00:00:00.000 Hey guys, it's Jack. I wanted to let you know that we're starting a new push for subscriptions here on Human Events Daily.
00:00:09.260 So make sure that when you're listening to this podcast, you hit subscribe, you download it, and you share it with five of your friends.
00:00:16.640 Make sure they're all going and downloading as well, because we need to get the signal out as much as possible.
00:00:22.380 Look, we've done so much over the past couple of years since this show started, and we're only going to do so much more.
00:00:29.300 Let's get it.
00:00:33.580 This is what happens when the fourth turning meets fifth generation warfare.
00:00:42.720 A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran.
00:00:49.440 This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.
00:00:52.520 Christ is king!
00:00:54.020 Israeli police have prevented Jerusalem's Latin patriarch from celebrating Palm Sunday Mass.
00:00:59.960 The police stopped Cardinal Pier Battista Pizzaballa, an archbishop with Catholic jurisdiction across Israel and the Palestinian territories,
00:01:08.000 from entering the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in occupied East Jerusalem in order to conduct the Mass there.
00:01:13.180 Italian Prime Minister Giorgio Maloney said that the incident was an offense not only to the faithful, but to any community that respects religious freedom.
00:01:20.740 There's a lot of fake. All right. Any, any, no, no, no, no, no. Any reporting on Cuba that you
00:01:24.960 didn't get from me or the president is a liar. Cuba's economy needs to change and their economy
00:01:29.300 can't change unless their system of government changes. It's that simple. Who's going to invest
00:01:33.520 billions of dollars in a communist country? Tonight, the Iran backed militant group,
00:01:37.740 the Houthis and Yemen entered the widening conflict. They launched an unsuccessful missile
00:01:42.720 attack on Israel. 2,500 American Marines arrived in the region today. They're on board with the
00:01:48.900 USS Tripoli along with 2,500 sailors. The market is well supplied and we are seeing more and more
00:01:55.900 ships go through on a daily basis as individual countries cut deals with the Iranian regime for
00:02:02.440 the time being. But over time, the U.S. is going to retake control of the straits and there will
00:02:09.680 be freedom of navigation, whether it is through U.S. escorts or a multinational escort. We're doing
00:02:16.400 extremely well in that negotiation but you never know with iran because we negotiate with them and
00:02:23.360 then we always have to blow them up iran said on sunday that it was ready to respond to a ground
00:02:28.400 attack that's as it accused the u.s of preparing a land assault even as it sought negotiations
00:02:34.400 in a message to the nation iran's parliament speaker mohammed baka kalabath said that as long
00:02:39.200 as the americans seek iran's surrender our response is that we will never accept humiliation
00:02:44.320 well ladies and gentlemen welcome on board today's edition of human events daily we're here live on
00:02:51.160 real america's voice today is of course march 30th 2026 anno domini one month of operations in
00:02:59.760 operation iran so let's go back and take a look at sort of the next next steps as we are for the
00:03:07.200 last 72 hours uh israeli combined force air campaign has continued to degrade iranian missile
00:03:13.500 production, launch infrastructure, defense industry, and even select sites related to
00:03:18.260 their nuclear program, talking about production facilities in Parchin, Haqqia, as well as
00:03:23.620 assessed that they are severely damaged and a halting short and medium range ballistic
00:03:28.620 missile output until they are rebuilt.
00:03:31.760 Iran, of course, maintains persistent ballistic missile barrages against Israel.
00:03:35.920 We've seen seven plus barrages over the last 72 hours, last three days, using small salvo
00:03:41.600 tactics to impose psychological strain and conserve their own stocks. We saw impacts in
00:03:47.160 industrial areas such as near Beersheba and in Tel Aviv. We were also seeing over the weekend
00:03:53.320 the axis of resistance activation. Houthis conducting their first direct strikes on Israel
00:03:59.900 itself. The Houthis coming online, Iranian missiles hitting Kuwaiti infrastructure,
00:04:04.460 Hezbollah activity tied to concurrent southern Lebanon incursion by Israel. And so this is all
00:04:10.360 firing up. It is all intensifying. On the diplomatic track, the U.S. via Pakistan now
00:04:17.380 is pushing a 15-point plan. Trump, of course, has publicly threatened energy infrastructure sites
00:04:22.880 and Karga Island seizure if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened, quote, shortly. Iran has denied
00:04:28.840 direct talks, but we do know that in Pakistan, they held a meeting between the Pakistanis,
00:04:34.300 the Egyptian foreign leader, the foreign minister, the Turkish foreign minister,
00:04:38.060 and the Saudi foreign minister. So this huge regional meeting taking place in Islamabad,
00:04:43.840 Pakistan. Look for Islamabad, Pakistan to really now take the lead for these negotiations going
00:04:51.760 forward. That's where we're seeing a lot of this. And we're also hearing there are those reports
00:04:56.440 coming out that J.D. Vance himself may take time to go to Pakistan to be a leader in those efforts.
00:05:04.540 What else are we seeing along the way? The war is now at day 31.
00:05:09.060 So we're at a month in 3,000 total deaths reported across the theater.
00:05:13.820 No U.S. or Israeli ground incursions. The focus still remains on air dominance and attrition.
00:05:21.320 And again, we talked about this new axis of resistance, as they're calling themselves, military, drone campaigns,
00:05:28.620 Iran launching 5 to 11 daily barrages, mostly small savos, of one to a few missiles targeting Israel.
00:05:35.680 Those key impacts, again, Beersheba with 20, more than 20 missile impacts, direct hits near homes, injured 11.
00:05:44.620 Iranian missiles or debris struck the Adama chemical plant, causing a fire and an 800-meter exclusion zone.
00:05:52.060 We also saw explosions in Tel Aviv.
