Human Events Daily with Jack Posobiec - Joe Kent Resigns, Ireland Mass Invasion, CCP AI, and Gen Z's Take On Operation Iran

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, it's Jack. I wanted to let you know that we're starting a new push for subscriptions here on Human Events Daily.

00:00:09.260 So make sure that when you're listening to this podcast, you hit subscribe, you download it, and you share it with five of your friends.

00:00:16.640 Make sure they're all going and downloading as well, because we need to get the signal out as much as possible.

00:00:22.380 Look, we've done so much over the past couple of years since this show started, and we're only going to do so much more.

00:00:29.300 Let's get it. 0.57

00:00:59.300 limit what they can pie with taxpayer-funded benefits. The policy blocks purchases of things

00:01:05.640 like candy, soda, and energy drinks through the SNAP program. The Trump administration says if

00:01:11.540 taxpayers are footing the food bill, then junk shouldn't be on the menu. Cuba is in the dark.

00:01:19.360 The entire electrical grid collapsing as the country struggles with an energy crisis,

00:01:23.960 leaving millions on the island without power. It's been three months since a drop of oil has

00:01:28.100 reached the country. Highways are empty because there's no gas. Conditions are deteriorating.

00:01:33.260 I think Cuba's at the end. You know, all my life I've been hearing about the United States and Cuba.

00:01:37.940 When will the United States do it? I do believe I'll be the honor of having the honor of

00:01:44.120 taking Cuba. That'd be good. That's a big honor. Taking Cuba. Taking Cuba in some form, yeah.

00:01:51.580 Taking Cuba. I mean, whether I free it, take it. I think I can do anything I want with it. 0.83

00:01:57.860 A U.S.-owned oil tanker targeted in the Strait of Hormuz, one of several attacked by Iran's

00:02:03.700 Revolutionary Guard Corps.

00:02:05.740 The devastation caused to the vessels, which can hold up to hundreds of millions of dollars

00:02:10.420 worth of crude, was clear to see.

00:02:13.540 Since the start of the U.S. and Israel's war with Iran just over two weeks ago, 500 tankers

00:02:19.180 have been struck in the Strait.

00:02:20.560 This morning, Israel says they've killed Iran's security chief, Ali Larijani, one of the remaining

00:02:26.380 faces of the regime. Just days ago, in a show of defiance, he appeared in a public march

00:02:31.400 when a strike landed nearby. Killed alongside him, Golem Reza Soleimani, the head of the

00:02:37.460 Basij, the religious militia responsible for the brutal suppression of protesters.

00:02:42.720 Meantime, Iran unleashed a wave of new attacks across the region overnight.

00:02:48.280 A drone struck this hotel in Baghdad, not far from the U.S. Embassy, setting off a fiery

00:02:53.900 explosion. And another attack targeted the U.S. embassy itself. Iraqi officials say air

00:02:59.900 defense systems shot down a rocket nearby, multiple waves of Iranian attacks. Officials

00:03:04.900 call it the most intense assault since the war began.

00:03:07.440 The Iranian regime has told Sky News, if you put boots on the ground in Iran, it will be

00:03:12.040 another Vietnam. Are you afraid of that?

00:03:14.200 No, I'm not afraid of, I'm really not afraid of anything.

00:03:23.900 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily.

00:03:43.960 Today is, of course, March 17th, 2026, Anno Domini, St. Patrick's Day.

00:03:50.100 And guys, if you could throw that shot up of the White House there, we could see the flags are back up.

00:03:56.180 The tornado warning ultimately didn't take place last night.

00:03:59.580 No tornadoes. And what do we see?

00:04:01.840 Oh, that's right. The green in the water fountain for the incredible St.

00:04:07.560 Patrick's Day that we have. But that said, what is the state of Ireland right now?

00:04:13.980 Well, let's talk about the state of Ireland because the state of Ireland is in a state of danger.

00:04:21.640 And Ireland is in a state of danger because since the year 2000, the foreign-born population has gone from 9% in the year 2000 all the way up to 22% in 2024, 2025.

00:04:39.020 five. And the foreign population that's come in largely has been from the third world. 0.98

00:04:46.460 That's more than one in five from Ireland, or excuse me, more than one in five are not

00:04:54.420 from Ireland. And they're told by their people, including the president of Ireland,

00:05:00.500 who was on TV earlier today, saying that anyone can be Irish, that there are Irish and new Irish

00:05:08.800 No, I disagree with that. I fundamentally reject that. There is the Irish and that is it. The Irish people are the owners of Ireland. Every single blade of grass on the Emerald Isle belongs to the Irish people. And it always has. And it always will.

00:05:32.440 A nation is its people. These things are very, very hard to create, and as we are seeing,

00:05:44.640 very easy to destroy. So when you look at the history of St. Patrick, and you look at the

00:05:50.540 history of what he did, bringing Christianity to Ireland, this Catholic priest, then later bishop,

00:05:57.520 a former slave, comes to Ireland, teaches the Holy Trinity, being born in Roman Britain,

00:06:06.900 and then going over, driving the snakes out. Yeah, we need to drive the snakes out, don't we, folks?

00:06:15.080 Understand your history. Understand what makes you a nation. Does Ireland need cultural enrichment?

00:06:22.420 No. Ireland has one of the richest cultures on the face of the planet.

00:06:28.000 It's true. It's great. It's an incredible culture.

00:06:30.540 It's one of the best cultures.

00:06:32.700 And the indigenous people of Ireland are the Irish people.

00:06:37.740 That island has always been theirs, and they have fought for it, and they have bled for it against all odds.

00:06:43.420 And now that very island is threatened by total replacement by foreigners.

