Jack Posobrand, a commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran joins host Jack Christenson to discuss the latest in the Epstein scandal, the latest on the Khoe Doe case, and more.
00:01:29.220Well, no, but it's a building that's being built.
00:01:31.440Pensions rising between Thailand and Cambodia, with deadly clashes breaking out along the country's disputed border.
00:01:37.960And a warning that some of you may find these images that we are about to show you disturbing.
00:01:43.580Fighting erupted early in the morning near an ancient temple.
00:01:46.180Both sides have accused the other of firing first.
00:01:48.980Hours later, Thailand's military said it deployed fighter jets to target Cambodian military targets.
00:01:53.960A legal blow for President Trump, as a federal appeals court found that his efforts to end birthright citizenship are unconstitutional.
00:02:03.160The three-judge panel ruled 2-1 that Trump's executive order banning birthright citizenship violates the Constitution's 14th Amendment.
00:02:12.200It grants citizenship to all people born or naturalized in the U.S.
00:02:16.320The president is looking to use the ban to deny automatic citizenship to the U.S.-born children of undocumented immigrants.
00:02:24.720Many of our largest tech companies have reaped the blessings of American freedom while building their factories in China, hiring workers in India and slashing profits in Ireland.
00:21:42.600The speaker just said that we have voted on like 50 of President Trump's executive orders.
00:21:47.560So this is something that Congress needs to do because President Trump will not be president forever, and we don't know who's going to be the next president.
00:21:55.580So we need to codify into law his executive orders so that they are much harder to overturn, so that you can't overturn them with a stroke of a pen.
00:22:04.240And so I've got four that I have introduced.
00:22:19.420So we've got a good slate of bills that I'm looking forward to advocating for on the floor of the House.
00:22:25.240When it comes to the restoring truth in American history, I think that's very interesting because that lines up with what President Trump signed yesterday as an executive order regarding artificial intelligence.
00:22:37.760And saying, Congressman, that that he doesn't want any AI use in the government where the AI is teaching a non-factual or counterfactual approach to U.S. history instruction.
00:22:51.440And with this, as and as your bill says, with a focus on foundational principles, civic virtue and the unifying aspects of the American experience.
00:23:00.280Congressman, why is this so important that we codify this into law?
00:23:02.940Well, not only is it an executive order, but we don't teach civics in school anymore.
00:23:10.080So our students are getting very little truth about American history.
00:23:16.920We need to get the DEI, the wokeism out of the schools.
00:23:20.540We need to restore to the local level, the state and local level, the management of our schools so they can determine what their students are going to learn.
00:23:29.460And we did so much damage during the COVID years.
00:23:34.540So we need to restore this to the schools and make sure that they're teaching factual history.
00:23:41.620The AIEO that he just signed only solidifies that thought.
00:23:46.740And it's so key because what's happening, and particularly when we live in the country now, you have people coming in and as they're growing up, they're taught all these ills of America.
00:23:59.920They're taught that America and even when you go to national historical landmarks around the country, you have these placards that tell you about all these terrible things.
00:24:09.120You make it out like America is this awful country, and I'm waiting for them to go to the Alamo and take the side of the Mexicans.
00:24:19.720There are three things that the left, the progressive left, has to tear down in order for the United States federal government to be autonomous and sovereign.
00:24:27.420They have to tear down our history as first.
00:24:32.300And they have to tear down the very building block of society, our families.
00:24:35.540So history is one of the big three that they have got to destroy in order to make the government absolutely sovereign.
00:24:45.160This is so key because what you're talking about to make the government sovereign, it only works if you have a population that has already removed God from the sovereign core of their identity.
00:24:57.740And this is exactly what we saw with the revolution, you could call them the cultural revolutionaries in the 1960s.
00:25:03.820What was the very first thing they targeted was God in the public square.
00:25:08.940Yeah, there's a great movement, has been for 30, 40 years to take God out of the public square that you can, you're free to worship inside the walls of your church or your synagogue.
00:25:19.200Just don't bring it into the public square.
00:25:39.300While we've got you for just another minute, we talked about this public loan forgiveness, the public service loan forgiveness.
00:25:46.340Can you walk us through how that would work?
00:25:47.560Well, yeah, I will tell you, we want public loan forgiveness to be for people who are actually working in the public sector.
00:25:56.520Under President Biden, we went from 7,000 to a million people that might have been eligible for this program, and some of them were supporting terrorism, supporting violence.
00:26:09.760They were not supporting the public sector in what we normally think of.
00:26:15.100So these are NGOs, non-government organizations, that got these grants and then forgiveness, and they were supporting anti-American ideas and actions.
00:26:28.880This bill will try to codify the EO that says public sector loan forgiveness is meant for exactly that, people that are working on behalf of the interest of the United States in the public sector.
00:26:56.060That's Congressman Keith Self joining us in via phone.
00:26:59.520It's very important, codifying President Trump's executive orders into legislation, because we know President Trump, he's only in this one more term.
00:27:09.140And Steve Bannon's got some other ideas about that.
00:27:11.860But in order to stick the landing and make sure all of the things that we're putting up on the board, the W's are up, they need to be codified into law.
00:27:53.620They could increase by 10,000% over the next few years.
00:27:58.080That's because of massive energy demands from AI data centers and an aging, fragile power grid that just can't keep up.
00:28:05.420I don't know about you, but I don't like the idea of being without power, even for a day.
00:28:10.960That's why I got the Grid Doctor 3300 from my Patriot Supply.
00:28:14.180It's a powerful solar generator that runs refrigerators, AC units, medical devices, power tools, and anything you need to ride out a blackout.
00:28:21.680And right now, for their Christmas in July event, I love Christmas in July, by the way, they're including over $1,000 in free survival gear with your generator, including an emergency food supply, water filtration, survival tools, and so much more.
