Why would I want to do that when 1:34 I want her locked up and punished in jail for what she has done? And so you know we are going to 1:42 continue to stomp on this campaign trail all across the state from the panhandle to the keys 1:47 and we're looking forward to them calling me senator on November 3rd. You know we're both 1:51 Christians and the Bible is silent on the issue of abortion. It means you and I both 1:56 have to look at different scriptures to try to come to a conclusion. 2:01 I thought that the Bible is not silent on abortion. 2:03 There is the Ten Commandments that should not kill, and as Catholics, we take great insult. 2:09 I guess sometimes it was just found out that way. 2:11 New details about the investigation into Democratic Congresswoman Ilan Omar of Minnesota, sources 2:17 are telling News Nation that investigators did seize her phone during a raid on her 2:21 DC home on Monday. 2:23 and at least 15 subpoenas have been issued, including to some of her relatives. 2:28 However, a subpoena doesn't mean somebody is accused of a crime and several 2:31 reports suggest investigators could be building a case to strip Omar of her 2:36 citizenship. President Joe Biden's Justice Department collected information 2:40 on at least 639,000 Republican voters, donors and supporters. The 2:46 information, including employment records, physical addresses, credit card 2:52 numbers and even people who purchased red MAGA hats and Trump memorabilia. 2:57 Chuck Grassley saying the new findings quote further cooperate that Jack Smith and his 3:02 partisan team aimed to map out the entire Republican Party apparatus. 3:07 You begin with the midterm elections and new economic figures that challenge President 3:11 Trump's campaign message on the economy. 3:13 The president rallied for Republican candidates in Arizona and Montana after we learned 3:18 prices rose nearly 4 percent in September compared to a year ago. 3:22 Polls show the economy and the cost of living are voters number one issue this 3:26 fall. The Treasury Department now slapping a massive 1.2 billion dollar 3:30 fine on Bank of America for allegedly violating anti-money laundering and 3:35 sanctions laws. Federal officials say the bank failed to flag years of 3:39 suspicious financial activity including transactions that raised serious 3:43 national security concerns. This morning the Pope is recovering in the 3:48 hospital after undergoing a surgery to remove a cancerous mass in his lung. 3:52 That's been saying doctors removed the lower lobe of Pope Leo's right lung during a minimally 3:57 invasive surgery at Rome's Jamele Hospital. 4:00 An examination of the tissue confirmed lung adenocarcinoma. 4:03 Initial reports suggesting the cancer was caught early. 4:07 And police officers deaths in the line of duty have reached an 80 year low. 4:12 That's so good. 4:13 And we're bringing the death penalty back for anybody that kills a police officer 4:17 by the way, or anybody in law enforcement. 4:22 And I will tell you the drugs coming in. 4:26 We have some breaking news. 4:27 A moment ago, President Trump providing an update 4:30 on the execution of Nidal Malik Hassan. 4:34 That was a guy who killed 13 people 4:35 in the Fort Hood shooting. 4:37 Now, President Trump says it will no longer be livestreamed, 4:40 posting on true social this. 4:42 I think streaming the execution for all to see 4:44 might have been a strong deterrent 4:46 for the world to witness 4:47 how America deals with terrorists and scum like Hassan but many very good and 4:53 well-meaning people would rather not watch him die through streaming or through 4:57 any other visual device. He will die as scheduled by firing squad but this 5:03 event will not be streamed. That said the execution may be viewed in person 5:08 by the immediate families of the victims if they so choose they deserve 5:13 to witness justice, so that news just out from President Trump. 5:17 That we do in fact see a 2026 Senate map if the polls underestimate Republicans by two 5:23 to four points. 5:24 Well, remember all that blue that was on the map before? 5:27 All that blue went, bye-bye, see you later, Adios amigos, Sayonara, those Democratic 5:34 chances and those Democratic hopes down there into Lake Erie. 5:38 Look at this. 5:39 Now, what we're dealing with, if in fact the polls underestimate the Republicans, is 5:44 53 Republican Senate seats compared to 47 Republican seats. 5:49 Maine, that stays red. 5:51 How about a flip in Michigan, where Abdul S. I. Ed, very neck and neck in the polls 5:55 with Mike Rogers, Ohio stays red, Iowa stays red, Alaska stays red. 6:01 Now, I will note, I will note that even in this scenario, right, you still get 6:07 a situation where North Carolina stays blue, and Georgia stays blue. But Texas goes red, 6:15 CLA or Chem Paxton gets elected to the United States Senate, no James Tallarico. So a very clear 6:20 Republican win in the Senate if the polls are underestimating the Republicans, like perhaps 6:25 they did in 2020, like they did in 2016, so on, so forth. And on the House side, what about 6:31 this? On the House side, by the way, getting a little schvitzier, I think I'm gonna have to 6:35 have a drink in a second. 6:36 If the polls undershot the Republicans 6:38 by greater than three points, well, that's all you need. 6:41 That's all you need for Republicans 6:43 in order for them to actually probably hold on 6:46 to the US House of Representatives. 6:48 They would likely win 218 plus House seats. 6:52 And keep in mind, this polling error 6:54 absolutely has happened before. 6:56 Therefore, when we talk about the race 6:58 being within the margin of error, 6:59 the House of Representatives, even 7:00 if Democrats are favorite, it is still 7:02 within the margin of error that Republicans can win if we see polling misses like we have before. 7:09 Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily. We're here live 7:13 in Washington, D.C. Today is, of course, October 15th, 2026, Anno Domine. Today we had the honor 7:21 of sitting down with the new White House press secretary, Katie Zachariah. And we just pre-taped 7:29 that interview with her over at the White House. 7:33 And it was an incredible moment to be able to go in there. 7:36 Obviously a lot of transitions happening at the White House. 