00:00:39.800 A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran.
00:00:46.480 This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.
00:00:49.420 Deliver us from evil.
00:00:51.200 Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
00:00:52.760 Excuse me, Hunter.
00:00:54.320 Apparently you're afraid of my words.
00:00:56.260 Whoa!
00:01:00.000 I think it's clear and obvious for everyone watching this hearing today that Hunter Biden
00:01:07.340 is terrified of strong, conservative Republican women.
00:01:11.160 The district attorney is totally compromised.
00:01:14.240 The case has to be dropped.
00:01:15.440 In fact, they say she's in far more criminal liability than any of the people she's looking
00:01:19.800 at.
00:01:20.320 They pay a lawyer with absolutely no experience.
00:01:22.420 $1,700,000 who happens to be her lover or her boyfriend.
00:01:26.980 And then they go on trips and vacations together, very expensive vacations together.
00:01:32.360 And the reason they paid him so much is because he was after me.
00:01:35.440 When I hear colleagues talk about, you know, the doors of the inn being closed, no room in
00:01:43.760 the inn, I'm saying, you know, I need more people in my district, but just for redistricting
00:01:48.760 purposes, and those members could clearly fit here.
00:01:53.640 The SEC now saying that it's Twitter and X account has been compromised.
00:01:58.580 It has not made a decision yet on that Bitcoin ETF.
00:02:01.760 The Biden administration did this intentionally.
00:02:04.540 These are policy choices that got us there.
00:02:07.140 And our list of the 64 events that he's engaged in from the first day that he took the Oval
00:02:12.560 Office by executive orders is what has led us into this situation.
00:02:15.680 The chaos unfolding in Ecuador, where police say criminals unleashed a wave of attacks,
00:02:21.200 including the storming of a television studio while they were live on the air.
00:02:26.020 The violence erupted across Ecuador on Monday when the president declared a nationwide state
00:02:31.040 of emergency after a high profile gang leader escaped from prison.
00:02:35.720 According to reports, former Interior Minister Mariusz Kaminski and former State Secretary
00:02:40.680 Maciej Wasik had been welcomed into the palace by President Andrzej Duda as police visited their
00:02:46.240 homes to arrest them.
00:02:47.700 For the first time since the dark days of totalitarian rule, we have political prisoners in Poland.
00:02:56.260 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily.
00:02:59.980 We are here live in Washington, D.C.
00:03:02.620 Today is January 10th, 2024.
00:03:04.680 Anno, Domini.
00:03:06.560 The globalists are on the march from Poland to Davos to Iowa.
00:03:12.380 As we sit, we are five days away, five days from the opening of the World Economic Forum
00:03:19.260 in Davos.
00:03:20.320 We are five days away from the first vote being cast in the 2024 election.
00:03:25.280 We are three days away from the election in Taiwan.
00:03:29.200 And yes, we are now entering the winter fighting season in Ukraine.
00:03:34.780 Why are the globalists cracking down in Poland?
00:03:38.460 It's very simple.
00:03:40.060 Poland is the eastern flank of NATO.
00:03:42.820 The globalist coup that we have witnessed over the past 24 hours, the arresting of conservative
00:03:50.200 politicians, members of parliament.
00:03:52.780 It's like members of Congress here at home.
00:03:54.460 As they hid out in the presidential palace, police storming the presidential palace of Warsaw, arresting
00:04:03.020 these conservatives, these anti-communist fighters, putting them in after globalist Donald
00:04:09.180 Tusk became the prime minister, even though he didn't win the election of 2023.
00:04:15.020 Understand what's going on.
00:04:17.500 The globalists are on the march because they're getting desperate.
00:04:24.340 They're escalating things because they have lost their soft power and they're going mask
00:04:29.200 off.
00:04:30.080 That's why they're trying to commit voter fraud here in the United States, even before the
00:04:34.260 election begins by stripping Trump off the ballot.
00:04:37.980 They're going to steal the election before the election even begins.
00:04:43.700 That's the goal here in the United States abroad.
00:04:46.240 Why do we care about Poland?
00:04:47.780 Look, everybody knows Poland always has a special place in my heart and it always will.
00:04:52.160 But Poland is the eastern flank of NATO because the Ukrainian war has turned into a complete
00:04:59.300 debacle for Zelensky and for the Ukrainian military.
00:05:02.640 The globalists have lost there.
00:05:03.760 NATO's lost there.
00:05:04.820 So who's next up?
00:05:06.040 It's Poland.
00:05:07.180 OK, it's not Putin going into Poland.
00:05:09.480 It's the globalists going into Poland.
00:05:11.800 The iron law of woke projection wins yet again.
00:05:16.240 The globalists are trying to take over Poland because they want to crack down on dissent and
00:05:21.380 use Poland and the Polish people as a place to escalate and expand the war in Ukraine.
00:05:27.760 They will send people in and they're locking up dissidents right now.
00:05:30.960 They're locking up anyone in parliament that isn't fully on board with their agenda.
00:05:35.180 I thank God that there's Polish patriots running around out there.
00:05:38.360 But you must be.
00:05:40.220 You must rise up peacefully and you must be wary for provocations, federal plants, communists
00:05:46.020 coming in and trying to pull the Ray Epps Fed's erection playbook on you today and tomorrow
00:05:50.940 as the Polish patriots take to the streets to protest the political prisoners that have
00:05:55.580 been taking.
00:05:56.100 Look, folks, we got a lot going on.
00:05:57.760 But I'll tell you right now, we are in the weeks where decades happen.
00:06:01.400 We are winning.
00:06:02.900 We are ascendant.
00:06:04.360 God is ascendant.
00:06:05.780 Christ is ascendant.
00:06:06.900 And we will meet them on the field of spiritual warfare.

00:06:31.140 I rolled with bloods and them boys had a saying.
00:06:35.500 You can't be listening to all that slappy, whack, trimatazol, it's a bam ship, nippy
00:06:39.920 bam, bam, like Human Events with Jack Posobiec.
00:06:45.320 Folks, I'm telling you, the world is quickly descending into chaos.
00:06:48.480 And I'll tell you another thing.
00:06:49.580 The next medical crisis, it's just around the corner.
00:06:52.360 Whether it's another pandemic or something closer to home, preparedness is no longer an
00:06:55.800 option.
00:06:56.340 It's a necessity.
00:06:56.960 That is where the wellness company comes in from something innocent and natural, like
00:07:01.180 a tick bite to COVID to the next bioweapon manufactured in a lab.
00:07:05.080 The wellness company's medical emergency kit is what you need to be prepared.
00:07:08.720 It contains life-saving medications like ivermectin, emergency antibiotics, a Z-Pak, so much more,
00:07:13.480 as well as a guidebook to aid in the self-use of these life-saving medications.
