I want to take a second to remind you to sign up for the Poso Daily Brief.
00:00:06.760
It'll be one email that's sent to you every day.
00:00:08.660
You can stop the endless scrolling, trying to find out what's going on in your world.
00:00:11.720
We will have this delivered directly to you totally for free.
00:00:40.960
For every lie they tell, we're going to get in their face and yell two truths.
00:00:46.460
This is Human Events with your host, Jack Poso.
00:00:53.120
There's a lot we do not know about the circumstances here.
00:00:56.680
Some reports suggesting that soldier crossed the military border between the North and South.
00:01:01.840
The President of the United States saying that the American people were running out of bullets.
00:01:07.260
We're not making enough ammunition to arm our own troops or to arm our allies for a war of the future.
00:01:12.920
And yet these same people will continue to say that we can send more, more, more to Ukraine.
00:01:18.880
Have a private audience with former President Donald Trump.
00:01:22.640
He and I got a one-on-one together for the first time in years, and it was, frankly, great to see him.
00:01:27.960
You know, all that nonsense between us is under the bridge, and he could not have been more magnanimous.
00:01:33.800
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis hit the trail today amid a campaign shakeup, laying off about 10 staff members as he struggles to gain traction in the crowded GOP field.
00:01:43.560
Donald Trump posted on Truth Social, his fledgling social media site, to reveal this.
00:01:49.680
He says he received a target letter from the Department of Justice, from Jack Smith's office, Sunday night,
00:01:57.040
saying that he is indeed a target of the January 6th grand jury investigation.
00:02:02.400
The difference between being brought up on criminal charges and doing things, like, for example,
00:02:08.560
I think it was shown how he was in the White House and didn't do anything while things were going on.
00:02:20.340
Today's edition of Human Events with Jack Posobiec.
00:02:29.320
President Trump has received a target letter from the Department of Justice stating that they intend
00:02:38.440
and are likely looking at an indictment of President Trump for January 6th.
00:02:46.580
Who could have predicted that they would be looking at an indictment for Trump over January 6th?
00:02:52.860
We've been telling you about this for months at this point.
00:02:56.780
We've brought Julie Kelly on to tell you about this.
00:02:59.320
And as I said, a turning point action over the weekend in West Palm Beach, I will say here again,
00:03:06.200
the plan is not just to indict and convict Trump over January 6th in Washington, D.C.
00:03:15.220
Step two, ladies and gentlemen, is to take that conviction and then parade it around in every single one of the 50 states where he is on the ballot and try to strike him from the ballot.
00:03:35.240
They are preemptively meddling in our elections.
00:03:40.420
This is the two-track plan to stop Donald Trump from winning the presidency once again.
00:03:47.040
The first is to defeat him conventionally through the primary.
00:03:55.620
The primary has been over for a long time at this point.
00:04:00.700
This is unconventional warfare against the American people.
00:04:05.820
This is unconventional warfare against the national populist movement.
00:04:10.060
This is unconventional warfare against who we are as a nation.
00:04:19.340
We are living through an era of regime politics.
00:04:22.480
And the moment you understand that and accept that is the moment that you can understand where we are and what time it is.
00:04:30.900
You have to know what part of the movie you're in.
00:04:35.680
This is the part where it looks like they're going to take out the good guy.
00:04:39.760
And if they do strip him from the ballot, I said it on stage over the weekend.
00:04:46.980
I'm not afraid to say it because it is not a, it's not what I want.
00:04:53.520
It's not what I desire, but it's what I believe is the most likely outcome.
00:05:00.020
That if you strip Donald Trump from the ballot, it will blow this country apart.
00:05:09.360
This is the insanity that they are willing to go through just to prevent a guy from being able to stand in a legitimate, free and fair election.
00:05:20.180
We've already seen how they threw all the rules out the window in 2020 and state after state counting ballots that never should have been counted.
00:05:30.240
And we say, what about all the rules you broke?
00:05:34.260
We don't care because Joe Biden has to be the winner.
00:05:50.240
We've been paying attention for a long time and we've been calling their shots day in, day out.
00:05:56.420
We've got a huge action packed show for you today.
00:05:58.660
Gavin Wax of the New York YRs is coming up next.
00:06:05.120
Yes, Kirk Cameron himself will be joining human events today.
00:06:09.260
Very, very excited to have that for you to bring him forward because this is not just a political struggle.
00:06:15.580
It is a physical, spiritual, and cultural struggle.
00:06:24.280
When I'm working long hours, I'm always listening to human events with Jack Posobiec.
00:06:28.520
Let me walk you through what's going on here, folks.
00:06:34.260
In a little notice report that came out from the Project on Government Oversight, the Project on Government Oversight, all the way back on November 15th, 2022.
00:06:47.220
It was called, The Constitution's Disqualification Clause Can Be Enforced Today.
