This is what happens when the 4th 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 in the latest headlines.
00:07:06.540We're building a new future for our country.
00:07:10.760Real quick, I want to tell you about today's episode sponsor.
00:07:13.040For 10 years, Patriot Mobile has been America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.
00:07:17.940And when I say only, trust me, they're the only one.
00:07:20.920Glenn Story and the team over there have been great supporters of Human Events.
00:07:24.020That's why I'm proud to partner with them.
00:07:26.280Patriot Mobile offers dependable nationwide coverage, giving you the ability to access all three major networks, which means you get the same coverage.
00:07:32.860Yes, even today, with everything going on, even for you other coverage users, you could get it today with Patriot Mobile.
00:07:39.680You know also that you're supporting freedom of speech, religious liberty, the sanctity of life, the Second Amendment, our military, our veterans, our first responder heroes.
00:07:51.680This is a 100% U.S.-based customer service team that speaks English.
00:08:13.460I am joined with the Washington Bureau Chief of Breitbart News, Matt Boyle.
00:08:18.080Matt, introduce yourself to this crowd of wonderful, attractive, handsome, beautiful, good-looking patriots, and tell them what you're all about.
00:08:26.840Yeah, look, so I run all of politics coverage for Breitbart.
00:08:29.980So we're arguably one of the biggest conservative media outlets out there.
00:08:33.780What we do is we go, I have a team of reporters and editors.
00:08:38.100What we do is we go out there, we chase down stories and stuff that's happening at the White House, stuff that's happening in Senate races, the presidential race, any political story out there that you can think of.
00:08:51.440Everything that you see on Breitbart, I'm involved in all the politics.
00:08:56.660One of the best source men in politics, particularly when it comes to the Hill.
00:09:00.520Now, let me ask you, this contention that I have, that they are hitting the panic button inside the White House, what are you hearing on that front, and what are you seeing out of, the Democrats are trying to put up this unified front, but I believe we are seeing the cracks in the dam.
00:09:14.840Yeah, no, I think that's right. The special counsel report from special counsel Herr was absolutely brutal.
00:09:21.380So, Biden's own Justice Department is saying in an official document that Joe Biden is not competent enough to stand trial for the crimes that he clearly committed with the documents at his house, strewn around the garage, around the Corvette, in the boxes.
00:09:40.520And that, by the way, Biden repeatedly lied. That's the other thing. The facts about the way that he was careless in handling the documents are so damning in there that he should be charged with a crime.
00:09:52.040His own Justice Department is saying they aren't going to do that because he doesn't have the mental fitness to stand trial.
00:09:58.200So, as such, how can you be President of the United States? How can you have the nuclear launch codes?
00:10:03.520All of these things are real serious problems for them. And Democrats are, I think, are starting to come to the realization that they're either going to have to continue with the charade, as you were saying in the opening there, the propping up a weekend at Bernie's type candidate, or they're going to have to go to plan B.
00:10:21.840Right. And the mechanism for that is there's only one person left running against Joe Biden.
00:10:28.900This guy is not going to be President of the United States. His name is Dean Phillips. He's a congressman from Minnesota.
00:10:33.860So the only way that they can get rid of him is he agrees to step aside or they do it at the convention.
00:10:40.440Now, is there there is some precedence for this because we've actually seen Democrat candidates not even that long ago, just in historical settings, do this because LBJ, LBJ opted not to run for reelection as a sitting president.
00:10:57.300But he did that prior to the convention, correct?
00:11:01.160Right. And so there were opportunities for other candidates to be out there running. You have Bobby Kennedy out there running, et cetera.
00:11:07.000So the filing deadlines have passed. It's too late for a candidate to step in and run against Joe Biden.
00:11:16.700Which, by the way, we have to point out the historical symmetry of that because LBJ dropped out when he was sitting president when Robert F. Kennedy Sr. was running the first time.
00:11:30.040Now we've got a sitting Joe Biden who may not run again. And Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is currently the symmetry is amazing.
00:11:38.840Right. It absolutely is. So the only mechanism left is either Biden agrees voluntarily to step aside and Kamala becomes the president and the candidate.
