00:00:55.960 Today's edition of Human Events Daily.

00:00:57.860 We're here live on Real America's Voice.

00:01:00.620 Today is April 16th, 2026.

00:01:04.360 Anno Domini.

00:01:05.440 Folks, new ATF report out on Tyler Robinson.

00:01:09.840 This is a report that many of us have been talking about from the very start.

00:01:14.500 A lot of us looking at what could come, what could be next, giving into the ballistics.

00:01:19.220 We're going to dig into that.

00:01:20.320 Also, Tyler Robinson expected in court tomorrow for a hearing on cameras in the courtroom.

00:01:27.220 President Trump, though, going out and giving a giving a gaggle right now.

00:01:34.380 Guys, do we have that? Can we go to the gaggle?

00:01:37.060 All right. We're we're we'll throw to President Trump right now.

00:01:45.860 It's very important that the pope understands.

00:01:50.400 Very, very important. It'd be nice not to say it.

00:01:53.320 Iran killed 42,000 people that were totally unarmed.

00:01:58.060 They were protesters.

00:02:00.060 Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.

00:02:02.460 If they did, every country, including Italy,

00:02:05.360 where he stationed, every single country in the world

00:02:09.360 would be in trouble.

00:02:10.680 So we're doing very well with respect to that.

00:02:13.900 Having to do with the whole situation on Iran,

00:02:16.920 the blockade is amazing.

00:02:20.540 It's holding up very strong, very powerfully.

00:02:23.600 And I think we're making a lot of progress in that.

00:02:26.540 But the Pope has to understand Iran, very simple,

00:02:29.140 Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.

00:02:31.060 The world would be in great danger.

00:02:32.680 The Pressure, would you meet with the Pope

00:02:38.260 to even out your differences?

00:02:39.920 What path is your turn?

00:02:41.300 The President, you spoke with Prime Minister Modi

00:02:47.000 just a couple of days ago.

00:02:48.760 What was the conversation like?

00:02:50.760 What is it that is on the table now?

00:02:52.760 The President": I had a very good talk with him.

00:02:54.760 And he's a friend of mine from India.

00:02:56.760 And he's doing great.

00:02:58.760 We had a very good conversation.

00:03:00.760 The Pressure Man, are you considering extending the peace fire with Iran?

00:03:04.760 The President": With who?

00:03:06.760 The Pressure Man, The President": With Iran.

00:03:08.760 The President": We're doing very well, I can tell you. 0.98

00:03:10.760 Maybe it'll happen before that.

00:03:12.760 I'm not sure it needs to be extended.

00:03:14.760 The Pressure Man, The President": Just so you know, Iran wants to make a deal.

00:03:17.760 We're dealing very nicely with them.

00:03:20.140 We've got to have no nuclear weapons.

00:03:22.600 If we do, that's a big factor.

00:03:25.300 And they're willing to do things today that they

00:03:27.700 weren't willing to do two months ago.

00:03:29.780 The Pressing of the President, do you have anything

00:03:31.440 about Ukraine?

00:03:32.740 Do you have anything regarding peace in Ukraine?

00:03:34.940 The Pressing of the President.

00:03:37.080 The Pressing of the President, are you confident about that?

00:03:38.280 The President, I think that will, I think it's

00:03:39.380 going to be actually, it's very exciting because

00:03:41.380 it's 48 years.

00:03:43.280 We're going to be meeting with Bibi Netanyahu, as

00:03:46.460 you know.

00:03:47.080 the president of Lebanon, and I had a great talk

00:03:51.620 with both of them today.

00:03:52.780 They're going to be having a ceasefire. 0.65

00:03:55.160 And that'll include Hezbollah. 1.00

00:03:57.420 And I think it could be number 10 for me.

00:04:01.520 Mr. President, do you have any news regarding

00:04:04.780 peace in Ukraine?

00:04:06.140 What?

00:04:06.740 Mr. President, do you have any news regarding

00:04:08.040 peace in Ukraine?

00:04:09.140 The President": Ukraine is moving along.

00:04:11.180 I wish they could get along, frankly.

00:04:12.840 A lot of people are dying in Ukraine.

00:04:14.980 We'll see what happens.

00:04:15.940 There are things happening there.

00:04:17.080 We're focused so much right now on Iran,

00:04:20.080 seeing if we can get that completed.

00:04:22.180 And I think if you look, the stock market is good.

00:04:28.260 The oil prices are coming down. 1.00

00:04:30.460 And it's looking very good that we're going to make a deal with Iran. 1.00

00:04:33.560 And it's going to be a good deal.

00:04:34.760 It's going to be a deal with no nuclear weapons.

00:04:36.760 The Press, when is the next in-person round of negotiations

00:04:43.700 on the war in Iran?

00:04:45.540 When will that take place? 0.75

00:04:46.540 I mean, it's not a question of a round, all of them are broken.

00:04:49.300 When will the next in-person meeting take place?

00:04:50.540 Probably, maybe over the weekend.

00:04:52.240 Mr. President, will you send the Vice President?

00:04:54.240 Mr. President, will you send the Vice President?

00:04:56.040 The blockade has been incredible.

00:04:57.960 It's been, it's held.

00:05:00.080 They're not doing any business.

00:05:01.360 They're unable to do any business because of the blockade.

00:05:04.600 And so the combination of having no Navy, having no Air Force,

00:05:08.400 having no anti-aircraft equipment, they have nothing.

00:05:11.860 Everything is gone, including their leaders.

00:05:14.560 Now they have a new set of leaders, and we find them very reasonable.

00:05:18.000 And does the President have, like, a 20-year minimum to stop enriching uranium?

00:05:23.000 Would that be acceptable to you, or would that be acceptable to you, sir, if that's the final sticking point?

00:05:28.520 What we have is we have a statement, a very powerful statement, that they will not have — beyond 20 years —

00:05:36.520 that they will not have nuclear weapons. That's beyond — there's no 20-year limit.

00:05:40.120 The Press, Mr. President, can you please give us more information on it?

00:05:46.060 They'll go against the weaponization from right now.

00:05:47.880 I think that Todd Blanche is doing a very good job, from what I'm saying.

00:05:54.020 All I can say thus far, I think Todd Blanche is doing a very good job.

00:05:57.020 The Press, Mr. President, with that, if there's no deal, would you be willing to extend the

00:06:02.460 ceasefire, or will the fighting resume, Mr. President?

00:06:04.460 I would say the fighting.

00:06:05.460 If there's no deal, fighting resumes.

00:06:06.460 Okay. And then on gas prices, how much longer will Americans continue to see these high gas prices?

00:06:11.940 Well, they're not very high.

00:06:13.100 If you look at what they were supposed to be in order to get rid of a nuclear weapon, with the danger that entails.

00:06:18.760 So the gas prices have come down very much over the last three, four days.

00:06:23.840 I know, you know, and that's what ABC says.

