Human Events Daily with Jack Posobiec - APR 25 2022 – ELON MUSK OFFICIALLY PURCHASES TWITTER

00:00:00.000 Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily powered by Turning

00:00:06.260 Point USA. Today's April 25th, 2022. I don't know, dominate. Today's headlines. Elon Musk and the

00:00:13.240 Twitter board are close to finalizing a deal. Next, Obama's Ukraine envoy admits that Vladimir

00:00:21.500 Putin would not have invaded under President Trump. Third, a blue anon lawyer puts Congresswoman 0.74

00:00:28.840 Marjorie Taylor Greene on trial over January 6th. And finally, Beijing is planning lockdowns as

00:00:35.980 the CCP eyes the Solomon Islands. All this and more ahead, Human Events Daily.

00:00:50.820 You tweet a lot. I use my tweets to express myself. Some people use their hair. I use Twitter.

00:00:57.900 Well, but you use your tweeting to kind of get back at critics. Rarely. You kind of have little

00:01:04.460 wars with the press. Twitter is a war zone. If somebody is going to jump in the war zone,

00:01:09.580 it's like, OK, you're in the arena. Let's go. Well, the story just broke this morning,

00:01:14.180 only moments before we went to record the show today, record the podcast. Elon Musk. And we've

00:01:20.200 been covering the ins and outs of his quest. And that's really what it is, a quest to purchase

00:01:25.240 Twitter and take it private in the name of freedom of speech. You know, there was an interview with him

00:01:31.680 over the weekend, I guess at this Tesla or excuse me, one of these TEDx kind of conferences. And

00:01:38.040 they were asking him all these questions, you know, what should be banned? Should this be banned?

00:01:42.640 Should that be banned? All of this. And Elon's, you know, response, he said, look, in my view,

00:01:47.620 the way Twitter should operate should simply to comply with the laws of the country in which

00:01:54.580 they're operating. That's it. Go with the laws of the country. So if India's got a certain set of 0.99

00:01:59.200 laws, you go with India's laws. If the United States has a certain set, if the European Union

00:02:03.540 has a certain set, you go with whatever the law, the legislators are willing to put up and actually

00:02:08.700 enact into law because that's our system. That's how it's supposed to work. He doesn't want to get

00:02:14.060 into this game. And keep in mind that all of corporate America, all of the ruling class,

00:02:19.760 all of the regime is going to come down on his head now because it looks like we are in the final

00:02:27.280 stages of negotiations of this deal for Elon Musk to purchase Twitter and Bloomberg and Reuters both

00:02:35.480 have the story out this morning. Twitter Inc. is in the final stretch of negotiations about a $43

00:02:40.440 billion sale to Elon Musk. Keep in mind, that number is probably going to go up a little

00:02:44.040 bit. That could rank as one of the biggest ever leveraged buyouts of a listed company,

00:02:49.340 people with knowledge of the matter said. The social media company is working to hammer out

00:02:53.140 terms of a transaction and could reach an agreement as soon as Monday if negotiations go smoothly. And

00:02:59.260 keep in mind, he's asking or he's offering them something like 30% more than that the company is

00:03:06.400 actually worth. So it's going to be very hard for them to say, right, it's gonna be very hard for

00:03:10.160 them to say, well, you know, it's not enough. And it's also, it's not really realistic to think that

00:03:15.300 you're going to find another buyer that quickly who's just willing to put up that much money and

00:03:19.980 do all this work the way that Musk is. It's not going to happen overnight. So they're basically

00:03:24.660 saying, look, we're going to go with this. Musk is lining up partners for the acquisition,

00:03:29.080 continues to speak to potential co-investors. And it looks as though, where is it? Twitter started warming

00:03:34.140 up to a potential deal after Musk revealed a financing plan for the unsolicited bid that

00:03:39.100 included backing from Morgan Stanley and other institutions. And so keep in mind, keep in mind,

00:03:44.660 right, he's going to be financing this thing. By the way, how nice must it be that when you,

00:03:49.220 when you reach the net worth of Elon Musk, you essentially are able to take out loans based on

00:03:54.100 the value of your show. He's taking out these loans based against the value of the shares that

00:03:57.800 he holds in Tesla, which is where he derives a great extent of his net worth. And so it's basically,

00:04:03.240 you go to Morgan Stanley and say, yeah, I give me a loan because well, look how rich I am. Right.

