controlling the congress. yes, republicans were hoping to secure an easy majority in the house. but democrats defied expectations and perform better and tuesday mid terms to wallace me for binds agenda and us politics. this is inside story. ah hello and welcome to this 2nd special edition of inside storage, washington dc. i'm paddick 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 ballot. 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. ah, not what it was billed as the red wave of 2022 republicans when a control congress asked to become president jo widely's biggest political obstacle . but democrats of want several important races. mark kelley of arizona is 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, applauding 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 now, 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's to 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 chen. 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 aneesha cross is a democratic strategist and a political commentator, a warm welcome to the program. so i want to start with us. this is 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 read wave. so adam, i want to start with you. you said there was going to be a read that's to read, waive a read stu nami. well, i was right. except it not nationally. as it turned out, it was, it was all that in florida. you cited the stats upright and you're,

you're totally right. the average, i was like $36.00 seats, turn over in the, in the mid term in the modern or since the 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 both by mail and both by mail has made a midterm, a presidential level that, that makes sense. so usually we say we're, it has some time off here we have a mid term, not many people are going to show up, you know, and that usually advantage is the out party to party that doesn't control the white house or, and, or one or both member in the house, or let me just explain for years who because voting in america hasn't always been easy, right? because often you have to wait in line for hours and it takes a commitment. so that's valid, valid change every it does. and what that did is it brought younger voters in because younger voters, we always, you know, i've been in the business, you know, nearly 40 years. we will kind of write that off in the mid term. people on the motors under 30 not much to worry about,

the generally don't turn up. they did turn up big by mail and also the work you might call the casual butter. one, what the voters are not always the, all that civic, engage the civically engage. they also said, well car, so i have to do is drop something in the mail. i can be a part of the process. and the final 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 way. they want to want to be involved. they want their voice to be heard . and now a mid term, which again, used to be a kind of a pass over between presidential campaigns, is now a major league event in america. and we saw that last night. i'm sure what do you make of this? that 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, fraternity that's a worry specifically, those were the by nice that out to them have been doing a lot of recruitment and a lot of work on college campuses. he makes me feel by 9 black historically black fraternities and sororities. 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 that because then kind of made it sound like male imbalance was new. me that 1000000 valid for generations in this country. what we saw was during the pandemic that was more of a push to do it and to do it earlier, historically speaking, male and balance were used by people who are in the military who wants to go 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. are risk getting probate. 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 democrats demographics and a blender, and it's just been spinning around for 8 years. and like things are shooting out and you don't know where everyone's going to land. what is going on with the demographics. have constantly been changing. you look at the sense of 2020, you seen 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 to 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 to 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 one of the issues that our audience cares most about, and it was fascinated to be that this was such a focus worldwide, because people kept the same. the president kept saying, this is about the future of democracy. will democracy survive in america? so i don't wanna spend 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 by democracy is ok, but we can't say that

a lot of americans rejected. autocratic leave. a lot of americans rejected. 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, and many trump appointed judges said that there was no election fraud. these people still went out and said it and the best, the just of january fixed 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, beth, and 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. and i 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. i think the biggest issue in america and tolerance and across all, lyles and you know what, how we tend to model ourselves when we're kids by what we see from our parents and

older people. i think when you see political leaders as united as leaders, politicians, both sides of the aisle who were not behaving the way we thought they think they should behave and 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 think that there's anything we take away from this. there's actually some hope and this will sound odd. 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 we probably probably take it by an eyelash. right . and the senate is going to be somewhat split. there is an opportunity in what they called a lame duck session at the period between this election and the, the next congress in january. where a lot of things usually don't get done. there might be a lot of things to get done and will get done because a smaller you have

a majority. the more likely it is that and with both parties and play more likely that you actually will be incented to get things done, is an opportunity for america to take a step forward as opposed to be paralyzed. but what they think is a great, a lot of interesting, i am going to get you on 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 i love bell. well i know, i know there are several republic into inside and violent. nancy pelosi husband literally got it 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, whether you were all nerves to have conversations like this that are open, where we share information, we're okay if we disagree with something, but we're not saying okay, how do we take advantage out of way again, one up,

somebody that has to be changed in america, but the 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 that the people in america suddenly are expected to do just that. you went away and i know you're, it's hard for me to accept the 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 with 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 wimmer up to and including what we just saw happen with nancy pelosi 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 conservative. this is coming from people who bought into the trump playbook. that is not seen on the other side. so i think we have to be very different. we have this conversation and very real because there is no equivalent

here. we'll see that 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 pad gorly be reject that. i think that would happen in the cap on january 6 was horrific. we've sure 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 are 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 whitner of michigan horrific wrong, and the attack on, on lucy's husband,

her rhythmic. that's terrible. but if you were going to point out that you say ok, 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 going into game. and i think that may be 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? 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 to do that, we're on the road to recovery. what i think i hear you 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 served, 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 lived another day, i think it did just because the growth of new people, new voters entering into this election, the growth of have done 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 i've been used during these campaigns has been mudslinging and mison disinformation, which is also a whole nother topic that we could talk about. that you know, is, is very distract

a, 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, well, 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 looking at, at the numbers game, right? but 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 is an international channel. there's concern if republicans take the house. and one of the things that both i heard from the republican and democrat in div lasha we did is that it's harder for kevin mccarthy to rule if he only gets 5. because then the margery taylor greens in the gym, jordan's,

they can hold hostage everything. and he, kevin mccarthy doesn't really have a record of going over and scooping 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 of like it used to be, it can get very ugly. so one of the biggest questions the world has is cars. could mccarthy, kevin mccarthy, like least next speaker. thou said, oh, we're gonna cut back on ukraine aid and he's at a lot of members, so that does a good cut. i believe it will get reduced. it's not going to cut. we've heard from him as well as some other. i would consider extreme commoners on the right, i'm about basically reducing 8 or completely eradicating aid to ukraine. partially because to a certain swapping the american public, they want 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. and the isolation is posture of many americans. is it 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? i actually, this is gabby, right? i agree with you. i actually thank that republicans. we support the ukraine, but they're not, it's not could be what they see it 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, et cetera. on the other hand, we have so much we need to take care of it as a stories aren't we? it was depletion region as it is. it's a more difficult, more nuanced decision. and i think the republican house is going to 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 on 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 now he's very conservative. he treated out the donald trump was a major drag on the republicans from his picks to his antics. trump picked bad candidates and then proceeded to move a word i can't say on television, on the republicans who lost and insufficiently bend. the ne, 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 their 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 round to st 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 for ron to say it is literally a playbook that it's quite similar to what i was trying to do in 2016 before he went kind of crazy with him to 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 republican 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 i don't see the base abandoning him. 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 the poor president had a wonderful midterm. it was a tough night. and there's something else on the right. i come from florida and you talk about governors, santa's, he's doing something as in no one's playbook is not in the former presence playbook,

and i don't see any other parallel with any other republican in the country. he is going at governing florida and talking out on issues and these seem, you know, the things about education you taking on disney. none of these are in any playbook . none of these came from an advisor. none of 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 in the small stuff that usually comes along with that and his message and his achievements 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 estate. 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 party 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 in 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,