00:06:25.660 But the fact is that if you look at the stock markets up, everything is doing really well. 0.62

00:06:31.920 And the big thing we have to do is we have to make sure that Iran does not have a nuclear weapon, because if they do, you want to talk about problems, you'd have problems.

00:06:40.520 So very important is that Iran does not have a nuclear weapon, and they've agreed to that.

00:06:46.780 Iran's agreed to that, and they've agreed to it very powerfully.

00:06:50.800 They've agreed to give us back the nuclear dust. 0.85

00:06:53.860 It's way underground because of the attack we made with the B-2 bombers. 1.00

00:06:57.180 So we have a lot of agreement with Iran and I think something's going to happen very positive 0.90

00:07:02.940 Iran is going to move

00:07:06.780 A very complicated subject it's uh, I don't think we're waiting, I think we're moving very fast it could happen pretty quickly

00:07:13.580 The President, how long did you sustain the blockade on the Strait of Humor?

00:07:22.580 The what?

00:07:23.580 How long did you sustain the blockade on the Strait of Humor?

00:07:26.580 The President, we're doing very well with the blockade.

00:07:29.580 It's very routine for us. The Navy is incredible.

00:07:32.580 And I think the blockade is doing very well.

00:07:35.580 No ship is even thinking about entering.

00:07:37.580 No ship is going past our Navy.

00:07:40.580 Why are you fighting with the Pope?

00:07:42.820 And are you worried it's upsetting your...

00:07:44.220 No, no, I don't.

00:07:45.480 I have to do what's right.

00:07:47.620 The Pope has to understand that, very simple,

00:07:50.260 I have nothing against the Pope.

00:07:51.660 His brother is MAGA all the way.

00:07:53.420 I like his brother, Louis.

00:07:54.560 Why are you fighting with him?

00:07:55.460 I'm not fighting with him.

00:07:56.860 The Pope made a statement.

00:07:58.040 He says Iran can have a nuclear weapon.

00:08:00.400 I say Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.

00:08:02.840 And if the Pope looked at the 42,000 people

00:08:05.880 that were killed over the last two or three months

00:08:09.100 as a protester with no weapons, no nothing.

00:08:12.200 I mean, you take a look at that.

00:08:14.200 So I can disagree with the Pope.

00:08:15.680 I have a right to disagree.

00:08:17.340 I have a right to disagree with the Pope.

00:08:19.040 The Press Press What do you say to people who see that,

00:08:21.920 who see your criticism of the President?

00:08:23.240 The President You can't have, look.

00:08:25.080 Nothing, I have no disagreement with the fact

00:08:29.420 the Pope can say what he wants,

00:08:31.220 and I want him to say what he wants,

00:08:33.320 but I can disagree.

00:08:34.820 I think that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.

00:08:37.960 If they do, the whole world would be at jeopardy. 0.64

00:08:40.200 The Middle East will be blown up, 0.99

00:08:41.640 and the whole world will be at jeopardy. 1.00

00:08:43.500 We're very close to making a deal.

00:08:45.140 That'll be a great thing.

00:08:46.960 The Pope has to understand. 0.82

00:08:48.600 Iran has killed more than 42,000 people

00:08:51.300 over the last few months.

00:08:52.840 Think of it.

00:08:53.580 Protesters without guns, without anything.

00:08:56.620 They were totally unarmed protesters.

00:08:58.880 The Pope has to understand that.

00:09:01.080 This is the real world.

00:09:02.220 It's a nasty world.

00:09:03.820 But as far as the Pope and saying what he wants,

00:09:06.520 he can do that.

00:09:07.120 Now, I know the Pope's brother.

00:09:08.920 He is a big MAGA person.

00:09:10.380 He's got MAGA all over his house.

00:09:11.960 His name is Louis.

00:09:13.360 He's actually a great guy.

00:09:15.000 And I'm sure the Pope is a great guy.

00:09:16.560 I haven't met him.

00:09:17.740 But I disagree with the Pope.

00:09:19.400 If the Pope would allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon,

00:09:24.000 you can't do that.

00:09:25.000 The Pressure is saying that the Pope is not real.

00:09:27.380 The President Trump, Anthony Mursat from MTV.

00:09:28.880 The President Trump, Anthony Mursat from MTV Lebanon.

00:09:31.540 The President Trump, Anthony Mursat from MTV Lebanon.

00:09:33.740 I would like to ask you regarding congratulations

00:09:36.220 Yeah, it's very exciting.

00:09:38.080 With Lebanon, it's very exciting.

00:09:39.600 I think we're going to have a deal where we're going

00:09:41.800 to have a meeting, first time in 44 years.

00:09:44.660 And Lebanon will be meeting with Israel, and they're

00:09:47.440 probably going to do it at the White House.

00:09:49.000 The Press, Mr. President, when do you think they will

00:09:51.840 The Press, Mr. President, over the next week or two.

00:09:53.240 The Press, Mr. President, over the next week.

00:09:53.800 And do you think this agreement can reach without 0.93

00:09:56.840 Hezbollah agreeing with the President? 0.99

00:09:58.140 The President, I think we will have an agreement 0.85

00:09:59.540 between Lebanon, and they're going to take care of 0.99

00:10:02.720 Hezbollah.

00:10:04.040 But they're going to be working on Hezbollah right now,

00:10:06.300 but we'll have a degree between Israel,

00:10:08.780 very importantly, and Lebanon.

00:10:10.180 The Press, sir, would you support our Lebanese army as well?

00:10:12.620 The President, what's wrong with Hezbollah?

00:10:13.040 The Press, sir.

00:10:14.280 The Press, sir.

00:10:15.180 The Press, sir.

00:10:16.220 The Press, sir.

00:10:17.180 The Press, sir.

00:10:18.180 The Press, sir.

00:10:19.320 The Press, sir.

00:10:20.320 The Press, sir.

00:10:21.000 The Press, sir.

00:10:21.700 The Press, sir, has Hezbollah agreed to a ceasefire?

00:10:23.120 I mean, how do you even see that?

00:10:24.060 The Press, sir?

00:10:24.100 The Press, sir.

00:10:25.100 They're all agreeing.

00:10:26.200 It's a very nice little package for about a week.

00:10:27.460 And we're not going to have lots of bombs dropping.

00:10:28.500 And we're going to see if we can make peace

00:10:29.640 Lebanon and Israel I want to preach the gospel I'm all about the gospel but I 1.00

00:10:43.620 also know that you cannot let a certain country which is a very mean-spirited 0.55

00:10:49.140 country have a nuclear weapon if they did they would use it and I think they'd

00:10:52.920 used it quickly and they would kill many millions of people so you know the Pope

00:10:57.600 You could disagree with me on that, but certainly we're allowed to have that.

00:11:01.040 I'm all about the gospel.

