1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,440
Speaker 1: I was so thrilled last night to listen to John

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:09,559
Speaker 1: Dickersons with with Steve Colbert, and I really can't say

3
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 1: enough about John Dickerson slicing and dicing is the chief

4
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 1: political correspondent at CBS and all that they're doing with

5
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 1: the nightly news here in the future and joining us now.

6
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: Margaret Brennan and knows John Dickerson so well. I'm absolutely fascinated.

7
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 1: Margaret Brennan of our CBS regroups off of the first

8
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: Tuesday of November and reaches out to America with a

9
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: heritage of Walter Cronkite being Midwest, not being New York.

10
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,560
Speaker 1: How will CBS reach out to America in the coming

11
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: days and weeks.

12
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 2: Well, on Sunday, we'll try to understand what's coming next.

13
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 2: So we will speak to Bill Haggerty, the Center from Tennessee,

14
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 2: who is widely expected to become a cabinet member and

15
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 2: a future Trump administration. He was a US ambassador to

16
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 2: Japan for Donald Trump and the first term had a

17
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 2: role in the transition. We want to talk to him

18
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 2: about what reality looks like. You know, there's one thing

19
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 2: to say things on the campaign trail. There's another thing

20
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 2: when it comes to actual governance. But what is this

21
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 2: mandate that Republicans have with the Senate majority and possibly

22
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,839
Speaker 2: control of the House. What will it indicate for delivering

23
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 2: on some of the campaign promises.

24
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: I look at this, Margaret, and you know, everybody of

25
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 1: all different persuasions just sort of thunderstruck by how America spoke.

26
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: What have you learned in your reporting from your correspondence

27
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: in the last four days. What sticks out to you

28
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: is that one conversation you had with the CBS team.

29
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 2: You know, Anthony's Toronto, our head of Elections and Surveys.

30
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 2: I've fought back a few times to things he said

31
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 2: in recent weeks that were, in hindsight, clear warnings for Democrats,

32
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 2: like they had topped out their support on the issues

33
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 2: of reproductive healthcare, states democracy, they weren't growing support. He

34
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 2: consistently for months was telling us it's the economy, economy, economy,

35
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 2: and inflation very much in Trump for we talked about

36
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 2: a scenario with a Republican wave, but you know, the

37
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 2: polling bill was showing this race gone either way. I

38
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 2: think we all Republicans as party members themselves, were surprised

39
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 2: at how much they had grown support among men of color,

40
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 2: Latino men in particular. We already knew they had the

41
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 2: white working class vote, that that you know, so called

42
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 2: bro vote had gone to the Trump team a long

43
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 2: time ago. But I think we need to talk more

44
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 2: about that disconnect. We've try to do it on face

45
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 2: the nation, but the disconnect between telling people the economic

46
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 2: data is good and that not necessarily translating to it's

47
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 2: going to get three books right your life. Margaret, let's

48
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 2: me more reportings be done on that.

49
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: Let me bring in my colleague David David with Margaret Brenton.

50
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 3: Margaret, nice to speak with you. And you mentioned Bill Haggerty,

51
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 3: and you know, I think of him on the Senate

52
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 3: Banking Committee, which of course has been chaired for these

53
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 3: last few years by Shared Brown of Ohio. And I'm

54
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 3: curious to hear your perspective on sort of how the

55
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 3: shape of the Senate changes in light of what we

56
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 3: had happened this week. So Shared Brown of course no

57
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 3: longer on that committee, no longer in the Senate. What

58
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 3: did you hear from miss McConnell yesterday as he took

59
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 3: that victory lap and sort of what's your sense of

60
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 3: the direction of this Republican Senate and sort of how

61
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 3: it buffets whatever agenda President Trump puts forward.

62
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 2: Well, you know, I think we're seeing have been in

63
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 2: the midst of a massive realignment. So like these old

64
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 2: in terms of Republican and Democrats really aren't traditional conservative

65
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 2: any longer. Shared Brown was one of those examples of

66
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 2: somebody who you know, trying to straddle the divide in

67
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 2: many ways, as Democrat lost that seat to a Colombian

68
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 2: American Bernie Uh you know there in Ohio and so

69
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 2: together Ohio seat will become empty soon as Jade Vans

70
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 2: moves into the vice see but look that that we're

71
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 2: going to watch this race for control and Senate leadership

72
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 2: right passing the tour mean that this is their quote

73
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 2: unquote the place where stupid stuff goes to die. Does

74
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 2: it become a fast track for for Trump policies? Will

75
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 2: it be that bar Mitch McConnell had it be Margaret.

76
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: I want to jump in, Margaret jump in. We're having

77
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: trouble with the audio. You're up in your helicopter and

78
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: it's just now working out that right now. But Margaret

79
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,479
Speaker 1: Brennan is the host of Face Nation. Look for that

80
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: in the CBS Television Networks Sunday Morning. Listen to facin
