Blizzard warnings are in effect in Iowa as Democratic primary voters head to the polls in record breaking cold, and the candidates are scrambling to make it there in order to get their supporters there in time to cast their ballots. Meanwhile, Charlie Kirk and Jack Posobiec take aim at Martin Luther King Day and the civil rights movement.
00:00:51.220This record breaking cold and those icy roads, factors the campaigns cannot control,
00:00:56.020though all of them are working to make sure their supporters at least have reliable transportation.
00:01:00.000to get to their caucus sites tomorrow night.
00:01:02.280Can't sit home. If you're sick as a dog, you say, darling, I gotta make it. Even if you vote and
00:01:09.880then pass away, it's worth it. One of the things that's been so stunning to me is the crazier things
00:01:14.000he says, the more people seem to embrace him, according to these DeWine register polls.
00:01:18.280It's good to be an underdog. So we're going to do well. But I'd rather have people
00:01:22.140count us out. I'd rather have people lower expectations for us.
00:01:26.780I think second place only matters if Donald Trump's under 50. I don't know how relevant
00:01:30.900second place is anymore. Second place is only looks as good as how how many percentage points
00:01:37.960under 50 Trump is. So the money train is still flowing and going. Are you worried though?
00:01:43.060We actually have a large fundraiser on the 30th of January at a New York City where we're raising
00:01:51.200a tremendous amount of money. Believe it or not, a number of it coming from Democrats.
00:01:56.660January 15th. I need each and every one of you to get out every everybody you get out,
00:02:03.100just get out and vote. You got to bring your friend, you know, we say plus 10. So plus 10 or
00:02:07.460plus two or plus 20. But bring them all out because we have to set the stage for November.
00:02:13.020Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome on board. Today's edition of Human Events Daily live from
00:02:17.540Washington, D.C. Today is January 15th, 2023. Anno Domini. Folks, we've got a massive day today
00:02:25.220ahead of us. We've got the Iowa caucus, which will be taking place in about seven hours time.
00:02:31.300Blizzard whiteout conditions. We know they're on the ground in Iowa. We are expecting full Trump
00:02:38.520domination and we're going to be going down to the field. We're going to be talking to
00:02:42.780Real America's voice correspondents that are there scattered throughout the state,
00:02:47.060just like scattered snow showers and snow storms throughout the state. Then, of course,
00:02:52.120we're also going to bring in Rich Barrett. He's going to walk us through some of this polling.
00:02:56.100We will see. We will see the $150 million that has been spent by the anti-Trump candidates.
00:03:05.900These candidates like DeSantis, these candidates like Nikki Haley, Vivek Ramaswamy, who was also
00:03:12.120running against Donald Trump in the primary and in this caucus. And I think that a lot of people just
00:03:19.120kind of found that out, that this sort of, you know, the friendly, I don't know what you want to
00:03:23.960call it. The friendly relations between the two camps have been torn asunder over the past 24, 48 hours.
00:03:30.780But one of the things that's also going on right now is today is the federal holiday of Martin Luther
00:03:37.320King Day. And of course, Charlie Kirk and myself have launched a blistering criticism of Martin Luther
00:03:44.240King and specifically the 60s CRM, the civil rights movement, the legacy of the CRM enshrining
00:03:53.440in a mandatory system at the federal level, race consciousness and racial discrimination,
00:04:01.540which has been executed as anti-white racism. Do you want to know why it is that you have to mark
00:04:11.000your race every time you apply for anything in this country, for a job, for a scholarship, for school?
00:04:16.520Well, that's because of the 60s and civil rights movement signed into law by LBJ. LBJ, who said,
00:04:24.520and I can't even say his actual quote here on the show, but I will say that LBJ said the reason that
00:04:30.960he signed all of these laws was not, I say again, was not in order to bring about equality. It was to
00:04:41.800get black people to vote Democrat for the next 200 years. But the word that he used for black people
00:04:47.300was not a word that we're allowed to say on this network and certainly not a word that I would just
00:04:51.700use in my regular life. Look, at the end of the day, we have to understand where these CRT radicals
00:04:58.560come from, the legal institutions, the illegal enshrinement in law. And at the end of the day,
00:05:04.560I'll basically say it like this. If we're going to make the 60s sacred and Blake Neff and I did
00:05:10.400the special on the 1960s, then they need the saint and the saint of the 60s is Martin Luther King.
