00:00:25.780 The Poso Daily Brief.
00:00:30.000 This is what happens when the fourth turning meets fifth generation warfare.
00:00:39.900 A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran.
00:00:46.540 This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.
00:00:50.100 There are no tariffs.
00:00:51.440 There's a pause on this because, as has been reported by CNN and every other news outlet,
00:00:56.100 both Mexico and Canada have reached agreements today with Donald Trump to do what we want them to do.
00:01:01.800 The point of this exercise today, to me, had less to do with trade and more to do with saying to our neighbors,
00:01:08.260 you need to be better neighbors.
00:01:09.760 We are more important to your economy than you are to ours.
00:01:12.340 As President Trump stands down for now on Canada and Mexico, a trade war could be heating up with China.
00:01:18.160 China is imposing additional tariffs of 10 to 15 percent on a range of U.S. imports, including coal,
00:01:24.660 liquefied natural gas, crude oil, farm machinery.
00:01:27.900 I move that the committee favorably report the nomination of the Honorable Robert F. Kennedy Jr. of California
00:01:33.580 to be Secretary of Health and Human Services.
00:01:36.460 Is there a second?
00:01:37.320 Second.
00:01:37.660 Mr. Chairman, the final title was 14 ayes, 13 ayes.
00:01:40.560 The vote was 14-13.
00:01:42.460 The nomination is reported favorably.
00:01:44.540 Multiple sources tell NBC News there is growing concern in the White House and among Republicans
00:01:49.680 that Tulsi Gabbard's nomination for director of national intelligence could be in serious trouble.
00:01:55.780 After extensive consideration, conversations with her in my office,
00:02:03.440 attending the hearing, questioning her there, and listening to her in the closed session,
00:02:10.080 I decided to vote that I will vote for her.
00:02:14.420 The future of USAID, that's the U.S. Agency for International Development, is uncertain.
00:02:20.920 After Elon Musk said President Trump has agreed to shut it down.
00:02:24.580 In shutting down, which we're in the process of doing, shutting down USAID,
00:02:27.540 the reason for that, as opposed to simply, you know, trying to do some minor housecleaning,
00:02:33.080 is that as we dug into USAID, it became apparent that what we have here is not an apple with a worm in it,
00:02:41.600 but we have actually just a ball of worms.
00:02:45.080 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily Live, Washington, D.C.
00:02:49.640 Today is February 4th, 2025.
00:02:51.700 Anno Domini, RFK passed through committee.
00:02:55.260 Tulsi Gabbard will be voted through in committee within minutes.
00:03:00.220 We're going to be monitoring this because I want to make sure that there aren't any little hiccups
00:03:05.060 that all these senators, if they need to have their hands held, if they need something,
00:03:10.440 oh, just a little bit taken care of, that everything will go perfectly fine for them.
00:03:14.240 Don't worry, boys. Don't worry. Everything will be okay.
00:03:17.900 Everything will be good. You just follow along.
00:03:21.600 You follow along with the president, and you follow along with his nominees.
00:03:26.440 You give him the cabinet that he voted for and that the American people voted for.
00:03:32.900 Remember, Bobby Kennedy and Tulsi Gabbard were at every single stop with President Trump along the way.
00:03:41.040 So, by the way, was Elon Musk.
00:03:43.220 People say, I didn't vote for Elon Musk.
00:03:45.280 Yes, they did.
00:03:46.540 They absolutely did, because President Trump couldn't have made it more abundantly clear
00:03:51.480 that Elon, Bobby, and Tulsi would be on the team,
00:03:55.080 which means, boys and girls of the United States Senate,
00:03:58.440 that when they're on the team, they're on the team.
00:04:01.340 You don't get to kick them off the team.
00:04:03.900 You can have your conversations.
00:04:05.820 You can have your advise and consent.
00:04:07.600 Remember, advise and consent.
00:04:09.580 Advise and consent.
00:04:10.940 Okay. All right.
00:04:12.760 We've taken your advice.
00:04:14.480 We've gotten your consent.
00:04:15.720 And now it's time to move past this process.
00:04:19.460 And we're going to move to the process of making America great again.
00:04:23.520 You think USAID and taking down that behemoth was big?
00:04:27.000 You think that was big?
00:04:28.260 You just wait.
00:04:29.260 You just wait and see what comes next.
00:04:32.320 We're talking U.S. Department of Education,
00:04:36.880 the National Endowment for the Arts.
00:04:39.160 You will see horrors beyond your wildest imaginations
00:04:46.480 because buried deep down within the bowels of these things
00:04:51.400 is truly the stuff of nightmares.
00:04:55.000 And yes, I'm talking about the intel community.
00:04:58.520 We'll be right back.
00:04:59.540 Human Events Daily.
00:05:00.240 And what America first truly means.
