00:00:54.320A jury in California has just found tech giants Meta and YouTube liable in a landmark social media addiction trial.
00:01:01.440That case centered around a lawsuit accusing both Meta and YouTube of using addictive practices that hurt minors.
00:01:08.640The acting head of the TSA issued a warning today about public safety as security officers continue to work without pay at America's airports and in many cases are calling out sick.
00:01:18.880And now Sid Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife are set to return to a New York courtroom today.
00:01:23.820The Trump administration alleges the couple has been conspiring with violent cartels for 25 years.
00:01:29.040But Maduro says he's innocent and a decent man, and he and his wife Celia Flores pleaded not guilty to federal charges, including narco-terrorism.
00:01:37.460Now Maduro says he can't afford to pay for his legal defense.
00:01:40.660Tonight, Iran flatly rejecting President Trump's 15-point plan to end the war,
00:01:45.860insisting no negotiations are taking place, despite what the president says.
00:01:50.140Sources tell us the two sides are trading messages, using Pakistan as a go-between.
00:01:55.360Iran aware Trump's overtures come as he surges military forces to the region.
00:01:59.920Up to 1,500 American paratroopers from the Army's 82nd Airborne Division now on the way.
00:02:05.900Until we have done everything in our power to bring the United States to its knees,
00:05:41.880It had been surprising about four years ago.
00:05:44.440We saw a woman in the Netherlands trying to opt for assisted suicide based on depression.
00:05:49.200We've seen this start to spring up in Canada,
00:05:51.700people opting for suicide based on, you know, seasonal depressive disorder, things like this.
00:05:58.040And I think we are living in a Western culture that no longer values life, that puts death over life.0.68
00:06:05.760It does it in countless situations, not just euthanasia, but abortion and transgender as well.0.75
00:06:11.560And also the deprioritization of family and motherhood and fatherhood.
00:06:16.300And it's really a devastating situation that we're in now where people can just opt to have the state kill them instead of figure out how to deal with their lives, instead of trust in God.
00:06:29.780These are the wages of a materialistic, deterministic, secular culture.
00:12:15.600some lives over a young girl's life and you were mentioning before the break a little bit i know
00:12:21.520you've done so much work into this emerging and very disturbing trend denmark the scandinavian
00:12:28.700countries and also in canada where it's it's made is is what it's called up there the state enforced
00:12:34.340and and again these are and i want to separate this out from from cases of say a terminal cancer
00:12:41.980patient or someone who is terminally ill with some other issue, we're seeing abject, it
00:12:50.400seems to me, widespread application of these for, what was it, economic distress and depression?
00:12:56.540One man requested MAID because he was homeless.
00:13:00.720Another woman who asked for a ramp to be installed in her home to assist her with her wheelchair
00:13:05.720was offered assisted suicide instead of a ramp because the wait was too long.
00:13:10.560And all of it is absolutely insane, and I think Americans need to know that it's coming to America.
00:13:16.740It's not necessarily at a federal level yet, but assisted suicide is certainly something that has taken hold in a number of states, including Vermont and others, and it's on the ballot in other states.
00:13:28.640I know that West Virginia recently passed a constitutional amendment saying that euthanasia would never be permitted in the state, which was something that I think is very important, and more states should go with that.
00:14:04.520Breakdown for me and for the CPAC audience that's here.
00:14:08.260If you believe in pro-life, if you believe in the value of life, we have to understand that, yes, it is abortion, but it's also this assisted suicide as well.0.59
00:14:18.220When so many people in these countries are signing up for it, and these are tests, these are test cases because they want to bring this to our shores, to the United States.
00:14:29.280We must ban assisted suicide in 50 out of 50 of the United States in this country.0.72
00:14:36.320And yes, even at the federal level, I would support a ban against it.0.98
00:14:39.560I don't know if we'd get it there, but I would certainly support it.
00:20:23.240Yeah, well, predictably, out in Portland, Antifa basically operates with total impunity.
00:20:29.920We were trying to see if justice was possible out there.
00:20:32.580It was somebody that literally was attacking me on the street.