00:11:02.740 I'm about it as much as anybody can be. 1.00

00:11:05.000 But I can't allow, as President of the United States of America, I can't allow Iran to have

00:11:11.000 a nuclear weapon. 0.95

00:11:12.000 And here's the story.

00:11:13.300 They won't have.

00:11:14.500 They've already agreed not to have.

00:11:16.700 That's good news.

00:11:17.700 And I think the folk will be very happy.

00:11:19.700 The Press.

00:11:20.700 The Press Press on the President,

00:11:22.700 the federal reserve to wait and see about the Iran War

00:11:25.280 before lowering interest rates.

00:11:26.700 Do you agree with that?

00:11:27.700 The President, I don't agree.

00:11:28.700 I think we should have lower interest.

00:11:29.700 The Press Press on the President,

00:11:31.940 the President, Iran is going to execute four more protesters,

00:11:33.220 accordingly, including the first woman protester.

00:11:36.120 What do you tell Iran?

00:11:37.040 The President, what do you say?

00:11:39.080 What do you say?

00:11:40.080 Tell that to the Pope.

00:11:41.160 The President, Iran is going to... 0.81

00:11:43.980 The President, Iran is going to execute four people, 0.83

00:11:48.360 including one. 1.00

00:11:49.320 I don't know if we're going to have to, but if we need to, I would do that.

00:12:04.280 So if you look at the oil and if you look at the price we're paying, it's about half what people thought it would be if you did what I had to do.

00:12:12.580 We had to take this journey to the Middle East in order to get rid of a nuclear weapon. 0.71

00:12:16.780 And there would have been — if we didn't hit them 0.99

00:12:18.520 with the B-2 bombers, or if I didn't kill the 0.92

00:12:21.220 Barack Hussein-Obama deal — the nuclear deal, 0.68

00:12:23.420 which was a disaster — we would have had nuclear

00:12:26.920 weapons exploding in the Middle East and beyond.

00:12:30.000 I believe I've been able to stop that.

00:12:32.400 I think we have a very successful negotiation

00:12:35.060 going on right now.

00:12:36.700 And I think it'll be — if it happens, it'll be

00:12:39.200 announced fairly soon. 0.51

00:12:40.940 And that'll give us free oil, free Homo Strait. 0.99

00:12:45.680 Everything will be nice. 0.63

00:12:47.180 And I think your oil price will go down to lower

00:12:49.320 than what it was before.

00:12:51.180 And I think a lot of good things will happen.

00:12:52.760 The Press Press just for clarity,

00:12:55.920 you're willing to extend the ceasefire?

00:12:57.360 The President Biden will have to.

00:12:59.620 Ideally, but if I needed to, I would.

00:13:01.620 The Press Press the Taliban people love you so much.

00:13:03.740 What do you say?

00:13:04.560 The Taliban people love you so much.

00:13:05.800 What's your message for them?

00:13:07.140 And do you will visit Lebanon after this?

00:13:09.700 The President Biden will do this.

00:13:11.100 At the right time, I would certainly go there.

00:13:13.040 The Press Press the President.

00:13:15.680 want to stop it apparently he's bombing ukraine do you think this war has the potential to go on

00:13:20.560 for years more well it should have been it should have never started if i were president the war in

00:13:25.920 ukraine never would have started with russia uh but it's uh it's going on hopefully it'll get over

00:13:30.800 soon came out last week and said she had no link to jeffrey epstein who did the first lady she had

00:13:36.880 none why did she come out and say that because the fake news was saying she did and she had none and

00:13:42.160 i think that's been proven uh it bothered her that the fake news was being fake news

00:13:47.680 that's all she just wanted to clarify who's taking care of hezbollah do you think that they

00:13:52.240 are destroying the deal that you're trying to we're going to see how it all works out but

00:13:56.560 they'll be working and coordinating if you know you know lebanon right so they'll be working with

00:14:02.480 Hezbollah.

00:14:03.480 The Press, are you still interested in acquiring Iranian oil after the fall?

00:14:07.480 What?

00:14:08.480 The Press, are you still interested in acquiring Iranian oil after the fall?

00:14:11.480 Well, we'll see.

00:14:12.480 I mean, we have a very good relationship with Iran right now, as hard as it is to believe.

00:14:16.480 And I think it's a combination of about four weeks of bombing and a very powerful blockade.

00:14:23.480 The blockade is maybe more powerful than the bombing, if you want to know the truth. 0.76

00:14:28.480 Are you going to make the Arab countries pay a portion of all of the contributions? 1.00

00:14:33.320 I think they'll make that.

00:14:34.320 I think they're going to make that contribution.

00:14:36.320 I think the Arab countries, because we've done a lot, I think they'd make a contribution

00:14:42.480 for the course.

00:14:47.480 Not been involved.

00:14:52.480 The Press Pressett Trump rebuilding now.

00:14:55.400 The Press Press..

00:14:57.400 The Press press.

00:14:58.360 The Press press.

00:15:03.140 I think we're very close 0.83

00:15:04.780 to making a deal with Iran. 0.97

00:15:05.860 You'll be the first to know. 0.96

00:15:06.860 But I think we have a chance.

00:15:08.820 And if that happens, oil goes way down.

00:15:11.940 Cyl down impacting the Russian Minister of

00:15:12.660 America moving forward.

00:15:14.380 And you're going to have much more

00:15:15.340 importantly than even that, 0.95

00:15:16.860 you won't have nuclear Holocaust. 0.96

00:15:18.300 So have we. 0.99

00:15:21.560 not

00:15:51.560 All right. So, folks, you saw President Trump there at the South Lawn answering a lot of

00:16:00.680 questions. Iran, Lebanon. So many questions that he dug into. We're going to talk a little

00:16:07.300 bit more about Iran coming up later in the program and how all of this is directly related

00:16:13.840 to China. I didn't hear any specific questions about China or the meeting that's had to take

00:16:18.340 place beijing one month one month away from today but you know when we see all this there's the

00:16:28.620 president united states and by the way he's got a huge event tomorrow with tposa we have the event

00:16:33.660 at dream city church this was charlie's church this is where charlie would go and speak and have

00:16:40.220 so many of his uh his events and now tposa being there with the president tomorrow in phoenix so

00:16:46.120 certainly invite anyone in the Phoenix area, Arizona area. If you want to fly in, get in there.