00:07:17.560 The wellness company and their doctors, including Peter McCullough, Dr. James Thorpe, Dr.
00:07:21.760 Harvey Reich, Dr. Drew Pinsky, and Dr. Robert Seek, and so many more are medical professionals
00:07:26.820 that you can trust.

00:08:01.900 Now, I'm talking about the globalists on the march, and this is what we're talking about
00:08:06.380 here on today's show.
00:08:07.980 But I'll tell you another thing.
00:08:09.880 The front lines against globalism, it's not all the way over in Poland, even though there's
00:08:14.460 a lot going on in Poland.
00:08:15.620 It's not in Davos where the World Economic Forum is having the legion of globalists, and
00:08:20.200 their summit begins on Monday, and we're going to have some live reporting from there.
00:08:25.060 No, it's in your own neighborhoods.
00:08:28.400 The front line is in your neighborhood.
00:08:30.180 The front line is your town.
00:08:31.300 The front line is your community.
00:08:32.440 The front line is your church.
00:08:34.260 Specifically, if you live in one of the swing states, specifically if you live in a battleground
00:08:38.920 state, and specifically if you live in a place like Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina,
00:08:43.740 Nevada, these early states, this is the front lines.
00:08:46.920 And someone who is absolutely up to his ears and data on this is Richard Barris, the People's
00:08:52.940 Pundit.
00:08:53.240 He joins us here today.
00:08:54.320 Rich, what are you seeing on the front lines as we speak?
00:08:59.040 Hey, Jack.
00:08:59.880 Thanks for having me, as always.
00:09:01.280 Appreciate it.
00:09:02.240 We're in the field in Iowa right now, actually.
00:09:05.180 We've spoken with almost now about a thousand Iowans.
00:09:09.300 It's going to be more than a caucus poll.
00:09:11.320 We're also polling the general election, getting new numbers on that.
00:09:15.200 There's a few things.
00:09:16.240 One is I want to tell people you really always expect, I don't want to say an upset, but
00:09:23.880 a surprise in Iowa.
00:09:25.220 Someone will do better than expected, and someone will do worse than expected.
00:09:29.380 But we have never seen somebody lose when they have a lead as big as Donald Trump has
00:09:34.220 right now.
00:09:34.720 Now, I'm not telling Trump voters to be complacent.
00:09:37.240 I'm not saying that for that reason.
00:09:38.520 I'm simply saying in the field right now, and he's doing very well.
00:09:44.440 I mean, the former president has a significant lead.
00:09:47.740 Out in New Hampshire, that's the kind of state where if there was going to be some kind of
00:09:52.080 an upset, it would be in the state of New Hampshire.
00:09:55.040 That said, it really depends on how polls are modeling how many moderates and independents
00:10:01.200 are going to turn out.
00:10:02.740 So, for instance, CNN, the University of New Hampshire, we call them bearish.
00:10:07.680 We have these different tranches.
00:10:09.780 They've been in a tranche that has pulled Trump low compared to the consensus.
00:10:14.760 All cycles.
00:10:15.800 So, they had Nikki Haley closer with Trump having a seven-point lead.
00:10:19.140 The very same day, the Suffolk USA Today poll had Trump with 20-point lead.
00:10:25.460 Clearly, movement.
00:10:26.820 Even in Iowa, it's very clear that Nikki Haley did gain some traction.
00:10:31.560 It's just in Iowa, does she have the organization to really pull off a second-place finish?
00:10:38.280 Organization will matter in a caucus.
00:10:40.300 There's no doubt.
00:10:40.840 Well, and so when we're looking at this, we're talking, and I've heard the whisper campaign
00:10:47.800 that's been hitting my inbox.
00:10:49.840 I'm sure you're getting some of these texts as well.
00:10:51.420 People see, you know, a lot of these people placing their bets.
00:10:54.860 They're saying, I don't know.
00:10:56.080 I don't know.
00:10:56.680 I'm hearing a lot about this ground game.
00:10:58.460 Ron DeSantis.
00:10:59.420 It's going to be a come from behind.
00:11:00.980 People aren't seeing it.
00:11:02.160 A lot of chatter on the ground.
00:11:03.460 Is that real, or is that one of these destabilization, whisper campaign kind of tactics?
00:11:10.140 Kind of like, by the way, the same type of tactic that we saw out of Jeff Rowe with Ted
00:11:15.120 Cruz when he was saying that Ben Carson was dropping out of the race as the caucuses were
00:11:19.900 still going.
00:11:21.160 I was just going to say that.
00:11:22.760 You have to remember who surrounds, even with Jeff Rowe gone from Never Back Down, who
00:11:26.680 still surrounds Ron DeSantis.
00:11:29.040 Many of the same people.
00:11:30.040 He got Bob Vander Plaats' endorsement.
00:11:32.280 So they pulled the same, they used the same template that Cruz and others like Santorum
00:11:36.900 have used.
00:11:38.000 But folks, when Rick Santorum pulled an upset, he won by 0.1%.
00:11:43.840 Mitt Romney only had a little over a one-point lead.
00:11:47.920 This was not huge.
00:11:49.460 In 2016, when there was another so-called upset, you had those whisper campaigns that
00:11:54.640 were employed by Cruz.
00:11:56.220 He overperformed by about four points.
00:11:58.720 Donald Trump underperformed by about four points, roughly.
00:12:03.500 But anyway, it came to actually combined seven point, the disparity was seven points between
00:12:10.220 the RCP average was and what the actual result was.
00:12:14.480 Organization can do that.
00:12:16.420 And Trump had no organization in 2016.
00:12:18.740 We all hear a lot about these commit to caucus cards.
00:12:21.540 Trump didn't have any of that going in 2016.
00:12:24.020 And he still got second place.
00:12:25.560 You know, there's a lot of people in the poll that we're conducting now.
00:12:30.260 And I think people are misunderstanding what a commit to caucus card is.
00:12:33.900 They're enormously helpful for campaigns because you know who people are.
00:12:37.580 The campaign can reach back out to them.
00:12:39.540 But we, if you have a campaign, Jack, that in April had 20 points, 25 points more support
00:12:47.120 than they do now, there will be people who sign those commit to caucus cards back then and
00:12:52.600 now are not caucusing for Ron DeSantis.
00:12:55.300 We are talking to them in the poll where we've heard from many of them.
00:12:59.480 They've changed their mind.
00:13:00.760 It is not a binding agreement.
00:13:02.720 They're not obligated once they sign that.
00:13:04.980 They can change their mind.
00:13:06.500 And I think a lot of people don't seem to understand.
00:13:08.420 Now, DeSantis' ground game is part on loan from Kim Reynolds, and it's part of what Never
00:13:14.980 Back Down spent.
