A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran.
00:00:46.880
This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.
00:00:54.860
One week from today, next Tuesday, 4 p.m. Eastern, On The Dot.
00:00:59.980
Chief Justice John Roberts gave special counsel Jack Smith today to respond to Donald Trump's
00:01:11.380
The Republican senators who stepped up to support America, to support America's allies,
00:01:23.720
Obviously, there have been a lot of Republicans, Willie, who have done Vladimir Putin's bidding.
00:01:30.460
Very grateful for those Republicans who stood up.
00:01:34.880
I mean, it's clear Donald Trump is the Speaker of the House.
00:01:37.620
Some members, by the way, nominated him to be Speaker of the House.
00:01:43.220
Yesterday, the Senate took important action to advance America's core national security
00:01:48.480
interests by overwhelmingly passing the National Security Supplemental Agreement.
00:01:53.380
This bipartisan legislation will allow the United States to continue to support the people
00:01:58.220
of Ukraine alongside our allies and partners as they fight every single day to defend their
00:02:04.900
The Republican-led House will not be jammed or forced into passing a foreign aid bill that
00:02:09.960
was opposed by most Republican senators and does nothing to secure our own border.
00:02:16.540
The suspects in that attack on two city comps in Times Square.
00:02:19.560
Police now say 19-year-old Darwin Andres Gomez-Izuquiel has been arrested in a separate incident.
00:02:25.940
Turns out he was arrested for a robbery yesterday.
00:02:28.360
NBC News is projecting that Tom Swasey has won.
00:02:32.740
Whichever way you look at it, a Democrat's replacing me.
00:02:37.080
Well, for the first time in U.S. history, a sitting cabinet secretary has been impeached
00:02:42.120
Alejandro Mayorkas, the Secretary of Homeland Security, now faces the prospect of a trial
00:02:50.260
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily, live from Washington,
00:02:55.260
Today is February 14th, and no, Dominique 2024.
00:03:00.360
And yes, of course, today is also Ash Wednesday.
00:03:05.980
The House Intel Committee, Mike Turner, the head of this, saying that he's calling for
00:03:12.140
the White House to declassify intelligence regarding a Russian military capability, a Russian military
00:03:25.200
Putin, in his interview with Tucker the other day, specifically came out and said that Russia
00:03:31.600
was developing hypersonic missiles to defeat U.S. air defense.
00:03:34.740
We also know that Russia has been using, and I've talked about this for months, if not years
00:03:41.940
at this point on this program, talking about how Russia and Iran are using these new kamikaze
00:03:51.100
However, there's an interesting timing on all of this, isn't there?
00:03:54.840
You got this guy, Mike Turner, this House Intel chair, a guy who's been nominally pro-Trump,
00:04:00.920
but if I remember correctly, at the Helsinki summit just after it, which I attended, by
00:04:06.320
the way, with Tucker, there in Helsinki, Finland, when President Trump met with President Putin,
00:04:13.120
that Mike Turner blasted President Trump after the Helsinki summit with President Putin, looking
00:04:19.740
to at least reach some kind of peace agreement with or normalize some kind of relations with the Russian
00:04:30.540
We also know that Mike Turner is a guy who is completely in bed with so and takes a lot
00:04:38.820
So, takes a lot of donations, and this is just a fact, from the defense industry.
00:04:44.780
He's out of the Wright-Patterson area, Air Force Base, and we also know that Mike Turner
00:04:50.380
has been a guy who's extremely pro-Ukraine spending.
00:04:56.080
So, walk through the timing of this, and I just like to walk through the timing of this very quickly.
00:05:02.760
Then, there's this massive Senate spending bill.
00:05:05.360
We know that Johnson says that he doesn't want to bring the spending bill up.
00:05:09.680
He says it's DOA in the House, and we're not sure if this discharge petition is going
00:05:15.420
So, all of a sudden, out of nowhere, we get a question about a national security threat,
00:05:22.080
which makes it sound like there's about to be some kind of attack that's going to take
00:05:26.340
By the way, if there's an attack that's going to take place, then shouldn't the national
00:05:29.400
security community, I don't know, actually go and prevent the attack from taking place?
00:05:36.360
Shut down illegals coming in through our airlines?
00:05:41.160
Does anyone vet the illegals before we let them on these airplanes traveling around inside
00:05:46.020
Could that be a potential vector for a national security threat?
00:05:49.480
And yet, you tell us to shut up when this happens, even though we are impeaching the
00:05:52.940
Orcas, which is good, and we're going to talk to Mike Davis later.
00:05:57.160
I don't know if that'll go through the Senate, but we'll see.
00:06:01.260
If this is just a capability that Russia has, are there indications that Russia is about
00:06:08.660
Please let us know, because the timing of this and the person who's giving this out is
00:06:31.700
You hit the notifications so you'll never miss a clip.
