00:00:49.880
Don't be coming to me saying, can you get me in after this thing sells out?
00:00:55.380
And I will see you down in Florida this July 15th and 16th for the greatest assemblage of patriots this country has seen since Valley Forge.
00:01:18.060
For every lie they tell, we're going to get in their face and yell two truths.
00:01:23.140
This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.
00:01:27.380
If you go to Singapore, rich, everything else, they had a huge drug problem, zero drug problem.
00:01:34.560
If you want to get rid of it, it's not easy to say the death penalty.
00:01:37.660
Former CNN producer gets 19 years behind bars for sex crimes in Vermont.
00:01:42.660
A federal judge has now struck down the state's ban on gender affirming care for minors.
00:01:47.640
They typically see a whole bunch of 50-year-old white guys.
00:01:51.020
I wanted our team to be younger, to be inspirational.
00:01:53.960
The Pentagon just announced that we made a tiny accounting error when it comes to the Ukrainian military.
00:02:00.480
For FY23, the final calculation is $3.6 billion.
00:02:10.080
All of these financial institutions, they buy politicians.
00:02:13.340
You can take this big ton of money, and then you can start to buy people.
00:02:18.580
What can we learn from Hunter Biden's plea deal today?
00:02:21.460
For the children of the people in charge, there are no penalties.
00:02:28.640
More independent voters watch Fox News than any other TV source.
00:02:34.000
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events with Jack Posobiec.
00:02:48.600
So I want to say thank you to everyone who has stuck with us for like 500 episodes.
00:02:56.900
But look, I just wanted to say from the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone that supported us over the few years that we've been on.
00:03:06.200
Look, when they came to us and said, let's do a show, I said, all right, let's do it.
00:03:09.220
But, you know, I want it to be the show that we want to do, not just a show that other people want us to do.
00:03:18.660
And when I talk about shows and movies that need support, my wife and I, Tanya Tay, we went to Washington, D.C.
00:03:29.260
And in Washington, D.C., we were able to watch the hardest movie that I've ever seen in my entire life to sit through.
00:03:38.000
And this film, and we've got a clip for it that I want to show you.
00:03:45.240
It's, it will bring you to tears within the first few minutes.
00:04:03.140
It is the fastest growing international crime network that the world has ever seen.
00:04:13.280
Because you can sell a bag of cocaine one time to the child five to ten times a day.
00:04:23.900
In fact, some of the footage that you see right there in the trailer is actually footage.
00:04:39.280
I, you know, Tanya turned to me at one point and asked me if I was saying something to her during the film.
00:04:44.860
And then she realized that I wasn't saying anything.
00:04:49.560
I was just, I didn't know how else to express or deal with the emotions that I was running through while I was watching this movie.
00:04:58.680
Because it follows the path of two children who are stolen from their home under false pretenses.
00:05:06.220
And it shows what happens to those children throughout the film as they are trafficked.
00:05:20.860
And I will say that it's not explicit in terms of what you see.
00:05:29.080
And I would certainly just say that this is not a film that you want to bring kids to.
00:05:38.100
You make the decision, but definitely not something for young kids.
00:05:45.540
But the underlying emotion of what's going on with these children and these sick, I mean, folks, I did a year at Guantanamo Bay, all right?
00:05:58.500
I came face to face with those guys working as an analyst down there.
00:06:09.320
This is different than a criminal, you know, petty crime.
00:06:13.420
Because this is someone who is going after children, little children.
00:06:24.640
You see the look in their eyes before it happens.
00:06:28.900
And all I have to say is everyone must see this film.
00:06:33.120
Thank God that Jim Caviezel and everyone, we got to meet with them, made this.
00:06:37.900
Eduardo, Verosteguet, Tim Valor, who we add on.
00:07:02.360
I'm always listening to Human Events with Jack Posobiec.
00:07:05.040
All right, folks, we have to talk about this because we are splitting things up.
00:07:11.820
The woke corporations, they're out there, the L.A. Dodgers, et cetera.
00:07:17.100
We don't want a virtue signal anymore when we're just trying to buy products.
00:07:20.520
Look, progressive corporate America is pushing their crazy messaging that is alienating conservative families.
00:07:31.900
You got Starbucks strong-arming their customers on abortion.
00:07:36.900
Makeup companies like Maybelline are making a mockery of women by supporting trans models.
00:07:42.100
And then, of course, you see what Disney is doing, forcing gender ideology in every single movie now.
00:07:46.560
Thankfully, you don't have to fund them anymore because we have a tool.
00:07:50.460
It is called Public Square, and Public Square is the solution.

