The Pozo Daily Brief.
This is what happens when the fourth turning meets fifth generation warfare.
A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran.
This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.
This morning ahead of his criminal hush money trial, former President Trump is under a new gag order prohibited from making public statements about witnesses, court staff, and jurors in the case concerning his alleged payment to porn actress Stormy Daniels.
The gag order still allows Trump to criticize the judge and district attorney Donald Trump's media company enjoyed a stellar stock market debut on Tuesday.
Shares in Trump Media & Technology Group soared as much as 59% in New York trade.
By day's end, the firm behind the Truth Social Network was valued at close to $8 billion.
Our chairman of the NBC Universal News Group, Cesar Conde, who we both know very well, he sent a memo that we all got rescinding the hiring of Ronna Romney McDaniel.
And I know I felt very strongly about it.
I know you felt very strongly about it.
And I just have to say, when somebody does the right thing, I feel like it should be acknowledged as publicly as we acknowledge our outrage.
And so I know how I feel about it.
I am grateful to Cesar for actually making the right decision.
I think it was the right decision.
Well, a former Nickelodeon producer is speaking out after accusations of inappropriate and abusive behavior surfaced in a new docu-series.
Dan Schneider was the man behind popular children's shows such as The Amanda Show, Victorious, and Drake & Josh.
In a new docu-series titled Quiet on the Set, former child stars and production members accuse Schneider of fostering a toxic workplace, Schneider said in an interview.
It was very difficult to watch the series, which aired this week, and he apologized for his behavior.
He's faced criticism in the past, though, for including sexually suggestive jokes in his shows meant for children.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily Live from Washington, D.C.
Today is March 27th, 2024.
Anno Domini.
The Nickelodeon pedophile rings.
Yes, the Nickelodeon pedophile rings.
And so this new documentary that's come out, Quiet on Set, and a lot of really just information that's been floating around.
It's been on Twitter.
I've reported this many times.
Now it's starting to get more information.
It's been revealed now that Nickelodeon itself employed at least five men who were knowingly convicted of child sex abuse.
Why would Nickelodeon employ people who had been already convicted of child sex abuse?
You can't find somebody else on the set?
Why would SAG-AFTRA The union in Hollywood allow people to continue to be members if you had committed child sex abuse.
God forbid you say something politically incorrect.
God forbid you say something about race or gender or sexuality.
But pedophilia, apparently, in Hollywood and Nickelodeon, perfectly fine.
They're giving us morsels.
And at the end of the day, it's very clear.
These people are being protected.
Why are none of these people currently in jail?
Everyone who's involved with the Nickelodeon pedophile scandal should be behind bars.
At best.
At best.
This guy Dan Schneider?
Insane.
Completely insane.
Where are the people coming forward on him?
Victoria Justice, Jamie Lynn Spears, Ariana Grande.
Now look, they're victims.
They are victims, and it's very clear.
But we need people to come forward, to have the courage to come forward, speak out.
Ariana Grande.
She's one of the biggest stars in the world right now.
Come out and tell the truth.
Come out and tell the truth about what's going on with these powerful pedophile networks, which we now know are rampant in the United States.
We've known this for a long time.
Sound of Freedom was just the tip of the iceberg, folks.
And yet you don't see the government going after any of this.
You don't see anyone in the government, the FBI, no raids.
No investigations.
No, they're going after Donald Trump.
They'll go after Trump.
They'll go after the MAGA movement.
They'll go after the old ladies who were walking around on January 6th in the Capitol, going beyond the velvet rope.
But when it comes to pedophiles that were targeting some of the most beloved child actors and actresses in the 1990s and 2000s, Nickelodeon.
Look, if you're of that age, and I was born in 84, so, you know, we all watched those shows.
We all watched those shows growing up.
Now the question is, what was going on behind the scenes, quiet on set, while the cameras went off?
This is starting to bust wide open.
We're going to have Evita Duffy on later in the show to break this down some more.
Darren Beattie joins us next.

Washington, D.C.
Folks, there's a lot to be nervous about there.
Open up social media or turn on the news and all you see is crime, societal decay.
A lot of people just run out, buy a gun, and then it sits in a safe.

Darren Beattie is our guest from Revolver News.
And Darren, if I understand correctly, you guys have breaking news to share with us.
