I've talked to the team. We have just a few tickets left.
00:00:49.460
So if you're in the area, if you're planning on being in the area,
00:00:52.080
it's a really fun event to come to right before Christmas.
00:00:59.860
Today's edition of Human Events Daily, powered by Turning Point USA.
00:01:05.640
A CNN senior producer was arrested for child sex trafficking.
00:01:10.480
Next, the Antifa San Diego cell has been broken up by prosecutors.
00:01:16.360
Third, a poll has found that public confidence in the woke military is in free fall.
00:01:24.960
And he's attacking Kyle Rittenhouse on a new podcast.
00:01:29.500
So this story today is something that broke late last Friday.
00:01:46.720
And really, if you were anywhere on social media, you saw this.
00:01:51.240
Now, if you weren't on social media, you wouldn't have seen it
00:01:52.900
because I don't think anywhere in corporate media wanted to talk about this story
00:01:57.740
because it's disgusting, it's horrific, and it made me sick to my stomach to read this indictment.
00:02:03.820
But a CNN senior producer, a guy who worked for New Day, worked directly with Chris Cuomo for years,
00:02:19.460
And I'm going to go directly to CNN's own reporting on this
00:02:23.840
because I know what they're going to try to say.
00:02:26.020
They're going to say, oh, Poso is making this a huge deal.
00:02:32.300
All right, I'm going to go to CNN.com, to their own article, to explain what's going on.
00:02:39.800
CNN producer John Griffin arrested for attempting to persuade minors
00:02:46.980
A Connecticut man, John Griffin, was arrested Friday and charged with three counts
00:02:50.840
of using a facility of interstate commerce to attempt to entice minors
00:02:57.860
The U.S. State's Attorney's Office for the District of Vermont said,
00:03:02.300
in a news release, Griffin has been a producer with CNN for eight years.
00:03:06.020
The charges against Mr. Griffin are deeply disturbing.
00:03:10.800
The charges stem from conversations between Griffin and the purported parents of minor daughters,
00:03:16.240
in which he allegedly tried to persuade them to allow him to train their daughters
00:03:22.420
to be sexually submissive, as well as an incident in which prosecutors allege unlawful sexual activity
00:03:34.420
According to an indictment filed on Thursday, Griffin allegedly paid for and kept up an online profile
00:03:39.820
on a BDSM and fetish site for several years leading up to July 2020,
00:03:46.440
on which he allegedly wrote he was looking for women who were, quote,
00:03:51.960
During conversations on separate online platforms,
00:03:54.380
Griffin allegedly said he believed in a way of life
00:03:57.060
in which women are sexually subservient and inferior to men.
00:04:03.600
According to the indictment, he allegedly used online platforms to seek parents who, quote,
00:04:08.480
would allow him to train their minor daughters to be subservient.
00:04:13.820
Around February 2020, Griffin allegedly acquired a Vermont ski house
00:04:18.920
in which he offered to host mothers and their minor daughters
00:04:22.660
for training sessions according to the purposes.
00:04:27.380
In June and July of 2020, Griffin allegedly talked online and on the phone
00:04:31.920
with someone who claimed to be the mother of two girls, 9 and 13.
00:04:35.500
He paid them more than $3,000 to fly the mother and her nine-year-old girl to Boston in July,
00:04:42.980
where prosecutors say that he picked them up from the airport,
00:04:47.700
and the child was directed to engage in and did engage in illegal sexual activity,
00:04:59.920
But let's go back to just a couple of months ago
00:05:05.500
While all this was going on, here's what you heard on air.
00:05:11.060
continued to spread and endorse these deranged conspiracy theories.
00:05:16.540
Last night he said he did not know whether what QAnon says is true,
00:05:21.920
the idea that the country is secretly run by a satanic cult of pedophilic cannibals.
00:05:32.080
Let me just tell you, what I do hear about it is they are very strongly against pedophilia.
00:05:49.180
I don't know that, and neither do you know that, Philip.
00:05:53.220
He's talking about whether or not the nation is secretly run by a cabal
00:06:13.360
And you can go through and find thousands of pictures of this guy
00:06:16.860
all throughout trips with CNN, foreign trips with CNN, trips with Chris Cuomo.
