We are very worried about the humanitarian problem in Gaza. We see a lot of starving children. We want to make sure they get food. So we got to get food to the neediest people. We've also got to make sure that Hamas gets the hell out of Gaza and lets the food come into that terrible, terrible situation.
- [02:06]
President Trump
I'm looking for getting people fed. Right now that's the number one position because you have a lot of starving people. You have people that, you know, the United States recently, just a couple of weeks ago, we gave $60 million. So we'll be helping with the food. You know, we have a lot of access to food. We got a lot of food ourselves and we're going to bring it over there. We're also going to make sure that they don't have barriers stopping people. You know, you've seen the areas where they actually have food and the people are screaming for the food and they're, they're 35, 40 yards away. And they won't let them because they have lines that are set up. And whether they're set up by Hamas or whoever, but they're very strict lines and we have to get rid of those lines. We can save a lot of people. I mean, some of those kids are, that's real starvation stuff. I see it. And you can't fake that. So we're going to be even more involved.

Jack Posobiec
All right, ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily, here live on Real America's voice. Today is July 29, 2025, Anno Domini. President Trump wheels up from his whirlwind trip to Scotland in the United Kingdom. He just took a press spray on Air Force One. We're going to be monitoring that. We're going get audio. If anything significant comes out, we're going to bring that to you directly. A lot of news came out of the trip, of course, sitting down with Keir Starmer really kind of, you know, you could see a jovial relationship between the two of them. But at the same time, he's making a lot of points. He did bring up the question of freedom of speech, which the UK Absolutely does not have currently, certainly does not have at all. And of course, when President Trump landed, I think the most significant thing that President Trump said during his entire trip to the UK is that the invasion of Europe must be stopped. It is so simple, it is so obvious, the fact the mainstream media isn't even pressing on it. You don't even see people in conservative media talking about this. He called what's happening in Europe an invasion that must be stopped. And this is absolutely correct. He's also mentioned remigration. Remigration is a process that absolutely needs to begin as well. Again, Europeans must be able to have their own control of their actual countries. Americans must be able to have control of our country. It's really as simple as that. And then you have a president like Trump who comes out and just says it and of course, nobody pays any attention to it. Also the trade deal with the eu, fantastic work there. And everybody, I think, is completely silent. The critics, the panic ins about the tariffs. I remember a few arguments that I got into about that one with people. They are completely silent now because, oh, look, the stock market has not crashed and I'm sorry if your Nvidia stock was hit, but actually everyone else is just doing much, much fine, doing perfectly fine. But then there was the subject yesterday that came up of Israel and the conflict in Gaza, the Gaza Strip, as President Trump reminds us, and President Trump breaking with Bibi Netanyahu, JD Vance coming out as well. So Netanyahu said and has been saying over and over and over that there's no starvation in Gaza. And yet every single day on social media and mainstream media, there are a slew of images that come out and new images every single day about what's happening in particularly it seems to be in these camps, in these refugee camps that were set up early on. Human Events daily covered this in great detail when the war began, talking about how displacement camps were set up so that military operations by the IDF could take place within the strip itself. Going after Hamas. It is these refugee conditions and these displacement camps that have come under fire and where the starvation conditions now, as President Trump has said, these are exhibited. And the question of aid and food. Here's what it all comes down to, folks. You don't have to be pro Israel or pro Hamas to be pro humanity. Okay? You don't have to come in and say all of this and all of that, but what you do want to be able to say is it's war. The war is what's driving all of this. That's what's clear here. And the best way to end all of this is to get an endpoint for that war, a ceasefire and then some way of brokering a peace deal so that the civilians can get the help. This is the same problem that America ran into in the global war on terror. They completely ignored the issues with the populace while focusing on, oh, we have to have mission accomplished in George W. Bush style policies. And you look what's happening now. America's support for foreign wars has created cratered America's support and American support for Israel has now cratered. And in fact, there's a slight, there's only a slight majority support for Trump's handling of the Israel Hamas conflict right now. And with Gen Z, it is absolutely crashing. That's the key here. And President Trump and J.D. vance are calling it out. Get to the end, do the right thing for the people, get rid of the terrorists and let people live in peace. Be right back.