00:06:52.420 conor mcgregor came to the white house one year ago today and warned of the mass suppression of

00:06:59.880 the irish people and it is time for the irish people to raise up make ireland irish again

00:07:07.620 make ireland irish today you're right back jack posovic human events daily

00:07:12.740 in our way and our golden age has just begun this is human events with jack

00:07:22.640 now it's time for everyone to understand what america first truly means welcome

00:07:28.280 to the second american revolution

00:07:32.360 all right folks jack so back live here human events daily real america's voice folks

00:07:40.460 If you're anything like me, the holidays were absolutely brutal.

00:07:43.580 Every healthy habit, gone.

00:07:45.520 Desserts, late nights, skipped workouts.

00:07:47.580 But now that we're in the new year, it is time to reset.

00:07:50.540 So let's undo all of that and make a New Year's resolution to actually give our bodies what they need.

00:07:56.200 For me and my family, that fresh start begins with Cove Pure.

00:07:59.320 Here's the thing.

00:08:00.080 Everybody jumps into the new year.

00:08:01.560 You're buying the new supplements.

00:08:02.740 You're trying a new diet or workouts.

00:08:04.140 But they completely ignore the most important and basic thing, your water.

00:08:08.100 Sure. Even mild dehydration impacts energy, focus, metabolism.

00:08:12.620 And when you think about all the garbage that's in our water, you're starting behind the curve already before you even begin.

00:08:19.080 Their ClearWave technology is certified to remove up to 99% of contaminants, pretty much anything that isn't water.

00:08:26.520 And I got to tell you guys, Cove Pure is where it's at.

00:08:30.140 PFAs, microplastics, pharmaceutical residue, fluoride, it all gets removed.

00:08:34.580 It's the purest water you can get.

00:08:36.320 And what I love about Cove Pure is that it lets you choose the temperature of your water.

00:08:43.100 Hot, cold, warm, it makes your water taste so good, pure, clean, no aftertaste.

00:08:47.920 And Cove Pure makes it so easy to get pure water with the push of a button.

00:08:51.800 So this year, make a New Year's resolution that sticks.

00:08:54.900 Improve your health with clean water.

00:08:56.940 Right now, you can get $200 off for a limited time if you use my link,

00:09:01.940 CovePure.com slash POSO. That's C-O-V-E-P-U-R-E dot com slash POSO to start the new year right.

00:09:10.080 All right. Well, very excited to bring in our next guest. Not the first time on the show,

00:09:14.720 but the first time in her new capacity, the former assistant secretary of the Department

00:09:19.940 of Homeland Security, Trisha McLaughlin. Trisha, how are you?

00:09:23.300 Jack, it's great to be back with you. Good to see you.

00:09:25.600 All right. You're adjusting to the new the new the new tempo, the new operational tempo there.

00:09:32.720 Yes. Slower paced, that's for sure. But it's been good. It's been good to be with family and take a beat.

00:09:39.040 All right. Well, we got to get you off the sidelines, because when when we're seeing this Save America Act that we're trying to push it through in the Senate,

00:09:48.140 it. The House wants to do it. The Senate wants to do it. The president's called for it. Let's take

00:09:51.620 a step back and let's let's actually look at the situation. I was just talking about Ireland and

00:09:57.880 their immigration problems. We still face problems here in the United States regarding this because

00:10:03.320 we have these illegal aliens on the rolls. We have so much more that the SAVE Act covers from your 1.00

00:10:08.460 position at DHS. You had direct access to that information. So paint for us the picture of where

00:10:13.580 things are now without the Save America Act. Yeah, I've yet to see a coherent argument on

00:10:19.240 the other side why we should not pass the Save America Act. All 53 Republican senators should be

00:10:24.540 doing just that. And it really does put our national security and, of course, our election

00:10:29.160 integrity at risk that they're not willing to pass this. I mean, Jack, we've heard from

00:10:33.180 Senator Schumer and a lot of these Democrat senators voicing concern that there would be

00:10:39.420 ICE agents at the voting locations come election day, and that they were actually concerned about

00:10:47.520 this when they're claiming that there are not non-citizens and illegal aliens voting.

00:10:53.940 Part of Homeland Security beyond the immigration aspect is CISA, which safeguards our infrastructure,

00:10:59.660 including our election infrastructure. That agency itself, while there's been great efforts

00:11:06.660 to reform it, they've gone really off mission and were very focused on thwarting what they

00:11:12.840 would call information, really censoring speech.

00:11:15.440 So we do have a massive problem outside of just voter ID and the election integrity space.

00:11:24.400 John Solomon, who I have great respect for, a great reporter who I think you know well,

00:11:29.200 he just came out with a report saying that in 2020.

00:11:31.880 See, you're getting ahead of me because this was my second question.

00:11:35.520 This is my follow up question. And I was going to say, so, you know, Tricia, we have this report from just the news and John's our colleague, John Solomon.

00:11:43.240 But of course, because you you're you're already ahead of us. So, yes, please, if I can get you to comment on this, this report.

00:11:51.060 So we're talking about the voter rolls here. China accessing the voter files because this is we know we're told that 2020.

00:11:58.620 I remember Chris Krabs over at SISA, he kept saying over and over and over, 2020 was the most secure election.

00:12:04.400 2020 was the most secure election.

00:12:06.760 And yet now we have this information.

00:12:08.260 What's going on?

00:12:09.780 Well, and I'd love to remind viewers, too, Jack, remember, SISA was actually housed.

00:12:14.240 What was that ministry of truth that the Biden administration introduced in 2021 and eventually purportedly shuttered based on public backlash?

