. AND PEOPLE WITH MINDS BLOWN OVER
00:07:12WHAT TRANSPIRED IN TEXAS AND IN NEIGHBOURING OHIO.
00:07:14AND THE GOVERNOR'S SEAT AND THE SENATE SEAT FLIPPING FROM THE
00:07:18REPUBLICANS. AND THOSE ARE BIG MOMENTS THAT
00:07:22RESULTED IN FIST PUMPING AND CHEERS HERE AND, OF COURSE, ALL
00:07:25EYES IN THIS ROOM REALLY FOCUSED
00:07:28ON THE MICHIGAN SENATE RACE.
00:07:31ABDUL El-SAYED AND VERSUS MIKE
00:07:33ROGERS AND PERHAPS THE MOST FASCINATING RACE AND ONE OF THE
00:07:37MOST CLOSELY CONTESTED IN THE ENTIRE NATION.
00:07:40WHY DOES MICHIGAN TAKE SO LONG TO MAKE A CALL ON THIS?
00:07:44NUMBER ONE, IT'S VERY CLOSE. NUMBER TWO, THE STATES COUNT,
00:07:47AND THEY COUNT THEIR BALLOTS AND MICHIGAN COUNTS SLOW.
00:07:51AND WHERE DO THEY COUNT THE SLOWEST? WAYNE COUNTY, WHERE I AM AND
00:07:55IT'S ALSO THE MOST POPULIST DISTRICT IN THE ENTIRE STATE.
00:07:58AND THEY TAKE TIME. AND THAT'S WHY IT TAKES TIME TO
00:08:01GET A RESULT ON SUCH A BIG RACE. BUT WHAT HAS BEEN THE BIG
00:08:05QUESTION ON THAT? YOU KNOW, IT HAS BEEN TARIFFS,
00:08:08WHETHER IT'S AUTO TARIFFS OR OTHER TARIFFS THAT HAVE TO DO
00:08:11WITH THE GAS PRICES THAT PEOPLE ARE SEEING ACROSS THE COUNTRY,
00:08:14AND THE PRICE OF BUYING A NEW CAR.
00:08:16AND THAT HAS MADE THEIR INTEREST
00:08:19IN SOME WAYS ALIGNED WITH CANADA'S INTEREST.
00:08:22AND CANADA BUFFETED BY TRUMP'S
00:08:24TARIFFS AND MANY MICHIGANANDERS
00:08:28SAID THAT IT MADE THEIR LIFE
00:08:31WELLESS AFFORDABLE. AND SO THE CHEERING CONTINUES
00:08:33AND THEY CHALK UP ANOTHER
00:08:37DEMOCRATIC WIN. IT'S ONE MORE HAPPENING AS WE SPEAK.
00:08:40WAVES AND WAVES AND WAVES. THAT BLUE WAVE THAT HAD BEEN
00:08:44PROJECTED THAT HAD BEEN TALKED ABOUT, AND THAT SOME DEMOCRATS
00:08:47WHO ARE AFRAID TO SAY IT OUT LOUD -- WELL, IT'S HAPPENED.
00:08:51IT'S HAPPENED TONIGHT. TOMORROW THERE'S A LOT OF WORK
00:08:54AND A LOT OF RESPONSIBILITY AND
00:08:56A QUESTION OF WHAT THEY DO NOW
00:08:59WITH THIS NEW POWER. >> Adrienne: ALL RIGHT, DAVID
00:09:02COMMON, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IN DETROIT, MICHIGAN.
00:09:05PAUL HUNTER, YOU INTRODUCED US TO A BRAND-NEW WORD TONIGHT
00:09:09BECAUSE YOU MADE IT UP --
00:09:13MONTICA. >> Paul: I'M GLAD THAT YOU ASKED. [LAUGHTER]
00:09:15AND THE OLDER I GET THE SMALLER
00:09:18THAT MY BRAIN GETS, RIGHT, SO I
00:09:20NEEDED TO REMEMBER THE STATES IN PLAY FOR DEMOCRATS AND I CAME UP
00:09:24WITH MONTIOTKA, AND MAINE AND
00:09:30OHIO AND NORTH CAROLINA AND
00:09:33TEXAS AND KANSAS AND ALASKA.
00:09:34AND I HAVE SOUTH CAROLINA AND
00:09:38MISSISSIPPI -- THESE DIDN'T HAVE A CHANCE I DIDN'T THINK.
00:09:40I DIDN'T REALLY BELIEVE THAT
00:09:43KANSAS -- I DIDN'T REALLY -- I WASN'T SURE THAT I WAS READY TO
00:09:46BELIEVE TEXAS, BUT HERE WE ARE. LIKE, THIS IS A LONG LIST.
00:09:50I'VE GOT MICHIGAN IN THE MIDDLE HERE.
00:09:53BUT, LIKE, ONCE AGAIN THINK ABOUT THE MOMENT THAT IS
00:09:56HAPPENING HERE TONIGHT FOR DEMOCRATS AND FOR THE REPUBLICANS IN FAIRNESS.
00:10:00IT CUTS BOTH WAYS.
00:10:03AND IT'S -- YOU KNOW, A GAIN
00:10:05HERE IS A LOSS THERE. AND IT'S A MONSTER.
00:10:08I MEAN, I THINK THAT PEOPLE
00:10:10EXPECTED A REBUKE OF SOME KIND
00:10:13AND, HENCE, THIS LIST.
00:10:16KANSAS -- YOU KNOW, IT'S SORT OF NUTS.
00:10:18AND I WAS WRITING DOWN, YOU
00:10:20KNOW, THE POLLS WERE RIGHT. VOTES MATTER.
00:10:24CHANGE HAPPENS. TRUMP ISN'T MAGICAL.
00:10:27RIGHT? I MEAN THAT IS A LESSON FROM TONIGHT.
00:10:30AND WHEN IS THE LAST TIME THAT TRUMP SAID THAT HE'LL ACCEPT THE
00:10:34RESULTS OF THE VOTE? WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME THAT WE
00:10:36HEARD THOSE WORDS COME OUT -- >> Adrienne: THEY DIDN'T LAST
00:10:39LONG, THERE WAS THE VETO THAT HAD --
00:10:43>> Paul: FAIR ENOUGH AND THERE'S LAKE ONTARIO FOR SALE. >> Adrienne: WE WANT TO
00:10:47INTERRUPT YOU AS WE HAVE BEEN TALKING SOME NUMBERS HAVE CHANGED ON THE SENATE SIDE IN
00:10:50PARTICULAR. ONE MORE FOR THE DEMOCRATS.
00:10:52WHAT IS HAPPENING?
00:10:55>> David: THIS IS MINNESOTA, AND
00:10:57IN 2026 IT STARTED WITH THE NEWS
00:10:59OF THE I.C.E. RAIDS IN MINNESOTA
00:11:03AND THE KILLING OF RENEE, AND ALEX.
00:11:07AND NOW THE DEMOCRATS HAVE HELD MINNESOTA.
00:11:10THIS IS TO SEEK THE
00:11:15GOVERNORSHIP. PEGGY FLANAGAN HAS WON THIS SEAT FOR THE DEMOCRATS.
00:11:19SHE IS AS THEY WOULD SAY THE LIEUTENANT-GOVERNOR, AND AS WE
00:11:22SAY HERE FOR THE STATE, SHE
00:11:25DEFEATED MICHELE LATOYA ON
00:11:28MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL AND SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALLS AND SHE'S NOT GOING TO BE WORKING FOR THE
00:11:32PEOPLE OF MINNESOTA IN THE SENATE AS PEGGY FLANAGAN HAS WON THIS.
00:11:36AND THIS INTERESTING BECAUSE WE
00:11:39SAW MICHELE LATOYA LEADING AND IT FLIPPED QUICKLY.
00:11:43SO THIS IS ANOTHER HOLD FOR THE
00:11:46DEMOCRATS AND JUST LOOK AT THAT,
00:11:4952 -- FETTERMAN PROOF IN THE HOUSE -- IN THE SENATE RIGHT NOW
00:11:52FOR THE DEMOCRATS, ADRIENNE. >> Adrienne: ALL RIGHT, DAVID,
00:11:55THANK YOU.
