00:00:45.580
This is Human Events with your host, Jack Poso.
00:00:50.320
Name me a single objective we've ever set out to accomplish that we've failed on.
00:00:55.800
Georgia District Attorney Fannie Willis is ready for a speedy trial.
00:01:01.000
She's the DA prosecuting former President Donald Trump for efforts to overturn the state's 2020 election results.
00:01:07.380
She's aiming for a March 4th trial date of the former president and an early September arraignment coming right up.
00:01:16.940
And when I hit save, it went to the press queue.
00:01:21.940
When you poll people, a lot of people say we're in a recession.
00:01:26.840
I'm already thinking about ways for the state to acquire that land so that we can put it into workforce housing, to put it back into families.
00:01:33.680
We've got some possible developments that could mean no death penalty and no trial for five people in custody for their part in the 9-11 terror attacks.
00:01:42.880
The Biden administration, in regards to Title IX, they're rewriting it to where it's no longer preventing discrimination on the basis of sex.
00:01:49.920
It's preventing discrimination on the basis of gender identity.
00:01:52.780
From Apple, we found an issue with your show, the Glenn Beck Program, which must be resolved before it's available on Apple Podcasts.
00:01:59.380
Your show's been removed from Apple Podcasts from the Apple Podcasts team.
00:02:03.280
They sent us a link and said, for more details, go to the link.
00:02:08.260
And the link only says, your show has been removed from Apple Podcasts.
00:02:15.420
I know some really great ice cream places around here.
00:02:22.820
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events with Jack Posobiec, live from Washington, D.C.
00:02:36.920
The hunt is on because you can see the pressure coming from multiple angles all at once.
00:02:49.120
There's two types of people, two types of people.
00:02:53.100
They're the types of people that when pressure is applied, they push pressure back.
00:02:58.820
There's also the type of people that when pressure is applied, they fold.
00:03:17.180
MAGA must be the type of person that pushes back.
00:03:34.140
It's coming from these false, phony Soros prosecutors.
00:03:43.000
Joe Biden, using a pseudonym, it's now been revealed.
00:03:47.480
We must, in the House, pull forth every single aspect of Joe Biden's fake names,
00:03:54.740
how he was able to use these across the laptop.
00:03:57.520
I've instructed the team over at Human Events is going through the laptop right now.
00:04:03.020
We are going to pull it all up, Human Events, Post Millennial.
00:04:05.940
Make sure you're watching there for all the breaking news.
00:04:08.960
Then you've got number two, this piece out of Hawaii,
00:04:12.400
where pressure is being applied in a sideways manner
00:04:16.200
because we're now living through the collapse of complex systems.
00:04:26.020
Well, all the way back in 2015, the Hawaii legislature mandated
00:04:38.000
that Hawaii's electric grid be switched over to all renewable sources.
00:04:49.800
The first state in the entire nation, the entire electric grid was mandated
00:04:55.120
to be pushed over by the state legislature to green renewable energy.
00:05:00.120
And now we're finding that these fires may have been sparked in part
00:05:06.940
by faulty power lines in Hawaii while they were allocating all of the resources to go green.
00:05:14.200
Then down in Georgia, we're told, don't worry about that.
00:05:20.480
Look over here because down in Georgia, we've got the Rico case.
00:05:28.280
This is the man who, I wouldn't say that he's got a brain,
00:05:33.960
but I would say that he is the voice of the hive brain of the left.
00:05:40.640
He's got a piece over there in the New York Times.
00:05:47.180
He's sexually aroused, Norm Eisen, by this Rico indictment.
00:06:00.060
Because they're putting their political opponents in jail
00:06:02.840
and using it to distract from the entire country falling around all around them.
00:06:09.040
We're going to talk to Evita Duffy next from The Federalist,
00:06:11.980
who's been writing a ton about the distraction efforts of the left.
00:06:24.680
I rolled with bloods, and them boys had a saying.
00:06:30.640
You can't be listening to all that slappy whack, trim out his alitzabam ship, nippy bam bam,
00:06:45.240
And folks, there's a lot to be nervous out there.
00:06:47.760
Open social media, or you turn on the news, and you will see that crime is all around you,
00:06:55.440
and it's becoming this decay in our society, and terrible, terrible decay.
00:07:02.700
A lot of people just run out and buy a gun, and you want to be safe, but you need to practice
00:07:13.500
Unfortunately, it's time consuming to go to the range, assuming there's one even nearby,
00:07:18.400
and ammo prices for the brass through the roof.
