Jack Posobiec talks about the latest on the Ukraine nuclear plant, the CIA finding cocaine in the White House, and why the President of Ukraine thinks it s a "false flag" operation. Plus, a look at the latest in the war in Ukraine.
00:19:10.180Now, Rich, the last time we just left, I want to go right back to you.
00:19:13.840You continue to be telling us about the various states, the way the apportionment works, and
00:19:18.120how essentially these rule changes, and to your point, to your credit, you've said that
00:19:22.460rule changes do occur during every year, every contested year, and it's not like there's
00:19:28.020some huge conspiracy behind rule changes, but the point is that we're trying to get to the bottom of what effect these rule changes will have on the primary, which, of course, leads up to the convention, the convention floor there in Milwaukee.
00:19:45.420Because I've already heard, and I've already seen across Twitter and out there in the information battle space, people are already talking about contested convention.
00:19:54.360I've already seen that balloon has been launched that's being floated right now, this idea of a contested convention.
00:20:02.640And actually, you know what, Rich, let's set the table for people, because what would be the conditions to set up a contested convention?
00:20:15.980So there are 2,467 delegates that are up for grabs.
00:20:21.780Out of that, a nominee must get 1,234, which is just over a majority, if they are to clinch the nomination.
00:20:30.960It doesn't matter how dominant one is over another.
00:20:33.640If they don't reach that number, then it will be a contested convention.
00:20:37.380And delegates in almost all of these states, Jack, are bound to the results of the caucuses and the primaries until a certain vote.
00:20:44.900And then they're unbound, and they can do whatever they want.
00:20:48.820So this rule change, if California does move to a truly proportional, and by the way, I misspoke before, Alaska's not the only one on Super Tuesday.
00:20:57.980Virginia also is done proportionately, although they have different rounding rules.
00:21:02.160They have a different equation for the rounding rules.
00:21:04.080If they did this, it would do something – we just call it dilute the delegate count.
00:21:10.640So it would make sure that nobody – it's getting a lot closer to a Democratic nomination contest.
00:22:19.660If you don't clinch, if you don't clinch, any nominee, whether it's Zasanis, whether it's Trump, whether it's Mickey Mouse, for the purposes of this conversation.
00:22:38.700That if they don't clinch and it does become essentially a contested convention, or if you have delegates as, and I'm going to have to say it, as Ted Cruz famously said at the RNC of Cleveland, Ohio, which I was at.
00:23:18.080What that means is that, especially in a state like California, I mean, there's a lot of people who, you know, openly say their true feelings about the MAGA movement, but they are not MAGA friendly, Jack.
00:23:31.540Anyone who claims otherwise is really telling tales.
00:23:35.980And we could drop the pretentious nonsense about this idea that they didn't, like, there aren't people out there who have been talking about a brokered convention for a while.
00:23:46.460And so this, whether you think that that's their intention or not, I'm not here to speak to their intentions.
00:23:52.600I don't know what's in their minds and their hearts.
00:23:54.180But this does, if you move California to a truly proportional system with the at-large delegates and then you do a district delegate split, you do get that possibility that much closer, a lot closer.
00:24:09.000So on March 5th, you know, the bottom line is Trump's expected to sweep almost every state on March 5th.
00:24:16.040California is one that DeSantis has a lot of allies in California.
00:24:20.040You know, a couple of months ago it looked like he could beat Trump there.
00:24:23.640Now he's down considerably, 35 points, roughly, you know, 38 and some.
00:24:28.060So if you're a DeSantis ally, you most certainly want to see this delegate change.
00:24:33.500There's no ifs, ands, or doubts about it.
00:24:37.540If you're a DeSantis ally and a supporter, you got to get him to March 15th.
00:24:42.300If he gets clobbered on March 5th or March 19th, excuse me, if he gets clobbered on March 5th and then he goes in, there's a couple of contests on March 12th, right before Florida.
00:24:52.380He doesn't take Georgia and something else.
00:25:12.240I'm just telling you what the impact is, and if you are someone who supports DeSantis, you like this rule change, without a doubt.
00:25:19.080However, again, I don't know that it does anything better for the process because more proportionality is going to inevitably lead the Republican Party down the road of superdelegates.
