Jack Posobrand is a commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran. He's also a writer, podcaster, and all-around entertainer. And now, he's here to talk about all of it.
00:06:10.500Was there any of them that could even give you the answer?
00:06:14.340The only one that actually even gave me a number was Mayor Adams of New York.
00:06:18.940At least he came prepared, understanding what the hearing was about.
00:06:22.640The other three, they were trying to defend the same crazy agenda from Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and the Democrat Party.
00:06:29.720And it was so crazy, like really what pissed me off was the non-answers given to so many of my colleagues on basic stuff like, would you work with ICE if they have a detainer for an illegal immigrant?
00:06:41.440And they kept going down this line of, well, if it's a criminal detainer, yeah, we'll do it.
00:06:45.820Which means that if ICE just puts in the order for deportation procedures, you have these blue city mayors that will protect the illegal immigrants against following federal law and orders from ICE and from the Trump administration.
00:07:01.800So by the time questioning got to me, I was already upset and furious with them.
00:07:06.700And then we started going through just the details of, well, how much money did you spend?
00:07:10.720And they couldn't even give you a clear answer, which demonstrates that they are not serious about following the will of the American people.
00:07:17.880And I would add the will of the citizens of their own cities.
00:07:21.300Because if you ask people in Chicago, in New York, in Denver, in Boston, they don't want to see rampant illegal immigration and see their taxpayer dollars go to protecting it.
00:07:40.420And, of course, the mayor of Philadelphia didn't even show up.
00:07:43.140And I remember you spent so much time in Philadelphia during the 2024 election going there, meeting with people, actually finding out what the voters' concerns were.
00:07:52.200I'm from the Philadelphia area originally.
00:07:54.400And they won't even show their face when it comes to one of these situations because they know that the constituents and the residents of the city are sick of this.
00:08:02.920And they're sick of the idea that people who shouldn't be here in the first place are put at the very front of the line when it comes to taxpayer funding.
00:08:26.840I asked him several times, what's the number?
00:08:28.880He keeps saying 1% of your budget, and I don't think he was being accurate, but that's what he kept saying in committee.
00:08:35.420And so the question is, if you're the mayor and you don't even know how much money you've spent on this, that's a problem.
00:08:41.040But on a bigger note, they spent their time blaming Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott for their illegal immigration problems when it was Joe Biden that unleashed this massive illegal immigration on our country.
00:08:54.760And they didn't do anything to try to get Joe Biden to reverse course.
00:08:59.560We're just happy that the American people did the heavy lifting, getting rid of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and bringing Donald Trump back.
00:09:17.080Like with USAID, it was just 1% of the federal budget, or, you know, it's less than 1%.
00:09:21.840No, when you're talking about budgets like this, I'm sure that the budget of Chicago is probably something like $15, $20 million, or excuse me, billion dollars.
00:09:32.100So 1% of that is an extremely large amount of money.
00:09:35.920But of course, they try to play these games with the numbers.
00:09:39.720Like if I go to my wife and I said, don't worry, sweetheart, I've only spent 1% of our income, you know, giving it to the, you know, the drug dealers down the street.
00:10:56.060Hopefully that gets done in a couple years from now.
00:10:58.980But, you know, that's why people are leaving those states and coming to red states that value liberty, value the Constitution, and want citizens to be put first.
00:11:41.340Making sure that in Florida we are not going to allow for sanctuary status and we're going to work with the Trump administration to remove illegal aliens from our country.
00:11:51.280It was the number one issue on the campaign trail last year.
00:11:57.640And it's really been a blueprint for other governors around the country to join what Florida's doing in order to help the administration get our country into a much more stable place.
00:12:08.180And this is about stability for the American people and actually getting back to the rule of law.
00:12:13.760I mean, but that's specific to that issue.
00:12:16.700So you're going to take that, build upon that, continue that trajectory in order to work with the Trump administration and future administrations so that we do not have an illegal alien crisis, which is man-made and politically made in our country going forward.
00:12:33.180And when you talk about the basic breakdown in law enforcement, you have these areas all across the country.
00:12:40.060I know Philadelphia because that's where I'm from.
00:12:41.660But you have these cities, these major cities, New York, Chicago, Phoenix, where they won't even participate in the basic legal functions.
00:12:52.100There's something that I've talked about for a while, and it's this breakdown in the attacks on the underpinnings of society itself and civilization itself.
00:13:01.980When we talk about law and order, it's not, you know, as a conservative, as a Republican, it's not really supposed to be a red versus blue thing.
