00:00:47.560 Navy intelligence veteran. This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec. Christ is king.
00:00:53.720 A man believed to be Somalian has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after this knife attack in the Kinnared Avenue area of North Belfast.
00:01:07.340 The attack left the victim with significant injuries to his face, neck and back.
00:01:15.020 The injured man, aged in his 40s, is right now in hospital.
00:01:19.660 His condition is described as serious.
00:01:22.360 The defense rested its case, calling six witnesses over a span of around two days.
00:01:28.480 Among the final witnesses is a 17-year-old who was asked to demonstrate what he said he saw
00:01:33.560 in the moments leading up to the stabbing of Austin Metcalf. Carmelo Anthony did not take
00:01:39.300 the witness stand to testify. So now we need to focus on what happens next. This morning
00:01:44.480 will be those closing arguments for the state and for the defense with the burden of proof
00:01:48.680 resting on the prosecution with respect to charlie kirk have you all taken any position since charlie
00:01:55.720 kirk to where we unequivocally condemned the murder of charlie kirk what about the listing

00:02:23.560 of young men outside of a store a large group of police officers eventually stepped in to break it
00:02:28.380 up and they were also seen making several arrests this morning we've asked nypd exactly how many
00:02:34.220 people were arrested following the game because we saw several men taken into custody nypd hasn't
00:02:39.260 responded with an exact number of arrests or the charges they'll face president donald trump
00:02:45.020 Becomes the first sitting United States president to attend an NBA Finals game.
00:02:49.660 Long time Nick fan.
00:02:50.760 Certainly liked what he saw here.
00:02:52.940 His brush rise and bright stars through the playoffs.
00:03:06.700 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome on board.
00:03:08.320 Today's edition of Human Events Daily.
00:03:10.380 We're here live on the great Real America's Voice Network.
00:03:15.020 We're streaming around the world, around the globe.
00:03:18.260 Today is June 9th, 2026, and O'Dominate.
00:03:22.640 And here we are, after we spent a week discussing the brutal murder and the police lack of response to Henry Novak in the UK. 0.91
00:03:33.880 We've yet another brutal act of migrant violence in the UK, this time in Belfast, Northern Ireland,
00:03:42.700 where there's an extremely houring video.
00:03:46.980 And we're going to play a blurred version of that video.
00:03:50.760 Because if you recall, we sent Kevin Posobiec over to Ireland a couple of weeks ago.
00:03:57.660 He had mass protests going on.
00:03:59.860 And the media was attacking him and attacking yours truly saying,
00:04:04.020 why are the Posobiec brothers obsessed with Ireland?
00:04:07.500 Why are they obsessed with the migrants?
00:04:10.720 What could it be?
00:04:11.860 What could possess them to want to talk about this, you might ask.
00:04:17.880 Here we have a video of a migrant attempting to behead this Belfast man there in the street when a group of heroes run up, get him off before police can even respond.
00:04:36.120 A group of heroes run up and save his life.
00:04:38.940 there's an invasion in your own lands for ireland for the uk for europe for the entire west
00:04:49.020 understand what time it is understand what part of the movie you're in i don't care what names
00:04:57.460 you call us i don't care what labels you write i don't care what hit pieces you want to put up
00:05:03.100 in any newspaper. You got SPLC. The SPLC won't even take Charlie Kirk's name off of their hate
00:05:10.460 map after he was shot and killed. So Charlie Kirk was shot and killed because of the lies of the
00:05:16.320 SPLC, but they won't take him off. They won't take him off the list. Why? Because what did
00:05:22.940 Charlie do? He spoke the truth and he didn't care. So I don't care either. I don't care about your
00:05:29.700 labels. I don't care about your narrative. You could shove it. They're chopping heads off in
00:05:36.220 the street. They're killing sons. They're raping daughters. It has to stop. And enough is enough. 1.00
00:05:46.320 We need full on remigration, not just mass deportations, remigration. 0.96
00:05:54.440 And I'm not talking just illegals. I'm talking about all these programs, all these specialists
00:05:59.360 travel this work at the Haitians, but get them out, get them all out. We don't want them here. 1.00
00:06:04.820 We don't need them here. We never needed them here. We never needed them here at all.
00:06:11.160 And it has to stop. The blood is running in the streets. I'm not even going to sit there. I don't
00:06:19.940 even want to have a conversation. I don't even want to have a conversation about, oh, this was
00:06:23.820 done because then there was this just it's enough enough is enough is enough
00:06:29.580 you can only push a people so far before they respond and it's time to respond their time to
00:06:41.380 respond is now this is time for the cold rage that nigel farage was talking about now is the
00:06:49.680 time for people to stand up to these anti-whites, to stand up for your families, stand up for your 0.58
00:06:56.080 towns, stand up for your neighborhood, stand up for your country, stand up for your nation
00:07:00.140 and say, we're done. We're completely done. And it's time for a response.

00:08:51.840 We always get asked to have him back on. His book is currently number 16 on the Amazon charts. Yes,
00:08:59.180 that's right. I checked. It's called We Do a Little Preparation Before We Have Guests On.
00:09:04.560 And it's Revolution by Eric Metaxas, the birth of the greatest nation in the history of the world.
00:09:11.340 And yes, it is the super centennial version.
00:09:14.940 Eric, how are you?
00:09:16.500 I'm great.
00:09:17.360 It's funny you bring up the Amazon rank.
00:09:19.100 The book has been selling so much, and I'm not kidding because President Trump just endorsed it, that they cannot keep it in stock.
00:09:26.680 So when you look on Amazon, they're like, well, we can't ship it to you till, you know, for two weeks or something.
00:09:31.320 So people are not ordering it.
