Jack Posobiec delivers the latest on the latest breaking news happening around the world, including the latest in the Middle East and Latin America, as well as the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas in the region, and the ongoing situation in Ukraine.
00:05:09.540America, we're funding all sides of every conflict in the Middle East right now.
00:05:15.260Every side, Stephen Miller pointed out on Twitter.
00:05:17.680Every side is getting U.S. dollars at this point.
00:05:22.300And my question is, and I see Speaker Johnson up there talking about his questions, but we're going to continue the fight in Ukraine and Putin cannot prevail and all these things.
00:05:32.260My question is, in the midst of all this atrocity, in the midst of all this horror, in the midst of all this brutality, and I can keep going, I can find cartel videos every single day like this because it's going on every day.
00:06:18.120Is it so much to simply request that we get one speech for us?
00:06:24.120Ladies and gentlemen, one of the best ways that you can support us here at Human Events and the work that we do is subscribing to us on our Rumble channel.
00:06:35.500Make sure you're subscribed, you hit the notifications so you'll never miss a clip, you'll never miss a new live episode, and we're putting them out every single day of the week.
00:06:45.040Rolled with bloods, and them boys had a saying.
00:06:48.560You can't be listening to all that slappy, whack, trimatazolitzabam ship, nippy-bam-bam, like Human Events with Jack Posobiec.
00:06:58.980All right, Jack Posobiec back here live, Human Events Daily, Washington, D.C.
00:07:03.360Folks, I got to tell you, there's a lot to be nervous about out there.
00:07:19.100If there's ever an emergency, and these people are not going to be prepared, or they run the risk of hurting themselves or others, there's no way around it.
00:08:44.920Guys, if we have a map of the Gaza Strip, let's do a little Semper Gumby around here today because this is breaking news.
00:08:51.760So let's put up some footage of Gaza earlier today from some of the bombing that went on.
00:08:57.900But if we can, I'd love to get a map up if at least the Gaza Strip, and if not that, at least the area so people can get some familiarization for what's going on.
00:09:05.800So this northern section of the Gaza Strip, so this is towards Tel Aviv, towards Ashkelon.
00:09:13.340This is why you're hearing so many of those rockets hitting there.
00:09:18.080Tel Aviv City is one of the largest populated areas in all of Israel.
00:09:23.040Now, for people to understand this in the area orientation, of course, the Gaza Strip is nestled between, okay, Israel on one side, the Mediterranean Sea on another, and then Egypt to the south.
00:09:33.960The West Bank is not directly connected to the Gaza Strip.
00:09:38.140So Gaza Strip is essentially Gaza City and then a couple other settlements to the south, most of Gaza City is in the north.
00:09:43.040And so when you're talking about these situations, I understand they can be a little confusing.
00:09:47.900Keep in mind, this entire state of Israel from the north all the way to the south, it's only about the size of New Jersey.
00:09:55.140We were there a couple, you know, was it a year ago?
00:09:58.540So we were there for about a week and a half, and we drove around literally from the northernmost end to almost the southernmost end.
00:10:05.140We went all the way down to the southern tip of the Dead Sea.
00:10:08.360We didn't go all the way down to the Red Sea.
00:10:09.780I'd love to someday, but it's just, it's, you know, too far through the desert with kids.
00:10:14.440But we drove all the way around this thing in a couple of days.
00:10:21.060We're hearing that U.S. Air Force, KC-135s, refueling tankers have arrived in the Middle East with their identifications hidden, their identification markings hidden.
00:10:29.940For those who don't know, the United States and Israel have been training with the U.S. Air Force on midair refueling for years.
00:10:38.500And so there's questions as to whether or not people are, you know, claiming whether or not these will be used for the Israeli Air Force.
00:10:44.520I don't think so personally, but you might be seeing more air interface with these strikes northerly into Syria.
00:10:54.240And now what people also need to understand about that clip we played earlier about the U.S. strikes within the territory of Syria.
00:11:02.060So, guys, if we can get a map up that shows Syria and Israel, this will explain it very quickly for people.
00:11:06.460So when they're talking about the United States hitting Syria, that doesn't mean the United States is attacking the Syrian army or even the Syrian government or Syrian-held areas.
00:11:17.660That's Syria to the north, Jordan mainly to the east of Israel and then Syria to the north.