00:13:09.540It's supposed to be a, hey, can you live your life, and is your quality of life going to be going up or down?
00:13:15.340You know, I think everybody agrees that we don't want crime, that we don't want drug dealers, that we don't want criminal illegals.
00:13:21.440And so, Governor, is that something, or excuse me, Governor, soon-to-be Governor, soon-to-be Governor, in your gubernatorial campaign that you'll be highlighting when it comes to really, really contrasting with what the other side is putting up?
00:13:35.780Absolutely. We want Florida to continue to be the model of how you govern a state, how you organize a state.
00:13:43.420Look, before you get into Republicans and Democrats and news cycles and media reports, the purpose of government is to essentially organize the society, state government, obviously, the states and the people that live within them,
00:13:57.160in order to have a cohesive, organized model where people can live in harmony and peace, where people can build a business, put food on the table, grow their families, kids can get educated,
00:14:08.900and you have a harmonious culture that allows for people to just live their best lives, to be fruitful in their lives, to be allowed to have their property, allowed to worship their God, allowed to have relationships with their fellow man.
00:14:25.460The government's job is just to organize some of the things that people can't do for themselves.
00:14:29.920So, while everybody wants to talk about this new program or how much money we're going to spend over here, a lot of times in America, we've forgotten the basics of what government's job is supposed to be.
00:16:14.420Blackout Coffee is stepping up, adding more warriors to get your orders out faster than ever.
00:16:20.040So, when you hit the order now button, you know your coffee is coming fresh and ready to fuel your next move.
00:16:25.840Whether you're powering through the daily grind, chasing big goals, or just refusing to settle mediocrity, Blackout Coffee has got your back.
00:17:15.720The U.S. blocking intelligence sharing with the Ukrainians.
00:17:19.600But there's another piece of this that I think a lot of people missed in that Financial Times article.
00:17:24.120And I want to go deep in because not only, and Mike Waltz has been out there talking about this, Keith Kellogg, by the way, General Kellogg doing a fantastic job saying that the Ukrainians brought this on themselves.
00:17:36.240The Ukrainians brought this on themselves, particularly President Zelensky.
00:17:57.680But the big part of it, the big part that a lot of people missed, is that the U.S. is also telling Five Eyes partners to pause their sharing with the Ukrainians.
00:18:08.900So what is the Five Eyes system and how does it work?
00:18:11.800The Five Eyes intelligence system is an intelligence sharing agreement between the U.S. and the Anglosphere, so the English-speaking countries.
00:18:21.380These are the five big English-speaking countries that the United States shares intelligence with.
00:18:27.980So what we do in the military or in the intelligence community is we produce these documents.
00:18:33.240We then share them with our Five Eyes partners.
00:18:58.640And the Trump administration is saying, no, we don't want you to do that.
00:19:01.860But deep, deep, deep, deep, deep buried lead inside the Financial Times London article.
00:19:08.740Sources on the ground said that they would continue sharing in-country asset information with the Ukrainians.
00:19:18.000So for the Trump administration, and I know that they've been looking at this, the question is, is Five Eyes itself something that they want to look at?
00:19:27.840Is the Five Eyes program a relic of the Cold War era?
00:19:32.300Is this something that the United States really still needs to have going forward?
00:19:38.940Because, and I'll tell you right now, and I'll say this as a former intelligence officer, the majority, the bulk of the intel that's going into the Five Eyes program, guess what?
00:21:27.040So, yesterday, here on the program, we did a little bit of a talk.
00:21:32.080We did a little bit of a discussion about someone by the name of Amy Coney Barrett.
00:21:37.920After the program, I penned an op-ed for humanevents.com, which has since gone absolutely viral.
00:21:45.880And I said, Amy Coney Barrett is a warning against the dangers of Republican DEI.
00:21:52.660It shows the danger of Republican DEI.
00:21:55.840When we say, hey, here's someone who says she's a conservative, and she's with us on this one issue, and also it's a woman, and it's an election year, and let's get all behind this.
00:22:06.800Well, it kind of goes to show you that we need to be a little bit more discerning in the future when it comes to these judicial nominees.
00:22:15.840Someone who knows quite a bit about this process is Mike Davis from the Article III Project, and he joins us.
00:22:21.560Now, Mike, I've got to get your take on this situation and where things stand with us, with Amy Coney Barrett, with decisions like this on USAID.
00:22:32.480Well, I agree with your assessment on Justice Amy Coney Barrett.
00:22:37.620She was picked because she's a woman to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
00:22:43.280You know, she's a qualified pick, but she certainly was not the best pick.
