I want to take a second to remind you to sign up for the Poso Daily Brief.
00:00:08.000
It'll be one email that's sent to you every day.
00:00:09.880
You can stop the endless scrolling, trying to find out what's going on in your world.
00:00:12.960
We will have this delivered directly to you totally for free.
00:00:30.000
This is what happens when the fourth turning meets fifth generation warfare.
00:00:41.240
A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran.
00:00:47.920
This is Human Events with your host, Jack Poso.
00:01:09.440
Ava and I are filling in for Jack Posobiec with Human Events Daily.
00:01:12.940
We are glad to bring you this live from Turning Point USA here in beautiful Phoenix.
00:01:25.180
And we have a great show for you today as well.
00:01:30.760
So we have a subject that is very close to all of our hearts, you know, free speech.
00:01:36.260
And of course, the European Union is trying to ruin our party.
00:01:43.200
And I have the ex-it girl in the house today, Ashley St. Clair.
00:01:54.300
I'm so lucky to be between you two beautiful ladies here.
00:01:57.800
So why don't you give us a breakdown, Ava, of what's exactly going on in the EU with the,
00:02:03.380
what is it, on behalf of the, it's the Digital Services Act.
00:02:07.440
And the EU is going to sue Elon Musk over this.
00:02:11.180
So the European Union has a Digital Service Act, which is basically a censorship act that
00:02:17.760
is trying to, I think, target Elon Musk and X specifically because they are terrified,
00:02:24.220
obviously, of the fact that we are now able to speak the truth about them.
00:02:27.220
And Jerry Bouton, he is the commissioner for the internal market in the European Union,
00:02:32.600
wants to become famous by being Elon's number one enemy.
00:02:36.920
And now they are going forward with formal infringement procedures.
00:02:40.780
And they're saying that X has basically violated a lot of these parts of the Digital Service Act.
00:02:48.160
And I want to talk to you about that, Ashley, because you are amazing on X.
00:02:54.660
This platform is a platform that we both use and love.
00:03:00.880
This is the deliberate targeting of Elon Musk and anybody who dares to say that free speech
00:03:07.380
They're going after him because they don't want their ideas derided.
00:03:11.760
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I don't remember them going after Meta, Meta platforms,
00:03:16.020
who are responsible for, some studies say, 80% of the online child exploitation cases,
00:03:22.100
Meta is cited as a source for these child exploitation.
00:03:25.120
But they would rather go after Elon Musk and X for the grave sin of daring to allow people
00:03:31.020
And that's exactly what this is about because they loathe free speech.
00:03:34.800
And the reason they loathe free speech is because they don't want people to have the
00:03:38.600
freedom to dissect and deride their ideas because censorship is antithetical to discourse.
00:03:44.800
And so one of the things that Cherry Breton or the EU is now saying X is guilty of is,
00:03:58.100
Is it true that every time these people talk about disinformation, it is just something
00:04:03.640
What is it that they mean when they say misinformation?
00:04:07.600
It's just like when they say hate speech, right?
00:04:11.260
Disinformation is subjective based on whoever's deciding at that time what's disinformation,
00:04:17.760
They use these terms to have this vague, overwhelming blanket that they can use censorship.
00:04:23.860
And this is why I've always been a free speech absolutist.
00:04:26.600
It appears that Elon Musk appears to be that way on X because we have to have this.
00:04:30.900
I've noticed there's more radicalism when you do participate in censorship because then
00:04:36.240
these bad ideas go to the dark corners of the internet where they're not challenged and
00:04:45.640
This whole term misinformation, disinformation, all of it.
00:04:48.720
I remember this was right after Elon had acquired Twitter, but, you know, all of the headquarters
00:04:53.720
and still the European headquarters of Twitter, I think, are filled with people who are trying
00:05:03.020
I got banned off of Twitter for talking about the sudden adult death syndrome.
00:05:15.360
This was like this was back in 2022 when, you know, we were starting to see a lot of people
00:05:20.180
dying suddenly and anybody who said, well, maybe this has something to do with the fact
00:05:25.720
that we have a, you know, a worldwide rollout of the experimental vaccine and maybe we should
00:05:32.580
The media said, no, guys, it's a sudden adult death syndrome.
00:05:40.400
And then that got me banned, permanently suspended from Twitter.
00:05:43.820
Is this one of the kinds of things that the EU is seeking to get Elon Musk to prevent
00:05:52.820
So it's not just about, you know, getting really controversial subjects to be monitored.
00:05:58.460
You know, I think we have to completely step away from the fact that these people do not
00:06:10.180
You know, we won't want dangerous information out there.
00:06:14.380
It's all for them to control the narrative so that we can't speak out about the
00:06:21.440
Because mind you, Cherry Baton is somebody who no one ever voted for.
