00:00:25.780 The Poso Daily Brief.
00:00:30.000 This is what happens when the fourth turning meets fifth generation warfare.
00:00:39.480 A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran.
00:00:46.080 This is Human Events with your host, Jack Poso.
00:00:49.780 There is a period of transition because what we're doing is very big.
00:00:55.180 We're bringing wealth back to America.
00:00:57.480 That's a big thing.
00:00:58.380 And there are always periods of, it takes a little time.
00:01:04.640 It takes a little time.
00:01:06.000 A judge has blocked the deportation of a pro-Palestinian activist arrested by ICE over the weekend, at least for now.
00:01:13.740 There's a court hearing scheduled for Mahmoud Khalil tomorrow.
00:01:17.140 This guy apparently was a mastermind of those very things.
00:01:20.120 When the gnashing of teeth and the ripping of clothes and the people screaming at me, they were doing that.
00:01:24.600 They disrupted the campus.
00:01:25.760 They were threatening physical violence of their fellow students.
00:01:28.660 I'm going to say this clearly.
00:01:29.560 If you were on a student visa and you're in America and you're an aspiring young terrorist who wants to prey upon your Jewish classmates, you're going home.
00:01:36.480 High casualties are reported in Syria with at least 1,000 civilians killed by militant Islamists in the country's west in Latakia, Hama, and Homs.
00:01:46.100 They murdered our religious minorities, including women and children.
00:01:50.440 Overseas news.
00:01:51.160 The U.S. and Ukraine began talks in Saudi Arabia this morning about ending the war with Russia.
00:01:56.360 Just hours earlier, Kiev launched what sure appears to be its largest drone attack on Russia since Vladimir Putin's invasion.
00:02:04.080 Russian officials say they shot down hundreds of drones, but three people were killed.
00:02:08.160 18 others hurt.
00:02:10.020 Joe Biden left this country in an economic disaster.
00:02:13.520 Real wages declined by one and a half percent under Joe Biden.
00:02:16.940 And as we all know, and this administration continues to combat, prices soared more than 20 percent under Joe Biden because of his reckless spending and economic policies.
00:02:27.080 So we are in a period of transition from that economic nightmare under a president who had no idea what he was doing, never held a private sector job in his life, into a golden age of American manufacturing under a businessman and a dealmaker-in-chief in President Donald J. Trump.
00:02:43.620 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily Live Washington, D.C.
00:02:48.340 Today is March 11th, 2025, and O'Dominey, I want to go now to Brian Glenn there at the White House.
00:02:55.240 Brian, a bit of a dust-up between the AP reporter and Caroline Levitt there.
00:03:01.840 Yeah, it seemed like a little bit of friction there evolved after the AP reporter was questioning these tariffs and kind of, I guess, Trump's ability to, you know, economically deal with this problem.
00:03:16.460 And it seems like the overly educated media that we have here in D.C. seems to have an economics degree from Harvard, and apparently they are smarter than the president.
00:03:27.660 Look, there's a long-term plan in place.
00:03:30.700 Caroline Levitt said that and actually said, you know what, I'm a little insulted that I would even be questioned not only herself but also President Trump's ability to deal with these tariffs.
00:03:40.600 Well, he, I mean, this guy, this guy, yeah, his name is Josh Boak, he's a, he's a weasel, he snapped at Caroline Levitt, claims, I've paid tariffs and you never have.
00:03:54.020 And yet, you look at his career, and we pulled up his, his LinkedIn, he's been a reporter and a reporter and a reporter and a reporter and a reporter.
00:04:01.860 I worked with Bob Woodward for a while, and he doesn't even have a degree in economics.
00:04:06.360 So he has no business experience whatsoever, and yet is sitting there in the room snapping at her, obviously a huge breach of decorum of the White House.
00:04:16.400 She honored him with the ability, and again, the privilege, we know the AP has had some issues with their privileges in the White House recently.
00:04:24.720 This was how he responded with this emotional, I mean, he sounded hysterical.
00:04:29.000 He actually sounded like he was getting hysterical when he was asking the question.
00:04:32.760 Have you been able to check on him? Is he okay? Does he need a doctor?
00:04:36.360 Let me check back there. I'll dip back in the briefing room.
00:04:40.960 There was actually, Jack, a couple reporters that I felt like their questions were a little bit condescending in terms of whether or not these tariffs are best.
00:04:50.520 Jack, I just want to know, when are they going to ask questions of where the media has been the last four years when inflation was double jizzed across the board?
00:04:58.800 So many simple questions, Brian. We're coming up on a hard break. Can I hold you over for a minute just to finish this off?
00:05:03.920 We're just we're just up against this hard break. All right, guys, let's take the break.
00:05:07.220 We'll go right back to Brian here. Human Events Daily live at the White House.
00:05:11.540 America first truly means welcome to the second American Revolution.
00:05:25.060 All right, Jack, so we're back live here. Human Events Daily. Let's go right back to the White House.
00:05:30.060 We want to bring in now the Charlie Kirk Hour 3 Salem Radio Network.
