midterm to wallace. me for binds agenda and us politics. this is inside story. ah . hello and welcome to the 2nd special edition of inside story from washington d. c. i'm paddock all hey. it was one of the most hotly contested and expensive elections and modern u. s. history with control of both sides of the congress on the line, millions of americans went out and cast their ballad. in tuesday's mid term elections. the big discussion points, the economy, immigration, abortion rights and democracy itself. now republicans expected a red wave of victory to sweep across the country. but democrats, they had other plans taking the key senate race flipping in pennsylvania and winning many governorships. but control of the house of representatives may go to

the republicans, will have more with our guest on all of this in just a minute. but 1st, the special report from rosalind jordan a. it was billed as the red wave of 2022 republicans when a control of congress to become president jo widely's biggest political obstacle. but democrats of won several important races. mark kelley of arizona was re elected to the senate. he'll be joined by pennsylvania's john settlement who overcame both a stroke and stiff competition from the celebrity dr. mehmet, on. i'm proud of what we ran on health care is a fundamental human right in st. louis that it should all be there for you. the midterms came after months of republicans accusing democrats of plotting

to steal the vote. despite fears of potential disruptions at polling stations, nothing significant was reported. the president spent tuesday evening congratulating democrats who won their races, and he urged people still waiting to vote in western states to stay in law. democrats hoped died early though in florida, where republicans now control all of the top seat. we will never ever surrender to the woke bob corridor as well. oh, or country flounders, due to failed leadership in washington. florida is on the right track. former president donald trump promised he would take credit for any republican victories. and he did just that. i wonder what biden would do right down, but we, one of the candidates trump endorsed, did not thank him during his victory speech. now the people of ohio have given us

a job and what we need to do over the next couple of years over the next 6 years for the full, the full length of the senate term, whoever's in the majority, whatever the president looks like. we have a very simple job to do it, so go to work every single day and fight for the people of ohio. let's get america back on track. house minority leader kevin mccarthy has long dreamed of taking the speakers gavel from nancy pelosi but voters may not be ready for that. rosalind jordan, l 0 ah, let's now bring in our guests. joining me here in washington dc, we've christine shen. she is the executive director of the asian pacific islander american vote. christine served on the executive committee of the leadership conference on civil and human rights. adam goodman is a republican strategist and edward r. murrow senior fellow at tufts university. fletcher ad anesha cross is a democratic strategist and a political commentator,

a warm welcome to the program. so i want to start with us. this is at if the house is, if the republicans take the house and democrats are celebrating. so i think people across the globe are going to wait, if you're going to lose the house, why are you celebrating? well, here's why obama in his midterm. he lost 63 seats bush. last 30, we're talking maybe. i mean, as we said here, we don't know, but it looks like it's not going to be the red wave. so adam, i want to start with you. you said there was going to be a red. that's to red wave, a red su nami. well, i was right except it not nationally. as it turned out, it was, it was all that in florida. you'd cited the stats up front and you're, you're totally right. the average. i was like 36 seats, turn over them in the mid term in the modern since they're sort of walks right. okay. so you say, well why? we are in a whole different ball game right now. and the reason is that we have

a vote by mail and built by mail has made a midterm, a presidential level that, that makes sense. so usually we say off, you know, where it has some time off here we have a mid term, not many people are going to show up, you know, and that, that usually advantages the out party to party. it doesn't control the white house or, and, or one or both members and the lauser. let me just explain for viewers who his voting in america hasn't always been easy, right? because often you have to wait line for hours and he takes a commitment. so that's been ballots change every it does. and what that did is it brought younger voters in because younger voters, we always, you know, and i've been in the business, you know, nearly 40 years. we were kind of right that often the mid term people on voters under 30 not much to worry about. they generally don't turn up. they did torn up big by mail, og. and also that work when you, mike called, a casual voter one, what voters are that always the, all that civic and get civically engage. they also said, well cash all have to do is rob, something in the mail. i can be a part of the process. and the fall thing is, it's

