00:00:30.000 We are in a fifth generational conflict.

00:00:40.500 For every lie they tell, we're going to get in their face and yell two truths.

00:00:45.900 This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.

00:00:48.840 Deliver us from evil.

00:00:50.560 Donald Trump is out, announcing he will not participate in the first Republican debate on Wednesday,

00:00:56.280 writing, the public knows who I am and what a successful presidency I had.

00:01:01.000 I will therefore not be doing the debates.

00:01:03.520 He's going to counter-program it with his little Tucker Carlson video. 0.94

00:01:07.780 He's going to get himself arrested the next day and be a big martyr and a crybaby.

00:01:11.520 And just, you know, we'll talk about the debate for probably 15 seconds before he goes and, 0.85

00:01:15.100 you know, steals the show again.

00:01:17.120 The cult of Trumpism is now verbal.

00:01:19.820 He's in our minds.

00:01:20.880 He's in our bloodstream.

00:01:21.880 It is a sickness.

00:01:23.480 It's a disease that America is carrying. 0.67

00:01:25.920 Wow. 0.81

00:01:26.220 Trump-itis.

00:01:26.920 There is that.

00:01:27.980 This operation is massive, involving the most people, multiple states, as well as numerous

00:01:32.920 aides, lawyers, and local officials.

00:01:34.760 It is a case filled with irony, but also fear.

00:01:38.000 And perhaps for the first time, that fear belongs to one Donald J. Trump.

00:01:42.560 Well, I'm going to Georgia and I'm feeling very, very good about it because I feel like

00:01:47.520 I'm defending the rights of all Americans, as I did so many times as a United States attorney.

00:01:53.260 People like to say I'm different.

00:01:55.780 I'm the same Rudy Giuliani that took down the mafia.

00:01:58.560 Our BRICS leaders have pledged to reform the international order to create more development

00:02:03.700 opportunities for poorer countries.

00:02:05.780 Are Chinese President Xi Jinping the most vocal on what he sees as an unfair global system

00:02:11.680 dominated by the West?

00:02:13.880 It's about 60 schools in the U.S. have a vaccine mandate for their students.

00:02:19.000 Rutgers requires students to get a vaccine exemption if they don't want to get a COVID vaccine.

00:02:24.740 Rutgers said people have an option to disenroll if they don't want to get the COVID vaccine.

00:02:30.000 The White House plans to renew its calls next month for Americans to get their COVID booster

00:02:34.400 shots this fall.

00:02:35.780 It comes as the CDC reports a spike in infections driven by the Aresa variant.

00:02:42.040 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily, live from Washington,

00:02:46.800 D.C.

00:02:47.160 Today is August 23rd, 2023.

00:02:49.580 I'm going to throw now to video directly outside of Moscow, where an aircraft reportedly

00:02:55.980 belonging to Prigozhin, the leader of the Wagner group, has been, well, let's just say taken

00:03:03.020 out of the sky.

00:03:04.040 Let's play the video.

00:03:05.780 Let's play the video.

00:03:36.420 Ты посмотри, падает.

00:03:43.540 Блядь.

00:03:44.300 he is

00:04:14.300 Where is this?

00:04:22.280 I don't see anything.

00:04:24.600 There.

00:04:26.540 Around the farm.

00:04:28.260 We're burning.

00:04:36.140 I don't know.

00:04:37.340 There's no farm there.

00:04:37.980 There's no farm there.

00:04:38.120 All right, for our podcast listeners, what you're watching there is footage from from

00:04:46.740 just outside Moscow, a field in a rural area after the plane had taken off.

00:04:52.660 We were told there were two planes, one carrying the Wagner leader, another carrying other

00:04:58.900 members of the group, one downed the other one, returned back to Moscow.

00:05:03.360 And so supposedly the one that was taken down, the one that went down, because we should

00:05:08.740 be careful about that, I suppose, did carry the leader of Wagner and other Wagner officials.

00:05:15.080 Now, people say, well, could this be just an accident?

00:05:18.180 Could have this just been a mechanical fare?

00:05:20.240 Let me tell you something.

00:05:21.360 When you're in the part of the world like that, when you're embroiled in a war, when a coup

00:05:26.040 attempt has just been launched exactly two months ago to the day, to the day, the Crimean

00:05:33.280 bridge attack, the drone strikes in Moscow that we've been seeing.

00:05:36.580 Now, our very first thought should be that this plane was taken down.

00:05:41.840 Now, the questions abound.

00:05:43.260 Was this Putin?

00:05:44.740 Could there have been a bomb on board?

00:05:46.780 Could it have been a drone?

00:05:49.300 Could this have been Ukraine?

00:05:50.380 Could this have been Western intelligence agencies?

00:05:54.400 This all remains to be seen because we are going to look at this data in full when we

00:06:00.140 try to answer the question of who killed Yvigny Prigozhin, if in fact he was on board that

00:06:06.820 plane.

00:06:07.280 But we're not going to lose sight of the signal here.

00:06:10.680 We're not going to lose sight of the signal because we're also going to focus like a directed

00:06:15.100 energy weapon at Hawaii.

00:06:17.820 Stay tuned.

00:06:18.280 Be right back.

00:06:20.380 All right, Jack Posobiec back here live, Washington, D.C., human events, and I have a question

00:06:41.000 for you.

00:06:42.000 Are you tired of progressive corporations and exhausted trying to keep with all the virtue

00:06:47.340 signaling when you're just trying to go to the store?

00:06:49.540 Progressive corporate America continues to push messaging that further alienates conservative

00:06:54.720 Americans, all while eroding the future of the American dream that is prominent all 0.98

00:06:59.220 over the country.

00:07:00.220 Companies like Starbucks strongwarming their customers to support abortion.

00:07:03.360 Financial services like PayPal canceling customers for their political views.

00:07:07.380 Makeup companies like Maybelline making a mockery of women by supporting trans models. 0.98

00:07:12.820 And companies like Disney forcing gender ideology on you.

00:07:16.120 All you want to do is take your kid to a movie.

00:07:18.380 Thankfully, we do not have to fund these companies any longer with our hard-earned dollars.

00:08:16.660 Now, I want to move back because I said we would focus on Hawaii, and there's a new report

00:08:22.140 out of the Associated Press today that is so absolutely horrific that I'm just going to

00:08:27.240 read it.

00:08:27.480 I'm just going to read excerpts from it to you.

00:08:30.140 In deadly Maui fires, many had no warning and no way out.

00:08:36.140 Only those who dodged barricades survived.

00:08:41.060 What do you mean, dodge barricades?

00:08:42.360 What does that mean?

00:08:43.680 As flames tore through a West Maui neighborhood, car after car of fleeing residents headed for

00:08:49.060 the only paved road out of town in a desperate race for safety.

00:08:52.720 And car after car was turned back toward the rapidly spreading wildfire by a barricade blocking

00:09:00.580 access to Highway 30, the only road out of Lahaina.

00:09:04.440 One family swerved around the barricade and was safe in a nearby town 48 minutes later.

00:09:10.360 Another drove their four-wheel drive car down a dirt road to escape.

00:09:14.020 One man took a dirt road uphill climbing above the fire and watching as Lahaina burned.

