00:00:47.000 This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.

00:00:50.000 Christ is king!

00:00:52.000 Trump now warning eight key NATO allies, including Denmark, France, Germany and the United Kingdom, that they will face tariffs.

00:00:59.000 tariffs, starting with 10% in February, until a deal is reached for the complete and total

00:01:05.280 purchase of Greenland. All right, well, President Trump is headed to Davos tonight to attend the

00:01:09.460 2026 World Economic Forum. This push to purchase Greenland is poised to be a key issue at this

00:01:16.060 week's Switzerland-based event. But despite intensifying tensions over the island nation's

00:01:21.340 future, Treasury Secretary Scott Besson insisted the relationship between the U.S. and Europe

00:01:26.440 remains strong while speaking in Davos today.

00:01:29.140 I am confident that the leaders will not escalate

00:01:31.780 and that this will work out in a manner

00:01:34.120 that ends up in a very good place for all,

00:01:37.680 for national security, for the U.S. and for Europe.

00:01:41.660 The death toll in Iran reportedly topping 3,000

00:01:44.420 since protests started three weeks ago

00:01:46.360 as the Ayatollah blames President Trump. 0.60

00:01:50.900 We consider the U.S. president a criminal

00:01:53.360 for the casualties, damages, and the slander he inflicted on the Iranian nation.

00:01:59.160 Minneapolis is on edge. The Pentagon is putting 1,500 troops on standby,

00:02:03.320 and the FBI is reportedly asking agents across the country

00:02:05.920 to volunteer for temporary duty in that city.

00:02:08.920 Rene, wait a minute!

00:02:12.120 This is the House of God!

00:02:14.300 Why are you not at Wibble protesting?

00:02:16.680 Why are you not standing up with the ICE?

00:02:18.920 Anti-ICE protesters, get this, storming a church in St. Paul, Minnesota, disrupting services to confront the pastor who they allege is working with ICE.

00:02:28.960 A.G. Pam Bondi, quote, says this, attacks against law enforcement and the intimidation of Christians are being met with the full force of federal law.

00:02:37.200 If state leaders refuse to act responsibly to prevent lawlessness, the DOJ will remain mobilized to prosecute federal crimes and ensure that the rule of law prevails.

00:02:46.440 well ladies and gentlemen welcome aboard today's edition of human events daily we're here live on

00:02:53.460 real america's voice and folks today is of course january 20th 2026 anno domini one year of trump

00:03:04.740 one year since the return of president trump to the oval office also one year i posted the photo

00:03:13.000 up on Twitter since Charlie and Erica got to be there at the inauguration and be with

00:03:20.080 the president, one of the best pictures that we'll ever see, one of the best pictures we'll

00:03:27.320 ever see of our friends, and a hard-fought victory for so many, and yet bittersweet in

00:03:35.260 so many ways.

00:03:36.540 Now, when we look at all of this, here's the thing.

00:03:39.620 The left didn't just go away one year ago.

00:03:42.560 The left didn't just disappear. They didn't just dissipate. They didn't vanish into the ether, didn't roll over and die. No, they're back and they're backed with a vengeance. We're at the church raids part. And specifically, what did they say?

00:03:56.700 They said they were raiding white Christian churches. 0.60

00:04:01.640 White Christians are the targets. 0.81

00:04:04.180 Everyone who was involved with that church raid needs to be arrested immediately. 0.97

00:04:09.380 There's no question about it.

00:04:10.960 If it's Don Lemon, if it's Keith Ellison, all the way up to Tim Walz,

00:04:15.040 every single one of them needs to be arrested under the FACE Act.

00:04:18.720 It was in law from 1994.

00:04:22.000 We know this law has been on the books.

00:04:24.000 It needs to be signed.

00:04:25.100 It needs to be done.

00:04:25.980 There's no question. There's no more excuses. That's key. What else do we see going on, folks?

00:04:33.480 Understand, the next time they're not just going to be protesting in the church. The next time

00:04:39.340 they are going to show up with murderous intent. And they're already, when you look at the trans 1.00

00:04:45.660 elements out there, the trans militants, they've already been shooting up the churches. And by the 0.96

00:04:51.980 way, what was the last church they targeted? Oh, right. A church in Minneapolis, the church in

00:04:57.340 the Annunciation. That trans militant went in pew by pew, shooting through the windows up and down 0.98

00:05:07.560 the aisles as children, little children, were sitting there going to mass. Understand what

00:05:15.040 part of the movie we're in. This is it. This is the chance to make the final stand for American

00:05:22.980 freedom. We know who they're targeting. We know who the targets are. We know what the list is.

00:05:29.400 We know where we need to be defensive. And the key is simple. Sometimes the best defense

00:05:36.280 is a good offense. We need to go on the offensive immediately. The work in Minneapolis has been

00:05:42.620 amazing. The Patriots in Minneapolis have been amazing. You've seen the human events coverage.

00:05:47.840 Also, Cam Higby, Nick Sorter, of course, crushing it. Nick Sorter, of course, I've been in

00:05:52.860 communications with ever since his incident, which happened there on the ground, his dragging

00:05:58.140 incident. We'll have more on that as it develops. But ladies and gentlemen, we need to understand

00:06:03.980 that time is short. One year from today, the next Congress will be sworn in. What does that mean?

00:06:11.240 Well, we'll have already been sworn in. They actually get sworn in a little bit earlier

00:06:14.000 from the president. So what does that mean? Which Congress is that going to be? Is that going to be

00:06:19.080 a Republican Congress or is that going to be a Democrat Congress? Are we going to have a new

00:06:22.980 Speaker of the House? Are we going to have Speaker Johnson or are we going to have Speaker Hakeem?

