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!
All right, we're here with someone that no one at Real America's Voice has ever seen before.
You're not going to be familiar with this guy.
His name's Kalen Doerr, believe it or not.
I know this is the first time you've ever heard that name.
And he actually works in the White House now.
It's his first time that he's ever had a job in the United States.
We can't talk about certain things that are still classified to this day that he has to take to the grave.
But... But Caleb Doerr, our former Real America's Voice host, is now here at the White House in the Comms Department.
Let me see here.
It's the Deputy Communications Director and Deputy Assistant to the President of the United States.
Wow! Kind of an upgrade.
It's definitely an upgrade in some senses, but in others, I mean, I don't get to talk to the Real America's Voice audience nearly as much.
We can fix that.
I seem to see you a lot more now, though, now that I'm here.
I don't know what that's all about.
It might be you're looking for a little access, but I think it's because we're transparent as heck over here.
We're trying to make sure everyone gets access.
So talk to me, right?
And that's really what this podcast row today, this whole sort of behind-the-scenes access granting.
Is for because obviously there's been a huge level of engagement with new media, you yourself coming from new media, obviously understand how that works.
But I got to ask about X, man.
I got to ask about Twitter, the social side, the digital side, because what you guys are doing, and look, the Biden White House, the Kamala team, all them, they had obviously accounts and they even had a TikTok and all the rest of it.
It was the most cringe stuff I think I've ever seen in my life.
So how do you understand how to actually use new media as opposed to, like, forcing memes all the time?
I think a big part of it is that we all believe in what the president is doing, and we kind of have guardrails with which we operate.
We're able to move quickly and fast and effectively in a way that typical administrations are very...
They're very sterile in that a video has got to go through 30 different approval chains.
And the ethos of this is obviously America is back.
And that's a very irreverent, unapologetic way of going about saying, we're here, you either run with it or you run from it.
And that's kind of how our ethos here in the digital shop has been.
We're pushing the limits of everything, but we're not...
We're not hyper fixated on trends, if that makes sense.
Brat Summer was what it was for Kamala Harris, but it didn't communicate a message.
And I think we've done a really good job of not just doing engagement for engagement's sake, but making sure that you're learning something, you're taking something away.
Whether it's Tom Homan reciting a love poem to, you know, roses are red, violets are blue.
Come here illegally.
We'll deport you.
I think it's pretty clear what takeaway you're getting from that kind of thing.
So we found a way to marry it.
But I think it starts with us all believing with what the president wants to espouse.
The gloves are off in all senses.
I mean, you see Stephen Chung's ex feed is.
It's pretty aggressive and doing pushback.
We've got the rapid response accounts that are constantly doing stuff.
Is it true that Chung has started wearing the bowler hat at all times?
Is that that rumor that's been going around?
So it's not at all times.
He puts it on when he's up to no good.
He'll transform into odd job when he's about to dunk on a reporter for fake news.
It's been on all this week.
I haven't seen him not wear it.
I'm sure he showers with a thing on this week.
I think so as well.
Again, but...
This was a meme that had been taken off and then Chung sees it and then someone, I guess, wore a bowler hat for the St. Patrick's Day that he puts it on and then it just becomes a meme in and of itself.
And so I do think that there's something in the philosophy of memes, if there is such a thing, where...
A meme is a distillation of truth and a distillation of reality.
And this is why the left can't meme because they deny reality.
And so if you're not communicating a reality or a message or anything of substance, your memes won't travel.
So this is why when you mentioned Kamala Harris and Brad Summer, nobody understood what that meant.
Right. Unless you're a specific fan of that album and that artist, it just wasn't conveying anything to anyone.
Whereas these are styles and aesthetics that might be added to a central Yeah, and I think you touched on something that's really important, and it's something that we...
We strive to fight for every day here, and that is, you know, the other side of the aisle, their entire policy platform for at least the last four years, arguably a lot longer, has been relying upon gaslighting the American public into believing what's going on in front of you isn't real, right?
Gas prices are going up.
No, they're not.
You're shopping at the wrong gas stations.
Companies are price gouging.
None of those things are found to be true.
Well, the media didn't talk about egg prices for four years.
