00:00:00.000 Hey guys, it's Jack. I wanted to let you know that we're starting a new push for subscriptions
00:00:06.800 here on Human Events Daily. So make sure that when you're listening to this podcast, you
00:00:11.900 hit subscribe, you download it, and you share it with five of your friends. Make sure they're
00:00:17.340 all going and downloading as well, because we need to get the signal out as much as possible.
00:00:22.580 Look, we've done so much over the past couple of years since this show started, and we're
00:00:26.760 only going to do so much more. Let's get it. This is what happens when the fourth turning
00:00:36.440 meets fifth generation warfare. A commentator, international social media sensation,
00:00:47.000 and former Navy intelligence veteran. This is Human Events with your host,
00:00:51.080 Jack Posobiec. Christ is king. And lift off the crew of Artemis II now bound for the moon.
00:00:58.900 Humanity's next great voyage begins. This official tells News Nation an American journalist
00:01:05.980 kidnapped in Baghdad had repeatedly been warned about specific threats against her.
00:01:11.640 Shelly Kittleson was abducted in the Iraqi capital on Tuesday. American officials told
00:01:16.360 her as recently as Monday night that she could be targeted. President Trump leaving the Supreme
00:01:20.800 court after a historic 90-minute first visit by a sitting president as the government's attorney
00:01:26.640 argued birthright citizenship has become exploited. We're in a new world now, as Justice Alito pointed
00:01:31.900 out to, where 8 billion people are one plane ride away from having a child who's a U.S. citizen.
00:01:36.940 Today, as hundreds of immigrant advocates rallied outside the court, most of the justices
00:01:41.360 signaled they aren't buying Trump's plan. They're so jealous of Erica. I said, you know, Sue,
00:01:47.800 I can say you're not allowed to say this. You have to be nicer. Sue their a** off.
00:01:53.080 We have confirmed from multiple sources, John, that the president has been talking privately 0.79
00:01:57.500 recently about replacing the Attorney General Pam Bondi, firing her from her role running the
00:02:02.800 Justice Department, and actually instead putting the EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin in that position.
00:02:08.380 President Trump in a primetime update on the war in Iran suggested the operation is close to an end.
00:02:14.200 We are on track to complete all of America's military objectives shortly, very shortly.
00:02:20.380 Nothing new on a timeline, but President Trump offered a full-throated defense of the war.
00:02:25.660 My first preference was always the path of diplomacy, yet the regime 0.85
00:02:30.380 continued their relentless quest for nuclear weapons. 0.88
00:02:34.200 Following weeks of attacks on Iran, President Trump promised to continue the U.S. bombing 0.78
00:02:38.640 campaign, but said nothing about American boots on Iranian soil.
00:02:43.160 For years, everyone has said that Iran cannot have nuclear weapons.
00:02:47.800 But in the end, those are just words if you're not willing to take action when the time comes.
00:02:56.280 Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome on board today's edition of Human Events Daily.
00:03:00.520 We're here live, Washington, D.C., on Real America's Voice.
00:03:04.520 Today is April 2nd.
00:03:05.760 April 2nd, yes, of course, April 2nd, 2026.
00:03:08.740 Anno Domini. Here live in studio riding shotgun co-pilot today is Benny Ray Harmony,
00:03:15.320 our Washington, D.C. correspondent for Real America's Voice, and as longtime viewers will
00:03:20.220 remember, the original producer of Human Events. What's up, Benny Ray?
00:03:23.340 Oh, nothing, Jack. Just happy to be here.
00:03:25.160 Well, and we see, of course, another big day and yet another change in the White House as we've
00:03:33.140 seen another cabinet official is now moving out. News just breaking, really just before we went
00:03:39.840 to air here, that A.G. Bondi will be leaving the Department of Justice. And in fact, Deputy Attorney
00:03:46.200 General Todd Blanche is moving in as the interim head of the Department of Justice. And interestingly
00:03:52.240 enough, we had Todd Blanche here on this program just a few days ago for a full sit-down interview
00:03:58.640 where we talked about all things Antifa, we talked about the Epstein releases,
00:04:04.560 we talked about the Charlie Kirk case, and he was able to give us as much information as we could.
00:04:09.700 So just a few days ago, we had Todd Blanchon, which unbeknownst to myself,
00:04:14.640 and his staff certainly didn't notice or certainly didn't mention to us that this would be coming up.
00:04:20.280 So this may have been a bit of a surprise move.
00:04:22.340 We've also seen, of course, just in the last few days,
00:04:25.480 that it was the Department of Homeland Security had its turnover of Kristi Noem and then the
00:04:31.600 takeover by Mullins. You're here in D.C. You're on the Hill. You're hearing this over and over.
00:04:37.220 What do you what is your make? What are you hearing out of Capitol Hill in terms of some of the
00:04:41.460 turnover that's going on? And to be sure, usually at the one year mark, you do see turnover in the
00:04:46.480 cabinet. How much of this is that versus how much of this from your from what you're hearing
00:04:50.700 is, is the president, you know, putting people into different spots?
00:04:54.940 Well, I will say, I remember we were sitting in the briefing room the day that it was announced
00:04:58.040 that Kristi Noem was being replaced. And the first topic next was, what's it going to do with Pam
00:05:03.660 Bondi? A lot of people had questions. They kind of, I think people saw this coming a little bit.
00:05:07.340 There were some questions surrounding it. We were talking about, you know, she's done an excellent
00:05:11.500 job and she's been a Trump loyalist for, you know, how many years has been by his side,
00:05:16.180 but there have been... She was right. She was right there in Philadelphia in 2020.
00:05:18.760 Right there. I mean, she really has not left his side. And so I think that it's probably a difficult decision. What are you going to do? But, you know, with Kristi Noem now leaving and with Pam Bondi, like I said, there's lots of conversations around it. But also, I think this shows kind of the movement of the administration.
00:05:38.480 I think a lot of even people in the press, they can see that whereas in former administrations, the president's kind of just even if they weren't happy with the performance of their cabinet members, they didn't do anything.
00:05:48.840 And so this shows President Trump he's on top of it and he has certain goals, certain missions that he wants to accomplish.
00:05:53.000 And even if that person that he first put into place maybe isn't that person anymore, he's going to relocate them and try new.
00:06:00.520 And so I think overall, I mean, I think this was a good move, but I think there are going to be a lot of questions surrounding it.
00:06:05.700 Well, and of course, we're digging in as well. And, you know, a lot of questions, of course, to come up. Will there be more? Will there be more turnover for the administration? If there's this rumor that Lee Zeldin may come over from EPA. So, of course, that would create another opening.