00:07:22.300
iTarget was invented, so you could practice any time in the safety and convenience of your
00:07:27.700
Simply download the iTarget Pro app, load your caliber-specific laser bullet into your firearm,
00:07:33.800
Practice alone, compete with friends, or use it to safely train friends and family who are
00:07:39.480
Go to iTargetPro.com, and when you get 10% off at checkout with promo code POSO, this
00:07:45.520
is the smartest, safest way to train, which is why competitive shooters trust dry-firing
00:07:52.340
That's letter I, TargetPro.com, iTargetPro.com, promo code POSO.
00:07:56.980
Now, in the last segment, I explained exactly what's been going on out here.
00:08:05.580
The electric grid seems like it completely failed.
00:08:08.460
Now, we're seeing, and we're getting more information, that the Hawaiian electric grid,
00:08:14.920
the state-related enterprise that's supposed to run this, Hawaiian Electric, has been focused
00:08:20.380
all of their money, all of their resources allocated towards renewable energy.
00:08:27.840
Because the state legislature, the Democrats control it there, have been all in saying,
00:08:33.420
we have to go green, we have to be renewable, as opposed to actually investing in their infrastructure.
00:08:43.080
And now we're told that these faulty electric lines and the fact that they have not maintained
00:08:48.980
there, these backbrush, actually done wildfire management, wildlife management, or, you know,
00:08:57.780
foliage management, may have kicked off insane wildfire that's killed over 100 people already.
00:09:06.100
But we're not supposed to pay any attention to that.
00:09:09.180
Don't pay no attention to the government failing there.
00:09:11.520
Pay no attention to the government failing all over the country.
00:09:13.960
Because Joe Biden, Joe Biden and his buddies have indicted Donald Trump yet again.
00:09:20.220
And you've got, you've got, you've got Norm Eisen.
00:09:23.220
He's eyeing up, he's eyeing up Fannie Willis's booty of charges down there in Fulton County.
00:09:31.620
Look, he's saying, look at this big, big booty of charges down in Fulton County.
00:09:39.520
So I wanted to bring in here a writer from The Federalist who actually, I would say, broke
00:09:47.480
the story in terms of this tactic the Democrats are using for distraction.
00:09:51.460
And now, you know, they're, they're over on these other channels and they've got the wall
00:09:55.900
But folks, it's actually Evita Duffy over at The Federalist that first broke this playbook
00:10:02.980
Evita, I feel like every time I have you on, I ask you the same question.
00:10:06.420
What are the Democrats trying to distract us from now?
00:10:10.000
Well, the biggest thing right now is actually we're, we're in the anniversary of the, uh,
00:10:20.660
Yeah, it was one of the worst things to come out of the Biden administration.
00:10:23.160
And nobody's talking about it because we're all so preoccupied with the next Trump indictment,
00:10:30.360
I mean, he's being indicted for members of his team tweeting or sending personal emails
00:10:36.080
I mean, it's, it's, I mean, the charges are crazy, even crazier, I think, than the last
00:10:41.020
indictment, which is, which essentially criminalizing First Amendment protected speech.
00:10:46.860
I also think like the Maui fires are super interesting to talk about because if this was a climate related
00:10:52.320
issue, right, the, the, the left would be screaming about the Maui fires, Biden would be there right
00:10:57.880
now demanding more money for climate straight, climate change.
00:11:00.560
But now it's actually turning out to be potentially an infrastructure problem.
00:11:04.320
And nobody, nobody now cares about it on the left.
00:11:07.600
And this is really what they do all the time, right?
00:11:09.560
They distract us from real issues, um, and from problems that they've created, um, and, and,
00:11:17.740
And unfortunately the corporate media is on board a hundred percent of the time.
00:11:21.100
Nobody, except for outlets like you or the federalists, um, are actually talking about
00:11:24.980
what's going on and what the American people really care about.
00:11:27.800
Well, and Avita, I mean, look at this, this is, this isn't East Palestine, right?
00:11:34.180
Um, you know, it's, it's a place that, that voted for Joe Biden.
00:11:39.480
These are the guys that voted for their entire state legislature, voted for the entire electric
00:11:49.560
So that's, uh, in 20, I believe 2045 was the date they set it for, because it was back
00:11:55.040
And so you don't see this leading the nightly news though.
00:12:07.520
They don't seem like to, like they're talking about Maui at all.
00:12:11.240
And I hate to do that, you know, sort of double standard thing, but it's, it's, it's, it's
00:12:17.340
We know if Trump were in office, they would be showing this over and over, and then they
00:12:21.540
would be running some narrative of saying, oh, Trump refused to pay some Hawaii allocation.
00:12:31.380
But when it comes to Biden, they're not even talking about it at all.
