America UnCanceled: Mercedes Schlapp & Jack Posobiec

Mercedes Schlapp, host of America UnCanceled, and Jack Posobiec, Senior Editor of Human Events and conservative influencer, have a conversation for a special international edition of the show. They discuss that there are many international events Posobiec has joined CPAC around the world, including Italy, Japan, Mexico, Hungary, and many others. The broad range of CPAC international shows that the conservative movement has global appeal. “This is a global movement towards the family towards conservative values…these issues we face in the United States are not separate issues from everything that's going on around the world.”, observes Posobiec. On this episode of America UnCanceled, Mercedes Schlapp and Jack Posobiec discuss the growing threat of globalism and secularism that threatens traditional conservative values not just in America but around the world. 

Posobiec observes that the COVID times were a “last stand for the atheists”. Mercedes says that even within the Church, many leaders shut down Churches when the time was such a difficult time and people needed access to God more than ever. Many people were turning to alcoholism and depression because of the isolation during COVID. But now in there is such a resurgence of faith, says Mercedes. 

“We are facing the threat of globalism, and I’m just gonna say it, we’re facing the threat of a secular atheist movement, this idea that we are going to replace our traditional religion with wokeism and this God-less atheist secularism and moral relativism.”, says Posobiec.

The conversation turns to CPAC’s involvement in European elections and how the disease of wokeism and authoritarianism has spread around the world and is a global problem. Mercedes brings attention to, “... these organizations that hone in on child mutilation, that hone in on taking God out of everything, and taking away freedoms, and government asserting themselves, taking away people's freedoms.” 

Mercedes goes on to say that CPAC is supporting conservatives around the world who support traditional values and seek to partner with President Trump’s agenda, “who are inspired by his boldness and bravery.” 

Posobiec comments on the conservative elections in Romania and a Trump ally, George Simion, who is now questioning the Romanian elections. He says that it's “statistically impossible” for Simion to have lost the election, as all the polls in Romania had him winning convincingly, “not even just the right wing polls, he was up across all the polls.” 

Simion was winning by twenty points, but Posobiec says his leftist opponent in the election was seemingly impossibly able to win. The will of the people is being sidelined, as this is the second election in Romania this year. The conservative candidate, Calin Georgescu, running earlier this year, was attacked by leftists using lawfare, causing him to be unable to run in elections again. This is exactly what the authoritarian leftists tried to do to President Trump in 2020, according to Posobiec. 

Posobiec also brings up how Poland was the first, before the conservative revolution of Brexit with Nigel Farage and Trump, to have major populist conservative victories. Karol Nawrocki, who is the conservative running for office in Poland, supports reforming their stance on dealing with the war in Ukraine, addressing issues over Poland’s inflation, and other economic struggles because of the war. Nawrocki is “someone who absolutely upholds Poland’s historic values, the values of culture, the values of faith, the values of standing up for your language and your people.”, says Posobiec. 

The conversation then turns to President Trump supporting Pope Leo XIV’s call for peace talks between the leaders of Russia and Ukraine to be held at the Vatican. “There’s tremendous bitterness and angerness, so having it at the Vatican, in Rome, would be a very great idea.”, says President Trump. Posobiec says that the talks being held at the Vatican would be very symbolic, calling to the Marian apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima and Pope Francis consecrating Russia to the Virgin Mary. 

The talks would also be symbolic, having two predominantly Orthodox nations meeting in the Western Catholic Church just after the Metropolitan Bishop of Constantinople visited the new Pope Leo XIV for his inaugural mass. “There could be a larger conversation had for ending schisms, bringing peace together between Ukraine and Russia, perhaps this could be a chance to also mend the schism between the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Western Church…Pope St. John Paul II said, ‘The Church needs to breathe with its two lungs.’”

Mercedes highlights how the left seeks to destroy traditional conservative values by attacking the family and censoring conservatives who want to speak out about what is happening to the country in regards to mass immigration. “To have a bigger government, what you would do is divide the people. Mass immigration is meant to divide the people”, says Posobiec.