00:11:57ASHLEY, THIS IS -- THIS IS A LOT FOR THE DEMOCRATS TO TAKE IN.
00:12:00THERE'S A LOT TO BE INCREDIBLY
00:12:03PROUD OF.
00:12:06THE SLEEVES HAVE TO BE ROLLED UP THOUGH IMMEDIATELY.
00:12:10>> ABSOLUTELY, BUT THE FOLKS WHO WILL BE CONTEMPLATING AND SORT
00:12:13OF LACK SLOPE TONIGHT ARE GOING TO BE THOSE REPUBLICANS AND
00:12:15THOSE MEMBERS WHO TRY
00:12:18DESPERATELY TO GET DONALD TRUMP TO CHANGE COURSE, UP TO TWO DAYS
00:12:22AGO AND THEY WERE BEGGING HIM -- DON'T DO THIS -- RETREAT, RETREAT.
00:12:25AND HE DID NOT. WHAT I WAS STRUCK BY IS PAUL'S
00:12:29POINT AND YOU SAID AT THE TOP OF THE SHOW THAT USUALLY THE ANSWER IS THE OBVIOUS ONE.
00:12:33AND YOU JUST RATTLED IT ALL OFF AND THOSE WERE ALL OF THE
00:12:36OBVIOUS ANSWERS COMING INTO TONIGHT. IT'S BEEN AN INCREDIBLE,
00:12:40INCREDIBLE NIGHT. BUT I THINK THAT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAS BEEN RENEWED BY THIS
00:12:44MOMENT AND I THINK THAT WE'VE
00:12:45GOT A SENSE OF, UM, OF
00:12:48ACCOMPLISHMENT AND PRIDE IN OURSELVES AND THAT WE HAVE BEEN LACKING FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS.
00:12:52AND SO IT'S GOING TO BE
00:12:53INCREDIBLE TO SEE HOW THEY PULL
00:12:56TOGETHER AN AGENDA AND GOVERN GOING FORWARD AND IT'S GOING TO BE TOUGH AND IT'S GOING TO BE
00:13:00CHALLENGING AND THEY'LL HAVE TO RUN DEFENCE AND OFFENSE AT THE SAME TIME.
00:13:03WHICH IS AN INCREDIBLE TASK.
00:13:04I HAD TO DO THAT BEFORE WITH PELOSI.
00:13:08BUT I THINK THEY'VE GOT IT IN THEM. AND I THINK THAT THE CHALLENGE
00:13:10IS GOING TO BE -- I MEAN, NOT A CHALLENGE -- BUT THE ADVANTAGE
00:13:13THAT THEY'LL CONTINUE TO HAVE IS
00:13:15JUST A COMPLETELY -- UM, -- YOU
00:13:19KNOW, A WEAKENED REPUBLICAN PARTY. AND I CAN IMAGINE THAT THEY'RE
00:13:22GOING TO START TO DO A LOT OF
00:13:24IN-FIGHTING AND A LOT OF
00:13:27SELF-REFLECTING AND THAT IS GOING TO JAM UP THEIR SYSTEM.
00:13:30>> Adrienne: AND GIVE THEM TIME TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THEIR IDENTITY IS BECAUSE THIS IS A
00:13:34BIG NIGHT FOR THEM. >> SO GOOD. SO GOOD.
00:13:37YOU'RE LIKE IN MY HEAD. [LAUGHTER]
00:13:40YOU'RE PULLING OUT OF ME. BUT THAT'S THE CHALLENGE.
00:13:43MAURA AND I WERE TALKING ABOUT THIS, THE REPUBLICAN PARTY OVER
00:13:46THE COURSE OF MY LIFE HAS GONE THROUGH THREE TRANSFORMATIONS.
00:13:50TEA PARTY, FREEDOM CAUCUS,
00:13:53M.A.G.A., AND EACH ONE THEY HAVE GOTTEN STRATEGICALLY BETTER AND
00:13:57THEY WON MORE RACES AND EXPANDED THE MARGINS.
00:14:00AND THE PROBLEM WITH THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS THAT WE HAVE NOT HAD TRANSFORMATION SINCE
00:14:04BILL CLINTON -- I MEAN BIG TRANSFORMATIONS AS A PARTY.
00:14:07THIS MOMENT AND THIS ECONOMY, AND THIS WORLD DEMANDS THAT WE
00:14:10GO THROUGH THOSE TRANSFORMATIONS. SO I THINK THE CONCERN IS THAT
00:14:14WE MIGHT BE, UM -- THE WINS
00:14:17TONIGHT NIGHT CLOUD OUR JUDGMENT
00:14:23AND RATHER THAN SAYING HOW SHOULD WE REFLECT IN THIS MOMENT
00:14:27AND MAKE SURE THAT IT'S A SUSTAINED VICTORY. >> Adrienne: WE CALL THAT
00:14:31GETTING AHEAD OF YOUR SKIS. [LAUGHTER]
00:14:32I WANT TO ASK YOU, MAURA, IF I MAY, YES, YOU ARE A REPUBLICAN
00:14:37BUT YOU HAVE BEEN TALKING TONIGHT WITH A SENIOR ADVISOR TO
00:14:40THE TALARICO CAMPAIGN?
00:14:42>> SO CHUCK ROCHA, HE'S A GOOD
00:14:45FRIEND OF OURS AND HE'S FEELING REALLY GOOD AND PROUD OF HIS
00:14:48TEAM TONIGHT AND I SHARE -- MY BROTHER IS A NEW TEXAS VOTER AND
00:14:51I SAID THAT IT'S THE FIRST TIME
00:14:54THAT HE'S HAD HOPE IN OUR DEMOCRACY. AND HE'S PROUD FOR HIMSELF AND
00:14:57THE TEAM. AND THAT'S THE FEELING FOR ANYONE WHO IS WINNING A CAMPAIGN.
00:15:01BUT I WOULD SAY WHEN I WAS WORKING FOR THE THEN SPEAKER OF
00:15:05THE HOUSE JOHN BOEHNER WHEN THE REPUBLICANS WON THE HOUSE AND I
00:15:08WAS ON THE GROUND AT THE PARTY AND WAITING FOR THOSE CALLS TO BE MADE.
00:15:12AND IT'S A VERY EXCITING MOMENT. I KNOW THAT WE SAW SOME OF THE
00:15:15AUSTIN PEOPLE BEING VERY JUBILANT AND EXCITED.
00:15:19BUT IT WAS REALLY THIS HOPE -- I THINK IS WHAT A LOT OF PEOPLE
00:15:23ARE FEELING RIGHT NOW IS A
00:15:25HOPEFULNESS THAT THERE CAN BE A COURSE DIRECTION.
00:15:28AND WHAT I HOPE FOR THE REPUBLICANS IS TO TAKE STOCK OF WHAT HAPPENED TONIGHT AND COURSE
00:15:32CORRECT. >> Adrienne: INDEED.
00:15:34I WENT AHEAD TO OTTAWA AND ROSEMARY BARTON IS STANDING BY
00:15:37WITH THE PERSPECTIVE ON WHAT THIS MEANS FOR CANADA.
00:15:41ROSIE? >> Rosemary: YEAH, A COUPLE OF THINGS.
00:15:43I MEAN, ALREADY POINTING TO --
00:15:47WE DON'T KNOW HOW THE PRESIDENT IS REALLY GOING TO REACT.
00:15:50LET'S JUST, YOU KNOW, GO BACK
00:15:51AND LOOK AT A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT HE'S SAID IN THE PAST
00:15:55COUPLE OF MINUTES. HE TOLD POLITICO ON A PHONE CALL
00:15:58BECAUSE HE LIKES TO TAKE THE PHONE CALLS FROM JOURNALISTS,
00:16:02THAT HE DOESN'T WANT TO SIT THERE FOR TWO YEARS VETOING EVERYTHING BUT AT THE SAME TIME,
00:16:05AS YOU GUYS POINTED OUT, THAT HE
00:16:08ALSO POSTED A RED BALLCAP THAT
00:16:11SAID "VETO." AND SO HARD TO GET A SENSE OF
00:16:15WHERE HIS HEAD IS AT RIGHT NOW. IS HE REALLY WILLING TO
00:16:19COOPERATE WITH THE DEMOCRATS? OR IS HE GOING TO MAKE THINGS
00:16:22VERY, VERY DIFFICULT? AND THE OTHER POINT THAT I
00:16:25WANTED TO RAISE AGAIN WAS WHAT THIS CHANGES FOR THE TIMING OF
00:16:28THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT IN TERMS OF MAKING A DEAL.
