00:00:25.820 The Poso Daily Brief.
00:00:30.000 This is what happens when the fourth turning meets fifth generation warfare.
00:00:39.780 A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran.
00:00:46.480 This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.
00:00:49.400 Deliver us from evil.
00:00:51.660 Breaking news in the Middle East.
00:00:52.980 Iran accusing Israel of launching an airstrike in Syria today that killed at least four Iranian military advisors.
00:01:00.000 Two Navy SEALs who went missing on January 11th are now being classified as deceased, according to U.S. CENTCOM.
00:01:06.560 The two went in the water off the coast of Somalia while they were boarding a ship carrying weapons bound for the Houthi group in Yemen.
00:01:13.360 U.S. forces hit Houthi targets in Yemen for the seventh time in 11 days.
00:01:17.420 The strikes heading off attacks on American ships in the Red Sea.
00:01:20.420 As soon as I lift my hand from the Bible as your 47th president, I will seal the border, shut down the invasion of millions and millions of people coming into our country.
00:01:33.060 If you want to know what it was like growing up, I was disqualified from a beauty pageant because I wasn't white or black.
00:01:39.860 So, look, I know the hardships, the pain that come with racism.
00:01:46.820 Unfortunately for Nikki Haley, her voters seem to have, in the polls at least, seem to measure the least enthusiasm for turning out.
00:01:55.640 I'd like to take time to congratulate Ron DeSantis.
00:01:59.600 I can't ask our supporters to volunteer their time and donate their resources if we don't have a clear path to victory.
00:02:17.460 Accordingly, I am today suspending my campaign.
00:02:20.340 It's clear to me that a majority of Republican primary voters want to give Donald Trump another chance.
00:02:24.820 I signed a pledge to support the Republican nominee, and I will honor that pledge.
00:02:30.080 He has my endorsement because we can't go back to the old Republican guard of yesteryear.
00:02:34.840 Will I be using the name Ron DeSantis?
00:02:37.580 I said that name is officially retired.
00:02:42.540 Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily Live from Washington, D.C.
00:02:50.760 Today is January 22nd, 2024.
00:02:53.360 For Anno, Domini.
00:02:54.980 Folks, what can I say?
00:02:56.960 Ron DeSantis yesterday, in a surprise, though not really that much of a surprise, announcement,
00:03:03.020 declared that he is suspending his presidential campaign, and he endorsed Donald J. Trump.
00:03:10.580 There's a lot that can be said about this.
00:03:11.900 I think the main thing I'll say, and I don't want to beleaguer the point, because it's been said.
00:03:18.020 I said as much on X, but I'll say here on the program, because we're on the program, and that's why we do this.
00:03:23.380 It didn't have to be this way.
00:03:25.300 It didn't have to happen.
00:03:26.340 We were always going to end up here.
00:03:29.280 We were always going to get to this point.
00:03:31.580 We didn't have to waste all this time.
00:03:33.140 We didn't have to waste all this money.
00:03:35.080 We've got a lot of work to do between now and November.
00:03:38.860 So no more time for games, no more time for vanity projects, no more time for, what was this, a quarter of a billion dollars.
00:03:48.380 Torched.
00:03:49.480 Completely torched.
00:03:51.080 Money that could be going to Scott Pressler.
00:03:54.500 Money that could be going to election harvesting, ballot harvesting.
00:03:59.480 Money that could be going anywhere.
00:04:02.180 Election integrity.
00:04:03.060 Money that could be going with Mike Lindell and his efforts to get rid of these electronic voting machines.
00:04:11.320 Simple question.
00:04:12.960 Simple question.
00:04:14.220 But look, at the end of the day, we have a country to save.
00:04:18.980 And so the most important thing, and possibly the most urgent thing for all of us to do going forward, is to gang up and bully the neocons.
00:04:28.880 I'm telling you, I don't want a neocon to be able to walk down the street.
00:04:34.840 I don't want a neocon to be able to show their face in public.
00:04:38.340 So when Nikki Haley or Joe Biden or any one of these people, John Bolton, show their face, Dick Cheney.
00:04:48.600 Okay.
00:04:48.980 I don't want any of them to be able to show their faces in public.
00:04:53.120 You're in the wrong zip code, neocon.
00:04:55.880 Neocon, this neighborhood ain't big enough for the both of us.
00:05:00.640 One of us is going to have to go.
00:05:02.880 Okay.
00:05:03.700 Look, do we want to go back to the D.C. controlled uniparty establishment?
00:05:10.740 Or do we want to go forward with the populist nationalist forces at our backs?
00:05:17.820 The wind is in our sails.
00:05:20.300 And the question is, are we going to tack into it together?
00:05:25.480 Are we going to be the country that gives a blank check to regimes like this crooked regime in Ukraine, where they're already, by the way, talking about getting rid of their current military leader, and they want to hire this other guy who's never even been, you know, never even been a combat commander before, not a strategist?
00:05:47.260 Do we want to be a military that goes around searching for adventures, blowing up the entire Middle East?
00:05:55.020 Or do we want to become a country that's totally subservient to the globalist powers of the World Economic Forum, Brussels, and the WHO?
00:06:04.700 It's all inextricably connected, folks.
00:06:08.080 We can be a nation state once more.
00:06:10.240 And that country is known as America.
00:06:12.440 I think it's worth saving.
00:06:14.460 Rich Baris Jones is next.

00:06:36.880 I grew up in the hood.
00:06:37.820 I rolled with bloods.
00:06:39.460 And them boys had a saying.
00:06:41.600 You can't be listening to all that slappy whack trim out his alitzabam ship.
00:06:45.800 Nippy Bam Bam.
00:06:47.040 Like Human Events with Jack Posobiec.
00:06:49.080 All right, we're back.
00:06:52.840 Human Events Daily, folks.
00:06:53.840 I'd love to tell you about today's sponsor, Allegiance Gold.
00:06:57.360 If you're part of the Human Events Daily audience, you're aware of the disaster that the Biden regime has made of the American retirement system.
00:07:03.800 Overspending and overprinting of money are the two main reasons American retirement accounts have lost 25% over the past three years.
00:07:10.620 Now, what does that mean?
00:07:11.300 You're going to have to work a decade longer or come out of retirement just to recoup your losses.
00:07:18.080 Well, thanks to Allegiance Gold, there's a way to stop the bleeding.
