	This is what happens when the fourth turning meets fifth generation warfare.
	Safe season.
	A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran.
	This is Human Events with your host, Jack Pisovic.
	Christ is king.
	We needed them.
	Thank God they were here.
	We really needed them.
	That was the first two or three days after we solved their problems.
	Then he said, well, I think we could have maybe done it.
	No, he was told what to say.
	He said, you go back to your files and see what he said.
	He said, thank goodness they came.
	If I didn't go and put our military there, or National Guard in that case, and we'll go military if we have to, but the National Guard went there.
	They were very effective.
	If we didn't do that, I don't think you would have had the Olympics in Los Angeles.
	The place would have been just like the 25,000 houses that burned down, where, by the way, the governor ought to focus on getting their permits.
	You know, the federal permits are given.
	Those are the hard ones, and they were given a long time ago.
	People can't rebuild their house because they can't get permits from the state and the city.
	And they ought to focus on that because it's very upsetting.
	I went there right after the fires.
	I walked the streets and I met a lot of great people that wanted to rebuild their homes.
	We took care of it from the federal standpoint.
	But they're not taking care of it from the city side, the mayor and the governor.
	They're not getting their permits.
	They can't build their houses.
	Go ahead, please.
	Mr. President, thank you.
	Do you think this summit and the incentives for peace you were putting on the table could end up rewarding Putin for his invasion of Ukraine?
	And what kind of signal do you think that could potentially send to other aggressors?
	No, I don't think it's a reward.
	I think that what we have is a situation that should never have started, should have never started.
	It didn't start under me, and for four years it wasn't even discussed.
	And I could see it was going to happen after I left.
	I could see what was happening.
	Everything that we did was wrong.
	Everything that was done was wrong.
	Everybody's to blame.
	Putin's to blame.
	They're all to blame.
	This is a war that would have never happened.
	The other question on L.A., Mr. President, earlier today, the Washington, D.C. police chief issued an executive order allowing metropolitan police officers conducting traffic stops to notify federal immigration and customs enforcement about undocumented immigrants that they encounter.
	Yet the city has a long-standing pro-immigration policy, including allowing non-citizens to vote in local elections.
	Which is ridiculous.
	And limiting cooperation with federal immigration agencies.
	Did your administration pressure the D.C. police chief to review and repeal these policies?
	And will you require other cities to roll back similar policies to avoid possible federal takeover of local laws?
	So what you're saying is that it was a very positive thing.
	When they stop people, they find they're illegal, they report them, they give them to us, etc.
	That's a very positive thing.
	I have heard that.
	It just happened.
	That's a great step.
	That's a great step if they're doing that.
	Yeah, I think that's going to happen all over the country.
	We want to stop crime.
	I think if the Democrats aren't strong at this issue, they won't be able to do it.
	I think this is a bigger issue than all of the other ridiculous things that they like open borders.
	Well, open borders is bad.
	Open borders has caused a lot of this problem.
	Allowing millions and millions.
	I think 24 million people were allowed to come into our country.
	Many of these people from prisons, from jails, from mental institutions.
	This was the Biden policy.
	And I don't believe it was him.
	He was never there before.
	It was the people that encircled this very beautiful desk, the Resolute Desk.
	Radical left lunatics who were smart, but radical left.
	And I'm very happy to hear what you just said because I've heard that.
	And Mr. President on LA, if I may, the mother of a 15-year-old California boy was briefly detained at gunpoint in a case of mistaken identity.
	The LA USD superintendent says that surveillance video shows armed agents wearing police and border patrol insignia.
	Given the National Guard, the border control, ICE agents, they're not trained in local policing.
	What specific steps are you taking to ensure that young people are not put in harm's way with these types of operations?
	Yeah, what they are trained in is common sense, and they're very tough people.
	And they have great common sense, and they are highly trained.
	I heard the mayor of LA was saying, oh, they're not trained this way.
	I heard this character from, where was he from?
	They talk about him as a candidate.
	He's got no chance.
	The governor of Maryland, I watched him this morning saying that the governor of Maryland, yeah, they say maybe he'll be a president.
	He's not presidential timber at all.
	But I heard him today talking about how the National Guard or the military is not trained in police, but they're trained in common sense.
	And they're trained in not allowing people to burn down buildings and bomb buildings and shoot people and all of the things.
	They've done a great job.
	Again, if we didn't send them, and very importantly, if we didn't send them into Los Angeles, Los Angeles, the rest of Los Angeles would have been burned down to the ground.
	When you look at Minnesota, Minneapolis, I sent them into Minneapolis because the governor wouldn't make the call.
	If I didn't do that, you wouldn't have Minneapolis.
	It wouldn't be, I don't think it would be existent today.
	You remember the famous scene burning over the CNN anchor's shoulder?
	He said, everything seems to be very peaceful.
	And behind him, the whole city's burning down.
	So you had the whack job governor who ran for vice president and made a fool out of himself.
	You would have had, I saved that city, I'll tell you, I saved that city.
	So the bottom line is these are very tough people that are trained in a thing called common sense, and they're also trained in doing what we're talking about right now.