00:06:32.740
You can't be listening to all that slappy, whack, trimatazolitzabam ship, nippy-bam-bam,
00:06:50.100
As we said, you know, we're stepping in for Jack here.
00:06:56.660
And we are continuing our conversation about the EU's totalitarian crackdown on free speech
00:07:03.260
and their efforts to obstruct every single move that one brave man in this world.
00:07:08.240
And I just want to say God bless Elon Musk for his efforts in protecting free speech.
00:07:15.920
Yeah, so Ashley, we were just talking about how this is going down in Europe.
00:07:19.440
And I'm really interested to talk about the parallels that we're seeing in the U.S.
00:07:23.360
We're seeing that, you know, people are coming after Elon Musk here, elected officials.
00:07:31.900
You know, there's so many people talking about how bad this advertiser boycott is.
00:07:35.680
But my boss, Seth Dillon, from the Babylon Bee, was on stage yesterday.
00:07:39.840
And he said, I don't think anybody realizes how important it is
00:07:42.660
that someone told Disney and their mountains of money that they don't want it.
00:07:48.800
And I think we should be doing everything we can to support X and Elon Musk
00:07:52.700
because he is the most important voice for free speech in this country right now and in the world.
00:07:59.860
He goes over there and speaks about these issues as well.
00:08:02.620
We need to support this platform because it is the last shot for free speech that we have in this country and in the world, frankly.
00:08:10.960
That is correct because all of these other platforms are obviously not going to save us.
00:08:14.980
We were just talking about that they're not coming after Instagram.
00:08:19.340
They're not coming after, well, Meta is the same.
00:08:21.240
You know, it's all owned by the same people who have the same political agenda.
00:08:25.260
And X is the only platform where people like us are free to discuss any idea.
00:08:32.000
The EU and all of these advertisers boycotting X, you are hypocrites.
00:08:36.240
You are hypocrites because your ads are showing next to child exploitation material on Meta and you're doing nothing.
00:08:44.780
So, what can people who are here at this great conference do to fight back against censorship?
00:08:56.220
It's the suppression of news stories that go against the narrative.
00:09:02.860
You need to understand that freedom has a high cost and you need to be willing to pay it.
00:09:08.420
You need to speak up and you need to speak up loudly.
00:09:11.300
You need to support the people who are supporting free speech.
00:09:13.720
You need to support the platforms that are supporting free speech like X and Elon Musk.
00:09:18.180
And we all need to be brave because bad things happen when good men do nothing.
00:09:28.580
You get to engage with all sorts of people that you otherwise would never engage with.
00:09:32.260
And it's a small price to pay to keep free speech alive, right?
00:09:36.740
And to stand behind somebody who's a lot of skid in the game and who's making a lot of sacrifices to keep this possible for us.
00:09:48.980
If you don't follow Ashley yet, what are you doing?
00:09:58.700
Well, thank you for coming on to talk to us about this subject.
00:10:09.960
I'm actually on all the social media platforms.
00:10:13.220
I know this is really silly, but I've recently been on Threads, which is like the meta version of Twitter.
00:10:24.280
You have, like, Taylor Lorenz complaining about COVID and how nobody's wearing masks.
00:10:32.060
You have people running, like, big posts that are just like trans women are women.
00:10:36.440
There's all this stuff about how white people are the devil.
00:10:40.780
It's like you just look at this and you're like, I'm so glad that I'm on Twitter.
00:10:45.080
You should go and, like, make screenshots of the most ridiculous things that you see there.
00:10:49.200
And make it a series on X so we can make fun of them.
00:11:01.020
And, like, sometimes I'll reply and I'll be like, no, you're just a man.
00:11:07.180
I got a strike within 12 hours of being on threads and then I deleted it.
00:11:12.240
The thing, too, about that platform that I think people forget is that back after January 6th,
00:11:17.320
do you remember when everybody started going after Parler?
00:11:28.800
And everybody was saying that the reason was because January 6th, that protest was organized
00:11:35.660
Well, lo and behold, it was all on Facebook Messenger.
00:11:39.000
That's where everything, that's where people were talking and organizing their stuff, which
00:11:43.880
But Mark Zuckerberg was never called into Congress to talk about that.
00:11:47.920
He was called in to talk about other stuff, but not that.
00:11:49.920
Yeah, talking about that, didn't the White House or even Joe Biden come forward saying a few
00:11:55.040
things about Elon Musk and, like, looking into him and things?
00:12:01.760
The entire federal government is investigating Elon Musk over stupid stuff, including the
00:12:06.200
one, who's investigating him over the thing where it's, like...
00:12:12.000
No, the one where he's not hiring enough immigrants.
00:12:16.280
To run, like, the security on his tech platform.
00:12:17.840
But you see, like, we're making fun of this because it's, like, it's funny to us how ridiculous
00:12:21.860
But if you think about it seriously, again, you know, you have the U.S. government officially
00:12:27.300
launching, like, an investigation into the person of Elon Musk.