00:06:37.180
And we're putting them out every single day of the week.
00:06:44.420
You can't be listening to all that slappy whack, trim out his alitzabam ship, nippy
00:06:51.840
I'm convinced that the American church has arrived at a significant moment of truth.
00:07:04.340
We are only 75, 80 years removed from three separate regimes that killed 60 to 70 million
00:07:11.660
The parallels with where the American church is now to where the German church stood in
00:07:19.320
the face of the Nazi regime are unavoidable and grim.
00:07:32.320
Churches need understand really what Marxism is, which is to destroy the church, to destroy
00:07:37.320
So if you capture the seminaries, you capture the pastors, you capture the laity, you capture
00:07:44.980
Christianity is not just about saying Jesus loves you and then going to heaven one day,
00:07:54.020
The church is weakening, which is why Marxism is ascendant in America today.
00:08:11.360
Absolutely incredible new film that has just come out, letter to the American church.
00:08:21.800
We've got Eric Metaxas, the filmmaker on with us today.
00:08:28.060
We're here, you know, for, for us on the Catholic side, it's, it's Ash Wednesday.
00:08:32.520
A perfect day, I think, to remind the American church about what our duties, our responsibilities
00:08:41.040
to the world are, and the fact that, quite frankly, we have not been living up to them.
00:08:46.860
Tell me about the film and why you decided to be so open about this topic.
00:08:56.360
And when you're in a spiritual war, it means there's good versus evil.
00:09:05.280
Evil always, the scripture says that Satan comes as an angel of light.
00:09:09.260
The devil always wants to work with those who can be fooled into thinking that they're
00:09:15.720
That's where you get virtue signaling versus actual virtue.
00:09:19.100
And so you have a lot of confused people in the American church today who are enabling
00:09:29.160
Whether you're talking about the transgender lunacy, drag, drag queen story hour for little
00:09:35.580
kids, the sexualization of children, grooming, that's just one aspect of it, right?
00:09:46.240
We could talk about the ideas that are flooding into the culture that most people look around
00:09:57.060
Who decided 10 minutes ago that there's more than two sexes?
00:10:02.940
What changed is that the forces that have been working all along, mostly kind of underground,
00:10:13.120
Not that Trump did it intentionally, but by virtue of who he is, he's forced, he's kind
00:10:18.320
of like flushed the birds out of the bushes here.
00:10:27.380
And in my book letter to the American church, and obviously in the film letter to the American
00:10:30.660
church, I make the very direct, horrifying parallel to the churches in Germany under the
00:10:37.060
In the beginning, right in the beginning, many of them had no clue where this was going.
00:10:42.520
They didn't understand that we're leading to the death camps and everything that we today
00:10:50.840
Many in the churches opened their doors to Nazi doctrine.
00:10:55.320
Or if they didn't open their door to Nazi doctrine and said, you know what?
00:11:01.860
Romans 13, it says in the scripture, we should go along with whatever the government says,
00:11:10.100
And the thesis of this book and the new film letter to the American church is that is precisely
00:11:21.360
Anybody who calls himself a Christian, you're the church and you are guilty if you are going
00:11:31.920
God won't force you, but he calls you to join him.
00:11:34.340
Well, Eric, let me ask you about that specifically because that line, that passage in Romans 13
00:11:40.460
was also used by a lot of churches in this country, not just to go along with, because
00:11:45.080
we've seen, and I'll come out and just say these sort of like false churches going out
00:11:49.720
and calling themselves, saying that they're for the LGBT agenda, introducing all sorts
00:11:54.840
of wokeness into their theology and twisting the Bible into, you know, there's a guy on
00:11:59.780
Instagram who I love who does Woke Jesus, if anyone wants to see some really good satire
00:12:07.180
But Romans 13 was also used by some of these churches and a lot of megachurches to support
00:12:15.920
How can we support Romans 13 if we don't support what the government tells us?
00:12:26.600
Satan quotes scripture in the wilderness to Jesus, okay?
00:12:33.880
So anybody who thinks like, oh, this is what the Bible says, God doesn't really care if
00:12:39.760
He cares if you live the scripture, because you can quote it all day long and do the opposite
00:12:44.440
And so you have a lot of people right now, look, this horrible Bible study has come out,
00:12:48.360
pushed by Russell Moore and the leftists that have infiltrated the evangelical church.
00:12:59.520
And by the way, what do you think the Nazis were doing?
00:13:01.800
The Nazis were trying to take over the German church.
00:13:11.340
And so we're living at a time where you have to have discernment.
00:13:14.660
And is my pastor leading me to do what God is calling me to do in this hour?
