00:00:25.780 The Poso Daily Brief.

00:00:30.000 This is what happens when the fourth turning meets fifth generation warfare.

00:00:39.300 A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran.

00:00:45.980 This is Human Events with your host, Jack Poso.

00:00:48.900 Christ is here.

00:00:50.100 How much did the city of New York actually spend on illegal immigration?

00:00:52.560 6.9 billion of taxpayers' dollars.

00:00:55.700 6.9 billion dollars of taxpayer money on a problem that was fostered on the American people.

00:01:03.340 Mayor Wu, in the city of Boston, how much did you spend?

00:01:06.440 We don't ask about immigration status and delivering citizens.

00:01:08.980 You don't ask about how much money the city of Boston has spent on illegal immigration?

00:01:13.380 Are you out of your mind?

00:01:14.280 We don't distinguish between immigration status.

00:01:15.900 Do you manage your budget or not, Mayor Wu?

00:01:17.940 Every crime committed by an illegal alien, every child raped by an illegal alien, every public 0.94

00:01:24.220 safety trap by an illegal alien could have been preventable and not supposed to be here. 0.92

00:01:28.380 It doesn't matter who does more.

00:01:30.620 These are preventable crimes if we secure the border.

00:01:33.160 The House has resolved that Representative Al Green be censured,

00:01:37.080 that Representative Al Green forthwith present himself in the well of the House of Representatives

00:01:41.940 for the pronouncement of censure,

00:01:43.480 and that Representative Al Green be censured.

00:01:47.260 It's like, you right now should come out and be like, you know what?

00:01:50.300 The young man who's about to win the state championship and the long jump in female sports,

00:01:54.600 that shouldn't happen.

00:01:56.340 You as the governor should step out and say no.

00:01:58.180 No, and I appreciate it.

00:01:59.500 But like, would you do something like that?

00:02:00.980 Would you say no men in female sports? 0.99

00:02:02.440 Well, I think it's an issue of fairness.

00:02:04.080 I completely agree with you on that.

00:02:05.680 So that's easy to call out, the unfairness of that.

00:02:07.780 There's also a humility and a grace that these poor people are more likely to commit suicide, 1.00

00:02:13.720 have anxiety and depression.

00:02:15.360 And the way that people talk down to vulnerable communities is an issue

00:02:19.040 that I have a hard time with as well.

00:02:21.580 So both things I can hold in my hand.

00:02:24.320 Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard.

00:02:25.880 Today's issue edition of Human Events Daily here in Washington, D.C.

00:02:30.600 Today is March 6, 2025, Anno Domini.

00:02:34.960 You saw that clip right there from Governor Gavin Newsom talking with Charlie Kirk,

00:02:39.460 saying that he opposes trans and women's sports, but also that there's a certain humility.

00:02:48.100 There's a grace, if you will, with his like weird, like fake Jack Nicholson accent.

00:02:53.140 It's like, dude, clear your throat for the love of God.

00:02:55.560 You got marbles in there.

00:02:56.420 So you have these people that he's saying who experience suicidal tendencies, suicidal ideation,

00:03:06.480 if they don't get their trans surgery or as it's referred to, gender affirming care.

00:03:10.920 However, all of that was debunked in a study that no one seems to be talking about.

00:03:16.160 So it falls to us Human Events Daily as usual to talk about it.

00:03:19.940 This is in the Oxford Journal of Sexual Medicine, examining gender-specific mental health risks

00:03:27.340 after gender-affirming surgery, a national database survey.

00:03:31.660 Results, and you need to hear this number.

00:03:33.280 Leave it up on the screen, guys.

00:03:34.260 From 107,583 patients, match cohorts, demonstrated that those undergoing surgery

00:03:44.020 were at significantly higher risk for depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation,

00:03:51.720 and substance use disorders than those without the surgery.

00:03:56.480 Males with the surgery showed a higher prevalence of depression, 25% versus 11%.

00:04:03.260 Anxiety, 12% versus 2%.

00:04:07.040 Females exhibited similar trends with elevated depression, 22% versus 14%.

00:04:13.560 Anxiety, 10% versus 7%.

00:04:16.140 Here we go.

00:04:17.680 Feminizing individuals, so when you have male to female transgender surgery, 0.72

00:04:23.220 demonstrated a particularly high risk for depression nearly at a rate of 1.783

00:04:31.160 and substance use disorders at 1.2.

00:04:34.440 So that means almost double the risk of depression.

00:04:38.720 Almost double the risk of depression if you have this surgery.

00:04:43.660 What are we doing to our children?

00:04:45.920 What are we doing?

00:04:46.640 People laugh about this stuff.

00:04:48.380 You talk about suicides.

