This is what happens when the Fourth Turning meets 5th Generation Warfare. A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran, Jack Posobiec sits down with Kaelin Dore, who is now the Deputy Communications Director at the White House.
00:01:54.740And that's really what this podcast row today, this whole sort of behind the scenes access granting is for, because obviously there's been a huge level of engagement with new media.
00:02:07.980You yourself coming from new media, obviously understand how that works.
00:02:13.240I got to ask about Twitter, the social side, the digital side, because what you guys are doing, and look, the Biden White House, the Kamala team, all them, they had, obviously, accounts and they even had a TikTok and all the rest of it.
00:02:28.140It was the most cringe stuff I think I've ever seen in my life.
00:02:31.840So how do you understand how to actually use new media as opposed to, like, forcing memes all the time?
00:02:39.060I think a big part of it is that we all believe in what the president is doing, and we kind of have guardrails with which we operate.
00:02:47.740We're able to move quickly and fast and effectively in a way that typical administrations are very sterile in that, like, a video's got to go through 30 different approval chains.
00:03:00.540And the ethos of this is obviously America is back, and that's a very irreverent, unapologetic way of going about saying, you know, we're here.
00:03:11.240You either run with it or you run from it, right?
00:03:13.480And that's kind of how our ethos here in the digital shop has been.
00:03:17.340We're pushing the limits of everything, but we're not hyper-fixated on trends, if that makes sense.
00:03:24.040You know, brat summer was what it was for Kamala Harris, but it didn't communicate a message, right?
00:03:31.040And I think we've done a really good job of not just doing engagement for engagement's sake, but making sure that you're learning something, you're taking something away.
00:03:38.660Whether it's Tom Homan reciting a love poem to, you know, roses are red, violets are blue, come here illegally, we'll deport you.
00:03:46.380I think it's pretty clear what takeaway you're getting from that kind of thing.
00:03:50.320So we've found a way to marry it, but I think it starts with us all believing with what the president, you know, wants to espouse.
00:07:43.300But the people who embrace despair, it's like they want to see him fail because either they back the wrong horse in the primary or they don't like that he doesn't support a certain issue that's their pet issue or something like that.
00:08:00.540And so they're looking for ways to get at him and to snipe at him.
00:08:05.120Whereas you look at the overall trajectory of things.
00:08:07.160Look where we were just a couple of weeks ago in this country versus where we are now.
00:08:12.040And it's night and day from the previous administration.
00:08:14.900So that's why I always kind of tell people it's like, guys, step back for a second.
00:08:19.160Step back and understand that just because your specific thing isn't trending today doesn't mean that in a week from now, like, oh, my gosh, today we just rolled up MS-13 leaders and he just revoked.
00:08:32.140Jack, we rolled out an election integrity this week.
00:08:48.840I think that might be in the works because I love the idea of this is what they did with the.
00:08:52.740Well, I think to me, the model is Maine and that the governor of Maine saying we're not going to abide by your trans men in women's rights.
00:09:05.740You're going to lose all federal funding.
00:09:07.640That's the model because you can get states to hop to very quickly when you pull all that funding.
00:09:13.040And to put a finer point on some of the things you're talking about here, it's as you're thinking through and you're processing, like why they think this way.
00:09:19.680Because I think it's important understanding where we go over the next four years.
00:09:22.580Why do the opposite opponents of the president's agenda feel the way they do?
00:09:26.980And it comes from like this deep rooted insecurity, right?
00:09:30.620They have no idea what they're going to do once we figure out where all the fraud, waste and abuse is.
00:10:02.680And so you have a situation where, OK, here's so and so who works for the department of whatever, and their wife runs the NGO and the NGO gets funding from the same department and they live in the same house.
00:10:40.760It's like cool to find like fraud, waste and abuse.
00:10:43.320And I think that's ultimately going to be one of the biggest takeaways of our first 100 days, at least, is that we've just completely and totally changed the culture.
00:10:51.580Everyone, the entire cabinet goes home.
00:10:53.860They're filming these selfie videos all day that are like, hey, just got another 10 million dollars worth of, you know, transgender surgeries for no reason.
00:11:01.640We've been funding and you believe this is Becca stay.
00:11:07.580Like we're culturally we're reaching a turning point, for lack of a better phrase.
00:11:12.200And I think going forward and we love you, Charlie, but we're going to see things totally differently going forward.
00:11:20.400So, you know, these midterms are going to be really interesting because it's now in vogue to be conservative for maybe the first time that I can remember.
00:11:29.540It's at least in vogue to be a Trump supporter.
00:11:32.420I'm curious to hear what you think about that.
00:11:34.740Well, this is something that we identified.
00:11:36.380I think those of us who actually understood what was going on in 2024 during the election, we referred to these, just the whole special item this earlier in the week.
00:11:43.340And we referred to these as sort of like your people talk about low prop voters.
00:11:58.740We all know we've got friends like this and they're in, they're in the, you know, they listen to podcasts, but they listen to, you know, MMA podcasts, listen to sports.
00:12:09.800You know, they just have other interests.
00:12:11.860And America's an interesting place and there's lots of interesting things.
00:12:14.480And so what Trump was able to do by reaching out to new media and specifically reaching out to through the sports world and through other sort of male adjacent, but it's with a lot of female overlap as well.
00:12:26.600Well, they have no message for those people either.
00:12:28.160He was able to reach out and say, hey, I can represent you and I can bring you on board in politics.
00:12:35.160And this is something that we've seen.
00:12:38.720It's going to be interesting to see if the Republican Party can bring those people out to vote when Trump isn't on the ballot.
00:12:47.740But at the same time, you have to find ways to reach out to those people because Trump's brand right now is more popular than it's ever been.
00:13:02.760But it's going to take work to keep it together.
00:13:05.180Everybody thought Obama would keep his coalition together.
00:13:07.480It completely fell apart when he left.
00:13:09.780So that's going to be something that that's actually something I think about all the time is how do we keep this all going, keep the spirit going, keep the substance going.
00:13:18.360Look, the president's going to be here for four years.
00:13:20.000I think we all know Donald Trump's not going anywhere anytime soon.
00:13:23.360And so he'll be around, he'll certainly be around, but it's this idea that the worm has termed that in the popular culture, you have to be, you know, open to this.
00:13:34.400And you can't, I'm sorry, Disney wanted to have a Snow White who was running around and cursing out half the country.
00:14:14.040And I think that's why this is really, you know, taking hold.
00:14:17.860Kaelin Doerr, if people want to follow the White House, if they want to keep in touch with everything that's actually coming out of here, where should they go?
00:14:25.000We should follow the White House on all social platforms.
00:14:27.280You should follow everyone here today at Podcast Row.
00:14:30.380And we're going to keep doing this over and over and over.
00:14:32.640This is something we're going to make a theme.
00:14:34.280This is the single most transparent administration in U.S. history.
00:14:49.140Want to say thank you, of course, to the White House, to the press team for bringing us in today, for arranging these interviews, giving us a behind the scenes inside look to what's going on inside the White House.
00:15:00.800This is a testament to how the Trump administration is now reaching out to new media, to new audiences.
00:15:07.880And it's not about just us here about Human Events Daily, but everyone that we go out and touch as we share this information and tell the truth about what's going on behind the scenes of the White House here for you in the confines of the incredible People's House of the White House, really making it the People's House once more.
00:15:27.320Ladies and gentlemen, as always, you have my permission to lay ashore.
