Chaos on campus after Kyle Rittenhouse's presentation came to an abrupt end.
00:00:55.720
The University of Memphis says that Rittenhouse had the venue booked from 7 to 9 p.m., but just before 8 o'clock, his security team abruptly removed him from the stage.
00:01:06.040
Around that same time, a massive student protest happening outside took a turn.
00:01:11.600
President Joe Biden's administration is changing its plan for vehicle emission standards.
00:01:16.880
The new plan will give automakers more time to grow their electric vehicle production.
00:01:21.780
The emission standards will also be phased in more slowly than the Biden administration first proposed.
00:01:28.040
The Department of Justice announced a new antitrust lawsuit against Apple.
00:01:32.300
After a years-long investigation, the suit alleges that Apple created a monopoly on the smartphone market by blocking its competitors from accessing certain iPhone features.
00:01:40.520
In a recent Marist poll on the 2024 election, registered North Carolina voters favor Trump over Biden by 3 percent, which is within the margin of error.
00:01:49.780
Biden was slightly weaker in the rural counties, but it was the opposite for Trump.
00:01:54.380
He won 76 percent of the vote in the Phoenix metro counties of Maricopa and Pinal and 75 percent in Pima.
00:02:01.580
But his performance in the rural northern and southern counties was at or above 85 percent.
00:02:06.900
The Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, is now back in the Middle East, pushing to secure an immediate ceasefire.
00:02:12.900
This new resolution, according to Secretary Blinken, would call for an immediate ceasefire tied to the release of the hostages.
00:02:20.760
U.S. congressional leaders from both parties are working to sell their members on a $1.2 trillion funding package to keep the government open past midnight tomorrow.
00:02:30.160
It's been a week of back and forth rulings on Senate Bill 4.
00:02:35.100
Yesterday, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals started hearing the arguments that are going to shape where this fight goes next.
00:02:40.300
For now, the next hearing is scheduled for April 3rd.
00:02:43.600
Texas has a right to defend ourselves, and we will use that authority to declare an invasion and fight back against that invasion.
00:02:54.400
Today's edition of Human Events Daily, powered by us here at Washington, D.C.
00:03:06.360
A scoop here at exclusive to Human Events Daily.
00:03:09.200
The House Oversight Committee has officially launched an investigation into the Transition Integrity Project.
00:03:19.700
We've got the letter from Congressman Pete Sessions' office.
00:03:23.820
Sessions, of course, the Chairman of the Subcommittee on Government Operations and Fiscal Work.
00:03:28.620
And this, folks, we're going to have Mike Benz on in a minute.
00:03:35.220
This is everything that we've been talking about since the Republicans took back the House.
00:03:40.680
This is identifying a key actor for the first time, going after them.
00:03:46.380
This is a records, by the way, a records request.
00:03:51.740
You are officially on notice, Transition Integrity Project.
00:03:59.400
You're going to have to put all of this forward.
00:04:01.460
They're specifically going into the activities of the Transition Integrity Project in 2020.
00:04:09.400
The fact that the exercise was administered adjacent to the Georgetown University Law Center, as you am reading from the letter now, as you know, Georgetown University operates as a 501c3 nonprofit organization, receives hundreds of millions in federal funding,
00:04:26.800
and would be highly inappropriate for a university that relies on federal funding to conduct partisan political activity.
00:04:34.420
They're seeking to gain a specific and comprehensive understanding of the 2020 Wargaming Project.
00:04:45.940
We know there are over 100 participants, but only 15 names have come out.
00:04:49.740
Every single one of them, and oh, by the way, every single participant that may have now, or at the time, a U.S. national security clearance.
00:05:08.560
This is sent directly from the Oversight Committee, from Sessions Office, to Rosa Brooks, the dean of the center at Georgetown University.
00:05:18.720
And it's also asking a lot of questions about Mary McCord, Professor Mary McCord.
00:05:26.520
By the way, this is all transcripts, all audio, all video, all Zoom, all digital.
00:05:31.780
Any recordings, any records that the Transition Integrity Project have must be turned over to Congress.
00:05:38.200
And if they don't, Congress will then begin issuing subpoenas.
00:05:43.340
We all know what happens to people who fail to respond to those subpoenas from congressional committees.
00:05:54.760
Mary McCord, executive director of ICAP over there at the Georgetown University.
00:06:00.420
She comes up in this quite a bit, trying to end the civilian leadership over the military.
00:06:05.740
No, sorry Mary, all of that is about to come due.
00:06:13.360
Massive, absolutely sprawling investigation of the Transition Integrity Project in Georgetown has just begun.
00:06:35.740
So you'll never miss a clip, you'll never miss a new live episode, and we're putting them out every single day of the week.
00:06:42.620
When I grew up in the hood, I rolled with bloods, and them boys had a saying.
00:06:47.780
You can't be listening to all that slappy whack, trimatazol, it's a bam ship, nippy bam bam, like Human Events with Jack Posobiec.
00:06:59.740

00:08:11.240
So, guys, this investigation, what we're looking into, this is something that a lot of people,
00:08:17.880
Raheem Kassam over at the National Pulse, one of the first people that clued me onto it,
00:08:22.420
then another guy who came around, Mike Benz, the Foundation of Freedom Online,
00:08:27.560
has been digging into these people in this group specifically for a long time.
00:08:38.340
The, and I'm sure you knew that this was kind of circulating.
