On this episode of Human Events with Jack Posobiec, Jack talks about the latest in the Ukraine crisis, and why he thinks we need more rivers of blood in the fight for freedom. Jack also talks about why the President should withdraw from NATO.
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.
00:01:09.340We are in a fifth generational conflict.
00:01:12.440For every lie they tell, we're going to get in their face and yell two truths.
00:01:23.280This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.
00:01:27.660There are now streets in Washington, D.C. that look like they're out of a scene from Mad Max.
00:01:34.860This group has come together to try to figure out, okay, how do we deploy the funds necessary to invest to create the new clean energy economy?
00:01:46.160If you are naive enough to believe that there are good guys and bad guys in wars, and it's as simple as good and bad, and that the bad guys are crazy, and the good guys want freedom, then you need to do a little bit more investigation into what's really happening.
00:02:02.280I think it's a powerful statement, a powerful statement of our commitment to Ukraine as it defends its freedom today and as it rebuilds the future.
00:02:10.840And we're going to be there as long as that takes.
00:02:13.640My amendment would direct the president withdrawal from NATO.
00:02:17.620They are not a reliable partner whose defense spending should be paid for by American citizens.
00:02:22.880The question of NATO membership, and I spoke about this with President Zelensky, I think should all wait on after the war is won.
00:02:32.860How soon after the war would you like to join NATO?
00:02:49.720If you look at President Trump's numbers today, they are stronger than they were in 2016.
00:02:56.200Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events with Jack Posobiec.
00:03:01.380Today is July 12th, 2023, Anno Domini.
00:03:05.220Folks, we talked yesterday about the opening of the NATO summit, the fact that NATO was not giving Zelensky membership, and then the photos came out.
00:03:20.220And we all saw the photo of Zelensky standing there, alone, forlorn, by himself, even his own wife, not willing to stand next to him after their photo shoot, walking around.
00:03:36.580And I just have to look at that and go, hello, darkness, my old friend.
00:05:16.960Christian families, Christian sons, Christian children that are caught up in this, that are killed in this, that are killed on the minefields.
00:07:30.420You need to find a way to protect yourself, protect your family, protect your investments.
00:07:33.560And right now, that you can get up to $5,000 in free silver on a qualifying purchase of Allegiance Gold when you visit protectwithposo.com.
00:07:43.020If you want to help secure your family's financial future, the best way to do it is by investing in precious metals.
00:07:48.420And the best way to get involved in the precious metals market is with our partners over at Allegiance Gold.
00:07:54.320Allegiance Gold partnering with Human Events to set this up.
00:08:02.020Folks, look, you know, and I'm just going to say it.
00:08:06.260It's like I hear Mike Pence say these things.
00:08:09.260Oh, we need to defend democracy, defend democracy.
00:08:12.400And yet we know that that's not what war is.
00:08:15.640We know that war, and Tucker Carlson was talking about it in his interview yesterday, that if you really think it's some kind of fantasy novel about the good guys versus the bad guys, no, there's always vested interests.
00:08:29.660We're done with the narratives of the past.
00:08:31.180And we understand that this is an internecine conflict where it's Christian on Christian.
00:08:37.620And do we really want more Christians dead on the battlefields of Ukraine regarding, you know, who has control of four or five provinces of the Donbass or something?
00:08:49.280Is this really in the national, the special national interests of the United States at the same time?
00:09:02.380So I wanted to bring on the editor-in-chief of Human Events, who writes over at humanevents.com, also the postmillennial, Libby Emmons, that maybe she can shed some light, elucidate the topic.
00:09:16.660Am I reading it wrong to say that when you've got Christians, Christian moms and dads who are having kids come home in body bags now because of this war, that shouldn't ending that be our goal rather than perpetuating it?
00:09:32.340Yeah, I don't think you're entirely wrong here.
00:09:34.640I think that we have not seen much of a call for peace.
00:09:38.680We have heard the Biden administration speak about how Russia could end this war in a moment.
00:09:44.220But we also heard President Zelensky say that the war would not be over until Crimea was back, part of Ukraine, and that according to, I believe, their constitution, they cannot have an election until there's not a war.
00:09:57.500They can only have an election in peacetime.
00:10:02.100I wonder what the endgame is for the Biden administration.
00:10:06.040And as we heard this morning when Biden was addressing NATO and then addressing a square in Vilnius, it does not seem like they have any plan for an end of the war.