00:13:24.100
Let's just, you know, keep our heads down, you know, put up the BLM square and just, we
00:13:30.820
Lots of people listening to this right now, to this conversation, they're going to those
00:13:39.140
If you knew where we were in America, and if you knew that it was God's will that the
00:13:43.240
church stand against these evils, and you say, well, I'm not ready yet.
00:13:54.960
We feel like we've got some, some kind of, you know, biblical excuse to kind of like, you
00:13:59.260
know, like you just said, Romans 13, just, just go along with what the government says.
00:14:12.100
Do you know that in communist China, the communist Chinese government who are utterly
00:14:16.620
atheistic and evil, they are very happy with those kinds of churches in China.
00:14:26.540
When you leave that church, you bow to the secular atheist authority of the Marxist state.
00:14:32.600
There are many churches in America that are just like that, that what they do, it's like
00:14:39.560
And when they come out of the basement, they're in the real world.
00:14:41.880
Well, you're supposed to take your faith into the public square, into politics, because
00:14:49.720
And I'm just here to say that God always warns us.
00:14:54.460
I'm using the story of Bonhoeffer to warn the American church.
00:14:58.440
It's the voice of Bonhoeffer speaking from the dead and saying, okay, the German church
00:15:06.960
There's actually, so there's a phrase, a couple of things, so much to respond to there.
00:15:11.960
But there is, you know, there's a phrase at the end of the Catholic mass where it's at
00:15:26.360
And if you don't take those as orders to go and live your faith and to go and be a,
00:15:31.800
you know, a representative of your faith, be a witness, it's like, it's, you know, easy
00:15:36.640
one when we're eating out with the family, you know, say grace.
00:15:42.760
It's one of the easiest ways to give witness or pray before your plane takes off.
00:15:47.020
We always do this, but there's a line in Romans 13 where, and it's, it really has to do with
00:15:52.560
the word submit, submit to the governing authorities.
00:15:54.500
And, and there's actually a translation issue here because of the Greek, um, the word in
00:15:59.420
Greek, um, actually, and I just pulled this up as you were speaking, it, it can also has
00:16:07.840
Because let me, let's look at the history of the apostles, right?
00:16:10.860
They didn't submit to the Romans, you know, when the Romans were saying, oh, you, you know,
00:16:15.740
you guys, you know, you're not supposed to be spreading that, uh, that, that new religion,
00:16:19.840
that newfound, newfangled religion you guys came up with, which, you know, we classify
00:16:31.040
So it's kind of ridiculous to people to use this as sort of like a clobber passage.
00:16:40.360
Like it means, okay, if you're going to break through the, the ruling authority, just understand
00:16:44.160
that there are going to be potentially consequences, right?
00:16:47.220
Because as there were consequences for Peter and Paul, it's not only that.
00:16:51.260
Now, there's, it's one thing to live out your faith, right?
00:16:53.340
To have ashes on your head and go into the workplace and to pray.
00:16:56.560
And that's one thing, but to live out your faith in every other sphere, not just the religious
00:17:01.700
sphere, but to say that my faith says that slavery is wrong.
00:17:05.300
So if there's a candidate like Abraham Lincoln, who's working, uh, to, to end slavery, I'm going
00:17:10.820
to advocate for him publicly people said at the time, Oh, don't be political.
00:17:16.140
There's people on both sides of the issue of slavery.
00:17:21.420
If you do not get into that, when it comes to transgender, when it comes to a host of
00:17:26.240
issues, there are churches that are pretending that you can take some safe religious path
00:17:31.520
And I'm here to say, that's not what the Bible says.
00:17:35.560
God says that we are to be his advocates, advocates for him and his principles in the
00:17:42.840
And when you talk about first century, uh, Roman, the Roman world, they did not have
00:17:50.640
a country where they were deputized because patriots had died so they could be free and
00:18:01.280
Christians are supposed to live their faith out.
00:18:05.560
Patriots have died so that we can speak freely, so we can advocate for what is right.
00:18:10.960
We can call president Biden a bum who is selling America out to the Chinese.
00:18:18.540
Quick break, Eric, coming up, we'll be right back.
00:18:20.660
Well, I want to finish that point with you because this is so important.
00:18:23.360
And then also explain to people about what the movie is and how they can watch it.
00:18:31.860
These are influencers and they're friends of mine.
00:18:46.700
If you're watching on X right now, that's right.
00:18:53.780
Is that what's going to come in and take out the United States?
00:18:59.040
Are they giving the space lasers to the illegals, 10,000 of which are crossing our border every
00:19:05.880
But there's another security threat, a threat to the security of our country, a threat to
00:19:10.760
the security of potentially our national spirit, if we're even allowed to discuss such things.
00:19:17.780
And we've got Eric Metaxas, who's made an entire film about it.
00:19:21.940
Yes, I wrote the book letter to the American church.
