00:00:25.780 The Poso Daily Brief.
00:00:30.000 This is what happens when the fourth turning meets fifth generation warfare.
00:00:39.880 A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran.
00:00:46.600 This is Human Events with your host, Jack Poso.
00:00:49.520 Christ is king.
00:00:51.100 Overnight fiery strikes across Ukraine amid the push for peace.
00:00:54.680 Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky writing,
00:00:56.960 the strikes, quote, only confirmed the need to put pressure on Moscow.
00:01:01.500 While President Trump is pinning his hopes for peace on direct talks
00:01:04.880 between Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
00:01:07.900 I thought it would be better if they met without me.
00:01:10.500 Just to see.
00:01:11.440 I want to see what goes on.
00:01:12.960 The president saying he would join a future session with both leaders if needed.
00:01:17.220 If necessary, and it probably would be.
00:01:19.700 But if necessary, I'll go and I'll probably be able to get it closed.
00:01:23.920 President Donald Trump has pulled security clearances from 37 intelligence officials
00:01:28.140 who he says have abused the public trust.
00:01:31.220 Those 37 individuals that we revoked directed the revocation of security clearances from today
00:01:38.060 by under the direction of President Trump.
00:01:41.080 They aided and abetted in this action, this seditious conspiracy that undermined our democracy.
00:01:48.940 Well, tonight, a Stockton truck driver is facing vehicular homicide charges after a deadly crash in Florida.
00:01:54.740 He's also now facing extradition and possible deportation.
00:01:58.140 28-year-old Harjinder Singh made his first appearance in court today.
00:02:01.920 The case is sparking attention from politicians questioning his immigration status
00:02:05.760 and why he was issued a California commercial driver's license.
00:02:09.760 President Donald Trump's putting teeth into a decades-old federal rule
00:02:13.080 requiring commercial truck drivers to read and speak English.
00:02:16.220 The executive order signed in April mandates that drivers must pass on-the-spot English proficiency tests
00:02:21.960 as a non-negotiable safety standard.
00:02:24.300 Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy says the law put in place during the Obama administration
00:02:28.960 has never properly been enforced.
00:02:30.880 Allowing drivers who cannot read stop signs or understand police officers' instructions
00:02:36.080 to operate an 80,000-pound big rig threatens the safety of every American on our roadway.
00:02:42.720 Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily.
00:02:47.460 We're here live in Washington, D.C., back in studio, back in studio here for the first day
00:02:54.220 after a couple of days on the road.
00:02:57.800 We did the show from Alaska.
00:03:00.260 We did the show the last two days up at the White House itself.
00:03:04.960 But now we are back in studio.
00:03:06.800 Today is August 20th, 2025, Anno, Domini.
00:03:11.640 So the questions now come down.
00:03:15.680 The bilateral meeting was held between President Trump and President Putin up there in Anchorage,
00:03:21.360 Alaska.
00:03:21.860 That was Friday.
00:03:23.460 Had the honor of traveling alongside the delegation on Air Force One.
00:03:28.140 It was there on the tarmac as President Putin and President Trump met one another.
00:03:33.600 Had the B-2 fly over our heads.
00:03:35.660 Everyone got to see that incredible, incredible moment, incredible historic moment.
00:03:40.560 They made the multilateral meeting at the White House.
00:03:42.800 That was on Monday.
00:03:44.660 So the questions come in.
00:03:48.380 Where, then, is the status of the deal?
00:03:52.120 President Trump, and over the weekend, we heard other members of the administration talking
00:03:57.920 about the question of security guarantees, security guarantees.
00:04:02.080 And President Trump said in an interview yesterday morning that perhaps those security guarantees
00:04:07.780 could include the use of British, German, and French troops as a peacekeeping force on the
00:04:16.140 ground in Ukraine.
00:04:17.260 I remarked yesterday at the White House press briefing where I got to sit in the new media
00:04:22.100 chair.
00:04:22.520 Hope everyone does that, by the way.
00:04:24.260 I hope everyone has the opportunity to.
00:04:26.040 And thank you to the White House press team, Caroline Levitt, and everyone else for allowing
00:04:29.900 me that opportunity.
00:04:31.160 But I asked, would that be possible to get the Russians to agree to, even though, given the
00:04:36.940 fact that they have unequivocally stated that they would not want or would not accept
00:04:42.660 NATO troops on the ground in Ukraine?
00:04:45.860 And, of course, these deliberations are ongoing.
00:04:50.040 Well, Foreign Minister of Russia, Sergei Lavrov, who was there at the meeting in Anchorage as
00:04:56.400 well, has come out and stated once again, no security guarantees that involve NATO troops.
00:05:03.700 However, he had an interesting statement, to say the least.
00:05:08.280 He said, why not security guarantees of the United Nations Permanent Security Council members,
00:05:17.140 which, of course, include the United States, Great Britain, and France.
00:05:21.140 But it would also include Russia as perhaps a member of this security guarantee, as well
00:05:27.800 as, who's the fifth member?
00:05:30.140 The People's Republic of China.
00:05:32.660 And we've been telling you that from the very start, that they were going to bring China
00:05:37.340 into all of this, because all of this is about the role of China moving forward.
00:05:41.660 So Sergei Lavrov brings this up, saying, let's get China involved.
00:05:46.340 Now, there's an interesting angle that you could look at from here, and we'll talk about
00:05:49.800 that with our next guest.
00:05:50.860 We've got Dan Caldwell coming in, former DOD official in the Trump administration, because
00:05:56.320 one of the pieces of skepticism on the Russian side of this has always been the two years,
00:06:02.800 four years cycle, the idea that if they make a deal with the Americans, how can you be sure
00:06:08.300 that the next administration or the next Congress is going to abide by that because they changed
00:06:14.140 leaders so quickly?