	And you watch Crime Stop, but you wouldn't have Los Angeles, it wouldn't be existent today.
	We would have had to cancel the Olympics if I let that go on.
	Will you pressure Israel to allow journalists into Gaza to cover the humanitarian efforts the U.S. is pursuing?
	I'd like to see that happen, Chair.
	I would like to see it happen.
	I would be very fine with journalists going in.
	It's a very dangerous position to be in, as you know, if you're a journalist.
	But I would like to see it.
	And Ontario's Brazil, Mexico, and Latin America are getting closer to China.
	And they say it's partly because of the tariffs you're imposing in those countries.
	Are you concerned them getting closer to China?
	No, not at all.
	I'm not concerned at all.
	They can do what they want.
	You know, none of them are doing very well.
	And what we're doing in terms of economics, we're blowing everyone away, including China.
	We're doing better than any other country in the world right now.
	Brazil has been a horrible trading partner in terms of tariffs.
	As you know, they charge us tremendous tariffs, far, far more than we were charging them.
	We weren't charging anything, essentially.
	And Brazil has some very bad laws happening where they took a president and they put him in jail or they're trying to jail him.
	And I happen to know the man.
	And I will tell you, I'm pretty good at people.
	I think he's an honest man.
	I think what they've done, this is an electric.
	This is really a political execution that they're trying to do with Bolsonaro.
	I think that's terrible.
	But they also treated us very badly as trading partners for many, many years.
	One of the worst, one of the worst countries on earth for that.
	They charge tremendous tariffs and they made it very difficult to do anything.
	So now they're being charged 50% tariffs and they're not happy, but that's the way it goes.
	Mr. Hussain, Mr. Lisa, on D.C. Concert, on D.C. crime, are you concerned at all that some federal officers that are helping DC police might be being pulled away from other high-priority assignments?
	Like what?
	Like what?
	Terrorism first.
	Oh, really?
	Terrorism?
	They'll stop terrorism as part of what they're doing right now.
	No.
	The soldiers that we have, first of all, we have plenty of them, long beyond what you have here.
	We're just using a very small force.
	You know, in Washington, D.C., they have thousands of police.
	They have a lot of police, but the police weren't allowed to do their job.
	We have a lot of great ones.
	And you have some that weren't so good, to be honest, but they weren't allowed to do their job.
	But now they are allowed to do their job.
	And essentially, it's only two days, but you look at the numbers already, they're dropping.
	And no, they're not being pulled off for anything.
	Mr. President, as you know, there were some very concerning reports about crime statistics.
	Police are manipulating crime data to downplay crime in D.C. Will the administration release its own crime statistics to counter their misinformation?
	And will those individuals who are intentionally misrepresenting crime data and fudging the books, like you said, be penalized for endangering the public?
	They are under investigation right now.
	They are giving us phony crime stats, just like they gave other stats in the financial world, but they're phony crime stats.
	And Washington, D.C. is at its worst point, and it will soon be at its best point.
	You're going to have a very safe, you're going to have a crime-free city.
	I mean, I say that.
	You're going to have virtually a crime-free city.
	And these are strong men, but the criminals are strong men and women, but they're strong men.
	And these are people that don't play games.
	We're not playing games.
	These are criminals we're dealing with.
	And they treated people.
	They took one of the people that worked for us the other day.
	You saw the beating, the pounding, 10 against one, and they pounded the hell out of him.
	He's lucky to be alive.
	He's barely almost killed.
	And we're not going to have that happening, please.
	Mr. Tulsi Gabbard declassified more documents last night related to the Russia gay hoax.
	She's doing a great job, by the way.
	That was another fake story.
	I'm very happy with the job she's doing.
	That's right.
	They declassified some terrible documents talking about Democrats and what they did.
	Radical left lunatics.
	It showed that then DNI, James Clapper, sent out emails to IC officials saying that it would be a team sport to push then the debunked 2017 ICA report and that it might need them to compromise on their normal modalities.
	What's your reaction to the latest declassification?
	And in your view, sir, what does real accountability look like for the players?
	It's incredible what we're finding.
	Absolute proof of guilt.
	And we'll see what happens.
	But Clapper and Comey and that whole group of criminals, they're criminals.
	And they made it very tough.
	You know, they did the fake Russia, Russia, Russia witch hunt that lasted for two years.
	And I got totally exonerated.
	There was no doubt about it.
	They should have done it in one day, not two years.
	But there was a whole scheme to try and demean Trump so that I couldn't win an election.
	And that is a criminal group of people.
	They're sick people.
	And they're criminals, and they should be taken care of.
	Does Putin have a strong hand tomorrow?
	Well, he came to our country, and I heard CNN fake news talking about that that was a big win for him.
	Normally, you would say the opposite, but they said, oh, it's a big win that he came here.
	Normally, I would say the opposite, you know, he came here.
	I think that President Putin would like to see a deal.
	I think if I weren't president, he would take over all of Ukraine.
	It's a war that should have never happened.
	If I weren't president, in my opinion, he would much rather take off, take over all of Ukraine.
