Speaker 1 (00:00):
Anything, But she's liked by so many people, especially people
in the military and law enforcement.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
She has a little bit of editors.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
You mentioned partnering him or he still and what would.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
You No, I don't talk to about it right now.
I just people feel very differently. Some people think he
should be partner and some people think it would be
a terrible thing to do. But I don't get involved
in that disrespect. I have great respect for Rupert Burnoch.
I disagree with him a lot of times with the
(00:35):
Wall Street Journal, but we've disagreed before. But and I'm
sure they didn't have any idea what they were talking about,
because already you see what's happening. Look at look at Columbia.
Look at what happened with that. Everybody said that with
Columbia it was going to be a disaster. In one
in one hour, everything was settled. You know why tariffs tariffs.
(01:01):
Without tariffs, they wouldn't have been the same way. They
would would not have treated me the way they treated me,
which was extremely nicely. And I don't want to use countries,
I don't want to use names, but tariffs are very powerful,
both economically and in getting everything else you want. Tariff
for us. Nobody can compete with us because we're a
(01:23):
pot of gold.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
But if we.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Don't keep winning and keep doing well, we won't be
the pot of gold, and then tariffs won't be so
good for us. But when you're the pot of gold,
the tariffs are. The tariffs are very good. They're very powerful,
and they're gonna make our country very rich again. Thank
you very much, everybody.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
I don't know, I don't know. How is the market
do it?
Speaker 1 (01:52):
I don't know. I don't think about it.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Thank you, Thank you very much. Thank you.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
All right, So, ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition
of Human Events Daily. Here Washington, d C. Today's February third,
twenty five, and no Dominie President. They're just giving a
complete round robin press conference inside the Oval Office, singing
those executive orders and look you're president there. He's willing
(02:37):
to say what needs to be said. Elsie Gabbart or boom,
she's going to be getting in at d N. I
ashtel boom going over to the FBI, and he said,
what I can have to straighten them out? You know,
just going to have to straighten them out, because you
see boys and girls the problem. Now, the problem now
that we have with the FBI is they are not
(02:58):
acting in the sense of greatness. Now, they're really not. No,
and we're going to have to make them great again.
And that's what President Trump said there, and of course
he's in the process of doing so through the Acting
Attorney General. And this is the case. And by the way,
they have until three pm. Cities, you've got one more hour.
(03:20):
You got one more hour. FBI, you got one more hour.
Because there's no options, there's no more idence. File your
answers to your questionnaire and come back. And by the way,
now hear all this news about them going after the
DOJE employees and overall, Scott, I'm getting some reports already
on this. We're gonna be digging into this a little
(03:42):
bit more. But I'm hearing reports of Bush employees being docked,
of their addresses going up, of their family's addresses going up.
Guess what, that's a crime, all right, that is a crime.
That is criminal behavior. And if anyone tries swatting or
anything like that, I guess now you're threatening government officials.
(04:06):
So we're gonna look into all this. Of course, U
s A. I D huge protests going on over there. Huge.
Actually I should say maybe maybe it's it's sable. It's
a sizeable protest.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
That a huge protest.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
It's sizeable. But they're going after Elon Musk there as
well as Doge. We've got a lot going on today.
Sustained Human Events Daily will continue.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Huge, huge, huge.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
This is what happens when the fourth Turning meets fifth
generation warfare.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
A commentator, international social media sensation and former Navy intelligence better.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
And this is Human Events with your host Jack Posovic.
Speaker 6 (05:22):
Christ is King.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
All right, this is Jack Sobek. You are listening to
Human Events Daily. Wanted to welcome the Salem News audience.
It's an honor to be here. We go now live
to jd Vance where he's taking questions in East Palestine.
Speaker 6 (05:42):
Well, I do think that we continue to need to
do better at raal safety in this country. And I
even talked to the fire chief a little bit. He's
got strong views about ral safety. Probably how we can
make the bill a little bit better, but also how
we can make sure that common sense rail safety makes
its way into our public loss. Henry good question question
of yesterday that there could be some pay associated.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
With and we're back. So JD. Vance. They are working
(06:37):
on getting that feed back up. Of course, he's out
East Palestine today the two year anniversary of the Norfolk
Southern train crash, the derailment that took place out there,
and the chemicals that went out into the atmosphere, went
out into the town, went into the water, went into
the rivers. And so the questions, of course, was why
(07:01):
was it that at the time you had people like
Governor Josh Shapiro, like Governor de Wine like they weren't
even interested, weren't even interested in the interests of the townsfolk,
the interests of the people. And that was the day
the JD. Vans himself flew from Washington, DC. It'd only
been Senator for about one month at that point.