00:19:26.080
Some Hollywood veterans heard me speaking about this and said, we've got to turn this
00:19:31.820
And by the way, let me say this, Jack, this film is available free to any church that wants
00:19:39.720
And if you go to some church, I want to say to you, if your church is not interested in
00:19:44.120
a free screening, no strings attached, there's no joke here, free, I want to know why you're
00:19:49.580
going to that church, because there are a lot of people in America right now going to churches
00:19:53.500
that are helping the other side, that are doing nothing, that are sitting on the fence,
00:19:58.500
pretending that they don't need to get involved in this fighting this war against evil.
00:20:04.360
And that's exactly what the German churches were persuaded.
00:20:07.560
They were persuaded that we can sit this one out.
00:20:09.840
So I say to anybody, if you go to any kind of church, go to lettertotheamericanchurch.com
00:20:21.420
And I want to say I had on my program this morning, Bishop Strickland.
00:20:27.280
I don't care what kind of church you go to, if you're Catholic, Protestant, Eastern Orthodox,
00:20:30.920
there are good guys and bad guys in every church.
00:20:34.660
There are good guys who get this, and there are people who don't want to get it.
00:20:37.960
They're just going with the flow and working with evil.
00:20:40.680
And then there are actively bad guys who are promoting silence in the church, promoting
00:20:46.060
silence so that the left-wing Marxist, cultural Marxist agenda can take over, so that the
00:20:55.500
And so you have Christianity Today, Russell Moore, David French, Phil Vischer participating
00:20:59.500
in a documentary made by the atheist leftist, Mike, I was going to say Mike Stivick.
00:21:12.640
They're lifting up the boogeyman of Christian nationalism.
00:21:20.220
If you were living in Germany in the 1930s and you're just doing church, let me tell you
00:21:25.080
something, there are a lot of Jews going in boxcars to death camps who wish Christians
00:21:29.220
would get off their rear ends and actually practice their faith in reality, not just
00:21:33.720
worship God and sing songs, but actually get engaged.
00:21:37.300
That's what God is saying to the American church.
00:21:39.820
And if you go to any kind of church, I just want to say, lettertotheamericanchurch.com,
00:21:43.740
you can do a free screening, but get people involved.
00:21:49.880
And by the way, if we don't, the dark side wins.
00:21:53.980
We know that we're in a pitched battle in this nation.
00:21:56.620
And I really, I want to say that it is up to the church, those who dare call themselves
00:22:02.500
If you dare call yourself a Christian, God calls you to this battle.
00:22:10.380
So lettertotheamericanchurch.com, all the details are there.
00:22:16.400
And when we look at this, this idea that there are churches that are going along with this,
00:22:24.180
And part of this, you know, I will throw this out that we have a, I have a buddy that I work
00:22:30.240
with who, I won't say who had his name on air because I don't think he said any of this publicly,
00:22:34.120
but he has this, he has this phrase where he says, so many of the churches today, and it goes back to
00:22:39.540
what you were saying, they've, they've become this sort of like Omicron Christianity.
00:22:44.740
So you remember when, when COVID was going around and Omicron was sort of like the weakest variant
00:22:49.600
of COVID, but it was also, but it was also the most contagious, right?
00:22:55.800
And he said, the problem with so much of these American churches, so many of these American
00:22:59.660
churches now is that they become Omicron Christianity where it's like, and you know,
00:23:04.260
I don't know if you have, you've commented at all on this, um, this, this feet washing ad that was on
00:23:19.300
And I will say that, um, pastor, pastor Mark Driscoll had a, had a great tweet, absolute
00:23:24.540
And he said, Jesus washed the feet of Judas and he still sent him to hell.
00:23:29.540
So just because forgiveness as is offered and atonement is offered, uh, love is offered.
00:23:39.920
And there are still, uh, you know, duties and there are, you still have to follow along.
00:23:44.320
You don't just get this, all this stuff for free.
00:23:46.580
Well, that see, that's the whole thing is that God is calling us to something beautiful,
00:23:50.940
to an adventure, uh, to, to a battle where we get to be with him fighting against evil.
00:23:58.400
It's the most glorious thing, uh, to be called to this adventure that God says, I want you
00:24:11.940
And there are many people that seem to think, well, I don't want any trouble.
00:24:19.740
You know, this book is titled letter to the American church.
00:24:22.400
I was going to title it faith without works is dead.
00:24:25.880
That's right in the scripture, uh, in the epistle of James, this let's go, let's go.
00:24:34.620
When people say, you know, Protestants all say, well, we're saved by faith.
00:24:41.100
And the scripture says, if there's no works, if you're not living out your faith, God knows
00:24:49.240
So the fact that you go to church or you say I'm a Christian is meaningless.
