The Poso 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.
Christ is king!
Trump has done something no person in the world has ever done before.
A dead politician has risen.
This is the greatest comeback in political history.
This Davos is all Trump, all AI. The formation of Stargate, a new American company that will invest $500 billion, at least, in AI infrastructure in the United States.
Everyone is talking about new leadership in America and the incoming policies that we are going to see President Trump execute.
They don't take conservative business.
And I don't know if the regulators mandated that because of Biden or what, but you and Jamie and everybody, I hope you're going to open your banks to conservatives because what you're doing is wrong.
The initial immigration raids have already arrested and removed some of the most vicious criminals in this country, including child pornography cases, homicide cases.
Sexual assault, attacks on children.
And this is just the very beginning.
The first 1,500 US troops are arriving at the southern border as President Donald Trump launches his long-promised crackdown on immigration.
They have been taken off the leash and they are motivated like never before to try and go out.
And as one border patrol official told me yesterday, Consequences are being delivered, and that's what they signed up to do, and they're finally doing it.
The House of Representatives passed the Lake and Riley Act.
This bill now heads to President Trump for his signature, which will be forthcoming in a matter of days.
The Trump administration has introduced a new one-flag policy requiring all State Department buildings to fly only the American flag.
I went through four years of hell.
I spent millions of dollars in legal fees, and I won.
But I did it the hard way.
It's really hard to say that they shouldn't have to go through it all.
So it is very hard to say that.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily here live, Washington, D.C. Today is January 23rd, 2025. Anno Domini.
President Trump giving a command performance there.
The speech remote broadcast to Davos.
But his basic underpinning is this.
America is back.
The real America.
The great power America.
No longer will America be ruled by globalism.
No more will the globalists of Davos be able to dictate policy within the confines of the contiguous borders of the republic.
No.
The United States of America is under new management and there's a new sheriff in town.
So whether it be China, whether it be Canada, whether it be Mexico, whether it be Ukraine, whether it be Brussels.
Klaus Schwab and the rest of them.
And they all realize this, by the way.
All of the hookers of Davos understand this.
And no, I'm not just talking about the Soros family.
No, no.
No, no.
I mean the actual escorts.
You see, what people don't understand about Davos is that when it goes on, all of the world's super elite, all of the super rich come together.
And the escorts, oh, they get paid very, very well.
But they hear things.
They hear little whispers across the pillows.
And who controls the pillows?
That's right.
Promo code COSO through Mike Lindell.
When you control the pillows, you control pillow talk.
Look, folks, they understand that their time is over.
Their time is done.
Now, don't be lulled into a false sense of security either.
They understand that they are not going to go without a fight.
President Trump And there are smear campaigns going on as we speak to attack those America First candidates and those America First appointees.
specifically a smear campaign against any Trump appointee who opposes endless war being led by David Wormser.
And that's of course, according to a senior White House official.
Wormser, in fact, worked for Cheney and Bolton in the Bush administration and was instrumental in helping to manipulate intelligence to try to show that Iraq had wet WMDs and was supporting al-Qaeda.
Obviously, nothing of the sort was true.
But for those out there who support the endless war agenda, they can see here in Washington, D.C., that their influence is waning.
And that is why they are trying to put the screws to Pete Hegseth, to Tulsi Gabbard, to J.D. Vance, to anyone who was appointed that shares this...
Idea that we don't need to be the world's police anymore.
Let the world take care of itself.
And as for us, we will go to the southern border.
All these special forces and all of these different JSOC operatives and CAG and Delta and SEAL Team and DAMNEC and DEVGRU, guess what?
There's a lot of issues here at home rather than all around the world.
Don't worry, boys.
You're going to be called in very soon.
And you don't have to go very far.
You know, they talk about influencers.
These are influencers.
And they're friends of mine.
Jack Posobiec.
Where's Jack?
Jack.
He's done a great job.
All right, folks.
Jack Posobiec back in frozen Washington, D.C.
Those are live shots you're looking at of the Jefferson Memorial.
The tidal basin there at the Jefferson Memorial, as you can see, completely frozen over.
This is something that we've been seeing here in D.C. for a couple of days now as the Arctic blast, the cold snap that we're seeing, continues.
But that's okay, folks, because President Trump is bringing all the heat that we need.
Folks, let me tell you something.
Ashish Kumar Jai, you ever hear that name?
That's the name of a former Biden administration COVID-19 response coordinator who recently gave a chilling speech at the University of Michigan School of Public Health.
