they approve of the other party. eisenhower and kennedy, each of them had 60% job approval ratings among people in the opposite party. and starting in the early 1990's, we started seeing things get more and more partisan. the opposition to bill clinton when he was elected in 1992, over the next eight years, you had a positive view of republicans toward his administration. it reached proportions we had never seen before. during the next debate with george w. bush, you saw the exactly same thing happened the other way around, where the level of animosity among republicans. it keeps building and building from that point on. so that now you have got the vast majority of voters that are just voting straight ticket voting, all republican, all democrat. now we are in a parliamentary system for the most part. i think it is remarkable that in 2016 every single u.s. senate race was won by a candidate of the same party that carried that race. every single one. then in november, it was all but one. 34 out of 35, with one excepti

but i think again his patriotism, that republican party, that's not the republican party of 2021. and i think in that people may be a little kinder to him as they look back at what he's done. that said, if you look at social media right now, they continue to bill up by him and i have no issue with that. but at the same time, i think if we step back go, we'll understand that this is a more complicated man and someone who was simply good or simply evil. and you touched upon the fact of veterans just a moment. it seems that his legacy will be one of a war monger, but also one what he supported veterans wholeheartedly in later life. never forgetting really that his influence in government directly affected their lives, shooting that with tinge with a bit of regret. i wonder and i think the challenge is that the donald rumsfeld, we see and have seen as the donald rumsfeld, he wanted us to see he created that narrative and until we can dig more deeply into his records and have those cannon conversations, we won't know whether he was remorseful, let's say in a way that a robert mcnamara

, the chinese communist party. well, we know what happened here. a massacre that snuffed out any hope of revolution. but inside china, these images, this history they've been erased will out of existence by the communist party. this week, china's communist party is marking. it's 100 anniversary with nationwide celebrations . festivities and fanfare all approved for public consumption by beijing. of the parties. origins, go back to 1921. a secret meeting of 53 people in a home in shanghai. in 1900. 49 following of civil war party leader. mel's a don't seize power in china and he oversaw decades of war, famine and repression and exerted a monopoly over both state and society. in the late 1970 s, china began opening up for business and decades of unprecedented economic growth followed today. china is the world's 2nd biggest economy and achievement, that president, she's been paying is touting among many others. but in china, what is fact? and what is fiction? today tourism supply this lake, but 100 years ago it was a

so let me explain to you a little bit about the character of the communist party the communist party is a party that believes in raw power. it will do anything to obtain power and to remain in power. it's the only justification so that's why the communist party has been deeply hard to dial the democratic values from that in 1949 because they see every democrat to embrace free and open elections and rule of law, open debates and ideas. all these democratic values and the challenge to the party to take power and stay in power. that's why the communist party has never been friendly. they will never change or embrace democracy. so we need to treat them as who they really are and not who they wish they should be. not naming for the policymakers or the audience that will come to read it but i keep all of you in mind. we need to be smart because when we look at a candidate and check on their policies because of the constitution republic people present us to make the rule of law and policy decision. i think it's time that we educate ourselves. then when it's time for the election, look past

no one talked about the true caricature of the communist party to the communist party as a party that leaves an raw power. it will do anything to obtain power and it will do anything to remain in power. power is the only justification. that's why communist party has been hostile to democratic values since its founding in 1949. because you see every democrat embraces free and open elections and rule of law and the opposition parties and open ideas. it's all the democratic values that challenged the parties deity to take power and stay in power. that's why the communist party has never changed or they will never change and they will never embrace democracy. we need to treat them as who they really are not who we wish them to be. so i wrote up look not meaning for policymakers and they are welcome to read it but when i broke this book i kept all of you in mind because i say we the people need to become educated. because politicians their incentive is how to be reelected and so we need to be smart. when we look at a candidate and we check out their policies you like the people to be prese

here in shanghai, the party found is convene before fleeing to the lake party cells from all over china, happy organizing, visits to the site. the exhibition has received a complete make over with a prominent role for president seeds in p. here to party history is a carefully engineer, narrative. to jazz is tori and at the party history institute, which is supervised by the center committee. there are materials we can not publish . this has to do with opposition. research or communication have to the party, the people that is our standpoint of lindy's. paging is pulling out all the stops to celebrate the centennial of the chinese communist party. but it's a party that remains the extremely tight control. my 2nd guess tonight grew up during chinese cultural revolution. today she lives in the us and runs china. change a website covering the stories that don't make it past the sensors shining a light on human rights abuses in china. ja chalet tell joins me now. it's good to have you on the program. trying to communist party is turning a 100 years old. it has ruined the country for over 70

