Supplemental funding will ensure Putin faces some nasty surprises on the battlefield.
00:00:58.820
Friday evening in Moscow, when four ISIS-K terrorists armed with automatic weapons shot their way into a concert hall at a shopping complex.
00:01:09.240
More than 135 men, women and children slaughtered, hundreds more injured.
00:01:15.000
We have anti-terrorist measures introduced in Moscow and in Moscow region.
00:01:20.900
What's critical right now is to make sure that those who are behind this bloodbath are not allowed to do so again.
00:01:28.940
Instead of dealing with his Russian citizens and addressing them, Putin was silent for the whole day, thinking about how to link the attack to Ukraine.
00:01:38.840
Air raid sirens sounded in Kyiv after a wave of Russian missile strikes against Ukraine on Sunday.
00:01:45.300
Residents made their way into subway stations to seek shelter.
00:01:48.800
Kyiv said the airstrikes struck critical infrastructure in western Ukraine.
00:01:52.740
All of this, I think, is an absolutely measured attack by Russia, just ramping up pressure on Ukraine.
00:01:57.580
Poland's armed forces say one of the Russian missiles actually passed through Polish airspace.
00:02:04.860
Yeah, one that we hear reports that the Polans are identifying that one missile did pass through their airspace.
00:02:14.240
The company, Digital World Acquisition Corporation, has agreed to merge with Trump Media, which owns Truth Social.
00:02:26.380
The deal could bring an estimated $3 billion for the former president.
00:02:29.800
A state appeals court judge has just granted Trump's request to stay the $464 million judgment in his New York civil fraud case.
00:02:39.440
The court has granted him 10 days to pay a reduced bond of $175 million.
00:02:51.160
All right, Jack Prosobiec, live here, Human Events Daily.
00:02:54.480
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome on board today's edition of the show, live from Washington, D.C.
00:03:04.640
A lot of news in New York City coming out for President Trump today.
00:03:08.940
We've got a massive win at the appeals court, but we've also got other news to dig into, and we're going to get into all of it.
00:03:15.300
First of all, the left is melting down, melting down over this appeals court ruling, striking down so much of the Judge Engeron verdict.
00:03:27.860
This, of course, in the quote-unquote fraud trial that we were told about that was passed a couple of weeks ago.
00:03:35.520
Specifically, what they've done is cut down the amount of money from $435 million to $175 million, less than half.
00:03:45.600
Not only did they say that, but listen to this.
00:03:48.220
In its order Monday, the New York appeals court also stayed the trial judge, Arthur Engeron's, decision that had barred Trump from serving as an officer or director of a New York company for three years,
00:03:59.640
that had barred him and the corporate defendants from applying for loans from New York lenders for the same period.
00:04:04.080
The order also stayed, Engeron's, ruling that had barred Trump's sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, from serving as officers and directors of New York companies.
00:04:12.940
This thing's going up at the appeals court, and they're looking at it saying, this is a joke, this is ridiculous, and they're getting rid of it.
00:04:21.740
This is why you don't let communists on the bench.
00:04:25.940
But unfortunately, we still have a lot of communists on the bench, and we've got a lot of ways to go.
00:04:33.000
And so for people who want to say, oh, this will all strike down at the appeals court, everything will be fine, we'll see.
00:04:38.860
But it's very clear that this ridiculous ruling in a ridiculous case that never should have been brought in the first place,
00:04:46.120
completely political with this communist judge, Judge Engeron, that's what he is, he's a communist.
00:04:51.820
We're going to call him a communist because we call communists what they are here on Human Events Daily.
00:05:02.280
Number two, because this is the one-two punch that comes out of New York.
00:05:06.440
In addition to that, the date has now been set for the first criminal case regarding President Trump.
00:05:17.560
April 15th, the judge said that they were not willing to wait for presidential immunity or a number of these other things,
00:05:25.900
that they are purging forward, hurtling forward, just about three weeks from today.
00:05:31.600
We will see President Trump, apparently, unless anything else changes, and we know there's been a lot going back and forth.
00:05:39.260
President Trump on trial, New York City, April 15th.
00:05:43.440
Alvin Bragg, Stormy Daniels is apparently the subject of this case.
00:05:50.120
Remember, this is the case that they didn't even bring forward because Michael Cohen had credibility issues,
00:05:58.260
and those 73,000 documents from the Southern District of New York have something in them that really scared Alvin Bragg.
00:06:30.200
You'll never miss a new live episode, and we're putting them out every single day of the week.
00:06:39.260
You can't be listening to all that slappy whack, trimatazolitzabam ship, nippy bam bam, like Human Events with Jack Posobiec.
