00:00:30.000
This is what happens when the fourth turning meets fifth generation warfare.
00:00:40.720
A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran.
00:00:47.260
This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.
00:00:53.580
The only thing that's gone up actually is interest rates.
00:00:56.340
Because we have a federal reserve chairman that is playing politics.
00:01:01.920
Somebody that I've never been very fond of actually.
00:01:11.020
In Europe, as you know, they reduced them, I guess, seven times.
00:01:15.340
It looks like they're going to reduce them again and again and again.
00:01:40.820
Look, in the first four years, we had the greatest economy in the history of our country.
00:01:51.600
But I can't complain because we had the most successful administration economically in the history of our country.
00:01:58.080
I think we're going to do even better this time.
00:02:00.360
Because you will see that the numbers that we're taking in are astronomical.
00:02:05.460
We're taking in tremendous amounts of money with the tariffs.
00:02:11.640
And countries are having a hard time getting used to the fact that they can't do that to us anymore because we have a real president.
00:02:19.040
We have a president that understands what it's all about.
00:02:22.740
We had presidents that, in some cases, were smart, but they didn't understand business or they didn't like business or, you know, it wasn't like a priority.
00:02:32.740
And then you had, like, the last administration.
00:02:34.700
The only thing they were good at was cheating in elections.
00:02:40.420
I mean, worst administration in the history of our country.
00:02:52.180
So I think you're going to see some fantastic numbers where this all happens.
00:03:01.020
And if they don't want to make a deal, we'll make the deal for them because that's what's going to happen.
00:03:09.140
And I think I can say for Scott and the other people that are working on it that we're listening and we're going to be very fair to people.
00:03:22.780
But, you know, we're the one that really sets the deal and that's what we'll be doing.
00:03:41.440
President Menoni, what do you think of the fact that President Trump is responsible for Zelensky
00:03:50.160
And then, if you have talked about the spending of Italy, what are the limits of the mass you
00:03:54.620
have said that it will be in Italy, the percentual of the spending of the military?
00:03:58.320
We've talked about the limits of the mass you have in Italy, we've talked about the fact
00:04:02.040
that Italy is maintaining their goals, because it will arrive at the next level of the NATO
00:04:07.840
with the 2% that was already prevailed, that was written by the government before, because
00:04:13.180
we're a serious nation, but we haven't talked about how much this percentual is, even if
00:04:19.640
we're aware that the defense is a particularly important issue in this time.
00:04:24.680
For what about the war in Ukraine, I don't know what I think.
00:04:26.900
I think that there was an invasion and that the invasor, from that point of view, was Putin
00:04:36.320
and Russia, but it's not what, let's say, what we say today is the fact that we want to
00:04:41.660
work together and we're working to try to get in Ukraine a peace that can be right and
00:04:48.660
I think that these are the efforts that we share our work, and we share our work today
00:04:54.660
that sounded absolutely, that was so beautiful, what the hell was that, what did she say, please?
00:05:07.000
No, I mean, it sounded great, it was beautifully presented, but maybe I could hear what she said,
00:05:15.160
what she thinks about the fact that President Trump holds Zelensky responsible for the war
00:05:25.160
in Ukraine, and Prime Minister Maloney answered, well, actually, we have a
00:05:32.160
nothing will stand in our way, and our golden age has just begun.
00:05:40.160
Now it's time for everyone to understand what America First truly means.
00:06:09.160
All right, Jack Posobiec, here we are live, Washington, D.C. here.
00:06:16.020
Today is April 17th, 2025, Anno Domini, and we've got a lot going on today.
00:06:22.520
There's a ton of breaking news stories to get to.
00:06:26.060
Of course, President Trump meeting with Prime Minister Maloney there in the White House just
00:06:31.520
We also have the breaking news about the shooting, horrific shooting at FSU.
00:06:40.560
We're tracking that, and we're going to get the information to you as soon as possible.
00:06:45.080
Also down in Frisco, Texas, the stabbing case of Austin Metcalf.
00:06:51.380
Well, Carmelo Anthony's family has just held a press conference, and we'll be discussing
00:06:56.460
all of this and more here on Human Events Daily.

We have a very special guest, by the way, here in studio straight from Bucharest, Romania.
00:07:59.860
Now, we had him on the program last year when I was over in Bucharest with Tanya in Romania,
00:08:07.560
We've had him here on the program recently as well regarding the situation of the presidential
00:08:15.740
The election was overturned, and now a new election is taking place, and he is currently
00:08:30.900
A friend in need is a friend indeed, and I'm happy to have friends here in Washington,
00:08:41.960
Tell me about the situation that's going on in Romania.
