in the face of tragedy may we honor the memory and service of a patriot like shinzo abe who spent his
00:02:14.940
entire life in service of his country and i would like to extend my personal condolences and prayers
00:02:23.140
to the people of japan in this time so from a news perspective um obviously this is still a developing
00:02:31.100
story we have to understand what all happened here but we'll give you the facts as we know them
00:02:36.500
now president biden has released a statement this morning saying that he was stunned outraged and
00:02:42.160
deeply saddened by the news we know that he was pronounced dead very early this morning um supposedly
00:02:48.820
he was giving a speech so japan has their uh what's essentially their senate their senate elections
00:02:54.700
coming up in about three days and it comes up this weekend and shinzo abe even though he's been
00:03:00.900
he stepped down as prime minister about uh about a year and a half ago that or almost two years ago
00:03:06.740
that he uh was giving a speech in support of a particular candidate of his party and he was in the
00:03:14.640
parking lot of what looks to be some sort of factory or you know manufacturing center and
00:03:20.760
an assailant approached him from behind pulled out a homemade double barrel shotgun short barrel
00:03:29.700
fired several shots from behind this primitive you know zip gun almost musket-like kind of contraption
00:03:36.140
hit him behind in the left chest so hits him you know strikes him in the back but the pellets lodge
00:03:43.600
in the chest and he fell to the ground rushed to the hospital cardiac arrest and was unable to be
00:03:51.360
revived the assailant we don't know much about him yet 41 years old wearing a gray t-shirt tan pants
00:03:59.600
did not flee was immediately taken into custody and we're told that he admitted that he confessed
00:04:07.280
immediately to the assassination the gunman supposedly was a former maritime self-defense
00:04:12.940
force member now japan's maritime self-defense force that's what they call the japanese navy
00:04:18.000
however he was a member a long time ago for only a brief period he told police that he was in that
00:04:24.920
he intended to kill abe because he was frustrated with the former prime minister according to japan's
00:04:31.620
national public broadcaster nhk this is one of japan's highest profile acts of political violence
00:04:37.240
in a long time um people may remember that in 1960 the japanese leader of the socialist party
00:04:44.840
was assassinated in public by an assassin with a katana blade um in the 1930s japan saw a wave of
00:04:54.220
political assassinations um and so this is certainly something that japan is no stranger to
00:05:00.180
unfortunately it has happened in this case shinjo abe 67 dedicated his entire life to serving his
00:05:07.180
country um staunch patriot he was a conservative extremely anti-ccp um one of the most pro-freedom
00:05:15.900
and anti-communist defenders and patriots that you would find anywhere in asia uh he clearly saw
00:05:24.320
the crisis the looming crisis for what it was in terms of asia and he also made made headlines
00:05:33.580
because when he was prime minister one of the biggest things he did was revise japan's constitution
00:05:38.960
to allow for more of an offensive standpoint for the japanese maritime self-defense force so there's this
00:05:46.980
idea that that japan's constitution doesn't allow for their military to be used offensively right this
00:05:53.320
is sort of part of the end of the treaty world war ii and abe was one of the first politicians the first
00:06:01.680
leaders true leaders to revise that and put japan more on the offensive in in asia in in able to defend
00:06:11.180
his country against china and against the rise of the ccp and the people's liberation army and particularly
00:06:17.920
their navy and so when you see a situation like this someone a man who has was a steadfast supporter
00:06:24.320
by the way of taiwan always supported taiwan and even uh as we know of course had a very close
00:06:30.780
relationship with president trump so we're going to continue to follow this we're not sure exactly
00:06:35.880
what happened yet but folks remember you never know when your time is going to come so you have to
00:06:42.320
stay in prayer and you have to always be ready because your time will come as the book as the
00:06:47.000

that i think we've ever had in our entire lives now of course growing up tanya tay did not celebrate
00:07:05.280
the 4th of july because she grew up in the soviet union but now that she is here if you listen to the
00:07:09.600

00:09:19.360
million barrels for the strategic from the from the strategic petroleum reserve this is a wartime bridge
00:09:27.280
to increase oil supply until production ramps up later this year and it is by far the largest
00:09:33.760
release of our net our national reserve in our history it'll provide historic amount of supply
00:09:39.520
for a historic amount of time a six-month bridge to the fall and we'll use the revenue from selling
00:09:47.120
the oil now to restock the strategic petroleum reserve when prices are lower want a report from
00:09:52.780
the postmillennial.com revealed biden sold one million barrels our president one million barrels
00:10:03.100
of oil from u.s strategic reserves to a chinese company chinese gas company that hunter biden is
00:10:11.560
invested in in 2015 a private equity firm co-founded by hunter biden bought a stake in sinopec valued at