00:05:54.920 there was a cluster musician, musician, unition that damaged homes in Savion, as well as a bicycle
00:06:01.540 shop and others. The Houthis entering the conflict still remains one of the largest pieces and most
00:06:09.260 significant of this. The Houthis have the ability to shut down the Red Sea. We saw them do it last
00:06:14.820 year. We saw them shut down shipping and have to reroute all of those oil transfers around the
00:06:21.120 southern tip of Cape Hope. If they have to do this again, that is going to cause already
00:06:27.280 an already strained economy to have to fight back even further. We're hearing now as well
00:06:34.900 from the IRGC Aerospace Commander Mousavi. He publicly claimed that the chemical plant strike
00:06:40.120 was retaliation and the regime maintains these missile launch disciplines despite degraded
00:06:47.000 launcher inventory. So they still have the ability to fire these out. Of course, the coalition we've
00:06:54.080 seen that the USS George W. Bush aircraft carrier group is now reinforcing potential U.S. deployments.
00:07:00.320 We may see a switch out U.S. troops injured over the weekend as well. A lot going on, folks,
00:07:05.820 but we're here one month. We'll take your emails at the end of the show and block the Human Events
00:07:10.780 Daily continues.
00:07:18.680 And our wave and our golden age has just begun.
00:07:22.300 This is Human Events with Jack Posobiec.
00:07:24.060 Now it's time for everyone to understand what America First truly means.
00:07:28.740 Welcome to the second American Revolution.
00:07:36.000 All right, folks, Jack Posobiec, we're back live here, Human Events Daily.
00:07:39.940 Now, folks, you know, I was down in Texas all last week.
00:07:43.080 I was down at CPAC.
00:07:44.320 And I got to say, one thing that I absolutely loved was getting home to my ghost bed.
00:07:49.820 So came home, had the ghost bed there.
00:07:52.500 Tiny day, had everything all set up.
00:07:54.460 And this thing was phenomenal.
00:07:56.360 And look, we're down.
00:07:58.500 We had nice digs down in Texas.
00:08:00.680 Don't get me wrong.
00:08:01.240 Not knocking it.
00:08:02.320 But there's something about coming home to a ghost bed.
00:08:06.140 It just feels like a bed that you've slept in your whole life.
00:08:10.100 And in fact, it feels like the mattress that you have been looking for your whole life.
00:08:15.460 And I loved it.
00:08:16.840 So my back, what can I say?
00:08:18.500 My back just feels better when I sleep on my ghost bed.
00:08:21.660 So ghost bed is, of course, family owned and operated.
00:08:25.040 They have three generations of doing business right in the United States.
00:08:30.080 You guys are going to love them.
00:08:31.460 We always have a great time when we're using them.
00:08:34.100 So what we really want you to do is get in there and check out their new deal because this spring we're entering the Easter season.
00:08:42.140 We're also in the spring season. Guess what? You can get up to one hundred one nights to try a ghost bed at home.
00:08:49.960 And if you don't feel the difference, you can send it right back risk free.
00:08:53.160 Right now, Ghostbed is offering the human events audience the lowest prices of the season, plus an extra 10 percent off.
00:08:59.780 You just go to GhostBed.com slash POSO and use promo code POSO.
00:09:05.240 That's GhostBed.com slash POSO, promo code POSO.
00:09:09.500 All right, here we are at the one month mark, we told you before about this, of Operation Iran.
00:09:15.400 And I wanted to bring on Tom Sauer, a United States Navy veteran here,
00:09:20.160 to work on sort of a look as to where we are, what the situation is on the ground,
00:09:27.260 and when it comes to these questions about the Strait of Hormuz.
00:09:30.380 Tom, how are you?
00:09:32.640 Good, man. Thanks for having me back.
00:09:35.100 So, Tom, one thing that's really interesting is I remember that there were so many people saying
00:09:40.900 that Iran's going to mine the Strait, Iran's going to mine the Strait.
00:09:44.620 We haven't seen that yet, have we?
00:09:46.280 And instead, what do we see?
00:09:47.540 It looks like, to my mind, from the naval perspective,
00:09:50.680 what we're seeing is the Ford is maybe rotating off station.
00:09:54.140 And we're told that they're up in, I think it's Cyprus, Cyprus or Crete.
00:09:58.260 And they're going to be getting their workups.
00:10:01.060 They're getting some replenishments, some repairs.
00:10:02.860 There was this fire.
00:10:04.240 And now it looks like the bush is coming on station.
00:10:07.660 Do you think that we're going to see, and I'm not saying you know any particular information,
00:10:11.200 do you think that we're going to see three carriers operating at the same time?
00:10:14.260 Or does this look like a rotation to you?
00:10:16.940 I think it looks a lot more like a rotation because everything that I heard and read coming from the Ford
00:10:22.900 was that the damage done from that fire was pretty extensive so now keep in mind though that it's
00:10:30.140 like hey in a fight you know an aircraft carrier they you know those sailors god bless them i've
00:10:35.580 spent a lot of time on an aircraft carrier and you know they can endure some tough conditions
00:10:39.640 that guy's just sleeping on mats and cots like in the hangar bay because there's 600 racks 600 beds
00:10:45.680 that were completely taken out a lot of these sailors lost all their personal belongings
00:10:49.900 and you know in a real fight look they could keep going that way but the thing to think about is
00:10:54.980 things are going quite well over there that they were still operational yeah life might have been
00:11:00.200 tough for about 600 of those sailors which is out of 5,000 that's not a small number of them
00:11:05.360 but they could still keep fighting so it wasn't so much that the Ford had to leave like they're
00:11:11.020 in big trouble it was still an operational platform they chose to leave right so they
00:11:15.440 are able to make that decision and they're going to head back I imagine they're going to be in
00:11:19.180 crete for a while and i mean they might even just be heading back eventually last i checked i think
00:11:24.940 the ford's been out on station for a long time and and by the way i just wanted i wanted to double
00:11:30.400 check myself on that i got totally messed up my c word it's croatia it is not crete they're
00:11:35.400 actually in croatia i think they may have made a couple stops but they're currently currently
00:11:39.280 docked in croatia they were at suda bay for a little while then they moved over to uh so it
00:11:45.200 originally crete then they moved to croatia that's where they are at now and that's a nice liberty
00:11:49.800 right so yeah oh yeah tell me about it i did my honeymoon in croatia it's beautiful by the way
00:11:56.220 this is this wait wait wait tom are you telling me that you took natalie on your honeymoon because
00:12:01.600 of your liberty port memories there yeah actually uh it's uh it's a pretty great place
00:12:08.480 no we were in croatia and then we went and spent a few days in venice
00:12:12.780 but uh no honestly i had some of the best liberty i had was actually in israel believe it or not in
00:12:18.760 haifa that was a great time but to get back to what we're talking about is all right so
00:12:23.320 like the ford's able to get some repairs and the fact that they went to croatia look there's no
00:12:27.540 critical uh repair infrastructure in croatia if that's the case that that's where they are
00:12:33.100 so what's that tell you it tells you it's like hey hey these sailors have been working really
00:12:37.900 hard they need to blow off some steam they're probably becoming a real problem for the local
00:12:42.300 police but hey that's all right they'll be okay there's blowing off some steam but here's what i
00:12:46.880 think is what's really important here well and tom just to put this in context for people
00:12:50.420 if i remember correctly reading that if if the ford stays on station doesn't return home it is
00:12:56.880 going to hit a record for length of deployment in the post-vietnam era it's gonna be the longest
00:13:02.280 deployed carrier this is the same carrier that was out for the venezuela operations that was parked
00:13:07.740 right off the coast of venezuela so they've been out there for almost a full year at this point
00:13:12.220 I think they're coming up around the 10-month mark.