00:05:09.180 Welcome to the second American Revolution. 0.56
00:05:18.240 All right.
00:05:19.300 I want to welcome in all the Charlie Kirk listeners
00:05:21.900 on the Salem Radio Network.
00:05:24.260 We are now carried coast to coast
00:05:26.000 right behind Charlie in the third hour.
00:05:29.160 This is Jack Posobiec, the host of Human Events Daily.
00:05:34.120 And as we're waiting right now,
00:05:36.240 the Tulsi Gabbard vote imminent
00:05:37.720 in the United States Senate Intel Committee.
00:05:40.420 By the way, just realize the reason that
00:05:42.640 we can't get a live feed is, of course,
00:05:44.620 they're holding this vote behind closed doors.
00:05:47.740 We were looking for this and suddenly,
00:05:49.140 oh, yes, that's right.
00:05:50.440 Can't get a live vote of that.
00:05:51.800 So with that being said,
00:05:52.800 we've got sources on the ground there
00:05:55.020 at the United States Senate
00:05:56.680 and we'll be getting that vote to you momentarily.
00:06:00.060 As we await the news,
00:06:01.900 Mike Benz, the executive director
00:06:03.680 of the Foundation of Freedom Online,
00:06:05.240 joins us today.
00:06:06.600 Benz, how's it going, man?
00:06:09.340 Great, Zach.
00:06:10.020 How you doing?
00:06:11.800 Well, I just wanted to say, Mike Benz,
00:06:13.920 I want to be clear about something.
00:06:15.180 You are of sound mind.
00:06:16.620 You're here of your own volition.
00:06:18.060 You are witting.
00:06:19.580 You are not on the influence.
00:06:21.220 You love your life.
00:06:22.480 You don't have any reason to want to do something untoward going forward.
00:06:27.320 Because Benz, man, these people,
00:06:29.220 they are going to come for you after what you did to USAID, brother.
00:06:32.440 Well, I've always said I fear USAID much more than I fear the CIA.
00:06:39.420 Because USAID is how the CIA actually gets things done.
00:06:43.880 And it's actually these swarms of USAID tentacles
00:06:48.460 that have a sort of dark arts mask behind their institutional veneer
00:06:56.540 that are how people get attacked.
00:07:00.240 USAID funds hit peace journalists.
00:07:02.880 USAID is the reason they took down Rudy Giuliani.
00:07:06.260 It was USAID who paid journalists $20 million
00:07:08.680 to dig up dirt on Rudy Giuliani and his work in Ukraine
00:07:12.240 and then used that as the basis of lawsuits
00:07:14.380 and even the impeachment of Trump in 2019.
00:07:17.040 USAID who paid journalists to dig up dirt on Paul Manafort
00:07:20.580 write false hit peace news stories
00:07:23.360 about him having a connection to Julian Assange and the Russians.
00:07:27.500 This is stock in trade.
00:07:29.420 And, you know, the CIA would have nothing to play with.
00:07:33.400 There weren't USAID assets that have to build them to gaze with, coordinate with.
00:07:38.860 So, you know, what we're staring into right now is the eye of Sauron.
00:07:43.600 So, you know, I think that's exactly right.
00:07:49.680 I'm just checking here as well with the U.S. Senate regarding this.
00:07:53.300 But, Ben, here's the thing.
00:07:55.200 Is USAID something that we've realized in terms of the response to this?
00:07:59.640 It's like, here come you.
00:08:01.640 And you've been talking about this organization for years.
00:08:04.060 You, of course, dealt with them in the 45 administration when you were at the State Department.
00:08:08.860 That's really when you got your first brush with how this really turned into this black box,
00:08:14.500 not just for, and by the way, I get that it's, you know, it goes viral and people talk about,
00:08:19.660 oh, you know, there's this DEI program and this woke program and the Guatemalan ponchos down in the rainforest, etc.
00:08:27.160 But the real danger with USAID isn't necessarily and hasn't necessarily just been these woke programs.
00:08:35.160 It's actually been that this organization is at the forefront of the color revolutions,
00:08:41.060 the governmental shaping operations of the United States globalist forces around the world.
00:08:47.560 That's what they're really upset about, because USAID was the cover organization for the lifeblood of all these institutions,
00:08:55.520 of the funding that was going to them, many of which, by the way, are running directly to,
00:09:00.640 as we're finding out, the neoconservative and the neoliberal think tanks.
00:09:06.620 Of course, of course.
00:09:08.440 And, you know, that is one element of it.
00:09:11.900 And there's an argument to be made about different policy schools of thought for how the U.S. empire should operate abroad
00:09:20.700 in terms of, you know, how dirty should our deeds be?
00:09:23.820 You know, the color revolution playbook, the infiltration of foreign institutions,
00:09:28.620 the manipulation of foreign governments.
