00:00:25.780 The Poso Daily Brief.

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

00:00:39.540 A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran.

00:00:46.140 This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.

00:00:49.260 Christ is king.

00:00:50.280 Donald Trump says he is not backing down on his sweeping tariffs unless countries even out their trade agreements with the United States.

00:00:56.760 His comments come, a bit growing concern over the stock market.

00:01:00.900 Rates are plummeting.

00:01:02.380 Oil prices are plummeting.

00:01:04.380 Deregulation is happening.

00:01:06.220 You know, we've got all of these things happening.

00:01:09.420 President Trump is not going to bend.

00:01:12.020 I don't want anything to go down.

00:01:14.400 But sometimes you have to take medicine to fix something.

00:01:16.820 Now we have hundreds of billions of dollars that's pouring into our country on a monthly basis.

00:01:23.440 It's pouring.

00:01:23.940 It's already started because they put tariffs on.

00:01:27.100 And eventually it's going to straighten out and our country will be solid and strong again.

00:01:31.420 I got a report from the USTR last night that more than 50 countries have reached out to the president to begin a negotiation.

00:01:37.080 Republican-controlled Senate approved budget framework that includes a multi-trillion dollar track breaks and spending cuts.

00:01:46.080 51 lawmakers voted in favor of the plan that focuses on defense, immigration, energy, and tax policy changes.

00:01:54.320 The plan would allow for more than $5 trillion worth of tax cuts and would also raise the debt limit in the U.S. by $5 trillion.

00:02:02.620 In 2020, the hedge fund bros and tech bros were almost all COVID lockdowners.

00:02:08.220 They wanted the economy shut down.

00:02:10.040 They had a panic attack over COVID because they're so fragile and lack any kind of spiritual dimension.

00:02:15.380 Why was it okay to destroy small business because you were so afraid of COVID?

00:02:19.520 But now when it comes to tariffs and your precious little portfolios are down, you expect us to view you as good faith actors, right?

00:02:27.120 Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome on board to today's edition of Human Events Daily here live in a rainy Washington, D.C.

00:02:35.020 Today is April 7th, 2025, Anno Domini.

00:02:40.200 We are told that President Trump is now meeting live with Bibi Netanyahu.

00:02:46.280 We are going to be going to that momentarily to take it direct from the individuals who are meeting right now in the East Room of the White House.

00:02:57.120 Okay, and so this shot that we're actually showing is not live.

00:03:04.080 So we are going to hold off on that until it takes place.

00:03:10.500 And so we know that the meeting is going to be coming up soon.

00:03:14.020 We know certainly tariffs will be discussed.

00:03:16.500 We know that this has been the first time.

00:03:20.060 And Israel, of course, was the first country that came in and said that they would drop all tariffs on American goods.

00:03:26.740 Why did Israel have tariffs on American goods to begin with?

00:03:30.620 We know that we have this alliance.

00:03:32.640 We know that we have this situation going on.

00:03:36.080 And so we want to know when will the other countries follow suit?

00:03:41.180 President Trump's tariffs, of course, working together with the baseline 10% tariffs around the entire country.

00:03:49.160 And yet, when you look at it, folks, it's time.

00:03:53.220 It's time for all this to take place.

00:03:55.460 It was time for this to happen.

00:03:57.460 President Trump talked about it on the campaign trail ad nauseum.

00:04:01.080 He said there will be tariffs.

00:04:03.640 He was very clear about this.

00:04:05.460 Tariffs and deportations.

00:04:07.300 Tariffs and deportations.

00:04:08.180 Deportations.

00:04:08.880 Why?

00:04:09.520 Because America's immigration policy had gotten out of control and America's trade policy had gotten out of control.

00:04:18.080 And so what was the way to fix that?

00:04:21.620 In a sense, actually fixed both of them.

00:04:23.140 But that's another much deeper rabbit hole.

00:04:26.140 The point being is deportations to fix immigration. 0.72

00:04:31.160 Tariffs to rebalance and fix trade.

00:04:33.780 And here's the thing, boys and girls.

00:04:35.940 This is about Wall Street.

00:04:38.600 This is about the average American.

00:04:41.140 This is about the working class finally getting a bailout of their own. 0.57

00:04:44.960 The bottom 50%. 0.98

00:04:46.340 People that Trump said he was going to vote, he was going to work for so he could get their votes.

00:04:50.800 That's what this is all about.

00:04:53.380 And that is what we are going to fight for and continue to fight for.

00:04:58.480 We've got it up at humanevents.com.

00:04:59.960 You can check it out right now because Trump just canceled.

00:05:02.240 Trump just reset the Great Reset.

00:05:08.180 America first truly means welcome to the second American revolution.

00:05:23.400 All right, Jack Kosovic, we are back live here.

00:05:27.860 Human Events Daily, Washington, D.C.

00:05:30.940 Folks, I want to also bring in Hour 3 of the Charlie Kirk Show on the Salem Radio Network.

00:06:39.800 they're going to be holding a press conference very soon.

00:06:42.360 And hopefully we get some word about a peace process going forward between Israel and Gaza.

00:06:48.400 Netanyahu just arriving at the West Wing minutes ago.

00:06:51.560 We're told that the president is having lunch with Netanyahu as we speak.

00:06:57.600 We'll wait for that East Room conference to begin, and we'll take it as soon as we can live.