00:04:08.200 And so I get a loan based on that must be nice, must be nice. But you got to stand for it. And I think

00:04:13.280 a lot of people have said this, but you know, it's like Elon Musk, finally, the first time a guy has

00:04:19.340 gotten that rich and decided to actually do cool stuff with his money, right, to actually go in and

00:04:24.980 say, you know what, I think I want to improve society somewhat. And I think freedom of speech is

00:04:30.300 important. And so we're actually going to spend this money to create a system of free speech.

00:04:35.980 And keep in mind that he's saying that, and he has said this as well at that TED conference,

00:04:41.060 that he doesn't look at this as an economic decision. So he's not even sure if he can make

00:04:46.900 Twitter profitable. Twitter's never been profitable, right? He's not even sure if this

00:04:50.680 is going to be something that he's sinking his money into. And it's going to be great for investors.

00:04:54.000 I mean, it'll certainly go up for the time being. But if he takes a private, now you got to start

00:04:58.240 making money again. You can't go back to stock market every time. So what's he going to do?

00:05:03.040 How's it going to look? And keep in mind, though, folks, this isn't just going to happen overnight.

00:05:09.280 The same way when we said, if you think they'll just let you take your country back without a fight, 1.00

00:05:16.640 you're ridiculous. If you think that they are just going to let Elon Musk walk in, swoop in from 0.96

00:05:22.280 the rafters and take Twitter back to where it was in 2016 and 2015, 2014, where it actually was a free 0.98

00:05:30.060 forum, I think you're a little being you're being a little ridiculous. This is the real world. And 0.90

00:05:35.400 there are huge, massive powers, billions of dollars on the line to determine what is allowed to be

00:05:42.960 said and what should be censored, what should be suppressed in that form. So we'll see. We'll see.

00:05:48.300 Are they going to go after Tesla? You better believe it. Are they going to go after SpaceX?

00:05:52.540 You better believe it. But I applaud Mr. Musk on this move. We're backing him and we hope to see

00:05:59.140 what comes next. Look at how hard they are trying to stop Elon Musk from taking over Twitter.

00:06:07.680 Corporate America is doing anything they can to push ESG, to push DEI, wokeism, all this stuff across

00:06:15.240 the board. We are starting to understand that if we want to change this nation, you have to change

00:06:20.240 the way the marketplace works. And that's what Elon Musk is doing, because these woke corporations

00:06:25.180 are seeking to divide us. The big banks are freezing the accounts of people who disagree with

00:06:30.200 their political views. And our supply chain is dependent upon countries like China that are

00:06:35.020 actively working against our values. It's time for a change. And that change starts with you and

00:06:39.800 your wallet. That is why I've been proud to partner with Public Square, the largest directory of

00:06:44.820 freedom loving businesses our nation has ever seen. That's what Public Square is. Public Square

00:07:24.240 President Trump has claimed that this invasion, quote, never would have happened in the Trump

00:07:31.840 administration. I've heard that you have also suggested that Putin might not have gone to war

00:07:37.060 if Trump was still in office. And you said, quote, you don't need to go to war if you're getting

00:07:41.660 everything you want through other means. Tell me what you meant by that.

00:07:46.960 Trump was very dismissive of NATO. I mean, dismissive is obviously a diplomatic word,

00:07:55.580 very critical of NATO, critical of our allies. And his close associates, including John Bolton,

00:08:00.980 have said that if he had won a second term, he would have pulled us out of NATO. I mean,

00:08:05.280 why go to war if you're Vladimir Putin, if the United States is going to present, you know,

00:08:11.660 kind of the corpse of NATO on a silver platter? You don't need to do that.

00:08:15.900 So the voice you're hearing, they're dancing around, tiptoeing. That's former Obama ambassador

00:08:23.500 to Ukraine out of Kiev. Marie Yovanovitch, the same Marie Yovanovitch who put me on a list. Yes,

00:08:32.080 that's right. Put me on a list because we were talking about what Hunter Biden was up to

00:08:37.580 with Burisma in Ukraine. And you listen to what Marie Yovanovitch did right there. And it's amazing

00:08:44.140 because she realizes it. And if you go watch the full interview, she's got this out there.

00:08:49.000 She realizes the huge mistake that she's made in saying, well, of course, if President Trump was,

00:08:55.660 you know, still involved, then, you know, if you're Vladimir Putin, why do you even invade at that point?