00:08:44.200
Transition Integrity Project Georgetown has just been essentially served.
00:08:48.840
They're being asked to preserve and then turn over all records related to the Transition Integrity Project
00:08:54.700
and this new project regarding civilian control of the military
00:09:00.340
and eliminating the ability of government to take care of the military.
00:09:05.520
Mike, walk us through what this investigation is going to look like
00:09:13.840
I'm actually just learning right now that they've been,
00:09:16.300
that they've been served with a subpoena, evidently.
00:09:26.400
Well, this really gets into the heart of darkness of the deep power structures
00:09:32.700
within the U.S. government and what was really,
00:09:41.340
was a group of about 60 to 70 apex predators of the national security state,
00:09:49.620
and their political opportunists on both sides of the aisle representing the donors and drafters as well on the outside.
00:09:57.080
This is basically a plot, probably the cleanest thing we've ever seen in this country to a domestic color revolution planning crew.
00:10:07.000
This was a group where, just to name a few of them, they put out in June 2020 a blueprint document for how to stop Trump from being inaugurated,
00:10:20.840
At the time, they were terrified that Donald Trump was going to beat Joe Biden.
00:10:25.180
They had just cooked up this mail-in ballot scheme, but they weren't totally sure it was going to work.
00:10:31.200
So they put out a document with, it was a 17-page document with four different scenarios in there of what to do in the event of an election crisis.
00:10:43.300
And scenario three was a, quote, clear Trump win, which was, what if Trump wins the Electoral College?
00:10:53.080
What can we do in control of state governorships?
00:10:55.800
What can we do in control of all these little turnkey anarcho-tyranny groups like Black Lives Matter and Antifa
00:11:02.880
in order to bring the country to a halt, to destabilize it as if this were Yugoslavia
00:11:08.960
and induce basically a crisis where Trump can't operate the government and is forced out of office
00:11:16.180
in the same way we ran Slobodan Milosevic out of the country, in the same way they ran Viktor Yanukovych out of Ukraine.
00:11:22.840
And in this document, they specifically contemplated doing favors for what they called racial justice activists.
00:11:32.800
This is just one month after the George Floyd riots broke out.
00:11:35.920
What could the Joe Biden campaign do to do favors for Black Lives Matter to make sure that Black Lives Matter
00:11:41.700
was responsive to calls to take to the streets from the Joe Biden campaign?
00:11:47.220
Now you know who role-played Joe Biden in this TIP simulation?
00:11:50.420
John Podesta, Hillary Clinton's campaign manager, and the man who is now the head of the largest slush fund
00:11:59.220
in the federal government, a $370 billion energy slush fund with strange tentacles into the State Department
00:12:06.500
that the House Republicans have been trying to get more information on because they've been shielding
00:12:14.560
And, you know, whose role-playing Donald Trump in this scenario was a combination of Bill Kristol
00:12:20.200
and David Frum, both of whom are tightly intertwined in the national security state's interplay with the media.
00:12:27.820
David Frum over at The Atlantic, former George Bush speechwriter, and Bill Kristol,
00:12:32.720
who's kind of the, you know, the mouthpiece of the neocon CIA right.
00:12:40.200
And so you had basically a coterie of four-star generals, CIA folks.
00:12:47.340
Rosa Brooks was a high-ranking Pentagon official with a CIA blue badge.
00:12:52.360
This was basically a CIA, DOD, bipartisan blob hit job for how to cause a domestic color revolution
00:13:03.900
We've never seen anything like this in our country.
00:13:06.020
The fact that it's being exposed now by Congress potentially is really catching the tiger by the tail,
00:13:11.320
and I can't wait to see what comes next in this.
00:13:13.160
And this is really incredible because not only are they going, they're going after the specifics,
00:13:20.780
all the dirty details, all the dirty laundry, they're asking for the names,
00:13:25.840
anyone with security clearance who was involved, any documents that were produced,
00:13:31.040
any Zoom calls, any phone calls, any transcripts, any digital recordings,
00:13:35.660
all of that has to be frozen as of, and I'm told that this was sent over to Georgetown
00:13:45.040
I didn't even, Mike knows, I didn't even send him a copy of it beforehand
00:13:50.440
And then really what they're drilling down on is this Mary McCord,
00:13:54.960
who folks will remember, Mary McCord was one of the chief deputies of who Robert Mueller
00:14:04.100
Mary McCord is now over at Georgetown and has most recently,
00:14:08.560
so that was 2020, and of course the nullification project of all of 2017 going into 2018 to prevent
00:14:16.240
Trump and the administration from actually having their agenda put forward in government,
00:14:20.840
this is what they're completely obsessed with, and they're bringing it back again
00:14:24.500
because they've said this bizarre NBC article, but it's actually not bizarre if you understand
00:14:29.540
the playbook, because they're trying to bring this up again to say,
00:14:33.180
even if Trump does win, we are going to prevent him from being able to apply the Insurrection Act.
00:14:41.600
And it's like, well, wait a minute, the Insurrection Act, what uprising are you talking about?
00:14:46.280
He hasn't won the election yet, nothing's, the election hasn't even been conducted as far as we know.
00:14:53.580
Mike, what are they talking about when they talk about the Insurrection Act here?
00:14:57.060
Well, this is what the end stage of a color revolution looks like.
