00:00:25.780 The Poso Daily Brief.

00:00:26.660 I don't see anything, but she's liked by so many people, especially people in the military and law enforcement.

00:00:33.420 She has a little bit of trouble with some senators over her thoughts on Edward Snowden.

00:00:37.120 I know Snowden, you've mentioned in the past you're thinking about pardoning him.

00:00:40.660 Are you still, and what do you think about that?

00:00:42.320 No, I don't talk about it right now.

00:00:44.480 I just, people feel very differently.

00:00:47.000 Some people think he should be pardoned, and some people think it would be a terrible thing to do.

00:00:52.080 But I don't get involved in that.

00:00:53.760 Mr. President, what are you discussing with Mr. Murdoch?

00:00:57.840 Just respect.

00:00:58.880 I have great respect for Rupert Murdoch.

00:01:00.820 I disagree with him a lot of times with the Wall Street Journal, but it's all right.

00:01:04.620 We've disagreed before.

00:01:05.780 And I'm sure they didn't have any idea what they were talking about, because already you see what's happening.

00:01:12.820 Look at Columbia.

00:01:14.680 Look at what happened with that.

00:01:16.040 Everybody said that with Columbia, it was going to be a disaster.

00:01:20.320 In one hour, everything was settled.

00:01:24.540 You know why?

00:01:25.860 Tariffs.

00:01:27.340 Tariffs.

00:01:28.040 Without tariffs, they wouldn't have been the same way.

00:01:31.620 They would not have treated me the way they treated me, which was extremely nicely.

00:01:38.380 And I don't want to use countries.

00:01:40.280 I don't want to use names.

00:01:41.420 But tariffs are very powerful, both economically and in getting everything else you want.

00:01:47.200 Tariffs for us, nobody can compete with us because we're the pot of gold.

00:01:50.600 But if we don't keep winning and keep doing well, we won't be the pot of gold, and then tariffs won't be so good for us.

00:01:57.920 But when you're the pot of gold, the tariffs are very good.

00:02:02.260 They're very powerful, and they're going to make our country very rich again.

00:02:06.260 Thank you very much, everybody.

00:02:07.640 Thank you, guys.

00:02:09.060 Thank you, guys.

00:02:09.940 Thank you, guys.

00:02:10.720 Thank you for us.

00:02:11.580 Thank you, guys.

00:02:13.080 How is the market doing?

00:02:14.900 Thank you, guys.

00:02:15.520 Thank you, guys.

00:02:16.660 Thank you, guys.

00:02:17.540 Let's go.

00:02:17.960 Is it?

00:02:18.940 I don't know.

00:02:19.620 I don't think about it.

00:02:21.360 Thank you.

00:02:21.980 Thank you, guys.

00:02:22.860 Thank you very much.

00:02:23.860 Thank you, guys.

00:02:30.080 All right.

00:02:30.840 So, ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily here in Washington, D.C.

00:02:36.140 Today is February 3rd, 2025.

00:02:37.780 And no, Dominic President.

00:02:40.300 They're just giving a complete round-robin press conference inside the Oval Office, sending those executive orders.

00:02:48.820 And look, the president there, he's willing to say what needs to be said.

00:02:53.660 Tulsi Gabbard, boom, she's going to be getting in at D&I. 1.00

00:02:57.100 Ash Patel, boom, going over to the FBI.

00:02:59.620 And he said, well, I'm going to have to straighten them out.

00:03:01.860 You know, just going to have to straighten them out.

00:03:05.240 Because you see, boys and girls, the problem now, the problem now that we have with the FBI is they are not acting in the sense of greatness.

00:03:16.700 No, they're really not.

00:03:17.720 No, and we're going to have to make them great again.

00:03:21.920 And that's what President Trump said there.

00:03:24.020 And, of course, he's in the process of doing so through the acting attorney general, Ryan Emo.

00:03:30.660 And this is the case.

00:03:33.080 And, by the way, they have until 3 p.m. today.

00:03:34.840 So you've got one more hour.

00:03:35.980 You've got one more hour, FBI.

00:03:38.620 You've got one more hour.

00:03:41.160 Because there's no options.

00:03:43.620 There's no more options.

00:03:45.260 File your answers to your questionnaire and come back.

00:03:47.780 And, by the way, now I hear all this news about them going after the Doge employees.

00:03:54.080 And over on the sky, I'm getting some reports already on this.

00:03:56.380 And we're going to be digging into this a little bit more.

00:03:58.560 But I'm hearing reports of Doge employees being doxxed, of their addresses going up, of their families' addresses going up.

00:04:07.580 Guess what?

00:04:07.880 That's a crime.

00:04:09.420 All right?

00:04:09.840 That is a crime.

00:04:12.280 That is criminal behavior.

00:04:14.140 And if anyone tries swatting or anything like that, guess what?

00:04:18.240 Now you're threatening government officials.

00:04:22.100 So we're going to look into all this.

00:04:23.540 Of course, USAID.

00:04:25.240 Huge protests going on over there.

00:04:27.700 I don't know if it's huge, actually.

00:04:28.940 I should say.

00:04:29.640 Maybe it's sizable.

00:04:31.760 It's a sizable protest.

00:04:33.360 Not a huge protest.

00:04:34.160 It's sizable.

00:04:35.200 But they're going after Elon Musk there as well as Doge.

00:04:39.900 We've got a lot going on today.

00:04:41.280 So stay tuned.

00:04:42.280 Human Events Daily will continue.