00:07:21.460 Gold is a hedge against inflation and runs counter to the effects of Bidenomics.

00:08:18.900 All right, folks, we've got the great Richard Barris joining us now, the People's Pundit here.
00:08:24.800 Rich, look, we knew that to this day was going to come.
00:08:27.820 We knew that this week was going to come.
00:08:30.220 Let me ask you this quick question because I don't want to beleaguer the point too much.
00:08:34.420 But there's been this refrain coming that Trump only won because of the indictments.
00:08:40.840 Have you heard this refrain out of some of the camp?
00:08:45.260 And at the end of the day, look, I want to get together and go up against the neocons.
00:08:50.020 But is that true?
00:08:51.040 Did Trump only win this because of the indictments?
00:08:54.260 Yeah.
00:08:54.620 As, you know, it's always the case of politics, Jack, and thanks for having me on.
00:08:58.280 People look for, like, one simple explanation to explain the turn of events, how things happen.
00:09:04.960 In politics, that is almost never the case.
00:09:07.520 I don't know if there's anyone but me who had been tracking Republican primary voter sentiment
00:09:13.840 throughout and during all of these periods enough to make a call about this.
00:09:19.860 And the fact is, DeSantis first started to decline when he had the exchange with Tucker
00:09:26.080 over the Ukraine issue and he flip-flopped.
00:09:29.560 And then that's when voters started to really pay attention.
00:09:32.700 The indictments, was it just that or was it how everyone reacted to them, Jack?
00:09:38.160 Was it the fact that if you believed that they were politically, you know, political persecution
00:09:43.820 and that they shouldn't stand in this country, would you have waged a campaign against them
00:09:47.660 in the first place?
00:09:49.240 So I don't subscribe to that.
00:09:52.060 Look, the polls were pretty close when we came out of the 22 midterm elections.
00:09:56.040 It's that one remained authentic and trustworthy and the rest did not.
00:10:03.780 Yeah, no, I think you're exactly right.
00:10:06.980 The Tucker-Ukraine thing is really where this started it.
00:10:11.460 But let's go forward because you were polling it.
00:10:15.080 Now, this I really wanted to get into, though, with you because, look, at the end of the
00:10:20.160 day, I want to gang up against the neocons.
00:10:23.520 And if there's anything that the former DeSantis supporters can agree with us on, I would hope
00:10:28.200 it's that we need to get the neocons out of control and out of power.
00:10:33.780 And so, you know, look, I'll just go out and say this.
00:10:36.980 I meant to say at the beginning, I'll say it now.
00:10:40.300 Look, we know the deep stakes is on right now.
00:10:43.440 It's been kind of a shadow campaign.
00:10:45.020 There's a lot of shadow campaigns going on right now.
00:10:47.200 Tim Scott, obviously interested in that position.
00:10:50.120 Vivek Ramaswamy, obviously interested in that position.
00:10:52.900 Ben Carson's name floated around a lot.
00:10:55.600 I don't think you can have a serious discussion about a VP contender if you're not including
00:11:01.980 the name Ron DeSantis right now.
00:11:03.740 And I think it just stands to be said.
00:11:05.440 I think his name has to be included.
00:11:07.720 Though we know there's a lot of bridge mending that would need to go on between the camps
00:11:13.500 before anything like that would happen.
00:11:15.800 At the same time, I just say, you know, it seems like his name needs to be, you know,
00:11:20.900 needs to be on the list.
00:11:22.100 Needs to be on the list.
00:11:23.360 Yeah, look, I think Ron DeSantis would be more adverse to that.
00:11:28.800 He certainly expressed that he was in the beginning of this.
00:11:32.880 And I just got to, I do have to say this, look, X, Twitter, they're real, but they're
00:11:38.480 not really reflective or representative of the entire electorate.
00:11:42.580 All right.
00:11:42.880 So Ron DeSantis' supporters at large, and we've been polling them for a long time, we've asked
00:11:49.260 them, what are you going to do if Ron's not the nominee?
00:11:51.380 Just like we asked Biden supporters, just like we asked Trump supporters.
00:11:55.120 And the truth is, if you were on X all day, you would think that there's this huge rift.
00:12:00.860 Um, that's not really the case.
00:12:03.380 I've been putting up chart after chart, the most, the vast majority, it's, it's very normal
00:12:08.760 compared to other primary, uh, elections that we've seen Ted Cruz's supporters, even people
00:12:15.060 like John Kasich supporters, very normal.
00:12:17.800 The difference has always been with Nikki Haley and Chris Christie supporters who aren't really
00:12:23.160 Republicans.
00:12:23.820 These are neocons trying to take control back of the party.
00:12:26.800 And, um, and, and basically they've been voting Democrat for a long time and pretending to
00:12:32.980 be Republican.
00:12:33.920 That's what the data suggests, you know, and publicly they pretend to be, but I think, you
00:12:39.120 know, Ron DeSantis was the second choice for MAGA for the, you know, the base and his name
00:12:46.960 is, you know, going to be included in maybe not VP, but attorney general, stuff like that.
00:12:52.580 It's going to be floated.
00:12:53.800 That's, it has to, like you said, any serious discussion about it, people are going to bring
00:12:58.740 it up.
00:13:00.640 Well, yeah, I think it has to.
00:13:01.940 And, and whether that pick makes sense or whether it's viable, that's, you know, that's
00:13:06.580 not something I think about, you know, you know, obviously look, people even said back
00:13:10.560 in 16, would Trump and Cruz do something together?
00:13:13.280 And they ultimately didn't, but this certainly was a talking point.
00:13:16.280 Of course it was.
00:13:18.460 And again, I, Trump's pick for VP is different this year.
00:13:22.660 It's a tough call, Jack.
00:13:23.960 It's a tough call because it better be somebody that the deep state fears just as much as Donald
00:13:29.160 Trump and not just the deep state, but the Republican establishment.
00:13:33.320 If he picked, uh, and it's not going to happen, but if he picked something that was more, someone
00:13:38.640 that was more ideologically aligned with say Nikki Haley, you could expect the McConnell wing
00:13:43.840 of the party to try to wage some kind of internal coup, you know, and, and, uh, have them become
00:13:48.520 the president or worse, as we have talked about before, which I'm telling you, I'm really,
00:13:54.560 I'm really concerned about it.
00:13:56.120 I am.