And here to help us break it all down is the great Mike Benz from the foundation for Freedom Online. Ben, how are you?
- [09:29]
Mike Benz
Are you doing great? How are you doing?
- [09:31]
Jack Posobiec
I love that we both got the green shirt memo today. So the latest, and this is just as we go to air the. There it is. There it is. It's the Zelinsky brothers here on Human Events Daily. That. That. So Ghislaine Maxwell has agreed to testify before Congress. Do we know what the ins and outs of that look like? How is that going to play in with Todd Blanche? I've got a meeting that I'm taking that I'm going to be taking part in tomorrow to get some more information regarding the DOJ side of it. What are you hearing?
- [10:04]
Mike Benz
The latest is, well, we know that Ghislaine was given limited immunity to give up about 100 names to the DOJ. And this is being touted as a kind of client list substitute, at least in. In. In messaging. This appears to be a kind of backdoor way to try to get at the spider web of contacts that Epstein had. You know, it's. It's one of these stink Bombs the Ghislaine Maxwell testimony ever since. I think the Daily Mail broke about two weeks ago that Ghislaine wanted to testify to Congress, but that Republicans were blocking it. I think that the, the, the force of MAGA fury about this issue has made it politically difficult to say no to Mike Johnson. The speaker came out and quickly said that Republicans were not blocking it, and now there appears to be forward motion on it. Moving forward, we see Democrats who were trying to kind of take this issue and use it as a kind of wedge of the Trump White House against the base. We saw Jamie Raskin and the like trying to, trying to pick this up as a football. And now it looks like the, the Maxwell testimony in front of Congress will likely defuse any of that energy. Although there are lingering questions about why it is happening now, of course, whether or not Ghislaine may be getting a pardon and whether or not there may be some gerrymandering of the story that Ghislaine tells in order to try to make her own case for a pardon stronger. That is, will she shield certain aspects of Trump world from the story she tells, or will it really be the whole truth and nothing but the truth? We'll see.
- [11:57]
Jack Posobiec
And of course, we're now seeing. So she is. She's made her offer. And that's on. People understand what the latest is on. This is just as of about 52 minutes ago that. So Ghislaine Maxwell, through her lawyers, has put forward her potential offer. And of course, this is a Maxwell maximalism, if you will, list of demands. So she wants a grant of formal immunity for anything she testifies to under Congress. Says the interview cannot happen at the correctional facility where she's serving her sentence. Oh, she wants to come to Capitol Hill. Of course she wants to. They're asking to prepare adequately for any congressional deposition and to ensure accuracy, we would require the committee's questions in advance and is saying that the interview could only be scheduled after the resolution of her Supreme Court petition, where, of course, she's filed for an appeal. So they're, they're making a splashy headline. But it, I'm not getting the impression that with demands like this, that this is something they're rushing into.
- [12:58]
Mike Benz
Yeah, me neither. I think that everyone is on every side of the political aisle is a little afraid of what she. She has to say if she's given a total unfettered podium to say it. There's, you know, again, the, the question of the unreliable narrator here, given that the sword of Damocles hangs over her head in terms of, you know, what is, what is effectively a kind of life in prison, whether or not she will be tell, would be telling an honest story or giving honest answers even under immunity. As I said, you know, there's, there's a clear goal I think by all parties involved in this. For Maxwell, it's to do, do a favor in, in exchange for a potential pardon or commuting of the sentence. For Republicans, it's to satiate the base and shield, I think, the Republican side of the Epstein story. And for Democrats it's to, it's to try to find the dirt on Trump world to use that for the 2026 midterms.
- [14:03]
Jack Posobiec
And of course that's the goal. But at the same time, for a situation that's been litigated and relitigated so many times, I just have to say that I still don't, and I've said this throughout the entire, you know, carnival that this has turned into and that I don't think that if, if there was anything on Trump, they would have put it out already. It would have been out, would have had it years ago. They wouldn't have had to make up all this Russia stuff. They wouldn't have had to, you know, go to such great lengths to try to quote, unquote, get him on something if they had an easy, you know, political kill shot or political headshot like you could over something with Epstein. And you even hear President Trump being, I think, a little bit more cavalier about talking about this now when he says, yes, there was an island, yes, Larry Summers from Harvard did go to the island. You should look into him. He's brought up other names. He says there's a list, I'd love to get that list, Mr. President, and all the information on that island. Reid, Hoffman, so many others. Because Ben's. The work that you've done, the work that we've done has really pushed this from a story that I think was very, this has been very grassroots driven all the way forward to now where you got the President, United States on overseas trips being asked about that and in fact responding to it at length.
