00:00:00the one obtained by Republicans in this state by
00:00:04Larry Roden with 64.2%
00:00:07against Dan Aclers with
00:00:0935.8%.
00:00:12Here, apparently, there is no
00:00:16major surprise, because these
00:00:19states have generally always been Republican
00:00:22Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez at strongholds. Yes, in fact, something interesting,
00:00:25Paola, is that, eh, the Republican Party
00:00:28maintains itself in the states and in the seats,
00:00:33result within but it doesn't take any from the Democratic Party, I think that's the
00:00:36part
00:00:39intervention, aimed at the destruction that needs attention, eh, there is no doubt a hard
00:00:42vote, as we told you
00:00:45eh from some
00:00:49hours ago and that is reflected in that
00:00:52there are some seats and
00:00:55human excuse. What states that remain Republican.
00:00:57Amidst all this, we continue to add actions at this
00:01:01time from our correspondent from Texas,
00:01:05we continue talking with you, José Leveña, in a
00:01:08panorama where contradictions seem to
00:01:11jump out at first sight, already
00:01:14recently also live, at this moment
00:01:17several representatives from the Republican
00:01:20wing are leaving for Congress, among
00:01:23them Chuck Schumer who
00:01:26has also put forward several of these propositions against
00:01:30a foreign policy that was putting
00:01:33or is putting the United States in a bind, such
00:01:37as the war in Iran, but he said: we will continue fulfilling
00:01:40our agenda with or without the
00:01:43president,
00:01:45yes, exactly, but we have to take into account that now
00:01:49things are going to get complicated in the
00:01:52chambers because even declarations of war have to pass through
00:01:56million people face the chambers and President Donald Trump had them all with
00:01:59him. to continue maintaining these
00:02:03policies in West Asia, it must
00:02:05be noted that two very important figures, Mark
00:02:09Milley, who is the Secretary of
00:02:12Homeland Security, and Pete Hest, the Secretary of
00:02:16War, will have to
00:02:19mark a rebound in give many accounts to the Senate and the House of
00:02:21countries, thank you
00:02:22campaigns and that so Representatives from next year, we could
00:02:25also see
00:02:27systematic aggression, initiatives for impeachment in the chambers
00:02:31to bring another
00:02:34political trial against the president and it wouldn't be the first time for
00:02:38Donald Trump and of course next year
00:02:41the negotiation of the US government
00:02:44budgets could also get complicated with these chambers
00:02:48against President Donald
00:02:50Trump. This also,
00:02:54Jose, will undoubtedly
00:02:56have to do with the hemicycle, with mark what are the key points or axes
00:02:59of what remains of his
00:03:01100% to reach what government's management. I emphasize this because the results broadly
00:03:05show us control in the House
00:03:08of Representatives by the Democrats, the same scenario in the
00:03:11Senate, which is also key for what you just
00:03:14mentioned, and the governorships that
00:03:18also emphasize a change in a powerful message that
00:03:21they send to the US president himself. There is a
00:03:24rejection of these particularities
00:03:27that he has been handling since the WKI. from other
00:03:31situations that have not been favorable to him at all and
00:03:35the electorate that today even though the Republicans, the
00:03:38Trump administration and he are not on the ballot, which are the
00:03:42three explanations given by the party for having these
00:03:45adverse results,
00:03:47exactly and also President Donald Trump has forgotten
00:03:51humanism, as you say, the attack on wokeness,
00:03:55on minorities, on Latinos, people
00:03:59adore them and not only Latino migrants, also
00:04:03migrants from other
00:04:05later, that design translates into countries in Asia, who have also been attacked, many medical
00:04:08students, many technology students
00:04:12who came to this country, it has been a constant attack
00:04:16on those people
00:04:19who saw the United States as the land
00:04:22of opportunity and instead of being an American dream, it has been turning into
00:04:25the American nightmare
00:04:27in the last two years.
