I want to take a second to remind you to sign up for the Poso Daily Brief.

It'll be one email that's sent to you every day.

We will have this delivered directly to you totally for free.
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.
00:00:53.380
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
00:01:30.420
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,
00:01:44.860
A faculty member at UNC Chapel Hill is dead after a shooting yesterday when a gunman opened fire
00:01:56.480
I think Joe Biden should take his $700 and get back on the plane and go home.
00:02:02.600
Because $700 compared to all the millions he's giving to Ukraine, that's why we don't understand
00:02:10.360
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events with Jack Posobiec live
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
00:02:46.920
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,
00:02:59.200
The overstate wears the institutions of the republic as a skin suit to maintain control
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
00:03:40.560
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.
00:04:16.760
Parrotting whatever his teleprompters tell him to say.
00:04:24.300
And in this case, he's decided to take his break from his entire whirlwind of vacations
00:04:36.680
Is he talking about the people that are about to get hit by a hurricane down in Florida?
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?
00:04:50.940
He's going to tell you that white supremacy, white supremacy is the greatest threat facing
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.
00:05:25.040
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
00:05:39.540
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
00:05:55.000
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

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
00:07:13.840
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.

00:08:25.600
I'd like now folks to bring on an actor, producer, director, an icon, an American original, and
00:08:33.980
Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Kevin Sorbo joins us here on Human Events.
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
00:08:57.620
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?
00:09:12.200
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
00:09:20.400
But, you know, you realize with the mainstream media and the lefties, you can't have another
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.
00:09:42.120
I'm sure if I did a documentary on them, there's certainly a number of common denominators with
00:09:48.040
But these are angry, lonely, unsuccessful people that have had, you know, one failure in their
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.
00:10:30.440
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?
00:10:41.260
Do people come and say, Kevin, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
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.
00:11:00.620
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.
00:11:08.780
And as you just mentioned, it's like a one-way street.
00:11:12.820
We can't get studios interested in working with you because you're conservative and you're
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
00:11:29.500
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.
00:11:37.300
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.
00:11:43.440
I keep saying, why are we wasting so much tax dollars sending millions to other countries
00:11:48.540
Why don't we take the people that want to turn America into Venezuela?
00:11:56.680
We'll get back to you in one year and see how things are going for you.
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
00:12:12.500
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
00:12:23.840
And it seems like, you know, this institution that we're familiar with, it's the Constitution,
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.
00:12:59.560
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
00:13:07.380
Is there any other way we should be looking at this?
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.
00:13:25.500
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.
00:13:37.340
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.
00:13:56.280
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.
00:14:06.280
If you subscribe to the Freedom Island Book Club, you'll get a new book every single month with these guys.
00:14:14.180
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.
00:14:23.540
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.
00:14:34.720
They always portray the man, he's kind of dumpy, kind of fat, a little overweight, out of shape.
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.
00:15:00.360
Take Chicago, for instance, when you have 70, 80, 90 shootings every week, mostly black on black.
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.
00:15:26.060
He takes all the things he learned from his father on how to take situations into his own hand in a positive way.
00:15:34.020
And I look at what Hollywood's doing, what mainstream media is doing.
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.
00:16:07.700
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.
00:16:28.160
They should get rid of their computer, get rid of their hairbrush, get rid of their toothbrush.
00:16:42.680
We did the island – mine's called The 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.
00:16:58.480
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.
00:17:14.500
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.
00:17:28.480
He's going to be so excited because it shows – each one has a great story.
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.
00:18:06.140
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.
00:18:15.700
And without that teaching in our society, then young boys will stay young boys.
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.
00:18:36.640
They might have to take us off air with this interview because Kevin Sorbo is popping off.
00:18:43.900
These are influences, and they're friends of mine.
00:18:58.860
We're going to keep this interview going for as long as they let us, folks, before they
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.