Speaker 7 (07:21):
With the people here, I think the second thing that
we think about the background, and we certainly only been
senator for about one month, and he flies out to
East Palestine and says something here is not right.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
They are lying to us, and we need to do
something about that. All right, I told we have JD.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Back.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Let's go to that now.
Speaker 6 (07:42):
The long term air tist set testing, the long term
health testing, and that's something that we're going to fight
to make sure that we do over the next few
years of this administration, because again, to rebuild this community.
And I think it's look, I think it's a beautiful place.
It's got great workers, it's got incredible natural landscape, it's
got great people. But people have to be confident that
(08:02):
they can invest in a business here, that they can
build a business here, that they can raise a family here.
That's going to take the long term commitment I think
of the Environmental Protection Agency, but of the whole administration.
And that's certainly something that people here should expect, and
they'll have.
Speaker 8 (08:16):
Speaking with residents here with past fears, one of the
things that they tell us in.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
The zation is that they want a federal disaster declaration
so that.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Federal funds would come in so that they can get
Medicare and they can get long term health monitoring. I
know the previous governor, the governor has disasters.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
You when I spoke with you last year, you.
Speaker 6 (08:35):
Asked President Biden's discience, will the Trump administration to declare
a disaster here so people forget these resources they need.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (08:44):
So the long term health monitoring, by the way, is
something that we're very focused on and I'm personally very
focused on. It's something that my Senate office worked a
great deal on and frankly was very disappointed that the
Biden administration wasn't willing to meet us halfway there. We're
going to do a lot there, and I think there's
a lot that could be done on the disaster declaration.
It's an interesting question because a disaster declaration may have
(09:05):
been very helpful eighteen months ago. I don't know that
it's still helpful today. And so what I'm going to
do is I'm going to ask the governor behind me.
I'm going to talk to Lee about this, and I'm
going to say, is a disaster declaration still helpful? Because
if the answer is yes, then I'm going to take
that message back to Washington. But the answer may well
be non right because we're not in the same phase
of this thing now that we were two years ago.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Thank God for that. We're going to do right by
the community.
Speaker 6 (09:28):
That answer may not be the same as it was
eighteen months ago, but we're still going to work at it.
Speaker 8 (09:33):
I agree.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Yeah. In talking to locals as we have the last
two of you, many of them.
Speaker 6 (09:39):
Say that they're now worse off than they were before. Yes,
they're closing their businesses, selling their businesses. What can you
tell them now in this forum that they're going to
hear at some point in the next twenty.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Four hours that leaves them thinking this is not.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Just more lip service than they have heard for the
last two of you.
Speaker 6 (10:00):
So I guess what I'd ask him is, first of all,
you're right, a lot of people in East Palestine have
dealt with unspeakable tragedy and then economic calamity on top
of that. I've talked to a lot of local businesses
just here today who have lost customers, who feel like
the bottom line is a lot worse than it was
before the disaster happened. And that's local retailers, that's oil
(10:20):
and gas businesses. But I guess what I'd ask them is,
don't give up on this community, because we're not going
to give up on this community. And it's not always
going to be easy, and I'm not going to be
able to take away the two years of economic pain
that have been caused.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
By this train disaster.
Speaker 6 (10:34):
But you do now have a government that cares about you,
that's going to work on these problems and isn't going
to snap its fingers and fix everything, because that's not
how any of this works. But is going to fight
every single day to make sure you get the infrastructure,
the redevelopment, aid, and certainly the health and environmentally that
you need to get back on your feet. I really
do believe that if we work this the right way,
(10:54):
that the federal government, the state government, the EPA administrator,
and the people on the ground are willing to work
for this community, then we're going to do better by
use palacin than we have over the last couple of years.
That's certainly my commitment to this community. Okay, John, we
talked to safety probably more than anything over the.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Last few years when you introduced it.
Speaker 9 (11:14):
If you spoke for yourself, you spoke with the constituents
of a CLI.
Speaker 6 (11:17):
We now speak with the elation. Sure does the administration.
Speaker 9 (11:20):
Stand behind the Real Safety Act as you introduced it?
