the telephone, so many people around killing people who were on the, on the government for the talent and the final possible dentist on the price of peace investigate the devastating human cost of the world. and the failure to secure lasting keeps pulling out his era. the only trump is promising. what he describes is a golden age who 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 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 any 5 zeros, an annual say those maybe 2 or 3 or 5 of those that are in manufacturers in america trumps plans for mass t partitions are being watched closely, especially along the southern border, an estimated 11000000 undocumented immigrants live in the us. when the mazda is the oven, anything there's a lot of uncertainty. there's been a lot of talk here at the border, but nobody really knows what's going to happen. or 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. catchy

a little bit. so the yen alj a 0 for insights story. senator amy type of shobit. chad 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, texas area, texas a 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, well, um i've, 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 was 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 stroke on sound when we've been able to travel for, for many years, doing that. and it's, it's, it's, it's a way, it's been a wonderful opportunity. nadine, i don't know if you have musical skills, but very briefly tell me about your musical skills. so i am a with 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 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 cheapest. 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've seen january 6th as a people that were our page 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 and 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 or people are present as boston peaceful if those are police officers that were attacked. well, i'm, it should only given that this being through the court system should all these people be pardoned 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, i think that there was a lack of, of, i guess, the military or i guess 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 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 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 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 from yeah, um, you know, we're all going through this thing with the economy and, and i'm not trying to downplay it. a however, i know for me,

what bothered me most where rates of people. so the problem that we have with the economy is there just isn't opportunity for regular people in the marketplace. but, you know, and i, you know, you get into immigration health care. i mean, i've a small business, you know 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 at a met 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 in 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 in 1930 this me totally tired of fact. res terrace by 20 percent. and global trade fell by 2 thirds in the off them off. they've been it. according to economists, it seems a pretty risky thing to do. but it 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 and, 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 in the now aggravation 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 and to help others. whereas, you know, we, we haven't,

i had, have had heart problems here solved 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 companies want to come back and that it, china will be able to basically will be more even with our trade. and it's, you know, and, and strong arming them for the sake that you think it's going, going to be a benefit for us. and i think that that's, that's where i take opposition. that's where much when i think about holistically, because we aren't 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 works. do you think that's right. well, i helped 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 make the most impact and have the, the interest of, of our country. i mean his, his, his whole agenda is america 1st and um, looking back from the previous 4 years, that was his agenda, the previous, even his previous administration, we had 4 years of him and the economy did pretty well with that. i guess the point i was trying to make earlier,

jeff is that i think that i don't know that it would be more expensive to get goods because i think that to get through his, his, with his strategy in place. i think with whether it's threats or whether it actually comes to pass that he does put terrace on on these countries is designed to, to, to drive down the prices for us and into less than that deficit. the we're that we have with these that with china, with, with, you know, with candidate, he's brought a candidate recently. but you know, to the hiring 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 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 up to help the most wealthy in society. know the forest as well as somebody who's a big sy fy nerd. i really wish you all would just focus on getting us to mars the

video, as opposed to worrying about this, all those things. 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 and 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 in to 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 in the good people and i think is what you have right now. 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? mean best to get 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. it's easy because 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 the more about that. i mean, do you think he's got it right on this well, being in austin, being in a border state. um we, like i said i manage apart. we manage 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 ultimate? 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 the illegal aliens come also across the board and we have, we have, uh,

i work 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 nadine, 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 off is right. and it's, it's again disheartening. i think, again, i'm going back to the system. 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 it, they are not safe where they're, where their home countries are. there's 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. well, i'll go, 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 thieves, 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, dial sounds 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. uh the amnesty for the citizens are here and you think well of america supporter 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, that you showed this is a someone who was not going to stop some other conflict. yeah, i don't know. 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 the dental and the. yeah. right. to be a peacemaker but you're going to yeah. very confusing. well, thank you very much. all of you, i said they was an extraordinary panel and they delivered on that. thanks to adam caleb, nadine medley. i'm 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
