Christ is how much did the city of New York actually spend on illegal immigration? 6.9 billion of taxpayers, $6.9 billion of taxpayer money on a problem that was fostered on the American people. Mayor Wu, in the city of Boston, how much did you spend?
Jack Posobiec
We don't ask about immigration status and delivering.
Byron Donalds
You don't ask about how much money the city of Boston has spent on illegal immigration. Are you out of your mind?
Jack Posobiec
Between immigration status, do you manage your budget or not?

Mayor, that is every crime committed by an illegal alien, every child raped by an illegal alien, every, every public safety threat by an illegal alien could have been prevented because they're not supposed to be here. It doesn't matter who does. These are preventable crimes. If we secure the border.
Jack Posobiec
The House has resolved that Representative Al Green be censured, that Representative Al Green forthwith present himself in the well of the House of Representatives for the pronouncement of censure and that Representative Al Green be censured.

It's like you right now should come out and be like, you know what, the young man who's about to win the state championship in the long jump in female sports, that's that. That shouldn't happen. You as the governor should step out, say no.
No. And I appreciate but like, would you.
Do something like that? Would you say no? Men in female well, I think it's.
An issue of fairness. I completely agree with you on that. So that's easy to call out the unfairness of that. There's also a humility and grace. You know, that these poor people are more likely to commit suicide, have anxiety and depression. And the way that people talk down to vulnerable communities is an issue that I have a hard time with as well. So both things I can hold in my hand.
Jack Posobiec
Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard. Today's issue edition of Human Events Daily here in Washington, D.C. today is 3-2-6, 2025 Anno Domini. You saw that clip right there from Governor Gavin Newsom talking with Charlie Kirk, saying that he opposes trans and women's sports, but also that there's a certain humility, there's a grace, if you will, with his weird fake Jack Nicholson accent to it's like, dude, clear your throat for the love of God. You got marbles in there. So you have these people that he's saying who experience suicidal tendencies, suicidal ideation if they don't get their trans surgery or as it's referred to gender affirming care. However, all of that was debunked in a study that no one seems to be talking about. So it falls to us Human Events Daily as usual to talk about it. This is in the Oxford Journal of Sign of Sexual Medicine examining gender specific mental health risks after gender affirming surgery. A national database survey results and you need to hear this number. Leave it up on the screen, guys. From 107,583 patients match cohorts demonstrated that those undergoing surgery were at significantly higher risk for depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation and substance use disorders than those without the surgery. Males with the surgery showed a higher prevalence of depression 25% versus 11%, anxiety 12% versus 2%. Females exhibited similar trends with elevated depression 22% versus 14%, anxiety 10% versus 7%. Here we go. Feminizing individuals. So when you have male to female transgender surgery demonstrated a particularly high risk for depression nearly at a rate of 1.783 and substance use disorders at 1.2. So that means almost double the risk of depression, almost double the risk of depression. If you have this surgery, what are we doing to their children? What are we doing? People laugh about this stuff. You talk about suicides, you talk about teen suicides, you talk about all the suicides that are going on out there. What are we doing? All the doctors who knew about this need to be investigated. They have need to have their licenses revoked. Any clinic, any survey out there, any, any center that's running this needs to be shut down immediately. President Trump, Bobby Kennedy pull all the funding. We'll be right back.

Jack Posobiec
Welcome to the second American Revolution. All right, Jack, here we are back live. Washington, D.C. very excited to have once again here on Human Events Daily. We've got Florida Congressman Byron Donalds joining us here. He's live. He's up there putting the hurt on a number of these sanctuary city mayors. Yesterday in the hearing, the Congressman joins us now. Congressman, how are you?
Byron Donalds
It's good to be with you, Jack. Thanks for having me back, man.
Jack Posobiec
Well, walk me through this, this hearing. And it seems like you went through to me asking very basic questions of these mayors. Hey, where's your, where's your budget on this? Okay, where, where's your balance sheet? This is how much money you have? This is how much money was spent on these illegals. Can you tell me how much Was there any of them that could even give you the an answer?
