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 cit

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

i was elected in the tea party movement. i was sent with a mandate to change things and it took me a couple of years of calibration myself to learn how to buy best affect change. i can't do it all. i can't do it overnight happen i as a people person with a voice one, have the relationships and reputation of a policymaker but also the persuasiveness of politics to try to drive an outcome that i felt like was where my district wanted to go. and that is not easy because there's a lot of pressure from districts and there's a lot of third parties out there with a lot of money monetizing quite frankly a lot of these movements. these efforts really, these phrases that motivate people to ring the phones in the offices and there's a point in time i think in every member's career where they realize they are the voice of their districts and i think sometimes that doesn't mean they have to do, that they have to do a populist perspective but they have more information and more facts in front of them and they can listen to the district bu

whatever happened to the tea party?y emerged from high dissatisfaction or high taxes and increased debt and more. kevin looks back on the movement that ended up making a difference. >> ♪ ♪ . >> [cheering]. >> they were patriotic and principled and partisan and powerful. the tea party forged in frustration and fighting mad about sky high taxes and government spending run amuck. it's as if they were channelling both howard jarvis and howard beal. a tax activity and the latter of network motive fame which gave rise to a political movement that counted among's supports who's who of conservative lawmakers. they took on the gop party establishment spear heading opposition to government run healthcare and helped republicans take back the congress in 2010. they later orchestrated a government shutdown and forced the ouster of the house speaker john. much has changed. the caucus is gone and so too are the republicans undone by budget deals and congress's decision to suspend the debt ceiling. >> fiscal conservatives should be in

all that it took to create the tea party to get it going, was a spark, and in this case that spark happened 12 years ago today when a cnbc correspondent on the air to take a stand against obama's radical agenda. >> this is america. how many of you people want to pay for your neighbor's mortgage that has an extra bathroom and can't pay their bills? raise their hand. >> president obama, are you listening? >> laura: president biden, are you listening? and that's the angle. >> joining me now, mollybist hemingway, ari fleisher, both fox news contributors and host of fox nation. molly, a year, a lot has changed. we're weaker, as far as the economy. china is more on the rise than it was before. and a lot of people are demoralized, but do you sense that things are changing, that people's eyes are slowly being opened? >> what's interesting is when you look at the 2020 campaign,

we had tea party movement. that rose up, the conservative base, trying to assert itself. onald trump. the republican party rejects its own base. the democrat party feeds its base, redistributes wealth and creates laws and promote and protect it's base, democrat party is about one them, in my view, democrat party, power, that is why that i want to change our election laws and cell -- free speech, and joe biden signing executive orders as fast as we it, that is why they stand with teachers union against the children, against hard working union members, but with illegal aliens, they will do whatever they have do for power. and republicans are suing for peace. and compromise. and they turn on the individuals who have the guts to speak out. and try to confront this. you are 81 -- you are one of those individuals, thank you very much charlie, we look forward to watching you man years god bless you. >> god bless you thank you. mark: see you next time on "life, liberty and levin." ♪ ♪ ♪ steve: happy valentine's day. welcome to next revolution, i am steve hilltop, home of popular p

this formation of another modern-day tea party movement, right?e awe this when the republicans didn't do what the people wanted. these were small businesses, moms and dads that were upset with government just like a lot of these folks that are here that are upset with how the pandemic has played out and government shutting down. they want a new tea party movement, and they're going to target republicans. what do you think? sean: right -- [audio difficulty] the tea party's going to be activated by people on the ground. one of the things i picked up at cpac was how sick people are are of being canceled. and i think the message and undertone from this event is if you're canceled, republicans and conservatives, they actually have to stand up and stand together. so if one of your conservative brothers or sisters is canceled, don't walk away. actually stand up and defend them. and if you do stand together as a movement against this liberal woke mob, what you'll recognize is that you are actually in the majority, and the woke mob is in the minority. and

now once upon a time the tea party shook up u.s. national politics next we talked to the group's co-founder about post trump america and whether he thinks the former president could yet hold sway once more in the oval office worlds apart as all that and more in moment. l. look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the 1st law show your identification for should be very careful about official intelligence at that point obesity is too great trust every one of them shia. would like to take on various chozen with artificial intelligence will summon the demons. must protect its own existence and existence. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy for and let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. all. are. welcome to all is a part of the