00:28:35.720You heard that right, over $1,000 in free gear for a limited time.
00:28:41.000So head over to mypatriotsupply.com slash jack.
00:29:00.040We're actually, we're doing an arts and crafts thing with the kids this weekend about it.
00:29:03.020It's just one of those fun, you know, hey, hey, it's always a good time to talk about Christmas.
00:29:06.900And it's always a good time to understand what's going on in our world.
00:29:11.180And so for the Catholics and even the non-Catholic Christians in our audience, many people are asking questions about the new pope, the first American pope.
00:29:22.320Of course, followers know and listeners know that we were over there for coverage with Real America's Voice.
00:29:28.200We're so happy that the SIGs were able to send us over and to support that coverage while we were there covering down on this show and the war room.
00:29:38.960One of the first books that's been written about Pope Leo and, of course, about his background is by Dr. Matthew Bunsen.
00:30:15.820She was in a coffee shop when the habim was popped and the white smoke came out.
00:30:19.740And it is something of a great time-honored custom in Rome for all the Romans to make their way as quickly as possible to St. Peter's Square for the white smoke and then the unveiling of the new pontiff.
00:30:30.920This one, I think, was especially interesting because of the global interest.
00:30:34.860At any given time, there were about 4,000 accredited journalists in Rome for this.
00:31:57.860So he really is that person who understands both worlds.
00:32:01.520And he's bringing all of that perspective to Rome.
00:32:05.000The other key thing to understand about him is that he is a member of what's called the Augustinian order.
00:32:10.500That's an order named after and sort of inspired by St. Augustine of Hippo, one of the greatest theologians and glossaries in the history of the church.
00:32:18.360So he brings that missionary zeal, but also that love of reason.
00:32:23.280And you're seeing that already in many of the things that he said and what we can anticipate, I think, will be some of his writings coming in the future.
00:32:30.600Well, and you mentioned the bridge building, and this is something that we heard going in.
00:32:35.980And I said, I remember CNN played my comments and all this, and I said, look, he's not one of these, you know, hardcore conservative types.
00:32:44.900But at the same time, he is someone who I think understands where this new wave of energy into the church is coming from, understands where young people, and you see, of course, on Twitter, on X, he's clearly interacting with this.
00:33:03.040Because when I go, for example, to the traditional Latin mass, you see kids, I mean that kids, you see teenagers, you see young couples, they're getting married young, they're getting married in their 20s, their early 20s.
00:33:14.580And this is a totally different shift that I've seen just even in my brief lifetime as a Catholic.
00:33:24.080I mean, the centers of gravity in some ways where the church is growing fastest is in the youngest parts of the world, in Africa, in parts of Latin America.
00:33:32.000So he brings that experience as a very seasoned missionary.
00:33:35.820But he's also something of a real thinker.
00:33:38.180We have seen from almost the first day of his election, his focus on these new technology.
00:33:43.520He took the name Leo XIV in honor of a pope who was grappling with the effects of the Industrial Revolution at the end of the 19th century.
00:33:51.340And that's Pope Leo XIII that he ushered in.
00:33:53.960The church's real concern, Catholic Church's focus on the impacts of the Industrial Revolution and new technologies.
00:34:01.100And that's exactly what Leo XIV is doing.
00:34:03.020He's especially focused on artificial intelligence, the impact of AI, not just on culture and economics, but on the individual human person, which rests at the heart, I think, of one of his big concerns is what is the impact of AI on families, on the individual, on the dignity of the human person.
00:34:21.780So I think that's something that really connects him very directly with the younger generation is the Gen Zs who have now spent a good part of their lives recognizing the importance of social media, that digital world, but also now the impact of things like artificial intelligence and software that's in development and new technology that's in development.
00:35:19.520And I would argue, and certainly I think Pope Leo here is focusing on this, that the response to that is the 2000 years of history and tradition of the church and being connected directly with our creator.
00:35:32.300Yeah, I'm based in D.C. also, so I see it very up close myself.
00:35:37.360Within communities, within families, this is a very transient society here in D.C., but it goes beyond even D.C.
00:35:46.060And I think one of the things that Pope Leo has even commented on is the social fragmentation of the divisions that exist and the loss of family life, the loss of close personal relationships.
00:35:57.760And so much of it has to start, of course, with our relationship with God.
00:36:01.880With Catholics, we embrace that relationship with Jesus Christ.
00:36:04.940But we're also seeing how that plays out, that lack of relationships and that fear of commitment that we can see that that's really generational.
00:36:18.560But it's especially potent now with young people like Gen Zs who have lived with this digital reality for so long and in many ways prefer that in their lives, in part because they've never had a real image of a nuclear family.
00:36:33.880So I think this is one of the aspects that we're seeing.
00:36:36.380And I think we'll hear from Pope Leo over the next few days because of the big jubilee event in Rome for youth.
00:36:43.020And I look forward to seeing what he has to say directly to young people, because that's a real opportunity for him to speak, not just to the 500,000, 600,000 young people who are going to be gathering in Rome over the next few days, but that global audience that is very interested in what he has to say.
00:37:48.820But when it does, if you're living in Chicago, there's going to be quite the frenzy.
00:37:52.560But I think also here in Washington, D.C., in places like New York, I think this is going to be on his agenda.
00:38:00.060We anticipate probably in the fall he'll go to Turkey for the big anniversary of the Council of Nicaea, which is the big event in Christian history.
00:40:44.940I just remember the one time where I put you in the razor's edge off of the top of the hay bales, and then you went down so far that we couldn't find you because we were calling you and you weren't answering for, like, a minute.
00:40:58.940That was, Mom, if you're watching, that didn't happen.
