00:00:25.820 The Poso Daily Brief.

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

00:00:40.860 For every lie they tell, we're going to get in their face and yell two truths.

00:00:45.980 This is Human Events with your host, Jack Poso.

00:00:49.080 Deliver us from evil.

00:00:51.340 You all signed a pledge to support the eventual Republican nominee.

00:00:55.460 If former President Trump is convicted in a court of law, would you still support him

00:01:02.000 as your party's choice?

00:01:03.620 Please raise your hand if you would.

00:01:06.020 President Trump, I believe, was the best president of the 21st century.

00:01:13.600 It's a fact.

00:01:14.760 And Chris Christie, honest to God, your claim that Donald Trump is motivated by vengeance

00:01:20.440 and grievance would be a lot more credible if your entire campaign were not based on vengeance

00:01:26.340 and grievance against one man.

00:01:28.280 See, I think he's the most corrupt president we've ever had, and he also has the distinction 0.99

00:01:34.280 of being the most incompetent. 0.90

00:01:36.480 I actually believe he's compromised because China knows so much about him.

00:01:41.100 They know where the money comes from.

00:01:42.540 They know where it is, who paid it, and they probably paid it.

00:01:46.060 But he, in many ways, is a Manchurian candidate.

00:01:49.200 Hours from now, former President Donald Trump is expected to turn himself into the Fulton

00:01:53.820 County Jail on charges of election interference.

00:01:56.940 The former president is expected to get a mugshot like the nine alleged co-conspirators who have

00:02:02.080 already turned themselves in.

00:02:03.500 This will be the first time in U.S. history that a president or former president will have

00:02:09.000 his fingerprints collected and mugshots taken.

00:02:11.560 This horrible district attorney from essentially Atlanta, that's Fulton County, she said,

00:02:20.040 basically, I don't have any right to challenge an election.

00:02:22.860 Well, what about Stacey Abrams?

00:02:24.880 What about Hillary Clinton?

00:02:25.920 What about all of these Democrats that are still challenging my election?

00:02:29.520 They're suing me, and they're saying, you don't have any right to challenge it.

00:02:32.040 If you challenge an election, we're going to indict you and put you in jail.

00:02:36.740 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events.

00:02:40.360 It's Jack Posobiec.

00:02:42.280 We are live down at Fulton County.

00:02:46.440 We've got a shot there in the corner.

00:02:49.000 As President Trump is expected to attend later today, where he's going to be brought like

00:02:55.020 a common criminal, put up against the wall, fingerprinted, and given a mugshot.

00:03:00.400 Today is August 24th, 2023, Anno Domini.

00:03:04.900 Here's what people don't realize.

00:03:06.960 Let's set the stage.

00:03:08.000 The regime is now throwing every last thing they have at Trump and his allies, his supporters.

00:03:17.600 Every last thing.

00:03:19.280 It's daunting.

00:03:20.580 But if we prevail in this twilight struggle, America can and will be saved.

00:03:31.620 All the forces of destruction we'll have left is their hiding places in the shadows, and

00:03:37.640 we will go to root every single one of them out.

00:03:41.140 We will find them wherever they're hiding.

00:03:42.960 And if they take Trump off the ballot or do something else to take Trump out physically,

00:03:52.640 we are right back where we started.

00:03:56.680 No other candidate would ever choose to enter, let alone finish this fight.

00:04:05.500 This is the great fight of which we are in right now.

00:04:11.680 We've been locked in this struggle for nearly a decade at this point, and it can be summed

00:04:19.100 up in one succinct phrase.

00:04:22.940 Did you really think they would let you take your country back?

00:04:27.600 Did you really think they would sit back and do nothing?

00:04:34.260 Look, I watched the debate last night.

00:04:36.060 We did a great stream.

00:04:37.900 Myself, Charlie Kirk, the whole gang.

00:04:40.460 And then I watched the Tucker-Trump debate or, you know, discussion this morning, watched

00:04:47.220 clips of it last night, and I have to say, they're sitting up there talking about school

00:04:54.080 choice and tax policy and all these other things, while the front runner, the leader of

00:05:01.400 the opposition, is about to be arrested.

00:05:03.520 It's like planning your Sunday brunch when you know there's a Category 5 hurricane that's

00:05:11.120 about to hit on Saturday.

00:05:13.500 Wake up.

00:05:14.840 What are these Republicans thinking?

00:05:17.580 They're sitting up there campaigning like it's the 1980s.

00:05:20.800 They're sitting up there acting like the regime will just waltz away if they feed them Trump,

00:05:27.080 if they give them Trump.

00:05:28.660 Do you even understand they're not threatened by you?

00:05:34.600 They think you're weak. 1.00

00:05:36.260 They think you're pathetic. 1.00

00:05:37.940 They understand that you know what's going on. 1.00

00:05:41.560 They don't expect you to believe it.

00:05:44.880 They expect you to do nothing about it.

00:05:49.020 And what do you see from these other Republicans?

00:05:51.100 They do nothing.

00:05:52.720 Empty platitudes, attack lines here and there, and they do nothing.

00:05:56.680 I'll tell you something right here, we are going to do something today.

00:06:00.120 We've got a jam-packed show.

00:06:01.460 Ben Burquam is on the ground, Fulton County.

00:06:03.960 We're going to have Libby Evans. 1.00

00:06:05.120 We have Darren Beattie, Vish Burra.

00:06:07.280 We are going to have so many people coming on today because this is the centerpiece.

00:06:12.400 We are on the front lines of the fight for our American freedom.

00:06:17.940 Do you want your country back or not?

00:06:20.500 I rode with bloods and them boys had a saying.

00:06:29.620 You can't be listening to all that slappy, whack, trimatozolitzabam ship, nippy-bam-bam,

00:06:35.000 like Human Events with Jack Posobiec.

00:06:37.040 All right, back here, Jack Posobiec live.

00:06:42.760 We've got our cameras down, Fulton County.

00:06:44.720 But first, I want to tell you a little bit about today's episode's sponsor.