00:06:15.520 Well, one of the ways around that, of course, could be a security resolution, security council
00:06:23.200 resolution from the United Nations.
00:06:25.460 So have President Trump with his authority as the U.S. leader, President Putin with his
00:06:29.780 authority, Xi Jinping with his authority as well, get a resolution, maybe with 3-2, you
00:06:36.580 know, but prevent France and Great Britain from vetoing it.
00:06:40.980 Then you have the ability to actually enshrine something in this higher body.
00:06:46.620 And again, by the way, I'm not going to sit here and say the United Nations is some bastion
00:06:51.240 of efficiency, but you would at least have something that they could point to and say,
00:06:58.240 your government agreed to this.
00:07:00.680 We all agreed to this.
00:07:01.960 So let's all get on the same page.
00:07:04.320 Could it be possibly that the United Nations Permanent Security Council is the right
00:07:10.720 venue to move to next in this forum?
00:07:15.020 We're going to talk about that all and the probability of whether or not a deal gets made
00:07:18.780 in the next two weeks here on Human Events Daily, Real America's Voice.
00:07:22.280 We'll be right back.
00:07:25.720 We'll stand in our way.
00:07:27.580 And our golden age has just begun.
00:07:29.960 This is Human Events with Jack Posobiec.
00:07:31.720 Now it's time for everyone to understand what America First truly means.
00:07:36.180 Welcome to the second American Revolution.
00:07:42.840 All right, Jack Posobiec, here we are back.
00:07:44.880 Human Events Daily, Washington, D.C.
00:07:48.340 Today on Real America's Voice.
00:07:49.920 Folks, when President Trump won the biggest election of our lifetimes, he promised that
00:07:56.460 the economy would be popping within months of him taking office.
00:08:00.940 And you know something?
00:08:02.440 He was serious, especially when it comes to gold.
00:08:07.200 Now in April, gold shattered its all-time high, set 40 years ago when it hit $3,500 per ounce.
00:08:15.740 Silver is now on the rise too.
00:08:17.500 And with the way things are looking, especially with the uncertainty of war, the sky is the limit.
00:08:23.380 That's precisely why President Trump declared last week that he will not be placing tariffs
00:08:30.800 on gold.
00:08:32.080 It's very simple.
00:08:33.040 There's no stopping the precious metals market.
00:08:36.780 And that's why I partnered with Allegiance Gold.
00:08:40.940 Whether you're a collector looking for the best pricing in the precious metals space or
00:08:45.820 you're looking to really protect your family's future, it doesn't matter.
00:08:50.040 If it's $5,000 or $5 million, now's the time to act.
00:08:54.740 So just go.
00:08:55.660 It's really simple.

00:09:21.140 You may even qualify for up to $5,000, seriously, in free silver.
00:09:26.780 And with the way the market is looking, that free silver could be worth a lot more by the
00:09:32.840 time it actually arrives securely at your doorstep.
00:09:36.260 So give them a call, it's 844-577-POSO, or you can visit, of course, protectwithposo.com.

00:09:52.120 Call them, 844-577-7676.
00:09:55.260 All right, I want to get back into this.
00:09:58.620 A lot of these questions, the security guarantee, Russia's counter now with a security guarantee
00:10:03.940 from the United Nations.
00:10:04.960 We'll bring in our next guest.
00:10:06.780 It's Dan Caldwell, former DOD official in the Trump administration.
00:10:10.440 Dan, how are you?
00:10:12.140 Thanks for having me on, Jack.
00:10:14.460 Well, Dan, before we even get into the latest, just, you know, what is your take on all of
00:10:20.460 this?
00:10:20.740 We've seen the incredible visuals.
00:10:23.600 I got to see them with a front row seat there in Anchorage, as well as at the White
00:10:28.500 House for the multilateral meeting.
00:10:30.340 But when it really comes down to the nitty gritty, this is something that I've been saying
00:10:35.480 all weekend.
00:10:36.020 I'll say here again, you know, when we're talking about security guarantees or Article
00:10:40.720 5, that means that some country has got to roger up and say, we are willing to go to
00:10:47.300 war to put our country at war with the Russian Federation.
00:10:50.720 And in three and a half years of this thing, you have not seen any other member, whether
00:10:55.560 it be Europe, the EU, NATO or otherwise, nobody has been willing to do that.
00:11:01.140 People are willing to send arms.
00:11:02.420 They're willing to send money.
00:11:03.600 They're willing to send their emotional support.
00:11:06.000 But you know what?
00:11:06.640 You don't see actual boots on the ground.
00:11:09.700 So the question is, when it comes to these security guarantees, is this something that's
00:11:14.700 actually serious or not?
00:11:17.060 So we've actually been through this before.
00:11:20.620 Earlier this year, when I was in the Trump administration, is that the Europeans tried
00:11:25.860 to get together what at the time they were calling an assurance force.
00:11:30.040 It was a force that would deploy to Ukraine after a ceasefire, because at that time, the
00:11:35.860 focus was on getting a ceasefire and then going to a peace deal.
00:11:38.900 And by the way, I think Trump is right to recognize that trying to get a ceasefire and then a peace
00:11:44.340 deal is not a good idea.
00:11:46.340 And he's right to focus on securing a broader settlement to the conflict.
00:11:50.340 But the Europeans at that time, they were trying to get together 20,000 troops and they couldn't
00:11:55.860 do it.
00:11:57.040 Some of the biggest armies in Europe, whether it's the Polish, the Germans, the Italians,
00:12:02.320 they outright refused at the beginning to participate.
00:12:04.740 And then it really fell to the British and French and they could not pull together the
00:12:10.820 troops to do it.
00:12:12.000 And since then, not much has changed.
00:12:14.160 And you're kind of seeing the cycle repeat itself.