00:15:01.820
It looks like hundreds of thousands of U.S.-funded, NGO, rent-a-riot street muscle
00:15:07.540
taking to the streets, overrunning the police, and running the elected officers out of office,
00:15:13.940
occupying the federal buildings, bringing the instruments of executive governance to a grinding halt.
00:15:21.120
And so the way to contain that, traditionally, is through basically bringing in the army to defend
00:15:28.240
the government against large-scale destabilization techniques like that.
00:15:32.820
This is how Lukashenko stopped the attempted U.S. color revolution in Belarus in 2020.
00:15:38.580
This is what countries around the world have been forced to essentially do,
00:15:42.900
to fight off State Department, open society, color revolution-type tactics.
00:15:51.120
They know that the only way to stop that is by essentially bringing in the National Guard
00:15:56.540
So what they want to do is pre-block the ability to do that so that they can overrun Washington,
00:16:14.400
Doesn't that then make this essentially them telling the president or just telling everybody
00:16:19.780
out there really the powers that be throughout Washington?
00:16:23.340
The next, of course, will be the Atlantic Magazine article saying something along the lines of,
00:16:28.140
you know, it's time to end those outdated notions of civilian control of the military,
00:16:33.420
the institutions that run the military, the interagency, right?
00:16:38.920
The interagency must maintain power within Washington.
00:16:44.040
Mike, of course, always calls it the blob, but here within the Beltway, they call it the interagency,
00:16:48.780
and you must always bow down to the interagency.
00:16:57.040
You know, I mean, they, this is the military basically saying,
00:17:00.780
hey, the civilians, if they're left in control of the military, they might actually do what the
00:17:09.780
This is the class that has the national security clearances and is currently in occupation of,
00:17:15.380
you know, of the military saying, actually, we don't have to answer to you.
00:17:21.680
We also have the Justice Department on our side, and we've got this Department of Dirty Tricks
00:17:26.060
that we can deploy legally to be able to stop you from stopping us.
00:17:30.500
And so, you know, that's kind of what this story is boiling up to.
00:17:35.500
You know, as I sort of, you know, reflect back on this, I mean, this is the heart of Russiagate.
00:17:46.020
This is the foreign policy overclass who is terrified that domestic citizens, domestic voters
00:17:53.080
might vote to change their, you know, their foreign policy for personal profit schemes
00:17:58.420
might focus on making this country great, not necessarily their foreign interests in foreign
00:18:04.200
countries, their foreign interests in Ukraine, their foreign interests in Latin America,
00:18:08.780
their foreign interests in the Middle East or in Southeast Asia.
00:18:11.840
And, you know, they want to stop us from stopping them, and that's what TIP is essentially all
00:18:22.720
Ron Paul says it goes back to Dealey Plaza, 1963.
00:18:33.520
These are influencers, and they're friends of mine.
00:18:47.520
Folks, there's a lot to be nervous about there.
00:18:55.340
Go ahead and buy a gun, and then leave it in a safe.
00:18:57.880
And if there's ever an emergency, they're not going to be prepared, and they run the risk
00:19:08.460
Unfortunately, we know that training is time-consuming.
00:19:10.580
When getting to the range, assuming there's even one nearby, ammo prices are through the roof
00:19:15.380
Well, iTarget Pro was invented so that you could practice any time in the safety and convenience
00:19:22.080
Simply download the iTarget Pro app, load your caliber-specific laser bullet into your firearm,
00:19:27.100
You can practice alone, compete with friends, use the safely trained friends and family
00:19:33.400
Go to iTargetPro.com and get 10% off with promo code POSO.
00:19:37.480
This is the smartest, safest way to train, which is why competitive shooters trust dry
00:19:48.680
I got to tell you, out of all the stuff that we talk about on the show, this is the one I
00:19:51.640
get asked about, what is that thing, the laser bullet thing?
00:19:59.980
Mike, talk to me about the importance of the fact that the Republicans are actually opening
00:20:05.640
investigation into something that could have a real impact on 2024.
00:20:10.660
The fact that there will now be finally an official investigation into anything regarding
00:20:19.120
the censorship industrial complex and the fact that this now gives people like yourselves,
00:20:24.800
people like us, people like Darren Bede at Revolver, Raheem Kassam, National Pulse, now
00:20:29.000
it gives them a backstop to be able to dig in as we get closer to the election.
00:20:35.060
Yeah, these, I mean, this was really the magic of the Russiagate special probe for two and
00:20:39.520
a half years that dogged the Trump administration.
00:20:42.340
This, you know, in that case, they had nothing.
00:20:46.920
We have a smoking gun case on every front, including firsthand confessions and source
00:20:51.840
documents of them all confessing their dirty deeds.
00:20:55.060
But even when, you know, there was this in-process set of congressional hearings and special
00:21:00.160
investigations in Russiagate when they had nothing, it still was very effective at applying
00:21:05.560
a lot of friction to the White House, incurring legal costs, you know, being faced with a media
00:21:10.540
storm, being constantly subpoenaed for their communications, targeting things at a network level rather
00:21:17.820
And that causes a lot of friction in the machinery of, you know, of the target.
00:21:24.020
You know, in this case, you know, it's the blob.
00:21:26.820
It is the blob that brought all of these, you know, frankly, BS, you know, legal indictments
00:21:34.040
that orchestrated the fake impeachment, that sicked the 9-11 FBI director on the sitting
00:21:41.420
In this case, you know, this has been very effective in taking on the censorship industry,
00:21:46.700
combining congressional hearings with investigations, with congressional reports, with congressional
00:21:52.100
subpoenas, requiring the freezing of records and the turning over of records.
