00:00:38.820 A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran.
00:00:45.600 This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.
00:00:48.520 Deliver us from evil.
00:00:56.060 Cover his camera!

00:00:58.820 Cover his camera!
00:01:00.240 They're going to come and save you!
00:01:01.440 Is Iran behind the Gaza war?
00:01:03.760 I don't want to get into classified information, but to be very blunt with you, there is no clear evidence of that.
00:01:09.480 The Biden administration needs to own up to some grave strategic and moral errors they've made in trying to de-escalate.
00:01:19.360 Well, the de-escalate with Iran and the government. 0.87
00:01:20.780 America can certainly afford to stand with Israel and to support Israel's military needs.
00:01:28.440 And we also can and must support Ukraine in its struggle against Russia.
00:01:36.040 And look, the American economy is doing extremely well.
00:01:40.360 As far as I know, there are no negotiations and there shouldn't be any negotiations because, again, the only thing that we are focused on is targeting Hamas terrorists and eradicating their capabilities. 0.91
00:01:57.300 To all their families, we don't stop any effort in order to bring them back, our brothers and sisters, all those who were abducted by these satanic people. 0.92
00:02:08.860 It wasn't on President Trump's watch that Kabul collapsed in 21.
00:02:12.780 It wasn't on President Trump's watch that Russia invaded Ukraine.
00:02:15.920 It wasn't on President Trump's watch that Iran unleashed its proxy, Hamas, to slaughter Jews in Israel.
00:02:22.080 All these things happened under President Biden because President Biden has been tempting America's enemies with his weakness.
00:02:28.380 Imagine if we were able to succeed in getting the Middle East put in place where we have normalization of relations.
00:02:36.760 I think we can do that.
00:02:37.920 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily, live from Washington, D.C.
00:02:43.780 Today is October 16, 2023.
00:02:45.900 Anno Domini.
00:02:47.300 Hyper escalation on every front.
00:02:51.040 That's what we're focused on, folks.
00:02:52.900 That's what we're facing.
00:02:54.880 The Biden administration has just announced, we've got the story up on the postmillennial.com.
00:03:00.840 2,000 American troops are being prepared to deploy in support of Israel.
00:03:12.400 This is in addition to the two aircraft carriers that the United States, that Biden has sent to the region.
00:03:21.580 That's 10,000 American souls.
00:03:25.220 10,000 souls on those carriers.
00:03:27.680 Another 2,000 on the ground.
00:03:30.800 Another couple hundred more from the carrier battle group.
00:03:34.920 So let's put it all together.
00:03:37.180 Let's say we've got 20.
00:03:38.500 Let's say we've got 12,500.
00:03:41.780 12,500.
00:03:45.380 12,500 troops.
00:03:48.660 Headed to the region.
00:03:51.260 And guess what, folks?
00:03:53.000 We won't know who fires the shot.
00:03:56.240 We won't know where it came from.
00:03:59.920 But here's how it's going to go down.
00:04:03.560 Breaking.
00:04:05.500 American servicemen. 0.99
00:04:07.820 Shot and killed.
00:04:12.200 Biden demands a response.
00:04:14.640 Do you understand why last week there was a full force assault on your amygdala?
00:04:20.680 Saying, we must get involved.
00:04:22.400 We must get involved.
00:04:23.060 We must get involved.
00:04:23.660 We must get involved.
00:04:24.320 We must get involved.
00:04:24.980 Hamas must pay. 0.92
00:04:25.900 Hamas must pay. 0.92
00:04:26.360 Of course, Hamas must pay.
00:04:27.480 But understand what this is building towards. 0.95
00:04:32.180 One American gets killed there.
00:04:34.600 And suddenly they're going to call for mass U.S. involvement in the war.
00:04:42.340 It's what they want.
00:04:43.200 You see these warmongers and yelling up there.
00:04:45.100 We can afford this.
00:04:46.560 The economy's great.
00:04:48.080 She's sitting up there saying everything.
00:04:49.420 This is Mearsheimer's warning.
00:04:51.460 This is Mearsheimer's warning on steroids.
00:04:54.200 Because we're not even talking about Taiwan yet.
00:04:57.200 She just came out and said it.
00:04:59.800 Two front world conflict.
00:05:02.700 What have we been warning you about for the past 18 months under this administration?
00:05:07.700 And Yellen just says it.
00:05:08.580 She just admits it.
00:05:09.620 She admits it right in front of the entire world.
00:05:11.500 Meanwhile, a foreign-born judge has just gagged President Trump.
00:05:18.180 President of the United States has been gagged by a foreign-born judge. 0.62
00:05:23.500 If you want to understand the circumstances in which we find ourselves presently, this is reality.
00:05:31.140 If you are not waking up to the dire situation we are in, then just go do something else.
00:05:36.740 All right?
00:05:36.940 Just go do something else.
00:05:38.600 Go change the channel.
00:05:39.760 Turn off Human Events daily.
00:05:40.880 Don't watch this show because we're not going to sugarcoat things around here.
00:05:44.820 I don't want to tell you that everything's going to be gumdrops and roses because it's not.
00:05:49.760 Because I'm here to tell you it's going to get worse.
00:05:53.940 It simply is.
00:05:55.600 It's going to get worse.
00:05:59.240 Hyper escalation is now upon us.
00:06:02.940 Folks, Raheem Kassam joins us in the next segment.
00:06:06.520 You must be ready.
00:06:07.920 We're ready.
00:06:08.980 I'm ready.
00:06:09.740 Governments are being toppled.
00:06:12.460 Hyper escalation on its front.
00:06:14.680 Presidents gagged.
00:06:16.940 Who knows what's going to come next?
00:06:20.060 Human Events continues.

00:06:42.960 When I grew up in the hood, I rolled with bloods. 0.99
00:06:45.540 And them boys had a saying.
00:06:47.680 You can't be listening to all that slappy whack, trim out as all it's a bam ship, nippy bam bam, 1.00
00:06:53.100 like Human Events with Jack Posobiec.
