00:00:25.820 The Poso Daily Brief.
00:00:30.000 We are in a fifth generational conflict.
00:00:41.420 For every lie they tell, we're going to get in their face and yell two truths.
00:00:46.460 This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.
00:00:49.860 Deliver us from evil.
00:00:51.760 The intelligence community is determined.
00:00:53.380 The U.S. intelligence community is determined that domestic terrorism rooted in white supremacy
00:00:58.360 is the greatest terrorist threat we face in the whole life.
00:01:01.780 There are those who are intentionally trying to divide us as a nation.
00:01:07.840 Our diversity is our strength, and our unity is our power as a nation.
00:01:13.840 The National Archives admits to having thousands of emails sent by then-Vice President Joe Biden
00:01:19.420 under a fake name, a pseudonym, according to a brand new lawsuit.
00:01:23.580 We are going to encourage Americans to get their updated COVID-19 vaccine in addition
00:01:28.200 to their annual flu shot.
00:01:30.420 Let's not forget, that is important for Americans to get.
00:01:33.180 Less than one week after the fiery crash north of Moscow, Russian authorities now confirming
00:01:38.260 Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin was among those killed in the incident,
00:01:42.780 as were members of his leadership team.
00:01:44.860 A faculty member at UNC Chapel Hill is dead after a shooting yesterday when a gunman opened fire
00:01:51.740 in a science building at the university.
00:01:54.440 I have no money anymore.
00:01:56.480 I think Joe Biden should take his $700 and get back on the plane and go home.
00:02:00.920 That's what I think.
00:02:02.600 Because $700 compared to all the millions he's giving to Ukraine, that's why we don't understand
00:02:08.000 why.
00:02:08.420 We're citizens and we cannot get money.
00:02:10.360 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events with Jack Posobiec live
00:02:15.740 from Washington, D.C.
00:02:17.520 Today is August 29th, 2023.
00:02:20.980 Anno Domini.
00:02:22.780 Folks, they want to erase us.
00:02:25.160 They want to erase you.
00:02:26.720 They want to erase your family.
00:02:28.880 They want to erase your way of life, your culture, your traditions.
00:02:33.580 You have to understand the theory of the overstate.
00:02:37.320 And in the theory of the overstate, modern America does not live under the constitutional
00:02:45.020 republic.
00:02:46.920 And I think most people have understood this for a long time.
00:02:49.940 We live under the rule of the overstate, a merger of government power, corporate power,
00:02:57.300 and academic authority.
00:02:59.200 The overstate wears the institutions of the republic as a skin suit to maintain control
00:03:08.980 over the populace.
00:03:11.200 The Constitution, the Department of Justice, the FBI, these are all skin suits worn by this
00:03:22.740 new merger of power, which isn't even all American, by the way.
00:03:30.440 This is why you can have the son of the vice president working for the Chinese Communist Party
00:03:38.520 and Ukrainian oligarchs.
00:03:40.560 But a foreign citizen can't even buy campaign merchandise in the United States.
00:03:48.020 Not that I'm saying that I should, but I'm just pointing out the ridiculousness of it all.
00:03:53.540 And then you have this guy who says he's the president that nobody actually thinks is in charge.
00:04:03.580 Joe Biden should not be treated as if he is the actual president of the United States.
00:04:09.920 He's a voice.
00:04:10.960 He's a puppet.
00:04:11.560 He's a glove with a hand up the back.
00:04:16.760 Parrotting whatever his teleprompters tell him to say.
00:04:21.260 Barack Obama, in many ways, was this as well.
00:04:24.300 And in this case, he's decided to take his break from his entire whirlwind of vacations
00:04:32.120 to come out.
00:04:33.700 Is he talking about the people of Lahaina?
00:04:36.020 No.
00:04:36.680 Is he talking about the people that are about to get hit by a hurricane down in Florida?
00:04:40.400 No.
00:04:41.380 East Palestine?
00:04:42.240 No.
00:04:43.560 Is he going to talk about the rampant violence in our cities?
00:04:46.560 The people being killed in mass shootings every single day in our cities?
00:04:50.100 No, no, no, no, no.
00:04:50.940 He's going to tell you that white supremacy, white supremacy is the greatest threat facing
00:04:57.960 our nation.
00:04:59.180 Why does the overstate need to do this?
00:05:01.940 Well, George Orwell explained it.
00:05:03.400 This is your two minutes hate.
00:05:05.560 Every once in a while, when things become so bad, when things get so out of control, when
00:05:10.640 things get so insane, when they can sense that the entire system is crumbling around
00:05:16.040 them, you must return to another two minutes of hate.
00:05:21.660 It's white supremacy.
00:05:23.040 White supremacy is to cause for this.
00:05:25.040 White supremacy is to cause for the fentanyl zombies of Kensington.
00:05:28.700 White supremacy is to cause for the failure of the United States military around the world.
00:05:32.740 White supremacy is the cause for the fact that your dollar is taxed and inflated out of
00:05:38.040 all compensation.
00:05:39.540 White supremacy is the cause that your kids can't read.
00:05:43.060 White supremacy is the cause that you can't go downtown without worrying about dodging bullets
00:05:47.460 in any major American city.
00:05:49.720 White supremacy is the cause for all of it.
00:05:52.940 The overstate has found its enemy.
00:05:55.000 And just like the Bolsheviks, the overstate will abuse and use this enemy to continue to
00:06:05.000 demonize, scapegoat, and lash out as the situation gets worse before it ever gets better.
00:06:14.020 We're going to talk to someone who understands about how to make the situation better.
00:06:18.060 Mr. Kevin Sorbo joins us in the next segment here on Heave Events.

00:06:53.800 bam, bam, like Human Events with Jack Posobiec.
00:06:59.740 All right, Jack Posobiec, we're back here live, Human Events, Washington, D.C.
00:07:03.940 But we've got a hurricane that's barreling down towards Florida right now.
00:07:08.900 Look, my brother at one point was in the track of this thing when they were talking about it
00:07:12.560 hitting Tampa, St. Pete's.
00:07:13.840 Right now they're talking about it hitting the Panhandle, all the areas in between.
00:07:17.800 We know that anything can change at a moment's notice.
00:07:23.120 And it's not just that because we're also on the brink of economic collapse.
00:07:27.240 It's scary.
00:07:28.240 It's absolutely scary.

00:08:25.600 I'd like now folks to bring on an actor, producer, director, an icon, an American original, and
00:08:32.920 now an author.
00:08:33.980 Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Kevin Sorbo joins us here on Human Events.
00:08:37.240 Kevin, thanks for taking time today.
00:08:39.080 I'm glad.
00:08:39.740 It's really good to be here.
00:08:41.520 I'm a fan, as you know.
00:08:43.420 So there you go.
00:08:44.220 Well, I appreciate it.
00:08:44.960 I appreciate that.
00:08:45.780 I have to.
00:08:46.380 But when you look at what's going on, look, I say, people say that Poso's Twitter is a
00:08:51.700 little bit spicy, but I say, man, have you guys seen how Sorbo drives the other side
00:08:55.880 completely insane?