00:11:49.500Or there is a mass revolt among Democrat superdelegates at the Democrat National Convention whereby they throw it to either Kamala or somebody else.
00:12:01.460This was the CPAC panel that I did earlier with Monica Crowley and Kurt Schlichter and Larry O'Connor where we were talking about this.
00:12:08.520There's a lot of people out there. Monica is one of them who thinks that I Michelle Obama is going to come out of nowhere and be the candidate.
00:12:15.860But even if it isn't her. And by the way, the last time I was with President Trump at the end of December down at Mar-a-Lago, we talked about exactly this.
00:12:22.820President Trump is thinking he said this in our interview that he won't be facing either Biden or Kamala.
00:12:29.560So what Trump thinks happens is. So I'm going to say that again.
00:12:33.640President Trump thinks that the candidate will not be Biden or Kamala Harris.
00:12:39.120What is he thinking? So he thinks that what they're going to do is they're going to either Biden's in either voluntarily step aside or be pushed aside.
00:12:46.600And then at the convention, they're going to try to throw it to Kamala.
00:12:50.480Again, the deal that made Biden president that gave him the Democrat nomination and made him the president eventually was the deal with Jim Clyburn in South Carolina.
00:12:58.900Now, for the black black vote, Jim Clyburn, in exchange for delivering South Carolina to Joe Biden in 2020 in the primaries, they wanted Klobuchar.
00:13:08.500Right. They they made Joe Biden agree to pick a black woman as vice president.
00:13:12.860And Joe Biden upheld his end of the bargain. He picked Kamala Harris.
00:13:16.260So Kamala Harris would be the person that they try to throw it to at the convention first.
00:13:21.680But Trump thinks that they're going to fail in that she won't be able to get the votes on the floor of the convention of a contested convention to be able to get there.
00:13:28.580So hold on. So hold on. Let's talk process. Let's talk process.
00:13:32.600So if Joe Biden says that he will not run and then opens the convention up to essentially a contested convention, an open convention, then how does it work from that point?
00:13:44.640Well, if Joe Biden's not running, then because he's the only candidate with delegates going into the convention, what ends up happening is that the delegates have to then coalesce behind a majority.
00:13:54.500So the delegates are released. I believe so. I like it's very complicated.
00:13:59.300We're in kind of uncharted waters here. Right. Like, so do they have to do what Joe wants?
00:14:04.220Like, does Joe tell the delegates to go vote for Kamala or do they have to follow through on that?
00:14:08.940Or do they say we aren't going to pick Kamala because, you know, she's not very good at her job?
00:14:13.680I don't know. Like, so these are serious things. I don't know the answer to that.
00:14:17.580But at the same time, Democrats are really, really worried about what happens down ticket.
00:14:23.740Right. Like, so they're worried about the impact that what is going on at the top of the ticket has on the bottom of the ticket.
00:14:29.460And this is something that you've been great on that no one else is talking about because we have House races in every single district of the country.
00:14:36.340We've got Senate races. So a third of the seats are up and the Democrats are very, very worried, number one, about the presidency.
00:14:44.520But number two, about the U.S. Senate. And then they've got the entire House up as well.
00:14:48.600Right. So now that the House is it's kind of looking better for the Democrats than the it's very tight, the Senate.
00:14:55.380Right. Like so the we'll see what happens there.
00:14:58.260But the Senate map is so bad for the Democrats right now.
00:15:01.960You have everywhere from Arizona to Nevada to Ohio, Montana, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan.
00:15:19.300You're talking about in Republicans are starting at 49. Right.
00:15:23.160So the Republicans started 49. The Democrats have 51.
00:15:25.280If the Republicans take half of the battleground seats, by the way, there's New Mexico's out there.
00:15:30.300You've got Minnesota out there as a possibility.
00:15:32.420The Democrats are worried about New Mexico.
00:15:34.600Well, Maryland is. And this is something where I took a lot of guff from conservatives, say, when I said when I said, you know, Larry Hogan running is a good thing for Republicans.
00:15:44.040I said this guy's anti-Trump. Excuse me.
00:15:46.740If the Democrats have to pour money into a blue state like Maryland.
00:15:50.680And the opening calls, by the way, have him up 20 points.
