many people are still underground, they only give an official number once a week, the operation is complete from around the world will cost us a warning of extreme winds. i had everybody head across the southern california, fully aware this may be far from the domain of trump is promising what he describes as a golden age for the guy who states the flurry of actions. he's already taken hours off to being sworn in for a 2nd. to a proven controversial so howard from blue shape for us over the next 4 years. this is inside story, the hello and welcome to a special edition of inside story on james base in washington dc. what outside,

1600, pennsylvania avenue, better known as the white house. it has a new occupant, but not a brand new occupant present. donald j trump has started his 2nd to with a blitz of executive orders. in other words, presidential decrees on a wide range of issues all of the controversial some over certain to be challenged in colt. we'll discuss the list notes with politicians, political analysts, textbooks, and members of the media. we're going to get a real world view that so the moment, but 1st the summary of trumps 1st days back in power from katya lopez. how do you on the next is a freeze on all from cracking down on immigration to pardoning january 6 riders. us president donald trump hit the ground running on day one and much is the support base is lead it. very proud of them very front of the journey. never

surrender, never back down. and just like he's been with the american people since they want, we're here to we would have battling the rising cost, trump supporters and critics alike agree on the need to lower inflation. it's really, really hard economy that we're living there right now. and i can't take it anymore . the president has threatened to impose tariffs on imports from china, mexico, and canada. but there is concern, the policies could backfire on american businesses and their customers. it's something that worries small business owners like as well. i it. we deal with over 450, like ordinary people doing extraordinary things. well, let me introduce you to our extraordinary panel today in washington dc. broad cost center. we have adam calla. he's a property manager in texas, nadine mid lea, she's a retard social worker and jeff mayhew, who has a small family business about 3 people, cannot represent more than 300000000 people in this country. but we're getting past

the talking heads today, trying to find out what the americans think about what's going on 1st on introduce you properly. so if i come to begin with just a little bit about you set yourself adam, you 1st. okay. yeah, i'm from a college station in texas area, texas. and then i work in austin, texas as a property manager and got 5 kids just learned backstage. and jeff has has 5 kids as well. and with one i have one on the way as well. and you have a important i'll the thing that you do. yeah. will um i for the last, i guess has been now about 30 years. i've traveled internationally representing united states and folk festivals throughout the world, very big in europe and south america and, and asia. and certain parts that, that represent their culture and their, with music and dance, life music and live dance. and i've played the music and actually been

a dancer with a group called clog america. and now the group is called american folk on some when we've been able to travel for, for many years, doing that. and it's, it's, it's, it's always been a wonderful opportunity. nadine, i don't know if you have musical skills, but very briefly tell me about your musical skills. um, so i am a retired social worker and educator. and originally from new jersey. i don't know if you hear my jersey accent, but i'm living here in montgomery county and i'm basically my current position as retired is um i take care of my grandchildren. okay jeff. while you mentioned, i'm a, i'm a father of 5 1st and then i have a small business that i run with my wife. we do, we print t shirts is what i tell people. it pays the bills. and i love to read or read all sorts of books, history, literature. so it's a how the mind. okay, well, now let's see where you stand politically. i think the easiest way to do that is

ask you about november and how you voted adam. i voted for donald j. trump. okay. nadine? have voted, kamala has. okay, jeff. i left the blank. i know people don't like that, but i didn't go for either. well, we would perhaps go to find out what role anything out. you know. okay, adam, you will the trump simple sir, among the things that he's done is mutually about january the 6th riots on capitol hill attacks on police offices. and yet he is pardons about 1000 any 1600 people, including members of the groups, the pilot boys and the owes keep this. what's your take on that? do you, do you think that's a good thing? i mean, the republicans, i thought with the policy of law and order. yeah. well i, i, essentially, i see in january 6th as a people that were, are peach for picture arctic. they, they felt like there was,

there was an aberration in, in the, in the, in the voting that there was, there was something that was on this there with the delays in the, in the accounts and things like that. and they, you know, they came to washington dc to exercise their, their right as citizens as our country. and you do have a right. so safe space for approaches of people are present as boston peaceful if those are police officers that were attacked while i'm, it should be given that this being through the court system should all these people be positive while it's, it's interesting because i think there were some people that weren't violent at the, at the january 6th, you know, everything that happened there, but there were, i mean, from what i understand there was, there were many that were there just to protest. and i think that there was a lack of, of i guess the military or i guess the national guard or, you know, i know that president trump has stated that he gave nancy pelosi who was in charge

