The FBI is now running covert operations in Catholic churches. Next, the New York Times is ripping El Salvador s president as he's decimating gang populations. And finally, Super Mario Brothers' new movie is rejecting wokeness and smashing box office records. All this and more on today's Human Events Daily!
00:02:18.040And if you want it, FBI, you can come and take it from my cold dead hands.
00:02:28.080We now have information because of the weaponization of the federal government committee.
00:02:36.680That's been investigating the FBI's handling of, quote, domestic violent extremism investigations now against Catholic Americans.
00:02:51.140Information produced by the FBI to the committee based on this information.
00:02:57.560We now know, as I'm reading from the letter directly, that the FBI relied on at least one undercover agent to produce its analysis and that the FBI, this is that report that came out that you're hearing the congressman and the FBI complete liar.
00:03:16.580By the way, you listen to these people, you listen to the way these government bureaucrats lie when you put them on the stand and they just start they just start equivocating constantly.
00:03:25.580They'll never actually answer your question.
00:03:28.200It's like it's like it's like trying to get an answer, a straight answer from the DMV.
00:03:43.220This is also it's a very it's it's you know, there's no women in this video, but it's a very feminine system that you have enacted whereby in the the actual decision making takes place sort of by consensus rather than one actual leader making the decision.
00:04:01.780And therefore, you can't actually find anyone who has the entire piece of it because the responsibility, the accountability, it's not found there because you're doing everything by committee.
00:04:21.340But you listen to this and he says, well, I didn't authorize that.
00:04:24.760I'm not exactly sure which operation you're there to testify.
00:04:28.240You're the one in charge and you don't know who was in.
00:04:30.540It's like they had the same problem when over at the in the East Palestine, when they were talking north to Norfolk Southern and they couldn't find who had made the decision to ignite the chemicals.
00:04:42.780Couldn't find a person because it was it was a governor.
00:08:09.840El Salvador's state of emergency to combat gangs has led to tens of thousands of arrests and allegations of human rights abuses.
00:08:18.020But it also appears to be massively popular.
00:08:20.300And in a recent interview, the country's security minister, Gustavo Villatoro, said the measure will stay in place until every criminal is caught.
00:08:28.940The state of emergency is a tool to keep security and to care for Salvadorians' lives.
00:08:38.060When the risk reaches numbers close to zero, this measure will be lifted.
00:08:44.560As long as we have these murderers and these terrorists fleeing and escaping within the country, this measure must continue.
00:08:53.720President Nayib Bukele asked Congress to approve the state of emergency last March.
00:08:58.460Since then, security forces have arrested more than 64,000 suspected gang members or associates.
00:09:04.440We are at the brink of winning the war against gangs, he said in June.
00:10:08.820El Salvador decimated its ruthless gangs, but at what cost?
00:10:13.840In the years since El Salvador declared a state of emergency, the government has delivered a stunning blow to the gangs that were once the ultimate authority in much of the country.
00:10:22.960I'm like, okay, sounds pretty good to me.
00:10:29.820And it talks about how in some of these neighborhoods, if you wore the number eight, you could be shot because the eight was the number of one of the 18th Street gang's rivals.
00:10:44.080You couldn't wear the brand of sneakers that the gangsters wore because if you were wearing their, it doesn't say what gang it is.
00:10:50.400This is in Las Margaritas in El Salvador, that if you wore their brand of sneakers, they would kill you.
00:10:59.260You couldn't come to the police because of what the, what would the boys say?
00:13:09.040Look, they just announced that the next DNC is going to be held in Chicago.
00:13:13.300Now, Chicago, one of the most crime ridden cities in America, one of the worst homicide rates in America, where they do nothing about the criminals whatsoever.
00:13:20.640You're going to hold your entire you're actually going to hold your entire conference there for the DNC.
00:13:30.580You live in fantasy land where none of this is happening, where it's a utopia, where they just elected a reformer, a progressive reformer who's going to make the city even better.
00:13:40.520And he's going to fight that systemic racism because they'll tell you that it's root causes and systemic racism that are that are the causes of crime.
00:13:47.560And they'll do anything they can to say that those are the causes of crime and not what?
00:14:39.820It could be done in San Francisco where the founder of Cash App was just stabbed to death and bled out on the street because these thugs don't care about human life.
00:14:51.340You got people driving past him in the street as he dies.
00:14:54.580Let's talk about billionaire privilege.
00:15:06.040How many families have to go through that?
00:15:08.360How many more funerals are going to be held in New York City where this guy Alvin Bragg, Alvin Bragg is going to be letting all the murderers out.
00:15:18.460He's letting all the criminals, the rapists.
00:19:23.600And there's a recreation of the original Donkey Kong at one point in the film.
00:19:28.520And the fact that there's no wokeness, John Leguizamo, who played the original Luigi, was all butthurt that he wasn't in the film, asked to come back and play the voice.
00:19:39.340So he started saying, well, there's no diversity in the film.
00:21:21.400We're going to disagree on this one as well.
00:21:22.780That in this case, in this instance of Mario, this is the hero's journey template.
00:21:31.500This is episode one of potentially a franchise where you've got your main character who comes as a classic template that you see follow in movies from the original Star Wars to Back to the Future to India, etc., etc.
00:21:44.480You meet the main character when they're they're kind of at their lowest, when they're still just figuring out the ropes.
00:21:51.040They are thrown into a new situation, a new world.
00:21:53.940They have to figure out how the new world works.
00:22:00.200And by the way, you can't say that Mario isn't is just some, you know, some sidekick throughout the film because, OK, yeah, does Princess Toadstool kind of like show him the ropes?
00:22:09.900Sure. But the reason that she's doing that is because Mario is as the protagonist in this film.
00:22:19.460And so when you have a character like that and you're introduced to a new world, what do you do?
00:22:24.000You have another character that introduces that character to the world.
00:22:28.240But what they're actually doing is giving the expository background of the world for the audience, for the purposes of the audience, even though with Mario, I don't think you really need.
00:22:39.540And that much of it, because, again, as we said before, Miyamoto said he didn't want there to be a lot of plot to this.
00:22:45.060It's like, yeah, we live in this land and there's a bunch of mushrooms and these things give you powers.
00:22:49.740Also, there's a bunch of monkeys in the next kingdom and we need their army.
00:23:21.980And this is a film that shows how he becomes a hero.
00:23:25.900That's why I don't see this as woke whatsoever.
00:23:28.800And also, I don't think audiences see it as woke because when they heard that they were putting homosexual relationships in Buzz Lightyear, that totally tanked the movie because parents aren't interested in seeing that LGBT stuff or any sexualized content in films for kids.
00:23:47.700This is something that we watch out for as a parent of two little kids.
00:24:34.300But as far as, as far as the institutions go, it looks like here's one Nintendo out of Japan where it looks like the communists have yet to take power just yet.
00:24:49.120Ladies and gentlemen, as always, you have my permission to lay ashore.
