00:00:50.380 This is what happens when the fourth turning meets fifth generation warfare.

00:00:56.660 A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran.

00:01:06.040 This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.

00:01:09.120 Christ is king.

00:01:10.680 You know, the focus of the cabinet meeting was really about Labor Day and the fact that

00:01:16.100 every one of President Trump's policies is benefiting Americans.

00:01:19.940 That not only are they safer, is crime getting under control, are we deporting illegal criminals

00:01:25.380 and bringing them to justice, but also the economy is getting better.

00:01:28.860 People are making more in wages, that they're having the ability to provide for their families better.

00:01:33.660 So the statistics were just astounding, what President Trump has been able to deliver for

00:01:38.260 just the American people and the average worker each and every day.

00:01:41.780 It's pretty great to celebrate Labor Day with a builder who loves labor, who loves the men

00:01:48.280 and women who built this country. 0.97

00:01:49.520 The people that sweat, that have great skills, they have grit.

00:01:56.080 They do the dirty jobs of America that have made this country great.

00:01:58.600 And you know them very well because you have worked with them.

00:02:00.900 The great Trump projects have come from the very men and women we're going into this weekend

00:02:05.080 to celebrate.

00:02:05.940 Well, Mr. President, first of all, everyone's made this comment already and needs to be echoed.

00:02:09.300 Again, you were elected as the president of Working Americans.

00:02:12.080 And that's why this Labor Day is so meaningful.

00:02:14.440 For me personally, this is the most meaningful Labor Day of my life as someone with four jobs.

00:02:18.540 And so...

00:02:19.280 It's true.

00:02:23.960 It's true.

00:02:24.520 It's true.

00:02:25.160 As we move toward Labor Day, you have made a lot of dreams come true for a lot of people.

00:02:31.940 But one of my longtime dreams was for the right to recapture Labor Day.

00:02:37.920 And I've been talking about this for almost 20 years and writing about it.

00:02:40.860 That why are we ceding the day that we are celebrating the American worker to the Democrats?

00:02:47.160 Because this is our day.

00:02:48.900 Perhaps of any day of the entire year, this is our day.

00:02:53.640 America was founded and fought for by fishermen and farmers and workmen and et cetera.

00:03:01.420 The Genesis, the first book of the Bible, talks about the righteousness of work and the art of creation.

00:03:08.380 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's special White House edition of Human Events Daily.

00:03:15.820 That's right.

00:03:16.180 Today we're doing a White House special.

00:03:18.560 Not just doing the show from here on the grounds of the White House, but we're going to tell you about that.

00:03:23.860 We are going to be speaking to top members of the administration, including the director of ICE.

00:03:29.820 So we're really going to be digging into what the administration is doing, how the administration is prosecuting the many problems facing our country and what progress is being made on a number of fronts, whether it be national security, whether it be immigration, whether it be the domestic front with economy.

00:03:46.300 We have got it all here in this White House special.

00:03:50.240 And you can see we're actually standing.

00:03:52.000 I am physically standing on the White House lawn itself.

00:03:55.380 This is the south lawn of the White House.

00:03:58.600 And directly behind me, by the way, you can actually see the area.

00:04:02.460 This is where the White House new ballroom is going to be.

00:04:07.340 Now, I'm not sure exactly how far out it will extend, but it's this area basically roped off here.

00:04:12.680 And in fact, you can see some of the work that's down on the ground of that area.

00:04:17.980 That could be work already the very early stages of laying out the floor plan of President Trump's White House ballroom.

00:04:26.520 Also right above me here.

00:04:28.800 Can you see this in the shot?

00:04:29.860 Can they see this?

00:04:30.680 This flag, this beautiful flag that we have in the shot.

00:04:34.100 This flag is absolutely enormous.

00:04:37.020 This is brand new.

00:04:38.760 President Trump just put it here.

00:04:39.960 There's another one.

00:04:40.960 And it's twin sister on the front lawn, the north lawn of the White House.

00:04:46.720 And it's amazing to me that this is something that didn't exist before.

00:04:52.040 Can you believe that we didn't have a massive, beautiful, old glory and a pair of them here at the White House?

00:05:00.100 And so just to give you a little bit of the lay of the land, we've got the portico of the White House here.

00:05:03.920 This is the balcony that's just above and then directly behind where I'm basically looking directly at.

00:05:09.460 That is the Oval Office.

00:05:11.260 So we are just steps away right here from President Trump's Oval Office.

00:05:16.160 The room where it all happens.

00:05:18.360 The room where it all goes down.

00:05:20.840 Where the decisions are being made to make America great again.

00:05:25.040 Now, through the course of this episode, you're going to hear a little bit of construction.

00:05:28.200 You're going to hear a little bit of renovation because, as we know, President Trump is doing a lot of work to restore this White House.

00:05:34.800 He is doing a lot of work to even add to this White House.

00:05:37.500 So I'm being told right now that this lawn is currently being worked on because they're adding in a drainage system, something that was not done before.

00:05:46.080 Also, they added a patio area to the Rose Garden, a place where it had been very muddy.

00:05:51.360 It had been very soggy.

00:05:52.820 It was a place where they're trying to hold events.

00:05:54.480 They're trying to bring in dignitaries, world leaders, diplomats.

00:05:57.780 And there are people getting their stiletto high heels and their leather shoes stuck in the mud.

00:06:02.980 So that's something that President Trump is very cognizant of.

00:06:06.280 Of course, ever the host, ever the builder.

00:06:08.800 So this is a working White House, both inside and out.

00:06:12.200 So you're going to hear some of that as we go.

00:06:14.460 It's going to be trucks going around.

00:06:16.160 You're going to hear hammers being swung.

00:06:18.300 You're going to hear nails being pounded.

00:06:20.340 You're going to hear dirt being torn up.

00:06:22.340 And that's all being done to make the White House even better.

00:06:26.720 Because if you look at what's happening to Washington, D.C., all around us, that's exactly what President Trump is doing.