I know you have your report on the pipe bomber, but I like to give precedence to the breaking news.
What do you have to share with us that is just out in the last 10 minutes?
Indeed, fresh off the press, we have a major piece concerning the 2024 election.
And long story short, we think J.D.
Vance would be the best pick for Trump on his ticket.
And we lay out the reasons why in this fresh new piece.
And the title is Trump's secret weapon, the genius of choosing Senator J.D.
Vance as VP.
And we understand it's Very much down to the wire now, and while obviously we'll support Trump vigorously no matter what happens, as long as it's not Nikki Haley, which it won't be, we think J.D.
would be the best choice in the broader scheme of the election, and also for the future of the historic movement that Trump's candidacy in 2016 helped to inaugurate.
All right, so why J.D.
Vance?
Well, a number of things.
When you look for a VP, you want two things.
Basically, you want someone who is going to be advantageous during the campaign, and you want somebody who, in the event that they have to become president, could do so effectively.
And of course, I guess the third thing, which is a key issue and key strength, I think, for JG, is someone who fulfills a legacy role, someone to pass the torch to.
And so we can start those in serial, you know, with with Mike Pence.
He actually, as much as I hate to say it, because he does suck majorly, and he always has, frankly, but he made a lot of sense in the context of the 2016 campaign.
He helped to reassure a certain segment of voters and his job was basically to be the boring guy who is basically not Trump.
And that worked.
There are very different considerations at work here.
What we need is not the boring guy who's the moderate.
We need the effective anti-establishment guy who reassures Trump's strengths.
Because like it or not, it's very likely that Trump's going to be tied up in these legal proceedings and this or that.
And so if Trump's bandwidth is diminished by whatever tricks that the regime has up its sleeve, We can't afford to have a Mike Pence type.
We need a guy who's aligned with the Trump movement, who can carry it forward, who can go before an audience and make the same kind of strong case that Trump is capable of making.
And so that's one of the chief reasons J.D.
will be very powerful.
Trump doesn't need to look at geographic diversity or any of this stuff.
People know who Trump is already.
It's simply an issue of Igniting enthusiasm for Trump.
And the way you do that is the narrative.
Trump's narrative is extremely compelling.
J.D.' 's narrative has been compelling from the very beginning.
And people may not know that, but his narrative, starting with Hillbilly Elegy, his biography recapitulates the logic behind why the Trump phenomenon was so popular in 2016.
And so that's one of the other reasons he's a perfect fit for this role.
And then the third reason, in terms of legacy, Trump's lived 10 lifetimes at least and accomplished so much in each of these 10 lifetimes.
It's really hard to fully fathom how much he's done within his life, of course, capstoning with the presidency.
The one thing remaining, though, even for someone as accomplished as Trump, it's not going to be complete unless he shores up his legacy, unless he is able to pass the torch to a next generation to continue and improve upon the MAGA movement.
And among the viable VP candidates, JD is overwhelmingly the best choice for this.
And of course, on policy issues, he's already established himself as a leader in the Senate on foreign policy on Ukraine.
He's indicated that Well, he's an anti-establishment candidate.
He can navigate the nuances of politics.
And I think he's done this very well on the abortion issue, which is going to be a major thing this election.
So long story short, all things said and done, J.D.
is absolutely the best choice for VP.
And we really hope that that's the direction that Trump chooses to go in.
Well, as you mentioned, even though it is not one of your prerequisites, the geography, he actually is a good geographical pick because, as you say, the legacy of Hillbilly Elegy and essentially this this Appalachia slash Rust Belt background that he sits in.
Look, if Trump's going to win, he's going to need one of the three Rust Belt states.
So that's either Pennsylvania, Michigan, or Wisconsin.
Now, Ohio, of course, geographically sits right at the heart of all three of those states, although because of its unique demographics, because it doesn't have the Acella Corridor like Pennsylvania does, which is where, of course, I'm from, that Ohio never really had the issues that Pennsylvania and the other states that Ohio never really had the issues that Pennsylvania and the Ohio is solidly MAGA country, which is interesting, by the way, because for candidates other than Donald Trump, Ohio is not a reliably Republican state.
This is largely due to demographics and largely due to the working class base.
And so with JD Vance, you would have someone who can go to Michigan, who can go to Wisconsin, who could go to Western Pennsylvania and talk to the people there.