Byron Donalds
The only one that actually even gave me a number was Mayor Adams of New York. At least he came prepared understanding what the hearing was about. The other three, they were trying to defend the same crazy, crazy agenda from Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and the Democrat Party. And it was so crazy. Like really what pissed me off was they the non answers given to so many of my colleagues on basic stuff like would you work with ICE if they have a detainer for an illegal immigrant? And they kept going down this line of well, if it's a criminal detainer, yeah, we'll do it. Which means that if ICE just puts in the order for deportation procedures, you have these blue city mayors that will protect the illegal immigrants against following federal law and orders from ICE and from the Trump administration. So by the time questioning got to me, I was already upset and furious with them. And then we started going through just the details of well, how much money did you spend? And they couldn't even give you a clear answer, which demonstrates that they are not serious about following the will of the American people. And I would add the will of the citizens of their own cities. Because if you ask people in Chicago, in New York, in Denver, in Boston, they don't want to see rampant illegal immigration and see their taxpayer dollars go to protecting it. Their citizens are sick of it. So that's why they had to be exposed yesterday in committee.
Jack Posobiec
That's exactly right. And of course the mayor of Philadelphia didn't even show up. And I remember you spent so much time in Philadelphia during the 2024 election, going there, meeting with people, actually finding out what the voters concerns were. I'm from the Philadelphia area originally and they won't even show their face when it comes to one of these situations because they know that the situant, the constituents and the residents of the city are sick of this and they're sick of the idea people who shouldn't be here in the first place are put at the very front of the line when it comes to taxpayer funding.
Byron Donalds
No, that's absolutely correct. I mean, Mayor Adams said they spent about $7 billion. I think I had the number right. $7 billion is what he said. And then you have Mayor Johnson in Chicago, this idiot, he goes, well, it's 1% of our budget. Well, what is that number? I asked him several times, what's the number? He keeps saying 1% of your budget. And I don't think he was being accurate, but that's what he kept saying in committee. And so the question is, if you're the mayor and you don't even know how much money you've spent on this, that's a problem. But to a bigger. On a bigger note, they spent their time blaming Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott for their illegal immigration problems when it was Joe Biden that unleashed this massive illegal immigration on our country. And they didn't do anything to try to get Joe Biden to reverse course. We're just happy that the American people did the heavy lifting, getting rid of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and bringing Donald Trump back.
Jack Posobiec
And it's. It's as simple as that. It really is as simple as that. By the way, 1% of the. I mean, the budget of the. I love when they played that game, right? It's just 1%. Like what? USAID was just 1% of the federal budget, or, you know, it's less than 1%. No, when you're talking about budgets like this, I'm sure that the budget of Chicago is probably something like 15, 20 million dollars or, excuse me, billion dollars. So 1% of that is an extremely large amount of money. But of course, they try to play these games with the numbers. That was just 1%. You know, it's just 1%. Like, if I go to my wife and I said, don't worry, sweetheart, I only spent 1% of our income, you know, giving it to the, you know, the drug dealers down the street. It's totally fine. Don't worry about it. No, I think Tanya is going to be a little upset with me.
Byron Donalds
Not totally agree. Those people aren't serious. And it's. It's really indicative of something else. We have to get serious, tell people the truth. You can't have leadership like this. And what has traditionally been great American cities, like, I'm from Brooklyn, New York. New York's a great city. The government's a mess, and it's trash, especially state government, because Kathy Hochul, she's the worst. She's one of the worst governors we have. She's doing a terrible job in the State of New York. Chicago could be a great city again, but you have the current mayor that's a mess. You have their governor who's a mess. And they're not doing the right thing out there. I mean, look what's happened in California. The Golden State is no longer the Golden State. They have squandered all the precious resources that California has. It's the largest state economy in our country. But their leadership in Sacramento has been atrocious. And this is why Americans are choosing Arizona, choosing Texas, choosing Tennessee, choosing Florida. And by the way, Arizona, you better be careful because your governor is a joke. You need a better one. Hopefully that gets done in a couple years from now. But, you know, that's why people are leaving those states and coming to red states that value liberty, value the Constitution and want citizens to be put first.
Jack Posobiec
Well, that's exactly right. And, you know, we're talking governors, of course. Congratulations to you, by the way, for throwing your hat in the ring for the governor's race. They're going for the seat in Tallahassee. Walk me through this. You know, obviously you're talking about the issue of illegal immigration. Governor DeSantis, of course, has made this a huge part of his portfolio. But is this still a top issue in Florida?