00:09:19.340 He later picked his way through the flames, smoke, and rubble to pull survivors to safety.

00:09:26.500 One neighborhood near Lahaina Luna Road was filled with kids who were home alone with flames

00:09:31.840 hit, one survivor said.

00:09:33.980 We needed 10 more minutes and we could have saved a lot of kids, he said, choking back tears,

00:09:38.620 if we had just had a 10 or 15 minute warning.

00:09:43.060 Remember, the sirens were never turned on.

00:09:44.740 The family ventured out to a Cahooley mall recently looking for a moment of normalcy in

00:09:51.800 the aftermath of the tragedy.

00:09:53.140 They ran into a playmate of their son and he said, the kids just don't have a filter.

00:09:58.100 So the son ran up and he was just telling our son, you know, this kid is dead, this kid

00:10:02.640 is dead.

00:10:03.160 And it's like all my son's friends that they come to our house every day and their parents

00:10:08.460 were at work and they were sent home alone and nobody had a warning.

00:10:12.560 Nobody, nobody, nobody knew.

00:10:15.780 It's from the Associated Press.

00:10:18.140 Today, August 23rd, 2023.

00:10:22.440 Anno Domini reported from

00:10:24.700 from Lahaina Hawaii, Maui.

00:10:29.000 I want to bring on now Ashley St. Clair from the Babylon Bee.

00:10:33.580 She's also a great writer, a children's book author in her own right.

00:10:36.440 And Ashley, you were in Hawaii, though not on Maui, right around the time of this.

00:10:42.080 Walk me through what some of the what you were hearing on the ground and some of the other

00:10:45.860 reporting that you've been putting through since this horrific tragedy began.

00:10:51.460 Jack, first, I just want to say listening to that report is very difficult.

00:10:55.720 It's heartbreaking to hear what's actually happening and to hear just how deadly this

00:11:01.240 incompetence from the leadership was.

00:11:03.100 And that really is the feeling of many people in Hawaii.

00:11:06.000 Many people online are saying that, you know, there should have been these warnings.

00:11:10.200 They're not telling us the full truth.

00:11:11.960 You had reports saying, hey, we're seeing way more dead bodies out here than is being

00:11:17.020 reported.

00:11:17.640 We had these reports on TikTok.

00:11:19.060 The people of Hawaii were obviously they have so many questions still about what's going on.

00:11:23.440 And even as you read this report, right, I have questions about these barricades.

00:11:27.360 Were these barricades put up because of the fire?

00:11:29.540 How were they putting up barricades and not sending out sirens, not sending out warnings,

00:11:33.960 not maybe getting water to the people quickly enough?

00:11:36.560 It's terribly heartbreaking how deadly this incompetence has been in Hawaii and in Maui.

00:11:43.640 You know, Ashley, and talk about a little bit about where you were, because, you know,

00:11:48.240 I've never been to Maui, I have been to Oahu, and I was stationed on Guam a couple of times

00:11:53.060 when I was in the Navy.

00:11:53.840 These volcanic islands, when you're on certain areas of them, when you're going through it

00:11:58.080 from town to town in some of these spots that are out of the big cities, there's literally

00:12:01.720 only one road because they just don't have roads that go up the mountains.

00:12:05.540 They don't have roads that cut into the jungles.

00:12:06.860 So there's only one road in and out of so many of these towns.

00:12:10.700 And so for the government to blockade the road in the middle of a fire, because, and look,

00:12:18.720 I understand they were trying to deal with the power lines, but the stories that we're

00:12:22.740 getting, they blockaded the road.

00:12:24.800 And that means those images that I think we've all seen at this point, the cars that were

00:12:29.760 burnt out, dogs that were flash carbonized from the high heat of this fire, extremely high

00:12:36.380 the heat.

00:12:37.680 That means that the people were stuck on the road like that.

00:12:41.700 That's why the cars were all lined up.

00:12:44.880 And we're hearing stories now of entire families that were caught in these cars and essentially

00:12:50.880 forced to be there by their own government.

00:12:55.240 Some people, of course, jumped out, jumped into the water.

00:12:58.220 We're now only going back.

00:13:00.000 And it's amazing because, as you say, TikTok, other social media platforms, we've seen some

00:13:05.380 of the videos, now we're piecing together the story of what actually happened.

00:13:10.660 That's absolutely right, Jack.

00:13:12.140 And the infrastructure in Hawaii, it's not built like these other places where there's

00:13:15.860 so many people coming from different states and driving in.

00:13:19.140 It's very much many of these places just have one lane roads or only two lane roads.

00:13:24.020 So I can imagine how difficult and how terrifying it was for some of these people trying to get

00:13:28.960 out of Maui, trying to get away from the fires during this time.

00:13:32.120 So, Ashley, why isn't the government, I'm just going to cut to the chase.

00:13:39.300 Why isn't the government telling us, and we're told the FBI later this week will give us an

00:13:43.780 update on the missing children.

00:13:45.840 Why won't the governor of Hawaii, why won't the mayor of Maui just come clean?

00:13:50.760 They know who's missing.

00:13:52.040 They know what the names are.

00:13:52.980 They know what the ages are.

00:13:53.960 Of course they do.

00:13:55.060 Right.

00:13:55.200 When I was on an aircraft carrier, you would have an entire muster sheet in a couple of

00:13:59.040 minutes if somebody went overboard.

00:14:00.980 So you can't tell me that almost two weeks later, we don't know the names and ages of

00:14:05.940 at least most of the people who are missing.

00:14:07.720 Ashley, why are they hiding this?

00:14:11.160 Because they're covering themselves, Jack.

00:14:13.640 It's very evident.

00:14:14.660 You know, they refuse to release water for hours, for hours, because they have this woke

00:14:19.600 ideology that water should be revered.

00:14:21.940 You had the overlord of the water saying, and even the governor, in response to that,

00:14:25.860 the most he said is that they maybe tipped a little too far in preserving water.

00:14:30.440 Well, that's putting it mildly, to say the least.

00:14:33.580 Yes, you tipped it a little too far.

00:14:35.380 Over a thousand people are missing or dead.

00:14:38.000 We don't know.

00:14:38.820 There's countless children missing.

00:14:40.460 We don't know.

00:14:41.200 So they're covering their own incompetence here.

00:14:43.240 And this is what happens time and time again.

00:14:45.040 The fact that the FBI is involved, the fact that we know that cadaver dogs were brought

00:14:52.960 early on, and you can see the look on these faces.

00:14:56.880 And I said this yesterday on the Eric Metaxas show.

00:14:59.800 I mean, this is like Chernobyl.

00:15:01.720 This is like Chernobyl in a sense that the government knows something and they are not

00:15:06.080 telling us.

00:15:07.500 They're not giving us the full facts.

00:15:09.600 They're not even sitting there trying to tell us that they're very upset.

00:15:14.940 And then Biden.

00:15:15.820 Tell me about what do you take of Biden's performance, if you can even call it that, when he visited?

00:15:24.660 Yeah, his performance or lack thereof, you know, and there's all these reports of him

00:15:29.200 allegedly dozing off.

00:15:30.780 That's what it looked like to me and thousands of other people online.

00:15:34.040 It certainly looked like he dozed off during that.

00:15:36.120 But it's incredible the stark contrast of the media, right?

