Release Date: March 27, 2025

Introduction

In this special episode of Human Events Daily, host Jack Posobiec welcomes Harrison Fields, Special Assistant to President Trump and Deputy Press Secretary. The discussion delves into the Trump administration's strategies, particularly in media engagement, law enforcement, and policy initiatives aimed at reshaping America’s socio-political landscape.

Media Strategy and New Media Engagement

Adapting to Modern Communication: Harrison Fields emphasizes the administration's shift from traditional media to leveraging new media platforms. Fields notes, “We are no longer in that generation where you flip through the paper every morning. We're listening to you, we're listening to different podcasts, listening. We're consuming media in a totally different way than we did even five years ago” (01:18).

Real-Time News Cycle Control: Fields highlights the effectiveness of using platforms like X (formerly Twitter) for immediate news dissemination. He recounts an incident where an MS-13 raid was trending on X, allowing the administration to control the narrative swiftly: “I wake up this morning and got a, you know, a little earlier than usual to get here on time. And little did I know there's an MS.13 raid that's been going on like down the street practically, you know, right here in the national capital region” (01:48).

Team Commitment and Speed: Fields credits the administration’s ability to move at “President Trump speed” due to a cohesive and committed team. He states, “We have such a team. Stephen Miller, Suzy Wiles, Caroline Levitt. I mean, we've got such a team” (13:39).

Crime and Law Enforcement: MS-13 and Urban Safety

Addressing Gang Activity: The conversation centers around the administration's proactive measures against gang activities, particularly MS-13. Fields shares a personal anecdote about discovering the proximity of gang members: “I live in Northern Virginia, had no idea this guy existed. Knowing that he lives so close, probably 15 minutes from where I live, I've got a 6 month old at home” (03:04).

Governor Collaboration: Fields attributes successful law enforcement actions to cooperation from Republican governors. He mentions Governor Glenn Youngkin’s collaboration as pivotal in combating gang presence: “Luckily we have a governor in Glen Youngkin that cooperated with our administration” (04:12).

Critique of Democratic Policies and Urban Decline

Resistance to Federal Enforcement: Fields criticizes Democratic governors and mayors for their reluctance to cooperate with federal agencies like ICE, leading to uncontrolled immigration and increased crime: “The governor of Illinois, Pritzker, and the mayor of Chicago has already said proudly that they will not cooperate with ICE” (04:25).

Urban Decay and Public Safety: Drawing from personal experiences, Fields laments the decline in safety and infrastructure in cities like Philadelphia and Baltimore. He reminisces about safer times and contrasts them with the current state: “When I hear the left talk about this, particularly cities, it's you... I can't take my kid there” (06:01).

Democratic Party's Focus: Fields accuses the Democratic Party of prioritizing political gains over public safety, suggesting that their policies favor illegal immigrants over American citizens: “They somehow prioritize the criminal. It's absolutely bonkers” (08:35).

Policy Initiatives and Shifts in Public Sentiment

Economic and Regulatory Reforms: Fields discusses forthcoming policy measures, including a reconciliation bill aimed at historic tax cuts and deregulation. He highlights a proposed tax deduction for American-made cars: “President Trump wants to have a tax deduction that if you have your car made in the USA, guess what, you can deduct 10% of your payments” (14:30).

Public Support and Election Gains: Acknowledging the administration's electoral successes, Fields points to significant shifts in traditionally Democratic strongholds, attributing them to a national change in public sentiment: “President Trump has had an advantage right now that everything that he's doing that the American people voted for him to do is, is kind of like that dopamine hit to the brain of like, yeah, this makes sense” (11:22).

Reconciliation with Congress: Fields is optimistic about passing key legislation, citing positive talks with Congressional leaders: “Things are looking really, really good. One big, beautiful bill. Potentially. You're looking at historic tax cuts” (13:56).

Electric Vehicles and Environmental Policy

Critique of EV Advocacy: Fields critiques the Democratic push for electric vehicles (EVs), arguing that it’s more about political symbolism than practical benefits. He sarcastically remarks on the left’s fluctuating stance on EVs: “They used to be against... Now they're blowing them up” (15:46).

Economic Implications: He underscores the economic aspect, referencing the high costs and unethical sourcing of materials like cobalt for EV batteries: “The cobalt that goes into the battery was made from slave hands” (16:44).

Public Perception and Policy Clarity: Fields asserts that the left's inconsistent policies on EVs reveal their lack of genuine commitment, leading to public confusion and backlash: “They don't actually believe in this stuff. They just want to tear down everything in this country” (16:44).

Conclusion

Harrison Fields concludes by encapsulating the stark contrast between the administration's reality-based approach and the Democratic Party's perceived detachment from everyday American concerns. He asserts, “One side found themselves living in a fantasy land and one side actually lives in reality” (17:17). Fields reinforces the administration's commitment to transparency and proactive policy-making, positioning the Trump administration as responsive to the American populace's evolving needs.
