00:00:00.000 Hey guys, it's Jack. I wanted to let you know that we're starting a new push for subscriptions
00:00:06.800 here on Human Events Daily. So make sure that when you're listening to this podcast, you
00:00:11.900 hit subscribe, you download it, and you share it with five of your friends. Make sure they're
00:00:17.340 all going and downloading as well, because we need to get the signal out as much as possible.
00:00:22.580 Look, we've done so much over the past couple of years since this show started, and we're
00:00:26.760 only going to do so much more. Let's get it.
00:00:35.500 We are in a fifth generational conflict.
00:00:43.280 A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran.
00:00:49.960 This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.
00:00:52.780 Deliver us from evil.
00:00:54.620 All right, folks, Jack Posobiec, we're here live. Special edition of Human Events Daily here on Real America's Voice. Today is February 28th, 2026. Anno Domini. And as Human Events has been telling you all week that it is like we told you that it was likely that strikes were to come here this weekend on Iran.
00:01:18.380 President Trump ultimately did make the determination. He pulled the trigger on that. We are being told human events is being told to expect potentially a four week bombing campaign of Iran.
00:01:31.380 four-week bombing campaign. And this essentially will come with strikes early this morning,
00:01:38.820 then a pause to assess for battle damage assessment, then moving forward to continue
00:01:44.360 with those strikes, to continue with the operation. President Trump releasing a statement earlier this
00:01:50.980 morning talking about full-on regime change, committed to that, wanting to see the people
00:01:57.340 of Iran rise up and then using the using the air assets, the military assets, the naval assets of
00:02:04.420 the United States military to provide that umbrella for the Iranian people. That's what
00:02:10.100 President Trump's message is. The reporting we have at Human Events, a four week bombing campaign
00:02:14.640 and potential other operations along with Israeli partner force there in Iran, which could include
00:02:21.200 as many commando strikes. We could include suicide strikes, suicide drones. We know the United States
00:02:26.080 Military Consent Com has confirmed that for the first time, the United States has used those one-way attack drones, also known as kamikaze drones.
00:02:34.720 I want to go now to Real America's Voice White House correspondent Neil McCabe, who is live at the White House.
00:02:40.460 Neil.
00:02:43.460 Hey, Jack. Good to see you, man.
00:02:46.040 Good to see you.
00:02:46.700 Neil, what's the latest that you're hearing from the White House?
00:02:48.800 Are we expected to hear the president speak again?
00:02:51.940 well there was talk jack that the president would make a second address to the nation
00:02:58.180 but this morning the white house comms office put out that that would not happen
00:03:03.660 caroline levitt roughly two or three hours ago put out a post where she said that the president
00:03:09.880 was in full communication with netanyahu and rubio and that you know he was monitoring the
00:03:16.780 situation here at Mar-a-Lago. It's also interesting that Speaker Mike Johnson and Republican Majority
00:03:23.640 Leader John Thune in the Senate have both put out statements really speaking to any kind of
00:03:29.820 constitutional concerns that this was done without consulting Congress or having Congress involved.
00:03:37.400 And so I'm not I'm sure it's not the full measure of cooperation that Thomas Massey or Democrats
00:03:42.640 want. But certainly with those two guys stepping up today with those statements,
00:03:47.260 that's going to give the president some constitutional air cover to continue with the
00:03:52.500 mission, Jack. And so, Neil, when we look at that, we did, of course, hear the Gang of Eight was
00:03:58.900 briefed. That's the Republicans. That's the Democrats from the Intel Committees, the senior
00:04:02.720 leadership. We were hearing that the Democrat House and Senate leaders were also briefed early
00:04:07.760 on. So rather than a full briefing from Congress, what are you hearing from the White House right
00:04:13.660 there? Is there much activity or has much of it been moved down to Mar-a-Lago?
00:04:19.740 Everything's moved down to Mar-a-Lago, Jack. And of course, the president has a skiff there
00:04:23.780 and Secretary of War Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Raising Cain, General Cain,
00:04:29.360 they're down there with the national security staff at Mar-a-Lago. And it really fits the same
00:04:36.340 pattern as the strikes against Venezuela, with the president being far more comfortable at
00:04:42.700 Mar-a-Lago than here at the White House. In the first term, there were strikes against Iran and
00:04:47.800 other places, but most of them were directed from here, some from Mar-a-Lago. But I think
00:04:54.280 there's a pattern emerging where the president is going to leave the White House, and that's
00:05:00.020 almost the signal that something's going to happen, Jack. Neil, we're also being told from
00:05:07.480 the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security that security precautions are being raised at
00:05:14.880 multiple areas around the United States, airports, key infrastructure. Are you seeing those levels
00:05:20.220 of security implements be increased at the White House in your time there?
00:05:23.440 yeah certainly uh there are gates that are sort of left open where you can walk in and then
00:05:31.200 sort of show your badge to uh the secret service uh officer those gates are closed you now have to
00:05:37.640 get a positive entry from the secret service and then you're also seeing increased patrols
00:05:43.740 you're seeing helicopters fly around dc and so i i wouldn't say that it's a full-blown alert
00:05:49.680 but certainly is heightened. And you're seeing a lot more personnel around the White House.
00:05:55.320 You're seeing a lot more police presence around the White House and Capitol Hill today, Jack.
