00:00:53.880 Cuba says it has killed four people on a speedboat originating from Florida and

00:00:58.960 injured six others country's interior ministry alleges they were attempting to

00:01:03.640 carry out terrorism on the island were made aware by Cuban authorities of an

00:01:07.920 incident off the coast of Cuba we immediately began to look into it as it

00:01:14.520 stands now the Department of Homeland Security the Coast Guard others are

00:01:17.640 involved the majority of the information we still possess is what Cuban

00:01:21.760 authorities are providing both the public and the U.S. government. We have our embassy on the

00:01:26.940 ground in Havana working this as we speak, asking for access to the people that were on those

00:01:32.140 vessels if they were American citizens or permanent residents, according to the Cuban

00:01:35.780 regime that the boat was registered in Florida. The U.S. and Iran holding a third round of nuclear

00:01:42.940 talks in Geneva today, negotiating the future of Tehran's nuclear program as the U.S. builds up

00:01:48.880 its military force in the region. President Trump warning bad things, quote-unquote,

00:01:53.740 could happen if Tehran does not agree to a deal. Iran's foreign minister, meanwhile,

00:01:58.180 says an agreement is, quote, within reach. Sources tell CBS News the relationship between

00:02:02.780 the Trump administration and artificial intelligence company Anthropic appears to

00:02:07.060 be on thin ice. Anthropic was awarded a $200 million defense contract last summer in a meeting

00:02:12.660 with the pending on Tuesday. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave CEO Dario Amadei until the end

00:02:18.280 of the week to sign a document ensuring the military would have full access to the company's

00:02:23.260 AI model. Vice President J.D. Vance says the Trump administration will temporarily halt

00:02:27.660 some Medicaid funding to the state of Minnesota over fraud concerns. President Trump's point man

00:02:33.500 on his war against fraud says he wants to restore public faith in taxpayer-funded programs and bring

00:02:39.280 justice to those who defrauded them. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's, her monumental

00:02:44.680 testimony is today in the House's investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. Closed-door depositions

00:02:50.480 today and tomorrow are a result of months of demands from the House Oversight Committee

00:02:55.540 looking to find out what the Clintons really know about the late convicted sex offenders' crimes.

00:03:03.480 All right, folks, Jack Posobiec here. We're live. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard

00:03:07.360 today's edition of Human Events Daily here on Real America's Voice. Today is February 26,

00:03:13.300 2026 anno domini the hillary clinton closed door but perhaps leaked photo deposition is going on

00:03:24.200 right now as we speak in new york state in the epstein case and of course the photo heard around

00:03:33.500 the world the photo that was leaked by benny johnson my colleague has now derailed it seems

00:03:42.560 the entire process. We're not sure if they have yet to resign or to, excuse me, resume

00:03:49.880 this. And she, because this deposition had not been going well for Hillary because the entire

00:03:56.900 time we've got video when she arrived to talk about Epstein, that she's been trying to turn 1.00

00:04:01.660 the tables. She's been trying to say, oh, well, what about Donald Trump? What about him? What

00:04:07.680 about this? And no, Hillary, what about you and your crooked husband? What about you and your 1.00

00:04:14.040 crooked foundation? What about the fact that Jeffrey Epstein said that he was one of the

00:04:19.560 founders of the Clinton Global Initiative? What about what the Clintons were doing down in Haiti?

00:04:26.800 Oh, that's right. Haiti, right down there in the Caribbean next to what else was there in the

00:04:32.200 Caribbean. What else? Oh, that's right. Jeffrey Epstein's pedophile island. So there are pictures

00:04:38.140 again of Bill Clinton swimming with Ghislaine Maxwell, Bill Clinton in hot tubs with women

00:04:45.500 and girls who have their faces redacted. That's what this story came out with. That's what the

00:04:52.320 Epstein files showed. What do they have about Trump? They had Trump calling the police and

00:04:58.500 saying you need to go after Epstein because he's a bad guy. That's what they had about Trump.

00:05:03.120 Bill Clinton went to, or excuse me, Jeffrey Epstein went to Bill Clinton's White House

00:05:10.360 17 times. Did he go to the Trump White House? No, he didn't. No, he didn't. It was the Clinton

00:05:18.380 White House when Hillary herself was the first lady. Now, we were told that prior to, okay,

00:05:26.400 So prior to this pause, this suspension of the deposition that Hillary, this was some of the information that was coming out, was refusing to defend her husband, Bill, that she was claiming that she had never met with Epstein.

00:05:41.520 She admitted that she met with Ghislaine Maxwell, but she was stopping short of defending Bill.

00:05:48.080 Now, if she were smart and we all know that Hillary wants to run again, we all know that she wants to be this dark horse candidate for 2028, even though I don't think anyone financially, I would hope that no one is stupid enough to actually go and to back that horse, because that's a horse that needs to be put out to pasture a long time ago. 0.58

00:06:10.580 But please, if she wants to run again and wants to get destroyed by us, then by all means, we will go full 9-11 memorial on Hillary Clinton yet again if she wants to throw her hat in the ring. 0.99

00:06:24.440 Or should I say, throw her flats in the ring, if you know what I mean. 1.00

00:06:28.780 So what she could do here politically, the smart move would be throw her husband under the bus. 1.00

00:06:36.700 And yet she won't do that. 0.99

00:06:37.980 She never did it.

00:06:38.720 she stood by him, even when he cheated on her all throughout the marriage, even cheated on her

00:06:43.980 during his time in the White House, Monica Lewinsky, always stood by him, always stood by him.

00:06:50.680 She always wanted to be president. She carefully and coldly calculated every single move of her

00:06:56.560 life to try to be the first female president. And yet she was blocked by Donald J. Trump.