00:20:35.800And, of course, the verdict ended up being not guilty on all counts, totally quittal, even though it's on video, being attacked in the street.
00:20:44.120It's crazy, and it's—I don't know if there's any way to save cities like that at this point.
00:20:49.320Ladies and gentlemen, we need to do federal indictments against all of Antifa.
00:20:53.920We need to take this up to federal trials.
00:20:56.120And I'll tell you something right now.
00:20:57.600If that doesn't work with the juries, then I say we take them to military tribunals.
00:21:11.040And I cannot think of a guest that would be any more appropriate to have on the Human Events Daily Show today.
00:21:17.400to have here we've interviewed him before but never so before in person ladies and gentlemen
00:21:23.340as a surprise for all of you here at CPAC Dallas we have straight from Minneapolis Minnesota
00:21:31.940the commander at large of border patrol ladies and gentlemen Greg Bovino joins us now on stage
00:21:42.060The commander against all of the forces of ICE that were going against ICE, against them, the Antifa, the illegals, the greatest member of Border Patrol, the greatest leader that we've seen.
00:23:27.580I had to move it to two, so now it's two.
00:23:29.600I'm up to two, so you got more than you shared.
00:23:32.760But tell us what they get wrong so much
00:23:35.500about you and your men and your operations and your work? Sure. You know, I think they discount
00:23:40.160what is really happening there with the Border Patrol, that interior enforcement mission.
00:23:45.840It is about mass deportations. It is about restoring America to what America is. Make
00:23:52.380no bones about it. They don't want you to know the truth. They don't, they'll obfuscate, they'll lie
00:23:58.400about those grand Border Patrol agents, those grand ICE agents out there putting it on the line.
00:24:04.200And I tell you what, it's reprehensible the way they do that.
00:24:08.740So you've got the very best out there putting it all on the line, and they discount that.
00:24:14.120And I remember you saying this the last time you were on, that it would be so much safer if you didn't have to deal with these sanctuary policies
00:24:22.960that your men could then be able to go into a controlled environment, whether it be a prison or whether it be a courthouse
00:24:29.700or whether it be some place where people already checked, where it's already safe,
00:24:34.200you can make the transfer there, but it's because of these sanctuary areas
00:24:37.880that then you have to go above and beyond and put, by the way, yourselves at risk
00:24:42.560and potentially family members or others at risk.
00:24:46.540That's because of those policies, isn't it?
00:24:57.160Remember, that job's legal, ethical, and moral.
00:24:59.700We've done that job for, in the Board of Trustees for 101 years now.
00:25:03.760And why it's stopping now at this point in time and how these sanctuary policies and cities and states have came about is, it's really, it's gumming the works up.
00:25:15.720You know, Jack, I want to add this in here.
00:25:17.660I've been, you know, walking around with Commander Bovino out here.
00:25:21.000the amount of support that he has gotten, both, you know, talking to young people, older folks,
00:25:29.160and a man just came up to us, I won't say his name, but it was a black man from Los Angeles
00:25:35.180that came up and just wanted to genuinely thank the commander for the work that he did
00:25:41.100allowing kids in Los Angeles to walk the streets again and not have to worry about being,
00:25:47.960or as much worry about, you know, being eliminated by an illegal alien.
00:25:53.700And you could tell he was genuinely appreciative,
00:25:56.420and people don't see that side of things.
00:25:58.520So I've seen he's been getting mobbed out here.
00:26:00.540Mobbed in a good way, not in the way you're used to.
00:26:02.980You don't need any gas for this crowd, I hope, by the way.
00:26:06.380Unless, I don't know, you might have a couple of Steve Bannon fans.0.97
00:29:37.100We're here at CPAC 2026, incredible Patriot Convention that's being put on right in ground zero.
00:29:45.100And when we look at the future of this country, of course, it is Texas that is going to be ground zero.
00:29:50.640The establishment versus the grassroots, Cornyn versus Paxton.
00:29:53.920By the way, I hope everyone in this room within the sound of my voice and everybody back home knows that Human Events Daily is always and has always been proudly on the side of Ken Action Paxton.