00:16:50.700 This is going to be a huge event. You won't want to miss it. President Trump, an event in Vegas

00:16:56.540 tonight, perhaps, perhaps who knows? Perhaps we'll be talking to U.S. attorneys about Eric

00:17:02.040 Swalwell and the video that I posted of Eric Swalwell in Las Vegas. We'll see. So he's on

00:17:08.160 his way there tonight and then to Arizona for TPUSA. We have an event with him tomorrow at

00:17:13.600 Dream City Church. But going back from TPUSA, we do have to look into this new ATF report into

00:17:21.340 the murder of TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk. And what did we find in this report? The big headline,

00:17:30.640 which has jumped out to everyone, is that the bullet fragments found in the gun, in Tyler

00:17:36.700 robinson's gun excuse me the bullet fragments found during charlie's autopsy were 30 caliber

00:17:44.000 the bullets found in tyler robinson's gun were 30 out 6 the gun found on the ground was a mauser 98

00:17:52.560 was tyler robinson's gun it's grandfather's gun originally and now they're matching those

00:17:58.880 fragments they also found a casing i believe it was inside the gun with the um with the markings

00:18:05.720 from the firing pin on it, matched to the gun, and then .30 caliber fragments found

00:18:11.320 in Charlie's autopsy. Libby Edmonds is the editor of The Postmillennial and the editor

00:18:17.000 of Human Events. She joins us to break this down. Libby, how are you?

00:18:21.420 I'm good, Jack. Thanks so much.

00:18:23.700 So Libby, this new report, it is a preliminary report. Walk us through some of the information

00:18:30.160 And the fact that this is this is really only a summary of the evidence that is yet to come in the full preliminary hearing, which is one month away.

00:18:40.360 Yeah, so this was a summary of an ATF report done on the bullet that was found during the autopsy of Charlie Kirk.

00:18:48.340 We were looking over this report last night.

00:18:50.900 We have the article out at the Post Millennial, and the ATF report was part of a motion that was, it was included in a motion that was filed by the defense on January 9th.

00:19:01.520 The exhibits included in the report include one Mauser Model 98 .30-06 Springfield caliber rifle bearing serial number 8863 with an optical accessory.

00:19:14.120 It also included were .30-06 Springfield caliber cartridges and a case, as well as one bullet jacket fragment and four lead fragments.

00:19:28.740 These were all found.

00:19:30.740 The report states that the Exhibit 1, the rifle, was test fired and found to be in operable condition.

00:19:36.460 It also states that one 30-06 Springfield caliber cartridge case, which was identified as Exhibit 2, bears Remington headstamp, as did the other cartridges.

00:19:47.520 Some of these cartridges were found to have tool marks.

00:19:50.420 Pardon me. I'm actually just being told that President Trump is back and answering more questions.

00:19:56.020 We thought he had walked off. Guys, let's go back to the president.

00:19:59.400 over time show that the democrat party is no longer the party of the working class and the

00:20:05.240 republican party under your leadership action i love this question this is the greatest guy look

00:20:10.260 how handsome he is what a great guy he is yes the democrats don't know what they're doing

00:20:15.680 they want to tax everybody out of business they want men playing in women's sports they don't

00:20:20.860 want voter id they don't know what they're doing we've had we've had an unbelievable run and the

00:20:28.080 People getting their tax returns and they're coming back and they're ending up getting five, six, seven thousand dollars more than they thought possible.

00:20:35.120 Mr. President, do you think the Pope was being disrespectful to you guys?

00:20:42.000 The who? The Pope. Do you think he was being disrespectful to you?

00:20:45.960 I don't think about it that way. The Pope has to understand that Iran could not have a nuclear weapon.

00:20:51.800 And the Pope has to understand that you can't let a country kill 42,000 protesters, totally

00:20:58.500 unarmed protesters.

00:20:59.500 You can't do that.

00:21:00.500 So, the Pope, you know, I know his brother, his brother is MAGA all the way.

00:21:06.560 You know that.

00:21:07.560 Lewis is a great guy.

00:21:08.560 But the Pope has to understand you're not allowed to kill 42,000 protesters who are totally

00:21:14.040 unarmed.

00:21:15.040 And you cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon or the entire world could be gone.

00:21:21.560 And, you know, when the Pope realizes that, I think we'll have a different understanding.

00:21:26.560 Does the President mean that Europeans should be buying more gas and oil from the United States?

00:21:33.560 Well, they should be buying more from us, and what they should be doing is using the North Sea.

00:21:37.560 I can tell you, UK, I've been telling that to your Prime Minister,

00:21:41.560 the UK should open up the North Sea, one of the greatest in the world,

00:21:45.560 and they should use it instead of buying oil from Norway and other places

00:21:50.560 that use the same source they should use it and they're not doing it they're

00:21:54.700 doing windmills and windmills windmills do one thing you know what they do put

00:21:59.080 you out of business

00:22:03.380 regional leaders about the peace deal or the peaceful so that we're dealing with

00:22:07.900 everybody we're dealing with all of the leaders on many different subjects we're

00:22:11.660 very close to a deal with Iran

00:22:20.560 All right, guys.

00:22:30.880 Now we have to double-check here.

00:22:32.840 Is the president going to be continuing to talk, or do we have confirmation on that?

00:22:38.900 Has he gotten on that helicopter yet?

00:22:40.620 I'm asking the producers here live.

00:22:45.440 Can we get that shot up just so we can?

00:22:47.520 I want to confirm this because if he's, if he's walking, I want to see it. Let's, let's, let's get the shot up there so we can see the president. And this is what he does, you know, and I, and I, I should have known better than to cut away from the president initially because when he wants to talk, he certainly will talk and talk and talk.

00:23:05.440 We saw him at the Easter egg roll a couple of days ago and he turned that into a mini

00:23:10.140 press conference as well.

00:23:12.600 And so, um, uh, yeah, guys, uh, how's the helicopter looking?

00:23:18.080 Are we looking, uh, it was looking good.

00:23:19.380 He's heading out there, heading out to the helicopter now.

00:23:29.200 Oh, the camera's getting into position.

00:23:30.680 I'm told camera's still getting into position.

00:23:33.560 And what I'm seeing is the president seems to be talking, guys.

00:23:40.500 Can we get audio of this?

00:23:43.340 Oh, he's taken off. I see. Okay.

00:23:47.340 There's the president, President of the United States.

00:23:50.580 He's there. All right. He's made the turn.

00:23:53.040 He's made the big turn.

00:23:55.740 He's headed to the helicopter.

00:23:59.140 And I want to bring Libby Emmons back in here now.

00:24:01.620 and Libby of course we got we got we got Trump we got big Trump right there a little bit but

00:24:08.040 that's okay and I appreciate by the way something the president never really gets

00:24:11.200 credit for is that he is very open with the press it always has been yeah it's amazing actually

00:24:17.900 having covered the Biden administration and we would count how long it had been since he had

00:24:22.960 spoken to the press or delivered any real information to the American people he would go

00:24:27.280 on for, you know, weeks and months without saying a word to the press. So it is really heartening

00:24:32.560 to have a president who's so transparent. No, and it's, it's, it's a wonderful thing to say

00:24:38.020 because it's, it's something where, you know, we went through four years of this and, and we were

00:24:44.040 told, you know, again and again, and again, I was, I had one with, uh, on Piers Morgan yesterday

00:24:48.040 with Jojo from jurors. And she was saying, uh, you know, she was saying, um, you know, she was

00:24:54.940 saying, let's, you know, oh, you know, he was fine with me and this was good. But then we're also

00:24:59.600 told that they hid it from us, you know, et cetera, et cetera. Yeah. I also really enjoyed

00:25:05.780 what Trump said about Pope Leo. He was saying that he thought Pope Leo should speak his mind

00:25:10.900 and that, you know, he, of course, as the president felt that he should speak his mind.

