00:00:25>> David: GOOD WED MORNING I'M
00:00:27DAVID COMMON LIVE IN DETROIT DONALD TRUMP ANSWER REPUBLICANS
00:00:30FACE STUNNING DEFEAT IN THE MIDTERMS THEY LOST CONGRESS TO
00:00:34THE DEMOCRATS IN A SURGING WAVE
00:00:36IN VOTER ANGER OVER HIGH PRICES,
00:00:39TRUMP'S TRADE WAR AGAINST CANADA ONE OF THE BIG REASONS ESPECIALLY HERE IN MICHIGAN.
00:00:43THE LOSS IS HISTORY MAKING, IT'S NOT OVER YET.
00:00:46TRUMP NOW POLITICALLY WEAKER THAN HE HAS BEEN SINCE HIS
00:00:49RETURN TO THE WHITE HOUSE. THAT COULD CREATE AN OPENING FOR
00:00:52OTTAWA TO GET A DEAL.
00:00:54>> THERE IS NOW A GENERATIONAL
00:00:59REMAKE OF THE SENATE MAP THAT IS
00:01:02GOING TO CHANGE AMERICA NOW AND
00:01:05ON INTO THE FUTURE. >> David: TRUMP SAYS HE IS
00:01:08WILLING TO VETO MANY DEMOCRATIC
00:01:10INITIATIVES BUT ALSO THAT HE
00:01:13ACCEPTS THE RESULTS. >> EVERYTHING'S BIGGER IN TEXAS
00:01:16INCLUDING THIS POLITICAL UPSET. DEMOCRATS BREAK A 30-YEAR
00:01:19REPUBLICAN STRANGLE HOLD ON STATE WIDE OFFICES.
00:01:23>> ALWAYS BET ON THE UNDERDOG.
00:01:27WE BUILT A MOVEMENT UNLIKE ANY THIS STATE HAS EVER SEEN.
00:01:31>> David: THE PARTY FLIPPED BOTH THE SENATE AND GOVERNOR SEATS.
00:01:35WE'RE LOOKING AT WHERE ELSE THEY
00:01:38MADE HISTORIC GAINS.
00:01:41AND ALL MORNING WE EXAMINE WHAT THIS MEANS FOR CANADA.
00:01:44DOES THIS SHAKEUP MAKE IT EASIER OR HARDER TO NEGOTIATE A TRADE
00:01:48DEAL?
00:01:54>> THERE IS LOTS BREAKING THIS MORNING WE'RE GOING TO START
00:01:56WHERE WE ARE HERE IN MICHIGAN.
00:02:00DEMOCRAT ABDUL EL SAYED WHO MADE
00:02:02THE TRADE WAR CAN CANADA PART OF
00:02:05HIS CAMPAIGN HAS WON A KEY
00:02:07SENATE SEAT.
00:02:10>> MICHIGAN, WE DID IT!
00:02:15>> THEY MIGHT HAVE BEEN POINTING TO MY NAME AND MY FAITH BUT WE
00:02:18ALL KNOW MY NAME AND MY FAITH AREN'T THE REASON YOU CAN'T
00:02:21AFFORD YOUR GAS, NOT THE REASON YOU CAN'T AFFORD YOUR GROCERIES,
00:02:24NOT THE REASON YOU CAN'T SEE A
00:02:28DOCTOR. WE BUILT A MOVEMENT. GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE
00:02:32PEOPLE AND FOR THE PEOPLE. WE SHOWED THAT IN A BATTLE
00:02:35BETWEEN MONEY AND THE MANY, THAT
00:02:37THE MANY REALLY CAN WIN.
00:02:41>> David: EL SAYED WILL BECOME THE FIRST-EVER MUSLIM SENATOR IN
00:02:45AMERICAN HISTORY. TRUMP AND THE REPUBLICANS TRIED TO MAKE HIS RELIGION THE
00:02:49DECISIVE ISSUE CALLING HIM A JIHADIST.
00:02:52EL SAYED BEAT OUT A MASSIVE
00:02:55CAMPAIGN SPENT AGAINST HIM IN A NOVEMBER SURPRISE THAT SAW A
00:02:58PARTY RIVAL SHIFT HER SUPPORT TO
00:03:02HIS REPUBLICAN OPPONENT.
00:03:04EL SAYED A PROVING DEMOCRAT HIS
00:03:06CRITICISM OF ISRAEL MADE HIS
00:03:08CONTROVERSIAL AS WELL HIS WIN INSTANTLY BOOTS HIS NATIONAL
00:03:12PROFILE AS A VOICE FOR THE PARTY.
00:03:14IT IS HARD TO OVERESTIMATE THE
00:03:16SIZE OF THIS BLUE WAVE.
00:03:18VOTERS ARE MAKE DONALD TRUMP PAY A HISTORIC PRICE BLAMING HIS
00:03:22TARIFF FIGHT WITH CANADA AND THE WAR WITH IRAN THAT HE CAN'T SEEM
00:03:25TO GET OUT OF. VOTERS ARE ANGRY OVER FOOD, GAS,
00:03:29ESSENTIALS ALL COSTING MORE AND
00:03:32PUNISHING FOR FAILING TO DO WHAT HE PROMISED BRING DOWN PRICES
00:03:35AND MAKE THEIR LIVES MORE AFFORDABLE A. DEMOCRATS WILL TAKE CONTROL OF
00:03:39CONGRESS COME JANUARY EASILY GAINING THE THREE SEATS THEY NEEDED TO WIN THE HOUSE.
00:03:42ALL THIS COULD TAKE DAYS UNTIL
00:03:44ALL THE REST OF THE RACES ARE DECIDED.
00:03:47AND THE DEMOCRATS ARE ON TRACK
00:03:48FOR A BIGGER HOUSE MAJORITY EVEN
00:03:52THAN POLLS SUGGESTED. IT'S THE SENATE WHERE THE
00:03:55DEMOCRATS ARE MAKING A LANDMARK BREAK THROUGH.
00:03:59THEY HAVE WON SEVEN SEATS FLIPPING THEM FROM THE
00:04:02REPUBLICANS, ALL OF THEM WERE TOSSUPS GOING THEIR WAY.
00:04:05AND DEMOCRATS COULD WIN MORE, BUILDING ON THAT SENATE MAJORITY.
00:04:09DONALD TRUMP, THE FIRST PRESIDENT TO LOSE HIS CONGRESSIONAL MAJORITY IN 20
00:04:13YEARS AND HE IS OUT WITH THE BLAME GAME THIS MORNING.
00:04:15IN THE DAYS BEFORE THE VOTE, HE CLAIMED, WITHOUT EVIDENCE, THE
00:04:19DEMOCRATS WERE CHEATING. SOME OF HIS MOST FERVENT
00:04:23SUPPORTERS URGED HIM TO DECLARE A NATIONAL EMERGENCY AND SEND IN
00:04:26ARMED FEDERAL FORCES TO SEIZE VOTING MACHINES AND BALLOTS.
00:04:29AND THIS MORNING, TRUMP TELLS
00:04:33FOX NEWS HE ACCEPTS THE RESULTS.
00:04:37>> YOU'RE GOING TO ACCEPT ALL THESE RACES, RIGHT.
00:04:40>> YEAH, SURE I'LL ACCEPT THEM. WHY WASN'T I?
00:04:43I WASN'T ON THE BALLOT. IF I WAS ON THE BALLOT THEY
00:04:46WOULD HAVE GOTTEN OUT. >> David: HE HASN'T APPEARED IN PUBLIC SINCE HIS CLOSING MESSAGE
00:04:50ON THE REFLECTING POOL IN WASHINGTON ON MONDAY.
00:04:52THERE HE IS FROM THAT FOX INTERVIEW IT IS NOT REALLY CLEAR
00:04:56IF TRUMP IS REGISTERING WHAT IS
00:04:58HIS VOTER ANGER, HIS PUNISHMENT, HIS HISTORIC LOW APPROVAL RATING
00:05:02IS AT THE CORE OF THE REPUBLICANS DEFEAT LAUNCHING THE
00:05:05TARIFF FIGHT WITH CANADA AND THE WORLD LAST YEAR.
00:05:08THAT ALL STARTED THIS SLIDE AND THE FALL HAS BEEN ACCELERATING
00:05:11AS ENERGY PRICES SPIKE BECAUSE OF THAT U.S. WAR ON IRAN.
00:05:15OKAY, TRUMP NOW, WHAT IS KNOWN AS A LAME DUCK PRESIDENT.
00:05:18HE CAN'T RUN FOR THE WHITE HOUSE AGAIN.
00:05:20THAT IS FORBIDDEN UNDER THE CONSTITUTION. HE IS POLITICALLY WOUNDED.
