a service collateral damage has collateral damage. that's what acts reality is leading to what we're seeing that will allow me to push back for a moment. corporate is real effective. it's a little bit standing from the impact of the us selections, the escalating conflict in the middle east of the urgency of climate action upfront sets the stage for serious debate on out jersey or the domain of trump is promising. what he describes is a golden age for united states. the flurry of actions, he's already taken hours off to being sworn in for a 2nd to a proven controversial. so how would from reshape for us over the next 4 years? this is inside story, the

hello and welcome to a special edition of the inside story on james bass in washington, dc. what, outside 1600 pennsylvania avenue, better known as the white house. it has a new coupons, 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 court. we're going to discuss a list, not with politicians, political analysts, experts and members of the media. but 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 or 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 as a support base is laid it. very proud of the very front of the journey. never see the american shops plans for mass deportations are being watched closely, especially along the southern border. an estimated 11000000 undocumented immigrants lives in the us. when the mazda is the oven, anything there's a lot of uncertainty. there's been a lot of talk here with the board, but nobody really knows what's going to happen. the orders are so trump signed more than 200 executive orders on his 1st day in office. and he said, many more will follow over the next 4 years. patsy, a little bit of the un, which is 0 for insights story. sen, amy, club of shaw, the chat or the committee that organize the presidential. no gratian in his speech referred to the people of this nation,

the ordinary people doing extraordinary things. well, let me introduce you to our extraordinary panel today in washington, dc. broad cost center. we have adam keller. he's a property manager in texas. nadine midland, 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 there with music and dance as 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 somebody we've, we've been able to travel for, for many years doing that. and it's 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 more about why you did that as we continue our discussion. and they do not like you to take you back a couple of years. okay. trump left office in 2021. it was immediately off to

generate the 6 bite and took office. at that point, did you think trump would ever be back? no. not at all. i never know. i didn't think and to be here today in trump 2025 is very confusing. very confusing for me. i did not think it was going to happen. jeff . i mean, i thought it was possible. i didn't, you know, i didn't necessarily think it would happen, but i didn't typically don't roll anything out. you know. okay, adam, you will the trump simple sir. among the things that he's done is, and we've talked about january the 6 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, was everything that happened there, but there were, i mean, from what i understand there was, there were many of that were there just to protest. and i, 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 fair process. i can see where they're coming from. is that not that it justifies anything violent for sure, but they were in regards to the you know, to that and then now to have those perpetrators. pardon?

because he said he was going to do that. if i 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's, 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, in the liberal, used 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 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. 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 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. well, 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 you think you voted for 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. however,

i know for me what bothered me most where rights of people. so immigration, women's rights, health rights. that's what i was concerned about in this election. and maybe maybe because i am a, obviously i am a woman and i have a family. we all have families, but those are the things that i looked at more. first is the economy or what about you, jeff? what was the god that would be called a be be your top issue, and let me, i didn't so that every country will, that seems off because it is stuff that's very high inflation. and actually, if you speak to the economists, this company is doing a lot better than many others. yeah, i mean, i think we have a tendency to look at our problems and think that they're worse than they are. me for me, safety, an opportunity. you know, i want my own

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. you know, and i, you know, you get into that immigration health care. i mean, i've a 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, to adam. you again, as the trump bosa 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 is a historical precedent to go back in history the last time this was done, this 1930, this new totally tired of fact. res terrace by 20 percent. and global trade fell by 2 thirds and the off them also being according to economists, it seems a pretty risky thing to do. but it gives 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 non gratian that for, and he said 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, we haven't had,

have had hired problems here solve in our country as much. i mean, we have problems here with our economy, with our, with our border and 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 still just a small business. and when you put those trades and you buy your goods from overseas, now it makes it harder to get those goods. so now i have less opportunity in the marketplace. i have less things to sell. you know, you have, you, can you combine the trade restrictions with the lack of labor, and if you're a small entrepreneur out there and you want to create opportunity in the marketplace, you wanna hire people, you just can't and you can't find products to sell. so how does raising trades and making it harder to get this stuff that we need help americans?

yeah. think go ahead and going back to what he was saying. i think it, it's the, you know, i guess the threat of doing that is, i think he's, he's does that. he's trying to set it up to where we'll bring back business back to the united states to where it's going to be more business here. more and more companies want to come back in that it, china will be able to basically will be more even with our trade. and it's, you know, basically to, to give us more opportunity. but the idea a bully was going to ask you if you were full of a social social worker. yeah. where do you think the priorities 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 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 mistake 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 based on federal government works. do you think that's right as well? i pumped some of these very essential roles. i think that what he's doing, he's shaking things up right now. i think that he's trying to put in the people that are going to of the federal,

grants and fries of the federal employees. i think that his in his interest is, is america's interest, i believe. and the man, and 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. so be people look at this, say this is all set up to help the most wealthy in society. know the forest well as somebody who's a big sy, fy nerd, i really wish you lot would just focus on getting us to mars the video, as opposed to worrying about this whole dose 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, they're gonna not be wasteful and not. and not be inefficient and he wants to put the good people in, i think is what you have. i mean, what 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, best of it if 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 with the people that he puts in adam. i'd like to move you on that for time because you come from texas. it's one of the border states that seems to be under one of the big fi issues. if you look at those exec of orders, many of the more about that. i mean, do you think he's got it right on this? well, i being in austin, being in a border state. 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 coven policies of governor newsome and, and they, they, they came to austin and in very high numbers. but as, as a businessman, i'm ending 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 they're, 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, so i'm gonna give them that one. i'll, i'll throw your bone on that. one is not the 1st. however, people need to be treated with decency that yes, there, but there are things that we can do to handle it in a different way. and, well, i would say that, that the way that it's going right out, any refugees that's, that's a different mean that's, that's a legitimate thing. okay. the, when you, you have unlimited people coming across the border. that, you know, we don't know, we don't know who they are. i, i, i think the president trump once, once everybody to come. but just through the front door so that we know who you are . i don't think that he's that time aggression at all. i think that he's pro immigration, but he doesn't want it. he wants to our country to be a country of laws that it is a we should have a country of laws. just one of the things that he said in his no girl speech is

that he's going to be a pacemaker. and the unit fire, i mean, does that match what you think about donald trump and all you confident with him back as commander in chief, the man with the finger on the nuclear about. 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 immigration, we haven't had serious immigration reform since 1986. congress just isn't doing their job. he could leverage all his, his bad talk, the 1st congress into writing actual emigration while, because the issue that you talk 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 american 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, given 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, dial shrugs base in a lot of ways. and 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 of the m. s. the, for the citizens. they're here and you think well of america supporter wouldn't want that. know 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 peacemaker. 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's not going to stop some of the conflict. yeah, i don't know. i, i it's, um,

it's like having this air piece and another one in my other year and it say 2 different things like i'm, i'm really just double in the right to be a peace maker, but you're going to yeah, i'm very confusing. well thank you very much. all of you. i said they was an extraordinary panel and they did limit on that. thanks to adam collab, nadine medley and the jeff mayhew. remember, you could watch this program daily on television, or whatever you want on the out. is there a phone that we're on a website, which is their adult calm, we'd like to hear from you post your comments on facebook. facebook dot com forward slash ha inside story on x while we are at a inside story. next time on inside story, i'll be back here to discuss the trump support on policy for a 2nd to until then for me, james base and all the team in dc. bye for now the
