00:00:39.740 A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran.
00:00:46.420 This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.
00:00:49.560 Christ is king.
00:00:50.580 Supreme Court is halting a federal judge's ruling, requiring several federal agencies to reinstate thousands of workers.
00:00:56.740 The acting IRS commissioner now resigning after a controversial deal to share immigrant tax data with immigration and customs enforcement.
00:01:04.920 China has raised tariffs to now 84% on goods coming from the U.S. in an additional countermeasure.
00:01:12.080 I think it's unfortunate that the Chinese actually don't want to come and negotiate because they are the worst offenders in the international trading system. 1.00
00:01:22.100 They have the most imbalanced economy in the history of the modern world.
00:01:26.340 Right now, China's paying a 104% tariff.
00:01:31.020 Think of it, 104%.
00:01:32.880 Now, it sounds ridiculous, but they charged us for many items, 100%, 125%.
00:01:41.040 Many countries have.
00:01:42.300 They've ripped us off left and right.
00:01:44.880 But now it's our turn to do the ripping.
00:01:48.560 104% tariffs in China are not enough.
00:01:51.460 I'm advocating 400%.
00:01:53.520 I do business in China.
00:01:55.920 They don't play by the rules.
00:01:57.160 They've been in the WTO for decades.
00:01:59.160 They have never abided by any of the rules they agreed to when they came in for decades.
00:02:03.640 They cheat.
00:02:04.240 They steal.
00:02:04.820 They steal IP.
00:02:05.700 I can't litigate in their courts.
00:02:07.680 They take product, technology.
00:02:10.060 They steal it.
00:02:11.060 They manufacture it and sell it back here.
00:02:14.440 Never has an administration...
00:02:15.240 Can Americans withstand 400% tariffs?
00:02:17.280 What would that look like?
00:02:18.220 She, on an airplane to Washington, to level the playing field.
00:02:23.680 Well, well, well.
00:02:26.140 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard.
00:02:28.620 Today's edition of Human Events Daily.
00:02:31.780 Today is April 9th, 2025.
00:02:35.480 Anno Domini.
00:02:37.100 President Trump just taught the entire world the art of the deal.
00:02:44.600 In fact, the art of the great deal.
00:02:47.740 What did he tell you?
00:02:49.380 What did he tell you this morning?
00:02:51.020 He tweeted out.
00:02:51.760 He put it up on Truth.
00:02:53.440 Now would be a good time to buy.
00:02:55.380 And as we sit, 2 p.m. Eastern, on the eastern coast of the American Republic, President Trump
00:03:02.480 has just stated there will be a 90-day pause for every country on the reciprocal tariffs.
00:03:09.400 We keep the 10%. 0.98
00:03:10.380 But China, which was the only country that chose to retaliate, is now getting their tariffs
00:03:18.920 up, increased to 125%.
00:03:24.300 You hear that, China?
00:03:25.960 You hear that, Beijing?
00:03:27.440 You hear that, Chairman Xi?
00:03:29.540 You are going to get your tariffs placed on you harder and faster than ever before.
00:03:37.460 We can get that truth back up, guys, because I want people to see this.
00:03:41.420 I want President Trump's truth to ring around the entire world.
00:03:48.240 Do you see what just happened?
00:03:50.820 Markets are now having a historic rally, and we get to keep the 125% tariffs on China, plus
00:03:58.840 10% on the rest of the world.
00:04:02.740 The greatest dealmaker to ever live.
00:04:06.200 He wrote the entire book on it, and nobody wanted to listen.
00:04:11.420 Now, some of you look really stupid right now.
00:04:15.000 All the panikins out there, you look dumb. 1.00
00:04:18.020 You just, like, how many times does he have to do stuff like this before you're ever going
00:04:22.620 to understand what's happening?
00:04:25.180 The reciprocal tariffs were meant to get people to move, and it was also a test.
00:04:30.880 Who was the only country that failed that test?
00:04:33.160 Oh, it was China. 0.98
00:04:34.460 And guess what?
00:04:35.200 Not only did they fail, they failed that test in front of the entire world.
00:04:41.420 The entire planet.
00:04:43.740 So, now, you have the entire world with President Trump and the United States in the lead, focused
00:04:50.840 squarely on China.
00:04:54.420 Do you get it?
00:04:55.660 Do you even understand what's happening?
00:04:57.420 The markets are rallying.
00:04:58.660 Dow's up 2,000 points.
00:05:00.240 Oh, no.
00:05:00.960 He told you by this morning, folks.
00:05:02.580 He told you by this morning, if you didn't listen, that is on you.
00:05:08.060 It's a bad day to be a panikin' in the new American republic. 1.00
00:05:13.640 Human Events Daily continues.
00:05:14.540 To understand what America first truly means.
00:05:21.160 Welcome to the second American revolution.
00:05:28.220 All right, Jack Posoba, here we are back live.
00:05:30.280 Human Events Daily, Real America's Voice.