00:24:52.600
There have been some of the most wicked people, I won't name them here, claim to be Christians.
00:24:59.980
Can you imagine advocating and every other wicked thing?
00:25:05.600
And you say that you're a Christian, it frightens me.
00:25:08.280
I would rather hang out with a pagan than a Christian who's working for the devil's purposes.
00:25:12.120
But there are many who go to churches right now that are not taking a stand.
00:25:16.520
They're saying, well, we're just going to sit on the fence.
00:25:24.320
If you do not get off that fence and choose and join with people who are trying to fight
00:25:29.880
for truth, fight against corruption, fight against wickedness and lies, if you think you
00:25:35.300
can sit this one out, I'm here to tell you you're deeply mistaken.
00:25:38.900
And many, many Germans who said, I'm a Christian, they sat it out and the results were a nightmare.
00:25:45.280
I cover that in the book to make it very clear that I didn't make this up.
00:25:50.700
God allowed them to go with the flow and then history judges them.
00:25:56.520
They were not doing what they were supposed to do.
00:26:05.180
The heretics lie in wait, hidden in the cloak of the Christian name.
00:26:12.040
It's much easier, you know, if you're the demon at the door, the demon at the gate, and
00:26:18.080
you're, you're, you know, this is, you know, warfare is like this as well, right?
00:26:21.140
If you're the enemy at the gate, then of course I know you're the enemy.
00:26:27.520
But if you come in claiming to be my friend, speaking my, my, my words, speaking my language,
00:26:34.960
looking like me, sounding like me, but then all of a sudden just adding and subtracting
00:26:40.260
a few words here and there, manipulating, subverting.
00:26:47.420
Because on the face of it, you might say something like Jesus loves us, or I don't know,
00:26:52.820
he gets us, but instead, and it sounds like something that's about loving Christ, but
00:26:58.040
actually it's leading you to a different place.
00:27:04.220
That's why all the Christians that are involved in opening the door to evil, whether it is
00:27:10.220
in churches or in their communities, it is, it's much worse when you're a Christian, when
00:27:15.060
you claim the name of Christ and you say, I'm a Christian and you're working with the
00:27:20.200
That's far more horrifying than somebody says, I'm a pagan.
00:27:27.180
But if you're a Christian, whoa, it is a scary thing.
00:27:30.080
So I mentioned before that Rob Reiner has made a film.
00:27:33.860
It's coming out soon about Christian nationalism, the boogeyman of Christians getting involved
00:27:38.380
in politics and saying that they want to destroy democracy.
00:27:42.380
That's exactly the opposite of the truth, right?
00:27:50.680
We don't want to censor those with whom we disagree.
00:27:56.200
And he got Christians, ostensible Christians, like Russ Moore, the head of Christianity Today,
00:28:00.900
like David French, like Phil Vischer, who started Veggie Tales.
00:28:04.060
He got them to participate in this film that is calling for Christians to be silent in the
00:28:16.180
It's saying exactly the opposite of what I'm saying in my book, Letter to the American
00:28:20.500
And people are, they're drinking this Kool-Aid.
00:28:22.520
They're thinking, yeah, I don't need to do anything.
00:28:24.420
Andy Stanley, a year ago, came out with a book, Not In It to Win It, saying that if you
00:28:27.860
get involved politically, oh, you're just a power monger.
00:28:32.160
That's what they said about people who opposed the slave trade.
00:28:34.840
That's what they said about people who opposed murdering the unborn.
00:28:38.340
All right, all right, all right, but two minutes to go here.
00:28:44.480
Eric, I got to ask you, the other clobber phrase, the other clobber phrase, because I
00:28:49.440
was reading some of the comments as we were chatting, the other clobber phrase that people
00:28:53.100
use out of Scripture all the time is, turn the other cheek.
00:28:57.060
Shouldn't you Christians just turn the other cheek?
00:28:58.720
Isn't that what your Scripture tells you to do?
00:29:03.840
Yeah, I mean, what could be more meaningless than taking something out of context?
00:29:06.640
Turn the other cheek means, I guess we shouldn't have a military to protect us from evil people
00:29:20.820
They have taken, they've cherry picked some Scriptures, and they've created this insane
00:29:29.240
No, no, this is, look, this is shallow, sloppy thinking, and the devil uses it, and it works
00:29:35.680
My point is, if you're one of those Christians that's going along with this, you shouldn't
00:29:39.800
not only just disagree with it, you need to get involved.
00:29:43.140
So I'll say the website again, it's lettertotheamericanchurch.com.
00:29:48.760
People need to begin discussing this, need to begin discussing, have you been guilty of
00:29:54.980
And in the last couple of pages of the Scripture, it says, who's going to be cast into the lake
00:30:03.760
Every one of us is called to live out our faith with bravery, with courage.
