This is what happens when the fourth turning meets fifth generation warfare. A commentator, international social media sensation and former Navy intelligence veteran. This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.

Christ is king. Breaking news from overnight, Kiev hit by a massive Russian drone and missile attack, the deadliest since the summer of 2024. Nine people were killed, more than 70 were injured. Two residential apartment buildings were hit, while other buildings in the capital were also targeted.

First responders are still looking for anyone that could be trapped in the rubble. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy cut his trip in South Africa early in order to go back to Kiev. This morning, trade war confusion. China pushing back after President Trump indicated that the U.S. is negotiating with the world's other biggest economy. Overnight, multiple Chinese officials denying that there have been talks. One saying, quote, there are no trade negotiations between China and the U.S.

Any claims about progress are unfounded. Yesterday, the president signed executive orders targeting universities he views as liberal adversaries to his political agenda. It's part of his campaign to end what he calls wokeness and diversity efforts in education. The Supreme Court appears to favor an opposition

out option for LGBTQ+ readings in school. A majority of the justices signaling support for the religious rights of parents in Maryland who want to remove their kids from classes using the storybooks. Donald Trump's net approval rating on immigration is actually positive, which is very much unlike his first term. If you ask are we on the right track,

or the wrong track when it comes to immigration policy. The plurality say that we're on the right track, which is very different from where we were just a few months ago under Joe Biden. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily here live, Washington, D.C. Today is April 24th, 2025. Anno Domini.

100 days. That's right. We are less than one week away from the 100th day of President Trump's second term, his second administration, many are calling it. And in fact, I'm pleased to announce and to have heard the president and his team announced last night that they have decided they will, in fact, be holding a massive public rally to celebrate 100 days of

up in Michigan. I think this is great. I think the fact that the inauguration was itself canceled for President Trump, he wasn't able to have the parade, he wasn't able to celebrate the victory. I think it's big and I think it's important. I hope that there is, in fact, a lot of pomp and circumstance at this rally. I hope that they add some more of those elements so that it's not just a traditional political rally for President Trump, but also a moment for the country and everyone to understand that

that this country has been changed, has been shaped, and has been shifted because of the events of 2024, but even writ large, the events of the last 100 days. And so what are we talking about the things that have been done? Look, my top three have always been, and I've been talking about this for years, trade, immigration, and foreign policy. If we are able to change the trade, immigration, and foreign policy, we can change the entire trajectory of this country.

And how do we do that? Well, on trade, of course, we know he's fighting the terror fight. On immigration, look what's happening. The mass deportations. Yes, I know there's fights in the courts, but the administration has completely changed the entire tenor of what's going on. Now, if you get caught in one of these gangs, where do you get sent? El Salvador. You get sent to Bukele, and Bukele will put you away.

And then finally, of course, foreign policy, working to wind down the wars, particularly the war between Russia and Ukraine that, as we learned recently, has been run by the United States militarily on the tactical and operational level out of an intelligence command and control suite in Germany. This is crazy.

what we elected President Trump to do. And so I sit there day in, day out and say, you know what? We've got to actually make sure that we get all that across in the swamp because it is the swamp running these information warfare and 4GW attacks and operations on President Trump, on the administration, Pete Hegseth and others about what they're doing. But let's talk about where the American people are and how they think about this coming up next.

Nothing will stand in our way. And our golden age has just begun. This is Human Events with Jack Posobiec. Now it's time for everyone to understand what America First truly means. Welcome to the second American Revolution.

All right, Jack Posobiec here. Folks, want to bring in Charlie Kirk's third hour audience on the Salem Radio Network for today's edition of Human Events Daily. Folks, President Trump has always put America first, strengthening our borders, strengthening our economy, and standing up to global elites who'd rather see us fall. And just like Trump is fighting to protect America's future, you should be fighting to protect your financial future, too.

While others are distracted, gold is quietly making history, hitting record highs, moving part of our savings into real physical assets like gold and silver that doesn't depend on Wall Street. It's a smart move. Thinking about protecting your retirement is not enough. Taking action is. Roll over part of your IRA, your 401k, TSP, or make a direct purchase of gold and silver today and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with it. Look, I trust my partners.

