Trump EPA Leadership Shakeups 00:06:45
Hey guys, it's Jack.
I wanted to let you know that we're starting a new push for subscriptions here on Human Events Daily.
So make sure that when you're listening to this podcast, you hit subscribe, you download it, and you share it with five of your friends.
Make sure they're all going and downloading as well because we need to get the signal out as much as possible.
Look, we've done so much over the past couple of years since this show started, and we're only going to do so much more.
Let's get it.
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 Posovic.
Christ is King.
And lift off.
The crew of Artemis II now bound for the moon.
Humanity's next great voyage begins.
This official tells News Nation an American journalist kidnapped in Baghdad had repeatedly been warned about specific threats against her.
Shelly Kittleson was abducted in the Iraqi capital on Tuesday.
American officials told her as recently as Monday night that she could be targeted.
President Trump leaving the Supreme Court after a historic 90 minute first visit by a sitting president, as the government's attorney argued birthright citizenship has become exploited.
We're in a new world now, as Justice Alito pointed out to, where 8 billion people are one plane ride away from having a child who's a U.S. citizen.
Today, as hundreds of immigrant advocates rallied outside the court, most of the justices signaled they aren't buying Trump's plan.
They're so jealous.
America.
I said, you're going to sue their ass.
I can say, you're not allowed to say this.
You have to be nicer.
Sue their ass off.
We have confirmed from multiple sources, John, that the president has been talking privately recently about replacing the Attorney General Pam Bondi, firing her from her role running the Justice Department, and actually instead putting the EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin in that position.
President Trump, in a primetime update on the war in Iran, suggested the operation is close to an end.
We are on track to complete all of America's military objectives shortly, very shortly.
Nothing new on a timeline, but President Trump offered a full-throated defense of the war.
My first preference was always the path of diplomacy, yet the regime continued their relentless quest for nuclear weapons.
Following weeks of attacks on Iran, President Trump promised to continue the U.S. bombing campaign, but said nothing about American boots on Iranian soil.
For years, everyone has said that Iran cannot have nuclear weapons, but in the end, those are just words if you're not willing to take action when the time comes.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily.
We're here live, Washington, D.C., on Real America's Voice.
Today is April 2nd, 2026.
Anno Domini here live in studio.
Riding Shotgun co pilot today is Benny Ray Harmony, our Washington, D.C. correspondent for Real America's Voice.
And as longtime viewers will remember, the original producer of Human Events.
What's up, Benny Ray?
Oh, nothing, Jack.
Just happy to be here.
Well, and we see, of course, another big day.
And yet another change in the White House as we've seen another cabinet official is now moving out.
News just breaking, really just before we went to air here, that A.G. Bondi will be leaving the Department of Justice.
And in fact, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch is moving in as the interim head of the Department of Justice.
And interestingly enough, we had Todd Blanch here on this program just a few days ago for a full sit down interview where we talked about all things Antifa.
We talked about The Epstein releases.
We talked about the Charlie Kirk case, and he was able to give us as much information as we could.
So just a few days ago, we had Todd Blanch on, which, unbeknownst to myself, and his staff certainly didn't notice, they certainly didn't mention to us that this would be coming up.
So this may have been a bit of a surprise move.
We've also seen, of course, just in the last few days, that it was the Department of Homeland Security had its turnover of Christy Nome and then the takeover by Mullins.
You're here in D.C., you're on the Hill, you're hearing this over and over.
What is your make?
What are you hearing out of Capitol Hill in terms of some of the turnover that's going on?
And to be sure, usually at the one year mark, you do see turnover in the cabinet.
How much of this is that versus how much of this, from what you're hearing, is the president putting people into different spots?
Well, I will say, I remember we were sitting in the briefing room the day that it was announced that Christy Noam was being replaced.
And the first topic next was what's it going to do with Pam Bondi?
A lot of people had questions.
They kind of, I think people saw this coming a little bit.
There were some questions surrounding it.
We were talking about, you know, she's done an excellent job and she's been a Trump loyalist for, you know, how many years has been by his side.
But there have been.
She was right there in Philadelphia in 2020.
Right there.
I mean, she really has not left his side.
And so I think that it's probably a difficult decision.
What are you going to do?
But, you know, with Christy Noam now leaving and with Pam Bondi.
Like I said, there's lots of conversations around it, but also I think this shows kind of the movement of the administration.
I think a lot of even people in the press can see that whereas in former administrations, the presidents kind of just, even if they weren't happy with the performance of their cabinet members, they didn't do anything.
And so this shows President Trump, he's on top of it, and he has certain goals, certain missions that he wants to accomplish.
And even if that person that he first put into place maybe isn't that person anymore, he's going to relocate them and try new.
And so I think overall, I mean, I think this was a good move, but I think there are going to be a lot of questions surrounding it.
Well, and of course, we're digging in as well.
And, you know, a lot of questions, of course, to come up.
Will there be more?
Will there be more turnover for the administration?
If there's this rumor that Lee Zeldin may come over from EPA, so of course that would create another opening for the administration.