a good comment on america that everybody wants to kind of be a part of the game. and i don't mean a game in a majority of way. they wouldn't want to be involved. they want their voice to be heard. and now a midterm, which again, used to be a, it kind of passover between presidential campaigns, is now a major league event in america. and we saw that last night. i me sure. what do you make of this? the turn out and i was struck by the videos of the kids in college. they were waiting in line for hours, but it was driving. it was exciting. i think that well, fraternities and sororities, specifically, those were the divine i shout out to them. have been doing a lot of recruitment and a lot of work on college campuses. the c h be seized by 9 black, historically black fraternities and sororities. and in addition to a lot of advocacy groups that are led by millennials and jen z, that are out here really making sure that they get this population to care about the election process to care about policies and advocacy and to move beyond social media advocacy. everybody tweets, everybody's on tick, tock, tick, tock,

doesn't vote. tweeting doesn't vote, holding or sign outside doesn't vote. you have to vote. but i do want to step back to something that was just said because it kinda made it sound like malan balloting . was new. me that male and balanced for generations in this country. what we saw was during the pandemic, that was more of a push to do it to do it earlier. historically speaking, male imbalance were used by people who are in the military who want to build back home. they were used by people in rural areas because it was harder to get to a polling place. now we see that expansion. we see it where a lot of minority voters are using them. a lot of inner city voters are using them . people are using them for their convenience. they did that during the pandemic, that really kind of shifted upwards just because they didn't want to be in these long lines or risking cove it. but since then we've still seen that uptake. well, christina, i wanted to ask you, what does this mean using for the presidential election? because for as long as i've been covering politics, which is not as long as you close. as long as i've been covering politics, it was the set, the working class voter voted for the democrats, the college educated suburbanites. they voted for the republicans. it is like

somebody put the democrat demographics in a blender, and it's just been spinning around for 8 years. and like things are shooting out when you don't know where everyone's going to land. what is going on? well, the demographics have constantly been changing. you look at the census 2020 you seeing the increase from the asian american and pacific islander and the latino community is growing there, growing in states that were not played before, but now they are. so you look at georgia, you look at nevada, arizona, pennsylvania. right. and i think going, going back to the early though, you know, for the asian american community, we know that in 2020, almost 3 out of 4 asian voters voted early or by mail, that was the most preferred way. and even for 2022, we know that 26 percent actually chose actually increase their participation from 2018 by early voting. so that has actually increase our participation. and it's also for immigrant voters. it's also about be able sit at home with your family to

actually get the translation assistance actually go over your ballot and be able to not feel pressure to actually go to the ballad and be under a time clock to actually catch your ballot. i think what are the issues that our audience cares most about. and it was fascinated to be that this was such a focus worldwide. because people kept saying the president kept saying, this is about the future of democracy where democracy survive in america. so it will send a ton of time on this, but briefly to each of you, what does this, this result or what we think the results going to be and the massive turn out. what does that say to you about? where is democracy? ok, i don't think that we can judge it by in democracy is okay, but we can say that a lot of americans rejected a. b autocratic lea, a lot of americans reject it, what trump represented a lot of americans rejected the kind of candidates that trump put forth in large part because they were election deniers, open election deniers,

even after court after court. many trump appointed judges said that there was no election broad, these people still went out and said it, and the best edge is january 6th. how you know, how that american terrorism event really is still reflected in our society. and we've seen the outgrowth of a lot of domestic terrorism, best violence. we've seen the anti semitism rise across social media. there are a lot of people in this country who are quite frankly, uncomfortable with that. a think that in those candidates that seemingly represented or were too close and coaxing that type of behavior. there was a large rejection of that at i think the biggest issue in america's intolerance and across all aisles. and you know how we tend to model ourselves when for kids are by what we see from our parents and older people. i think when you see political leaders actually now you just leaders, politicians, both sides of the aisle who were not behaving the way we thought they think they should behave in bringing serious issues to the for not trying to one up each other