00:16:32JAMES MOORE, THE FORMER CONSERVATIVE CABINET MINISTER
00:16:35POSTED ON X, DON'T MAKE A DEAL WITH THE REPUDIATED AND THE
00:16:39DEPARTING PRESIDENT THAT NORMALIZES TARIFFS THAT
00:16:42AMERICANS AND CANADIANS DON'T WANT.
00:16:44SO WILL THERE NOW BE QUESTIONS
00:16:47ABOUT WHY YOU WOULD EVEN BOTHER
00:16:50STRIKING A DEAL WITH THE PRESIDENT THAT HAS ANY TARIFFS AT ALL?
00:16:53LIKE, WHAT WOULD BE THE ADVANTAGE IN THIS MOMENT?
00:16:57NOW THAT COULD BE THE CONSERVATIVE POSTURING AND
00:17:00POSITIONING FOR FUTURE CRITICISM OF THE PRIME MINISTER, COMPLETELY.
00:17:04BUT I THINK THAT IT DOES RAISE AN IMPORTANT POINT ABOUT THE
00:17:07TIMELINES NOW AROUND THIS, OR THE PRESSURE AROUND TRYING TO
00:17:10REACH A DEAL.
00:17:13OBVIOUSLY, IT'S GOING TO BE VERY DIFFICULT FOR THE PRESIDENT TO
00:17:16GO AHEAD AND TO PUT THIS 50%
00:17:19TARIFFS ON AUTOS IN JANUARY.
00:17:21IN THIS -- IN THIS WORLD, RIGHT, WHEN HE IS JUST ALL OF THESE
00:17:25THINGS THAT HAVE JUST BEEN CLEARLY REJECTED BY AMERICANS.
00:17:29AND THERE'S A LOT OF QUESTIONS. BUT I THINK IT DRAMATICALLY
00:17:33CHANGES THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT'S THINKING AND
00:17:36STRATEGY GOING FORWARD IN TERMS OF HOW THEY HAVE TO DEAL WITH
00:17:39THE PRESIDENT. >> Adrienne: ROSIE, THANK YOU.
00:17:43AND AMBASSADOR HILLMAN, DOES
00:17:45THAT LAND WHERE YOUR HEAD IS AT RIGHT NOW?
00:17:48>> YEAH, I THINK THAT THE GOVERNMENT HAS TO TAKE TIME.
00:17:52I THINK THIS IS NOT A MOMENT TO MOVE QUICKLY.
00:17:55I THINK THIS IS A TIME TO
00:17:58OBSERVE, ONE, WHAT THE NEW CONGRESS IS SAYING. WHAT THEY'RE DOING.
00:18:02ARE THEY TABLING LEGISLATION WITHIN A HUNDRED HOUR? WHAT DOES THAT SAY?
00:18:06WHAT IS THIS TARIFF LEGISLATION?
00:18:08LIKE, THERE WILL BE THE DEVIL IN
00:18:12THE DETAILS, BUT TO UNDERSTAND THAT, WILL BE THERE INVESTIGATIONS ON TARIFFS?
00:18:16THAT'S AN INTERESTING IDEA.
00:18:18AND SEE HOW THAT PERCOLATES FOR A WHILE.
00:18:21THAT BEING SAID, AS I SAID A MINUTE AGO OR EARLIER, IF
00:18:24THEY'RE HAVING CONSTRUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS THAT ARE HEADING
00:18:28TOWARDS SOME KIND OF ARRANGEMENT THAT WOULD WORK FOR CANADA, WE
00:18:31WOULDN'T WANT THEM TO STOP THAT.
00:18:34>> Adrienne: DON'T MESS WITH IT.
00:18:36>> I MEAN -- LOOK, IN DIPLOMACY
00:18:40AS IN NEGOTIATION, YOU NEVER STOP TALKING.
00:18:42IF YOU CAN BE TALKING YOU'RE
00:18:44DOING BETTER THAN NOT TALKING. SO IF THERE'S OPEN LINES OF
00:18:47COMMUNICATION THAT IS HELPING TO US GET CLOSER AND CLOSER THAT IS
00:18:51A GOOD THING. >> Adrienne: WE HAVE A BIT MORE
00:18:54NEWS FROM DAVID COCHRANE. THINGS ARE HAPPENING?
00:18:58>> David: I WANTED TO JUMP IN ON THE TARIFF CONVERSATION,
00:19:00ADRIENNE, BECAUSE THE SCHOOL OF THOUGHT HAS BEEN THAT THERE'S
00:19:03GOING TO BE SOME BASELINE OF TARIFFS, WHATEVER THE
00:19:07ARRANGEMENT IS, AND MAYBE THAT'S WHERE THINGS GO AT THE BARGAINING TABLE.
00:19:10HOW DO YOU SELL AS THE PRIME MINISTER OF CANADA A BASELINE
00:19:13TARIFF TO CANADIANS WITH
00:19:16AMERICANS HAVE REJECTED THE TARIFF AGENDA?
00:19:19HOW DO YOU LOOK CANADIANS IN THE EYE AND SAY, AMERICA DID THIS TO
00:19:23DONALD TRUMP TONIGHT, AND REJECTED -- THEY TOOK AWAY THE
00:19:26SENATE AND THEY TOOK AWAY CONGRESS AND THE HOUSES THAT CAN
00:19:29NOW SEIZE BACK CONTROL OF THE TRADE AGENDA, BECAUSE THE
00:19:32TARIFFS ARE CONSTITUTIONALLY THE AUTHORITY OF CONGRESS.
00:19:35AND THIS IS DONALD TRUMP'S TRADE DEAL FROM HIS FIRST PRESIDENCY
00:19:39THAT HAS BEEN A MANIFEST BREACH FROM DAY ONE.
00:19:42HOW DO YOU NOW LOOK AT CANADIANS
00:19:44AND SAY THIS IS A GOOD DEAL, EVEN THOUGH THERE'S TARIFFS AND
00:19:47IT WILL STAND THE TEST OF TIME,
00:19:49EVEN THOUGH NOTHING STANDS THE TEST OF TIME, WHEN AMERICANS
00:19:53DON'T THINK THAT IT'S THE RIGHT DIRECTION FOR THE COUNTRY?
00:19:55IT POLITICALLY BECOMES FAR MORE DIFFICULT TO SAY TO DOUG FORD
00:19:58WHO DECIDES WHETHER THE BOOZE GOES BACK ON THE SHELVES IN
00:20:02ONTARIO, YOU GOTTA TAKE THIS. WHEN AMERICANS HAVE DECIDED THEY
00:20:05>> Adrienne: IT.
00:20:09>> IT REMINDS ME WHERE WE
00:20:11STARTED WITH LEVERAGE, YOU GOT THE LEVERAGE TONIGHT.
00:20:14>> Adrienne: ALL RIGHT, LET'S HEAD OVER TO BANGOR, MAINE, AND
00:20:18MIKE CRAWLEY IS THERE AT SUSAN
00:20:21COLLINS' HEADQUARTERS, WHAT KIND
00:20:22OF NIGHT IS SHE HAVING, MIKE?