7:39 A lot of time looking at our country 7:42 where we're three weeks out of time in our country 7:44 where we're three weeks out from a midterm election, 7:48 a key crucial midterm election, 7:51 where there are a lot of questions 7:52 about how Republicans will make out in that. 7:56 And of course, Katie Zachariah, 7:59 now joining the White House in a White House that is moving full speed. 8:05 And this was something where today it worked out on, what can I say, folks, it worked out 8:10 schedule-wise for us here at Human Events, because we know the president is bringing 8:14 the press secretary everywhere he goes. 8:16 His schedule is, of course, nonstop. 8:19 He was in, and immediately after appointing Katie Zachariah, they took off for Alaska, 8:26 then over to Arizona, Montana. 8:28 I believe he has new rallies coming up later this week. 8:33 They're looking at Kentucky. 8:34 They're looking at another number 8:35 of different places out there. 8:38 And so this is the thick of things for the midterms. 8:42 And of course, us here on the program, 8:44 we've been going around quite a bit as well. 8:47 We went to Texas with the vice president. 8:49 We then also went to San Diego 8:52 with the secretary of work, Pete Hegsath. 8:54 And so for the sit down is obviously 8:56 was an incredible honor for Real Market's voice to be able to do that, to be able to 9:02 sit down. 9:03 I just got to go over with Taylor Mitchell, who is of course our correspondent there at 9:09 the White House. 9:10 And it's a real moment for new media. 9:13 It's a real moment for independent media to be able to come in to tell people that we're 9:20 not going anywhere, that new media is here to stay, that we are in fact driving 9:26 the narrative and real America's voice is at the forefront of it and so now please 9:32 enjoy our sit-down interview with the new White House Press Secretary Katie 9:36 Zachariah. All right well we are here at the campus of the White House sitting 9:41 down with the new Press Secretary Katie Zachariah. Katie thank you so much for 9:46 joining us here on Human Events. Thank you Jack you're my first interview. 9:49 Indeed but it's not our first interview you of course been on the show 9:52 many many times congratulations on the new role. Thank you it is such a 9:56 and honor from President Trump 9:57 to come be the White House press secretary. 10:00 Jack, I've been wanting this job since I met him 10:02 and I wanted the job in 2016, 10:04 but I was having a bunch of kids. 10:06 Indeed, so that's one of the things, of course, 10:08 we wanted to ask about, walk us through the process. 10:12 People are saying as much as you can, obviously. 10:16 People were saying that it was rushed. 10:19 People were saying that it was, 10:21 there's some controversy around it. 10:22 The selection was, how does President Trump approach an appointment like this? 10:27 Well, I want to back up because originally I was getting a many, many inquiries. 10:33 When Caroline Levitt left, do you want to put your name forward? 10:37 Journalists reaching out, reporters reaching out, do you want to put your name forward 10:40 for this role? 10:40 And I said, absolutely not. 10:43 I am not lobbying for this job. 10:44 I do not want my name anywhere near a journal or any kind of news outlet. 10:51 I just don't want any press on this. Why? Because my philosophy is I'm on TV enough 10:58 where if he sees me and he likes me, then I will be recruited for the job. I do not believe that 11:04 lobbying for that job would have been successful and I wanted to work for it. I wanted to audition 11:08 for it. I think that's a much better way of encapsulating it. And so I tracked every 11:14 news hit to be in accordance with what policies he was pushing forward, particularly on true social 11:20 since I was the senior communications advisor for Trump Media and Technology Group and True Social, 11:26 where I would track what's important to President Trump and I'm going to go on the news and talk 11:31 about it. So in a sense you you were already performing the role in a capacity for True 11:36 Social because of course that's where he puts out all the statements. Yes, yes absolutely and 11:40 I wanted to, what I love doing is to give context for what he was discussing. So for instance 11:46 since we've both lived in China and he was catching flak from the media, oh, he's being 11:52 too deferential to Xi Jinping. 11:54 And I really wanted to give context for how you do business in China and why President 11:59 Trump's approach is actually the effective way to get the deal done rather than deleterious 12:04 to the deal. 12:05 And he's actually by showing deference to Xi Jinping, effectuating his ability to 12:12 get that deal rather than just cow-towing or showing paper. 12:16 Well, it's, as you know, from living in China, it's the concept of face, and he's showing 12:21 face, he's giving face, he's showing respect, they show respect back. 12:25 That's very much East Asian and China in general, that someone who is from there would 12:30 obviously know, or had spent time there, I would know that. 12:32 Yeah, and really Jack, a lot of the American people don't understand that, and so when 12:36 Xi Jinping came out to the United States and President Trump hosted him, the criticism 12:41 of pomp and circumstance was actually it's so means you just really don't understand what happens 12:47 in China and that President Trump is after a deal for the American people he has never been 12:51 he has never deviated from being America first everything he does for Americans is for Americans 12:58 and is America first including showing up and giving deference to Xi Jinping when he comes 13:03 to visit and so what I love to do is to be able to communicate that to the American people 13:08 Why is your president doing these things? 13:11 And although he's getting criticism, I'm going to come up and support him and say exactly 13:15 why his policy is right on the money. 13:17 And he is right on with his dealmaking. 13:19 And the way he's engaged all around the world, I think, is just it's so necessary to have someone 13:24 who can communicate the why, because there are many critics in the media 13:29 and many unfriendly voices that don't want to see us win. 13:33 And we need a team of people who can celebrate the wins 13:36 and explain why what he's doing is helping win for America. 13:40 So you're out there, you're doing the job for True Social. 