00:19:20.920
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
00:19:32.480
One example of that, though, and I'd be remiss if I didn't ask you, Kevin, you know, you're
00:19:39.020
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
00:19:56.920
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
00:20:17.320
Well, I think the independent film has just exploded in the last 10, 12 years.
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.
00:20:31.400
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.
00:20:42.120
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
00:20:53.120
So we need people to come out and be part of the part of the fight.
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
00:21:07.720
And I look around like, hey, man, thanks for being a voice for us.
00:21:12.360
But see, they don't want what they're and they're afraid.
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.
00:21:37.500
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
00:21:53.740
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
00:22:11.400
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
00:22:20.900
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.
00:22:41.620
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?
00:22:51.000
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
00:23:09.320
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?
00:23:18.740
And they'll sit there and say, well, you know, and marriage used to be the one.
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?
00:24:04.900
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
00:24:28.960
So how do you carry both of those together at the same time?
00:24:36.560
We live in a world now, no matter, anybody can say anything about you or me, anything.
00:24:43.720
Even though it's 100% false, we live in a world that if they said on the internet, then
00:24:50.500
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?
00:25:12.680
You look at all these people on MSNBC, CNN, saying, take the shot, you'll never get COVID
00:25:19.120
Take the second shot, you'll never, oh, wear three masks and take four more shots.
00:25:25.060
And now they're talking about it again, putting masks on people?
00:25:29.000
How much lying has to go on from people like Bill Gates and Fauci that should be, actually,
00:25:35.980
So my new F word on the golf course is not the other F word.
00:25:40.480
But anyway, it's crazy what we're doing out there and the brainwashing people, because
00:25:47.800
And when are people going to say enough is enough?
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
00:26:02.220
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.
00:26:22.200
Then all of a sudden we wake up Monday morning.
00:26:29.420
The New York Times, you know, does democracy really work?
00:26:43.120
The stocks are all down because nobody's buying the 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?
00:26:56.740
No, it's on purpose, as you know, all this stuff is planned out.
00:27:02.020
I think there was something maybe was Fauci or somebody saying last year, oh, it's coming
00:27:06.500
There'll be a new strain coming out very shortly.
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,
00:27:27.320
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
00:27:37.580
That's why we've got all these teachers now in their 20s, 30s and early 40s that are
00:27:42.580
And they don't teach what they've been taught to teach.
00:27:48.000
I never had teachers when I was in high school or even college that they taught my business
00:27:56.080
Nobody told them believe in God or not believe in God.
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.
00:28:07.940
I was going to say, that's just like your book.
00:28:12.180
How can dads, specifically fathers in this country, stand up?
00:28:23.140
Look, the stronger the men, the stronger the family, the stronger the community, the stronger
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.
00:28:41.600
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.
00:28:51.780
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?
00:29:00.720
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.
00:29:17.140
I just, I was in Detroit yesterday, played in Mark Wahlberg's golf tournament.
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
00:29:52.400
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
00:30:03.220
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.
00:30:10.380
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
00:30:28.160
Tell people, thank you so much again for being with us, Kevin.
00:30:33.220
We've got to get you back on, man, because this is powerful, powerful truth that you're
00:30:43.960
Go to bravebooks.com and also sign up at Freedom Island Book Club.
00:30:52.040
I've got four movies coming down the pipeline, two documentaries.
00:31:11.480
We hear about the boring people at your office.
00:31:14.160
I'm trying to listen to the new human events with Jack Posobiec.
00:31:30.560
And our partner, today's sponsor, Moink Box, knows and will tell you exactly where your
00:31:37.260
food comes from because it comes from small family farms all across America.
00:31:41.820
You can help save those family farms and get access to the highest quality meat on planet
00:31:51.100
Moink Box runs their business from a town of 97 people in Newark, Missouri, and they're
00:31:55.360
helping save our traditions, values, and rural America with every order.
00:31:59.760
Moink Box delivers grass-fed and grass-finished beef, lamb, pastured pork, and chicken.