00:08:39.280
I'm also really excited to bring on our next guest.
00:08:43.020
I almost met our next guest when we were out in L.A. last week, but it turns out I couldn't find her within the throngs of thousands of praying and prayerful and peaceful Catholics.
00:08:54.720
But, ladies and gentlemen, we have the great author, writer, and mom, and domestic extremist, by the way, Peachy Kanan joins us now.
00:09:02.320
Peachy, thank you so much for being here on Human Events with us.
00:09:07.000
Well, tell me, so we didn't get to link up at the rally.
00:09:13.980
Just for the audience, for someone who was there, what did it feel like to see something like that right in the heart of Deep Blue L.A.?
00:09:22.420
I've never seen that many base Catholics in one place in my entire life, even when I go to Mass.
00:09:28.520
And just all the cops that were there, I mean, and they were, I don't know if you noticed, but the police were definitely on our side, the LAPD, you know, as we processed up to this.
00:09:43.920
I mean, honestly, here in L.A., that was probably a new experience for them to be, like, welcomed and treated respectfully by people in L.A.
00:09:55.840
I mean, it was a different story here in the summer of 2020.
00:10:07.220
It feels like, and we saw The Sound of Freedom last night, and I have to tell you, you need to see this movie if you haven't seen it.
00:10:14.720
And I feel like there's, in some way, the rally that we did, the prayer rally at the L.A. Dodgers, the fact that Sound of Freedom is coming out, the fact that your book is now out there.
00:10:26.160
Now, it really is part of this huge pendulum swing back to the norm.
00:10:35.740
This isn't some, like, right-wing fantasy, whatever.
00:10:39.960
This is just back to norm because it's swung too far to the left, and things have gone too far.
00:10:50.300
That's why I wrote my book, Domestic Extremist, A Practical Guide to Winning the Culture War.
00:10:54.260
It's not about being a real domestic extremist.
00:11:00.700
You know, we want to live our inborn identities as men and women.
00:11:07.460
And right now, we need to protect those children.
00:11:09.820
I mean, our kids feel like they're under attack everywhere, at school, on all their screens.
00:11:21.440
It's not about being some kind of, you know, crazy person.
00:11:25.980
And I'm not talking about going back to, like, the 1780s.
00:11:30.700
You know, when it was normal for a woman to have three children, when marriage was considered a good way to be happy.
00:11:37.100
These things have been, have become totally taboo.
00:11:42.620
I mean, you look at some of this, and, you know, people say, oh, you know, women in the workplace, women care for kids.
00:11:52.100
She went up, and then she, but what she did was that she went to college, then had kids, like, right away.
00:11:59.500
Took a couple years where she was sort of working half-time, part-time, et cetera.
00:12:03.100
Then, after we were older, she went back to school, got her master's, continued on in her career, and was perfectly fine having both.
00:12:11.440
And yet we were told, and women were told, that there's no possible way you can do that.
00:12:17.080
You know, and conservatives just want women in the home shackled to the kitchens.
00:12:23.920
But that being said, there's also a mentality that I would also point out to say, like, what's wrong with a parent staying home?
00:12:32.320
Like, we live with this mindset as if, like, that's prison, that's slavery.
00:12:37.540
Okay, really, compared to driving for an hour and a half each way every day to get in.
00:12:44.820
And, you know, just like Michael Douglas in another famous L.A. movie, he didn't make it all later in that movie, though.
00:12:53.900
And that this idea that, you know, you're being shackled to a cubicle is somehow liberating as opposed to having a family.
00:13:02.840
Yeah, I mean, I write in the book about my experience.
00:13:09.840
We took a huge financial sacrifice for me to do that.
00:13:12.600
But, like, I didn't want to outsource my parenting of a newborn to strangers.
00:13:19.120
I just feel like that is a normal maternal instinct that young women are, like, told to ignore that feeling that you should want to be with your newborn.
00:13:30.580
And then when my then four-year-old was in preschool, I had an incredible opportunity.
00:13:34.880
I went to work at a huge, giant entertainment company here in Los Angeles.
00:13:40.800
And, you know, it was sort of like a dream job.
00:13:43.880
And these women would have their babies and come back to work after six weeks.
00:13:49.960
And I would be like, where's your baby, you know?
00:13:54.680
And that's what they would call daycare to kind of, like, make it feel, sound better than it was.
00:14:00.580
And then I got pregnant, luckily, and I went home and I never went back.
00:14:07.380
But when your little kids are small, I mean, they want mommy.
00:14:11.060
And I think it's time we have to listen to what the babies want for once.
00:14:28.480
I just don't know if I'm going to sit and do it.
