00:00:00WHEN IT'S COMPLETED, WILL BE ONE OF THE GREAT BUILDINGS IN
00:00:03WASHINGTON, D.C., AND THEY'LL UNDERSTAND THAT.
00:00:06MOST PEOPLE UNDERSTAND.
00:00:08THIS WHOLE MAGNIFICENT SPACE WILL BE A VERY IMPORTANT SPACE
00:00:12IN THE FUTURE LIFE OF OUR COUNTRY.
00:00:13SO WIT THAT, I'D LIKE TO HAVE
00:00:22THE SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR, A GREAT MAN, EIGHT YEARS IN
00:00:26NORTH DAKOTA, A VERY SUCCESSFUL
00:00:28BUSINESSMAN, AND HE'S DONE A
00:00:31REALLY GREAT JOB RUNNING THE
00:00:33INTERIOR AND HE'S DONE A GREAT
00:00:38JOB. DOUG BURGUM, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
00:00:41[Applause] >> THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT.
00:00:44TODAY IS A DAY OF CELEBRATION -- >> Andrew: ALL RIGHT.
00:00:47YOU ARE LISTENING TO U.S.
00:00:48PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP MAKING
00:00:53MOST, ALMOST ENTIRE TEN
00:00:55MINUTES, ABOUT THE BALLROOM THAT'S UNDER CONSTRUCTION.
00:00:59SOME WOULD SAY ODD AND STUNNING THAT THAT'S WHAT HE WOULD BE
00:01:02THINKING ABOUT AND TALKING
00:01:04ABOUT IN THIS MOMENT BUT THAT
00:01:08IS THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
00:01:10STATES AFTER BEING WIPED OUT IN
00:01:14CONGRESS, DONALD TRUMP SPEAKING ABOUT THERE. ERIN COLLINS HAS ALSO BEEN
00:01:17LISTENING INTO ALL OF THIS.
00:01:19ERIN, MAYBE HE WILL TALK A
00:01:22LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT BUT IT IS
00:01:25TO ME A LITTLE BIT REMINISCENT
00:01:28TALKING ABOUT THE REFLECTING POOL THE DAY BEFORE AND FOR HIM
00:01:30TO BE IN THIS BALLROOM THAT'S UNDER CONSTRUCTION TALKING
00:01:33MOSTLY ABOUT THAT, HE DID HAVE A COUPLE OF OTHER POLITICAL
00:01:36THINGS TO SAY, BUT ABSOLUTELY
00:01:42NO KIND OF VERBAL RECOGNITION OF WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT
00:01:44WHICH WAS ARGUABLY A
00:01:52REPUDIATION, A REBUKE, OF HIM AS PRESIDENT.
00:01:54>> Reporter: YEAH, IT'S HARD
00:02:00NOT TO CONNECT THOSE ITEMS, THE REFLECTING POOL BEFORE GETTING
00:02:03HIS PITCH TO VOTERS ON MID TECH
00:02:06EVE AND THEN ON THE -- MID TERM
00:02:09EVE AND THEN THE DAY AFTER A
00:02:12DEVASTATING LOSS, FOR THE PRESIDENT TO BE FOCUSED ON
00:02:15BATHROOM RENOVATIONS AND HIS BALLROOM PROJECT REALLY DOES
00:02:19SPEAK TO THE DISCONNECT ESPECIALLY AS WE'RE HEARING FROM OTHER REPUBLICANS WEIGHING
00:02:23IN FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY BETWEEN THE PRESIDENT AND LARGE
00:02:25PORTIONS OF HIS CAUCUS THAT MAY
00:02:29BE JUST SORT OF CURIOUS ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE
00:02:32PRESIDENT'S THINKING RIGHT NOW.
00:02:35THEY'RE OBVIOUSLY TRYING TO PICK UP THE PIECES AFTER A
00:02:38DEVASTATING LOSS AND MAYBE, JUST MAYBE, THE BALLROOM ISN'T
00:02:41TOP OF MIND FOR THOSE
00:02:43REPUBLICANS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. >> Andrew: OKAY.
00:02:47ERIN, LET'S JUST LOOK AT A GRAPHIC THAT WE'RE GOING TO
00:02:51SHOW OUR VIEWERS. SO THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT.
00:02:54SO RIGHT NOW THE DEMOCRATS HAVE
00:02:57WON OR BEEN ELECTED IN 230 HOUSE SEATS.
00:03:01THEY NEEDED 218 FOR A MAJORITY.
00:03:03AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE GREY
00:03:06THERE THERE'S STILL MANY DOZENS
00:03:09OF SEATS TOO CLOSE TO CALL, 139
00:03:12FOR THE REPUBLICANS. THAT IS STUNNING.
00:03:14AND THEN WE ALSO KNOW IT
00:03:16HAPPENED IN THE SENATE.
00:03:19IT'S 54 SEATS FOR THE DEMOCRATS, 44 FOR THE
00:03:22REPUBLICANS, AND YOU CAN SEE
00:03:26THOSE TWO SENATE SEATS IN GREY
00:03:33STILL TOO CLOSE TO CALL.
00:03:35TELL US MORE, ERIN, ABOUT HOW
00:03:40DEMOCRATS ARE TALKING ABOUT THIS STUNNING VICTORY BUT
00:03:43FIRST, LET'S GO BACK TO DONALD TRUMP. >> President Donald Trump: WE HAD A VERY TALENTED GROUP OF
00:03:47PEOPLE WORK WITH ME FOR THE
00:03:48LAST YEAR AND WE'VE TOTALLY
00:03:51REDONE THE FACADE OF THE WHITE
00:03:53HOUSE IN THE FINEST EXTERIOR PLASTER.
00:03:56THE PLACE WAS FALLING APART. IT WAS CRACKED, IT WAS BROKEN.
00:04:00THE WINDOWS WERE BROKEN AND
00:04:02CRACKED, WE REPLACED NUMEROUS
00:04:05WINDOWS THAT WERE CRACKED AND
00:04:07IN SOME PLACES OUTRIGHT BROKEN.
00:04:10WHEN PRESIDENT XI WAS HERE TWO
00:04:12WEEKS AGO, HE SAID WOW, THE
00:04:15CONDITION IS SO BEAUTIFUL. HE SAID, "I REMEMBER IT WASN'T
00:04:18THAT WAY A LONG TIME AGO."
00:04:22BUT I WILL TELL YOU RIGHT NOW
00:04:22IT'S FLAWLESS AND IT'S
00:04:26BEAUTIFUL. WHEN I GET CRITICIZED, "WHY ARE
00:04:28YOU WORKING ON THE WHITE HOUSE?"
00:04:31I'M DOING IT BECAUSE THE WHITE
00:04:35HOUSE IS SYMBOLIC OF AMERICA.
00:04:39IT'S GOT TO BE PRISTINE AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE DOING THE WORK
00:04:43RIGHT NOW. WE'D TAKE FIBERGLASS MOULDS OF
00:04:46THE OTHER SIDES OF THE MOULDING
00:04:47THAT WAS BROKEN BECAUSE THEY'RE
00:04:50VERY INTRICATE AND THEY'D TAKE
00:04:54IT BACK TO SHOPS AND REMAKE IT.
00:04:58YOU'D HAVE SHOPS WITH ONE-THIRD
00:05:01OF A MOULDING LEFT AND IT DIDN'T LOOK GOOD.
00:05:03WE DID THAT, AND I'M JUST
00:05:06LOOKING HERE AT THAT BEAUTIFUL FACADE HOW IT'S GLEAMING, AND
00:05:09THEN WE RECAULKED IT, REPAINTED
00:05:12IT, AND IT'S GOOD FOR ANOTHER 200 YEARS NOW.
00:05:15YOU KNOW, IT OPENED IN 1792 AND
00:05:19IT WAS IN TERRIBLE EMBARRASSING
00:05:22SHAPE, INCLUDING THE ENTRANCES. YOU'D WALK IN, THERE WERE BROKEN STONES, THERE WERE
00:05:26STONES WITH BIG HOLES IN THEM. IT WAS TERRIBLE.
00:05:29SO THAT'S WHY I DID IT BECAUSE IT'S THE ULTIMATE SYMBOL,
00:05:33SYMBOL OF OUR COUNTRY, AND THIS WILL BE PART OF OUR SYMBOL.
00:05:37IT WILL BE SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL, SO WE'RE PUTTING UP
00:05:40THE LAST PIECE OF STEEL. I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE
00:05:43APPROPRIATE TO HAVE THE MEDIA HERE.
00:05:44GOOD TO SEE SOMETHING REALLY GREAT. THANK YOU ALL.
00:05:48I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL. GREAT JOB YOU'VE DONE, YOU ALL,
00:05:52AND WE'LL SEE YOU AT THE
00:05:55OFFICIAL OPENING IN NOT TOO LONG A PERIOD OF TIME. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, EVERYBODY.
00:05:59[Applause]
00:06:13>> Andrew: ALL RIGHT. AGAIN, THIS IS DONALD TRUMP.
00:06:17I GUESS HE'S SIGNING A BEAM OR
00:06:20SOMETHING IN THE BALLROOM THAT
00:06:21HE'S DECIDED TO BUILD, SIGNING HIS NAME.
00:06:25ERIN COLLINS IS WATCHING ALONG WITH ME. THIS IS STUNNING.
00:06:29IT'S ALMOST AS IF IT'S JUST ANOTHER DAY IN WASHINGTON AND
00:06:32THERE'S THE PRESIDENT JUST
00:06:33DOING SOMETHING HE WOULD DO AS
00:06:39IF NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. ERIN, SOMETHING MAJOR DID HAPPEN LAST NIGHT AND THAT
00:06:43MAJOR THING THAT DID HAPPEN LAST NIGHT IS THAT VOTERS IN
00:06:46THE UNITED STATES SAID NO TO
00:06:48DONALD TRUMP AND A LOT OF HIS
00:06:51POLICIES I THINK IS PRETTY FAIR TO SAY.
