hello and welcome to the program. i'm elizabeth put on them. a sweet thing. 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. so it has years of the trail 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, at that one of the worst, anybody that would allow me is a people to pour through our borders from jails. prisons, mid to lives, the to citizen say to silence in his and not your reason. speech. trump, also one field sweeping proposals to shake up the us energy production. drill,

baby drill of 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 source messaging protests were held in some cities with demonstrators sing. trump strong man approach is dangerous and driven by you go abroad. protesters also rallied and brussels fearing trump disruptive style will turn long time allies into adversary. i'm concerned about a lot of things climate, but also human rights. and i'm very afraid of big tech 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 we're taking it back. some 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 this 2nd term. now, what supporters and critics seem to be preparing for 4 years and expected to catch a little bit of the yen. alta 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 start with the 1st quick answer from all of you on what a force of trends in no goal address. rena, i'll stop 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 styles beach 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 to 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 james?

but so i'll 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 sports, 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 integration. 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 at an attendance papers were having

mentioned 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 ministration might not reflect what the rest of the country wants. right. and if we move on into the executive orders, the actions that here in an arena here in washington dc, that was that capacity with numerous family members of him behind him, his entire family, the vice president. and it was just, it was the moment in 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 promises be the entire arena 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 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 day to but on the space value. why did the 2nd order is very signs? are either just symbolic, but they can actually going to in fact,

because they will be challenged in court for their unconstitutional. and so they wouldn't pass muster any more. but the other thing, i think it's really important to note that the reason why people are thinking that trouble be a little bit more advantaged in this election is that he punch so many of drawers who were similar to his spot process or were sympathetic to his causes on the court, 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 cases were stopped around to find the most sympathetic. c that's been escalated things up to the supreme court and that's a piece that we know that he was able to put more drawers on back to being for that as part of the assessor. and so what's taught, tilted the audiologist 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 fat ration. yeah, yeah. not a surprise because uh you see, if not from that, certainly as far as associates, natalie, natalie is on boss. uh, making a lot of statements in the last couple of weeks, months uh, on social media supports the far right bodies in europe, including the equity of germany, which is significant because the election in germany is due next month. and that is playing in domestic politics and driving out of calls from the okay, so far i apologize. she's with that to nigel firewalls and others but familiar faces you, you would have expected those people to be there. one person, the interesting enough is charles best friend in europe probably, which is subject to all about the private historical hungary, for some reason the 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 your it's important to have that. and down the road, there's going to be quite

a lot of debate and difficulty and control of a say, a number of issues. these are the us uh you are relations of all right. i mean 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. having the us on board, not only for the point of view of the money, but also from the bonded with the expertise and the amount of thought is going to be a big loss to the top. you which of these organizations by such an important bought it. well that, that is not lisa is rolled 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 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, a level level, kennedy which,

which will follow the piece of filters going forward. a great good. how rita, let me come to you with some of those appointments. you know, it's be nursing that very few have and political appointments that they have been elected, you know, politicians that are being 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, 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 in his time out of the office when he was kicked out of 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 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 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 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 me, we didn'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, chums, rise and politics. i wonder what you force of, in has an overall 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 winning 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 challenges because next generation doesn't see it this way. but also kind of funding to american universities is problem mac 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 tweets 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. victor oberon wrote, i mean how hurtful a year it's populous that transferred to will helps of their interests back call them, you know, for the normalized, the nation 1st. the 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 he would prevail. and because he has that as a shot in the all 4 days potters has no doubt. uh, neither as people know for your over the last 4 or 5 years and uh, that's pretty well known. but uh, okay, no, we'll see just how uh this uh, from the administration will deal with the reviewing file. right. i suspect that he won't have much time to european leaders in general. there will be a problem with 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 problem that i suspect that within the trump administration is find another debate going on internally. maybe you guys

know more about that than i'd as to how to as to how you created going for the manual of ukraine. no mention of ukraine as no confidence about gaza when he spoke off to the 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 this what, how does the read a, how does the republican party going forward the next 4 years? those and the republican party 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 people's like they connect with whatever president trump is putting out there this time is probably a republican and fix it. so, you know, roll up your sleeves and position your government for what you don't like as a 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 a dot com. as a further discussion to go to a facebook page that facebook dot com forward slash a inside story. you can also join the conversation on x handle is at a inside story from me, elizabeth put on with a whole team care bye for now the from the impact of the us selections, escalating conflict in the middle east. and the urgency of climate action upfront sets the stage for serious debate on out