00:12:34.880
No, and then, and then of course it's purposeful.
00:12:39.000
And like I said, the media is totally complicit with it.
00:12:41.160
I think the left and what has become so clear over the last few years is that they're anti-human,
00:12:48.920
They claim to be for the working man, for regular Americans.
00:12:52.380
And they're just not, I mean, there are, I don't know if you've heard of C40.
00:12:56.940
It's like this group of, of big time mayors around the world.
00:13:00.140
There are 14 American mayors who have committed by 20 to 2030 to ban meat, to ban dairy, to
00:13:07.940
administer only three articles of clothing per person per year, only one return flight
00:13:16.520
Crazy, crazy climate goals that these really globalist leaders have showing that they really
00:13:23.120
don't care about our quality of life with the Maui fires, especially.
00:13:26.680
I mean, there's a complete disregard for humanity and an overemphasis on really the people that
00:13:34.660
are, have a lot of influence and power in America, right?
00:13:37.740
So if we're talking about what matters to Americans right now, inflation is a huge deal.
00:13:44.000
People can't afford to buy a home if you're a young person like I am.
00:13:48.160
And, and instead we're completely preoccupied with Trump and with protecting Joe Biden and
00:13:58.000
You know, you mentioned that actually last week, and I wanted to follow up with you on
00:14:01.540
it because, you know, you about buying a new home, are you, is that something you're trying
00:14:05.840
Are you trying to, you guys are trying to get a home right now?
00:14:07.520
And I don't, not asking specifics, but what are some of the roadblocks that you're finding
00:14:20.660
And we, you know, we can't, we can't buy a home because the interest rates are so high.
00:14:25.700
And of course, the reason the interest rates are so high is because inflation is high and
00:14:29.460
inflation is high because of reckless Democrat spending.
00:14:31.700
And the American people, I think, especially, I think older generations know that.
00:14:36.700
I think it's a real problem with younger generations and a problem with messaging to them, right?
00:14:41.740
Because they see this issue and they think, okay, well, the answer is, you know, communism
00:14:46.980
and communal living and all these radical ideas.
00:14:50.920
And if Republicans were able to really message the young people and say, this is why this
00:15:00.080
They would make a lot more inroads with young voters.
00:15:03.960
I'm sure it has something to do with the consultant class.
00:15:10.980
So you're and it's true, by the way, because I'll tell you that just two decades or so
00:15:16.380
ago in the United States, it was so easy to be able to buy property, to buy land.
00:15:21.820
In fact, you could argue that it was actually too easy.
00:15:24.360
And this is one of the things that led to the financial crisis in the first place, because
00:15:27.900
so many of these loans, these home loans, these mortgages were being given out to people
00:15:35.060
That's why they were subprime mortgages in the first place.
00:15:37.560
And of course, you know, even but even the great movie, The Big Short gets this wrong
00:15:46.060
It was this idea that every person who wanted to have their own home should be able to have
00:15:51.160
one regardless of their financial status, regardless of their risk profile.
00:15:55.080
Like if you, for example, didn't have any income at all, then you were getting all these
00:16:00.140
And they would just pass it off to, they'd pass it off to one of the banks.
00:16:06.060
Another investment bank would get involved and the cycle would just keep going.
00:16:10.080
Eventually, government would come in and backstop it.
00:16:12.080
The whole thing blew up with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
00:16:14.760
And then instead of actually dealing with the problem, what did the government do?
00:16:19.780
Well, the government, the Fed just came in and said, here's what we're going to do.
00:16:22.420
We're going to use a process called quantitative easing.
00:16:27.220
The money printer got fired up and here's the problem that's now facing people like
00:16:36.200
That's why the interest rates are where they are.
00:16:41.600
And I had, I had this, we actually watched the big short a while ago with my husband and
00:16:45.260
he was just like, this is not, this is not what's actually happening.
00:16:48.140
It was such a funny story as we're dealing with it in, in, in real time.
00:16:52.200
And I think that that is really such an important thing to be messaging to people is the government
00:16:59.040
It's that classic Ronald Reagan line or the scariest, you know, nine words in the world
00:17:03.260
are, you know, I'm the government and I'm here to help.
00:17:05.260
And, and I, I really think that these are things that matter to the American people.
00:17:09.440
These are things that really impact someone's day-to-day life and Democrats are not caring
00:17:17.300
And I want to get into this piece that you wrote, uh, for the federalist.
00:17:21.080
When we come back, uh, true, a story from your own family, but a story that I think will
00:17:25.240
affect a lot of people, um, because we can see things like this going on in our own world,
00:17:32.640
in our own country today, unfortunately, um, some horrific tales from the Spanish civil
00:17:39.500
war, a war, which by the way, never taught anywhere in U S history.
