Human Events Daily with Jack Posobiec - EPISODE 384： REP. AOC FUNNELED CASH TO CHINESE FOREIGN AGENT

00:00:00.000 We got a big show for you today, folks, AOC funneled cash to a Chinese foreign agent.

00:00:07.320 Yes, that's right.

00:00:07.980 She's not just an idiot.

00:00:09.260 She's a useful idiot. 1.00

00:00:10.600 We're going to get into all that and more, plus the return of the history break.

00:00:35.600 The Poso Daily Brief, humanevents.com.

00:00:37.820 Let's get into it.

00:00:48.680 But I also think that globally, you know, this question kind of comes up in other forms as well.

00:00:56.460 When people say, well, what about China?

00:00:57.860 What about India?

00:00:58.880 We have the ability to include carbon goals in our trade practices, and we don't.

00:01:10.380 And that was one of the reasons why I actually voted against the trade agreement last year,

00:01:16.360 because there wasn't a single real climate piece that would help us decarbonize and bring and bring international partners and other nations.

00:01:31.820 Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily powered by Turning Point USA.

00:01:35.800 Today is February 2nd.

00:01:37.800 Today is February 2nd, ano domine 2023.

00:01:41.760 Today is Groundhog's Day, by the way.

00:01:44.060 And yes, I would like to report to all of you that Chris Christie this morning did see his shadow,

00:01:50.980 which means that there will be six more weeks of Philly cheesesteaks.

00:01:55.020 But we got to get into the news, folks.

00:01:57.300 We got to get into the news.

00:01:58.360 So what is going on today?

00:02:01.180 From the postmillennial, a story of our favorite congresswoman, your favorite and mine,

00:02:06.620 Alex Stein's favorite congresswoman by far, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

00:02:11.680 It has now been reported has funneled cash to a Chinese foreign agent unless she was doing this for campaign ads.

00:02:22.520 I go to the article.

00:02:24.020 During her bid for reelection in 2022, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez paid for advertising in a newspaper registered as a Chinese foreign agent. 0.99

00:02:31.800 It's been revealed that during her bid for reelection, she was doing this.

00:02:34.460 The Department of Justice deemed Tsingtao newspapers, the U.S. subsidiary of Hong Kong-based Tsingtao News Corporation,

00:02:41.920 to be pro-Beijing and forced it to register as a foreign agent in August of 2021.

00:02:47.960 AOC's campaign shelled out thousands of dollars for advertisements in the Chinese-language newspaper,

00:02:52.920 which publishes in New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.

00:02:55.740 The decision to work with Tsingtao was made long after the DOJ had classified it as a foreign agent.

00:03:02.020 In fact, fellow members of the Democrat House caucus, Kevin Mullen and Grace Mung,

00:03:08.780 also paid thousands and thousands of dollars to display ads in the paper,

00:03:13.080 as did another conservative member of the House Republican caucus, Rep. Nicole Malatakis.

00:03:20.200 This is not the first time that AOC was featured in the newspaper.

00:03:23.560 Prior to its designation as a foreign agent, the paper covered a 2020 foreign language media roundtable

00:03:28.140 in which she had taken part in.

00:03:32.260 Hmm.

00:03:33.220 So you're applauding a newspaper of an authoritarian regime that attacked peaceful protesters in Hong Kong.

00:03:41.480 So what is Tsingtao?

00:03:43.180 Tsingtao, which operates the oldest Chinese-language newspaper in Hong Kong,

00:03:48.040 stated that it's privately owned and not connected to the Chinese Communist Party.

00:03:51.320 However, investigations, and as we've covered on the show numerous times,

00:03:55.620 they've targeted the newspapers in Hong Kong.

00:03:58.680 The Hong Kong News, the South China Morning Post,

00:04:01.080 they've gone and locked up the leader, the publisher of Apple Daily.

00:04:06.180 They've gone after Mark Simon.

00:04:08.020 They've essentially kicked him out of Hong Kong,

00:04:10.420 the guy who was the editor of Apple Daily.

00:04:12.200 They will do anything they can to shut down pro-freedom and pro-democracy.

00:04:15.600 See, anything critical, anything just critical of the Chinese Communist Party

00:04:20.240 or certainly anything critical.

00:04:21.160 By the way, they were locking up booksellers,

00:04:23.940 people who own bookstores that ran books critical of Xi Jinping.