00:09:32.700 it was number three it was number three on amazon right because they they won't even take i know
00:09:38.840 you're talking about they won't even take orders for it until they get it in stock which is actually
00:09:42.260 very annoying and i've run into that before as well yes but i mean people can get it anywhere
00:09:46.900 else but the good news is it has been selling like crazy i know the president's uh endorsement
00:09:52.840 had something to do with that but you know i've just been talking about it everywhere i'm excited
00:09:57.580 about it very excited about it jack and it fits into the narrative of what you were just talking
00:10:02.580 about. When I wrote this book, my goal was just to write a kind of a galloping, wonderful history
00:10:09.040 of the birth of America. What happened 250 years ago? There's not one volume where you can just
00:10:13.420 say, here, read this. This is the whole story, you know, from the run up to Lexington Concord
00:10:17.680 and the whole war. How did it happen? What are the stories? Who are the heroes? That was my goal
00:10:22.520 in writing the book. And that's what I started to do. But in the course of writing it, people kept
00:10:28.100 saying oh you're writing a book on the revolution what's your angle and i said i have no angle i'm
00:10:32.780 just going to tell the story because frankly americans need to know the story most of us
00:10:36.080 have forgotten it whatever we need to know this this is not optional this is on the test every
00:10:41.540 american needs to know this so that's why i'm writing the book but in the course of writing it
00:10:45.340 over and over and over again i saw things i said how come we don't all know this and the bottom
00:10:53.440 line is the christian roots of the founding of the united states of america are everywhere they are
00:11:01.280 inescapable every single person involved the the including the ones we think weren't so christian
00:11:08.320 every one of them got the narrative we are declaring independence from an earthly king
00:11:14.880 and we are declaring our dependence on the king of kings that's the only way this can succeed all the
00:11:22.080 founders understood that this, you know, the Constitution, this way of doing things cannot
00:11:26.800 work unless people are moral and religious. They all got that. And so the reason the American
00:11:32.020 Revolution succeeded and the French Revolution dramatically did not succeed and ends in a
00:11:37.140 bloodbath that replaces a king with a dictator emperor is because we looked directly to God.
00:11:43.780 That is so inescapable that it just made me crazy as I'm doing the research. I thought,
00:11:48.120 how come every American doesn't know this? This is not a Christian point of view. 0.99
00:11:51.580 This is history. Every single one of the players involved in the story understood this narrative, understood the only way we could possibly even hope to succeed is by looking to God in everything, by trying to do what he's calling us to do.
00:12:06.340 So that overwhelmingly becomes at the heart of the book, even though that's not, you know, sort of what the book's about.
00:12:13.440 The book is just this great story. But if you read it, you're going to wonder, how have I not known this?
00:12:19.160 And of course, you haven't known it because they haven't taught it in schools.
00:12:22.100 You're not going to hear it on PBS.
00:12:23.780 So that's kind of why I'm really excited about getting this book out, because America, we're overdue in really understanding this.
00:12:30.840 And by the way, it just happens to be true.
00:12:33.720 Well, I love the fact that you're doing it in such a way.
00:12:36.280 You know, we we are getting our family and our two young boys very, very wrapped up in so much American history as it comes to the 250th.
00:12:46.640 They love hearing stories about George Washington.
00:12:49.400 They love hearing stories about the founders.
00:12:51.180 And we were we actually had this this video that, you know, was going around one of those short, you know, reels that you put up.
00:12:58.560 And it was that we were at the reflecting pool.
00:13:01.420 He went down to see the president.
00:13:02.660 He's obviously redone it and check it out, the status on Friday night.
00:13:06.680 And my son makes it because I was making a joke.
00:13:09.300 I said, I said, oh, you know, could we, you know, could we go swimming in it?
00:13:12.800 I heard it's a pool.
00:13:13.560 My son goes, no, we can't.
00:13:14.660 But he goes, but daddy, and it's off the top of his head, he goes, you could swim in the
00:13:19.160 Potomac like John Quincy Adams.
00:13:21.700 And it's just off the top of his head.
00:13:24.360 And so many people are commenting, how does your son know about that?
00:13:26.940 It's because that's the type of stories that we share with the kids on a regular basis,
00:13:32.000 because as it turns out, our founders were incredible people.
00:13:36.020 And the stories are amazing.
00:13:37.680 No, it's so funny because what I keep saying to people is that if you went around in 1960,
00:13:43.420 anywhere main street america and put a microphone somebody's face and ask them you know they knew
00:13:47.500 all of this stuff everybody in america knew all the players nathan hale henry knox samuel adams
00:13:54.740 down the line all these stories and all this stuff it was part of common culture it has drifted out
00:14:00.720 of the culture in our lifetime it's why we were you know on the lip of the abyss uh a couple of
00:14:07.160 years ago before president trump got back in because we have forgotten this stuff so i feel
00:14:11.060 like it's an assignment for every summer the only the only thing i would ask though was it
00:14:17.900 was it was it forgotten or drifted or was it pushed out of our culture all three all three
00:14:24.780 i mean obviously you know when i know it was pushed out mainly pushed out but so it makes
00:14:30.200 it harder to remember when you're not being reminded of it right and so you know there's
00:14:34.060 some families they know all about this stuff but most americans have missed it it's not in the
00:14:38.520 culture it's not in the schools i mean i learned this stuff in fifth grade but you know when you
00:14:43.680 move on you kind of you forget unless the culture is reminding you unless everybody is into this
00:14:49.220 celebrating this but you know the liberal elites decided we cannot celebrate america they're
00:14:53.780 wringing their hands if anybody had the misfortune of seeing ken burns's bbs series which i forced
00:14:58.280 myself to watch all 12 hours you know some of it is good but most of it is absolutely you can't even
00:15:04.260 make it up. They claim that democracy was created by the Iroquois. Now, I'm not joking. I'm not
00:15:11.580 joking. They tell the sad story of the Native Americans that sided with the British. And
00:15:17.080 by the time you're done watching this, you kind of feel like, you know, yeah, there was a war and
00:15:22.180 somebody won, but who's to say who was right? There's no joy. There's no joy in saying this
00:15:29.080 is one of the greatest stories in the history of the world, that God created a people who wanted
00:15:35.180 to govern themselves based on this crazy idea they got from the Bible that our rights come from God.