00:09:30.100 I mean, I mean, USAID has in its charter the determination to influence the judicial, you know,
00:09:38.020 to control judges, control legislatures, the rise and fall of laws.
00:09:43.200 But what I found, you know, I wasn't really as unseemly as I found that all.
00:09:48.860 I never really made a crusade of USAID until it became so apparent during Trump 1.0
00:09:56.440 that they were taking that same Department of Dirty Strict toolkits they have to control foreign governments
00:10:03.260 to control our own.
00:10:05.380 And that's really when the argument ends about, you know, whether to do these dirty deeds abroad, 0.91
00:10:12.440 how, you know, how dirty is too dirty?
00:10:14.560 What we're seeing right now is an equivalent to the debate that was had over the Smith-Bunt Act
00:10:21.420 where you had foreign propaganda that the CIA, the State Department, and Voice of America
00:10:30.440 and Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty would produce from the 1940s into 2013
00:10:37.780 when the Smith-Bunt Act was destroyed through an amendment.
00:10:43.740 It passed through the NDAA, and that broke this foreign domestic firewall around U.S. lies
00:10:51.640 printed to advance U.S. interests in foreign newspapers
00:10:55.040 and allowed them to disseminate CIA and State Department propaganda at home.
00:11:00.120 What we've seen with USAID is a parallel story, which is that operation, institutional capacity building abroad
00:11:09.040 is now impacting domestic affairs, and deliberately so.
00:11:14.140 USAID made a doctrinal policy pivot to call populism a threat to democracy.
00:11:20.080 And as a democracy promotion program, that means they consider themselves the white blood cells
00:11:25.520 to stop populism around the world.
00:11:27.180 Well, where is ground zero for populism?
00:11:30.200 It's, hey, the democratically elected populist president of the United States.
00:11:36.800 No, I think that's exactly right.
00:11:38.460 By the way, Ben, I want to hold you over for one second.
00:11:41.660 But first, I want to go quickly to talk about one of our sponsors here on the program.
00:11:47.360 Because, folks, did you know that seven banks failed in just the last two years,
00:11:51.940 and your money has 20% less purchasing power than it did just four years ago?
00:11:57.960 Now, the Human Events audience knows to expect the unexpected,
00:12:01.420 especially when it comes to the economy, which is exactly why we've partnered with today's sponsor, Allegiance Gold.
00:12:08.240 Gold has been the one commodity that stood strong for thousands of years.
00:12:12.240 Through wars, recessions, financial collapses, gold has stood the test of time.
00:12:16.000 Because gold doesn't depend on Wall Street, politicians, or the value of paper money.
00:12:20.700 It's real.
00:12:21.300 It's tangible.
00:12:22.220 And it holds its value when everything else falls apart.
00:12:25.420 I partnered with Allegiance Gold because they can show you how to diversify your savings with gold and silver
00:12:31.960 and protect what you have worked so hard for.
00:12:34.380 Go to protectwithposo.com, and Allegiance will give you up to $5,000 in free physical gold or silver to get started.
00:12:40.920 Plus, no setup fees if you choose a gold-backed IRA.
00:12:44.820 The time is now.
00:12:45.660 Take control of your financial future.
00:12:47.080 Go to protectwithposo.com right now.
00:12:49.700 That's protectwithposo.com.
00:12:52.020 And so one of the things that we're really digging into here, Ben, one of the things that we're really trying to understand with USAID
00:13:07.480 and really writ large around these programs is that the U.S. government has been using this to fund basically their dirty operations, their black operations.
00:13:19.560 And it's not just USAID, but it's other programs as well.
00:13:22.320 Isn't that right?
00:13:22.860 90 seconds to the break.
00:13:23.840 Yeah, well, USAID occupies a sort of senior spot in a whole umbrella and consortium, a labyrinth of supporting organizations and adjacent organizations.
00:13:37.940 For example, the National Democratic Democracy has come under a tremendous amount of fire in recent months and years for doing the exact same thing that USAID does.
00:13:48.180 And the National Democratic Democracy is, of course, a very famous, notorious CIA cutout, first received by CIA Director William Casey under Ronald Reagan in order to get CIA's old powers back,
00:14:01.620 but simply move it outside the CIA to a CIA-liased nonprofit.
00:14:07.880 That nonprofit receives 100 percent funding from the U.S. government directly accountable to the U.S. Congress.
00:14:14.860 And what it does is it does the sort of operations arm of the organizations that USAID fund.
00:14:23.720 So USAID, as it draws this fire, all the adjacent organizations like National Democratic Democracy, U.S. Institute for Peace, Freedom House,
00:14:34.040 the whole spindle work of both direct government grantees and then the subgrantees,
00:14:40.200 the thousands, tens of thousands of subgrantees that they themselves fund are all.
00:14:46.300 And what we're doing here, what Elon is doing with those is he's going directly to the head of the snake.
00:14:52.260 And Mike Benz has the receipt.