00:14:31.620
I actually have so many male readers who have been reaching out to me and DMing me.
00:14:36.580
They're – even young guys, they're reading the book.
00:14:38.480
They're sharing it with their wives, with their mothers, with their mothers-in-law.
00:14:43.060
I have dads reaching out to me telling me they wrote – I had to send four books to a man.
00:14:47.760
He wanted a copy for each one of his daughters.
00:14:50.200
So, I mean, this is definitely not just for women.
00:14:52.300
There's a chapter on men, what's happened to men, how the kind of myth of toxic masculinity has sort of destroyed men.
00:15:02.140
And I think it is an important read for really for men and women.
00:15:11.360
It's actually very cute because that's the joke, right?
00:15:14.560
But, you know, I'm a domestic extremist that's being completely normal and staying home.
00:15:18.740
And look, you know, this is something that I could see Tanya, my wife, loving because, you know, she comes from Eastern Europe and she comes from a place that doesn't have wokeness or even the last, whatever you want to call it, 50, 60, 70 years of leftism that has just been pushing back on traditional society.
00:15:39.500
And when she comes here, even something you just mentioned about daycare, she said something about that.
00:15:44.640
She said, well, where I'm from, usually moms would take off three years.
00:15:51.760
And you would take off and you would stay home.
00:15:53.960
And there's also a huge culture of multigenerational living that the grandparents come and take care of the kids.
00:16:00.980
And they just never went along with any of these things that we consider, you know, quote, unquote, normal in the West that for them, it's like, why would you do that?
00:16:11.340
Why would you ever and then you're going to pay somebody who's, you know, has got to deal with what, 30, 40 other kids that's not giving the one on one attention, plus that the attention that you would be getting from someone who is a family member, a direct family member of the children.
00:16:28.560
I mean, they basically kind of brainwash you as a young woman.
00:16:32.500
I mean, the book is really about also my journey from being like I was like a pro choice feminist liberal.
00:16:42.100
I never met anyone who believed in God until I was way into my 20s.
00:16:46.280
So this book, you know, I did not wake up like this.
00:16:48.900
This book is really about also my like 180 that I did.
00:16:52.380
But basically, they brainwash you from being from a young age to sort of distance yourself from your maternal instinct.
00:17:01.560
You know, if you're pregnant, it's just a clump of cells.
00:17:05.920
Here's take some take take the birth control and stay on it.
00:17:12.240
And oh, if you want a baby, don't worry, we'll freeze your eggs.
00:17:14.960
And like getting women used to the idea that they can delay motherhood.
00:17:21.340
And, you know, you can just drop your six six week old off at daycare.
00:17:24.780
Then what you what it leads to is over time, as those children grow up, you sort of feel like a little bit less ownership over them.
00:17:31.200
And it's much easier than for teachers, school counselors, you know, transgender activists to kind of get their hooks into your kids because you've kind of relinquished your parental authority.
00:17:49.840
And the book is for sale now on Amazon and anywhere books are sold.
00:17:54.600
Everyone go and get this book for the woman in your life, for the men in your life, for everyone out there.
00:18:00.880
She's a great writer and a great follow on Twitter.
00:18:07.460
Look, folks, you got to go out there in this world.
00:18:13.420
And like, look, I'm a cradle Catholic kind of guy.
00:18:15.960
I sort of came out of the box this way, but for so many people, it's so important to hear these stories.
00:18:28.240
And I did have moments where, you know, you go through things.
00:18:41.120
And then you see what's actually going on behind the scenes in the Intel community,
00:18:51.420
We've got Richard Barris up next to go through all the data in the 2024 Horse Race.
00:19:01.140
When I grew up in the hood, I rolled with bloods.
00:19:05.860
You can't be listening to all that slappy, whack, trimatozolitzabam ship, nippy-bam-bam,
00:19:15.140
Ladies and gentlemen, every day, the parallel economy grows bigger and bigger.
00:19:20.360
It is powered by everyday Americans who are sick and tired of the woke propaganda being
00:19:30.680
For years, they have been dumping millions into leftist causes.
00:19:33.920
And we have had to take it because you need a cell phone.
00:19:36.780
And probably you thought there was no alternative.
00:19:39.780

00:20:26.740
We have with us the People's Pundit, Rich Barris.
00:20:30.740
Look, Rich, we are looking at a lot of insanity going on out there on the campaign trail.
00:20:38.400
We got Trump giving interviews, this massive Hunter Biden deal, and the DeSantis campaign.
00:20:47.400
And I guess my question for you is the horse race.