00:06:23.720
Why would you trust anything that this network tells you?
00:06:27.540
They think they can go and investigate things that are going on behind closed doors
00:06:33.660
in government, in the intelligence community, in politics,
00:06:38.640
and yet they have this guy working for them in their own office.
00:06:45.260
This week, I guarantee you, they're going to act like the story never happened.
00:07:02.840
Our new tech overlords have decided that we are no longer welcome on their platforms.
00:07:09.520
Get on the lifeboat, and the lifeboat that I'm choosing is Getter.
00:07:18.560
Think of it as your lifeboat away from Silicon Valley.
00:07:25.520
The people that won't let you talk about all the kind of subjects that we talk about here.
00:07:29.480
The ones who won't let you talk about the medical tyranny that's going on in our country.
00:07:33.260
They won't let you talk about everything that happened in 2020.
00:07:40.960
Make sure you're going and getting on Getter today.
00:07:44.680
A headline that I really didn't think that I was going to see,
00:07:48.940
Though Newsweek has been, like, slightly okay lately.
00:07:56.000
Prosecutors make the first move to break up an Antifa cell as 11 activists are charged with violence.
00:08:04.400
The story, of course, by my friend Andy Ngo, who is writing in Newsweek.
00:08:07.720
For the first time in the U.S., prosecutors are attempting to break up a network of alleged violent Antifa cells.
00:08:14.280
This week, the San Diego County District Attorney's Office charged 11 alleged Antifa members with felony conspiracy and felony assault charges, among other crimes, in a riot case where supporters of former President Trump and random bystanders were beaten in Pacific Beach, California, in January.
00:08:36.860
Arrest warrants and search warrants are coming down San Diego County, L.A. County.
00:08:40.540
Police recovered three guns, ammunition, body armor, and drugs.
00:08:45.820
The large operation, the largest that I've seen, certainly to date in terms of Antifa, has gone down involving mutual support from multiple law enforcement agencies in Los Angeles, Long Beach, and Escondido.
00:08:57.780
This is sending shockwaves through the far-left networks in Southern California.
00:09:04.120
They're out there raising funds for their comrades.
00:09:07.040
Now, as you can imagine, the left-wing networks are freaking out about this, but you have conservatives out there and patriots and just normal Americans who are saying, thank God.
00:09:16.180
And finally, finally, someone is doing something about these groups that have been able to operate with complete impunity for the past five, six years, specifically in the state of California.
00:09:29.440
We certainly haven't seen this around Denver or any of the Western states or in the Midwest, et cetera.
00:09:34.520
Chicago, this is something that needs to be done to these violent networks nationwide.
00:09:39.920
Take a look at this video describing some of the charges and some of the suspects just released.
00:09:45.080
After demonstrators clashed at a pro-Trump rally in Pacific Beach, six out of ten people are now answering to charges.
00:10:47.240
In this case, we have Mr. Mora using bear mace on multiple individuals.
00:10:51.860
We have Mr. Mora attempting to swing at a local photographer.
00:10:55.100
It essentially is a group beatdown that happens over eight different attacks involving 16 different victims.
00:11:01.200
And it is a series of events, so it's hard to pick out specifically what individuals do.
00:11:08.360
The DA's office says video evidence overwhelmingly shows the violence was committed by the Antifa groups
00:11:14.900
and was not a, quote, mutual fray between two groups.
00:11:19.680
If convicted, the defendants face anywhere from probation to up to 10 years in prison.
00:11:25.340
So for people to understand who Antifa is, you have to understand the purpose of Antifa.
00:11:36.080
My hand is getting sore from signing copies of this thing for Christmas this year as we do the autographed copies.
00:11:41.500
But understand, Antifa exists as a destabilization force.
00:11:53.440
They are the people that the ruling class is using as their shock troops in the streets.
00:12:00.460
They're going after anybody who's actually anti-establishment, who's actually a dissident,
00:12:05.740
who actually cares about their country, who actually cares specifically about the people of the United States.
00:12:15.040
If you stand up for your country, if you stand up for your school, if you stand up for your kids,
00:12:19.300
if you stand up for bodily autonomy, Antifa's coming after you.