00:04:28.080 They were disappearing people,

00:04:30.320 and they would later be found north of Hong Kong in Shenzhen.

00:04:35.120 They'd be let go after they had been corrected,

00:04:38.460 after they had been made to understand the new normal,

00:04:43.520 that the Chinese Communist Party is now in charge in Hong Kong.

00:04:47.480 This is also why Singtow newspaper was sold in 2021,

00:04:52.060 and the new majority stake was purchased by the daughter

00:04:55.640 of a wealthy mainland China property developer

00:04:58.760 with more than half of the content that they push

00:05:02.040 in the United States bought from a company based in Shenzhen

00:05:05.620 that China called Star Production Limited.

00:05:08.660 You need to understand this,

00:05:10.160 and I think I've described this numerous times,

00:05:13.780 and I don't think it really needs much more explanation here

00:05:16.120 for our audience.

00:05:17.120 If you're a longtime Human Events Daily listener,

00:05:19.320 you understand this.

00:05:21.060 Every major publication, every major corporation,

00:05:23.560 every company, every billionaire, millionaire, etc.,

00:05:26.960 all the way up to Jack Ma himself,

00:05:29.520 the founder of Alibaba,

00:05:30.380 your livelihood,

00:05:34.260 your career,

00:05:35.600 it's all predicated on your fealty to the Chinese Communist Party.

00:05:39.580 If you step out of line,

00:05:41.580 if you do something they don't like,

00:05:43.000 if you say something they don't like,

00:05:44.940 if you try to establish banks

00:05:48.160 or personal finance

00:05:49.960 the way that Jack Ma did,

00:05:51.780 you will be taken out.

00:05:54.520 It will arrest you in front of the whole world.

00:05:56.660 They will disappear you.

00:05:57.920 They don't care.

00:05:58.760 They're a mafia.

00:06:00.580 This is exactly how they operate.

00:06:03.800 And so when you look at AOC here,

00:06:06.400 what's she doing?

00:06:07.580 What is this newspaper?

00:06:09.020 She's paying money from her campaign 1.00

00:06:11.720 to this newspaper,

00:06:13.340 which operates as a propaganda arm

00:06:15.640 for the United Front Work Center.

00:06:18.600 The United Front Work Center

00:06:19.860 specifically is the organ

00:06:21.600 of the Chinese Communist Party

00:06:23.300 that with thousands and thousands

00:06:25.620 of employees,

00:06:27.300 staffers,

00:06:27.920 agents.

00:06:28.900 Xi Jinping

00:06:29.260 specifically targeted

00:06:31.100 the United Front Work Company

00:06:32.740 to increase its footprint

00:06:35.380 not only within China,

00:06:36.960 but also external to China,

00:06:39.480 focusing on the Chinese diaspora outside.

00:06:42.540 What do they focus on?

00:06:45.260 Promoting narratives

00:06:46.840 that are positive to Beijing.

00:06:49.520 Promoting narratives like,

00:06:50.840 for example,

00:06:51.340 that Hong Kong has always been part of China.

00:06:53.400 Hong Kong should be part of China.

00:06:55.100 Hong Kong should be part of Beijing.

00:06:56.800 What's next?

00:06:57.980 Taiwan.

00:06:58.540 By the way,

00:06:59.140 since 2019,

00:07:00.620 thanks to COVID,

00:07:01.680 by the way,

00:07:02.140 another Chinese Communist Party miracle,

00:07:04.800 that we don't even talk about Hong Kong anymore.

00:07:08.760 It's on anyone's lips.

00:07:10.940 Remember,

00:07:11.240 the freedom fighters

00:07:11.900 were calling for peace.

00:07:13.400 We're calling for freedom.

00:07:14.260 We're calling for some kind of autonomy.

00:07:15.740 They didn't want to lose their rights.

00:07:16.760 They don't want to lose their freedoms.

00:07:17.720 But guess what?

00:07:18.280 They were gobbled up by the dragon

00:07:20.860 while everybody sat inside

00:07:22.640 during the lockdowns

00:07:24.180 of COVID-19.

00:07:27.260 And they were gone.

00:07:29.620 And you know what's going to be next?

00:07:30.980 It's going to be Taiwan. 0.99

00:07:32.540 So,

00:07:33.080 to AOC,

00:07:34.320 Chairman Xi Jinping salutes you.

