Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily powered by Turning
00:00:06.220
Point USA, the first show of 2022 officially. Top stories today. Well, a CCP spy ring has been
00:00:13.860
caught stealing monoclonal antibody research all the way back in 2015. We're going to break it
00:00:21.320
down next. A Seattle Antifa militant has been criminally charged as well as tied to MS-13.
00:00:27.400
Yes, that MS-13. Third, half a million new users have joined Getter after Joe Rogan and Dr. Malone
00:00:35.160
signed up for the app. And finally, a Hollywood consultant has admitted that Glee started the
00:00:41.780
wokeness epidemic and Human Events has the story. All this in Warhead, Human Events Daily.
00:00:45.300
Well, a former GlaxoSmithKline scientist has pled guilty on Monday to conspiring to steal trade
00:01:04.660
secrets from the drug manufacturer to benefit a Chinese pharmaceutical company that has ties to
00:01:11.480
the CCP. Yes, this one comes all the way from my own backyard, suburban Philadelphia, Upper Marion,
00:01:19.180
Malvern, PA, GlaxoSmithKline. Now, they are a British pharmaceutical company, but they have massive
00:01:24.480
research and development facilities just outside of Philadelphia. And that is specifically where the
00:01:29.460
CCP spy ring. And this is, by the way, the third spy that they found there was caught. Now, this one has
00:01:36.200
pled guilty. There are other cases that are ongoing. Here's the description. We have this from Reuters by
00:01:41.460
way of the Department of Justice. We're here today to announce three separate cases highlighting the
00:01:47.060
ongoing threat posed by Chinese economic espionage and research theft in the United States. First,
00:01:55.120
the arrest today of a Harvard University professor for lying about his participation in a Chinese foreign
00:02:01.680
recruitment program. Second, this morning, we have unsealed a separate indictment of a Chinese national
00:02:08.040
working as a scientific researcher at Boston University who failed to mention on her visa
00:02:13.580
application that she is also a lieutenant with the People's Liberation Army. Finally, this office has
00:02:19.820
indicted another Chinese national for trying to smuggle vials of biological material out of the United
00:02:26.340
States to China and lying about its federal investigators. Lucy Shi, 44, entered her plea in
00:02:32.660
Philadelphia court, becoming the fourth person to admit wrongdoing in connection with a scheme
00:02:37.600
to misuse GSK's trade secrets to benefit Reno Pharma, which receives financial support from the
00:02:44.000
Chinese government. Sentencing is going to come out. The case was announced back in 2016 and is among
00:02:49.120
several the Justice Department has pursued in recent years amid heightened concern about Chinese theft of
00:02:54.420
U.S. trade secrets. Now listen to some of the details. According to the indictment, from 2012
00:02:59.820
through 2016, she and another GSK scientist, Yu Xie, stole confidential information about GSK products
00:03:08.160
that were under development and provided the data for use for Reno Pharma. So Reno Pharma is that CCP
00:03:13.620
controlled company back in China. Prosecutors say that Xie, along with co-defendants Tao Li and Yan Mei,
00:03:20.400
created Reno Pharma in Nanjing, China to market and sell the stolen information
00:03:25.800
as its own research to obtain patents for their versions of Reno Pharma's products. And you have
00:03:32.060
to understand what's going on. Now one of the items, and we are told, that was stolen from them was
00:03:37.900
research that GSK here in the United States was conducting into monoclonal antibodies all the way
00:03:44.920
back into 2015. Now, I think we realize by today the importance of monoclonal antibodies and really
00:03:53.120
how monoclonal antibodies has become one of the most ubiquitous treatments, of course, for COVID-19.
00:04:00.240
So all the way back in 2015, the CCP was working with people, was working with these government-backed
00:04:08.820
entities to come to the U.S. to steal this biomedical research, to target facilities like GSK in the
00:04:15.140
Philadelphia area for their spy rings to go after this stuff. And so my question is, do we understand
00:04:20.880
what's going on? And are we even going to take this a little bit seriously? But here's the problem,
00:04:25.300
right? Here's what happens. And I've seen this time and time again over the past 10 years. And even
00:04:30.040
when I was in the intel community focusing on this problem set, is we treat this like a law enforcement
00:04:36.220
problem. What do I mean by that? They'll say, okay, well, we caught three of them. We're going
00:04:40.600
to put these three away. We're going to indict them. They're going to go to jail. They're going
00:04:43.880
to have to pay their fine, et cetera. And that's going to be it. But the question is, they're not
00:04:47.720
looking at it as a criminal activity. They're looking at it as an espionage activity. What is the
00:04:54.680
FBI doing to actually go after? By the way, this is the real purpose and the real job of the FBI.