00:21:05.180
Are any of these indictments, now that they've sunk in a little bit more, now that the media
00:21:10.020
is pushing the spin more, they say, oh, why did he take the boxes?
00:21:18.520
What's the latest in the horse race front for 2024?
00:21:21.320
We've consistently had Trump now for weeks, you know, around 60%.
00:21:27.280
So whether it comes in 58 or 62 or 61 or 59, you know, it's been consistent.
00:21:46.500
If you look at this nomination, you know, there's not a whole lot we can compare it to
00:21:54.300
But if you go back to 2016, Jack, you know, we have the one top tier candidate here.
00:22:00.060
That is never usually the case when they have several top tier candidates, maybe a few mid
00:22:09.220
So the second biggest vote getter is Ron DeSantis.
00:22:14.300
And it's not because he's winning any more votes.
00:22:16.640
I really think there's just this comes down to, Peep, you have Trump, who is the only top
00:22:24.400
And then you have everybody else who is running to be the replacement because, I mean, Jack,
00:22:29.420
right now, Ted Cruz would have been in a stronger position than Ron DeSantis is.
00:22:34.780
So even John Kasich would end up in the 20s and polling in 2016.
00:22:39.800
And Trump would be leading a crowded field like this one with around 30 to 35, you know,
00:22:45.220
and at one point he did start to hit 40, but not for a long time.
00:22:54.400
To see who becomes the replacement, if that's inevitably something that they're able to
00:23:03.180
And look, I've said this to a lot of people, and I think that it is something that bears
00:23:11.360
I think it is, by the way, going to get end up just becoming noise to a lot of people because
00:23:16.360
there's some look, there's folks like you and me that we're the new, you know, we got
00:23:20.040
our news junkie hat on saying, oh, what's what's this one that we want to parse the tea
00:23:23.720
leaves and get into it with Robert Barnes and go through, you know, this by this and
00:23:29.900
And if you are someone who's like that, you're going to be, you know, looking at it one way.
00:23:35.060
But did the vast amount of people look at this like that or did they look at it differently?
00:23:38.940
They think much more in generalities than we do because they don't really have the time.
00:23:52.120
So we, you know, we're always trying to parse out every little detail on what impact may
00:23:57.160
And in truth, the general public is really just looking for affirmations.
00:24:01.080
And if you asked people six months ago whether or not they thought the Joe Biden administration
00:24:06.920
would try to charge Donald Trump to hurt him in the election, they would have told you
00:24:11.560
they believe that if you asked them whether or not they thought that Hunter Biden would
00:24:19.020
So what these events are doing, and I think the Hunter Biden thing really does hurt the
00:24:26.520
And you literally have Donald Trump saying they'll let him off with something small and
00:24:33.980
Remember in 16, Jack, people really knew or they believed that Hillary Clinton was a pay
00:24:39.720
And, you know, when the WikiLeaks emails dropped, it just confirmed what they believed.
00:24:46.300
It's just it confirmed something they thought about the candidate.
00:24:51.240
And that's the way the general public views this stuff.
00:24:58.960
And the events of the last week simply tell them what they already knew, which is sad.
00:25:08.740
But I do think that the general public already views it that way.
00:25:14.160
And if anything, though, you know, you have to, I guess, say that then who does Trump need
00:25:19.920
to talk to then in terms of reaching out so people can say, all right, you know, there's
00:25:29.260
And I actually let me ask you a question about that specifically, because this has come up.
00:25:35.460
We're reporting it over at the Post Millennial.
00:25:43.920
We could potentially see this as a wedge issue now between Trump and DeSantis in a way that
00:25:52.700
They've been, you know, sort of arguing over, I'll hire better people.
00:26:00.460
This, I do think, though, would be a major policy difference if it bears out.
00:26:07.560
And I'm not going to say because I haven't seen the DeSantis campaign make a huge pitch
00:26:13.620
When it comes to the issue of tariffs, how important is that in the Rust Belt on China?
00:26:21.400
And it's amazing because Rust Belt voters are a lot more savvy on trade than the rest
00:26:29.440
And we found that out because we have polled every single state about trade negotiation
00:26:34.260
tactics, such as tariffs and policy, different policies, NAFTA versus the USMCA.
00:26:43.820
And I imagine that's because it has impacted them.
00:26:46.500
And when I saw that, I got to tell you, I think DeSantis stepped in it.
00:26:49.740
The minute I saw that, I thought to myself, well, even if something was to happen and Donald
00:26:55.740
Trump did not become the nominee, then that would hurt DeSantis badly in the Rust Belt.