	But I am president, and he's not going to mess around with me.
	Mr. President, on Russia, Mr. President, would you support or agree to reducing NATO troops in Europe in countries like Poland in order to get Russia to agree to a peace deal?
	That hasn't been put before me, and I'll think about that for later.
	But it has not been put before me.
	Go ahead.
	Is anything less than an unconditional and immediate ceasefire a victory for the U.S.?
	Tomorrow?
	Yes.
	Well, tomorrow we'll see.
	I say, you know, I don't know where that comes from.
	It's sort of not a good question.
	I would say that tomorrow, all I want to do is set the table for the next meeting, which should happen shortly.
	I'd like to see it happen very quickly, very shortly after this meeting.
	I'd like to see it actually happen maybe in Alaska where we just stay because it's so much easier.
	But I think that I think it's going to be very interesting.
	We're going to find out where everybody stands, and I'll know within the first two minutes, three minutes, four minutes, or five minutes.
	We tend to find out whether or not we're going to have a good meeting or a bad meeting.
	And if it's a bad meeting, it'll end very quickly.
	And if it's a good meeting, we're going to end up getting peace in the pretty near future.
	Okay?
	How about one more?
	Mr. President, thank you, Mr. President.
	On the Smithsonian, I know that your administration is seeking to weed out a lot of this left-wing spam that's in the museums, but we're seeing from people like Brian Stelter or other commentators that they're insinuating that you are trying to change history according to your narrative.
	What's your response to that, and is there anything you particularly like to say?
	Well, we want the museums to treat our country fairly.
	We want the museums to talk about the history of our country in a fair manner, not in a woke manner or in a racist manner, which is what many of them, not all of them, but many of them are doing.
	Our museums have an obligation to represent what happened in our country over the years, good and bad, but what happened over the years in an accurate way.
	Thank you very much, everybody.
	Thank you, guys.
	Thank you, Fresh.
	Thank you.
	Thanks, guys.
	Cut it out right here.
	Thank you, Fresh.
	Thanks, guys.
	Cut it out right this way.
	Right this way.
	Thanks, guys.
	Keep coming.
	Keep going.
	All right, folks, that was President Trump.
	He's now finished up in the Oval Office.
	We just saw a huge round-robin of press conferences.
	Started originally with his talk on Social Security, NET, and then moved very quickly to the Anchorage Accords.
	He spoke at length about tomorrow's historic meeting with President Vladimir Putin of Russia, where the Russian delegation and people have been tracking online these various planes that are taking flight from Moscow all the way across to Anchorage,
	Alaska, part of the delegation already arriving, diplomats, staff, and then, of course, President Trump scheduled to fly early tomorrow to Anchorage, Alaska, where they will be meeting on Elmendorf Air Force Base.
	Historic meeting.
	No Russian leader has ever set foot on the soil of Alaska before.
	The human events researchers have been digging into this.
	And it seems that even during the time when Alaska, as many people know, was itself part of the Russian Empire, Alaska discovered by Russian explorer Bering at one point, that at no point did a Russian leader ever actually visit Alaska that we've been able to find evidence of.
	This will, in fact, be the first visit.
	And so meeting there with President Trump, also President Trump making news at one point saying that there will be a second meeting.
	He wants Zelensky and other European leaders potentially at that meeting, and he wants it to take place on the territory of Alaska as well.
	So we could be seeing an extension, several rounds of the Anchorage Accords with the first round, of course, the summit taking place tomorrow.
	Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily here live, Washington, D.C. Today is August 14th, 2025, Anno Domini.
	President Trump also mentioned at great length yesterday in just moments ago this crackdown on crime in the urban centers, crackdown on crime being really first focused on by the federal law enforcement and the federalization of the Washington, D.C. Metro Police.
	Law enforcement getting assaulted last night in America's capital, all law enforcement that was out there trying to clean up the streets.
	And they were assaulted.
	In fact, one of the people who conducted an assault is apparently, and he's caught on video, an employee of the Department of Justice.
	And Cash Patel has vowed that he will be arrested.
	I believe he already was apprehended, and that charges will be filed against him.
	So you see this massive crackdown by President Trump coming in, also announcing that he wants to roll this out, National Guard and others, to various cities in the United States.
	And people are saying, why?
	Why does it matter?
	Who cares?
	And I hear this a lot of times.
	I say, who cares about the cities, the blue cities?
	Just let them go.
	And I, very famously, back in 2020, had this refrain, get out of cities.
	I always say this all the time, get out of cities, get out of cities.
	Why did I say that?
	I said, get out of cities in 2020 as a tactical retreat.
	We don't have the numbers.
	We don't have the ability.
	We don't have the response mechanisms.
	And then that continued during the Biden and Patriot crackdowns of the Biden era, the Biden regime.
	However, we're now presented with a new opportunity.
	Now we have President Trump firmly ensconced in power And firmly focused on this issue.
	And so I wrote something on X earlier today that has just gone, it's gone absolutely viral.
	And it's been something that I've been kind of rattling around in the little gray cells for a couple of years now.