Todd Blanchett, you know, you'll have him interim, and then what's going to happen after that?
Is he going to go back to being second in line?
What's that going to look like?
Or maybe he goes over to EPA?
Yeah.
Maybe a small switcheroo.
There's quite a bit.
The musical chairs, and of course, we know that in the first administration, There was turnover as well.
So that is certainly to be expected as we are hurtling towards a midterm election in November, as well as the president giving his remarks last night.
Ghostbed Mattress Review 00:03:29
We were live here on Real America's Voice, Benny Ray and myself, covering all of that in real time.
So stay tuned for more.
We're going to have updates on this as it develops.
Human Events Daily continues here live in Washington, D.C. In our way, and our golden age has just begun.
This is Human Events with Jack Pasova.
Now it's time for everyone to understand what America First truly means.
Welcome to the Second American Revolution.
Ailey, Real America's Voice.
And folks, by the way, I got to tell you so we were down at CPAC.
Everybody knows we saw that.
We had to sit down with Tab Lanch.
It was amazing.
And then I got to come home and we had the ghost bed there.
Benny Ray, let me tell you something.
Are you satisfied with your mattress?
The kind of mattress?
No?
I'm every single morning with so many aches and pains in my neck and back.
Are you serious?
No, seriously.
I'm being, like, I'm in it.
It's something I'm trying to figure out right now.
Okay, well, this, you are involved, my friend.
No, I actually, well, I mean, it's Poso Power.
And, you know, talking to Agent Poso over here.
So we got the new bed in.
No, you can't slouch.
You can't slouch.
No, because, but I get it.
You want to because your back is like tense.
Because you think about it.
You're spending so many hours a day.
On your bed, so on your back or on your side.
I'm kind of a side sleeper myself.
Yeah, I'm using it.
But that you think about it, it's like one third of your day.
That's one third of your week, one third of your year, one third of your year, four months is going to be on a bed.
And so people are sitting there going, wait a minute, if you're spending that much time on this thing, it has that much connection to your health.
And people are talking every day podcast, the health podcast, which is blown up, Maha's blown up, that your sleep health matters.
So we got the new Ghostbed.
We got this thing sent to us by Ghostbed.
We did the hybrid style.
So it's sort of a mix between a traditional mattress and a foam mattress.
I got to tell you, this thing's amazing.
Does it kind of do you sink into it kind of a little bit, but not as much as a full memory foam?
Yeah, so is it fluffy a little bit?
Yes, so it has that support, it has more support the way the traditional mattress does, but it also has that sink in ability the way that a foam does.
And so it gives you to what I think is the best of both worlds.
And I love it because I'll go and sleep on a mattress at a hotel.
And so I was going to say, because we're down CPAC, and then I come back, I come home, and it's like all that just goes away, it just all goes away.
So, Benny Ray Harmon, you need to get a ghost bed.
I think you sold me.
This thing, it is, well, look, just to tell you about them, they're family owned, three generations doing business in the U.S.
It's all made in America, and they have a deal right now that you can do.
You go to ghostbed.com and it's promo code POSO.

You can get your ghost bed.

And I'm serious.
Like, it's actually really good.
Does Tanya like it?
New AG Media Strategy 00:15:41
Tanya loves it.
Okay.
That's all.
Tanya absolutely loves it.
Okay.
And as you can imagine, like, when the princess loves it, like, he's happy.
That's what I have.
We're all happy when mom's doing well.
We want that.
So, yeah, ghostbed.comslash poso.
Promo code POSO.
Now, that being said, though, news of the day, the news never, we may sleep, but the news never does, especially in Washington, D.C.
I want to get Will Chamberlain on now from the Article III Project because you guys know everything that's going on in Washington, D.C. from the legal perspective.
Of course, you were covering tremendous coverage, by the way, yesterday of the Supreme Court hearing that I saw you doing as well over on the Charlie Kirk Show and just on Twitter in general.
And Will, this news out of the Department of Justice.
Now, I got to ask, man, Do you think that Trump just really didn't like being over at the Supreme Court yesterday and that this is some way tied to the Department of Justice changeover?
What's going on?
I think that could be it, but it's not really.
I doubt that Pam Bondi would be the person you'd be frustrated.
I mean, John Sauer is a solicitor general.
And I mean, John Sauer, and people should, one, we haven't even lost that case yet.
I think people are dooming too much over it.
As I mentioned on Charlie Kirk yesterday, I think we've got a fighting chance.
And it was a tough case from the beginning.
But I think this more has to do with.
Some lingering frustrations with Bondi over the past year and a half.
That said, I mean, I've always been a person who thinks that Bondi's actually done a pretty good job, especially on the terms of running the department.
We're sort of victories in the law take a long time, and we're starting to see more and more of them come out.
I mean, we got a 92% win rate at the Supreme Court.
We're starting to grind out these wins in these immigration cases, namely like the temporary protected status cases, and where, you know, these judges have thrown a wrench in the system, a big Fifth Circuit win that's going to allow us to detain illegal immigrants without bonds.
So, And she's done a ton on crime and disorder.