00:07:02.120 We're told it should be within 10 minutes' time.

00:07:05.440 Up at humanevents.com, there's a new editorial that's out called Human Events, Trump Just Reset the Great Reset.

00:07:14.880 The golden age is on the other side.

00:07:17.160 And this started this morning because myself and other members of the editorial team were looking at all of this and saying,

00:07:25.000 people are looking at the situation in a vacuum, and this needs to stop.

00:07:28.960 And in fact, this needs to change for people to understand why this deal is taking place now,

00:07:34.920 why this trade policy is going in now, why the tariffs are coming now,

00:07:37.860 and why President Trump is enacting what we call the Great Deal.

00:07:43.400 Why is the Great Deal necessary?

00:07:44.940 Well, it's very simple.

00:07:47.120 All right, let's go through some of it.

00:07:48.980 Trump has ignited one of the most urgent economic battles of the 21st century

00:07:54.080 with his baseline 10% and reciprocal tariff policy on top of that.

00:07:58.960 What does it mean?

00:07:59.920 It means prioritizing American workers and families over billionaires and bankers.

00:08:04.020 While markets are heaving and Democrats are wailing, the American working class may finally see some relief.

00:08:11.660 Instead of exporting jobs and importing cheap goods,

00:08:15.040 the U.S. may start importing jobs and exporting goods made by American labor.

00:08:20.640 Wow, American labor, what a concept.

00:08:24.320 Treasury Secretary Scott Besson was recently on a Tucker Carlson interview,

00:08:28.300 and we, of course, had him on this program as well.

00:08:30.700 And he said that the top 10% of Americans own 88% of equities.

00:08:36.740 The next 40% owns 12% of the stock market.

00:08:39.580 The bottom 50% has debt.

00:08:41.700 They have credit card bills, they rent their homes, they have auto loans,

00:08:45.280 and we've got to give them some relief.

00:08:48.760 And if you read my book, Unhumans, The Secret History of Communist Revolutions,

00:08:53.600 and how to crush them, what did we talk about?

00:08:56.400 Well, we talked about extreme wealth concentration.

00:08:59.220 And unfortunately, in the United States, after the events of 2008, and of course, COVID in 2020,

00:09:05.600 that's the situation that we now have.

00:09:07.960 In the United States, the top 1% holds a disproportionate share of the wealth,

00:09:13.240 around 30% of total net worth, while the bottom 50% only owns about 2% to 3%.

00:09:19.520 Now, what is this mirror?

00:09:21.000 The stark divides in czarist Russia, where a tiny aristocracy controlled vast estates and resources,

00:09:28.560 and imperial China, where landowning elites and the imperial court dominated wealth,

00:09:34.280 leaving peasants in abject poverty.

00:09:37.100 Well, what happened in those situations?

00:09:40.180 You got a little dose of Vladimir Lenin and Chairman Mao.

00:09:44.780 You got the Bolshevik Revolution and the Chinese Communist Party Revolution in China.

00:09:51.060 Now, there's all sorts of things that we can discuss about how those took place,

00:09:54.900 the funding from overseas that certainly backed the Bolsheviks,

00:09:58.240 perhaps looking the other way that was done by the Americans and by the allies post-World War II.

00:10:05.160 But this isn't about that.

00:10:06.500 What we're talking about are the fundamental conditions for that type of anger, that sentiment.

00:10:15.840 Why do you think the Luigi left is out there right now?

00:10:19.040 Why do you think that Tesla dealers are being bombed and targeted for firebombing?

00:10:25.060 Why do you think Carmelo Anthony is up to what, 160?

00:10:29.220 I'll check his give send go right now.

00:10:30.260 What, 160, no, 170, 173, there you go, I had to hit refresh, $173,000.

00:10:37.640 Do you think all of this is done because of, you know, just some random stuff that they read in college?

00:10:45.160 No, no, it is cultural Marxism, and there's a lot of economics driving it.

00:10:51.400 Now, I'll put an aside that the Carmelo Anthony situation is not necessarily economics-driven,

00:10:56.940 but I would say that it's a function of it.

00:10:58.700 Let me explain.

00:11:00.260 Because we're living now in a situation where people in the lower 50% are angry.

00:11:06.820 The middle has been completely eroded in this country.

00:11:10.580 It's fallen out.

00:11:12.640 And Ambassador Lighthizer has talked about this as well.

00:11:15.220 Look, we know that productivity has gained in the United States over the last few decades,

00:11:19.100 but real wages for the working class have barely budged since the 1970s.

00:11:23.280 And that means while executive pay and investment income from the rich have absolutely soared.

00:11:28.960 Again, 2008, who got a bailout?

00:11:31.020 Wall Street.

00:11:31.840 2020, who got a bailout?

00:11:33.260 Wall Street.

00:11:33.800 And what did you get told?

00:11:35.000 You got told that you had to be in lockdown.

00:11:37.100 You got told that your school had to shut down, that you had to put on masks, that you had to get vaccinated, all this stuff.

00:11:42.700 By the way, many of which was supported by the same Covidians who are now totally against the tariff policy

00:11:48.540 and totally reaped the benefits of the massive money printing that went in.

00:11:53.180 Funny how that works in 2020.

00:11:55.020 So, what did we see?