00:05:32.680 Want to also welcome in the third hour of the Charlie Kirk Show on the Salem Radio Network.
00:05:38.460 And as we see this, President Trump just taught the entire world the art of the deal, and in
00:05:42.580 fact, the art of the great deal.
00:05:44.640 But what else is going on?
00:05:45.580 Because we know that Trump is fully in the process of draining the swamp.
00:05:49.200 But the uncertainty for many is, will he expose the entire pandemic?
00:05:54.060 Well, there's enough evidence out there in the public already for folks to be concerned
00:05:57.840 who may have injected themselves with this experiment.
00:06:00.640 If you were forced to get the shot to work, to travel, or maybe just trusted the system back
00:06:05.360 then, check out this natural solution formulated by Dr. Peter McCullough in collaboration with
00:06:10.980 the wellness company.
00:06:11.780 Let's not forget who's responsible for the pandemic, by the way.
00:06:15.300 That's also China.
00:06:16.840 So the wellness company just leveled up their original detox formula for $30 less.
00:06:21.380 We're introducing the three-in-one Ultimate Spike Detox, conveniently consolidated into one
00:06:27.600 capsule with four times more naticanase, 500 milligrams of bromelain, and 500 milligrams
00:06:34.180 of turmeric root extract.
00:06:36.120 The naticanase is an enzyme researched for its anti-clotting effects and may work to actually
00:06:42.260 break down spike proteins.
00:06:44.000 Now, you combine that with bromelain and curcumin, it provides a potent blend for detoxification
00:06:49.220 and cellular support.
00:06:50.480 This is crafted with 100% natural ingredients, Ultimate Spike Detox.
00:06:55.840 It's backed by research.
00:06:57.120 It offers effective support for your cells' natural repair and recovery.
00:07:01.160 Experience the only formula approved and used by Dr. Peter McCullough, a top freedom-fighting
00:07:06.440 doctor who risked it all.
00:07:08.440 Head to TWC.Health slash POSO and use promo code POSO to get 10% off plus free shipping.
00:07:14.280 Again, that's TWC.Health slash POSO and use promo code POSO to get 10% off.
00:07:20.780 Get back to that pre-COVID feeling.
00:07:23.980 All right, folks, we are looking in and we are locking in on all of the news.
00:07:28.880 This is breaking out.
00:07:30.060 U.S. markets are currently soaring.
00:07:31.780 The NASDAQ is up 10%.
00:07:33.220 This is the biggest jump in the NASDAQ since 2008.
00:07:38.040 We're seeing it right now.
00:07:40.200 Elon Musk is tweeting out his support.
00:07:42.320 Secretary Besant talking about how economic security is, of course, national security.
00:07:48.240 And guess what?
00:07:49.120 Guess what?
00:07:50.500 The 10% tariffs globally are still going to be in place.
00:07:55.700 They're still in place.
00:07:56.960 It's all going on, folks.
00:07:59.420 This is something that people could not see this.
00:08:02.360 People could not see this.
00:08:03.760 People were freaking out.
00:08:04.960 People were going, the sky is falling.
00:08:06.440 They were losing their minds when ultimately this was, and I was on War Room this morning,
00:08:09.980 this was all about China.
00:08:11.760 China was always the biggest malefactor here. 1.00
00:08:15.760 They were the biggest offender.
00:08:17.400 They were the worst one of all.
00:08:19.000 They were the one that was always going to be locked in on this.
00:08:21.720 And I posted a little thread on this last night on X where I was thinking about this
00:08:27.720 some more.
00:08:28.160 And then Kevin O'Leary had his thing this morning where he was talking about,
00:08:30.840 we've got to squeeze their heads against the wall.
00:08:33.040 It's simple.
00:08:34.480 They're cheating.
00:08:35.800 They're undercutting.
00:08:37.200 They're stealing IP.
00:08:38.780 But guess what?
00:08:40.420 They're doing that because they actually put their country first.
00:08:45.220 They actually do whatever they can.
00:08:48.680 And yes, it's cutthroat.
00:08:49.880 And yes, they'll use exploitative labor practices and all of these things. 1.00
00:08:52.900 They don't care because they are acting in the best interest in their mind from their
00:08:59.020 perspective of their country.
00:09:00.900 So when I lived in China, first I was there in 2006, spent time there between 2006-2008,
00:09:06.820 almost two years in total.
00:09:08.980 Learned Chinese Mandarin.
00:09:11.760 Traveled all throughout the country.
00:09:13.920 Traveled throughout Hong Kong.
00:09:15.000 Traveled throughout Taiwan.
00:09:17.240 Learned a lot.
00:09:17.980 But one thing that I also learned is that it's almost impossible to sell anything into China.
00:09:25.500 And we talked about the system of globalization here when we did the China Files a couple years
00:09:30.000 ago.
00:09:30.560 If you guys haven't done that, please go listen to the China Files.
00:09:33.160 Make sure you're checking that out.