00:30:10.580
Jack, you and your audience know this better than anybody.
00:30:12.580
If you're any kind of Christian, you need to be at the forefront of fighting against
00:30:19.300
It is biblical, and it is something that God invites us into.
00:30:23.900
It's a joyous, glorious thing, but he doesn't force us.
00:30:27.380
And so it's a chilling moment because we all know the hour is very late.
00:30:31.280
If we don't get involved now, in Germany, by 1935, it was over.
00:30:35.780
Bonhoeffer knew it was over by the short window of opportunity.
00:30:41.900
Letter to the American Church, the great Eric Metaxas.
00:31:07.480
We're always talking about the fake news and the bad, but we have guys, and these are the
00:31:13.260
Jack Prasovic back live here, Human Events Daily.
00:31:21.940
Because they're hiding something, something big.
00:31:24.800
People are realizing they're being lied to left and right, even by institutions they thought
00:31:34.200
You also know that the time to prepare for what's coming is right now.
00:31:40.660
That way you will save $200 on an essential three-month emergency food kit from MyPatriot
00:31:47.380
Look, I don't know about this national security threat that they're all talking about, but
00:31:51.360
I do know that there are serious national security threats to this country, and you
00:31:58.580
Prepare your family for the emergencies, because we don't know when yours will be.
00:32:05.600
Their delicious meals will actually last for up to 25 years in storage and provide over 2,000
00:32:10.940
Eat right when things go wrong with these three-month emergency food kits from MyPatriot Supply.
00:32:21.300
Order by 3 p.m. today for free, same-day shipping.
00:32:25.640
I always say, by the way, throw one of these in the back of your car.
00:32:28.600
I was getting stories yesterday in the huge snowstorm in Philadelphia, New York, of people
00:32:33.240
getting stuck in their cars for four hours, five hours.
00:32:36.140
Even my aunt texted me, said that someone was stuck for seven hours in their car, couldn't
00:32:43.240
I said, look, that's why you throw one of these things in the back of your car.
00:32:47.700
We don't know what's going on yet with the Russian space lasers, but we do know that
00:32:51.960
the House has voted to impeach Alejandro Mayorkas, the Secretary of Homeland Security.
00:33:02.300
Because a lot of people were cheering this last night, and I said, look, I don't know
00:33:05.660
how this is going to play out in the Senate, but let's bring Mike Davis on because he knows
00:33:11.700
I imagine that the Senate will set up some sort of an impeachment committee who will pretend
00:33:17.140
to look at these allegations and then not do very much with it and probably bury it.
00:33:23.600
They might have Republican support to get rid of this impeachment because we have the
00:33:29.560
uniparty in the Senate who's more concerned about sending our taxpayer money, $60 billion
00:33:43.020
So I can't imagine there's going to be much appetite in the United States Senate by either
00:33:48.480
party to do much about this Mayorkas in his obviously impeachable offenses where this guy
00:33:57.880
has violated his oath to protect our country, to enforce federal law.
00:34:03.120
He's actually willfully ignored it in order to import 10 million illegal migrants, illegal
00:34:10.320
immigrants into this country, many of them unvetted from dangerous places around the world.
00:34:16.120
So they're going to bring their crime, their murders, their rapes, their kidnappings, their
00:34:21.780
They're going to bring their fentanyl and the resulting deaths.
00:34:27.300
Well, and by the way, so we have this huge, this huge narrative that's going on right
00:34:31.620
now about a potential national security threat to the United States.
00:34:36.080
You know, they're making this out to be like Washington, D.C. is about to get blown up.
00:34:41.460
They said, oh, did the Russians have space lasers, Russian space lasers?
00:34:45.160
Because, of course, it's all coming from the same.
00:34:49.280
But you got to, I got to say, it seems a little suspicious when all of this is coming
00:34:53.060
from the Ukraine spending guys at the time that we know that the House is saying that
00:34:57.380
they don't want to vote for this massive foreign aid package.
00:35:00.980
And you want to talk about national security threats.
00:35:03.100
How about 10,000 people coming across our border every day?
00:35:05.780
And then the government or government backed NGOs giving those people plane tickets and allowing
00:35:11.560
them onto airplanes into the interior of our country.
00:35:22.440
Uniparty is so focused on sending tens of billions of dollars to their defense contractors
00:35:29.740
in Ukraine that we've really taken our eye off the ball on the real national security
00:35:34.960
threats, including China and including our southern border.
00:35:39.460
Well, OK, that being said, though, let's go back to this aspect of the trial.
00:35:43.300
Does the Senate have to hold a trial once they're given articles of impeachment?
00:35:51.000
No, I mean, generally what they do, if they have impeachments for a president, they're
00:35:55.420
going to have a trial with the full Senate, right?
