8:30 pm
going into central parts of mozambique, where we have got some warnings on eastern areas of south africa. we'll see what the weather was very hot with a fly, a danger out west, the showcase of the best document. 3 films from across the network on al jazeera, a tide of changes sweeping the countries the donald farm says his presidency is the beginning of a golden age for america. as an operation stage made out of populist agenda spending port is classrooms and even space. how is the world view and from the 1st address and his 2nd to and then office. this is inside story, the
8:31 pm
hello and welcome to the program. i'm elizabeth put on him. a sweeping indictment of the policies of the last 4 years and grand promises to fix america's problems. that's on the house of donald trump's. 13 minutes, no ration address, in which he aimed to project himself as the savior of the country. the new us presidents declared a national emergency along the border with mexico and said he'll send troops to stop what he called the invasion of america on the promise tower of song and poll, saying it would enrich all citizens. but he didn't action and even signing more than 200 executive orders. trump also promised to take control of the panama canal, but didn't specify how old is on day one of his 2nd to the white house. so what do his was an actions main for other nations? do they have substance? and will they make
8:32 pm
a difference to the us and the rest of the world will address those questions to i guess in a moment. but 1st, this report by katia lopez holiday on the promising a golden age for the u. s. president. donald trump began his 2nd term pledging to rescue the country from what he describes as years of the true and decline. the tracking down on immigration, he signed executive orders including ending the right of us citizenship through birth and declaring an emergency along the southern board of revolt, nearly 80 destructive and rather go executive actions of the previous administration. one of the worst administrations in history may be though, and that one of the worst, anybody that would allow me is a people to pour through our borders from jail's president's mental institutions and say there's silence in his and not the reason speech. trump also one field
8:33 pm
sweeping proposals to shake up the us energy production. drill, baby drill, including the extraction of fossil fuels and turning back environmental protections . you know, we're excited about trumpet. we're also just excited about the new policies that he's bringing in responding to transamerica 1st messaging protests were held in some cities with demonstrators seeing trump strong man approach is dangerous and driven by you go abroad. protesters also rallied and brussels fearing trumps. disruptive style will turn long time allies into adversaries. i'm concerned about a lot of things, climate, but also human rights. and i'm very afraid of victor uh, becoming very big in the us,
8:34 pm
but also in europe. china is operating the panama canal. trump also threatened to take back control of the panama canal and were taking it back. the analysts say this place has extreme political vision. look at the menu is walters in panama, belongs to us. the canal is panamanian panamanians sovereignty. self determination is panamanian. the us has nothing here, has tons against a 2nd term. know what supporters and critics seemed to be preparing for 4 years and expected katia look this up again. i want to 0 for insights story when that spring in august in washington dc is nadia brown, a professor of government at georgetown university, specializing an identity politics and legislative studies and brussels as james
8:35 pm
moran and the call list and for you and best of that. and also in washington dc, is we in a shop political strategist and form of republican presidential campaign senior advisor. a very welcome to all of you. i'd like to stop for the 1st quick answer from all of you on what a force of trans inaugural address, rena. i'll start with you in washington dc. i found it very jarring to see that kind of speech take place on the capital road tonda. a very much of campaign styles beach with a police uprising. but it was striking in so many ways that he clearly seemed to have the strength within his veins coming in as our oldest president. it's really one of those moments where you have to wonder what's next. because d one was just so action packed in that speech held so much in it a lot to wrap our minds around. and so again,
8:36 pm
my biggest take away was just how jarring that speech in the capital rotunda was yesterday. and will he be able to carry out so much of what he promised james as a korea to match? what did you think of the optics of the president talking about how terrible the last administration was as the full, the president joe biden just sat, you know, an arm's length away from him, including another, a number of other presidents, cooling, divine and administration, you know, radical and corrupt as well. let us about this, not the 1st time donald trump gave us rhetoric quite like back. that'd be the set thing was a little different this time compared to 2016. but most of what he had to say, i think um, did not surprise at least most of those in europe. we had expected a lot of it. and uh, i think um, at the end of the day,
8:37 pm