00:04:44.140 We'll see you next time.

00:05:14.140 This is what happens when the fourth turning meets fifth-generation warfare.

00:05:23.420 A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran.

00:05:34.620 This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.

00:05:37.820 Christ is King.

00:05:41.280 All right.

00:05:42.040 This is Jack Posobiec.

00:05:43.980 You are listening to Human Events Daily.

00:05:46.540 I wanted to welcome the Salem News audience.

00:05:51.240 It's an honor to be here.

00:05:53.000 We go now live to J.D. Vance, where he's taking questions in East Palestine.

00:05:57.000 Well, I do think that we continue to need to do better at rail safety in this country.

00:06:02.120 And I even talked to the fire chief a little bit.

00:06:04.140 He's got strong views about rail safety.

00:06:05.960 Probably how we can make the bill a little bit better, but also how we can make sure that

00:06:09.720 common sense rail safety makes its way into our public laws.

00:06:13.520 Henry, you have a question?

00:06:15.780 And we're back.

00:06:16.600 So, J.D. Vance there working on getting that feed back up.

00:06:20.700 Of course, he's out East Palestine today.

00:06:22.860 The two-year anniversary of the Norfolk Southern train crash, the derailment that took place out

00:06:29.200 there, and the chemicals that went out into the atmosphere, went out into the town, went

00:06:35.900 into the water, went into the rivers.

00:06:38.880 And so the questions, of course, was, why was it that at the time you had people like

00:06:44.540 Governor Josh Shapiro, like Governor DeWine, like they weren't even interested, weren't

00:06:49.860 even interested in the interests of the townsfolk, the interests of the people?

00:06:56.360 And that was the day that J.D. Vance himself flew from Washington, D.C.

00:07:00.760 He'd only been senator for about one month at that point.

00:07:02.800 With the people here.

00:07:03.400 I think the second thing that we need to do-

00:07:04.540 Think about the background.

00:07:05.220 And we certainly committed to-

00:07:06.200 He's only been senator for about one month.

00:07:09.660 And he flies out to East Palestine and says, something here is not right.

00:07:14.540 They are lying to us.

00:07:16.080 And we need to do something about that.

00:07:18.620 All right.

00:07:19.300 I'm told we have J.D. back.

00:07:20.920 Let's go to that now.

00:07:22.620 The long-term air testing, the long-term health testing.

00:07:25.880 And that's something that we're going to fight to make sure that we do over the next few years

00:07:29.940 of this administration.

00:07:30.720 Because, again, to rebuild this community.

00:07:33.660 And I think it's-

00:07:34.240 Look, I think it's a beautiful place.

00:07:35.500 It's got great workers.

00:07:36.860 It's got incredible natural landscape.

00:07:38.820 It's got great people.

00:07:40.440 But people have to be confident that they can invest in a business here, that they can

00:07:45.040 build a business here, that they can raise a family here.

00:07:47.840 That's going to take the long-term commitment, I think, of the Environmental Protection Agency,

00:07:52.340 but of the whole administration.

00:07:53.800 And that's certainly something that people here should expect.

00:07:55.940 And they'll have.

00:07:56.880 In speaking with residents here over the past two years, one of the things that they tell

00:08:01.200 us, the new nation, is that they want a federal disaster declaration so that federal funds

00:08:05.660 come in so that they can get Medicare and they can get long-term health monitoring.

00:08:10.740 I know the previous governor, the governor has asked for this.

00:08:14.060 Because you, when I spoke with you last year, you asked President Biden to sign this.

00:08:19.000 Will the Trump administration declare a disaster here so people can get these resources that they need?

00:08:25.480 Yeah, so the long-term health monitoring, by the way, is something that we're very focused on

00:08:28.920 and I'm personally very focused on.

00:08:30.540 It's something my Senate office worked a great deal on and, frankly, was very disappointed

00:08:34.100 that the Biden administration wasn't willing to meet us halfway there.

00:08:37.540 We're going to do a lot there, and I think there's a lot that could be done.

00:08:40.700 On the disaster declaration, it's an interesting question.

00:08:43.960 Because a disaster declaration may have been very helpful 18 months ago.

00:08:47.440 I don't know that it's still helpful today.

00:08:49.600 And so what I'm going to do is I'm going to ask the governor behind me.

00:08:52.720 I'm going to talk to Lee about this.

00:08:54.200 Then I'm going to say, is a disaster declaration still helpful?

00:08:57.140 Because if the answer is yes, then I'm going to take that message back to Washington.

00:09:00.280 But the answer may well be no, right?

00:09:02.240 Because we're not in the same phase of this thing now that we were two years ago.

00:09:05.980 Thank God for that.

00:09:06.940 We're going to do right by the community.

00:09:08.900 That answer may not be the same as it was 18 months ago, but we're still going to work at it.

00:09:13.780 In talking to locals as we have the last two years, many of them say that they're now worse off than they were before.

00:09:22.960 Yes.

00:09:23.620 They're closing their businesses, selling their businesses.

00:09:27.040 What can you tell them now in this forum that they're going to hear at some point in the next 24 hours

00:09:33.480 that leaves them thinking this is not just more lip service that they have heard for the last two years?

00:09:39.980 So I guess what I'd ask them is, first of all, you're right.

00:09:43.660 A lot of people in East Palestine have dealt with unspeakable tragedy and then economic calamity on top of that.