00:09:34.380 And of course, the China Files was later turned into a chapter on the Unhuman Republic of China,
00:09:41.320 China, which is, I believe it's chapter eight or nine of Unhumans, the secret history of 1.00
00:09:47.280 communist revolutions and how to crush them.
00:09:49.360 And we talked about how globalization and the system of globalism was built on the bloody
00:09:54.600 squares, the bloody cobblestones of Tiananmen Square.
00:09:58.900 And that there was this idea that if we treated the CCP regime the same way the United States
00:10:04.120 and the world treated Russia after the invasion of Ukraine, had isolated them back on June 4th,
00:10:09.320 June 5th, 1989, the day after, and it said, hey, we're going to stop doing business with
00:10:13.580 you.
00:10:13.840 We're not going to inject you with any more of this liquidity of the foreign direct investment.
00:10:18.480 We are instead going to pull out.
00:10:19.960 We're going to end trade relations.
00:10:21.200 We're going to end everything with you until you apologize, et cetera.
00:10:24.820 It said, no, we didn't do that.
00:10:25.720 We didn't do that at all.
00:10:26.380 The deal was grant the Chinese Communist Party access to the Western capital markets in exchange
00:10:34.420 for Western IP and the use of the Chinese exploitative labor as the global workforce.
00:10:42.640 They turned China into the factory of the world. 1.00
00:10:45.840 This is between the elites.
00:10:47.260 U.S. elites and the Chinese Communist Party did this in secret.
00:10:50.940 And then they rolled out and said, oh, it's going to be most favored nation status.
00:10:54.200 And it's going to be the PNTR.
00:10:56.560 And we had Oren Kass on yesterday discussing this, how the permanent normal trade relations
00:11:00.720 between the U.S. and China, their accession to the World Trade Organization, the WTO, gave
00:11:05.520 them the ability to have access to all of these things.
00:11:10.420 And it was done on purpose to line their pockets while who got screwed over?
00:11:15.220 Americans.
00:11:16.160 It turned the steel belt into the rust belt.
00:11:18.580 It turned our manufacturing centers into rotted out pores that are flooded with fentanyl and
00:11:26.300 migrants.
00:11:27.020 Well, no more.
00:11:28.600 It's all coming screeching to a halt.
00:11:30.460 This has always been about China.
00:11:32.740 This isn't about tariffs anymore.
00:11:35.080 And we've got Secretary Scott Bessent now with an update.
00:11:37.800 I want to go to that immediately.
00:11:39.380 This was driven by the president's strategy.
00:11:41.780 He and I had a long talk on Sunday, and this was his strategy all along.
00:11:48.160 And you might even say that he goaded China into a bad position.
00:11:54.900 They responded.
00:11:56.200 They have shown themselves to the world to be the bad actors.
00:11:59.660 And we are willing to cooperate with our allies and with our trading partners who did not retaliate.
00:12:07.940 It wasn't a hard message.
00:12:09.820 Don't retaliate.
00:12:10.660 Things will turn out well.
00:12:12.280 So think about that.
00:12:13.300 What is Secretary Bessent saying there?
00:12:14.660 Secretary Bessent is explaining that of all the countries in the world, the one country
00:12:18.660 that retaliated in the way they did was China.
00:12:21.580 Not the European Union.
00:12:22.900 Certainly not our allies in Japan.
00:12:24.860 Not at which, I mean, no Bessent and the ambassador had dinner last night.
00:12:28.080 Not the South Koreans. 1.00
00:12:29.420 No.
00:12:29.880 And what's going on right now is the ASEAN meeting.
00:12:32.240 So the ASEAN meeting is taking place.
00:12:33.900 That's the Association of Southeastern Asian Nations.
00:12:37.520 Why does this matter?
00:12:38.320 Because ASEAN controls the South China Sea.
00:12:40.960 These are the nations that ring the South China Sea.
00:12:43.680 And any goods that come from China to get them to market, where do they have to go through?
00:12:48.860 They have to go through the South China Sea, down past Singapore, up through the Strait of Malacca,
00:12:53.540 through the Indian Ocean, into the Red Sea, past the Suez Canal, and then into Europe,
00:12:59.060 or the other way across the Pacific to America.
00:13:01.700 Why does this matter?
00:13:03.960 Xi Jinping is now going to the ASEAN meeting.
00:13:07.760 Xi Jinping is terrified of what's going to come out of the ASEAN meeting and the ASEAN dialogue.
00:13:14.840 He's never done this before.
00:13:16.260 Why is he doing it?
00:13:17.340 He's doing it because he realizes that for once, the Chinese Communist Party isn't going to get their way.
00:13:23.100 For once, the dragon is going to be defanged, and now the dragon has to actually talk.
00:13:30.060 And now the dragon has to actually figure out what they're going to do and try to get people on board.
00:13:35.780 Look, the yuan's in freefall, and it's been in freefall since yesterday.
00:13:39.280 And guess what?
00:13:39.880 It's only going to get worse.