All right, folks, coming up on the 100 days of President Trump's administration, the first 100 days of his second administration, we should say. And I wanted to break down not only where the president is, but also where the country is. And who better to understand that in public opinion than the people's pundit himself, Rich Barris, joins us here on the program. What's up, Rich? Living the dream, Jack. How you doing, brother?

Oh, we always love the dream and we're living the dream every single day. And so, look, I got to tell you, I'm looking at some of the things across the board and I'll just say, you know, people say, oh, you know, there's this thing, there's that thing. I say, guys, guys, it's a fight. We always knew it was going to be a fight. We told you it was going to be a fight. Yeah, we won in November, but just because we won the battle didn't mean the war was over. No, it meant that the war was moving to the next phase.

face as people say what about the courts what about this to hold my guys guys guys did you really think that they were just going to give you your country back hand you your country back never ever so rich that being said let's talk about where president trump is now in terms of these approval ratings which by the way are pretty high when it comes to president trump to begin with

Yeah, I just want to preface that answer with something. But yeah, I mean, they were never going to roll over, Jack. Let me just say that. But I want to preface this, what I'm about to say, with something, which is – and it's stunning to me that we have to go through this every year, every cycle after cycle. I cannot –

beat this like a anymore like a dead horse uh not all polls are created equal and it is stunning to me that here we are now a couple of months after the election in april and we're still looking at the same pollsters who got stuff wrong and giving them the same level of credibility um

as those who got it right. And if you look at RealClearPolitics right now, what you're going to see is that Trump's approval is underwater by about the average that these pollsters have understated his support. And approval isn't support. It's not completely equal to vote chair, of course, but it is one of our best gauges for whether or not, obviously, the country supports the president. So what I mean by this is,

It's a little bit frustrating, you know, from my side of the fence here. It's a little bit frustrating that every election we go through this and where, you know, people who will support Donald Trump are panicked over the media polls. And then we get to the election. They're wrong. They're wrong dramatically. And there's like maybe three of us in the entire country, the entire world.

who got the election correct, Jack. And yet when the election is over, we give them the same weight that we give to the others who got it correct. And we have to stop doing that. Emerging media should stop lending these people that

much credibility because you are the new credible source of news for the generation that's 60 and under. You are that source of news. So when I turn on, you know, and I don't have to name drop anybody here. You know the people I'm talking about. When I turn on these shows and I see...

them obsessing over Reuters or Ipsos or this poll or that poll, I'll be honest with you, it's a little bit disappointing. You know, you spend hour after hour, day after day, breaking this stuff down and explaining to people that this industry is filled with incompetence and it's filled with corruption.

All right. There's no other way to put it. And whatever is fueling that is irrelevant discussion for another day, but it's proven that is demonstrably true, demonstrably true. And every election, it continues to prove it, especially in the Trump era, it's gotten worse. So just remember that, uh,

You know, there are a couple of us who know how to do this correctly, and there are reasons for that we can get into, but there are not many anymore. And that's sad, but it's true. And I'll also say this. I was concerned about this. I came on your show. We talked about this a lot. The no and low prop voters who supported Donald Trump first time in my lifetime, that the adult or voter eligible population, the VP, the voting eligible population, was more Republican or more Trumpy in this case specifically than the

likely voter population altogether that was being driven by these people, those low and no prop voters, and they don't take surveys, and they just appeared out of nowhere. The response rates began to decline leading up into the election. We were still all right. We still did okay. But after the election, since his honeymoon ended, these people have begun to phase out of the sample. They go back to their normal life.

They're not your 65-year-old neighbor who's obsessing over Fox News or obsessing over CNN, is ready to pick up the pole. The minute I call or one of my employees call, that's just not how it works. These guys are gone, and it's a challenge for us. And if you read the media headlines, you would think that it's gospel, brother. Easter Sunday gospel. It's not.

Wait, Rich, Rich, I got to tell you, man, I got a neighbor that's like this. My neighbor, he's just under 60, so he's right in the age range that you're talking about, but I mean...