00:25:30.220That will happen in the future if they make more proportional.
00:25:33.540Well, and this is why, by the way, that the Democrats introduced the superdelegate system after the 1980 election because they had a guy, Ted Kennedy, who was primarying Jimmy Carter.
00:25:49.720They never wanted a guy who, by the way, and I know I'm going to get blown up every time I say that, that Jimmy Carter was kind of a populist Democrat, that they never wanted a guy like that in office again.
00:26:01.740He was a populist, tear-at-your-heart-string Democrat.
00:26:05.320It's not somebody that you would have thought.
00:26:08.920He was governor of Georgia, and that just wasn't jiving with the Democratic Party at that point.
00:26:14.560And by the way, some of the conventions from the flower movement folks ended with violence and police, and this proportionality leads to division because there's no clear winner.
00:26:27.780And then their answer to that was, well, let's get the superdelegates to override so we can end the system quicker, end the process quicker, and have more control over it.
00:26:38.780I mean, if that's the way the Republican Party wants to move, oh, you know, more power to it.
00:26:44.740You know, voters should decide the nominee, Jack.
00:26:47.960Voters should decide the nominee as well as the president.
00:26:50.980Well, and it's like, you don't want the Justice Department determining who your nominee is.
00:26:55.500Believe me, you do not want the party determining it either.
00:26:58.980Well, and of course, and we should bring this up as well since we're getting into these questions of it seems like with the potential rise of superdelegates,
00:27:09.720and I'm not saying that's happening, but that potential rise with the idea of the Justice Department trying to take Trump out of the race.
00:27:16.880And by the way, and we just have to say it, there's this new warning, this plot by Norm Eisen and others, Jack Smith is part of it,
00:27:27.240because these guys work hand in glove that they think that if they can indict Trump for something regarding or related to January 6th,
00:27:35.920that it'll trigger the disqualification clause of the 14th Amendment.
00:27:40.260I've been pounding the table this for weeks, that then it will disqualify Trump from standing for federal office because he participated in a rebellion against the United States.
00:27:51.320This is a civil war provision that's been on the books in the Constitution since the 1800s.
00:28:54.760This is something else people have to understand because context is important.
00:28:57.500There have been Republicans for a while, establishment Republicans for a while, who have considered something like a superdelegate system.
00:29:08.000And there have been rumblings when, you know, donors get in a room and they say, what are you going to do when you're down?
00:29:14.000People open up and they do say things like, well, there is that clause in the Constitution.
00:29:19.700I don't see why the party can't adopt it.
00:29:21.400If, you know, he ends up getting charged with something like sedition, not that the case would even be probably not that the case would be decided or would come to a conclusion by that time.
00:29:33.840But, you know, if you think if you think anything is beneath some of these people, you got another thing coming.
00:29:43.960They they they know that the system at this point is favoring the voter, you know, and the popular opinions and views of the voter.
00:29:52.840And that's not going their way right now.
00:29:54.540So there there are people out there who would, you know, come hell or high water, do whatever they could to prevent this guy from winning the nomination again.
00:31:26.100Stop buzzing in my ear about the boring people at your office.
00:31:29.740I'm trying to listen to the new human events with Jack Posobiec.
00:31:34.200All right, Jack Posobiec, we are back.
00:31:35.880We're bringing on now one of our favorite guests, Darren Beattie of Revolver News.
00:31:41.360Now, Darren, I know you and I have been watching this situation in France play out over the last week or so, the last few days, with great question.
00:31:51.420And I've seen a lot of conservatives out there don't seem to be getting the right answer.
00:31:57.280I don't even think they're asking the right question when they're looking at this.
00:31:59.840Now, this all started with a, I would say, a George Floyd, Derek Chauvin kind of situation where you had an officer who had to discharge his firearm on a driver who was of Algerian descent, about 17 years old.
00:32:13.320You can see in the video that he was actually attempting to run over the other officer who was on the hood of the car.
00:32:20.920And, of course, the French media won't report this.
00:32:22.620Yet I seem to see a lot of conservatives saying this is happening because it's a Marxist plot, it's Antifa, it's those type of things.
