but i know that the institutions remain and, and the systematic undermining of american institutions is at the hands of this president. and certainly he's not, i would give him credit. he's done an incredibly successful job and undermining authority and undermining sort of the american institutions that we, that we rely upon to do things like the peaceful transition of power. so. so will it be inside of china? absolutely. will it happen? absolutely. ribbit chan. we have hillary clinton to quote, reelection telling joe biden not to except and not to make any kind of concession, you know. and then donald trump was accused in 2016 of not accepting the electoral outcome. hillary clinton still hasn't made me. she thinks she's still president for something like that. and then you have that be a break in our system. you made it. you say it's not. it's and you made a statement. i think it's easily refuted. ok, we look at what the f.b.i. did to the truck, campaign, destroying institutions. what was the f.b.i. and the intelligence community doing, reveling in that election year? that's the kin

elections we're joined live now by jeffrey albert tucker editorial director of the american institute for economic research thank you very much for joining us on the program now we just got some new some some recent news just in the trump campaign has also filed a lawsuit to halt the vote count in georgia in addition to other states so there's already a list right now for contested states does this look like the republicans new strategy now would you say well i mean gas i mean they're going to contest this election this is going to going to go on for many months to miss really important for its base and my read of the situation on the ground is that probably for more of republicans think this is the entire voting apparatus is rigged and nonetheless the betting odds are very clearly in favor of biden you despite you know all the recounts that are going to come i don't think it's going to change the outlook and the other thing to remember is that last night was a devastation for the democrats it just it just was. there's no sense in which the republicans lost last time when the democrat

the editorial director of the american institute for economic research jeffrey out but police if biden does win half of americans won't consider him the president. my read of the situation on the ground is that. probably for more of republicans think this whole entire voting apparatus is rigged if biden ekes out this little brick this time in victory with a couple of states that swing swing states where there is some suspicious ballot biden comes becomes president with with almost you know with very little the gentleman say and certainly no serious consensus so there will be no mandate for biden and this will last for 4 years which is very interesting situation politically for for the united states especially since the democrats failed to turn up for that for the house the house they lost apparently 5 seats and the student senate is complete control the g.o.p. not to mention that the supreme court is ari a done deal so biden becomes a basically a lame duck for 4 years where. for the american public will consider him to be a fake president i don't think that a lot of the people that are

. >> mayo clinic is an american institution. it is at the heart of our country in many respects. it is the world's first and largest private multispecialty group practice. that is a big, formal term. it means it is specialists working together in a highly organized way, devoting a whole range of unique, diverse talents for the sole purpose of serving each individual patient. it is a model that the mayo family developed with the franciscan sisters that has expanded and grown to other medical centers and has welcomed patients from all over the world for more than 150 years. this is heritage hall, the museum of mayo clinic that was established with a gift from john and lillian matthews. they are loyal patients of mayo clinic and they had a unique vision. they said we want to add more voices to the choir and tell the great stories of mayo through contemporary museum exhibits, designs, films and products like that. today, we are going to explore the history of and more importantly the living legacy of mayo clinic. every patient has a history. the first thing you do when you see a doct

exploits spaghetti like nature of american institutions. turns security council created by truman and eisenhower, a planning and administrative body turns it into as andrew preston called little white house and a little shop he can make policy on his own. he's exploiting the weaknesses. one way to read the book, kissinger could not be political successful animal in other other society because the things he does are so sui generous to the american system, nature of interlocking checks and balances and the power that the white house has and the opportunity united states has to use that. exploiting the weaknesses as a source of his own strength. then there's a third paradox, which i think all of us on the panel have written about and tom brings this up well. kissinger is declinist. he's acutely aware from his writing, the longest thesis at harvard about this about how empires rise and fall. we're in the fall stage. yet he believes he can extend american power. tom makes this point time and again that kissinger's urge is to extend power not to

and catalyzing on with more traditional conservative ways of thinking and basically protect american institutions in the process and let's support and get off the libertarian message that says the government can't get involved. we do want to save plants in the country and help them but we will do it in a conservative way with tax credits and things like that but we will acknowledge government power can be used for good and take it away from the more traditional straightlaced conservatives. that's where i think things will probably head in the post trump era but if we are not yet in that era, there will be only one person that matters and that is donald trump. a. >> how can such anunconventionae is a sort of mindset in the way that he campaigned but once he gets into this enormous office i've been wrong about many things. i assumed he would adjust. i wrote not long ago you can't just put it back in the bottle. he's changed the republican party and he's changed the way people operate. it doesn't mean that every succeeding president will be on twitter 45 or 50 times a day but it's not going to go aw

in each of those states, at the ballot box, i think that would a disruption to a critical american institution. so, we are all seeing it unfold. i'm confident it will work its way out. host: do you think that the president should concede? guest: i think the president has every right to pursue whatever remedy is available under the law, but a concession? that is basically a nicety, it is not a legal proposition. i do think it would be much better if he did transition activities and never process he is going to go through simultaneously. there is no reason they cannot coexist. host: brian in oregon. caller: yes? host: go ahead. listen and talk through your phone. you've got to turn that television down. caller: all right, just a second. host: go ahead, please. i'm a republican and i am a little disheartened by president trump acting this way with joe biden and not allowing a transition. he is putting our country in danger. won the election. the people voted, devoted him in. i voted for trump, we lost. i think he needs to be responsible and allow this transition to proceed, because it just puts o

