00:00:40.580 For every lie they tell, we're going to get in their face and yell two truths.

00:00:45.640 This is human events with your host, Jack Posobiec. Deliver us from evil. This is an image that will

00:00:52.120 be in the history books. This is the mugshot of the 45th president of the United States, Donald J.

00:00:58.500 Trump, who surrendered himself at Fulton County Jail. History in the making as a former American 1.00

00:01:03.860 president is booked into county jail. And here is something we have never seen before.

00:01:08.600 A presidential mugshot taken inside that jail in Georgia. Authorities in Georgia releasing this

00:01:14.940 image of Donald Trump appearing defiant after he was processed in the Fulton County Jail.

00:01:20.480 Inmate number P01135809. That's how the former president is officially identified in Fulton

00:01:28.220 County Jail records. Criminal defendant and former president Donald J. Trump presumed innocent until

00:01:34.060 proven guilty in accordance with the rule of law for his sake and for ours. Governor, what do you think

00:01:39.640 about this split screen of you here in the field of dreams and former president Trump being arrested in

00:01:45.260 Georgia? Well, I'm glad I'm at the field of dreams. I'm happy to be here.

00:01:49.460 If you challenge an election, you should be able to challenge an election. I thought the election was

00:01:54.180 a rigged election, a stolen election. And I should have every right to do that. As you know, you have

00:01:59.580 many people that you've been watching over the years do the same thing, whether it's Hillary Clinton or

00:02:03.840 Stacey Abrams or many others. When you have that great freedom to challenge, you have to be able to,

00:02:11.240 otherwise you're going to have very dishonest elections. What has taken place here is a travesty of

00:02:15.960 justice. We did nothing wrong. I did nothing wrong. What they're doing is election interference.

00:02:20.480 They're trying to interfere with an election. There's never been anything like it in our country

00:02:25.740 before. This is their way of campaigning. And this is one instance, but you have three other instances.

00:02:32.120 It's election interference. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events with

00:02:39.260 Jack Posobiec. Today is August 25th, 2023. Anno Domini. Prisoner number P01135809. That's a prisoner

00:02:54.160 number P01135809. Let me tell you something. There's an old adage out there. Iron sharpens iron.

00:03:06.080 Pressure makes diamonds. Are you in this fight or are you standing on the sidelines? Are you commenting?

00:03:17.280 Is this something that you live for? Is this something that you breathe? Is this something

00:03:23.180 that you're willing to give your all for? Because that's what yesterday showed. When you walk straight

00:03:31.260 into the regime, pointing a gun in your face, a loaded gun and saying, I'm not backing down.

00:03:41.180 I'm not going anywhere because this is my country. This is my home and you are not going to take it 0.95

00:03:49.380 from us. You greedy little communist scum. You were never supposed to be in charge. 1.00

00:03:55.920 You tricked your way into getting there. And now we're going to root out every single last one of

00:04:03.380 you. There will be no shadows left for you to hide at the end. Over on the great substat conundrum

00:04:10.040 cluster, give you a line here about Trump's return to Twitter. What Trump's critics on the right never

00:04:17.620 seem to understand is that he provides the center of gravity for an entire new world of conservative

00:04:23.980 resistance to the decline. Strength breeds strength. Trump's defiant and determined expression is the

00:04:31.520 sort of signal that needs to be sent. This is much better than whatever it was that we saw on that

00:04:37.680 debate stage the other night, because I'm not interested in hearing your tax policy, your school

00:04:43.980 choice policy. Those are all important things. But right now we need to see pressure. I want to see

00:04:49.960 how you react to pressure. Are you the kind of person that folds? Are you the kind of person who

00:04:54.340 can't even stand up and put up your hand all the way? Can you not get it up, Ron DeSantis? Can you not

00:05:00.540 get it up, Chris Christie? Yeah, well, we found out who can't get it up. And I think we all know who can't

00:05:06.420 get it up now. And then you have a singular moment where the beacons are lit. The banners are called.

00:05:15.900 The signal is up. Are you ready for the fight of your lifetime? Are you ready for the final stand?

00:05:26.000 The final stand to take back the United States of America? Because I'm here to tell you right now, 0.56

00:05:32.700 right now that they have gone too far. They know it. Go look at Atlantic Magazine. Go look at all of them

00:05:38.240 today. They're losing it. They realize they scrub. Only phony Fanny could be so stupid as to let him get 1.00

00:05:45.900 mugshot and unleash the unbridled energy of this moment. And his final return, triumphant and defiant 1.00

00:05:56.900 to Twitter. The return of the dawn. Are you ready? Can you feel it? Because I'm going to tell you right

00:06:06.660 now, nothing can stop what is coming. We will never surrender. Never. Absolutely not. Come and take

00:06:18.880 every single one of us. And then boys had a saying. You can't be listening to all that slappy

00:06:31.160 whack, trim out as all it's a bam ship, nippy bam bam, like human events with Jack Posobiec.

00:06:36.760 All right, Jack Posobiec live, Washington DC. Folks, I'm serious about this. The surrender has been

00:06:47.120 canceled. The canceling has been canceled. We're digging in. We're fighting back. This is the hill

00:06:56.540 to die on. And in order to help us explain what exactly the state of play is, what the battle space

00:07:05.420 is now going forward. We've got a master strategist himself, Raheem Kassam of the National Pulse

00:07:11.720 joins us today. The editor in chief, Raheem. How are you feeling this morning after all that?

00:07:17.580 You know, relatively sanguine, Jack. This is something, of course, that so many of us had

00:07:22.800 seen coming, had been ready for. I do appreciate the commentary about the mainstream media melting down

00:07:30.420 over the mugshot and certainly melting down over the use of the mugshot, not just by the Trump campaign

00:07:36.000 and Trump himself and his return to X, formerly Twitter and so forth, because I think it just goes

00:07:43.260 to show you how little they understand about this situation, how little they are prepared for what's

00:07:50.420 going on at the moment. And I like that sort of thing. You know, I think it tells you a lot about

00:07:55.200 where they are versus where the country is versus versus where Marga is. And I think a lot of people

00:08:03.960 for a long time, they lopped. Right. They live action role played about Trump going to jail and

00:08:11.460 prosecuting him and locking him up and all of this stuff. And now that it's actually coming to pass,

00:08:17.560 I think a lot of people, including and not limited to your great friend, Jake Tapper and people at the

00:08:23.700 Atlantic magazine and so forth are sort of looking at this and going, oh, no, they're going to do it

00:08:30.880 to our side and they're going to do it way nastier. And we've set a precedent here that the, you know,

00:08:38.900 entropy rules apply to the toothpaste cannot now go back into the tube. So for me, is it, you know,

00:08:46.320 is it a chilling moment in American history? Certainly. Have, have, have we been ready for

00:08:51.860 a while now for this regime to cross the Rubicon? Yes.

