Jack Posobiec is back with a brand new episode of HAPPY BIRTHDAY WHO CARES! In this episode, he talks about the latest on the latest indictments of former Vice President Joe Biden's son and daughter-in-law, Jill Biden and her husband, Joe Biden, and why they deserve the same treatment as the rest of us. Plus, the box office numbers for the weekend are in, and it's a doozy.
00:01:13.900Not a single city, community or individual besides the looters really benefited from the BLM protests.
00:01:20.420They destroyed so many communities and so many livelihoods.
00:01:23.440Yet we're supposed to just embrace them for that.
00:01:25.780I don't want to see other agents, FBI, IRS, go through the same thing we went through.
00:01:31.120We need to have an independent attorney assigned who has authority, who can go in there, bring the proper charges so that there can be some faith restored in our justice system.
00:01:42.860Right now, the Justice Department is on a lot of pressure.
00:01:45.340I mean, the argument here essentially is that Joe Biden is using the Justice Department to keep his son out of jail.
00:01:52.600Government abuses every power that it's given.
00:01:55.260And if government suddenly has the capacity to censor its critics, it has a license for any atrocity.
00:02:02.180For Donald Trump himself, he got exactly what he wanted.
00:02:05.800What we do know is that indictments don't hurt him.
00:03:08.000Pretty much every other movie out there right now is opening internationally, is opening worldwide.
00:03:13.400So worldwide numbers on this thing, they haven't even come in yet.
00:03:16.880When we were at Bedminster last week, we spoke to Eduardo Verostegui right here on this program, and he told us that they're not even projecting to go international until August.
00:03:27.580So potentially a month away from seeing even bigger numbers drop in, and they're going to focus on Mexico and the Spanish-speaking world.
00:06:33.600Folks, I want to tell you about our partners over at Patriot Mobile because there are so many things going on.
00:06:42.080Look, every day we hear about another brand that's going woke, selling their customers out.
00:06:47.360Americans getting sick and tired of this leftist propaganda jammed into every product you consume.
00:06:52.940Woke mobile companies are no different.
00:06:54.340For years, they've been dumping millions into liberal causes, and we've had to take it on the chin because you need a cell phone, and you thought there maybe was no alternative for you.
00:07:04.660There's an alternative, and I want you to make the switch today.
00:07:07.140Patriot Mobile is America's only Christian conservative wireless provider offering dependable nationwide coverage on all three major networks.
00:07:13.900So you get the best possible service in your area minus the leftist propaganda.
00:07:18.120When you switch to Patriot Mobile, you are sending a message that you support free speech, religious freedom, the sanctity of life, the Second Amendment, and our military veterans and first responder heroes.
00:07:29.340Their 100% U.S.-based customer service team makes switching easy.
00:07:46.460I would like to welcome back to Human Events.
00:07:49.880First time back in a little bit since we've been going live, ladies and gentlemen, Gavin Wax, the chairman of the New York Young Republicans, who was also there last week with us in Bedminster at the Sound of Freedom.
00:08:01.300Gavin, how did you like that event last week?
00:08:29.540You could feel the sentiments from people watching this film and how it really touches people's hearts, how it really inflames the emotions.
00:08:35.860And we saw President Trump in the front row watching the entire thing from beginning to end.
00:09:00.180It's a shame that it took this long to hit movie theaters, especially since it's been a unifying type of film.
00:09:07.000It hasn't been really a partisan film.
00:09:09.300It's been a film that's been bringing the country together on what many should accept as a very reprehensible, disgusting facet of modern society, which is this human trafficking crisis coming through our porous southern border.
00:09:48.000And that they are starting to move into general election focus.
00:09:51.500Obviously, you're seeing you're seeing that this weekend because President Trump is announcing a rally up in Pennsylvania.
00:09:58.880Now, Pennsylvania is not an early state when it comes to the primaries, but it is an important state for it is probably one of the most important states for the general.