00:06:32.120 He's putting the best aesthetics first, the best image first.

00:06:37.220 That's why he's reducing crime.

00:06:38.920 That's why Stephen Miller is going after the graffiti.

00:06:41.200 That's why they're putting more National Guardsmen out on the city streets.

00:06:46.960 Why?

00:06:47.680 To keep our nation's capital clean, beautiful, and pristine.

00:06:53.680 And that's exactly what it should be.

00:06:55.600 A shining city as an example to the world of the best America has.

00:07:00.840 And when the world comes to the capital of our great nation, they should see one of the greatest capital cities on the face of the earth.

00:07:09.540 In fact, it is a reflection of our country, just like our beautiful flag, which we should protect from burning at all costs, is a reflection of the people of this nation.

00:07:20.480 We'll be right back, Jack Posobiec, the Human Events White House special.

00:07:23.740 Stand in our way, and our golden age has just begun.

00:07:29.300 This is Human Events with Jack Posobiec.

00:07:31.080 Now it's time for everyone to understand what America First truly means.

00:07:35.740 Welcome to the second American revolution.

00:07:40.160 All right, Jack Posobiec here, Human Events Daily.

00:07:45.300 We're here on the south lawn of the White House, very honored to be, I would say, sitting down, but we're standing.

00:07:52.280 So we're meeting with the Director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ICE, Todd Lyons.

00:07:58.200 Todd, thank you so much for being here.

00:07:59.440 No, thank you.

00:07:59.980 I really appreciate the invite and having the opportunity to speak on the great work men and women of ICE are doing.

00:08:04.920 Well, look, I mean, it goes without saying that, but on behalf of the Human Events audience, the Real America's Voice Network, we just want to say thank you to the men and women of ICE.

00:08:14.860 I've done some work going around to see some of the border stations with Secretary Noem since she's come in.

00:08:20.420 Certainly, if there's ever anything we can do to help give you guys more coverage, this is a mission that our audience is behind 100%.

00:08:28.460 No, and that's great.

00:08:29.480 We do feel the support.

00:08:31.840 I'm very proud of the fact that ICE is doing great work in the community.

00:08:35.640 Despite a lot of the rhetoric you hear coming at the mission we're doing right now, but we're dedicated to our law enforcement mission.

00:08:43.500 And, you know, under this administration, under Secretary Noem, under President Trump, we're allowed to do our law enforcement mission again.

00:08:49.420 And that's what I want the American people to see.

00:08:51.080 I want them to see what the men and women of ICE go out every day and bravely do, getting the worst of the worst out of our neighborhoods.

00:08:57.100 And this is something that's so clear because the neighborhoods that you go into, we keep hearing this narrative from the media that ICE is intimidating these neighborhoods or that ICE is somehow creating problems in the community.

00:09:10.900 They like to stir up stories like this Kilmar Garcia story.

00:09:14.300 Yet at the same time, the people that you're getting rid of, they're the ones causing problems in those communities because they are the ones time and time again.

00:09:22.740 Whenever we see these rap sheets, we see what they have been doing and we see that many times you guys already have the derogatory information.

00:09:29.040 You know what these guys have been up to and you're liberating those communities.

00:09:33.000 You're making those communities safer for the families, the children, the moms and dads, the older people who live there.

00:09:39.100 You know, and it's not even U.S. citizens that these criminal aliens go back and prey upon. 0.52

00:09:43.500 The whole narrative of sanctuary jurisdictions makes it unsafe for the migrant community as well, because there's this fear that if you call 9-1-1, if you report a crime, you're going to be deported.

00:09:53.460 That's not the case.

00:09:54.660 And when these sanctuary jurisdictions release these criminal aliens, these people that they already found to be a danger, that they've already arrested and locked up, when they don't work with ICE, we have to send more agents into the community.

00:10:08.080 We would love to go to a police station, a local jail, one or two agents, and take custody of these criminal aliens and get them out of the country.

00:10:17.580 But instead, sanctuary jurisdictions allow these criminal immigrants, these predators, to go back out and commit more crime. 1.00

00:10:24.420 And that's what ICE is dedicated to.

00:10:25.960 We're not going to allow these criminal aliens, these known suspected terrorists or these gang members, go out and hurt another American citizen or anyone here in the country.

00:10:33.780 Well, I mean, I can speak from experience.

00:10:36.400 My hometown, Narsan, Pennsylvania, became essentially a sanctuary city, started all the way back in the 2000s.

00:10:42.380 And I've seen how it destroys communities.

00:10:45.360 It absolutely guts them.

00:10:46.940 People who are in good families, they want to get out because, and, you know, who wants the kids around that?

00:10:52.980 And it just, it brings an element that is criminal.

00:10:57.380 And then, unfortunately, you've got people, they might be in poverty for various reasons, and now they're stuck there.

00:11:02.820 Now that criminal element is preying upon those people that are in poverty.

00:11:06.640 And you've just got this downward spiral.

00:11:09.100 And you see this happen in sanctuary city after sanctuary city.

00:11:12.120 When it comes to those situations, and let's talk about sanctuary cities, for example, that, do you find that it's more the police, do they want to help ICE, or is it the politicians that are coming in and just putting the block in?

00:11:25.420 No, the local law enforcement wants to help ICE, right?

00:11:28.600 But it's, you know, what's very disheartening for us is when local elected officials put fear into another law enforcement agency of discipline or termination for working with another federal agency. 0.87

00:11:39.120 For us, it's hard for us to even comprehend when an elected official wants to go to bat or try to defend an MSD gang member, a child predator rapist.

00:11:50.520 Why would that person want to be in the community?

00:11:52.780 I don't know how that fits into anyone's political narrative because it's not a politics issue.

00:11:57.800 It's a public safety issue.

00:11:59.240 And that's the biggest concern for us.

00:12:01.060 I couldn't agree more.