00:11:56.920 Well, this is similar to what a place that you might call Tsarist Russia,

00:12:01.420 where in Tsarist Russia, the serfs and laborers saw no share of economic growth.

00:12:05.800 In Imperial China, peasants faced crushing taxes and rents, which enriched the gentry. 0.91

00:12:11.460 Now, a lot of this came as a result of the Industrial Revolution, the first wave of communist uprisings.

00:12:18.640 So, you have a massive technological or industrial revolution.

00:12:23.500 It leads to wealth concentration, which then, if not properly dealt with, leads to massive uprisings.

00:12:32.040 It's also happened in France.

00:12:33.660 It's happened in Spain.

00:12:35.120 Go through the rest in our book, Unhumans.

00:12:37.700 You can get copies.

00:12:38.500 By the way, we've been selling so many copies of this thing.

00:12:41.200 We sold out of signed copies over the weekend.

00:12:43.580 You can go to unhumansbook.com right now.

00:12:45.600 You can get a signed copy or just go to Amazon.

00:12:47.520 They have it, Audible, the audiobook, whatever.

00:12:49.600 That's not the point.

00:12:50.240 The point is you need to understand that this is a massive driver for communist recruitment and communist activity.

00:12:56.620 We talk about this in Chapter 13 of the book, so I'll just give it to you for free.

00:13:00.360 In Chapter 13 of the book, we go through various case studies in the United States.

00:13:05.220 And how did the United States avoid this type of destabilization?

00:13:09.320 Well, the United States avoided this type of destabilization

00:13:12.420 because we actually had people like Teddy Roosevelt come in, other entrepreneurs.

00:13:17.340 We walked through the National Cash Register Company and their story out of Dayton, Ohio, John Patterson.

00:13:23.520 And what did they do?

00:13:24.760 They started listening to the workers.

00:13:27.200 They started saying, hey, maybe we can find some ways to actually make your lives have better conditions.

00:13:33.480 Maybe we can give you the weekend.

00:13:34.800 Maybe we can give you an eight-hour workday, a five-day workweek.

00:13:38.660 Like John Patterson at the National Cash Register Company said, how about we actually put some windows on the factory so we can let some light in?

00:13:46.620 Then you open the window and maybe even have some airflow from time to time.

00:13:50.740 Wouldn't that be something?

00:13:51.900 You have to realize that's how bad things were in the late 1800s, early 1900s in this country.

00:13:56.280 So when all of those policies came in and after the policy shifts happened, the economics got better, conditions got better for workers.

00:14:05.020 And guess what? There was no massive uprising in the United States like that.

00:14:11.380 So the question is, which do you want?

00:14:15.320 Do you want Main Street to finally get a piece of the pie?

00:14:18.440 Do you want the American people to stop being forgotten and hollowed and lost out?

00:14:23.360 Or do you want the Luigis and the Carmellos and the Tesla terrorists to be the ones that show a completely different path for the American people to walk down?

00:14:36.020 Because I'm telling you, in this bottom 50%, they want an answer and they're tired of waiting.

00:14:42.600 We'll be right back. Human Events Daily.

00:14:43.820 Today, you know, they talk about influencers.

00:15:02.240 These are influencers.

00:15:04.100 And they're friends of mine.

00:15:06.480 Jack Persovic.

00:15:08.020 Where's Jack?

00:15:08.940 Jack.

00:15:09.920 He's done a great job.

00:15:11.380 Thank you.

00:15:13.820 All right, Jack Persovic, here we are back.

00:15:15.680 Human Events Daily, Washington, D.C.

00:15:17.800 And we're talking about how tariffs have historically been used in America to stave off class warfare and to stave off problems of wealth inequality.

00:15:30.280 And by the way, no, I'm not talking about President Trump.

00:15:33.100 I'm talking about someone over 100 years ago who dealt with the same situation during the Industrial Revolution.

00:15:41.920 And his name was President William McKinley.

00:15:46.580 That's right.

00:15:47.580 There's a reason that President Trump is constantly talking about William McKinley.

00:15:51.580 See, when William McKinley was the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, McKinley himself spearheaded something called, listen to this, the Tariff Act of 1890, which raised duties on imports to an average of nearly 50%.

00:16:05.920 What did they do?

00:16:07.920 The goal was to shield U.S. manufacturers from foreign competition, particularly in industries like steel, textiles, and tin.

00:16:16.920 By making imported goods more expensive, domestic producers could thrive, which increased jobs and wages.

00:16:22.240 This was basic protectionism in order to help deal with the working class, stabilize their employment, which was a group that was squeezed by the rapid industrialization, think automation, AI, and the low-wage foreign labor.

00:16:38.600 So the Tariff's intent was to give that breathing room to raise profit margins for American industries, which could then support higher wages.

00:16:46.700 For example, industries like steel saw growth and real wages for unskilled workers rose, oh my gosh, by 50% between 1869 and 1899, a period which overlapped with what?

00:17:00.280 Oh, the high tariff policies.

00:17:04.080 Now, that doesn't mean it was wealth redistribution.

00:17:07.740 What it means was that it lifted the economic floor for the laborers, which reduced the disparity.

00:17:14.260 So, yes, you still had your industrialists and you had your working class, but what did it do for the working class incomes?

00:17:20.200 It greatly improved them.

00:17:22.440 Now, before the income tax, and by the way, the income tax didn't even exist when tariffs first started to get going.