00:15:41.820 I mean, it's inescapable. It's beautiful. It's true. But you're not getting this happy version,
00:15:48.120 this heroic version. It's kind of like if somebody made a remake of Rocky, and by the time it was
00:15:52.120 over, you're like, yeah, two guys had a fight, and I don't know who the good guy was. They both
00:15:56.280 had a point of view. That's the liberals. They cannot rejoice in America. They cannot celebrate
00:16:01.720 America. They have to flagellate themselves and be guilty and say, yeah, we don't know anything.
00:16:07.720 And so here's some stories, but we don't really see a good guy. That to me is so dramatically
00:16:14.120 different from what my research basically showed me stuff that I'd never seen before, which is 0.96
00:16:18.480 including that the British elites were godless and wicked and cruel and cynical and corrupt. 0.73
00:16:26.360 I had never quite seen that, Jack. 0.97
00:16:28.320 And the Americans were like very serious, virtuous Christians.
00:16:32.780 Now, again, maybe not everybody, but overwhelmingly, that's the case with the elites in America who are fighting this war.
00:16:40.480 George Washington, John Adams, they knew that if we don't fight this war God's way, we want to honor God in how we fight.
00:16:48.100 The British were just the opposite, because the Americans actually believed in God.
00:16:51.580 God is with us in this noble cause, and if we honor him, he'll honor us.
00:16:55.080 That's covenant theology.
00:16:56.820 So it's the kind of stuff like every single American should know this, you know, like
00:17:01.500 we know who played last night, was it the Knicks?
00:17:04.840 We know, everybody American knows stuff.
00:17:07.660 We need to know this.
00:17:08.660 We used to know this.
00:17:09.660 We need to relearn it.
00:17:11.480 I couldn't agree more.
00:17:13.000 I mean, look, growing up in the Philadelphia region, every field trip was Valley Forge or Independence Hall or the Franklin Institute.
00:17:22.780 And you're just you're inundated with it. It's just all around you.
00:17:26.140 And so people say, you know, you know, Sobek, you know, where'd you where'd you get all this stuff?
00:17:29.840 I said, I just I thought this was what we all learned as kids.
00:17:32.860 I thought this is how we were supposed to live.
00:17:35.000 I thought this was what it meant to be an American.
00:17:37.360 And then you get to college and all the rest.
00:17:39.140 You see that you see that it's not quite such it's not quite so.
00:17:43.000 And I said, oh, gosh, I guess I'm the only one who actually, you know, believed it and actually thought that we should probably continue the project that these great men put forward.
00:17:53.220 And, you know, we talk about, you know, I've said it before again and again, but my my wife and I, we we got engaged at Valley Forge.
00:18:01.660 We had our wedding in a church right next right next to Valley Forge, right in Washington Chapel.
00:18:07.000 So, I mean, this is something that my parents also got married in a church.
00:18:10.540 I didn't know this. This is amazing.
00:18:12.400 Yeah, church, church down the road. Wow. Church down my parents. So my parents got married, met, met at Valley Forge, married in a church down the road from where we got married.
00:18:21.780 So it's just always been something that's been very, very personal for us and a huge part of our personal story that we always felt was tied to the legacy of the founders and always thought was tied to the legacy of those first veterans, those veterans who, if not for them going through that winter and going through those dark moments when they didn't have boots or money or food in many cases and said, you know what?
00:18:50.680 we're going to keep going anyway, even though we've lost New York and Boston and Philadelphia
00:18:54.940 and all the rest of it. We're going to keep going, and maybe we'll even cross the river
00:18:58.580 on Christmas night because we think that we are actually doing the right thing with God's
00:19:04.680 providence. Hold on right back. New book out by Eric Metaxas, Revolution. Incredible,
00:19:10.300 incredible piece, Human Events Daily.
00:19:20.680 talk about influences these are influences and uh they're friends of mine jack or so like where's
00:19:37.320 jack he's done a great job
00:19:40.420 all right folks jack posobiec human events daily real america's voice folks as we close in on the
00:19:50.380 election, and you see more and more shocking events happening around the world. And even at
00:19:54.180 home, I don't believe it's all a coincidence, and neither should you. Plus, as society faces
00:19:58.500 additional challenges, we see what's going on. We'll be talking to Ron in just a little bit.
00:20:02.260 But we know that that is going to push, that's going to have an effect on those gas prices. It
00:20:07.100 just will. We also know about the debt that's out there, the rising interest rates, the labor
00:20:11.160 disputes, other things that are happening around the world. Keep in mind that these factors further
00:20:15.800 strain our economy with escalating global tensions, threatening and disrupting vital
00:20:20.260 supply chains. There's a reason why so many patriots preserve their wealth with gold because
00:20:24.580 it stands on its own as a beacon of stability. And over the last five years, it's almost doubled
00:20:28.480 in value. Allegiance Gold has done things the right way from the beginning. So it's no coincidence

00:21:00.440 We're on with Eric Metaxas, his new book, Revolution.
00:21:03.300 I love this book because what you're doing is fighting back against an entire culture
00:21:08.800 that's calling upon us to hate our country, to hate our history, to say America's 250th.
00:21:14.260 oh, it's, you know, it's a mixed bag. You know, it's there's there's so much stuff that was bad
00:21:19.600 and stuff that we're working on. This, of course, is the progressive narrative. What you're doing
00:21:24.060 is going back and saying, no, no, it's not true. It's not true at all. It's always been an
00:21:29.600 incredible revolution, a revolution for freedom, a revolution for God, a revolution in the history
00:21:35.740 of man. And in fact, we should embrace the American Revolution and the founding fathers.