00:06:55.500
It was by Liz Hempovich, David Janofsky, and Norman Eisen.
00:07:08.080
Norm Eisen, the same guy who was part of fortifying our elections in 2020.
00:07:14.260
The elections that I just talked about, the same Norm Eisen who was involved in color revolutions, the same Norm Eisen who is stating now, and I've got a tweet from him up as well on this, where let's just see.
00:07:27.020
Hey, Trump, you think you're just going to waltz onto primary ballots?
00:07:36.960
And so he's got an article up from Just Security, which then reaches back to this report that Norm Eisen, this deranged leftist, wrote.
00:07:47.360
The Constitution's Disqualification Clause Can Be Enforced Today.
00:07:55.840
So he talks about the attack on the Capitol Complex.
00:07:59.620
The attack, remember, the grave and attack on the Capitol Complex led to the first application of the Disqualification Clause contained in Section 3 of the 14th Amendment in more than a century.
00:08:13.180
Section 3, and I quote, prohibits public office holders who have taken an oath to support the U.S. Constitution and then engage in insurrection or rebellion against the United States or who give aid or comfort to enemies of the United States from serving in public office.
00:08:30.140
The analysis in this report will build on the established collective understanding of Section 3 to guide contemporary application of the clause.
00:08:40.240
The report will specifically prescribe how the Disqualification Clause can currently be enforced against individuals involved in the January 6th attack.
00:08:51.340
Anyway, this is Norm Eisen speaking, so maybe I shouldn't read it in my own voice.
00:08:54.780
To support and strengthen the existing legal procedures for enforcing the Disqualification Clause, we must recommend the select committee to investigate the January 6th attack on the United States Capitol Complex.
00:09:08.220
Includes a full report, particularized recital of all relevant evidence it has uncovered, implicating Section 3.
00:09:17.220
We further recommend that the final report, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:09:27.700
I'm going to put that back so I'm not doing the whole Agent Smith thing with my IFB.
00:09:35.360
The 14th Amendment, Section 3, specifically describes a case wherein, if you were a member of an active rebellion against the United States,
00:09:47.640
and I'm going to let you hear a quote, insurrection or rebellion, right there, insurrection or rebellion, insurrection or rebellion,
00:09:55.080
then you can no longer hold federal office in the United States.
00:10:01.400
Now, the 14th Amendment was passed after the Civil War.
00:10:07.120
It was passed regarding Confederate officials, and essentially after the Union won the war,
00:10:13.720
they set it up so that those congressmen or former, because a lot of, this happened during the Civil War,
00:10:20.680
where a lot of former congressmen, a lot of former senators, then went on to serve in roles as officials of the Confederacy.
00:10:34.380
Yeah, Jefferson Davis was a United States senator from Mississippi.
00:10:38.860
So it was targeting people like Jefferson Davis to state that they didn't want him to be able to further serve if he ran for re-election again in the United States Senate.
00:10:48.820
So this was essentially done for the defeated side in the war through that Reconstruction process,
00:10:57.020
which we'll probably also have to talk about because there's a whole lot of mess that got started during Reconstruction.
00:11:05.560
What we're talking about here is that they are now trying to apply this.
00:11:09.620
And Norm Eisen, the same individual, who if you don't believe that Norm Eisen and Andrew Weissman
00:11:15.520
and these guys are not working in lockstep with Jack Smith, then you've not been paying attention.
00:11:26.680
And then once this conviction happens, because folks, I'm going to cut to the chase.
00:11:34.280
They are going to try to use this to strip President Trump off the ballot.
00:11:41.120
They're going to go and walk this conviction around because, look, I'm going to tell you, I've been here.
00:11:46.140
I've been covering every single trial in D.C., whether it's Roger Stone, whether it's Steve Bannon, whether it's General Flynn, whether it's George Papadopoulos.
00:12:00.080
There is no such thing as the potential for a fair trial within the confines of the District of Columbia if you're a Republican or if you're even anywhere remotely associated with Trump or if you are to the right of, like, Chairman Mao.
00:12:14.980
If you're to the right of Chairman Mao, then guess what?
00:12:17.700
You're going to be convicted over something like this if you are brought up on charges, period, full stop.
00:12:22.820
That's why they bring these charges where they do.
00:12:26.020
So the whole point of the January 6th committee was to essentially taint the jury pool, to already believe that it was an insurrection.
00:12:36.700
Then it was meant to taint jury pools all around the country because the D.C. and legal challengers, they're going to do the same thing that Perkins Coy was doing all throughout 2020 to challenge the votes, to challenge the voting rules, to challenge the election rules.
00:12:52.540
And they're going to walk around and say, how can you let this guy on the ballot because he has been convicted of seditious conspiracy?
00:13:02.880
It'll be seditious conspiracy or something close to that.
