We're putting scalps on the board today, folks, scalps on the board.
00:00:04.940
First, we're going to Saudi Arabia for the Saudi shuffle.
00:00:09.400
Did the Biden administration leak a story about Saudi Arabia and MBS getting immunity
00:00:20.340
And then AP reporter that we called out, James Laporta, summarily fired for lying about the
00:00:33.160
But first, I want to remind you guys that we know there's a lot of craziness going on out
00:00:37.560
There's so much, but we are going to come together and we're going to map out the way forward
00:00:44.540
And the summit all takes place in Phoenix, Arizona with myself, Charlie Kirk, Steve Bannon, Tucker
00:00:54.420
You must attend this training seminar because we are going to put the pieces together.
00:00:59.280
We're going to have a special ticket sale that runs this weekend.
00:01:01.880
Amfest.com starting on Friday, goes all the way through to Cyber Monday.
00:01:09.120
Make sure you secure your attendance to this summit.
00:01:24.420
Over the summer, did the U.S. strike a deal with Saudi Arabia to boost oil production?
00:01:30.500
Look, there was, we talked about it before the trip, that energy security was going to
00:01:37.800
be something the president talked about when we went, that we were having conversations
00:01:42.800
with Saudi Arabia before the trip about better balancing supply and demand.
00:01:50.980
Today's edition of Human Events Daily powered by Turning Point USA.
00:02:03.560
We think the Biden administration put this out, this massive story that they've given immunity
00:02:14.560
But remember, we know what the Biden administration is desperate for.
00:02:18.580
They are desperate for oil production to go up from OPEC because they know gas prices are
00:02:26.380
absolutely looking at like they are going to skyrocket during the holiday season.
00:02:31.000
They know that the economy is going to crash because Q4 is not shaping up the way they want
00:02:38.660
So a story pops in the Wall Street Journal and all of a sudden, based on anonymous sources,
00:02:44.780
anonymous sources that I believe we're going to find out comes from the Biden administration,
00:02:51.000
their White House themselves, that says the Saudis are going to ramp up oil production because
00:02:56.680
of the MBS immunity over this Khashoggi killing, the lawsuits, et cetera, et cetera.
00:03:04.200
The Saudis just came out and completely denied the entire thing.
00:03:11.460
And so for a couple hours there, for a couple hours, price of oil on the futures market absolutely
00:03:21.220
It looks like, and I've been talking to some folks on the street, as they call it, they're
00:03:29.380
They look that it looks like somebody may have had some oil puts in this and probably
00:03:34.680
made a ton of money in that situation because the market moved that much on fake news.
00:03:41.360
To help me explain all of this, to help me break it down and make sense of all of it,
00:03:44.340
bringing on again Libby Emmons from the Post Millennial to kind of ride co-chair Libby.
00:03:51.700
So Libby and you at the Post Millennial were in the middle of breaking this story and we
00:04:03.500
And do you agree with my assessment that it very well may have been somebody within the
00:04:11.300
Again, one of those anonymous sources to The Wall Street Journal.
00:04:15.040
I think there's a good chance that it was a leak directly from the Biden administration.
00:04:18.420
And I wouldn't really put anything past this administration when it comes to using and manipulating
00:04:24.020
media in order to achieve their personal ends and ends to line their own pockets.
00:04:31.780
So, yeah, I think there's a I think there's a pretty good chance that that that's true.
00:04:37.140
I also think if you said that publicly, there's a good chance that you would get fact checkers
00:04:44.360
And that's that's why I always have to say, you know, I think, you know, or potentially
00:04:50.420
You know, of course, we you know, we're getting fact check left and right.
00:04:54.820
But what's interesting, though, at least on Twitter now, because Elon is back and it's
00:04:59.560
just kind of allowed freedom of speech to come back, I should say.
00:05:04.800
We have to pull that clip or was very, very upset with me for for saying that all the
00:05:09.040
people who were conducting censorship operations at Twitter have all been summarily fired and
00:05:13.980
frog marched out of there, which, you know, I have no problem with whatever.
00:05:17.260
And here's here's my response to NPR, which I haven't heard the clip yet.
00:05:30.120
But but really, Libby, when we look at these situations, right, the Biden administration
00:05:39.780
They did better than they thought they were going to do.