. not trying to tear each other down, actually get something done. the intolerance is, begins with the people in the process. and i, i think that there's anything we take away from this. there's actually some hope and this was on, on the reason that there's going to be a close margin most likely when it's all said and done in the house of representatives. and it just assume that the projections as we're seeing from a b, c and others are going to be that republicans probably take it by an eyelash. right . and the senate is going to be somewhat split. there was an opportunity in what they called a lame duck session. that's the period between the selection and the, the next congress in january. where a lot of things could usually don't get on. there might be a lot of things to get done and will get done because the smaller you have a majority, the more likely it is that and with both parties in play, more likely that you actually will be incented to get things done. it's an opportunity for america to take a step forward as opposed to be paralyzed, but what they think is a grid locking lug, christine, i am going to get you on

a 2nd, but i want to challenge you on that a little bit because this both sides argument is, i don't know if we're there still, i mean, can cite the democrats that you think is inciting violence or help me with that. it's less about, it's a great question. so let's violence, it's inciting, one way of looking at the world. and i, i think the bell, well i know, i know there are 7 republican to inside and violence. nancy pelosi husband literally got back in his which by the way is horrible. and it's another sign of the times. but it's not just about the political process. it's everybody in america where the world nerves to have conversations like this that are open, where we share information, we're ok if we disagree with something, but we're not saying okay, how do i take advantage of this out a way again, one up, somebody that has to be changed in america, but it's a political leaders in this country are not going to take that as a q. they're not doing it. i think it's asking a lot at the people in america sunday are expected to do just that. you went away

and i know you're, it's hard for me to accept. just measuring is equal because we literally had people who have instigated violence and spoken out about certain things or quoted certain things that donald trump said in the process them instigating such violence that up to and includes a tear plot, a kidnapping and murder plot for a sitting us governor in, in gretchen whitmore up to and including what we just all happened with. nancy pelosi, the husband, all the threats that alexandria kathy cortez god and even on the day of january 6 where people talked about murdering and raping her. this is coming from conservatives. this is coming from people who bought into the trump playbook. that is not seen on the other side. so we think we have to be very, we have this memorization and very real because there is no equivalent here. well see that's, that's the problem. so i hear what you're saying. but the problem you said you're, you're saying is, is coming from one side. i ta gorly be reject that. i think that would happen in the capital in january 6 was horrific. we should pray that never happens again,

that's a society that's starting to the, the tear apart a bit. but when you start to point the finger of blame at one part of society say that's the reason why i point, actually, okay. but beyond the, beyond the will call the insurrection is because that was horrible, inexcusable, but we have to have a more tolerant conversation that there was things about the right and the left that you like and don't like, and the be able to discuss that and share that without challenging with the shortcuts, you're shocked. oh, well that means you. you subscribe to the insurrection. that means you subscribe to what? the threat that was you're talking about with governor whitmore michigan horrific wrong, and the attack on on lucy's husband. horrific. that's terrible. but if you are going to point out that it does say okay, and the reason for that is the 50 percent of america over there. the conversation in america stops. there is no enlightened conversation, and that's what i'm hoping in this divided congress. it sounds odd and

counterintuitive. i'm thinking is an opportunity for us to have that conversation. everyone now has get into game. and i think that maybe not maybe a chance for all of us to talk through the serious issues of the day that we tend to shortcut. and we tend to cheapen and we tend to get nowhere within one more thing. one thing that comes out the election, people want to get things done. if there was a rule message, can we get stuff done? it both sides haven't skin in that game. let's do that. and this show we can do that even with a divided house with a divided congress and even a divide house in terms of the people of america do that. we're on the road to recovery. what i think i hear you saying is that if we start to have the old school republicans and the old school democrats actually come together and reset the debate that maybe the crazies can that, that, the extremist, i grew up around a lot of those people. wonderful people, democrats and republicans from every walk of life, it was an honor and privilege to serve. and they acted that way. the active with

