What happens when the Fourth Turning meets 5th Generation Warfare? A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran, Jack Posobiec, joins host Jack to discuss the latest news and notes from the past 24 hours.
00:01:02.480Genesee Moreno walked in with her seven-year-old son and pointed a gun at an unarmed security guard.
00:01:09.140Police say two off-duty officers working security shot and killed her.
00:01:13.200Moreno's seven-year-old son was shot in the head.
00:01:15.400She has utilized both male and female names.
00:01:18.500But through all of our investigation to this point, talking with individuals, interviews, documents, Houston Police Department reports, she has identified this entire time as female.
00:01:39.000What I realized is there's so much prejudice against refugees, mostly because people don't know them.
00:01:43.860Lisa says she feels like she has her own personal chef, as Wildonde loves cooking.
00:01:48.580In Georgia, Fulton County judge must decide whether Fannie Willis, Nathan Wade, and a host of others must testify at a hearing on Thursday.
00:01:57.960Because DA Fannie Willis admitted to having a personal relationship with prosecutor Nathan Wade, while also hiring him to help her prosecute Trump for election interference.
00:02:08.640Today, Donald Trump did go to the Supreme Court, but he asked them to overrule that part of the appeals court ruling where they were trying to get him to speed up the process.
00:02:20.240He argued in his filing with the court tonight that this court should stay this unprecedented and unacceptable departure from ordinary appellate procedures and allow President Trump's claim of immunity to be decided in the ordinary course of justice.
00:02:35.560Former President Trump is pushing for three loyalists to head the Republican National Committee and replace Ronna McDaniel, who's faced a lot of pressure to step down.
00:02:44.360Mr. Trump is endorsing a top ally as party chairman, his daughter-in-law, Laura Trump, as co-chair, and he would also make a senior campaign advisor into the party's chief operating officer.
00:02:55.100All right, ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily, live from Washington, D.C.
00:03:00.740Today is February 13th, 2024, Anno Domini.
00:03:05.320It is Fat Tuesday, Mardi Gras, Ponchki Day.
00:03:08.600So if you guys are partaking out there, you really need to.
00:03:12.040By the way, I've already decided what it is that I will be giving up for Lent, but I am not revealing it until tomorrow.
00:03:37.640Number one, the new governing coalition.
00:03:40.320I think I'm going to call it the new rolling coalition.
00:03:42.280The new ruling coalition in Washington, D.C. just decided to take $94 billion from you, from your families, from your businesses, from your churches, and sent it overseas.
00:03:57.280Not a single cent, not one red cent for the people of this country.
00:04:03.140Moderate Republicans decided to completely abandon, completely abandon the people they represent, the people who sent them there, throw in with Democrats, the liberals of the liberals in many cases.
00:04:20.300And they decided that they were going to put the interests of the uniparty ahead of the interests of the people, ahead of the interests of our country.
00:04:29.460And more to the point, people saying, well, how is this?
00:04:32.160Don't worry, we've got, you know, we got Johnson down there in the House.
00:04:39.280The Senate could enact a discharge petition and force a floor vote of the House, essentially going around, circumventing the speaker, forcing the vote, and then guess what?
00:04:57.340The new ruling coalition does it again.
00:04:59.500Moderate Republicans work with liberal Democrats to get it passed.
00:05:03.780What you're really seeing right now, what you're really seeing are the lines being drawn.
00:05:07.580This is the uniparty versus the populist.
00:05:10.440And it ain't all left versus right either.
00:05:12.780You know, Bernie Sanders actually voted against this thing.
00:05:15.840They didn't force old Bernie to vote for it.
00:05:18.240They said, ah, we got the votes, Bernie.
00:06:00.860Once you understand that our Senate has been bought off by foreign powers, you will understand the way the U.S. government truly works.
00:06:11.520A guy who understands that indelibly, Stephen Miller, who is his name.
00:06:17.980Ladies and gentlemen, one of the best ways that you can support us here at Human Events and the work that we do is subscribing to us on our Rumble channel.
00:08:17.640I look forward to this interview enormously.
00:08:20.560Well, so you must be a huge fan of the bill that came out of the Senate last night.