00:09:49.800 I've talked to a lot of local businesses just here today who have lost customers,

00:09:53.940 who feel like the bottom line is a lot worse than it was before this disaster happened,

00:09:59.060 and that's local retailers, that's oil and gas businesses.

00:10:02.560 But I guess what I'd ask them is, don't give up on this community because we're not going to give up on this community.

00:10:07.500 And it's not always going to be easy, and I'm not going to be able to take away the two years of economic pain

00:10:12.860 that have been caused by this train disaster, but you do now have a government that cares about you

00:10:18.220 that's going to work on these problems and isn't going to snap its fingers and fix everything

00:10:21.980 because that's not how any of this works, but is going to fight every single day to make sure you get the infrastructure,

00:10:27.740 the redevelopment aid, and certainly the health and environmental aid that you need to get back on your feet.

00:10:32.340 I really do believe that if we work this the right way, that the federal government, the state government,

00:10:37.380 the EPA administrator, and the people on the ground are willing to work for this community,

00:10:42.000 then we're going to do better by East Palestine than we have over the last couple of years.

00:10:45.660 That's certainly my commitment to this community.

00:10:47.980 Okay, John.

00:10:50.380 We talked ground safety probably more than anything over the last two years.

00:10:53.680 When you introduced it, you spoke for yourself, you spoke for the constituents of Ohio.

00:10:57.980 You now speak for the administration.

00:10:59.500 Sure.

00:10:59.700 Does the administration stand behind the Rail Safety Act as you introduced it?

00:11:04.780 Well, John, the president endorsed the Rail Safety Act, of course, when it came out.

00:11:09.160 And so certainly I think that we can say with confidence the president shares my view that we need some common sense rail safety.

00:11:15.060 And yes, that is something that we're going to work on over the next couple of years.

00:11:18.960 It's something that I think that we have a much better shot at, frankly, with Republicans in charge.

00:11:23.620 Remember, we had the legislation.

00:11:25.240 It was bipartisan.

00:11:26.220 We had it in a place where it would have passed the United States Senate.

00:11:30.000 Chuck Schumer just refused to bring it up to the floor for a vote.

00:11:33.060 And so, yeah, I think things are a little bit different this time.

00:11:35.360 And we're going to make sure we get this right.

00:11:37.400 Mr. President.

00:11:37.780 Now, Henry asked me a question about tariffs.

00:11:40.280 Let me say this, Henry.

00:11:42.280 So I think for a couple of, look, not just a couple of years, for 40 years, with one very obvious exception, I think that we have had successive administrations who have not recognized that America's economic power is not just a source of prosperity, but is also something that we should be willing to put to use to make the American people safer and healthier.

00:12:04.720 And unfortunately, we have had, especially at our southern border, a southern neighbor, and I think an important ally if they want to be, who has not taken their basic responsibility seriously about securing their own border and doing basic law enforcement within their own country.

00:12:21.600 Now, what's happened?

00:12:22.740 What's happened is that even in communities like East Palestine, you have seen a massive explosion in the amount of deadly, poisonous fentanyl that exists in this country.

00:12:32.260 We've seen the toll in orphaned children and families who have lost loved ones and over 100,000 lives per year, most of which have come, excuse me, 100,000 lives per year, lost to drug overdose, most of which have come from the fentanyl problem.

00:12:48.560 Mexico has got to do a better job, and President Trump's message is very simple.

00:12:53.700 We are done being taken advantage of.

00:12:55.900 Now, actually, I was in the air.

00:12:57.520 I talked to the president very briefly about this.

00:13:00.580 He spoke with the president of Mexico this morning, and the president of Mexico committed to putting 10,000 additional Mexican troops on that southern border, our southern border, of course, the Mexicans' northern border, to take law enforcement more seriously, to go after those Mexican drug cartels a little bit more aggressively.

00:13:17.640 So for literally three days, I heard the far left in this country say that these tariffs would make Americans' lives worse off.

00:13:26.720 And what actually happened is the Mexican government was so afraid of the tariffs that they actually are taking their border enforcement and their anti-cartel activity more seriously.

00:13:36.380 That is not a pathway to making Americans worse off.

00:13:39.200 That's a pathway to making Americans better off.

00:13:41.400 Now, the president has also been very clear that we have to rebalance our trade relationship in this country.

00:13:48.320 Every single country.

00:13:49.920 If you look even at our northern neighbors, Canada, do Americans realize that the Canadians charge massive, massive tariffs on our products that go into the country of Canada, including on our great agricultural products that people right here in the state of Ohio depend on?

00:14:06.360 Well, if the Canadians are going to use their economic power to penalize Americans, I think it's totally reasonable for the American president to say, we're done being taken advantage of.

00:14:16.320 We, of course, want to have a great relationship with Canada, but that goes both directions.

00:14:20.740 And that's all his conduct and his activity of the last few days was about.

00:14:26.300 We're done being taken advantage of in this country.

00:14:29.180 We have got to rebalance the trade relationship between ourselves and our allies, ourselves and our adversaries.

00:14:35.580 President Trump is committed to that, and tariffs is one tool that he's going to use to accomplish it.

00:14:39.520 Red jade events.

00:14:41.060 Red jade events.

00:14:41.400 Yeah, listening, talking to folks today and over the last few years, the biggest thing they heard is they don't want this to happen in another community.

00:14:47.440 What are some of those action items you heard talking to the folks during your visit today?

00:14:51.380 You can take back to D.C. kind of, all right, let's hit the ground running on these things.

00:14:54.500 Yeah, so it's interesting.