00:07:03.460 that's what this is all about for her but will she give any information that remains to be seen

00:07:11.280 right back jack posovic human events daily

00:07:13.140 stand in our way and our golden age has just begun this is human events with jack

00:07:24.180 now it's time for everyone to understand what america first truly means welcome to the second

00:07:31.360 American Revolution.

00:07:37.800 All right, ladies and gentlemen, we're back.

00:07:39.740 Human Events Daily, Jack Posobiec, Real America's Voice, folks.

00:07:43.020 Every major company that you know, they're using AI right now.

00:07:46.500 TurboTax, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Meta, Apple, banks, insurance companies,

00:07:50.500 hospitals, credit bureaus, retailers, data firms.

00:07:52.660 They say it's all about innovation.

00:07:55.920 But the truth is, it's about turning your personal information into their profit.

00:08:00.700 Big corporations are serving you up on a silver platter to cyber criminals.

00:08:04.760 AI runs on data about real people, your name, your home address, your phone number, your job, your family.

00:08:09.840 That information comes from data broker and people search sites that build detailed profiles on you without your permission.

00:08:17.640 So during tax season, that exposure becomes even more dangerous because those same profiles don't just feed corporate AI systems.

00:08:25.160 They are used by scammers.

00:08:27.520 Criminals look people up before they attack.

00:08:29.040 They know who you are, where you live, and how to approach you.

00:08:32.440 And this is the time of year they strike the hardest, filing fake tax returns, impersonating the IRS, and stealing refunds using stolen identities.

00:08:41.280 AI makes scams faster, easier to execute, and harder to spot.

00:08:45.580 When your information is public, you face exposure.

00:08:49.080 So ask yourself, what defenses do you actually have against this?

00:08:52.480 Well, the Human Events audience knows exactly what the defense is.

00:08:55.180 It's Patriot Protect.

00:08:56.640 Patriot Protect is the only anti-AI tool that actually removes you from this system.

00:09:01.680 Patriot Protect deletes your personal information from Google and removes it from over 240 data broker and people search sites.

00:09:08.720 The exact places AI systems and scammers pull from.

00:09:11.760 Once removed, their search and destroy protocol keeps monitoring and wiping new exposures automatically.

00:09:18.040 Don't sit there and let scammers use AI to exploit and steal from you and your family.

00:09:22.560 Use Patriot Protect and take your data back.

00:09:25.460 Take control of your personal information and reduce your exposure.

00:09:29.020 Use promo code POSO for 15% off all Patriot Protect plans.

00:09:33.260 Go to patriot-protect.com slash POSO and use promo code POSO for 15% off.

00:09:39.840 All right, folks, we spent yesterday.

00:09:42.080 We're really getting in.

00:09:43.240 We had Tommy Robinson on.

00:09:44.420 Great episode.

00:09:45.200 That's going just viral out there.

00:09:48.060 State of the Union, of course, we had to talk about that.

00:09:50.220 But we have to talk about the forced laydown in the Middle East, the massive amount of American equipment and materiel that has been moved over there.

00:10:00.640 F-22s now lined up on Israeli air bases for the first time in history in preparation for potential combat operations in Iran.

00:10:11.060 We're also seeing just early this morning, Fifth Fleet, the entirety of Fifth Fleet just exited port in Bahrain.

00:10:22.180 What does that mean?

00:10:23.380 Well, when you see something like that, when Fifth Fleet bugs out, that means that all those ships that aren't directly associated in operations are leaving port because they don't want to be targeted in the event of a retaliatory strike by Iran.

00:10:38.280 All of this means that the signs are in place.

00:10:42.300 As we know, the two carriers, including the USS Gerald Ford, which is the most powerful warship in the world today, is just about to drop anchor off the coast of Israel.

00:10:53.200 I want to bring on Tom Sauer here, my friend, also a, I should say, Navy combat expert, if we will, fellow Navy veteran, to kind of go through some of this.

00:11:04.200 Tom, how are you?

00:11:05.800 I'm doing good, brother. Good to talk to you again.

00:11:08.280 You as well. So look, you know, a week ago you came on here. We laid out what we could see as potential scenarios. It looks like many of those are playing out. We said you're going to see you're going to see sea power and you're going to see air power that's moving forward at a very fast clip. That's exactly what we've seen.

00:11:25.740 We've got a number of maps up that we can use to show people what exactly is the picture that we're looking at.

00:11:31.340 And, Tom, I want to get right into it.

00:11:33.080 We know there's these negotiations in Geneva right now.

00:11:36.500 President Trump's side, Whitcoff, Kushner, they've come in with one set of demands.

00:11:40.880 The Iranian side is putting forward their deal.

00:11:43.160 It looks like there's a lot of distance between those two sides.

00:11:46.480 So let's go in and say, what if, in the what if scenario, this thing kicks off.

00:11:52.460 what do you think the first round and looks like airstrikes when you see that many f-22s guess

00:11:58.620 what those are for boys and girls those are for suppression of enemy air defenses that's literally

00:12:03.360 what that platform is designed for to be able to destroy radars and fly through anything it's a

00:12:08.580 stealth fighter most advanced fighter on the planet so what do you think you would see tom

00:12:13.200 or what should we expect to see in terms of perhaps an opening salvo from the united states on iran

00:12:19.580 Well, I think I'd point out that for better or worse, everything I talked about last time so far seems to be coming to fruition. It really does look that way. But with a key point that you mentioned on right there, and this is something that I was taught a long time ago, many years ago, and I think you were taught this as well, being an intel guy, being one of our intel guys back in the day at our old unit.

00:12:38.520 But I would say that the Iranians shouldn't get worried when there's a lot of ships in the Persian Gulf, right?

00:12:45.500 If you take a look at the Persian Gulf, they're up on the map.

00:12:47.820 It's not a very big, it's a very compact body of water right there.

00:12:51.880 And the thing is that the Iranians shouldn't get nervous when all of our ships go into the Gulf.