00:25:15.100 And I think that two leaders who are on a global scale, who want what's best for the world and

00:25:21.340 for America, it's good if they are able to disagree and hash that out without being

00:25:27.060 enemies of one another. And I really have a lot of respect for that and for what he said about the

00:25:30.860 Pope. And it's, it's very, you know, it's very important. It's very important to have, and

00:25:41.380 having the information at our fingertips, you know, when we're doing a show live,

00:25:47.080 it's the kind of information that we need, you know, it's the kind of information that we need

00:25:50.880 in real time so that we're able to put up, put together what we're doing and making sure

00:25:57.180 that we're making the calls exactly as they need to be made. That's why, and I, and I

00:26:02.700 can understand the frustration when we look at this ATF report with Tyler Robinson and

00:26:06.540 the bullet, this initial preliminary report that's come out. And Libby, I want to just

00:26:11.100 double check that report, even though it's just, you know, we've just gotten this information

00:26:18.840 yesterday, when was that report actually done? When was it conducted? That report was done in

00:26:23.460 the fall. That report was done months and months and months ago. And it revealed that the bullet

00:26:30.160 that was the fragment that was recovered from Charlie Kirk during the autopsy, and I'm no

00:26:35.040 firearms expert here, but I read the report. It reveals that it was .30 caliber and that the gun

00:26:41.280 was also .30 caliber, if I understand my terminology correctly. And so that was-

00:26:48.120 Can we have, so you said, wait, I just want to, before you go off on, on the rest, I just want

00:26:51.960 to be clear. This report was conducted this week or this report was conducted on September 17th.

00:26:57.220 It was conducted September 17th. It was in the, it was right after Charlie was killed.

00:27:01.980 So, so this information, I want to be clear on this, this information, even though it is new

00:27:06.380 to the public, cause I want to talk about the, the, the provenance of the information that even

00:27:11.000 though this information is new to the public, it's not necessarily new to the prosecutors and

00:27:15.840 the defense team. This is information that they would have received the minute that they started

00:27:20.800 in on the case. The report's completed. They've gotten it. And presumably they've received more

00:27:26.600 information as well that has yet to make it to light. So here we are saying, and I know that

00:27:33.200 there were questions about the ballistics in this case, and rightfully so. It's perfectly fine. You

00:27:37.220 should always ask questions. But now that the report is out, now the evidence is out, we can

00:27:41.720 now see what the prosecution and the defense team have been seeing since september 17th so

00:27:48.840 it's this understanding that even though it seems new to us it's actually been known inside the

00:27:55.800 system internally all the way back since september of last year only seven days after charlie died

00:28:02.440 i think that's important isn't it yeah i think that's important as well and it also speaks to

00:28:07.520 what information the defense has, what information the prosecution has that they are using to build

00:28:13.980 their respective cases. And most of the information has been, you know, that we have seen come through

00:28:20.300 has all been released to, you know, within the court system to both parties in the fall. And so

00:28:26.600 that is definitely what's been going on here. So when we hear the defense saying that they need

00:28:31.660 to delay because they haven't reviewed the evidence, they've had the evidence for a very

00:28:36.060 long time. And when we see people saying, you know, nothing has been submitted into evidence,

00:28:40.200 that's because the trial has not yet begun. And we have not gotten to the point yet where

00:28:44.260 evidence is submitted to the court in order to, you know, prosecute the case. So, yeah,

00:28:50.520 this has been going on for a long time. They have the information that they need. They are building

00:28:54.920 their cases respectively with the information that they've had since the fall. And that's

00:28:59.740 something that we saw in the prosecution's motion, the state's motion against the delay

00:29:04.480 that the defense has asked for. They have said, you know, you've had this evidence for a long

00:29:09.580 time. You've had all the materials and all the reports just like we have. So it's time to press

00:29:14.100 on. That's exactly right. And so Libby, just logically speaking, right? So, you know, people

00:29:22.660 said, okay, so there's a 30-06 casing that was found inside the rifle. There's the other 30-06

00:29:28.720 bullets and casings which were found inside the magazine, inside that chamber of the rifle.

00:29:34.480 uh, there were fragments found in the autopsy of 30 caliber bullet, but that was not able to be

00:29:43.400 conclusively tied directly to Tyler Robinson's rifle. What does that mean? Libby.

00:29:49.220 Um, I think what that means is that it hasn't been fully tested. There are other tests that

00:29:54.780 can be done to make sure that those two pieces match, but it also seems true that the 30 caliber

00:30:02.440 bullet came from a 30 caliber gun and that, you know, I, I'm not a firearms expert at all,

00:30:08.620 but those two things are true. So there's every indication that it would have come from this gun

00:30:15.120 and there are additional tests that can be done. Well, so Libby, let's, let's just use,

00:30:21.120 let's just use our logic and reasoning here that, so, okay, we can't, we can't say, or they haven't

00:30:27.900 been able to say, and one of the reasons, by the way, and I explained this to Vita Duffy last week

00:30:32.040 was the fragments are just too small to match to that specific rifle. It's like saying, because

00:30:38.280 the, because the way it's identified is through the barrel, the rifling of the barrel, unique

00:30:42.240 characteristics to each barrel, um, that would be produced. If you fired another round through

00:30:46.160 the barrel, you would check those markings up against the markings of the bullet and then see

00:30:49.560 if they were a match kind of like fingerprint matching. And when we have this situation,

00:30:55.420 it's like, it's kind of like having a partial fingerprint where you say, well, we can tell

00:30:59.080 that it's similar, but we can't go all the way down the road of saying that it is a 100 percent

00:31:05.780 match. And so and that is because of the degraded fragmentation of the bullet itself. But they could

00:31:13.060 they can tell, though, that if you constituted it or reconstituted it together, it would be

00:31:17.840 a 30 caliber bullet. But when I say use our logic and reasoning, Libby.