00:12:22.780 But there was a guy on a on a podcast called Human Events Daily who took a lot of exception to that to that board, the disinformation governments board and and a certain Nina Jankovic, who was going to be running it and possibly caused a little bit of a stir back in 2021 when all that happened.

00:12:46.140 I forget who that guy was, though.

00:12:47.360 I can only imagine. No, Jack, thank you for your service and doing that and exposing it.

00:12:52.780 You've exposed this and so many other really deep state issues and things that really imperil the American people, our freedom and our rights.

00:13:01.400 As far as this report goes, it's yet to be determined, was the Chinese government able to actually infiltrate and alter those voter rolls?

00:13:13.280 Was Iran? Was other adversarial nations? I think that's a really huge question that more information is going to have to come out about.

00:13:20.900 No, I think it's exactly right. And so the story there, the questions about the Chinese having access to our voter files, which, by the way, I have to say just as a joke a little bit, that half joke, I suppose, that I know the president looks like he has postponed this meeting with Xi Jinping.

00:13:40.240 Jane, you was expected to go at the end of the month there to Beijing.

00:13:42.900 But I'm almost wondering if perhaps we can go to the Chinese Communist Party and ask them for help with the Save America Act,

00:13:49.220 because if they have access to our voter rolls, maybe they can tell us where the illegals are on the voter rolls and we can just match those up and take it from there.

00:13:56.840 Oh, you're exactly right. What a what a bleak state we're in.

00:14:01.160 I mean, Schumer and these other Democrats, but also Republicans likening this to Jim Crow and saying that there is infringement upon married women.

00:14:09.960 such as myself, newly married, because we wouldn't be able to use their drivers.

00:14:13.840 Well, I was just thinking to ask, Trisha, you just got married.

00:14:16.920 You know, are you still able to vote? 0.99

00:14:19.240 Did you lose your rights?

00:14:20.700 Are we living in Handmaid's Tale?

00:14:22.740 Or do you still have the ability?

00:14:24.360 Were you able to figure it out, how to register after you got married?

00:14:28.720 I was still able to register to vote in Ohio.

00:14:31.100 Somehow I'm still able to fly.

00:14:32.920 I'm still able to use my ID to buy a beer.

00:14:36.180 These are pretty common sense things that every single American can do, whether it be women or African-American people.

00:14:43.140 We're pretty intelligent Americans.

00:14:45.960 So what's really going on here politically?

00:14:48.500 Why is it that we see so much of the establishment fight against these when, in truth, when we get polling back on this,

00:14:56.160 these things like things like voter ID and getting illegals out of voting are so broadly supported by, by the way, all across the political spectrum.

00:15:04.240 70% of Democrats, according to NBC, actually agree that we should have voter ID to vote and that you should be able to present your citizenship. So this really is a 90-10 issue.

00:15:18.860 I think that they don't want to give the president any political wins as an extension of Trump derangement syndrome.

00:15:24.860 But further, I do think that they know that there are cases where illegal aliens and people who should be voting, who should not be voting, are voting.

00:15:35.200 And they want to continue to encourage that.

00:15:37.580 There is a reason, Jack, in my opinion, that that border was flooded.

00:15:41.280 And Joe Biden was waving people in that all of those Democrats in the 2024 primary, or excuse me, 2020 primary, were saying that they were going to give health care to illegal aliens and that it shouldn't be a crime to enter the country illegally.

00:15:55.480 Those are their voters and they don't want to thwart them.

00:16:00.120 And that's the problem.

00:16:01.540 That's the problem right there, is that they don't actually want to represent the American people.

00:16:07.920 They don't actually want to stand up and do the right thing because there are too many entrenched interests that are enjoying the fruits of this because, I mean, and let's just be honest, there are people who are worried about the pressure that this is going to put on illegal aliens.

00:16:23.200 And so Democrats, of course, don't want the voters. But unfortunately, there are many people from the Republican side that have ties to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and others that are very concerned because they know that the dirty little secret is that that cheap foreign labor is keeping a lot of their companies and a lot of their interests afloat.

00:16:41.200 Oh, I completely agree. And the fact of the matter is you do hear it from the left, of course, but you also hear it from the right, especially, you know, of course, those Republican members who believe that we should be using essentially slave labor and these illegal aliens to cheapen wages, to cheapen the price of goods for us.

00:17:02.620 But the fact of the matter is if illegal alien workforce was actually effective for our economy, then Joe Biden would have had a booming economy. 0.62

00:17:13.300 Of course, he didn't have that when he flooded our country with 10 to 15 million illegal aliens. 0.98

00:17:18.520 And we still had a crap economy. There is no correlation. And it's really just a cop out. 0.99

00:17:24.600 No, that's exactly right. I remember someone saying that it's going to help with inflation if we have more people,

00:17:31.200 because there's more people to spend the dollars.

00:17:34.280 The arguments just completely fall apart every time you look at it

00:17:39.680 because we know, by the way, that by and large with these illegals 0.99

00:17:42.780 when they're coming in, they're not spending most of their money here.

00:17:45.960 They're sending the money back.

00:17:47.380 They're sending it back in remittances.

00:17:49.220 So, you know, places like Springfield, Ohio,

00:17:51.040 others where they've been hit by this,

00:17:53.520 they don't even actually get the financial or economic benefit

00:17:58.180 to the area that they always claim is going to come.

00:18:00.100 Exactly. And Jack, to that end, there's actually a rule that just went into effect from the Department of Transportation just yesterday saying non-domiciled aliens, including those who are in this country illegally, will no longer have the option or right to have a commercial driver's license.

00:18:17.920 This is very common sense when there's no longer these non-domiciled drivers. We don't have a record of what their driving is like. We don't know if they've had DUIs.