00:06:55.120 All right, Jack Posobiec, we're back.
00:06:59.400 Human Events daily, Washington, D.C.
00:07:01.260 Are you tired of progressive corporations and exhausted trying to keep up with all the virtue signaling when you're trying to go shopping?
00:07:10.000 Progressive corporate America continues to push this woke messaging that alienates conservative Americans and erodes our American dream.
00:07:18.060 You see it everywhere.
00:07:19.500 Companies like Starbucks strong arming their customers to support abortion.
00:07:23.340 Financial services like PayPal canceling customers for their political views.
00:07:27.360 And corporations like Disney promoting gender ideology when all you want to do is take your kid to a movie. 1.00
00:07:32.440 Thankfully, we don't have to spend our hard-earned dollars to fund these companies anymore.

00:08:26.140 I really want to focus in on this gag order.
00:08:29.680 Raheem Kassam, the editor-in-chief of The National Pulse, joins us.
00:08:34.020 Raheem, a foreign-born judge from a family of foreign communists has just placed a gag order on the president of the United States.
00:08:45.060 People are outraged.
00:08:46.580 What is going on?
00:08:48.760 Yeah, thanks for having me, Jack.
00:08:50.300 I'm disappointed, by the way, that you missed the segue of, and now to somebody who knows what a woman is.
00:08:56.380 Well, it was either that or, and to our favorite foreign-born correspondent.
00:09:03.880 Yeah, the foreign-born commentator talking about the foreign-born judge.
00:09:07.260 Commentator, yeah.
00:09:07.720 And isn't that just the way now, in America today, that, you know, and I say this with a sense of great irony about it, that actually, because of, I think, several decades of the country being repeatedly sold out, not just by the left, but by the right, you know, the free market right for so very long, outsourcing everything, you know, to foreign countries.
00:09:31.200 You have ended up in this situation where some of your top business leaders, some of your top companies, indeed, some of your top legislators and judges are, and I would say political commentators, are not from the United States of America.
00:09:45.760 And that can work if those people have subscribed actively to the values that are enshrined, you know, not just in your constitution, but in everything that's come since that point to make clear and to underscore the ideas, the principles, the spirit of the nation writ large.
00:10:09.440 And what Judge Chutkan has done today is actually something that goes and stabs right at that spirit, stabs right at that heart of the nation, not just because it is Donald Trump that is being gagged here.
00:10:23.960 I would be similarly apoplectic if it was someone on the left being gagged in a situation like this.
00:10:31.580 But because she has effectively argued that he does not have your very first fundamental right, that your founders found it, you know, just essential to even the idea of having a nation, and that is the right to say whatever the heck you please.
00:10:51.080 That is what we're dealing with today. The foreign-born judge with her Marxist background is now demanding that Donald Trump no longer speak about that. 0.99
00:11:02.500 No longer speak about, by the way, the foreign-dwelling Jack Smith. We often forget that. Jack Smith doesn't even live in America anymore. He left. He lives in The Hague now.
00:11:11.700 And you can't talk about that. You can't talk about his staff. It's a complete, you don't hear me being outraged that often, but it is a complete, disgusting situation today.
00:11:23.420 You know, Raheem, this is actually interesting because you tie this, and I think rightly so, to mass migration, mass immigration that the U.S. and really the West writ large has faced over the past 30 or so years.
00:11:36.660 And, of course, it was the left that championed this largely as well as elements of the right, the libertarians, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce for low-wage workers.
00:11:44.220 But now, all of a sudden, in many countries, you're seeing these pro-Hamas rallies. You're seeing this on campuses as well.
00:11:51.540 And you've got members of the leaders of this intersectionality coalition asking, how could this be?
00:11:57.840 Why do we have to worry about things like this in places like, oh, I don't know, London, England being filled with pro-Hamas protesters and potentially, of course, worse, as Donald Trump Jr. once called them.
00:12:11.320 Everyone knows, you might get a bad skittle every once in a while.
00:12:16.260 Yeah, look, if only somebody had written two books about this called No-Go Zones and Enoch was right.
00:12:23.080 The first book I wrote in 2017, I went to go on.
00:12:27.340 The first book I wrote was 2017, No-Go Zones, where I went to these Muslim-dominated neighborhoods around the United States and around Europe and documented in quite academic fashion, by the way.
00:12:39.740 It's not a sexy book.
00:12:42.060 It's very dry in observations and data and sort of walks you through, like, here is what these people believe.
00:12:49.220 They are willing to openly say it to me in an interview.
00:12:51.980 They are willing to graffiti it on the walls of the neighborhoods of Molenbeck and Rinkeby and all of these places in London, in East London and Tower Hamlets especially.
00:13:02.900 And so it's not the case that you're dealing with a group of people here who, like, oh, they may assimilate or their kids or their grandkids may assimilate.
00:13:12.120 No, they have moved and ghettoized and made it a point that, like, actually we stand, you know, completely opposed to what you guys stand for in the West.
00:13:22.200 And so that was the first one.
00:13:23.740 And the second one, it's interesting you say that because, you know, Enoch Powell, for those that don't know him, get that book, Enoch Was Right, and read about his 1968 Rivers of Blood speech.
00:13:34.720 And then understand that Powell actually is the health secretary of the United Kingdom, presided over one of the largest immigration efforts to fuel the health care system, the National Health Service in Britain.
00:13:49.280 But he was very clear about why.
00:13:51.260 And he said, look, if the people come here and they want to stay here, they have to assimilate.
00:13:54.980 They have to learn the language.
00:13:55.940 And he was even in favor of interracial marriage so that people would assimilate faster and families would become more British quicker.
00:14:03.360 But he said, if you're not willing to do that, you have to go back.
00:14:06.500 You must go back.
00:14:07.240 We don't have room in this country for people that want to create different enclaves or fifth columns.
00:14:13.060 And so now that is what we're dealing with.
00:14:14.720 And, of course, Enoch Powell was probably the first canceled man in modernity, at least.
00:14:19.580 And now you see why, because they didn't want us catching on to all of this.