00:06:28.100 Speaker Hakeem. The fight for the midterms begins now. And that fight is all about delivering for

00:06:36.560 the american people the tariffs ending the forever wars and by the way i gotta say

00:06:42.200 greenland i'm all in on greenland you guys know this you've been watching this hemispheric defense

00:06:48.980 from green northern greenland all the way south to the panama canal through the gulf of america

00:07:02.760 projects out there i'm talking about the greater america project all right obtain greenland to

00:07:14.900 nothing will stand in our way and our golden age has just begun this is human events with jack

00:07:26.300 Posobiec. Now it's time for everyone to understand what America First truly means. Welcome to the

00:07:32.980 second American Revolution. All right, Jack Posobiec, we are back live here. Real America's

00:07:42.600 Voice Human Events Daily. Folks, look, if you're anything like me, the holidays were a little bit

00:07:46.940 brutal. All those healthy eating habits, gone. Desserts, the late nights, skipping workouts.

00:07:52.820 I've been keeping back up.

00:07:54.400 Don't worry, folks.

00:07:55.080 I'm keeping back up.

00:07:55.900 But now we're in the new year, so it's time to reset.

00:07:59.580 Let's undo all that, make a New Year's resolution to actually give our bodies what they need.

00:08:05.220 For me and my family, that fresh start begins with Cove Pure.

00:08:08.760 And here's the thing.

00:08:09.840 Everyone jumps into the new year buying new supplements, trying a new diet, trying new workouts,

00:08:15.160 but they completely ignore the most important basic thing, your water, the water that you

00:08:21.400 are drinking, even mild dehydration will impact your energy, your focus, and of course, your

00:08:26.540 metabolism. And when you think about all the garbage that's in our water, you're starting

00:08:30.740 behind the curve before you even begin. CovePure's ClearWave technology is certified to remove up to

00:08:38.200 99.9% of contaminants. Pretty much anything that isn't water, we're talking PFAs, microplastics,

00:08:44.060 pharmaceutical residue, fluoride, it all gets removed. It's the purest water you can get. And

00:08:49.580 And what I love most about Cove Pure is it lets you choose the temperature of your water.

00:08:55.600 Because sometimes you want it hot.

00:08:56.940 Sometimes you want it cold.

00:08:58.120 Sometimes you want it warm.

00:08:59.220 Sometimes Tanya Tay likes to make her tea.

00:09:01.220 She wants it as hot as possible. 0.79

00:09:03.780 Believe me, that woman likes it hot. 0.98

00:09:06.580 And it makes your water taste so good.

00:09:08.620 Pure, clean, no aftertaste.

00:09:10.400 Cove Pure makes it so easy to get pure water with the push of a button.

00:09:15.240 So this year, make a New Year's resolution that sticks.

00:09:35.460 Covepure dot com.

00:09:37.360 All right, we're monitoring now President Trump, of course, giving this incredible press briefing.

00:09:41.300 He's talking about the fraud in Minneapolis.

00:09:44.200 He is, Tanya Tate, Tanya Tate just texted me.

00:09:47.040 She said in all caps, I like it hot exclamation mark, three exclamation marks on that one.

00:09:53.060 And and President Trump, 19 billion, he says, is missing in Minnesota.

00:09:58.820 He's also holding up mugshots of the people who have been arrested.

00:10:02.560 These heinous criminals, rapists, child traffickers, murderers that have been arrested in Minneapolis and so many out protesting to support them.

00:10:12.480 How strange. So when we do look at the when we do. 0.86

00:10:16.820 look at the fraud that's there in Minneapolis, what's key, what's absolutely key to understand

00:10:22.220 is that this is not just about fraud from Minneapolis. It's also about the daycare

00:10:28.840 fraud and fraud that's missing from HHS. So we're very excited and honored here on Human Events

00:10:33.260 Daily to bring on Alex Adams, the Health and Human Services Assistant Secretary for the

00:10:38.860 Administration for Children and Families. Alex, how are you? I'm doing well. Thanks for having me,

00:10:44.460 jack well thanks for coming on so you got the president up there he's talking about 19 billion

00:10:50.720 now of course that's uh that's a you know a total number that's all in when when hhs is looking at

00:10:57.700 the minneapolis problem set what can you tell us that you're drilling down on right now well first

00:11:04.660 jack as he said a year ago today president trump was sworn into office and putting america first

00:11:09.840 means rooting out fraud in each and every one of these programs at the administration for children

00:11:14.720 and families the program that we're specifically looking at in minnesota is the child care subsidy

00:11:20.320 program so the way these programs work congress appropriates money my agency sends it out to

00:11:25.840 states states administer it and they're entrusted to administer it within federal parameters

00:11:31.120 we send out about 185 million dollars annually to minnesota and then minnesota is supposed to use

00:11:37.680 that to help defray the cost of child care for its citizens. They serve between 18,000 and 19,000

00:11:45.280 kids with those dollars. And certainly based on past reports and recent reports, there's a

00:11:52.040 suggestion that a lot of that has gone to fraud, false store frauds, phantom children, et cetera.

00:11:59.160 We at the Department of Health and Human Services had an Office of Inspector General report that had

00:12:04.480 been done earlier this year, it was in May, and it was critical of Minnesota's practices,

00:12:08.800 specifically how they kept attendance records and suggested a series of improvements. There had been

00:12:16.200 a number of other reports, including a legislative audit report from the state of Minnesota itself.