00:17:44.040
If it's ever brought up, it's always from the, the, the side of quote unquote, the left.
00:17:50.120
But I think what people don't understand about the Spanish civil war is no, it wasn't just
00:17:55.960
It was literally the communist from me right back here with Evita Duffy.
00:17:59.400
She's going to give the truth, by the way, my favorite movie on the financial crisis margin
00:18:06.440
It actually gets into the government's role, which is something that the big short doesn't
00:18:27.340
These are influencers and, uh, they're friends of mine, Jack or so, like, where's Jack?
00:18:44.000
Mike Lindell on stage at the election summit there.
00:18:47.520
Springfield, Missouri promised I would bring this up.
00:18:52.360
What Mike is doing is he's taking a series of devices, handheld devices to essentially
00:19:00.560
distribute throughout the entire country so that anyone that wants to get plugged in
00:19:05.040
with his network is able to do so as a volunteer.
00:19:07.140
And these devices, it's an electronic device that you'll be able to actually take up.
00:19:13.300
You don't have to go in, but you can go outside polling places and you will be able to detect
00:19:18.260
whether or not voting machines are in fact connected to the internet or not.
00:19:25.000
Uh, this is something I don't have all the details on the technology, but I was briefed
00:19:28.880
It's an interesting, it's an interesting strategy because this is something similar
00:19:33.840
It's called war driving in terms of being able to look when the feds want to get into
00:19:38.140
your wifi, when the feds want to get into, uh, your communications, this exactly what they
00:19:43.460
would do because they're looking for those open signals.
00:19:46.620
Now, what this is doing, it's not hacking because all he's looking for to see, is there
00:19:51.880
information moving between those voting machines and the open internet?
00:19:56.680
And if there is, then you would know that they've been lying all along.
00:20:05.120
We'll be able to get to that as it breaks out, but that is the basic briefing on it,
00:20:10.900
So when I get back to Evita Duffy here, because Evita, this piece you wrote in the Federalist,
00:20:16.460
I read it word for word, uh, the other day when you had posted it, I sent it around to
00:20:21.080
a bunch of people and I actually had no idea that this was part of your, your family
00:20:28.880
You had, you had family members that lived through the Spanish civil war.
00:20:35.340
So, yeah, so the Spanish civil war, um, was, was fought between 1936 and 1939, but it was
00:20:41.780
really sparked, um, by the persecution of Catholics, um, in the lead up to the war.
00:20:48.120
So the, the government, the Republic, so they called it in Spain was run by, by communists,
00:20:53.420
by radical leftists, really influenced by Stalinism at the, during that time period.
00:20:57.500
And they started by, started off their persecution of Catholics by banning crucifixes in the classroom,
00:21:03.600
then banning Catholic schools, then saying that marriage, um, that was done in, with the
00:21:09.320
Catholic church was no longer valid in the eyes of the state.
00:21:11.800
Um, and then it really escalated to, to, to much greater, you know, heights.
00:21:17.200
They, they actually started to, to murder Catholic monks, uh, nuns, bishops, priests.
00:21:23.080
My family lived through the Spanish civil war and they were targets of communist aggression
00:21:29.980
They were upper class, middle class, but also they were Catholic writers.
00:21:33.880
Um, and my great grandfather was in prison during the war.
00:21:37.540
The men he was in prison with ended up being murdered by the communists.
00:21:40.820
They, they, they, my great, great grandparents were separated, um, for years until the war
00:21:45.800
And I have had an extended family member who was actually a priest who ended up, um, being
00:21:52.380
He was going to be shot in a firing squad, but they ended up grazing his arm.
00:21:57.260
And when they grazed his arm, he begged them to actually kill him.
00:22:00.800
And instead the executioners, um, buried him alive.
00:22:04.820
And there are so many stories like this, um, and that people have in other parts of the world
00:22:10.280
I mean, there was a similar persecution of religious people, um, in Soviet Russia.
00:22:13.920
And so it, to me, as somebody who has this family history and who was taught the communist
00:22:18.840
version in, in high school, uh, which was infuriating.
00:22:22.240
And I really bothered me that my classmates were only getting one side of the story.
00:22:25.800
Um, it really makes us content is a good way to contextualize what we're going through
00:22:30.060
right now, because we're seeing with the FBI, a very similar persecution of religious
00:22:38.920
And that should send up smoke signals to everyone that we, we need to have, um, need to be on
00:22:44.940
We need to be rebuking any kind of persecution of Catholics or discrimination, whether that
00:22:49.700
be, you know, at the Dodgers game, um, or with, with members appoint, uh, with members of
00:22:53.920
Congress, appointing, uh, people to the Supreme court or, or other higher, higher offices.