and it's a role i'm at home to party members in a party runs pool correspondent brings you a past due before mid career officials are taught the news i'm british manager. welcome to did up the news. asia. glad you could join us. be prepared for bloody heads if you're bullied china. that's the message to the world . from chinese preston, she just being on a date that the communist party is marking 100 years of its existence. she speech was the center point of these of celebrations that culminated on the historic gentlemen square in central beijing through the program. today, we look at what his message of confident assertiveness means for the rest of the world. but 1st, this report the event to trumpet the achievements of the communist party, as it marked a 100 years of its founding. amid a ceremony of pomp and patriotism, the party have its row in leading the country to grove and strains. president shooting princess the era of china being slotted and bullied is gone forever and gives a warning to foreign powers. i say, john, anyone who dares trying to do so will have their heads bashe

with the party there to supervise. almost all private firms now have a party committee.ommunist itinerary, the recent struggles of this man tell you a lot about the troubles of doing business in china. when i spoke to jack ma a few years back, he was approaching the height of his power. the co—founder and boss of ali baba, the biggest retailer in the world. china's most famous businessperson, a card—carrying party member. but late last year, a crackdown came on high. part of the bank busting credit giant he'd founded was about to go public and the government stopped it and since then, ma has barely been seen in public. his company had become too big, too powerful, a systemic threat, the government said. in today's china, xijinping wants private business to thrive, but only if it will help the party thrive a little bit more. anniversaries are bound this week for the communist party as hong kong marks one year since beijing imposed its sweeping national security law on the city. critics say it is all about increasing control and stifling dissent and since its introduction,

in leather, which was one of the main parties. since 2011 and you know the court what has been established by 2015 as the position says. but the matter is that it's possible among other major political parties, but the certainly it's the main part of that responsible or not. basically because you torsion including averaging because ok, so we'll, we'll touch on the maturity of unity as democracy a little bit later on. but sarah, the prime minister, the, the now the x prime minister hisham the she, she, he seemed also now willing, is willing to give way and waits. why has he done this so easily? so willingly, i think it part. yeah, i think in part because of the, this idea of stability that we're talking about. i don't think he has much to gain from trying to fight this. i think, you know, between all the various measures that the president has laid out, including the curfew and quitting travel bands. and i think it's, you know, i'm sure the prime minister is not happier. former prime minister is not happy, but i do think it's in hi

how has the party changed the country over the past 100 years? well, you know, the pony wasn't in town until 949 and from 949, and that 978 to change the country a great deal, but it didn't enrich the country. china really only took off optim out dies. and since then, if you've got $1400000000.00 people economy growing almost every year, about 10 percent, that's not just going to transform china, that's really going to transform the world. and that's what we're seeing unfold in front of us right now. and we're also seeing china, of course, asserting itself more and more on the international stage against the backdrop that you have just mentioned. she's been paying, in fact, warning in his speech that foreign forces attempting to bully the nation will quote, get their heads bashed. what do you make of that tough talk? well, i guess, 1st of all, this is for, you know, a domestic audience, but domestic consumption. you know, all politics is local. china is no different in that respect, but i think, you know, there's also a message for foreign countr

but the democratic party is a big tent party. that's not true for republicans.y. j.d. vance, although he is a complete phony, he is voicing -- giving voice to what every republican is thinking right now, that i do have to suck this up. there's not enough republicans who have the courage to stand up. >> the state party chair in alaska, mark leibovich, is against the republican incumbent. the state party today is challenging the challenger. donald trump has taken over these state parties. the elected leadership has apparently no way to stop him. >> look, they are absolutely playing to that base. the question is are they going to lose a republican primary in their state? probably not. >> are you sure? >> no, i'm not. i'm not in oklahoma. but i also think you're right. these are very, very substantial voices in the party. i think, you know, what if you're lisa murkowski right now. you're up in two years. you have all this friction coming from the right, from trump himself who is going to probably campaign. i don't know how you do this. i think at some point this is

no, if i, if i was the m p for, for country i'm from now, i would be telling my party, whichever party i was in to be stopping implementing the protocol. i mean, it's ludicrous that we're opposing it in northern ireland, but we're implementing it by having people searching or even stopping. or you know, the ideas that you cannot bring something in from your own country and whether you believe in a united ireland or not. you don't like northern ireland, the reality is where part of the united kingdom. but you know, you, if people want that change, then i have to be a proper mechanism to do that through the vote in the bell agreement. and that's not happening. and the day to day difficult, you know, now we've got the europe in union changing it attitude to feeding animals to other animals and northern ireland because it stayed within the euros are going to have to comply with up. so we then have the situation of people in england saying we want to buy anything more from northern and if they're, if they're feeding their animals in their hands and in the, in a different way. and every day