00:12:21.920 So in early December, we sent a letter to the state asking for data on claims. One of the

00:12:29.700 challenges with these federal programs is you separate the financing and the

00:12:34.560 accountability. We are the funder, we are the overseer, but the state of Minnesota

00:12:40.740 administers it. And they've been sending us bills, but they haven't necessarily

00:12:44.400 been sending us data. So we, in early December, asked for data on their program

00:12:48.180 participants. We've asked for data on attendance records, inspection records,

00:12:52.260 things that would give confidence to the American taxpayers. And to date, we have

00:12:56.260 not received that data from them. So we've taken a number of actions. We had announced that we were

00:13:03.860 doing a restricted drawdown where we were going to condition their funding on them providing that

00:13:09.880 data. That's been held up in court. We're under a temporary restraining order. So we've taken

00:13:17.200 other actions. We actually have a team on site this week asking them about their practices,

00:13:22.380 asking them for data because Americans deserve accountability for these tax dollars.

00:13:28.040 This doesn't just impact Minnesota.

00:13:29.420 As I said, we send $185 million in tax dollars out the door to that state annually.

00:13:34.920 So every dollar stolen by a fraudster is stolen from a child that could have benefited from

00:13:40.500 the services that the program was intended to prefer.

00:13:45.240 And this is something that I think is so key, and you absolutely hit on it.

00:13:48.800 And I appreciate you saying that because this isn't just money that's gamed out of the system.

00:13:53.020 It's not, you know, funny money.

00:13:54.780 This is theft from the children of Minnesota and in some cases, disabled children, the neediest of the needy, the people who actually need it, the children who actually need it, the native Minnesotans, the children who are there, who are just asking for the help from the government.

00:14:13.440 Obviously, it's been allocated by Congress to be able to do this.

00:14:16.400 that's who they're stealing from. And those are the true victims. So I wanted to say thank you

00:14:21.120 so much for pointing that out, because so many times people say, oh, why is the administration

00:14:25.260 cracking down here? I said, no, no, no, no. It's not a crackdown on a certain group of people.

00:14:29.000 It's because they're victimizing the neediest of the needy, disabled children in Minnesota,

00:14:35.580 Minneapolis, and throughout. And obviously, it's not just Minnesota. I wanted to also ask you,

00:14:40.260 because you've got a new deregulatory push that you're working on, but in some cases,

00:14:45.920 it's also tied to the fraud because of some regulations that Joe Biden put in while he was

00:14:53.060 in place. Walk that through for our audience. Yeah, we're focused on dismantling the administrative

00:14:58.200 state. That starts with both regulations and sub-regulatory guidance that the agency

00:15:02.700 issues. And what you see is when you look at our trend line of regulations, it goes up

00:15:08.460 almost exponentially, especially during Democratic administrations in the last year

00:15:12.800 of Democratic administrations in particular. And in 2024, the Biden administration rushed

00:15:19.820 some regulations that we think would have turbocharged fraud in the child care program.

00:15:25.320 It asked states to pay based on enrollment for child care, not based on attendance. It asked

00:15:33.220 states to pay in advance, not after the fact, based on verified attendance. And it asked states

00:15:39.360 to start converting some of its funding for child care from vouchers that go to parents

00:15:44.040 and allow a parent to shop around for the child care facility that best meets their

00:15:49.000 needs and instead contracting with specific locations.

00:15:53.420 So if you think of, you know, the Quality Leering Center and some of these other facilities

00:15:57.560 that have been pilloried online, the Biden administration was asking American taxpayers

00:16:02.160 to pay up front regardless if a kid showed up or not.

00:16:06.360 It's not hard to see how that could lead to fraud and make it easier to perpetuate and

00:16:11.540 harder to crack down on.

00:16:14.740 So as part of our de-reg efforts, we published a temporary rule to start the process of getting

00:16:20.860 that off of the books and allowing states to put teeth into oversight of these programs.

00:16:25.840 But Jack, that's one small example.

00:16:28.540 We see this all over the place and we're committed at the Administration for Children

00:16:32.320 and families to deregulating, downsizing, smart-sizing government, doing what's right.

00:16:38.360 And just as one example, we just inventoried all our sub-regulatory guidance documents.

00:16:43.920 These are things that are purportedly just guidance, but often carry the force and effect

00:16:49.540 of law through intimation, if nothing else.

00:16:52.200 And we just found we have 55,000 pages of sub-regulatory guidance.

00:16:56.700 So I was talking to my team.

00:16:58.140 I said, God had 10 commandments for the entire world.

00:17:00.840 Somehow I have 55,000 pages of sub-regulatory guidance documents for grant programs that pass through state and local governments.

00:17:10.860 We can do better and we must do better.

00:17:13.240 And you can rest assured we're very soon going to have a bonfire of regulations at ACF.

00:17:18.700 Focus on the things that will combat fraud.

00:17:22.240 Focus on things that will ensure affordability to American taxpayers and get rid of all the fluff.

00:17:30.840 Well, I mean, that's absolutely incredible because when so many people look at this, they don't realize how much money really goes through HHS, how much funding goes in there.

00:17:41.420 But to your point, once the money goes out of the federal coffers, it's really to the states.

00:17:46.960 And that's where this problem is.

00:17:48.400 But that administration of those federal dollars, I'll simply ask this, you know, as we're leaving.

00:17:53.520 But, you know, if there's any indications where you want to cover information that could lead to potential liability for officials or fraudsters involved, is that then communicated over to DOJ?