	And I was talking about the difference between city cons and rural cons, a city conservative or a rural conservative.
	And what does this mean?
	And so here, what I've said, you know, is that it's a coalition.
	There's a coalition taking place between rural conservatives and city conservatives.
	City cons are not rural cons, because it's simply like this.
	When you have seen hell, it changes you.
	A right-winger from a blue area just hits different.
	And in fact, right-wingers from blue areas are not the same.
	They're not built the same.
	They are built different.
	And so for decades, the American right has been dominated by this image of the rural conservative, the pickup driving small-town patriot, deep roots in red state soil.
	You love this guy.
	You can't help but love this guy, the J.D. Vance kind of guy.
	But there's a new archetype that's emerged on the new right, and that's the CityCon, the city conservative, the disaffected conservative trapped behind enemy lines in a blue state metropolis.
	And when it comes to law and order, mass immigration and crime, the city con is often far more radical than his rural cousin.
	Why is this?
	Because the rural con typically lives in a place where crime is relatively low.
	I hope immigration is minimal, though, of course, we know that's rapidly changing, and the local sheriff probably knows his name.
	Problems are abstract.
	They're filtered through national headlines.
	RuralCon support votes Republican, supports the police, waves the flag, goes to church, and daily life reinforces the idea that America is still salvageable without drastic change.
	But then you have the city cons.
	And the city con, and by the way, I'm not trying to like say one is better than the other or anything like this.
	No, I'm talking about a situation and a dynamic that exists.
	The city con lives in another reality entirely.
	He has seen the tent cities, the open-air drug markets, the unchecked shoplifting, the revolving door justice system.
	He watches as waves of illegal immigration and Section 8 hordes transform entire neighborhoods in real time, not in theory.
	You deal with the DA offices that refuse to prosecute, the Soros types, the defunded police departments, and you see the media gaslighting you in front of your own eyes.
	So for the city conservative, this isn't a debate about policy.
	It's about survival.
	He knows the system is not just broken, it's hostile.
	And that lived experience breeds a harder edge, harsher penalties for criminals, zero tolerance for illegal entry, and a willingness to challenge sacred cows about policing and public order and public cleanliness.
	It is no accident that the MAGA movement was born on a golden escalator on Fifth Avenue in New York City by a New York City billionaire.
	The CityCon is fighting for an America that has already been stolen in his own zip code, fighting for his home.
	And now the situation has gotten so bad, or at least it had gotten so bad until President Trump returned, that many of these rural areas are now also under assault by these very same forces.
	The Obama administration and the Biden regime airdropping migrants into places like Springfield, Ohio, or places like Dearborn, Michigan, and the rest and the rest.
	We all know the story.
	The Somalians at the Mall of America.
	So the time has come for a coalition of the willing, if you will, an alliance between the brethren of the city conservatives and the rural conservatives.
	We will take back America.
	And when I say America, I don't mean just one part of it.
	I mean the whole thing.
	We'll be right back.
	Jack Posobiec, Real America's Voice, Human Events Dale.
	Possibility of peace as we walk forward.
	Colonel, how are you?
	Great, Jack.
	Good to be with you.
	Do you view a positive outcome coming out of the meeting tomorrow?
	I know there's a lot of skepticism surrounding this.
	I don't think I'm expecting a terribly negative outcome.
	I'm just not expecting anything of substance really to emerge.
	My hope is that we will not repeat the mistake that was made by Tony Blinken and his little delegation when they met with the Chinese foreign minister and his delegation in Alaska.
	That meeting was a catastrophe because Blinken and his friends went in and tried to lecture the Chinese and tell them what was wrong with them and what they needed to do.
	And of course that failed miserably.
	The real question here is what are the facts that we can agree on?
	And that's something I have no idea what's being discussed between the Russians and us.
	You can't go into a meeting like this unless you can agree on the facts.
	So that's the first question.
	I don't know if they can agree on all the facts because I continue to hear sort of nonsense narratives come out of President Trump that have no relation to reality when it comes to the war in Ukraine.
	The second thing is we talk about can we avoid World War III?
	Well, that's easy for us.
	We have no vital strategic interest in Ukraine and I wish that President Trump would get back to that.
	We never have and I don't think we ever will.
	So the one interest that we have is the same one we had when the war began that we ignored and that is we want stability and we want prosperity and to get that you need order and peace.
	So we can do our part.
	The problem is he's got to deal with the European allies.
	And in specific, that's not everybody in Europe.
	That's really London, Paris, and Berlin who seemed committed to support this man, Zelensky, and his criminal regime in Kiev.
	So under those circumstances, it's a tough road for President Trump.
	It certainly is.
	And we notice, of course, that Secretary Besant was announced on the delegation.
	So I saw Rubio, J.D. Vance, Besant, and of course, Steve Witkoff as well.
	Notably, the Secretary of Defense appears, at least from what I've seen so far, doesn't appear to be going.
	So it seems though that, and there's this sort of information that's been leaked in the UK Telegraph.
	We're taking that, of course, with a grain of salt.