00:06:54>> Reporter: YEAH, AN ABSOLUTE REJECTION OF THE PRESIDENT'S
00:06:57AGENDA WHETHER IT'S TARIFFS OR
00:07:00THE WAR IN IRAN, REALLY, VOTERS
00:07:02CAME OUT AND TOLD THE PRESIDENT
00:07:05"WE DON'T LIKE THE DIRECTION YOU'RE TAKING THE COUNTRY," AND
00:07:08HIS PARTY PAID THE PRICE. HE'S TALKING ABOUT PUTTING THE
00:07:11FINAL BEAM INTO THE BALLROOM. YOU COULD MAKE AN ARGUMENT THAT
00:07:14LAST NIGHT WE WATCHED THE FINAL
00:07:18NAIL BEING PUT INTO THE MAGA
00:07:21COALITION THAT THIS PRESIDENT
00:07:23PUT TOGETHER THE LAST DECADE.
00:07:25WE SAW OVERWHELMING THAT
00:07:29DEMOGRAPHIC SHIFT BACK INTO THE
00:07:31DEMOCRAT COLUMN,
00:07:34OVERWHELMINGLY -- >> Andrew: ERIN, I HATE TO
00:07:37INTERRUPT BUT I THINK HE MAY BE SPEAKING TO MEDIA.
00:07:40LET'S LISTEN.
00:07:43>> Andrew: SORRY ABOUT THAT. I THOUGHT THAT I WAS TALKING.
00:07:47ERIN, KEEP GOING. TELL US A LITTLE MORE.
00:07:50>> Reporter: YEAH, IT WAS
00:07:52ABSOLUTELY AN HISTORIC NIGHT.
00:07:55WE'VE HEARD ALL OF THE WORDS:
00:08:03ROUT, TIDAL WAVE, TSUNAMI, WITH
00:08:07DEMOCRATS TAKING CONTROL OF BOTH THE SENATE AND THE HOUSE
00:08:09AND WHAT THAT PARTY DOES WITH
00:08:12THAT POWER WILL BE A BIG QUESTION MOVING FORWARD BUT AS
00:08:15YOU SAID, ANDREW, ABSOLUTELY STUNNING THAT THAT DOESN'T COME
00:08:19UP AS THE PRESIDENT SPEAKS TO REPORTERS FOR THE FIRST TIME.
00:08:22>> Andrew: AND ERIN, TELL US HOW REPUBLICANS ARE RESPONDING
00:08:25TO THIS STUNNING VICTORY.
00:08:27>> Reporter: YEAH, IT'S A REFLECTION POINT, RIGHT?
00:08:30LIKE I SAID, THEY'VE WATCHED
00:08:33THIS SORT OF DISMANTLING OF THE
00:08:37COALITION THAT HAD THEM CONTROL ALL THREE BODIES HERE IN WASHINGTON.
00:08:41WE HEARD FROM RON DESANTIS
00:08:44EARLIER TODAY TALKING ABOUT HOW IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO
00:08:48TAKE YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS FOR THE PARTY TO REBUILD THIS COALITION.
00:08:51THIS IS NOT A ONE-ELECTION
00:08:54CYCLE SITUATION FOR THE PARTY
00:08:55ACCORDING TO MR. DESANTIS.
00:09:00HAVE A LISTEN.
00:09:01>> LAST NIGHT, WE WITNESSED --
00:09:07TO CALL IT A WAVE WOULD BE POLITICALLY ACCURATE.
00:09:11IT WAS THE EQUIVALENT OF A METEOR STRIKE THAT WENT
00:09:14ALL-AROUND THE UNITED STATES BUT LET'S JUST BE CLEAR WHAT
00:09:17HAPPENED LAST NIGHT. THIS IS AS CLOSE TO A
00:09:21[indiscernible] LEVEL EVENT FOR
00:09:24REPUBLICANS IN MANY PARTS OF
00:09:26THE COUNTRY PROBABLY AS WE HAVE
00:09:28SEEN IN THE LAST 100 YEARS.
00:09:31>> Reporter: YOU COULD THINK
00:09:33THAT 100 YEARS COMMENT IS A
00:09:36LITTLE BIT HYPERBOLIC.
00:09:39BUT HE'S NOT FAR OFF. THINK ABOUT KANSAS WHO ELECTED
00:09:42A DEMOCRATIC SENATOR FOR THE
00:09:45FIRST TIME SINCE 1932, ALMOST
00:09:48100 YEARS LAST NIGHT.
00:09:50WE'RE TALKING MULTIPLE ELECTION
00:09:53CYCLES TO GET REPUBLICANS BACK
00:09:55IN THE GAME ACCORDING TO
00:09:58REPUBLICANS LIKE MR. DESANTIS. >> Andrew: SO FAR, SO MUCH OF
00:10:02THE FOCUS SEEMS TO BE ON THE BALLROOM.
00:10:05INCREDIBLE MOMENTS. ERIN, THANK YOU. CBCs ERIN COLLINS LIVE IN
00:10:09WASHINGTON. >>> NOW ONE OF THE MORE STUNNING RESULTS WAS IN TEXAS
00:10:12WHERE DEMOCRAT JAMES TALARICO
00:10:26DEFEATED KEN PAXTON AND WE JUST
00:10:30LEARNED ABOUT ANOTHER WIN FOR TEXAS FOR THE HOUSE, BRINGING
00:10:32THEIR TOTAL TO 232.
00:10:35LET'S GO TO KATIE SIMPSON. HISTORY IN THE MAKING.
00:10:38TELL US WHAT YOU'RE SEEING IN
00:10:42AUSTIN -- WAND WE'RE GOING TO LISTEN TO DONALD TRUMP WHO'S
00:10:46SPEAKING TO THE MEDIA. >> President Donald Trump: YOU
00:10:49HAVE NO CHOICE, YOU HAVE TO DO IT. YOU CAN'T HAVE IRAN LET A
00:10:53NUCLEAR WEAPON OR EVERYTHING THAT YOU SEE HERE SOMEDAY MIGHT
00:10:57NOT EXIST, AND MAYBE THIS --
00:10:59THIS BUILDING MIGHT BE THE ONLY ONE THAT DOES, SO YEAH, I THINK
00:11:03THAT -- LOOK, I MEAN, I'LL GET
00:11:06ALONG PROBABLY WITH THE DEMOCRATS UNLESS THEY WANT TO
00:11:09BE DESTRUCTIVE BUT I HAVE THE
00:11:11POWER OF THE VETO SO IF I DON'T
00:11:14LIKE WHAT THEY'RE DOING -- BUT THEY'VE ALREADY CALLED AND THEY
00:11:17WANT TO TALK ABOUT THINGS. THE IRAN THING WE HAD TO DO AND
00:11:21WE CONTINUE TO DO IT.
00:11:23WE HAVE TREMENDOUS OIL FLOWING
00:11:26OUT OF THE HORMUZ STRAIT NOW. BEFORE THERE WAS NONE, AND
00:11:29PROBABLY THAT'S THE PRIMARY REASON.
00:11:31THE PRICE -- NOT THE WAR, THE
00:11:44PRICE. >> [indiscernible]. >> President Donald Trump: NO,
00:11:46LOOK, IF EUROPE ON THE BALLOT
00:11:50WE WOULD HAVE WON.
00:11:53WE PACKED THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE IN THE
00:11:57RALLIES AND IF I HAD BEEN ON THE BALLOT WE WOULD HAVE WON.
00:12:00WE WEREN'T ABLE TO TRANSFER THE
00:12:01LOVE TO CANDIDATES.
00:12:08[indiscernible]. >> President Donald Trump: WHICH ONE ARE WE TALKING ABOUT? [indiscernible].
00:12:12>> President Donald Trump: I HEARD IT WAS A VERY GOOD SPEECH. GOT GOOD REVIEWS.
00:12:15THAT WAS THE ONLY SPEECH ON THE REFLECTING POOL.
00:12:19HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH ANYTHING ELSE. THAT WAS A SPEECH VERY MUCH
00:12:22LIKE THIS IS TODAY ON THIS INCREDIBLE PLACE WE'RE BUILDING AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
00:12:26IT'S GOING TO BE HERE FOR MANY, MANY YEARS AND SERVING OUR COUNTRY.
00:12:30THAT WAS ONLY A SORT OF A RIBBON CUTTING BECAUSE THE
00:12:33REFLECTING POOL HASN'T WORKED
00:12:34SINCE 1922.
00:12:38YOU KNOW, OVER 100 YEARS.
00:12:45THAT WAS NOT A SPEECH, THAT WAS JUST TALKING ABOUT THE
00:12:48REFLECTING POOL AND THEN A COUPLE OF OTHER COMMENTS.
00:12:50OUR SPEECHES WERE REALLY THE
00:12:56SPEECHES AT 30 RALLIES, AND THOSE RALLIES, THEY WERE
00:12:59TREMENDOUS LOVE.
00:13:07[indiscernible]. >> President Donald Trump: I CAN'T TELL YOU. [indiscernible].
00:13:10>> President Donald Trump: NO, NO.
00:13:13>> ARE YOU CONCERNED ABOUT IT? >> President Donald Trump: NOT EVEN A LITTLE BIT.
00:13:17I THINK IT WOULD DESTROY THE DEMOCRAT PARTY IF THEY DID THAT.
00:13:21FOR WHAT? HAVING A SUCCESSFUL COUNTRY?
00:13:23OUR COUNTRY IS MORE SUCCESSFUL NOW THAN AT ANY TIME IN ITS HISTORY.
00:13:36>> Andrew: ALL RIGHT. WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO MONITOR WHAT THE U.S. PRESIDENT HAD TO SAY.
00:13:40HE TALKED ABOUT IRAN, THAT HE
00:13:42DOESN'T REGRET IT, THAT IRAN
00:13:45CAN'T HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. HE TALKED ABOUT HOW HE WOULD
00:13:48GET ALONG WITH THE DEMOCRATS OR
00:13:52HE'LL USE A VETO.
00:13:53HE REFERRED TO THE "IRAN
00:13:57THING," SAYING PRESUMABLY WE
00:13:58HAD TO DO IT AND HE WILL "CONTINUE."