00:18:06.980 Yes, sir. We work hand in hand with our other federal partners.

00:18:10.360 We also at HHS have the office of the inspector general, and you can rest assured that we're

00:18:15.740 going to support President Trump, that we're going to focus on America first, that we are

00:18:19.720 going to root out fraud wherever it exists within our programs.

00:18:23.540 I administer about 60 programs, $70 billion that goes out to states, and we're going to

00:18:27.880 look under every rock and every cover.

00:18:30.320 We've started sending out letters in our TANF program as well, which is cash assistance.

00:18:34.400 We just sent a letter to President Biden's home state of Delaware last week, alleging

00:18:38.960 that they inappropriately used funds

00:18:40.880 in the cash welfare program.

00:18:43.000 And you can rest assured

00:18:44.360 this will be a big priority for us

00:18:45.880 the rest of the way.

00:18:48.480 Alex Adams,

00:18:49.300 this is your secretary of HHS.

00:18:51.780 Thank you so much for joining us.

00:18:53.080 We're honored to have you here

00:18:54.080 on Human Events Daily.

00:18:55.560 Thank you, Jack.

00:18:58.240 Thank you. God bless.

00:18:59.180 All right, folks, stay tuned.

00:19:00.120 Right back with so much more

00:19:01.480 action-packed show today.

00:19:03.860 Yes, we are on location.

00:19:05.760 More on that to come.

00:19:07.700 Jack Posobiec, Human Events Daily.

00:19:08.960 today you know they talk about influencers these are influencers

00:19:19.440 and they're friends of mine jack you're so like where's jack jack he's done a great job

00:19:27.700 all right jack posovic we are back live here human events daily i want to bring on libby emmon

00:19:37.580 She's the editor-in-chief of Human Events and the Post Millennial. Libby, how are you?

00:19:43.000 Jack, how are you doing?

00:19:45.620 I'm doing well. So I read your op-ed the other day,

00:19:48.560 is Minneapolis going to be our Bleeding Kansas moment?

00:19:53.300 And my response to it was, you know, I don't know if Bleeding Kansas is right.

00:19:58.140 Of course, that was the, you know, the chaos over whether or not Kansas would turn into a slave state or a free state.

00:20:04.680 It was immediately prior to the Civil War, really seen as one of the precursors.

00:20:08.980 But I do perhaps see it as a precursor to some of the type of activity that we saw during the Spanish Civil War, a.k.a. the Spanish Communist Revolution.

00:20:20.720 Funny how, by the way, if you notice, our history books don't even tell you that Spain had a communist regime at one point in the early 1930s.

00:20:30.180 Funny how that works, isn't it?

00:20:32.280 Yeah, it sure is.

00:20:33.260 And I, you know, I think that you're I think that you're right.

00:20:36.600 And my concern and why I wrote the piece was because I'm concerned that we are veering headlong into something absolutely terrifying in this country and that we could really be in trouble if we are not paying attention and understanding what's going on in Minneapolis over the weekend.

00:20:52.420 And as we saw in viral video and, you know, Don Lemon was there, we had agitators who are very organized with something called Operation Pull-Up storm into a church in St. Paul, a Christian church, specifically targeting white Christians, specifically going in there, heckling them for being white, screaming at them, making their children cry, interrupting services,

00:21:15.040 and complaining at these people for having one of their pastors,

00:21:20.000 one of the men who's on the pastoral staff at the church, also works for ICE.

00:21:26.260 And so they were harassing worshipers over this.

00:21:30.240 And this is, of course, a complete violation of the parishioners and the church's First Amendment rights.

00:21:37.820 Well, Libby, I want to point out something, and I said this on Twitter this morning,

00:21:41.140 and I noticed that not a lot of people were saying it was that if you go and actually watch the

00:21:47.020 videos of the agitators, the leftists, when they go in there, they don't just say they're going

00:21:51.780 after Christians. They specifically say white Christians. We can't allow these white people,

00:21:58.220 these fake Christians to not stand with their black and brown brothers out there. Those are 0.99

00:22:04.780 the real Christians, and you're not a real Christian if you're white and not there. Libby, 0.97

00:22:10.240 why is it that they racialize a religion? Why is the race, the white race, so much of a target for

00:22:19.420 them? These are the same people who were involved with BLM, right? I mean, this is going back a good 0.57

00:22:25.580 few years at this point, where they have been targeting specifically white people and ideas

00:22:32.380 that they think are white, such as, you know, like being on time for work, stuff like that,

00:22:37.160 that they think is really perhaps a criminal activity and associated with white people.

00:22:42.060 Yeah, they're used to this, right? This is what they have wanted to do.

00:22:47.000 Not just being punctual, following rules, knowing when it's time to be quiet sometimes, 0.92

00:22:55.960 you know, just more of that pervasive, toxic whiteness. 0.97

00:22:59.760 Yeah, that was an exhibit at the Smithsonian about how toxic whiteness can be. 0.98

00:23:04.640 Yeah, I mean, really crazy. 0.99

00:23:06.240 But they are specifically hating white people. 0.90

00:23:08.900 There was a man out there, a white man, of course, William Kelly, who's a D.C. agitator.

00:23:14.380 He has a GoFundMe that is helping him pay for all of his expenses out there in Minnesota.

00:23:19.120 And he went into this church and started screaming at everybody about their rich lifestyles and their lattes and saying that they're Nazis, which is absolutely out of control.

00:23:29.040 And after he went to this church, broke up worship, terrorized children and families,

00:23:34.740 he then went to a mosque where he was invited.