00:06:22.660 Todd Blanchett, you'll have him interim. And then what's going to happen after that? Is he going to go back to being second in line? What's that going to look like?
00:06:28.700 Or maybe he goes over to EPA. Yeah. There's quite a bit. The musical chairs. And of course,
00:06:34.160 we know that in the first administration, there was turnover as well. So that is certainly to
00:06:39.620 be expected as we are hurtling towards a midterm election in November as well. The president giving
00:06:46.780 his remarks last night. We were live here on Real America's Voice, Benny Ray, myself,
00:06:51.300 covering all of that in real time. So stay tuned for more. We're going to have updates on this
00:06:57.480 And as it develops, Human Events Daily continues here live, Washington, D.C.
00:07:19.420 And in our way and our golden age has just begun.
00:07:23.180 This is Human Events with Jack Posobo.
00:07:24.820 Now it's time for everyone to understand what America First truly means.
00:07:29.600 Welcome to the second American Revolution.
00:07:39.060 Ailey, Real America's Voice.
00:07:41.000 And folks, by the way, I got to tell you, so we were down at CPAC.
00:07:43.960 Everybody knows we saw that.
00:07:45.300 We had to sit down with Todd Blanch.
00:07:46.440 It was amazing.
00:07:47.240 And then I got to come home, and we had the ghost bed there.
00:07:50.780 Benny Ray, let me tell you something.
00:07:52.140 Um, are you, are you, are you, are you satisfied with your mattress?
00:07:56.540 The, the kind of, the kind of, no, every single morning with so many aches and pains in my
00:08:01.020 neck and back.
00:08:01.860 Are you serious?
00:08:02.260 No, seriously.
00:08:02.920 I'm being like, I'm in it.
00:08:03.900 It's, it's something I'm trying to figure out right now.
00:08:05.800 Okay.
00:08:06.100 Well this, this, you are in love, my friend.
00:08:09.340 Uh, no, I actually, I mean, it's, it's Poso power and you know, it's good talking to agent
00:08:14.220 Poso over here.
00:08:14.980 So we got the new bed in, no, you can't slouch, you can't slouch.
00:08:19.060 But I get it.
00:08:20.120 You want to because your back is like tense because you think about it.
00:08:23.400 You're spending so many hours a day on your bed, so on your back or on your side.
00:08:28.840 I'm kind of a side sleeper myself.
00:08:29.960 Yeah, me too.
00:08:30.380 But that you think about it.
00:08:32.400 It's like one-third of your day.
00:08:33.440 That's one-third of your week, one-third of your year.
00:08:35.640 One-third of your year, four months, is going to be on a bed.
00:08:39.460 And so people are sitting there going, wait a minute.
00:08:41.840 If you're spending that much time on this thing, it has that much connection to your health,
00:08:44.880 and people are talking everyday podcasts, the health podcast, which is blown up.
00:08:48.040 Maha's blown up that your sleep health matters. So we got the new ghost bed. We got this thing
00:08:53.900 sent to us by ghost bed. We did the hybrid style. So it's sort of a mix between a traditional
00:08:58.220 mattress and a foam mattress. I got to tell you, this thing's amazing. Does it kind of do you sink
00:09:01.700 into it kind of a little bit, but not as much as a full memory. Yes. So it has that support. It has
00:09:10.100 more support the way the traditional mattress does, but it also has that, that sink in ability
00:09:15.120 the way that a foam does and so it gives you to what I think is the best of both worlds and I love
00:09:20.800 it because I'll go and sleep on a mattress at a hotel and so I was going to say because we're down
00:09:25.340 CPAC and then I come back I come home and it's like all that just goes away it just all goes
00:09:30.340 away so Benny Ray Harman you need to get a ghost bed I think you sold me this thing it is well look

00:10:35.060 sleep but the news never does especially in washington dc i want to get will chamberlain
00:10:39.160 on now from the Article 3 project, because you guys know everything that's going on in Washington,
00:10:45.160 D.C. from the legal perspective. Of course, you were covering tremendous coverage, by the way,
00:10:49.860 yesterday of the Supreme Court hearing that I saw you doing as well over on the Charlie Kirk show
00:10:53.820 and just on Twitter in general. And will this news out of out of the Department of Justice.
00:10:59.540 Now, I got to ask, man, do you think that Trump just really didn't like being over at the Supreme
00:11:05.240 court yesterday and that this is some way tied to the Department of Justice changeover? What's
00:11:10.860 going on? I think that could be it, but it's not really. I doubt that Pam Bondi would be the person
00:11:15.700 you'd be frustrated. I mean, John Sauer is a solicitor general. I mean, John Sauer, and people
00:11:20.360 should, one, we haven't even lost that case yet. I think people are dooming too much over it. As I
00:11:25.260 mentioned on Charlie Kirk yesterday, I think we've got a fighting chance. It was a tough case from
00:11:29.460 the beginning. But I think this more has to do with some lingering frustrations with Bondi over
00:11:34.980 the past year and a half. That said, I mean, I've always been a person who thinks that
00:11:38.480 Bonnie's actually done a pretty good job, especially on the terms of running the department.
00:11:43.560 We're sort of victories in the law take a long time and we're starting to see more and more of
00:11:48.080 them come out. I mean, we got a 92% win rate of the Supreme Court. We're starting to grind out
00:11:52.380 these wins in these immigration cases, namely like the temporary protected status cases and where,
00:11:57.960 you know, these judges have thrown a wrench in the system, a big Fifth Circuit win that's going
00:12:02.880 allow us to detain illegal immigrants without bonds. So, you know, and she's done a ton on 0.52
00:12:07.520 crime and disorder. So I think she did a good job. I think she was just not, you know, my basic
00:12:12.500 assessment of Bondi is she was she was running the department while she was not doing a great
00:12:16.180 job on the comm side. I think that, you know, you go back to the Epstein thing and the files there.