00:14:02NOW, THE PRICE, PRESUMABLY HE'S TALKING ABOUT THE PRICE OF GAS
00:14:05AND THE PRICE OF LIVING, THAT
00:14:07THAT'S THE REASON WHY
00:14:10REPUBLICANS LOST BIG LAST
00:14:13NIGHT, THAT IT WASN'T THE WAR BUT IT WAS THE PRICE BUT IF I
00:14:16WERE ON THE BALLOT I WOULD HAVE WON.
00:14:18LET'S GO TO THE CBCs KATIE
00:14:21SIMPSON IN AUSTIN, TEXAS.
00:14:24IT'S STRIKING TO HEAR THE PRESIDENT -- IS HE TALKING TO
00:14:27THE MEDIA NOW?
00:14:29NO, HE'S NOT -- FOR HIM TO SAY,
00:14:32"IF I WERE ON THE BALLOT, I
00:14:34WOULD HAVE WON."
00:14:36HE WAS THE ONE WHO TOLD VOTERS
00:14:39AT MANY OF THOSE RALLIES VOTE
00:14:45LIKE I'M ON THE BALLOT. >> Reporter: HERE'S THE THING,
00:14:49I DON'T THINK THAT CANADIANS
00:14:51SHOULD BE SURPRISED WHEN DONALD TRUMP SUFFERS A MASSIVE
00:14:55POLITICAL LIKES THAT HE COMES
00:14:56OUT AND TALKS ABOUT THINGS THAT
00:15:00HE -- POLITICAL LOSS THAT HE COMES OUT AND TALKS ABOUT
00:15:03THINGS THAT HE LIKES.
00:15:08HE SEEMED RESIGNED IN THE FACT THAT THE LOSS WAS COMING ON
00:15:12MONDAY AND WE HEARD ECHOS OF THAT TODAY.
00:15:15WHAT I DO THINK IS SURPRISING AND WHAT SHOULD BE SURPRISING
00:15:18TO CANADIANS IS DONALD TRUMP
00:15:21VERY CLEARLY AND VERY -- VERY
00:15:23CLEARLY ACCEPTING THE RESULTS OF THIS VOTE.
00:15:27REMEMBER 2020?
00:15:34REMEMBER WHEN DONALD TRUMP LOST THE ELECTION, THAT HE WOULDN'T
00:15:38ACCEPT THE RESULTS, REMEMBER THAT HE WON THREE ELECTIONS AND
00:15:42IT WAS FRAUD AND ALL THOSE KINDS OF THINGS? DONALD TRUMP AND THE WHITE
00:15:46HOUSE HAD SOWED THE SEEDS FOR AMERICANS TO NOT BELIEVE THE
00:15:49RESULTS OF THIS ELECTION. REMEMBER THAT BIG PRIMETIME
00:15:52ELECTION THAT HE GAVE FROM THE
00:15:53WHITE HOUSE, TALKING ABOUT ALL
00:15:57KINDS OF VOTER FRAUDS THAT COULDN'T BE PROVEN, FEARS THAT
00:16:01AMERICANS MAY HAVE ABOUT FEDERAL AGENTS SHOWING UP AT
00:16:05THE POLLS?
00:16:08THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN.
00:16:12I THINK THE NUANCE AND THE DIFFERENCES THAT IN 2020 THAT
00:16:16DONALD TRUMP HIMSELF WAS ON THE BALLOT. IN THIS CASE, HE'S NOT ON THE
00:16:19BALLOT. EVEN THOUGH HE TOLD PEOPLE HE
00:16:21WANTED TO BE ON THE BALLOT.
00:16:23BUT TO SEE DONALD TRUMP COME
00:16:27OUT THERE AND SAY THEY DID NOT WIN AND TO DO IT IN SUCH A
00:16:30CLEAR AND STARK WAY I DO THINK IS SURPRISING BUT I THINK IT
00:16:34SUGGESTS AND SIGNALS THAT THE
00:16:36LOSS WAS SO SIGNIFICANT, SO
00:16:39PROFOUND, SO USE SOME OF HIS WORDS, IT'S TOO BIG TO RIG.
00:16:43WHEN I LISTEN TO WHAT DONALD TRUMP HAS TO SAY IN THIS MOMENT
00:16:45AND WHAT THE PRESIDENT IS SAYING IN THIS MOMENT, THAT'S
00:16:49WHAT STANDS OUT TO ME. HE'S NOT PUSHING ANY THEORIES
00:16:53OF ELECTION FRAUD, HE'S ACKNOWLEDGING THAT AMERICANS
00:16:56AND AMERICAN VOTERS WERE UPSET
00:17:02WITH SOME OF THE DECISIONS HE MADE.
00:17:06AMERICANS COULDN'T HANDLE WITH
00:17:07THEIR FINANCES THE BIG INCREASE
00:17:11IN GAS AND THEN THERE'S TARIFFS
00:17:13AND OTHER AMERICAN POLICIES THAT ARE CHALLENGING THAT LED
00:17:17TO SIGNIFICANT CHANGE WHEN IT CAME TO WHAT WE SAW ACROSS THE UNITED STATES.
00:17:20>> Andrew: AND KATIE, I DO WANT
00:17:24TO TALK ABOUT TEXAS IN A
00:17:28SECOND. BUT ONE MORE QUESTION ABOUT GETTING ALONG WITH DEMOCRATS.
00:17:31TODAY HE'S WEARING A U.S.A. HAT
00:17:35BUT EARLIER HE WAS WEARING OR SHOWING OFF A VETO CAP.
00:17:39SO WHAT DIRECTION DO YOU THINK HE COULD GO?
00:17:42>> Reporter: HERE'S THE THING. YOU CAN'T PREDICT DONALD TRUMP.
00:17:45MAYBE HE CUTS DEALS WITH DEMOCRATS.
00:17:49HE CALLS HIMSELF A DEAL MAKER. MAYBE HE DOESN'T.
00:17:52MAYBE DEMOCRATS PASS LEGISLATION THAT DONALD TRUMP
00:17:56DOESN'T LIKE AND HE VETOES IT. MAYBE IT GETS ACROSS THE LINE.
00:18:00I THINK IT'LL HAVE TO BE A
00:18:03CASE-BY-CASE WAIT-AND-SEE SCENARIO.
00:18:04IF WE LOOK AT PAST BEHAVIOUR AS
00:18:07A PREDICTION OF FUTURE BEHAVIOUR THAT DONALD TRUMP
00:18:11DOESN'T LIKE LOSSES.
00:18:13CAN DEMOCRATS WORK WITH THE
00:18:16AGENDA GIVEN THE MANDATE THAT
00:18:18AMERICANS GAVE DEMOCRATS LAST NIGHT?
00:18:21CAN DONALD TRUMP CLAIM A WIN FOR HIMSELF BUT AT THE SAME
00:18:25TIME GIVE AMERICANS THE CHANGE THEY WANT TO SEE? THAT'S THE BIG QUESTION.
00:18:28IT'S GOING TO BE A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS.
00:18:30I THINK IT'S GOING TO DEPEND ON WHAT DEMOCRATS ARE GOING TO PURSUE.
00:18:34WE KNOW THAT PART OF IT IS LIKELY GOING TO RESOLVE AROUND
00:18:37INVESTIGATIONS IN CONGRESS, TRYING, WHETHER THEY GO THE
00:18:41IMPEACHMENT ROUTE. IMPEACHMENT WILL LIKELY GO TO
00:18:45THE HOUSE, PASS THROUGH THE HOUSE, AND THEN IT WILL GO TO
00:18:48THE SENATE FOR TRIAL. EVEN THOUGH THE DEMOCRATS DO
00:18:50HAVE A WIN IN THE SENATE AND A LEAD THERE THEY DON'T HAVE
00:18:54ENOUGH VOTES TO CONVICT DONALD
00:18:57TRUMP THROUGH IMPEACHMENT SO
00:19:00THEY'RE NOT GOING TO REMOVE HIM
00:19:03FROM OFFICE UNLESS A NUMBER OF REPUBLICANS DECIDE THAT'S
00:19:06SOMETHING THEY WANT TO SEE, AS WELL. I DON'T NECESSARILY THINK
00:19:09THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
00:19:15HOWEVER, LAST NIGHT? WHO KNOWS? WHO KNOWS? WHO KNOWS.
00:19:18AMERICANS TELLING WASHINGTON
00:19:22THEY WANT CHANGE AND THEY DON'T
00:19:24LIKE HOW THINGS ARE GOING.
00:19:26>> Andrew: I PROMISE I WILL ASK YOU ABOUT TEXAS BUT WE'RE JUST
00:19:30ROCKING AND ROLLING WITH WHAT
00:19:32WE'VE GOT. WE DID HEAR FROM DONALD TRUMP
00:19:36WHEN IT COMES TO THE WAR. IT'S THE GAS.
00:19:40IT'S THE PRICE OF GAS. IT'S NOT THE WAR ITSELF, IRAN
00:19:43CANNOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. WE'RE GOING TO DO WHAT WE NEED
00:19:46TO DO AND WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO DO THAT.
00:19:49THIS IS THE -- THE VICE
00:19:52PRESIDENT J.D. VANCE WEIGHED IN ON THIS A SHORT TIME AGO AND HE
00:19:56SAID THE REASON WE LOST IS THE WAR. THE PRESIDENT SAID SO HIMSELF
00:20:00LAST NIGHT. IF YOU'D LIKE TO ARGUE IT, THAT
00:20:02LOSING THE SENATE FOR THE NEXT
00:20:06SIX YEARS WAS WORTH IT, THEN
00:20:08ARGUE THAT IT WAS A WORTHWHILE COST TO PAY.
00:20:11AND WE'RE GOING BACK TO DONALD
00:20:13TRUMP.
00:20:16LET'S LISTEN. >> [indiscernible] TRUMP I
00:20:20KNEW -- I KNOW HOW HE FEELS ABOUT IT. I THINK IT WAS FINE, YEAH.
00:20:23I THOUGHT IT WAS GOOD. WE KNEW THAT.
00:20:26I KNEW THAT WHEN I WENT IN, AND WHEN HE STOPPED HIM FROM HAVING
00:20:30A NUCLEAR WEAPON AND THEY WILL
00:20:32NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON.