Of course, you know, obviously right across the, right across the river from Youngstown in Ohio, we could easily walk over to Pittsburgh and speak the same language because this really has been Absolutely.
No, it's in perfect complementarity and consonance with the underlying logic behind the Trump phenomenon, not even just the Trump candidacy, but the Trump phenomenon that has irrevocably
reshaped our political landscape to the chagrin of the establishment elements that, despite their disappointment, have largely accommodated this reality.
For the most part, you see the nefarious elements on the right not maintain a never-Trump stance, but instead try to reformulate and repackage their poison in the veneer of Trumpism, which is very dangerous, but that in itself is a concession to the enduring impact that Trump has had on American politics.
And it also underscores the reason why we really need someone like JD who embodies the transformation and doesn't just kind of superficially pose as it for short term political gain.
And I will say, you know, I'm so glad that Nikki Haley is out of the running.
And I'd like to thank the Swamp Consultants Who convinced her to go against Trump the way that she did, because I think if she had been a little bit smarter, she actually would have been seriously in the running.
But her swamp consultants, despite themselves, perhaps inadvertently, talked her into a position where there's not going to be a Haley on the ticket.
I'd like to thank these consultants for their greed, which had the unintended effect of excluding Nikki Haley from the ticket.
Absolutely.
Well now, here comes a practical question, and this has come up whenever I've had this discussion as well.
J.D.
Vance becoming VP, that essentially loses you a seat, or I should say it opens up a seat in Ohio.
That seat would then be selected by Mike DeWine.
Who, in your view, would be a good senator for Ohio then?
I don't have an opinion on that.
I'd have to look into it.
That's certainly an element that we want to shore up, and I would imagine there's no... Well, the name I threw out, actually, because if you're talking about Ohio, a native son of Ohio and current resident of Ohio, Vivek Ramaswamy.
Kind of interesting.
Hey, there you go!
I didn't even think of that, but absolutely, that fits perfectly.
And the things that I said about JD, they apply to Vivek as well.
He's someone who's not going away.
He's also in his 30s.
He's phenomenally talented.
He clearly understands the essence of NAGA and the America First movement.
And we haven't seen the last of him, or at least I certainly hope not, and I don't think we have.
I think that's a very interesting option.
I also certainly wouldn't mind seeing Vivek in a very important cabinet role in the second Trump administration either.
So we'll see which one works out.
But it's very clean that way to have Vivek in the Senate.
So another kind of fortuitous aspect of the JD for VP slot.
All right, that was the one.
I mentioned that the other day when we were down at Mar-a-Lago for an event.
And you know, the question, of course, has become the biggest sort of parlor conversation in the entire country.
Who will he pick?
And then following that, J.D.
obviously beckons the question.
Vivek Ramaswamy sitting right there.
Potential, potential senator, but there's plenty of other congressmen as well.
The only question, of course, would Mike DeWine nominate him?
Because Mike DeWine Not exactly a Trump-y governor.
Stay tuned, we'll be right back.
Darren Beattie with Auburn News.
So they talk about influences.
These are influences and they're friends of mine.

Darren Beattie is our guest.
Darren.
Now, you also have a new piece up at Revolver regarding the Pipe Bomber situation and specifically an individual who was instrumental in the, I guess we should say, lack of early response regarding the Pipe Bomb.
What have you uncovered?
Absolutely.
This is a major breakthrough in the Pipe Bomb saga and really the whole J6 Fedsurrection saga.
We are very deep into the endgame now.
The final season, as it were, The last time I was on talking about this, you'll recall that scandalous video depicting the discovery of the DNC pipe bomb.
One thing that stood out to everyone watching was a plainclothes officer informed Secret Service about the bomb, and they're not worried about it at all.
It takes them two minutes to even get out of their vehicle.
Whereupon they just stand around lackadaisically and even allow a group of school children to walk right in front of the bomb.
It's clear that they knew that the bomb posed no threat, but the question is why?
How would they have known that?
And the suspicions there are compounded by the fact that then VP-elect Kamala Harris was in the DNC building and has, for whatever reason, vigorously covered that fact up, despite what you would think, that she would be playing it up.
You would think that would be the biggest J6 talking point, but it's the most carefully guarded secret.
Now, fast forward to a closed door meeting within the halls of Congress.