00:13:05.980
And Julie Kelly has done a fantastic yeoman's work of walking us through how it is that these statements and texts and conversations can be completely misconstrued as to believe that there was actually a seditious conspiracy to overthrow the United States government.
00:13:27.360
So you need to pay attention to the next thing I tell you.
00:13:31.700
They are going to go to federal judges and they're going to file these cases to knock Trump off the ballot.
00:13:38.280
They're going to try to do so in the primary if they can get a conviction before the primaries are done.
00:13:42.940
If not, they are going to do it in the general.
00:13:45.240
And you don't have to take my word for it because, look, I've got the tweet right here, November 15th, 2022.
00:13:53.960
Norm Eisen, hey, Trump, you think you're just going to waltz onto primary ballots?
00:14:05.640
He laid it out in plain view for everyone to see.
00:14:09.760
You can just go follow these people on Twitter.
00:14:16.980
It's this one simple trick called reading the words that they actually say.
00:14:22.980
And this has also been the goal for a number, right?
00:14:25.900
A number of challengers to Trump that we've seen go on throughout there.
00:14:31.100
And go look, go watch the Tucker interviews on Friday.
00:14:33.940
So many of those people disqualified themselves as far as I'm concerned, disqualified themselves from office.
00:14:38.740
So many of them also are seeing their poll numbers plummet, just absolutely plummet, bottom of the basement, 14%, 10%, single digits.
00:14:56.320
And it's simple because they believe, as we told you on this program, and Richard Barris has told you on this program, that they are going around and they are telling donors that Trump won't be on the ballot.
00:15:07.540
The Trump will be knocked out of the race by something else.
00:15:12.580
If you think you're going to win a campaign that way, if you think that you're going to win a primary that way, number one, shame on you.
00:15:20.760
Number two, that will put such a bad taste in so many people's mouths because they will feel that you went along with this crooked government.
00:15:31.920
They will feel that you went along with this crooked persecution of a former president, and they're not going to turn out for you.
00:15:39.680
You'll turn out a lot of people, but you won't turn out enough, and you will end up with a Mitt Romney map.
00:15:47.860
So these electability arguments are ridiculous.
00:15:51.120
They're ridiculous because of that simple fact.
00:15:57.600
Donald J. Trump showed us a way to win back the Rust Belt, including Pennsylvania, okay?
00:16:03.140
And you fought him tooth and nail every step of the way ever since.
00:16:07.120
I've never seen the Republican Party so upset about winning.
00:16:11.180
And yet you're seeing those same establishment politicians or people who are now siding with the establishment go along and criticize Trump over J6, attack him over J6, go use the establishment line again and again and again.
00:16:26.020
This is being stated for the benefit, not of the voters.
00:16:33.720
So they primed the pump already by saying Trump's going to be knocked off the ballot.
00:16:39.360
See, January 6th brought up the same day as there's legal challenges.
00:16:46.640
Sure, they'll say, oh, I don't think Trump should be prosecuted over it.
00:16:50.960
But then again, you benefit from it, don't you?
00:16:58.020
Well, certainly every campaign in the Republican primary other than Donald Trump's benefit stands to benefit from this, don't they?
00:17:06.620
And so you would be behoovant to go along with what's happening.
00:17:22.360
They can see right through what you are siding with.
00:17:25.140
And you are virtue signaling for the enemy right now.
00:17:28.860
And as a campaign, as advisors, as just voters, as American citizens, you really need to look yourselves in the mirror and ask yourselves, what are we doing?
00:17:42.040
Is it worth it to blow the country up over stripping this guy off the ballot?
00:17:49.540
Is that really what you got into politics for in the first place?
00:17:52.520
Or are you so obsessed with your quest of winning right now that you cannot look at the long-term implications of your actions?
00:18:08.080
And so reality is smacking us all in the face right now.
00:18:10.160
And the question is, how are we going to respond to it?
00:18:22.520
I encourage people to, if you're interested in foreign policy, you've got to follow Jack Masovic.
00:18:34.000
Why are so many people buying emergency food right now?
00:18:38.740
As tensions continue to escalate, our fragile food supply chain will break again.
00:18:43.180
One shocking headline spreads panic-like wildfire, and grocery stores are empty within hours.
00:18:48.580
That means you really need a proper supply of emergency food on hand before disaster strikes, before.
00:18:55.540
You will breathe easier knowing that you can feed your family in a crisis.
00:18:59.840
By the same token, what happens if you get caught up in these travel issues that people are having this summer?
00:19:15.160

00:19:39.280
Go to preparewithposo.com, preparewithposo.com.
00:19:47.980
Folks, when you dig deeper into what's actually happening here, go and look at the polls.
00:19:55.640
And you don't need to be a Richard Barris to understand this.
00:20:25.580
This one from, let's see here, Morning Consult.
00:20:28.560
Morning Consult is a very close tracker, not a Republican poll.