00:12:20.820 I didn't think she handled that particularly well. And I don't think she was great in front
00:12:24.080 of Congress. But I'm not, you know, I don't I don't think she did a bad job. I think she was
00:12:28.760 very loyal to the president. And I think, you know, when you look at the president's statement
00:12:31.560 today, you see that she was, he was very fond of Pam Bondi, even if he decided he wanted to make
00:12:35.560 a change. You know, I think that's right. And so when you look at this and, and it's, you know,
00:12:40.680 it's interesting for us that we, we just did a sit down, long sit down with Deputy Attorney General
00:12:45.460 Todd Blanche just a couple of days ago. And I ran him through, peppered him with all sorts of
00:12:50.800 questions about Epstein, about these Antifa tiger teams that they've now set up between the FBI and
00:12:55.760 the IRS, looking at the left wing, money flows, the organizational side of the militant left,
00:13:01.560 even asked him questions about the Tyler Robinson case. Obviously, he wasn't able to
00:13:05.400 divulge too much because that is still a criminal case that's going to trial. And as a former
00:13:09.560 prosecutor, he even said that that's not something that he wanted to get into. But, you know, just
00:13:14.200 say, what's your view of Todd Blanche, of his reputation? And how do you think that he'll be
00:13:20.380 running the department, at least in terms of the interim here? I mean, Todd Blanche is a really,
00:13:25.640 a really good lawyer and a really, really good deputy attorney general. And so now as interim
00:13:29.060 attorney general, I mean, the thing people need to understand too, that the deputy attorney general
00:13:33.140 runs most of the day-to-day of the department already. And so he's in a position where he knows
00:13:38.260 all the serious, he's on top of all the serious matters. I don't think it'll be, it'll be very
00:13:42.740 seamless transition if he's remaining in as interim while whoever the president chooses
00:13:47.840 ends up getting confirmed. So I think that makes me very optimistic. I think we're going to keep
00:13:52.380 making progress on all the fronts that the DOJ has been making progress on. And I'm looking
00:13:57.900 forward to what he and the new AG are able to do in the future. You know, he seemed absolutely on
00:14:04.840 top of things when we sat down with him last week. He did quite a bit. He's also, by the way,
00:14:09.760 the one who, you know, just on Epstein, Todd Blanche is the one who actually went and sat
00:14:14.700 down with Ghislaine Maxwell and then released a full transcript of all of the information that
00:14:19.620 came out of there, and he's done extensive interviews since then, going through question
00:14:23.740 and question and question about this. And I think that while some, myself included, as everyone
00:14:29.640 remembers, were frustrated at what seemed was the lack of transparency in terms of the communications
00:14:36.260 early on, Todd Blanche, not only did he conduct all that, even when he came here on Human Events
00:14:41.940 Daily, he acknowledged the communications issues that the department had gone through and said,
00:14:46.400 we should have done a better job. And I think the fact that he's been going around and doing this
00:14:51.720 media tour that we were certainly a part of is a big part of that as well, being willing to say,
00:14:56.820 hey, there are questions. We get it. This was a crazy case. Let's actually sit down and hash out
00:15:02.420 the questions instead of sort of putting up this wall, which is, of course, from a communications
00:15:06.380 perspective, never really the best way to go about things. Yeah, I think that's right. And I mean,
00:15:12.200 people need to understand, Todd Blanchett has released millions of files. The amount of legal
00:15:15.720 time and effort that went into complying with the Massey-Kana legislation that forced the
00:15:21.840 disclosure of all these files. Todd Blanch was in charge of that and made it happen. I mean,
00:15:26.600 there's a huge repository of files that we now have access to. And people also need to understand
00:15:31.620 that, you know, they complained about the redactions, but the redactions were required
00:15:34.720 by the Massey-Kana legislation. They made, and that resulted in a huge number of legal man hours
00:15:40.400 that had to be put in to review all these documents. You know, speaking as a lawyer who's
00:15:43.440 done document review when i looked at that legislation and understood what that entailed
00:15:47.660 i was like man they're going to be you know hundreds of lawyers all over the country doing
00:15:51.320 doc review for for weeks on just on this case and my understanding was that if you were not in trial
00:15:57.420 in new york you were working on the epstein matter doing all this document disclosure so
00:16:01.200 top lanche was very good on that and he also managed to while doing all that additional work
00:16:06.160 that was foisted upon him keep all the other balls rolling that doj has rolling so i think i
00:16:10.320 think he's really competent. I'm really impressed, impressed with Todd Blanche. And I hope he remains
00:16:14.960 even after he's no longer interim and we get a new AG. I think I hope he remains as the deputy.
00:16:20.300 Well, you had mentioned, you know, Pambani's kind of performance when she was, you know,
00:16:25.940 in Congress and speaking to these members. Can you kind of take us through that a little bit?
00:16:30.380 What do you think could have been done better that, you know, Todd Blanche could maybe
00:16:34.060 step in and take, you know, if that makes sense. Well, I don't know that Todd Blanche will have
00:16:40.720 that sort of role in terms, usually it's the AG that goes in front of Congress. So I think,
00:16:45.500 you know, I think, I don't think Todd Blanche will be in the position long enough to like
00:16:48.800 schedule congressional hearings. I expect that it'll be the next AG who appears in front of
00:16:52.420 Congress. I think, I think Pambani was just a little bit, honestly, just a little bit stilted
00:16:57.020 in front of Congress, was not the most quick on her feet in terms of answering questions.
00:17:02.360 She still was very tough, and I really admired that about her, how she really didn't take anything from some of these people.
00:17:07.800 But I think there are better – there will be better advocates, public advocates for what the administration is doing.
00:17:13.900 I think that that is a big thing.
00:17:16.020 And also I think someone – I think Pambani was also not the most sophisticated social media user.
00:17:21.860 It didn't have a great understanding of the way new media worked, and as a result, some of the communications from her department under her leadership felt a little stilted.
00:17:29.060 I think that a new AG who's a little more savvy, because, you know, remember,
00:17:33.480 Pam Bondi wasn't in office for quite a long time, and Lee Zeldin was a representative very recently.
00:17:38.100 He's the guy who's chosen.
00:17:39.900 I hear a lot of good names floated.
00:17:41.360 My old boss, Ron DeSantis, I think would be an excellent attorney general, for example.
00:17:44.160 So a lot of good names floated, and I think they'll do a better job of handling that public-facing role that the AG is really, really key for.
00:17:52.100 No, I couldn't agree more.
00:17:53.620 Well, that being said, when you have the AG turnover like this, does it have a strong effect, would you say, on specific cases that may be ongoing?
00:18:05.120 Not unless you get rid of the whole top floor, right?
00:18:07.360 Like if suddenly Blanche was gone and Stan Woodward, who I believe is the number three at DOJ, was gone, that actually could cause real problems because then you have to get a whole new set of people up to speed on all the important matters.
00:18:19.760 But as long as Todd, I mean, Todd Blanche actually has more people reporting to him on a day to day basis than Pam Bondi does.
00:18:24.460 That's the way the department is structured. So as long as you keep Todd around, you're going to have the continuity.
00:18:28.980 And I don't expect any hiccups. No, I think that's exactly right.
00:18:33.660 Well, well, are you with us for another segment? We can hold you over. Sure. OK, great.
00:18:38.340 Yeah, we'll hold we'll hold you over because there's so much going on.
