00:00:00critical trends, as we saw in
00:00:032024, that is, that the economy was the top
00:00:06issue for voters
00:00:09of that federal state, let's say, at in the USA. Uh, in the 2024
00:00:12election, that narrative, that
00:00:15commitment, this, let's say, fixation of voters, of course,
00:00:19also went against the Democratic party in this
00:00:22cycle, this uh, is it a huge
00:00:26huge plus for that same party? So I think that's in... "at
00:00:30this moment, in these global and globally
00:00:33economic circumstances, it's a simple fact. We saw similar
00:00:36things in some other countries that had
00:00:40elections in this period of about two or three months. So
00:00:44this is a global wave to some extent,
00:00:47and I think that it will
00:00:50probably similarly characterize
00:00:54the next presidential elections in
00:00:58for the
00:01:02Republican party, now it
00:01:04will be a big job for them to
00:01:07distance themselves from this president and the agenda that, at this
00:01:11moment, at least, seems to have totally collapsed
00:01:14and failed in a political sense
00:01:18for all those possible future candidates who will seek,
00:01:21right, to establish themselves as
00:01:24a Republican alternative, uh,
00:01:27a big, big job ahead of them. We saw
00:01:30yesterday on social media that Trump felt the need to announce with a
00:01:34"good morning" and a reminder that he is still president
00:01:37in the United States of America. So,
00:01:41Trump remained in the White House after the elections, but he lost
00:01:45Congress. How difficult will it actually be in practice
00:01:48to implement his policies in the next two
00:01:50years?
00:01:53Well, look, I think we have to emphasize that this previous Congress, which was
00:01:57under the total control of Republicans and... the Senate in the
00:02:00presidential house, is considered one of the most
00:02:03unproductive Congresses in modern
00:02:06American history. So, the smallest
00:02:10number of significant laws were passed during
00:02:13that mandate, and now, as for the
00:02:17laws that will, let's say,
00:02:20be among those laws for President Trump to be the key architect,
00:02:24there's actually nothing of that. I mean, the President did
00:02:27say ... to some extent, he is
00:02:30ready to cooperate and agree
00:02:34with the Democrats. And there might even be a
00:02:37need, at least concerning some, let's say, basic
00:02:40budgetary issues, for some kind of agreement to be reached.
00:02:44But in terms of a real political
00:02:47agenda, there will actually be nothing
00:02:50in the next two years. What will dominate politics,
00:02:54at least from the side of Congress, will actually be those... various
00:02:58investigations, hearings,
00:03:02reports, and so on, about everything
00:03:05the Democrats talked about
00:03:09during the campaign. So, their belief that this is
00:03:12a corrupt president, that the people around him are corrupt,
00:03:16and even in the context of
00:03:19attention to the Western Balkans, a few weeks ago
00:03:22we had that report which was published
00:03:26by the foreign policy council of the Democrats in the presidential
00:03:30house, uh, whose key author was Mr.
00:03:33President, uh, William Keating,
00:03:37which, you know, concerns alleged
00:03:40affairs, let's say, because we still don't know all the
00:03:43facts, but about those accusations that
00:03:47there were some, let's say, political malversations in
00:03:51the context of lifting sanctions for Mr.
00:03:54Dodik, uh, the realization
00:03:57of the Southern Interconnection project, i.e., the integration
00:04:00of the AFS company into
00:04:04relevant legislation in the entity of the Federation. So these are
00:04:07things that Democrats will definitely re-examine in this
00:04:11mandate, similar affairs in other countries around the world
00:04:14where it is claimed that Trump's family, or some
00:04:18close associates, had - I repeat - those
00:04:22corrupt agendas. So that
00:04:25will dominate American politics for the next two years.