00:30:07.100And Ken Paxton is going to be one of the greatest senators in Texas history when he wins not
00:30:14.120only the primary, but also the general election against the fake and phony Christian James0.92
00:30:20.540Tallarico, the blasphemous, heretical James Tallarico, I might add.0.91
00:30:26.220He is going to dominate him because God is on the side.
00:30:33.700Folks, we understand as well that as we sit, and I said this on Fox News last night, and I'll say it to you again, that as we sit here, we know that elements of the 82nd Airborne are making their way, they're winging their way towards potential action in Karg Island.
00:30:51.720And we said this on the show yesterday, I said it last night on Fox, that we could see within 72 hours the 82nd Airborne making a combat jump into Karg Island.
00:31:05.300And so, of course, our prayers are with our fighting men.
00:31:07.800Our prayers are with them should President Trump make that momentous decision to send troops into harm's way to conduct a raid on Karg Island.
00:31:19.080We also hear, by the way, that J.D. Vance may be tasked and may be sent, as Judy calls,
00:31:25.540and dispatched to Pakistan to head over there to potentially lead up negotiations and talks
00:31:32.120with the Iranians live there on the ground.
00:31:36.180And so, of course, human events, we are going to be tracking that.
00:31:38.340We'll be back here tomorrow at the same time.
00:31:40.920I'm going to be on main stage in just a little bit of time.
00:32:00.760The very first question I asked Todd Blanche, Jeffrey Epstein.
00:32:06.420The Epstein files, the videotapes, the case.
00:32:10.100Is the case still open on Jeffrey Epstein?
00:32:14.440I put that and submitted it directly to the Deputy Attorney General, and he is going to be on here in just a few moments' time answering that very question, as well as questions about Tyler Robinson, questions about Antifa, and questions about denaturalization.
00:32:31.100So here we go. I'm going to throw to that our interview with Todd Blanche.
00:32:35.340All right, Jack Posobiec, we are here at CPAC and very honored to be sitting down with the Deputy Attorney General, Todd Blanche. Todd, thank you so much for joining us here.
00:32:43.260Thank you for having me, Jack. It's good to be here.
00:32:45.020So when your team reached out, one of the first things that they said that you wanted to get into was, of course, the most viral story over the past year, the Jeffrey Epstein case.
00:32:55.500And this is something where, obviously, my listeners have been looking at this for years.
00:33:00.700You've been all over this for 11 months.
00:33:06.460what is your i'll ask you know without getting into too many details at first what is your sense
00:33:11.640of where that case is do you feel like enough has been done or would you like to see more
00:33:16.420look i what we have said since day one is that if there is any victim or witness that is that can
00:33:24.840come forward and give us any evidence that we can use to charge we welcome it and and that's
00:33:30.120something that the attorney general has said that's something director patella said and i've
00:33:33.960said it as well. And the challenge that we have, the challenge that we have is that everybody in
00:33:39.600this country and a lot of people throughout the world expect that there should be new investigations
00:33:45.240and new charges brought. And we want that too. We want to be able to vindicate the rights of
00:33:51.540the victims that were harmed and destroyed, had their lives destroyed by Epstein. But the challenge
00:33:59.160there is we need evidence and we have to be able to prove it. And so I love what President Trump
00:34:02.860did when he signed the Transparency Act. He basically said, let's just get everything out
00:34:07.640there. And remember, by law, we were not allowed to release that information. So the reason why
00:34:12.580it wasn't released until this year is because there were laws and there were judges in New York
00:34:16.860and Florida that had protective orders in place. And so we weren't allowed to release all those
00:34:21.400emails and all that information that's now been released. It's now released. Everybody can look
00:34:26.180at it. Members of Congress, Republicans or Democrat, can go and look at anything they want
00:34:31.040unredacted to make sure we redacted the right things and and so we we're hopeful that this
00:34:36.800hopefully brings an end to the suspicion maybe not all the suspicion but to the suspicion around
00:34:42.480whether we're hiding anything because we are not and and allows us to go on to prosecuting to the
00:34:47.360extent we need to or go on to the rest of our of our work because when when you look at this and
00:34:52.660and i can understand why people have been frustrated i'm sure you can as well yes with with the pace
00:34:57.140of things here. This is something that happened. I mean, his death was seven years ago at this
00:35:01.100point, almost. And we're now only now finally getting to start to see some of this stuff
00:35:06.320because of this release that you say. So many people, high profile individuals have suffered,
00:35:12.060we'll say, reputational damage. Bill Gates, Larry Summers, Reid Hoffman, for example,
00:35:18.080and a myriad of others that people, Les Wexner, that people can think of.