00:27:02.080
So in places like Pennsylvania, they support the use of tariffs for trade negotiation, two
00:27:13.760
Republicans over the years, and this is why it's going to impact, it could impact the
00:27:17.560
primary if Trump is smart with it, because over the years, Republicans used to oppose
00:27:22.740
tariffs and Democrats were supportive of tariffs.
00:27:28.940
And Trump talking about tariffs made Democrats, some, most, you know, the party generally recoil,
00:27:34.340
but 10 to 15% of that, you know, of Democrats being that working class, trade sensitive voter.
00:27:41.500
That was what Trump, who Trump could appeal to that other Republicans could not.
00:27:47.060
And now in a Republican primary, if you are against tariffs and you sound like you're being
00:27:52.500
funded by the club for growth, you're going to have a seriously difficult time in Iowa,
00:27:59.680
And remember, the first in the nation contest is Iowa.
00:28:02.760
And they tried to outflank Trump on abortion because that has been the predominant issue over
00:28:08.380
It's already a difficult task to go up against a guy who overturned Roe v.
00:28:14.620
Now they're going to have to do that and tell the farmers who support those tariffs, by the
00:28:22.120
It's a major mistake, major blunder by DeSantis, major.
00:28:26.900
And by the way, when I see something like that, I was just going to say a complete opposite
00:28:32.480
of what I heard him say at an event in Naples, Florida last year.
00:28:38.480
Somebody had asked him specifically about his change in his views of economics.
00:28:44.180
I've come to learn under Trump, we have a country before we have an economy.
00:28:47.760
And sometimes you have to do what's best for the country instead of, you know, what is
00:28:51.800
typically thought of as the best thing for the economy.
00:28:54.040
And it sounded like he was making a very America first like pitch.
00:29:01.300
He said it at a seminar in Hillsdale, 100% for Hillsdale leadership seminar.
00:29:05.080
We both gave speeches there and it sounded like he was going to adopt a much more America
00:29:12.100
And now here we are again, which is a flip flop from what other people have heard from
00:29:18.960
But trade, open yourself up, this to me, this to me, and I've said this, by the way,
00:29:24.500
and for folks out there who have been tracking it, whenever I go out and talk about the new
00:29:29.340
right or the America first movement, I always say trade and immigration are the two major
00:29:34.800
issues that have switched Trump from the previous, you know, GOP establishment type Mitt Romney
00:29:43.400
And if you notice that when Brett Baier asked Donald Trump, what would he do day one?
00:29:48.640
The very first two things he talked about were trade and immigration.
00:29:54.280
And like, I'm not sitting there, you know, coordinating with the Trump campaign before
00:30:01.880
But the idea that, you know, these are the key issues that I think have stuck with him
00:30:07.640
because look, he's been talking about it for 40 years.
00:30:10.660
He's been talking about it since he was on with Oprah.
00:30:15.160
And of course, it's extrinsic intrinsically linked to foreign policy because both of those
00:30:19.900
are aspects of how we conduct our foreign policy, neither of which include, by the way,
00:30:27.040
Rich, if you can stick with this for another segment, I'd love to be able to tease this
00:30:31.160
out a little bit more because this could absolutely blow open not only the primary, but potentially
00:30:40.800
Because when we're talking about the Rust Belt, we know that you need at least one or two of
00:30:45.300
those Rust Belt states for anybody who wants to be the next president of the United States
00:30:51.260
or else you're going to end up with the Mitt Romney map.
00:30:53.520
Coming back, Richard Barris, the People's Pundit, Human Events.
00:31:03.060
Rich, we've been talking about the Rust Belt, you and I, and we're talking about specifically
00:31:07.500
what makes a Rust Belt voter vote for Trump and talking about these issues, trade and
00:31:14.200
It feels like with this issue of tariffs and then also Trump's issue on Fox News is his
00:31:19.540
answer to his top two issues that this is actually bringing it to the fore.
00:31:24.220
And here's what's interesting is those aren't necessarily, I mean, obviously the border is
00:31:31.040
It comes up, by the way, in the movie Sound of Freedom, and we were plugging it before you
00:31:34.600
came on, the border plays a huge role in this because they show how the southern border and
00:31:40.460
the fact that we don't have one is used to exploit these children going back and forth.
00:31:45.420
And when we talk about migrants across the border or even this, no, it's not true.
00:31:53.120
At one point, I'll kind of give away a little bit, but they're able to save one of the kids
00:32:00.340
But that's only because they had already identified him.
00:32:03.060
And this idea of Joe Biden taking away the DNA testing, it's insane.
00:32:08.200
But I want to we were talking during the break that about trade and immigration, they're not
00:32:11.980
necessarily issues that you see in the news on a day to day basis.