00:06:49.360 Because aren't you sick and tired of the web of lies being smug by the Biden government,

00:06:55.760 concealing the truth about inflation, the value of our dollar?

00:06:58.420 I am certain that market volatility fills you with worry, casting doubt on our ability

00:07:02.940 to retire comfortably.

00:07:04.240 I urge you to look for a secure and reliable investment option for your retirement.

00:07:10.060 Imagine a future where your retirement is protected from the storms of volatility,

00:07:13.700 the erosive forces of inflation, recession, government meddling, and economic uncertainty.

00:07:18.240 Imagine retiring with peace of mind and the freedom to pursue your own dreams.

00:07:22.080 That future, dear friends, can become reality, courtesy of Allegiance Gold.

00:07:26.220 Why?

00:08:41.280 I want to go down now to Fulton County.

00:08:43.320 We've got Ben Burkwam who's on the ground.

00:08:45.260 Things are heating up, Ben.

00:08:46.940 Tell us what you're seeing.

00:08:47.960 Tell us what you're feeling.

00:08:51.360 Yeah, hey, just a second ago, actually, right when we started the show, one of the other

00:08:55.320 news outlets was live over here, and we had Harrison Floyd, one of the 19 co-defendants

00:08:59.880 or 18 co-defendants, Black Voices for Trump.

00:09:02.540 He came up, jumped over this barricade you can see here, and got in front of the camera.

00:09:06.500 He said that the DA was not letting him in to turn himself in.

00:09:09.980 He was upset.

00:09:10.900 It's hot out here.

00:09:11.760 It's in the 90s.

00:09:12.540 It's 100% humidity.

00:09:13.840 Everyone's sweating.

00:09:14.460 Everyone's hot.

00:09:15.040 Everyone's pissed.

00:09:15.980 I mean, you see what's going on here.

00:09:17.400 We've got several hundred Trump supporters up the street here.

00:09:21.100 They've barricaded them into kind of a corral.

00:09:23.560 You've got more Trump supporters across the street on the other side, just trying to stay

00:09:27.640 cool.

00:09:28.040 Everyone thought President Trump was going to show up earlier today, but now we're hearing that

00:09:32.880 it's probably going to be closer to six or seven, closer to prime time.

00:09:35.760 So we're covering it out here.

00:09:37.360 We did just get word that Mark Meadows has been given a bond, I think, of $100,000.

00:09:42.300 But bottom line is, all of this is, you know it, we know it, America sees it. 0.99

00:09:47.500 It's all political garbage. 0.99

00:09:49.360 It's all trying to stop President Trump. 1.00

00:09:51.560 And even the, as you played some of that from the debate last night, just an absolute sham

00:09:56.820 from the rhinos on the right as well.

00:09:59.800 You've got the establishment lined up with the far left trying to do everything they

00:10:04.740 can to stop President Trump because they know Joe Biden has no shot.

00:10:08.200 But I think it's bigger than that.

00:10:10.000 I think it's bigger than that.

00:10:10.960 Tell us a little bit.

00:10:12.360 Tell us a little bit about, no, I agree with you.

00:10:14.200 Tell us a little bit about the security situation.

00:10:15.740 I saw a video earlier.

00:10:16.680 It said they were filling these barricades behind you with water.

00:10:19.900 Is that correct?

00:10:20.440 What other kind of security do they have?

00:10:24.280 Yeah, they've got sheriffs, basically all of the streets that surround the jailhouse.

00:10:29.840 We're about half a mile from the actual jail.

00:10:32.460 It's as close as you can get.

00:10:33.820 There's two entrances, one behind me and one on the other side of the block.

00:10:39.900 This is all barricaded off.

00:10:41.740 They came in. 0.60

00:10:42.620 Basically, what they did is it seems like they put us into a bottleneck to set up this situation.

00:10:47.700 So you had Trump supporters over here.

00:10:49.280 This is where they said they were allowed to support, to protest and support of President Trump.

00:10:54.020 And then, but basically the media has set up all on the grass here.

00:10:57.560 So Trump supporters were walking back and forth on the road.

00:11:00.380 And then they said they couldn't be on the road.

00:11:01.960 So that seemed to be the justification to barricade everybody in.

00:11:05.980 And now we've got not just the local sheriffs, but we've got Cobb County sheriffs.

00:11:11.020 We've got several other jurisdictions that have joined in on this.

00:11:14.140 And again, it's like everything else.

00:11:15.620 It's to set the optics as if there's going to be some sort of violence, as if there's going to be some sort of situation.

00:11:23.920 And we know that in all of these situations, if that happens, it's usually perpetrated by the left.

00:11:28.800 But going back real quick, all of this, though, Jack, is not even about today.

00:11:33.220 It's not even about the election.

00:11:34.380 It's about setting the stage for when President Trump wins.

00:11:37.780 They know, I believe they know he will win, is for them to be able to send out Antifa, send out BLM into the streets, and to continue the civil war that they started in the first President Trump presidency.

00:11:48.740 Incredible. Ben Burkwam, great work.

00:11:51.520 Thank you so much for your time.

00:11:52.720 Thank you so much for your hit down there.

00:11:53.880 I want to bring in now Vish Burra, the Executive Secretary of New York Republican Club.

00:11:58.180 Vish, you and I were at the protest that was held up in New York.

00:12:04.680 We saw incredible levels of security.

00:12:06.780 But there's something about this one, man.

00:12:08.560 I don't know if you have the same feeling as me, but I feel like it's going to get hot in Atlanta today.

00:12:13.120 What are your thoughts?

00:12:14.720 Well, they don't call it Hotlanta for no reason, Jack.

00:12:17.240 I think that the temperatures are rising, and honestly, it is friendly territory for Trumpers and MAGA in Georgia, right?

00:12:25.460 And so I think you're going to see some energy there, and I think that the law enforcement in that area are getting ready for what they think is going to be a huge support, huge turnout for the President, for Donald Trump.