00:14:54.140 We'll be right back here on Human Events.
00:14:55.640 Today, you know, they talk about influences.
00:15:03.280 These are influences and they're friends of mine.
00:15:07.540 Jack Posobiec.
00:15:09.040 Where's Jack?
00:15:10.000 Jack.
00:15:10.980 He's done a great job.
00:15:12.840 All right.
00:15:15.600 Here we are.
00:15:16.140 Jack Posobiec back with Human Events.
00:15:19.380 Want to thank Charlie Kirk as well and welcome his listeners on the Salem News Radio Network for allowing us this opportunity to broadcast live to you.
00:15:30.140 By the way, breaking news over the during the break there, I should say, that RFK is being moving forward, being moved forward through the committee.
00:15:39.440 Kash Patel's committee hearing has been scheduled for Thursday at 10 a.m.
00:15:44.920 Senator Mike Rounds, he of South Dakota, just came out and announced one minute ago that he will be voting for Tulsi Gabbard as DNI.
00:15:55.780 Again, that vote taking place behind closed doors.
00:15:58.960 So we're not exactly sure what's going on within the committee just yet, waiting to get a readout of it from sources that I've got there in the well of the Senate and all through the various Senate office buildings.
00:16:11.880 We've still got a couple of minutes left with our great guest, Mike Benz.
00:16:16.340 So, Benz, when it comes to USAID and this head of the snake that has been lopped off, I mean, you pointed to it.
00:16:25.060 President Trump and Elon Musk and their team swung the sword.
00:16:29.840 But that said, the nature of government is different than that.
00:16:33.700 You can't just take out one thing and the programs all go away.
00:16:37.540 It's a little more complicated, isn't it?
00:16:39.020 A lot more complicated.
00:16:42.740 Yes, that's right.
00:16:43.500 And my concern is that this has been a – make no mistake, what's happening right now is absolutely historic.
00:16:51.000 And it is really the first time that the foreign policy establishment has had to respond in a serious way to the concerns of the American people that fund it.
00:17:01.380 This has never been done before.
00:17:02.820 And, you know, there were attempts, actually, in the 1990s to do this.
00:17:08.260 There were attempts to do this with the intelligence community in the 1970s.
00:17:12.080 But this is – looks to be the most serious one in American history.
00:17:15.300 At the same time, we should not – we should be rejoicing and cheering it on.
00:17:21.240 But we cannot make the mistake that the Brexit movement did in June 2016 when everyone popped the champagne at the moment of that referendum.
00:17:29.960 But Brexit, in fact, was thwarted in terms of Brexit in practice by all the layers of subsequent pushback and resistance that effectively 180'd the whole reason for Brexiting in the first place.
00:17:48.640 And today, the UK is run by the UK Labour Party, which is the most tyrannical government perhaps in the entire world right now.
00:17:57.220 It's arresting people for clicking the retweet button.
00:18:00.900 And the same thing could very well happen with this current reform of U.S. aid if stewardship of it is not aggressive to the hilt to the very, very end of this.
00:18:12.920 And in particular, it's worth noting that while there is a so-called funding pause on U.S. aid, U.S. aid is fully funded through Q1, which means that the overwhelming lion's share of U.S. aid activities will continue to be financed until the end of March.
00:18:32.780 In that time, much could happen.
00:18:35.020 It's very easy.
00:18:35.920 You know, and I've been saying this, but I'll keep repeating it.
00:18:40.140 Killing U.S. aid does not end U.S. aid.
00:18:42.960 It's moving over to state, and state is going to be inheriting a U.S. aid herpes infection.
00:18:49.260 It is very easy to take those same grants and those same operations and move it from U.S. aid's Democracy Rights and Governance Division into state's Democracy Rights and Labor Division.
00:19:00.700 There's parallel offices for state and U.S. aid in almost all respects.
00:19:07.240 This is the same reason that it wouldn't make that much of a difference to shut down the CIA and simply park the CIA out of the State Department, which was the initial plan in 1948.
00:19:17.420 And so, and you heard Marco Rubio acknowledge this himself, that much of this will be carried over, but the trench warfare is going to be on what to keep and what to cut.
00:19:27.760 And every step of the way, you are going to have a solid block of congressional Democrats, plus a critical component of defecting blob Republicans who are going to want to keep that rift going.
00:19:40.600 But many of the key Republicans, their donors and constituents are on U.S. aid payroll, and they will fight for their political lives in order to save U.S. aid in function.
00:19:54.520 That's exactly.
00:19:55.240 Even if it's in fact, which means we need pressure, pressure, pressure.
00:19:59.040 I say monitor the Republicans on this even more than the Democrats, because all it takes is a handful of congressional and Senate Republicans to team up with the Democrats to kill this whole thing, whether now or in the months and years ahead.
00:20:11.680 And they need to be primaried.