00:08:58.280 Well, and, and with the return to Twitter with the, the outpouring that you saw last night, I mean,

00:09:03.800 I just have to say that the way they played this was fantastic. And even, even his remarks on the

00:09:08.360 tarmac, he did an interview last night, I thought they were fine, but it was really the way they played

00:09:13.320 this mugshot, the way that they played the, the stare, this sort of grizzly, uh, I'm, I'm coming to

00:09:20.320 get you. You have pushed me too far. You have gone too far. And I think that's something that where,

00:09:24.860 you know, when I go to, and I, I hear the, the DeSantis type saying, well, how is he going to win

00:09:29.680 independence? How is he going to win people that didn't vote for him in 2020? There you go. It's right

00:09:34.320 there. It's right exactly there because the things that these people have done to him, uh, in response

00:09:41.080 and his response to them are absolutely going to steal the show to your point. Um, they said,

00:09:47.980 Oh, the debate is going to reset the narrative. Just wait until Ron DeSantis starts debating.

00:09:52.340 Guess what? Donald Trump is the narrative at this point. He is the center of gravity of the entire

00:09:58.180 world. Um, and I, I honestly, you would have to only because I do this for a living. Could I even tell

00:10:04.420 you anything that happened on that debate stage? If I went up to, you know, some normie out there,

00:10:09.080 no, no clue whatsoever. But this map, this mugshot, I guarantee you, uh, I would, I'd go so far as to

00:10:15.820 say that over 51% of the people on the planet have seen this image at this point.

00:10:21.100 Yeah. And you know, I sort of resent a lot of the commentary about like, Oh, but you know,

00:10:27.180 why did they need the mugshot? He's obviously one of the most recognizable men in the world.

00:10:32.620 Uh, he is the single most recognizable man on this planet. And honestly, not just of this time.

00:10:41.280 You can, you can probably start working other eras and epochs in of human, uh, uh, civilization now

00:10:48.940 and thinking, okay, well, you know, Donald Trump now is, is far more recognizable, you know, to,

00:10:53.900 to, to weigh more people than Genghis Khan ever was or ever will be. Right. And you just,

00:10:59.440 you have to think about it through that. You'd have to go back to like the Roman emperors

00:11:03.020 and that, and only then because they were on the coins.

00:11:06.800 Right. Right. But, but, but far fewer people around at that time and far less of a historical

00:11:11.760 record, uh, than will be created from what's going on right now, simply from a, um, from a

00:11:16.500 technological, uh, perspective. So, so you've got to think of it like that. And we're living through

00:11:21.280 those times and we have close proximity. A lot of us to those times, you know, I woke up this

00:11:26.220 morning with, um, Donald Trump having sent the national pulse, not one, but two notes,

00:11:31.840 uh, handwritten notes about our reporting this morning. And you just think, wow, you know,

00:11:36.340 in amongst all of this, this man still has the, the content, uh, of his character to sit down with

00:11:42.380 a pen and say, Hey, I read this article. It was great. Thanks for doing this. You know, so on and

00:11:46.340 so forth. And you just think, you know, you're blown away by those sorts of things. Um, and, and,

00:11:51.300 and, and you have to obviously work that back into the context of everything that is going on right

00:11:54.820 now. Um, the, the split screen for me is where a lot of this lies. And, and while the DeSantis

00:12:00.780 campaign of pushing, uh, the Washington post Ipsos poll, which I would never do by the way,

00:12:05.780 the Washington post Ipsos polls are some of the worst polls consistently.

00:12:09.960 Hold on. Walk us through. What are they, what are they pushing? What's, what's the line today

00:12:13.420 for out of, uh, the line yesterday when this Washington post Ipsos poll came out was, uh, most people

00:12:19.840 who watched the debate thought DeSantis edged it. Well, that isn't where you want to be on messaging

00:12:25.600 anyway, but today you saw a morning consult poll came out that showed no difference post debate in

00:12:32.240 what people think about the primary race and, and people will recall, you know, first it was wait

00:12:37.760 till he gets in the race, you know, wait till he staffs up, wait till he hits the road, wait till he

00:12:42.940 hits Iowa, wait till he hits New Hampshire, wait till he gets on the debate stage. At this point,

00:12:47.540 you know, what are we, how long are we going to wait until Ron DeSantis actually shows up in this

00:12:53.740 primary contest? And I think for those who think that Ron DeSantis is a better option, um, I have

00:13:01.320 very bad news for you. Uh, it's getting worse, not better, uh, from a political consultant and

00:13:06.400 strategist perspective, this is getting worse, not better. You look at the comments that Jeff Rowe made

00:13:10.840 mocking Donald Trump for his indictments, worse, not better. You look at the split screen last night

00:13:16.060 when Donald Trump is being actively persecuted by the state. Ron DeSantis is on a movie set playing

00:13:21.840 catch in a field. It's getting worse, not better. So, uh, there's lots to think about from the last 24

00:13:29.100 hours and, and even more to think about when you work in the normal day-to-day news cycle. Jack, we've

00:13:34.200 got a massive breaking story up at the national pulse.com right now that I just put up and you think

00:13:39.720 about it, you know, you're a news editor, you think about it, uh, you're doing this all day long,

00:13:44.480 the breaking news, the urgent stuff, the massive stuff that the, the, the civilizational level

00:13:49.240 stuff, but the day-to-day of news is still going on too. So, you know, between, I think the post