00:12:33.560
And all because, let's face it, he and his platform is the biggest threat to their power
00:12:43.080
I think that, I think also one thing that we see with his having stood up for free speech
00:12:47.040
is it's the thing that happens when someone stands up and says no.
00:12:51.280
When someone stands up and says, I am going to look at reality, I'm not going to listen
00:12:58.320
So, as soon as you have someone stand up and fight for all of us, we're all able to stand
00:13:07.680
And it gives us courage to stand up and speak out in our personal lives, in our professional
00:13:13.420
And I think that's such a huge, you know, huge thing.
00:13:17.560
And so, absolutely be bold, like I said earlier.
00:13:21.020
If you're in the EU, if you're in America, and you can't afford to feed your families,
00:13:24.580
you can't afford your rent, don't worry, because the government's going after Elon Musk.
00:13:30.900
We're all going to be safe from misinformation.
00:13:33.380
You think you might want to do something about it?
00:13:37.600
Do you think that the federal government, the Biden administration, the deep state,
00:13:43.500
do you think that they're going to be able to pull the same shenanigans in 2024 with regard
00:13:47.760
to suppression of ideas, concepts, reality, as they did in 2020?
00:13:52.500
Do you think they're going to be able to pull that?
00:13:57.600
They're going to try, but they can't do it with X.
00:13:59.460
What are going to be some of the hallmarks that we might see coming out of the administration
00:14:03.580
and the deep state of how they're going to try and...
00:14:09.260
You're able to dismantle narratives that they push out in real time.
00:14:13.140
Like, for example, with the infamous tape on the Senate floor.
00:14:23.920
And then two days later, after everybody gets this news on X, NBC puts out a headline that
00:14:28.480
says, allegedly, saying it allegedly happened, allegedly, even though we all saw this with
00:14:34.760
And that would not have happened a few years ago.
00:14:37.180
And there's been so many examples of this, of narratives and stories we would not have
00:14:41.260
gotten without X and without no censorship, without the freedom that we have right now
00:14:48.420
And this is why it is so important that we absolutely recognize and reject all of this
00:14:57.280
Any time a government official or a supranational organization like the European Union or one
00:15:03.460
of the other three-letter organizations that we have comes out and says anything about misinformation
00:15:08.560
or disinformation, you have to think to yourself, oh, this just equals, this is a narrative that
00:15:14.300
This is a dissenting opinion that goes against what I want you to believe.
00:15:18.360
And that is something that we have to see and reject fully.
00:15:21.420
Otherwise, you know, if we give them an inch, they're going to take away Twitter.
00:15:24.820
We have to stop supporting these other organizations, these companies, though, that are supporting
00:15:29.960
Because what we saw with the Twitter files that Elon released, as soon as he took over
00:15:36.220
It showed that the FBI and these other three-letter agencies used Twitter to do what they constitutionally
00:15:44.240
And that's still happening with these other organizations like Meta, like all these other
00:15:50.880
So we really need to be ethical consumers in where we're spending our money, where we're
00:15:55.280
spending our attention, because attention is the most valuable currency now.
00:15:58.720
And we have to take our attention away from these people who are in bed with these three-letter
00:16:05.880
I think you're, yeah, I think you're exactly right.
00:16:09.000
Well, some people might be watching us right now live from X.
00:16:11.940
So if you are on there, we're happy that you're watching us.
00:16:15.680
We're happy that you're joining us here live at MFest today.
00:16:22.020
Like I said, go and follow Ashley if you don't already.
00:16:24.700
I'm now trying to not forget that we are going to a break in a little bit.
00:16:32.260
I will say that when I was a kid, there was this phrase that the Democratic left used,
00:16:38.760
And the idea was that whoever was telling you what to do, you should take a look at that
00:16:42.160
and interrogate why they're telling you to do that.
00:16:45.320
And I think that the Democratic left has forgotten that so fully over the past decade or so, really
00:16:51.160
given that up, really given up their ability to question power.
00:16:55.260
And all they've been doing is submitting to it.
00:16:57.360
And what I've loved to see in America is the conservatives taking back some of these ideas,
00:17:03.420
taking back the right to question authority, taking back the Bill of Rights, you know, demanding
00:17:16.760
And I think that your founding fathers were very clear about that.
00:17:19.840
Here in America, you have inalienable rights that were endowed upon you by your creator.
00:17:25.040
Not because the government says so, ladies and gentlemen, but because God says so.
00:17:33.740
So before we go to the break, we are going to come right back with you in a little bit.
00:17:38.180
We're going to talk about a few more European issues.
00:17:40.700
I want to talk to you guys about what's going on in Germany.
00:17:42.600
The German farmers are rising up, just like the Dutch farmers have.
00:17:47.300
And we're going to do a little recap of that, see what the global war on farming is about.