00:13:56.800 And I completely agree with you.
00:13:58.440 I'm, I'm, I'm laughing because I'm reading the comments and some of the comments are saying,
00:14:02.260 no, Jack, no run for VP will not do it.
00:14:05.320 I'm not going in for this guy.
00:14:06.540 I'm not, I'm not promoting it.
00:14:09.840 I'm just saying you have to have the discussion.
00:14:12.120 You have to, you have to talk out the strategy there.
00:14:15.280 Obviously there's constitutional questions as well with both of them, uh, being in the
00:14:19.860 state of Florida.
00:14:20.840 Now, obviously Trump could, uh, switch his residence to any of his numerous, you know,
00:14:26.560 numerous residences and that would be perfectly fine.
00:14:28.800 Um, but you know, I, and, and for the record, for the, for the absolute record, my current
00:14:35.120 vote is still for, uh, for Rand Paul as VP.
00:14:38.000 And I think Rand Paul is obviously some of the deep state absolutely hates.
00:14:42.800 Yeah.
00:14:43.340 Someone like that.
00:14:44.600 His choice again is different.
00:14:46.400 Usually modern politics.
00:14:47.940 It's the deep stakes has been a question about regional balance, right?
00:14:52.400 Because the LBJ era, when JFK picked LBJ, a Southerner from Texas, when he was in new England,
00:14:59.160 liberal from Massachusetts, um, that's kind of like dominated our thought process as pundits
00:15:05.360 and, and people who follow, uh, politics in this world.
00:15:08.360 And it's, I, I've never really thought that it was very, uh, credible argument anyway.
00:15:14.460 LBJ is probably the strongest argument for that school of thought.
00:15:18.380 But Trump's consideration this time is totally different than anything anyone has ever done.
00:15:25.100 You can't make your base mad.
00:15:26.640 You can't piss off your base, but you also have to make sure that you yourself are protected
00:15:30.660 because if it's somebody that is not like you, somebody who doesn't share your vision,
00:15:35.000 uh, Mike Pence was, um, the right pick.
00:15:38.240 I would say in 2016, he calmed people's fears about what Trump would be like when he governed
00:15:43.920 traditional conservatives, um, but this is a totally different decision this time around.
00:15:49.840 By the way, one of the other, one of the other names out there, uh, Sarah Huckabee Sanders,
00:15:55.020 a lot of people have been saying Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
00:15:57.260 And Lee Zeldin and, uh, and Stefanik have been thrown around.
00:16:01.580 And again, I see the comments when we discuss this too.
00:16:04.200 It's not that anyone's like endorsing it or bringing it up.
00:16:07.240 Uh, but these are the names that are going to be.
00:16:09.800 This is the difference that of what Rich and I are saying.
00:16:12.620 We are not saying these are our preferences.
00:16:15.680 Okay.
00:16:16.340 I'm not saying this is my current particular preference, but Rich, this is what you and
00:16:20.780 I were saying about the primary in general.
00:16:22.540 You have to understand the strategic thinking and you have to understand the strategic moves
00:16:28.340 that you're making as to say, what is the best move?
00:16:31.180 Not just what your particular preference might be.
00:16:34.640 So-called pundits and influencers, whatever you want to call them.
00:16:39.120 Uh, Jack and I were just talking about this folks somewhere along the line.
00:16:42.620 And all of these people, uh, if they ever had their way and lost their way, and they've
00:16:47.100 kind of like trained audiences that when we start to talk about things, people think
00:16:51.880 immediately that's our preference.
00:16:53.340 So we're pushing it.
00:16:54.260 You have to tell people what the room is like.
00:16:57.340 You have to tell people that's your job.
00:16:59.140 Your job is not to push preference.
00:17:01.120 And unfortunately the cycle, that's all of any of these people did from big con, uh, you
00:17:06.920 know, all, all on, all on down the line.
00:17:08.880 We all know the usual names, the usual suspects we've been talking about.
00:17:11.780 You and I bash them on Twitter on a daily basis.
00:17:14.560 Uh, but the audience should know we're just, we're just calling how it is.
00:17:18.880 We're just telling you what it is.
00:17:20.520 Um, and the, these are the names people are going to walk up to Trump with, they're going
00:17:24.540 to be people from all ends, uh, from all sides of the spectrum.
00:17:27.740 We're going to have their preference that they're going to push.
00:17:30.560 This is what's going to be whispered in this year for the next couple of months.
00:17:33.620 I mean, it's just not, or weeks.
00:17:35.340 I think Trump, there's one thing we got to note here, Jack, this is 100% true.
00:17:39.480 Trump has a way of surprising everyone.
00:17:42.040 When he finally makes a decision, it's something that nobody was expecting.
00:17:46.560 Uh, and even if they were, maybe it was kind of like tossed to the side.
00:17:50.380 I favor this time.
00:17:51.780 I don't know about you.
00:17:52.460 You, my personal opinion, I think it's smarter for him to favor, for him to pick someone that
00:17:58.380 is a, uh, unconventional pick.
00:18:01.340 I do because he doesn't need anyone's support to win this thing in the traditional sense.
00:18:07.460 He doesn't.
00:18:08.320 Wesley Hunt, Rich Paris going for the big Wesley Hunt vote.
00:18:12.040 Trump Hunt.
00:18:14.220 I kind of, I kind of like this out.
00:18:15.540 Wouldn't that, wouldn't that be amazing?
00:18:16.780 By the way, Wesley Hunt, we'll see.
00:18:18.280 We'll, we will see folks.
00:18:19.600 By the way, for the record, I have heard that Lee Zeldin is not the pick.
00:18:23.360 I know some people were saying that over the weekend.
00:18:25.460 Um, not that he's not in the mix, but I have heard that that is not a done deal, uh, the
00:18:29.940 way some people have been claiming.
00:18:32.460 We're ahead of Human Events Daily.
00:18:36.660 Well, they talk about influencers.
00:18:38.600 These are influencers.

00:19:51.520 All right.
00:19:51.940 Back with Rich Barris.
00:19:53.500 We were chatting about the Veepstakes, Ron DeSantis, Wesley Hunt, Sarah Huckabee Sanders,
00:20:00.460 Elise Stefanik, Lee Zeldin, a lot of the names that are being thrown around out there.
00:20:04.700 But Rich, we've got a couple of polls that we wanted to walk through the people with.