00:04:49.680 You talk about teen suicides.

00:04:51.100 You talk about all the suicides that are going on out there.

00:04:53.500 What are we doing?

00:04:54.740 All the doctors who knew about this need to be investigated.

00:04:59.040 They need to have their licenses revoked.

00:05:01.520 Any clinic, any survey out there, any center that's running this needs to be shut down immediately.

00:05:07.900 President Trump, Bobby Kennedy, pull all the funding.

00:05:11.120 We'll be right back.

00:05:11.720 Welcome to the second American Revolution. 0.56

00:05:26.280 All right, Jack Pesoba, here we are back live, Washington, D.C.

00:05:29.720 Very excited to have once again here on Human Events Daily.

00:05:33.980 We've got Florida Congressman Byron Donalds joining us here.

00:05:38.380 He's live.

00:05:38.920 He's up there putting the hurt on a number of these Sanctuary City mayors yesterday in the hearing.

00:05:45.420 The congressman joins us now.

00:05:46.720 Congressman, how are you?

00:05:48.260 It's good to be with you, Jack.

00:05:49.260 Thanks for having me back, man.

00:05:51.380 Well, walk me through this hearing.

00:05:54.060 And it seems like you went through, to me, asking very basic questions of these mayors.

00:06:00.180 Hey, where's your budget on this?

00:06:02.780 Okay, where is your balance sheet?

00:06:04.920 This is how much money you have.

00:06:06.380 This is how much money was spent on these illegals. 0.89

00:06:09.400 Can you tell me how much?

00:06:10.500 Was there any of them that could even give you the answer?

00:06:14.340 The only one that actually even gave me a number was Mayor Adams of New York.

00:06:18.940 At least he came prepared, understanding what the hearing was about.

00:06:22.640 The other three, they were trying to defend the same crazy agenda from Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and the Democrat Party.

00:06:29.720 And 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?

00:06:41.440 And they kept going down this line of, well, if it's a criminal detainer, yeah, we'll do it.

00:06:45.820 Which 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.

00:07:01.800 So by the time questioning got to me, I was already upset and furious with them.

00:07:06.700 And then we started going through just the details of, well, how much money did you spend?

00:07:10.720 And they couldn't even give you a clear answer, which demonstrates that they are not serious about following the will of the American people.

00:07:17.880 And I would add the will of the citizens of their own cities.

00:07:21.300 Because 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.

00:07:34.560 Their citizens are sick of it.

00:07:36.340 So that's why they had to be exposed yesterday in committee.

00:07:38.660 That's exactly right.

00:07:40.420 And, of course, the mayor of Philadelphia didn't even show up.

00:07:43.140 And 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.

00:07:52.200 I'm from the Philadelphia area originally.

00:07:54.400 And 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.

00:08:02.920 And 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.

00:08:10.960 No, that's absolutely correct.

00:08:12.420 I mean, Mayor Adams said they spent about $7 billion.

00:08:16.020 And I think they had the number right.

00:08:17.260 $7 billion is what he said. 1.00

00:08:19.300 And then you have Mayor Johnson in Chicago, this idiot. 1.00

00:08:22.820 He goes, well, it's 1% of our budget. 1.00

00:08:25.520 Well, what is that number?

00:08:26.840 I asked him several times, what's the number?

00:08:28.880 He keeps saying 1% of your budget, and I don't think he was being accurate, but that's what he kept saying in committee.

00:08:35.420 And 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.

00:08:41.040 But 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.

00:08:54.760 And they didn't do anything to try to get Joe Biden to reverse course.

00:08:59.560 We're just happy that the American people did the heavy lifting, getting rid of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and bringing Donald Trump back.

00:09:08.220 And it's as simple as that.

00:09:10.000 It really is as simple as that.

00:09:11.120 By the way, 1% of the, I mean, the budget of the, I love when they played that game, right?

00:09:16.300 It's just 1%.

00:09:17.080 Like with USAID, it was just 1% of the federal budget, or, you know, it's less than 1%.

00:09:21.840 No, 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.

00:09:32.100 So 1% of that is an extremely large amount of money.

00:09:35.920 But of course, they try to play these games with the numbers.

00:09:38.040 That was just 1%.

00:09:38.820 You know, it's just 1%.

00:09:39.720 Like 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.

00:09:47.360 It's totally fine.

00:09:48.420 Don't worry about it.

00:09:49.640 No, I think Tanya's going to be a little upset with me.

00:09:53.660 No, I totally agree.

00:09:55.100 Those people aren't serious.

00:09:56.660 And it's really indicative of something else.

00:09:59.380 We have to get serious, tell people the truth.

00:10:02.620 You can't have leadership like this in what has traditionally been great American cities.