00:04:30An American nightmare that could also have its consequences,
00:04:34Mariana, amidst this situation, a complex
00:04:37panorama, which also afflicts
00:04:41the whole world, because these elections become elections of
00:04:44impact, no, Trump was also asked in this media in
00:04:48elections of impact, no, Trump was also asked in
00:04:51this media outlet where he said he was going to forge an alliance,
00:04:55well, the term alliance is a term I'm using, he didn't say
00:04:58it like that, he said he was going to work hand in hand with the Democrats because he didn't want to
00:05:01spend the remaining two years
00:05:04Trump administration, and what applying vetoes, but then he publishes this image where he puts
00:05:08veto inside the red hat that was also part of his
00:05:11campaign. The elections and he says
00:05:14specifically, we are going to analyze the situation and if we see any opportunity to
00:05:18do something else, we will take it, he refers
00:05:21to the conflict in West Asia, what we were saying, he will not give up
00:05:25his agenda, this could
00:05:28generate more friction and above all, what will those say, as you said,
00:05:32who, in quotation marks, trusted in a
00:05:35victory for these elections that have turned into a real
00:05:38defeat, they have turned into
00:05:41a... real defeat
00:05:44and
00:05:46eh what remains, what remains for now
00:05:49is eh until this moment
00:05:52no one has spoken about the
00:05:55extraordinary presidential powers, let's
00:05:59not forget that Trump on the first day of his mandate
00:06:02invokes IEPA, which is precisely
00:06:06these war powers
00:06:09where it is considered that the national
00:06:13security of the United States is in danger and that allows
00:06:16him to have extraordinary powers, eh, we are going to
00:06:20identify in the following days how
00:06:24the US Congress is going to position its agenda, but
00:06:28as the correspondents and you
00:06:31yourself said, we are
00:06:33going
00:06:36to identify how President Trump vetoes
00:06:39in discursive terms to
00:06:43pressure the congressmen to modify or move
00:06:46their political position and with that to
00:06:50give a possibility to maintain his agenda, I think there are certain
00:06:54policies in these last two years
00:06:57that can be a great lesson for the
00:07:01Democratic congressmen and that is a strategy of President Trump
00:07:04of not from his perspective
00:07:08and that we have analyzed in different moments in commercial
00:07:11policy. A very aggressive position because as
00:07:15he well says when he was criticized for his
00:07:18respect for this policy and the taco policy
00:07:22that there were setbacks and advances on the same
00:07:25public policy he responded at
00:07:29some point I have nothing to lose and everything to
00:07:32gain and my position will always be to do everything possible to
00:07:36put the negotiating table in this case to Congress and
00:07:40the gain of the Democratic
00:07:42Party to negotiate a position in which
00:07:46he had nothing to gain, I think that will be the
00:07:49tonic for the following years
00:07:53and I would be very attentive to what
00:07:56are the first issues that will have
00:07:59this cooperation no cooperation
00:08:02as you said he didn't say cooperation either but
00:08:05to establish a dialogue in what is possible to
00:08:08modify bring closer the positions of his agenda.
00:08:13in a party that does not necessarily have its
00:08:17own interests, it will be
00:08:20very interesting, this negotiation and
00:08:23this lobbying internally in the United States and of course
00:08:27at an international level, this can have
00:08:31serious and important implications, again,
00:08:34the president has extraordinary powers by IEPA,
00:08:38eh, we must identify later if the
00:08:41Senate will... withdraw it,
00:08:45no, because through this IEPA it has been possible
00:08:48for him to do it via executive order, but he is capable of doing it now, under the
00:08:52conditions, they are capable of doing it and if you
00:08:55analyze or if we analyzed what have been
00:08:59the topics of executive orders in this second
00:09:02administration, super administration, it far
00:09:05exceeds all the executive orders that he himself
00:09:08signed in his first term and there are at
00:09:11least four priority topics that he has
00:09:14carried out by executive order and
00:09:17established President Trump's agenda, one has to do with all
00:09:21anti-woke policies, which from the results we can
00:09:24identify that the electorate does not necessarily,
00:09:28the vast majority of the electorate does not necessarily
00:09:30have a closeness, the other
00:09:34has to do with the bureaucracy that again he considers
00:09:37inefficient and that has its own interests and
00:09:40that will not...