00:20:11.700 And looking at this here, and this is Harvard Harris.
00:20:16.060 Is that right?
00:20:16.960 Tell me what we're looking at.
00:20:19.360 So Harvard Harris, that's Mark Penn, by the way, co-polling, basically jointly polling.
00:20:25.520 What you're seeing here with the Harvard Harris polls, big deal.
00:20:28.500 And I'm a little on the screen, but basically, well, this is the primary.
00:20:33.140 What I was actually thinking about, too, was people have, what are you going to do?
00:20:38.800 So it says Trump is there.
00:20:39.980 It is.
00:20:40.120 Thank you.
00:20:40.360 I couldn't see the top.
00:20:41.100 It's cut off.
00:20:41.580 Trump is the runaway favorite in a prospective GOP primary.
00:20:43.960 DeSantis is a distant second, followed by Haley.
00:20:48.940 You know what I look at when I see this?
00:20:51.040 I see the end of the consolidation argument and the argument by people who oppose Trump that there really is anywhere,
00:20:58.760 any path forward for this party, Jack, without MAGA really holding the banner, being the standard bearer for the party.
00:21:06.880 And DeSantis, I think at this point, too, he's heard himself.
00:21:10.060 He's got a lot of reputation building to do with the base.
00:21:14.000 But, you know, this is basically more of what we've seen, more of the same.
00:21:17.580 Once Trump won Iowa, momentum grows.
00:21:20.240 I tried to explain this to people for a while.
00:21:23.020 They're what we call, we've called it for a long time, primary physics.
00:21:26.700 And they are just as real as, you know, the forces in nature that Newton observed in the natural world.
00:21:33.100 There's momentum.
00:21:34.140 And once you start with that momentum, unless somebody stops you or something stops you, you're going to continue to consolidate.
00:21:41.680 And what we see in this Harvard-Harris poll is now the sixth poll that shows Trump above 70 since he won the Iowa caucuses.
00:21:48.480 You just can't read polls when you see Trump at 51 saying stupid things like, oh, that means 49% don't want Trump as the nominee.
00:21:56.640 That's not how statistics works.
00:21:58.520 That's not how elections work.
00:21:59.840 It's not how the human mind works.
00:22:01.700 I mean, I don't know how else to say this to people.
00:22:03.820 It's just amazing.
00:22:04.540 But it just kills that argument once and for all.
00:22:08.680 Now, Rich, I want to jump ahead if I can.
00:22:11.100 Guys, you want to put up still five here.
00:22:13.560 These are some really interesting questions.
00:22:15.860 I can't believe that we haven't seen this in a major poll yet.
00:22:18.060 But as far as I can say, Harvard-Harris has asked the question, would you continue to vote for Donald Trump, essentially, even if he's been convicted?
00:22:31.080 Walk us through the answers here.
00:22:32.980 So let me just preface the answer with me saying that we don't agree with asking questions like this.
00:22:38.200 The same goes if Joe Biden was impeached because he took bribes from China.
00:22:42.760 We live in a country that's polarized.
00:22:45.180 People are not dumb.
00:22:46.340 They know it's kind of built and baked into the cake already.
00:22:50.420 But what Harvard-Harris is showing is that Trump is now at a point, much like a Wall Street Journal poll found a couple of weeks, months back at this point, it just doesn't hurt him.
00:23:00.080 People believe that these are political prosecutions.
00:23:02.960 Even if they think maybe he did something wrong, it's just already baked into the cake, Jack.
00:23:08.620 And presidential elections are A-B tests.
00:23:11.720 I'm going to say this until the end of the cycle and beyond.
00:23:15.160 But people will have to choose between the guy whose life was better when he was the president.
00:23:20.480 Their lives were better when he was the president.
00:23:22.740 Versus the guy whose lives they now suck.
00:23:25.660 They're suck under him.
00:23:27.580 And he's prosecuting his political opponent.
00:23:29.720 So as damning as it sounds, when you ask the question, people are going to think, well, this is my choice.
00:23:36.140 And I either go back to the guy when my life was good or I stay with the guy who was prosecuting that guy and my life sucks.
00:23:43.220 And that's going to be the way.
00:23:44.220 And you look at this, and so it's if Trump was convicted by a jury of his peers on the Mar-a-Lago case, so this classified document, 5347, Trump, the RICO, blah, blah, blah, Georgia, 5149, Trump.
00:24:00.000 This is interesting, though.
00:24:00.920 I think that's because of the word RICO, by the way.
00:24:03.720 Probably, yeah.
00:24:04.600 Because RICO, we know, it's like gang, right?
00:24:06.820 That's like gang, mafia, Sopranos, Giuliani, five families, you know.
00:24:12.580 But if Donald Trump is convicted by a jury for inciting the Capitol riots of January, by the way, convicted, listen to the question, convicted by a jury, convicted by a jury.
00:24:26.240 Now, if I were to say convicted by a liberal jury, what if I were to say convicted by a D.C. jury?
00:24:31.240 What if I were to say convicted by a jury of liberal D.C. activists, right?
00:24:36.100 And so suddenly you're going to get different questions when it comes out of that.
00:24:39.660 So, yeah, the way they ask these questions is big.
00:24:42.580 And even that one, okay, that one came out 48-52 over Jan 6th.
00:24:46.980 So that one had Biden slightly up.
00:24:49.740 But even then, these are all within the margin of error.
00:24:53.580 Still four points better than their final 2020 poll, which was Biden plus eight.
00:24:58.120 And so, you know, within the potential for him to carry the Electoral College anyway.
00:25:04.600 I mean, Jack, here's the thing.
00:25:06.120 Right.
00:25:06.280 And these are national polls, which isn't how we vote.
00:25:09.040 So this has nothing to do with the Electoral College.
00:25:11.680 Right.
00:25:12.140 And this is this is where you just said it, because this is what matters.
00:25:16.100 How did they word that question?
00:25:17.580 What is reality?
00:25:18.760 Right.
00:25:18.960 So is is is it going to happen in a vacuum?
00:25:21.380 And Trump is not going to appeal and call it a liberal tainted jury.
00:25:24.800 Is Jack Smith not going to act the way he's been acting?
00:25:28.260 And those those filings are not going to be public for people to read.
00:25:32.260 They would need a blackout like they think they pulled in 2020 when it came to the Hunter
00:25:37.960 Biden laptop story.