00:05:24HE'S TALKING ABOUT WORKING WITH DEMOCRATS WHEN THEY TAKE CONTROL
00:05:27OF CONGRESS IN JANUARY. BUT HE'S ALSO POSTED THIS, A
00:05:31MAGA HAT EDITED WITH THE WORD VETO ACROSS IT.
00:05:34HE RETAINS THE POWER TO REJECT ANY LEGISLATION PASSED IN THE
00:05:38NEW DEMOCRATIC-CONTROLLED CONGRESS. THE DEMOCRATS DO NOT AND WILL
00:05:41NOT HAVE THE TWO-THIRDS MAJORITY
00:05:42NEEDED TO OVERRIDE THAT VETO.
00:05:46THAT IS, UNLESS SOME REPUBLICANS SIDE WITH THEM. ALL RIGHT, THAT IS THE STATE OF
00:05:50PLAY.
00:05:51LET'S GO NOW TO MARK WHO IS IN
00:05:54WASHINGTON LOOKING AT THIS DEMOCRATIC BREAK THROUGH.
00:05:56IN PLACES, MARK, WHERE TRUMP WON
00:06:00JUST TWO YEARS AGO BY DOUBLE
00:06:03DIGITS, AND THAT PERHAPS, IS THE STORY NOT JUST OF THE POLITICAL
00:06:06DIVIDE, BUT OF THE POLITICAL SHIFT. >> YES.
00:06:10AND IN MANY PLACES WHERE HE WON
00:06:12BY DOUBLE DIGITS IN THE LAST
00:06:15PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION IN 2024,
00:06:18CANDIDATES WITH HIS REPUBLICAN
00:06:20RIDING LOST, SOMETIMES BY DOUBLE DIGITS AS WELL SHOWING A
00:06:23COMPLETE REVERSAL OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS.
00:06:26AS YOU MENTIONED DAVID THE MIDTERMS ARE VERY MUCH A
00:06:29REFERENDUM ON THE FIRST TWO YEARS OF THE PRESIDENT'S TERM
00:06:32AND THE RECORD WITHIN THAT. WHILE AMERICANS CERTAINLY VOTED
00:06:35TO SHOW THAT THEY ARE NOT HAPPY
00:06:37WITH THE WAY THINGS WERE UNDER PRESIDENT TRUMP TOTALLY REMAKING
00:06:41THE CONGRESS, DEMOCRATS TAKING FULL CONTROL, THE HOUSE, THE SENATE.
00:06:44IF YOU'VE BEEN WATCHING OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS, YOU KNOW
00:06:46THAT WE'VE BEEN REPORTING ON POLLS SHOWING THAT IT WAS ALMOST
00:06:50CERTAIN THAT DEMOCRATS WOULD TAKE THE HOUSE, BUT THAT THE
00:06:53SENATE WAS A TOSS-UP.
00:06:55NOT ONLY DID IT GO IN THE
00:06:58DEMOCRATS' FAVOUR BUT IT WENT SURPRISINGLY WELL FOR THEM AS
00:07:01THEY NOW TAKE CONTROL OF BOTH CHAMBERS OF CONGRESS.
00:07:05NOW, WITH KEEPING IN MIND THAT THE NEW CONGRESS DOES NOT TAKE
00:07:08EFFECT UNTIL JANUARY, AND SO REPUBLICANS STILL HAVE FULL
00:07:11CONTROL FOR THE NEXT TWO MONTHS OR SO. IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE
00:07:15WHAT THEY DO WITH THOSE LAST TWO MONTHS WHERE THEY DO HAVE FULL CONTROL.
00:07:18BUT IN TERMS OF WHAT THIS MEANS FOR THE DEMOCRATS, THEY NOW HOLD
00:07:21THE MAIN POWER, THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO BLOCK ANY LEGISLATION
00:07:25PUT FORWARD BY THE REPUBLICANS. THEY ALSO HAVE THE ABILITY TO
00:07:29PUT FORWARD THEIR OWN LEGISLATION.
00:07:31NOW, AS DAVID MENTIONED, THE PRESIDENT ULTIMATELY HAS VETO POWER.
00:07:35HE CAN, AND AS HE SAYS, WILL BLOCK THE MAJORITY OF WHAT THE
00:07:39DEMOCRATS PUT FORWARD. BUT THIS ESSENTIALLY GIVES THEM
00:07:42A PRACTICE RUN AND A CHANCE TO SHOW THE AMERICAN PEOPLE OVER
00:07:44THE NEXT TWO YEARS, WHAT THEIR AGENDA IS, WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING
00:07:48TO PUT FORWARD, WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING TO DO TO SHAPE THE
00:07:52GOVERNMENT AND THE COUNTRY AND
00:07:55PERHAPS SET FORTH THAT MESSAGE SO THAT IN TWO YEAR'S TIME WHEN
00:07:58THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION COMES AROUND, HOVER THEIR CANDIDATE IS
00:08:01HAS A CLEAR AGENDA SET FORTH BY HIM.
00:08:04WE ALSO KNOW THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP STILL HAS EXECUTIVE POWERS.
00:08:07WE DO KNOW HE LIKES A GOOD EXECUTIVE ORDER. I KEEP SAYING THAT.
00:08:10THE DEMOCRATS CAN ALSO LAUNCH INVESTIGATIONS, THOUGH, AND
00:08:13SUBJECT THE TO CONGRESSIONAL OVERSIGHT AND IT SEEMS LEAK THAT
00:08:16IS PART OF THE PLAN FOR THE NEXT COUPLE YEARS. IN FACT, CALIFORNIA
00:08:19REPRESENTATIVE ROBERT GARCIA, WHO IS EXPECTED TO BECOME THE CHAIR OF THE HOUSE OVERSIGHT
00:08:24COMMITTEE, MADE THAT PRETTY
00:08:25CLEAR IN A TWEET ON X LAST
00:08:29NIGHT, CLEARLY DIRECTED AT PRESIDENT TRUMP, TWO WORDS,
00:08:31CAPITOL LETTERS, WHERE HE SIMPLY
00:08:34POSTED, LAWYER UP. NOW, WITH THIS DEMOCRAT CONTROL
00:08:37OF CONGRESS, NEW YORK REPRESENTATIVE HAKEEM JEFFRIES WILL BECOME THE NEW SPEAKER OF
00:08:40THE HOUSE, HE'S THE FIRST BLACK
00:08:43PERSON TO HOLD THAT ROLE. HE PROMISES CONGRESS WILL
00:08:46DELIVER FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
00:08:49JUST EXACTLY HOW MUCH THEY CAN DELIVER, THORAX REMAINS TO BE
00:08:52SEEN IN A CONGRESS THAT IS DIVIDED.
00:08:55HOWEVER REPRESENTATIVE JEFFERY'S SAYS, WELL, HE MADE SOME BIG
00:08:58PROMISES TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE YESTERDAY.
00:09:02>> THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE
00:09:05SPOKEN AND MADE CLEAR THEY'VE
00:09:07HAD ENOUGH OF THE EXTREMISM,
00:09:11ENOUGH OF THE CORRUPTION. THEY WANT A CONGRESS THAT'S
00:09:15GOING TO DELIVER FOR THE
00:09:17AMERICAN PEOPLE AND THAT IS
00:09:20EXACTLY WHAT HOUSE DEMOCRATS
00:09:22WILL DO AS SOON AS WE GET INTO
00:09:25OFFICE IN JANUARY.
00:09:29>> SO AGAIN, EXACTLY HOW MUCH THEY CAN DELIVER REMAINS TO BE SEEN.
00:09:33THEY MAY CONTROL THE HOUSE BUT THERE ARE STILL MANY CHOCKS AND
00:09:36BLOCKS AND BALANCES THEIR WAY
00:09:38JUST AS THERE ARE THE OTHER WAY AROUND.
00:09:41>> David: MARK, I DO WANT TO
00:09:43TALK ABOUT TRUMP HIMSELF.
00:09:46HE'S THE ACTUAL DEFINITION OF A LAME DUCK PRESIDENT RIGHT NOW,
00:09:49BUT IT'S ONE THING TO SAY THAT, IT'S ANOTHER TO UNDERSTAND
00:09:52WHETHER HE SEES IT THAT WAY. >> RIGHT.
00:09:55I MEAN, LISTENING TO WHAT HE'S
00:09:57TOLD AMERICAN MEDIA, IT'S CLEAR
00:09:59HE'S DEFINITELY AWARE OF THE FACT THAT HIS POWERS AND THE
00:10:03POWERS OF HIS PARTY WILL BE REDUCED COME JANUARY.
00:10:06BUT IT SOUNDS AS THOUGH HE STILL
00:10:08FEELS LIKE HE IS GOING TO PLAY A
00:10:10VERY SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN THIS.