00:08:25.980Popping champagne four in the morning is what my sources tell me that you were doing around there.
00:08:32.060Just looking at the $95 billion that will be sent overseas.
00:08:36.620And the fact that we have Republican leadership, and it's so smart of them, working with the Democrats, cutting out their own voters, and not a single cent sent for our own border.
00:08:47.420I mean, I can't find anything wrong with this bill.
00:08:49.700It really is one of the most astonishing examples of Washington betraying the American people that has surely occurred in the whole history of this country.
00:09:02.000It would have been so foreign and unthinkable to our founders that they would be unable to even process such a monstrosity.
00:09:14.380I mean, $100 billion is larger than the GDP of most countries around the world, or at least many countries, I should say, around the world.
00:09:25.740And you also have to look at the fact that we are over $30 trillion in debt.
00:09:31.400So we're borrowing money not for the purpose of protecting our own citizens, protecting our own country, protecting our own future.
00:09:38.100We're borrowing money for the purpose of financing particularly – it's not all the money, but particularly financing a foreign war in Ukraine that could have been prevented before it even started with a peace settlement and could be ended tomorrow with a peace settlement.
00:09:53.540And so this isn't even a case in which you're using the money, in theory, to save lives.
00:09:59.100You're using the money to extend the suffering, to extend the misery, to extend the conflict.
00:10:07.080So that hundreds of thousands of people can die and then we'll have a settlement that's much the same a year from now, two years from now, five years from now?
00:10:15.620And then at the same time, of course, nothing, nothing for the invasion that's happening on our own southern border.
00:10:21.080It just goes to show you that people say that Washington doesn't work or Washington is broken, all these other lazy cliches.
00:10:28.200Washington does work and Washington is not broken.
00:10:31.740And in fact, it functions quite well when it is trying to do something that it actually cares to do.
00:10:37.240So when senators want to have a foreign war in Ukraine and they want to fund that foreign war in Ukraine, then with astonishing speed, efficiency, purpose, focus, a sense of mission, clarity, they can get done exactly what they aim and resolve to get done.
00:10:56.860But when it comes to, say, stopping an invasion of our southern border, suddenly they're all now overnight transformed into fools and incompetence.
00:11:05.320These same people that are masterful in the turn of a hat at being able to get all this money shoveled over to Ukraine.
00:11:15.080Now, when it comes to securing our own border, they can't even think of anything that could ever possibly work.
00:11:20.940And instead, they come up with a bill whose most important signature provision would allow Secretary Mayorkas to convert new illegal aliens into citizens.
00:11:30.860It's something that Marco Rubio talked about in his interview with Jake Tapper, and I give him great credit for doing so.
00:11:35.620But the Senator Murphy bill included in it that provision, which I believe was the whole purpose of the bill.
00:11:42.300In other words, everything else was just window dressing, right?
00:11:45.640Everything else was just a Trojan horse, and then the actual soldier ensconced within that Trojan horse was this provision.
00:11:54.060And it says that Mayorkas now, through his own bureaucracy within DHS, can give fast-track approval for asylum to newly arriving illegal aliens.
00:12:03.140Now, what does that actually mean? Because people use the term asylum a lot.
00:12:06.340I don't think everybody knows what it means necessarily.
00:12:08.660Asylum means that you are automatically a permanent resident of the United States.
00:12:13.780It means you have unlimited access to federal welfare, something that is not even available to people here on various kinds of temporary visas and other immigration benefits.
00:12:24.440That you get a green card within a year, and then you're a citizen four years after that.
00:12:28.880So it's a five-year path of citizenship.
00:12:30.520To put that into perspective, a lot of the amnesty bills that have been introduced in the past, as you know, offered sometimes, or claimed to offer at least, a 10-year path of citizenship.
00:12:40.220This would be a five-year path of citizenship for newly arriving illegal aliens if they pass whatever amorphous test Mayorkas himself comes up with.
00:12:48.220So that was the only immigration bill that was on the table.
00:12:52.040And they said, if you don't accept that, then we'll just pass all this Ukraine money anyway.
00:12:55.540So it really is, as I mentioned earlier, one of the great betrayals in all of American history.
