absolutely not i think he's proven in a transformational worse in american politics. it's true that he has led this movement this make america great again. but it's also true that that movement existed in a lot of ways and was looking for near shit on the presidential level if you go back to 2008 with the mccain candidate sears who doesn't well with ron the i don't think that these millions of what he called the forgotten men and women really felt represented the do feel and did feel represented in his own leadership so i think he has a bright future as a force in american politics i'm not sure everybody on the republican side will agree with me and i'm on i don't want to over bring you or our beer is quite another for us but i think it's as an aging thing about the joker is that depending on the game it could be a tall trump it would be

a skip cart or it would be the lowest ranking card and i think it reflects your he act or it would be a choice that the republican party faces right now is that it's they would use them as their biggest asset they would try to ignore him or they could try to ostracize and destroy which strategy is most likely and reach 30 days well slightly toward a vast. i think there are 2 horses in the republican party and this is true in the democratic party as well i mean one is be inside establishment or says that's what you're referring to. the 2nd would be the people and if you look at the popularity of that trump has the people in the republican party it's about 90 percent and in the country it's about 50 percent which is pretty similar to where obama was as far as you know about how the country being supported by a 90 percent support rate within the party really means that the force is going to

come from grassroots it becomes difficult not impossible with difficult for this establishment to ultimately ignored and ultimately he really has not just been a transformational worse within the country but within the party itself in it's important to remember when he ran in 2016 with well over a dozen opponents part of his message was that the republican party need to change and he did set about changing it to a considerable extent. well the one thing about donald trump is that they were ability ratings remains very strong as the one of the polls recently and it shows that it's as strong as men's it will cease but there i don't know whether it's a good thing or not but it shows you know that you know a lot of people appreciate what he's unfair ability ratings also pretty strong and american political analysis is so opinionated these days that it's almost

impossible to you know make an educated. come up with an educated actual opinion on how much support he really has a was one of time based on your own intuition and what is it that he can still bring to young woman or his broader political base and what is it that his attention liability needs. well the most obvious role that he can play as well in 2022 we will have the off year congressional elections going to be a lot of decisions that need to be made about republican primary races and what sort of ideology what sort of political figures do we gravitate to is that you know do we challenge some of these establishment forces i believe in a lot of ways the tea party movement which i was very involved in founding and leading kind of lay the groundwork in a lot of ways for populous politics right of center in this country who are just

grassroots political movement really in the country's history and when you think about the fact that the red that trauma not well known you know that it's spoken had tea party rally in 2011 was impressed with the movement i think into a lot of these tactics out of it and that we utilized i think 2022 and then ultimately will have to decide on a nominee in 2024. he certainly shows all indications of having interest in that and. our cycles our presidential cycles are really long running i mean it's been a 2 year process so immediate genaro here it come to the crux of the problem because what trumps experience has demonstrated is that one can be an american president in title but not in stature with who i believe he to govern. they be it takes that of sabotage of work it was pretty apparent goal for his dick

detractors and he supporter and i mean he's that tractors do privately in doing that do you think that was primarily driven by a hatred or dislike or trying to race the only or was it ultimately the rejection or big brother politics that he and you represent. probably a little bit of the i think the inclination of any president when they come in is to kind of put their own stamp on the office you know obviously trump did that as well when he came in in 2700 in a number of the obama executive orders were peeled and a lot of what trump accomplished more and more years in fact has been repealed by the by. in pretty quick order alternately wallet trump may not be exerting direct political influence there's going to be a compare and contrast i don't see but in order his policies really being the recipe for this country's future i think the country was sort of aware that in the

election i think you could become increasingly aware that as the results don't really match up to the promises. now i know that you've been in politics for quite some time he used to serve as a speechwriter for president bush sr i know that he embraced trondra fairly early on as somebody who had had enough agency to you challenge the bit to take on this occult swan but taking office and executing power very different things do you think he was asked successful in the latter as he was in the former. i think you make a good point it he there's the politics of running for the office there is the reality of delivering on fundamental transformations if we're going to and i think the president was very successful particularly in those 1st 3 years

before the pandemic affected the economy and the public health system improve such a distraction that in one of ways you know the swamp wasn't drained no one's under any illusions about that a lot of work remains to be done we continue to border and immigration issues trade issues but i think what he has accomplished is putting those 2 primary issues which were not really on the republican agenda at the forefront so this idea of border security and reforming immigration which definitely needs to be done and resolving our trade position and frankly confronting china and india which is i think he properly pointed out really the predominant. adversary of the united states in the 21st century and of the world not just of the united states well i think there is a. more or less an agreement that even here in russia has good political instincts