00:06:46.720
All right, back live, Jack Posobiec here, Human Events Daily.
00:06:53.320
Want to bring on now Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer.
00:06:56.180
Tony, now I've been keeping track this entire weekend.
00:07:01.080
As well as you, I'm sure, on this horrific terror attack took place in Moscow, the capital of Russia, this Kroka City attack.
00:07:10.860
Right off the bat, I have to ask, there's been this huge back and forth between the U.S. government really directly and the Kremlin over who is responsible for this attack.
00:07:27.940
And the U.S. government coming out, including the National Security Council under Jake Sullivan, saying this is ISIS.
00:07:45.080
They've been able to, apparently, they couldn't stop the attack, but now they know everything about it all of a sudden, magically, at the White House.
00:07:51.500
The same, by the way, U.S. government that put out a cable all the way back on March 7th, saying that extremist groups were about to target a concert in Moscow.
00:08:03.300
But Russia coming back and responding, saying essentially, think again, think again about the Islamic State being the only entity involved in this.
00:08:13.720
Of course, Putin giving this national address, saying that there was a window opened for these fighters on the other side of the Ukrainian border.
00:08:24.100
Tony, walk me through this, because this one don't smell right to me.
00:08:30.420
So I think you need to take a step back even further than the 7th March warning.
00:08:34.940
I mean, to Victoria Nuland herself, you know, Tory, as they call her at State Department, had many friends.
00:08:41.800
And people saw her as a very warm and nice person to hang out with.
00:08:49.280
And I think part of the reason she's gone is because she had made direct threats to Vladimir Putin and the Russians.
00:08:55.720
And she's very direct in her saying that Putin is going to get, quote unquote, surprises.
00:09:01.380
So, you know, let's start with that as a start point.
00:09:08.220
And I don't know if you saw it, Diamond John Kirby was there at the White House saying, oh, well, you know, we don't know what we didn't have any threat information behind our putting out a warning on 7th March.
00:09:24.760
You just randomly put a warning out saying, hey, don't show up at concerts in Moscow.
00:09:33.380
Look, and I'll say this as a guy who was an expat for many years, that usually when you see warnings like that coming out of the embassy or coming out of the State Department, they are not that specific.
00:09:44.340
This one specifically said concerts, specifically said extremist groups.
00:09:53.460
You and I, since we've dealt with declassification, that was somebody had a report, could have been a walk in, whatever it was.
00:10:00.800
And they said, all right, we're going to declassify just enough of this to put it out to the public.
00:10:08.520
And there's a requirement for us to warn people.
00:10:13.480
And I've I've been in that those seat, that seat.
00:10:17.560
So, you know, now they're saying, oh, we had no specific threat.
00:10:23.080
So it's just this breadcrumb of like, really, it's like there's that 1990s song, things that make you go.
00:10:32.400
And so when you look at this and then you look at what John Kirby has said and others have said in Jake Sullivan.
00:10:38.760
When's the last time, Jack, you and I saw this immediate response with all the details?
00:10:44.120
Within 48 hours, they've listed out all the 9-11 hijackers.
00:10:47.680
Gee, it's really strange how the not the U.S. government can be so completely naive to things, but have all the details within 48 hours.
00:10:56.060
And you and I both know as intelligent professionals, you don't gather that information that quickly without already having a head start.
00:11:04.800
But, you know, the day that I see Jake Sullivan calling for a ceasefire between ISIS and Russia is a day I believe that the Biden White House had nothing to do with whatever we're talking about.
00:11:21.340
There's the mechanics of the attack, the operational, as well as strategic.
00:11:25.380
On the strategic basis, let's start there since you mentioned ceasefire, Israel-Gaza has been one of the largest, in terms of brutality, conflicts that have gone on anywhere in the world.
00:11:40.580
It's making lots of headlines all throughout the Middle East.
00:11:44.180
And yet ISIS doesn't seem to want to get involved anywhere involving that.
00:11:49.060
They decide to respond to Israel-Gaza with an attack on random Russian civilians in Moscow.
00:11:59.860
So you and I both studied a little bit about ISIS and what ISIS does and does not do.
00:12:04.780
I think we've had adequate time now, Jack, to actually look at attack profiles by ISIS.
00:12:09.360
ISIS normally sends people who are on a one-way trip.
00:12:12.440
They don't line up cars and escape routes to get their people out.
00:12:20.720
I've never seen Jihadis with an escape plan before.
00:12:25.820
Yeah, it's like a Japanese kamikaze pilot with an escape plan.
