- BEEN HIGH, FOR THE ACTIVISTS. - YOU'VE BEEN FIGHTING FOR HUMAN - RIGHTS FOR DECADES. - YOU'VE HAD TO FLEE YOUR HOME. - WHY IS IT WORTH IT? - >> ( translated ): I WANT A - FREE NICARAGUA, A DEMOCRATIC - NICARAGUA, THAT RESPECTS - HUMAN RIGHTS. - MAY MY DAUGHTER AND SON LIVE IN - PEACE, IN FREEDOM. - THAT THEY CAN HAVE EDUCATION, - HEALTH, AND ALL THE RIGHTS THAT - EVERY PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE IN ANY - COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. - AND I REALLY BELIEVE THAT THIS - CAN BRING ABOUT PROFOUND CHANGES - IN OUR SOCIETY. - >> Schifrin: BUT RIGHT NOW, - CHANGE IS NOT COMING. - THIS WEEKEND, ORTEGA WILL - DECLARE VICTORY, AND TRY AND - ENTRENCH HIS RULE EVEN DEEPER. - FOR THE PBS NEWSHOUR, I'M - NICK SCHIFRIN. - >> Woodruff: DEMOCRATS AND - REPUBLICANS ACROSS THE COUNTRY - ARE EXAMINING TUESDAY NIGHT'S - SURPRISING ELECTION RESULTS, - WITH AN EYE TOWARD CRAFTING - THEIR STRATEGIES FOR NEXT YEAR'S - CRUCIAL MIDTERM ELECTION RACES. - MEANWHILE, DIGNITARIES IN - WASHINGTON TODAY GATHERED TO
- REMEMBER THE LIFE AND LEGACY OF - FORMER SECRETARY OF STATE - COLIN POWELL. - HERE TO ADD PERSPECTIVE ON - ALL THIS, AND MORE, ARE CAPEHART - AND ABERNATHY. - THAT'S JONATHAN CAPEHART, - COLUMNIST FOR THE "WASHINGTON - POST," AND GARY ABERNATHY, AN - OHIO-BASED WRITER AND - CONTRIBUTING COLUMNIST FOR THE - "WASHINGTON POST." - DAVID BROOKS IS AWAY. - IT'S VERY GOOD TO SEE BOTH OF - YOU AND, GARY, YOU'RE HERE FROM - OHIO, AND WE'RE GLAD TO SEE YOU. - >> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME. - >> Woodruff: WHAT A WEEK, AS - THE THREE OF US WERE JUST - SAYING. - JONATHAN CAPEHART, YOU'VE NOW - HAD THREE WHOLE DAYS TO THINK - ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED, WHAT THE - VOTERS SAID ON TUESDAY, AND WHAT - DO YOU THINK IT WAS? - >> SO I SPLIT IT BETWEEN - VIRGINIA AND NEW JERSEY, WITH - VIRGINIA, GOVERNOR ELECT GLENN - YOUNGKIN SHOWED IT'S POSSIBLE TO - EMBRACE TRUMP VOTERS BUT AT THE - SAME TIME KEEP DONALD TRUMP - PHYSICALLY OUT OF YOUR STATE. - HE SHOWED, AS I MENTIONED LAST - WEEK, THE ROLE OF PLAYING ON - RACIAL FEAR TO DRIVE PEOPLE OUT
- TO THE POLLS PARTICULARLY WHEN - IT COMES TO SO-CALLED CRITICAL - RACE THEORY. - IN NEW JERSEY, THE NEAR - POLITICAL DEATH EXPERIENCE OF - GOVERNOR PHIL MURPHY, DEMOCRAT, - TO MY MIND SHOWS THE BIGGER - PROBLEM THAT THE NATIONAL - DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAS. - GOVERNOR MURPHY IS POPULAR IN - NEW JERSEY, HE WAS RUNNING ON - THE PRESIDENT'S AGENDA, - BASICALLY, AND THE FACT THAT HE - SQUEAKED IT OUT SAYS THAT FOLKS - IN NEW JERSEY ARE TIRED, - SEEMINGLY, OF THE DYSFUNCTION OF - DEMOCRATS ARGUING WITH EACH - OTHER OVER BILLS, NOT BEING ABLE - TO SHOW THEY CAN GET ANYTHING - DONE. - >> Woodruff: WE SAW MORE OF - THAT TODAY. - >> STILL GOING ON TODAY. - >> Woodruff: RIGHT. - SO THE PARTY HAS TO FIGURE - OUT HOW TO REACH THOSE VOTERS - THAT GLENN YOUNGKIN REACHED, BE - ABLE TO TALK TO THEM, BUT ALSO - SHOW THE COUNTRY THAT THEY'RE - COMPETENT, THAT THEY ARE WORTHY - OF BEING ENTRUSTED WITH - GOVERNING. - >> Woodruff: GARY ABERNATHY,