00:12:56.600 It's when all of our ships leave. 1.00

00:12:58.380 Because what that really means is that the U.S. Air Force is showing up to really mess things up.

00:13:04.300 And I think you're absolutely right.

00:13:05.440 You're going to see the first strikes you're going to see are coming from, you know, their

00:13:09.820 long distance strikes.

00:13:10.800 You're looking at the F-22s, you know, you're looking at, you know, we might have the B-2s

00:13:15.320 might make another appearance again, or, well, they won't appear to anybody, but their presence

00:13:19.640 might be felt.

00:13:20.840 Yeah, exactly.

00:13:21.880 Right.

00:13:22.860 Their presence will be made known.

00:13:25.260 Yes.

00:13:25.700 Their presence may be felt.

00:13:26.960 Absolutely. 0.94

00:13:28.060 I can see them hitting what is left of the Iranian nuclear program, but more importantly, 0.93

00:13:32.120 you're going to see them completely disable the military there. 0.91

00:13:35.440 Um, I think, but also keep in mind, you're also, there's a risk there because, you know, you said earlier that the, you know, fifth fleet, that all the fifth fleet assets, the ships bugged out apparently. Well, the thing is, it's still fifth fleet headquarters. So we, that's the Navy's headquarters in the Middle East is in Bahrain, which is that little Island that's right on the other side of the Gulf right there. I've spent a lot of time there.

00:14:00.880 My brother spent two and a half years there.

00:14:03.580 I don't know how much time you spent there.

00:14:04.880 Probably not too much.

00:14:06.180 But it's like something that I'm still very familiar.

00:14:08.200 Not personally, but a ton of friends and family have passed through.

00:14:12.660 And there's a lot of families that were stationed there.

00:14:14.720 Last I heard, I think that they evacuated the families

00:14:17.000 because it's not off the table for them to take a strike. 0.92

00:14:20.860 But I still think that would probably be the worst thing that Iran could do. 0.97

00:14:24.320 But I would see us having a pretty significant strike, 1.00

00:14:27.640 sinking everything in the Persian Gulf 1.00

00:14:29.900 that's Iranian that floats, right? 1.00

00:14:32.220 As far as the Iranian military goes

00:14:33.700 and anything that's in the air,

00:14:35.500 if it flies, it dies.

00:14:36.920 It's, you're most likely going to see,

00:14:39.940 you know, keep in mind,

00:14:40.940 like most of the Iranian air force

00:14:42.860 are old assets that we sold to them

00:14:46.540 back before the revolution.

00:14:48.440 I remember even one time.

00:14:49.560 They have those, you know,

00:14:50.960 they have those F,

00:14:51.780 the ton of F-4 Phantoms that we sent over.

00:14:54.760 F-14s.

00:14:55.120 Reagan even sold some,

00:14:56.060 And what was the F-14s that were sent over to the Tomcats?

00:15:00.160 So, you know, and a lot of them, by the way, weren't set with because we stopped, of course, the resupply and maintenance program.

00:15:06.920 So, you know, that's been one of the big issues for the Iranian Air Force is how do they do the procurement for the maintenance of those aircraft,

00:15:14.260 of those American aircraft when they don't have access to American defense contractors?

00:15:18.740 Yeah, no, it's absolutely right. 1.00

00:15:19.800 Matter of fact, I remember getting overflown very low by an Iranian P-3 that we had sold to them years ago. 1.00

00:15:26.620 They got so close to me. 1.00

00:15:27.940 I was on a ship when we were crossing through the Strait of Hormuz, which is the entrance to the Persian Gulf.

00:15:32.180 I could see the pilot.

00:15:33.700 I actually thought it was a friendly American one.

00:15:35.800 And then I saw the paint on it. 0.63

00:15:36.860 I'm like, that doesn't look like one of ours. 1.00

00:15:38.480 And I realized it was an Iranian one. 1.00

00:15:40.260 But to give you a whole idea, you see all those destroyers out there. 1.00

00:15:44.620 You see the Spruance, the Mike Murphy, the Mitcher. 0.70

00:15:48.340 Oh, the Mitcher's there.

00:15:49.440 All right. The McFall, you see all these ships that are out there and each one of those are full of VLS launchers.

00:15:55.940 They're going to launch T-Lams out there. You're going to see lots of long range strikes and you're probably going to see the Israelis join on and join along as well. 0.93

00:16:04.140 There's obviously been a lot of cooperation there.

00:16:06.000 But I think one thing that's really important to emphasize here, Jack, especially to the guys and gals that are watching that are very much justifiably wary of there being a prolonged conflict with Iran, that's not happening.

00:16:21.500 What you see here is you're looking at air and naval assets strikes.

00:16:25.180 You're not seeing any boots on the ground.

00:16:27.080 I think the people who really think that there's going to be some massive troop movement, we're going to invade Iran, that's not happening.

00:16:33.660 It's not even being considered. 0.86

00:16:35.000 So it's one of those things where we could expect some sort of chaos through proxies. What's left of Hezbollah might do something. They might try to, but they've been effectively neutral already. 0.99

00:16:45.900 Well, Tom, Tom, on that point, there were reports last night of Israel conducting strikes in southern Lebanon on Hezbollah proxies and some of their facilities down there, some of their sites.

00:16:58.120 So, I mean, those are the types of things that you would see as a potential shaping operation.

00:17:03.640 They're setting the table then for being able to deny the retaliatory efforts that they could expect should the decision be made.

00:17:12.960 So, again, and I just want to put this out there for everybody. We are seeing all of the indicators, right? Indications and warnings.

00:17:21.220 IMW in the intel community is what we would say. We're seeing the indications and warnings that the United States and our allies in the Middle East are gearing up for a round of strikes within Iran.

