the trial of Steve Bannon set to commence this week. I'm pulling double duty, but we're going
00:00:06.700
to make sure that we get everything in. Also, later this week, I will see you down Tampa,
00:00:12.420
Florida, where we've got Turning Points Student Action Summit, Turning Point SAS. Everything
00:00:17.440
commences this Friday with Governor Ron DeSantis. And then Saturday, President Donald J. Trump will
00:00:24.220
be coming down. If you wish to secure your tickets, I think there may be a couple of seats
00:00:28.860
left in the far, far back. Or maybe, you know, maybe we'll hook you up. If you use, by the way,

Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily,
00:00:43.680
powered by Turning Point USA. Today is July 18, 2022. Anno Domini. Today's headlines. Today,
00:00:50.720
the trial of Steve Bannon begins for defying the January 6th committee. Next, new report is out.
00:00:57.040
Nearly 400 local, state, and federal officers waited outside the Evaldi School as gunmen targeted
00:01:06.460
children. Third, Dr. Deborah Birx's book is out now. Thank goodness. Love her book so much.
00:01:11.740
She is admitted to hiding data when recommending COVID-19 lockdown strategies to President Trump.
00:01:17.600
And finally, BLM is slammed for protesting cops in Minneapolis for shooting a man who opened fire
00:01:24.280
into a woman's home with her children. All this and more ahead, Human Events Daily.
00:01:28.060
We will govern for a hundred years. His vision is almost messianic.
00:01:43.260
Bannon sees himself as the narrator in a grand conspiracy of his own devising.
00:01:49.840
In rare interviews, CNN investigates the man and his master plan.
00:01:54.760
It looks like you have no proofs. We've looked at all the facts.
00:01:57.360
What did Bannon bring to you? Bannon was calling the plays. He seems to have no limits.
00:02:02.800
CNN Special Report. Steve Bannon. Divided, we fall. Sunday at 8.
00:02:08.120
The trial of Steve Bannon. It begins today. Political show trials have arrived in the United States.
00:02:15.980
We've seen many of them already. If you go back and look at Flynn, if you go back and look at what
00:02:20.920
they did to Papadopoulos, we know. We know that political show trials have already begun.
00:02:25.900
And in many cases, right, the fact that we're seeing some of these nonviolent offenders from January 6th
00:02:33.780
get sent to jail or be held in pretrial detention when their only offense was trespassing or parading.
00:02:41.420
A 69-year-old woman, 69-year-old woman from Idaho with cancer has just been sentenced to two months
00:02:50.200
in a federal penitentiary for parading inside the Capitol.
00:02:57.360
And so it's pretty simple to me, right? Understand what point in the movie you're in.
00:03:01.700
We talk about this every day here. But the trial of Steve Bannon is something different
00:03:05.720
because this represents the highest level political official, and he was the chief strategist
00:03:11.660
of the White House, the highest level of someone within the Trump administration who has now been
00:03:17.080
prosecuted by not only the Department of Justice, but in this case, the Biden-controlled Department
00:03:23.300
of Justice. And I think there isn't a single person out there, by the way, on either side,
00:03:28.620
on either side, who doesn't think that this person, that this man, Steve Bannon, would not
00:03:34.620
be there if his name were anything else, right? If his name wasn't Steve Bannon, he wouldn't be on
00:03:40.160
trial today, right? They would have brought him back. They would be working this out. They'd be
00:03:44.160
negotiating. But no, this is being done for political points. This is a show trial that they want the rest
00:03:52.620
of the country to see. The regime wants you to know. We will take your key players. We'll take
00:04:00.680
your key strategists. We'll take your highest officials. We'll take your generals, and we'll
00:04:05.460
put them on trial. Show me the man, show you the crime. That's what Beria said in the Soviet Union.
00:04:12.420
Show me the man and show you the crime. They can always find something. And in this case,
00:04:17.120
when Steve Bannon came up and said, look, you guys are giving me the subpoena. I know what the
00:04:23.120
Gen 6 Committee wants. You want my records of conversations with President Trump. But the
00:04:28.800
problem is, President Trump is the head of the executive branch. You're the legislative branch.