00:11:22.660So the situation is that throughout the Middle East, throughout this region where the U.S. has bases in Syria, in Iraq, which is just to the east of Syria, you also have vast swaths of desert that aren't really controlled by any government.
00:11:38.660And in these areas, a lot of Iranian militia are active, al-Qaeda elements, ISIS elements, sort of, you know, vestiges of the ISIS caliphate are still active in some of these areas.
00:11:49.860But predominantly the largest and most powerful militias in these areas, the ones that have drones, the ones that have rocket fire capabilities that are going up against and really penetrating U.S. air defenses right now are the one, the Shia militias, Shia militia groups or SMGs in the areas it's referred to, backed by the Iranians.
00:12:08.120So they're backfilled by the Iranians.
00:12:10.100And you see these all throughout Iraq.
00:12:14.440Of course, Iran being a huge backer of Bashar al-Assad, as well as Russia is a huge backer of Assad because of their naval ports in Latakia and Tarsus.
00:12:23.640Now, the issue for the U.S. military is that these militias, and I said this earlier today on War Room, they're going to be given the green light.
00:12:33.320So once Israel, okay, once Israel goes in, and we're hearing as of this moment that Israel is putting in, okay, is coming into northern Gaza, Hamas has put out a statement.
00:12:45.540I think we can read that very quickly for everybody.
00:12:49.960So Hamas puts out their statement, Israel potentially coming in.
00:12:54.220They've announced the start of ground operations, the commencement of ground operations in north Gaza.
00:12:58.500We don't know if this is the full-scale ground operation yet.
00:13:01.220Time will tell, but the Internet has been cut out in Gaza.
00:13:06.860The communications have been cut out, cell phone services down.
00:13:09.960So the signals of that area, this is something that we would see that would predicate a large-scale ground operation.
00:13:17.040That being said, the reason that the U.S. military and Biden were hearing all these stories, that Biden was, of course, going to Bibi Netanyahu, going to the Israelis, going to IDF, saying, hold off until we can get more air defenses in the area, until we get more assets in the area.
00:13:33.240Those KC-135s, the air refuelers, mid-air refuelers are part of this, because they know that U.S. bases are going to come under attack once Israel goes in.
00:13:43.020You think these drones, these little rockets, these little bottle rockets that they've been firing at the U.S. bases right now are the real airstrikes?
00:14:40.100That's why you're seeing all these air assets be put into place.
00:14:42.560You're also seeing the potential for future strikes to come in.
00:14:47.200That's why the U.S. aircraft carriers and carrier battle groups have gone in.
00:14:51.180That being said, of course, all of this runs the risk of escalation, because if the Iranian militias go and hit back, if they kill soldiers, there's a real question of what the U.S. will do in terms of response.
00:15:05.040And there are people calling for full on, not just strikes on the Syrian militia group, or excuse me, the Iranian militia group bases, but there are people calling for direct strikes on Tehran as well.
00:15:17.920U.S., you know, F-18s probably wouldn't have the range for that for where they're situated right now in the East Med.
00:15:23.580But that doesn't necessarily mean that the U.S. doesn't have strike capabilities, because, of course, we have U.S. ballistic missile submarines all over the place.
00:15:32.220I promised that I would read this Hamas statement, so I will.
00:15:35.720Okay, in the name of Allah, okay, we know that part.
00:15:41.220Cutting off communications and the Internet from the Gaza Strip and escalating the bombardment by land, sea, and air on residential neighborhoods warns the occupation's intention to commit more massacres and genocide around the world.
00:15:54.760We hold the occupation, Washington, and Western capitals that supported it fully responsible.
00:16:02.060We call on the Arab and Islamic countries and the international community to take immediate action to stop the crimes and series of massacres against our people.
00:16:11.940So what they're saying here is, what they're saying is, they hold the U.S. accountable.
00:16:17.540They hold Western capitals accountable.
00:16:21.440This is an activation call that they're putting out.
00:16:24.520They're saying, when Israel slides in, when the IDF slides in here and starts doing this, the bombings that we're seeing, turning Gaza into the new Dresden of the Levant, they're saying that's the activation call.
00:16:47.440They want to destroy Israel, and they want to pull the United States into a wider war that engulfs not just Israel, but the entire region and potentially the world.
00:16:58.620These are people who actually want to start World War III, not just because they want to overextend the United States, but because they want to kill everyone.