00:07:36.140 10 points

00:07:36.880 for House Cortez.

00:07:39.000 You know,

00:07:39.460 a lot of people complain

00:07:40.220 about the state of our country

00:07:41.160 or the way woke corporations

00:07:42.920 treat us and their employees.

00:07:44.480 But it's not enough to complain.

00:07:45.420 We need to change the way

00:07:46.280 the marketplace works.

00:07:47.080 And that starts with you

00:07:47.920 and where you spend your money.

00:07:49.400 In less than one year,

00:07:50.260 Public Square has grown

00:07:51.040 to be the largest platform

00:07:58.500 a coffee shop that took a stand

00:07:59.820 against COVID mandates,

00:08:00.740 or a bank that would never

00:08:01.920 cancel you for your political views,

00:08:31.860 We begin with the shooting death

00:08:35.340 of a New Jersey councilwoman.

00:08:36.700 Police say Eunice Jumfor

00:08:38.180 was found in her car.

00:08:40.440 CBS News' Christine Sloan

00:08:41.520 is live near the victim's home

00:08:42.740 in Sayreville

00:08:43.520 with more on all of this.

00:08:45.020 Christine.

00:08:47.420 Mary, the murder of the councilwoman

00:08:49.600 has shaken this community.

00:08:51.960 Investigators say she was found

00:08:53.560 dead inside her SUV,

00:08:55.780 shot several times.

00:08:57.520 Neighbors tell me her SUV

00:08:58.980 rolled down a roadway

00:09:00.340 here in this complex,

00:09:01.900 crashing into these two vehicles

00:09:03.600 next to me.

00:09:04.760 And as you said,

00:09:05.480 right now,

00:09:06.140 the search is on

00:09:07.220 for her killer.

00:09:09.020 Absolutely horrific.

00:09:10.820 Total nightmare

00:09:11.440 here this morning

00:09:13.060 in northern New Jersey,

00:09:14.840 just outside of South Amboy,

00:09:16.840 very close to New York City.

00:09:19.400 This is North Jersey,

00:09:20.960 close to the harbor,

00:09:22.140 et cetera, et cetera,

00:09:22.780 where a young woman,

00:09:24.840 a young mother,

00:09:26.460 Eunice Jumfor,

00:09:28.200 30 years old,

00:09:29.120 a conservative,

00:09:32.100 elected as a Republican,

00:09:34.420 shot and killed

00:09:35.400 in her home.

00:09:36.820 12 bullets,

00:09:38.360 we're told,

00:09:39.380 casings and bullet holes

00:09:40.440 found in her

00:09:41.680 white Nissan SUV.

00:09:45.420 It looks though

00:09:46.060 she was shot and killed

00:09:47.660 outside of her home.

00:09:48.540 She was driving home.

00:09:51.020 Initial reports are sketchy,

00:09:52.540 as initial reports always are,

00:09:54.460 that someone was seen

00:09:55.620 potentially with a mask

00:09:56.600 running into an SUV.

00:09:57.860 That SUV was then,

00:09:59.220 was then seen driving

00:10:02.740 at a high rate of speed

00:10:04.260 onto the Garden State Parkway,

00:10:06.940 which is just outside

00:10:07.980 the La Mer apartment complex,

00:10:10.520 the Camelot at La Mer

00:10:12.040 apartment complex.

00:10:13.940 There around 7.22 p.m.

00:10:16.820 was when the first 911 call was made.

00:10:18.520 So this is not late at night.

00:10:19.640 This is just after sunset

00:10:21.540 there in the New Jersey area,

00:10:25.580 in northern New Jersey.

00:10:26.340 And this is horrific.

00:10:29.940 But what's even crazier to me

00:10:32.380 is that you can go on Twitter,

00:10:34.060 you can go on

00:10:35.360 the mainstream media,

00:10:36.880 you can go on everything.

00:10:38.660 And for some reason,

00:10:39.400 you will not see this story

00:10:41.200 covered hardly anywhere.

00:10:43.900 Now, we know this is a murder.

00:10:45.900 We don't yet know

00:10:47.320 whether this was an assassination.

00:10:48.640 And when I make the distinction

00:10:50.820 is an assassination

00:10:52.380 is done for political purposes.

00:10:55.080 This young woman,

00:10:56.400 this young mother

00:10:56.980 was a local borough councilwoman.