00:15:55.700A candidate who is very popular in the state of Maryland, a seat that you're essentially taking off the Democrats plate.
00:16:01.380That's a number on the Republican side.
00:16:04.200Now, is this this is not the same calculus as a Mitt Romney in Utah, because Utah is a rock red state.
00:16:10.320But in a blue state like Maryland, if you can get a I don't care what you have to say to win, if you're a Republican in Maryland, you can win statewide.
00:16:18.780So I'm not saying I'm going to be like running around campaigning for the guy.
00:16:22.580But the point is that the if Republicans are able to take even half of those states that I listed out.
00:16:27.620And there's a few others out there, too, that I'm forgetting off the top of my head.
00:16:30.100But the point is that if Republicans are able to take even half of those, you're looking at a fifty four, fifty five, fifty six seats.
00:16:37.560Fifty six seats for Republicans in the Senate.
00:16:41.280Right. Now, if the polling numbers keep getting worse for the Democrats at the presidential level and down ticket as a result of that,
00:16:49.560then you're going to start to see this panic that you're already talking about get even worse among Democrats.
00:16:54.420That's when they really start saying, OK, that's when a document about the 25th Amendment starts circulating among cabinet members.
00:17:01.960That's when they start saying you have a couple of cabinet members or Democrat senators out there saying we're you know,
00:17:08.640we're seriously considering getting rid of them or moving on to somebody else.
00:17:11.520Because the fact is, is that if Republicans can get the White House back with Trump winning and to close to or at 60 seats in the Senate,
00:17:20.660which is not outside the realm of possibility with all of these down ticket races,
00:17:24.480if it's going to be a total blowout at the presidential level, that's when they're going to really panic.
00:17:29.200I got to just pick up on what you said there.
00:17:31.400Imagine if one year from today we're sitting in Washington, D.C., Donald Trump is the president and the Senate has a 54 seat majority on the Republican side.
00:17:45.360If you can maintain at least a close to what we have on the House side, you're talking about a very serious mandate that President Trump could have going into that.
00:17:54.040And some of those races were coming up on a quick break.
00:17:55.620Some of those races I want to ask you about as well, because Arizona, Pennsylvania, these are places that could be heavy lifts.
00:18:02.060Arizona's got a weird thing going on this year with the three race.
00:19:02.580I'm the kind of guy who likes knowing where my food comes from.
00:19:06.480And with Moinkbox, that place is the small family farms from all across this great nation.
00:19:11.580You can help save the family farm and get access to the highest quality meat on earth when you join the Moink movement today.
00:19:19.000Moinkbox runs their business from a town of 97 people in Newark, Missouri.
00:19:22.540They're helping save our traditions, our values, and helping save rural America with every order.
00:19:27.860We're talking grass-fed and grass-finished, beef and lamb, pastured pork and chicken, sustainable wild-caught Alaskan salmon straight to your door.
00:21:22.620And so if Trump wins by two or three, maybe four percent in both of these places, then I think he drags both McCormick and Kerry Lake across the finish line.
00:21:31.300Well, it's interesting because what you're talking about essentially is that Donald Trump's got coattails.
00:21:36.040Joe Biden's got, we don't have a word for it.
00:21:45.720I've called it this for years, dating back to 2016.
00:21:48.620Donald Trump and the Republican candidates for Senate won every single battleground state in 2016 as long as the Republican Senate candidate stood with Trump all the way through Election Day.
00:22:07.420The two states where the Republican Senate candidates unendorsed, Kelly Ayotte in New Hampshire and Joe Heck in Nevada, are the two states that both the Republican Senate candidate and Trump lost those states.
00:22:19.040And so those were the people who unendorsed after Access Hollywood weekend.
00:22:30.680So the establishment Republican Senate candidates and Trump, they bring different voters to turn out.
00:22:36.680And so if they stick together all the way through November, I think they all win together.
00:22:41.340Now, immediately after this program yesterday, Laura Trump gave a speech and we carried it live down in South Carolina where she gave a full-throated endorsement and said that if she is elected, it is an election, the co-chair of the RNC,
00:22:57.780that one of the things that she's going to put front and center, early voting and ballot operations.
00:23:03.180And I know every time I bring this up, people get very upset about it.