00:14:25.260 Raheem, one of the biggest pieces that you put up, I think, in the last couple hours at the National Pulse was a piece on the new campaign manager of
00:14:33.220 RFK.
00:14:34.140 Why is the National Pulse focused on RFK's campaign manager so much?
00:14:39.720 Well, listen, I thought it was really fascinating that the second the RFK decides, hey, I'm not going to run as a Democrat anymore.
00:14:46.600 I'm going to run as an independent.
00:14:48.340 And we know that he said that he actually fancies that he'll take more votes away from Trump as a result of this move.
00:14:54.920 And it struck me as very interesting that he dropped Dennis Gysinich, you know, former congressman, former mayor, and replaced him with a CIA agent.
00:15:04.840 Now, that CIA agent happens to be his daughter-in-law, Amaryllis Fox Kennedy.
00:15:10.300 But, you know, people say former CIA agent.
00:15:12.960 I happen to believe that no such thing exists.
00:15:14.920 And I happen to believe that now we're witnessing an operation, a deep state operation, to try and pull as many votes away.
00:15:22.960 I mean, even if he pulls, you know, 5,000, 10,000 in the right places away from Trump, that would be an absolute disaster at the election.
00:15:31.740 I think that is what's going on now.
00:15:33.540 I have people speaking to me about what's going on with the no-label stuff as well, which is also very dangerous.
00:15:39.960 We'll have to, you know, dive into that at length at some point.
00:15:45.160 But this is not a situation, and people need to get it clear in their heads.
00:15:48.440 There's not a situation where you go, oh, he hurts Biden more.
00:15:51.400 There's no evidence to suggest that.
00:15:53.120 The evidence suggests that they are going after a certain type of independent voter that Donald Trump needs to carry at the next election.
00:15:59.380 Well, and we're seeing this right now as we look at the Polish election results roll in.
00:16:04.300 They're still on their way in.
00:16:05.600 But there's this third, so the Conservative Party won a plurality, yet there's this third party, major third party that ran that only picked up 12%, but they promised now essentially to caucus with the left.
00:16:20.120 This may topple the entire government of Poland over the very same playbook that we were talking about with RFK.
00:16:27.620 But it's only 12%.
00:16:28.700 It almost certainly will.
00:16:31.400 It almost certainly will.
00:16:32.480 I mean, this is what happened to David Cameron's should have been majority in the United Kingdom in 2010.
00:16:37.880 He ended up having to enter into a governing coalition with the Liberal Democrats and making Nick Clegg, you know, now of meta fame, his deputy prime minister.
00:16:46.440 And what happened in those intervening years?
00:16:48.940 Mass migration skyrocketed because the Liberal Democrats in government demanded it.
00:16:53.100 Education went down the toilet, continuing Tony Blair's tradition on this.
00:16:57.600 And they're just running the playbook.
00:16:59.100 This is what frustrates me.
00:16:59.960 I want to shake every American by the lapels and say they're just running the playbook they've run everywhere else.
00:17:05.440 This is not new.
00:17:06.380 You don't have to have a tinfoil hat on.
00:17:08.400 You know, there's no Q drops involved here.
00:17:10.560 Just running the plays that have worked for them everywhere else.
00:17:17.020 Amazing.
00:17:17.660 Raheem, only about a minute left.
00:17:19.440 Where can people follow you?
00:17:20.460 What's the National Pulse focused on this week?
00:17:23.680 So very much.
00:17:24.780 Obviously, we respond to all the breaking news in real time.
00:17:27.820 But also, if you go and check out thenationalpulse.com, download the National Pulse app, Android and iOS, because then you get the push notifications of all of the things we're focused on.
00:17:38.760 There is, I was going to say very little noise.
00:17:41.480 There is no noise involved when it comes to our reporting at thenationalpulse.com.
00:17:45.460 Thanks, Jack.
00:17:47.180 No noise.
00:17:48.440 That's why you go to the National Pulse.
00:17:50.400 You know, I got to say, obviously, slightly a competitor with humanevents.com, but I got to say that National Pulse website, it's very clean.
00:17:57.960 It's easy to read.
00:17:59.320 Short articles.
00:18:00.460 This is key.
00:18:01.120 This is something that I think a lot of people like.
00:18:03.300 I find myself really enjoying it.
00:18:05.220 It's what you need.
00:18:06.780 It's just enough.
00:18:08.340 Then it gives you links if you want more, but you're not endlessly scrolling.
00:18:12.080 And, in fact, you're consuming more information and more stories when you go there.
00:18:16.200 Raheem's got the editor notes up as well.
00:18:18.240 Always a pleasure to have him on.
00:18:19.860 Darren Beattie is going to join us next.
00:18:22.580 The hyper escalation.
00:18:24.360 Beattie called this last week when we were on the show. 0.72
00:18:27.000 We've been warning about it.
00:18:28.120 Mearsheimer's warning.
00:18:29.140 A two-front global conflict.
00:18:32.460 Guess what?
00:18:33.220 We're in it now, and Taiwan hasn't even started yet.
00:18:37.240 Stay tuned, folks.
00:18:37.840 You talk about influencers.
00:18:42.240 These are influencers, and they're friends of mine.
00:18:46.480 Jack Prusovic.
00:18:48.000 Where's Jack?
00:18:48.960 Jack.
00:18:49.920 He's done a great job.
00:18:54.940 Hi, folks.
00:18:55.800 We're back.
00:18:56.180 Human Events Daily, Washington, D.C.
00:18:58.000 Folks, I'm not going to mince words.
00:19:00.880 The world is quickly descending into chaos.
00:19:03.960 And then, guess what?
00:19:04.600 The next medical crisis is just around the corner, too.
00:19:07.040 Whether it's another pandemic or something closer to home, preparedness is no longer an option.
00:19:13.100 It's a necessity.
00:19:14.440 That's where today's episode sponsor, The Wellness Company, comes in.

00:20:12.540 Darren Beattie of Revolver News joins us.