- [15:22]
Mike Benz
Yeah, that's true. You know, I always think of this as being a kind of mutually assured destruction kind of button. There's the sort of the, you know, weapons of mass destruction element of the, the Epstein story, which is that if, if one side uses it against the other, the other. There's something about the Epstein story that can always be used in a double edged way. The fact is, I think Bill Clinton has become kind of the go to talking point for the Trump administration because he evidently went to the island, according to Trump, 28 times. We know that Epstein was in the White House visitor logs for the Clinton White House 17 times. We know that Jeffrey Epstein's lawyers testified that Jeffrey Epstein co founded the Clinton Global Initiative. We know that Jeffrey Epstein shepherded Bill Clinton around Africa in 2002, right when his presidency ended, right when Clinton was setting up the Clinton Foundation. He was being essentially air chauffeured by Jeffrey Epstein from country to country. You know, that being said, I do think there are considerable ties of Epstein to Trump world, not so much to Trump himself, although Trump is on the 1993 flight logs. But this was also a time when that was 13 years before Epstein was ever indicted the first time. And so I think that there's kind of a, a longer leash for things that, that far back in, in the distance, given that Trump is also on record having Kip kicked Epstein out of his own Mar A Lago club. But the fact is they did travel in somewhat similar circles, from the kind of Roy cone network story to the Adnan Khashoggi strange tie ins where Khashoggi was a Epstein client and then Trump ends up buying Khashoggi's yacht. There's, there's several relatively high level folks around the Trump administration who have their own kind of bizarre intersections with the Epstein story. But they're not as direct as something like the Clinton flying to the island or you know, co founding foundations together and the like. But you know, I mean, and the fact is, as you mentioned, that the case has been litigated and re litigated so many times. But that, but the nature of that litigation is also under secrecy and seal. The Justice Department just tried to unseal grand jury evidence and the court denied it, that that case was run by Maureen Comey, you know, daughter of James Comey, who set up the whole Russiagate affair. The same prosecutor who bizarrely handled or mishandled the Diddy prosecution, where you have another kind of Epstein kind of adjacent storyline. So the fact is though, to me, pressure really can't relent on this until we have answers about Epstein's intelligence ties. It's so infuriating to me. The fact is, is Pam Bondi could walk next door to the Office of Public Responsibility. They did it. 21 months of investigation, we're told, looking into Epstein's intelligence ties. All we got out of that investigation was a, a footnote buried on 100 page 169. Of a 348 page report, footnote 244, and it doesn't answer anything relevant. I want all the transcripts from that. I want all of the CIA Office of General Counsel. We don't even know if, if the CIA has run a name trace on Jeffrey Epstein to know even the CIA side of the story. And you know, we keep hearing, oh, we'll get back to you on that. We'll get back to it. It takes two weeks for the CIA to run a name trace. And, and this has been an issue now. You know, Pam Bondi's been, been in, in her chair for something like four months, four or five months. So there are easy answers. And the fact that they're not giving them to us. I'm glad to see.
- [19:18]
Jack Posobiec
You know what, though? We've seen the motion, we've seen the core shift number two, a main justice down there in that jailhouse. We write back, Jack, Talk about influencers.
- [19:27]
President Trump
These are influencers and they're friends of mine. Jacksonvik. Where's Jack? Jack. He's got a great job.
- [19:39]
Jack Posobiec
All right, Jackers will be back. Live Human Events daily. We're on with Mike Benz of the foundation for Freedom Online. And Mike has a great suggestion here and a great point that so many of the things that we talk about, whether it be Epstein, whether it be J6, whether it be the Boston bombing, whether it be the Oklahoma City case, we keep turning up all of these instances which seem like horrific tragedies and are horrific tragedies. All of them, all of them, including Jeffrey Epstein. What was done to those victims and those young girls is absolutely unconscionable. And yet it always seems that when you scratch the surface of these things, and I could, I could list a dozen more, you find some very strange intelligence ties. So, Mike Benz, you've really been pushing this one so hard. And by the way, not just in terms of what people speculate may be a blackmail operation, but also financial and funding. That's something that gets totally overlooked when people generally talk about Epstein.