00:12:16.260 You've already seen the Germans come out and saying they aren't going to contribute.
00:12:19.180 They're saying, oh, well, we just deployed all these new troops to the Baltics.
00:12:21.980 We can't do it.
00:12:22.940 The Italians have said they aren't going to contribute.
00:12:24.880 The Poles have said they aren't going to contribute.
00:12:26.340 And today, both the French and British poured cold water on them actually contributing in
00:12:33.800 a significant way to a peacekeeping force that would be part of a security guarantee
00:12:38.200 or some type of post-conflict settlement.
00:12:42.600 So the point of me walking through that is this, is that I think, again, President Trump
00:12:47.240 has made significant progress here.
00:12:49.480 But what I'm increasingly worried about is that the Europeans are trying to do a bait
00:12:54.840 and switch on us, is that they're trying to get us to commit to doing certain things
00:12:59.020 and that they won't hold up their end of the bargain and lead us holding the bag in terms
00:13:04.560 of providing these security guarantees by ourselves.
00:13:08.060 So to those who are hopefully watching in the administration of the White House, I would
00:13:12.400 just say that you need to be incredibly careful here that the Europeans don't do what they've
00:13:17.300 been doing really the last 30, 40 years and pass the buck to us again and make us bear
00:13:23.200 the primary burden for solving yet another problem in Europe's backyard.
00:13:29.160 Well, and that's where it comes down to, because suddenly you hear this stuff about, oh, we're
00:13:34.680 going to provide a coordination and maybe some air cover and air support.
00:13:39.120 And it sounds a lot like a no-fly zone, which gets you into the same situation that it got
00:13:44.580 that these exact same conversations when they were happening at the time over Syria.
00:13:49.880 Because all of a sudden, if you're in a situation where we've got our combat air patrols up and
00:13:55.720 the Russians have theirs up, guess what?
00:13:57.480 One mishap, one issue that goes wrong, suddenly you're going to find yourselves in a shooting
00:14:03.100 war with Russia.
00:14:04.580 And this is something that even Barack Obama understood is not something the United States
00:14:10.180 wants to get into.
00:14:10.920 That's 100 percent correct.
00:14:13.340 And it's important to remember is that if you're going to establish a no-fly zone, that
00:14:17.960 that doesn't just entail flying planes over a certain area.
00:14:22.740 You saw this in the wars in the former Yugoslavia where NATO did a no-fly zone.
00:14:27.480 And then in Iraq, where the United States and Britain and then for a while, France did no-fly
00:14:32.700 zone.
00:14:32.960 It entails shooting down other aircraft and also bombing air defense sites that could
00:14:39.700 threaten American or NATO aircraft.
00:14:43.440 So that is something that I think will actually probably be a non-starter for the Russians and
00:14:49.940 something that we need to be incredibly cautious about.
00:14:52.200 Now, if air support means the United States helps move troops, assuming the Europeans can
00:14:57.800 get them together.
00:14:58.380 And as I said, that's really looking increasingly unlikely.
00:15:02.160 But if the British or French need help moving troops from one side of the continent to another
00:15:06.560 and that requires our airlift, okay, fine.
00:15:10.180 That's not that big of a deal.
00:15:12.160 But the minute you start to send assets across that border or you start to station certain
00:15:17.160 types of capability on the border in Poland or Romania or Slovakia or Hungary, that's when
00:15:23.780 things get really dangerous.
00:15:25.280 And so not only do I think it's a non-starter for the Russians, but if we go ahead with
00:15:31.060 it and focus a lot on it, we could start to get ourselves in a really difficult position.
00:15:39.140 Well, and so this is kind of where it comes down to because I just read through some of
00:15:44.940 Sergei Lavrov's comments earlier today and he mentioned right away, he said no NATO, but
00:15:52.100 he would be open to, and this was so interesting, members of the UN Permanent Security Council
00:15:59.380 contributing to the guarantees.
00:16:01.680 Now, he didn't talk about boots on the ground, but he was talking about guarantees.
00:16:05.020 So one would, I think at this point believe that there's some, a bit of synonymity between
00:16:13.560 this idea of a guarantee as well as a peacekeeping force.
00:16:18.100 But he mentioned something that not only, so okay, the UN Security Council, that's the
00:16:22.900 United States, that's France, that's Great Britain.
00:16:25.420 It's also, however, Russia, of course, who is one of Ukraine's neighbors, something he's
00:16:30.580 talking about.
00:16:31.360 And in addition, it's China, the People's Republic of China.
00:16:35.500 So possibly bringing China into all of this.
00:16:38.860 And while I think that obviously changes the calculus, I do think that there's perhaps
00:16:43.640 an interesting opening here for getting some kind of resolution done at the UN level, because
00:16:49.980 this is a rare time where you might actually be able to get the United States, Russia, and
00:16:54.420 China to all agree on a resolution.
00:16:56.460 Yeah, I think it's an interesting, you know, set of remarks from Lavrov, but it's also important
00:17:06.800 to note, and Jack, I know you've talked about this, is that the Russians have always recognized
00:17:11.300 that, you know, going forward, Ukraine's going to need some type of security guarantee, or maybe
00:17:17.340 the more important term is security architecture.
00:17:19.800 And what I mean by that is a collection of countries, both within Europe, possibly just
00:17:27.440 outside of Europe, like Turkey, and possibly even countries as far as field as Saudi Arabia
00:17:32.680 or India, to help guarantee their security going forward.
00:17:37.300 And again, security guarantees doesn't necessarily just mean troops on the ground.
00:17:42.740 It could mean things like that a certain set of countries provide training or certain
00:17:48.800 capabilities to the Ukrainians.
00:17:50.900 They commit to provide a certain amount of arms.
