00:01:29.600This post, and I don't know where Reddit is, to be honest.
00:01:39.080I've never heard of it or used it, so I don't know the extent of, it's almost like this could be like a snowball type of thing.
00:01:47.920It can start with something that's this small, and then it can snowball out of control into something totally different.
00:01:55.520Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily.
00:01:58.940It is October 26, 2022, Anno Domini, and I am joined by the editor-in-chief of the Post Millennial, Libby Emmons, to discuss today's news.
00:02:09.780Libby, so what we're hearing here is Daryl Brooks, he's just been found guilty on six counts of first-degree murder, one of which, of course, was for an eight-year-old boy, Jackson Sparks.
00:02:22.340But according to reporting from yourself over at Post Millennial and your team there, he's asking for a mistrial over a Reddit post.
00:02:32.440Yeah, so this case has been a mockery of justice since the beginning, since Mr. Brooks was allowed to represent himself here.
00:02:42.860And this Reddit post was from someone who claimed to be a juror in the case, who was reporting that the judge was biased and was not fit to be adjudicating the case.
00:02:57.260So Brooks brought this into the courtroom, and there was an investigation.
00:03:01.200The judge said that they did not believe that the post was legitimate or from anyone on the jury pool.
00:03:07.640But it was another piece of hijinks in this case that if you know what happened, if you know what Mr. Brooks is accused of, it's really been a tragedy to see not only the crimes committed,
00:03:21.280but how poorly this case has been handled just across the board in terms of respect for the victims and their families.
00:03:29.600Well, and what got me, though, was and, you know, a little behind the scenes last night.
00:04:08.120First, he declared it was a malfunction.
00:04:11.120Now he's saying that, you know, there's some Reddit posts.
00:04:13.860Well, here's what the moderator on Reddit wrote.
00:04:16.240And this is their account name is Black Justice Forever.
00:04:19.240They're the moderators, which means they're one of the creators and admins of this group.
00:04:22.320They claimed that the user has submitted proof that he is a juror on this case for reasons of anonymity and the integrity of the trial.
00:04:30.720We're not going to disclose, but we are very confident to the authenticity of this user's claims.
00:04:35.560Now, I checked earlier today that Reddit page has been completely banned, completely taken down.
00:04:41.840But what does it say to us now, Libby, that things like this, things that take place on Reddit in the virtual space are now infiltrating our courtrooms?
00:04:52.880Well, I think it's very interesting because we hear a lot about how Twitter is not real life and how what happens online is not real life.
00:05:00.420And I don't think that that's something we can legitimately say anymore.
00:05:03.860Human beings, especially in the first world, perhaps in the rest as well.
00:05:55.560But the other piece that I wanted to get into on this case, and I know you were watching it, Post Plenty was covering it, and I was looking for this as well, was if you remember in the aftermath of this horrific.
00:06:07.140And I say it was an attack, I still say that it was an attack, and Wikipedia said it tried to say it was a car accident.
00:06:12.580CNN has, of course, of the headline SUV crashes into crowd, not, you know, man, you know, driver crashes in.
00:06:18.840There was this narrative by the mainstream media, and every media outlet picked it up early on saying that he was being chased by police, and he accidentally drove into this parade.
00:06:31.780As you pointed out, it's a mockery of justice.
00:06:33.760I don't remember hearing that narrative ever being brought up in court.
00:06:38.300You'd think that he at least would have mentioned it as a potential defense.
00:06:42.560The media never had any evidence that this existed whatsoever, but it was used at the time to dampen everyone's attention and to stop people focusing on what Waukesha was, a hardened criminal who had a history of anti-white statements, anti-Semitic statements as well on Facebook,
00:07:02.200crashing into a Christmas parade in the Midwest, in a city, by the way, that he didn't even live in.
00:07:08.800Yeah, I remember that narrative as well.
00:07:10.900And it definitely was another one of these hoaxes that was pushed out by biased media that really wants to paint a picture that our country is racist and horribly evil against anyone who's not white.
00:07:25.500And it did not play out, and it did not turn out to be true in court.
00:07:29.560We saw, you know, all of the stuff about the guy who gave him a sandwich, caught it on his ring camera and all of this.
00:07:47.280To be an extension of the 2020 summer of riots, when everyone was so pro-BLM and pro all of this rioting and trying to destroy the entirety of the United States, destroy all of our cities in an effort to, you know, I don't know, create something that we don't have.
00:08:27.200And Kyle Rittenhouse, obviously, just down the road in Kenosha, where it was burned, by the way, again, over a media lie, because Jacob Blake was armed when he charged police.