00:32:05.080
It's a scene of a wild caught Alaskan salmon straight to your door.
00:32:08.420
You can choose the meat delivered in every single delivery box, like ribeyes, chicken
00:32:12.860
breast, pork chops, salmon fillets, and the best bacon in the planet.
00:32:17.140
I got to say, look, when Tanya Tay gets our new Moink Box in, it usually goes into the
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
00:32:34.500
So go and support American farmers by signing up at moinkbox.com slash poso right now and
00:32:41.360
get the Human Events audience a free, you will get a free ground beef for a year.
00:32:46.560
That's one year of the best ground beef you'll ever taste, but for a limited time.
00:32:51.380
So it's spelled M-O-I-N-K box dot com slash poso.
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
00:33:07.940
The situation, now there's the Wagner Group, the seeming death of Purgosian, million theories
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,
00:33:37.040
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.
00:33:52.960
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?
00:34:03.240
Because to me, that seems like they're revealing a manpower issue.
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
00:34:14.260
You don't want people my age who have not taken care of themselves showing up with all
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,
00:34:38.320
I'm just saying, I'm saying, if you look at the situation, Zelensky announced that he's
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.
00:35:05.160
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
00:35:19.100
I think it's desperate to the point of where they're looking at going into some sort of
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
00:35:52.100
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
00:36:13.780
And so something like almost 40% of their casualties took place in 1945, because to that point,
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
00:37:20.800
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
00:37:52.060
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
00:38:31.300
That is to say, you must have the ability to turn and focus and concentrate all your forces
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
00:38:51.880
So you've got, he's a colonel general, technically he outranks Zaluzhny.
00:38:58.920
And plus, this tapestry of training that NATO's done, they've taken the Ukrainian military and
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.
00:39:15.160
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.
00:39:57.760
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
00:40:17.840
And at the same time that you need to train people on those systems, train people on those
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?
00:40:35.800
Well, they say, yeah, yeah, yeah, 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
00:41:02.380
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.
00:41:47.140
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
00:42:05.240
Because Putin doesn't, he seemed like he, he waited and by, you know, bided his time essentially
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.
00:42:22.340
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
00:42:36.220
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
00:43:19.200
Purgosian came out of the, the coup attempt or revolt, whatever you want to call it, very
00:43:25.180
So it was just a matter of time before Putin did him in.
00:43:30.080
And I do believe it was done two months to the day from the uprising or coup, whatever
00:43:37.400
And of course, to the, the more they have plausible deniability saying, oh, we didn't
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.
00:44:15.820
You go around Washington, DC and you look at how at the Intel community, you kind of wonder
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
00:44:42.720
They told us to the day, even before the news broke, um, here on the show that Zalinski
00:44:51.380
So he sacked all of them throughout the districts, uh, and is hiring a whole new staff there.
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
00:45:20.520
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
00:45:39.820
I don't know what the answer is, but I know the Russians do have the potential based on
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
00:46:12.820
So with that being the case, then let's say you're the Intel officer, you, you've got to
00:46:20.400
Would your advice be to, to bunker down and try to fight it out?
00:46:30.980
I mean, well, actually, no, let me ask you this question.
00:46:33.760
Because the question is, does Russia at this point have any incentive to negotiate?
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.
00:47:07.340
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.
00:47:23.320
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
00:47:37.240
And then we end up, and then we end up with good Ukrainian families, civilians,
00:47:49.600
Where can people go to get more information and access to your work?
00:47:53.240
LondonCenter.org for London Center for Policy Research and ProjectSentinel.com.
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.
00:48:14.380
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
00:48:24.980
Well, it turns out there's some good information about Maui and specifically one group of children
00:48:32.360
I'm going to leave this with you, ladies and gentlemen.
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
00:48:45.000
But it took a while to make contact with all of the families, or Eddie Dowd spoke with the
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.
00:49:26.100
We were just waiting to hear from them to see if they were okay.