- [20:46]
Mike Benz
Well, this is the most important part of intelligence work is how do you actually fund the network carrying out the COVID action? How do you actually arrange for that funding? How do you secretly broker it? How do you launder the money to conceal the illicit origin of the funds or the secret nature of the funds? And this was Epstein's primary vocation and specialty. Above all, it was taking huge, huge pools of donor money, brokering deals and everything from, from air transport and logistics to, to pharmaceutical and public health to universities and all these have these huge touch points. I mean, you know, just a line item of a few strange CIA parts of the Epstein story. You had the fact that he started his career right when Iran fell in 1979. He's at bear Stearns. He goes on to handle the Bronfman family portfolio. The, the family office effectively of the, the Bronfman family, which is, which is effectively a, you know, a very influential but quite deeply mafia linked family.
- [22:05]
Jack Posobiec
Well, that the Bronson's eventually funded seed rooms and interestingly enough with the Bronfmans, they get involved in another sex cult scandal years later. Yeah, the Nexium scandal.
- [22:18]
Mike Benz
Yeah, yeah, that's right.
- [22:21]
Jack Posobiec
But, and I've, I've talked to victims of that and, and had direct conversations with victims of that. And that's just a totally crazy situation that it ties directly back to Epstein.
- [22:33]
Mike Benz
Right, right. But Epstein was, you know, by his own, by his own testimony in 1987, he gave an interview and said one of his top clients was Adnan Khashoggi, who was the CIA middleman between the US and Israel. And with respect to Iran Contra. And you know, he, if he's handling sheltering assets for Adnan Khashoggi. And Adnan Khashoggi is the one world's most prolific arms runner and the, the top commission agent of, of Lockheed Martin and Raytheon and everyone else. And, and the whole affair rides on this guy. And his money's being handled by Jeffrey Epstein. That's a pretty big node for the CIA to have to know about, given that that's the linchpin of their operation. And then what's used in Iran Contra for smuggling the drugs and guns and cash to fund that illegal war? Well, it was Southern air transport, a CI proprietary airline. In 1994, Jeffrey Epstein negotiates the transfer of Southern Air Transport, that very CI proprietary airline, to move from Miami, where it was doing Iran Contra work, to Columbus, Ohio, where Jeffrey Epstein was given a giant townhouse. And that was where the Limited was headquartered. The Southern Air Transport, the CIA airline, moved directly to Columbus to specifically to service Jeffrey Epstein's company, or at least the company he had durable power of attorney over. When Jeffrey Epstein bought Little St. James and the all of his property in the U.S. virgin Islands. That was also one of the seat of operations for Southern Air Transport, the CIA airline, because the money laundering funnel for Iran Contra started in the US Virgin Islands before it was pushed out to Swiss and Panamanian bank accounts. You have, you have this whole network. I mean, I could go on forever about this. But the fact is we have, we have an ODNI push right now to try to tell the underside of the iceberg of what has been very visible American history from the JFK files to the Martin Luther King files. And I don't think that we should limit odinized declassifications to the 20th century. Now obviously what, what Tulsi has been doing has been completely fantastic around Russiagate. She has run laps and is, is stunting on the, you know, the Durham investigation, which was completely tepid. Tulsi has done more in just a few months than Durham appeared to have done in his whole lifetime in terms of investigative research of intelligence files and including them in Justice Department referrals. But the fact is the Martin Luther King story isn't it? IS has very strange intelligence adjacencies just like the JFK one. I mean, we had, we had the CIA ties to, to the JFK assassination on the front page A one, you know, headlines of the Washington Post just a week and a half ago with the, with the Joe and Needy story. The Tulsi just put out 230,000 files on Martin Luther King, which again, it is also these very strange intelligence links from Martin Luther King being shot and falling into the arms of a guy who. He thought it was his friend in Bodyguard but turned out to be.