honor. we don't see that today. return to that absolutely will make a difference. so christina, didn't democracy survive? i deliver another day, i think it did just because the growth of new people, new voters entering into this election, the growth of all the different demographics participating in that. but i think you're also going to see a larger number of independent voters, right? because there's not enough information about what truly are you standing for, what kind of solutions are you bringing up because lot of the tactics have been used during these campaigns has been mudslinging and miss and disinformation, which is also a whole nother topic that we could talk about that, you know, is, is very distracting. when you know i'm dealing with voters that are 1st time voters, some of them are limited english proficient when we contact them, they are asking us, what do you have more information about the candidates? they don't have that basic information because it's not being translated or the

parties are not effectively reaching out to this new base of voters. i'm so enjoying this conversation because we came into it like we're looking at the numbers game, right. what i'm hearing from you is a completely different take from all 3 of you is that maybe this resets the ugliness, right? and i think that is not anything i expected to hear from you. but i do want to talk again because this isn't international channel. there's concern if republicans take the house. and one of the things that both i heard from republican and democrat in lasha we did is that it's harder for kevin mccarthy to rule if he only gets 5. because then the marjorie taylor group means the jim jordan's. they can hold hostage at everything. and he, kevin mccarthy doesn't really have a record of going over and scoop it up a handful of democrats. so they're going to play. it's going to get it if, unless your predictions are right and we return to a new normal like it used to be,

it can get very ugly. so one of the biggest questions the world has is cuz mccarthy, kevin mccarthy, the like least next speaker of how said, oh, we're gonna cut back on ukraine aid and he said a lot of members, so that does a good cut i believe even get reduced. it's not going to get cut, we've heard from him as well as some other i would consider extreme commoners on the right about basically reducing 8 or completely eradicating aid to ukraine. partially because to a certain swapping the american public, they what that because of the inflationary cost, because they see money going to ukraine, that they don't believe is that they believe could be used better. you live here in america. i'm the isolationist posture. of many americans is that something that came from trump ism, they've been like that for a while, but i don't think that they're the republicans are going to get a sizable enough lead in the house to be able to make that type of decision. and that's one of the things i'm the most thankful for. so what do you say? did you want to go? actually this would be right. i agree with you. i actually think that republicans,

we support the ukraine, but they're not, it's not gonna be what they see to be a blank check. they're going to ask for some accountability for the funding and everything else. and you're right, because there are all these other priorities in america it's, it's a difficult sell, frankly. yes, we support the people, ukraine, it's horrible with putin is doing, etc. on the other hand, we have so much we need to take care of and say street art, we will depletion region as it is. it's a more difficult, more nuanced decision. and i think the republican house is gonna be right on the, the hot plate there early on. several of yeah, republicans are really angry at donald trump right now. and they, i mean to the commentators remember, he said i could shoot someone in 5th avenue and get away with it. and pretty much he's like, had insurrection to impeachment still the leader of the party. ben shapiro, who is a, our audience might not know he's very conservative. he treated out the donald trump was a major drag on the republicans from his text to his antics. trump picked bad candidates and then proceeded to make a word, i can't say on television, on the republicans who lost and didn't sufficiently bend the knee. this will have

2020. this will have a 2024 impact. so to each, each of you is trumped to some dead. i mean we did have a 150 election deniers that actually one, there are elections so them is alive and well it just can't stand with trump. we're thing trump is i'm take off with people like ron descent is who is a smarter, more strategic, younger version of donald trump, like he took the playbook and he's just running it a lot better there. i think that they're going to be several people who will learn from that. we know how, how much that when game was or get was in florida around to say it is literally a playbook that is quite similar to what i was trying to do in 2016 before he went kind of crazy with him trying to tell me yet but i think that what we're going to see is someone who is about to he's moving control fast. and that's a difficult thing for donald trump because he wants to be the king make. and if anything, this election cycle has proven that he is not,