So I think she did a good job.
I think she was just not, you know, my basic assessment of Bondi is she was running the department while she was not doing a great job on the comm side.
I think that, you know, you go back to the Epstein thing and the files there.
I didn't think she handled that particularly well.
And I don't think she was great in front of Congress.
But I'm not, you know, I don't think she did a bad job.
I think she was very loyal to the president.
And I think, you know, when you look at the president's statement today, you see that he was very fond of Pam Bondi, even if he decided he wanted to make a change.
You know, I think that's right.
And so when you look at this, and it's interesting for us that we just did a sit down, long sit down with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch just a couple of days ago.
And I ran him through, peppered him with all sorts of questions about Epstein, about these Antifa Tiger teams that they've now set up between the FBI and the IRS, looking at the left wing money flows, the organizational side of the militant left.
Even asked him questions about the Tyler Robinson case.
Obviously, he wasn't able to divulge too much because that is still a criminal case that's going to trial as a former prosecutor.
He even said that that's not something that he wanted to get into.
But just say, what's your view of Todd Blanch, of his reputation, and how do you think that he'll be running the department, at least in terms of the interim here?
I mean, Todd Blanch is a really, really good lawyer and a really, really good deputy attorney general.
And so now, as interim attorney general, I mean, the thing people need to understand too is that the deputy attorney general runs most of the day to day of the department already.
And so he's in a position where he knows all the serious matters, he's on top of all the serious matters.
I don't think it'll be a very seamless transition if he's remaining in as interim while whoever the president chooses ends up getting confirmed.
So I think that makes me very optimistic.
I think we're going to keep making progress on all the fronts that the DOJ has been making progress on.
And I'm looking forward to what he and the new AG are able to do in the future.
You know, he seemed absolutely on top of things when we sat down with him last week.
He did quite a bit.
He's also, by the way, the one who, you know, just on Epstein, Todd Blanch is the one who actually went and sat down with Ghislaine Maxwell and then released a full transcript of all of the information that came out of there.
And he's done extensive interviews since then, going through question and question and question about this.
And I think that while some, Myself included, as everyone remembers, were frustrated at what seemed was the lack of transparency in terms of the communications early on.
Todd Blanch, not only did he conduct all that, even when he came here on Human Events Daily, he acknowledged the communications issues that the department had gone through and said, we should have done a better job.
And I think the fact that he's been going around and doing this media tour that we were certainly a part of is a big part of that as well, being willing to say, hey, there are questions.
We get it.
This was a crazy case.
Let's actually sit down and hash out the questions instead of sort of putting up this wall, which is, of course, from a communications perspective, never really the best way to go about things.
Yeah, I think that's right.
And I mean, people need to understand Todd Blanche has released millions of files.
The amount of legal time and effort that went into complying with the Massey Kana legislation that forced the disclosure of all these files.
Todd Blanche was in charge of that and made it happen.
I mean, there's a huge repository of files that we now have access to.
And people also need to understand that they complained about the redactions, but the redactions were required by the Massey Kana legislation.
They made, and that resulted in a huge number of legal man hours that had to be put in to review all these documents.
Speaking as a lawyer who's done document review, when I looked at that legislation and understood what that entailed, I was like, man, there are going to be hundreds of lawyers all over the country doing doc review for weeks just on this case.
And my understanding was that if you were not in trial in New York, you were working on the Epstein matter doing all this document disclosure.
Todd Blanch was very good on that.
And he also managed to, while doing all that additional work that was foisted upon him, keep all the other balls rolling that DOJ has rolling.
So I think he's really competent.
I'm really impressed with Todd Blanch.
And I hope he remains, even after he's no longer interim and we get a new AG, I hope he remains as the deputy.
Well, you had mentioned Pambani's kind of performance when she was in Congress and speaking to these members.
Can you kind of take us through that a little bit?
What do you think could have been done better that Todd Blanch could maybe step in and Take, you know, if that makes sense.
Well, I don't know that Todd Blanch will have that sort of role in terms.
Usually it's the AG that goes in front of Congress.
So I think, you know, I think, I don't think Todd Blanch will be in the position long enough to like schedule congressional hearings.
I expect that it'll be the next AG who appears in front of Congress.
I think, I think Pambani was just a little bit, honestly, just a little bit stilted in front of Congress, was not the most quick on her feet in terms of answering questions.
She still was very tough.
And I really admired that about her, how she really didn't take anything from some of these people.
But I think, I think there are, there are, Better, there will be better advocates, public advocates for what the administration is doing.
I think that that is a big thing.
And also, I think someone, I think Pam Bondi was also not the most sophisticated social media user, understanding of the way new media worked.
And as a result, some of the communications from her department under her leadership felt a little stilted.
I think that a new AG who's a little more savvy, because remember, Pam Bondi wasn't in office for quite a long time, and Lee Zeldin was a representative very recently, if he's the guy who's chosen.
There's a lot of good names floated.
My old boss, Ron DeSantis, I think would be an excellent attorney general, for example.