00:08:57.620 I got to ask you this, and this was totally not on our schedule.
00:09:01.140 Why do you think it is that of all people that you drive them so incredibly nuts?
00:09:07.040 Is it just because you're completely off the reservation?
00:09:09.500 What is it?
00:09:10.900 You know, it's interesting.
00:09:12.200 I mean, Facebook took me down two and a half years ago for posting the truth about COVID.
00:09:15.740 And all I was really doing was posting all these thousands of doctors' other point of
00:09:20.260 view.
00:09:20.400 But, you know, you realize with the mainstream media and the lefties, you can't have another
00:09:24.080 point of view like climate change.
00:09:25.520 It's only one thing.
00:09:26.400 It's the end of the world.
00:09:27.500 You can't listen to all of your scientists that say the opposite.
00:09:29.980 It's the same thing with what I'm doing out there.
00:09:32.540 And I'm just I'm just going after the truth out there.
00:09:34.940 And they hate the truth.
00:09:36.040 Truth is kryptonite to the left.
00:09:37.340 But I'm going to keep doing it.
00:09:38.820 They're very easy to trigger.
00:09:40.200 These are very unhappy, sad people.
00:09:42.120 I'm sure if I did a documentary on them, there's certainly a number of common denominators with
00:09:46.920 each one of these people.
00:09:48.040 But these are angry, lonely, unsuccessful people that have had, you know, one failure in their
00:09:54.540 life that made them quit life altogether.
00:09:56.780 So I'm here just to point out the truth.
00:09:59.560 But they hate it.
00:10:00.220 And so when you look at some of these situations, too, though, when it's the orthodoxy, the climate
00:10:07.780 change, COVID, whatever it is, you know, they only allow and, you know, sound like a broken
00:10:14.800 record saying this, but they only allow one school of thought.
00:10:17.340 But then along comes a voice like you, someone who's got a huge platform, huge renown, who's
00:10:23.980 a huge star with the American people, has been in literally everything.
00:10:27.780 And you're putting out the exact opposite.
00:10:30.440 What is it like, though, when when this first starts happening, when you first sort of, you
00:10:35.020 know, break free of this mind meld that you're supposed to be in in Hollywood?
00:10:39.980 Do people come to you?
00:10:41.260 Do people come and say, Kevin, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:10:43.180 Be careful, man.
00:10:44.240 Be careful.
00:10:44.680 Does that ever happen?
00:10:45.700 Do they try to, like, handle you, wrangle you back in?
00:10:48.540 You know, years ago, I'm not going to name the names.
00:10:50.300 You see, these are conservative actors, really big name actors, A-listers that come up to
00:10:54.520 me at their, I was at the Emmys and things like that.
00:10:56.540 And they would tell me, hey, you better slow it down a little bit.
00:10:59.840 I go, slow it down.
00:11:00.620 I said, I'm not, I don't post anger or hate like these guys do.
00:11:04.520 But, you know, my manager and agent called me in.
00:11:06.640 This is already like about 10 years ago.
00:11:08.780 And as you just mentioned, it's like a one-way street.
00:11:11.600 They said, we can't work with you anymore.
00:11:12.820 We can't get studios interested in working with you because you're conservative and you're
00:11:16.660 Christian.
00:11:17.340 And apparently that is like being a double leper in the world of Hollywood, unfortunately.
00:11:22.160 And as you know, the hypocrisy shines through them every single day, just like it shines
00:11:26.360 through the Biden administration.
00:11:28.180 Everything's a one-way street.
00:11:29.500 They scream for tolerance and freedom of speech.
00:11:32.020 But it's only if you go by their rules, not anybody else's.
00:11:35.780 You know, we're a socialist country now.
00:11:37.300 We're well on our way to become a communist country.
00:11:39.160 And I love when they say, well, they didn't do socialism right in other countries.
00:11:42.260 Oh, OK.
00:11:43.440 I keep saying, why are we wasting so much tax dollars sending millions to other countries
00:11:47.680 that hate us?
00:11:48.540 Why don't we take the people that want to turn America into Venezuela?
00:11:52.240 Why don't we just ship them to Venezuela?
00:11:54.380 I say, there you go.
00:11:56.680 We'll get back to you in one year and see how things are going for you.
00:12:00.440 Well, that's exactly right.
00:12:01.480 And what they've done, and I was talking about it in the beginning of the show there,
00:12:04.500 was that they've taken our system and they'll use the institutions and they'll wear them
00:12:09.940 like a suit, right?
00:12:11.240 Almost like a skin suit, right?
00:12:12.500 Like a shapeshifter or something from maybe from one of your movies or shows, you know?
00:12:17.100 And they've got, you know, they've got like, so, oh, I'm the FBI, I'm the DOJ, I'm the
00:12:22.900 Pentagon, et cetera.
00:12:23.840 And it seems like, you know, this institution that we're familiar with, it's the Constitution,
00:12:28.540 right?
00:12:28.720 It's a federal judge, but then all of a sudden, the federal judge is instituting raids on pro-lifers.
00:12:35.420 You got the FBI going after somebody who's 75 years old.
00:12:39.040 You've got, and then on this latest one, we have a judge saying that the primary schedule
00:12:44.120 for the voting of the presidency of the United States has no bearing whatsoever on her case
00:12:50.920 and that we're going to treat this situation as if it's like anything else.
00:12:54.820 And she's taken Trump's trial.
00:12:56.720 This is the first trial, right?
00:12:57.680 There's four that we know of, at least.
00:12:59.560 Who knows how many there's going to be when this thing ends out?
00:13:01.680 And she said, no, we're actually going to schedule this thing right in the middle of the primary
00:13:06.800 season.
00:13:07.380 Is there any other way we should be looking at this?
00:13:09.240 What's going on?
00:13:10.620 You know, it's just like I do.
00:13:11.820 I mean, these guys, they've been going after Trump since day one.
00:13:14.780 I mean, there are seven years of going after this guy.
00:13:16.780 And we all knew that the whole collusion thing with Russia was BS.
00:13:20.520 I mean, who does Putin fear?
00:13:21.840 He fears Trump.
00:13:22.620 He doesn't fear a Hillary Clinton.
00:13:23.900 He doesn't fear Biden.
00:13:25.500 So everything is just, you know, it's just camouflage.
00:13:29.380 It's to take away from the real issues of the world and go after Trump day in and day out.
00:13:32.340 They brainwash these people to go after the guy because he's a man.
00:13:36.140 He's a man's man.
00:13:37.340 I've got a book coming out in September called, it's called The Test of Lionhood.
00:13:42.340 And it's from Brave Books, the same company that worked with Kirk Cameron.
00:13:46.360 My book deals with masculinity and this whole thing about toxic masculinity.
00:13:50.840 I say embrace masculinity and let boys be boys and let girls be girls.
00:13:54.600 And Brave Books does a great job with this.
00:13:56.280 It's going to come out in just, it's coming out like this week in September when it comes out.
00:14:02.240 I'll tell people right now, go to bravebooks.com.
00:14:04.360 They can sign up, sign up.