00:14:55.540 Most of what I heard today was actually concerns about economic development.

00:14:59.500 Okay, but of course, I've been to East Palestine.

00:15:01.200 This is my, I think, fifth or sixth visit.

00:15:02.800 I've heard a lot about the concerns related to rail safety.

00:15:05.760 And I think there are a few very basic common sense things that can be done.

00:15:09.920 And look, some of this the railways are already doing, but some of this I truly believe is going to have to happen through things like the Railway Safety Act.

00:15:16.760 Number one, you've got to inspect these cars more before they go off.

00:15:20.140 You've got to better use technology to monitor when a train is about to have a catastrophic failure.

00:15:25.480 These are all things that were sort of built into the infrastructure of the Railway Safety Act, and it's something we're going to keep on working on.

00:15:32.080 Look, this can't happen again.

00:15:33.340 As much as I believe in East Palestine, and I really do believe in this community and its people, what they're rebuilding through shouldn't have happened.

00:15:41.300 Stop buzzing in my ear about the boring people at your office.

00:15:44.820 I'm trying to listen to the new human events with Jack Posobiec.

00:15:48.460 All right, Jack Posobiec, we are back here.

00:15:56.220 Human events daily.

00:15:57.840 Let's continue with J.D. Vance in East Palestine.

00:15:59.580 Confidence that they can raise a family in health and safety here in this community.

00:16:05.680 Now, I believe that's true, but the only way that other people are going to believe that's true is if folks like Lee Zeldin at the EPA and the broader administration take those health and safety concerns seriously.

00:16:16.120 I promise the people of East Palestine, we are taking those concerns seriously, and we will do so for the remainder of President Trump's administration.

00:16:24.000 God bless you guys.

00:16:24.680 Thank you for being here.

00:16:33.500 All of them unplugged.

00:16:35.380 Can you unplug me?

00:16:36.360 You guys unplug this, please.

00:16:39.200 All the ones that we just, all the full ones.

00:16:41.480 There's no more sound.

00:16:42.260 Oh, I don't know.

00:16:43.160 Yeah, that one.

00:16:43.740 Just push the button.

00:16:45.160 Sorry, sorry.

00:16:46.380 There we go.

00:16:46.840 Thank you.

00:16:47.280 All right, so that was J.D. Vance there, East Palestine.

00:16:54.360 Really, and you can see him there.

00:16:56.240 He's walking, meeting with the people.

00:16:58.660 He's with the mayor.

00:17:00.360 We remember, of course, when President Trump visited back two years ago.

00:17:04.060 This really was a turning point in, I want to say, President Trump's 2024 election, even though, of course, it took place in 2023.

00:17:14.000 This was just a huge turning point in the Biden administration, where so many people across the spectrum, across the aisle, were just upset.

00:17:23.440 They were incensed that the Biden administration and Josh Shapiro, the wine, would allow this huge explosion of gaseous chemicals out into the public, that they weren't doing anything for these people.

00:17:35.860 Of course, it exploded across social media as well, at least in terms of the aftermath, and so many people asking questions about the health, about the safety, about what was going on there.

00:17:47.420 There were so many problems and people really wanting to do something about it, and that really set the tone for the new Trump administration.

00:17:57.720 This idea that it isn't going to be business as usual.

00:18:01.620 It's going to be full-on nationalist populism, and that's exactly where he came down, and that's exactly what you're seeing now, whether it be Panama, whether it be these tariffs, Canada, Mexico, whether it be Greenland, whether it be the rest of it.

00:18:16.320 It's what benefits the American people first. 0.92

00:18:19.960 Now, I wanted to talk communications a little bit because there was big news that just popped over at the FCC that a huge, and Semaphore's got the piece, a large critic of big tech is taking a top legal position at a key agency that could target Google, Meta, and their rivals.

00:18:43.480 Oh, sorry, Zuckerberg. Uh-oh, I don't know about that, because you've got Adam Kandaub, an architect of one of the efforts to revoke legal protections for social media, is now going to be general counsel of the FCC.

00:18:59.340 Well, here joining us to talk about all of this and more is Alan Bakari.

00:19:03.900 He is the managing director at the Foundation for Freedom Online.

00:19:07.500 Alan, how's it going, man?

00:19:09.320 How's it going, Jack? Great to be on your show.

00:19:13.480 So talk to me about some of the things that you guys are working on over at the Foundation for Freedom.

00:19:18.600 Everybody knows, of course, Mike Benz over there.

00:19:21.120 People know your background well, by the way, leaking the Google video back in 2016 saying that we're never going to let Donald Trump win again.

00:19:30.780 This will never happen again.

00:19:32.040 Well, I guess they screwed up because he's back, baby.

00:19:36.060 Alan, what are we seeing when it comes to the FCC front, when it comes to the regulatory front from the new administration?

00:19:42.400 Well, the FCC front is going great, frankly.

00:19:46.400 And you just mentioned the appointment of Professor Kandaub.

00:19:50.460 He is a fantastic choice in my view.

00:19:53.740 He was one of the big heroes of the first Trump administration in terms of attempting to push back on tech censorship.

00:20:02.180 He did a lot of work in that first Trump administration.

00:20:04.520 I've known him for a long time.

00:20:05.460 He will be a warrior against online censorship.

00:20:09.720 And broadly speaking, the news has been very good.

00:20:12.640 The FCC, the new chairman, Brendan Carr, also fantastic on the censorship issue.