00:13:15.900 Although we know they did not spend all of that money on ground like they initially said
00:13:20.620 they were going to spend.
00:13:21.860 They wasted a lot on TV ads that didn't resonate, and even some that backfired.
00:13:26.500 Nikki Haley-
00:13:27.120 I love that story.
00:13:27.960 I love that story.
00:13:29.660 It's true.
00:13:30.100 You know it backfired.
00:13:31.260 They were running anti-Trump ads, and it backfired, and they said, you know, this ad
00:13:35.360 makes me, reminds me why I like Trump in the first place.
00:13:38.340 I think, I don't like these attacks.
00:13:39.580 I think I'm going to support Trump actually more.
00:13:42.380 Incredible.
00:13:42.960 Incredible.
00:13:43.220 And I'm telling you, in polling, we, yeah, in polling, we heard from people who told us
00:13:48.180 all, and because Never Back Down had been so synonymous with Ron DeSantis, they knew,
00:13:54.200 or they basically viewed it as coming from Ron DeSantis.
00:13:57.360 And we talked to people who said there just came a point where Never Back Down just, they
00:14:02.540 overdid it, you know?
00:14:03.680 They just overdid it.
00:14:05.020 All they do is attack, and, you know, we're getting tired of it.
00:14:09.060 So even when they then turned their attention on Nikki Haley, it backfired on them even with
00:14:14.080 Nikki Haley now.
00:14:15.280 So they need to focus a lot less on Donald Trump, and they need to focus more on Nikki
00:14:20.240 Haley, because at this point, you know, it's not at all, it's not at all assured that
00:14:27.280 Ron DeSantis will get second place in Iowa.
00:14:29.360 Let me just put it that way.
00:14:30.580 And there are signs.
00:14:32.060 Whoa, whoa.
00:14:33.060 Walk me through that.
00:14:34.120 Walk me through that, because that's huge.
00:14:35.940 Yeah.
00:14:36.560 I'm telling you, Vivek has some, there's some underlying things with Vivek's support where
00:14:41.340 it would not surprise me if he overperformed.
00:14:44.020 And Nikki Haley is surging with Never Trump voters right now.
00:14:48.080 And Ron DeSantis has basically lost a lot of his MAGA.
00:14:51.700 And we're asking about second choice, and it's funny, you know, once upon a time, you
00:14:55.860 would think almost all of Nikki Haley's second choice would go to DeSantis or something like
00:14:59.820 that.
00:15:00.120 It's not like that anymore.
00:15:01.600 You know, they're basically splitting.
00:15:03.020 If it's a Haley voter in Iowa right now, and we ask about their second choice, it could
00:15:07.840 be DeSantis.
00:15:08.540 It could be Trump.
00:15:09.320 It's like, you know, chopped up pretty evenly.
00:15:12.120 And the same thing now is true of DeSantis.
00:15:13.940 But all of the MAGA that DeSantis once had is basically in Trump's column.
00:15:19.840 Also, Trump's voter is totally locked in, like their core support.
00:15:27.080 Each of them, we're going to, when we report this, we're going to report top line, like
00:15:30.860 everybody else does with polling.
00:15:32.260 But we're also going to give a couple more things.
00:15:34.320 One is their core level of support, caucus goers who are convinced, and they're not going
00:15:39.440 to change their mind at the caucus.
00:15:40.720 And then we're going to give people a range based on that, the second choice, and who
00:15:45.420 the leaners are.
00:15:46.640 And by the way, Trump is winning the leaners in Iowa.
00:15:49.860 Those 6% who still stubbornly say I'm undecided, 6% or 8%, we're forcing them to choose.
00:15:57.060 And Trump is winning them.
00:15:58.060 So, it's, there's makings of being surprised, like by Haley or Vivac beating DeSantis.
00:16:07.000 There is not really anything in the cake that Trump is going, you know, to somehow underperform
00:16:12.980 by 30 points.
00:16:14.220 Jack, it's not there.
00:16:16.460 It's not.
00:16:16.760 Those are, like I said, those are whispers.
00:16:18.320 This has been a huge thing that Charlie Kirk and I have been talking about recently, saying
00:16:22.220 that, you know, if the DeSantis campaign and if they want to use the Jeff Rowe magic math
00:16:27.100 strategy of Cruz from 2016, they're going to come out of this and say, oh, look, Trump
00:16:31.540 won, but he underperformed the polls.
00:16:33.360 You see, they said he was going to have a 40-point blowout and he only won by 35 or he
00:16:37.140 only won by 20 or something like this.
00:16:39.540 And they're going to spread that narrative out.
00:16:42.100 And then Yahoo News is going to have it.
00:16:43.980 And, you know, when people go to check their emails, CNN is going to run with that.
00:16:46.920 Trump underperforms.
00:16:47.980 Trump underperforms.
00:16:48.780 So even though he wins, that will be the headline that you see plastered everywhere
00:16:54.040 out there.
00:16:54.760 So what you're saying is, though, is that this may actually be it, that this may actually
00:17:00.040 be it for DeSantis.
00:17:02.440 He's got nowhere to go after this, Jack.
00:17:04.580 And I'm telling you, it is not at all assured, even with his ground game, that he can take
00:17:09.460 second because it's a classic battle between organization and momentum.
00:17:13.760 And Trump and Haley right now are getting the late deciders.
00:17:18.000 OK, they're also getting mind changers, people who are with somebody else.
00:17:22.520 DeSantis is basically plateaued.
00:17:25.680 And it's only for him.
00:17:26.980 It's about getting the vote out.
00:17:29.280 Haley doesn't have what she has is momentum, but she doesn't have organization.
00:17:33.460 And it's not a primary.
00:17:34.980 It's a caucus.
00:17:35.800 People know how how a caucus works.
00:17:37.980 You need that organization.
00:17:39.480 So it is possible that DeSantis' organization is superior and he'll edge her out.
00:17:44.960 But organically right now, he's going to he's I agree with other polls.
00:17:50.400 Let me put it this way, because we're not done yet.
00:17:52.700 I would don't be surprised if Nikki Haley is in second in this poll.
00:17:55.960 And I've seen other.
00:17:56.880 Obviously, there have there have been other polls that that are hold that hold that right
00:18:01.000 there, because we're going to be back more with Richard Barris.
00:18:04.360 And I promised you guys last week when we talked to Rich, we're going to talk about
00:18:08.180 the unions and we've got to talk about Michigan and the Rust Belt when we come back.
00:18:14.760 You know, they talk about influences.
00:18:16.760 These are influences and they're friends of mine.
00:18:21.020 Jack Prasovic.
00:18:22.500 Where's Jack?

00:19:42.460 That's Moinkbox.com slash POSO.
00:19:44.960 Rich, we promise we talk about unions.