00:12:02.240 And you certainly see the twisting of politics as it gets involved, and they try to pretend that these animals, these predators, are somehow, you know, they always have the narrative.

00:12:12.520 They just want to work.

00:12:13.340 They just want to be here to help.

00:12:14.360 And then you find out what they've done, and suddenly it comes out every single time.

00:12:19.460 This has done, you know, horrific violence or horrific preying upon others, even the labor trafficking and others.

00:12:27.120 Talk to me a little bit about that, though, and you've talked about how local politicians put fear into the local police officers.

00:12:34.960 But at the same time, you're also seeing the targeting of ICE officers, and people will say, oh, well, why are they going out in the masks?

00:12:41.660 And it's, I've said this on the show here, well, that's because of doxing.

00:12:44.920 That's because that people have been going on social media and looking up the information using facial recognition software that's out there to be able to track these agents.

00:12:53.400 How is the agent community felt in the face of all of this?

00:12:56.560 You know, the best thing about ICE is we're a resilient group.

00:13:00.700 There's some brave men and women, like I said earlier, that are very proud to do their job again.

00:13:04.340 But unfortunately, they have to think of their families.

00:13:07.280 You look to why you see ICE agents' masks.

00:13:09.140 Now, if you look at the last administration or even the first two months, January, February of this administration, you didn't see ICE officers wearing masks.

00:13:15.720 But instead, we've seen an uptick of violence.

00:13:17.940 We're over 1,000 percent increase the last year of violence and assault on ICE agents.

00:13:23.660 But take the agent out of the equation.

00:13:25.200 You have some personnel say, well, that comes with being in law enforcement.

00:13:28.300 Your family being threatened, your kid's Instagram being posted somewhere, or you're, you know, you have elected officials calling for no rest for ICE agents or their families.

00:13:37.320 That is what's wrong.

00:13:38.460 It's the fiery rhetoric that are putting ICE agents and their families in the line of fire.

00:13:43.340 And I know, because I speak from experience, and under the last administration, I was doxed.

00:13:47.040 I had Antifa show up at my house at 3 o'clock in the morning.

00:13:49.520 No law enforcement agent doing their job needs that.

00:13:52.520 And that's what needs to stop.

00:13:54.000 Well, it's very simple.

00:13:55.380 And then that we shouldn't ever involve families in this.

00:13:58.940 And sure, when it comes to this type of enforcement, you would expect that from, I don't know, the narco cartels.

00:14:04.800 You would expect that from, you know, if someone's a member of some terrorist cell that's operating inside the United States.

00:14:10.120 But you wouldn't expect that from fellow citizens.

00:14:12.020 No, and you know what's frustrating, too, is I think a lot of this, a lot of people don't educate themselves, whether an elected official or someone that doesn't agree with the ICE mission.

00:14:20.160 More than 70% of the people we arrest have some type of criminal charge, whether pending or convicted.

00:14:26.160 But that's just not the case.

00:14:27.660 These people may have be wanted from another country or have a significant criminal history that they're fleeing from from their home country.

00:14:34.480 So when ICE is being painted as we're going out and just rounding up a worker or rounding up people trying to make a better life, people just don't educate themselves on that person and what ICE is actually doing to make America safe again.

00:14:46.720 Well, in many of these cases, I would like to ask, because there's there's something that I've noticed as well, that it seems as though that because some of the raids that have been done and, you know, obviously, I understand you can't get into too much operational.

00:14:59.620 So I'll speak vaguely here, but it seems as though immigration fraud is something that's being cracked down on a little bit harder now.

00:15:06.960 Do I have that right?

00:15:08.000 It is, you know, under President Trump, under this, you know, this administration, we've opened up the full immigration portfolio.

00:15:14.560 You know, we're no longer doing law enforcement by just an executive order or kind of skewing a lot to make it fit one side, you know, one side of the aisle.

00:15:24.020 What we're doing is we're focused on everything.

00:15:26.140 And, you know, immigration, you know, enforcement, it might not be a criminal act or a victimless act, but you have criminal aliens that are using U.S. citizens, Social Security numbers, tax fraud, voting fraud.

00:15:40.580 And that's why we're cracking down, too, on a lot of these American businesses because.

00:15:43.960 And that's what I mean.

00:15:45.260 These American businesses are making money off the backs and the sweat of these people, but they're also encouraging human trafficking, sex trafficking, forced labor. 0.74

00:15:53.760 So we're holding those business owners accountable as well because it's not just a victimless crime.

00:15:57.700 Well, it's very simple to me that in so many of these cases, you know, we understand that, look, if I were in a situation like that, I'd probably break into the United States to work illegally as well.

00:16:07.800 If I was coming from one of these cases, I get that.

00:16:09.920 But at the same time, if you've got someone who's exploiting that person who's in need, now you're creating that toxic, that toxic necessity, that toxic need for them to come in to say, oh, well, you've got to work for me.

00:16:23.820 You might have a slave labor situation. 0.86

00:16:25.900 You might have, you know, indentured servitude, the new, they call it modern slavery, these types of things, because this is what ends up happening, that you're stuck.

00:16:33.780 They've got no way to get out.

00:16:35.080 And suddenly they're basically having to work for this business owner while living in who knows what kind of conditions.

00:16:41.120 Well, 100 percent.

00:16:41.800 And when you think about that, too, that kind of goes in line with the sanctuary narrative, because these business owners, you know, they frighten them, right?

00:16:48.300 The narrative's out there that if they report or they try to get away, then ICE is going to deport them and they're going to be worse off.

00:16:53.440 But at the same time, a lot of these people are being exploited by the cartels and these foreign terrorist organizations that are feeding this pipeline, that are supporting American businesses just to make money.

00:17:02.900 And that's where we have to hold everyone accountable.

00:17:04.820 Last question.

00:17:05.900 I could be here all day.

00:17:06.900 If you had to put a number on it, or does ICE have an official number, total amount of illegals we think are in the country?

