00:00:25.780 The Poso Daily Brief.
00:00:30.000 This is what happens when the fourth turning meets fifth generation warfare.
00:00:40.720 A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran.
00:00:47.280 This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.
00:00:50.420 Christ is king.
00:00:52.360 There's also an effort by the media to sort of say the Elon era is over.
00:00:56.680 And I think that's actually totally wrong.
00:00:58.400 Now, he has obviously a day job, and he's got to go back to his day job to run his companies.
00:01:03.160 But the doge effort will continue.
00:01:04.720 Elon will continue to be an important advisor for both me and the president.
00:01:08.880 And most importantly, the job, the job of making the government more efficient, of not wasting people's money, that has to continue.
00:01:16.560 And a federal appeals court has restored the president's reciprocal tariffs against other nations.
00:01:21.240 This comes one day after another panel of judges blocked them.
00:01:24.840 President Trump will be in Pennsylvania for a rally today.
00:01:27.260 This follows a deal for Japan-based Nippon Steel to invest in U.S. steel.
00:01:32.460 Trump had initially pledged to block the takeover of the Pittsburgh-based U.S. steel, but now he says there's an agreement for partial ownership.
00:01:39.560 It's not clear how ownership would be structured.
00:01:42.060 Today's rally will be at the U.S. Steelworks in West Mifflin.
00:01:44.960 The Trump administration is changing leadership in Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, due to frustrations over the lack of arrests and deportations.
00:01:53.040 Stephen Miller said it out loud earlier this week in which he said he expects the administration and ICE to up its numbers of arrests and deportations to upwards of 3,000 arrests a day.
00:02:04.340 That's certainly a number that President Trump has focused on.
00:02:07.280 He said he wanted to see more.
00:02:08.560 Bernie Kerik, the 40th Commissioner of the NYPD, has died.
00:02:12.960 A longtime New York cop and correction officer, Kerik took his position in the annals of New York history as Police Commissioner on the city's darkest day, September 11th.
00:02:22.360 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome on board today's edition of Human Events Daily here live from Budapest, Hungary.
00:02:26.900 Today is May 30th, 2025.
00:02:29.900 Anno Domini.
00:02:30.680 And today we pause to honor Titan, a warrior, patriot.
00:02:38.760 Former NYPD Commissioner Bernie Kerik has passed away at 69 after a private battle with illness.
00:02:46.600 Bernie Kerik, he wasn't just a cop.
00:02:49.360 He was a force of nature.
00:02:51.760 A man who stared down chaos and said, not on my watch.
00:02:56.860 And I got to meet Bernie many times, and he's always been an incredible force in this movement, an incredible force for MAGA, an incredible force for this country.
00:03:07.420 Bernie was appointed by Rudy Giuliani at the helm of the NYPD in the year 2000.
00:03:11.760 New York was already on the mend, but he kicked it into overdrive.
00:03:15.660 Under his leadership, violent crime down 63%.
00:03:19.440 Murders slashed 70%.
00:03:21.940 He didn't just police.
00:03:23.840 He reshaped the city's soul, making streets safe for families, for Americans with dreams.
00:03:32.420 Us.
00:03:33.540 His time as corrections commissioner, same story.
00:03:36.640 He turned one of the world's most dangerous jail systems into a model of order.
00:03:41.220 It's not just policy.
00:03:42.380 That's grit, vision, guts.
00:03:45.020 Let me tell you something.
00:03:45.740 You think Luigi would have been able to get that shot off under Bernie?
00:03:49.140 No.
00:03:49.860 No way, guys.
00:03:50.500 And then came 9-11, the day that broke America's heart.
00:03:55.760 Bernie was at ground zero within minutes, covered in ash, coordinating the greatest rescue mission in history, standing shoulder to shoulder with Mayor Giuliani, steady hand in the storm, leading 55,000 officers through hell itself who saved lives.
00:04:14.680 He didn't flinch.
00:04:15.860 He didn't falter.
00:04:16.880 He was there, doing what heroes do, putting others first.
00:04:21.980 That's why Queen Elizabeth honored him.
00:04:24.380 That's why he earned over 100 medals.
00:04:26.380 That's why he earned the NYPD Medal for Honor.
00:04:28.820 And that's why he was America's top top.
00:04:32.140 And Bernie, the man?
00:04:33.360 Play school dropout from Patterson, New Jersey.
00:04:35.940 Flawed his way up from nothing.
00:04:37.540 An Army vet who served in South Korea.
00:04:40.040 Father.
00:04:40.380 A friend.
00:04:41.380 Rudy Giuliani called him a brother.
00:04:43.340 Said he made him braver.
00:04:44.260 And it's said that Eric Adams, the current mayor, former cop himself, actually visited Bernie in his final hours, calling him a friend of 30 years.