00:12:40.120 And they should be worried, honestly, not because there's going to be any violence or anything like that,

00:12:46.280 but because it is very clear to people in the MAGA movement, people in America, normal Americans everywhere, that this is an egregious political persecution, not prosecution, right?

00:12:59.480 And so I think that Americans everywhere are able to see clearly that Phony Willis, right, has been abusing the RICO mechanisms her whole career, 1.00

00:13:12.580 and now she's trying to cap her activist career with an indictment of Donald Trump. 1.00

00:13:21.840 And so I think it's clear as day that it's a political persecution, and instead of politically persecuting Donald Trump, you know, Phony Willis should be, you know, celebrating and having fun in Hotlanta's historic club scene, you know, partying to party monster by the weekend or something like that.

00:13:41.000 But she is way out of her league here. This is the most egregious and silly indictment out of all the indictments that President Trump has been slapped with.

00:13:49.400 And I think that, again, there is no hiding the brazen, heavy-handed nature of the regime as it speaks and acts through people like Phony Willis. 0.86

00:14:01.640 And I think that Americans are just, they're tired of it. And so they should, the regime should be expecting pushback.

00:14:08.600 I think that Georgia is going to expect pushback. 1.00

00:14:12.780 Well, and Vish, I said in the opening of the show today that when you look at this level, we do have a regime.

00:14:19.860 We are under a regime occupation. We're living through an era of regime politics.

00:14:24.980 I've been saying this since the installation of Joe Biden, saying for years at Turning Point Events and other events where I've spoken.

00:14:30.120 And yet it feels like these other candidates aren't even in the same conversation.

00:14:35.460 What is your sense of them holding this debate as if this isn't going on today?

00:14:40.600 Well, I think it's very, very clear that everybody on that stage, save for Vivek, maybe, do not.

00:14:47.100 They want Donald Trump in the past, right? They want to forget about him, move on.

00:14:53.060 They want to create the meme that Donald Trump is, you know, the GOP of the past or something. 0.95

00:15:00.120 And that is, it's disgusting, to be quite honest. None of those people would be even,

00:15:05.680 oh, well, so many of those people wouldn't even be up there if it wasn't for Donald Trump.

00:15:09.180 And this is how they repay him? By going up on stage and debating for his job?

00:15:14.320 No. This is disgusting. And I think that, obviously, there's donor pressures that are happening. 0.87

00:15:20.040 I think that a lot of these guys are, have an outdated mentality on what politics in America is today.

00:15:28.420 And so, you know, date the light, we say it all the time, but, you know, rinse, rinse, wash, rinse, repeat.

00:15:34.880 You know, you have to know what time it is, what time it is right now.

00:15:38.660 The regime is coming for us. The regime is coming for our children.

00:15:43.220 You know, people are always worried about whether, you know, the $30 trillion in debt that we have, you know, who's going to pay that off?

00:15:51.080 And we say, you know, it's our kids, our grandkids and all these things.

00:15:53.700 But think about also our rights, our freedom, our sovereignty, our ability to express freely, you know, our thoughts, our words, and being able to associate with whoever we want.

00:16:07.780 These are all the things that are under attack that might be even more precious than the material things that we stand to lose with this incompetent and runaway regime.

00:16:17.220 Our rights, our freedoms, our sovereignty is all at stake. And all of this is defined in this flashpoint under the indictment with Donald Trump and other Republicans, any Republican in the future trying to run for office, big or small, has to know what time it is.

00:16:36.020 And those are the people that we're looking for. Those are the people that we're fighting with. And those are the people that we're going to help elect into office.

00:16:42.900 Yeah, man, you know, Vish, I saw Chris Christie up there and this guy, I'm like, Chris Christie, this dude's running as a Fed.

00:16:48.980 He's going right back to his Fed ways, talking about how he's the top cop, talking about how he's a prosecutor.

00:16:54.900 Look, that's exactly, he is angling, I'm convinced now, he is angling for a position as attorney general for one of these anti-Trump candidates, or dare I say it, attorney general under a Democrat.

00:17:07.700 Last minute, Vish Burrow, what do you think?

00:17:09.020 Well, I think that if you want to consider Chris Christie a top cop, just look at the last guy that Chris Christie helped put into a top cop-like position, like Christopher Wray of the Trenton Mafia.

00:17:24.760 If Christopher Wray is an example of the kind of top cop that Chris Christie would be, I think we are in big, big trouble, and it's bigger than Chris Christie's waistline, I promise.

00:17:35.300 Vish, where can people go to follow you, where can they go to get all the spicy takes?

00:17:41.200 You can follow me on Twitter, at Vish Burrow, that's mainly where you can find me, Truth Social, at Vish, and yeah, follow me, all my spicy takes, and Jack, thank you so much for having me on, love your show, man, love the work you do, you're great.

00:17:56.160 Appreciate it, brother.

00:17:58.100 I'll see you soon.

00:17:58.840 All right, Vish Burrow, we go now.

00:18:00.540 Darren Beattie will be joining us in the very next segment.

00:18:03.600 We've got Ben Burquam live in hot Lana.

00:18:06.760 We're teeting up.

00:18:07.700 You know, Atlanta, Fulton County, same headquarters as CNN.

00:18:11.940 CNN headquartered right down the street from the Fulton County Jail.

00:18:15.540 Remember, folks, there are no coincidences.

00:18:18.160 Talk about influencers.

00:18:25.100 These are influencers, and they're friends of mine, Jack Posobiec.

00:18:30.840 Where's Jack?

00:18:32.740 He's done a great job.

00:18:36.300 All right, Jack Posobiec back live here.

00:18:38.580 I'm in D.C.

00:18:39.440 We've got our cameras down there watching the Fulton County Jail.

00:18:42.680 We've got, of course, Ben Burquam on the scene.

00:18:44.740 We've got a little bit of video before we bring Darren Beattie in here of a gentleman

00:18:49.280 who spoke to freedomnews.tv earlier today.

00:18:53.480 Let's play that clip.

00:18:54.640 I'm here to support President Trump.