00:17:53.640 And that's actually somewhat of what our relationship with the Israelis is like, because we have
00:17:59.220 a memorandum of understanding that we're going to provide them X billion dollars worth of arms.
00:18:04.540 That's why a few years ago you had some people saying, hey, the Israel model as a security
00:18:09.540 guarantee structure would work for Ukraine.
00:18:12.860 Now, it's not a perfect solution.
00:18:14.480 Of course, the Russians would have concerns about us providing certain capabilities.
00:18:19.680 But again, a lot of people have this binary idea of how security guarantees work.
00:18:23.920 It's either like NATO Article 5 or it's nothing.
00:18:27.200 And there's a lot of different things in between that could work here and that ultimately the
00:18:32.880 Russians would agree to.
00:18:35.000 And again, they've admitted since 2022.
00:18:38.600 They, of course, have their interests.
00:18:40.240 They want some type of veto in saying it, and you understand why, but they have always
00:18:45.460 admitted that some post-conflict resolution is going to involve some type of security guarantee
00:18:51.300 for Ukraine.
00:18:52.040 It's just a matter of what it is and what it isn't.
00:18:55.080 And that's exactly right.
00:18:56.500 Dan, we've got a quick break coming up here.
00:18:58.840 I want to hold you over because this is the most important story in the world.
00:19:02.620 This is the top of the news cycle.
00:19:04.180 And we are going to get to the bottom of where all of this is going.
00:19:09.700 And who knows?
00:19:10.440 Perhaps in two weeks, we'll be in Moscow.
00:19:12.840 Jack Posobiec, Real America's Voice, Human Events Daily.
00:19:15.720 Right back.
00:19:22.400 You talk about influencers.
00:19:24.440 These are influencers.
00:19:26.280 And they're friends of mine.
00:19:28.680 Jack Posobiec.
00:19:30.200 Where's Jack?
00:19:31.120 Jack.
00:19:32.120 He's done a great job.
00:19:33.560 All right, Jack.
00:19:36.260 So we're back here.
00:19:37.440 Live Human Events Daily, Washington, D.C.
00:19:40.680 We're on with Dan Caldwell, former DOD official from the Trump administration.
00:19:45.840 We're talking about all these questions regarding a security framework for Ukraine.
00:19:50.640 And Dan, I'll just throw it to you.
00:19:52.880 And this is the $6 billion question.
00:19:56.620 But do you think that the sides can come together on this?
00:20:00.500 Because, you know, we keep hearing these questions about security guarantees.
00:20:04.100 But then it really comes down to it's like you hear President Trump.
00:20:09.260 He wants to do a deal.
00:20:10.460 You hear these leaders.
00:20:11.540 They seem like they want to do a deal.
00:20:13.940 The Russians have shown their willingness.
00:20:16.140 They flew all the way from Moscow to Anchorage, Alaska to talk about doing a deal.
00:20:20.580 It just seems like what's in the middle are this, this, this is it's the blob.
00:20:26.940 It's the media.
00:20:28.140 It's neocons.
00:20:29.500 It's the industrial complex.
00:20:31.220 All of these various things are standing in the way.
00:20:34.020 But it's an incredible situation where you actually have all of the world leaders fairly
00:20:40.240 aligned on this.
00:20:41.300 And, you know, certainly there's questions about, you know, is it the contact line or
00:20:44.760 the oblast line and those things that can be hammered out.
00:20:47.860 But it really seems as though the impediment to peace is not the leaders or the people involved
00:20:54.860 here.
00:20:55.220 It's as they call it, the men in dark suits.
00:20:59.800 Yes.
00:21:00.620 You know, I do think one thing that has been interesting to watch is that you have seen
00:21:08.140 certain European leaders, at least rhetorically, and of course, the Zelensky regime really start
00:21:15.820 to recognize that, look, we got to move away from this idea that we're going to achieve
00:21:21.900 this total victory against the Russians.
00:21:24.320 And I think the real turning point with that was when the United States demonstrated in early
00:21:29.120 March that it was willing to shut it all off.
00:21:32.220 And by all of it, I mean our aid, our intelligence, and other types of support that we were
00:21:37.820 providing to Ukraine.
00:21:39.460 That had demonstrated to the Europeans and the Ukrainians that, look, the United States
00:21:45.040 could walk away.
00:21:46.380 If we view that continuing to involve ourself in this conflict, continuing to try and drive
00:21:52.400 a peace arrangement that nobody seems to want, we will walk away.
00:21:56.880 And that, I saw that firsthand, is that changed the Ukrainian tune significantly.
00:22:02.080 So that was a very important move that the Trump administration did in early March.
00:22:06.900 And if you remember, everybody was melting down back then.
00:22:10.000 They were calling at the end of NATO and the liberal international order and all this other
00:22:14.120 nonsense.
00:22:14.900 But that was an important demonstration of American willingness to walk away, which creates incentives
00:22:21.640 for other people to do more and to do the right thing.
00:22:25.200 Now, I will say that I said specifically the European rhetoric has changed.
00:22:30.600 I think we need to acknowledge that there's a lot of people in Europe, and Europe isn't a
00:22:34.620 unitary entity who want this war to continue.
00:22:38.500 Again, it's not everybody in Europe, but there are a lot of people who want it to continue
00:22:42.320 for a variety of reasons.
00:22:44.280 Either they still cling to this delusion that Ukraine can win a total victory, or they think
00:22:49.560 it's in their interest for Russia to continue to lose troops in Ukraine.
00:22:53.180 Or they think it's a way to keep the United States over-invested in the continent in terms of providing
00:23:01.280 a security umbrella.
00:23:03.680 And really, that's what I think the main European goal has been the last couple weeks, is to
00:23:09.260 try and use a peace settlement, not necessarily just to end the war, but to keep the United
00:23:17.240 States involved in being the primary security provider for Europe.