- WHAT MESSAGES DO YOU THINK THE - VOTERS WERE -- - >> WELL, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF - DEMOCRATS ARE SAYING THAT THE - MESSAGE WAS WE NEED TO DO MORE, - WE HAVEN'T DONE THIS, WE WERE - PUNISHED FOR NOT PASSING THESE - BILLS WE PROMISED WE WERE GOING - TO PASS. - I THINK IT'S THE OPPOSITE. - I THINK VOTERS WERE SAYING WE - DON'T LIKE WHAT YOU'RE DOING. - NOW, THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT - THINGS HERE AND THE DEMOCRATS - TRY TO TIE THEM TOGETHER, THE - INFRASTRUCTURE BILL AND THE - BUILD BACK BETTER BILL, TWO - DIFFERENT THINGS. - THE INFRASTRUCTURE BILL HAS - TREMENDOUS BIPARTISAN SUPPORT, - THEY SHOULD PASS THAT TONIGHT - AND SHOW THEY'RE DOING SOMETHING - NOT JUST POLITICALLY BUT THE - COUNTRY NEEDS THIS - INFRASTRUCTURE BILL. - BUT PEOPLE THOUGHT, WE HAVE TO - REMEMBER, THE 2020 ELECTION WAS - A REFERENDUM ON DRUCH. - IT WAS NOT ABOUT ISSUES, IT WAS - NOT ABOUT WHAT BIDEN WAS - PROMISING TO DO, IT WAS WE - EITHER WANT MORE TRUMP OR - KILLING HIM OUT, THEY VOTED TO - KICK HIM OUT, THE MAJORITY DID, - BUT THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE - GETTING A SAFE ALTERNATIVE WITH - JOE BIDEN AND HE TURNED OUT TO - BE A GUY WHO'S BEEN MUCH MORE
- AGGRESSIVELY LIBERAL WITH THE - BERNIE SANDERS WING THAN PEOPLE - WERE VOTING FOR. - ONE KEY THING FROM THE EXIT - POLLS ON THE -- THE EDISON EXIT - POLLS THAT I THINK "THE - WASHINGTON POST" USED AND OTHER - NETWORKS, SAID THAT TRUMP IS - STILL UNPOPULAR IN VIRGINIA. - SEVEN OUT OF TEN VOTERS THOUGHT - YOUNGKIN'S POLICIES AND IDEAS - WERE MUCH LIKE TRUMPS. - DIDN'T HURT HIM A BIT, HE WON. - PEOPLE WERE OKAY WITH TRUMP'S - POLICIES, THEY JUST DIDN'T LIKE - TRUMP. - >> Woodruff: WHAT ABOUT WHAT - THE DEMOCRATS ARE OFFERING? - I HEAR THE TWO OF YOU SAYING - DIFFERENT THINGS ABOUT WHETHER - AMERICANS WANT WHAT THE - DEMOCRATS ARE DEBATING AND STILL - HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO PASS YET. - >> I THINK THAT'S THE PROBLEM, - THEY STILL HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO - PASS IT. - IF YOU TEASE OUT EVERY LITTLE - THING OUT OF BOTH THE - INFRASTRUCTURE BILL, WHICH WE - KNOW THE BIPARTISAN SUPPORT, BUT - EVEN WHAT'S IN THE BUILD BACK - BETTER ACT, LAST I CHECKED, SO - MANY THINGS IN IT, BUT IF YOU - TEASE OUT THE INDIVIDUAL PIECES, - THEY HAVE POPULAR SUPPORT. - IT'S JUST THAT, IF YOU'RE GOING - TO GO FOR IT AND YOU'VE GOT THE - HOUSE AND YOU'VE GOT THE SENATE