00:10:08.040 Like I'm from Brooklyn, New York.

00:10:09.720 New York's a great city. 1.00

00:10:11.020 The government's a mess and it's trash, especially state government, because Kathy Hochul, she's the worst. 1.00

00:10:15.360 She's one of the worst governors we have. 1.00

00:10:17.180 She's doing a terrible job in the state of New York. 0.99

00:10:20.340 Chicago could be a great city again, but you have the current mayor that's a mess.

00:10:25.240 You have their governor who's a mess, and they're not doing the right thing out there.

00:10:28.960 I mean, look what's happened in California.

00:10:30.540 The golden state is no longer the golden state.

00:10:32.800 They have squandered all the precious resources that California has.

00:10:37.160 It's the largest state economy in our country, but their leadership in Sacramento has been atrocious.

00:10:44.100 And this is why Americans are choosing Arizona, choosing Texas, choosing Tennessee, choosing Florida.

00:10:51.040 And by the way, Arizona, you better be careful because your governor is a joke. 0.62

00:10:54.960 You need a better one.

00:10:56.060 Hopefully that gets done in a couple years from now.

00:10:58.980 But, 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.

00:11:08.920 Well, that's exactly right.

00:11:10.400 And, you know, we're talking governors, of course.

00:11:12.500 Congratulations to you, by the way, for throwing your hat in the ring for the governor's race.

00:11:17.540 They're going for the seat in Tallahassee.

00:11:20.720 Walk me through this.

00:11:21.640 You know, obviously you're talking about the issue of illegal immigration.

00:11:24.440 Governor DeSantis, of course, has made this a huge part of his portfolio.

00:11:28.300 But is this still a top issue in Florida?

00:11:31.220 It is, absolutely.

00:11:32.720 And I commend the governor and the legislature for coming together and getting that business done.

00:11:38.020 Governor DeSantis has been a leader on this.

00:11:40.000 He absolutely has.

00:11:41.340 Making 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. 0.93

00:11:51.280 It was the number one issue on the campaign trail last year.

00:11:54.520 It's still the number one issue.

00:11:56.060 Florida's leading the way on that.

00:11:57.640 And 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.

00:12:08.180 And this is about stability for the American people and actually getting back to the rule of law.

00:12:13.760 I mean, but that's specific to that issue.

00:12:15.580 It's still big in our state.

00:12:16.700 So 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.

00:12:31.320 Well, it really is as simple as that.

00:12:33.180 And when you talk about the basic breakdown in law enforcement, you have these areas all across the country.

00:12:40.060 I know Philadelphia because that's where I'm from.

00:12:41.660 But you have these cities, these major cities, New York, Chicago, Phoenix, where they won't even participate in the basic legal functions.

00:12:52.100 There'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.

00:13:01.980 When 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.

00:13:09.540 It's supposed to be a, hey, can you live your life, and is your quality of life going to be going up or down?

00:13:15.340 You 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. 0.91

00:13:21.440 And 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?

00:13:35.780 Absolutely. We want Florida to continue to be the model of how you govern a state, how you organize a state.

00:13:43.420 Look, 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,

00:13:57.160 in 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,

00:14:08.900 and 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.

00:14:25.460 The government's job is just to organize some of the things that people can't do for themselves.

00:14:29.920 So, 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.

00:14:39.480 It's supposed to be simple.

00:14:40.580 Amen.

00:14:40.980 It's supposed to be in the background.

00:14:42.900 It's as simple as that.

00:14:44.100 Congressman Byron Donald, endorsed by President Trump to be the next governor of Florida.

00:14:51.300 Follow him.

00:14:52.200 Go check him out.

00:14:52.920 That's going to be an interesting race that I think has already started eating up. 1.00

00:14:57.120 We'll be right back here at Human Events Daily.

00:15:03.960 These are influencers, and they're friends of mine.

00:15:08.540 Jack Kersovic.

00:15:10.040 Where's Jack?

00:15:12.120 He's done a great job.

00:15:13.420 All right, Jack Kersovic, we're back live here at Human Events Daily.

00:15:36.920 So, I've got to fix the flagpole because it's been very windy.

00:15:39.660 Very windy.

00:15:40.280 We're down a Navy flag.

00:15:41.720 Very upset.

00:15:42.400 Very upsetting.

00:15:43.300 Got to support Big Navy. 0.89

00:16:47.080 Wanted to get in.

00:16:47.980 So, there's been a bit of Ukraine news coming in.

00:16:51.480 Axios has a story.

00:16:52.540 A big story in Axios.

00:16:53.680 Senior U.S. and Ukrainian officials expected to meet in Saudi Arabia next week.