00:08:45.660
We've been covering it from our perspective, but you are actually living it, and you've taken
00:08:51.120
the next step to actually declare your own candidacy, and the people seem to be really rallying behind
00:08:57.280
I'm replacing Mr. Georgescu, who was banned illegally against our constitutional, against the electoral
00:09:05.940
We'll have elections in two weeks' time, and we are winning.
00:09:09.680
So I'm here in Washington, D.C. to assure all the Romanian citizens that we will have fair
00:09:19.160
and free elections, and we will remain part of the free world.
00:09:22.340
The unelected bureaucrats from Brussels meddled with our elections.
00:09:29.360
They were the ones that canceled the elections, and they were the ones that threw away and banned
00:09:41.160
So I am here to restore democracy, and I am here among friends from the MAGA movement to
00:09:51.440
assure that all EU bureaucrats will lose big time all elections in the 27 states of European
00:10:04.420
We can see the polls you're currently leading, but what are the issues?
00:10:07.280
Why is it that they overturned the elections, something that's so undemocratic?
00:10:15.480
And I was in Munich, Germany, when our own Vice President, J.D. Vance, traveled there as
00:10:20.740
well, who told them to their faces that you cannot say you stand for democracy when you're
00:10:29.220
So Romania is standing up against the same cultural and political decay.
00:10:44.880
Because they do not like democracy, because they are tyrants, because if Colin Georgescu would
00:10:54.240
They do not want peace, they want war, they do not want life, and they are not pro-life.
00:11:05.060
This is the satanic ideology that is promoted across our beautiful nations.
00:11:13.120
And we will follow on the footsteps of Donald Trump, who is the leader of the free world.
00:11:21.860
She is currently now, as we speak, inside the White House.
00:11:27.840
So together with Georgia Meloni, with Slovakian Robert Fizzo, with other European leaders, with
00:11:36.880
Karol Nawrotzki, who will win the Polish elections, actually we have elections in Romania, in Poland,
00:11:42.100
in the same day, we will follow on the footsteps of MAGA and we will be MAGA, the victorious movement
00:11:52.100
across all the 27 countries, nations inside the European Union.
00:11:57.540
It's so true, because when we talk about the cause of humanity and the cause of life, this
00:12:03.880
is something where Romania has had to fight not very long ago for their own freedoms because
00:12:09.920
of the terrible history of the communist regime in Romania.
00:12:15.520
And it was the Romanian people themselves who rose up time and time again until eventually
00:12:21.160
they overthrew communism and took back their country from truly, and I believe it is,
00:12:27.540
satanic, this ideology and the things that were done in the name of equality and justice.
00:12:34.380
They always say it's done in the name of equality and justice.
00:12:41.100
What happened with the rule of law now when the Romanian people went out and voted somebody
00:12:46.640
who was not part of the establishment and part of the deep state?
00:12:53.380
We made big marches, demonstrations, tons of internal and external interviews.
00:13:01.100
And now it's time in two weeks that we will win in the first round and in the second round
00:13:06.140
on the 18th of May, when we will have a second round of elections in Romania and the elections
00:13:12.480
We will be on the eastern flank of NATO and of Europe, two presidents in Romania and Poland,
00:13:22.620
Georgi Simeon and Karol Navrotsky, that will stand for the MAGA ideology and with President Trump
00:13:36.300
He will manage to overthrow all the opponents here from the democratic neo-Marxist woke side.
00:13:45.960
And he will do this as a symbol also in Europe because it will be also the victory of Donald
00:13:52.380
Trump winning in the Romanian and Polish elections.
00:13:58.240
We're fighting those people because they want war.
00:14:07.880
And if you stand against it, if you say you are against them and if people even support
00:14:14.340
And you saw what happened here in Washington and here in America, I should say, where President
00:14:18.720
Trump faced not one but two assassination attempts.
00:14:25.760
We saw this only one second away and God saved him and God has a plan with him.
00:14:34.040
Now, across the free world, faith, family and rural traditions are under attack.
00:14:41.960
And we are a young, driven, anti-corruption movement that is shaking the system in Romania.
00:14:52.760
And we will win this battle and we will protect NATO as a defensive, and I stress as a defensive
00:15:04.800
And what better time to talk about rebellion and shaking off the chains of hell itself than
00:15:14.360
And for once, the Western Easter and Eastern Easter is the same.