00:20:31.760
Morning Consult has Biden 43, Trump 41, Biden 43, DeSantis 39.
00:20:39.120
So Trump polling ahead of DeSantis there, neck and neck with Joe Biden, though.
00:20:47.760
They've got Trump 55, DeSantis 20, Ramaswamy 8.
00:20:51.320
Got a chance to see Vivek Ramaswamy over the weekend at the Turning Point USA event.
00:20:58.560
And I got to say, this was somebody who had a lot of just a turning point action, I should
00:21:09.760
And Tanya and I, Tanya Tay, the beautiful and lovely Tanya Tay and I went to the Vivek
00:21:14.460
after party, which was held just across the street from the venue.
00:21:17.700
And so a lot of people spilled out over there to go and see what he had to say.
00:21:22.840
I've not seen that level of momentum behind a candidate since Donald Trump first got into
00:21:29.980
the race, though I have my questions and certainly have my considerations about Vivek's background.
00:21:36.500
And so this is something where I think a lot of people are still asking.
00:21:42.280
But we're also going to ask the question, where was this guy in 2020?
00:21:50.000
And so it's a question that's for him to answer.
00:21:53.600
So I will tell you this, that Human Events is working to see if we can reach out to Vivek
00:21:59.640
Ramaswamy and bring him on the program so we can ask him these very questions and give
00:22:11.660
If you want to come on the program, we will always have you on and give you a fair chance
00:22:17.400
And I do have to say, though, that in terms of his comments on Ukraine, now this was partially
00:22:23.260
began at the forum in Iowa, that I thought his comments were very good, were very strong.
00:22:34.040
He offered actual specifics on how the Ukraine war could be solved.
00:22:39.860
Now that, of course, means it's an opening bid.
00:22:43.020
Now at one point he said, Donbass, Crimea, they're going with Russia.
00:22:47.440
But then he turned to Russia and said, or said that he would turn to Russia and say, we want
00:22:52.200
you to break up this military alliance with China.
00:22:56.220
But it's going to be very hard for an American president to do that.
00:22:59.740
Because of course, what have we been spending the last five years doing, or really, and three
00:23:04.620
years in specifics, I should say three years doing, with the exception of the four years
00:23:11.840
But everything else beyond the Trump administration has been set up to drive Russia and China directly
00:23:18.980
Now, if you're running foreign policy, if you are running the United States government, what
00:23:24.040
you should be attempting to do, if you have three superpowers in the world, you have three
00:23:28.600
superpowers, the United States, Russia, and China, what your goal should be is to separate
00:23:35.200
Russia and China from being joined at the hip and then potentially turn one against the
00:23:43.260
And so from a basic rapprochement perspective, you would want to be able to look for ways
00:23:48.760
that you could achieve that, find common ground with Russia being the third country in that
00:24:00.580
And at the same time, you shouldn't demonize India, because India has been one of our closest
00:24:06.480
partners, and India is the obvious choice to balance against China.
00:24:10.220
It is completely insane, and that's why our foreign policy establishment is completely
00:24:18.900
They're doing everything they can to drive our enemies directly into each other's arms,
00:24:23.800
and third, to drive our allies, our allies, into the arms of the CCP, who they already don't
00:24:36.120
And then you have the same group, the BRICS nations, are now talking about introducing
00:24:46.560
And I've seen a lot of people claiming that he changed his position on it, but I think it's
00:24:56.560
The United States government controls the flow of arms, munitions, personnel in some cases,
00:25:06.420
and if you believe American boots aren't on the ground right now, you didn't need Jack
00:25:10.060
Teixeira, the Air National Guardsman, to tell us that there are American boots on the ground.
00:25:16.900
But what's really going on is that the United States is embroiled in a proxy war using Ukraine
00:25:26.340
We've never been told, it's never been explained to us why it is that attacking Russia is good
00:25:34.300
We are told to accept it because there's no other purpose.
00:25:37.940
And Biden apparently this morning has, you know, another 1.5 billion because why not?
00:25:43.800
Mike Pence is probably very, very happy with that.
00:25:45.960
Mike Pence, well, he said, well, it's not my concern, but no, I was taking it into context.
00:25:49.060
The tanks were my concern, not the cities were my concern.
00:25:50.960
It's like Pence, you're the one running for president, buddy.
00:25:54.080
You're the one whose job it is to make sure that you come across coherently.
00:25:59.520
We've already got a president who's completely incoherent, Pence.
00:26:10.700
It's with heavy heart that I have to announce this, that Mike Pence didn't just spend one night.
00:26:19.040
No, it says here that Mike Pence, we're hearing word, we're hearing word, we're hearing reports
00:26:25.360
that Mike Pence didn't just spend one night in the punishment closet.
00:26:28.520
He had to spend the entire weekend there after getting tuckered on the debate stage in Iowa.
00:26:36.400
Our thoughts and prayers are with the former vice president in this trying time, in his time of troubles.