00:16:58.300 Now, remember, this is coming on the heels of Ukraine being shut out of the original meeting in Saudi Arabia.

00:17:06.220 That was the U.S. and Russia. 0.94

00:17:08.360 They were the ones who met together.

00:17:10.300 But let's talk about this from where it is.

00:17:12.640 The big story of the last 24 hours.

00:17:15.720 The U.S. blocking intelligence sharing with the Ukrainians.

00:17:19.600 But there's another piece of this that I think a lot of people missed in that Financial Times article.

00:17:24.120 And 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. 0.92

00:17:36.240 The Ukrainians brought this on themselves, particularly President Zelensky. 0.99

00:17:39.800 Look, I was there in the room.

00:17:40.980 I was there in the room the first time that he shut down the mineral deal, disrespected Secretary Besant.

00:17:47.280 Then he goes to Munich.

00:17:48.460 I flew up to Munich with J.D. Vance.

00:17:50.360 Then starts that down.

00:17:51.900 And Munich comes all the way back to the United States, to the White House.

00:17:55.020 And we all remember what happened there.

00:17:56.520 So they brought this on themselves.

00:17:57.680 But 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.

00:18:08.900 So what is the Five Eyes system and how does it work?

00:18:11.800 The Five Eyes intelligence system is an intelligence sharing agreement between the U.S. and the Anglosphere, so the English-speaking countries.

00:18:21.380 These are the five big English-speaking countries that the United States shares intelligence with.

00:18:27.980 So what we do in the military or in the intelligence community is we produce these documents.

00:18:33.240 We then share them with our Five Eyes partners.

00:18:35.280 So those are the five countries.

00:18:37.640 United States, Canada, U.K., Australia, and New Zealand.

00:18:41.320 And so what we're also saying is if we share something with you, don't turn around and give it to the Ukrainians. 0.99

00:18:48.580 Because we know that the U.K. has been there.

00:18:50.940 And Keir Starmer is talking about this big, oh, we're going to have a non-NATO European component inside Ukraine.

00:18:57.800 We're going to do all this.

00:18:58.640 And the Trump administration is saying, no, we don't want you to do that.

00:19:01.860 But deep, deep, deep, deep, deep buried lead inside the Financial Times London article.

00:19:08.740 Sources on the ground said that they would continue sharing in-country asset information with the Ukrainians.

00:19:18.000 So 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?

00:19:27.840 Is the Five Eyes program a relic of the Cold War era?

00:19:32.300 Is this something that the United States really still needs to have going forward?

00:19:38.220 Should we look?

00:19:38.940 Because, 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?

00:19:47.680 It's produced by the United States.

00:19:49.560 And then on the flip side of that, go look at all the abuses of the Five Eyes program. 0.82

00:19:53.720 You get the British to come in with GCHQ to spy on Americans.

00:19:57.120 They can do that without the warrant.

00:19:58.580 Then they hand that, right, that's the GCHQ is their version of the NSA.

00:20:01.920 Then they go and hand that to the FBI.

00:20:04.060 This is prior to Kash Patel going in there and cleaning house and saying, oh, look at all this information.

00:20:08.840 Go, you know, go look at the derogatory information on Americans.

00:20:11.340 That's how you get the warrantless wiretapping.

00:20:13.060 Why?

00:20:13.560 Because you can't use intel on your own citizens.

00:20:16.540 But if you get one of your buddies to do it and then hand you the report, you're not breaking the law.

00:20:21.980 And the same thing with the NSA in reverse with the UK.

00:20:24.840 Look, there's a lot of abuse there.

00:20:27.140 There's a lot of fraud.

00:20:28.240 There's a lot of use of these tools and these programs which have significant powers, significant anti-Fourth Amendment powers,

00:20:35.620 which we know is something that DNI Tulsi Gabbard is very serious about.

00:20:39.980 So, yeah, you want to play this game, UK?

00:20:41.780 We'll play that game.

00:20:42.820 We'll play that game all day long.

00:20:45.680 You want to talk about Five Eyes?

00:20:47.080 We're here.

00:20:48.060 We're ready to talk about it.

00:20:49.220 In fact, maybe it's time to end the conversation.

00:20:52.220 We'll be right back.

00:20:52.840 Human Events Daily.

00:20:53.500 Human Events Daily.

00:20:53.580 Human Events Daily.

00:20:54.500 Human Events Daily.

00:20:58.240 And Jack, where is Jack?

00:21:02.200 Where is Jack?

00:21:04.500 Where is he?

00:21:05.780 Jack, I want to see you.

00:21:07.200 Great job, Jack.

00:21:10.820 Thank you.

00:21:11.600 What a job you do.