00:20:15.880 And as we bring Darren in, we have some breaking potential airstrikes in Damascus, Syria.
00:20:22.460 We heard airstrikes in Aleppo, rocket attacks that may hit the outskirts of Jerusalem.
00:20:28.140 The Israeli Knesset, essentially their parliament, had to be evacuated at one point today.
00:20:33.180 Darren, are things spiraling out of control?
00:20:36.040 And are we seeing the hyper escalation that you warned about last week?
00:20:42.440 Well, it might be premature to say that, but we're certainly seeing a buildup of substantial potential energy.
00:20:50.920 It is, you know, the kindling is there.
00:20:54.320 Everything is set up for a much larger conflagration.
00:20:59.900 But it remains to be seen.
00:21:02.020 You know, there is a potential de-escalation scenario, but things are building up such that, in a worst case, one can imagine the entire region erupting in conflict.
00:21:16.660 And so what's interesting to me, Darren, and I started the show saying, you know, 2,000 American troops may go boots on the ground here.
00:21:24.400 We're hearing that out of the Pentagon under Austin, which, you know, of course, no one can really question Austin's pedigree, his experience, his competence, truly just, you know, all the makings of a military genius in the shade of Patton right there in the footsteps of Patton.
00:21:38.360 And then also these two aircraft carriers, that's 10,000 souls right there.
00:21:44.760 Seems like the potential for escalation is at the fore.
00:21:48.220 But at the same time, we're seeing different types of signals out of bricks.
00:21:53.080 You've talked about the rise of bricks, the sort of shift from a unipolar world run by what you've called the globalist American empire, the GAE, into a world shared by poles like the BRICS nations, the Muslim world. 0.55
00:22:09.640 We're seeing that kind of shift.
00:22:11.260 What role does BRICS play here?
00:22:12.840 What kind of signals are they sending?
00:22:13.900 Well, that's an interesting question.
00:22:17.440 And, you know, we have to, to some degree, disaggregate the components of the acronym.
00:22:23.640 Although, you know, South Africa, which is a geopolitically irrelevant country, I think South African president came out and made some statement in support of Hamas, or at least indirectly in support of Hamas.
00:22:37.820 I think the most interesting statements, if not the most inflammatory, really come from China, which has technically kind of adopted a posture of neutrality, but still kind of strikes Israel the wrong way.
00:22:54.920 And I think needs to be interpreted in the light of China making a major geopolitical play for Arabia.
00:23:05.240 And, you know, that's sort of the larger context of these things is that Arabia now more than ever, or at least in a very long time, is indeed up for grabs geopolitically.
00:23:16.880 So it's actually very smart for China to do this.
00:23:21.140 And, of course, Russia, Putin has made statements.
00:23:24.160 And, again, it's not like any of these people are celebrating Hamas, although the president of Colombia came very close to doing so.
00:23:31.120 I think he compared the IDF Nazis.
00:23:33.120 But when you look at Putin and China, it's more sort of re-between the lines, not incendiary, but definitely telegraph geopolitical sympathy, at least for Gaza, which really is, you know, they could probably care less about the Gazans, but it's about what the geopolitical map looks like.
00:23:57.840 And, obviously, from Russia's point of view, you know, Putin's got to be very frustrated with what he would surely interpret to be the hypocrisy of the American attitude and permissiveness with respect to Israel as compared to what his operation was in the Ukraine, which, by all measures, is probably much more conscientious about, you know, certain, you know, casualties about and just.
00:24:26.880 Well, I've got the numbers on that, actually.
00:24:29.240 Yeah.
00:24:29.640 Yeah.
00:24:29.860 And the numbers on that show that in just one week, in one week of the strategic bombing from the IDF on just the Gaza Strip, this isn't any bombing, which is a tiny little area, as opposed to, I don't know, the entire territory of Ukraine or even the West Bank.
00:24:48.220 This is double the size of D.C.
00:24:50.020 That's how big it is.
00:24:51.160 Now, it is intensely, densely populated.
00:24:53.740 So we're talking three times the population of D.C.
00:24:56.480 More children have been killed in the Israel-Gaza conflict over the past week than have been killed in the entire Russo-Ukrainian war, over 18 months of fighting.
00:25:09.140 And we're being told that they are on pace to meet, to surpass the civilian death total in aggregate.
00:25:17.220 So the total civilian deaths may outpace the entire Russo-Ukrainian war in the first two weeks of this thing.
00:25:23.920 Right.
00:25:25.560 So, I mean, you can imagine if you're Putin, whatever you think about the, you know, Russia-Ukrainian situation, if you're Putin, you've got to be kind of frustrated with what you would interpret to be the hypocrisy.
00:25:37.480 And, of course, with Russia, there is this kind of reactive aspect that, you know, now the situation has deteriorated so much with the U.S.
00:25:47.140 That they're going to take, you know, the opposite posture of whatever they perceive the U.S. to be taking and, you know, lean into their sort of rhetorical public diplomatic strategy, pointing out what they perceive to be hypocrisies in U.S. foreign policy.
00:26:07.000 So that's kind of where Putin is.
00:26:09.080 With China, it's less about pointing out the hypocrisy. 0.87
00:26:13.440 Before you leave for Putin, this also, in a sense, gives him a little bit more of a free hand, though, because now the eyes of the world have really turned away from Ukraine-Russia.
00:26:22.600 Zelensky was just rejected for a visit to, he requested to visit Israel.
00:26:28.340 Israel said, yeah, no thanks.
00:26:30.240 So it's kind of amazing how Israel actually ended the Ukraine war, at least in terms of media coverage.
00:26:37.000 So Putin's essentially got a free hand up there.
00:26:38.880 Yeah, no, we have a new conflict that's vastly more important and consequential to the American public than the Russia-Ukraine thing.
00:26:49.780 So in a way, it's kind of the best thing that ever happened to Putin.
00:26:52.500 It's a remarkable distraction.
00:26:56.960 And my understanding is a lot of Ukrainians are actually upset with the latest Middle East praise because it's kind of stolen a lot of their thunder.