00:04:53.980 His legacy isn't just medals or stats.
00:04:56.540 It's in the lives he saved, the city he rebuilt, the courage he inspired.
00:05:02.240 Rest easy, Commissioner.
00:05:04.880 Your watch is ended, but your light burns off.
00:05:19.400 Nothing will stand in our way.
00:05:21.760 And our golden age has just begun.
00:05:24.120 This is Human Events with Jack Posobiec.
00:05:25.880 Now it's time for everyone to understand what America First truly means.
00:05:30.360 Welcome to the second American revolution.
00:05:36.200 All right, folks, we're back.
00:05:37.380 Real America's voice live on the Salem Radio Network, hour three at the Charlie Kirk program.
00:05:42.940 Jack Posobiec here live from Budapest, Hungary.
00:05:45.340 Going to go very quickly in a minute to our interview with the political editor of Breitbart News, Matthew Boyle.
00:05:53.060 But first, folks, listen up, because if you're still drinking that corporate watered down nonsense that you call coffee,
00:05:58.300 it's time for a serious wake-up call.
00:06:01.060 Blackout coffee isn't just coffee.
00:06:02.380 It's a statement, a declaration that you're done with weak beans and weak values.
00:06:07.640 This is high-octane American roasted fuel for those who grind harder, stand taller, and never, ever back down.
00:06:14.680 Look, I love this stuff.
00:06:16.260 You will, too.
00:06:17.220 It powers me when I'm traveling.
00:06:18.500 It powers me when I do all the things that I do around the world.
00:06:21.460 Blackout coffee isn't just playing games.
00:06:23.540 They're cranking out more bags than ever, shipping faster than ever, and keeping you locked in with coffee that actually fires you ink.
00:06:30.820 Whether you're chasing big goals, crushing the daily grind, or just refusing to drink coffee made by people who hate you,
00:06:36.780 blackout coffee has your back.
00:06:39.360 So stop settling.

00:06:45.640 Drink like a patriot and make sure you're drinking blackout coffee.
00:06:48.780 That's blackoutcoffee.com slash POSO.
00:06:50.840 Stop waiting.
00:06:51.800 Wake up.
00:06:52.300 I want to welcome now back to the program, it is Matt Boyle.
00:06:56.300 Matt, you're the bureau chief over there at Breitbart.
00:06:58.900 I've got to ask you, for Washington, D.C., the big, beautiful bill, questions about spending cuts, questions about Doge,
00:07:07.000 will it pass the Senate, President Trump, Stephen Miller, getting into it with a number of senators on this thing.
00:07:13.880 What's your take on all of it?
00:07:15.860 Yeah, well, look, I mean, it's a, first off, Speaker Johnson and the House Republicans deserve a lot of credit
00:07:21.180 for getting this out of the House of Representatives.
00:07:24.460 I told the Speaker, you know, after it passed, I congratulated him and told him that it was exciting that they got it done,
00:07:32.760 as President Trump likes to say, under budget and ahead of schedule, right?
00:07:36.980 Like, so that's the first step here.
00:07:40.160 Now, there's some things the Senate's going to clean up on this whole thing, right?
00:07:43.320 So first and foremost, the House bill blocks Medicaid access to rural hospitals.
00:07:49.440 I would imagine that the Senate's going to clean that up.
00:07:51.760 Senator Josh Hawley, one of the leading America First senators, is leading the way on that.
00:07:56.380 There's some other things that were tucked in there that the Senate's probably going to clean up.
00:08:00.620 But for the most part, I would imagine that the bill looks a lot like what the bill that passed the House is as it makes it through the Senate.
00:08:08.840 I would expect, because I've spoken to the Senate Majority Leader, John Thune.
00:08:13.360 I interviewed him about a month ago.
00:08:15.200 He told me that if the House hit its timeline, and they did by Memorial Day,
00:08:19.800 that he believes that the Senate would possibly be able to get this thing done and off to the president by about July 4th,
00:08:27.600 which would start the 250th year of the United States of America with a big economic boom.
00:08:34.980 So that's the target date, it looks like, is they want to get this done by Independence Day.
00:08:40.200 So hopefully the Senate will be able to rock and roll on this.
00:08:44.320 Now, I've seen the debate recently, the past several days, over whether or not the Doge stuff should be in here.
00:08:52.240 Now, look, first off, the Doge stuff is admirable.
00:08:54.920 Everything that Elon Musk uncovered at the Department of Government Efficiency,
00:08:59.480 they need to figure out a way to codify that stuff.
00:09:04.100 That's a separate debate than the reconciliation, the big, beautiful bill.
00:09:07.940 The reconciliation, they're using budget gimmicks to get around Senate rules so that way they can get the tax stuff into law
00:09:19.980 by getting around the 60-vote rule in the Senate, and they can do it with a simple majority.