00:05:44.360
I think he's probably thinking about the fact that, you know, he's going up for reelection.
00:05:49.780
And they realize that their administration, even if even if they were able to maintain
00:05:55.240
the Senate, they're not in a good place going forward for a twenty twenty three or twenty
00:06:01.620
I mean, you know, going in front of the American people and saying they need to get hired again.
00:06:08.080
And the fact that at the at the end of the day, they still haven't allowed for an increase
00:06:16.640
And that's really what this is all about, isn't it?
00:06:18.220
Yeah, I think that's a really huge issue as well.
00:06:21.640
And I'm glad you mentioned that, because I do think that American energy independence
00:06:25.800
is something that any leader of this country should be striving for with their utmost
00:06:33.100
And that's something that the Biden administration is not doing.
00:06:37.560
They have said outright that they want to eventually completely dismantle the fossil fuel
00:06:43.400
industry. And then they turn around and blame oil producers for not striking out and drilling
00:06:50.260
more. Meanwhile, how are you going to get more investors in your company if you have
00:06:55.000
the federal government claiming that they're going to shut down your entire industry?
00:07:02.240
They play this game. And I see libs falling into this trap all the time where they say
00:07:05.440
and Jen Psaki used to say it all the time when she was in there and they would get this
00:07:08.640
question. They would say, why are gas prices going up?
00:07:10.580
And they say, well, they have the permits. They have the permits.
00:07:12.480
They have the permits. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:07:14.340
No. Just because you have leased land does not mean you have full approval, right?
00:07:19.320
They're playing a show game when they say, of course, do you honestly think that the oil
00:07:25.180
Do you think that they like having to get oil processed and shipped from overseas and
00:07:32.100
You really think that they want that or they want to be able to drill oil here so they don't
00:07:35.560
have to pay anyone in the middle for all of that?
00:07:41.120
And yet they play this game where they say, oh, the leases are out, the permits are out,
00:07:44.840
but they can't get the approvals to do the actual drill.
00:07:49.940
We went up there last year under the Biden administration.
00:07:54.440
I saw I saw these amazing, incredible, wonderful, as Charlie says, oil rigs.
00:08:00.600
You know why? Because of the Biden administration.
00:08:03.140
And Libby, I think what it is, I think that they are just tied theologically and financially
00:08:09.000
to this green movement, to this pagan medieval cult of Gaia.
00:08:15.560
But but Libby, we'll get into more in the next second, because I have to say I have to
00:08:19.920
say it's hard to grasp why anybody would keep voting for record inflation, skyrocketing
00:08:27.320
Likewise, why would anybody continue funding the left by sticking with the big wireless
00:08:32.500
carriers? Patriot Mobile is America's only Christian conservative wireless provider, and
00:08:37.580
they want to make it easy for you to try their service.
00:08:40.260
Libby, I'm going to tell you right now, Libby, you need to give them a 60 day trial to show
00:08:46.540
Libby, when you try Patriot Mobile for two months, you'll get your third month free plus
00:08:52.680
They offer nationwide coverage on the best 4G and 5G networks, the same towers as all
00:08:58.920
So Libby will get the same great service while supporting a company that's fighting to preserve
00:09:05.400
Libby, what you need to do is go to PatriotMobile.com slash POSO or call them their 100 percent
00:09:12.880
Libby, if you're fed up with woke companies that don't care about Libby's values, support
00:09:18.920
Make the switch today and get a free month of activation and free service.
00:09:32.980
And I think that both sides will accuse another side of this, another side of this war.
00:09:41.440
I think that we don't need escalation, escalation between Russia and NATO.
00:09:48.540
Emmanuel, do you think that I want to have war with Russia?
00:09:53.740
No, believe me, I don't want to have, I don't want to have war with Russia.
00:10:01.000
And believe me, I'm extra careful, extra careful.
00:10:12.960
So that was the president of Poland, Andrzej Duda, coming out and saying that, no, it was
00:10:18.920
He thought he was on the call with the president of France.
00:10:23.660
But you heard him saying there, I don't want war with Russia.
00:10:33.560
But what's amazing, and Libby, you guys have the story up, so I want to break it down.
00:10:38.760
I'll give you the chance to break it down from post-millennial side.