00:06:02.600 Well, that's certainly in line with what we're hearing. And then just last minute before we go
00:06:06.780 to break, Neil, anything else from your sources on what else we could expect to see today or this
00:06:11.120 weekend? Well, I think what we're going to see is that continuation of their initial checklist
00:06:19.040 of targeting. And so I think that this, it's clear that this is modeled after Rough Rider,
00:06:25.960 which was the attack on the Houthis that ran from March to May last year, where they attacked more
00:06:31.600 than 100 different targets. But it was all done over the course of a month. And so there was just
00:06:37.420 like you said, there was the attack, there was the assessment, the attack, the assessment. And I think
00:06:42.680 it's going to be very methodical. I did hear that the Houthis are ginning up, perhaps making some 0.82
00:06:48.600 attacks, but we do have assets in the Red Sea. And certainly Gerald R. Ford, where it's sort of
00:06:54.860 stationed, is there as sort of the defensive shield against any kind of attacks on U.S. allies
00:07:01.140 or assets in the area, Jack. Well, that's right. The Ford can launch operations. Again, the Houthis,
00:07:06.120 they can launch operations within the region. Neil McCabe there at the White House. Thank you
00:07:10.820 very much, Neil. We're going to quick break here. Real America's Voice special coverage,
00:07:14.240 Human Events Daily. We'll be right back. And Jack, when is Jack?
00:07:18.600 where's jack where is he jack i want to see you
00:07:24.760 great job jack thank you what a job you do you know we have an incredible thing we're always
00:07:32.220 talking about the fake news and the bad but we have guys and these are the guys should be getting
00:07:37.180 all right folks we're back jack pasovic here special edition of human events we're live on
00:07:47.120 Real America's Voice. And folks, we've seen President Trump authorize these strikes now
00:07:53.400 in conjunction with the partner force in Israel to effectuate what President Trump has called for
00:08:01.240 regime change in Iran. And I think it remains to be seen. It remains to be seen how this will
00:08:08.620 shake out. Regime change in this region has a very mixed background. And we here on this program
00:08:15.100 have told you for months about how regime change wars, even in Iran, whether as well as looking at
00:08:22.180 Iraq, Libya, Syria, other parts of the Middle East, do not always go as planned. The CIA
00:08:31.860 now coming out with an assessment saying that even the CIA believes that the most likely scenario
00:08:40.020 in a regime change scenario, if Ayatollah Khomeini is killed, that an IRGC hardliner or a hardline
00:08:48.060 force could take over in a religious military junta of the entire Islamic Republic. And if
00:08:55.980 that takes place, could that IRGC Republic become even more aggressive than Iran is currently? 0.89
00:09:03.900 Could they become more of a threat to peace and stability in the region than we see currently?
00:09:10.660 This all remains to be seen. This all remains to play out.
00:09:13.840 Again, our reporting on this is a four-week bombing campaign is in the cards.
00:09:19.180 That's what the United States Navy is over there doing with the two aircraft carriers, the Ford and the Lincoln.
00:09:24.260 This also, of course, risks political ramifications for the coalition.
00:09:29.280 And look, Charlie Kirk said it himself over and over and over. The Gen Z, the under 40 crowd is not interested in more war. They're not interested in this aggressive foreign policy. They want to see the domestic wins. They want to see arrests on Epstein. They want to see mass deportations. They want to see economic relief. 0.98
00:09:52.080 That is their calling card and watchword as we go into the 2026 midterms here in the United States, just a few months away.
00:10:01.400 Now, that being said, President Trump understands this.
00:10:04.800 President Trump understands, of course, the necessity to make these rulings for the United States military.
00:10:12.360 That's his call. That's his play. That's what he's decided for.
00:10:16.600 And certainly we here in the United States pray for all members of the United States military, the sailors, the soldiers, the airmen, the Marines that are there in harm's way, boots on the ground, at least in terms of the bases that they're at, boots at sea in terms of the troops that are 5,000 troops per each aircraft carrier.
00:10:38.320 All right. That's five thousand American boys and girls that are right now in harm's way within range, mind you, within range of every single missile drone and asset within the Iranian military.
00:10:53.500 Every single one. And we know we've already seen these hits in Bahrain that have taken place.
00:10:58.820 That's why the Fifth Fleet we reported a couple of days ago.
00:11:01.240 A lot of people missed this. Human Events pointed out that this was a huge development, that the entire Fifth Fleet of the United States Navy pulled out of Bahrain and departed and dispersed in terms of new defensive posture.
00:11:14.520 We also reported on that the diplomats were leaving in droves of so many of these areas in preparation for a likely strike.
00:11:22.700 What happened in Bahrain? Well, we told you what would happen, that a strike would take place.
00:11:27.460 And it does it did look like it was one of those Iranian drones that made it in and struck either a radar communications array that is there on the ground.
00:11:36.100 We're also getting reports in that there have been strikes in Dubai, Dubai, of course, one of the major cities of the Gulf there on the Sunni Arab side of the Gulf, as opposed to the Shia Persian side of the Gulf, which is Iran. 0.66
00:11:49.600 This has always been the major fulcrum of the Middle East, right? 0.66
00:11:54.220 The Sunnis versus the Shia, the Arabs versus the Persians. 0.99
00:11:58.620 So when you look at the GCC countries, the Gulf Cooperation Council, whether it be Bahrain,
00:12:02.820 Qatar, whether it be the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, of course, these are the country, Jordan
00:12:08.880 and others.
00:12:09.740 These, of course, are the countries that are aligned more with the U.S., but definitely
00:12:14.540 against Iran.