00:35:58.220
But when they have impeachments for cabinet secretaries or other officers, you can send
00:36:04.580
You can have like a trial by committee and then they can make a recommendation to the
00:36:11.500
This is what they've done on federal judges in the past.
00:36:14.500
I seriously doubt the Senate is going to hold a trial for the for the Mayorkas impeachment
00:36:22.480
I think that Schumer is going to understand that that would suck up a lot of their floor
00:36:27.380
time that they could be using on confirming their judges and, you know, spending money on
00:36:34.080
Ukraine and other things that are more important to the Democrats and frankly, the D.C.
00:36:38.980
So I imagine that the Senate's going to come up with a way to bury this impeachment trial
00:36:47.580
Well, and see, this is what I was saying last night, and I got a lot of flack for it, man.
00:36:50.660
I got a lot of flack because people were people were cheering.
00:36:53.520
People were popping the champagne bottles and, you know, really enjoying Fat Tuesday and
00:37:02.920
But that doesn't mean there's automatically going to be a trial because it's not MAGA
00:37:09.480
that controls the Senate and it's not it's not even Republicans that control the Senate.
00:37:14.500
Mitch doesn't even control the Senate, which, by the way, I would point out that Mitch did
00:37:17.160
control the Senate when he presided over the both of the impeachments of President Donald
00:37:23.460
And so this is this is a situation or I guess the, you know, the second one was as there
00:37:28.140
But this is a situation where they easily don't necessarily have to have a trial.
00:37:35.680
And so we can take this Pyrrhic victory and say, OK, we got that's great.
00:37:38.860
We impeached him and we got points on the board and, you know, we're we're painting them in
00:37:43.680
But what I'm saying is, is this actually points on the on the board or was it just something
00:37:50.600
Well, you know, I actually think it was important that the House did this because, you know, if you're
00:37:55.300
a cabinet secretary, you don't want to be the first cabinet secretary in 150 years who's been
00:38:06.800
You intentionally violated federal law by mass releasing these illegal immigrants into our
00:38:12.580
And this has created grave danger in our communities.
00:38:18.980
These sanctuary cities who pretend like they wanted all these illegal immigrants, all of a
00:38:29.520
I'll tell you that people in Denver are not happy that Denver's been overrun by illegal
00:38:34.640
immigrants, including Denver Health that's been overrun by illegal immigrants.
00:38:38.940
And now they're going to have to cut services to people around the Denver community, including
00:38:43.860
people who need the services the most, like, you know, black Americans and the Hispanic Americans
00:38:49.280
in these low income communities are the ones who are going to get hurt by these illegal
00:38:59.160
And so the way that I look at it and look, and look, I'm not trying to be a party pooper
00:39:06.560
But where my skepticism comes in is, look, Eric Holder, right?
00:39:11.340
Eric Holder was found in contempt in during the Obama administration.
00:39:16.280
And that was something that, you know, Republicans held up and said, look, we got it.
00:39:23.340
But did it actually stop Eric Holder from doing anything?
00:39:26.700
Has this stopped the flow of illegals across our border?
00:39:31.440
I want to look at the tangible effects that this is going to have for the American people
00:39:36.060
And that's that's why I'm trying to, you know, look, look, I want to celebrate, you
00:39:39.700
know, I want this guy to be booted and I want this guy dirtied up and muddied up for
00:39:47.080
But I guess the reason that I'm trying to come to this with with a note of skepticism is
00:39:51.960
because I want to know if it's actually going to work.
00:39:55.200
Well, I look, I think it's important that they did this because I think it gives the House
00:40:01.400
If you have an impeachment inquiry versus general oversight, you can get past executive
00:40:05.820
privilege and you don't have to have a legislative purpose with an impeachment inquiry versus
00:40:13.800
And it's also important to send a message to these leftists that there are going to
00:40:27.400
What do you mean that the House can there be an yeah, can the House hold?
00:40:31.400
You know, full just like the J6 committee, can we have hearings on Mayorkas that are run
00:40:41.160
Look, we're going to we're going to continue our impeachment investigation or impeachment
00:40:49.700
And they look, they need to make this front and center that that, you know, this illegal
00:40:54.540
immigration that Biden has done intentionally to open up our southern border and import
00:41:07.240
We'll come right back with you and let you finish your thought, because this is important,
00:41:10.620
folks, impeaching a cabinet member hasn't been done 150 years.
00:41:17.280
I'm always listening to Human Events with Jack Posobiec.
00:41:20.360
All right, Jack Posobiec back live, Human Events Daily, Mike Davis on.
00:41:28.080
Remember, we got Russian space lasers out there, Bidenomics, a complete and total disaster.
00:41:34.860
It is because I start every day with a hot America First cup of blackout coffee.
