00:00:25.820 The Poso Daily Brief.
00:00:30.000 This is what happens when the fourth turning meets fifth generation warfare.
00:00:39.780 A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran.
00:00:46.460 This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.
00:00:49.380 Deliver us from evil.
00:00:50.880 Not since President Lincoln and the Civil War have freedom and democracy been under assault at home as they are today.
00:00:57.420 What makes our moment rare is the freedom and democracy are under attack at both at home and overseas at the very same time.
00:01:08.140 Overseas, Putin of Russia is on the march, invading Ukraine and sowing chaos throughout Europe and beyond.
00:01:16.020 Republicans are on the wrong side of history.
00:01:19.080 They're on the wrong side of the polls.
00:01:21.200 They're on the wrong side of decency on so many of these questions.
00:01:25.280 I'm saying specifically on that front, Donald Trump.
00:01:28.860 I mean, last night, game, set, match to Joe Biden.
00:01:32.480 We now must beat the NRA again.
00:01:35.180 I'm demanding a ban on assault weapons and high capacity magazine.
00:01:39.080 It was an incredible night for the president.
00:01:41.060 And I don't know if the Republicans truly understood just how negative they looked.
00:01:48.680 All Americans deserve the freedom to be safe.
00:01:53.480 And America is safer today than when I took office.
00:01:56.660 The year before I took office, murder rates went up 30 percent.
00:02:00.580 30 percent they went up.
00:02:05.460 The biggest increase in history.
00:02:08.680 It was then.
00:02:10.820 You have four years of Biden and you have four years of Trump.
00:02:13.520 Compare the two when it comes to international stability, economic growth and border security.
00:02:18.940 People will be able to make their choice based on results and action.
00:02:24.900 Lincoln.
00:02:26.220 Lincoln Riley, an innocent young woman who was killed by an illegal.
00:02:32.220 That's right.
00:02:33.280 But how many of thousands of people being killed by legal?
00:02:36.060 Biden is on the run from his record and lying like crazy to try and escape accountability for the horrific devastation he and his party have created all the while they continue the very policies that are causing this horror show to go.
00:02:53.280 We cannot take it any longer as a country.
00:02:56.240 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily.
00:03:04.700 Today is March 8th, 2024.
00:03:07.960 Anno Domini.
00:03:09.300 Shout out to all the ladies out there. 1.00
00:03:11.080 International Women's Day.
00:03:13.020 Let me tell you something.
00:03:13.840 I watched that speech last night. 0.96
00:03:15.320 It was manic, dishonest, delusional, duplicitous.
00:03:20.100 And I tell you now, the main thing that whoever that person was giving the Republican response missed. 0.91
00:03:28.420 There's one name that I didn't hear coming out of your mouth.
00:03:33.000 One name that needs to be mentioned.
00:03:36.040 Because this man who's sitting there is an illegitimate president.
00:03:40.720 And the legitimate president of the United States is Donald J. Trump.
00:03:46.000 And he will return when he is victorious on November 5th.
00:03:50.880 Ladies and gentlemen, this is the last time you're ever going to have to hear Joe Biden up there for all that time.
00:03:58.900 Because DJT is coming back to USA.
00:04:03.640 Darren Beattie is with us in our studio, West Palm Beach.
00:04:07.020 Darren, I mean, there isn't much to say.
00:04:10.240 What did you think of the speech last night?
00:04:14.060 Well, I mean, to appropriate maybe the good adjectives from the response, it was doddering.
00:04:21.040 It was dithering.
00:04:22.460 It was completely underwhelming.
00:04:25.720 Although I think graded on a curve, and the curve is one in which basically he collapses mid-speech.
00:04:32.000 At least that was a very live possibility.
00:04:34.600 The fact that he didn't collapse.
00:04:36.540 The fact that he didn't have an accident in his pants, presumably.
00:04:39.420 The fact that he was able to muster enough energy to yell, albeit in very awkward moments.
00:04:46.880 I thought that that was at least a kind of measured success from his point.
00:04:52.920 So mixed results.
00:04:55.140 I think he basically ends up in a neutral position here.
00:04:59.820 The Democrats basically liked it enough.
00:05:02.980 He didn't have a disaster moment, which for him is basically a resounding success.
00:05:09.020 Darren, I couldn't agree more.
00:05:13.700 This was, honestly, when it comes down to it, I thought that his speech, in terms of its delivery, aside from the chokes and the coughs and the stuttering, it was mostly boring.
00:05:23.960 But it wasn't devoid of everything.
00:05:25.960 Because there was a huge, a huge point that came out.
00:05:32.740 And we're going to get into that here in the next segment.
00:05:35.320 Because he just announced that the United States military is getting involved and deploying to another Middle East war.
00:05:45.420 This is exactly the opposite of what we heard from President Trump.
00:05:48.960 This is the opposite of what the American people want.
00:05:51.480 This is the opposite of what the American people need.
00:05:53.620 This is the opposite of what people like Lakin Riley need.
00:05:57.900 We need a president back in office who puts America first.
00:06:03.220 And all the bureaucrats out there that don't want to put America first, get ready. 1.00
00:06:08.040 Your judgment will be swift.
00:06:10.800 Stay tuned.

00:07:42.680 Darren, we need to get into this announcement that Biden tried to slip into the State of the Union
00:07:52.020 the same way that he's allowed 13 million illegals to slip into this country, including gangs, 0.92
00:07:59.780 because we do now have the breaking news that the suspected murderer of Laken Reilly
00:08:05.680 was actually a member of one of these Venezuelan, these extremely violent Venezuelan gangs.
