competing for that seat it could be weeks before that is completely counted so it just gives you a sense of where america is when you pull back from this the fact that there are razor thin margins in so many cases so many races it shows just how close these races have gotten and why every single vote matters can really help you with the latest from the white house kimberly thank you. and staying in the u.s. president trump has been attending the investiture of the new u.s. supreme court judge brett kavanaugh there was heightened security at the event after his controversial confirmation process which brought up allegations of sexual misconduct supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg was absent from the ceremony that's because she's in hospital after fracturing three ribs in a full eighty five year old is one of four members of the nine strong hort seen as liberals if she had to be replaced that trump is expected to appoint another conservative judge shifting the court further to the right. still to come in

western. province in july those are the top stories more news in half an hour coming up next the stream discusses the midterms. what do the results of the u.s. midterms mean for democracy across the country on today's show we read i think the u.s. immigrant part of a special town hall but we also want to hear your thoughts so send us your comments to be at twitter am to two.

single party control over the u.s. government has ended after the democratic party made solid gains in the house of representatives in choose a sum of ten elections the result is a stinging blow to donald trump at the end of a series of races widely seen as a referendum on his presidency yet a much heralded democratic blue wave didn't quite materialize republicans held on to several government offices and even tighten back grip on the set it has what president trump and other major political leaders said about the results hopefully we can all work together next year to continue delivering for the american people including on economic growth infrastructure trade lowering the cost of prescription drugs and stark contrast to the g.o.p. congress a democratic congress will be there with transparency and openness. and that the public can see what's happening and how we have sex and that they can weigh in

the american people have given us divided government which they've given us most of the time since world war two they seem to like about a government and i think the message is figure out what you can do together and do it. political pundits are already trying to make sense of where the u.s. is now heading in the run up to the twenty twenty presidential election but what about regular people we're joined again by our panel of immigrants the u.s. and their family members to get their thoughts first up we have jeannie when she's president of voice of vietnamese americans and she came to the u.s. as a refugee at the end of it now war throwing out some marilyn is just you seeing he's founder of american sikhs for trump and is an entrepreneur who immigrated to the u.s. from india thirty years ago from albuquerque new mexico we have a compass a gora she is a patient educator who worked as an oral surgeon in mexico she's joined by a husband add to the sagada and he is a veteran and a pistol instructor with the national rifle association in minneapolis minnesota we

have aids he is an accountant an immigrant from pakistan is joined by his daughter summer she's studying public health policy at the university of minnesota she was born in the us and we have seven and she joins us from portland oregon is president of the republican muslim coalition she immigrated to the united states from pakistan hello everybody it is good to have you reunited again so it's been a year it's been a lot of yeah lots of things to talk about i just went through your various twitter accounts i found the it's donald j. trump this was from november the six demand of success tonight thank you to all seventy you going to own to posting that one to retreating at one. well we won the senate and we've strengthened republican hold on coming confirmation hearings and a lot of hopefully we have another supreme court nominee i think it will go through much smoother now that we have control of the senate so are you feeling that you're

doing so much winning right now as a republican. not so much that we were disappointed to see us lose a few races in the house and obviously democrats stepped up their game but it gives us more opportunity to work much more harder for them coming next election gini you were smiling i mean you're looking positively radiant today is that because of the midterm election really i was very happy that the democrats took over the house because and this now we have some check and balance we need a lot of check and balance it would be better if the senate all still was controlled by the democrats but the given is that we can't we couldn't we didn't so for now hope that the democrats will move on and speak for the people and help with all of the things that the concerns that people are concerned self especially gun violence just happened last night we need more bad the gun controls in relations

reform we need that and then we also need to make sure that the deficit the budget deficit change and we should. move the. budget more to what the poor people at the id i think put it all see is that just being to cut the tax cut for the one that said and more some of that to help you've got a whole plan ahead and it's only three days now wow i need to raise the minimum wage for teachers but i think many older people and the poor very concerned by the social security cuts and also maybe care maybe get happening because it's already been set by mitch mcconnell you know it's interesting that you mention the checks and balances because. there are people on the field exactly the same way and just say heard you've been there so i'm going to give this one to you this is the on twitter who says the midterm elections were like a break applied to a runaway train it was a relief to many it showed that

a check and balance system still exists in the country and not just employment and money and economy they aren't everything respect is a most important chesty. the midterm election are going to be first of all i was not. a tremendous victory it was like present from state it was almost a complete with tree for the republicans this was historical that the senate in the senate republicans did at forty five more seats all the three important states on high all florida and georgia which are very crucial for the two thousand and twenty lections were retained by the republicans and also the house it was as was again you know the democrats did get the house but if you go back historically president obama at this time it lost sixty eight seats whereas