00:17:15.020 You know, we don't.

00:17:15.880 But what I will tell you is we are focused on the more than 1.8 million that have final orders of deportation in the countless hundreds that are being released 24 hours a day from sanctuary jurisdictions when our detainers aren't honored and they go back to our community.

00:17:30.840 And we can't think of numbers large to serve.

00:17:32.560 We have to think of going out and making sure we find those immediate public safety threats so they don't hurt anyone again.

00:17:38.340 Where can people go if they want to sign?

00:17:40.260 If people are interested in that want to join ICE, where can they go?

00:17:42.840 You can go to joinice.gov.

00:17:45.320 You can go to all our social media platforms on Facebook, Instagram, and X.

00:17:49.060 We're looking for brave men and women that want to come out and have a great federal law enforcement career and be a part of a great agency.

00:17:54.100 Join.ice.gov.

00:17:56.020 Thank you once again, and God bless to all the men and women out there.

00:17:58.860 Thank you.

00:18:02.560 Thank you.

00:18:32.540 Going to Anchorage, meeting with the Russian delegation.

00:18:35.660 Then the very next work day on Monday, holding the multilateral meeting with all of the world leaders here.

00:18:41.980 The largest meeting of world leaders, I believe it.

00:18:44.700 I'm going to check on this.

00:18:45.820 That's ever been held here at the White House.

00:18:48.620 We're here with the woman who put it all together and a great friend of the show, Ambassador Crowley.

00:18:53.920 How are you?

00:18:54.460 Hey, Jack.

00:18:55.200 Great to be with you.

00:18:56.140 Thank you for having me.

00:18:57.840 How did you do this?

00:18:58.900 How did you put – so President Trump comes in and says he wants – I want to meet with the Russians.

00:19:03.060 Then I'm going to meet with everybody on Monday.

00:19:05.140 And it falls to you.

00:19:05.980 What is that like?

00:19:07.020 Well, first of all, it was great to see you on Air Force One going to Alaska for the president's meeting with President Trump.

00:19:12.580 And it was a very productive day of meetings.

00:19:15.960 And then we left Alaska.

00:19:17.640 And we're on Air Force One coming back home.

00:19:20.420 There are people starting to fall asleep in the cabin, but not our president Trump, who, of course, has superhuman energy and superhuman strength.

00:19:28.560 So he was making calls the entire flight back to Washington, and at about 2 a.m. Eastern time, we hear from the National Security Council that we will have President Zelensky arriving to the White House to meet with President Trump on Monday at 1 a.m.

00:19:45.000 So immediately we knew that we were going to have about 36 hours to put together that bilateral meeting here at the White House.

00:19:52.040 But, Jack, then we were told it wasn't just President Zelensky.

00:19:56.100 Right.

00:19:57.060 So he's on the phone, and he's wheeling and dealing, and he's on with the NATO leaders.

00:20:03.180 He's on with Zelensky.

00:20:04.400 And he said, all right, let's get Zelensky in the room.

00:20:06.620 And then you get another phone call, and they say he's not coming by himself.

00:20:10.000 He is not coming by himself.

00:20:11.540 So we had a grand total of eight world leaders, including six heads of state or heads of government, and two additional leaders for the European Commission.

00:20:20.900 And NATO.

00:20:23.020 So we were bringing in eight total within the space of 36 hours.

00:20:27.620 And, of course, we want all of these meetings to be run properly and right because my job as chief of protocol, and I've got an extraordinary team working with me.

00:20:36.840 They are just the best in the business.

00:20:38.460 We want to make sure that we are creating the optimal environment for the most robust, effective diplomacy for both sides.

00:20:47.540 So we make sure that the incoming world leaders have what they need in terms of access and resources and comforts of home.

00:20:55.020 And then, of course, we make sure that the president of the United States has what he needs so that these events are being run properly, they're run well, they're run professionally, so that they can conduct the optimal diplomacy for the United States.

00:21:09.700 Well, I mean, I have to say, I was shocked to see it.

00:21:14.160 I said, I can't believe this is a government operation because I've never seen the government do something so quickly and so efficiently and do it without a hitch, just without a hitch.

00:21:23.840 When it came to, in terms of the productions and the way it was done, people arrived on time, people, honestly, even in Anchorage, we left a little bit early and people were saying it was upsetting, so they're just done.

00:21:34.160 I kept saying that to me, I think they're just done.

00:21:36.360 Well, you know, Jack, we're in the government, but we are not the government.

00:21:39.720 So President Trump is a private sector businessman, hugely successful, of course, and he's brought in so many people who've spent their entire lives and careers in the private sector.

00:21:51.180 This is what we do.

00:21:52.180 So when we found out we had 36 hours to put all of this together for the Zelensky meeting with the European leaders, we hopped to it, we didn't sleep, and we got it done.

00:22:00.900 And we ended up creating an environment for a day of very productive talks.

00:22:05.220 You know, there was something that you mentioned just there about, you know, and, you know, I caught wind a bit as well.

00:22:10.860 I was on the plane, and I hear about this 2 a.m. business, and we're holding because he's still on the phone.

00:22:15.600 And now I realize what it was.

00:22:17.020 He's putting the meeting together for Monday.

00:22:19.460 So there was something he said in the meeting, and that struck me with what you said as well, where they were talking about the way the government works.

00:22:26.920 And this is kind of what we're talking about, the speed of government versus the speed of business, the speed of the private sector.

00:22:31.360 And where President Trump, I think it was Keir Starmer, it may have been one of the readouts, said, oh, let's set a date for the next round of meetings to be in a month from now.

00:22:40.100 And President Trump says a month.

00:22:41.300 No, let's do it as soon as possible because there's so much killing that's going on.

00:22:46.480 This is a war.

00:22:47.420 We're trying to stop that.

00:22:48.840 Is that really what's driving the president when it comes to all of the scheduling, the urgency, the quickness that we see here?