00:35:21.880The president of the World Economic Forum had to resign over this.
00:35:25.900So you can understand why when people look at this, and not to mention the U.K., Prince Andrew, former Prince Andrew, the U.K. ambassador to the U.S., that you can understand why people, when they see those names, what would you say to them to say, why aren't we seeing criminal proceedings against high-profile individuals like those?
00:35:43.560It's a great question. And yes, I think the Attorney General, Director Patel, myself, of course, we understand people's frustration because for years, nothing was done. I mean, think about this. The first prosecution was done during the Bush years. Okay. And then President Trump and Trump 45 prosecuted Epstein again. And then Maxwell after he died. And then nothing was done for four years.
00:36:09.720And so now people are saying, why aren't you doing something? It's 2025, 2026. And we're talking about conduct that took place in the 90s and early 2000s for the most part. And so, yes, I everybody has said from day one, this should have been handled much differently for years and years and years and wasn't.
00:36:25.960And as far as your question about these famous or these recognizable names that are having to step down from boards or leave their posts teaching Prince Andrew, if you look at the reasons why in each of those cases, at least that I've seen, it's not because they were caught doing something criminal.
00:36:43.540So it's not as if there was a video of any of them abusing a minor.
00:36:47.820It's just because of their relationship with Epstein.
00:36:50.160and so we'll work listen people have said and it's being floated around x and it's a lie that
00:36:57.480i have said that we're done investigating i have never said that and i will never say that what i
00:37:02.680have said is what i said to you a minute ago which is that the fbi possesses those files now the
00:37:08.520whole world has them we need witnesses we need victims we need people that if we're missing
00:37:14.460something if there's somebody out there that abused women whether it was 1990 because there's
00:37:19.400no statute of limitations, assuming they're underage, or as late as 2017, before Epstein was
00:37:24.840investigated, come forward, bring us your proof, and we'll investigate it. Director Patel has said
00:37:30.080he will talk to any victim. His agents will work any case. And that's what we've said from day one.
00:37:37.540So look, I understand the frustration. We've been working extremely hard to be as transparent as we
00:37:44.300can with the American people, and we didn't get everything right. We didn't. Part of that was
00:37:48.600because the law didn't let us release things.
00:41:48.840When you have these large groups of individuals all show up putting on the same masks, wearing the same shirts at the same location, all given the same umbrellas,
00:41:58.060and then given a directive to go inject fear and terror in our federal law enforcement.
00:42:26.340When we see our men and women in blue, federal law enforcement officers, being assaulted and tormented like we're in a third world country, the fact that everybody in this country isn't enraged at that is shocking and sad, but we're enraged.
00:42:41.860And so we're doing something about it.
00:42:43.560Well, on the domestic terrorism front and sort of these organizations, and as you know, that there's this criminal case that's open right now and is still ongoing, not at the federal level, but at the state level in Utah, and that's the murder of Charlie Kirk.
00:42:58.960and this is something obviously i know the doj has looked into it charlie had you know relationships
00:43:04.920with so many people in the admin and for people who are looking at that when they question these
00:43:11.560links to potential groups who seem to have prior knowledge that this was going to take place tweets
00:43:17.680that are up uh songs that had been released and just a lot of chatter around that utah event prior
00:43:24.560to 910. Are you able to tell us if that's something that either the Tiger teams or anyone
00:43:29.920at the federal level is digging into? So here's what I'll say. You're right that Charlie was loved
00:43:36.000by everybody from President Trump on down to Director Patel, the Attorney General, myself. I
00:43:44.040was in the Oval Office with Charlie and the President a few weeks before he was assassinated.