00:20:13.280 And I would like to see a solid statement right now from Mike Johnson and John Thune on this.
00:20:18.060 Where are they in this?
00:20:19.800 How come I have not seen them leading this crusade?
00:20:22.860 I'd love to hear that.
00:20:23.520 How come the Freedom Caucus for all these years has never seemed to mention it once?
00:20:26.760 Congratulations, by the way, though, to you, Mike Benz.
00:20:29.740 You called the shot.
00:20:31.500 The shot has been taken.
00:20:32.720 Where can people follow you, brother?
00:20:34.920 Follow me on X at Mike Benz Cyber and read all of our work about U.S. aid at FoundationForFreedomOnline.com.
00:20:41.820 Mike Benz, the man's got the receipts.
00:20:43.920 We'll be right back.
00:20:44.940 Jack Posobiec with Human Events.
00:20:52.940 And Jack, where is Jack?
00:20:54.700 Where is Jack?
00:20:58.280 Where is he?
00:20:59.560 Jack, I want to see you.
00:21:03.220 Great job, Jack.
00:21:04.620 Thank you.
00:21:05.400 What a job you do.
00:21:06.820 You know, we have an incredible thing.
00:21:08.200 We're always talking about the fake news and the bad.
00:21:10.500 But we have guys.
00:21:11.960 And these are the guys who should be getting Pulisic.
00:21:13.980 All right, Jack Posobiec, we're back here, Washington, D.C.
00:21:19.720 Want to thank Charlie Kirk as well and welcome in his audience on the Salem Radio Network here for his third hour and us on Human Events.
00:21:29.920 By the way, just getting a word here from the United States Senate that the vote is not yet done for Tulsi Gabbard, but also, oh, wait, wait, wait.
00:21:45.760 I just got word, I just got word that the vote was 9-8.
00:21:50.580 Tulsi Gabbard has the votes 9-8 in the United States Senate Intelligence Committee.
00:21:57.060 Waiting to see if that's public.
00:21:58.880 Yes, it is public.
00:22:00.560 Tulsi Gabbard has officially been voted out of the Intelligence Committee.
00:22:06.300 Lieutenant Colonel Tulsi Gabbard passing a key, a key checkpoint on her way to becoming your Director of National Intelligence.
00:22:17.180 More on that in one quick second.
00:22:20.240 Of course, I am obligated to work with our partners because we could not do this work.
00:22:27.480 We could not do this work without the help of our partners.
00:22:31.280 And that's why I implore you to go and support them as well.
00:22:35.080 Folks, AI is in the news practically every day, and it's not always good news when it comes to your privacy.
00:22:41.820 This past summer, Elon Musk openly stated that if Apple integrates OpenAI in its operating system, his companies will ban Apple devices.
00:22:50.620 As a matter of fact, if you walked into the X office or a Tesla factory, you'd have to check your phone or tablet in a Faraday cage.
00:22:57.640 Silence Faraday products block all incoming and outgoing signals so that your devices are invisible and safe from the outside world.
00:23:05.980 From the backpacks, phone sleeves, and even pants, patented signal blocking technology blocks wireless signals, giving you the peace of mind that your data doesn't end up in your wrong hands.
00:23:17.040 Just place your device inside, close it, and that's it.
00:23:19.500 You're safeguarded from unauthorized access.
00:23:22.140 Between the government, big tech, corporate America, and its criminals, your privacy is compromised 24-7.
00:23:28.320 There's no option.
00:23:30.020 You have to protect yourself.
00:23:31.280 That starts with silence.
00:23:33.300 Go silent today at slnt.com slash poso to save 15% plus free shipping on qualifying orders.

00:23:48.540 Lieutenant Colonel Tulsi Gabbard just won.
00:23:53.180 She just got passed through the United States Senate Intelligence Committee.
00:23:56.680 They said it couldn't be done.
00:23:58.120 They said it wasn't possible.
00:23:59.760 They said she wasn't going to be able to do it.
00:24:01.760 They said that she couldn't have it.
00:24:03.200 They counted out Tulsi.
00:24:04.540 They counted out the Lieutenant Colonel.
00:24:06.240 And don't you ever count out the Lieutenant Colonel.
00:24:09.080 Don't you ever count out the Lieutenant Colonel.
00:24:11.880 How dare you count out the Lieutenant Colonel Tulsi Gabbard there showing everyone,
00:24:17.840 showing the entire world how you get it done and how you get the job done.
00:24:23.980 And yes, there were a couple senators that needed a little bit more conversation than others.
00:24:28.880 And there were a few senators that needed just a little bit more of that conversing.
00:24:34.420 But there you go, boys.
00:24:35.720 There you go, boys.
00:24:37.140 That's how it works.
00:24:38.680 9-8.
