Jack Posobiec is back with a jam-packed show for you today as he talks about the latest in the latest headlines, including the latest on the Iran nuclear deal, the auto workers union's opposition to President Trump's plan to go green, and much more.
00:00:49.880Don't be coming to me saying, can you get me in after this thing sells out because it will sell out fast.
00:00:55.380And 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.
00:01:09.560We are in a fifth generational conflict.
00:01:12.600For every lie they tell, we're going to get in their face and yell two truths.
00:01:23.980This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.
00:01:27.860It's been over 10 days since the Biden administration provided an update on the status of Mali, the special envoy for Iran.
00:01:33.900He has been MIA on the job now for weeks and reportedly being investigated by the FBI for his handling of classified information.
00:01:40.260This auto workers union wants Biden to pump the brakes on his effort to go green.
00:01:45.780They say that his plan to make two thirds of every new vehicle over the next nine years completely electric would put a lot of them out of work.
00:01:53.920I did happen to see the movie Sound of Freedom this weekend.
00:02:00.060The disgraced Dr. Larry Nassar has said had been stabbed multiple times during an altercation inside of a federal prison in Florida.
00:02:08.360He was convicted, remember, of sexually abusing female gymnasts, many of them Olympians.
00:02:14.160When we're talking about children, minors, I think it's probably not unconstitutional in light of all of the other ways states can regulate minors differently than states can regulate adults.
00:02:27.700It's the media's fault. To be clear, the governor almost exclusively appears on friendly conservative outlets.
00:02:33.040And even there, as you can see, it doesn't seem happy with the questions.
00:02:36.280As for his claim, it's the media who don't want him to defeat Donald Trump.
00:02:40.560Polling shows that it's actually a plurality of Republican voters who don't.
00:02:44.440Here's the problem. He ran a primary race to the right of Trump where he seemed like he's advised by people who don't get off the Internet and think Twitter is real life,
00:02:52.140rather than trying to reach many disenfranchised voters who supported Donald Trump once but are looking for something a little different.
00:02:58.100Ron DeSantis is his own worst enemy. It doesn't really matter what anyone else does.
00:03:03.420People are not going to gravitate toward Ron DeSantis.
00:03:07.480Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition Human Events Daily.
00:03:12.220We have a jam-packed show for you today, July 11th, 2023.
00:03:17.120The NATO summit that we've been telling you all about just kicked off today in Vilnius.
00:03:23.460I was in Vilnius a couple of weeks ago there at the presidential palace.
00:03:27.600But Vladimir Zelensky, president of Ukraine, some harsh words, harsh words from Mr. Zelensky for NATO because he turns out that he found out on the way to the summit that guess what?
00:03:42.600All that work, all those promises were for naught.
00:03:47.140Ukraine has been rejected for NATO membership.
00:03:52.460Now, of course, they're saying, well, we'll get back to you later.
00:03:55.760We're just going to delay it for a little bit.
00:03:57.780There's just a few more conditions, some things we have to work on.
00:04:01.260Zelensky releasing an incredible, just this morning, 6 a.m. Eastern time, a blistering statement attacking NATO, saying Ukraine deserves respect.
00:04:14.940We are receiving signals that wording is being discussed without Ukraine.
00:04:19.200This wording is about the invitation to become a NATO member, not about Ukraine's membership.
00:04:24.080It's unprecedented and absurd when time frame is not set, neither for the invitation nor for Ukraine's membership, while at the same time, vague wording about conditions is being added, even for inviting Ukraine.
00:05:27.400But we'll be more than happy to send you more weapons.
00:05:31.060We'd be more than happy to send you more vehicles to get blown up in your counter-offensive.
00:05:36.220While your people have to die fighting Russia for us and we'll continue to arm you, but we're not actually going to lift a finger to defend you ourselves.
00:05:49.220Ukraine really needs to ask themselves what's going on here.
00:05:52.920Are you really dealing with people who have your best interests in heart or theirs?
00:05:58.460Look, I said last week, sue for peace.
00:07:47.180Go to preparewithposo.com and save big on each four-week emergency food kit that you need for your family.
00:07:53.180Each kit is backed with delicious energy-boosting breakfasts, lunches, dinners, drinks, and snacks that will keep everyone going strong when the going gets tough.
00:08:01.200Act now, you will get massive savings on each kit you need.
00:08:05.260Go to preparewithposo.com and place your order before the deadline.
00:08:08.700Listen, you'll never forgive yourself if you or your family suffer.