00:44:06.800And so the rhetoric out there that suggests that we're not just because there isn't an answer
00:44:10.900that is satisfying or just because there isn't something public,
00:44:14.500people have to appreciate criminal cases are very important the cause of justice for erica
00:44:21.780and for all of us is extremely important and the federal government it's of course in our interest
00:44:28.180to do everything we can to find out everything that anybody knows about that and and so yeah
00:44:32.420we're doing that and and we won't stop doing it and we have been doing it and we're working um
00:44:37.380we we stay in contact with the state prosecutors who are are doing a great job um are you we're
00:44:43.520are you confident then in the case against tyler robinson look i want to be very careful not to
00:44:49.360mess up their case by commenting on it because i as a prosecutor that public statements by another
00:44:54.900prosecutor can be damaging but i let me put it this way if there was any question about our
00:44:59.600confidence level um the attorney general the president myself the vice president director cash
00:45:05.440would not stand for that understood and obviously it's an it's an active case charlie's a very close
00:45:11.040friend of mine, and I appreciate the level of openness that everyone from the DOJ, the
00:45:16.040FBI, et cetera, has had with Turning Point USA and with the family to be able to answer
00:45:20.680questions, and of course, you don't want to get ahead of your skis because this does
00:45:24.260go to trial later this year, but I certainly appreciate that, and I know we have a short
00:45:28.240time today, but one piece I wanted to get into that actually your office had flagged
00:45:31.720for us was, you know, you mentioned how these Antifa groups were going after the ICE operations
00:45:39.020over at DHS. But one piece where DOJ has come in recently that I've seen is an uptick. To me,
00:45:45.380it looks like an uptick in a new tactic of denaturalization and denaturalization of it
00:45:51.400looks to be fraudsters. We've seen this a couple of times now already. Is that a new tactic where
00:45:56.040DOJ is able to come in and look at these cases, which I understand it goes sort of between DHS,
00:46:01.320DOJ, and Department of State, because you're looking at naturalization, where you can come
00:46:06.160in and denaturalize in these cases where they find that fraud has been committed yes i mean
00:46:11.060you're right it's and it hasn't been used a lot and it's a perfect example of working together
00:46:16.020with the entire executive the state department dhs ice customs and then the department of justice
00:46:21.780defending it and we just announced i think yesterday that we we have three guys who are
00:46:26.860fraudsters they lied on their citizenship applications and we're taking away this that
00:46:29.880we're denaturalizing they're getting deported and that that's something that we are going to
00:46:34.060aggressively do, aggressively do going forward. I think both DHS has said that publicly.
00:46:40.480Secretary Rubio has been yelling it from the rooftops that for a long time, that it is a
00:46:44.940privilege. It is a privilege to be in this country. It is not a right. It is not a right. It is a
00:46:50.140privilege. And if you come in here and lie to get citizenship, if you commit fraud, of course,
00:46:56.680we should not let those people stay. And that's, again, not a Republican or Democrat issue. That's0.84
00:47:01.860an american issue and so yes we're we're working hard on that we had three that we did yesterday
00:47:06.780um and and we're working with dhs and state and we'll continue that yeah are there any high profile
00:47:12.520ones that you're able to let us know about that can't let you work on okay but look i don't think
00:47:17.320here's what i'll say about that um it doesn't matter who you are i don't do i do not assume
00:47:21.860that because you are high profile that you are protected because our laws are our laws and
00:47:26.660And we cannot have people who committed fraud to get citizenship.
00:47:30.620That's a terrible fact if we allow you to stay here.
00:47:33.440Well, and this is one of the reasons that President Trump won the election was because of the abuse of the system of justice.
00:47:38.560And it seemed like there was, as you well know from the trial, that it seemed as though there was a different set of laws for the privileged elite and then one set for everybody else.
00:47:48.460And that's why he won, because the American people said, we're not going to stand for that.