00:13:00.380And the tragedy is that not only will it mean that our border invasion continues undisturbed, but it also means a lot more innocent people are going to die in Ukraine and for no constructive purpose whatsoever.
00:13:09.860So here's the question then, because when people are looking at this, and I do think there's some head scratching out there from folks, particularly in our audience and others, saying,
00:13:20.960we ask so much of the government, when President Trump was in office, we were told again and again, the wall was too expensive, we can't possibly get funding for the wall.
00:13:32.600He tried to declare an emergency to get military funding taken over.
00:13:38.280These are the same names that we remember from all of that timeframe, 2017, 2019, that couldn't possibly find money to secure our border and to build President Trump's wall.
00:13:50.240And yet at the same time, they're willing to work, as you say, throughout the night with rapid speed in order to get $100 billion for the benefit of foreigners.
00:14:01.240And again, it's not to weigh the moral benefits of any of these issues.
00:14:06.880But the question is, what is the prioritization?
00:14:10.140Why is it that we can always seem to find money for these things, and yet we can't find that same money for ourselves?
00:14:17.100Yeah, well, to put that number in some kind of helpful context, the entire deportation budget of ICE is around $4 billion.
00:14:27.480So if you just take the Ukraine portion alone, which is about $60 billion, that's 15 times the amount of money annually appropriated to ICE to carry out deportations.
00:14:37.480I mean, do you have any idea how many illegal aliens we could deport if we wanted to with a single infusion of $60 billion?
00:14:44.600It means you already have, right, the systems in place, so you'd be able to plow all that money into personnel and then soft-sided facilities to get people out of the country.
00:14:56.840So for $60 billion, I mean, can you imagine how many aliens you could deport from this country?
00:15:07.900And yet, to even say it would be unthinkable in today's Washington.
00:15:12.040In other words, if you said, okay, new project, Washington, do this exact same exercise, work around the clock, break through every barrier, every obstacle, every complaint, every objection.
00:15:22.660But here's what we're going to do instead.
00:15:24.460You're just going to spend $60 billion, and the money can only be used and must be used for no other purpose than deporting illegal aliens, right?
00:15:32.560None of this BS about comprehensive anything, none of these nonsense provisions that are just tricks for illegal aliens to get into the country, none of these giveaways to immigration lawyers and foreign corporations and special interests.
00:15:44.700Just $60 billion, and all you can use it for is deporting people.
00:15:47.600And, in fact, you must use it for deporting people, right?
00:15:50.140That's as common a sense of things as you can imagine.
00:15:52.420But if I were to say to you, what are the odds you could get that bill for the Senate?
00:15:56.560I mean, the answer would be right now would be zero minus infinity would be the odds.
00:16:00.180It tells you something about how sick and decayed our political culture is and our social culture is in this country.
00:16:05.740That if I said to you, what are the chances of getting $60 billion to fund a war in Ukraine that we could have prevented with simple peace negotiations, you would say, much likely or not, that could happen.
00:16:18.020In fact, it happened multiple times a year if you wanted to and happened every year.
00:16:21.220And if I said to you, what if you gave the same amount of money and it's just used for ICE officers to deport people, you said that's basically a political impossibility.
00:16:27.700And the fact that you would know that intuitively would tell you everything you need to understand about what is so perverted about the incentive structures in our system, about the push and pull factors on lawmakers in Washington.
00:16:48.240Everything is pushing them. Everything is incentivizing them to fund these foreign wars and everything is pushing them away from taking care of Americans and protecting American cities and communities to the point where the invasion is rapidly being normalized.
00:17:03.520And you see lawmakers who even claim to care about border security who are now basically saying, yeah, it's too bad there's not any border security in the bill, but I have no choice but to fund this foreign war.
00:17:12.240Even if you supported the war in Ukraine, even if you did, you have all the leverage in the world in this moment because the Biden administration wants this money desperately.
00:17:22.120Chuck Schumer wants this money desperately. You have all the leverage in the world to stand your ground and to say, I mean, there's so many ways you could do this, Jack.
00:17:32.160I could give you a thousand different ways, but I mean, one simple way would be to just have a deportation target.
00:17:36.240Just say, you're not going to get any money until you first deport, say, 500,000 legal aliens.