00:10:19.180
1.7 million dollars now this follows news on wednesday that millions of barrels of oil released
00:10:25.440
from america's strategic petroleum reserve were shipped overseas to china india and europe however
00:10:30.800
it's now been revealed that nearly 1 million barrels of our strategic national reserve of petroleum
00:10:40.280
were sent not only to china but to a ccp controlled company in which president biden's son
00:10:48.760
hunter biden had a stake in as recently as 2015 and we're not actually sure whether he still has a
00:10:55.620
stake in this because they've never been clean about it this is obviously something that needs
00:11:01.400
to be investigated this is and when it comes to we were talking yesterday about how boris johnson had
00:11:07.600
to resign because of scandals and i said i wasn't sure if americans even understood what a real scandal is
00:11:16.100
anymore because we've been getting so many fake scandals from the media pushed at president trump
00:11:23.220
right did he say americans should drink bleach did he uh say that did he dump the you know the food into
00:11:30.220
the koi pond when he was with prime minister abe a couple years ago and you know all of these ridiculous
00:11:35.120
things that we've forgotten what you know did he plan an insurrection that there's no actual evidence
00:11:41.440
of any of that yet here's a situation here's a situation where we've got a huge problem we've got a massive
00:11:52.360
problem on our hands the president of the united states is not supposed to tap into the strategic
00:12:00.160
petroleum reserve unless there's an actual emergency you go through history on this uh hurricanes when
00:12:07.420
the u.s is at war when we're in a national crisis but that's not what's going on here because the
00:12:13.900
problem is president biden's domestic energy policies have greatly raised the price of oil his domestic
00:12:24.060
policies have done that and now the crisis is for him and his political party and their ambitions
00:12:31.620
going to as americans go to the polls this november so the crisis has nothing to do with an actual
00:12:39.240
emergency it has to do with the biden administration and the fact that he wants his party to stay in power
00:12:46.300
in the polls that's the emergency those are the people who are suffering right now or who are about to
00:12:51.420
suffer in in november but he just took a strategic national resource our petroleum
00:12:58.720
which had been filled up president trump tried to refill it when gas prices were low congress blocked
00:13:05.940
him by the way democrat-controlled congress blocked them and yet we have a situation now where as
00:13:12.920
daniel turner the founder of power the future good friend of mine he stated these raw materials have
00:13:20.280
been sold to the chinese communist party for them to use as they want we were assured that president
00:13:25.540
biden was releasing this oil to america so it could be refined for gasoline to drive down prices at the
00:13:30.980
pump so right off the bat they are just lying to the american people what they're saying they did and
00:13:36.400
what they did are not remotely related there needs to be an inquiry into this there needs to be an
00:13:41.620
investigation i would even call for a special prosecutor this is something where we actually
00:13:49.140
need to potentially look at an impeachment of president biden for this situation there is a direct line
00:13:59.800
here financial ties to the ccp and lying to the american people huge scandal and as you're looking at
00:14:09.620
this situation put everything else aside and focus directly on what we already know they did
00:14:15.380
you tweet a lot i use my tweets to express myself some people use their hair i use twitter well but
00:14:25.820
you use your tweeting to to kind of get back at critics rarely you kind of have little wars with
00:14:32.020
the press twitter is a war zone if somebody's gonna jump in the war zone it's like okay you're in the
00:14:37.640
arena let's go elon musk his deal to buy twitter is in peril according to the washington post though
00:14:46.400
because it comes from the washington post we of course have to take this with a grain of salt
00:14:51.580
well here's what they've got they're saying that talks with investors have cooled in recent weeks
00:14:56.420
and musk's camp believes that it can't confirm twitter's claims about spam accounts and i just
00:15:02.800
want to look at this and say you know washington post you're acting like this is some kind of
00:15:08.380
scoop you're acting like this is some kind of huge reporting from the old reporting for the washington
00:15:14.440
post now today we've got it out now elon musk deal to buy twitter's in serious jeopardy stop
00:15:19.180
three people familiar with the matter say stop as must camp concluded the twitter's figures on spam
00:15:23.660
accounts are not verifiable stop must team has stopped engaging when certain discussions around
00:15:27.860
funding for the 44 million dollar bill including what the party name is likely back or one of the
00:15:32.860
people said stop the people spoke on condition of nimity because of the sensitivity of the ongoing
00:15:37.800
discussion stop and i'm like okay you know that would be amazing if we lived in a world where there
00:15:43.420
was this was an actual scoop from the from from washington post but if you had just listened
00:15:48.520
to human events daily for i don't know the past two months we have been telling you this again and