Speaker 6 (11:24):
Well, John, the President endorsed the Rail Safety Act of
course when it came out, and so certainly I think
that we can say with confidence the President shares my
view that we need some common sense rail safety, and yes,
that is something that we're going to work on over
the next couple of years. It's something that I think
that we have a much better shot at frankly, with
Republicans in charge. Remember, we had the legislation, it was bipartisan,
(11:46):
we had it in a place where it would have
passed the United States Senate Chuck Schumer just refused to
bring it up to the floor for a vote. And so, yeah,
I think things are a little bit different this time,
and we're going to make sure we get this right now. Now.
Henry asked me a question about tariffs. Let me let
me say this, Henri, So I think for a couple
of look, not just a couple of years, for forty years,
(12:07):
with one very obvious exception, I think that we have
had successive administrations who have not recognized that America's economic
power is not just a source of prosperity, but is
also something that we should be willing to put to
use to make the American people safer and healthier. And unfortunately,
we have had, especially at our southern border, a southern neighbor,
(12:29):
and I think an important ally if they want to
be who has not taken their basic responsibility seriously about
securing their own border and doing basic law enforcement within
their own country. Now, what's happened what's happened is that
even in communities like East Palestine, you've seen a massive
expo explosion in the amount of deadly, poisonous fentanyl that exists.
(12:50):
In this country. We've seen the toll in orphan children
and families who have lost loved ones, and over one
hundred thousand lives per year, most of which have come
excuse one hundred thousand lives per year lost to drug overdose,
most of which have come from the fit and all problem.
Mexico has got to do a better job. And President
(13:11):
Trump's message is very simple, we are done being taken
advantage of now. Actually, I was in the air, I
talked to the President very briefly about this. He spoke
with the President of Mexico this morning, and the President
of Mexico committed to putting ten thousand additional Mexican troops
on that southern border, our southern border, of course, the
Mexican's northern border, to take law enforcement more seriously, to
(13:34):
go after those Mexican drug cartels a little bit more aggressively.
So for literally three days I heard the far left
in this country say that these tariffs would make Americans
lives worse off and What actually happened is the Mexican
government was so afraid of the tariffs that they actually
are taking their border enforcement and their anti cartel activity
(13:54):
more seriously. That is not a pathway to making Americans
worse off. That's a pathway to making America better off.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Now.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
The President has also been very clear that we have
to rebalance our trade relationship in this country, every single country,
if you look even our northern neighbors, Canada, due to
do Americans realize that the Canadians charge massive, massive tariffs
on our products that go into the country of Canada,
including on our great agricultural products that people right here
(14:24):
in the state of Ohio depend on. Well, if the
Canadians are going to use their economic power to penalize Americans,
I think it's totally reasonable for the American President to
say we're done being taken advantage of. We of course
want to have a great relationship with Canada, but that
goes both directions, and that's all his conduct and his
activity of the last few days was about We're done
(14:46):
being taken advantage of in this country. We have got
to rebalance the trade relationship between ourselves and our allies,
ourselves and our adversarias President Trump is committed to that,
and tariffs is one tool that he's going to use
to accomplish it.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Listening talking to folks today and over the last few years,
the biggest thing they heard is they don't want this
to happen in another community. What are some of those
action items you heard talking to the folks during your
visit today you can take back to DC kind of
all right, let's hit the ground running on these things.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Yeah, So it's interesting most.
Speaker 6 (15:15):
Of what I heard today was actually concerns about economic development. Okay,
but of course I've been to East Palestine. This is
my i think fifth or sixth visit. I've heard a
lot about the concerns related to rail safety, and I
think there are a few very basic, common sense things
that can be done. And look, some of this the
railways are already doing. But some of this, I truly
believe is going to have to happen through things like
the Railway Safety.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Act Number One.
Speaker 6 (15:36):
You've got to inspect these cars more before they go off.
You've got to better use technology to monitor when a
train is about to have a catastrophic failure. These are
all things that were sort of built into the infrastructure
of the Railway Safety Act and it's something we're going
to keep on working on. Look, this can't happen again.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
As much as I believe.
Speaker 6 (15:54):
In East Palestine and I really do believe in this
community and it's people, what they're rebuilding through shouldn't happen.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Stop buzzing in my ear about the boring people at
your office.
Speaker 7 (16:04):
I'm trying to listen to the new Human Events with
Jack Pozovic.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
All right, Jack Prostovic, we are back here. Human Events
daily is to continue with Jadie Vancy of Palestine that they.