- [25:55]
Jack Posobiec
And, and undercover CIA. And Ben, I should add, we're going to be running a special episode. We just had Margaret Roberts on, on the new book about Oklahoma City. I'll have to get you a copy of it, brother. And we're going to be doing next week an entire deep dive on Oklahoma City because this is what's so great. And, and Ben's. I'm, I'm going, I'm going to need to get you a. My pillow man, because I'm going to say something that is going to make you lose sleep for a week. You know what? Two names come up again and again in the Oklahoma City story. You know, Merrick Garland is one. Merrick. Merrick Garland. You know, Merrick Garland is one. But the other one is Eric Holder. It's, it's Garland and Holder all over this thing. And they both become attorneys.
- [26:40]
Mike Benz
Yes, they got their start in Pat Con.
- [26:41]
Jack Posobiec
They got their start all Pat Con. The Elohim All Patriot conspiracy. This was an operation Elohim City. And what do they do? They set up fake right wing race militias to try to entrap citizens. And one of those operations went wrong. Mike, can we hold you over for a little bit? Because we have a break right now. President Trump apparently just addressed Epstein yet again. Again. And I want to play that audio for you and get your quick reaction if you can hold over the break. This. This is huge. This is coming straight from Air Force One, folks. President Trump talking about Epstein while we are talking about Epstein. Real America's voice. Breaking news. Don't turn the dial.
- [27:25]
President Trump
Where's Jack? Where's Jack? Where is he? Jack, I want to see you. Great job, Jack.
- [27:36]
Mike Benz
Thank you.
- [27:37]
President Trump
What a job you do. You know, we have an incredible thing. We're always talking about the fake news.
- [27:41]
Jack Posobiec
And the bad, but we have guys.
- [27:43]
President Trump
And these are the guys should be getting policies.
- [27:48]
Jack Posobiec
All right, Jack, back live here. Human Events Daily, folks. I want to get right to this president. As we were speaking just minutes ago, President Trump, they're live on Air Force One. What has been bringing up Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell yet again. We're going to play his audio for you. I haven't even heard this yet. We're going to play this right now.
- [28:10]
Mike Benz
Epstein has a certain reputation, obviously.
- [28:13]
President Trump
Just curious, were some of the workers that were taken from you. Were some of them young women? Were some of them young women? Well, I don't want to say, but everyone knows the people that were taken. And it was the concept of taking people that work for me is mad. But that story's been pretty well out there. And the answer is, yes, they were in the spa. Yeah, people that work in the spa. I have a great spa, one of the best spas in the world in Mar a Lago. And people were taken out of the spa, hired by him. In other words, gone. And other people would come and complain. This guy is taking people from the spa. I didn't know that. And then when I heard about it, I told him, I said, listen, we don't want you taking our people. Whether it was spa or not spa, I don't want them taking people. And he was fine. And then not too long after that, he did it again. And I said, out of here.
- [29:14]
Jack Posobiec
Mr. President, one of those stolen, you know, persons that include Virginia.
- [29:23]
President Trump
I don't know. I think she worked at the spa. I think so. I think that was one of the people. He stole her. And by the way, she had no complaints about us, as you know, none whatsoever.
- [29:38]
Dr. Shea Bradley Farrell
We've seen how good.
- [29:42]
Jack Posobiec
All right, so there you go. Moments ago, President Trump knew that Epstein was doing this recruiting. And Ghislaine Maxwell, we know Ghislaine Maxwell was the one who approached Virginia Jaffre there at the Spa. That may be what, why, why President Trump answered the way he did. Because it was actually Maxwell who recruited Virginia Jeffrey, Mike Bran, Mike Benz get your initial reaction to that?