00:05:00.740
It's not to go after the Meemaw, MAGA Meemaws, right, from January 6 and all the other stuff
00:05:06.500
that's going on, you know, going in and infiltrating these militia groups to, you know,
00:05:11.240
entrap people and everything else up in Michigan. No. We want to know what's going on in terms of
00:05:16.700
counterintelligence. Are you actually doing anything about the CCP spy rings? Okay, great. You caught
00:05:22.420
some guys that were stealing stuff back in 2015. Wonderful. That's three people. Where did they come
00:05:27.260
from? Where did they get their orders? Who else was in their network? Who were their handlers? Who
00:05:30.980
were they talking to? Are you conducting any research into that? Or as we've typically seen
00:05:36.480
with the DOJ and FBI, they narrowly focus on arresting a few people. They put, you know,
00:05:41.800
they get a couple of guys in bracelets and they say, well, case closed. Now it's off to go do some
00:05:47.080
political stuff and we've got to go mess with some conservatives. This is the problem right here.
00:05:52.660
This is the problem of our day. You've got CCP spy rings operating throughout the United States
00:05:59.120
and only once in a while do we ever see the FBI taking any action against them.
00:06:07.420
Well, folks, I always wanted to say thank you so much for continuing to support our show,
00:06:11.860
to support the work we do right here at Human Events Daily. By the way, thanks to you,
00:06:16.760
we were closing out the year. As we were closing out the year, we went and looked at Apple Politics.
00:06:20.660
We closed out 2021 as the number two podcast on all of Apple Politics. So thank you so much for
00:06:27.320
your support. And by the way, if you want to continue your support, you go to MyPillow.com,
00:06:31.100
you use promo code POSO, you get the towels, you get the slippers, you get everything else,
00:06:35.060
the fantastic items. Look, I know that some people got MyPillow stuff for Christmas,
00:06:39.180
but if you're feeling a little bit jealous, if you're feeling a little bit left out,
00:06:42.500
if you've got MyPillow FOMO, then go to MyPillow.com, use promo code POSO,
00:06:48.100
and treat yourself. Just treat yourself. You deserve it. Check it out. But we're going to get
00:06:54.060
into this next story to someone who also is getting what they deserve. A Seattle Antifa
00:06:59.000
militant has been criminally charged and her past ties to MS-13 have been revealed. This is
00:07:07.460
completely insane. But folks, we are going back to everyone's favorite location, my favorite
00:07:12.920
location, of course, from the summer of 2020, the CHAZ, the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, yes,
00:07:19.420
and the Seattle Police Department's East Precinct. Now, last spring, in the spring of 2021,
00:07:24.920
there was sort of a revanchionist push, if you will, where the militants of Antifa in Seattle
00:07:33.140
were actually trying to retake the CHAZ. What happened during that period? Christina V. Devitt,
00:07:39.300
a 34-year-old, according to Postmillennial, according to a 34-year-old Antifa militant from
00:07:44.420
Seattle, Washington, pled not guilty to criminal charges on Monday. She was charged after allegedly
00:07:49.740
causing significant damage to the Seattle Police Department's East Precinct last spring. What did
00:07:55.740
she do? She posted, she pushed and rolled a large dumpster directly into the garage doors of the East
00:08:02.620
Precinct during violent demonstrations. While doing that, she inhibited officers' abilities to
00:08:08.420
effectively respond to emergency calls directly impacting members of the community in critical
00:08:13.240
situations. So, she was locking the garage door, so if any police vehicles were trying to get out of
00:08:18.440
the precinct, essentially, to go and respond, not only to the protests, but God forbid, if there were
00:08:24.220
911 calls or some crime were happening anywhere in that specific vicinity of the precinct, well,
00:08:30.080
they wouldn't be able to come because she allegedly had put this dumpster in the front of it.
00:08:34.520
But listen to this person as they go out and the unhinged ranting that exhumes from them.
00:08:40.740
If you don't know the story, all of you can help because you have one thing on her.
00:08:49.700
Listen, my handsome brother and sister, quick, quick, as if you want a slavery day in your country,
00:08:59.260
ask your border and say that you're serious about it.