00:08:15.460 But claiming that because the humanitarian issues regarding Gaza are so great,
00:08:21.440 and it's obviously been such a political disaster for him in state after state,
00:08:27.380 not to mention Michigan and Minnesota, possibly North Virginia as well,
00:08:30.640 that he's been attempting to do this airlift of supplies into Gaza City.
00:08:36.560 This was a complete disaster, and people are actually killed by the supplies that were diving in,
00:08:41.840 that he's now announced that the United States Navy will apparently be conducting a maritime sea lift
00:08:49.660 of aid to Gaza City.
00:08:51.700 The only problem being that Gaza doesn't have a capable port for this.
00:08:55.960 And so he's now announcing the U.S. military will be building a temporary pier using units operating out of Cyprus
00:09:03.420 to put this thing together.
00:09:05.280 This plan is completely nuts.
00:09:08.320 It's certain.
00:09:10.060 I think at this point it would be certain to backfire, given not only the history of the region,
00:09:14.820 but the fact that you've got targets in the region, like the Houthis,
00:09:20.880 that are already using drones and kamikaze drones at a high rate across the Red Sea.
00:09:27.840 Certainly Hezbollah has these capabilities, as well as Hamas just simply wanting to from the start. 0.97
00:09:33.960 I wanted to also say, though, this is exactly how the Gulf of Tonkin incident happened,
00:09:39.420 that the United States military, the Navy was there, supposed to be there for these,
00:09:43.820 you know, for peacekeeping operations, et cetera, et cetera.
00:09:47.420 And when in actuality what was going on is that they were using those naval vessels
00:09:53.360 and those missions as a cover for covert operations.
00:09:56.520 This will clearly be used for covert operations.
00:09:58.780 We'll probably see refugees on the other end. 1.00
00:10:01.080 Walk me through some of the dangers of the United States getting involved in yet another Middle East war like this. 0.67
00:10:08.440 Well, a couple things on that.
00:10:11.760 First of all, I can't help but cling on to this fact that you presented,
00:10:18.600 that in early humanitarian efforts people were actually killed through various airlifts.
00:10:24.940 You can only imagine the irony of a Hamas operative who has survived the utter destruction visited on Gaza 0.73
00:10:33.840 only to perish when a bag of rice drops on his head.
00:10:38.140 So that is kind of a bizarre and ironic situation in the first place that I think exemplifies the bungling
00:10:46.040 that's become all too typical of anything associated with Biden and certainly anything foreign policy associated with Biden.
00:10:53.960 And I think the broader context for this alleged humanitarian, ramped up humanitarian effort,
00:11:02.360 it's really just the political fissure within the Democrat Party.
00:11:09.420 And in fact, we saw that last night with all the protesters who were outside trying to prevent this state of the union from even happening.
00:11:19.380 You see it come to the fore a bit.
00:11:23.000 But what people, I think, underestimate is just how much tension is simmering beneath the surface.
00:11:30.100 And that if Biden weren't a factor, if Biden were somehow removed,
00:11:34.280 all of these tensions would really come to the fore in a dramatic way,
00:11:38.540 because the Israel-Gaza thing is really just kind of, it really exemplifies pre-existing tensions that exist within the Democrat coalition
00:11:49.020 that are being sort of temporarily kept at bay, although we see spillover.
00:11:54.720 And of course, you know, Biden tries to thread that needle.
00:11:58.600 You saw in the speech, he began basically saying, you know, this is a horrible situation.
00:12:03.760 It was a horrible attack.
00:12:05.500 I'm the most, you know, pro-Israel president ever.
00:12:09.040 Basically, he said some version of that.
00:12:12.360 And he gave an explicit nod to some family of the hostages who are still being held.
00:12:19.320 But of course, you can't just leave it at that.
00:12:21.880 He has to finesse the issue.
00:12:24.360 He has to present some kind of semblance of balance,
00:12:28.600 because you have a lot of the Democrat base frothing at the mouth.
00:12:33.100 And they're even frothing at people like AOC,
00:12:35.660 as I'm sure many watching this have seen the video clip of AOC being harassed coming out.
00:12:41.500 I think she was watching Dune 2 or maybe some other movie,
00:12:44.540 and she was being harassed by unhinged activists who think that she's not sufficiently anti-Israel, pro-Palestine.
00:12:52.820 So if she's getting heat, you can imagine the kind of pressure on someone like Biden.
00:12:58.360 And so I see this humanitarian thing.
00:13:01.140 It makes zero sense from a geopolitical perspective.
00:13:05.260 As you point out, it's only going to make things worse.
00:13:07.480 It's only another attack surface that increases the likelihood of a broader conflagration.
00:13:13.660 And all it really is is for this one-liner to present a semblance of balance
00:13:19.640 to assuage the increasingly frenetic elements of the base
00:13:24.680 that think that Biden's been too accommodating to Israel.
00:13:27.860 So it's a great example of a huge foreign policy risk and really mistake,
00:13:35.660 but it's a foreign policy mistake being made not on foreign policy terms,
00:13:41.340 but with domestic considerations in mind is my view.
00:13:46.500 That's certainly right.
00:13:47.840 And what can I say?
00:13:49.920 It absolutely wouldn't be the first time that a U.S. president had used the ordering of troops
00:13:56.740 into some, again, Middle Eastern conflict in an election year
00:14:02.520 to try to try to bolster their flagging polls, or in this case, not only that, but also to bolster the coalition.