00:26:43.560
You know, when you're a politician, the main thing that you want to tell the voters or the main,
00:26:50.940
even just emotion that you want to express to them is that I care about you, that I care for you,
00:26:56.940
that I have some level of care for you and that about your concerns, about your frustrations,
00:27:01.100
whatever it may be, and that if you work with me, I can help you to alleviate them.
00:27:06.000
That is the single, basic, bedrock, fundamental premise of being a politician.
00:27:13.560
You know, Bill Clinton famously, you know, in one of the 1996 debates with Bob Dole said,
00:27:20.200
no attack line is ever going to put food in a hungry child's mouth.
00:27:26.120
You know, he's never going to feed a hungry child, right?
00:27:27.620
It's ridiculous because, of course, Bob Dole was giving a perfect attack, but here you go.
00:27:33.600
Because this is something that Democrats have been much better at than Republicans for a long time.
00:27:40.120
And this is a huge problem across the Republican board with a lot of these establishment Republican politicians.
00:27:45.720
Republicans, they're so wonky, they're so nerdy, they're so dorky about different issues,
00:27:51.960
they come across dorky about issues, that they don't simply show a little bit of emotion and say that they care about voters.
00:28:01.580
You can see RFK does this all the time, by the way.
00:28:03.860
He just simply sits with people and he listens to their frustrations and he says,
00:28:11.440
The Democrats have been doing it for a generation.
00:28:14.740
Well, there's one Republican who actually has figured out his name is Donald Trump.
00:28:17.320
And this is why I think so many people in the working class were able to switch sides.
00:28:27.680
I'll go to Zelensky and I'll say, I'm going to cut off the money stream.
00:28:30.940
Then I'm going to go to Putin and I'm going to say, look, if you want this done in 24 hours,
00:28:34.900
you can cut off the money stream or turn around and I will bomb the Kremlin.
00:28:44.020
So you threaten both of them at the same time and you get them to sit down with the deal.
00:28:51.840
And what's interesting, I actually tweeted that he could solve this with two phone calls
00:28:54.780
before I saw his interview with Marita Barromo, where he essentially described how he would
00:29:02.980
It's again, not some special insight that I have.
00:29:05.600
And I've never spoken to him about it directly, but it's simple because that's always been his
00:29:12.700
And we talked about this when Rick Grinnell came on, that the Trump administration was
00:29:17.940
known for its security policies, its peace plans and peace deals that were being done
00:29:25.020
You had Korea, North Korea, where apparently there's some soldier who crossed the border
00:29:29.900
North American soldier crosses the DMZ based or cringe.
00:29:35.020
But then we also saw in Israel, the Middle East, the Abraham Accords defeating ISIS, which
00:29:42.240
Then vis-a-vis China, where President Trump got himself involved, sent Rick Grinnell down
00:29:47.460
So that's where he had the Serbia-Kosovo talks.
00:29:58.840
And look, the most fascinating number that came out of that Turning Point Action straw poll
00:30:08.340
Opposition to US involvement in the Ukraine war actually pulled higher than Donald Trump
00:30:16.120
Opposition to US involvement in the Ukraine war actually pulled higher than Donald Trump.
00:30:25.080
But that being said, that's an eight-point delta higher.
00:30:34.240
Do they understand that the Republican base has totally shifted on this?
00:30:40.280
Folks, talking about shifts, we want to get into cultural shifts.
00:30:43.540
And that's why next, coming up here at Human Events,
00:30:49.940
I'm buzzing in my ear about the boring people at your office.
00:30:53.540
I'm trying to listen to the new human events with Jack Posobiec.
00:31:00.580
Listen, when you're going out and you're sourcing food, and people are asking all these times,
00:31:12.100
Look, we're all trying to find out where our food comes from.
00:31:16.040
And what's great is that there's a company called Moink that Human Events has partnered with that tells you exactly where it comes from.
00:31:24.560
Moink food and Moink, their meat, it's sourced from small family farms all across the country.
00:31:33.340
And by the way, get access to the highest quality meats on earth when you join what they call the Moink movement today.
00:31:41.740
Moink is delivering grass-fed and grass-finished beef, lamb, pastured pork, and chicken, and sustainable wild-caught Alaskan salmon straight to your door.
00:31:48.980
One of my favorite parts of being part of the Moink family is that I get to choose exactly what gets delivered in every single box.
00:31:58.900
Ribeyes, chicken breast, pork chops, salmon fillets, and the best bacon.
00:32:08.780
Moink runs their business from a town of just 97 people in Newark, Missouri, and they're helping to save our traditions, our values, and helping save rural America.
00:32:21.680
Keep American farming going strong by signing up at moinkbox.com slash Poso right now, and our audience will get a free ground beef.
00:32:30.260
You can actually receive free ground beef all year long.