00:17:33.700 And this is real. This is real world. Obviously, the president can change his mind at any time, but we are certainly seeing actions that would be taken in, you know, in really, I mean, look, Tom, the fact that they pulled the ships out is a huge indicator to me. 0.65

00:17:51.020 you know they're not gonna they're some of those are small boats by the way there's those coast

00:17:54.600 guard ships there um you know so some of those ships aren't exactly designed to remain at sea

00:17:59.500 for that long so that would lead me to believe that either number one either strikes are imminent

00:18:05.440 or number two it's just a head fake and they want iran to think that strikes are imminent

00:18:10.100 that's absolutely absolutely true but i mean if i were the iranians right now i i i'd get my tail

00:18:16.800 to Geneva right now and start talking and start and start striking a deal right now because

00:18:22.080 everything is on the table for uh what could be end up becoming what would provoke the end of

00:18:27.640 the Iranian regime which you know I mean yeah are there risks associated with that sure but um

00:18:33.360 right now I think massive risk and Tom right right before we go to break here yeah I want to go 0.95

00:18:37.780 through and just guys full screen that map for a second you know this we're showing we're laying

00:18:42.740 the forced laydown. This is nuclear sites. We're looking at air defense. We're also looking at

00:18:52.460 potential military sites as well in Iran and oil sites, by the way, the red, that's an oil

00:18:58.880 refinery. So multiple sites that the United States could take action at and Israel could

00:19:04.520 take action at in the opening salvo of certain strikes. Right back, Jack Posobiec, Thomas Sauer,

00:19:10.620 Human Events Daily.

00:19:12.740 talk about influences these are influences and uh they're friends of mine jack or so like where's

00:19:26.520 jack jack he's done a great job

00:19:29.600 all right jack so i'll be back live here human events daily we're walking through the forced

00:19:38.420 lay down in the Middle East, potential scenarios for an opening salvo.

00:19:42.600 We do have information now that Gerald Ford aircraft carrier has passed the Greek island

00:19:49.340 of Crete and could be off the coast of Israel very soon.

00:19:54.900 Some people are speculating that it could pass down in through the the Suez Canal and

00:20:00.080 down through the Red Sea and up into the Gulf, but also doesn't have to because it was sitting

00:20:05.180 there in the EastMed, that's within fighter range, that's within strike range of targets in parts of

00:20:11.060 Iran. And of course, we're seeing all of this layout. We also see, by the way, that the Islamic

00:20:17.800 Republic has managed to reactivate some of its Russian-made S-300 long-range air defense systems

00:20:24.260 outside of Tehran, Isfahan. These are some of the major, obviously, Tehran, the capital,

00:20:29.520 Isfahan, their major air base. So we're seeing a lot of these, just a lot of these preparations

00:20:35.020 set up for potential strikes within Iran.

00:20:39.200 Tom, I want to also talk to you about the fact,

00:20:41.260 you know, you mentioned that you don't think

00:20:42.500 it's going to be prolonged.

00:20:43.760 And even in the 12-day war,

00:20:45.500 and I guess we're referring to it

00:20:46.780 as the 12-day war of 2025 now,

00:20:49.400 that the thing with air defense is

00:20:52.120 it's not a video game.

00:20:53.420 It's, you know, these air defense missiles,

00:20:55.800 the SM3s, THAAD missiles,

00:20:58.100 Patriot missile batteries, Iron Dome,

00:21:00.840 these are not unlimited in supply.

00:21:03.000 They're also very expensive.

00:21:05.020 And so the longer you conduct operations, the longer you're taking incoming, the weaker your air defense becomes.

00:21:12.520 And we even had indications that by the by day 12 of the 12 day war that the Iron Dome was only operating at 50 percent shoot down capacity.

00:21:21.660 And so this creates a major issue.

00:21:24.020 That's why, by the way, you're seeing so many of those destroyers, because you mentioned before, a lot of them have the tea lambs, the tomahawks.

00:21:30.520 But I would be willing to wager that some are set for a tomahawk land attack and a bunch of those others are set for missile defense with the with the SM3 interceptor set up.

00:21:41.620 So that's that's the force protection lay down, lay down, because you've got to protect those carriers.

00:21:47.320 Those carriers are sitting ducks for any of these, you know, anything in one of these scenarios.

00:21:52.000 So, Tom, walk us through that picture, because the longer that, you know, we're talking weeks here, 12 days, so 14 days, 21 days, one month, this could get really hairy really quick.

00:22:05.700 Yeah, I think it could. But guess what? I mean, both the United States and also Israel has been has been spending a lot of time on intelligence.

00:22:14.920 Right. And we're pretty good at a lot of this intelligence, military intelligence, like where all the assets are.

00:22:20.220 And the Israelis themselves are very good.

00:22:22.320 And obviously, we like to share information with each other.

00:22:24.760 So the way I would see this going down, and again, I don't have any special knowledge,

00:22:28.620 but I've got a little bit of experience on how these things work.

00:22:31.300 And what you're going to see is first, you're going to see eliminating enemy air defenses

00:22:35.740 right away.

00:22:37.040 Not unlike what we saw back on January 3rd with Venezuela, right?

00:22:42.160 That's a big country as well.

00:22:43.320 You're going to see absolutely eliminating all the radar sites, all the missile sites,

00:22:46.900 eliminating that. 0.97

00:22:47.340 But then what you're most likely going to see is just the destruction of every single offensive capability that Iran has. 0.71

00:22:56.920 And you mentioned earlier how in preparation for possibly a Hezbollah attack, how all of a sudden, you know, the Israelis started hitting all these sites shaping operations again in southern Lebanon.