00:20:18.320 The FTC chairman, Andrew Ferguson, also places a high priority on that issue,

00:20:23.880 which is very important considering the amount of oversight the FTC has over the private sector and, you know,

00:20:30.240 the advertising sector in particular, which has been such a, you know, force of collusion in the past,

00:20:36.080 waging ad boycotts against X and all sorts of other platforms.

00:20:41.100 There is one concerning trend I see.

00:20:44.600 And, you know, I hate to be the bearer of bad news because there have been so many wins lately,

00:20:48.580 just win after win after win, and they keep coming.

00:20:50.720 I've spotted one concerning trend.

00:20:53.660 We published a big report about it at the Foundation for Freedom Online,

00:20:57.740 and that is the strange ascendancy of Microsoft in Washington, D.C. under Trump.

00:21:04.460 A very strange ascendancy because Microsoft, as you'll see from our report,

00:21:08.660 was one of the absolute worst offenders when it came to censorship in the last eight years.

00:21:16.380 And unlike Facebook and X, they haven't really walked back any of it, as far as I can sell.

00:21:24.180 And yet, you've got OpenAI getting this 500 billion AI investment deal that was, you know, announced by the president.

00:21:35.060 You've got Microsoft in the running to acquire TikTok, which would, you know,

00:21:39.300 give them enormous influence over the U.S. media ecosystem.

00:21:43.920 And now, see, today, OpenAI launched something called ChatGPT Government,

00:21:49.240 which is a ChatGPT agent specifically built for government agencies.

00:21:52.960 So they're trying to get some of those contracts.

00:21:56.320 And, you know, why is this concerning?

00:21:57.980 It's concerning because Microsoft, as I said, has not walked back any of their censorship programs.

00:22:03.060 So, you know, just one example, they're still partnered with NewsGuard.

00:22:07.160 NewsGuard is a private company that exists to build blacklists of disfavored media sources,

00:22:14.680 which are then sales.

00:22:15.700 That's exactly right.

00:22:17.040 Alan, we're coming up on a quick break, but I want to hold you over because we need to dig deeper into this.

00:22:24.200 And we'll have much longer time to get when we come back.

00:22:27.120 Human Events Daily, Alan Bakari, Foundation of Freedom Online.

00:22:29.920 Great back.

00:22:33.060 And Jack, where is Jack?

00:22:56.680 Where is Jack?

00:22:58.960 Where is he?

00:23:00.260 Jack, I want to see you.

00:23:03.060 Great job, Jack.

00:23:05.380 Thank you.

00:23:06.160 What a job you do.

00:23:07.600 You know, we have an incredible thing.

00:23:09.000 We're always talking about the fake news and the bad, but we have guys.

00:23:12.320 And these are the guys who should be getting policemen.

00:23:14.800 All right, Jack Posobiec.

00:23:19.020 We're back.

00:23:19.560 Human Events Daily, Washington, D.C.

00:23:23.120 And folks, we've all seen the headlines.

00:23:26.260 Cyber attacks on our power grids.

00:23:29.080 The drones in the sky.

00:23:31.020 Violent attacks on everyday Americans.

00:23:33.320 The ugly truth is that no leader, no system can protect you from everything.

00:23:38.240 And the last thing I want to be is standing in line depending on help that may never come.

00:23:43.680 When crisis hits, food is always the first casualty.

00:23:46.920 Everyone needs it.

00:23:48.420 And our panic buying makes things worse.

00:23:51.900 That's why I've made sure that my family, the Poso family, is prepared with my Patriot supply.

00:24:23.480 That's mypatriotsupply.com to get your four-week food kit today.

00:24:27.600 All right, now we're on with Alan Bakari.

00:24:30.400 We're talking about how President Trump is making these new moves.

00:24:34.760 And Brandon Carr is making these huge new moves over at the FCC.

00:24:38.240 They're targeting not just Facebook, not just Meta, but also something in their crosshairs

00:24:43.820 and should be more in their crosshairs is Facebook with a huge new report from the FFO.

00:24:51.200 Alan, so talk to us about what exactly you found when you were digging into Microsoft

00:24:57.480 and their background and their dealings in this censorship.

00:25:02.400 It goes very, very deep.

00:25:04.500 Microsoft, I mentioned earlier their partnership with NewsGuard, a professional censorship company.

00:25:10.460 They've also made a point of hiring almost every bad actor from the government side

00:25:15.380 of the censorship industrial complex.

00:25:17.520 You might remember something called Hamilton 68.

00:25:20.820 Hamilton 68 was this dashboard developed by government-funded nonprofits that in 2017 or 2018,

00:25:29.900 I believe, sold itself to tech companies as something that could track down Russian agents

00:25:36.340 and the spread of Russian influence on social media.

00:25:38.780 And they developed huge lists of Twitter users and other social media users that they claimed

00:25:44.300 were Russian agents.

00:25:45.080 Turns out they were all American users, American conservatives, American Trump supporters that

00:25:50.120 were being falsely labeled Russian agents.

00:25:52.440 This is one of the things that came out during the Twitter files.

00:25:56.200 The guy who built that dashboard, a former FBI counterintelligence official called Clint

00:26:01.020 Watts, was later hired by Microsoft.

00:26:04.980 You know, that's just one example.

00:26:06.520 You know, another Microsoft board member, Reid Hoffman, who, you know, notorious Trump hater,

00:26:12.520 who funded a very similar thing in the Alabama runoff election in 2017, where, you know, these

00:26:19.900 fake accounts were created to create the impression of a Russian intelligence operation that could

00:26:25.680 then be used to justify the social media censorship of Americans.