00:13:14.520 Then in April they hit 11, and then I believe May is one year.
00:13:19.340 So they've been out at sea for quite some time.
00:13:21.900 And, Tom, what can I say?
00:13:23.600 Do sailors have a bit of a reputation for when they spend that much time out at sea?
00:13:29.620 Yeah.
00:13:30.220 I mean, sometimes they do.
00:13:31.560 Right.
00:13:31.760 I mean, for example, whenever we pulled into Dubai, into Jabal Ali,
00:13:36.380 especially when we were out to sea for a very long time,
00:13:38.960 what they would have you do is they actually had like a little liberty area like a fenced off area
00:13:44.180 that was like about oh 20 30 acres that had a couple it was really hot outside so they had food
00:13:49.920 tents and food stands and benches and they had a couple of games you could play and they had a ton
00:13:54.740 of cheap beer so what they would do is they would just let everyone blow off steam that first night
00:13:59.140 just get everything out of their system so they're not out in the city and then there and then the
00:14:02.900 following night they let them out into into Dubai which is probably a smart move on everyone's part
00:14:07.500 I think everyone else has had, they're able to keep it contained, you know,
00:14:11.040 cause we'd have been out to sea for only about like two months,
00:14:13.400 like consecutively of two months continuously at sea on a seven or eight
00:14:17.880 month deployment, but you know, at least kind of keep it contained right there.
00:14:21.380 So I think it's good for them. Honestly, I'm a little jealous,
00:14:26.360 believe it or not, as crazy as it sounds like of a lot of the guys that are
00:14:29.860 overseas, like I'm a little jealous. I'm wondering if they're willing to,
00:14:33.400 you know, take a 45 year old, you know,
00:14:36.360 former surface warfare officer, former EOD officer,
00:14:39.520 who's not quite as fast or as strong as he used to be.
00:14:42.940 But I mean, honestly, that's a memorable deployment for these guys.
00:14:46.280 They're doing the nation's work.
00:14:48.180 I think we should all be incredibly proud of them and frankly,
00:14:50.300 happy for them. And I'm jealous of them a little bit,
00:14:52.440 despite the fact that, look, I know they suffered a big fire.
00:14:55.560 That was a big problem. So, but still at the same time, I mean, I, I,
00:14:59.700 I, I'm very jealous.
00:15:02.280 I'll explain, you know,
00:15:03.220 I know exactly what you mean, because I feel the same way that, you know, when you're not serving, even if you, you know, regardless of what your feelings are about, you know, should the United States be doing this?
00:15:13.500 Should we not be doing this? Is Iran the biggest threat and not threat that that that's all one discussion?
00:15:18.740 It's a great discussion. In fact, we're going to be having a discussion at the end of the show when people send their emails in 1776 at humanevents.com, 1776 at humanevents.com.
00:15:27.460 But that doesn't discount the fact that when you're sitting there and you're watching it on TV, you just you get the bug.
00:15:33.960 You just you get that bug about wanting to be out there, wanting to be conducting the operations, wanting from my perspective.
00:15:40.340 You know, I want to be looking at the Intel feeds.
00:15:42.700 I want to be right up there in the CIC, figuring out what's going on, figuring out, you know, what's what's coming our way.
00:15:48.420 You know, are they going to try to launch a couple of hot ones at the carrier?
00:15:51.420 How do we respond? All of those things. Right.
00:15:53.860 you know it's what can i say when there's a fight going on it's uh you know for for for guys that
00:15:59.940 had served before there's always a sense of like being on the sidelines you know what i mean
00:16:03.560 100 no i i absolutely do agree and also i'd say on from you know my eod career i've got a lot of
00:16:10.060 friends who are currently there uh to you know clear the straits and one thing you brought up
00:16:14.240 earlier is that uh you're absolutely correct that to my knowledge actually you know i i did receive
00:16:20.700 some information that uh not not one mine as of this morning at least not one mine has been found
00:16:28.320 so that doesn't mean there aren't any uh but you know um absence of evidence is not evidence of
00:16:34.460 absence but what that also means though is that we probably got left of splash like i've said before
00:16:41.140 we actually probably did before they had a chance to mine anything we took out all of their mine
00:16:45.460 layers and now granted i know you could you know uh throw a few mines onto a fishing boat and kick
00:16:50.640 them over the side, but that's not really that effective. And everyone talks about how small the
00:16:54.560 Strait of Hormuz is. It's still a lot of water to, you know, if you only threw a dozen mines in there
00:16:59.700 at most, I mean, yeah, is that a threat? But I mean, where did you place them? Were they placed
00:17:03.960 correctly? You know, and they've been clearing. And one thing I do know is we have been quietly
00:17:08.660 searching, quietly. It's not very overt. But the thing is, though, is that we have to make sure
00:17:14.340 that the threat for them mining is completely neutralized, right? It's because it's like you
00:17:19.460 can't start mopping the floor when the toilet is still overflowing right so you got to make sure
00:17:23.800 that area is fully secure but then also the threat is the air threat as well and once you know you're
00:17:29.240 in a very permissive environment so you're not worried about drones or anything like that then
00:17:34.000 you can start clearing and to everyone who thought that like we didn't have a plan we didn't know
00:17:38.240 what you're doing is like this is part of the plan all along you don't start uh clearing mines while
00:17:43.820 there's still a threat of them laying more mines or while there's still a threat from the air as
00:17:49.020 well and look we know that the vast majority uh overwhelming majority of iran's um offensive
00:17:56.700 capabilities have been totally neutralized and now we're doing mostly cleanup can they get a few
00:18:00.840 pot shots in the in here and there yeah they can but um you know by and large the threat is nearly
00:18:07.040 eliminated and and this of course is is what the united states navy is is focused on doing and and
00:18:15.800 And I think it's very interesting, by the way, you mentioned the mine situation because when, you know, and it looks like J.D. Vance is going to be going in for the United States, leading these negotiations over in Pakistan, which would be just absolutely such a bold move for him, you know, the vice president to be able to go and do that.
