Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily, powered by
00:00:15.620
Next, Xi Jinping telling the world, 100-year change is coming.
00:00:21.340
And finally, Rolling Stone's editor-in-chief has been exposed as covering up a friend's
00:00:31.040
All this, and we're ahead to Human Events Daily.
00:00:32.580
I want to take a second to remind you to sign up for the Poso Daily Brief.

00:00:58.400
Donald Trump is under multiple criminal inquiries, but there are signs he may face charges in
00:01:13.820
For more, I want to talk to the reporter who perhaps knows Trump the best, senior political
00:01:17.460
correspondent for The New York Times, Maggie Haberman, who has been awarded a Pulitzer Prize
00:01:22.580
Maggie, behind the scenes, what can you tell us about how Trump is handling this situation?
00:01:28.400
Look, Jake, he's very anxious about the prospect of being indicted for a couple of reasons.
00:01:35.480
He is aware that there are reasons to believe this could help him politically.
00:01:39.420
We have heard a lot about this this morning already.
00:01:41.880
But he does not want to face getting arrested, which is what happens when you get indicted.
00:01:49.480
None of that is something that he is excited about.
00:01:51.480
So he and his folks, his political folks, are preparing for a huge blitz politically to
00:01:59.340
You saw that start yesterday, although I don't think that his Truth Social post yesterday morning
00:02:07.080
He did it, and a bunch of his aides were surprised by it.
00:02:09.480
But I do think that that is separate from what you're going to see legally.
00:02:12.980
And while I know that his folks are suggesting this is a weak case, they don't actually know
00:02:18.200
What it is is trivial compared to the other inquiries.
00:02:21.420
That doesn't mean there won't be a conviction, and they have to be mindful of that.
00:02:29.820
D.A. Alvin Bragg was supposed to bring the charges today.
00:02:35.240
I thought that I was going to be sitting here today explaining to you the charges on President
00:02:42.820
The grand jury, in fact, isn't even going to be meeting today.
00:02:53.040
New York grand jury hearing on Trump hush money case delayed.
00:02:58.340
New York grand jury considering whether, and by the way, I'm going to point this out.
00:03:01.880
They keep saying hush money case, hush money case, hush money case.
00:03:09.060
So the media is sitting there telling you, oh, it's hush money, it's hush money, it's hush
00:03:22.080
Trump's lawyer there, Joey Tacos, says that it was a settlement.
00:03:29.100
And apparently in 2018, admitted that she made up the whole story.
00:03:35.040
That it was a shakedown because she knew he was running for office and would pay money
00:03:42.100
I'm not sure how that's not extortion in and of itself.
00:03:47.600
The grand jury will not meet as planned, citing law enforcement sources.
00:03:52.220
A Manhattan prosecutor may charge Mr. Trump over how he, listen to this, declared a payment
00:04:04.480
This is the most chicken scratch case you've ever heard.
00:04:13.320
And by the way, do you think this is going to be the only one?
00:04:14.820
They're going to indict him in D.C. over the classified documents.
00:04:33.100
They're going to do everything they can to try to stop him because this is about the establishment.
00:04:40.760
This is about the one man who gave us four years of economic success, four years of peace in the world, defeated ISIS and radical.
00:04:51.700
You don't even hear about radical Islam anymore.
00:04:54.040
Remember, the caliphate was going to take over the world.
00:04:55.860
And suddenly one guy gets in and cleans it all up in four years.
00:05:03.920
Because he said that he would stop the Ukraine war in 24 hours.
00:05:10.100
The one president in modern history to refuse to start any new wars.
00:05:27.600
This is about removing the populist nationalist movement from the United States, from Europe, from the West.
00:05:46.300
And they want you to sit there and say, oh, that's okay.
00:05:58.660
And then eventually, they will come for everyone.
00:06:04.760
And the people that they don't come for will be the ones who are being good little boys and girls.
00:06:17.240
They're doing whatever the establishment wants them to do so that they can be good little boys and get their pat on the head and say, there you go.
00:06:31.160
The American people can see through this, and they have miscalculated, and they have backfired, and that is why.