00:14:10.900 By the way, that Gulf of Tonkin incident, 1964, the summer of 1964.
00:14:17.180 So this is just a couple of months after the assassination of JFK and the first time that LBJ was up for his own election,
00:14:27.860 which would turn out to be his only election, his one, I guess we can say, his one official term in office.
00:14:35.940 And I just, I can't get away from it.
00:14:39.060 The parallels to this are so incredible.
00:14:42.480 It's also, it reminds me of Jimmy Carter and the Desert One mission where he authorized and ordered this,
00:14:49.420 actually, before JSOC got set up, and this is really kind of the origin story of JSOC,
00:14:54.940 was this failure to retrieve the Iranian hostages.
00:14:57.960 Again, to your point, another failed hostage mission where covert action was used with cover to attempt to get people out.
00:15:06.620 I mean, it would not surprise me.
00:15:08.600 It honestly wouldn't surprise me if they tried to push, or the guys at DevGrew, Steel Team 6,
00:15:14.520 were trying to push for some attempted hostage rescue.
00:15:16.960 I'm sure, by the way, in good faith, trying to work with this.
00:15:21.020 The IDF, of course, a close partner of U.S. military.
00:15:24.400 That being said, certainly IDF is very capable on their own.
00:15:30.280 And so this isn't like some African country partner force.
00:15:33.960 You know, this is a very serious special forces there.
00:15:37.500 And so if there were to be any joint mission, I would certainly imagine that IDF had the operational control of it.
00:15:45.540 Yes, that's quite likely.
00:15:46.920 So indeed, there's probably some kind of covert plan behind this pretext.
00:15:54.340 But I would still say the driving force of things really is the domestic political consideration
00:16:02.540 and maintaining a lid as much as possible on this simmering tension that is only intensified
00:16:11.640 between the kind of aggravated, youthful elements of the base who don't think that Biden has done enough
00:16:20.420 to be pro-Palestine, I suppose, and Biden's other considerations,
00:16:26.980 which is, of course, to maintain proper relations and alliance with Israel.
00:16:33.040 So this, I think, is a really serious tension within the Democrat Party,
00:16:37.840 and not just a tension with respect to that Israel-Palestine issue specifically,
00:16:43.060 but that kind of is representative of a deeper fissure, I think,
00:16:48.340 and a reckoning that ultimately will have to take place.
00:16:51.420 But Biden, for all of his bungling, maybe the best value, the best service he offers the Democrats
00:16:58.900 is he allows them to kick the can down the road just a little bit,
00:17:03.300 because he's accepted, he's familiar, he's kind of a compromised legacy candidate.
00:17:08.860 But if he were to, God forbid, you know, have a stroke or something, then he's gone,
00:17:13.560 then all of these factions would come to the fore,
00:17:16.160 and the Israel-Palestine thing would be a huge issue in determining what comes next.
00:17:21.200 And, of course, we've seen time and time again where the Biden administration,
00:17:28.040 they've dispatched Roquehanna to Michigan, Dearborn, Michigan.
00:17:31.200 They've dispatched multiple individuals to areas throughout Minnesota.
00:17:35.680 And there's a certain irony there, and we're coming up on our break,
00:17:38.600 but there's an absolute irony there that these refugee communities were put in place 0.96
00:17:44.860 in predominantly the Midwest because of the Obama administration policies
00:17:50.200 to just basically dump asylum seekers and refugees from the Middle East 1.00
00:17:56.040 into these parts of the Midwest.
00:17:57.840 This is where we get Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, 0.93
00:18:00.100 and now suddenly they don't support the policies that your administration
00:18:04.540 and your coalition stand for.
00:18:06.280 Literally every conservative told you that this would happen, but here we are.
00:18:10.400 We'll be right back. Darren Beatty next.
00:18:14.400 Today, you know, they talk about influencers.
00:18:16.880 These are influencers, and they're friends of mine, Jack Prasovic.

00:19:26.400 Darren, one of the more, I think, jarring moments of the night, probably the only real,
00:19:32.240 I guess, disaster moment that you could say for Biden was the, I shouldn't use this word,
00:19:38.980 the butchering of the name of Laken Riley, a girl who had been butchered herself at the hands
00:19:46.740 of Biden's own policies.
00:19:49.380 This situation where would have been a very strong moment for him, and I said this on
00:19:55.360 a Twitter spaces this morning, that it would have been very strong for him to simply show
00:20:01.380 that he was representing all Americans.
00:20:03.300 Obviously, Laken Riley was not a conservative or a Republican or some political representative,
00:20:09.220 shouldn't partisan in any way.
00:20:10.600 She was an American.
00:20:11.320 She was a nursing student. 0.92
00:20:12.600 And it would have been very strong for him to just come out and say some moment, you know,
00:20:17.360 some question to her family.
00:20:18.620 But instead, we hear about IVF users, and we hear about the woman who desperately needed
00:20:24.300 an abortion, and she had to leave Texas and all of these things. 0.99
00:20:27.960 And certainly, the Democrats are very desperate to make the 2024 election about that.
00:20:33.200 But unfortunately, because of these incidents, like what happened to Laken Riley, death at
00:20:37.680 the hands of what seems to be now a Venezuelan gang member, this was a huge faceplant moment 0.87
00:20:46.040 for Biden, something where I, again, I said before, I would have loved if J.D. Vance had
00:20:51.340 given the response.