00:05:35.440 Brian Glenn, you were we were cut off by the break on the last segment there.
00:05:39.240 You were just giving us your final recap of Caroline Levitt's little spark, a couple of sparks flying with the AP reporter there regarding that his his personal behavior at the end or at least during this this press conference.
00:05:51.420 Yeah. Yeah. And Jack, he wasn't alone. I really think this tariff issue has really sparked a lot of emotion from the reporters in this room.
00:06:01.100 Quite, quite frankly, it seems like they're more. Why? Why is this issue so personal?
00:06:05.900 I don't know. I don't know, Jack. But when you think about this, I want to ask them, where were they the last four years when we saw every consumable good possible go in double digit inflation?
00:06:17.180 Did they ask the Biden administration what they were doing to fix it? And all of a sudden, President Trump has a tariff plan, which will ultimately work out for this country.
00:06:25.680 They want to sit there and vilify it. I have no idea, Jack. It doesn't make sense.
00:06:29.940 But remind you, this is the overly educated, affluent and bored media of D.C. And that's just what they do.
00:06:36.740 Well, I think that's exactly right, Brian. Appreciate you being there.
00:06:40.060 Glad the weather is a little bit nicer than the last couple of rained out hits that that you've had there at the White House.
00:06:45.540 So I think I think you're really roughing it today. What's it like? 70 out? Amazing. Amazing stuff.
00:06:50.780 Thank you, man. 70 and sunny. Yeah. Thank you. 70 and sunny. It's rough. It's rough.
00:06:55.420 But you got your you've got your linens on. It's wonderful.
00:06:58.860 So, folks, I want to I want you to imagine what would happen if Doge opened the doors to Fort Knox and there wasn't the reported 147.3 million troy ounces of gold inside.
00:07:09.760 Even if it isn't most even if it is mostly the other consequences for the market would be astronomical.
00:07:15.180 Given the waste fraud and abuse Doge has found so far, does the idea sound farfetched to you?
00:07:19.640 Here is something else. J.P. Morgan Chase just moved four billion dollars worth of gold to New York.
00:07:27.520 They're not guessing. They know what's coming.
00:07:29.900 The U.S. relies heavily on Canada, Mexico for gold and silver.
00:07:33.540 And once these tariffs kick in, the price of gold will hit new records.
00:07:36.300 This is your moment. If you have money in stocks, a 401k or IRA, now is the time to move into gold and silver before the rush.
00:07:43.660 And plus, we all saw what just happened with the market this week.
00:07:46.320 Look, I partner with Allegiance Gold because they share my values, honesty, transparency, real patriotism.
00:07:51.840 They're here to make sure you make the best decision for your future.
00:07:55.080 Go to protectwithposo.com now and get up three years of free storage when you open your gold IRA.
00:08:00.620 Don't wait. Gold will never be this cheap again.
00:08:03.120 Go to protectwithposo.com. That's protectwithposo.com.
00:08:06.880 Let's get Mike Benz in here now, the executive director of the Foundation for Freedom Online.
00:08:11.380 Benz, look, when I look around the horn in terms of foreign policy and even some of this domestic cutting that's going on between Doge, USAID, Ukraine, Syria, pulling the chocks on all this stuff,
00:08:24.260 is it seems to me, it seems to me what President Trump and the new administration are doing.
00:08:30.240 Benz, are they committing blobicide?
00:08:34.280 Remeditated conspiracy to commit blobicide.
00:08:38.460 First degree blobicide.
00:08:39.880 In the court of the foreign policy establishment, but it's what's best for the American people.
00:08:46.180 Frankly, this should be a totally bipartisan issue.
00:08:48.940 It was Ben Rhodes, the deputy national security advisor for President Obama, who coined the phrase, the blob,
00:08:55.580 to describe the foreign policy establishment because the Obama administration felt like they could not shift course
00:09:02.360 from what the blob wanted to do, and they felt they were overpowered by it.
00:09:08.580 But when you actually come to cut the tentacles of it, you find the same Obama blob, the Bush blob.
00:09:15.500 It's all one big blob, and we ain't in it as the American people.
00:09:20.800 But that is, it's facing its first real moment of accountability, maybe in the history of its creation.
00:09:28.100 Well, so step back, let's dial back a little bit, because, you know, it's been these projects like Syria,
00:09:37.780 which is now on the chopping block as that country descends into absolute blood chaos, as we've called it here on the show.
00:09:43.740 Then you've got Rubio, he's down meeting with the Ukrainians in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia today,
00:09:49.540 although not meeting with President Zelensky, who is also there.
00:09:53.960 Zelensky, of course, reneging on the deal.
00:09:56.380 There's so much of the blob.
00:09:58.720 Let me ask you to come at it this way.
00:10:01.140 Why is it that so much of blob infrastructure is tied in foreign projects like this?
00:10:06.840 Well, it's because that's where the money is, and that's where the resources are.
00:10:11.060 And, you know, there's this, I come back to the Milton Friedman video about the pencil,
00:10:15.000 and he ties it back to the magic of the free market.