So, a lot of good names floated, and I think they'll do a better job of handling that public facing role that the AG is really, really key for.
No, I couldn't agree more.
Will, that being said, when you have the AG turnover like this, does it have a strong effect, would you say, on specific cases that may be ongoing?
Not unless you get rid of the whole top floor, right?
Like, if suddenly Blanche was gone and Stan Woodward, who's, I believe, the number three of DOJ, was gone, that actually could.
Cause real problems because then you have to get a whole new set of people up to speed on all the important matters.
But as long as Todd Blanch actually has more people reporting to him on a day to day basis than Pam Bondi does, that's the way the department is structured.
So as long as you keep Todd around, you're going to have the continuity, and I don't expect any hiccups.
No, I think that's exactly right.
Will, are you with us for another segment?
We can hold you over?
Sure.
Okay, great.
Yeah, we'll hold you over because there's so much going on.
I definitely want to get into that, maybe even pick your brain a little bit.
On where we stand in the Supreme Court with this.
Jack Posobic, Benny Ray Harmony sitting shotgun today, my co pilot here on Human Events Daily in Washington, D.C. About influencers.
These are influencers.
And they're friends of mine.
Jack Pasobic.
Where's Jack?
Jack.
He's done a great job.
All right, folks, we're back.
Jack Pasobic here, live, Human Events Daily, Washington, D.C. We're here with Benny Ray Harmony.
She is the co pilot and co host of Human Events.
Benny Ray, I should also tell you, by the way, thank you for filling in you and Bo Davidson while I was away for Tiny Tay's birthday.
Really appreciate it.
You guys crushed it, did some fun episodes, good news.
You guys did great.
Thank you.
We were happy to do it.
It was great.
And Bo's just fantastic.
He can roll with it.
And you kind of fly by the wind, you know what I mean?
And so that's what me and Bo kind of did, and we did.
It was awesome to see.
So I want to get Will Chamberlain.
So, Will, we, of course, were covering the Supreme Court case yesterday.
We had your colleague, Mike Davis, on the program.
He, and I think a lot of people, said that it doesn't look as if the Supreme Court is going to rule for the administration on this question of birthright citizenship.
And so we got into an interesting discussion of What could be done in response then?
What other alternatives for belief would there be?
And I suggest, I'll throw it right out there.
What if we just ran a massive campaign?
What if we turned the entire 2026 midterm elections into, go with me on this, illegal immigration amendment to the Constitution?
Couldn't we do that?
Why can't we do that?
We could.
I mean, we're never going to have sufficient votes to actually get those things enacted.
But I mean, running on them is not a bad idea at all.
I also, I mean, I do want to say, I'm.
You know, and I can, I'm allowed to disagree with my boss, right?
I actually am a little more optimistic.
Not necessarily that I think it's more likely than not that we'll prevail, but I think Mike is a little more black pilled than I am on the oral argument.
Having listened to the way that they went after the ACLU attorney, I thought that they were, a lot of the justices were asking the right questions, specifically Gorsuch, Alito, Kavanaugh were all asking really good questions.
So I'm not sure that won't, I think it could be a 5 4.
I think we might actually swing it.
But, you know, assuming we don't, assuming Assuming my boss is correct on this question.
Or, you know, that's one thing we can do.
I think we can push for illegal immigration amendments.
Well, let me also just throw out there as well that perhaps rather than a sweeping opposition, there are also times when the court puts out, you know, things that are sort of in part.
So, you know, they could sort of put out a narrow, they could narrow the scope of birthright citizenship.
So, not do away with it completely, but perhaps make it so that there are some stricter guidelines that need to be followed, that sort of thing.
Yeah, and it's curious.
One of the big questions is what does the phrase subject to the jurisdiction mean?
And the ACLU's contention is that it means a limited, closed set of three exceptions that were extant at the time of the enactment of the 14th Amendment.
And I think Kavanaugh had this really interesting point about how, if that was the case, why didn't they just list those exceptions rather than coming up with this sort of general phrase that could apply to other people as well?
So I think you could easily see a world where.
You know, temporary sojourners who were discussed at the time of the amendment, they were much rarer, but they were discussed.
Children of temporary sojourners, nobody would have thought they would have gotten citizenship.
And so they might try and craft a rule that allows the administration to ban birth tourism, for example.
You know, even if they don't say, even if they say, like, you know, the children of legal aliens who've been here for 20 years, those people need to be granted citizenship.
But maybe the children of the Chinese people who show up in the Northern Mariana Islands and randomly give birth and then head home, those kids don't get citizenship.
That could be some sort of splitting the baby rule.
Not the obvious, there's not an obvious By the way, Will, literally splitting the baby in this case.
Yes, splitting the babies between citizenship and not citizenship.
Indeed.
Not the individual babies, but the category of babies.
Well, of course, speaking of which, though, I had to throw out this on Twitter last night.
Isn't it interesting that when you speak to the liberal judges and Katanji Brown Jackson, that all of a sudden, when you're not talking about abortion, suddenly the pregnant women and their children get referred to as citizens or pre citizens with Full rights.