00:20:53.500 But given that the border is now such a powerful issue in the country, do you think that this
00:21:02.980 really gives Republicans and President Trump the upper hand?
00:21:05.500 Well, I think they have the upper hand for many reasons.
00:21:10.680 That is to say, Trump and the Republicans, I certainly think that any ordinary Americans
00:21:15.980 who see the situation, who understand, even, you know, in parts, what's going on in the
00:21:21.940 border, are scandalized by it.
00:21:24.120 I mean, it's really a disaster.
00:21:25.680 It should, frankly, transcend political affiliations.
00:21:30.180 This is existential stuff that gets to not what kind of country we are, but the question
00:21:37.720 of whether we are even a country in any meaningful sense.
00:21:44.280 In fact, the border situation is so disastrous that I think a lot of people want to look away
00:21:50.060 from it.
00:21:50.540 It's always been sort of an interesting aspect in media that a lot of border stories actually
00:21:56.920 don't get the kind of attention that even sort of inner-city crime stories do.
00:22:02.300 And one explanation offered for that that I find fairly persuasive is the border stuff
00:22:07.480 is simply so demoralizing because it's going on, it's been going on for so long, and now
00:22:12.600 it's so bad, and it doesn't seem like the system is really set up to correct it at all.
00:22:18.400 And in the case of Biden, they're actively inviting it, enthusiastically inviting it.
00:22:24.120 They're pouring in, and you don't need tragic situations like this poor nursing student who 1.00
00:22:29.960 is butchered.
00:22:31.060 Think about, you know, just even not the tragedies like that.
00:22:34.000 Just think about the fact that we're putting them up in five-star hotels.
00:22:39.020 Think of the burden on the taxpayers.
00:22:41.160 And I know a lot of these are in, you know, cities, and we could say, okay, well, you know,
00:22:45.040 just make New York City even crappier.
00:22:47.300 But ultimately, it's still the country.
00:22:49.880 It's still our country that we want to present, and to have them come in and to treat them 0.57
00:22:55.520 with this kind of red carpet luxury that is so far away from the experience of most citizens, 1.00
00:23:04.820 it's simply unfathomable.
00:23:08.600 The situation on the border is unfathomable.
00:23:11.500 And it's an unfathomable disgrace for our leadership, all the way up to the top.
00:23:19.200 And obviously, that would be Biden.
00:23:21.660 And so I certainly think that this should be exploited electorally.
00:23:27.240 But I think there's a demoralized sense in people that ultimately, more or less, this
00:23:32.740 isn't going to be fixed.
00:23:34.100 The system doesn't allow it.
00:23:35.700 Can we even imagine the Republicans mustering the will to do what would need to be done
00:23:43.560 to really correct the issue after so long of all of these people pouring in?
00:23:49.020 And remember, their kids are all legal citizens.
00:23:52.880 It's not even the legal part, the illegal part.
00:23:56.820 Anytime they have a kid, that becomes a citizen.
00:24:00.740 He mentioned Dreamers in the speech. 0.93
00:24:01.780 Yeah.
00:24:02.740 Yeah.
00:24:03.560 It was very brief.
00:24:04.360 Not a lot of people have picked up on this, but he did mention Dreamers.
00:24:07.340 And I think he, I don't think he said pathway to citizenship, but he said pathway to legalization
00:24:12.800 of, it was very quick.
00:24:14.460 And there was a lot going on at the time.
00:24:16.220 Well, there's the Dreamer issue.
00:24:17.860 Yeah.
00:24:18.440 There's the Dreamer issue.
00:24:19.680 That's a scandal in its own right.
00:24:21.320 But I'm simply talking about the fact that the legals, when they're here and they have
00:24:25.440 kids, they don't even have to be Dreamers because they're automatically citizens.
00:24:29.200 So it's like, ultimately, the problem is like, yes, we have a certain amount of illegals, 0.99
00:24:35.080 but the generational problem is all of their offspring, simply by virtue of being born on
00:24:42.000 U.S. soil, they automatically become citizens.
00:24:44.520 And there's a reason they call them anchor babies.
00:24:46.700 That anchors the whole family and titles them to all of the benefits, the social benefits,
00:24:52.100 the welfare benefits.
00:24:53.220 It's hard to imagine how all of this is sustainable, yet it's been going on for decades and getting
00:24:58.620 far, far worse, far, far worse under Biden.
00:25:03.400 So really, like the border situation is so existentially bad that I think people have
00:25:10.200 difficulty even processing it, which prevents people from paying enough attention to it that
00:25:15.500 it really deserves.
00:25:16.500 It's just really overwhelming when you get into the true nature of what's been going on and
00:25:21.400 how long it's been going on.
00:25:24.040 Well, and this for me was, and I credit to Katie Britt for making a lot of her comments
00:25:30.980 about the border, centering a lot of her comments about the border.
00:25:33.920 But what I would say that the one piece of the Republican response that I think was missed
00:25:39.440 and left on the table was that certainly we can catalog and all of the ills of the Biden
00:25:46.040 administration, we can describe the mess that's going on right now.
00:25:49.140 Even Biden himself, by the way, in response to the invocation of Lake and Riley, he totally
00:25:54.860 steps in it and says, hey, we've got thousands of people that are being killed by legals too.
00:25:59.780 It's like, that's not a good response, brother.
00:26:03.220 That's not, you know, grandpa, that's not exactly the way you should respond to this.
00:26:07.160 But the piece of it is, though, as a party response, what you need to be offering is an
00:26:14.580 alternative and a solution.