00:18:56.940 You want to know why I'm here to support President Trump?

00:18:59.220 Because they done did black men like this for decades, make up charges and put them. 0.88

00:19:03.820 So I know Trump is innocent.

00:19:05.580 I support Trump against this corrupt, two-tiered justice system.

00:19:10.080 That's why I'm here to show my support as a black man for Trump.

00:19:12.860 I mean, I'm wearing my shirt for Trump 2024, and I mean that.

00:19:17.220 What do you think about the indictments? 1.00

00:19:18.940 Oh, it's a bunch of bullshit. 1.00

00:19:20.360 It's going around the country. 1.00

00:19:21.820 You know, Fannie Willis, she went to school with my sister. 1.00

00:19:25.600 She was full of shit then. 1.00

00:19:27.340 So she's a puppet for the white liberal that is controlling everything. 1.00

00:19:32.660 She's in front, but the white liberal back there pulling those strings, telling her what to do. 1.00

00:19:36.640 Gotta say, that's the kind of energy I feel right there.

00:19:40.800 That's the kind of energy America is feeling right now.

00:19:43.540 Let's see what kind of energy Darren Beattie is feeling.

00:19:45.940 So Darren, we watched that debate last night.

00:19:48.840 I actually haven't said anything about it yet here on the show.

00:19:51.620 I will say one thing, just because it must be said.

00:19:55.560 For me, the biggest issue of the debate was that Ron DeSantis needed to have a breakout moment.

00:20:01.020 He didn't.

00:20:01.800 It's a home run derby.

00:20:03.700 This isn't just batting practice.

00:20:05.900 So maybe he got on base.

00:20:07.480 There were no home runs.

00:20:08.840 Did he have any moment that stood out?

00:20:10.640 Yes, he did have a moment that stood out.

00:20:12.560 It was the moment when he looked around to see who was raising their hand before he raised his own.

00:20:19.600 That's the type of moment in a debate where the sort of voters look around or they're eyeing up these candidates.

00:20:27.680 That's the kind of thing that you can't shake.

00:20:29.420 That's the kind of thing where your mettle is tested and the scripts go away.

00:20:34.760 The talking points go away.

00:20:36.000 The super PAC coaching goes away.

00:20:37.520 And it's just up to you.

00:20:39.440 And in that moment, he looked around to wait for permission before he took action.

00:20:44.620 I don't think that's something voters can shake.

00:20:47.400 But Mr. Ramaswamy also, I think, really did shake a lot of people's perceptions of the race.

00:20:53.520 Darren Beattie, what's your take?

00:20:54.340 I completely agree.

00:20:57.660 That was the big moment.

00:20:59.820 The big moment for DeSantis was his moment of indecision.

00:21:05.260 And that, I think, tells us what we need to know about his leadership characteristics.

00:21:10.040 I just find it surprising that he was looking around to the other candidates and not to his donors in the audience.

00:21:16.120 But maybe he wants to see whether he has cover to do it when the other candidates are raising their hand or not.

00:21:25.260 But it was embarrassing.

00:21:27.200 I think he had a lot of bizarre facial tics that may be superficial.

00:21:31.700 But, again, things are so scripted and so rehearsed in these debates that you have to look to these micro-tells or these sort of honest signals to get any meaningful information about people.

00:21:45.620 And sometimes, you know, it's the most important type of information, like indecision that you mentioned.

00:21:51.140 And I think Vivek is another big story of this debate.

00:21:55.580 He's the only person on stage with anything remotely interesting to say or who represents anything remotely interesting.

00:22:02.220 He's sort of the millennial, tech-inflected, meritocratic answer to the system that we have now, which there could be many worse answers.

00:22:16.400 And he's testing out something fairly new, I think, in politics that people find refreshing.

00:22:22.920 He enjoys himself, as people say.

00:22:25.360 It's kind of fun to see him, fun to watch him enjoying himself.

00:22:29.220 And other than Vivek, everything was so stale, so boring, so rehearsed, and such a poignant reminder of what politics was like before Trump and what politics will look like after Trump.

00:22:45.520 And hopefully after Trump, we're going to have, you know, some more years, another term with him.

00:22:50.340 But there will, unfortunately, be an after Trump, and this is a glimpse to the future of what that's going to look like.

00:22:56.760 Very bleak and uninspiring.

00:22:58.280 And I don't think it's an accident that Vivek, who comparatively is the most interesting thing on the stage, is the guy who comes from outside of the GOP apparatus, just like Trump did.

00:23:10.740 The GOP apparatus cultivates the boring mediocrity as you could possibly imagine.

00:23:17.080 It's almost Nietzschean in the sense that Nietzsche, of course, famously talked about the overman, but he also talked about the last man.

00:23:27.600 And this, this grasp for mediocrity, this grasp for safety and security and the community and the confines of essentially nothing, no self-actualization whatsoever.

00:23:40.740 Darren, you had a series of tweets referring to cattle slop last night.

00:23:44.920 What did you mean by cattle slop?

00:23:46.900 Well, we should go tweet by tweet, but generally speaking, it's exactly the same of kind of not just intellectually, but spiritually soporific content that's designed to just keep people in a state of political and mental and cultural stupor.

00:24:09.700 It's the kind of content that you see fed out and doled out on Fox News routinely.

00:24:17.080 And it's the kind of bromides that you hear in debates.

00:24:20.380 Again, it's just not that there's anything wrong with the Constitution.

00:24:24.320 We all love the Constitution.

00:24:25.460 But when you have another empty suit, who has never taken any real risks in his life, who has never challenged the system in any meaningful way, say, I'm going to defend the Constitution.

00:24:38.820 What does that mean?

00:24:40.120 Or say, I'm going to cut federal spending by X percent.

00:24:44.780 This kind of boring stuff that's meant to just lead a crowd of zombies, that's cattle slop. 0.99

00:24:57.820 It's regressing back to the mean of empty, boring bromides that have defined the rhetoric of Republican politics for so long up until Trump.