00:32:33.520
One year of the best ground beef you'll ever taste, but for a limited time.
00:32:42.260
So, ladies and gentlemen, we've been remiss for not having this next guest on for a long time.
00:32:54.520
Ladies and gentlemen, the great Kirk Cameron joins Human Events.
00:33:01.660
I would title myself the great full Kirk Cameron for being on your show.
00:33:12.620
He's put we're getting over by Kirk Cameron, the celebrity endorsements.
00:33:16.620
So you and I, for people who don't know the story, we first met because we were doing what
00:33:25.000
Library event down there a couple of months ago, which was exactly during the transgender
00:33:33.940
Do you remember that and everything they did to try to shut down our event?
00:33:39.200
And understandably, there were a lot of moms who didn't want to bring their children
00:33:42.440
there, but there were some brave dads and moms who drove in.
00:33:45.740
Some of them were my friends from Virginia that came and we had a great time.
00:33:51.260
I love the way that you read that book of yours.
00:33:53.820
They did a they did a write up of me of that in some one of these lefty publications.
00:34:00.920
And they were talking about how they were terrified that that children would be near
00:34:06.340
Jack Posobiec and Kirk Cameron as they were making fun of, you know, communists and all
00:34:18.580
It's like it's like they want to think of us as cartoon characters.
00:34:21.960
They don't actually think of us as regular people, regular dads who have families that
00:34:31.720
When when you can't attack the book itself, you want to attack the book reader.
00:34:40.460
You want to create these these arguments that scare people away from the person, even though
00:34:46.740
the book that you're reading is absolutely fantastic and is a reflection of what's in
00:34:51.600
Things like kindness, truth, justice, self-control, faith and peace.
00:35:01.440
Because, you know, I've seen some of these headlines.
00:35:03.700
I've read into it, but I wanted to get it straight from you.
00:35:06.020
What is the latest in terms of the fight to shut down specifically your book and how you
00:35:13.360
Well, this began last Christmas where I wrote a book called As You Grow, teaching kids about
00:35:20.080
the value of biblical wisdom and learning the fruit of the spirit, love, kindness.
00:35:24.900
And now my new book is out called Pride Comes Before the Fall.
00:35:27.780
It released June 1st, the first day of the so-called Pride Month, and it teaches kids the
00:35:32.920
value of humility, that pride is not a good thing.
00:35:36.140
In fact, pride is the deadliest of the seven deadly sins.
00:35:39.080
I call it the pregnant mother that gives birth to every form of evil.
00:35:47.080
So that book came out and we went to San Francisco and then Seattle, Washington, and we were welcomed
00:35:57.180
And this is really bringing light to the culture war that we have been in for a while, that
00:36:04.140
many are just waking up to, that you've been telling us about for a while.
00:36:16.440
You got to admit, I mean, I wanted to hang out and go have a beer with that guy or something
00:36:25.420
Yeah, I always say, I don't always agree with the protesters, but if they're clever,
00:36:35.040
And, you know, I would like to just point out that while I don't high five the ideas
00:36:40.300
of the trans movement or a lot of the leftist movements, what we can do is we can say,
00:36:52.760
Here we are people who love the values of Western civilization.
00:37:03.360
And if you look at a small minority group of people and look at how they have been salt
00:37:07.780
and light, their version of salt and light in a culture to transform it, they're getting
00:37:13.400
out of their little huddles and they're, you know, not just staying in the gay bars, they're
00:37:18.640
going into public schools, libraries, education, business, tech, government, everything else.
00:37:26.500
Hey, folks, that's what we should have been doing for the last 50 years.
00:37:30.340
And because of our neglect, we now have a mess on our hands.
00:37:36.000
You know, by the way, that's the that's the tagline.
00:37:38.100
My friend, Dr. Taylor Marshall, uses that on his show.
00:37:40.420
He says, you know, Christ told us to be the salt and the light.
00:37:47.300
Go out there and be adding to life, adding to the culture.
00:37:52.000
And I think that's what you're I mean, we're both brave books, authors.
00:38:00.020
But what are you doing now to fight back against this this effort to really shut down not only
00:38:12.100
First, we had some grumpy librarians who didn't want us to come and talk about peace, love,
00:38:17.780
But now we have the ALA itself trying to block access for us as authors and families from
00:38:26.400
coming to their own public libraries to read any book of Christian virtue or any book at
00:38:32.080
This is the American Library Association, whose president is a self-avowed lesbian Marxist
00:38:39.320
and her director of the Office of Intellectual Freedom went on national virtual conference
00:38:45.760
and instructed librarians everywhere on how they can deny access to, quote, the Kirk Cameron
00:38:51.720
thing and how to invent programming so that the day's programming for the reading room is
00:38:58.100
all filled up on August 5th, the day of our national event.
00:39:06.220
government calling for an investigation because this is a organization that's getting public
00:39:11.180
grants from the government to instruct public libraries and parents are furious.