And he warned of a new age of pandemics, fueled by bioweapons development and natural threats.
He called for massive investments in vaccines against pathogens that don't even exist yet and urged a war against so-called misinformation.
But the question we need to ask is, who's working on these bioweapons, or any bioweapons, and how many labs are there globally?
Evil will always be lurking in the background.
Being prepared is your best defense.
The Wellness Company's Contagion Emergency Kit, engineered by Dr. Peter McCullough and his medical board, includes five critical, life-saving medications.

It's simple.
You fill out a digital intake form.

Want to bring on now Mike Benz for the Foundation from Freedom Online.
Benz, how are you?
Doing great.
Great to see you, Jack.
Look, President Trump there up on, you as well, and President Trump up there at the World Economic Forum specifically, and these are two topics that are near and dear to your heart.
He talked about the debanking of conservatives, and he specifically called out censorship initiatives.
And for folks in the know, as who have been following your work, they know that the entire last year's World Economic Forum theme was the censorship of misinformation.
Now you have the president of the United States, leader of the free world, specifically saying, no, we're not going to be doing that, Benz.
Yeah, in 2024, the 2024 annual report for...
Where risk mitigation for the World Economic Forum listed mis- and disinformation as the number one short-term risk to governments and companies all over the world.
Basically, someone being wrong on the internet somewhere is the biggest threat to the liberal rules-based international order.
Now, of course, it means anything that supports a populist president for candidate in the US, in Europe, and around the world.
The World Economic Forum, famous for, you will have nothing and you'll be happy, also had a strange proclamation several years ago that the U.S. will no longer be the world's superpower.
And as they said that cheerfully, there was a picture of the Chinese flag rising in the background.
So, you know, this is basically the shark tank that Trump...
I'm glad that it's happening so early in the new administration that he gets to look eye to eye, in a sense, assert dominance over a lot of these forces who will be trying to snake him and attack him from various angles over the next four years.
Well, and so that's also something that I've been focusing on as well.
I've been talking about how here, even in Washington, D.C., we've heard these globalist types going after America First nominees, people working against Pete Hegseth.
We're going to have an update on that in the very next segment here with Mark Lucas.
But also this idea that they're coming against Tulsi Gabbard.
They're coming against—even many of these same types worked against J.D. Vance.
And if anyone who's listened to Tucker knows that you had the warmongers in Washington, D.C., Lindsey Graham and the entire coterie of them coming— Why?
Because there are billions and billions of dollars that are tied into these various complexes, whether it be censorship and also whether it be war.
So, Ben, what should the incoming Trump administration do when it comes to focusing on this idea of infiltration and really just the snakes in the midst?
We've talked about Schedule F as being a very powerful tool for that.
Also making sure that the political appointees that surround the cabinet members themselves, the chief of staff positions, for example, the deputies, the assistant secretaries, the undersecretaries, that you basically have no compromise to the regime because any link in the chain could be used as the basis for a snakeening.
And I think that we've seen A lot of strong moves in that direction from Trump world.
I'm personally delighted at the first three days of this administration.
And frankly, I think that Trump's enemies are in a little bit of disarray right now that this is all really happening, which is not to say it won't reform shortly soon, but I think there's this sense of, we thought we killed you.
Why aren't you dead?
And that is, for whatever reason, I think allowing The initiative to be seized by Trump and all that can be really done on the other side of it in the immediate term is to point and sputter impotently, which is what we're seeing.
Well, I think that's right.
And of course, we're already seeing that, whether it be people wanting to attack Elon Musk for this random nonsense, going over, oh my gosh, he raised his hand on a stage and they're trying to claim that it's something that it's clearly just not, or going after someone because of their views saying, look, I have a view that we shouldn't be picking fights and wars all around the world.
And they suddenly scream, Aha!
You're an apologist!
You're a defender!
You're on their side!
Look, they've been doing it to Tulsi Gabbard since, I want to say, 2015, when she came out in support of Bernie Sanders.
And they said, Aha!
She's a Russian stude.
She's a Russian plant.
And then Assad Toady, which, of course, the great Joe Rogan had the temerity to ask Barry Weiss when she brought that up in this wonderful scene.
What does Toady mean?
What does Toady mean that she actually couldn't define the term?
No, it's very funny.
But I will say I'm extremely heartened to see Trump actually confront these folks about the censorship issue because he did not do that in Term 1.0.