00:15:39.440 When Joe Rogan had COVID, you had CNN photoshopping him to be green so that he seemed sicker than

00:15:45.460 he is.

00:15:46.060 And here we have Biden, who looks like he's dozing off, and they don't have anything to

00:15:49.580 say about this man who should be in a nursing home.

00:15:51.800 He should not be leading these people who are going through extreme loss and tragedy.

00:15:58.260 I think at this point, we have to stop covering Biden as if there's not something mentally 0.94

00:16:03.680 deficient with him. 0.94

00:16:04.780 This guy's not a normal president.

00:16:07.320 This guy's not, he doesn't even, I don't even know if he knows where he is.

00:16:10.740 They put him on the plane, he wakes up, he gets off.

00:16:13.020 And I'm just going to say, I would say it again, I'm doubling down.

00:16:14.920 I don't care what Snope says or NBC says.

00:16:17.120 The guy looks asleep to me because his head goes down.

00:16:20.440 He starts nodding off.

00:16:21.480 And then he has that startle, right?

00:16:23.420 Like when you fall asleep, like a kid who falls asleep in a classroom and then wakes up

00:16:27.980 suddenly and kind of looks around.

00:16:29.600 You can see him do that.

00:16:31.000 And you know what NBC said, Ashley, they said he was, he was, he was bowing his head

00:16:36.600 in solemnity while praying.

00:16:39.920 Well, I got something, I got news for you.

00:16:41.260 We do a little thing in, you know, for the devout Catholics out there, you know, because

00:16:45.180 Joe Biden's such a devout Catholic.

00:16:46.780 Where's your sign of the cross, Joe?

00:16:48.360 Where's your sign of the cross?

00:16:49.460 Whenever you go to pray, look at, in our house, whenever you pass a graveyard, whenever

00:16:53.460 an ambulance goes by with the siren on before we go to eat, before every single prayer

00:16:57.960 we do, it's the sign of the cross.

00:17:00.560 It's the most basic Holy Spirit, right?

00:17:02.440 It's, it's, you do it.

00:17:03.400 I probably do it a dozen times a day, right?

00:17:05.920 It's the, it's so simple, you know, when you're on it, well, actually, when we take

00:17:09.140 off an aircraft, that's something that we always do.

00:17:10.600 We say a prayer.

00:17:11.200 And so for a guy who's supposed to be Mr. Devout Catholic, where's your sign of the

00:17:14.600 cross, Joe?

00:17:15.420 Where's your sign of the cross?

00:17:16.900 Ashley, one minute left.

00:17:18.180 Should we even treat Joe Biden as if he is a president at this point?

00:17:23.180 No, and I don't think anybody does.

00:17:24.860 I think we're the laughingstock of the world at this point, and as Michael Mallett says,

00:17:28.340 it's going to be hysterical if he's the nominee for 2024, because Joe Biden's not going to

00:17:33.660 know if he's still in 2020.

00:17:35.120 He's going to feel like it's a repeat.

00:17:36.860 No, I don't think we should take him seriously.

00:17:39.100 And it's, again, it's a tragedy that we don't have a real leader to be leading during this

00:17:43.860 Maui travesty.

00:17:45.240 It's, it's a shame.

00:17:47.520 It's an absolute shame.

00:17:48.740 We're a joke.

00:17:49.400 The BRICS nations are meeting.

00:17:50.760 They're talking about getting rid of the dollar.

00:17:52.500 They're saying they want out, they want out of the freak show. 0.79

00:17:55.080 They want out of clown world.

00:17:56.180 They, they're taking their ball. 0.89

00:17:58.060 They're taking their resources.

00:17:59.260 They're taking their factories.

00:18:00.380 They're taking their money and they're leaving the global East and the global South are combining 0.97

00:18:04.460 what we've got our guy up there.

00:18:06.300 At least Yeltsin, at least Yeltsin could finish a sentence.

00:18:10.100 At least Yeltsin could stay awake and not stand up.

00:18:13.260 But we got, we got the vegetable, vegetable, veggie Joe.

00:18:16.720 We got veggie Joe.

00:18:20.840 Now you talk about influences.

00:18:22.680 These are influences.

00:18:24.600 And they're friends of mine.

00:18:26.920 Jack Pasovic.

00:18:28.400 Where's Jack?

00:19:54.940 And so will you as well.

00:19:56.380 Now, getting back to the news, though, we do have breaking news that Hawaii officials have

00:20:03.280 now begun requesting DNA samples from relatives of people missing in the Maui fires.

00:20:11.020 This is out of one hour ago.

00:20:13.360 Thousands of people are missing from wildfires that swept through Maui, prompting officials

00:20:16.640 to ask for DNA samples to go through the remains.

00:20:19.980 The FBI's unaccounted list says there are 1,000 to 1,100 unidentified people missing as of

00:20:29.040 Tuesday.

00:20:29.460 That's up from 850 the day before with already 104 DNA samples collected from family members.

00:20:37.600 Officials say they have little hope of identifying the remains.

00:20:41.220 Nearly three quarters of the remains that have been tested DNA thus far have generated searchable

00:20:53.180 DNA results, Julie French, who is assisting in identifying the remains, said during a press

00:20:57.880 conference on Tuesday.

00:20:59.520 We need family members to come forward and donate their samples so that we can compare

00:21:03.880 them to these DNA profiles that we've already generated from remains.

00:21:08.840 And so, Ashley, horrific as the story is, my takeaway, and tell me if you agree, they're

00:21:17.720 talking about they've identified remains, but they can't actually identify who the people

00:21:22.780 are that they've recovered.

00:21:25.060 Is that basically what your sense is here?

00:21:27.420 Different DNA signatures, but they can't actually identify the people because in many of these

00:21:35.120 cases, they have no way to ID them.

00:21:36.800 No, and it's incredibly difficult to identify someone after a fire, but it's a shame, Jack.

00:21:44.620 It's a shame that, you know, of course, the Post Millennial is reporting on this, but this

00:21:48.260 should be all over every outlet, and it's just not.

00:21:51.120 Instead, I received a push notification from the New York Times on how a racist Instagram

00:21:55.980 destroyed a California school.

00:21:58.480 The media doesn't care, and in fact, there's a media blackout, or at least there was in

00:22:02.200 Maui, and they just don't seem to care about one of the biggest tragedies.

00:22:06.760 We have a thousand missing people, a thousand people who can't be identified, and they don't

00:22:11.060 care.

00:22:11.280 Why do you suppose that is?

00:22:13.960 Because I can certainly remember when the Puerto Rico hurricane took place, when I think it

00:22:19.760 was Trump's first year in office, or towards the end of his beginning of his second year

00:22:23.460 in office, this was a huge story.

00:22:25.540 He was raked over the coals for the way that he was throwing paper towels out.

00:22:30.560 You know, he was there, right?

00:22:31.620 He was there immediately throwing out supplies, handing out supplies.

00:22:34.760 I certainly remember the way they treated George Bush in the aftermath of Katrina, yet

00:22:40.080 for some reason, we have the same situation.

00:22:43.640 Media just doesn't seem to care, which, oh, by the way, just popped in my head that during

00:22:47.860 Katrina, you had a governor, or a mayor down there, rather, Mayor Ray Nagin, who actually

00:22:52.360 refused to allow school buses to be let out of this basic area.