the tea party patriots, groups that funded the tea party, a lot of billionaires that wanted a vanear republican. >> the ties are very deep. there is a lot of money that poured into it before the insurrection. and the republican party, and establishment parts of the party, never really believed that things would go off the rails the way it did on january 6th and it's a theme we saw again and again with trump's presidency where people were looking at the long game and trying to ignore the unsavory attempts from him. people believed they would get things they wanted, power, the et cetera, without a disaster, and trump has proven with the insurrection we saw january 6th with his post presidency behavior that he controls not only the money but essentially the party itself. >> and you know, mr. rasmussen, thank you, and welcome to the show as well. when you have insurgency, say we're not talking about the united states. we start to think about the ties insurgents have to political forces, governmental forces. is insurgency. it's getting funding from someone, political backing from somewher

our team last year, some of them left earlier in 2018 and some left even before that during the tea party wave and sarah palin. there are a lot of republican voters that have already moved on to the democratic party, so the republicans do not see them as a part of their coalition anymore. there is still room for more and if you look at the results from this past election in 2020, there were very liberal republican voters against trump. and if you keep feeding those people, eventually, they will leave, too. there is a risk of losing more people if the party doubles down on trumpism. i know some in north carolina that voted for joe biden, there were decisive voters in a few states, but it is not nearly a third of the party like the maga basis. dan: our viewers and listeners who have been listening to npr this past week or who have read a profile of you in "the new yorker" we'll know how active you were an encouraging the party switching or the ballot switching that tim alluded to. republicans voting for biden. why did you do that? sarah: oh, boy, no one had asked to that in a while. dan: [l

the tea party caucus.e republican world has just been to fade back and let the bad guys take over? >> the republicans have become that "star trek" mirror universe where you have to kill the next leader to take over. they don't seem to have a real process of finding leaders anymore. it's just an evil version of mccarthy that replaced the guy. let's be clear, all these people are conservatives. all of these people could care less about police reform, all these people could care less about the environment. this is literally a trump issue. so mccarthy who at one point was just a regular republican has been replaced by the evil mustache mccarthy is just doing what trump wants them to do and go along with marjorie taylor greene. here's the problem, though, it's a problem within the republican party. they try to acquiesce the people who don't want to govern. marjorie taylor greene doesn't want to govern. kevin mccarthy doesn't want to govern. they just want to be the lips. flight they're doing more of the latter

. >> neil: you have concerns dating back to the tea party dates.u talking about deficits. so if your interim ceo role, that's how you see parler, as a more conservative-minded site? >> no. i think this is -- i see parler as a free speech site. if you think back to my tea party days or days of convention of states, what i'm about is getting government out of speech, giving people freedom, giving rights back to the individual. what parler is about is free speech, it's about privacy and data sovereignty and civil discourse. this is not intended to be a conservative platform but a platform where conservatives are welcome. >> neil: mark, interim ceo, is that the case? you plan to stay a little while or think you would be the permanent one? >> i don't think so. my job was to get in here, help clean things up, help parler get back online. it was the staff that got parler back online. extraordinary staff. my goal is to help the company get back online, lead the search for a new ceo and then i'll go back to minding my own business. well, maybe not. >> neil:

obviously the tea party had part of this and i think the increa established republican class si tried to kind of feed this increasing nationalist fervor growing within the party from the -- say it is a quarter, 25%h in 1992, by the time bush is there maybe it is a third of the party. and then bush makes i this masse error with the iraq war, which radicalizes people from within the party and people who are an independents, and then this your groupe grows. they look at the establishment of the republicans and sayng no these guys aren't representing me. what sort of passionate conservatism doesn't bind me and why are my friends and cousins dieing in iraq when i don't care about whether there is democracy in iraq. so i think the cannonite grew because of the stakes within the republican establishment and partially because this is a global trend.e there are trumps in half of the countries of the world right now running national conservative parties. and the established republican class did a terrible job of managing it and they fed the beast, they made it worse. they made the stakes that e

that is where you saw the tea party beginning to form. >> i believe obama is running the country intohey will never get out of. >> i thought the tea party was one of the most refreshing movements that i have ever seen in the country and it has been maligned and misrepresented in a lot of ways and i did go to a lot of the rallies. people from all walks of life. many never been involved in politics. >> some of that opposition is coming from former alaska governor sarah palin and made a comment on the facebook page and called the plan of the president down right evil. >> if the other side couldn't win on the facts they would just event attacks. death squads were the great example. no death squads in the bill. the president would try as best he could to explain those things were not true but it still became a part of the debate. >> what you can't do or you can but shouldn't is start saying things like we want to set up death panels to pull the plug on grandma. i mean come on. >> the affordable care became the focus of anger and dissatisfaction at government. the tea party really became th