00:32:15.820
Yet they do swing voters because there is a lot of parts of this country that are where
00:32:21.700
their jobs, their livelihoods, their towns, their communities are directly affected by trade
00:32:27.140
and immigration. And at the same time, though, we didn't really see those issues as the top
00:32:33.620
focus in 2020. And I think that's because of the George Floyd riots. It's because of the
00:32:38.160
pandemic. What do you think happened in 2020 that made Trump not able to capitalize on those
00:32:45.400
Yeah, we had some events, right, like covid that kept him away from people, because in
00:32:51.840
this we were saying during the break in 2016, Trump was laser focused no matter what came
00:32:56.960
at him when he got in front of voters, whether it was a rally or private or closer, you know,
00:33:03.120
When he got in front of those voters, he just continued to hammer his message about trade,
00:33:08.020
which is intertwined with the economy and foreign policy.
00:33:11.160
So it allowed him to have this big, broad message and immigration, which also, by the
00:33:17.540
And yet in 2020, you know, I think part of it is events.
00:33:20.220
But the other part is that it was a little bit more consultants, you know, a lot more
00:33:24.640
irons were in the fire as opposed to 16 when it was, you know, very, very same thing.
00:33:31.440
A lot of synergy with the people he had around him with his message.
00:33:34.460
And it was more about the candidate and the message and not so much about, you know,
00:33:38.200
traditional campaigning and then trying to do it in a weird setting with the pandemic,
00:33:47.600
And there were issues that were on the table that were left there.
00:33:58.860
Bernie was, first of all, used to have an A rating from the NRA, but he was anti illegal
00:34:05.060
immigration at that point used to say that hurt workers' wages.
00:34:08.900
And he was one of only candidates, Democrats and, you know, elected Democrats to say, and
00:34:13.980
have as a presidential candidate, I'll work with Trump on some of these trade issues because
00:34:25.940
Where did he beat Hillary Clinton that everyone who polled it thought that Hillary Clinton was
00:34:30.060
going to run away with double digit lead, a double digit win?
00:34:36.040
It was very close in Ohio and in Pennsylvania, even though Hillary Clinton was supposed to
00:34:40.680
have this Rust Belt coalition and this African-American coalition that was going to help her steamroll
00:34:47.000
He lost those voters in the 2020 nomination, Jack, because he gave up on that message and
00:34:59.780
But they don't like the Republican Party and they don't trust the Republican Party.
00:35:06.460
But by the way, Trump won, I'm I am going to throw out there and I've said this behind
00:35:12.420
the scenes a couple of places, but I've made this contention.
00:35:16.600
I can kind of see RFK playing a similar role to that as Bernie did in 2016 because he is
00:35:35.060
He's not necessarily an elitist, even though obviously he's from the Kennedy family.
00:35:41.840
Yeah, Jack, I'll blow your mind with a number right now in the last national poll that we
00:35:48.020
And we asked this question because we not only were asking Republicans to identify a Trump
00:35:56.680
And almost 40 percent of RFK's voters said that they would vote for Donald Trump if Joe
00:36:05.460
It's why it's interesting that his favorability now has just and I mean this week started to
00:36:12.160
And that's important because he hasn't been able to break 20 percent in our polling because
00:36:16.560
all of his support comes from this independent but eligible to participate in a primary vote.
00:36:23.020
He has not really been able to break in to the Democratic Party, the base.
00:36:28.620
And that fact that his favorability is rising now is a problem for Joe Biden.
00:36:36.100
It would be very difficult to beat him in a primary.
00:36:40.580
And we've been trying to tell people this for weeks, months even if he runs, if this guy
00:36:46.000
runs, you're going to want to court his voters because they're going to they're like soon
00:36:49.880
to be disenfranchised voters, much like Bernie's vote was in 16.
00:36:54.360
And I'm telling you, Jack had which, by the way, because we all know what the Democrats
00:36:58.640
We all know what the Democrats are going to do to RFK.
00:37:01.200
We know we've seen this playbook a million times.
00:37:03.560
The super it doesn't matter how many delegates he gets.
00:37:05.780
I'll tell you right now, doesn't matter how many delegates he gets, doesn't matter how
00:37:10.640
They will swing the convention and it'll be a done deal.
00:37:12.760
He could win state after state and it won't matter.
00:37:16.220
That's why they're moving the calendar the way they're doing this.
00:37:24.760
And those are soon to be disaffected voters, soon to be very pissed off voters.
00:37:29.500
And if Donald Trump hadn't won 12 to 18 percent, depending on the Rust Belt state, of Bernie's
00:37:35.920
primary vote, he would never have carried Michigan.