- AND YOU HAVE THE WHITE HOUSE, TO - THE LARGER AMERICAN PUBLIC WHO - DOESN'T FOLLOW THE STUFF THE WAY - WE DO, SIT BACK AND THINK WHY - DEPARTMENT YOU GET ANYTHING DONE - IF YOU HAVE ALL THREE BRANCHES, - AND THIS IS WHY THIS IS SUCH A - PROBLEM FOR DEMOCRATS AND THE - PRESIDENT. - >> Woodruff: WHAT I HEAR YOU - SAYING, GARY, IS EVEN IF THEY - PASS THIS OTHER PIECE OF - LEGISLATION THAT THAT MAY NOT - HELP THE DEMOCRATS. - >> I THINK THAT IT HURTS THEM. - AGAIN, I'M GOING TO SAY, - JONATHAN AND I WERE DISAGREEING - ON THIS, BUT THE MESSAGE TUESDAY - WAS WE DON'T LIKE THE DIRECTION - YOU'RE GOING. - THE DEMOCRATS, REALLY, IF THEY - STOPPED TO EVALUATE WHAT - HAPPENED TUESDAY, THEY WOULD BE - BETTER OFF SITTING AND LETTING - JOE MANCHIN LEAD THE DISCUSSION - WHILE BERNIE SANDERS AND - ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ SIT TO - THE SIDE A BIT AND LISTEN. - BECAUSE I THINK MARCHEN, TO - HIS -- MANCHIN HAS A PULSE ON - WHERE AMERICA IS AT NOW AND, NO, - THE DEMOCRAT PARTY DOESN'T HAVE - TO BECOME THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, - BUT JOE MANCHIN IS A PRETTY
- CENTRIST DEMOCRAT WHO'S TRYING - TO WAVE THE RED FLAG AND RING - THE WARNING BELLS AND NO ONE'S - LISTENING TO HIM YET. - >> THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IN THE - BUILD BACK BETTER PLAN, FOR - INSTANCE, WOULD LOVE FOR THERE - TO BE PAID FAMILY LEAVE. - AND I GET CONSERVATIVES LOOK AT - PAID FAMILY LEAVE AS PAYING - PEOPLE TO STAY HOME INSTEAD OF - LOOKING AT THE DOMINO EFFECT OF - WHAT IT MEANS IN ORDER FOR A - FAMILY TO NOT RISK THEIR JOB IN - ORDER TO STAY HOME FOR - WHATEVER -- FOR WHATEVER - REASON -- GRIEVING THE LOSS OF A - PARENT, A NEW CHILD COMING INTO - THE FAMILY, THERE ARE ECONOMIC - BENEFITS THAT THE AMERICAN - PEOPLE WANT, THE EARNED INCOME - TAX CREDIT FOR CHILDREN, ANY - NUMBER OF THINGS. - I DON'T THINK IT'S THAT THE - AMERICAN PEOPLE DON'T WANT THESE - THINGS AND THAT THESE AREN'T, - YOU KNOW, A GRAB BAG OF THINGS - TO JUST GIVE AWAY. - THEY HAVE A BENEFIT FOR THE - LONG-TERM HEALTH AND SECURITY, - ECONOMIC AND WELL BEING OF THIS - COUNTRY.
- >> I THINK AMERICANS DO WANT A - LOT OF THOSE THINGS, AND THEY DO - POLL AS POPULAR ITEM BY ITEM, - BUT AMERICANS LOVE ICE CREAM. - IF YOU DID A POLL, YOU WOULD - FIND OUT ALMOST 100% OF - AMERICANS LOVE ICE CREAM. - IT DOESN'T MEAN THEY APPROVE OF - SPENDING TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO - GIVE EVERYONE FREE ICE CREAM. - NOT EVERYONE CAN HAVE THINGS - THAT EVERYONE WOULD SAY, GEE, - THAT WOULD BE NICE, BUT THERE - COMES A POINT IN TIME WHERE WE - SAY WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY, - WHETHER WE'RE TALKING - 6 TRILLION, 3 TRILLION, - 1 TRILLION, IT DOESN'T EXIST. - THE AMERICAN PEOPLE KNOW THAT - DOESN'T EXIST, TOO. - YES, WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THESE - THINGS, BUT DO OUR GREAT - GRANDCHILDREN PAY FOR IT? - >> Woodruff: ANOTHER ANALYSIS - FROM JAMES CARVILLE, LONGTIME - STRATIST ON THIS PROGRAM - WEDNESDAY NIGHT, JONATHAN, - ESSENTIALLY SAID THIS "WOKE - BUSINESS" HAS GONE TOO FAR, THE - FOCUS ON INJUSTICE IN OUR - SOCIETY. - DOES HE HAVE A POINT OR NOT? - >> HE HAS A POINT UP TO A POINT. - I UNDERSTAND WHERE JAMES