00:17:07.180We're also seeing the IDF publishing footage of its nighttime landing on a beach in Gaza with some of their elite special forces.
00:17:17.360They're saying it was a limited incursion, but we're seeing these probing attacks back and forth.
00:17:23.160Israeli Broadcasting Authority, the largest air force attack on the Gaza Strip since the outbreak of the war has been launched.
00:17:30.040Israeli Army Radio, the air force launches raids of unprecedented intensity on the Gaza Strip.
00:17:36.440And the Israeli forces, the IDF, came out and said specifically, they're calling on the residents of Gaza to move south.
00:17:42.900The army says Israel is ready to defend the country's security on all fronts, and Israeli forces are expanding the scope of ground maneuvers in the Gaza Strip.
00:18:07.400We'll give you all the fifth generation warfare you want.
00:18:11.540And to Speaker, Johnson, and to all the other Republicans up there, you're going to pull a 180 because you sat down with McConnell talking about Ukraine, talking about all this funding.
00:21:22.140But, yeah, Chomp, Chomp, Chomp with Brave Books.
00:21:26.860The message in the book, I mean, first of all, unless you're living under a rock, you're aware there's a problem in the world amongst others.
00:21:34.720But one of the biggest problems is the indoctrination of children.
00:21:56.120But we also need to create positive alternatives that instill good morals, good values, teach them the value of freedom, pro-America, pro-God.
00:22:09.940I wanted to do a small contribution to that.
00:22:12.760And the book, lastly, I'll say the message of the book, you know, entertaining kid's story, which is, you know, so fun.
00:22:20.540But the message of the book is if there was only one message that I could give my son to support him not only as a kid but also to have a great rest of his life, that one message would be, dear son, do your own thinking, be in touch with your heart, and have the courage to follow it.
00:22:40.820But that's the overall message of the book.
00:22:43.700I wanted to make it available to families through an entertaining, engaging kid's story.
00:22:49.160So thus we have birthed chomp, chomp, chomp.
00:22:55.900This book, it's all about, it's about peer pressure.
00:22:58.340And peer pressure, JP, real quick, why is peer pressure so prevalent in today's society with the rise of social media, et cetera, so many kids, what they're going through?
00:23:06.620Yeah, you know, peer pressure, obviously, it's a huge problem with kids.
00:23:13.880But we can also just get a real big scope of the problem of peer pressure when we look at the adult world.
00:23:22.460They used to be kids, but so many adults didn't get the message.
00:23:26.300The past three years, we have seen people compromise their lives because they're succumbing to peer pressure.
00:23:32.880When adults do it, we call it obedience and compliance.
00:23:38.720So just realizing, hey, the next generation, nobody is going to live a happy life filled with meaning and purpose if they're just succumbing to peer pressure, betraying their own thinking.
00:23:55.520I think it equals the destruction of America as well, but they're also not going to be happy.
00:23:59.440So it's just so evident the past few years that this basic lesson around peer pressure, it hasn't gotten to people.
00:24:09.260And I know there's freedom fighters out there, but we need to get it out to kids now more than ever.
00:24:15.580And, of course, with social media being in the world, it's around kids from the very beginning, I think it can be even easier to just become an obedient slave to whatever the peer pressure is trying to compel them to do.
00:24:33.080So kids need to be taught courage feels good.
00:24:36.460Thinking for yourself, following your heart, that can be uncomfortable at times, but guess what?
00:24:42.100Here's how to have the courage to do that.
00:25:24.000But when we're faced with so much, when we're faced with so much horror out there, when we're faced with these situations, you know, and Tanya Tay, you know, I love the fact that she's watching JP Sears videos while I'm, you know, sitting in the other room doing show prep for this.
00:25:38.660Or I'm looking at zero sum 24 and we're looking at these war images coming out, whether it be in Ukraine, whether it be in Gaza, whether it be on the Kibitzes, whichever it is we are going through on a daily basis and looking at this.
00:25:53.220That's why when we're living through a time such as this, and we are in the fourth turning, this is fifth generation warfare meets the fourth turning now.
00:26:03.220And if you want to potentially be able to respond to this, if you want to be able to actually have the ability to teach your children, because they're going to see this, they're going to see this through osmosis.
00:26:20.020They're going to see it through proximity from just being around it.
00:26:22.240I remember the Gulf War when I was a kid.
00:26:24.100Other people remember different wars when they were kids.