- [30:05]
Mike Benz
Yeah, it makes sense. I mean, the timing lines up. We talked about the fact that Epstein was hanging around Mar a Lago and the like in the 1990s. They ran through somewhat similar circles in terms of the kind of Republican this, you know, pre1993, Epstein was more a Republican story than a Democrat story. And it looked like Epstein was handling money for folks who were involved in Ronald Reagan foreign policy, which seems, which was a big early network of Donald Trump as well. But, you know, the fact to me is we do need to get answers on this intelligence side. I just feel like the clock is ticking on this. The Justice Department will be much better prepared to ask questions of Ghislaine Maxwell when they themselves have the answer. It's. And I'm happy to see this forward motion, but it is a little bit infuriating that you have this kind of, some of these things are easy to get answers to and the fact that they're, they're leaving that part of the equation out. I don't really care about the client list. If I don't have an answer about why the client list matters. That is, was there, were there intelligence touch points to this? Is that why the client list was protected for so long? Is that why the network was protected for so long? I feel like we're never going to get a full answer on this and there's going to be a limited hangout of some fashion. But can you, can we ask the Justice Department to make it a little bit less limited than the direction it's steering in? What did the CIA tell the Justice.
- [31:49]
Jack Posobiec
Department when they, when they, I, I feel you, man. Where can, where can people go to follow you, brother?
- [31:55]
Mike Benz
Follow me on X, on YouTube, on Rumble. It's all at Mike Ben Cyber. I think that Ed Martin should be the lead on this from the weaponization doj. That way Pam doesn't have to run the whole thing herself.
- [32:08]
Jack Posobiec
Yeah, Ed is right there. I think it's perfect. Benz, thank you so much for that. President Trump now want to go through. There's some more that has been coming out. He's doing this press gaggle, as we said on Air Force One just released a new ultimatum on Russia. We're going to play that for you right now. 10 to 12 days. Is that, has that started yet or when can we, you know, see the official statement that that is the New.
- [32:33]
President Trump
I'll tell you what, I'll give it to you. Now do you want a big scoop?
- [32:35]
Jack Posobiec
Yes.
- [32:36]
President Trump
Everybody else, close your ears. Okay, you ready?
- [32:38]
Dr. Shea Bradley Farrell
I'm ready.
- [32:39]
President Trump
Ten days from today.
- [32:41]

President Trump
How do you communicate? We have a scoop and then, you know, we're going to put on tariffs and stuff and I don't know if it's going to affect Russia because he wants to obviously probably keep the war going, but we're going to put on tariffs and the various things that you put on it may or may not affect him.

Jack Posobiec
But so he actually limited an extra day. Remember Yesterday he said 12 days, 10 to 12 days, and now he's saying 10 days from today. So that means it's an 11 day thing. The tariffs, by the way, would mainly be on those who do. All right, guys, so that's, that's the end of President Trump's comments there. President Trump talking, it sounds like economic sanctions and, or tariffs is what he's implying there regarding Russia. 10 days, just 10 days from today. And this is, this is huge because he has not talked about this yet. We've actually got from human events.com was a new column up there. Dr. Shay, Bradley Farrell is joining us. Dr. Bradley Farrell, can I get your. You've written this huge column all about foreign Policy@Human Events.com Everyone needs to go read it. But can I get your initial reaction and read on President Trump there, the ten day deadline.

Dr. Shea Bradley Farrell
Yeah, Jack, you know what, this has potential to be big and to bring Russia to its knees finally. And the reason I say this is Trump has hinted at putting 100% tariffs on countries that are buying Russian energy. And Russian energy, I believe, is Russia's biggest source of income. In fact, Russia used its own energy against Europe once they put energy sanctions on Russia at the beginning of the Ukraine war. Well, Russia turned that right around on them. You know, cut the amount of energy down that they were supplying Europe, which drove Europe's prices high and really has put the economy in decline. And this was something that Trump told Europe not to do, if you will remember that, not to rely on Russian energy. If you remember, the Germans laughed at President Trump at the United nations in the first administration. But anyway, Russian oil and gas is a big deal to them. And we have seen that President Trump has been extremely successful in putting American interests back at the heart of foreign diplomacy.

Jack Posobiec
Well, and this is, this has been.
- [35:16]
Dr. Shea Bradley Farrell
As a leverage tool.
- [35:18]
Jack Posobiec
Well, and this has been. So this is, and I want to read everyone the headline. And this is what we're planning to talk about today under Trump, foreign policy is a return to sovereignty for the United States and global nations. So walk us through your theory of the case for Trump's foreign policy, perhaps the Trump Doctrine.
