of the taliban rose from the chaos, promising stability. but the us eventually in to be the justification for going into afghanistan was $911.00. it wasn't about moral values. the 1st episode of the new to part document treat examines the western vision. and us, if you could ever realistically have succeeded afghanistan, the price of peace on out as the era. 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, laid out a populist agenda, span and port is classrooms and even space. how is the world view and from the 1st address and his 2nd to an office? this is inside story, the

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 phone, the house of donald trump's 13 minutes and oration address, in which he aim 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 call the invasion of america. and he promised tariffs on and pull 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 a difference to the us and the rest of the world will address those questions to

our guests 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 rebuild 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 jails, president's mental institutions, and say there's silence in who's and not the reason speech. trump also one field

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 ego 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,

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. now, what supporters and critics seems to be preparing for 4 years and expected katia look this up again. i want to 0 for insights story. the one that's bringing, i guess in washington dc, is nadia brown. a professor of government at georgetown university, specializing an identity politics and legislative studies in brussels as james

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 from the capital roads. honda a very much a campaign style speeds with a fully surprising 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 the one was just so action packed in that speech held so much in it a lot to wrap our minds around. and so again, 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 to james as a korea diplomatic? 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. well, elizabeth is 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, even in europe. we had expected a lot of it. and uh, i think um, at the end of the day,

we're not so terribly surprised by what we have. the all takes us very dramatic uh, performance off of the goals for mr. trump. but let's see what he actually is able to do. and let's get a bit more detail about what his policy is gonna be. not a, what did you say? not just of the, an overall address, but the fact that washington, the staunch the democratic society 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 represented 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

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 as well. and existing balls is that the city ever asked for policies that before by the city and the most recent administration 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 migrants 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 sets does it not just invite more legal

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

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 flatness 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, 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 more ready, 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. they 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 challenge in court for their unconstitutional. and so they wouldn't pass muster in any work. but the other thing, i think it's really important to note that the reason why people are thinking that

couple be a little bit more advantage to this election, is that he put so many of drawers who were similar to his spot 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 abortion access and right where where pieces were stopped round to find the most sympathetic judge that's been escalated things up to the supreme court. and that's important that we know that he was able to put more drawers on back to being for as part of the assessor. and so which helped 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 is alarming to me is that he is back the debt. 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

the kids are coming to the court, now, some of when he did at $45.00 will be impacted way does as far as that. 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 integration. 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

a lot of statements in the last couple of weeks, months on social media supporting far right policies in europe, including the empty of germany, which is significant because the election in germany is due next month. and that is playing in domestic politics and dry out of calls from the okay. so far, i apologize, has with that to nigel firewalls and others but familiar faces you, you would have expected those people to be there. one person, the loss of the interesting enough is tom's best friend in europe probably, which is subject to all about the private, historical hungry for some reason or other didn't sign up, which was quite surprising. but oh, you would've expected those people to be that, 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 in trying to say a number of issues. these are the us, your relations of all right. i mean there was a 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 for 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 was able to do with these 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 points of mr. robert at kennedy as his el secretary. yeah, we were expecting both of those withdrawals from those important multi lateral agreements. we both the powers climate accord which he did the last time. he was president, this time pulling off of the world health organization. when america contributes about a 5th of the w h o is overall funding. i mean, james, what kind of impact is going to have on the organizations operations around the world, including in so many areas like gaza and

a scala song. we're dealing with emergencies, you know, it's got no doubt about that. i think that was a good child, said others. we'll 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 bottom to do with the expertise. and the amount of thought is going to be a big loss. so the job to ensure it is. busy nice asian is by such an important thought. it, well, it's not, lisa is role in the last time dummy. and we've got more of that on the agenda to come. probably 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 truck just like that that 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 of advert, kennedy which, which will probably support is going for

a great to have read and let me come to you. but some of those appointments, you know, it's been nursing that very few have and political appointments that they have been elected, you know, politicians that have been elected apart from santa monica 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

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 this 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 of 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

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 food. 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 of 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

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 any non duration speech. where are things that somebody been saying on the campaign trail, but there's really no unfortunately, right. i am fortunate and less than battery opportunity every day to be in

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 see the united states and genders just want to make some of my students do not see themselves and others as to begin to be fine. every boxes of gender, they rather have is more fluid or of this more open view of what january 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 2nd, waste time and ask them over, americans are really holding on to this identity. a woman as

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 challenge because next generation doesn't see it this way. but also kind of funding to american universities is problem back. 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 department of education. 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

to be able to learn more about the 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 congress wants to make america great at again to do what is the funding to back it up? have it doesn't have a lot of emphasis on 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 way your setting and brussels. and interestingly, you know how and gary in 5 minutes to victor alba and he didn't attend the integration, but he did tweet 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 and the u. s. the great patriotic faction in brussels, the grand offensive can begin to open roads. i mean,

how hurtful are you are populous that transfer to will helps of their interests back call them, you know, for the normalized the nation 1st best anti emigrant 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

a view involved the actions you're still have sense arrive to send to that 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 sounds 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 the laptops that gone that front, which by the way, these major one last remark there, it was. one other thing is missing from. ready 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

trunk, but ministration is find another debate going on internally. maybe you guys know 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 go for the next 4 years? those and the republican policy who are not part of this mega movements, 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,

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. all 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,

roll up your sleeves and position your government for what you don't like as the founding fathers one to 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, i guess 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 as 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 this at a inside story from me, elizabeth put on with a whole team care bye for now. the the 1970s was a pivotal time to send them all around theater in the middle east and north africa