Speaker 6 (16:20):
Can raise a family in health and safety here in
this community.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Now, I believe that's true.
Speaker 6 (16:26):
But the only way that other people are going to
believe that's true is if folks like Lee Zelden at
the e p A and the broader administration take those
health and safety concerns seriously. I promise the people of
East Palestine we are taking those concerns seriously, and we
will do so for the remainder of President Trump's administration.
God bless you guys. Thank you for being.
Speaker 9 (16:44):
Here, all of them, all.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
The ones that we just there, Yeah, that one.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
There we go, thank you, all right, So that was
jd Vance there East Palestine, really and you can see
him there. He's he's walking meeting with the people, he's
with the mayor. We remember, of course, when President Trump
visited back two years ago. This really was a turning point,
(17:26):
and I want to say President Trump's twenty twenty four election,
even though of course it took place in twenty twenty three.
This was just a huge turning point in the Biden
administration where so many people across the spectrum, across the
aisle were just upset. They were incensed that the Biden
administration and Josha Pierre of the Wine would allow this
(17:48):
huge explosion gassie as chemicals out into the public, that
they weren't doing anything for these people. Of course, it
exploded across social media as well, and at least in
terms of the aftermath, and so many people asking questions
about the health, about the safety, about what was going
on there. There were so many problems and people really
(18:10):
wanting to do something about it, and that really set
the tone for the new Trump administration, this idea that
it isn't going to be business as usual, it's going
to be full on nationalist populism, and that's exactly where
he came down, and that's exactly what you're seeing now.
Whether it be Panama, whether it be these tariffs, Canada, Mexico,
(18:33):
whether Greenland, whether it be the rest of it, it's
what benefits the American people first. And now I wanted
to talk communications a little bit because there was big
news that just popped over at the FCC that a
huge and semaphores got the piece. A large critic of
(18:55):
big tech is taking a top legal position at a
key agency that could target Google, Meta and their rivals.
Oh sorry, zucker Berg, Oh I don't know about that,
because you've got Adam Kandob, an architect of one efforts
to revoke legal protections for social media, is now going
to be General Counsel of the CC. Well, here joining
(19:20):
us to talk about all of this and more is
Alan Bacari. He is the managing director at the Foundation
for Freedom Online. Alam, how's it going.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Man, how's it going? Jack Gay to be on your show.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
So talk to me about some of the things that
you guys are working on over at the Foundation for Freedom.
Everybody knows, of course Mike Ben's over there. People know
your background well by the way, leaking the Google video
back in twenty sixteen saying that we're never going.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
To let Donald Trump win again.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
This will never happen again. Well, I guess they screw
it up because he's back, baby, Alan. What are we
seeing when it comes to the FCC front, when it
comes to regulatory front from the new administration, Well.
Speaker 8 (20:03):
The FCC front is going great. Franklin, you just mentioned
the appointment of Professor candaeb he is. That's a fantastic
choice in my view. He was one of the big
heroes of the first Trump administration in terms of attempting
to push back on tech censorship. He did a lot
of work in that first Trump administration. I've known it
(20:24):
for a long time. He will be a warrior against
online censorship and broad broadly speaking, the news has been
very good the FCC. The new chairman, Brendan Carr also
fantastic on the censorship issue. The FDC Chairman Andrew Ferguson
also places a high priority on that issue, which is
very important considering the amount of oversight the FDC has
(20:47):
the over the private sector, and you know, the advertising
sector in particular, which has been such a you know,
force of collusion in the past waging a boycotts against
X and all other platforms. There is one one concerning
trend I see. And you know, I hate to be
the bearer of bad news because there's been so many
wins lately, just win after the winner of the winner,
(21:09):
they keep coming. I've spotted one concerning trend. We published
a big report about it at the Foundation of Freedom Online,
and that is the strange ascendancy of Microsoft in Washington,
DC under Trump. A very strange sentency because Microsoft, as
you'll see from our report, was one of the absolute
(21:29):
worst offenders when it came to censorship in the last
eight years, and unlike Facebook and X they haven't really
walked back any of it as far as I can sell.
And yet you've got open Ai getting this five hundred
five hundred billion AI investment deal that was you know,
(21:52):
announced by the President.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
You've got Microsoft in the running to acquire.