00:23:06.660 so i'm pretty sure if uh you know if our guys know what they're doing and last i checked they do

00:23:12.220 is uh right now they're preparing that the next set of the next set of attacks can be hit take

00:23:17.780 out all the air defenses and then once they're completely vulnerable is take away any and all

00:23:22.080 offensive capability that the iranians have which will make it so that the iran the israelis might

00:23:27.860 not have to defend themselves against very much so that's one of the things i see that's those

00:23:32.580 ballistic missile sites that folks are looking at right now. So you're looking at those ballistic

00:23:36.960 missiles. Those are. And for folks who understand, these are the ones Marco Rubio, Secretary Rubio

00:23:41.840 was talking about this. I think it was the night of the State of the Union or either the morning

00:23:45.680 after when he said, look, you know, Iran doesn't have intercontinental ballistics that can range

00:23:50.440 the U.S. homeland. But what they do have are short range, medium range, which means they can

00:23:55.140 they could hit Europe. They could hit all of our bases within the area. Of course, all of our assets

00:24:00.440 And, of course, our, you know, our partners there in Israel would also potentially be in the range.

00:24:08.500 That's exactly what they are designed to do.

00:24:11.380 So, of course, Israel, this is something, by the way, that Netanyahu has been pressing.

00:24:14.400 He's been to the White House multiple times now and really pressing that. 0.51

00:24:18.460 Look, you know, and this and this is going to be a point of contention, I'm sure, by the way, that Israel wants a full on regime change.

00:24:25.940 Whereas we know President Trump was saying, look, this is really just about the nuclear program. 0.50

00:24:31.400 J.D. Vance came out yesterday and said this is about them, preventing them and their ability to continue this program.

00:24:38.260 And, you know, the status of the fizzle material, it's been buried.

00:24:42.720 But what is actually going to be happening to it?

00:24:45.880 Yeah, I think it's a huge point. 0.78

00:24:47.040 I mean, I think you'll also see us taking out whatever is left of the Iran nuclear program. 0.94

00:24:53.580 And even if that means just making some rubble bounce so it's no longer accessible, I think

00:24:58.940 you could probably see that as well.

00:25:01.040 And then also keep in mind, another aspect of this is we would probably see, just from

00:25:07.120 a psychological standpoint, you might see an oil price shock, right?

00:25:10.780 Because a good chunk of the worth of something like, I want to say two-thirds, I could be

00:25:15.780 wrong about that, but a good chunk of the world's oil, not the United States' oil,

00:25:20.780 The world's oil comes through the Strait of Hormuz, which is the entrance to the Persian Gulf.

00:25:26.340 And you'll even notice that if you go look at the map, you write that choke point is you've got Bondur Abbas, which is an Iranian naval base. 0.50

00:25:33.280 Pretty sure it's Bondur Abbas.

00:25:35.380 And you're right there. 0.87

00:25:37.140 Yeah.

00:25:37.420 So, OK, good.

00:25:38.240 I still remember it.

00:25:39.700 And then you see, like, that choke point at the Strait of Hormuz, it's only about 13 miles wide at its most narrow point, if memory serves.

00:25:47.640 It's really narrow.

00:25:48.680 That's a huge choke point there. 0.63

00:25:50.200 And if the one of the plans that we always had to think about is, hey, if things really pop off with Iran, which looks like something might happen, that you would see that the Iranians would either mine the Strait of Hormuz or at least let others think that they're mining the Strait of Hormuz because you don't need to actually mine it. 0.81

00:26:10.640 You just have to let people think it's been mined. 0.74

00:26:12.520 They could just throw barrels of oil barrels.

00:26:15.040 Yeah. They'll send their freighters, send a couple of barges out full of barrels, 0.99

00:26:19.180 send a couple of freighters out. And guess what? You can't roll the dice because you're talking

00:26:23.100 about, you're talking about a super carrier, a super tanker full of petroleum that you can't

00:26:29.440 take that risk. So now you've got to park and wait for someone, you know, some poor schlub to

00:26:34.440 go out there and, and figure it out. Well, you know what they say, Tom, any ship can be a 0.96

00:26:38.920 minesweeper once Tom Sauer, let people know where they can let people know where they go find you,

00:26:43.940 buddy yeah man uh catch me uh on uh x.com at thomas b sour thomas b sour you know they also

00:26:53.380 say every ship can be a submarine one time we'll be right back here human events daily

00:27:13.940 where's jack where's jack where is he jack i want to see you

00:27:26.020 great job jack thank you what a job you do you know we have an incredible thing we're always

00:27:33.480 talking about the fake news and the bad but we have guys and these are the guys who'll be getting

00:27:38.440 All right, folks, Jack Posobiec, we're back here. Human Events Daily, Real America's Voice. Folks,

00:27:52.040 America is entering its 250th year, and the direction of this country is being decided

00:27:57.560 right now in our culture and our economy, and who we choose to support matters more than ever.

00:28:03.920 And let me tell you something, folks. Most wireless companies, they don't care who you are.

00:28:07.700 They don't care what you believe.

00:28:08.920 They just want your money, your dinero.

00:28:11.680 Patriot Mobile, they're different.

00:28:13.280 For more than 12 years, they've stood with Americans who believe freedom is worth defending.

00:28:51.480 Patriot Mobile will even offer a contract buyout.

00:28:54.700 2026 is a defining year.

00:28:56.280 We must work together to save our country.

00:28:58.820 Go to PatriotMobile.com slash POSO or call 972-PATRIOT.

00:29:03.400 Use promo code POSO for a free month of service.

00:29:05.980 That's PatriotMobile.com slash POSO or 972-PATRIOT and switch today.

00:29:12.600 All right, folks, I want to go back down to Mexico because we're looking at the fallout, the aftermath of everything that took place there.

00:29:24.260 This horrific, these horrific cartel attacks.

00:29:28.480 And we've got Oscar Blue Ramirez, who's now live on the scene in Guadalajara.

00:29:33.140 Oscar, how are you?

00:29:34.820 Good, good, Jeff.

00:29:35.680 We arrived here yesterday at 2 o'clock in the morning, and as soon as we arrived, Jack, we received the news that four vehicles were recently being burned.