I can say that with some confidence as a former Trump speechwriter who tried to write speeches about censorship to Trump.
That was not on his mind.
I don't think he wanted to believe it until it really impacted him personally.
And now he's going right to the belly of the beast and taking it to him.
And the fact is, it is these international aspects of the censorship industry that are going to be doubling and tripling in size over the next several years.
And the U.S. censors and exiles will be attaching themselves to the EU, to the UK, to Brazil, and to dozens of others that will form a sort of...
Shadow cabinet here in the U.S. to use other countries' censorship laws.
But the fact is, is the World Economic Forum itself formed an institution called GARM, whose mission was to deprive conservative and populist websites of $2.6 billion in programmatic ad revenue.
And they were successfully on their way to doing that until Jim Jordan...
And a parade of lawsuits effectively got that shut down.
So we have the wind at our sails.
We have momentum on this.
And we have to keep the pressure on.
Well, I think you're right, though, as well on another topic there, because it is going to come through the EU. And I think this is one of the reasons, by the way, that Elon Musk has been so vocal regarding certain parties and certain groups that he's been, I would say, maybe not necessarily coming out and endorsing or supporting,
but he's definitely giving air cover to various movements, AFD, something that has really come up in the media, because he's doing so in order to push back against the likes of Olaf Scholz, of the CDU. This is Angela Merkel's former party.
And, of course, Keir Starmer.
Keir Starmer in the UK, not an EU position, but also someone that he's gotten into it with, particularly with Rotherham and these other issues.
It isn't necessarily that he's doing it out of a vacuum.
He understands that he faces serious threats from them using censorship and using the power of their government apparatus to go after X. So it'll be this sort of backdoor censorship because, and I think you've talked about this before, that because if they enter...
One regulatory framework.
It's not like he's going to be able to censor things in one country or in just the EU or the Schengen zone.
He's got to do it for the entire company.
Right.
And we've already seen the EU rake the US tech companies over the coals.
Mark Zuckerberg talked on Rogan about the $30 billion in fines so far that collectively Microsoft, Google and Facebook have had to eat.
And that the Biden administration did nothing to defend U.S. interests in Europe as that was all happening.
In fact, seemed to be cheerleading it on.
Right now, as we speak, the National Endowment for Democracy is a signatory to the EU Code of Practice on disinformation.
I'll say that again.
Trump's probably most pernicious CIA cutout being funded by the federal government as we speak.
Is still a proud signatory to a European law forcing U.S. companies to censor whatever the EU says is disinformation.
That has to be ended immediately.
There should be no U.S.-funded NGO, no third-party group, no government blessing whatsoever.
We need to be declaring war on the Digital Censorship Act.
Sorry, the Digital Services Act.
Endorsing that cannot get a single dollar of U.S. government grant or contractual support, and we need to route this out, root and stem.
So the fact that Biden had government agencies and pseudo-government agencies work with the U.S., with the EU government in order to kill U.S. companies, that dark age is over.
We're here for the golden age now.
The golden age begins.
The little dark age has ended.
Mike Benz, where can people go to follow you, my brother?
Find me on X at Mike Benz Cyber and at Foundation for Freedom Online.
We're dropping a massive report in the next 24 hours over there.

I'm always listening to Human Events with Jack Posobiec.
All right, Jack Posobiec here.
We are back live.
That's a live shot you're looking at right now of Washington, D.C. here on Human Events Daily.

I promised this before the segment here.
Lisa Murkowski, the senator from Alaska, has come out against...
Pete Hegseth's nomination.
She says she has met him.
And right here, I cannot in good conscience support his nomination for Secretary of Defense.
I do not make this decision lightly.
Rhino alert, folks!
We got a big ol' Rhino alert coming up here in Alaska.
She says, I commend his service, leading troops and veterans.
She says she has significant concerns, talks about his expertise, talks about his qualifications, talks about statements on women in combat, talks about some of these media allegations that have been made regarding him.
And let's see, let's see, let's see.
I regret that I'm unable to support Mr. Hegseth.
We have Mark Lucas on now, the executive vice president of the Article 3 project, someone who also served with Pete and knows him quite well.
Mark, how are you?
Great.
Thanks for having me on.
So, Mark, let me get your reaction to this.
Lisa Murkowski, the first senator to come out unequivocally and put on the record that she is not for Pete.
Yeah, so I've known Pete for over a decade, so I can talk about his qualifications, his character.