00:11:00.620 So she could be involved

00:11:01.420 with development.

00:11:02.140 She could be involved

00:11:02.760 with a number of votes

00:11:03.620 that are going on.

00:11:04.960 It was said that

00:11:06.040 one of the things

00:11:06.820 that we came up with

00:11:07.480 in show prep,

00:11:08.120 our producer saw

00:11:08.720 that her election 0.88

00:11:09.340 was seen as an upset.

00:11:11.100 It was a surprise win

00:11:12.160 back in 2021.

00:11:13.320 It looks like there's been

00:11:14.360 a rash of development

00:11:15.580 in that area

00:11:16.320 in in recent years,

00:11:18.100 though it doesn't seem

00:11:19.060 it doesn't seem

00:11:20.660 that that she

00:11:21.560 by any account

00:11:22.280 seemed malicious

00:11:24.100 or anything like that.

00:11:25.340 Quite far from it,

00:11:26.360 that one of the only

00:11:27.260 pieces of information

00:11:28.800 that really seems

00:11:29.620 to be out there about her

00:11:30.340 is that she was

00:11:30.760 a loving mother,

00:11:31.440 daughter of 12 years old,

00:11:32.840 and that she was

00:11:33.840 very heavily involved

00:11:34.940 in her church,

00:11:36.020 which was a Nigerian

00:11:37.380 Christian church,

00:11:38.220 and that she had traveled

00:11:39.400 back and forth

00:11:40.000 from Nigeria.

00:11:41.860 And so, of course,

00:11:43.040 you know,

00:11:43.340 you can't can't speculate

00:11:45.120 this early into these things

00:11:46.480 other than to say

00:11:48.420 it.

00:11:50.480 It's possible

00:11:51.220 this was targeted

00:11:51.840 and that's something

00:11:53.000 the police are investigating.

00:11:54.420 It's possible

00:11:55.160 this was political.

00:11:55.980 It's possible

00:11:56.400 it was also interpersonal,

00:11:57.320 of course,

00:11:58.500 but there is another possibility

00:11:59.940 and that possibility,

00:12:00.860 quite sadly,

00:12:01.800 is that it wasn't targeted.

00:12:06.180 There's a possibility

00:12:07.080 that this could have

00:12:07.940 just been another incident

00:12:09.980 of random violence

00:12:11.320 where someone,

00:12:13.420 in this case,

00:12:14.260 a notable,

00:12:15.560 prominent community figure

00:12:19.100 was targeted and killed,

00:12:20.400 maybe a carjacking

00:12:21.180 that went wrong.

00:12:23.120 Someone from another area

00:12:24.100 came in,

00:12:25.380 saw a nice SUV,

00:12:26.860 saw someone who looked

00:12:27.580 like she had money

00:12:28.340 and wanted to take it

00:12:30.020 from her.

00:12:31.200 It goes wrong,

00:12:32.300 she gets shot,

00:12:34.360 he hightails it out of there.

00:12:35.480 We don't know.

00:12:36.120 Again,

00:12:36.460 we don't know

00:12:37.260 if that's what happened.

00:12:38.440 But my point is,

00:12:39.600 is that we've come

00:12:40.700 a long way in this country

00:12:42.580 from the days

00:12:44.240 of when

00:12:44.940 the city of New York,

00:12:46.560 which this happened

00:12:47.140 just outside of,

00:12:48.440 used to have

00:12:48.820 2,000 homicides

00:12:50.240 per year.

00:12:51.860 2,000 homicides

00:12:53.180 per year.

00:12:55.160 They got that down

00:12:56.080 tenfold in the 90s

00:12:57.320 under Mayor Giuliani

00:12:58.560 and we talked about that

00:12:59.620 on our

00:13:01.220 Singapore episode,

00:13:02.920 our flogging episode

00:13:04.280 as Compact Magazine

00:13:05.640 is talking about it

00:13:06.600 in their response

00:13:07.640 to myself

00:13:08.160 and Matt Walsh

00:13:09.060 from Daily Wire

00:13:09.680 when we were talking

00:13:10.760 about all of this

00:13:11.480 where we pointed out

00:13:12.200 that you need

00:13:13.300 to take

00:13:13.980 a hard

00:13:16.480 stand

00:13:17.220 when it comes

00:13:17.740 to crime,

00:13:18.620 particularly

00:13:19.200 violent crime.

