Former Navy intelligence veteran. This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobic.
Donald Trump
Christ is we're here for a very serious purpose. Very serious purpose. Something's out of control, but we're going to put it in control very quickly like we did on the southern border. I'm announcing a historic action to rescue our nation's capital from crime, bloodshed, bedlam and squalor and worse. This is Liberation Day in D.C. and we're going to take our capital back.
Mike Benz
Trump posting. The homeless have to move out immediately. We will give you places to stay, but far from the Capitol. Trump has suggested in the past that the federal government should take over the city and threatened to have the Fed step in after a former worker for Elon Musk's department Doge Group was assaulted during an attempted carjacking last week.
Donald Trump
We have a capital that's very unsafe. We're going to do something about it.
Mike Benz
Over the weekend, more than 100 federal agents were deployed across D.C. in a massive anti carjacking operation. Trump also suggesting trying young teenagers as young as 14 as adults.
Donald Trump
I thought it was very respectful that the president of Russia is coming to our country as opposed to us going to his country or even a third third party. But I think we'll have constructive conversations then. After that, the next meeting will be with Zelensky and Putin or Zelensky and Putin and me. I'll be there if they need.
Jack Posobiec
President Trump preparing for a historic and high stakes summit with Vladimir Putin inviting the Russian president to US soil for the first time in nearly 10 years.
Donald Trump
I think my instinct really tells me that we have a shot at it. We have a shot at it. Look, it's, it's got to be solved.
Jack Posobiec
The president has already suggested any deal would involve, quote, swapping of territories, something Vladimir Zelinsky has made clear he will not do. Saying Ukrainians will not give their land to the Occupier. Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily here live. Washington, D.C. today is August 11, 2025, Anno Domini Human Events Daily. Back incredible trip to Poland. Had the opportunity to attend the inauguration of the great new populist nationalist president Carol Nosky there in Warsaw. And of course, we also got to see the news that Carol Novrotsky, the president of Poland, will soon be visiting the US President here coming up in September. But here's something that's interesting that was breaking while we were over in Poland. President Trump made a series of statements gearing up towards and really building towards what we saw today in the White House, the liberation of Washington, D.C. and what President Trump announced this morning, the federalization of the Washington D.C. metropolitan Police Department. Now, this is being done under, evoking, invoking the Home Rule act of Washington, D.C. and of course, he has all and full constitutional authority to do this. It's certainly something that is within his legal remit. And more to the point, it's something that needs to be done because of the outrageous street violence in Washington, D.C. look, I don't need to go to these statistics, although I would point out that one of the commanders of the D.C. police Force was just fired for cooking the books or juking the stats. That's what they were doing. Crime in Washington, D.C. is out of control. And you don't have. I don't have to go to some, you know, random source of statistics. I know this because I take my kids here, all right? Because I've been here for all this time. Tanya and I, when we go down to Washington, D.C. we know you stay within a very strict corridor. You don't step out of that. And you certainly don't go out for too long after night with little kids because after that falls absolute chaos. And you see the stories again and again. A guy being shot and killed while defending his girlfriend. Carjackings all over the place, many, in many cases, fatal. All right, this is nuts. It's completely insane. And so thank God President Trump is now coming in. And he's also, by the way, going to be bringing in the National Guard to be able to go in and clean up the streets. Bravo. President Trump, thank God. Clean it up. Not only in terms of the crime, you got to get the drugs off the street, too. The drug dealers, the people who are walking around. The whole city smells like drugs all the time. Even in the tourist areas, you can't take children anywhere. Right. It smells disgusting. It smells awful. It smells, it's clearly something that's not, as they say, it's just not reflective of what our national capital should be. And I was in Poland last week. I was in the Polish national capital. Guess what, their murder rate, less than one per 100,000. Less than one. In Washington D.C. it's 41. So murder rate is 60 times lower in Warsaw, which is a city that has a larger, I believe has a larger population than Washington D.C. it's certainly much bigger geographically. And so why is this? It's very simple. Because they take the laws seriously and because, you know, if you break the law in Poland, if you break the law in Warsaw, you're going to go away. They're not going to let you right back out on the street. Now Washington D.C. has lost its ability and lost its privilege of self rule. And honestly, when I hear President Trump say we want to take a look at New York and Baltimore and Detroit and Chicago and Philadelphia and Los Angeles, I say thank God. Thank God we have a president who actually wants to fix the problems of the public lawlessness in this country. We need law and order all across the United States of America and we need it now. The citizens of the United States are in your debt for this. President Trump. God bless you. You're right back, Jack.
