00:00:40.040 A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran.
00:00:46.960 This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.
00:00:50.400 Christ is king.
00:00:51.980 All right, Jack Posobiec.
00:00:52.840 We're here in the Executive Eisenhower office building at the White House complex.
00:00:57.860 And we're here sitting down with Alina Haba, who is currently the counselor to the president.
00:01:02.720 But I hear you may be wearing a new hat.
00:01:05.620 Yes.
00:01:06.220 Can you walk us through that?
00:01:07.100 So you've now been appointed.
00:01:08.640 And we saw the Trump, President Trump's post about this, the interim U.S. attorney for New Jersey.
00:01:14.040 Yep.
00:01:14.540 I'm really excited.
00:01:15.960 Interim U.S. attorney for the District of New Jersey.
00:01:17.920 So the chief law enforcement, prosecutor, chief fed out there.
00:01:23.320 Chief fed.
00:01:23.940 You're going to be a fed.
00:01:24.900 It's funny because in New Jersey, as opposed to a state like New York, there's sometimes multiple USAs.
00:01:30.500 Right.
00:01:30.820 New Jersey has one.
00:01:31.940 So I have the whole state.
00:01:33.780 And I'm really excited.
00:01:35.040 I'm going to be starting next week.
00:01:36.460 I mean, you're not going to have a lot to do.
00:01:38.240 I mean, there's no criminals in New Jersey, right?
00:01:39.960 Of course not.
00:01:40.240 No, never, never.
00:01:41.060 I was so excited to see the MS-13 gang leader get arrested and Tom Holman did a stand-up job with that with Pam and everybody at DOJ.
00:01:48.420 But I just can't wait to go do it myself and get our streets cleaned up.
00:01:53.940 New Jersey's been my home.
00:01:55.000 I was born and raised there.
00:01:56.540 I'm raising my children in New Jersey and I can't wait to get in there and just fix it.
00:02:01.420 It needs a lot of fixing.
00:02:02.580 Well, as a Pennsylvania guy, I have to say, New Jersey definitely needs a lot of fixing.
00:02:06.800 It's a great state.
00:02:07.860 I think it's just, you know, when I was looking at the portfolio of things, I was, you know,
00:02:12.960 I'm not sure why there's less criminal cases open in the DOJ right now than there are civil.
00:02:18.220 That shouldn't be the case.
00:02:19.320 We need to get crime off, out.
00:02:21.680 We need to start prosecuting criminals.
00:02:23.760 And that's what I plan to do.
00:02:25.320 You know, and when, so what, what kind of, you know, obviously when, when this opportunity came up,
00:02:30.960 what did you have to weigh looking at obviously your position in the White House versus this?
00:02:35.020 Well.
00:02:35.320 Sounds like you wanted to go home.
00:02:36.740 I did not actually, I honestly, I did.
00:02:39.520 I was so happy here and it was surprising.
00:02:42.840 I don't mean you wanted to go home from the White House, but that there's that, that appeal
00:02:46.580 of being able to clean up home.
00:02:48.640 For sure.
00:02:49.760 I think I, I, I asked a lot of questions.
00:02:52.240 I spoke to the president and I just asked a lot of questions.
00:02:56.080 It was his idea.
00:02:56.900 He's like, I think you should do this.
00:02:58.480 We need strong people to, in the DOJ.
00:03:02.060 We need, New Jersey is obviously one of the places that he calls home.
00:03:05.880 So it's an important state on many levels.
00:03:08.240 And, um, he's like, you're a Jersey girl.
00:03:10.400 Like you, who better to do it?
00:03:12.480 And I said, I don't want to leave the White House.
00:03:14.860 It makes me sad.
00:03:15.620 He's like, you're not leaving.
00:03:16.460 You can come back whenever you want.
00:03:17.760 Just go do, you're going to do a standup job.
00:03:19.640 And I'm really excited.
00:03:20.760 Honestly, it's such an honor.