00:08:53.800But I do have to say, can I get your take?
00:08:56.180And I know that you and I, in addition to talking about the 2024 shakeups, that we've seen this huge news, I think, out of the NATO summit.
00:09:06.440This statement from Zelensky saying, basically finding out, and of course, we don't know whether or not this is really written for him or how much of this is prescripted,
00:09:15.720but basically blasting NATO for saying that Ukraine will not be given membership at the summit, where they're all meeting right now in Vilnius.
00:09:24.440What does this really send in terms of a message?
00:09:27.220And are they essentially trying to have their cake and eat it, too?
00:09:29.780They're saying, we'll give you the weapons.
00:09:33.480But, oh, by the way, we won't give you the defensive guarantees, so go have fun fighting the Russians by yourself.
00:09:40.320Well, I mean, I don't think you could take the leaderships of any NATO countries seriously ever again.
00:09:50.360You know, they're already hanging by a thread, most of them, in terms of popular, you know, consensus behind their views.
00:09:57.540And I don't think anybody, I mean, I think you'd have riots on the streets overnight if Ukraine were allowed into NATO overnight and invoked Article 5,
00:10:06.780because that would effectively mean a third world war.
00:10:10.120And it's a world war for a lot of people.
00:10:12.860While they, well, the polling still bears out, the publics in the West particularly believe that Western governments should be supportive of Ukraine in their fight against Putin's Russia.
00:10:23.980They don't believe that the Western nations themselves should become involved.
00:10:27.400And so they're having to tread a very thin line here.
00:10:30.740And the person getting the thin end of the wedge is Zelensky himself.
00:10:36.600He has proved unable to pursue any kind of spring offensive, just like I predicted there would be no spring offensive,
00:10:44.600to any measure of success as far as either his Western benefactors or, in fact, his own public concern.
00:10:51.220And then on top of that, you now have this, you know, diplomatic fracas that he finds himself in.
00:10:57.720And it's not just the content of the message, right, calling it absurd to not want a third world war.
00:11:03.120But it also stood out to me that, hey, how come this guy sometimes speaks and writes in perfect English and sometimes speaks and writes in broken English?
00:11:12.120So you're right to bring up, you know, who knows who actually put that statement together.
00:11:17.820But what it does feel like is one of the most panicky guilt trips that you can you can try and offer up when you're losing a major both diplomatic and physical fight.
00:11:28.340No, I think that's right. And I think, honestly, when we look at the situation on the ground, they're being chewed up in this counteroffensive.
00:11:38.040There was no spring counteroffensive. It's turned into a summer counteroffensive.
00:11:41.540It's one that was not co-signed by any of the leaders of Ukraine's military or their their ministry of their ministry of defense.
00:11:51.000This idea that they would just basically be flinging themselves at Russian minefields and Russian artillery has turned into a complete nightmare materialistically for the Ukrainians.
00:12:03.700And it doesn't surprise me at all that, of course, in NATO, they want full speed ahead because, of course, they've said publicly this isn't about having Ukraine win.
00:12:12.580It's about having them this idea that we're going to degrade Russia and that we're going to degrade Russian armaments.
00:12:19.220Well, who's doing the degrading and what what cost is being borne by the Ukrainian people and the Ukrainian nation in order to serve the needs of NATO?
00:12:29.020And I'm not sure how that's helping other than the grave diggers in Kiev, which I don't know if you saw.
00:12:33.780There was some impromptu protest over the weekend because they don't have enough space to build graves over in Kiev.
00:12:41.700That's the latest there. But anyway, I want to get your take on that.
00:12:44.180You're joining us today, though, because you've launched this podcast on the campaign trail.
00:12:50.400I find it fascinating. One of the best source guys in the business after myself, of course.
00:12:55.860But but walk us through walk us through the latest episodes of this and and what this podcast means in terms of the listener.
00:13:05.200And then also, of course, how they can access it.
00:13:06.660Yeah. So one of the things one of the complaints that my audience, I guess, always make of me is that I don't do my own show and I have done in the past.
00:13:17.620I think I either had this time slot in the past or the three o'clock time slot in the past on Real America's Voice.
00:13:24.780And and, you know, God bless you, Jack, because it's just not for me doing doing daily shows like that.
00:13:30.460It's such a heavy lift and and it's much more work, I think, than people realize.
00:13:37.020And it's also not the way I like to frame things.
00:13:39.980You know, I'm a writer by my main profession and an editor of words, but I don't mind putting together kind of these compendiums every week of, you know, it's between 45 and 47 minutes long every week.