00:21:41.240 This is why, by the way, you go to places like Monticello that have been totally captured by the cultural Marxists, that they will sit there and do everything they can to undercut Thomas Jefferson's legacy.
00:21:53.780 And I, you know, we were at Mount Vernon recently, and I was kind of kind of comparing notes for between there and Monticello, sort of keep looking at it all with a critical eye.
00:22:02.540 They're still pretty good at Mount Vernon, but I'm keeping an eye on America.
00:22:05.900 I think you know why. 0.92
00:22:07.460 Well, listen, not to celebrate America is to be insane.
00:22:11.440 And that's why I wrote the book.
00:22:12.960 I said, Americans just need to know the facts.
00:22:14.800 When you know the facts, there's no way that you think like, oh, it's a mixed bag.
00:22:20.040 That's like saying the Bible is a mixed bag.
00:22:22.300 Oh, yeah, there's some people in there did some bad stuff.
00:22:25.080 Like, it's the Bible, like the overall narrative.
00:22:28.380 This is God's story. 0.53
00:22:29.700 And frankly, America is God's story. 0.52
00:22:32.660 And again, Jack, I didn't know this as clearly as I know it now.
00:22:35.400 having done the research, it is inescapable. This is not like a Christian book. This is an
00:22:39.940 American history book that tells the story, and it is inescapable, that at the heart of everything,
00:22:46.380 I mean, I'm just looking here at a page, Samuel Adams, one of these great heroes,
00:22:52.080 he gives a speech on the steps of Independence Hall the day before they signed the official
00:22:57.040 copy of the Declaration. And in the speech, he says, we have this day restored the sovereign.
00:23:03.900 In other words, we've rejected the earthly king, and we've accepted God as our king.
00:23:09.860 This is a member of Congress speaking to members of Congress.
00:23:13.180 This is not a Bible study.
00:23:14.640 And he is declaring what they're doing.
00:23:16.760 They all understood we're going back to the Sinai Covenant.
00:23:19.880 We're going to be directly under God.
00:23:22.420 And I just find it amazing that this is American history, and most Americans don't know this.
00:23:27.900 And so I said, I'll put it all in a book because it's kind of high time.
00:23:31.780 We're at a point where, frankly, every American needs to know this.
00:23:35.020 And if you know this, you're going to be so thrilled that you're an American, that you're going to say, how can I give back?
00:23:40.500 And exactly that's what we should be thinking.
00:23:42.660 How can I give back?
00:23:43.560 How can I help keep the republic?
00:23:45.220 The first way you can help is by knowing these stories, knowing the names, the story of Nathan Hale.
00:23:50.680 You know, when I was at Yale in the 80s and there's a statue of Nathan Hale there. 0.53
00:23:56.560 And I thought to myself, there was a time when this brilliant, super Christian young man was willing to give his life for the nation.
00:24:06.220 And for a long time, he was known as one of the great heroes of the revolution.
00:24:09.960 There's a chapter in my book about him where he's being hanged by the British.
00:24:13.680 He says, my only regret is that I have but one life to give for my country.
00:24:18.280 The nobility, it is so beautiful.
00:24:20.720 We used to have a country of people who knew that and who rejoiced in that, in the nobility of that, the ideas that formed this country.
00:24:29.200 And I think we have a lot of people that they're simply unaware of it and or we've forgotten it.
00:24:33.720 And I again, I wrote the book, you know, I wanted to be kind of a fun telling of it.
00:24:38.380 But we do kind of need to know this. This is not extra credit.
00:24:41.980 Every American needs to know this stuff.
00:24:44.320 And Eric, I wish, you know, I wish that I could take this book and maybe I'll have to contact Bill Pulte and have him get it disseminated throughout the intelligence ranks.
00:24:53.780 Because when I joined the intelligence community as a military intelligence officer in the Navy, you know, for me, Nathan Hale was a role model, an inspiration.
00:25:02.180 Someone did he, you know, infiltrates occupied New York City, goes up against the British lines.
00:25:08.180 He had, you know, he's passing the letters, getting the intelligence, ends up getting
00:25:11.480 caught.
00:25:12.260 And he, and he does, and, and we of course have, have tributes and we, he is seen as
00:25:16.500 the father of America's intelligence services and, and we have tributes to him everywhere.
00:25:20.640 But you, you meet these Intel officers today, you meet these people in the IC and they don't
00:25:25.280 think like that.
00:25:26.100 They think that America is just one nation among other nations, that it's, it's this
00:25:30.860 Barack Obama kind of rhetorical.
00:25:32.800 We believe in exceptionalism the way the Greeks believe in exceptionalism.
00:25:36.120 And he said, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:25:37.780 And that's not to take anything away from the Greeks, by the way, Eric.
00:25:39.240 Completely different story.
00:25:40.500 Yeah, listen, speaking as a Greek, okay, who is proud to be Greek, you can't compare that.
00:25:46.860 America is God's idea in the history of the world.
00:25:49.660 There has never, literally, never been a nation like it.
00:25:52.960 We ought never to have succeeded except with God's help we did.
00:25:55.740 And all through my book, I'm quoting people that they say that they knew that this was God's idea of government,
00:26:02.540 that this is a sacred cause, and that we are privileged to be able to be involved in the
00:26:07.700 sacred cause. And it's what kept them strong when things were so bleak at Valley Forge,
00:26:11.920 as you mentioned. The British, completely different story. They were just corrupt, 0.97
00:26:17.600 cynical elites who made fun of the faith of the American colonists. I never saw that. 0.97
00:26:23.300 They were just, they were, you know, happy in their sin. The counterpart of George Washington
00:26:29.020 in the British, on the British side,
00:26:31.500 General Howe openly had a mistress.