13:44 What was the process like? 13:45 The President, I've seen reporting 13:47 that said the President called you directly. 13:50 Did you know that you were perhaps in the running? 13:53 How did that go? 13:55 I didn't know I was in the running 13:56 because again I was very specific about not lobbying 13:59 for it and I was taking my youngest son 14:04 to a pumpkin patch field trip day so he stayed home from school he's five about to turn six 14:09 and I was getting ready to go and I got a phone call and I was very excited by this phone call 14:17 from from the president and basically in short order flew out on Thursday to meet with him on 14:26 friday and accepted the job on friday and then had to fly home jack on saturday back to california 14:35 and pack up all my suitcases because i was only in dc with a carry-on bag at a hotel and 14:41 packed up two suitcases saw my kids flew home on sunday or flew back to dc on sunday and then 14:49 started the job on columbus day which is a federal holiday monday but he asked me to be 14:54 office on Monday. And Monday I showed up. 14:57 Well that's, I mean that's obviously an incredibly hectic weekend I think. So you go from Friday 15:02 at the pumpkin patch to Monday morning at the podium basically. 15:06 Well Wednesday at the pumpkin patch. Wednesday phone call, Thursday flight, Friday meeting, 15:12 Saturday flight, Sunday flight, Monday Columbus day, federal holiday start work, 15:17 wants a brief Tuesday morning and and typically Jack briefs are in the 15:24 afternoon 1 p.m. 1 30 p.m. where the press secretary has an ample amount of 15:29 time to have discussed to with all the people necessary people get all the 15:34 right information be briefed and walk out and you know this was a very 15:38 different in incoming intake I basically had the brief the briefing 15:44 materials got to me the evening on Monday because again it was a federal holiday so we got the 15:51 briefing material Monday Monday Columbus day is when I got the briefing materials and then Tuesday 15:58 morning they were completed and I woke up at three in the morning on Tuesday to prepare with 16:04 what I had but they weren't finalized until we didn't finalize everything until about 8am 16:09 and I never had a full briefing beforehand and I went out and I 16:17 effectuated the briefing. Now there were some people were asking questions I 16:21 noticed about the the length of it I also noticed that you're looking at the 16:25 president's schedule that he was flying to Alaska was that because of that 16:28 travel or were you were you planning to do you know one with a normal 16:32 length is about an hour? Yeah so knowing knowing that White House protocol is 16:37 pretty specific it was absolutely my goal to keep it short considering he is 16:43 his own best spokesperson and he would love and does love gaggling with the 16:49 media as as he goes to Marine One and so I wanted to give ample deference and 16:54 not barge into his time because you knew he was about to because I knew he was 16:58 about to so my original so the gaggle was already already planned there my 17:01 original understanding is that my briefing would be at 9 30 and by 10 17:07 at least or earlier and that there would be then a quick movement out and we would be going 17:13 you knew that he would be speaking and then the flight to Alaska yes understood yeah um want to 17:19 back up a little bit now you mentioned so you did mention about spending time in china you know 17:24 that i have as well and there's been this whole question uh wall street journal did a huge piece 17:30 about this there you know this question about of course they everyone wants to know your legal 17:34 background your legal resume I read the piece talked about how you had graduated from Pepperdine 17:40 sat for the bar didn't go your way but then instead of sitting again you went and moved to China 17:45 walk us through that whole story what's going on there yeah so I think it's important to have the 17:51 context of my husband and I had a long-distance relationship only from he lived in Beijing 17:57 China where he was already there he was already there his his act his dad introduced us to 18:02 each other. His dad was an adjunct professor at Pepperdine Law and he, do you want to meet 18:07 my son? And I met his son and his son lived in Beijing and so it was long distance while 18:12 I did law school and he was in private equity, an American private equity company in China. 18:19 I had already pre-registered to take the bar and I didn't want to withdraw from that 18:24 and we knew we would be moving out to China and I was obviously incredibly distracted 18:31 and overwhelmed and excited for finally being married to someone who had been 18:35 long-distance from for at least a year, a year and a half when you include the 18:40 engagement and we just said let's let's take this time and I'll take the bar and 18:48 let's see what happens. The results are somewhat inconsequential because I 18:52 knew I wouldn't need the bar in China and and we left for shortly thereafter 18:58 And after moving to China, I think I didn't I didn't really think much of the bar results or consider that something that I needed to focus on. 19:07 And I was offered a job at a international practice division of a Chinese law firm called Junglin Law Firm. 19:15 And the international practice were four associates under a senior partner. 19:20 And we worked the international side, the English language side, and we had a Chinese counterpart that was there. 19:26 There's no Chinese bar. 19:28 I had the enough credentials, which was my law degree, 19:31 to be able to do this practice. 19:32 And these were multi-million dollar shareholders agreements 19:35 and transactions that were cross-border. 19:38 And I had all the necessary requirements to do that. 19:42 And I was able to do it effectively and well 19:44 and have going recommendations from the senior partner 19:46 who oversaw my time there. 