00:21:56.860
And even when they delete the records, that creates a new wave of scandals, because that
00:22:04.300
When you have these situations, like the Department of Homeland Security conducting censorship requests
00:22:11.260
via signal, you know, encrypted chat, doing things that should have been foiable.
00:22:15.760
When you have situations like Hillary Clinton with the bleach bit affair of, you know, deleting
00:22:21.280
things using special techniques because it would lead to a criminal indictment otherwise, you
00:22:28.480
can bet that TIP is going to be doing a similar thing.
00:22:31.440
I mean, the idea that these people who were the same folks around that bleach bit nonsense
00:22:37.340
with Hillary Clinton would retain all their records is something I find hard to believe.
00:22:45.600
But forcing them to say on record, oh, you know what, the dog ate my confession notes and
00:22:51.400
the digital dog ate my emails, force them to say that.
00:22:56.380
And this thing should stretch months and years.
00:22:59.620
What TIP did is 10,000 times a bigger crime than whatever was alleged of 20 of Trump's
00:23:11.100
If that was a plot around electors to overturn an election, then TIP had the mother of all
00:23:21.200
They straight up said in their own formation documents there, clear Trump win, send alternate
00:23:29.260
electors to stop inauguration, plan acts of effective terrorism to have street muscle obstruct the
00:23:39.520
Gee, where have I heard obstruction of a federal proceeding before?
00:23:43.420
That was the entire impetus for the for the felony for the felony charges around January
00:23:50.020
Every single one of these TIP members who participated in that or took or took an affirmative act in
00:23:56.980
All you need for a conspiracy is agreement and a single act in furtherance.
00:24:02.020
They are all in agreement with those source documents of TIP.
00:24:05.100
So if there's one email that shows an affirmative action in furtherance of that, there's one
00:24:10.100
email to a Black Lives Matter coordinator liaison.
00:24:15.540
That's another 10 years for for conspiracy for every single one of them.
00:24:20.140
Everything that was done to to the to the Trump world legal folks in Georgia can be brought
00:24:27.980
immediately against the folks around TIP if just a single one of those those follow up
00:24:35.900
emails or text communications show a single act in furtherance.
00:24:40.500
And knowing these people, there's not a snowflakes chance in hell that they came up with this
00:24:45.000
sophisticated document, spent three days in the hot summer of D.C. to plan all this and
00:24:52.720
Well, and in addition to that, too, you know, to your point, the actual going after them,
00:24:59.160
really giving this thing teeth, that's not going to happen while Merrick Garland is in
00:25:05.200
But what they're able to put together this year, number one, you can freeze in place a
00:25:10.940
lot of these people and it would create all of that friction that you're talking about
00:25:14.060
and make it very hard for them to run these same types of operations.
00:25:16.820
If you know you've got congressional investigators rooting around in their emails, rooting around
00:25:26.500
But if they find anything else, Stanford, Harvard, any other of these places that are
00:25:34.100
And then the minute that the new DOJ comes in, you hand the report right back to them
00:25:40.680
I don't know, maybe, maybe, you know, I don't know.
00:25:42.740
People said maybe Mike Lee becomes the attorney general.
00:25:46.320
Maybe it's Ted Cruz, whoever it is, whoever the new, the new base attorney general, Mike Davis
00:25:50.680
in his first 30 days as acting AG, hand it over to him and say, this is who you go after.
00:25:59.340
Let's just say one of those, they, now remember, they were planning these destabilization operations
00:26:05.920
Yeah, this is just like the, the, the BLM riots.
00:26:08.320
I mean, these were in five, you know, they, there were 500 discrete riots in essentially every
00:26:13.620
You know, even red states, there would be these blue pocket cities that they would, that they
00:26:18.100
would orchestrate these out of, let's just say, for example, that TIP reached out to
00:26:26.760
We know that we know they literally were plotting to engage BLM and do favors for them.
00:26:32.380
We know that there's black lives matter, Facebook pages, and these, you know, the, the top four
00:26:37.160
or five lieutenants in that, uh, that were very close to the, uh, to the Biden campaign.
00:26:42.160
Let's just say there was an email to them, you know, in the state of Missouri.
00:26:45.040
Well, Missouri state attorney general can take immediate action on something like that at
00:26:50.100
the state level, just as they did in Georgia against, uh, against, uh, Trump.
00:26:54.640
You know, this is something if, if, if this is the Missouri case right now before the Supreme
00:27:00.920
What I'm saying is, is there are a lot of these purple states that have Republican governors.
00:27:05.300
If just a single one of these emails or texts involved a TIP person making outreach to
00:27:10.800
an outside organization, that's one step in furtherance, you already have agreement.
00:27:15.400
So once you have the step in furtherance, now you got conspiracy, you can bring that
00:27:20.120
You don't even need to wait for, um, Merrick Garland, uh, to unt, untwist his, uh, his
00:27:29.980
This is the reason they use cutout organizations like this, like Georgetown and others.
00:27:33.940
And they have all the way back since this is blue and on, this is the blue and on days
00:27:38.640
of where the Russiagate conspiracy was birthed in 2016, 2017, it was all Georgetown.
00:27:46.720
And they use Georgetown as well as a revolving door.
00:27:51.760
Some will be working for one of these special investigations.
00:27:53.840
Then they go back to some, uh, you know, some position over at Georgetown.