He was my predecessor at Concerned Veterans for America, and he handed me a world-class organization.
I maintained his leadership team and his strategy.
And Pete Hegseth really built this vision of reforming the Department of Veterans Affairs.
So I saw his leadership firsthand.
He helped prepare me when I was meeting with President Trump at the White House to talk about how we could reform the VA. We also served in the 34th Infantry Division.
Pete and I are warfighters.
We were both infantry rifle platoon leaders in combat.
If you want to talk about his qualifications, he deployed to Afghanistan.
He deployed to Iraq, Guantanamo Bay.
He's got two bronze stars.
He called in airstrikes.
I like to say that the trigger pullers love Pete Hegseth and the paper pushers hate him.
So with this development of Senator Murkowski coming out, look, at the end of the day, this comes down to math, right?
So it is the Republicans have a 53-vote majority in the Senate.
That's assuming that no Democrats come over and vote for the nominee.
Obviously, you saw with Marco Rubio, 99-0.
So he did receive that confirmation once it seemed that he was going through.
He was the first cabinet nominee to be confirmed.
But let's just talk party line because we're looking at math.
So from 53 losing Murkowski, that takes it down to 52. I know two others that particularly seem to be on the bubble as pertains to just the media reporting here in D.C. are Susan Collins and Mitch McConnell.
So how do you think the math plays out, and what is the tail of the tape here?
The math is still good for Pete Hegseth.
I believe that Pete Hegseth will be confirmed as our next Secretary of Defense.
Either late Friday evening or early Saturday morning, Senate Democrats are playing games, which is very unfortunate because our national security is on the line.
And to go back in the time when President Joe Biden was elected president, two days after his inauguration, Lloyd Austin was confirmed as his secretary of defense.
And what we see is that Senate Democrats in particular, they don't believe that President Trump has a mandate.
I guess they don't believe in the will of the American people.
Because we all saw that President Trump won in a historic landslide.
He won every single swing state.
The American people support this disruptor.
President Trump is our commander-in-chief.
But they also support his disruptor-like cabinet with Pete Hegseth.
And what I've seen at the Article 3 project, we developed an action center.
And Pete Hegseth...
His nomination is extremely popular.
We've had over 30,000 people send in tens of thousands of messages to the United States Senators in support of Pete Hegseth.
He is the right pick.
I feel good about the math.
And Pete Hegseth will be our next Secretary of Defense.
Okay, so I'm just walking through some of these scenarios here.
So you're looking at potentially, and by the way, the 53...
The 53-47, this was the vote that was taken on those party lines when it came to one of the procedural votes, I believe, yesterday.
So that's one of the things that were, you know, sort of taken as reading the tea leaves as potential for the floor vote.
But of course, moving the nomination along is not the same thing as voting to confirm.
So I know a lot of people or some folks out there, maybe not in this audience, but some folks out there were saying that they thought maybe Pete had been confirmed yesterday.
It's not actually the case.
So you're saying possibly late tomorrow, early Saturday.
That, of course, means that it goes down.
So you've got Collins, you've got McConnell himself, and then it's down to 50. And then, of course, in a 50-50 situation, it would be J.D. Vance who breaks the tie-breaking vote.
Is that correct?
That's correct.
And let's not forget, during that procedural vote, Senator Fetterman from your home state of Pennsylvania voted to advance Pete's nomination.
So we have the ability of losing three Republicans.
We could pick up John Fetterman.
J.D. could come in for the tie-breaking vote.
But as we sit today, I believe that the math still looks good, that Pete Hegseth is on track to be our next Secretary of Defense.
And these smear campaigns as well are just acts of desperation.
I've been telling people that Pete Hegseth's confirmation is Kavanaugh 2.0.
We saw NBC News run a story yesterday with these fake allegations from Pete's Former sister-in-law, which by the way, Pete's ex-wife has forcefully refuted those.
That's an act of desperation.
Democrats know that the math is not on their side.
They know that Pete is very popular with the grassroots, so they're trying everything they can to disrupt this nomination.
But I believe that the math is good and he will go through.
Well, that's good news to hear.
And of course, I know obviously a lot of people or some of the other nominees are probably going to be looking at these votes as well.
Tulsi Gabbard has now just been confirmed for a hearing.
She has the date next Thursday, so that will be the 30th.
We also know that Kash Patel is going up on the 29th.
I believe RFK is also going to be scheduled pretty soon here.