00:05:16.640We don't talk about his personal life. We don't talk about his academic plagiarism where he stole
00:05:21.080the entire work of another student when he put it in for his doctorate. And at the end of the day,
00:05:25.740they'll say, oh, well, it was, it was a nonviolent movement. Even compact magazine is attacking
00:05:30.560Charlie and myself today saying that it was a nonviolent movement. Really? Go tell the people
00:05:35.540that lived in those cities along the East coast that lived in Detroit, that lived in Chicago,
00:05:39.680that the 60s were nonviolent. When you had snipers up on the roof for an entire week in Newark,
00:05:46.380shooting white people and saying that we have to get them out. Tell me that they were nonviolent.
00:05:51.240Tell me that it was a nonviolent movement that enshrined racial discrimination and race
00:05:56.920consciousness into the federal bureaucracy, because that's the real legacy of the 1960s.
00:06:01.900And I'll simply ask it this way. Are any of those cities or any of those communities
00:06:06.060better than they were before the 1960s by any metric? And if you can find for me, any metric
00:06:13.520by which inner cities are better now than they were by the sixties, I will fall on my sword.
00:06:19.900Rich Barris comes up next. Human Events Daily.
00:06:21.760Ladies and gentlemen, one of the best ways that you can support us here at Human Events and the work
00:06:29.580that we do is subscribing to us on our Rumble channel. Make sure you're subscribed. You hit
00:06:35.280the notifications so you'll never miss a clip. You'll never miss a new live episode. And we're
00:06:40.780putting them out every single day of the week. When I grew up in the hood, I rolled with bloods
00:06:45.820and them boys had a saying. You can't be listening to all that slappy whack trimatazolitzabam ship,
00:06:52.820nippy bam bam, like Human Events with Jack Posobiec. All right, Jack Posobiec back here,
00:06:59.720live Human Events Daily. I mean, you look at this, folks, the 60s Immigration Act, the LBJ Great Society
00:07:05.620programs, the LBJ CRA planted the seeds for the current destruction, decided that our Declaration
00:07:12.700of Independence and the American founding just, it wasn't quite good enough. No, we needed a new
00:07:18.220founding in the 1960s to create the new America. So if you look around and you ask questions about
00:07:24.660why things are the way they are, if you ask questions about what went wrong, especially when
00:07:32.040you look at those old videos of what New York City used to look like, especially, by the way, including
00:07:37.080Harlem, the Harlem Renaissance of the 1930s, and you'll ask, wait, it looked like things were going
00:07:42.680well. The answer, my friends, is actually the 1960s, because you really get the end of World War II,
00:07:49.4001945, you have the post-war movement, then it really ramps up when LBJ gets in office. And oh,
00:07:56.080we've done some interesting episodes with Roger Stone about how exactly it was that LBJ went into
00:08:01.800office. And you know, do you know what JFK once said about his vice presidential running mate? He
00:08:08.460once said to his wife, Jackie, who recorded it later in eight hours of interviews that she conducted
00:08:13.820after JFK's assassination, she said, Jack Kennedy, that's what he called himself. And just, just like
00:08:18.860me, I'm a John who goes by Jack. So he was a John who went by Jack. He said, Jack used to say,
00:08:23.260imagine what would happen if Linden became president. Did I see, do we have rich guys? Do we have rich
00:08:28.640Paris? Okay. I thought he thought I saw him pop up there for a second. Now, look, folks, it's really,
00:08:35.960it's really what it comes down to that this has been an operation to destabilize our country and
00:08:41.040to undermine the founding from the start, literally from the start. And I get it. People say, oh, but
00:08:46.420Poso and Charlie, it's, it's, it's very, you know, it's very, very upsetting. It's very,
00:08:53.820very upsetting to people for you to criticize something that's so popular. I know, I know.