Byron Donalds
It is, absolutely. And I commend the governor and the legislature for coming together and getting that business done. Governor DeSantis has been a leader on this. He absolutely has. Making sure that in Florida, we are not going to allow for sanctuary status and we're going to work with the Trump administration to remove illegal aliens from our country. It was the number one issue on the campaign trail last year. It's still the number one issue. Florida's leading the way on that. And it's really been a blueprint for other governors around the country to join what Florida is doing in order to help the administration get our country into a much more stable place. And this is about stability for the American people and actually getting back to the rule of law. I mean, but that's, that's specific to that issue, still big in our state. So you're going to take that, build upon that, continue that trajectory in order to work with the Trump administration and future administrations so that we do not have an illegal alien crisis, which is man made and politically made in our country going forward.
Jack Posobiec
Well, it really is as simple as that. And when you talk about the basic breakdown in law enforcement, you have these areas all across the country. I know Philadelphia, because that's where I'm from. But you have these cities, these major cities, New York, Chicago, Phoenix, where they won't even participate in the basic legal functions. There's something that I've talked about for a while, and it's this breakdown in the, the attacks on the underpinnings of society itself and civilization itself. When we talk about law and order, it's not, you know, as a conservative, as a Republican, it's not really supposed to be a red versus blue thing. It's supposed to be a, hey, can you live your life? And is your quality of life going to be going up or down? You know, I think everybody agrees that we don't want crime, that we don't want drug dealers, that we don't want criminal illegals. And so, Governor, is that something, or, excuse me, Governor, soon to be governor, soon to be governor in your gubernatorial campaign that, that you'll be highlighting when it comes to really, really contrasting with this, what the other side is putting up?
Byron Donalds
Absolutely. We want Florida to continue to be the model of how you govern a state, how you organize a state. Look, before you get into Republicans and Democrats and news cycles and media reports, the purpose of government is to essentially organize the society, state government, obviously, state the states and the people that live within them in order to have a cohesive, organized model where people can live in harmony and peace, where people can build a business, put food on the table, grow their families, kids can get educated, and you have a harmonious culture that allows for people to be, to just live their best lives, to be fruitful in their lives, to be allowed to have their property, allowed to worship their God, allowed to have relationships with their fellow man. Government's job is just to organize some of the things that people can't do for themselves. So while everybody wants to talk about this new program or how much money we're going to spend over here, we. A lot of times in America, we've forgotten the basics of what government's job is supposed to be. It's supposed to be simple.
Jack Posobiec
Amen.
Byron Donalds
It's supposed to be in the background.
Jack Posobiec
It's as simple as that. Congressman Byron Donald, endorsed by President Trump to be the next governor of Florida. Follow him. Go check him out. That's going to be an interesting race that I think has already started eating up. We're right back here at Human Events Daily.

So there's been a bit of Ukraine news coming in. Axios has a story, a big story in Axio. Senior US and Ukrainian officials expected to meet in Saudi Arabia next week. Now remember, this is coming on the heels of Ukraine being shut out of the original meeting in Saudi Arabia. That was the US and Russia. They were the ones who met together. But let's talk about this from where it is. The big story of the last 24 hours, the US blocking intelligence sharing with the Ukrainians. But there's another piece of this that I think a lot of people missed in that Financial Times article. And I want to go deep in because not only and Mike Waltz been out there talking about this. Keith Kellogg, by the way. General, General Kellogg doing a fantastic job saying that the Ukrainians brought this on themselves. The Ukrainians brought this on themselves, particularly President Zelensky. Look, I was there in the room. I was there in the room the first time that he shut down the mineral deal. Disrespected Secretary Bessant, then he goes to Munich. I flew up to Munich with JD Vance, then shuts that down in Munich, comes all the way back to the United States, to the White House and we all remember what happened there. So they brought this on themselves. But the big part of it, the big part that a lot of people missed is that the US Is also telling five Eyes partners to pause their sharing with the Ukrainians. So what is the Five Eyes system and how does it work? The Five Eyes Intelligence system is an intelligence sharing agreement between the US and the Anglo sphere. So the English speaking countries, these are the five big English speaking countries that the United States shares intelligence with. So what we're doing, what we do in the military or in the intelligence community is we produce these documents, we then share them with our five Eyes partners. So those are the five countries. United States, Canada, uk, Australia, New Zealand. And so what we're also saying is if we share something with you, don't turn around and give it to the Ukrainians because we know that the UK has been there and Keir Starmer is talking about this big, oh, we're going to have, you know, a non NATO European component inside Ukraine. We're going to