00:20:35>> HAVE YOU SPOKEN TO VICE
00:20:37PRESIDENT VANCE THIS MORNING ABOUT [indiscernible]. >> President Donald Trump: I'M
00:20:41SPEAKING TO HIM ABOUT A LOT OF
00:20:44THINGS BUT WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS. ANYBODY -- YOU DON'T KNOW WHO'S --
00:20:46[Applause]
00:20:54>> President Donald Trump:
00:20:55THAT'S A DANGEROUS JOB.
00:20:59THAT IS A DANGEROUS JOB.
00:21:02[Cheers and Applause]
00:21:08[indiscernible]. >> President Donald Trump: WELL, IT'S JUST THERE, IT'S A
00:21:11THING THAT THEY DO. HERE'S THE INTERESTING THING:
00:21:14SOMEBODY WILL WALK AFTER WE'RE GONE.
00:21:17THEY'LL WALK RIGHT ACROSS THAT,
00:21:21PICK UP -- AND WALK.
00:21:24YOU NEED VERY GOOD BALANCE. YOU KNOW WHAT?
00:21:27THEY'LL LEAVE THAT TREE. A GUY WILL WALK RIGHT ON THAT
00:21:30BEAM AND TAKE IT.
00:21:38[indiscernible]. >> President Donald Trump: NO, I DIDN'T SAY THAT.
00:21:40I SAID THEIR NUCLEAR WEBS WILL BE DESTROYED AND WHEN THAT HAPPENS --
00:21:44[Cheers and Applause]
00:22:06>> President Donald Trump:
00:22:09PRETTY DANGEROUS JOB.
00:22:12AND YOU KNOW WHAT? THEY FALL SOMETIMES AND WHEN
00:22:15THEY FALL IT'S TERRIBLE. [indiscernible]. >> President Donald Trump:
00:22:18WHENEVER I WANTED TO BUT IT'S GOT TO BE DONE RIGHT.
00:22:21WE'RE NEVER GOING TO LET THEM HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON.
00:22:24IT'S GOT TO BE DONE RIGHT.
00:22:27WE KNEW THAT FUEL WOULD GO UP.
00:22:30I THOUGHT IT WOULD GO UP TWO OR
00:22:37THREE TIMES THAT IT IS.
00:22:57[indiscernible]. >> President Donald Trump: WELL, I THINK HE'S DOING A VERY
00:23:00GOOD JOB AND I ACTUALLY THINK
00:23:04HE'D BE VERY POPULAR IF HE DID
00:23:04THAT, BUT I HAVEN'T HEARD THAT
00:23:10AT ALL.
00:23:13>> WHEN I SAID FAST, WE STOPPED
00:23:15THEM FROM HAVING A NUCLEAR WEAPON VERY EARLY ON WHEN WE DID THE RAID.
00:23:19[Cheers and Applause]
00:23:34>> President Donald Trump: IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE HELIPAD
00:23:37COME OVER HERE, BRING THE CAMERAS, AND I'LL SHOW YOU.
00:23:40>> Andrew: YEAH, WE'RE GOING TO
00:23:42TALK OVER THESE IMAGES.
00:23:50DON'T WORRY. WE'LL BRING YOU HIS COMMENTS.
00:23:53THE REASON THEY'RE CLAPPING IS BECAUSE THEY'RE LAYING A BEAM OR SOMETHING IN THE BALLROOM.
00:23:57HE IS TALKING A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT.
00:24:00HE WAS ASKED WHEN THE WAR WILL
00:24:03END, HE SAID WHENEVER I WANT IT
00:24:07TO. HE SAID FUEL WOULD GO UP BUT
00:24:09NOW IT'S COMING DOWN.
00:24:13HE SAID THE HORMUZ STRAIT IS
00:24:17OPEN.
00:24:17IT'S NOT OR IT'S NOT OPEN TO
00:24:22THE LEVEL IT WAS BEFORE THE WAR.
00:24:25HE WAS ASKED IF HE WAS GOING TO
00:24:27FIRE HIS SECRETARY OF WAR PETE
00:24:30HEGSETH AND HE SAID NO, HE'S
00:24:32DOING A VERY GOOD JOB.
00:24:35THE CBCs KATIE SIMPSON JOINS ME
00:24:39NOW. IT'S A LITTLE UNUSUAL TO SEE
00:24:42THE PRESIDENT TALKING RIGHT NOW. >> Reporter: IS IT ANOTHER
00:24:45EXTRAORDINARY MOMENT WHERE
00:24:46DONALD TRUMP IN THIS MOMENT IS
00:24:50SUFFERING A MASSIVE POLITICAL
00:24:52LOSS SHOWING OFF A HELIPAD AND
00:24:59WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE? AGAIN, I DON'T THINK
00:25:03CANADIAN -- IT MIGHT BE
00:25:09SHOCKING, IF AMERICANS ARE
00:25:13LOOKING FOR A MESSAGE OF HOPE
00:25:15AND THEY'RE LOOKING TO DONALD
00:25:18TRUMP I DON'T THINK IT'S NECESSARILY SURPRISING THAT
00:25:21HE'S NOT DOING IT, HE'S
00:25:23FOCUSING ON THE THINGS THAT HE
00:25:28LIKES.
00:25:30HE LIKES CONSTRUCTION, AND
00:25:34ULTIMATELY HE HAS SUFFERED A MASSIVE POLITICAL BLOW SO IT'S
00:25:38ABSOLUTELY SHOCKING TO SEE THIS
00:25:42UNFOLD IN REAL-TIME. BUT AT THE SAME TIME IS IT SURPRISING?
00:25:45ABSOLUTELY NOT. THIS IS THE SAME THING THAT
00:25:49DONALD TRUMP DOES. HE DID THAT ON MONDAY WHEN HIS
00:25:52CLOSING REMARKS TO VOTERS WERE MORE ABOUT THE REFLECTING POOL
00:25:55AND THOSE PIPES, GIGANTIC
00:26:00PHOTOS DONE UP OF PIPES AND ALL THE CONSTRUCTION GOING ON WITH
00:26:03THE REFLECTING POOL. I DON'T THINK THAT'S NECESSARILY SURPRISING BUT,
00:26:06AGAIN, I THINK THE THING THAT CANADIANS SHOULD TAKEAWAY FROM
00:26:10THIS MOMENT, I THINK THAT THEY
00:26:12SHOULD BE FOCUSING ON THE FACT THAT DONALD TRUMP IS ACCEPTING
00:26:15THE RESULTS. THERE'S A GENTLEMAN HERE THAT I
00:26:18WAS HAVING A BIT OF A MENTAL HEALTH CHALLENGE SO I'M GOING
00:26:21TO SEND IT BACK TO YOU, ANDREW.
00:26:27>> Andrew: WE'LL COME BACK TO
00:26:29THE CBCs KATIE SIMPSON.
00:26:31WE'LL TALK ABOUT TEXAS, OBVIOUSLY.
00:26:34DEMOCRATS WON VERY BIG IN
00:26:36TEXAS, TAKING A SENATE SEAT.
00:26:39ALSO, A LATIN AMERICAN WOMAN
00:26:41WAS ELECTED TO THE GOVERNOR'S
00:26:45SEAT BUT WE'RE GOING TO LET
00:26:47KATIE SIMPSON REPOSITION IN AUSTIN.
00:26:50>>> NOW WE'RE GOING TO POINT TO ELECTION NIGHT WHERE POLLS
00:26:54POINTED TO A DEMOCRAT -- OH, IS
00:26:56KATIE BACK? KATIE'S BACK.
00:27:00KATIE, I WANT TO ASK YOU, KATIE
00:27:03SIMPSON, LET ME ASK YOU A
00:27:09LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT TRUMP SAID ABOUT PETE HEGSETH,
00:27:12CONTRAST THAT WITH THE WAR AND I WONDER IF YOU'RE NOTICING --
00:27:16I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE OKAY BUT
00:27:17IF YOU'RE NOT WE'LL FIGURE IT
00:27:21OUT. >> Reporter: WE'RE OKAY. WE'RE OKAY.
00:27:24>> Andrew: AND I WONDER IF THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF A
00:27:28SCHISM HAPPENING BETWEEN THE PRESIDENT AND THE VICE PRESIDENT?
00:27:30>> Reporter: SO THAT J.D. VANCE POST ON SOCIAL MEDIA WHERE HE
00:27:33SAYS THE WAR IN IRAN IS TO BLAME, THAT TO ME IS A SIGNAL
00:27:37TO 2028. IT SAYS TO ME THAT WHEN DONALD
00:27:41TRUMP BROKE HIS PROMISE TO MAGA VOTERS THAT THERE WOULD BE NO
00:27:45NEW FOREIGN WARS IF A TRUMP-VANCE TICKET WAS ELECTED,
00:27:49WHEN DONALD TRUMP BROKE THAT
00:27:50PROMISE, J.D. VANCE WAS
00:27:53REPORTEDLY ONE OF THE MOST RELUCTANT PEOPLE IN THE WHITE
00:27:57HOUSE, PUSHING BACK, CAUTIONING AGAINST THIS MOVE.
00:28:01SOME OF THE REPORTING FROM THE "NEW YORK TIMES" SAYS J.D.
00:28:05VANCE SAID IF YOU'RE GOING TO
00:28:07DO IT, GO IN QUICK, GET IT
00:28:10DONE, AND GO OUT QUICK.
00:28:11WHAT THE J.D. VANCE POST SAYS
00:28:15TO ME IS J.D. VANCE IS LOOKING TO THE MAGA BASE TO KEEP THEM
00:28:19ENGAGED IN 2028 IF HE WANTS TO
00:28:21BE THE NOMINEE FOR PRESIDENT.
00:28:24THAT COALITION HELPED GET
00:28:28DONALD TRUMP INTO OFFICE TWICE AND I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF
00:28:32WE SAW J.D. VANCE LEAN INTO
00:28:35THAT EVEN MORE IN THE MONTHS
00:28:37AHEAD BECAUSE THE RACE TO BECOME THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE
00:28:41FOR PRESIDENT BEGINS TODAY AND
00:28:44THE RACE TO BECOME THE DEMOCRAT NOMINEE FOR PRESIDENT TODAY.
