the tea party became the biggest story. the month, parts of the press were saying that six regiments were already on their way to massachusetts. this was false. it took several more weeks before the cabinet decided to send those. usually ahead of the politicians, fleet street started to whip up war fever. they said the tea party had been a complete repudiation. the press quickly divided between support for america and others who wanted revenge. they post an obvious question. with the prime minister survive a crisis for which he appeared responsible? after four years in the post, he had served a longer-term than anyone since the seven-year war. this became a constant thing. if some vigorous measures were not immediately resolved upon, the men in power would be held in power. journalists were so well informed that they must've been receiving tipoffs from men in high places. the atmosphere was suddenly electric. with parliament standing by. floundered. caught off guard, lord dartmouth toitated until he occurred , the skippersc

there never would be a tea party. the reason there was a tea party is it was sent en masse and arrived in boston in three ships at the end of november, 1773 and what was worse, with thomas hutchinson's fingerprints all over it and the reason the tea party occurred because it so clearly appeared in the eyes of the radicals of boston to be aimed directly at them but might have been that way and might have been if the wind had been different the tea might have gone to new york instead of boston but it did go to boston. so accidental elements in all this story about the tea party. not really accidental because it across from the same fundamental problem that the british had got an empire, a empire based on these speculative flows of commodities they hadn't really planned and aren't really organized and which was run in kind of a hand to mouth sort of way. it was run in a spontaneous way in response to events as they actually occurred. so eventually would lead to the night when it blew up in their faces. one final point be

when the base is where the tea party is at. >> that's true. the idea to get democrats to go for 25 billion. >> they're not going to do that. maybe they may trade protection for the dreamers for $1.5 billion. >> maybe 1 pn.6. >> jonathan and evan, thank you so much. >>> futures is pointing down after a wild week, we'll check on that when the markets open. we'll see what's driving the number, stay with us. i've always been amazed by what's next. and still going for my best, even though i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib not caused by a heart valve problem. so if there's a better treatment than warfarin... i want that too. eliquis. eliquis is proven to reduce stroke risk better than warfarin. plus has significantly less major bleeding than warfarin. eliquis is fda-approved and has both. what's next? reeling in a nice one. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial

party now. >> we don't have our own tea party now, and you'll see that. you'll see that. there's nobody in our caucus now, and i don't think there's going to be any significant number tomorrow -- january being tomorrow -- where you're going to have the people say either my way or no way. that's what -- and it wasn't called the tea party, the freedom caucus. >> yeah. >> the reason boehner couldn't get things done is because he couldn't get to 218. the reason he couldn't get to 218, he had 30 or 40 of his party that would not compromise not with us, wouldn't compromise with boehner. we don't have anybody like that, in my view. right now. we'll see if we have anybody like that. but when you look at the big issues, we really have consensus whether you're talking about affordable care act, whether you're talking about infrastructure, and we want the get that done. we'll argue about paying for it. trade may be a more divisive issue. not divisive, but disagreement within our party. but i think you're going to see a constructive, united democratic party. there'll

"time" magazine declared the republican party all but extinct. and look at where we are now. the voters have not gotten what they asked for. >> the mistake was to think that the country speaks as one. that we're all one thing. what we really are is a mass of reactions. we're always reacting to the last thing that happened. so if the country goes left, you can be damn sure it's going to go right. if the country is looking good for rich people one day, the poor people will hate that and get angry. if we think we're past race, racism will come right back. our pendulum swings. in the long run, we make progress, but it can be pretty ugly to watch. >> what a week. the state of hawaii released my official long form birth certificate. no one is happier to put this birth certificate to rest than the donald. obviously we all know about your credentials and breadth of

first of all, you were talking about the tea party and the purist test, well, what happens with the tea party that it's now embraced trumpism, it's embraced the trillion dollar a year deficits, it will embrace a big infrastructure package. >> they were never purists, though. >> that's right. >> again, they didn't like obamacare because of its name, but they would not go after reforming to save medicare. >> yeah. >> which is our biggest debt driver along with medicaid and social security. >> so where do these ideas go? i don't know. the republican party is becoming a cult of personality, identity party, and it's very difficult to know where you go with all of that because, i mean, think what 2019 is going to look like. think about next year. when the mueller investigation comes out and the -- as you know, with the republican party's number one agenda will be to protect donald trump. that will not be about fiscal responsibility, it will not be about the rule of law, it will not be about constitutionalism, it will be about protecting donald trump. so the republican party will become the pr

