• 0:05
  Speaker 1: President Trump is talking about forgiving his enemies, but does
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: that mean he's ready to turn over a new lead?
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: After all that's been given to you?
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's such an easy answer.
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: All I have to do is say yes, I can.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: Again, I don't think it's an easy answer.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Can I be honest?
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: And a major shakeup inside the White House has some
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: people questioning which direction the administration is really headed.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: It boggles my mind that Republicans would look at the
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: outcome from Tuesday night and think, you know who needs
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: a bigger job? Stephen Miller.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Plus, Tyler Perry is stepping into politics in Georgia as
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: the state's next governor prepares for a major fight. It's Tuesday,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: November 10th. From the Black Effect Podcast Network, I'm Mimi Brown,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: and here are the day's biggest stories. Stay with me.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: We begin with President Trump, who was speaking out following Republicans'
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: major losses in the midterm elections. In a wide-ranging interview
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: with 60 Minutes, the president discussed the future of the
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Republican Party, the war in Iran, and artificial intelligence. But
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: one of the biggest headlines grabbing attention was his answer
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: when he was asked about forgiving his enemies.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Let's say you pass away. You're entering the next life.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: And all you have to do to enter paradise is
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: feel love and forgiveness for.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: James Comey.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Nancy Pelosi, anyone who you have expressed hate for over
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: the years, do you think you can do it? Well,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: then I wouldn't be real, would I? Is the answer no?
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: The answer is no. I want to be honest.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Before the judgment throne of God?
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: Before the judgment.
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: No, I think they were very bad people.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: And you are telling me you couldn't find it in
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: your heart to forgive some of your enemies? After all
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: that's been given to you?
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's such an easy answer.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: All I have to do is say, yes, I can't.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Again, I don't think it's an easy answer.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Can I be honest?
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: I probably cannot do that now because I do hate
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: some of my enemies and I always will.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: And Trump also made some surprising comments about immigration. The
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: president acknowledged that his administration's immigration crackdown may have gone
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: too far, admitting his deportation policies have both helped and
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: hurt him politically. And after Republicans suffered a major loss
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: in the midterms, Trump says he's now open to working
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: with Democrats on a deal that could allow some undocumented
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: immigrants who've lived and worked in the U.S. to stay.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: And that's a significant shift in a tone from a
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: president who made mass deportations one of his biggest campaign promises.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: But the big question, whether those comments will actually lead
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: to changes in immigration policy or whether this is simply
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: a new political strategy following the election. Meanwhile, things are
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: getting interesting inside the White House. President Trump says he's
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: willing to soften his approach to immigration, but his latest
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: move inside the White House suggests he could be going
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: in a very different direction. Trump has named Stephen Miller
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: as his new White House chief of staff, replacing Susie
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Wiles just days after Republicans suffered that major loss in
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: the midterm elections. And if you're wondering why this is
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: such a big deal, Miller is one of Trump's closest
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: advisors and one of the main architects of his administration's
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: toughest immigration policies. Now he's taking on an even more
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: powerful role. As chief of staff, Miller will oversee White
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: House operations, help determine who gets access to the president,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: and play a major role in shaping the administration's priorities.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: It boggles my mind that Republicans would look at the
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: outcome from Tuesday night and think, you know who needs
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: a bigger job? Stephen Miller. This was a repudiation of
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: what you call him, Kayleigh, the thought leader of conservative
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: policy was rejected across this country. Texas is blue. Ted
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: Cruz is sitting there by himself, wondering if anyone will
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: ever sit at a lunch table with him again, who
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: demanded 3000 deportations a day that terrorized American communities to
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: the point that we haven't seen a Latino surge like
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: this and a youth surge like this. is the right
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: person to turn into the president's number one guy. If
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: you want to win elections again, I think this is
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: one of the dumbest things you could do.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: And the timing is especially important. Democrats are preparing to
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: take control of Congress, and they've already promised investigations into
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: the Trump administration, including Miller's role in immigration enforcement. So
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: while Trump is talking about working with Democrats, he's also
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: putting one of his most hardline advisers in charge of
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: the White House. Trump denies the move has anything to
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: do with the election, saying it was simply time for
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: a change. But the question is now whether this new
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: leadership means more of the same policies that voters just
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: rejected or a different direction for the administration. And lastly,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: in Georgia, Governor-elect Keisha Lance Bottoms is already getting to
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: work and she's bringing some star power with her. Bottoms
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: announced her transition team Friday. which includes a Hollywood name.
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: Tyler Perry, an entertainment mogul who is also a huge
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: philanthropic part of our Georgia community and owns Tyler Perry
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: Studios in Atlanta.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: And this isn't the first time the two have worked together.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Bottoms previously served as an executive producer on one of
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Tyler Perry's Netflix shows. But this time they're working together
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: in politics as Bottoms prepares to take over the governor's office.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Bottoms made history last week becoming Georgia's first black governor
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: and the first woman elected to lead the state, ending
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: 24 years of Republican control. And one of her first
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: priorities is taking on Georgia's controversial six-week abortion ban. And
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: here's why that matters. Georgia bans most abortions once cardiac
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: activity can be detected, which is typically around six weeks
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: into pregnancy. That's before many women even realize they're pregnant.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Bottoms wants to overturn that law, but she acknowledges it
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: won't be easy. Democrats now control the state House, but
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Republicans still hold a narrow majority in the Senate. And
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: that means even though Democrats won the governor's office, Bottoms
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: can't simply change the law on her own. She'll need
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: enough lawmakers to support it. Bottoms says if they can't
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: get the votes during the upcoming legislative session, they'll keep
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: pushing until they do. So while her historic election was
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: a major victory for Democrats, the next challenge is turning
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: those campaign promises into actual laws. That's your front page.