00:28:47VANCE RECOGNISES THAT MAGA WAS LET DOWN AND HE SEES IT, TOO.
00:28:51HE COULD PROBABLY TRY TO LEAN INTO THAT BECAUSE THERE WAS SO
00:28:55MUCH REPORTING AROUND THE TIME THAT DONALD TRUMP MADE THE DECISION TO LAUNCH THE WAR
00:28:59ALONG WITH ISRAEL IN IRAN, THAT
00:29:02J.D. VANCE WAS HESITANT BECAUSE
00:29:04SO MUCH OF THE 2024 ELECTION
00:29:06CAMPAIGN WAS ABOUT NO NEW
00:29:10FOREIGN WARS AND THAT WAS A BIG
00:29:15PLEDGE TO THE MAGA PLATFORM,
00:29:18AND WHEN WE WENT OUT TO TALK TO THE PEOPLE AT THE RALLIES, THAT
00:29:22WAS SOMETHING THEY WANTED TO SEE, THEY DIDN'T WANT TO SEE
00:29:25NEW WARS OVERSEAS.
00:29:28>> Andrew: OKAY. I THINK KATIE WE CAN NOW TALK
00:29:31ABOUT WHERE YOU ARE AND THE STUNNING VICTORY FOR DEMOCRATS
00:29:34IN TEXAS.
00:29:36TELL US ABOUT THAT. >> Reporter: SO IT WASN'T JUST
00:29:40THE SENATE RACE.
00:29:41JAMES TALARICO, WHO'S THE
00:29:47SENATOR-ELECT, IT WAS A
00:29:52COME-FROM-BEHIND UNDERDOG WIN,
00:29:53TEXAS IS A CONSERVATIVE STRONGHOLD.
00:29:56REPUBLICANS HAVE WON THE RACE
00:30:00FOR SENATE SINCE 1988 OR THE
00:30:04LAST TIME A DEMOCRAT WON WAS
00:30:101988, AND JAMES TALARICO WAS
00:30:13BORN IN 1989 SO THAT WAS A
00:30:18GENERATIONAL MOVEMENT. GREG ABBOTT, THE REPUBLICAN WHO
00:30:21WAS SEEKING A FOURTH TERM IN
00:30:22OFFICE, HE GOT THE BOOT, AS
00:30:27WELL. HE LOST PRETTY SOUNDLY TO GINA
00:30:31HINOJOSA, THE FIRST LATINA GOVERNOR ELECTED IN THE STATE OF TEXAS SO WHEN THE RESULTS
00:30:35HAD BEEN CALLED AND EVERYONE WAS SORT OF FILTERING OUT OF
00:30:38THEIR WATCH PARTIES WE CAME
00:30:40DOWN HERE TO THE CAPITAL BEHIND
00:30:47ME WHERE PEOPLE WERE PARTYING.
00:30:50>> I'M ALSO GAY MYSELF SO THE FACT THAT WE HAVE A BLUE STATE
00:30:53RIGHT NOW THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED.
00:30:56IT'S SO HARD BEING IN A STATE
00:31:03THAT'S AGAINST EVERYTHING I AM. >> AFTER THE 2024 ELECTION,
00:31:06OBVIOUSLY, SOON I'M, LIKE, IN A CROWD OF REALLY EXCITED PEOPLE
00:31:09BUT I FEEL LIKE THE AIR FEELS A LITTLE LIGHTER.
00:31:11>> WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT FOR SO LONG.
00:31:14I WAS JUST TERRIFIED THE WHOLE ENTIRE NIGHT.
00:31:18I WAS, LIKE, IS IT POSSIBLE?
00:31:19WE SHOWED UP, WE DID IT.
00:31:24>> IN OUR SENATOR-ELECT A
00:31:30POLITICIAN WHO LEADS WITH HIS
00:31:32HEART AND WITH LOVE. >> Reporter: SO THAT IS THE
00:31:35SENTIMENT IN TEXAS.
00:31:38SO PEOPLE WERE SUPER EXCITED
00:31:39AND MARKING AN HISTORIC CHANGE
00:31:43IN THIS STATE. >> Andrew: AND KATIE, WHAT DOES
00:31:44THE RESULT IN TEXAS SAY ABOUT
00:31:48WHAT AMERICANS GENUINELY FEEL IN THIS MOMENT?
00:31:51>> Reporter: I THINK IT'S PART OF THE BROADER MOVEMENT ACROSS THE UNITED STATES THAT THERE
00:31:55WAS SUCH FRUSTRATION WITH HOW THE GOVERNMENT IS BEING RUN RIGHT NOW, WITH THE DECISIONS
00:31:59MADE BY THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION, THAT IT'S NOT
00:32:01JUST IF YOU CAN TURN TEXAS BLUE, THIS CONSERVATIVE
00:32:05STRONGHOLD, THAT SIGNALS THAT,
00:32:06YOU KNOW, THERE IS DEEP, DEEP
00:32:09FRUSTRATION WITH THE WAY LIFE
00:32:11IS -- EXISTS RIGHT NOW IN
00:32:14AMERICA AND PEOPLE TURNED OUT IN RECORD NUMBERS IN ORDER TO
00:32:18TRY AND EFFECT CHANGE AND THEY CERTAINLY SENT A VERY CLEAR
00:32:21MESSAGE TO WASHINGTON AND THAT CHANGE WILL TAKE HOLD IN
00:32:24JANUARY. >> Andrew: KATIE, APPRECIATE YOU BEING THERE AND JUST KIND
00:32:28OF ROLLING WITH ALL THE BREAKING NEWS AND I'M WATCHING
00:32:31THE PRESIDENT AND REACTING ALONG WITH US AND WHAT HE HAD
00:32:34TO SAY AND TELLING US ALL ABOUT TEXAS. THANK YOU.
00:32:36THE CBCs KATIE SIMPSON LIVE IN AUSTIN, TEXAS.
00:32:40>>> NOW HEADING INTO ELECTION
00:32:43NIGHT POLLS POINTED TOWARD A
00:32:48DEMOCRATIC VICTIM BUT FEW
00:32:48THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A WIN OF
00:32:52THIS MAGNITUDE, INCLUDING IN
00:32:54THE BATTLEGROUND STATE OF
00:32:57MICHIGAN WHERE THE CBCs MEAGAN
00:33:01FITZPATRICK JOINS US NOW.
00:33:04>> Reporter: IT WAS A LONG
00:33:05NIGHT IN MICHIGAN, IN DETROIT. WE WERE AT THE MICHIGAN
00:33:09GATHERING FOR DEMOCRATS LAST NIGHT, TALKING TO PEOPLE WHO
00:33:11WAITED AND WAITED AND WAITED FOR THAT ALL-IMPORTANT SENATE
00:33:15SEAT TO BE CALLED AND IT
00:33:17FINALLY WAS AT ABOUT 2:30 IN THE MORNING.
00:33:20WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING ABOUT
00:33:23THIS VICTORY FOR ABDUL EL-SAYED?
00:33:27WELL, NOT JUST FOR HIM BUT THE
00:33:30DEMOCRATIC BLUE WAVE WASHING OVER THE COUNTRY.
00:33:33VOTERS TELLING ME THEY FELT THAT AMERICANS WERE HUNGRY FOR
00:33:37CHANGE IN WASHINGTON AND THEY GOT THAT CHANGE LAST NIGHT.
00:33:40SOME SAYING THAT THEY THOUGHT
00:33:42THAT PEOPLE VOTED IN SUCH A WAY
00:33:51THAT PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP
00:33:54HASN'T KEPT HIS PROMISE TO MAKE
00:33:56LIFE MORE AFFORDABLE. I TALKED TO PEOPLE HERE
00:34:00YESTERDAY AND WHAT KEPT COMING
00:34:03UP IS THE PRICE OF GAS, THE PRICE OF GROCERIES, AND THEY'RE
00:34:07NOT COMING DOWN AND THEY'RE LOOKING TO THEIR ELECTED
00:34:10LEADERS TO HELP WITH THAT. IT WAS CRUCIAL FOR THE
00:34:14DEMOCRATS TO HOLD THE SEAT
00:34:17THERE PLUS FLIP A NUMBER OF
00:34:20SEATS ON TOP OF THAT TO GAIN CONTROL OF THE SENATE.
00:34:23VOTERS HERE THAT I'M TALKING
00:34:25TODAY PLEASED WITH IT, THE RESULTS OF ALL OF THAT.
00:34:29>> I THINK THAT DONALD TRUMP HAS OVERSTEPPED HIS REACH AND
00:34:32SO NOW WE HAVE SOME PEOPLE
00:34:40THAT'S THERE TO KIND OF, KIND
00:34:45OF BLOCK THAT. >> THINGS NEED TO CHANGE.
00:34:48UP AND DOWN THE BOARD, ACROSS THE COUNTRY, PEOPLE ARE FED UP
00:34:52WITH WHAT'S GOING ON. >> I THINK HE'LL DO A GREAT JOB.
00:34:55HE'S HAD A LOT OF SUPPORT
00:34:59PARTICULARLY FROM DETROIT AND AFRICAN AMERICANS WHO GOT
00:35:03BEHIND HIM. >> Reporter: AND SO THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT THEY HOPE THAT
00:35:07ONCE DEMOCRATS TAKE CONTROL OF THE HOUSE AND SUMMIT IN JANUARY
00:35:11THAT THEY WILL ACT AS A CHECK ON DONALD TRUMP'S POWER.
00:35:14THEY WERE SAYING THAT THEY FEEL
00:35:16LIKE THE FEM IN CONGRESS RIGHT
00:35:19NOW CONTROLLED BY -- PEOPLE IN CONGRESS RIGHT NOW CONTROLLED
00:35:22BY THE REPUBLICANS HAVE NOT
00:35:26BEEN DOING THEIR JOB.
00:35:28AS FOR EL-SAYED, HE WROTE A
00:35:32POST ON SOCIAL MEDIA SAYING THE
00:35:36LAST 18 MONTHS HAVE BEEN
00:35:39EXHILARATING AND REWARDING BUT
00:35:42THIS SEAT IS THEIR SEAT AND
00:35:44HE'S GOING TO MAKE THEM PROUD.