00:27:07.500 But, you know, that's how it is.
00:27:09.180 So it's in that respect, it's absolutely very, very good for Putin.
00:27:14.720 That's right.
00:27:15.300 And you were saying about China.
00:27:17.440 Yeah.
00:27:17.960 And with China, it's this less of a hostile.
00:27:20.800 I mean, with Russia and the U.S., it's much more, I think, pointed.
00:27:25.540 They're much more interested in pointing out hypocrisies.
00:27:28.460 Their situation is really deteriorated.
00:27:30.840 With the Chinese, it's much more thinking in dispassionately in terms of what the larger kind of long-term geopolitical play is. 0.67
00:27:40.500 And they're absolutely right to understand Arabia to be up for grabs in a way that it hasn't been for a long time. 0.73
00:27:48.060 Not just Arabia, but the Islamic world generally.
00:27:51.340 They've made a pretty substantial energy deal with Iran recently, which is not immaterial to this analysis.
00:28:02.500 And we might recall that China actually played a role in an initial phase of rapprochement between Saudi Arabia and Iran.
00:28:14.500 And it looks like that was only the first chapter.
00:28:18.600 The Saudis and Iranian counterparts had some sort of conversation where at least they weren't yelling at each other and agreed,
00:28:26.300 well, we have our differences, but we're both more or less in alignment over the Gaza situation.
00:28:34.800 So there are a lot of things up for grabs, a lot of things in motion.
00:28:38.520 And China is wisely capitalizing on that.
00:28:44.500 Well, and really, I mean, it bears without saying, but we should point out the role of Qatar is directly tied to their massive LNG reserves,
00:28:55.140 the role of Saudi Arabia, of Iran on the world stage.
00:28:59.520 This is their massive oil reserves.
00:29:01.040 This is OPEC.
00:29:02.260 This is showing that because the U.S. has decided to decline in terms of our output of production versus our consumption here domestically has receded from the world stage.
00:29:14.860 Of course, the boxing in of Russia in terms of their of their sanctions at the beginning of the war has actually given Saudi Arabia and Iran a much stronger position,
00:29:26.460 not only in the region, but in world affairs because precisely because of the isolation of Russia.
00:29:32.320 Right. You know, I mean, to some degree, there's sort of an implicit competitiveness, at least with respect to energy resources between Iran and Russia.
00:29:46.380 And that, you know, seeps into our geopolitical geopolitics or different other factors as well.
00:29:52.120 But that's absolutely one of the main ones, to be sure.
00:29:58.260 Now, so the real question then is for China.
00:30:01.080 We've just got about a minute left until the break, but I'll hold you over.
00:30:04.540 Foreign Minister Wang Yi came out very strongly saying the Palestinian issue and the issue of justice for Palestine and his words are the paramount issue of the Middle East.
00:30:16.160 Darren, is China making a play for the Middle East?
00:30:19.440 Well, absolutely. You know, it's what we've been saying.
00:30:23.200 They're making a big play for the Middle East or Arabia.
00:30:26.520 And this is the time to do it.
00:30:28.380 And, you know, interestingly, when one of the you know, it's not the sole factor, but a catalyzing factor for this was Arabian countries, principally Saudi Arabia, but others,
00:30:40.000 seeing just how quickly and abruptly the U.S. infrastructure canceled Russia.
00:30:45.020 And in order to not have that be their fate, they started hedging their bets in earnest.
00:30:50.580 And that, I think, is what really set a lot of this in motion, although there were other kind of deeper underlying factors as well.
00:30:58.040 I think it's a great point, actually, this idea that you can't trust the United States.
00:31:02.000 So make sure not make sure to hedge your bets.
00:31:04.700 We're talking to Darren Beattie. We will continue after the break. Human Events Daily.
00:31:09.020 Buzzing in my ear about the boring people at your office.
00:31:12.360 I'm trying to listen to the new Human Events with Jack Posobiec.
00:31:19.060 All right, folks, Jack Posobiec back live. Human Events Daily, Washington, D.C.
00:31:23.840 We're getting reports in that two are dead in a shooting in Brussels, Belgium.
00:31:28.720 The shooter allegedly yelled, Laak Barre.
00:31:31.700 We're working on getting video and confirmation of that, but it's just breaking news coming across the wire over the break.
00:31:39.260 As we were discussing with Darren Beattie, the rapidly changing events on the world stage, on the domestic stage as well.
00:31:48.520 Darren, isn't it interesting, by the way, and I'd love to get your comment on this,
00:31:51.800 that the situation that Europe faces when it comes to the rise of radicalization, the fact that, and we talked about this before,
00:32:00.900 the fact that there are so many of these pro-Palestinian, pro-Hamas rallies going on,
00:32:06.880 Trump facing his, or being gagged in Washington, D.C. today,
00:32:12.480 both are outgrowths of the increase in immigration that the West has performed to itself over the last 30, 35 years. 0.90
00:32:21.800 Well, absolutely. I mean, this is not something that's new, although I guess Henry Kissinger, who's like 100 years old now,
00:32:30.860 has finally come to the realization that massive third-world immigration into Europe wasn't actually the hottest idea. 0.82
00:32:38.520 He's on his way out the door and, oh, by the way.
00:32:41.800 Right, right. I've had an epiphany. I'm 100 years old now.
00:32:45.320 I mean, it's really remarkable. It should be common sense to anyone, and it's not just sort of importing,
00:32:53.600 unnecessarily importing foreign conflict. It's in all sorts of other things.
00:32:58.800 It's ground-level crime. You know, there was recently a major report about the situation in Sweden,
00:33:04.880 of how it's become like a gangland, you know, a gangster's paradise.