00:22:57.820 This was on their contingency plans for a hurricane.

00:23:00.340 They had plenty of time knowing that this thing was coming.

00:23:02.320 They didn't utilize school buses to evacuate people from the area.

00:23:06.620 That's one of the things that the government clearly could have done.

00:23:09.540 We later found out there was a ton of corruption.

00:23:11.060 He went to jail.

00:23:13.280 Ashley, do you think we're going to uncover things like this as we peel back the layers

00:23:16.700 of what was actually going on in Hawaii?

00:23:19.300 I sure hope we uncover these things, because it's evident that there was gross incompetence.

00:23:24.360 And the media is nothing more than an arm of the Democratic Party at this point.

00:23:27.820 We all know that.

00:23:28.680 Anyone denying that is just being dishonest.

00:23:31.580 But they're covering for their friends here.

00:23:33.580 A lot of these deaths could have been avoided had we not had Democratic leaders who were

00:23:38.640 pushing woke policies about preserving water and, you know, revering water here.

00:23:44.180 We're not putting out the sirens.

00:23:46.220 Not, you know, this is all could have been avoidable.

00:23:48.920 Many of these deaths.

00:23:50.080 And so when you were there as well, what was the sense on the ground that you were hearing?

00:23:56.980 I know you're going in at the airports.

00:23:58.520 You were obviously there on vacation, had no idea that this was coming.

00:24:02.760 I'm not suggesting that Ashley St.

00:24:04.640 Claire is part of the Chinese directed energy operation against Hawaii.

00:24:10.140 Hashtag JK.

00:24:10.820 But in all seriousness, you were there.

00:24:13.960 You were on the ground.

00:24:14.840 What was the mood?

00:24:15.620 What was the sense?

00:24:17.580 There was a lot of questions.

00:24:19.400 There was a lot of confusion.

00:24:21.200 Even the people of Hawaii and I was on a different island, but nobody really had answers.

00:24:25.700 But, you know, they had relatives.

00:24:27.420 They had family.

00:24:28.020 They had friends who were in Oahu.

00:24:30.340 They were in Maui.

00:24:31.300 And they still didn't have answers.

00:24:33.020 They were sitting there, as I said before, saying there's way more dead bodies than they're

00:24:37.220 reporting in the media.

00:24:38.080 At that time, it was 80 dead bodies.

00:24:40.040 And they said, no, there's hundreds.

00:24:41.640 There's hundreds.

00:24:42.340 They're not telling us the full truth.

00:24:43.660 There's a lot of reports coming out about land grabs, about people getting offers that

00:24:48.680 are way below the valuation for their properties.

00:24:51.860 There's reports about eviction notices.

00:24:53.820 And I really hope that the people of Maui don't just take these investors' money or whatever's

00:24:59.280 going on here out of a place of desperation, because it seems there are, in most forms of

00:25:05.560 tragedy, people who are going to come in and try to take advantage.

00:25:09.220 Well, that's exactly right.

00:25:10.580 These raiders, they're going into parts of Ukraine as well.

00:25:14.180 They're targeting children in Ukraine as they come out of the war-torn area.

00:25:18.500 They're targeting mothers with their kids.

00:25:20.620 We covered a lot of this with Tim Ballard from Sound of Freedom and others.

00:25:25.000 But, Ashley, when it comes to us as a country, what does it say that we are so focused on,

00:25:31.920 and we covered at the top of the story, this aircraft downing outside of Moscow, potentially

00:25:37.360 this mercenary leader from Russia, was taken out.

00:25:40.720 We're in a proxy war with Russia and Ukraine.

00:25:43.180 We're told that we have to send hundreds of billions of dollars.

00:25:46.200 We've got a debate later tonight.

00:25:47.740 We're going to be talking about, there's an argument about foreign aid, I'm sure, to Israel

00:25:51.940 that's going to come up between Nikki Haley and Vivek Ramaswamy.

00:25:55.300 Yet, do you see any of these political leaders in the United States really focused on any

00:26:01.280 of these issues that are actually facing directly actual Americans when you're talking about

00:26:06.220 people who were incinerated with their entire family while the government stopped the road

00:26:12.540 and blocked their only way out of town?

00:26:14.420 No, absolutely not.

00:26:17.180 And this is why, you know, Oliver, Anthony, Stong, Richmond, North of Richmond was so popular

00:26:21.620 because the politicians don't really speak for us anymore.

00:26:24.440 They speak for themselves.

00:26:25.340 And even what they're doing by not covering this all over the media, it is horrific because

00:26:31.140 they're not even giving the people an opportunity.

00:26:33.600 They're not even putting out messages about how we as people, as a collective, as communities

00:26:38.940 can pitch in and help the people of Maui.

00:26:41.140 They're covering none of this.

00:26:42.680 That's exactly right.

00:26:46.020 We're told, you know, we're told, wear your next, you know, get your booster, wear your

00:26:50.900 mask, you know, lock up, save lives.

00:26:53.680 And again, all of the mask mandates are coming back because people have the sniffles, bad case

00:26:58.940 of the sniffles going around.

00:27:00.360 So we got to bring back the mask mandates.

00:27:02.160 Ashley, let me ask you this.

00:27:02.960 Are you going to comply?

00:27:04.140 Are you going to comply this time around?

00:27:06.000 Are you going forward or what?

00:27:07.660 Yeah, I'm going to get eight boosters.

00:27:09.640 I'm going to triple mask.

00:27:11.060 I can't get COVID.

00:27:12.560 You know, I'm one of the comorbidity groups.

00:27:15.980 I'm kidding.

00:27:16.420 I'm not going to mask at all.

00:27:17.640 I really think everyone needs to reject this absurdity entirely.

00:27:21.040 Don't wear a mask.

00:27:22.100 Look, you might not be able to go to your favorite restaurant.

00:27:24.360 You might have to drive instead of fly.

00:27:26.460 But do not comply.

00:27:27.720 Stop complying with this.

00:27:29.040 This is why they're able to do it again, because they saw how quickly people were like,

00:27:32.840 oh, no, please don't.

00:27:34.100 Don't take away my restaurants.

00:27:35.540 Don't take away my movie theaters.

00:27:36.940 And people just wore the masks and complied so that they could do everyday things.

00:27:41.180 That's exactly right.

00:27:42.820 So the same government that will let your family burn to death in a car is going to arrest you

00:27:49.720 because you want to eat a meal without a mask on when you're sitting on an airplane?

00:27:54.200 No, I don't think so.

00:27:55.920 I don't think so.

00:27:56.460 Not anymore.

00:27:56.900 I'm done.

00:27:57.300 I'm totally done.

00:27:57.840 I remember when I'm coming to LaGuardia at the peak of COVID, and they kept asking for

00:28:04.040 the COVID papers.

00:28:05.080 The National Guard would run after me, and I'd say, no, thank you.

00:28:08.240 And you know what?

00:28:09.060 They can't do anything.

00:28:10.860 So really, people think that they have a lot more power than they do, but you don't have

00:28:15.820 to comply with these things.

00:28:17.180 Don't comply.

00:28:18.040 Take a stand.