00:35:47>> Andrew: AND MEAGAN, THE TRADE WAR CAME UP THERE.
00:35:51HOW DID IT PLAY A ROLE?
00:35:54>> Reporter: YES, IT PLAYED A ROLE.
00:35:57BECAUSE OF THE TARIFF WAR IT'S
00:36:00HAVING AN IMPACT IN MICHIGAN.
00:36:03WE'RE IN MICHIGAN, IN DETROIT, IN THE HEART OF THE AUTO
00:36:07SECTOR. BOTH CANDIDATES ENDED UP TAKING
00:36:10A STANCE ON THE TARIFFS.
00:36:14ABDUL EL-SAYED THROUGHOUT THE CAMPAIGN WAS PINNING TARIFFS ON
00:36:18THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION AND THE WAR IN IRAN.
00:36:21MIKE ROGERS HAD TO WALK A TRICKIER LINE WHEN IT CAME TO
00:36:24THE TARIFFS. HE DID EVENTUALLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY'RE HARMING MICHIGAN
00:36:28BUT HE HAD TO DO THAT IN A WAY
00:36:30THAT HE WASN'T HEAVILY CRITICIZING PRESIDENT TRUMP FOR
00:36:33IMPOSING THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE BUT IT WAS QUITE A SIGNAL
00:36:36WHEN ROGERS PUT OUT AN AD OF
00:36:39HIMSELF IN A BAR DRINKING A
00:36:44LaBATT BLUE SAYING "CANADIANS
00:36:46ARE NOT THE ENEMY," AND SAYING
00:36:49IN PARTICULAR MAYBE THE AUTO
00:36:52TARIFFS WEREN'T WELL THOUGHT
00:36:53THROUGH SO WE SAW CANDIDATES
00:37:00MENTIONING CANADA.
00:37:01ANOTHER WAY THAT CANADA CAME UP
00:37:05IN THE CAMPAIGN IS ABDUL
00:37:09EL-SAYED WANTS TO SEE UNIVERSAL
00:37:12HEALTH CARE IN THIS COUNTRY. CANADA CAME UP THAT WAY DURING
00:37:15THE CAMPAIGN, AS WELL.
00:37:18BUT AS FOR WHETHER THIS BLUE
00:37:23WAVE NOW WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE
00:37:24IN TERMS OF AN END TO THE
00:37:27TARIFF WAR, WE'LL HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE.
00:37:30PEOPLE I WAS TALKING HERE DIDN'T BRING IT UP A TONNE IN
00:37:33TERMS OF WHAT'S MOTIVATING THEIR VOTE.
00:37:36PEOPLE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE COST OF LIVING AND WHETHER THEY
00:37:39DIRECTLY CONNECTED THAT TO THE TARIFF WAR OR NOT, I DIDN'T
00:37:42HEAR THAT A LOT. THAT'S CERTAINLY WHAT ABDUL
00:37:46EL-SAYED WAS TRYING TO DO BUT PEOPLE ARE VERY MUCH AWARE OF
00:37:48IT IN MICHIGAN PERHAPS MORE SO
00:37:52THAN IN OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTRY.
00:37:55>> Andrew: THANK YOU, MEAGAN.
00:37:57THAT WAS CBCs MEAGAN FITZPATRICK IN DETROIT.
00:38:00>>> MANY NEW FACES WON A SEAT IN CONGRESS INCLUDING A NUMBER
00:38:03OF NEW PROGRESSIVES.
00:38:05SO HOW WILL THEY ALL WORK
00:38:09TOGETHER? DEMOCRATIC STRATEGIST LAURA FINK JOINS ME NOW FROM SAN
00:38:13DIEGO. LAURA, WE SAW STUNNING RESULTS
00:38:15LAST NIGHT WHERE DEMOCRATS TOOK MULTIPLE SEATS FROM THE
00:38:19REPUBLICANS. WHAT WAS THE MOST SURPRISING THING TO YOU ABOUT IT ALL?
00:38:22>> I THINK THE DEGREE OF IMPACT.
00:38:24THERE WERE RED STATES THAT HAD,
00:38:26AS YOU'RE REPORTING, HAVE BEEN
00:38:29IN THE HANDS OF REPUBLICANS FOR
00:38:31NEARLY A CENTURY. WE KNEW THERE WAS ENERGY ON THE
00:38:35DEMOCRATIC SIDE AND THAT THERE
00:38:39WAS DISSATISFACTION BUT IT WAS A PERFECT STORM THAT MET
00:38:41CANDIDATES WERE READY TO LEAVE.
00:38:45I THINK WE SAW GOVERNOR ROB
00:38:47SAND IN THE STATE OF IOWA.
00:38:49WE SAW A METHODIST PREACHER IN
00:38:52THE STATE OF MISSOURI WIN,
00:38:55DEMOCRAT AMY ACTON AND DR. AMY
00:38:59ANDREWS IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
00:39:01WE SAW THEIR SERVICES WERE LINES OF DECENCY AND
00:39:05CONSIDERING THE PEOPLE THAT THEY WISHED TO SERVICE AND THERE WAS A REAL ABSENCE OF
00:39:09THAT IN DONALD TRUMP SO I THINK BEYOND THE ECONOMIC NUMBERS AND
00:39:12THE TARIFFS AND OF COURSE THE GAS PRICES WERE OF COURSE
00:39:15DRIVING THINGS THERE IS ALSO
00:39:18THIS -- THERE WAS ALSO THIS FEELING AMONG VOTERS THAT THEY
00:39:21WEREN'T BEING CONSIDERED WHEN THESE DECISIONS WERE MADE AND I
00:39:24THINK THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES MADE THE CASE THAT THEY WOULD
00:39:27BE QUITE SUCCESSFULLY AND I THINK THAT'S WHY YOU SAW SUCH A
00:39:31SIGNIFICANT SHOWING OF THESE
00:39:32VARIOUS CANDIDATES AND THE
00:39:36INDEPENDENTS SWINGING BACK TO THEM, LATINOS SWINGING BACK AND
00:39:40INVESTING THEIR TRUST IN
00:39:41DEMOCRATS BOTH IN WASHINGTON
00:39:47AND IN THEIR ARMSTROHOME STATE.
00:39:50>> Andrew: WHAT DO YOU THINK
00:39:52THIS WILL MEAN IN THE IRAN WAR
00:39:55AND THE TRADE WAR WITH CANADA?
00:39:58>> WELL, I THINK IT WAS GREAT
00:40:00TO HEAR YOUR CONNECTIONS TO
00:40:04CANADA IN MAINE AND MICHIGAN.
00:40:10TROY JACKSON SAID HEY, WE CAN'T
00:40:13EAT ROAD SALT, AND SUSAN
00:40:16COLLINS SAID HEY, I NEGOTIATED
00:40:18THE ROAD SALT.
00:40:23ALSO I THINK WITHOUT OVERSIGHT OF CONGRESS.
00:40:25WITH REPUBLICANS, THEY DIDN'T
00:40:27STANDUP, THEY DIDN'T NEGOTIATE,
00:40:32THEY DIDN'T PUSH BACK AGAINST
00:40:35TRUMP AND THESE MEASURES
00:40:37IMPACTED FARMERS.
00:40:40THOSE REPUBLICANS,
00:40:43DYED-IN-THE-WOOL REPUBLICANS,
00:40:45THAT'S WHY THEY STAYED HOME.
00:40:48RANCHERS AND FARMERS IN THESE INDUSTRIES WERE IMPACTED SO
00:40:51PROFOUNDLY SO I THINK IT'S THAT LACK OF LISTENING AND YOU KIND
00:40:55OF HEAR IT TODAY AS WE GET TOURS OF THE BALLROOM AND NOT
00:40:58REALLY DISCUSSING WHAT NEEDS TO CHANGE.
00:41:00USUALLY WITH THIS LEVEL OF A
00:41:05RECKONING AND A PAUSE AND SOME SORT OF ADJUSTMENT.
00:41:08>> Andrew: WE HEARD, MOST OF IT WAS JUST TALKING ABOUT THE
00:41:11BALLROOM, AND AS YOU MENTIONED, HE WAS JUST SHOWING PEOPLE
00:41:14AROUND THE HELIPAD.
00:41:16HE DID TALK ABOUT THE RESULTS LAST NIGHT.
00:41:20HE SAID "I'LL GET ALONG WITH
00:41:21THE DEMOCRATS OR I'LL USE A VETO."
00:41:25SO WHAT DO YOU THINK THIS COULD MEAN IN TERMS OF HOW THE
00:41:28PRESIDENT REACTS?
00:41:29>> WELL, THE PRESIDENT IS UNPREDICTABLE.
00:41:33WE SEE THAT IN HIM NOT FIGHTING THE RESULTS.
00:41:37WE SEE IT ON ONE HAND WHERE
00:41:41HE'S WEARING A HAT THAT SAYS
00:41:46"VETO" AND ON THE OTHER HAND HE'S SAYING HE'LL WORK WITH
00:41:50DEMOCRATS BUT THE DEMOCRATS ARE SAYING THEY'LL TRY TO REALLY
00:41:53STOP SOME OF TRUMP'S TARIFFS, TO START REINVESTING IN
00:41:57COMMUNITIES AND HEALTH CARE. WE KNOW THERE'S SOME DEEP
00:42:00CUTTING COMING IN JANUARY DUE TO THE BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL SO
00:42:03THEY REALLY DO HAVE TO PLAY
00:42:06FIREFIGHTERS AND PUT OUT THE FIRES THAT TRUMP HAS STARTED
00:42:10AND THAT IMPACTS THEIR COMMUNITY.
00:42:13CORRUPTION WAS ALSO SECOND ONLY TO THE ECONOMY AND
00:42:15AFFORDABILITY IN VOTERS' MINDS
00:42:18AND THEY CONNECTED THAT CORRUPTION TO THEIR COST OF LIVING.