if you start in 2009 when tea party people came in, they are the party of no. and all through obama's administration, it was no, no, no. anything he got through was on his own. it wasn't with any help. rom the senate or the house. now they have had the senate and the house for two years under this administration. but yet with all the rhetoric that's going around, everything's turned back on o the democrats once again. they are saying that nancy pelosi needs to get over there. she's still not the head -- they are not the majority yet. they aren't until thursday. the person that needed to get over there was paul ryan. he could have taken care of this right away, but he walked away because he's got his illions or billions, whatever. and they did have something in agreement. and at the last minute it was tea party people who got into trump's ear and said, no. you can't do this. he was going to agree on something that was bipartisan between the house, the senate, and trump. within a day or two of that agreement he changed his mind. now, this is not on the democrats.

party and the rallies that tea partiers were having in washington d.c. the glenn beck thing. we could have a room tea party rally in we should go down and have ridiculous lines and basically make fun of these people. they got even called their involved -- they got a bunch of aliens involved in 200,000 people came down to the mall for this thing that was birthed from just a joke really. that stood out to me is that was a prime example of this thing that you hit over and over again throughout the book, recurring tension between read it in the eyesight -- outside world and neither usually really been quite sure what to make of the other. i'd like to start by asking you, what is thing you would say that each has fundamentally understood about the other, the outside world in some six and similarly, what is one of the most meaningful ways in which each has fundamentally changed the other? >> starting out with really small question they are peered >> you know, watch us get into it. >> absolutely appeared its so funny to me as i've been a reporter for more than

and then of course the boston tea party comes up. here are a bunch of people storming onto the docks destroying thousands of pounds of tea owned by the east india company. clearly an illegal act but lots of people in the colony who believe in the law are offended by this. yes, usually if you go to destroy somebody else's property one of two things is going to happen. the person whose property you destroyed is going to see you in court and make you pay for it or, the government is going to grab you and put you in jail for the crime. but the government doesn't do that in the case of the tea party. for one thing it would be awfully hard to figure out who these people were who did this. but what the government does instead is say we are going to punish the whole city of boston until the bostonians agreed to reimburse the east india company for all that tea. so they shut the port of boston down no ships can come out no ships can go out. you are going to starve the city out you're going to cost the merchants and the dockworkers and the sai

the board is seen as a key threat from the far right alternative for germany a if tea party he made that very clear in his speech he also said that of course he would be able to work closely with machall one does wonder if you believe that that is really a given after him leaving politics over what essentially was a leadership contest which he lost against americal so he came back after a decade very strong showing here from him what the big question now is how many of those fifteen percent will now support and are going to come combo how many will support mats many say spawns line is closer to finish math but we don't know kid got thirty nine and given spawn got fifteen you you seem to indicate that these kind of percentages were roughly although the line was rated what happens now if you can just talk us through the procedure as to what happens before we go into the second round well basically there will now be a runoff between the two there was the opportunity to ask questions of all candidates we see those you can probably still see those.

over the course of his short life germany's foreign rights if tea party has ever had it so good i guess this week here in the process deputy leader gail was basking. kind of party is the extreme going to be. in sixty minutes t.w. . continent is reinventing itself. as africa's tech scene discovers it's true potential. inventors entrepreneurs and high tech professionals talk about their visions successes and day to day business to present. its. history in everyone. seems a mathematician. who should eyes. digital africa starts december twelfth on t.w. . a beautiful city on the top of the river in the northern german state. and i chose this this summation.