00:12:15.960 Israel, of course, siding with those countries against Iran. So look for this play all to come
00:12:22.520 out. And I don't know, guys, if we have a map of the Persian Gulf that we could throw up right now,
00:12:28.380 but all eyes right now, and I say this as a Navy intelligence officer and certainly someone who's
00:12:33.120 been studying this situation, all eyes are on the strait, the strait of Hormuz. This is where so much
00:12:39.880 of the world's oil supply comes for. It all flows through the strait of Hormuz. This is the mouth
00:12:45.660 of the Persian Gulf. And if Iran is willing and able to conduct a mining operation to close those 0.98
00:12:53.820 straits, or even if they send out freighters with barrels that they can throw out to appear 0.90
00:12:58.280 like they've closed the Strait of Hormuz, this is going to royal the oil markets all around the
00:13:05.440 world. It is going to send the price of the oil spiking. You're going to see that potentially
00:13:09.100 tomorrow, potentially Monday. I'm glad I filled up yesterday. What can I say in terms of that?
00:13:13.920 But this is going to be a major development for world oil markets.
00:13:18.440 President Trump, of course, understanding, right, there we go.
00:13:21.200 That's the Persian Gulf.
00:13:22.060 And you can see from the North Arabian or the northern Persian Gulf or the North Arabian
00:13:27.060 Gulf, as we would say, in the intel community down there to the southeastern corner, that
00:13:32.860 is the Strait of Hormuz.
00:13:34.680 And so you're looking at that area, a key naval choke point within the entire maritime
00:13:39.640 world so much.
00:13:40.940 And not only is that oil and liquid natural gas that would head towards Europe, but also to China, China being the number one recipient of Iranian oil.
00:13:52.300 So China could come to play here in any of these situations.
00:13:55.840 I was up on the Charlie Kirk stream earlier with the Charlie Kirk crew, and we were talking about this, how China could come in and back the IRGC the same way that China came in and backed the Taliban in the Afghanistan government collapse situation.
00:14:11.800 And we've seen China do this just a few years ago because China, of course, understands that those oil flows are absolutely mission critical for China.
00:14:21.500 So this risks, this absolutely risks a wider regional war, a wider regional conflict.
00:14:29.300 I do expect that you'll see from the Russians and from the Chinese, you're going to hear
00:14:33.460 statements from them trying to contain the situation, trying to find off ramps in the
00:14:37.720 situation.
00:14:38.580 But of course, President Trump, Israel moving in on this.
00:14:42.280 We're also, by the way, and I'll just throw this out.
00:14:45.120 We just don't know.
00:14:46.260 There's so many things that we just don't know yet in terms of which leadership have been taken out, whether the Ayatollah has been taken out, the IRGC leadership, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.
00:14:57.700 The way they work within Iran is that they are a secondary military within the Persian state, within the Islamic Republic.
00:15:05.220 What the IRGC is, is separate from the Iranian military, Iranian Navy.
00:15:09.560 That's the regular forces.
00:15:10.600 The IRGC does not exist to protect the people of Iran.
00:15:14.200 The IRGC exists to protect the revolution. They are loyal directly to the mullahs. They are loyal directly to the Ayatollah. Their job is protection of the regime. And so the IRGC is going to be more and more than willing to do anything within their power to continue the regime, even if the Ayatollah is taken out.
00:15:37.280 And so that's the basic structure there. Again, we don't know, we're in the fog of war, whether or not the status of the Ayatollah, and I know there's been a lot of rumors flying around. Has he been taken out? Has he been, is he not breathing, et cetera, et cetera? You have to take all of that with a grain of salt going into one of these situations because we just don't know exactly what his status is.
00:15:58.940 So, as they always say, in war, truth is always the first casualty.
00:16:05.720 And I'll echo my comments from earlier, that in a regime change situation, in a regime change scenario, no one knows what will come next.
00:16:15.360 CIA puts their most likely assessment that the IRGC will take over. 0.86
00:16:18.880 I would back that assessment.
00:16:19.960 I've said that before many, many times.
00:16:21.960 But we also don't know if this could completely devolve into a civil war.
00:16:27.380 You've got these opposition groups, the IRNI, the MEK, you've got the Kurds, you've got a variety of other groups that could come to play in a regime collapse scenario.
00:16:37.240 So that could turn into a quagmire with a civil war with no clear leader able to take over all of Iran.
00:16:45.280 This leads to serious questions as to what would happen to any of these stockpiles of weapons or any of the ability of any new regime to be able to exercise complete control.
00:16:55.860 There's separatists in Balochistan, for example, towards the south, which is actually closer to the Strait of Hormuz and other alongside along the border with Pakistan.
00:17:03.640 So there's many other options and many other scenarios that are that could be extremely dangerous, not just for the region, but for the United States and all of our assets within that region.
00:17:14.140 And so when we look to this, I'll bring up again, Charlie Kirk. And we've seen a lot of Charlie Kirk's old tweets and videos. I've certainly posted some up there where people have been talking how Charlie was against a prolonged regime change, boots on the ground war in Iran.
00:17:31.700 That is the right call. Because again, the United States, the people of the United States,
00:17:37.980 by and large, particularly when it comes to Gen Z, want to see the focus here at home. They want 0.80
00:17:44.840 to see the domestic wins. They don't want to see more wars that they are not sure whether or not
00:17:52.080 those wars are of any direct interest to the United States. That's particularly the under 40, 0.83
00:17:58.000 under 50 crowd. And so we heard that video, that pre-taped video from President Trump that was
00:18:03.320 released very early this morning. And I would love to hear from the president. The American people
00:18:08.640 want to hear from President Trump. They want to hear it from him, not from a commander,
00:18:12.880 not from a staffer, not from an official. They want to hear from the man that they saw at the
00:18:17.320 State of the Union just a few nights ago who gave a command performance and a tour de force at the
00:18:22.040 State of the Union. There was a brief mention of Iran during that State of the Union. But was that
00:18:27.680 enough. People want to hear, Mr. President. They want to hear from you. They want to hear your
00:18:32.960 thought process and they want to know what is happening and what is going to come next. Are we
00:18:37.900 facing a four-week bombing campaign? We'll have more and all the updates around the bend. Human
00:18:43.520 Events Daily continues. You know, they talk about influences. These are influences and
00:18:50.140 they're friends of mine, Jack Osobic. Where's Jack? He's done a great job.
