This is what happens when the Fourth Turning meets 5th Generation Warfare. A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran, Jack Posobiec, joins host Jack to discuss the latest headlines in the news.
00:00:52.280Taking a live look at the big board right now.
00:00:54.700We are keeping watch on the markets as investors brace for long-awaited interest rate cuts.
00:00:59.400The Fed's next meeting is next week, and that's where they'll make a decision on interest rates.
00:01:05.180The recent weak jobs data is pointing to rate cuts.
00:01:09.600Ryan Routh is back in court for the first day of his federal trial.
00:01:13.420Today, he'll be working alongside prosecutors to find a jury who will determine his fate.
00:01:18.700This cashless bail started a wave in our country where a killer kills somebody and is out on the street by the afternoon, in many cases going out and killing again.
00:01:30.360The newly released video of the brutal murder of 23-year-old Irina Zarutska in Charlotte, North Carolina, igniting a political firestorm over crime and punishment.
00:01:39.840Critics zeroing in on the fact a judge had released the murder suspect, 34-year-old DeCarlos Brown Jr., on cashless bail when Brown was arrested back in January for misusing 911.
00:01:51.720The cashless bail was granted to Brown despite the fact he had an extensive and violent record with at least 14 prior arrests and years spent in and out of prison.
00:02:02.020Investigators say what should have been a peaceful Saturday morning walk at Kiesel Park turned into a brutal crime scene.
00:02:09.060On Monday, prosecutors confirmed they will seek the death penalty against the accused killer of Dr. Julie Schinelli.
00:02:16.18028-year-old Harold Rashad Dabney III is charged with two counts of capital murder, murder during a kidnapping, and murder during a robbery.
00:02:24.620Crime that has rocked Prince George's and Anne Arundel counties, the man charged in the death of a woman whose body was found right off of Route 50, remains held without bond tonight.
00:02:34.220Hugo Hernandez-Mendez made his first appearance in court today.
00:02:37.960This suspect was from Guatemala. According to court records, he worked for a Baltimore-based landscaping company.
00:02:44.480Prince George's officials say Hernandez-Mendez was in the United States illegally.
00:02:49.380U.S. Park Police arrested him for a DUI five months ago, but let him go.
00:02:53.580Caroline, one more question. On Thursday, President Trump will head to the Pentagon and also to New York City in honor of the 24th anniversary of 9-11.
00:03:01.940Has the President expressed any interest on creating or having congressmen create a new 9-11 commission to answer some of the ongoing questions many Americans have about that day?
00:03:13.000I, again, have not heard the President discuss that. You're welcome to ask him yourself.
00:03:16.560But I do know he very much looks forward to going to both the Pentagon and the Yankees game in New York City on Thursday to commemorate the 24th anniversary.
00:03:24.400As you know, the President is a New Yorker at heart. He loves the city very much. It is his home.
00:03:29.720And you'll hear more about that on Thursday when the President speaks on this himself.
00:04:42.780Is the Trump administration looking for the forthcoming prayer guidelines to challenge existing court precedent on the right to pray in public schools?
00:04:50.840Well, the President spoke about that yesterday and some of the changes we are making to ensure that the religious liberties of America's students and our youth are respected in public schools.
00:05:01.080In fact, he had a young student and invited him on stage to share his story about how when this young boy spoke about biological and biblical truth in his classroom,
00:05:10.400he faced consequences for that and how Americans of faith should not be facing consequences for expressing their religious freedom and their religious views.
00:05:19.460And not in any public school in America should that be happening.
00:05:22.420You heard the President talk about that yesterday.
00:05:26.200Regarding Israel attacking Doha, beside a phone call, what was President Trump's involvement in the attack, if anything?
00:05:32.460Look, I don't have anything more to read out for you on this other than the very lengthy and thorough statement that I have shared repeatedly now.
00:05:40.760After the Supreme Court ruling yesterday on the ICE raids in Los Angeles, some particularly non-white U.S. citizens are saying that they're going to begin carrying their U.S. passports with them at all times.
00:05:52.440What is the White House's response to Americans who are concerned about being swept up, as others have been already in these enforcement actions?
00:06:00.060They should not be concerned because this administration is focused on the detention and deportation of illegal alien criminals who broke our nation's immigration laws.
00:06:10.120And the Supreme Court upheld the Trump administration's right to stop individuals in Los Angeles to briefly question them regarding their legal status because the law allows this.
00:06:19.860And this has been the practice of the federal government for decades.
00:06:23.040And the Immigration and Nationality Act states that immigration officers can briefly stop an individual to question them about their immigration status if the officer has reasonable suspicion that the individual is illegally present in the United States.
00:06:37.400And reasonable suspicion is not just based on race.
00:06:39.780It's based on a totality of the circumstances to review.