00:32:32.420Is this really political violence that we're seeing in France right now, or is something else at play?
00:32:39.960Well, it's an interesting question, and I guess it depends, you know, what one's definition of political violence actually is.
00:32:48.960I mean, it exists within a political context of the French government, much like the governments of pretty much every other Western nation, deliberately enacting a policy of self-dispossession when it comes to their own country and their own people.
00:33:06.020And so you have a substantial percentage of people living in France, particularly in the cities like Paris, who are from vastly different cultures, and not only from different cultures, but who have been kind of enabled by continuous propaganda, removing any accountability from their actions.
00:33:28.080And so it's almost inevitable that you would see the kind of behavior that you see in France.
00:33:35.040And, of course, there's similarities to other displays elsewhere in the West.
00:33:45.200It looks, you know, it's hard to gauge because it has every appearance of being a real kind of constitutional crisis.
00:33:53.080But it is kind of interesting how these things can always kind of be quelled and how ultimately the rioters more or less are on the side of the regime because it's the regime that let them in in the first place.
00:34:08.220And it's the regime through its nonstop propaganda that basically removes any accountability from the actions of these populations.
00:34:18.600Well, so then the question then becomes, what could the regime do to prevent not only and it looks as though they have sort of quelled this current uprising?
00:34:28.700They shut down the Internet over the weekend in a few areas.
00:34:33.220And in some respects, the French police and the French regime has been willing to use great violence.
00:34:39.260And we've seen this, by the way, against Antifa on Bastille Day.
00:34:43.020You saw it in some of the videos that got out.
00:34:45.140I suspect that's why they cut Internet over the weekend so that they could send people into a few areas.
00:34:50.020But that doesn't really solve the problem long term, does it?
00:34:53.100No, it just contains it until the next inflammation.
00:34:59.020And again, it's, you know, if they really wanted to solve it, they could.
00:35:04.640You know, it's not as though these populations possess actual power and force.
00:35:11.880If the French government and really the overwhelming majority of the French people decided they wanted to put an end to this for good, they could do it within a matter of weeks.
00:35:22.980Of course, there would be international condemnation, the whining about human rights.
00:35:27.440But the physical element of doing that is well within the capacities of the French regime and the French people if they wanted to do it.
00:35:35.720So the fact that they don't and they allow this problem to persist means that for, you know, a couple of things.
00:35:42.920One is that these populations are useful to the regime in some ways, even though they get out of hand, as we saw in the recent riots.
00:35:52.900And secondly, they would rather allow these abuses to continue than cross a line that would cause the regime to be condemned internationally as a human rights violator.
00:36:07.540So really, the squeamishness and lack of political will and the usefulness to the regime are all what prevents any kind of meaningful resolution to this persistent issue.
00:36:48.420the very same areas that coincidentally were also being smashed and attacked by the populations that he has been offering to import.
00:36:57.980Now, at the same time, Le Pen was the runner-up in that race.
00:37:02.180She then became the subsequent runner-up.
00:37:05.320The right-wing party in France continues to go through name change after name change.
00:37:09.580But there seems to be a nascent right that wants to break out.
00:37:14.340I'm not sure if they'll be able to use this situation to their advantage or not politically.
00:37:19.520But we do look at a similar situation because this is what the regime has wanted.
00:37:25.620And in many cases, these very voters are – and there was a video that I posted on Twitter and, of course, it got community noted and they tried to limit the reach of it – of an older woman standing or actually kneeling as police are coming out in riot gear, pleading with them to not go and arrest the rioters.
00:37:46.360And this is the image that I think a lot of people need to see to understand that this isn't some organized group, that there actually are people within France and, by and large, the same block of voters, many of them are 60 and up, who have actually voted for this and want more of it to come into France.
00:38:21.020And with these kinds of people, you know, they'll find any excuse to get on their knees, whether it's that Black Lives Matter or whether, in the case, this woman begging the police not to stop a riotous population from burning down the entire country.
00:38:35.500It's really disgraceful, but it goes to show.
00:38:37.680It's like, it's not simply an issue of the regime itself protecting it.