00:19:00.500 All right, folks, Jack Osobic, we're back live here at Human Events Daily. Special coverage
00:19:04.720 continues. U.S. military conducting strikes within Iran. Expect up to a four-week bombing campaign.
00:19:12.860 And of course, the way that this is going to play out is this. We're going to see strikes,
00:19:16.140 and then we're going to see pauses, strikes and then pauses. So we'll see this. And again,
00:19:21.040 this is based on our reporting from our discussions within Washington, D.C. at human events. Expect
00:19:27.660 to see a strike, then a pause, wait for the retaliation from the Iranians, see what happens
00:19:33.000 in terms of that while currently assessing what the battle damage was done, what capabilities
00:19:39.100 were taken out, what is the current status, are people, are protesters rising up, are they taking
00:19:44.540 to the streets. And there's serious questions as to whether protesters will do that after there was
00:19:49.420 such a crackdown last time when the Iranian protesters came out where, you know, the exact
00:19:54.800 number, I would say, is not fixed. That's there's been a range of numbers in terms of the crackdown,
00:20:01.200 what happened to the protesters. But I think it's pretty clear to see that Iran. And again, 0.82
00:20:05.220 that was the IRGC, because as we told you, the IRGC exists to do what? To protect the regime,
00:20:12.460 to not to protect the American people. And so when you see these bombing campaigns
00:20:17.540 designed to give the protesters optimism, to give the protesters a chance, as President Trump says,
00:20:25.220 keep in mind that the response is still the IRGC and their forces loyal to the Ayatollah,
00:20:31.500 loyal to the regime. Will we see more crackdowns, Tiananmen Square-style crackdowns
00:20:36.980 on the protesters? Will they be able to get out to mass in force? And would that lead to a
00:20:42.660 potential regime change scenario? And of course, we are waiting for more intelligence as it comes
00:20:48.820 in. Also, we're told that there is actually a protest going on already in New York City. Guys,
00:20:55.300 do we have the ability to go to the protest? Are we are we up there? So we're OK. So we're going
00:20:59.560 to work on this. We're being told that there is actually at this time a protest that has already
00:21:04.060 kicked off in New York City and that we have, through Real America's Voice, that we've got
00:21:08.960 some assets on the ground there, that we've got reporters that are going in to see what's going
00:21:13.180 on. I'd love to see who exactly is out there. What are they saying? What are the protests?
00:21:18.480 Zora Mandami, real questions as to what Zora Mandami is going to say, what's going on. We're
00:21:23.660 also hearing there's a protest going on at the White House. And so I'm starting to see some
00:21:28.720 video that's trickling. There we go. That's video. Guys, is this the video? Is that, I can't tell,
00:21:32.800 Is that the White House or is that New York City? I'm guessing White House because obviously you can't, if it was New York, you'd see more buildings, right? So that's the protest at the White House right now. And so we're seeing that there. And do we have a reporter who can come on at all? Or are we just getting camera shot?
00:21:50.720 You see this, you see the protesters, you see the truck that's, again, very close to the White House.
00:21:56.320 We also, Neil McCabe, of course, just gave us the reporting that we are seeing those enhanced security measures around the White House.
00:22:01.100 But at the same time, still areas for protest, still areas for for these people to come in and to conduct these protests.
00:22:10.780 Palestinian flags up that we're seeing a lot of handmade signs.
00:22:13.740 You know, you're not seeing those the ubiquitous or George Soros style mass signs that are there.
00:22:19.380 There seems to be one printed sign, no bombs on Iran. So that, of course, has already come to pass that we already have bombed Iran. That has definitely happened, as John McCain loved to sing back in 2008 when he ran for president and lost to Barack Obama. 0.73
00:22:34.040 I want to get in now. Tom Sauer was on earlier this week on human events.
00:22:40.340 He and I were walking us through everything that would be likely to see that we would be likely to see in the event of a regime change scenario.
00:22:48.960 In the event of these strikes, he joins us now by phone.
00:22:52.300 Tom Sauer, veteran Navy officer, Navy EOD tech. Tom, how are you?
00:22:58.520 I'm doing good, buddy. I'm actually on the National Mall right now.
00:23:01.880 my family I've got my parents who flew into town and we're being tourists on the mall and it's
00:23:06.660 interesting that you called when you did when you wanted me to give you guys a shout out I'm
00:23:10.320 actually in front of the Vietnam War Memorial right now and I'm thinking about these other
00:23:15.480 regime chain wars where we got bogged down and then we can always think about Iraq and Afghanistan
00:23:21.000 and the horrible loss of life there of American life and one thing that I think is such a breath
00:23:26.160 of fresh air is we're so much smarter about it now instead it's like we are going to take care 1.00
00:23:31.720 and neutralize the threat that the Iranians impose on their own people and also generally on the 0.99
00:23:40.520 region, stopping them from getting a nuclear weapon, but also we're doing so with very little 0.86
00:23:45.160 on the ground, with very little troops on the ground. Well, Tom, let's get, and that certainly
00:23:49.420 does seem to be what we're hearing as well in terms of our reporting, four-week bombing campaign,
00:23:54.180 no boots on the ground. Tom, when it comes to the assessments that you and I were making
00:23:58.780 earlier this week. How well do you think those held up in terms of what we were looking at?