00:10:17.820 You know, no one in America can create a pencil,
00:10:21.020 because the gum comes from trees in Malaysia and the graphite comes from mines in South America.
00:10:27.180 And that's the same thing for every product.
00:10:31.220 Everything that we source requires, you know, cobalt from Congo or lithium from Argentina
00:10:38.080 or titanium from Ukraine or uranium from the Sahel in Africa.
00:10:46.220 So every big multinational corporation sources its critical resources from abroad.
00:10:53.620 They now, really since the 1990s, primarily do have their labor forces abroad.
00:11:01.320 This is the cheap labor that Trump is trying to onshore manufacturing so that America
00:11:06.880 becomes a heartland manufacturing center again.
00:11:11.000 We've seen some of the success of that, with hundreds of billions of dollars pouring in
00:11:16.400 from places like Japan and Saudi Arabia and other countries to try to build their plants
00:11:22.580 or their manufacturing in Arizona or in Ohio.
00:11:28.720 But the fact is, is you have foreign markets.
00:11:31.860 This is actually one of the, it's in USAID's charter, when if you listen closely with ears to hear it,
00:11:36.680 you will hear Senator Chris Murphy and other USAID Spock say this, that USAID,
00:11:42.460 part of its purpose is to secure export markets for foreign goods.
00:11:46.040 There's only 300 million people here in the U.S.
00:11:48.700 It's a big world out there.
00:11:49.920 There's 8 billion customers out globally.
00:11:53.120 And so you have the business interests globally.
00:11:55.840 Wait, wait, wait.
00:11:56.940 This almost sounds like this.
00:11:59.020 I'll pull an abandon right there, right?
00:12:00.560 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:12:01.580 Hold on.
00:12:02.240 This almost sounds like what you're talking about in terms of what President Trump is doing
00:12:06.340 with trade and restructuring the global system for the trade arrangement to actually benefit
00:12:11.840 the American people, as opposed to the American empire.
00:12:15.980 You're also saying that that's what USAID was doing.
00:12:19.000 They were expanding the American empire because the American empire was predicated on this idea
00:12:25.220 of global trade.
00:12:26.540 And I think people keep separating these issues.
00:12:29.120 But what you're saying is they're actually intrinsically connected.
00:12:32.700 And that's why President Trump has focused on them so directly here in his first 50 days in office.
00:12:38.780 They're completely interconnected.
00:12:40.460 They fit like a glove.
00:12:42.480 I mean, that is that is what part and parcel of the same beast.
00:12:46.100 And the fact is, if you are going to get rid of the soft power potential of something like USAID,
00:12:51.860 you're going to need to offset it by some other restructuring that that benefits American influence in turn.
00:12:59.740 And I think that's the purpose of these tariffs, which is that if companies manufacture within the United States,
00:13:05.140 then they don't get tariffed sending their goods here because they're already here.
00:13:10.580 And so this is why I think you see hundreds of billions of dollars pouring in so that companies,
00:13:16.160 if they want if they have foreign cars, they're going to manufacture them in Ohio.
00:13:20.020 If they have foreign trinkets or foreign chips, they're going to manufacture them in Arizona.
00:13:26.980 And this creates jobs for the Americans who live here, the American homeland.
00:13:32.760 This is actually what foreign countries were doing to induce U.S. multinational corporations.
00:13:38.160 This is how you have places like Microsoft and others who primarily have their advanced workforce
00:13:44.080 in China or in other foreign countries for cheap labor and then favorable tax or regulatory treatment.
00:13:53.960 Well, we're now doing that here, which is long overdue.
00:13:58.080 Frankly, this should have been done 30 years ago.
00:14:01.020 This is the sort of thing that America dominated the 20th century with its,
00:14:06.280 as Stephen Miller talks about, its manufacturing miracle in the heartland,
00:14:09.900 which then was carved up and became the Rust Belt after all the multinational corporations,
00:14:16.260 U.S. multinational corporations, saw that it was cheaper to simply go abroad for their labor force
00:14:24.020 and to have their commercial business oriented towards the great outside.
00:14:31.280 This is key. This is so key.
00:14:32.780 We're coming up on a hard break, Benz.
00:14:34.320 Can we hold you over?
00:14:35.100 Can you do one more segment with us?
00:14:36.420 Because people are seeing all the chaos right now in the stock market,
00:14:40.540 but what you're doing is unpacking the actual system we've been living under
00:14:46.240 and what President Trump is attempting to do to correct it.
00:14:49.960 Stay tuned. We'll be right back.
00:14:50.780 Human Events Daily.
00:14:55.820 And there are friends of mine, Jack Osovic.
00:15:00.040 Where's Jack?
00:15:00.960 Jack.
00:15:01.920 He's done a great job.
00:15:03.380 All right, folks, we're back.
00:15:06.740 Jack Osovic here live, Washington, D.C.
00:15:09.700 I want to welcome in our three, Charlie Kirk, Salem Radio Network, and his audience.