00:22:54.580 Yes, I mean, first of all, President Trump is a man of immediacy and urgency anyway.

00:22:59.860 He doesn't believe in burning daylight, as our good friend Steve Bannon often says, right?

00:23:04.740 He doesn't believe that.

00:23:05.800 He realizes that he has X number of days in this presidency, in this term, to save America and make peace.

00:23:12.940 He's also genuinely a man of peace.

00:23:15.540 Of course, President Trump is driven by strategic imperatives for America's national interest.

00:23:20.780 But what drives him even more so is the desire for peace and to stop conflicts and stop killing and the eradication of innocent life around the world.

00:23:30.620 That's why he's been so successful in bringing together parties that have been at war for decades.

00:23:36.900 So when he said, no, we're going to make this call to President Putin tonight and we're going to make this happen today or tomorrow or in the next day or so, not in the next month.

00:23:46.840 He literally made the point, Jack, that in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, we are losing or they are losing between three and five thousand soldiers on both sides per week.

00:23:57.900 And I want to and he said that is totally unacceptable.

00:24:00.180 If you let it go a longer period of time, more innocent life is going to be lost and we will not stand for that.

00:24:05.720 And I and I want to just say to the audience for a second here that for people who understand, they said they had all these cynical ideas about the president.

00:24:14.720 Oh, he just wants money. Oh, he just wants this. He wants that.

00:24:17.180 It's it's something where tell the audience when it comes down to it, when the president really is is in these private moments.

00:24:24.480 What is it that's driving him?

00:24:26.060 I mean, like I said, the strategic imperative for America's national interests, of course, it is America first.

00:24:32.140 It's putting the American people first. And he has said with regard to these conflicts in the vast majority of them, in the vast majority of them,

00:24:41.240 the United States doesn't have a particular strategic dog in the fight.

00:24:45.720 But he really believes in trying to make peace and leveraging the full power of the White House in the United States of America to try to bring parties together to end unnecessary conflicts, try to save innocent life.

00:24:58.880 Well, and there's also when you talk about the strategic imperative, there is a strategy, though.

00:25:03.660 There's been a phrase that we've used on human events.

00:25:05.620 We've used it on the war room, and that's called the reverse Nixon.

00:25:09.820 Who was it that came up with that again?

00:25:11.480 That would be me, Jack Posovic.

00:25:13.460 Wow. Ambassador Monica Crowley.

00:25:15.860 Thank you so much for spending time with us here on Human Events Daily.

00:25:19.280 Thank you so much, Jack.

00:25:20.780 Thank you. God bless.

00:25:21.640 Thank you. God bless.

00:25:21.660 Where is Jack?

00:25:39.240 Where is Jack?

00:25:41.580 Where is he?

00:25:42.880 Jack, I want to see you.

00:25:46.540 Great job, Jack.

00:25:48.060 Thank you.

00:25:48.800 What a job you do.

00:25:49.840 You know, we have an incredible thing.

00:25:51.640 We're always talking about the fake news and the bad, but we have guys, and these are the guys who should be getting policies.

00:25:58.120 All right, folks, Jack Posovic here on the south lawn of the White House, Human Events at the White House.

00:26:04.400 I want to tell you very quickly about one of our partners, and they're the reason that we're able to be here at the White House, able to do what we do and bring these stories to you every day, right in the thick of the action on Human Events, and that's My Patriot Supply.

00:26:18.660 Folks, the Department of Energy just released a shocking report.

00:26:22.540 Thanks to skyrocketing energy demand from electric cars and AI data centers, power outages could increase by 10,000% over the next few years.

00:26:31.520 Look, if you don't have a backup generator, it's time to get one.

00:26:34.860 And the one I recommend is the Grid Doctor 3300 solar generator from our friends at My Patriot Supply.

00:26:40.440 Unlike gas generators, it's quiet, fume-free, and safe to use indoors, yet it's powerful enough to run almost everything in your home.

00:26:48.520 We've partnered with Patriot Supply for years, and right now, My Patriot Supply has one of the best deals we've ever seen.

00:26:55.820 When you go to mypatriotsupply.com slash jack and order a Grid Doctor 3300 solar generator, you get free expansion battery, which doubles the power capacity of this system.

00:27:06.700 They're doubling your power for absolutely free.

00:27:09.740 Just go to mypatriotsupply.com slash jack.

00:27:12.700 That's mypatriotsupply.com slash jack.

00:27:15.860 The free expansion battery offer is only available for a limited time.

00:27:20.320 mypatriotsupply.com slash jack.

00:27:22.200 Mr. President, all of us are charged with being good stewards of taxpayer dollars.

00:27:27.700 I've gone through a reorganization for ODNI that we've announced last week.

00:27:33.600 We've cut nearly half of redundant, unnecessary functions within ODNI, saving taxpayers over $700 million a year.

00:27:42.560 We will continue focusing on our core mission in keeping the American people safe and appreciate your leadership and your focus on this most critical task.

00:27:52.560 And you've also found many bags of information.

00:27:57.780 I think they call them burn bags.

00:27:59.320 They're supposed to be burned and they didn't get burned, having to do with how corrupt the 2020 election was.

00:28:06.140 And when will that all come out?

00:28:07.760 Mr. President, I will be the first to brief you once we have that information collected.

00:28:13.560 But you're right.

00:28:14.240 It's it's we are finding documents literally tucked away in the back of safes and random offices in these bags and in other areas,

00:28:23.900 which, again, speaks to the intent of those who are trying to hide the truth from the American people.

00:28:28.780 Great job.

00:28:29.460 Thank you.

00:28:29.940 We look forward to hearing it.

00:28:31.200 The public looks forward.

00:28:32.660 Thank you very much.

00:28:33.400 And we're back here.

00:28:35.880 Human events daily on this White House special.

00:28:39.260 And I just had to take a minute to discuss this.

00:28:41.760 So what DNI Gabbard is saying right there and, you know, we're working to follow up with the DNI's office on more information regarding what exactly was found in these burn bags regarding the 2020 election.