00:04:28So you and other analysts have
00:04:32said in the previous period that the war with Iran, economic
00:04:35pressures, rising prices, political burdens for the administration,
00:04:39we can conclude that these very topics decided the elections. How much
00:04:43space will the Democratic majority actually have to influence
00:04:46the foreign policy of the United
00:04:49States? So, considering that the president
00:04:53still holds key
00:04:54powers,
00:04:58of course, however, Congress still... has significant authority in that
00:05:01regard. I believe that we will already in the next few
00:05:05days, maybe even see a
00:05:09reaction specifically regarding the mandate
00:05:13and leadership of Mr.
00:05:16who is the Secretary of Defense of the USA. We already have some
00:05:19announcements even from this
00:05:23from some Republicans who are terribly
00:05:26bitter about Mr. Gaksath because they
00:05:29accuse him of, you know, poor leadership
00:05:33of the military campaign, the campaign against Iran in that war in
00:05:36the Persian Gulf, that it actually cost the president and
00:05:40the Republican party their dominance. Uh, in
00:05:43Congress, so it is quite possible that
00:05:47Peit Hegseth will not be
00:05:50Secretary of Defense of the USA for much longer,
00:05:53and I think probably if
00:05:57he is removed from office, either by
00:06:00Congress through that so-called impeachment
00:06:04process, or if President Trump will
00:06:08actually fire him, whatever
00:06:11happens, I think it will just
00:06:14be the first in a series of departures from this
00:06:17administration that are yet to come, because
00:06:21rarely anyone will want to stay in an administration that
00:06:24will be under a kind of political siege
00:06:28for these next two years, at least at this
00:06:32moment, I mean, let's say, that mainstream
00:06:35political logic, although I think it's too early to think
00:06:39and speculate like this, uh, I think the result."
00:06:42The Democratic Party's results were so dominant
00:06:46and historically significant last night, or the
00:06:50night before last, no, last night, I apologize, this,
00:06:53that it is probably already expected at this moment that
00:06:56in 2028, a Democrat
00:07:00will win the race for the White House.
00:07:04To some extent, it might not even matter who it is, that's how their
00:07:08performance was last night, that was their
00:07:11success.
00:07:13"What were the most interesting or most unexpected
00:07:16moments of these midterm elections
00:07:18in the United States, in your personal opinion? We listened to and watched
00:07:22with great attention the speech
00:07:26of the newly elected senator in
00:07:29Michigan, Elsayed, and
00:07:32the fact that someone of his origin
00:07:35and background managed to enter
00:07:38the Senate. How surprising is that to you?" "And
00:07:42how do you interpret it? I assume you heard his speech, perhaps you
00:07:46could relate to his story at times,
00:07:48given that you are
00:07:52also of foreign origin in America?" "Perhaps you could relate to his story
00:07:56at times, right?"
00:07:59Well, you see, I think it must be emphasized that Mr. Elsayed is a native-born
00:08:03American, although of course he has roots from
00:08:06the African-Arab world. Uh, on one
00:08:09hand, it must also be said that he was quite... I won't say controversial
00:08:12candidate, uh, because I think
00:08:16that was some criticism, and I think it was mostly
00:08:19malicious criticism from some Republicans, uh,
00:08:23that quite - I repeat -
00:08:26truly malicious accusations that the man is a terrorist,
00:08:30extremist, Islamist, or whatever. I mean, that's totally
00:08:33absurd. But on the other hand, it must be said that he was
00:08:37a pretty bad candidate, that it is now actually possible that some other
00:08:40Democrat in that position... would have achieved a slightly more significant
00:08:44result. But then again, it must be said that
00:08:48this is still a historic event, mm.
00:08:50The first person of Arab and Muslim origin who will be in
00:08:54the American Senate. So that is in the context of,
00:08:58let's say, a pluralistic, democratic,
00:09:01liberal society, it is always desirable to have more
00:09:04people from different uh, you know,
00:09:08from different parts of the world, experiences,
00:09:11cultures, and so on. As for the broader
00:09:15picture, I'll say again that these results,
00:09:18specifically in Mississippi, where every vote is literally
00:09:22counted, or the difference is so minimal, at least at this
00:09:25moment, are also an incredible result
00:09:28in South Carolina. Then, for example, if we look at
00:09:32Texas, not only did Mr. Talarico and Ms.