00:28:18.680 We talk so much about Antifa tearing down the statues of our founding fathers, but so

00:28:22.700 many of us don't even have a quarter of the coconuts that our founding fathers did.

00:28:26.480 We don't want to give up any of our comforts, any of our luxuries to take a stand.

00:28:32.080 That's exactly right.

00:28:33.220 Look, the founding fathers, Ben Franklin, had the great quote, either we hang together or

00:28:37.880 we shall hang separately.

00:28:39.760 And it's as simple as that.

00:28:41.200 I want mass noncompliance on this.

00:28:44.020 And by the way, whatever the first company is that comes out and says they're going to

00:28:48.920 mandate this, whether it's Target, whether it's Walmart, whatever it is, we need to crush

00:28:54.340 them like a Bud Light can. 0.88

00:28:56.120 We need to absolutely target that company and destroy their stock, destroy their name. 1.00

00:29:02.720 We're going to call them fake and gay. 1.00

00:29:04.300 We're going to do everything possible under the sun to take that company off the board. 0.99

00:29:09.000 I don't care if they're Fortune 500.

00:29:10.340 I don't care who they are.

00:29:11.580 We're going to Uber, right?

00:29:12.800 You know, Uber is going to be one of the big ones of this.

00:29:14.900 So, Ashley, what should you tell people?

00:29:17.000 Are you if an Uber comes out and says you can't get it?

00:29:20.240 Remember, they made you take a picture of yourself with the mask on.

00:29:23.040 Are you going to do it?

00:29:24.680 No, absolutely none.

00:29:26.080 I'm not using Uber anyways for a variety of different reasons.

00:29:29.080 But what I can say is, look, if you're online, you're posting about me, you know, you're not

00:29:33.160 complying, you're doing all these things.

00:29:34.860 Don't be a Kid Rock, right?

00:29:36.320 We saw Kid Rock.

00:29:37.300 He was shooting Bud Light cans.

00:29:38.900 And then all of a sudden he was photographed with a Bud Light.

00:29:41.580 We will find out if you're actually masking up to go see your favorite movie.

00:29:45.360 Don't do it.

00:29:46.400 Don't comply.

00:29:47.960 And don't be a virgin signal.

00:29:48.620 God bless Ashley St. Clair. 1.00

00:29:49.920 And I got to say, just, no, let's focus on signal, not noise.

00:29:54.360 The people of Maui deserve 100% accountability for what happened, what went wrong.

00:30:01.560 And to the officials that blocked those roads, to the people who blocked the water, to the

00:30:06.240 people who were not switching the energy grid and not maintaining the energy grid because

00:30:10.080 they forced it to go green, they should all be in jail as far as I'm concerned.

00:30:13.160 Ashley, where can people follow you?

00:30:14.180 What I will say, too, instead of shouting myself out, what I'm going to do is as soon as we

00:30:19.660 end here, I'm going to pin a post to the top of my X profile.

00:30:23.560 And this is a young girl who's going, boots on the ground, helping people in Maui who need

00:30:28.140 it.

00:30:28.320 She's bringing supplies to them. 0.78

00:30:29.980 So let's empower the people on the ground, the people who live there.

00:30:33.440 That's a good place to start.

00:30:34.980 So I'll pin that to the top of my X profile at St. Clair Ashley.

00:30:38.560 All right.

00:30:39.200 At St. Clair Ashley X dot com.

00:30:41.780 I'm going to retweet that out.

00:30:42.900 We're going to get out to everyone.

00:30:43.700 Stay tuned for a little preview of what to look for tonight in the debates when we come

00:30:46.780 back.

00:30:50.140 You're about the boring people at your office.

00:30:52.660 I'm trying to listen to the new human events with Jack Posobiec.

00:30:58.020 All right, Jack Posobiec back here live, Washington, D.C.

00:31:00.780 Now, while we've got assassinations in Moscow, we've got wildfires, a thousand missing, the

00:31:07.960 FBI building in a DNA database.

00:31:11.080 We've also got a primary season and a presidential election, which really, in many ways, kicks

00:31:16.260 off tonight with the first official debate of the evening, the debate of the season.

00:31:21.940 It'll be coming out later tonight around 9 p.m.

00:31:25.120 Eastern.

00:31:25.600 We know that President Trump, the front runner, will not be attending.

00:31:30.620 However, many others will be attending.

00:31:32.940 And so to kind of handicap the race for us, tell us what to look for tonight.

00:31:37.280 I wanted to bring on Garrett Ventry.

00:31:39.160 He is a longtime Republican strategist, as well as a formerly advisor to Senator Chuck

00:31:44.440 Grassley, a guy who knows Iowa in and out, as well as knows the primary electorate in

00:31:50.640 and out.

00:31:50.960 Garrett, thank you so much for joining us.

00:31:52.800 Thanks for having me, Jack.

00:31:53.460 Good to be with you.

00:31:53.960 So tell me what, and just that basically, what's the handicap?

00:31:58.260 What are you going to be looking for tonight?

00:32:00.180 What do the candidates need?

00:32:01.780 Obviously, none of them have really had any breakout moment until this point in the debate.

00:32:07.920 So to me, I guess the sense is, is this going to be a free-for-all battle royale where everybody's

00:32:13.140 basically just gunning to take each other out?

00:32:15.020 Or do you think any of them are able to have a moment on this stage that actually, which

00:32:21.140 they're all hoping for, I'm sure, springboards them into direct contention with Donald Trump?

00:32:26.200 Yeah, I would say, I mean, the elephant that's technically not in the room is Donald Trump,

00:32:30.480 right?

00:32:30.660 He's essentially dominated this entire primary here.

00:32:33.060 He's winning in most polls by 30, 40, sometimes 50 points.

00:32:37.040 And so that's obviously going to suck up a lot of oxygen in the room.

00:32:39.760 I think there'll still be questions about him, even though he won't be there.

00:32:42.380 The question is, obviously, in a primary like 2016 or 2012 or 2008, where there's a battle

00:32:49.140 and it's a much closer battle where you're talking about, you know, the front runners

00:32:52.740 at 20 percent, second place is at 13 percent, something like this matters here.

00:32:57.160 But because Trump's at 50, 60 percent, it's just really tough for these candidates to break

00:33:01.440 through.

00:33:01.700 I would watch Ron DeSantis really has been slipping in the polls, so he needs to have a

00:33:04.980 big night here.

00:33:05.660 He's going to have to fend off Vivek, obviously, who's been surging in the polls.

00:33:09.560 He's going to have to potentially fend off Chris Christie, who's known to come after

00:33:13.360 people like Marco Rubio.

00:33:14.560 We've saw him effectively do that in the New Hampshire debate in 2016.

00:33:20.020 So that's something to keep an eye on as well.

00:33:21.980 And then you've got people like, you know, this never Trump lane is just so small, Jack,

00:33:25.760 right?

00:33:25.960 You've got Pence, Asa Hutchinson, Christie's in that lane.

00:33:29.320 It's only four or five percent of the vote.

00:33:31.100 And no one has really been able to show even Vivek DeSantis that they've been able to pull

00:33:35.480 from Donald Trump.

00:33:36.520 Vivek has really pulled from Ron DeSantis here.

00:33:38.420 So, you know, we'll see what happens here.