00:13:55.100 millennial and human events and the national pulse, um, we've got you covered. No, I agree. And,

00:14:00.320 and actually we'll, I'm told by, uh, by our production staff here that we will have that

00:14:03.720 video ready after the break. So they'll load it up during the break, but there's another piece that

00:14:07.880 I actually want to add onto. Amazing. So this will be an exclusive form from, it's the national pulse and human

00:14:13.740 events working together as it should be. Uh, but the, there's another thing I would add. It's not

00:14:19.860 just about wait until Iowa, wait until New Hampshire. We're starting to hear rumors now of wait until we

00:14:26.660 get to Milwaukee, wait until we get to the convention. Is there a plot afoot to attempt to force a brokered

00:14:35.740 convention? Are you hearing these rumors as well? I've heard these rumors for months. Um, it's,

00:14:41.020 it's all, uh, Jeff Rowe, uh, who, who, for the, for the uninitiated is possibly one of the,

00:14:48.460 the scummiest. And I say that as a matter of personal opinion, um, political operatives in the

00:14:55.640 country, if not the Western hemisphere. Uh, and it's always been his strategy, uh, not to win fair

00:15:01.540 and square. Remember they did one of their largest fundraisers at the, uh, legal offices of dominion

00:15:08.340 voting systems in Washington, DC, you know, so, you know, where these people are coming from,

00:15:12.380 you know, who they're hooked up with. It has always been his plan to not win fair and square,

00:15:17.260 but to try and either knock Trump off the ballot in certain places. And he will work

00:15:22.040 with the far left to make sure that that happens. Um, he was cheering them on, on CBS the other day.

00:15:27.340 Uh, people can go and see that for themselves. We put a story up about it just a couple of minutes

00:15:31.220 ago up at the national polls, which has the video of him doing that. Um, but, but yes,

00:15:36.360 it's not going to be, you know, the, a brokered convention. It will be, it will be, uh, I suppose

00:15:41.180 what you guys call a smash mouth on the convention floor. Uh, and they will try, uh, every dirty trick

00:15:48.480 in the book and probably add some new ones in there too. Yep. Expect it, expect it, be ready for it.

00:15:54.460 Which by the way, I, I do have to, uh, I do have to say is a little bit ironic because of course

00:15:59.480 this is coming on the heels of the debate where every one of them asked about Mike Pence's duties

00:16:03.880 on January 6th, where he refused to open up a contest on the, on the merits of how the 2020

00:16:11.140 election was held. Every single one of them stood around the room and agreed with it. Yet this very

00:16:15.560 same people now are telling you that we can't trust the results of the RNC convention. We're going to

00:16:20.440 have to, we're going to have to open this up to the committee. We're going to have to open this up

00:16:24.040 to the people in the room, those voters, you know, we can't just trust what they say.

00:16:27.840 Yeah, that's right. Uh, but at this point, you know, I think everybody on that debate stage,

00:16:34.740 including the people that I have more, um, in common with, um, who, who I have more sympathy

00:16:40.620 with, you know, I quite like Doug Burgum. I don't know that much about Doug Burgum's, um, positions

00:16:46.320 as a governor, but he seems like a nice chap. Seems, seems very Canadian and very nice in his manner.

00:16:52.160 That's true. Actually, he's pretty close there in North Dakota.

00:16:55.520 I mean, no, he sounds Canadian. No offense to the North Dakotans out there, but you sound Canadian

00:17:00.360 and there's nothing wrong with that. Um, but, but, but just a nice chap, um, Vivek, you know,

00:17:06.580 has plenty of, um, charisma and, and, uh, appeal, but also has, you know, plenty of questions,

00:17:13.260 uh, above him. But, but everybody on that stage, I think, uh, is, is full of inconsistencies. And the

00:17:21.260 one thing you can say about Donald Trump is, is he is consistently Donald Trump. Uh, he doesn't

00:17:26.180 actually go out there and say things to placate even his own, uh, firmer supporters. He's consistently

00:17:32.800 asked about the vaccines and he says, look, we made a decision in that moment. What do you want me to

00:17:37.740 tell you? I never, I never wanted a mandate. What do you want me to tell you? He's asked questions

00:17:41.640 about Lindsey Graham and he says, look, Lindsey Graham is useful to me in so many ways. He says

00:17:45.420 the same thing about John Bolton, who is no friend of the MAGA movement, but he put him in there for a

00:17:49.800 specific reason, got what he needed out of him and then got rid of him when he was done. Donald Trump

00:17:54.620 is consistently Donald Trump. The rest of them are consistently making excuses for their

00:17:59.020 inconsistencies. No, I agree with that. And, and also the same people bring up Lindsey Graham,

00:18:03.820 never bring up the fact that Rand Paul is always just on the other side of Donald Trump. So he's got,

00:18:07.960 you know, kind of both sides battling it out. Stay tuned because we've got an

00:18:11.420 exclusive video from the National Pulse. The first time you've ever seen this

00:18:15.780 will be right here breaking when Human Events returns just after the break, because folks,

00:18:20.380 the news don't stop.

00:18:23.420 We're talking about influencers. These are influencers and they're friends of mine,

00:18:29.920 Jack Posobiec. Where's Jack? Jack. He's done a great job.

00:18:34.860 We're back. Human Events, Jack Posobiec, Washington, DC. We're with Raheem Kassam and Raheem has

00:18:43.980 exclusive video. You're going to see this now for the first time. You've never seen it anywhere else,

00:18:48.900 folks. Raheem, do you want to tee us up into, or I see they're playing the video here. So we've got

00:18:53.600 to explain to us what it is we're looking at and where it is.

