00:00:30.000
This is what happens when the fourth turning meets fifth generation warfare.
00:00:39.680
A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran.
00:00:46.360
This is Human Events with your host, Jack Poso.
00:00:50.860
Now a statement from World Central Kitchen that says the IDF has acknowledged its responsibility
00:00:55.640
and its fatal errors in the deadly attack on our convoy in Gaza.
00:00:59.260
It's taking disciplinary action against those in command and committed to other reforms.
00:01:05.780
However, it is also clear from the preliminary investigation,
00:01:09.140
the IDF has deployed deadly force without regard to its own protocols,
00:01:18.260
has lashed out at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
00:01:20.940
Khamenei said that Netanyahu will be slapped for the airstrike on Iran's consular building in Syria.
00:01:28.960
Meanwhile, the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency has warned Israel that Iran could launch a major military operation within 48 hours.
00:01:41.960
but we also don't want to see the status quo changed in a unilateral way, and certainly not by force.
00:01:52.120
Our purpose at the summit is to help build a bridge to that membership.
00:01:59.840
Preliminary reports show a 4.8 magnitude earthquake in New Jersey was felt in southern New England, including here in Rhode Island.
00:02:09.000
In a statement today, CEO Nancy Jacobson announced that the group would end its efforts to launch a third-party ticket after no candidates emerged.
00:02:17.660
That leaves only one third-party candidate left, RFK Jr., and his campaign has some Democrats, quote,
00:02:27.460
My own country is treating me like a criminal just because I believe that they stole my rightful president.
00:02:39.180
And just standing up for my country makes me a criminal.
00:02:47.460
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily here live in Washington, D.C.
00:02:57.720
The voice you just heard, the video you just saw, was Rebecca Levescrim.
00:03:04.820
And as we now know, she is referred to as the J6 praying grandma.
00:03:17.240
Rebecca Laverins found guilty yesterday in D.C. by a D.C. jury.
00:03:27.460
What is she going potentially to prison for a full year for?
00:03:31.240
For walking through the United States Capitol without permission, entering and remaining in a restricted building,
00:03:43.380
disorderly conduct in a restricted building, disorderly conduct in a Capitol building,
00:03:49.800
and, quote, parading inside a Capitol, walking around in her own Capitol,
00:04:07.680
And look, I've said for a long time, there's no way that anyone who is Donald Trump,
00:04:13.480
who's associated with Donald Trump or MAGA, can ever get a fair trial in the D.C. district.
00:04:21.900
But I want people to understand what we're up against, and I hope, I certainly hope, that this is a watershed moment.
00:04:32.580
Rebecca Laverins is a 71-year-old grandmother and, in fact, a great-grandmother.
00:04:38.060
Elon Musk has now spoken out on this and says it's gone too far.
00:04:44.780
Senator Mike Lee says that she deserves a full presidential pardon.
00:04:48.820
And early this morning, President Trump himself posted her photo and said that she is now one of the J6 hostages.
00:05:00.420
The hostages that have been taken by the Biden regime and thrown into a gulag.
00:05:12.620
Do you think it's all happening because of good intentions?
00:05:16.660
When people like this are being thrown in jail inside our nation's capital,
00:05:32.600
It is not the time for whining about mean tweets and mean book titles.
00:05:39.380
It is not the time for whining and gatekeeping and concern trolling.
00:05:49.800
Every Republican lawmaker and conservative pundit who threw people like this under the bus and turned their back on them,
00:05:57.380
You're on my list now, and I'm going to be making sure that you know it.
00:06:10.160
Ladies and gentlemen, one of the best ways that you can support us here at Human Events
00:06:22.820
and the work that we do is subscribing to us on our Rumble channel.
00:06:28.820
You hit the notifications so you'll never miss a clip.
00:06:34.100
And we're putting them out every single day of the week.
00:06:37.920
But I got a hankering, yearning deep inside, for this book called Unhumans I just can't hide.
00:06:48.740
All right, Jack O'Sullivan here, live Human Events Daily, Washington, D.C.
00:06:57.520
Very honored and excited to introduce our next guest.
00:07:03.640
We are honored to have him here at Human Events Daily.
