Press Secretary / White House Spokesperson (2:01)

This operation was called Operation Criminal Return. I call it Operation Dirtbag because these individuals were sex offenders, but not just sex offenders. They targeted children. These individuals should have never been in our country to begin with. The fact that they were sexual deviants and perverts, and now we've gotten them off of our streets. It's remarkable and we need to do more of it.

Jack Posobiec (2:21)

President Trump did nothing wrong, the president himself muses. The Democrats are trying to bring up the Jeffrey Epstein hoax again because they'll do anything at all to deflect on how badly they've done on the shutdown and so many other subjects. Only a very bad or stupid Republican would fall into that trap.

Press Secretary / White House Spokesperson (2:39)

When Joe Biden was sitting in there, the Democrats never brought this up. This wasn't an issue that they cared about because they actually don't care about the victims in these cases. They care about trying to score political points against President Trump.

Jack Posobiec (2:52)

Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily. We are here in real America's voice. Today is November 13, 2025. Anno Domini, ladies and gentlemen. It's now being reported that President Trump, Trump administration and specifically through the State Department is designating Antifa a foreign terrorist organization. Julio Rosas has the story up at his substack. Mostly peaceful media. We also see the reporting coming out from the Post Millennial now. But Julio broke this story says the U.S. state Department is now the latest agency to take action against violent antifa chapters. They're designated for antifa groups in Europe as foreign terrorist organizations. Now, if you remember when I visited the White House for the Antifa roundtable and left wing violence several weeks ago, I specifically asked the president to do this. He asked if we should. I said, yes, Mr. President, we should. Because ANTIFA was formed in Germany in the Weimar Republic originally and it's always been the home base of Antifa. And so now we see direct action taken from the Trump administration on this. Here are the four groups. Antifa OST based in Germany, the International Revolutionary Front, also known as the informal Anarchist federation based in Italy. That's also where the song Bella Ciao, the Antifa international anthem derives from, is from Italy. It's in Italian. Armed Proletarian justice based in Greece. Revolutionary Class Self Defense based in Greece. I'd also love to see. Those are the first four. I'd love to see some of the groups in Spain. I'd love to see some of the groups in the UK in France as well, designated as foreign terrorist organizations. But this is a fantastic and historic start. Fantastic and historic start. Each of these groups, listen to this. Are responsible for carrying out multiple attacks in Europe. According to the State Department, Antifa Ost was labeled a terrorist organization by Hungary in September 2025 after the group's militias assaulted nine people with hammers, batons and pepper spray in Budapest, Hungary. 2023 reported on that at the time. We also know that militants affiliated with the International Revolutionary Front shot and wounded a nuclear engineering executive in 2012. And so folks, what does this mean? A foreign terrorist organization designation gives the State Department incredible powers to go after. Go after These organizations, and this is the key part, and their affiliates. So what does that mean? Under section 219 of the Immigration Nationality Act, a foreign terrorist designation organization criminalizes material support. Anyone under US Jurisdiction who knowingly provides material support to this terrorist group is punishable for up to 20 years to prison or life freeze. You can have your assets frozen. You can restrict immigration and travel, the no Fly List and others. You can have sanctions. You can lose your bank account. You can go after everything involved with these people who are going on. So this is where the US Secretary of State, the Attorney General and the Treasury Secretary, Scott Bezin can now use all of their powers to go after the money, to go after the links, to go after anyone who's threatening the security of US Nationals or national security in conjunction with these groups. So let's see. Let's see if Antifa locally has ties to these groups overseas. You know what I'd love to see? I want to really see that Spanish antifa group designated because it's really interesting to me that Dr. Antifa fled directly to Spain. Remember when he left Rutgers, he fled directly to Spain and immediately started working with Spanish Antifa. Almost like, almost like he was providing material support to a terrorist organization. Parish the thought, direct action from the White House on Antifa. That's what we've wanted.

Donald J. Trump (7:16)

Nothing will stand in our way. And our golden age has just begun.

Jack Posobiec (7:20)