00:17:51.640
So, and Libby, what else are we going to discuss later?
00:17:54.580
Yeah, so we'll be back in just a couple of minutes with that.
00:17:56.860
And we have a lot of great stuff and great content to talk to you about today.
00:18:05.760
I mean, this European girl feels right at home here at MFEST.
00:18:12.240
And to everyone here, thank you so very much for coming to MFEST.
00:18:45.120
Ava and I are filling in here for Jack Posobiec, live from Turning Point, USA, in beautiful Phoenix, Arizona.
00:18:52.500
And we have a great story for you now that Ava was telling me about before we went on air.
00:18:57.300
Apparently there's been a lot of protests in Germany from farmers.
00:19:00.120
And this is something that you are familiar with.
00:19:03.520
You covered this when it was happening in the Netherlands as well, revolts from farmers.
00:19:07.900
What's going on in the EU with so many of these farmers who are pushing back and protesting?
00:19:15.460
So let me give you a little bit of a recap on the situation in my home country.
00:19:21.600
And as some of our viewers might know, our government had the amazing idea to go and commit a little bit of a land grab, so to say.
00:19:30.340
They said a few years ago that we have a so-called nitrogen crisis.
00:19:35.160
I heard about this was going on in Canada too with fertilizer.
00:19:41.580
And I saw this happening and I saw our government say, hey, we have a nitrogen crisis and the farmers need to go.
00:19:47.860
You guys are at fault here because apparently cows, just like humans, burp and fart and that causes climate change.
00:19:56.580
And conveniently, the state said, well, you know, I have a perfect solution for this.
00:20:03.520
And 30% of the cattle farms in the Netherlands had to go under their new nitrogen policy.
00:20:10.060
The government forced farmers to sell their land to the government?
00:20:15.280
And thank goodness the Dutch farmers weren't having it.
00:20:17.740
And we had massive protests these past few years.
00:20:20.720
And I remember saying about a year and a half ago, guys, I know that the Netherlands is a tiny country.
00:20:28.360
But we were the second largest exporter of agricultural products in the world.
00:20:32.040
So, you know, if you care a little bit about your food supply, I think you should care.
00:20:35.440
But a more important point, as I said, this is not just a Dutch issue.
00:20:40.260
The attack on farming, the war on farming is a global one because it is part of the globalist agenda.
00:20:48.380
And what is a better way to control the people than to control the food?
00:21:00.840
So the Germans, well, our neighboring country, those are, let me tell you, just like us, they're not people, they're not the French.
00:21:14.500
So when something happens in the Netherlands or in Germany, you have to stay very focused and think, oh, what's going on here?
00:21:20.680
So now the Dutch farmers have protested last year and today the German farmers have gone out in large numbers to Berlin demanding the stoplight government.
00:21:37.460
So it's a left-wing government essentially to be, to step down.
00:21:41.600
They're demanding the government step down over this.
00:21:44.400
Yes, because the German government is now cutting all sorts of tax benefits for the farmers, which are absolutely essential for them in order to do their work.
00:21:55.280
It's not just, you know, we're not talking about people who want to make an extra buck.
00:21:58.820
I mean, everyone who knows a farmer knows that that is not, you know, a profession in which...
00:22:07.140
It is usually the people in farming are people who have done it for centuries.
00:22:10.820
It's family businesses, usually also Christian people who have traditional values, who do something for their community, for their country, for the world.
00:22:21.060
You know, they provide us with our daily meal, quite literally.
00:22:24.440
And so now all of these German farmers have gone out on their tractors and it always, almost makes me emotional to see this type of footage because it reminds me of our protests.
00:22:36.320
Yes, we have a little bit of footage from the protests right now.
00:22:46.280
I saw another clip where they were spraying some manure on the roads.
00:22:51.480
And I think that that type of protests, like, yeah, show them who's boss.
00:22:54.540
You know, they're coming after your private property.
00:22:56.540
They're coming after what you've worked for your entire life.
00:23:00.180
And they're coming after the people who are providing us for their food.
00:23:05.860
And this is not just something that is going on in Germany.
00:23:09.080
It's not just something that hit in the Netherlands.
00:23:10.760
It's actually something that the Biden administration is trying to push on Americans.
00:23:15.560
The Biden administration is trying to cut down American food supply as well, in addition to hiking grocery prices, which I know everyone's familiar with.
00:23:23.300
We recently saw John Kerry, who is Biden's climate guy.
00:23:28.360
He was out, what was it, in Dubai at the COP28?
00:23:36.200
He was making some statements about that as well.
00:23:39.160
Agriculture contributes about 33% of all the emissions of the world, depending a little bit on how you count it, but it's anywhere from 26 to 33.
00:23:53.300
We don't get this job done unless agriculture is front and center, is part of the solution.
00:24:00.080
Emissions from the food system alone are projected to cause another half a degree of warming by mid-century on the current course that we are today.