00:12:28.920
It's like, oh, yeah, I'm not really going to go into the Eisenhower.
00:12:42.520
And so I'm looking forward, in a way, to seeing what the Russians come up with relating to the individuals and the questioning.
00:12:50.980
I mean, look, I'm not going to put a happy face on this.
00:12:58.120
The Russians, when they think they're onto something, are dogging.
00:13:02.280
By the way, this is what they do in the Middle East.
00:13:05.260
You hit the Russians, they're going to hit you back, and they're going to hit you back hard.
00:13:08.700
And so I think you're going to see something here of that regard.
00:13:12.780
And to that regard, for better or for worse, I'm calling balls and strikes.
00:13:18.540
Putin is convinced, the Russian Republic is convinced, that Ukraine had a role because of the very thing you mentioned.
00:13:29.520
It's like, okay, they're in their little escape car.
00:13:33.220
And sure enough, they headed for the border in Ukraine.
00:13:35.520
Is that an indicator that Ukraine was involved?
00:13:37.940
Well, not necessarily, but it is very interesting that they apparently did feel that Ukraine would be an opening for them to get out.
00:13:46.880
But going back to the original point, it's like, I don't think ISIS fighters generally have an escape plan since their escape plan is to go see Allah when they're done with their attack.
00:13:58.760
And because we can see the videos that have been released, these horrific videos, and we may not even play some of these on here.
00:14:08.380
I've seen videos of these guys running around, chopping people's heads off, slitting throats, again, innocent civilians inside this concert hall in Moscow.
00:14:18.060
And then just a couple of hours later, they're screaming, they're running up trees, they're crying, they're squealing.
00:14:32.840
What we're being asked to do is accept three things on face value.
00:14:37.100
First, the Biden administration's testimony that, oh, it's only ISIS.
00:14:43.660
I just don't trust the Biden administration on anything, period.
00:14:50.100
Secondly, we're being asked to accept on face value the Biden and world judgment that, oh, by the way, this is ISIS because it fits the profile of an ISIS attack.
00:15:02.220
It doesn't fit a profile at all of an ISIS attack.
00:15:09.760
It was kind of a little bit of this, a little bit of that.
00:15:12.120
But the only thing that's clear is it was against civilians who died horribly, painful deaths.
00:15:22.060
These aren't combatants, no matter how you do it.
00:15:24.520
And the third thing that's most notable is that there is a trail of crumbs that go back to our State Department threatening the Russians and Putin.
00:15:38.520
I don't know what to make of it, but it doesn't look good.
00:15:41.280
If you put all those pieces together, it doesn't it doesn't add up, Jack, to an ISIS-K attack without some level of support, encouragement, funding or other.
00:15:58.160
I'm saying if it was ISIS-K, they got a lot of help from somebody.
00:16:02.860
And a lot of people are asking so many questions about this because, of course, we don't see these guys acting the same way.
00:16:09.580
And just based on the based on the observable videos that we can see, even when they're in the courtroom, you know, they're not you know, they're not making any any gestures like ISIS, holding up the one finger.
00:16:23.360
They're not attempting to attempting to say Allah Akbar.
00:16:30.020
I mean, the same deal with when they're captured, you know, the screaming, the crying.
00:16:39.160
And I've been in situations, as have you, both when I served down at Torek, Guantanamo Bay and others where I've been face to face with these types.
00:16:50.260
I was in the Bagram collection point in in Afghanistan when we saw the real jihadis come in.
00:16:57.980
You can tell who the guys are, that they're you know, they don't want to be there and they want to be dead versus someone who's captured, captured incidental to combat operations.
00:17:06.540
These, to me, remind me more of combatants who got caught, you know, the prisoners of war because they're not they're not actually committed to the cause.
00:17:15.140
Yeah, I think they they look like Tajiks, at least, you know, from the pictures I've seen.
00:17:20.720
They kind of meet the way Tajiks look that I remember meeting Tajiks in Afghanistan and that region in Tajikistan.
00:17:35.880
Well, I was just going to say I was going to ask you directly.
00:17:39.200
It was going to break before we go to the break.
00:17:42.280
Look, they, from my experience, Jack, as an intelligence professional who's been on the front lines in the war terror, who had to face actual, you know, people who wanted to kill and die in the process.
00:17:56.080
These people don't seem to meet that profile by any regard.
00:18:06.200
We're going to come right back because we've talked about the issues with this attack.
00:18:12.680
Tony Schaefer joins us next here, continuing Human Events Daily.
00:18:34.740
I'd like to tell you about today's sponsor, Human, for the show, Human Events Daily, Allegiance Gold.