00:38:43.640And many of the population, so you have the extreme level of this woman begging the police not to intervene in any sense, but I would be willing to guess that probably majority of the population wouldn't have the stomach to do what would actually be required to do.
00:39:01.540And I don't think that any country in the West really possesses the stomach to solve these problems.
00:39:08.020And that's why we're left with half measures.
00:39:10.120And we're left with – not just for reasons of political correctness, but for reasons that people aren't really willing to solve the issue is just constant obfuscations as to what's really going on, the cultural element, the ethnic element, religious element, and even a racial element.
00:39:29.300All of these things people have to – it's easier to deny that those elements are there because there's simply an impasse at any kind of solution that acknowledges those elements.
00:39:40.040And so you're left with the same problem.
00:39:42.520Another point on Macron, because he is an interesting figure geopolitically.
00:39:48.980He is somebody who at least plays footsie with or gestures toward this idea that's described as strategic autonomy of kind of liberating Europe from its geopolitical vassalage to the United States, which is at the very least it's interesting.
00:40:07.180But this kind of thing really goes to show you the limitation of his vision because you can't really contest sort of the global order of what I would call the globalist American empire without addressing these issues, which are very much Western problems associated with that sort of dominant system.
00:40:30.980If he's not willing to deal with the problem, if he's not willing to deal with the underlying problem of the riots in France, he's not really a critic of the order as he sometimes presents himself to be.
00:40:43.100And on a reciprocal basis, you see some politicians who are on the right domestically who lack that vision of independence in the geopolitical sense.
00:40:53.620And I'm convinced that in order to really present the public with a new vision and a new possibility, one has to maintain independence, not only from the geopolitical perspective, but also domestically.
00:41:08.340And unfortunately, there isn't really a single leader that I can think of who exhibits those traits in the West.
00:41:16.680I think the closest leader that I could say, and you could argue whether it's the West or not, but at least in the Western hemisphere is El Presidente of El Salvador, Naive Bukele, who has shown us that there is a quick and simple way to deal with crime.
00:41:32.720How Bukele ended the homicide rate in El Salvador with one simple trick.
00:41:57.420You can't be listening to all that slappy whack, trim out his outlet, it's a bam ship, nippy bam bam, like Human Events with Jack Posobiec.
00:42:04.820So, Darren, let me ask you another question.
00:42:10.720Let's say the similar situation in France were happening in El Salvador right now.
00:42:16.640How do you suppose that El Presidente, Naive Bukele, would deal with it?
00:42:22.160Well, Bukele is one of the exceptions here.
00:42:27.640What he's done is, you know, El Salvador isn't just any country.
00:42:31.420This was the hotbed of one of the most brutal and violent gangs in the world, MS-13, and just crime-ridden country.
00:42:41.520And this one guy demonstrated that, you know, it is actually possible to contain the worst type of violence, as you said, through incarceration, through a little bit of toughness.
00:42:51.120You know, we saw this in the Philippines, too, with Duterte, but I think Bukele is even more competent, has handled it even more responsibly.
00:43:00.080And, of course, you have the usual suspects whining about it.
00:43:03.420The U.S. State Department is on his, you know, on his case.
00:43:07.220And, of course, U.S. government, anyone who, because it's embarrassing to us for somebody like this to step up and show how easy it is if you actually have a competent government that cares about its citizen.
00:43:17.580And, you know, as for all of these human rights groups complaining, you know, you've got to use human rights in quotation marks.
00:43:26.060You know, everyone, you know, should legitimately care about human rights in the two cents, but it doesn't serve human rights to allow the most brutal type of violence to metastasize in the way that it was in El Salvador.
00:43:38.240It's not human rights to allow these problems to persist in France.
00:43:42.100It's not human rights to just simply sit back and allow violence to continue and allow your own citizens to be terrorized.
00:43:50.220And so these human rights organizations, which, you know, are part of their own sort of NGO constellation, their own sort of networks, really exist to prevent any leader from challenging the prevailing Western order
00:44:07.440that really requires this kind of combination of anarchy and tyranny that, you know, certain demographics, certain population groups, basically the criminals get a free pass while law-abiding, responsible, good, traditional citizens bear the full weight and full force of the government's hostility.