00:07:12.760
Dr. Carson, we've been covering over the last two days the story of the praying grandma,
00:07:21.260
She's from Colorado, Colorado Springs, drove to the Capitol there on January 6th to attend
00:07:29.500
She's just been convicted of four crimes in Washington, D.C.
00:07:40.540
Help me make some sense of what's going on when people like this are being gone after
00:07:49.740
Well, first of all, it shows you that it's impossible for a conservative or somebody associated
00:07:55.680
with Trump to get a fair trial in Washington, D.C., and we should all take note of that.
00:08:02.460
But the real problem here is that our Justice Department is being commandeered by a political
00:08:13.580
And in 1787, when Benjamin Franklin came out of that Constitution Hall after the ruckus
00:08:18.860
meeting, when they put the final touches on our Constitution, he was asked by a woman,
00:08:24.260
sir, what do we have here, a monarchy or a republic?
00:08:31.680
We're as close to losing it right now as we ever have been.
00:08:35.540
And if, in fact, the left is permitted to continue down this pathway of domination and
00:08:42.680
unfairness in using the Justice Department against American citizens, we will indeed have
00:08:51.160
And I think the American people actually realize that.
00:08:54.340
And that's why you see the poll numbers as they are.
00:08:56.920
They understand what the future for their children and grandchildren will be if we go down this
00:09:04.580
And Dr. Carson, I want to ask a follow up on what you just said there, the idea that no
00:09:09.980
one's getting a fair trial, but also that it's about locking up political opponents.
00:09:14.820
So do you believe, because I hear this every day, I'll hear people say, oh, well, you know,
00:09:19.720
the DOJ, they're just trying to do their job and, you know, there's good guys over there.
00:09:24.300
And, you know, this is, you know, she did, you know, break the rules and therefore she
00:09:30.420
And there's, you know, we hear this when they when they indicted President Trump as well.
00:09:36.480
But does that really bear out when you look across everything that's happening in our country
00:09:42.200
I mean, you look back to the summer of 2020 when people were rioting and destroying people's
00:09:47.980
livelihoods, murdering and people like our vice president actually established a fund to
00:09:55.900
help get those people legal representation and to make sure that they didn't go to jail.
00:10:05.600
You have a grandmother, 71 years old, doing nothing of violence, walking around in the Capitol
00:10:13.680
for 10 minutes, praying on the Capitol stairs, and she's being sentenced to jail and a hefty
00:10:21.060
financial fund and people who kill and destroy get nothing.
00:10:26.160
No, that is completely antithetical to liberty and justice for all.
00:10:33.340
Look, and we know we know that we've seen time and time again.
00:10:37.100
I was at the Kavanaugh hearings when that went on, when they burst into the United States
00:10:44.400
I was I was there covering it at the time when they burst in, chased Jeff Flake, Senator
00:10:50.960
And, you know, they get off with a slap on the wrist.
00:10:55.700
You know, you pay a couple hundred bucks, whatever it is, and off you go.
00:10:59.840
And and what we see here, because it looks to me is exactly what you're saying, is that
00:11:05.280
we should look at these things and actually view what's happening with our own eyes wide
00:11:11.260
open rather than listening to all this flowery language they use about upholding the law and
00:11:16.880
You know, they only say that when it comes to conservatives, when it comes to anyone who's
00:11:20.880
associated with Donald Trump, when it comes to people who are patriots, increasingly people
00:11:25.200
who are Christians and pro-lifers, by the way, I might add.
00:11:28.680
And it seems more like and we find this out with all of these hearings from Christopher
00:11:32.880
Ray, our FBI director, that it seems as though there is an enemy's list of the regime, of
00:11:38.700
the administration, and they are systematically working their way through that list.
00:11:44.880
You know, Donald Trump is correct when he says he's the only thing that's standing between
00:11:53.000
And unfortunately, if we have an adverse election in November and they remain in power, they will
00:12:03.600
simply continue down this road until we have total tyranny in this country.
00:12:12.980
And the real question will be, will the people utilize the remedy that our founders put in place?
00:12:25.180
And the reason I say that is because so many people don't use their votes effectively.
00:12:30.000
They go into the booth or they take their voting sheet and they look for the name that looks
00:12:40.700
You know, that's not using your vote appropriately.