00:24:10.860
So we have to reduce emissions from the food system to keep the 1.5 degrees alive.
00:24:21.260
John Kerry wants to cut back the food supply in the United States.
00:24:25.560
I mean, apparently he doesn't care if people starve.
00:24:29.040
You know, and that is something that I think people find very difficult to grasp.
00:24:34.320
Why would the government come after one of the sectors that feeds the world?
00:24:38.560
And why is it that the government wants to transform the world global food supply?
00:24:46.160
Well, I saw today on X, I saw video of 3D printed plant-based meat saying that this is what's coming next.
00:24:53.900
We see all the cricket feed going into, you know, cheese puffs in Canadian snack foods.
00:25:01.540
Why is it that they are taking this top-down approach to trying to, like, basically re-engineer human agriculture and human lifestyle?
00:25:14.060
If you control the food, you control the people.
00:25:16.320
So, if people are hungry, if people are scared, they're very easy to control.
00:25:20.940
So, like I said, this man is saying 26 to 33 percent or something of the carbon emissions worldwide are caused by agriculture, and we can't reach net zero.
00:25:32.260
Net zero is, you know, net zero without doing this, without getting rid of, like, a large sector or a large part of the agricultural sector.
00:25:45.520
And the other part, you already said it, they're trying to push bugs on us.
00:25:49.420
They're trying to push bail gates, fake synthetic meat, all of this stuff that isn't good for humans.
00:25:55.440
It's actually pretty unhealthy to eat all of this stuff all the time.
00:25:59.220
So, I feel like what the ultimate goal behind this is is just to weaken us.
00:26:04.980
They're trying to make foods that are actually, you know, animal-based, that are protein-rich, that are good for the human body, that make you strong and make you grow.
00:26:13.720
That those foods are scarce and limited, right?
00:26:17.480
And so, if you take that out of the diet of, well, the Americans, but actually everywhere in the world, what do you create?
00:26:29.040
You know, it's funny, too, because I was giving this some thought, and I used to be very interested in climate, and I had written about it, you know, when I was lefty and more liberal.
00:26:38.880
And the more I started to dig into it, even back then, the more I looked into it, the more I thought, there's really no evidence that this is super essential.
00:26:47.060
There's really no indication that we should destroy humanity in order to save the planet.
00:26:52.480
There's no point in saving the planet if we destroy humanity.
00:26:58.260
But, like, you don't have to be a rocket scientist or even somebody who knows anything about climate change to see through this lie.
00:27:05.300
I mean, we just, you know, we perceive reality, if you look at the Dutch landscapes, you know, with the green grass, the meadows, the cows grazing, and our windmills, and they say that profession that we've had around for centuries on end is now the cause of a new so-called crisis like climate change, everybody knows in their gut that that's a lie.
00:27:32.720
And we know, you know, if you look at the history of humanity and the history of energy consumption, fossil fuels raised people out of poverty globally in huge percentages.
00:27:43.440
There's the reason we have less poverty in the world is because of fossil fuels.
00:27:47.360
So they want to take away our fuels that have elevated people out of poverty.
00:27:51.060
They want to take away our plentiful food sources that, again, have prevented people from starving.
00:27:55.740
And they want to do this to meet their own ends, not actually to help humanity.
00:28:00.480
And when you look back at it, like I was recently looking at this play called Uncle Vanya written by Anton Chekhov from whenever ago, the 18-somethings.
00:28:08.180
And so I'm looking at it, and there's this one character, and he is just blasting the peasants for burning trees, for cutting down trees to use for their fuel source.
00:28:17.560
He's like, just pick up the peat off the ground.
00:28:20.120
And I was thinking about that, and I'm like, it is not recent that the elites of this world have been trying to enforce their ideas on, you know, the rest of us.
00:28:31.000
And try and get us to conform to what they want us to do, just in order to better their own lives.
00:28:36.220
We've seen guys at the WEF talking about how, you know, the elites are going to continue to travel around the world.
00:28:42.080
And for those who can't afford to travel, they'll be able to sit on their couches and look at VR, and it'll be just like they're really there.
00:28:54.680
And all we're supposed to do is let them eat bugs.
00:28:56.420
I made a documentary with Tucker Carlson about this, and that was actually called Let Them Eat Bugs.
00:29:02.000
You know, it was this play with what Marie Antoinette said right before the French Revolution happened.
00:29:06.320
I don't have to tell you what happened during the French Revolution when she allegedly said, let them eat cake, right?
00:29:19.220
And, you know, the thing is, I always like to quote Carl Jung when I talk about the nefarious intentions of our global elites.
00:29:26.880
He said, if someone's actions don't make sense to you, and you're like, why would someone do this?
00:29:39.580
So, if the consequences of their attack on farming is that people are going to be poor and hungry and starve,
00:29:48.380
then apparently their intent is that they want you to be poor, hungry, and starve.