germany is no exception here the far right populist if tea party argues that humans aren't changing the climate as we speak says feelings are the most important thing is education and people's common sense despite relatively constant c o two levels in the past ten years there have been huge variations in climate wasn't the most welcome there's no cause and effect between c o two and temperatures. and. the f.t. wants to reverse germany's ambitious renewable energy sources act cancel the country's planned phase out of coal power and take it out of the twenty fifteen paris agreement on climate. that makes the co-leader of germany's green party see red you have to know i know a.s.d. is not only a far right and sometimes extremist party that isn't always committed to our constitution but it also doesn't stand for freedom of research it doesn't acknowledge that on the environment and in particular climate change we have evidence accepted by all scientists the world over instead the question science itself. was an even shaft in faggots who stared at. the green seed germany's mainstream parties

in fact, anyone standing to the left. >> whether you're a tea party guy or occupy wall street guy, i think there's opportunities to find humor. there's a lot of comedians on the right side of the aisle that do a great job of it, as well. >> you think our founding fathers would have put up with any of this [ bleep ]? they were blowing people's heads off because they put a tax on their breakfast beverage. >> you can be on the right and just be talking and not have to identify yourself as the right. what is the blue collar comedy tour other than right wing comedy tour? >> we heating up the earth. oh, shut up. well, you seen what happened in washington, d.c., 27 inches of snow. explain that. all right, february. how's that? >> entertainers tend to be left wing in their politics. and the reason for that is, it's a happier message. they are audience pleasers, even those who make a point of upsetting the audience. >> as a right wing hate monger, it's fantastic to be at a big hollywood shin dig with all these glittering celebrities that isn't a fund-raiser for obama. >> historically, what we

reporter: he's a former south carolina congressman who came to washington in the tea party wave of 2010. he declared if usual a lobbyist who never gave us money i didn't talk to you. if you are a lobbyist who gave us money i might talk to you. he insisted the gop leaders defund obamacare in order to fund the government. mulvaney opposed a 2013 budget compromise authored by paul ryan. he also opposed other government funding efforts. mulvaney led the shutdown caucus. because some sources on capitol hill say they believe the chances of a shutdown have increased because mulvaney will be the acting chief of staff whispering in trump's ear. how the shutdown goes could be for mulvaney. trish: adam johnson, i am starting with you. you are salmony guy. mulvaney is a money guy. what are the challenges regarding a shutdown and spending for the wall. >> people start to dot their their is and cross their ts, follow the money. he knows where we can get the compromise and where we can get the votes. trish: do you think a shutdown is happening? >> i do. trish: does this further that. >> he's a fiscal

charles: the tea party always clean up after themselves. >> exactly. charles: douglas, it is not just france, but a european problem. something coming to a head. couple it with how old the economies are. significant parts of populations 65 years old. years and years of socialistic tendencies. how can you do this. how can they ever possibly find themselves in the position where they actually able to grow these economies? >> i'll tell you, charles, very interesting moment. i'm old enough to remember the fall of the soviet union. that was a competition of models, capitalism, versus the soviet republics. capitalism won. it showed the route to prosperity was to rely on private markets and entrepreneurial ambitions of the population. we can look at europe, some people in that state claim, that is what they want. hey, is that the model for what we want our future to be? they can look to the u.s., hopefully, hopefully we will provide them with an example of reining in entitlement state costs too much. keeping taxes and regulatory burden low. that is the opport

party although you of course you can't condense policies down to that but he says there's a need for a policy reform to be much tougher talking to have much tighter messages much shorter messages and then get across and win back those voters back to the center and it could have come also wants to win back those voters and it's interesting that sound bite there that she stressed the see in the c.d.u. she almost echoed actually the speech the last speech of posse these are also stressed that see that stands for christian values that she's been so unwilling to give any ground over throughout the past years since what became known as the migration crisis in twenty fifteen and there she was quite clear at the same time there she was interior minister she was responsible for security issues as well but also migration and then she acted rather tough she is very tough talking also when it comes to sending migrants back who have no right in the reagle right to stay in germany and here. we saw him in that series of conferences question although he does say he didn't but he did the right to asy