00:22:58.340
Um, we really need to be keeping this in check, um, and being aware of it.
00:23:02.120
Um, no, I was, I was proud to have actually been there at that Dodgers game of Vito, this,
00:23:07.320
this, uh, story that your family experienced and tell us a little bit, by the way, you
00:23:12.340
know, this side of the Spanish civil war that you're talking about, the Catholic side, the
00:23:18.700
national side, it's either one, by the way, um, is never brought up in us classrooms.
00:23:25.080
It's never just, it's not something that I learned about until I started reading books,
00:23:29.680
uh, much, much later in life, uh, way beyond high school, college, et cetera.
00:23:35.800
Um, mystery Grove, uh, publishing house has some good books on it, but how, what is the
00:23:41.220
narrative that we get told or that, you know, most Americans get told in, in high school about
00:23:48.300
So usually in, in history, we, we, we hear the side of, of, of the victor, right?
00:23:53.520
That's usually how it goes, but not with the Spanish civil war.
00:23:56.320
Um, and I think the reason is because a lot of Americans were actually involved in the
00:24:01.740
There was a lot of sort of communist intellectuals, artists, poets who left America to join, to
00:24:08.560
join the, the communists and fight on their side.
00:24:11.920
Um, but they brought those stories back to the United States and, and really dominated the
00:24:16.700
narrative around the Spanish civil war, um, in college and high school classrooms.
00:24:20.560
And, and, but, but this is also something that we see all the time, right?
00:24:25.620
It's almost every single aspect of American and global history where there is a, an, an
00:24:30.500
overemphasis on, uh, condemning right-wing governments, right?
00:24:34.740
And, and, you know, ignoring, um, or belittling the, the atrocities that were committed by communists,
00:24:45.400
To, to make sure that in the future we are desensitized to the, to similar communist and
00:24:55.680
And it's, it really is amazing because the level of atrocities that were committed by
00:25:01.180
the communists, not only was absolutely horrific, um, I, you know, I actually spoke about this,
00:25:07.860
uh, briefly at, at the LA Dodger prayer rally, um, when I, when I gave a speech, uh, prior
00:25:14.220
to it, along with Bishop Strickland and others.
00:25:19.320
It, nuns were raped on the altar in churches, uh, priests forced to watch.
00:25:27.560
Or as you mentioned, your family member ended up being buried, even though he wasn't dead.
00:25:32.380
Um, this, the sheer level of the horrors that is spoken of, uh, is, is never, you can't
00:25:39.100
find this in any, any Hollywood movie, by the way, that the same is true for any communist
00:25:44.120
Hollywood will not make movies of this, whether it's, uh, we've, we've focused on China a
00:25:48.420
lot here on the program, but you could talk about the Bolshevik revolution.
00:25:51.400
You could talk about, um, Spanish revolution, uh, the French revolution, which is sort of a
00:25:58.040
If you actually look at it that way, extremely, extremely anti-Catholic smashing the statues in
00:26:02.300
Notre Dame, converting all of Notre Dame into this, you know, temple to reason and
00:26:07.660
And again, priests killed, uh, nuns ravaged again and again over at Mexico many times.
00:26:12.540
But with the Spanish civil war, particularly, we, we never get told in these terms that,
00:26:22.920
And at the time, the international, so the com intern, which was the international communist
00:26:28.940
syndicate headed out of Moscow, because that's of course where the communists got their first
00:26:35.100
What people don't understand, Evita, is that when the communist revolution started in Spain,
00:26:41.100
it didn't start, uh, militarily from the ground up.
00:26:48.460
Walk us through how the communists were able to do that in Spain.
00:26:53.660
I mean, so, so they, they, they overthrew their monarch, um, and there was, there was sort
00:26:57.380
of a, a vacuum and they, they were able to sort of get, get, get their way in, in multiple
00:27:04.260
And they knew, and this is what's actually happening in the States, right?
00:27:06.700
They knew that if they wanted to create a communist state, the best way is not, you
00:27:10.680
know, collective, you know, community organizing and, and grassroots, you know, sort of action.
00:27:15.100
And it was really to take over, um, and the highest levels of government and to do it top
00:27:20.360
down, which we see reflected in, in our own country today.
00:27:23.860
And part of the problem when we talk about the way that this story and so many others
00:27:28.380
have been repurposed, um, to make the leftists look really good, um, in American education
00:27:34.360
is that we're, we're talking about now generations of, of misinformation really.