00:06:43.400And I will tell you, I spoke to our border czar about this this morning.
00:06:46.240When ICE goes out to conduct a targeted operation to deport illegal criminals from our community, they are doing so with intelligence.
00:06:54.320They are doing so with law enforcement sources.
00:06:57.000They are doing so, in most cases, with the backing of local law enforcement who know exactly where these illegal alien criminals and drug traffickers and drug dealers are hiding in plain sight in American communities.
00:07:10.160And the men and women of ICE are doing everything they can to not only follow the law but to enforce the law.
00:07:16.260And it's about time that has happened because we had four years of an administration who completely ignored and evaded our nation's very clear administration immigration laws.
00:07:26.500And the Supreme Court has reaffirmed that.
00:07:29.820One of the other documents released by the House Oversight Committee contained a photo of Jeffrey Epstein holding an oversized check that was made out to him in the check from the President for $22,000 for a fully depreciated woman.
00:07:48.180I wondered if the President has any recollection of that or what you guys make of that photo that was included in those documents.
00:07:55.780Did you see the signature on that check?
00:08:15.140And does he think Curtis Lee was a serious candidate for New York City mayor?
00:08:18.220Look, the President has made it quite clear he wants this race to move forward in New York City.
00:08:22.900He does not want a communist to be running New York City.
00:08:25.600But as for weighing in on other individual candidates, I'll leave that to the President to do himself.
00:08:30.260And then following up on Reagan's question, you know, many of these highest crime cities in America, they're led by black mayors, including the three that you mentioned, Jackson, Memphis, Birmingham.
00:08:42.100So, given that, what's your response from the- to criticism from the left that Trump is targeting black mayors?
00:08:48.960Isn't he just trying to protect black people?
00:08:50.760The President is trying to protect all Americans from crime, and he wants to make all of our cities in America safe.
00:08:58.580And the fact is, the most dangerous cities in America are run by Democrats, overwhelmingly.
00:09:04.220And according to the FBI crime statistics, 19 of the top 20 cities with the highest murder rate are run by Democrats.
00:09:11.260And these high-crime Democrat-run cities are driving up the crime states- crime stats in otherwise safe, red states.
00:09:18.380So, of course, he wants to address this problem.
00:09:30.880I think the Speaker was referring to the fact that President Trump kicked Jeffrey Epstein out of his Mar-a-Lago property for reasons the President has already discussed.
00:10:07.380Girls going in boys' bathrooms on film, right?
00:10:11.600Two of the young fellas get suspended for complaining about it.
00:10:15.340Virginia Beach Man, an innocent man, is now died in a car crash by a drunk illegal going on the other side of the road.
00:10:27.900And now you've got Spanberger who's got these racist signs.
00:10:31.660When are we going to get the President to make an official endorsement of Winsome Sears and maybe come and campaign in South West Virginia?
00:10:41.560Well, as you know, I'm very limited in what I can talk about when it comes to political endorsements in future elections from this government podium.
00:10:49.820But all of the issues that you just mentioned I know are very important to the President, and it's quite common sense.
00:10:56.280It's the foundation of the Republican Party, and it's what sent this President back to the Oval Office.
00:11:01.460We want to keep men out of women's sports in bathrooms.
00:11:20.840On Doha, ahead of the strike we saw today, did the administration at any point try to dissuade the Israelis from the potential for an action like we saw today?
00:11:30.180Again, I have answered questions repeatedly on this.
00:11:33.040I have a very lengthy statement, which we will release after this briefing, for all of you to read and to report on once again.
00:11:37.980Okay, and then on a case in Maryland, the killing of Dakara Thompson, there are reports that the suspect arrested for her murder was in the country illegally and arrested and released for driving under the influence both in 2022 and in April of this year by U.S. Park Police.
00:11:55.540Is the administration looking into what process allowed this to take place?
00:12:00.500As soon as we saw this case, we ensured that the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice were on it, and I can assure you that they are.
00:12:07.180This is another heinous act of violence against someone who should have never been in our country illegally in the first place, and that's exactly why the deportation of illegal criminals from our country is a top priority for this administration, and it's something that is happening every single day.
00:12:21.680And I would encourage all of you to continue to report on the very violent illegal alien criminals that we are deporting daily from American communities across the country.
00:12:31.820There will never, we will never understand how many lives have been saved by these efforts or how many lives would have been lost if not for this president and the administration's policy to deport illegal criminal aliens.
00:12:44.480I don't have any meetings for you to read out on that.
00:12:52.560Is the Trump administration considering a ban on transgender Americans owning guns?
00:12:59.760Is that something the president would support, even as we've seen some gun groups oppose the idea of it?