00:24:39.500 Now she advances down to the full United States Senate. 1.00
00:24:43.360 And there will be challenges on that Senate floor for herself, for Bobby Kennedy, and yes,
00:24:48.700 Kash Patel, who I expect will be voted out of the Senate Judiciary Committee come Thursday morning at 10-15.
00:24:55.400 But I just want you all, I just want you all to take a step back and savor this moment.
00:25:03.100 Bobby Kennedy, Tulsi Gabbard, the MAGA, MAHA movement, the standard bearers, all coming together today,
00:25:12.660 officially confirmed by the U.S. Senate committees, the Committee on Finance, and the Committee on Intel,
00:25:19.600 moving forward, these impossible, the impossible nominees, they said it's not possible.
00:25:26.420 There's no way that they could ever be done.
00:25:29.540 And now here we are, folks.
00:25:30.980 We actually stand on the precipice of being able to reform our country, to save our republic,
00:25:38.880 and to be able to bequeath the United States of America to our children that they deserve.
00:25:45.440 It's incredible.
00:25:46.680 It's absolutely incredible.
00:25:47.960 Congratulations to Bobby.
00:25:50.300 Congratulations to Lieutenant Colonel Gabbard.
00:25:52.920 Congratulations, of course, are owed to President Donald J. Trump.
00:25:58.320 I want to bring in here, we've got Kenny Cody from humanevents.com.
00:26:02.900 Kenny, you wrote a whole op-ed talking about the importance of these nominees.
00:26:08.320 I'd like you to reflect on that piece and also the fact that the news just came down,
00:26:13.280 breaking within the last couple of minutes.
00:26:14.860 Bobby Kennedy and Tulsi Gabbard both respectively confirmed by their Senate committees.
00:26:23.020 Well, it's huge for our movement.
00:26:24.960 It is huge for the Trump administration.
00:26:27.040 We are getting the change agents that the MAGA mandate asked us to implement.
00:26:31.620 And that took pressure from the MAGA movement.
00:26:34.580 Listen, Todd Young, Bill Cassidy, and all these others, Susan Collins would not have voted for it,
00:26:39.740 had people like Jack Posobiec, Human Events, and other MAGA change agents been advocating for the change that the Trump administration actually wants.
00:26:48.000 They called Pete Hexeth impossible.
00:26:50.020 They called Tulsi Gabbard impossible.
00:26:51.740 Bobby Kennedy, Kash Patel, they are too radical.
00:26:55.320 They are too, they are too far-falled, involved in the movement.
00:26:59.000 They are far-right.
00:27:00.480 They're not good enough.
00:27:01.800 They're not moderate enough.
00:27:03.660 They're not centrist enough.
00:27:05.280 Well, look what we have here.
00:27:06.740 They have been passed by all their committees.
00:27:08.780 Kash Patel will be passed later on this week.
00:27:11.140 And we are going to implement the change that the American people have mandated that the Trump administration take.
00:27:16.780 We did not vote for Donald Trump to get Mike Rogers as the FBI director.
00:27:22.060 We did not vote to get a Washington bureaucrat as the secretary of health.
00:27:26.700 And we did not vote for a deep state bureaucrat to be appointed as the director of national intelligence.
00:27:32.080 We are getting the change agents that the American people voted the Trump administration in to implement.
00:27:37.060 And that will change the deep state, Washington, D.C. forever.
00:27:41.700 I am so excited for the movement.
00:27:43.540 I am so excited for the people who have made these things happen.
00:27:46.580 And Jack, you, I, and so many others have been calling for these kinds of appointments and these kinds of needed agents of change for years.
00:27:55.120 We are past the 2017-2021 term of Donald Trump when he had to work with the establishment in order to get things done.
00:28:02.480 And this lame duck term is going to be the most consequential administration in American history.
00:28:08.500 And passing Tulsi Gabbard, Hegseth, Kennedy, and Kash Patel are the first steps to make the change that the U.S. government and Washington, D.C. needs.
00:28:17.120 And I cannot wait to see it this week and next.
00:28:19.440 By the way, Kenny, I completely agree.
00:28:24.200 And go read Kenny's piece up at humanevents.com.
00:28:27.020 And by the way, I'm going to be making sure to find out exactly who those nine senators were and who the eight senators were as well.
00:28:35.380 Because we don't do closed-door meetings around here.
00:28:38.960 No, not on human events.
00:28:40.480 That's not how I treat my audience.
00:28:42.160 That's not how the American people deserve to be treated, these closed-door, behind-the-scenes nonsense.
00:28:47.440 No, we're not going to be doing any of that.
00:28:49.780 We're going to be doing full accountability, full transparency.
00:28:52.800 That's what President Trump called for.
00:28:54.260 And so we are going to deliver on that, the change agents.
00:28:59.000 And, Kenny, I really wanted to ask you about something.
00:29:02.520 This came up a couple of weeks ago when you and I were on the program together.