and that there is another era parent and it is not donald trump. and the public party, quite frankly, has wanted to move beyond him since january 6th. they wanted somebody who was able to pull in the types of crowds and types of groups that he did because he was able to extend the reach of the republican party to a certain extent. they just don't want to come along with donald trump baggage. see, but here's the thing and if i don't see the base abandoning him. yeah. that, that, that's, that's, that's real to the base is pretty rock solid. in some ways behind trump, he did not have a good night. i mean, no one can say for present at a wonderful midterm, it was a tough night. and there's something else on the right, come from florida, and you talk about governance chances. he's doing something as in no one's playbook is not in the box former presents playbook, and i don't see any other parallel with any other republican in the country. he is going ad governing florida and talking out on issues. and these seem know the things about education you taking on disney. none of these are in any playbook.

none of these came from an adviser 9. these came from a pollster. it came from him. he is a very highly educated. i think principal leader who said, i'm going to get the job done. i'm knock this what the criticisms and the small stuff that usually comes along with that and his message and his at shipments are so fresh is one of the things i think americans are looking for that. this is a kind of leadership we could really get behind and so forth in that for that reason, i think the former president has got go, i was hands full with someone that just feels like he's hit the ground and he's wanting. but here's the thing. i think in when we, cuz again, we're talking about this might be a come by a moment. we're all going to become normal again. rhonda santas has very extreme positions and he has the don't take a bill which means educators can't even mention the fact that there might be someone who's not straight. he has, he's gone after disney because he said they went after the don't say gable, which is a very anti republican thing, not known for going after corporations. right. that's not really their thing. he's

got after transgender students, and then he took a bus load of, of, of migrants from texas, a state, he's not the governor of and flew them to martha's vineyard to prove a point which actually likely will get them a visa. because that is likely means that he is engaged in human trafficking. so how do you get back to the republicans, hardy, that and the congress that you want? how do you do that if that guy, this guy is the standard bear? because that's not it. donald trump is no one to say, okay, well you hit the high points on the negative side of the line. achievement that can be star, at least give you like 10 seconds of that massive. it increases in education in protecting the environment, cru justice reform right out of the box and who is governor? he's one of the most popular governors before any of this happened and there is a sense of opportunity and freedom that people feel generally in florida. if you want a referendum on that, you want a number on that 900 point. when over charlie,

chris who is a long time, very popular a former governor of florida. so there's something that people are really liking the engagement with disney. the engagement disney is a sign of where the republican party is trying to move, by the way, which is away from being the party, a big business to the party to work in class. and to the point you were making earlier about the kind of the outreach into latinos and asian americans. yeah, that is the reason he had a huge so he is on to that faster and better, i think than any other republican leader right now. that's why he's worth while this has been such a great discussion. i enjoyed so much. so thanks to all of our guests, we have a dish across adam goodman and christine jen. and thank you for watching. you can see the program again any time by visiting our website, l 0 dot com. and for further discussion, go to our facebook page. that's facebook dot com, forward slash ag inside story. you can also join the conversation on twitter or handle as, as a j inside story for me to go have and the whole team here in dc. and uh huh. bye

for now. i ah, along with jumping to the street, when no topic is off the table, i don't think that anybody should be borne to privilege to dinner at the end of the day. we are the subjects of little family. that's one person's opinion, but what's yours? amplify your voice. the judicial system in mexico is incredibly weak and it is not just corruption. clara global audience becomes a global community. the scariest part of this moment in my country is this toys for a more weapon. the stream oh,

now jazeera in these turbulent times up front returns for a new season. join me, mark them on hill as we take on the big issues from the state of democracy around the world to the struggles faced by the under representing we will challenge the conventional wisdom up front on al jazeera, the climate has changed every year for millions of years, decades of talk, but little action is all about distract, create confusion to crate, smoke and mirrors the shocking truth about how the climate debate has been systematically subverted. the oil industry was a main bank roller or opposition to climate act. the campaign against the climate, do you think that's a bad thing more to to and did was here's a good thing. absolutely. on august eve, ah.