Donald Trump
Stand in our way wave and our golden age has just begun.
Kenny Cody
This is Human Events with Jack Pos.
Jack Posobiec
Now it's time for everyone to understand what America first truly means. Welcome to the second American Revolution. All right, Jack, here we are back Human events daily, Washington D.C. we are back in Washington D.C. it's been a while. It's gone for 10 days. My gosh, it felt great to be out of here, folks. Every day gold and silver are in the news and they're in the news right now with President Trump announcing that gold will be excluded from the tariffs. Now we know that they're testing the all time highs with the uncertainty of war, inflation, interest rates and of course the tariffs which are putting precious metals and so much more to literally the limit. Folks, today when the tariff news came in, and this is directly from President Trump himself, he posted it on Truth Social. Gold will not be tariff. Now people always ask me, they say how can I get involved in the gold sector? And the answer is simple. The answer is allegiance Gold. Whether you're a collector looking for the best pricing in the precious metal space or you're looking to protect your future, doesn't matter. It's $5,000 or even $5,000,000. Now is the time to act. Just go to protectwithposto.com and get started. Allegiance Gold has the top ratings in the industry. I've been partnered with them for years.

Call 844-577-POSO or visit protectwithposo.com that's 844-57776 or protectwithposo.com it's smart, secure and simple. Call 844-57776. All right, I want to go now because President Trump, in addition to all of his incredible announcements about Washington, D.C. he also said something that's really going to set up and preview going to happen this Friday in Alaska. Let's play that.
Donald Trump
Russia's tough because they just keep on fighting. They beat Hitler. So did we. And they beat Napoleon. You know, they've been doing this for a long time. I asked a question to a very, very smart man that some people like and some people don't like. Viktor Orban, right, from Hungary, the head of Hungary, and he's in that same area and knows the two countries very well. I said, this was before Biden didn't do anything to get us out of it. He could have gotten out of that. It would have never happened. I said, so can Russia be beaten by Ukraine? He looked at me like, what a stupid question. He said, Russia is a massive country and they win their country and they win their life through wars. They fight wars. That's what they do. He said, China beat you with trade. Russia beats you with war.
Jack Posobiec
All right, Jack Posobic. Now, of course, you know that we had an interview with Prime Minister Orban asking about this as well as other things just a couple of months ago. President Trump also talking about meeting with Viktor Orban discussing these questions. Now, the bilateral meeting, it all comes to a head this Friday on US Soil. But far, far, far up in the snowy north, though, it's not that snowy right now because it's summertime. Alaska, Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump, Mike Benz joins us now to break down this historic summit which and by the way, I've checked, folks, this will be the very first time a Russian leader even going back to imperial times has ever set foot in Alaska and the first time that Putin has been to the United States since 2015. Let's bring him in. What's up? Are you not hearing me?
Unnamed Guest
Sorry, I just lost the audio.
Jack Posobiec
All right, guys, let's, let's stand by on Mike for a minute. I'll just have the producers double check with him, run that audio test. We'll did a test during the break and it seemed like it was okay, but we'll double check that right now. Folks, what we're seeing is that President Trump has run an end around on all of this. President Trump is bypassing the globalists. He's bypassing the Europeans. He's bypassing all of the neoliberals. He's bypassing the entire establishment. In fact, he's even bypassing brics. He's saying, you know what? This is going to come down. What have we said here on Human Events Daily since day one. Since day one, I have told you on this program that the only way that this will end is when we see direct talks between the leaders of the United States and the leaders of Russia. None of this other stuff. You know, we're going to, oh, send this over and this package, and this is going to get done, and that's going to get done. I said, no, you've got to cut out the entire rest and go for the one on one summit. Now. It's happening in absolutely stunning fashion. President Trump set to sit down with Vladimir Putin this Friday in Alaska. And then the Russians are putting out some information saying that Trump himself might be traveling to Russia for the next in a series of meetings. All right, I think we have Mike Benz back.