00:17:29.700 This was the original primary revenue source of the United States.

00:17:33.240 Now, what the McKinley tariff did was adjust the tariff system by placing items, like, by the way, this is before the creation, before the federal income tax was instituted.

00:17:44.160 This was in 1913.

00:17:45.880 This is before the Fed.

00:17:47.120 What did McKinley do?

00:17:48.180 He placed items like sugar on the free list while increasing tariffs on manufactured goods.

00:17:53.260 This shift balanced revenue needs with protectionism, though there was some debate about this, etc., etc.

00:17:59.180 Then McKinley, of course, becomes president in 1897.

00:18:03.740 In 1897, he passes new tariffs, which raises the rates further to 49% to 52%, continues the push, continues to save jobs, continues to keep everything going,

00:18:16.380 fostering domestic production, secures unemployment, secures the wages, and guess what?

00:18:22.520 It addressed those disparities by strengthening the economic base.

00:18:27.760 Then, listen to this.

00:18:28.740 This is amazing.

00:18:29.660 This is amazing.

00:18:30.880 Late in his presidency, what was McKinley advocating?

00:18:35.500 He was advocating, listen to that, just listen to this.

00:18:38.740 It's going to blow your mind.

00:18:41.320 Reciprocal trade agreements.

00:18:44.580 Reciprocal trade agreements.

00:18:46.100 Where have I heard that recently?

00:18:48.120 Oh, reciprocal trade agreements from President McKinley, which were a shift from pure protectionism across the board.

00:18:55.440 In fact, in his final speech in 1901, before he was shot by an anarcho-socialist nutjob named Leo Cholgosh, which later executed,

00:19:05.300 McKinley suggested lowering tariffs selectively via negotiation to boost U.S. exports and expand the already strengthened markets.

00:19:16.100 For American goods and labor.

00:19:19.120 Folks, this is what it's all about.

00:19:22.440 Okay?

00:19:23.000 We're not talking about the fact that the rich aren't, the rich, of course the rich stayed rich, and of course the working class stayed the working classes.

00:19:29.520 That's not the point.

00:19:30.060 The point is, you can actually build it all.

00:19:34.080 So listen, listen to this now.

00:19:35.920 President Trump has a new truth out.

00:19:37.720 Countries from all over the world are talking to us.

00:19:40.500 Tough but fair parameters are being set.

00:19:43.120 Spoke to the Japanese prime minister this morning.

00:19:45.560 He is sending a top team to negotiate.

00:19:48.080 They have treated the U.S. very poorly on trade.

00:19:50.620 They don't take our cars, but we take millions of theirs.

00:19:52.860 Likewise, agriculture and many other things.

00:19:55.920 It has to change, but especially with China. 0.98

00:19:59.760 Okay?

00:20:00.780 Understand, this is the plan.

00:20:02.540 Now Secretary Besson's got a new tweet up and he says,

00:20:04.800 We just had a very constructive discussion with the government of Japan.

00:20:08.620 President Trump has tasked me and the U.S. trade rep to open negotiations to implement the president's vision for a new global age of global trade, golden age of global trade, with Prime Minister Ishiba and the cabinet.

00:20:22.600 But of course, China has decided to be recalcitrant and double down on their previous negative behavior. 0.98

00:20:28.220 So we'll see, China.

00:20:29.280 We'll see.

00:20:30.160 The choice is yours.

00:20:32.540 All of this goes back to McKinley.

00:20:35.240 And if you understand what President Trump's doing, is he's taking that previous plan, that previous playbook at work, and moving it forward.

00:20:42.620 We'll be right back.

00:20:43.280 Human Events Dale.

00:20:53.380 And Jack, where is Jack?

00:20:56.380 Where is Jack?

00:20:58.680 Where is he?

00:21:00.000 Jack, I want to see you.

00:21:02.540 Great job, Jack.

00:21:05.160 Thank you.

00:21:05.940 What a job you do.

00:21:07.360 You know, we have an incredible thing.

00:21:08.740 We're always talking about the fake news and the bad, but we have guys, and these are the guys who'll be getting Pulisic.

00:21:14.520 All right, folks, we're back.

00:21:18.560 Jack Posovic here.

00:21:19.620 Human Events Daily, Washington, D.C.

00:21:22.960 Rainy day here in D.C.

00:21:25.000 Folks, listen up.

00:21:26.100 Because if you're still drinking that corporate watered-down nonsense out there for coffee, it's time for a serious wake-up call.

00:21:34.580 Let me tell you something.

00:21:35.340 Blackout coffee is not just a coffee.

00:21:37.180 It is a statement.

00:21:38.320 A declaration that you're done with weak beans and weak values.

00:21:42.660 This is high-octane American roasted fuel for those who grind harder, stand taller, and never back down.

00:21:49.740 Look, look, I love this stuff, but the problem is when my brother's here or K-Poso's around or when my dad's around, they keep snagging it out for me, and I need to find better ways to get it, especially the cold one, the cold brew.

00:22:03.640 They love that stuff.

00:22:04.700 But, folks, blackout coffee, they're not playing games.

00:22:07.400 They're cranking out more bags than ever, shipping faster than ever, and keeping you locked in with coffee that actually fires you up.

00:22:14.660 Whether you're chasing big goals, crushing the daily grind, or just refusing to drink coffee made by people who hate you, blackout coffee has your back.