00:14:06.280 If you subscribe to the Freedom Island Book Club, you'll get a new book every single month with these guys.
00:14:11.040 Kirk Cameron's done one.
00:14:12.820 Bethany Hamilton's done one.
00:14:14.180 I did the movie on her life called Soul Surfer with Dennis Quaid.
00:14:17.080 It's a wonderful way to look at letting boys be boys and girls be girls.
00:14:22.000 And we're not doing that in today's world.
00:14:23.540 Because the reality is, I think if you eliminate the patriarchy, which we are doing right now, you're going to eliminate the human race eventually.
00:14:29.740 And Hollywood has done a great job of that, for example, with their sitcoms.
00:14:32.980 You look at sitcoms through the years.
00:14:34.720 They always portray the man, he's kind of dumpy, kind of fat, a little overweight, out of shape.
00:14:38.420 Mom's kind of a babe.
00:14:39.740 And the teenage kids just make fun of dad.
00:14:42.040 So kids have grown up for decades watching this behavior and emulating it.
00:14:46.760 And they're just taking away the dad being an important part of the family.
00:14:49.640 And we know that having both mom and dad in life makes a big difference.
00:14:53.260 All you've got to do is look at the African-American population with 80% being raised without a father.
00:14:58.440 Look at our inner cities and what's going on.
00:15:00.360 Take Chicago, for instance, when you have 70, 80, 90 shootings every week, mostly black on black.
00:15:06.280 Where's the uproar over that?
00:15:07.780 I don't see the uproar over that.
00:15:09.460 Don't black lives matter?
00:15:10.620 I mean, it's crazy to me what we're doing right now.
00:15:13.080 And a book like this, The Test of the Lionhood, really is a story of this lion cub that's with his sister out in the woods.
00:15:18.240 She gets scratched by a very poisonous flower.
00:15:20.780 He can't get back to his family in time.
00:15:22.340 He's got to make a decision.
00:15:23.600 And it's his world now to become a man.
00:15:26.060 He takes all the things he learned from his father on how to take situations into his own hand in a positive way.
00:15:32.580 And it's great.
00:15:34.020 And I look at what Hollywood's doing, what mainstream media is doing.
00:15:38.220 You've got a confused generation of men.
00:15:40.120 And they're so easy to control, so easy to control.
00:15:42.540 And then you have a truth-seeking generation of men that Hollywood struggles with because they struggle with truth.
00:15:48.320 As you know, they struggle certainly with a guy like me that wants to put out movies that have love and hope and faith and redemption and laughter.
00:15:55.220 And my newest one, I've got to give a quick plug for it, is coming out in October called Miracle in East Texas.
00:16:00.820 True story set in 1930.
00:16:02.260 So a good place to go there, sorbostudios.com.
00:16:05.400 Sorbostudios.com.
00:16:06.200 You can get tickets for it right now.
00:16:07.700 Great PG family based on a true story set right in the heart of the Depression in 1930.
00:16:15.580 It's pro-oil, pro-capitalism, pro-family, pro-faith, pro-patriot.
00:16:20.000 And I challenge people that want to get rid of oil.
00:16:24.080 If they really want to get rid of oil, then, number one, they should get rid of their cell phone.
00:16:27.520 It's got oil on it.
00:16:28.160 They should get rid of their computer, get rid of their hairbrush, get rid of their toothbrush.
00:16:30.820 People have no idea.
00:16:32.580 They think it's all about gas for their car.
00:16:34.240 They have no clue.
00:16:35.160 They have no clue.
00:16:36.200 No.
00:16:36.860 Oh, they have no clue.
00:16:37.580 I mean, that's amazing.
00:16:39.000 So we actually did – so I have a Brave book.
00:16:42.680 We did the island – mine's called The Island of Free Ice Cream.
00:16:46.140 And we were in like the first –
00:16:47.280 Oh, wait. I saw the cover for that.
00:16:48.100 That's funny.
00:16:48.780 Yeah, yeah.
00:16:49.500 So we're for Island of Free Ice Cream.
00:16:52.240 But we've got – the one thing with those books is that if you started it – because now it's a subscription too.
00:16:57.440 So everybody needs to go.
00:16:58.480 If you have kids, go to Brave Books because they do the stickers and the island thing.
00:17:03.480 My kid, my five-year-old, he's got the stickers and he's just waiting to get all the rest of them filled in because they've got the plan for all the rest forward.
00:17:13.140 So he's got like – I don't know.
00:17:14.500 I guess we're maybe a third of the way through it now.
00:17:16.520 And they'll usually send me because I have the subscription.
00:17:19.440 So whenever one comes out, I get it.
00:17:21.360 And he loves the series because not only –
00:17:25.060 Yes!
00:17:26.040 I'm telling you I can't wait.
00:17:27.200 I'm going to tell him as soon as I get home.
00:17:28.480 He's going to be so excited because it shows – each one has a great story.
00:17:33.360 Mine's basically about communism.
00:17:34.480 When people promise you something for free, it usually comes at a little bit of a cost.
00:17:38.460 So be careful who's out there offering something – an offer that sounds too good to be true, as they say it.
00:17:45.280 But you're exactly right on Hollywood, on the ills of our country right now, and the fact that we've taken men and specifically masculinity and we've pushed it aside.
00:17:55.520 We've said men being assertive, using the word no, just simply going up and saying, no, you are not allowed to do that.
00:18:02.880 No, you are not allowed to behave like that.
00:18:04.340 Everything's become a committee.
00:18:06.140 Everyone's become – it's all become, oh, I'm going to tell your mom and dad, et cetera.
00:18:10.160 Nobody's supposed to deal with anything by themselves anymore.
00:18:12.860 No, you've taken away personal agency.
00:18:15.700 And without that teaching in our society, then young boys will stay young boys.
00:18:21.440 They become children.
00:18:22.400 They never raise up to become men.
00:18:24.620 Stay tuned.
00:18:25.060 We'll be right back.
00:18:25.680 One more segment coming up.
00:18:26.760 Kevin Sorbo is just dropping truth bombs about Hollywood, climate, crime, you name it.
00:18:33.200 I don't even know if we can air any of this stuff, folks.
00:18:36.020 I don't know.
00:18:36.640 They might have to take us off air with this interview because Kevin Sorbo is popping off.
00:18:40.740 Stay tuned.
00:18:41.060 We'll be right back.
00:18:43.900 These are influences, and they're friends of mine.
00:18:48.480 Jack Sobik.
00:18:50.000 Where's Jack?
00:18:50.940 Jack.
00:18:52.080 He's done a great job.
00:18:53.360 All right.
00:18:57.420 Jack Sobik here with Kevin Sorbo.
00:18:58.860 We're going to keep this interview going for as long as they let us, folks, before they
00:19:02.400 take this thing down because I don't know.
00:19:04.580 We're getting comments in like crazy.
00:19:06.720 People saying, stop, Kevin.
00:19:08.620 You can't do this.
00:19:10.080 People can't handle too much common sense at once these days.
00:19:14.160 But that's what we're getting because that's what we need.
00:19:16.600 All right.