00:39:15.660
And the good news is, if I can use the Lord of the Rings metaphor, the message has gone
00:39:21.880
out to the Shire and all the hobbits are gathering for an unforgettable battle against the orcs.
00:39:28.180
On August 5th, it's called See You at the Library, where families are adopting their local
00:39:33.700
public libraries and reading a story of virtue to their children.
00:39:37.560
Go to bravebooks.com and sign up for See You at the Library and join hundreds of families
00:39:43.500
all across the nation in hundreds of libraries already signed up.
00:39:48.740
I mean, I look at this and we say the American Library Association, you would think, and people
00:39:54.640
remember the libraries from when we were kids, you know, you went there and look, I remember
00:39:59.140
going to libraries as one of the first places that I was able to discover really the joy of
00:40:05.420
reading, sure, but also the joy of learning, that walking through those aisles and you never
00:40:10.800
knowing what's coming around the next bend, that you can choose a book, it blew my mind having those
00:40:16.480
experiences. And now what we're doing is we're, when you walk into a library, the very first thing you
00:40:23.200
see, it's that table, right? And everybody knows that table. It's the same one that's in Barnes and
00:40:26.940
Noble, Books A Million has it sometimes too, but Books A Million, not as much as Barnes and Noble,
00:40:30.480
where it's gender, it's ideology, it's liberalism. And in the kids section, they've always got
00:40:36.280
these books and it's either written by an Obama or a Biden or, you know, one of these other groups
00:40:44.280
or Clinton, right? It's always the same people. And then you find these children's books where
00:40:49.120
it's talking about, oh, the story of Kamala Harris. It's like, what, really? We're going to do that for
00:40:54.000
kids all of a sudden? Like what, it's amazing. So Kurt, we've got a break coming up here. I'd love to hold
00:40:59.500
you over if we could, if you have a second, because I think there's so much more people need to
00:41:04.300
understand about the cultural fight that's going on in the United States and your own unique position
00:41:09.740
in having waged that war for so long. As Human Events continues, bombshell interview, we're fighting
00:41:15.380
back. When I grew up in the hood, I rolled with bloods and them boys had a saying. You can't be
00:41:23.800
listening to all that slappy whack, trim out as all it's a bam ship, nippy bam bam, like Human Events
00:41:29.640
with Jack Posobiec. All right, we're back here at Human Events. Kurt Cameron joins us. He's got the
00:41:36.820
event, the takeover. See you at the library event. It's a library takeover going on on August 5th. Now,
00:41:42.840
Kurt, do you know, we were talking a little bit during the break, do you know specifically where
00:41:46.160
you will personally be on August 5th, if that's something you're at liberty to discuss publicly?
00:41:51.920
Yeah, yeah, we're locking that in right now. But just to be clear, there will be hundreds and
00:41:56.920
hundreds of libraries simultaneously across the nation hosted by parents and grandparents
00:42:01.800
reading books of virtue for the See You at the Library event. And I think I'm going to be in
00:42:05.840
Tennessee. If you remember a couple months back, we had an event at a library in Tennessee
00:42:11.740
where the librarian was so disgruntled and disorderly, he tried to cancel the event at the
00:42:16.060
last minute and then was making so much noise, it was disrupting everything that the community and
00:42:20.800
the board got together along with the mayor and they actually fired him and replaced him with
00:42:26.100
somebody else. And then the mayor wrote us a letter and said, we would love to have you back.
00:42:30.540
We are all about the kind of values that you're promoting. And so please come back. We might go back
00:42:36.140
to that very same library in Nashville, Tennessee. So let me get a sense of this, because I don't
00:42:42.880
remember librarians being like this a generation ago. What do you think happened that made them so
00:42:48.680
politicized? What is it? You know, I think it's, it's, it's been a slow preparation and buildup for
00:42:56.540
the fulfillment of the times, which is right now. And I'm not talking about a revelation,
00:43:01.360
apocalyptic kind of thing. I'm saying that the groundwork had to be laid and now you are known
00:43:05.880
for, you are known for that. Yeah, that's right. But that's a much longer conversation. And I think
00:43:12.780
what we're seeing now is it's go time. And you've got the director of the American Library Association
00:43:18.320
or president, whatever her position is, who is an avowed and publicly openly lesbian Marxist. And if
00:43:24.220
you, we know about Marxism that is diametrically opposed to the idea of Western civilization and a
00:43:29.600
constitutional biblical Republic, like we have. And so that's trickling down everywhere. It's
00:43:36.540
shocking. You said something earlier, and it just made me think just to put, to frame the whole thing.