00:03:21.540 But when he asks you to do something, when he asks you to do something.
00:03:23.160 But it's an honor.
00:03:23.860 I mean, what a great job as an attorney who's practiced for the better of 20 years.
00:03:27.660 I'm honored to be a U.S. attorney.
00:03:30.460 And, and him and I have gone through war and, and hell and back.
00:03:33.520 And, uh, it's really just such a privilege.
00:03:36.760 Yeah.
00:03:36.880 It is.
00:03:37.260 And, and by the way, you know, we were just talking a little bit before, but this,
00:03:40.000 there's been, uh, uh, quite a few interesting characters that have had that seat before.
00:03:43.520 Haven't they?
00:03:44.240 Yep.
00:03:44.780 Governor, uh, Christie had the seat.
00:03:47.120 Um, there've been two Supreme court justices that have had that seat.
00:03:50.500 It's a, it's a very powerful, um, impressive job.
00:03:54.280 It's amazing.
00:03:55.180 It's, there's only one USA, like I said, and you have a very large, uh, amount of control
00:04:02.100 over, you know, ATF, FBI and all that in the state of New Jersey.
00:04:06.300 And to work for Pam Bondi is just such a gift.
00:04:09.560 Uh, Pam, Todd, Emil, they're all my friends and I've been working with them for years anyway.
00:04:15.300 So this is the easiest transition and my kids, I get to see my kids.
00:04:19.960 So that's an added benefit.
00:04:21.640 Of course, of course, of course.
00:04:23.360 When it, when it comes down to it though, it feels like the DOJ for so many years now
00:04:28.660 has been, I'm still floored by you saying that, that there are more civil cases open
00:04:33.000 than criminal.
00:04:33.680 Yeah.
00:04:33.820 That's disturbing.
00:04:34.440 It shouldn't be like that.
00:04:35.380 And, and, you know, prior to this, of course, how many of those criminal cases were, you
00:04:39.160 know, J six cases and it's, you know, some, you know, somebody's praying on the steps of
00:04:43.000 a, you know, pro-life clinic or an abortion clinic and they're a pro-lifer or something.
00:04:46.700 I mean, that's going to be a priority to look at for me.
00:04:49.140 It's not, these are not the type of people when I hear ATF, when I hear FBI, when I hear
00:04:54.700 these organizations, DEA, et cetera, that you want to actually, SEC, uh, that you want to
00:05:01.120 actually be cleaning up the country.
00:05:02.840 Yeah, no, I'm, I mean, I'm going to be going after every single thing in the president's
00:05:06.700 directive, violent crime is first.
00:05:09.480 Uh, the president has made it clear illegal immigration is important to us.
00:05:14.000 We need to clean up our borders.
00:05:15.180 We need to clean up our cities.
00:05:17.080 Um, but safety and security and, and what, what, whatever my job covers, I will make sure
00:05:23.460 that to just crush it.
00:05:24.900 I'm not going to be weak as anybody could imagine.
00:05:27.580 I'll be really hard on crime.
00:05:28.760 I don't think New Jersey has had that for some time.
00:05:31.580 So just looking at some of the cases that haven't been open, that should be open.
00:05:35.600 Some of the things that I've seen and anybody who, who is on social media, I've been reading.
00:05:41.480 There've been a lot of people from New Jersey that when I was announced, we're pointing
00:05:44.760 out things in New Jersey that bothered them.
00:05:46.580 Keep it coming.
00:05:47.480 I love seeing it.
00:05:48.340 What are they saying?
00:05:49.000 What are people saying?
00:05:49.600 I got a lot on the mayor of Patterson's, uh, moves and some of the things that he's represented.
00:05:55.640 Those are concerning.
00:05:56.520 Um, you know, we are not sanctuary city.
00:05:59.460 We're not going to have sanctuary cities that that's just not what we do.
00:06:03.220 Uh, the president has made that clear.
00:06:05.000 He's made it clear that if you have DEI policies in your schools and you have funding, you will
00:06:09.880 lose that funding.