00:23:23.240 And that's why they're trying to structure security guarantees in a certain way, where
00:23:27.280 they're calling it an American backstop, but what they really want is a leading role for
00:23:33.100 the United States.
00:23:33.980 And so, again, that's why I think the administration needs to be really careful about how these security
00:23:39.680 guarantees are structured and what the actual responsibilities of the United States are, and make sure the
00:23:45.200 Europeans don't buck past to us yet again.
00:23:48.560 Well, and of course, you've also got to run the situation of the potential for bad actors
00:23:54.120 to get involved here, because certainly there's elements of all sides here, as well as who
00:24:00.000 knows what other third parties could get in and really throw a monkey wrench in the works.
00:24:04.260 Because, you know, people, I remember the media kept saying, where's the ceasefire?
00:24:08.120 Why hasn't Trump gotten a ceasefire up in Anchorage?
00:24:10.580 And of course, how can he agree to a ceasefire when he's not one of the leaders of the armies
00:24:16.860 that are currently fighting?
00:24:18.420 So if he sits down and tells the Russians that we're going to have a ceasefire, and then
00:24:22.420 some Ukrainian brigade goes out and one of these drone forces launches an attack, then
00:24:27.860 who just broke the ceasefire?
00:24:29.220 Now you just bought the entire conflict at this point.
00:24:32.240 And the big worry here that you hear in D.C. a lot, that I'm hearing a lot too, is that
00:24:37.640 people don't want to get into a situation where this becomes Trump's Afghanistan, where
00:24:43.280 we saw the fall of Kabul and the absolute overrun of the Afghan National Army, the flight of the
00:24:50.540 prime minister out as the Taliban took over the entire country.
00:24:54.660 And unfortunately, the Russians have shown that they are far, far more willing to keep
00:25:01.560 fighting.
00:25:02.080 They're willing to go all the way up to the Neber River and possibly even march on Kiev
00:25:05.740 in the next couple of years here if they don't get a deal, because they're basically saying
00:25:10.660 we are willing to pay the price no matter the cost, because it's that it's it's it's in
00:25:15.900 our security interest to do so.
00:25:17.500 And the real question here is, will they be able to be satiated for whatever they're
00:25:23.480 given, whether from the Ukrainian side, as well as the security guarantees as well?
00:25:29.020 The enemy gets a vote.
00:25:30.980 Absolutely.
00:25:32.200 And I think you were alluding to this, but we also need to remember, too, is that that
00:25:37.500 the current government in Ukraine and I have to say they're not completely unified themselves.
00:25:42.640 You know, I won't exactly say who, but there are elements that I think would surprise a
00:25:47.780 lot of Americans that see the writing on the wall, that recognize that they need to end
00:25:53.640 this this war.
00:25:54.700 And there are people in the current government in Ukraine that are realistic and behind the
00:26:00.140 scenes, they're trying to drive an end to this conflict that preserves a decent future
00:26:05.660 for a Ukrainian nation.
00:26:07.420 However, I think it's fair to say that Zelensky and a lot of his closest aides, it is in their
00:26:13.340 interest for this war to continue.
00:26:15.500 I think we both know that if there are elections held the next few months, that Zelensky probably
00:26:20.100 loses.
00:26:20.920 He loses to somebody like Zeluzny, or he loses to somebody on the super far right, you know,
00:26:25.880 somebody associated with like an Azov battalion or a right sector type movement.
00:26:30.860 So it is in his interest for this war to continue for a period of time.
00:26:36.460 And you can't ignore that.
00:26:38.560 And that's why the United States, just like we were in March, needs to be prepared to
00:26:43.280 use its leverage over Ukraine to get them to agree to things that maybe seem ugly.
00:26:48.340 We've got to use leverage in every way possible.
00:26:52.040 And that's what President Trump is doing.
00:26:53.960 Dan, where can people go to follow you to get access to what you're putting out?
00:26:58.440 The best place is on my X account at Dan D Caldwell.
00:27:02.300 That's where I put out most of my work these days.
00:27:04.220 Folks, give him a follow.
00:27:07.160 Serious stuff only over there.
00:27:09.300 That's where the work really takes place.
00:27:10.800 Dan Caldwell.
00:27:11.600 Thanks so much, Ryan, for being on.
00:27:13.560 All right.
00:27:14.040 We'll be right back.
00:27:14.940 Real America's Voice, HumanVent Zero.
00:27:20.740 Jack, where is Jack?
00:27:23.340 Where is Jack?
00:27:25.680 Where is he?
00:27:26.960 Jack, I want to see you.
00:27:28.380 Great job, Jack.
00:27:32.020 Thank you.
00:27:32.780 What a job you do.
00:27:34.220 You know, we have an incredible thing.
00:27:35.600 We're always talking about the fake news and the bad, but we have guys, and these are the
00:27:40.080 guys who should be getting Pulisic.
00:27:43.420 All right, Jack Silvic, back here, Human Events Daily.
00:27:46.220 Really excited to have our next guest on.
00:27:48.320 We have Dr. Alejandro Diaz.
00:27:50.600 He is from the Wellness Company, and he is the Chief of Pediatric Medicine.
00:27:56.520 Dr. Diaz, how are you?
00:27:58.760 Hey, Jack.
00:27:59.520 How are you?
00:28:00.340 Thank you so much for having me on.
00:28:03.540 Of course, it was great to see you, by the way, over there in Warsaw.
00:28:07.200 I said, wow, the wellness companies, even over here in Warsaw, you guys are really covering
00:28:12.500 down on all your travel, because that's always when I get my wellness company kit, I always
00:28:18.420 make sure I grab it for my travel now.
00:28:20.880 Yeah, thank God.
00:28:21.820 The wellness company, it's everywhere.
