We are living through a full-scale assault on truth and your right to speak it.
00:00:04.760
From YouTube to Spotify, theft is waging a war on free speech with the help of big tech and the U.S. government.
00:00:11.020
Thankfully, there are still some companies that believe in our Constitution.
00:00:15.000
That's why I'm proud to partner with Patriot Mobile, America's only Christian, conservative cell phone provider, and I want you to as well.
00:00:24.240
In fact, they use the same towers as the major carriers, so you get the same great nationwide coverage.
00:00:30.000
Plus, the peace of mind that your money isn't being used to support the left.
00:00:35.060
Patriot Mobile has plans to fit any budget, and their 100% U.S.-based customer support team provides exceptional customer support.
00:00:43.060
More importantly, Patriot Mobile shares your values and supports organizations fighting for religious freedom, constitutional rights, sanctity of life, and our veterans and first responder heroes.
00:01:03.900
Support a company that loves America, loves you, and shares your values.
00:01:12.580
Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily, powered by Turning Point USA.
00:01:19.880
Today's top stories, truckers have now shut down the main bridge between Detroit and Canada with a new protest movement.
00:01:28.620
As a new front opens up in the fight for freedom against authoritarianism.
00:01:33.400
Next, President Macron of France has met with President Putin in Moscow to discuss the Ukraine situation.
00:01:40.440
We're going to get into it finally, Argentina officially has joined the CCP's Belt and Road Initiative.
00:01:46.380
And next, Dr. Jill Biden has admitted that her two free years plan of community college is DOA, dead on arrival.
00:02:42.540
And of course, Prime Minister Trudeau is out there saying, oh, we can't allow Canadians to treat other Canadians this way.
00:02:49.580
And some judge out in Ottawa just put in a 10-day injunction over honking.
00:02:53.960
Though I've been told that it's still legal if you play a recording of a honk, that wouldn't actually count as honking.
00:03:02.460
So that may actually be still legal under the new injunction.
00:03:05.600
I'm just saying, I'm not advocating one way or the other.
00:03:09.000
But out of the Detroit Free Press, we've now got a new front that's opened up in the war for freedom, the fight for freedom against biofascist mandates in Canada.
00:03:20.020
The bridge to Canada in Detroit has closed as Canadian protesters block the trade routes.
00:03:27.020
An ongoing protest in Canada over COVID-19 mandates has spilled over into Detroit on Monday evening via the Ambassador Bridge.
00:03:35.120
And if you've been to Detroit, this is the main bridge that connects Detroit to Canada.
00:03:39.220
This is one of the main thoroughfares of all trade between the United States and Canada.
00:03:44.000
The protesters blocked traffic on the largest international suspension bridge and prevented motorists from passing with signs calling for an end to the Band-Aids.
00:03:51.940
The bridge to Canada in Detroit is closed, according to the Michigan Department of Transportation.
00:03:56.580
And motorists should use the tunnel rather than the bridge or head to another blue water bridge that goes from Port Huron to Sarnia in Ontario.
00:04:07.520
The Windsor police on their side are saying, don't go there.
00:04:13.440
People are saying, Greg Ward, the president of Detroit-Windsor Truck Ferry, has been in the border crossing business for 30 years.
00:04:20.200
He says the border crossing of this bridge is unprecedented.
00:04:23.700
The last time he can remember it was shut down over a demonstration was in 1990 for an independent trucker protest.
00:04:31.020
This, of course, is used for transport goods for trade.
00:04:34.200
Businesses rely on educating their deliveries on time, et cetera, et cetera.
00:04:38.560
Obviously, of course, one of the main sources of auto parts from Canada to Detroit, obviously, the auto industry is still there.
00:04:48.180
It's been, you know, it's been hampered in recent years, but it is still there.
00:04:51.260
It's been impeded by many of these international agreements and the rise of China.
00:04:54.520
But the auto parts that still are coming across, they're coming across that very bridge.
00:05:03.280
This is what happens when you put your shoulder to the wheel and people take a stand.
00:05:12.060
When people say there are things that are more important to me, like freedom, than economic concerns, than how much money is in my bank account.
00:05:29.820
They know that in many cases, they get ticketed.
00:05:35.480
You've even seen some people getting arrested already over this.
00:05:38.700
People, you know, getting in trouble for, oh, I didn't show my ID fast enough.
00:05:46.640
You are going to see a crackdown from Prime Minister Trudeau and from his allies, just like a Castro.
00:06:04.700
Look, we are experiencing now an uprising of work.
00:06:12.580
This is not, I said it yesterday, this is not left and right.
00:06:19.220
But also, and Trudeau, you know, will say, oh, this is a fringe minority, right?