00:18:57.960 Yeah, let's, let's keep that on a loop if we can. While I, while I explain what's happened here

00:19:02.780 earlier today, just a few, maybe an hour ago, we got word that local media in Jupiter, which is in

00:19:12.100 Florida, was reporting that 17, originally actually reporting that 14, now 17 migrants

00:19:21.220 had been detained after coming ashore, illegally, obviously, ramming into a Palm Beach County

00:19:29.280 Sheriff's Office marine vessel while doing so around 9 a.m. this morning. We tracked this video

00:19:37.340 down from a local business owner who kindly gave us the permission to put this up at the National

00:19:43.040 Pulse. It's, there's more content up there than just this video as well. But so far as we know,

00:19:49.320 of course, with the governor, Ron DeSantis, currently in a field in Iowa somewhere, his state is being

00:19:55.840 invaded by boats, by migrants, 17 of which now have been captured by law enforcement. Now, I believe

00:20:04.820 that we were reporting that 16 of these migrants are believed to be Haitian and one Bahamanian. But

00:20:15.500 it's some pretty extraordinary footage you can see there of the boat coming ashore at Jupiter

00:20:21.720 Inlet, a very nice part of the world, a very nice part, a very expensive.

00:20:25.840 Wait a minute, this is, this looks like, and I'm just seeing the video, show me now for the first

00:20:30.660 time. This looks like a speedboat. This doesn't look like some, you know, slapped together makeshift

00:20:36.060 raft or pontoon boat of some sort. This looks like an actual speedboat. It's motorized. It looks like

00:20:43.220 it hasn't, can't tell exactly from the shot that's clipped off, but it looks like some sort of outboard

00:20:47.280 motor on it. Yeah, it doesn't look like, it's not a raft, it's not a rinky-dink migrant vessel, 0.99

00:20:54.340 the likes of which you see in Europe. This is, this is certainly something a little bit, a little bit

00:20:59.120 nicer, a little bit plosher. The captain of the boat was identified already. I may butcher the name

00:21:04.580 here, but Baza El-Louis, or Baza El-Louis Francois, 30 years old, rammed the Palm Beach County Sheriff's

00:21:14.400 Marine Unit vessel and then tried to make off before, before being apprehended. You can see in the video,

00:21:20.660 there was a, the chopper there. There are actually several choppers up in the air and car units responded

00:21:26.460 as well from local law enforcement. So there's no, there's no comment yet that we can see and then we've

00:21:32.700 looked for from the governor's office. But this is some pretty, some pretty dramatic stuff. As I say, you can

00:21:40.400 see more of it up at the nationalpulse.com. You know, I've lived through things like this happening in

00:21:47.400 Europe. I've seen it happen in the United Kingdom. Obviously, Australia has had massive issues with,

00:21:53.040 with migrant boats. And of course, it's not just your southern border, the land border that is

00:21:58.720 porous, as you can see from this video. Migrant vessels now coming ashore in some pretty affluent 1.00

00:22:03.680 neighborhoods in Florida. Now, now this, by the way, given that it's not exactly a long range vessel,

00:22:10.140 I wouldn't, I wouldn't believe that it had made it there all the way from Haiti. I would think that if

00:22:16.200 you look, the Bahamas are right there across from, from Jupiter, from Palm Beach County. So I would

00:22:21.180 imagine that it came across from probably, probably that's, that's, I think that's Grand Bahama, which

00:22:26.100 is right there, Freeport. That's probably within range of that vessel. I don't know if they'd have

00:22:32.380 enough to, enough fuel to be able to get back. Maybe if they brought some extra tanks on board,

00:22:36.140 of course, you'd be able to, to refuel and then get back. So possibly they were making runs of this,

00:22:40.720 but, but Raheem, to do this in broad daylight, it really speaks to a, and I just have to say it,

00:22:48.120 a lax security situation, a lax security posture that they were not, would not be worried of what

00:22:55.300 you're seeing right here. The, the fact that, that, that people are being viewed and that it's being

00:22:59.940 easily captured, helicopters up and, and probably also they understand that because of Joe Biden's

00:23:06.780 policies that they will, that under the current, um, Department of Homeland Security and ICE policies,

00:23:13.280 it's, it's kind of almost back to where Bill Clinton was with wet foot, dry foot, that if

00:23:17.780 you're captured on land, you are able to stay within the confines of the United States.

00:23:24.180 Yeah, look, I mean, the pull factors are extraordinary at the moment, and this is,

00:23:27.800 this is one of the largest problems that Europe faces and the United Kingdom faces with its boats,

00:23:32.840 and, and, and the illegal migration going on there as well is, is, is, is you can, you can pretend all

00:23:38.520 of you, all that you want about putting up, uh, barriers or having boats, or you've got a barge

00:23:45.360 where you're going to put a handful of migrants on, uh, but as long as the pull factors remain the

00:23:50.180 same, the welfare factors, like you say, the processing, the escaping and abscondment into

00:23:55.260 general society, well, well, you know, effective catch and release schemes, um, so on and so forth,

00:24:00.140 uh, the NGOs, which in a lot of senses, uh, in a lot of the cases are state-sponsored,

00:24:05.420 government-sponsored, foreign office, um, you know, US department-sponsored, uh, whether it's

00:24:11.380 National Endowment for Democracy or, or, or, or what have you, these are massive, massive pull

00:24:16.140 factors, and one of the other narratives I think that is really important to mention here is one

00:24:20.000 of the things that really, uh, annoys me is, is when I see Europeans talking about, uh, American mass 0.98

00:24:25.260 shootings, right, and how many people die in American mass shootings, you see this narrative going on,

00:24:29.180 on, especially in internet arguments all the time, and I say, well, that's really funny.

00:24:33.160 It's a constant refrain, yeah.

00:24:35.020 Yeah, but the mass shooting argument, right, is, is, is, it usually comes down to a couple of things

00:24:39.520 that we know, right, uh, people with significant mental health problems, people without fathers in

00:24:44.620 their homes, uh, people with drug problems, all that kind of thing. The, the mass drownings are 2x

00:24:51.560 in Europe, what the mass shootings are in, in the United States, and in Europe, that is a state-sponsored

00:24:59.100 policy. It is EU policy. It is most EU members, uh, uh, nation states policies. It's certainly UK

00:25:06.420 government policy that all these pull factors for cheap migrant labor exist, and so it's, it's

00:25:12.980 incomparable, um, to start with, but, but, but, you know, nobody ever talks about this. Open borders,

00:25:20.200 as a, as a, as a government underwritten concept is killing far more people around the world right

00:25:26.500 now than, than, than mass shootings in America are, and yet, and yet it's breathlessly talked