This is Human Events with Jack Posovic. Now it's time for everyone to understand what America first truly means. Welcome to the second American Revolution. I'm getting, getting word now from, from my guys that, that President Trump and First Lady Melania are going to be signing an executive office or executive order in the Oval Office in just a few minutes. We've got it there in the box. President Trump about to walk out, the first lady coming out. They are on their way to the Oval Office right now, is what we are being told. And I'd love if this were an executive order on that fifth terrorist designation for Spanish and tifa. But actually this has to do with foster care, believe it or not. And it's something, of course, that the first lady has been working on directly doing a lot since, since she's returned to the White House to focus on children, doing a lot, to focus on families, foster care, of course, something that's become a rising issue in the United States is some. As something, by the way, where we look to a lot of. And a lot of questions, by the way, I would just say that, you know, we've been having in the United States about, you know, families and about what a family is and what a family means. And we keep hearing the admin and you keep hearing in the conservative movement people talking about the birth rate and people talking about IVF and people talking about surrogacy and all of these issues and new technologies that are out there. But the problem, I think that arises many of the times is that so many people are focused on the creation, which is, of course, important. But there's so many children that through no fault of their own, and that's key, no fault of their own, get stuck into the foster system. And when they get stuck into the foster system, unfortunately, you get some of these really horrific cases like, oh, I don't know, the Biden administration's cases, when we saw the children of illegal immigrants who, these illegal aliens who were separated then were put into the system and in many cases were lost or in other cases were stuck with pedophiles or were stuck with something even worse. So this is a situation that absolutely needs to change. And we know the Department of Homeland, or, excuse me, the Department of Health and Human Services, when Bobby Kennedy got in, was able to find a lot of those children. And so many of those people were. So many of those children were in dire circumstances and were in dire straits. But this was something that the administration directly focused on because, look, it wasn't that long ago that Sound of Freedom came out. And remember that when Sound of Freedom came out, they did everything they could to stop people from watching this film. When they did everything they could to stop people from seeing it, they said it was terrible. They tried to review bomb it, they tried to ban it from theaters. And what happened? 250 million at the box office. One of the biggest independent features ever made. Angel studios, huge win for them. And we went to Bedminster to watch it with Donald Trump himself when he was still on his way back to office. So all of these things come into play. If you want to stop child trafficking, you need to have a shored up, secure and guaranteed foster system. You need that. And so when we look at the First Lady's efforts, we look at the President's efforts today. Keep that in the back of your mind. Keep those films in the back of your mind and keep them back in the mind that we know, we know what the situation was prior to President Trump getting back into office. And I see a lot of people out there saying, oh, what's he even done? What's he even done? Go ask these kids, go ask the kids out there. What President Trump has done. Go ask the kids if President Trump stopped the child trafficking that was going on with hhs. Go ask the kids if Donald Trump had done the right thing by them. I think you'll know. Yeah, we're told, we're told any minute. We did have, we had Richard Barris, the people's pundit, returning to human events. It's been a minute since we had him on. Rich, I want to throw you on here. I know we were, we were going to go on. President Trump kind of, kind of sprung this EO on us. It's, it's on the foster system. And you know, look, this, this issue of child trafficking, we don't even talk about it as much anymore, but it was horrific when he came back in office. Wasn't, was before he came back.

Richard Barris (11:52)

And, and it's actually one of the great shames of Donald Trump second terms is that basically Trump comes in when these, these issues are in full blown crisis, right? And then what happens is that he addresses them, he solves them, he gets high marks on them, but then it falls as a priority, as a voting priority in the minds of voters. So I think this is good. This is good. It falls in line with the general message that Republicans need to be sending, especially the president, coming from the president, that they're the party of working families, Jack, and that, that includes many different kinds of families in the United States. And to keep that issue still prescient and still at the minds of voters because again, it's easy for American voters to forget when things are addressed. And that's, that's tragedy, especially when you're dealing with children.

Jack Posobiec (12:49)

No, that's exactly right. And, and I, I really appreciate the fact that the first lady has come in and trying to shore up this situation. We've also, and we know, and not that it, not that it directly affects this, but you know, there's, we also have this issue of the, in, in the Ukraine war. It's something that, that I think about where you do have a lot of kids and I know the UN and they're trying to arrest Putin over it, saying, you know, and look, you know, you talk to the UN and they say, well, they stole the children. But then you go to the Russian side and they say, well, we were trying to get the kids out of the war zone. Look, war is bad for kids, all right? And whether those kids can get back with their families, obviously they should be, if they can, if at all possible. We know that war creates refugees and I would just hope that Whatever the administration is doing on this front, it's putting the needs of those kids first.

Richard Barris (13:41)

And these are wildly popular priorities too. I remember in Florida years ago, I'm not there now, but everyone knows I was in Florida for decades back during the Rick Scott administration, there was a priority that the Gates, that Matt Gates and you know, his part, his family was a big part of this where they were basically fast, fast tracking the ability to foster children and adopt children. So if you had already been vetted by the state, for instance, and I know this because my wife at the time worked the school system, if you were vetted, then you were, you were put, you know, at the front of the lawn.

Jack Posobiec (14:18)

Rich, we've got, we've got the President coming out right now. We're going to go to him.