00:10:42.080
The AP reporter who broke, quote unquote, oh, he broke a lot.
00:10:48.060
This guy, he was breaking a lot of things, broke the story, wrote the story that Russian
00:10:54.680
missiles had hit Poland that was later retracted and turned out to be completely false because
00:11:01.820
And people got very upset at me because I had an emotional response to Poland getting
00:11:09.520
You had people like Daryl Cooper lying about me, saying that I said the U.S. should get
00:11:16.960
Like, if this was a deliberate attack on Poland, then yeah, you better believe I want
00:11:29.920
So the AP put out a story saying that Russian missiles had landed in a or missile had landed
00:11:36.960
in a Polish town on the border and killed people.
00:11:41.260
It seemed very clear that this could incite World War Three absolutely directly, because
00:11:48.040
of course, we have a deal with NATO, Poland is part of NATO, that if there is an incursion
00:11:54.700
on Polish soil, the U.S. will begin to think about measures to counteract that, to go after
00:12:05.800
And I remember the day that this happened and you and I were talking about this and we were
00:12:09.540
talking about this at the post-millennial and trying to figure out what was going on.
00:12:13.460
And we looked at it and we said, you know, we really ought to slow our roll on this one.
00:12:17.140
The AP came out with this report with an anonymous source who was saying that it was Russian, that
00:12:26.280
They didn't say directly that it was an attack, but they did say that it was a Russian missile.
00:12:30.200
And it later showed that it was not a Russian missile, that it was, in fact, you know, armaments
00:12:36.940
from Ukraine, what they were calling sort of friendly fire along those terms, and that
00:12:44.520
The only problem with getting the story all wrong in a case like this and going with an
00:12:48.220
anonymous source in a case like this is that, yes, it could directly lead to nuclear destruction
00:12:56.640
So who's the guy who has been a little more careful?
00:12:58.680
What was the guy's name and what was the process that led to his firing?
00:13:02.020
Um, yeah, so the process that led to his firing was that it became clear that he just went
00:13:09.960
with this source and didn't get any confirmation.
00:13:18.780
If we've got a wall of scalps, we've got to put James Laporta up on the wall, fired from
00:13:25.120
NPR, a guy, by the way, who used to work for the Daily Beast to actually appear as a scumbag
00:13:31.640
who actually came up from the gutter, but kept all the scum on him from that gut.
00:13:39.780
No, he was scum in the scum and the slime never washed off of him because he just, he
00:13:51.740
And he decided to go and take his sleazy slime bag ways to the Associated Press.
00:13:57.840
Now, the Associated Press is typically seen as one of the most objective and most trusted
00:14:08.540
I wouldn't say that people realize that, you know, CNN and New York Times have definitely
00:14:16.660
But the Associated Press still very much maintains theirs.
00:14:19.840
And so, Libby, what does it mean that a guy for AP, so they were dumpster diving.
00:14:25.480
For some reason, they went down way down into the very bottom of the dumpster past the,
00:14:30.260
you know, the the groomer, the groomer approvers, which we're going to be talking about a little
00:14:35.800
bit next, all the way down in through the depths, right through the Dante circles, all
00:14:41.040
the way down to the Daily Beast, which is basically at the level of journalism of like
00:14:45.060
the SPLC or Media Matters, one of these like David Brock, George Soros kind of, you know,
00:14:54.740
And I got to say, AP, you really can't hire somebody from there.
00:15:01.520
This guy, by the way, a complete disgrace, not only to his name, a disgrace to the Marine
00:15:14.560
And it just goes to show you that when you trust liars from a place like the Daily Beast,
00:15:21.080
You end up with World War Three all over your face because you've got a piece of scum who
00:15:30.420
Yeah, I think this is very concerning that the AP let this pass.
00:15:33.760
People forget that journalism is not an easy job.
00:15:37.800
And if you're going to be trusting anonymous sources, you better get confirmation from
00:15:42.360
multiple sources to make sure that what you're reporting is on point.
00:15:49.360
And I think it's probably right and just that he should not be in the profession of journalism
00:15:54.540
I mean, perhaps he wants to go write about some beauty contests in New Hampshire or things
00:16:00.640
But he certainly shouldn't be reporting on I wouldn't trust him.