Speaker 8 (21:57):
TikTok, which would you know, give them enormous inflame went
over the US media ecosystem. And now see today open
Ai launched something called chat gpt Government, which is a
chat GPT agent specifically built for government agency. So they're
trying to get some of those contracts and you know
why is this concerning. It's concerning because Microsoft has, as
(22:19):
I said, has not walked back any of their censorship programs.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
So there's one example. They're still partnered with NewsGuard.
Speaker 8 (22:26):
NewsGuard is a private company that exists to build blacklists
of disfavored media sources, which it then sells.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
That's exactly right, Alan, We're coming up on a quick break,
but I want to hold you over because we need
to dig deeper into this and we'll have much longer
time to when we come back. Human Events Daily, Alan McCary, Foundations,
Freedom Online Breakback.
Speaker 10 (23:19):
Welcome back to this Real America's Voice news break.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
I'm Terrence Bates.
Speaker 10 (23:23):
Let's take you right back to East Palestine, Ohio, where
Vice President JD. Vance just wrapped up remarks moments ago.
Our Bin berkeram on the ground there with the very
latest ben The long and short of it seemed to be,
we're going to study the ongoing situation here in East
Palestine and we'll see what we can do.
Speaker 11 (23:43):
Yeah, that's really it. I mean, there is just an
overwhelming sense that an understanding that the community was done
wrong and that this new administration that President Trump Jadie Vance,
this is a high priority. And you heard Lee Zelden say,
you know, this is the highest priority. So the new
director of the EPA, this is his highest priority. And
(24:03):
I think that you know, again, it's not necessarily concrete,
tangible things that anyone can take home with them other
than you know, Vice President Vance did talk about specific
things that they're going to hold Norfolk Southern to things
that they had promised they would do that they hadn't
done yet in speaking about the fire safety training that
they were offering here and as well as money directly
(24:24):
come into the community. So I think in the end
that's really it is just putting this as a high
priority when the previous administration simply ignored this community.
Speaker 10 (24:35):
And big big picture here. The fact that Vice President
Vance showed up that in and of itself was a
victory for that community.
Speaker 11 (24:44):
Yeah, and he's been showing up from the beginning. You know,
we played some of the video from earlier. He was
one of the first people here testing the water, stirring
that rainbow sludge that we saw. You know, we were here,
our network was here, but Jad was here as a
senator from the very beginning. And to the people here,
it means a lot to them that he hasn't forgotten
he's coming here, and to set it the second week
(25:04):
in office, to set this as one of their top priorities,
it means a lot to this community.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Absolutely.
Speaker 10 (25:10):
Ben berkem reporting for us on the ground there in
East Palestine where Vice President JD. Vance just wrapped up remarks.
He also brought the EPA, the new EPA administrator with him,
as well as the new senator there in Ohio, Bernie Moreno.
So we'll of course continue to cover this for you
throughout the day, but now let's get you back to
your regularly scheduled programming.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
And Jack, where's Jack?
Speaker 4 (25:42):

Alan Bacari. We're talking about President Trump is making these
new moves and Brandon Carr is doking these huge new
moves over at the FCC. They're targeting not just Facebook,
not just Meta, but also something in their cross heres
(27:29):
and should be more in their crosshairs is Facebook with
a huge new report from the FFO. ALAM So talk
to us, what about what exactly you found when you
were digging into Microsoft and their background and their dealings
in this censorship It.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Goes very very deep.
Speaker 8 (27:49):
Microsoft mentioned earlier the partnership with NewsGuard, a professional censorship company.
They've also made a point of hiring almost every bad
actor from the government side of the censorship industrial complex.
You might remember something called Hamilton sixty eight. Hamilton sixty
eight was this dashboard developed by government funded nonprofits that
(28:13):
in twenty seventeen or twenty eighteen, I believe, sold it
cell detech companies as something that could track down Russian
agents and the spreaders of Russian influence on social media.
And they developed huge lists of Twitter users and other
social media users that they claimed were Russian agents. Turns
out they were all American users, American conservatives, American Trump
(28:34):
supporters that are being falsely labeled Russian agents. This is
one of the things that came out during the twitterphiles.
The guy who built that dashboard, a former FBI counterintelligence
official called Clint Watts, was later hired by Microsoft.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
You know, that's just one example.