So a lot of the nominees, and these are the big ones.
These are really, I think, the big three are Hegseth, RFK. And Tulsi Gabbard, the people are really looking to, as pertains to, look, this is the agenda that the American people voted for.
These are the people that President Trump put up, obviously, except not during the campaign, but afterwards.
And look, at the end of the day...
Pete Hegseth stands for the kind of things that President Trump spoke about forcefully on the campaign trail.
This idea of having an actual change agent at the Secretary of Defense, not having someone who's either part of the system or someone who wants to simply continue business as business.
Isn't that right?
You're correct.
And we always knew that Pete Hegseth was going to be the most challenging nomination.
It was so outside of the box.
We anticipated the Kavanaugh tactics from the left.
So this was supposed to be a challenge.
And so there's no surprises today.
He's on track.
And you're absolutely right that President Trump, he loves Pete Hegseth.
Pete is a warfighter first.
That's why veterans and even active duty service members all across the country have had such a positive response.
Recruiting is starting to pick back up.
And Pete Hegseth will return our military back to the fundamentals.
As I said before, Pete and I were both warfighters.
And in theater, we did not have time to focus on frivolous matters.
We had to focus on shoot, move, communicate, and stop bleeding.
And guess what didn't make the list?
DEI, transgender surgeries, or understanding white rage.
So Pete Hegseth, we need him desperately.
The world has never been more volatile than ever.
And Jack, you brought up a couple other confirmations as well.
And Tulsi Gabbard is kind of the same cloth.
Just like Pete and I, she was a member of the National Guard.
She brings an outsider lens into these intelligence agencies.
She deployed as a combat leader.
She's going to come in and disrupt an intelligence community that you know very well that needs major reform.
So we look forward to supporting all of Trump's cabinet selections.
Well, I've heard this also from a number of other senators.
We had Senator Lee, we had Senator Johnson, and a number of them have been saying simply that it looks as though they don't expect President Trump's nominees.
To not be confirmed.
Sure, you know, there might be a couple of votes here or there.
They go this way.
They go that way.
But at the end of the day, it's, look, the president won in a truly dominant and commanding fashion back in November.
And doing so, and as the president mentioned last night, he said, I did it the hard way.
The euphemism, to say the least.
Understatement, possibly, of the millennium.
That he gets, look, the president gets his cabinet.
The president gets his picks.
And their success and failure at the end of the day should.
It could be up to them rather than having the senators try to push too hard on the president's picks.
And we know, of course, that nothing against Pete or Tulsi or any of the nominees, but we know that President Trump certainly is more than willing to change out his cabinet should any issues arise.
Isn't that right?
You're absolutely correct.
And I would say this about the Senate.
You know, there's traditions, there's norms, and I respect those.
Like, every committee has different rules of how they refer these committees to the floor.
For instance, the Judiciary Committee, they have a couple days of hearings, which makes sense because some of those nominees are going to be judges in lifetime appointments.
And the Senate Armed Services Committee, they had one round of questioning for Pete Hegseth.
The Senate Republicans were able to expedite that.
They got them to the floor.
And I respect tradition, but the American people, they understand that we are in a very pivotal time in modern-day history, and we need to get these people confirmed as soon as possible.
Mark Lucas, we're just about out of time here.
Human Events Daily.
Go give and follow the Article 3 project where Mark Lucas works over with the great Mike Davis and also Will Chamberlain.
We'll be right back with Michael Knowles.
Jack, 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 Pulisic.
All right, Jack Posobiec back, Human Events Daily Live, Washington, D.C. By the way, breaking news over just a moment ago in the United States Senate, John Ratcliffe has been confirmed as the CIA. Director in the Trump administration.
I don't have the exact numbers on the vote right now, but I'm going to get that down.
Oh, there it is, 74-25.
So huge, huge win right there for John Ratcliffe, picking up a number of Democrats, obviously, along with the 53 Republicans.
That comes on the heels of the news that Lisa Murkowski's statement saying that she will not be supporting Pete Hegseth.
So a lot going on.
President Trump's nominees working their way.
But there's something else that we need to discuss, folks, and we need to discuss a little bit more because that Bishop S that we saw the other day at Tuesday, well, my brother and I were there, and we came here on the program immediately after having left that...
I'm not even sure what you call it, because it certainly wasn't a mass, and it certainly wasn't a ceremony, but that performance, which was an interesting experience.
