Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily, powered
00:00:09.860
First of all, the president of Ukraine is out slamming Joe Biden after his botched call.
00:00:17.100
Next, President Biden is also preparing a shortlist for Supreme Court.
00:00:22.600
Third, Sweden has decided against recommending COVID vaccines for children aged 5 to 12 and
00:00:29.200
finally cancel culture's generational divide, a new study printed in City Journal.
00:00:46.080
Well, if you've been listening to Western media coverage about the situation in Ukraine, the
00:00:50.460
situation with Russia, you're probably asking yourselves, is Ukraine still on the map?
00:01:03.360
Is the new czar rolling his tanks and troops right across the river and into the heartland,
00:01:14.260
There's someone who's responding to all of this coverage, someone who's responding to this
00:01:17.580
completely botched phone call with President Biden, and that is none other than the president
00:01:25.920
Take a listen to this at a press conference earlier today.
00:01:28.540
So activities, some questions, and we are grateful to the United States for their ongoing support
00:01:37.740
to our sovereignty and territorial integrity, but I'm the president of Ukraine.
00:01:42.300
I'm based here, and I think I know the details deeper than any other president.
00:01:46.620
The question is not about the U.S. president, because, well, we do understand what the risks
00:01:51.500
are and which of those risks are priority risks, and we've discussed lots of questions.
00:01:58.080
It's important that the president should know the situation from me, not from the intermediaries.
00:02:04.900
He knows the situation from me personally, and we're talking to each other.
00:02:09.520
We'll have another conversation in a couple of weeks as well, but it's important not only
00:02:12.520
for our intelligence community and secret services to exchange information.
00:02:17.260
People need to be here and understand all the details, understand you are here.
00:02:24.160
It's astounding to me to hear this coming from a world leader, someone who interfaces,
00:02:29.320
literally just yesterday, interfaced with the president of the United States.
00:02:32.280
And if you read between the lines from what Zelensky is saying there, he's essentially
00:02:41.900
So he goes on to say in the press conference that the American media is creating panic.
00:02:52.260
That's what we've been doing since all of this started, which, by the way, was at a
00:02:56.260
higher escalation in 2014, but we weren't getting the coverage.
00:02:59.040
Even in 2021, there was an escalation and we didn't get coverage.
00:03:02.460
But for some reason, Western media is giving us coverage now when they weren't before.
00:03:10.260
He says, well, I'm not going to say that President Biden is telling the media to do
00:03:17.380
this in the West or instructing the media to do this.
00:03:20.820
But he catches himself because you can tell that that's what he wants to say, that it sounds
00:03:24.940
to him like President Biden is driving the media coverage.
00:03:28.280
But if you also listen very carefully to the words he's choosing, he says that Biden shouldn't
00:03:39.140
Well, in the very next segment, he goes and starts talking about the intel agencies and
00:03:48.840
President Zelensky is essentially saying that Biden is being lied to by the intelligence community.
00:03:55.260
He's saying there are people around you, Mr. President.
00:04:02.860
They are believing their own BS when it comes to Russia, when it comes to Putin, when it
00:04:11.160
And then you've got a media out there, which CNN, you know, they went and I caught Jake
00:04:15.800
Taper and Natasha Bertrand deleting tweets, deleting videos after the White House put pressure
00:04:22.080
on them over this very call because they were initially reporting on this call that Biden
00:04:31.060
That they got into a huge disagreement over this thing with Biden essentially barking at
00:04:35.520
him saying, oh, the Russians are about to, they're going to sack Kiev.
00:04:50.800
And then telling Biden that he needs to calm down the rhetoric, telling Biden to calm down.
00:04:56.000
No wonder they're sending him out for ice cream.
00:05:01.600
And that's why, by the way, the Ukrainians, the Germans and the French are sitting down
00:05:09.420
They're cutting out the Alzheimer's patient in Washington, D.C.
00:05:13.700
and the guy with the funny hair on that island, Boris Johnson.
00:05:16.180
They're cutting them out because here's the dirty little secret.
00:05:24.620
Well, continental Europe is saying, look, we've had World War I.