00:09:35Hinojosa win their races for
00:09:39the positions of senator and governor, but when you
00:09:42look down the ballot, let's say,
00:09:46you see that Democrats dominate
00:09:49at a simply incredible rate
00:09:52of dominance. I mean, in a state that until two days ago
00:09:56was under absolute
00:09:58multi-generational control of Republicans, 30 plus
00:10:02years Republicans have dominated there. In the
00:10:06case of Kansas, since 1932,
00:10:10not a single Democrat had ever been elected. movement at the level of that federal
00:10:14state. For example, then in North Carolina
00:10:17where I even lived a few years ago, so I'm somewhat
00:10:21familiar with the details of the politics of that federal state.
00:10:25Uh, so, Democrats have almost taken over all
00:10:28representative positions
00:10:30at the level
00:10:34the level of federal Congress. So these are really
00:10:37these are, I repeat, generational, historical
00:10:40successes for the Democratic Party, and we'll see, of course, what they'll be
00:10:44able to do with that in the next two years, whether they'll be able
00:10:48to build also a generational political
00:10:51movement that will be able to cement their
00:10:55results and
00:10:57victories from last night. During the campaign itself
00:11:01in the previous period, we often heard that, for example,
00:11:04every time Americans passed a gas
00:11:08station, it was like an anti-Republican advertisement, or a Democratic
00:11:11advertisement, when citizens saw the
00:11:15gas prices. You also mentioned how much the focus was
00:11:19on the economy, how much economic
00:11:22topics dominated and somewhat decided these
00:11:26mid-term elections. What other topics, when we talk
00:11:29about life in America, are
00:11:33also problematic for people,
00:11:36what can be heard there in the public sphere as a desire
00:11:40for change? Uh,
00:11:43if you were to talk about those most important, perhaps
00:11:46negative aspects of life in America, and
00:11:50about everything that is actually an important
00:11:54change in relation to some previous years or
00:11:57decades in America, what would you
00:11:59single out?
00:12:02I think what happened last night
00:12:06was a kind of referendum
00:12:09uh, on the question of how younger voters
00:12:13in America see their opportunities, what opportunities
00:12:16they see for themselves in this existing
00:12:19America. Unfortunately, I think a huge number of them
00:12:23concluded that the current,
00:12:27right, current prospects are extremely bad for them, that
00:12:30a uh a systematic
00:12:33change is needed. So, uh, life in
00:12:37America has become extremely expensive.
00:12:40Uh, opportunities for economic
00:12:43uh self-realization, let's
00:12:46say, uh, what Americans
00:12:49are used to, uh, has become increasingly
00:12:53difficult, mm. All those statistical
00:12:56studies, surveys,
00:12:59and numbers indicate that
00:13:02this will probably be one of the first generations that
00:13:06will, in an absolute economic sense, have a
00:13:09harder, or rather, worse life than their
00:13:12parents. So these are those some
00:13:16small signs, indicators of why there
00:13:19was such a significant, let's
00:13:23say, radical turnaround among
00:13:27voters in the USA. Then when you add
00:13:30some other, well, I wouldn't say details, but additional
00:13:34facts, not just inflation, but, for example, that while a
00:13:38huge number of American voters and citizens are really
00:13:41struggling for survival, especially people in the middle class
00:13:45and lower middle class,
00:13:47for whom life has truly become
00:13:51too expensive, even in some states that
00:13:54were, until a few years ago, relatively
00:13:57economically stable, were not
00:14:01terribly expensive, like, for example, California where I live, which was
00:14:05always known for being expensive, and suddenly even
00:14:09that part of America has become, has become extremely
00:14:12expensive. When you have to pay five
00:14:16or six dollars for a
00:14:19gallon of gas in some Kansas or Iowa, that
00:14:22is, that is dramatic, it is dramatic.