00:09:00.440 She's kind of making the point that President Trump's diplomacy actually was preventing

00:09:06.260 a war from breaking out and actually would have been better for the people obviously had a war not

00:09:13.740 broken out on their territory because his diplomacy was working versus whatever it is that's going on

00:09:21.620 now. It's not diplomacy. It's actually just money laundering for Raytheon, right? Support Raytheon.

00:09:25.820 I stand with Raytheon. You know, we should they should make a, you know, maybe right before,

00:09:31.860 you know, Elon Musk buys Twitter, Raytheon should come along and give you like a Raytheon emoji. So

00:09:38.160 you could put that in your Twitter profile. And so it says, I stand with Raytheon. And so everybody

00:09:42.660 knows everybody knows I stand with them. Raytheon, of course, our Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin

00:09:48.360 had been on the board of Raytheon. Raytheon also one of the principal manufacturers of what

00:09:54.240 the Javelin missile system. So every time Javelins are sent over, guess what? People are making money.

00:10:00.500 They're making money with every single one of these shipments. And I really appreciate the fact

00:10:06.080 that Donald Trump Jr. last week actually did call this out. And he specifically said, what was his

00:10:11.160 line? Big Pharma had their turn at the trough. Now it's big wars turned at the trough. And that's

00:10:17.580 exactly what's going on day after day after day. So Yovanovitch, getting back to it, she admits,

00:10:22.800 she admits that the foreign policy of the Trump administration was keeping Ukraine safe. She

00:10:30.460 admits it. And then she says later on the interview, because she gets pressed on this and because the

00:10:35.700 reporter and as as the late great Rush Limbaugh used to always say in a random act of journalism,

00:10:42.380 right, a random act of journalism occurs. And she says, well, would that have been better for the

00:10:47.180 people of Ukraine? And then Yovanovitch goes, well, it's, you know, we're speaking in hypotheticals,

00:10:53.600 right? She falls to pieces. She goes, well, we're speaking in hypotheticals. It really, you know,

00:10:58.420 you know, diplomats shouldn't do that. You know, we really shouldn't discuss what what ifs and could

00:11:04.940 have. And it's a joke. And I hope people realize how much of a joke this is. This is your regime,

00:11:10.680 by the way. This is your power structure. This is your ruling class. This is what happens when 0.57

00:11:15.780 they're asked basic questions. This is why these people don't go on Joe Rogan, by the way, or when

00:11:21.360 they do. And he actually asks them hard questions. They have no idea how to answer because they've

00:11:26.980 never actually been challenged once in their lives on any of their presuppositions, because in their

00:11:32.480 mind, it was simple. Trump bad, Biden good, right? Trump bad, Biden good. That's that's it. And so

00:11:39.000 anything he does, if you actually consider the compact, the consequences of his actions,

00:11:44.720 if you consider, right, exactly what was going on, and the fact that we didn't have wars breaking out

00:11:51.640 during the Trump administration, we had peace breaking out during the Trump administration.

00:11:56.660 That's what was happening. Middle East, it was getting peace accord signed. Kosovo and Serbia had

00:12:01.900 a peace accord signed, by the way, in Europe, which of course, nobody talks about, right? And he was

00:12:07.200 working that fine line between Ukraine and between Russia. We were seeing this. And by the way, for

00:12:13.500 those who say, you know, he was a Putin puppet and everything, he was the only person who was calling

00:12:19.520 out the Nord Stream 2 pipeline and was championing American LNG exports into Europe. And he was trying

00:12:27.400 to get these LNG facilities built in Poland and Germany so that American LNG would be shipped over and

00:12:34.100 then be sold. And who does that benefit? Oh, that's right. The American people. That's a little

00:12:38.920 something that, you know, back in the day, they used to call trade. They used to call that trade,

00:12:44.540 right? So we sell things abroad that people buy. And then we reduce the things that we buy from

00:12:53.060 abroad. And then we have this thing. It's crazy. I know, I know it's crazy. We're not supposed to talk

00:12:58.400 this way anymore. We have this thing called potentially, potentially a balance of trade.

00:13:03.900 Maybe even, maybe, I know, I know it's crazy. I know, I'm talking, you know, it's like I'm talking

00:13:08.960 in tongues here. A trade surplus. Where wealth is actually being derived from the trade relationships

00:13:17.900 and going back to the American people.

00:13:23.220 And you know that the term 1776 is actually a term that's sometimes used in politics today.

00:13:33.340 I don't know if you've noticed our state seal here in Georgia. I know you're not from Georgia.

