And finally, the FBI just fired the lead agent in the Governor Whitmer kidnapping operation. All this and more, on today s edition of Human Events Daily.
00:02:59.680I think the normal, low-tech, healthy things are the best thing that you can do, David, is stay healthy.
00:03:05.520All right, well, I'm going to try to do that.
00:03:06.940And hopefully when I next see you, I will be even healthier than I am today.
00:03:10.820I would imagine you would be, and I look forward to that.
00:03:13.120So it's kind of amazing listening to Dr. Fauci in that clip because he's talking about things that you've heard so many people refer to and wonder why it is that our government isn't talking about healthy living, about nutrition, about the importance of good sleep, about taking care of yourself from a holistic perspective.
00:03:34.380Working out, working out, lifting weights, you know, walking.
00:03:38.980I wish some of these people that spend way too much time on Twitter who are very online would just go and, like, just walk around the block, right?
00:03:49.020The people that are inside your little, you know, computer screen inside your pocket are not going to bother you if maybe you have a little bit of those endorphins going on.
00:03:58.440I don't know, basic stuff, just basic stuff.
00:04:01.200He calls it paranoid to worry about anything else.
00:04:04.780So if you're sitting at home, you're obviously very confused by all of this and you're wondering, why is it that I can find all of these clips where they seem to be talking about things that have a connection to what I'm thinking about?
00:05:07.160They are the capital and you are the districts.
00:05:09.840They are the ones who dress up in their flowery perfumerance.
00:05:13.860And you all out there are waiting to see whether or not you'll be called, to see whether or not you'll be ordered to go and fight to the death.
00:05:22.680Maybe not in Afghanistan, but they'll find somewhere else.
00:05:45.740Now, folks, if you've been following me on Twitter, if you've been following me anywhere, you know that I have a sort of catchphrase that I've been using a lot.
00:06:16.360I've been saying it for about a year and a half now.
00:06:18.600The data, of course, is catching up to where anyone with a brain, anyone with common sense knew it would come.
00:06:26.400At the city of Minneapolis, a special investigation, new report has come out.
00:06:30.740Crime has soared in Minneapolis as proactive policing has plunged after George Floyd's death.
00:06:39.040Because of viral videos and the threat of zealous prosecutors and an increasing anti-police government city council, and we saw, of course, from the jury, problem area patrols have decreased 76%.
00:06:54.400The police force has decreased by 22%.
00:06:58.360That means they are now short hundreds of police officers in the city of Minneapolis.
00:07:04.480So, do you think that just based on the ever-present and unchanging nature of human nature and human behavior, what kind of effect is that going to have on criminals?
00:07:17.840Are they going to say, oh, great, I can just go about my life now and not worry about interference from the police?
00:07:24.840It means they're going to commit more crime, and that's exactly what is going on.
00:07:30.120The city of Minneapolis is looking at a 20-year high in terms of homicides.
00:07:36.520The homicide rate has increased in almost every single major city in the United States.
00:07:42.540You pick one, it's going to have some of the highest numbers they've seen since the 1990s.
00:07:47.280I know from talking to my family back home in Philadelphia, they're saying, Jack, it feels like the 1970s again, where if you were going downtown, if you were going into the city, that you better make sure to take steps to be able to defend yourself should something happen.
00:08:03.020Because that was just, as Citi Khan once said, part and parcel of living in a big city, right?
00:08:08.400Folks, this was obvious from the start.
00:08:12.140You know, James Comey, of all people, actually used to talk about this when he called it, what, the Ferguson effect.
00:08:17.520That you are going to have police officers that see you taking their actions and their behaviors, putting it on viral video, clipping off what happened before or what happened after.
00:08:27.960And then you have governments responding to that.
00:08:30.880You've got public attention, public opinion, responding to whatever happened on the viral video before anybody gets the facts, before anybody understands what's going on.
00:08:38.960And by the way, that doesn't mean that the cops are always the ones in the right.
00:08:42.820That doesn't mean that there aren't times where things get excessive and that we should talk about how policing is done.
00:08:48.480For example, when I see cops going around in church parking lots and taking down numbers of license plates of people showing up to worship on a Sunday, I think, yeah, that's probably just a little bit unconstitutional.
00:09:02.820But you've got to understand as well, folks, that if you are in these cities, if you are in these mass areas where you've got populations that are huge, and then you have people who are willing to commit those crimes.
00:09:16.260If we know there are problem areas, if we know there are cities like Baltimore, like Philadelphia, like New York, like Chicago, like Detroit, like Los Angeles, right?
00:09:25.240Last time I was in Los Angeles, the homelessness problem was so bad that we used to think, oh, that's just Skid Row.
00:09:39.780An Uber driver was just killed in a carjacking not long ago by teenagers.
00:09:46.260Folks, this situation does not show any signs of improving because politicians are feckless and they are using these incidents and these viral videos as a way to do what?
00:09:58.320To cynically gain political support rather than do what the right thing is for their city and keep people safe.
00:10:07.220I do not know where the bottom is on this.
00:10:09.300I don't know how far it goes, but I do know that for my family and for my friends, for my kids, I'm going to keep them out of cities because I see what's going on there.
00:10:21.180I see this situation and the future does not look good.
00:10:26.900There are other places, though, out in the country where they're saying, you know what, come here.
00:10:30.620There was a city, I think it was a county, actually, in Spokane, Washington, where you had the sheriff was actually putting up billboards trying to poach officers from Denver, from Seattle, from Portland to say, hey, if you want to come to a place where we actually support police officers, where we care about our community, where we have high trust societies, then come out to Spokane County, Washington.
00:10:51.460So, folks, if you're out there and if you're a conservative, if you have a traditional family, if you believe in American values, you've got to move.