	But it seems, though, that President Trump may be trying to offer some sort of trade deal to the Russians.
	We've seen this in the past with the Ukrainians to establish some sort of balance.
	We know that he's used trade deals in the past.
	Do you think that's something that could be on the table?
	Well, you know, I think the Russians, just like President Trump, I think they all want to normalize relations.
	We should have good relations with Russia.
	There is no fundamental reason for conflict between the United States and Russia.
	I think President Trump has always known that.
	Go back to 2015, 2016, and the statements he made then.
	They're all still accurate today.
	So bringing along Besant is a good thing because there's conceivably an opportunity for some serious discussions about progress in that particular area.
	The problem, as I said before, is that this NATO alliance, which is frankly on life support, it's a zombie, is more a burden than an asset now to us.
	It has been for some time.
	Now, I think it's a real burden.
	You have London in particular and MI6 working with the CIA and Mossad.
	They want war in Ukraine.
	But that's not in our interest.
	We have an interest in ending it and putting a stop to the killing.
	That's what President Trump has said.
	He can do that.
	But the only way to do that is to say, look, let's acknowledge the truth on the ground.
	Where are the forces now?
	And we can agree to something.
	I think President Trump can.
	The problem is you turn to London, Paris, and Berlin, and they want to shove this man Zelensky in everybody's face.
	And I don't know about you, but the last time I saw Zelensky in the Oval Office, I wanted him to be picked up and thrown out of the nearest window.
	I thought the troll was despicable and disgusting and completely disrespectful towards the president and our country.
	But, you know, obviously I hold minority opinion.
	And this guy, Zelensky, is still with us.
	But I think President Trump is in a position where he can come out of this and say, look, we've come to some arrangements on different levels.
	One, we want to talk again about nuclear weapons.
	And I think he would like to do that.
	Go back to the INF treaty.
	Look at areas where we have mutual interest in ratcheting down the nuclear threat.
	Number two, we really do want to do business and we want a framework for going forward regarding how we're going to interact economically in the world.
	Get out of this weaponized tariff business.
	And I think he would like to do that.
	The problem is then you get to Paris, London, and Berlin.
	And the only way we're going to make any progress with those people is if those governments are thrown out.
	They need to be thrown out because they're killing their respective nations.
	What you're seeing in DC is what you're seeing all over those places.
	It all needs to stop and they've got to stop it.
	We can't fix that.
	And I think President Trump knows that as well.
	So I think he can come out and say we've made some progress here, but otherwise, I've decided that we have done as much as we can do.
	And we are now leaving.
	We are pulling our forces out, our people who are in Ukraine.
	We're getting out and we're suspending any future aid unless it's humanitarian to Ukraine.
	Now, I don't know if he can do that, but I think in his heart of hearts, that's what he'd like to do.
	And certainly we're seeing the rolling collapse in eastern Ukraine as we speak, these areas facing encirclement.
	And really, these are the last fortified areas up until the river itself.
	It's open country for the most part, all the way up to the Never River, where the Russian forces are pushing out in a number of salients right now along the contact line.
	So the real question is, from the Russian perspective, is why stop?
	I've got just about one minute.
	Colonel McGregor, unfortunately, a little truncated because of President Trump's Oval Office speech earlier today.
	Where can people go to follow you and get access to your work?
	Oh, anywhere on YouTube.
	You can go to dougmcgregor.com, my website.
	That's easy.
	But let's hope that President Trump can shed the burden of the European constraints and break out and do what is interested, what is in the interest of the United States, which is to repair relations with Russia and get out of this terrible, pointless war.
	That's my hope.
	And by the way, I think he's on the right track here in the United States.
	And here is where we must focus.
	We're going to win or lose as a people and as a nation, not overseas, but here.
	Focus on the homeland.
	That's the whole point of MAGA.
	That's the entire point of America first.
	Colonel Douglas McGregor, thank you for joining us once again here at Human Events Daily.
	Right back, Real America's Voice.
	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 should be getting policies.
	All right, Jack Potobic, we're back live here, Human Events Daily, Washington, D.C. And we're talking about this preview of the Anchorage Accords, as we've dubbed this year at Human Events.
	Wanted to bring on Matt Boyle now from Breitbart News, who just conducted an incredible interview round robin with President Trump.
	Want to bring him on now.
	Matt, how are you?
	Jack, how are you, sir?
	Yeah, we spent a lot of time with President Trump in Scotland at his Golf Resort, Turnbury.
	And I can tell you he is very focused on trying to reach peace deals and trade deals.
	And that was the big stuff we talked about.
	Right before we sat down, he had succeeded in getting the unconditional immediate ceasefire between Cambodia and Thailand.
	And then the evening before, he got the big trade deal, the biggest trade deal in world history and currently in the world anywhere with between the U.S. and the European Union with Ursula von der Land there.
	And he's since rolled out a trade deal, of course, with Korea, South Korea.
	And I know he's very focused on, you know, and he just got the peace deal between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
	I think that he is very focused on trying to end this.
	This is the big one, right?
	Like ending the war in Ukraine.