00:27:58.260
They've got some law, law position, whatever it is, they use some color of, uh, you know,
00:28:05.360
And then they go right back into government when they have the opportunity, or they sit
00:28:09.540
there and they write their pieces, working with Weissman, working with Eisen, Mary McCord,
00:28:13.980
so many others to be able to come up with their ideas of which way to go forward.
00:28:18.840
This has been what, what you, Mike Benz and so many others have been pulling apart in
00:28:27.240
And now it's, it's, as far as I know, this may be the first time we've actually seen, you
00:28:31.860
know, someone going after one of them directly.
00:28:34.240
This isn't just like when the weaponization committee was going out for the FBI and CIA
00:28:38.920
This is actually going after one of the cutout organizations by name.
00:28:42.980
Mike, have you, have you seen anything like this in your work?
00:28:46.060
Well, this is, this is the mother of them, you know, in a sense, this is why I'm, I'm a
00:28:52.480
little bit blown away and really excited to dig into what the actual documents, you know,
00:28:57.620
what the actual requests look like, because everything else has been sort of skating around
00:29:02.340
this, you know, even the censorship industry, you know, investigations are, are wrapped up
00:29:11.000
You see, TIP was, was operating for this domestic color revolution plan at the same time that
00:29:17.260
EIP was carrying out the election censorship that TIP said would be necessary in order to
00:29:24.260
See, EIP was the Election Integrity Partnership, TIP was the Transition Integrity Project.
00:29:30.100
EIP and TIP have a scary amount of overlap in terms of what they were doing in the sense
00:29:35.940
that, that TIP said, listen, we need to treat this like a, like Eastern Europe, how we get
00:29:41.540
We're going, and part of the way we need to do this is to control the media.
00:29:45.080
And so they had two sort of, there were two related organizations.
00:29:48.360
One of them was called the National Task Force on Election Crises.
00:29:53.600
Jim Baker was, was the former FBI, FBI general counsel or assistant general counsel who then
00:30:01.840
left at the FBI in the summer of 2020 to become the general counsel for Twitter under Jack Dorsey
00:30:10.700
And they basically had the National Task Force on Election Crises, which was corralling the
00:30:16.620
media like cats in order to get them all on a synchronized Mockingbird talking point blueprint
00:30:23.180
for how to talk about the pending Red Mirage Blue Shift election event five months later.
00:30:37.500
I'll send over all those documents and all that.
00:30:39.160
And we'll, we'll chat offline as well, because this is a sprawling story.
00:30:42.000
We're going to dig into every single inch of it and actually, for once, go after the people
00:30:49.080
that have been messing with us for so many years.
00:31:09.680
We're always talking about the fake news and the bad, but we have guys and these are the
00:31:17.620
All right, Jack Posobiec back live at Human Events Daily, Washington, D.C.
00:31:21.420
Another group that deserves a lot of investigation and is under investigation by the National
00:31:31.680
Midas Touch are, it's left-wing activists, left-wing entertainers, I think they referred
00:31:40.500
Raheem Kassam is digging into the Midas Touch network.
00:31:44.700
Raheem, I first heard about these guys, I want to say going 2020, 2021.
00:31:49.760
One, you know, they were sort of out there by themselves, but then they've sort of just
00:31:54.340
been hiring and agglomerating the, you know, like the worst bottom-of-the-barrel people from
00:32:01.320
Twitter and now X to bring into their network, like Michael Cohen is working with them now,
00:32:08.220
Ron Filipkowski, that guy who actually got hired by Ron DeSantis and then, you know, got
00:32:13.440
lost a job in complete disgrace when he was fired.
00:32:16.280
So, I mean, why is it that these guys gets picked up, their stuff gets picked up, and
00:32:22.280
they're able to actually drive so many media narratives?
00:32:25.400
That's what's confusing to me, like this most recent bloodbath hoax.
00:32:28.880
Yeah, thank you, Jack, and thanks for having me.
00:32:32.720
This is probably, to tie it to your last segment, once we're done with our investigation into
00:32:38.840
Midas Touch, maybe we'll get a strongly worded letter out of a congressman in four years'
00:32:44.440
But barring my snark about how long it's taken for congressional Republicans to do anything
00:32:50.920
about what's going on with Rosa Brooks, Georgetown, and the Transition Integrity Project, you know,
00:32:56.120
I think it's incumbent upon us to delve deeper into the changemakers on the left.