00:41:41.140
Blackout coffee, 100% committed also to conservative values from sourcing the beans to the roasting
00:41:46.920
They embody true American values and accept no compromise on taste or quality.
00:41:57.500
Go to blackoutcoffee.com slash poso and use promo code POSO20 for 20% off your first order.
00:42:07.520
Now get that special someone, the gift of being awake, not woke, with blackout coffee.
00:42:12.140
That's blackoutcoffee.com slash poso, blackoutcoffee.com slash poso,
00:42:17.960
Going back to Mike Davis, Mike, you mentioned that Mayorkas, and of course, it is historic.
00:42:23.640
First guy, first cabinet member, 150 years to be impeached.
00:42:32.300
How do you think this affects him on a personal level?
00:42:40.120
Look, regardless of what we think about Mayorkas, he actually has serious credentials.
00:42:44.400
He was the U.S. attorney for Clinton out in Los Angeles.
00:42:49.040
He was the director of citizen, one of the service bureaus within DHS under Obama.
00:42:57.060
Then he was the deputy secretary of DHS for Obama.
00:43:04.380
And, you know, he has a serious background, serious credentials.
00:43:07.660
And he's the first cabinet secretary in 150 years who's been impeached for failing to do his job for intentionally disregarding federal law.
00:43:18.300
So I can't imagine that that's a good thing for him and that he's proud of the fact that he's been impeached.
00:43:29.060
Let's let's go over to the lawfare section when it comes to President Trump.
00:43:33.660
We know that a number of these cases are going forward.
00:43:39.460
Yeah, so the Supreme Court is deciding whether to halt these cases pending its review of whether a former president is immune from from prosecution by his successor based upon his official acts as the president of the United States.
00:43:59.140
We have we have immunity for both civil and criminal prosecution for members of Congress through the speech or debate clause in the Constitution.
00:44:08.220
Federal judges are also immune both civilly and criminally.
00:44:12.300
Right now, only the president, the president's only immune civilly because we've never had a president charged like President Biden and these Democrats have charged Trump four times with these bogus charges against him.
00:44:26.080
So now I think the Supreme Court is going to have to take this case.
00:44:30.660
Remember, even Jack Smith back in December said the Supreme Court had to take this case when Jack Smith was pushing the Supreme Court to skip the D.C.
00:44:44.120
So I don't know how Jack Smith and the Biden Justice Department can turn around now, two months later, and say, oh, no, no, no, the Supreme Court can't take this case.
00:44:55.980
So the Supreme Court should not take this case that he can't have it both ways.
00:44:59.920
The Supreme Court is going to have to take this case through the normal appellate process.
00:45:08.440
Circuit and seeking en banc or full court review first.
00:45:12.500
And then they're going to decide and then Trump's going to file a cert petition.
00:45:18.820
This this case with Jack Smith and D.C., the January 6th case is not going to get resolved before the presidential election.
00:45:29.740
And I'll just I'll just say this on the quote unquote national security threat.
00:45:37.300
I was sort of halfway joking earlier about the Russian space lasers.
00:45:41.580
They're saying that Russia is, quote unquote, planning to put nuclear weapons in space, not to drop them onto Earth, but rather possibly use against satellites.
00:45:54.260
Quote, it's very concerning and very sensitive, said one source who called it, quote, a big deal.
00:46:00.220
So that's where we got, folks, Russian space lasers, Russian nuclear space lasers.
00:46:05.760
Now, that's why we've got to pass this money for you, Ukraine.
00:46:10.360
Mike, something tells me, though, that when we have a situation, look, we know Russia is a nuclear threat.
00:46:16.560
That's why President Trump has said that we should seek rapprochement with with them.
00:46:21.040
That's why he wanted to seek peace deals with North Korea.
00:46:23.740
If anybody remembers this stuff, this is why to, you know, encapsulate everything that you've said.
00:46:28.180
This is why they're running these bogus cases against him, because they don't want someone in there who wants peace with the world's nuclear powers.
00:46:37.620
Yeah, I mean, it sounds like we might have to take that 60 billion dollars that we're going to send to Ukrainian oligarchs and to our defense contractors in Ukraine.
00:46:46.320
And maybe we should send it to our space command or space force.
00:46:49.260
Right. I mean, if that if the threat is actually that this is the founder of the U.S. space force.
00:46:54.560
Yeah, I mean, this we need to sorry, guys, the bigger threat is Russia blowing up our satellites in space.
00:47:02.740
So Ukraine, sorry, you know, sorry, you're going to lose three Russian speaking provinces in eastern Ukraine.
00:47:10.440
So so we're going to spend our 60 billion dollars on Trump's space force instead of in Ukraine.
00:47:16.240
I mean, we really look at this stuff and and again, it's to your point, right?
00:47:25.500
We know the world is a place where we have adversaries.
00:47:33.960