00:42:21THEY THINK LEADERS IN WASHINGTON ARE CUTTING DEALS AND THAT THEIR COSTS ARE GOING
00:42:25UP AS A RESULT SO THAT ACCOUNTABILITY, THAT
00:42:29PAY-TO-PLAY NATURE, IS GOING TO NEED TO BE PROSECUTED ON THE
00:42:33HILL, AND OVERSIGHT IS GOING TO
00:42:34BE NEED TO BE IMPLEMENTED.
00:42:37SO WHETHER OR NOT TRUMP VETOES
00:42:38THIS LEGISLATION OR PASSES IT I
00:42:42THINK THAT DEMOCRATS' JOB IS TO
00:42:44GIVE HIM THAT CHOICE. >> Andrew: AND THEN FINALLY, AS
00:42:48WE KNOW, DEMOCRAT PARTY HOLDS
00:42:51MORE WITH STRONG OPINIONS, THOSE MORE MODERATE,
00:42:55SOCIALISTS. HOW DO YOU THINK THAT'S GOING
00:42:56TO WORK IN TERMS OF THE CAUCUS?
00:43:05>> I THINK THE BIG TENT
00:43:09STRATEGY HAS BEEN SOMETHING THAT'S WORKED FOR DEMOCRATS IN
00:43:13THE PAST BUT THERE'S SO MUCH IN COMMON.
00:43:15IF YOU LISTEN TO THE VOTERS IN THESE STATES YOU'LL SEE THAT
00:43:18THERE ARE SOME CENTRAL THINGS THAT DEMOCRATS CAN DO THAT THEY
00:43:22ALL AGREE ON MOVING FORWARD TOGETHER, SO I THINK THEY HAVE
00:43:24TO FOCUS ON PUTTING WINS ON THE
00:43:26BOARD WHERE THEY AGREE FIRST, AND I THINK THEY HAVE THE
00:43:30CAPACITY TO DO THAT. IT'S NOT LIKE WE HAVE SUCH A
00:43:33NARROW MARGIN IN THE HOUSE OR THE SENATE THAT ONE PERSON'S
00:43:36VOTE CAN HOLD UP AN ENTIRE AGENDA AS WE'VE SEEN IN THE
00:43:39PAST SO I THINK THEY HAVE TO CAPITALIZE ON THAT, AND ALSO
00:43:42KEEP IN MIND THAT IF YOU WANT
00:43:44TO GOVERN MORE THAN TWO YEARS
00:43:47AT A TIME YOU HAVE TO MAKE COMPROMISES AND YOU HAVE TO
00:43:51WORK WITH PEOPLE WHO SEE THINGS DIFFERENTLY.
00:43:54WE SEE SWING STATES SUPPORTING
00:43:57PROGRESSIVES LIKE ABDUL
00:44:01EL-SAYED AND ALSO MODERATE
00:44:03CANDIDATES LIKE JAMES TALARICO
00:44:07SO THEY CAN SHOW US HOW IT'S
00:44:10DONE. >> Andrew: THE CBCs OLIVIA STEFANOVICH IS TRACKING
00:44:13REACTION HERE IN CANADA AND
00:44:15JOINS US LIVE FROM OTTAWA SO
00:44:18OLIVIA, WHAT WILL THIS MEAN FOR
00:44:22CANADA'S RELATIONSHIP WITH THE UNITED STATES AS SO FAR THERE
00:44:25IS STILL NO TRADE DEAL BUT THERE ARE TALKS? >> Reporter: YES, THERE ARE NO
00:44:28TRADE DEALS BUT THE MINISTER
00:44:32RESPONSIBLE FOR CANADA-U.S. TRADE CAME OUT TO SPEAK TO
00:44:36REPORTERS ON PARLIAMENT HILL ESSENTIALLY DENY THAT GO THIS
00:44:39BLUE TSUNAMI THAT WE SAW LAST
00:44:41NIGHT IN THE U.S. IS GOING TO LEAD TO A MAJOR CHANGE IN THE
00:44:45RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CANADA AND THE U.S. AT LEAST IN THE
00:44:48SHORT-TERM. DOMINIC LeBLANC SAID THE NEW MEMBERS OF CONGRESS AND THE
00:44:51SENATE IN THE U.S., THEY ONLY TAKE THEIR SEATS IN JANUARY AND
00:44:55THAT'S AFTER A NEW AUTO TARIFF IS SET TO TAKE EFFECT ON
00:44:59CANADA, INCREASING TARIFFS FROM
00:45:0225% TO 50%, SO UNCLEAR WHAT'S
00:45:08HAPPENING WITH THAT. DOMINIC LeBLANC ALSO REMINDED REPORTERS THAT DONALD TRUMP
00:45:11REMAINS THE U.S. PRESIDENT SO THIS IS THE PERSON THAT CANADA
00:45:14HAS TO CONTINUE TO DEAL WITH WHEN IT COMES TO ANYTHING
00:45:17RELATED TO CANADA-U.S. ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO
00:45:21NEGOTIATING A NEW TRADE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE TWO COUNTRIES. HERE'S MORE FROM LeBLANC.
00:45:25>> OUR FOCUS HASN'T CHANGED. YESTERDAY WE WENT TO WORK ON
00:45:28ISSUES OF AFFORDABILITY FOR CANADIANS, ON BUILDING MAJOR
00:45:31PROJECTS, ON STRENGTHENING THE
00:45:33CANADIAN ECONOMY, ON DIVERSE
00:45:36IDENTIFYING OUR TRADING RELATIONSHIPS. THAT WAS OUR FOCUS YESTERDAY.
00:45:40THAT IS ACTUALLY OUR FOCUS TODAY AND WILL BE THE FOCUS
00:45:43TOMORROW IN THE BUDGET. >> Reporter: SO LeBLANC IS NOT
00:45:47SAYING THAT CANADA HAS MORE LEVERAGE NOW THAN IT DID
00:45:51YESTERDAY WHEN IT COMES TO TRADE NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE
00:45:54U.S. BUT PREMIERS ARE HOPING THAT CANADA DOES AND THAT
00:45:58CANADA WILL BE ABLE TO SEIZE
00:46:01ATHIS OPPORTUNITY TO FINALLY
00:46:03LAND A NEW TRADE DEAL WITH THE AMERICANS.
00:46:06PREMIERS ARE REACTING TO THE
00:46:07MID TERM RESULTS.
00:46:11HERE'S HOW ONTARIO PREMIER DOUG
00:46:14FORD SAID HOW HE REACTED WHEN HE SAW THE RESULTS ROLL IN LAST NIGHT.
00:46:18>> I WAS DOING CARTWHEELS DOWN
00:46:21THE STREET, IF YOU'VE EVER SEEN
00:46:23A BIG GUY LIKE ME DOING CARTWHEELS.
00:46:26IT WAS VERY SIMPLE. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE SPOKE, THE
00:46:30AMERICAN PEOPLE SPOKE ON A COUPLE OF ISSUES: THE COST OF
00:46:34LIVING, THE COST OF GAS, AND THE WAR OF IRAN AND TARIFFS
00:46:37BECAUSE THAT'S ALL TIED IN TO THE COST OF LIVING.
00:46:40>> Reporter: NOW AS PLEASED AS FORD IS WITH THE RESULTS HE DID
00:46:44REMIND THE PUBLIC THAT THERE'S STILL A TRADE WAR GOING ON WITH
00:46:47THE U.S. SO THERE'S STILL A LOT
00:46:50OF WORK TO DO TO GET TARIFF
00:46:53RELIEF AND A TRADE AGREEMENT OVER THE FINISH LINE.
00:46:57WE ALSO HEARD FROM QUEBEC'S PREMIER WHO SAID HE BELIEVES
00:47:01THAT CANADA AND QUEBEC ARE IN A
00:47:03BETTER POSITION AFTER THE RESULTS. HERE'S QUEBEC'S PREMIER.
00:47:06[Speaking French].
00:47:27>> Reporter: QUEBEC SAYS IT'S
00:47:29GOING TO BE LAUNCHING A NEW
00:47:58[indiscernible] STARTING NEXT WEEK TO DUBLIN AND SEVERAL
00:48:01COUNTRIES IN ASIA INCLUDING THE
00:48:04PHILIPPINES, CAMBODIA, AND
00:48:06CHINA TO DO THIS WORK AGAIN. >> Andrew: ALL RIGHT.
00:48:10I KNEW ABOUT THE FRANCOPHONIE
00:48:15IN CAMBODIA.
00:48:21>>> WHAT IS THE OTHER PARTIES
00:48:24SAYING ABOUT THE RESULTS OF THE
00:48:25MID TERM ELECTIONS?
00:48:32>> Reporter: WELL, PIERRE POILIEVRE SAID HE WANTS A TRADE TEAM TO GET DOWN TO WASHINGTON,
00:48:34D.C. AND SECURE A DEAL WITH THE
00:48:39AMERICANS. >> The Hon. Pierre Poilievre:
00:48:41WHAT THE ELECTION DID WAS
00:48:45CONFIRM WHAT I SAID ALL ALONG. WE HAVE A MESSAGE OF MASSIVE
00:48:49GOODWILL FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. EVERYWHERE I WENT IN THE UNITED
00:48:53STATES, AND IT DIDN'T MATTER IF
00:49:01IT WAS TEXAS, FLORIDA, OR DETROIT, WE'VE GOT TO USE THE
00:49:05GOODWILL TO PRESSURE FOR TARIFF FREE TRADE.
00:49:08>> Reporter: WE ALSO HAVE REACTION TO BRING TO YOU FROM
00:49:11N.D.P. LEADER AVI LOUIS WHO
00:49:14WRITES IN A STATEMENT, THERE ARE CAUTIONARY TALES FOR OUR
00:49:18PRIME MINISTER. HE SAID THAT PRIME MINISTER MARK CARNEY IS ALL IN ON A.I.
00:49:21AND DATA CENTRES. HE ALSO MENTIONED FOSSIL FUELS
00:49:24AS ONE OF THE REASONS THAT'S
00:49:33DRIVING THE WAR IN IRAN, ALL
00:49:35POTENTIAL ISSUES FOR CARNEY MOVING FORWARD AND IT IS MANY
00:49:38OF THE NEW DEMOCRATS WHO WERE
00:49:41ELECTED IN THE U.S. LAST NIGHT
00:49:43DID OPPOSE DATA CENTRES IN THE
00:49:46U.S. OR AT LEAST CALLING FOR MORATORIUMS.