00:08:36.620Jacob Blake never was, by the way, still alive, even though the media says he passed away.
00:08:40.380Coming up on our first break, stick it with it here, because we've got a few more stories that I want to get break down with Libby Emmons.
00:08:46.960Tweet to us your comments, your questions about this case at Human Events Pod.
00:08:52.980But the one question I did want to answer, the death penalty, not on the books in Wisconsin for almost 200 years, going back to the 1800s.
00:09:01.280So not a chance that's going to happen.
00:10:07.220And then I think Twitter needs to be much more even handed.
00:10:09.940It currently has a strong left bias because it's based in San Francisco.
00:10:15.520I don't think the people that they're necessarily intend, or at least have some of them don't intend to have a left bias.
00:10:22.420From their perspective, it seems moderate, but they're just coming at it from an environment that is very far left.
00:10:32.280But then this fails to build trust in the rest of the United States and also perhaps in other parts of the world because Twitter needs to be even handed.
00:10:45.220I don't think this is a situation where you're going to get necessarily a lot of praise.
00:10:49.020You're just going to you're just going to balance the anger, balance the anger.
00:10:54.560So it looks like referring to creditors, making announcements.
00:10:58.600Elon Musk said to take over Twitter this Friday, potentially as early as this Friday.
00:11:04.100We're also hearing reports that he may personally serve as CEO or at least a limited position or for a limited time in order to really right the ship in terms of Twitter.
00:11:15.020But we're also seeing an Axio says the headline that more broadly corporate America is lawyering up.
00:11:21.000They're switching their lobbyists out.
00:11:22.600They're going to those firms that have ties with conservatives because they know that the House is about to switch.
00:11:29.960And I asked Darren Beattie this recently as well in an interview.
00:11:34.340There's this idea that Elon Musk might be able to change Twitter and save free speech as we know it on the Internet.
00:11:42.820Should we be putting all of our eggs in the Elon Musk basket or should you know, can we trust him to do this or is he really going to get a step up there and make these grandiose statements but not actually deliver?
00:11:55.960What do you think is your take on on how this Friday is going to go down?
00:12:02.420And I do think that there have been a lot of conservatives who have been excited about Elon Musk's takeover, anticipating that perhaps he would remove some of the high profile bans on a lot of conservative accounts that have happened.
00:12:18.540And I think that that could be really interesting.
00:12:21.400It could open the platform up again to be more of a bastion of free discourse.
00:12:57.000Yeah, no, I'm with you on that, especially when when it comes to Elon, because, you know, I put it this way.
00:13:02.800I've never considered myself like an Elon fanboy.
00:13:05.420If he's able to do this, if he does pull it off, then, of course, I would congratulate him for that.
00:13:10.160But at the same time, I look at these things, these other businesses that he's involved in, Tesla, which gets massive government tax credits.
00:13:16.560That's also very beholden to the ESG system that's still out there.
00:13:22.800Obviously, these are businesses that need to be run with the ascent of the federal government in many cases.
00:13:29.940And so they have the ability to put a lot of pressure on him, a lot of squeeze on him.
00:13:34.460And you saw that last week when there was this this narrative.
00:13:37.080And, of course, the White House said it's totally not true, that they were potentially considering a national security review of his businesses based on his acquisition of Twitter.
00:13:45.460So it's almost like they floated that balloon just as sort of a shot across the bow, you know, metaphorically as a, hey, man, just just pay attention.
00:13:53.360We are the ones who sign your checks and don't forget it.
00:13:56.900Yeah, I think that's exactly what that was.
00:13:59.080And I think that I have a lot of respect for what Elon Musk has done in terms of being entrepreneurial and creating new areas of enterprise.
00:14:09.160I'm a big believer in space exploration.
00:14:11.920And so I love what he's done with that.
00:14:14.120It will be interesting to see what happens with Twitter.
00:14:17.240And I think the other thing, too, that we forget is that Twitter has become such a huge mainstay of public discourse that it would be a shame were it to be beholden to any special interests at all, were it to be partisan in one direction or the other.
00:14:33.560We saw that as it became more and more leftist.
00:14:36.420And we saw that this did not create an open forum.
00:14:40.420And an open forum is what Americans need.
00:14:42.620We're talking to each other across the country on social media platforms.
00:14:46.920And it's fascinating to see how ideas move and move from Twitter out into the rest of the online media space, which is, of course, what we're talking about.
00:14:57.520Yeah. And I think that the more free speech on the platform, the better.
00:15:03.040And it will be interesting to see what happens to all of the leftists who don't like it.
00:15:08.960They're going to move to their piece as well.