00:13:42.300 So stay tuned.
00:13:43.040 Stay with us.
00:13:43.920 Kenny Cody is going to be next.
00:13:45.440 There's a lot of breaking news as we dig into this.
00:13:49.240 This is the great deal.
00:13:50.760 President Trump is giving you your country back.
00:13:54.500 Did you think it would be easy?
00:13:56.400 But did you also think, let me ask you this, did you also think that it wasn't going to come without any pain?
00:14:03.060 Yes, there will be some.
00:14:04.480 Because when you have to take your medicine, that's the short-term pain that goes towards the long-term gain.
00:14:12.800 We are restructuring the entire global economy.
00:14:17.720 And it's a simple question.
00:14:18.920 It's a simple question.
00:14:20.380 Will China play ball, or will China have to suffer the consequences? 0.78
00:14:26.040 CCP, the ball is in your court.
00:14:29.480 We'll be right back here at Human Events Daily.

00:16:35.580 All right, guys, do we have that photo of the Dow Jones Industrial?
00:16:38.740 Do we have that shot?
00:16:40.780 I think this is mostly accurate.
00:16:43.080 Look at that.
00:16:43.740 Look at that right there.
00:16:44.840 That's a one-finger salute to the Chinese Communist Party right there.
00:16:51.640 This thing is going up.
00:16:53.300 It's broken up.
00:16:54.420 As I look right now, it's up 2,500 points.
00:16:58.860 I have no idea if this is a record or how much of this for a one-day is.
00:17:08.160 But I do want to say, though, that people need to start understanding that President Trump isn't—
00:17:13.380 Do you think Donald Trump understands how the stock market works?
00:17:16.500 Just, guys, try to think a little bit here.
00:17:18.580 Someone who has been writing about this for a long time and understands it quite greatly is Kenny Cody.
00:17:24.420 He hails from Appalachia, but he's also the opinion editor of humanevents.com.
00:17:30.140 He joins us now.
00:17:30.720 Kenny, how are you doing?
00:17:32.200 And walk us through some of your analysis of what we've just seen over, really, the past 48 hours.
00:17:39.000 Just an amazing deal has been brought.
00:17:42.960 You know, it is now the world against China. 0.93
00:17:44.980 You know, Trump emphasized, and instead of the Secretary of Treasury, Scott Bessett emphasized,
00:17:49.220 that if you all do not retaliate, if countries do not retaliate with reciprocal tariffs on us,
00:17:54.760 that we're imposing on them with a 10 percent baseline, that things will work out and things will succeed.
00:18:00.380 And that obviously has happened with the NASDAQ, with the Dow, with the S&P 500.
00:18:05.620 You're seeing all those markets explode positively because they know, and investors know,
00:18:11.800 businesses know, corporations know, and these governments that are coming to the table to negotiate know
00:18:16.120 that China has abused America and the rest of the world for far too long. 0.61
00:18:20.360 We knew last night, whenever Trump announced that there was going to be 104 percent per tariffs put on China,
00:18:26.220 that something was going to happen that was going to be monumental within the next 48 hours or 24 hours.
00:18:31.800 And it has.
00:18:32.620 Now there's been a 90-day pause, emphasized by Scott Bessett, emphasized by many in Trump's cabinet and Trump himself,
00:18:39.460 that this was the negotiating strategy all along.
00:18:42.080 Anybody in their right mind who actually thinks that Trump caved on this, that he caved on tariffs, is so wrong,
00:18:49.440 and just like they've been about his entire political career.
00:18:52.100 Trump has brought every country in the world that we have trade negotiations with whatsoever to the table.
00:18:58.140 They have not retaliated, and now deals are going to be met to make a more fair trade for America worldwide.
00:19:04.240 And every country that has come to the table is going to retaliate against China.
00:19:09.040 And it's now America and the rest of the world and their trade partners against communist China.
00:19:13.940 And it's a huge win for America, a huge win for MAGA, and a huge win for President Trump.
00:19:18.880 I mean, people, I don't understand.
00:19:23.740 You know, it'll be almost 10 years.
00:19:25.960 It'll be 10 years in June since President Trump first came down the golden escalator.
00:19:30.420 So we are just two months away from the one-decade anniversary of President Trump's start of his political career.
00:19:38.640 And, Kenny, there are still people that haven't sat down and actually read the art of the deal yet.
00:19:43.920 They don't get that his opening bid is always designed to shock you so that he gets everyone talking about it.
00:19:52.780 And then he walks you back.
00:19:55.500 He creates that leverage.
00:19:56.860 He creates that leverage.
00:19:57.760 And that's why, by the way, he wasn't taking the calls.
00:20:00.160 That's why he wasn't reaching out to anyone.
00:20:01.960 He was saying no, no, no to everyone because he had to get to the point where everybody thought it was dead serious
00:20:08.300 and then move it back to what he actually wants.
00:20:12.260 If you want the lamppost, you ask for the moon.