00:15:33.640
Indeed, Jesus has resurrected from the death and has stepped over the symbol of Satan, of
00:16:04.200
Kilmar Abrego Garcia is an illegal alien, MS-13 gang member, and foreign terrorist who was
00:16:12.180
Abrego Garcia was also arrested with two other well-known members of the vicious MS-13 gang.
00:16:17.640
And two separate judges found that Abrego Garcia was a member of MS-13, and that finding
00:16:24.440
And just this morning, it was revealed through Maryland court documents that Abrego Garcia's
00:16:28.900
wife petitioned for an order of protection against him for two instances of domestic violence
00:16:39.620
He is an illegal alien from El Salvador with a deportation order from the United States.
00:16:52.440
And to have a senator from Maryland who didn't even acknowledge or barely acknowledge my daughter
00:17:02.700
and the brutal death that she endured, leaving her five children without a mother and now a
00:17:12.220
grandbaby without a grandmother, so that he can use my taxpayer money to fly to El Salvador
00:17:20.480
to bring back someone that's not even an American citizen.
00:17:25.680
You said that you were going to make a relationship with President Xi.
00:17:28.000
Why not pick up the phone and call him and make a deal?
00:17:33.360
I think we're going to make a very good deal with China.
00:17:35.660
That's diplomatic envoy Steve Witkoff is in Russia with hopes of reaching a peace deal
00:17:42.360
And then Witkoff jumps over to Oman tomorrow to talk about Iran's nuclear program.
00:17:51.320
I want to welcome in the Salem Radio Network on hour three of the Charlie Kirk Show and his
00:17:59.360
Folks, I want you to pay close attention because they're not talking about this on the news.
00:18:04.800
In the last 30 days alone, 145 bank branches, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and Chase included
00:18:18.400
Could these bank closures lead to bank failures?
00:18:21.340
Imagine you go down to your bank and it's closed.
00:18:23.940
If that doesn't feel like deja vu from 2008, I don't know what does.
00:18:28.860
We've seen this movie before and it doesn't end well for people who wait too long to act.
00:18:34.180
Many lost a lot of their hard-earned savings and some never recovered at all.
00:18:40.280
That's exactly why I partnered with Allegiance Gold.

00:19:36.080
Just a couple of minutes to mention this incredible story that broke in the New York
00:19:49.420
But I've got some of my own reporting that I can confirm on this at all as well regarding
00:19:55.720
potential strikes on the nuclear facilities of Iran.
00:20:00.720
And President Trump was getting a lot of pressure from outside to unilaterally begin strikes on
00:20:09.600
Iran, specifically using the bombers of Diego Garcia, where they're currently located there
00:20:15.280
in the Indian Ocean, to fly up and use the refueling to be able to drop 30,000-pound
00:20:21.320
bunker-busting bombs on Iran's underground nuclear facilities.
00:20:25.380
Now, what I believe is actually going on is that President Trump has embarked on a grand
00:20:30.840
He understands that the Iranians, or he wants that the Iranians, they're not just going
00:20:39.720
Part of that leverage is potentially the threat of strikes.
00:20:43.920
But the other part is working directly with them in negotiations with Whitcoff.
00:20:48.640
Whitcoff is going to be meeting with them in Rome this weekend after having met with
00:20:54.240
He's also putting on pressure, back-channeling through who?
00:21:02.480
They're the ones who built their nuclear reactor in the first place.
00:21:08.260
But understand, there are patriots inside the Trump administration that are being targeted
00:21:18.800
Because they don't understand MAGA world peace.
00:21:22.480
They don't understand that this movement stands for peace around the world.
00:21:27.620
We are going to get it, whether you like it or not.
00:22:00.620
We're always talking about the fake news and the bad, but we have guys, and these are the
00:22:32.460
To say to this paralyzed man, their sins are forgiven?
00:22:36.620
Or to say, stand up, take your stretcher, and walk home?
00:22:44.380
I want you to know, the Son of Man has authority on Earth to forgive sins.
00:22:53.400
Now stand up, take your stretcher, and walk home.
00:23:08.280
Jack Posobiec, what you just saw or heard was the clip.
00:23:14.780
A couple of clips from the great new film, The King of Kings.
00:23:19.500
Now this is, I mean, it's the passion of the Christ for children.
00:23:23.640
This is a way to really expand the Easter season into just everyone.
00:23:33.760
You know, we were just talking in the last segment here with the Romanian presidential candidate.
00:23:38.260
Now, of course, Romania is an Eastern Orthodox country.
00:23:41.620
And so for the ortho bros out there, I always say that, you know, the Orthodox Easter is actually generally on a different date than on Western Christianity's Easter.
00:23:52.220
However, this year, coincidentally, or perhaps not a coincidence, they're actually one and the same for the first time in a long time.