00:09:26.900 To do that, they have to get past the Senate parliamentarian,
00:09:29.840 and there's all sorts of different trickery and things that they have to do there.
00:09:33.720 That means that they can't do what are called discretionary spending cuts.
00:09:37.440 They can do mandatory spending cuts.
00:09:40.280 Stephen Miller has made this pretty clear.
00:09:42.260 He's a president and senior advisor in the White House.
00:09:44.800 He's talked about this, and he's got a long history in the Senate.
00:09:47.560 I've known Stephen Miller dating back more than a decade, one of the smartest people you'll ever talk to.
00:09:54.040 But the point is that the reconciliation stuff, they have to focus on the mandatory stuff.
00:09:59.780 The Doge stuff is discretionary spending things.
00:10:02.840 Things like, you know, I'm being oversimplistic here, but teaching monkeys how to blow bubbles or something, right?
00:10:09.480 Like, that's the stuff that goes in the appropriations process.
00:10:13.280 That's a separate fight.
00:10:14.840 That is the government funding fight that comes after the big, beautiful bill.
00:10:18.960 So they've got to do the big, beautiful bill to lock in the 2017 tax rates, do the no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, all that kind of stuff, as well as a lot of the other things that the president has in there, like the immigration enforcement, the energy stuff, etc.
00:10:34.440 They get that stuff through Congress.
00:10:36.720 Then they're going to come back.
00:10:38.540 The government is funded until the end of September.
00:10:41.940 So then the Congress is going to, in July, start the process, really, of what's called the appropriations process.
00:10:50.600 There's multiple ways you can fund the government.
00:10:53.260 You can fund the government through a continuing resolution or an omnibus spending bill.
00:10:57.880 That's the way Congress has done it for the last, like, 30 years.
00:11:00.620 Conservatives have long believed that we should go back to the way we used to do it, which was the 12 different appropriations bills.
00:11:08.780 The House Appropriations Chairman, Tom Cole, he has signaled that they want to go back to the 12 appropriations bills and that he hopes that the Appropriations Committee will have them through their committee, at least, and maybe even the House, by the end of July, setting up a showdown with the Senate Democrats.
00:11:29.320 But that's where it's the appropriations process is where, whether it be an individual appropriations bills or an omnibus or a CR, where you would see the Doge recommendations implemented into law because they need to get it through the full Senate with the 60 votes.
00:11:50.260 That sets up a showdown with the Senate Democrats and the Congressional Democrats and the House side, but particularly the Senate, because if you do have a funding plan, let's say, you know, you get close to or a little over a majority of the Senate Democrats on board,
00:12:08.920 you're going to need at least seven if you add all 53 Republicans, maybe even into double digits.
00:12:16.740 It just depends on the actual vote numbers that you have in the end of Democrats in the Senate to vote for this in the end.
00:12:23.780 So that's the fight, right?
00:12:25.280 Like, so if you want to see the Doge stuff implemented, and I think a lot of people out there do, you've got to really lean on the Appropriations Committee guys,
00:12:33.800 particularly in the House, because that's where this process is going to start.
00:12:38.340 So Tom Cole is the chairman of that committee.
00:12:41.080 He's from Oklahoma.
00:12:41.980 He's been a longtime House Republican, an interesting guy.
00:12:45.380 He really likes the process and the nitty gritty of the House of Representatives and views himself kind of like that, like a protector of the rules and like a dean of the House, et cetera.
00:12:56.080 But the real fight is going to be with those guys like John Rutherford and Mike Simpson and these other members of the Appropriations Committee.
00:13:07.580 They're the ones who are going to decide if Elon Musk's work makes it into federal law or not, right?
00:13:13.800 Like, so do the House Appropriations Committee members go for this?
00:13:19.280 And then if they get it into the House bills and they pass them out of the House, the various cuts that Doge recommended, then they have to go through the Senate as well.
00:13:29.080 And that's an even tougher process.
00:13:31.440 But the but the so the question is, is do the Republicans have particularly these Appropriations Committee guys?
00:13:38.220 So, I mean, I would literally say that the person or persons who are responsible for whether or not Doge succeeds are the House Appropriations Committee Republicans, right?
00:13:53.020 Like so John Rutherford comes to mind, congressman from northeast Florida, total establishment guy, by the way.
00:14:01.300 And, you know, folks, folks, this is just to explain, this is where you need to put the pressure.
00:14:09.940 If you want to see those Doge cuts in like we all do, that's where the pressure needs to be.
00:14:14.360 And that's what Matt is explaining to us here.
00:14:16.700 It goes through the appropriations process.
00:14:18.860 Matt, I know you got to run.
00:14:20.920 I wish we could hold you on for longer because you're a wealth of information on this.
00:14:25.500 Where can people go to follow you who want more information on this?