I don't even need to watch CNN and MSNBC because all I go do is I talk to my neighbor. I'll be out and I'm walking around and here, you know, here he comes. And it's going to be, oh, Jack, COVID was going to kill everyone. And then it was Russia. It was Putin. And Putin was going to kill. We were all done for. But then also Putin was done for at the same time. It was like an interesting thing where Russia was about to collapse.

And also Russia was about to take over all of Europe. I remember these conversations vividly. And it was always this weird, like, I know more than everybody else. And it's like, dude, you just sit and watch TV all day. You're not like some special savant or anything. All you're doing is repeating whatever they said on Morning Joe, whatever Jake Tapper said. But it's like, oh, these people, they don't know what's coming. They don't know what's coming. They need to watch CNN. Then they would know. And it's like,

Do you ever, and I wonder this, Rich, this is more of, I guess, like a, you know, epistemological question, but it's like, do they ever actually wonder about the things that they told, were told were true that never actually came true? I don't know.

I was, that definitely is that type of question because it's like, what, what do you think, you know, and do you ever look back and review something that you may have thought you did know, or you had a good grasp on and now it is proven, you know, it never came to fruition and it's proven to be incorrect. These are the people, honestly, who somehow sympathize with the Palestinians and Israel is the great big bad yet.

they love Vladimir Zelensky. I mean, Vladimir Zelensky. It doesn't make any... It's not intellectually consistent because they're following along with a social belief system. A social... They...

Jack, you're not going to find that among people who are 45 and below, right? Also, they're just dying to tell you everything they think they know. Meanwhile, the next time you land in Vegas or even D.C., ask your Palestinian taxi driver, all right?

Ask your Hispanic Uber driver or whatever the next time you guys run around and go to these... We all travel. We all travel a lot. And ask them the last time they even bothered taking a poll or speaking to a pollster. I mean, I know it's anecdotal, but the fact of the matter is these people have different behavioral...

They're in different behavioral categories. We actually assign people these. This is so important because you're right. It is. Those are the people who hang up when the pollster calls. They don't interact. They don't pick up. They're not interested versus the people who, like my neighbor, want to absolutely talk your ear off. This is Jack Posobiec. I'm on with Rich Barris, the People's Pundit. We'll be right back. Human Events Daily. Human Events Daily.

Today, you know, they talk about influencers. These are influencers and they're friends of mine. Jack, where's Jack? He's done a great job.

All right, Jack Posobiec, and we are back. This is today's edition of Human Events Daily. We're on with Rich Barris, the People's Pundit. Someone who was, and Rich, let's be fair, man. You were literally, if not the best, within the top five pollsters nationwide on this election. How many people said we would go seven for seven in the swing states? Well, Rich Barris did. And it's funny how nobody wants to give Big Data Poll that level of credit.

Was it number one? Yeah, that's one. There were even the others who did a good job. They may have had Harris winning Michigan or they may have had Harris winning North Carolina. We are the only ones who had him sweeping every seriously competitive state.

And then Minnesota was close, but it wasn't – it was closer than it has been in recent elections outside of 16. But it still was – it's still lean Harris. But everyone outside of myself consistently had that. There was one pollster who flip-flopped like crazy at the end, and I don't even consider it credible.

I mean, they announced they were doing final polling, Jack. Then we came out with our final polling and they went, oops, let me, actually, we were just kidding. Just kidding. Here's our final polls. It was a joke. They took a bite at the apple, the same damn apple, and it was the same data set. Everyone knows it. Everyone could see it. So there was one person who did that in this country. But these others did a good job. So, you know, when you have some other firms out there that did have Harris winning by one point,

in Michigan, that's within the sample era, and they gave an accurate depiction of how close that race was, but that's not the industry standard. And here's what, there's two things I'm worried about. The people who don't

know how to do this job day in and day out and i know it sounds like i'm taking it personally but i kind of do i have completely bought in and i always have it's why i do this job i've completely bought in to george gallup's uh belief in the role of public polling in a self-governing society and it's dangerous and it undermines democracy whether it doesn't matter whether or not they're doing it on purpose or not it doesn't matter it sows distrust in the process to have

polling that constantly is inaccurate in one direction, which isn't probable. It's not even possible. It's them that that's a systemic, deep problem with the industry, whether it's ethical or methodological. It doesn't matter. It's happening. And the effect is the same. And yet the people who are wrong year in and year out not only get elevated, but and I think maybe this is the part that drives me nuts the most. One side should should