do all this. And the Trump administration is saying, no, we don't want you to do that. But deep, deep, deep, deep, deep buried lead inside. The Financial Times London article, sources on the ground said that they would continue sharing in country asset information with the Ukrainians. So for the Trump administration, and I know that they've been looking at this, the question is, is Five Eyes itself something that they want to look at? Is the five Eyes program a relic of the Cold War era? Is this something that the United States really still needs to have going forward? Should we look? Because, and I'll tell you right now, I'll say this as a former intelligence officer, the majority, the bulk of the intel that's going into the five Eyes program, guess what? It's produced by the United States. And then on the flip side of that, go look at all the abuses of the five Eyes program. You get the British to come in with GCHQ to spy on Americans. They can do that without the warrant. Then they hand that right, that's the GCHQ is their version of the nsa. Then they go and hand that to the FBI. This is prior to Cash Patel going in there and cleaning house and saying, oh, look at all this information. Go, you know, go look at the derogatory information on Americans. That's how you get the warrantless wiretapping. Why? Because you can't use intel on your own citizens. But if you get one of your buddies to do it and then hand you the report, you're not breaking the law. And the same thing with the NSA in reverse with the U.K. look, there's a lot of abuse there. There's a lot of fraud. There's a lot of use of these tools and these programs which have significant powers, significant anti fourth Amendment powers which we know is something that DNI Tulsi Gabbard is very serious about. So, yeah, you want to play this game, UK we'll play that game. We'll play that game all day long. You want to talk about five eyes? We're here. We're ready to talk about it. In fact, maybe it's time to end the conversation. Be right back. Human Events Daily.

Jack Posobiec
Thank you.

What a job you do. You know, we have an incredible thing we're always talking about, about the fake news and the bad, but we have guys and these are the guys should be getting policies.
Jack Posobiec
All right, Jack Paso. But here we are back. Human events daily, Washington, D.C. so yesterday here on the program did a little bit of a talk we did a little bit of a discussion about someone by the name of Amy Tony Barrett. After the program, I penned an op ed for humanevents.com which has since gone absolutely viral. And I said, Amy Coney Barrett is a warning against the dangers of Republican dei. It shows the danger of Republican DEI when we say, hey, here's someone who says she's a conservative and she's with us on this one issue. And also it's a woman and it's an election year and let's, let's get all behind this. Well, kind of goes to show you that we need to be a little bit more discerning in the future when it comes to these judicial nominees. Someone who knows quite a bit about this process is Mike Davis from the Article 3 project, and he joins us now. Mike, I got to get your take on this situation and where things stand with with us with Amy Coney Barrett with decisions like this on usaid.
Mike Davis
Well, I agree with your assessment on Justice Amy Coney. Barrett's. She was picked because she's a woman to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg. You know, she's a qualified pick, but she certainly was not the best pick. And maybe we should have picked someone who wasn't on the 7th Circuit for two years with a, a just a small track record. She got picked because she had her 7th Circuit hearing that I oversaw as the Senate Judiciary Chairman's chief counsel for nominations, where she, you know, Senator Dianne Feinstein attacked her for being too Catholic, essentially. So that's what made Amy Coney Barrett a star. And I think people got taken by that, and they didn't. They looked at her emotionally instead of rationally. And looking at her record, she's, look, she's not liberal. She's not going to become some turncoat liberal. She's just, you know, she's, she's, she's going into the Chief Justice's camp where she's just kind of incremental in her approach. I would say that she's, that she's weak and that she's scared of her shadow. But incremental might be a, a nicer way to put it. I've also said that she's a rattled law professor with her head up her ass. That's what I say when I'm, when I'm upset. But it's a pretty good assessment. I think your assessment's correct, Jack.
Jack Posobiec
Yeah, and I went through, you know, in the piece, and people go see it@humanvents.com I went through a number of these decisions where, as you say, you know, remember there's those statements she was making like, oh, we need to turn down the temperature. And, you know, I think that was on immunity or one of those other decisions, you know, these, these comments that she's making. And then, of course, that clip of her from president's address the other night where she's, she's just, she's mean mugging him. She's just straight mean mugging President Trump as he walks by there. And I think a lot of people have to look, I mean, so, so, Mike, walk me through this. How does, so let's say let's, you know, we can't change it. We can't, we can't go back on this one. But who, what we can do is learn from the situation and then also make corrections for the future. Should, by the way, I don't know, Stephen Breyer step down or something like that, or potentially Thomas, who has talked about retiring President Trump easily, could have another pick that comes up during his tenure. Who were the conduits that were really most pushing of Amy Coney Barrett? When, because when you look at, across, you look out across the conservative legal movement, I mean, someone has to actually nominate these people. How do you get to the short list? How does that process take place?