00:18:39.540
If you're part of our audience, you know exactly what's going on with the U.S. dollar.
00:18:43.460
Now, Putin himself said it during that Tucker Carlson interview that was seen over 100 million times.
00:18:50.600
And the weaponization of the dollar was a mistake.
00:18:53.820
The consequences of overprinting could be catastrophic for your family's future.
00:18:57.740
And with 401k accounts losing 25% of their value in the past two or three years,
00:19:01.480
why would you continue to risk your personal savings?
00:19:06.260

00:19:48.240
Tony, now we've gone through and I've been keeping track just throughout the day.
00:19:54.340
We saw these hypersonic strikes on Kiev potentially hitting.
00:19:58.880
And it was amazing because it seemed like, you know, Zelensky's out there saying, oh, I
00:20:07.580
And then the Kiev Post, I guess, didn't get the memo because they said, oh, you know, they
00:20:11.480
struck the headquarters of the SBU, the security services headquarters.
00:20:17.220
So right there, you know, putting their own president's credibility completely at risk,
00:20:21.540
which really speaks also to this infighting that you and I have been discussing going
00:20:25.300
on at the highest levels of the Ukrainian government, the Zelensky regime really on its
00:20:30.520
And then just before we went to air, it looks like it looks like Odessa has been hit as
00:20:45.000
Putin has said that they are a radical Islamist who committed the attack, but we are interested
00:21:00.860
Tony, what kind of response are we going to see here?
00:21:03.720
Because we've already been talking about the fact that the momentum has totally swung in
00:21:10.280
The real question, I suppose, is what happens next?
00:21:18.880
The recent spat of actions from Ukraine indicate that Ukraine is not doing well.
00:21:28.500
And the reason I think that is because I think Victoria Nuland stepping down had a lot to
00:21:34.260
do with the fact that the experiment's not working out.
00:21:38.000
The other thing that I've noticed is that in most of the responses of Ukraine against
00:21:45.920
They had incursions into the Kursk region recently within the last 10 days.
00:21:52.500
One of those within Belgorod, that region, they actually tried to seize a nuclear weapons
00:22:00.080
depot, which was like kind of like nobody even picked up on.
00:22:05.980
But I see this more and more as desperation from Ukraine.
00:22:11.040
I'm just saying that more and more of what I've seen from Ukraine is desperation.
00:22:15.280
They're doing things to try to get attention of the West to say, hey, we're still in the
00:22:18.920
Give us like 60 billion so we can continue to do things.
00:22:22.940
So I think it's all about at this point trying to demonstrate to the West, EU and the United
00:22:32.420
I think the more they get desperate, the more people are going to turn their back and say,
00:22:37.540
And I think that's that's where it's all going at this point.
00:22:41.440
And so the real question is, and this is why people were asking me all last week, they
00:22:47.120
said, how did you know that there was going to be terror attacks in the backfield, terror
00:22:51.220
attacks on Russian civilians and civilian infrastructure in Russia?
00:22:54.920
And they were playing clips of me from going on Alex Jones and here back in early March
00:23:01.480
And it was exactly these conversations between you and myself, Tony.
00:23:05.160
This idea that that Ukraine knew that they were not going to achieve and they had not
00:23:10.820
achieved the battlefield successes that they had wanted.
00:23:14.640
They were putting people in positions of power like this guy, Budinov and others that were
00:23:23.300
We have this New York, this crazy article that you and I sliced and diced.
00:23:28.180
And it seems as though they're moving into the direction of an insurgency.
00:23:35.140
So people keep saying, you know, Russia's annexed the four provinces, four oblasts already.
00:23:42.200
Mearsheimer says they're going to take another four.
00:23:44.740
My question for you is at this point, do you think Russia leaves Zelensky in power?
00:23:52.380
And our friends over at the Durand have been talking about that.
00:23:56.800
But there's some belief over there on the Durand guys that this if if if Putin can make a direct
00:24:05.300
link to Zelensky to the terror attack, I think there's a good possibility that the the shield
00:24:12.260
of protection the Russians have given Zelensky, because, Jack, why would you screw with an
00:24:18.500
I think Zelensky and his his bad decisions are something the Russians have come to embrace.
00:24:24.060
But there's a certain point of diminishing returns.
00:24:26.920
That diminishing return would be reached if Putin is convinced that Zelensky either had
00:24:31.800
a hand in or authorized any part of the attack on on the venue on the people there.