Expect this. CNN is not going to suddenly change because they're embarrassed and humiliated that they were wrong. That's not going to happen. They're going to change when they go out of business because you don't watch or care about the CNN poll anymore. All right. When they don't have the money to fund the poll. Tell me how you really feel. Tell me how you really feel. Right. I mean, let me tell the audience this.

You're doing this. You're fueling this. You're popping a blood vessel every time YouGov, who hasn't gotten an election corrected in 15 years, every time YouGov puts out a poll that you pop a blood vessel over, you're doing it. Just ignore them. They're not credible. Don't read the papers that fund them. They're not credible. So, Rich, guys, what Rich is talking about, just to

to zoom out a little bit is the issue is that this generates headlines

for so many news outlets, which then generates the clicks and shares to say, oh my gosh, all of a sudden, Trump is underwater on war. He's underwater on election, the stock market. Oh my gosh, look, he's totally lost this segment of the population on this issue, immigration. People are totally, the tariff, I remember, Rich, I believe it was YouGov, actually, when Trump announced the tariffs

All of a sudden, YouGov snap poll comes out like 12 hours later. And they're suddenly telling us that America hates the tariffs. And then what do they do? They get to go on CNN. And then they get to go on MSNBC. And then it feels like, and I understand why, but it's almost like the White House press team feels like we need to respond to the narrative that's being put out by these organizations. And what Rich is saying is,

the initial data that's coming in is bad. So garbage in, garbage out. You're responding to a narrative that is knowingly false. It's based on faulty assumptions. It's based on bad data. So the people that you then think you're responding to, they don't exist. And I'll just, we're coming up on the break, but I'll just put it this way. Go up to somebody who voted for President Trump

into 2024 election and ask you, do you regret your vote? Do you wish you had voted for Kamala Harris? Do you wish Joe Biden could still have been president? And see if you can find anyone, anyone who will say that they wish we had kept things going the way that they were going. I guarantee you those people don't exist. This is a false perception. It is false data. That's what's driving it.

And the White House, I love them. And it's and it's guys, don't worry about this stuff. It's fake. It's fraudulent. And look, that's why we call them the fake news. Jack Posobiec. We'll be right back. And Jack, where's Jack? Where's Jack? Where is he? Jack, I want to see you.

Great job, Jack. Thank you. What a job you do. You know, we have an incredible thing. We're always talking about the fake news and the bad, but we have guys, and these are the guys who should be getting policies. All right, Jack Posobiec, here we are back. It's today's edition of Human Events Daily. Look, folks.

I think it's no one's surprise that I've been at the White House recently, numerous times that I've been traveling with administration officials. The media, of course, loves to report this every so often as much as they can. But, you know, when you're in these various environments or when you're traveling to Ukraine with Secretary of Treasury, you know, communications security is paramount. Who is getting into your devices?

Also, you know, when it comes to the secretary, when it comes to their security, and of course they have Secret Service for the physical security, but they also have to make sure that his communication security is protected. Incredibly, of course, because of all of the documents and sensitive information that he is privy to in a real-time basis. And of course, whenever you're around the president, it only ratchets up further and further. So what does this make us think?

think, well, as consumers, as people who all have those cell phones in our pockets and around us and the laptops and everything else, we need to start thinking about our own communications security. And that's where silent comes in. Silent provides Faraday products that block all incoming and outgoing signals so that your devices are safe from the outside world, from their backpacks, phone sleeves, and even pants. Yes, pants.

And walking us really down this line about how the media runs these fake push polls to generate their narratives, to generate false perceptions of reality. You know, and I love it because then Saturday rolls around and here's Trump and Elon and they're walking into the UFC and everybody's cheering. And everybody's like on their feet for him and Mel Gibson saluting from the front row. And you're like, wait a minute.