00:21:13.020 You know, we have an incredible thing.

00:21:14.420 We're always talking about the fake news and the bad.

00:21:16.700 But we have guys.

00:21:18.180 And these are the guys who should be getting Pulisic.

00:21:20.180 All right, Jack Posobiec, here we are back.

00:21:24.360 Human Events Daily, Washington, D.C.

00:21:27.040 So, yesterday, here on the program, we did a little bit of a talk.

00:21:32.080 We did a little bit of a discussion about someone by the name of Amy Coney Barrett.

00:21:37.920 After the program, I penned an op-ed for humanevents.com, which has since gone absolutely viral.

00:21:45.880 And I said, Amy Coney Barrett is a warning against the dangers of Republican DEI.

00:21:52.660 It shows the danger of Republican DEI.

00:21:55.840 When 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.

00:22:06.800 Well, 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.

00:22:15.840 Someone who knows quite a bit about this process is Mike Davis from the Article III Project, and he joins us.

00:22:21.560 Now, 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.

00:22:32.480 Well, I agree with your assessment on Justice Amy Coney Barrett.

00:22:37.620 She was picked because she's a woman to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg. 0.99

00:22:43.280 You know, she's a qualified pick, but she certainly was not the best pick.

00:22:47.300 And maybe we should have picked someone who wasn't on the Seventh Circuit for two years with just a small track record.

00:22:56.900 She 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. 1.00

00:23:11.620 So 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.

00:23:24.160 Look, she's not liberal. 1.00

00:23:26.220 She's not going to become some turncoat liberal. 1.00

00:23:29.500 She's just, you know, she's going into the chief justice's camp where she's just kind of incremental in her approach.

00:23:38.160 I would say that she's weak and that she's scared of her shadow, but incremental might be a nicer way to put it. 1.00

00:23:45.960 I've also said that she's a rattled law professor with her head up her ass. 1.00

00:23:50.460 That's what I say when I'm upset, but it's a pretty good assessment. 0.99

00:23:55.420 I think your assessment's correct, Jack.

00:23:57.000 Yeah, and I went through, you know, in the piece, and people go see it at humanevents.com.

00:24:03.260 I 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.

00:24:11.280 And, you know, I think that was on immunity or one of those other decisions.

00:24:14.740 You know, these comments that she's making.

00:24:16.800 And then, of course, that clip of her from President's address the other night where she's just mean mugging him. 0.97

00:24:22.380 She's just straight mean mugging President Trump as he walks by there. 1.00

00:24:27.260 And I think a lot of people have to look at it.

00:24:30.280 So, Mike, walk me through this.

00:24:32.420 How does – so let's say let's – you know, we can't change it.

00:24:35.800 We can't go back on this one.

00:24:37.600 But 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.

00:24:51.140 President Trump easily could have another pick that comes up during his tenure.

00:24:55.180 Who were the conduits that were really most pushing of Amy Coney Barrett?

00:25:02.220 Because when you look at across – you look out across the conservative legal movement, I mean, someone has to actually nominate these people.

00:25:10.940 How do you get to the short list?

00:25:12.340 How does that process take place?

00:25:14.680 Well, 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.

00:25:21.300 Well, there aren't a lot of – I mean, here's the bottom line.

00:25:24.380 Here's the dirty secret.

00:25:25.320 There 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. 1.00

00:25:42.180 Under the ABA standards, you have to be a lawyer for at least a dozen years.

00:25:45.760 We don't follow that on the Republican side.

00:25:47.560 But, you know, that just gives you a ballpark.

00:25:50.140 So if you're not – how many women go into litigation? 1.00

00:25:54.660 It's a small percentage.

00:25:56.040 And then how many of those women actually stick around for 12 years? 1.00

00:25:59.640 So it's a very small percentage.

00:26:01.520 And 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. 1.00

00:26:10.540 There are a lot of good conservative women out there. 1.00

00:26:13.960 There are a lot of good conservative minorities out there.

00:26:15.820 They'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.

00:26:32.180 Or, you know, Justice or Judge Eileen Cannon getting criticized out of Florida because she escaped the Democrat kitchen. 0.99

00:26:39.120 And so I do like conservative women and minorities, but we can't pick them because they're a conservative or minority.

00:26:46.580 We have to pick them based upon merit because they're the best pick.

00:26:50.620 And I don't think Amy Coney Barrett was the best pick.

00:26:53.080 And 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.

00:27:01.940 There's an opening, right?

00:27:02.940 We're not going to say who it is, but there's an opening.

00:27:05.820 Although, of course, that does, that does occasionally color the choice.

00:27:11.300 What 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?

00:27:20.340 Because 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.

00:27:27.480 She clerked for Scalia.