00:24:03.860 So far, I think they're holding up quite nicely. I think they really are. I mean,
00:24:07.980 right now is I think what we talked about was taking out their air defenses. And then after
00:24:12.540 that, removing all offensive capability they have. Obviously, there have been some drones
00:24:19.420 that we've been seeing that have hit Bahrain, mild stomping grounds. And I've seen them out in 0.98
00:24:24.400 Dubai, I think they went to Jordan, and there's some that have gone to Israel, but they are
00:24:28.900 relatively few and far between, which is pretty much exactly what we spoke about what would
00:24:34.400 happen. So I'd like to say that, as they say on the internet, the tweet aged well.
00:24:40.680 Well, that's right. And Tom, we were looking at the capabilities that were there. We talked about
00:24:44.640 the electronic warfare package that the F-22 is designed for, how it was really designed for
00:24:51.160 suppression of any of the air defense to allow those Tomahawk land attack missiles, the T-LAMs
00:24:55.580 to be able to go in and do what they do. And again, we're still waiting on BDA, that battle 0.76
00:25:01.660 damage assessment, as to really determine what exactly are the capabilities, what is the status,
00:25:08.600 what is the capacity of these targets, just like any strike would be as we would incur in the
00:25:14.720 military. Yeah, no, absolutely right. I mean, that's kind of the way it works. You know,
00:25:19.480 a lot of the things that we spoke about was not because we're privy to some
00:25:22.600 inside knowledge or anything like that,
00:25:24.520 but it's just that folks like you and I, you know,
00:25:26.480 we've got a little bit of experience with how these things work.
00:25:29.620 And so far it seems to be correct. And also it's my understanding.
00:25:34.120 I know it's might be unconfirmed, but apparently Khomeini is,
00:25:38.280 was taken out. That's what, that's what it sounds like. Is that,
00:25:41.420 I'm looking at my phone recently.
00:25:43.780 I'm hearing things,
00:25:45.160 but I'm waiting until we get official confirmation on that quick break here.
00:25:48.600 Human Events Daily. Right back. Special coverage. Stop buzzing in my ear about the boring people at
00:25:54.620 your office. I'm trying to listen to the new human events with Jack Posobiec.
00:26:00.660 All right, folks, Jack Posobiec, we're back here. Human Events Daily. We're getting all of the
00:26:06.920 information that's coming out, the real time information, protests in Times Square now
00:26:12.880 officially beginning. We're getting some great reporting. Breka Stahl from Daily Wire is there
00:26:17.940 now. She's reporting on the protests that are taking place. We've also got the camera up there
00:26:23.000 at the White House. We were showing you exclusive footage of those situations. Again, so Netanyahu
00:26:30.080 coming out and on his stream, his video that he just put out, he was saying that there are signs
00:26:36.460 that the Ayatollah has been killed. Again, so he's not even coming out and confirming that
00:26:41.700 completely just saying there are signs based, I'm sure, on Israeli intelligence. Again, more video
00:26:48.940 here of those protests outside of the White House. And at the same time, we're also seeing that this
00:26:58.060 assessment from the CIA that the most likely course of action is the Iranian Revolutionary
00:27:04.520 Guard Corps, the hardliners there, taking over the country directly if the Ayatollah was in fact
00:27:11.420 killed. And I'll just say, you know, guys, from my perspective, that when you have a scenario
00:27:17.500 like that, if the United States comes in and kills the Ayatollah, yes, you will find some people who
00:27:23.180 in the opposition, it will push them. The opposition will certainly be emboldened,
00:27:29.920 but at the same time, assassinating the world leader, you're absolutely going to see the
00:27:34.920 supporters of the regime galvanized and emboldened as well. So it cuts both ways. It certainly cuts
00:27:40.920 both ways guys i'm told that we have uh javier negre live from times square is that correct
00:27:48.260 javier do we have you how are you jack i'm here because some protesters have been called
00:27:55.100 at 2 p.m but you can see like just tourists and people dancing but nobody's here so the leftists
00:28:03.300 i don't know where they are maybe the globalists are not paying them anymore
00:28:06.500 Yeah, I've seen, I'm not sure exactly where they are, that the Daily Wire has a reporter that they're in one section of Times Square, looks like down from where you are by the NASDAQ building, by Starbucks.
00:28:25.020 If you go down to the. I'm just trying to look at their video.
00:28:29.400 They're down by Paramount building. The Taco Bell is in the background.
00:28:32.460 So it looks like there's they're in one area of Times Square.
00:28:35.980 But, you know, you really you really look at some of these videos that are coming out.
00:28:39.560 Javier, in terms of that, you're actually quite familiar with this region, with the Middle East.
00:28:44.640 What do you think we can expect to see in terms of a response from the other countries, the other countries in the region to these strikes? 0.85
00:28:54.320 I think that the attack of Israel and the United States is justified because the regime is very harmful for the regime. 0.97
00:29:04.200 I'm talking with the Bahrain government. 0.93
00:29:06.380 I'm talking with the people from Dubai, and they are really happy with the movement of Trump and with Israel 0.53
00:29:12.560 because this regime, the regime of the Ayatollahs, has been paying a lot of money, 0.80
00:29:17.140 funding the terrorism international, making all the anti-Semitism campaigns. 0.65
00:29:22.020 Some people are really happy, except the president of my country, Spain, which he's very friend with the Yatollah, Yemeni.