00:28:23.160 Yeah, and it was a pleasure meeting you, and I think it was an amazing event during the
00:28:28.340 inauguration of President Abrotsky.
00:28:31.900 No, it was great.
00:28:32.820 And by the way, twc.health.poso, twc.health.poso, get your travel kits, get your emergency kits,
00:28:39.600 get everything.
00:28:40.780 Folks, I want to play now this clip that's just come out.
00:28:44.660 It's RFK Jr. talking about this huge announcement on mRNA vaccines.
00:28:50.020 At HHS, we have a division called the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority,
00:28:56.740 or BARDA.
00:28:58.220 BARDA drives some of our most advanced scientific research.
00:29:02.080 It funds developments of vaccines, drugs, diagnostics, and other tools to fight emergent
00:29:07.480 diseases and national health threats.
00:29:10.720 Over the past few weeks, BARDA reviewed 22 mRNA vaccine development investments and began
00:29:17.940 canceling them.
00:29:19.180 Let me explain why.
00:29:20.520 Most of these shots are for flu or COVID, but as the pandemic showed us, mRNA vaccines don't
00:29:26.020 perform well against viruses that infect the upper respiratory tract.
00:29:31.360 Here's the problem.
00:29:32.920 mRNA only codes for a small part of the viral proteins, usually a single antigen.
00:29:39.620 One mutation, and the vaccine becomes ineffective.
00:29:42.540 Millions of people, maybe even you or someone you know, got the Omicron variant despite being
00:29:49.460 vaccinated.
00:29:51.080 That's because a single mutation can make mRNA vaccines ineffective.
00:29:56.240 The same risk applies to flu.
00:29:58.580 After reviewing the science and consulting top experts at NIH and FDA, HHS has determined that
00:30:05.960 mRNA technology poses more risks and benefits for these respiratory viruses.
00:30:11.680 That's why, after extensive review, BARDA has begun the process of terminating these 22 contracts,
00:30:19.200 totaling just under $5 million.
00:30:22.980 So, huge announcement from our Secretary of Health there, RFK Jr.
00:30:29.140 Dr. Alejandro Diaz, can you walk us through why it was, and I think we've all sort of heard
00:30:35.300 about the issues with mRNA, but why was it specifically that RFK Jr. came in and said,
00:30:42.440 we're canceling this, it's terminated?
00:30:44.700 You know, Jack, what I can tell you is that this is bad news for a few, but great news for
00:30:51.580 the rest of the world.
00:30:53.180 You know, as an immunologist and very actively and an active voice internationally during the
00:30:58.780 initiation of the COVID operation, I was against this mass vaccination because that was an experimental
00:31:06.160 vaccine.
00:31:07.560 And now we know, unfortunately, the damage, it's already done.
00:31:12.420 But what I admire and deeply admire about Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., as well as Director of
00:31:20.140 NIH, Dr. J. Bhattacharya, is that they promise to make America healthy again through the Maha movement.
00:31:28.860 And that's exactly what they are delivering.
00:31:31.320 So, I'm very proud of them.
00:31:32.960 I am very proud of President Trump.
00:31:35.240 And I am very proud of what they're doing because that's exactly what we need.
00:31:39.600 But let me make something very clear.
00:31:43.060 And it's important to mention this to your audience.
00:31:45.320 Secretary Kennedy, he wants to make sure that everybody understands that the research for
00:31:53.960 mRNA, the research for mRNA will be only for upper respiratory viruses.
00:32:01.060 And I think that's an amazing, that's an amazing decision.
00:32:05.000 I'm very proud of them as an immunologist and obviously as a pediatrician.
00:32:09.120 So, when we look at this now, the response from Big Pharma, and anyone can just go see
00:32:18.160 the headlines, Wall Street Journal has a huge op-ed out saying RFK's dangerous attack on
00:32:25.040 mRNA research, biopharma drive, Kennedy's mRNA cuts could set U.S. science back, et cetera.
00:32:31.920 Even the LA Times is coming out now.
00:32:33.900 The BBC, NPR, they're fact-checking him left and right, Washington Post.
00:32:39.860 Are we seeing this big industry response because of the fact that he's doing exactly what he
00:32:46.720 said he would do on the campaign trail and that he's actually demanding that real studies
00:32:52.040 be done before U.S. taxpayer money is going to this new technology?
00:32:56.980 That is exactly right, Jack.
00:33:01.120 And, you know, he's delivering what he promised and I'm very supportive of him.
00:33:07.920 I had a very deep conversation with him once through Zoom and it's amazing the amount of
00:33:16.300 knowledge that he has in terms of medicine.
00:33:18.780 He's a lawyer, but I bet he knows, sometimes he knows more things than many, many of my colleagues.
00:33:25.860 So, they took an amazing turn of canceling these 22 mRNA contracts worth nearly $500 million.
00:33:38.120 And that's something.
00:33:39.260 That's something.
00:33:40.060 That's why I say bad news for a few and great news for the rest of the world.
00:33:45.020 And I think this is, we're going on the right track.
00:33:47.920 And so, when it comes down to it, though, how should people be looking at these mRNA vaccines?
00:33:57.200 You know, there's a lot of talk about them, a lot of skepticism, a lot of worry.
00:34:01.200 We now have several years of data just in terms of their mass adoption by a lot of people,
00:34:07.040 obviously, who took the vaccines.
00:34:09.160 What are we seeing that's come out as a result of this?
00:34:12.560 So, let me go through the numbers, Jack.
00:34:17.200 There are approximately 5.5 billion people who, unfortunately, took those jabs worldwide.
00:34:25.660 And we are seeing the damage.
00:34:28.580 We are seeing the collateral of all this and the side effects from myocarditis to pericarditis
00:34:36.840 to autoimmune disease, you know, problems on the skin, urticaria, hives, and infertility.