00:06:39.500
That is why this grand jury is not meeting today.
00:06:43.200
That's why they're delaying this, because I'll tell you something.
00:07:27.860
If you think that you are going to be able to do this by yourself, maybe you're going
00:07:33.700
to bring along Simon and Theodore while you're at it and tell you something.
00:07:40.040

We may not be able to control the policies of the Biden administration, but we can prepare for
00:09:09.980
For those of you listening on the podcast side, Xi Jinping is saying farewell to Vladimir Putin,
00:09:19.960
saying, we are seeing a change that has not been seen in 100 years, and we're doing it together.
00:09:29.880
The century of humiliation is a key concept to understand when you want to know Chinese history, and you want to
00:09:42.400
The way they say China, the word for China, the word China is an English word, obviously.
00:09:56.620
Well, while Alvin Bragg and Simon and Theodore and the rest of them are trying to take down
00:10:01.380
Trump in a Manhattan courthouse, this is what's going on in the rest of the world.
00:10:06.800
This is what they don't want you paying attention to.
00:10:08.480
The fact that this guy, same guy here, Xi Jinping, millions of dollars to the Biden, at least three
00:10:14.700
million that we know of in one transaction to Biden and his close family members.
00:10:23.880
The century of humiliation is an understanding in modern Chinese history, the way they teach history.
00:10:30.040
They say that the century of humiliation began in 1849, the opium wars, and ran all the way to 1949.
00:10:42.620
Happened in 1949, the founding of the People's Republic of China.
00:10:48.200
That was the final victory of communism in China.
00:10:52.700
As we've talked about at length here on the China Files, the thesis goes as this.
00:11:00.040
FDR and later Truman and the communists in the State Department wanted China to go communist.
00:11:07.100
This was the deal that they made with the Soviet Union in order for the Soviet Union to acquiesce
00:11:14.620
to sign the charter of the United Nations, to allow the establishment of the United Nations.
00:11:20.340
And the idea was always that the United States would be on top of all of this.
00:11:32.820
Because the United States now is not in the driver's seat anymore.
00:11:39.620
While Russia and China are walking you through Iran, Saudi Arabia, the entire Middle East, Turkey, Syria, they're going through Africa.
00:11:51.560
40 African nations were there, by the way, with them.
00:11:54.260
In case you didn't know, they were also going through all this.
00:11:58.280
The Global South is now looking to Russia and China as the world leaders, which ultimately, and read between the lines on this,
00:12:08.180
which ultimately means China is going to be in the driver's seat.
00:12:14.580
He understands that because he's been cut off from the West, he has no choice but to go with China.
00:12:22.100
China, of course, is already in the driver's seat when it comes to the United States.
00:12:26.780
We thought they were going to be our junior partner.
00:12:30.900
They realized along the way that if they took our money and started stealing all of our intellectual property, our IP,
00:12:48.120
By the way, I'm just going to go ahead and say this.
00:12:51.480
I had a certain dinner with a very bad orange man last week.
00:12:55.200
And I mentioned to him this very situation about China.
00:13:01.740
Because, like, everybody knows I'm a China guy.
00:13:04.720
I said, they have to pay for what they did, Mr. President.
00:13:07.880
They have to pay for what they did to you, to us, to our families, to our economy, our businesses, all of this.
00:13:25.160
So while they're sitting there, thinking of their century of humiliation, Xi Jinping is saying,
00:13:34.640
we are embarking into the century of dominance.
00:13:45.000
China wants to dominate the world economically.
00:13:52.060
They're already achieving this throughout Europe.
00:13:56.200
They're starting to achieve it more and more in the Americas.
00:14:00.080
Go to whatever store is down, you know, down the street from you.
00:14:19.420
And I did say that to the bad orange man at our dinner as well.
00:14:23.820
We need to Hollywood, of course, understand what time it is.
00:14:33.920
And Vladimir Putin is playing the hand that was dealt to him.
00:14:38.540
And it was dealt by the United States and the idiotic leaders that we've had for the last 30 years.
00:14:44.620
They're trying to turn NATO into the world's global police, the global police force of, quote, world order.