00:31:23.360 is there any other evidence of a 30 caliber style rifle anywhere in the vicinity of charlie kirk on

00:31:33.020 that day yes or no no this this was the one this was the one it was a robinson family rifle this

00:31:40.240 is the one that they found this is the one that was used you know from what they understand and

00:31:45.420 there were no other rifles found at the scene this was really it it does look to me like the

00:31:52.220 defense's opportunity to say that robinson was not the guilty party here it that's definitely

00:31:58.540 closing right there their window of opportunity to do that i believe is closing the defense

00:32:03.360 i want to dig into this a little bit more libby can you can you hang on for a little bit because

00:32:08.460 now we got cut off a little bit i'd love to just put a pin in this if you can hang on just past

00:32:12.220 the break wrong with libby emmons jack posobik human events daily

00:32:15.160 jack where's jack where's jack where is he jack i want to see you

00:32:25.240 great job jack thank you what a job you do you know we have an incredible thing we're

00:32:32.540 always talking about the fake news and the bad but we have guys and these are the guys

00:32:37.120 who'll be getting police

00:32:38.040 All right, Jeff, we'll be back live, Human Events Daily.

00:32:43.320 We're on with Libby Emmons, walking through this new ballistics report

00:32:46.340 regarding the, from the ATF, bombshell ballistics report

00:32:50.400 that's come out here in the Tyler Robinson case.

00:32:54.080 And so Libby, just to put a pin on it, you know,

00:32:56.340 this is going to be something that will be discussed at length

00:33:00.360 in the preliminary hearing.

00:33:01.920 What are the dates currently of the preliminary hearing?

00:33:04.500 we have a hearing tomorrow about media in the courtroom and that is april 17th and then may

00:33:11.200 18th we are starting preliminary hearings and that is set to go every day and we'll see what

00:33:17.220 gets scheduled after that but may 18th looks to be when we start to get into the meat of it

00:33:21.880 and so libby walk us through just real quickly tomorrow we have a hearing in the tyler robinson

00:33:29.140 case as well this is one that you and i have really been focusing on this has to do with

00:33:34.400 cameras in the courtroom. Tell us about that. Yeah, so Judge Tony Graff is going to have to

00:33:39.900 finally decide whether or not he's going to allow cameras and digital media in the courtroom

00:33:45.780 to record what's going on in this case. That includes live streamers, and that includes,

00:33:51.940 you know, camera people who are taking photographs or video. And he's going to have to decide if he's

00:33:57.000 going to allow that. The defense has been opposed to that, and they are opposed because they don't

00:34:01.700 like what the press has written about their client since Charlie Kirk was murdered. The media also

00:34:08.340 has an attorney, so that media attorney will also be speaking about the necessity of transparency

00:34:14.680 and truth in this case. I think that's exactly what we need to get into. Libby Edmonds, where

00:34:22.720 can people go to get access not only to this report, but all of the reports? Because I know

00:34:27.920 that the post-millennial is releasing so many of them. And Libby, just by the way, as a thought

00:34:34.240 that occurs to me before I, you know, little administrative on air, why not? We should see

00:34:40.640 if there's a way we can make a specific, you know, heading or spot on the post-millennial site where

00:34:49.080 people can just go to get all of the reporting in the case. And that way you could go through

00:34:53.520 finding the documents, the headlines, et cetera. Do you see what I'm saying?

00:34:57.200 Yeah. An archive where you can read everything that's going on in the case from the post

00:35:00.700 millennial would be very cool. You can check out what we've got at the post millennial.com. Also

00:35:06.060 humanevents.com. And you can find more from me at the pod millennial, just my podcast or at

00:35:11.920 Libby Emmons on Twitter. Thank you. All right, Libby Emmons. Thank you so much for that. I want

00:35:18.200 to bring in now uh navy veteran tom sour and uh tom you know he's been on we've been talking about

00:35:25.220 iran quite a bit but tom i'd love if i can get you know just sort of your take on this ballistics

00:35:31.560 report uh tom how are you i'm doing good brother how you doing man i'm doing very well so tom when

00:35:39.840 i look through this report you know there's these questions so they've recovered the intact bullets

00:35:47.780 bullets that were not fired, right?

00:35:49.280 Those are in the chamber of the rifle and, or excuse me, those were in the, in the magazine

00:35:53.920 well.

00:35:54.920 Then we see as well the, the spent casing, which is recovered in the chamber.

00:36:01.500 The fragments were recovered during the autopsy and because they fragmented, they aren't able

00:36:09.980 to be specifically matched to this rifle.

00:36:12.920 So, Tom, when when we see all this, you know, there's this question of, are is this bullet the same bullet from those, you know, from that rifle?

00:36:20.860 Because, you know, this is going to be a key question in the trial.

00:36:25.300 Now, as far as we know, it's the only gun or rifle that was found at the scene.

00:36:30.580 We know that this was an individual who there's lots of other evidence about.

00:36:35.480 But but just from a ballistics perspective, is it you know, what would you say the odds are that this was fired by that you would find a gun in this condition that you would find the specific 30 out six cartridges and and jackets in this condition with the with the etchings on them?

00:36:54.120 But then somehow that also not be the gun that fired the shot.

00:36:59.940 Do you get what I'm saying?

00:37:01.080 I totally get what you're saying.

00:37:02.820 And I'd say it's beyond any reasonable doubt. Let's just say that, right? I mean, it's beyond any doubt. And look, to me, I'm troubled by the fact that there are people who claim to be serious, that the round that killed Charlie did not come from that rifle, and that Robinson was not the guy on the roof.

00:37:25.480 um i i think it's very troubling just in general but i mean this is one of those things where

00:37:30.680 it's pretty obvious what happened here so um i i just have a hard time i just even even i i get

00:37:38.400 you know you know take take the opinion out of it right it's it's just what just from an odds

00:37:44.420 perspective as a as a you know as an expert marksman i think you had an e right yeah i've

00:37:50.400 had a little bit i've done a little bit of shooting in my day a little bit a little got

00:37:53.700 right extra marksman yeah i mean just what are the odds that you'd find a rifle in that condition

00:37:58.560 and then you'd find a fragmented bullet in that condition and um that and that wouldn't be the

00:38:05.260 it wouldn't be it it's next to impossible i mean what was there another shooter just uh feet away

00:38:12.440 who fired the exact same type of round and that robinson was a patsy or something not but just

00:38:18.120 like the the simple forensics and the ballistics report i mean that's enough right there look if

00:38:22.760 it turns out that Robinson had a, you know, he had his 30 odd six, you know, rifle, a hunting

00:38:28.880 rifle, and then Charlie had been killed with a nine millimeter pistol round. Okay. That would be

00:38:34.400 some sort of doubt, I suppose, obviously wouldn't be, but that just simply not what happened.

00:38:39.380 So it's, it, to me, it's just, it's so painfully obvious and frankly, really unfortunate that these

00:38:47.100 types of, you know, look, I, I, I don't blame the defense. Let me ask you from a ballistic

00:38:52.740 From a ballistic's perspective, and obviously I have lots of emotions about this one as well, there's no question.

00:38:59.420 But from a ballistic's perspective, do bullets always do the same thing when fired?

00:39:05.460 Do bullets always travel in the exact same pattern, in the exact same way, just like they do on the range in real life?

00:39:13.120 Is that something that you can always perform a test again and again and again?