00:27:40.280
Cause I, when I, when I was in my class learning about this and pointed out, Hey, this isn't
00:27:46.380
I don't know why we're only learning about the supposed Republicans.
00:27:50.000
They weren't, they weren't interested in the Republic.
00:27:53.560
This was not, and, and so many people were, were, were hurt by this, including my own family.
00:27:58.780
And when I pointed that out to the teacher, she didn't know, she didn't know the other
00:28:04.220
Um, and so part, part of when we talk about how do we, how do we fix our education system?
00:28:10.640
We have to start with the teachers colleges, to be honest.
00:28:12.920
I mean, that's where a lot of the radicalization is happening.
00:28:15.220
And then it's trickling down, um, from, from the college level all the way down to now elementary
00:28:20.420
school with social emotional learning and other ways of injecting ideology, um, into, into
00:28:26.060
students who, who really, there can't be a free marketplace of ideas with, with, you know,
00:28:31.820
Um, and so it was very purposeful, um, and it's now very deep seated.
00:28:35.800
And we have to really look at the root cause of all of these things before, um, we can
00:28:40.400
say banning, you know, banning LGBTQ explicit books in high school, because it's so much
00:28:48.000
And I, I, I really appreciate you saying that because there's this sort of mentality on the
00:28:56.280
right, that if we unplug from the institutions and we just go run off and raise chickens,
00:29:02.140
um, that's not a Tim pool reference, um, that, uh, you know, everything will be fine and we
00:29:10.220
Because they, they, they indoctrinate teachers, they go to teaching schools, they go to journalism
00:29:15.600
schools, they go to law school, they become the judges, they become the ones who control
00:29:22.240
They become the teachers, they become the academics.
00:29:25.120
So the rest of us, we're out sitting there saying, okay, you know what, we can live with
00:29:31.880
And here's the thing folks with the internet, uh, and just like any, like any, uh, like any,
00:29:38.120
uh, any, any abusive person in a relationship, right?
00:29:49.100
Where can people go to read this incredible story and to follow you in your works?
00:29:56.700
You can find it in the latest section or just under my byline of Evita Duffy.
00:30:00.400
Um, and then my, my Twitter is Evita Duffy underscore one.
00:30:08.120
By the way, um, just, just straight up pitching you here.
00:30:11.200
I, it sounds like, you know, if you've got it in you, this, this would be easily turned
00:30:18.980
It sounds like there's a lot, lot more to just this one story.
00:30:23.040
And I think that people need to actually know the truth of the Spanish civil war, possibly
00:30:27.940
more so than others, because that may be the one that we are closest, uh, closely following
00:30:39.720
When we come back, we're going to talk about how we can fight back and how one target that
00:30:45.680
we've been focused on target itself has actually gone down.
00:30:49.480
hear about the boring people at your office and trying to listen to the new human events
00:31:01.460
All right, Jack Pazovic here back live, Washington, DC joined now by Michael Seifer, the CEO and
00:31:11.200
founder of public square, because, you know, we talk about public square all the time here
00:31:18.460
You know, you guys have been huge supporters of human events, and we're very grateful for
00:31:22.460
And we talk about the rise of the parallel economy.
00:31:24.820
We keep saying that if conservatives want to fight back, you know, don't go fight in the streets,
00:31:30.060
fight with your wallet, fight with your dollars, fight with your purchases.
00:31:40.880
Michael, tell us how Target is feeling about that right now.
00:31:44.720
I think that Target would be feeling quite a bit of introspective remorse, wondering how
00:31:54.700
It was our first quarterly earnings miss in over six years, sales down over 5% from this
00:32:01.940
We really need to look internally and renegotiate our contracts and relook at why we do what we
00:32:08.800
Brian Cornell, in fact, actually blamed the sales drop on the response to their pride
00:32:14.700
displays, not on the pride displays themselves.
00:32:17.340
In fact, he said that unequivocally they will continue to support pride and other, quote,
00:32:21.920
heritage moments into the future, and that it was actually the backlash to pride that
00:32:27.920
And he actually said that it was the violent threats against their workers that caused people
00:32:36.460
So he's completely missed it and is clearly not aware of this massive growing sentiment of frustration
00:32:42.440
in our country that people rightfully have against these corporate entities that have become
00:32:46.820
more like progressive political organizations rather than companies that are focused on providing
00:32:51.160
So when Target decided to indoctrinate kids about sexual topics with their products and tucking
00:32:57.620
underwear and the like, they should expect to receive a backlash that looks like an economic
00:33:04.280
And because they're unwilling to apologize and instead they're doubling down, I would expect
00:33:08.420
that those boycotts will continue for years to come.