Mike Davis
Well, they made the mistake the last time of only wanting to pick a woman because Ruth Bader Ginsburg died and, you know, they had to have a woman. Well, there aren't a lot of, I mean, here's the bottom line. Here's the dirty secret. There aren't a lot of women who could be judicial nominees, because in order to be a judicial nominee, you typically are a litigator in a law firm for at least, at least a dozen years, or you're a prosecutor for at least a dozen years. Under the ABA standards, you have to be a lawyer for at least a dozen years. We don't follow that on the Republican side. But, you know, that's just gives you a, a ballpark. So if you're, if you're, if you're not. How many women go into litigation? Not, it's a small percentage. And then how many of those women actually stick around for 12 years? So it's a very small percentage. And then how many of those women who make it to law firm partners are conservative women? Which. It's just like you're, you're looking for the needle in the haystack. There are, there are a lot of good conservative women out there. There are a lot of good conservative minorities out there. They're actually my favorite people because conservative women and minorities tend to be the most bold and fearless because they have to take so much crap from the left, like Justice Clarence Thomas being called Uncle Tom his whole life because he escaped the Democrat plantation, or, you know, justice, or Judge Eileen Cannon getting criticized out of Florida because she escaped the Democrat kitchen. So I do like conservative women and minorities, but we can't pick them because they're a conservative or more or minority. We have to pick them based upon merit because they're the best pick. And I don't think Amy Cody Barrett was the best pick.
Jack Posobiec
And so when we're going forward. So when we, when we go forward. So let's, let's play out the hypothetical. Play out the hypothetical. There's an opening, right? We're not going to say who it is, but there's an opening. Although, of course, that does, that does occasionally color the choice. What should President Trump, the Department of justice, the White House, what are things they should be looking for when it comes to a judicial nominee? Because I remember a lot of people saying, oh, she's going to be another Alito or Scalia. Excuse me, another Scalia. Another Scalia. She clerked for Scalia. She's in the mold of Scalia Scalia, Scalia. I heard it over and over and over and over. And, you know, I've seen the ruling. Shane. No, Scalia.
Mike Davis
Yeah. I mean, I think she got rattled by the protest outside of her home during the Dobbs decision. And that's unfortunate, but that was the intended effects by President Biden and Attorney General Merrick Garland. And now I think she's rattled and she's trying to reel it in to protect her kids. And that's unfortunate that she has to do that. But if she can't follow the law, then maybe she should go back to Notre Dame Law School. Right. Because your job as a Supreme Court justice is to boldly and fearlessly follow the law. And if there's a reason you can't do that, if you're compromised in any way, you need to step down and let someone else do the job. I'll say this. President Trump talked about relying on people like Leonard Leo in the federal society in his first term. That's not going to happen in his first term. He's going to rely on people like Mike Davis, me and the Article 3 project. And we're going to pick even more bold and fearless judges this time. People who are not Ivy League webs, but people who are going to boldly and fearlessly follow the law. People in the mold of Judge Eileen Cannon down in Florida.
Jack Posobiec
So, so, whoa, whoa, whoa, Davis, are you saying that, are you making the call right now that you would put Eileen David, or, excuse me, they put Eileen Cannon up there on the shortlist for Supreme Court nomination?
Mike Davis
I, maybe I already have. Who knows, Jack? But I would say this. I think she's, she's one of the best, if not the best pick by President Trump to put on the Supreme Court because she's bold, she's fearless, she's going to follow the loss we saw during the lawfare against President Trump. Sometimes she ruled for him, sometimes she ruled against him. She did what a judge is supposed to do and follow the law, and she stood up to the Democrat mob who tried to threaten her in her home, and she didn't back down. Like, maybe Justice Amy Coney Barrett could take a lesson from Judge Eileen Cannon about being bold and fearless and not backing down and following the law.