00:09:01.180I remember all the way back on May 29th, 2020, when I watched the George Floyd, Derek Chauvin video,
00:09:07.480and I said, you know, that doesn't look like murder to me. That doesn't look like someone who's being
00:09:13.240killed. That looks like an overdose. That looks like an overdose from some kind of drugs.
00:09:20.420When they found out it was fentanyl, Derek Chauvin, not an EMT, waited for EMTs,
00:09:27.540had a suspect who was being completely, completely resistant to arrest, refused to simply sit down
00:09:36.160in the chair. All right. And I said that, and I got pilloried at the time for saying that about
00:09:40.760George Floyd and Derek Chauvin. I said, Derek Chauvin didn't murder George Floyd. And we remember
00:09:46.020what happened and BLM and the Ukraine war and Zelensky and all of these things that are so
00:09:51.880popular, the vaccines that we're not allowed to criticize. Well, you know what folks,
00:09:56.320if something's true, it's important to say rather than let a lie stand. So I'm not going to let my
00:10:02.560children believe lies and I will not allow this program to spread lies either. Do we have Rich
00:10:08.420Barris? I'm here, brother. Rich, what's going on, man? Look, we're, we're looking at Iowa. You've
00:10:15.120seen the final polls, you've seen the final polls. We've been talking about 2024 for so long. It's
00:10:20.540finally here, Iowa, a little bit adjacent to the rust belt. You've said before that it's, you know,
00:10:26.160it's got some, it's, it's rust belty, right? It's not quite the rust belt. Tell us you were in the
00:10:30.820field with big data poll. You've been reading all the other polls. What did you find from the voters
00:10:36.300of Iowa? Just a real quick update on the poll that we released on Friday. We had a phase out
00:10:41.940Christie over Saturday and Sunday, probably won't publish, you know, like a whole new thing. It's
00:10:47.460really not that much of a change. 40% of Christie's voters went to Nikki Haley, 10% roughly went to
00:10:53.340DeSantis, 10% roughly went to Vivek, and the others said they're not going to caucus. So this idea that,
00:10:58.800you know, in New Hampshire, for instance, you know, Christie voters are just going to superimpose
00:11:02.700on Nikki Haley. This is just not true. Uh, and then also I suspect that's the case in New
00:11:08.320Hampshire, because when we looked at them, Jack, they're not Republican voters. They're very
00:11:12.460different. They're like a piece of never Trump who really moved to democratic party. Never Trump
00:11:19.180are still Republican, but really Democrats who don't have a contest to participate in, who,
00:11:24.160who intend on voting for Nikki Haley or at was Chris Christie, just to kind of try to stick at the
00:11:30.160Trump and stop Trump. I don't think, again, we're looking at a state like Iowa. This is where we're
00:11:34.400at. All the other polls, uh, very clearly had Emerson out last night. The seltzer pulled out
00:11:39.780on a Saturday. Everyone followed our lead. You know, Nikki Haley had edged in the second place
00:11:44.720and now it's a textbook for second. It's a textbook example of momentum versus, or so so-called
00:11:51.920organization. And we're going to see how good that organization is for Ron DeSantis in a few hours.
00:11:57.440The problem with it is Jack, the bottom line is it doesn't matter how good your organization is if
00:12:03.820you don't have the support. And we spoke over the weekend to a lot of people who told us that six
00:12:07.900months ago, five months ago, three months ago, they had signed commitment to caucus cards for Ron
00:12:12.780DeSantis and now plan on voting or caucusing for Trump or, uh, most of them were now Trump voters
00:12:19.420with the president and, uh, nobody else coming close. So watch for the media spin, but, uh, you
00:12:28.020know, I think our poll and other polls are very clear. It's not really a contest.
00:12:32.720So basically what you're, what, what you're, you found was that these, uh, these people who were
00:12:38.380watching on, on, um, those early numbers when they were committing in, they're saying, and they've
00:12:43.820shifted over. And so a lot of these came to caucus and people know, like, like it's, it's a long
00:12:48.800system. I don't want to get completely into it. It's a, it's, it is a complicated system, but the
00:12:53.660idea that these, they are counting those as, uh, you know, committed caucus goers, but they've
00:12:58.520actually switched over. And, and, and, and rich, if you've talked to any of them or just anyone in
00:13:03.780general, can you tell us, you know, what are some of the things that you're hearing just in the raw
00:13:08.680data in some of the raw statements that you're getting out of these types of voters?