00:04:34.460
So there's a constitutional issue there. It's called executive privilege. Now, the Supreme Court has
00:04:39.640
never ruled before whether or not, because I actually went back and looked this up, and I did this crazy
00:04:45.200
thing. And I know it's amazing to me, right? But it's called reading case law, reading the record,
00:04:52.620
going back and looking at this. Executive privilege in the past has been ruled for current employees
00:04:59.160
of the executive branch. However, comma, executive privilege has never been ruled on or never decided
00:05:05.200
on when it comes to outside advisors. And of course, Steve was not the advisor of the president
00:05:10.640
working for him on January 6th or in the lead up to January 6th. So what does this mean? What does
00:05:15.840
this mean for us? So it means that this trial is all going down according to precedent. And the DC
00:05:22.500
judge has decided, he's decided that's not an effective argument, because you were not a federal
00:05:27.800
government employee when these conversations took place. And therefore, you can be put on trial
00:05:32.260
because executive privilege doesn't count. But a lot of people are looking at that and saying,
00:05:36.720
why wouldn't it count? Because President Trump was still the president. Alan Dershowitz was on war
00:05:42.760
room last week and said, obviously, executive privilege would come into play and would be a
00:05:48.320
valid argument here. Right. And so I'll be pulling double duty today, possibly some other days this week
00:05:53.560
while this trial goes on. I want to also let you know that over at Post Millennial, on the Post
00:05:58.920
Millennial side, we are instituting a limited series, an exclusive series podcast, The Trial of Steve
00:06:04.940
Bannon daily recaps. So we're going to be doing our daily recaps here. That one, it's only going to
00:06:09.660
be about the trial, right? Similar format to Human Events Daily. And we've got the great Viva Fry is
00:06:15.980
going to be hosting it every single day. So look for that on the Post Millennial. Of course, right here,
00:06:21.180
we're going to be covering everything Human Events Daily, but we've also got the other news analysis,
00:06:26.020
everything else that's going on this week. And then myself pulling double duty, taping the show here,
00:06:31.500
then running down to the townhouse and filling in on war room. Not that anyone could fill those shoes,
00:06:37.760
but we will see what we can do as the trial continues. The Trial of Steve Bannon.
00:06:44.600
A mass shooting in Indianapolis at a shopping mall was just stopped by a good guy with a gun.
00:06:52.280
We don't know when these situations will arise, but that's the point of being a concealed carry
00:06:59.740

00:08:09.560
Thank you. I'm going to start with this. I'm going to ask my colleagues if they want to comment
00:08:15.000
as well. Multiple systemic failures. Our report does not look at other comments that have been
00:08:20.900
made to try to compare or contrast them whatsoever. We laid out the basic facts as we were charged with
00:08:26.520
to do. And what I said early on about law enforcement, the officers who knew or should
00:08:32.540
have known that this was an active shooter situation by their training experience should
00:08:38.220
have done more. Those facts will allow those agencies to take a deeper dive into the actions
00:08:44.900
of law enforcement and hold them accountable. The report says if you're not willing to put the
00:08:52.600
lives of the people you serve, of those children before you are owned, in my view, you should find
00:08:58.680
another job. Well, the Evaldi report is out and it's every bit as horrific as we all thought it was,
00:09:06.280
but it's actually worse. It's actually worse because now for the first time, we've gotten
00:09:12.700
the number of officers that responded to Evaldi. And I think it's hard for a lot of people to
00:09:20.720
actually comprehend this level of dysfunction and mismanagement in our government at the state,
00:09:27.500
local, and federal levels. But I've talked about this before. You need to embrace the suck.
00:09:33.480
So here's what happened. You had nearly 400 officers and agents of the federal government
00:09:40.300
convene on this school. 376 officers and agents. 77 minutes. One 18-year-old kid, 18-year-old boy,
00:09:56.220
who, by the way, the report also tells us spent somewhere near $5,000 on equipment just in terms
00:10:05.640
of guns, the rifles, and ammunition for this shooting, right? He was able to hold off 376
00:10:14.760
by firing a couple rounds down the hallway and then putting them into absolute vapor lock.
00:10:20.800
This is what happens when you have a lack of leadership in our country, a lack of leadership
00:10:27.280
among law enforcement, and a lack of leadership and human agency, right? They didn't know who was in
00:10:34.820
charge. Nobody took charge. And everybody wanted, right? Everybody wanted to be careful. They were
00:10:41.240
waiting for instructions. They were waiting for orders. You should have known better. All of you should
00:10:46.840
have known better. How many children died on the way to the hospital? How many children bled out in
00:10:53.100
that room while you waited, while you sat, looked at your phones, as Charlie Kirk calls them, your
00:11:00.760
digital pacifiers, sitting there doing nothing. But there's another piece of the report that I really,
00:11:07.920
really want to hammer down on because I don't think a lot of people have pointed this out.