00:20:26>> Reporter: WELL, ADRIENNE, EARLIER IN THE NIGHT IT WAS
00:20:28LOOKING LIKE THIS RACE WAS SUPER EVEN, THERE WAS ONE POINT WHERE
00:20:32I LOOKED AT AND THERE WERE FEWER
00:20:35THAN 200 VOTES SEPARATING THEM AFTER SEVERAL HUNDRED THOUSAND
00:20:39HAD BEEN COUNTED. AND TROY JACKSON IS PUTTING A
00:20:41BIT OF DISTANCE AHEAD -- BETWEEN HIM AND SUSAN COLLINS AND HE'S
00:20:45NOW GOT A LEAD OF OVER 40,000
00:20:49VOTES WITH A LITTLE OVER 500,000
00:20:52VOTES COUNTED. SO THERE'S SOME SENSE HERE THAT
00:20:55SUSAN COLLINS HAS IN A WAY
00:20:59DEFIED THE BLUE WAVE THAT KIND
00:21:01OF SWEPT OVER SO MANY OTHER --
00:21:04SO MANY OTHER STATES AND JUST BY
00:21:09MAKING THE TRADES COMPETITIVE. AND THAT WAS IN SOME WAYS
00:21:12BECAUSE SHE PITCHED HERSELF AS A DIFFERENT KIND OF REPUBLICAN
00:21:16SENATOR. NOT PARTICULARLY TIED TO DONALD TRUMP.
00:21:19AND, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE SEEN THESE EXAMPLES OF THE TRUMP
00:21:23ENDORSED SENATE CANDIDATES LOSING IN TEXAS, AND LOSING IN
00:21:27OHIO, AND LOSING IN SOUTH
00:21:30CAROLINA. AND WE'RE GETTING REPORTS NOW
00:21:34THAT THE U.S. NETWORKS -- CNN,
00:21:38AND NBC AND MS NOW SAID THAT
00:21:42SUSAN COLLINS HAS CALLED TROY JACKSON TO CONCEDE.
00:21:46NOW I'VE GOTTA SAY THAT THE ASSOCIATED PRESS HAS NOT CALLED
00:21:49THIS RACE IN TERMS OF A PROJECTION, BUT THAT THOSE
00:21:53AMERICAN NETWORKS ARE SAYING THAT SUSAN COLLINS HAS CONCEDED.
00:21:56SO THAT WOULD SUGGEST THAT SHE
00:21:57HAS READ THE WRITING ON THE WALL
00:22:00AND WOULD BE IN A POSITION THAT
00:22:02SHE IS LOSING HER SENATE SEAT
00:22:05AFTER HOLDING IT FOR 30 YEARS. ADRIENNE?
00:22:08>> Adrienne: YEAH, THAT'S INTERESTING. SHE HAS BEEN SUCH A SURVIVOR.
00:22:12WE'LL SEE WHERE THIS NIGHT TAKES HER AS WE HAVE BEEN HAVING A
00:22:15CONVERSATION HERE AND SHE'S CERTAINLY NOT ONE OF DONALD
00:22:19TRUMP'S CHOSEN CANDIDATES AS IT WERE. AND WE'LL TAKE A QUICK BREAK AND
00:22:22WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH MORE OF
00:22:24"AMERICA VOTES."
00:24:40(♪)
00:24:46>> Adrienne: WELCOME BACK TO A SPECIAL EDITION OF "THE NATIONAL" "AMERICA VOTES."
00:24:50WHAT HAPPENED TONIGHT IS THAT THE DEMOCRATS HAVE TAKEN CONTROL
00:24:52OF THE SENATE AND THE HOUSE.
00:24:55DEMOCRATS CONTROL THE U.S. CONGRESS.
00:24:57LOTS OF REACTION TO THIS.
00:25:00IN PART FROM DONALD TRUMP WHO
00:25:02HAS BEEN SPEAKING WITH FOX NEWS,
00:25:04JUST AFTER MIDNIGHT HE TOLD THEM
00:25:06"I CAN WORK WITH DEMOCRATS ON MANY THINGS.
00:25:09THE PEOPLE WHO CAST THE VOTES ARE MUCH MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE
00:25:13CANDIDATES. YES, I WILL ACCEPT THESE RESULTS.
00:25:16CONGRATS TO THE DEMS, THEY DID A GOOD JOB AND THEY'VE BEEN
00:25:18LOOKING FOR THIS FOR 11 YEARS."
00:25:21AND HE ALSO POSTED A BIG RED HAT
00:25:25WITH THE WORD VETO ON IT. SO IT'S HARD TO PREDICT WHAT
00:25:29WILL HAPPEN TO THE LAME DUCK PRESIDENT AND HOW HE HANDLES THE
00:25:33NEXT TWO YEARS. WE HAVE SOME NUMBERS THAT WE NEED TO SORT OUT AND DAVID
00:25:37COCHRANE WILL EXPLAIN. >> David: WE KNOW THAT THE DEMOCRATS HAVE TAKEN CONTROL OF
00:25:40THE HOUSE AND THEY WILL TAKE CONTROL OF THE SENATE.
00:25:42HERE'S SOME SEATS AND SOME RACES THAT WE'RE WATCHING THAT ARE NOT
00:25:46READY TO BE CALLED. NOW WE HAVE HERE TROY JACKSON
00:25:49WITH A FIVE-POINT LEAD OVER
00:25:51SUSAN COLINS WITH 67% OF THE VOTES COUNTED IN MAINE AND WE
00:25:54KNOW THAT THERE'S BEEN REPORTS
00:25:57THAT THE SUSAN COLLINS DESK HAS
00:26:01CALLED TO CONCEDE AND WE'RE NOT THERE YET IN TERMS OF THE
00:26:04PUBLICLY AVAILABLE DATA AND THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.
00:26:06SO THIS COULD BUMP IT UP TO 53 FOR THE DEMOCRATS.
00:26:09IN MICHIGAN, A VERY TIGHT RACE AND HALF OF THE VOTES COUNTED
00:26:13AND ABDUL El-SAYED, 49.4% TO
00:26:1748.6% FOR MIKE ROGERS. A VERY CLOSELY WATCHED STATE
00:26:21WHERE MIKE ROGERS WAS A CHAMPION OF THE DONALD TRUMP'S TRADE WAR
00:26:24AND TARIFFS AND RECANTED LATE IN THE RACE AS THE POLLS TURNED
00:26:28AGAIN HIM.
00:26:29BUT ABDUL El-SAYED IS DEALING
00:26:32WITH INTERNAL CONTROVERSY WITH
00:26:34HALEY STEVENS AND HIS CANDIDATE
00:26:37IS ENDORSING MIKE ROGERS AT THE LAST MINUTE AND THIS IS NOT
00:26:40CLOSE AND SETTLED JUST YET. THIS IS ONE THAT I DON'T THINK
00:26:43THAT ANYONE WAS PREPARED FOR TO BE THIS CLOSE THIS LATE IN THE
00:26:46NIGHT AND THIS IS MISSISSIPPI.
00:26:48WHERE IT IS A 1.7% GAP WITH 93%
00:26:54OF THE VOTES COUNTED IN RAW
00:26:57NUMBERS, THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT
00:26:59ABOUT 16,000 VOTES BETWEEN CINDY
00:27:04HYDE-SMITH AND SCOTT COLOMBE AND
00:27:06WE'LL SEE WHERE THAT GOES.
00:27:08AND HERE'S NEBRASKA, PETE
00:27:11RICKETTS, WITH A 2.4% LEAD OVER
00:27:16DAN OSBORNE WITH 60% OF THE VOTE IN. AND THE DEMOCRAT IN NEBRASKA
00:27:20DROPPED OUT, BASICALLY, AND SAID THAT THEY WEREN'T GOING TO RUN
00:27:23BECAUSE OSBORNE HAS A BETTER CHANCE OF BEATING PETE RICKETTS
00:27:26AND IT'S NOT QUITE CALLED YET BUT WE HAVE THE DEMOCRATS
00:27:30LEADING IN TWO AND COMPETITIVE IN A THIRD AND THE REPUBLICANS
00:27:33IN A LITTLE BIT OF JEOPARDY TO
00:27:36AN INDEPENDENT IN A FOURTH. SO YOU COULD SEE THAT DEMOCRAT
00:27:39NUMBER GO UP AND A POTENTIAL FOR
00:27:41LOSSES FOR THE REPUBLICANS AND
00:27:44NOT TO THE DEMOCRATS' GAIN. >> Adrienne: THANK YOU. AND I WANT TO TAKE US RIGHT NOW
00:27:47TO TEXAS TO HAVE A LTEN TO POTENTIALLY THE MAN OF THE
00:27:51EVENING, JAMES TALARICO.