00:15:14.640 We're on with Mike Benz, the executive director of the Foundation for Freedom Online.
00:15:18.120 Benz, we're talking about how President Trump, through his actions,
00:15:21.920 people are looking at the military side and the trade side as if they're separate,
00:15:27.700 but in fact they're interconnected and intrinsically connected.
00:15:31.300 These are things whereby in the global empire is attempting to expand its markets,
00:15:37.960 but at the same time also expand its manufacturing centers and its resources centers as well as its commodity centers.
00:15:46.720 President Trump is turning all of that on its head, and that's why the globalists are lashing out.
00:15:52.820 You know, I was reading before, and I was even planning to say, you know, people are talking,
00:15:57.600 why is it Canada, Mexico, and China that are getting hit with all of the tariffs directly right out the gate?
00:16:03.360 Well, because that's where we outsourced our manufacturing to throughout the late 80s and early 1990s.
00:16:10.020 That's the underpinning. That's the global factory for China, the global factory of the world,
00:16:15.240 and then Canada and Mexico are the factories of the United States.
00:16:17.860 By bringing the factories back, yes, this will actually contract the global empire,
00:16:23.360 and that's what Wall Street and all of the multinationals are responding to,
00:16:27.880 plus why you're getting all of these globalist responses.
00:16:30.900 Benz, why is President Trump doing all this?
00:16:33.740 Well, it will consolidate it and make it happier and healthier.
00:16:38.260 See, we have, you can almost think of it as the reverse of the post-9-11 Bush edict,
00:16:45.180 that, you know, we need to get the terrorists there so that they don't come here.
00:16:50.080 There's sort of the inverse of that going on, which is that we want people to invest here,
00:16:54.520 so we don't need to go out and invest there.
00:16:57.120 So take, for example, Ukraine.
00:16:58.640 After the 2014 Crimea referendum and the Donbass breakaway, George Soros committed,
00:17:06.760 said that he would commit a billion dollars in investments in Ukraine.
00:17:10.660 The U.S.-Ukraine Chamber of Commerce has all these multinational corporations,
00:17:15.940 and they're investing, investing in Ukraine.
00:17:18.160 And that's only possible if the Pentagon spends hundreds of billions of dollars to win a war there.
00:17:25.940 That's only possible if the State Department, USAID, and the National Endowment for Democracy,
00:17:31.740 and the NGO Plex spends another tens of billions of dollars of U.S. taxpayer money over there.
00:17:37.660 Well, what would happen if we had manufacturing here in the U.S.
00:17:42.700 and the investment was made here in the U.S. to be able to produce the kind of products?
00:17:47.760 This is actually happening right now with the oil and gas story in Europe,
00:17:51.860 including in Ukraine and all the shale resources that Ukraine has in the Black Sea and in the Donbass.
00:17:58.720 We see Trump doing drill baby drill here in the U.S.
00:18:01.800 and trying to open up new drilling opportunities in Alaska.
00:18:06.100 The more we do here, the less we need to spend expensively abroad.
00:18:11.960 We're a country that's in a lot of debt.
00:18:13.660 Just a quick note on that, you know, people seem to, people overlook the fact all the time
00:18:18.580 that it wasn't just Ukrainian oligarchs that had Hunter Biden on the board of their company.
00:18:24.180 It was Ukrainian oil and gas oligarchs that had Hunter Biden on the board.
00:18:31.600 That's what started all of this way, way, way back, almost a decade ago.
00:18:36.260 It was always about oil and gas, and just so many people drove right past that
00:18:41.060 because they wanted to say Biden, Biden, Biden.
00:18:44.280 Right.
00:18:44.800 And if you remember, Biden did a pause of U.S. LNG exports.
00:18:50.060 Biden blocked the key pipelines from being able to be constructed or finished here in the U.S.
00:18:57.820 And so you had oil and gas companies who felt forced to rush into foreign markets,
00:19:02.660 which happened to, of course, personally profit the first family
00:19:06.740 and support the Biden White House's push of expansionism into foreign countries
00:19:12.660 because now they had all these big oil and gas investors who had no choice but to support that
00:19:18.620 because they were unable to do so here at home.
00:19:21.540 Trump is basically doing the inverse of that.
00:19:23.540 We don't need to spend hundreds of billions of dollars of taxpayer money to secure these foreign markets
00:19:29.140 or to build up a military force posture on the far reaches of the globe if we can secure investments at home.
00:19:38.160 And so this is the function of the tariffs and the trade war.
00:19:42.480 You have the situation, for example, with Canada and Mexico,
00:19:46.880 who provide something like 76% to 78% of their exports to U.S. markets,
00:19:54.280 whereas the U.S. only exports about 2% of its goods to Mexico and Canada.
00:20:02.740 And so you have this major trade imbalance.
00:20:05.080 We want everything to be done here because that means it's more jobs for Americans.
00:20:10.880 That's what allows people to buy houses.
00:20:13.000 That's what allows people to afford college.
00:20:14.880 And that's what the American dream is all about.