00:33:40.860 It's going to be a big moment for these guys because they're going to have 15, 20 million

00:33:43.860 views on them for the first time.

00:33:45.800 And so obviously having a big moment here is going to matter.

00:33:48.540 But Donald Trump is certainly going to loom large over the debate.

00:33:52.880 What do you make of this campaign right now that I've noticed it seems like, and I'm sure

00:33:58.500 you're getting hit up with it as well.

00:33:59.820 The OPPO research files are gunning.

00:34:03.480 The cannon salvos popping off on Vivek Ramaswamy, bringing up things, you know, that's something

00:34:10.140 I even brought up when he when he first announced that he's he's addressed in many ways and other

00:34:13.980 ways people are bringing up, oh, is he tied to Soros?

00:34:16.380 He tied the World Economic Forum.

00:34:17.480 But it really seems that just in this past week that suddenly there's been a huge circling

00:34:23.700 of the guns pointed at Vivek Ramaswamy.

00:34:26.320 Are you seeing that as well?

00:34:27.960 Absolutely.

00:34:28.320 I mean, he went from somebody that, you know, nobody really even knew he was.

00:34:31.380 He was pulling at zero percent when he entered the race.

00:34:33.240 I think a lot of people thought it was a joke to maybe sell books when he got in the race.

00:34:36.120 And he's clearly resonated with some voters here.

00:34:38.680 But yeah, there it shows you when you rise in the polls here, you start to take fire.

00:34:42.340 We saw that with DeSantis at the beginning.

00:34:44.640 You know, you've seen this in 2016 when Marco Rubio started to surge a little bit.

00:34:49.540 A lot of folks, nice came out for him.

00:34:51.240 Bad stories come out of him.

00:34:52.280 Same thing with Cruz and others.

00:34:53.500 Ben Carson in 2016.

00:34:54.600 So I think it just shows that he's really having a moment here and he's chipping away

00:34:58.360 and has run a strong race here.

00:35:00.560 And he's done it in a way, I think you've seen here, in a way that has not attacked Donald

00:35:04.720 Trump.

00:35:05.300 Most folks think that that's the strategy to apparently gain voters.

00:35:08.060 But when he's the most popular figure in the Republican Party, it's hard to attack him.

00:35:11.900 Most voters in an NBC poll said that the thing that turns them off the most is when they

00:35:16.000 when someone attacks Donald Trump.

00:35:17.400 So Vivek certainly made a case.

00:35:19.560 He's had a lot of interesting ideas.

00:35:20.940 And I think the firepower is out for him because he's having a moment right now.

00:35:25.060 We'll see how he does this really in the debate, because that's going to obviously be a big

00:35:28.940 question for him.

00:35:30.560 Now, when you're looking at at the debates and really just the race in general, how is

00:35:37.360 it that a guy named Vivek Ramaswamy, who's never set foot in politics ever before, he's

00:35:43.520 38 years old, he just turned 38.

00:35:45.280 He posts videos of himself playing tennis shirtless when he's in the midst of all this controversy

00:35:52.300 and he's doing burpees, I guess, with his wife.

00:35:54.880 And you got a guy like that who's actually in contention with a second term governor, a

00:36:01.300 guy who's served in the military as well as it.

00:36:04.020 And by the way, and pretty much every poll that I've seen is beating a former vice president

00:36:09.640 of the United States.

00:36:11.460 How did we get here?

00:36:12.380 Yeah, I think a lot of these guys are missing the moment, right?

00:36:16.180 This is a party that is dominated by not only Trump, but his policies, right?

00:36:19.500 Everybody who's talking about building the wall, everybody who's talking about illegal

00:36:22.780 immigration, everybody who's talking about going after big tech, everybody who's talking

00:36:26.380 about being tough on China.

00:36:27.700 Those ideas came from Donald Trump, right?

00:36:29.840 These were ideas that Republican candidates in 2012 and even going into 2016 were not talking

00:36:34.760 about.

00:36:35.060 You look at trade specifically, right, Jack?

00:36:37.000 So those are things I think that Vivek has tapped into.

00:36:39.800 He's really gone with a lot of Trump policies.

00:36:43.160 He's not criticized President Trump.

00:36:44.860 I think he's also been willing to do interviews with hostile media.

00:36:48.000 He's been willing to go out there and address voters.

00:36:50.740 And he's been able to say a lot of things that voters agree with.

00:36:53.380 So I think that's the smart move here.

00:36:55.300 Pence and others.

00:36:55.880 I mean, Pence launched his entire campaign on January 6th.

00:36:58.500 I mean, it's apparently he didn't pay attention to the Wyoming primary, where Liz Cheney was

00:37:02.800 essentially erased by, what, 50 points in that primary.

00:37:05.760 So running on that Adam Kinzinger, Liz Cheney, Mitt Romney lane just doesn't exist anymore.

00:37:11.220 So people who think they can do that, like Christie, like Pence, there's just really not

00:37:14.640 an appetite for those folks in the Republican base right now.

00:37:17.260 So I think Vivek has been smart to talk about the issues that Republican voters care about

00:37:21.460 to get creative and really hit the airwaves.

00:37:23.600 So we'll see how he performs tonight.

00:37:24.780 Obviously, a lot of knives are going to be out for him.

00:37:26.360 Yeah, something I think also that could potentially be a question to look for tonight is that more

00:37:34.600 so than the bigger, the larger element of the room of Trump not being there is the fact

00:37:37.940 that no one in this race has articulately, or at least to my knowledge, explained how

00:37:44.920 it is that they plan to actually beat Trump.

00:37:47.760 And we've heard these leaks saying that, oh, the indictments will come.

00:37:51.320 The indictments will destroy Trump's standing with the primary.

00:37:55.140 They'll destroy him in the general.

00:37:57.140 And yet poll after poll shows not only have the indictments solidified his lead in the primary,

00:38:04.460 but actually, as the indictments have become more and more ridiculous as they've continued,

00:38:10.760 he's actually trending to neck and neck with Biden and national polls that we never saw levels

00:38:16.280 like this in all of 2020.

00:38:18.120 So do you think that any of these candidates will ever be able to actually articulate how

00:38:22.760 they plan to beat him?

00:38:24.860 Well, again, it goes back to like he is a very unstoppable force right now in the primary.

00:38:29.980 And you've seen over the years, any Republican who has successfully taken on Donald Trump,

00:38:34.500 there is a graveyard of politicians who have taken on Donald Trump, right?

00:38:37.860 From primary races to the presidential in 2016, you're even seeing this.

00:38:42.060 Ron DeSantis went from a very popular governor as a rising star to someone who's essentially

00:38:47.200 just been beaten over and over again by Donald Trump in this primary.

00:38:50.700 And we've seen his polls sink because of that.

00:38:53.560 I do think it's going to be tough for them to communicate that.

00:38:56.020 And now, I think an interesting thing, Jack, you point out is the indictments.

00:38:59.600 You know, it's like 2016, 2017, all over again.

00:39:02.000 2018, the walls are closing in on Trump with Russia, the hoax we know there.

00:39:06.100 Donald Trump just survives these things over and over again.

00:39:08.380 And that really becomes even more popular because of him.

00:39:11.020 We've seen this in the indictments.