00:26:16.680 That is the reason for engaging in politics as an enterprise to begin with.
00:26:22.120 And that's where not invoking the name of Donald Trump, not saying we have a candidate on the
00:26:28.680 ballot and a message who is going to come forward and say, and it's very simple.
00:26:33.040 We don't want this to be a referendum election on IVF or abortion.
00:26:37.900 We want this very much to be a referendum on mass deportations, not just the wall, not
00:26:43.600 just the wall.
00:26:44.080 The wall's baked in, the wall's priced in, the wall was 2016.
00:26:47.040 We didn't get the wall all the way finished and, you know, people tried to build it and
00:26:50.700 they want to put Steve Bannon in jail over that.
00:26:53.060 But no, no, now it's mass deportations because we didn't get the wall.
00:26:56.920 The issue was exacerbated.
00:26:58.520 And it's very simple.
00:26:59.900 I think that if President Trump continues to push that, and to his credit, he certainly
00:27:05.280 has in almost every one of his recent some speeches.
00:27:08.960 I mentioned it at CPAC.
00:27:10.060 Stephen Miller's outspoken on it.
00:27:12.760 And I think that when it comes to the Senate right now, there's a number of bills that are
00:27:17.500 up for the funding of the government.
00:27:19.600 It's quite simple.
00:27:20.560 Shut down the border or shut down the government.
00:27:22.560 That's number one.
00:27:23.460 And number two, you must put mass deportations on the agenda.
00:27:28.860 Darren, do you think that if Trump is able to use that like he used the wall, you know,
00:27:33.900 even we're going to deport them and make them make them pay for it themselves or something
00:27:38.000 like that, it would get the same kind of traction that the wall did in 2016?
00:27:43.020 You know, that's a great that's a really great question.
00:27:46.340 I think, you know, I've been always a huge proponent of the wall.
00:27:49.320 I think it's common sense.
00:27:50.580 It's effective.
00:27:51.720 But in another way, a wall is really symbolic.
00:27:57.100 Its significance is symbolic.
00:27:59.720 In terms of actual effective enforcement, I think you have to focus on interior enforcement.
00:28:06.880 And one dimension of that would be deportations.
00:28:10.120 But I think, you know, just because the problem is so overwhelming and really so offensive that
00:28:15.820 people sometimes assume that the solution has to be the most kind of controversial rhetorically,
00:28:26.080 when I think a lot could be done simply by enforcement mechanisms, employment enforcement
00:28:34.380 and mechanisms, have a real e-verify type system and don't pay for their five star hotels.
00:28:41.100 If the government social services didn't pay them any money and if they were not able to
00:28:46.620 work, you know, it's kind of trite.
00:28:49.180 But I think the self deportation would do a lot of the work for it.
00:28:53.600 And then in addition to that, we could provide some assistance for those who haven't helped
00:28:58.300 themselves.
00:28:58.760 But people underestimate the power of self deportation and think, oh, we need all of these crazy things.
00:29:09.940 We need to round them up and throw them out.
00:29:11.700 And any serious country should be willing to do that and has the right to do that.
00:29:16.160 But if you start with just the basics, like that's how crazy the situation is.
00:29:21.140 We don't even need to get to that level yet.
00:29:23.320 We can simply say, if you're not here legally, the system is such that you can't work.
00:29:29.400 And if you're here, we're not going to pay for you to stay at the Roosevelt Hotel indefinitely.
00:29:34.180 Just those two things alone.
00:29:37.340 On the Lake and Riley situation, I know we have a quick break here, that when investigating
00:29:42.320 the alleged murderer in Lake and Riley's case, it turns out that his brother was working,
00:29:48.180 I believe, either at one of the universities that was down there that were involved in this.
00:29:51.660 He was working there and they fired him because they found that he had a fake green card.
00:29:57.420 It's like, wait a minute.
00:29:59.140 Why couldn't you just check that through E-Verify to begin with?
00:30:03.520 And why do you have a Venezuelan gang member, gangbanger working at a university cook room? 0.96
00:30:09.900 This is how bad the situation is.
00:30:11.980 But it actually, on the other hand, also shows us that if we, as you say, if we just switch
00:30:16.520 on these enforcement mechanisms a little bit, just a little bit, that we'll immediately
00:30:21.940 start getting the deportations turned on much faster than people realize.
00:30:27.080 And as you say, some people will have to be helped.
00:30:30.040 And Jack, where is Jack?
00:30:36.700 Where is Jack?
00:30:39.020 Where is he?

00:32:14.300 Darren Beattie, you're not someone who's been ever wary to speak on the issue of January 6th.
00:32:23.020 And yes, neither was Joe Biden last night.
00:32:26.340 He brought it up again and again throughout the speech, probably even as many times as
00:32:31.440 he brought up Ukraine or Israel.
00:32:33.380 It really seems like he's trying to put January 6th on the ballot, isn't he?
00:32:39.580 That's a great question.
00:32:41.380 And my answer would be yes and no.
00:32:43.480 He's certainly trying to highlight the significance of January 6th.
00:32:47.440 And I think it's important to speak a little bit about the background here.
00:32:50.720 Because sometimes, you know, we have groundbreaking stuff on January 6th, and we're very close
00:32:55.400 to the finish line on the pipe bomb.
00:32:57.220 Everyone's asking me, when's the follow-up piece?
00:32:59.800 It's taken a while, but that's because there's a lot there.
00:33:02.640 So stay tuned and keep checking Revolver News.
00:33:05.460 It's going to be there in the coming, probably next week.