00:22:47.900 I want to go live now to Kevin Posobiec, who is at the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception, the National Shrine there down in Washington, D.C.
00:22:57.960 He's covering a rally in D.C. that's calling for a RICO investigation into the U.S. College of Bishops, the Conference of Bishops, as an advocating for sex abuse victims.
00:23:15.440 Kevin, tell me what's going on and who you're with.
00:23:18.000 Okay, great to be with you again, Jack.
00:23:22.060 Yes, we're down at the National Shrine, not the National Cathedral, where you and I were about a month or so ago.
00:23:28.520 No, no, no, we're going to talk about that.
00:23:30.640 So we have a certain Cardinal McElroy being installed just today, just inside, who will be giving his own homily very shortly.
00:23:41.340 And I'm here with a dignified gentleman who has much more on the topic at hand.
00:23:47.560 And we believe it's a bit of a deep, deep church installation here.
00:23:52.420 You're talking about planting trees.
00:23:53.560 This is some kind of plant for sure.
00:23:56.160 And, yeah, let me introduce him now.
00:23:58.000 His name is Michael Hichborn from the Lepanto Institute.
00:24:00.520 He's the president.
00:24:01.420 And he was out front with us with signs.
00:24:04.260 We were praying rosary earlier.
00:24:06.040 We'll probably do another one again soon here.
00:24:08.520 But, Michael, please introduce yourself.
00:24:11.200 Let us know.
00:24:11.600 Yeah, so one of the reasons that we're here is that Cardinal McElroy is part of a large cabal of bishops and cardinals who are trying desperately to undermine the church's teaching and to work closely with the deep state.
00:24:26.000 When you look at the way certain bishops were involved in the cover-ups, the rape cover-ups of children, we know that Cardinal McElroy helped to cover up the rape of a young woman named Rachel Mastro Giacomo, who was here with us today.
00:24:40.700 She was ritually satanically abused, and Cardinal McElroy had a hand in covering up her abuse.
00:24:48.140 But there's so much more to the story because Cardinal McElroy is also a part of the Association of U.S. Catholic Priests, which is basically the remnants of call to action.
00:24:59.840 They're a bunch of dissident priests working to undermine the authentic moral and theological teachings of the church.
00:25:05.700 And you also have the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops intimately involved with USAID and the whole border situation, taking in hundreds of millions of dollars to help illegal aliens come in across the border.
00:25:19.760 So when you start looking into the whole problem, you realize there's got to be something to investigate, someone to investigate these problems and possibly look into RICO.
00:25:31.380 That's right, Jack.
00:25:32.260 We want to know where all this money is going.
00:25:33.660 That's why we're calling on J.D. Vance.
00:25:35.100 We highlighted those, right, and what they're doing with USAID.
00:25:39.980 So we want to know, like, where are all these migrant children going?
00:25:44.200 Why aren't there any orphanages that you hear about, like the recent Mother Cabrini movie?
00:25:51.100 Where are the orphanages?
00:25:52.620 Why are there 300,000 missing children?
00:25:55.200 That's what we want to know.
00:25:56.280 That's why we're calling on an investigation.
00:26:01.040 So, Kev, let's walk me through some more of this.
00:26:04.180 Tell me some more about what's going on at the protest.
00:26:09.060 What are the specifics on the USCCB, this Conference of Catholic Bishops?
00:26:15.120 We know that they got into it with J.D. Vance.
00:26:18.120 What is the protest calling for specifically today?
00:26:20.700 Well, the protesters are calling for a RICO investigation.
00:26:25.780 They're asking J.D. Vance to start or initiate a RICO investigation into the US Conference of Catholic Bishops.
00:26:32.880 We know that the USCCB received $130 million to relocate migrants and refugees in the United States.
00:26:40.520 $130 million of that went to relocating minors and unaccompanied children.
00:26:47.480 And the question that we have is, where was the vetting with regard to these underage children?
00:26:52.460 We know that many of them were coming across the border with nothing but a little card that said,
00:26:57.360 here's the phone number for the contact that you need to relocate me with.
00:27:00.380 Where's the follow-up?
00:27:02.060 We know there are 300,000 children that went missing.
00:27:06.060 And what's interesting is that when the USCCB takes $30 million to relocate underage children,
00:27:14.000 but then none of the money went to stopping trafficking,
00:27:17.380 we have to ask the question, is this really the entity that paid out $5 billion in sex abuse settlements?
00:27:25.860 Is this really the entity that should be receiving that money to relocate these children?
00:27:33.420 Tell me more about what was the letter or the part of the Vatican II that you were saying in 1965.
00:27:39.780 How did this all start when the church was being undermined by these subtle governmental funding issues?
00:27:52.040 In the Second Vatican Council, one of the last documents that was published is called Perfecte Caritatis,
00:27:57.000 that had everything to do with upending religious institutes.
00:28:01.660 The religious orders were told that they needed to rewrite their constitutions, rewrite their prayer books.