- [35:39]
Dr. Shea Bradley Farrell
Yeah, Jack, you know what's really cool is that Trump is actually crushing the status quo of the U.S. foreign policy establishment the way we've been doing it for decades, since the end of World War II. Change in the economic system, globally, changing the political system. And it's very big that we have taken a sovereignty turn under Trump's foreign policy because it is in direct opposition to the globalist agenda. So the leadership of the European Union, the United nations, and other international organizations, and what is really interesting about it, Jack, is Trump is protecting our sovereignty. We see that with him closing borders, getting us out of these international organizations that are not in our benefit. But also at his heart, he wants to protect the sovereignty of other countries. He spoke about this in our first administration, but if you look at the second one, he is really putting, you know, action into it. He reduced the U.S. agency for International Development, its funding to about 18% of what it was. And, you know, during the Obama administration, I had done some research. I was actually an international development professional, and I uncovered through my research that we had all these corrupt programs that taxpayers were paying for that were interfering in political systems of other countries that were promoting the sexual orientation, gender identity, like curriculum to school kids in developing countries, like, with scales where you could measure how you felt sexually that day or how you felt in your gender that day. This is what we were paying the USAID to, to do in other countries. And Trump said, no, and I'll end with this, Jack. I had at that time religious leaders from Africa, members of Parliament from European countries, leaders of all types coming to me and saying, your country, your foreign aid is trampling on our sovereignty, our religion, our culture. Can you please help us? So that is now what the Trump administration is doing, and it improves our public image around the world.

Jack Posobiec
And that's what it comes down to. It's if we're pushing this insane nonsense through usaid, and I support the work so much of cutting those programs. Still a lot more cutting that needs to go on, according to my sources at State Department. Be right back. Jack Posobic, Human Events Daily, RealMerc's voice.

President 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 great.
- [38:39]
Jack Posobiec
Amen. All right, Jack Boic, we're on back live. We're talking about President Trump and how he's really leading this push for. I love the way that Dr. Shea, Bradley Farrell has put this. And we've got her new column up@human events.com sovereignty and this idea of because, yeah, you could say America first, but then, of course, the problem is how do you align that with, you know, other countries that have our goal? And the goal is what is the opposite of globalism? Well, the opposite of globalism is sovereignty. So, Dr. Shea, walk us through some of this because you mentioned in your piece Hungary, obviously you and, you and I were in Hungary. We've been to a number of CPAC hungaries. I was just at CPAC Poland. I'm actually going to be returning to Poland for the inauguration in just about one week. And really, these are all Viktor Orban and Novrotsky, the new Polish president. They won because they stand for the sovereignty of their countries. I think there might be an audio issue there. Can we, can we see what's going on with that?
- [39:44]
Dr. Shea Bradley Farrell
Can you hear me?
- [39:44]
Jack Posobiec
Oh, wait, there it is. There it is. Dr. Shea, that's my fault.
- [39:47]
Dr. Shea Bradley Farrell
I apologize. But I was saying, you were absolutely right that I have seen a rise in nationalism, not just in governments around the world, but in the population. I mean, you're talking about the president in Poland that was just narrowly elected in opposition, really, to the stance of the prime minister. That's a great win. The Freedom Party in Austria has increased greatly in the number of votes and support it has. The AfD party in Germany. All of these are conservative parties focused on protecting the sovereignty of the nation state. And it's directly opposed, like you just said, to the globalist agenda, to the leadership of the European Union and of the United nations and of these other international organizations.
- [40:39]
Jack Posobiec
And, and so what President Trump has done in terms of laying out this new form, this has really broken the back of the idea that we had before of this international liberalism that was really pushed by first Obama and then Biden.
- [40:55]
Dr. Shea Bradley Farrell
Yeah, you are absolutely right about that. And our allies are very excited and encouraged by this. You and I just saw each other at CPAC Hungary about a month ago. And before that, I had done a five city book tour on a book that I wrote about Hungary called Last Warning to the West. It's actually a book for Americans to warn us about the Marxism that has crept into the United States and the West. But in that book, Tour, Jack, I talked to hundreds of people that were so encouraged that President Trump was in leadership. There was a real leader of the United States now that was not bent on trampling on their sovereignty, pushing ideologies and programs and political interference into their countries. Because, Jack, as you know, Europe also is really dealing with this. They are under attack with lawfare. Their freedom of speech is under attack. You look at Germany. I just talked to a member of the AfD party who, whose home was raided because he had the audacity to actually criticize a political leader. So if you post something like that, criticizing a political leader in Germany on X, it can get your home raided and you jailed. So they're having a lot of problems. But there's a lot of conservatives that are joined with us, as you well know, and we need to stand together because I think the Trump administration is a fantastic time for us to defeat the globalist agenda together.