00:13:06.420I understand there were very preliminary, low-level discussions about this at the Department of Justice, and then sometimes those discussions are reported as fact.
00:13:14.640I'm not tracking any potential actions on this front, and I'll let the president weigh in on that.
00:13:19.840It's a policy decision, and it's far too early or would be premature, inappropriate for me to weigh in on it at this point in time.
00:13:29.140After the immigration raid at the plant in Georgia on Friday, the president said over the weekend that he's open to some kind of changes in perhaps rules or visa rules or law
00:13:40.700that would prevent something like that happening in the future for skilled workers to train American workers.
00:13:46.960Can you confirm that and that the administration supports those changes, and what exactly would that look like?
00:13:51.680Well, the president said it himself in a statement that he put out on Sunday night, where he is very grateful for foreign companies from around the world
00:14:00.440and the investments that they are making right here in the United States of America.
00:14:04.300And he understands that these companies want to bring their highly skilled and trained workers with them, especially when they're creating very niche products like chips,
00:14:13.520or in this point, in this case, in Georgia, like batteries.
00:14:16.880But the president also expects these foreign companies to hire American workers and for these foreign workers and American workers to work together to train and to teach one another.
00:14:26.820And so he expects these foreign companies to hire American labor. We want Americans to have these jobs. We want Americans need these jobs.
00:14:34.680But he also understands the need for these companies to bring over their workers who already have these skills.
00:14:39.940Can you shine a light on what those changes might mean?
00:14:41.320I think it's a very nuanced and responsible and sensible approach for the president to take.
00:14:46.100And I know that the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Commerce are working on this matter together.
00:14:50.460I would defer you to them for any further action on this front.
00:14:53.820Caroline, thank you. Just I want to follow up on something you said.
00:14:57.920You said the Epstein documents are a hoax that Democrats are perpetrating against the president.
00:15:02.640You've said he didn't sign that check, that he didn't sign the birthday card that he allegedly signed.
00:15:08.600So what is the theory since these documents came from the Epstein estate?
00:15:11.840Who is, I guess, in your view, faking these documents?
00:15:14.880I did not say the documents are a hoax.
00:15:17.180I said the entire narrative surrounding Jeffrey Epstein right now that is absorbing many of the liberal cable channels on television is a hoax that is being perpetuated by opportunistic Democrats like Ro Khanna and the others whom you saw on that press conference outside of Capitol Hill who are trying to push this hoax against the president of the United States.
00:15:42.740The hoax is the Democrats pretending to care about victims of crime when they do not care about victims of crime, when they have done nothing to solve crimes, when they have done nothing to lock up child pedophiles and child rapists across the country.
00:15:54.740And when they are now using victims as political props to try and, again, smear the president of the United States and drag on this bad story about him.
00:16:04.720The Democrats view this story as nothing more than an attempt to distract from the accomplishments and the achievements of this administration.
00:16:12.000And that is what we mean when we call it a hoax.
00:16:14.500If he didn't sign these, if you said he didn't sign the birthday card, he didn't do this, he also didn't do the check, those were in documents from the estates.
00:16:21.480So what is the working theory as to why he's in that?
00:16:24.480The president has one of the most famous signatures in the world, and he has for many, many years.
00:16:28.680You know that, Maggie, you've covered him for a long time, long before he assumed this office when he was a businessman in New York.
00:16:34.220The president did not write that letter.
00:16:46.700Is the president planning to meet with Eric Adams in New York, maybe at the Yankees game?
00:16:51.480And has he personally talked to him about the race?
00:16:54.040I am not tracking any meeting with Mayor Adams at this time, but if that happens, I'm sure the New York Post will be one of the first people to know about it.
00:17:10.980Regarding the U.S. military, the growing U.S. military presence in the Caribbean, when asked directly about possible future military action, President Trump responded.
00:17:19.440You're going to find out what could the U.S. public expect of that situation moving forward, and what sort of ongoing threat is Trendy or Agra?
00:17:26.520I think it would be very unwise of me to preview what the president meant from this podium.
00:17:31.880But I think with the heart of what the president was saying, I know with the heart of what the president was saying in this administration believes,
00:17:37.100is that the regime in Venezuela is illegitimate, and it is unacceptable to this president and this administration to traffic illegal, deadly drugs into the United States of America.
00:17:48.080And that's why the president and the administration took very strong action against a boat and 11 narco-terrorists in international waters, as you all saw.
00:17:57.100I think that sends a very strong message to drug traffickers around the world.
00:18:00.800The president will not tolerate it, and the amount of drugs on that boat represents the lives of thousands of Americans that could have been killed by that deadly poison,
00:18:09.100and we're not going to allow that deadly poison to come into our country.
00:18:12.480The president will be signing a proclamation in the Oval Office later this afternoon, and we will see you all later.