00:14:25In California, until the beginning of this war with
00:14:28Iran, gasoline was still quite
00:14:32expensive, around 4 to 4.5 dollars per gallon.
00:14:35So now for us in California, when the price is around
00:14:396 dollars, it can still be
00:14:42tolerated. However, when your gas jumps from two dollars
00:14:46to five or six in some Kansas or Iowa,
00:14:49where the average salaries are
00:14:53much lower, that is and." That still has a much
00:14:56greater impact. Then, I repeat, you add to
00:15:00that the fact that you have people
00:15:03like Elon Musk, who is so close to President Trump, who
00:15:06becomes the richest man
00:15:09ever, that he is not the only one
00:15:13at the same time when Americans are fighting for, let's
00:15:16say, economic survival, at the same time you have a president
00:15:20who builds those luxury
00:15:23halls, for some reason unclear to anyone,
00:15:27we see those images every day from his
00:15:30resort in Florida. So these are
00:15:34these are, these are bad scenes, these are bad."
00:15:37contrasts for a president and for a political
00:15:40movement that, in 2024,
00:15:43and even in 2016, built itself
00:15:46on that narrative that they are
00:15:49champions, that they are avatars of the so-called
00:15:53forgotten man, as Mr. Trump claimed. So,
00:15:57in these past two years, it absolutely did
00:16:00not seem, I think, to most Americans that Mr.
00:16:04Trump and the Republican party, uh,
00:16:07were political actors who really cared
00:16:10too much about the status of the average
00:16:14American voter or citizen. We could
00:16:17hear Trump who still says that if I were on that
00:16:21ballot, they would have circled me.
00:16:24Do you think he honestly believes what he says, or
00:16:27are these elections still the beginning of the end of Trump's political
00:16:31dominance, or can we still expect that he will
00:16:34remain the Republican favorite for political direction after
00:16:372028? You
00:16:41see, Mr. Trump, as a political candidate and
00:16:45as a political actor, is a bit strange, because he has always been
00:16:48extremely unpopular, even when he
00:16:50won, he was extremely unpopular.
00:16:54Hmm, in that sense, there is that political specificity in
00:16:58him, mm, perhaps it is somewhat, it can be described, perhaps as
00:17:01his political, political genius in the sense that
00:17:05he, despite that, what is objectively
00:17:09unpopular, was from the first day he appeared
00:17:12in 2015, 2016, and he
00:17:15still achieved significant political results, that is
00:17:18undeniable. However,
00:17:21uh, political gravity still exists, and
00:17:24everything comes to an end. I think that
00:17:27even some smarter Republicans, mm,
00:17:31in 2020, at the end of 2024, when he
00:17:35of course won his second
00:17:38mandate, and when Republicans quite
00:17:41unexpectedly achieved majorities in both houses
00:17:45of Congress, there were many of those Republicans who
00:17:49truly did not expect that result, and to some extent,
00:17:52they feared everything that followed,
00:17:55that Mr. Trump concluded after November,
00:17:59November 24th, that he had some kind of carte blanche
00:18:03mandate to totally reform
00:18:06this. The US as a state political
00:18:10project and concept in his ideological
00:18:13view, of course, it turned out in the end
00:18:16that they did not have the capacity
00:18:19to do it to the end as they
00:18:23wanted, far from it in fact. On the other
00:18:26hand, such
00:18:29a belief was actually extremely
00:18:32unpopular even among many Republicans in
00:18:35Congress, precisely because of that, this Congress was
00:18:39one of the most unproductive in modern American
00:18:43history, because the Republicans themselves were
00:18:46in fact a brake
00:18:49on some of the most radical, most extreme demands
00:18:52that came from the White House, some of his
00:18:56most terrible allies
00:19:00in Congress. So,
00:19:01uh,
00:19:04America has a very special political system. And
00:19:08uh, which is by its design, right, intentionally
00:19:11divided, and it is very difficult for someone
00:19:15who represents one
00:19:18or the other political extreme, uh, to
00:19:21totally take over that political system,