00:37:40.480
Pennsylvania is a little bit different story, but he needed Bernie's vote in Michigan to
00:37:46.460
I mean, obviously, RFK is going to have a tougher time than Bernie had.
00:37:52.260
But what's going to happen to him is going to be more out in the open.
00:37:55.380
And there's a lot of synergy between his vote and somebody who would vote for Donald Trump.
00:38:00.760
And I have said this before and I'll say it again.
00:38:02.600
I actually think that RFK would be a major problem for Donald Trump in a general election.
00:38:07.800
It would be he would be a very difficult candidate to be.
00:38:11.220
And well, those those Democrats that we refer to as, you know, we kind of refer to them as
00:38:23.420
And yeah, but before the Reagan Democrats, this was called the Kennedy Coalition.
00:38:29.660
This was the original working class coalition from 1960 that was able to put it forward.
00:38:36.580
This is what Ted Kennedy attempted to do the last time a Kennedy tried to primary a sitting
00:38:45.900
And by the way, if certain events did not transpire, you could have seen Ted Kennedy beat
00:38:53.660
You know, speaking of submersibles this week, you know, with Ted Kennedy, I was just going
00:39:04.160
Look, Rich Barris, we got a couple we got a couple of minutes left.
00:39:10.920
So I think, Jack, that when we're looking at the calendar for the nomination process,
00:39:15.400
for me, of course, Iowa and New Hampshire, interesting to keep an eye on.
00:39:19.780
But the truth is, if Trump wins Iowa, it's a wrap.
00:39:23.300
And so that's why I've really focused on so far Florida and some of the big delegate states,
00:39:28.940
because I'm really seeing it at this point as a last stand.
00:39:32.080
If you look at Super Tuesday, Trump has massive leads in the vast majority of these states.
00:39:37.380
And they're not states that I don't think any other candidate could break into.
00:39:49.120
So we focus nationally and on Florida, but we are now, and this is where people can go,
00:39:53.440
we are now asking the locals community, what other state do you want to dip into?
00:39:57.040
And people can participate in that and in the polling and how we design it and everything
00:40:10.820
So basically what Rich is saying, folks, is if Trump wins Iowa, that's going to be potentially
00:40:18.100
But if DeSantis is able to come in, win Iowa, we could see more of a back and forth with
00:40:26.820
But Super Tuesday seems like it'll be strong for Trump.
00:40:33.040
You're telling us exactly what's going to happen before it happens.
00:40:36.860
And of course, of course, we are praying for the people that are trapped on that submarine
00:40:43.060
And God, and thank God that there aren't any Kennedys down there.
00:40:46.280
All right, folks, we are going to come right back.
00:40:48.000
We've got some more information for you here at Human Events.
00:40:49.980
Stop buzzing in my ear about the boring people at your office.
00:40:57.200
I'm trying to listen to the new human events with Jack Posobiec.
00:41:00.840
All right, folks, there's also been a ton of news lately, particularly as pertains to
00:41:08.460
the People's Republic of China, a Chinese spy base that originally the Biden administration
00:41:19.740
Communist Cuba doesn't have a Chinese spy base.
00:41:24.480
And then they say, OK, they do have a Chinese spy base, but it's Trump's fault.
00:41:29.560
And then they try to do everything else under the sun to blame these things the same way.
00:41:32.940
If you remember, they tried to blame the spy balloon.
00:41:51.020
He went in and did the kowtow on, right, in Beijing.
00:41:56.620
They went in, did the kowtow with Tony Blinken there, like a little clerk that he is.
00:42:01.440
And you can see him there leaning, leaning in to Xi Jinping.
00:42:05.680
And folks, I have to tell you, if you're wondering why all this is happening, if you're wondering what's going on, if you're wondering what we can do and what we can learn about.
00:42:26.740
This has been Mearsheimer's warning that we have been banging on the table for six months.
00:42:32.520
We do not want to enter into a two-front armed conflict on both sides of the planet.
00:42:39.800
We're currently in a proxy war with Russia right now, as stands, even though there's an operational pause on the battlefield in Ukraine.
00:42:46.600
But if we go and escalate tensions even further with Taiwan, vis-a-vis the Taiwan independence and the Taiwan Strait, even though Blinken came out and said, we do not support Taiwanese independence, Taiwanese independence.
00:43:02.740
So if you remember during this past Christmas break, when I decided to completely throw the news cycle out and spend nothing but six weeks going into full depth, the receipts of the CCP, now you can see that everything that we talked about has come true.
00:43:23.940
It is coming true, it is coming true, and it is coming to pass because this administration is not attacking them.