00:29:31.280 So we are really upset in Spain. 0.92
00:29:33.460 We have a prime minister that he's helping the terrorism international.
00:29:37.800 So I think that President Trump, Israel, Qatar, Dubai, and all these governments like Bahrain, 0.94
00:29:46.080 They are in the correct way because Iran wants to kill innocent people. 0.93
00:29:53.180 Israel and the United States wants to kill, you know, objective military. 0.87
00:29:58.000 So I'm happy that we have the President Trump making peace worldwide.
00:30:02.800 I think they are in the correct way.
00:30:04.640 I'm praying for all these people that are in Dubai, in Bahrain, 0.99
00:30:08.520 like having missiles from the Iran regime. 1.00
00:30:11.660 But here in New York, I have been walking, you know,
00:30:14.260 and talking to the people and people is really calm down.
00:30:17.200 You have some reporters like telling that Iran has like some missile
00:30:21.900 or some weapon like pointed out New York, but people is really calm.
00:30:26.000 I think that they get used to having this kind of stress things.
00:30:30.940 If this happens in Spain, it will be the situation completely different.
00:30:35.220 But I'm happy that the United States is making pace everywhere.
00:30:39.000 Perfect. And, you know, I'd love to I'd love to hear this for more.
00:30:45.500 Again, you know, we're hearing some some of these reports regarding the status of the Ayatollah.
00:30:49.980 And of course, by the way, the Ayatollah has not come out publicly yet.
00:30:52.980 We've not seen anything from Iranian media regarding that.
00:30:55.980 No videos. Nothing's been released again, of course, you know, waiting for a full confirmation.
00:31:01.100 Javier, do you believe we could see the possibility of other Arab militaries potentially getting involved,
00:31:07.540 joining in the fight here? Do you think we'll see anything like that? We know they have ample
00:31:12.440 air assets as well, the Jordanians, the Saudis. Do you think that any of those militaries will
00:31:17.180 get involved here? I think that the Saudi government has just said that they are going
00:31:22.660 to support the United States, that they're going to support the Israel. You have to know that
00:31:27.900 Israel and Qatar, they are enemies normally, but now they are in the same war against Iran. So it's
00:31:34.520 very important that this war, it brings peace in this region, which is so beautiful. And maybe
00:31:40.980 Israel and Qatar, they became friends. And it's going to be amazing, of course, for the MAGA
00:31:46.320 movement that, you know, that it's completely divided, you know, between supporters of Israel
00:31:51.180 and supporters of Qatar. But I think that Saudi can defend the United States and Israel against
00:31:56.560 Iran. And I think that Russia is not going to do anything. They don't have like the support of 0.83
00:32:02.340 Venezuela, they don't have right now the support of Cuba. 0.91
00:32:05.740 And this attack against Iran is very important for the international terrorism 0.51
00:32:11.260 because after Venezuela, after Iran, they don't have funds to pay the international terrorism.
00:32:17.340 So Alex Soros, all these globalists, maybe right now they are not happy with the name of Trump.
00:32:25.780 But I'm happy with the Hispanic community, especially with Trump, is making peace everywhere.
00:32:30.920 I mean, New York, you know, people is really calm. I have been talking with different citizens.
00:32:36.380 They are OK with the attack to Iran. I'm going to the protest right now to see how many people there are.
00:32:43.520 But I don't think they're going to have a lot of people out there.
00:32:46.200 Well, I'd certainly like to see that as well. And, you know, I'll just ask, you know, as we see President Trump flexing the military muscle,
00:32:53.660 not only in the Middle East, but we saw originally in Venezuela.
00:32:58.400 One of the other countries that we know is on this list is Cuba.
00:33:02.540 What are you hearing about potential U.S. operations or U.S. moves in Cuba?
00:33:07.180 We know that Marco Rubio has been in discussion with Castro's grandson,
00:33:12.500 other members of the regime there in Cuba.
00:33:15.300 Do you think that we could potentially, look, we saw Caracas, we're seeing Tehran.
00:33:19.500 Could Havana be next?
00:33:20.700 I have talked to the Department of State. I've talked to different sources. Some of these sources, they told me that the solution for Cuba is going to be before midterm. So they have a plan. They tried to make that real with the Cuban regime, with the socialism. But now the strategy of Trump is very nice and very intelligent strategy.
00:33:45.640 It's like Maduro, they have him, you know, they told him, hey, you have like two months to get out of the power.
00:33:51.800 If they're Cuba and they don't follow the steps of Maduro, I'm pretty sure that Trump is going to take control on Cuba.
00:33:59.860 And he said yesterday, you know, that he has a solution and he's going to take control into Cuba.
00:34:05.940 All my friends from Cuba are really happy with the U.S. government.
00:34:09.160 And I think that before midterms, you are going to have a solution for Cuba
00:34:13.340 because my friends in Cuba, they are having, you know, a lot of problems.
00:34:17.580 They don't have electricity, they don't have food, they don't have energy,
00:34:21.220 they don't have news, you know. 0.98
00:34:22.920 And I think that all the Cubans that believe in the United States,
00:34:25.680 they are going to support President Trump because he's going to give a solution
00:34:28.600 with Marco Rubio in Cuba and without using the force.
00:34:33.400 It's very strange what happened the other day with the Cuban regime,
00:34:36.620 attacking, killing Americans. 1.00
00:34:40.780 We have to check it out what's going on up there 0.92
00:34:43.180 because I don't believe in the version
00:34:45.380 of the propaganda of these guys.
00:34:47.360 You don't have to believe any lie of these guys.
00:34:53.100 But we will see.