00:19:48.300 Trump met with the head of the Teamsters last week.
00:19:51.540 This is huge.
00:19:52.760 I think a lot of people who are reporting on the 2024 race are not understanding this.
00:19:56.780 But you see Trump meeting with the head of the Teamsters.
00:19:58.760 And then all of a sudden, we get this poll out of Detroit News, which is one of the gold
00:20:04.700 standard polls for Michigan that says Trump is up eight points.
00:20:09.380 Eight points.
00:20:10.240 And you have the pollster in there saying that if I was in the White House right now,
00:20:15.540 I would be pulling the alarm bells.
00:20:18.620 Why is Trump?
00:20:19.720 Why is Trump just dominating in the state of Michigan right now?
00:20:24.580 You know, I was reading the interviews and I do want to bring up the union vote specifically
00:20:28.840 because I had an article on Locals about it.
00:20:31.300 People should go and check it out.
00:20:32.380 It was on Real Clear Politics because it's huge and people aren't talking about it, Jack.
00:20:36.400 You're right, 100%.
00:20:37.500 And I'm reading the interviews and one of the gentlemen who said, look, I'm open to voting
00:20:43.500 for a Democrat.
00:20:44.360 I could vote for a different Democrat, maybe depending on, even though he went with Trump over
00:20:48.560 Newsom, too.
00:20:49.680 But he said, I can count on Trump being Trump.
00:20:52.380 And I voted for Biden last time.
00:20:54.620 And he's just not the guy they portrayed him to be.
00:20:58.440 And this is a common theme.
00:21:00.060 We're hearing this a lot.
00:21:01.060 And the truth is, it's because the image Biden was portraying and the media were portraying
00:21:05.360 of him in 2020 was not real.
00:21:07.860 You know that.
00:21:08.560 I know that because we're political junkies.
00:21:10.320 But normies, right?
00:21:11.980 They didn't know that.
00:21:13.020 And then also in Michigan, Pennsylvania, these union heavy states, Trump did very well against
00:21:18.800 Hillary Clinton in 16 with unions.
00:21:21.280 And it was driven by overperforming with private sector unions.
00:21:25.100 Clinton only won them by four or five points overall union households.
00:21:29.360 And that's nothing for a Democratic candidate.
00:21:31.860 But then Biden wound up winning them by about 14 points again, 54 to 40.
00:21:37.700 And I went back and I'm looking at or 56 to 40, excuse me.
00:21:41.340 And then I went back and looked at some of our data that we had because we had Trump up by
00:21:45.900 five in Michigan, which concerned me.
00:21:48.280 I thought that was too much.
00:21:49.380 And now here we have a plus eight.
00:21:51.760 And I'm looking back and the union vote is key, is a big part of this.
00:21:56.180 So these voters who told us they voted in 2020, for instance, the margin was identical to
00:22:02.120 their margin, their actual vote margin in 2020.
00:22:05.380 So, you know, the poll was representative.
00:22:07.780 And Jack, they told us they voted for Biden 57.8 to 42 or 59.6 to 36.9.
00:22:15.560 And now it's basically almost even.
00:22:18.920 It looks more like 2016 than it does 2020.
00:22:22.080 So when you look.
00:22:22.880 So what's going on?
00:22:24.160 Tell me the private sector.
00:22:25.220 The numbers are there.
00:22:26.480 The numbers are there.
00:22:27.580 Private sector unions.
00:22:29.120 This is a state, Michigan, that Biden, you know, we're told, you know, won in 2020.
00:22:34.580 But what is going on?
00:22:37.320 Because look, we talk about the margin of fraud.
00:22:39.240 All right.
00:22:39.820 I'm going to say something right now.
00:22:40.900 When I saw that poll, I said Trump is currently polling above the margin of fraud in Michigan.
00:22:46.560 Rich, how is he driving that?
00:22:49.100 Yeah.
00:22:49.320 I mean, this is a part of the one thing I want to say is that in 20,
00:22:54.720 some of that was like logistics and organization because if there were articles in Politico about it,
00:23:00.320 they put the screws to the leadership of these unions, put the screws to the members in 2020 and said,
00:23:06.080 you do not abandon the Democratic nominee like you did to Hillary Clinton.
00:23:09.940 Now, private sector unions are basically saying, Jack, I don't really care what you say.
00:23:15.760 It's a secret palette.
00:23:16.720 I'm going to do what I'm going to do.
00:23:17.920 In 20, they kind of listened.
00:23:19.540 It's all about the economy.
00:23:21.440 That trip that some of the media mocked, you know, when he went to Michigan instead of going to the debate and he sat with the United Auto Workers,
00:23:29.700 this, you know, this very, this A-B test that's going on, this like choose A or choose B, both of these men have records now.
00:23:38.680 And when Trump was president, these union workers will tell you that life for them was really good.
00:23:44.840 Joe Biden, they don't know who he is.
00:23:46.920 They don't know what he's made out of, even with some of the perceived flaws with Trump, which we know there are.
00:23:52.260 They don't care because at least they know who Trump is and they can count on Trump to be Trump.
00:23:56.440 He says that the one guy that they interviewed and highlighted, he literally says that.
00:24:01.640 I think it's a huge deal, and it comes again from just this – when you're presented with something, Jack, as one thing, you know, politicians do that.
00:24:10.860 They have a brand that they're trying to sell you, but then you turn out not to be that brand.
00:24:15.560 It's like you feel like you were sold a bill of goods that was bogus.
00:24:19.940 With Trump, he is what he is, and he delivered a good peace and prosperity term for them, and they want that back.
00:24:27.220 So I really think that is such a hurdle for Joe Biden to make.
00:24:35.120 And people are saying, you know, pull the fire alarm.
00:24:37.200 But what's he going to do, Jack?
00:24:38.860 What's he going to do?
00:24:40.500 How is he going to change that perception?
00:24:42.460 I don't know.
00:24:43.620 I don't know.
00:24:44.160 These are both universally known men.
00:24:46.680 They both have records.
00:24:48.360 The world would have to – the fires would have to be put out around the world, and the economy would have to, like, roar.
00:24:54.380 You know, roar, not the fake roaring, which we all – we saw the employment numbers again this month.
00:25:01.920 11 out of 12 months have been downwardly revised.
00:25:05.220 Like, job creation is not real in this country.
00:25:08.320 It would have to get real.
00:25:10.280 And Obama tried making the same argument for Hillary Clinton in 16.
00:25:14.480 They would pump up these bogus numbers that were always revised, and the American people didn't feel it.
00:25:19.600 And they – so they ignored them, and they voted for Donald Trump.
00:25:24.320 And that's going to happen again if it's not a real change.
00:25:27.560 One of the biggest wedges that I've seen in just talking to people up there, reviewing interviews as well, is this issue of the electric vehicle mandate.