00:27:54(♪)
00:27:56[♪ MUSIC PLAYING ♪]
00:28:02[Cheers and Applause] >> THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
00:28:06THANK YOU, THANK YOU, CHRIS.
00:28:08THANK YOU, BLANCA, AND THANK YOU
00:28:11ALL FOR BEING HERE.
00:28:14[Cheers and Applause]
00:28:26WE JUST TOOK BACK TEXAS.
00:28:30[Cheers and Applause]
00:28:37WE -- WE JUST PROVED THAT ALL OF
00:28:39THE MONEY IN THE WORLD IS NO
00:28:41MATCH FOR THE PEOPLE OF TEXAS.
00:28:45[Cheers and Applause]
00:28:49WE JUST SHOWED THAT A POLITICS
00:28:52OF DIVISION IS NO MATCH FOR A
00:28:55POLITICS OF LOVE.
00:28:58[Cheers and Applause]
00:29:00AND WE JUST SENT A MESSAGE TO
00:29:05EVERY BILLIONAIRE M.A.G.A. DONOR
00:29:06AND EVERY TRILLIONAIRE M.A.G.A.
00:29:09DONOR. [Cheers and Applause]
00:29:12EVERY CORRUPT DEFENDER OF THIS BROKEN POLITICAL SYSTEM.
00:29:15IN THIS STATE, IN THIS COUNTRY,
00:29:19POWER BELONGS TO THE PEOPLE.
00:29:21[APPLAUSE]
00:29:28AND I'M REMINDED OF THAT STORY
00:29:32FROM SCRIPTURE OF A SHEPHERD BOY
00:29:35WHO GOES UP AGAINST A GIANT.
00:29:37FOR 40 DAYS, GOLIATH TEASES AND
00:29:41TAUNTS. ON THE DAY OF THE FIGHT HE SHOWS
00:29:43UP IN FULL ARMOUR AND HE'S
00:29:47CARRYING SO MANY WEAPONS HE
00:29:50NEEDS SOMEONE ELSE TO CARRY THAT SHIELD. IN THIS RACE WE WENT UP AGAINST
00:29:54OUR OWN GOLIATHS. [APPLAUSE]
00:29:58THE RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD, THE MOST POWERFUL MAN IN THE
00:30:01WORLD, AND THE ENTIRE
00:30:03WASHINGTON, D.C., ESTABLISHMENT.
00:30:08DAVID -- DAVID WASN'T AS BIG OR
00:30:10AS STRONG AS GOLIATH, HE DIDN'T HAVE AS MANY WEAPONS BUSINESS
00:30:13, BUT HE HADHOPE AND HE HAD FAID
00:30:18A SLINGSHOT.
00:30:21YOU WERE MY SLINGSHOT.
00:30:24[Cheers and Applause]
00:30:27THE PEOPLE OF TEXAS WERE MY SLINGSHOT.
00:30:29[APPLAUSE]
00:30:35AND TONIGHT -- AND TONIGHT WE
00:30:39DEFEATED GOLIATH.
00:30:42[Cheers and Applause]
00:30:45SCRIPTURE HAS TAUGHT ME -- MY
00:30:48OWN LIFE HAS TAUGHT ME -- ALWAYS
00:30:50BET ON THE UNDERDOG.
00:30:53BEFORE I WAS A POLITICIAN, I WAS A PUBLIC SCHOOLTEACHER.
00:30:57I TAUGHT LANGUAGE ARTS AT RHODES
00:31:00MIDDLE SCHOOL ON THE WEST SIDE OF SAN ANTONIO.
00:31:02AND AS I ALWAYS SAY, TEACHING MIDDLE SCHOOL IS THE BEST
00:31:06PREPARATION FOR POLITICS.
00:31:08AND THE WEST SIDE IS A BEAUTIFUL
00:31:12HISTORIC NEIGHBOURHOOD. IT'S ALSO ONE OF THE POOREST ZIP
00:31:15CODES IN THE ENTIRE STATE OF TEXAS.
00:31:18EVERY DAY MY STUDENTS STRUGGLED
00:31:21HEROICALLY TO OVERCOME A RIGGED SYSTEM.
00:31:24MY STUDENTS WEREN'T JUST KIDS,
00:31:26THEY WERE SURVIVORS. DREAMERS.
00:31:29FIGHTERS. I SAW IT IN THEIR EYES EVERY
00:31:32DAY.
00:31:33AND THIS UNSHAKABLE RESOLVE,
00:31:37THIS UNCONQUERED SPIRIT.
00:31:39GROWING UP, I SAW THAT SAME FIGHT IN MY MOTHER.
00:31:43A PREACHER'S DAUGHTER FROM
00:31:46LAREDO WHO LEFT HOME AT 19.
00:31:48[APPLAUSE]
00:31:52SHE -- SHE MOVED OUT TO AUSTIN
00:31:56AND MET MY BIRTH FATHER, A
00:31:5921-YEAR-OLD HIGH SCHOOL DROPOUT WHOSE DRINKING PROBLEM SOMETIMES
00:32:02LED TO VIOLENCE.
00:32:04ONE NIGHT HE BECAME ABUSIVE
00:32:07AGAIN, BUT THAT NHT -- THAT
00:32:10NIGHT MY MOTHER'S LOVE ROSE TO MEET THAT ABUSE.
00:32:14SHE PACKED ALL OF OUR STUFF INTO
00:32:17HER LITTLE FORD ESCORT AND SHE DROVE ME TO THE HOTEL WHERE SHE
00:32:21WORKED AND BEGGED THE MANAGER TO LET TO US STAY IN ONE OF THE
00:32:24ROOMS IN WILL UNTIL WE FOUND A E
00:32:30APARTMENT IN EAST AUSTIN. THERE WASN'T ROOM FOR A NURSERY.
00:32:33SO I SLEPT IN A CRIB IN HER CLOSET.
00:32:36AND SHE WAS SO PROUD OF THAT CLOSET.
00:32:39SHE DECORATED IT WITH PICTURES AND TOYS, AND FOE ONE WAS GOING
00:32:43TO TELL HER THAT IT WASN'T A NURSERY.
00:32:45[APPLAUSE]
00:32:49ALWAYS -- ALWAYS BET ON THE UNDERDOG.
00:32:52[APPLAUSE]
00:32:59WE WERE THE UNDERDOGS IN THIS RACE.
00:33:02WE WENT UP AGAINST NEARLY 40
00:33:04YEARS OF DOUBT AND
00:33:07DISILLUSIONMENT AND WE WENT UP
00:33:09AGAINST MORE THAN $300 MILLION,
00:33:12MORE THAN ANY SENATE CAMPAIGN IN AMERICAN HISTORY.
00:33:14WE WENT UP AGAINST ALL OF THE
00:33:16NEGATIVE ADS, SMEAR CAMPAIGNS
00:33:20AND FOREIGN BOTS AND A.I.
00:33:25DEEPFAKES THAT ANYONE CAN BUY. THEY WERE THE FINAL HOWLS OF A
00:33:29DYING ESTABLISHMENT.
00:33:32[Cheers and Applause]
00:33:38THE DEATH RATTLE OF A STATUS QUO
00:33:40THAT KNOWS ITS DAYS ARE NUMBERED.
00:33:44THEY -- THEY PLAYED DIRTY BECAUSE THEY WERE DESPERATE.
00:33:48BUT WE NEVER LOST HOPE.
00:33:51WE NEVER LOST FAITH.
00:33:53AND AGAINST BIG MONEY AND LONG
00:33:55ODDS WE TOOK OUR POWER BACK.
00:34:04ALWAYS -- ALWAYS BET ON THE
00:34:08UNDERDOG.
00:34:09WE BUILT A MOVEMENT UNLIKE ANY
00:34:12THIS STATE HAS EVER SEEN. WE UNITED TEXANS FROM ALL
00:34:16BACKGROUNDS AND BELIEFS ON TO
00:34:18ONE TEAM TO TAKE ON THIS BROKEN, CORRUPT POLITICAL SYSTEM.