00:33:11.820
So when these boycotts, and I got to tell you, by the way, and I said this before, you
00:33:16.500
know, the other day on the show here, my wife, Tanya, that she, you know, she's, she's like
00:33:22.100
watches the show, but she's not, she's not a political news junkie like me.
00:33:25.280
She's not like super involved in this stuff, but I got to tell you, there was something about
00:33:29.580
this Target one and the way that they went after kids that I offhandedly said something
00:33:36.060
to her the other day, I said, oh, like, oh, did you stop at Target?
00:33:40.420
And, and she goes, she turned to me in the car and goes, I'm boycotting Target.
00:33:47.300
I was like, wow, I've never seen her have that kind of emotional reaction the way she
00:33:54.420
So let me ask you, are you seeing that kind of effect on a wider scale when Target goes
00:34:01.800
and does something like this, are then people also taking the next step and tying it to action
00:34:16.000
When Bud Light did what they did back at the end of March, we, the next day saw an 800%
00:34:23.000
When Target did what it did in May in preparation for their Pride Month displays, we saw the largest
00:34:30.840
The more that these companies continue to abuse and honestly insult the values of tens of millions
00:34:37.980
of Americans that embrace common sense, those consumers are then flocking away from that
00:34:44.560
corrupted corporate American environment and toward a platform like ours.
00:34:49.940
And other companies similar that embrace the values that made our country so special in
00:34:53.960
the first place and would never dare try to indoctrinate their children.
00:34:57.540
The reality is for a long time, a lot of people were frustrated at this, but until they came
00:35:02.440
after the kids and until they started assaulting the basic truths of biology like gender, you
00:35:07.920
saw a lot of people sort of going along to get along.
00:35:10.980
These people, and by the way, many economists think that this cohort of Americans that are
00:35:14.440
frustrated by these acts of political progressive activism in the marketplace totals over
00:35:18.680
100 million people, that community is now saying, you crossed a line, we're done, and they're
00:35:24.160
putting their values behind their dollars, they're putting purpose behind their purchases,
00:35:30.040
and we're trying to help them in that endeavor.
00:35:33.900
Boycotts can be incredibly effective because consumers deserve choice around where they should
00:35:38.020
And you should not empower businesses that hate you with your dollars.
00:35:41.400
But that boycott is incomplete unless you can actually shift your dollars to something
00:35:46.600
more positive because that's the stuff that will have longevity.
00:35:49.900
When you can move your consumer purchasing power, you're actually going to shift the nation
00:35:53.700
and shift the power structures of society back toward the values of we the people.
00:35:56.820
And the last thing that I'll mention, Jack, is that between Anheuser-Busch, Disney, and
00:36:01.300
Target, between the months of March and June, those three companies saw a combined market
00:36:12.580
So we're really proud to see that consumers are mobilizing their dollars.
00:36:16.180
They're voting with their wallets, and they're pushing their consumer purchasing power, their
00:36:19.360
investment dollars, to brands that will embrace the values that their household can feel confident,
00:36:27.040
So it's an exciting time for the parallel economy because people are seeing the money actually
00:36:31.340
Look, and I've said for a while now that this also, Sound of Freedom is a great example
00:36:37.600
of this because you've got one movie that's just sort of, it's just become a, and I don't
00:36:43.740
even think that the producers, and I've talked to the producers and the director and some of
00:36:47.340
the, you know, Caviezel and the rest, none of them were even thinking of it in that perspective.
00:36:52.280
But if that movie had come out last year, if it had come out three years ago, four years
00:36:56.380
ago, it wouldn't have had the same impact as it did coming out this year on the 4th of
00:37:03.000
July, immediately after this month, Pride Month, where, and especially this year, where
00:37:07.700
so many huge brands went all in on it, where people are saying, look, we're checked out
00:37:12.200
of the big brands, we're checked out of big Hollywood, and then along comes a movie that
00:37:15.640
says, not only are we telling a story that you believe in, but we're doing it outside of
00:37:21.200
That's why you're seeing these massive rewards.
00:37:24.080
It's beaten, at the U.S. box office now, it's beaten Indiana Jones, it's beaten Mission
00:37:29.180
Impossible, I've got the list of Transformers, Creed, it's beaten Pixar, DreamWorks, go down
00:37:35.100
the list, Warner Brothers, DC, it's beating, like, I think Barbie is the only thing beating,
00:37:40.620
they've almost, yeah, they're just about $9 million behind John Wick right now.
00:37:45.540
They're almost beating John Wick, and they go international this weekend.