00:25:39.280 I'll tell you, I just don't think that's possible anymore.
00:25:41.620 I don't think we live in that world.
00:25:43.080 They got one crack at that kind of an election in 2020.
00:25:47.180 I don't think they're going to get it again, Jack.
00:25:49.520 And plus, I think that people are a little bit they're hip to this now.
00:25:53.320 They're just wise to it.
00:25:54.600 It will not.
00:25:55.320 And none of these.
00:25:56.340 The truth is none of these are likely to see a courtroom before the presidential election.
00:26:03.180 And well, Harvard Harris, I would I would I definitely like to tell them that it looks
00:26:08.420 like that Georgia case is going to have a little bit of trouble the last couple of days.
00:26:13.420 They forgot to add the affair with Fannie Willis in the question.
00:26:17.740 Yeah, you want to talk about you want to talk about Rico?
00:26:21.220 You want to talk about some Rico?
00:26:22.560 I got some Rico for you.
00:26:23.980 It's it's called Nathan Wade and Fannie Willis.
00:26:28.720 OK, what?
00:26:29.820 By the way, I love how people I love how people still think that Trump is just lucky that he's
00:26:35.100 able to you know, that he's that all of these things keep happening to his enemies when
00:26:39.340 they when they don't realize that this is a guy who's got I'm telling you, he's
00:26:43.420 he has just got the momentum of the world at his back.
00:26:46.280 I'm telling you, you know, I'm a spiritual guy.
00:26:48.560 What can I say when I see the hand of God working through some of this stuff and exposing
00:26:53.140 these demons for who they are?
00:26:54.920 I just got to step back and say, look, miracles are real.
00:26:57.420 All right.
00:26:57.780 Miracles are real.
00:26:59.220 Everyone who comes at this guy can is at risk of ending up in a far worse position that
00:27:04.460 they started off before they came after him.
00:27:06.900 Michael Avenatti, Michael Cohen.
00:27:09.280 I mean, the list is just so long.
00:27:10.860 Now Fannie Willis is being added to that.
00:27:12.860 Jack Smith could have continued the rest of his life without everyone knowing what a
00:27:16.580 hack prosecutor he is and his incredible record of deception and being completely rebuffed
00:27:21.420 and rebuked by the Supreme Court.
00:27:23.540 He's like and he's as bad as Andrew Weissman.
00:27:26.300 I mean, he's been rebuked by the high court like that.
00:27:29.920 Not too many federal prosecutors have been humiliated and chastised by the high court as badly as
00:27:36.360 people like Jack Smith and Andrew Weissman.
00:27:38.880 Now, Jack, I think he'll be, you know, protected for the most part.
00:27:42.120 But will his reputation ever be the same when this is over?
00:27:45.140 Where is this going to end with Fannie Willis?
00:27:47.120 What she did?
00:27:47.980 And I'm not a lawyer, but talk to lawyer friends.
00:27:50.680 Like, how serious is this?
00:27:52.180 People would told me, you know, that two years ago they would never have expected something
00:27:57.480 like this to be real, that this story be real.
00:28:00.480 This is something you see in a TV show.
00:28:02.740 Jack, this is T.
00:28:03.840 This is not even a good TV show.
00:28:06.420 This is just like bad writing.
00:28:08.380 Like, she didn't spend the money in the middle of the case on all these trips to Napa Valley
00:28:15.440 and the Norwegian crew.
00:28:16.700 She wouldn't.
00:28:17.360 Nobody's that stupid.
00:28:18.840 Surely she would.
00:28:19.820 No, she really did.
00:28:21.340 And the fact, by the way, over the weekend, over the weekend, I don't know if you saw it,
00:28:25.900 because all of this is coming out from his wife who is divorcing him over this affair.
00:28:34.360 I can't even do it.
00:28:35.760 I can't even do it.
00:28:36.660 The wife is divorcing Nathan Wade.
00:28:39.480 She's going to Fannie Willis.
00:28:40.640 Fannie Willis had to.
00:28:43.000 Fannie Willis tried to get a restraining order on the divorced wife of her lover,
00:28:49.200 who's one of the prosecutors on Trump right now.
00:28:53.260 The circus is in town.
00:28:55.200 It's so bad.
00:28:56.100 The circus is in town.
00:28:59.300 No wonder why there were a media, and for people who don't know this,
00:29:02.260 but when she dropped this indictment, there were a lot of people in D.C.
00:29:05.220 who thought it was the wrong call.
00:29:06.660 And Jack Smith was rumored to have, you know, been pissed that she kind of jumped the shark on this thing.
00:29:11.940 You know, obviously, this was known.
00:29:14.180 You know, you really you cannot make this stuff up as if they were there.
00:29:19.660 But they're so emboldened that they felt that they would be able to get away with this without people finding out or something.
00:29:25.720 It's just insane that they're in that type or that position, that kind of level of privilege that they believed going forward with something like this.
00:29:34.480 Some novel attack against a former president and leading candidate for the presidency, and nobody was going to find this out or uncover this.
00:29:41.520 This is how the hubris of it, Jack, you know, the absolute hubris, arrogance and right.
00:29:48.300 Absolutely.
00:29:49.060 Absolutely.
00:29:49.840 It's rich.
00:29:50.440 We got about a minute left.
00:29:51.640 We haven't we haven't talked New Hampshire at all.
00:29:54.860 I kind of feel like the primary is over.
00:29:56.380 But what's your call?
00:29:58.120 I think Trump wins.
00:29:59.280 What's the margin?
00:30:00.800 Yeah, he's going to romp it.
00:30:02.360 You know, we had the UMass low poll come out this morning.
00:30:04.960 I know I'm quick.
00:30:05.460 I'm trying to be quick about this.
00:30:06.500 They were the most accurate in 2016.
00:30:08.160 However, they were tracking poll in 2016.
00:30:11.460 They have Trump up by 16 points, but it was conducted from the 6th to the 16th.
00:30:15.940 There has been very big movement since then.
00:30:18.460 With DeSantis out, Trump's getting his voters at least 60-40, judging by the two polls that I have seen.
00:30:25.300 And, you know, look, we went over this earlier today.
00:30:28.720 This will not be a McCain-like comeback.
00:30:31.240 McCain was he won Republicans in New Hampshire.
00:30:33.920 He won conservatives by one point, and he won independents.