00:18:31.640 We know that the Turkish foreign minister, the Saudi foreign minister, the Egyptian foreign minister all met this weekend in Islamabad.
00:18:39.720 Then what do we see right after that?
00:18:41.120 Pakistani ships were able to make their way through the strait.
00:18:43.500 So, of course, Iran knows if they start mining that straight, that shuts down all of the shipping and all of the ability of transit back and forth.
00:18:52.440 So that may be one of the main reasons that we haven't seen it yet, because that's basically their last leverage point.
00:18:57.820 You'd mine it. You can't mine it again. It's done. It's totally done.
00:19:01.880 So we will see where this comes next.
00:19:05.040 Jack Posobiec, Tom Sauer, Human Events Daily.
00:19:06.560 you talk about influences these are influences and uh they're friends of mine jack or so like
00:19:19.100 where's jack he's done a great job
00:19:22.700 all right folks we're back jack so big human events daily real america's voice and by the
00:19:32.180 just just for a minute i want to take here and give a shout out to the entire real america's
00:19:37.120 voice team rob parker everybody out there because what an incredible experience that we had down at
00:19:44.300 cpac just the stage was amazing um the stage itself i think really stole the show you saw
00:19:50.260 the level of investment you saw the level of production obviously we did the super bowl
00:19:54.960 halftime show with turning point and this was you know easily on the same level you're starting to
00:20:01.180 see stuff from the quote-unquote independent media that rivals, and I would even go so
00:20:07.800 far as to say, surpasses what you're seeing in mainstream media.
00:20:11.740 And Real America's Voice is absolutely punching way, way above its weight class.
00:20:17.800 And that's due to the incredible team and the incredible investment, the incredible
00:20:21.340 work of the men and women of Real America's Voice.
00:20:24.020 So I just want to give a shout out to all the support that we had down at CPAC.
00:20:27.700 It was just, it was really amazing.
00:20:29.540 Folks, let me be blunt.
00:20:32.740 Before the crashes of 1999 and 2008, a rare market signal appeared.
00:20:37.280 Most people ignored it.
00:20:38.600 The smart money didn't.
00:20:39.960 Gold and stocks were rising at the same time, and that is not normal.
00:20:43.360 Stocks are supposed to rise when confidence is strong.
00:20:46.500 Gold rises when confidence starts to break.
00:20:48.840 They move in opposite directions until something underneath the system is off.
00:20:53.860 Right now, they're both breaking records again.
00:20:56.360 This has only happened twice before major market repricing events.
00:21:00.600 Does that mean it crashes tomorrow? No.
00:21:02.480 But it does mean that risk may be dangerously mispriced.
00:21:06.380 Gold doesn't surge because it's popular.
00:21:08.700 It moves when currency confidence weakens,
00:21:11.220 debt explodes, and central banks prepare quietly behind the scenes.
00:21:14.760 And here's what should get your attention.
00:21:16.640 Banks are buying gold at record levels right now.
00:21:19.680 They're not guessing.
00:21:20.800 Gold doesn't depend on earnings.
00:21:22.300 It doesn't depend on credit markets.
00:21:23.820 It doesn't depend on political promises.
00:21:25.220 No, stocks do. If you have a savings or retirement account, you don't get a do over. This is about
00:21:30.600 protection, not speculation. Call 844-577-POSO or visit protectwithposo.com. That's 844-577-7676

00:21:46.760 Call 844-577-7676. All right, back in here with Tom Sauer. We're going through talking about,
00:21:55.940 you know, sort of what it's what we're seeing the United States Navy conducting the Strait
00:22:00.220 of Hormuz, the opening. Tom, so we're looking at these traffic separation schemes. We're looking
00:22:05.980 at the Strait of Hormuz. It's been obviously, I'll say it's been a generation since we've had
00:22:10.940 a Strait of Hormuz crisis, but certainly isn't the first time it's happened. We had the Iran-Iraq
00:22:14.740 War back in the 1980s, the tanker wars. We had the 1979 revolution. So this isn't the first time
00:22:20.440 that we've seen a straight-to-form moose crisis, but certainly in recent years. What would you say
00:22:25.820 that the Navy has learned? And just assuming, right, that these talks go well, we're at the
00:22:32.120 one-month mark. What would you say the Navy has learned coming up through this one month of these
00:22:37.560 operations? That's a good question, Jack. I would say the one thing that there really is like the
00:22:44.080 unity of command. I think that's one thing that's really important here because, look, this is not
00:22:48.920 strictly a Navy fight. Yes, the Navy is a very important element of this. And obviously,
00:22:54.780 U.S. Central Command led by Admiral Brad Cooper, who is phenomenal. You know, there's a big naval
00:23:01.420 emphasis to this. But what it really comes down to is, one, clearing that straight, which, again,
00:23:06.760 like I was saying earlier before the break, that it appears that it might not have been mined.
00:23:11.860 Or if it were mined, if it was mined, it's not in any significant fashion, which, by the way, my Navy EOD friends who are there and even my little brother who is stationed overseas but works that same problem is not happy about that because they really wanted to go out and clear mines.
00:23:31.660 And the fact that they're not that looks like they're not going to have to, they're a little disappointed about that.
00:23:38.560 But I'd say as far as lessons learned, here's something that's really important is it seems like now there is a bigger threat from drones and ballistic missiles in the strait than there are from naval mines.