00:29:07.460 And we were talking, interestingly enough, about the H-1B program.
00:29:11.120 And we were talking about this narrative that was out there where they said, oh, there's no talent in America.
00:29:17.520 There's just no, you know, we've got to bring in foreign programmers for AI. 0.98
00:29:23.100 We're going to lose the AI space race if we don't bring in these imported programmers because the talent just isn't there. 1.00
00:29:30.540 And then I see that Doge has this kid named Luke Farator out of Nebraska who comes in and is able to reprogram the entire U.S. government using AI, using Python scripts that he's able to come up with.
00:29:48.160 That he got his sort of claim to fame from, oh, by the way, decoding Roman scrolls that were burned up in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in Pompeii.
00:30:02.180 And he's actually found a way to read the charred scrolls for the first time in thousands of years.
00:30:08.580 Kenny, I'm confused because I was told there was no talent in America.
00:30:12.600 What's going on here?
00:30:14.560 I think the establishment is losing his control of the narrative.
00:30:17.860 They've been telling us for years how they want to squash the middle class.
00:30:21.420 There's no talent in the middle class. 0.98
00:30:22.960 There's no talent in these flyover states, such as the one that I'm from, from Tennessee or a state like Nebraska.
00:30:28.820 We've been told for so long that there is no American talent, that we need to import college students.
00:30:33.920 We need to import, you know, university graduate students to take jobs for real Americans. 1.00
00:30:38.220 But then you see a kid like Luke from Nebraska who is breaking down things that the American public very has any idea how to do
00:30:45.840 or any information about what those scrolls contain.
00:30:48.560 Listen, we have to be able to change the narrative.
00:30:51.360 This is the same narrative that we had to combat and that Gabbard, Kennedy, Patel, and Hexsef were not possible to leave federal departments.
00:30:58.400 We also have to combat the narrative that they want to just keep the middle class down.
00:31:02.680 The middle class is what won Donald Trump this election.
00:31:04.940 The talent is in the middle class.
00:31:06.920 The talent is in America.
00:31:08.580 The talent is in these flyover state kids that go to universities, that go and work jobs, endless hours,
00:31:15.640 that take payless internships in order to work in the fields that they want to work in,
00:31:20.060 and to take down these narratives that American kids cannot get hired,
00:31:24.860 that we have to bring in those from India, from China, from other countries that are our enemies, 0.96
00:31:28.880 and for some reason bring their talent in to take over our talent,
00:31:33.500 and for them to take over corporations, to take over government institutions,
00:31:37.260 and to give benefits to other countries overseas.
00:31:40.940 But now, kids like Luke are changing that narrative.
00:31:44.740 People like the ones that we are getting confirmed into the Trump administration are changing that narrative.
00:31:49.800 We have got to change the mainstream media narrative and the cultural Marxist progressive left narrative
00:31:55.000 that have controlled our universities, that have controlled our government,
00:31:58.340 that have controlled our media, and those who are responsible for hiring these people on H-1B basis.
00:32:04.920 We've got to change that narrative into hiring Americans, into promoting America,
00:32:10.280 and promoting American values in our government, in our economy, and in our infrastructure and establishment,
00:32:16.780 taking over the establishment narrative to benefit the American people for once,
00:32:20.820 instead of corporations, other countries, and the deep state that have controlled Washington,
00:32:25.000 that have controlled our government, and controlled our media for far too long.
00:32:28.420 It's time to change that narrative, and I'm glad people like Luke, Cash Patel, Gabbard, and Bobby Kennedy
00:32:33.540 are helping change that narrative.
00:32:36.620 The narrative machine has been completely broken.
00:32:42.140 Guess what? There is talent in this country.
00:32:45.640 America's greatest days are ahead of us.
00:32:47.940 We don't need to look to foreign borders.
00:32:50.760 We don't need to look to imported cheap labor.
00:32:53.060 We can look right here.
00:32:54.480 Nebraska.
00:32:56.040 A flyover state.
00:32:57.800 A flyover state of nobodies.
00:32:59.980 A state that nobody needs to care about.
00:33:02.040 A state that doesn't matter.
00:33:04.180 And right there, you get a kid from Nebraska who says,
00:33:07.100 you know, I used to just like to hang out and listen to podcasts about Roman history.
00:33:13.060 And then I play in a programming script,
00:33:16.420 and I decided to take that to the next level.
00:33:19.720 That's real talent.
00:33:21.980 That's real genius in this country.
00:33:24.700 We're going to be right back with more with Kenny Cody
00:33:26.920 because we're talking about how America is being made great again
00:33:30.620 before our very eyes.
00:33:32.540 Human Events will be right back.
00:33:33.600 Jack is a great guy.
00:33:47.140 He's written a fantastic book.
00:33:48.800 Everybody's talking about it.
00:33:50.000 Go get it.