00:05:32.280
We do not want to go to blows in the dead of winter over this piece of real estate.
00:05:40.640
And he knows, or he's being diplomatic because they don't want to blow up the relationship
00:06:00.620
Well, we've got some more information exclusive to Human Events Daily from our White House
00:06:06.840
staffer regarding the situation between President Biden, Vice President Harris, and what exactly
00:06:14.840
So we heard, of course, earlier this week in another strange series of events where Supreme
00:06:20.820
Court Justice Breyer, it was reported that he was planning to retire.
00:06:24.320
However, then we found out that he didn't want it reported, that he was planning to retire
00:06:28.740
yet, that he wanted to do an announcement, yet that someone had rushed the story.
00:06:34.960
You think Press Secretary Psaki is sitting there like one margarita in one hand, the phone
00:06:49.520
It's all the way over in a part of the world that people can't even find.
00:06:58.520
And of course, the rest of the White House is completely caught off guard.
00:07:02.260
So Human Events can report exclusively from White House staffer that they were not aware
00:07:08.440
that Breyer was planning to retire because this retirement came out of left field, not even
00:07:20.560
So Kintaji Jackson is in the mix, as well as Candace Akumumi, Tanya Chukan, Letitia James,
00:07:30.980
the Attorney General of New York, as well as Aramis Ayala, formerly of Florida's Ninth
00:07:38.680
Then you're also hearing people from the Biden side.
00:07:41.640
They have Leonda Kruger, who is of the Associate Justice on the California Supreme Court, and
00:07:48.160
J. Michelle Childs, someone who has spent the past decade as a district court judge in South
00:07:52.700
Carolina who was appointed by President Barack Obama, as well as Leslie Abrams Gardner, a
00:07:57.240
federal district judge in Georgia, appointed by Obama in 2014.
00:08:07.680
This Supreme Court has already been asked to take up affirmative action.
00:08:12.780
So we know that that's going to be pushed down.
00:08:15.580
That's not going to be decided until next year.
00:08:18.800
President Biden, when he was candidate Biden, pledged publicly.
00:08:22.700
He said, I will choose a Supreme Court justice based on their race and their gender.
00:08:28.600
So we already set those preconditions of identity politics for the person who was picked.
00:08:35.480
And I explained this yesterday on the show as well.
00:08:37.840
That when you have someone that's chosen and you're already expressly told up front,
00:08:42.740
right, the framing of this entire judicial process, of this entire nomination, and of
00:08:48.660
this person's entire tenure now on the Supreme Court, on the bench, is something that our
00:08:53.780
Constitution obviously does not call for anywhere.
00:08:56.700
Nowhere does it say that there needs to be some kind of racial diversity quota on the
00:09:07.840
And we should be able to choose somebody with, of course, the advice and consent of the United
00:09:12.380
States Senate who can come through and do the job of being a Supreme Court justice.
00:09:18.560
And now look, I don't personally know any of these justices, right?
00:09:22.400
But I do see people up there like Sonia Sotomayor, who, to put it kindly, I think, is just an
00:09:28.700
example to everyone that anyone, truly anyone, can become a Supreme Court justice, even if
00:09:35.060
you're completely unqualified for the job, like she is when she's going around telling
00:09:39.160
people that there's hundreds and thousands of children that are hooked up to ventilators
00:09:49.860
And then she's going to go and take that nonsense and put it into her rulings, which
00:09:55.580
All of the 325 million Americans that are under her judicial watch, under her judicial purview.
00:10:05.360
Now, you can argue, by the way, whether or not the Supreme Court's purpose is to declare
00:10:10.160
That's actually something that they decided for themselves later on.
00:10:12.840
But the purpose of the Supreme Court, disputes between states, right?
00:10:25.080
Not one of the original purposes, but it is one of the functions now.
00:10:28.940
So if you're someone that goes there, and maybe one of these women is completely qualified
00:10:36.320
And I'm not saying that because I haven't seen, and it would be very upfront, I haven't gone
00:10:40.780
through and looked at any of the specific choices that they made previously in their decisions.