00:25:12.220 That's my best characterization of what cattle slop is.

00:25:18.080 If I wanted to be a little bit meaner, I would say cattle slop is your typical hour with Sean Hannity.

00:25:25.400 I couldn't agree more, you know, and even these platitudes of, oh, it's the Bidens.

00:25:33.200 We're going to go after the Bidens.

00:25:34.740 We've got to find the next TikTok.

00:25:36.700 And you saw, by the way, and Hannity, and let's point this out, throughout the Trump administration, the indictments are coming.

00:25:44.260 Two more weeks.

00:25:45.660 Tick tock.

00:25:46.580 Here they come.

00:25:47.500 It's going to be just right around the corner.

00:25:49.620 And first it was, remember, Jeff Sessions was going to swing in from the rafters.

00:25:53.800 And then it was going to be the secret Durham, Durham's going to come in.

00:25:58.180 And then finally Barr was brought in and none of it came to pass.

00:26:02.460 Meanwhile, so many years were squandered away rather than fighting for immigration, rather than fighting to do something about the cartels fighting against various implements of America's deep state.

00:26:17.520 Instead, we're left with these goose chases, we're left with these constant strings of inanities rather than solving actual policy questions.

00:26:28.260 And I think that's why the regime has targeted Trump the way that they have, because he is the only one that fundamentally asks questions about trade, foreign policy, and immigration.

00:26:39.360 As far as I can tell, the other candidates don't, with the exception of Vivek, who is at least trying out different things.

00:26:45.820 And I appreciate that he's willing to go after certain Republican shibboleths, like foreign aid in some instances, like, and clearly, what did you think of his vote or his statement on Ukraine, which I think was even far further than Trump is going on it, really?

00:27:00.260 I mean, I think it was entirely sensible, and it was something that is much needed as part of the discourse in a presidential debate.

00:27:09.220 And again, it's something that wouldn't have been there had it not been for Vivek, the only person on stage who wasn't cultivated under the auspices of institutional Republicanism, which is, you know, where any kind of bit of originality or charisma goes to die.

00:27:27.120 So I think we need these as part of the conversation. Vivek is encouraging. It's a far cry from Trump. It's just a different phenomenon entirely.

00:27:41.640 And I fear it's just a once in a generation type thing, and we're not going to see anything like Trump after Trump goes.

00:27:48.520 But that's the way it is. At least we could have Vivek. It's something that's new and refreshing, because it's just hard to listen to these people like Nikki Haley, like Mike Pence.

00:28:00.760 We've just seen this over and over and over and over, and we know that it signifies nothing.

00:28:06.620 Well, and I think there is a huge generational divide here, and that's something that you're seeing Pence tap into, though perhaps incorrectly when he says, oh, you were in grade school when 9-11 happened.

00:28:23.260 I was on Capitol Hill. Yeah, that was 22 years ago. That makes you sound old, right?

00:28:29.180 That's like, you know, coming up in the 2000s, talking about the Vietnam War, and it's nothing against that. 0.97

00:28:35.460 But it's also a situation where they seem to have not realized that the country has shifted under their feet since then,

00:28:43.000 and economic issues right now really are the massive driver of voter turnout and the massive driver of our politics.

00:28:51.640 Because when people can't afford to put food on their table or food in the collection plate, those are the issues that they're going to vote on, not who's in control of the Donbass.

00:29:03.440 Exactly. And, you know, I think it's always kind of been that way.

00:29:07.380 I think foreign policy has always sort of been a niche issue. It's always been about the economy, and Trump understands this, and it's reflected in his messaging.

00:29:18.160 I think to a degree, you know, Vivek understands this as well, but, you know, the basic conditions of life, the basic conditions of livelihood, of maintaining a first-world lifestyle,

00:29:30.720 these are all under existential threat in the United States, so it would have been nice to ask one question from the moderators about, okay,

00:29:46.960 what are we going to do in response to the fact that the Department of Justice is entirely weaponized against GOP politically?

00:29:53.880 What's your answer to that? Would have been nice to have one question like that, but again, it sounded so much like these old GOP debates that you'd hear, you know, in the early 2000s.

00:30:06.980 Darren, we are coming up on the break here. Darren, thank you so much for your time today. Where can people go to follow the latest at Revolver?

00:30:15.280 Revolver.news, as always, and we're on Twitter, at Darren J. Beattie, and that's where you go.

00:30:25.620 Make sure you go to follow Revolver, because I want to find out more about the fence cutter. We're going to learn a lot about the fence cutter, and Darren Beattie is hot on the trail.

00:30:36.140 Stay tuned. We go back to Ben Berquam. We go back to Fulton County. Libby Emmons will be joining us. Human Events continues.

00:30:42.700 It's getting hot in Hotlanta. President Trump, his mugshot, will be coming soon.

00:30:51.700 I hear about the boring people at your office. I'm trying to listen to the new human events with Jack Posobiec.

00:31:00.500 All right, Jack Posobiec, back here. You're looking now at a live shot of the Fulton County Jailhouse, where President Trump will be arriving.

00:31:09.700 I'm told, by the way, that he plans to take off from New Jersey around 6 p.m. to land in Atlanta there about 7, 7.30 p.m. Eastern.

00:31:22.260 And so that means we're just about five hours away from his arrival. It'll be later this evening.

00:31:29.340 President Trump, of course, scheduling his appearance, his date with destiny, in prime time.

00:31:35.540 I want to bring on now Libby Emmons, the editor-in-chief of humanevents.com and the Post Millennial.

00:31:41.560 Libby, it's been a minute. How are you?

00:31:44.520 I'm good, Jack. How are you?

00:31:46.580 What is your take on the debate last night? I know you and I were talking on the phone late last night, early this morning.

00:31:53.700 Give us your sense. And I ask this as someone who comes to this, who's, you know, you're not necessarily a dyed-in-the-wool Trump supporter.

00:32:01.340 I do consider you to be more objective on this. What was your sense? Did DeSantis do what he needed to do to solidify his position as the top alternative to Trump?