00:24:51.460I don't think that you should, like policy-wise, I don't think you should be able to vote or vote absentee unless you are seriously ill, like in the hospital and can't leave or in the military like I was when I was deployed.
00:25:21.720You win, then you can change the rules, right?
00:25:23.880But we can't change the rules right now because the Democrats control everything, at least at the federal level.
00:25:28.040And you look at those states that you just mentioned, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, each of those four has a Democrat governor right now.
00:26:07.820Yeah, so A.G. Carr, by the way, down in Georgia, who wants to run for governor of Georgia,
00:26:14.060if he wants to cross the street and run for governor, then I would say to A.G. Carr that the easiest thing,
00:26:20.500the easiest way to do it would be open up a criminal investigation into Fannie Willis and the RICO operation that she was running with Nathan Wade.
00:26:30.120It's as simple as that, but it's very clear to me what's going on there.
00:26:33.860You've got the southern plantation lords who don't want to go into this because of politics.
00:26:38.300Wait, I mean, honestly, like, it's clear as day that what was going on there is wrong, right?
00:26:44.920Like, and so, and by the way, she literally campaigned on, she was saying out there saying during the campaign that people wanted a district attorney that wasn't having sex with their staffers.
00:29:14.820And so my thematic point is that we are here in the swamp to drain the swamp and then eventually raise the swamp to the ground and construct the new American Republic on its ashes.
00:29:29.520Yeah, well, look, I mean, do you think the deep state people that are all living around Washington, D.C. and the DMV, right?
00:29:35.440Like, you know, D.C., Maryland, Virginia, they don't notice all these conservatives around.
00:29:44.980Like, they're scared of the people that come to this conference because they know it's the people that come to this conference that give the shot for a guy like Trump to come back to the White House and to actually take their power away, right?
00:29:57.200The people in that town that you know and I know so well, they want this to not exist.
00:30:28.020Angel Studios is going to be joining us right here talking about their latest release, Cabrini, which is premiering tonight right here at CPAC.
00:33:26.420That was the trailer for the latest release from Angel Studios all about Mother Cabrini,
00:33:34.060one of the greatest women to ever walk the face of the earth.
00:33:38.400And it's coming out on International Women's Day, can you believe it or not?
00:33:41.800We've got the folks here that made the film from Angel Studios, Jordan Harmon and Andre Severino, the producer of the film.
00:33:49.240Guys, what made you, and I have to say, look, as a Roman Catholic, as someone who grew up in the Philly area where we have Cabrini College,
00:33:58.560Mother Cabrini is so incredibly important to us, the first U.S. citizen to become a canonized saint.
00:34:04.120This is someone, and also, by the way, just to, you know, I'm not Italian myself, but growing up in Philly with so many Italians that she is just, you know, it goes like, it's like for Italians that I'm, you know, I grew up with, it was like Christopher Columbus and then Mother Cabrini, you know what I mean?
00:34:17.840What made you, you know, tell me the story of how the film came to be.
00:34:22.800Thank you so much, Jack, for having us.
00:34:24.320And like you, I'm Catholic, but unlike you, I had no idea about Mother Cabrini.
00:34:29.240I didn't know who she was at all because I just wasn't exposed to her as a kid.
00:34:33.280And when the executive producer, Eustace Wolfenstein, who funded our first film, Bella, was also an executive producer on Sound of Freedom, when he approached me about this story, I thought, okay, it's going to be a film about a 19th century nun that no one really knows.
00:34:46.840And he's kind of like, you give a little faith, and then he explained to me, sent me a couple books on her life, and when I saw this incredible underdog story and the strength and the determination and the faith of this woman that touched millions of lives, changed countless people, and no one knows her name, I thought, we better do something about this.
00:35:05.660And this is a great example of how you've taken someone who's not just a Christian hero, but also an American hero, someone whose name and face and story touched the lives of so many, and yet because Hollywood isn't going to make a movie about her, because I'm sure no one's going to bring her up on International Women's Day, though of course you are counter-programming that, and we're doing it right now.
00:35:32.100Now, this is a great American immigrant, too, by the way, in addition to all these things, like she checks every box that you're supposed to check, and yet they won't talk about her.