00:34:47.980 So many problems.
00:34:49.220 And I want to mention, you know, the turbo cancers.
00:34:53.140 We are seeing an increase in turbo cancers from lymphomas, breast cancer, brain cancer,
00:35:01.800 you know, you name it.
00:35:04.100 There's a lot of cancer going on, and there's a potential risk that we have to acknowledge
00:35:15.040 and just right after the application of this mass vaccination worldwide,
00:35:19.200 which I consider a human catastrophe.
00:35:21.540 And so, when we're looking at it that way, what are, can you walk us through some of those
00:35:29.780 symptoms for people who do potentially have these injuries?
00:35:35.860 Well, we see, I don't know if you're familiar with POTS, POTS syndrome.
00:35:41.720 You know, these are patients that they start to get dizziness, palpitation, and they weakness
00:35:46.960 and things along that line, their life just changed.
00:35:51.740 That's only for POTS, and we're starting to see a lot of POTS everywhere.
00:35:55.340 I diagnose POTS very regularly in my clinic.
00:35:58.760 Also, myocarditis, which is the inflammation of the heart, pericarditis, which is the inflammation
00:36:04.460 of the sac that covers the heart.
00:36:06.720 A lot of thyroid problems, autoimmune problems, skin problems, and so this was a catastrophe.
00:36:17.020 You know, I was very, hardly criticized because I, first, because I predicted the pandemic a
00:36:23.640 year before.
00:36:24.460 That's kind of my journey.
00:36:26.840 I predicted the pandemic because a year before, on the third week of October 2018, because I
00:36:34.060 was watching very closely what was happening at the global sphere, what was happening in
00:36:38.800 Europe, what was happening in Canada, United States, Central America, South America, and
00:36:43.660 what happened during the gathering of the caravans in Honduras on the third week of October 2018.
00:36:49.840 And we were just about to be 100 years after the last pandemic, which was the Spanish flu in
00:36:59.680 1918.
00:37:01.240 So I only thought, you know, this is chaos and we need a reset.
00:37:06.900 And there's, I thought that it was a pandemic coming.
00:37:09.580 And I said it on national television.
00:37:11.540 We saw so much come out and everything that was done.
00:37:16.720 And then they handed the entire country over to Dr. Anthony Fauci.
00:37:21.000 And by the way, you know, every time I think about this guy and what he did, and you go back
00:37:25.720 to it, Ed Martin now has the emails that are starting to come out that said, you know what,
00:37:30.600 even Biden's Department of Justice had problems with the pardons that were being signed by
00:37:36.140 this auto pen.
00:37:37.000 And that thing is completely invalid that that pardon was not signed by the president of
00:37:42.000 the United States.
00:37:42.780 And he was certainly not acting in good faith and of sound mind when he wrote that thing.
00:37:47.820 I think Dr. Fauci's pardon should be challenged.
00:37:50.460 I think they should challenge that, take it all the way to the Supreme Court.
00:37:53.060 It was obviously not done properly.
00:37:56.840 And he needs to be invested.
00:37:58.140 By the way, states can also go after this guy and look at what he did, the lies that were
00:38:03.720 told, the fact that this happened and affected so many people.
00:38:08.800 That's what Dr. Fauci needs to worry about.
00:38:12.180 Be right back.
00:38:12.860 Jack Kosovic, America's Voice.
00:38:14.400 In the next day.

00:39:16.780 I've got them for myself.
00:39:17.840 I got them for my wife.
00:39:18.900 I've got them for my family members.
00:39:20.840 We just keep loading up.
00:39:23.320 And it makes a great gift, too, if you want to get it in terms of that for something that's
00:39:27.940 a little bit different, but also something that really helps people in your family.
00:39:33.640 I wanted to also get into, I wanted to also get into, there's been a story that has been,
00:39:41.360 and Dr. Diaz, this has been really rocking all over social media.
00:39:45.940 People came to me with it, and then boom, we see this in Martha's Vineyard just a couple
00:39:50.420 of days ago.
00:39:51.740 Meat and dairy allergies they claim from tick bites are now skyrocketing.
00:39:57.920 Where in Martha's Vineyard this summer, as well as all over the country, they're talking
00:40:05.680 about this alpha-gal syndrome.
00:40:08.980 I want to play a clip now describing it.
00:40:12.440 I have, like, meat for dinner at night, and I'd be absolutely fine after I ate it.
00:40:18.980 And then in the middle of the night, I would wake up, and I would be throwing up or have
00:40:24.800 severe stomach pain.
00:40:26.280 I have abnormal levels of the alpha-gal in my blood work.
00:40:31.040 The bite of a lone star tick seems to cause an immune system response that can result in
00:40:37.660 folks having an allergic reaction to the consumption or exposure to this alpha-gal sugar.
00:40:45.080 Prior to her diagnosis, Miller says she struggled with mysterious and uncomfortable symptoms for
00:40:51.340 years.
00:40:51.860 Miller says she would also get hives or rashes, asthma issues, and fatigue.
00:40:56.880 You start thinking that it's in your head you're making these things up.
00:41:01.580 The muscle aches and problems with my muscles and stuff like that.
00:41:05.600 What's the first thing you go to?
00:41:07.060 You go to an anti-inflammatory.
00:41:09.620 You go to Tylenol.
00:41:10.640 You go to some ibuprofen.
00:41:12.520 Well, I was making it worse because they have mammal products in them.
00:41:15.660 Dr. Diaz, walk us through this.
00:41:20.240 What is alpha-gal syndrome?
00:41:22.360 Why does it seemingly cause this allergy to meat and dairy products?
00:41:29.700 And is this really just something that came out of ticks?
00:41:32.840 Well, I didn't know you were going to ask me this, Jack, but this is very interesting.