00:10:48.260
I haven't looked at anything other than who appointed them, right?
00:10:51.220
Because right now, all we're doing is getting together a short list.
00:10:55.880
We should be choosing someone for the Supreme Court because they understand the law, because
00:11:04.260
And they understand that the role of government in the United States of America is to protect
00:11:16.140
The Supreme Court should never be even be asking the question of medical decisions, right?
00:11:27.080
And you hear this when they talk about Roe v. Wade, for example.
00:11:32.540
Why is the Supreme Court judge the one who determines whether or not abortion, you know,
00:11:42.920
These are not questions that are to be left up to justices who are unelected titans in
00:11:50.120
These are questions for the American people to decide at the ballot box and through legislation.
00:11:56.060
These are not questions that were ever intended for the Supreme Court.
00:11:59.240
And we need to get out of the business of legislating from the highest court in the land.
00:12:10.760
I've been telling you all week that this thing is coming.
00:12:13.640
Now we've got blizzard warnings issued by the National Weather Service from the extreme
00:12:17.840
southern Delmarva Peninsula to coastal Jersey, Maine, Boston, Portland, Atlantic City, all
00:12:25.060
That I-95 corridor, of course, New York, Philadelphia, also in the mix on this, Washington, D.C., like
00:12:31.860
Norfolk, Roanoke, Raleigh, Charlotte, even all the way out to Louisville, Kentucky.
00:12:50.280
You get a promo code POSO, and even if you go, by the way, to MyPillow.com backslash
00:12:54.180
POSO, you can actually find some very special deals.
00:13:02.380
We've been able to update that landing page, so MyPillow.com backslash POSO, and then, of
00:13:12.960
Make sure that you and your family are prepared for it.
00:13:20.280
Sweden has decided against recommending COVID vaccines for children aged 5 to 11.
00:13:28.460
I don't remember hearing anyone in the United States saying anything like that.
00:13:36.080
The Swedish Health Agency has said that the benefits do not outweigh the risks.
00:13:40.960
With the knowledge we have today, with a low risk for serious disease for kids, we don't
00:13:48.860
Health Agency official Britta Bjorkom told a news conference.
00:13:53.900
She added that the decision could be revisited if the research changed.
00:13:57.040
Kids in high-risk groups can already get the vaccine.
00:14:02.580
Sweden's government on Wednesday has extended restrictions, which include limiting operating
00:14:06.600
hours for businesses and indoor venues during Omicron through February 9th.
00:14:14.740
Why is it then that in the United States, when you hear the CDC, or you hear the CEO of Pfizer,
00:14:20.580
they come out and they say, don't worry about it, it's perfectly fine.
00:14:25.380
But then the Europeans, right, the people that they always point to when they say, oh,
00:14:31.260
Bernie Sanders and all the lefties, they say, you got to follow European health care.
00:14:37.540
And Sweden says that the risks outweigh the benefits for vaccinating children.
00:14:45.240
So let's put that up against and see what the CDC director here in the United States,
00:14:49.520
who, by the way, is appointed by the White House, see what she had to say.
00:14:54.940
We now have vaccine that's eligible for 28 million children between the ages of 5 to 11.
00:15:00.440
We saw the deliberations yesterday at the advisory committee meeting demonstrating the risk to
00:15:06.200
children from COVID and, in fact, the real efficacy and safety of these vaccines working in 91 percent
00:15:17.060
And importantly, you know, we've taken the time to get this right, to do the science,
00:15:28.180
And really, you know, it's taken us almost a year compared to when we had a vaccine for adults.
00:15:34.440
So really done the due diligence, reviewed the science.
00:15:51.340
Do you ever get the sense that when people like Walensky and these other political appointees,
00:15:56.540
when they talk about children, they're not actually talking about, you know, human beings,
00:16:05.080
I go, you know, usually our one-year-old gets us up first, and then I go and get up our three-year-old
00:16:09.600
because he's starting to sleep in a little more.
00:16:11.120
But what's interesting to me, though, is I'll spend time with them before I hop in the car,
00:16:18.080
And then when I get home, that's the best time of my day is when I'm with them.