00:25:32.080 about in, from, from, you know, from California all the way across, uh, to Eastern Europe. People

00:25:37.920 bleat on about mass shootings in the United States, but, but we never talk about this thing about

00:25:42.880 illegal migration, and that is something that we at the National Pulse are constantly hammering,

00:25:47.080 like, Hey, you know, if, if, if death and stopping death is really something that we care

00:25:51.860 about here, then let's talk about this. You know, and that's a huge point because if you

00:25:58.480 do nothing about these factors and frequently, I don't hear very much, even from Republicans

00:26:04.880 to talk about these factors. I don't hear these, uh, the ability to actually fight back other

00:26:11.580 than platitudes towards, Oh, we have to, we have to fight illegal immigration. I'm, I'm 0.99

00:26:16.060 for the border, things like this, they know they have to say, but this is kind of what I

00:26:19.960 was getting to in the opening of the show today, where there's a difference between showing

00:26:24.760 pressure, um, showing that you will, you have resolved in the face of that pressure and adversity

00:26:32.900 where you don't have any of, I don't get that sense of any of it from these people up on

00:26:37.780 stage. Meanwhile, if we continue to allow this, just even from showing this video, and

00:26:43.780 I, I hate that, that it's even happening, but you will see more of these, you will see

00:26:48.800 more of more operations of people coming right across the border. And I guarantee you, these

00:26:53.540 Haitians will be put into some kind of process. They will not be sent back. And unfortunately,

00:26:58.260 it's going to create a system whereby, and they'll come up from Haiti, they'll get to the 0.98

00:27:02.960 Bahamas, and they will start pouring over. Raheem, what happens to a country when you're, 0.84

00:27:08.860 you, you essentially open up your borders to millions and millions of people from the 0.97

00:27:12.980 third world?

00:27:14.240 Well, it ceases to be a country. You know, I, I spent a lot of last night rewatching old

00:27:19.600 clips of, uh, Enoch Powell, one of my political, um, heroes. And, and he was, he was, uh, the

00:27:27.200 first canceled, the first political victim of cancel culture in, in, in, you know, the modern

00:27:31.920 day, a British parliamentarian who, who talked about this, who talked about unifying identities,

00:27:37.140 unifying cultures, what, what it actually takes to be a nation. And the reason I was looking

00:27:41.180 it up was because I recalled when I was writing my 2017 book, 2018 book about Enoch Powell,

00:27:47.820 uh, he was once asked by somebody, he said, you know, given all of the Ferrari that you

00:27:51.760 create concerning immigration and migration and all of this stuff, you know, how do you

00:27:56.060 sleep at night? And he said, simple. I put my head on the pillow and close my eyes.

00:28:00.440 The problems will still be there in the morning. And when Donald Trump was interviewed yesterday,

00:28:04.880 um, on another television network, uh, you know, he was asked, you know, how do you sleep?

00:28:10.520 He said, it is what it is, right? You just got to do it. It's a similar, it's a similar

00:28:14.900 way of thinking about these things, similar way of thinking about the world. You have to

00:28:18.040 have that level of resilience to go through these things every single day. And to bring

00:28:23.040 it back to our earlier conversation, I'm just not sure the American public saw that type

00:28:27.100 of resilience on stage the other night, um, in Milwaukee. So it all comes full circle here.

00:28:33.540 No, I, I agree with you, Raheem. That being said, uh, when you look at the state of play,

00:28:38.720 illegals invading Florida, president Trump being arrested, mugshot out in, in Georgia,

00:28:44.140 a couple of minutes left here. Tell us where does the election go from here? You've been our,

00:28:49.500 our best prognosticator of it. And where can people go to follow more about the national pulse?

00:28:53.880 Yeah. Look, I wonder if, I wonder if you guys have the image of, uh, you know, the front cover

00:28:59.320 of the, the first, the inaugural issue of the print version of the national pulse magazine,

00:29:07.600 the pulse plus magazine, uh, which we designed late last night. America's most wanted is a strap

00:29:12.300 line there. And look, everything you see me doing right now, when you see me looking down,

00:29:15.740 I'm looking at the computer because we're breaking news in real time, right? Um, everything we do is

00:29:20.180 supported by our readers. Um, and, and we give a lot back. I mean, we could probably give too much

00:29:25.460 back. So perhaps get in now while you're grandfathered in. But one of them is that,

00:29:30.660 is that stunning front cover of the magazine, quarterly print magazine. People can go to

00:29:35.000 the national pulse.com forward slash upgrade. Um, you know, help us keep doing news like this,

00:29:41.000 the news that you don't hear anywhere else, news that you don't see anywhere else. And if you do see

00:29:44.600 it somewhere else, it's two months later, five months later, three years later, you know,

00:29:48.540 the United States Congress is still going through that Hunter Biden laptop. Haven't approached me

00:29:52.280 at all. I've got everything indexed. I know every pseudonym of Joe Biden that's been used on that

00:29:56.980 laptop. Do they care? No, but we do. And we report the news quickly, accurately. You'll remember who was

00:30:02.520 the first to publish the accurate mugshot last night, Jack. That was us. That was the national pulse.

00:30:07.380 We had that before CNN, anybody else. Um, and I, and I thank people and I'm grateful for people

00:30:11.920 coming over and doing that. The news, uh, the accurate news, the quick news, um, is some of

00:30:16.760 the most important, uh, the thing that you can plug into nowadays. That's why we built the app

00:30:20.880 that gives people push notifications whenever a big story comes out. Um, and that's why I love

00:30:25.420 doing this show because you get it. Uh, human events gets it. Postmillennial gets it. Jack

00:30:29.220 gets it. Uh, we get it too. And we're right there with you. All right. Appreciate it. Raheem. Go check

00:30:34.980 out the national pulse. Go check out this video, by the way, get the app. I, I, I love the app

00:30:40.180 because all it does is give me information that debunks everything that the mainstream

00:30:44.300 media is telling others. We're going to come right back with Joshua Lysak, an editor, a

00:30:48.480 copywriter, and a ghostwriter who's going to be telling us some very interesting stories.