00:12:44.300
And then when we tolerate officials coming along and saying, yes, you can monitor this polling
00:12:50.240
site, but just do it from way over there where you can't see anything.
00:12:54.900
When they say there don't have to be matching signatures, we don't have to tolerate that.
00:13:00.840
When they say a thousand votes can come from the same address, we don't have to tolerate
00:13:12.140
And I suppose this is something where there's an issue, I think, with conservatives and it's
00:13:17.320
temperamental in a sense, because we are the people, right?
00:13:24.460
And yet there's an issue that if they use that against us and we sit back and say, well,
00:13:32.360
you know, live and let live, live and let live, live and let live, you know, they're
00:13:36.140
They're just changing the ways that things are done.
00:13:37.980
They're running roughshod, not just over the election irregularities, which, of course,
00:13:42.080
my friend, my friend, Mike Lindell and yourself and so many others have have told us about.
00:13:46.780
But we look at their judicial system and how many times they're taking away attorney
00:13:52.060
client privilege, they're taking away privileged communications, they're taking away privacy
00:13:56.440
laws on a regular basis, running roughshod over all of these privileges and rights that
00:14:04.420
They're throwing them out of the window and saying, oh, well, you know, that person was
00:14:08.020
a Trump supporter and this is a this is a was a bad time for us.
00:14:11.400
So therefore, we should just get rid of all of it.
00:14:13.200
But to your point, Dr. Carson, that those protections are in place to create and establish
00:14:22.500
And you have to give them to everyone or you lose it.
00:14:25.340
And it's supposed to be about we, the people, not about we, the government.
00:14:30.620
And our founders worked very hard to try to give us a Constitution that would allow us
00:14:37.100
But sometimes you have to fight for those freedoms.
00:14:40.660
As Ronald Reagan said, we're never more than one generation away from losing them.
00:14:46.720
And you can't be the land of the free if not the home of the brave.
00:14:53.500
And this is why and early on and all throughout, you've always been a stalwart supporter of
00:15:01.260
You know, people will say he's an unconventional politician, but I would argue that we are
00:15:07.780
We've got a couple of minutes before the break.
00:15:09.400
But do you think that President Trump's platform is the right agenda to get America back on track?
00:15:16.680
I mean, he talks about the things that are important to the people.
00:15:19.560
You know, they're concerned about how much it costs when they go to the grocery store.
00:15:25.440
You know, they come back with a two or three hundred dollar bill for just basic elements.
00:15:31.440
They're concerned about how much it costs to put gas in their tank.
00:15:34.440
They're concerned about the fact that their children cannot buy a home, can't even dream
00:15:39.600
of buying a home because of the interest rates that are going on.
00:15:43.200
They're concerned about the crime in the city, which is just mushrooming and criminals who
00:15:49.360
You know, the list goes on and on, our southern border, completely open, all kinds of people
00:15:55.920
coming in, changing the demographics, changing the number of representatives.
00:16:00.520
All of this is manipulation in order to maintain power.
00:16:05.000
But the power of problem is all of those things have ramifications, negative ramifications for
00:16:11.160
our society and for the concept of freedom in this country.
00:16:14.680
You even have situations where bureaucrats are coming in and saying people are unfit parents
00:16:21.640
because they won't refer to their children by the pronoun that their child has been taught
00:16:28.520
in school by an educational system, which is seeking to usurp the role of parents.
00:16:39.260
And unless we become extremely active and understand what's going on, we're not going
00:16:47.520
And you see these names, they come across our headlines every day, they come across our
00:16:53.120
screens, they come across our phones, names like Laken Riley, names like Ruby Garcia and
00:16:59.580
names now like the praying grandma, like Rebecca Labyrinth.
00:17:05.520
And I think there's something going on and I hope there's something going on in this country
00:17:10.520
where people are finally waking up and saying enough is enough.
00:17:17.360
And what the left depends on is people being ignorant.
00:17:28.600
Before a country becomes communist or socialist, they dumb down the population.
00:17:35.600
You see that if you ever look at any of these man on the street interviews when they ask them
00:17:40.000
the simplest of questions, they have no idea what you're talking about.