00:10:07.140That Rust Belt, Erie County area where he's going to be drawing in people potentially from Ohio, because it's right across the border.
00:10:13.360So, that being said, what is the next phase of the campaign for President Trump, if he's able, or at least in terms of how they're thinking based on your recollections and assessments,
00:10:25.560do you think they're prepared for everything, not just that Joe Biden and his team are going to throw at him, but the regime is going to throw at him?
00:10:34.900Well, listen, I agree with everything, how you laid it out.
00:10:37.360I think the primary is effectively over.
00:10:39.100I think on the DeSantis side, they've entered a kamikaze stage, just trying to take down as many people with them, and they're sinking poll numbers.
00:10:44.900And I think the Trump campaign is happy to, you know, take some funny dunks here or there.
00:10:48.820But effectively, effectively, as you said, this primary is over, and they are now repositioning themselves for the general, which I think is a great strategy.
00:10:56.580We've seen the polls, been pretty neck and neck.
00:10:58.680We've never seen a Trump poll like this in 16 or 2020.
00:11:01.980So, I think we have a historical basis to believe that his coalition going into 2024 will be his most robust to date, incumbent versus incumbent.
00:11:11.220We haven't seen this type of election since Grover Cleveland.
00:11:15.460I mean, this is a purple county in a purple state, and this is really the keystone, the keystone, if you will, to flipping the country back into the hands of Republicans at the presidential level.
00:11:26.700So, what I'm seeing is they are making that shift.
00:11:29.020They are beginning to reposition themselves.
00:11:30.940But, again, this is going to be a very unique election cycle.
00:11:34.800We're not just focused on the primary.
00:11:36.280We're not just focused on the general election.
00:11:37.800We're also focused on the concurrent fight with the deep state apparatus, with the regime, you know, the weaponized DOJ, where they're indicting him left, right, and center.
00:11:47.080I've yet to hear an argument why they would be doing that unless they were scared of him.
00:11:50.220But, you know, that's for another time.
00:11:51.760But, yes, the DOJ, all these politicized indictments, the weaponized judicial system coming after the president, I don't believe it's going to, you know, keep him off the ballot.
00:12:01.440But I certainly think it's going to be designed to drain his coffers, to drain his resources, and to drain his time.
00:12:07.480It's being used as a stunting mechanism to stunt the campaign, you know, before it can really even take off into the general election.
00:12:14.780I don't think it's worked like they would have intended from a PR perspective.
00:12:18.960I mean, I think the donor class, the super PACs, you know, the people backing DeSantis really convinced themselves that these indictments would have had an impact of, you know, sinking his approval rating, sinking his poll numbers in the primary and the general.
00:12:33.020It actually hasn't hurt him from a polling perspective.
00:12:35.600If anything, it's strengthened him, certainly within the Republican Party, as a martyr.
00:12:39.500But what I think it's really now being designed to do, I think their secondary task, is to drain much-needed resources from this campaign.
00:12:46.780And I think that's really the fight that we're in.
00:12:49.420I have the full confidence in the campaign to be able to tackle this, to be able to fight back against it.
00:12:53.760I mean, this has been a very lean operation, the Trump campaign so far.
00:12:57.140It's a lean, effective operation where they've just hit the ground running, gone against these well-funded opponents, not just Ron DeSantis, but also the Tim Scots of the world and whoever.
00:13:06.800And they've just been able to crush them with sort of a skeleton crew, a very effective, competent skeleton crew.
00:13:11.680You haven't seen any unforced errors in the primary or even as far as the general election posturing.
00:13:17.520So this leaves a lot of room to be optimistic.
00:13:19.940And again, if we look at the historical analysis to bring up the polls, it goes to show that he's going into 2024 in the strongest position he's ever been going into one of his elections.
00:13:28.840And I think, you know, the only variable here that's a little novel, that's new, are these indictments.
00:13:35.140But I think overall, the impact on the general election will be negligible outside of the drain of the resources and money and funds from the Trump campaign.
