All this and more on today s Human Events Daily!
00:00:07.500I know, Dominic, today's top story, DA Alvin Bragg.
00:00:11.520Fat Alvin is backpedaling, saying that Trump created the false expectation about his arrest.
00:00:17.280Next, Biden administration doubling down on their denial of Nord Stream's destruction.
00:00:21.360And finally, a new poll out of Rasmussen shows that 54% of likely voters don't think that President Biden is telling the truth about his China business dealings.
00:00:30.240All this more ahead, Human Events Daily.
00:00:32.040I want to take a second to remind you to sign up for the Poso Daily Brief.
00:01:22.900The grand jury has been canceled for the rest of the week.
00:01:27.100Alvin Bragg is facing even more questions as the panel's vote on the indictment has been pushed back to at least next week as he, quote, struggles with his weak case.
00:01:39.520Sources tell Daily Mail.com that prosecutors are having trouble convincing the jury to indict Trump over hush money payments to Stormy Daniels.
00:01:49.980And we don't even, by the way, and I said this before, and we don't even, by the way, and I said this before, we haven't even proven, it's never been proven anywhere that these were hush money payments.
00:02:36.780And now Bragg is out there going back to Congress because Jim Jordan's coming in and talking about the weaponization of government and saying, can you explain to us what's actually going on here?
00:03:20.880If you haven't had your meat, how can you eat your pudding if you haven't had any meat, Fat Alvin?
00:03:26.920And now sources do tell Human Events Daily that Bragg is currently working on going around to all the bodegas in the immediate vicinity of the Manhattan courthouse where he's buying all the snack packs that he can find, both vanilla chocolate and the vanilla chocolate swirl.
00:03:48.920We have to. Is that is that confirmed, producer Angelo?
00:03:51.520Yes, it is confirmed. Vanilla chocolate swirls are being purchased by Alvin Bragg.
00:03:56.920And he plans to sit there in the courtroom with the grand jury for as long as possible, eating the snack packs in front of them.
00:04:44.000Because do you not expect us to believe that the Biden DOJ and Merrick Garland isn't actually behind this?
00:04:52.880Imagine what appointments they dangled in front of this guy, telling him they'd appoint him to the DOJ, telling him that they'd help him run for AG after Letitia James.
00:05:02.940Now he's lucky if he's even going to remain as DA.
00:05:06.280He's lucky if they appoint him dog catcher by the end of the year after totally boofing up this entire operation.
00:05:46.640And if you don't want to do this, if you want to back down and talk about false expectations, trying to tread water, trying to tread water like you're Jack and Rose at the end of Titanic.
00:07:51.180I think, as Mr. Sullivan mentioned, there are three now national investigations being done into the Nord Stream 2 explosion by three of our allies.
00:08:03.500We are not going to get ahead of that.
00:08:39.940It's been six weeks since I published a report based on anonymous sourcing naming President Biden as the official who ordered the mysterious destruction last September of Nord Stream 2, a new $11 billion pipeline that was scheduled to double the volume of natural gas delivered from Russia to Germany.
00:08:54.900The story gained traction in Germany and Western Europe, but was subject to a near-media blackout in the United States.
00:09:02.060Two weeks ago, after a visit by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to Washington—and you remember, here at Human Events Daily, we covered this extensively.
00:09:10.940The fact that all of these reports, and specifically this report about the pro-Ukrainian group, came out after that quiet meeting that Olaf Scholz held with Joe Biden at the White House.
00:09:26.940Remember, we were told, well, it's a working visit, and they're having discussions on sensitive matters of national importance.
00:09:34.380Yet there was no press conference, there was no availability, there was like a quick photo op inside the Oval Office, and then Olaf Scholz flies back three days later.
00:09:43.420The pro-Ukrainian group narrative pops out in the New York Times.
00:09:47.580So, just after that visit, U.S. and intelligence agencies attempted to add to the blackout by feeding the New York Times and the German weekly Die Zeit false cover stories to counter the report that Biden and U.S. operatives were responsible.
00:10:04.400Press A to the White House and CIA have consistently denied it.
00:10:07.300But, of course, we know all along, and this goes to Sarah Miller now, I'm jumping ahead, an energy expert and editor at Energy Intelligence, which is a leading trade journal, explained in an interview that the pipeline story was big news in Germany and Western Europe, saying, quote,
00:10:24.860The destruction of the Nord Stream pipelines in September led to a further surge of natural gas prices that were already six or more times pre-crisis levels.
00:10:34.700Nord Stream was blown up in late September.