And here she is upholding the rights of these unborn children when they happen to be the children of immigrants and foreigners and temporary sojourners and all these things.
But when you switch to abortion, oh, suddenly, suddenly it's another question altogether.
It's insane.
Yeah, it's really interesting how they can say, you know, I mean, you see this all the time liberal judges suddenly becoming these like unbelievably narrow minded originalists when they think they have the text on their side.
It's remarkable about how that works.
It's like magic.
But, well, so the Constitution Amendment, that's there.
And by the way, I do think that that would be popular.
I do think it would.
But there are also a number of procedural questions and procedural items that could be done here, possibly not even just at the federal level, but even on the state level.
When you're talking about the birth certificates that the state health departments are issuing, they could simply write non citizen on them and simply label them as non citizen, which I believe the Attorney General of Oklahoma has talked about visas or another way.
What are some of the other options that the administration could look at?
I don't know that those would work if we straight up lost this birthright citizenship case.
People need to understand that it's a bad outcome if we lose it fully because it means that birthright citizenship becomes constitutionalized at the federal level, which means the states can't do things that contradict it.
So I don't know that that would survive.
What I think we can do, though, is the federal government has enormous authority when it comes to letting people in and out of the country.
And so there could be a major crackdown on tourist visa issuances from China, other sorts of visa issuances from China in order to stop birthright citizenship.
I don't know.
Maybe you could also put in Place rules that say, you know, from certain nations, you cannot be pregnant when you show up.
And, like, that would be a very interesting one because it would mean that, you know, if you're visibly pregnant, you're not allowed to get a tourist visa.
You just get turned away.
Benny, you're making a face.
Benny's making a face.
Benny, what's the face?
Benny, are you breaking news on the show here?
Listen, I am all for it.
I just wonder how the Democrats and how the liberals would.
Twist that and make it discrimination on pregnant people at that point, and then contradict themselves again when they don't really care about pregnant people to begin with.
But wait, wait, wait.
Of course it's discrimination.
That's the role of the visa process.
That's what a border is.
A border is inherently discriminatory.
That's what a border is.
Our entire immigration law is built on discriminating between immigrants of various sexes.
Every immigration law and every rule is discrimination.
That's the point.
Yeah, okay.
Discrimination Coalition Concerns 00:10:15
You know, this is, there's a lot going on right now, Jack.
Will, we love when we have Benny Ray on.
It's absolutely the best.
Will, where can people go to follow you to get your discriminatory legal analysis?
Yes, for further discrimination, please go to at Will Chamberlain on X as well as the A3P action.com where we advocate for various types of discrimination.
Sorry, I'll stop.
You know, Mike wouldn't like that.
Although, you know, who knows?
A3P action.
That being said, Mike Davis, you'll never find him more.
Discriminating lawyer in all of Washington, D.C. Jack Posobiec, Benny Ray Harmony, more discrimination ahead here on Human Friends Daily.
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 politicians.
All right, folks, we're back.
Jack Wasobic, Benny Ray Harmony here.
Human Events Daily, your headquarters for legal discrimination.
You knew I was going to be the one.
Favorite.
I knew it.
You know, we are the discrimination show.
Your discrimination station.
Your discrimination destination here.
That's what it is.
We've got Rich Barris coming on the People's Pundit.
Rich is like, what are they talking about?
Rich, welcome to the discrimination show.
That's great to be here as always.
No, Rich, because we were talking about immigration and the immigration ruling.
And I said, well, what if we, and Will Chamberlain was on, he said, what if we just ban pregnant women from entering?
And Benny Ray is like, well, aren't the Democrats going to call that discrimination?
I'm like, of course it's discrimination.
What is it?
Exactly.
That's exactly my point.
But, Rich, so I wanted to get you on because, you know, obviously a lot is going on, but the breaking news of the day has been the Story about A.G. Bondi just a couple blocks away from where we're sitting here in Washington, D.C. We've seen the politics of this.
We've seen, of course, you know, the ups and downs of her tenure at the Department of Justice.
Wanted to get your take on it because we're seeing, you know, that it's sort of the one year itch that I think is coming up with cabinet officials.
You know, it's like a year and change since the cabinet's been in.
And you look at the confirmation process, it really is the one year mark.
Do you think that's what this is, or do you think there's something more political going on here?
Throw it to you, Rich Barris.
Well, look, I've got to pull no punches when it comes to the attorney general as a public opinion pollster.
It's a little hard to point to a single cabinet member who may have hurt the president more than Pam Bondi.
Nobody is the face of the Epstein file situation more than her.
We've pulled this, Jack.
You've seen it.
She's the most unpopular cabinet member in the administration.
This is better late than never.
I would have liked to see this earlier as far as just the political side of this.
What the president needs to do in order to clean the slate, Jack.
It is that one year mark, right?
And we're going to see a lot more probably after the midterms, but that's normal.
But Pam Bondi is, again, not just with Democrats and independents.
There are even a lot of Republicans who were pretty much done with Pam Bondi at this point.
This is good.
This long time coming, honestly.
So, you think this is something?