00:13:42.900Well, that being said, it's going to be more than just funds because, and I'm just going to say it, that in the same way that they went after Steve Bannon in Washington, D.C., they've gone after Stone and Flynn and Pappadova.
00:13:58.760OK, everybody knows the list at this point.
00:14:00.060If they're able to get Donald Trump in a courtroom in Washington, D.C. over this January 6th or one of these other things, I don't think there is any chance that a D.C. jury acquits Donald Trump of anything.
00:14:15.640They could they could charge him a jaywalking.
00:14:17.140They could charge him with, you know, shooting somebody without evidence.
00:14:20.140They would find him guilty in Washington, D.C. because there's so much palpable Trump hatred there.
00:14:25.160So is he prepared? And to your point, I don't think they'll be able to get him off the ballot that might go to the Supreme Court.
00:14:31.500What should conservatives be prepared for, though, if Trump is actually convicted in any of these cases?
00:14:39.700No, listen, I absolutely agree with you.
00:14:41.520I mean, legally speaking, it's definitely going to be tough.
00:14:45.760I think, you know, delaying action here is really the name of the game, you know, pushing these trials back, pushing, you know, all of these matters back as far as possible to make sure that he's won the primary.
00:14:56.680He's on the ballot for the general election and fighting many of the separate measures that could be happening through rules changes, through bylaw changes, through fights at the conventions.
00:15:06.900Anything that the establishment can sort of dig up to tie his candidacy and tie his ability to be on the ballot to the status of these cases.
00:15:15.160I think those are something that we can't let fall by the wayside.
00:15:18.540But listen, I think right now we need to get him into the White House.
00:16:44.080I'm sure they have a lot more up their sleeve, not just for the legal cases, but also for things that could come down to, you know, manipulating results in terms of how they're going to have the voter laws structured.
00:16:53.420You know what they're going to do to reform or not reform, rather, some of the systems in place going into 2024.
00:16:59.520I mean, this is going to be the battle, this, like, boss battle, if you will, for the heart and soul of our republic.
00:17:05.680And they're going to pull out all the stops this cycle to ensure that they can try to defeat Trump and his new coalition.
00:17:12.180And I think it's going to come down to the wire.
00:17:15.480We have to stay on top of all these different issues and how they're all, you know, interconnected.
00:17:19.500And going forward, that's just going to be the name of the game for Republicans.
00:17:22.920And, again, if you simply think, if you're someone on the sidelines who doesn't like Trump and you think it's going to end with Trump, I mean, you're deluded.
00:17:29.700I mean, this is a trial run, if you will.
00:17:32.000This is something that they are testing to see if they can set a precedent, if they can set a game plan going forward to knock out anyone who will be a threat to the system at large.
00:17:40.780And if they succeed with Trump, you know, it's going to put us in a really, really tough place as a nation if we weren't already there.
00:17:47.980So we can't allow them to set that kind of horrible precedent with these cases, with whatever they're doing in the courts and in the state legislatures.
00:17:56.380Kevin, we're coming up on a break, but I want to hold you on that because I think that's exactly right.
00:18:00.600Because people need to understand if the Department of Justice is able to decide who is allowed to run for office in the United States,
00:18:08.560if they decide that they can do this to any candidate, any future leader, then that means that every other future leader will not be one who is a threat to the police state in this country.
00:18:20.960Stay tuned. Coming up next with more from Gavin Wax.
00:18:24.940I encourage people to, if you're interested in foreign policy, you've got to follow Jack Sovick.
00:18:29.840All right, folks, I want to tell you about a new sponsor here at Human Events, Fume.
00:18:38.820Fume is an innovative award-nominated essential oils infuser.
00:18:43.940There's no electronics. Fume is completely natural. There's no use of vapor.
00:18:48.780Fume uses essential oil-flavored air, and there's no harmful chemicals.
00:29:24.680We're going to be at Cipriani Wall Street, which is the largest and, frankly, I think most prestigious venue in the city of New York.