Unnamed Guest
Yeah. Hey, how you doing, Jack?
Jack Posobiec
Hey. There we go. So Ben's walk us through this move. And it's, it's such a brilliant masterstroke here because President Trump is skipping all over, I think, the steps that were actually obstacles to the peace process and saying, you know what? I'm going to deal with this one myself.
Unnamed Guest
All the biggest obstacles to the peace process are right here in Washington, D.C. which is why I think it's fitting to have this in the most remote part of the United States, as well as quite adjacent to Kamchatka in, in Russia. This is, you know, famously the, the place that Sarah Palin said she could look out her back door and see Russia. So it's almost like a Sarah Palin totally vindicated.
Jack Posobiec
By the way, Sarah Palin has been totally vindicated.
Unnamed Guest
But Trump's great opponents in trying to strike peace have not been Putin or I would argue, even Zelensky, but rather the, the Phalanx of blob corps, blob corpse sort of army corps from the Blob who are on both sides of the Atlantic, from the legacy DC Internationalist mafia, together with the transatlantic side of the NATO cabal who have tried to sabotage the peace process at every turn. If it was folks, remember right before the previous round of peace talks with Russia and Ukraine, Mike Pompeo traveled over to Ukraine, gave a speech about the need to unsettle the peace process by attacking Putin. And the very next day, the very, the largest attack on, on Russia's territory was set off by Ukraine, which scuttled the peace process. So you have this, you know, this, this core of folks who make their living off of war with Russia, off of seizing assets from Eurasia, who do not want peace, certainly do not want peace under the terms that Trump I think would be willing, which include giving up land in Ukraine. The fact is, is that land in Ukraine that Russia has seized has been under a coup government for 11 years. It was the Obama administration's toppling the overthrow of the democratically elected government of Ukraine in 2014 that caused Eastern Ukraine, which is majority Russian ethnic, to break away. What would we do in the United States in that situation if a foreign government toppled our own and then one side of our country broke away and did not respect the new coup government? I mean, that was, that was what happened here. And so Ukraine sort of ceased to become Ukraine after the 2014 Maidan coup. It became a NATO owned western half and a Russia affinity eastern half. So the, the seizing of this, this land, which frankly is not even all that great a territorial dominion, is something that I think Putin is, is bent on. He does not want to give up land for peace now that he controls that land. And what good is giving that back anyway? As soon as a Democrat gets in power or as soon as a Nikki Haley Republican gets in power, they're going to try to seize that land. They're going to use that land to build NATO missiles on. We know that Ukraine is still ostensibly on a path to NATO accession. NATO has made no promises that it would not fold Ukraine into NATO. In fact, they're moving ahead with it. And even if they did promise it, who in the right mind would believe it after all the lies that NATO has told about stopping expansion? So with that all said, I think that the only path to peace is through Ukraine giving up land, land that it frankly should not have, you know, should not have taken through a 2014 coup and left the entire eastern state helpless. I mean, The Eastern Ukrainians were being murdered by American military muscle that was being thrown for from 2014 to 2022 at the Ukrainian military in order to seize that back. So Trump needs to conduct these negotiations in, in peace, in tranquility and in Alaska.
Jack Posobiec
And I it's so symbolic. Alaska, of course, originally discovered by the Russians, as a matter of fact, all the way back in the 1700s. And I've always said that America is a country that was founded amongst empires. So the Russian Empire was on the continent of North America, as well as the Spanish, everyone knows the British, the French were here all the way up through the French, what eventually became the Louisiana Purchase. And so you just see empire after empire. The Dutch, you know, even had, you know, many holdings, New York City. And so the fact that you're, you're having it in this place where and of course, by the way, the Russian Orthodox Church, most of the natives up in Alaska are in fact Russian Orthodox. And so this is something where a lot of people will be asking, why are they doing it up there? But it makes a lot of sense for a number of reasons also, which we're coming up on a break here real quick. Also, which because there is that ICC warrant out for Putin regarding the Ukraine war. But the United States, of course, famously does not uphold ICC warrants, does not enforce them. And so, of course, this is a country that he actually can travel to without having to worry about any of the legal framework that the ICC would run into. That, of course, prevented him from attending some of the brick summits like the one in Brazil recently. Jack Posic, Mike Benz, right back. Human Events Daily, Real America's Voice.