00:34:53.840 I'm very happy.
00:34:54.600 We have a President Trump that is making peace
00:34:56.840 everywhere, South America, Cuba, Venezuela,
00:34:59.960 and all the Venezuelans are really happy with Trump.
00:35:02.340 And now, after the ICE operation, Trump, President Trump, is explaining better the Homeland Security operation, telling the Hispanic community that he's deporting criminals, not legal people.
00:35:17.940 So I feel that the Hispanic community right now with President Trump, after these movements, is feeling better with the Republicans.
00:35:25.540 Well, certainly. We will see. Javier, where can people go to follow you and get all the updates to what you're reporting? 0.52
00:35:31.220 Thank you very much for your work, Jack.
00:35:32.980 I will follow you. Bye-bye.
00:35:37.220 Thank you very much, Javier.
00:35:38.840 So he is reporting live from Times Square.
00:35:41.720 He's going to head over to the protest right now.
00:35:43.760 We're going to work on seeing if we can get someone up directly from that protest.
00:35:46.420 Just a couple of pieces.
00:35:49.240 Explosions just heard in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia.
00:35:53.440 Sirens sounding in Kuwait.
00:35:55.560 the head of Iran's military intelligence, and many top agency leaders killed in airstrikes,
00:36:03.780 according to a senior Western security force, the CENTCOM, now releasing video footage of
00:36:10.480 operations. We want to see if we can get that footage up. We join you next here,
00:36:13.720 Human Events Daily, special coverage. Working long hours. I'm always listening
00:36:17.440 to Human Events with Jack Posobiec. All right, folks, Jack Posobiec, we're back
00:36:23.100 live here, human events, daily special coverage on this Saturday. President Trump authorizing
00:36:30.740 green lighting and conducting airstrikes within the Islamic Republic of Iran. I'm told that we 0.99
00:36:37.280 have footage now from United States Central Command, CENTCOM, that's the Middle Eastern
00:36:41.980 Theater Command you're seeing from these strikes. That's the Tomahawks taking off from destroyers
00:36:46.960 There, Tomahawk land attack, F-35s taking off from the aircraft carriers, seeing other F-18s taking off now, F-18s taking off to conduct strikes.
00:36:56.960 And these are videos of the strikes themselves, Iranian drones being hit, Iranian air defense, Iranian bases, IRGC implements, early warning radars being hit, air defense right there.
00:37:10.820 some mobile air defense being hit by the United States, possible shaping operations for larger
00:37:16.920 strikes to come. And again, our reporting is four weeks of strikes to come that we'll continue to
00:37:23.860 see. Tom Sauer here is calling in live from the National Mall. I wanted to get him on just to get
00:37:31.140 his thoughts. Tom, we're seeing this. It's lining up. Do you think, as many are now assessing,
00:37:37.200 that this could just be shaping operations for further, even larger strikes by the United States
00:37:42.820 military? I absolutely think that is, Jack. This is exactly what we said, the shaping operations,
00:37:50.680 like what we spoke about last week, is I would say that you're going to see these strikes
00:37:55.600 happening probably for the next few days. And then assuming that, assuming they don't fight
00:38:02.900 back assuming there's uh you know there's uh uh no significant retaliation you know or there is
00:38:08.740 any significant retaliation you're probably going to see you know massive bombing campaigns you know
00:38:13.000 the uh you get to see the uh the meme of the b2 stealth bomber saying feed me tehran you know i
00:38:19.580 think we're going to see that but it's the entire purpose of it is to get to the point where the
00:38:24.480 united states military mostly the navy and air force can operate over iran with impunity or
00:38:30.580 relative impunity once you have that you have complete and total air supremacy then they the
00:38:35.780 iranian regime and its military are pretty much going to be at our mercy and i think we are
00:38:41.400 absolutely right you're going to be seeing shaping operations and um it's it is really interesting
00:38:46.660 and very surprising to see matter of fact i just saw a couple of protest cars drive past me here
00:38:51.160 by the vietnam and lincoln memorials here and i know there's a protest going on the white house
00:38:56.660 Well, that's right. And Tom, we're actually going to go live.
00:38:59.660 We're actually going to cut live now because we do have someone on the ground at the protest in New York City.
00:39:04.840 Tom, everyone give give everyone your coordinates real quick.
00:39:08.580 Yeah, I'm at the Vietnam Memorial.
00:39:10.720 And but you find me on Twitter at social media, social media, social media coordinates.
00:39:16.740 Thomas B. Sauer. Thank you so much, Tom.
00:39:18.840 All right, guys, just a couple of minutes left.
00:39:21.220 Just a couple of minutes left here.
00:39:22.480 I want to cut in to we've got Brekka Stahl from The Daily Wire, who's live in Times Square at the protest.
00:39:29.580 Brekka, how are you?
00:39:31.220 Jack, I'm great. How are you?
00:39:33.760 I'm doing well. And of course, we followed your coverage of Minneapolis, everything that was going on down there.
00:39:39.340 You certainly put yourself into the fray. You're doing that again.
00:39:41.760 Tell us about these protests in Times Square.
00:39:44.520 Well, so believe it or not, New York actually woke up calm this morning and then the news started registering and hitting New Yorkers.
00:39:51.440 And we saw plans of protesters gathering come out as early as 8 a.m. and 9 a.m.
00:39:57.840 And so that's what you're seeing behind me.
00:39:59.720 And just like Minneapolis, they gather for a little bit.
00:40:02.920 So it started at 2, and then they start mobilizing.
00:40:05.780 And so they're just making their way out now into the city.