00:10:13HE'S PROMISING TO WORK WITH THE
00:10:15DEMOCRAT PARTY OVER THE NEXT TWO YEARS.
00:10:18WE'LL SEE HOW MUCH HE DOES. FOR THE REPUBLICANS, THOUGH,
00:10:21THIS SIGNIFIES A MASSIVE LOSS, EVEN JUST THE SHEAR AMOUNT IN
00:10:25VARIOUS ELECTIONS HELD YESTERDAY OF NOTABLE REPUBLICANS WHO LOST
00:10:29THEIR POST. AND I WILL A GO THROUGH SOME OF THEM.
00:10:31IN MAINE, FOR INSTANCE, SENATOR SUSAN COLLINS HELD THAT SEAT
00:10:35SINCE 1997, ALMOST 30 YEARS.
00:10:38SHE LOST HER SEAT YESTERDAY, WHICH IS REALLY A SIGN.
00:10:41IF YOU THINK THAT THIS IS A REFERENDUM ON PRESIDENT TRUMP
00:10:44AFTER TWO YEARS OF HIS SECOND TERM, SUSAN COLLINS LOSING HER
00:10:47SPOT AFTER ALMOST 30 YEARS, THAT IS HUGE NEWS.
00:10:51IN TEXAS, DEMOCRAT JAMES
00:10:53TALARICO WINNING OVER
00:10:56HAND-PICKED TRUMP CANDIDATE KEN PAXTON.
00:10:58TEXAS EVEN VOTED OUT ITS
00:11:01LONG-TIME GOVERNOR GREG ABBOTT
00:11:03WHICH, AGAIN, SHOWS YOU THE SEAT CHANGE TAKING PLACE IN A STATE
00:11:07THAT HAS BEEN RUBY RED FOR MANY, MANY YEARS.
00:11:10AND EVEN TRUMP'S HAND-PICKED
00:11:13SOUTH CAROLINA SENATOR DARLENE GRAHAM, WHO WASN'T IN LONG, TWO
00:11:17YEARS, BUT SHE'S SORT OF THE
00:11:20HEIR APPARENT TO HER BROTHER THE
00:11:22LATE SENATOR LINDSAY GRAHAM LONG TIME SENATOR IN SOUTH CAROLINA
00:11:25SHE LOSES HER SEAT AS WELL ESSENTIALLY ENDING THE GRAHAM
00:11:29DYNASTY IN TEXAS. HOW THINGS GO FORWARD FROM HERE IN CONGRESS, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT
00:11:33THE PARTNERSHIP THAT IS GOING TO BE REQUIRED, THE CHEQUES AND
00:11:35BALANCES THAT GO EITHER WAY.
00:11:39PRESIDENT TRUMP SEEMS TO THINK THAT THINGS WILL GO SWIMMINGLY
00:11:42OVER THE NEXT TWO YEARS, AND THAT THAT PARTNERSHIP IS STILL THERE.
00:11:45HE LAID OUT FOR FOX NEWS HOW HE
00:11:47SEES THE NEXT TWO YEARS GOING.
00:11:50>> IT'S BEEN DONE BEFORE, AS YOU KNOW, NUMEROUS TIMES.
00:11:53IT'S THE POWER OF VETO,' ONE OF THE STRONGER POWERS THAT A
00:11:56PRESIDENT HAS AND THEY'LL SEND OVER THINGS THAT ARE INSANE AND
00:12:00I'LL VETO THEM AND AFTER A COUPLE OF MONTHS OF VETOES
00:12:03THEY'LL CALL AND THEY'LL SAY, HOW DO WE GET THIS STUFF DONE,
00:12:07AND WE'LL WORK TOGETHER.
00:12:08I HAVE A LOT OF FRIENDS THAT ARE DEMOCRATS, BELIEVE IT OR NOT.
00:12:12>> Reporter: PRESIDENT TRUMP TALKING ABOUT EXERCISING HIS VETO POWERS SHOULD NOT COME AS A
00:12:15SURPRISE, HE'S BEEN TALKING ABOUT IT FOR MONTHS HE TALKED ABOUT IT AGAIN YESTERDAY AND AS
00:12:19DAVID SHOWED YOU HE EVEN POSTED THE FOLLOWING IMAGE ON SOCIAL
00:12:22MEDIA OF A RED MAGA STYLE CHAD
00:12:26BUT INSTEAD OF MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN EMBROIDERED ON IT
00:12:28THE WORD VETO EMBROIDERED ON IT. IT'S CLEAR THE PATH THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP IS GOING TO BE
00:12:32TAKING THE STRATEGY HE'LL BE TAKING FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS.
00:12:35>> David: YEAH, MARK, ABSOLUTELY. IN SOME WAYS ONE STORY ENDED
00:12:39LAST NIGHT AND NOW A NEW STORY, ONE THAT WILL LIKELY FEATURE A
00:12:42LOT OF FIGHTING BEGINS. IT HAS BEEN GENERATIONS SINCE
00:12:46ANYONE COULD SAY TEXAS IS SENDING A DEMOCRAT TO THE SENATE.
00:12:49JAMES TALARICO, HE'S NOW THE BIG
00:12:53WINNER. >> THIS WIN IS FOR EVERY TEXAN
00:12:56WHO'S EVER WONDERED IF ANYONE IS LISTENING.
00:13:00I HEARD YOU. WE HEARD YOU, AND TONIGHT THE
00:13:04WORLD HEARS YOU.
00:13:09>> THE DEMOCRAT DEFEATED REPUBLICAN KEN PAXTON IN WHAT'S
00:13:12BEING CALLED THE MOST EXPENSIVE
00:13:15AMERICAN SENATE RACE EVER. MORE THAN HALF A BILLION DOLLARS
00:13:19SPENT JUST IN THAT ONE STATE, A
00:13:23SIZE POLITICAL SHIFT FIFER THE
00:13:25SECOND MOST POP LIST STATE
00:13:27UPENDING MORE THAN THREE DECADES OF REPUBLICAN CONTROL.
00:13:30TO THE CAPITOL AUSTIN, STEVE
00:13:34EARLY THIS MORNING OUTSIDE THE STATE CAPITOL. STEVE WE CANNOT UNDERSCORE THIS
00:13:38ENOUGH, THAT TEXAS WENT BLUE IS,
00:13:40IN MANY WAYS, A REPUDIATION OF
00:13:45TRUMP. >> Reporter: ABSOLUTELY. AND IT WASN'T JUST JAMES
00:13:47TALARICO WINNING THE SENATE,
00:13:51GINA SHE OUSTS GREG ABBOTT THE
00:13:54LONG TIME GOVERNOR WHOSE OFFICE IS BEHIND ME SHE WILL TAKE OVER
00:13:57AS GOVERNOR, LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR, ATTORNEY GENERAL,
00:14:00RAILROAD COMMISSIONER WHICH IS A VERY IMPORTANT POSITION HERE IN TEXAS ALL GOING DEMOCRAT.
00:14:04YOU HEARD MARK TALK ABOUT IT BEING RUBY RED, IT'S NOW GOING
00:14:08TO GO TO I GUESS ROYAL BLUE AT LEAST FOR THE MOMENT.
00:14:11BUT TALARICO'S RACE WAS SO CLOSELY WATCHED.
00:14:14IT WAS THOUGHT TO BE THE MOST IMPORTANT RACE.
00:14:17IN THE END DAVID NOT MUCH OF A CONTEST, MORE THAN 90% OF THE
00:14:20VOTES HAVE BEEN COUNTED, HE HAS
00:14:23AROUND 55% MORE THAN A MILLION
00:14:26VOTES IN TERMS OF KEN PAXTON. YOU HEARD A BIT OF HIM LAST
00:14:30NIGHT AT HIS VICTORY PARTY HERE IN AUSTIN. SOME OF THE PEOPLE MAY STILL BE
00:14:34CELEBRATING RIGHT NOW. THIS IS A BIT MORE ABOUT WHAT HE
00:14:37HAD TO SAY LAST NIGHT.
00:14:38>> WE WERE THE UNDERDOGS IN THIS RACE.
00:14:42WE WENT UP AGAINST NEARLY 40
00:14:45YEARS OF DOUBT AND DISILLUSIONMENT.
00:14:47WE WENT UP AGAINST MORE THAN
00:14:50$300 MILLION, MORE THAN ANY
00:14:52SENATE CAMPAIGN IN AMERICAN HISTORY.
00:14:54WE WENT UP AGAINST ALL THE NEGATIVE ADS, SMEAR CAMPAIGNS,
00:14:58FOREIGN BOTS AND AI DEEP FAKES
00:15:00THAT MONEY CAN BUY.