00:10:15.720Instead, we keep hearing repeatedly that the United States will continue to back Ukraine's efforts to fight Russia until forever, until the end, until, you know, they have absolutely no plan to end this war.
00:10:32.500And we keep seeing the Biden administration make promises about escalation and limits to escalation only to break them.
00:10:41.160And I fear that that's going to continue.
00:10:44.800Well, and that's a perfect segue because you have this incredible piece up.
00:10:53.080I see this piece all over Biden's top five broken promises on the U.S. in Ukraine.
00:11:00.840So, Libby, I'd love if we could if you could walk through this for us.
00:11:04.960Yeah, so as I said, at every step of the way with this war effort, Biden has made promises.
00:11:13.960We heard in February 2022, Jen Psaki, then press secretary, was asked about Russia's use of cluster bombs in that conflict.
00:11:24.300And she said that if they were using cluster bombs, that would be a war crime.
00:11:28.600Now we are sending cluster bombs ourselves and Biden let it slip that the reason we're doing that is because Ukraine is running out of ammunition.
00:11:37.920So the idea here is that we're going to send bombs that essentially their use is a war crime while we make more ammunition to send to Ukraine.
00:11:48.140Biden said in December 2022, when asked that we would not be sending F-16 fighter planes to Ukraine, he was asked and he said no.
00:12:02.880We learned that some Ukrainian pilots were in Arizona on flight simulators, F-16 flight simulators.
00:12:10.140That was in March, we also heard that we had in March that we would not be sending fighter jets only to discover that the Biden administration has authorized NATO allies who are in possession of these jets to send them to Ukraine.
00:12:25.960And we learned this morning that Ukrainian pilots would start training on F-16s with those NATO allies in August.
00:12:33.400We also heard from Biden that sending tanks and planes would be World War III, that that would lead to World War III.
00:12:44.360Then we sent, I think, we promised 31 Abrams tanks.
00:12:52.020We were told unequivocally after the invasion began, Biden said in March 2022,
00:12:59.340that there would be no American troops going to fight in Ukraine.
00:13:04.360And then we learned from National Air Guardsman, National Guardsman Jack Teixeira out of Massachusetts, who was leaking documents on Discord.
00:13:14.620We learned that there are at least 14 special operations units operating in Ukraine.
00:13:28.820We have cluster bombs, tanks, F-16s, troops on the ground, and long-range missiles.
00:13:35.980So Biden said that there would not be any long-range missiles sent to Ukraine.
00:13:41.240These are the kinds of missiles that could target assets inside Russia, not inside Donbass, not inside Crimea, but inside Russia proper itself.
00:13:53.940And Biden has said that the U.S. would not be sending these missiles.
00:13:58.460Zelensky keeps asking, just like he keeps coming with his handout every time possible.
00:14:06.040Even right leading up to July 4th, he came with his handout.
00:14:09.700He came with his handout to Congress last year.
00:14:13.160So Zelensky has said that he's going to continue asking for these weapons.
00:14:17.560We were looking into this this morning, France is now planning to send long-range missiles to Ukraine for their use.
00:14:25.440And it's unclear if these are missiles that would be used to go into Russia proper or into Crimea or into the occupied Donbass areas.
00:14:37.120So the reason that these things are important and the reason that these promises being broken is important to track is because each step of the way leads us closer toward direct war with Russia.
00:14:52.480As the U.S. began in the first place, sending weapons to Ukraine, Putin said initially that, you know, certain kinds of weapons being sent, he would not see as directly engaging Russia in war, in a war between the U.S. and Russia.
00:15:11.180But if we provide what missiles that are able to strike inside Russia, that is the U.S. engaging Russia in war.
00:15:21.440And I wonder what the result of that would be, if that would be ignored as simply us backing Ukraine, as we have promised to do essentially until the end of time, or what?
00:15:34.380So I think it's important that we understand what the Biden administration's goal is here.
00:15:40.440Are they intending to drag the U.S. into a direct conflict with Russia or not?
00:15:46.100It seems to me that there are several very clear roads ahead of us that all lead to direct conflict between the U.S. and Russia.
00:15:55.820As soon as the U.S. is engaged with Russia, of course, that means all of the nations of NATO are engaged with Russia.