00:39:17.420 No, it's never consistent.

00:39:18.680 And I think that's a great point because there's so many variables when you're dealing with a piece of metal or lead that's going, oh, my God, fast at various conditions, various densities of a bullet that has, you know, like it's not every bullet is perfectly uniform all the time.

00:39:34.780 It's close enough, but, you know, with different wind condition, how it strikes and just the angle of the strike, like, look, when rounds impact things, they do very strange things in a manner that is not scientifically predictable.

00:39:48.680 So it's just like, yeah, is there, is there a certain phrase that you might hear in, in the

00:39:53.480 community that, uh, that captures this? Yeah. Bullets do weird things. Well, let's do weird

00:39:58.620 things. And it's, and so the idea that, that, you know, in this case that it did fragment

00:40:04.800 and those fragments, which of course came out during the autopsy, um, will play a significant

00:40:10.900 role in that autopsy. Um, you know, is that something that you would see as consistent

00:40:16.620 with the firing of a .30-06.

00:40:19.360 Yeah, absolutely.

00:40:21.100 100%.

00:40:21.580 And the thing is, I mean, the fact that it's obviously very clearly

00:40:25.260 came from the rifle in question, it's very clear, you know.

00:40:30.260 So, yeah, bullets do strange things, absolutely.

00:40:33.260 They do weird things when they enter the body,

00:40:35.380 when they hit a metal target, when they hit wooden targets.

00:40:38.400 They all do all sorts of strange things.

00:40:40.560 But at the end of the day, look, we know the type of bullet that killed Charlie,

00:40:44.920 and we we have the rifle where it came from where it was recovered everything there it's it's it's

00:40:52.120 pretty pretty open shut case as far as i'm concerned so well and and that's but but you

00:40:58.380 know i i want to i think it's important to go through the evidence and to prosecute the evidence

00:41:03.620 at the same level that it's going to face of the scrutiny at the trial right right and so that's

00:41:09.860 why we look at these things and as an investigator you have to say okay you know what else what other

00:41:14.660 right? What else, what other? And if you look at it and you say, okay, well, I know that it was

00:41:21.580 a 30 caliber round. I know I've got this rifle. I don't have any other rifles around. I, you know,

00:41:27.920 I have this spent casing that is inside the round, you know, inside the chamber. I have all these

00:41:33.940 other rounds. We know that one shot was fired. I find a rifle that always one shot fired. I mean,

00:41:38.940 again, Tom, what I'm, what I'm talking about here is, you know, you're just, you're just

00:41:42.860 ratcheting up the probability over and over and over that this is the rifle yeah i mean let's just

00:41:49.920 say for instance yeah that's absolutely the rifle now for let's say tyler robinson hadn't turned

00:41:54.420 himself in which by the way he turned himself in right and he's not done that and let's let's say

00:41:59.740 the killer was still at large then we might not know who the killer was but we know the murder

00:42:05.900 weapon so i mean we already have it it's right there it's all well and then tom you know right

00:42:12.360 and tom as as you say we you know having the weapon you know there are you know there then

00:42:17.620 these things called and i know that through eod work that you've done and i'm certainly when i

00:42:22.840 was attached to you to your unit um you know there's these things called fingerprints that

00:42:27.580 can then be lifted from that rifle and uh touch dna in many cases that can be lifted and then

00:42:34.240 And further investigation can be done to that piece of evidence to be able to tie a certain person or, you know, in the past, a terrorist group or other group, a military unit, whatever it may be, to that specific item.

00:42:51.480 And so these are the steps that you would then take if you can't get an exact match.

00:42:55.400 You say, well, let's see what fingerprints are on this.

00:42:57.140 Let's see what DNA is on this, et cetera, et cetera.

00:42:59.580 Tom Sauer, United States Navy veteran here joining us.

00:43:03.820 Human Events Daily will be right back.

00:43:17.800 So we're going to call this the Jack Posobiec Appreciation Hour.

00:43:21.060 I can say confidently, I believe, I think Josh Shapiro would be the vice presidential nominee if it wasn't for Jack Posobiec.

00:43:26.880 And that is, I'll be honest.

00:43:35.780 All right, folks, Jack Posobiec back live here, Human Events Daily.

00:43:39.320 Folks, one in three people are going to face a battle with cancer in this life,

00:43:43.140 and most are never going to see it coming.

00:43:45.040 Well, Dr. Kelly Victory at the Wellness Company did everything right. 0.99

00:43:48.980 She exercised, she ate clean, she avoided processed foods, 0.66

00:43:52.240 and had zero symptoms when she went in for a routine mammogram in July of 2023.

00:43:56.880 Yet she walked out with an aggressive cancer diagnosis that could have been fatal if found

00:44:01.720 later, revealed a hard truth.

00:44:03.940 Even healthy people get cancer and exposed a bigger issue.

00:44:07.620 Most modern medicine is reactive, not preventative.

00:44:10.840 You wait for a scare until you start to care.

00:44:13.420 Every day, our bodies are under constant pressure from stress, toxins, inflammation, and immune

00:44:18.060 strain.

00:44:18.660 That damage builds quickly year after year and quietly year after year until diseases

00:44:22.980 start to form.

00:44:24.160 Dr. Vickery asks a different question.

00:44:28.060 What can we do daily to support the body before something goes wrong?

00:44:31.540 That letter to formulate SHIELD.

00:44:33.400 SHIELD is a two-part natural system designed to support immune balance, antioxidant defense, and cellular health.

00:44:39.680 Exactly the systems you want strong to live a long, healthy life.

00:44:44.440 In the morning, drink the high-dose nutraceutical cocoa mix.

00:44:47.560 Done with food, take the soft gels with ingredients like medicinal mushrooms, turmeric, green tea, olive leaf, berberine, and black cumin seed oil.

00:45:08.340 you know, when we look at everything that's been going on in Iran, it seems as though the war,

00:45:13.760 President Trump sending out signals that the war is winding down and that ultimately all of this

00:45:19.840 has been about China. And I have been pounding this for weeks, really since day one of the

00:45:25.060 conflict, that it's all about putting that restriction on China, constraining their ability

00:45:31.200 and working to upend America's dependence on Chinese goods and Chinese manufacturing

00:45:37.500 so that we can then eventually decouple the United States and China. This is what the tariffs are 0.50

00:45:45.500 about. Shrinking that Chinese grip, the U.S. trade deficit, which is now lowering. Scott

00:45:51.420 Besant, who I was with yesterday, the secretary, said that in the press conference. And then we

00:45:56.200 also see as well, it's about reducing reliance on Beijing. We know that they're working, of course,

00:46:02.600 with transshipments. They, you know, they send something to one country, then it goes to another

00:46:06.640 country. They say, oh, it's from Vietnam. It's not from China. But the original source was China.