00:29:55.460
Look at what it is that they are trying to do and understand that that is their intention.
00:30:00.500
We're going to be back in just a couple of minutes.
00:30:10.420
We're going to talk about even more interesting things today.
00:30:24.520
Right after the break, we're going to talk to you, Chris.
00:30:31.800
I've been having a great time at this conference.
00:30:40.640
So many great people, but so many young people.
00:30:44.980
That's what we need to save this country, and it's going to start with the young people.
00:30:47.500
I'm 27 years old, but I feel old at this conference, which is a new one.
00:31:26.560
I'm Libby Edmonds with The Post Millennial, and we have Billboard Chris.
00:31:33.840
He speaks out against gender ideology all over the U.S. and Canada.
00:31:46.480
I just saw you in Canada, and you are a hero, just for the mere fact that you speak the truth
00:31:51.220
about the fact that the girl is a girl and the boy is a boy, and that's that.
00:31:54.360
But you went pretty viral, I saw the other day on X again, uncovering a major story.
00:32:00.540
Could you tell our audience a little bit about what you found, who you spoke to, and what's
00:32:04.820
Yeah, just yesterday morning, I thought before I came here, I'd head out on the street for
00:32:09.780
I was outside for not even a minute, and I ran into a man named Adam Avina.
00:32:17.000
And when his little boy was two years old, the mother decided that this boy was really
00:32:30.600
All he ever did was send some messages, some text messages, objecting to this.
00:32:35.340
And because he's not in favor of transitioning his own son, he was given a temporary restraining
00:32:41.700
order where he wasn't allowed to speak to his wife or his son, his ex-wife.
00:32:45.760
Now he has a new five-year restraining order in place.
00:32:53.300
So a father in the state of California refused to refer to his little boy as a girl.
00:32:59.960
And the mother went and got a restraining order against him, not once, but now twice.
00:33:06.660
Yes, because the social workers in California consider it abuse not to affirm the delusion
00:33:16.400
Like, I'm sorry, my European mind's blown right now.
00:33:23.880
A lot of it was brought by our favorite state senator, Senator Scott Wiener, who is
00:33:32.740
And he has essentially changed the definition of abuse in California to additionally mean
00:33:42.500
What were some of the reasons that this mother had for believing that the two-year-old boy was
00:33:57.600
This boy was still in diapers when she started putting him in a dress.
00:34:01.660
So, but the practice with the courts and everything is simply affirm the child.
00:34:08.340
They had a gender assessment done on him before he was even four years old.
00:34:19.980
Now, the first judge has recused himself for some reason.
00:34:22.820
There's a new judge who also isn't going along with this.
00:34:24.780
The new judge put a five-year restraining order in place.
00:34:27.480
So, he won't be able to talk to his son until, at a minimum, this child's 10 years old,
00:34:31.700
which is about the age they start kids on puberty blockers.
00:34:40.300
I mean, I guess that this man cannot just sit...
00:34:42.620
He's not going to sit around and watch his son be taken from him.
00:34:57.480
But what people in California need to do is they need to go to protectkidsca.com
00:35:02.920
because there are three ballot initiatives underway.
00:35:05.340
Oh, I was hearing about these ballot initiatives.
00:35:11.200
This will send an earthquake all across the nation
00:35:13.160
because there's no way California will ever stop doing this
00:35:19.300
California is one of the states where if your kid runs away from home
00:35:25.280
California will allow them to undergo gender transition,
00:35:28.600
you know, sex change stuff, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones,
00:35:31.680
without ever notifying the parents in the state where the child has run away.
00:35:35.660
Your child could be missing, and in California they could be, you know,
00:35:42.460
But we have three new ballot initiatives underway.
00:35:54.200
Schools right now are keeping secret from parents
00:35:56.120
that their own child has a new name and pronouns.
00:36:00.080
So, when people go to vote for president next year,
00:36:02.160
these three initiatives should be on the ballot,
00:36:09.320
And, Chris, so you've been going out on the street.
00:36:18.440
merely stating the truth that boys are boys and girls are girls
00:36:24.000
and that it's child abuse to put these kids through puberty blockers, etc.
00:36:28.380
And the responses that you've been given out on the street
00:36:45.960
I was just assaulted in March in front of three dozen police officers,
00:36:53.080
You were out with Chloe Cole, and some people staged a drag protest.
00:36:58.700
Yeah, Turning Point USA hosted us at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo in California.
00:37:05.480
They had a drag show, and this man, LARPing as a woman,
00:37:09.200
came over to Chloe Cole, who was given a double mastectomy when she was only 15,
00:37:14.280
and he shook his fake breasts in her face to taunt her.
00:37:17.320
That is so disturbing, and that's just so disturbing and cruel.