00:16:03.980
I wouldn't trust him around those if we're talking about, by the way, there's those those
00:16:08.560
No, I wouldn't trust this guy around little girls, not for a second.
00:16:11.580
Now, little girls, little boys, you definitely want to keep them away from James Laporta and
00:16:18.640
You know, I really don't think that that that's something that should be appropriate or
00:16:26.620
What would you have done if someone under under your tutelage had had committed an act
00:16:35.140
I certainly hope that my first impulse would be to say, hey, where did you get this information?
00:16:42.720
That's something that I've done before working with journalists who bring me original stories.
00:16:46.920
And it's why original reporting takes a lot longer to turn around than like these people
00:16:52.720
You know, you have to like go dig and find it out.
00:16:57.200
But for some of this gravity, would you have run it based on one anonymous source?
00:17:01.520
No, I would not have run it based on one anonymous source.
00:17:04.380
And I certainly wouldn't have run it without as the editor speaking to that source myself
00:17:08.180
and digging into where they're getting their information and trying to get them to go on
00:17:12.220
the record because something like this, there's no reason we're just about out of time.
00:17:18.740
We're talking about something that happened with physical evidence, with photographic evidence.
00:17:22.140
I mean, you easily could have gone and verified this before running with it, but that's
00:17:27.160
And so what we say to the James Laportas out there in the rest of the world, when you look
00:17:32.000
up a definition of scumbag in the dictionary and see a picture of yourself, don't worry,
00:17:36.920
because I'm sure there are many, many other journalists who will soon join you.
00:17:40.880
Hours before what they called an all ages drag brunch, which is probably the number one target
00:17:54.480
Like, for example, the Proud Boys will go and protest any drag brunch, any any drag story
00:18:00.440
hour, anything that a child might go to meet a drag queen, you know, just to show them that
00:18:06.340
they're human beings and people, they talk, they go there and they they read Dr. Seuss
00:18:10.300
They read regular books, but it's read by a drag queen and they, you know, they have
00:18:15.880
It is not some hypersexual event, but that's what it's viewed as on the far right.
00:18:20.880
I've been following this since about March and April.
00:18:23.420
We follow, you know, online hate trends, I guess.
00:18:26.200
And since April and March, really, the LGBT community has been the main focus of this hatred.
00:18:32.120
It starts if there is a pipeline, it starts from some smaller accounts online, like lives
00:18:38.380
It moves to the right wing blogosphere, and then it ends up on Tucker Carlson or it ends
00:18:44.820
And it's a really dangerous cycle that that does have real world consequences.
00:18:49.400
So Brandi Zerodny, Ben Collins, blaming the right wing, blaming lives of tick tock for this
00:18:57.180
horrific, admittedly, obviously regrettable and horrific event that took place in Colorado
00:19:01.220
Springs, the shooting, blaming it on all of them, us, basically.
00:19:05.560
But then you also have Ben Collins coming up there and saying, you know, these these events
00:19:10.980
Is it this it's perfectly fine to bring children around drag queens?
00:19:18.140
Look at how far we've gone as a society where a few years ago we were told that, oh, this
00:19:23.760
stuff isn't involved with children to now having an NBC reporter up there specifically telling
00:19:30.840
us that it's like some type of required and totally normal part of a child's development
00:19:37.960
and maturation process for them to be exposed to drag queens and have them, which is inherently,
00:19:45.260
obviously a sexualized event in a sexualized area, because otherwise, what's the point that
00:19:51.440
they are supposed to go through this and parents should be doing it?
00:19:54.320
And what I talk about here, Libby, and I want to get your take on it as well, but I wrote
00:19:59.960
This is a great example of how these people, Ben and Brandy, they are members of what I
00:20:04.560
call the disinformation archipelago's research units.
00:20:08.720
And so the disinformation archipelago, these are these various outsourced censorship groups
00:20:17.920
They call them researchers and then the researchers utilize a version of what Nancy Pelosi called
00:20:23.540
the wrap up smear and it creates a closed circuit smear loop.
00:20:28.240
So what you have is that one researcher then quotes the target, but twists there.
00:20:33.560
So the researcher names the target, twist their words, twist what they're saying, ascribes
00:20:39.920
Then one, then you get, and this is the best part.