00:33:02.500
We always seem to be the ones under investigation, never the ones doing the investigating, and
00:33:08.140
so we have set our faces like Flint to look into the background, the origin story, and the
00:33:14.780
current setup of what can only be described, I think, as a cross-platform kind of media, you
00:33:22.840
see a conglomerate, which is backed by huge Hollywood money, which appears to be like wildly
00:33:30.480
whitelisted on Elon Musk's ex, whose stuff always goes viral, whose hoaxes never get called out by
00:33:40.380
And I was looking at this a couple of weeks ago, and I was scratching my head, and I just
00:33:43.660
thought, there's no way, there's no way this is all by chance, that they're hitting all of these
00:33:48.920
things all of the time. And then, of course, you see, just a few weeks ago, these Midas
00:33:55.420
touch guys were invited for a special preview screening of the Biden State of the Union by
00:34:00.920
Anita Dunn in the White House, pressing the flesh. And so I think what's going on here, I
00:34:06.300
suspect, I should say, what's going on here is a collaborative effort between the Biden campaign,
00:34:12.700
the DNC, to kind of eat David Brock and Media Matters' lunch, you know, the old school stalwarts
00:34:20.780
of watching Steve Bannon and Jack Posobiec talking and then writing about it, to a more sort of
00:34:27.500
front-footed approach to reshaping the news. And that comes from the constant hoaxes that are peddled
00:34:35.320
by the likes of Midas touch. So these, these Midas touchers, these guys, these brothers, uh, the
00:34:43.420
Masailas brothers, they, they were back in 2020. I remember even the left was pretty upset at them
00:34:51.280
because they were essentially running what to my mind looks, and there's a whole Rolling Stone piece
00:34:56.740
on them, which I also, by the way, I agree with you that when you look at it through the lens of sort of
00:35:01.880
the shifting power structures on the left, uh, David Brock, Media Matters, that's, that is the
00:35:07.140
Clinton operation. That's part of the Clinton machine. Uh, yet these guys, of course, because
00:35:12.500
nobody really wanted to work with Biden. None of the higher level Obama team ever came over to Biden
00:35:18.360
world. They don't want nothing to do with them. That's why he's had to rely on these, uh, second
00:35:22.400
stringers and third stringers like Ron Klein and, uh, Jeff Zents. But, you know, now, of course,
00:35:29.260
he has to, he's stuck dealing with the Midas touchers and that's why they're going to media.
00:35:34.740
It's because Biden, of course, is pushing for them to run with these narratives, possibly even
00:35:40.420
pressuring them, uh, to, uh, to remove people from access to the white house because of course he gave
00:35:46.360
these guys a front row seat and pre-access to the state of the union. Now it's interesting that,
00:35:52.180
you know, I read Dave Weigel's piece over in semaphore, didn't actually say if that was conducted at the
00:35:56.780
house, whether they were brought to the white house, it was a little bit vague as to how,
00:36:01.240
what the actual, actual machinations of that were. But what I do find very interesting is these guys
00:36:06.640
were gone after by the left originally as being kind of like, kind of like multi-level marketers.
00:36:11.900
And they were running a grift scheme where a lot of their money was going to these like low dollar,
00:36:17.100
uh, TV ad buys. And they were pocketing all the difference by making money off of their own
00:36:21.960
followers. Now that was 2020. Do you have any indication that they're doing the same thing?
00:36:27.020
And they were sort of running this, uh, this LLC on the side or have they changed their ways?
00:36:34.660
Well, a lot has changed about them in the last several years. As you say, they were operating this,
00:36:39.420
this LLC that I think was inspired by the movie Step Brothers. Um, they, they had all of their,
00:36:46.120
uh, donations that were being made to them publicly available. Um, you could see who their top,
00:36:51.140
uh, givers were, and that included people like Reed Hoffman. I'll remind the audience,
00:36:54.820
Reed Hoffman behind the fusion GPS lawsuits behind the Eugene Carroll lawsuits, uh, behind funding
00:37:00.480
Nikki Haley, uh, and a whole lot more. Uh, now they're starting to go kind of professional on the,
00:37:07.460
on the progressive left. And by professional on the progressive left, it means dark, right? Dark money,
00:37:13.200
dark operations. You don't get to see their donors. You don't get to see how the money flows around.
00:37:17.420
And so that is one of the things that I think sets alarm bells ringing about this organization
00:37:21.740
more than anything else. It's how quick they were to turn around and go, Oh, people are paying
00:37:26.140
attention to us better hide everything. Um, and so, and so again, as I say, we, we, we have set our
00:37:31.860
faces like Flint to, to look into these people. And I've got to tell you, since we, since we announced
00:37:36.180
our investigation into Midas touch, uh, on Monday on the war room, I've had a number of people who know
00:37:41.980
the Micellus brothers personally, who grew up with them, who grew up around them, um, who have been
00:37:47.300
in business with them, uh, reach out to me because I mean, I'll use their words. Uh, there's a lot of
00:37:53.420
dodgy stuff around those characters. So we shall see, um, what, what we uncover, but for a start,
00:37:59.380
um, we've already started to publish stuff up at the national pulse on this. And I've got another
00:38:03.580
story going up, uh, later today. It links them with Jack Smith. And as you say, uh, you know,
00:38:10.700
when you've got Michael Cohen as one of your leading contributors, when you've got Ron Filipowski,
00:38:15.920
when you've got, uh, anonymized, uh, Twitter, you know, agents who appear to be like hyper boosted
00:38:21.760
on the platform while pushing overt, overt, uh, misinformation, um, then it does warrant looking
00:38:29.300
a little deeper. And I think, I think, uh, you know, more, uh, people looking into this more scrutiny,
00:38:35.480
more eyeballs, uh, will help. I've described them to my staff when we've been discussing how
00:38:40.640
we're going to go about this. I've discussed them. It's kind of like the, the, uh, left wing
00:38:45.940
Breitbart of 2016. Remember Breitbart stories would go viral all the time and the left freaked out
00:38:52.760
about it. Um, and I think we need to apply as much scrutiny as to them as they did to us back
00:38:59.520
in 2016 when I worked there. You know, I, I, it's funny you mentioned that because 2016 was before
00:39:05.840
the censorship, you know, the brakes really got turned on. And so Breitbart, Breitbart would go
00:39:10.600
viral every day, not just on Twitter, but on Facebook as well, where they still have a pretty
00:39:14.800
substantial audience, by the way. Um, but we've noticed, and we've all seen it, anyone in the
00:39:19.640
business or anyone who's just been using the platforms, you've seen the traffic drop off.