00:35:42.160But when Mother Cabrini, when she passed, there was a Requiem Mass for her that was held in, it was so big, in Chicago, they had to get out Soldier Field with 100,000 people actually in attendance when she passed at this Mass.
00:36:00.040That's how powerful she was to not just, again, not just the Catholics, not just all Christians, but just to the people of this nation.
00:36:07.840Jordan, tell me something about how, through this film, you intend to impact culture, because I know that's so important for Angel Studios.
00:36:16.780100%, and one of the things, like our mission is to tell stories that amplify light, and obviously Leo and the director Alejandro Monteverde, they have done such a good job of encompassing this incredible woman.
00:36:27.900And by the way, just to say, not to let it pass, this is the same director as Sound of Freedom.
00:36:32.900100%, yes, and he stepped it up a level.
00:36:35.180Like, for those who love Sound of Freedom, you're going to absolutely love Cabrini.
00:36:39.500Right, because Sound of Freedom, that was made years ago.
00:36:42.480That was made a long, long time ago, and it sat on the shelf until Angel was able to come along and kind of resurrect it.
00:36:47.380Yes, and so this story shows incredible feats of the power of one, the power of an individual who was sickly, told she would die in a matter of years.
00:36:59.720She ended up building an empire of hope bigger than the Rockefellers or anybody that we've heard of today.
00:37:06.500Right, and she did it without waiting for government to come solve her problems, without waiting for, you know, assistance.
00:37:13.820She said, one of the quotes in the movie that I love is she says, begin the mission and the means will come.
00:37:22.140And as you watch the film, you're going to realize that everything the film is talking about are all the things that we're addressing today.
00:37:30.200But in bigger magnitudes, this film has the potential to heal a broken world, and it does it through love, and it is such an incredible movie.
00:37:41.060My wife and I finished watching it, and my wife said, this is my favorite thing that Angel Studios has ever done.
00:37:47.560You know, and I have to say it too, again, coming from, I grew up archdiocese of Philadelphia, and I was Catholic school the whole way through.
00:37:53.400And one thing that we had, we still had nuns in the schools, and we still had very strong religious orders, both male and female.
00:38:03.300And so on the female side, you have the nuns.
00:38:05.240But this is something that their numbers have been diminishing so much.
00:38:09.620And even when you go into Catholic schools, and the Catholic school system still exists, again, outside of government.
00:38:13.780And it exists as a way, as, you know, essentially you can have for that private schooling, which right now, it's so important to have a religious-based school because it's a bastion amidst this sea of secular insanity that's going on right now.
00:38:30.460And I've always found the nuns and the religious orders to be so important because, as you say, so many of these functions we've turned over to government, whether it be charity, whether it be education.
00:38:43.280We have this idea that, oh, you pay your taxes, the government will take care of it, the government will take care of it.
00:38:47.200Well, go and look at what the government has done with these false charities that turn into—
00:38:53.120You know, no, not a great track record to bringing kids across the border or indoctrinating children, fueling illegal immigration, all the government money that's gone into that.
00:39:03.200Whereas we're talking here, what she did totally disassociated from government.
00:39:07.840It was a charity-based, community-based organization, all based on the love of the lowest in society and putting their needs first.
00:39:17.100And she was an immigrant that put our country first.
00:39:23.420She taught the immigrants that came over the importance of learning the language of the country, learning the history of the United States and loving this country.
00:39:32.920And that is such a beautiful story and so important for today.
00:39:36.300In fact, it's reflected in the film, not to give anything away, but some of the cinematography.
00:39:40.860Gorka, our cinematographer, and Alejandro Montevete, our director, had an incredible vision.
00:39:44.460And one of the subtexts they have in there is kind of the story of the immigrant, but in a way that it's meant to be reflexive of the story of everyone in the United States.
00:39:55.940So there's kind of that duality of the immigrant.
00:39:57.720I know I'm the son of Colombian immigrants, where, you know, your heritage and your background is a certain culture, but you're living here in the United States.
00:40:05.880And you kind of have this duality to you, but it's a unified image.
00:40:11.440It's still one person that's living this experience, you know?