00:30:38.180 Nikki Haley has none of that.
00:30:39.720 She's going to get blown out of the water.
00:30:42.420 Blown out.
00:30:43.540 Bird brain is about to get eaten like KFC.
00:30:47.800 Ladies and gentlemen, make sure you go follow the People's Pundit.
00:30:50.960 Make sure you follow Rich Barris.
00:30:52.520 Tony Schaefer joins us next because the world is still on fire, and we need to do something about it.
00:30:59.920 Jack.
00:31:01.900 Where's Jack?
00:31:03.920 Where is he?
00:31:05.260 Jack, I want to see you.
00:31:08.920 Great job, Jack.
00:31:10.380 Thank you.
00:31:11.140 What a job you do.
00:31:12.560 You know, we have an incredible thing.
00:31:13.960 We're always talking about the fake news and the bad, but we have guys, and these are the guys who will be getting policemen.
00:31:19.680 What can you tell us about potential injuries to American troops in Iraq, and how will the U.S. respond to this latest attack?
00:31:25.760 Well, as we understand at this early hour on Sunday morning, it's only a very small number of U.S. troops that were affected.
00:31:33.480 They're being seen for traumatic brain injuries with some symptoms of concussions, but no serious physical injuries other than that.
00:31:42.200 Not that that's not serious enough.
00:31:43.580 Of course it is.
00:31:44.700 But we understand it's a small number, and it's limited to traumatic brain injuries.
00:31:49.260 Just a few brain injuries, just a couple of Navy SEALs that apparently have been missing, killed on station, killed on mission off the coast of Somali, which really means off the coast of Yemen, by the way, in the Gulf of Aden.
00:32:04.180 And Tony Schaefer joins us next, Lieutenant Colonel.
00:32:06.140 Tony, I'm sorry, are these the people that are running our military right now?
00:32:12.240 Look, this is what you see and get when you have literally narcissists and sociopaths in charge.
00:32:19.080 I mean, I'm appalled by the language that John Kirby just exhibited there.
00:32:23.480 Yeah, what's a little traumatic brain injury between friends?
00:32:26.940 Jack, this is exhibit one of why we can't get people to sign up.
00:32:30.700 The idea of going in harm's way is not something that American members of the military fear.
00:32:36.540 They fear being sent into harm's way with no belief that they're being used properly to achieve victory.
00:32:44.720 Right now, this is a game of narratives, and the Biden administration could care less who's injured or if they're killed.
00:32:53.120 And eventually, by the way, underreported here in North Carolina where I'm at, there is an aviator who was severely wounded.
00:33:00.420 So despite what John says, real people are being injured.
00:33:03.780 It's just a matter of time before someone is reported as dead.
00:33:07.040 I believe we've already had casualties.
00:33:08.520 They're just not reporting them.
00:33:09.860 But this is the arrogance and complete disregard for the well-being of those who are in uniform right now.
00:33:20.140 They are seen as expendable to a political narrative, which, in my view, is not acceptable.
00:33:23.960 Well, that's exactly the case.
00:33:28.180 And I've got – look, I've got friends that are deployed in the region right now.
00:33:32.300 I don't want to say it more – with more details than that.
00:33:35.780 But, you know, when we're talking about this situation, now we – by the way, two Navy SEALs lost in the Gulf of Aden.
00:33:43.100 We didn't even get a tweet about that from Joe Biden.
00:33:46.760 We didn't get a statement.
00:33:47.920 We're not even really clear what the mission was there.
00:33:51.620 We don't even know if Joe Biden knows.
00:33:53.600 Lloyd Austin's got some tweets up.
00:33:55.340 I haven't seen proof of life in Lloyd Austin in all of 2024 yet.
00:34:00.140 We don't even know if Lloyd Austin is around this guy.
00:34:03.400 Tony, that being said, when I look at the strategic picture of what's going on, when you talk about the Houthis, when you talk about these Shia-backed militia groups, it seems to me like what they're doing from – and, of course, as a Navy guy, I'm always going to look at the waterways.
00:34:21.700 It looks like what the Houthis have been able to do with these relatively cheap – and this is the connection because it's all of these really cheap drones.
00:34:29.760 I keep saying they're basically lawnmowers with bombs and wings attached to them, right?
00:34:35.260 And they're firing them off across the Red Sea.
00:34:38.740 They're firing them off at our bases.
00:34:40.860 They're able to shut down our strategic lines, our strategic sea lines, very, very quickly.
00:34:47.860 And we already know they've cut down traffic from the Red Sea 50 percent in doing so.
00:34:54.400 Why is it that our military and our government can't seem to do anything to respond to this?
00:35:00.360 It's a policy choice, Jack.
00:35:02.080 They could.
00:35:02.500 They don't.
00:35:02.960 They don't because, as said by the Pentagon, one of the Pentagon spokesmen, I think it was today or yesterday, they know that the, quote-unquote, hand of Iran is behind all of us.
00:35:13.960 Well, they choose not to cut off the hand.
00:35:16.120 I mean, remember, President Trump was faced with a very similar situation of Iran trying to expand their attacks in Iraq.
00:35:23.380 So what do they do?
00:35:24.100 The moment that their leader, Soleimani, was in Iraq on Iraq's soil, he killed him.
00:35:30.480 We know for a fact that no matter how you feel about why we're there, if we are there, we are obligated to defend our troops and our equities.
00:35:40.580 The Fifth Fleet's there, as you know.
00:35:42.200 So it's the policy choice not to actually respond effectively to stop the Iranian hand from arming this.
00:35:48.260 Remember, Jack, the Houthi went from guys with AK-47s riding around in Toyota 4x4s to using fairly sophisticated and inexpensive technology that's actually, as you said, effectively cut half of the shipping in the Red Sea, which is significant because it actually impacts on Europe more than us, our allies across the board.
00:36:09.120 It depletes our ally Egypt from revenue from the Suez Canal, which the shipping goes through.
00:36:16.180 These are all things which are meant to to essentially undermine our allies and give the Iranians carte blanche to continue to expand their influence and attack our forces across the board in the Middle East.
00:36:27.740 Right. And so we can see that this is very clear.
00:36:33.000 Now, I do also at the same time, I do also have seen that the Saudis have come forward because what we and you and I have talked about this a lot and looking at the strategic picture of this area.
00:36:43.840 But it's always been sort of the, you know, the Arabs versus the the Iranians, the Persians, which side is going to come out on top.
