Human Events with Jack Posobiec – November 13th, 2025 (Released Nov. 14th, 2025)

Podcast: Real America’s Voice (iHeartPodcasts)
Host: Jack Posobiec
Main Theme:
A deep dive into the end of the national government shutdown, breaking news on the Trump administration’s latest policies (notably, the “Fostering the Future” initiative for foster care), designating foreign Antifa chapters as terrorist organizations, and scathing media analysis—especially of the BBC’s misrepresentation of Trump and related global media bias. The episode strongly emphasizes family, children’s welfare, and media integrity from a conservative, populist-American perspective.

1. Government Shutdown Ends, Relief Proposals, and Policy Moves

• [02:02] Shutdown’s End:
  Jack opens by confirming the record-length government shutdown is over, with Congress passing a bill to fund through January 30 and restore federal workers’ pay.

  “The longest government shutdown in US history has ended.” – Jack Posobiec (02:02)

• [02:30] Trump’s Relief Ideas:
  Brief discussion of previous proposals for a $2,000 tax rebate (“doge dividend”) for citizens:

  “Should US citizens expect a $2,000 proposal? Is the White House committed to making that happen?” – Jack Posobiec (02:37)

  White House response:

  “The White House is committed to making that happen, yes... exploring all legal options.” – WH Spokesperson (02:43)

2. Immigration Enforcement & Operation “Criminal Return”

• [03:00] Immigration and Child Safety:
  Trump and Kristi Noem’s Homeland Security Dept. lead a sweep (Operation “Criminal Return”) targeting sex offenders who are illegal immigrants:

  “These individuals should have never been in our country to begin with... they targeted children.” – Jack Posobiec (03:19)

  “The fact that they were sexual deviants and perverts, and now we’ve gotten them off our streets.” – Progressive Commentator (03:25)

3. Trump Administration Designates Antifa Chapters as Foreign Terrorist Organizations

• [04:00] Antifa Designation:
  Breaking news: The State Department now designates select Antifa chapters in Europe as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs).

  • Groups: Antifa Ost (Germany), International Revolutionary Front/Informal Anarchist Federation (Italy), Armed Proletarian Justice (Greece), Revolutionary Class Self Defense (Greece).
  • Details on past violent acts, expanding possible designations (Spain, UK, France).
  • Explains legal powers granted by FTO status, including bans on providing material support, asset freezes, immigration and travel blocks.

  “A foreign terrorist organization designation gives the State Department incredible powers to go after... these organizations – and their affiliates.” – Jack Posobiec (05:20)

  • Suggests a desire for further crackdowns, notably referencing a Rutgers academic’s alleged ties with Spanish Antifa.

4. Fostering the Future: Executive Order on Foster Care

A. Setting the Context: Vulnerable Children and the Foster System Crisis

• Switching focus, Jack discusses the perennial struggles in the American foster care system:

  • Children separated at the border, risks of exploitation, and government failures.
  • References to “Sound of Freedom” and awareness on child trafficking.

  “If you want to stop child trafficking, you need a shored up, secure and guaranteed foster system.” – Jack Posobiec (11:52)

B. Executive Order Signing Ceremony

Melania Trump’s Speech [16:00]

• Outlines the “Fostering the Future” initiative:
  • Originated in 2021 as part of her Be Best campaign, focusing on scholarships and tech-based opportunities for foster care youth.
  • Praises universities partnering with the program (Vanderbilt, University of Miami, Villanova).
  • Calls for public-private collaboration nationwide and faith-based organizational involvement.
  • Inspires action:

    “Rise above the ease of inaction. I predict this small spark today will ignite a profound and lasting nationwide movement.” – Melania Trump (19:53)

  • Ends with a unifying, visionary call for supporting foster youth’s transition to self-sufficiency and leadership.

President Trump’s Remarks and Order Signing [21:23]

• Expresses gratitude to Melania, government officials (VP JD Vance, cabinet, senators, and reps), and foster care advocates.

• Cites statistics: 15,000 age out of foster care each year, many at risk.

• Details provisions of the EO:

  • Establishes a “Fostering the Future” federal program.
  • Mobilizes federal agencies, businesses, colleges, faith-based and private organizations to invest in foster youth (jobs, education, mentoring).
  • Highlights an inspiring foster care success story: Eric Alvarez (Omaha, NE) who, after foster care and mentorship, is on track to commission in the Air Force [24:05].
  • New website/platform for housing/health/resources, expansion of federal tax credits, and scholarships for foster youth.
  • Strong emphasis on “choice” in education, support for faith-based adoption, and opposition to “woke” policies limiting religious foster families.

  “The Bible tells us… one of the measures of any society is how it cares for vulnerable children and orphans.” – Donald Trump (31:40)

  • Commits to fighting to protect foster youth, empowering them to succeed, and aligning the administration with religious liberty and traditional family values.
  • Concludes with the formal signature of the Executive Order.

5. Media Critiques: BBC “January 6th” Documentary & Broader Media Bias

A. BBC Accused of Defaming Trump

• The latter part of the show is a passionate takedown of the BBC, accused of “selective editing” to suggest Trump incited the Jan. 6 riot.

• Notes the resignation of the BBC’s Director General and News Head as fallout.

• Explains UK “license fee” funding model for the BBC ($225/year household tax), with penalties for nonpayment.

  “No organization would be brazen enough to slander and defame the President of the United States with that much confidence unless it were a part of their DNA to have a clear-cut agenda against Trump and the right.” – Human Events Host (49:27)

• Criticizes other BBC reporting, including gender/health stories and “pro-Hamas” coverage.

• Compares BBC’s model to NPR/PBS and raises First Amendment concerns.

B. Guest “Steve Gruber” Analyzes Legal Ramifications [56:02]

• Discusses the differences in UK and US libel law; believes Trump could win substantial damages in UK courts.

  “The onus is on the BBC to prove they didn’t do this with malice… the penalties are severe.” – Steve Gruber (56:13)

6. Additional Political/Cultural Soundbites & Commentary

• Quick segments critique “progressive” Democrats (esp. AOC & Jasmine Crockett) on welfare policy, gender issues.

• Observations on the popularity (and intra-party haters) of Senator John Fetterman (who had a health scare during the episode), and on RFK Jr. (criticized by JFK’s grandson).

• Recurrent, often mocking, asides about “woke” terminology, transfer payments, and socialist policies.

  “No, no, no. It’s no MAGA that’s going up [to AOC] and said, I’m really dying to be a socialist.” – Host (41:35)