Now, that being said, though, we've seen a lot from the president.
We saw this speech last night.
This really was there.
And by the way, Rich, this is something that the president, when he goes big, he wants to go big.
So, you saw this big speech, this big moment that he gave last night.
Now we're seeing Pam.
So, do you think that perhaps he's trying to sort of show some big moves from the White House that are really going to grab people's attention and perhaps, just perhaps, He's trying to shift some of the narrative regarding the administration that, of course, we've seen in the media over polling numbers.
You know, Harry Etten talking about Death Valley yesterday, these types of things.
Do you think he's trying to shake some of that off?
What happened to the 100%, Harry?
What happened to that?
That was quick, right?
Three days went from 100% historic support to Death Valley in the end of days, right?
Rich, what do you really think of Harry Etten?
Don't hold back.
Come on.
What do you really think?
You know, I mean, it's just anyone from our neck of the woods knows a snake oil salesman when you see one.
I don't know if I've ever seen one in this business where I am, like Harry Enton before.
He's like the guy in the corner selling the CDs we talked about, right?
But basically, yeah, I mean, look, I do think the president's a showman.
He knows what time it is.
I think he has been feeling this for a while.
I may say, you know, some things.
He's got, look, politicians have to say something in public and, you know, do some make moves in the background.
That's just the way it is, right?
But, I think the president, and I've said this for a while, even though I have been very critical and I've been not optimistic going into November, if anyone can do this, Jack, it's him.
And he knows exactly what to do in order to shift.
It's not like he doesn't, in order to make that shift, which needs to be a big shift.
I just would caution, though, and say, I just hope we don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
You know, make some changes, do what you got to do.
But, you know, there's obviously we're hearing other rumors.
You know, let's just hope we get this one today.
And we'll see how it goes in the future.
But this is a big step because Pam Bondi is the face of his first real, the real sign of trouble, Jack, and his approval rating and in the coalition.
Pam Bondi's the face of it.
So, you know, for anyone who wants to see or has been wanting to see what you're talking about, this is a good day.
Well done, and we have seen turnover as well.
We've seen Christy Nome.
Yeah, she's gone out.
Dan Bongino, by the way, who wasn't a cabinet member, but also extremely, extremely high profile, certainly, again, with the base.
And so, Rich, let me ask you this.
Do you think, in terms of calibration, assuming this is political for sake of argument, do you think this is calibrated as for the base or perhaps more for that broader coalition of voters that seem to have drifted away since 2024?
Yeah, I think that's why this is so smart because it is broad.
When you look at the polling that we did, you know, at the end of the day, Donald Trump is beloved by the base, Jack.
You know, I mean, they give him so much benefit of the doubt, right?
This has to go toward the people who were new to the coalition and, you know, loosely aligned.
I wouldn't even say, you know, they were dating with the Republican Party.
They were flirting, right?
You didn't even get to take them out to dinner yet.
They came over in 24 and they were flirting with the idea.
And Pam Bondi is, again, central to the To their souring somewhat.
So I do think it's to them, which is smart, right?
The base is going to go along with whatever because the base is different, folks, in that.
Like when you hear arguments, no matter what, Democrats are worse, so we have to vote, right?
That's a base argument.
But for this move and for people who are out there and that argument's not good enough for them, that's for them.
And by the way, I hate to say this, but some voters are more important than others, right?
Some voters are always going to show up.
Others not so much.
And that's this is for them.
And that's why it's good.
And Rich, I don't know if you, I don't know if Jack kind of already asked this question, but with your research that you do and kind of just with how much you're watching, we know some of these main issues going into the midterms that are going to be huge for voters.
But, you know, after we heard Trump's speech last night, what do you think people really care about the most right now that is going to be the difference maker, if you have any?
Yeah, that's why I do like to see him make big moves and pivot because you can go out there and say, we achieved our objectives.
And we won, even take the W and go home.
But it doesn't help people pay their grocery bill.
It doesn't help people pay their mortgage.
So I do want to see the president shift into something else and start.
You know, the news, the headlines, they're constantly dominated by foreign policy.
Foreign policy is number seven on our ranked distribution for most important issues.
It's gone.
It's like nowhere near the top.
That's important.
Yeah, that's important to know right there that people, that's not their top.
So it's not.
Rich, are you trying to say it's the economy, stupid?
The old.
You know, the old Clinton, right?
James Carville, right?
The old phrase like, it just comes down to the money.
It's all about the money.
Look, it's important to note, too, who votes in midterms, right?
Of course, it tends to be more older and more educated.
And I hate to say this, but they were right.
The USA Today had a piece recently, a couple of weeks ago.
And it was actually the female voter over 50 who was really swingy and on the edge.
It was the economy for them.
So, you know, pivoting to the economy, and guys, I just stress this it doesn't even have to be accomplishments.
You just have to be seen optically as fighting for what people want more so than the other side.
There are things Republicans can do, even if they fail, if they get.
Democrats to oppose it, it can help their argument with those voters.
Those voters will vote regardless, Jack.
And if they feel like the Republican Party hasn't even tried to address those concerns, it's going to be a problem.