00:36:52.680 And it seems as though the Iranians with the Houthis are pushing very, very hard.
00:36:57.460 But now the now the Saudis are coming back because the Saudis have floated and MBS really have floated a peace deal with Israel.
00:37:05.340 Have you been able to look at that very much?
00:37:06.640 Right. Well, the peace deal is, I think, credible in that I think the Saudis are actually much closer to align with the Israelis than they acknowledge because they were moving forward with the Abraham Accords.
00:37:18.060 Yes. If not for the 7th of October, Jack, I think we would have seen a formal agreement signed by the Saudis and the Israelis.
00:37:23.840 So I think it's a positive step. With that said, the fundamental difference that we're in the middle of again, it's like the song.
00:37:29.460 We didn't start the fire, the Billy Joel song. The issue regarding Saudi and Iran goes back not not so much regionally, but religiously.
00:37:38.100 The Shia and Sunni. The Sunni are the Arabs, the Arabs into the larger faction of Islam in the region.
00:37:44.940 And the Persians are the Shia. That that basis, that that disagreement, that religious foundational disagreement goes back a thousand years, a thousand plus years.
00:37:55.180 So the fact is this. You have a theocracy in Iran who has decided that they are the chosen brand of Islam and they're going to continue to prosecute their beliefs via action.
00:38:05.740 That action is through terrorism and expansion of influence. That's what they're going to do.
00:38:10.200 We knew that we know this. This is this is what they do. The Saudis have been aligned with us.
00:38:14.660 I'm not judging it. I'm saying the Saudis have been our chosen ally. The Arabs have been our chosen ally.
00:38:19.460 And the fact is this. The Biden administration has shown disregard for the Saudis ability to fight the Houthi.
00:38:25.920 They were actually fighting the Houthi under the Trump administration, effectively so, I might add.
00:38:29.960 And it was the Biden administration who basically defunded the Saudi effort to to bring stability to Iraq, to to to to to to Yemen.
00:38:38.060 Remember this. Regarding that point, the legitimate government of of Yemen was shut out, was thrown out by the Houthi.
00:38:46.420 The United Nations actually said the Saudis had a charter to restore the government, but they haven't.
00:38:52.660 And nobody talks about this because the Biden administration's put a wet blanket on everything that benefits our allies and will hide the fact that the Iranians are trying to do everything they can to essentially up in what we've had.
00:39:06.180 But regarding the Abraham Accords and working in the Middle East to bring stability.
00:39:12.200 So the key then, I think, for them is it is going to be when we know the Saudis have said this all in all, that they they want Palestinian statehood.
00:39:23.140 Now, Israel, I have to imagine that's going to be a hard line for them.
00:39:26.200 But I did see a poll out of Haritz dot com.
00:39:29.420 This is very interesting, though.
00:39:30.500 A poll out of Haritz dot com did say a majority of Israelis would support some kind of demilitarized Palestinian state in Gaza.
00:39:39.040 Of course, the the ins and outs of how such a thing would would occur.
00:39:42.500 I'm not really sure how that would happen.
00:39:44.540 But it was interesting to me that at least get to the point where I said, look, we were OK with the two state solution as long as that state perhaps maybe it would be administered by the Saudis, something like that.
00:39:57.060 So, Jack, the sad truth is since Arafat and I think it was Begin signed the agreement on the White House lawn with Carter, they've had a two state solution.
00:40:07.760 The Palestinians have chosen to not accept that the Israelis, I think, were quite gracious and willing to allow a second state to exist that de facto existed.
00:40:17.580 That's why you have the East Bank and then the Gaza Strip.
00:40:20.940 They actually exist autonomously.
00:40:23.180 So I think had things been demilitarized, had things continue to see a thriving society run by essentially those in charge of the Palestinian areas, you would have two states.
00:40:35.940 Nobody would stop that.
00:40:37.080 The issue is militarization and radicalization.
00:40:40.380 That is the issue.
00:40:41.480 So I think as much as the Biden administration continues to offer up this demand that they have a two state solution, the Israelis cannot afford that.
00:40:49.280 Again, I'd like to try to be as objective as I can.
00:40:52.300 But simply put, we would never stand for West Virginia attacking Virginia constantly in our backyard if we were left with the idea of enforcing something that allowed our citizens to be attacked.
00:41:03.780 I think you're right.
00:41:04.680 I couldn't agree more.
00:41:05.780 Tony Schaefer, coming back with more after this, Human Events Daily.
00:41:08.900 I'm always listening to Human Events with Jack Posobiec.
00:41:15.720 All right, Jack, so we're back live, Human Events Daily, Washington, D.C.
00:41:20.660 We're with Tony Schaefer.
00:41:22.120 So, Tony, getting back to this, the idea of a peace deal.
00:41:26.140 So let's say this is something that Trump was obviously working on before he got out of office.
00:41:31.820 Something that the Biden administration is completely blown apart by.
00:41:37.800 One of the first things they did was completely destabilize the region.
00:41:40.760 They took the Houthis off the terror list.
00:41:43.740 Then they were working to get Iran all, you know, tens of billions of dollars that they unfroze.
00:41:51.660 Iran's used that money.
00:41:52.820 We've seen now backfilling a lot of these groups.
00:41:56.320 And, of course, we weren't tracking it because we hadn't declared we weren't as many of them terrorists anymore.
00:42:01.780 So now the question is, do you think there's any prospect, I hate to say this, but do you think that there's a prospect that the Saudi peace deal can even get off the ground without Trump back in office?
00:42:14.720 No, I don't think so.
00:42:16.340 So let me break this down a little bit.
00:42:18.760 Look, I have to say this.
00:42:20.320 I think you're pretty.
00:42:21.000 I am not a neocon.
00:42:22.020 I am not for leading with military action first and asking questions later.
00:42:26.060 I'm not for the Bolton solution of going and bombing Iran.
00:42:28.960 With that said, we have to be good neighbors.
00:42:31.820 The Israelis are our allies, and I think we need to do things that will help benefit the long-term stability of the region.
00:42:38.580 Is there some way to circle the square regarding a Palestinian state at this point?
00:42:43.000 No, because unless you check those outside forces that allow for the most radical elements of the Palestinian people to arm up and attack the Israelis, there's no—you can't go in that direction.
00:42:54.860 So I agree with the Israelis at this point.