00:09:02.520
So, I went out to Chaz in 2020. I spent time there day and night with my brother. We were out there
00:09:10.680
for almost an entire week. And something that we saw that occurred at night in the Chaz, because
00:09:17.220
how did the Chaz get, you know, established in the first place? Well, that was because the mayor at the
00:09:21.980
time, Mayor Jenny Durkan, she had ordered this same precinct, by the way, that we're talking about here,
00:09:26.880
to completely abandon their posts. The police left and Chaz was essentially turned over to the mob.
00:09:34.660
Well, it wasn't just turned over to the mob, though, because protesters were the ones who started
00:09:39.220
it. But then eventually criminal gangs came in at night because they realized, hey, if the police
00:09:44.320
aren't here, we can go there and do crimes. Right. And so we saw drug gangs that were coming in at night
00:09:50.480
that were doing deals and that were working out in the open. It was kind of like a season of the
00:09:54.780
wire. And here's something that's very interesting that I don't know if people would know. I mean,
00:09:59.240
you think Seattle, you're thinking Pacific Northwest, you're thinking one of the major cities
00:10:03.000
up there. You're not necessarily thinking that this place would be a hub for MS-13. But listen to
00:10:08.880
this. The same Antifa militant, this Christina Devitt, all the way back in 2003, testified as a
00:10:15.940
prosecution witness in a murder trial involving MS-13, one of the world's most brutal street gangs
00:10:22.100
internationally known for their violence and their firm murders. Devitt testified that she was at the
00:10:29.100
home of MS-13's Joel Soto Rodriguez when he and two other gang members, Freddy Dominguez and Rahel
00:10:36.200
Perez Maya, abruptly left a party to take care of a dispute with a rival gang in White Center, a suburb of
00:10:44.440
West Seattle. A bystander that witnessed the confrontation named Margaret Emmett, who tried to
00:10:49.300
make peace between the two groups, who was shot and killed by Perez Maya during an exchange of
00:10:54.500
gunfire. Both Perez Maya and Dominguez pled guilty to second degree murder. The jury found Soto Rodriguez
00:11:00.620
guilty of first degree murder after it was determined that he had supplied the other gang members with
00:11:06.820
firearms and encouraged them to carry out violence against rival gangs. This is where this individual,
00:11:13.700
Christina Devitt comes from. This is where somebody who is now a very prominent member of Seattle
00:11:19.960
Antifa, that was the same group that's responsible for the establishment of the CHAZ, the violence we saw
00:11:26.020
there, the murders that we saw in CHAZ, the ones that, by the way, have still not officially been
00:11:31.440
solved. They are cold cases at this point, but they are still open on the books of the Seattle Police
00:11:36.620
Department. So Christina Devitt, you were helpful in this murder case all the way back in 2003. So are you
00:11:42.900
going to do the right thing? Are you going to come forward now and testify who was it that committed
00:11:48.460
the shootings in CHAZ in 2020? That may be your best way out of this.
00:11:57.060
Well, for weeks now, I've been telling you guys about the new platform Getter. This is a platform
00:12:03.640
out there that I've been using for a while. I've been encouraging people to get on. And I said,
00:12:07.540
what did I say? I said, Twitter is censoring more and more and more. They are swinging the
00:12:12.860
banhammer left and right over there. You never know which day could be your last. And the same
00:12:18.260
is true, of course, for Facebook, where they have admitted in court that their fact checks are not
00:12:22.720
fact checks. They're really just their opinions. So this isn't a question about who's right or who's
00:12:27.300
wrong, who's factual or who's unfactual. It's about who gets to talk, who gets to have a voice in the
00:12:34.020
digital public square of our time. Well, Getter is a way to establish your presence and to have
00:12:39.920
a lifeboat away from that world. And I got to tell you, my engagement's really up on Getter lately.