00:13:38.420 But as you can see, we, we enjoy our history and we're proud of our freedoms. 1776 is on our state seal.

00:13:45.580 Great. And it's also a term that's used in political discourse in America today.

00:13:51.500 I don't use it as a term of violence. Well, that's Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, 1.00

00:13:57.060 the notorious MTG in what seems to be a courtroom trial, right? Where she's being grilled,

00:14:07.700 absolutely grilled by this, this attorney down there. And it was held in Atlanta. And I actually

00:14:13.000 have to apologize because I did not realize that those proceedings were going on last Friday.

00:14:18.640 And if they were, I would have hyped that thing up like UFC. I would have hyped that up like crazy

00:14:24.840 because I didn't realize she was actually going to be taking the stand. She did take the stand and she

00:14:29.320 absolutely killed it. She killed it like Tyson Fury, just uppercut after uppercut politically, 1.00

00:14:34.980 politically, politically, of course, caveat, caveat, caveat. What do I mean? Because when she was up

00:14:40.580 there and what's this thing, all right, what's going on? Why is she, why are they doing this?

00:14:44.460 Apparently these blue and on lawyers, you know, blue one on this, that's the crazies on the left.

00:14:48.960 They came up with this reading of the 14th amendment that says, if you took part or incited

00:14:56.880 an insurrection against the United States, that you can no longer stand for office in the United States.

00:15:04.760 And what does that mean? So that meant for confederates or people who had joined the confederacy,

00:15:11.020 who, which obviously was a war between the United States and the confederate states.

00:15:18.380 And so then after the war, they weren't allowed to then serve in Congress. Okay. That's the point

00:15:24.580 of the amendment, right? That was one of the post-war amendments that was signed and passed.

00:15:28.080 So they're trying to apply that to her using this completely insane version of the reading 0.99

00:15:37.080 to claim that the events that took place on January 6th, a protest and parts of which turned

00:15:42.480 into a riot constitute an insurrection, never been like proven or decided anywhere. And therefore

00:15:50.020 she should no longer be on the ballot again. That's the level of insanity that's going on in our

00:15:55.820 country. They were trying to disqualify her in the name of democracy. So in the name of democracy, 1.00

00:16:01.860 you can't vote for your representatives. You can only vote for your approved representatives.

00:16:09.380 That's what they call democracy. Now it's a sham and we should call it out and we should absolutely

00:16:15.040 call out these tactics wherever they're used. So they put her on show trial. They put a sitting 0.98

00:16:21.180 congresswoman on a show trial, trying to kick her off the ballot to not even allow her the opportunity. 0.94

00:16:29.480 Keep in mind, the opportunity of the people of her district to decide whether or not they wanted to

00:16:37.340 have this woman represent them in the Congress. That's the way the system is supposed to work. 1.00

00:16:42.300 It's not up to you. It's not up to lawyers. It's not up to judges, right? It's up to the people.

00:16:47.060 The people get the choice. They could choose no. Sure. That's the whole point. That's why you have

00:16:52.940 primaries. That's why you have generals. There's also another part of this where they start at one

00:16:57.820 point asking her, they said, they said, Congressman, have you seen the movie Independence Day? And she

00:17:04.220 goes, I don't know. I mean, I don't watch a lot of movies. And he's asking her about this line that,

00:17:10.320 of course, we all know the iconic scene where the president says, you know, we will not go quietly into

00:17:16.240 that night. We will fight on. We're going to survive, right? And so he plays that clip from

00:17:20.800 Independence Day for her and says, no, isn't that similar to what you said on January 6th? She looks

00:17:27.780 at the guy and goes, yeah, I don't think Independence Day is the first time they ever said that. And she's

00:17:33.180 right. She actually fact checks the guy from the stand. He wasn't, that doesn't come from Independence

00:17:39.580 Day. It's a poem. Dylan Thomas, 1947, Rage Against the Dying of the Light. She actually fact checks

00:17:48.160 this douchebag. And of course, of course, definitely checks him up against the boards when she says, 0.97

00:17:56.260 when you're discussing 1776, we're discussing the founding of our country. So keep in mind,

00:18:03.460 now we know who these people are. These are the people, they want 1619, they want 1984,

00:18:11.980 we want 1776. The choice couldn't be more clear.