00:27:28.560 She's in the mold of Scalia, Scalia, Scalia. 0.99

00:27:30.440 I heard it over and over and over and over.

00:27:32.320 And, you know, I've seen the ruling.

00:27:33.900 She ain't no Scalia. 1.00

00:27:35.620 I mean, I think she got rattled by the protest outside of her home during the Dobbs decision.

00:27:41.760 And that's unfortunate, but that was the intended effects by President Biden and Attorney General Merrick Garland.

00:27:46.820 And now I think she's rattled and she's trying to reel it in to protect her kids.

00:27:51.520 And that's unfortunate that she has to do that.

00:27:53.720 But if she can't follow the law, then maybe she should go back to Notre Dame law school, right?

00:27:58.380 Because your job as a Supreme Court justice is to boldly and fearlessly follow the law.

00:28:04.760 And 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.

00:28:11.020 I'll say this, President Trump talked about relying on people like Leonard Leo in the Federal Society in his first term.

00:28:17.580 That's not going to happen in his first term.

00:28:19.300 He's going to rely on people like Mike Davis, me, and the Article III project.

00:28:23.540 And we're going to pick even more bold and fearless judges this time.

00:28:28.060 People who are not Ivy League wimps, but people who are going to boldly and fearlessly follow the law.

00:28:33.500 People in the bold of Judge Eileen Cannon down in Florida.

00:28:37.400 So, 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?

00:28:53.660 I, maybe I already have, who knows, Jack, but I would say this.

00:28:57.540 I 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.

00:29:05.380 She's fearless.

00:29:06.680 She's going to follow the law.

00:29:08.080 We saw during the law fair against President Trump.

00:29:11.240 Sometimes she ruled for him.

00:29:13.040 Sometimes she ruled against him.

00:29:14.580 She did what a judge is supposed to do and follow the law. 1.00

00:29:17.500 And she stood up to the Democrat mob who tried to threaten her in her home and she didn't back down.

00:29:23.520 Like, 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.

00:29:34.880 Well, and you look at this, right?

00:29:37.240 What, quote unquote, repercussions has she faced? 0.98

00:29:39.920 This is, this is something that the conservative movement really needs to understand.

00:29:44.660 We need to stop thinking about, oh, what's the left going to say?

00:29:48.320 What's the mainstream media going to say?

00:29:50.180 This is the Mike Davis School of Thought.

00:29:51.860 This is the Steve Bannon School of Thought.

00:29:53.720 This is the Human Events School of Thought.

00:29:55.500 We don't care what the mainstream media says about us.

00:29:59.100 We care about getting the best person in there for the country, for the law, for justice to actually be done.

00:30:07.220 That is what we care about.

00:30:08.660 We don't care what the left says.

00:30:10.180 We don't, we definitely don't care what the legacy media says.

00:30:13.040 And so stop letting them make decisions for you.

00:30:16.080 The people of the United States elected President Trump.

00:30:20.540 They elected the House.

00:30:21.720 They elected the Senate.

00:30:23.060 Those are the people they want making the decisions when it comes to staffing, when it comes to appointments, when it comes to the rest.

00:30:28.380 And that's what you saw with President Trump's confirmations when he put through.

00:30:33.000 He said, yeah, we are going to do Pete Hegseth.

00:30:34.880 And we are going to do Kash Patel and Bobby Kennedy and Tulsi Gabbard.

00:30:38.460 And you know what?

00:30:39.140 The American people delivered a mandate.

00:30:41.160 And this is what we are going to give to them.

00:30:43.740 Davis, what is it about these D.C. Republicans where they're so worried about getting written up in the Washington Post?

00:30:51.240 They are the D.C. Republicans. 0.99

00:30:53.080 The uniparty Republicans are cowards. 0.98

00:30:55.860 And they think it's their job to manage the decay. 0.99

00:30:59.540 They are basically, they think they're the janitors for the Marxist left to clean up the mess.

00:31:03.780 And I have a different approach.

00:31:04.960 I mean, you're talking about the Jack and Mike approach.

00:31:08.420 I look, look at the, I don't care.

00:31:10.600 Growing up looking like this with red hair and a face for radio, I'm used to getting punched in the face.

00:31:16.020 And it doesn't bother me.

00:31:17.220 I actually kind of, I kind of like it when I'm getting punched in the face because I'm not used to it if I'm not, right?

00:31:22.480 So I'm going to be bold and fearless.

00:31:25.260 I'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.

00:31:32.060 And he's actually doing what he promised American voters he would do, which is cut, waste, fraud, and abuse in Washington, D.C.

00:31:40.600 I know that's shocking to the D.C. Uniparty that a politician is actually going to deliver on his campaign promises.