But there was another character that you might know that we actually were sitting right next to, and it was Michael Knowles who joins us now.
Michael, what's going on, man?
Jack, I'm doing well.
I've recovered from whatever it was that we witnessed at the National Cathedral, so-called, but it took a little while to process just exactly what we saw.
The first time that the Jack Posobiec and Michael Knowles walk into a female priest, and that's what we get.
You know, it's almost like, you know, it's almost like Corinthians was, I don't know, a bit prescient in discussing these matters.
You know, it's not surprising that a lady who would mistake herself for a bishop might also confuse foreign nationals for American citizens or even little boys for little girls.
I guess this should have been expected.
But, you know, it's worth pointing out for those who are not history buffs or deep into theology.
Christianity does not have priestesses.
Christianity has priests.
Our Lord chooses his disciples, his apostles, then there are disciples who are the ministers of Christ who act in persona Christi, in the person.
Now, there are plenty of other religions that have priestesses.
Priestesses go all the way back to antiquity, but they're usually part of pagan cults.
They're not part of Christianity.
And what we are seeing increasingly with these leftist activist organizations that masquerade as Christian ecclesial communities is we're seeing effectively pagan cults.
What this woman was talking about was so hideous because she was promoting a particularly egregious form of child abuse, the castration of little children.
And this partakes of Gnostic heresy, the notion that our true selves have nothing to do with our bodies.
That's an old ancient heresy that's been around for a long time, just like priestesses have.
But you're seeing the old demons rear their ugly heads again, and it's quite bizarre to see it all dressed up in a facade of Christianity.
You know, I got to ask you, man, when we walked in there, like...
I did not expect this to blow up.
I did not expect this to be a newsworthy event in any way.
I expected this to sort of be, I don't know, perfunctory.
You know, you go in and you think it's going to be a prayer service and there's going to be some talk of national unity and, hey, we pray for the country.
We pray that, I don't know, maybe the economy will go well and we pray for the...
Safety of our of our soldiers and just very basic statements that you normally hear at a service and that you know we hope the country will be successful we can all come together which in fact was really the majority of her sermon was talking about that and she said I'm against the You know, I'm against the culture of, you know, the culture of gotcha.
I'm against the culture of using this caustic process to be able to garner hatred and all of these things.
Well, that's kind of interesting.
And then she goes and does that at the very end, throws that little stinger on, and then jumps all over CNN because that's exactly what she wanted to do the entire time.
By the way, Scott Besant, who was also there, has already released an open letter to her calling for her to apologize.
I apologize, which I certainly think that she should.
And within moments of this, I said that we should really look at the tax-exempt status of said National Cathedral when you're having people like that run the place.
She, as you point out, undermined her own sermon.
The opening to it was perfectly fine, calling for unity.
I am all for unity, actually, and I think we should find commonality when it is possible.
But then she gave a deeply divisive and downright disgusting sermon on how Americans don't have the right to enforce basic national laws and on how we should trans little kids.
So that was really bizarre.
Her sermon was so egregious that no one is even talking about the other slightly odd aspects of the sermon.
Notably, that there was a Muslim call to prayer.
There was a reading from the Quran and then a Muslim call to prayer, which is no knock on our Muslim friends.
We love our Muslim friends.
But it's an odd thing to hear a Muslim call to prayer in a cathedral.
A cathedral is supposed to be a Christian house of worship.
I suppose we hear it in the Hagia Sophia, but it's for different reasons.
So what they clearly were trying to do, they brought in some...
A white guy who has become a Buddhist, and they had all sorts of odd things there.
But what they wanted to do was be totally inclusive of everything.
But the problem is...
You can't really include everything, because going back to good old Uncle Aristotle, there's a law of non-contradiction.
You can't simultaneously hold opposing things to be true.
And I think this is actually a big theme of the opening days of the administration.
We want to bring everyone in.
We want national unity.
President Trump says, I'm going to be a great president for everyone.
Everyone's going to do better on my watch.
But we need to have certain limits here, okay?
You know, the most basic one from her sermon being, The difference between boys and girls.
We need to have limits.
We need to know what it is that we believe.
Are we, as we've been told from the beginning of our country, one nation under God that believes in certain unalienable rights?
Are we, as John Adams said, founded on the principles of Christianity?
Are we, as John Jay said, so happy to have been birthed as a nation with this common religion?
Is it just totally up for grabs?
You know, I think in recent years, Christianity has tried to be absolutely everything to everyone, and we've lost our identity.