00:16:27.520
So when I hear stories like this or when I hear stories about, you know, talking about
00:16:31.860
sending our sons and daughters to go off and die in the killing fields of Eastern Europe
00:16:37.160
just so that the elites can talk about this in their parlor games.
00:16:40.800
Oh, our forces are fighting the czar in the East, right?
00:16:45.200
You have these people with no meaning and no purpose in their lives, and they're using
00:16:50.260
these crisis theaters like COVID-19 and Russiagate.
00:16:53.880
I think there's Russiagate 3.0 to provide themselves meaning.
00:17:06.700
Well, the City Journal has an interesting new study and a report on that study from the
00:17:13.760
Eric Kaufman out of Birkbeck College, University of London, who's affiliated with the Center for
00:17:19.380
the Study of Bipartisanship and Ideology, and it essentially says there is a generational
00:17:27.620
Survey data shows that Americans under 30 prize cancel culture itself over liberty.
00:17:36.860
65% of Americans over 55 opposed Google's decision to fire James Damore for having questioned
00:17:43.680
whether, uh, question the firm's training on gender equity.
00:17:46.200
Those under 30 support the firing by 59 to 41 margin.
00:17:52.240
Similar gaps separate young and old people on similar instances of cancel culture.
00:17:56.000
Uh, whether you look at Gina Carano, who was fired by Star Wars, uh, Brendan Eich, who
00:18:00.880
was fired by Mozilla for opposing gay marriage in 2008.
00:18:03.840
When you look at the people who are younger, it actually says that they support cancel culture
00:18:10.500
Even if, by the way, and here's what's interesting.
00:18:12.940
Here's what's, what's, what's so interesting to me about this.
00:18:15.200
They also say the data shows they're worried about being canceled because of one of their
00:18:22.040
remarks or one of the things they've said or done in the past that may now be misconstrued.
00:18:27.080
However, they still support cancel culture if it helps marginalized groups.
00:18:40.480
Um, and you look at Gen Z, it's actually increasing.
00:18:42.840
If you look at the millennials, it's of course, increasing.
00:18:54.680
You know, this, this idea of purity and you're never compromised and you're always politically
00:19:18.920
People who you are fighting may love their kids.
00:19:31.180
And, and, and, and I think that one danger I see among young people, particularly on college
00:19:41.260
Um, but I do get a sense sometimes now among certain young people, and this is accelerated
00:19:47.180
by social media, there is this sense sometimes of the way of me making change is to be as
00:19:56.900
So you have to understand these people believe they're on a moral crusade.
00:20:00.020
By a 48 to 27 margin, respondents under 30 agreed with the following statement.
00:20:06.840
My fear of losing my job or reputation due to something I said or posted online is a justified
00:20:13.820
price to pay to protect historically disadvantaged groups.
00:20:20.240
Those over 50 by contrast disagree by a 51 to 17 margin.
00:20:25.500
They're terrified of cancel culture, and yet they continue to support cancel culture at
00:20:32.240
The problem is, of course, that you losing your job does nothing to help any marginalized
00:20:43.580
So you have to understand several things here, but first and foremost, these people are insane.
00:20:51.620
They actually believe that canceling people from their jobs, canceling people, you know,
00:20:56.940
movies or whatever it is, will somehow help groups that they believe are marginalized because
00:21:09.500
That's all the time we have here on Human Events Daily.
00:21:15.720
The most high impact, high action analysis and information that you can find anywhere.
00:21:26.960
Before we leave today, it's time for a very special history break.
00:21:32.360
Today, 1986, the anniversary of the space shuttle Challenger disaster, which exploded just seconds
00:21:42.460
Because they had a school teacher aboard as one of the crew members, millions of school
00:21:48.060
children in America were watching live while it exploded.
00:21:52.380
President Reagan came out, though, and he said, we are not going to continue pushing forward.
00:21:59.200
We are not going to continue progressing into the future.
00:22:02.980
Ladies and gentlemen, as always, you have my permission.