00:26:33.860 Everyone knew he had a mistress.
00:26:35.940 They just mocked, you know,
00:26:37.500 it's almost like the Hollywood elites
00:26:39.540 going to war against, you know,
00:26:42.240 a community of Christians in Oklahoma.
00:26:45.260 The cultural divide was, exactly,
00:26:48.580 dramatic cultural divide.
00:26:49.740 We've got to run, tell people, tell people again
00:26:53.040 what the name of the book is, where they can get it.
00:26:55.880 The book is Revolution,
00:26:57.060 the birth of the greatest nation in the history of the world my website has three places where
00:27:02.260 you can get it ericmetaxas.com uh you should be able to get it anywhere but if you want it by
00:27:07.460 father's day go to my website ericmetaxas.com makes a great gift for dads and even for dads
00:27:13.920 to their sons ladies and gentlemen right back human events daily
00:27:27.060 Where is Jack? Where is Jack? Where is he? Jack, I want to see you.
00:27:38.700 Great job, Jack. Thank you. What a job you do. You know, we have an incredible thing. We're
00:27:43.860 always talking about the fake news and the bad, but we have guys and these are the guys
00:27:48.440 who'll be getting Pulisic. All right, Jack, we're back. Human Events Daily,
00:27:54.600 Real America's Voice Now. We knew that we were going to talk about Iran today. That's why we
00:28:00.100 booked our next guest, Tom Sauer, U.S. Navy Special Operations veteran. But we didn't know
00:28:06.180 that the news would break just before the show today from the president himself announcing that
00:28:12.080 an Apache helicopter had been shot down by Iranian forces. Go now to Tom. Tom, you're familiar with
00:28:20.460 the region you're familiar with the the order of battle there what do we know about this situation
00:28:25.500 and this incredible uh operational rescue of the air crew yeah man this is pretty historic so what
00:28:33.840 you had was you at night you had an age 64 apache you know arguably the greatest attack helicopter
00:28:39.480 ever that uh went down uh right around the straight not too far from oman and those two
00:28:45.340 army pilots were you know in the water for a couple hours but it was really interesting was
00:28:50.720 because what makes this historic is you had a uh unmanned surface vessel a corsair made by
00:28:56.800 seronic which is one of the hot new really impressive companies out there uh right now in the
00:29:01.900 defense tech space and this unmanned boat went and picked him up and brought him home it's part of
00:29:08.900 what's called Task Force 59, which is all unmanned systems, AI and whatnot. And specifically the
00:29:16.200 service level is Task Group 56.1. But what's really cool about this, though, is that it also
00:29:21.420 highlights there's a lot more going on than just a couple of autonomous or remotely piloted boats.
00:29:27.000 These aren't remotely piloted. These are semi-autonomous. But we've got all sorts of really
00:29:32.260 cool tech that is um all over the straight of Hormuz so for example I just want to I just want
00:29:39.300 to I don't want to bury the lead on this I want people to understand that so they're they're in
00:29:42.420 the water for a couple of hours they get picked up found and picked up not by uh not by U.S. Navy
00:29:51.320 SAR this is an unmanned vessel that actually is able to locate them and pick them up in this and
00:29:57.940 you said the straight Hormuz?
00:29:59.520 Yes, right in the straight.
00:30:00.480 Yeah, a robot boat, let's say.
00:30:02.940 Yeah, I mean, if, yeah, it was a Corsair.
00:30:06.500 That's the name of it.
00:30:07.380 The Corsair made by Saronic.
00:30:09.460 It's about, it's not that big.
00:30:11.040 I think I want to say it's about 20 feet long or so.
00:30:13.700 And multi-mission, usually for observation and whatnot,
00:30:16.020 but it pulled up to him.
00:30:17.020 And I guess those two pilots were able to get out of the water
00:30:21.660 and it took him home, which is pretty amazing.
00:30:23.620 I mean, it really is pretty amazing.
00:30:25.200 We've got all sorts of cool robots,
00:30:26.620 everything that's on the sea above it and underneath it too so yeah it's really an amazing
00:30:32.860 situation no it's it's it's amazing but at the same time we do have to talk about the fact that
00:30:38.620 iran did make this strike the iran did and the president has acknowledged of course you know
00:30:44.340 people pointed out that the president could have uh could have said it was a training accident
00:30:47.820 could have said it was a malfunction he's coming out now and saying that yes in fact it was the
00:30:52.540 Iranians that did this? What does that mean for the strategic calculus going forward?
00:30:58.300 Look, you know, I had a similar discussion yesterday with Oren McIntyre. And what it
00:31:02.160 comes down to, man, is, look, Trump wants to get a peace deal, not only because it's the right
00:31:06.840 thing to do, but also just, I mean, even out of political self-interest. So I think something's
00:31:11.840 got to give here, either, you know, the Iranians see the light, or we might not start hammering 1.00
00:31:18.180 them again. And this is just me sharing my personal opinion is once that leadership has
00:31:24.260 personal consequences imposed on them, or the threat of that, you know, and what I mean by 0.77
00:31:28.960 that is that, you know, we took out the entire Iranian government's upper echelon. And now a lot 0.98
00:31:35.620 of the middle echelon folks are now in these senior jobs. And some of those folks who now
00:31:40.800 just are newly promoted due to attrition, like might like their new positions. And they probably
00:31:47.720 also uh enjoy their you know they value their lives so i imagine that uh if they keep this up
00:31:55.180 that something bad is going to happen to a lot of people and it won't necessarily be
00:31:58.840 bridges and infrastructure and like that it could be very well could be but uh i think more likely 0.96
00:32:04.200 is we're just going to start killing them and then it's like okay you're dead now all right who else 0.90
00:32:09.820 wants to come up and say that they don't want to pee steel and that could happen well and there 0.95
00:32:13.700 There certainly have been, you know, there certainly have been a number of rumors flying around about either IRGC commanders or potentially even Supreme Leader as well being targeted.