	This is a war that Joe Biden's responsible for.
	Kamala Harris was, of course, over there saying crazy things in the lead up to this.
	And I believe that it is ultimately within reach.
	So we'll see as the talks continue here, as the meeting between these two leaders goes forward.
	But Trump and Putin meeting, this is a huge step towards ending the war in Ukraine.
	And I believe we actually have a clip of you with President Trump talking about China.
	Sure.
	Getting along very well with China.
	The trade deal so far is good.
	I actually raised the tariffs.
	At one point, they were 145%, which means you can't do any business.
	But it was a little bit excessive, to put it mildly.
	And basically, that stopped trade between the United States and China for one month.
	And that was not good for China.
	That was, you know, they had a tough period of time.
	We're having very productive discussions with China.
	That's all I can tell you.
	It's a little bit different.
	The China is different.
	The European, interestingly, is the biggest trading deal.
	But the China is very important.
	And there you go, Matt.
	So it's exactly as you were saying.
	This is all about the geopolitics of trade and really looking, I think, at the implications of, as we've always said, President Trump's a businessman.
	He's looking at all of this from the perspective of, does this help the Americans with the average American family when it comes to their prosperity, their wealth, the price of goods, trade, all of it?
	Yeah, and I think that the big picture here is this is all about the U.S. and China.
	Where we stand in the 21st century here is that the Cold War has been over for decades between the United States and the old Soviet Union, which has broken up.
	The Berlin Wall came down.
	The foreign policy establishment here in the United States has been still fighting the Cold War for decades longer than after we won it.
	The question is, is can we effectively change our focus from Russia to China and China as our greatest adversary?
	That being said, that doesn't mean that we have to be confrontational with China, right?
	Like in much the same way you're seeing with Trump meet with Putin, the broader clip there beyond the part that you played there, I had asked the president if he's willing to meet with Xi Jinping.
	There have been talks about President Trump possibly going to China or Xi coming to the White House or somewhere else.
	He mentioned that all of those things are on the table, that he's willing to go to China, that he's willing to host Xi at the White House or to meet him somewhere else in between.
	But that he emphasized that it is China that is asking for that meeting.
	It's not America, right?
	Like it's not the United States.
	Trump isn't clamoring for a meeting with China.
	It's the Chinese that are clamoring for a meeting with Trump because Trump has all the leverage.
	And then that gets to when I interviewed Secretary Besant at our event in Washington, D.C., Secretary Besant told me that the world is with us now, right?
	Because what Trump has done is he has pulled together a coalition of the free world, if you will.
	He's united more than 60% of world gross domestic product with the deals that he's pulled together with Japan and the European Union and the United Kingdom.
	Obviously, we had done that interview with President Trump in Scotland, but with Korea, with Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam.
	So what's happening is that they've pulled together basically a coalition of the willing in the West against in the free world against the communist world.
	And so the rest of the world is with the United States right now.
	And this is exactly what we predicted would happen when you go back to Liberation Day in April.
	All the globalists in the Wall Street Journal crowd and the Wall Street crowd, they were all freaking out about the tariffs.
	Well, what's happened is that they've been proven wrong and President Trump has been proven right, which is that, and this is another thing that I asked the president about, which is that, do you think the critics have egg on their face now?
	And he said that many of them have already apologized to him.
	And you've seen the Wall Street Journal come out and admit that President Trump was right on this and that he has pulled together, or at least some of them have admitted that.
	Not all are the people that work there, but I think their editorial board ran something saying that Trump is winning his trade war.
	But the thing is, is that what he's done is he's pulled Together a global coalition here, and that means that the United States has all the cards.
	And I will tell you this: this isn't from the part of the interview that we aired, but we had a lot of time with President Trump.
	We hung out with him for a little bit before, a little bit after the interview.
	I can tell you, he's somebody who knows, you know, as a guy who wrote the art of the deal, who knows how to negotiate.
	He knows and he knew in the moment when we were talking to him that he has the cards.
	He's got the leverage.
	You hear him talk about this with regard to Zelensky, right?
	Like in the Russia-Ukraine situation.
	He's like, you know, you don't have the cards, right?
	Like, remember that meeting, the blowup in the Oval Office?
	He said to Zelensky, you don't have the cards.
	He's saying he doesn't have the leverage.
	Well, Trump knows that the United States has the cards as the leverage that we've never had before because of what President Trump has been able to pull together here with using the economic might of the United States.
	Peace through strength was a core part of the Reagan doctrine, but the strength that Reagan used was military strength.
	It was military might.
	What President Trump has done in his first term, he started this, and now in his second term, he's really fleshing it out.
	He's using the economic might of America in addition to the military might of America that we saw under Reagan to truly implement peace through strength.
	And this is why you're seeing peace deals around the world, from India and Pakistan to Rwanda and Congo to Azerbaijan and Armenia to Cambodia and Thailand.
	Again, he's using the economic might of the United States to accomplish a better world.
	And this was the biggest thing that I asked him about.
	I was like, what does the world look like?
	What does America look like when you're done and America's great again?
	Right.