19:48 So when you eventually do come back, 19:50 and I'm just doing the timeline here, 19:52 you eventually do come back, 19:53 why didn't you decide to go back 19:55 can try the bar again. Well when we move back Jack we got a surprise baby. Our first baby 20:02 is his birthday today and he is 12 years old. And he we got pregnant and we decided all right 20:12 well we're going to stay in the United States and we are not going to move back abroad 20:16 because that was still an option. We were considering maybe Singapore or somewhere my 20:20 husband is more than fluent in in Mandarin and very, very good 20:27 with the business culture in Asia and in particularly in 20:31 China and Chinese speaking countries. So that was still an 20:33 option on the table that we might move abroad. And when we got 20:37 pregnant, we in short order, he found a job, we got health 20:40 insurance, which was kind of important in having a baby. 20:43 And we had four kids in six years. So 2014, 2016, 2018, 20:49 and 2020 boy girl boy boy. A lot of the misinformation miscommunication Jack is 20:55 around the fact that I labeled myself lawyer and and I consulted for a very 21:02 long time many people in the field is it okay and acceptable if I label myself 21:08 lawyer not attorney-at-law not Katie Zachariah Esquire but lawyer and 21:14 provide legal analysis, not legal advice. And they said, absolutely, absolutely across 21:19 the board, you can call yourself a lawyer, you have a JD, and to buffer that you have 21:24 international legal experience and transactional law, which gives you the ability to analyze 21:29 it, not necessarily give advice. And so that's, that's where a lot of this discussion 21:35 has come from. And, you know, it's unfortunate that people dub this as some kind of conspiracy 21:42 or want to put me in a camp. 21:45 The truth is is I was very careful how I executed this 21:48 and I never came across as someone 21:49 who was an attorney at law. 21:52 Do you plan to weigh in on legal matters 21:54 as you're with the president, as you're with others? 21:57 Is that something that's gonna be part of your duties 21:59 here as press secretary? 22:00 No, no, for the press secretary, 22:02 my job is to amplify and communicate his message 22:06 and to interact with the press 22:07 and build relationships and strengthen relationships 22:10 and communicate clearly the message of the administration. 22:14 And I only intend to do that. 22:16 And I'm not being hired as White House counsel. 22:19 And that's the long and the short of that. 22:22 You say you chose family over going into 22:24 the practice of law, and I totally understand that 22:28 as some of the families have, you know, Tanya. 22:31 And that being said, though, 22:33 you're moving into this position. 22:35 It's a tough job. 22:36 It's long hours. 22:37 You've just come back from, I think, 22:38 a four-state swing, how are you going to balance that out? 22:41 Well, first of all, my family is going 22:43 to be moving over to Washington, DC, 22:46 and that from California, and will be in this area. 22:50 And the truth is, is I look at this 22:52 as an element of service to my country, 22:55 that I have for my whole life been a political guru 23:01 growing up on Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity Radio, 23:04 And really the entire fountain of my conservative upbringing was Rush Limbaugh and the EIB network 23:14 behind the Golden Mike. 23:16 And that was all my memories as a kid were conservative politics. 23:20 I was known through even late elementary school, middle school, high school as being the 23:27 kid that debated President and College Republicans at Pepperdine. 23:31 And so this has been a lifelong passion and truly, as I have four kids, Jack, I look at 23:39 serving President Trump and the ability to serve President Trump at this historical time as 23:45 a way to protect the integrity of our nation, the sovereignty of our nation, to fight for the 23:52 president who I deeply believe saved this country. And when he won in 2016, he reset 23:58 America's trajectory. We were all being told Hillary was going to win. The golden days or 24:06 the glory days of America were over, that China was on the horizon. I remember this very distinctly 24:11 having just come from China, thinking, how is China the next country on the horizon? They 24:16 don't even have proper toilets. And I think that when President Trump won, I said our nation 24:24 will be reset and that for me to preserve our Republic for my children, though it will 24:31 be hard, though it will be, it has been hard, it is the most rewarding job to be able to 24:36 serve him and that in turn protects my children in their duration and my grandchildren and 24:43 even though it's going to be these years of that I won't necessarily be with them 24:48 as much as I could Jack, they will have the longevity of their country because of 24:53 President Trump and the service that I can provide to him 24:56 and to our country. 24:57 Oh, I know you've got to run, 24:58 but there is one last question and all the guys said, 25:01 you've got to ask her. 25:02 So I'm just going to say it, Saturday Night Live, 25:05 you know they're going to be coming, 25:07 you know this Saturday, 25:08 they're probably going to be doing something. 25:09 Who would you like to have play you on Saturday Night 25:12 Live? 25:13 I know it's coming, yes. 25:16 I think, who would I like to have play me? 25:19 Maybe a Scarlett Johansson type character. 25:21 I could see that. 25:22 Yeah, she's on there a lot. Yeah, I could see that. Yeah. Yeah, are you gonna watch? 25:25 I you know, I I'm not watching anything right now except 25:29 What he's doing and focusing on what the president's up to and trying to amplify that Jack 25:33 I do not want to see any of the other 25:37 X or Instagram or TV right now. All right, we will see Katie Zachariah. Best of luck to you 25:43 Thank you so much for joining us here once again on human events daily and congratulations. Thank you 25:48 All right, folks, Jack Casobac, here we are back live, real America's voice. 25:55 And there was Katie Zachariah, her first sit-down interview since becoming the White House press 26:02 secretary. 26:03 Lot of interesting details. 26:05 I thought the behind-the-scenes President Trump calling her up in the pumpkin patch 26:10 when she was with her children. 26:12 So obviously someone who is a working mom, but at the same time someone who understands 26:17 family values and specifically when I asked her the question how do you balance 26:23 the family with a job like this and she said it's about serving the American 26:28 people it's about serving the country because of her children because of the 26:34 family that she has that's the reason that she wanted to step up and come 26:39 there and as well as moving the family across the country to be here in 26:44 Washington DC. 26:46 And I understand that it's, she mentioned it was her oldest 26:49 son's first, her first son's birthday. 