00:26:30.680 He's a board member at Microsoft.

00:26:32.780 They also founded the Center for Informed Public at the University of Washington, one of the four

00:26:38.940 members of the Election Integrity Partnership, that notorious collection of organizations which

00:26:45.280 was hatched in DHS, hatched by the government, and, you know, played a massive, massive role

00:26:50.120 in censoring the 2020 election.

00:26:52.680 Millions of posts were censored as a result of that group's efforts.

00:26:56.100 They were funded by Microsoft, and, you know, it would be one thing, I mean, it would be

00:27:01.020 one thing if Microsoft were scaling back on all of this, but they're not.

00:27:05.640 They're still partnered with NewsGuard, and they've shown no indication that they're scaling

00:27:11.100 back on any of this, and yet they still seem to be in favor in Washington.

00:27:16.020 They still seem to be getting favors.

00:27:18.100 They still seem to be getting favors, and I hope that many of the people who are now being

00:27:23.120 appointed, who have a great history of monitoring big tech censorship and being real warriors

00:27:30.760 in the fight against big tech censorship, will read this report and take a look at some of

00:27:36.180 these things.

00:27:37.800 Because in some cases, it's actually getting worse.

00:27:41.100 You know, just one example, Activision Blizzard, which is a massive video games company owned by

00:27:46.140 Microsoft, sent out a memo in their internal Discord server saying they're not going to

00:27:51.120 roll back DEI initiatives.

00:27:52.960 In fact, they're going to double down on them.

00:27:56.180 Another example, OpenAI just launched a tool called Operator, which is an AI agent that can

00:28:02.360 sort of run your computer and do online searches for you.

00:28:05.220 Only four news sources are used by Operator currently.

00:28:08.880 The Atlantic, Axios, AP, and Reuters.

00:28:11.360 Not a single conservative news source as part of that, and we've seen huge political bias

00:28:15.740 from OpenAI in the past as well.

00:28:18.440 So, you know, the question I'd ask of Microsoft is, are they going to keep all these censorship

00:28:22.340 programs that, you know, that censored Americans and censored Trump supporters and all stuff

00:28:28.160 are going to keep their relationship with NewsGuard?

00:28:30.840 That's the biggest thing in my book.

00:28:33.260 While still expecting to be in favor in Washington.

00:28:35.720 It's like a very strange set of events.

00:28:38.780 Now, where can people go to get a direct copy of this report so they can read it for themselves

00:28:43.940 and hear all of these details?

00:28:46.560 Of course.

00:28:47.060 So it's at thefoundationforfreedomonline.com.

00:28:50.960 And the piece is called How Microsoft Helped Build the Censorship Industry.

00:28:55.080 Very, very important piece.

00:28:56.320 So go check it out if you can.

00:28:58.880 I think you absolutely should.

00:29:00.500 And of course, you and Mike Benz are doing really the yeoman's work over there.

00:29:04.420 Of course, Benz really coming down hard on USAID.

00:29:08.540 By the way, there's a protest going on in front of USAID that's happening right now.

00:29:13.940 Apparently, Ilhan Omar is out there.

00:29:16.620 Jamie Raskin.

00:29:18.240 They're, you know, saying no to Doge.

00:29:21.220 And it's, I mean, it's just one of the most wonderful things I've ever seen.

00:29:24.340 All of the worst people are completely activated.

00:29:28.920 But, Alan, this is something that I think we all should focus on.

00:29:32.580 Because, look, I think that Elon buying X has led to a sort of general de-emphasis on the censorship question.

00:29:44.340 So a de-emphasis on wanting to fight back against censorship.

00:29:49.320 And certainly a de-emphasis on having the government come in and actually put some controls on social media.

00:29:55.840 Like, for example, an Internet Bill of Rights for the user or questions about who controls your data when it comes to online, your online activity.

00:30:05.820 Who controls that online footprint?

00:30:07.760 And that's something that, by the way, the FCC should be looking into.

00:30:13.860 So let me ask you this.

00:30:14.900 Do you think that that's something that these latest moves from hiring the professor to be general counsel, to have Brennan Carr over there as well, who's been a huge advocate for this?

00:30:24.460 Do you think that there's action that the FCC can and should still take on the censorship front?

00:30:31.340 I think there certainly is.

00:30:33.180 And not just the FCC, but also the FTC when it comes to collusive behaviors like advertising agencies getting together and boycotting social media platforms because they don't, because they're opposed to what American social media users are saying.

00:30:47.540 When they act in concert as an industry that is very anti-competitive behavior, which is right in the FTC's jurisdiction.

00:30:55.340 I think the FCC can also do a lot here because, you know, there have been regulations in the past that, you know, made companies, for example, under the Obama administration, actually.

00:31:06.380 There was net neutrality, which made Internet service providers common carriers and that subjects them to all sorts of requirements about what they can and cannot carry.

00:31:17.440 So I think there's a lot of there's a lot of area where the FCC can provide scrutiny.

00:31:22.620 And and I think I think the thing about you mentioned Elon Musk taking over X and how that sort of ushered in a new era of free speech on social media.

00:31:33.340 It would be one thing if, you know, coming back to Microsoft, it would be one thing if they scaled back their censorship programs.

00:31:40.600 So Mark Mark Zuckerberg, you know, do I necessarily believe he's completely sincere in, you know, the changes in his political opinions over the past six months or so?