00:28:56.920 So burn bag existence being in there is very interesting.

00:29:00.240 That indicates that so here's how burn bags work.

00:29:04.000 And I worked in the intelligence community and we use burn bags every day.

00:29:07.240 So a burn bag meant why they call burn bags.

00:29:10.500 So when you print out classified material, you then put it in a burn bag, which is a literal bag that is marked with the type of classification it's in or at least, you know, up to a certain level.

00:29:23.060 And that bag is then taken by the agency and destroyed so that whatever's in there is also incinerated.

00:29:33.300 And so the idea is that this happens on a routine basis.

00:29:36.660 So say once a week or something like that.

00:29:39.120 So when the burn bags are there, they're only there for a little bit.

00:29:43.180 What does this mean?

00:29:43.760 This means either these burn bags were taken off the floor and put in a different area so people, no one, you know, would see what was in there.

00:29:50.660 Or it could have been that these burn bags were put there just as the transition from one administration to the other, the last Biden administration and now into the Trump administration were taking place so that they were not able to basically burn them, destroy this evidence prior to the new admin getting in.

00:30:12.560 So, yes, does this look like they were attempting to destroy evidence?

00:30:16.780 It absolutely does.

00:30:18.880 And I would hope that they're going back in and whatever these documents were, that they're going back into whatever system they're on, whether this was SIGINT or I'm guessing more than likely it was SIGINT or some kind of DocX system where they go in and pull the files, pull the file numbers and check to see if those files still exist on the electronic system as well on the digital side.

00:30:43.880 Because if you're pulling things out of something that was on NSA net or something else like that, who knows what type of potential laws you have now run afoul of if you were actually getting rid of evidence on government servers.

00:30:57.420 So, not to mention mishandling and all the other issues there.

00:31:01.920 Look, what DNI Gabbard has been doing over at the Directorate of National Intelligence, it's nothing short of astounding.

00:31:11.000 This is the very first time that we've seen someone use the power of the DNI the way that it is statutorily approved of.

00:31:19.520 What does that mean? So, legally speaking, the DNI has the ability to declassify any documents from all across the intel community.

00:31:27.860 The difference being that the other DNIs prior to her have deferred to the home agency.

00:31:34.560 So, defer to CIA, defer to FBI, defer to NSA, whichever it was, and say, okay, well, if you don't want us to release that, we won't release that.

00:31:41.820 If you don't want to release these emails, we won't release these emails.

00:31:44.460 She's on the opposite.

00:31:45.160 What DNI Gabbard has done is actually go in and declassify everything.

00:31:51.080 She's declassified emails.

00:31:52.700 She's declassified the ICA.

00:31:55.120 She's declassified the workflow in many of these cases that directly implicates Brennan, Clapper, and Comey.

00:32:03.720 Why did nobody else do this?

00:32:05.180 The emails have been sitting right there on government servers this entire time.

00:32:08.480 Now, we know why it wasn't done in the Biden regime, certainly,

00:32:11.360 but we also know that that means that every time the Republican Congress was digging into this, that they were being lied to,

00:32:17.680 that they were being lied, that these emails didn't exist, that they were being lied to, that this evidence didn't exist.

00:32:23.520 They knew.

00:32:24.340 They knew it was on these servers the entire time.

00:32:28.480 And what did they do?

00:32:29.780 They sat on it.

00:32:31.020 They hid it.

00:32:31.880 They put it in burn bags.

00:32:33.020 And they lied.

00:32:33.800 They lied to officials.

00:32:36.780 And if any of them, by the way, did so under oath, then that's something that we call perjury.

00:32:42.120 And perjury, ladies and gentlemen, is a crime.

00:32:46.040 And it is a crime with a statute of limitations that is still active.

00:32:50.700 So we'll see.

00:32:51.900 We will absolutely see.

00:32:53.620 And in fact, all of these individuals should be brought before Congress and should be asked yet again about their emails.

00:33:01.520 Why?

00:33:02.160 Let's get them on the record.

00:33:03.060 Let's get them under oath.

00:33:04.500 Let's see what exactly was going on.

00:33:06.540 Now, this all speaks to these grand juries that have been impaneled, we're told, and we've reported here on Human Events Daily.

00:33:16.200 We've also heard other reporting from John Solomon over at Just the News hearing that potentially these grand juries could be in Florida.

00:33:23.800 This gets around the issue of just look what happened this week in Washington, D.C.

00:33:28.020 Grand jury nullification is something that the D.C. jury pool is doing.

00:33:32.360 And what have I said before about the D.C. jury pool?

00:33:36.300 The issue with the D.C. jury pool is that you've got a 90-plus percent Democrat district, a blue district.

00:33:44.580 And so they aren't going to convict anyone with a D next to their name.

00:33:49.420 Meanwhile, if you have an R next to your name or you are related to anything in any way, Donald Trump, you're going to get convicted.

00:33:57.900 The J6 cases had a 100 percent conviction rate.

00:34:02.080 So what do you do?

00:34:04.020 You've got to get the cases out of D.C.

00:34:06.920 Also, by the way, just recently, just this week, when they tried to indict the, they went to the grand jury and they said, look, we have a video of a DOJ employee who is attacking an ICE agent and attempting to interfere with them.

00:34:19.860 They're assaulting them.

00:34:20.680 They're throwing things at them.

00:34:21.860 And that is felony assault.

00:34:25.160 The D.C. grand jury said, we don't agree.

00:34:27.700 So they put it out.

00:34:28.900 And they said, we're not going to file the indictment.

00:34:31.620 Ladies and gentlemen, this is the fight that we're up against.

00:34:35.600 This is chess.

00:34:36.780 It's not checkers.

00:34:37.780 And we need to be smart.

00:34:39.380 And that's what D.N.I.

00:34:40.840 Gabbard is doing.

00:34:42.160 She's smart.