Speaker 8 (28:51):
You know, another Microsoft board member, Reed Hoffman, who you know,
notorious Trumpeter who funded a very simil thing in the
Alabama run off election in twenty seventeen, where you know,
these fake accounts were created to create the impression of
a Russian intelligence operation that could then be used to
(29:11):
justify the social media censorship of Americans. He's a board
member at Microsoft. They also funded the Center for in
the Form Public at the University of Washington, one of
the four members of the Election Integrity Partnership, that notorious
collection of organizations which was hatched in DHS, hatched by
(29:32):
the government, and you know, played a massive, massive role
in censoring the twenty twenty election. Millions of posts were
censored as a result of that group's efforts. They were
funded by Microsoft. And you know, it would be one thing,
I mean, it would be one thing if Microsoft we
was scaling back on all of this, but they're not.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
They're still partnered with NewsGuard.
Speaker 8 (29:52):
And they've shown no indication that they're scaling back on
any of this. And yet they still seem to be
in favor in Washington. They still seem to be getting
getting favors. And I hope that many of the people
who are now being appointed who have a great history
of monitoring big tech censorship and being real warriors in
(30:16):
the fight against big tech censorship. Will will read this
report and take a look at some of these things,
because in some cases it's actually getting worse, you know.
Just one example, Activision Blizzard, which is a massive video
games company owned by Microsoft, sent out a memo in
their internal discord server saying they're not gonna roll back
(30:37):
DEI initiatives. In fact, they're going to double down on them.
Another example, Open Ai just launched a tool called Operator,
which is an AI agent that can sort of run
your computer and do online searches for you. Only four
news sources are used by Operator currently the Atlantic, Axios,
AP and Reuter. Is not a single conservative news source
(30:58):
as part of them. And we've seen hugh political bias
from OpenAI in the past as well. So you know,
the question I'd asked if Microsoft is are they going
to keep all these censorship programs that you know that
censored Americans and censored Trump supporters non stuff, are going
to keep their relationship with the NewsGuard That's the biggest
thing in my book, while still expecting to be in
(31:20):
favor in Washington.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
That's like a very snarge set of events.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Now where can people go to get a direct copy
of this report so they can read it for themselves
and get all of these details.
Speaker 8 (31:31):
Of course, So it's at the Foundation for Freedom Online
dot com. And the piece is called how Microsoft helped
build the Censorship Industry, A very very important piece.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
Go check it out if you can.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
Now, I think you absolutely should. And of course you
and Mike Ben's are doing really the yeomen's work over there.
Of course, Ben's really coming down hard on us AID.
By the way, there's a protest going on in front
of USAID that's happening right now. Apparently ill hunt Omar
is out there, Jamie Raskin'. They're you know, saying no
(32:05):
to DOGE and it's I mean, it's just one of
the most wonderful things I've ever seen. All of the
worst people are completely activated.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
But this is.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
Something that I think we all should focus on because look,
I think that I think that elon buying X has
led to a sort of general uh D emphasis on
the censorship question. So a D emphasis on wanting to
fight back against censorship, and certainly a de emphasis on
(32:36):
having the government come in and actually put some controls
on social media like a for example, an Internet Bill
of Rights for the user, or questions about who controls
your data when it comes to on online your online activity,
who controls that online footprint, And that's something that, by
the way, the FCC should be looking into. So let
(32:59):
me ask you this, do you think that that's something
that these latest moves from hiring the professor to be
general counsel, to have Brendan Carr over there as well,
who's been a huge advocate for this, do you think
that there's action that the FCC can and should still
take on the censorship front.
Speaker 8 (33:16):
I think there certainly is not just the FCC, but
also the FTC when it comes to collusive behaviors like
advertising agencies getting together and boycotting social media platform because
they don't because they're opposed to what American social media
users are saying when they act in concert as an industry,
that is very anti competitive behavior, which is right in
(33:38):
the FDC's jurisdiction.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
I think the FC, the FCC can also do a lot.
Speaker 8 (33:43):
Here because you know, there have been regulations in the
past that you know, made companies. For example, under the
Obama administration, actually there was net neutrality, which made Internet
service providers common carriers, and that's su that that subjects
of all sorts of requirements about what they can and
cannot carry.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
So I think there's a lot of there's a lot
of area where the SEC.
Speaker 8 (34:05):
Can provide scrutiny.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
And I think I think, like the thing about you
mentioned Elon.
Speaker 8 (34:13):
Must taking over X and how that sort of ushered
in a new era of free speech on social media.