26:54 Wanted to go on now. 26:55 We have Rich Barris for the People's Pundit on Rich. 27:00 Wanted to get you on. 27:01 I'm sitting here kind of in the middle of all of this. 27:05 What was your take on the interview? 27:08 And then also sort of the press secretary's first week, 27:11 or, you know, first moves, they're writ large. 27:15 Well, first of all, Scarlett Johansson, I told you. 27:18 All right, it had to be Scarlett Johansson. 27:19 You did! 27:20 You said, all right, now you're breaking the fourth wall. 27:23 That's right. 27:23 Rich and I were talking beforehand, 27:25 and I said, I'm on my way to the White House. 27:28 I said, Rich, I gotta ask her about SNL. 27:31 I gotta ask her about SNL. 27:32 And right off the top of his head, 27:34 Rich is like Scarlett Johansson. 27:36 Look, it's just like, she is funny. 27:38 She can be funny when she wants to be. 27:41 and you know it just seemed to me the most appropriate one you know but look I 27:46 think that was a really good interview first of all I didn't know that much 27:50 about Katie so I'm sitting there listening to it and it was interesting you 27:54 know how it is with the media these days Jack you get like these you know just 27:58 simple headlines that are that are dumb and don't really drill down at all so I 28:02 was watching that with interest and I enjoyed it but I also think you know 28:07 that it's an important to have a press secretary 28:12 that understands the president's vision 28:14 and what made the president popular 28:17 and appealed to the American public. 28:19 It's important to have somebody like that around 28:20 in that position, it just is. 28:23 Well, and you could hear that, 28:26 that this, that her kiddie's background, of course, 28:29 she didn't talk about, other than the focus 28:32 on the overseas work, 28:36 She didn't really talk about how she had had a background and think about it, Rich. 28:42 The normal role of a press secretary is, other than President Trump's previous with Caroline 28:48 Levitt and now with Keith Zechariah, normally it's you work corporate comms for a while, 28:52 you've done a lot of those clients, then you work your way up from the podium to 28:59 the next podium. 29:00 But that's not what President Trump has done. 29:02 he's actually picking people now from the MAGA movement itself not from the 29:08 establishment and the fact that he's peaking people from the MAGA movement 29:12 who have come up through the ranks that way that's why the establishment hates 29:18 people like this isn't it? Yeah I was I was gonna bring it up anyway if you 29:22 weren't going to look did you hear what you said you know I came up 29:25 through the EIB ranks I mean the EIB reference that's like that's like 29:30 That's I mean that's pretty I was sitting there saying man like someone you could say you're like 29:36 Oh, I know Rush Limbaugh used to listen to Rush whatever but then saying EIB is like okay. That's right. It's that's legit 29:43 That's how you know that right? That's how you know when somebody says EIB. That's how you know 29:48 That's legit and look it be remiss not to bring up that there were 29:53 You know there were certain people who wanted other picks and look they wanted their neocon picks 29:59 I'm just gonna go ahead and say it and you know, it is what it is tough nuggies. All right, so yeah, look 30:05 this is a big big podium and 30:08 For people at home who don't really know 30:10 You just heard her give the story, you know about how this came about and I was talking to somebody the other day 30:19 I won't break the fourth law again, but I was talking to somebody the other day and he was like, you know 30:23 You know, I've been at this a long time. You know how long press secretaries take to prepare, you know 30:29 and she jumped right into this thing so it's it's just something that a lot of 30:33 people don't know at home and need to you know keep in its context brother it's 30:38 context right so you know there there are just also has to be said that there 30:43 are just gonna be some people who it's the way the White House works you 30:47 know all White Houses you know people want voices that more mirror their 30:52 worldview and what they want and I think that that faction has had a 30:57 run it this now for several months I think it's time like you said you know to 31:01 pick people from the MAGA movement and give that a try and look that's that's 31:07 what I'm gonna stick with because that is what it comes down to and and the 31:11 fact of matter is that when people asked about look and there were serious 31:14 questions about hey what's going on with this this legal situation and I 31:19 thought that the answer it's a story you've heard before I think from a 31:23 lot of people they go to law school and then they decide to not practice 31:27 they go on to do other things and for her she said she went and Pepperdine by the 31:31 way is not an easy school is a good school it is a tough school to get into in 31:37 the first place so Pepperdine graduate but then she met a guy and she decided to 31:41 go with the family that was something and we'll see you know the media of 31:44 course will not accept any answer but that being said there's gonna be a lot 31:48 of people out there who want to criticize the fact that she decided 31:52 to put family over the career that she decided to do that now they're 31:56 going to say, oh, will you use this word incorrectly? 31:59 But again, that is going to be something 32:02 that they are going to have to go through, 32:05 and it's going to be something where I think clearly. 32:07 And that's why I asked her the question. 32:07 I said, are you going to be weighing in on legal matters? 32:10 And she said, no, she said, I'm not the general counsel. 32:13 I mean, Rich, it's not like she's a Supreme Court nominee. 32:16 And so she's the press secretary. 32:19 It's going to be press matters. 32:20 And I thought that the answer of saying that this is why 32:24 Well, then why take the job? 32:25 She said also because of my kids, 32:27 because of my kids and because of the state of the country. 32:30 I thought that this was humanizing 32:31 and I thought it made her seem like a real person. 