00:13:21.340 We also said

00:13:22.500 that you need

00:13:23.400 to punish crimes

00:13:24.400 like the turnstile

00:13:26.040 jumpers,

00:13:26.940 like graffiti

00:13:27.560 artists,

00:13:28.500 like people

00:13:29.160 breaking windows.

00:13:30.720 You need to go

00:13:31.520 after all of these

00:13:32.540 things because

00:13:33.100 that is how

00:13:34.080 you send a message

00:13:35.260 that you care

00:13:36.120 about your community.

00:13:37.820 Carjacking.

00:13:38.380 When you go

00:13:40.280 into states

00:13:40.980 where these

00:13:43.700 woke legislatures,

00:13:45.480 these prison

00:13:46.100 reformers,

00:13:47.200 whatever they

00:13:47.640 want to call it,

00:13:49.340 and they're letting

00:13:49.860 it,

00:13:50.020 there's no cash

00:13:50.560 bail.

00:13:52.140 You're taking

00:13:52.900 hardened criminals,

00:13:54.180 violent criminals,

00:13:55.240 and letting them

00:13:56.180 right back out

00:13:56.860 on the street.

00:13:57.280 You're telling them

00:13:57.780 that essentially

00:13:58.340 there is

00:13:59.940 no punishment

00:14:01.780 for your crime.

00:14:04.100 That you can

00:14:04.800 commit these crimes

00:14:05.380 to the community.

00:14:06.240 That you can

00:14:06.820 go on to

00:14:07.700 continue

00:14:08.260 committing

00:14:08.920 these crimes,

00:14:10.460 continue your

00:14:12.480 wave of violence,

00:14:14.140 and good people,

00:14:16.580 people like

00:14:17.340 this mother,

00:14:18.880 people like

00:14:19.280 so many others

00:14:20.020 that we don't

00:14:20.680 hear about

00:14:21.260 every day

00:14:21.940 because all

00:14:23.880 they become

00:14:24.320 are statistics.

00:14:28.520 They glance

00:14:29.580 the newspaper

00:14:30.700 pages for

00:14:31.960 a day,

00:14:33.900 24 hours,

00:14:34.780 and then nobody

00:14:35.220 ever follows

00:14:35.820 up on it

00:14:36.260 again.

00:14:37.160 Why?

00:14:39.280 Because they're

00:14:39.860 replaced by a

00:14:41.000 new one in the

00:14:41.800 morning,

00:14:42.860 and another one

00:14:43.540 after that,

00:14:44.200 and another one

00:14:44.680 after that,

00:14:45.060 and my point is,

00:14:45.740 ladies and gentlemen,

00:14:46.720 that we don't

00:14:47.380 have to live

00:14:48.260 this way.

00:14:49.420 You know,

00:14:49.760 I wrote a piece

00:14:50.740 that I adapted

00:14:52.620 for something I'd

00:14:53.260 written on Twitter

00:14:53.840 a couple years ago

00:14:55.060 that was published

00:14:55.680 in humanevents.com

00:14:56.900 about what happened

00:14:58.060 to my hometown

00:14:58.620 of Norristown,

00:14:59.420 which is about

00:14:59.920 eight to ten

00:15:01.920 miles outside

00:15:02.480 of Philadelphia,

00:15:03.220 depending how

00:15:03.620 he counts,

00:15:04.400 right down the

00:15:05.000 river,

00:15:05.280 right down the

00:15:05.600 Schuylkill from

00:15:06.140 Philadelphia,

00:15:07.240 and we had a

00:15:09.340 great neighborhood.

00:15:10.440 We had a great

00:15:11.100 community,

00:15:11.840 and it was

00:15:12.820 destroyed by crime

00:15:13.760 and allowing

00:15:14.260 criminals to come

00:15:15.140 in,

00:15:15.760 and the town

00:15:17.540 got worse and

00:15:18.280 worse,

00:15:18.780 and finally my

00:15:19.360 parents got us

00:15:19.980 out,

00:15:20.160 and I'm going

00:15:20.560 to bring my

00:15:20.880 brother on,

00:15:21.320 we'll do an

00:15:21.600 episode about it,

00:15:22.760 telling those

00:15:23.400 true stories,

00:15:24.620 but people need

00:15:25.540 to understand,

00:15:26.500 it doesn't have

00:15:27.560 to be this

00:15:28.240 way.