00:06:23.200
But understand, truckers and farmers are a strategic asset to any nation.
00:06:31.020
These are the people who actually run the country.
00:06:34.540
These are the literal backbone of every country.
00:06:37.080
We are only, mankind is only nine meals away from pure anarchy at any given time.
00:06:44.780
When you stop the food, you stop your civilization.
00:06:53.000
And the people in cities are about to start to figure this out very, very soon.
00:07:04.080
Well, there's an interesting thing going on on the Ukraine front.
00:07:07.660
So if you come here in Washington, D.C., where I am, the national capital region, the regime-occupied national capital region,
00:07:15.040
and you talk about Ukraine, people act as if, they act as if there's almost an active war going on right now.
00:07:23.080
People are saying, how many troops are going over?
00:07:29.340
I think I saw a guy at Le Diplomate frothing, actually frothing at the mouth while he was frothing his foamy latte,
00:07:36.440
talking about what Russia is going to do when they invade Kiev and people are making all these comments.
00:07:43.000
Are they going to, you know, come from the north?
0.95
00:07:48.960
Will they form a land bridge with the separatists in Donbass, right?
00:07:53.500
And nobody seems to be actually explaining, you know, why or that, you know, what is the strategic intent of doing that?
00:08:00.260
Why would they pick a fight with a country that clearly has allies that are several other nuclear powers?
00:08:07.280
Meanwhile, you got a guy, Emmanuel Macron, President Macron of France, who I'm no fan of, right?
00:08:11.920
In 2017, you can go and look at all his emails that I was able to link to from Twitter, hashtag MacronLeaks.
00:08:18.100
And you see a setup where he's actually gone to Moscow to sit down with Vladimir Putin to talk about does it make sense for the West, Western Europe, NATO, and the United States to go to war with Russia in the middle of winter right now?
00:08:43.760
You don't see President Biden going out and saying, oh, let's have a summit at Reykjavik or Geneva or any of these other places.
00:08:55.120
Meanwhile, President Biden's having these phone calls with President Zelensky, and they won't even release the transcript of it to let us know what was talked about.
00:09:04.340
Because we saw sources on the Ukrainian side who said the call did not go very well, and we talked about that here.
00:09:11.340
And then CNN tried to retract their story because they accidentally reported the truth.
00:09:17.760
They started reassessing it and putting in all these White House comments.
00:09:22.400
And you had Jim Shudo out there who's sort of like a wannabe Jake Taper.
00:09:26.160
So he was accusing CNN of spreading fake news on CNN even though he's on CNN.
00:09:35.100
But Macron goes over and talks to Putin, and they actually sit down at this ridiculously long table.
00:09:40.500
And it's actually the same table that when President Orban of Hungary was there recently, and they sat down.
00:09:46.240
It's the same one, but because there weren't any of those translators or interlocutors who were sitting down, there's no staff at the table.
00:09:53.000
It's just this weird—it's like that scene in Batman where he's having dinner with Vicky Vale.
00:10:01.140
And they're all the way at the end of that scene in Coming to America, which is this kind of ridiculously oversized table.
00:10:06.800
But it actually is kind of the same table that they've used for other meetings.
00:10:09.340
So the question becomes really, though, is what Russia is doing in their strategic geopolitical interests, as we've talked about on this program,
00:10:21.100
or are they just crazy, like everyone here in Washington, D.C. seems to think?
00:10:29.520
Well, let's play a clip of some of that exchange between President Macron and President Putin.
00:10:34.040
I see how much effort the current France leadership and the president personally put
00:10:39.220
to solve the crisis tied to providing equal security in Europe in a serious historic perspective
00:10:45.100
and to solve the issue of Ukraine's internal crisis in the southeast of the country.
00:10:50.140
I think today's discussion can start to show the direction of where we need to go in a de-escalation,
00:11:01.800
I'm pleased to have the opportunity to get into all these issues in detail
00:11:05.140
and start building together a useful response for Russia and the rest of Europe.
00:11:10.580
A useful response is, of course, one that allows war to be avoided
00:11:14.360
and build confidence, stability, and visibility for everyone.
00:11:17.720
So what's really amazing about this is that when you actually listen
00:11:25.960
you're finally hearing a discussion of what's going on vis-a-vis NATO,
00:11:35.240
which was originally set up as a response to the Warsaw Pact
00:11:40.140
The idea was the Western world is going to form a union,
00:11:46.800
but form a military pact in order to be ready for a potential war with the Soviet Union.
00:11:59.760
the missiles will be coming, the missiles will be flying,
00:12:06.000
They're going to come over Canada and your house.