32:34 Jack, so a quick break right now. 32:36 Rich Barris here at Human Events Daily, 32:39 right back only on Real America's News, boys. 33:00 Hey, Tiffany Stratton here from WWE SmackDown. 33:03 Tiffy Time can be crazy, y'all. 33:05 And when I get a break, that means it's Chumba time. 33:07 Chumba Casino has hundreds of online social games 33:10 and new titles landing every week. 33:12 There's always something fresh to try, and the daily boosts make Chumba even more fun. 33:17 They're little epiphanies that make my day sparkle. 33:20 Ready for a fun way to switch off and take some time for yourself? 33:23 Let's Chumba! 33:24 No purchase necessary. 33:25 VGW Group. 33:26 Voidware prohibited by law. 33:27 CTs and Cs. 33:28 21 Plus. 33:28 Sponsored by Chumba Casino. 33:32 All 33:53 right, folks. 33:54 Check this out. 33:54 We're back. 33:55 Live, human events, daily, real Americas voice. 33:59 Ladies and gentlemen, I don't take things. 34:00 I don't take a lot of things at face value anywhere. 34:02 I think it takes. 34:02 anything. And I'll be honest with you tap water was one of the last things on my radar until I 34:07 actually looked into it. That's why I now purify all of the Poso family's water with Cove Pure. 34:14 Over 176 million Americans are drinking tap water with PFAS in it. These are man-made 34:19 chemicals used in food packaging, non-stick cookware and firefighting foam. Scientists call 34:24 them forever chemicals because once they're in the body they stay there and they don't 34:29 break down and they'll link to hormone disruption, immune damage, increased cancer risk. Here's the 34:34 part that stopped me cold. The EPA set legal limits for PFA... PFA's in drinking water back in 2024, 34:39 but what are systems have had until 2031 to comply? That's five whole years from now. 34:44 Until that deadline arrives, a utility can be operating above the legal limit 34:48 right now and isn't required to notify anyone. People are just drinking it. 34:53 The EPA knows these chemicals are harmful enough to regulate. They're not... 34:56 But they're just not making anyone act on it yet, which means it's on each of us to 35:01 take matters into our own hands. 35:03 Co-pure was engineered exactly for this. 35:05 Unlike the normal-pitcher filters at the store, Co-pure's clear-wave reverse osmosis 35:09 technology is certified to remove up to 99.9 percent of contaminants. 35:14 PFA's, heavy metals, fluoride pharmaceuticals, filtering particles hundreds of thousands of 35:18 times smaller than a single human hair. 35:21 It sounds like a small thing, but when the water actually tastes clean, it's easier 35:25 to drink more of it. 35:26 And for something that affects every other system in the body, that matters. 35:30 The best part about CovePure is how easy it is. 35:32 Since right on our countertop, no drilling holes, no calling a plumber, just plug it 35:36 on in. 35:37 Don't wait for 2031. 35:38 Take control of water quality right now. 35:41 Head to CovePure.com slash poso and get $250 off for a limited time. 35:45 The C-O-V-E-P-U-R-E dot com slash poso. 35:49 All right. 35:49 Back on with Rich Bowers for talking about our exclusive sit down interview real America's 35:55 voice, Katie Zachariah and Rich, we talked about how Katie comes from the MAGA movement 36:03 and really sitting down with Real America's voice or sitting down with new media at all 36:08 as a first interview is a massive, massive signal. 36:13 And it's a testament to the fact that the White House clearly looks at new media as 36:19 a place to set the narrative because, and we've had a number of members of the administration 36:24 on recently including the vice president as well as the secretary of war, and they've 36:28 used our program to break news, to set out new policies, now to do a first interview. 36:34 It's very clear that the huge through line through all of this is that they understand 36:41 that this is about the establishment versus independent media versus new media. 36:46 And the idea that the White House press secretary is doing the first interview with 36:50 a show like this as new media is a huge, huge side of that. 36:55 It's, you know what, it's more than that and not to glaze you here but I'm being deadly serious 37:00 when I say it also matters who you pick through those venues because I'm a pollster, 37:05 I'm an elections guy and I'm looking at the numbers and okay who do Republicans 37:08 got to turn out? Who do they have to excite? This was really smart of Katie to sit down 37:13 with you and do this. I mean you said it before we went to the break, you said it 37:16 humanized her it did but it's more than that if you're the administration and you 37:20 want to reach the people that you're having trouble motivating right now you 37:24 got to go through OG MAGA to do it you have to I mean people who have those 37:28 OG MAGA bona fides there's a lot of new faces on the scene they're doing a lot 37:33 of good work sure but there is a difference between who certain groups 37:38 trust and listen to so I think what they're doing is smart I wish they 37:42 would have started to do it earlier but you know what better late than 37:44 never. And then I was going to say this before that segment ended last last 37:49 block. You know, this is good. I like what I'm seeing here. I mean, there are 37:53 changes that are happening. It happens all the time with every White House. 37:56 After the midterms, we're going to get more folks. There are people who have 38:00 been in positions right now that are already past their average tenure. A 38:04 lot of these positions are very high turnover. It's a very, very serious 38:08 burn rate on them. They're, you know, burning both candles at both 38:12 then kind of jobs. And if this is any indication of what, you know, the president intends to 38:17 do, this is the right move. This is, you know, this is the right move. Again, better late 38:22 than never. I would have liked to see him do it a little bit earlier, but this is good. 38:26 Well, and not to push back, but the administration has always brought in a lot of new media 38:33 to the White House. But to do something on such a high level as this is, as far 38:40 I can tell it's unprecedented. I can't think of another another time where we've seen something like this and of course 38:47 you know the rest of the media is now and you know and people I'm starting to see