00:19:16.960 We need more common sense.
00:19:18.420 We need more truth tellers.
00:19:19.800 And we need folks.
00:19:20.920 That's why you're seeing Hollywood big name actors like Kevin Sorbo and everyone else that
00:19:24.740 are coming out saying enough is enough because these goons running our country have absolutely
00:19:31.240 gone too far.
00:19:32.480 One example of that, though, and I'd be remiss if I didn't ask you, Kevin, you know, you're
00:19:37.700 in the industry.
00:19:38.300 You're in the film industry.
00:19:39.020 You're looking at the rise of the parallel economy, which I've seen you and your films
00:19:46.140 and your work be such an indelible part of, whether it's God's not dead, where it's left
00:19:50.020 behind, which really laid the the I would say laid the groundwork for what we saw with
00:19:54.220 Sound of Freedom coming out this year.
00:19:56.920 Has this has the parallel economy, specifically when it comes to film, has this reached in a
00:20:01.960 inflection point where people are so checked out of the mainstream Hollywood system that
00:20:08.320 they're now willing to build their own streaming, build their own platforms and then do everything
00:20:13.300 completely going it on their own?
00:20:15.340 What are we seeing right now in the industry?
00:20:17.320 Well, I think the independent film has just exploded in the last 10, 12 years.
00:20:20.940 I mean, I've been part of this since 2010.
00:20:22.560 In fact, my first really you could call faith based movie was called What If?
00:20:27.480 Same writers that did God's not dead in my book.
00:20:29.740 What if it's a far better movie?
00:20:31.400 But, you know, when you have these two, three million dollar budget movies, we don't have
00:20:34.480 a hundred million dollar advertising budget to promote it.
00:20:36.580 It's got to come with word of mouth more than anything else.
00:20:38.860 And that's what happened with movies like God's not dead.
00:20:40.660 And my other movie, Let There Be Light.
00:20:42.120 We need people support these movies because Hollywood does these three hundred million
00:20:45.340 dollar movies with a hundred million dollar advertising budget.
00:20:47.940 How do you compete when they can be on every football game, every soap opera promoting
00:20:51.960 it over and over again?
00:20:53.120 So we need people to come out and be part of the part of the fight.
00:20:55.520 But it's picking up.
00:20:56.320 Trust me, every movie I've been doing, especially last six, seven years, I get an actor, a set
00:21:01.600 designer, a camera guy, whatever comes up to me.
00:21:04.000 They take me over to like a corner of the room, like we're doing a drug deal in the back
00:21:07.340 alley.
00:21:07.720 And I look around like, hey, man, thanks for being a voice for us.
00:21:10.280 And I go, well, be a voice for yourself.
00:21:12.360 But see, they don't want what they're and they're afraid.
00:21:14.560 What happened to me?
00:21:15.200 What happened to them?
00:21:15.820 I'm still making movies.
00:21:16.780 I'm just not getting called in to do Hollywood stuff anymore, which is fine.
00:21:20.720 They don't owe me anything, but I still love the industry.
00:21:22.780 I don't harbor the same anger they harbor towards someone's like my point of view.
00:21:26.340 But these are movies that that Hollywood used to do and used to be heroes were the heroes.
00:21:32.340 And now they've been celebrating just the opposite of everything.
00:21:36.440 It's just weird.
00:21:37.500 Disney is going to take a billion dollar loss this year and they don't seem to care.
00:21:40.600 If I'm a stockbroker, a stockholder in that company, I say, what are you doing?
00:21:44.260 And I actually heard somebody is either suing Target as a stockholder or it's Disney because
00:21:50.900 Disney is going to lose a billion dollars.
00:21:52.760 You look at Sound of Freedom.
00:21:53.740 It did better than Indiana Jones, the fourth installment of that movie.
00:21:58.160 And I saw that fourth installment of that movie and it was tough to watch.
00:22:01.260 I mean, Indiana Jones is just a mere shadow of what he used to be.
00:22:03.840 And the whole thing is making the women all the all the amazing heroes of the world right
00:22:08.200 now.
00:22:08.780 They're going to do a Barbie.
00:22:09.880 They're going to do it in the new Snow White.
00:22:11.400 I don't think the Snow White's going to do well.
00:22:12.860 Personally, everything I'm hearing about it, that thing is going to bomb.
00:22:15.700 And I think they've had that actress come out now and she's kind of going after people
00:22:19.120 like you and me and say, well, wait a minute.
00:22:20.900 But, you know, why why can't you come up with more original idea?
00:22:24.180 Why do you have to change the original format of things?
00:22:27.720 I'm going to segue this a little bit because you brought up this thing about white privilege.
00:22:31.620 And there was this woman walking on a college campus and she wasn't a white woman.
00:22:35.900 It was, you know, mixed race woman, Japanese.
00:22:38.520 And she had something else in her.
00:22:39.680 I'm just guessing.
00:22:40.440 But, you know, you can kind of tell.
00:22:41.620 And she was asking women of all races and whatever and saying, hey, what do you think
00:22:45.880 about this white privilege thing and men and all that?
00:22:48.280 They just went off.
00:22:49.500 And so she asked every one of them.
00:22:51.000 So can you give me some examples of the privileges they have that you don't have?
00:22:55.400 And they looked at blank faces going, well, I can't think of anything right now, but they
00:23:00.580 just do.
00:23:01.140 I got to go to class.
00:23:02.000 I'm late.
00:23:02.360 So it's just, yeah.
00:23:07.120 Where's the privilege?
00:23:08.480 There's no privilege.
00:23:09.320 No, the privilege is being in this country, having the rights.
00:23:12.760 The other one is when you ask them, by the way, they say, what rights do you not have?
00:23:16.420 What rights do you not have?
00:23:17.260 What rights do I have that you don't have?
00:23:18.740 And they'll sit there and say, well, you know, and marriage used to be the one.
00:23:22.940 They used to say, oh, marriage.
00:23:24.040 You can get married.
00:23:24.960 Everyone has the right to get married.
00:23:26.180 No one is stopping you from this.
00:23:27.840 No one is stopping you from that.
00:23:28.720 But you know what they are stopping you from?
00:23:30.140 It's if you're going and you're deciding that if you're a man, that you want to be
00:23:35.140 a woman, and then we're going to provide you from going into female locker rooms and
00:23:40.280 female gyms and all of this, which to me is interesting because, and look, you've been
00:23:47.140 in Hollywood and you lived through the Me Too era.
00:23:50.500 We saw what happened with Weinstein, et cetera.
00:23:52.280 How do you have the Me Too era, right, that goes through and suddenly every man in Hollywood
00:23:57.280 has to think about, you know, what text did I send?
00:24:00.580 What party?
00:24:01.240 Did I say this?
00:24:02.140 Was I there?
00:24:02.820 Did I see this?
00:24:03.720 Et cetera.
00:24:04.900 Versus now, if you just claimed you're a woman, you're supposedly basically allowed to
00:24:10.000 walk around wearing whatever or as little as you want.