00:34:22FIRST TIME VOTERS -- THREE TIME
00:34:25TRUMP VOTER IS -- WORKING PEOPLE
00:34:30FROM FROM EVERY CORNER WHO WERE
00:34:31FED UP AND READY FOR CHANGE.
00:34:34THIS WIN ON THIS WIN IS FOR
00:34:37EVERY UNDERDOG WHO HAS BEEN COUNTED OUT AND LEFT BEHIND.
00:34:41THIS WIN IS FOR EVERY TEACHER
00:34:43AND EVERY NURSE, FOR EVERY
00:34:45FARMER, AND EVERY RANCHER, FOR
00:34:48EVERY YOUNG PERSON WHO IS TRYING TO BUY A HOME.
00:34:52FOR EVERY PARENT WHOSE TRYING TO
00:34:54PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE.
00:34:59THIS WIN -- THIS WIN IS FOR
00:35:03EVERY TEXAN WHO HAS EVER WONDERED IF ANYONE IS LISTENING.
00:35:07I HEARD YOU. WE HEARD YOU.
00:35:10AND TONIGHT THE WORLD HEARS YOU.
00:35:15[Cheers and Applause] >> Adrienne: THAT WAS A VICTORY
00:35:18SPEECH, SURE FELT LIKE A STUMP SPEECH OF THE YOUNG SENATOR FROM
00:35:22TEXAS, JAMES TALARICO. YOU ARE LOOKING THERE AT THE
00:35:25NEXT GENERATION OF DEMOCRATS,
00:35:28SURROUNDED BY VERY YOUNG SUPPORTERS. AND WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ALL
00:35:31NIGHT ABOUT GENERATIONAL CHANGE. THIS IS A MAN WHO SPOKE ABOUT
00:35:34THE POLITICS OF DIVISION ARE NO MATCH FOR THE POLITICS OF LOVE.
00:35:38AND HE SAID THAT WE JUST PROVED ALL OF THE MONEY IN THE WORLD
00:35:42ISN'T ENOUGH TO BUY TEXAS. WE JUST SENT A MESSAGE TO EVERY
00:35:46BILLIONAIRE AND M.A.G.A. DONOR
00:35:48AND EVERY TRILLIONAIRE M.A.G.A.
00:35:51DONOR AND WE WENT UP AGAINST OUR
00:35:53OWN GOLIATHS, YOU ARE MY SLINGSHOT AND TONIGHT WE
00:35:57DEFEATED GOLIATH. YOU WILL HEAR MORE IN THE WEEKS
00:36:00AND MONTHS AND YEARS TO AND FROM JAMES TALARICO. WE HAVE A LOT MORE TO SHARE WITH
00:36:04YOU AND WE'LL TAKE A QUICK BREAK.
00:36:05WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH
00:36:08"AMERICA VOTES."
00:38:47(♪) (♪) >> Adrienne: WELCOME BACK TO A
00:38:51SPECIAL EDITION OF "THE NATIONAL." "AMERICA VOTES."
00:38:55WE NOW KNOW THAT THE DEMOCRATS HAVE TAKEN BOTH THE HOUSE AND THE SENATE.
00:38:58THIS IS A HUGE NIGHT FOR THE DEMOCRATS. INTERESTING ONE FOR PRESIDENT
00:39:02DONALD TRUMP AS HE CONTEMPLATES
00:39:04THE NEXT TWO YEARS AS A LAME DUCK PRESIDENT WHO LOST CONTROL
00:39:08OF THOSE TWO CHAMBERS. ONE OF THE BIG STORIES TONIGHT
00:39:11IS TEXAS. A BIG STATE AND BIG STORY AND BIG RESULTS.
00:39:15LET'S GO TO KATIE SIMPSON RIGHT
00:39:16THERE IN AUSTIN, TEXAS. KATIE?
00:39:20>> Reporter: HEY, ADRIENNE, WELL, THE BIG PARTY HAS CLEARED OUT AND IT'S MOVING INTO THE
00:39:24STREETS AT THIS POINT AND WE'RE GETTING REPORTS THAT THERE'S A
00:39:27CELEBRATION OVER AT THE CAPITOL. BUT IS IT UNUSUAL FOR ME TO BE
00:39:30THE LAST PERSON AT A PARTY? ABSOLUTELY NOT. SO WE ARE HAPPY TO BRING YOU
00:39:34THAT UPDATE. THIS IS A MASSIVE NIGHT FOR
00:39:37DEMOCRATS IN TEXAS.
00:39:39JAMES TALARICO DEMO DEFYING THES
00:39:43AND THERE'S NOT BEEN A DEMOCRAT ELECTED TO THE SENATE FROM TEXAS
00:39:47SINCE 1988. AND, OF COURSE, THE STATISTIC OR
00:39:50THE FACT THAT EVERYONE POINTS OUT IS THAT JAMES TALARICO WAS
00:39:53BORN IN 1989.
00:39:56SO THIS IS A GENERATIONAL CHANGE IN TEXAS.
00:39:59ALSO OF NOTE, THIS IS A MESSAGE
00:40:02SENT TO LEADERSHIP IN TEXAS,
00:40:05GREG ABBOTT, THE INCUMBENT HERE
00:40:08AND THE REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR AND
00:40:10DEFEATED BY GINA HINOJOSA AND
00:40:13THE DEMOCRATIC CHALLENGER HERE. A LOT OF THE BORDER COMMUNITIES
00:40:17THAT HAD VOTED FOR DONALD TRUMP
00:40:18IN 2024 TO HELP HIM TO WIN THE ELECTION, MANY COMMUNITIES THAT
00:40:22ARE LARGELY HISPANIC VOTERS,
00:40:25THEY HAVE SHIFTED BACK TO DEMOCRATS.
00:40:27AND SO THAT IS PART OF THE STORY HERE AS WELL AS THE STRONG
00:40:30TURNOUTS IN THE LARGER CITY
00:40:32CENTRES WHICH ARE TYPICALLY DEMOCRATIC STRONGHOLDS MORE IN
00:40:36TEXAS. SO THERE IS GOING TO CERTAINLY
00:40:39BE -- THIS IS GOING TO BE THE CENTRE OF FOCUS FOR DEMOCRATS
00:40:42FOR THE SHORT TERM FUTURE. WHETHER THEY NEED TO POUR MORE
00:40:45RESOURCES INTO THIS STATE AS THEY LOOK FORWARD TO ELECTIONS IN THE FUTURE.
00:40:49AND WHETHER THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS A GENERATIONAL CHANGE
00:40:52THAT IS HERE TO STAY OR WHETHER THIS IS SOMETHING UNIQUE AND PARTICULAR ABOUT THE
00:40:56CIRCUMSTANCES HERE. OF COURSE, THE CHANGE IS NOT JUST THE PART OF THE TEXAS
00:41:00STORY. IT IS THE BROADER STORY ACROSS THE UNITED STATES.
00:41:03DONALD TRUMP HAD MADE THE CASE TO VOTERS IN ALL OF THOSE
00:41:06RALLIES THAT HE WENT TO AND IN ALL OF THOSE STATES IN THE FINAL
00:41:09PUSH OF THIS ELECTION CAMPAIGN, YOU KNOW, THAT TELLING VOTERS TO
00:41:13TREAT THE BALLOT LIKE I'M ON IT. AND ONE OF THE VOTERS THAT WE
00:41:17SPOKE WITH HERE IN TEXAS, SHE
00:41:18SAYS THAT THIS RESULT, THIS BLUE
00:41:21WAVE, THE WAY THAT THE VOTE IS CHANGING AND THE POWER DYNAMIC
00:41:24IN WASHINGTON IS GOING TO CHANGE.
00:41:26ONE OF THOSE DEMOCRATS THAT WE
00:41:29SPOKE TO HERE CONTRIBUTES DONALD TRUMP'S RHETORIC AS PART OF THE
00:41:33BROADER REASON THAT SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE SHOWN UP IN SUCH --
00:41:36SUCH A WAY TO SEND SUCH A DIRECT MESSAGE TO WASHINGTON.