00:09:44favor the interests of the United States, so I think that is something that
00:09:48will at least be stopped and reconfigure the institutions
00:09:51in that country, the
00:09:55third has to do with trade policy and tariffs and what
00:09:58we have already analyzed in this special program, the effects it has
00:10:02had for the electorate, especially as consumers
00:10:05that initially companies assumed, but that
00:10:09now reaches consumers and the effects
00:10:13it has had regarding inflation and another
00:10:16fundamental issue has to do with wars and
00:10:20foreign policy which, as you have
00:10:23already pointed out, well. everything seems to indicate that the composition
00:10:27of Congress will have to
00:10:30negotiate strongly, these are the four issues that he has
00:10:34established as his agenda via executive order
00:10:38and so far everything seems to indicate that he will have to negotiate or
00:10:41veto, that will be the new tone, those are the two paths left to
00:10:45the Trump administration, but we will also see the pressure he
00:10:49has within his own party, there are already those who have stated their position,
00:10:53Chuck Schumer for example, one of the Republicans who
00:10:56throughout this time, at least these first two
00:10:59years, has not hesitated, even to present
00:11:03resolution projects that have been debated within this hemicycle to
00:11:07curb these powers in some way and
00:11:10control that the situation does not get out of hand as it has, no,
00:11:14and he says, he just said it moments ago, we will continue with our agenda with or
00:11:18without the president, and that is not a minor statement coming from the Republican
00:11:21wing, let's see how the map is being painted, of course in
00:11:25the United States in a vote that has
00:11:28marked a historical trend in a defeat for the
00:11:31Republicans, especially those strongholds, where for more than
00:11:3430, even 88 years there had not been a
00:11:38seat in the Senate, well, the Democratic wing,
00:11:41today they have changed again, they have turned this legislative
00:11:44map around, what do we have on the map at this moment, there
00:11:48we see how it is also being marked in blue and in
00:11:52red, 10 for the Democrats, nine for the
00:11:55Republicans, 32 at this moment unassigned, we keep the map
00:11:58to add some data regarding the election of governorships with
00:12:02high-profile victories. What does this represent?
00:12:05Today governors were elected in 36
00:12:08states, Georgia, where the Democrats have also
00:12:12achieved victory, New York has been another of the Democratic
00:12:16comebacks, Florida, where the
00:12:19Republican has been maintained, although the Democrats, it must be said, have
00:12:22advanced at the federal level, the Republican. Donalds won
00:12:26the governorship of Florida, also becoming the first governor in the
00:12:29state's history to be African American, this also
00:12:33marks key points within a
00:12:37crushing victory that the Democratic wing has also achieved in these
00:12:40governorships that already
00:12:44the consolidation of their
00:12:47far are also maintaining a
00:12:50crushing victory of at least 23
00:12:54of these governorships that are already in the hands of the
00:12:58Democratic wing against the Republicans, in campaigns that have
00:13:01especially pointed to the high cost of living,
00:13:04inflation, the crisis, a foreign
00:13:07policy that in the end consumers have ended up paying for, as
00:13:11Mariana well says throughout this analysis, we add more
00:13:15data to our map, in the results that also
00:13:21the US Congress, where
00:13:25a majority also favors the Democrats
00:13:28over the Republicans, let's see how the House of
00:13:31Representatives is formed so far, of
00:13:35the 435 seats disputed in
00:13:38November, 179 for the
00:13:42Democrats, 108 for the
00:13:44Republicans and zero for independents,
00:13:48what to say about this important axis also in the
00:13:52Senate, because this has also marked a historic turning point. For
00:13:55a majority, that is, the Democrats
00:13:58managed to snatch several of the
00:14:01Republican seats, victories in Republican
00:14:04strongholds, Texas, for example, with the victory
00:14:08of James Talarico, who defeated Republican Kevin
00:14:11Panston, and this also represents the recovery of a seat since
00:14:151993. South Carolina is another of the
00:14:19key axes also within this victory, within the US
00:14:22Senate, with the victory of Democrat
00:14:25Evangeline Andrews which also
00:14:29returns a 28-year streak to the Democratic
00:14:32wing, Mariana, North Carolina has also been another where the
00:14:36Democrat Roy Cooper took this seat, ratifying
00:14:40and not losing, maintaining in any case this seat, another of the
00:14:44outstanding results, we continue in the
00:14:47Senate with John Ossoff who retained his crucial seat also
00:14:51for Georgia, New Hampshire.