00:24:40.240
So I think if it can be proven, if there's some evidence that that can be presented by
00:24:46.340
the Russians, that the crocus that that place was attacked by, you know, with the full knowledge
00:24:55.220
I'm saying that I think that's what would remove any restrictions by Putin and Russia
00:25:02.580
And that's something where, of course, you've seen some of these rank and file Russian politicians
00:25:07.260
in the state Duma coming coming out and saying that they don't want this to be referred to
00:25:17.380
It also certainly galvanizes the Russian population.
00:25:19.700
And if you've looked at Russians online over the last 42, 70 or 72, 48 hours, that suffice
00:25:27.540
to say, they they are walking into military recruitment stations saying, where can I go?
00:25:33.300
I saw videos of some of the Russian bombs that were being loaded onto these aircraft before
00:25:40.300
they took off some of these, the T-95s, the Tupelovs.
00:25:44.000
And, you know, it read for Crocus, you know, for Crocus City Hall.
00:25:48.140
And so there's there's there's an idea already.
00:25:50.580
There's an it's it's kind of like the investigation will be there and the investigation is going
00:25:56.640
to happen and the investigation is going to come out.
00:25:58.620
And I'm sure these guys will they're certainly going to give up a lot more information.
00:26:04.440
But there's also the response is already in motion, I guess, is what I'm trying to say.
00:26:08.520
And you're not going to be able to stop this this train.
00:26:12.020
Now, well, Jack, to your point, I mean, if you have if you look at the current displacement
00:26:17.800
of CIA stations, you know, that we've admitted we've talked about it.
00:26:22.020
New York Times has confirmed that there are CIA bases in Ukraine.
00:26:25.840
You've got Victoria Nuland commenting on the record in public multiple times about asymmetric
00:26:33.800
It's kind of like, dude, either she's a moron and gave away the farm or Putin is the master
00:26:42.020
of 5D chess and basically did a false flag and took advantage of the stupidity of Victoria.
00:26:50.820
And no matter how you want to portray it, how the American public wants to portray it,
00:27:05.040
And if you now look at like, gee, Vic, G, Tory, was it really wise for you to have said those
00:27:12.460
Because one way or another, Russians are going to take advantage of what you said.
00:27:15.780
And and and no matter what, the United States is going to be looked at because of what she
00:27:22.940
You said Ukraine is going to draw the brunt of fire no matter what now, because partly
00:27:27.240
she's saying from he was actually in Ukraine when she said these things, Jack, for whatever
00:27:32.420
reason, she's kind of she's going to draw fire to Ukraine based on what she said.
00:27:37.920
This to me all has also, by the way, has all the hallmarks of a botched operation, because
00:27:43.040
I'll tell you something right now, there's there's no question that whoever was behind
00:27:47.180
this thing did not intend for those individuals to be taken alive.
00:27:54.240
And if they were intended to be received on the other side of the Ukraine, but whoever
00:27:58.280
they were received by them, I'll tell you right now, they were not going to walk out
00:28:06.320
In fact, ending up with Spetsnaz or whoever it was that picked them up there on the other
00:28:11.000
side is probably the only reason they're still alive right now, because these guys were loose
00:28:20.680
They were loose ends and we all know loose lips sink ships.
00:28:28.460
And, you know, somebody I was reading some of these reports and it's hard to, you know,
00:28:32.700
But they said, oh, we're going to get from Ukraine to Turkey and from Turkey to Afghanistan
00:28:42.160
And honestly, they thought probably thought you were going to die because that's usually
00:28:45.460
what Russians do when they respond to terrorism in the first place.
00:28:48.100
No, I think I think they really thought the FSV is going to kill them on the spot, which
00:28:52.260
in the past, I think would have been a typical response.
00:28:54.920
But I think the Russians were actually trying to figure it out here.
00:28:58.140
I think there was a reason why they held back and didn't kill these guys on the spot.
00:29:01.700
So, you know, there are clues to be had and there's a lot of contradicting clues right
00:29:09.120
But no, I and I, by the way, I think this is why the Biden administration can't get a
00:29:14.000
They this thing, whatever it is, is so complicated.
00:29:19.080
And people, you know, have have not actually been able to understand what they're supposed
00:29:26.300
Yeah, I would just say to anybody who's hanging out with Vladimir Zelensky right now, just
00:29:33.000
probably you probably want to go somewhere else, but, you know, maybe maybe go go hang
00:29:40.300
Don't go to Zelensky's house for the next for the foreseeable future.
00:29:44.980
Last minute, Tony Schaefer, what are you working on?
00:29:47.340
Where can people go to follow you and support your work?
00:29:51.820
I just tweeted out some stuff you and I were talking about.
00:29:53.740
And then Project Sentinel, ProjectSentinel.com is a place to come check us out.