bush the father of the gingrich and the tea party moveme movements? unintentionally, right? >> you know, bush treated words like little buzzing flies, and when he made a campaign promise like that, that didn't stop him from thinking he could throw that out and govern differently. >> he wasn't looking to throw it out, but he knew the consequence. >> yeah. >> i'm going to positive the conversation here. up ahead, i want to talk about another big story in the news today, the growing stock shock over china. how president trump is trying to clean up his self-made trade crisis. we'll be right back. ♪ ♪ ♪ eastbound and down. ♪ loaded up and truckin'. ♪ are we gonna do what they say can't be done? ♪ ♪ we've got a long way to go ♪ and a short time to get there. ♪ ♪ i'm eastbound, just watch ole bandit run. ♪ whatever party you've got goin' in the back, we've got the business up front. ♪ i saw my leg did not look right. i landed. i was just finishing a ride. i felt this awful pain in my chest. i had a pe blood clot in my lung. i was scared. i had a dvt blood cl

republicans won the popular vote by a big, big margin, tea party revolt. and lots more votes equals lots more seats. that's how things used to go. and now take a look at this year's congressional election results. democrats this year won control of the house. more people voted for democratic candidates than republican candidates in congress by a margin of 8.5 points. previously unheard of. the largest margin of victory one party has ever seen over the other in any midterm election. a bigger margin than either of those two most recent republican revolutions that were so breathlessly talked about afterwards. but this huge margin that democrats won this year, look, it actually got them fewer seats. fewer seats than republicans won with less of the popular vote. democrats did win 40 seats this year, still impressive. still a big victory. but in order to get those 40 seats, democrats had to absolutely crush republicans in terms of the vote. when you look at numbers, it's striking to see how much better democrats had to do than republicans in order to have power

they all got to dodge and did it the correct join the tea party play is organized by enthusiastic locals it's become a tradition since one nine hundred seventy three they volunteer they're not paid to do this. greater has also opened a unique nativities museum featuring exhibits from italy and other countries. this great city scene for example comes from it's one a in africa. event is the very least these are all wonderful but i like the alaskan exhibit best. presented of the birth of jesus christ represents the family. we can all relate to this aspect of the christian faith. who gets one of its least most important religious traditions. many market stalls and retro also of a small activity seems. some pretty unconventional options are available kenya this is shaped like a swan and is made from a pumpkin it was hollowed out and worked on for two years and it contains figurines made from cloth that you got over a part of what i thought that youth soccer. for the locals the night. city scene is an important aspect of christmas. but the highlight each christmas remains the actual play of co

mick mulvaney rode the tea party wave to congress back in 2010 if you will, and then, he, of course, was a hard-line conservative in the ultra conservative freedom caucus. he clashed many times with the republican establishment including people like paul ryan and speaker john boehner. so to watch him now inherit what has become the new normal of republican circles and president trump's republican party has been quite remarkable. he's very closely aligned with vice president mike pence. he's also closely aligned with peter navarro. when it comes to that last pound that i just made, that's going to weigh in terms of how the president is negotiating not just with congress as julia correctly pointed out but also unter nationally on international trade deals with china, canada, kmoeks, europe. now awith all of that, it's muc more aligned, and that's going to be a fascinating dynamic to watch. the last think i'd note, he also clashes with others. most noticeably was elizabeth warren. he showed up with doughnuts. he really gutted it for lack of a better word. that drew him a lot of praise f

party -- a tea party organization, we came up with a comprehensive immigration -- i don't like the phrase but i'm going to use it, comprehensive immigration plan to address many of the questions and concerns. one, i think some folk called it -- labelled it an america first immigration reform plan. that focused on the needs of the american people and of course the needs of those that are here in the country legally. it is respectful to those who are trying to come into the country the right way. and let me say this, and baccari, you are spot on on applauding cnn and chris cuomo for going down there and showing the situation on the ground. that is very important work that needs to be done. of course other networks are doing that too. but hats on to cnn for that. and let me say further, i applaud the mexican government for the things that they are trying to do and including the mayor of tijuana who is very concerned about some elements that he has said are criminal elements, not those people that chris saw, that is heart wrenching, okay. they are fellow human beings and frankly they are fell

by the time after the boston tea party, he was treated appallingly badly by the british government and gradually he could see the really was no prospect of using the bridge. he disappeared back to america in the early part of 70 city five just as war was about to break out. >> you write that franklin at last found his calling for his vocation in science. how and why did this happen? he was a printer, and i appreciate that there was a connection between science and craft like this, but how did he become the scientific genius of america? and would you argue that this is how we should best remember him? that is, as a scientist rather than as a diplomat or political leader? this is really what makes him important to the ages? >> personally i think science is most important thing. not everyone would agree with that. my feed is made up of the cheapest could have been performed of the people but there was something special about his turn to science. he had been reading scientific books for a long time. he immersed himself in the scientific textbooks available from your which a been coming ove