00:23:37.700 And he spoke in his TikTok about how beautiful that mosque was and how amazing it was and

00:23:42.740 welcoming the people there made him feel.

00:23:45.540 Now it was empty.

00:23:46.500 And he talked about how scared the people who attend the mosque are of going to their

00:23:52.500 house of worship.

00:23:53.240 And so in retaliation, his idea was to make the white people feel terrorized in their house of worship.

00:24:00.100 One of the women who was leading the organized protest agitation here, Nakima Armstrong, is actually a reverend as well as a former president of the NAACP in Minneapolis.

00:24:14.600 And she's a civil rights attorney.

00:24:15.860 And she said that she was there under the power of God, that she was doing this for God, right?

00:24:21.900 She was terrorizing these families, screaming at children and moms and dads, getting in everybody's face because they dare have a parishioner who works for ICE, who's a pastor of the church, which is absolutely out of control.

00:24:35.420 The man who was giving the sermon that day is not even the man they were targeting.

00:24:39.920 He wasn't even there.

00:24:41.480 So to top it off, they're going in there, calling these people horrible names, violating their First Amendment rights, claiming that they're doing it under their First Amendment rights.

00:24:50.420 but we know that you can't practice your rights by violating other people's rights. That's not

00:24:56.660 how that works. Yeah. So that was going on here. It's absolutely horrific. And you didn't even

00:25:02.800 have Governor Tim Walz come out and say anything specific. You just had his office make a little

00:25:06.920 statement. So Libby, this isn't the first time we've seen this, by the way, because there were

00:25:15.560 some journals which were kept completely hidden by the fbi and local police out of nashville

00:25:23.900 written by aubrey hale the trans shooter there at the christian school where she too wrote that

00:25:30.280 she specifically targeted that christian school where she had gone not just because they were 0.98

00:25:35.280 christian but also because they were white she wrote that she hates white people and that she 1.00

00:25:40.780 worships black people. Why was that information hidden? Well, I think there's a lot of reasons 0.98

00:25:47.040 why someone would want to hide that, right? I mean, people in law enforcement certainly don't

00:25:51.360 want anyone out in the public to think that white people are being targeted because we've seen a lot

00:25:57.960 of regulations over the past few years that are specifically targeting white people. You know,

00:26:03.180 you have DEI and things like that. We've seen a lot of reporting about how white people are

00:26:08.360 specifically not hired for different jobs, because it's more important to prioritize

00:26:12.240 identity over, you know, merit, perhaps, and other things like that. So yeah, they didn't want us to

00:26:19.040 know that Aubrey Hale had been completely indoctrinated as a self-hating white person, 0.99

00:26:23.940 and that she was going out there specifically to kill white Christian children. Again, this is 0.99

00:26:28.860 absolutely horrifying. And there's no reason in this country that we can't just all live in peace.

00:26:33.740 we were doing it about 25 years ago and for some reason now we have to the reason is these

00:26:40.760 is these agitators and they're agitating it all up libby emmons where can people go to follow you

00:29:57.800 about America's 250th. We've got a clip out of Surge Media in Philadelphia on a SEPTA bus. SEPTA

00:30:05.960 is the Philadelphia Area Transportation Authority. You got to see what happened when an Antifa

00:30:12.420 agitator came across an independent journalist. Let's play it now.

00:30:42.420 she got the back of my head with pepper spray that was 0.99

00:30:55.800 You're still there. 0.74

00:30:57.800 You.

00:30:58.800 And thank you.

00:31:00.800 Uh oh, she's coming.

00:31:01.800 You're going to get.

00:31:06.800 Okay, so thank you.

00:31:07.800 Her name's Polina.

00:31:09.800 Polina Reyes. 0.99

00:31:11.800 There she is.

00:31:13.800 You want to wait?

00:31:14.800 You want to hang out for the cops?

00:31:15.800 She's coming back. 0.99

00:31:16.800 Yeah, she's going to wait for the cops.

00:31:17.800 She's coming back. 1.00

00:31:18.800 You are fascists and you harass people. 0.99

00:31:20.800 That's your problem. 0.99

00:31:22.800 You want to hang out for the cops?

00:31:24.800 How am I a racist?

00:31:26.560 You wanna hang out?

00:31:27.560 How are you a racist?

00:31:28.400 Why are you a racist on the internet?

00:31:29.980 Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. 0.61

00:31:31.980 Whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:31:33.100 Go and see. 0.89

00:31:34.700 Why are you a racist man?

00:31:36.040 Why?

00:31:36.880 Because you talk about Islamic people,

00:31:38.880 you talk about black people,

00:31:40.640 you talk about Mexicans, 0.56

00:31:42.080 and you post it on the internet.

00:31:44.080 Come here, come here, come here.

00:31:48.620 Right here.

00:31:51.720 All right, that intrepid journalist of Surge Media,

00:31:54.020 Frank Scales now joins us here on Human Events Daily.

00:31:57.320 Frank, how are you?

00:31:58.580 I'm doing well.

00:31:59.220 How about you, Jack?

00:31:59.860 Thank you for having me on the program today.

00:32:03.900 Have to, have to, especially for Philly's own.

00:32:06.120 Now, Frank, I got to ask, how's the eye?

00:32:08.220 The eyes are feeling good.

00:32:09.780 And a lot of people talked about how I didn't really, you know, react too viscerally.

00:32:14.820 And that's because just a week before that incident, I was pepper sprayed when I was covering

00:32:19.960 a protest in Philadelphia again.