Donald Trump
You talk about influencers. These are influencers and they're friends of mine. Jack, where's Jack? He's got a great job.
Jack Posobiec
All right, Jack. Pacific. We are back. Human Events Daily on with Mike Benz. We're talking about the significance of the Trump Putin meeting that is widely expected to take place on Friday. It's been announced that it'll take place on Friday. I think likely that it will take place in Anchorage, though, of course. And of course, it could take place as well on a military base. There certainly are plenty up there in the Anchorage region or others. You're just going need that much infrastructure for media and two heads of state, the two largest nuclear powers in the world, to hold a meeting like this. Certainly, by the way, puts Alaska on, you know, on the map once again, the history of the U.S. and Russia in Alaska. You talk about the U.S. and Russia having a strong competition by the way, in the north, in the Northern Sea, going across the Arctic, which is going to be one of the seminal competitive flashpoints coming up over the next century. And in fact, it's something that puts natural resources, I would even say, on the map as well, looking at things like pebble mine, that, that Russia, of course, exploits the resources of Siberia directly across the strait, but of course, America does not and largely leaves many of those natural resources behind and because of regulations. Mike Benz, walk us through some of the ideas that we've been hearing for. You know, we haven't gotten quite a full readout of what, you know, what the offers are going to be when it comes to the negotiations here. Russia, I think, of course, pushing for all four of the contested oblasts. JD Vance saying yesterday that, you know, they'd be looking for basically a ceasefire along the line of contact, which would not include the entirety of all four of the oblasts. And I think there's a new phrase that's been going around talking this idea of de facto, de facto recognition of Russian control of these areas, which is not quite the same thing as complete acceptance of this and, and similar in many ways to Kosovo as well. Mike, the floor is yours.
Unnamed Guest
Well, what they want to do is, is they want to freeze the losses so that what NATO wants is to freeze the losses, to stop losing territory, to stop losing men and, and young people, old people, imported people, so that after a fair amount of time and rebuilding of Ukraine and rearming of Ukraine, they can seize those oblasts and seize Crimea at a time when the growth rate of Ukraine and, and Europe and a favorable administration in the US would be able to win this war in a way that they cannot presently. This is why I always refer to this as a kind. What NATO is offering is a peace fire. It's, it's a peace deal ceasefire, but the emphasis is on fire. They. If you listen to Mike Pompeo's speech, for example, before, right before Ukraine launched its latest, deadliest attack on, on Russian territory, Pompeo was asked, when do you think this war could end? And Pompeo made the argument that it'll never end, that even in a scenario of peace, Russia will still be the devil, Russia will still be the great menace to European security. And so even with a peace deal, we have to keep fighting the war. And of course, this is because what NATO wants is to keep seizing the assets they want to sees the $75 trillion worth of natural resources in Russia and Ukraine is a stop along that journey. But it's A very pivotal stop because of its geostrategic location. But I think what Russia wants is an agreement that Ukraine will not join NATO. What Russia wants is keeping at least large swaths of the territory that it has acquired militarily. Certainly that will include include Crimea. The idea that Russia could lose its only warm water port I think would be disastrous for Russia to give up and I think they feel they have no need to give it up. Of course the, the counterweight to this is NATO is building its biggest ever NATO base right on the Black Sea in Romania after what appeared to be a total coup of the Romanian government, annulling the first round election, indicting the the populist candidate Caitlin Georgescu who won that election and then appearing to sabotage that entire election process through the courts the same way the Brazil courts have have been co opted in that in that manner. But I think that NATO hopes that it can build up that military base in Romania and it can fund this new European army that Germany and France are spearheading. I think they've already allocated billions of dollars to this new kind of European army concept together with renewed.
Jack Posobiec
Just, just I'm looking at the clock and I realize I only have you for two more minutes. Walk just zoom out like can we zoom out for a little bit here and say the US and Russia meeting a larger strategic agreement between the two of them. This hope that President Trump has spoken of of pivoting Russia perhaps against China breaking up the BRICS bloc. How much of a threat is this to the transatlantic axis?