Just as in politics, we've lost our national identity.
You know, I just have to say, the idea that the National Cathedral is run by this woke junta of Episcopalians just clearly flies in the face of everything that...
We stand as a nation that's been constituted.
By the way, you know, some of the religions you mentioned right there or the groups that you mentioned, we're talking about like 1% of the population.
And America has always been.
A Christian majority nation.
It remains a Christian majority nation.
That doesn't mean we can't be ecumenical.
That doesn't mean that we can't be pluralistic.
And I certainly understand all of those things.
But going into this, we were not looking for a circus.
And they absolutely turned it into the circus with the bishopess becoming the chief clown in the Three Ring Act, which, of course, President Trump called out as he rightfully should.
That's right.
You know, different religions believe different things.
And so we like to be tolerant.
We like to be gracious.
We like to welcome people.
But, you know, to use the example of Islam, Islam has a view of God that is very different than the Christian view of God.
The Christian view of God identifies God.
As both will and intellect, that God is synonymous with logic.
In the beginning was the logos, and the logos was with God, and the logos was God.
The Islamic view is a voluntarist view that says that Allah is pure will, that Allah is not necessarily tied with logic.
So your mileage may vary on what conclusion you come to, but those are just different views.
And so you can't simultaneously embrace all these kinds of religions.
And what you end up with is just an abandonment of your traditional religion.
True religion, as I would call it.
And you end up with this kind of feel-good, happy-clappy gobbledygook that really isn't good for anyone.
The one real positive thing I would say about this sermon, though, is the blowback that it got.
Because we just had a referendum on these kinds of crazy views.
And Trump won.
And Trump didn't just win in the Electoral College.
He won the popular vote.
And he won one in five black male voters, which is a huge number compared to recent years.
He won almost half of Hispanics.
He actually won a lot of Muslim votes.
We had this referendum and her pitiful, ridiculous remarks struck me as the last gasp of a dying and deservedly dying ideology as we move into something newer and better and maybe a golden age of America, as President Trump calls it.
Quick break coming up.
We've got one more segment with Michael Knowles.
By the way, one of my favorites in there, 67% of Native Americans.
Yes, that's right.
American Indians, 67%, the highest demographic because even they are completely sick of it.
Elizabeth Warren, what did you do, girl?
What did you do?
right back Jack is a great guy that's fantastic everybody's talking about it Go get it.
And he's been my friend right from the beginning of this whole beautiful event.
And we're going to turn it around and make our country great again.
Amen.
All right, Jack Posobiec, we are back here, Washington, D.C. We got Michael Knowles.
So, Knowles, let me ask you about the second part of what the Bishop S. spoke about.
And this, of course, has already Axios had their...
Interesting tweet up saying that President Trump is flying in the face of Christian values by deporting criminals and saying that they shouldn't be here.
That's not very Christ-like of him.
What is or what should be the Christian response when people hear that you shouldn't deport criminals from your nation?
I always love when atheists who have never cracked the spine of a Bible decide that they're going to tell Christians what their religion says.
I always find that so charming.
But no, there is nothing in Christianity that says that nations are not allowed to have borders.
There's nothing in Christianity that says that people are not allowed to enforce the most basic National laws.
I think they need to look into their history books.
732, we had a bit of a deportation when there was an Islamic invasion that made it 150 miles outside of Paris.
Was Charles Martel unchristian for sending them packing?
How about the Battle of Lepanto in 1571?
How about the Battle of Vienna?
Mass migration waves that were repelled.
Christendom, we have Western civilization because of those expulsions.
The Reconquista went from 711 to 1492. And in fact, the woman behind the end of the Reconquista, Queen Isabella, is a servant of God on her way to St. Claude.
So I think history gets in the way of a lot of these claims.
And even the mass deportations that you're seeing so far.
Are focused on the most egregious criminals.
There was a gang member from Haiti who was filmed today screaming out of a cop car saying, I'm not going back to Haiti.
Spoiler alert, he is going back to Haiti, and it's really important.
This is what the people voted for.
If we don't enforce the simplest laws, the most fundamental laws in our country, then we don't have a country, we don't have a right to self-government, and we might as well pack up the whole American political project.
I couldn't agree more.
I mean, history just flies in the face of so many things.
By the way, I got into it with David French once about the Bible in schools, and I used the exact same tactic to point out that, yes, the Bible was not mandated in schools, but historically...