00:14:28.680 Yeah, just go to Breitbart dot com.
00:14:31.220 Our team is working around the clock and also on X at M Boyle one.
00:14:35.820 And yeah, and Jack, I'm happy to come back soon and talk more about it.
00:14:40.760 Let's get him back on when I'm I'm back in the States and you're around.
00:14:45.400 We're going to have to do an entire episode on how to make the Doge cuts permanent with Matt Boyle and probably a few other things as well.
00:14:53.700 This is Jack Posobiec.
00:14:55.020 We are live from Budapest, Hungary.
00:14:58.840 You know, America's voice.
00:15:00.060 Salem Radio Network.
00:15:01.480 Quick break.
00:15:01.860 Today, you know, they talk about influences.
00:15:16.920 These are influences and they're friends of mine.
00:15:21.180 Jack Posobiec.
00:15:22.680 Where's Jack?
00:15:23.640 Jack.
00:15:24.640 He's done a great job.
00:15:26.520 All right, folks.
00:15:28.100 Jack Posobiec.
00:15:28.560 We're back here.
00:15:29.300 Real America's voice.
00:15:30.260 Salem Radio Network.
00:15:31.740 I want to bring on now Libby Emmons.
00:15:33.880 She's the editor in chief of the Human Events and the Post Millennial, where the Post Millennial has been far and away.
00:15:42.320 The lead outlet reporting on this massive confrontation between Christians, Antifa and the mayor of Seattle.
00:15:53.160 Libby, thank you so much for the coverage.
00:15:54.980 Of course, the great Katie Davis Court, who is doing incredible field journalism down there.
00:15:59.720 Can you walk us through what the Post Millennial is uncovering and what the current status of this story has been?
00:16:05.620 Yeah, so Katie and Ari Hoffman, I got to give shout outs to them for doing great work covering this story.
00:16:13.640 On Tuesday night, there was a protest outside City Hall where Christians showed up to demand the resignation of the mayor, Mayor Bruce Howell, who had sided with Antifa during, in the aftermath of a protest on Saturday.
00:16:30.740 And the whole thing there really got a little out of control.
00:16:34.340 So some Christians, the group called Mayday USA, they're staging events, concerts, Christian concerts in five cities, I think, across the country.
00:16:43.300 Antifa showed up.
00:16:44.380 This was in Cal Anderson Park, which, of course, you know, was the site of the CHAZ occupation in 2020 during our summer of love.
00:16:54.260 Well, I spent many good nights in Cal Anderson Park.
00:16:56.520 Yeah, Cal Anderson Park. So, yeah, the concert was held there and Bruce Howell came out and said that this far right rally was held intentionally in Cal Anderson Park to antagonize the LGBT community and our trans neighbors.
00:17:13.900 In fact, it was later revealed that the mayor's office had recommended Cal Anderson Park as a place to hold this concert.
00:17:22.560 And the organizers had originally suggested Pike Street by the famous Pike Place Market, and they were denied a permit for that location.
00:17:31.660 And, yeah, the mayor's office literally recommended the park that Harold then said was an affront to trans neighbors and the LGBT community.
00:17:40.280 So that's insane. In response, I think 23 people were arrested on Saturday from Antifa, from that counter protest.
00:17:48.900 On Tuesday, this is something Katie Davis Court was covering at City Hall.
00:17:52.640 Pastors and Christians went to protest Mayor Bruce Howell, you know, religious discrimination, all the rest of it, in addition to the complete and total hypocrisy.
00:18:01.640 And there were more people arrested on Tuesday night in Seattle, and Katie was out there covering it.
00:18:09.580 That was absolute madness as well.
00:18:12.440 Since then, it's been revealed that Bruce Howell was arrested in 1996 for brandishing a firearm at a pregnant woman in a casino parking lot over a parking space dispute.
00:18:24.160 He's the mayor of Seattle here.
00:18:25.120 Yeah, the current mayor of Seattle in his former life, I guess, as some kind of gambler, a gambler with a gun in his car.
00:18:34.760 I think that was in Utah.
00:18:36.660 Yeah, so that's a little nuts.
00:18:38.580 Also, his former police chief, who he appointed in 2022, is suing him for wrongful termination and all kinds of other things.
00:18:46.300 There's a lack of due process and termination in that case, and also saying that the mayor was trying to get him to fire people without due process.
00:18:55.980 So there's an awful lot unfolding with this guy.
00:18:59.580 I don't know how Seattle just keeps getting the worst leadership in the country.
00:19:05.020 It's pretty shocking.
00:19:05.740 Well, and we saw with Mayor Jane Durkin, the problem is not the police, and so many people say, oh, we're blaming the police, blaming the police, we're blaming the residents of the business owners.