00:16:07.520We need to know what is being considered here as we look at our own sons and daughters, as we look at our own, you know, unfulfilled recruitment numbers in our military.
00:16:20.620We need to understand what we're looking at and what the impacts would be on the U.S.
00:16:24.360We also need to understand why, why we would be going to war to defend Ukraine, how that would possibly benefit the United States.
00:16:34.520I know that war with Europe in the 20th century was certainly very fraught in consideration and bringing the U.S. into World War I and World War II, there were distinct incidents that did that.
00:16:46.120In this case, what would that be and why?
00:16:50.360I think it's important to ask these questions.
00:16:53.020I think it's, in fact, patriotic and nationalistic to ask these questions as to what benefit a war with Russia could have for the U.S.
00:17:03.640Well, I mean, and this goes back to Hillary Clinton, right?
00:17:07.380Protest war is, she said, is a form of patriotism.
00:17:11.260She said this during the Iraq War, which, of course, she had voted for.
00:17:14.360But, I mean, you look at this, speaking of voting, nobody voted for this.
00:17:18.800Nobody voted for us to escalate in Ukraine.
00:17:20.760Nobody voted for us to get into this, which, by the way, just has to be said that one of the reasons the Axis powers declared war on the United States in World War II, as you mentioned, was because the United States was constantly funneling weapons, material, equipment to the then-allied powers, which did not yet include the United States.
00:17:42.440And, okay, I'm not saying that, you know, that this is the same thing, but I'm also saying that we've seen similar instances in the past where it's, you know, the enemy gets a vote, okay?
00:17:56.200The enemy gets a vote, and that's the first thing that they talk to, they teach you in military planning.
00:18:00.900And that, but it seems like we've totally forgotten that, that, yes, that's fine that if we say we're not involved, but what if the enemy thinks that way?
00:18:27.440And when the grid goes down in the summer, is it really just because of infrastructure issues, or could something else be at play?
00:18:33.060Again, you know, I'm speculating, but I'm making a point, is that we are dealing with things that could generate considerable blowback, that it seems like this administration is not taking seriously.
00:18:55.500All right, so here at Human Events, I want to tell you about a partnership that we've made with a new company, a new product out there that's supporting the podcast.
00:19:22.160And Fume is a wooden, vaporless inhaler with five nicotine-free, vapor-free, and tobacco-free plant-based cores that could potentially help naturally switch you from bad habits.
00:19:36.080Now, look, we're not talking about some weird mind voodoo from your crazy neighbors.
00:19:42.900And they look at the problem in a different way.
00:19:46.100Not everything in a bad habit is necessarily wrong, but instead of a drastic, uncomfortable change, why not remove the bad from your habit?
00:19:53.940And look, I got to say, I'm a guy who's had bad habits, right?
00:19:57.020Fume is an innovative, award-nominated device.
00:21:08.080Libby, we were talking about this issue with the war and a war that none of us voted for, a war that Joe Biden certainly didn't campaign on, but a war where increasingly it seems that American children and certainly Ukrainian children and Slavic children and Christian children are being killed in every day.
00:21:29.100And yet we're told that it's the, and ask me if I'm wrong, let me ask you, am I wrong here to say that when Mike Pence gets up and beats his chest and tells everyone how Christian he is and tells everyone how he's the principled conservative, the honorable conservative, the valued conservative, that the only choice is more war and stacking more bodies?
00:21:51.860And I've seen Libby, that like, look, and so folks know Libby and I are, we talk every single day behind the scenes about stories for human events, for post-millennial, et cetera.
00:22:12.240It's stuff that, you know, the guys, you know, we look at it and there was a video that came out just a couple of days ago of a Ukrainian soldier in this current offensive where he's jumping out of the back of his tank and he's going to go maybe like clear a battlefield.
00:22:29.020But it turns out that he lands directly on a mine after he jumps out and his leg is obliterated and you see the entire thing because they have a, because they have a drone up.
00:22:42.620So his leg is completely shattered and you see the whole thing on film.
00:22:51.620He's able to basically limp back into the, the tank.
00:22:56.420And then as you, the last thing you see as the, the back door of the tank is, is raising up and is one of his, one of his buddies comes out to give him a hand in.
00:23:03.800You just see this, this trail of blood smeared across the back door where his leg had been.
00:23:11.360And I look at these things and I say, who does this benefit?