00:32:14.180 No, he did not. He did not do that. And I think that that was shockingly clear. He was part of the background.

00:32:20.340 The person who really stepped into the limelight and was able to shine was Vivek Ramaswamy, who stepped out with confidence.

00:32:28.520 He knew exactly what he was talking about. He knew what he wanted to say.

00:32:31.580 He said it and he got done exactly, I believe, what he intended to do.

00:32:37.100 Everyone else just fell into the background next to his decisive takes and, you know, very confident stance.

00:32:46.100 DeSantis was running on his record. He's got a great record in Florida. We all know that. We've all seen that.

00:32:54.080 But again, he did not seem particularly decisive. There was a moment when it was, you know, the moderators did a lot of raise your hand if you support this or that.

00:33:04.520 And there was a moment where DeSantis looked around to see who else was raising their hand before he put his hand up.

00:33:14.340 And that's it. That's a moment right there. And he looks just incredibly weak for doing that.

00:33:19.720 Why would you look around to see what other people are doing before you know what you're going to do?

00:33:23.760 That's certainly not something that we should be seeing from a man who wants to be the leader of the United States and, in essence, the free world, as we're so used to saying.

00:33:33.200 Well, I think that's exactly right, because, look, these are the kind of moments that define you.

00:33:40.740 Everybody remembers in 2015 when they asked, are there any people on the stage who will not support the eventual nominee?

00:33:50.020 And Donald Trump was the only man who raised his hand.

00:33:53.900 And so you can say this is a gotcha question. You can say it's a gotcha moment.

00:33:57.620 I do think that Fox was a little bit too CNN-ish in their questioning.

00:34:03.040 But at the same time, you have to follow – you agreed to do the debate, dude.

00:34:07.760 You agreed to do the debate. So if you're going to be there, you have to be under their rules.

00:34:12.420 That's the system. Raise your hand or not.

00:34:15.040 And I think that juxtaposition of the decisiveness of Vivek versus the indecisiveness of Ron DeSantis is going to be absolutely devastating for Ron DeSantis.

00:34:29.320 And I agree. I thought about it last night.

00:34:32.020 I tweeted this, that I think you're going to see Vivek Ramaswamy see an absolute spike in the polls after this.

00:34:38.240 Yeah.

00:34:38.640 And to your point, what do you think of Vivek?

00:34:41.540 Yeah, I think he's really interesting.

00:34:43.780 He certainly moves the conversation in a way that I think is important.

00:34:47.420 I appreciate how strongly he comes out against continuing the war effort to fund that war effort in Ukraine.

00:34:53.700 I appreciate that very much.

00:34:54.980 I think he also knows how important Trump supporters and Trump voters are to any GOP nominee.

00:35:03.960 And he goes out there and says that he supports Trump.

00:35:07.100 He speaks directly against the weaponization of the DOJ that has been levied at not only Trump, but Trump supporters, which we have seen in Michigan with the arrest of the electors, which I believe Tony Evers wants to do in Wisconsin as well.

00:35:22.040 Which we have seen with the prosecution of the little guy at Mar-a-Lago, who, you know, the maintenance guys and the IT guy and this kind of thing.

00:35:31.800 So I appreciate that Vivek has been coming out very strongly supporting Trump and in so doing saying that he is a supporter of Trump voters, which is important.

00:35:43.080 I know that DeSantis has come under fire for saying unkind things about Trump voters and voters, and I think that that's a real mistake.

00:35:52.380 Trump voters make up a huge part of the voting base of this party, and it's important to embrace them.

00:35:58.600 Also, Vivek has a little bit more to say about, you know, again.

00:36:04.420 Well, actually, wait, Libby, Libby, wait.

00:36:06.180 Don't bury the lead there, as Steve would say, because he didn't just say negative things.

00:36:11.940 He referred to listless vessels.

00:36:13.800 He said, you can't just be waiting to see whatever comes down the pike from Truth Social before you make a decision. 0.96

00:36:21.220 Oh, really?

00:36:21.860 You mean like a guy who's looking around on stage to see whether or not he should raise his hand, like that kind of listless vessel?

00:36:28.380 Yeah, I'd really hate to be in front of millions of people and have a moment like that, especially if I were a sitting governor with hundreds of millions of dollars backing me that I'm setting on fire all around the country.

00:36:43.660 I'd really hate to have a moment where I looked like a listless vessel.

00:36:49.740 Sorry, go ahead.

00:36:50.320 No, by all means. 1.00

00:36:52.140 You know, that brings up another point, which is that Ron DeSantis, in saying those things about Trump supporters, is really just repeating what so many in corporate media and coastal elites like to say about the rest of the country, which is that they like to say that Americans are stupid. 1.00

00:37:07.800 And I think that's absolutely insane. 1.00

00:37:10.180 Americans are not stupid. 0.99

00:37:11.500 Americans are intelligent. 0.99

00:37:12.820 They know what they're after.

00:37:14.020 They know what they think.

00:37:15.300 They are critical thinkers, and it's time to stop deriding all of these people out in the rest of the country just because you think you're better than them.

00:37:23.720 And I think that the DeSantis campaign has shown time and again that they think they're better than the rest of America.

00:37:29.200 And that's not really something that I'm in favor of, for sure.

00:37:33.720 What did you think about this debate?

00:37:36.080 Now, I'll ask you as a mom here.

00:37:37.800 What did you think about this dust-up between Pence and Ramaswamy vis-a-vis military aid to Ukraine, our commitment to NATO, the war in Ukraine?

00:37:48.940 What side of that did you come down on?

00:37:51.760 Well, I'm a very anti-war person, and I'm even more anti-war now that my son is 13, and he's got only five years before he has to register for Selective Service.

00:38:00.080 And I have no interest in seeing him get carted off to Europe to die in the battlefields to protect the border of some country that has nothing to do with us, especially while our borders are totally overrun.