Now, there are some other sides of this, you know, with the low propensity part of the coalition that you and I have talked about.
That's why I do like this move with Bondi because accountability is important to them.
That's actually number four.
Number one, just so everybody understands the economy and jobs, number, or I'm sorry, that's number two.
Inflation is number one, economy and jobs, healthcare, then it's accountability.
Number five is immigration.
So, this is a way, I think the president in the last 24, 48 hours has begun to show some signs that I want to move on.
Dead Sea Scrolls Tour 00:07:05
I want to do some other things here.
And that's good.
Well, Rich, I want to make sure before we bounce that we do talk about the fact that you have a new book that is racing up the charts on Amazon with Joshua Lysak, our good friend.
Burn it down.
That's the answer for Donald Trump.
Just burn it down.
And yeah, thanks for.
For bringing that up, Jack.
I mean, honestly, this will be released right before the midterms.
It's a crucial argument about hoping to get people to understand the boomers will fall out of this electorate very, very soon.
What do these other voters want?
How did Donald Trump attract these younger voters in the 2024 election?
And what happens if we don't give them what they want?
And the alternative is bleak.
I mean, there's really two roads we can go down in this country, Jack.
We have to pick the right one, the other one leads to Mamdani.
Well, that's exactly.
It's MAGA or Mamdani.
A lot of us have been saying this.
You've got to focus on the disparities in this country.
You have to focus on the economics.
And one of those is going to burn it down, Rich Davis.
Burn it down, baby.
Thank you so much, Rich, the people's pundit for joining us here on Human Events Daily.
This is the Jack Vasobic Appreciation Hour.
I can say confidently, I believe, I think Josh Shapiro would be the vice presidential nominee if it wasn't for Jack Vasobic.
And that is, I'm being honest.
Hey everybody, Bo Davidson here.
I hope that you will check out my Easter special this Saturday and Sunday at 2 p.m. Eastern, which is where I go to the Museum of the Bible and tour two amazing exhibitions, the Dead Sea Scrolls and the McGinnis Mosaic.
These are both very, very important to people of faith, and I hope that it will inspire you and your family this weekend.
So please check it out.
This weekend, Saturday and Sunday at 2 p.m. Eastern.
Happy Easter.
This Easter weekend, Real America's Voice is taking you back in time.
The living word from scrolls to cross.
Journey through history as host Bo Davidson explores the ancient writings that shaped the Bible as we know it today.
What do you think is the biggest misconception?
The biggest misconceptions early on was that somehow the scrolls were going to undo our beliefs.
It actually does the opposite.
What we are still practicing today has a genetic connection all the way back.
You don't want to miss this special event.
Watch Saturday at 2 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. only on Real America's Voice.
I'm actually really excited for that.
The Museum of the Bible is one of my favorite museums here in Washington.
Probably actually my favorite these days, if I had to say it.
But anyway, have you been to the Museum of the Bible yet?
I have, yeah.
Me and my mom went.
It's amazing.
It's so good.
It's so good.
I got one of the pictures of, is it George Washington where he's praying at Valley Forge?
Of course.
Oh my gosh, and I have it framed in my house.
We have that.
Well, Tanya and I got married in Valley Forge.
Me too.
Yeah, yeah.
So that's for us.
We got engaged there too, actually.
Oh my gosh.
And so that's always been just.
That and Washington, and so much.
It's very personal.
I grew up, like, you know, going there all the time, Valley Forge, like every weekend with my family, flying kites, whatever, sledding in the winter.
And that's always been so close.
But what I love about the Museum of the Bible, there's so much stuff for families that if you have kids, you can, there's tons of interactive stuff for kids.
There's like a playground area, but it's all, it's all like, you know, obviously biblical.
But then even for like the Bible nerds like me, if you go to that top floor, and even like Tanya, because she does the languages, I love the section on the translations and the partial translations of it and all the different pieces of the Bible that have been found over the years.
It just gives you goosebumps.
It really does.
That was probably my favorite, seeing just the depth of how far it goes.
Because we just look at it, it's English, it's our Bible, it's this.
Pull it off the shelf and all that stuff.
But when you look at it from that view, it's like, whoa.
You just see it.
And you realize how.
How much, and I see that as the Dead Sea Scrolls exhibit, which I think is phenomenal.
That's what's so cool about that.
We're to tie the Dead Sea Scrolls in, and here we are.
It is Holy Thursday.
We're going into Holy Week.
The Holy Week has begun.
We're in the Passion Cycle.
And so it's all connected.
So today's the day of the Last Supper.
Christ gives us the New Covenant, He gives us the Eucharist.
Then you have Good Friday, of course, where He dies, Holy Saturday, where He descends to the dead, and then, of course, Easter Sunday.
So you have the whole thing, and it begins on Holy Thursday.
But when you look at the Dead Sea Scrolls, What was amazing about it, because they had been, you talk about the translation, they had been under seal from the time of Christ until now.
And yet we have all these translations over the years.
And of course, there's that question, right?
Did people go in and edit things?