john dombrowski from the washington space center jeffrey tucker from the american institute for economic research and lost the sutton or at least my correct involved who is retired professor of liberal studies at new york university. and a very busy man because he's also author of google archipelago, the digital good luck and the simulation of freedom. or if you very welcome to the program, john, i want to start with you. now, a cynical person would say this is a way of forcing people's hands you want, conform to the rules set by us, all you don't get to live the life that you knew, even though for the majority of people, it's a under the age of $65.00. the survival rate for the virus is only it's above 99 percent. are you one of the 6? i am a very, i'm a big, big cynic about this. i find it very interesting. the c.c.p. is where the virus came from, but now they have a solution in terms of locking down their own citizens. i mean that my work in a communist country, but here in the west where we have freedom of movement, which is a real large tenet of it. i think that's our 1st thing we m

education recently conducted an investigation into a number of universities and it found many american institutions were not reporting foreign gifts that exceeded $250000.00 annually as it's mandated the department uncovered several of the nation's most prestigious universities have withheld disclosing billions of dollars in foreign funding martine's alex and how it brings us the story. they are an american treasure from sea to shining sea u.s. universities have the reputation of being some of the best in the world places where science and innovation flourish but according to the federal education department there is a problem the issue for an influence as an update to an extensive investigation that took place last year a 34 page report by the government agency lays out that some universities have not been reporting all of their foreign contracts and guests that surpass a total of $250000.00 as they were supposed to do the paper states evidence suggests institutional decision making is generally divorced from any sense of obligation to our taxpayers or concern for our american national interests s

kristie i an editorial director at the american institute for economic research, jeffrey tucker. jeffrey, let's start with you. it is after the elections and we're still in a deadlock, over this 2nd round of coronavirus relief to help all the unemployed, the millions of americans who are struggling with their businesses, a stimulus even still on the table. now, given that apparently these 2 vaccines have resulted in more than 90 percent africa see, you know, washington isn't complete chaos right now. the whole place is, is broken and shattered and nothing can get done. we've got a white house that has lost all interest and legislature legislation is still fighting the election battles. and the partisanship is absolutely hopeless and, and i don't think that people, washington, actually care that much about what's going on in this country. you've got, you've got hunger, you've got food banks with long lines. i mean, even in some of the breaches areas of this country, you've got food banks with people that can't keep up with all that the distribution . there's a depression and sadne

return to the days of america sacrificing its national leadership to multilateral institutions that in fact erode american sovereignty. these institutions with liberal -- we and intellectual can't sustain an empty dialogue with regimes that have no intention to respect the free and open order that we worked so diligently to build. president reagan's life offers us incredibly valuable lessons. it was in 1952, near the start of the cold war, ronald reagan the actor went to the middle of america, not far from kansas. he went to where churchill had given his iron curtain speech a few years earlier. from there he said, "america is an idea that has been deep in the thoughts of man ever since man started his long trail from the swamp and is nothing but the inherent love of freedom in each one of us." that idea, the inherent love of freedom, led millions in eastern europe to tear down the berlin wall 31 years ago yesterday. and the iron curtain in the months that followed fell too. we have seen this desire for peace across the world. we see it in the people of hong kong waving the american flag. we see the people

i think there is a big winner in this election and it is the american institutions.procedures, the rules. at the end of the day the institutions that are the bedrock of our democracies. and what we're learning is that they are the ones that will make sure that there is a winner at the end of there is a winner at the end of the day. and it is these institutions that we need to nurture. and we have had in recent yea rs nurture. and we have had in recent years a temptation by some to weaken institutions, and weakening institutions will wea ken and weakening institutions will weaken our democracies so the big winner is institutions, rules, checks, balances, procedures, and that is what will ensure our democracies remain vibrant. we an optimist and you say what you have learned is that america's institutions are strong. what many people have learned is that america is profoundly polarised and divided and, if i can call at this, the trumpism of donald trump will long survive its originator. that is the populist, nationalistic strain in american politics is alive and kickin

today and he talked about the rout in the dollar coming because he believes in the strength of american institutionsve seen in the last few years is what has happened to the erosion of institutional strength. look at the doj. >> unfortunately, i agree with you. this will sound like a partisan comment. it is not meant to be. i don't think america will look like america if president is elected for four more years. the guardrail cannot hold. there are some of strengths that people talk about. the constitution assumed that people will lie a little bit. that is why we have a system of checks and balances. three different coequal branches. the american system assumes that people will try to take too much power. it doesn't assume that every branch will fail. based on the last four years, i don't think that we can depend on the senate. i don't think we can depend on the judiciary. at that point, we have a president trump not worried about running for reelection and he was less constrained. this has nothing to do with policy differences. this has to do with my fear that the rule of law is eroded in the insti

and he has in mind probably giving a big check to the american enterprise institute which is the one notable conservative think tank at the time. this letter that was intercepte intercepted. and ed fuller among a couple other people is aware of this trip. he basically hijacks the trip and arranges to meet with joseph coors. it is that i have a better idea. we should have a very aggressive small kind of green beret dig tank in washington that does not just put out white papers that people read and then put on their shelf. but it's out there creating action. so he arranges to have a meeting with joseph coors to talk about this idea. but ed folders a very smart guy. he realizes this meeting will have more impact if it does not happen in some restaurant and hotel in downtown washington. but if it happens in the white house where richard nixon was still in office at the time. and lynn was a like-minded conservative from california was working in the white house. so they arrange for this meeting to be held in lynn's office and the old executive office building to impress joseph coors. they