00:28:07.340 They had to start incorporating social justice into their communities,
00:28:12.700 including cloisters had to start being more social justice-minded.
00:28:17.840 But what happened as a result of this is that you had nuns dopping their habits,
00:28:22.220 you had priests parading in pro-homosexual parades,
00:28:26.060 and after a while the charities that had been provided by the church free of charge
00:28:32.340 were handed over to the federal government,
00:28:34.640 and so the U.S. ECB started lobbying the government to increase their welfare programs,
00:28:40.000 to increase all of these for-profit industrial organizations,
00:28:45.920 which were making billions of dollars now in the name of helping the poor,
00:28:50.620 where these services cost very little when it was being done by religious institutes.
00:28:54.800 Right, so the point of the protest...
00:28:59.160 Yeah, go ahead.
00:29:01.160 Oh, no, so the point of the protest is that essentially what this...
00:29:05.560 And what do people understand? Let's zoom out a little bit.
00:29:07.900 What you've got here are not people who are attacking them for being Catholic,
00:29:13.720 but actually what it is, the point of the protest is that these leaders,
00:29:17.680 these people who claim to be acting in the names of practicing Catholics,
00:29:21.920 Kev, like you and me, that they're actually going up there,
00:29:25.340 they're taking money from the collection plate,
00:29:27.440 and they're sending it to all these social justice programs,
00:29:30.140 they're propping up people like McElroy that are covering up sex crimes,
00:29:33.820 and they're also taking the money and they're using it to participate in these operations
00:29:38.800 that enable and further and fuel illegal alien invasion into the United States,
00:29:45.880 many of which involves children.
00:29:47.840 This is us saying, look, if we're going to be, you know, the Catholic poso bros,
00:29:52.640 then we have to call out our own church before anyone else does.
00:29:57.720 We have to clean up our own house, and we are more than willing to do so,
00:30:02.100 and we are happy to do so.
00:30:04.120 That's what this is about.
00:30:06.280 That's right, Jack.
00:30:07.360 And this is, that's almost verbatim what J.D. Vance was suggesting,
00:30:11.000 that we should clean up our own financial house.
00:30:13.420 And this is more than just, you know, I carry the basket at my own church.
00:30:17.300 This is more than, it's a very trusted position.
00:30:19.820 This is more than just like slipping a 20 in your own pocket out of the basket.
00:30:23.340 This is on a macro level here that we're seeing the waste, fraud, and abuse.
00:30:27.860 And the Biden administration was very lax on border policy to begin with,
00:30:32.900 people coming over, and that's where a lot of the Catholic charities,
00:30:37.800 scandals you've heard about in Texas, for instance, came to be.
00:30:42.320 And so there's just not a lot of accountability being held towards Catholic Charity,
00:30:50.740 USCCB, like all the funding that we're giving them, like where are the results?
00:30:55.460 We give them all this money, and then children disappear.
00:30:59.060 And one of the things most people don't understand is that the Catholic Relief Services
00:31:03.240 has a quid pro quo relationship with USAID.
00:31:07.800 CRS and the USCCB would regularly go to Capitol Hill, they would lobby Capitol Hill
00:31:13.940 to increase funding for USAID, PEPFAR, the Global Fund, and a bunch of other institutes
00:31:19.300 that are, by the way, putting money towards abortion, contraception,
00:31:24.320 and just all the worst stuff and things that are completely against church teaching.
00:31:28.160 At the same time, CRS is getting the prime cut of USAID funds.
00:31:35.160 They were among the top of the organizations that were getting funding from USAID.
00:31:41.880 And so when it comes down to it, what you're saying is that this isn't a principled response
00:31:47.560 that they're having with J.D. Vance and others.
00:31:49.400 It's about money.
00:31:50.380 It actually is about the funding, isn't it?
00:31:52.020 It absolutely is.
00:31:54.060 The USAID and CRS relationship is so deep that when I started investigating CRS and PEPFAR
00:32:00.280 back in 2014, PEPFAR actually erased part of the record that said that CRS was promoting
00:32:07.300 a program that was promoting contraception.
00:32:11.240 They erased that when they were caught.
00:32:13.760 And then the USCCB used that as a letter to say, no, see, that was all a big mistake.
00:32:18.460 They're in cahoots.
00:32:20.700 There's a collusion here between the deep state and the deep church.
00:32:23.580 And our institute is working very hard to try and cut that tie.
00:32:28.160 Well, and that's why we support the Lepanto Institute so much here on Human Events Daily.
00:32:32.820 Hey, Kev, we got about a minute left, but I just want to remind people that this is all
00:32:38.780 about saving the children.
00:32:40.560 So I was wondering if you could do with me real quick here on the program, St. Michael,
00:32:47.040 the archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares
00:32:54.260 of the devil.
00:32:55.120 May God rebuke him, we humbly pray.
00:32:58.200 And do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, cast into hell, Satan, and all the evil spirits,
00:33:07.320 round about the world, seeking the ruin of souls.
00:33:09.860 Amen.
00:33:10.440 You know, I thought you were going to rosary check me, but we're well prepared today.