clips and and 38:54 You know clips and people bringing things up from our show and it's like that's right 38:59 You've got to cite real America's voice now. You've got to cite human events 39:02 You've got a Jake Tapper when he was getting up there to old Jake Taper on CNN saying saying Pete Hanks have sitting down with 39:09 Jack Pasobic and you know, you know, it just he has he has to give us credit and it it drives them 39:17 Absolutely bonkers and so it made sense that you know, and actually I didn't know that either about about Katie 39:23 It said she said well 39:24 I was you know, I grew up listening to Rush Limbaugh 39:26 I said what and I was almost gonna add if we were doing more of a podcast kind of format 39:31 I would have added that you know, I I didn't get in a rush until I would say college 39:36 I was definitely already in college when I started listening, but man, once I started listening, I did not stop. 39:42 I, you know, just to go down memory lane here a little bit, I started with Rush early, and I remember working young, 39:50 and you had to get working papers back then. I'm not sure how it even works now, but back then up north in Tri-State area, 39:56 you had to get working papers, and I got a job with this guy who was super liberal. 40:01 You know I was like 17 years old and he's to come in the office 40:03 He had a coffee import and roasting company which by the way sold to Hilary Clinton and he loved it 40:09 You know, I mean that was that kind of guy 40:11 He sold her Chinese silver oolong tea and once a month 40:15 He would deliver the bag to this place where she had told them to drop it off 40:18 And that was like the pride and joy of his month right and I would sit in that office and listen to the E 40:24 I be in the golden microphone. He hated it, but what was he gonna do? 40:29 that we can't tell his employee, 40:30 he can't listen to what he wants to. 40:31 But yeah, I mean, cut my teeth on Russian 40:34 on the very first presidential election 40:36 that I could vote in, 40:37 and I'm listening to Katie just go through this, 40:40 and it was good. 40:40 This was, it was a good interview. 40:42 And by the way, I'll just say it again. 40:45 You just interviewed the vice president before that. 40:48 I mean, and right after that, you had Pete Hegson. 40:51 And there's a reason why the vice president's interview 40:53 did as well as it did because he sat down with you. 40:56 Part of what you just described 40:58 is its virility. I mean, when you have them say, and the vice president sat with 41:04 Jack on Air Force Two today, you know, that the right loves that stuff. They 41:09 know what it means, and they love them. It means that you're shifting the window 41:13 here, Jack, and it's long past time because, yeah, there's gonna be a role 41:18 for the legacy media, you know, at least for the foreseeable future. Will 41:23 they be as trusted as they once were ever again? I doubt it, but there'll 41:27 be a role and they'll be there. 41:29 And it's almost like a win. 41:31 I don't know what else to say, but it's a win 41:33 that to force them to have to acknowledge and say, 41:36 look, we now have to, we have to now throw to human events 41:40 and this is the clip. 41:41 You know, Rich, I remember, and she mentioned, 41:44 you know, she mentioned in the interview, 41:46 she said, well, I've wanted to do this in 2016. 41:48 And that's, to me, I took that as a reference of saying 41:50 that, you know, I took that a reference of saying 41:53 that, yeah, 2016 was when a lot of us got, 41:56 You know involved or re-involved I had been in you know college Republicans and stuff like that in the past and 42:02 But it was that 2016 42:04 Reference in that 2016 moment and experience when I really turbocharged getting back involved in politics 42:11 And there's no question about how the pre that it was stunning and historic when the president came and 42:18 Did get to see him very briefly as he was he was with the firefighters today on the Rose Garden 42:22 but I did briefly get to stop by that event. 42:25 Didn't get a chance to talk to him, 42:26 but did you briefly see him out there? 42:29 And he's going straight back to work, 42:31 even if you're getting off the plane from Montana 42:33 late last night and heading off as well. 42:36 But there's no question that it was that 2016 energy 42:40 that made the difference. 42:41 And people used to describe the 2016 election. 42:43 I remember somebody said it once, 42:45 the 2016 election was kind of like an argument 42:47 between the headline and the comment section of an article. 42:50 And I said, that's exactly what's going on. 42:54 It's an argument between the headline 42:55 and the comment section, the mainstream media, 42:57 but that comment section went and turned into social media 43:00 and that social media turned into new media. 43:03 Now we have real America's voice. 43:05 Now we have Rumble. 43:06 We have so many different getter, 43:08 truth social of course, where, 43:09 and by the way, her coming from truth social 43:11 made all the sense in the world 43:14 because in the truth social and the new media space 43:17 that they totally get how that ecosystem works 43:21 and it's just something that the mainstream media 43:23 doesn't understand at all. 43:25 Yeah, let me say too, 43:26 because there was something else that she said 43:28 that I took note of, 43:29 and I have not heard somebody in her position 43:31 or a similar position really say it 43:33 and say it with conviction. 43:34 She believed it in a while. 43:36 And I think that's been a problem. 43:38 She said, you know, this is my job. 43:39 This is a screaming, explaining her role, 43:41 but the president is really his best, 43:44 his own best spokesman. 43:46 And I think there have been a lot of voices who kind of forgot that recently and it muddles them 43:51 It muddles the waters and muddies up the you know, it clouds the message jack 43:55 It really does because what she said is very very true and Donald Trump has always been his best boat 44:01 It is rich or he's out there driving it the more effective. He is rich. Can we hold you? We got one more 44:06 Can we hold you brother? All right?