00:24:01.520
And so, folks, folks who don't know, my wife, Tanya Tay, is also Orthodox.
00:24:07.500
And so, you know, I always joke we're mending the schism a little bit.
00:24:14.280
And this movie coming out at a time where we are in the culture is really an incredible moment.
00:24:21.360
We talked about how Snow White was this massive debacle for Disney because woke is a joke now.
00:24:38.500
Between the chosen and now this King of Kings at the box office, we had to get Angel Studios back on.
00:24:45.920
And that's why we've got Jeffrey Harmon, the co-founder of Angel Studios, right here with us.
00:24:51.300
Jeffrey, congratulations, by the way, on all the success, King of Kings, and just everything else you guys have going on.
00:25:01.900
So you have to tell me that, you know, going into this when you said, you know, an animated Jesus film,
00:25:10.220
What was it that made you think this was the right time to go all in the way that you did?
00:25:16.340
We just have a totally different system than Hulk.
00:25:20.680
There was a recent article by Film Threat where they talked about how Angel Studios is doing something audaciously, radically different.
00:25:31.480
And what they mean by that is we have what we call the Angel Guild.
00:25:34.800
It's a million people, over a million people, that have come together as a community, and they're all guild members,
00:25:41.300
and they vote on all the movies that come into Angel Studios.
00:25:45.220
So I can't, as a co-founder, take a movie into Angel Studios unless it passes the Angel Guild.
00:25:50.220
Well, King of Kings has one of the highest scores we've ever seen in the Angel Guild.
00:25:54.800
And so we said, this movie has got everything it needs.
00:26:00.860
We're going to go all in on King of Kings for Easter, and it has proven out.
00:26:06.720
This is one of the highest audience-scored movies in history.
00:26:10.620
It's got an A-plus cinema score, which only five animated films outside of Pixar have ever done.
00:26:26.820
It just passed Prince of Egypt's record for the highest box office opening of any biblical animated film ever.
00:26:42.140
This movie is, like you said, it's passion of the Christ for kids.
00:26:46.140
I took my four-year-old to it, and he watched the entire thing,
00:26:49.640
and he was asking questions about the gospel that made me realize I'm not a great teacher
00:26:54.100
because I thought I'd taught him these things before.
00:27:00.260
I've got a four-year-old and a six-year-old as well, and that's part of it.
00:27:06.620
There's always going to be a lot of questions, but what you're saying is it's engaging, right?
00:27:12.200
He's working through it, and that's a perfect way.
00:27:14.900
Because, look, sometimes when you go to church service, we're sitting there, and we're reading,
00:27:21.160
and you've got a scripture reading, and you've got the sermon, you've got the homily,
00:27:26.260
There are a lot of questions that get raised, and by the way, this is what Christ teaches us.
00:27:31.760
He says, be like a child to enter the kingdom, and so that's exactly what he wants.
00:27:38.540
And this film, it's based on Charles Dickens' book that was published 65 years after Charles Dickens' death
00:27:46.260
that he read to his kids every year, and Charles Dickens wrote this book as a love letter to his children,
00:27:52.320
and so Charles Dickens is in the movie telling this book's story to his own son with his wife,
00:27:58.780
and Charles is played by Patrick Brahe, and Uma Thurman plays his wife,
00:28:05.760
It's got Pierce Brosnan, Oscar Isaac plays Jesus, Forrest Whitaker from Rogue One plays in it,
00:28:12.060
James Arnold Taylor, the voice of Obi-Wan Kenobi.
00:28:15.680
It's funny because there's a whole bunch of Star Wars names.
00:28:18.200
Jim Cummings, who plays in Star Wars, also plays Weenie the Pooh.
00:28:24.260
Jim Cummings is a legend in the voice acting community.
00:28:29.060
It's got Dee Bradley Baker from Clone Troopers.
00:28:34.720
Anyway, there is a, it turns out the filmmaker Jay, he's a guy from, this director is from South Korea,
00:28:42.960
and he makes a lot of movies, and he's a legend in South Korea,
00:28:46.480
and he decided 10 years ago he was going to make this movie,
00:28:50.400
and he pulled together the Star Wars cast because he loves Star Wars to the point that he actually named
00:28:56.480
one of his daughters, Princess Leia, and so he pulled together, it's like a Star Wars reunion
00:29:01.640
on this film of all these major characters, and film threat, or not film threat,
00:29:07.580
there's a, there's a, there's a blog post I read just the other day that went through,
00:29:11.460
and was like, I'm just in love with this because you have another epic movie,
00:29:16.060
And, um, well, so I gotta ask you, I gotta ask, I'll bring it up,
00:29:20.300
because I, I get, whenever I talk about King of Kings, people say, especially my audience,
00:29:24.260
you know, I've got, we've got a lot of MAGA people in the audience,
00:29:26.340
they say, all right, Mark Hamill, right, because this guy, he's not very MAGA friendly,
00:29:31.040
he's pretty antagonistic towards, towards the MAGA side, so where, where does he come in in all this?