of, of setting up the security for that event. the option of having up to 10000 plus the guards, me to be able to keep that as a, you know, really i, i see those people have as coming to protest. and you know, when, when, when you're upset about what your thoughts should have been in your mind is not a fit their process. i can see where they're coming from. with that. not that it justifies anything violent for sure, but they were in regards to the you know, to the pardons. i don't, i'm not privy to all of the you know, the cases. so i can't really speak to that, but i feel like there probably was get back in office. i am going to pardon and i'm sure not every, not every person as you said, and i'm not every person may have been involved in that. but those that we definitely saw the things that they did, the disrespect and a disregard and the harm that a call. i never thought i would have lived to see something like that. and it was,

it, it is a, it's a sore point. okay, really is jeff and in terms of these problems, that pause of all of these executive orders that have been signed by president trump. now this, this isn't something you present from president obama, the present tense and the level use the executive orders in the past. but it seems it's moving to more or more of these presidential decrees. what do you make of the fact that, you know, it is ruled by decree? now, often in this country? i mean, i think congress needs to step up into its job and push back on the executive. and i mean, we shouldn't be ruled by decree. and, you know, the idea of just partnering a whole bunch of people or, you know, look at buying it. and he parted his whole family on the way out the door. i mean it, why should one person have that much power? i'm pretty sure our founders would look at that and go they shouldn't. we created a system to make sure it didn't happen. and i think we've just, um,

a lot of citizens, us as people we don't hold the right people accountable. we're very frustrated at the president, but we're not really frustrated at our local representatives in congress, adam, i mean a whole range of political issues that people talk about, given your life, your family. lots, issue number one, as well as the last 4 years. i think that one of the major issues for, for me and my family is just the, the amount of things that our money can buy as opposed to, before we've seen a, you know, a lot of just our household items, groceries, services. um, i mean going out to eat is, is almost, it's just, it's just expensive and trying to, to really make ends meet. and i think you're probably speak for, for, for all of us here that it's, it's, you know, we've actually, i've seen that hurt our pocketbooks in that, in that regard. i have 5 kids having to provide for them is, is

a challenge that would say that's, that's probably the main one for me. they didn't do things. you go to try harris. do you think that's the issue that she lost on? i mean, to go back to the famous setting, it's the economy, stupid to say, um, yeah, you know, we're all going through this thing with the economy and, and i'm not trying to downplay it. or however, i know from me what bothered me most where rates of people. so i want my, i want a place where i can raise my kids where they can be safe. and there's opportunity for them to grow into the adults that they're meant to be. and i think that's, you know, a lot of the problem that we have with the economy is there just isn't opportunity for regular people in the marketplace. um, you know, and i, you know, you get into immigration health care. i mean, i've the small business, you know,

you how much it cost to pay for your family's health care, out of a small business. and then when you get health care, you get a little problem with your eye and you go to the doctor, you find out it's going to, you can't get an appointment. it takes 2 months to get an appointment. you know, we just, we have all these systems in place and none of them really function properly. i think we just need to get back to that fundamental ideas of like creating safety and opportunity for people to, to live their lives. adams, you again, as the trump bosa on, on a, on a panel. i mean, he, among the things he's going to do a quote, we will terrace in tech support and congress to enrich us citizens. do you think that's the right way forward? i mean, he's going to have a new department to take money from foreign countries, the external revenue service trouble with this is talking to economists as the historical precedent to go back in history the last time this was done this 1930, some utility tire, of fact res terrace by 20 percent. and global trade fell by 2 thirds in the off

them off. i mean, according to economists, it seems a pretty risky thing to do. but he just the threat. maybe it's, it's his demo to make threats like that. and it's, i think it's indigo association and strategy. but i'm, i'm thinking of, of the fact that for the last, and it's something that he said in one of his speeches and the knocker, ration that for a set, something like, for far too long, we've taxed our citizens and then ship that money off to ukraine. to, to protect form borders into into help others where as you know, we haven't had, have, haven't had heart problems here. solve in our country as much. i mean, we have problems here with our economy, with our, with our border, with our immigration, things like that. and i feel like, you know, the ability to, to bring money in is

a good thing. and i think that if we can do that through our powers and trade powers of trade and powers of being a leader and in the global market, i think that that's and that's not necessarily a bad thing. but so it's got, you know, a small business and when you put those trades and you buy your goods from overseas, now it makes it hard in terms of what should be done to economically i really think that as a, as from a business model and some of the things he's saying from a business model may make sense. however that's, that's where i take off position. that's where much when i think about holistically, because we are global economy, we are global people. right? so if you take from one end and then hold onto it, and that's how i think this whole golden gilded age that he's projecting