00:14:55who also won and became the first federal senator, who
00:14:58has also broken this stigma, this narrative of
00:15:02wokeism, right, that has widely managed the United
00:15:05States and who has even come out to give a
00:15:08clear message to President Trump, to tell him here
00:15:12I am, here I will remain and I will maintain my
00:15:15agenda for the coming years. The immediate
00:15:18impact, we know, in the Senate, a key axis which
00:15:22is to block judicial appointments. It is to define the
00:15:26appointment of secretaries who accompany the
00:15:29can also be the elimination of these special
00:15:33powers that currently fall to the President of the United States and that
00:15:37he has. to do with the open conflicts in the world,
00:15:41on the one hand, the one unleashed in West Asia, although Trump says he
00:15:44plans or has projects for future attacks and
00:15:47that he would take advantage of any scenario against Iran, also the funding
00:15:51that he continues to grant on the one hand to
00:15:54Ukraine, although he has generated a cut of more than
00:15:574 million dollars to Israel,
00:16:01it also forms part of this complicity within a
00:16:04genocide against the Palestinian population.
00:16:08We also have the
00:16:10the House of Representatives, as we were saying,
00:16:14108 Republicans, 179 Democrats,
00:16:17which also gives control of this
00:16:21House of Representatives, given the demands that
00:16:24the opposition in the United States also handles for responsibilities to
00:16:28be assigned to the current administration of Donald Trump,
00:16:32we will see if really the call to
00:16:36conform, to work, to
00:16:39advance within an agenda and not become
00:16:43a veto for the next two years that he has left to apply veto
00:16:47and continue working through decrees in that
00:16:50country, two
00:16:53different
00:16:55scenarios that could also be materialized in some way,
00:16:59perhaps in the next
00:17:02eh or in the next few hours in reality when
00:17:05we are already Wednesday because it is already 1:17
00:17:09AM also in this
00:17:13latitude of our Latin America and the
00:17:16Caribbean, we are going to share once again the consolidated
00:17:20map of the control of the House of Representatives in favor of
00:17:24the Democrats, as well as the US Senate and a greater number of
00:17:27governorships of these 36 states that have also voted today,
00:17:31this is how the United States has voted. Mariana Aparicio,
00:17:35a pleasure to share this special program of the United States decides midterm
00:17:38elections, thank you for joining us and accepting our invitation from
00:17:42TeleSUR, a pleasure to share with you Paola and with all the
00:17:45correspondents in the United States and above all to thank
00:17:49all the TeleSUR audience for following us in this special coverage and
00:17:52to stay tuned for the effects that these midterm
00:17:56elections may have in our
00:17:59to you Mariana and also to our production team, operations, to the entire
00:18:03editorial team, assignments that have been sharing information with you
00:18:06by the minute. Updating the results of elections that
00:18:10have been defined through the polls with the Latino vote
00:18:14making a decisive counterweight also for the inclination of
00:18:17this balance and TeleSUR has told you so. Good night.