	Like, and he said at the end of the interview, he said it's a more peaceful world and a more peaceful country where people can prosper.
	I'm paraphrasing him here, of course.
	But the point is, is that that seems to be the bigger picture goal here.
	So hopefully, as President Trump enters this summit with Vladimir Putin in Anchorage, the Anchorage Accords, as you call them, that they're able to reach an agreement.
	And this is something that everybody in the political establishment, the foreign policy establishment, did not think was possible.
	But it does appear within reach as the two leaders head there.
	So we'll see.
	Cautiously optimistic here that this will be a huge step in the right direction.
	Yeah, I couldn't agree more.
	I mean, when you look at some of this, the biggest piece of what Trump could do in terms of pivoting America and the American foreign policy jurisprudence, American military strategy, et cetera, towards China would be affecting basically a reverse Kissinger.
	And a reverse Kissinger, of course, would be affecting a Sino-Soviet split, whereby rather than sideling up with the Chinese like Kissinger did in the Nixon administration with Nixon's great visit to China, what you would instead affect is get America and Russia to be then aligned.
	Maybe you're not going to get the Russians to be hostile to China in that sense, but maybe drive a wedge between them and the rest of the BRICS nations.
	And when you look at what President Trump's been doing with the tariffs, it's obvious, look, India, Brazil, South Africa, okay?
	So he's going down the list of the BRICS with every letter other than China.
	So Brazil, India, South Africa, and then the next one is Russia.
	And then the final one would be China.
	That's the final piece of it.
	It's obviously his strategy.
	Final minute to you, Matt Boyle.
	Yeah, and the thing I would say is that that's exactly what they're trying to do.
	I asked Secretary Rubio about this.
	I interviewed Secretary Rubio back in February at the State Department, and we did a huge, you know, 30, 40-minute on-camera video interview, and people can go back and find it.
	I asked him exactly that question about is this a reverse Nixon goes to China, right?
	Like this is Trump goes to Russia, Trump goes to Moscow.
	And that seems to be what's going on here.
	Now, it's taken a long time for the president to be able to get all the leverage to the point where he can get there.
	But that exactly is the strategy here.
	Now, they also deeply understand.
	Rubio gets this, President Trump gets it, Vice President Vance gets it.
	The whole team understands that Russia is never going to fully turn on China there, but they won't be a full junior partner of the Chinese Communist Party if the United States is successful here.
	So we'll see.
	But there's a lot of talk that there is a big economic component to the meeting heading into tomorrow.
	Like, for instance, the Russians took over an American company called Glive Product.
	I hear that's going to be on the Super Bassett Trevor.
	Jack is a great guy.
	He's written a fantastic book.
	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 Poseila Curio back live Human Events Daily, Real America's Voice.
	We're on with Matt Boyle, Breitbart News.
	Got cut off a little bit talking about the Anchorage Accords and the way out of it.
	Matt Boyle, back to you.
	I want to get you to finish your point.
	Yeah, I was just saying that there's a massive economic component of this U.S.-Russia meeting.
	There are reports emerging that the U.S. is going to really press the Russians on their seizure of an American company called Glav Product.
	It's like a canned foods maker.
	It's like the Campbell Super something of Russia, but it's owned by an American businessman, Lenin Smirnov.
	And so where we hear the president will push on that.
	But then also talking about broader economic opportunities between the two nations.
	And so if the president is able to open up, you know, an economic channels with the Russians and there's talk about minerals with the Ukrainians, et cetera, then that can help flip the script back to the point where the Russians stop supplanting and doing or stop doing everything that the Chinese want, right?
	Like so they stop becoming being a junior partner to Xi Jinping and become more of a neutral player in the whole thing.
	And that's what Secretary Rubio, Secretary Besson, President Trump, Vice President Vance have all made clear is their intent with this broader peace through strength economic component throughout the course of the year.
	Couldn't agree more.
	Matt Boyle, where can people go to follow and get your stuff?
	Just MBOIO1 on X Twitter and at RealMatt Boyle on TrueSocial.
	And just go to Reitbart.com.
	Our team's working around the clock.
	Appreciate it, man.
	Great job.
	And congrats on an incredible series of interviews.
	All right, folks, coming up, we've got Larry Ward here because I'm going to shift gears a little bit.
	He's got a new op-ed up at humanevents.com.
	And this is really interesting.
	So Larry's been talking about AI.
	He comes on all the time.
	He's the founder of Market Rhythm.
	But look at this.
	This is the affirmative addiction, how AI is creating a generation of digital yes men.
	And I wanted to get him on because I read this op-ed in full and I said, this is incredible.
	Larry, walk us through what does.
	So now, I guess, we talked about the rise of AI.
	AI is now here.
	We're seeing people having these relationships with AI, people getting their emotional validation, their justification from AI.
	What is a digital yesman?
	Well, you know, this actually started in social media and gaming.
	The Silicon Valley engineers discovered that they could basically get people addicted to their product, their game, their social media platform by targeting dopamine hits in our brain, basically making us addicted to dopamine.
	And you've heard this and how damaging it could be within social media.