00:12:27.640
And once the totalitarian regime gets completely established here,
00:12:35.300
And that's what's going on now in San Diego and L.A.
00:12:38.780
They're getting locked up because they don't need them anymore.
00:12:42.140
Why wasn't this done at all for the past five years?
00:12:49.760
And they wanted the actual, if you look up the root word of terrorism,
00:12:53.800
it goes back to the Jacobins and their terror campaign in the French Revolution.
00:12:58.440
The use of terror as a political tool, a political weapon.
00:13:02.460
That was the point of Antifa, to inject terror into anyone who was a patriot,
00:13:07.200
anyone who actually cared about their country, anyone who was a conservative, a Christian.
00:13:10.840
It was to make you terrified to go out in public.
00:13:16.640
So thank you for continuing to support our show, for continuing to support us, the work we do here.
00:13:25.320
If you want to continue that, and by the way, if you want to continue to support your family
00:13:28.800
and to support others out there, go to MyPivola.com.
00:13:39.360
And one thing that we did this year, we wanted to add in a little bit extra.
00:13:43.140
So we ordered a couple extra things, some items we ordered doubles of.
00:13:46.760
One is, of course, going to be presents for us, for our family, for our kids.
00:13:49.700
The other one is going to be donated to our local church,
00:13:52.440
and they're going to be able to give that through the parish to needy families in the community.
00:13:56.000
And that's just something that we're doing a little bit extra.
00:13:57.820
So we're adding MyPivola, the sheets, the dog beds, the towels, the mattress toppers,
00:14:03.020
everything else they have, the body pillows, which are on sale right now.
00:14:05.460
We're going to be using those, but then also the Bible story pillows, the entire collection.
00:14:13.620
They're going to distribute them through the community.
00:14:17.420
Make it part of your giving and part of your shopping this year.
00:14:22.840
I don't think this is going to surprise anybody.
00:14:26.020
They just ran a new poll about confidence in our military.
00:14:30.440
Where do you suppose confidence in the military is?
00:14:35.460
after all of these years of pushing critical race theory
00:14:38.460
and recruiting woke people for the military, for the CIA, the intelligence community,
00:14:44.920
the people who are supposed to be keeping our country safe,
00:14:51.200
Where do you suppose confidence is when you see the debacle in Afghanistan,
00:14:55.400
the fact that we can't maintain any of our alliances around the world,
00:15:00.520
and you have the military running around with these new recruitment ads
00:15:04.320
that are all talking about finding yourself and woke values and fighting for this junk
00:15:14.100
The poll found a 25-point drop in confidence in the military.
00:15:20.320
For the first time, as far as I know, I've never heard about this,
00:15:23.320
in U.S. history, less than half the country has confidence in our military.
00:15:29.760
The military used to be the number one most trusted institution in the entire country.
00:15:36.100
Even if you didn't trust the politicians, even if you didn't trust the military,
00:15:39.000
and you definitely don't want to trust Congress,
00:15:41.360
you still at least trusted the men and women of the United States Armed Forces.
00:15:46.820
And I say this as a veteran, they need to get their act together.
00:15:53.360
Only 45% of those polled reported a great deal of trust and confidence in the military.
00:16:01.700
And increasing numbers of Americans say they have little or not much confidence in the military,
00:16:06.080
and that little confidence in the military is up 15 points.
00:16:11.440
Although I had a fairly typical childhood, took ballet, played violin, I also marched for equality.
00:16:20.240
I like to think I've been defending freedom from an early age.
00:16:26.300
When I was six years old, one of my moms had an accident that left her paralyzed.
00:16:33.860
But she tapped into my family's pride to get back on her feet,
00:16:38.140
eventually standing at the altar to marry my other mom.
00:16:42.000
With such powerful role models, I finished high school at the top of my class,
00:16:47.140
and then attended UC Davis, where I joined a sorority full of other strong women.
00:16:53.040
But as graduation approached, I began feeling like I'd been handed so much in life.
00:17:01.120
Sure, I'd spent my life around inspiring women.