00:19:19.160 I remember being there with my brother when the various car lots were being assaulted and attacked and fires were set and guns brandished by Raz Simone and others during the Chaz incident.
00:19:33.460 And the issue is, of course, that people keep voting for the same far left politicians over and over again, even though it's been demonstrably proven where these policies lead.
00:19:50.160 And unfortunately, it's also because the main Seattle Times, of course, will lie about these things over and over and over and only ever tell the truth until the very bitter end.
00:20:02.460 And that's why we need outlets like the Post Millennial and the great reportage of Katie Davis Court, Art Hoffman, and so many others to tell the actual story.
00:20:15.280 Yeah, that's 100% true.
00:20:17.380 I really have a lot of respect for the reporters that go out into the street and cover this stuff from the ground.
00:20:22.720 It's where you can really see what's going on, and it's not the kind of coverage that you tend to get from the major news outlets that hang back and, you know, put on their makeup and stand on the sidelines a couple of days later, you know, with their mic and their camera guy.
00:20:38.180 So I have a lot of appreciation for that.
00:20:40.080 Make sure you're bookmarking the Post Millennial.
00:20:41.280 After you bookmark humanevents.com as well.
00:20:45.060 Shout out, by the way, to Frontlines, Jonathan Chowey.
00:20:47.420 He's been out there as well from the TPUSA team.
00:20:51.120 Great guy, great colleague, great man to have in the fight.
00:20:54.060 We'll be right back.
00:20:55.260 Jack Posovic and Libby Emmons.
00:20:57.360 I'm live in Budapest, Hungary, but she's home in the United States of America.
00:21:01.240 Real America's Voice, Salem Radio Network.
00:21:03.820 Right back.
00:21:04.180 And Jack, where is Jack?
00:21:16.340 Where is Jack?
00:21:18.640 Where is he?
00:21:19.920 Jack, I want to see you.
00:21:23.560 Great job, Jack.
00:21:25.040 Thank you.
00:21:25.780 What a job you do.
00:21:27.240 You know, we have an incredible thing.
00:21:28.420 We're always talking about the fake news and the bad, but we have guys, and these are the
00:21:33.100 guys who will be getting Pulisic.
00:21:34.960 All right, folks, we're back.
00:21:36.140 Jack Posovic here, live Budapest, Hungary.
00:21:38.540 I want to go now to a clip of me and my talk earlier today, CPAC Hungary.
00:21:44.420 Well, good morning, everybody.
00:21:45.760 Wow.
00:21:47.780 It's been two years ago we've talked last time.
00:21:51.460 Is that two years already?
00:21:52.060 That's right.
00:21:52.440 Wow.
00:21:52.740 And I remember the last time I was here in Budapest, I said, and many people weren't
00:21:59.160 sure about this at the time, and it's incredible to be here every time I speak, but I said here
00:22:03.380 two years ago that Donald J. Trump will return as President of the United States of America,
00:22:10.040 and I'm here to report back that, yes, not only has he returned, he won the popular vote,
00:22:15.500 he won seven out of seven of the swing states, he won the Electoral College, the Senate, and
00:22:21.060 the House of Representatives, and survived two assassination attempts when he did so.
00:22:26.240 So I think he's outperformed all of our wildest expectations.
00:22:30.680 Well done.
00:22:31.260 And back two years ago, the main topic of the discussion was common sense.
00:22:36.260 Yes.
00:22:37.280 And as we see, common sense probably started to come back to the United States.
00:22:41.180 Hopefully.
00:22:41.480 It's a very high time that it comes back in Europe, to Europe.
00:22:44.960 But my idea for today's discussion was, and is a little bit different now.
00:22:51.800 Okay.
00:22:52.100 And that is, but common sense is bumping into it anyhow.
00:22:55.840 So it's how you experience the walkway of governance, actually, unearthing, coming to the light.
00:23:05.720 Your president, those who started to take positions in the administration, have already bumped into...
00:23:11.960 You know, President Trump has common sense, and wokeness has nonsense.
00:23:17.060 That's right.
00:23:17.680 But the thing is, we here in Hungary, in Europe, as a matter of fact, see that whenever a conservative,
00:23:23.880 right-wing government comes and starts talking common sense and starts working for the people,
00:23:29.800 they immediately start denying everything.
00:23:32.500 So the name of the game is, whatever we do, and this is the Hungarian experience for the past 15 years by now,
00:23:38.240 they say, no.
00:23:39.140 So, and paraphrasing one famous phrase, their way and their approach to governance is not of the people,
00:23:48.740 not by the people, and not for the people.
00:23:50.860 Ah, yes.
00:23:52.320 Well, we had an issue, and I had the opportunity to speak with great leader, Prime Minister Orban,
00:24:00.500 here just yesterday in an interview that will be released later today.