00:15:03THOSE, THOSE ATTACKS WERE THE
00:15:07FINAL HOWLS OF A DYING ESTABLISHMENT. >> Reporter: THOUGH LOTS OF
00:15:11CELEBRATION FROM THE TALARICO PEOPLE LAST NIGHT, THEY WERE CONFIDENT GOING IN BUT THEY
00:15:15ALTHOUGHS POINTED OUT WHEN I SPOKE TO THEM, HEY, THIS IS
00:15:18TEXAS, YOU CAN'T GUARANTEE A THING. BUT IN THE END HE DOES WIN IN A
00:15:22RELATIVELY COMFORTABLE MARGIN. NOW WE SHOULD POINT OUT HOW BIG
00:15:25A SEAT CHANGE THIS IS.
00:15:28THE LAST TIME ELECTED TO THE SENATE FROM TEXAS, 1988. IF YOU WANT TO SEE IF YOU
00:15:32REMEMBER THIS GUY, LLOYD BENSON
00:15:36WAS MICHAEL DUE DUCACUS'S
00:15:44RUNNING MATE. >> GOING BACK.
00:15:48>> AMAZING. >> David: YEAH, ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.
00:15:51LOOK, STEVE, I DO WANT TO ASK
00:15:55ABOUT WHAT THIS MEANS FOR THE MAGA MOVEMENT.
00:15:58IS THIS THE BEGINNING OF THE END?
00:16:01>> IT'S A MAYBE. I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY WHAT THEY
00:16:04VOTED FOR YESTERDAY WAS A REPUDIATION OF DONALD TRUMP.
00:16:08TRUMP WAS THE BIG ISSUE IN MANY OF THESE RACES.
00:16:10HE WAS THE KEY ISSUE IN THE
00:16:13SENATE RACE BUT ALSO FOR MANY OF THESE OTHER RACES BECAUSE
00:16:16ABBOTT'S A BIG SUPPORTER OF TRUMP.
00:16:18THEY DON'T LIKE THIS INFLATION.
00:16:21THEY DON'T LIKE WHAT THEY FEEL
00:16:24IS MAYBE ONE OF THE NEVER ENDING WARS, LIKE THE TARIFFS.
00:16:27SO MANY THINGS THEY DON'T LIKE THAT TRUMP DID AND IT FINALLY
00:16:30CAME BACK TO BITE HIM. WHEN THEY WERE GOING AGAINST TALARICO THEY TALKED ABOUT TRUMP
00:16:34AND SAID AT ONE POINT HE WANTS
00:16:37TO HAVE ALL YOUR CHILDREN
00:16:39TRANSITION, YOU KNOW, THE TRANS ISSUE FOR TRUMP.
00:16:43THE PEOPLE OF TEXAS, THE REGULAR PEOPLE WHO HAVE TO PAY BILLS
00:16:47WORRIED ABOUT, THEY WORRIED ABOUT THEIR POCKETBOOKS AND I
00:16:50THINK THAT WAS IN THE END THE KEY ISSUE. NOW OF COURSE THEY HAVE TO SHOW
00:16:53THAT THEY CAN GOVERN, THEY HAVE TO SHOW THEY CAN COME THROUGH
00:16:56WITH LEGISLATION THAT WILL HELP PEOPLE, THAT WILL TAKE SOME DOING.
00:16:59BUT RIGHT NOW IT IS A BIG
00:17:02REPUDIATION AND I THINK TEXAS IS A BIT SYMBOLIC NOT JUST HERE IN
00:17:06TEXAS BUT OF COURSE THE REST OF THE NATION. THE FACT, DAVID, THAT ALL THESE
00:17:09STATE-WIDE OFFICE HOLDERS, WHO ARE REPUBLICANS WHO WERE OUSTED
00:17:13LAST NIGHT, IT'S NOT JUST
00:17:14TALARICO AND THAT MEANS IT'S A
00:17:18BIT MORE THAN A REPUDIATION OF DONALD TRUMP.
00:17:19WELL A SEE WHERE IT GOES.
00:17:24>> David: ALL RIGHT. STEVE FETTERMAN IN AUSTIN THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
00:17:27FOR TEXANS AND ESPECIALLY CORE DEMOCRATS, THE MULTIPLE WINS IN
00:17:30THE LONG RED STATE PROMPTED A
00:17:32LOT OF EMOTION.
00:17:35>> HOW AM I FEELING? HOW AM I FEELING?
00:17:38THE STATE OF TEXAS HAS A SNOW
00:17:40SENATOR THAT IS A DEMOCRAT FOR
00:17:43THE FIRST TIME THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE EVEN BEEN ALIVE.
00:17:47HOW AM I FEELING? VICTORY.
00:17:50I CAN'T BELIEVE IT BECAUSE A LOT OF US HAS BEEN IN THE TRENCHES
00:17:53GRASS ROOT WORKS TO MAKE IT
00:17:56HAPPEN AND TONIGHT IS THE LAST
00:17:58LINE VICTORY.
00:18:04>> I'M FULL OF JOY AND THIS IS
00:18:10AMAZING. THE CONTROL OF THE MONEY AND THE
00:18:12CORRUPTION HAS JUST MADE LIKE --
00:18:14SEEMS LIKE THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE.
00:18:17LIKE IT DIDN'T SEEM POSSIBLE.
00:18:22THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN.
00:18:25THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN.
00:18:28>> QUITE SOMETHING TO SEE PEOPLE
00:18:31CRYING THERE AT DEMOCRAT JAMES TALARICO'S SENATE VICTORY PARTY IN TEXAS
00:18:34>> OKAY. LET'S LOOK AT WHAT ALL OF THIS
00:18:37MIGHT MEAN FOR CANADA. TRUMP IS STILL PRESIDENT AND
00:18:40WILL BE FOR TWO MORE YEARS.
00:18:41OUR CHIEF POLITICAL
00:18:44CORRESPONDENT ROSE MARIE BARTON
00:18:49WHETHER THE REBUKE MAKES IT HARDER TO MAKE A TRADE DEAL.
00:18:53>> THE CABINET MINISTER POSTED
00:18:54ON X, DON'T MAKE A DEAL WITH THE
00:18:57REPUTE 88ED AND DEPARTING
00:18:58PRESIDENT THAT NORMALIZES TARIFFS THAT AMERICANS AND
00:19:02CANADIANS DON'T WANT. SO WILL THERE NOW BE QUESTIONS
00:19:05ABOUT WHY YOU WOULD EVEN BOTHER STRIKING A DEAL WITH THE
00:19:08PRESIDENT THAT HAS ANY TARIFFS AT ALL.
00:19:11LIKE WHAT WOULD BE THE ADVANTAGE IN THIS MOMENT.
00:19:14NOW, THAT COULD BE CONSERVATIVE POSTURING AND POSITIONING FOR
00:19:17FUTURE CRITICISM OF THE PRIME MINISTER COMPLETELY.
00:19:20BUT I THINK IT'S -- IT DOES RAISE AN IMPORTANT POINT ABOUT
00:19:24THE TIME LINES NOW AROUND THIS, OR THE PRESSURE AROUND TRYING TO
00:19:28REACH A DEAL.
00:19:31OBVIOUSLY IT'S GOING TO BE VERY DIFFICULT FOR THE PRESIDENT TO
00:19:34GO AHEAD AND PUT THIS 50%
00:19:36TARIFFS ON AUTOS IN JANUARY IN
00:19:40THIS WORLD, RIGHT, WHEN HE IS
00:19:43JUST, ALL OF THESE THINGS HAVE JUST BEEN CLEARLY REJECTED BY
00:19:47AMERICANS. THERE'S LOTS OF QUESTIONS.
00:19:48BUT I THINK IT DRAMATICALLY
00:19:52CHANGES THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT'S THINKING AND STRATEGY GOING FORWARD IN TERMS
00:19:56OF HOW THEY HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE PRESIDENT.
00:20:00>> David: THAT IS ROSE MARIE BARTON. NOW MARK CARNEY HAS SUGGESTED HE
00:20:03IS IN NO RUSH TO MAKE A TRADE DEAL, PERHAPS EVEN WAITING FOR
00:20:06TRUMP TO LEAVE OFFICE IN TWO YEARS. THE FORMER CANADIAN AMBASSADOR
00:20:10TO THE U.S. KRISTIN HILLMAN ALSO
00:20:12SEES AN OPPORTUNITY TO MOVE FAST.
00:20:15>> I THINK THIS IS NOT A MOMENT TO MOVE QUICKLY.
00:20:18I THINK THIS IS A TIME TO
00:20:21OBSERVE, ONE, WHAT THE NEW
00:20:23CONGRESS IS SAYING, WHAT THEY'RE DOING.