00:18:16.040 What you're hearing there is the sound of panic buying that's going on. And not here in the

00:18:33.120 United States for once, that's out of Beijing. Because in the city of Beijing, while Shanghai is

00:18:39.500 still an open prison, where they're starving 26 million people, now up in Beijing, they think 0.88

00:18:47.300 lockdowns are coming. And so the people of Beijing are rushing to the supermarkets, they're rushing to

00:18:53.420 Carafors, they're rushing all over the city to try to buy up as many food and supplies as they can,

00:18:59.580 because they saw what happened down in Shanghai. And they are so terrified that the CCP is about to put

00:19:06.180 them under lockdown the same way, harsh lockdowns, stuck in your own, imagine it, right? Your own home

00:19:14.260 becomes a prison, a prison cell for you and your family, starving you within the confines of the

00:19:21.960 place that you live. That's what the CCP was doing. There's a great video, by the way, that's going

00:19:26.940 viral all throughout China, talking about Shanghai. And it's called the voices of April. So April was the 0.71

00:19:34.800 month where these lockdowns were constituted. And it's just the voices of regular people talking about

00:19:39.860 their experiences, trying to get food, trying to help get food to others, right? During the terror

00:19:48.400 lockdowns. So the terror lockdowns of Shanghai might now be implemented in Beijing as well. They're going

00:19:54.900 to put terror lockdowns on their own people. Why does this matter? Why does this matter for Americans?

00:20:00.060 Because the authoritarianism of the CCP is the same authoritarianism they are trying to institute

00:20:06.720 here. They call it the Great Reset. They call it the Party of Davos. They call it the, you know,

00:20:11.420 the World Act, whatever, right? Whatever you call it, ESG, DEI, all these little acronyms they come up

00:20:16.460 with. It's authoritarianism. That's what it is. Now, also in CCP news, we're hearing that China has just

00:20:26.780 signed a military security agreement with the Solomon Islands. And Australia and their Prime

00:20:32.820 Minister Scott Morrison and the United States have come out saying that if they institute a military

00:20:38.640 base in the Solomon Islands, which are very close to Australia and New Zealand, that it would be a red 1.00

00:20:44.260 line for Australia and the United States. So keep in mind that when you're using that type of language,

00:20:49.080 and this goes back to President Obama and Syria, when you're using the language of red line,

00:20:53.360 we need to be very clear about this. Scott Morrison, Australia, the government of Australia is

00:20:59.460 threatening military action on the Solomon Islands, should they allow China to build a base 0.92

00:21:05.680 on their sovereign territory. Keep in mind the Solomon Islands, that's a sovereign nation.

00:21:11.100 They're a sovereign Pacific Island. They have their own diplomacy, their own government.

00:21:16.800 But Australia is threatening military action with the backing of the United States,

00:21:22.220 a Five Eyes partner over this. And why? Right? Why? Because it's about your security.

00:21:32.140 And so keep in mind that when you look at the Ukraine situation, when NATO was talking about putting

00:21:39.860 military bases and missiles in Ukraine, the Kremlin took it as a threat. The Kremlin looked at it

00:21:49.020 as being a red line against their security interests. When the Soviet Union was putting 0.53

00:21:55.420 missiles in Cuba back in the 1960s, the United States blockaded Cuba because they saw it as

00:22:02.380 a red line. Understand, this is the way the world works. And the United States is starting to realize

00:22:09.740 that whether it be China, whether it be Russia, whether it be India, whether it be Brazil,

00:22:12.860 people are not just going to do whatever it is you say anymore.

00:22:17.500 And that is all the time we have here today. Human events daily. Remember our promise,

00:22:23.900 our oath, our solemn vow to you be good, be brief, be gone and your homework for us. Share this out

00:22:28.580 with one, just one of your normie friends. What did we talk about today? Elon Musk and the Twitter

00:22:32.860 board close to finalizing a deal. And you know, the regime is going to respond to that next Obama's

00:22:39.280 Ukraine envoy admitted on live television that Putin probably wouldn't have invaded Ukraine under

00:22:45.560 President Trump. Third, Blue Anon putting Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene on trial 0.58

00:22:50.940 over being an insurrectionist. And finally, Beijing is planning terror lockdowns as the CCP as a military

00:22:58.040 base in the Solomon Islands. But before we go, it's time for today's history break. Today, the Hubble

00:23:04.640 Space Telescope in 1990 was put in place by the crew of the space shuttle Discovery. Ladies and gentlemen,

00:23:12.620 as always, you have my permission to lay ashore.