Jack Posobiec
Well, and you look at this, right? What quote, unquote repercussions has she faced? This is, this is something that the conservative movement really needs to understand. We need to stop thinking about, oh, what's the left going to say? What's the mainstream media going to say? This is the Mike Davis school of thought. This is the Steve Bannon school of thought. This is the human events school of thought. We don't care what the mainstream media says about us. We care about getting the best person in there for the country, for the law, for justice to actually be done. That is what we care about. We don't care what the left says. We don't. We definitely don't care what the legacy media says. And so stop letting them make decisions for you. The people of the United States elected President Trump. They elected the House, they elected the Senate. Those are the people they want making the decisions when it comes to staffing, when it comes to appointments, when it comes to the rest. And that's what you saw with President Trump's confirmations when he put through. He said, yeah, we are going to do Pete Hegseth and we are going to do Cash Patel and Bobby Kennedy and Tulsi Gabbard and you know what? The American people delivered a mandate and this is what we are going to give to them. Davis, what is it about these D.C. republicans where they're so worried about getting written up in the Washington Post?
Mike Davis
They are the DC Republicans, the Unit Party Republicans are cowards and they think it's their job to manage the decay. They are basically, they think they're the janitors for the Marxist left to clean up the mess. And I have a different approach. I mean, you're talking about the Jack and Mike approach. I look, look at that. I don't care. Growing up looking like this, with red hair and a face for radio, I'm used to getting punched in the face, and it doesn't bother me. I actually kind of, I kind of like it when I'm getting punched in the face because I'm not used to it if I'm not right. So I'm going to be bold and fearless. I'm going to fight every day for President Trump because I think he's going to fight every day for real Americans and real America. And he's, he's actually doing what he promised American voters he would do, which is cut waste, fraud and abuse in Washington, D.C. i know that's shocking to the D.C. unit party that a politician is actually going to deliver on his campaign promises. But I would say this to these judges, these activist judges who are getting in President Trump's way of exercising his core Article 2 power under the Constitution, not Article 1 legislative power. He's not stealing Article 3 judicial power. He's exercising core Article 2 executive power. These activist judges there is going to be a tremendous political backlash. If you keep doing this, you are going to lose your funding, you're going to lose your jurisdiction, and you may face impeachment. And the Article 3 project will make damn sure that happens. We're not Fed Sock, we're not cocks. We take off the gloves, we fight back.

Well, and this is. Look, President Trump is doing everything he can. He's up there doing everything he can every single day that he can. And so this is where the team needs to come in and push harder. And that's exactly what the Article 3 project is doing. You're giving the White House the air cover to be able to do this stuff. And this fight is just getting started. The midterms have just gotten started. We've already seen how it looks like Rogers and ACB are going to be trying to pump the brakes on all of these things. Doge, pump the brakes on usaid, pump the brakes on so many things that the President is doing. But that's not what the American people voted for. So you're talking economy, immigration, trans women, sports. Those are all going to come up next. And guess what? If the activist judges make a ruling on it, apparently that's going to cover the entire country. It's ridiculous. It's not what our founders wanted, and it's certainly not what the framers of the Constitution wanted. Mike Davis, where can people go to support the Article 3 project?
Mike Davis
Article3project.org you can donate there. You can follow us on social media. The most important thing that human events audience can do is take action. And thank you, Jack.
Jack Posobiec
Folks, if that's what it comes down to. All right, no more activist judges. It's making these rulings from one district, having it affect the entire nation. I don't know, maybe it's time to take a little page out of Andrew Jackson's book on that. Stay tuned because I don't know, we just might be right back.

Jack is a great guy. He's written a fantastic book. Everybody's talking about it. Go get it. And he's been my friend right from the beginning of this whole beautiful event. And we're going to turn it around and make our country great again.
Byron Donalds
Amen.
Jack Posobiec
Are you ready for a cabinet meeting? Huh?
Mike Davis
The issue on the table, Secretary Hamilton's plan to assume state debt and establish a national bank.
Jack Posobiec
Secretary General, you have the floor, sir.
Unknown
Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We fought for these ideals. We shouldn't settle for less. These are wise words, enterprising men. Quote em, don't act, Surprise you Guys. Cause I wrote em.
Oh.
But Hamilton forgets his plan would have the government assume state debts. Now place your bets as to who that benefits. The very seat of government where Hamilton sits.
Mike Davis
Not true.
Unknown
Oh, if the shoe fits, wear it. If New York's in debt, why shouldn't Virginia Buried Our debts are paid I'm afraid. Don't tax the south Cause we got it made in the shade in Virginia we plant seeds in the ground we create. You just want to move our money around.