. but i urge you and one of the present to say that he's not that good at. his ideas into practice and really managing his personality and. how the frequency with which he is so tell people where we're at change throughout his administration clearly on to mind the success of his mission and i think that's ultimately a trans dilemma the very things that feel his rise to power make it very difficult for him to execute that as the republicans are looking forward towards the midterm elections and they an ex-president. do you think any division of labor is possible do you think trump himself with agree to being a sort of a locomotive or an ice breaker for for the people who ones in power could govern more strategically or perhaps less do visibly. well i think the operative firstly i

agree that is my been my position that if there was any deficiency in the last 4 years it was the fact that we had this transformational president with with really grand aspirations that were broadly supported by the american people in the most populous present in this country's recent history that were matched by the appointments that were made in the administration i think maybe with his background in business he might have underestimated the importance of personnel but just having worked in the white house in the executive branch of government so much rests on personnel you can have a great visionary as president who can even set broad directives but there are so many places where policies can get stalled or they can fail or or there cannot be sufficient the z. has been and i do think he was dick to my eyes in

a lot of ways and was evidenced by people who left in the middle of the ministration with who were critical of him who really had no role being in the administration they didn't support the and probably shouldn't have been there but i think he probably did think that it was big enough to know we right that ship but. there were so many distractions and particularly the the russian death to gay shit in the ukraine and impeachment both of which were baseless and. both of which really were a product of individuals within the administration undermining mr jones let me everything a back to the question that i pose do you think any sort of free grouping is possible to have of the. way will the elections with trump recognizing that he strength lies in mobilizing the electorate that may be delegating the governing party. they needed greedy of governance just somebody else besides i don't think he

enjoyed that all that much time in being in office and being involved in all those minor details do you think i see and the g.o.p. establishment groups have any deal on that to maximize their common chances for the sake of their own base it's tough to really identify anyone who would be immediately. replacing a hole in that wall that he would know comfortable with i don't i get the sense that he still feels he has a lot of faith in them i think he does a lot of footage where you look at the last 2 weeks of that campaign which by the way was like a 3 or 4 weeks after he was austral as you coded it was you know 245 campaign rallies of the day in several different states the energy wells are there the passion is there and as you could see into some of the most recent comments he made over the last few days he's still. a positive

vision of the future and also seen animosity about some of the oppositions well mr jones i we have to take a very short break right now but we'll get back in just a few moments states you. the world is driven by. those great.

thinks. we fear to ask. this is really the beginning of the changing of the guard you know we're now handing the baton up to china as the number one economy in the 21st century the numbers are there the statistics are there the relationships in your peer of you are there the relationship with russia and iran is there you know the rich and the relationship all over africa is also there. welcome back to worlds apart with michael jones co-founder of the tea party movement mr jones before the break we discuss the republican strategy

a little bit let's talk about your political opponents and heard you say in some other interviews that the same people who are underestimated the tea party movement the same people who underestimated donald trump happened to be the people who hadn't traveled much around the united states maybe they have traveled a lot about around the world but they don't know of the american heartland all that well now after 4 years of don't think these people are very determined not to allow that happen average again do you think that will miss asset they down being more a human to the needs to the aspirations. of the common folks in the united states. unfortunately i don't see a policy agenda that they're offering they the democrats would but we're vying to ration and it's going to resonate really with this you know the center in the heartland of the country and it is undeniably true that we there was

a decision in this country to make it in new york city in washington d.c. and you can spend a lot of your time there and feel you understand the country but really don't and there are so many factors mentioned tradename grecian urn but like there were other issues to hit the crisis that was under arrest near under-appreciated the the impact that access to health care and rural areas was presenting many these are job creation and move you know mobilization within a conduit that's really changed profoundly over the last few decades all of those were issues that they might have put some rhetoric on and still might put some rhetoric on but they have no real policy solution and you know certainly the direction that that binds taking things early on in. immigration and in. moving some of these positions on china which was impacting our country

and and ultimately putting more to increases on taxes those are things that are going to resonate with working men and women in the country. i studied them countless right in the middle of the united states some 20 years ago and i think even at the time that they have banned them and the american heartland . brought in by deindustrialization i think that's the core of the problem was pretty obvious back down and i think no one to be frank with you can change that in 4 years or even 8 here simply because it's rather than the. the economic model that the united states has adopted for itself and that it still pushes on on the rest of the world trump has tried to challenge that it he got bitten for that we still don't know the full extent of his potential punishment for daring to do so do you

think anyone else. having seen what the how trump has been sabotaged how he may be persecuted because of trying what he tried to do do you thing any one else would have enough daring to do to get. you to read that's the message is that which news drives and you know don't anyone be daring enough to try once again. now i don't think that's going to deter trump individually i don't think most importantly that it's going to turn 75000000 americans you voted for him which even though he lost importantly was more. than 63000000 votes he received in 2016 so there is a strong force ality in the country no less there are seeing that and in ministration that's addressing needs issues in some capacity and there's no sign of

that so far i think they're going to become increasingly politically gauge as the tea party movement 1st was in 2009 and we think about that impact you know we came back won the 2010 off year elections with 60 some tea party aligned house members that was the end of obama's legislative agenda for the. meeting for. 6 to 8 years well speaking of which can i can ask you specifically about some of the founding and ideas of the tea party movement because they think with limited government and lower taxes which i guess was understandable for 2009 but for do you 1021 when transnational corporations will such huge influence it infers that they apply today if electoral campaigns as well when they rake in it's huge profits and the expense of the. little man do you