00:06:10.640 So I'm going to be checking in on that.
00:06:12.600 Um, and, and many other things, but number one, crime, drugs, gangs, uh, we have a lot
00:06:18.200 of that on the streets, especially where my offices are in Newark and Camden and, and,
00:06:22.480 uh, Trenton, I'll be, uh, you know, rotating through those offices.
00:06:26.920 And I can tell you that those are some of the most crime ridden cities in New Jersey.
00:06:30.280 And we got to clean it up.
00:06:31.420 Well, no, it's so sad because you go to parts and, you know, I grew up going to ocean city.
00:06:35.640 We went to Avalon, we went to sea isle.
00:06:37.560 We did all that.
00:06:38.240 Cause it's really about, you know, an hour from Philadelphia, uh, obviously the president
00:06:41.960 or the president has, uh, his history with Atlantic city as, as well.
00:06:45.660 And I, I can remember going to the AC boardwalk and it, and it actually being fun.
00:06:50.160 Right.
00:06:50.520 You know, I was, I was a kid, but I, you know, I couldn't gamble.
00:06:52.580 If you go down to Wildwood, it'd be great.
00:06:54.040 Those are all my, you know, memories of New Jersey.
00:06:57.980 And then of course, beating them every time we play football.
00:07:00.340 Um, but, but by the way, there are such beautiful parts of New Jersey, New Jersey that I want
00:07:05.240 back.
00:07:05.600 Yeah.
00:07:05.720 That's the New Jersey.
00:07:06.520 Everybody wants back.
00:07:07.420 It's, it's, uh, the single most highly populated state for its size.
00:07:10.920 We are a huge state in a very small amount of land.
00:07:15.200 And, um, it's important.
00:07:17.240 It's an important job.
00:07:18.320 We got to take care of the state or every state.
00:07:20.420 And it takes, you know, everybody in a role is USA.
00:07:22.980 Anybody who's in any sort of power, uh, position to clean up and make us safer needs to take
00:07:29.480 that seriously and see it as a gift, which is what I do.
00:07:32.060 Um, working with the DOJ now, I'm, I'm really excited.
00:07:35.220 Well, and so many times too, is you'll go to these offices and I have that, and you'll
00:07:40.220 talk to the guys that actually do the job.
00:07:41.960 They know where the bad guys are.
00:07:43.200 Oh, they know.
00:07:43.720 They know exactly where the worst of the worst are.
00:07:45.400 And, and, and you find out, you said, well, why don't, why don't you do anything about
00:07:48.320 it?
00:07:48.400 It's like cash.
00:07:48.980 And they said, they said, oh, well, we, we got the, we went after the top 10.
00:07:52.740 Most money said, how many did you get 10 out of 10?
00:07:55.160 What do you mean you got all 10?
00:07:56.680 What were they doing before?
00:07:58.340 Well, that's the thing.
00:07:59.100 If you have poor leadership and poor direction, that's sometimes what can happen.
00:08:02.340 So, uh, I can assure the state of New Jersey that will not be happening under my watch.
00:08:06.360 I'm, I'm really so excited.
00:08:08.640 I've already been having meetings.
00:08:10.360 I've been speaking to, um, Marshall's office and chiefs of police and, uh, head prosecutors
00:08:16.200 in certain counties that I've reached out to me in New Jersey that are excited for change
00:08:20.440 or excited for, uh, a rejuvenation of that state.
00:08:23.480 So I, I really hope to, to be a helping hand there.
00:08:26.220 Well, I think it's something that, and obviously I'm sure, uh, well, you know, I know you can't
00:08:30.280 talk elections, but we certainly saw the results last time around and New Jersey was very,
00:08:34.840 very close.
00:08:35.400 And I think that's something that with, with proper governance could potentially be a trend
00:08:40.780 that continues.
00:08:41.320 Yeah, I hope so.
00:08:42.700 I hope so.
00:08:43.160 We could turn New Jersey red.