00:23:53.140 Now, primarily, that is because we got left of Splash.
00:23:56.780 We took out all their mine lane capabilities before they started mining.
00:24:01.380 So I think that's a big lesson learned.
00:24:03.660 And that's something that all of warfare, I mean, I still work with a lot of friends who are in defense department, who are defense companies, who make, you know, weapons and military equipment.
00:24:14.160 I work with a lot of these guys.
00:24:15.680 And that is something that is probably one of the biggest overall threats, not unique to the Navy.
00:24:20.460 It's also with the Army and the Marines.
00:24:22.580 Everyone is counter drone and also offensive drone capability.
00:24:27.300 But also keep in mind, those Shahid drones were very effective for when they had them.
00:24:33.660 They're they're actually quite effective for especially relative to their cost.
00:24:38.040 And, you know, they're so good that we reverse engineered it better and we shot them right back at them, which I think was brilliant.
00:24:45.680 So that's something I think.
00:24:48.660 Tom, and no, you're exactly right.
00:24:50.560 I couldn't agree more.
00:24:51.320 And we're also seeing just a couple minutes we have left.
00:24:53.480 We're also seeing these questions.
00:24:55.180 You know, we talked about the relief of the Ford, you know, also talking about these questions of replenishment, tomahawks, air intercepts.
00:25:03.660 interceptors, FAD missile systems, Patriot missile systems. You mentioned the cheapness
00:25:09.140 of the Iranian drones. This is something where they want to match us. If we go dollar for dollar,
00:25:15.600 every time we launch an interceptor, we're spending millions of dollars. And for them,
00:25:20.400 it's just a couple thousand bucks. Yeah, that's so true. And also, that is not something that is
00:25:25.540 unique right now, just to what we're dealing with in the Middle East. So for example, this is like
00:25:31.260 across the board. And that's something that I'm working with some folks over at the Office of
00:25:35.700 Strategic Capital to work on, you know, and some other friends when it comes to re-industrialization,
00:25:40.580 because we are so good at making exquisite systems. You know, an SM2, it's like, what,
00:25:44.940 two million bucks to take out a $20,000 drone. That's not a great use of resources. And so
00:25:50.300 we're coming up with other technology. But what's really important about that
00:25:53.660 is we have to be able to scale, even for our conventional equipment, conventional munitions,
00:25:59.100 everything like that right you know i got uh i had president trump clap back at me on truth social
00:26:04.760 a few weeks ago when i highlighted the fact that we uh we know if we got into a shooting war with
00:26:10.060 china we'd run out of a lot of our munitions in like seven or eight days and you know the thing
00:26:15.520 is we still do not like that tom he didn't like it saying that very much did not like that i know
00:26:21.440 i i was that was pretty funny i was like oh oh crap so and it was like two afters i was on fox
00:26:27.880 on with laura ingram i mentioned it with tim shee and then two hours later that truth post so
00:26:32.500 that was a surprise but the thing is though is here's something that's crazy to think about
00:26:36.580 he is when uh with for our 155 millimeter shells for standard artillery shells right
00:26:43.740 we went through 10 years of production in 10 weeks right so we have to we got to run let me
00:26:50.940 get you back on i'd love to get into more of that go give him a follow up folks thomas b
00:26:55.820 sour on x a and just a wealth of knowledge on all things united states navy right back human events
00:27:02.120 where is jack where is he jack i want to see you
00:27:14.780 great job jack thank you what a job you do you know we have an incredible thing we're always
00:27:22.240 talking about the fake news and the bad, but we have guys and these are the guys should be getting
00:27:27.200 policies. All right, folks, Jack Posobiec here, Human Events Daily. We are right back. And of
00:27:36.480 course, we're covering all things international, but we've got to bring it back home too. And
00:27:41.960 one of the things I have to tell you about folks is that, and it's very unfortunate, but one in
00:27:47.020 three people we know will face a battle with cancer in their lives and most will never see
00:27:51.880 it coming. Well, Dr. Kelly Victory over at the wellness company, she did everything right. She
00:27:56.840 exercised, she ate clean, she avoided processed foods, and she had zero symptoms when she went
00:28:01.880 in for just a routine mammogram in July of 2023. Yet she walked out with an aggressive cancer
00:28:07.620 diagnosis that could have been fatal if found later. It revealed a hard truth. Even healthy
00:28:13.980 people get cancer and it exposed a bigger issue. Most modern medicine is reactive. It's not
00:28:20.320 preventative. You wait for a scare until you start to care. Every day, our bodies are under
00:28:24.660 constant pressure from stress, toxins, inflammation, immune strain. That damage builds quietly year
00:28:30.200 after year until disease starts to form. Dr. Victory asked a different question. What can
00:28:35.360 we do daily to support the body before something goes wrong? Well, that led her to formulate
00:28:40.540 SHIELD. SHIELD is a two-part natural system designed to support immune balance, antioxidant
00:28:45.640 defense and cellular health exactly the systems you want strong to live a long healthy life in
00:28:52.160 the morning you drink the high dose nutraceutical cocoa mix then you take the food take the soft
00:28:56.100 gels with ingredients like medicinal mushrooms turmeric green tea olive leaf berberine and black
00:29:01.000 cumin seed oil shield gives your body the tools it needs to keep cells healthy how do you get it
00:29:06.260 it's really simple you head on over to twc.health slash poso and use promo code poso to get 10%
00:29:11.320 off, plus free shipping for U.S. residents. Again, that's twc.health slash POSO. All right,
00:29:18.540 folks, we had just over the weekend these no kings protests and these things. Look,
00:29:23.940 you want to laugh at them. People want to take them not seriously, but they are very serious.
00:29:28.580 And this is what the left is using to gin up their operations, their ground operations for what the
00:29:34.940 2026 midterms. We'll play a clip from the Philadelphia iteration of No Kings now.
00:29:41.300 Long live the Hitsapada! Death to the Zionist entity! Death to America! And death to Dan Zimmerman! 0.98
00:29:49.120 So again, still following me. 0.55
00:29:52.140 For peace! For harmony!
00:29:54.600 For peace! For harmony!
00:29:56.800 For the settler colony!
00:29:59.200 In the settler colony!