00:18:41.800 I definitely want to get into that. Maybe pick your brain a little bit on where we stand in the Supreme Court with this.
00:18:47.100 Jack Posobiec, Benny Ray Harmony, sitting shotgun today.
00:18:50.820 My co-pilot here on Human Events Daily in Washington, D.C.
00:18:58.480 Talk about influences. These are influences.
00:19:01.980 And they're friends of mine.
00:19:04.300 Jack Posobiec. Where's Jack?
00:19:06.760 Jack. He's done a great job.
00:19:11.640 All right, folks, we're back.
00:19:12.760 Jack Posobiec here, live, Human Events Daily, Washington, D.C.
00:19:17.480 We're here with Benny Rae Harmony.
00:19:19.460 She is the co-pilot and co-host of Human Events.
00:19:22.520 Benny Rae, I should also tell you, by the way, thank you for filling in you and Bo Davidson while I was away for Tanya Tay's birthday.
00:19:29.020 Yeah, of course.
00:19:29.280 I really appreciated you guys crushed it, did some fun episodes, good news.
00:19:32.640 You guys did great.
00:19:33.360 Thank you.
00:19:33.800 We were happy to do it.
00:19:34.560 It was great.
00:19:35.140 And Bo's just fantastic.
00:19:36.500 He can roll with it.
00:19:37.800 And you kind of fly by the wind, you know what I mean?
00:19:40.880 And so that's what me and Bo kind of did. And we did. It was it was awesome to see.
00:19:45.040 So I want to get Will Chamberlain. So, Will, we, of course, were covering the Supreme Court case yesterday.
00:19:51.440 We had your colleague, Mike Davis, on the program.
00:19:54.520 He and I think a lot of people said that, you know, doesn't look as if the Supreme Court is going to rule for the administration on this question of birthright citizenship.
00:20:04.320 And so we got into an interesting discussion of what could be done in response then?
00:20:11.300 What other alternatives for belief would there be?
00:20:14.180 And I suggest, I'll throw it right out there, what if we just ran a massive campaign? 0.65
00:20:18.840 What if we turned the entire 2026 midterm elections into, go with me on this, illegal immigration amendment to the Constitution? 0.53
00:20:28.620 Couldn't we do that? Why can't we do that? 0.72
00:20:31.400 We could. I mean, we're never going to have sufficient votes to actually get those things
00:20:35.620 enacted. But I mean, running on them is not a bad idea at all. I also I mean, I do want to say I'm
00:20:40.400 you know, and I can I'm allowed to disagree with my boss. Right. I actually am a little more
00:20:45.180 optimistic, not necessarily that I think it's more likely than not that will prevail. But I think I
00:20:49.460 think Mike is a little more blackpilled than I am on the oral argument. Having listened to the way
00:20:54.800 that they went after the ACLU attorney, I thought that they were a lot of the justices were asking
00:20:58.960 the right questions, specifically Gorsuch, Alito, Kavanaugh, we're all asking really good
00:21:04.120 questions. So I'm not sure that won't, I think it could be a 5-4. I think we might actually swing
00:21:09.160 it. But, you know, assuming we don't, assuming my boss is correct on this question. That's one
00:21:15.460 thing we can do. I think we can push for illegal immigration amendments. Let me also just throw 0.99
00:21:19.140 out there as well that perhaps rather than a sweeping opposition, there are also times when
00:21:25.040 the court puts out, you know, things that are sort of in part. So, you know, they could sort of put
00:21:31.220 out a narrow, they could narrow the scope of birthright citizenship, so not do away with it
00:21:36.500 completely, but perhaps make it so that there are some stricter guidelines that need to be followed,
00:21:41.500 that sort of thing. Yeah, and it's curious, you know, one of the big questions is like,
00:21:46.520 what does the phrase subject to the jurisdiction mean? And the ACLU's contention is that it means
00:21:52.600 a limited closed set of three exceptions that were extant at the time of the enactment of the
00:21:58.720 14th Amendment. And I think, you know, Kavanaugh had this really interesting point about how,
00:22:03.500 you know, if that was the case, why didn't they just list those exceptions rather than coming up
00:22:08.280 with this sort of general phrase that could apply to other people as well? So I think you could
00:22:13.380 easily see a world where, you know, temporary sojourners who were discussed at the time,
00:22:17.480 the amendment, they were much rarer, but they were discussed. Children of temporary sojourners,
00:22:20.520 nobody would have thought they would have gotten 0.99
00:22:22.340 citizenship
00:22:23.680 and so they might try and craft a rule
00:22:26.320 that allows the administration
00:22:28.160 to ban birth tourism for example
00:22:30.020 even if they say
00:22:31.940 the children of illegal aliens who've been here for 20 years
00:22:34.440 those people need to be granted citizenship 0.99
00:22:35.820 but maybe the children of the Chinese people who show up
00:22:38.280 in the northern Mariana Islands
00:22:39.460 and randomly give birth and then head home
00:22:42.060 those kids don't get citizenship
00:22:43.340 that could be some sort of splitting the baby rule
00:22:45.380 there's not an obvious
00:22:47.540 principle way to do it necessarily
00:22:49.020 Well, literally splitting the baby in this case.
00:22:52.280 Yes.
00:22:52.940 Splitting the babies.
00:22:54.080 Babies, yes.
00:22:55.080 Between citizenship and not citizenship.
00:22:57.700 Not the individual babies, but, you know, a category of babies.
00:23:01.380 Well, of course, speaking of which, though, I had to throw out this on Twitter last night.
00:23:05.500 Isn't it interesting that when you speak to the liberal judges and Ketanji Brown-Jackson,
00:23:10.480 that when all of a sudden, when you're not talking about abortion, suddenly the pregnant women and
00:23:17.360 their children get referred to as citizens or pre-citizens with full rights. And here she is
00:23:24.320 upholding the rights of these unborn children when they happen to be the children of immigrants
00:23:30.820 and foreigners and temporary sojourners and all these things. But when you switch to abortion,
00:23:35.940 Oh, suddenly, suddenly it's another question altogether.
00:23:39.840 It's insane.
00:23:40.940 Yeah, it's really interesting how they can say, you know, I mean, you see this all the time,
00:23:44.760 liberal judges suddenly becoming these like unbelievably narrow-minded originalists
00:23:48.640 when they think they have the text on their side.
00:23:51.560 It's remarkable about how that works.
00:23:53.480 It's like magic.
00:23:54.800 But well, so the Constitutional Amendment, that's there.
00:23:57.120 And by the way, I do think that that would be popular.
00:23:59.660 I do think it would.
00:24:00.440 But there are also a number of procedural questions and procedural items that could be done here, possibly not even just the federal level, but even on the state level.