And I want to get on with Rich Barris because Rich, obviously look you've 46:50 got your book that's out that's tearing up the charts. It's called Burn It Down 46:55 and you have made this thesis that there and you know we obviously we share a 47:01 co-author Joshua Lisek and so we talk about very similar things in oh yeah 47:06 absolutely and we talk about similar similar trends in 47:10 Unhuman Socialist Revolution because you're talking about what's 47:14 happening out there and in terms of the people's public opinion we talk 47:19 about how that can turn into socialism turn into an actual revolution in the 47:24 United States, when we talk about this direction from the White House towards that 2016. 47:31 She brought it up a couple of times. 47:32 She said 2016, she said Rush Limbaugh, she talked about how, and she talked about the 47:38 fact that China, at that point in time, going back prior to Trump, we were all told that 47:44 China was about to leapfrog us and surpass us. 47:48 And I remember what I was working in China, which was actually a couple of years before 47:51 her that you know people were saying the exact same thing and so Rich it's what 47:59 do you think about that energy meeting the burn it down thesis yeah and you 48:05 know first of all though the hardcover came out a little bit after right the 48:09 pre-order stage was over maybe like six to seven days the president got the 48:13 very first hardcover copy of burn it down it's also the first signed one 48:17 And it's kind of, part of it's exciting, it's also concerning. 48:22 And I think back to Rush and how he handled Donald Trump in a very different way, the rise, 48:29 the ascendancy of Donald Trump in a very different way than others did. 48:34 And I think it's now looking back, it's really clear that maybe even, you know, Rush, he 48:38 was a very smart guy. 48:39 I mean, he saw, he was like a futurist. 48:40 And maybe he even saw this before many of us did, like, look, this guy is speaking 48:46 speaking to needs that you guys, the establishment, the political class, and either party has not 48:52 spoken to. 48:53 And if you don't let him deal with it or try to deal with it, it could get much, much worse 48:59 than this. 49:00 All right? 49:00 I mean, Donald Trump has turned out to be actually what you would always think a lot 49:05 of these conservative pundits loved and dreamed about. 49:09 But I think Rush did know that that was a very real danger. 49:12 Jack, you just approach it, your book just approaches it from a different point 49:15 of view, but we're arriving at the same conclusion, which is, you know, we don't get complacent. 49:20 America is special, but it's not exempt. And if we don't rise to these challenges, this 49:27 is what we're going to get. And this is what we're going to deal with. And even the president 49:31 knows that, you know that even the president understands that, you know, it's either 49:36 Maga or Mamdani, brother. Mamdani looks really ugly. 49:40 No, both both physically and spiritually that you know it's a situation where no 49:47 it and it's a situation where like when people say oh you know the president 49:51 needs to listen to people more well he just did that he just chose someone 49:55 directly from the MAGA movement brought them up someone who by the way I don't 50:00 mean to just say that you know this isn't someone who didn't have 50:03 accomplishments and hadn't worked had worked with fixed California had worked 50:07 when with all of the fights that were going on with with Spencer Pratt obviously right now with Steve Hilton in the fight that he's in 50:15 Understanding that California had gone so far and it doesn't surprise me at all that it would be a good like somebody listening 50:23 To rush Limbaugh out in California who understands what right who just gets it and would understand 50:30 That your society your entire state state like California, which was so great in the 1990s 50:36 so great up through the 2000s and then when completely down the drain very very quickly 50:43 would understand that they have to get up and go and fight because the only way to respond 50:50 to that is through politics and President Trump again by the way not New York City right 50:55 not exactly a guy in New York City LA what we're talking about not exactly a place 50:59 that's associated with traditional conservatism but that's kind of a point isn't it? 51:04 It really is and I remember going back even in the beginning of this thing 51:08 And they would always try to pin him down a lot of them because he would interview with everybody left-wing media right-wing media 51:14 And they would always try to pin him down because of the way a Republican primary works 51:18 You know try to get him in that lane where he's not winning that many 51:22 Very conservative primary voters anymore, and they would try to get him to you know obey those litmus tests, right? 51:29 and obey the dogmas of the primary voter and he would call himself a common sense conservative and 51:35 he would he would embrace it he bear hugged it jack he would say you know this I'm from Queens 51:40 I'm from New York City you know I'm I'm a conservative but I get things done I want to get 51:45 things done if it makes sense then that's conservative to me I'm a common sense conservative 51:50 it was almost like a a better attempt of what the bush family tried to do with a compassionate 51:56 conservatism which he won the election with and then promptly abandoned it right 52:00 but Trump didn't he never did he always said look you're not gonna pigeonhole me 52:04 into this and you know if it makes sense for the American voter that's the way 52:08 I'm gonna go with it and that's why attitudinally he appealed to this it's 52:13 been something to watch this coalition build you and I saw it in the Midwest 52:17 in early days in 2016 and then culminating with 2024 where this 52:23 This is a guy, like you said, he's from a billionaire from New York City. 52:27 He won 18 to 29-year-olds in the state of Michigan. 52:30 That's unheard of. 52:32 I remember talking about this with our turning point friends, 10 years ago, that was thought 52:38 of as impossible, basically, or at least incredibly unlikely. 52:42 When would a presidential candidate pull something like that off? 52:46 That's why. 52:47 That's all the difference in the world, Jack, is that attitudinal and even somewhat 52:51 ideological difference and I'm again happy to see him surrounding himself with people 52:57 who really do and we use this phrase all the time but who really do get it and and not