00:20:15.860 This is the same strategy he's used again and again in business.
00:20:19.860 He wrote an entire book about it.
00:20:22.340 We're on with Kenny Cody, the independent editor of humanevents.com.
00:20:26.740 We'll be right back here with more on Human Events daily, Salem Radio Network, as well as Real America's Voice.
00:20:42.260 And Jack, where is Jack?
00:20:50.900 Where's Jack?
00:20:53.040 Where is he?
00:20:54.320 Jack, I want to see you.
00:20:57.960 Great job, Jack.
00:20:59.380 Thank you.

00:21:01.580 You know, we have an incredible thing.
00:21:02.980 We're always talking about the fake news and the bad.
00:21:05.040 But we have guys, and these are the guys who should be getting Pulisic.
00:21:10.540 All right, Jack, what's up?
00:21:11.500 We are back.
00:21:12.320 Human Events daily.
00:21:13.840 We are into the great deal.
00:21:17.380 President Trump, by the way, also at the White House, going to be meeting with some race champions.
00:21:22.400 We've got some NASCAR champs, Joey Logano's there, some IndyCar.
00:21:26.500 So we will be cutting to that on the Real America's Voice side when President Trump comes out.
00:21:33.120 But we're speaking with Human Events opinion editor Kenny Cody, and we're talking about how really all of this is and truly always was about China.
00:21:45.880 And this is something where, you know, guys, look, the first time I visited China was almost 20 years ago.
00:21:51.420 And I've been trying to, you know, learn more and more about this ever since.
00:21:58.820 And so I want to get into that quick message from our supporters first to show you how you can help us.

00:23:05.200 That's blackoutcoffee.com slash POSO.
00:23:07.760 So something I was talking about about this is, folks, when you look at all of these issues, the hollowing out of the middle of America, the destruction of our steel belt, our manufacturing base in America, the fentanyl, the border, all of the issues, one by one by one, what does it come back to?
00:23:26.940 It comes back to China. 0.71
00:23:28.660 And I was talking about this last night on X, and I said, look, this is something I've learned for a period of almost 20 years now, talking about this.
00:23:36.760 And President Trump has been talking about it for even longer.
00:23:39.960 And it's time, it's high time, finally, that we had a president who actually took the China question seriously.
00:23:50.000 Kenny Cody is our guest.
00:23:51.420 Kenny, tell us some more, and I'm just going to pull in some of the headlines as we go.
00:23:57.720 Tell us about what it means that we actually have a president who's putting middle America first.
00:24:05.040 Well, middle America has suffered from the constraints of China for far too long.
00:24:09.060 And we have factories and corporations that are sending businesses over there and outsourcing resources, outsourcing employment, outsourcing products that could be made here in this country.
00:24:18.760 That allowed China to become the number one superpower in the world when it comes to economics.
00:24:23.180 And for so long, we were the concentration.
00:24:25.820 We were the superpower.
00:24:26.480 Back in 2000, America was the one that was manufacturing all products here, whether it was the auto industry, whether it was the steel industry, whether it was the car industry, whatever it might be.
00:24:35.620 We had all of those jobs here.
00:24:38.100 But now China has become that one because they benefit from child slave labor. 0.99
00:24:42.700 They benefit from low costs.
00:24:44.520 And corporations have bought in that for so long because no executive would stand up and say, we need to make these things here.
00:24:50.140 We need to bring businesses back here and let America manufacture what we were always supposed to manufacture and give Americans jobs, give small businesses and corporations that are founded here the opportunity to employ Americans first. 0.93
00:25:05.100 And now we have seen the art of the deal really take place.
00:25:07.760 We've seen an extreme position created.
00:25:10.100 We've seen a compromise created.
00:25:12.120 We've seen statements be made that will control the narrative and shift the markets to a version of a panic.
00:25:19.640 And now everybody has came to the table.
00:25:21.960 All these other countries, the 50 plus countries, the 70 plus countries have all came to a compromise to not retaliate against America.
00:25:30.080 But yet the only retaliatory country that happened was China.
00:25:34.100 What Trump percent and so many others always thought would happen, that China would be the only one to say we have abused America for now and we're going to continue to abuse them.
00:25:43.840 And now America is paying it back in full and aligning with all their trade partners against the main enemy in the world that is the country of China and the Chinese Communist Party. 0.54
00:25:53.740 And now that that has happened, America will benefit America has executed the art of the deal, the markets will prosper, American companies and corporations will prosper, and the American worker will prosper.
00:26:05.760 It's amazing because, you know, this is one thing where, once again, we have the, you know, the sort of, you know, one movie on two screens situation.
00:26:19.540 So, you know, people are the panic and some of the panic and who and got, you know, God forbid, by the way, panic and are not welcome here on human events daily.
00:26:27.780 We don't serve you in this restaurant. You are not allowed to sit with us at the table for lunch. Panikins are not welcome. 1.00
00:26:36.260 No, this is a show that is made by patriots or patriots, and it's about patriots.