00:37:20.880
Chris, what would you say, what is the reason that you see the left
00:37:25.320
and any other suppressive ideology, I would say, really,
00:37:33.700
Well, it's like any totalitarian ruler from the past.
00:37:38.380
If they want to change the culture, they're not going to do it through me or through you.
00:37:43.120
So kids are very impressionable, and parents need to realize
00:37:46.040
that what's going on in school anymore isn't just math, English, and science.
00:37:49.340
Because social-emotional learning is being taught to these kids,
00:37:53.060
which is essentially a values-replacement system.
00:37:56.380
You're probably not going to like the values they're replacing.
00:38:01.980
It's really disturbing to see what they're trying to push in.
00:38:05.680
Instead of teaching the kids skills, which grow into confidence,
00:38:09.620
they try and teach them confidence in just their own sort of innate characteristics.
00:38:15.800
It's very bizarre how they just warp language and warp education
00:38:24.480
who are eventually going to be eating bugs and 3D-printed meat.
00:38:27.460
So they're essentially like little tiny child soldiers to the regime, right?
00:38:35.720
But Chris, tell me, why did you start doing this?
00:38:39.560
What brought you to the idea of going out, walking around like a walking billboard?
00:38:51.820
I've been at this for more than three years now.
00:38:57.560
And of course, they are exactly what they sound like.
00:38:59.700
We're blocking puberty in perfectly healthy children.
00:39:02.160
We're giving them the opposite sexist hormones.
00:39:05.500
We cannot live in a society that is trying to change the sex of children.
00:39:08.860
And just to be clear, because I noticed that there are still people who think that
00:39:18.080
If a girl goes on puberty blockers from 11 to 16, there's no time machine to take her
00:39:22.520
Even the president of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health.
00:39:27.460
This admits that none of the boys who started on these drugs have ever been able to have
00:39:34.720
They've never been able to have an orgasm as an adult.
00:39:39.880
Who came out with this and said that none of the patients that Dr. Bowers had ever had,
00:39:44.880
who were young boys, who went on puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones, were ever able to
00:39:49.460
have, you know, a natural sexual life after that.
00:39:54.240
And the solution that was proposed by Bowers was that they needed to do more research, not
00:40:02.220
But of course, the drugs are what should be cut off.
00:40:05.300
You know, kids should be taught to be happy with who they are, or at least not diverged into
00:40:10.520
some bizarre path that leads to desperation and horribleness.
00:40:16.160
It blows my mind sometimes that we talk about the past as so backwards, you know, and oh,
00:40:24.500
Well, back in the dark ages, nobody was giving anybody puberty blockers and we weren't cutting
00:40:33.960
Why do you think that a mom of a two-year-old would be compelled to say that her, you know,
00:40:47.660
This has been sold as the new progressive thing.
00:40:49.860
But there's nothing progressive or loving about telling a child that they were born wrong.
00:40:56.460
Before we go to the break, I want people to know how they can support you.
00:41:02.800
I'm traveling around the world to spread this message.
00:41:05.380
But really, I want people to get educated about this.
00:41:07.440
Because once they get educated, they can have these intelligent conversations about this.
00:41:12.820
There's so much money fighting against us, but we have the truth and the truth spreads
00:41:27.140
I'm always listening to Human Events with Jack Posobiec.
00:41:36.600
And we are back with Human Events Daily, where Ava and I are filling in for Jack Posobiec.
00:41:46.280
We've been having a great time here at this conference with all these amazing Americans
00:41:55.480
So, yeah, we have, we've been, we had a lot of fun so far.
00:42:01.620
He was talking about puberty blockers and trans stuff.
00:42:05.080
We had Ashley St. Clair on, the ex-it girl who was telling us all about censorship in
00:42:10.480
the EU and the US and how we're fighting back for free speech.
00:42:14.420
And now we have another issue that we're going to, we're going to get into.
00:42:18.500
So we've been talking about so many things here that, you know, don't just affect America,
00:42:24.280
And the common denominator is, of course, that we are fighting the same enemy, right?
00:42:29.200
We are all under attack by the same globalist agenda.
00:42:31.960
And one of the things that the globalists have figured out they need to do in order to
00:42:35.720
control us is to make us forget about our own identity, forget about our history, and
00:42:41.100
even paint a false picture, of course, of our history.
00:42:44.760
And now you came to me with a story, Libby, about, again, the toppling of a statue.
00:42:50.580
I'll tell you a little bit about what's going on in Europe because that just doesn't
00:42:55.360
Please tell me, what's the next person, who's the next white man that they now decided is
00:43:00.780
Yeah, this is actually something that I find really troubling.
00:43:03.860
I found it troubling when they were pulling down statues during the BLM and Antifa riots
00:43:09.760
They were going after Thomas Jefferson and George Washington and all of our founding fathers,
00:43:14.680
lashing out at them, lashing out at the memorials for them.