00:41:38.800 And it's very kind of fairly new syndrome.
00:41:41.760 And it's called alpha-gal syndrome or AGS.
00:41:45.720 There has been diagnosed approximately 90,000 cases since the early 2000s.
00:41:53.260 That's pretty much about 11,000 cases approximately a year.
00:41:57.800 And so what it is, it's a foreign protein that it gets from a tick bite.
00:42:06.720 And the reason it's called alpha-gala-1, it's because there are two molecules of galactose,
00:42:14.880 which is galactose-1-alpha-1-3-galactose.
00:42:19.660 And it's a foreign protein because that protein, it's unique for mammals, specifically cows, pork, deer, and lamb,
00:42:30.320 and many others, but these are the most important.
00:42:32.640 It does not exist in humans.
00:42:35.800 So once you get infected or once you get a tick bite, you will get sensitized,
00:42:41.120 and the patient will produce what we call IgE, specific antibodies.
00:42:47.160 So when that specific person or patient will eat red meat again,
00:42:54.020 they can develop what we call a severe, kind of severe allergic reaction with skin hives,
00:43:02.760 swelling of the ears, the eye, the lips, respiratory problems like coughing, whistling, shortness of breath,
00:43:11.760 heart problems as well, low pressure, palpitations, gastrointestinal problems like diarrhea, abdominal pain.
00:43:22.760 And, you know, it mimics an allergic reaction, almost an anaphylactic reaction.
00:43:28.240 So it is very interesting.
00:43:29.920 The tricky part here, Jack, is that you have to be very well-trained.
00:43:34.760 Why?
00:43:35.720 Because as allergists, we see patients that they develop what we call hypersensitivity type 1.
00:43:43.980 That's an immediate reaction.
00:43:45.620 Like, let's say somebody is allergic to peanut.
00:43:50.360 They eat peanut, and immediately, within minutes, sometimes seconds, they develop the problem.
00:43:56.820 Same for the other allergens.
00:43:58.340 Here, it's a different story.
00:43:59.880 It can take from two to six hours after that.
00:44:04.900 So it's kind of tricky.
00:44:06.300 And the other tricky part for my allergy colleagues worldwide is that not every time that the patient,
00:44:14.540 that it's allergic to this foreign protein, will develop when they eat red meat again.
00:44:22.480 So it's very tricky.
00:44:24.240 It's a fairly new kind of disease.
00:44:27.400 And we have to be prepared.
00:44:29.520 So I recommend everybody to go and be checked by their allergist.
00:44:36.800 I think that's exactly right.
00:44:38.700 And for folks that are worried about this in general, I would also suggest twc.health.poso.
00:44:44.700 Just head in there.
00:44:46.280 Make sure you've got stockpiles that are run up on this.
00:44:49.820 But this syndrome, you know, it's really just the symptoms of it are really strange.
00:44:56.680 And it's got a lot of conversation out there about, you know, where it really was that the origins of alpha-gal came from.
00:45:06.100 And I'm honestly not someone who's dug in on it as much as I was on COVID-19.
00:45:12.820 But I do hear a lot of people saying that it acts very differently to other syndromes that we've seen before.
00:45:20.920 Yeah, so I'm an allergist, immunologist, and pediatrician.
00:45:25.980 So I've been trained to see all sort of allergic reactions and those kind of reactions.
00:45:33.680 We have been in touch with ticks for thousands of years.
00:45:37.920 We've been eating red meat for thousands of years.
00:45:41.420 How come this is a new trend?
00:45:44.000 So it's important.
00:45:45.020 You know, here I just want to put the facts and then I want everybody to make their own conclusions.
00:45:52.500 Well, no, I think that's exactly right.
00:45:57.860 And it's obviously something new, some kind of new syndrome that's come out.
00:46:03.000 And the fact that it's all over Martha's Vineyard, of all places, is incredible as well.
00:46:08.720 Because you imagine when you think in terms of vaccination rates, when you think in terms of boosters, they've got everything.
00:46:15.300 They've got absolutely everything up in Martha's Vineyard that you've got concierge doctors and all the rest.
00:46:20.560 And yet even they can't seem to figure out how to deal with this.
00:46:25.380 That is exactly right.
00:46:27.060 And something important to mention is that the vast majority of all the cases, this close to 90,000 cases, they have seen in southeast of the United States and Midwest.
00:46:40.220 So it's interesting.
00:46:41.340 There's, you know, there are some important issues that we have to take a look at as allergists.
00:46:48.900 No, I think it's exactly right.
00:46:50.560 And, you know, it's something that, of course, you know, people worry about Lyme disease, you know, even to this day, the other famous tick-borne illness.
00:46:58.800 And it's something that it's even to this day, as even though that's been around for decades at this point, that's still something that causes a lot of concern.
00:47:08.960 And can be, again, in some cases, still be deadly.
00:47:13.860 Yes, definitely.
00:47:15.040 Yeah.
00:47:15.500 Once anybody is facing one of our biggest fear as allergists or, you know, doctors, it's to encounter with a patient with an anaphylactic reaction.
00:47:26.680 That's a life-threatening problem.
00:47:28.800 And we have to act immediately.
00:47:31.260 But I strongly recommend anybody who are dealing with new hives and things along this line that they go in and be checked by their local allergists.
00:47:43.260 I couldn't agree more.
00:47:47.420 And so thank you, Dr. Alejandro Diaz.
00:47:50.040 I want to remind people again, go and check out twc.health.poso, twc.health.poso.
00:47:57.680 If you're looking for some spike detox or you want to just have one of their travel kits or emergency kits, I urge you to have them because you never know.
00:48:06.820 Thanks again for joining us.
00:48:08.620 Ladies and gentlemen, as always, you have my permission to write short.