00:30:00.940 All right. Well, that was surge media with Frankie scales. Frankie joins us now. What's
00:30:07.660 going on, man? Nothing much. Thank you for having me on Jack. So tell us what it was like being down
00:30:15.220 there. You got the death to America. You got death to Israel. Um, again, this is the red green
00:30:21.080 alliance that I've talked about for a long time. We're seeing it on the streets here. It's it's
00:30:26.800 the supporters of Hamas, plus the anti-Israel, plus the far left. It's this linkage. I mean,
00:30:34.400 did they seem to operate inseparably? What's your sense?
00:30:37.500 So it was very concerning being on the ground, listening to what they were saying. And for one,
00:30:42.340 I was pushed. I was spit on. You know, I was blocked. They followed me around because they
00:30:48.140 didn't want me recording what they were saying in those moments because they knew that I was
00:30:53.040 going to report it honestly. So it was very alarming to see and quite uncomfortable being
00:30:58.040 around those people. And when you're talking about the no kings, right, we get into this
00:31:06.640 regular alliance idea. And of course, the flags are very, you know, very noticeable. But when it
00:31:12.020 comes to the actual individuals themselves, would you say it's more, is it more about the war? Is
00:31:17.800 it more about Iran, Israel? Or did you see more when it came to ICE? Was it 50-50? What was sort
00:31:22.600 the breakdown there? Okay, I would say the two main issues were the war in Iran and ICE. Now,
00:31:30.160 many people mentioned the war in Iran, and I find it quite ironic that they are worried about
00:31:35.840 the war in Iran while they're protesting, quote-unquote, authoritarianism. Because right
00:31:41.980 now we're bombing a dictator who killed over 30,000 protesters in Iran. These people are
00:31:49.340 turning a blind eye to that and essentially supporting the islamic regime and again it's that
00:31:55.120 it's that coalition between leftists communists and islamists and we're seeing that play out
00:32:02.500 and you know just on sunday i was at an iranian demonstration where they were supporting and
00:32:08.760 thanking the u.s for bombing the islamic regime because their people have been massacred
00:32:12.860 and they were waving american flags well you know funny enough we saw the same thing i was
00:32:19.920 down cpac and we saw the exact same thing uh where you had a lot of iranian americans um i don't know
00:32:25.600 exactly if they were born there born here but you know clearly people of iranian descent persian
00:32:30.200 descent that were coming to cpac with u.s flags you know u.s flags with the original flan of a
00:32:36.400 flag of iran which had the persian flag the flag of the shah they were there um the the son of the
00:32:42.040 Shah, Reza Pavlani spoke as well. So you saw a pretty big contingent of that as well. And so
00:32:47.900 you're seeing this on the ground. But ultimately, my take has always been that it's not so much
00:32:55.200 that they, quote unquote, don't want kings or that they do want kings. They clearly support
00:33:00.920 kings. These are the same people, by the way, that were all for the lockdowns. They were for
00:33:05.400 the forced jabs. They were for the government coming in and defining everything. They stand
00:33:09.600 for centralized government all the time. They have no problem with authority. What they have
00:33:14.140 a problem with is authority that is not theirs. They want to be in total control. They don't want
00:33:20.100 anyone on our side in control. That's what's really going on here. I totally agree. And you
00:33:26.080 look at the fact is that Trump won the popular vote and he also won the electoral college.
00:33:31.700 So the people did vote for Trump. He is not a king. He has to go to Congress to pass legislation.
00:33:36.840 He talks about Congress a lot. So it's very evident that he is acting as a president, not a king. And they're really selling a, you know, a fiction at these No Kings protests. It's not actually real.
00:33:49.880 well and ultimately you know talking about the phrase no kings itself is the phrase no kings
00:33:57.440 and this is something that if you if anyone wants to purchase the book on humans the secret history
00:34:01.480 of communist revolutions and how to crush them new york china's bestseller that you would learn
00:34:05.940 that the phrase no kings comes from the the longer phrase in french no kings no lords and in fact it
00:34:13.560 was one of the main slogans of the french revolution the jacobins which which which was
00:34:19.140 referred to as the Red Terror, which resulted not only it started with massive street protests like
00:34:25.500 we're seeing now, which became violent, which became armed, which led to uprisings. And then
00:34:30.440 it led to what? Oh, that's right. Executions, the executions with the guillotine of anyone who was
00:34:36.080 associated with the royalty, anyone who's associated with what they called the Anshan regime,
00:34:40.900 the ancient regime, the former government and up to and including, by the way, Catholic nuns,
00:34:46.480 the nuns of Avignon were then sent and paraded through the streets of Paris when they were sent
00:34:51.660 up as well, because it starts with no kings, then it goes to no lords. Then all of a sudden you hear
00:34:56.260 no priests, then it's no nuns. I mean, they go all the way down. These people smashed the Notre
00:35:01.940 Dame back then. So I don't even know, though, if the average, and I'm sure, by the way, that the
00:35:07.200 average person who just shows up to a no kings protest has no idea the extreme radical background
00:35:13.220 of that phrase. Yes. And you see a lot of times they dress up in costumes and inflatable costumes,
00:35:19.000 and they do that to make it seem like a festival, to make it seem innocent. But when you look deeper,
00:35:24.940 a lot of the times the people in the costumes are blowing bubbles with one arm and they're
00:35:30.260 holding a rock that they're going to throw at an ICE agent's vehicle in the other. These are very
00:35:35.380 violent people, and many of them are radicalized. And you're seeing it now. All the people who were
00:35:41.580 protesting for palestine they said they were protesting for human rights they don't care
00:35:46.220 about the human rights of iranians who were getting massacred by the islamic regime because
00:35:50.660 it was never about human rights it's always been about hating the west and hating the united states
00:35:56.940 of america and ultimately it's about hating civilization tear down civilization tear down
00:36:02.760 the status quo tear down everything that we have tear down the police tear down all of it
00:36:07.020 that's exactly it frankie scales where can people go to follow you man surge media.us if you would
00:36:12.600 like to check out our website you can go to surge media.us s-u-r-g-e-m-e-d-i-a.us on socials you
00:36:21.780 can find us at frank.scales or surge philly all right go give him a follow folks one of the
00:36:27.820 hardest working men out there today i want to go live we just put this up in the box and i'm told
00:36:34.540 that there are, and guys, if we can get the audio up, this would be big, that as we're
00:36:39.600 speaking, breaking news that there are sirens now emitting over Tel Aviv and air raid sirens
00:36:52.320 coming up over Tel Aviv.