00:29:31.540We're going to have a great lineup of speakers.
00:29:33.040You're going to be returning as an honored guest, along with the greats like Steve Bannon and many others that are soon to be announced.
00:29:38.880So we're looking forward to a great event to send off the new year and hopefully celebrate a primary that will be wrapping up very soon and a general election that we will be securing with great gusto, which I fully expect to happen.
00:29:54.380So if you're interested, NYYRC's 111th annual gala, December 9th in New York City, in the belly of the beast, wear your finest and come and show support and rub shoulders with all the right wing's biggest villains and antiheroes.
00:31:01.760Jack Posobiec, we're going to work on getting Raheem Kassam.
00:31:03.620Breaking news out of the Obama's Martha's Vineyard compound, a 911 call.
00:31:14.280So I'll just give you the news as it is.
00:31:16.340This is obviously a breaking situation.
00:31:18.660So stay tuned for any potential updates in this.
00:31:22.780A paddleboarder, black male, 43, missing in Martha's Vineyard, paddling outside the Edgartown Great Pond.
00:31:34.000A 911 call was made from the Obama compound, Martha's Vineyard, late last night while they were looking for this individual who I do not believe has yet to be named.
00:31:52.400His paddleboard and hat were recovered on Sunday, about 100 feet away from the shore earlier this morning.
00:32:04.240The dispatch address for the incident came from Obama's Martha's Vineyard Waterfront home, and it is unclear if the former president, 61, is currently staying at the estate.
00:32:16.620A massive response force from local law enforcement, from the Coast Guard, from others, went in multiple agencies.
00:32:25.460I imagine Secret Service would have been involved in this to some extent as well because, of course, we are talking about a former president.
00:32:31.180Some of the information that came out to us, the investigation into what they are now calling a fatality, was being conducted and is being conducted by the Massachusetts State Police Detective Unit for the Cape and Islands District and Edgartown Police.
00:32:45.780The U.S. Coast Guard, the Edgartown Fire, Air Wing Detectives, Dukes County Sheriff's Department were all part of the rescue mission.
00:32:52.820So it does say now that a body was discovered early this morning, mid-morning, around 10 a.m.
00:33:24.080Was this someone who was staying for the summer with Barack Obama and the Obama family?
00:33:29.520Was it a friend or potentially was it someone who could have been involved either in politics or one of the campaigns or just a completely separate other family friend of the Obamas?
00:33:46.160But obviously anything going on with this Obama's Martha's Vineyard situation is going to get high scrutiny.
00:33:55.680It does seem that there has been a fatality at Barack Obama's home there, the compound in Martha's Vineyard.
00:34:04.900The Obama Foundation has yet to release a comment yet.
00:34:09.440So we're going to stay tuned with this as it develops here, human events.
00:34:13.120I'm told that we do have Raheem Kassam on.
00:34:21.700No, guys, I'm not hearing Raheem there.
00:34:23.180All right, so now we're going to continue on with this because, folks, here's the situation that we're looking at.
00:34:30.440We're going to work on getting Raheem, but there were some articles that came out over the weekend.
00:34:34.480I was going to ask Raheem about this when he was on, particularly describing the mood within the DeSantis camp, the mood within the DeSantis campaign.
00:34:43.900So we've heard multiple times about reboots.
00:34:47.040We've heard multiple times now about the potential for rebranding, restructuring.
00:34:51.180There was a speech, a series, really, of events and speeches that were given last week and held last week about rebooting.
00:34:58.200But at the same time, we have yet to see, we've yet to see any response in the polls off of this.
00:35:06.600We had Vivek Ramaswamy here on this show on Friday.
00:35:19.380You know, I didn't say, you know, who are the top five worst, you know, members of the CCP or something like that.
00:35:24.940No, I'm not trying to do the gotcha thing.
00:35:26.520But we asked him serious questions about his position on vaccines, his position on red flag laws, his position on legal immigration, not just illegal immigration, but also legal immigration.