00:46:10.280 That's why there's great programs out there. China Exit Incentive Program is one of those, you know, that's really helping tariff relief for companies that have been actively reducing their dependence on China.

00:46:24.580 So I've said from the start that I think this is all about China. Tom Sauer, who is here as well, United States Navy EOD veteran, who's with us. Tom, we've been talking, of course, the mining of the strait that happened to an extent. Right.

00:46:42.740 We're still working on understanding that extent.

00:46:44.880 Then our big Navy came in, U.S. Navy dominance came in and put the blockade on the street

00:46:50.360 and said, guys, you know, I understand you talk about Cargill Island, but let's give

00:46:54.040 the U.S. Navy a chance.

00:46:55.740 And that's exactly who the president relied upon was the United States Navy, which is

00:46:59.520 continuing this partial blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and performing absolutely admirably.

00:47:06.040 Tom, what is the latest?

00:47:08.580 Yeah, man.

00:47:08.940 And so one of the things that obviously I talk to a lot of folks who are in theater or very close to the action, so to speak, and one of the things that I've mentioned here and on other shows is that we have not yet found a mine, at least as of a couple hours ago, we have not yet found any mines.

00:47:24.440 We have been searching, though, and we knew that we received what we call, you know, in the intel community, it's the indications and warnings, right, that, hey, we think that the Iranians might have been able to lay a dozen or so mines before we took out all their major mine layers and most of their mine inventory.

00:47:43.980 However, you could still put a few speedboats with, you know, two, three, four mines on them in the middle of the night and just kick them over the side. 0.74

00:47:51.060 So that's what we suspect happened. It's what we call indiscriminate mining and that they did so in the main traffic separation scheme, which is like the main part of the strait where most merchant traffic goes through.

00:48:02.500 So we killed all their mine layers, took out all their inventory, but they still might have gotten a few through.

00:48:08.180 So now we're searching that actively. But here's the other thing is some of the indications and warnings that I've received from people in the know.

00:48:17.240 and uh you know this isn't anything classified or anything like that obviously i wouldn't share it

00:48:22.200 even if i knew what it was is that uh we do believe though that they're possibly in the past

00:48:27.320 24 48 hours that there has been some additional covert surreptitious mining going on same type

00:48:36.220 of thing because again you know uh you know you might know and i know this very well that the

00:48:40.940 persian gulf and the surrounding area is a very very congested water space there's all sorts of

00:48:46.440 like little fishing boats, merchant traffic all over the place. You know, it's, it's, it's very

00:48:52.100 tough in terms of coordinating between all the contacts and making sure you don't run or bump

00:48:57.080 into anybody else. So what that means, though, is that like, hey, there could have been some bad

00:49:01.100 guys who, you know, got one onto a fishing boat or some, you know, civilian looking boat, and in

00:49:07.080 the middle of the night kicked a couple of mines over the side. So there could be some more mines

00:49:12.860 that we are going to have to deal with.

00:49:15.180 However, again, worth stressing,

00:49:17.640 we are actively searching the area

00:49:19.540 using Expeditionary MCM,

00:49:22.680 which is unmanned underwater vehicles,

00:49:25.760 underwater drones, so to speak,

00:49:28.240 and we're searching the area.

00:49:30.040 So there could be more,

00:49:31.380 but again, we still haven't found anything yet,

00:49:33.940 to my knowledge.

00:49:36.500 Well, and that's interesting

00:49:37.420 because what you could be seeing is potentially,

00:49:40.760 now, obviously, if that would be a violation

00:49:42.400 of the ceasefire if if that were true right so you know that that you know stipulating that but

00:49:47.540 also what what's very interesting about that is iran could be potentially trying to slip in as you

00:49:54.060 say under the cover of night cover of darkness and try to because what have they been trying to do

00:49:59.660 all along they've been trying to close the main channel of the strait of hormuz and enact this

00:50:04.900 this new northern route for countries to go through uh passing larrick island where they

00:50:11.660 have to pay this iranian toll so it would you know in the strategy of that essentially you're closing

00:50:17.500 this wider southern route so that everyone has to pass through that northern route and pay their

00:50:21.580 toll would that be what you're looking at yeah that's probably what they're going for i don't

00:50:25.980 think that's going to work for them that that's anybody going through the strait because we've

00:50:29.740 made it really clear that we're going to interdict any of those people any of those ships that are

00:50:33.740 transiting and even neutral ships that are not coming out in iranian port that uh might be headed

00:50:39.740 somewhere or are hoping to pay the toll, which doesn't make much sense why they would. But if

00:50:44.660 they tried to, we had the right to interdict them. And keep in mind, we've got the strength of the

00:50:48.500 entire United States Navy. We've got destroyers out there. But don't forget is everyone says,

00:50:53.240 well, also, you can always do the blockade at a distance. They call it a distant blockade

00:50:57.920 because some people were touting that, oh, the Americans chicken out. Look at these three or

00:51:02.320 four ships. They transit the strait and they already got out. Like we didn't stop them. It's

00:51:06.980 like we don't have to stop any ships in the middle of the strait it's much better if we wait until 1.00

00:51:12.500 they get on the open ocean away from any iranian capability or anyone's capability and then like 0.64

00:51:18.700 coastal defense cruise missiles by the way and drones and all the rest of it you know the ships

00:51:23.380 can be the united states navy could interdict ships anywhere that's kind of the whole point

00:51:27.200 yeah and a matter of fact like that's actually what the english did with the germans they did

00:51:31.200 they did a blockade from a distance they waited until those ships got way out to sea so we're

00:51:35.120 able to see them so then further the Germans were mining like crazy yeah they were and then it's uh

00:51:41.020 I mean there's still 80,000 mines in the Baltic Sea now so from World War II which is insane but 0.62

00:51:47.280 then keep mine as well there's actually uh there's if I remember correctly the um uh one of the bays

00:51:53.520 outside of uh outside of Vietnam has a ton of mines in it that were left by by somebody I forget who

00:51:58.240 did that yeah that was us yeah on Haiphong Harbor yeah we cleared some of them but there's still

00:52:02.840 that was us yes yeah harbor and not that you would know anything about that tom no not at all so

00:52:09.340 here's the thing though is also keep mind if we need to board these vessels we will because it's

00:52:14.120 worth remembering there are thousands of marines on board navy ships part of this task force who

00:52:19.560 are sweating their butts off who are waiting and are very upset at the possibility that they might

00:52:24.920 not get to kill anyone this year and so i mean they're ready to go oh boy i'm serious 0.92

00:52:32.820 man like i mean look that's what marines are for hey that's what they want to do devil dogs that's

00:52:37.940 that's what they're trained to do that's what they're for we love them semper fi to the devil

00:52:42.180 dogs tom you of course are a devil dog as well as united states eod special operator tom where

00:52:48.740 can people follow you catch me uh on twitter at thomas b sour at thomas b sour all right 0.98