00:12:46.080
I've been posting there a lot more. I'm certainly going to be putting this podcast on Getter. And a
00:12:50.400
huge shout out to everybody that's been following Human Events Daily on Getter and is listening to it
00:12:56.300
having clicked on the link from Getter right now. Listen to this headline. Over half a million new
00:13:02.460
users have signed up on Getter just this week after Joe Rogan and Dr. Robert Malone joined the
00:13:10.040
platform. Now, what happened? The whole saga, and I think some people have seen this and I understand
00:13:14.460
it. So Dr. Malone, who was a guy that is credited for being, you know, he says that some people say
00:13:19.900
he's the inventor of the mRNA vaccine. Other people say that he contributed to it. But the fact of the
00:13:25.420
matter is the guy has an extensive resume doing research into mRNA. And he was absolutely there at the
00:13:32.100
very time that these types of treatments were created. He was one of the founding fathers of
00:13:38.220
mRNA as a vaccine and as a treatment as well. He goes on Joe Rogan. The day that they record their
00:13:44.140
interview, he gets banned from Twitter. Then the interview drops and it goes super viral across the
00:13:51.400
entire internet, specifically on Twitter. And there was one clip that got millions and millions of views
00:13:56.960
where he was talking about something called mass formation psychosis. Take a listen.
00:14:01.340
From basically European intellectual inquiry into what the heck happened in Germany in the 20s and
00:14:08.040
30s, you know, very intelligent, highly educated population, and they went barking mad. And how did
00:14:14.380
that happen? The answer is mass formation psychosis. When you have a society that has become decoupled
00:14:22.880
from each other and has free-floating anxiety in a sense that things don't make sense, we can't
00:14:30.500
So Rogan, after all that, decides, look, if Twitter's going to go and suspend Malone, then I'm going to go
00:14:37.540
on Getter because that's where Malone went. So Rogan goes on Getter. Then Tim Pool's going on Getter.
00:14:42.440
Steven Pinker's on Getter now. You're getting all sorts of people. Brett Weinstein, Eric Weinstein from
00:14:46.240
the IDW are going over there, right? You are now getting a flood of people. And then, of course,
00:14:51.700
with Rogan and his podcast, and just really, it became this sort of snowball kind of moment
00:14:56.020
where it's not even so much about just the fact that it was Rogan. It was just this idea that the
00:15:01.280
floodgates opened and people said, you know what? It's time to go out and do exactly what I've been
00:15:06.700
saying day in, day out here. We're going to establish our presence. We're going to make a lifeboat.
00:15:11.600
We're going to go to a new place. We're going to be safe from these arbitrary judgments. And by the
00:15:17.040
way, Getter has a terms of service, too. And I saw some people that were complaining about that, and
00:15:20.940
they say, well, hey, man, you know, Getter is not just this and that and everything else. Look, Getter has
00:15:26.220
a terms of service. You have to have a terms of service if you're going to be on the Apple Play Store
00:15:31.080
or the Google Play Store or the Google App Store. It is what it is. It is what it is. You need to be able
00:15:37.540
to play by the rules. But at the same time, what they're saying is as long as you follow the terms
00:15:43.000
of service, they are not going to be arbitrary bans from what Twitter would call this like
00:15:47.840
community guidelines kind of thing or this crap about you've operated multiple accounts. Like,
00:15:53.640
yeah, like, OK, I have an account for, you know, my that's my personal account. I have an account for
00:15:59.120
this show. I have, you know, my wife has signed into my account. You know, there's there's multiple
00:16:03.920
accounts going on and we share them. I don't want to get that by an issue. Of course, that's not what
00:16:08.860
Twitter actually cares about. What they actually care about is, again, as I said before, who is
00:16:13.980
allowed to wield sovereignty over freedom of speech in the public square? So now over half a million
00:16:20.140
people have gone on there. Who else? Dinesh D'Souza is on there. You got Rogan. You got Malone. They
00:16:26.300
also banned on Twitter Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene because what did she do? She shared information
00:16:32.060
from the VAERS database and she had a question about it and they banned her on Twitter and they
00:16:37.200
said, well, you've crossed your, you know, you've broken the three strikes rule or whatever that is.
00:16:42.220
They keep coming up with these arbitrary things to become as reasons to just knock off people that
00:16:47.240
they don't like. So Getter is absolutely weeping, reaping, reaping the windfall of this. And so
00:16:55.300
make sure you go there and sign up. So we talk about wokeness a lot. And last week I interviewed
00:17:04.840
James Lindsay, Dr. James Lindsay, and we talked about the academic underpinnings of wokeness. Where
00:17:10.340
did this come from? How is it that it infected seemingly our entire society, right? All the way
00:17:16.360
through, through our news institutions, through corporate America, literally through the military.