00:34:43.220 She's getting all of the evidence, collecting it, having the receipts at her fingertips.

00:34:49.620 And the team over there is running like a well-oiled machine.

00:34:55.020 And that team understands that if we're ever going to win this thing, we've got to play the game smart.

00:35:01.540 And we need to play to win.

00:35:04.460 And that's what Tulsi Gabbard has always done. 0.94

00:35:06.500 She's always played to win, whether it be in Congress, whether it be in the military or elsewhere. 0.99

00:35:12.480 Look, if our intelligence system is going to be corrupted, when it gets to the dealmakers, the decision makers, the policymakers, these intelligence documents, these reports, men get sent into battle, bombs get dropped, guns get fired on the basis of this intelligence.

00:35:34.320 It must be sacrosanct.

00:35:36.820 But that's not what we had.

00:35:37.880 We had a system where people were making it up on the fly.

00:35:41.360 And that is the system, ladies and gentlemen, that needs to change.

00:35:46.920 All right, I'll be right back here with more of the White House special on Human Events Daily.

00:35:52.420 Do not click away.

00:35:54.300 Don't you dare.

00:35:55.120 From Real America's Voice.

00:35:55.980 Jack is a great guy.

00:36:05.040 He's written a fantastic book.

00:36:06.700 Everybody's talking about it.

00:36:07.940 Go get it.

00:36:09.040 And he's been my friend right from the beginning of this whole beautiful event.

00:36:13.020 And we're going to turn it around and make our country great again.

00:36:16.220 Amen.

00:36:16.560 All right, folks, Human Events Daily.

00:36:19.340 We're back here live on the South Lawn of the White House.

00:36:23.240 And we're very honored to have now on our show the director of the National Intelligence, National Economic Council.

00:36:30.500 We've got the director of the National Intelligence later, folks.

00:36:32.540 We'll have everyone later.

00:36:33.780 National Economic Council.

00:36:35.680 Kevin Hassan is here.

00:36:36.580 Thank you so much for joining us.

00:36:37.260 Oh, it's great to be here.

00:36:38.200 Thank you.

00:36:38.540 So I need to, you have to explain something to me.

00:36:42.060 I'm very confused, obviously, because the media told me that by this point in President Trump's term, that his policies would be destroying our stock market.

00:36:50.060 Inflation would be through the roof.

00:36:51.180 The price of eggs, the price of everything would be absolutely crazy.

00:36:54.900 And that people would be basically priced out of house and home.

00:36:58.600 Yet, I'm looking around.

00:36:59.740 The sky doesn't seem to have fallen yet.

00:37:01.900 How is that possible?

00:37:02.760 Right.

00:37:03.380 It's possible because President Trump was right all along that we could raise revenue with tariffs.

00:37:10.860 And a lot of the cost of the tariff is going to be borne by the borders who are exporting stuff to the U.S.

00:37:18.220 So if you think about it, China is maintaining political stability by giving jobs to people and dumping products in the U.S.

00:37:24.900 And if they were to cut back, then they would have people lose their jobs and then maybe have political instability.

00:37:31.260 So they're bearing most of the tariff.

00:37:33.760 And so we've got big tariff revenues, but we don't see inflation at all.

00:37:37.580 In fact, inflation has been decelerating.

00:37:38.960 It's about half where it was.

00:37:40.100 It's about six months ago.

00:37:41.380 All right.

00:37:41.520 So let's think about that.

00:37:42.280 Inflation has now been cut in half since President Trump took office.

00:37:46.900 Yet we were told that the tariffs themselves would be inflationary.

00:37:51.240 What was wrong with the thinking of – I'm not going to use the word panicans.

00:37:55.020 I just did.

00:37:55.860 But what was wrong with the logic of that?

00:37:58.140 Right.

00:37:58.760 Well, I actually like to run through a simple example.

00:38:02.560 Suppose that you're buying an apple for $1 and then we put a $0.10 tax on it.

00:38:08.500 Let's just say tax.

00:38:09.880 Then when you go to the store, then something's going to happen with the price.

00:38:13.600 If the price of the apple goes to $1.10, then you, the consumer, are going to have to pay the whole $0.10.

00:38:20.540 If the price is $1, then the business pays the whole $0.10.

00:38:24.100 And it could go somewhere in between, but it's got to be between $1 and $1.10.

00:38:27.900 And what happens is that if there's an inelastically supplied thing so that people just have to sell it, then like the apple spoil if you don't sell it, then what happens is that the guy, the store, ends up bearing the tax.

00:38:41.800 And so if we've had a trade deficit, say, with China forever and ever, then by definition, their supply is inelastic.

00:38:48.920 And so therefore, they should be like the store example.

00:38:50.880 They should bear a lot of the tariff.

00:38:52.500 That's a great way to put that.

00:38:53.580 So I used to work briefly at the China American Chamber of Commerce over there and spent a lot, two years total living and working in China, studying a little bit as well.

00:39:02.740 And it's very clear that this is entirely how their economy is set up.

00:39:07.180 So when you talk about the jobs and the direct correlation between work and, in many cases, make work in China as well as instability, this is exactly right. 0.99

00:39:16.540 This is what the CCP leaders, even if it wasn't Xi Jinping, whichever, and perhaps will be there for the rest of our natural lives, who knows.

00:39:24.620 But, you know, even prior to him, though, when it was Hsu Jintao, when it was others, the very first thing they wake up thinking of is, is my country unstable and will the loss of jobs lead to that instability?

00:39:35.460 This, of course, was one of their biggest drivers in COVID because they had to reopen.

00:39:39.840 They had to get back to work.

00:39:41.580 And it was one of the toughest challenges that they were facing because there was a moment during COVID where the whole thing, the whole, you know, the apple cart would have been turned over, to use the, to carry the analogy forward.

00:39:53.460 But so, that being said, if they're not exporting, because their entire economy is centered around exports, if those exports aren't chugging out, then that means their production down.