Unnamed Guest
Well it's an enormous one. The much of that transatlantic axis is now allied with China and they don't want I think a Russia China conflict. There's obviously Russia has been driven into China's arms because of all this. The sanctions policy that the Obama admin led against Russian oil and gas and any trade between Europe and Russia since 2014 when the Obama State Department threw a hissy fit that Russia simply backed the faction of a of of Ukraine that Obama isolated in a coup. But effectively the we blew up the Nord Stream pipeline. So Russia is now reconnecting all of its gas through the power of Siberia 2 pipeline to China. So China's getting bargain basement discount prices on Russian gas that could have been cheap gas for Europeans. But but the fact is is there is a significant amount of benefit to an American Russian partnership. In fact even the Obama Hillary Clinton folks knew this coming into 2014 when Obama campaigned in 2012 on on saying that the 1980s called they want their foreign policy back When Mitt Romney accused Russia, Obama being soft on Russia, you had Hillary Clinton doing business with Russia. Uranium One.
Jack Posobiec
It's going to be absolutely historic. Mike Benz, where can people follow you, brother?
Unnamed Guest
Follow me on X at Mike Ben Cyber, also on YouTube and Rumble.
Jack Posobiec
Make sure you're following him. Folks, all eyes are on Russia. All eyes on Alaska. The northern summit approaches and folks, the north remembers. It's all about ending the killing. That's how you connect the line between Russia, Ukraine, Alaska and this new announcement for American cities. Right back, Jack the Sobic Human events, real America's voice.
Donald Trump
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 public.
Jack Posobiec
All right, Jack Wisoba, here we are back live Human events daily, Washington D.C. folks, it's very simple. It's time to make cities great again. We talk about society and we talk about civilization. We talk about western civilization. And there's an incredible amount of rural areas in the United States. I love them, I love small town America. But there's something about cities. The purpose of civilization is to create cities. Cities are an expression of your civilization. And I'm not talking about our cities as the way they are. I'm talking about our cities as the way they were. What is history if not the history of cities? Moscow, rome, London, Washington D.C. today, Hollywood, Silicon Valley, Palo Alto, if you want the actual city name. Cities are the backbone of your economic powerhouses and your power bases for every country. New York City, everyone knows this, this is how it works. And you need, of course, all of the other areas as well for your country to be able to run. But if your cities are in a state of collapse, if your cities are in a state of disarray, then your country is in disarray. And so I talked about a tactical retreat physically. When I say we used to say get out of cities, I meant that in terms of the context was 2020, and the context was cities where George Soros DAs were running rampant, crime all over the streets, violence kicking off everywhere. And so I said, yeah, get out of the cities. However, it's now time for phase two. And phase two is we take back our cities, make cities great again. I want to bring on now Kenny Cody because Kenny wrote an op ed this weekend all about this. And in fact, it presaged the announcement from President Trump this morning. Kenny, how are You?
Kenny Cody
I'm great, Jack. How are you doing, brother?
Jack Posobiec
So tell us about this op, Ed. Obviously you were focusing on DC Itself, but walk us through the mechanisms and the really circumstances that led to this announcement earlier today.
Kenny Cody
Well, you know, of course, the, the assault of a federal official, Big Balls as people know him as on social media and through mainstream media getting assaulted. I think that's kind of what preempted this, this, this maneuver today and the announcement today of federal law enforcement taking over the D.C. police departments. But this is something that's been a long time coming with the increasing violence that's been going on in our nation's capital. And remember, this is where all great American monuments, the example of American excellence is existed in Washington, D.C. when foreign diplomats come here, when big business want to come here and invest within our states, in our cities and our and throughout the rest of the country, they come to D.C. and they want to see American excellence. They want to see American tradition and the erosion of the last 20 to 25 years, from D.C. being a symbol of American greatness to now it being a city of lawlessness and crime and murder and assault. I mean, we've seen more federal officials, federal staffers that have been assaulted and killed within the last few months more than about any other time throughout American history because of the lawlessness. It isn't a associated targeted attack oftentimes. It's just the amount of crime per square mile that DC Deals with on a regular basis. And it's been existed more the last six months than probably any other time over the last four years besides 2020. Trump saw this going on. Trump continues to see the lawlessness not only in D.C. but in cities like Detroit, Chicago, Los Angeles, Memphis and other cities where violence is skyrocketing and a precedent has to be set. This is how lawlessness is going to be eradicated. This is how lawlessness needs to be treated. And we need to make an example of Washington, D.C. make it a sim, a symbol of American greatness again. And if that's not, that's not going to happen, then these kind of maneuvers need to be done throughout America. There needs to be federal law enforcement, the National Guard and other avenues used to establish law, safety and sanity within our cities. Because if democratic leadership in these cities and progress, progressive leadership in these cities continue to advocate for defunding the police and a lack of a priority of social justice over human life continues to happen, the same thing that's happening in DDC today needs to be happening in our other cities tomorrow.