00:18:30.100 oh i think we may have lost a little bit of a connection there with trisha i don't know 0.90

00:18:37.900 perhaps it was the chinese communist party hacking into her uh her connection there but of course go

00:18:43.060 give her a follow over at trisha ohio and it's great to see the great trisha mclaughlin staying

00:18:49.660 in the fight human events daily we'll be right back

00:19:00.100 Talk about influences. These are influences. And they're friends of mine. Jack Posobiec. Where's Jack? Jack. He's done a great job.

00:19:12.480 All right, folks, Jack Posobiec here in the darkness.

00:19:19.420 That's kind of interesting on Human Events Daily.

00:19:22.860 We've got we're very excited to have our next guest.

00:19:26.120 It's Wynton Hall from Breitbart News.

00:19:29.980 He's coming on because we need to talk about China.

00:19:32.960 China is so important.

00:19:35.360 China is in the AI fight with the United States.

00:19:40.020 And in this A.I. fight, the question is, is this going to be a national security concern?

00:19:46.140 Well, it certainly is. And we just hear about China with the voting roll.

00:19:48.920 So let's get him on now.

00:19:50.800 Wynton Hall from Breitbart News, the author of the new book Code Red, joins us here.

00:19:55.100 Wynton, how are you?

00:19:56.400 Oh, great to be with you, Jack. Thank you.

00:19:59.080 All right. So are we losing the China war or the A.I. war to China? What do you say?

00:20:04.280 We're not yet, but we've got to make sure that we stay ahead.

00:20:07.760 We definitely have a lead because of our advancements in semiconductors and President Trump and Vice President Vance of doing an amazing job of really making sure that we have what we need to win that AI race.

00:20:20.460 But we cannot be caught flat footed.

00:20:22.580 We saw with the DeepSeek R1 moment, that one day wipeout, biggest historic one day market cap loss when they rocked NVIDIA with a $600 billion market cap wipeout when they released DeepSeek.

00:20:35.320 And so they came to play, right?

00:20:36.860 We know that since 2017, they've had this determined drive to make sure that they dominate by 2030 in the global AI race.

00:20:44.580 And I think Americans sometimes say, well, you know, how does that affect me?

00:20:48.340 I think it's two things.

00:20:49.520 I think there's the economic component, which we sort of just alluded to.

00:20:52.940 In addition to that, the upside is that, you know, on any given day, depending upon market fluctuation,

00:20:57.380 you're looking at a third of the S&P 500 made up of the magnificent seven, the seven large American tech companies.

00:21:04.440 So there's the plus and the minus there.

00:21:05.780 but I don't have to tell you, you're the expert. You know that the military piece is the real part

00:21:10.860 because that involves human lives, not just capital. And we can talk a lot about why we have

00:21:15.840 to win that race. And in Code Red, what I say is we've got to beat China without becoming China. 0.92

00:21:21.520 And I think we can do that. I think we have a plan to do that, but it's going to take a lot. 0.97

00:21:25.920 And I think a lot of Americans maybe are just coming late to this conversation and realizing

00:21:31.000 that, wow, this really is a 5D new chess game that we got to play.

00:21:36.620 I know. And this situation is actually serious because, you know, we look as as the United States is getting involved in Iran.

00:21:44.360 What's China doing? Oh, they're massing up right outside of Taiwan.

00:21:48.420 Now, personally, I'm a guy who's always said that I don't think China wants to take Taiwan directly by force,

00:21:55.420 but certainly they are showing us the optionality that they have.

00:21:59.780 Now you add AI targeting to any of the packages that they could be looking at with Taiwan Island,

00:22:04.260 looking at the packages in terms of U.S. military installations,

00:22:08.460 this shows exactly what they could do to apply that to their military

00:22:12.560 and put a really strong squeeze on the Republic of China.

00:22:18.800 Yeah, I mean, Jack, you nailed it.

00:22:20.860 One of the things that people need to understand

00:22:22.900 is that one of the things that AI in the defense tech space will really excel at,

00:22:29.120 we often think of these sort of Hollywood things of Terminator with laser beam eyes and things.

00:22:34.260 And certainly the autonomous warfare piece is important, and I talk about that.

00:22:38.800 But the real thing that on a just broad and very, very effective level it is,

00:22:43.440 is this mass scale pattern recognition.

00:22:46.920 And so when you have all this intel information, all this intercepted communication,

00:22:51.000 all of these audio and video and satellite,

00:22:53.660 being able to quickly boil that down to actionable intel

00:22:58.380 that used to take hundreds of human officers months to be able to do

00:23:04.020 can be done in warp speed. That's a huge advantage for us. We've seen it being used

00:23:07.820 right now with Iran. We've seen it used in the Maduro rate. But it also means,

00:23:11.980 and that's your point, that democratization of that power and

00:23:16.000 other nation states and non-state actors who obtain it,

00:23:20.040 that also gives them massive leverage. I think the other thing, too.

00:23:24.540 I was just going to ask, so China, we've actually

00:23:28.060 been covering, and not a lot of people have talked about this, here at Human Events, we've been covering

00:23:32.100 how China is using their AI functionality along with their new satellite technology to be able to

00:23:39.780 provide images of the U.S. military as it's conducting this operation in Iran, whether it's

00:23:47.120 the Ford, whether it's the USS Tripoli that's headed up through the Straits of Malacca right now

00:23:51.420 with that 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit there, whether it's planes on the tarmac, they're

00:23:56.380 potentially able to provide targeting for information to the Iranians. I mean, they are

00:24:00.860 showing us a masterclass in real time, how they're able to pair their new technology with AI. And

00:24:06.580 guess what? They're providing it for the entire world to see. They're bragging, aren't they?