00:32:23.600 And and one of the things that I keep hearing from administration officials and others is that it's what we're really seeing now is a split between the the leadership, the hardliners who, you know, predominantly in the IRGC who are making these attacks, trying to derail the peace process.
00:32:42.800 And then you've got moderates and pragmatists in more the religious side and even the civilian side, of course, who are saying, hey, we want this deal because we want to stay in place and we don't want to get unalived.
00:32:54.380 Yeah, that's a good point. 0.68
00:32:55.540 I mean, it could be targeting those IRGC commanders because there are, you know, obviously, you know, command and control has been wildly fractured.
00:33:02.880 And I'm willing to bet that there are elements within the IRGC, especially along the coastline, that doesn't have great communications with Tehran.
00:33:11.060 and they might just be smiling and nodding to whatever tehran says and just doing their own
00:33:16.260 thing i mean keep in mind i mean we had japanese soldiers still fighting in the philippines and
00:33:20.080 guam for what 20 30 years right so i mean it's not quite that extreme of a scenario but i mean
00:33:26.040 it could be some people who said we we really don't care what uh what this new puppet government
00:33:30.160 says we're going to keep fighting the the you know the great satan or whatever you know what i mean
00:33:34.500 so that's how the irjc recruits they recruit for the people who are most loyal who are
00:33:41.040 are most committed to the revolution, who are most committed to their form of Islam.
00:33:46.680 That's exactly why the IRGC exists.
00:33:49.460 And this is something that people need to understand about the IRGC is they don't exist
00:33:53.280 just to protect or defend Iran.
00:33:55.480 They're not there to defend the Iranian economy.
00:33:57.400 They're not there to defend the oil. 0.69
00:33:58.920 They're there to defend the Islamic revolution and to keep it going at all costs. 0.96
00:34:04.340 That means the regime itself and anything they have to do, like mining the straight, 0.83
00:34:08.160 which, of course, the you know, the the economic guys don't want.
00:34:11.400 They're more than happy to do so because it keeps the regime in place.
00:34:15.020 Yeah, that's very true, man. We'll see what happens.
00:34:17.820 But I think something's going to give here eventually.
00:34:20.360 So, Tom, just kind of switching gears on that President Trump, of course, shaking up the national security team.
00:34:25.740 We know that Tulsi Gabbard, it's her last last month as DNI.
00:34:29.880 Bill Pulte, someone that I know that you have interacted with on Twitter for years, who has been a student of Scott Adams as well as a businessman in his own right.
00:34:40.140 What do you think it means that having a businessman come in with President Trump being a businessman himself, coming into the national security space?
00:34:48.300 A lot of people saying, oh, there's no experience, but President Trump pointing out that, yeah, you said the same thing about me.
00:34:53.760 Yeah, absolutely right.
00:34:55.520 And also keep in mind that we do want to see some outsiders.
00:34:58.680 Like these jobs, these political appointments are meant to be political oversight.
00:35:02.400 So what is, you know, Bill Pulte's greatest qualification?
00:35:05.900 He has the trust and confidence of the president of the United States.
00:35:09.540 And when it comes to the intelligence community, that is absolutely paramount.
00:35:13.500 When I saw that there was like 21, maybe a couple dozen, you know, current or I'm sorry,
00:35:19.760 former or retired admirals and generals and intelligence folks saying he's a bad choice.
00:35:24.720 That's how I know he's a good choice.
00:35:26.000 And frankly, I even knew personally, some of the retired four stars on there, one of them was an old family friend. And I saw him like, yeah, of course, you'd say that. Yeah, I'm not surprised at all. Because frankly, it's a lot of the business as usual deep state types that were so hell bent on making sure one of their own are there.
00:35:43.100 And keep in mind, Jack, is that, you know, maybe your audience doesn't really aware of this, but what is the real purpose of ODNI, the Director of National Intelligence?
00:35:51.540 I know you know, but, you know, is that for your audience, though, is that it was created after 9-11 because of intelligence failures.
00:35:58.180 You know, we arguably could have prevented 9-11 had the CIA and the FBI been sharing information.
00:36:03.480 The purpose of DNI, of ODNI, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, is to be a clearinghouse for information, right?
00:36:11.000 The CIA, FBI, and the other, what, 14 or 15 or other intelligence agencies feed all their information there.
00:36:19.160 That information is synthesized, processed, disseminated out properly.
00:36:22.820 So it's not an active arm.
00:36:25.020 It doesn't do what CIA, DIA, or FBI does.
00:36:28.400 It's a clearinghouse of information to de-conflict intelligence and present everything best to the president.
00:36:35.140 I'm not saying that's not an important job, but it's not the same as what the FBI director, CIA director, et cetera, does.
00:36:43.020 That's not what their role is.
00:36:44.800 And here's here's the way I look at it, too, is you want someone who isn't familiar with the right way of doing things because they're not beholden to the process.
00:36:53.080 They're not someone who's come through the process.
00:36:55.040 That was the whole reason that so many people got behind President Trump in the first place, because the process had gotten stilted, had gotten stale, and they wanted to bring in a disruptor.
00:37:05.640 My whole point was with with Bill, the bulldog, Pulte, that's exactly what President Trump is signaling here, that he wants to say to say we're going to disrupt the process.
00:37:15.560 we're going to have someone go and look at every single way that the intelligence cycle is done
00:37:20.420 from the collections all the way on the ground, all the way up to the president's daily brief
00:37:24.700 to figure out what can we do to make this better.
00:37:27.860 And by the way, they're doing it at a time of active military operations.
00:37:31.960 And this Apache shootdown certainly speaks to that.
00:37:35.420 That's why it is not appropriate for the United States Senate to be playing games with his appointments right now.