Jack Posobiec
And look you know, you talk about Washington, D.C. and, and by the way, so President Trump has the ability to invoke the Home Rule act for Washington, D.C. so, of course he can go in directly, federalize the metropolitan police force, end in which. Completely legal. Completely. It's been on the works for 50 years. And then you go back even to the constitution itself. Washington D.C. has always been a federal district. However, when you talk about the federal government's ability to fight crime in other big cities, people say, oh, you can't do this. Excuse me, excuse me. Presidents from Lincoln to Eisenhower to Nixon to Johnson all understood that the federal government has a role. When crime gets out of control. When crime. That should be your bumper sticker. When crime gets out of control, the federal government has a role. We have laws from the Insurrection act to the Organized Crime Control act, law after law after law that are currently on the books, national emergency laws that the President has at his disposal as well, by the way, as his ability to come in and say, if a city does not comply with these requirements, a series of new requirements, for example, then you can cut off all federal funding to that city. So there's so many ways that the President can do this. And I say this as someone who grew up in the Philadelphia area, not far from Baltimore, not far from New York, and I've seen how these once great cities have descended into absolute abject chaos. Washington, D.C. as well, this entire. And you can name the city, and they're all in the same situation. St. Louis, Birmingham, Chicago, Detroit, etc. It's a joke. It's a national crisis and it absolutely has to be dealt with.
Kenny Cody
Well, 100%. Look at new York City, the new mayor. Well, not the new mayor yet, unfortunately, but Zoram Hamdani is literally advocating on defunding the police. He can go back and say, well, I didn't mean that way. I've changed since then, whatever. But the current progressive leadership in these cities is exactly what's eroding American society. It's what. It's eroding America's once great city basis. We have got to set a precedent and hopefully the success from these this. Because I know for a fact whenever the D.C. police unit came out today and said, I'm glad this is happening because of the lack of leadership that this city has within its own boundaries. Now, when you have police unions coming out and saying that, I don't want to hear anything about fascism or anything else about the federal takeover, when the D.C. police union is literally saying, please come help us, our Own leadership cannot. And that's the same thing that needs to happen in other cities. There is a lack of leadership because of that priority of social justice over human life. Now they're.
Jack Posobiec
They're advocating.
Kenny Cody
I'm sorry.
Jack Posobiec
Oh, no, I was going to say. And to that point, Kenny, I want to play SOT1 right now.
Donald Trump
Guys fight back until you knock the hell out of them because it's the only language they understand. But they fought back against law enforcement last night and they're not going to be fighting back long because I've instructed them and told them whatever happens, you know, they love to spit in the face of the police. As the police are standing up there in uniform, they're standing, happening, and they're screaming at them an inch away from their face and then they start spitting in their face. And I said, you tell them you spit and we hit. And they can hit real hard. It's a disgusting thing. I've watched that for years. For three, four years I've watched them. The police are standing and they're told, don't do anything under any search. So they're. And you can see they want to get at it. And they're standing there and people are spitting in their face and they're not allowed to do anything. But now they are allowed to do whatever the hell they want.
Jack Posobiec
I love it. You spit. We hit when the looting starts, the shooting starts. That's how crime gets out of control. So the. So the police have to get in. The police have to get in before that takes place. Kenny, this is something, man. And I remember, you know, looking back in history, Frank Rizzo, the great Frank Rizzo of, of Washington or excuse me, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He. His spirit is now looking down on Washington D.C. he got to crack down on these thugs all out of doubt.