Certain congressional officials, staffers, and whatnot, wanted to pose some questions that obviously would arise when watching this surveillance video in question.
And one of the Capitol Police officers at the scene was there, along with a senior Capitol Police officer, Ashton Benedict.
They were asked, how do you explain the fact that you're alerted to a bomb and you're standing around doing nothing and you even let kids walk by it?
And then you go through the spectacle of having a bomb safe robot defuse it.
And the answer that this individual gave, who is currently the head of Dignitary Protection and Intelligence at the Capitol Police, he said, we didn't do that so as not to cause panic.
Let me say that again.
So just at the surface level, the fact that someone with this approach and attitude would presently be in charge of protecting the lives of congressmen should be a national scandal in its own right.
because they didn't want to cause .
So just at the surface level, the fact that someone with this approach and attitude would presently be in charge of protecting the lives of congressmen should be a national scandal in its own right.
But add to that the fact that we know this person is the key candidate for being one of the main cover-up men in the J6 pipe bomb hoax.
The role of the ATF, which has not been really adequately explored up to this point, the ATF was actually the major first response unit to the pipe bomb.
This guy was a special agent in charge of the ATF, who was the incident commander for the pipe bomb response.
The ATF also, we've learned from judicial watch documents, brought in the CIA whose bomb sniffing dogs were involved.
And in all likelihood, were the dogs that managed to miss the pipe bomb at the DNC in the first place.
So it's a really interesting thing of this closed door meeting that I was ready to.
Well, and of course, by the way, of course, the dogs would miss it if there wasn't anything for them to smell because there weren't any explosives.
But I digress.
It Exactly.
And it was just a fortuitous thing that Judicial Watch's FOIA request of the ATF, which is not even related to the pipe bomb, happened to turn up this guy, Ashen Benedict's name, as one of the only unredacted names.
And in the text chain, we see confirmed that the ATF was the major organization responsible for the response to this pipe bomb.
And based on that text exchange, we caught Ashen Benedict in multiple lies or at least apparent deceptive practices when we combine that from what we hear transpired within this closed door meeting in relation to the response of the we caught Ashen Benedict in multiple lies or at least apparent deceptive So we have a prime suspect for the cover-up man, the mop-up man for the J6 pipe bomb hoax.
And it is none other than Ashen Benedict, who is a...
His career trajectory is also bizarre.
He was an 18 year veteran, actually, or over two decade veteran of ATF.
Incidentally, he was responsible for cleaning up the debris at the Pentagon after 9/11.
Like he has a very interesting career history.
And after J6, when I mentioned he was the incident commander as part of the ATF, he then goes on, Mayor Bowser of DC puts him as head of the D.C.
Metro Police, and then he moves on to head of Intelligence and Dignitary Protection of Capitol Police.
It's as though he's carefully positioned in every institution that played a role in the first response to the pipe bomb.
So it's very rare these days when you have people willing to put out a name there.
I'm putting out a name.
It's Ashton Benedict.
with the authority to gatekeep congressional access to the first response officials who are depicted in that explosive DNC surveillance video.
So it's very rare these days when you have people willing to put out a name there.
I'm putting out a name, it's Ashen Benedict.
He's the head of Capitol Police Dignitary Protection and Intelligence.
The head of protection who, by the way, thinks it makes sense to not do anything about a bomb because you don't want to cause panic so you let kids walk by.
Again, that alone should be the national scandal.
But the biggest scandal is his role in covering up the truth about the J6 pipe bomb hoax.
It's a major story.
I'm rushing through it because I unfortunately have a hard stop.
The piece is available in full at revolver.news right now.
This is shaping up to be the biggest story, I think, in the country.
It's the resolution of the pipe bomb hoax, which is fastly approaching.
We have a name.
We're in the endgame.
Revolver.news.
Read it and share it.
Now is the time to amp the pressure up to 11.
Revolver.News, doing the yeoman's work.
Darren Beatty, thank you so much for everything you're doing and hopefully we'll see what comes of the JD Vance announcement on your side.
Take care, sir.
Thank you.
Alright, everyone needs to go and check this out because it's very clear, okay?
And we're working on this, actually Joshua Lysak and myself are working on this for the new book for Unhumans, that one thing we write about time and time again is that our institutions are fundamentally, fundamentally, Turned against us and fundamentally opposed to us in many ways.
