Overview
This episode of "Human Events" with Jack Posobiec delivers a tense, fast-paced examination of the ongoing civic unrest and political turmoil across the United States as of October 2025. The main topics include the federal response to riots and violence in cities like Chicago and Portland, calls for the use of the Insurrection Act and National Guard, mass deportations, breakdowns within the justice system, and a transition to actionable political organizing in New Jersey. Jack speaks unapologetically from a nationalist, law-and-order perspective and rallies listeners around the need for political engagement and grassroots ballot chasing ahead of critical state elections.
Key Discussion Points & Insights
1. Law & Order Crisis – Federal Response to Urban Unrest
- Jack opens the show with breaking news about an unprecedented FBI "purge," with hundreds being let go or fired, in what he frames as a move towards government efficiency but possibly deeper politicization ([00:28]–[00:54]).
- Troop Movements: Reports on Texas National Guard being flown into the Chicago area by federal order to respond to violent anti-ICE protests, despite legal pushback from Illinois state officials ([00:54]–[01:23]).
- Battle for Control: Portland, Oregon is highlighted for resisting federal guard deployments, with state and local officials in open conflict with the White House ([01:30]–[01:46]).
- Antifa & Domestic "Insurrection": Jack labels the unrest as coordinated insurrection, calls for invoking the Insurrection Act, and likens Trump’s possible actions to George Washington's response in the Whiskey Rebellion ([02:14]–[06:38]).
Memorable Quote:
“Cities of Portland and Chicago who are flirting with open rebellion … President Trump last night said that he would be open to invoking the Insurrection Act.”
— Jack Posobiec, [05:32]
2. Mandate for Mass Deportations & Order
- Jack repeatedly emphasizes perceived popular mandate (“56% said get rid of all illegal aliens”), linking the Trump administration’s legitimacy to aggressive immigration enforcement ([06:38]–[07:38]).
- He denounces “anti-ICE types” and reiterates that the administration should not hesitate to use military force for domestic law enforcement purposes.
- Jack frames current events as “the second American Revolution” and a fight for America First values ([07:04]).
3. Guest: Savannah Hernandez on Portland's Breakdown
- Savannah Hernandez, frontline reporter, describes day-to-day chaos in Portland: lawless streets, unchecked violence, constant threats to locals, children exposed to graphic anti-police and anti-ICE graffiti ([10:29]–[12:43]).
- She asserts that the majority in affected cities supports federal intervention—even if not Trump voters—due to a desire for basic safety.
- Discusses complicity or inaction from city police and courts, arguing the local justice system actively “aids and abets” criminal activists by releasing repeat offenders ([14:46]–[16:44]).
Memorable Quote:
"American citizens who voted for Donald Trump ... and some who didn't ... would absolutely support this measure because they are tired of living in a lawless, third-world-like environment."
— Savannah Hernandez, [11:25]
- Jack underscores that much of the national media ignores these stories and that independent journalists face physical danger to report the truth ([12:43]–[14:46]).
- Both agree that prior federal responses (e.g., in DC) briefly restored public safety and order despite initial outcries from “the media” ([16:44]–[18:07]).
Savannah’s Analogy:
"The progressive left is like a screaming toddler who wants to touch a burning stove ... and in this instance these people are hurting our country."
— Savannah Hernandez, [18:07]
4. Intersection of Immigration, Crime, and Political Action
- Discussing cartel-linked gangs (Latin Kings) putting out hits on border patrol agents—framed as “an invasion and an insurrection” ([19:17]–[21:01]).
- Concerns about cultural integration and language barriers in daily life voiced through anecdotal experiences ([21:01]–[23:35]).
- Both Jack and Savannah accuse mainstream media of manipulating public perception and obscuring causal links between open border policy, social disorder, and economic woes ([23:35]–[26:11]).
Notable Exchange:
Jack: "Donald Trump won the national popular vote by ... campaigning specifically on these policies of deporting the massive amounts of foreigners who should not be in our country."
Savannah: "The media has done a fabulous job of manipulating and warping ... Americans don't understand why the economy is so bad ... because the media refused to report on it."
([23:35]–[26:11])
5. Transition to Political Organizing: New Jersey as the "Play"
- The conversation pivots from unrest and national policy to actionable, ground-level political work in New Jersey, featuring campaign organizer Cliff Maloney ([27:17]–[28:06]).
- Ballot Chasing Strategy: Maloney outlines the strategy to “chase ballots” and compete in early/absentee voting, directly targeting low-propensity Republican voters ([28:40]–[34:57]).
- Reflects on the cultural connection of Philly-area voters to New Jersey shore towns, underlining the emotional stakes and potential voter mobilization ([28:40]–[34:41]).
- The need to adapt to modern elections as “ballot collection races” rather than persuasion contests; massive door-knocking and outreach planned ([34:57]–[35:58]).
Memorable Quote:
"These are months-long campaigns … you're banking the votes. Once again, for all the critics out there that hate mail-in ballots, I do too. But ... we're making low-propensity voters much more likely to vote."
— Cliff Maloney, [41:59]
- Jack insists New Jersey is at a “once in a generation” tipping point, citing a rightward shift in every county and the possibility of flipping the governor’s seat ([43:14]–[44:57]).
- Explicit condemnation of political violence, referencing the murder of Charlie Kirk and targeted threats against conservative families as a call to political unity and peaceful mobilization ([44:57]–[46:03]).
Notable Quotes & Moments

- Savannah Hernandez, on Portland:
"The law-abiding American people put the Trump administration in office … to fix this country because it has gotten so out of control, from the illegal immigration issue to the domestic terrorist issue like Antifa.” ([11:25])