It would be one thing if you know, coming back
to Microsoft, it it'd be one thing if they scaled
back their censorship programs. So Mark Zuckerberg, you know, do
I necessarily believe he's completely sincere in you know, the
changes in his political opinions over the past six months
(34:35):
or so. Not necessarily. I think he's a very pragmatic guy.
But Facebook has made some real changes. It's you know,
scaled back some of his content moderation policies. Zuckerberg's even
gone on Joe Rogan and talked about in you know,
pretty pretty a fair amount of detail about how the
government pressured Facebook to censor and how Biden officials would
(34:56):
call up Facebook officials and yell at them and get
them to sensor content. So they've actually taken concrete steps
to you know, stake out a position against censorship. Microsoft
has done none of that, and yet there's still in
the ascendancy in Washington, which is interesting to see.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
No, I think that's right. And look, there's there's huge
questions when it comes to what should be done for
the user online. By the way, you know that Internet
Bill of Rights, when we talk about the data of
every individual that currently is just being sold on the market,
you know, why not allow people to at least get
a piece of that. So hey, if you want your
(35:35):
data sold, Hey, this is how much I'm willing to
you know, I'm willing to pay for it or willing
to willing to sell it for and you've got to
pay for it or something like that. I mean, there's
there's this whole question of our relationship with big media,
with big tech, with all of these platforms, they're getting,
of course, fabulously wealthy. By the same token, they're using
(35:58):
these as large language models to train their various AI.
We already know that's how rock works, so it just
kind of makes sense. But I do think that what
President Trump has given us is ability to just press
reset on all of these various questions and allow people
to step back and say, you know what, this is
what we want our government doing. These are things that
(36:18):
actually directly directly affect us and directly affect our lives.
And no, we're not so focused on these forever wars
and things that are going on all over the world. No,
let's actually do something that affects us, that affects our families,
affects our children.
Speaker 8 (36:36):
Well, you know what worries me about the tech companies.
I know some of them. Have you gotten better in
the past few years, largely thanks to the trend that
must start it, But Americans still have no recourse under
the law if their account gets taken away. Tech companies
can still destroy someone's livelihood, destroy their public platform, and
you have no recourse. No other business could do that,
(36:57):
Like if you get kicked out of a physical property
on spurious reasons. Say, if you own a business and
your landlord kicks you up to spurious reasons, you can
take them to court and say, hey, they kick me
out for dodgy reasons. You can't do if you're if
you're on a social media platform and your entire businesses
base there, you don't have similar protections under the law.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
So you know, there's no there's no protections under the law.
Speaker 8 (37:18):
For American social media uses or any social media users
really against you know, arbitrary deplatforming on the one hand,
or as you said, data collection, they have no protections
over how their data is used either, and I think
that is that is still concerning, and that is something
that Adam Candea, who you mentioned, worked on in the.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
First Trump administration.
Speaker 8 (37:39):
So I'm looking forward to him working on similar things
now at the FCC. And I think Brendan Carr, you know,
considers this to be his top priority as well.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
So you know, it's looking good for the future.
Speaker 8 (37:50):
I think when it comes to Internet freedom.
Speaker 3 (37:53):
Everything is looking up. The Golden Age has done. Albacarie,
what could be?
Speaker 8 (37:58):
Follow you, brother, You can follow me on Twitter at
Alan Bacari, and you can find all our deep dive
reports on.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
Censorship at Microsoft.
Speaker 8 (38:08):
And at other places out of USAID and in fact
at the Foundation of Freedom Online dot com.
Speaker 3 (38:15):
Make sure you go there, you're reading everything, following everything,
study up because we've got a lot of fights ahead
and we've got more human events ahead.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
Right in the brain.
Speaker 5 (38:48):
Jack is a great guy.
Speaker 4 (38:49):
He's ritten that.
Speaker 3 (38:50):
Fantastic look and everybody's talking about it.
Speaker 6 (38:52):
Go get it.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
And he's been my friend right from the beginning of
this whole beautiful event. And we're going to turn around
and make our gout.
Speaker 3 (38:59):
You like to get a new payment, All right, Jack Pisovic,
we are back Human Events Daily Live, Washington, DC. Folks,
what we're seeing right now is nothing short of a
new start for your government. It's like seventeen seventy six
(39:22):
two point zero, a second American Revolution, And we are,
through the grace of God, able to view this through
our own eyes, happening right now in real time, whether
it's in our cities, whether it's in our homes, our workplaces,
including the federal workplaces. And we're going to talk about
(39:44):
that in just a quick second, because federal workers really
don't seem to like the fact that they are going
to be asked to work on behalf of the American people,
possibly for the very first time in their lives.