00:24:03.940 And I asked him about this question because, as it turns out, we were not sure exactly who was the president of the United States the last four years
00:24:15.940 because we were told that it was Joe Biden, and it turns out that his brain was not quite capable all the time.
00:24:24.400 And instead, he was using this auto-pen to sign his documents, and we're not entirely sure who was in control of the auto-pen.
00:24:32.660 So to take your phrase and this classic phrase and turn it around, instead of having the government of the people, by the people, and for the people,
00:24:42.000 we had the government of the pen, by the pen, for the pen.
00:24:46.920 What's your finding of the essence of the democratic way of governance and the NGOs, the so-called civil society behind it,
00:24:58.340 which obviously, in brackets, has nothing to do with real civil society?
00:25:01.560 Well, this is the George Soros model of government, where when they say it's an open society,
00:25:07.440 what they actually mean is that it's open for the bureaucrats and the plutocrats and the technocrats,
00:25:13.220 and it is open to all manner of special interests other than the actual people of the nation itself
00:25:20.700 because it serves the NGOs, it serves the Soros level, it serves the bureaucracy level,
00:25:26.680 the special interests, the corporate level, the multinationals, but it doesn't serve the people.
00:25:31.780 And so when you have these governments, like the one that we just experienced in the United States for four years,
00:25:37.580 this was not government of the people.
00:25:39.100 So, of course, this raises many questions for democracy.
00:25:43.220 Who is actually representing the people?
00:25:46.520 Who has been elected by them?
00:25:47.760 Who has been empowered by them?
00:25:49.340 So sovereign rights of the leader should derive from the people in a democracy.
00:25:54.340 This is the basic philosophy of a democratic government.
00:25:57.060 However, if that sovereignty instead is given away to, say, courts, as we've seen in the United States,
00:26:04.520 academia, unelected experts, unelected bureaucracy,
00:26:08.280 well, then you don't have a democracy at all anymore.
00:26:11.040 What you have is an oligarchy.
00:26:13.060 And an oligarchic system whereby in the faces change at the top,
00:26:19.500 but the actual power structure never changes.
00:26:23.040 I would argue that, unfortunately, this system of the pen, by the pen, for the pen,
00:26:28.300 isn't just happening in the United States or was happening in the United States.
00:26:33.760 We see this across Europe as well in many, not this country, by the way,
00:26:38.680 but in many countries in Western Europe, you see the exact same problem,
00:26:43.580 where they change chancellors or they change prime ministers, but the policies don't change.
00:26:48.980 They keep allowing for a war in Ukraine, which is unwinnable at this point.
00:26:53.640 It was unwinnable from the start to continue.
00:26:55.880 They keep escalating the war towards nuclear confrontation with Russia,
00:26:59.840 and they continue the mass importation of migrants from the third world,
00:27:05.260 illegal migrants in many cases, economic migrants in others.
00:27:08.300 And when you change the nature of the people, then you change the country itself.
00:27:14.080 If you replace the people of Hungary, then it would no longer be Hungary.
00:27:17.340 If you replace the people of Poland, it would no longer be Poland.
00:27:20.500 If you replace the people of America, it would no longer be America.
00:27:23.400 And yet, for those in power, this seems to be their specific goal.
00:27:27.300 How do you think it's possible to deconstruct what's being built for the past couple of decades by now?
00:27:33.960 So, in the United States, we're facing the same issue.
00:27:37.080 In Europe, obviously, there's many issues as well.
00:27:40.140 We don't have a European Union structure like most of Europe does.
00:27:44.820 Now, the UK, of course, pulled out in the Brexit situation.
00:27:47.860 And yet, you notice, even though the people of the UK voted to leave the European Union,
00:27:52.020 I don't think the leaders of the UK have actually listened to them.
00:27:55.520 And so they still keep trying to make these secret deals to stay in in many ways.
00:28:00.080 And I certainly, by the way, support the efforts of Nigel Farage,
00:28:03.800 who will be the next prime minister of the UK,
00:28:06.920 in order to complete the Brexit situation and sever that.
00:28:10.460 In the United States, it's a complicated process, but it's simple.
00:28:14.780 The issue is that the sovereign power of the United States,
00:28:19.420 which should be installed in the elected representatives,
00:28:23.200 so the people have chosen the president, the people have chosen the House,
00:28:26.800 the Senate, that's our Congress, and then those then go and appoint the judges.
00:28:30.620 The problem is that sovereignty has essentially leaked out,
00:28:34.540 like a boat with a leak in it.
00:28:37.140 And so the sovereignty has leaked into these other institutions,
00:28:41.320 NGOs, universities, media corporations, which are receiving taxpayer dollars.
00:28:48.020 And so this tax money, which is flowing, yes, from Soros to some extent,
00:28:52.740 but the major goal of what he does is to bring taxpayer dollars to these institutions,
00:28:59.080 which then become the lifeblood of what I call the enemies of the republic,
00:29:04.420 the enemies of a small r, Republican government.