00:14:52.800
By the way, Alex Jones used to say stuff like that in the 90s.
00:14:57.480
He'd say, oh, you're talking about black helicopters.
00:15:01.140
From the Middle East to Eurasia and on, NATO was used again and again for this very same function.
00:15:09.800
So how did you think they were going to respond?
00:15:11.640
Did you think they were just going to roll over and take it?
00:15:15.220
And then NATO goes in and tries to get rid of Syria, the NATO leaders, the way they did in Libya.
00:15:24.320
And now they're going to continue to push back.
00:15:26.760
And the United States and the petrodollar are going to fall farther and farther because of our feckless, idiotic leaders.
00:15:35.680
So as the parallel economy continues to grow, we've seen a ton of conservative coffee companies come and go.
00:15:40.380
And I held off until I found one that I really liked.
00:15:42.820
And that's why I'm happy to tell you about blackout coffee.
00:15:46.300
You know, it's not enough to simply taste great.
00:15:48.320
You want to be proud to support the company knowing they align with your conservative values.
00:15:53.280
And that's why I'm telling you to give them a try.
00:15:58.920
I don't know if producer Angelo's got to go on this, whatever.
00:16:01.080
I am out of my blackout coffee and I'm feeling it, guys.
00:16:05.840
The ratings are down in the dumps because we need our blackout.
00:16:09.820
We saw a massive ratings boost through the roof, skyrocketed.
00:16:13.960
My promos got so much better when I was drinking my blackout coffee.
00:16:20.580
And that's why I'm telling you, I do recommend blackout coffee.
00:16:24.180
This coffee company, they're 100 percent committed to conservative values.
00:16:27.420
Look, the way they source the beans, the way they roast them, the customer support, the shipping.
00:16:32.980
The work ethic they have is amazing and they accept no compromise on taste or quality.
00:16:39.880
Use promo code POSO for 20% off on your first order.
00:16:43.260
We're going to put the link in the description.
00:16:45.140
Stop giving your money to woke companies that don't care about you.
00:16:53.920
James Gordon Meek was an award winning, was or is, we don't know exactly what's going on,
00:17:03.640
He's currently working, currently working or was, as we know, know on a story, a book actually
00:17:11.060
about Operation Pineapple, which was this sort of erstwhile event that took place during
00:17:20.440
Apparently, while working on this book, his home was raided by the FBI.
00:17:26.420
We have reports, and this is from Rolling Stone, so you've got to take it with a grain
00:17:30.200
of salt, that it was over classified information.
00:17:35.160
The question then becomes, if he was holding classified documents, the FBI raids him to go
00:17:40.760
Very similar, by the way, to the Mar-a-Lago situation.
00:17:46.920
So I told you back in October to take all Rolling Stone reporting with a grain of salt.
00:17:52.720
I said, you've got to take this with a grain of salt, folks.
00:17:56.260
Something doesn't smell right about this Rolling Stone story.
00:18:00.140
Classified documents, Operation Pineapple, what's really going on here?
00:18:04.560
All right, so we reported the story, but I said, take it with a grain of salt.
00:18:11.140
Well, now we know what was happening, because busted.
00:18:14.800
And our good friends over at the Post Millennial have this.
00:18:17.360
The Rolling Stone editor-in-chief covered up reporting that his friend was being arrested
00:18:31.780
A new report has revealed that the man who edited Rolling Stone's initial story on the
00:18:39.080
FBI raid of ABC producer James Gordon Meeks, who was later revealed to have been charged with
00:18:42.900
possessing child pornography, removed all references to the charge from the report,
00:18:48.960
and was an associate of the alleged and accused producer.
00:18:57.240
So former Rolling Stone journalist Tatiana Siegel broke the news that the FBI had raided his home in
00:19:02.080
April, and that Emmy award-winning, that the producer, James Gordon Meek, had disappeared from
00:19:07.820
However, Noah Schockman, Noah Schockman, the current Rolling Stone editor-in-chief, the former
00:19:15.980
editor-in-chief of the Daily Beast, a paragon of journalistic integrity.