we're not so terribly surprised by what we have. the all takes us very dramatic performance off of goals for mr. trump. but let's now see what he actually is able to do. and let's get a bit more detail about what his policy is going to be nadia. what did you say? not just of the, an overall address, but the fact that washington, the staunch the democratic associate was just taken over by the mca move mention of the make america great. again, movement in a way that we didn't see in the 2016 in organization. that's right. well, it's really clear that not only has trump taken over, there are public and party, but he's also really ignited this populace moves in the country. so washington dc, as he thought in the, in the capital building really wasn't presented at trump's a non duration. the word, democratic lawmakers, the city was largely silent. there weren't many people that were out been around
8:38 pm
that are lifelong washingtonians or people from the d and b, maryland district of columbia and virginia and attendance. but it was rather making mention to people coming in from outside of this region. atlantic. this big balls is that the city ever asked for policies that before by the city and the most recent ministration might not reflect what the rest of the country wants. right? and if we move on into the executive orders, the actions that he's taken as expected, rena on day won sweeping executive actions on immigration. you know, that included things like ending the use of a border app that allows migraines to enter the us legally. i want to ask you about taking executive actions such as those against things that are legal and what kind of tone that fits. does it not just invite more legal
8:39 pm
challenges to me? it's not about the tone. it's about the president being set here, the president, that these kinds of actions are fully fine for any executive to take. now what i think we're going to see broadly speaking with trump, is a real overreach of the executives authority, a real broadening of the executive authority. because that is exactly what we saw yesterday. and his most unusual style of dining, these executive orders in a, in an arena here in washington, dc that with that capacity with numerous family members of him, behind him, his entire family, the vice president. and it was just, it was the moment of which i was very much struck, that this is a band that continues to think she alone can fix it. so that's not different than 2016. but what will be different this time is how the groups, immigration rights groups, civil rights groups will be more ready to launch legal challenges against many of of many of these promise has been my trump, you know, look, yesterday was
8:40 pm
a very hot and heavy day. what i'll say was bridget code in washington dc. it was almost unbearable to be out in about for more than even to 3 minutes. the temperatures were really record lows, but in terms of the flight minutes, right. but these issues have been part of mine for americans for a long time. they've been, they've been spy re and they created debates amongst my fellow americans on coast to coast. and i am talking about, of course, the, the topic of mass, deep orientations of trump promise back for much of last year. the convention last year there were republicans warning sign thing. they are for about deportations and entire reno full of them. so it's all very fascinating to see how it plays out. what can hold weight is the real being we should be asking ourselves. but again, i am most struck by the precedent. it sets for a precedent to take these kind of actions to make the move. but again, these groups are ready. and nadia,
8:41 pm
do you think that the promised administration is more ready this time to take on the legal challenges when, when it talks about how the groups, the civil, the immigration rights groups i'm already and in fact he was sued on day one, i believe by the american civil liberties union for trying to end this right citizenship, they say it's against federal law and the us constitution. but there are analysts who have said that he, that this administration must have lunch funded legal challenges the 1st time around and might have and, and has been working brother to would executive actions and orders differently. well that you have to be seen right day to but on the face value. why did the 2nd order is very signs, are either just symbolic, that they can actually going to, in fact, because they will be challenged in court for their unconstitutional. and so they would have to pass muster and any more, but the other thing, i think it's really important to note that the reason why people are thinking that
8:42 pm
couple be a little bit more advantage to the selection is that he put so many of drawers who were similar to his thought process or were sympathetic to his causes on the porch . right. and so he put a lot of federal judges on that as well as lower court judges. and so we see particularly in a portion access and right where where pieces were stopped round to find the most sympathetic. c that's been escalated things up to the supreme court and that's the piece that we know that he was able to put more drawers on back to being for them as part of the assessor. and so what shot tilted the, the allergy of the court. and so whether these are constitutional or not, many of them most likely got passed must have the part that of alarming to me is that he is back with that. and so when he was a 40 the president, they were things that the 46 president couldn't do to overturn, although joe biden did also add many members to the federal judiciary. but now when