00:24:11.420 Absolutely. It's a muscle flex. You said it exactly right. And I think the other thing too

00:24:16.660 is when you look at the resource allocation that they have poured into this, I think a lot of us

00:24:23.680 probably wouldn't be aware. They spend, China spends more on semiconductor imports than they

00:24:30.100 do on oil. So that just really shows you where their priorities are in that 2017 plan they laid

00:24:36.860 out for 2030 dominance. The other thing that you take into consideration of that is telescoping

00:24:42.600 this out as both superpowers are racing toward what's known as RSI, recursive self-improvement.

00:24:51.840 And what is that? It is when an AI can autonomously improve and update its own code.

00:24:59.260 We're not there yet technologically. Anthropic just had some recent data on this. But when you get something that is like RSI, the exponential goes up and anybody in the defense space will tell you if that theoretical construct were to be achieved.

00:25:13.180 Think about this. You would have, you know, full spectrum battlefield dominance and things like encryption, cyber attacks, cybersecurity, hacking of missile systems, hacking of infrastructure.

00:25:25.000 So the reason why people say we've got to beat China in this A.I. race is once whoever gets there first, they really do gain this level of battlefield supremacy that is unlike anything we've seen. 0.79

00:25:36.360 So people say sometimes to me, they'll say, you know, aren't a lot of these just, you know, marketing pitches by these huge, you know, trillion dollar companies so that they can raise investor capital by making it sound like their tech is so important.

00:25:50.040 Look, I think two things can be true at the same time, right?

00:25:52.420 No doubt.

00:25:53.040 Look, from the market side and as a business, I'm sure they use that to build a capital raise.

00:25:58.660 But I don't have to tell you, you've lived it and you know it probably better than most in our movement.

00:26:03.440 This is real.

00:26:04.820 China is there to play, and they are putting their money where their mouth is. 0.63

00:26:09.820 Tell us, again, the name of the book and where people can get it.

00:26:13.740 Oh, thank you.

00:26:14.580 Code Red, The Left, The Right, China, and the Race to Control AI,

00:26:19.520 and it came out today, and you can get it anywhere books are sold

00:26:23.080 and on Amazon for sure.

00:26:26.120 I didn't even realize, so not only is it Happy St. Patrick's Day to you,

00:26:28.940 it's Happy Pub Day, so go and check that out, folks.

00:26:31.780 And as we've been here, just guys, look, we've been tracking at Mizar Vision.

00:26:36.580 China is showing us our own military operations and showing our adversaries in real time.

00:26:43.300 What is the threat? The threat is now.

00:26:46.600 Check this book out. Be right back. Human Events Daily.

00:26:51.900 Jack. Where's Jack? Where is he?

00:26:57.280 Jack, I want to see you.

00:26:58.820 great job jack thank you what a job you do you know we have an incredible thing we're always

00:27:06.360 talking about the fake news and the bad but we have guys and these are the guys should be getting

00:27:11.300 all right folks america is entering its 250th year and the direction of this country is being

00:27:20.060 decided right now in our culture in our economy and who we choose to support matters more than

00:27:25.720 ever. Most wireless companies don't tell you who you are or what you believe. They just want your

00:27:30.460 money. Patriot Mobile, of course, is different. For more than 12 years, they've stood with

00:27:34.960 Americans who believe freedom is worth defending, funding the Christian conservative movement when

00:27:39.680 others stayed silent. Here's the deal. You don't have to give up quality or service when you switch

00:27:44.680 to Patriot Mobile. They deliver premium priority access on all three major U.S. networks, so you'll

00:27:50.500 the same or better coverage than you have today think switching is a hassle it isn't keep your

00:27:56.100 number keep your phone or you can upgrade the 100 us-based support team can activate you in minutes

00:28:03.380 so if you're still paying off the device guess what patriot mobile they're going to come in

00:28:27.360 slash POSO or give them a call 972-PATRIOT. Make the switch today. Well, folks, we saw the news

00:28:34.880 this morning going viral about Joe Kent. And what can we say? You have to thank Joe Kent for his

00:28:42.380 service. There's no question. This man has sacrificed more for his country and has done

00:28:48.580 more for his country than any of us will ever do in a lifetime. An 11-time combat veteran

00:28:55.040 and also a gold star husband. And I remember serving in the Navy when Shannon died and just

00:29:03.280 being in Navy intelligence. We heard about it. It was a huge blow. I hadn't met Joe at the time,

00:29:09.440 But people know that I've connected with him and campaigned for him and helped helped him get into when he was running, helped him when he was running.

00:29:17.920 And you have to thank Joe Kent for his service.

00:29:20.760 And there's no question about that.

00:29:22.080 And you have to respect that service when it comes to.

00:29:27.580 The situation at hand, the situation is what it is.

00:29:31.560 It certainly is what it is.

00:29:34.360 Donald Trump is the president of the United States.

00:29:36.620 Donald Trump is in the driver's seat.

00:29:37.940 Like I said last night, like I said every day, Donald Trump as the commander in chief is the one that we chose to make the decisions for the United States, for our country, for our freedom, for our security.

00:29:48.860 That's Donald Trump's position.

00:29:51.160 And there is no question that you have to respect what Donald Trump has sacrificed, what Donald Trump has put up.

00:29:57.600 And the fact that Donald Trump has been willing to put his life on the line for all of us.

00:30:03.540 He did so at Butler.

00:30:05.620 He does so every single day.

00:30:08.660 And so when we have these situations, you know, it's unfortunate.

00:30:12.720 You wish they didn't have to happen.

00:30:14.420 You wish it wasn't something that was happening.

00:30:16.160 But that's what's going on out there.