00:39:24.020
And most importantly, you've seen the fact that you can't seem to reach that trending,
00:39:28.420
uh, you know, trending, uh, top 10 on the side anymore. Jack Dorsey had said that would curate
00:39:35.100
at one point. But what's so interesting to me is that guys like this guys like Philip Pekowski,
00:39:40.660
the Patriot takes, they're all part of the same network. Uh, this, this anonymous Asin character,
00:39:45.200
who's, I believe his sole job is to take Republicans out of context. In fact, Aaron Rupar,
00:39:50.040
whose name, somebody got added to the urban dictionary, uh, as to Rupar is to purposely take people,
00:39:56.900
uh, out of context, uh, they're able to get their stuff trending. It's almost like they're
00:40:01.940
whitelisted or something at Twitter. Yeah, I think that's right. And I think the other part of it
00:40:07.400
that you have to look at here is, is, is they're making money off this, right? That some of them
00:40:12.120
are not verified, but some of them are, and some of them will be getting checks out of x.com for
00:40:17.360
boosting, um, that level of misinformation. Now, you know, for the audience thinking about how all
00:40:22.680
this works, imagine that were me, right? Imagine that was somebody on the political right who was
00:40:28.580
cutting clips out of context and making a bucket load of cash, let alone changing the opinions of
00:40:35.540
things. I mean, I happen to know that Rasmussen has some extraordinary numbers coming out tomorrow
00:40:40.740
on the bloodbath hoax. And I think everybody needs to pay attention to Rasmussen reports tomorrow morning
00:40:45.160
at 10 AM, uh, to look at the impact that groups like Midas touch are having. This isn't, you know,
00:40:50.640
just like we did in 2016, uh, sorry, 2020 with the, um, with the transition integrity project,
00:40:56.360
August 3rd, I believe it was when we first started to get into this stuff. Um, just like that on our,
00:41:02.780
on our break here, everyone, they just need to realize the scale of this thing, subscribe,
00:41:07.500
understand the scale of this thing. These guys are part of a much, much larger network. Raheem Kassam,
00:41:12.720
as always has the goods. Long hours. I'm always listening to human events with Jack Posobiec.
00:41:22.280
Jack Posobiec back live. Well, folks, 2024, the general election is in full swing. And guess what?
00:41:28.540
That means BLM and Antifa all of a sudden out of nowhere, seemingly nowhere have returned. Julio
00:41:36.520
Rosas was there with, uh, with, uh, with Kyle Rittenhouse last night at the university of Memphis.
00:41:44.180
Julio, tell us what happened because there's been a lot of claims and counterclaims. I've seen your
00:41:50.800
footage. One of the agitators running around down there with a small child. I mean, this,
00:41:56.900
this is horrifying. You were there reporting for front lines, a turning point, uh, project.
00:42:01.140
Tell me what happened. I mean, yeah. So this was an event being put on by the chapter of the
00:42:08.160
turning point chapter at the university of Memphis. And, um, uh, not to, not to say it was mostly
00:42:14.120
peaceful, but things were kind of fine at the beginning. Um, the, you know, the protesters
00:42:18.640
showed up as is the right. And, uh, the problem was that a lot of the agitators were able to secure
00:42:25.160
tickets to get inside of the events. Um, and turning point said that that's the university's
00:42:30.920
doing. Um, and that kind of did disrupt the flow of how the event was supposed to go. Um, but things
00:42:37.380
really kind of escalated after the event ended. And so Rittenhouse was already gone. He was already
00:42:41.640
off campus. Uh, the video that I got, uh, was when the protesters realized that the turning point
00:42:48.160
chapter and staff were leaving the building. And so, um, you know, the law enforcement setup wasn't
00:42:55.400
really that great, obviously, because the, the crowds overwhelmed the campus police and started
00:43:01.100
to surround the state troopers that were on hand. Um, and they were shouting, they were, they were,
00:43:05.420
they were trying to attack them. I mean, they were trying to attack them. If it wasn't for the,
00:43:09.080
the small contingent of officers, it would have gotten pretty bad. And then towards the end, uh,
00:43:13.860
they realized that there's only one exit and entrance to this parking garage. And so
00:43:17.940
they started to run around to that entrance and exit so that they could prevent the turning point
00:43:22.900
staff from leaving. And again, it was only because the officer showed up at the last second
00:43:26.460
that they allowed them to, uh, push the protesters back and allowed the turning point people to
00:43:32.600
finally be able to leave. So when you saw this crowd, um, you know, predominantly it looks like a
00:43:40.840
black lives matter crowd, obviously some Antifa members as well. What's shocking to me though,
00:43:47.120
is that these types of groups have been very quiet for years. And now all of a sudden they boom,
00:43:53.300
we, we ship back into general election mode and they're, they're again. Did you get any sense
00:43:58.140
of the organization? Did you get any sense of leaders or any named groups that were behind
00:44:03.720
organizing this response? Yeah, the, the NAACP chapter was, was there. The, the black student
00:44:11.760
associations, uh, was there, uh, even some professors, uh, of the university of Memphis,
00:44:17.040
they, they showed up and said that, you know, we're, we're, you know, we're faculty, we're against
00:44:20.700
what's, what's being allowed to happen. Um, so I would say it was mostly students and there's also
00:44:25.680
some alumni that, that were also present, um, as well, but I mean, yeah, this is, this is, this is,
00:44:33.280
this is an election season. And, um, obviously 2020 was kind of the worst example of what these groups
00:44:38.380
can do. Um, and, and you're right, uh, they, they, they went away, but they didn't disappear.