00:42:57.080 There's no way you can get there from here.
00:42:59.140 With that said, I think there are larger regional partners like the Saudis who can be very helpful, who want to be helpful.
00:43:05.460 And look, there's a hint here, Jack.
00:43:07.120 None of those Arab nations were willing to entertain taking any of the Palestinians in after the 7th of October, because that was one of the things the Biden administration wanted to consider.
00:43:15.320 They understand, like we do, the Palestinian people are radicalized, and until you deal with that directly, there's no two-state deal that's possible.
00:43:23.960 And again, if a fundamental issue is one state refuses to accept the existence of the other, which is what the Palestinians refuse to do, there's no way to have two states.
00:43:34.040 They're always going to be out to destroy you.
00:43:36.200 So that's got to be the predicate that everything is based on, removing the idea that the Palestinians have the right to kill the Israelis, period.
00:43:44.820 So that's where I think the policy should be focused on, is how do we do that?
00:43:49.220 And again, our regional allies are better suited to do that than us.
00:43:52.520 Joe Dunford, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, during the Trump administration, did something called by, with, and through.
00:43:57.680 We worked effectively with our allies, minimizing our exposure directly to hostile fire, that is, American soldiers, and working with our regional partners.
00:44:06.100 That's the way to go.
00:44:06.940 That's the way that the Biden administration should go, but they are not.
00:44:10.180 They're doing everything they can to benefit the Iranians, for whatever reason, as you said, refunding their effort.
00:44:17.420 Not only did they give them money back, they've actually taken sanctions off, allowing them to sell oil to the Chinese and others at great profit.
00:44:24.880 So we have to get back to basics here.
00:44:27.840 The Trump folks were doing it in the right way, working with partners, trying to create a neighborhood that would self-exist that we didn't have to be in the center of.
00:44:36.500 And that effort to establish an effective neighborhood that everybody gets along in is not going to happen until Biden is out of office.
00:44:45.900 All right.
00:44:46.640 And so what you're hearing from MBS now, there's this big call for a ceasefire.
00:44:51.660 We do know, of course, that Israel has started to redeploy some of their troops out of Gaza, and they're putting them up into northern Israel because they're worried about flare-ups.
00:45:01.140 That border extremely tense with Hezbollah right now.
00:45:05.300 And, of course, any operations, and, Tony, you and I have had that conversation before, those operations within Gaza, this is just some of the most densely populated urban warfare terrain on the entire planet in Gaza City.
00:45:19.240 And so the idea that you're just going to send troops in there like you would in any other city, I mean, you're going to have with, as you say, the entire populace hostile, the entire populace against you.
00:45:30.400 Look, this is why you're seeing Israel conduct these bombing runs because they know that to send troops in there is an absolute hornet's nest, and they would basically – you would be seeing just massive, massive attrition.
00:45:41.960 And so that's why you're then getting – look, they're able to blockade.
00:45:45.660 They're able to bomb.
00:45:46.420 But at the same time, they've got to worry about their borders, and Israel's military is not exactly as extensive as the United States military.
00:45:53.520 That being said, we've got our own invasion to worry about when we talk about our borders.
00:45:58.220 Yeah, so I like the way you bring it.
00:46:01.600 Yeah, what do you think the NEP steps are, though, for this Gaza situation?
00:46:06.640 Do you think Israel will be willing to talk about something like that?
00:46:09.120 And do you think the Saudis then – because it seems to me like what the Saudis are doing are offering them some leverage to say, look, we'll come in here and we'll make a play with the Palestinians.
00:46:20.860 I think the Saudis are sincere, and I think it's a good move.
00:46:25.240 Again, I think that we would have seen normalization of relationships with the Saudis and Israelis a long time ago if not for Iran and the Biden administration's stupidity.
00:46:33.060 So I'm not against it.
00:46:34.680 I think, as always, the devil's in the details.
00:46:37.140 How do you do this without extending the Saudis' exposure to potential attacks?
00:46:42.500 Remember, the Houthi is an Iranian proxies after them, and the Houthi are the ones trying to justify their actions in the Red Sea because of Gaza.
00:46:50.560 So it's all related.
00:46:52.200 So I think it's something that, again, we should work with our regional allies to find a solution.
00:46:56.400 It should not be us.
00:46:57.300 It should not be us.
00:46:58.040 We should be helpful and help others find – those who live there find a path to stability.
00:47:03.880 So at this point, I don't see the Israelis being able to do anything more than take and hold terrain and do what's necessary to secure the Gaza Strip and then obviously protect their northern border.
00:47:14.560 By the way, they've been doing what Trump did.
00:47:16.120 They actually took out several Iranian leaders.
00:47:19.480 They took out a leader from the IRGC recently.
00:47:23.740 They took out a leader of Hamas who was hanging out in Lebanon.
00:47:28.080 These are the things which I think will get the Iranians' attention to back them off and buy some time.
00:47:33.200 But I think the Saudis should be given a chance to work with the Israelis on this.
00:47:37.900 Well, I would certainly hope that we could get to some situation like that.
00:47:44.040 And by the way, if the Saudis can broker a peace deal between Israel and Gaza, then wouldn't it be nice if we could see some peace deals between Ukraine and Russia before that thing goes sideways?
00:47:55.140 I agree.
00:47:55.340 Because we know at this point that, you know, and we'll have to get you on later in the week or maybe next to talk about this because it seems like it really looks to me like if you look at some of the things that happened in Avdika over the last weekend, that the Ukrainian lines look like they're in absolute danger of collapse.
00:48:14.020 Oh, they are. And Jack, think about this. Think about how the Biden administration is pushing for a ceasefire and negotiation with the Israelis, but they're not doing that with the Russians and Ukrainians.
00:48:24.720 No, of course not. Of course not.
00:48:27.520 Tony Schaefer, just last few minutes of the show, where can people follow you? Where can they get all your updates?
00:48:33.880 He's spooky on Twitter. We follow each other. Just tweeted you and then or X, whatever they call it, and then ProjectSentinel.net or .com.
00:48:41.700 So always a pleasure, Jack. Thanks for having me.
00:48:44.020 Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer. And by the way, shout out to the X chat. Shout out to the Rumble chats. See you guys all in there. Producer Foz rocking around. Put your questions, comments in. We will get them back to you. Ladies and gentlemen, as always, you have my permission.