00:30:18.020 And I want to bring on Evita Duffy here, Human Events Daily. 0.93

00:30:22.120 She is our, as we say, our favorite anti-communist.

00:30:27.240 And as she reminded me in the break, she is, of course, as a Duffy, a daughter of Ireland as well.

00:30:33.560 Evita, how are you?

00:30:34.760 Good. Thanks for having me, Jack.

00:30:37.540 No, it's good to have you on. And I guess this is when I've talked before about the generational divide, how I believe there is this sort of generational.

00:30:46.420 And it's just something that is when it comes to foreign intervention, when it comes to war, when it comes to these matters.

00:30:54.380 Is that something that we're seeing now when we look at the Iran operation, where there's there's people over a certain age that are fully behind it?

00:31:02.300 There's people sort of who are in the middle and then there's young people that are just totally opposed to it.

00:31:08.060 Do I have that right? Am I seeing it? What are you seeing out there?

00:31:11.760 Yeah, well, let's just dig into the polling right now.

00:31:13.960 So you have 72 percent of independents who are saying that they are against this war.

00:31:18.400 For Gen Z, this is an NPR poll from just this month.

00:31:21.780 Sixty two percent of Gen Z voters disprove of President Trump's handling of Iran.

00:31:26.180 Twenty four percent approve.

00:31:27.940 Now, this is, of course, significant because it's not just polling left wing libs who are overwhelmingly against this conflict, but included in that Gen Z coalition are a lot of conservatives who actually voted for President Trump.

00:31:40.460 President Trump historically won Gen Z men in 2024. 0.78

00:31:43.980 Whoever thought that could have happened, it did. 0.60

00:31:45.980 And so I think what's happening, Jack, is and this is a narrative problem.

00:31:50.680 A lot of Gen Zers are associating the war in Iran that we're having right now with Iraq and Afghanistan.

00:31:57.500 And the statement that Joe Kent came out with today narratively does not help that at all. Right. He said this is Iraq 2.0 and we're doing this on behalf of Israel. That's not some podcaster saying that that's Joe Kent.

00:32:08.880 So the problem now is a lot of young people are viewing this as Iraq 2.0. And what happened when we went into these forever wars in the Middle East? You had trillions of dollars being spent on these wars. How did we afford them? Well, we borrowed money. This, of course, increases deficits, increases our national debt, increases inflation. It devalues the American currency. And that takes away the American dream from young people.

00:32:34.320 President Trump knows this. President Trump has been against forever wars for his entire political career. Right. And so I don't think that what's happening in Iran is necessarily what happened in Iraq and Afghanistan.

00:32:44.560 The problem is that there's a narrative that it is and we're ahead of midterms. And if you're a black pillar and you're worried about, you know, the Trump admin isn't doing enough, we're not we're not being successful enough, which I disagree with.

00:32:56.980 But if you really want to see nothing happen, let's see what happens in the midterms when the Democrats take back the House or potentially take back the Senate.

00:33:03.920 And then we're going through two years of incessant impeachment proceedings.

00:33:09.200 And I do think, by the way, that, you know, this and this is something that I've brought up so many times as well.

00:33:15.080 I said, guys, it's been two weeks.

00:33:17.420 You know, it has been two weeks, two weeks and a couple of days.

00:33:20.820 That is so different because I remember I remember the Iraq war.

00:33:24.420 I remember the mobilization.

00:33:26.320 I remember the months and months that went into that went into sort of the championing for the war.

00:33:33.500 Colin Powell goes up to the U.N. is talking about the weapons of mass destruction.

00:33:37.820 I remember the whole thing. This was laid out systemically by the administration, by the Bush administration over a long period of time.

00:33:45.180 And at the same time, people have to remember, you know, when you look back on it, that in context, 9-11 wasn't that long before.

00:33:54.120 And so people were very traumatized. Just the American people were very traumatized by that attack and were feeling vulnerable, feeling at risk, feeling like another terrorist attack could happen.

00:34:04.660 And we're looking for the government to protect them. And what the Bush administration did was squander that trust, absolutely squander that trust and say, oh, we need to go and do this because this is the big problem.

00:34:17.760 And not only and that was far more than just, you know, airstrikes and hitting military installations.

00:34:23.820 That was a full on ground invasion where when, you know, my senior year, I remember people who saying, hey, I'm going to enlist in the army.

00:34:33.720 And they did. And I knew people who enlisted and were in that pipeline and went straight to Iraq.

00:34:38.700 And I knew people who came back. I know people who didn't come back. And that's just how it was during those years.

00:34:44.640 So fundamentally, this is already a different thing. There's no question about that. And by the way, I've not said at all that people shouldn't be allowed to debate because this is the United States of America.

00:34:56.140 And in the United States of America, if you're going to if you have freedom of speech, you should be able to exercise that freedom of speech.

00:35:03.220 When you have a war, when you have invasions, when you have questions about invasions, that is the kind of thing that's always going to be controversial and should be debated the most.

00:35:13.920 There's no question. And, you know, that's one thing.

00:35:17.180 And I'll throw it to you, Evita, that we have actually seen some people calling for shutting down the debate.

00:35:22.440 And I think that's a problem, isn't it?

00:35:24.300 No, I mean, we certainly shouldn't be shutting down debate.

00:35:27.420 I mean, I think from a young person's POV, you talk about the memory of 9-11, how that

00:35:33.300 impacted Iraq and Afghanistan and forever wars in the Middle East, the perception of

00:35:37.960 them.

00:35:38.580 The Gen Z perspective is radically different. 0.60

00:35:41.080 I mean, I was one year old when 9-11 happened.

00:35:43.980 I don't remember that.

00:35:44.820 What I remember is being at war for my entire childhood.