00:31:51.780 Not necessarily. I think he's a very pragmatic guy.

00:31:54.220 But Facebook has made some real changes.

00:31:56.540 It's, you know, scaled back some of its content moderation policies.

00:32:01.140 Zuckerberg's even gone on Joe Rogan and talked about in, you know, pretty, pretty a fair amount of detail about how the government pressured Facebook to censor and how Biden officials would call up Facebook officials and yell at them and get them to censor content.

00:32:15.000 So they've actually taken concrete steps to, you know, stake out a position against censorship.

00:32:21.400 Microsoft has done none of that.

00:32:22.840 And yet they're still in the ascendancy in Washington, which is interesting to see.

00:32:29.120 No, I think that's right.

00:32:30.320 And look, there's huge questions when it comes to what should be done for the user online.

00:32:37.340 By the way, you know, that Internet Bill of Rights, when we talk about the data of every individual that currently is just being sold on the market, you know, why not allow people to at least get a piece of that?

00:32:49.240 So, hey, if you want your data sold, hey, this is how much I'm willing to, you know, I'm willing to pay for it or willing to willing to sell it for and you've got to pay for it or some something like that.

00:33:00.120 I mean, there's there's this whole question of our relationship with big media, with big tech, with all of these platforms.

00:33:08.460 They're getting, of course, fabulously wealthy.

00:33:11.320 By the same token, they're using these as large language models to train their various AI.

00:33:16.760 We already know that's how Grok works.

00:33:18.480 So it just kind of makes sense.

00:33:19.960 But I do think that what President Trump has given us is ability to just press reset on all of these various questions and allow people to step back and say, you know what?

00:33:29.680 But this is what we want our government doing.

00:33:32.760 These are things that actually directly directly affect us and directly affect our lives.

00:33:38.380 And no, we're not so focused on these forever wars and things that are going on all over the world.

00:33:44.460 No, let's actually do something that affects us, that affects our families, affects our children.

00:33:49.140 Well, you know, what worries me about the tech companies, and I know some of them have gotten better in the past few years, largely thanks to the trend that Musk started.

00:33:59.460 But Americans still have no recourse under the law if their account gets taken away.

00:34:04.320 Tech companies can still destroy someone's livelihood, destroy their public platform, and you have no recourse.

00:34:10.640 No other business could do that.

00:34:12.160 Like if you get kicked out of a physical property on spurious reasons, say if you own a business and your landlord kicks you out for spurious reasons, you can take them to court and say, hey, they kicked me out for dodgy reasons.

00:34:23.100 You can't do – but if you're on a social media platform and your entire business is based there, you don't have similar protections under the law.

00:34:30.400 So, you know, there's no protections under the law for American social media users or any social media users really against, you know, arbitrary deplatforming on the one hand or, as you said, data collection.

00:34:42.780 They have no protections over how their data is used either.

00:34:46.420 And I think that is still concerning.

00:34:48.340 And that is something that Adam Kandeyev, who you mentioned, worked on in the first Trump administration.

00:34:54.120 So I'm looking forward to him working on similar things now at the FCC.

00:34:58.560 And I think Brendan Carr, you know, considers this to be his top priority as well.

00:35:02.320 So, you know, it's looking good for the future, I think, when it comes to internet freedom.

00:35:08.440 Everything is looking up.

00:35:11.240 The golden age has done.

00:35:12.740 Alan Bakari, where can people follow you, brother?

00:35:15.460 You can follow me on Twitter, at Alan Bakari.

00:35:18.020 And you can find all our deep dive reports on censorship at Microsoft and at other places.

00:35:24.360 And of USAID, in fact, at thefoundationforfreedomonline.com.

00:35:29.980 Make sure you go there, you're reading everything, following everything.

00:35:33.880 Study up, because we've got a lot of fights ahead.

00:35:36.720 And we've got more human events ahead right after the break.

00:35:39.020 Thank you.

00:35:54.120 Jack is a great guy.

00:36:04.480 He's written a fantastic book.

00:36:06.100 Everybody's talking about it.

00:36:07.340 Go get it.

00:36:08.440 And he's been my friend right from the beginning of this whole beautiful event.

00:36:12.420 And we're going to turn it around and make our country great to get to you.

00:36:15.640 Amen.

00:36:15.980 All right, Jack Posobiec, we are back.

00:36:21.040 Human Events Daily Live, Washington, D.C.

00:36:25.880 Folks, what we're seeing right now is nothing short of a new start for your government.

00:36:34.420 It's like 1776 2.0, a second American revolution.

00:36:41.760 And we are, through the grace of God, able to view this through our own eyes happening right

00:36:49.580 now in real time, whether it's in our cities, whether it's in our homes, our workplaces, including

00:36:57.140 the federal workplaces, and we're going to talk about that in just a quick second, because

00:37:01.620 federal workers really don't seem to like the fact that they are going to be asked to

00:37:08.780 work on behalf of the American people, possibly for the very first time in their lives.

00:37:17.100 All right, I want to take a quick second here.

00:37:18.960 We're going to bring radio in, because this needs to be heard.

00:37:22.600 When I'm working long hours, I'm always listening to Human Events with Jack Posobiec.

00:37:27.140 All right, Jack Posobiec, we are back up, by the way, to the Salem audience.

00:37:32.580 I want to say welcome to Human Events Daily.

00:37:35.180 It's an absolute honor to be here.

00:37:37.820 By the way, I used to be a huge Bill Bennett listener back in the day.