00:19:26The doctrinal origin of this policy was established in the historic
00:19:29memorandum of Undersecretary Lester Mallory in April
00:19:321960: to deprive the island of money and supplies to
00:19:36provoke hunger, despair, and overthrow of the
00:19:39government. Six decades
00:19:43the daily loss of more than 15 million dollars, in a sanctioning
00:19:46labyrinth that punishes any foreign ship or bank
00:19:50that touches Cuban ports. What began
00:19:53as an internal directive in Washington, well, now
00:19:56ended up becoming a recurring
00:20:00global condemnation file. The international rejection has been repeated since
00:20:041992, the blockade in force since 1900.
00:20:08It is the longest in modern history. The United
00:20:11Nations considers it the main obstacle to the island's development.
00:20:15The aggression began before the revolutionary triumph. In
00:20:181958, Washington imposed an arms
00:20:21embargo. After the 1959 revolution,
00:20:25hostility was established in a few months with a CIA paramilitary plan
00:20:29approved in 1960. The commercial
00:20:31escalation culminated that same year. The Eisenhower
00:20:35government refused to export.
00:20:40In October, it imposed a total embargo, except for food and
00:20:43medicine. The legal framework has accumulated regulations since
00:20:461917, the blockade exceeds the
00:20:50of both countries and persecutes companies from third countries
00:20:53that trade with Cuba. The impact is adverse. Between
00:20:57March 2025 and February 2026, the
00:21:00blockade cost the island more than 8 billion dollars,
00:21:04a record figure. The thaw between 2015 and 2017
00:21:08eased restrictions, but the subsequent administration re-imposed
00:21:12the blockade. Six decades after its imposition, no
00:21:15official timetable anticipates its lifting.
00:21:20Undoubtedly, the purpose remains the same: the uprising of the Cuban people
00:21:24to generate the conditions for a military
00:21:29of political, defensive, and
00:21:32territorial relations of the nation-state as a whole to install a
00:21:35neo-colony that responds to imperialist
00:21:39interests. This has been a combination of comprehensive
00:21:42warfare actions that have predominated, above all,
00:21:46or rather, have driven the style of organized
00:21:50crime, from the economic, the financial,
00:21:53and the promotion of social participation in this
00:21:56uprising, as stated by Marco Rubio in
00:22:00recent days, the objective of US
00:22:03pressure has not changed from more than 60 years ago to
00:22:07the present, what may be more or less
00:22:10updated are the forms in this
00:22:14comprehensive war against the Cuban people and the Cuban
00:22:17government, and we return to the Cuban system. The
00:22:21socialist system of inclusion, of well-being, which demonstrates that there is
00:22:24a new way of life and government
00:22:27possible.
00:22:29Behind the diplomatic speeches and legal technicalities, there is
00:22:33an invisible human cost that doesn't fit into financial
00:22:37balances. While the international community
00:22:40debates resolutions in New
00:22:43York, more than 11
00:22:46daily a machinery designed to cut
00:22:50the most basic supplies, from the fuel that sustains operating
00:22:53rooms to credit, from the fuel that
00:22:57sustains operating rooms, to bank
00:23:00credit to buy a ton of flour, for example, it's not
00:23:03just about macroeconomic figures, the issue
00:23:06is how the financial blockade and inclusion in unilateral
00:23:09lists operate on the ground as a silent
00:23:13and
00:23:17in the streets of Havana and...
00:23:20the interior, the crisis is not measured in diplomatic
00:23:23balances, but in the daily struggle against inflation and
00:23:27scarcity. Citizens live with blackouts that
00:23:30exceed 10 consecutive hours, an energy
00:23:33contingency that paralyzes the workday, ruins the
00:23:37scarce refrigerated food, and forces
00:23:40entire families to cook with charcoal or
00:23:43wait until dawn to get water.