00:24:13.480 There's a, you know, there's a story out now where someone's being, I think it's a sorority
00:24:17.060 deal where someone's being forced in to live, literally live in with these girls, I think
00:24:22.620 it's the University of Wyoming, and it's just a man, hasn't had any surgery, anything like
00:24:27.100 this, is just a full-on man.
00:24:28.960 So how do you carry both of those together at the same time?
00:24:33.920 Well, here's the thing.
00:24:36.560 We live in a world now, no matter, anybody can say anything about you or me, anything.
00:24:41.640 And right away, we're guilty.
00:24:42.420 Well, they do.
00:24:43.040 Believe me, they do.
00:24:43.720 Even though it's 100% false, we live in a world that if they said on the internet, then
00:24:48.800 we're going to come after you.
00:24:50.500 There doesn't have to be proof of anything at all anymore.
00:24:53.240 And that's the weird thing that we're allowing this to go on, because you can destroy people's
00:24:57.320 careers with complete lies, and it comes always from the left.
00:25:01.300 How many times have we busted people using racism as an excuse, or I got raped, and then
00:25:06.680 you find out the story was totally fabricated, it comes out later.
00:25:09.480 And where is the left coming back and apologizing?
00:25:11.840 Look at COVID.
00:25:12.680 You look at all these people on MSNBC, CNN, saying, take the shot, you'll never get COVID
00:25:17.840 again.
00:25:18.220 Oh, you got COVID.
00:25:19.120 Take the second shot, you'll never, oh, wear three masks and take four more shots.
00:25:22.980 Oh, gosh, everybody's still getting COVID.
00:25:25.060 And now they're talking about it again, putting masks on people?
00:25:27.300 Are you kidding me?
00:25:28.640 What?
00:25:29.000 How much lying has to go on from people like Bill Gates and Fauci that should be, actually,
00:25:35.040 you know, I golf a lot.
00:25:35.980 So my new F word on the golf course is not the other F word.
00:25:38.780 It's Fauci every time I have a bad shot.
00:25:40.480 But anyway, it's crazy what we're doing out there and the brainwashing people, because
00:25:45.200 it just goes on and on and on.
00:25:47.800 And when are people going to say enough is enough?
00:25:50.260 Show them.
00:25:50.700 And it should be my body, my choice.
00:25:52.300 Why didn't that count when it comes to people that talk about abortion?
00:25:55.500 Why doesn't it come my body, my choice when it comes to these four shots they're making
00:25:58.940 us to?
00:25:59.300 Do you do you believe so?
00:26:02.220 We've we've seen this coming and I talked about it the other day in the show.
00:26:05.940 We've seen this coming where suddenly they were we were joking actually over the weekend
00:26:09.960 myself, Charlie Kirk, and we were saying, you know, you know, what if what if they tried
00:26:13.760 to cancel the election and they brought back COVID and we're saying, oh, that'd be hilarious
00:26:17.140 because we were just kind of doing some scenarios thinking about what might happen.
00:26:20.620 And this was, again, over the weekend.
00:26:22.200 Then all of a sudden we wake up Monday morning.
00:26:24.360 What do I see?
00:26:25.120 Time magazine saying too many elections.
00:26:27.880 We're voting too much.
00:26:29.420 The New York Times, you know, does democracy really work?
00:26:33.540 And then the next thing, COVID is back.
00:26:35.620 The new strain is coming.
00:26:36.800 The new mutation right at the same time.
00:26:38.820 What's going down?
00:26:39.680 Oh, wait.
00:26:40.460 Pfizer is down, right?
00:26:42.040 The big pharma is down.
00:26:43.120 The stocks are all down because nobody's buying the product.
00:26:45.460 No forced product.
00:26:46.500 What suddenly, boom, COVID comes back at the exact same time.
00:26:50.000 Are we actually supposed to think that this is all happening at random?
00:26:54.520 What do you what's your take?
00:26:56.740 No, it's on purpose, as you know, all this stuff is planned out.
00:26:59.800 It's always planned out.
00:27:00.580 We knew this was coming.
00:27:02.020 I think there was something maybe was Fauci or somebody saying last year, oh, it's coming
00:27:06.120 back.
00:27:06.500 There'll be a new strain coming out very shortly.
00:27:08.900 He said it in 2017 or 2018 as well.
00:27:12.020 What I love about when I saw an earlier interview with Fauci, when somebody asked him about natural
00:27:17.460 immunity and he said, well, if you've already gone through the flu with,
00:27:20.000 none of that, then you've built it.
00:27:20.740 You don't need a flu shot.
00:27:21.600 You've built up national immunity.
00:27:23.020 But then everything changed.
00:27:24.620 It's all about money.
00:27:25.680 It's always about money.
00:27:26.440 It's about control.
00:27:27.320 Government wants control of your life from cradle to grave.
00:27:29.720 That's why they're going after kids in public schools, starting right away at daycare
00:27:33.120 centers and kindergarten all the way through.
00:27:35.780 And we've had now about three decades of that.
00:27:37.580 That's why we've got all these teachers now in their 20s, 30s and early 40s that are
00:27:41.220 completely brainwashed.
00:27:42.580 And they don't teach what they've been taught to teach.
00:27:44.540 They go after people.
00:27:46.040 And it's all political.
00:27:48.000 I never had teachers when I was in high school or even college that they taught my business
00:27:51.760 classes or my economic class or math.
00:27:54.120 That's what they taught.
00:27:55.040 Nobody told me how to vote.
00:27:56.080 Nobody told them believe in God or not believe in God.
00:27:58.420 They taught what they were supposed to teach.
00:28:01.340 It's a whole different world we're living in right now.
00:28:03.660 And that's why I'm going to go back to my book from Brave Books.
00:28:06.740 I mean, to me, the strong of the man.
00:28:07.940 I was going to say, that's just like your book.
00:28:10.060 That's exactly what your book is saying.
00:28:12.180 How can dads, specifically fathers in this country, stand up?
00:28:16.940 Because, and look, I'm just going to say it.
00:28:18.800 I think men need to reassert themselves.
00:28:21.440 I really do.
00:28:22.340 I really do.
00:28:23.140 Look, the stronger the men, the stronger the family, the stronger the community, the stronger
00:28:26.940 the country.
00:28:27.480 It's as simple as that.
00:28:28.880 We need boys to become strong men, to lead their families, lead their communities as well.
00:28:33.700 And, you know, see, the Bible calls for us to be providers, men to be providers.
00:28:37.120 That takes nothing away from the women whatsoever.
00:28:39.680 There's no difference in women's equality.
00:28:41.600 The thing is, women have simply a different role in the family unit than a man has.
00:28:45.640 And both those combined together, I think, will raise strong men and women.
00:28:49.060 But we're not doing that in today's world.
00:28:50.720 We're attacking masculinity.
00:28:51.780 We're saying that men should be the same as women, the women to be the same as men.
00:28:55.860 Because all the movies right now, the women are the ones who are kicking butt, right?
00:28:59.420 The men are just a bunch of wimps.