republicans have only. done it with twenty eight seats so overall it was a good mandate for the president because whenever all the candidates that he supported did very well he out of his eleven can it is that he supported nine one it was a clear mandate for a president from support and i think democrats getting the how else will bring all the both both the leaders leader pelosi and present trump has. have you know talked about uniting and working in a bipartisan way but what democrats have done in past two years it seems very hard i think that what they'll do is this chart. and all kind of. throwing monkey wrenches and it will be a. dead log i don't think we're going to get much from the government in the next two years just checking with

a cigar half back and. only make i do drowning in a blue wave and me and mine are. yeah. you know i got a hunch was a shame i really swimming in it and then anthony's probably drowning and at my right he confessed. well i think that i could see that the country won because it was a show like a really prove that the citizen is interesting in chance something in the country because they don't like the way that it's running now and in principle only in here in new mexico you know that was running for the republican governor there are now we get democrat and imus all the position we're getting for a democrat. of their. position one in their blue sacks so we are happy for that man and me. very depressed actually. i should not know depression this is an empathetic chuckle

go ahead i mean you know it's a roller coaster are you throwing up on your how to step. no we're going to start to climb again you know i think that i say you know i was very disappointed with blue when it really hit mexico as hard as it is now all of our congressional delegation now is going to be democrat that's disappointing so we don't have any republicans representing us in washington d.c. anymore that's that's part of it the partners the governor that came in very staunch liberal talking about additional gun laws and everything else like that and jeanne you don't understand but one thing is gun laws additional gun owners are going to help anything because the the legal people are already a pain the law is needed it's not gun laws we need we need people laws we need judges and stuff that are there that will go out there and do something with these

people we don't need open doors or revolving doors and that's the problem but be democrat these not just about it guns you saw they're going to that we need to think about you know immigration economy here out education so it's not just to go in spite to put republicans they think that there are other points about democrats that they they can now improve is that in your mexico at all the state these democrats not by right here you're saying that it is not just about the the gun issue and we just got a tweet on that but i'm going to tease our audience and save it for a little later in the conversation because i still want to stay on the midterms now we haven't heard from santa a.j. and i want to share what several people know it was their highlight from these elections this is she said a run on to handle who said during the selection female candidates smashed more barriers and history and the results showed. that when women rewrite the rules it works we reached record breaking numbers ninety five women were elected to the

house and the previous record was eighty four so for abysmal eyes ation of what that looks like here are just a few of those women are in iranian american muslim native american gay african-american latino american you can see some of the groundbreakers right bear we actually got a video comments on the same point so i want to share it with you because this was a highlight for kate gormley had a listen women are role models for our daughters and granddaughters and important leaders for our country having our her number of women running for and when elected office is going to have an immediate impact and we may see a multiplier effect down the road and that's a good thing for our democracy because a team that works together with varied experiences and perspectives is smarter and can accomplish more our nation needs the talent and energy of all americans whether they're math or women whiny black or brown so

a record number of women running was that highlight for you some of oh absolutely in my own home state you showed our rep ill one old are so happy so happy that she will be representing us and across the country there were firsts in many states first native congress won't women and native muslim women muslim women and muslim earners senators women senators women governors it was it was incredible to see. did i say what i'm thinking about is people listening to you because you would have been in the states where i would have his all over the world and then trying to think well what difference does it make what difference do these election results make in every day life so what's happened in this past week what's going to be different for you. well i think one of the things that we have

seen as in minnesota in particular we have huge number of a great diversity people that we elected a diverse people just like we were talking about these women and and there's african-americans there is our governor's running mate is a native american first time a native american oneness. statewide election and so what this would do i think is bring in the perspective from the diverse groups that knowledge join. the legislative bodies and and hopefully they will talk about some of the issues of people that have been neglected in the past. doesn't what you highlight. for you what did you say can repeat it now what with what's been your highlight for me tamarac sense was the family going their own learning and yet

what what what if you got a better wake up in the morning thinking now and now i'm in a good mood about this well we are going to go ahead with the make america great agenda that's been going on with. i don't think this midterm elections make any difference to the gender of president trump what it might do is it might now. if if the if the democrats in the house. are not working in a bipartisan way present trunk and blame everything on the house and say hey you know i tried like the health care like the immigration bills. you can always blame the house for not passing those but if the house works with him i think it could be a good thing in prison trump can take credit for that i think there are more better chances of the immigration bill and the health care bill now going through reform

and getting passed because now the democrats really control of the house and if they don't take it seriously if they don't do anything about it then they will be blamed after two years so i think it has a positive way that maybe you know some of these issues are might be resolved so i from for me i was very happy that we have many vietnamese americans came out and run for the election and many of them got elected so across the country we have now eight bit emmy's americans over the got elected we have one a vietnamese american congresswoman reelected in from freida she's from the democratic by the and for that was a has been a very republicans so stephanie mophie was reelected we were very proud of that across the nation we also have a term when i get elected in massachusetts house delegate from essex and then we also have.