00:26:26.680Okay, just because you're not sitting around because you're not actively showing them it, it's going to be happening.
00:26:31.780And of course, with my wife having family from Eastern Europe, guess what?
00:26:36.880There's a war going on over there right now that's right in their backyard, right in their backyard.
00:26:43.640And so people are saying, I mean, I'm looking at some of this information that's on right now.
00:26:51.260Saudi officials have just issued a warning to the United States that Israel's ground offensive in Gaza could have catastrophic consequences for the Middle East.
00:27:01.780I'm just looking at some of these headlines.
00:27:05.020People are saying that the ground operation may not be a full-scale operation at this point.
00:27:44.680That's almost, so 100 miles south of the Mediterranean, essentially where Egypt, Israel, and then Jordan meet at the northernmost tip of the Red Sea.
00:27:58.680They're saying an Israeli missile was found there, possibly a misfire.
00:31:24.700Rich, we're looking at this potential breaking news situation as we come into it.
00:31:29.700They're talking about potentially the largest bomb.
00:31:33.720There are people saying, and again, we don't know this until, you know, until the dust settles, until we've got cameras up in there, until we can see what's actually going on.
00:31:43.600But there are people saying currently that the IDF strikes on Gaza that are going on right now are the largest strikes that have ever been conducted on Gaza in any of the conflicts, any of the dust-ups between Israel and Gaza.
00:31:59.040We know the Internet's been shut down there.
00:32:01.420But it doesn't matter, at least in terms of that, because these strikes are so large, you can see them from 10, 15, 20 miles away.
00:32:09.720Everybody can see it's getting lit up like Dresden.
00:32:15.560Rich, walk us through the big picture here, because I've been trying to connect it for everybody, that the real question is, if Israel slides in, everyone knows that Israel can go in.
00:32:26.700They have the military capability to do so with their tanks.
00:32:29.860But if the videos that pour—this is what I've said, though—if the videos that pour out of dead children and dead women coming out of these Palestinian areas,
00:32:38.340we talked about that church where people were hiding, where Christians ended up being killed, including members of Justin Amash's family,
00:32:45.240you're going to see the entire Arab and Muslim world rise up in response.
00:32:49.480That's why the U.S. is putting air defenses all over the place and parking aircraft carriers in there.
00:32:55.240Rich, are there actually people in our own government that want a World War III?
00:33:00.440Well, I—first of all, as always, thanks for having me on, Jack.
00:33:04.880And second of all, I do think that, you know, I'm looking at the 20 minutes, you know, that between wrapping up mine and then coming on your show,
00:33:12.580it does look like, you know, fog of war.
00:33:22.940I mean, it gets—it sounds like it's setting the stage.
00:33:25.760They always had that capability, but this is the problem.
00:33:29.120You said there are people who want World War III, and I'm also wondering, are there people who want this backlash and are more pro-Palestinian?
00:33:36.900During the Trump administration's, you know, then former Secretary of State John Kerry, you know, was undermining President Trump
00:33:44.720and his peace process with Abbas, meeting with Abbas's man in London, undermine that process and a two-state solution.
00:33:51.300Ultimately, President Trump decided it was best to isolate them from the Arab world and, you know, implement the Abraham Accords,
00:34:05.440You had the scoop that it was—it was Kerry that went to the Palestinians and told them to pull out of the Abraham Accords
00:34:12.260when President Trump was putting it all together.
00:34:14.380He went to the Palestinian leaders—not even Hamas.
00:34:18.400We're talking the civilian leadership.
00:34:20.140He went to Abbas and said, don't get involved with the Abraham Accords.
00:34:24.260Yes, obviously we know it's a violation of the Logan Act, but, you know, we're—you know, like we're ever actually going to get John Kerry indicted.
00:34:31.620That basically set up the situation that we have now because President Trump said, fine, if you guys don't want in,
00:34:38.360I'll go cut a deal with everybody who does want in.
00:34:47.700Yeah, and, you know, I actually think it's more than the Logan Act if you consider what really happened.
00:34:52.700I mean, we know that Abbas then took that call.
00:34:56.400And when Mike Pence was in the region, he went there, of course, ahead of time before the president, you know, to lay the groundwork and get everybody down.
00:35:05.260Abbas didn't even meet with Mike Pence, even though the meeting was scheduled.