00:22:47.300And maybe we should have picked someone who wasn't on the Seventh Circuit for two years with just a small track record.
00:22:56.900She got picked because she had her Seventh Circuit hearing that I oversaw as the Senate Judiciary Chairman's Chief Counsel for Nominations, where she, you know, Senator Dianne Feinstein attacked her for being too Catholic, essentially.
00:23:11.620So that's what made Amy Coney Barrett a star, and I think people got taken by that, and they looked at her emotionally instead of rationally and looking at her record.
00:23:26.220She's not going to become some turncoat liberal.
00:23:29.500She's just, you know, she's going into the chief justice's camp where she's just kind of incremental in her approach.
00:23:38.160I would say that she's weak and that she's scared of her shadow, but incremental might be a nicer way to put it.
00:23:45.960I've also said that she's a rattled law professor with her head up her ass.
00:23:50.460That's what I say when I'm upset, but it's a pretty good assessment.
00:23:55.420I think your assessment's correct, Jack.
00:23:57.000Yeah, and I went through, you know, in the piece, and people go see it at humanevents.com.
00:24:03.260I went through a number of these decisions where, as you say, you know, remember those statements she was making, like, oh, we need to turn down the temperature.
00:24:11.280And, you know, I think that was on immunity or one of those other decisions.
00:24:14.740You know, these comments that she's making.
00:24:16.800And then, of course, that clip of her from President's address the other night where she's just mean mugging him.
00:24:22.380She's just straight mean mugging President Trump as he walks by there.
00:24:27.260And I think a lot of people have to look at it.
00:24:37.600But who – what we can do is learn from the situation and then also make corrections for the future should, by the way, I don't know, Stephen Breyer step down or something like that, or potentially Thomas, who has talked about retiring.
00:24:51.140President Trump easily could have another pick that comes up during his tenure.
00:24:55.180Who were the conduits that were really most pushing of Amy Coney Barrett?
00:25:02.220Because when you look at across – you look out across the conservative legal movement, I mean, someone has to actually nominate these people.
00:25:14.680Well, they made the mistake the last time of only wanting to pick a woman because Ruth Bader Ginsburg died and, you know, they had to have a woman.
00:25:21.300Well, there aren't a lot of – I mean, here's the bottom line.
00:25:25.320There aren't a lot of women who could be judicial nominees because in order to be a judicial nominee, you typically are a litigator in a law firm for at least a dozen years or you're a prosecutor for at least a dozen years.
00:25:42.180Under the ABA standards, you have to be a lawyer for at least a dozen years.
00:25:45.760We don't follow that on the Republican side.
00:25:47.560But, you know, that just gives you a ballpark.
00:25:50.140So if you're not – how many women go into litigation?
00:26:01.520And then how many of those women who make it to law firm partners are conservative women, which it's just like you're looking for the needle in the haystack.
00:26:10.540There are a lot of good conservative women out there.
00:26:13.960There are a lot of good conservative minorities out there.
00:26:15.820They're actually my favorite people because conservative women and minorities tend to be the most bold and fearless because they have to take so much crap from the left, like Justice Clarence Thomas being called Uncle Tom his whole life because he escaped the Democrat plantation.
00:26:32.180Or, you know, Justice or Judge Eileen Cannon getting criticized out of Florida because she escaped the Democrat kitchen.
00:26:39.120And so I do like conservative women and minorities, but we can't pick them because they're a conservative or minority.
00:26:46.580We have to pick them based upon merit because they're the best pick.
00:26:50.620And I don't think Amy Coney Barrett was the best pick.
00:26:53.080And so when we're going forward, so when we, when we go forward, so let's, let's play out the hypothetical, play out the hypothetical.
00:27:02.940We're not going to say who it is, but there's an opening.
00:27:05.820Although, of course, that does, that does occasionally color the choice.
00:27:11.300What should President Trump, the Department of Justice, the White House, what are things they should be looking for when it comes to a judicial nominee?
00:27:20.340Because I remember a lot of people saying, oh, she's, she's going to be another Alito or it was a Scalia, excuse me, another Scalia, another Scalia.
00:27:35.620I mean, I think she got rattled by the protest outside of her home during the Dobbs decision.
00:27:41.760And that's unfortunate, but that was the intended effects by President Biden and Attorney General Merrick Garland.
00:27:46.820And now I think she's rattled and she's trying to reel it in to protect her kids.
00:27:51.520And that's unfortunate that she has to do that.
00:27:53.720But if she can't follow the law, then maybe she should go back to Notre Dame law school, right?