00:16:32.080 In the summer of

00:16:35.640 1942, when he

00:16:37.160 gave the order,

00:16:38.660 not a single step

00:16:39.680 back, he was

00:16:41.040 making sure that

00:16:42.900 there was absolutely

00:16:44.020 no choice for

00:16:45.140 Soviet soldiers.

00:16:46.320 They either fought

00:16:47.180 to the death or

00:16:48.380 they would be killed

00:16:49.040 themselves.

00:16:50.460 Stalin's order

00:16:51.280 keeps many soldiers

00:16:52.280 from deserting.

00:16:53.760 Yet despite Stalin's

00:16:55.000 best efforts, on

00:16:56.620 August 23rd, after a

00:16:58.000 month of fighting,

00:16:58.620 Hitler's army reaches 0.96

00:17:00.340 the city of

00:17:00.960 Stalingrad.

00:17:07.340 The Germans start 1.00

00:17:08.920 the attack with a

00:17:09.720 massive air raid.

00:17:11.180 Over 1,000 tons of

00:17:12.600 incendiary bombs are

00:17:13.680 dropped on Stalingrad.

00:17:15.300 The results are

00:17:16.440 devastating.

00:17:17.600 The city is reduced

00:17:18.600 to rubble and

00:17:19.680 enveloped in flames.

00:17:21.380 The city was

00:17:22.360 literally burning for

00:17:23.420 days afterwards.

00:17:24.220 It's a pall of smoke

00:17:25.240 that rose up into

00:17:26.580 the air.

00:17:27.780 All the city streets

00:17:29.340 were covered with

00:17:30.060 rubble.

00:17:31.060 Death and

00:17:31.780 destruction engulfs

00:17:33.120 Stalingrad.

00:17:34.340 40,000 Russians are

00:17:35.760 killed in the first

00:17:36.640 day of bombing.

00:17:38.020 Over half a million

00:17:39.000 panicked civilians are

00:17:40.100 caught in the burning

00:17:40.720 city.

00:17:41.940 Two million people

00:17:45.160 wiped off the face

00:17:48.140 of the earth.

00:17:50.600 In one battle.

00:17:53.560 A six-month battle

00:17:55.160 between the forces of

00:17:58.420 Nazi Germany, Soviet 0.93

00:18:00.480 Russia, the Axis and 0.91

00:18:03.340 Allies.

00:18:06.320 The most pivotal battle

00:18:07.920 of the Eastern Front of

00:18:09.460 World War II.

00:18:10.980 The bloodiest battle in

00:18:13.280 all of recorded

00:18:14.920 history.

00:18:16.060 Stalingrad.

00:18:19.960 Eighty years ago

00:18:21.020 today, the German

00:18:25.000 Sixth Army, Field

00:18:27.540 Marshal Friedrich

00:18:28.960 Paulus, surrendered.

00:18:31.560 It would mark the 0.90

00:18:32.620 very first time that a

00:18:35.020 German field army

00:18:35.940 anywhere in World

00:18:37.400 War II had

00:18:38.680 surrendered.

00:18:41.480 This conflagration

00:18:42.920 and the

00:18:46.060 It did start indeed

00:18:47.240 with strategic

00:18:49.340 bombing by the

00:18:50.040 Luftwaffe and came

00:18:50.880 in, destroyed the

00:18:52.600 entire city.

00:18:54.740 But the Soviet army

00:18:56.120 did not have the

00:18:58.620 tank advantage that

00:19:00.340 the Nazi army had at

00:19:02.780 the time, the

00:19:04.120 Wehrmacht. 0.88

00:19:05.140 And so what did

00:19:08.280 they do?

00:19:08.820 they utilized

00:19:10.680 the burnt out

00:19:12.280 buildings, the

00:19:13.580 rubble, to their

00:19:15.220 advantage.

00:19:16.220 And they just kept

00:19:17.300 sending wave after

00:19:18.820 wave of soldiers

00:19:20.220 into Stalingrad for

00:19:21.880 six months.

00:19:23.960 Because for the

00:19:25.540 Soviets, they 1.00

00:19:27.540 understood something

00:19:28.200 called geography.

00:19:30.320 Stalingrad sits at a

00:19:32.300 key nexus of the

00:19:33.480 Volgograd Gap.