But one of the things that we need to understand is that conservatives still don't get it in many ways.
They still don't get that we are one or possibly even two generations behind in terms of the institutional takeover, the institutional infiltration, the Long March as it were.
And so places like the FBI, places like the DOJ, places like the ATF, It's not that, you know, people say, oh, the rank-and-file, the rank-and-file versus, you know, the suits versus the boots.
The issue is the incentive structure.
The incentive structure there is set up in such a way where if you are going to be promoted, if you're going to be put on a leadership track, if you're going to be put into a position of authority, then they are looking for people who are loyal.
They are looking for people who are loyal to the regime.
They are looking for people who are loyal to the revolution, loyal to the struggle.
You see this in Washington, D.C.
I certainly saw this when I was in the intelligence community myself.
And so, the reason they put loyalty above competence is very simple.
Because, and by the way, I'm not saying loyalty to the Constitution, or the country, or the United States of America, these types of things.
No, no, no, no, no.
This is loyalty to political correctness, loyalty to wokeness, loyalty to Biden and Hillary Clinton.
This is why, by the way, that all of Russiagate could go on and you never have any sit down meeting or meeting notes or email or minutes where John Brennan is telling James Comey, OK, this is what's going to happen.
And they go to Clapper and, you know, walk you through it.
Everyone sort of understands what their role is to be.
That they are going to lie about Trump and they were conducting this small group meeting off campus.
It's very clear.
And so when we put this into the book, we explained that in order to upend this, you need to create a new incentive structure, a new incentive structure, whereby in number one, it is merit based.
That's clear.
It's merit based, but also that if you run afoul of Merit.
If you run afoul of excellence, if you are incompetent, if you are not good at your job, or if you are still loyal to this previous revolutionary regime, then you're out.
You're gone.
You will not be welcome here any longer.
You are completely persona non grata.
Here's why.
Because those people are not redeemable.
They're not redeemable.
No, I'm not talking about in a moral sense or a theological sense or a spiritual sense.
It is Holy Week after all.
I'm talking about in terms of government.
Those people cannot be allowed in positions of power ever again.
It's as simple as that.
They can leave.
They can go.
I don't know.
Start an OnlyFans, FBI agents.
Start an OnlyFans, you know, for all you guys over at DHS.
I don't care.
But at the end of the day, you need to be out of government, you need to be out of public life, you need to be out of public work, because we need a country and a government that is set up to represent the people of this country, not the special interests and not the revolution.
That's why UnHuman matters.
That's why you need to get this book.
Make sure you pre-order it right now.
You're right up next with Evita Duffy going back to the Nickelodeon scandal and everything that has been revealed.
Stay tuned.
Where's Jack?
Where's Jack?
Where is he?
Jack, I want to see you!
Great job, Jack.
Thank you.
What a job you do.
You know, we have an incredible thing.
We're always talking about the fake news and the bad, but we have guys, and these are the guys who should be getting policies.
Alright, Jack Posobiec back live here, Human Events Daily.
We're doing a special report now on this Nickelodeon scandal, the pedophile rings, the idea that these people who were convicted of child sex crimes were allowed to be hired back by Nickelodeon to participate in SAG-AFTRA and to have access to so many of these stars, these young child stars, many of whom have gone on to become stars in their own right.
Ariana Grande, Victoria Justice, Damielyn Spears at one point was involved in these shows.
Evita Duffy Alfonso joins us now.
Evita, what are we to make of this story coming out now and the new documentary Quiet on Set?
The documentary is horrifying and captivating at the same time.
If you got a thick skin, I recommend watching it.
I saw the whole thing.
It was so disturbing to see how you You had repeat offenders moving around different studios.
There was one man who actually was at Nickelodeon.
He had some really serious sex offenses and then went off to Disney and was hired on the Suite Life of Zack and Cody.
So they're all over the place.
You have these kids being exploited.
And what I thought was really important that the documentary did is it talked about not just the exploitation and abuse that was happening behind the scenes, but also the on-camera abuse that you were seeing.
There's these videos of Ariana Grande on Victorious, which is a Nickelodeon show that she was on in the mid-2000s, and it was so overly sexualized, so many sexual innuendos.
This is, first of all, supposed to be a show for kids, and the actress is herself a minor.