00:44:44.480
And what I mean by that is that because they didn't face any major repercussions, uh, because
00:44:49.520
of the actions of what they did, uh, now four years ago, um, they have no reason to not kind
00:44:54.980
of carry out similar acts this year because they, they also know that, you know, law enforcement is
00:45:00.660
not what it used to be, uh, in terms of the local and state level. And of course, the federal,
00:45:04.840
uh, law enforcement aspect is, is their focus on other quote unquote threats. And so, uh,
00:45:11.140
the conditions are being set for another potentially, you know, very violent year. Um,
00:45:16.340
it's just a matter of what that kinetic or that, uh, that what that spark is going to be for them
00:45:21.340
to start going kinetic like in 2020. Well, and, and that's precisely it because they always wait
00:45:27.180
for some, some event or something that they can take out of context. Uh, you of course were present
00:45:33.220
in Kenosha that fateful night with Kyle Rittenhouse all the way back in 2020. Uh, I remember there's
00:45:39.740
your footage, there's BG's footage, um, you know, being able to lay out all the different
00:45:44.220
players and figure out what happened. All of which, by the way, of course, came up during,
00:45:48.340
uh, Kyle's trial did now you got a chance to sit down with Kyle afterwards here. Did you guys
00:45:54.440
reflect on the fact that, um, you know, this is sort of the second time you've been through the
00:45:58.240
ringer there? Yeah, we did. It was interesting. That was the first time I actually met Kyle in
00:46:03.560
person. Um, obviously I'm very familiar with his story. You know, it's kind of hard for me to not,
00:46:08.260
to not, to not be aware of what, what happened, but yeah, it is interesting now because we're going
00:46:13.580
on four years and yet there's still so much of the American population, um, you know, thanks to the
00:46:19.860
misinformation in mainstream media and politicians that still very much believe that he's a murderer.
00:46:24.680
Uh, there was a guy who was, you know, saying that, oh, he, he crossed, he crossed eight lines
00:46:29.580
with a rifle. And I had to say, no, that's not what happened. It only crossed eight lines after
00:46:33.580
the shooting because the weapon was bought in Wisconsin. And so even just on the, like the small
00:46:38.380
details, people still very much, uh, have, don't have a clue with what happened. Um, and of course,
00:46:44.600
if they're missing the small details and they're going to miss on the big important parts of it as
00:46:49.680
well. And there were a lot of people actually that were holding, uh, posters and signs honoring
00:46:55.140
Joseph Rosenbaum, Gates Roskreutz and Anthony Huber, the guys who attacked Rittenhouse that night and
00:47:00.680
who were shot by him in self-defense. Um, and you know, when you bring up a, well, what about their
00:47:05.860
past and like, you know, Hey, you know, this guy, you know, these, these weren't good people, even,
00:47:10.700
even including that night, not even what happened if, you know, the years prior, but even
00:47:14.320
that night of the incident, you know, they weren't acting, uh, you know, exactly like good Samaritans
00:47:19.360
and they would still say, well, Kyle Rittenhouse is a murderer. I mean, that's what they always
00:47:22.620
would fall back to. So, uh, the misinformation is still very prevalent, unfortunately, you know,
00:47:27.900
even though they threw, wait, by the way, I happen to notice, I happen to notice some of those pictures
00:47:32.120
that in your reporting, and they were throwing these flyers around inside the room as well. And,
00:47:35.660
and they had Gage Grosskreutz name on there as well. And they were holding it up. Great Gage
00:47:39.300
Gross. He's still alive. Antifa Gage was not killed that night. Uh, he, he's still alive.
00:47:44.580
He actually changed his name as a matter of, I don't know if that considers debt, that's considered
00:47:48.080
dead naming or not. Uh, but no, he was not killed. Um, he, he got like arrested for something. Um,
00:47:54.700
you know, he was in like a hit and run, uh, you know, not long ago. And, um, and it was just
00:47:59.720
incredible to me that again, and not only is the misinformation out there, but as you say,
00:48:04.580
so many of the people, they actually believe because of the media's, uh, treatment of Kyle
00:48:10.100
Rittenhouse's case, they actually think that he killed black people. Just not true. All three
00:48:14.100
of them were white. Yeah. And it's very, it's very insidious in how they did it because they just
00:48:18.640
say, well, they, he shot three people at a black lives matter protest and, you know, people at the,
00:48:24.580
you know, the casual reader, you know, obviously we're news junkies. So we actually look more into
00:48:29.500
than just past the headlines, but you know, people were going about their day. They just might say,
00:48:33.160
oh, three, you know, black lives matter protests. Okay. So that's, that means he shot black people.
00:48:36.980
Um, and of course it wasn't a protest. It was a riot. I mean, even still when the local media was
00:48:41.260
talking about, they're, they're doing it. Um, they're doing it, uh, got to go right at the end,
00:48:46.040
but they're doing it right now with Trump where they're saying, oh, he referred, he said that some
00:48:48.740
migrants are not people. Yeah. He was talking about MS-13. Julio, where can people go to follow you?
00:48:53.920