00:20:25ARE THEY TABLING LEGISLATION WITHIN A HUNDRED HOURS? WHAT DOES THAT SAY?
00:20:29WHAT IS THIS TARIFF LEGISLATION.
00:20:32THERE WILL BE DEVILS IN THE DETAILS BUT TO UNDERSTAND THAT,
00:20:36WILL THERE BE INVESTIGATIONS ON TARIFFS?
00:20:38THAT'S AN INTERESTING IDEA.
00:20:41AND SEE HOW THAT PERK LATE FOR A WHILE.
00:20:43THAT BEING SAID, AS I SAID A MINUTE AGO OR EARLIER, IF
00:20:47THEY'RE HAVING CONSTRUCTIVE
00:20:48CONVERSATIONS THAT ARE HEADING TOWARDS SOME KIND OF ARRANGEMENT
00:20:52THAT WILL WORK FOR CANADA, WE
00:20:54WOULDN'T WANT THEM TO STOP THAT. >> UH-HUH. DON'T MESS WITH IT.
00:20:58>> WELL, I MEAN, LOOK, IN
00:21:02DIPLOMACY AS A NEGOTIATION, YOU NEVER STOP TALKING.
00:21:04IF YOU CAN BE TALKING YOU'RE DOING BETTER THAN NOT TALKING, RIGHT?
00:21:08SO IF THERE ARE OPEN LINES OF COMMUNICATION THAT'S HELPING US
00:21:10GET CLOSER AND CLOSER, THAT IS A GOOD THING.
00:21:13>> David: ALL RIGHT. THAT IS KRISTIN HILLMAN.
00:21:16WE ARE LIVE IN MICHIGAN ALSO TAKING A LOOK AT CONGRESS THIS
00:21:20MORNING, THE DEMOCRATS WINNING CONTROL SECURING AT LEAST 228
00:21:23SEATS IN THE HOUSE, 68 STILL NEED TO BE CALLED AND THERE ARE
00:21:26TWO SENATE RACES THAT REMAIN TOSSUPS.
00:21:28THEY ARE ALASKA AND MISSISSIPPI. WE'LL BE WATCHING TO SEE IF
00:21:32THERE ARE ANY OTHER MOVEMENT ON RESULTS, QUITE LIKELY OVER THE
00:21:35COURSE OF THE MORNING. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR DONALD TRUMP? ONE OF THE KEY QUESTIONS FOR US.
00:21:39WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR CANADA, WE WILL BE EXPLORING THAT AHEAD HOR
00:21:43ON CBC MORNING LIVE FROM DETROIT. ♪
00:21:48>> Annou
00:23:37>> GOOD EARLY MORNING FROM DETROIT.
00:23:40THE BLUE WAVE EXTENDS TO MANYING
00:23:42OHIO WHICH HAS ELECTED ITS FIRST EVER WOMAN GOVERNOR.
00:23:46DEMOCRAT AMY ACTON BEATING OUT
00:23:48TRUMP ALLY VIVEK RAMASWAMY.
00:23:52THERE WERE ATTACK ADS FEATURING
00:23:54HER MOM CALLING HER A LIAR EVEN AFTER SHE WAS REMOVED FROM HER
00:23:58HOME AFTER HER STEPFATHER SEXUALLY ASSAULTED HER.
00:24:0116 YEARS OF REPUBLICAN CONTROL IN OHIO.
00:24:04IT HAS ALSO ELECTED MANY OTHERS
00:24:07OVER THE COURSE OF WHAT WAS A
00:24:09VERY BITTER CONTEST.
00:24:11LET'S TURN NOW TO AMY ACTON.
00:24:14>> THIS ENTIRE CAMPAIGN HAS BEEN
00:24:17A MOVEMENT BY AND FOR THE
00:24:23PEOPLE.
00:24:24THIS WIN IS FOR EVERY OHIOIAN
00:24:28WHO HAS LONGED FOR PUBLIC
00:24:31SERVICE AGAIN.
00:24:37WHO SOLVES PROBLEMS INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM.
00:24:41AND WHO DO NOT MISTAKE KINDNESS
00:24:44FOR WEAKNESS.
00:24:49. >> David: TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF
00:24:52SOME THE BONKERS AMOUNTS OF
00:24:53MONEY THAT WERE SPENT,
00:24:56$12 BILLION ON THIS U.S. CAMPAIGN.
00:25:00KATIE NICHOLSON TELLS US HOW THE
00:25:02DEMOCRATS WERE ABLE TO FLIP
00:25:04OHIO, THAT ONCE RELIABLE STATE.
00:25:06>> THE BIG QUESTION FOR OHIO
00:25:08WAS, WOULD REPUBLICANS BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN THAT BIG RED WALL
00:25:12THAT HAD SERVED THEM SO WELL FOR ROUGHLY A DECADE IN THIS STATE.
00:25:16THINK ABOUT IT.
00:25:17THEY HAD THE PRESIDENT AND THE
00:25:20VICE-PRESIDENT COME BETWEEN THEM SIX TIMES IN THE TWO MONTHS LEAD
00:25:24UP TO THE MID TERMS TO TRY AND SHORE UP THE REPUBLICAN TICKET
00:25:27BUT THAT WAS NOT ENOUGH.
00:25:29TWO KEY RACES THAT TOPPLED THE REPUBLICANS.
00:25:32FIRST OF ALL, THE GOVERNOR'S RACE.
00:25:35AMY ACTON NOW SHE IS THE FIRST
00:25:38WOMAN GOVERNOR AND, AS A
00:25:40DEMOCRAT, SHE BEAT OUT VIVEK
00:25:42RAMASWAMY IN WHAT RAMASWAMY
00:25:45CONCEDED WAS A BITTER FIGHT.
00:25:47AND THEN, OF COURSE, THAT KEY
00:25:49SENATE SEAT, ONE OF SEVERAL KEY SENATE SEATS THAT HANDED
00:25:53DEMOCRATS THE MAJORITY IN THE
00:25:56SENATE BETWEEN JOHN HUES TED AND SHARROD BROWN.
00:25:59HUES TED, OF COURSE, VAUNTED BY
00:26:03TRUMP. TRUMP REALLY WAS TAKING WITH HIS POSITIVES TEAR I DON'T REMEMBER
00:26:06MADE A NUMBER OF COMMENTS ABOUT THAT IN OTHER STATES WHILE HE WAS CAMPAIGNING.
00:26:10DESPITE ALL OF THAT, IT WAS THE
00:26:12DEMOCRATS' NIGHT IN THIS STATE.
00:26:15DEMOCRATS NOW PLEDGING TO MOVE
00:26:17FORWARD, TO MAKE CHANGES HERE IN
00:26:20THIS STATE AND NATIONALLY. WHILE REPUBLICANS SAY THEY'VE
00:26:23GOT A LOT TO THINK ABOUT, SOUL SEARCHING AND OHIO REPUBLICANS
00:26:27SAYING THAT THEY WILL HOLD THIS
00:26:29NEW DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY ACCOUNTABLE.
00:26:33KATIE NICHOLSON, CBC NEWS, COLUMBUS, OHIO.
00:26:37>> David: TEXAS IS SO SYMBOLIC OF WHAT HAPPENED NATIONALLY.
00:26:40DEMOCRAT JAMES TALARICO BECOMING THE FIRST DEMOCRAT IN MORE THAN
00:26:43A GENERATION NOW BOUND FROM TEXAS FOR THE SENATE.
00:26:47KATIE NICHOLSON ACTUALLY CAUGHT UP WITH A TEXAS BUSINESS OWNER
00:26:50WHO'S BEEN AFFECTED BY THE
00:26:51CANADA U.S. TRADE WAR AND SEES A

00:26:58BUSINESS, WE'RE INTERIOR DESIGNERS AND ONE OF OUR VEND
00:27:01NORSE CANADA BUILT TABLE BASES FOR US AND THE TARIFF ON IT WAS
00:27:04SO HIGH THAT, I MEAN, IT WAS ALMOST LIKE THREE TIMES OR FOUR
00:27:07TIMES I THINK THE COST OF THE PRODUCT ALONE AT WHOLESALE COST,
00:27:11LIKE NOT EVEN WITHOUT US MAKING MONEY. IT WAS INSANE.
00:27:14SO WE HAD TO FIND A DIFFERENT
00:27:16VENDOR BECAUSE WE COULD NOT FORD TO SELL A DIFFERENT PRODUCT
00:27:20ANYMORE. >> DID YOU HAVE TO CUT YOUR TIES WITH THE CANADIAN COMPANY AGAIN.
00:27:23>> WE DID BROKEN HEARTEDLY. THEY WERE A WONDERFUL VENDOR
00:27:26THAT WE LOVED AND WE COULDN'T USE THEM BECAUSE WE COULDN'T MAKE IT WORK.