00:26:42.500 And so you look at some of this stuff and, you know, here's here's something up from, you know, a guy on Twitter.
00:26:47.880 It just says, look, Trump got exactly what he wanted all along.
00:26:51.180 The yuan has been massively devalued. China's economy is imploding and boxed in.
00:26:58.440 Countries are lining up to literally lining up to make new deals with the United States of America.
00:27:06.660 The GOP is now working on a new reconciliation bill that will allow for corporate tax cuts to become permanent, which will allow for what?
00:27:14.280 Why do you want the corporate tax cuts in right now? Because we want corporations building here in the United States of America. 0.86
00:27:20.480 You have to have an incentive for them to want to come in. And then finally, the 10 percent tariffs across the board.
00:27:26.640 Think of this. It's actually kind of funny. If Trump had just said we're going to do 10 percent tariffs across the board, everybody freaking out.
00:27:33.320 Right. But he doesn't do that. He says, no, we're going to reciprocal tariffs.
00:27:36.480 There's going to be this formula. It's going to be all this stuff.
00:27:38.260 And it's going to be, you know, this this nonsense, you know, this like this, like, you know, huge high number.
00:27:43.000 And then all of a sudden he goes, he leaves that for a couple of days and says, all right, how about just 10 percent?
00:27:47.700 Yeah. And everybody's cheering in the stock market goes up when people say, wait a minute.
00:27:53.140 Did Trump just raise tariffs on the entire country and got everyone to cheer for it at the same time?
00:27:57.880 Yeah, he did. And in the mean and in the middle, what did he do?
00:28:00.980 One hundred twenty five percent on China, plus exposed them to the entire world.
00:28:06.840 So you made a fatal error, Mr. Xi. You didn't trust the plan.
00:28:12.260 You panicked. You blinked. You bet against President Trump and you bet against America.
00:28:18.620 That wasn't a very wise idea. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:28:23.880 And this is something no one has ever dealt with China again in 20 years that I've been I've been traveling back and forth from China that I've been learning about China.
00:28:31.120 No one in the United States has ever dealt with them like this.
00:28:35.760 Kenny Cody, there's so many politicians who say they want to change the status quo.
00:28:41.740 We're actually seeing one who's done it.
00:28:45.900 Exactly. I mean, this he has followed through promises made promises kept.
00:28:50.320 And he's the only politician of my lifetime or in many different lifetimes that has followed through on everything.
00:28:55.980 He promised these tariffs. He has promised since 2012 to fight back against China and trade partners that were abusing the United States.
00:29:04.700 So I don't know why anybody is panicking or anybody is surprised that he's got what he wanted.
00:29:08.860 Anybody who has has ever watched Donald Trump operate in politics, business or anything else knows that in the end he sets out an extreme position.
00:29:18.380 He looks for a compromise and he comes to the deal that he wanted in the original in the first place.
00:29:22.780 And that has happened with keeping these 10 percent baseline tariffs, removing reciprocal tariffs and increasing it to a hundred and twenty five percent tariff on the war on America's number one economic enemy.
00:29:35.500 That is the Chinese Communist Party.
00:29:38.800 And another thing, the CCP has so much control over some of these countries that, you know, that they're they're relishing and celebrating it as well.
00:29:47.660 The fact that we have a hundred twenty five percent China on their biggest trade partner, that is the United States.
00:29:53.000 Some of these countries are literally funded by China or they move their companies or corporations.
00:29:57.680 Corporations found or have foundations in some of these smaller countries.
00:30:01.740 They are so relieved right now that not only are these reciprocal tariffs being lifted off of them, but they want to see somebody take China on because they know they can't. 0.71
00:30:11.240 And they are going to be more willing to bring jobs here.
00:30:14.260 They're going to be more willing to move for some corporations here to give American workers jobs and to have a better trade relationship because China finally has an enemy in the United States for the first time in nearly a quarter of a century.
00:30:26.840 And now they're going to be able to do that.
00:30:28.480 America is going to be put first. 0.96
00:30:29.620 The American worker will be put first. 1.00
00:30:31.160 And all these other countries that we have trade relationships will be salivating and celebrating along with President Trump.
00:30:37.900 Look, and that's why you have Kevin O'Leary out there going up and saying that we shouldn't have a hundred.
00:30:45.180 Kevin O'Leary, by the way, got his wish because he was saying we have one hundred four percent or one hundred four percent.
00:30:50.460 Yeah, one hundred four percent tariffs.
00:30:51.600 And he said, that's not enough.
00:30:52.900 He said, my problem in it, it should be higher.
00:30:54.700 He said, why not go to four hundred?
00:30:56.120 So President Trump said, all right.
00:30:57.460 He said, all right, Kevin, maybe not four hundred yet, but let's go to one twenty five.
00:31:01.640 Let's crank it up just a little bit.
00:31:03.480 We're going to crank it up a little bit.