00:24:10.340 When you're talking about the birth certificates that the state health departments are issuing, they could simply write non-citizen on them and simply label them as non-citizen.
00:24:18.600 I believe the attorney general of Oklahoma has talked about visas are another way.
00:24:23.660 What are some of the other options that the administration could look at?
00:24:27.500 I don't know that those would work if we straight up lost this birthright citizenship case.
00:24:31.540 People need to understand that it's a bad outcome if we lose it fully, because it means that birthright citizenship becomes constitutionalized at the federal level, which means the states can't do things that contradict it.
00:24:40.700 So I don't know that that would survive. 0.63
00:24:42.400 What I think we can do, though, is the federal government has enormous authority when it comes to letting people in and out of the country.
00:24:47.700 And so there could be a major crackdown on tourist visa issuances from China, other sorts of visa issuances from China in order to stop birthright citizenship.
00:24:56.820 I don't know. Maybe you could also put in place rules that say, you know, from certain nations, you're you cannot be pregnant when you show up. 0.77
00:25:03.020 And like that would be a very interesting one, because it would mean that, you know, if you're visibly pregnant, you're you know, you're not allowed to get a tourist visa.
00:25:11.240 You just get turned away. Benny, Benny, Benny's making a face. Benny, what's the face?
00:25:17.880 I you know, Benny, are you breaking news on the show here?
00:25:20.640 Listen, I am all, Jack, stop. I am all for it. I just wonder how the Democrats and how the liberals would twist that and make it discrimination on pregnant people at that point and then contradict themselves again when they don't really care about pregnant people to begin with.
00:25:38.460 But wait, wait, wait. Of course it's discrimination. That's the role of the visa process. That's what a border is. A border is inherently discriminatory.
00:25:46.320 Our entire immigration law is built on discriminating between immigrants of various kinds based on various factors.
00:25:51.760 Every immigration law and every rule is discrimination. 0.97
00:25:54.500 That's the point. 0.97
00:25:56.180 Yes.
00:25:58.080 Yeah, okay.
00:25:59.380 You know, there's a lot going on right now, Jack.
00:26:02.260 Will, we love when we have Benny Ray on.
00:26:03.960 It's absolutely the best.
00:26:05.020 Will, where can people go to follow you to get your discriminatory legal analysis?
00:26:09.740 Yes, for further discrimination, please go to at Will Chamberlain on X,
00:26:13.520 as well as the A3Paction.com, where we advocate for various types of discrimination.
00:26:18.780 Sorry, stop, stop, stop.
00:26:21.240 You know, Mike wouldn't like that.
00:26:23.260 Although, you know, who knows?
00:26:24.900 That being said, Mike Davis, you'll never find a more discriminating lawyer in all of Washington, D.C.
00:26:33.600 Jack Posovic, Betty Ray Harmony.
00:26:35.540 More discrimination ahead here on Human Events Daily.
00:26:43.520 Where is Jack? Where is Jack? Where is he? Jack, I want to see you. Great job, Jack. Thank you. What a job you do. You know, we have an incredible thing. We're always talking about the fake news and the bad, but we have guys, and these are the guys who should be getting Pulisic.
00:27:04.220 All right, folks, we're back.
00:27:07.600 Jack Posobiec, Benny Ray Harmony here.
00:27:10.360 Human Events Daily, your headquarters for legal discrimination.
00:27:17.900 You knew I was going to do it.
00:27:18.700 You knew I was going to do it.
00:27:19.780 You know, we are the discrimination show.
00:27:22.380 Your discrimination station.
00:27:24.560 Your discrimination destination here in Washington, your destination.
00:27:29.860 We've got Rich Barris coming on the People's Pundit.
00:27:32.220 rich is like what are they talking about rich welcome to the discrimination show
00:27:36.480 that that's great to be here as always because we were talking about we were talking about
00:27:40.820 immigration and the immigration ruling and i said well what if we and will chamberlain was on he
00:27:44.740 said why don't we just ban uh pregnant women from entering and benny ray is like well well aren't
00:27:49.580 the democrats going to call that discrimination i'm like of course it's discrimination what is
00:27:54.380 exactly that's exactly my point but rich yeah so i wanted to get you on because you know we're
00:28:02.040 Obviously, a lot is going on, but the breaking news of the day has been the story about A.G.
00:28:08.880 Bondi just a couple blocks away from where we're sitting here in Washington, D.C.
00:28:13.480 We've seen the politics of this.
00:28:15.260 We've seen, of course, you know, the ups and downs of her tenure at the Department of Justice.
00:28:21.440 Wanted to get your take on it because we're seeing, you know, that it's sort of the one-year itch that I think is coming up with cabinet officials.
00:28:28.580 you know it's like a year and change since the cabinet's been in and you look at the
00:28:33.320 confirmation process it really is the one year mark do you think that's what this is or do you
00:28:38.320 think there's something more political going on here throw it to you rich rich barris well look
00:28:43.220 i've got to pull no punches when it comes to the attorney general as a public opinion pollster it's
00:28:48.200 a little hard to point to a single cabinet member who may have hurt the president more than pan
00:28:53.000 Bondi. Nobody, you know, nobody is the face of the Epstein file situation more than her. We've
00:29:00.640 pulled this, Jack. You've seen it. She's the most unpopular cabinet member in the administration.
00:29:05.640 This is a better late than never. I would have liked to see this earlier as far as just, you
00:29:11.320 know, the political side of this, you know, what the president, you know, needs to do in order to
00:29:17.040 clean the slate, Jack. You know, it is that one year mark, right? And we're going to see a lot
00:29:21.020 more probably after the midterms uh but that's that's normal but pam bondy uh is again you know
00:29:27.860 not just with you know democrats and independents there are even a lot of republicans who were
00:29:33.400 pretty much done with pam bondy at this point this is good this long time coming honestly
00:29:38.060 so you think this is something now that being said though uh you know we've seen a lot from
00:29:43.580 the president we saw this this speech last night uh this really was there and and by the way rich
00:29:48.380 this is something that, you know, the president, when he goes big, he wants to go big. So you saw
00:29:52.400 this big speech, this big moment that he gave last night. Now we're seeing Pam. So do you think
00:29:58.080 that perhaps he's trying to sort of show some big moves from the White House that are really going
00:30:04.920 to grab, you know, grab people's attention? And perhaps, you know, just perhaps he's trying to
00:30:10.600 shift some of the narrative regarding the administration that, of course, we've seen
00:30:15.140 in the media over polling
00:30:17.000 numbers, you know, Harry Enten
00:30:18.920 talking about Death Valley yesterday,
00:30:20.880 these types of things. Do you think he's
00:30:22.880 trying to shake some of that off? 1.00
00:30:25.320 What happened to the 100%,
00:30:26.800 Harry? What happened to that? That was quick,
00:30:29.460 right? Three days went from
00:30:31.020 100% historic support
00:30:33.000 to Death Valley in the end
00:30:35.000 of days, right?