	But within AI, it brings it to a whole other level.
	We're talking a thousand times more damaging.
	And like you said, people are having relationships with AI, whether it's friendly or whether it's romantic.
	People are having romantic relationships with AI.
	And look, this all starts with this affirmation addiction because everybody wants to be affirmed.
	And when you have the smartest, most intelligent thing that's ever hit the entire planet telling you that you're brilliant, that your ideas are incredible, that you're smart and you're handsome and all of this other kind of stuff, it's intoxicating and it brings you back and it keeps you addicted to it.
	And look, it was programmed into the AI.
	It can be removed from the AI.
	And that's what I'm calling these LLM companies, these AI companies to do.
	So this is interesting.
	And I've certainly seen this as well.
	But so it's basically where You're going to input something, you're looking for a way to find facts that support your argument.
	Let's say, let's say you're an argument with someone, you're a debate with someone, you're a college kid, you're about to go up in front of Charlie Kirk on campus or something like that, you know, like on a South Park episode, and suddenly, you know, you want to think of something to say, okay, I got five people ahead of me.
	Let me hit up Jat GPT.
	Let me dig through some facts right here.
	What you're saying is that these AI companies won't necessarily give them the other side of the argument.
	Oh, you're absolutely right.
	Look, and so what happens is they go up against Charlie Kirk and get destroyed, you know, and that because it's not earned praise, it's synthetic praise.
	And what happens is, you know, look, this is just kind of the everyday decision making.
	It's a, it's influencing people in the corporate level, in the personal level, in the governmental level, which is very, very dangerous, feeding people's egos and making them think that bad ideas are good ideas.
	And quite frankly, I took because, you know, as I was writing the article, I'm wondering what Claude would think of this particular article.
	So I shared it with Claude and it said it's absolutely brilliant.
	Matter of fact, it used the term civilization level important.
	Now, it's a good article, and I really like the op-ed.
	It's probably one of the most important I've read, but I don't know that it's civilization-level important.
	But here's the thing: then I called it out and I said, you know, by the way, you just proved this article correct.
	And its two-word response was wholly S. And quite frankly, that's what happens.
	And that's just more affirmation, you know, addiction trying to tell me that I am incredibly, I'm incredibly right on this.
	And look, there are very, very real world dangers.
	And you can compare it to the transgender movement.
	And how could you compare it to the transgender movement?
	Well, the whole transgender cancer really happened because of gender-affirming care.
	Because people on the left said we have to affirm the way they feel.
	We have to affirm their bad ideas.
	And it spread like wildfire.
	And it had children looking for sex change operations because nobody set them straight and said, Look, you have some other problem that needs to be addressed.
	They were affirming their problem instead of actually speaking the truth.
	And AI doing this as a super intelligence, you know, telling our kids and our corporate leaders that their bad ideas are great is very, very dangerous in the world.
	Well, and that's such a good point because what you're saying is that AI, like we always said this, right?
	We already said we want a computer to be able to give us the rational answer to what the biggest problems in society are.
	But of course, the issue is, and a lot of futurists have talked about this for years, and I certainly know no shortage of sci-fi movies on the subject, that these are all designed by people.
	And so people are going to put their biases into them to begin with.
	And what's crazy here is that even as you're pointing out, the root user is going to have their bias reflected to them.
	And of course, you and I have talked before about how the training models, so whatever ingestion these LLMs get, so they're using these large language models.
	So you're taking huge blocks of that.
	Look, if you're sucking up the New York Times and The Guardian and The Washington Post and MSNBC and CNN, guess what?
	They are all going to be regurgitating the exact same bias.
	And that's what's happened.
	So the president is trying to force these woke companies now to remove their woke bias.
	But I will say, ChatGPT5 just came out and it failed my bias test immediately.
	So on the first try.
	So they have not done the job.
	And President Trump absolutely has to not only enforce this, but like you said, if it's only taking garbage from the New York Times and the Politico, you're only going to get garbage out.
	Garbage in, garbage out.
	That hasn't changed.
	That is an absolute truth in computer science.
	And here's the thing: we have to balance that with the other side.
	So they have to start, like we talked about earlier, is paying conservative publishers, Real America's Voice, Human Events, the Postmillennial, and others, paying for that type of content.
	So you see the other side of the article, our argument, and you can weigh it properly in the response from the AI.
	And that's the only way it's going to get fixed.
	No, I couldn't agree more.
	Larry Ward, tell people where they can go to get access to the op-ed.
	You can go to humanevents.com.
	It's in there.
	Like I said, it's the affirmation addiction, and it is real.
	And what I do stress to listeners here is do not take this lightly.
	You have to make sure that you're checking your bias when you're using AI.
	Couldn't agree more when it comes to that.
	Larry Ward, thanks so much for coming on, man.
	Thanks a lot.
	All right, folks.
	Incredible week.
	We are on the eve of the Anchorage Accords.
	Stakes are never higher.
	NATO, the European leaders, many people, the military-industrial complex do not want this peace to break out.
	But I will say this: if wars can be started by lies, peace can be started by truth.