00:29:00.720 The whole Barbie movie, the whole thing you mentioned, but the whole premise of Barbie
00:29:05.340 is that men are like these Ken dolls that we're supposed to be, you know, we're just
00:29:09.780 there, we're good looking, and we hang out, and we do whatever.
00:29:14.280 But Barbie runs the world.
00:29:15.340 And that's how it's supposed to be.
00:29:16.600 That was the message.
00:29:17.140 I just, I was in Detroit yesterday, played in Mark Wahlberg's golf tournament.
00:29:21.540 And I love the fact and the stance he's taken.
00:29:23.580 He's a strong Christian.
00:29:24.660 He's a strong voice.
00:29:26.420 He got the heck out of Hollywood like I did.
00:29:28.220 He's living in Vegas now, brought his family out there.
00:29:32.100 And he's there to put on the good fight, to get rid of the woke Hollywood.
00:29:35.180 I think Taylor Kitsch is another actor that's doing the same thing.
00:29:37.900 And it's good to see people starting to wake up.
00:29:41.320 And I think more and more people are getting sick and tired of it.
00:29:43.480 The problem with the silent majority is a lot of them are still silent, but more and
00:29:47.220 more are waking up.
00:29:47.980 I'm here to wake up the lions.
00:29:49.940 The lions got to get out there and roar.
00:29:51.040 The sheep are going to be the sheep.
00:29:52.400 And they're going to let the government do whatever they want to control their lives.
00:29:55.080 And that's really sad to me, but people need to fight back because I think the biggest
00:29:59.160 killer in America, even the world, is apathy.
00:30:01.680 People, oh, well, what can I do?
00:30:03.220 I mean, the government every day takes an inch.
00:30:05.280 Well, you look at decades going by, they've taken miles and miles and miles.
00:30:08.480 We're losing so many freedoms right now.
00:30:10.380 We certainly don't have freedom of speech unless you speak the way they want you to speak.
00:30:14.760 You look at how horrible it is in Canada and the stuff they're doing up there.
00:30:17.720 So Australia, New Zealand, what they were doing.
00:30:20.320 I shot Hercules in New Zealand for seven years.
00:30:22.240 And it's a completely different country than it was when I was there for seven years in
00:30:25.680 the 90s.
00:30:26.500 We're coming up on a break.
00:30:28.160 Tell people, thank you so much again for being with us, Kevin.
00:30:32.400 God bless you.

00:32:21.960 freezer.
00:32:22.380 We actually had, you know, we had the Alaskan salmon last night.
00:32:24.840 I'm telling you, her plate, my plate, even the kids' plates, completely finished, picked
00:32:30.900 absolutely clean with this Alaskan salmon.

00:32:54.600 That's moinkbox.com slash poso.
00:32:57.000 Support today's sponsor.
00:32:59.300 I want to bring on now, it's been a minute since we've had him.
00:33:01.380 It's Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer because there's been some doings transpiring over in
00:33:07.280 Ukraine.
00:33:07.940 The situation, now there's the Wagner Group, the seeming death of Purgosian, million theories
00:33:14.640 there.
00:33:15.600 But I'd love if we could, Tony, we need an update on this counteroffensive because I saw,
00:33:22.200 or lack thereof, I should say, because I saw a post last night from Euromaidan Press, which
00:33:26.660 is a very pro-Ukrainian site, that had a photograph of these, it seemed to me like graybeards,
00:33:34.900 like men in their 50s and 60s.
00:33:37.040 And the post read, Ukrainians in their 50s and 60s and beyond are serving the country
00:33:44.040 and conducting combat missions against the Russians.
00:33:47.920 And I said, wait a minute, hold on, hold on, wait.
00:33:49.860 You're sending the graybeards into combat.
00:33:52.960 I remember other times where other countries have been in that situation.
00:33:57.840 Is this like a volunteer thing or is something worse going on?
00:34:01.800 Tony, what's your take on that?
00:34:03.240 Because to me, that seems like they're revealing a manpower issue.
00:34:08.040 They are.
00:34:08.900 Look, I'm 61 and I think I could hold my own and go back into combat, but I'd like to believe
00:34:13.260 that.
00:34:13.420 It's all right.
00:34:13.720 It's all right.
00:34:14.260 You don't want people my age who have not taken care of themselves showing up with all
00:34:21.340 sorts of health problems on the front.
00:34:23.440 Trust me, I've had to deal with this in Afghanistan 20 years ago.
00:34:27.400 And the bottom line is some have compared the current situation to late stages World War II,
00:34:35.520 Nazi Germany.
00:34:36.240 And again, I'm not comparing Ukraine to Nazis.
00:34:38.320 I'm just saying, I'm saying, if you look at the situation, Zelensky announced that he's
00:34:43.600 looking at a 300,000 man column.
00:34:47.420 Now, Jack, they've been at war a long time now.
00:34:51.860 And their military aged males have all gone into combat and not done well.
00:35:01.400 And I'm not taking sides here.
00:35:04.140 I'm not pro-Russian.
00:35:05.160 I'm simply critical of the fact that you have a situation that has gotten to the point
00:35:12.640 of where the side that the United States is saying they're trying to help, they haven't
00:35:17.340 helped.
00:35:18.020 And it's desperate.
00:35:19.100 I think it's desperate to the point of where they're looking at going into some sort of
00:35:22.300 a defensive posture.
00:35:23.880 And suffice to say, Jack, that means the offensive has failed.
00:35:26.800 And I think at this point, it's safe to say that the offensive has failed.
00:35:32.080 And what is worse, and this is why Zelensky is about to call up these 17 to 16-year-olds
00:35:39.560 and 45 to 65-year-olds, because they have nobody left to man the defensive perimeter,
00:35:46.100 which I think they're about to establish as they go into a defensive configuration, probably
00:35:50.940 in September.
00:35:52.100 When this is, and I remember reading this stat, and I'm sure the Army officer would know better
00:36:00.940 than the Navy officer on this one, but I'll just run it by you with that context, that
00:36:06.100 if you look at German casualties in World War II, that they also ran into this same manpower
00:36:12.720 issue.
00:36:13.780 And so something like almost 40% of their casualties took place in 1945, because to that point,
00:36:22.480 that's when that's the German Home Army.
00:36:24.520 So now the Red Army has crossed over, has gotten through Poland, through Ukraine, the territory
00:36:29.120 of Belarus at this point is now crashing into Germany proper.
00:36:32.780 But at the same time, they were doing this, the people's militias, right?
00:36:36.480 They were, it was mobilized, the people's militia, get the people's militia up there on the
00:36:40.220 line, but combat force is, and combat power is more than just numbers, isn't it?
00:36:47.520 Well, that's part of why they're not doing well.
00:36:49.900 I mean, if you examine the fabric of their military, Jack, and to your point, the very
00:36:58.300 end of World War II, you had a desperate race to defend the homeland by the Nazis.
00:37:07.320 I've been saying that the best battle that you can kind of compare the current situation
00:37:15.000 to is the Battle of Kursk.
00:37:16.980 Many of the themes of Kursk have played out.
00:37:20.800 And remember, Jack, if you go back and study July of 43, the Battle of Kursk was that last
00:37:26.600 moment that the German Nazi army was on the offensive.