1.00
00:12:10.800
Well, here's the thing that I don't think a lot of people get,
00:12:18.280
this huge foreign policy blob in Moscow, in the Kremlin,
00:12:24.400
The only problem is, or I guess the only difference is,
00:12:34.980
and they point to things like Libya, like Afghanistan, like Iraq.
00:12:39.000
And they say, look, we see what you've done to these countries, Yugoslavia.
0.86
00:12:49.540
And so President Putin and President Macron are actually sitting down saying,
00:12:56.680
So it's kind of amazing to see what happens when you actually discuss the situation,
00:13:00.780
instead of just freak out about what could possibly happen.
00:13:04.360
Well, the new and improved MyPillow.com has been uploaded and updated.
00:13:21.660
And the way they run it now is that when you put the promo code in right at the top,
00:13:25.360
the deals follow you wherever you go on the site.
00:13:31.720
You don't have to put it in every time when you go to checkout, et cetera.
00:13:34.360
You know, when I go shop on there, like I use promo code POSO as well, right?
00:13:46.400
And honestly, my family just likes them, right?
00:13:52.460
I got a little tent for the boys, like a play tent that we set up in our living room.
00:13:57.960
And we put all the different MyPillows inside there, the little ones they get with the Bible verses on the covers.
00:14:06.260
And then now every day he's running around the living room.
00:14:10.920
And then, boof, he just falls down on all of his MyPillows.
00:14:15.040
And then he gets them out and starts rolling around.
00:14:20.620
And, you know, they're kind of getting that brotherly.
00:14:22.680
So it's Jack-Jack and AJ, and they're starting to grow that brotherly bond.
00:14:31.000
They're reading to, you know, our Jack-Jack is reading to AJ on there.
00:14:36.460
And it's also cool to know that MyPillow is actually playing a part of that.
00:14:39.440
So check it out, MyPillow.com, the new updated website.
00:14:43.760
because the Olympic Diplomacy Blitz has netted Argentina for the CCP's Belt and Road Initiative.
00:14:52.440
Now, this should not come as a surprise to anybody who's been paying attention
00:14:55.540
to what we've been reporting here at Human Events Daily.
00:15:02.080
I don't get why so many people are trying to say this in the China Watcher community, right?
00:15:06.940
I think it's honestly a really, really bad cope from a lot of people.
00:15:15.240
and they're becoming a dominant player on the world stage.
00:15:23.060
In fact, they are becoming a global superpower.
00:15:26.700
And Xi Jinping, I've said this before, the Olympic ceremony was his coronation.
00:15:32.140
So we've got this video now from the president of Argentina meeting with Xi Jinping in Beijing,
00:15:37.640
essentially giving him respect and paying tribute to the new emperor.
00:15:54.360
impressed with that magnificent work and we felt very identified with everything that was the
00:16:02.280
trajectory of the revolution until the present, which has put China in the central place in the world.
0.70
00:16:09.600
Know that we, as well has said, we share a same philosophy of politics,
00:16:24.360
So, as we said before, it shouldn't come as a surprise. We've seen the CCP's links with the
00:16:39.720
African Union. We're now seeing their ties to South America. We've covered that a million times here,
00:16:44.140
and now they are officially signing up. They're officially signing up Argentina. They've inked
00:16:48.860
an agreement on jointly promoting the construction of the Silk Road economic belt and 21st century
00:16:54.780
maritime Silk Road, marking Argentina's entry into the initiative. And listen to this. Chinese
0.99
00:17:00.100
companies have invested more than $20 billion into non-financial direct investment on projects
00:17:06.340
in BRI countries in just 2021 alone. They are throwing their money everywhere. This is a trillion
00:17:13.780
dollar push. The deal comes, of course, as Argentine president Alberto Fernandez made a three-day visit
00:17:18.800
to China in which both sides said that they would continue to support each other on issues concerning
00:17:23.260
sovereign interests. She also met with the president of Pakistan, talking about Balochistan province.
00:17:28.460
He's meeting with central and eastern European powers. He's also met with the Singaporean president.
00:17:33.480
Look, understand. Understand what's going on. You are seeing a global geopolitical realignment now.
00:17:40.160
And you can read Mearsheimer on this. You can read Mackinder on this. But understand,
00:17:46.800
we are now—it is not the CCP who is in decline. It is this version of the global American or global
00:17:54.720
Western regime that is on the decline. The WTO, the UN, et cetera, NATO, that's all on the decline.
00:18:03.940
Well, Dr. Jill Biden, you know, that's actually interesting because I think we actually have,
00:18:13.280
for once, a refreshing bit of honesty from one of these politicians. And, oh, you can argue whether
00:18:20.140
or not Jill Biden's a politician, but she clearly got involved in politics on one specific issue.