8:43 pm
these kids are coming to the court, now some of when he did as 45 will be impacted what he does is 47. yeah, that's interesting. i also thought it was really interesting. on day one, he remove senior leadership at the justice department agency, all of the seeing immigration quotes. james, i want to come back to you to another interesting point from the innovation. i believe it was the 1st time the foreign leaders attend to the innovation. interestingly, they will or 5 right leaders, including is least, maloney and have a the i can tell you in president javier malay, what did you make of the makeup of the leaders and even politicians, you know, those from germany's far rice a f d who attended this an organization. yeah, yeah, not a surprise because uh you see, if not from that certainly as far as associates, natalie, natalie is on us making
8:44 pm
a lot of statements in the last couple of weeks, months uh, on social media supports the far right bodies in europe, including the entity of germany, which is significant because the election in germany is due next month. and that is playing in domestic politics and driving out across from the okay. so far i politicians with that to nigel firewalls and others but familiar faces you, you would have expected those people to be there. one person, the interest i me enough is try my best friend in europe probably, which is subject to all about the private, historical hungry. there was some reason that didn't sign up, which was quite surprising. but oh, you would've expected those people to be there, but they don't represent big constituencies in europe. it's important to have that . and down the road, there's going to be quite a lot of debate and difficulty and been trying to say a number of issues. and these are the us uh you relations of all right. i mean
8:45 pm
there was mention of tires on canada or mexico but not in the wider world yesterday . and the speech we'll see. well, that's a harbinger of things to come to europe as well. um, i think the other thing on the speech which i take away is that there was a great deal of wire here about the withdrawal from the climate convention which he . ready is able to do with his executive order last night out across here, the withdrawal from the w h r, which is a bizarre policy. it seems to me probably be reflecting the even more bizarre appointment of mr. robert at kennedy is his el secretary. yeah, we were expecting both of those withdrawals from those important multi lateral agreements. we both the powers climate record, which he did the last time. he was president of this time pulling out of the world health organization. when america contributes about a fist of the w. h o is also full funding. i mean, james, what kind of impact is going to have on the organizations operations around the world, including and so many areas like gaza and it's kind of
8:46 pm
a song where it's dealing with emergencies. you know, it's got no doubt about that. i think there is a good chance that others will try to make up the gap in funding. nobody's here in europe, but also in japan and career and strategy. our calendar was all about not having the us on board, not only for the point of view of the money, but also from the bond to do with the expertise. and the amount of thought is going to be a big loss to the w h or this organization just by such an important bought it. well that, that is not. lisa is role in the last time dummy. and we've got more of that on the agenda to come. ready this is, this is right damaging a very why not entirely unexpected. he did it before. of course, it will take time. he consciously drawn from the w a drug, just like that. they have to go through oprah. this is an extreme a to it might change, but as i said, there was some very strange appointments in the trump administration. the level that are kennedy which, which will probably support is going for
8:47 pm
a great to have rita. let me come to you, but some of those appointments, you know, it's be nurse at that very few have and political appointments that they have been elected, you know, politician instead of being elected apart from san as a mako rubio who i believe has been confirmed as the secretary of state, what does this makeup tell us about what to expect? well, on the 1st things 1st i, i'm not at all surprised by much of what trump is doing on the health front. if you listen to him and his time out of the office when he was kicked out to the white house in 2020, which i think was largely due to his miss handling of the coat with 19 pandemic which you heard from him. and his people is that they wanted to get revenge on the people that they felt misled us about the origins of coven 19 and what they really felt that the world health organization does is not important enough for us
8:48 pm