00:43:34.560
And so people have said to us, how can we get to the China files?
00:43:42.840
Folks, we have come up with a very simple way to do it.
00:43:45.860
Myself, the team, the crack team here at Human Events has come up with the Little Red Meme.
00:43:52.340
Just as Chairman Mao had his Little Red Book, we've now created the Little Red Meme.
00:43:58.380
Go scan the QR code on the Little Red Meme, and you'll get full access immediately.
00:44:08.000
I put it across Twitter, Truth, Getter, on the Telegram page.
00:44:17.180
It goes through the full, in-depth documentation.
00:44:30.660
The globalist system that was built with the blood of the students of Tiananmen.
00:44:34.540
The secret deal between George H.W. Bush, General Scowcroft, when he went over there in June of 1989
00:44:45.320
To put together the system that we now call globalism.
00:44:48.860
That is the system that gutted the Midwest, that gutted the South, that gutted this country.
00:44:53.740
That is why Shanghai looks the way it does, and I-95 is falling apart in Philadelphia.
00:45:01.780
Folks, you need to get the China files, and you can share this out, by the way, with anybody.
00:45:06.140
And as a free troll, if you'd like a free troll, what you can do is crop it so that you don't see it's from human events,
00:45:12.180
and then just send it to one of your liberal buddies or, you know, liberal family members and say,
00:45:19.400
So you can even crop out the human events part and just send it.
00:45:22.740
And then get to see their reaction when they open it up and see that it's actually completely exposing the truth about what's going on.
00:45:29.740
We also walk through a Taiwan invasion scenario, what it would look like, what it would look like from a naval perspective.
00:45:36.600
The fact of the matter is that you would see, and by the way, what I, the only thing, and if we ever do go back and edit this,
00:45:44.020
and I don't know, Producer Angelo, we may have to look at to see if there's a way we can add a little coda to that episode,
00:45:48.880
because the use, and I would, and I've talked about this on War Room,
00:45:52.440
the use of the kamikaze drone fleets that we've seen on the battlefield in Ukraine that Russia has used,
00:45:59.320
I predict that that is exactly what would be used against U.S. aircraft carriers,
00:46:05.160
as well as just massive streams of rockets, of missile barrages that would be laden into these aircraft carriers in any Taiwan Strait scenario.
00:46:15.340
Folks, you're talking about a carrier, a United States aircraft carrier with 5,000 sailors on it, 5,000 sailors,
00:46:27.060
You have to understand, those kids, those officers, those sailors, those enlisted, they wouldn't be coming home.
00:46:36.940
So if that's what you want, then please go along with Joe Biden.
00:46:43.680
Put the neocons, put the neolibs, put Victoria Nuland in power.
00:46:46.720
By the way, the same Victoria Nuland, who apparently is getting involved in the Kosovo situation right now,
00:46:52.320
because Kosovo and Serbia are going at it again.
00:46:55.520
This was something, we had Rick Grinnell on the other day.
00:46:57.440
The story's going completely viral over there in the Balkans.
00:47:00.280
This idea that they are now going toe-to-toe again, and who's involved?
00:47:08.100
Folks, there's a lot of insanity going on in our world today.
00:47:10.900
We are going to follow up with what's going on in Kosovo.
00:47:13.200
We will follow up with these conflicts in the Taiwan Strait.
00:47:16.660
We will follow up the Korean Peninsula, all of it, Ukraine, Russia, of course.
00:47:20.320
I do want to also let you know that there is going to be a very special episode of Tim Pool tonight.
00:47:28.560
TimCast IRL will return tonight with a very special, though as yet to be unnamed, host.
00:47:41.800
But, folks, I got some news before the show came on today about a friend of the family who passed away,
00:47:51.580
Go and support the ancient order of Hibernians because he was a member of them.
00:47:54.960
But I remember this guy because he worked in the paint shop in the town where we grew up.
00:48:03.360
I've talked about how my town's fallen apart and how you can't live in towns like that,
00:48:08.160
and towns like that don't exist anymore, and a place for my kids.
00:48:10.740
And I was thinking about it, a town with a paint shop where when you walked in, the guy knew your name,
00:48:16.480
you knew who he was, you were friends with his kids, you played together, you played Little League together.
00:48:24.460
Knowing people that work in your town doesn't exist anymore.
00:48:30.560
Just going fishing with your friends, knowing people in your community, that is what we are fighting for.
00:48:38.360
So it's a reminder to all of us that your days are numbered.
00:48:42.680
You only get 24 hours in every day, and it's up to you.
00:48:45.820
Ladies and gentlemen, you have my permission to lay ashore.