00:37:41.700 Tom Sauer, last moment to you.
00:37:44.080 Hey, no, thank you very much.
00:37:45.340 And a great point as well is that keep in mind that Tulsi Gabbard was not particularly qualified in that same sense. 0.76
00:37:53.380 Yes, I mean, look, she was in the Army Reserves.
00:37:56.320 She worked Medical Service Corps, as in support to medical services.
00:38:01.180 I'm not diminishing that at all, but she was not an intelligence officer.
00:38:04.000 She was not combat arms.
00:38:05.700 I'm not diminishing a service.
00:38:06.760 She's a congressman.
00:38:08.520 But she's going to give the straight scoop of intelligence.
00:38:10.480 Tom Sauer, Thomas B. Sauer. Go give him a follow across X and all platforms. Right back,
00:38:16.540 Human Events Daily.
00:38:29.000 So we're going to call this the Jack Posobiec Appreciation Hour. I can say confidently,
00:38:33.540 I believe, I think Josh Shapiro would be the vice presidential nominee if it wasn't for Jack
00:38:37.600 Posobiec. And that is, I'll be honest. All right, folks, Jack Posobiec back live here,
00:38:48.260 Human Events Daily. Now, of course, we're talking about Iran. We're talking about the
00:38:50.960 Straight Over Hormuz, talking about these fluctuations, not just in the geopolitical
00:38:55.660 environment, but also in the geoeconomic environment. And that's what matters so much
00:39:01.220 to all of you. It matters so much out there to families, to your portfolios, managing your
00:39:07.060 family's money? How can we do this? We've got Alex Abkarian on here. He's the COO of Allegiance
00:39:12.820 Gold, and he's always so good to tell us what's going on and the latest, because Alex, I don't
00:39:19.740 know about, I know about you, but I've been looking at some of these gold numbers this week,
00:39:24.320 and I've never, I don't even think I've ever seen anything like it. Tell us what's been going on
00:39:28.720 this last week in the gold and precious metals market. So the conventional wisdom, Jack, is that
00:39:33.860 whenever there's geopolitical turmoil, you would expect the yellow metal to increase in price.
00:39:39.180 But here's what's been happening. Because this war is escalating and oil is involved,
00:39:45.020 synthetically, that is increasing the value of the dollar index. So let me put it in a simple
00:39:49.820 layman terms. Oil prices go up, dollar value increases, gold drops. This is expected in the
00:39:57.140 short term. Why? Because if you look at the data in the last 40 years, every time we had a tension
00:40:03.260 with a country in the Middle East that is rich in oil,
00:40:06.740 the first three to six months during the war,
00:40:10.360 we see gold prices kind of take a step back
00:40:13.840 and oil prices increase.
00:40:16.340 Once the war is done, we see the opposite movement.
00:40:19.400 This is what President Trump is talking about.
00:40:21.640 He's talking about how that at some point,
00:40:23.540 oil prices are gonna drop.
00:40:25.360 And it's so difficult to time the market, folks.
00:40:28.040 One of the things that we suggest for people to do
00:40:30.180 is look at this as a buying opportunity
00:40:33.200 specifically in the gold market but let's put gold aside for a second there was a bloodbath in
00:40:38.460 the nasdaq earlier today it dropped almost about a thousand points it came back up it's down about
00:40:44.120 a one percent and this is ahead of the big ipo that is expected this friday
00:40:49.000 so we're we're looking at that and obviously of the ipo coming up but this has been a situation
00:40:58.080 where people have, you know, if, would you put it this way? Would you say that this could
00:41:03.400 potentially be an introductory point, a tipping point where if people haven't been in the precious
00:41:10.000 metals market at all, have, haven't had it as part of their portfolio, would this actually be
00:41:14.620 an opportunity to get in? Absolutely. Here's why. In the last two years, gold has gone up
00:41:20.800 very strongly. And we've had a lot of people saying, I feel like I missed the boat. I want
00:41:25.640 to wait for a little bit of a retractment. See, here's what's interesting. If you study the gold
00:41:30.520 bull market, it typically moves in a 10-year cycle. Right now, we're probably in the fifth inning,
00:41:36.980 and nothing goes up in a straight line. So the opportunity for a lot of first-time investors
00:41:41.080 is to increase the ounce spaces. In other words, they're going to get a better buying opportunity.
00:41:47.380 Now, here's another thing to keep in mind. Friday, the job numbers came out, 172,000 jobs,
00:41:53.340 more than double the expected.
00:41:55.640 May numbers were revised up.
00:41:57.260 April numbers were revised up.
00:41:58.720 That's a great news for the economy.
00:42:00.820 But then we saw that the market also took a dip.
00:42:04.160 So the whole point of gold is the preservation and preparation.
00:42:08.580 You want to have some proper diversification.
00:42:11.060 You don't want to bet the entire farm on gold, folks.
00:42:13.600 No one does it.
00:42:14.220 You just want to have some as a rainy day fund,
00:42:17.120 just in case we see the value of the dollar continue to erode,
00:42:20.020 because the foundation and the fundamentals,
00:42:22.960 we still see central banks buying.
00:42:25.020 We talked about the Bank of Poland last time.
00:42:28.160 What's interesting is you have the Czech Republic
00:42:30.520 recently announced that they want to increase their buying.
00:42:33.760 And China, we know that they're hoarding gold
00:42:35.800 like no tomorrow because they're dumping US treasury bonds.
00:42:39.200 So the big picture for a lot of first-time listeners is this.
00:42:42.560 On one side, we have some positive economic numbers.
00:42:45.720 Obviously, the World Cup is gonna give us a lift
00:42:48.320 in the job creation numbers.
00:42:50.020 On the other side, we're seeing a little bit of a pessimism from CEOs and small to medium-sized businesses because, let's face it, those are the ones that are being impacted with the short-term inflation.