00:35:37.120Because I've said before that in the new right, the two defining issues of the new right are trade and immigration, trade and immigration.
00:35:49.380And whether you listen to Michael Savage in the past, border language culture, whether you listen to Rush Limbaugh, who was, of course, the Institute of Democracy, the EIB, this is the intellectual bedrock of the new right, as well as Andrew Breitbart.
00:36:06.220But when it comes down to an issues-based focus, those are the two issues at the core of the movement.
00:36:13.160And I believe, and I said this at CPAC with David Marcus, I said it at AmericaFest, these are the two main issues that are the bedrock of what makes the MAGA movement and the new right separate from your old school Republican politics.
00:36:29.860And your old school Republican politics is basically this.
00:36:42.520And this was a difference between, I believe, where Trump came in using his clout, his social renown, his celebrity status, his business status, to be able to come forward and then also state that he wasn't going to talk about specifically ideological issues, that he was going to come in and talk about practical issues.
00:37:03.780So things like tax rates, while they're important, they weren't necessarily the centerpiece of the MAGA movement.
00:37:15.960And they certainly weren't the centerpiece of Trump 2016.
00:37:18.240And that's why you're starting now to see a Trump 2024 campaign that's built along the lines of that 2016 campaign, but in full.
00:37:52.620And so if you're going to brand your entire campaign as I'm against wokeness, it's good, but it's not good enough because there aren't enough players involved because they've found what it is to be different.
00:38:11.160They've found a politician and they've seen a politician hold that practical difference and hold that leadership differently than all other political career politician creatures that came before.
00:38:28.200When President Trump came in, he talked about what he talked about the price of gas and he tied it directly to geopolitics.
00:38:34.120That's something that we're seeing right now in the middle of this summer, as gas prices are currently going up, as gas prices are currently going up, this is an issue.
00:38:55.260My interview with Breitbart dropped over the weekend, and I'm going to repeat it again here.
00:39:01.140I believe that the DeSantis campaign fundamentally misread the Republican electorate.
00:39:11.400They thought that the Republican electorate would be more interested in a candidate that was more ideologically driven like previous politicians, like a Ted Cruz, like maybe a Rick Santorum.
00:39:26.440Full disclosure, I used to work for Rick Santorum, my first job, first boss in politics, years and years ago, almost 16 years ago now.
00:40:16.040Now, we know that immigration is a function of war and foreign policy because obviously the last time that Europe and many of the United States were forced to take in so many migrants was because of the Syrian crisis.
00:40:28.820But it turned out they weren't even Syrians that were coming across the border.
00:40:31.820These were people that were just trying to come in across the border on economic migration, the same way they do across the southern border.
00:40:38.520The same people that Barack Obama took away the DNA requirements because they called it family separation before.
00:40:44.660No, there were DNA requirements to make sure that these weren't trafficked children.
00:40:50.000But when I tie to it, because trade directly defines your relationship with other countries.
00:40:56.280And for the longest time, the United States and the West pushed this one world government vision of the World Trade Organization, the IMF, and Ukraine was going to be sucked into that.
00:41:09.000And everybody was going to be part of it.
00:41:10.280And we were all going to live together under the one world government.
00:41:21.080Now, speaking of when we were talking about the fact that America is now in a state of collapse, I do think that that is a fundamental misread that many Republican strategists have been making over the time frame where people are saying,
00:41:49.640Oh, well, they want someone who's more ideologically driven.
00:41:52.520They want someone who's focused on conservative ideology.
00:41:55.420They want someone who perhaps is more of a history in government.
00:41:58.760But at the same time, you have to understand America is in a state of collapse, a fundamental state of collapse.
00:42:08.340This is why when you look out on the street, there's anger.
00:42:11.400There's just more anger in everyday life, whether you're going out for fast food, whether you're in a drive-thru line, whether you're driving around, road rage incidents are completely up.