00:19:25to totally this, from
00:19:28its foundations, right, to collapse it and make something else. That's
00:19:31that's that simply this system doesn't allow that, and although,
00:19:35of course, it must be said that mm... Mr. Trump did
00:19:39a lot to really jeopardize, I think,
00:19:42the democratic integrity of the American republic, but now, of course,
00:19:46we will see if there will be some kind of
00:19:49turnaround, or rather, some kind of renewal, not just in the next
00:19:53two years, but I think in this next decade
00:19:56that will follow, mm, after a decade
00:20:00that was dominated by Mr. Trump and
00:20:03his political movement. And for
00:20:06the end, Mr. Janović, let's focus
00:20:09a little more on not just the Western Balkans, specifically
00:20:13on Bosnia and Herzegovina. So, you've already mentioned, you particularly highlighted
00:20:17the lifting of American sanctions against Milorad Dodik. When
00:20:21do you expect that issue to come to the agenda
00:20:24in Congress, and what changes can we actually expect
00:20:28in Bosnia and Herzegovina after these, after these elections, when
00:20:32we talk about the relationship
00:20:35of the United States with Bosnia and Herzegovina?
00:20:39Well, first of all, I must emphasize that when we talk about changes,
00:20:43changes in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the responsibility for that lies primarily
00:20:47with the political leadership in BiH
00:20:50and the voters in Bosnia and Herzegovina. And here I must mention
00:20:53that I am terribly upset, sorry, and sad
00:20:57that so few voters in Bosnia and
00:21:00Herzegovina turned out for the previous elections, and
00:21:04at the same time, we see what the turnout was
00:21:07in Hungary, in Serbia, in Israel, in the USA. So
00:21:11people who expect something different from
00:21:15their society and their political representatives in almost all
00:21:19other democratic countries around the world,
00:21:22they vote, even if they believe they live in autocratic societies
00:21:26like it was in Hungary and Serbia, they
00:21:29vote in elections. That didn't happen in Bosnia and
00:21:32Herzegovina, and I think one really should
00:21:35be ashamed of that, it must be said like that, unfortunately,
00:21:39I say. However, what you asked me about
00:21:42American politics, you see, I think the issue of sanctions for
00:21:46Milorad Dodik will definitely soon be on the
00:21:50Congress's agenda. Of course, Congress cannot
00:21:53define or change the US sanctions
00:21:56policy. However, it can make it a
00:22:00rather painful political issue for this administration
00:22:04in a period that will generally be quite politically painful for them.
00:22:07So, I'm somewhat convinced, if I may
00:22:11say so, it's more a question of
00:22:15time until sanctions
00:22:19are reimposed on Milorad Dodik, not whether
00:22:22they will be reimposed. In the worst case, it will have to wait for the
00:22:26next presidential
00:22:30administration, but I think it is
00:22:32not impossible that they will be reimposed even
00:22:36during this, let's say, final
00:22:39part of Mr. Trump's mandate, because
00:22:43simply, almost a year,
00:22:46more than a year after the lifting
00:22:50of those sanctions, only political problems followed
00:22:53for the administration and for the Republicans due to that
00:22:57fact. And even today we still don't have
00:23:00a coherent argument from the State Department and
00:23:03various representatives of the administration as
00:23:06to why such a decision was made at all, especially when we see
00:23:10Mr. Dodik, who is meeting with Vladimir
00:23:13Putin for the tenth time, who
00:23:16threatens the citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina, who threatens
00:23:20the integrity of BiH, who threatens the integrity of the Dayton
00:23:23Peace Agreement. So someone who objectively,
00:23:27regarding this discussion, undermines and threatens the
00:23:30political and strategic interests of the USA, that such
00:23:34a person is removed from the US blacklist,
00:23:37I think is, of course, extremely politically
00:23:41questionable.
00:23:43Thank you very much, Mr. Mujanović, for being our first guest
00:23:47this morning. Thank you for this analysis.