00:33:13.660 I was rosary checking you.
00:33:15.580 Where are you at?
00:33:16.040 Where are you at on that rosary check, Kev?
00:33:17.800 Oh, I got you.
00:33:18.580 What about Hitchborn?
00:33:19.300 You got to check Hitchborn now, too.
00:33:20.660 All right.
00:33:21.280 All right.
00:33:21.520 Oh, yeah.
00:33:22.020 Rosary check is up.
00:33:23.380 Rosary check.
00:33:23.980 We're all good here.
00:33:24.700 We're all good.
00:33:25.140 That's right.
00:33:25.760 Folks are saying, oh, did you have your rosary out, Poso, just because you're doing the
00:33:29.080 Catholic one today?
00:33:30.180 No, folks, it's always here.
00:33:31.940 I'm always armed.
00:33:33.020 I'm always ready to do battle with the forces of Satan.
00:33:36.180 You're right back here.
00:33:36.820 Human Events Daily continues.
00:33:37.940 Jack is a great guy.
00:33:47.600 He's written a fantastic book.
00:33:49.220 Everybody's talking about it.
00:33:50.460 Go get it.
00:33:51.580 And he's been my friend right from the beginning of this whole beautiful event.
00:33:55.580 And we're going to turn it around and make our country great to get to him.
00:33:58.860 Amen.
00:34:00.700 Trump has talked a lot about tariffs.
00:34:02.920 He's talked about applying them for several different reasons.
00:34:05.840 And I think a lot of the world was hoping that this would mostly be a negotiating tactic
00:34:10.040 where he'd threaten things, people would make some kind of deal, and then the threat
00:34:15.200 of tariffs would go away.
00:34:17.120 I think some of this is suggesting that the tariffs, indeed, are really seen as potentially
00:34:22.100 more of a structural change for the way Trump wants the economy to work.
00:34:26.880 And that is going to be more of a long-term effect with an adjustment period.
00:34:30.660 There are rising worries about a slowdown.
00:34:33.480 You've got the Atlanta Federal Reserve saying we're going to have a contraction in the first
00:34:36.760 quarter.
00:34:37.380 Look, I know that you inherited a mess.
00:34:39.440 And you said that the other night.
00:34:40.480 I've only been here, you know, for a while.
00:34:41.400 But are you expecting a recession this year?
00:34:45.500 I hate to predict things like that.
00:34:48.120 There is a period of transition because what we're doing is very big.
00:34:52.920 We're bringing wealth back to America.
00:34:55.180 That's a big thing.
00:34:56.200 And there are always periods of – it takes a little time.
00:35:02.460 It takes a little time.
00:35:04.600 But I don't –
00:35:05.420 When I'm working long hours, I'm always listening to Human Events with Jack Posobiec.
00:35:09.240 All right, Jack Posobiec, here we are back live, Human Events Daily.
00:35:14.400 And folks, what President Trump is saying there is so important.
00:35:18.520 I get that everyone's talking about the stock market today, and he's talking about, whoa,
00:35:22.160 whoa, does this mean we're going to a recession?
00:35:24.460 Does this mean everything's falling apart?
00:35:26.180 Does this mean everything's going wild and crazy?
00:35:29.320 The economy's going down?
00:35:30.260 Hold on a second.
00:35:30.780 Just bump to break a second, okay, folks?
00:35:32.780 Number one, guy's been on the job for 51 days, 51 days.
00:35:39.960 So when you look at something like this, you have to say, all right, he's clearly operating
00:35:44.340 off of some sheet of music, and he's had four years to think about, and really in some ways
00:35:49.100 34 years to think about all of the things that he's wanted to do as president.
00:35:54.880 And so here's what it all comes down to.
00:35:57.440 Okay, after the global financial crisis, 2008, and then again in COVID, we had this
00:36:05.000 massive money printer.
00:36:07.320 We had this massive injection of credit into the economy.
00:36:11.800 But folks, the days of endless spending are over.
00:36:14.680 What Trump is doing is he's stepping up and turning off the money machine.
00:36:18.220 That means no more printing cash like it's monopoly money, no more pretending the bill won't
00:36:22.720 come due.
00:36:23.320 Actually, it turns out it is coming due.
00:36:25.080 The globalist model, which is debt trap slavery for everyone out there, is crumbling for the
00:36:30.320 lower 90% of people.
00:36:31.960 It's not sustainable for you, for me, for American families, for the middle class, for
00:36:36.420 working class.
00:36:37.180 We are running on fumes, and the tank is running dry.
00:36:40.840 So you got to talk straight.
00:36:42.200 Look, the tank, the stock market is going down, and people are wringing their hands.
00:36:45.260 They're crying.
00:36:45.700 Where's our wealth?
00:36:46.260 Where's our wealth?
00:36:46.860 No, no, no, no.
00:36:48.120 Corporate wealth is not the whole picture.
00:36:50.460 We are talking about bloated corporations, a smug banking cartel, and speculators riding
00:36:56.920 high on greed.