00:43:01.940 Tomorrow, we're going to get the data for inflation.
00:43:05.100 Look, it is expected that inflation is going to get higher slightly.
00:43:09.380 Don't freak out.
00:43:10.480 Don't get confused.
00:43:11.960 Kevin Walsh was nominated by President Trump for a specific reason.
00:43:15.180 In his Congress conversation, he talked about potentially removing these one-time hits that is impacting the inflation.
00:43:25.820 What that means is this.
00:43:27.180 We know that oil prices drove inflation numbers higher because before the war, the math was on the right trajectory.
00:43:35.220 Wages were growing faster than inflation.
00:43:37.600 But because of this blip on the data, it's affecting inflation.
00:43:41.560 So short term, we're expecting that the Federal Reserve will keep the interest rate as is.
00:43:47.640 Once they reevaluate how to look at inflation, there will be a lot more case to lower interest rates as President Trump wanted at the beginning of the year.
00:43:57.940 So that's coming in now with with WARS taking the reins over the Federal Reserve.
00:44:02.660 Do you then think that they're going to be able to pair that in?
00:44:05.260 Because obviously the president's looking at this.
00:44:07.220 We know the Fed's also going to be looking at, of course, at the trading, you know, at the currency trading out there.
00:44:13.240 They're going to want to stretch the dollar as much as they can.
00:44:16.660 But at the same time, they know that they're still fighting this fight against inflation.
00:44:22.560 Absolutely. Historically, the way they used to fight against inflation is to raise interest rates.
00:44:27.920 If they do that, that's going to break the economy.
00:44:30.480 And we know that that's there's a very minimal chance of doing that.
00:44:34.720 That's why we got to get inflation under control.
00:44:37.220 So, look, I'm a former banker.
00:44:39.140 We used to finance publicly traded companies, buy and sell businesses.
00:44:42.540 From time to time, there is this one recurring or non-recurring scenario.
00:44:48.220 So if we look at it legitimately and we take out those high prices of oil,
00:44:52.940 that would benefit the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates.
00:44:56.420 What's the benefit?
00:44:57.560 Short term, we're going to get some relief, folks.
00:45:00.460 But long term, that's not going to be great for the dollar.
00:45:03.520 So at the beginning of the year, we were forecasting three rate drops.
00:45:07.860 That was one of the headwinds for gold prices to go sideways between 4,300 to about 4,800.
00:45:14.980 Once we get back on a path of lowering interest rates, that's going to be very much positive
00:45:19.760 for the price of gold, which is why I tell our listeners, have some exposure to gold,
00:45:25.280 have some diversity, not only gold, but also some silver.
00:45:29.380 So folks are out there, they're listening, they're seeing all this, they're tracking
00:45:32.320 everything. They're saying, I haven't gotten into this yet. I'm looking at it. I'm interested. I'm
00:45:36.940 considering it. How do they take the next step? Look, it's very simple. You can either go to

00:46:42.040 Take care.
00:46:43.460 All right.
00:46:43.800 And, folks, now we are getting breaking news out of Texas where just a few moments ago we were told that the Carmelo Anthony trial, which, of course, is regarding the stabbing death of Austin Metcalf, we're told that the verdict is in, that deliberations only took place for less than three hours.
00:47:09.020 The jury has now begun returning, according to NBC5 out of Dallas, the jury has begun returning to the courtroom with a verdict.
00:47:18.960 The verdict is expected to be read momentarily.
00:47:22.460 Now, of course, as we know, there is no live stream.
00:47:26.580 There is no cameras in there.
00:47:29.000 There are no, there are no, is no information.
00:47:33.580 So the jury is coming in.
00:47:35.060 The jury is now coming in where they are going to be seated.
00:47:38.840 We're also told that Carmelo Anthony's parents were seen leaving the courtroom in tears just moments before the jury went to deliberate.
00:47:48.880 So we don't know if they've been told something, if they have heard something.
00:47:52.960 Typically in these cases, you don't know the verdict until it is actually read by the jury foreman down there in Frisco, Texas.
00:48:01.140 And let's remind folks that this all goes back to that rainy afternoon at a track meet where Carmelo Anthony was asked, and we're told, according to the witnesses, 15 times, 15 times to please leave, that you don't go into another team's tent, that you don't sit under that, that you don't bother rival teams when you're at a track meet or any sporting event.
00:48:29.760 he did not do so there was testimony that austin metcalf gave him a a shove or a tap
00:48:36.220 on the shoulder asking him to get up but during that time criminal anthony said touch me and see
00:48:42.960 what happens it was seen rummaging through his school bag and also one of the to my mind most
00:48:53.000 shocking pieces of information that's come out in all of this is the autopsy and in that autopsy
00:48:59.180 medical examiner dr elizabeth ventura and i want to read this told jurors that the knifing left
00:49:06.460 metcalf with a gaping two inch wound and that the knife went so deep that it pierced the bone of his
00:49:13.820 chest and the right side of his heart now i'm not on the jury you know i i haven't sat through
00:49:22.740 the trial because we couldn't if it wasn't live streamed but to me that level of force
00:49:30.220 speaks to intent that that level of force that you may be using for uh that doesn't seem like
00:49:39.500 defense that seems like an attempt to kill if you're going to to chop to slice to stab at
00:49:46.540 someone that hard. That's not a defensive gesture. No, that's murder. That's a murder gesture. So
00:49:54.060 of course we have to, that's all the time we have. I want to thank Real America's Voice for
00:49:58.300 giving me a couple extra minutes here to talk about the breaking news. And of course, I'm sure
00:50:03.860 Real America's Voice will be back with that verdict as soon as it comes in.
00:50:07.500 Jack Posobiec, ladies and gentlemen, as always, you have my permission to lay ashore.
00:50:16.540 We'll be right back.