00:31:47.100 But 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.

00:31:56.120 Not Article I legislative power.

00:31:58.380 He's not stealing Article III judicial power.

00:32:00.680 He's exercising core Article II executive power.

00:32:04.160 These activist judges, there is going to be a tremendous political backlash if you keep doing this.

00:32:10.160 You are going to lose your funding.

00:32:11.820 You're going to lose your jurisdiction.

00:32:13.400 And you may face impeachment.

00:32:14.900 And the Article III project will make damn sure that happens. 0.92

00:32:19.360 We're not FedSoc. 0.80

00:32:20.320 We're not cucks.

00:32:21.200 We take off the gloves.

00:32:22.540 We fight back.

00:32:24.080 Well, and this is, look, President Trump is doing everything he can.

00:32:27.000 He's up there doing everything he can every single day that he can.

00:32:31.160 And so this is where the team needs to come in and push harder.

00:32:34.780 And that's exactly what the Article III project is doing.

00:32:37.660 You're giving the White House the air cover to be able to do this stuff.

00:32:41.040 And this fight is just getting started.

00:32:42.780 The midterms have just gotten started.

00:32:44.700 We've already seen how it looks like Rogers and ACB are going to be trying to pump the brakes on all of these things.

00:32:52.380 Doge, pump the brakes on USAID, pump the brakes on so many things that the president is doing.

00:32:58.940 But that's not what the American people voted for.

00:33:01.280 So you're talking economy, immigration, trans women's awards.

00:33:04.080 Those are all going to come up next.

00:33:05.600 And guess what?

00:33:06.060 If the activist judges make a ruling on it, apparently that's going to cover the entire country. 0.97

00:33:11.560 It's ridiculous. 0.79

00:33:12.400 It's not what our founders wanted. 0.77

00:33:14.000 And it's certainly not what the framers of the Constitution wanted.

00:33:16.560 Mike Davis, where can people go to support the Article III project?

00:33:20.280 Article3project.org.

00:33:21.380 You can donate there.

00:33:22.300 You can follow us on social media.

00:33:23.860 The most important thing that Human Events audience can do is take action.

00:33:27.500 And thank you, Jack.

00:33:28.160 Folks, that's what it comes down to, all right?

00:33:32.340 No more activist judges making these rulings from one district, having it affect the entire nation.

00:33:39.340 I don't know.

00:33:39.700 Maybe it's time to take a little page out of Andrew Jackson's book on that.

00:33:44.240 Stay tuned because, I don't know, we just might be right back.

00:33:58.160 Jack is a great guy.

00:34:00.220 He's written that fantastic book.

00:34:01.880 Everybody's talking about it.

00:34:03.140 Go get it.

00:34:04.280 And he's been my friend right from the beginning of this whole beautiful event.

00:34:08.220 And we're going to turn it around and make our country great again.

00:34:11.420 Amen.

00:34:11.760 Are you ready for a cabinet meeting, huh?

00:34:19.440 The issue on the table.

00:34:22.220 Secretary Hamilton's plan to assume state debt and establish a national bank.

00:34:27.180 Secretary Jefferson, you have the floor, sir.

00:34:29.940 Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

00:34:32.780 We fought for these ideals we shouldn't settle for less.

00:34:35.600 These are wise words, enterprising men, quote them.

00:34:38.400 Don't act surprised, you guys, because I wrote them.

00:34:41.120 Ow, but Hamilton forgets.

00:34:43.660 His plan would have the government assume state's debt.

00:34:46.420 Now, place your bets as to who that benefits.

00:34:49.140 The very seat of government where Hamilton sits.

00:34:51.700 Not true.

00:34:52.720 Oh, if the shoe fits, wear it.

00:34:54.620 If New York's in debt, why should Virginia bear it?

00:34:57.860 Uh, our debts are paid, I'm afraid.

00:34:59.900 Don't tax the South, because we got it made in the shade. 0.87

00:35:02.860 In Virginia, we plant seeds in the ground.

00:35:05.300 We create.

00:35:05.860 You just want to move our money around. 0.91

00:35:11.120 When I'm working long hours, I'm always listening to Human Events with Jack Posobiec.

00:35:21.200 All right, Jack Posobiec, we're back.

00:35:23.780 Human Events daily.

00:35:25.900 Uh, hear Real America's Voice, as well as welcoming the third hour of the Charlie Kirk radio audience on the Salem Radio Network.

00:35:34.840 Hamilton, the musical.

00:35:36.680 Oh, the great musical of Hamilton, which up until today, I'd never actually heard anything from any clips whatsoever.

00:35:48.040 Uh, we played a clip during the break, and I thought it was a parody.