it was after the tea party way. of first on that wave principles, taxed enough already, the debt was already a major problem. i ran on fiscal issues. the debt, economic growth, etc.. i had a sense the people were hungry for that message and i was. the economy was not thriving. the debt kept piling up. had a huge win. >> when did you know you were going to win? rep. brat: we had a good feel. we were up in every county a few months prior. i told the press. the press said, cute story. i don't usually budge. people who know me know that. i try to always tell the truth. i said, i am serious. they said, ok. they learned. they never do seem to learn. it is a weird cycle. >> what were eric cantor's mistakes? what should have been done that he did not do? rep. brat: i never personalized it. when you make promises, you have got to keep them. i am very proud of that. we also promised we were going to reveal obamacare -- repeal obama care. that is a big issue. our democratic opponents, the press was so biased in their coverage

that was also the rise of the tea party. so what you have had for at least a decade, but maybe farther back, is systematic attacks in state courts. hadlorida we have, and have instant 1970's, we are a merit retention state. it is known as the missouri plan because it was seen as a less political way to ensure quality less political influence on how state court justices or judges were elected. we were very proud of that system. nonpartisanrly judicial nominating commission, and they would presumably send up the most qualified judges or attorneys that applied. i had been through three merit and i knowlections, have written that retention has become so political, because you are on the ballot, but it is yes or no, you don't have anyone running against you. thosegone through the of -- through three of those and was up in 2016 with two of my colleagues. you had to be appointed by either a democrat or republican, we had been appointed by the governor,ratic chilels, --ton andrnor lawton chiles, we had all been involved in versus go

he is a hardline conservative, a tea party member who was one of the founders of the house freedom caucus. he is also a former congressman from south carolina and is currently serving as the budget chief or donald trump. a very influential man, particularly at the moment, when the president is facing a possible shutdown of the federal government if agreement can't be reached by the end of next week. he is the third person to serve under donald trump. normally, a very sought—after position but one which seemed to struggle to attract interested parties this time around. we've noticed an donald trump has named him acting white house chief of staff. why is this a temporary appointment? it's a good question. the white house is saying there was no time limit to this appointment so it's possible that mick mulvaney could serve as chief of staff for quite some time. what we do know with president trump, despite saying that he had a slew of good candidates to these highly prestigious position found himself increasingly going from one person to the next. nick ayres, mike pence's chief of staff tur

they are in for a whole new dynamic that they have not experienced before, not unlike the tea party movement that came in in 2010 that flipped the game board on the republican leadership. >> your interaction with the president one-on-one, what is it like? >> i have not been in one-on-one settings, i've been in smaller settings. it was around tax reform. i chaired the tax policy subcommittee. when we were moving through and discussing tax policy, i was in a number of settings. i thought to myself i wish the country could see this side of the president. he was intellectually curious, deferential, in some ways. not the same type of figure that you see in larger public presentations. i also found the white house in that setting, in terms of tax policy, was very clear and fairly straightforward to work with. there was not a change in goalpost, not a change in dynamic, there was a level of clarity. was here's what we" trying to do, let's get the corporate rate to x, let's get the money repatriated, brought back from overseas, and drive middle income tax relief." with which wease were interacting a

it was after the tea party wave. i came after that. taxed enough already. the debt was a major problem. i ran on fiscal issues. the debt, economic growth, etc. i had a sense the people were hungry for that message and i was. i was teaching kids and the academy was not thriving and the debt cap filing up. i threw my hat in the ring and had a huge win. steve: when did you know you were going to win? rep. brat: we had a good feel. we were up in every county. i told the press. and they said, cute story. i don't usually fudge. people who know me know that. i try to always tell the truth. i said, i am serious. they said, ok. they learned. they never do seem to learn. it is a weird cycle. it was a weird day. steve: in looking back what were , eric cantor's mistakes? what should have been done that he did not do? rep. brat: i never personalized it. when you make promises, you have got to keep them. even now, we did great tax cuts and the economy is booming. we also promised we want to repeal obama care. that is a big issue. our democratic opponents, the press was s