00:33:09.780 But it's still relevant all these years later.
00:33:13.920 And it's not relevant because I'm talking about it.
00:33:16.120 Of course, we want justice for the political prisoners who are still wallowing away, in
00:33:20.760 many cases, in solitary confinement and such.
00:33:23.480 But it's relevant because the Democrats continue to make it an issue, not just as the pretext
00:33:29.860 to weaponize the national security state against the American people, but the legal pretext
00:33:36.500 that they've used to remove Trump from ballots.
00:33:40.260 They're counting on January 6th as a means to defeat Trump through extracurricular practices.
00:33:51.480 So when you say, are they trying to put January 6th on the ballot?
00:33:54.680 Yes and no.
00:33:55.840 January 6th and the false fedsurrection narrative behind it, and specifically that Trump was somehow
00:34:01.740 involved, that is the cornerstone of the legal pretext they're using to remove the question
00:34:10.900 from the democratic process entirely.
00:34:13.560 So it's a way for them to circumvent the ballot more so than it's a question for the ballot.
00:34:19.380 And I think it's complementary in that sense to the abortion issue, which is very much a
00:34:25.840 ballot and mobilization issue for them.
00:34:28.180 And so their strategy is really two-pronged.
00:34:31.740 It's a lawfare strategy aimed at undermining Trump through extracurricular means, taking
00:34:39.300 him off the ballot, throwing these phony criminal charges and civil suits at him, and January 6th
00:34:46.220 and the false narrative behind it is a major pillar of that.
00:34:50.040 So that's one aspect.
00:34:51.940 Then the other aspect, which is more of the ballot issue, the retail issue, the mobilization
00:34:57.280 issue is the abortion issue.
00:34:59.640 And you saw that in the way that Biden talked about it.
00:35:02.520 He said something like, oh, in fact, he directly addressed the Supreme Court and said basically,
00:35:09.140 oh, you know, you're about to find out how much political power women have, you know, 1.00
00:35:13.080 come November because they're all going to be riled up about the abortion issue.
00:35:18.680 And I think on that, you know, he's right that it is very much an electoral issue that they're
00:35:23.180 trying to focus on.
00:35:24.980 So we'll see how successful that is.
00:35:27.460 But really, it's the two-pronged strategy, extracurricular, legal, January 6th, ballot,
00:35:35.280 retail, abortion, or what they would call pro-choice.
00:35:39.380 And so when we, or women's rights as well, and to that, in that vein, we have this Republican
00:35:47.200 response, which is given, I think, an attempt to sort of lean in on that.
00:35:53.440 Obviously, Republicans playing identity politics here the same way they have been doing.
00:35:58.380 Ann Coulter actually mentioned in her column today that this is the ninth consecutive State
00:36:02.700 of the Union response.
00:36:03.600 So that means nine years in a row, or I should say nine years when a Democrat was president,
00:36:09.360 in the Republicans giving a response that either went to a female or a minority.
00:36:15.940 And this obviously was brought up again and again in terms of it.
00:36:20.540 I'd said before I would have loved if President Trump's name had been brought up as a way as
00:36:24.920 a solution to the problems, not just describing the problems and telling us how emotionally involved
00:36:31.280 you are in the problems and how much it affects you as a mother and all of these things.
00:36:35.360 Sure, we get it.
00:36:35.880 We got it.
00:36:36.660 But also, you know, to a greater extent, the fact that, you know, you do have these other
00:36:43.420 issues out there that I think could have been addressed in a different way and that we have
00:36:49.120 an alternate candidate.
00:36:50.160 His name is Donald Trump.
00:36:51.580 What is your sense of the Republican response?
00:36:54.360 Well, you know, it's great.
00:36:55.680 And it's so true about affirmative action. 0.96
00:36:57.720 You know, a lot of people on the right, you know, when they think about affirmative action,
00:37:01.920 they think about, you know, Harvard and universities and maybe corporate settings and so forth.
00:37:07.120 But the real truth is that no institution practices affirmative action more clumsily, egregiously, 0.70
00:37:16.920 and enthusiastically than the Republican Party and even a lot of conservative institutions.
00:37:24.940 And this is a perfect example of it.
00:37:28.280 And in fact, the State of the Union response is a particularly viable place for that type
00:37:35.920 of display because it's really sort of like a nothing, you know, figurehead type of gesture.
00:37:44.180 We were talking this on the break, is that I can't think of the last time or any time,
00:37:50.440 frankly, that a State of the Union response has sort of been anyone's big breakout moment
00:37:57.360 politically.
00:37:57.900 I can think of, you know, convention speeches and things like that.
00:38:01.880 But the State of the Union response sort of built into the structure of it, it's going
00:38:06.140 to be kind of lame and underwhelming.
00:38:08.360 And for that reason, I think it's actually maybe a blessing in disguise that, you know,
00:38:12.940 someone more serious that I like tremendously, like J.D. Vance wasn't giving it, because it
00:38:18.380 is kind of like an offhand, OK, here you go, because you're not serious.
00:38:22.500 That's that's the kind of hidden pretext from being for being offered that to begin with.
00:38:28.180 And also, I thought, yeah, it's bizarre that there was no mention of no mention of Trump
00:38:32.620 from Biden and the response.
00:38:35.620 And, you know, look, he's the he's the frontrunner by far.
00:38:38.420 He's the most popular guy.
00:38:39.740 He's the linchpin of the whole party.
00:38:41.500 And he's not given credit for the quite successful under, you know, face a lot of challenges and
00:38:48.480 pushback.