00:32:22.480 So I got pepper spray twice in about two weeks, but I'm feeling 110% better right now.

00:32:29.620 I'm ready to get back out there.

00:32:32.220 Good, good.

00:32:33.080 Now, let me ask you, who was this individual?

00:32:36.500 What's her backstory?

00:32:38.160 Why did she target you the way that she did? 0.84

00:32:41.800 So her name is Paulina Reyes.

00:32:44.500 She was a Community College of Philadelphia student, and I was actually at Community College of Philadelphia, the school, while she was there.

00:32:51.240 She was like a journalist for the student newspaper.

00:32:54.060 And now she works at Y News in Philadelphia.

00:32:56.680 So she actually calls herself a journalist to this day on LinkedIn.

00:33:01.760 But she saw me and I actually turned around on the bus and I saw her and she was calling 0.83

00:33:07.080 me a fascist and a racist.

00:33:08.380 And I said, I disagree with that.

00:33:09.860 I'm not.

00:33:10.660 And at that point, when she realized she couldn't bait me into an argument, she became very

00:33:16.780 aggressive.

00:33:17.300 So I immediately started recording and it's just escalated from there.

00:33:24.080 And this is really amazing.

00:33:26.060 So wait a minute.

00:33:26.680 She's a WHYY news intern in the city right now.

00:33:32.980 She's working, but basically that's sort of like the NPR of Philadelphia. 0.87

00:33:36.500 She's over at WHYY and she's going around pepper spraying people on the bus.

00:33:41.780 If she doesn't like what they say on the Internet, is that what, you know, or at least what she thinks they say on the Internet?

00:33:47.300 That's correct. And it's very unfortunate that Y has not come out and condemned political

00:33:53.280 violence. They're publicly funded and they should do that immediately. They should do that right now.

00:33:59.980 Now, this is horrific. And I put the tweet up with when you guys identified her over at Surge

00:34:04.860 Media, we put it up. I said, why is this? Why is this? Why W-H-Y-Y intern going around doing this?

00:34:13.100 It's gone incredibly viral. The piece has gone out there because they think and here's here's the issue.

00:34:18.860 And this is something and I think you can answer. Does she think that the D.A. is in Philadelphia is actually going to do anything to her?

00:34:27.480 She I would say she doesn't. I can't speak for her, but I don't think she does.

00:34:31.520 Just a month ago, we got our phone smashed when we were covering a protest at City Hall.

00:34:36.100 And that individual who smashed my phone actually got diversion.

00:34:40.940 So the D.A. doesn't hold anybody accountable.

00:34:43.600 And these radical leftists know it.

00:34:45.540 So they feel they can do whatever they want.

00:34:47.820 And that's why the atmosphere is especially hostile and violent in Philadelphia for people who are Republicans.

00:34:56.400 Well, and you've actually gone and had a few a few run ins with the D.A. as well.

00:35:01.520 The Soros D.A. there, Larry Krasner.

00:35:03.980 His response, he blames things on Trump. He blames things on ice. But that wasn't Donald Trump pepper spraying people on the bus.

00:35:11.360 That wasn't ice pepper spraying people on the bus. That was one of these cretins that's supporting him. 1.00

00:35:17.620 Yes, exactly. And when I actually had an interaction with him, I just asked why I wasn't allowed in his previous town hall, 0.99

00:35:24.080 because he had his supporters literally block me from entering his town hall because he knew I disagreed with him.

00:35:30.200 So I asked him why, and he grabbed my phone. So even Larry Krasner himself assaulted me in a park.

00:35:36.100 So it's insane. But the silver lining here is that septic crimes, the transit authority in Philadelphia and eastern Pennsylvania,

00:35:45.380 they can be prosecuted by the state of Pennsylvania, and that's what we want to see happen.

00:35:50.160 Because these people, these agitators, these Marxists, these anarchists, they need to be held accountable.

00:35:56.160 They need to be identified. They need charges need to be pressed and they need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law to stop this political violence.

00:36:06.120 Well, that's an interesting point that you make, because even though the governor of Pennsylvania is currently Democrat Josh Shapiro, Republicans actually won the attorney general seat in 2024, as well as the Senate race with Dave McCormick, president with Donald Trump.

00:36:21.420 But Dave Sunday also won as the attorney general candidate.

00:36:25.680 And so there is actually a Republican attorney general there in office.

00:36:30.960 And that's a great point that you make that in on a SEPTA bus that the state can actually come in and level charges because that is actually a state related agency.

00:36:40.660 Yes. And the state actually had to step in because Larry Crassner was doing such a bad job in keeping people safe on SEPTA.

00:36:48.060 So the state stepped in and fortunately they did.

00:36:50.740 And I'm hoping that we can see justice served and the state can help out here.

00:36:55.680 Well, I hope you do.

00:36:56.680 And as you go through this investigation, as it proceeds, I want you to come back on.

00:37:01.160 Let us know what the developments are for now, though, for people who want to support

00:37:05.300 you, support your work.

00:37:06.460 Tell them where they can go.

00:37:08.540 Surgemedia.us.

00:37:09.680 We have a website up if people want to donate.

00:37:12.260 We are using those funds to maybe get a car, get security so that we don't run into these

00:37:16.820 radicals because that situation escalated very fast.

00:37:19.760 we don't know or we do know what these people are capable of and it's not pretty if you would

00:37:25.160 like to see our social medias surgemedia.us you can find all our social medias like and share

00:37:31.200 our videos we're trying to spread information rooted in truth faith and accountability far

00:37:36.240 and wide and we're going to save the united states save the united states and it starts

00:37:43.700 in america's birthplace philadelphia frank thanks so much man thanks for keeping the flame going

00:37:48.400 Thank you for having me.