00:35:47.780 And I remember going off to college and then afterwards and realizing, oh, this is not

00:35:53.420 the America of my parents and grandparents. Now, reckless spending is reckless spending. And that's

00:35:58.300 not just about wars, but certainly forever wars in the Middle East contributed to that. But again,

00:36:03.300 Jack, I think you're right to point out it's been two weeks. It hasn't been 20 years. If we're

00:36:08.140 going to call this a forever war, I'd be over 40 years old right now. I'm not. So let everybody

00:36:12.860 just chill out for a second. And I think I'd like to see, especially from some of the conservatives

00:36:17.580 in the room with all the name calling and the shutting down the debate, you're not MAGA. Instead,

00:36:22.820 what I'd like to see is some focusing on the midterms. I mean, Charlie Kirk, before he died,

00:36:27.620 his entire goal, right, was mobilizing people. I saw a tweet from TP Action yesterday. They're

00:36:32.860 registering people to vote. They are door knocking. They are doing the work on the ground.

00:36:37.420 Meanwhile, you have the podcast wars. And I think people engaging in a lot of just vitriol for

00:36:42.900 clicks and not even necessarily debate. But again, people saying you're not MAGA. And it's just so

00:36:47.740 unhelpful and silly at a time like this when we need to be coalescing together ahead of the 0.88

00:36:53.720 midterms. I appreciate you saying that, Evita, because there's been a lot of calls for me to 0.74

00:37:00.180 engage in the podcast wars. And what side are you on, Posobiec? And do you support this podcaster

00:37:07.820 or this podcaster? Are you in this camp? Are you in that camp? And I always just kind of say,

00:37:12.580 you know i support charlie i support turning point you know i support america i support trump

00:37:18.100 like all the things i've always supported that i i just want to win and keep the coalition together

00:37:24.100 at all costs i'm not trying to play these games uh we've got to put a pin in that

00:37:29.860 and we have a quick break we'll be right back at human events daily

00:37:32.740 call this the jack pasobiec appreciation hour i can say confidently i believe i think josh

00:37:42.380 shapiro would be the vice presidential nominee if it wasn't for jack pasobiec and that that is

00:37:46.220 i'll be honest

00:37:47.820 all right folks we're back jack pasobiec human events daily ladies and gentlemen if you're a

00:37:58.440 homeowner in America, you need to listen to this. The FBI has been warning about a type of real

00:38:03.860 estate fraud on the rise called title theft, and your equity is the target. Here's how it works.

00:38:09.740 Criminals forge your signature on a single document, use a fake notary stamp, and they file

00:38:14.320 it with the county. And just like that, on record, they own your home. Using your ownership, they can 0.82

00:38:20.220 take out loans against your equity or even sell your property, and you won't know about it until

00:38:25.120 foreclosure or collection notices show up in the mail. That's why I partnered with Home Title Lock

00:38:30.640 so you could protect that equity and find out today if you're already a victim. Use promo code

00:38:36.940 POSO at hometitlelock.com. Guess what? You'll get a free title history report and a free trial of

00:38:42.440 their million-dollar triple lock protection. That's 24-7 monitoring of your title records,

00:38:47.040 urgent alerts to any changes, and if fraud does occur, their U.S.-based restoration team will

00:38:51.480 spend up to $1 million to fix it. Don't be a victim. Protect your equity today. That's

00:38:57.620 HometitleLock.com promo code POSO. HometitleLock.com promo code POSO. I want to bring Evita Duffy

00:39:04.640 back on here today because, Evita, you're just absolutely sending it. There's been so many

00:39:09.880 people who, no, it's true, as the kids say, that they want to get into this bickering and this

00:39:17.740 back and forth. And he said, she said. And, you know, there there's just certain things that we

00:39:25.000 need to focus on right now. We're going into this election. By the way, the Charlie Kirk murder

00:39:31.560 trial is going to be starting in just a couple of weeks here. And so when I talk or, you know,

00:39:38.240 unless it gets pushed back, which is a possibility as well. But, you know, I tend to try to focus

00:39:42.740 on the big things without getting into the personality struggles. And there have been times

00:39:50.040 in the past couple of weeks where certain personalities have tried to make it personally

00:39:55.000 about me, and I don't respond. I either don't respond or I will if it's a, well, there was a

00:40:01.660 certain U.S. senator last week who decided he wanted to do that, and I did respond to him.

00:40:07.640 but it's really something that I feel, to your point, it just detracts and distracts from the

00:40:13.740 actual goal. There's no meaningful conversation being had. And Jack, you and I are both part of

00:40:19.320 new media. I love new media. It's great. The corporate media, the propaganda press had been

00:40:24.780 doing a terrible job for decades, lying to the American people. The flip side of that is that

00:40:30.100 new media is full of a lot of personalities who are very self-absorbed, who are cult of

00:40:35.440 personalities, if we're being honest, and everything is about them. And everything is

00:40:39.300 about getting other people to be absorbed into their drama in order to promote themselves.

00:40:45.220 That's really what it's all about. It's deeply selfish and it's unproductive. And especially

00:40:50.520 when they're ostensibly our sides or our voices, it doesn't do anything to help the movement. In

00:40:55.820 fact, it actually creates division. I mean, we're acting like losers right now. This is what's so

00:41:00.200 obnoxious to me, Jack. 2024 was incredible. I mean, Trump won the popular vote. He won Gen Z men.