00:29:59.220
And I just want to do a shout out to you, Jack, because, you know, you and I talked about
00:30:03.580
this for over a year now about kind of where the direction of things are going.
00:30:07.880
And I don't I take no pride in you and I being correct.
00:30:12.660
But I think, to be honest, we kind of saw it coming.
00:30:20.120
Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer, Project Sentinel, make sure you're going to follow him.
00:30:24.160
Make sure you are supporting him, supporting his work.
00:30:26.920
All of us together on Team Humanity are going to be able to bring this thing forward.
00:30:31.980
Joshua Lysak, one of the key chiefs of Team Humanity, joins us next.
00:30:53.940
We're always talking about the fake news and the bad.
00:30:57.660
And these are the guys who should be getting Pulisic.
00:30:59.720
All right, Jack, so back here, live, Human Events Daily.
00:31:08.040
Just hit number 47, broke into the top 50 of all of Amazon.
00:31:16.340
That's not like one of those, you know, special category type of things.
00:31:21.280
We are joined now by co-author of the book, Joshua Lysak.
00:31:25.880
Joshua, you know, what is it about, look, when you and I said that we would, you know,
00:31:32.100
talk about doing a book together and when, you know, we've sort of been chatting about
00:31:36.300
it off and on for a while, you had been attempting your best persuasion angles on me for quite
00:31:45.120
And then I said, well, you know, why don't we do this communism book?
00:31:51.960
And what do you think you attribute it to, the mass response that we're seeing?
00:32:01.880
The first issue that is worth uncovering is the problem with historical nonfiction.
00:32:08.500
That is a book where you're talking about stuff that happened in the past,
00:32:11.760
because the obvious question to answer is, so what?
00:32:15.160
There are avid readers of historical nonfiction, not so many on details of communist revolutions.
00:32:26.440
Who cares that there were riots against landlords in pre-World War II China?
00:32:32.020
Who cares that Franco was this, that, or the other, a liberator or a fascist, depending upon
00:32:43.840
We begin to realize through our research and working on the book that there are patterns
00:32:49.360
that are followed in every communist revolution.
00:32:53.400
That is, a communist revolution is when there's one class or one group of people who claim to
00:33:00.440
They are have-nots relative to a have class or group in that society.
00:33:10.360
And a communist revolution is an implementation of Marxism.
00:33:14.700
That is the Karl Marx hypothesis that in order for there to be utopia in a society, the poor,
00:33:22.840
the non-owners of stuff, have to rise up and rob and kill their oppressors, the people who
00:33:31.860
And that, of course, has taken a socioeconomic bent in the past with obvious revolutions.
00:33:36.820
But we see that done culturally in what's been termed cultural Marxism.
00:33:41.740
And throughout these periods and these events, we begin to see obvious parallels to the present
00:33:47.700
day that begin to not just explain, because hindcasting is cool, but it doesn't tell you
00:33:55.100
And we realize that we are currently experiencing in the Western world, the United States in
00:34:05.660
And that revelation is what has made the book catch on so fast, because that one little reframe
00:34:12.740
of the history of communism being the story of the news today, tomorrow, and hopefully not
00:34:21.200
But that does seem to be the case, at least in the moment.
00:34:24.100
That is what has rocketed the book up the charts so quickly.
00:34:28.200
I mean, just tie into that on the news right now, this whole thing about the squatters
00:34:33.420
recently and the squatters rights and the squatters are coming up everywhere.
00:34:37.440
So you're telling me that the left doesn't respect private property rights and actually wants
00:34:45.700
to give your private property to classes of people that they feel are oppressed.
00:34:53.040
Has anything like this ever happened ever in history?
00:34:57.920
And is it possible that some people could write a book about, I don't know, responding
00:35:02.180
to it and doing something about it based on best practices that have worked?
00:35:06.420
I mean, I just I don't see any relevance to that in current society.
00:35:11.500
And that is precisely why the book has become so popular so quickly with just its announcement
00:35:18.280
a few days ago, is that once we point out that the history of the communist revolution
00:35:23.020
is the story of the present moment and what we need to do about it, it gives the past a
00:35:29.100
So this book is unlike other histories of communist periods.
00:35:33.140
Now, we do not go into exhaustive intellectual detail of every single factoid that is relevant
00:35:41.060
and pertinent to communism in Cambodia or to Romania or to Africa or to Spain, because
00:35:49.820
Number two, once you read one of these stories in depth after the second or third one, you
00:35:57.520
And then, of course, we give both expansive overviews, but also abridged versions of the
00:36:04.860
And you've noticed that they follow the same three acts, just as every story of myth and
00:36:12.020
entertainment follows the three-act story structure.