00:36:53.840 I'm tracking now, I'm trying to track now whether or not anything is hitting or if there's
00:37:01.320 any reporting going on but the team just told me that this happened at literally as we're speaking
00:37:06.900 so i haven't even had a moment to understand what we're seeing yet what we're hearing um okay so an
00:37:11.380 iranian missile just struck again reports reports reports just struck in tel aviv with air alerts
00:37:20.020 expected for the next five minutes now was this i can't tell if this was
00:37:28.320 from iran or if this was from uh the hezbollah or whether it was the houthis again but we're
00:37:39.880 getting reports that there was a missile strike in tel aviv just moments ago and i'm seeing some
00:37:46.880 video come out i'm just tracking online here to see what it seems have happened some reports
00:37:53.340 saying potentially two rounds of ballistic missiles, an escalating attack.
00:37:59.640 Trey Yanks is there, good friend, former colleague.
00:38:02.440 We'll be right back, Human Events Daily.
00:38:06.840 Jack Posobiec Appreciation Hour.
00:38:08.680 I can say confidently, I believe, I think Josh Shapiro would be the vice presidential nominee
00:38:13.360 if it wasn't for Jack Posobiec.
00:38:14.660 And that is, I'll be honest.
00:38:23.340 All right, folks, Jack, so we're back live here, Human Events Daily.
00:38:26.780 We have that live report from Tel Aviv.
00:38:30.100 Trey Yanks, who's on the ground there, reports two rounds of Iranian ballistic missiles targeting Tel Aviv this hour.
00:38:37.020 We're working on seeing if we can find any actual footage of those strikes and seeing some stuff online.
00:38:42.900 Of course, we need to verify this before we can get it to you guys.
00:38:46.920 So that's what we're seeing.
00:38:48.340 That's what we're hearing.
00:38:49.220 I want to make sure there's a lot of AI stuff floating around out there these days.
00:38:53.500 And, of course, we want to make sure that if we get something to you, that it is, of course, going to be the real deal.
00:39:00.960 So while we check into that, we're also going to hold that live shot up in the corner right there because if anything else happens, I want to cut immediately to that.
00:39:10.840 Now, I promised everyone that we would go to emails, and my gosh, you guys just sent in an absolute—talk about a missile barrage.
00:39:20.280 You guys barraged us with your emails today, so I want to get through as many of them, or at least the best ones I can.
00:39:27.460 We're here at the one-month mark, so the Human Events question of the day.
00:39:31.000 What is your take on the military operation in Iran at the one-month mark?
00:39:34.820 And I said, please include your age.
00:39:37.100 And that email is 1776 at humanevents.com, 1776 at humanevents.com.
00:39:42.240 And even if we don't get a chance to get to it on air, we might be able to get up tomorrow.
00:39:45.560 And certainly we do read just about every single one.
00:39:48.740 No, we read every one.
00:39:49.520 We actually read every one.
00:39:50.600 So this one comes in from Chuck.
00:39:53.900 He says, cannot dispute the fact that the U.S. and Israel have clearly won this operation.
00:39:58.300 No contest.
00:39:58.960 However, if there is a regime change that excludes the Ayatollahs and basically returns Iran to pre-1979, it will have been a loss.
00:40:07.860 We can't continue bombing campaigns every two years, wasting tax dollars.
00:40:12.440 Annihilate the Muslim occupation once and for all. 0.99
00:40:16.500 All right. 0.98
00:40:16.740 As I go through these, I do want to actually, I didn't see an age in there.
00:40:21.600 I do want to get the ages.
00:40:22.840 So here you go.
00:40:23.640 This is from Kyle, who's 26.
00:40:25.480 I am a male conservative, a devout Christian.
00:40:29.180 I heavily support what we've done in Iran in pursuit of preventing them obtaining nuclear weapons, which they surely would have used on Israel the first chance they got.
00:40:37.600 However, I was under the impression this would be a quick operation.
00:40:40.540 Get in, eliminate the threat and get out.
00:40:42.380 At this stage, the political and economic impacts are starting to mount.
00:40:45.980 Diesel prices are sky high at the start of the farm season, negatively impacting farmers and truckers so critical to the backbone of our nation and hurting the wallet of the American people, including the voter base that handled DJ handed DJT and the GOP a mandate.
00:41:00.220 Public opinion among independents and centrist conservatives has grown increasingly negative, especially among younger voters.
00:41:09.020 I have growing concern that this war is going to accomplish a little more than what it has so far, while further halting our likelihood of success in the midterms.
00:41:16.620 We cannot afford to hand majority control back to the Democrats.
00:41:19.500 I wish we could wrap this up quickly and decisively so that we can reallocate our focus back to defeating the liberal progressive agenda in the midterm elections.
00:41:26.600 This one from from goat doctor who is 29 year old years old from Indiana support the war in Iran.
00:41:35.520 It's very simple. Any country that chants death to America should not be allowed to have a nuclear weapon.
00:41:41.400 I wish Trump would take it a step further and completely destroy all Iranian infrastructure.
00:41:45.980 I'm a lifelong Catholic and Trump supporter since 2015.
00:41:50.320 Also says I want America to dominate the globe militarily, especially our having our hemisphere bring back.
00:41:56.600 manufacturing i don't want unlimited h1b indians or an alliance with muslims essentially i disagree
00:42:02.120 with libertarians on every issue let's go doctor goat doctor um this one for no no email all right 1.00
00:42:10.140 this one here we go from sharon age 30 says finish him off zach 23 this war is the stupidest thing 0.98
00:42:17.760 ever it is a complete betrayal and flip-flop of the no new wars policy it's a trap that will last 0.98
00:42:22.880 months, if not years. Todd78, a necessary step for the gospel to be presented before the rapture.
00:42:30.220 God bless, Jack. God bless you too. Oh, excuse me, Ted. That's Ted, not Todd. God bless, Ted.