1.00
00:18:24.860
And what was that? She promised, as part of the Biden agenda, that there would be, what,
00:18:30.220
two free years of community college. She said that. She said that repeatedly on the campaign trail.
00:18:36.480
She even went to, what was it, the Community College National Legislative Summit and said
00:18:42.740
that you would see fighting for two free years of college before the election.
00:18:48.880
And yet now that we're in the midst of the administration—by the way, the administration
00:18:53.120
that would have full control, right? Their party controls Congress, both House and the Senate,
00:18:59.520
right? You could get, supposedly, whatever you want done, right? Well, here's the problem with that.
00:19:06.560
Dr. Jill Biden has actually come out and admitted that it's not happening. This plan, this vaunted plan
00:19:13.040
for two free years of community college, DOA, will not be submitted in the Build Back Better bill.
00:19:22.700
This was going to be the signature, right? The signature agenda for Dr. Jill Biden. This was something—how many votes?
00:19:29.360
How many votes did they get from stupid people who believed political candidates would actually
00:19:35.020
keep their word, right? We had one president who did that, but most of them don't.
00:19:39.280
How many votes did you get by believing somebody before the election when they talked about this?
00:19:45.680
And we're pointing out the hypocrisy here. That's what we're doing. Do not trust career politicians.
00:19:51.120
And that's who the Bidens are. Mark my words. I've known them a long time. I remember when they used
00:19:56.720
to come up, and it was Senator Joe Biden and Dr. Jill Biden. They would come up at University of Pennsylvania,
00:20:02.560
and they'd hold all their dinners there. Back when Joe Biden—they used to refer to him as the third
00:20:06.960
senator of Pennsylvania, right? Because Delaware—even he himself would refer to him as himself as the
00:20:12.880
third senator of Pennsylvania, right? And they'd be wined and dined. And then he became vice president.
00:20:18.320
And so, of course, his ties to UPenn were really emphasized. Her ties to UPenn really emphasized Amy
00:20:23.200
Guttman. The whole story—we'll talk about it some other time. But this is who they are.
00:20:28.640
Understand who they are. Look, we've even got her on video admitting it.
00:20:33.040
Hi there. How are you? I'm so honored to have you here.
00:20:36.240
Well, thank you. Thanks. This is a very exciting initiative,
00:20:40.960
The idea of making community college free for students over the course of two years.
00:20:44.640
Why? Explain to us real quick how important this is and why it's so dear to your heart.
00:20:50.240
Well, I am a community college professor. I've been teaching over 30 years.
00:20:54.960
And I'm still teaching full-time. And so we want to make college affordable and accessible for
00:21:06.480
So a lot of college students tonight who are watching go to headsupamerica.us
00:21:13.600
and look it up, because it's for you. It's free for you.
00:21:17.680
Very exciting. Now, another very exciting thing...
00:21:23.280
You should never trust politicians. They will tell you one thing and they'll do another thing
00:21:28.880
when they get into office. They will use you. And so I'd say this to all the liberals out there,
00:21:34.000
to all the college students or 18-year-olds who are thinking about going to community college.
00:21:39.440
You voted for Joe Biden because you said, you know, this candidate really speaks to me.
00:21:44.000
And I really want those two free years. Or if you're someone who just thinks that it's a good idea
00:21:48.240
to give everyone college. Put this segment together with the first story today. Learn a trade.
00:21:55.760
You don't have to be a trucker, but I think everybody's realizing that being a trucker is
00:21:59.920
pretty darn important. And if you go do that, it's a lot of money. Huge backlog, by the way, over a year.
00:22:07.520
Well, we're out. That is it for Human Events Daily. Remember our top stories today. We talked about
00:22:13.760
the truckers. We talked about President Macron meeting with President Putin, talking about
00:22:18.000
diplomatic solutions. Argentina officially joining the CCP's Belt and Road Initiative. And finally,
00:22:23.840
why you should never trust the Biden family. This is your most highly valuable 20 minutes,
00:22:31.200
25 minutes a day. Our motto to you, be good, be brief, be gone. Remember the one piece of homework
00:22:35.840
that I do ask for each of you. Share this out with one of your Normie friends and then leave us your
00:22:40.160
five star review. Before we go, it's time for today's history break. 1965, President Johnson, LBJ,
00:22:47.600
deployed the first U.S. combat troops to South Vietnam with 3,500 Marines sent. And we were told at the
00:22:55.280
time they were just going to protect a U.S. air base near Da Nang. That's all it was going to be.
00:23:00.160
Yeah. Ten years later, we finally saw what happened. Ladies and gentlemen, you have my permission to lay