00:22:22.980 So stop settling.

00:22:24.560 Go to blackoutcoffee.com slash Poso and use promo code Poso for 20% off your first order.

00:22:30.840 Drink like a patriot.

00:22:32.900 Drink blackout.

00:22:33.680 That's blackoutcoffee.com slash Poso.

00:22:36.280 Stop waiting.

00:22:37.240 Wake up with blackout coffee.

00:22:39.520 I want to play a couple of clips now that we have.

00:22:41.520 We have Secretary Besant as well as a CNBC clip.

00:22:44.720 Guys, let's just play them both back to back.

00:22:47.280 I think this is important because we want to get into where we came from and really set the stage for how this stock market bubble was blown up, was just absolutely inflated.

00:23:00.740 It goes back to 2008 in some ways with this massive liquidity being injected into the markets and the funny money that I like to call it.

00:23:08.660 But then during COVID, the entire situation just got completely insane.

00:23:13.820 If people were gorging themselves, people were absolutely gorging themselves on free money from the Fed, free money that was injected into the system.

00:23:22.180 Oh, we're fighting COVID.

00:23:23.200 We're fighting COVID.

00:23:23.940 We've got to fight hard.

00:23:24.780 We've got to fight hard.

00:23:25.560 Go get your vaccine.

00:23:26.420 Go get your vaccine.

00:23:27.160 You remember all of it, right?

00:23:28.320 You remember all of it.

00:23:29.360 Well, guess what?

00:23:30.440 Those guys were gorging themselves on free money, on all the free money that they could get.

00:23:38.140 And at some point, people were going to have to pay the piper.

00:23:42.660 That's what's going on now.

00:23:43.600 Let's roll the clips.

00:23:44.640 If politics were a video game and the president were a character you could play, tariffs would be your most powerful economic move.

00:23:51.360 The USA is uniquely a reasonably big country with a huge consumer class by global standards.

00:23:57.320 So most every sizable company in the world needs to sell here.

00:24:00.400 The argument against tariffs is that they just tax the U.S. consumer.

00:24:03.500 If you say I have to pay $100 to bring my $100 widget over from China, I'll just charge $200 for it.

00:24:09.680 But it doesn't always work that way.

00:24:11.360 What tariffs can also do is encourage companies to avoid the extra charge by making things here in the U.S.

00:24:16.600 Or they can level the playing field for U.S. manufacturers who are getting crushed by cheap imports.

00:24:20.940 So you can't just swallow these headlines that claim tariffs are just a tax on U.S. consumers.

00:24:26.300 If tariffs always dramatically raise prices for consumers, why did that happen in 2018 and 2019?

00:24:32.200 The good news is we have President Trump's previous term when everyone said none of this was going to work.

00:24:39.300 Oh, the China tariffs are going to do this. 0.98

00:24:41.120 They're going to cause inflation. 0.85

00:24:42.580 They didn't.

00:24:44.060 This is going to happen to working class. 1.00

00:24:47.000 It's going to be bad for working class Americans. 0.94

00:24:49.500 Well, guess what?

00:24:50.360 Working class Americans, the hourly workers, they're better than supervisory workers. 1.00

00:24:55.780 The bottom 50% of households, their net worth increased faster than the top 10% of households.

00:25:03.460 Okay, folks, this is what we're talking about.

00:25:08.020 This is what we're talking about here.

00:25:09.980 Understand the conditions that the bottom 50% in this country currently experience on a day-to-day basis that they've been experiencing in some ways since the 1970s, in other ways certainly since 2008.

00:25:26.080 That's why you're seeing the growth of rapid populism.

00:25:30.900 That's why the initial Tea Party, the economic nationalism and the economic populism, the initial Tea Party occupy Wall Street movement, both within a few years of each other.

00:25:41.520 That's why they're raising up so much right now.

00:25:43.820 That's why they're coming up so much.

00:25:46.680 One is populist left and one is populist right.

00:25:49.300 We've been talking about this for a long time here on the program, trying to explain what's really been going on.

00:25:54.620 One is we want conditions better for the American people, not living at the expense.

00:26:00.460 Why are we paying for the defense of Europe when we have these situations in our country for the bottom 50 cents, 50%?

00:26:08.520 Why are we paying for the defense of the entire world when it comes down to this?

00:26:13.680 Why?

00:26:14.240 That's why President Trump is having the peace meetings that he's having.

00:26:17.400 We're not paying for it anymore.

00:26:19.300 We're not underwriting your defense.

00:26:22.420 The security umbrella is getting smaller.

00:26:25.120 You guys are going to have to do something that's called a little bit of shouldering your burden.

00:26:32.220 Okay?

00:26:33.120 It's done.

00:26:34.000 The unfunded mandates to, oh, anything goes wrong in Europe, we're going to take care of that.

00:26:38.500 Anything goes wrong in the Middle East, we're going to take care of that to Asia. 1.00

00:26:40.680 Don't worry, we got it.

00:26:41.400 We got this here.

00:26:42.020 We got that there.

00:26:42.840 25,000 troops here.

00:26:44.260 25,000 troops there.

00:26:45.580 All the troops in Stuttgart, all the troops on the Korean Peninsula, all the troops in Japan, all the troops all throughout the Middle East, all the air bases that we have there.