. >> so there are people out there from the tea party movement or the reagan revolution constitutional conservatives and i talk to them every day on the radio show, they say what can we do about this? initially i was strongly opposed to article five but i studied it and the history behind it and george mason proposed it two days before the constitutional convention madison supported it and then there was a nullification of her taking place. and this is a movement that's in the constitution which mason said would be oppressive through the state legislatures to control the government so basically that process is the state legislatures get together theyg. sent delegates withp their ideas and they go to the same ratification process which is very difficult 38 states have to ratify. i've concluded the supreme court is constantly rewriting the constitution presidents are rewriting the constitutionn or ignoring it what if we put it back in a box? if there is a way to do that. >> i worry about that because if you have a constitutional convention. >> a convention estates, who were the people th

have you all heard of the boston tea party? boycott activity has a really storied history in the united states. in the kind of seminole boycott case in the united states is black community in claiborne county, mississippi n the '60s, issued a set of demands to white merchants, you know, for integration, for desegregation. and the white merchants said, you know -- ignored it. didn't satisfy those demand. so they said we are going to boycott you all and we are going to encourage other folks to boycott you all. and then some of the white merchants got together and sued the naacp who was leading the boycott effort, and other key leaders of that boycott and they lost. they were ordered -- to begin with, lower courts in mississippi ordered the naacp and the black leaders of the boycott to pay for the lost business for these -- you know, the white merchants that were operating segregated spaces and doing all sorts of terrible things. and the supreme court, in the '60s, a really long time ago, in the '60s, said that absolutely not. abs

you had republicans fired up, tea party energy ready to turn out. democrats, not in as big numbers so republicans were able to benefit. this was an election where republicans got their voters out. that wasn't the problem. what republicans failed to do was win the swing voters and failed to grapple with the size of the potential coalition democrats could put together that if they turned out like it was a presidential year in a midterm year, could cause significant losses in the house. if you look at these races in the house, you had the suburbs in red states behaving like the suburbs in blue states. i don't think red and blue states is a helpful way to think about this midterm because the suburbs around dallas, houston, behaved a lot like the suburbs around chicago and l.a. so i think that is one of the things republicans have to grapple with. it's not that their own base was depressed and they need to fire them up. they have done that. that's just not enough. >> by the way, did democrats rent those suburban voters or do they own them now? >> i don't

>> nancy -- she has her own tea party now. [laughter] >> it'll be interesting to see how she manages the eager beavers that come in. >> what advice would you give her having doing that yourself? >> we don't have a freedom caucus but it was a heck of the challenge for speaker in the house. my guess is her preference is going to be to try to see what she can do on a bipartisan basis at the same time pass things that are part of their agenda, knowing full well that i'm not going to take them up. so i think it'll be a mix of things that she thinks we can reach agreement on plus things that are sort of their agenda, for example, the -- what i anticipate to be house bill 1 i think is probably going to be a blatantly unconstitutional effort to have the government basically micro manage the way we handle elections to give you an example. that's not going to go anywhere. that's not going to go anywhere in the senate. on the other hand, everybody talks about infrastructure, we know the country is desperately in need of infrastructure im

you don't ask your colleagues to call your tea party groups in 2011 who are mad at you because you continue to vote for continuing resolutions. you don't ask your colleagues to do that. and i didn't ask. he volunteered. i was catching a lot of grief back home. when you're surrounded by mick mulvaney and jeff duncan, you're going to catch grief if you vote for c.r.'s. and i was sharing with paul, i don't know how to handle this, they're telling me don't vote for any more c.r.'s. and paul said, i'll call them. give me their numbers, i'll call them. and the chairman of the budget committee called other people's problems and he said this is not ideological. it is strategic. and to paul it is never personal. it is always policy. from then on, i saw paul most often in the gym. how you lift weights for eight years and still have such little muscles is amazing to me. but if you think about it, kevin kevin mccarthy has worked out or eight years and done cardio and he's fit. if you're looking for paul ryan in the mornings between 6:00 and 7:00 a.m. you'll find him in the gym leading republicans and d