00:33:09.420 You know, hat tip to Julio. You know, this is-
00:33:15.560 It was actually one of the first documentaries. It was sort of a mini-documentary I did all the way back
00:33:20.540 in 2017. We called it Invasion Sweden, How Sweden Became the Rape Capital of the West. 0.88
00:33:26.140 And that's exactly what we talked about, because you would have these Arab gangs that have been 0.83
00:33:31.800 operating in Sweden for quite some time. But now Somali gangs were coming in. And this was in 0.96
00:33:38.140 Malmo, specifically in Rosengard, where, of course, I took Tanya Day there, along with,
00:33:44.520 to help film, because they didn't have a crew at the time. It was just the two of us flying solo,
00:33:47.660 basically. And that's exactly what we found. It was this gang warfare between two sides of rival
00:33:54.020 migrant gangs. And you go to some of these areas, it's like little Mogadishu.
00:33:57.740 Right. Yeah. I mean, that's clearly a product of, you know, fairly recent push across the board in
00:34:06.840 the West for massive replacement level immigration from the third world. And, you know, there's a lot 1.00
00:34:14.100 of stakeholders for and against. And, you know, I think we're seeing one component of that in the
00:34:20.340 recent reevaluation of this policy due to sympathies for, you know, Hamas and sort of extremism,
00:34:29.940 Islamic extremism generally. But there are, you know, there are many, many downsides to this policy
00:34:37.920 that is, you know, it's one of those things. There's not an easy solution at this point.
00:34:42.900 It's a product of decades of horrendous policy. And so these decision makers have put us in a very
00:34:49.700 difficult position where there's no real comfortable solution to the state of chaos and criminality that
00:34:57.340 prevails in so many Western countries and cities that it's totally unnecessary.
00:35:03.200 And Darren, at the same time, we also saw last week, the Black Lives Matter movement come out
00:35:09.000 in full support, not just of the Palestinian people, but also in full support of Hamas.
00:35:15.960 Isn't it interesting that the very same type of rhetoric, the very same type of ideological,
00:35:23.020 shall we say, justification for violence that is given to Hamas also plays out in BLM and BLM
00:35:31.060 supporting communities here in the United States?
00:35:35.440 Absolutely. Well, this is, you know, what they people call
00:35:38.700 intersectionality. It's basically sort of resolving differences amongst various minority groups by,
00:35:48.880 you know, emphasizing on a narrative level, common grievances against, say, colonialism and this or
00:35:58.320 that. And so this is why, you know, you have this political alliance between, you know, Hamas
00:36:05.440 sympathizers, BLM and so forth. And of course, at the organizational level, there's a lot of overlap
00:36:11.340 too. But it's more pointed than that. Because when you look at the whole issue of
00:36:16.200 BDS, you know, they in their minds, there's this direct
00:36:20.940 parallel between, okay, you know, the anti apartheid pause and what they consider to be an apartheid
00:36:28.060 situation in Israel. So there's a lot of sort of history to that that helps make sense on a narrative
00:36:35.700 level to why this is going on. And of course, you know, there's also a simple element of a lot of
00:36:41.640 these people just say, okay, who are the people that are, you know, white or more white in this
00:36:48.140 situation? And those are going to be the bad guys. I think it really is a kind of, it is that simple
00:36:53.580 psychologically for many of the, you know, the foot soldiers, but you know, on the organizational
00:36:58.600 level, there's a lot more heavy lifting that goes into maintaining this kind of alliance.
00:37:04.840 I think that's right. By the way, we have this clip ready. So guys, let's play that clip. This is
00:37:10.660 reportedly out of Brussels, Belgium, just moments ago.
00:37:23.580 And so Darren, the reason I play this, and you know, we're talking about America here is that
00:37:41.560 we have the same situation because they've bred this with the BLM movement. It only takes one BLM 0.93
00:37:47.680 member to become this radicalized to create a spark. We had the Dallas police shootings that
00:37:53.640 were done by a black separatist. We had the Waukesha Christmas parade, which was a massacre 0.99
00:37:58.260 of a, of a white crowd of white Christians by a black separatist, a black nationalist and avowed 0.95
00:38:06.060 black nationalist. And so the reason this rhetoric continues and is so dangerous is because we see it
00:38:11.460 playing out right here. And, and again, the same words, colonizer, you must rise up, you must fight
00:38:18.580 back. And I think you are right. I think that by and large, a lot of, a lot of folks on the left or,
00:38:24.160 or in some of these movements, you know, they look at Israel, Gaza, and they just see, they just say,
00:38:28.700 well, this is the white group and this is the brown group. So that's how we know who to support at the 0.64
00:38:32.060 end.
00:38:33.460 Yeah, no, exactly. And, you know, even without, you know, the, the added
00:38:38.940 problem of these kinds of radical ideologies, I think it's fair to say, we all, we already have,
00:38:46.520 you know, pretty much an epidemic situation of criminality and violence throughout America's
00:38:52.520 inner cities. And so these kinds of additional ideological justifications simply serve to
00:38:59.060 exacerbate an already impossible, you know, situation.
00:39:02.920 Well, and one thing that I do find interesting, and I know it's only two minutes, but I'd love to
00:39:09.120 have you on and talk about this longer. I think one of the reasons that the day of rage last week,
00:39:13.600 the day of jihad was not, shall we say, well attended, was because these types of operations
00:39:19.280 actually do require planning. So now think back to the summer of love in 2020, BLM Antifa,
00:39:26.340 and really make us ask the question, was that really just a spontaneous outgrowth of the George
00:39:32.440 Floyd video, or was it something in fact organized?
00:39:36.560 Yes, that's, that's very plausible. The other option, which is not mutually exclusive to what
00:39:42.320 you say, but it could be another component is that simply as a matter of, you know, destructive
00:39:51.040 mobilization, America's inner city populations are even more problematic than potential Islamic 1.00
00:39:59.420 radicals. And, you know, it could have been a different situation if instead of the call to
00:40:05.120 jihad, there was, you know, another, you know, George Floyd type of that. And that's simply the sort
00:40:10.720 of thing that can catalyze, you know, very disruptive kind of riot scenarios just on the basis of the
00:40:20.060 population that's mobilized. Darren, about a minute left. Where can people go to follow
00:40:25.680 Revolver? What do you guys have cooked up this week? Revolver.news, we have a brand new white
00:40:31.120 hot piece that dropped just about 20 minutes ago about a certain Mar Bittar, who is a Palestinian
00:40:38.200 radical, who is a top level intel official in the Biden regime, who surprise, surprise happens to be
00:40:45.840 a longtime colleague and friend of none other than color revolution architect, Norm Eisen. So go to
00:40:52.640 revolver.news and read about this Mar Bittar individual.