00:23:45100%, deliberately
00:23:51we were proposing, the uprising,
00:23:55where 70% of the territory
00:23:59has electricity cuts, they do not allow ships
00:24:02with fuel to enter, there is the paralysis
00:24:06of production and services in the daily
00:24:09life of the Cuban people, and well,
00:24:13after more than half a year without receiving fuel and the
00:24:16impediment to acquiring responses, eh,
00:24:20spare parts, sorry, and technology to be able to promote
00:24:23thermoelectric plants, there is total deliberation, eh, the
00:24:27US actions, either from the White
00:24:31House or from the White House gang against this
00:24:34sector to be able to soften the population
00:24:38and thus continue in this process, as we mentioned, of
00:24:41comprehensive war against the people. The domestic
00:24:45economy faces a severe price distortion where the market
00:24:49value. normally pulverizes the purchasing power of state
00:24:53salaries and retirees' pensions to acquire basic
00:24:56ration book products. reasoning or obtaining
00:25:00basic medicines, the population must endure endless
00:25:03queues from early morning, facing
00:25:06physical exhaustion in pharmacies and unstocked
00:25:09stores, and defend our revolution and
00:25:13demonstrate that they cannot block us anymore, we are
00:25:16suffocating, we are suffocating, they are suffocating us and we want to defend
00:25:20our land, we feel happy like this, let them leave us with our idiosyncrasy
00:25:24and with our naturalness. In hospitals
00:25:27and community clinics, health personnel work at
00:25:30their limit due to the lack of disposable supplies, laboratory
00:25:34reagents and first-line
00:25:37antibiotics. Doctors are forced to improvise
00:25:39treatments or postpone scheduled surgeries,
00:25:43while chronic patients depend on neighborhood
00:25:46solidarity or the sending of packages from abroad to continue
00:25:50their treatments. This accumulated wear and tear has caused
00:25:53an evident social fracture in the massive migratory exodus that empties
00:25:57school classrooms, workplaces and homes of
00:26:01young families, amidst the scarcity of public transport,
00:26:04the partial dollarization of trade and daily uncertainty,
00:26:08Cubans try to find survival strategies in a territory
00:26:11where resistance ceased to be a political slogan to
00:26:15become an effort of extreme
00:26:17survival. Without a doubt, they are full of
00:26:21lies, as denounced by
00:26:24the UN General Assembly of the UN, and
00:26:28of course there is no excuse or
00:26:32pretext. humanly credible
00:26:34to justify these
00:26:37actions. Without a doubt, the
00:26:40issue of this attack, this site, as
00:26:44we mentioned, is truly a
00:26:48sick act that
00:26:50is causing a genocide against the Cuban
00:26:54people and has no
00:26:57they want to do is expand territorially
00:27:01to be able to take over our America,
00:27:04geopolitically, take control of the Florida Strait and of course
00:27:08also advance towards taking the Yucatan Strait
00:27:11and thus control the Caribbean corridor to be able to
00:27:15generate their "stability" or
00:27:19stability for them, of national security, and they
00:27:22continue to treat us as a backyard.
00:27:26The outcome in the international arena leaves an unalterable certainty,
00:27:30six decades of financial blockade and deliberate
00:27:33asphyxiation have not managed to break the political will of a
00:27:37people who sustain their sovereign project against all
00:27:41odds, in the face of the labyrinth of sanctions and
00:27:43extraterritorial persecution, the overwhelming
00:27:47condemnation of the world in New York is not just a diplomatic
00:27:50triumph, but the confirmation of a historical
00:27:54legitimacy that no unilateral measure can erase.
00:27:56In everyday life, where record figures of affliction translate
00:28:00into material deficiencies and uncertainty, the collective
00:28:04response continues to be resistance and the ability
00:28:08to overcome adversity. The Caribbean
00:28:11nation does not give in to economic punishment nor does it renounce its
00:28:14inalienable right to build its own destiny without
00:28:18tutelage or external pressures. Every daily
00:28:21effort reaffirms that the dignity of a country does not enter into any forced
00:28:25negotiation table. History shows that attempts to
00:28:29break a society through systematic deprivation
00:28:33always clash with the integrity of those who defend their sovereignty
00:28:37as an inalienable principle.
00:28:39In the face of the sustained attempt to impose collapse, Cuba ratifies that
00:28:42independence is not conditioned or subjected to the dictates of any
00:28:46power, and that is why we put the point there.