00:30:36.360 Rich, what do you really think of Harry Enten?
00:30:38.940 Don't hold back.
00:30:41.220 He willikers,
00:30:42.860 Wally, you know?
00:30:44.120 I mean, it's just anyone from our neck of the woods knows a snake oil salesman when you see one.
00:30:49.200 I don't know if I've ever seen one in this business where I am like Harry Enten before.
00:30:53.520 He's like the guy in the corner selling the CDs we talked about, right?
00:30:57.060 But basically, yeah, I mean, look, I do think the president's a showman.
00:31:00.760 He knows what time it is.
00:31:02.040 I think he has been feeling this for a while.
00:31:04.540 I mean, he may say, you know, some things he's got.
00:31:06.420 Look, politicians have to say something in public and, you know, do some make moves in the background.
00:31:12.260 That's just the way it is, right?
00:31:13.600 But I think the president, and I've said this for a while, even though I have been very critical and I've been not optimistic going into November, if anyone can do this, Jack, it's him.
00:31:23.580 And he knows exactly what to do in order to shift.
00:31:26.620 It's not like he doesn't, in order to make that shift, which needs to be a big shift.
00:31:30.620 I just would caution, though, and say, I just hope we don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
00:31:36.140 You know, make some changes, do what you got to do.
00:31:38.140 But, you know, there's obviously we're hearing other rumors.
00:31:41.380 you know let's just let's just hope we get this one today and uh we'll see how it goes in the
00:31:46.540 future but this is a big step because pan bondy is the face of his first real the real sign of
00:31:52.860 trouble jack and his approval rating and in the coalition pan bondy's the face of it so um you
00:31:58.760 know for anyone who wants to see or has been wanting to see what you're talking about this
00:32:03.000 is a good day well and we have seen we have seen turnover as well we've seen christy noem
00:32:08.720 It happens. You know, she's she's gone out. Dan Bongino, by the way, who, you know, wasn't a cabinet member, but also extremely, extremely high profile, certainly, again, with the base.
00:32:19.900 And so, Rich, let me ask you this. Do you think in terms of calibration, assuming this is political for sake of argument, do you think this is calibrated as for the base or perhaps more for that broader coalition of voters that seem to have drifted away since 2024?
00:32:36.720 Yeah, I think that's why this is so smart, because it is broad.
00:32:41.480 When you look at the polling that we did, you know, at the end of the day, Donald Trump is beloved by the base, Jack.
00:32:49.760 You know, I mean, they give him so much benefit of the doubt, right?
00:32:53.380 This has to go toward the people who are new to the coalition and, you know, loosely aligned.
00:32:59.360 I wouldn't even say, you know, they were dating with the Republican Party.
00:33:01.920 They were flirting, right?
00:33:03.160 You didn't even get to take them out to dinner yet.
00:33:05.200 They came over in 24 and they were flirting with the idea. And Pam Bond is, again, central to their souring somewhat. So I do think it's to them, which is smart, right? The base is going to go along with whatever, because the base is different folks in that, like when you hear arguments, no matter what, Democrats are worse, so we have to vote, right?
00:33:28.180 That's a base argument. But for this move and for people who are out there and that argument's not good enough for them, that's for them.
00:33:37.860 And by the way, I hate to say this, but some voters are more important than others, right?
00:33:42.200 Some voters are always going to show up, others not so much. And this is for them. And that's why it's good.
00:33:48.420 And Rich, I don't know if you, I don't know if Jack kind of already asked this question, but with your research that you do and kind of just with how much you're watching,
00:33:56.420 We know some of these main issues going into the midterms that are going to be huge for voters.
00:34:00.740 But, you know, after we heard Trump's speech last night, what do you think people really care about the most right now that is going to be the difference maker, if you have any?
00:34:10.900 Yeah, that's why I do like to see him make big moves and pivot, because you can go out there and say we achieved our objectives and we won, even take the W and go home.
00:34:20.280 But it doesn't help people pay their grocery bill.
00:34:22.680 It doesn't help people pay their mortgage.
00:34:24.020 So I do want to see the president shift into something else and start, you know, the news, the headlines, they're constantly dominated by foreign policy.
00:34:32.000 Foreign policy is number seven on our rank distribution for most important issues.
00:34:36.640 It's gone.
00:34:37.500 It's like nowhere near the top.
00:34:39.040 That's important.
00:34:39.680 Yeah, that's important to know right there that people, that's not their top. 1.00
00:34:43.580 So, Rich, are you trying to say it's the economy, stupid? 1.00
00:34:47.200 The old, you know, the old, you know, the old, the old, the old Clinton, right? 1.00
00:34:53.080 james carville right the old the old phrase like it just comes down to the money it's all about the
00:34:57.580 money look it's important to note too who votes in midterms right of course it tends to be more
00:35:02.680 older and more educated and i hate to say this but they were right the usa today had a piece recently
00:35:07.840 a couple weeks ago and it was actually the female voter over 50 who was really swingy and on the edge
00:35:14.060 it was the economy for them so you know pivoting to the economy and guys i just stress this it
00:35:19.420 doesn't even have to be accomplishments. You just have to be seen optically as fighting for what
00:35:24.700 people want more so than the other side. There are things Republicans can do even if they fail.
00:35:29.820 If they get Democrats to oppose it, it can help their argument with those voters. Those voters
00:35:35.200 will vote regardless, Jack. And if they feel like the Republican party hasn't even tried to address
00:35:39.800 those concerns, it's going to be a problem. Now, there are some other sides of this, you know,
00:35:44.540 with the low propensity part of the coalition that you and I have talked about. That's why
00:35:49.260 I do like this move with Bondi because accountability is important to them.
00:35:53.220 That's actually number four.
00:35:54.880 Number one, just so everybody understands, is the economy and jobs.
00:35:58.680 I'm sorry, that's number two.
00:36:00.280 Inflation is number one.
00:36:01.520 Economy and jobs, health care.
00:36:03.200 Then it's accountability. 0.65
00:36:04.840 Number five is immigration.
00:36:06.460 So this is a way I think the president in the last 24, 48 hours has begun to show some signs that I want to move on.
00:36:14.800 I want to do some other things here.
00:36:16.560 And that's good.