- CARVILLE IS COMING FROM. - I HEARD THE QUOTE IN FULL AND IN - CONTEXT, I GET WHERE HE'S COMING - FROM, BUT WHAT HE'S DONE IS HE'S - BASICALLY SAID TO THE BASE OF - THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, WHO CARES - WHAT YOU THINK? - HE CALLS IT "WOKENESS." - IT'S NOT WOKENESS TO WANT TO BE - TREATED FAIRLY BY TESTIFY - POLICE - IT'S NOT WOKENESS TO WANT LAW - ENFORCEMENT TO NOT VIEW YOU - INSTANTLY AS A CRIMINAL, - INSTANTLY AS A BAD GUY. - IT'S NOT WOKENESS TO DEMAND THAT - OUR NATION'S HISTORY BE TAUGHT - AND REFLECTED ACCURATELY. - THAT'S NOT WOKENESS. - AT A MINIMUM, IT'S ASKING FOR - DIGNITY AND RESPECT. - AND, SO, FOR SOMEONE, A - DEMOCRATIC STRATEGIST LIKE JAMES - CARVILLE TO SAY THOSE THINGS - BASICALLY TO THE BASE TO HAVE - THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY -- TO THE - BASE OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS - REALLY UNFORTUNATE BECAUSE I
- THINK WE CAN TALK ABOUT THESE - ISSUES OF INJUSTICE AND TALK - ABOUT HOW TO MOVE THE COUNTRY - FORWARD TOGETHER. - THESE DON'T HAVE TO BE TWO - SEPARATE CONVERSATIONS. - >> Woodruff: THIS IS A LARGER - DEBATE THAT'S BEEN OUT THERE, - GARY. - >> I ACTUALLY AGREE WITH A LOT - OF WHAT JONATHAN JUST SAID. - I THINK WE CAN TALK ABOUT THE - ROLE OF SLAVERY, THE ROLE OF - RACISM IN THIS COUNTRY, AND WE - SHOULD DO MORE OF THAT. - I AGREE WITH THAT. - BUT THERE DOESN'T HAVE TO BE -- - I THINK WHAT HAPPENS IS, WITH - THE WOKENESS, WHAT A LOT OF US - THINK OF AS THE WOKENESS, THE - CANCEL CULTURE, IS THAT WE HAVE - TO CREATE VILLAINS. - WE HAVE TO DEMON EYES. - -- DEMONIZE. - TO LIFT ONE SET OF PEOPLE UP, WE - HAVE TO DEMONIZE ANOTHER SET. - >> I UNDERSTAND WHERE THE - CONCEPT COMES FROM OF DEMONIZING - PEOPLE. - THE PEOPLE WHO I TALK TO AND AM - ASSOCIATED WH AND RELATED TO, - WE'RE NOT ABOUT DEMONIZING - ANYBODY. - WHAT ABOUT, HEY, COULD YOU
- RECOGNIZE FOR A HOT MINUTE WHAT - WE GO THROUGH? - COULD YOU RECOGNIZE THAT THERE - WAS A CLIP OF A YOUNGKIN - SUPPORTER SAYING, WELL IF YOUNG - PEOPLE JUST, WOYOU KNOW, TREAT E - POLICE WITH RESPECT WHEN THEY'RE - STOPPED EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY. - NO, THAT IS NOT TRUE. - THAT IS NOT TRUE. - AND, SO, YOU KNOW, FOR -- UNTIL - SOMEONE LIKE HER IS ABLE TO SEE - THAT PERSPECTIVE, WE'RE ALWAYS - GOING TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. - >> Woodruff: LIKE THAT YOUNG - PERSON. - >> WE TEND TO, ON ALL THINGS - WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT - CRITICAL RACE THEORY, WHICH IS - NOT BEING TAUGHT IN SCHOOLS, - IT'S A THEORY THAT A LOT OF - PEOPLE WOULD LIKE TO HAE - TAUGHT. - >> IT'S TAUGHT IN LAW SCHOOL. - YEAH. - BUT THERE HAVE BEEN PUSHES TO - GET IT MORE INTO CURRICULUMS. - >> THAT'S A LARGER CONVERSATION. - >> Woodruff: THAT'S A LARGER - CONVERSATION. - >> BUT THERE ARE -- IT'S LIKE - ONE EXTREME OR THE OTHER. - YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO TALK TO - RECOGNIZE MORE ABOUT WHAT, AS I - SAID, SLAVERY AND ACE AND RACISE
