Speaker 1: I was so thrilled last night to listen to John
Speaker 1: Dickersons with with Steve Colbert, and I really can't say
Speaker 1: enough about John Dickerson slicing and dicing is the chief
Speaker 1: political correspondent at CBS and all that they're doing with
Speaker 1: the nightly news here in the future and joining us now.
Speaker 1: Margaret Brennan and knows John Dickerson so well. I'm absolutely fascinated.
Speaker 1: Margaret Brennan of our CBS regroups off of the first
Speaker 1: Tuesday of November and reaches out to America with a
Speaker 1: heritage of Walter Cronkite being Midwest, not being New York.
Speaker 1: How will CBS reach out to America in the coming
Speaker 1: days and weeks.
Speaker 2: Well, on Sunday, we'll try to understand what's coming next.
Speaker 2: So we will speak to Bill Haggerty, the Center from Tennessee,
Speaker 2: who is widely expected to become a cabinet member and
Speaker 2: a future Trump administration. He was a US ambassador to
Speaker 2: Japan for Donald Trump and the first term had a
Speaker 2: role in the transition. We want to talk to him
Speaker 2: about what reality looks like. You know, there's one thing
Speaker 2: to say things on the campaign trail. There's another thing
Speaker 2: when it comes to actual governance. But what is this
Speaker 2: mandate that Republicans have with the Senate majority and possibly
Speaker 2: control of the House. What will it indicate for delivering
Speaker 2: on some of the campaign promises.
Speaker 1: I look at this, Margaret, and you know, everybody of
Speaker 1: all different persuasions just sort of thunderstruck by how America spoke.
Speaker 1: What have you learned in your reporting from your correspondence
Speaker 1: in the last four days. What sticks out to you
Speaker 1: is that one conversation you had with the CBS team.
Speaker 2: You know, Anthony's Toronto, our head of Elections and Surveys.
Speaker 2: I've fought back a few times to things he said
Speaker 2: in recent weeks that were, in hindsight, clear warnings for Democrats,
Speaker 2: like they had topped out their support on the issues
Speaker 2: of reproductive healthcare, states democracy, they weren't growing support. He
Speaker 2: consistently for months was telling us it's the economy, economy, economy,
Speaker 2: and inflation very much in Trump for we talked about
Speaker 2: a scenario with a Republican wave, but you know, the
Speaker 2: polling bill was showing this race gone either way. I
Speaker 2: think we all Republicans as party members themselves, were surprised
Speaker 2: at how much they had grown support among men of color,
Speaker 2: Latino men in particular. We already knew they had the
Speaker 2: white working class vote, that that you know, so called
Speaker 2: bro vote had gone to the Trump team a long
Speaker 2: time ago. But I think we need to talk more
Speaker 2: about that disconnect. We've try to do it on face
Speaker 2: the nation, but the disconnect between telling people the economic
Speaker 2: data is good and that not necessarily translating to it's
Speaker 2: going to get three books right your life. Margaret, let's
Speaker 2: me more reportings be done on that.
Speaker 1: Let me bring in my colleague David David with Margaret Brenton.
Speaker 3: Margaret, nice to speak with you. And you mentioned Bill Haggerty,
Speaker 3: and you know, I think of him on the Senate
Speaker 3: Banking Committee, which of course has been chaired for these
Speaker 3: last few years by Shared Brown of Ohio. And I'm
Speaker 3: curious to hear your perspective on sort of how the
Speaker 3: shape of the Senate changes in light of what we
Speaker 3: had happened this week. So Shared Brown of course no
Speaker 3: longer on that committee, no longer in the Senate. What
Speaker 3: did you hear from miss McConnell yesterday as he took
Speaker 3: that victory lap and sort of what's your sense of
Speaker 3: the direction of this Republican Senate and sort of how
Speaker 3: it buffets whatever agenda President Trump puts forward.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, I think we're seeing have been in
Speaker 2: the midst of a massive realignment. So like these old
Speaker 2: in terms of Republican and Democrats really aren't traditional conservative
Speaker 2: any longer. Shared Brown was one of those examples of
Speaker 2: somebody who you know, trying to straddle the divide in
Speaker 2: many ways, as Democrat lost that seat to a Colombian
Speaker 2: American Bernie Uh you know there in Ohio and so
Speaker 2: together Ohio seat will become empty soon as Jade Vans
Speaker 2: moves into the vice see but look that that we're
Speaker 2: going to watch this race for control and Senate leadership
Speaker 2: right passing the tour mean that this is their quote
Speaker 2: unquote the place where stupid stuff goes to die. Does
Speaker 2: it become a fast track for for Trump policies? Will
Speaker 2: it be that bar Mitch McConnell had it be Margaret.
Speaker 1: I want to jump in, Margaret jump in. We're having
Speaker 1: trouble with the audio. You're up in your helicopter and
Speaker 1: it's just now working out that right now. But Margaret
Speaker 1: Brennan is the host of Face Nation. Look for that
Speaker 1: in the CBS Television Networks Sunday Morning. Listen to facin
Speaker 1: Nation Sunday two pm in New York, Washington, ninety two
Speaker 1: nine FM in Boston. Facination This Sunday at two. I'm