00:15:10.820Well, you know, I want to bring it up before we before we go to break here.
00:15:14.080But this idea that these Fortune 500 companies, they're lawyering up because not only do they want to have influence with the new Congress, but we're also hearing there's companies and Axios has the headline.
00:15:25.420They don't go deep into it, but they're saying that lobbyists with Holland and Knight, some of these huge K Street firms, Hogan Lavelles and Aaron Cutler, the head of the head of congressional investigations on K Street.
00:15:39.020Right. They're looking at potential investigations that a new house might come up with.
00:15:43.440I got to tell you, I really think that one of those has everything to do with EcoHealth Alliance, the NIH, pharmaceutical companies.
00:15:51.800Right. Things that are going to be investigated.
00:15:53.960When Senator Rand Paul was on this program, he specifically said he's going to appoint a special investigator to look at Dr. Fauci and to look at his relationship, not only with Wuhan, China, the lab there, but also with big pharma, whether or not he was financially benefited.
00:16:09.020Because of that relationship, they they think this thing's in the bag.
00:16:13.240They think this is happening and that next year we're actually going to see serious investigations, which is a little bit different when you when you're talking about conservatives, isn't it?
00:16:22.840We've heard Marjorie Taylor Greene say that she had some things she wanted to have investigated and Jim Jordan as well.
00:16:28.120And when I've asked representatives about this as to why they would seek investigations as opposed to just working on policy, they've said that the president is in the White House.
00:16:39.520He's unlikely to approve legislation that is led from a Republican Congress or a conservative Congress and that they see their role as digging in, as getting those investigations done and exposing the corruption that they feel has been going on.
00:16:58.240Well, the last time these guys had the House, they impeached they impeach Trump over, by the way, a perfect phone call with none other than Vladimir Zelensky.
00:17:06.640But this idea that, you know, oh, we you know, we should just work together and combat.
00:17:10.960You guys just impeached our president the last time you had power.
00:17:15.400And all we're talking about is go digging on pharma, digging on big tech, digging in some of these other things.
00:17:20.540And by the way, Media Matters got very mad at me last week when I said they should keep the January 6th committee open or appoint a new one and then bring in as his new chief investigator, none other than Darren J. Beattie.
00:17:31.480Well, it's pretty interesting, too, because the two members of the January 6th committee, Cheney and Kinzinger, are both on their way out.
00:17:41.160So so sad. Yeah. And you had the DOJ, I think, ask for another thirty four million to continue working on that committee or something like that.
00:17:50.920So what's going to happen? Is it just going to be a straight up partisan committee?
00:17:54.740What kind of committee is that committee, believe it or not?
00:17:57.580And we're closing out the segment here, but that committee is a select committee, which means it's only set up for one Congress.
00:18:02.680So if the GOP or the new Congress wants to continue it, they would have to start a new committee.
00:18:07.460Stick with us right here. Send us your comments. Human events pod coming up next with Libby Emmons post millennial.
00:18:15.380And Ukraine, with potentially hundreds of thousands of people dying, we must demand the immediate negotiation of a peaceful end to the war in Ukraine, or we will end up in World War Three.
00:18:28.960And there will be nothing left of our plan at all because stupid people didn't have a clue.
00:18:35.640They didn't have a clue. They don't know. They really don't understand.
00:18:40.160I rebuilt our military. I rebuilt our nuclear power.
00:18:45.280They don't understand what they're dealing with, the power of nuclear.
00:18:51.460I withdrew from the disastrous Iran nuclear deal.
00:18:56.840So when you're hearing President Trump there talk about World War Three and the fact that we're looking at World War Three going into it, you think, could we have a discussion about this?
00:19:05.940Could we talk about this a little bit?
00:19:07.440And at the same time, you just saw the House progressives.
00:19:12.320So, you know, supposedly the anti-war wing of the Democrat Party come out and say, well, you know, we are not we are not for this.
00:19:20.800We're going to put forward a letter. They float this diplomatic path.
00:19:39.600Well, I think what happened here is that these progressive representatives are essentially anti-war.
00:19:46.180They expressed that interest of not pursuing a war in this letter, and they didn't release it under pressure from the rest of their party.
00:19:54.600And it got released. And now they feel a little ashamed about it because it turns out that they're just as interested in towing the party line as, you know, anybody else in Congress who feels beholden to the leadership of their party.
00:20:09.640I think it's actually rather sad. When I first saw about this letter, I was sort of excited.
00:20:14.900You know, I'm generally anti-war. That's been a position I've held my entire life.
00:20:21.080You know, I don't think it's that radical to be opposed to major multinational violence necessarily.