00:11:00.120Move to a place where people share your values.
00:11:04.760Move to a place where people believe the things that you believe.
00:11:09.000And that is what's going to be the way to get through this.
00:11:13.040For those people that want to stay in cities, my heart goes out to you.
00:11:16.960I pray for you, but understand that from this point on, you are on notice.
00:12:01.000Right. People remember that movie. People remember what was going on.
00:12:03.600But I think a lot of people don't go back and understand really what was the underlying root cause of that.
00:12:09.400It was government pushing policies that allowed financial institutions to give home loans, it always started with home loans, right, to people and places that shouldn't have had them in the first place.
00:12:22.300That's what they were called toxic subprime assets, right?
00:12:25.240This was the sort of phrase that was used.
00:13:10.100If you go Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, other major cities, you've got now an asset bubble of prices that are potentially five times bigger than what we saw in the United States in 07, 08, according to financial analysts that I've talked to about this.
00:14:23.840So all of this leads to the question, what does it mean when there's a crisis of confidence for the CCP?
00:14:31.160What does it mean when there's a crisis of leadership following last year, the COVID-19 outbreak, the Wuhan lab cover-up, the cover-up of the outbreak itself in Wuhan?
00:14:42.300Remember, the Wuhan cover-up originally happened because doctors from Wuhan were going on Weibo and other Chinese social media platforms and they're trying to just tell people what was happening.
00:14:56.160They were coming in and having to sign forced apologies and forced confessions saying that they were rumor-mongering and spreading misinformation.
00:15:04.500Folks, this is a crucial moment for the Chinese leadership of the CCP.
00:15:12.040And so I want to do, like I always love to do, a map break.
00:15:17.440Now, if you're just listening, you're not going to be able to see this, but I want to show the Taiwan Strait because this, after Hong Kong, right, last year and the year before, the protests and later essentially the full control of Hong Kong, which was taken over then directly by Beijing, now we're looking at Taiwan.
00:15:37.660If Xi Jinping feels sufficiently threatened in terms of his position, remember, this guy wants to hold on to leadership forever.
00:15:59.660If they want to take that land, if they want to take what they call the wayward province back, the country of Taiwan, they are going to put up a lot of military might and a lot of military effort in able to do so, and they will be able to do it very quickly.
00:16:16.600The United States, on the other hand, just went through the entire Afghanistan debacle under Joe Biden.
00:16:22.160This is a potential nightmare scenario.
00:16:25.200If Beijing decides they want to distract from the financial crises at home in order to wag the dog, and Xi Jinping feels that elements within the party and within the powerful politburo that rules the CCP and the People's Republic, if he feels like he's going to be taken out of power, the first thing he'll do, the absolute first thing he'll do is make a move on Taiwan.
00:16:49.720And if you go to Global Times, what are they saying right now?
00:16:53.160That Chinese, for the first time, Chinese fighter jets are going to be flying patrols over Taiwanese airspace.
00:17:04.760Folks, every once in a while, you get hit with one of those stories that just seems too completely insane to be true.
00:17:14.400So you just have to follow the facts, you have to follow the stories, because this is one of those ones where if this were like a Hollywood plot, I kind of think that if you walked into a room that even as corrupt and insane and woke as Hollywood is, they would never go for this.
00:17:41.480Well, because we've already learned that in this plot that happened in Michigan last year, as many as 12 FBI informants were involved in the alleged conspiracy.
00:17:56.320And places, even like the left-wing outlet BuzzFeed News, have reported that this probably wouldn't have happened at all if the FBI hadn't been running their informants through the entire thing.
00:18:26.320According to the Detroit News, Special Agent Richard Trask was fired last week while awaiting charges of assault with intent to do bodily harm
00:18:37.360and allegations that he beat his wife's head against a nightstand following an argument caused by a swingers' party that they had attended.
00:18:47.040Trask was also dropped as a witness for the FBI following disparaging comments he made on social media calling former President Donald Trump a douchebag.
00:18:57.760Folks, do you remember when that story dropped in 2020 about the Governor Whitmer plot?
00:19:09.600But they didn't talk about the FBI's involvement.
00:19:13.500They said the FBI was just there saving the day, keeping everyone safe, keeping the governor safe.
00:19:19.520They didn't talk about the fact that the FBI had 12 informants and the fact that the FBI was driving the operation.
00:19:28.800That only came out much, much later after the election.
00:19:32.240And yet all Trump supporters, all conservatives, were branded as being involved with this thing when we later find out that this was a federally driven operation.
00:19:44.720Driven by a guy, by the way, who seems completely insane.
00:19:50.620From the perspective of someone who's worked in the intelligence community, I can tell you, folks, that when it comes to people who work there, at least in the D.C. area, that is how they view themselves.
00:20:26.880That's what they think about their families, your families.
00:20:28.960And further, you've got people like this Trask and these 12 informants that see you not just as political opponents, not just as their lessers in your flyover states.
00:20:47.220They view you as the potential next Timothy McVeigh, as Andrew Breitbart once said.
00:20:52.140They view you as the problem that needs to be cleaned up.
00:20:56.380Now, we need a full investigation into this Whitmer plot and all FBI informant operations as pertains to the militia groups and as pertains to Trump supporters and conservatives.
00:21:14.520We need to understand what was going on.
00:21:17.140And did this, by the way, have anything to do with the events of what we saw just a few feet away from where I'm sitting right now in the studio?
00:21:28.180Because we are told that we have a January 6th commission coming up, and yet I don't see anyone from there talking about FBI informants, these plots, and these absolutely insane people that seem to be behind them.
00:21:41.880That's all the time we have today on HE Daily.