00:17:42.600And if you do that, we'll give you a second tranche of funds, but you have to then have deported the net total of a million legal aliens.
00:17:48.360Then you'll get the first tranche, second tranche, 1.5 million.
00:20:34.300Of course, there was a huge piece in Atlantic Magazine all about some of these wild and crazy plans for deportation that are being discussed.
00:20:51.260Number one is that we need House Republicans now to start taking this message and being very clear that there's not even going to be a conversation about foreign aid until there's deportations.
00:21:01.240That cuts through all the fog, all the nonsense, all the BS, all the lies, distortions, and deceptions.
00:21:41.400America endured the Great Depression together.
00:21:43.280America has built some of the greatest architectural wonders, some of the greatest engineering feats in human history.
00:21:48.460We can remove several million foreign trespassers from our midst, and that is exactly what we will do, Jack.
00:21:58.000Well, I mean, some of the – and by the way, this is when President Trump was previously in office, the use of things like E-Verify,
00:22:05.540the use of things like basically strengthening these checks on allowing people to just simply live comfortably in the country really does begin the process of self-deportation in many simple ways that don't even require ICE to get involved in so many instances.
00:22:20.600Let me tell you about one of my favorite Trump initiatives, which, again, is the kind of thing if conservatives and Republicans actually cared to learn about immigration policy,
00:22:30.840they would know the power of these kinds of things, and they'd be focused on funding and financing these initiatives.
00:22:34.980So there's a law on the books never used – and by the way, it's a long list of laws on the books that were never used until Trump came along, a long list.
00:22:43.220One of them says that – and this is adjusted for inflation actually – but it's about $700 a day that you must pay the government every single day you fail to leave
00:22:53.480after you've been ordered deported by an immigration judge.
00:22:56.640So, again, our system says if you've gone through this whole ridiculous process that none of us supports anyways,
00:23:02.860you know, during the Clinton administration or the Bush administration or the Obama administration,
00:23:06.420and you've been ordered or removed by a judge and you're still here,
00:23:08.680it's about a $700 a day penalty if you didn't go home as you were ordered to do.
00:23:16.520So guess what? President Trump was the first president in history – this law had been on the books for decades –
00:23:23.340that began sending notices to illegal aliens and say, guess what?
00:23:26.460You are in debt $1.5 million to the U.S. government.
00:23:30.140And the only way to avoid paying your fine is to get out of the country now immediately to leave.
00:23:35.260And even then, we would still do everything we could to collect the fine on your way out.
00:23:38.220But you can immediately begin getting people to go home by using the Treasury Department to go after illegal aliens
00:23:47.240who have not left and who owe the government collectively millions and millions and millions of dollars.
00:24:06.600Even if Joe Biden didn't let in one more illegal alien, they've already succeeded in that goal.
00:24:12.400There's more than 10 million they've already gotten into our country.
00:24:14.660It is therefore existential to remove them.
00:24:18.260Between those 10 million people, how many children are they going to have?
00:24:21.640That under a Democrat administration would be declared automatic U.S. citizens entitled to chain migration, welfare benefits, free health care, free everything.
00:24:30.880This would be the end of the American republic unless we demonstrate it.
00:24:36.140Because if we don't have it, Jack, then we're screwed anyways.
00:24:38.160I can think who does have it is President Trump, unless we have the will, the backbone, the fortitude, like our ancestors, to do what has to be done in the time in which we live.
00:24:50.900I, for one, am tired and exhausted of hearing about all the great deeds of generations before us, the legends who walked the earth before us.
00:25:01.500And then we see ourselves incapable of doing nothing else but just sitting around and complaining about things.
00:25:07.520If we get control of this government, we are going to save this country.
00:25:12.240We are going to restore the American nation for American citizens.
00:25:16.380And we are going to build a magnificent future and dream big things and do amazing things and reach for legend status for this country again.
00:25:24.180So that someday our children and their children and their grandchildren and their grandchildren and their grandchildren's grandchildren will talk about the great and historic things we did.
00:25:31.480And they'll wish that they were as tough and as strong and as committed and as resolved as we are.
00:25:38.620Stop thinking about the legends who came before you and start deciding to be a legend in your own time.