Jack Posobiec
When I'm working long hours, I'm always listening to Human Events with Jack Bosobic. All right, Jack, we're back. Human Events daily hear real America's voice as well as welcoming the third hour of the Charlie Kirk radio audience on the Salem Radio Network. Hamilton the musical. Oh, the great musical of Hamilton. Which up until today I'd never actually heard anything from any clips whatsoever. We played a clip during the break and I thought it was a parody. Honestly, this is drivel. This is ridiculous. This is like fourth grade level, like, like rap battle kind of stuff. This is something that we're supposed to believe is high art where it's, you know, just a clear deconstruction and devolution of the, of the founding fathers obvious. Just historical revisionism on full display. Oh, we're going to cast a black Puerto Rican as George Washington. It's high art. It's wonderful. You're going to love this. And this is where the next Netflix ification of everything started. It all started with the recasting and the race swapping and the gender swapping and all the rest of it all started with Hamilton. Well, Hamilton has just announced that they are going to be canceling their performance at the Kennedy Center. Oh no. Oh no. All the Liberals in Washington D.C. are going to be crying into their avocado toast over this, Brian, into their soy lattes because they're not going to Hamilton. Hamilton is not going to come and play in D.C. at the Kennedy Center. Well, so here's what I'd like to say in response. I tweeted this out yesterday, but you know something? To all the commies that run that program, here's a flip shot. Here's a flip side of it, by the way, why don't we boycott all of Hamilton? Here you go. You like that? So do any patriot that's out there right now. To anyone, red blood having American, any patriot within the sound of my voice, we are not going to Hamilton. Boycott this thing completely. Not just because they're giving the middle finger and thumbing their Nose to President Trump, but because honestly, the show just isn't really that good. You want to know who went to Hamilton? Let me, let me, let me wind back the clock a little bit. Do you remember who went to see Hamilton in the very first week he was in Office back in 2017? Mike Pence. Mike Pence. Republicans love Hamilton. Mike Pence. Conservatives love Hamilton. They can't get enough of Hamilton. Oh, Hamilton is so wonderful. And you know what, by the way, one of their next stops is in Houston. And I saw the Houston, Texas Young Republicans have already begun getting the ball rolling on this boycott. This is fantastic. They posted up on their Instagram that they want to boycott this thing, telling Patriots, if you have tickets, put them up on StubHub, sell them, get rid of this thing. Just boycott across the board. Hamilton, this thing's a joke. The show has always been bad. If a conservative or any talking head said that it was good ever. You need to start questioning everything else they've ever told you because they don't understand anything about how this works. If you're going to make deconstructivist art of, of anything and target the founding fathers, then guess what? It is inherently not something that cons should be promoting. Also, the music is garbage. I hesitate to even use the word music because honestly, it's offensive to actual music to compare Hamilton to that. This. I have seen YouTube rap battles that are better than what I just heard in Hamilton. I have heard like my 6 year old and my 4 year old going back and forth and making up little songs in their backseat of the car when we're on a long drive that sound better than anything that Lin Manuel Manuel Miranda has put together. It's a joke. It's ridiculous. It is horrible. It is drivel. Patriots should not be attending this. Guys, think of all the better things that you could be doing with your life. Think of all the. Can we get something like Rodgers and Hammerstein out there? You know, can we go have. I know they canceled Phantom of the Opera, but they're talking bringing that back. You know, how about we go to some good shows? How about we actually promote something that is good, that is positive? You know what I want. You know what I want? And I have to have to put in a call with, you know, special Envoy Grinnell or something. I want Trump the Musical. I want Trump the Musical. I want it to play at the Kennedy center. And I'm going to sit there with Tanya Tay in the front row. We're going to bring the kids, and I want Trump the musical playing 365 days a year. Yes. Even on Christmas. It's 365 days a year right there at the Kennedy Center. And I heard, by the way, that they're also working on a very special Christmas show at the Kennedy center as well. I love it. Putting the real truth of the greatest story ever told and the greatest man to ever walk the face of the earth, Christ Jesus, on full display in our nation's capital. That's the kind of capital that I want to be a part of. That's the kind of country that we should have. Get Hamilton off the stage. You're done. The show is over. Exit stage left. Ladies and gentlemen, as always, you have my permission to lay short.