jeanette and we are from california many are the difference do you think that will make i think the policy is going forward in the us yes i think there is the wave and the need that oh these people are normal people who did not see that running before and now they coming out and they will make a difference president term should have thought sing it twice before he does anything else now because these are the people. and bring the names the voice of the people in these refugees we were refugees and the people are very upset of how refugees being treated. across the border even that was the caravan being mischaracterized president. very much because we can remember when we came out of the c. one hundred towns in the us and i traveling on this see will refugee little coming ashore and were you thinking that when you were voting early on this week many of

us many of these americans especially the younger ones voting thinking of that the human material aspect and that they were very upset when they heard the characterization of immigrants and refugees. because you're not the only one again jimmy your mind is on the same wavelength as so many of our community members because you talked about what you felt as you were going to the polls we got a video comment says our. new york's first undocumented lawyer and he told the story of what he was thinking about when he went to the polls what was on his mind in his heart and here's what he said. donald trump has created a climate of fear and hopelessness the white house has targeted not just undocumented immigrants but also children green card holders even u.s. citizens so this election is not just about a few policies or even comprehensive immigration reform this election is about restoring our values as a nation of immigrants so that everyone from around the world can still come here

and feel as inspired to pursue that american dream so my or i could see you nodding your head as say as i was talking there were you thinking. i'm angry with him and you know i think like a community we need to trust in our government and we need to be safe in our house and our and our a state and our country and like in the ground i can tell you even if you are serious and you feel like you have been in place that you don't be a step that put all this discrimination to the president a group because we can say with this speech that he is always stuck in a huge group that discrimination and a person that is this shift in a country can't do that because everybody is looking what is he saying even the key it's so it's like it's right there we need to keep talcum powder women about immigrants about their human rights so i don't agree with joanne i think you don't

know you know when you. say with my ex now hard women our children that has softened so what do you say about immigrants he's always been serious fans of legal immigration all you want to and you try to do well we may sound like a little rich and we all should be he's never going to get legal immigration and he has you can do one thing if you're said anything bad about children or immigrants you're just reading it to say if you know you're not doing it the characters you play out without facts you're just sick you were in yesterday's press conference president drum said everyone that you don't care you know it was that. same that that we might have said it's right at the lodge that we imagine that it's not just for our men less for the president he is the chaffed of this country sixty eight she's supposed to be the first person that we need to trust people don't trust and donald trump son i can see you are just looking on the edge of your c c

go ahead. you know. i just continue to think about this deportation camps and all the kiddos that are there and now i know that we had massive deportations during the obama era i understand that and i understand too that when you vote for a candidate you support a candidate that doesn't mean that you agree with everything that they do and i'm saying that for the obama administration i'm saying that for other administrations but kids being placed in deportation camps and being denied basic rights this is going to be plucked intergenerational trauma it doesn't and this year or in the next years this trauma and this pain continues on and hurts communities for the future so that is one fact i can give you the trumpet ministration is control it well i think juvenile offenders have been in there are many juveniles and detention all over the country for illegal crimes and other issues so you can't just say that

that was only because of president that our criminal justice system has punished a lot of young kids although i'm with you nobody i gree with me whatever criminal justice system is going to marry that's the main concern is a human in town going to saddle say your assets mean anything no no what i say i mean take the child do you know what i'm seven finish a sentence sure if a child commits a crime they will be punished for it and sadly they're probably these some of these children were brought here by their parents illegally and so the government didn't have any other option but to place them and the country and facilities and now they've been placed with foster care or other. accommodations i think you were talking about people go ahead with your sentence you want to tell us if an american citizen commits a crime the child in the second away when the when the parent is incarcerated and is put into foster care so why should the legal is going to be things. better u.s.

citizen if american citizen mugger does something wrong a child is taken away i hear that point giving i didn't hear your point earlier i had i think done a different way there are ways that you can be done to hide it either human and humanitarian aspects of the u.s. right now all over the world everybody looking up to us and they very concerned that we don't act with him and they tarion ask of values and the more. people rights. yesterday there were given what president trying to say you don't just let me just here let me just here just point through that. you know why do we treat the immigrants different than we do our ask you and that's what the people expect us to treat illegal immigrants differently than we treat americans and says if you commit it to commit