00:29:44.760 The city of Guadalajara is still on high alert, but ultimately in the parts of Vallarta and the tourist areas, it has already been controlled by the federal government and a huge deployment of Marines and huge deployment by federal officers.

00:29:58.560 But in several parts, in rural areas and in the countryside, it is still on high alert because that is where these criminal organizations have more presence, Jack.

00:30:10.340 And so tell us about this conflagration, this shootout, 25 National Guardsmen up against the cartel.

00:30:20.240 What do we know? What happened? And what was the outcome?

00:30:22.720 25 national heroes from mexico they died jack on this mission that it was provided you know in

00:30:30.440 collaboration with the intelligence of the american government and they went over there knowing that

00:30:35.180 there was a huge possibility that they were not going to come back they risked their lives and

00:30:40.580 25 of them got killed and gunned down we were just today on a funeral honor services of one state

00:30:47.220 official that it was honored by the city of Guadalajara who died on this confrontation.

00:30:52.900 The other thing about it is that all these communities have been safeguarded, but, you

00:30:58.060 know, you have the family members that they, you know, they're hurting right now, Jack,

00:31:01.900 more than 25 of them, they died.

00:31:04.320 And, you know, Nemesio Ceguera, El Mencho, was critically hurt, transported on a helicopter

00:31:10.580 from this part of Tepalpa that we are going to go today to this city that he was located,

00:31:16.000 and he died on his way on a helicopter to Mexico City.

00:31:21.840 And walk me through that.

00:31:24.080 How does that happen?

00:31:24.960 Twenty five National Guardsmen.

00:31:27.080 Do we know what was the size of the force they were up against?

00:31:30.260 How many people did the cartel have and how well equipped were they

00:31:33.420 that they were able to take out so many National Guardsmen?

00:31:36.580 I have said this before, Jack, and it is a reality under the Biden administration.

00:31:40.440 And this criminal organization grew two times bigger on technology, on territory, on land, economically.

00:31:47.660 And, you know, they grew so much.

00:31:49.360 The CJNG grew so much because of the financial, you know, gain that they were getting on the enormous trafficking of children,

00:31:55.340 trafficking of humans throughout the whole north borders that connect to the United States of America.

00:31:59.820 When they encounter these people, you're facing high technology weapons.

00:32:03.720 You're facing drones.

00:32:04.580 You're facing rocket launchers.

00:32:06.480 You're facing all these Mad Max vehicles.

00:32:08.400 It is not going against your average, typical mercenary group.

00:32:13.060 These are former, some of them, former military that they have changed and they have betrayed the country and gone to work with the organized crime.

00:32:21.360 And some of these individuals, they're recruited minors that the cartel has been recruiting for so many years.

00:32:27.560 And they face, you know, between life and death expectancy when they go against the military.

00:32:32.320 So it was it was horrible.

00:32:34.620 You know, 25 National Guardsmen died, but the whole mission, it was to execute and detain Nemesio Seguera El Mencho, Jack.

00:32:44.060 And you look at their, you look at their forced laydown, you look at the equipment that they have.

00:32:49.480 I mean, what this really, it seems to me that this is beyond the gang level activity that we see in the United States and U.S. cities and U.S. crime.

00:32:58.160 This is the Mexican military going up against a rival military, isn't it?

00:33:02.780 This is complete terrorism. Just about what happened on Sunday, an organization, a union of truck drivers released a statement saying that more than 400 infraction and close to 500 infraction trucks, semi-trucks were burned just in one day, Jack.

00:33:21.900 That tells you the level of power, the level of terrorism that they can execute to a population and to a city.

00:33:29.040 And not only that, you know, what happened in Tepalpa, the executions, the terrorism, they're still continuing.

00:33:35.500 Just yesterday, still there were, you know, there was a confrontation where two civilians died and one was arrested.

00:33:42.600 And guess from what country this guy was working with the cartels?

00:33:46.280 He was arrested and the entity was from Colombia.

00:33:48.720 They have people recruited from all parts of the continent, recruited minors, that these people are mercenary and they're ready to go one on one with the National Guard men and with the federal federal authorities of Mexico, Jack.

00:34:02.560 Well, it's clear they've become a shadow government. They have their own military.

00:34:06.880 They have their own laws. They have their own rules, codes.

00:34:11.200 They have their own police force, even. I mean, this is something where you've lost sovereignty.

00:34:16.920 You've lost control over parts of the country, parts of the city.

00:34:20.700 That's exactly what the cartels are trying to do.

00:34:24.100 And in many cases, these were reprisals.

00:34:26.940 I think you were telling us there was even part of the shootout took place in someone's home.

00:34:30.740 Is that correct?

00:34:32.320 Yes.

00:34:32.660 Well, it was in the interior of Nemesio Seguera.

00:34:35.540 And we're about to go to that particular place.

00:34:38.280 It is three hours from where we are located.

00:34:41.120 You know, it's one thing that I need to highlight, Jack.

00:34:43.520 After this confrontation and after the 25 national guardsmen, the Mexican national guardsmen that they have died, Mexicans have gained a little bit of respect and trust to the government.

00:34:54.460 In some places, there are viral videos where the military is arriving to displace and to remove, you know, and to secure the citizens.

00:35:01.900 And the people are yelling, Viva Mexico, thank you so much for coming.

00:35:04.760 This tells you that because of the pressure of the United States of America, the Trump administration, and also the collaboration between Marco Rubio and the president of Mexico, look what the result is.

00:35:16.980 It is huge.

00:35:18.360 The result is that the atmosphere in Mexico is completely changing, is graphically getting into a positive atmosphere that it can lead to positivity and removing these organized groups in several areas in Mexico.