00:25:47.000And to your point, though, this is why the left has spent spends all their time destroying those legends, taking away those legends, creating their own legends.
00:25:56.320And when they have someone who poses a threat to that, like a Donald J.
00:26:01.600Trump, who comes along and says, I want to write my own legend.
00:26:05.820I want to stand up for the American people.
00:26:08.440What do they do now that we've got charges in Washington, D.C.?
00:26:12.360We've got charges all the way down in Florida at Mar-a-Lago for possession of his own documents tomorrow that he we are told or tomorrow or Thursday, I believe he has to attend a hearing in the New York case with Alvin Bragg, which is a case that hasn't been much in the lexicon lately.
00:26:33.140Why is it that the Democrats are so, so willing to use government power against a political opponent in such ways?
00:26:39.540Well, let me pick up on one thing you said that's so important.
00:26:43.220That's exactly why they're trying to cut off access to our history, because in understanding the great deeds that were done before us, you can then be a man in your own time and know that you can do great things, too.
00:26:53.700See, it's the connection to that history, to that past, to understanding that the people who built those incredible structures, who welded the times in which they live with their own two hands, and understand that you realize that we can be part of something great and historic, too.
00:27:09.540You cut off that past to deny people their present and to deny them their future.
00:27:13.860Now, with respect to your question, we are living in the era of lawfare, in the age of lawfare.
00:27:19.800It is a uniquely American form of fascism.
00:27:24.800Now, I'm not saying, of course, lawfare has been waged in many countries, but what we are witnessing right now is the American version of fascism, right?
00:27:32.460The fusion of the deep state, radical left law firms, the corporations that fund those law firms, the law schools that train those lawyers, the nonprofits that develop and pass on the legal plans, the pseudo left-wing scholars who write these roadmaps.
00:27:50.200This entire machinery, orchestrated, of course, from the very top at 1600 Penn, is decided to supplant and replace American democracy, to establish a new system of rule by lawfare.
00:28:04.560If you cross the powers that be, the ruling class, the establishment, the regime, whatever you want to call it, you can be debanked, you can be blacklisted, banished, and yes, you can be and will be imprisoned.
00:28:18.000The fact that the reason they put that meemer, that I know you've talked about so much, Jack, in prison, it was not just to put him in prison.
00:28:25.280It was intended as a demonstration of the raw power to say two things, that our prosecutors and our courts are so corrupt they will throw someone in jail for a meme,
00:28:37.800and that our jury polls are so conditioned that they will jail anyone we tell them to, and they will go and they will live in the hell that we will put them in.
00:28:48.600Because I can assure you, prison, for an innocent person with no criminal history, with no criminal background, and just putting someone like that into prison, is indeed the seventh circle of hell.
00:29:00.140With respect to what they're trying to do to President Trump, it's in plain sight.
00:29:05.540It is the attempt to rig the election, it is an attempt to believe, to say, to hope, that if Donald Trump is convicted of a fake crime before the election, that it will be enough to change the outcome of that election.
00:29:19.460That is the plan, that is the strategy.
00:29:21.880We've seen how Biden, in fact, has been grousing, that they aren't on the timetable fast enough, as fast as he wants, to get that conviction.
00:29:31.020And so this is truly a terrifying moment.
00:29:33.320And what I would say to conservatives, to Republicans, to anyone who cares about the rule of law in this country,
00:29:40.480it is not enough to just say that we will fight their extremism with our objectivity.
00:29:47.400Because objectivity in that context is really meant as surrender.
00:29:51.020Objectivity can mean different things to different people.
00:29:54.420You and I are objective about facts, about truth, about history, about science, about all of that.
00:30:00.160But when objectivity is used by the weak Republicans, by the weak conservatives, what they're really saying is, it's actually a form of conservative equity.
00:30:09.400What they're really saying is, we will ensure equal outcomes.
00:30:12.460We will ensure that no more of their people go to jail than 50% of the time if there is a trial.
00:30:17.560That if they go on trial, that they'll have a very good chance of getting off.
00:30:21.880It's saying that we're not going to investigate one more Democrat than Republicans.
00:30:26.340Even if more Democrats are guilty, we will investigate an equal number of Democrats than Republicans.