00:39:12.340 But I think you dig into the polling.

00:39:13.400 It's very interesting.

00:39:14.200 New York Times had a poll that came out recently.

00:39:16.060 It showed Biden and Trump neck and neck, 43, 43, which means Trump is probably up even more.

00:39:20.980 As you and I know, Trump outperforms a lot of these polls.

00:39:24.060 But in there, I found something very interesting.

00:39:25.680 Republican voters, by a 30-point margin, believe Donald Trump is the best candidate to defeat

00:39:31.100 Joe Biden.

00:39:31.680 And they have a lot of reason to think that.

00:39:33.680 Not only, again, does he match up strongly with Joe Biden in these polls, but if you dig into

00:39:36.960 the numbers, Donald Trump against Joe Biden, non-white voters, I think is a really 0.61

00:39:41.460 interesting trend that's going towards Donald Trump.

00:39:43.840 Obama in 2012 won non-white voters by, I think it was about 67 points.

00:39:49.200 Biden in 2020 won by over 40 points.

00:39:51.920 And right now, he's only leading Trump by 16 points.

00:39:54.560 The second part of it is, if you look at the Rust Belt states, the key states to win the

00:39:57.860 presidency, really, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, again, very key states that you

00:40:02.860 need to win the presidency.

00:40:04.640 Donald Trump is beating Joe Biden in a recent Rust Belt poll by seven points.

00:40:08.620 DeSantis is losing to Biden by three points.

00:40:10.640 So, again, Trump's electability is not some talking point.

00:40:13.940 There is hardcore data to prove that he is not only dominating this GOP primary, but is

00:40:18.440 the toughest challenger to Joe Biden.

00:40:20.680 And so, again, it's just going to be very tough for these candidates to make that case

00:40:23.320 when voters poll after poll.

00:40:25.320 And we see the energy to just trust Donald Trump in this primary.

00:40:28.940 Well, Garrett, I think it's exactly right.

00:40:30.360 I've got about a minute here until break.

00:40:31.720 But there's something that I keep articulating and driving home to folks.

00:40:36.600 And that's when we're talking about the general election, that you have to have a national

00:40:40.380 brand.

00:40:41.200 You cannot be a candidate that only appeals to one area of the country.

00:40:46.640 So a candidate that is at full appeal in the Sun Belt or the Bible Belt is not the same

00:40:52.260 type of candidate that is going to play in the Rust Belt.

00:40:55.740 And you have to have the ability to be, I sort of made a joke yesterday, but you got to

00:40:59.400 be McDonald's, right?

00:41:00.260 You got to be McDonald's.

00:41:01.280 You have to have national appeal.

00:41:03.480 And if you go all in on one of these regions, they may love you and you can run up the score

00:41:08.200 there, but you're not going to have the broad-based appeal.

00:41:10.680 This is what McCain and Romney found out.

00:41:12.500 This is what Trump flipped in 2016.

00:41:14.320 Stay tuned.

00:41:14.660 Last segment coming up.

00:41:18.500 I'm always listening to Human Events with Jack Posobiec.

00:41:23.020 All right, Jack Posobiec back here live.

00:41:24.700 Washington, D.C.

00:41:25.700 Human Events.

00:41:26.760 Debate night is coming up.

00:41:28.680 Garrett Ventry is with us.

00:41:29.600 He's a Republican strategist, former advisor to Grassley.

00:41:32.380 Now, Garrett, you were walking through in the last segment, you made a point that you

00:41:36.480 said that Trump is up with the Rust Belt against Biden.

00:41:40.540 Now, let me ask you this question, though.

00:41:42.740 How do the other candidates fare against Biden with some of these areas?

00:41:46.380 Because we've seen that with the Republican map right now, you need to win at least one

00:41:52.740 of these Rust Belt states.

00:41:54.200 You need Ohio, that's for sure.

00:41:55.600 But people forget Obama won Ohio, right?

00:41:58.060 Ohio was an Obama state, but you definitely need at least Wisconsin or Michigan.

00:42:03.740 Pennsylvania, my home state, it's tantalizing, but sometimes a little bit out of grasp.

00:42:09.280 But you absolutely need Wisconsin or Michigan.

00:42:12.480 And probably, I think, Wisconsin is closest than you have in the Sun Belt, Georgia and Arizona,

00:42:17.620 are absolute must wins.

00:42:19.100 So which is the candidate?

00:42:20.320 And that's really the only question that I have.

00:42:22.040 It's just not checkers.

00:42:22.960 Who is the candidate that is most likely to win?

00:42:25.040 How did these other candidates stack up there?

00:42:27.820 Yeah, I think it's very interesting.

00:42:29.060 Again, the Rust Belt poll I was pointing out, Fox and Friends First did a recent segment

00:42:32.140 on this.

00:42:32.680 And I thought it was really interesting because, again, DeSantis is losing by three to Biden

00:42:36.680 there and Trump is winning by seven.

00:42:38.200 Those key four states.

00:42:39.120 We've talked about Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.

00:42:42.420 Another thing I said, you see a lot of these candidates, Nikki Haley, DeSantis particularly,

00:42:46.640 make this argument.

00:42:47.400 Tim Scott as well.

00:42:48.560 That they're the best candidate to beat Joe Biden.

00:42:50.060 In a recent Fox News poll, Donald Trump is the only one in the margin of error.

00:42:53.280 Haley, Scott, DeSantis, they're losing by five, six, seven points in those polls and

00:42:57.340 a head-to-head national poll on Fox.

00:42:59.360 And so, again, these arguments are just not proven by data.

00:43:01.840 Donald Trump is not only the strongest on the issues, the most popular in our party right

00:43:05.960 now, but again, head-to-head with Joe Biden, he matches up the most strongly.

00:43:10.760 Well, and what is it about these candidates?

00:43:13.060 Because it's the same kind of narrative I remember hearing from like Rubio, from Romney, from

00:43:18.880 McCain.

00:43:19.940 It's, oh, we can go back to the suburbs.

00:43:21.480 We can go back to the suburbs.

00:43:22.720 But, you know, when you go around in the suburbs, especially suburban moms, and, you know, I see

00:43:26.540 it's, you see the, you know, hate has no home here.

00:43:29.900 Refugees, welcome.

00:43:30.840 Let's all go get vaccinated.

00:43:32.140 Let's all go get boosters.

00:43:33.980 Versus you got a guy like Trump.

00:43:35.940 He appeals to this, you know, the Oliver Anthony's out there, the NASCAR dad's out there.

00:43:40.940 He doesn't care about the rich man north of Richmond.

00:43:44.160 He's the kind of guy that wants to go for that vote.

00:43:47.520 Appalachia, the Piedmont, these types that are absolutely swingable in the Rust Belt.

00:43:54.500 No, absolutely.

00:43:55.360 I think you're 100% right.

00:43:56.300 And you're seeing Trump builds, he builds a different coalition.

00:43:58.920 Again, you're seeing Hispanic voters flock to him.

00:44:01.200 You're seeing non-white voters flock to him.

00:44:03.320 It's a very interesting thing.

00:44:04.620 Donald Trump has really made this populist movement come home to him and really built that

00:44:08.080 out in the Republican Party.