00:17:07.720
One of my sorority sisters was studying abroad in Italy.
00:17:18.860
And after meeting with an army recruiter, I found it.
00:17:25.240
And maybe shatter some stereotypes along the way.
00:17:27.800
Perhaps it should come as no surprise, Zero Hedge is a great line on this.
00:17:31.620
Because over the past year especially, the Pentagon has openly devoted itself to the woke agenda,
00:17:36.280
putting out recruitment videos that focus not on forging leaders, strength and conditioning,
00:17:41.340
preparing for war fighting, overcoming obstacles.
00:17:44.200
It's diversity, acceptance, and gender studies.
00:17:50.700
So if you look at this, a really interesting point that Zero Hedge is making,
00:17:54.260
that when you understand the representation of where our military comes from,
00:17:58.280
traditionally, the over-representation in the military,
00:18:01.780
and I could say this as a veteran, I remember this certainly,
00:18:05.460
The southern and western states are over-represented in our military.
00:18:09.060
It is the northern states, particularly the northeastern states,
00:18:12.000
that you just do not find people there joining the military.
00:18:16.740
We are not going to be able to operate as a military force going forward.
00:18:25.800
Assistant Deputy District Attorney Thomas Binger.
00:18:31.680
He was the star, the antagonist of the Kyle Rittenhouse trial.
00:18:36.580
And I told you that we weren't going to be done with you, Tommy Bigger.
00:18:44.100
Yeah, we know about your Yahoo account, by the way.
00:18:47.220
And we also are going to, we're not, because I'm not the kind of guy
00:18:50.180
that would want to bring up the fact that you got thrown out of your house
00:18:54.500
and you're now sleeping in the basement of one of your bros.
00:18:58.080
I would never bring that up because I'm not the kind of guy
00:19:03.040
But one thing that I will talk about is you going on to a podcast
00:19:06.880
and continuing to lie, attack, smear, and besmirch the good name,
00:19:17.600
They got him off the stand as quickly as they could.
00:19:21.460
Because they knew this is a kid who can, they can only fill his head with so much coaching
00:19:27.840
And after five or six hours on the stand, it's not going to last.
00:19:34.420
You know, they spent months, I'm sure, and money and time with whoever's out there
00:19:42.200
And I think on his direct examination, I think he did a nice job.
00:19:56.620
There was a time in which he started breaking down and crying,
00:20:03.960
I thought that it was prompted by his own selfish fear
00:20:08.320
or what he claimed to be his fear at that time,
00:20:10.360
which I think is a less than sympathetic prompt for crying.
00:20:13.720
I think the tears were manufactured, crocodile tears,
00:20:19.840
So the real thing here for people to understand
00:20:22.060
is that Binger is doing this podcast, but he wasn't supposed to be.
00:20:27.880
This is against all the rules in the Bar Association book,
00:20:44.120
He knows that there is actually a public campaign now
00:20:52.300
for altering the evidence, tampering the evidence,
00:20:57.920
and make sure that he made it look like Kyle Rittenhouse
00:21:04.260
that only Binger seemed to be able to get a hold of,
00:21:09.740
with the AR-15, and is now suddenly left-handed,
00:21:20.820
the same way that we've seen Kyle every single other time with that gun.
00:21:24.120
You altered evidence, and you should go to jail for that.
00:21:27.600
You should certainly be disbarred, and worse should happen to you.
00:21:33.120
But what Binger's doing by going on the Bar Association podcast
00:21:38.020
is he is shoring up his support with the establishment.
00:21:42.180
This is the establishment going to Binger and saying,
00:21:57.220
We're going to make sure that none of these big, bad citizens,
00:22:16.560
In 10 years in Kenosha, you're going to see Judge Binger.
00:22:19.480
Today, Human Events Daily, thank you for supporting us.
00:22:28.340
that during the show here, I've had a little sidekick.
00:22:45.880
But before we go, it's time for today's moment of history.
00:23:00.020
who described what happened in the revolution there.
00:23:02.480
One thing he wrote towards the end of his life,
00:23:05.480
if I were asked today to formulate as concisely as possible
00:23:12.560
I could not put it more accurately than to repeat,