00:26:53.300 Here's an aircraft carrier.

00:26:54.200 You get an aircraft carrier.

00:26:55.180 You get an aircraft carrier.

00:26:56.620 Who pays for all that? 0.93

00:26:58.280 Where do you think the money comes for all that?

00:27:00.600 The money comes from the American people.

00:27:04.260 The money comes on you and your children and everybody else that's putting into the system.

00:27:12.080 And we do so because we think that's making America better.

00:27:17.060 But meanwhile, while all that's happening, while we're paying for this massive global system, we keep borrowing from overseas to be able to do so, you come back home and you say, what's going on at home?

00:27:28.420 Oh, wait, the factory closed down.

00:27:31.900 It used to be you won World War II, you came home, you got a job at a local factory.

00:27:36.780 Well, guess what?

00:27:37.700 Now you get back from Iraq.

00:27:39.180 Now you get back from Syria.

00:27:40.480 Now you get back from Afghanistan, pulled out, missing limbs, and suddenly, oh, wait, there's no factory.

00:27:49.620 Sorry, factory's closed, but there's a fentanyl dealer who's taking up shop outside so you can hang out with him.

00:27:54.600 Oh, you want to take your kids down to Kensington, go do some shopping on the weekend?

00:27:58.740 Sorry, fentanyl zombies everywhere.

00:28:00.900 Now, Wall Street's addiction to cheap Chinese labor actually has an interesting parallel to the fentanyl addictions of middle America because, in a sense, the fentanyl comes from China, just like the cheap labor.

00:28:15.200 However, it's done to weaken the inside of the United States and hollow us out on both angles, and it's happening on both angles.

00:28:23.660 It's China that's winning on both ends here, on both ends. 0.98

00:28:28.340 They got you coming, they got you going.

00:28:30.780 They got your upstairs, and they have your downstairs.

00:28:34.120 Remember the PPP loans?

00:28:36.280 The savvy thieves, it was like redistribution, it was like reparations, who knows what it was.

00:28:40.200 Look, the loan fraud is everywhere.

00:28:47.020 And Besson's right, the bottom 50%, what do they have?

00:28:50.180 They have the credit card debt.

00:28:53.340 Let me tell you something right now.

00:28:54.740 Power does not come through consumerism.

00:28:59.120 Liberty doesn't just necessarily mean the right to make 10 choices at Starbucks or which color Nike you're going to wear.

00:29:05.560 Liberty comes from knowing where your food comes from, where your medicine comes from, and not having to rely on nations with dictators, totalitarian regimes that want our way of life extinct.

00:29:18.440 That was the Great Reset.

00:29:21.020 That's what it was all about.

00:29:22.380 It was Chinese ownership of America, Chinese ownership and control of the American people, particularly in these areas, particularly in these depressed areas. 0.95

00:29:32.340 And that's how you get situations like Springfield, Ohio, where the town leaders say, oh, gosh, what are we ever going to do to revitalize the town?

00:29:40.620 I know, let's import 10,000, 15,000, 20,000 Haitians. 0.50

00:29:45.660 Let's just do that.

00:29:46.780 Let's bring them all in.

00:29:48.540 Sorry about all the cats and dogs in town.

00:29:50.460 Where'd they go?

00:29:51.640 Oops.

00:29:52.560 Don't worry, though.

00:29:53.660 The Haitians are all working at the meatpacking plant, and they'll be able to take care of it for you.

00:29:58.180 Oh, yeah, you're worried about your kids going shopping down on Main Street?

00:30:01.860 No, don't worry.

00:30:03.440 Don't worry about that for one second.

00:30:06.080 It's a joke.

00:30:07.480 It's been a joke for years, and it's all got to stop.

00:30:12.280 It's all got to stop.

00:30:14.420 The free ride is over.

00:30:16.640 No more bailouts for Wall Street.

00:30:18.540 It's a bailout for Main Street.

00:30:21.040 If you don't have your latte money, you're like, oh, no, no, no, I can't afford a latte.

00:30:25.060 Oh, no.

00:30:25.600 You'll be all right.

00:30:26.220 Because trust me, every working-class American that got their knees broken by the housing crisis or by COVID and got backstabbed by the people that they thought they could trust, well, they haven't had a latte in a minute.

00:30:40.560 Those are the people living with debt.

00:30:42.260 Those are the people saying, you know what?

00:30:43.880 Maybe Luigi has a point.

00:30:45.940 Those are the people saying, you know what?

00:30:47.780 I don't think AOC goes hard enough.

00:30:49.640 I don't think Bernie goes hard enough.

00:30:51.120 I want to burn the whole thing to the ground, and I'm going to start with the local Tesla dealership.

00:30:55.720 Do you understand?

00:30:57.400 Do you understand how we get there?

00:30:59.740 That's the un-humans playbook. 0.97

00:31:01.840 That's what they do.

00:31:02.940 They go into one of these situations.

00:31:04.820 They start preying on people's fears, and they say, you know what?

00:31:08.040 It's not your fault.

00:31:09.560 It's Donald Trump's fault. 0.99

00:31:10.940 It's the white man's fault. 0.99

00:31:12.620 It's Christian's fault. 1.00

00:31:14.460 And you need to fight against all of them.

00:31:17.280 Fight against Trump.