Did people add words?
Did they add sections?
Did they change things up a little bit to meet the politics today?
And to be sure, there are translations that do play a little fast and loose, but not to get into all that.
But what's amazing was when they pulled those pots out of Qumran in that cave for the Dead Sea Scrolls.
They were able to take that and then put it up to the Bible of today.
It was mostly Old Testament, and they were able to find that the translations were almost verbatim, almost verbatim perfect.
And so now you have a check that that means that.
So, throughout those years, when people were translating it, they were doing so faithfully.
And when they were copying it down, we get a little of that in today's world.
We could use some.
Well, you know, and of course, when you look at Holy Thursday, you look at Christ's sacrifice for us.
This is the Holy Thursday day, that's, you know, it just.
It puts everything into perspective.
Well, I think it does.
And you look at how that day runs.
So Christ gives us, you know, he sort of establishes the communion in the new covenant, the body and the blood.
And because he knows this is going to be my last time that I'm with all of you before I have to go through what I have to go through, he then goes to the Garden of Gethsemane.
You have the mystery of the agony in the garden where he's up there, Father, take this cup from me.
And of course, that's when Judas comes in and betrays him.
There's so, but that's when Peter.
Peter denies him the three times.
He goes on trial.
It's all there.
It's all there.
One of the things, and I was thinking about this this morning before the show, is like in this world that we're in right now, you think, you know, oh, if someone's hateful towards me, it makes you want to be hateful back to them.
Someone betrays you.
What do kids in my generation want to do?
They want to revenge, vengeful.
They want to go right back at them as hard as they came at them.
And then you look at that story and you're like, no, you know, Jesus was literally betrayed by one of his disciples, by someone that was in his inner circle.
And what did he still do?
He still washed his feet.
He still knew it was coming.
And what did he do?
He didn't change anything.
He didn't.
It's just so powerful.
Turning Point Tonight 00:03:51
And I think in the modern world, we have to hold on to that the humility, the service.
I think we've lost track of that.
And then when Christ is on the cross itself, he's up there.
He's in the process of being crucified, a process that is so heinous and so painful and so horrific that we actually had to come up in Latin, they had to come up with a new word for it.
Or excruciating.
So, the word excruciating, the root of that is the same word as to crucify because it is so painful they had to come up with a new word for it.
And as he's going through that, he says, Father, forgive them, they know not what they do.
So, he forgives the soldiers, he forgives the people who have done the crucifixion.
And to your point, right, we're in this society today where, you know, it's, oh, somebody came at me, I got to come back 10 times.
I mean, I've certainly, you know, someone who's done that as well.
And you do have to stand up for yourself in righteousness at the time, but.
Yes, it is very human for us to fall into those patterns.
No, it's just, and I think it's really not to, you know, I know we're gonna talk about here in a little bit about, you know, the event tonight, the turning point event here in DC, but it goes back to that division and community and just bringing those like minded people together and speaking your faith and doing all the things.
And that's what today is all about.
It's about just showing how you should carry out your life and how you should continue to operate regardless of what the world says.
Well, so, and for folks, Who don't know that we are going to be, we've been talking about it all week, but it's tonight, George Washington University, right here in Washington, D.C.
It's going to be myself.
It's going to be Erica Kirk.
It's also going to be White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt.
Turning Point USA, this is the Turning Point tour over at GWU.
The campus is all set.
We're going to be heading over after this, and Real America's Voice is going to be covering that live.
So I know that you are going to be part of the pre show.
Tell us what you're doing.
I am, yeah.
So I'm really, really excited about this.
Because I'm going to get to talk to the students and talk to the members of the GW, of the Turning Point chapter and stuff.
And I'm really excited to hear from these students about what Charlie has meant to them and give them the motivation, hear from them the inspiration they have to continue this mission.
And the same way Charlie poured into me and poured into so many others, I think it'll be incredible to hear some of those stories because that's what it's about.
And making them feel like they are heard, that we will give them airtime and we support them.
Support them.
And so it's going to be really cool.
I'm going to be like in the lobby area doing all that.
So it's going to be really fun, Jack.
But you have a big part tonight.
Tell us a little bit about that.
Well, yeah.
So today I'm sort of kicking things off.
And so the way I think the way it works is that they'll have the national anthem, of course.
We're going to do that.
And then I'm going to come out.
I'm going to speak.
Then we're going to have the chapter president speak.
And then Caroline and Erica are going to do sort of a sit down fireside chat.
So, you know, I'm going to come out.
And I got to tell you, you know, People want me to get in on politics and this division, that division, but I got to tell you that all I can think about is the fact that it's Holy Thursday.
And that's where my head's at, and I think that that's where I'm going to end up being tonight.
And to say that, you know, this isn't about politicians and it's not about elections and it's not about those things.
It's about are we bringing people to the cross.
Benny Gray Harmony, thanks for being here with us.
Thank you.
Daily and to all of you.
We'll catch you later here live on Real America's Voice for This is the Turning Point this evening.
See you very soon.
Ladies and gentlemen, as always, you have our permission to lay ashore.