00:27:30>> DO YOU WANT TO SEE CHANGE WHEN IT COMES TO TARIFFS? >> YES, TARIFFS ARE RIDICULOUS
00:27:34AND ALL WE DO IS WE -- LIKE WHEN WE ARE CHARGED THE TARIFFS WE
00:27:38PASS THAT ALONG TO THE CUSTOMER
00:27:39AND THEN THEY'RE PEAKING IT SO
00:27:42EVERYBODY IS PAYING ASTRONOMICAL PRICES. WE CAN'T AFFORD ANYTHING AS IT
00:27:46IS SO IT'S NOT WORKING FOR ANYONE EXCEPT PEOPLE WHO MAKE WAY TOO MUCH MONEY AND BENEFIT
00:27:50FROM THAT. IT'S NOT US. >> Reporter: SO ALL OF THE PROJECTIONS TONIGHT ARE THE
00:27:54DEMOCRATS ARE TAKING CONTROL OF THE HOUSE AND TAKING CONTROL OF THE SENATE.
00:27:56WHAT DID YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT THAT SAYS ABOUT THIS MOMENT IN
00:28:01AMERICAN POLITICS. >> IT'S SHOWING WHO WE ARE AS AMERICANS, WHAT WE REALLY CARE
00:28:04ABOUT AND THAT-ARE NOT MAGA, WE ARE NOT TRUMP'S AMERICA.
00:28:08THE THINGS WE CARE ABOUT ARE
00:28:10PEOPLE AND RELATIONSHIPS WITH PEOPLE AND OUR RIGHTS AND LIKE
00:28:13THE HEALTHCARE IS A BIG ONE. PEOPLE ARE UPSET AND THEY'RE
00:28:16SHOWING IT'S TIME FOR CHANGE.
00:28:17WE'VE BEEN BAITING FOR THIS.

00:28:39CONTROL OF THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE. WE'RE LOOKING AT HER VICTORY.
00:28:42WE'RE LOOKING AT THE ENTIRE BLUE
00:28:45WAVE, THE REPUDIATION OF DONALD TRUMP. WHAT ALL THIS MEANS FOR CANADA
00:28:49ON A TRADE DEAL AND SO MUCH MORE.
00:28:52OUR FOCUS ON CBC MORNING LIVE. ♪
00:28:57>> You're
00:31:45♪ >> WE'RE LIVE IN MICHIGAN THIS MORNING AFTER PRESIDENT TRUMP
00:31:48AND HIS REPUBLICANS FACED A BLISTERING DEFEAT IN THE
00:31:52MIDTERMS, GENERATIONAL LEVEL LOSSES.
00:31:54JUST HOW BAD IS IT IN THE HISTORY BOOKS?
00:31:57MIKE CRAWLEY GIVING US CONTEXT. >> I WANT TO PUT SOME HISTORICAL
00:32:01CONTEXT ON JUST HOW RARE THIS MIDTERM RESULT IS IN THE U.S.
00:32:04DONALD TRUMP HAS JUST BECOME ONLY THE THIRD U.S. PRESIDENT TO
00:32:08DEBRIS SIDE OVER HIS PARTY LOSING BOTH THE HOUSE AND THE
00:32:12SENATE AT A MIDTERM ELECTION.
00:32:13THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED BEFORE
00:32:16THIS WAS 2006 IN A SCENARIO THAT
00:32:19HAS SOME SIGNIFICANT ECHOES OF WHAT JUST HAPPENED.
00:32:22THAT WAS WHEN THE REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH LOST
00:32:26BOTH THE HOUSE AND THE SENATE AT THE MIDTERM WHEN HE WAS IN THE
00:32:30MIDDLE OF PURSUING AN INCREDIBLY UNPOPULAR WAR IN THE MIDDLE
00:32:34EAST. THAT ONE WAS AGAINST IRAQ.
00:32:37BEFORE THAT IT WAS BILL CLINTON,
00:32:411994, AND CLINTON'S DEMOCRATS
00:32:42LOST BOTH THE HOUSE AND THE
00:32:45SENATE IN THAT MIDTERM IN LARGE
00:32:48PART BECAUSE CLINTON'S ATTEMPTS AT REFORMING THE HEALTH INSURANCE SYSTEM HERE IN THE
00:32:51U.S. WERE REALLY, REALLY UNPOPULAR.
00:32:55BEFORE THAT YOU'VE GOT TO GO ALL
00:32:58THE WAY BACK TO 1946 AND HARRY S TRUMAN TO FIND THE PREVIOUS TIME
00:33:02WHEN A SITTING U.S. PRESIDENT
00:33:06PRESIDED OVER SUCH A DISASTROUS LOSS OVER THE HOUSE AND THE
00:33:09SENATE IN THE MIDTERMS. >> David: THAT IS OUR MIKE CRAWLEY REPORTING.
00:33:12FOR AMERICANS, THE MIDTERM RESULTS REPRESENT A MAJOR SHIFT.
00:33:15WHAT DOES THAT SHIFT MEAN FOR CANADA?
00:33:17WELL, THAT'S WHERE WE'LL AGAIN
00:33:20OUR CHAT WITHDREW FAGAN FOR THE SCHOOL OF GLOBAL AFFAIRS AND
00:33:23PUBLIC POLICY. LET ME GET STRAIGHT INTO IT WITH YOU.
00:33:27DONALD TRUMP, HIS DOMESTIC AGENDA YOU COULD ARGUE GOES AWAY
00:33:29FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS. DOES HIS FOCUS BECOME FOREIGN
00:33:32AND WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR CANADA? >> Reporter: HIS FOCUS,
00:33:36PRESIDENTS ALWAYS TRY TO FOCUS ON FOREIGN POLICY WHEN THEY HAVE
00:33:40PROBLEMS AT HOME. BUT I THINK THE DEMOCRATIC ROUTE
00:33:43AND THE POWER OF THEIR CONTROL
00:33:44OF THE SENATE AND THE HOUSE, AND
00:33:48THE CONTROVERSY OVER HIS FOREIGN
00:33:51POLICY AND THE IMPACT ON THE
00:33:53ECONOMY, AND I'M THINKING FIRST
00:33:55THE WAR IN IRAN AND GAS PRICES.
00:33:57AND SO THERE WILL BE SOME SORT
00:34:01OF RESOLUTION ON KCAPITOL HILL
00:34:07REGARD TO SO CALLED WAR POWERS AND THE DEMAND OF THE NEW
00:34:09CONGRESS TO TAKE CONTROL OR SOME
00:34:12DEGREE OF RESPONSIBILITY OVER A
00:34:14POLICY THAT HAS, YOU KNOW, BEEN
00:34:18DEEPLY DAMAGING TO THE UNITED STATES IN TERMS OF ITS GLOBAL
00:34:22AUTHORITY AND IN TERMS OF THE DOMESTIC ECONOMY.
00:34:24THAT TAKES US TO TARIFFS.
00:34:26AND, YOU KNOW, TRADITIONALLY,
00:34:29CONGRESS -- WELL, UNDER THE CONSTITUTION, CONGRESS IS
00:34:32RESPONSIBLE FOR TAXES AND
00:34:35TARIFFS ARE JUST TAXES AND TRUMP
00:34:38THAT RESPONSIBILITY WITH HIS INTERNATIONAL, HIS GLOBAL TARIFF
00:34:42POLICY WHICH APPLIED FUNDAMENTALLY TO CANADA.
00:34:45THE CHALLENGE ON THAT SIDE, WITH
00:34:49REGARD TO CONGRESS, THE DEMOCRATS ARE A BIG TENT, THOSE
00:34:52WHO HAVE BEEN ELECTED, YOU KNOW,
00:34:54SORT OF CENTRISTS FROM THE CENTRE OF THE COUNTRY, DEMOCRATIC, SOCIALISTS AS WELL.
00:34:58BUT THE DEMOCRATS TRADITIONALLY I THINK IN THIS CASE, TOO, ARE
00:35:02MORE PROTECTIONIST THAN REPUBLICANS. SO WHAT YOU MAY GET IS SOME
00:35:06DEGREE OF PROTECTION OF SENTIMENT, EVEN DEEP CONCERN
00:35:09OVER THE KIND OF PROTECTIONISM,
00:35:13THE RATIONALITY IF YOU'D LIKE THAT TRUMP TRIED TO IMPOSE.
00:35:17SO IN THE SECOND LEVEL TARIFFS AS OPPOSED TO IRAN IS GOING TO
00:35:20BE A LITTLE MORE COMPLICATED AND WE'LL SEE IT PLAY OUT IN THE WEEKS TO COME.