00:43:40.740
You talked about the magic of libraries when we were kids and we would go in there and
00:43:44.860
you should have been tipped off by the Dewey decimal system. I didn't know it, but John Dewey,
00:43:50.240
there you have a Marxist right there and he's organizing all the books. But even then we could go
00:43:56.940
around the corner and we didn't know we'd read a book and we would learn something that would blow
00:44:01.680
our minds. And now everyone, your kids go into the library, they turn the corner and they read a book
00:44:06.900
and learn how to blow something else with graphic detail laid out there on the pages for them.
00:44:12.960
So this is what has to be said. Apparently Barack Obama is wanting to defend and says,
00:44:18.500
these are the kinds of books that shaped his life as a young man, a community organizer. And as
00:44:25.580
a congressperson, and these are the ones that he wants to defend. So what do we say about this?
00:44:32.420
Other than this is the war, we are in it and we have to wake up. If not, we're sitting ducks who
00:44:38.920
don't see the wolves that are staring at us. And even if we do, are we going to know how to fight?
00:44:46.920
Are we going to know how to get away from the situation and get back to original first principles?
00:44:51.960
Because the goal, of course, is very obvious. They're targeting the children to be able to say
00:44:57.200
so that when the kids come home, they say, mom and dad, you're wrong. And what the priest,
00:45:02.440
what the pastor saying on Sunday, they're wrong. I learned in school, I learned in the library that
00:45:07.900
they're wrong. So the idea, and you see this, by the way, if you've studied communism, if you've
00:45:11.980
studied revolutionary movements, this is always what they do. They pit the kids against the
00:45:17.260
parents, against the status quo. They'll use whatever they have to say. They don't actually
00:45:21.340
care about the kids, right? The point is the disruption, the disruption that allows them
00:45:27.180
to attain power by destroying the original system.
00:45:30.100
Jack, you're so sharp. You're so smart. I'm so thankful for you and that you're giving this
00:45:34.200
information out to all of us and teaching us these things. You know, I was reading a little
00:45:38.540
bit from Mao Zedong's Little Red Book. And you go back and you, whether it's Mao or whether it's
00:45:44.880
Hitler or whoever, you understand that their whole goal is to do exactly what you said. In order to
00:45:51.220
reorganize society on a different foundational premise, you've got to disorganize the first
00:45:56.920
premise. You've got to deconstruct it. And that's what they're doing. And the easiest people to do
00:46:02.320
that with the most vulnerable, the most susceptible to deception are who do you kids? They believe the
00:46:08.300
moon is made of cheese and they can believe that America is based on white supremacy and all of these
00:46:13.820
things that are not true because they're kids. And also tells us the solution. One thing, if we did
00:46:19.960
one thing, we would just unplug the progressive machine, if every parent said, I'm no longer going
00:46:29.840
to pay to send my children to the government indoctrination camp called public school, the
00:46:36.320
public school has become the secular state's orthodox church, and they are brainwashing your
00:46:42.280
children. You're sacrificing their hearts and minds on the altar of wokeness. And you will not get them
00:46:49.640
back if you leave them there, barring a miracle. So take back your responsibility and stop outsourcing
00:46:59.520
That's exactly right. I mean, and kids these days, they're getting hit with it left and right,
00:47:03.920
whether it's on YouTube, whether it's on social media, whether it's in the schools,
00:47:07.660
whether it's in the libraries, you need to be taking an active role that is beyond just what
00:47:12.420
they're reading. You have to be an active parent. We can't have the latchkey generation. Again,
00:47:17.260
it doesn't work. Kurt, where can people go to get more information about this? Where can they join
00:47:22.840
the movement? And thank you, by the way, for leading this and leading this charge. Seriously,
00:47:26.460
thank you. Oh, it's my honor to do this and to talk with you, Jack. I have two takeaways.
00:47:32.440
They're both at Brave Books. Please go to Brave Books and sign up for See You at the Library.
00:47:38.140
We want hundreds of these libraries adopted by you. And then you read a book of your choice to your
00:47:43.400
children and the children in your life. Could be any book that you want. My book, Jack's book,
00:47:47.420
anybody's book. And then secondly, understand that Brave Books is the one that's putting this
00:47:52.380
whole movement on. And one thing you could do to support them is to join their Book of the Month
00:47:58.260
Club, which will be an investment in your kids' faith and morality, and send a new book to their
00:48:04.900
front door every month with a pro-God, pro-America value. Just go to bravebooks.com,
00:48:10.200
Book of the Month Club, and see you at the library.
00:48:13.400
See you at the library. I love it. Kirk Cameron, everybody. Thank you so much for your time,
00:48:17.640
sir. Thank you so much for your words, your effort, your work, your energy, everything that
00:48:21.180
you're doing, not only for yourself, but for the children and the next generation. That is what
00:48:27.200
it's all about, folks. I thank God for you, Jack. Have a great day. Take care, Kirk. Look, folks,
00:48:34.420
this is what it's all about. Go to Brave Books. I'm up there. By the way, full disclosure, right? Not only do I
00:48:39.680