00:36:17.600
And so whenever we see a communist revolution, it follows three acts.
00:36:21.420
Now, what we see in America in this cultural Marxism, it's more of a series of micro-revolutions
00:36:27.480
that are launched, these uprising, revolts, and rebellions that are launched against specific
00:36:33.220
individuals or groups that are in certain geographics or certain areas where communism
00:36:39.920
is allowed, or as we like to call it, the forces of anti-civilization, unhumanity, because
00:36:46.300
the communists, wherever they go throughout history, they do not recognize the rights to
00:36:53.000
In fact, when communists are able to wield power, they actively disintegrate rights to
00:37:10.660
The name of equality, the name of egalitarianism.
00:37:14.500
And the key point here that conservatives and classic liberals and moderates and really anyone
00:37:23.660
who just doesn't stand with the far extreme left on this, that they need to understand
00:37:34.820
The people we face do not believe the things that they say.
00:37:45.040
You can point out the fact that the things that they say on Tuesday do not match the things
00:37:48.920
that they said on Monday, which do not match the things they said on the previous Friday.
00:37:54.080
They will never actually care or acquiesce to your arguments in any way.
00:38:11.100
And by the way, people have said, oh, well, that means you're spearing them all with naughty
00:38:18.060
We're talking about these people who harass you, who debank you.
00:38:22.220
And some of the actions that we take and some of the outcomes are very simple things.
00:38:28.440
You know, and it runs the gamut from the higher end of the great men of means, which we get
00:38:33.880
into in the book, but also this step-by-step action plan that people can take.
00:38:39.840
It's really something that people can do on their own.
00:38:45.360
There are specific things that individuals can do to shore up their lives, their fortunes,
00:38:49.940
and their sacred honor in order to protect themselves and their families from the coming
00:38:55.860
We use words like, oh, getting doxxed and canceled, you know, debanked and deplatformed.
00:39:01.660
Well, those are low-intensity conflict versions of a communist uprising.
00:39:08.880
You see, military engagements have changed over the last 75 years or so.
00:39:14.600
It went from open war on the battlefield to more quiet conflicts where infrastructure is
00:39:20.860
destroyed somehow by an enemy power, but you're not exactly sure maybe who it was, or there's
00:39:26.880
a trade war occurring, or intellectual property is seized, or supply chains are intentionally
00:39:32.120
disrupted, or misinformation is sown in the population of one country by another country's
00:39:40.540
It's total war on all fronts, information space, socioeconomic war, trade war, so on and
00:39:47.040
That's what's called low-intensity conflict, but it's every bit as real and relevant as
00:39:54.080
But the issue is now that every citizen becomes a combatant.
00:40:01.080
And then we see, as we did through our research and as we demonstrate in the book, communist revolutions
00:40:07.840
being political tools to create change, similar to war.
00:40:12.400
They, too, have followed this transition from riots in the streets, the seizing of the Bastille,
00:40:20.060
the Red Square, these sorts of obvious, visual, dense groups of people literally overthrowing
00:40:28.940
statues and overtaking buildings and waving red flags, like we all know the pictures of in
00:40:36.140
Nowadays, communist revolutions against an individual can be one judge or one prosecutor
00:40:44.880
and their cronies against one man, against one woman.
00:40:52.460
Joshua Lysak walking us through the irregular communist revolution that we are currently in.
00:41:10.160
We're here with co-author Joshua Lysak walking through the stages and circumstances of the
00:41:17.300
irregular communist revolution that we're currently in.
00:41:21.380
You know, there's a reason that you can see the culture war online and you can go on Twitter,
00:41:27.760
you can go on any social media, you can find the culture war.
00:41:30.480
It's very easy, as a matter of fact, just open the news.
00:41:33.580
But if you walk down the street, you're not going to see a civil war.
00:41:36.460
You're not going to see, you know, bodies piled up the way you would in the Russian civil war,
00:41:44.600
And there's a reason for that because this is fifth generation communist warfare.
00:41:49.640
And in a sense, the Chinese cultural revolution itself, all the way back in the 1960s in China,
00:41:56.340
and it's depicted in this new three-body problem by Netflix, was actually an example of fourth
00:42:02.240
generation warfare because it separates the distinction between civilian and combatant.
00:42:14.760
That's why what we're in is a direct example of the guerrillas now coming onto social media
00:42:21.140
and using the internet to further their social engineering, the misinformation, non-kinetic
00:42:26.560
attacks, exactly what Joshua is describing, these micro-revolutions that get launched on
00:42:32.400
But Joshua, what I wanted to dig into with you as well, and I spoke about this on War Room
00:42:36.900
earlier this morning, this idea that unhumans actually gives people tools to fight back.