00:38:48.980 But compared to Biden, he was extremely successful on the border and a lot of the other dimensions
00:38:55.580 that were mentioned.
00:38:56.640 So I think the response was good.
00:38:58.720 But it hits some, you know, relevant issues, crime, border.
00:39:03.020 I like to see that the whole context of it was kind of underwhelming.
00:39:07.880 And the delivery was, frankly, kind of a caricature.
00:39:11.240 It was comical.
00:39:12.420 You know, I think you've used the term theater, kid.
00:39:14.720 To me, it hit me like I was watching an audition for like a B-rate soap opera.
00:39:21.560 Yeah, I saw a tweet about this that's been going around today where, you know, I saw it
00:39:29.460 on Twitter.
00:39:29.940 So, of course, it must be true that that they said the Las Vegas bookers aren't even allowing
00:39:36.100 people to put odds on whether or not SNL is going to do a sketch of this because it's
00:39:43.060 just a complete certainty.
00:39:44.560 And that's nothing against Senator Britz personally, I don't think anyone has any personal issues.
00:39:52.840 But, yeah.
00:39:53.580 No, she's fine.
00:39:54.540 She's charming.
00:39:55.240 She's photogenic.
00:39:56.300 And that counts for a lot.
00:39:57.420 Maybe that counts for more, you know, overwhelms all the other factors.
00:40:01.160 But watching it, I did.
00:40:02.540 And she doesn't usually deliver a speeches like this. 1.00
00:40:05.020 Right.
00:40:05.340 It was overdone.
00:40:06.560 It was like when someone's given a certain song and then every woman wants to sing it 1.00
00:40:12.840 like Whitney Houston or Mariah Carey, you know, there was that clumsy, clumsy mismatch
00:40:19.180 between, you know, what she was saying and the actual delivery of it.
00:40:23.020 And, frankly, I did kind of feel sorry for whatever poor guy had to write that speech
00:40:27.260 for her.
00:40:27.600 As a former speechwriter myself, I can imagine.
00:40:30.920 I see the themes, you know.
00:40:32.060 We want to, the kitchen table needs to be the star of the show here. 1.00
00:40:35.760 But it's all there.
00:40:36.720 It just, it didn't land very well.
00:40:38.940 Oh, no.
00:40:39.680 Too many, too many cooks in the kitchen, perhaps. 0.82
00:40:42.900 We'll be talking about some people who popped out of the kitchen here in the next segment.
00:40:46.460 Tom Sauer joining us.
00:40:50.760 I'm always listening to Human Events with Jen. 0.97
00:40:52.880 He's a criminal.
00:40:54.120 He is telling our future right in front of our lives. 0.98
00:40:58.180 Come on, JD.
00:40:59.080 Face us.
00:40:59.940 In the class.
00:41:00.620 That's criminal.
00:41:01.460 Face us.
00:41:02.040 Compromising.
00:41:02.980 Face us.
00:41:03.960 Our fossil fuels.
00:41:05.140 All fossil fuels.
00:41:07.100 Get our fossil fuels.
00:41:07.140 Get our fossil fuels.
00:41:08.980 We should not forget that it's a taste.
00:41:11.320 All fossil fuels.
00:41:12.520 All fossil fuels.
00:41:14.520 And to declare the richness and sacred we will say as we drink and eat together.
00:41:20.600 All fossil fuels.
00:41:22.040 Remind us, oh God, that the wine that we do is a wine that marries in our hearts.
00:41:28.180 All fossil fuels. 1.00
00:41:29.600 And that the voices of fools will perish. 1.00
00:41:32.220 All fossil fuels. 1.00
00:41:33.560 All potassium.
00:41:34.220 You will say Denn, how about that?
00:41:35.560 I will peace within the heat with the mercy of the Army
00:41:43.640 in the presence of his heavenly peace.
00:41:44.140 Get our fossil fuels.
00:41:45.700 All right, Jack, so we hear back live. So what you just saw was an event from American
00:42:13.980 moment that I attended a couple of nights ago in D.C. where Senator J.D. Vance was speaking,
00:42:23.400 where David Sachs, the great David Sachs, received an award from the organization American Moment.
00:42:29.040 The gala was called the Gala for American Statecraft. Incredible, super excited to be
00:42:34.020 invited. And that was Tom Sauer, a United States Navy EOD vet, and myself, the first
00:42:43.300 two to pop up out of our seats when these, you know, this commie riffraff popped out of the, 1.00
00:42:50.160 you know, sort of service room, you know, door, started protesting Vance. Tom gets up and just
00:42:56.960 starts tossing them out the door. Tom joins us now. Tom, what did you think other than,
00:43:03.440 you know, abject rage when you saw them come in there?
00:43:05.740 Um, I'll be honest. Hey, first, thanks. Thanks for having me on. Good to see you again, buddy.
00:43:11.980 Uh, honestly, I was kind of excited. I shouldn't say that. I got a little bit, I could tell because
00:43:18.420 I got really pissed off because I'm very dear friends like you are with Sraab and Nick and Sam
00:43:25.300 and all the guys at American Moment. Love J.D. Love Dave Sachs were there. And this is like a really big
00:43:30.420 event for them. They put a ton of work into, and then they decide to interrupt it in the middle
00:43:35.260 of the invocation at the very beginning when Yuri Brito was given the prayer in the middle of the
00:43:41.200 prayer. My opinion was like, F you guys do not care. You're getting tossed. And then, um, the one
00:43:49.400 young guy, the one, um, I guess there are a couple of Ukrainian guys that were there. The one that got
00:43:54.780 physical with me and threw a couple of slaps at me or whatever. And I may or may not have returned the
00:43:58.980 favor off camera. But the thing is, is like, he wanted me to hit him. He kept sticking his chin 0.54
00:44:04.580 out, man. It was really strange. Anyways, threw him out. I got a little scratch. It was nothing.