00:42:25.060Policing, by the way, is down, which is a function of the racial reckoning of George Floyd.
00:42:40.040We've got to get, hey, producer Fos, we've got to get, we've got to get Savannah Hernandez on this, this week to talk about air travel because she couldn't even get out of the state of Florida over the week.
00:42:54.660Stuck in Florida, bouncing between Miami and Orlando and everything else.
00:42:58.040All of this is occurring while America's military and America's foreign policy are so completely overextended that we're, we're now far more worried about what's going on in the Donbass region.
00:43:16.180What's happening in the Suvalki Gap, what's happening in, you know, the, the Sea of Azov, what's happening in, on the Danube River, which, which was bombed last night by, by Russian forces.
00:43:30.260We don't focus on what's important to American citizens, what's important here at home.
00:43:37.200Because we've put so many interests ahead of those of Americans.
00:43:43.480And this is why in places like the Rust Belt, in places like Appalachia, in places like the Midwest, the South, you've seen the United States completely gutted out.
00:43:59.740What you do is you say, well, if NATO equipment is being sent to Ukraine to fight on behalf of the Ukrainian army, essentially operating as a proxy force for NATO against Russia.
00:44:15.620That equipment is destroyed, tanks, bombs, munitions, artillery, as President Biden mentioned to us last week.
00:44:26.820The question then becomes, how is it replenished?
00:44:33.100Now, in the parlance of the neocons, they'll say, oh, well, we're degrading Russia, we're degrading Russia, we're taking down, you know, our relative gain, our relative standing is going up because we're degrading the Russian military.
00:44:47.280And as the Washington Post said over the weekend, all it costs is a few Ukrainian lives.
00:45:09.500We decided that we were going to drop our comparative labor for the comparative labor advantage of the slave labor of China.
00:45:20.000And in the China files, we broke all this down.
00:45:22.220So we went for the slave labor of China over American workers that directly affected America's not only capacity to build this equipment for the future, but it also affects America's capacity to retain wealth and maintain wealth here at home.
00:45:43.480And you look at the crisis that we're in, the crisis of the millennium, the millennium crisis.
00:45:52.860Whether you want to say it started all the way back on 9-11 or whether it started during the financial crisis, 07-08, and the way we respond to that with massive reinvestment money printing at the Fed.
00:46:09.080Quantitative easing, quantitative easing, at the end of the end of the day, the dollar is only going to stretch so far because it floats artificially.
00:46:21.420It is not tied to anything like the gold standard.
00:46:25.840And I don't think BRICS is necessarily going to be a threat to the dollar directly.
00:46:30.340But the system is the problem right now.
00:46:34.740This is why we're seeing the polarization in the country.
00:46:37.200This is why we're seeing jobs and basic issues of stability collapse around the country.
00:46:44.660Whether you're left or right, there is an understanding that something is wrong with the system.
00:46:53.680And then the question is, which side is going to right the wrongs?
00:46:59.200Which side is going to establish a new American republic?
00:47:05.500And that is why it is incumbent upon us to find a leader and find leaders, plural, that understand what is going on, that understand that this establishment cannot continue in the United States because they are corrupt.
00:48:10.180And what they're trying to do with these indictments on President Trump is lay down a gauntlet, not just for him, but for any Republican president.
00:48:20.100Or any, I'll just say any president, independent, et cetera, other that wants to come up and has ideas that are outside of the mainstream ideas that threaten the status quo challenge us.
00:48:37.220So every potential future candidate anywhere in the country is now faced with this issue of the police state, the establishment, the national security agencies, the permanent state, as the late great Angelo Cotevilla once said.
00:48:54.180If you do not fix this, if you do not wage direct political war against them, they will be in power for the next generation.
00:49:04.300And they will remake the next American Republic.
00:49:10.360So the question is, who's going to win?
00:49:13.220Which side wins the battle for the future?
00:49:16.560Ladies and gentlemen, as always, you have my permission to lay ashore.