00:17:22.060
How did all of these ideas just suddenly permeate our entire culture here in the West? Did it all
00:17:29.020
come just from these rogue academics at some fringe conferences back in the 1980s? I mean,
00:17:34.980
in all seriousness, right? If you're, you're, you're not Dr. James Lindsay, maybe James is listening to
00:17:39.000
this. So James, you're listening. This doesn't apply to you, but to everybody else, have you actually
00:17:43.040
tried to sit and read a critical race theory academic paper? It is gobbledygook. It is completely
00:17:50.360
insane. It is ridiculous. Nobody is sitting and reading these things and saying, ah, yes,
00:17:55.820
this is what I'm going to base my entire life around. No. And so I've always said that there's
00:18:02.560
something that's missing a little bit from the story about where critical race theory came,
00:18:07.760
how it became to have so much influence in our society. Where did wokeness come from? How did that?
00:18:13.920
And so the social justice movement become so incredibly large, so incredibly fast.
00:18:18.140
And then I got a phone call from somebody who's a human events writer and they told me something.
00:18:24.460
They said, Poso, do you remember the TV show called Glee back in the mid 2010s? I'm like,
00:18:32.420
Glee? Yeah, I remember Glee. You guys remember Glee, right?
00:18:35.540
I am going to create an environment that is so toxic.
00:18:39.920
So it was the show that was out there and it was this sort of proto woke kind of thing.
00:18:44.700
And a lot of this stuff actually stems, it turns out, from Glee. But what people don't realize is
00:18:49.740
that show at one point had over 30 million viewers. Many of them, by the way, were in high
00:18:58.060
school. Many of them were teenagers. They were in their prepubescent years in some cases.
00:19:03.000
They were the younger millennials who are watching this stuff. And this was one of the first times that
00:19:07.460
they ever came into contact with identity politics. Well, this contributor, Bill Harrell,
00:19:12.500
he found a Tumblr post where one of the main fans, the leaders of this, you know, it's called the
00:19:18.900
fandom, the online fandom on Tumblr, who is now a Hollywood consultant, of course, admitted that
00:19:25.180
this is actually where one of the biggest starts of the influence of wokeness came from in the 2010s.
00:19:32.800
And look what she wrote. We fought its wars until it was too late, until it was nothing but a distorted
00:19:38.620
parody of reality, a cracked mirror. You asked for history. There's no history. It's only a gray face
00:19:45.740
telling you to destroy yourself. It's not history. It's blood. Listen to this. You have no idea where
00:19:51.080
the suffering came from. You don't know where the discourse started. Where do you think the word
00:19:55.380
problematic came from? Where do you think the representational anger came from? It came from
00:20:02.640
glee. And it came from the toxic fandom surrounding glee. So go to humanevents.com. Check out this,

this article. And so I was tweeting about this. And I saw some people were a little hesitant. They
00:20:14.500
were like, really? Glee is where all this started from? I say 100%. I think that that hit at a time,
00:20:19.700
keep in mind, this is pre-Netflix when this show comes out. Massive, massive reach, massive,
00:20:25.340
massive influence, probably one of the last big broadcast network TV shows prior to really the
00:20:31.620
advent of streaming. And it also hits at a time that social media is becoming ubiquitous. You get
00:20:36.980
social media, you get wokeness or proto-wokeness of glee, and you get this massive amount of push
00:20:43.240
behind it from, of course, the Fox TV network. Ladies and gentlemen, here's my other question to test
00:20:49.100
the theory. If you had any friends who were super fans of glee, super fans of glee, are they still
00:20:54.080
friends with you now? Well, ladies and gentlemen, that's all the time we have for Human Events Daily
00:20:57.940
today. Remember our motto to you, be good, be brief, be gone. This is the cliff notes of your
00:21:04.440
news day. This is where we are giving you all the news you need to know faster than anybody else with,
00:21:09.380
you know, a little bit of a little bit of analysis, maybe some humor, maybe a little acerbic wit
00:21:14.140
that's thrown in. But one thing that we always do before we leave you is we give you a moment of
00:21:20.280
history. Today's moment of history, January 5th, 1933, the Golden Gate Bridge began construction.
00:21:27.980
Probably the most famous bridge in the entire world. A fine example of American ingenuity in a
00:21:34.460
city that is now lost due to wokeness under the influence of shows like Glee and everything else
00:21:40.300
that was being pushed in terms of political correctness throughout the 90s. An amazing city
00:21:44.640
and an amazing feat of what Americans can do when they put their shoulder to the wheel.
00:21:51.240
Ladies and gentlemen, as always, you have my permission to lay ashore.