Right. And then all of a sudden, January 20th, 2025, huge issue, huge issue, huge issue.
Why has it gone down?
He's been in office three hours.
And then when it did go down, they just stopped talking about it, moved to something else.
I've actually been going back and forth with the gas buddy guy.
Have you seen the gas buddy guy?
Oh, yeah.
Does it the talk show?
Yeah. I've been going back and forth with him because he had this huge thing about how the tariffs are going to cause gas prices to shoot through the roof.
And actually, gas prices have plummeted.
So every time there's a headline like that, I always tag him and put a screenshot of his tweet up.
I love that.
And he gets so mad at me.
He's like, well, the tariffs were shifted.
Something was left up.
Hey, man.
Hey. No.
And you know what?
Just speaking on this, there's a three word phrase that I want everyone to repeat.
And that is let Trump cook.
And that's all that he's done.
He's not let us down once.
He's thinking things through in a way that disrupts the status quo here in Washington.
And it's like for 24 hours, everyone's hair was on fire.
Oh, this is going to be the end of everything.
And we ended up getting everything we needed.
We secured our border even further.
We're stopping fentanyl.
I mean, it's absurd to me how many times you've got to do the same song and dance over and over again.
You're referring to a group of people that I lovingly like to call the black pillars.
On online.
And the black pillars have to go.
So folks who don't know, because we're deep in the meme talk here, the black pill.
So to be white-pilled means you're hopeful, you're optimistic.
So I'm white-pilled on Trump.
I'm white-pilled.
I believe that this is a positive movement for our country.
I believe the Make America Great Again movement is positive.
Does that mean that every single day is going to be like this incredible?
No, it's reality.
It's real life.
But the The people who embrace despair, it's like they want to see him fail because either they backed the wrong horse in the primary or they don't like that he doesn't support a certain issue that's their pet issue or something like that.
And so they're looking for ways to get at him and to snipe at him.
Whereas you look at the overall trajectory of things, look where we were just a couple of weeks ago in this country versus where we are now.
And it's night and day from the previous administration.
That's why I always kind of tell people, it's like, guys, step back for a second.
Step back and understand that just because your specific thing isn't trending today doesn't mean that in a week from now, like, oh my gosh, today we just rolled up MS-13 leaders and he just revoked...
Jack, we rolled out an election integrity EO this week.
I mean, that's something we've been talking about doing for a long time.
Is that actually tied to federal funding the states?
I've got to go back and take a look.
A lot of these EOs are stepping stones even for their big actions.
I love that.
I think that might be in the works because I love the idea of this is what they did.
I think to me the model is Maine and the governor of Maine saying we're not going to abide by your trans men in women's sports.
And then it was fine.
You're going to lose all federal funding.
That's the model.
Because you can get states to hop to very quickly when you pull all that funding.
And to put a finer point on some of the things you're talking about here, as you're thinking through and you're processing why they think this way, because I think it's an important understanding where we go over the next four years, why the opponents of the president's agenda feel the way they do.
And it comes from this deep-rooted insecurity, right?
They have no idea what they're going to do once we figure out where all the fraud, waste and abuse is.
And once they can no longer pretend to run on that as a platform, they don't know what they're going to do with that.
And again, it comes back to a lack of substance that I think is riddled here in Washington, D.C. It's horrible.
Because they don't tell you what the real substance is.
They don't tell you that...
It's a show game.
Hey, look over here.
Look over here.
In fact, the NGO system that we...
It's amazing.
They call it a non-governmental organization, and yet all the funds come from government.
Right. And so you have a situation where, okay, here's so-and-so who works for the department of whatever, and their wife runs the NGO, and the NGO gets funding from the same department, and they live in the same house.
It's all, it's okay, my wife pays.
It's just corruption.
Any other country, if this was Russia, we'd say that's just corruption.
That's an oligarch paying off his family.
China, we would say the same thing, the highest levels of the Chinese Communist Party and Zhongnanhai behind closed doors.
But here in America, oh no, it's just the system.
That's just how things are.
What I love about it, to take it back even further, is that it's now cool to cut funding.
It's cool to find fraud, waste and abuse.