00:30:52.840 You're about the boring people at your office. I'm trying to listen to the new human events

00:30:57.380 with Jack Posobiec. All right, Jack Posobiec back live here, Washington, D.C. Now, uh, originally

00:31:05.120 we had said that we were going to have Scott Adams on today because he's got his new book

00:31:09.680 out. Reframe your brain. It's fantastic. I've received a copy of it. I'm already a couple

00:31:15.720 of chapters in. It's amazing. There was an unexpected event that took place behind the

00:31:22.320 scenes that I'm not currently at liberty to say. It will be revealed eventually. Scott will

00:31:29.440 now be with us on Monday, but we also have the editor. Fortunately, we have the editor of

00:31:34.580 the book, Joshua Lysak, as well as the author of his own book. Uh, so good. They call you

00:31:40.660 fake, uh, that I also read and thought was absolutely fantastic. And he joins us now, Joshua, thank

00:31:45.180 you so much for joining us here on human events. Jack, I appreciate you having me on. Thank

00:31:49.380 you. So, so walk me through because, you know, you took Scott's book from, and he was coming

00:31:55.600 from this, this, you know, the publishing commercial mass media world. And then he gets canceled for

00:32:02.980 essentially railing against what, what CRT is doing to our country. He gets canceled from

00:32:08.540 that. And then you sort of brought him across into the, the wild, wild world of self-publishing.

00:32:14.980 What was that process like? Yes. So I have been working with both traditionally and independent,

00:32:20.200 published, uh, penitently published authors for 12 years now. And I've seen it all on both sides,

00:32:25.640 the good, the bad, the ugly, the based, and the cringe. And when Scott, it was entirely canceled.

00:32:33.500 I think he, he's now the most canceled author who is alive, the most canceled living author.

00:32:41.240 After that happened, he reached out to me and said, Joshua, so you basically know more about

00:32:45.760 independent publishing than anyone else in the world, right? I said, some might say yes.

00:32:50.200 And so that began our relationship working on reframe your brain. It was a draft at that point.

00:32:59.740 Um, there was still a bit of quite the core content was there. And for those who are not

00:33:06.760 super familiar with what a reframe is, a reframe is used often in the world of hypnosis, which is

00:33:12.580 subconscious persuasion, subconscious self-persuasion to allow yourself to get more of what you want

00:33:18.000 and stop doing what you don't want to be doing. And so there's over 160 reframes inside of reframe

00:33:23.380 your brain. And they cover such areas as career growth, entrepreneurship, physical health and

00:33:29.860 wellness, and overall mental and emotional wellbeing. And there's even a few fun ones in there on reality

00:33:35.800 itself. It's quite a fun read. People are posting their experiences or testimonials or transformations

00:33:41.240 already. I was privileged to work on it and made quite a few suggestions and improvements that Scott

00:33:47.760 was happy to, uh, accept. And we also worked together on the second edition of his bestselling

00:33:53.260 classic, how to fail at almost everything and still win a big. And it was while I was working on Scott's

00:33:59.760 book that I was also able to finish up and independently launch mine. So good. They call you a fake.

00:34:05.560 So tell me, tell us all a little bit about your background and so good. They call you a fake. 0.97

00:34:12.080 So what, what, what does that mean? So good. They call you a fake. Why would, why would anyone do

00:34:16.180 that? Yes. So when I first thought about writing my own book, because people have been asking me to

00:34:23.200 write my own book, Joshua, you've written like 80 books winning and finally write yours. Huh? Huh?

00:34:28.100 That was the question I've been dealing with for a number of months now.

00:34:31.480 Well, well, for the audience that doesn't know your, that doesn't know your background,

00:34:35.440 what do you mean you wrote 80 books? How did you write 80 books? I thought this was your first one.

00:34:39.620 Yes. So I am a professional ghostwriter. So I've ghostwritten memoirs, current events,

00:34:45.000 books, political books, business books, everything from digital marketing and hypnosis to great grandma

00:34:50.940 who wanted her kids to know what it was like growing up during the war, a little bit of everything.

00:34:56.680 But what people have been asking me for years is, so Joshua, where's your own nonfiction book?

00:35:01.000 Like with your name on it, you've written for everybody else. Basically you work with people

00:35:04.640 like Scott. So where's yours? Okay. Okay. I finally need to finish mine. And I thought about

00:35:10.120 what do these authors that I work with have in common? Because many of the authors who come to me,

00:35:15.340 they are bonafide experts in their domain, but they're not the recognized authority yet because

00:35:21.760 they don't have a book that is a physical manifestation of their life's work. And so it made sense for them

00:35:29.040 to get a book done by someone who's done it dozens of times. And it made sense for me to finally tell

00:35:34.740 their stories. And I realized that what these people, my clientele all have in common is how

00:35:40.660 they've been able to monetize their haters, their critics, their naysayers, people who say,

00:35:45.840 there's no way you're that good at what you do. You make all these claims in your book. Well,

00:35:49.020 where's your proof? Where's your studies? Huh? All those testimonials are fake, right?

00:35:53.120 And we realize now that there is a new equilibrium for entrepreneurs, for people who want to make a

00:35:59.240 name for themselves. It's not good enough to be good enough anymore. You must be so good that people

00:36:03.660 look at you and say, there's no way you could have accomplished all that. You have to be a fake. 0.75

00:36:07.740 And what that does is that, to follow a Mike Sredovich quote, attention is influence. And so by

00:36:14.480 commanding attention with results that are so good, they have to be fake. You have influence.

00:36:20.720 And when you have influence, you see this, you can, you see this again and again, right? You can see

00:36:25.980 it with, with Elon Musk. You can see it certainly with, with Donald Trump, right? He's, he, the guy's

00:36:32.820 a multi-billionaire. He became the president of the United States. And yet there are people who write

00:36:37.560 like, who have like $35,000 jobs working for BuzzFeed saying, oh, this guy has no idea what he's

00:36:43.280 doing. This guy has no clue what he's saying. And yet, okay, you know, let's, let's look at his

00:36:49.660 accomplishments versus yours. Where are we at? By the way, there's a, speaking of which, there's a

00:36:53.920 hit piece on you today that's out in, in a certain magazine. I'd be remiss if I didn't give you the

00:37:00.060 opportunity to respond. Oh, yes. Yes. I received the publishers, publishers weekly here. It's a,

00:37:07.360 it's a review of my book that I've, I tweeted about it. They put in quotes, I may, I'm a self-described

00:37:14.140 ghost writer. And they say that I praise the patriarchy. And that I say, I use the term woke

00:37:26.260 as a vague pejorative, but I never actually define it. And then they close it by saying,

00:37:33.900 I'm quote unquote, intentionally limiting my reach and alienating people on their path to success.