00:35:52.100 Honestly, um, this is drivel. 0.99

00:35:54.040 This is ridiculous. 0.98

00:35:55.100 This is, like, fourth grade level, like, like, rap battle kind of stuff. 0.94

00:35:58.820 This 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.

00:36:11.720 Oh, we're going to cast a black Puerto Rican as George Washington. 0.99

00:36:15.480 It's high art.

00:36:16.460 It's wonderful.

00:36:17.040 You're going to love this.

00:36:17.960 And this is where the Netflixification of everything started.

00:36:20.720 Uh, it all started with the recasting and the race swapping and the gender swapping and all the rest of it all started with Hamilton.

00:36:27.980 Well, Hamilton has just announced that they are going to be canceling their performance at the Kennedy Center.

00:36:37.240 Oh, 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.

00:36:54.260 Well, so here's what I'd like to say in response.

00:36:57.400 I tweeted this out yesterday, but you know something, to all the commies that run that program, here's a flip shot.

00:37:04.360 Here's a flip side of it, by the way.

00:37:06.980 Why don't we boycott all of Hamilton?

00:37:11.180 Here you go.

00:37:11.780 You like that?

00:37:12.640 So 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. 0.64

00:37:23.700 Boycott this thing completely.

00:37:25.680 Not 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.

00:37:34.100 You want to know who went to Hamilton?

00:37:36.240 Let me wind back the clock a little bit.

00:37:38.740 Do you remember who went to see Hamilton in the very first week he was in office back in 2017?

00:37:44.160 Mike Pence.

00:37:45.340 Mike Pence Republicans love Hamilton.

00:37:48.380 Mike Pence conservatives love Hamilton.

00:37:51.520 They can't get enough of Hamilton.

00:37:53.940 Oh, Hamilton is so wonderful.

00:37:55.900 And you know what, by the way?

00:37:56.980 One of their next stops is in Houston.

00:37:59.420 And I saw the Houston, Texas, young Republicans have already begun getting the ball rolling on this boycott.

00:38:05.520 This is fantastic.

00:38:06.820 They posted up on their Instagram that they want to boycott this thing, telling patriots, if you have tickets, put them up on StubHub.

00:38:15.980 Sell them.

00:38:16.600 Get rid of this thing.

00:38:17.500 Just boycott across the board, Hamilton.

00:38:19.860 This thing's a joke.

00:38:20.920 The show has always been bad.

00:38:22.400 If 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.

00:38:31.800 If you're going to make deconstructivist art of anything and target the founding fathers, then guess what?

00:38:38.060 It is inherently not something that conservatives should be promoting. 0.99

00:38:43.860 Also, the music is garbage.

00:38:46.220 I hesitate to even use the word music because honestly, it's offensive to actual music to compare Hamilton to that. 0.98

00:38:54.420 I have seen YouTube rap battles that are better than what I just heard in Hamilton.

00:38:59.220 I 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.

00:39:13.720 It's a joke. 0.90

00:39:14.900 It's ridiculous. 0.99

00:39:16.320 It is horrible. 1.00

00:39:17.680 It is drivel. 0.98

00:39:19.000 Patriots should not be attending this.

00:39:21.840 Guys, think of all the better things that you could be doing with your life.

00:39:25.620 Think of all the—can we get something like Rodgers and Hammerstein out there?

00:39:29.280 You know, can we go have—I know they canceled Phantom of the Opera, but they're talking about bringing that back.

00:39:33.740 You know, how about we go to some good shows?

00:39:36.360 How about we actually promote something that is good, that is positive?

00:39:40.280 You know what I want?

00:39:41.840 You know what I want?

00:39:42.680 And I have to put in a call with, you know, Special Envoy Grinnell or something.

00:39:48.400 I want Trump the musical.

00:39:50.280 I want Trump the musical.

00:39:51.780 I want it to play at the Kennedy Center, and I'm going to sit there with Tanya Tay in the front row.

00:39:57.360 We're going to bring the kids, and I want Trump the musical playing 365 days a year.

00:40:03.160 Yes, even on Christmas.

00:40:04.540 It's 365 days a year right there at the Kennedy Center.

00:40:09.200 And I heard, by the way, that they're also working on a very special Christmas show at the Kennedy Center as well.

00:40:15.400 I 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.

00:40:25.700 That's the kind of capital that I want to be a part of.

00:40:28.740 That's the kind of country that we should have.

00:40:30.800 Get Hamilton off the stage.

00:40:32.840 You're done.

00:40:33.880 The show is over.

00:40:35.660 Exit stage left.

00:40:38.220 Ladies and gentlemen, as always, you have my permission to lay ashore.

00:40:41.920 We'll see you next time.