00:29:08.020 And so what we must do then is to sever this link, sever it and cut it off.
00:29:13.960 And you're seeing that now with President Trump in his direct efforts
00:29:17.680 against the Ivy League universities, against Harvard University,
00:29:22.320 banning foreign students because this is a major source of income for them.
00:29:26.560 But all federal dollars that are going to these engines of the anti,
00:29:33.640 in philosophical terms, you would call it anti-democratic institutions,
00:29:38.100 this link must be severed.
00:29:39.960 And this is why you see so much anger from them when he goes after this.
00:29:46.120 Actually, there were some issues, some of the woke issues, trans issues.
00:29:50.040 You notice there was not much response when Trump cut the trans programs.
00:29:54.120 They were not upset about this.
00:29:55.180 And that's why they are more upset about the money.
00:29:58.140 If you can follow the money and sever this connection, cut off all of it from them,
00:30:03.020 then you can really, really break away their power structure.
00:30:05.780 And on the other side of that, in the United States,
00:30:08.440 we have the issue of these district judges have gone completely radical
00:30:13.340 and their decisions to countermand the executive,
00:30:16.860 this is a complete abrogation of their constitutional duties.
00:30:20.660 They are stepping on the rights of the executive.
00:30:22.960 The United States has long-standing and very strict laws on transparency,
00:30:28.720 especially with a special regard to money coming from abroad.
00:30:31.100 And you see the voices, the screams coming out of Hungarian politics and European politics
00:30:39.060 when the Hungarian government and the Hungarian parliament
00:30:41.660 is trying to make political money, who is talking, transparent.
00:30:48.260 You know, by Hungarian law, it's strictly forbidden for political parties to receive any kind of foreign money, full stop.
00:30:54.940 When we started to introduce new measures, which is requiring the very same actually from so-called civil society
00:31:03.340 and anyone who is dealing with public affairs, you see this outcry.
00:31:07.820 So one element is that you have to have stricter rules and transparency rules installed on the ground.
00:31:13.960 And very obviously, it's an institutional process.
00:31:16.580 But you, as an experienced influencer and user of the social media,
00:31:21.700 is it a way out of this kind of deadlock or fading kind of democracy
00:31:28.220 that you speak, talk to the people directly, and that is through social media?
00:31:32.680 Well, it is through social media.
00:31:34.260 And social media has been incredible, and I'm very supportive of everything that Elon Musk has done
00:31:38.900 to free speech across the Internet through his purchase of X.
00:31:44.220 You mentioned about the money, the foreign money that goes from NGOs, the civil society programs.
00:31:49.780 If you have a civil society program in your country, you must shut it down immediately.
00:31:56.660 You must shut it down, you must ban it, you must take all of its assets and completely dissolve it
00:32:02.480 because this exists only to undermine the will of the people, to undermine governments,
00:32:07.800 and to serve this transnational, transglobal agenda.
00:32:11.740 These are the greatest threats to actual democracy in our nation.
00:32:16.760 We see this, they support illegal aliens, they support the flow of illegal migrants across our southern border,
00:32:22.740 they support the upending of the rule of law throughout our states.
00:32:26.580 If you remove these civil society programs, what you're doing is you're taking away their ability to fund these revolutionary programs.
00:32:34.680 And what we're actually seeing with these civil society programs, they have the nicest names in the world,
00:32:40.020 but what they are, in essence, are a form of neo-Marxism to serve as a way to destabilize countries,
00:32:48.640 destabilize the rule of law, and agitate for an irregular form of revolutionary governance.
00:32:56.000 Very well. As always, it's very easy to talk to you and with you about these issues because we're straightforward.
00:33:03.920 What do you suggest is going to be the agenda for the upcoming, say, year in the United States?
00:33:10.500 We already see the first obstacles emerging or trying to emerge in face of the President's efforts.
00:33:17.360 And what's your estimation of European democracy for the upcoming months?
00:33:21.740 Well, I certainly hope that the populist nationalist revolution that has been headed by President Trump in the United States,
00:33:28.940 you see populist nationalists in Poland, and, of course, the great leadership of Viktor Orban.
00:33:33.940 I hope that it spreads across all of Europe, whether it's AfD in Germany, whether it's Nigel Farage in the UK,
00:33:41.500 and so many, Robert Fizzo in Slovakia, who came and spoke here just yesterday.
00:33:46.220 I hope and pray that the people's parties are able to take back national sovereignty, national identity,
00:33:53.640 and remind the people of Europe of the essential truth of our people that Jesus Christ is our King
00:34:02.220 and that God must return to the very center of our way of life.
00:34:06.740 Amen.