to be. it's all about us. but we cannot work in isolation. we do not live in isolation, right? so that was my stake as a social, i don't know if you look at people who probably a worried right now that people who work for the federal government because each stuff with a hiring freeze, it took it all sorts away. that's why it's the federal government looks. do you think that's right? of the federal grants in freezing the federal employees. i think that his in his interest is, is america's interest. i believe. and the man he's got to do this, jeff is he loves, he's going to run this human department of government efficiency. he is the richest man on the that'll be people look at this, say, this is all set top to help the most wealthy in society. know the forest well as somebody who's a big sy, fy nerd, i really wish you all would just focus on getting us tomorrow's. the video as

opposed to worrying about this whole those thing. i mean, it sets up a lot of conflict of interest. i mean, you know, trump came out and he's, you know, out there criticize, and everybody about, you know, the corruption in the government. and then we're aligning people, you know, in positions where they can be corrupt and in, in, you know, invest in their own interest. and so your point about the federal workers, i mean, it's a, it's patronage, right? it's how the government moves. it's mechanisms he wants to put his people in place so he can get done what he wants to get done, but he wants it to last for administration after ministration. and you know, i think he wants to put people, there are gonna not be wasteful and not, and not be inefficient. and he wants to put the good people in. and i think is what he advised me to do. it, is he, the one hiring them? does he really know what he's, you know, the people he's put in place, or is he just replacing a whole bunch of people without actually taking the time? you know, investigative, they should be in the position. i think in the 1st term he maybe did a lot more of that, but i think now having, you know, had

a 1st term in an office and then having 4 years to think about it. i think that he's going to be much more strategic. it was of the people that he puts in adam, i'd like to move you on this account because you come from texas. it's one of the border states that seems to be in there. one of the big fee issues. if you look at those executive orders, many of them are about that. i mean, do you think he's got it right on this? well i being in austin, being in a border state. um we like i sort of manage apart. we met at apartments. austin is, has a, had a huge influx of people come in from california, especially because of the cobit policies of governor newsome and, and they, they, they came to austin and in very high numbers. but us as a businessman, i mean, some of these are very useful. are they not for the me? if it's how do i think it is a good economy? but, but what we're, what we're seeing now though, is we're seeing a lot of influx also of, of illegal aliens come also across the board. and we have,

we have a, a specifically in the progress that we have. we have a blue collar demographic that is largely and documented. and a lot of great people, but there's, there's, there's some in there that are there trouble. some also 19, i mean this is a land built on immigration is a north, that is what america is. now, old of your families of us so many years have come here and now it's time to pull the drawbridge up is right. and it's, it's again disheartening. i think again, i'm going back to the system and if we look at why people want to come here and we look at what's going on, where they're coming from, right? there's a problem. there's a problem that needs to be addressed. we're trying to stop them to getting into our

country. right. but why do they want to come here and, and for a number of reasons. but if they're not safe where their, where their home countries are, there is a problem. now of course, then we're talking about foreign governments and how we're going to work with that and we've gotten involved in things that we really shouldn't have gotten involved with them long ago. i'll say that, you know, but again, it's a systemic problem. it's a global problem and some of the tactics that many of the administrations have taken regarding immigration had been despicable. he's not the 1st. all you confident was in fact as commander in chief, the man with the finger on the new clip up. well, i mean, it doesn't really matter what i think he's capable of. if he believes he can be that thing and he wants to be that thing that i support him to be that thing cuz we do need it. we need somebody to bring us together and he absolutely has opportunity to do this specifically on this issue right here with emigration. we haven't had

serious immigration reform since 1986. congress just isn't doing their job. he could leverage all his, his bad talk to force congress in the writing actual emigration while, because the issue that you're talking about is we got people come across the board or who we don't know who they are or what they're doing. and we also have a whole bunch of people coming here because they're just looking for opportunity, which america can provide and can in return help us citizens. we should find a way to allow those people to be citizens. so they're paying part, you know, their, their fair share of taxes, they're helping the formal economy grow and expand small businesses, giving the labor they need. and then on top of that, we're able to then actually that and keep out the people we don't want here. because if you go in to neighborhoods that are, you know, have a lot of different countries in there. the people that they ran from followed them here, and they're not happy about it. and you know, donald trump's base in a lot of ways, you know, i, i took a part time job working at home depot and i was in there last night talking to the, to the guys and they want. yeah, i brought up the idea of citizens,

but the amnesty for the citizens are here and you think well of america support or wouldn't want that, that will they absolutely want that because they want people to help them do their jobs. people are out there just struggling right now, and people kind of help a nadine on the point of, of, of being a piece make the same time, for example, in the same speech. he said he was taking that the panama canal. there you show, this is a someone who was not going to stop some other conflict. yeah, i don't know. i wrote heritage sykes but as it's temples of lakes and irrigation canals, a beat because of many of its inhabitants are being relocated. people in power investigates the alleged force evictions of thousands of families, the bathroom for the soul of anchored box parked one on the jersey. the shaker model was for translation and international understanding is inviting nominations for its