00:35:24>> David: DREW, I WANT TO CHALLENGE YOU A BIT ON THE
00:35:27TARIFFS BECAUSE THESE WERE
00:35:30IMPLEMENTED ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY
00:35:33THROUGH EXECUTIVE ORDERS USING A CENTURY-PLUS OLD LAW IN MANY CASES.
00:35:37>> YEAH. >> David: WHAT CAN THE DEMOCRATS PRACTICALLY DO IF THEY WANTED TO
00:35:40REMOVE SOME OF THOSE TARIFFS,
00:35:43PARTICULARLY AGAINST CANADA?
00:35:48>> SO THERE'S LIMIT -- ONE, THEY
00:35:51MAY NOT WANT TO DO THAT MUCH, GIVEN THAT -- AND YOU'VE SEEN
00:35:55THIS WITH SAY POLICY TOWARDS CHINA UNDER BIDEN IN WHICH THEY
00:35:58DIDN'T TAKE BACK A LOT OF THE
00:36:04ACTIONS THAT WERE TAKEN. THIS MAY TAKE PLACE HERE.
00:36:07THE FUNDAMENTAL LEVER THAT TRUMP USED WAS THE NATIONAL SECURITY
00:36:10LEVER WHICH IS, YOU KNOW, STRETCHING THINGS QUITE A BIT
00:36:13WHEN IT COULD COMES TO CANADA.
00:36:17LET'S FACE IT.
00:36:20BUT I THINK THE FACT THAT THAT EXISTS AND CONTINUES TO EXIST
00:36:23UNDER FREE TRADE WAS A WEAKNESS
00:36:25OF THE AGREEMENT THAT NO
00:36:28PRESIDENT WENT TO AND HE IS.
00:36:29MY MEANING IS, THE PRESIDENTS
00:36:32CAN INVOKE A POWER FROM 1962, IT
00:36:35WAS DONE BY KENNEDY IN THE FIRST INSTANCE, TO SORT OF TAKE
00:36:39GREATER CONTROL OVER BORDER MEASURES.
00:36:41AND THAT'S WHAT HE'S USED MOST
00:36:46SUCCESSFULLY. THAT WILL PROBABLY, YOU KNOW,
00:36:48SORT OF STAND THE TEST OF ANY CONSTITUTIONAL.
00:36:52SO THERE'S LIMITED IMPACT. TRUMP, HOWEVER, DOES SAY, DID
00:36:56SAY LAST NIGHT -- I'M GOING TO WORK WITH THE DEMOCRATS.
00:36:59HE ALSO SAID THE MIDTERMS WEREN'T HIS RESPONSIBILITY BUT
00:37:02HE SAIDLE' WORK WITH THE MIDTERMS. SO WHETHER THERE'S A DIRECT
00:37:06EFFECT OR NOT WE'LL HAVE TO SEE IN THE TIME TO COME.
00:37:09MEANWHILE WE'RE BACK TO TABLE, AND AS EARLY AS LAST NIGHT,
00:37:12PRIME MINISTER SAID, YOU KNOW,
00:37:14THEY'RE OFFERING MORE AND
00:37:17EXPECTING LESS OUT OF US, THAT IS THE WHITE HOUSE.
00:37:19SO WE'LL SEE WHERE THAT GOES.
00:37:22THIS IS A P REPUDIATION OF THE
00:37:28PRESIDENT AND HIS GLOBAL POLICIES INCLUDING TO SOME EXTENT TARIFFS.
00:37:31>> David: DREW, I WANT TO TALK NOT JUST ABOUT WHAT WE HAVE
00:37:34SEEN, BUT WHAT WE DID NOT SEE.
00:37:38THERE HAD BEEN A LOT OF CONCERNS THAT IMMIGRATION AGENTS ICE
00:37:41WOULD SHOW UP AT POLLING STATIONS AS AN INTIMIDATION
00:37:44TACTICS THAT PERHAPS ARMED FEDERAL FORCES WOULD BE AT THOSE
00:37:47VOTING STATIONS AMID MANY TRUMP SUPPORTER CLAIMS THAT THERE WAS
00:37:51ABOUT TO BE MASSIVE FRAUD.
00:37:53NO EVIDENCE THERE WAS FRAUD BUT
00:37:56ALSO NO PEOPLE EN MASSE WITH GUNS AT ANY OF THOSE VOTING
00:38:00STATIONS. AND I WONDER, YOU KNOW, WHAT
00:38:03DOES THAT SAY ABOUT THE STATE OF AMERICA TODAY.
00:38:07THERE HAD BEEN THESE FEARS THAT DID NOT COME TO FRUITION.
00:38:09I SAY THIS ALL BEFORE, ALL THE
00:38:13INEVITABLE COURT CHALLENGES BEGIN, OF COURSE. >> YEAH.
00:38:14AND OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF
00:38:19YEARS, WHAT YOU'VE SEEN, AND
00:38:22ACADEMIC STUDIES SHOW THIS. THE VAST MAJORITY OF CANDIDATES,
00:38:26IN LOCAL RACES, IN MUNICIPAL
00:38:31RACES, IN STATE RACES, FEDERAL RACES, ACCEPTED THE RESULTS.
00:38:35AND, YOU KNOW, THERE WAS A LINE THAT'S GONE AROUND FROM BOTH PARTIES IN THE LAST, YOU KNOW,
00:38:39LITTLE WHILE.
00:38:42TOO BIG TO RIG.
00:38:45WHICH IS TO SAY THIS IS A ROUTE YOU CAN HARDLY FIGHT AGAINST THAT.
00:38:49THERE WAS NO ARGUMENT IN 2000 EITHER.
00:38:50BUT, YOU KNOW, THE FEVER I THINK
00:38:54IS LIFTING AND ACTUALLY YESTERDAY PLAYED OUT THE WAY YOU
00:38:57THINK AMERICAN ELECTIONS WILL PLAY OUT, WHICH IS TO SAY THE
00:39:01RULES VARY EVERYWHERE, WHICH IS
00:39:03WEIRD FOR US.
00:39:0650 DIFFERENT SETS OF RULES, BUT
00:39:10IT'S PLAYED OUT NICELY.
00:39:11HOWEVER, YOU KNOW, FOR COUNTRIES
00:39:15LIKE CANADA, OTHER COUNTRIES IN THE WEST AND ELSEWHERE, LET'S
00:39:18FACE IT THIS WAS NOT A NORMAL ELECTION BECAUSE THIS WAS NOT A
00:39:21NORMAL REPUBLICAN PARTY AND IF IT CAN HAPPEN ONCE IT CAN HAPPEN AGAIN.
00:39:24AND TO YOUR POINT, DAVID, THE PRESIDENT STILL HAS TWO YEARS IN OFFICE.
00:39:27THE DEMOCRATS HAVE TO PROVE THAT
00:39:31THEY CAN DELIVER ON THE STUFF TRUMP DIDN'T DELIVER ON.
00:39:34I THINK THE SENATE -- THE
00:39:38WINNING SENATE CANDIDATE IN TEXAS HAD IT RIGHT.
00:39:42THIS WASN'T ABOUT LEFT AND RIGHT IS WHAT HE SAID, IT WAS ABOUT
00:39:44TOP AND BOTTOM. THIS WAS ABOUT ECONOMIC POPULISM
00:39:48AND THE FACT THAT TRUMP PROMISED
00:39:51RELIEF FOR AVERAGE PEOPLE AND HE DIDN'T DELIVER.
00:39:54AND ON TOP OF THAT, HE WAS
00:40:00HARDLY A IN THE SMALL D DEMOCRATIC VAIN.
00:40:03>> David: LAST QUESTION TO YOU, DREW.
00:40:07REALLY HAS TO DO WITH THE STATE OF AMERICA, IF YOU WILL.
00:40:10I THINK THERE HAD BEEN REAL
00:40:11QUESTIONS ABOUT WHETHER WE WOULD
00:40:14EVER SEE A PEACEFUL TRANSITION OF POWER AGAIN.
00:40:17TRUMP IS SAYING THAT HE ACCEPTS THESE RESULTS.
00:40:20HE'S ALSO PUTTING OUT A PICTURE OF A VETO HAT WHICH IS IN MANY
00:40:24WAYS TO BE EXPECTED WHEN YOU
00:40:25HAVE THIS KIND OF SCENARIO.
00:40:28NONETHELESS, WHAT DO YOU THINK WE HAVE LEARNED OVERNIGHT SEEING
00:40:32THESE RESULTS ABOUT THE STATE OF
00:40:35THE UNITED STATES TODAY?
00:40:39>> Reporter: SO, YOU KNOW, TO ME IT'S THE OLD LINE ABOUT WHETHER
00:40:42THE LINE IS HALF EMPTY OR HALF
00:40:44FULL.