00:41:05.920 He did better with Gen Z women than he did in 2020. I mean, actually, the numbers for Gen Z

00:41:10.720 women were incredible, even if he didn't win them, just because Gen Z women never, young women never

00:41:15.280 vote for Republicans. But he did really well with them. And all of a sudden, we are acting like

00:41:20.360 losers right now. We are acting like losers with these stupid podcast wars and all of the back and 1.00

00:41:26.080 forth. He's not MAGA. She's not MAGA. I'm so sick of it. It's completely unproductive. 1.00

00:41:31.700 No, that's exactly right. And at the end of the day, I said this yesterday and it was kind of,

00:41:37.080 I don't know, it was kind of making the rounds because they clipped it. And I said, if, if there

00:41:41.580 is, you know, a sort of, cause you know, the president brought it up about, you know, MAGA

00:41:44.700 means you support Donald Trump. And, and I think that's fair. He certainly earned that. There's no

00:41:49.400 question, but there are, you know, and if you need a name for it, there is sort of this America first

00:41:54.940 group, which is is people who support the various policies of 2016, 2020, 2024, but perhaps would be

00:42:05.960 willing to do so without the president. So they're more, you know, more focus on immigration,

00:42:10.620 more focus on trade, you know, no focus at all on foreign policy. And so that if I see a split,

00:42:17.900 that's where I see the split, because and I was on Sky News the other day and they asked me about

00:42:21.720 this. They said, is, is MAGA splitting from Trump? And I said, no, I don't see MAGA splitting from

00:42:25.740 Trump at all. That you look at poll after poll and people who identify as MAGA do by and large

00:42:31.740 stick with the president. It's like 80, I think it was 94%, something like that. 94% are still

00:42:37.780 with the president. So, you know, that being said though, what you're pointing out is that there's

00:42:42.880 a larger coalition that can get you beyond MAGA Republicans. It can get you into independence.

00:42:49.400 It can get you into perhaps former Democrats. It can get you into all sorts of things that take

00:42:56.460 you from, you know, 45 percent of the country into 55 percent, into 60 percent. And that's

00:43:04.640 what the goal is about. Yeah, I mean, that's what you need to win. I mean, that's what Charlie

00:43:08.400 Kirk's whole goal was. You know, Jack, I mean, something that I feel like has been really missing

00:43:11.780 from this conversation about war with Iran, and this goes beyond President Trump. And I think that

00:43:16.220 there's certainly an opportunity for us to midnight hammer what's happening in Iran right now and just 0.95

00:43:20.660 say, all right, we're in the victory. We're out. And that's been like Trump's whole MO. He's done 0.67

00:43:25.920 that for a long time. I don't think we have any reason to believe that this is going to be a 20

00:43:29.180 year conflict based off of who President Trump is and his track record. But if this does become a

00:43:34.320 20 year conflict, and again, that wouldn't even be President Trump's fault, it would certainly

00:43:38.080 outlive him. The problem that I see, one of the biggest problems is mass immigration and how

00:43:43.580 conflicts across the globe have destabilized Western countries via all these refugees, 1.00

00:43:49.500 people asking for asylum. There hasn't been a lot of conversation about that, frankly, among

00:43:53.660 serious people in our movement. And it's actually one of the biggest ones that I see. And again,

00:43:58.760 this wouldn't be a President Trump problem. This would be the preceding presidents. This is why

00:44:03.620 deportations are so essential. This is why passing the SAVE Act is so necessary right now. This is 1.00

00:44:09.000 why Congress has to get it into gear right now and protect our country, insulate it from another

00:44:14.340 Joe Biden who will gladly let in millions of people or a bad Republican. And by the way,

00:44:18.740 there's been a lot of bad Republicans in the past. The track record for Democrat and Republican

00:44:23.080 presidents has been mass immigration, amnesty, you name it. That's what they've stood for.

00:44:28.520 And so I'm worried about what happens post-Trump. That conversation isn't even being had.

00:44:33.920 Well, there's a lot of questions, and this is certainly why. And I threw that up,

00:44:37.220 You know, I threw a tweet up yesterday about that, talking about, you know, who supported J.D. Vance back at not in terms of, you know, right now, but in terms of putting him on the ticket for 2024, because I remember Charlie Kirk was there.

00:44:51.560 I remember that's where Charlie was 100 percent.

00:44:54.540 And he spent so much time on that.

00:44:56.820 He spent so much energy on that.

00:44:58.340 And there are a lot of people who fought tooth and nail regarding that pick.

00:45:02.300 And where do we go 2026, 2028, potentially beyond 2032?

00:45:08.740 That is all going to matter.

00:45:11.080 And I think, quite frankly, Evita, that it's all of those questions that are causing a lot of the fights that you see right now, because there are people who are jockeying for position.

00:45:21.760 And I'll simply put it this way, that the 2028 primary isn't starting sometime in the future.

00:45:27.880 It's already begun.

00:45:29.800 Yeah, well, I couldn't agree with that.

00:45:32.300 more. And I think, you know, it's interesting that Charlie made his stance clear right away.

00:45:36.420 And then Erica Kirk, you know, echoed it on the stage at Turning Point, endorsing J.D. Vance

00:45:42.580 right away. But certainly there are a lot of people who are in the mix for potentially running

00:45:48.320 for office and becoming president. And the future of the party depends on that. That's why, Jack,

00:45:52.180 when you're like, let's not shut down the debate, I couldn't agree more, because the future of who

00:45:56.560 we are as a movement is really just about to be solidified or defined, I think, in this post-Trump

00:46:02.820 era. And so instead of, you know, focusing on these cult of personalities and the podcast wars,

00:46:08.180 serious conversations about who we are as a movement need to be happening.

00:46:14.800 It's what it's all about. This is about agency. It's about men standing up and being leaders

00:46:21.540 again and men and women joining together and starting families for our country as you guys

00:46:27.520 are doing by the way congrats again on that and i hope everything is going well but it's it's it's