00:31:18.760 Fight against Elon Musk. 0.92

00:31:20.140 Fight against the white, affluent male Christians. 1.00

00:31:26.200 Fight against the patriarchy.

00:31:27.960 Aslan can be a girl.

00:31:29.400 Who cares?

00:31:30.340 Fight against the patriarchy. 1.00

00:31:32.100 Destroy them. 1.00

00:31:33.000 Tear everything down. 1.00

00:31:34.220 You get it?

00:31:35.300 Do you get where this is all driven from?

00:31:37.660 Why there's a market for these things?

00:31:39.440 Because people out there are angry.

00:31:42.040 People out there are upset.

00:31:44.060 You got people watching the Joker movie.

00:31:45.760 The first one, not the second one, because we don't talk about the second one.

00:31:48.200 They're watching that movie and saying, you know what?

00:31:51.300 Seems like a good idea.

00:31:54.140 So this is my message to the folks saying, why is Trump doing all this?

00:31:58.860 Why is Trump making all of these choices?

00:32:01.640 Trump is just going off.

00:32:03.340 Trump is doing it.

00:32:03.980 No, it's not random.

00:32:04.980 It's not random at all.

00:32:06.400 It's about actually improving conditions for the working class and middle class of this country

00:32:12.160 that have been completely blown out.

00:32:14.900 They've been blown out.

00:32:15.760 You go to some of these areas, the Rust Belt, go to Sandusky, Ohio, go to Western Pennsylvania,

00:32:21.600 go throughout Michigan, throughout Wisconsin.

00:32:24.380 It looked like they lost a war.

00:32:25.720 And in many ways, they kind of did.

00:32:27.240 In many ways, they kind of actually did lose a war.

00:32:30.380 And meanwhile, you have people on the coast.

00:32:32.220 Look, I've been there.

00:32:32.840 I've seen them been everywhere.

00:32:33.940 Right?

00:32:34.080 You got people on the coast living large.

00:32:36.200 Hey, let's go buy a bigger yacht.

00:32:37.880 Hey, let's go buy a bigger plane.

00:32:39.900 I mean, while you go to some of these other areas and you say, how do you even make it

00:32:44.040 down the street?

00:32:45.140 How do you live here every day?

00:32:46.820 How do you do this?

00:32:48.060 It's hard scrabble.

00:32:51.300 And it's done.

00:32:52.520 The free ride is absolutely over.

00:32:55.080 It's time for the American people to get a peace.

00:32:57.880 That is the point of the MAGA populist right.

00:33:01.200 That is the reason that we had a populist uprising in this country.

00:33:04.220 And if you want to come on board, if you want to come on board the movement, then please

00:33:07.080 do.

00:33:07.720 But also understand that this issue, the issue of trade and economics, just like the issue

00:33:13.920 of immigration to the MAGA movement, is foundational.

00:33:17.140 This is a foundational issue of the movement.

00:33:20.100 We are not changing it.

00:33:21.480 We are not negotiating it.

00:33:23.120 We are not backing down.

00:33:25.840 It's simple.

00:33:26.820 This is a foundational issue.

00:33:29.040 This ain't Jeb Bush up in here.

00:33:30.360 No, this is Donald Trump's movement.

00:33:33.880 Welcome to The Great Deal.

00:33:45.820 Jack is a great guy.

00:33:47.440 He's written a fantastic book.

00:33:49.060 Everybody's talking about it.

00:33:50.300 Go get it.

00:33:51.460 And he's been my friend right from the beginning of this whole beautiful event.

00:33:55.380 And we're going to turn it around and make our country great again.

00:33:58.580 Amen.

00:34:00.360 I believe that it's going to work.

00:34:04.040 And I know that what we were doing wasn't working.

00:34:07.080 Yes.

00:34:07.400 So I think we have to try this.

00:34:11.000 And I have a high confidence ratio.

00:34:13.760 It's going to work.

00:34:14.780 The good news is we have President Trump's previous term when everyone said none of this was going to work.

00:34:21.960 Oh, the China terrorists are going to do this. 0.51

00:34:23.780 They're going to cause inflation. 0.85

00:34:25.260 They didn't.

00:34:26.700 This is going to happen to working class. 1.00

00:34:29.680 It's going to be bad for working class Americans. 0.94

00:34:31.740 Well, guess what?

00:34:32.660 Working class Americans, the hourly workers did better than supervisory workers.

00:34:39.000 The bottom 50% of households, their net worth increased faster than the top 10% of households.

00:34:46.340 The top 10% of Americans own 88% of equities.

00:34:50.340 88% of the stock market.

00:34:52.800 The next 40% owns 12% of the stock market.

00:34:57.380 The bottom 50 has debt.

00:34:59.540 The golden age is on the other side.

00:35:03.620 The golden age is on the other side of the great deal.

00:35:06.240 Look, President Trump did tariffs in his first term, folks.

00:35:09.940 I want to welcome everyone in Human Events Daily, Real America's Voice, third hour of the Charlie Kirk Show, Salem Radio Network.

00:35:19.060 This is about restoring the American dream and actually kick-starting the golden age.

00:35:24.580 We call it the great deal.

00:35:27.020 Why do we call it the great deal?

00:35:28.040 Because it is a great deal.

00:35:30.520 Americans have been getting a bad deal.

00:35:32.460 The bottom 50% of Americans have been getting a bad deal.