00:36:17.280 Going down to the Supreme Court, taking up birthright citizenship.
00:36:20.380 Rich, I want to make sure before we bounce that we do talk about the fact that you have a new book that is racing up the charts on Amazon with Joshua Lysak, our good friend.
00:36:30.900 Burn it down.
00:36:32.260 That's the answer for Donald Trump. 1.00
00:36:34.880 Just burn it down.
00:36:36.300 And, yeah, thanks for bringing that up, Jack.
00:36:39.760 I mean, honestly, this will be released right before the midterms. 0.85
00:36:42.680 it's a crucial argument about hoping to get people to understand the boomers will fall out
00:36:48.880 of this electorate very very soon what do these other voters want how did donald trump attract
00:36:54.160 these younger voters in the 2024 election and what happens if we don't give them what they want
00:36:59.600 all right and and the the alternative is bleak i mean there's really two two roads we can go down
00:37:05.560 in this country jack we have to pick the right one the other one leads to mom donnie well that's
00:37:10.140 It's MAGA or Mamdani.
00:37:12.380 A lot of us have been saying this.
00:37:14.060 You've got to focus on the disparities in this country.
00:37:17.760 You have to focus on the economics.
00:37:19.220 And one of those is going to burn it down, Rich Davis. 0.82
00:37:22.960 Burn it down, baby. 0.92
00:37:23.400 Thank you so much, Rich.
00:37:24.320 The people's punting it for joining us here on Human Events Daily.
00:37:30.820 All this, the Jack Posobiec Appreciation Hour.
00:37:33.140 I can say confidently, I believe, I think Josh Shapiro would be the vice presidential nominee if it wasn't for Jack Posobiec.
00:37:38.960 And that is, I'll be honest.
00:37:45.220 Hey everybody, Bo Davidson here.
00:37:46.860 I hope that you will check out my Easter special this Saturday and Sunday at 2 p.m. Eastern,
00:37:51.240 which is where I go to the Museum of the Bible and tour two amazing exhibitions,
00:37:55.220 the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Maginno Mosaic.
00:37:57.560 These are both very, very important to people of faith,
00:38:00.000 and I hope that it will inspire you and your family this weekend.
00:38:02.600 So please check it out this weekend, Saturday and Sunday at 2 p.m. Eastern.
00:38:06.860 Happy Easter.
00:38:07.400 This Easter weekend, Real America's Voice is taking you back in time.
00:38:12.620 The Living Word, from scrolls to cross.
00:38:15.900 Journey through history as host Bo Davidson explores the ancient writings
00:38:20.680 that shaped the Bible as we know it today.
00:38:23.960 What do you think is the biggest misconception?
00:38:25.940 The biggest misconceptions early on was that somehow the scrolls were going to undo our beliefs.
00:38:30.580 It actually does the opposite.
00:38:31.940 What we are still practicing today has a genetic connection all the way back 2,000 years.
00:38:36.320 You don't want to miss this special event.
00:38:38.740 Watch Saturday at 2 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m.
00:38:41.780 Only on Real America's Voice.
00:38:45.720 I'm actually really excited for that.
00:38:47.760 The Museum of the Bible is one of my favorite museums here in Washington.
00:38:53.520 Probably actually my favorite these days, if I had to say it.
00:38:56.700 But anyway, have you been in the Museum of the Bible yet?
00:38:58.140 I have, yeah.
00:38:59.120 Me and my mom went, it's amazing.
00:39:00.860 It's so good. It's so good.
00:39:03.000 I got one of the pictures of, is it George Washington, where he's praying at Valley, is it Valley Forge?
00:39:08.140 Of course.
00:39:08.480 Oh, my gosh, and I have it framed in my house.
00:39:10.240 We have that, well, Tanya and I got married in Valley Forge, so that's, yeah, yeah, so that's, for us, we got engaged there, too, actually.
00:39:16.780 Oh, my gosh.
00:39:17.060 And so that's always been just that, and Washington, and so much.
00:39:21.380 Very personal.
00:39:21.820 I grew up, like, you know, going there all the time, Valley Forge, like, every weekend with my family, flying kites, whatever, sledding in the winter, and that's always been so close.
00:39:30.720 But what I love about the Museum of the Bible, there's so much stuff for families that if you have kids, you can there's there's tons of interactive stuff for kids.
00:39:37.980 There's like a playground area, but it's all it's all like, you know, obviously biblical.
00:39:41.400 But then even for like the Bible nerds like me, if you go to that top floor and even like Tanya, because she does the languages.
00:39:48.900 I love the section on the translations and the all the different translations of it.
00:39:55.520 And the partial pieces of the Bible that have been found over the years, it gives you goosebumps.
00:40:05.100 It really does.
00:40:05.700 That was probably my favorite, seeing just the depth of how far it goes.
00:40:10.260 Because we just look at it, you know, it's English.
00:40:12.080 It's our Bible.
00:40:12.980 It's this.
00:40:13.520 Pull it off the shelf and off you go.
00:40:14.580 But when you look at it from that view, it's like, whoa.
00:40:19.140 You're just speechless.
00:40:19.700 And you realize how much, and I see it as the Dead Sea Scrolls exhibit, which I think is phenomenal,
00:40:24.880 that what's so cool about that,
00:40:27.180 we're to tie the Dead Sea Scrolls in
00:40:28.460 and here we are, it is Holy Thursday.
00:40:30.280 We're going in the Holy Week.
00:40:31.300 The Holy Week has begun.
00:40:32.540 We're in the Passion Cycle.
00:40:34.260 And so it's all connected.
00:40:36.000 So today's the day of the Last Supper.
00:40:38.500 Christ gives us the New Covenant.
00:40:40.640 He gives us the Eucharist. 0.58
00:40:42.160 Then you have Good Friday, of course,
00:40:43.620 where he dies.
00:40:45.200 Holy Saturday, where he descends to the dead.
00:40:47.600 And then, of course, Easter Sunday.
00:40:48.860 So you have the whole thing
00:40:50.660 and it begins on Holy Thursday.
00:40:52.660 But when you look at the Dead Sea Scrolls,
00:40:54.880 What was amazing about it, because they had been, you talk about the translation, they had been under seal from the time of Christ until now.
00:41:04.660 And yet we have all these translations over the years.
00:41:07.220 And of course, there's that question, right?
00:41:09.120 Did people go in and edit things?
00:41:10.820 Did people add words?
00:41:11.980 Did they add sections?
00:41:13.420 Did they change things up a little bit to meet the politics?
00:41:16.600 And to be sure, you know, there are translations that do play a little fast and loose, but not to get into all that.