00:40:08.940 They've started yelling chants.
00:40:10.560 The one that caught my attention the most is when they yelled,
00:40:13.520 the biggest threat in the USA today, the biggest threat in the world today,
00:40:18.420 is Donald Trump and the USA.
00:40:20.160 day. So there, do we have any indication as to what groups are specifically involved in these
00:40:28.040 protests? I know in the past that you see revolutionary communism, that you see unions,
00:40:32.680 members of the SEIU, any indications as to who exactly these people were? Because typically,
00:40:38.100 these are not organic. So I've seen signs that say, you know, the working class are against this.
00:40:45.160 And then also when I saw the initial, you know, organizing of the protest on Facebook, post Reddit, it was the socialist group in America was organizing this.
00:40:55.400 And there was a fund, a nonprofit behind it.
00:40:58.720 And I believe the nonprofit was, you know, a unity and change or something like that.
00:41:05.040 But as we've seen in Minneapolis and like many places, these nonprofits, they use these trade names and it's perfectly legal.
00:41:12.320 But they'll use like Defend the 612 in Minneapolis, which is like the Minneapolis area code.
00:41:17.760 And they use it to make it sound local and make it sound organic.
00:41:21.160 And then when you start digging into things, it starts showing they're actually tied to larger organizations.
00:41:26.060 And that's what I'm wondering is happening in New York today behind some of these organizers.
00:41:31.140 Now, one question I had, you mentioned working American workers or Workers' Party.
00:41:36.000 Was it possibly the Working Families Party, the WFP? Because we know that Working Families Party is directly tied to Zora Mandami.
00:41:46.340 This was a group that he was on the ballot under the Working Families Party.
00:41:50.640 They are a full-on Democrat socialist group.
00:41:53.480 Wouldn't surprise me if there's some overlap between the Working Families Party and the mayor of New York, Zora Mandami, and these groups that we're seeing.
00:42:00.000 Any indication there?
00:42:00.980 No, I haven't seen a sign that said that logo directly, but I have actually been in touch with
00:42:06.920 the mayor's office. And because now we've seen the mayor has commented on this, you know,
00:42:11.100 denouncing the United States attacks. And they told me that he is not so far planning to be at
00:42:17.740 any protests today. But what we have to remember, Jack, is, you know, Zohar Mamdani does have ties
00:42:23.580 to these protests. And if he weren't the sitting mayor of New York, he would be out here with the
00:42:27.960 people. And so I'm interested to follow that and see what happens today. How about how many
00:42:33.900 protesters? What can you tell us regarding the size? Cause I see we're playing your video from
00:42:37.960 earlier, but as you can see that they don't, they don't seem to be behind you very much anymore.
00:42:42.400 Yes. Um, like I said, they've moved out into the city. I want to say a hundred have gathered
00:42:46.220 remember it's very early in the day, but I do just want to highlight they were passing out this sign
00:42:51.980 and this sign is actually very interesting. It says stop Trump's war on Iran and what they were
00:42:57.840 handing out has said Iran has not attacked the United States and has no attention to. Well,
00:43:03.020 and maybe you can confirm this, but I've seen reporting that says that Iran has actually
00:43:07.160 struck U.S. military bases abroad and overseas. And then another interesting thing about this
00:43:12.720 sign is it says that Iran has no intentions. It says that Iran has no intentions to build
00:43:19.600 a nuclear weapon. And, you know, that contradicts what President Trump said today in his speech
00:43:26.720 on True Social, where he said he has given, you know, Iranian officials the options to de-escalate,
00:43:32.720 and they're not de-escalating, and they're continuing to pursue nuclear capabilities.
00:43:38.280 Well, that's incredible reporting, Brecca. Thank you so much for being there. Stay safe,
00:43:43.300 by the way, as we certainly pray for your safety as you conduct this, you know, these investigations,
00:43:50.020 as you're there on the ground doing your reporting. Tell everyone where they can go
00:43:53.400 to get your information as well as watch your incredibly informative video the other day
00:43:58.000 about the State of the Union. So you can just go to my socials, Breka Stahl, and then also Daily
00:44:04.000 Wire. And thank you so much. We'll go find some protesters and then give you guys that information
00:44:08.740 too. All right. God bless. Stay safe. Breka Stahl, incredible new reporter for the Daily Wire. She
00:44:15.580 did great work out in Minneapolis. Kevin Posobiec, our field correspondent, was there with her
00:44:20.820 Many of those times she was going right in with Antifa, with the protesters.
00:44:25.140 She's doing the exact same thing, New York City today again.
00:44:28.760 And when we're looking at these reports, and I just want to say this, it keeps going back and forth because Reuters now coming out and saying that Reuters never reported that Ayatollah Khomeini has been killed.
00:44:40.840 Reuters putting out a clarification even in Arabic saying any claims that Reuters reported the killing of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khomeini are false.
00:44:48.380 Reuters did not publish this information. So again, as I told you folks, in war, truth is always the
00:44:55.480 first casualty. Must verify everything. We are in the fog of war, but make no mistake, the United
00:45:02.740 States is now embarked in military operations in Iran, human events reporting that we could see
00:45:09.280 four weeks, expect four weeks of a bombing campaign. We pray for all of our armed forces
00:45:16.160 members that are in harm's way and will continue to be in harm's way on those ships, on those
00:45:22.100 bases, anyone within the region.
00:45:24.880 Our thoughts and prayers are with them.
00:45:26.380 Jack Posobiec, I'll be back as soon as we have more throughout the entire weekend.
00:45:30.960 Ladies and gentlemen, as always, you have my permission to lay ashore.