00:37:31.460 It ended after that, and they were in the defensive posture.
00:37:33.620 So I think that's what I'm looking at here, as someone who has studied this a day or two.
00:37:39.040 And to your point, I think there's clear indications that the folks who have to man the battlefronts
00:37:49.620 are not going to go voluntarily.
00:37:52.060 This is, you're going to have to have people sign, basically recruited.
00:37:56.640 Conscription is what's going to be required to be able to get folks together on this.
00:38:03.160 So I do believe that, unfortunately, for the current situation, the likes of Victoria Newland,
00:38:10.720 Jake Sullivan, Mark Milley, they've given the advice, the most horrible advice, and to your
00:38:19.240 primary point, the reason it's not worked is because there's no unity of command.
00:38:23.940 The two things you must have in a ground battle, and I'm speaking from experience, is unity
00:38:30.760 of command.
00:38:31.300 That is to say, you must have the ability to turn and focus and concentrate all your forces
00:38:37.740 at the same time.
00:38:39.060 They've never had that.
00:38:40.000 They've got two generals that are competing against each other.
00:38:42.160 You've got Zaluzhny, who's the overall commander, but focused on trying to get to Crimea, a bridge
00:38:47.180 too far if there ever was one.
00:38:48.600 And you've got Sersky focusing on Zaporizhia.
00:38:51.880 So you've got, he's a colonel general, technically he outranks Zaluzhny.
00:38:56.940 So you've got that internally going.
00:38:58.920 And plus, this tapestry of training that NATO's done, they've taken the Ukrainian military and
00:39:04.640 trained it all over the world.
00:39:05.820 And it sounds great, but that's woke, goes to war.
00:39:09.440 It's like, this just kind of disperse everybody and give them the best training.
00:39:13.060 That doesn't create unit cohesion.
00:39:15.160 And Jack, you know from being in the Navy, I know from being in the Army, if you don't
00:39:18.820 have a ship that fights as a single entity, if you don't have a battalion or brigade that
00:39:23.240 fights in a uniform, effective manner, you're not going to win.
00:39:27.560 And so the combination of lack of concentration of forces when needed and the lack of actual
00:39:33.580 training, which actually created unit cohesion, has been two of the downfalls.
00:39:40.000 You know, if you've got a tanker in the U.S. Army, it'll be 18 months.
00:39:43.020 But from from the time that you enter boot camp to the time that you're actually deployable
00:39:47.620 or they'll at least even then, that's that's the lowest possible rung of the guy who's in
00:39:53.240 there, you know, and then you hear the same things.
00:39:56.000 Oh, we'll get the F-16s up.
00:39:57.760 Do they have any conception of the amount of supply and the amount of support staff and
00:40:03.800 support infrastructure that you need to run a fighter squadron specifically for F-16s,
00:40:08.620 which, you know, certainly isn't the most sophisticated aircraft out there, but it is
00:40:11.940 no, by and large, extremely more sophisticated and by then the Soviet jets that they were
00:40:17.060 using before.
00:40:17.840 And at the same time that you need to train people on those systems, train people on those
00:40:22.400 computers.
00:40:22.760 You need to make sure the computers link up that just just an entire level of strategy
00:40:29.880 and infrastructure that I just don't know if it and that's just that's just physics, right?
00:40:33.920 It's just basic physics, right?
00:40:35.800 Well, they say, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's numbers.
00:40:39.400 Yeah, it's numbers.
00:40:40.640 It's numbers of resources and the actual flash to bang of what it takes to create a weapon,
00:40:47.660 to deploy that weapon, to put the, the, the weapon, the, the systems which support that
00:40:53.360 weapon in place.
00:40:54.780 That is a cradle to grave.
00:40:57.040 It's not a video game, folks.
00:40:58.500 It's not a video game.
00:40:59.520 It's not a video game.
00:41:00.260 Right.
00:41:00.840 I ordered the F-16s.
00:41:02.380 The F-16s have arrived and now they just start flying on their, no, no, no.
00:41:07.080 I mean, uh, be different, but this, and by the way, this is what the Germans were saying
00:41:11.100 at the end of the wonderwaffe was just around the corner that super jets and turbo jets and
00:41:15.780 this bomb and that bomb, and that'll save the war.
00:41:18.240 And this will say that it's the same type of, uh, I think just faulty strategy.
00:41:22.960 And then you end up throwing your own population into that mall.
00:41:26.720 It's aspirational, aspirational strategy, Jack.
00:41:29.980 These people have aspirations, which cannot, yeah, we'll be right back.
00:41:34.060 Tony Schaefer breaking truth on the ground in Ukraine.
00:41:40.540 I'm always listening to human events with Jack Posobiec.
00:41:43.240 Jack Posobiec back live, Washington, DC.
00:41:47.140 We're here speaking with, uh, army intelligence officer, Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer.
00:41:52.180 Tony, you know, we've, we've seen, uh, the news with Purgosian Wagner.
00:41:57.080 I haven't had you on since then, but I think the real question on everyone's mind is, is
00:42:02.680 Russia preparing to do something?
00:42:05.240 Because Putin doesn't, he seemed like he, he waited and by, you know, bided his time essentially
00:42:11.580 to take this shot.
00:42:12.660 If that ends up being what it was, uh, cleans him up, sacks a bunch of generals.
00:42:17.460 It seems to me like the Kremlin is up to something.
00:42:21.060 Is, is, is that right?
00:42:22.340 Do you think that they're on the precipice of enacting action?
00:42:25.180 Um, yeah, look, uh, Putin actually visited the front, not well reported because the West
00:42:30.560 doesn't want to report on what's going on there, but no, uh, Putin actually went to
00:42:33.940 the front and got a briefing on something.
00:42:36.220 Nobody knows what it is, but it may be them getting ready to go back on the offensive.
00:42:41.180 So anytime, Jack, you know, this is from your military time.
00:42:44.160 Anytime a senior leader shows up somewhere, uh, in the military, uh, something's about to
00:42:50.160 have, so I think it's very clear that something's about to roll and regarding Purgosian, uh,
00:42:56.580 look, uh, uh, he, uh, Putin described him as a talented businessman who made mistakes.
00:43:03.720 Well, one of those mistakes was trusting Putin.
00:43:06.060 So I think it's self-evident that, uh, uh, basically Putin was not going to let some knucklehead
00:43:11.740 like Purgosian, who was a thug, they're both thugs, but you know, one thug's not going to
00:43:16.240 let another get up on him.
00:43:18.060 Wagner was very popular.
00:43:19.200 Purgosian came out of the, the coup attempt or revolt, whatever you want to call it, very
00:43:24.440 popular.
00:43:25.180 So it was just a matter of time before Putin did him in.
00:43:28.060 And yeah, I do believe, uh, Purgosian's dead.
00:43:30.080 And I do believe it was done two months to the day from the uprising or coup, whatever
00:43:35.400 you want to call it, to show, send a message.
00:43:37.400 And of course, to the, the more they have plausible deniability saying, oh, we didn't
00:43:41.600 do it.