00:11:11.720
That school, Uvalde, that's a border town, right? Uvalde is a border town. And where is it? It's
00:11:18.080
located directly on the intersection of two highways, one coming from Del Rio, Texas, and the
00:11:23.400
other coming from Eagle Pass. Del Rio and Eagle Pass. This is one of the heaviest human trafficking
00:11:29.600
corridors in our entire country across the southern border. And what else do you have that's going on
00:11:35.440
there? These bailouts. What's a bailout? And they said, well, we had a problem recently because
00:11:40.440
there's been so many bailout security alerts. What are bailout security alerts, you ask?
00:11:46.600
That means when the human traffickers and smugglers are coming across the border, they get caught.
00:11:53.040
They're being chased by police. They then crash their car and all the illegals in the car get out and run
00:12:00.020
away, sometimes armed. Sometimes it cuts through the parking lot of a school. And we say, well, how many
00:12:05.960
times has this happened? Between February 22 and the end of May 22, this year, the school was on lockdown
00:12:14.300
47 times because of human traffickers being chased by the police and violent police chases cutting across
00:12:24.900
areas adjacent to nearby or on the campus of this school. So it became a situation that when the security
00:12:32.560
alert went out because it was a shooter, all the police thought that it was another one of these
00:12:37.860
human trafficking situations. And this is just one border town. I want to say that again, just to
00:12:45.640
really make sure that I hammer this point home. I'm not going to hit the table. Okay, I will.
00:12:51.580
47 lockdowns at this school in a four month period prior to the shooting, including the day before
00:12:59.160
because of human traffickers coming across the human trafficking corridor along which this school
00:13:08.040
sits. This is only one border town. What are we doing to our children in this country?
00:13:15.920
When the government told us that the vaccine, it couldn't transmit it. Was that a lie or was that a
00:13:20.280
guess or is it the same answer? I think it was hope that the vaccine would work in that way. And that's why
00:13:28.080
I think scientists and public health leaders always have to be at the table, being very clear what we
00:13:34.320
know and what we don't know. This is important for the country to know. So when I asked the question,
00:13:38.180
when the government told us that the vaccinated couldn't get it, and I asked you if it was a guess
00:13:42.960
or a lie, you said you don't know. You said you think it was hope. So what we do know is it wasn't
00:13:47.980
the truth. So they were either guessing, lying, or hoping and communicating that information to the
00:13:54.260
to the citizens of this country. So Deborah Birx is out with her new book. And I'm not sure if this is
00:13:59.240
a confession or a manifesto. Maybe it's a confession festo or something. But and we got the story of a
00:14:05.220
postmillennial.com. The great Libby Evans wrote it. And you read some of these quotes. I couldn't do
00:14:10.420
anything that would reveal my true intention, she writes, to use the travel ban as one brick in the
00:14:18.040
construction of a larger wall of protective measures. We needed to enact very soon. See,
00:14:24.140
I called for a travel ban right away. You can go back and find my tweet 15 January or 20 January there
00:14:30.060
there. So in 2020, I said, add China to the travel ban, just go ahead and add China to the travel ban,
00:14:35.600
right? Leave them there as far as I'm concerned. But then it goes on where she says she admits.