The people still like the guy. This is not a situation where there's this massive outcry against Trump the way that the media would have you believe. But that being said, Rich, we do need to understand and tell the truth about what's going on. And we know, of course, that President Trump, when it comes down to it, has been making some very big changes and talking about even bigger changes.

We know this has spooked the market the way that this always happens, particularly on the economy. And that's why on this issue, I did want to drill in, Rich. What are you seeing in those numbers when it comes down to it? Because look, these, for better or worse, you know, personally, I think that America has...

has invested too much in the stock market. I think this is something that ultimately perhaps has gotten too much exposure to the average American. This is a casino culture, and yet suddenly we're told this is the best way to expand our money because, of course, this is the way we've set ourselves up financially. I don't usually pop off on this, but I guess I just am. So that being said, though, that is where a lot of people have their money. So Rich,

What are you seeing on the economic front? Yeah, I mean, it's funny to me, Jack, in the period of, let's call it globalization, when they changed the economy from a goods-producing economy to a primarily service sector-reliant market-based economy. And I don't mean markets the way people think. I mean stock market-obsessed-based economy. They've collapsed it.

No less than two times. In order to change the economy into a cheap goods, no manufacturing, no living wage economy, it was going to take disruption to be able to change it back, which is the agenda that people did vote for. And so I just want people to understand, I'm not saying here that there's not economic concern. And for those who watch my show, everyone knows for weeks –

I've been very critical of the White House's messaging because I think they're reactive instead of being proactive, and they're not speaking in the terms that I think they should be speaking in or think would be effective. All right, so I'm not absent criticism, but the truth is it is – Because that's reality. That is the reality that we live in right now, and we do have to live in reality. We're not the left.

That's right. I mean, it's being pushed by people who were never honest to begin with. Right. And what I really see is a similar situation to what happened with Reagan when he was elected in, of course, the 1980 election.

He was hammered from the day he took office in 81 after those tax cuts and the reforms that he pushed. He was hammered all the way up until 83 when the economy started to turn around. He needed to implement a little bit of pain in order to fix what the Carter mistake, Carter and others. It wasn't just Jimmy Carter. But in order to get the get the country back in the right direction, he needed to implement some pretty big changes. And it wasn't a

The benefits were not immediate. It hurt and people were concerned. I just think that everything needs to be put in its proper context. Most of the concern right now is not being driven by reality of higher prices. It's being driven by the perception that there will be higher prices and it's being driven by a certain group's perception. It is not a bad thing. You just mentioned the U.S.A.,

It is not a bad thing to be the party of younger, less white people. OK, it is not a bad thing to be the party of people maybe who now vote at lower rates. But in the future are the growing demographics of this country. You're reacting to negative sentiment that is being put out and being exacerbated because these people take polls.

But particularly older voters who don't really care about what the economy will look like 10 years from now, Jack. They care about what they had saved up for their golden years right now, and they care about whether or not Social Security will be enough. I cannot tell you when we poll how many times I hear from – let's just call it 16 and above –

How many times we will hear in a single polling session, Elon Musk is going to take my Social Security. Okay, I mean, I cannot tell you how many times we hear something like that.

That is what and so much of that, by the way, comes from what you hear. You hear Democrats say this and broadcast media and cable media just regurgitate it. They just great. Elon's never said anything about that. He's not actually spoken out against it so many times. President Trump has been against it, but they know that's the button to press for those voters. It doesn't matter how many times President Trump has said it's a lie. They will just lie.

That's right, and you need to expect that. Look at what I'm saying is here. Don't miss the forest through the trees. Step back and look at the bigger picture. I mean if you course correct now, if you're the Trump administration and you think you're course correcting and you change course now and try to go back to business as usual, you're going to forsake all of the –

All right. And it's time. And I really don't know how else to say this. The president's a bigger thinker guy. You have to look past your own presidency and agenda right now. And if you want your legacy to survive, you're going to need these voters to keep voting for people who have the same letter after your name on the ballot in subsequent elections. In the present short term. All right. Let's say present to like short term future.