00:43:17.820
And now we have this thing where they're actually coming after monuments and cemeteries.
00:43:22.840
Arlington National Cemetery is where our veterans are buried in the United States, and there
00:43:27.780
is a memorial there called the Reconciliation Monument, and it is to slain Confederate soldiers
00:43:35.680
Now, Confederate soldiers, they were on the losing side during the Civil War.
00:43:39.740
You know, my ancestors fought for the Union, but I have a lot of respect for people who stand
00:43:44.560
up for what they believe in, even if I don't even agree with them.
00:43:50.360
And I think it's pretty interesting what happened after the Civil War.
00:43:55.020
The South was so decimated and so demoralized that you had daughters of the Confederacy trying
00:44:00.520
to revitalize just some pride in their region, even though they were definitely losing and
00:44:06.120
on the losing side and had some very awful ideas about slavery that are intolerable.
00:44:13.600
And we had a memorial to them in Arlington National Cemetery that now has been taken down
00:44:19.340
due to the Pentagon's Naming Commission, which ordered the removal of the names of bases,
00:44:24.060
posts, ships, streets, and other things named after Confederate soldiers.
00:44:28.980
Now, when they were toppling memorials, you know, previously in 2020, they said they weren't
00:44:37.400
To a certain extent, I understand if voters want to take statues down.
00:44:42.960
But to desecrate the dead seems just a step too far.
00:44:47.660
I wanted to say, like, nothing is sacred to these people, right?
00:44:51.920
And we're taking down statues of the dead of these, of the Confederate soldiers.
00:45:03.500
And I think it's just really a shame because it's not about the Confederacy.
00:45:13.720
Oh, I was thinking you were talking about some Antifa types.
00:45:18.520
No, this is the Biden administration, the Department of Defense, removing memorial to Confederate
00:45:31.880
So what I find most disturbing about this is that the more we take down the monuments that
00:45:38.100
show us what our history was, the less we're going to understand that history.
00:45:41.960
And the more easily manipulated Americans will be, the more easily manipulated our kids
00:45:46.340
are going to be into having no understanding of what came before.
00:45:49.880
I think that it's so important to understand the conflicts that our nation has had.
00:46:03.520
That's the scary thing is the rewriting of the American past, the rewriting of the
00:46:09.600
All to inflict guilt on the current generation.
00:46:13.740
So, I mean, I'm from Europe, as you guys know, and Germany is a perfect example.
00:46:19.580
It's literally, I have friends there, and even still now, sort of the prejudice that
00:46:24.660
exists against Germans, even though they obviously have nothing to do at all with the
00:46:30.400
events of the Second World War, is still alive because it is kept alive.
00:46:34.820
And it is used to basically demonize and make suspicious any type of sentiment of healthy,
00:46:45.200
Because it's obviously a very easy thing to just say like, oh, the moment you are in favor
00:46:50.200
of conservative values, the moment that you don't think that the patriarchy needs to be
00:46:53.840
destroyed and it's this horrible, oppressive construct, then you know what?
00:46:57.980
We're going to call you a Nazi and you are responsible for the next Holocaust.
00:47:02.220
That type of emotional manipulation, of moral manipulation, is a weapon that they very
00:47:10.620
Like, to be a patriot in this country is to love the country despite our great faults.
00:47:18.880
And how are we even going to know where we came from if we just destroy it?
00:47:22.880
We don't have to feel shame for our past to understand it, to accept it, you know, and
00:47:30.220
It's really pretty, it's really pretty terrifying to see this go down.
00:47:36.160
And what from our era is going to be pulled down in the name of progress?
00:47:40.040
I mean, what are we pulling down and what are we erecting, right?
00:47:46.620
Well, let me tell you what's going up in the place of this.
00:47:48.960
So in Rotterdam the other day, there was a statue that was erected.
00:47:54.520
Of course, we're all paying for our own destruction, ladies and gentlemen.
00:48:06.120
And we need to think about what the answer to that is.
00:48:08.600
Because I'm sick and tired of paying for my own destruction.
00:48:11.720
But yes, one of the wonderful things that my tax money went to was a new statue in Rotterdam.
00:48:28.780
And I think it was even called anonymous black woman who was just standing there with her pockets in, her hands in her pockets, just standing there sort of slouching.
00:48:39.900
And it just stands there on the square in Rotterdam.
00:48:45.460
And it's a nondescript individual who hasn't done anything, you know, or hasn't contributed anything.
00:48:53.080
And this is all obviously a result, of course, of the Black Lives Matter movement where we are now taking down statues.
00:48:59.400
Oh, actually, the takedown of the statue was blocked.
00:49:05.640
We should talk about that after the break, which we are about to go to.
00:49:12.920
Let's talk a little bit more about how we can resist this lunacy.
00:49:18.680
We still have a few seconds more to talk about the resistance because we need to fight this lunacy.