00:44:09.800 But when it was over, I was like excited because I hadn't been in a fight in years or, and it wasn't
00:44:14.500 really much of a fight. It was hardly anything more happened off camera. You can't quite see that,
00:44:18.700 but whatever. I was excited. I had a little adrenaline rush. And I even thought I said to Natalie,
00:44:23.640 and I think I sent it over to you at the stable, Jack. I'm like, can they come back? I just wanted to come back.
00:44:27.940 No, you actually tweeted that, by the way. That was great. It was fun. It was a highlight of the evening.
00:44:32.200 No, I remember when I got up, when you got, when you came in front of me,
00:44:35.020 I actually put my hand on your shoulder and it wasn't like trying to get you out of my way or
00:44:38.660 something. I was kind of being like, like, Tom, I wasn't worried about, uh, uh, worry for you.
00:44:46.380 I was worried about what you might do to them. It's like, no, no, no, no, no, no, Tom. It's okay.
00:44:52.100 We'll be, we'll be all right. But it was Darren. It was fine. I want to, I want to get Darren here real quick.
00:44:57.340 Little blood, little blood, little blood. I may have had a couple, a couple of elbows that got in
00:45:02.180 there. Darren, is this the energy that we need going into 2024? I said something about this is,
00:45:09.500 this isn't the old right. We don't call the cops. Um, there is this tendency on the old right to sort
00:45:15.460 of, Oh, we view them as good people who just don't understand the unintended consequences of their
00:45:22.080 decisions, et cetera, et cetera. Uh, but when we're faced with, you know, abject communists 0.97
00:45:26.800 like this, should we treat them in good faith or should we give them the boot?
00:45:32.040 Well, obviously don't treat them in good faith. It's, it's remarkable to me that if anything is
00:45:37.020 going to get you riled up to the point of causing that type of disturbance, it's about fossil fuels. I
00:45:43.180 can't imagine getting so emotionally attached to the issue of fossil fuels one way or another. So it's a very
00:45:48.800 bizarre mechanism there. Um, and yes, you know, congratulations for getting rid of them. If
00:45:54.640 anything, you know, it should be a little bit more, um, uh, vigorous as a response. I think we can all
00:46:01.840 take a cue from, I think it was Joe Manchin or his security people. I think they, uh, paved the way
00:46:08.200 forward for, um, for how to deal with these people. But, um, yeah, it's, it's just nasty. It's
00:46:14.760 disruptive. It's stupid. Um, and it shouldn't be tolerated. It's like, but I'm just waiting. 1.00
00:46:22.400 I'm just waiting for the left to try to portray this as like, um, our, uh, Altamont concert.
00:46:31.200 Oh, no, no, there was a, there was a Brookings, um, you know, there was a Brookings, uh, consultant
00:46:38.180 or some such thing who quote, quote, tweeted my video and said, look at how activism escalates
00:46:45.220 into aggression. And, you know, it was putting this. So I, I quote tweeted her. I said, look
00:46:49.900 at how, look at how Brookings is paid to gaslight when we can see who the aggressors are here.
00:46:56.200 And I said, by the way, that wasn't Tom Sauer being aggressive. That was Tom being nice.
00:47:01.000 I was being nice. It's true. And here's something crazy guys. I'm not sure if, uh, everyone knows
00:47:07.520 this. Those or those people, that group, they tried to buy tickets to the event, which was not
00:47:13.760 cheap. I mean, all around like several thousand dollars to get multiple tickets to that event,
00:47:18.620 right? It was a donor event. And, uh, the very clever people at American Moment didn't recognize
00:47:24.560 the name, did a little bit of homework, promptly rejected the tickets, refunded the money. I wish
00:47:29.040 they hadn't refunded the money, but that's, I think they tried to get in that way to get seats
00:47:33.040 at the event. And when that didn't work, uh, they got let in somehow through the kitchen
00:47:36.660 in the back. And then I wondered to myself, there's several thousand dollars.
00:47:39.640 I'm a theory that somebody at the hotel might, uh, not, not to cast aspersions, but it was kind
00:47:44.220 of interesting to see how they got into that service, uh, that service area. We only got a minute
00:47:49.100 left in the show. Tom, where can people go to follow you? Um, you find me on Twitter at
00:47:53.860 Thomas B Sauer. I was here in DC, uh, for a few days here strictly to advocate for veterans,
00:47:58.780 mental health, and addiction treatment, uh, through the VA. So that's my, uh, the primary
00:48:02.900 reason I was here, but also to visit with, uh, you and Tanya and, uh, and our good friends
00:48:07.320 at American Moment. Amen. It's been, it's been a minute. People don't realize that Tom and
00:48:11.580 I actually served together when we were in the Navy. He was bomb Navy bomb squad and I was
00:48:15.460 his weenie Intel officer. Darren Beattie, where can people go to follow you? I let you say it,
00:48:19.220 not me. Revolver.news. Revolver.news, the hottest, the edgiest, the most dangerous
00:48:27.780 website in America. Ladies and gentlemen, as always, you have my permission to lay a shoe.