00:49:49>> Andrew: FOR MORE ON HOW THE
00:49:53BLUE WAVE WILL ACTUALLY IMPACT CANADA-U.S. RELATIONS WE'RE
00:49:57JOINED BY BARRY APPLETON, A
00:50:07TRADE LAWYER. BARRY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR
00:50:11TAKING THE TIME. WHAT DO YOU THINK THIS MEANS
00:50:14GENERALLY SPEAKING AND THEN WE CAN ZERO IN WHAT IT MEANS FOR
00:50:17US IN CANADA?
00:50:20>> WELL, LOOK, NO BALLOT REMOVES A TARIFF SO AT THE END
00:50:24OF THE DAY THE TARIFFS THAT WE'RE FACING IN CANADA HAVE ALL
00:50:27COME FROM EXECUTIVE AUTHORITY SO A CHANGE OF THE CONGRESS
00:50:30MAKES NO DIFFERENCE WHEN IT
00:50:35COMES TO CANADA IN TERMS OF THE
00:50:39POLITICAL INSTRUMENT. WE STILL HAVE -- LAST WEEK WE
00:50:42HAD DONALD TRUMP. ON MONDAY WE HAD DONALD TRUMP. ON FRIDAY WE'RE STILL GOING TO
00:50:46HAVE DONALD TRUMP, AND SO THAT'S BASICALLY THE SITUATION
00:50:49WE'RE IN, AND I THINK THAT'S
00:50:52BASICALLY ALSO WHAT DOMINIC LeBLANC WAS FACING TODAY IN HIS PRESS CONFERENCE.
00:50:56>> Andrew: DOES CANADA HAVE A
00:50:58STRONGER HAND NOW THAT DONALD
00:51:02TRUMP HAS BEEN DEFEATED IN CONGRESS OR AT LEAST THE
00:51:06REPUBLICANS HAVE BEEN DEFEATED IN CONGRESS?
00:51:09>> TODAY, DONALD TRUMP STARTS
00:51:13BEING A LAME DUCK BUT HE'S NOT
00:51:14JUST A LAME DUCK, HE'S A
00:51:21VINDICTIVE AND MEAN DUCK. HE'S GOT A LOT OF REASONS TO
00:51:24WANT TO HAVE A CONSTRUCTIVE
00:51:28CONVERSATION WITH CANADA AND ACCORDING TO THE MINISTER THE
00:51:30SCOPE OF WHAT'S AVAILABLE TO
00:51:34DISCUSS HAS GOTTEN MORE
00:51:37MANAGEABLE RATHER THAN LESS MANAGEABLE. BUT WE'RE AFTER THE ELECTION.
00:51:40THE PRESIDENT DOESN'T HAVE TO
00:51:42GIVE THE SAME TYPES OF
00:51:45COMMITMENTS AFTER THAN BEFORE.
00:51:46WHAT WE DO KNOW IS CANADA HAS
00:51:51SIGNALLED THAT IT'S READY TO
00:51:53COME TO TALKS, IT'S READY TO
00:51:56SEND NEGOTIATORS DOWN BUT UNTIL
00:51:59WE GET TRACTION ON ISSUES WE DON'T KNOW FOR SURE.
00:52:02ANDREW, I THINK IT'S GOT TO BE
00:52:04A LITTLE BETTER BUT WE REALLY
00:52:07DON'T KNOW BECAUSE WE'RE DEALING WITH THE SAME GUY.
00:52:11>> Andrew: WE'RE DEALING WITH
00:52:12THE SAME GUY AND THERE ARE A
00:52:16FEW PEOPLE HESITANT IN CANADA
00:52:17TO DEAL WITH THE SAME GUY.
00:52:22MAYBE THIS IS THE SAME TIME TO CONTINUE THE TASKS, CONTINUE
00:52:26WITH THE NEGOTIATIONS BUT ALSO AT THE SAME TIME MAYBE IT'S NOT
00:52:29THE TIME TO RUSH IN WITH A U.S.
00:52:34PRESIDENT WHO DOESN'T
00:52:35NECESSARILY SIGN DEALS THAT STANDUP.
00:52:38>> WELL, ANDREW, IF YOU LOOK AT
00:52:41AFTER DONALD TRUMP WON AND THE
00:52:43REPUBLICANS CAME IN THEY
00:52:45WEREN'T NECESSARILY BETTER FOR
00:52:50CANADA ON TRADE.
00:52:53WE'RE NOT SURE IN CANADA IF IT'S GOING TO BE BETTER.
00:52:56WE'LL PROBABLY HAVE A DIFFERENT TYPE OF ARRANGEMENT AFTER PRESIDENT TRUMP IS NO LONGER
00:53:00THERE BUT THAT'S STILL TWO YEARS AND THAT'S A LONG TIME
00:53:03FOR OUR WORKERS IN STEEL AND IN
00:53:06AUTO AND IN ALUMINUM AND IN
00:53:09SOFTWOOD, SO THE PRIME MINISTER HAS TO MAKE HIS DECISION.
00:53:12IS HE PREPARED TO MAKE BASICALLY WHAT COULD BE A
00:53:16SHORTER DURATION DEAL BECAUSE IT COULD CHANGE AFTER, TO BE
00:53:19ABLE TO TRY TO MINIMIZE THE IMPACT OF THE TARIFFS?
00:53:22IS HE PREPARED TO TOUGH IT OUT
00:53:24AND FOCUS ON THE ISSUES LIKE
00:53:27THE RED LINES AND THE SOVEREIGNTY?
00:53:29WE SIMPLY DON'T KNOW BECAUSE SO
00:53:34MUCH OF IT IS DEPEND ENT ON HO
00:53:39THE PRESIDENT ACTS.
00:53:40WE JUST DON'T KNOW.
00:53:44>> Andrew: MAYBE AS YOU SAY, DEMOCRATS HAVE BEEN
00:53:47PROTECTIONISTS IN THE PAST, SO WHAT DO YOU THINK THIS NEW
00:53:50CONGRESS AND JUST THE POLITICAL KIND OF DYNAMIC AT PLAY COULD MEAN?
00:53:54I MEAN, DO YOU HAVE ANY SENSE OF WHAT IT COULD MEAN?
00:53:57COULD IT MEAN SOME OF THESE
00:53:59SECTORAL TARIFFS GET REMOVED OR
00:54:02LESSENED OR WHAT?
00:54:05>> SO ANDREW, CONGRESS WILL HAVE NO SAY ON THE SECTORAL TARIFFS.
00:54:09THAT'S WHY THE COURT WILL BE ABLE TO SAY IF IT'S
00:54:13CONGRESSIONAL BUT THE CONGRESS CAN'T BECAUSE THEY CAN CHANGE
00:54:16LEGISLATION AND THE PRESIDENT
00:54:18CAN VETO IT AND THEY DON'T HAVE
00:54:23THE VOTES IN BOTH HOUSES.
00:54:26THE CONGRESS NEEDS THE PRESIDENT TO BE ABLE TO MAKE
00:54:28THE CHANGES IN THESE PARTICULAR
00:54:30TYPES OF TARIFFS BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL DONE BY EXECUTIVE
00:54:34AUTHORITY. WE'RE IN UNPRECEDENTED AREAS.
00:54:37THE COURTS CAN STRAIGHTEN IT OUT BUT IT'S GOING TO TAKE A
00:54:41YEAR OR MORE JUST LIKE WITH THE EMERGENCY TARIFFS SO WE'RE IN A
00:54:44SITUATION WHERE A DEAL NEEDS TO BE MADE INSIDE CONGRESS, A DEAL
00:54:47NEEDS TO BE MADE BY CANADA WITH THE U.S. AND ALSO WITH MEXICO
00:54:51AND ALL THE PIECES ARE STILL HANGING THERE.
00:54:55THE PRIME MINISTER SOMETIMES
00:54:58CALLS THAT VARIABLE GEOMETRY.
00:55:00IT'S VERY MUCH IN PLAY SO WHAT WE CAN DO IS WATCH WHAT THE NEW
00:55:04LEADERSHIP WILL LOOK LIKE,
00:55:11PARTICULARLY ASSUMING IF HAKEEM
00:55:13JEFFRIES BECOMES THE NEW
00:55:17SPEAKER.
00:55:18WE KNOW THAT DEMOCRATS WILL GET
00:55:22MORE AFFORDABILITY BUT WE DON'T
00:55:24KNOW WHAT COMES NEXT.
00:55:26>> Andrew: THERE WAS A HISTORIC
00:55:28WIN IN GEORGIA LAST NIGHT.
00:55:32DEMOCRAT KESHIA LANCE BOTTOMS
00:55:38BECAME THE FIRST SENATOR
00:55:49ELECTED. >> WE CELEBRATE A VICTORY FOR ANYONE, LEFT, RIGHT, OR CENTRE,
00:55:52STRUGGLING WITH THE SKYROCKETING COST OF LIVING
00:55:55FROM GAS TO GROCERIES TO TARIFFS.
00:55:59ANYONE WHO'S SICK OF ENDLESS
00:56:02WAR, BY CUTS TO YOUR HEALTH CARE, ANYONE WHO'S FED UP WITH
00:56:06THE MOST CORRUPT PRESIDENT IN
00:56:10HISTORY.
00:56:11>> Andrew: NEW HAMPSHIRE
00:56:17SENATOR [indiscernible] REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS AND AGAINST
00:56:20THE CREATION OF DATA CENTRES.
00:56:22HE CALLED HIS WIN A VICTORY
00:56:24OVER THE BROKEN STATUS QUO.
00:56:27>>> AND YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE U.S. CAPITAL IN WASHINGTON.
00:56:31THE COMPETITION OF CONGRESS WILL LOOK VERY DIFFERENT IN
00:56:35JANUARY AFTER THE MID TERM ELECTIONS. MORE AHEAD. [♪♪]