00:44:29.920That's unfortunately where we are in the United States right now, but it's very encouraging to see at least somewhere there's competent, smart, and tough leadership.
00:44:39.960So I fully congratulate Mr. Bukele on his amazing accomplishment.
00:44:44.980No, I think we need to find a way to franchise the Bukele solution.
00:44:51.260Perhaps a Bukele masterclass is an order for advanced reasoning.
00:44:57.460But, Darren, it's interesting because one of the other subjects that you and I and another individual that you and I hold in the highest esteem and so close to our hearts,
00:45:07.260Nini Yankovic was dealt a glaring blow over this weekend because a federal court in the Western District of Louisiana, Judge Terry Dougherty,
00:45:18.360has granted a temporary injunction barring federal agencies, including HHS and the FBI, from contacting social media companies for, quote,
00:45:31.940the purpose of urging, encouraging, pressuring, or inducing in any manner the removal, deletion, suppression, or reduction of content containing protected free speech.
00:45:46.760This is an enormous blow to the censorship industrial complex.
00:45:51.520And as you mentioned, the ruling in this injunction basically prohibits Biden administration, Biden's goons, both individually and institutionally,
00:46:01.960from putting their thumb on the scale from bullying social media companies into censoring things that they don't like.
00:46:10.120It's basically a restraining order. It would be nice if we had a restraining order with Biden to keep him away from children.
00:46:16.900But at least we have a restraining order keeping Biden officials away from social media companies that they've been pressuring to censor.
00:46:23.920And I really encourage if people want something encouraging, if they want something positive and uplifting, read this memo, read the judge's memo.
00:46:34.140It's 155 pages. Skim it if you like. But it really is a tour de force.
00:46:39.560It takes you all throughout the censorship industrial complex, all of the major figures, and it has the receipts.
00:46:48.740It has the details. It's just amazing emails presented of Biden White House officials really bullying Facebook.
00:46:58.720It's incredible. Facebook, this is how obsequious they are, say, oh, we're so sorry.
00:47:03.860We've done everything we can. And then the Biden person's like, how dare you?
00:47:08.300I saw one post that was favorable to vaccines. What the hell are you guys doing?
00:47:13.680Do better. And Facebook banned over backwards.
00:47:17.420They said, we're even going to the lengths of censoring and throttling information that doesn't technically violate our terms of service just to keep you folks in the White House happy.
00:47:27.580So it really illustrates directly and conspicuously a dimension of the censorship story, which is it's not just the freaks like Yul Roth and, you know, the censorious commissars embedded within the trust and safety communities, departments of these tech firms.
00:47:46.600A big part of the story was straight up bullying and intimidation on the part of Biden government to censor anything related to COVID vaccines, the lockdowns, masks.
00:48:00.100Of course, the the Hunter laptop was viciously suppressed all the way up to the 2020 election, of course.
00:48:08.900So none of these commissars are happy. I'm sure Nina is, you know, she's probably eating comfort food right now and singing a few show tunes from from the Moaning Myrtles.
00:48:22.120Another one is Renee DiResta, who is arguably even higher up in the censorship hierarchy.
00:48:29.300This is a huge blow to her and her organization, the Stanford Internet Observatory.
00:48:35.400So this is a great development. We need to keep keep the pressure on.
00:48:40.740The war is not over, but this is definitely a battle well and deservedly won.
00:48:47.080Well, I just I just can't imagine how Joan Donovan is going to explain all of this to her refrigerator.
00:48:53.940Darren, where can people go to follow you? Where can they get the latest from Revolver News?
00:48:59.000She is the refrigerator. You go to Revolver dot news, Revolver dot news.
00:49:06.340We got some new stuff, white hot and the Soros minions.
00:49:09.260They canceled us from five different email senders. We're finally back up and running.
00:49:13.800So go there, sign up for our newsletter. And I'm on Twitter at Darren Day.
00:49:20.420Darren Beattie, always a pleasure, my friend. Sorry, William Perry.
00:49:23.660Sorry, sorry, Chicago Bears. No, no, you are no longer the fridge.