americans within our borders. and that we continue to look outward instead of looking in words. and so from a policy perspective, i don't find it bizarre because i've been listening to trump, but i take him at his word and a lot of americans really wanted that. um, it's very important to note that the frustration from everyday americans, whether they be enrolled communities or urban community, is a sense that our federal government is growing inside. it's to be too bloated and doing a lot with our money that we may not agree with. so the punitive action would be in such an important area, such as our health, you know, when we talked about vaccinations and the public health, the public good. there's a lot there. you know, not being able to vaccinate people in other parts. the world can have a very negative impact on us within our borders, but the average american is sort of looking and saying, why do we nation don't abroad so much? why to be port over so much money instead of doing what we need to do here
8:49 pm
domestically? look, i'm, i'm a mother and i, i make no secret of that. but i, i'm raising 3 very small children. and i, it pains me to know that we the we're just country in the world, have children just down the road from me who are experiencing hunger. that's not right. my children go to school with those children. and if those children not driving, my child would not drive despite my best efforts. and so what i see these appointments as doing is look, we can think whatever we, you want to think of trump on a personal level, robert f. kennedy junior on a personal level, but i see tom's appointment of our key junior, robert f kennedy junior as trying to turn things upside down, trying to get to kind of the root cause of the problems. we have loads of chemicals in our foods. we have regulations that are both good and bad, and so i'm not trying to convince the audience here to say, look at all these appointments as good. i'm trying to say, let's give them a chance on some level because what trump and the republicans feel they have right
8:50 pm
now is a mandate to dismantle the federal government. as we know it. and nadia that says in a we don't hear trump talk about you know, children facing hunger. but he said that the health care system isn't working. but classrooms of teaching children to hate to themselves. and certainly immigration culture was, would have fuse trumps rise and politics. i wonder what a for of, in has an old address when he was, you know, talked about costing funding, cutting government funding to diversity programs. and he got very loud applause when he said that us policy would only recognize that there are only 2 genders. male and female. yeah. again like, you know, i, i wasn't surprised much of what was, i mean, not duration speech. where are things back from the saying on the campaign trail. but it's really unfortunate, right? i am working it at less than battery opportunity everyday to be in
8:51 pm
a classroom to last year space and time with american students. and what i know is that the vast majority of american students do not see the world the way that donald trump does and have a generational difference right around the policy priorities. and when they see themselves and whether they seem to united states and gender as just want, like some of my students do not see themselves and others as could begin to be the primary boxes of gender. they rather have is more fluid or out. there's more open view of what gender looks like so much so that legacy programs like mind that. so what the title women's in it. so i mean, the director of them is a gender studies at georgetown. may students really bulk at had a woman in the title because they see women as an identity. that's a social construct. whereas we found the mass, an older americans are really holding on to this identity. a woman as
8:52 pm
a way to speak to specific challenges and opportunities that are faced by people who are female identified at 1st. but so that is one. you know, one of the things that i find surprising, probably counting because next generation doesn't see it this way. but also cutting funding to american universities is problem that there is no way that americans become at vote just become an sustain itself as a leader in education. if the federal government does not support research research development as well as student development and much of what the trunk will oversee, if he tries to either down side department of education which happens under reagan . or if he wants to kind of altogether kind of move the, the kind of as a financial oversight to department of education over to the treasury department. is that what's going to hurt is not just the students themselves who are relying on government subsidies for their education. but also the federal government is the largest supplier of research funds that allows professors researchers like myself
8:53 pm
to be able to learn more about your world phenomenon. and what that does is it leads to things like health care innovations that we think by policy and in innovation as well as pag innovations. all the things that trumps it wants to make america great at again to do the funding to back it up have it doesn't have a lot of emphasis in this administration on the tech sector, as in the james coming back to you know, whether it's culture was whether it's integration from where you're sitting and in brussels, and interestingly, you know how gary in 5 minutes to victor alba and he didn't attend the integration, but he did tweeze on x. he announced and offensive to what he said occupied. the european parliament followed him, transferred to the white house, he said, only a few hours and even the sun will shine differently in brussels. a new president of the west, the great patriotic faction in brussels, the grand offensive can begin to open roads. i mean,