00:10:41.060German gas imports peaked a month earlier, a month later, in October, at 10 times pre-crisis levels.
00:10:48.460Electricity prices across Europe were pulled up, and governments spent as much as 800 billion euros.
00:10:54.860By some estimates, shielding households and businesses for the impact.
00:10:58.320So government had to get involved in this.
00:11:00.620Gas prices reflecting the mild winter in Europe have now fallen back to roughly a quarter of the October peak, but they are still two to three times pre-crisis levels and more than three times the current U.S. ones.
00:11:13.100This is about Germany and Western Europe.
00:11:15.880How are they heating their homes if they don't have access to the cheap Russian gas?
00:12:09.720You're going there because you know that your dollar will spread further if you are using that gas.
00:12:17.100And that means, of course, that everything else then that goes on in your life, when you're going shopping, when you're paying your bills, tax, obviously, we're going to tax season, that you want more dollars in your pocket.
00:13:42.700The BRICS nations, this entire economic alliance, the global south with BRICS, China and Russia at the helm.
00:13:51.140With, by the way, Russia being the junior partner here.
00:13:54.520So Russia is, unfortunately for them, right, the junior partner because they have no other choice.
00:14:02.160They've been completely isolated with the destruction of this pipeline and then the rest of the economic sanctions, the pullout of the SWIFT system, etc., etc.
00:14:12.000Sure, it's isolated them from the banking crisis.
00:14:14.780But at the end of the day, without access to those agricultural markets where they were selling fertilizer, the potash, where they were selling other products and having the oil.
00:14:24.980And, again, it's as simple as this, folks.
00:15:01.800So, you know, going back to this piece with Cy Hirsch, over the last year, they've had to close their energy-intensive industries, such as fertilizer, gas, glass production.
00:15:13.220It's unclear when, if ever, those plants will open.
00:15:15.920So, European manufacturers are having to shudder now.
00:16:51.740Most do not think that President Biden is telling the truth about this scandal.
00:16:57.740Questions about Chinese payments to President Joe Biden's family are a serious scandal, according to a majority of voters.
00:17:04.120And most doubt that the president is telling the whole truth about it.
00:17:08.460Fifty-four percent do not think it is likely that Biden is telling the whole truth.
00:17:15.740Fifty-four percent doubt that Biden is telling the truth, including 38 percent who say it is not at all likely.
00:17:23.760Congressional investigators say that they have identified more than a million dollars of payments from a Chinese energy firm made to members of the Biden family between 2015 and 2017.
00:17:33.500That's right as he was, number one, sitting as the vice president for two years, 2015, 2016, and then 2017, right after he got out.
00:17:50.900Sixty-five percent of voters believe the Biden family's Chinese connection is a serious scandal, including 47 percent who think the scandal is very serious.
00:18:01.560Twenty-nine percent don't believe the Biden family's dealings with China are a serious scandal.
00:19:13.460I'm looking at the Rasmussen poll right here.
00:19:15.080Sixty-seven percent of independents say that it's a serious scandal.
00:19:19.420And how likely is it that he told the truth?
00:19:23.020And I mean, just insane number, over 72 percent, 72, okay, 72 percent of Republicans and then 65 percent of independents say that President Biden did not tell the truth about his dealings.
00:21:29.620We're not even talking about the fact that we had one of the largest bank failures in American history just a few days ago.
00:21:37.040So that's how fast this is all flying.
00:21:39.880One of the largest bank failures, this massive alliance between Russia and China, analogous only to what I would say as Nixon's trip to China all the way back in the 1970s.
00:21:51.340Why? Because the balance of power is shifting.
00:21:54.540And so rather than have you pay attention to that, rather than have you questioning that or understand, they say, oh, no, no, no, no, no, Donald Trump's going to get arrested.
00:22:12.260Because they are trying to do everything they can to stop you from asking these very simple questions about why is it that our president and his family were receiving millions of dollars, millions of dollars from the Chinese Communist Party.
00:22:30.200And we know that this energy corporation, CEFC in China, was directly controlled by the Chinese intelligence apparatus.
00:22:54.240Because in order to get that built, in order to get the road, the Silk Road built across the heartland of Central Asia all the way to Europe, because they want access to those markets for that trade, you've got to get through all the politicians in the way.
00:23:09.800Then for the Maritime Silk Road, all of those choke points around the world, Tierra del Fuego, the Straits of Malacca, the Panama Canal, the Suez Canal, Babel Mendeb, the Persian Gulf.
00:23:48.080That we're going to be plugged into the metaverse and getting our pharmaceuticals jacked directly into our brains because that's what they want you to be.