00:29:36.660
Yeah, so Mark Hamill plays King Herod, which I've seen a lot of comments say,
00:29:41.740
oh, that seems appropriate from people who are on the other political side of the spectrum,
00:29:45.500
but Mark Hamill's actually been out posting about this movie, and he's proud of it.
00:29:49.560
Mark Hamill's a very talented voice actor, and we're a merit-based company,
00:29:54.500
so when you go in the Angel Guild, you actually don't get to see who the names of the producers were,
00:30:00.020
or anything, you just vote on the storyline of the movie.
00:30:04.580
So as a guild member, when you go in and you vote, you don't get to see if Steven Spielberg made it,
00:30:09.420
you don't get to see who the director was, you just vote on the story.
00:30:13.120
And what the, what the guild voted on is that this story is biblically accurate,
00:30:17.180
and they went and got the best voice talent they could possibly find,
00:30:21.140
and that happens to have Mark Hamill as one of the voices, who lent his voice as King Herod.
00:30:27.500
But if you look at the reviews, you'll see that people are saying,
00:30:31.200
this is the most biblically accurate animated biblical show of all time.
00:30:35.300
Look, and that's what people want, you know, you want to, you want to be able to just
00:30:39.920
take the politics out of it for once, and say, you know what, it's about getting this story
00:30:45.480
in front of children, and as a way, not just getting in front of the kids,
00:30:50.520
you start that, you start that buzz, you start that good word of mouth.
00:30:53.640
And by the way, there is really great word of mouth for telling us.
00:30:58.760
Mark Hamill gets a lot of heat from the right for being in this movie,
00:31:02.900
or the movie gets some heat, but when he went and posted on,
00:31:05.880
I think it's called Blue Sky or Blue Ski, I don't know how to say the name of that,
00:31:11.080
I don't know, because I don't think anyone really uses it.
00:31:13.620
He got eaten alive by his own followers saying, why are you in a Jesus movie?
00:31:18.860
And so he's losing, like, you have to hand it to him for coming out and saying,
00:31:37.960
Even if you completely disagree with his politics, right?
00:31:40.420
Yeah, look, you know, and this is what it is, right?
00:31:42.860
You know, we all grew up, you know, kind of watching Star Wars, loving Star Wars.
00:31:46.420
He also played the Joker famously as a voice actor
00:31:49.500
in the original Batman animated series in the 1990s,
00:31:56.500
So I don't think there's anything you can say about, you know, certainly about his talents.
00:32:00.620
But when it comes down to it, what I was saying is,
00:32:02.880
the word of mouth around this movie, it isn't even about the cast.
00:32:17.540
and I know this because the members of my family
00:32:19.700
that are, like, you know, kind of more in the normie camp,
00:32:22.600
they're just, you know, they're the cousins, the aunts, the uncles,
00:32:28.060
We plan to go see it this weekend, full disclosure.
00:32:30.440
Haven't seen it yet, but we're going to go get everyone together
00:32:33.220
and maybe do, like, a little video of, you know,
00:32:35.260
sort of our review and our experience going to see King of Kings.
00:32:45.880
that Angel Guild is actually offering two free tickets to King of Kings.
00:32:56.820
you get two free movie tickets to the King of Kings.
00:33:01.080
become a premium member, and you'll get two free movie tickets.
00:33:03.820
And on top of that, you get a vote on all future movies.
00:33:06.240
So if you were a member of the Angel Guild just a few months ago,
00:33:08.960
then you were able to vote on this movie, King of Kings.
00:33:18.380
You get to pick all the movies that come into this community.
00:33:21.500
So when you join the community, you have a voice,
00:33:24.340
and I can't take a movie unless you vote for it.
00:33:26.600
Then your membership helps pay for future movies
00:33:34.600
Here's something I think is really interesting.
00:33:41.640
And we say when they're watching too much screen time,
00:34:00.360
who are living on the other side of the screen.
00:34:03.640
Last year, they gave 51,000 plus comments to filmmakers,
00:34:12.280
We had a movie that just recently got announced
00:34:47.820
And he's been my friend right from the beginning