00:38:10.780 New York City is getting totally destroyed, decimated by this massive influx of illegal immigration, and I think that it's really a travesty. 0.76

00:38:18.380 I appreciated what Vivek was saying about not participating further in a war in Ukraine, and I thought that Pence just looks like a fool going out there and saying that if we don't—one thing that he said was that if we don't stop Putin now, U.S. armed forces would have to go over there and fight.

00:38:36.900 And we already have U.S. armed services in Ukraine.

00:38:42.040 We have, you know, special services, special forces, rather, stationed in the embassy there.

00:38:49.340 We have Americans giving Ukrainian military people instructions on how to use the weapons that we keep sending, the billions and billions of dollars of weapons that we keep sending.

00:38:59.960 We have them training Ukrainian pilots to fly our fighter jets, which, if anyone recalls, Biden promised to not do, saying that that would lead to World War III.

00:39:10.820 So you have Biden out there dragging us to World War III, and you have Pence, who clearly wants to follow in Biden's footsteps and make sure that nothing stops us from engaging in a full-on war with Russia.

00:39:22.800 And as soon as we're out there with Russia, which is another thing that Vivek said, you know, we're pushing Russia and China into each other's arms, and then what, are we going to have a two-front war defending Ukraine on one side and Taiwan on the other?

00:39:34.880 Is that what we're really after?

00:39:36.320 According to Mike Pence, that's probably the right move.

00:39:39.360 I am totally opposed to that entire concept.

00:39:43.420 Tell us how you really feel, Libby.

00:39:45.360 Tell us how you really feel.

00:39:47.200 Don't hold back.

00:39:48.260 No, I agree with you.

00:39:49.780 And we've spoken of, so many times, Mearsheimer's warning, and that's exactly what you refer to, a two-front war in which we've driven.

00:40:00.340 And now, look, we can see it today, right?

00:40:03.320 The assassination of Purgosian, that was, by the way, the ending of the family business, the settling of family business between Putin and Purgosian.

00:40:12.880 At the same time, concurrent with the award ceremony of the Yasha Tank crew and the meeting of the BRICS nations in South Africa, where Saudi Arabia, where Iran, where the UAE, the Gulf nations, are all joining together against what?

00:40:31.520 Against the Petrodollar, against King Dollar. 0.97

00:40:34.920 They're looking at us saying, we don't want to be part of the carnival, the circus, chopping the penises off of little kids. 1.00

00:40:42.860 We don't want anything to, chopping the breasts off of little girls. 1.00

00:40:45.540 We want nothing to do with this. 0.99

00:40:46.940 Okay, we're out of there.

00:40:47.980 We're done.

00:40:48.700 And you know what?

00:40:49.700 The foreign policy establishment seems like they want to do everything to get us into that war.

00:40:54.920 Stay tuned, because we're going to come back with more Libby Emmons.

00:40:58.320 We're also going to get Ben Berkman back from down there in Fulton County.

00:41:01.420 We have to understand, it is getting hot in Hotlanta.

00:41:06.220 What will the regime do next to stop Trump from taking office?

00:41:10.800 There is a Category 5 hurricane coming, and these people want to act like we're planning Sunday brunch.

00:41:19.840 I'm always listening to Human Events with Jack Posobiec.

00:41:22.660 All right, Jack Posobiec back here live.

00:41:27.280 You're seeing the shot there, Fulton County, Georgia.

00:41:30.760 We know, folks, we know that when President Trump arrives, it'll be at 7 p.m. hour Eastern, just about four hours time.

00:41:38.340 That's when we're going to see protesters deployed.

00:41:40.980 That's when we're going to keep in mind, this is not far at all from where the Treehouse Antifa,

00:41:45.660 Antifa, they were launched against Stop Cop City, this huge Antifa embankment and ring,

00:41:54.880 basically a cell operating outside of Atlanta.

00:41:57.760 Now it's getting hot.

00:41:58.880 It's hot down there.

00:41:59.740 We got Ben Berkman down live on the scene.

00:42:02.460 Ben, what can you tell us?

00:42:03.620 What are you seeing?

00:42:04.200 What's it like?

00:42:04.720 Well, as you mentioned, as you were talking about that, I just turned behind me and I saw the law enforcement pulling out their riot shield.

00:42:14.640 So they're obviously preparing for something.

00:42:16.680 There's really nothing going on here other than some healthy vocal arguments back and forth.

00:42:22.380 People on both sides of the issue, the vast majority of people that are here right now are in favor of President Trump.

00:42:28.620 But as you mentioned, this is a hotbed for Antifa and BLM activity.

00:42:32.040 It's very likely that they could end up showing up.

00:42:34.640 And so I don't know if that's what that's for or if it's just the optics that, you know, Trump supporters are are violent,

00:42:39.960 what the left wants to portray them as when we all know that's that's not the truth.

00:42:43.200 But as you said, we're still hearing somewhere around the seven o'clock hour is when he's anticipated showing up.

00:42:49.600 Now, when you said those heated back and forth, are we talking between protesters and counter protesters or are people getting into it with the police?

00:42:58.280 No, no, protesters and counter protesters.

00:43:00.580 So you've got and what's interesting right now, there's a group across the street of about 40 and they're mostly black, local blacks that from the black community here.

00:43:09.780 And you have some on the pro Trump side and some on the anti Trump side.

00:43:13.580 And they're arguing back and forth.

00:43:14.960 And it's actually really interesting to hear the arguments and to see that shift taking place.

00:43:18.720 One of the things I noticed when I arrived, please tell me you're getting audio of that, man.

00:43:22.280 You know, there I did.

00:43:25.900 I actually did.

00:43:26.520 I'll send it over to you as soon as I get it, as soon as I upload it.

00:43:29.700 And they're telling me that basically they're treating President Trump the way we've been treated for so long.

00:43:34.520 The injustice that we've experienced is what they're doing to President Trump.

00:43:37.680 So really interesting dynamic happening here.

00:43:40.120 I want to hear it all, Ben.

00:43:42.540 Thank you so much for being there on the ground.

00:43:44.660 I want to stay safe, man.