00:31:04.920 And Kevin O'Leary said, he said, let's squeeze their heads against the wall because nobody's ever treated China.
00:31:12.340 I've talked about this.
00:31:13.800 People would go over there and you would have these leaders and they would say, oh, you know, China, it's so wonderful.
00:31:20.080 And we could have a system like that in the United States.
00:31:22.880 And a lot of covid-19 and a lot of the World Economic Forum, the great reset stuff that we saw was actually just a transfer of the China model and the China system to the United States.
00:31:33.200 And the idea was that, you know, we would have these these new policies and this new technocratic government.
00:31:39.260 And we were going to make China into the factory of the of the world. 0.99
00:31:42.440 And it was never true.
00:31:43.660 It was always a lie.
00:31:45.040 We became more like China. 0.97
00:31:46.800 They did not become more free.
00:31:48.420 They did not be become more like us.
00:31:50.480 They became they became the same way they were.
00:31:53.900 And they made us more authoritarian on top of it.
00:31:56.640 Last minute, Kenny Cody.
00:31:57.600 We need to be celebrating this win.
00:32:00.460 Not only can we be celebrating the stocks, the Nasdaq, the Dow, the S&P 500, but we need to be thankful that the world will now look to us as the one country that can fight back against the country that has controlled all of these smaller nations for so long.
00:32:15.340 America has the power.
00:32:16.760 America has the compromise.
00:32:17.720 And we have a executive that is finally going to fight back against the Chinese Communist Party that has deserved backlash for so long.
00:32:26.620 And I'm so glad that this has worked out.
00:32:28.440 And we told you so.
00:32:31.100 We told you so.
00:32:32.760 Go follow Kenny Cody.
00:32:34.500 It's Kenny Cody TN up on X.
00:32:37.580 And go follow his writing up at humanevents.com.
00:32:40.820 And, folks, you know, look, look, I've been talking about China for a long time and traveling to China for a long time, visited the Great Wall of China.
00:32:49.240 I have visited the the Forbidden Kingdom, you know, Forbidden City, rather, as in the movie Forbidden Kingdom.
00:32:55.320 You know, there's there you go.
00:32:56.740 There's Poso almost 20 years ago.
00:33:00.560 So right there at the Great Wall of China, giving them, you know, giving them a thing or two, a thing or three.
00:33:09.520 And, you know, I got some other photos, I'm sure, from China, somewhere around this one.
00:33:14.260 This is the one that I just pulled.
00:33:15.920 It was on like an old Facebook account.
00:33:17.800 And I got it up.
00:33:18.580 So, yeah, there's me.
00:33:19.420 That would have been about.
00:33:20.300 Yeah, that was 2006.
00:33:21.620 There's the Forbidden City.
00:33:22.680 I'm doing the, got my Temple University red shirt on there, repping Temple University over in the Forbidden City, right in Beijing.
00:33:32.600 Xi Jinping up in your grill.
00:33:35.680 All right, Human Events Daily.
00:33:36.700 We will be right back.
00:33:37.760 We're talking Narnia a little bit, another far off land.
00:33:49.960 Jack is a great guy.
00:33:51.480 He's written that fantastic book.
00:33:53.200 Everybody's talking about it.
00:33:54.460 Go get it.
00:33:55.580 And he's been my friend right from the beginning of this whole beautiful event.
00:33:59.560 And we're going to turn it around and make our country quite a good deal.
00:34:02.820 Amen.
00:34:04.780 Aslan is on the move.
00:34:10.540 For Narnia and for Aslan! 0.97
00:34:13.960 Narnia was never right, except when a son of Adam was king. 0.95
00:34:23.220 He's a Telmarine. 0.90
00:34:24.340 Why would we want him as our king?
00:34:26.680 Because I can help you.
00:34:27.880 Beyond these woods, I'm a prince.
00:34:35.600 The Telmarine throne is rightfully mine. 0.99
00:34:38.500 Help me claim it.
00:34:40.380 And I can bring peace between us.
00:34:41.980 You have grown up, my dear one.

00:35:03.680 All right, Jack Posobiec.
00:35:05.060 Here we are back live.
00:35:06.060 Human Events daily final segment.
00:35:08.120 So, folks know that, you know, I've been talking about this for years, really, on social media and others.
00:35:14.580 But Narnia, the new Netflix adaptation, has just been announced.
00:35:19.400 And there are very disturbing reports circulating in the trades, circulating online,
00:35:25.000 that Netflix is in discussions with Meryl Streep for their new Narnia adaptation,
00:35:33.960 not to play the role of, say, the White Witch or Mrs. Beaver or, you know, one of these, you know,
00:35:40.260 prominent female characters in Narnia.
00:35:42.720 But no, they want to make her Aslan, as in Aslan, the Lion King of Narnia,
00:35:51.460 the son of the Emperor from across the sea.
00:35:55.000 And who many people realize, of course, is a stand-in for Jesus Christ.
00:36:00.780 Now, the question, of course, is why would the C.S. Lewis estate allow something like this to take place?