00:27:58.380Because your job as a Supreme Court justice is to boldly and fearlessly follow the law.
00:28:04.760And if there's a reason you can't do that, if you're compromised in any way, you need to step down and let someone else do the job.
00:28:11.020I'll say this, President Trump talked about relying on people like Leonard Leo in the Federal Society in his first term.
00:28:17.580That's not going to happen in his first term.
00:28:19.300He's going to rely on people like Mike Davis, me, and the Article III project.
00:28:23.540And we're going to pick even more bold and fearless judges this time.
00:28:28.060People who are not Ivy League wimps, but people who are going to boldly and fearlessly follow the law.
00:28:33.500People in the bold of Judge Eileen Cannon down in Florida.
00:28:37.400So, so, whoa, whoa, whoa, Davis, are you saying that, are you making the call right now that you would put Eileen, David, or excuse me, they put Eileen Cannon up there on the short list for Supreme Court nomination?
00:28:53.660I, maybe I already have, who knows, Jack, but I would say this.
00:28:57.540I think she's, she's one of the best, if not the best pick by President Trump to put on the Supreme Court because she's bold.
00:29:14.580She did what a judge is supposed to do and follow the law.
00:29:17.500And she stood up to the Democrat mob who tried to threaten her in her home and she didn't back down.
00:29:23.520Like, maybe Justice Amy Coney Barrett could take a lesson from Judge Eileen Cannon about being bold and fearless and not backing down and following the law.
00:31:25.260I'm going to fight every day for President Trump because I think he's going to fight every day for real Americans in real America.
00:31:32.060And he's actually doing what he promised American voters he would do, which is cut, waste, fraud, and abuse in Washington, D.C.
00:31:40.600I know that's shocking to the D.C. Uniparty that a politician is actually going to deliver on his campaign promises.
00:31:47.100But I would say this to these judges, these activist judges who are getting in President Trump's way of exercising his core Article II power under the Constitution.
00:35:55.100This is, like, fourth grade level, like, like, rap battle kind of stuff.
00:35:58.820This is something that we're supposed to believe is high art, where it's, you know, just a clear deconstruction and de-evolution of the founding fathers, obvious just historical revisionism on full display.
00:36:11.720Oh, we're going to cast a black Puerto Rican as George Washington.
00:36:17.960And this is where the Netflixification of everything started.
00:36:20.720Uh, it all started with the recasting and the race swapping and the gender swapping and all the rest of it all started with Hamilton.
00:36:27.980Well, Hamilton has just announced that they are going to be canceling their performance at the Kennedy Center.
00:36:37.240Oh, no, oh, no, all the liberals in Washington, D.C. are going to be crying into their avocado toast over this, crying into their soy lattes, because they're not going to, Hamilton is not going to come and play in D.C. at the Kennedy Center.
00:36:54.260Well, so here's what I'd like to say in response.
00:36:57.400I tweeted this out yesterday, but you know something, to all the commies that run that program, here's a flip shot.
00:37:12.640So to any patriot that's out there right now, to any red blood having American, any patriot within the sound of my voice, we are not going to Hamilton.
00:37:25.680Not just because they're giving the middle finger and thumbing their nose to President Trump, but because, honestly, the show just isn't really that good.
00:37:34.100You want to know who went to Hamilton?
00:37:36.240Let me wind back the clock a little bit.
00:37:38.740Do you remember who went to see Hamilton in the very first week he was in office back in 2017?
00:38:22.400If a conservative or any talking head said that it was good ever, you need to start questioning everything else they've ever told you because they don't understand anything about how this works.
00:38:31.800If you're going to make deconstructivist art of anything and target the founding fathers, then guess what?
00:38:38.060It is inherently not something that conservatives should be promoting.
00:38:46.220I hesitate to even use the word music because honestly, it's offensive to actual music to compare Hamilton to that.
00:38:54.420I have seen YouTube rap battles that are better than what I just heard in Hamilton.
00:38:59.220I have heard, like, my six-year-old and my four-year-old going back and forth and making up little songs in their backseat of the car when we're on a long drive that sound better than anything that Lin-Manuel Miranda has put together.
00:40:04.540It's 365 days a year right there at the Kennedy Center.
00:40:09.200And I heard, by the way, that they're also working on a very special Christmas show at the Kennedy Center as well.
00:40:15.400I love it, putting the real truth of the greatest story ever told and the greatest man to ever walk the face of the earth, Christ Jesus, on full display in our nation's capital.
00:40:25.700That's the kind of capital that I want to be a part of.
00:40:28.740That's the kind of country that we should have.