00:33:51.100 And he's been my friend right from the beginning of this whole beautiful event.
00:33:55.060 And we're going to turn it around and make our country great again.
00:33:58.280 Amen.
00:33:58.640 All right, here we are.
00:34:03.580 Jack Posovic, 1776 at humanevents.com, 1776 at humanevents.com.
00:34:10.340 I'm going to put this out because we have our question of the day today.
00:34:13.580 And this is a big one.
00:34:15.780 USAID was cut.
00:34:18.360 So what do you think Doge should target next?
00:34:22.600 Because we saw the left losing their minds yesterday.
00:34:25.680 I mean, literally losing their minds yesterday.
00:34:29.100 Because it was great.
00:34:30.440 You know, it was like Elon said,
00:34:31.840 Okay, how much money does the United States government spend?
00:34:35.840 And then they said, well, we don't know exactly.
00:34:38.120 And he said, well, who makes the payments?
00:34:40.020 Because surely they know.
00:34:41.180 So great.
00:34:41.980 Let's just go there.
00:34:44.140 1776 at humanevents.com, 1776 at humanevents.com.
00:34:48.700 What do you think should be the next up on the chopping block?
00:34:53.140 What do you think should be next up on that piece of it?
00:34:56.680 Not sure.
00:34:57.420 Not sure exactly.
00:34:59.220 But I've got a couple ideas.
00:35:01.560 Stay tuned.
00:35:05.880 Jack is a great guy.
00:35:07.520 He's written a fantastic book.
00:35:09.140 Everybody's talking about it.
00:35:10.380 Go get it.
00:35:11.480 And he's been my friend right from the beginning of this whole beautiful event.
00:35:15.460 And we're going to turn it around and make our country great to get to him.
00:35:18.760 Amen.
00:35:19.020 All right, Jack Posobiec, we are back here, Real America's Voice, Salem Radio Network.
00:35:28.340 And we're on with the great Kenny Coney from humanevents.com.
00:35:32.800 He's a columnist up there.
00:35:34.100 Kenny, walk us through this idea that America's talent can, that America can actually develop talent within our country rather than bringing people in from foreign cultures that are not compatible with ours.
00:35:49.840 We need to bring people in to benefit our own American families.
00:35:55.020 You know, Jack, it's like this difference between thinking that America is a nation or America is an idea.
00:36:01.060 The people who believe America is a nation believes in benefiting American families and American workers.
00:36:06.500 Benefiting the American universities, the people who want to work in America.
00:36:09.580 I know I said America plenty of times there, but that's what we need to prioritize.
00:36:13.060 This idea that we had to bring in foreign talent, that we had to bring in overseas talents in order to fill American jobs.
00:36:20.580 These aren't jobs that are overseas that we're sending Americans to do.
00:36:25.120 These are American jobs made by American corporations and American governments that were bringing in foreign nationals to come and accomplish. 0.57
00:36:32.240 We could hire somebody from these universities, as long as these universities are supplying majors, supplying degrees that actually make a difference.
00:36:39.840 They're not just liberal arts majors, you know, studying gender or something like that.
00:36:44.160 We can hire the great minds from America.
00:36:48.520 We can promote people who know what they're talking about, promote people who are young as the kid from Nebraska, Luke, that you were talking about earlier,
00:36:57.120 the 20-year-old who had a vested interest in a particular topic and expanded his knowledge to the point where he got hired by Doge to do things that hardly any other foreign national could 100% do on an H-1B visa.
00:37:12.720 We have to be able to find this talent.
00:37:14.900 Instead of just going and being lazy and hiring foreign nationals, we have to find the talent in America.
00:37:20.940 Okay, in these flyover states, in these universities that the conservatives are slowly taking back over, both ideologically and in academia, we can find these talent.
00:37:31.440 I promise they're in these flyover states.
00:37:33.880 They are in Appalachia.
00:37:35.700 They're in Pennsylvania.
00:37:37.460 They are in red states.
00:37:39.300 They are in blue states.
00:37:40.440 They are everywhere.
00:37:41.620 There are conservative minds.
00:37:43.380 There are intelligent minds within our country that we can use to fill positions to help our country prosper and to help American corporations prosper, to help American families prosper.
00:37:54.820 This idea that we have to bring in people from other countries, especially countries that hate us like China, is insane.
00:38:02.280 And don't let people tell you that America isn't the shining city on the hill.
00:38:06.720 We are a nation.
00:38:07.920 We are not just this idea.
00:38:09.380 We are a nation that needs to give the benefit to Americans first, to American families first, and to grow American families first, and not prioritize illegal or legal migrants to come in here and take away American jobs and the American family prosperity. 0.64
00:38:25.420 And by the way, not only do I completely agree, but by the way, I'd be remiss if I did not say that during the show, Doug Collins was also confirmed as our VA secretary.