00:17:44.320
You have to get people in that state before you can take away the wonderful things that
00:17:50.440
we have in this country and take them from a can-do attitude to a what-can-you-do-for-me
00:18:00.540
And in fact, I'm actually working on a book all about that right now.
00:18:20.940
I want to know the truth, what really went down.
00:18:24.120
So I'm jumping on my computer, going to pre-order town.
00:18:38.280
I want to know the truth, what really went down.
00:18:41.200
So I'm jumping on my computer, going to pre-order town.
00:18:57.860
I mentioned just before the break that, you know, I'm doing the, we're in the pre-sales
00:19:01.960
for the new book, Unhumans, The Secret History of Communist Revolutions.
00:19:05.820
And Dr. Carson, you actually have a book out as well, The Perilous Fight, Overcoming Our
00:19:20.200
Walk me through or walk the audience through how the book explains this really all is about
00:19:27.800
Well, first of all, you know, the title, The Perilous Fight, comes from our Star-Spangled
00:19:35.260
Our country was born in the crucible of conflict.
00:19:47.080
And one of the ways to overcome our country and to bring about Khrushchev's prediction,
00:19:54.400
Khrushchev told Eisenhower over 60 years ago, your grandchildren's children will live
00:19:59.700
under our system and we won't have to fire one shot.
00:20:04.500
Because they had a war plan that included destroying the American family.
00:20:11.840
And you've seen how men have been depicted, particularly in sitcoms over the last couple
00:20:17.500
of decades, as buffoon, the women as the superheroes, the educational system usurping the authority
00:20:27.240
of the parents, hyper-sitculization of children, removing from the curriculum civics and things
00:20:36.880
that bring about pride in our system, inserting things that bring about guilt and shame and
00:20:44.920
All of these things are attacking the family as it exists.
00:20:53.200
What becomes of children who grew up in a traditional two-parent family versus those who grew up in
00:21:03.100
The difference is quite stark, and it is verified by both conservative and liberal organizations.
00:21:10.360
So there's no question that it actually occurs.
00:21:13.560
And we talk about what are some of the things that we can do to encourage the buildup of families
00:21:20.600
We also have a significant drop in the number of children being born to traditional families.
00:21:28.260
There are a whole host of things that are happening to us as a society.
00:21:37.240
It is the family, which then creates the community, which then creates the state, which then creates
00:21:44.080
So if you want to destroy that nation, if you want to fundamentally change that nation, you
00:22:00.020
But one thing that we see in a lot of the schools out there today is that, and it's so
00:22:06.400
important you pointed this out, that we've gotten so many of these.
00:22:17.040
But to your point, there's nothing for young boys that are coming up through the school
00:22:24.960
We have program after program to help young girls.
00:22:27.560
And the issue, it sounds like what you're saying, the issue with that is that when you don't
00:22:32.600
have young boys that are also given this way ahead, then they don't mature into young
00:22:41.000
And as it turns out, you actually need young men to be those young fathers to create the
00:22:51.400
And, you know, we've got to get rid of the war that's been created on men, and particularly
00:23:01.080
They're like the unsung heroes that helped to create this country.
00:23:09.660
And we have to just stop with all this identity politics and recognize that there's a sense
00:23:15.940
of community that was so important in the development of our country.
00:23:19.140
You know, there were people here from all different countries.
00:23:24.540
A lot of the communities consisted of 100 families and nobody else around for 50 or 100
00:23:30.640
But not only did they survive, but they thrived because they understood an important concept
00:23:38.720
And you see that phrase used very often by the fathers of this country, learning to do the
00:23:46.000
If Mr. Johnson fell out of the apple tree at harvest time and broke his leg, everybody
00:23:52.100
They didn't ask him what his political affiliation or religion was.
00:23:55.480
They just knew that that was their neighbor and they needed help.
00:23:59.100
And when we can get back to that kind of attitude in America, we'll start making progress again.
00:24:05.100
And it's truly remarkable because, and one of the issues, and we talk about this in my book
00:24:12.000
as well, is that we get so focused on these that we call it equity.
00:24:19.060
You call it, but these are all actually forms of a different kind of system of government.
00:24:26.540
And it's not the American system of government at all.