Every schoolhouse in America, or certainly a vast majority of them, would open with the Pledge of Allegiance and then the reading of a verse from Scripture.
It was completely common.
It was American history for all the way up pretty much into the 1960s or so.
And so that's why I spent all day here on the show yesterday saying that if you want the 50s back, you have to repeal the 60s.
It's as simple as that.
Very simple.
And it reminds me of what Ronald Reagan said, which is that it's not that our liberal friends are ignorant.
It's just that they know so much that isn't so.
But as you point out, Jack, the Bible in schools, prayer in schools, was commonplace.
It was essentially universal until the middle to latter part of the 20th century when a bunch of libs decided to rewrite the Constitution.
But why is it?
Is it because we have forced conversions or forced religion or something?
No, not at all.
But just think about this.
If you're going to go to school...
You go there to be educated.
It is not possible to be educated without familiarity with the most important book ever written, even if you don't believe the Bible, even if you don't practice religion.
You might be the most hardcore atheist out there.
I think you've got to admit it's a pretty important book.
So sure, you can read your Toni Morrison.
You can read your William Faulkner.
He's a good writer.
But the more important book to read is the Bible.
You can't be an educated person without that.
And by the way, you can't be an educated person without some kind of moral education as well.
The Libs tricked us when they said, you know, we just want to teach children how to think.
Not what to think.
That is a meaningless statement because you can't know how to think without knowing certain facts.
You can't know how to think about the American Revolution without knowing that it kicked off in 1775 and 1776. You can't know much about the Civil War unless you know that fact that the Civil War kicks off in 1860. You can't know much about mathematics without knowing that 2 plus 2 equals 4. So you have to know certain facts.
You have to know that.
It's wrong to commit murder.
You've got to know basic stuff.
And that's all you're seeing here with the new Trump administration.
You're seeing a return to common sense.
You're seeing a return to normal.
By the way, it's funny you mention that, too, because I've, you know, my wife, of course, coming from Eastern Europe, and then I've also even spent time in China.
And guess what?
The Chinese teach their kids that what to think.
In Eastern Europe, they teach people what to think, just in terms of the basics of history.
They teach you civilization.
They teach you the Roman Empire.
They teach you how all of these things came to pass.
And yes, they certainly do have their sort of perspective on it, but also that makes sense for a nation.
Two minutes left in this segment, but Knowles, I've got to ask you, huge scoop out of the Daily Wire.
Mary Margaret Olihan having the byline on it.
President Trump working to pardon the pro-lifers who were imprisoned under the FACE Act.
Potentially within days.
Now, I know that the March for Life obviously kicks off tomorrow, the annual March for Life.
You know, it would be interesting timing if the pro-lifers were actually pardoned, and that could be announced right at the march.
Congrats on the scoop, and what are you hearing?
I am so elated to hear this news.
I hope and trust that it will come to pass.
There's been so much great stuff that's come out of the first days of the Trump administration.
The one thing I've been waiting on is that when is he going to pardon these pro-lifers?
For people who are not familiar with the story, these are activists, people who all they care about is praying and peaceably demonstrating in front of these satanic abortion mills and trying to save innocent little babies.
And the Biden administration tossed these people into prison because of a bogus law.
It was passed during the Clinton administration, the FACE Act, which is just a way to give special protection to abortion mills.
It's awful stuff.
I mean, elderly women rotting in prison because they care about babies and they're trying to save them.
So this is probably the greatest injustice of the last four years, and I am fully confident that President Trump is going to rectify that.
And the man has a knack for showmanship, so the timing with the March for Life is spot on, I think.
Right.
I was looking at it myself.
I said, well, you know, the March for Life is on Friday, and this thing is coming down.
I mean, it really just kind of lines up.
The March for Life becoming the forcing function for that President Trump also, by the way, being the first president to ever attend as a sitting president the March for Life.
I went.
I took my mother, as a matter of fact, and it was an incredible event.
event.
And I remember the Bush years when he wouldn't come down, even when he was just a couple of feet away in the white house, he would call in and they would act like it was a, like it was a big deal.
Michael Knowles, everybody knows where to follow you, but shout out your coordinates anyway.
Well, you can catch a show at the daily wire, the Michael Knowles show.
You can go catch all my links at Michael J Knowles.com.
And you can always smoke a nice Mayflower cigar to celebrate all this winning.
Oh, the Mayflower cigar sounds a little bit like colonization.