00:41:40A DIRECT MESSAGE TO DONALD TRUMP THAT THIS IS A CHECK ON HIS POWER.
00:41:43AND NOW CANADIANS WILL BE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE FACT THAT EVEN
00:41:46THOUGH THIS IS GOING TO BE A CHANGE IN WASHINGTON AND THERE ARE GOING TO BE A LOT OF
00:41:50HEADACHES AND HURDLES FOR THE
00:41:53FINAL TWO YEARS OF HIS PRESIDENCY, WHEN IT COMES TO ISSUES THAT CANADIANS ARE
00:41:57WATCHING CLOSELY, LIKE TRADE --
00:41:59AND, OF COURSE, TARIFFS, DONALD TRUMP STILL HAS A LOT OF POWER
00:42:03IN HIS POCKET WHEN IT COMES TO EXECUTIVE ORDERS.
00:42:05WHEN IT COMES TO THE ACTIONS OF THE COMMERCE DEPARTMENT AND THE
00:42:08ACTIONS OF THE U.S. TRADE REPRESENTATIVE'S OFFICE. SO WHILE THERE'S GOING TO BE A
00:42:12COMPLETELY DIFFERENT DYNAMIC IN WASHINGTON, DONALD TRUMP'S
00:42:15AGENDA IS GOING TO FACE
00:42:18SIGNIFICANT HURDLES AND MAJOR DISTRACTIONS. CANADIANS WHO ARE LOOKING FOR
00:42:22CHANGE MAY NEED TO SORT OF HOLD ON AND TO BRACE FOR MORE OF THE
00:42:25SAME WHEN IT COMES TO AT LEAST
00:42:28DONALD TRUMP'S TRADE AGENDA AND
00:42:31TARIFF AGENDA AT LEAST WITH
00:42:36THOSE THINGS AT HIS POSITION.
00:42:39>> Adrienne: THANK YOU FOR YOUR REPORTING THROUGHOUT THE LAST 14
00:42:42YEARS WE'VE BEEN ON THE AIR.
00:42:43THANK YOU, KATIE SIMPSON IN AUSTIN, TEXAS.
00:42:47AND PAUL HUNTER WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT TEXAS AND THE DEMOCRATIC
00:42:50WIN AND AN INTERESTING NUMBER TO
00:42:52THINK ABOUT?
00:42:55>> Paul: BEE HAVE BEEN ON FOR HOW LONG -- 14 HOURS.
00:42:58IT'S CLEAR THAT A LOT OF REPUBLICANS STAYED HOME AND A COMMENT ON THE LEADERSHIP OF DONALD TRUMP.
00:43:03AND I NOTE, KATIE MENTIONED GENERATIONAL CHANGE AND WE WERE
00:43:06TALKING ABOUT THAT EARLIER AND YOU SAW THE YOUNG PEOPLE BEHIND
00:43:09HIM. AND I WAS IN A LIVING ROOM RALLY
00:43:12WITH BETO O'ROURKE IN 2014, AND
00:43:15THE PROBLEM IS THAT YOUNG PEOPLE DON'T VOTE, MAYBE THEY ARE NOW.
00:43:19>> Adrienne: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND STICK WITH US, WE'LL BE
00:43:21RIGHT BACK WITH "AMERICA VOTES."
00:43:24WE'LL TAKE A QUICK BREAK BUT WE WILL BE RIGHT
00:46:34>> Adrienne:
00:46:40>> Adrienne: WELCOME BACK TO A SPECIAL EDITION OF "THE
00:46:42NATIONAL" AND "AMERICA VOTES."
00:46:44WE ARE KEEPING AN EYE ON THE UNITED STATES TONIGHT AND THE
00:46:48DEMOCRATS HAVE TAKEN CONTROL OF BOTH THE HOUSE AND THE SENATE.
00:46:51WE HAVE SOME MORE NUMBER COMING IN AND SO FOR THAT WE'LL GO TO
00:46:54DAVID COCHRANE. >> David: CATCH UP ON THE SEATS THAT STILL HAVEN'T BEEN
00:46:58OFFICIALLY BEEN PROJECTED BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.
00:47:00LET'S START WITH MAINE WHERE
00:47:03SUSAN COLLINS IS CONTINUING TO
00:47:05TRAIL, 67% OF THE VOTE IN NOW AND ABOUT A FOUR AND A HALF
00:47:09POINT LEAD FOR THE DEMOCRAT. BUT STILL TOO EARLY TO CALL
00:47:12THOUGH THERE ARE REPORTS THAT
00:47:15SUSAN COLLINS HAS CALLED TO CONCEDE.
00:47:17AND LET'S LOOK AT MICHIGAN NOW,
00:47:19WITH 60% OF THE VOTES IN AND
00:47:23ABDUL El-SAYED AND HE'S AT
00:47:2557.7%, ABOUT THREE POINTS OVER THE REPUBLICAN MIKE ROGERS.
00:47:29AND A SURPRISINGLY CLOSE ONE IN MISSISSIPPI, WHERE THE NUMBERS
00:47:32THERE, WITH 95% OF THE VOTE IN,
00:47:34AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT -- IT MIGHT NOT BE
00:47:38ENOUGH LEFT FOR SCOTT COLOM TO
00:47:41TAKE THIS SEAT FROM CINDY
00:47:45HYDE-SMITH, AND NEBRASKA, WE'RE STILL COUNTING THE VOTES THERE.
00:47:48AND PETE RICKETTS WITH A THREE-POINT LEAD OVER DAN
00:47:52OSBORNE, THE INDEPENDENT THERE WITH 61% OF THE VOTE COUNTED.
00:47:55AND WE HAVE RESULTS FROM ALASKA. LOOK AT THAT.
00:47:58WELCOME TO THE PARTY, ALASKA.
00:48:01WITH 54% OF THE VOTE AND 22%
00:48:04COUNTED AND THE LEADING REPUBLICAN DAN SULLIVAN AND THE
00:48:07INDEPENDENT DAN SULLIVAN -- AND
00:48:10DAN SULLIVANS -- I DON'T KNOW
00:48:12WHAT THE PLURAL IS, ADRIENNE, BUT THE DEMOCRATS ARE IN THE LEAD THERE.
00:48:16AND IF NO ONE HAS MORE THAN 50% OF THE VOTE IN ALASKA IT GOES TO
00:48:19A RUNOFF AND THE TABULAR COULD TAKE WEEKS TO GET SETTLED, BUT
00:48:23ON THE FIRST RESULTS DEMOCRATS ARE IN THE LEAD.
00:48:25SO THEY HAVE GOT CONTROL OF THE HOUSE AND THE SENATE AND THEY'RE
00:48:29IN A FAVOURABLE POSITION TO ADD
00:48:31TO THE 52 NOW.
00:48:34>> Adrienne: YOU ARE A REMARKABLE RESULTS WRANGLER.
00:48:37THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT. AND ALL RIGHT WE'LL TAKE ANOTHER
00:48:41QUICK BREAK AND WHEN WE COME BACK WE'LL HAVE A CHAT WITH OUR
00:48:44PANEL HERE BECAUSE THEY HAVE A LOT OF THOUGHTS.
00:48:46WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
00:52:08(♪) >> Adrienne: WELCOME BACK TO A SPECIAL EDITION OF "THE
00:52:11NATIONAL," "AMERICA VOTES." WE HAVE HEARD THE AMERICANS
00:52:15TONIGHT, THEY SPOKE LOUD AND
00:52:17CLEAR AND IN ENORMOUS NUMBERS.
00:52:20THE DEMOCRATS HAVE TAKEN CONTROL OF THE HOUSE AND THE SENATE.
00:52:23SO NOW WHAT HAPPENED?
00:52:26ASHLEY ÉTIENNE, THE DEMOCRAT ON OUR PANEL HERE.
00:52:29HOW DOES THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY SPEND THEIR POLITICAL CAPITAL
00:52:33BECAUSE THEY CAN'T WASTE IT. >> I THINK THAT IT'S REALLY SIMPLE AND VERY EASY.
