Human Events Daily with Jack Posobiec - JUL 18, 2022 - TRIAL OF STEVE BANNON BEGINS TODAY

00:00:00.000 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,

00:00:33.740 promo code POSO, we'll hook you up. Go to tpusa.com slash sass. Link in the description.

00:00:40.060 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 holder of your firearm. And if you're going to be a concealed carry holder, you need to practice and

00:07:05.300 you need to be proficient with your firearm. So how do you do that? How do you be prepared?

00:08:05.600 iTargetPro.com, promo code POSO. Link is in the description, guys, and make sure it's there.

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 0.98

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 1.00

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, 0.80

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 0.88

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 0.64

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, 0.98

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

00:19:18.140 with her two young children.

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 0.99

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,

00:22:40.180 protect the lives of others.

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.