00:40:57.800 Darren Beattie somehow is able to tie literally everything back to Norm Eisen.
00:41:03.400 It's like, it's like the one centerpiece of the globalist American empire, six, six degrees of
00:41:10.040 you, you should, you guys should do an article. Maybe, maybe, maybe Ames can help you with this
00:41:14.160 one. Just a six degrees of Norm Eisen and just have it go out from, from Ukraine to BLM to

00:41:25.240 Uh, really appreciate it, man. Thank you.
00:41:29.160 I'm always listening to Human Events with Jack Posobiec.
00:41:31.920 Ladies and gentlemen, we go now live to the 45th president of the United States,
00:41:35.900 Donald J. Trump takes a stage in Iowa.
00:41:40.760 Wow. Thank you very much. And this is, by the way, one of the truly most respected people in all
00:41:47.260 of politics, beyond your state, beyond anywhere. So I just want to thank you. That was a really
00:41:52.680 wonderful thing, the industry. Thank you very much. Ah, that was nice. Very nice. Thank you
00:42:02.900 very much. Thank you. USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! Well, thank you very much. And, uh, we're
00:42:14.980 going to discuss a little thing about caucuses today, right? We got to get out. We got to
00:42:19.020 get this vote. And we're going to be tremendously successful. And they say it's A-DAL. A-DAL.
00:42:25.360 Please say it. Don't say a DAL. Let's say A-DAL. And you got to, I wouldn't get that wrong 0.83
00:42:29.840 for anything. That's not even a chance. But I really appreciate such a big crowd on such
00:42:34.220 short notice. And we're going to do another one, uh, in a little while. And, uh, we just
00:42:38.720 love being with you. We love being with Iowa. You've been, uh, now Biden would say love
00:42:43.460 being with, uh, Florida. I said, you're in Iowa. Even the palm trees don't make a difference.
00:42:48.700 You know, it's these palm trees. It's wonderful to be in. It's wonderful to be in Florida and
00:42:52.900 you're in Iowa. He gets a lot of them mixed up. If that ever happened to me, it would be
00:42:57.740 over. Did you see him on 60 Minutes last night? The questions? Isn't it true that you really
00:43:03.840 like Israel a lot and that you'll do this and this? And he goes, yes. Isn't it true? 0.92
00:43:09.500 They don't treat me that way in 60 Minutes, I want to tell you. It's a little bit different,
00:43:13.700 but we like it the way we have it, right? And you should go and, you know, sit down. I don't
00:43:18.320 want you to stand here for 45 minutes, right? Although it's not a bad idea. I'd rather have
00:43:23.980 it stand right here because having your endorsement is such a great honor. And I just want to thank
00:43:28.800 you. Okay? Thank you very much. Again, thank you. Have a good time. I should keep her up
00:43:37.440 here the whole time, right? Because having that endorsement is very meaningful to me and
00:43:41.560 to everybody. It's a very respected, that's a very respected person. But I also thank you
00:43:47.440 very much. Thank you very much, sir. I appreciate it. I also want to thank, we have some great
00:43:52.100 friends here. We have State Representative Bobby Kaufman. Where's Bobby? Where's Bobby?
00:43:58.520 Bobby? Thank you, Bobby. What a job they're doing. Mike Sexton. Mike. Thank you. Thank
00:44:05.840 you, Mike. Good job. State Senators Tim Cranbrink. Thank you, Tim. These are all people that
00:44:13.780 endorse. People that don't endorse, we don't have them. Now they're all calling. You know,
00:44:19.480 the sanctimonious bombed. He bombed. He doesn't like ethanol. He doesn't like Social Security.
00:44:25.340 And he doesn't like Medicare. Other than that, he's doing quite well, right?
00:44:29.820 Brad's on. Brad. Brad. He was the first. Come on, Brad. Come on. Get up here, Brad. Fast,
00:44:37.480 fast, fast. Come on. You know, he was the first one in the whole country to endorse me.
00:44:41.980 I didn't even know I was running. Come here. You want to say something? Come on. Go ahead.
00:44:50.460 Is he awesome or what? Yay! The next President of the United States. And I'm honored to be the
00:44:59.640 first person to endorse you. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you,
00:45:02.600 Mr. President. Thank you. I call him the Marlboro Man. He looks like the Marlboro Man to me.
00:45:08.040 He could do anything. But you know, it's true. He endorsed me before I even ran. He said,
00:45:14.060 there's a guy in New York that'd be great. We got to get him, Trump. And not too long after that,
00:45:20.280 we announced. So he was definitely our first endorsement and a great, wonderful guy. And
00:45:24.460 these people have been there with me from the beginning. And another one that's been here,
00:45:29.720 and he's a terrific person, a great football player, by the way, Matt Whitaker, who's around
00:45:34.940 someplace. Matt's around someplace. Thank you, Matt. He's a very, very loyal and wonderful man.
00:45:43.240 He really has. He's been a wonderful man. And he's got a very special person looking down on him
00:45:49.560 because a very special person who passed away not so long ago is looking down on Matt. And Matt is
00:45:55.820 amazing. I mean, what you have to go through. But I just want to thank you. And that's true.
00:46:02.500 That person, you know who we're talking about, looking down on you and proud of his father. Okay?
00:46:12.000 And here today, we're really talking about commit to caucus. Did you ever hear that expression?
00:46:18.220 Don't forget, you have the caucus and you're first in the nation because of a certain person named
00:46:23.360 Trump. Don't let anyone tell you it was somebody else. Now, the people I introduced, they're pushing me
00:46:28.820 very hard. But we decided to do that and we wanted to do it. And we did it. And I made that promise to you
00:46:36.120 a long time ago. You'll never be anywhere else but exactly where you are. First in nation. Exactly 91 days.