00:35:30.380 what else can the united states provide in this war on the cartels well ultimately at the end of

00:35:40.540 the day they're collaborating enough and they are doing more than enough providing a lot of

00:35:46.300 intelligence but i think that the trump administration and also marco rubio need to

00:35:51.560 pressure more cladish inbound because we know the real terrorists and those are the ones that

00:35:55.700 are wearing the suit in the tie those are the ones that they need to be exposed critically

00:35:59.820 expose the ties that they have to the Senate, the ties that they have to the Congress, the ties that

00:36:04.660 they have to the organized crime and the cartel. And at the end of the day, Jack, the ties that

00:36:09.560 they possibly have with dirty politicians in the United States of America, majority leftists,

00:36:15.120 that they are lean to that. That is the end game, to find the rabbit hole to where this corruption

00:36:20.000 goes to. This is absolutely huge. Oscar, there's no rules of engagement for the cartels. We know

00:36:28.820 they'll attack weddings, they'll attack funerals. It's a zero-sum game for them. And it doesn't

00:36:33.000 matter if it's a rival gang or the military. They want to go after military, after police.

00:36:38.520 That's the point because they want power, isn't it? Yes, absolutely. They want power. They want

00:36:43.980 territory. And these burning of vehicles, they want to send a message that they still have control

00:36:48.240 over communities that ultimately, at the end of the day, they still want to send a message that

00:36:52.920 they're still in charge. And they're not going to be easily to be displaced. By little by little,

00:36:57.680 the federal government of Mexico, with the collaboration of the United States, this pressure,

00:37:02.500 it is inevitably putting pressure on them to see how they are going to re-structure this criminal

00:37:08.860 organization, because that is the other speculation. Who's going to be in charge? Who's going to let

00:37:13.140 this criminal organization? They're trying, the federal government is trying to object to that

00:37:18.360 and destroy completely this criminal organization once and for all, Jack.

00:39:24.440 I spent a year in Ambar province watching the dysfunction.

00:39:28.380 It was totally pointless to be there. 0.65

00:39:31.520 Wow. Here we go from David.

00:39:34.320 Trump needs to leave Iran alone.

00:39:35.980 American foreign policy needs to be focused on safety and prosperity for America here at home.

00:39:40.880 Americans had little to no success in regime change.

00:39:43.660 Regime change in Iran would be an utter failure.

00:39:46.040 No amount of neocon thinking can change that.

00:39:48.740 Neocons never think about the consequences of their actions.

00:39:51.680 What if Iran closes the Strait of Hormuz? 0.80

00:39:53.940 Global economic recession?

00:39:55.600 What if Iran strikes or even sinks a capital U.S. warship?

00:39:59.020 What if this escalates into a massive regional war?

00:40:02.120 Americans do not want another war.

00:40:03.840 They want to fix the problems with the American economy.

00:40:05.980 They want accountability for rampant financial fraud.

00:40:08.220 And they want people held accountable for Jeffrey Epstein.

00:40:12.360 All right, we have one here from Janet.

00:40:14.260 Jeanette, I do not want war with Iran, nor do I want the U.S. to be responsible for a regime change.

00:40:20.840 Stay out of it.

00:40:22.720 These are flying in.

00:40:24.440 This one is in from McKenzie.

00:40:29.000 Wow.

00:40:30.200 In Texas, she says, I don't care about the Iranian regime.

00:40:34.080 I'm pregnant with my third child.

00:40:35.840 I'm a stay-at-home mom.

00:40:37.340 We can't afford anything except the essentials, thank the Lord. 1.00

00:40:40.600 My entire hometown is filled with Muslims and Indians. 1.00

00:40:43.380 I don't think we'll own a home until we're in our 40s.

00:40:46.260 So no, I don't care about Iran.

00:40:48.180 I miss Charlie.

00:40:49.280 Keep up the great work.

00:40:50.400 We've been praying for you.

00:40:51.420 Charlie would be proud of you.

00:40:52.880 And free email, Mackenzie.

00:40:54.860 And you hear a lot of that.

00:40:56.300 And you're seeing, by the way, I've talked about this.

00:41:00.240 I was in Politico, did an interview this week,

00:41:02.740 talking about Charlie, his legacy on this question

00:41:06.380 back June, the 12-day war, where Charlie was very clear

00:41:10.320 The Gen Z and younger voters, anyone under and younger citizens, 45, 40 and under are totally opposed to more action in the Middle East and that it tends to be it tends to be people who are older that have more of a willingness to do this.

00:41:27.820 But this is something that Gen Z is totally adamantly opposed to.

00:41:31.700 And that email from Mackenzie, my gosh, pregnant with her third, stay-at-home mom.

00:41:37.780 And she's saying, we don't think we can afford a home until we're in our 40s.

00:41:42.180 And you just hear about this stuff.

00:41:44.640 Here's one from Ryan.

00:41:45.780 Absolutely not. 0.55

00:41:46.380 The U.S. military is not a means of salvation for foreigners. 1.00

00:41:49.320 We have enough of our own problems. 0.86

00:41:50.520 America first.

00:41:53.200 Nick in Montana says, howdy from Montana, Jack.

00:41:55.960 God bless you.

00:41:56.880 I think President Trump has proven himself trustworthy in these matters.

00:42:00.460 Gone are the days of endless wars, which cost us dearly.

00:42:03.080 When Trump uses our military, it's as a last resort and has the best interests of America in mind.

00:42:08.860 Plus, he unties our military's hands, giving them the freedom to use its might to get the job done.

00:42:13.780 He's over and over shown his respect for our troops and doesn't want them needlessly put in harm's way,

00:42:18.580 praying for the people of Iran, our troops, Israel, and, of course, America.

00:42:22.980 Here's one from Isaiah.

00:42:24.440 Wholeheartedly oppose U.S. involvement in Iran.

00:42:26.720 Every time the U.S. gets involved in the Middle East, it never ends well, and it only benefits the investment class and war stocks.