00:13:55.360And it's it's the major flashpoints of the campaign.
00:13:58.540It's not just like, hey, here's the news for the day.
00:14:01.700And certainly no offense to the people who do that every day.
00:14:05.260It's just it's just way too much work for me.
00:14:07.260So I get to sort of distill the campaign world down and I wear several hats while I'm doing it.
00:14:13.860Right. So I wear the I've run campaigns hat so I can tell you what's going on and why certain decisions are being made throughout the week.
00:14:22.920And then also I'm very well sourced within a number of different campaigns.
00:14:27.820People would be surprised who actually likes to talk and likes to say, hey, here's what I think we did wrong this week.
00:14:34.720Here's what where I think we're going next week.
00:14:37.380And I think, you know, all of those things put together make for a very sort of cool inside politics podcast.
00:14:46.100So it's at it's at the national pulse dot com.
00:14:48.820I love doing it specifically because it's one segment I do every week called how not to campaign,
00:14:53.400where I focus on a particular thing that I thought stood out for the week as a flub or something that might harm the campaigns.
00:15:02.380And and yeah, I think people are really seeming to dig it.
00:15:06.200People can get it over at the national pulse dot com.
00:15:08.060So what? OK, so so if you can if you can give away some of your secrets for us, what what would you say in the past week for the campaigns?
00:15:18.680I know you focus a lot on DeSantis, but there's other campaigns out there.
00:15:21.960What would you say was the biggest flub of a campaign of the last week?
00:15:25.920And then what was the biggest success?
00:15:27.180Well, that's interesting, because personally, I take a very dim view of the fact that DeSantis sort of retreated from the trail himself at the end of last week
00:15:39.240and that Casey was out there doing the majority of that, you know, mama's for DeSantis campaign launch.
00:15:47.880I think it struck most people as a little bit strange, a little bit the principal, the candidate taking a backseat to his wife on the campaign trail.
00:15:56.140And the way she handled it, I think, was odd as well.
00:15:59.440A lot of talk up there about her children and the tantrums they throw and throwing slime onto the ceiling of the governor's mansion and all of this stuff.
00:16:08.800And yes, in isolation, those can be really funny and endearing stories.
00:16:13.500But she went on for I think it was five minutes, maybe a little bit longer of just like horror story upon horror story upon horror story,
00:16:22.100effectively saying like, hey, we're pretty poor disciplinarians as parents.
00:16:26.700And I went to her tone in the podcast as well.
00:16:30.260And her tone was that of exasperation.
00:16:32.640It wasn't a mom telling like cutesy stories about her kids.
00:16:36.220It was it was you wouldn't believe what they did this time.
00:16:39.840And then and then I had to do this and that and the other.
00:16:44.440So that was a combination, right, of Ron stepping back, her stepping into the limelight and it not going particularly well.
00:16:52.400There are there are things that I think campaigns are doing, which are which are interesting and innovative.
00:16:56.500And I'm actually hoping to have Vivek Ramaswamy on a future episode to talk about how he's doing this this innovative thing around donations and cutting ordinary people into that process of bringing bringing donations, bringing funders into a political campaign.
00:17:36.140And I also appreciate that you in in the same way that that I something I think about a lot is tone.
00:17:41.800And, you know, you've got the you know, the Casey DeSantis, the the the breathing.
00:17:46.500Then in the first week of episode, I got a little shout out because you mentioned how Ron DeSantis was in his interview with Jesse Waters was eating while on camera.
00:17:58.840And that's something which is just number one, it's just rude.
00:18:02.020And the number two for for a lot of people and, you know, because, you know, me for some of us, we just have that thing called misophonia where you you just literally can't listen to that.
00:18:12.480And that was something where I think you kind of you kind of aped it a little bit on the episode to like that was the part I was great to actually get get out of here.
00:18:21.480Get it. I had it on my car and I had to like cranked all the way up as I was leaving Wawa.
00:18:26.180And it's like, no, no, I was drove into the back of somebody.
00:18:34.320But when we get back, I do want to go through with you and handicap some of the latest moves because there have been big moves just in the last 24 hours.
00:19:44.460So if you want to get a subscription, if you want to get the three bags a month, if you want to do whatever you want to do,
00:19:48.460blackoutcoffee.com, promo code POSO20 gets you the 20% off your entire order.
00:19:53.620Now, Raheem, you know, something that happened this week that has been, you know, getting a lot of attention online.