- PLAYED A ROLE THROUGHOUT HISTORY - IN THE BUILDING OF THIS COUNTRY - AND DO THAT HONESTLY, AND WHITE - PEOPLE SHOULDN'T BE AFRAID TO - SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT? - WE REALLY HAVEN'T DONE THAT WELL - AND WE NEED TO DO A BETTER JOB - OF THAT AND RECOGNIZE IT, BUT - WITHOUT MAKING US FEEL LIKE THE - VILLAINS FOR DOING IT. - AND I THINK THERE IS A LOT OF - THAT. - THERE'S A LOT OF EMPHASIS ON - WHITE PEOPLE NEED TO FEEL A - CERTAIN AMOUNT OF GUILT OVER - THIS AND WE NEED TO GET PAST - THAT. - >> Woodruff: I WANT YOU TO - MAKE A COMMENT AND THEN I WANT - TO BRING UP SOMETHING. - >> SURE. - I'M NOT ASKING FOR GUILT, BUT I - DO THINK WHITE PEOPLE HAVE TO - GET OVER FEELING VILLAINIZED - JUST EVEN WHEN THE WORD "RACE" - IS USED IN A SENTENCE, THAT'S - ALL. - >> Woodruff: IT'S A - CONVERSATION WE SHOULD CONTINUE - TO HAVE NEXT FRIDAY. - BUT SPEAKING OF ALL THIS, - SOMEONE WHO I THINK REPRESENTS - WHAT BLACK AMERICANS HAVE MEANT - TO THIS COUNTRY WAS MEMORIALIZED - TODAY AND THAT WAS, OF COURSE,
- COLIN POWELL. - THERE WAS A SERVICE FOR HIM. - HE WAS REMEMBERED AS SOMEONE WHO - WAS AN EXAMPLE FOR GENERATIONS - TO COME, SOMEONE WHO WORKED - ACROSS PARTY LINES. - IN JUST A FEW WORDS, JONATHAN, - WHAT IS HIS LEGACY? - WE SHOULD WE TAKE AWAY FROM THIS - MAN? - >> HE WAS A STATESMAN. - HE WAS A WARRIOR STATESMAN. - HE WAS THE BEST OF THIS COUNTRY. - WHEN HE WAS THINKING OF RUNNING - FOR PRESIDENT IN THE - '96 ELECTION, I WAS A YOUNG - EDITORIAL WRITER AT THE - "NEW YORK DAILY NEWS," I WAS A - BIG FAN OF PRESIDENT CLINTON, - BUT THE IDEA THAT A BLACK MAN - WOULD RUN FOR PRESIDENT AND HA - A CHANCE TO WIN LEFT ME A LITTLE - CONFLICTED BECAUSE HE WAS A - WALKING ROLE MODEL OF WHO WE - SHOULD BE AS AMERICANS BUT ALSO - WALKING ROLE MODEL FOR ME, A - YOUNG BLACK MAN. - SEEING A BLACKMAN LIKE HIM - WALKING THROUGH THE CARTERS OF - POWER AS IF HE WAS WALKING IN - THE PARK DR. THROUGH THE
- CORRIDORS OF POWER AS IF HE WAS - WALKING THROUGH THE PARK. - WE NEED MORE COLIN POWELLS. - >> I CAN'T IMPROVE ON THAT. - TO ME, COLIN POWELL REPRESENTED - A VERY CLASSY PERSON, CONDUCTED - HIMSELF WITH CLASS. - EVEN WHEN HE WAS UPSET OR ANGRY - ABOUT SOMETHING, EVEN IN HIS - CRITICISMS OF PEOPLE, IT WAS - DONE WITH STYLE AND CLASS, WHICH - IS WHY I THINK HE WAS SO WIDELY - ADMIRED ACROSS THE DIVIDE. - >> Woodruff: WELL, WE REMEMBER - HIM FONDLY TODAY. - >> YEAH. - >> Woodruff: GARY ABERNATHY, - JONATHAN CAPEHART, THANK YOU - BOTH. - >> THANK YOU, JUDY. - Y - AIMED AT AMERICAN INDIANS WHO - MIGRATED OR WERE PUSHED INTO