it is going to be a little bit tough at the ballot box during special elections, et cetera, et cetera. But the younger generation is basically the most conservative generation we've seen in 50 years. I don't know what, I don't know why. We've been talking about this on the show all week. To have a Roosevelt coalition for 30 years. That is, it is the, you have, you now have this situation where millennials and Gen Y are

are the most right-wing generation in America by almost 10 points, according to Real Clear Politics. Almost 10 points. So, yes, we've seen the 70-plus have, like, a negative 14 deficit, but it's

It's blowing. And by the way, you're not going to see this headline anywhere. I want to say like outside of me and you, like Charlie Kirk, no one is talking about this, that it's millennials. Remember the millennials, the stupid, lazy millennials who can't do anything, can't do anything right, who are ruining America. Guess what?

They are the ones who realize that the system doesn't work for them, and they love that Trump is fighting the system. That's what people elected Trump to do. These are the ones who – and I'm not going to relitigate the whole thing, but they like the change versus what you're talking about, the people at the other end of the age spectrum. And it is economic – a lot of this is economic-driven, folks –

Correction, all of this is economic driven, that they're the ones the system has worked for, and that's why they don't like the changes. So what President Trump is doing is saying, look, we're going to do the best to take care of everybody, but the generation that's coming up right now, they need change, and that's what they voted for.

And I would say this too, even that number that you just flashed on the screen is exaggerated. Because, I mean, I don't want to go through this, but we've talked about this a lot. Going in, I told you he was not going to perform as poorly with seniors as the polls suggested going to the election. There are myriad reasons for this that we have discussed. Polls are very bad. The younger people are underrepresented.

by the way, in those surveys, and the older people are overrepresented and not even polled correctly. All right? Let me... Just the sample sizes alone, I can tell. I already know the answer to this question, but...

You do any post stratification? You do any multi-level regression? You did not. Your sample is not big enough. We, when we do, and this is why people should go to the public polling project, support the public polling project. Yes, that is a pitch. Go to big data poll and do it. This is why we break down age details the way we do and why we...

than in this day and age. Bigger is better. All right, bottom line. You need much larger samples. And the reason they all... And look at what Ann Seltzer did in Iowa. She was a perfect example of this. She completely mispolled the senior vote. Their samples are not big enough to even do that level of analysis or that level, that granular level of weighting because...

They're not breaking up the 50 to 64s, the 65 to 74s, the 75 pluses. Laura hates it when I get into detail like this on shows because she thinks I'm telling other pollsters who are bad at their job secrets that they should figure out on their own. And she's probably right, but it's true. They're not, they do not have representative or large enough samples for each of these subgroups to do the level of weighting that is necessary to see whether or not you are accurately polling these age groups.

And they were a bust going into the election. So now why? Again, how many states did Reuters poll correctly? How many states did the New York Times poll correctly? How many states did Marist poll correctly? And I could just keep going because none of them did. There were like three of us who did a good job. And I'm telling you, it's because they're not doing any of this. They get it all wrong. They...

basically gave Harris a massive advantage with seniors that she never had. By the way, they did it for Biden, too. And this has been a trend that's been happening for years. And you know what? And now here we are again. This isn't what was reflected at the box or excuse me, box office at the polling. This wasn't what it was reflected at the ballot box. 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. Amen.

You poll the public and it turns out the poll, the public can hold conflicting views even within themselves. Part of my job to figure out, okay, where do they actually feel on the overall immigration picture? And I think it's important to note, as we have mentioned, is that Donald Trump's net approval rating on immigration is actually positive, which is very much unlike his first term. If you ask, are we on the right track?

or the wrong track when it comes to immigration policy. The plurality say that we're on the right track, which is very different from where we were just a few months ago under Joe Biden. So, yeah, you see those polling and you see it's conflicting. It kind of actually reminds me a little bit of the gun control debate, right? Where you say, oh, my God, 90 percent back background checks. And then, of course, you look at ballot measures in places like Nevada and Maine. And then when it's actually on the ballot, it's basically 50-50.

In my opinion on this particular topic, what we're really talking about and the metric we should be looking to is do people like when they ask, do you like what Donald Trump's doing on immigration? And if their plurality says yes, which is what's going on, then that's the number that I think is most representative of the public at large.