00:42:42.760
Because, look, I could sit here all day long and come up with the conservative outrage porn
00:42:47.880
and say, oh, look at this crazy thing a liberal did, and look at that liberal thing, and aren't
00:43:04.080
In the book, particularly towards the end, as we build up from the history of the past to
00:43:09.380
A Vision for the Future that we cast, we lay out the three defeats of communism.
00:43:15.260
When a communist revolution has been defeated, or it almost was, but there was not enough
00:43:22.140
willpower behind those opposing the communist revolution, and this is over the last 250 years
00:43:29.920
in particular, the three defeats of communism as are follows.
00:43:33.800
The first thing is, to gently paraphrase our friend Scott Adams, is to get away.
00:43:46.880
History shows that in a communist revolution, once the communist militias, once the actual
00:43:54.220
radicals are done robbing and killing their enemies, the oppressors, the haves, as they
00:44:04.660
We saw this to a dark comedic effect in the Spanish Civil War, when the wrong kinds of
00:44:10.600
communists, who had been shooting religious people, Catholics, citizens, to create a reign
00:44:19.800
The wrong kind of communists, those who were supporters and devotees of Leon Trotsky, as
00:44:25.920
opposed to the contemporary Joseph Stalin, they were rounded up, taken out, and shot.
00:44:31.960
As we see in the Soviet Union, as we've seen elsewhere in time, and as we go through in
00:44:38.240
It will eat itself, because it is an ideology that organizes, but it does not know how to stay
00:44:44.280
organized, because all it does is robs and kills every single time.
00:44:50.380
And so once those with means have been robbed and killed, well, whoever has what has been
00:44:57.260
Like we can see, I have to say this, President Trump is up there right now.
00:45:03.640
Donald Trump, one of the most successful, certainly the most well-known real estate magnate of New
00:45:09.720
York City, is having his businesses stripped bare in front of the entire world to see his
00:45:19.420
They are talking about seizing his Westchester golf course, and all being done because people
00:45:27.940
They can't actually point to anything that he's done to oppress the people of New York.
00:45:31.880
In fact, the entities in New York that have done business with him all say they would
00:45:42.460
President Trump and his family are experiencing lawfare, which is when the legal system is
00:45:47.780
weaponized by radicals, by revolutionaries against a class.
00:45:52.500
Now, in the context of the low-intensity conflict, the Communist Revolution 2.0, the micro-revolution
00:45:59.000
comes for not necessarily an entire population, but for specific targets, key targets that if
00:46:07.180
you're able to neutralize them, you don't literally have to kill them.
00:46:11.420
Because this is not warfare like on the battlefield, two armies shooting at one another once you can
00:46:18.520
This is, who can we steal from, destroy, without having a military response or at least a reciprocal
00:46:30.140
And that's why there hasn't been a meaningful response.
00:46:38.100
And yet this is precisely what's happening right now.
00:46:40.900
The only way to restore civilization to President Trump's family and to anyone who falls into the
00:46:46.720
crosshairs of the micro-revolution is reciprocity.
00:46:53.820
In fact, the oldest code of law in the world, the code of Hammurabi, says that if you gouge out
00:46:59.020
someone's eye, guess what you get to lose next?
00:47:01.740
If you make a false accusation against someone, whatever you accuse them of, you are now guilty
00:47:08.220
Reciprocity is, you suppose you could call it the platinum rule, even far and above the golden rule.
00:47:16.680
It is what brought us from prehistory as a species into recorded history, reciprocity.
00:47:26.740
I was going to say, you might even throw out the iron rule because it is the rule that brought us the
00:47:38.940
We go from being homo sapiens to being unhumans.
00:47:45.140
And that seems to be why the title of the book has triggered both wolves and the wolves and
00:47:51.580
sheep's clothing, because they realize we're talking about them.
00:47:54.500
It's very telling that leftists and self-styled communists who have, we'll put it gently,
00:48:07.920
And they immediately said, you're talking about me.
00:48:13.620
Where can people go to get the book and follow you?
00:48:18.180
Unhumans, The Secret History of Communist Revolutions and How to Crush Them is available right now on
00:48:23.120
Amazon, as well as from the Sky Horse Publishing, a bookstore online.
00:48:30.200
Make sure to understand, folks, this is not just a history book.
00:48:37.280
This is a plan for us to come forward and crush them.
00:48:45.340
Ladies and gentlemen, as always, you have my permission to lay ashore.