00:14:41.260
Dr. Deborah Birx said that she was hiding data, obfuscating data and lying about data when presenting
00:14:52.160
it to President Trump and other members of the team, because she wanted the lockdown policies in
00:14:58.560
place as soon as possible. She also writes that she knew that governors would take up her lead and go
00:15:05.420
for the lockdowns if she if she framed it in the sense of guidance. And that's something
00:15:11.000
that here in Human Events Daily, we've hammered this point home from day one. We know what you're
00:15:17.840
saying when you call it the guidance. We know it just sounds better, right? It tests better with
00:15:24.080
the, you know, the focus groups. When you say guidance, rather than saying something like,
00:15:28.640
you know, federal directive, government mandate, government order, they're all the exact same
00:15:33.600
thing. And then when the governors, the imperial governors get their orders down from the imperial
00:15:38.980
capital, right? They can turn around and say, oh, well, we're just following orders, right? We're
00:15:43.400
just following we're just following the guidance. We're just following the guidance, right? This is
00:15:47.720
what leads you to a situation that our founding fathers never wanted, where you could actually have
00:15:53.160
a federal bureaucrat like Dr. Birx instituting lockdowns, a federal bureaucrat like Dr. Fauci instituting
00:16:01.500
masks in your school. When the school board votes against it, when the governor of the state votes
00:16:08.800
against it, the power of the imperial capital to overrule those closest to the actual situation on
00:16:17.240
the ground, because the people who are actually closest to the situation on the ground are the
00:16:21.660
ones who understand best how to deal with their area. The United States is a large and diverse
00:16:28.560
country. This is true. What do I mean by that? The city of New York and the policies that they
00:16:33.940
wanted to enact, the mitigation policies are not the same as they as you would have in a state of
00:16:38.760
Kentucky or the Dakotas or Montana, right? Los Angeles is going to have different policies. Again,
00:16:45.180
these are all different areas. You've got different makeups. You've got different demographics.
00:16:49.800
You've got different age ranges in some of these areas. Florida, for example, obviously has our
00:16:54.440
highest percentage of seniors. And then look how Florida went with all of this. But none of that
00:16:59.860
occurs to Dr. Birx. There's also nothing in her book, by the way, where she says that she ever
00:17:05.540
questioned the efficacy of lockdowns. She basically just says, well, China is doing it and therefore it
00:17:12.380
must work. So we're going to go ahead and continue to do lockdowns. We're just going to use different
00:17:16.900
names. We're going to call it other things. By the way, she also points out in this book that she
00:17:20.900
straight up, straight up lied about two weeks to stop the spread because in the book, right? She
00:17:27.680
says the two weeks bought us time to extend the mitigation strategies or to come up with a way
00:17:34.740
to extend the mitigation strategies. So you knew from the start, you knew from the start that it
00:17:40.260
wasn't going to be just two weeks because a lot of people were on board with two weeks. They said,
00:17:44.220
fine, you want two weeks, we'll give you the two weeks. Never again, never again.
00:17:48.660
They took the two weeks and they stretched it into almost, we're going on what, two years now,
00:17:54.580
over two years, vaccinating children. The only country in the world, the only country in the
00:17:59.760
world that is vaccinating little kids. And now the studies are coming out talking about women,
00:18:04.080
40% of women having menstruation issues because of this. No, no. We're the only country in the world
00:18:10.920
that is pushing this stuff. We know that there's a financial incentive here for it. Why isn't the EU
00:18:16.400
doing it? Asia is not even doing this. So Dr. Birx, I would say that your investigation
00:18:22.800
should be the one that comes up right after Hunter Biden in the new Congress.
00:18:27.440
This is not okay. This is not a George Floyd situation. George Floyd was unarmed. My kid's in the car.
00:18:47.200
My kid's in the car. My black kid is in the car. He tried to kill me in front of my kids. He tried to
00:18:55.800
kill me in front of my kids. So what you've just heard is the mother of two young children,
00:19:03.260
both under the age of five. And there was an assailant who was inside their apartment complex
00:19:11.160
in the city of Minneapolis, who was firing his gun into her apartment where she lived
00:19:22.760
That assailant was later taken out by Minneapolis police.
00:19:28.160
Following all of this, the local activists, BLM and others came together and they've raised tens of
00:19:35.780
thousands of dollars for this individual, Teckel Sundberg, because they feel that his death
00:19:44.160
right at the hands of police was not justified. Yet all of a sudden, for one of the first times ever,
00:19:51.660
a victim, an actual victim of one of these criminals comes forward and says, what are you doing?