I mean, that anybody thought this was appropriate or remotely normal is beyond me, and I am so grateful to my parents for saying, you know what, you're not going to watch these These teen sitcom shows, which clearly were being produced by nefarious adults.
And so these individuals, Dan Schneider and others, this is what I can't understand for the life of me.
And I've been talking about Dan Schneider for years now.
How is it that this guy gets away without any legal ramifications?
I don't even think anyone sued him at this point.
He just keeps putting out these like, oh, you know, I'm very sorry for how I acted, like little apologies.
That's all it is.
Meanwhile, he's talking about like, and I'll just say it because, you know, it's on his own Twitter account.
He's talking about putting ketchup Totally fine with it.
And I think what's, I had this conversation with my husband because we watched it together and I said, how is this man allowed to stay at Nickelodeon?
And he said, the money, right?
totally fine with it. - Totally fine with it.
And I think what's, I had this conversation with my husband 'cause we watched it together and I said, "How is this man allowed to stay at Nickelodeon?" And he said, "The money, right?" I mean, this man, he said, "My job is to get kids between the ages of 10 to 15 glued to screens, And he did it.
He was successful.
Kids love these shows.
They consume them.
And he was making Nickelodeon a lot of money.
So they were never going to do what was right to fire this creep.
And I think what was also really interesting about the documentary, they kind of had a Me Too angle where they said, oh, he wasn't nice to the women on set.
He was disrespectful toward them.
Okay, that's a problem, but I think the fact that he didn't have women on set is part of why a lot of this was allowed to happen.
When you have a mix, especially when you're dealing with child comedy, to have men and women checking things, women saying, hey, this might not be appropriate, this might not be okay for kids.
I think is really important, and he really surrounded himself by like-minded individuals, and I think they were very bad individuals who produced content that was not for kids and exploitative to the children who were actually acting in these shows.
And unfortunately, in many of these instances, and I don't know, I'm not naming anyone in particular, but in a lot of these instances, you actually have the parents facilitating it, by and large, because they'll say, oh, well,
If you just go and hang out with the producers, make sure you go to the party, then you'll get more screen time, then you'll get more episodes, make sure you do all the right things, and they're actually encouraged because you have these these parents, and to say it many times it's the moms, living vicariously through the children and pushing.
This has obviously been an issue in Hollywood for years that's been going on with child actresses.
But the idea that, you know, they would potentially be willing to overlook some of these behaviors which are just, as you said, very obvious and overt.
Yeah, well I think it's super interesting to look at the parents.
In this case, there was one mom who was so terrible in this documentary.
She basically said, I always wanted to be a child actor so I pushed my daughter into it.
She was allowing her daughter to communicate in exorbitant amount of times with with this male who was a producer on set, much older than her.
This man is in like his mid 20s, I believe, didn't didn't see any red flags there.
Then when she found out that he was sent, he sent her an explicit photo, she She didn't go to the police.
I mean, really just bad parenting all around.
There was one parent who actually said, I was very aggressive on set.
I was watching my kid.
I was making sure things were OK.
And the producers didn't like that.
And the Nickelodeon heads kicked that kid off the show because his mom was too involved.
So they send a message to parents.
Don't be a helicopter parent around these situations.
Don't don't don't care too much because your kid won't go far in this industry, which I think is is extremely dangerous to have underage individuals in these environments where they are primed to be exploited by adults.
And so what's the answer here then?
You know, it seems like there's no accountability for any of this.
I don't hear anyone from Nickelodeon coming out and apologizing.
I don't hear any of these people coming forward now and saying what happened.
And I certainly don't hear anybody getting any legal repercussions.
How is it exactly that it happens that everybody just sort of walks away free?
I think that, like, child TV, child, you know, acting is a very dangerous industry.
I think it always has been.
I mean, you saw what's happened to child actors in the past.
I mean, Miley Cyrus is one.
But, you know, there's a whole history of kids turning out very poorly because of terrible things that happened to them.
On set.
And I don't know if the answer is to say, no, you're not allowed to have child actors.
I'm never sure that legal recourse is the right action because, frankly, it doesn't do anything.
I think as a culture, we need to be far more aggressively speaking out against this.
I think the documentary was a good start.
But being a culture that values the protect, values the innocence of children, that wants to protect children.