00:19:34.360 This is, if you

00:19:37.480 just look at a

00:19:38.540 map of Russia,

00:19:40.240 even a map of

00:19:40.900 Russia today, this

00:19:43.020 is the exact

00:19:43.760 point which

00:19:44.960 connects central

00:19:46.140 Russia with the 0.98

00:19:47.260 Caucasus.

00:19:48.200 It's also a

00:19:49.200 strategic point in

00:19:50.400 between the

00:19:51.760 Caspian Sea and

00:19:53.000 the Black Sea.

00:19:54.100 And the two

00:19:54.580 rivers which connect

00:19:55.360 to both, the

00:19:56.300 Don River to the

00:19:58.520 west and the

00:19:59.660 Volga to the

00:20:00.280 east.

00:20:00.540 The Volga, of

00:20:01.040 course, runs also

00:20:01.940 all the way to

00:20:02.540 Moscow, sort of

00:20:03.700 like the

00:20:03.960 Mississippi River

00:20:04.700 of importance to

00:20:06.900 Russia.

00:20:08.140 The Caucasus, of 0.89

00:20:08.960 course, the

00:20:09.740 connection to the

00:20:10.700 vast oil and

00:20:11.980 petroleum resources,

00:20:13.700 rare earth

00:20:14.060 elements, industrial

00:20:16.080 centers of the

00:20:17.740 Don Basin.

00:20:18.840 And of course, even

00:20:19.600 today, when we

00:20:21.120 hear about the

00:20:22.560 Don Basin or the

00:20:24.520 portmanteau of

00:20:25.520 Don Basin, Don

00:20:26.780 Bass.

00:20:28.320 So when you hear

00:20:28.660 Don Bass, that's

00:20:29.460 the English phrase

00:20:32.120 meaning the Don

00:20:32.900 River Basin.

00:20:34.180 So this is that

00:20:34.680 exact same region

00:20:35.980 that they were

00:20:36.980 fighting over 80

00:20:38.820 years ago that is

00:20:40.740 still being fought

00:20:41.780 over today.

00:20:44.320 It is existential

00:20:45.840 for Russia to 0.55

00:20:49.140 control this area.

00:20:50.400 And that's why, and

00:20:50.920 the Germans

00:20:51.200 understood this, this

00:20:51.880 is their weak spot

00:20:52.600 because if they can

00:20:53.880 cut Russia off from 0.99

00:20:55.180 their main rivers, if

00:20:56.000 they can cut them

00:20:56.600 off, they'd already

00:20:57.100 don't have good

00:20:58.280 port access for

00:20:59.200 Murmansk or St.

00:21:00.460 Petersburg or the

00:21:02.460 Black Sea in

00:21:02.980 general out of

00:21:03.500 Sevastopol, that if

00:21:05.180 you can cut them

00:21:05.760 off from their sea

00:21:07.220 access, then they

00:21:08.480 become a land power

00:21:09.280 and they can't

00:21:09.800 project.

00:21:11.560 So what do you do?

00:21:13.100 You hit their weak

00:21:14.140 spot.

00:21:14.500 That's why you saw

00:21:15.000 the Germans do that 0.97

00:21:15.820 both times in both

00:21:17.760 world wars.

00:21:18.980 The German Eastern

00:21:20.000 Front tried to take

00:21:21.280 out this area.

00:21:23.200 And in World War

00:21:24.120 II, 80 years ago

00:21:25.500 today, which, and

00:21:27.680 there's, there's so

00:21:28.760 many great movies

00:21:29.420 about this.

00:21:30.680 Jean-Jacques Arnault

00:21:31.480 made the film, The

00:21:33.820 Enemy at the

00:21:34.840 Gates, Jude Law,

00:21:36.860 Ed Harris, depicts

00:21:38.020 a sniper duel

00:21:38.760 between Soviet 0.75

00:21:40.620 sniper Vasily

00:21:41.280 Zaitsev and a

00:21:43.060 German sniper.