8:54 pm
how hope for the year it's populous that transferred to will helps of their interests back home, you know, for the normalize the nation 1st best and team ago and rhetoric. oh sure. yeah. i mean, it started to quite some time. in fact, uh, throughout the trunk campaign uh the far right parties have been hoping that you would prevail and go see has that as a shot in the, on all these boxes. there's no doubt about that. but at the end of the day that what route is so your opinions as it matters for the americans, as well as who did others who actually will get your out of it. so ross at the moment in terms of economic growth and so on. we have a lot of challenges in that regard. and so far as that is concerned, mr. hold on, frankly, is way out there on the edge of the cliff. he's nowhere near the main street, and indeed, although so far for the far, i thought as ask him in the last couple of years, we sort of allows drew
8:55 pm
a view involved the actions you're still have sense arrive to send to the body is basically in control in most european countries and here in the process of the review of all of them. the question is, who's going to do that? as i said, as the whole benefit of it absolutely nothing. it seems to me neither as people know for your over the last 4 or 5 years and that's pretty well known. but so okay, now we'll see just how this uh, from the administration will deal with european fall, right. i suspect that he won't have much time to europe and he does in general, there will be a problem. but these laptops that gone that front, which by the way, these major one last remark there, it was. one other thing is missing from his speech. ok, he said he wanted to be a piece. make a good lesson, be a peacemaker. well, desperately needs peacemakers right now. but there was no mention about ukraine, which was probably a good thing. we kind of expected was on that front that i suspect that within the
8:56 pm
trunk, but ministration is find another debank going on internally. maybe you will guess no more about that. so not as to how close to how you create going for the manual of ukraine. no mention of ukraine and no confidence about gaza when he's for us to be an organization. we know we only have a couple of minutes left of the program and i'd like to ask you the last question you know can, is what, how does the rena, how does the republican party going forward the next 4 years? those and the republican policy who are not part of this mega movement, can they take the potty back? i wouldn't say there should be any one holding out hope that the the party can be taken back in a certain direction. i think anybody that builds like they connect with whatever president trump is putting out there this time is probably a republican and need to understand that this republican party still has divisions within it. and look, i think it's a healthy thing for there to be critics within a party. i think that's actually a perfectly fine thing to do because especially where we're at a time right now,
8:57 pm
we're, most americans don't want to affiliate with either of the major to parties in more and more our affiliating is independent or just calling themselves centrist or politically homeless. but back to that question, how does the republican party move forward from here? anybody to call themselves the republican, have to take this day by day? you know, president trump has laid out the most ambitious agenda that i think i've, i've heard of in modern presidential history. so, and i've studied extensively, i just am very concerned about the norms and the establishment of our institutions . i have great faith in them, but the erosion of certain things that are sort of in shined and in our article, but our documents that we do have a living document, the constitution. but our founding fathers had a vision for this country. and i think more republicans in general, would be better off if they understood that. uh, president, trump is not the end of be all. he may put out some good ideas. he may put out some terrible ideas, but he alone can not fix it. so, you know,
8:58 pm
roll up your sleeves and position your government for what you don't like as the founding fathers wanted. that's my yeah. anyone. and i guess the other question is also can he alone break it? i'm afraid we'll run out of time. but i want to fact own of august for this discussion. that's nadia brown in washington dc. james moran and brussels. and we in a shout also in washington dc. and thank you to for watching. you can see the program again any time by visiting our website out of the com. i prefer the discussion to go to our facebook page at facebook dot com forward slash a insights story. you can also join the conversation on x i handle is at a inside story from me, elizabeth put on with a whole team care bye for now. the
8:59 pm
we are to see the series of legend some clothes for the stories of civilizations that market history wants. this is where the story of savannah didn't have any stories to tell the
9:00 pm
the the the, the, the i'm or kyle, this is the news our live from the coming up in the next 60 minutes is really all me raise the jeanine refugee camp at least 9 palestinians a killed a many, a wounded, hungry and desperate for help. awesome moments of israel seized people rushed towards a trucks entering concepts on day 3 of the cease fire a fire at a point.