00:13:13.360Um, one woman from Sioux city, which is a very important area for Ron DeSantis. Um, they're
00:13:19.080more educated evangelicals there, you know, just felt like she was so cute. She was just like,
00:13:22.740I did sign those cards, but I'm, you know, I'm sorry. It just isn't what it, you know,
00:13:28.180he had, I thought, you know, that, uh, you know, that I was going to go with him and he just didn't,
00:13:32.540he Jack, he lost his authenticity with MAGA. And now he's struggling to find a lane with
00:13:38.480people like her. And now he's struggling to find a lane because he was trying to be MAGA for so long
00:13:43.540that the never Trump wing doesn't believe him. So he's like a guy without a home at this moment.
00:13:50.420And a lot of the people did frankly tell us that the only, you know, I don't know how to put it,
00:13:57.060but this is the problem these candidates have had all along. And ever since the indictments,
00:14:02.100Republican primary voters like her and others who were giving DeSantis a look,
00:14:08.480the indictments, I really just believe that if the deep state, the administrative state,
00:14:13.580if donors, if big media, uh, if any of these entities are allowed to pick the nominee or
00:14:19.440influence the process in any way, then they've already lost. It doesn't matter if Ron DeSantis
00:14:25.000is the nominee and hell, if he wins the presidency, it doesn't matter if Nikki Haley is the nominee.
00:14:31.100You as a Republicans, as the party and the movement, you've already lost because now you
00:14:38.280have taken something from you, you know, so they want Trump and it's not the role of any of these
00:14:44.660other entities to try to deny them that or to do. And it really comes down to that. And they don't
00:14:50.760feel that anyone other than him would be victory. And I, you know, I don't know how much more,
00:14:58.860you know, uh, blatant, I can explain that to, uh, the non-Trump people out there.
00:15:05.860Well, look, I I've seen just some anecdotally I've seen from some of the, uh, you know,
00:15:10.680just these rallies when, when some of the media covered, this is finally coming out and they're
00:15:14.600hearing the same responses that you've been saying on this program for a year now, they do not care
00:15:21.140about the blizzard. They don't care about the whiteout conditions. Okay. The polar vortex,
00:15:26.300this, there was one woman who said, I think it was NBC. She said, I will crawl over broken glass
00:15:32.600to vote for this guy. Uh, you would kid. And then you had kids coming out saying these 16 year olds
00:15:37.440saying, look, we're not even that into politics, but we like Trump. We don't even know how the caucus
00:15:42.340works. And that I would argue. And it's something, by the way, that you said as well,
00:15:45.980those are non-traditional voters. Those are people that Trump has reached out to through his embrace
00:15:53.360at totally unorthodox embrace of non-traditional media of going on sports media, of doing these
00:15:59.740sport, the UFC, doing all these events, doing all these podcasts out there on that circuit,
00:16:04.440when he was being criticized for not following the traditional route. Now, all of a sudden it's like,
00:16:10.040you know what, all of the people that he was trying to reach out to, as you said, so many times,
00:16:15.020the non-traditional voter, the low propensity voter, the zero propensity voter, uh, it sounds
00:16:21.480like he's hitting his exact target. Two minutes, rich, uh, rich bars.
00:16:26.320First time caucus goers, uh, the percentage that said that they would show up did ball from last month,
00:16:32.460but it fell from like a ridiculously high number of 45% to a little over 35%. Trump wins 60,
00:16:40.000one percent of first time caucus goers. I thought we were a little bit high when it came to the
00:16:47.180evangelical vote preference, but look, you can see it in the, uh, Iowa state university poll,
00:16:51.800which by the way has been more accurate than the Des Moines register poll. Okay. Um, they have a
00:16:57.120similar margin that we do. 56 to 60% of evangelicals are voting for Trump. Uh, the Emerson college,
00:17:03.00056% for Trump that are evangelical, uh, or 50, yeah, 56, 53% are voting for Trump or non-evangelical.