00:25:38.920 Because I think a lot of people saw the electric vehicle mandate, and they said, oh, that's fine.
00:25:43.240 You know, the autoworkers will be for that.
00:25:45.120 But the autoworkers, they are up in arms over it.
00:25:48.100 But Biden, he's fully embedded to the electric vehicle mandate because of his green energy sector, because of that part of the coalition, because of that money that's going into his coffers.
00:25:59.320 But at the same time, Trump has just said, no, it's done.
00:26:01.800 It is going to be out day one.
00:26:03.880 Talk to me about this.
00:26:05.460 Yeah, and you can see that by region.
00:26:06.980 Again, there were some parts of Michigan where Trump had slipped, where he had done better, and he flipped a bunch of counties that Obama had won.
00:26:14.220 The autoworkers liked Obama because he was perceived to have saved the auto industry during the Great Recession.
00:26:21.060 But then they went for Trump over Hillary.
00:26:23.260 Now, you know, Biden has tied himself to this green agenda.
00:26:28.280 He can't reverse that, Jack.
00:26:29.800 He can't go around that, even if it means him suffering in the southeastern part of the state, even if it means him suffering with the United Autoworkers.
00:26:38.640 And it's very, I mean, it's not just us.
00:26:40.160 You could see it in this Glenn Gareth poll for the Detroit News and many others.
00:26:44.520 Trump is doing better in these areas because he's reclaiming the margin he once had with some, with working class in general.
00:26:52.800 And then, I mean, this is surprising to people, but I think maybe we all have to start to come to grips with this.
00:26:57.980 Michigan was always the tougher of the three states for Trump to win in 16 and 20, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan.
00:27:05.100 But because of the demographics of Michigan and the demographics that we're seeing shift to Trump, younger black men, working class, non-whites, they build cars too, Jack.
00:27:16.280 You know, they're in private sector unions too.
00:27:19.440 And Trump is now doing better with them than he ever did.
00:27:22.300 So it is starting to make sense to me that Michigan, for instance, may be a state that Trump performs stronger than one of the other two states where, you know, he seemed to have a better chance to carry.
00:27:35.940 Because Michigan, he only carried by a little under 11,000 votes in 16, and then he lost it by a little over two and a half points in 20.
00:27:42.920 Well, Rich, we've been talking about in all the interviews that you and I have been doing for the last six months.
00:27:50.660 We've been talking Wisconsin, Wisconsin, Wisconsin, Wisconsin, Wisconsin.
00:27:53.420 And I do still think that Wisconsin needs to be a big piece of the strategy.
00:27:57.080 But all of a sudden, I'm like, let's put some more chips in Michigan over here.
00:28:02.400 This is the – listen, this is why I – and people may take this as being pro-Trump.
00:28:10.400 The point – it's not the point. It's about strategy, and it's about just using your brain.
00:28:15.420 When you have somebody like Donald Trump as the nominee, Iowa and Ohio, Florida, they come off the table, Jack.
00:28:21.980 I mean they wasted a lot of money in 2020 in those states that I could have told you in August he was going to win overwhelmingly.
00:28:28.600 So that leaves resources and time to go after these other states.
00:28:33.240 Absolutely, you hammer Wisconsin.
00:28:34.980 I mean it is still going to be the state that polls more Democrat than it votes.
00:28:38.900 That is going to happen.
00:28:40.400 But it means you have time and you have money to also go after Michigan.
00:28:46.000 And Minnesota, by the way, they're all right there.
00:28:48.860 You just do this five-point pattern in campaign stops, and you can hit these states.
00:28:55.080 I mean because I'm telling you, now that we pulled the entire Rust Belt last month, we had Trump up by five in Michigan.
00:29:01.660 It was one of the strongest states.
00:29:02.960 But Minnesota was dead even, and if I had any reservations about the accuracy of it, look at everyone else now in Michigan.
00:29:12.280 So very clearly that state is close.
00:29:14.760 So if you don't have to worry about losing Ohio, which he was leading by 14 points, and you don't have to worry about losing Iowa, where he is stomping Joe Biden right now because we're pulling it again, then you go and you hit these other states.
00:29:29.080 You do.
00:29:29.540 I mean it's just a waste of money, Jack.
00:29:32.220 I got to say this.
00:29:33.560 You know, $8 million in Michigan is secure a victory in Michigan.
00:29:37.700 That's what it would take.
00:29:38.600 I mean we've detailed it.
00:29:39.640 We've done the numbers.
00:29:41.200 Ballpark, same amount in Pennsylvania.
00:29:43.120 They spent $22 million in the last final stretch on TV advertising in Iowa alone just to try to diminish Donald Trump's significant lead.
00:29:53.860 This is crazy.
00:29:54.880 This is a total waste of money.
00:29:56.580 I'm sorry.
00:29:57.180 Rich, final 30 seconds, man.
00:29:59.760 Could never win.
00:30:01.060 Sorry.
00:30:01.400 You're right.
00:30:01.920 They're torching money that could be used for ballot operations in the fall for everyone up and down the ballot.
00:30:06.860 Where can people go to follow you and get all the information from the people's pundit himself?
00:30:11.100 Best place, Jack, is on Locals.
00:30:12.820 It's peoplespundit.locals.com, brother.
00:30:15.720 Thanks for having me on.
00:30:17.180 Rich, incredible, incredible work as always.
00:30:20.280 I need to see that Iowa poll when it comes out because these final polls, we're going to know very shortly, folks, who was right, who was wrong.
00:30:28.080 A lot of people are going to be deleting tweets after Ron DeSantis loses the Iowa caucus.
00:30:34.560 Stay tuned.
00:30:35.000 Daniel Turner comes with us next.
00:30:42.820 Where is Jack?
00:30:46.620 Where is Jack?
00:30:48.780 Where is he?
00:30:50.080 Jack, I want to see you.
00:30:53.720 Great job, Jack.
00:30:55.120 Thank you.
00:30:55.920 What a job you do.
00:30:57.320 You know, we have an incredible thing.
00:30:58.720 We're always talking about the fake news and the bad.
00:31:00.800 But we have guys, and these are the guys who should be getting Pulisic.
00:31:04.520 All right, Jack Posobiec back here live at Human Events Daily.
00:31:09.540 We're going to do a political discussion now because we are in a political season.
00:31:14.440 We're in a political election year.
00:31:16.620 And in an election year, you need to win over various constituencies.
00:31:20.160 And you need to win over those constituencies in the battleground areas.
00:31:23.480 We've known since 2016, one of the key areas in this country has been the Rust Belt.
00:31:29.160 Here on this program, Human Events Daily, we've been harping over the Rust Belt almost every
00:31:33.580 single day, every single time we talk about it.