00:37:49.120
So, when you're talking about a primed market, do you really think, then, that there are
00:37:54.420
100 million people that are willing to say, you know what, and what percentage of that
00:37:58.020
100 million, then, I guess I should ask, is willing to then take the next step to say,
00:38:02.120
we don't want to go back to any of those brands, we want to focus on smaller brands?
00:38:06.640
Well, I would say that there was a 5W consumer report that came out two years ago that found
00:38:14.480
that 73% of Americans actively factor in the values a company espouses before shopping there.
00:38:21.320
And people don't necessarily look for brands that align with their political ideology,
00:38:26.160
It's about the principles that guide a company.
00:38:29.120
And unfortunately, we've seen that many of the major multinational companies in the United
00:38:32.220
States today have taken a principled approach away from the values held by over 100 million
00:38:38.760
And in the broader American economic landscape, Breitbart had a survey last year that found
00:38:44.620
that over 60% of Americans are fed up with progressive corporate activism.
00:38:49.880
So, you start to put these numbers together, and then you actually quantify that in dollars.
00:38:54.220
If you just take the people, Jack, that voted for Trump in the 2020 election that we know of,
00:38:59.220
that they're willing to admit, if you just take those people in 2020, over 30% of American
00:39:05.960
That means, if you put quantities behind that, $7 trillion.
00:39:09.680
$7 trillion of GDP is the third largest economy in the world by GDP.
00:39:14.380
So, this consumer cohort of even just the politically active in the United States that lean conservative
00:39:20.100
is the third largest country in the world by GDP, larger than Japan and India, and only
00:39:31.000
When you can create an economy for this group of unheard and antagonized Americans that are
00:39:36.380
fed up and ready to move their consumer purchasing power in a way that's quality, man, the sky's
00:39:42.480
The American economy will change fundamentally for the better, especially when the businesses
00:39:46.320
that we're trying to promote, and in our marketplace we have well over 65,000 business
00:39:52.400
When those businesses can prosper in a sea of globalism, we'll know we're doing our job
00:39:57.700
well, and I'm excited for the generational impact that'll ultimately have.
00:40:06.780
People want to get involved with Public Square.
00:40:08.560

00:41:02.240
And Jack, we're proud to support your show and stand with you as we build this.
00:41:07.180
And public SQ, they just literally went public themselves.
00:41:25.120
I'm always listening to Human Events with Jack Posobiec.
00:41:37.060
You must focus because there are two types of people.
00:41:42.300
The type of people in terms of how they respond to pressure.
00:41:47.560
There's the type of people who fold under pressure.
00:41:51.180
And there's the type of people who return the pressure.
00:42:03.320
Because there are people, there are people when the heat is on, when it gets turned up and they say, this is too much.
00:42:17.020
We got to go for a candidate that the left isn't going to fight.
00:42:20.680
We got to go for a candidate that they're not going to take down.
00:42:26.920
You want to go for a candidate who says he'll take on the deep state because the deep state isn't going after him now.
00:42:35.560
And that he's actually the biggest threat to the deep state because they're not currently going after him.
00:42:44.720
Because the logic break would be that wouldn't the candidate that's the biggest threat to the deep state be the one on which the deep state is most focused.
00:43:02.780
Of course, down in Fulton County, pressure bursts pipes.
00:43:07.260
But sometimes people press send instead of press and save.
00:43:26.040
They will keep him up there as long as possible on the ballot.
00:43:30.320
But what I also believe is that the goal is not getting him across the finish line.
00:43:52.500
Natalie Winters had a piece up earlier today, which comes out of reporting down in Florida.
00:44:01.880
That Ken Griffin, who was a major donor to the Never Back Down Super PAC, actually was able to get the legislation changed in Florida.
00:44:17.540
Regarding the banning of Chinese real estate purchases, that he was able to get loopholes and carve outs put into that bill, that bill that was signed with great fanfare.
00:44:37.560
To Ken Griffin, Florida's wealthiest man, the effort represented an ideological affront.
00:44:42.700
In its most extreme version, the proposed legislation would have essentially prohibited citizens of seven nations, including China and Venezuela, from buying property anywhere in South Florida, even though they had work permits.
00:44:56.260
Those limitations would have posed complications for Griffin's plan to relocate hundreds of employees to Miami, where he's planning to build a headquarters costing at least a billion dollars.
00:45:11.680
The Citadel founder assembled a network of influence to rework the proposed law.
00:45:21.700
It's just a fun word that we're going to put in for corruption.
00:45:26.260
The scope of the restrictions was then narrowed geographically for those with work permits.