Melania Trump (14:30)

Good afternoon. Please welcome to the White House. It is truly inspiring to see everyone gather here together united in support of this remarkable initiative and community. As I stand here and observe the audience, I recognize the vital importance of each one of you to this mission to our future generations. In particular, I would like to thank the cabinet secretaries, Congress members, scholarship donors and various organizations for their unending advocacy. A special thank you to my husband for his enduring commitment to fostering the future. The President has prioritized America's foster care children and shortly he will sign our Fostering the Future executive order. Too many people from foster care community end up homeless in danger on America's streets. It was 2021 when I developed idea to establish an impactful platform with an important mission to provide individuals from the foster care community the ability to secure an entry level job position and in turn, financial independence. Fostering the Future A Be BEST initiative provides individuals from the foster care community with technology based scholarships to attend colleges and universities throughout America. Fostering the Future sets these individuals on their career paths. But more significantly, it equips each scholarship recipient with the fundamental foundation of knowledge that will endure throughout their lifetimes. Permanency for those who embody the fleeting. I applaud the American universities that have joined my mission. Institutions like Wonder Peel University, University of Miami and Villanova University. Following graduation, scholarship recipients from my program are prepared to enter the workforce and ultimately become leading executives. Predictably, they will manage thousands of employees and generate significant value for American communities through job creation, access to health care, food security and other societal benefits. This executive order Fostering the future for American children and families gives me tremendous pride. It is both empathetic and strategic. It will certainly be impactful. It aims to establish a comprehensive network connecting departments and agencies, private sectors, businesses, higher learning institutions and charitable organizations. This will create new educational and employment opportunities countrywide. Our faith based organizations will continue playing a vital and consequential role. My hope, of course, is that this level of.

Jack Posobiec (18:22)

Yeah, no. So it looks like this.

Melania Trump (18:25)

But today I call on leadership from these various organizations, including the private sector, to join my effort. Rise above the ease of inaction. I predict this small spark today will ignite a profound and lasting nationwide movement. Our United Resolve will foster a thriving future filled with compassion and innovation. Together, we will illuminate the pathway for today's foster children to become tomorrow's builders. And tomorrow's builders will foster the future of America's legacy. Thank you. It is my pleasure to introduce my husband, the President of United States, Donald J. Trump.

Donald J. Trump (19:52)

I think it's very good, especially for someone that speaks five languages, at least I think that's pretty amazing. I can't. I couldn't do it. I couldn't do it. Well, thank you, Melania. And our country is truly blessed to have this magnificent and very caring First Lady. They love her. Every time I get up and make a speech, they say, we want our first Lady. I said, what the hell? I'm not good enough. I'm not. But thank you very much. Great job. And, and it's great the work you do in so many ways. This afternoon I'm delighted to sign a historic executive order building on the Fostering the Future initiative to make America's foster care system better, fairer and more effective than ever before. And it's been effective, but it's moving in a very strong direction. All of this has been made possible by Melania's incredible devotion to America's youth. Spends a lot of time on it and loves it. And along with our great Usha, you spend so much time. And what a combination. First lady, second lady, what a combination. Thank you. They do a great job. The two of them are amazing women. I want to thank Vice President J.D. vance and Usha. Thank you very much. Vice President, Stand up.

Richard Barris (21:12)

Vice President.

Donald J. Trump (21:14)