00:35:09.620He went radio silent on him, and Mike Pence never got that meeting.
00:35:13.720So we know John Kerry's plan succeeded.
00:35:18.140He was just the one, you know, acting on the behalf of this entity within our own government that was, A, subverting the policy of the United States and their duly elected president,
00:35:27.200and then, B, secondly, that brings a greater concern with what you're talking about.
00:35:34.260Now, I am someone who thinks that Israel does have the right to defend themselves beyond that, and if that means eradicating Hamas, that's what it means.
00:35:41.980But you can't do that, politically speaking, without the full weight of the United States behind you.
00:35:47.680Otherwise, you're going to do the opposite of what the Abraham Accords did.
00:35:51.800The Abraham Accords isolated Hamas among the Arab world, within the Arab world.
00:35:57.240This without, you know, with mixed signals coming from D.C. and the U.S. government, Jack, this is going to, this could unite the Arab world.
00:36:07.020And that's, of course, not what, you know, and I don't mean against Hamas.
00:36:32.420And right here on this program, we were, we were one of the first programs in the entire Western world to actually show what was going on on those, those, those Southern, those remote farms in the South, the kibitzes.
00:36:43.640And, and, and I said, this, this is part and parcel of what they want.
00:37:14.200And I think that was a huge driver of this as well, because they could see the Muslim world operating through the lens and the framework of the Abraham Accords to isolate the Palestinians.
00:37:25.860And they said, fine, we'll cut a deal with the Iranians, even though, you know, we're Sunni, they're Shia.
00:37:29.980We don't care because they'll work with us because they wanted to blow up all of this.
00:37:36.300You just, you just brought up the role that Iran plays in all this, which you can't, you can't ignore.
00:37:40.720And net zero, the policy of net zero under the Trump administration was very key to being able to move toward the Abraham Accords.
00:37:48.980And for people who don't know what that is, they literally wanted net zero export state-sponsored terrorism from Iran because they were used, they were shutting down oil exports to countries that, even though there are sanctions folks, they always allowed typically eight countries to have a waiver from those sanctions.
00:38:07.120And when Trump came in, he said two things.
00:38:09.480One, I'm enforcing, we're implementing these sanctions further.
00:38:13.740There is no buying of Iranian oil because that's where the money comes to fund Hamas and other groups, Hezbollah and so many others.
00:38:21.220And they did have oil exports to an all-time low.
00:38:35.120China's the number one buyer of Iranian oil.
00:38:38.720The minute Biden came in, in order to restart the JCPOA deals, the Iran nuclear deal, he said, don't worry, I'm not going to enforce those sanctions.
00:38:50.420So people keep saying that the intel is telling them it's almost a two-year process that Iran has been plotting this and helping Hamas carry this out.
00:38:58.840Well, that's right around the time that Joe Biden stopped enforcing those sanctions.
00:39:03.680And then that was even before the issue of the waivers expired and which they announced when they did that, don't worry, we're not going to be doing what Trump did with the SREs.
00:39:16.140And by the way, China has been, even though they were on the list from the Trump administration, Biden patently told them, don't worry, buy as much Iranian oil as you want.
00:39:25.460So we get caught talking about $6 billion for this, the hostage negotiations.
00:39:31.480That's peanuts, Jack, compared to what the Biden administration allowed them to have by simply not enforcing Trump's sanctions.
00:39:39.560They had, Trump had them on their knees.
00:39:42.640He could kill Qasem Soleimani because they didn't have any option to retaliate.
00:39:48.560They weren't, they had no money, Jack.
00:39:50.260They weren't going to fund anyone or anything.
00:39:54.640And then Joe Biden came in here and not only, you know, are our enemies not on their knees anymore, Joe Biden extended his hand and said, here, let me help you get up.
00:40:06.740So I don't know, you know, this is not the time, as sad as it is, and that's why brutality was the point.
00:40:12.340This is not the time for the IDF to invade, even though I understand they're in, you know, a terrible situation.
00:40:17.980But the time to invade and remove Hamas, you know, was, is 14 months from now, 15 months from now, if Donald Trump wins again.
00:40:27.980It's a, it's not an opportunity to do it.
00:40:30.120Rich, I mean, I'm, I'm hearing right now that, you know, we're even hearing from some analysts out of the EU are saying that once that the bombardment is actually starting to slow down because they think the ground forces are getting closer to the line of contact.