00:43:42.940 Putin did it.
00:43:43.840 I mean, it's just kind of, it is what it is.
00:43:46.580 And you can take the man out of the Soviet union.
00:43:48.840 You can't take the Soviet union out of the man.
00:43:51.060 And I think Putin is still very much a Soviet at heart.
00:43:54.080 Well, and I think, uh, you know, I have, I've actually had somebody, I can't say it, but
00:43:58.420 somebody pretty high up told me once, they said, you know, it feels like we were fighting
00:44:03.040 the Soviet union for so long during the cold war that we kind of became them.
00:44:07.200 That by, by staring into the abyss for so long, the abyss stared back into us.
00:44:12.420 And if you go around Washington, DC, that's for sure.
00:44:15.500 Yeah.
00:44:15.820 You go around Washington, DC and you look at how at the Intel community, you kind of wonder
00:44:20.180 sometimes, is this the KGB?
00:44:21.860 Is this the way the GRU runs things?
00:44:23.560 So, so if let's, let's pair the two then up.
00:44:27.400 So, uh, Zalinski, right.
00:44:30.360 He's mobile.
00:44:31.000 He's mobilizing seniors.
00:44:32.440 Uh, they've put a new lockdown on people leaving the country that I've noticed.
00:44:36.560 He also, and we actually had some guys on the ground from real America's voice were there
00:44:40.860 who had met with some of Zalinski's advisors.
00:44:42.720 They told us to the day, even before the news broke, um, here on the show that Zalinski
00:44:48.140 had fired all of his military recruiters.
00:44:51.380 So he sacked all of them throughout the districts, uh, and is hiring a whole new staff there.
00:44:56.580 They're bunkering down.
00:44:58.300 And so to your point, it feels like they're going into a defensive posture.
00:45:02.460 Does that mean that Russia is preparing for potentially a big move?
00:45:07.840 I think that is what the, the Putin visit to the front means, Jack.
00:45:13.060 Uh, the question is when, uh, basically I think the Russians have exhausted the Ukrainian
00:45:20.020 offensive.
00:45:20.520 They just let it, let them pound their energy uselessly into their three layers of defense.
00:45:26.440 So the question becomes, do the Russians just simply accept partition?
00:45:30.700 Do they just take this, the regions they have and say we're done, or do they do more to disable
00:45:36.420 Ukraine to make it more vulnerable?
00:45:39.080 That's the question.
00:45:39.820 I don't know what the answer is, but I know the Russians do have the potential based on
00:45:44.620 their current numbers.
00:45:45.740 The numbers alone, Jack, again, I'm not pro-Russian.
00:45:48.920 I'm simply stating my professional opinion based on what I observe is that the Russians
00:45:54.940 are going to be in the position to return to the offensive by October 1st.
00:45:59.340 And that offensive could see them going very quickly to, uh, any number of places within,
00:46:05.460 uh, Ukraine, because there's going to be no combat power left to prevent them from doing
00:46:10.060 it on the, on the Ukrainian side.
00:46:12.820 So with that being the case, then let's say you're the Intel officer, you, you've got to
00:46:16.660 go give your advice to the commanding officer.
00:46:18.700 What, what would your advice be?
00:46:20.400 Would your advice be to, to bunker down and try to fight it out?
00:46:23.920 Or would it be to pick up the phone?
00:46:26.440 Which side?
00:46:27.080 I mean, if you, if I'm a, no, I'm serious.
00:46:30.980 I mean, well, actually, no, let me ask you this question.
00:46:33.060 No, I get what you're saying.
00:46:33.760 Because the question is, does Russia at this point have any incentive to negotiate?
00:46:40.360 No, they don't.
00:46:41.820 I mean, they really don't.
00:46:43.020 Right now, the, the West has basically come together.
00:46:46.120 NATO has come together and determined, Jack, this is great.
00:46:48.620 They're projecting, they're going to tell the Russians that, uh, you need to, we'll give
00:46:53.780 you the territory, territorial concessions for NATO, accepting Ukraine into, uh, into
00:46:59.760 basically, uh, trading the territory for Ukrainian membership in the NATO.
00:47:05.180 The Russians are going to accept that.
00:47:07.340 It's basically kind of what the negotiating amongst themselves at NATO.
00:47:11.980 So no, Jack, there's a complete detachment between the diplomatic corps and the military
00:47:17.160 advisors on the Ukrainian side from the reality they face regarding Russia.
00:47:21.640 Uh, and again, I'm not pro-Russian.
00:47:23.320 I, I, I am ashamed at the bad military advice given by Petraeus, Milley, and all these other
00:47:29.100 knuckleheads are supposed to be military geniuses, uh, who have just kind of made the mess that
00:47:35.040 we now see before us.
00:47:36.180 It's, it is, it is.
00:47:37.240 And then we end up, and then we end up with good Ukrainian families, civilians,
00:47:43.340 Ukrainian families are taking it on the chin.
00:47:45.540 Absolutely.
00:47:45.940 Absolutely.
00:47:47.360 Tony, where can people go to follow you?
00:47:49.600 Where can people go to get more information and access to your work?
00:47:52.960 Sure.
00:47:53.240 LondonCenter.org for London Center for Policy Research and ProjectSentinel.com.
00:47:58.560 Uh, the website's coming together very nicely.
00:48:00.720 You know, we're doing a lot of constitutional work looking at how we can return both the
00:48:04.760 military and our intelligence community to constitutional oversight, which you and I
00:48:08.340 both know we don't have that right now, but that's an aspiration we're seeking.
00:48:12.160 So thanks for having me, Jack.
00:48:13.340 Always great to join you.
00:48:14.380 God bless, appreciate your insights and analysis, the briefing, as always.
00:48:18.540 Look, folks, we deal with some harrowing things here, and there's a story that we've decided
00:48:22.320 that we're not going to let go.
00:48:23.500 That's the story of Maui.
00:48:24.980 Well, it turns out there's some good information about Maui and specifically one group of children
00:48:31.480 in Maui.
00:48:32.360 I'm going to leave this with you, ladies and gentlemen.
00:48:35.720 We're going out on it.
00:48:36.520 You have my permission, ladies and gentlemen, to lay ashore.
00:48:38.840 I had a Lahaina Catholic school that burned to the ground, says every one of its students
00:48:44.020 is alive and well.
00:48:45.000 But it took a while to make contact with all of the families, or Eddie Dowd spoke with the
00:48:50.320 principal.
00:48:50.720 The school's principal tells me nearly two anxious weeks went by before the school confirmed
00:48:56.880 all of its students survived the August 8th fire.
00:49:00.060 Answered prayer, really, if anything, because that whole week, you know, we're out here, we're
00:49:09.420 living in uncertainty, and with lack of reception.
00:49:14.500 The return of communications and talking to teachers brought the confirmation that Sacred
00:49:19.000 Heart School Principal Tonata Lolesio had been praying for.
00:49:22.900 All 220 of her students are safe and sound.
00:49:26.100 We were just waiting to hear from them to see if they were okay.
00:49:29.360 We had no way to communicate with anybody.
