[0:00] Susie Wilds is out as White House Chief

[0:03] of Staff, her deputy and MAGA absolutist

[0:05] Steven Miller is in. Wisconsin

[0:07] Republican Senator Ron Johnson reacts.

[0:10] Democratic National Committee Chairman

[0:12] Ken Martin here. Criticized as weak and

[0:15] effective in the past, does he feel

[0:17] vindicated by the midterms? Did he know

[0:19] something others didn't? Michigan's new

[0:22] Democratic governor elect, Jocelyn

[0:24] Benson. She's got a Democratic House and

[0:26] Senate in Michigan. What will she do

[0:29] with this trifecta power?

[0:40] Hello everyone, I'm Major Garrett in

[0:41] Washington. Welcome to the Takeout. What

[0:44] do you do when you're president of the

[0:46] United States and your party has just

[0:48] suffered the most shattering midterm

[0:50] defeat in five decades?

[0:53] What do you do when the origins of this

[0:55] political cataclysm can be found in

[0:58] voter revulsion over hyperaggressive and

[1:00] violent interior immigration

[1:02] enforcement?

[1:04] What do you do when losses suffered in

[1:06] the deep south, also the first in

[1:07] decades, can be traced directly to voter

[1:11] rage there over mid decade redistricting

[1:14] and judicial assault on voting rights?

[1:17] What do you do when the GOP loses the

[1:19] governor's race in Texas by about seven

[1:22] points in part over voter frustration

[1:24] there with the reallocation of public

[1:27] funds from public schools to private

[1:29] schools?

[1:31] Well, if you're President Trump, you

[1:33] elevate to Chief of Staff Steven Miller,

[1:37] a MAGA originalist and absolutist who in

[1:40] word and deed gives the distinct

[1:42] impression that he never saw an armed

[1:45] ICE raid he didn't like, a pro-Gop

[1:48] redistricting gambit