00:41:21.660 But what's amazing was when they pulled those pots out of Qumran in that cave for the Dead Sea Scrolls, they were able to take that and then put it up to the Bible of today.
00:41:32.320 It was mostly Old Testament, and they were able to find the translations were almost verbatim, almost verbatim perfect.
00:41:41.220 And so now you have a check that that means that so throughout those years, when people were translating it, they were doing so faithfully.
00:41:47.880 And when they were copying it down, we get a little we get a little of that.
00:41:51.200 in today's world?
00:41:52.860 We could use some.
00:41:54.400 Well, you know, and of course,
00:41:55.660 when you look at Holy Thursday,
00:41:57.840 you look at Christ's sacrifice for us.
00:41:59.760 This is the Holy Thursday day.
00:42:01.660 That's, you know, it just,
00:42:03.160 it puts everything into perspective.
00:42:06.220 Well, I think it does.
00:42:07.120 And you look at how that day runs.
00:42:09.760 So Christ gives us, you know,
00:42:10.880 he sort of, he establishes the communion
00:42:13.340 in the new covenant, the body and the blood.
00:42:15.800 And because he knows this is going to be
00:42:17.560 my last time that I'm with all of you
00:42:19.860 before I have to go through what I have to go through.
00:42:22.620 He then goes to the Garden of Gethsemane.
00:42:25.000 You have the mystery of the agony in the garden
00:42:26.800 where he's up there, Father, take this cup from me.
00:42:29.980 And of course, that's when Judas comes in and betrays him.
00:42:33.940 There's so, but that's when Peter,
00:42:36.140 Peter denies him the three times.
00:42:37.760 He goes on trial.
00:42:38.960 It's all there.
00:42:39.840 It's all there.
00:42:40.120 One of the things, and I was thinking about this
00:42:42.740 this morning before the show is like,
00:42:44.520 in this world that we're in right now,
00:42:47.520 you think, you know, oh, if someone's hateful
00:42:49.820 towards me it makes you want to be hateful back to them someone betrays you what what do kids in
00:42:53.900 my generation want to do they want to revenge vengeful they want to go right back at them as
00:42:58.220 hard as they came at them and then you look at that story and you're like no you know jesus was
00:43:03.420 literally betrayed by one of his disciples by someone that was in his inner circle and what
00:43:09.780 did he still do he still washed his feet he still he knew it was coming and what did he do he didn't
00:43:16.640 change anything he didn't it's just it's so powerful and i think in the modern world we have
00:43:22.440 to hold on to that the humility the the service we i think we've lost track and then and then when
00:43:28.380 christ is on the cross itself he's he's up there he's in the process of being crucified a a process
00:43:34.980 that is so heinous and so painful and so horrific that we actually had to come up in latin they had
00:43:40.580 to come up with a new a new word for it excrucius or excruciating so the word excruciating the root
00:43:46.240 of that is the same word as to crucify because it is so painful they had to come up with a new word
00:43:51.360 for it and as he's going through that he says father forgive them they know not what they do
00:43:56.380 so he forgives the soldiers he forgives the people who have done the crucifixion and to your point
00:44:02.320 right we're in the society today where you know it's oh somebody came at me i got to come back
00:44:07.280 10 times i mean i've certainly you know someone who's done that as well and you do you do have
00:44:11.580 to stand up for yourself in righteousness righteousness at the time but yes it is very
00:44:17.260 human for us to fall into those patterns yeah no it's it's just and I think it's really not to you
00:44:24.080 know I know we're gonna we're gonna talk about here in a little bit about you know the event
00:44:27.100 tonight the turning point event here here in DC but it goes back to that division and community
00:44:33.420 and and just bringing those like-minded people together and and speaking your faith and doing
00:44:39.660 all the things. And I and that's what today is all about. It's it's about just showing how you
00:44:44.440 should carry out your life and how you should continue to operate regardless of what the world
00:44:48.840 says. Well, so and for for folks who, you know, who don't know that we are going to be we've been
00:44:53.880 talking about all week, but it's tonight, George Washington University right here in Washington,
00:44:58.220 D.C. It's going to be myself. It's going to be Erica Kirk. It's also going to be White House
00:45:02.440 Press Secretary Caroline Levitt. Turning Point USA. This is the Turning Point tour over at GWU,
00:45:09.120 The campus is all set.
00:45:11.560 We're going to be heading over after this,
00:45:13.680 and Real America's Voice is going to be covering that live.
00:45:17.520 So I know that you are going to be part of the pre-show.
00:45:20.440 Tell us what you're doing.
00:45:21.040 I am, yeah.
00:45:21.620 So I'm really, really excited about this
00:45:23.280 because I'm going to get to talk to the students
00:45:25.500 and talk to the members of the GW, of the Turning Point chapter and stuff.
00:45:30.540 And I'm really excited to hear from these students
00:45:33.600 about what Charlie has meant to them
00:45:35.400 and give them the motivation, hear from them the inspiration they have to continue this mission.
00:45:42.780 And the same way Charlie poured into me and poured into so many others,
00:45:46.320 I think it will be incredible to hear some of those stories because that's what it's about
00:45:51.120 and making them feel like they are heard, that we will give them air time and we support them.
00:45:56.580 And so it's going to be really cool.
00:45:58.040 I'm going to be like in the lobby area doing all that.
00:46:03.520 So it's going to be really fun, Jack.
00:46:04.400 But you have a big part tonight. Tell us a little bit about that.
00:46:06.980 Well, yes, I'm sort of kicking things off.
00:46:10.320 So I think the way it works is that they'll have the National Anthem, of course.
00:46:14.380 We're going to do that.
00:46:15.360 And then I'm going to come out. I'm going to speak.
00:46:17.600 Then we're going to have the chapter president speak.
00:46:19.160 And then Caroline and Erica are going to do sort of a sit-down fireside chat.
00:46:24.960 So I'm going to come out, and I've got to tell you, people want me to get in on politics
00:46:30.320 and this division, that division.
00:46:32.300 But I got to tell you that all I can think about is is the fact that it's only Thursday.
00:46:36.880 And that's that's where my head's at.
00:46:39.820 And I think that that's where that's where I'm going to end up being tonight.
00:46:43.280 And to say that, you know, this isn't it's it's not about politicians and it's not about elections and it's not about those things.
00:46:54.100 It's about are we bringing people to the cross?
00:46:57.280 Benny Ray Harmony, thanks for being here with us, Human Events Daily.
00:47:01.680 And to all of you, we'll catch you later here live on Real America's Voice for This is the Turning Point this evening.
00:47:07.820 We'll see you very soon.
00:47:08.820 Ladies and gentlemen, as always, you have our permission to lay a short.