Kenny Cody
And that, that's the entire point. It's just like what you just said. Like Trump says that the police have been disenfranchised for so long and they have been. I mean, these progressive cities literally put police departments on the lowest spectrum of priority, the lowest spectrum of respect as they can establish. And when that happens, citizens don't respect their police departments anymore. Like in Los Angeles, when petty crimes are being allowed to walk freely, like you're allowed to go and rob a convenience store without any sort of penalty because it's the same as a traffic violation. I mean, those are the kinds of policies that are. That progressive cities and progressive governance is making police departments, it not be respected at all. Like they, they are thought of so Low on the totem pole like they're from England with just back with just, you know, such a low priority. There's not respected. They're such on the low end term like they're traffic cops or something and they need to be respected. They get spit and get hit priority. And there's an inspector, his statement is so important there because that's exactly the.
Jack Posobiec
There's a new sheriff in town, folks and his name is President Donald John Trump. Right back. Jack Wasoba, Kenny Cody, Human events, real markers daily.
Donald Trump
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 quite a gift.
Jack Posobiec
Hey man.
Donald Trump
Going to be removing homeless encampments from all over our parks, our beautiful, beautiful parks which now a lot of people can't walk on. They've been very, very dirty. Very got a lot of problems but we've already started that. We're moving the encampments away, trying to take care of people. Some of those people, we don't know how they even got there. Some of those people are from different countries, different parts of the world. Nobody knows who they are. They have no idea. But they're there. Getting rid of the people from underpasses and public spaces from all over the city. There are many places that they can go and we're going to help them as much as you can help. But they'll not be allowed to turn our capital into a wasteland for the world. Washington today is higher than that of Bogota, Colombia. Mexico City, Some of the places that you hear about as being the worst places on earth, Much higher. This is much higher. The number of car thefts has doubled over the past five years. And the number of carjackings has more than tripled. Our capital city has been overtaken by violent gangs and bloodthirsty criminals. Roving mobs of wild youth, drugged out maniacs and homeless people. And we're not going to let it happen anymore. We're not going to take it.
Jack Posobiec
Oh man. I just, I almost want. I almost want. Guys, guys. I never do this. I never do this. We have to do it. I'm sorry, guys. We have to do it. Play that last side of Trump again. You got to play that last clip again. It was just so good.
Donald Trump
The murder rate in Washington today is higher than that of Bogota, Colombia. Mexico City, Some of the places that you hear about as being the worst Places on earth much higher. This is much higher. The number of car thefts has doubled over the past five years and the number of carjackings has more than tripled. Our capital city has been overtaken by violent gangs and bloodthirsty criminals, roving mobs of wild youth, drugged out maniacs and homeless people. And we're not going to let it happen anymore. We're not going to take it.
Jack Posobiec
You can hear it in his voice there, the drugged out maniacs, the homeless people. That's President Trump focusing on the main quest. The main quest is very simple. It's really simple. It's four little words. Make America great again. We are positively taking steps to make America great again. By removing the illegals from this country and cleaning up our cities, we are going to fix the home front. Cities are the beating heart of our culture. Cities are where ideas collide. Cities are where commerce and community and innovation and societies write their legacies. That is the point of cities. What do we have now with decadence, degradation? You look like the Weimar Republic out there. Why America? No, no. America deserves better. Our kids deserve better. I don't want to have to be spelling weed anytime I take my kids anywhere in the city or a national park. It's all got to be done. Kenny. Cody. I want to get Kenny back in here because Kenny, the MAGA movement was born on a Golden escalator on Fifth Avenue 10 years ago. President Trump, of course he is Mr. New York. He worked with Rudy Giuliani to clean up New York City. And you can tell this. And that's why I played the clip twice. This one is personal to him.
Kenny Cody
Yeah, I think it is. I think when somebody has worked in real estate and worked in cleaning up New York City for most of his life. I lived in D.C. long enough now in his second term to see something has to change. And he's taken over control of a federal district and its police force to clean up our streets. He's cleaning up America by deporting illegal immigrants and giving jobs back to Americans. And when companies, when foreign diplomats, when a lot of other people come into this country and go to D.C. and they look and see the homeless, they look and see crime. They have to be scared for their lives. And they travel in Ubers and taxis throughout the city. If they want to go and see a monument, they have to go at a specific hour. That shouldn't be how things work anymore. And it shouldn't be how things work in any single metropolitan city in the United States. In Chicago, Louisiana, Memphis or Any other city that has history that is, should be an example of American greatness. We should not have to look over our, should make sure we're going to get mucked.