And I think that's...
Ultimately, going to be one of the biggest takeaways of our first 100 days, at least, is that we've just completely and totally changed the culture.
Everyone, the entire cabinet goes home.
They're filming these selfie videos all day that are like, hey, just got another ten million dollars worth of, you know, transgender surgeries for no reason we've been funding.
Can you believe this?
In Uzbekistan.
Yeah, like it never makes any sense.
And I think that's really important.
Like we're culturally.
We're reaching a turning point, for lack of a better phrase.
We love you, Charlie.
We love you, Charlie.
But we're going to see things totally differently going forward.
So, you know, these midterms are going to be really interesting because it's now in vogue to be conservative for maybe the first time that I can remember.
It's at least in vogue to be a Trump supporter, right?
I'd be curious to hear what you think about that.
Well, this is something that we identified, I think, those of us who actually understood what was going on in 2024 during the election, we referred to these, just a whole special item this earlier in the week, and we referred to these as sort of like your, people talk about low-prop voters, but we refer to these as no-prop voters.
Just the person who's totally not plugged into the political process, they're not watching human events daily, they're not watching Real American Boys.
They're missing out.
Yeah, totally missing out.
But you know what I mean?
We all know, we've got friends like this, and they're in the, you know, they listen to podcasts, but they listen to...
You know, MMA podcasts.
Listen to sports.
They're into sports betting.
They do FanDuel.
You know, they just have other interests.
And America is an interesting place and there's lots of interesting things.
And so what Trump was able to do by reaching out to new media and specifically reaching out through the sports world and through other sort of male adjacent, but it's with a lot of female overlap as well.
Well, they have no message for those people either.
He was able to reach out and say, hey, I can represent you and I can bring you on board in politics.
And this is something that we've seen.
You mentioned the midterms.
It's going to be interesting to see if the Republican Party can bring those people out to vote when Trump isn't on the ballot.
But at the same time, you have to find ways to reach out to those people because Trump's brand right now...
Is more popular than it's ever been.
Right. And it's absolutely ever been.
And so this coalition is real.
The coalition exists.
The coalition is there, but it's going to take work to keep it together.
Everybody thought Obama would keep his coalition together.
It completely fell apart when he left.
So that's going to be something that that's actually something I think about all the time is how do we keep this all going, keep the spirit going, keep the substance going?
Look, the president's going to be here for four years.
I think we all know.
Donald Trump's not going anywhere anytime soon, so he'll be around.
He'll certainly be around.
But it's this idea that the worm has termed that in the popular culture, you have to be, you know, open to this.
And you can't, I'm sorry, Disney wanted to have a Snow White who was running around and cursing out half the country.
And they made a huge bet.
Remember, and that film was filmed during the height of COVID and during the height of wokeness.
And so they made a huge bet that Kamala was going to win.
And they lost, and they're finding that out at the ballot box.
How many times have you watched a clip of her watching her own movie in an empty theater?
So my video of that is up to 9.5 million views, and I think at least 4.7 million of those are me.
That's insane.
No, but you're right.
But that's an example of where we are as a country now.
People don't want that.
No, they want pragmatism, and I think that's why this has really taken hold.
Kaelin Doerr, if people want to follow the White House, if they want to keep in touch with everything that's actually coming out of here, where should they go?
We should follow the White House on all social platforms.
You should follow everyone here today at Podcast Row.
And we're going to keep doing this over and over and over.
This is something we're going to make a theme.
This is the single most transparent administration in U.S. history.
This is a huge part of it.
Making sure we get feedback from you guys is the most important thing.
All right, Kalen Doerr, you guys know Real America's Voice.
Welcome home.
Come back anytime.
Thanks, brother.
I appreciate it.
I want to say thank you, of course, to the White House, to the press team for bringing us in today for arranging these interviews, giving us a behind the scenes inside look to what's going on inside the White House.
This is a testament to how the Trump administration is now reaching out to new media.
To new audiences, and it's not about just us here about Human Events Daily, but everyone that we go out and touch as we share this information and tell the truth about what's going on behind the scenes of the White House here for you in the confines of the incredible People's House of the White House, really making it the People's House once more.