00:36:58.240 But now the mask is off.
00:36:59.620 Look, broader commodities, I get it.
00:37:02.040 They're jittery.
00:37:02.780 Everything's jittery out there.
00:37:03.920 The currency market is an absolute mess.
00:37:06.120 Inflation's gnawing at our wallets.
00:37:08.040 Unemployment's not just a statistic.
00:37:10.100 It's facing the crowd.
00:37:12.940 But that's the real pulse of the economy, and it was flatlining for years under Biden,
00:37:18.100 and the media never talked about it.
00:37:20.460 So Trump has just gotten to the helm, and he is steering us into a different place.
00:37:26.700 It's about manufacturing, a place that people don't even remember.
00:37:30.440 People don't even remember what America was like when it produced things, when we made our
00:37:34.160 own stuff, and picture it.
00:37:36.000 Factories, humming, towns thriving, not just shipping containers piling up with junk from
00:37:41.540 halfway around the world.
00:37:42.860 That's what President Trump promised, bringing it back home.
00:37:45.440 You remember 2020, when you couldn't get your toilet paper or vitamins or anything?
00:37:49.300 We all nodded, and we said, yeah, self-sufficiency makes sense.
00:37:52.520 But here's the catch.
00:37:54.120 It's not instantaneous.
00:37:55.480 It takes time, and it's not free.
00:37:58.280 Plus, it's not just manufacturing.
00:38:00.280 Fixing the immigration mess.
00:38:02.480 Building a system that's fair, secure, and works.
00:38:05.720 Getting us energy independent.
00:38:07.160 Those are big.
00:38:08.080 Those are huge moves.
00:38:09.160 Bold moves.
00:38:10.000 Imagine, think about it.
00:38:10.900 Borders that actually mean something.
00:38:12.220 And a gas pump that's humming with what?
00:38:14.860 American oil.
00:38:16.200 Not just begging OPEC for scraps.
00:38:18.520 Those are the fixes that will bear fruit, and you can't even wrap your heads around it.
00:38:22.800 Jobs, security, power in our own hands.
00:38:25.840 It's like planting a tree.
00:38:26.960 You don't get the shade tomorrow.
00:38:28.740 It takes time, and that is the test that we're facing.
00:38:31.500 Now, we know that Americans don't like time.
00:38:33.440 I get it.
00:38:33.900 We're not wired for patience.
00:38:35.600 But people are tied into, well, how are we trained?
00:38:38.440 What are we conditioned to do?
00:38:39.940 Live off of debt.
00:38:41.340 Just get another credit card, right?
00:38:42.740 Just get another credit card.
00:38:43.780 Just sign up again for another credit card.
00:38:45.700 Swipe the card.
00:38:46.420 Figure it out later, right?
00:38:47.400 Just swipe the card.
00:38:48.520 Now, now, now.
00:38:49.380 Me, me, me.
00:38:50.520 Gimme, gimme, gimme.
00:38:51.580 Figure it out later.
00:38:52.580 That's the trap, and someone has to stop the bleeding.
00:38:55.820 Someone has to be the grown-up in the room.
00:38:57.760 Someone has to be daddy.
00:38:59.140 Someone has to grab the teenager's credit card, cut it in half, and say,
00:39:02.080 it's time to live within your means.
00:39:05.540 That's where we're at.
00:39:06.600 I get it.
00:39:07.060 It's tough love.
00:39:07.840 It stings.
00:39:08.880 But folks would be getting ripped off for years, decades even.
00:39:13.240 And your labor as an American, it can have real value again.
00:39:17.400 Actual value.
00:39:18.660 I get it that there is going to be transitory pain.
00:39:22.620 But is it going to last forever?
00:39:23.880 No.
00:39:24.580 Absolutely not.
00:39:25.580 Imagine this.
00:39:26.680 Working a job that doesn't just put food back on your table,
00:39:29.520 but pumping life back into your community.
00:39:31.920 Because the wealth flows where it belongs.
00:39:34.540 Not to some faceless bank raking in 30% interest on a loan for cheap garbage that breaks in a month.
00:39:40.800 That's the America we fought for.
00:39:43.040 Not the house of cards built on borrowed time and, you know, basically leveraging our children's future.
00:39:49.700 So yeah, yes, the money machine is getting shut down.
00:39:52.440 And it's going to hurt before it heals.
00:39:53.960 Guess what?
00:39:54.560 That's how it goes.
00:39:55.320 Pressure makes diamonds.
00:39:57.980 But when we come out the other side, self-sufficient, strong, building things that last,
00:40:03.500 that's when we'll see what America's really made of.
00:40:06.280 So hang in there, folks.
00:40:07.660 We understand.
00:40:08.580 It might be a little bit of a bumpy ride.
00:40:10.420 But there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
00:40:13.120 And that light is shining red, white, and blue.
00:40:16.240 And will shine on to the path of glory.
00:40:19.660 Ladies and gentlemen, as always, you have my permission to lay a short.
00:40:23.000 Thank you.