00:37:42.520 They are so good. They say I'm intentionally alienating people on their path to success.

00:37:48.240 So my book is in and of itself a case study of the message.

00:37:52.520 Precisely. No, I also love when people say you can't define woke. It's very clear.

00:37:56.420 Wokeness is the conspiracy theory. And that's what it is. A conspiracy theory that the observable

00:38:02.780 disparate impacts that we can see throughout society are due to systemic oppression. That's it. It's as

00:38:08.820 simple as that. Disparate impact equals systemic oppression, whether that's systemic racism,

00:38:14.220 systemic genderism, et cetera. Speaking of which, you had an interesting Twitter thread at one point

00:38:19.620 describing the Mary Sue phenomenon. And you were actually talking about why certain movies suck 0.72

00:38:25.480 because they include the Mary Sue now. And once you see it, you can never unsee it. What is the Mary Sue?

00:38:31.080 And can you tell us real quickly how you monetize that thread?

00:38:36.480 Yes. So I wrote last December because I'm in the world of stories and I try to, with my nonfiction

00:38:41.700 authors, tell compelling stories. And what we see from Hollywood recently are anti-compelling stories

00:38:47.580 where they take often female protagonists who are perfect in every way, more perfect than their 0.85

00:38:53.420 male counterparts. And the treasure of, was within them the entire time. And it's a story that goes

00:39:02.100 nowhere. And of course, characters like the latest version of Galadriel and Rey from Star Wars,

00:39:08.840 Bo Peep even, pick your recent franchise that stars a female protagonist. And many of them are a Mary Sue,

00:39:14.720 which is the stereotype name that's given to these types of characters. And I wrote a thread exploring

00:39:20.560 the recent phenomenon of Mary Sue across all popular fiction, it seems like, as well as some

00:39:26.900 previous three-dimensional female characters. The way to do it right. The way to actually tell a story 1.00

00:39:35.240 with a relatable female character. And I also gave some tips on how people who are telling their own

00:39:40.380 story can come across three-dimensional, real, relatable, authentic, not like a Mary Sue or a

00:39:46.560 Mary Sue there for the fellas. Of course, that was immediately picked up and I was canceled across

00:39:51.460 all popular media, which I think is what Drew Scott to me because I came pre-canceled so he didn't have

00:39:56.580 to worry about any shenanigans in that regard. It's a perfect, perfect team there. But what I did is

00:40:02.440 throughout the thread, I posted links to various products of mine, writing courses and whatnot.

00:40:08.860 And of course, people would share those saying, look at this guy trying to make a quick buck

00:40:12.880 scamming people. He's a total fake. He's lying about everything he says he's done. It's Photoshopped. 0.99

00:40:18.940 All his income screenshots are Photoshopped. So it's, I'm so good they call me a misogynist. So

00:40:23.260 good they call me a scammer. So good they call me a liar. So good they call me, uh, Photoshopping 0.94

00:40:28.020 my results. So good they call me, the funniest one was credibly accused misogynist, uh, who's

00:40:33.540 obviously an incel and virgin, despite the fact that I'm married and have two children, which

00:40:38.440 is always fine. Credibly accused misogynist. So good they call you an incel even though you're 0.96

00:40:40.800 married and have two children. Yeah. I'm in, I'm in time. So we, we have that in common.

00:40:44.860 So you're getting attacked in Publishers Weekly. I'm in Time Magazine today, which, you know,

00:40:48.740 I don't even consider this an attack, but they described me as a right wing provocateur, or

00:40:52.800 I'm like, you know, at this point, that's, that's one of the nicer, it's on the nicer

00:40:56.280 side of what people call me. So I'll take that as a compliment because you know what I do

00:41:00.780 intend to provoke and you're right. I'm definitely on the right wing. Stay tuned folks. We were

00:41:05.580 having a fascinating conversation here with all things writing, how it affects us in the real

00:41:10.420 world, the world of ghostwriting, the secrets that he's revealing, and also how to reframe

00:41:14.900 your brain. We'll be right back for a final segment.

00:41:20.940 I'm always listening to human events with Jack Posobiec.

00:41:25.480 All right, Jack Posobiec. We're back here live watching DC. We're talking to the editor

00:41:29.760 of the new book, reframe your brain by Scott Adams. His name is Joshua Lysak. Josh. So Joshua,

00:41:37.100 the Amazon, because you guys were self-publishing this thing, at one point, shut down the entire

00:41:44.980 process as you were about to launch. And that's why the launch was kind of, you know, kind of

00:41:50.720 herky-jerky to begin with. What happened there?

00:41:54.140 Yes. So when we initially submitted all of the files, the manuscript, cover, artwork, et cetera,

00:42:00.320 to the independent publishing service of Amazon called Amazon KDP, they replied and said, oh,

00:42:07.060 we need some documentation proving that you own the rights, Mr. Adams, to all of these books.

00:42:12.520 Reframe your brain and had to fail at almost everything and still win big.

00:42:16.020 Wrote up the email, sent over all the paperwork, and they said, you are banned. Wait a second,

00:42:23.940 Scott says, this is all the paperwork you asked for. No, it's not. You're banned for life.

00:42:28.540 And that was quite a hilarious little event because they wouldn't reply to us. All of their

00:42:33.120 replies looked like they were AI generated, including the ones that said, oh, you do not

00:42:38.680 have the rights to the books that you're attempting to publish and distribute through us, so you

00:42:43.960 are banned for life. There's no recourse for you. Then, of course, roughly several million

00:42:48.980 impressions later and quite a bit of negative attention and energy going towards the Amazon

00:42:55.040 KDP account. We heard from a real human, an apology. Here's your account back. You can

00:43:00.660 go ahead and publish everything. And that was a tense and interesting and colorful several few

00:43:05.080 days there. And so it made Reframe Your Brain, the only twice canceled book available in America.