00:40:14.100So she really was able to not focus so much on immigration, but on the immigrant, and to do it in a way that was about not only patriotism to the United States, but dignity to the person, which are obviously hand in hand.
00:40:25.440We're coming up on a quick break, but when we come back, I want people to understand a little bit more about the system of how Angel chooses movies like this,
00:40:33.300and how people at home, as well as people who are here at CPAC, can get involved.
00:40:54.460I'm always listening to Human Events with Jack Posobiec.
00:40:58.800Alright, Jack Posobiec, we're back here.
00:41:00.720Final segment today here at Human Events Daily.
00:41:02.720We're with Angel Studios, and the movie is Cabrini.
00:41:06.740It's all about Mother Cabrini, an immigrant story, a woman's story, a story about charity, a story about helping the less fortunate in society,
00:41:16.180and doing so with the grace of God, because we put our faith in God, not in government.
00:41:20.660Jordan, tell me some more about how people can get involved, not just with this film, but really with the Angel Studios' mission,
00:41:27.800and the very unique factor and feature that you have in order to bring movies to light.
00:41:34.360Because you guys aren't the ones that choose the movies, are you?
00:41:37.760It's one of the things that was really important to us when we started this company,
00:41:41.240is we want to create a company that will last the next 100 or 200 years.
00:41:44.960And I want my children and my grandchildren, my great-grandchildren, to be watching content and films that amplify life throughout the world.
00:41:51.900And so what we did is we basically created what's called the Angel Guild,
00:41:55.480and it's 250,000 plus people and growing very rapidly who are the gatekeepers to the angel content.
00:42:03.180So Hollywood has five, ten executives in a room who make these $100 million decisions,
00:42:08.160and they're doing it in their own bubble.
00:42:11.440They don't understand what the world actually wants anymore.
00:42:13.640And what they put out is it's either junk or it's another sequel.
00:43:07.840And you have to put money into this thing.
00:43:09.620But we trust that our audience is actually going to pick better winners than executives ever would.
00:43:16.180And you can see all of our projects from our first original series with The Chosen all the way through to Sound of Freedom and His Only Son and Dry Bar Comedy and now Cabrini.
00:43:26.780All these projects, they have shown time and time again that when you listen to your audience, something amazing happens, Jack.
00:43:35.560So you mentioned to me once off air in a conversation, we met at America Fest, we had dinner, the importance of theater.
00:43:45.540And so while we know Angel has its streaming and its arrival to Netflix, it's much better than Netflix or any of those other series out there.
00:43:52.620We definitely don't have to talk about those platforms.
00:43:54.600And we all know the issues with Netflix.
00:43:56.440It's like Netflix and Google AI, I feel like they're all made by the same people, right?
00:44:30.520And he basically wrote an article that says, the sacrament of the cinema.
00:44:36.380And the principle behind this was, is that when you get a group of people communally experiencing something like Sound of Freedom or Cabrini,
00:44:45.480and they're basically removing all distractions, your cell phones, anybody, like all these distractions have been removed.
00:44:53.660And so you are fully engaged with the content that you're watching, the film that you're watching.
00:44:57.220That has the greatest impact on the hearts and minds of the world.
00:45:02.400And what people don't realize is this is a $750 billion industry.
00:45:07.220$50 billion of that is in the theaters.
00:47:23.980And I'll tell you, I was in tears at the end of Sound of Freedom.
00:47:27.600I was in tears at the end of The Shift.
00:47:29.840I do think I would say The Shift, if you watch that as a father, it hits you in a certain way because it's your deepest, darkest fear come to life and you're faced with it.
00:47:42.400But then it shows you that the only way, and you have to understand the only way to get through that is through accepting God and accepting God's will.
00:48:00.240You don't take a break and rest on your laurels a little bit.
00:48:02.240One of the things in the movie that Cabrini says is she tells her, all the people she's working with, is she says, we can rest when we're in heaven.
00:48:09.580And there is something special about saying, when you're doing something that you know is impacting the world and you can see that real-world impact,
00:48:17.680entertainment is what influences culture for the next 20, 30 years.
00:48:22.260And so all the things that are happening here, it's amazing.
00:48:25.720What Angel Studios is doing is some of the most important cultural work that's being done in the country and really in the world right now.