00:43:46.380 Stay warm, hydrate, stay cool.

00:43:48.520 Rather, I should say Libby Emmons, bring it back in here.

00:43:51.900 Libby, let's juxtapose this, because I said before, it's like it's like the hurricane is coming.

00:43:57.740 These people are talking about Sunday brunch.

00:43:59.720 Why was the weaponization of the regime against Trump not made a larger talking point last night?

00:44:08.880 Well, I think that was up to Fox, wasn't it?

00:44:11.640 And Fox was feeling a little, well, I guess the term is butthurt, about having lost out a substantial portion of their viewership to the Tucker Carlson interview of Trump, which premiered on X, formerly known as Twitter.

00:44:26.460 I'd rather just call it Twitter, but whatever.

00:44:28.080 Anyway, I think that was part of it.

00:44:30.240 Twitter by X.

00:44:30.760 We'll do Twitter by X.

00:44:32.220 Twitter by X.

00:44:33.560 Twitter by X.

00:44:34.180 Yeah, so you had Mark McCallum and Brett Baer asking questions about the potential weaponization of the Department of Justice against Trump.

00:44:45.100 And people did answer it, but it was just another question as part of this debate.

00:44:52.420 Now, what's interesting about that is that there has been a distinct attempt to normalize the prosecution of Donald Trump, who faces some 600 years in prison if he were convicted on all of these charges spanning four states, right?

00:45:06.880 You have New York, Georgia, the DOJ prosecuting him in federal court in Florida and also federal court in Washington, D.C.

00:45:14.400 I think that it's important for the American people to never forget that this has never happened before.

00:45:21.040 We have never seen a president prosecuted.

00:45:23.200 We have never seen a former president prosecuted.

00:45:25.640 Richard Nixon was pardoned famously by Gerald Ford, who came after him.

00:45:30.920 So this is a huge deal.

00:45:33.080 And I think that it's really a shame that Fox downplayed it so much.

00:45:36.960 When you looked at the interview that Tucker and Trump had, Trump talked about this.

00:45:43.040 He talked about how Fox is no longer really a friendly network for him and that, you know, he didn't go to the debate because he's so far ahead in the polls.

00:45:51.480 And also, why would he put himself out there for everyone to just take target practice when, as you've said multiple times, no one has really earned a shot at the title, which I think is also apparent.

00:46:02.740 Last night, these men were all vying for, well, men plus Nikki Haley, who, did you notice, she kept using being female as part of her credentials?

00:46:13.300 It's like wrong stage.

00:46:14.540 Wrong stage, Nikki.

00:46:15.860 Just reminded me of the Barbie movie all over again.

00:46:18.480 We don't care about your innate identity factors.

00:46:21.300 We're here based on the merits of these candidates.

00:46:24.600 Yeah, everyone was clearly vying for second place.

00:46:27.200 Well, I was going to say that not only that, it's fine, it's what we have you on for.

00:46:31.000 It was the audience, too, right?

00:46:34.880 And Trump remembered the way that the RNC debates were stacked with donors, and that's exactly what they did.

00:46:41.020 They put the RNC donors in front of the microphones, and Tyler Boyer, who is an RNC member, was explaining it to us, that that's why when Vivek had that line about the climate change agenda being a hoax, you got booze.

00:46:56.560 You actually got booze from that at a Republican event, which is normally something that would be up there with, like, an abortion line that says, you know, I'm against abortion, boo?

00:47:06.700 Like, no, absolutely not.

00:47:08.200 If Rush Limbaugh were around right now, by the way, he'd be doing his entire show just on that one audience reaction, because this crowd was a setup.

00:47:17.660 This was a planted crowd.

00:47:19.100 This is exactly what they did to Trump in 2015.

00:47:22.640 I think he remembered it, and I think he knew that it was not his crowd.

00:47:26.420 This is different, by the way, from the crowd you saw at that Iowa summit where Tucker and the Blaze ran the entire thing.

00:47:33.680 That is a true grassroots crowd.

00:47:37.460 Last moments, Libby Emmons, before we sign off.

00:47:39.700 Yeah, I think they, you know, I think that that's right.

00:47:43.120 This was not a crowd that was pro-Trump.

00:47:45.480 These men were buying for second place.

00:47:47.960 Nikki Haley should not go out there stumping on being female. 1.00

00:47:51.460 We all know you're a chick, Nikki. 0.83

00:47:53.020 It's okay.

00:47:53.840 Like, what have you done for me lately?

00:47:55.280 Your body is not the issue.

00:47:57.000 I think Vivek really stole the show.

00:47:59.160 And I am anxious to see how, going forward, these candidates deal with the fact that Trump is being prosecuted by his primary political opponent.

00:48:10.000 Joe Biden is prosecuting Donald Trump, no matter how many times he says the Department of Justice is independent.

00:48:15.760 We're seeing, just from the treatment of Hunter Biden by the Department of Justice, that the Department of Justice is skewed toward Biden and has been since Biden became the apparent nominee for the Democratic presidency in 2020.

00:48:31.640 So we've seen that quite clearly.

00:48:34.180 And I think that this cannot be normalized.

00:48:36.960 The arrest of Donald Trump in four states cannot be normalized.

00:48:42.380 It needs to be called out every step of the way.

00:48:44.980 As soon as we start saying that it's okay for one person to prosecute their political enemies, weaponizing the Department of Justice, none of us is safe in this country.

00:48:55.040 Couldn't agree more.

00:48:56.080 The way we fight back, start indicting them.

00:48:59.400 Start locking them up.

00:49:01.460 Let's get Ken Paxson out of this impeachment.

00:49:04.000 Let's go.

00:49:04.620 Let's start indicting as many Democrats as we can and as many red zones as we can.

00:49:09.400 And let's give them a little taste of their own medicine. 0.94

00:49:11.440 Ladies and gentlemen, as always, you have my permission to lay short.

00:49:14.980 Oh, thank you.

00:49:15.260 Let's go.

00:49:15.580 Let's go.

00:49:16.440 Let's go.