Speaker 2 (40:02):
Right.
Speaker 3 (40:02):
I want to take a quick second here. We're going
to bring radio in because this needs to be heard.
When I'm working long hours, I'm always listening to Human
Events with Jack Posobic. All right, Jack Prosopick, we are
back up, by the way, to the Salem audience, I
want to say, welcome to Human Events Daily. It's an
absolute honor to be here. By the way, it used
(40:23):
to be a huge Bill Bennett listener back in the day. Yeah,
that's right back on nine to ninety am in the
Philadelphia market. That's where I'm from. And just an incredible
honor again to be on the network. But at the
same time, there's a lot of work to do, because
if you go and look over at there's this page
(40:44):
on Reddit called reddit fed news, so our slash fed news,
and these workers over there, they're incensed. They are posting
on Reddit, typically during work hours, i might add, and
talking about how they want to subvert President Trump and
particularly subvert Elon Musk and go after him. In fact,
(41:08):
so much so that some of these types, even going
on Blue Sky, are actually targeting through the actual names, addresses,
and photos of individuals who are working for DOGE. They
are going after them. They're going after their families, they
are going after their homes, and they are trying to
(41:30):
actually intimidate them to the point where they quit, to
the point where they're harassed, to the point where they
feel as though something is terrible could happen to them.
But something that we also need to point out, there's
this one post. And by the way, when you know
(41:51):
full disclosure, caveat, caveat all that stuff. We don't know
for sure exactly who is posting these things, but in
many accounts you can see that these guys have been
up there for a long time. So if they've been
up there for a long time posting about working in
the government, then it stands the reason that these aren't
some kind of trolls. This isn't just a you know,
some type of performance piece that it's actually felt that
(42:15):
it's actually going on. And the FBI. The FBI, by
the way, if you are at the FBI right now
and you haven't filled out your questionnaire yet regarding your
involvement in the JA six prosecutions, you need to be
going after the people that are targeting and harassing Doge.
You need to be going after them. How about you
(42:35):
actually show that you want to do something for the
American people, something that you should be doing, something you
should have been doing all along, going after actual criminals.
I don't I don't recall anyone from J six doing
things like that, but now we're seeing a look at
this and it's going up. Federal workers actively stating that
they're declaring war on the Trump admin from within the government.
(42:58):
And this is the post I'm going to I'm actually
going to read this. So this isn't my words. This
is the words of this post to my fellow Feds
especialty veterans. We're at war. We watched this goon try
to overthrow the government on live TV four years ago.
Now we're witnessing him try to overthrow it from within.
(43:19):
We are the last line of defense against fascism. If
we leave, we'll be replaced by loyalists. Read Project twenty
twenty five, and for the love of God, please believe
what is written, because that is what is happening. All
the eos are directly from that document. Oh my gosh,
(43:40):
listen to this. We are being led by the same
types of people our grandparents fought against in World War Two?
Are you seeing this? Are seeing this, folks? This is
the type of person. And I've been there. I was
an intelligence officer inside the United States government. I was
(44:00):
in the US Navy. I worked in Navy intelligence. I'm
telling you, these are exactly the types of people that
you would find, especially in Washington, DC. Listen to this.
Speaker 2 (44:12):
I don't know what.
Speaker 3 (44:13):
The this is so dramatic. This is the theater kids, right.
I don't know future holds, but I refuse to bow
down to this fascist, authoritarian elite class, knowing is coming
to save us, but we have to hold the line.
Let me tell you something right now, the theater kids
are being thrown out of government at long last. The
(44:34):
theater Kids are done. Exit stage right, Exit stage right.
To every last one of you, why don't you put
your names on there? Why don't you actually have the
gall to go ahead, go ahead and put your name
to it, because you know something. IP addresses are trackable,
(44:56):
especially if you're posting this on the same computer that
use for your remote work. You guys really didn't think
this one through, did you. No, you didn't. But at
the same time, you never do. You never do, and
that has always been and will always be your fatal flaw.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is Human Events Daily again. Huge
(45:18):
Welcome to the Salem audience. It's an honor to be here,
and I'm glad and truly thrilled to be with you
and hope that we'll be able to continue this for
a long long time. Ladies and gentlemen, As always you
have my permission to Lady se