00:35:35.960 I've been likening it to skipping leg day.

00:35:39.360 What happens when you ignore your foundation?

00:35:42.500 The foundation of a nation is its people.

00:35:47.060 And the foundation of those people are the working class and the middle class.

00:35:52.220 And the bottom half of the middle class and the entire working class have been absolutely forgotten in this country for a long, long time.

00:36:03.400 They've been getting the bad deal.

00:36:05.140 They've been getting the raw deal.

00:36:07.260 They've been getting the China deal.

00:36:09.060 And you saw what was happening when China was slowly taking control of our country.

00:36:13.340 It doesn't mean there's going to be like Chinese flags and Xi Jinping mascots running around town.

00:36:17.900 It means things that people, they're just going to slowly put you to sleep and then continue on the drip, drip, drip.

00:36:24.680 Get that new iPhone.

00:36:26.260 Get that new Samsung.

00:36:27.960 Get that new TV.

00:36:30.020 Get that new thing.

00:36:31.160 Yes, I know Samsung is Korean.

00:36:32.920 The point being is they want you as a consumer.

00:36:36.800 They want you in debt.

00:36:37.960 They want you buying the new thing.

00:36:39.140 Just take out a little more debt.

00:36:40.560 Take out a little more debt.

00:36:41.660 Who cares? 0.85

00:36:42.160 You're dead in the end. 0.99

00:36:42.820 We're all dead in the end. 0.99

00:36:43.520 Take out a little more debt.

00:36:44.940 Take out a little more debt.

00:36:45.860 Who cares? 0.99

00:36:46.660 You should die in debt. 1.00

00:36:47.940 Go ahead. 1.00

00:36:49.100 Consume, consume, consume, consume.

00:36:51.080 Consume.

00:36:51.920 Only consume content.

00:36:54.200 Only consume products.

00:36:56.520 Yes.

00:36:57.320 Yes, that's what you want.

00:36:58.880 That's what you need.

00:37:00.420 Is it?

00:37:01.940 Or could we perhaps actually aspire to be something else?

00:37:06.040 And I love, by the way, the left coming out for Wall Street because they've gone completely mask off.

00:37:10.360 So they were actually just tools of capital all along.

00:37:12.540 The whole, like, oh, we're against the oligarchs, throwing it at the millionaires and billionaires.

00:37:16.260 Yeah, it was just never.

00:37:17.900 They weren't actual populists to begin with.

00:37:20.920 The vast, vast majority of the left.

00:37:24.320 No, no.

00:37:25.640 No, no.

00:37:28.900 Because don't worry, Wall Street.

00:37:31.120 Don't worry.

00:37:32.240 It's for the common good.

00:37:34.080 It's for the common good.

00:37:36.400 And we understand that Pennsylvania workers are out there.

00:37:38.560 We understand that President Trump is out there.

00:37:41.420 So we had the Pennsylvania State Treasurer here on the program on Friday in Harrisburg.

00:37:47.040 And she told us this will revitalize manufacturing of the working class in this country when it comes to steel, when it comes to Appalachia, when it comes to Western Pennsylvania.

00:37:58.200 That's what this is about.

00:37:59.300 Why do you suppose that the Rust Belt is where it is?

00:38:06.460 Why is the Rust Belt located around the Great Lakes?

00:38:09.340 Hmm.

00:38:09.760 Let's think about this for a second.

00:38:11.480 Maybe it's because the production of this country used to be based on our manufacturing.

00:38:16.640 And our manufacturing base was built along the waterways of the Great Lakes, which then were later connected to the outside of the eastern Atlantic seaboard, through the Erie Canal, through the Mississippi River.

00:38:30.320 That's what it was all about.

00:38:32.540 But the Rust Belt was turned into the Rust Belt by policy, the same way that it was built into the manufacturing belt by policy.

00:38:40.580 That's why it existed in the first place.

00:38:43.380 It goes back to Benjamin Franklin.

00:38:45.340 When you control the waterways, you control power.

00:38:48.780 Why do you think President Trump is talking about the Panama Canal and talking about Greenland?

00:38:52.440 It's about waterways.

00:38:54.340 It's about sea power.

00:38:56.020 You don't have to be a naval officer to understand that.

00:38:58.860 Because MAGA, folks, it's not just a voting bloc.

00:39:01.600 When we say we want energy independence, the great deal, by the way, it's more than this.

00:39:05.160 It's energy independence.

00:39:06.520 It's no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on benefits, no tax on Social Security.

00:39:12.420 It's about deregulation.

00:39:13.880 It's about all of these things.

00:39:15.680 And when we say we want world peace, it's not just words.

00:39:19.940 That's why President Trump is holding the meetings that he's having now.

00:39:22.900 We want world peace.

00:39:24.020 We want to de-escalate these tensions and the forever wars, whether it be the Middle East, whether it be, you know, we do not support a strike on Iran.

00:39:32.740 That would blow up the entire peace process, by the way.

00:39:36.100 Absolutely blow it up.

00:39:37.720 We don't want that.

00:39:38.760 We want greatness for every single American.

00:39:42.740 And yes, that may come at some economic shock to other, to some.

00:39:47.760 My retirement account is down, but you know what?

00:39:49.580 I don't care because I'm all in.

00:39:52.260 I'm all in on the great deal.

00:39:54.080 And I know that the golden age is on the other side.