00:37:49.660 We'll be right back.

00:37:59.040 Jack is a great guy.

00:38:00.560 He's written a fantastic book.

00:38:02.280 Everybody's talking about it.

00:38:03.480 Go get it.

00:38:04.640 And he's been my friend right from the beginning of this whole beautiful event.

00:38:08.560 And we're going to turn it around and make our country great again.

00:38:11.760 Amen.

00:38:12.100 all right folks we are back here on human events daily kind of an interesting next guest that we

00:38:22.360 have coming up because normally when i introduce this guy i say he's the opinion editor of human

00:38:28.800 events but he's actually coming on he went and said you know what i don't do enough work i guess

00:38:33.440 we haven't assigned him enough work over at human events because he's taken on another title kenny

00:38:39.340 Cody joins us again. Kenny, what are you up to? What's going on with all this stuff right here down in Tennessee?

00:38:45.120 Well, Jack, it's an honor to be on with you, brother.

00:38:47.120 On Friday, I announced my candidacy for the Tennessee House of Representatives District 11,

00:38:52.100 which consists of Cott County, Hamlin County, and Jefferson County.

00:38:56.440 Slivers of Hamlin County and Jefferson County and all of Cott County.

00:39:00.060 Representative Jerry Fasier announced his retirement, and I'm making my bid to become the Republican nominee for that position on August 6th.

00:39:07.400 So we got that. We got the Appalachian kid running as a Republican for Tennessee's 11th house district.

00:39:16.320 All right, Kenny, why should anyone who's in that district, why should they vote for you?

00:39:22.040 Well, over the last 10 years of my life, I grew up here in these mountains and over the last 30 years, I've grew up in these mountains.

00:39:27.460 But over the last 10 years, I've dedicated myself to public service, whether that's been as a school teacher at Cosby High School and Cosby Elementary School,

00:39:33.760 where that's been the GOP chair of the Cock County Republican Party for the last seven years of my life.

00:39:38.880 And just being in this community and seeing how it recovered from Hurricane Helene,

00:39:42.120 where these churches, the local government, and the state government all banded together in the midst of disaster,

00:39:47.420 I realized that in the midst of Jeremy Fasian's retirement, I wanted to step up to become the man of the arena,

00:39:53.000 just like Teddy Roosevelt said.

00:39:55.160 I have seen that this community deserves somebody who is a native,

00:39:58.180 I deserve to be an East Tennessean that knows that we're going to embody the mountain conservative Christian values that every family in this district, every man, every woman, and every child in this district embodies.

00:40:09.320 And I know I can bring that to the Tennessee House of Representatives in Nashville and bring some Smoky Mountain conservatism into the halls of Cordell Hull.

00:40:15.720 And I know that over the next six months, I'm going to go knock every door.

00:40:19.500 I'm going to go meet every Appalachian constituent that I've got and earn votes and get to know the Christian conservative values that our district embodies.

00:40:26.900 And I know that I can bring that representation to House District 11.

00:40:31.920 Well, Smoky Mountain conservatism.

00:40:34.720 Now, would that be possibly related to populist conservatism?

00:40:39.020 Because I know, Kenny Cody, when I've read your op-eds, when I've read your work, you do not have a lot of, I'll put it this way, you don't really spare your powder when it comes to the establishment conservatives.

00:40:51.100 You are a rock-ribbed populist, as populist as they come.

00:40:55.740 I'm a populist that goes out and listens to his constituents.

00:40:58.700 Look, I've always said that populism is a tool to go out and listen to constituents, go out and listen to the low-propensity voters, the high-propensity voters, and all those who care about their values.

00:41:08.900 And the Christian conservative values that this district embodies, I know that I'm going to go out.

00:41:13.300 I'm going to go and listen to these people.

00:41:15.620 I'm going to go and listen to my future constituents and then get people to vote that may have not voted before, those low-propensity voters that may feel like they've never been heard.

00:41:23.860 and I'm going to use populism to hear them.

00:41:27.380 I want to hear those Appalachian voices.

00:41:29.360 I want to hear these mountain values

00:41:30.760 and these Christian conservative values

00:41:32.040 that my district I know embodies.

00:41:34.120 I've done that over the last seven years

00:41:35.520 as the Republican Party chairman,

00:41:36.760 helping Republican candidates,

00:41:38.320 both statewide, countywide, and nationally,

00:41:41.340 be able to go out and listen to my constituents.

00:41:43.580 And I know that I can do the same thing

00:41:44.940 as the Tennessee House representative

00:41:46.740 in the state house.

00:41:47.860 And I'm going to use populism

00:41:49.240 to get to know that the working class issues

00:41:51.160 that our district embodies.

00:41:52.380 They don't want their jobs going overseas. They don't want illegal immigrants coming in and committing crimes and violence against the people of House District 11 and taking their jobs. 0.98

00:42:02.540 We want to ensure that Tennessee is a safe haven for Tennessee families, for Christian conservatives, and for everybody here to live in peace and to have that economic educational prosperity that this district deserves.

00:42:14.700 I know that I'm going to use my skill, use populism, and be able to go out and listen to those values, just like the vice president, J.D. Vance, did.

00:42:22.640 I know that I can do that, and I'm going to thrive to do that over the next six months.

00:42:27.780 Well, you know, Kenny, when it comes to those middle American conservatives, Appalachian conservatives, we know, obviously, the president, President Trump, has put so much stock in this area, of course, appointing and raising J.D. Vance as his vice president.