00:36:08.000 Well, to discuss this and more with us, we have Olivia Kralchik on.
00:36:12.280 She's from the Riley Gaines Center.
00:36:14.520 She's someone who's been absolutely outspoken on it.
00:36:17.380 Olivia, how did you react when you first heard this news?
00:36:22.780 And from everything we're hearing, it seems like it's confirmed.
00:36:26.460 As a Catholic, my mind is absolutely blown that they would try to ruin Narnia. 1.00
00:36:31.580 C.S. Lewis was a devout Catholic, and it's obvious that Aslan was a, you know,
00:36:35.880 a representation of Jesus Christ in these movies.
00:36:38.240 So it's really a shame that Hollywood is, well, they're already digging themselves a deeper and deeper hole every single day.
00:36:43.200 We saw with Snow White, but the fact that they're going to try and ruin Narnia, it's a shame.
00:36:48.440 And quite honestly, it's disgusting that they're going to, you know, take away the faith from the movie.
00:36:52.660 No, as for a devout Christian, I think it was Anglican.
00:36:57.180 I don't know if he actually converted over to Catholicism.
00:36:59.920 I know Tolkien was Catholic, but just even again, as devout Christian, someone who clearly had a male lion as the center of the story.
00:37:09.180 Again, Aslan has his mane cut off at one part of the story.
00:37:13.860 So it's like you actually need it to be a male lion or else the story doesn't even work because a female lion can't get her mane cut off.
00:37:23.120 Because for the biology fans out there, female lions don't have manes. 1.00
00:37:28.100 Like you could literally just, I don't know, watch Lion King and maybe understand that.
00:37:31.140 But there's a deeper question.
00:37:33.500 And Olivia, why is it that it seems like whenever there's a beloved story like this, they have to go in and make some change like this?
00:37:43.560 Do you think Netflix has some kind of requirement where this is done?
00:37:47.140 Or do they do it because they actually have this deep-seated belief that they want to degrade and subvert all things within Western civilization?
00:37:57.660 Honestly, I think it's a little bit of both.
00:37:59.500 I think that Hollywood, well, I think Satan moving through Hollywood very quickly, but also there's probably money behind it.
00:38:05.720 And we've seen the DEI quotas across schools and businesses across the nation.
00:38:09.200 And there's no doubt that DEI quotas to some extent are infiltrating Hollywood as well.
00:38:14.340 So, of course, they have to modernize movies and completely ruin it.
00:38:18.140 But going back to Revelations 5.5, we see the biblical description of Jesus Christ is Lion of Judah, a male with divine power.
00:38:25.800 And we see that with Aslan in Narnia, but we're not going to see that if they cast a female to play his role.
00:38:31.460 No, exactly not.
00:38:34.220 And, you know, it's amazing because I actually just finished reading the—we read the entire series with my oldest son.
00:38:40.220 He's six years old.
00:38:41.220 He'll be seven in a month.
00:38:42.160 And we just finished the last book of Narnia, the last battle, where, in fact, the whole thing turns into this final battle of Narnia because of a false Aslan.
00:38:54.400 It's literally the plot of the books that everything goes crazy.
00:38:58.800 And, you know, I'll just say it, they end up accidentally summoning a demon who starts, like, devouring all of Narnia because they use a false Aslan. 0.94
00:39:10.880 It's like, did they even read the book series that they're making?
00:39:14.540 I was going to say, they probably haven't even read the books or watched the movies at that, and it's really sad because Narnia has a very, very large conservative and Christian fan base.
00:39:25.660 And quite honestly, making a mockery of this faith by, you know, removing the male figure, that's, you know, the whole plot of the story, it's going to lose the fan base and the movie is 100% going to flop.
00:39:35.400 No, I think what they're doing on Netflix, it's disgusting.
00:39:39.580 I think we need to turn this into the next Snow White.
00:39:42.120 But who knows?
00:39:43.240 You know, hopefully, maybe I'm being naive a little bit, but I do have hope that perhaps, perhaps, if there's enough of a backlash now that people can finally, or maybe the estate will get involved, and I've been tweeting at them, like, every day to put, you know, put the brakes on this and say it can't happen.
00:40:01.060 Olivia, where can people go to follow you and get more of your hot takes? 0.88
00:40:04.000 Of course, they can find me at Olivia Kralchuk on Twitter or Instagram.
00:40:08.620 It's K-R-O-L-S-C-Z-Y-K or at the RileyGainesCenter.org. 0.99
00:40:13.180 Olivia Kralchuk, go give her a follow, folks. 1.00
00:40:15.660 She's an ambassador over at the great Riley Gaines Center.
00:40:19.620 Big day, big day in the battle, but of course, there's a lot of work to do.
00:40:24.200 The war continues.
00:40:25.900 Ladies and gentlemen, as always, you have my permission to lay ashore.
00:40:34.000 We'll see you then.
00:40:55.340 We'll be right back.