i never had anything to do with the tea party after i lit the match. a day. you know, americans like to follow rules and if they don't like rules, you really need to follow the rules to change the rules. and no matter what you think of the tea party movement, as you think back it was very peaceful, very orderly, and what they did actually had a plan and oresultd in progress from a political standpoint, which was their goal they had a turnover in the house, the biggest at the time, in 2010, in 64 years, going back to 1946, giving them the biggest majority in 64 years so there are ways to change things you don't like in america, and i think sometimes we lose sight of that. we don't want to cancel people we want to raise people. anyway, enough said. let's get back on getting real on interest rates. now, let's show some charts because right now in real time things are happening so let's look at an intraday of tens and 30s they are hot they are both trading as you see on this week to date chart above the intraday high levels whether 133 in 10s or 211 to 213

we saw from the ceiling at the capitol back to the tea party movement the white. america. a little and small. as it is diminished the need to resume the old power structure in america becomes more. and sadly enough people so joe dumars who moved to a social change are sas native. and inhumane. quickly we have the spot a minute left i want to ask you parry to do you think that this kind of rise in the pooh poohing of conspiracy theorists and that kind of attack on anybody and using about a label is a negative doesn't that ultimately hurt in the long run when we're looking for truth about our history and about moving forward that there are true actual conspiracies like we saw with dr king like we saw with malcolm x. j.f.k. but then get you know hurt by everyone who immediately lays something a conspiracy theory and says you're cooked to believe that kind of thing. sadly and . that is that it is harmful that it's intense so it is imperative that leaders of those who is stepping up and standing up like rhonda hamilton jet lindsay in buffalo 'd here in the district of columbia

lead a very noticeable split and what's what's been you know since the creation of this nation a tea party state but you're seeing a noticeable split and if you're looking at you know say average of $74000000.00 voters if you're looking at even just $70000000.00 of those voters who just might be the lesser of 2 evils that $70000000.00 this maggot's wrong looking at rally members at a turnout even a turnout in videos that some puts out as opposed to the white house videos you know you're looking at a very large populist movement so i think well but this means for the future the republicans mcconnell haley others that have come out strongly against trump because essentially they're coming out against trump's base they're coming out against the voters because it wasn't all the people that showed up on january 6th that that you know rioted at the white house many of these people were absolutely peaceful and so when you talk about this over and over and over people are going to start to get angry maybe people that wanted to be there are now feeling personally attacked like i wasn't going to rio

this guy in the tea party patriots mark meckler who is now running running parlor bud just to say that they're back up and running is probably a pretty big understatement if they're really not working it out right now meckler it to your point meckler actually said they wouldn't be reliant on big tech so how does that change now. yes so what he's saying is they're not reliant on big tech but they have an answer or solve the real problem right and the real problem is that they are not they're still dependent on companies to provide for instance their their server issues so i the company that's essentially doing this for them and i want to get their name here is called sky silk it's a company that's providing servers for them instead of amazon now well sky says hey yeah we're in agreement with the idea that people should have a chance to speak and we believe in free speech great the problem is though it's parlor still dependent that sky still doesn't change their mind at some point in sky's so besides all of a sudden you know what we changed our mind we got some pressure put on us from ot

republican party that is controlled the party for the last 40 years i think what you have seen with the tea party movement 'd and what you've seen with trumps election in 2016 is you've seen the conservative side the small business patriotic god very. pro free market side of the party rising up and taking over the party and that's why you've seen. conservatives win primaries all across the country in races for the u.s. senate whether it was ted cruz or mike lee or rand paul they were they want primaries in republican primaries as a conservative free market thinker and i think that that is what is happening in the republican party is we're throwing out those corporatist as ed said and the corporatists using their gnashing of teeth right now on the floor of the senate mitch mcconnell but the corporatism best by definition of the money ok you've always started our reporting we were talking about the the cost of entry to get into a primary ok you have to have a whole lot of money and well you know if i'm not i'm not absolutely convinced that the average trump supporter is thinking about free markets