00:40:46THE FACT IT WAS TEN YEARS AGO ALMOST TO THE DAY HE GOT ELECTEDMENT I THINK EVERYBODY
00:40:50CAN THINK BACK TO THE SHOCK OF THAT AND THE MOMENT THAT THEY
00:40:53REALIZED THAT THIS GUY WAS GOING TO BE PRESIDENT. TEN YEARS.
00:40:57IT TOOK TEN YEARS TO RIGHT THE SHIP A LITTLE BIT.
00:41:00IF IT CAN TAKE THAT LONG WITH THAT MANY CHALLENGES AND THAT
00:41:02MUCH DAMAGE, THINK ABOUT THE
00:41:07DAMAGE TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
00:41:10THINGS LIKE FOREIGN AID FOREIGN POLICY, THE PEOPLE WHO WORK IN GOVERNMENT.
00:41:13YOU KNOW IT CAN HAPPEN AGAIN.
00:41:20TRUMP IS EXTRAORDINARY IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES
00:41:23FROM WHERE HE CAME FROM AND WHERE HE ACTED.
00:41:26BUT EVEN IF THE STATE DIDN'T BREAK, THE FUNCTIONS OF STATE
00:41:29DIDN'T BREAK, THEY WERE SEVERELY
00:41:33SHAKEN
00:41:35>> David: DREW FAGAN, VERY MUCH APPRECIATE IT.
00:41:38THANKS VERY MUCH. >> Reporter: THANKS DAVID. >> David: WHAT HAS BROKEN OVER THE COURSE OF THE NIGHT, THE
00:41:42DEMOCRATS HAVE CONTROL OF THE HOUSE AND THE NEXT SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
00:41:46QUITE LIKELY TO BE NEW YORK'S
00:41:50HAKEEM JEFFRIES. >> TODAY BEGINS THE GREAT
00:41:54AMERICAN COMEBACK!
00:41:56FROM SEA TO SHINING SEA, THE
00:42:00AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN AND
00:42:03MADE CLEAR THEY'VE HAD ENOUGH OF
00:42:07THE EXTREMISM, ENOUGH OF THE CORRUPTION.
00:42:09THEY WANT A CONGRESS THAT'S
00:42:11GOING TO DELIVER FOR THE
00:42:15AMERICAN PEOPLE AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HOUSE DEMOCRATS
00:42:19WILL DO AS SOON AS WE GET INTO
00:42:23OFFICE IN JANUARY.
00:42:23[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
00:42:27>> David: IF JEFFERY'S IS ELECTED BY HIS COLLEAGUES AS
00:42:30EXPECTED TO THAT SPEAKER JOB WILL BE THE FIRST BLACK SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE.
00:42:34A LOT MORE NOT JUST ON THE RESULTS BUT WHAT IT ALL MEAN MEANS FOR CANADA AND CERTAINLY
00:42:38WHAT IT MEANS FOR DONALD TRUMP AND THE WORLD, ALL JUST AHEAD HERE ON CBC MORNING LIVE. ♪
00:45:53♪ >> David: HERE'S A BIG POINT OF
00:45:55FRICTION BETWEEN TRUMP'S
00:45:58REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS. RUSSIA, THE WHITE HOUSE SEES IT
00:46:01AS A FRIEND, THE DEMS DO NOT. UKRAINE IS ALMOST AN ADVERSARY
00:46:05AT THIS POINT, THE DEMS SEE IT TOTALLY THE OTHER WAY.
00:46:08THEN THERE IS IRAN, AND THAT IS AN INTERESTING QUESTION BECAUSE
00:46:11WE'RE ALREADY HEARING FROM THE
00:46:12SUPREME LEADER OF THAT COUNTRY
00:46:16OUT SAYING AMERICA HEGEMONY IS
00:46:19ON ITS WAY OUT IN THE AFTERMATH OF THAT.
00:46:22FAIRLY DIFFICULT LANGUAGE FOR THEM COMING OUT. LET'S TURN TO CRYSTAL IN THE
00:46:25MIDDLE EAST FOR US, AND CRYSTAL,
00:46:28THERE HAD BEEN THIS THOUGHT THAT
00:46:31MAJOR ATTACKS AGAINST IRAN WERE
00:46:32SORT OF PAUSED IN THE LEAD-UP TO
00:46:35THE MIDTERMS BECAUSE OF HOW UNPOPULAR THE WAR IS.
00:46:38WHAT HAPPENS NOW? >> IT'S A GREAT QUESTION AND ONE
00:46:42LEADERS RIGHT ACROSS THE MIDDLE EAST ARE ASKING THEMSELVES TODAY.
00:46:45AND A BIG PART OF THIS, DAVID, IS THE FACT THAT U.S. PRESIDENT
00:46:49DONALD TRUMP IS AN UNPREDICTABLE LEADER.
00:46:52HE IS OSCILLATED BETWEEN SAYING
00:46:54HE'S IN NO RUSH TO RESTATE A BOMBING CAMPAIGN AGAINST IRAN
00:46:58BUT ALSO SAID HE WOULDN'T RESTART THOSE ATTACKS THIS WEEK.
00:47:01SO THERE IS A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY
00:47:04ACROSS IRAN.
00:47:06YOU SEE MORE MURALS POPPING UP, IMAGES OF U.S. PRESIDENT DONALD
00:47:10TRUMP, IMAGES OF ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU.
00:47:13NOW, WHEN IT COMES TO NETANYAHU, THIS COULD BENEFIT HIM IF THERE
00:47:17IS A RESTART OF THIS CAMPAIGN.
00:47:20HE IS FIGHTING FOR HIS POLITICAL
00:47:23SURVIVAL, AND IF THERE IS AN EMERGENCY SITUATION, IT COULD
00:47:26FORCE HIS MAIN OPPONENT TO JOIN
00:47:28WITH HIM IN A UNITY GOVERNMENT
00:47:31AND THEN MOVE FORWARD WITH ANY POTENTIAL STRIKES OR RESPOND TO
00:47:34ANY THREATS ON ISRAEL. THEN, OF COURSE, THERE IS THE
00:47:38FACT THAT AMERICANS SEE THIS WAR
00:47:40AS VERY UNPOPULAR, AND HE HAS
00:47:43ADMITTED, BOTH IN AN INTERVIEW WITH THE WALL STREET JOURNAL SAYING THAT IT DID HAVE AN
00:47:47IMPACT ON REPUBLICANS IN THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS AND HE ALSO
00:47:51SAID A SIMILAR THING TO FOX NEWS.
00:47:53BUT HE ALSO SAYS HE DOESN'T
00:47:55REGRET THE CAMPAIGN AGAINST IRAN.
00:47:58>> PART OF IT WAS IRAN, BUT AT THE SAME TIME PEOPLE UNDERSTOOD
00:48:01THE IMPORTANCE OF WHAT I'VE DONE WITH IRAN. I THINK HISTORICALLY IT'S GOING
00:48:05TO BE MUCH MORE IMPORTANT THAN THIS EVENING.
00:48:08BECAUSE YOU CAN'T LET THE NUMBER ONE STATE SPONSOR OF TERROR HAVE
00:48:12A NUCLEAR WEAPON. IT'S THE MOST DANGEROUS COUNTRY
00:48:14IN THE WORLD AND WE WIPED THEM
00:48:18OUT PRACTICALLY. >> NOW, AGAIN, IN THAT
00:48:22INTERVIEW, HE DIDN'T SAY WHETHER OR NOT HE WOULD RESTART IT, JUST
00:48:26AGAIN TALKED ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF THE MILITARY
00:48:30OPERATION. AND, OF COURSE, THERE IS THE
00:48:31FACT THERE IS A HUGE ARSENAL OF
00:48:34MILITARY ASSETS IN THE MIDDLE EAST.
00:48:36WE'RE TALKING ABOUT AIRCRAFT CARRIERS.
00:48:39WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WAR PLAINS
00:48:42AND BOMBER JETS AND WE HAVE ALSO
00:48:45HEARD FROM IRAN'S PARLIAMENTARY
00:48:47SPEAKER AND THEIR CHIEF
00:48:51NEGOTIATOR, HE IS SAYING ON SOCIAL MEDIA THAT AMERICANS HAVE
00:48:54SAID NO TO WAR AND THAT IRAN
00:48:57ENDORSES THIS MESSAGE AND HE ALSO SAYS THAT IF THEY CHANGE
00:49:01THEIR MIND, IRAN'S NO COMES WITH
00:49:04A NIGHTMARE. SO A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY, A LOT
00:49:07OF QUESTIONS, AND NO CLEAR
00:49:09INDICATION IF OR WHEN WE COULD
00:49:11SEE ATTACKS RESUME, DAVID.