00:31:36.000 And if you want to understand the Rust Belt, you have to understand the workers.
00:31:39.580 And up there, it's the United Auto Workers.
00:31:42.240 Daniel Turner, Power of the Future, joins us now.
00:31:45.040 Daniel, you've talked about the impact before of the EV mandate, the electric vehicle mandate.
00:31:51.580 Seems like the UAW workers are completely against it.
00:31:55.880 And if the Detroit News poll is any indication, they're backing Trump even bigger than the margin
00:32:01.340 of victory.
00:32:02.200 Walk us through how this has become such a political albatross and really that Biden is just stuck
00:32:09.460 with it.
00:32:10.300 Yeah, and it's incredible to see all of these things converge at the same time.
00:32:14.720 The entire green movement, which I fight against in my daily, the entire green movement really
00:32:20.260 is made in China.
00:32:21.860 And so it's not surprising the Rust Belt is turning from this.
00:32:25.340 Back when the Green New Deal was introduced by Congressman Ocasio-Cortez, one of the most
00:32:30.160 vociferous opponents of it was the AFL-CIO, Richard Trumka, because he realized that this
00:32:36.000 entire thing was made on foreign soil.
00:32:38.180 And so EV mandates are just a continuation of that.
00:32:41.100 If you're an auto worker, why would you want to be forced to make a car that just bits and
00:32:46.220 pieces of it are going to be made in China with 30% of a smaller American workforce?
00:32:51.040 Why would you want to support a mandate that's basically telling you, hey, work on this now,
00:32:56.360 but we're going to fire you in a couple of years if this goes through?
00:32:59.420 So it's really not surprising that so much of the Rust Belt, and this goes back 20, 30
00:33:04.360 years, so much of these jobs that we have shipped to China, these are the workers.
00:33:08.880 They were the heart of the Trump campaign back in 2016, and they will absolutely support
00:33:13.360 him again in 2024.
00:33:15.920 Well, and it's amazing, too, and Rich Barris is just on here now because, you know, you
00:33:20.300 did see the support a little bit swing back to Biden in 2020, but now Biden's got a record.
00:33:25.720 Biden's got a record of saying, I will sell you out.
00:33:28.400 I'm not interested in helping you.
00:33:29.980 I'm interested in helping China.
00:33:31.440 And this green movement, and talk to me a little bit.
00:33:33.760 Why is it that they're so wedded on the left to this green movement?
00:33:37.900 I mean, couldn't Biden just come out and say, hey, we're going to shut this off?
00:33:41.540 I mean, politically speaking, you'd think he'd want to say something.
00:33:44.520 I'm sure, by the way, he probably will say something like this later this year.
00:33:48.440 He will.
00:33:49.360 He'll reverse course when the going gets tough, as he's done before.
00:33:53.640 Look, I'm not going to give campaign advice to the Biden team, but if I were, if he just
00:33:59.440 made drilling for American oil and gas and producing coal easier, right, and he deregulated
00:34:05.480 the industry and just let us do our jobs, we would see inflation drop.
00:34:09.520 We'd see the price of goods drop.
00:34:12.080 We'd see China get weaker.
00:34:13.480 We'd see Russia get weaker.
00:34:14.780 We'd see Iran get weaker.
00:34:16.580 That's less violence in the Middle East.
00:34:18.200 That's less attacks on Ukraine.
00:34:20.500 And Biden would win re-election.
00:34:22.320 This is not a difficult concept to understand, and yet he still won't do it.
00:34:27.200 That's how powerful the green movement is and how much of, when I say this is a religion
00:34:31.780 and people like me say that the green cult or climate change is a religion, that is how
00:34:36.720 serious they take this religion.
00:34:38.720 Does it matter that this is good for the American people?
00:34:41.640 Does it matter that it's good for foreign policy or has cost 500,000 Ukrainian lives?
00:34:47.280 What matters is combating climate change.
00:34:49.700 They believe that to their core because it's clearly about control.
00:34:53.020 It's not about the environment.
00:34:54.160 It's a control issue.
00:34:55.440 And they're not going to surrender it.
00:34:57.000 Even if it means losing the election, they are not going to surrender it.
00:35:01.480 No, I think you're exactly right.
00:35:03.020 And it's interesting, too, because I had a conversation with a contact who was out in
00:35:08.560 Silicon Valley recently talking to one of these guys and saying, you know, the two biggest
00:35:12.380 issues are climate change and AI.
00:35:15.060 And this is someone who's, you know, worth easy, you know, 400, 500 million dollars.
00:35:19.720 And climate change is going to kill everybody.
00:35:21.920 And AI, by the way, is the way that we're going to save ourselves from this is what these
00:35:26.900 people talk about behind closed doors.
00:35:29.380 And I wish and there's so many people that want to write it off and say, oh, you know,
00:35:32.640 it's just greed and the military industrial complex is just greed and avarice and everybody's
00:35:37.420 making money.
00:35:38.000 And like, I wish I wish it was just that.
00:35:40.680 But unfortunately, these people actually believe these things.
00:35:43.940 Yeah, and it is the greatest cause of the elite suburban, predominantly white, upper middle
00:35:52.880 class of America.
00:35:53.920 Right.
00:35:54.280 It is why it's it's it's the cause du jour of rich housewives and McLean and beta men.
00:36:00.160 And climate change has always been that.
00:36:02.820 But if you're the struggling American family, climate change is not making your eggs cost
00:36:07.260 four dollars a dozen.
00:36:08.340 Climate change is not making your gas expensive.
00:36:11.180 Biden brags about how gas prices are down and they are.
00:36:14.640 But there's still more than a dollar expensive per gallon than when he took office.
00:36:18.500 Right.
00:36:18.980 Climate change is not making your utility bill 40 percent higher.
00:36:21.920 What is is Biden's green agenda.
00:36:24.520 And climate change is not costing you your job in Detroit, in Wisconsin, in Ohio, in
00:36:29.620 Pennsylvania, in West Virginia, places that have been ignored for for decades, ignored
00:36:36.080 even by their own elected officials.
00:36:37.660 You know, Bob Casey's up for reelection.
00:36:39.740 What has he done for Pennsylvania?
00:36:40.980 Where does he stand on the green agenda?
00:36:42.500 Where does he stand on on fracking bans and this war on coal?
00:36:46.780 Same with Sherrod Brown, Ohio, huge oil, gas, coal state.
00:36:50.120 Where does he stand?
00:36:51.640 Right.
00:36:52.160 Here are two very important senators looking for third terms.
00:36:56.620 They're part of the problem.
00:36:58.360 And so it's not surprising that their voters are shifting towards someone who actually will
00:37:02.540 have their back when it comes to oil, jobs, coal, gas, fracking pipelines, et cetera, et
00:37:08.420 cetera.