00:37:41.580 Yeah, that's right.

00:37:42.420 Back on 990 AM in the Philadelphia market.

00:37:46.880 That's where I'm from.

00:37:48.560 And just an incredible honor, again, to be on the network.

00:37:52.340 But at the same time, there's a lot of work to do.

00:37:55.420 Because if you go and look over at, there's this page on Reddit called Reddit Fed News.

00:38:02.180 So r slash Fed News.

00:38:04.080 And these workers over there, they're incensed.

00:38:07.220 They are posting on Reddit, typically during work hours, I might add, and talking about

00:38:13.860 how they want to subvert President Trump and particularly subvert Elon Musk and go after him.

00:38:22.620 In fact, so much so that some of these types, even going on Blue Sky, are actually targeting

00:38:29.260 through the actual names, addresses, and photos of individuals who are working for Doge.

00:38:37.280 They are going after them.

00:38:39.020 They're going after their families.

00:38:41.280 They're going after their homes.

00:38:43.820 And they are trying to actually intimidate them to the point where they quit, to the point

00:38:51.180 where they're harassed, to the point where they feel as though something terrible could

00:38:58.040 happen to them.

00:38:58.560 But something that we also need to point out, there's just one post.

00:39:02.540 And by the way, when, you know, full disclosure, caveat, caveat, all that stuff, we don't

00:39:09.320 know for sure exactly who is posting these things.

00:39:12.140 But in many accounts, you can see that these guys have been up there for a long time.

00:39:16.580 So if they've been up there for a long time posting about working in the government, then

00:39:20.300 it stands to reason that these aren't some kind of trolls.

00:39:23.160 This isn't just a, you know, some type of performance piece that it's actually real, that it's actually

00:39:30.780 going on.

00:39:31.500 And the FBI, the FBI, by the way, if you are at the FBI right now and you haven't filled

00:39:37.960 out your questionnaire yet regarding your involvement in the J6 prosecutions, you need to be going

00:39:43.580 after the people that are targeting and harassing Doge.

00:39:47.540 You need to be going after them.

00:39:49.400 How about you actually show that you want to do something for the American people, something

00:39:54.500 that you should be doing, something you should have been doing all along, going after actual

00:39:58.880 criminals.

00:40:00.020 I don't remember, I don't recall anyone from J6 doing things like that.

00:40:03.880 But now we're seeing, look at this.

00:40:05.980 And it's going up.

00:40:07.300 Federal workers actively stating that they're declaring war on the Trump admin from within

00:40:12.520 the government.

00:40:13.280 And this is the post.

00:40:14.240 I'm going to, I'm actually going to read this.

00:40:15.520 So this isn't my words.

00:40:16.300 This is the words of this post to my fellow feds, especially veterans.

00:40:22.120 We're at war.

00:40:24.240 We watched this goon try to overthrow the government on live TV four years ago. 0.99

00:40:30.540 Now we're witnessing him try to overthrow it from within.

00:40:34.180 We are the last line of defense against fascism.

00:40:37.880 If we leave, we'll be replaced by loyalists.

00:40:41.420 Read Project 2025.

00:40:44.300 And for the love of God, please believe what is written, because that is what is happening.

00:40:50.080 All the EOs are directly from that document.

00:40:54.240 Oh my gosh, listen to this.

00:40:56.060 We are being led by the same types of people our grandparents fought against in World War

00:41:02.580 II.

00:41:04.020 Are you seeing this?

00:41:05.500 Are you seeing this, folks?

00:41:06.680 This is the type of person, and I've been there.

00:41:10.640 I was an intelligence officer inside the United States government.

00:41:15.180 I was in the U.S. Navy.

00:41:16.560 I worked in Navy intelligence.

00:41:18.180 I'm telling you, these are exactly the types of people that you would find, especially in

00:41:25.280 Washington, D.C.

00:41:26.500 Listen to this.

00:41:27.640 I don't know what the, it's so dramatic.

00:41:30.100 This is the theater kids, right?

00:41:31.220 I don't know what future holds, but I refuse to bow down to this fascist authoritarian elite

00:41:36.820 class, knowing it's coming to save us, but we have to hold the line.

00:41:41.620 Let me tell you something right now.

00:41:43.040 The theater kids are being thrown out of government at long last.

00:41:49.360 The theater kids are done.

00:41:51.800 Exit stage right.

00:41:54.620 Exit stage right to every last one of you.

00:41:59.820 Why don't you put your names on there?

00:42:02.240 Why don't you actually have the gall to go ahead?

00:42:06.140 Go ahead and put your name to it.

00:42:07.700 Because you know something?

00:42:09.020 IP addresses are trackable, especially if you're posting this on the same computer that

00:42:14.040 you use for your remote work.

00:42:17.120 You guys really didn't think this one through, did you?

00:42:19.840 No, you didn't.

00:42:21.080 But at the same time, you never do.

00:42:23.660 You never do.

00:42:24.900 And that has always been and will always be your fatal flaw.

00:42:29.400 Ladies and gentlemen, this is Human Events Daily.

00:42:32.820 Again, huge welcome to the Salem audience.

00:42:36.580 It's an honor to be here, and I'm glad and truly thrilled to be with you and hope that

00:42:42.360 we'll be able to continue this for a long, long time.

00:42:45.200 Ladies and gentlemen, as always, you have my permission to lay a truth.

00:42:49.420 I'll see you next time.

00:43:08.380 Thank you.