00:08:44.600 I really do believe that.
00:08:45.780 Um, there's momentum right now.
00:08:47.880 Uh, president Trump's agenda is working.
00:08:49.800 The American people voted for it.
00:08:51.200 80 million people, people voted for it.
00:08:53.140 And I think New Jersey is absolutely close, uh, to getting there.
00:08:56.820 So hopefully while I'm there, I can help that cause.
00:08:59.460 And, um, you know, I'm not a political person in that role, but I can tell you that, um, the
00:09:05.140 one thing I just want to do is make it safer.
00:09:06.760 And, and once they see that our policies do work, they work kicking.
00:09:11.120 Kicking illegals out, kicking criminals out there that are acting as terrorists that
00:09:15.000 are hurting our people.
00:09:16.340 You know, there was a Newark cop that was killed a few weeks ago, paying attention to those
00:09:20.660 people and strengthening the men and women that are wearing uniforms.
00:09:24.100 We have to give them their power back.
00:09:26.180 And I think that they lost it for a period of time in this country.
00:09:29.620 So, uh, I can't wait to invigorate them and really have their backs.
00:09:33.280 Oh, the criminal element was given a message that they get free reign, that the, the crime
00:09:38.480 wave is, is, is allowed to happen.
00:09:40.980 And it's, it just has to stop.
00:09:42.480 And I think that's what people voted for.
00:09:43.960 I think that's the mandate.
00:09:45.100 And so I appreciate that you're, that this is exactly something that you're taking up.
00:09:47.880 It's a huge job.
00:09:48.680 It's not, it's not easy.
00:09:50.080 You didn't have to do this.
00:09:51.000 No, I did not.
00:09:51.900 I didn't have to come here either, but you know what?
00:09:53.900 It is the honor of a lifetime, serve my country and, and do it under president Trump.
00:09:57.700 It's just, what's better than this?
00:09:59.460 All right.
00:09:59.640 Last question.
00:10:00.260 Last question.
00:10:00.720 What's your beach in Jersey?
00:10:02.600 Oh, uh, Maniloking.
00:10:04.460 I used to go to Maniloking a lot.
00:10:06.300 That's where I grew up going up and down to Maniloking, but I was never really a Jersey
00:10:09.480 short girl.
00:10:10.280 What?
00:10:10.720 I was not.
00:10:11.560 Um, but I, you know, I live in the most beautiful part of New Jersey and I'm in Somerset
00:10:17.100 County.
00:10:17.420 I think it's gorgeous.
00:10:18.600 It's like forest country and there's land and it's very different than what people think.
00:10:22.980 Um, New Jersey is just gorgeous.
00:10:24.620 Yeah.
00:10:24.740 People go there and they say like, wait, this is New Jersey.
00:10:26.780 What do you mean?
00:10:27.300 No, I live in a beautiful place and I'm so glad that I got to be raised there and then
00:10:31.180 I'm going home.
00:10:31.940 I can't wait.
00:10:32.660 But yeah, Maniloking, I had to pick a beach.
00:10:34.700 All right.
00:10:35.120 That's where I'd be going.
00:10:35.860 Alina Hava.
00:10:36.540 Thanks, Seth.
00:10:36.880 God speak to you.
00:10:37.520 Thank you.
00:10:39.820 Want to say thank you, of course, to the White House, to the press team for bringing us in
00:10:44.200 today for arranging these interviews, giving us a behind the scenes inside look to what's
00:10:49.960 going on inside the White House.
00:10:51.420 This is a testament to how the Trump administration is now reaching out to new media, to new audiences.
00:10:58.120 And it's not about just us here about human events daily, but everyone that we go out
00:11:03.040 and touch as we share this information and tell the truth about what's going on behind
00:11:07.540 the scenes of the White House here for you in the confines of the incredible people's
00:11:13.140 house of the White House, really making it the people's house once more.
00:11:17.540 Ladies and gentlemen, as always, you have my permission to lay ashore.