00:23:51Thank you for the invitation, once again. Jasmin
00:23:53Mujanović spoke for "New Day," dear viewers, about the elections in America,
00:23:57or rather, the results of the midterm elections, and he reported live
00:24:01from Los Angeles. Stay tuned.
00:24:14Two years ago, Donald Trump won on the slogan "Make America Great
00:24:17Again." Two years later, his actions made America blue
00:24:21again. Democrats won Congress in the midterm elections, they have at least
00:24:2554 seats in the Senate and 231 seats in
00:24:28the House of Representatives, meaning they have a majority
00:24:31in both. The Democratic blue wave
00:24:35swept from the East to the West Coast after they won
00:24:39the House of Representatives, the Senate, and a large number of gubernatorial races.
00:24:42Democrats won the Senate race in Texas for the first time since
00:24:461988. In this traditionally
00:24:50Republican state, they will have a governor who,
00:24:53immediately after declaring victory, went to dinner with
00:24:56the senator. We have just proven that all the money in this
00:24:59world cannot compare to the power of the citizens of Texas. And we
00:25:03have just sent a message to every billionaire who makes huge
00:25:07political donations, to every corrupt defender of this
00:25:10crumbling political system in this state: power
00:25:14belongs to the people. There were
00:25:16several other historic results. Democrats will have a senator
00:25:20from Kansas after 94 years.
00:25:23Michigan elected Abdullah Al-Sayed as
00:25:26the first Muslim senator.
00:25:29Donald, I know my name gives you trouble, so when I
00:25:33take the oath in January before JD Vance, you can
00:25:37simply call me senator. Peggy
00:25:40Flanagan from Minnesota will be the first Native American woman in
00:25:44the Senate, and the writing of history was followed by the one who
00:25:48most wants to write history.
00:25:50Donald Trump's first appearance was expected on Fox
00:25:53News, but he does not attribute
00:25:56the defeat to himself. I was not on the ballot,
00:25:58if I had been, they would have come out to vote.
00:26:02Look, they came to rallies, you've never seen such large
00:26:06rallies, that's why I'm a little surprised, I thought I could
00:26:09transfer the support of those people to the candidates. For
00:26:13the Democrats, he immediately had a message on the social network Truth Social,
00:26:16he posted a photo of a cap with the inscription
00:26:19veto. That is one of the strongest powers
00:26:23of the president, they will send crazy proposals, I will
00:26:26veto them. Trump also attributed the defeat to the war
00:26:30with Iran. Americans are... dissatisfied with prices and
00:26:34inflation. Every time an American passes
00:26:38a gas station, it's practically like a campaign ad
00:26:42for Democrats, because people are paying
00:26:44$4.25 for a gallon of gas and I think
00:26:48that's what angers them the most. The world, however, was not
00:26:51very shaken by the results, yet leaders expect
00:26:55some changes. I hope that there will now be more discussion about
00:26:58Ukraine, what we can do together to help them.
00:27:03Today, democracy won in America, democracy is
00:27:06truly incredible, I love democracy, it's something
00:27:09truly beautiful. As for relations with
00:27:13Serbia, I believe that the strategic dialogue will be able to continue
00:27:17depending on the relations of congressmen from Serbia, but
00:27:20I congratulate you on what happened in Serbia.

00:29:41The reason I resigned is known to you and
00:29:44the public:
00:29:47one dead, no one guilty, the people remember
00:29:50the system. The quick reaction of the fire
00:29:54units resulted in the users being quickly
00:29:57evacuated.

00:30:27meaning they, they
00:30:28humiliated us.
00:30:41While daily reporting on gender-based violence, how
00:30:45protected are female journalists and media workers really from sexual
00:30:49harassment, pressure, and discrimination? Within the project
00:30:52Women in Media, a rulebook on preventing sexual and other forms
00:30:56of harassment in newsrooms was developed, a document that offers clear reporting procedures.