00:20:27.600And I thought that this was interesting. I think it's a shame that they walked it back and that they are no longer interested in.
00:20:35.680It's like stand your ground. Right. You know, actually come out there and have the disagreement, have the debate.
00:20:41.800You know, it's one of the reasons why we were just chatting during the the break here that Recchiata Law had something like twenty six thousand concurrence watching this Darrell Brooks trial.
00:20:52.800And why? Right. Because court cases have become one of the last places in the United States that are not censored, at least in terms of the local ones that they show on TV.
00:21:04.480And you can actually get both sides of an argument to discuss things.
00:21:08.300And then, of course, the verdict is what hangs in the balance. You don't see this.
00:21:12.680You don't see it intraparty. You don't see it externally anymore.
00:21:16.480You've got people that won't even sit down and have these discussions on TV shows.
00:21:19.920They try to get canceled. This is the problem when you allow censorship into a system, because when once you allow censorship, you shut down the ability for any of these voices to be heard.
00:21:30.540So, you know, if you or I come out and say, well, we should we should, you know, possibly negotiate, we should or Elon Musk goes out and tries to negotiate, puts up a tweet about saying, well, maybe, you know, maybe Russia can have Crimea.
00:21:41.600But everybody else goes back to to the origin. Oh, well, he's a Putin puppet and he's he's disastrous.
00:21:47.600And how dare he tweet something like that? And he's pure evil when obviously I think to everybody he's just trying to find a peaceful way to go over this dispute the same way with these progressives.
00:21:57.060And yet at the same time, you are not allowed to have conversations anymore.
00:22:01.060Right. And it's so upsetting that, as you said, we're not allowed to have conversations about something as huge as a war that that the entire American public is supposed to get on board with sending a whole massive ton of cash and armaments to Ukraine is just insane.
00:22:20.600I don't know where everyone decided that we're all going to put Ukraine flags up and just get behind this thing as though it's perfectly natural and normal when we see all of the crazy things that are going on in our own country.
00:22:34.060And we're supposed to ignore those in favor of sending weapons to Ukraine.
00:22:39.140And we also have Joe Biden, who is a very anti gun president, yet he is very pro manufacturing arms when we're going to send them to other countries.
00:22:51.880That's a good point. You know, when when when I looked at this and I remember when my brother and I went to Ukraine and then we did that sort of review interview afterwards about what it was like.
00:23:03.000And Kevin had that great point here where he said, you know, we've got Ukraine flags all over the United States.
00:23:08.420But when I was in Ukraine, I didn't see one American flag. You know, who's who's fighting for us?
00:23:12.620Who's fighting for for our people? And and we are not. And the people that we're helping, they're not focused on that either.
00:23:19.860So what about the people? You know, I was just in Louisiana. We went out to Lafayette, Louisiana.
00:23:25.840You know, I was up in Erie, Pennsylvania recently. I've gone all across the country.
00:23:30.060And the question is, who is actually helping the people that live in the great middle of the United States?
00:23:36.040Who's helping American children when it comes to these forced vaccines that we find out don't even do the thing that they're supposed to do, that they were marketed to do?
00:23:45.860Ben Shapiro's come out and said this. We've had so many people saying, look, finally, finally, we can just admit what the data all showed.
00:23:54.180Governor DeSantis was big on it early on a year ago and was attacked mercilessly for this, for saying these vaccines do not stop the spread.
00:24:01.320They never did. And yet at the same time, we're told that we're getting forced to do this again.
00:24:06.720And at some point and, you know, I'll have to close with this because we're running out of time.
00:24:10.640At some point, the current thing becomes just a little bit too much.
00:24:14.160Libby Evans, what do you want to do you have anything to promote?
00:24:17.100Where can people find you? Where can people get access to your work?
00:24:19.420I just want to say also test scores are down across the country. Our kids are suffering.

00:25:11.440Really got to put out there that I think the theme of today's episode was this idea that we should have dialogue,
00:25:16.600that we should have the ability to have conversations between one another again, whether it's the left, whether it's the right,
00:25:23.920whether it's people that, you know, no two people will ever agree 100 percent on anything unless one of them is lying.
00:25:31.260This Sunday, we've got Dr. Taylor Marshall, very excited for a Halloween special all about the Christian origins of Halloween, the occult, paganism, exorcism.

00:25:51.520because Alex Jones, the truth about Alex Jones, everything that he went through with this case,
00:25:56.580the Sandy Hook trial, how he's turned towards the Bible, how he's found God so much out.
00:26:01.760And then I think we have one more episode. Yeah, one more episode left of Border Battle.