00:52:37THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN
00:52:40LOUDLY TONIGHT OVERWHELMINGLY AND HAVE CONVEYED THEY WANT
00:52:43CHANGE AND THEY WANT IT
00:52:44PRIMARILY AROUND THEIR POCKET
00:52:49POCKETBOOKS SO THE FIRST ORDER IS HOW TO ADDRESS THE ECONOMIC
00:52:52CONCERNS OF THIS NATION AND GET US BACK ON TRACK.
00:52:55SO THAT'S WHAT IT AMOUNTS TO.
00:52:59>> Adrienne:AND, MAURY, IN THE BEGINNING AS A REPUBLICAN YOU
00:53:02TALKED ABOUT HOW YOU WERE ONE OF THE PEOPLE URGING THE
00:53:05REPUBLICANS TO FIND AN OFF-RAMP FROM DONALD TRUMP.
00:53:08IS THAT STILL THE ADVICE NOW? HOW QUICKLY IS THAT GOING TO HAPPEN?
00:53:12LIKE ARE WE STARTING TO HEAR THE ENGINES STARTING ALREADY AND
00:53:15PEOPLE SKIDDING AWAY? >> I THINK THAT YOU ARE AND YOU SAW IT DURING THE CAMPAIGN WHERE
00:53:19THE CANDIDATES THAT WERE RUNNING STARTED TAKING DOWN PHOTOS THEY
00:53:23HAD WITH THE PRESIDENT.
00:53:24AND THEY REMOVED HIM FROM THEIR
00:53:27ADS AND THEY DENOUNCED THINGS THAT IMPACTED THEIR CONSTITUENCY
00:53:31OR THEIR HOPEFUL CONSTITUENCY AND RECOGNISING THAT HIS
00:53:34POLICIES AND PERSONAL BEHAVIOURS REALLY CONFLICTED WITH EITHER
00:53:38THE MORALITY OF THEIR CONSTITUENCIES, BUT ALSO THEIR
00:53:41POCKETBOOKS AND THINGS THAT IMPACT THEM DIRECTLY. SO THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO
00:53:45TAKE AN OFF-RAMP FROM DONALD TRUMP AND REMIND VOTERS WHAT IT
00:53:48IS THAT YOU STAND FOR AND REMIND VOTERS OF THE PRINCIPLES AND THE
00:53:52CORE VALUES THAT YOU WERE GOING
00:53:54TO BE THERE IN CONGRESS OR WHATEVER THE ROLE MAY BE --
00:53:57WHETHER IT'S DOWN BALLOT, ADVOCATING FOR.
00:54:01AND THE REDISTRICTING FAILURES THAT WE WATCHED, THAT'S A REAL PROBLEM.
00:54:04AND IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT REPUBLICANS EVER CONSIDERED OR WOULD BE BACKING.
00:54:08SO START TO RETRACT SOME OF THOSE THINGS AND RECLAIM THE
00:54:11POWER OF THE PURSE AND RECLAIM CONGRESS' ROLE TO BE A CHECK ON
00:54:15THE EXECUTIVE POWERS. AND TO REALLY TAKE A STAND AGAINST DONALD TRUMP.
00:54:19I THINK IT WILL PROVE BETTER FOR REPUBLICANS IN THE LONG RUN.
00:54:23>> Adrienne: MAURA, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, AND AMBASSADOR HILLMAN, AS YOU HAVE BEEN
00:54:26SITTING HERE AND WE HAVE BEEN THINKING AND TALKING ABOUT CANADA AND IF YOU WERE TO GET ON
00:54:30THE PHONE TO OTTAWA OR YOUR COLLEAGUES IN THE UNITED STATES,
00:54:33WHAT WOULD YOU BE TELLING THEM ABOUT TOMORROW? >> WELL, IT'S A BIG CHANGE.
00:54:37IT'S A BIG MESSAGE I THINK FOR CANADA, AND IT'S HEARTENING
00:54:40BECAUSE THE MESSAGE IS THAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE SAID THAT
00:54:43POLICIES THAT AFFECT THEIR POCKETBOOKS, INCLUDING THE
00:54:46TARIFF POLICIES, ARE NOT POLICIES THEY SUPPORT. AND THAT'S IMPORTANT.
00:54:50AND IT'S NOT A SILVER BULLET BECAUSE THIS CONGRESS WON'T BE
00:54:54ABLE TO CHANGE THROUGH LEGISLATION THE BEHAVIOURS OF
00:54:56THE PRESIDENT IF HE STICKS TO
00:54:59THOSE POLICIES.
00:55:02HE'S IMPLEMENTING THROUGH LEGISLATIVE MEASURES THAT HE HAS.
00:55:05SO NOT A SILVER BULLET BUT AN
00:55:10IMPORTANT DISCUSSION. AND GET IN THERE AND TALK TO
00:55:12FOLKS THAT YOU NEED TO TALK TO,
00:55:15TO REINFORCE THE MOMENTUM.
00:55:17AND I WOULD SAY TO THE CANADIAN
00:55:20GOVERNMENT TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE UNITED
00:55:23STATES OVER THE NEXT DAYS AND
00:55:25WEEKS AND, YOU KNOW, SEE IF THE DEBATE CHANGES.
00:55:28AND SEE HOW THAT AFFECTS THE CONVERSATIONS THAT WE'RE HAVING
00:55:32ON THE THINGS THAT MATTER SO MUCH TO CANADIANS.
00:55:34>> Adrienne: ALL RIGHT,
00:55:36AMBASSADOR HILLMAN AND ASHLEY
00:55:40ÉTIENNE, AND MAURA GILL PETION ,
00:55:45THANK YOU. PAUL?
00:55:48>> Paul: IS THE U.S. AT AN INFLECTION POINT AND IT DEPENDS
00:55:51ON WHAT THE DEMOCRATS WILL DO AND THE REPUBLICANS WILL DO AND
00:55:54MOST IMPORTANTLY WHAT IS DONALD TRUMP GOING TO DO.
00:55:57I WAS IN THE WHITE HOUSE IN 2020
00:55:59AND HE WAS ANGRY THAT NIGHT WHEN HE WAS LOSING.
00:56:02WHAT WILL HE DO NOW?
00:56:03THAT'S THE QUESTION.
00:56:06>> Adrienne: POSSIBLY. AND PAUL HUNTER THANK YOU VERY
00:56:09MUCH, AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US FOR OUR SPECIAL COVERAGE OF AN HISTORIC NIGHT IN
00:56:13THE UNITED STATES, WITH CONSEQUENCES THAT WILL EXTEND
00:56:16FAR BEYOND ITS BORDERS. THE DEMOCRATS WILL TAKE CONTROL
00:56:19OF BOTH THE HOUSE AND THE SENATE. SENATE
00:56:23FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS OF DONALD TRUMP'S PRESIDENCY.
00:56:25YOU CAN FIND MORE RESULTS ON OUR
00:56:28WEBSITE AND "MORNING LIVE" WILL
00:56:30PICK IT UP AT 5:00 A.M. EASTERN.
00:56:33ON BEHALF OF THE ENTIRE TEAM,
00:56:35THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US.
01:00:25>> David: GOOD WED MORNING I'M
01:00:28DAVID COMMON LIVE IN DETROIT DONALD TRUMP ANSWER REPUBLICANS
01:00:30FACE STUNNING DEFEAT IN THE MIDTERMS THEY LOST CONGRESS TO
01:00:34THE DEMOCRATS IN A SURGING WAVE
01:00:36IN VOTER ANGER OVER HIGH PRICES,
01:00:39TRUMP'S TRADE WAR AGAINST CANADA ONE OF THE BIG REASONS ESPECIALLY HERE IN MICHIGAN.
01:00:43THE LOSS IS HISTORY MAKING, IT'S NOT OVER YET.
01:00:46TRUMP NOW POLITICALLY WEAKER THAN HE HAS BEEN SINCE HIS
01:00:49RETURN TO THE WHITE HOUSE. THAT COULD CREATE AN OPENING FOR
01:00:52OTTAWA TO GET A DEAL.
01:00:55>> THERE IS NOW A GENERATIONAL
01:00:59REMAKE OF THE SENATE MAP