00:20:00.020
How do you justify your actions? And this never happens, by the way, right? And they're doing the
00:20:07.480
whole nine yards. They've got the same lawyer from Ferguson and Floyd and all that. It's always the
00:20:11.460
same guy, this Ben Crump guy, right? This is a business model for him, right? It's a business
00:20:16.380
model. You stir up unrest, then you get a settlement from the city. You might not even have to file a
00:20:22.060
lawsuit, right? It's nice work if you can get it, right? But that's what Crump does. I feel like this
00:20:27.260
guy's got a teleportation machine somewhere, right? Where he just hears one of these things happens
00:20:31.060
and then he's just there. He's just suddenly there, right? He's always just names all over it,
00:20:35.480
right? And he's just getting money from the city. That's more money, by the way, that the city can't
00:20:40.240
put to city services, that the city can't put to their police force, keeping the city safe and,
00:20:46.140
you know, any of that, you know, normal basic stuff that people used to care about. No, no,
00:20:50.360
that money is just there for settlements for Ben Crump, right? But in our society that we've decided
00:20:57.080
to turn over to the criminals in our society where the violence in cities is completely insane and
00:21:04.020
it's getting worse, right? It's getting so much worse. Here we have a situation where one of the
00:21:11.400
victims, because they lived in the same apartment complex, mind you, so she lives in the same place
00:21:17.100
where this all went down, right? And they said the police were negotiating with him and that
00:21:21.640
eventually snipers saw a reason that they needed to take the shot, they took the shot. Ended the
00:21:26.620
threat. Protected this woman and her children, right? There was a Good Samaritan at a mall just
00:21:33.780
outside Indianapolis yesterday where a mass shooting had started. Good Samaritan, 22-year-old kid
00:21:39.900
was armed, concealed carry, ended the threat. And I saw some people writing, they said,
00:21:47.400
how can you support something like this? Aren't you supposed to read the Bible and be pro-life?
00:21:53.120
They said, doesn't the Bible say you're supposed to be pro-life? How can you support the killing of
00:21:57.480
somebody, right? And I said, it's simple. Stopping a mass shooter is aggressively pro-life.
00:22:06.440
Protecting the lives of others, this is aggressively pro-life. Taking proactive action, or in this case,
00:22:13.860
actually reactive action, right? These types of actions are absolutely pro-life.
00:22:19.440
This is why we wear seatbelts. This is why we protect people. This is why we look both ways
00:22:24.100
while crossing the street. And at the same time, if you're in a state that's following federal
00:22:30.080
guidelines under the Supreme Court that allows concealed carry, you're carrying because you want
00:22:35.520
to protect yourself, you want to protect your family, and potentially, if you're in that situation,
00:22:41.040
And that's all the time we have today for Human Events Daily. Remember our promise,
00:22:46.280
our oath, our solemn vow to you, be good, be brief, be gone. Your homework for us. Leave us
00:22:49.700
one review and then share this out with one of your normally friends. And by the way,
00:22:53.260
these reviews, we've been looking at them. We love them. We love when you guys hit the five stars,
00:22:56.780
but we really, really love when you guys actually write something. Some of them
00:22:59.820
absolutely hilarious. We might start reading these. We might start reading these on air. I'm not sure.
00:23:04.280
I've been looking at them more. So if you leave us a comment on our review link, go down, swipe up
00:23:10.440
on your podcast, and then you leave the review. We might just read it online. So what did we talk
00:23:16.020
about today? Number one, of course, the trial of Steve Bannon for defying the January 6th committee
00:23:20.900
begins today. Next, nearly 400 local, state, and federal officers cowardly waited outside the
00:23:27.680
Uvalde school as a crazed gunman targeted children. Dr. Deborah Burtz admitting hiding data when
00:23:34.260
recommending COVID-19 lockdown strategies to President Trump. And finally, BLM slammed for
00:23:38.800
protesting Minneapolis cops for shooting a man who opened fire into her home. We know this is
00:23:45.400
shaping up to be an insane week. The trial of Bannon, the show trial, begins today. Jury selection.
00:23:52.040
Indications are, by the way, that doesn't look like it's going to be a long trial. So we'll see what
00:23:57.020
this means. But we also know what a DC jury is going to do. But the real question isn't so much the
00:24:02.620
trial itself. It's all about the appeals and it's all about going up to the Supreme Court. But
00:24:07.640
before we sign off today, it's time for today's history break. In this week, all the way back in
00:24:14.520
1936, the Spanish Civil War began. General Francisco Franco issued a manifesto and led an uprising in the
00:24:24.060
Spanish army stationed in Morocco. And a lot of people have looked at this situation and they say,
00:24:30.500
well, Franco must have been evil, right? But they don't talk about the fact that the people he was
00:24:36.160
fighting were also communists. It was communists versus nationalists in Spain all the way back in
00:24:43.940
1936. Ladies and gentlemen, as always, you have my permission to lay ashore.