00:17:11.420Trump is ahead with every single demographic. I just,
00:17:18.340people how it's more than just a poll miss that would be necessary here for your dreams to come
00:17:26.200true. It would have to be, we're all wrong about vote preference and we modeled it wrong. Not just
00:17:30.860that we modeled it wrong because pollsters can miss by modeling, you know, uh, making assumptions
00:17:34.880about turnout, Jack, but they, it is very rare that you're that far off with vote preference.
00:17:42.420It's only a matter of what the margin is for Trump tonight. That's what it comes down to.
00:17:45.720And yes, his voters are going to vote.
00:17:48.260Final, final minute here. Where can people go to follow you throughout the day? I think,
00:17:54.720I know we're going to be doing a live stream later on. Rav, Charlie, we'll try to get you on.
00:17:59.920Yeah. Best place to, uh, to follow me and what we're doing over there, Jack is, uh,
00:18:03.420peoplespundit.locals.com. And of course, locals is where keep an eye out for that latest spread.
00:18:08.700We put out a projection spread per candidate. Keep an eye out. You'll get it there first.
00:18:12.640Big day folks. The front lines in the war against globalism. Today is the day in snowy Iowa where
00:18:22.780we begin to fight back against the regime. You know, they, you talk about influences.
00:18:31.280These are influences and, uh, they're friends of mine. Jack. Where's Jack? Jack. He's done a great job.
00:18:42.640Folks. The world is in flames. Bidenomics, a complete and total disaster, but it can't,
00:18:50.140and it won't ruin my day. And do you know why it's because I start my day with a hot America
00:18:54.620first cup of blackout coffee. This coffee is a hundred percent America and 100% committed
00:18:59.740to conservative values from sourcing the beans to the roasting process, customer support and

00:19:08.620Look, I love blackout coffee. When I was working this morning, we had some snow,
00:19:12.640uh, we had some snow at home. Tanya take comes over to me, boom, huge mug of the stuff, hands
00:19:17.800it to me, powers me, powers the day, powers this show on a day like this. When we know
00:19:22.140we're going to be up late, we know we're going to be waiting for those results to come in.

Guys, tell me what is going on here.
00:19:42.940What is going on in the field? What's it like in there? Is it a cold inside? Yeah, I guess you're not bundled up, so it must be a little warmer inside.
00:20:01.060Yeah, Jack, it is definitely cold outside, inside. I don't know, Kaelin, I still feel a chill, but you have your jacket on.
00:20:10.080It's just our cold, cold hearts is we've got to watch the DEI election unfold. If by inclusion, we mean people who eat their own boogers and neocons.
00:20:20.200We're very cold hearted for having to watch this through, Jack.
00:20:24.600Well, so tell me, what's the sense on the ground? You're at the, this is the area where it's going to be the Trump.
00:20:31.320Kind of the headquarters later tonight, the party, what's going on? What's the mood going in today? Do people feel anxious? Do they feel exuberant? Do they, you know, what are they, what are they saying?
00:20:43.600Yeah, people are excited. In all honesty, we all know this is a race for second place. It's just a matter of how much Trump is going to win tonight here.
00:20:52.520Even talking with the Trump team, people are very excited, very eager, not really any anxiousness. Cold, definitely still cold.
00:20:59.540I think the biggest question this weekend was, are people still going to come out and caucus, especially with that cold weather and the ice on the roads?
00:21:07.900And, you know, as we had mentioned earlier, Trump said his supporters will crawl on broken glass for him.
00:21:12.480Today, they're crawling on ice to get to him.
00:21:15.100You know, those doors open and you're going to see a bunch of Trump supporters.
00:21:18.920I'd said it before for every one DeSantis sign.
00:21:21.480And mind you, he spent a lot of resources here in the state.
00:21:24.560I see about three Trump signs. So that's just any indication of what's going on here in Iowa.
00:21:30.460Yeah, Jack, the question that's looming and people are asking each other here is whether or not DeSantis is even going to finish in the top two.
00:21:37.880I think this is something that we're going to see develop.
00:21:40.100He's clearly not handled this week with grace.
00:21:42.300I think we watched him kick a guy in a wheelchair out of a rally last night.