00:35:28.360 Human Events Daily Live, Budapest, Hungary.
00:35:31.080 We have a very special guest joining us live in studio.
00:35:35.180 It is the lovely Tanya Tay Posobiec.
00:35:37.840 What's up, sweetheart?
00:35:38.860 Thank you for having me on.
00:35:40.280 Oh, yes.
00:35:40.840 Well, we made it a...
00:35:43.220 Whenever we're in Budapest, I always have you on the show.
00:35:45.660 And it's become like a, you know, kind of a tradition.
00:35:49.020 So we're here again and I have you on again.
00:35:50.760 And you had a really interesting tweet yesterday.
00:35:54.600 And we've been sort of going around Budapest and we're doing See Back Hungary.
00:35:58.240 But you've also been spending some time with the kids.
00:36:00.400 And I try to poke in and out when I can, when I can sneak away.
00:36:04.480 But you had something you said about how Budapest, under Viktor Orban's government,
00:36:09.580 they're talking about the family policies, pro-family.
00:36:11.980 And you were saying how Budapest and Hungary in general are extremely family-friendly.
00:36:17.520 Well, that's correct.
00:36:19.400 And what I hear from many young couples is that they're holding off having children
00:36:24.680 is because having a child is so expensive, starting from all the necessities.
00:36:31.240 I mean, forget about all the entertainment.
00:36:33.620 So it came to a pleasant surprise to me when we went to the local zoo.
00:36:38.020 By the way, the oldest in Hungary and one of the oldest in the world.
00:36:43.880 So really amazing experience.
00:36:45.480 They have like museums and the zoo combined.
00:36:47.980 I've never really seen something like that.
00:36:49.660 And so the entrance ticket price was so cheap compared to...
00:36:55.180 Playgrounds too, I'm being told.
00:36:56.800 Very many playgrounds.
00:36:58.160 By our Human Events Daily junior producer.
00:37:00.360 Do you want to come over here, junior producer?
00:37:02.720 Let's get our junior producers over here.
00:37:04.900 Come on, junior producers.
00:37:06.000 Come on, all the way in.
00:37:08.660 Come on.
00:37:09.780 And even producer Bulldog is here as well.
00:37:12.960 So it was so cheap for a family of four to visit a zoo in Hungary.
00:37:19.560 We paid about $45 for four of us, which was amazing.
00:37:25.520 Really good surprise price-wise.
00:37:27.780 There was some fights with the monkey bars earlier this week.
00:37:33.320 But AJ, you won, right?
00:37:35.240 Yeah.
00:37:35.780 You won that fight?
00:37:37.580 Let me ask you, boys.
00:37:39.080 And Jack-Jack is here as well.
00:37:41.020 It was very cheap.
00:37:42.640 But Jack-Jack, let me ask you.
00:37:43.680 Did you have a great time at that zoo?
00:37:45.380 Yes, I did.
00:37:46.320 Oh, yeah?
00:37:46.940 What did you like about the zoo?
00:37:47.860 So I like the giraffes, the museums.
00:37:54.980 I like that exercise thing when the skeleton was doing it with me.
00:37:59.200 It was like...
00:37:59.820 There's a thing where there was a...
00:38:02.260 It's so interactive.
00:38:03.520 It's hard to explain.
00:38:04.260 But it's an interactive museum setup in Budapest where you even have the ability to ride a bike and hands-on.
00:38:16.320 So he was riding a bike, and there was a skeleton attached to the bike riding its own bike.
00:38:20.420 And you could power that skeleton, right?
00:38:22.520 And it would move when you moved.
00:38:24.500 Pretty cool.
00:38:25.960 AJ, what did you like about that zoo?
00:38:28.820 To see these bulls at the zoo.
00:38:31.880 The bulls at the zoo?
00:38:33.080 Yeah, the African bulls.
00:38:34.300 That was pretty cool, wasn't it?
00:38:36.360 And the wildebeest.
00:38:37.540 Tigers.
00:38:38.100 Tigers and lions.
00:38:39.580 And did Bulldog have a good time at the zoo?
00:38:41.540 Yeah.
00:38:41.980 You guys might remember, this is the Bulldog Otto from PragerU Kids.
00:38:46.320 And AJ takes him absolutely everywhere.
00:38:48.900 He's probably the most traveled bulldog in the world.
00:38:51.220 He just calls him Bulldog.
00:38:52.680 So, Sevilla, tell me a little bit else.
00:38:55.280 As a mom, right?
00:38:56.340 As a Maha mom, you've been talking about how it's so family-friendly here.
00:39:01.640 And have you really experienced that in terms of parks, child facilities, everything you've been seeing around town?
00:39:07.920 I really have.
00:39:09.280 And something I haven't really noticed to you, I haven't had a chance, is that yesterday we went to the island here.