00:44:09.040 I also think suburban moms, it's very interesting when you have, you know, issues to deal with 1.00

00:44:14.740 transgenderism in school right now being pushed on their kids, when you have high inflation

00:44:19.060 with, you know, on groceries, on gas, mortgage rates are up, more people are in credit card

00:44:24.380 debt than they've ever been.

00:44:25.940 More people are drawing from their 401ks than they ever have.

00:44:28.240 And if you compare the Trump economy to the Biden economy, we can actually look at that.

00:44:32.060 We can look at how good the economy was and how good people's finances were under Donald

00:44:35.980 Trump, we can look at even just across the globe.

00:44:38.500 We were at peace.

00:44:39.440 We weren't at war.

00:44:40.780 Russia was not invading Ukraine.

00:44:42.780 Afghanistan wasn't toppled by the Taliban.

00:44:44.920 Border crossings were down compared to where they are now.

00:44:47.420 And so the record that Joe Biden has compared to Donald Trump, we can actually compare it.

00:44:51.400 We don't have to make promises here.

00:44:53.240 Donald Trump made promises during his four years as president.

00:44:55.900 He kept those promises from appointing Supreme Court justices to getting illegal immigration 0.98

00:45:00.340 under control, to building the economy, to trying to solve international crisis.

00:45:04.420 He did all those things.

00:45:05.500 And so we can actually compare that to Joe Biden's record, which is weak, which has ruined

00:45:09.320 really our economy here.

00:45:10.720 It's destroyed the middle class. 0.72

00:45:12.380 It's lit our world on fire.

00:45:14.140 And so, again, when we compare those two in the suburbs, even, I think Donald Trump will

00:45:17.360 perform very strongly there.

00:45:19.780 I think that's right.

00:45:20.680 And we're hearing, of course, that in, you know, just looking ahead at the debate, there's

00:45:25.700 a new piece out by Shane Goldmacher, Ron DeSantis, livid on the Super PAC memo falling

00:45:32.360 out tonight, and really that his mission, his top line, is that he must prove that he

00:45:38.140 is still the top Trump alternative.

00:45:40.960 Do you really think that DeSantis has a chance left, or is tonight his last stand?

00:45:45.780 Well, I think we've seen him moving into Jeb Bush, Scott Walker territory, right?

00:45:51.880 Both those candidates started really hot.

00:45:53.560 They had a Super PAC, Jeb specifically with, you know, $90 million, $100 million.

00:45:57.980 They had all the infrastructure, the D.C.

00:45:59.880 consulting class.

00:46:01.260 They had a lot of the media talking about them, a lot of energy there.

00:46:04.660 I just do not think, I think when you're Ron DeSantis, you were talking about competing

00:46:07.880 with Trump, right, at the beginning, right?

00:46:09.700 That was the goal.

00:46:11.020 Now you're talking about making sure Vivek, who is an unknown name, you know, that he can

00:46:15.760 hold him off, and there's polls that are showing that Vivek is beating him.

00:46:18.400 So, again, I think Ron DeSantis, he was a pretty good governor.

00:46:22.380 He did a great job in Florida.

00:46:23.940 He's a presidential candidate against Donald Trump.

00:46:25.720 He has not been able to swing close.

00:46:27.400 He's way out of his league here.

00:46:29.960 He's, again, playing probably single-A or double-A ball at best, and Donald Trump's

00:46:33.240 in the major leagues in this situation politically here.

00:46:36.480 So I think Ron's, you know, he's on life support with this campaign here, and he's going

00:46:40.180 to have to have a big debate here and show that it is a two-person race.

00:46:43.620 But right now, it's really not even a two-person race.

00:46:45.460 It is a one-person race.

00:46:46.680 Donald Trump is up, again, 37, 40 points.

00:46:49.840 And this has been a consistent theme for the last two or three months, really, even longer

00:46:53.580 than that.

00:46:54.320 Then if you look at the early states, South Carolina, New Hampshire, he is Iowa as well.

00:47:00.200 He's dominating 25, 30 points in those states that are supposed to be winnable states to

00:47:05.420 get momentum.

00:47:05.900 So, again, I think it's going to be really tough for Ron DeSantis or anyone to break through

00:47:09.540 against Trump.

00:47:10.040 No, I agree with you.

00:47:13.220 And just like any of these players, if you know anything about, you know, Major League

00:47:17.080 Baseball, you take one of these players, you bring up some, sometimes, you know, you go

00:47:21.060 up to, I tweeted this.

00:47:22.600 It's funny you make the analogy.

00:47:24.100 Maybe you saw me referring to my tweet.

00:47:25.540 But you bring these guys up to the majors too early, and even if they've, you know, there's

00:47:30.640 always, every year, the scouts find there's that one guy, right?

00:47:33.840 There's that one prospect who, you know, his statistics are great.

00:47:38.700 You know, he's hitting everything.

00:47:40.060 He's catching everything.

00:47:41.120 He's running great.

00:47:42.200 But then he goes up to the majors, and it's like, the lights are too bright.

00:47:46.780 The spotlight is too intense.

00:47:48.680 The crowd is too loud.

00:47:49.960 The stress is too high, and something just breaks.

00:47:54.060 And then you take a guy like that, and you think, okay, do we move them back to the minors?

00:47:58.320 But then even when you do, that has a psychological impact.

00:48:01.800 That has an impact on your energy, on your spirit.

00:48:05.340 And it's very hard to go back and forth.

00:48:08.160 And unfortunately, for many of these players, it breaks what could have been otherwise an

00:48:12.880 incredible and stellar career.

00:48:14.740 Last minute, Garrett Ventry.

00:48:16.620 Yeah, absolutely.

00:48:17.440 I 100% agree with you.

00:48:18.580 Again, I think Ron did a good job during Florida, during lockdowns.

00:48:22.740 A lot of people appreciated what he did.

00:48:24.540 But again, I think he just missed the mark here that this is a party that is still dominated

00:48:28.320 by Donald Trump.

00:48:29.500 Look at the polling.

00:48:30.340 Look at the energy.

00:48:31.600 Not many other people can get, you know, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,000 people in the arena.

00:48:36.540 There's really no other candidate that can do that.

00:48:38.180 Joe Biden certainly can't do it, and nobody in this Republican primary is coming close to

00:48:42.060 that.

00:48:42.660 So it's energy in polling.

00:48:44.060 And so, again, I think he's missed the moment here.

00:48:45.620 And I think this is a time with the indictments happening against President Trump, the weaponization

00:48:50.920 we're seeing there.

00:48:51.980 It is a time for Republicans to hopefully unite around Donald Trump, because we need to defeat

00:48:56.060 Joe Biden and take our country back at this point.

00:48:57.960 It's a very dicey situation there.

00:49:00.220 So we definitely need Trump back.

00:49:01.340 Amen.

00:49:02.760 Appreciate the time, Gary Ventry.

00:49:04.080 Go follow him on Twitter.

00:49:05.840 Fantastic analysis, folks.

00:49:07.640 You know what would be great?

00:49:08.600 These candidates, you want to do something that's right for the country, drop out tonight

00:49:12.000 and get behind the nominee.

00:49:14.440 Ladies and gentlemen, as always, you have my permission to lay it short.

00:49:17.440 Let's see.

00:49:35.540 Let's see.