Human Events Daily with Jack Posobiec
Episode: The Fight For Sanctuary Cities, The Case Against Amy Barrett and The Hamilton Boycott
Release Date: March 6, 2025
In this episode of Human Events Daily, host Jack Posobiec delves into pressing national issues, including the financial burdens of sanctuary cities, the controversial nomination of Justice Amy Coney Barrett, and the cultural backlash against the popular musical Hamilton. Through candid discussions with guest Congressman Byron Donalds and legal analyst Mike Davis, the episode offers a critical perspective on current political and social developments.
Guest: Congressman Byron Donalds
Timestamp Highlight: [05:48]
Congressman Byron Donalds spearheads the discussion on the financial implications of sanctuary cities across major U.S. metropolises. Highlighting a recent congressional hearing, Donalds critiques mayors for failing to disclose the costs associated with illegal immigration. He states:
"The only one that actually even gave me a number was Mayor Adams of New York. At least he came prepared understanding what the hearing was about."
— Byron Donalds [06:14]
Donalds emphasizes the lack of transparency from mayors in cities like Boston and Chicago, questioning their commitment to managing budgets effectively. He criticizes Mayor Johnson of Chicago for vague responses, noting:
"If you're the mayor and you don't even know how much money you've spent on this, that's a problem."
— Byron Donalds [08:11]
The Congressman underscores the broader issue of illegal immigration being a politically fueled crisis, primarily attributing its escalation to policies under the Biden-Harris administration. He advocates for leadership that prioritizes rule of law and fiscal responsibility, praising Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida for his firm stance against sanctuary status.
Guest: Mike Davis, Article 3 Project
Timestamp Highlight: [22:32]
Shifting focus to the judiciary, Jack Posobiec critiques the nomination of Justice Amy Coney Barrett, arguing that her selection was driven more by political convenience than merit. Posobiec references a viral op-ed he authored, stating:
"Amy Coney Barrett is a warning against the dangers of Republican DEI when we say, hey, here's someone who says she's a conservative and she's with us on this one issue."
— Jack Posobiec [21:11]
Mike Davis concurs, highlighting Barrett's circuit court experience as limited and questioning her qualifications:
"She was picked because she's a woman to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg. You know, she's a qualified pick, but she certainly was not the best pick."
— Mike Davis [22:32]
Davis critiques the nomination process, suggesting a need for more discerning selections based on judicial merit rather than demographic representation. He praises Judge Eileen Cannon as a potential Supreme Court nominee for her bold and fearless approach, contrasting her with Barrett's perceived hesitance under public scrutiny.
Posobiec and Davis both express concerns over activist judges influencing national policies beyond their jurisdiction, advocating for measures to ensure judicial decisions align strictly with constitutional mandates.
Timestamp Highlight: [34:11]
In an unexpected turn, Posobiec addresses the cultural phenomenon surrounding the musical Hamilton, advocating for its boycott. He criticizes the show's reinterpretation of historical narratives and its perceived ideological bias:
"Hamilton is not going to come and play in D.C. at the Kennedy Center. ... To anyone, red blood having American, any patriot within the sound of my voice, we are not going to Hamilton."
— Jack Posobiec [35:17]
Posobiec deconstructs the musical's approach to historical figures and modern sensibilities, labeling it as "historical revisionism." He further mocks the musical's artistic merit, contrasting it with traditional productions like Rodgers and Hammerstein, and proposes an alternative—Trump the Musical—to better reflect conservative values.
The host also highlights grassroots movements, such as young Republicans in Houston advocating for the boycott, demonstrating the episode’s alignment with broader conservative cultural pushbacks.
Throughout the episode, Jack Posobiec underscores a recurring theme: the necessity for transparent governance, adherence to constitutional principles, and a rejection of what he perceives as progressive overreach in both politics and culture. By featuring Congressman Byron Donalds and Mike Davis, the podcast reinforces its stance on safeguarding American values against policies and cultural shifts deemed detrimental.
Key Takeaways:
Byron Donalds:
"If you're the mayor and you don't even know how much money you've spent on this, that's a problem."
[08:11]
Mike Davis:
"President Trump talked about relying on people like Leonard Leo in the federal society in his first term. That's not going to happen in his first term."
[26:55]
Jack Posobiec:
"We need to stop letting them [the left and mainstream media] make decisions for you."
[30:51]
Human Events Daily with Jack Posobiec presents a fervent defense of conservative principles, challenging both governmental policies and cultural narratives. By addressing fiscal accountability, judicial appointments, and cultural expression, the episode serves as a rallying call for listeners to engage in political discourse and uphold the values they deem foundational to American society.