And he did a. He did a big thing today. He's going to be on television tonight with the legendary Sean Hannity. So everybody has to watch. I'm sure CNN loves this advertisement but he will be. I heard it was a great interview. And Secretary Scott Besant. Scott, thank you very much. An extremely non controversial secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. But he's right. But he's right. And Scott Turner, thank you very much. Doing a great job at hucc. And thanks as well to Senator John Husted and representatives Jason Smith, Darren LaHood, Zach Nunn and David Schweiker. Thank you all for being here. Thank you, fellas. Great group. We're also joined by countless distinguished leaders in the child welfare, welfare advocacy ministry and charitable foundations, as well as so many wonderful young people who have experienced foster care and use their voices to champion needed reforms. And I want to thank everybody for being here. It's an amazing day at the White House. Thank you very much. And right behind me, by the way, in about two years from now, we'll use a much bigger room because we had to turn away a lot of people. And it'll be right here. This will be the entrance. That's a knockout paddle. It's called the knockout. It looks pretty nice right now, but it's going to look a lot better in a little while. And we're going to go from this room into a room that seats a few more people and it's going to be beautiful. But I just noticed I happen to be standing here, Peter, and I thought I'd might as well get you a shot right now, a nice, beautiful shot at the future entrance to something that's really become very popular, the ballroom. They've wanted it for 150 years and they're getting it and they're getting the best. It will be the best anywhere in the world. Each year more than 15,000 young people age out of the foster care system and unfortunately, too many struggle to become self sufficient. The order I will sign in a few moments will provide vital new resources to help young people transition out of the foster care system and live a very happy and a very successful life. Very, very successful. So with this order, I'm directing the heads of the key federal departments and agencies to establish a Fostering the Future program in coordination with our wonderful first Lady's office. They're coordinating and they've already been coordinating for quite some time and I think it's, I hear it's going really well. You're going to have some. When she gets involved in things, it works. I can tell you that under this major new initiative, great American companies and institutions will be signing a pledge to invest in teaching, training and, and mentoring America's youth who are transitioning out of the foster care system. This will help provide jobs, education and personal development opportunities to fantastic young people who truly need and deserve them. And they're going to get them. A terrific example of the impact these programs can have is Eric Alvarez from Omaha, Nebraska, who is with us today. Where is Eric? Where is It. Stand up. Good looking guy. Good looking guy. Eric and his siblings were placed in foster care for a year when he was nine. He entered the child welfare system again when he was 15. And today he credits a mentoring and mentorship and work experience program for foster youth with helping him to finish high school and start his adult life. And he did really well in high school, by the way. Really a great student. But he starts life on the right foot, right? Wouldn't you say? I mean, I think you better say yes, otherwise I'm in big trouble. Otherwise I'm all by myself up here. Eric, that would be. I hear you. Doing incredibly. Now, after graduating from the University of Nebraska and interning for Congressman Don Bacon, Eric is pursuing a master's degree at the George Washington University and he is a cadet in the Air Force ROTC who will be commissioned as an officer upon graduation. And Eric, I just want to say great job. You've really been outstanding, and I think that's probably why you were chosen out of so many people. You've done a fantastic job. Congratulations. The new initiative we're establishing will also create an opportunity for foster youth to take full responsibility of the federal Tax Credit Scholarship program established by the One Big Beautiful Bill. So many things. Tax cuts and regulation cuts. So many things. The biggest. The biggest ever passed in the history of our country. I call it the Great Big Beautiful Bill. I changed the name a little bit to make it even more sublime, but it is. There's so many things in there for everybody. The biggest. We had a choice. We could have done it in nine different bills or try for the one. And everybody said, no, let's do it in nine. It'll be easier, actually. It wouldn't have gotten done. And JD And I and Scott and all of us got together and we said, let's give it a shot. And we got it passed. And it was an amazing thing, but it's going to help a lot of people. There's never been anything like it in one bill. There's never been anything close. And when you see what's going on with the Democrats, we're lucky we got it passed because we don't have to do anything. All we have to do is implement it now and we'll be implementing it all over the place. If you think about it, no tax on tips. Right? No tax on Social Security, all of the different things. No tax on overtime. You get deductions. If you buy a car, you take an interest rate deduction, an interest deduction against your income tax. It's Never happened. Nothing like this has really ever been approved to this extent. And so it is one great big beautiful bill. But using the tax credit, we'll expand occupational training, education and financial literacy programs for the foster youth and make it possible for more of them to attend the school of their choice. Choice is a great word for a lot of reasons, but it's a great thing with education. And we'll also create the new Fostering the Future online platform to help young people find the access and really get great housing. Very, very important and beautiful housing, healthcare and other resources available to foster youth and those transitioning out of foster care. We think that's going to happen with many, many people, many more than you have right now under the Trump administration. We believe that every American child deserves a safe and loving home. And we're determined to support the amazing families who help make that happen. And we have some of those families in the room today. And I just want to thank you all for being in the White House. There is no place like this. And we want to thank you very much for being here. Great families. Thank you very much. Faith based. Thank you. Faith based nonprofits are the nation's most trusted institutions, interacting with the foster care system and practicing Christians and more. Think of this more than twice as likely. Foster care, they'll adopt the general population. They adopt to it so easily. When they get out, they adopt to it just like is it becomes second nature. It's amazing. Yet radical left policies in states nationwide make it much harder, not easier, for those families to open up their homes. But we're working on that. We're dealing with the radical left. It's not easy, but we're winning and we're winning big. That's why with the order that we're doing today, we're taking the ridiculous woke policies that discriminate against Christians and families of faith. As president, I will always stand by us. We will stand by our country. And we will stand for religious liberty. So important. We stand for religious liberty. The Bible tells us. Thank you. Thank you. The Bible tells us that one of the measures of any society is how it cares for vulnerable children and orphans. So important. And it's so big in the Bible. So as we make America great again, we are going to protect American children in foster care and we're going to ensure that they will never, ever be forgotten. These children will never be forgotten. And they're going to grow up to be unbelievable, strong, smart, wealthy, productive citizens. So once more, I want to thank Melania for the great job she does not here. Only just as first lady. She's a great first lady. And I want to thank you very much, honey, and the foster families and leaders here today. You're very special people. And we're going to work together and we're going to have some absolutely incredible results. Thank you all for being here. Thank you very much. Thank you. Are you ready, everybody? This is it. Too late to change it. Should we sign it, Susie? Do we sign this? No auto debt.