If we were a culture that actually cared about those things, child acting would never be a thing.
If you were actually a culture that cared about the innocence of your child, you would never allow your kids to watch these shows in the first place, which are filled with sexual innuendos and are, you know, making money off and profiting off of the exploitation of children just on its face value.
So yeah, I think this is a really, I think it's a cultural sickness that people don't seem to care about this.
And I'm not sure how we combat it.
I think, frankly, Dan Schneider and a lot of these people should be on the sex offender list.
They're not.
So I think it's really going to be a movement within society to actually change things.
And we're becoming more and more of a pagan nation, so I'm not even sure that's possible.
Well, it's, it's not only that, but you're talking about, you know, this is, this is Los Angeles.
Okay.
This is California.
So you look at the permissiveness of laws in California for allowing things like this to happen.
You know, they say, Oh, we're going to protect the children.
We're going to protect the children.
But then you look at the permissiveness in California, State Senator Scott Wiener putting out bills to essentially allow it easier or reduce sentences for child sex offense.
And so there's a lot of questions here.
So if you're, okay, you're gonna have the industry, you're gonna have child starts.
This has been an issue since the very beginning of Hollywood.
The real question is, are we actually going to do something to make things right on these sets?
I think you need some kind of regulation.
I do think you need some, And at the union level, SAG-AFTRA, these are the celebrities, the celebrities that are trying to tell us all how to live our lives and how good they are and how much, you know, it's climate change and race and gender and the Oscars have just turned into now this like, you know, all of the award shows really have just turned into these political pageantry sessions.
And meanwhile, you turn around and say, OK, well, how are you guys running your own industry?
And like, oh, you're infiltrated by pedophiles at Nickelodeon.
Great.
Great.
Less men here in the segment of Edith Duffy.
Yeah, well, I think that that's the point, right?
That these people are constantly preaching to us about how amazing they are, and yet they're not dealing with their own house.
I think it's a huge problem.
Absolute huge problem, and in fact, I guess the question is, is it something that they view as a problem, or is it something that they view as, well, as something that they want?
As something that they view as potentially beneficial?
Something as a benefit to being on these shows and having access to these children?
And to your point, these people do worship many, many dark things, and the idea of corrupting an innocent child is obviously the number one Potential worst thing you could do to violate a young child.
Stay tuned.
Vita Duffy, my favorite anti-communist, is on with us right now.
Long hours.
I'm always listening to Human Events with Jack Posobiec.
All right, we're back live here at Human Events LA.
We're doing a special report, The Child Pedophile Rings at Nickelodeon, of all places.
Well, it's coming out.
Evita Duffy Alfonso is our guest.
Evita, you know, when we have these actresses who are like the former child stars, particularly people like Amanda Bynes and Lindsay Lohan and, you know, so many of these people, especially when they go on
And then Jamie Lynn Spears, right, and Britney Spears, even, that, you know, we kind of look at those of those individuals who have had downfalls, Miley Cyrus, who, you know, go completely off the reservation from the Hannah Montana days to where they are now.
And we laugh about it.
We we joke about it.
We as a society kind of like revel in their downfall as much as we did as in their in their heyday and in their prime.
Is it true, then, that what's really going on is that these people are not, they're not reaching out in excess, they're actually victims.
They're actually victims of Nickelodeon, they're victims of people like Dan Schneider, they're victims of the people who put them in these toxic environments, and that is what we're seeing on the other end now.
Yeah, they're 100% victims, right?
I mean, these are people who, some of them have been sexually abused, There's a lot of indications that Amanda Bynes was.
Really creepy video of her with Dan Schneider in a hot tub.
Like, why is he in a hot tub with a 12-year-old girl?
I don't know.
Weird, weird stuff.
But then, you know, there's also these long work hours that these kids have, right?
They're not having normal childhoods.
They're not growing up like normal children should.
And then you think about what's the nature of this work, right?
You're an actor.
You're trying to pretend to be a bunch of different personalities.
In the case of Amanda Bynes, on her Nickelodeon show, she was I mean, it was it was like 50 different characters that she played.
That was the point of the show, that she had a bunch of different, you know, you know, characters that were part of the Amanda Bynes Show.
Right.
So it was I think that that does something really bad psychologically to young people who are trying to figure out who they are.
And yet they're pretending to be a bunch of things that they're not.