We're here for our final segment with Rich Barris. And, you know, as we come to President Trump's first hundred days, his second hundred days in a sense, because it's the second administration, let's take a look back because we're almost coming up, and this will be here very soon, on the 10-year anniversary of President Trump coming down that golden escalator. And remember what the world was like in 2015.

If you're a Republican and you mention the word deportations, you were pushed to the side. You were shunned. You were publicly attacked by the media. You were far right.

because you wanted illegal aliens out of the country, or God forbid, you wanted to maintain the current standard of the country that we live in now. You wanted peace. You didn't want congestion in your cities. You didn't want this creaking education system, healthcare system, housing situation, all of these problems that are exacerbated because there are too many people in this country, or the fact that you don't like the cheap foreign labor being imported that's

literally pushing people out of their own jobs in places like Disney where they were having to train their own foreign replacements. You were considered a psycho. And now you look what's going on. They turn around and say, you know what, on this question, even CNN has to admit it.

that Trump is ascendant on this issue, that Trump won on this issue. His entire political career is because he got this right, and in addition, all of the incredible talents and everything else that he's accomplished, but he was right on the money when it came to this issue where the American people are. Rich Barris, I want to bring you in here. And I really do think that it's incredible that look at where

you know, just as we talk about, you know, the trajectory of things, look at where the Republican Party has come since the autopsy of 2012 to today on this issue. It is night and day, and these people have absolutely fallen. They have absolutely fallen. And I got to just say one more thing before we get out, is that to the Republicans in D.C., if you think

Oh, well, we'll just slow roll Trump and then we'll go back to the Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush. No, no. Those type of candidates are never going to win again. If you do try to go back to that kind of party, not only will you destroy the coalition, Maha as well, what you're going to end up with is a world where the far left, like the Luigi's actually take over. Rich Barris.

Yeah, that CNN clip, that was actually interesting. What he's essentially referring to is the wording of surveys. That is what he's being critical. I am, like, forced to say that Harry is right here. He's not right often, but when he is, he is. What he's saying is the survey wording is not getting to the core of public opinion.

And it's a great example is background check and gun control. Oh, my God. 90 percent support, you know, these databases and doing background checks. Right. But then when these measures get thrown on ballots and initiatives and competitive states, they get thrashed or at best, like you said, it's 50 50. We we see this with a lot of a lot of issues, Jack. The bottom line is it's

Do you or would you? Do you support what Trump is doing with tariffs? And do you support the end goal? Are you willing to take a little bit of pain in order to get to like this better future? I mean, they're not really wording these questions like that. Like, you know, do you support tariffs that are going to increase the cost of prices? So that's what he's referring to. And the funny thing about the autopsy is this.

Donald Trump's Republican Party is exactly what the so-called autopsy of 2012 called for the party to become. And yet the very people who commissioned, the very politicos who commissioned it, the very donors who paid for it, they're the ones who are making the biggest, they pose the biggest threat to Donald Trump's White House, his coalition, and the ultimate success of the policy agenda. And I find that

...to be very ironic, whatever you want to call it... ...and I have for many years. This is the party the autopsy said they wanted. This is the party the autopsy claimed they needed to get... ...in order to survive as a national political force. They got younger people. They got more black voters. They got more Hispanic voters. They are the party of the rising demographics...

And that is amazing since, you know, once upon a time we were all obsessing over a book called The Emerging Democratic Majority, which argued that demographics were destiny and that Democrats would be the ascendant party and there was nothing Republicans could do about it. Now, of course, I always thought was faulty because this is something Republicans need to remember right now.

Demographics or destiny is a flawed theory because political coalitions, the only thing they're consistent with, Jack, is that they consistently evolve. And the policy that parties support, I believe in rational policy choice, the policies that parties support, they back and they advance absolutely.

Absolutely. And that's how you keep the coalition together. Rich Barris, the People's Pundit. Please go follow him. People's Pundit dot locals dot com. The big data poll. I am Jack Posobiec. Ladies and gentlemen, as always, you have my permission to lay a short.