00:43:11.500 The only twice canceled book. So as you were working on it, what would you say,

00:43:16.020 you know, what was your favorite part of the book? I mean, you mentioned how it gives you

00:43:19.700 systems for reframing different challenges and obstacles that you may face in your life. What was your

00:43:24.500 favorite part? Yes, my favorite ones are around mental health, particularly grief, particularly

00:43:31.920 grief. Often as kids, we aren't necessarily around death as much. And then as we grow up and those

00:43:40.000 around us die tragically or just of old age, we begin to find ourselves having to cope with loss,

00:43:46.960 permanent loss, at least here in this mortal coil. And so there's a section in Reframe Your Brain

00:43:53.660 about how to reframe the grieving process rather than tragedy. It's a privilege. It's a privilege

00:44:03.280 to help the living, be they pets or be they elderly parents or grandparents or those of us who've lost

00:44:11.520 children, either born or pre-born. It was quite helpful as my wife and I were going through some

00:44:18.160 stuff of our own to actually work on that section of Scott's book. So those of us who

00:44:24.800 are dealing with life's difficulties, even despite all the routines and shanigans going on in everyday

00:44:31.100 life, it's quite a mental health boost, this book, for those of us who have dealt with or are going

00:44:37.400 through or about to go through some sort of personal disruption like that. And that's just one section

00:44:42.000 of one chapter. And let me pull that out a little bit. So when you say to say it's a privilege,

00:44:47.900 do you mean the process itself or more that it was a process to get to know that person? It was a

00:44:55.120 privilege to have experienced that individual. Which do you mean exactly? It is a privilege to be the

00:45:03.740 one who mourns for them, the one who helps them out of this world, be they a person or be they

00:45:10.840 a pet. And it's an honor to be able to have that role. It's not easy. It's difficult. And so last

00:45:18.800 night, Scott did a Twitter space in which several people said that that set of reframes were their

00:45:24.200 most useful for them as they have recently, just in the past few days, gone through grief of their own.

00:45:30.680 And it's a way of going from loss to meaning from loss to meaning from loss. That's that's

00:45:39.700 incredible. Actually, that's kind of reminds me of the old I definitely, you know, nerd checking

00:45:44.000 myself here. But the the third book in the or no second book in the Ender's Game series is

00:45:50.260 Speaker for the Dead. And, you know, he reframes himself as instead of being this, this guy who's

00:45:57.000 taken out an entire so he kills a spoiler or he kills this entire like race of aliens. And so instead

00:46:02.720 of being, you know, holding himself guilty for that, and even the innocence, that he becomes a

00:46:08.480 speaker for the dead. And so it's almost like a profession where he goes around to like different

00:46:13.520 funerals in different situations, and he really learns who that person was. And it's almost like

00:46:19.240 a professional eulogizer. And so it's, they actually deal with some of those similar issues in

00:46:24.120 in that book. And I'm interested to know maybe if Orson Scott Card, as you know, it just occurs

00:46:29.220 to me that I read that book when I was on deployment at Guantanamo, but I wonder if maybe he was

00:46:33.280 dealing with something. And that was his way of, you know, going through that to your point

00:46:37.720 of reframing it as it is a privilege that I am the one who gets to do this. That's really

00:46:45.080 powerful. Anything else? Anything lighter in the book? I don't want people to think this

00:46:48.460 thing is a total downer.

00:46:49.360 Yes, that's actually towards towards the end in the mental later in the mental health

00:46:54.020 reframe section, very important. Yes, but there's quite a bit that are specifically around personal

00:46:59.400 success, business success, career success. For example, one of the ones that it's about

00:47:05.500 imposter syndrome is this idea like, well, I'm just getting started. I don't know what I'm doing.

00:47:10.040 People are going to see they're going to know I'm going to be embarrassed. Reframe that as

00:47:14.840 look how much you've learned already. You've gotten to this spot. You're going to learn it.

00:47:19.460 You're going to figure it out. Everyone who's successful at this has been here before.

00:47:23.100 And of course, Scott in his classic Scott Wade condenses that to the usual frame and the reframe.

00:47:28.640 And in a few paragraphs, he's able to go take people from anxiety to confidence. And that's,

00:47:35.880 again, just one reframe in one section. And it's over 160 of these. And usually people have their own

00:47:41.960 top 10 list. And you'll notice that most people's top 10 reframed lists are all different from one

00:47:46.580 another because there are different points in their life where they want to improve,

00:47:51.420 if not transform their lives and enjoy happiness and success.

00:47:56.020 All right, Joshua, just about the last minute here on the show, let us know where can people go to

00:48:01.180 purchase not only Reframe Your Brain, but also your book? Because I got to say, I read yours in

00:48:06.800 probably a day and a half. It's not long, but it was a fantastic book. And it, you know,

00:48:12.160 your book, I would say is really a starting point for many things. Where can people go?

00:48:16.580 Yes, they're available on Amazon. So good. They call you a fake is in hardcover, softcover,

00:48:21.020 audio and digital. And of course, the new Scott Adams book, Reframe Your Brain, as well as the second

00:48:26.120 edition of the classic, how to fail at almost everything and still win big. That's also available

00:48:30.620 in softcover, reframes and audio and digital as well. Also on Amazon.

00:48:35.140 If anyone's out there in the audience looking for a good ghostwriter, by the way, I know somebody,

00:48:41.020 but he don't come cheap, folks. He don't come cheap. But you know what? He ain't chat GPT either.

00:48:47.000 I don't think that'll be something he's competing with. Joshua Lisek, thank you so much for joining

00:48:50.440 us today. Look, folks, remember, the fight continues. You want to know what the only way out is? You

00:48:56.860 want to know what the answer is? The answer is you never quit. You never surrender. There is no

00:49:04.140 surrender. There is no giving in. The only way out is through. And we will get through this,

00:49:12.300 destroy the regime and retake our country. Ladies and gentlemen, as always, you have my permission

00:49:17.000 to lay a short.