00:46:43.200 Can you imagine? 91 days. Are you ready? Are you ready? Wow. You know, we had a very bad thing happen in the last election.
00:46:54.440 And I said, either we're going to flip it, we're going to get honest people, or we're going to just have to wait
00:47:00.620 and do it. And we set a record. We got the we did much better in the second one than we did in the first one.
00:47:06.380 We set a record in votes. We get 12 million more votes. But just think of it. And I said, one way or the other.
00:47:13.220 But the other, we have to wait four years. Now, four years is down to 91 days before we start with the caucus.
00:47:18.500 And we're going to have great success. We won, as you know, we won the election twice by a lot in Iowa.
00:47:24.600 And
00:47:25.600 And it's not a Republican. I don't, you know, I shouldn't be saying this, but it's not necessarily
00:47:31.880 a guaranteed Republican deal here. You had other people win it. We won't mention their names, but
00:47:37.400 they won. But we won it twice and we won it by a lot. And I sounded very cocky. They said, please don't
00:47:44.000 say that again, sir. I said, how the hell do I lose Iowa? I got twenty eight billion dollars
00:47:48.540 for the farmers, right? Twenty eight billion. They said, sir, you shouldn't take it, you
00:47:53.040 know, take it for granted. I guess they would tell me, don't please don't take it for granted,
00:47:57.240 sir. It doesn't sound right. But I got twenty eight billion. So I'm taking it for granted.
00:48:01.560 Who the hell? And they came. The money came from China. You think getting twenty eight billion 0.88
00:48:06.900 from China, because what they did to you is they took advantage of Iowa and the farm states, 1.00
00:48:12.060 a very serious advantage for a long time. And I found out how much it was. And they said
00:48:16.180 it's twenty eight billion. And we took in hundreds of billions of dollars. No other president
00:48:20.560 took in ten cents. We took in hundreds of billions of dollars. And no president ever even asked
00:48:26.680 them. No president would. Do you think Biden would say, you know, the farmers in Iowa and
00:48:31.060 Nebraska and different states, Wisconsin, they got very, very badly hurt. And we think you should
00:48:37.700 pay twenty eight billion. And I didn't do it exactly that way. I did it a little bit differently
00:48:41.540 than that. But it was a very effective approach, obviously, because they paid you twenty eight
00:48:45.920 billion. And a lot of people in this room have big, beautiful tractors and extra land.
00:48:50.360 I said, here's what you have to do. Just stick with me. We're going to make a great trade
00:48:53.720 deal because, you know, we did the USMCA. We did a lot of great things. But the best deal
00:48:59.420 was the deal I made with China, where they pay fifty billion. You know, originally it was
00:49:04.020 fifteen billion. The number was always fifteen. That was at their maximum. That's what they
00:49:08.300 got. And I went to my people and I said, what's the number you're talking? They said
00:49:12.680 fifteen. So they said fifteen. I said, oh, OK. So I thought they meant fifty. In other
00:49:19.880 words, I misunderstood them. I'm going to tell everybody I'm going to get you fifty. They
00:49:25.120 said, sure, it's fifteen. I said, it's too late. I've already said. No, I said, so get
00:49:29.840 me fifty. We want fifty. They went back. They said, we have to have fifty. He's not going to
00:49:33.480 take less than fifty. And they got it. We got it. So think of that one. Is there something
00:49:42.080 wrong with my hearing? What's going on over here? I thought it was, I thought they said
00:49:45.320 fifty. Actually, that turned out to be a very good thing. And it was a great deal. But
00:49:48.860 then COVID came and that was a whole new ballgame. I sort of didn't, I don't even
00:49:52.520 talk about that deal. But that was one of the greatest deals. And, you know, the one
00:49:56.720 thing is you have to have a president that knows how to push it. I'd go to the office
00:50:00.320 every day and I'd say, how's China doing today? Are they buying? Are they buying? Are they
00:50:03.640 buying? Because they have to buy it. And with me, they bought with Biden. They're not buying
00:50:08.720 like they're supposed to be buying. You know, they're sort of letting it sleep a little
00:50:11.840 bit. They're going to other countries to curry favor. But pretty soon we'll have them buying
00:50:16.760 again. We will have a buy. But still, I say that the economy basically it's just running
00:50:23.320 on our firms. We had the greatest economy in history. And the only reason we're doing okay
00:50:28.820 now and it's not very good. It's heading south very fast. You know, gasoline just hit five
00:50:33.820 and a half dollars a gallon. You saw that. We were at $1.87. We're actually lower than
00:50:39.680 that at some points. But it just hit five dollars, five and a half dollars. In California, it's
00:50:44.320 up to seven and eight dollars. So here we go again. Here we go again with this guy.
00:50:49.660 But I told you, buy larger tractors and more land. Remember when I was negotiating with China? 0.81
00:50:53.980 It took a while, but the farmers were very loyal. They didn't say, oh, what's he doing? Because
00:50:57.920 for a while, I said, you're going to suffer for a little while. I called a good negotiation.
00:51:03.080 But I said that to the farmers and they said, whatever it is. I'll never forget, I watched
00:51:06.780 a program, a show. Are you angry with President Trump? I said, no, he's doing the right thing.
00:51:12.540 It's going to take pain. And it was. It was painful for about six, seven months. Remember?
00:51:17.200 They took away. They didn't buy anything, didn't they? They purposely didn't buy anything.
00:51:23.220 But the farmers stuck. All they wanted was an even, a flat, nice, even playing field.
00:51:30.000 They didn't want anything. And I tell the story where I had 28, I think 28 or 32 farmers
00:51:35.500 at the Oval Office that we were talking. And I said, I'm going to get you subsidy and we're
00:51:40.140 going to get this and that. And one of them looked at me, speaking for the whole group,
00:51:43.760 said, sir, we don't want subsidy. We just want a level playing field. And we're better
00:51:48.220 than anybody else in the world. And that's what I got you.