00:37:09.700 Yeah, to be honest, I've been looking at some of the numbers in my my home state of Pennsylvania
00:37:13.940 tracking this.
00:37:15.480 Look, Casey is still going to be very formidable up there as an incumbent senator because he has
00:37:20.080 that name ID from back when his dad.
00:37:22.360 This is Casey Jr.
00:37:23.420 But of course, he doesn't he doesn't run around telling anyone he's Casey Jr.
00:37:27.240 He never uses the junior because his dad was such a popular governor in Pennsylvania.
00:37:31.900 He's just using that legacy over and over and over to get reelected.
00:37:35.880 And then what does he do when he's in office?
00:37:37.120 Absolutely nothing in a strange way, though, Fetterman has kind of had this like star turn
00:37:44.180 ever since his stroke.
00:37:45.400 And he's kind of talking like a Republican all of a sudden when he when he gets into talking
00:37:50.160 about the Middle East, talking about Israel, talking about terrorism, talking about the
00:37:53.380 border.
00:37:54.260 At the same time, his wife is like gone completely missing when she used to be super camera hungry.
00:37:59.160 And and I think that he his star turn is really overshadowing the fact that Bob Casey has been
00:38:05.200 a wall for all these years.
00:38:06.860 And people are saying to themselves, you know, maybe we could use another senator who actually
00:38:11.340 does something.
00:38:12.120 Now, is Dave McCormick going to be that guy?
00:38:13.940 I think he is going to win the primary.
00:38:16.100 We'll see.
00:38:16.780 I think Trump will run ahead of any Republican in Pennsylvania right now.
00:38:20.640 And for those same reasons that you mentioned.
00:38:22.320 But I do think that because of a lot of this in Pennsylvania, certainly in Western Pennsylvania,
00:38:26.380 when it comes to fracking, is is very much a Rust Belt state.
00:38:30.760 Pennsylvania is kind of like two states combined because we all we have the Acela corridor,
00:38:33.800 too, which, of course, is where I hail from.
00:38:36.420 And and then you have Western PA.
00:38:38.740 But Bannon likes to say, Poso, you're from the wrong side of Pennsylvania, man.
00:38:42.340 He should have been from should have been from out west.
00:38:44.800 But tell me about the frackers out there.
00:38:47.460 Those you know, those those those those those crowds of frackers over in Western Pennsylvania.
00:38:52.300 How are they being hurt so much by Biden?
00:38:55.260 Yeah, well, look, and it's estimated around 500000 people work in this job.
00:38:59.480 And that's a lot of people, especially when you consider that 500000 people have spouses
00:39:04.400 and moms and dads and brothers and sisters in law.
00:39:07.620 And if that person is in your family, you have to vote to protect their job.
00:39:12.060 And when you have these EPA regulations that come from the Biden administration, when you
00:39:17.120 have these enormous rules that come out of the Department of Interior, when you just have
00:39:20.920 the absence of land leases, right?
00:39:23.380 Governor Bergen, when he was running for president, we used to talk about on stage how he had to
00:39:28.160 sue the administration to finally have them go back and have land leases, something that
00:39:32.300 is required by law.
00:39:34.060 They just will not do it.
00:39:35.200 So if you deny people access to oil and gas, you deny their funding through the entire ESG
00:39:41.180 movement, and then you punish the back end by gas stove mandates and leaf blowers, etc.
00:39:47.120 Of course, the industry is going to suffer.
00:39:49.540 And that's 500000 folks, let alone coal jobs, let alone so many of these jobs.
00:39:54.780 And again, how is life better?
00:39:57.180 That's why Biden has to talk about white supremacy.
00:39:59.980 He has to talk about racism.
00:40:01.500 He has no record to run on because life is categorically more expensive.
00:40:06.480 I've been thinking so much about that line from Reagan of 1980, and it's probably the
00:40:10.980 most quoted and it's the most simple.
00:40:13.280 But boy, is it powerful.
00:40:15.000 Are you better off than you were four years ago?
00:40:16.960 That sums up this entire Trump campaign, too.
00:40:19.780 Are you better off?
00:40:20.920 Defense contractors are maybe better off and the pharmaceutical industries may be better
00:40:24.700 off.
00:40:25.340 But your average American, especially those in the Rust Belt, especially those in the energy
00:40:29.360 industry, they're not they're not better off.
00:40:31.820 And no amount of white supremacy fear, no amount of J6 fear is going to change the fact
00:40:37.440 that I can't afford groceries seen by the fact that our credit card debt is at the highest
00:40:42.400 it's ever been in history.
00:40:43.520 Americans are poor right now.
00:40:45.320 And they'll vote that way.
00:40:47.460 You're exactly right.
00:40:48.220 Daniel Turner, Power of the Future, is our guest.
00:40:50.580 We've got one more segment with him coming up after the break.
00:40:53.300 Fact of the matter is, folks, are you better off today than you were four years ago?
00:40:59.260 It's all that needs to be said.
00:41:00.540 That's literally all that needs to be said.
00:41:02.840 Stay tuned.
00:41:03.220 Be right back.
00:41:03.560 All right, Jack, so we're back here live final segment, Human Events Daily.
00:41:14.860 And I have a question for Mr. Daniel Turner, Mr. because we use proper titles around here.
00:41:20.900 Power of the Future.
00:41:21.760 I have a question.
00:41:22.860 I was watching Tucker Carlson recently.
00:41:25.700 Does does oil come from dinosaurs?
00:41:27.980 Like when I go to the gas station and I fill up my car, am I pouring a T-Rex into my gas tank?
00:41:34.360 Because I remember hearing that on TV when I was a kid.
00:41:37.600 And we used to have the Sinclair stations with their little dinosaur running around.
00:41:42.480 Is that true?
00:41:43.600 Or was the entire government lying to us for all these years?
00:41:48.760 They're not fossils.
00:41:51.000 They're not dinosaur bones.
00:41:54.120 I will say on the offset, I always use the term fossil fuels.
00:41:57.980 Because as a big fan of Wittgenstein and philosophy of language, I don't cede language.
00:42:04.240 And so I get a lot of problems, a lot of emails like, stop saying fossil fuels.
00:42:08.260 It's inaccurate.
00:42:08.940 It is the conventional term.
00:42:10.360 And I'm not going to, you know, change what words I use to describe this industry to appease any agenda.
00:42:17.000 We call it fossil fuels.
00:42:18.460 You know, I'm just going to stick with it.
00:42:20.120 But yes, I'm well aware and most Americans are that it's not actual dinosaur bones.
00:42:24.160 It is hydrocarbons.
00:42:25.580 And it was at one point organic material.
00:42:28.080 But if you remember basic biology and chemistry, every living thing is made up of carbon.