00:21:56.760You know, I I look, I honestly think that tonight is going to be a rude awakening for a lot of these people who have put so much money and so much time and effort into these candidates when we didn't need to do this.
00:22:10.440OK, we didn't need to have this knockdown drag out fight over the past year.
00:22:14.180And if there's anything that 2023, I think, has taught us, it's that this party believes, OK, the Republican Party believes and whether you like Trump or not.
00:22:22.740But the people of the party, the voters of the party believe that there is something that he has over these other candidates.
00:22:31.560And it's called simply unfinished business.
00:22:33.860It's unfinished business from his time as president, his unfinished business from the time when he was basically blocked from executing any of his presidency or getting any of his initiatives off the ground because he was completely bogged down by the Mueller indictment and the nullification process.
00:22:50.280Mueller investigation, let's say he wasn't indicted in that.
00:22:52.120But but it's it's this idea that the people of that, specifically the Midwest, specifically this part of the country who have been so overlooked right here, like, oh, you guys don't even have an NFL team.
00:23:03.220You don't matter, huh? You don't even have, you know, a major airport.
00:23:06.660I guess you're just like, you know, lower class, second tier Americans that actually know this was a political program that was done to them.
00:23:13.760And through them, they view Donald Trump as a way to get back out of it.
00:23:17.640Are you hearing that type of sentiment?
00:23:23.280And his message is really resonating, you know, with average Iowans.
00:23:26.660You got to remember, he's running with a track record.
00:23:28.920I know you know this, Jack, but he's done more for Iowans and a lot for farmers, you know, via trade and actually, you know, putting an America first trade and policy economic agenda.
00:24:22.440And, you know, speaking of the borders, Iowa is not a border town.
00:24:25.260But as we all know, those states in the Midwest are now feeling the effects of these immigration policies and what the Biden administration has done to Americans.
00:29:22.980Even more than when I was in Michigan or any of the other places, there's something about that Iowa cold that just really, really rips up at you.
00:32:33.980When we go over to the broader picture of the Middle East, when Donald Trump took office, Iran was in the nuclear deal, which Israel has always said threatens its national security.
00:32:49.340There was rampant terrorism in Israel claiming the lives of about 20 Israeli citizens per year.
00:32:55.600And Donald Trump came in with policies that are generally referred to as peace through strength.
00:33:01.160And peace through strength is often misunderstood by people.
00:33:03.420They think it's just about, like, you know, taking out Soleimani or taking out ISIS and flexing your muscles militarily.
00:33:09.320But it's actually a much more complex and, I would say, brilliant foreign policy, which is that Trump took the entire foreign policy establishment about the Middle East and he turned it on its head.
00:33:20.040And he came in and said, look, instead of trying to achieve peace by coming to an accommodation with your enemies, how about we try to achieve peace by strengthening our friends?
00:33:31.760And when you strengthen your friends, you encourage more people to be your friends.
00:33:35.820So Trump comes into office, he makes his first foreign policy speech on foreign soil in Riyadh, strengthening the relationship with the Saudis.
00:33:46.740Now, the Saudis are no angels, but in the Arab world, they're not interested necessarily in taking down the West.
00:33:55.540They're interested in monetizing the relationship with the West.
00:33:58.320I consider them the mafia versus the jihadis.
00:34:01.540The mafia is interested in making a buck.
00:34:03.300So the Saudis want a good relationship with the U.S.
00:34:06.500Donald Trump comes in and says, OK, we're going to strengthen that relationship.
00:34:17.020We're going to tell the Palestinian Authority that it's unacceptable that they're funding terrorism.
00:34:22.340So Donald Trump signs into law the Taylor Force Act, which is a law that Americans should become familiar with.
00:34:28.260The Taylor Force Act is, again, a law, not a Trump executive order, not a Trump-era policy, but a law passed by both houses and signed by the President of the United States that calls for a cessation of aid to the Palestinian Authority so long as they give cash payouts to the families of terrorist murderers.
00:34:50.340The Palestinian Authority, since its inception, has been making cash payouts to the families of anyone who murders Israelis or really tourists in Israel.