00:42:35.560 This one, oh goodness, this is long. From Kelsey, she is 34. I'm going to try to truncate this a
00:42:45.300 little bit because we only have a couple more minutes left, but she said, I mean, you guys
00:42:49.080 sent in these great emails. And I do appreciate that. I really do. And I'm going to read all of
00:42:53.720 them when I get off air. So she says, I think the entire Iran situation is extremely confusing and
00:42:59.760 concerning since there has never been a clear objective. They said the Iranian was destroyed.
00:43:04.920 Now they're saying they'll have nuclear bombs in two weeks. I voted for Trump, but I wouldn't say
00:43:08.980 I'm a huge supporter. I'm deeply troubled by the fact that doesn't seem to be clear reporting
00:43:12.720 on the ground. We've heard many of our soldiers have been injured. How many have been injured?
00:43:16.920 We hear we're negotiating, but Iran is saying we're not.
00:43:19.880 They do not seem to be deterred in the slightest.
00:43:23.200 Information is scarce and seems to be censored.
00:43:25.280 This is troubling.
00:43:26.280 Where are the reporters on the ground?
00:43:27.960 I'm deeply concerned with our relationship with NATO.
00:43:30.980 I'm a conservative.
00:43:32.140 I love our country.
00:43:33.040 I've always supported our soldiers, as my brother was in the Army and did a tour in Afghanistan.
00:43:38.220 He was fortunate enough to be over there when things had calmed down.
00:43:42.760 And this is a great question.
00:43:44.620 These are great questions.
00:43:45.480 These are great comments that everyone's putting in.
00:43:48.500 So thank you, Kelsey.
00:43:49.280 Thank you.
00:43:51.560 Dorian, age 38, thoughts, hate this war, feel like it is destroying MAGA and the coalition
00:43:56.380 that was built.
00:43:57.720 If he doesn't pivot fast, the Dems will win the House for the next four years.
00:44:01.100 Well, it's actually a two-year term, but Walter, 56, through and through conservative, my whole
00:44:06.960 life, elephant slash GOP tattoo, and my daughter's middle name is Reagan.
00:44:11.560 I'm a three-time Trump voter from the People's Republic of Massachusetts.
00:44:15.480 My conservative beliefs are seldom questioned.
00:44:18.480 That being said, I think this is the worst thing Trump has done.
00:44:21.620 I guess you could argue it was justified, but I do not think it was necessary.
00:44:25.000 I supported his bombing of the nuclear facilities, but not this.
00:44:27.980 It is hurting the very people that Trump has fought for, the working and middle classes.
00:44:31.980 I'm in Florida now, and gas is $4 a gallon.
00:44:34.360 This hurts us.
00:44:35.320 I would not doubt that Iran wants this to be protracted, despite the oil prices.
00:44:39.140 When a barrel of oil hits $150, this economy will tank.
00:44:43.160 don't feel this was America first very disappointing so that's that's Walter
00:44:47.680 originally from Massachusetts now in Florida
00:44:51.080 um it's from Patty she is she writes I am a 70 or 78 year old boomer grandma
00:44:59.660 I voted for Trump three times and I see this as not what he promised in his campaign I'm feel
00:45:05.900 fearful for our nation's future I am MAGA but I want to know who else is Micah 43 not happy at
00:45:12.940 all. We need to finish the... I will be extremely upset if we do not finish the job. First time
00:45:19.120 Trump has not been true to his word, and it's a big promise. We're going to lose the House and
00:45:23.640 Senate in 2028. AG43, I voted for Trump, and I want my vote back. This one's too long. I just
00:45:32.300 don't have time to get to that right there. Charlie38 writes in that this is the most
00:45:42.140 infuriating one to two months that I can remember from our side. I'm a two-time Trump voter,
00:45:46.340 lifelong Republican raised on Rush Limbaugh and Fox News, but I'm completely at my wits end.
00:45:51.620 I think this is the opposite of what I voted for.
00:45:58.740 This one is in from Nick, and I'm not seeing an age here, but it says,
00:46:02.740 I really enjoyed your work over the years, especially the annual Christmas specials you do.
00:46:06.400 Chronicles the Revolution, the China Files, Chronicles of Regime Change. Thank you very
00:46:09.860 much nick i appreciate that uh we work really hard on them and the human events daily team
00:46:13.920 is unmatched when it comes to the the christmas break specials i think the iran war is an
00:46:19.120 unnecessary side quest it has the potential to wreck the trump presidency and possibly 2028 we
00:46:24.540 need to focus on mass deportations trade deals and cracking down on the left if we want to use
00:46:30.060 the u.s military we should use it on threats in our hemisphere namely the mexican drug cartels
00:46:34.900 This one for Mary. All right, Mary's on board. She says, I agree with Trump's Iran policy. All
00:46:40.720 other presidents were too cowardly to do this. We're 80% finished and the last 20% is always 0.57
00:46:45.780 the hardest. We're only one month into this exquisite conflict. Finish the job, President
00:46:51.680 Trump. Terry, 65. I am disgusted by this war. Been Republican many years. Voted Trump three times.
00:47:00.440 I'm going independent, but will likely never vote again. I feel like it's useless.
00:47:04.900 Uh, this one from Nick, he says, doesn't have his age, but he says, I was a diehard war room
00:47:13.360 watcher until this conflict. I'm a married father of five, a Christian, a vet, a 22 year old first
00:47:18.340 responder. If Trump continues this, I'm done voting period. This feels like a straight con job.
00:47:27.120 This one from Elizabeth. She is in her fifties, a long, long email. No one understands
00:47:34.760 why we were in this war.
00:47:36.180 War should be a last resort,
00:47:37.480 not a first thing.
00:47:38.600 Oh, I'm hearing the audio.
00:47:40.580 Gosh, you guys,
00:47:42.720 so much of the emails,
00:47:44.360 so much that came in.
00:47:46.020 We'll have to do an entire email show
00:47:48.180 at some point.
00:47:49.740 A lot of questions out there,
00:47:51.900 a lot of emotions,
00:47:53.760 and it's understandable.
00:47:55.140 Ladies and gentlemen,
00:47:55.900 as always, you have my permission
00:47:57.020 to lay ashore.