00:20:43.100
They get a journalist then to quote the researcher reporting the research on the target, whether
00:20:50.460
it's a tick tock or Matt Walsh or you or me or talk, whoever it is, Charlie, Steve.
00:20:56.240
Obviously, this is done to Donald Trump again and again throughout his presidency.
00:21:02.820
This is also, by the way, Tim Pool talks about cytogenesis.
00:21:06.680
People have mentioned that for for Wikipedia, that you have a very bored.
00:21:11.540
And so let's say you're looking for a source on something.
00:21:14.000
You go through a Wikipedia article and you have a very bored and lazy writer.
00:21:17.680
They check out Wikipedia and they glance at whatever the summary is.
00:21:20.880
But then some Wikipedia editors come over and say, well, you know what that, you know,
00:21:25.060
that this article is actually kind of kind of light.
00:21:27.560
We have to find a better source for it, more from a more credible source.
00:21:30.920
And then they go and look at the article that was written based on the original bad Wikipedia
00:21:35.780
Then they put that in and cite it after the fact of the actual article itself.
00:21:50.320
And does this have you seen any other examples of this where these research units of the
00:21:56.940
disinformation archipelago are then reported as truth and then the report becomes the mainstream
00:22:08.560
I think it's happening with this whole conservatives are responsible for violence against LGBTQ.
00:22:15.400
LGBTQ institutions or what have you, all because conservatives are asking, why do children need to meet drag queens as part of their development?
00:22:24.700
Why do children need to be read stories by drag queens as part of their development?
00:22:29.540
Why do they need to go to clubs and see drag queens perform and slip them cash as part of their education?
00:22:38.880
And it needs to happen because as James Lindsay and I were talking about about a year or so ago when he brought this to my attention and I started looking at some scholarly work about the queering of early childhood education,
00:22:50.880
which is part of the basis of this whole thing.
00:22:54.800
The idea is to break down children's barriers at very young ages and to make them have total and complete acceptance of alternative sexual lifestyles and to sexualize them from a young age so that they don't know what their own boundaries are and they don't ask any questions.
00:23:13.360
And you'll notice that Zadrozny and Collins, they don't address the questions.
00:23:19.180
They don't answer for why children need to be sexualized by their teachers or why children need to be told that they could be born in the wrong bodies or that there could be something wrong with them if they like the opposite sex toys, whatever that means.
00:23:33.660
They don't ask what's going on with these ideas.
00:23:36.220
And they instead what they do is they target the individuals who are asking the questions.
00:23:40.940
And their goal is to say asking the questions itself is hateful.
00:23:45.860
You are hateful for doing it and you are hateful for asking it.
00:23:51.560
Asking is hateful and you're hateful for doing it.
00:23:55.480
Their goal is to make it so that you can't even ask the question, so that you can't even talk about it and that you can't even say, hey, maybe my child doesn't need to be sexualized by drag queens and teachers who always want to ask five-year-olds what their pronouns are, as if five-year-olds have any idea at all what that means.
00:24:19.200
You let the mama bear out a little bit there, Libby.
00:24:34.820
I always tell people that when, you know, it's when I'm going off, you don't want to be worried because if I'm talking, everything's fine.
00:24:41.560
When I get quiet, that's when you want to get worried because when I'm quiet, that means I'm planning in a different direction, okay?
00:24:50.800
No, but at the end of the day, it's very simple, right?
00:24:54.440
We don't want violence, but we also don't want our children being groomed, and we don't want the normalization of the sexualization of children going on in our society.
00:25:09.300
It should be banned at the federal and state level.
00:25:13.080
Move the way up to the federal government if you have to.
00:25:15.200
Marjorie Taylor Greene, congresswoman who was just reelected, also just reinstated on Twitter.
00:25:19.600
She's put forward legislation to make this and make these surgeries and these treatments a direct felony.
00:25:26.280
I would absolutely make it illegal under whatever laws the state needs for these events for children being involved with drag queens or the rest of it completely illegal.
00:25:42.080
Make sure everybody goes and follows humanevents.com and The Post Millennial.
00:25:46.300
Ladies and gentlemen, as always, you have my permission to lay ashore.
00:25:54.560
To all praise you, shall we move your channels.
00:25:56.300
What we'll see you now, is always over and over again.