The whole industry is set up to warp and distort kids and and really stunt them in their growth and into adulthood.
That's on top of the fact that many of them are experiencing sexual abuse.
You know, it's interesting, too, because you find that people who are child actors and who in other, you know, there's something about and I guess Nickelodeon and Disney specifically, because there are so much these they're just like these factories, like these assembly lines.
with kids and producers and everyone's running around.
There's so much money.
Yet you can find people on sort of like regular TV shows who may also have children, you know, child actors who don't really seem to exhibit or have experienced any of this.
There's something, I don't know, it feels like there's something specific about Nickelodeon and Disney.
Yeah, I know, I've noticed that too.
And you know, what I've heard about a lot of these actresses and actors that have turned out really bad and products of Nickelodeon and Disney is they had a lot of family issues.
I think that these shows, and this came out a lot in the Nickelodeon documentary, purposely try to keep parents out of things, right?
They try to really take control of the kid's life, otherwise you're not going to succeed in this industry, or at least at Nickelodeon and Disney.
And so I think that's why many of them have had such terrible experiences.
I really think that these shows have a tendency to push parents out of the picture, which is just so dangerous for the mental well-being of young people.
And so, when we're looking at this, though, you know, why is it that our government, the FBI, the, you know, the industries and agencies that are supposed to be actually taking care of this, the institutions, why does it seem like they're not really interested in any of this?
Why is this all coming out in a documentary?
Yeah, I mean, that's a great question.
I'd like to know the answer to that question.
I mean, right, you have the FBI going after Trump supporters, going after pro-lifers, going after literally anyone that is in odds with the Democratic Party.
Not even dealing with the abuses that we're having at the border.
Anything that's important in this country, including the sexual exploitation of children, completely ignored by these agencies.
I'll also say, you know, it could have something to do with the people that control them.
These are very powerful individuals who are in charge of Nickelodeon and Disney and, frankly, all of Hollywood.
So to think that our government is actually going to go after these individuals and hold them accountable for torturing young people in our country, I don't think it's going to happen.
I think that's how things work in the FBI, right?
It really is a gang organization.
It's not something that's looking out for the people.
It doesn't care about law and order.
It cares about protecting certain individuals while punishing others based off of their political views.
It almost sounds, it almost sounds a little bit, you know, you might, you might, you might have to use a word like, like, like non-human, like, like almost like they're, almost like they're un-human in a way.
I mean, I just, I don't, I can't imagine anyone ever saying something like that.
Look, I took so much flak, and I'm still taking flak for the title of the new book, for un-humans, and people say, how dare you say that?
And I say, Look at their fruits.
Look at the things these people have done.
Look at the things they embrace.
Look at the things they do.
And what else would you want me to say other than, you know, if we saw somebody acting like this at a church or at a school or, you know, baseball, you know, Little League or whatever it is, whatever it is, you would do something about it.
You would lose your mind.
You know, as a dad, if I saw somebody, you know, You know, like in my kid's karate class and acting this way, I would go over and... I mean, you know what would happen, right?
You know, it would not go good for them.
And so the idea that you have this completely upside-down system where people have incentivized the molestation and the sexual assault of children, and by the way, not just incentivized it, they've monetized it.
That, to me, shows what's absolutely disgusting.
And for those shows, iCarly and so many of the others, it's like, I don't even know if you can even, you know, I never watched any of them to begin with, but, you know, I can't even imagine what it must have been like having watched those shows if you grew up watching them and then now thinking back to those memories and then realizing what you're seeing and what you were in a way, you know, not, you know, not implicitly, but you were actually kind of participating in in a weird way.
Yeah, I mean, I'm sure it's horrifying to so many young people who are realizing that, you know, the people that they fanned over now had gone through such horrible things while they were watching these shows.
I also find it just so frustrating that we are called conspiracy theorists if we ever talk about child exploitation.
If we ever talk about what's happening in Hollywood, it's ridiculous.
It is happening.
A whole documentary just came out about it.
How can you deny it?
And then, you know, there's what's happening in Hollywood.
We also have to talk about... Nope, doesn't exist.
Yeah, right, it doesn't exist.
But the same thing that's happening in Hollywood is also happening with reality TV, looking at Jazz Jennings, and it's also happening with online vloggers.
This is happening all over the place.