00:21:45.160 This, of course,

00:21:45.720 Jean-Jacques

00:21:46.000 Arnault, this was

00:21:47.100 the first movie that

00:21:47.860 he made after

00:21:48.800 seven years in

00:21:49.640 Tibet, which was

00:21:51.160 probably the only

00:21:52.160 film that you'll

00:21:52.860 ever see Hollywood

00:21:53.640 make that actually

00:21:55.540 depicted the Chinese 1.00

00:21:56.460 Communist Party as

00:21:58.180 the villain, as

00:22:00.020 the antagonist of

00:22:01.080 the film, where

00:22:01.540 Brad Pitt, of

00:22:02.100 course, goes to

00:22:03.480 Tibet and befriends

00:22:05.240 the young Dalai

00:22:06.460 Lama.

00:22:08.760 We haven't done the

00:22:09.600 history breaks in a

00:22:10.400 while.

00:22:10.800 We used to do them

00:22:11.260 daily, but we're

00:22:11.880 doing a big one

00:22:12.560 today.

00:22:13.000 Big history break

00:22:14.120 because this is

00:22:15.440 significant.

00:22:16.640 That when the same

00:22:17.800 region is threatened,

00:22:19.460 when the same region

00:22:20.380 is targeted, we in

00:22:23.380 the West, particularly

00:22:25.980 Americans, don't learn 1.00

00:22:27.820 much about the

00:22:28.700 Eastern Front.

00:22:29.400 We don't pay

00:22:30.560 attention to it.

00:22:31.640 We think that World

00:22:34.280 War II is Pearl 0.87

00:22:37.380 Harbor and then D-Day

00:22:39.360 and the Holocaust,

00:22:41.100 and that's kind of it.

00:22:41.980 Band of Brothers is

00:22:42.960 there.

00:22:43.820 Obviously, then the

00:22:46.080 Pacific Theater, the

00:22:47.040 Island Hopping, Midway,

00:22:50.120 Iwo Jima, the atomic 0.82

00:22:51.600 bombs, Hiroshima,

00:22:52.500 Nagasaki, okay, but

00:22:55.280 you're missing a huge

00:22:56.700 part of the war, one

00:22:59.740 of the biggest parts

00:23:00.680 of the war, if you

00:23:01.460 don't understand the

00:23:02.800 Eastern Front.

00:23:05.060 My wife, Tanya Te, my

00:23:08.360 family back in Poland,

00:23:09.500 they lived through

00:23:10.760 this.

00:23:11.860 They smelled it.

00:23:14.780 Tanya's grandmother is

00:23:15.880 still alive, my

00:23:16.620 children's great

00:23:17.220 grandmother.

00:23:19.440 And we have, the

00:23:20.980 last time we were

00:23:21.440 there, we sat down

00:23:24.080 and chatted about it

00:23:25.000 for a while, and I

00:23:26.440 don't speak Belarusian,

00:23:27.520 but we recorded

00:23:28.140 everything, and Tanya

00:23:30.360 was able to translate

00:23:31.080 some of it, and we

00:23:31.740 have that, even though

00:23:32.640 she's in her 90s now,

00:23:33.680 we have this huge,

00:23:35.080 like, two-hour

00:23:35.780 recording of her just

00:23:37.040 telling the stories.

00:23:38.680 And one of the things

00:23:39.300 she said, she was

00:23:41.280 about 9, 10 when this

00:23:42.480 all happened, every

00:23:45.420 blade of grass was

00:23:47.380 covered in blood for

00:23:49.480 years.

00:23:49.880 the starvation, the

00:23:53.440 atrocity, the

00:23:55.100 aggressiveness of the

00:23:55.960 fighting, when you've

00:23:57.580 got starving people on

00:23:59.060 both sides, fighting

00:24:02.420 for survival, fighting

00:24:03.860 against a war of

00:24:05.180 annihilation, they will 0.98

00:24:06.820 do things that you

00:24:08.220 would not believe that

00:24:09.780 any human was capable

00:24:11.600 of.

00:24:11.980 And so when I look at

00:24:17.220 the news today, I

00:24:18.240 ask, why do we want

00:24:19.880 to reopen this?

00:24:21.400 Why would you ever

00:24:22.520 want to reopen the

00:24:24.480 eastern front of World

00:24:26.040 War II?

00:24:28.340 We need peace.

00:24:30.480 Ladies and gentlemen,

00:24:31.480 as always, you have my

00:24:32.840 permission to lay

00:24:33.700 ashore.

00:24:33.980 Thank you.

00:24:53.240 Thank you.

00:24:53.540 Thank you.

00:24:53.980 Thank you.