Jack Posobiec
I couldn't agree more. Dr. Shea, where can people go to get access to your new article and to follow you?
- [42:49]
Dr. Shea Bradley Farrell
Well, go to Human Events, of course, Jack. I'm a regular columnist now, and I'm very proud of that. Human Events is such a great media outlet because it tells the truth. And you can find out about what we do at counterpointinstitute.org or follow me on X@rshaydc. Thank you, Jack. I appreciate what you do.

Jack Posobiec
Thank you so much, Dr. Shea. God bless, folks. When we hear President Trump now, and we've talked before about this issue, and really going back to what we talked about at the beginning of the story, we're really talking about commander's desired end state, and the commander's desired end state. He's the commander in chief, the commander of the entire US Foreign policy and the commander of obviously US Armed forces. The idea should be, and President Trump has said over and over that he wants to end these wars. Now, the question, of course, for Russia is, and I've said this over and over and over, and I'm gonna bring up something that perhaps nobody has mentioned yet when it comes to this, but could it be that President Trump is pushing harder for an early end or an early deal with Russia? And what did we talk about yesterday? A potential impending collapse in Ukraine, not just of the military front, but what we're also seeing is a deteriorating political position. And we had Dan Caldwell, former Trump DoD official, on to talk about this. And now Zelensky faces a deteriorating political position in Kiev, a city where he's currently in. We'll see if he makes it to London by Christmas time and a potential military collapse where the stakes couldn't be higher. And President Trump certainly doesn't want to see scenes out of Ukraine that looked like Afghanistan during that collapse of Kabul, the fall of Kabul. And so perhaps it could be that they're looking very hard to freeze that conflict prior to this. And that could be why he's ratcheting this up. Remember, President Trump has, we've got access to intelligence and sources and information that's out there. Absolutely. We have translators, I have an in house translator for a variety of places of the world. But at the same time, we have nowhere near the level of intelligence that President Trump has and briefing that President Trump has on all of these issues, whether it be Israel, Gaza, whether it be East Asia and the Chinese Communist Party, and certainly here with Russia, Ukraine. And so is President Trump trying to shut this down because he's worried about a potential collapse in Ukraine? And that's exactly what we've been talking about for weeks at this point, that the Russians would be looking for the end of July. And we are now in that end of July to push out beyond those well defended eastern Russian speaking provinces, those cities that are now currently being enveloped. And what we're now seeing is this big push where the Russians are pinching those. And what did we talk about with Dan Caldwell yesterday? The supply lines. If you cut the supply lines of an army, then you have effectively ended and neutralized that army's ability to make war. And if you do so, and the vast majority of those forces are forward rather than in more defensible rear positions where you're shortening your supply lines, then the question really is, what comes next? What would come next is a collapse. So that's certainly an angle of all of this. I do think as well that President Trump is, of course, as he says, very disturbed by what he sees on television, by the information and intelligence that is being provided to him as well. The conditions in the Gaza refugee camps, the conditions on the ground in Ukraine, the body bags, the people dying and the civilians, which I've been talking about now here on Human Events Daily for three years straight when it comes to Ukraine, after having visited Odessa and particularly Nikolayev, seeing people who live within harm's way, where people who live close to the front in cities that are being bombed day after day, just visited Kiev again back in February with Secretary Bessen, and we saw buildings that had been hit. In fact, there was a bombing the day that we arrived, a drone attack. People are being caught in the middle as the empires rumble. And it is a noble goal, a truly noble goal for President Trump and for the world. Put an end to these conflicts, to seek a peaceable solution and to help the civilians while still understanding that you're never going to get to a true peace or an actual true truths and understanding around the world until you have direct conversations between those world leaders. And that's what it's going to take. Absolutely. When it comes to Russia, ladies and gentlemen, as always, you have my permission. Lay ashore.