00:42:33.660 And so it kind of makes you laugh when you hear people like John Kerry or even better when Joe Biden was in Scotland back at COP26, I guess it was.
00:42:42.920 And he talked about trying to rid all the world of carbon.
00:42:45.920 And I thought, oh, that's bad.
00:42:47.420 Right.
00:42:47.640 Like, I hope you fail at that, because if you if you rid the world of carbon, we're going to be in bad shape.
00:42:52.300 But but no, it's not actually dinosaur bones.
00:42:54.960 Well, and so this is this is one of the things that that the scientist was getting at, too, because if if if these complex hydrocarbons were were only made from fossils and only organic material, then why is it that we're finding trace elements of them in space in areas where obviously we don't believe that complex life forms exist?
00:43:13.560 And I guess the question was more getting into the rat that which is, you know, a very heavily disputed rabbit hole of is this something that's potentially a basically a geological process?
00:43:24.720 Yeah, well, that's a great point.
00:43:26.800 And that's where I am.
00:43:29.240 We've heard from most of my life that we were going to hit peak oil.
00:43:33.660 Carter talked about it when he ran for president in.
00:43:36.660 Exactly.
00:43:37.240 And this has been a huge political talking point.
00:43:39.980 Huge. That's and the green guys use this all the time to say we need to move green.
00:43:43.660 We need to shift our entire energy grid over to green because run out, well, run out and they've been doing it for 50 years.
00:43:49.000 And so peak oil, according to Jimmy Carter, was going to happen by the year 2000.
00:43:53.280 And remember, all the experts agreed, Jack, this was science.
00:43:56.200 All the experts agree we will be out of oil by the year 2000.
00:43:59.460 My take on oil and gas and coal is that these things regenerate a lot faster than we've given them credit, because it seems just from our last 20 years in this in America alone, it seems that everywhere we look for, we find it and we find it an absolute abundance.
00:44:16.140 And we know some of the largest deposits are completely untapped, right?
00:44:20.920 Monterey Shale in California, all of New York State, which potentially has more natural gas than Pennsylvania and Ohio, other than Utica and Marcellus areas.
00:44:31.420 So, you know, my philosophy when it comes to fossil fuels are, are they finite?
00:44:36.080 Well, the world is finite, right?
00:44:38.020 The earth is finite.
00:44:39.180 So in a sense, yeah, I'll give you finite.
00:44:41.180 But are they regenerating?
00:44:42.380 I think they are, and I think they are regenerating so much faster than we could possibly realize, because we've been told peak oil is any day, and we seem to find more and more of it every single time we explore.
00:44:55.800 Yeah, you can go back and find speeches from presidents and politicians from all these years.
00:45:00.880 And, you know, everybody likes to show the Newsweek cover that talks about global cooling.
00:45:04.460 But I think one of the ones that's even more interesting is when they were talking about peak oil and this idea that we would, we were just about, and we, you know, we're at the bottom of, everyone remembers the great, the great Daniel Day-Lewis, you know, I drink your milkshake, you know, we're at the bottom of the milkshake.
00:45:17.740 We're at the bottom of the straw.
00:45:19.440 We're about to go, it's about to be tapped dry, just like at the end, and then he, then he kills the guy in the bowling alley.
00:45:24.180 But the idea is that we go lower and lower, and by the way, when it comes to the planet itself, we've barely even scratched the surface in terms of how far down we've gone.
00:45:35.800 Isn't that also true?
00:45:37.560 Oh, gosh, yeah.
00:45:38.480 I mean, we haven't even begun to explore offshore, and we do these things so responsibly.
00:45:44.200 So, yeah, we do this so responsibly, so ethically, with such environmental standards, it's why I'll never understand this current administration that says, well, we're not going to allow expanded offshore drilling, but we are going to buy oil from Venezuela, and we're going to allow China to explore in the Gulf of Mexico in international waters.
00:46:04.000 They can drill, but no, we're not.
00:46:05.980 And do we really think Chinese oil rigs are drilling responsibly in the Gulf?
00:46:09.320 Do we think they're going to do a better job than America?
00:46:11.660 No, they're mobile rigs that are going to be coming up from Cuba.
00:46:16.660 And you'd think just from an understanding of this, you know, this is not a resource that we've known in terms of human civilization for a very long time.
00:46:25.660 It comes across in the mid-1800s.
00:46:28.020 It leads to the Industrial Revolution.
00:46:29.860 But, I mean, that's like the blink of an eye compared to all of human civilization.
00:46:33.640 So, I think when it comes to oil, gas, coal, we just don't know so much of it, and we think we know everything.
00:46:42.400 And then all of a sudden, we discover this stuff.
00:46:44.680 It leads to the biggest expansion of just human quality of life.
00:46:50.280 And isn't that really all we're talking about is quality of life?
00:46:52.740 Absolutely.
00:46:53.180 When we talk about the politics in Michigan and everything else that we've seen in human history, and suddenly we want to turn it off just overnight like that.
00:47:02.080 And, you know, I don't know.
00:47:03.000 I think there's something going on that's a deeper conversation here because it is, as you say, it's almost like you have this massive industrial fight behind the scenes.
00:47:10.980 And that's what I will always love about this industry and why I fight so hard for it.
00:47:15.480 Yes, it's national security and it's prosperity in the economy, but more than anything else, it's human dignity.
00:47:20.680 And there is nothing dignified about allowing people to suffer the elements.
00:47:25.160 There's nothing dignified about allowing people to die in hospital beds.
00:47:29.480 And because of fossil fuels, we've discovered medicines and Tide Pods.
00:47:33.920 Sadly, the millennials are eating them, but most people can clean their clothes.
00:47:37.220 And there's nothing dignified about being in poverty, right?
00:47:40.520 And when you look at the history of man on this planet for however many tens of thousands of years, for almost all of it, we have had undignified existences.
00:47:49.600 And suddenly with the fossil fuel era from the 1850s on, average Joes can live in tremendous comfort and dignity.
00:47:57.860 And that is what fossil fuels can do.
00:47:59.780 And it is remarkable that this sludge, and we'll call it that lovingly, this sludge that comes from 10,000 feet underground is refined into millions of products.
00:48:09.640 And we sell it at the gallon for what a tenth of people buy Fiji water, right?
00:48:15.300 And you think of that, how is this possible?
00:48:17.680 How did someone figure out to take this sludge, again, from 10,000 feet below the ground and turn it into car tires and turn it into rubber and plastic and Band-Aids?
00:48:28.420 And so the dignity that comes from the fossil fuel industry, and there's no plan for getting rid of that.
00:48:35.080 When John Kerry says we're getting rid of fossil fuels, disposable diapers, what do we do?
00:48:40.840 Ask that question.
00:48:41.680 The dignity of life.
00:48:42.400 The dignity of life and the quality of life.