00:40:03.660 If they're slashing production, that means those people are going to be eventually slashing jobs.

00:40:08.200 That'll be the downstream effect.

00:40:09.540 And guess what?

00:40:10.420 The, the all the way downstream effect will be this instability.

00:40:13.680 So, it actually makes sense because we know that they've been playing these, these currency games already with the renminbi, with the Chinese yuan, that they have to keep the exports up no matter what.

00:40:24.040 They do.

00:40:24.400 And that's why we see that, you know, we're not seeing runaway inflation and we're raising maybe, it looks like now we're going to have $3 trillion in tariff revenue over the next 10 years from these great tariffs.

00:40:36.020 I suppose you could say, in a way, you guys called their bluff.

00:40:38.980 Yeah, I guess, I guess what happened is President Trump had a strong belief, a lot of people disagreed with him, and then he acted on it because elections have consequences.

00:40:49.220 And now here we are, you know, on our way to the golden age.

00:40:52.060 Well, and it's incredible to see, and we've, we've had members of Treasury on as well, talking about how we're seeing this blue collar job boom, how we're seeing the CapEx numbers up.

00:41:01.020 So, that's when capital expenditures are going to be coming, going in.

00:41:05.340 So, people reinvesting in their businesses, people reinvesting in the United States, all of this is incredible.

00:41:10.600 Got to ask you, though, all of this, all of this new, you know, just in the last 12 hours, really, the, the Fed, the Fed governor putting pressure on Powell to slash rates.

00:41:20.740 Because people would say, okay, when is it being cut, what is it being cut, et cetera, et cetera.

00:41:25.180 Tell our viewers, right, if let's say you're someone who, you know, isn't involved in this, but you're a day-to-day person, what will lower interest rates mean for the average family?

00:41:34.140 Right. Well, if interest rates are lower, then that means that it'll be cheaper to buy a house, cheaper to buy a car, cheaper to buy anything that you buy on layaway, like a new washing machine.

00:41:46.180 And it'll also reduce your credit card bills and have, you know, basically just have more money in your pocket.

00:41:51.700 So, the idea, and this is something, by the way, because I don't know if you've heard about this, but Gen Z, Charlie Kirk is a good friend, kind of put me onto this.

00:41:59.620 And a lot of Gen Z guys are now doing this.

00:42:02.460 They're buying everything on credit.

00:42:03.700 You mentioned a couple appliances.

00:42:05.560 They're paying bills on credit.

00:42:07.500 And they're using these short-term loan options through apps to go on credit.

00:42:12.740 I mean, things like DoorDash and things like Uber Eats and all of it, rent in some cases, these are going on credit.

00:42:19.140 And so, you're really seeing this entire generation that's digging themselves deeper into credit.

00:42:24.540 And I don't know if they're thinking about it in a way that, you know, money doesn't have to be like this.

00:42:30.680 Money can be a way where you actually have productivity where the money that you're taking in will go up, not just the money that you're borrowing.

00:42:38.120 Yeah, you've got to watch out and not get too extended with your debt.

00:42:41.020 But I think a lot of the things you're talking about are really the revolution in sort of digital finance.

00:42:45.740 And that's something that's been a real positive, especially for younger folks.

00:42:49.900 Well, no, it certainly is interesting.

00:42:51.300 And there are times where I wish that I could have bought some stuff that way, you know, when I was younger.

00:42:56.340 But at the same time, you know, you do worry, though, that there are people that, as you say, get caught up a little bit too much.

00:43:03.040 They get over their skis in debt and they push out.

00:43:05.580 So what is the administration when they're looking at, you know, and you see folks like, you know, in certain areas like New York City, people turning towards Amandani, people saying that, oh, my rent is too high.

00:43:17.520 My rent is crazy.

00:43:18.440 This price, that price, they're out of there.

00:43:20.580 How is the administration looking at those types of people?

00:43:23.380 Right.

00:43:23.500 Well, I mean, socialism is a really bad idea.

00:43:26.440 And when a government becomes socialist, then you end up with shortages.

00:43:31.780 And so what would probably happen if you really did start having government grocery stores is they'd all be up to you.

00:43:37.720 Because people would just go in and take everything out and then, you know, would the government run out of money.

00:43:42.500 And this is how the Soviet Union worked and this is how New York City is going to work too.

00:43:47.740 And you can see the pressure is building.

00:43:50.360 But at the same time, these policies have been tried so many times and every single time it's failed.

00:43:55.480 And in fact, that failure has led to knock-on effects that have been 10 times even worse.

00:44:00.460 Just one minute left.

00:44:01.860 Give your final message for our viewers and tell them where they can follow you.

00:44:04.880 Right.

00:44:05.120 Well, you know, just follow me at the White House.

00:44:07.720 I'm on the White House a lot virtually every day.

00:44:09.780 And the bottom line is that as we head into Labor Day, just remember that President Trump's policies led to a $6,500 raise for the typical American family last time.

00:44:20.160 And we've doubled down on those policies with a big, beautiful bill that are expecting that over the next few years, there'll be another $10,000 raise for the typical American because of the policies that President Trump has pushed.

00:44:30.680 I love putting it that way.

00:44:31.940 A $10,000 raise per family.

00:44:34.880 Kevin, do me a favor.

00:44:35.940 Don't tell my wife that.

00:44:36.920 So I don't want to, Tweetheart, just this episode was, this was a fictional episode.

00:44:42.820 We were, I'll make sure that when this airs, she's doing something else. 1.00

00:44:47.460 Kevin, thank you so much.

00:44:48.520 The Director of the President's National Economic Council.

00:44:50.780 Be right back.

00:44:51.240 Okay.

00:45:05.380 We'll see you next time.

00:45:06.020 We'll be right back.

00:45:06.760 Bye.

00:45:09.940 Bye.

00:45:10.920 Bye.

00:45:10.940 Bye.

00:45:11.380 Bye.