think that this position is still ideologically sustainable who if not a strong national government again reigning in those powerful forces. you know i don't separate the 2 i think firstly on the issue of tax relief that there is still a lot of momentum and strength behind that issue and particularly for. low and middle income tax relief on the issue of the role of the federal government i think the pandemic hasn't assessed the tape did. the stimulus and it you know i'm heavily . gauged federal government on that issue that's understandable to the base of the tea party movement and the trunk. movement i think the issue really relies predominantly in how that money is being allocated so for instance democrats want

to put a lot of that into a lot of the blue states and cities in and democrat states that have been poorly run to continue to be failed approaches that's not something that support of i think that even the direct payments to the american people have been generally supported including. in the tea party movement is not necessary to stimulate this economy create the demand that's going to get particularly small business back into. line in this country because that's the biggest risk right now big companies that are well capitalized they're multinational almost certainly are going to get through some of the get through all this some of them like amazon wal-mart are actually prospering in this economy the biggest concern is the community in communities are the smaller. stores and whatnot that might employ a few individuals and how do what did they do can they be sustained through the

pandemic and it's in our response and yes you know understand that this is a natural consequence that whether they are free market approach i mean i base this j. . if it's logical. i think it's also pretty clear around the world that there is. an increase in chance and then national insurance national leads and it appears most laughs national police see national government strong national governments as a good rap impediment. were that avarice to reshape their world to their liking or robards their bottom lines so i gather there i'm serve for beating myself but how can you. rein in those companies with a limited government approach. well we're not looking to rein them in we just want to maintain a fair playing field so no one is saying those companies shouldn't exist

and they provide valuable services where you don't want to see in particular that think in this pandemic environment where there they don't have the access to credit capital that larger companies have is that they're placed at disproportionate. disadvantage and end up going out of business which further you know empowers the larger companies and almost an old a leader or a monopoly formation we want to maintain a free economy where smaller companies can provide niche services and local services and the would. be unfair playing well but as you would need to regulate camera. out of the mill we need so for instance antitrust legislation very important can't have too much this is particularly true in technology industry where i think we're seeing too much power

in the hands of the handful of companies it's not received the level of policy scrutiny that it deserves it's receive a lot of rhetoric but it hasn't received the policy attention and you know and it may be true and read in retail as well as well i think that's an area another industry sector where there's concerns you want to maintain i mean part of the free market economy is maintaining competent competitive macro economic circumstances where etc talking about balance the market they're actually not 2 very compatible you either have a balanced regulation not see you. in they see it or you let it all figure out. force anyway we have only a few minutes left and i do want to ask you one important question about the numbers because the tea party movement has seen mass immigration as a threat to the country and i think to its own political representation for quite

some time and biden and ministration has come up with many ideas on how to change the rules of the game in that particular area there had of the next wave of elections but 10 surely increasing its electoral base not just by millions but maybe even tan's of billions of people i'm talking about the proposal to grant the path to citizenship for the dreamers and also thinking about the changes to create new american states what have you if that happens how is that going that change the balance of power in american politics and wouldn't that essentially strip people like yourself from any hole for federal political representation. well i start with the fact that unfortunately there's been too much political

consideration and non of policy considerations but as far as the impact on the country itself that should be the debate we're having is it is it or is it not in the interest of the american citizen to have 11 to 30000000 illegal and aliens rewarded for violating our federal border policies and i would contend in a whole bunch of ways it is not in their interest all they are doing i mean that they are already in the country so let's legalize them but. i guess the problem that i as an outsider to see and that is too much political logic and all those. all coming to the fore coincidentally i had. another major election i often joke if there were these were trumped political loyalists that were entering cross our southern border democrats could not get that wall built fast enough. or were

they do see there's 2 forces that i think are detrimental that are driving this number one is they do see a political constituency that could potentially arise out of that base given that these are woo wage largely non english speaking. heavily welfare dependent. individuals and number 2 the fact that there is of this larger force that you're correctly willing to that wants to maintain or drive wages down you do that by keeping labor surplus up but if but on our side i don't really think it's the political consideration is driving this is much it's more we've had concerns about. you know the issue of illegal alien. which has been considerable drugs gangs but that issues with wages and jobs

directly in the pandemic the last thing you want to be doing is crowding our jobs for americans that are working to get back into the workforce you do that when you give a weapon to 30000000 americans it passed to you you know to full employment in the country. well mr jones really we have to leave it there thank you very much i think sometimes it is thank you very much we do with you i thank you for watching come to syria again next week the party.

in the 1920 s. and thirty's several 100 african-americans moved to the soviet union and many of their descendants still live in russia. again at the risk of you know no rush but us throw up our stuff. on things. back home black american suffered from racism and a complete lack of prospects. is that the real. one by else is. the by doing. so they decided to leave everything behind and start a new life in a country about which they knew almost nothing at all some of the. ground great crowds. to move a few. almost a 100 years later history repeating itself.