00:42:43.100 But I do also have to say that when I go around and look at the human events, the human events columns, the human events writings, I always know that there's one guy that we've got that if you want to get something on the president's desk and get it up on his true social, that you got to hand that assignment over to Kenny Cody.

00:43:02.540 Do you have did you have ever counted how many times President Trump has shared your work?

00:43:07.560 I think about 25.

00:43:08.860 And he's also shared media clips of me talking about him.

00:43:11.880 Of course you've got it.

00:43:13.620 I know I did.

00:43:14.800 I went by and counted.

00:43:15.640 It's such a privilege to be a MAGA warrior.

00:43:19.000 I have went by and counted.

00:43:19.660 No, it's amazing.

00:43:20.960 It's amazing.

00:43:22.280 Yes.

00:43:22.700 And I'm a little.

00:43:23.800 It's really amazing.

00:43:24.980 And he has shared.

00:43:26.680 He has shared.

00:43:27.820 And he reads them.

00:43:28.620 People don't realize that when the president gets something, a lot of people out there in the media, they think, oh, President Trump, you know, he just tweeted that out.

00:43:36.180 He's whatever.

00:43:37.140 You know, he's just putting it up there.

00:43:38.260 his staff does that for him. No, sir. No, sir. President Trump has the articles printed out for

00:43:44.480 him. I know this for a fact. I've seen them. I've seen them in the White House. He has the articles

00:43:48.540 printed out for them. If he likes it, he says, let's make sure we get this up on Truth Social

00:43:53.120 or he'll tweet it out himself. And in many cases, he'll even write on the articles and then have

00:43:59.520 that mailed to you. Exactly. And he's done that for me before. He's recognized my work. He's

00:44:04.100 emailed me those articles with his signature, and he's seen how I speak for the Appalachian

00:44:08.420 conservatives here in House District 11. I've done my best to represent the values here. I made that

00:44:14.180 clear in my articles. I always brag about my home. I'm so proud to be from Cock County. I'm so proud

00:44:19.440 to be from House District 11 being connected to Jeff and Hamlin County, and I know that over the

00:44:23.760 next six months, I'm going to be able to be connected to the president. I'm going to promote

00:44:26.920 his values. I'm going to make sure that our local law enforcement has the funding to work with the

00:44:30.940 us to deport illegal immigrants and to arrest those illegals that are coming in here and committing 0.99

00:44:35.780 crime and violence against our people and protect our homeland. That's exactly what our district 0.99

00:44:40.520 needs. We need to bring economic prosperity here to make sure we're not outsourcing jobs,

00:44:44.560 bring economic prosperity here for small businesses to thrive, for agriculture to thrive.

00:44:48.340 And I know by safeguarding the families of District 11, we can make that happen.

00:44:53.580 Now, I know that, you know, coming in, you know, obviously in your area, you've got a certain

00:44:58.800 certain types of issues. But as Tennessee writ large comes in, we've seen a number of crime

00:45:03.680 issues, at least prior to the president's efforts there in Memphis, other parts of the state.

00:45:09.600 When you're looking at issues statewide that affect Tennessee, would you be supportive of

00:45:14.460 the president's efforts there and continuing those efforts to help to keep and maintain the peace

00:45:20.240 in a once great city like Memphis that should be made great again? It is being made great again.

00:45:25.320 Absolutely. I hope the National Guard comes in and continues to help Memphis and even in Nashville.

00:45:30.800 I wrote an article a few months ago that talked about how Mayor Freddie O'Connell in Nashville was opposing ICE agents and exposing them and trying to out them and dox them and endanger ICE agents by simply coming in there and deporting illegal immigrants and arresting those aliens that are coming here and committing crime.

00:45:46.740 I would ensure that I would work with the Trump administration, call out the local officials that are rejecting that help, and call for the National Guard to be sent in.

00:45:54.380 Listen, if the local government, if the local mayors and the bureaucracy in these cities and in these counties are not going to step up, then the federal government should come in and ensure that our people are safe because Americans come first.

00:46:07.820 The government doesn't come first. 0.86

00:46:09.440 The foreigners don't come first. 0.92

00:46:11.020 Criminals don't come first.

00:46:12.560 In our state, Tennesseans come first.

00:46:14.460 And in this country, Americans come first.

00:46:16.640 And that has to be prioritized, and I'll make sure it's prioritized in Nashville.

00:46:22.160 Look, folks, I'll just say it.

00:46:23.980 You know, President Trump has, I believe they say, taken a shine to Mr. Kenny Cody and taken a shine to his writings.

00:46:32.960 And I think it's because the power of his convictions that he speaks with, the ability to be a voice for his community, especially in an area, as we know, the MAGA movement going back 10 years ago, an area that gets overlooked and has been overlooked by so much of the country for so long.

00:46:50.200 You play the game of the East Coast and the West Coast.

00:46:52.580 You miss all the people in the middle, especially communities that are filled with great people like Kenny Cody.

00:46:58.760 So when those voices get raised up by President Trump, it's incredible to see folks and patriots like yourself, Kenny, to actually step up and meet the moment to say, I'm willing to do this.

00:47:09.940 I'm willing to put my hand up.

00:47:11.100 Where can people go to connect not just with your writing, but also with your campaign?

00:47:16.440 Yeah, I usually just say at Katie Cody TN, but it's kind of expanded past that now.

00:47:20.640 You can go follow our campaign account, Cody War Room TN on Twitter.