00:24:29.280
As a matter of fact, the American system is a system whereby you are granted rights and
00:24:34.060
the opportunity to then use those rights to better yourself, better your family.
00:24:39.140
But in the other system, it's a system where people are categorized into different classes.
00:24:47.920
But these days, you hear more and more of it pushed along, you know, racial lines, along
00:24:53.540
gender lines, and then they keep coming up with new genders.
00:24:58.500
I see the trans flag now has another triangle on it.
00:25:00.900
I didn't realize, I don't even know what the other triangle is for on there yet.
00:25:11.220
Do you agree that these programs are setting up an entirely different system than the one
00:25:18.500
And these things are used to divide us on the basis of race, age, income, gender, political
00:25:29.060
And the old adage, divide and conquer, is very much at play here.
00:25:34.060
The American people have got to understand that we're being manipulated.
00:25:40.940
Because they understand that that is the only way to fundamentally change this nation.
00:25:52.760
Dr. Carson, you mentioned the economy before as well.
00:25:56.300
And as we've gone through these case studies of these economic upheavals, and unfortunately,
00:26:02.160
some of these communist socialist situations in the past and these revolutions that have
00:26:09.880
It's always you crash the economy of a country.
00:26:13.300
And then, as you say, you dumb down the people.
00:26:15.620
And then you say, oh, if you want to get rich, here's how you do it.
00:26:19.020
You have to take it from the people that have the money now.
00:26:23.600
We can quibble about this group and that group and Russia, China, Spain, etc.
00:26:30.120
It always comes down to that, all the way back, by the way, to the end of the Roman Republic,
00:26:36.300
which, by the way, is the first country that's mentioned by Karl Marx in the communist revolution.
00:26:41.780
And so when we look at the wealth issues today, I would say, go and look at TikTok.
00:26:49.040
There are people who are, because of inflation and because of prices being so high,
00:26:52.920
and they can't, you know, they say, I work a shift and now I can't afford a house.
00:27:02.620
That's not where America was just a few years ago, is it?
00:27:07.140
And, you know, the statistics came out today on the new job creation, 303,000 new jobs.
00:27:17.540
But you have to understand who's taking those jobs.
00:27:23.440
A lot of elderly people who had retired are going back into the workforce because they're
00:27:28.020
finding that they can't afford to go to the grocery store or put gas in their car anymore
00:27:40.480
And they're destroying the whole concept of the American dream for so many people.
00:27:48.380
You know, my wife, she calls it airport prices.
00:27:53.260
She goes, she goes, well, it costs like everything's when you're shopping at the airport.
00:27:56.660
But then you go to the grocery store, you go to Costco, wherever you're going.
00:27:59.920
It's like because everyone knows the airport prices are so expensive.
00:28:08.200
And I would argue that there are even Republicans who don't understand how much economic anger
00:28:18.660
Well, I just hope that that the good guys are able to capitalize on that and educate the people, because it's all about having an intelligent populace, a moral and religious people and a well-educated people.
00:28:37.320
And those are the things that led us to the pinnacle of the world in record time.
00:28:41.340
And when people are out there searching, when people are hurting, I do hope and I see glimmers of this.
00:28:48.500
I do see glimmers that there are more people now who are also because when people feel desperate, where do you turn?
00:28:55.860
You turn to the church, you turn to God, people finally starting to open their Bibles up again.
00:29:01.920
And I'm not I don't know if it's if it's if it's widespread as much yet.
00:29:05.200
But I do feel I actually believe, Dr. Carson, that there is an awakening that's going on in America right now.
00:29:17.180
And sometimes it has to be pretty dark before people can see the light.
00:29:25.180
I think they're starting to wake up and I do believe it.
00:29:29.600
But we have a struggle on our hands and we cannot rest on our laurels.
00:29:38.560
Where can people go to get it and where can people go to get more information about everything you're up to?
00:29:44.020
The Perilous Fight, Overcoming Our Culture's War on the American Family.

I want to know the truth, what really went down
00:31:08.520
And Bidenomics is a complete and total disaster
00:31:13.820
It's because I start my day with a hot America first cup of blackout coffee
00:31:17.620
Blackout coffee is 100% committed to conservative values
00:31:21.200
From sourcing the beans to the roasting process
00:31:34.300