00:42:35.200 We send our sons and daughters to die in some godforsaken land for reasons not clearly explained to the American people.

00:42:41.460 And, in fact, when we invaded Iraq under Bush, you were thrown off TV for voicing any form of dissent.

00:42:48.000 And, I mean, folks, that's exactly what I'm talking about.

00:42:50.920 So you see this split.

00:42:52.480 You see this dichotomy.

00:42:53.720 And, you know, we're all over the country with this.

00:42:56.920 Tanya Tate's saying that she loves when we read the emails from all over.

00:43:00.760 And we really do get them from all over, even all over the world.

00:43:02.980 People, we're listening to the program from all sorts of corners.

00:43:07.320 They're in there.

00:43:08.500 I'll pull some up that are just coming in online right now.

00:43:11.780 Stephen, who I know is, I believe, in Idaho, he says, no, it'll just lead to war.

00:43:17.540 I already know.

00:43:18.860 We're slowly walking in this direction.

00:43:20.720 How do I know?

00:43:21.240 Military members are deployed.

00:43:23.720 Someone says, no, we should start Pop 420.

00:43:26.900 No, I support passing the SAVE Act.

00:43:31.000 Someone here, nope, this will end GOP or this will end Trump's presidency.

00:43:38.700 David says, explain the reasons why and the strategy and the goal.

00:43:42.520 Then I will let you know.

00:43:44.780 Daily Digest, not our fight.

00:43:48.460 Rudy comes in and says, heck yes.

00:43:51.200 Guitar Dude 2024.

00:43:52.480 absolutely not let's see gabriella writes in and says i think escalating with strikes inside iran

00:43:59.880 will just lead to more chaos better to push for smarter diplomacy and de-escalation first uh here's

00:44:06.020 one from magica only if israel strikes first and the iranians retaliate they have to shed some 0.56

00:44:11.180 blood for us let's see let's see from miss d no no no have we not learned a thing in the last 0.51

00:44:19.900 three decades let israel send their soldiers we lost thousands of our men in iraq israel lost

00:44:24.640 zero let's see conservative black brilliance writes nope not our fight mexico and cuba yes 0.51

00:44:31.160 they have killed and have trapped americans and so you you're you're really getting this just

00:44:36.620 all over you know again we're seeing all this uh right here from from hondle he says i stand with

00:44:43.520 Charlie, he was a wise man. And I agree with what he said. Wish he was still here. Well, it

00:44:49.400 certainly goes for all of us. And I'm sure certainly we can all say that we wish Charlie

00:44:55.140 was still here. And, and people need to remember that this is something that Charlie

00:45:00.920 adamantly opposed in terms of, but what did he say? And I'm not going to put words in Charlie's

00:45:07.220 mouth and I'm not going to try to, you know, change or edit anything he said. It was very clear.

00:45:13.520 If there was a threat like the nuclear program, he supported that intervention strictly to

00:45:20.220 take out the nuclear program and then come home, which he later then came out afterwards.

00:45:25.700 And I remember because I was on air with him, I talked to him every day.

00:45:28.600 You can go back and watch all the videos.

00:45:30.560 It's all still there.

00:45:31.260 The entire body of work is still there.

00:45:32.740 So he supported that.

00:45:33.880 He supported that because that was the American military using its power to take a regional

00:45:38.980 and international threat off the board.

00:45:41.640 But what he adamantly opposed was the idea of regime change.

00:45:46.520 He said that it was lunacy, and he went after Lindsey Graham very hard.

00:45:50.140 There's clips upon clips of this saying that this is not the way, this isn't America's

00:45:54.740 fight, and you have no idea what will come afterwards, that no one can tell you what

00:46:00.060 will come afterwards in a regime collapse scenario in Iran.

00:46:04.480 And anyone who says they can is just not telling you the truth.

00:46:08.520 They are being deceitful.

00:46:10.780 Some more emails in here.

00:46:12.380 This one's in from Mike in New Jersey.

00:46:15.640 Personally, I think the president should concentrate on the save bill, getting that passed, getting the tariffs back, making sure the Dems don't take over in the fall.

00:46:22.780 As far as the Middle East, Iran, it is what it is. 0.52

00:46:25.220 Jesus will come back and fix that mess once and for all. 1.00

00:46:27.980 Nobody else will.

00:46:29.120 This one from Chris in New Hampshire writes, absolutely not.

00:46:33.840 The country is waking up to the manipulation.

00:46:36.840 We feel that Trump is losing support.

00:46:39.120 Regime change in Iran is overwhelmingly unpopular with the public.

00:46:43.400 But unfortunately, there are other countries that have too much influence over American

00:46:47.360 politics for far too long.

00:46:49.020 We need to root this out.

00:46:51.080 And so you're seeing a lot of people have this split on this issue.

00:46:55.580 And I understand that.

00:46:57.060 And that's why we're sitting up here and saying, look, I just did the whole the whole piece

00:47:01.460 of this, the whole and go back and watch it.

00:47:03.740 We'll actually have to go and post those links yet again for Tales of Regime Change that we did right here on Human Events Day.

00:47:11.920 It was down at Liberty University.

00:47:13.000 We did an entire panel, two-hour-long discussion.

00:47:16.680 Myself, Joshua Lysak, as well as a retired Navy Intelligence Admiral, and, of course, the great Dave Bratt, who brought us in.

00:47:23.820 We'll be getting the video from that at some point to be able to get it to you, put it up as a special episode or something.

00:47:30.260 Last minute, we got one in. 0.57

00:47:31.460 This is comes in from a destroy the nuclear capabilities, degrade the state sponsorship of terrorism.

00:47:36.600 Let the people of Iran decide the regime change questions who are getting getting all your emails in.

00:47:42.100 And thank you for that. 1776 humanevents.com.

00:47:45.840 Ladies and gentlemen, as always, you have my permission to lay ashore.