00:20:00.280I broke the story late last night just via Twitter, put us on Truth Social that Governor DeSantis and I want to be very clear about something.
00:20:11.480The Turning Point Action is coming up this weekend and it's Saturday, Sunday, and we've got President Trump.
00:21:23.520Yeah, look, so Jack, in fairness to Ron DeSantis, he has actually been summoned for crisis talks by his donors up to the Hamptons sometime in the next week.
00:21:38.340So probably he's actually unable to attend the Turning Point conference because his campaign needs a turning point, right?
00:21:45.920His campaign is really, I mean, I cannot stress this enough, because I've watched a lot of DeSantis influencers over the course of the last 24 hours, less than, on the Internet,
00:22:00.460like slamming Turning Point and saying, oh, you guys are all just, you know, Trump people.
00:22:07.540And, you know, but the governor has done turning point events many times before and received, you know, riotous applause at these events.
00:22:16.840I shouldn't have thought that there was reason for his campaign to necessarily believe that he wouldn't still be welcomed just because he's not doing particularly well in the polls and because he said some nasty things about the frontrunner.
00:22:27.740I think most people are big enough and ugly enough, right?
00:22:30.660I certainly am to be able to deal with things like that.
00:22:33.180But there are two other corollaries to that, which I think are dreadfully important on this.
00:22:40.640Number one, you know, DeSantis and his campaign have been running not towards but away from populism over the last couple of months.
00:22:49.200And you can see it in their fundraising, right?
00:22:50.800They don't do the average $34.20 donation that the Trump campaign has.
00:22:58.240That's why he's being summoned to the Hamptons for these crisis talks.
00:23:01.500Where is our money going and why isn't the campaign going well?
00:23:04.960And I think the other part of it is he's so incredibly, and I don't know whether this is coming from him or Jeff Rowe, his campaign strategist, or where it's coming from, right?
00:23:13.960But they're so incredibly wantonly offensive in the way they treat people.
00:23:20.880And firstly, in the way they treat MAGA voters who they actually just insult them.
00:23:26.460Well, no wonder you're not picking any of them up.
00:23:28.360You're just, you know, your people are just online trashing them.
00:23:31.500And also to the donors, because DeSantis is expected, per Charlie Gasparino's report from this morning, to tell the donors that he's playing the long game and, you know, not to worry.
00:24:03.220There's a major, major DeSantis campaign flub.
00:24:05.900And I cannot figure out for the life of me how you continue to choose the bad response to everything.
00:24:12.980Remember, last week, they put out that horrible gay meme, and everything you saw all week was DeSantis and the word gay in a headline.
00:24:19.760And people do word association in their head, right?
00:24:22.540And instead of just, like, taking the L and leaving it, they send him on a Fox Court podcast with Tommy Lahren, where he's now defending a meme that is supposedly created by a third-party non-campaign person.
00:24:34.600And the principal is out there defending it.
00:24:37.220Just day after day after day, these people are showing, like, what apps – I wouldn't even say amateurs.
00:24:59.140But when you said that, I remember sitting there thinking, like, hey, you know, it's really nice that I'm the host of the show, and I get to bring on people to make the predictions for me so that I don't have to worry about actually being held to account by them.
00:25:17.080I mean, I could see – as I've said it before a million times, I think Trump wins the nomination.
00:25:22.580But 10%, I said he's been such a good governor.
00:25:25.700He's built up such a – not only a financial war chest but a political war chest of capital and goodwill in his fights against some of the – you know, these emissaries of the woke left that I thought for sure that it would turn.
00:25:40.160But there was a moment that stood out to me that I don't think you mentioned on your podcast, but it was very interesting.
00:25:46.980And I sent a text to Richard Barris about this, and he and I will be chatting right after you, asking about it as well.
00:25:53.820But when President Trump brought up Governor DeSantis' name recently at an event in Iowa for farmers, it drew booze.
00:26:06.880And I remember thinking this is a Republican event, and at other times – and of course, President Trump's gone after DeSantis for, I think, months at this point, probably at least seven months going back to January.
00:26:18.600But this idea – or even before – but I've never heard that reaction from even a grassroots crowd before.
00:26:34.440One, I think everybody who back when, whatever it was, November, said that Trump was wrong to be attacking DeSantis back then.
00:26:44.580I think all of those people need to take a long, hard look in the mirror, because Trump knew back then what everybody else knows now, right?
00:26:50.780Which was that globalist donors were backing Ron to put the skin suit of populism and MAGA on, but represent a philosophy that's totally different.