Jack Posobiec
Don't, don't bury the lead, brother. Don't bury the lead. Memphis, Tennessee Tell me a little bit about Memphis, Tennessee, about what sort of the public view of Memphis is and how it actually is right now.
Kenny Cody
I mean, I think the public view of Memphis is it was once the city of Elvis Presley, it was once the city of Graceland, it was once the city of where country music and jazz musicians went to thrive, where it was born. But now it is a city full of gun crime, progressive leadership that has a higher murder rate than about any other city in America. And that's exactly what has happened in the city of Memphis, is exactly what's happened in so many other metropolitan areas in the United States. And I think that's. If you took Memphis out of Tennessee and you took Memphis, we would be one of the, one of the highest ranked states in terms of gun death, in terms of violent crime. We'd be one of the safest, safest states in the country because of its leadership and the gun violence that happens there solely because of the progressive leadership. They have some of the highest gun restrictions city wise that there is in the country. But because Tennessee has cities that succeed, like Nashville, like Knoxville, like Chattanooga, that doesn't have high crime rates at all. But because we have Memphis, we're ranked among the highest in terms of, of crime statistics because of one city. But that's exactly what has happened in every city in America. American greatness, Tennessee greatness, state by state greatness is being cast aside because of progressive leadership and Marxist priority of social justice over actually protecting human life and American greatness on the, on the, on the home front, like you just said. And if things like, I feel the.
Jack Posobiec
Same way, clean up. I feel the same way. Coming from the Philadelphia area, you know, every Fourth of July people will play, you know, videos or, you know, John Adams miniseries clips from, you know, the signing of the Declaration of Independence. And that's sort of like the Philadelphia. Or even if you watch Rocky, you kind of have this vision of Philadelphia, but then you go and look at Philly on any, on the actual 4th of July weekend and it's, it's shootings, it's drive bys, it's a dump. Philadelphia has become an absolute dump. It's a place where I certainly don't spend a lot of time with my kids. I've taken them in And I'm taking them out right away because that's how it's become. And I don't want it to be like that. And I'm telling you, man, I just got back from Poland, I just got back from Warsaw, which is, is a huge city. And you know what's great about that is they don't, they don't take it at 1.8 million. All right, 1, about 2 million people who live in Warsaw. That's, that is a world city by any standard, certainly by Western standards, by Chinese standards, a little. It's nowhere near that large. I think Shanghai is like 25 million. It's completely insane. But by the way, by the way, even Shanghai, as big as it is, and even Tokyo, as like, it's like 30 million as big as they are. Guess what? They don't have the crime problems. And why don't they have the crime problems? It's because they enforce the law last minute. To you, Kenny Cody, man, that's something.
Kenny Cody
That needs to be prioritized in making America great again is about image. It's about saving the American people, giving them those opportunities that were not there before. And the first thing comes in deporting illegal immigrants and imprisoning criminals that are trashing our cities, that are killing our people, that are taking opportunity away from hardworking Americans. And President Trump is doing that and saying that president today by federalizing D.C. and it needs to be, it needs to happen to set the president for the rest of the country.
Jack Posobiec
Yeah. By the way, I just pulled it up. So Warsaw is bigger than Philadelphia, bigger than Phoenix. It would be the fifth largest city in the United States if it was over here. And yet less, less than one murder, one homicide per 100,000. That's the murder rate in Warsaw 60 times lower than that of Washington, D.C. kenny Cody, where can people go to follow you and track this new op ed that you just put out?
Kenny Cody
It's pinned on my Twitter profile at Katie Cody tn. You can follow me on True Social at the same username and find all my articles archived@human events.com Folks, President Trump.
Jack Posobiec
And you could hear it from his voice up there at the podium today in the White House. Main quest. Stay main quest. We are fixing the homeland. You fix the cities, you fix the homeland. You get the illegals out, you get the criminals out, you get the drugs out, and you clean the place up. You make Fortress America to literally be that shining city on the hill. And you know something? The city needs a little bit of work. So President Trump, thank you for your work to make cities great again. Ladies and gentlemen, as always, you have my permission to lay ashore.