00:19:25.140
He removed key information from her sources that Meek had been raided by the FBI as part
00:19:42.140
Schockman considered Meek, quote, a peer with whom he was friendly.
00:19:49.020
A concern that Siegel had brought up to corporate officials.
00:19:52.840
Schockman reportedly told colleagues that the two travel in the same professional circles.
00:20:04.440
What other kind of travel are you guys up to in your professional circles, Noah?
00:20:10.320
You and James Gordon Meek traveling a lot together, Noah?
00:20:14.380
Traveling to, I don't know, maybe some trips to the Caribbean?
00:20:21.180
Any interesting travel that you'd like to tell us about?
00:20:25.420
Possibly some travel that you should probably disclose.
00:20:28.220
Maybe some travel that we'll be finding out soon about in legal proceedings that are going
00:20:37.420
In a 2021 tweet from before Schockman took the helm at Rolling Stone, Meek was seen on Twitter
00:20:47.060
suggesting a band for Schockman to listen to from Niger.
00:20:52.600
One great thing about this upcoming gig is how hard it's pushing me to listen to new music.
00:20:57.940
To simplify things, only songs published in the last 12 months, please.
00:21:03.960
Oh, it's the Jimi Hendrix of the Shahel emerging amidst the insurgency of ISIS and Al-Qaeda jihadis
00:21:11.880
in Northwest Africa who detest to destroy everything Western.
00:21:16.800
At a staff meeting in late September, Siegel reminded Schockman that she was working on
00:21:22.580
the story and the following week, Schockman stepped in to edit the story, a move that
00:21:30.440
Siegel warned reportedly by Schockman against including the words child pornography in the
00:21:36.780
According to what Siegel told others, Schockman and she agreed that the article would reflect
00:21:41.960
that the FBI's interest stemmed from concerns of possible criminal behavior, quote, outside
00:21:47.560
the scope of Meek's work that has had nothing to do with national security or journalism.
00:21:52.760
However, he began telling others that he didn't think that she had nailed down her sourcing.
00:22:00.480
And what's interesting is that he didn't actually give any information, we're told here.
00:22:04.060
And we know that turns out that her sources were incredibly correct.
00:22:11.440
But Noah Schockman, the editor in chief of Rolling Stone, perished the thought that Rolling
00:22:19.220
Stone, a guy who used to run the Daily Beast, would ever lie to cover up for his friend who
00:22:28.820
And why is it, see, there are times where I sit there and I think, oh, so you're going
00:22:35.800
to say something that's going to get you in trouble again.
00:22:47.280
Why is it always child porn that they are trying to protect?
00:22:55.080
The trafficking in child pornography, the possession of child pornography, friends of theirs who
00:23:03.460
If you had a friend, if you had a friend that was involved in child pornography, you would
00:23:12.640
You'd be the very first person to call that out.
00:23:16.220
You would say, you got to do something with this guy.
00:23:21.760
If you found out direct evidence that someone you knew was involved in the exploitation of
00:23:29.340
children, what kind of a person, what kind of a person would cover up the exploitation of
00:23:39.880
What kind of a person would have something to gain from covering up the exploitation of
00:23:51.560
children, a pedophile, an accused pedophile, to be sure, to be sure, right?
00:23:59.160
We're not going in with all that, but you had evidence.
00:24:02.040
Let's not use a picture of the guy in question, shock when requested, in a post-damp needs
00:24:09.480
photo, just something about the FBI, picture of the FBI and their windbreakers.
00:24:17.920
Don't mention the connection to child pornography.
00:24:55.300
Ladies and gentlemen, as always, you have my permission to lay short.
00:25:02.380
Folks, you've got to start taking care of your liver now more than ever.
00:25:06.180
Because the latest data from the American Heart Association indicates that adults with fatty
00:25:10.020
liver were 3.5 times more likely to have heart failure than those without.
00:25:14.080
The American Liver Foundation says that 100 million Americans have fatty liver, which means
00:25:19.500
We throw everything in our livers, cholesterol, alcohol, toxins, Tylenol, statins, cigarettes.
00:25:25.300