00:27:00.160And again, you know, in the long run, Trump ended up correct.
00:27:03.280The second part of it is, well, it was a Trump event, so naturally the person who's been attacking Trump back now is going to get some boos and some jeers in that audience.
00:27:15.060But I think more interesting is that Trump's name doesn't elicit those responses when DeSantis attacks him out on the stump.
00:27:25.840And that's a big, that's a more interesting juxtaposition, I think.
00:27:30.740It just sort of goes to show you, and if you really want to get into the deep data on this stuff, you can, because a lot of pollsters are asking these questions.
00:27:40.240You know, prioritization, not just of your candidates, but on certain issues.
00:27:44.940And the only one that Ron comes out even remotely tough on is woke and gay stuff, right, which is great, but it's not the be-all and end-all of being the next president of the United States.
00:27:56.160And Trump comes up top on immigration, Trump comes up top on economy, Trump comes up top on crime, border wall, like, you know, foreign affairs, you name it, across the board.
00:28:05.680And these are the kitchen table issues, these are your bread and butter issues.
00:28:09.740And I think, I think now that people have started to see that DeSantis is kind of like a, like a one-trick pony who has to wear special shirts so that he doesn't sweat through them,
00:28:19.500and who's constantly going to placate his donors and all of this stuff, I think they're willing to boot at this point.
00:28:25.580You know, all his goodwill that he amassed over the years of being a good governor, an okay congressman, all of that's, all of that's gone out the window.
00:28:35.680So Raheem, you know, we'll let people know where they can go to subscribe to your podcast, to subscribe to National Polls, folks.
00:28:44.180And I hope you know Raheem's in dire streets.
00:28:46.640He's had to sell his camera, he's had to sell his microphone in order, sell his suits.
00:28:53.160I mean, he's wearing tatters in order to be able to launch this new podcast for the good of the people.
00:29:03.660I am, I am minutes away from doing these podcasts from the street corner, okay?
00:29:11.020But the one thing we will not do is sell our souls.
00:29:14.580Oh, well, I guess there's two things we won't do.
00:29:16.120We will not sell our souls and we will not sell advertising.
00:29:18.760You know, the National Polls is an ad-free website that is tailored to be attractive for the audience.
00:29:26.200There are stories of 200 words because that's the news, not 1,200 words because I'm trying to keep you on the site and serve you more ads like the corporate media does, right?
00:29:48.920It's my way of saying thank you and reading people into conversations and campaign talking points that you just don't get in most of the media.
00:29:58.260And in some cases, you will get nowhere else at all.
00:30:03.000I'm always grateful for the time to promote it, Jack.
00:30:04.900And, you know, we have a community of thousands now, and one of the best things about it is we have a community chat, and I'm in there every day, and I love talking to them and hearing their ideas, and they DM me stories from around where they are out in the country, things they want highlighted.
00:30:17.900So there are so many benefits to this.
00:30:19.800So I hope people will come to thenationalpulse.com and join us.
00:30:24.640Folks, Raheem is putting everything on the line.
00:30:27.500He's sold everything, his entire wardrobe, all that's left are the pocket squares.
00:30:32.720He's down to the pocket squares, folks.
00:30:36.140That's all I'm wearing down there, by the way.
00:30:38.380That's, ah, you know, there's a reason that, you know, we cut the, cut his mic.
00:30:44.200Would you, why is he still on the show?
00:30:46.140All right, you know, this is, we're going to have to go another couple of weeks without a Raheem Kassam appearance.
00:30:50.260Because, you know, this is like the time, by the way, when I had Alex Jones on, and I asked him boxers a brief, and then he just kind of looked at the camera, and he goes, you know, most of the time, nothing at all, Jack.
00:31:01.160And I'm like, Alex, boy, this is, this is why they have to ban you everywhere.
00:31:06.740But we will not ban Alex Jones, and we will not ban Raheem Kassam, and we will not silence anyone.
00:31:11.360And that is why Richard Barris, the voice of the people, the people's pundit, is joining us next here on what may be the very last Human Events episode ever.
00:31:23.940Stop buzzing in my ear about the boring people at your office.
00:31:27.560I'm trying to listen to the new Human Events with Jack Posobiec.
00:31:31.200Folks, I got to tell you something personal.
00:31:34.940I like knowing exactly where my meat comes from.
00:31:39.000And there's a place called Moink that comes from a small family farm all across the United States, small family farms.
00:31:46.960And you can help save these family farms and get access to the highest quality meat on earth when you join the Moink movement today.
