The Takeout with Major Garrett 8/19/26

Major begins the show with Nancy Cordes at the White House on how the President views negotiations with Iran, his decision to cancel 50% tariffs against Canada, and North Korea’s nuclear stockpile. Aaron MacLean provides analysis on Trump’s claim that North Korea has 57 powerful nuclear weapons and what it says about the country’s threat. CBS Miami's Jim DeFede discusses the results of the Florida primaries, where Democratic Socialist candidate Angie Nixon pulls an upset over Alexander Vindman in the Senate primary. Byron Donalds wins his gubernatorial primary handily, and is set to face former Republican-turned-Democrat David Jolly in the general election. With Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro's executive order imposing strict guardrails on data center construction, Major interviews his Republican gubernatorial opponent Stacy Garrity about her response to the order and whether he's gone far enough. Plus, President Trump is touting the drop in prescription drug prices for Americans. CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz joins Major on-set to explain the change and why the administration's taking the credit. All that and more, right here on "The Takeout."