00:15:55.320
again and again elon musk doesn't like the data that's number one he said you lied about your user
00:16:02.980
numbers and then that's material fraud and number two he's saying that because you lied the stock price
00:16:10.340
is now going down and he's realizing that he's potentially overpaying for twitter but what's number
00:16:15.960
three on this and the washington post doesn't even i've looked through this thing is like 25 25 right
00:16:23.640
paragraphs long and you know what they don't mention they don't mention the fact that it is going to be
00:16:29.980
very hard for him to get out of this contract and that's what he said from day one you know why i did this
00:16:38.060
little it's a crazy little trick that i do this one little trick what was the little trick i actually
00:16:44.880
talked to people in the industry reached out to them people in tech people in wall street people
00:16:51.500
who understand mna lawyers and they told me they said jack look regardless of what you think about
00:16:57.620
elon regardless we think about twitter etc etc right he already signed the contract and the problem is
00:17:03.740
that because he signed the acquisition contract already that it's going to be very hard for him to use
00:17:12.240
this as a way to get out of it because they would have to be able to prove that twitter materially
00:17:19.460
lied to him that's different than twitter not having a good handle on its numbers right so the idea has to
00:17:27.860
be and it's very high bar right in u.s contract law to the point where i think somebody was telling me
00:17:33.420
that only one country company has ever gotten out of a contract like this before in in all of u.s history
00:17:40.220
right so the idea is that if he got this thing he signed for it he hasn't paid for it yet as we know
00:17:47.560
but he but he signed the contract you sign on the dotted line right used to say that in the military
00:17:53.120
you sign on the dotted line choose your rate choose your fate that's what we call mos is in the navy
00:17:58.160
choose your rate choose your fate and so the idea is that if elon thinks he's just going to walk away
00:18:03.720
from this it's going to be much harder now he's been putting public pressure on and obviously this
00:18:09.900
is something i think here's what i think is going on this is this is a strategic leak from elon's side
00:18:17.840
into the washington post the strategic leak from him because they're trying to put pressure on twitter
00:18:24.720
to drop the price because they know right they know that the stock price is going is falling lower and
00:18:31.780
lower and lower neither side wants to go into a you know a drawn out arbitration legal fees court
00:18:40.460
appearances i mean go look at the johnny depp amber heard thing right nobody wants to go through that
00:18:45.160
but twitter has the option of going to elon and saying you know what we have this contract we have
00:18:50.860
this thing here maybe we'll knock a few points off we'll shave a few points off that way you get to
00:18:56.520
save face but we also uphold the obligations of the contract i think that's what's going on here i
00:19:02.020
think this is a power play and because otherwise otherwise elon's on the foot for one billion dollars
00:19:10.320
in a breakup fee and potentially a lawsuit on his hands he don't want that we're gonna see how this plays
00:19:17.040
out do you have the numbers to show that it's the concealed carry permit holders that are committing
00:19:25.940
crimes because the lawful gun owner will say that you're attacking the wrong person it's really
00:19:32.260
people that are getting these guns illegally that are causing the violence not the people going and
00:19:37.280
getting the permit legally and that's the basis for the whole supreme court argument do you have the
00:19:43.780
numbers i don't need to have numbers i don't need i don't have to have a data point to point to to say
00:19:50.300
that this is going to make all i know is i have a responsibility to the people of the state
00:19:53.960
to have sensible gun safety laws we need to talk about bodegas so you remember bodega bro right we
00:20:02.240
were talking about bodega bro um the who was the the the football player who had just moved to
00:20:09.660
new york city and he got canceled from his job because he said that he didn't like bodegas he said
00:20:16.220
these aren't real supermarkets he got canceled for that for some reason said nothing wrong now a 51
00:20:23.380
year old bodega clerk convenience store clerk jose alba has been arrested and charged with murder
00:20:31.700
in the city of new york for the crime of defending himself defending himself while a crazed maniac
00:20:40.980
jumped over the counter started pushing him attacking him grabbing him around the neck grabbing him
00:20:50.820
around the waist a 37 year old assailant 51 year old deli clerk old guy well he picked up a knife
00:20:58.480
and he defended himself and the attacker was killed as the clerk defended himself yet jose alba
00:21:07.800
has now been charged with murder in the city of new york that's who the d the da is against
00:21:16.340
aoc came out and and she is you know her beloved bodegas where she goes for her iced coffees
00:21:22.420
she's listening to oya como va right from speaker backpack she tweeted about this
00:21:28.540
but she's nowhere to be found for jose alba even the mayor of new york eric adams has come out and
00:21:36.120
said look this is self-defense what are you doing it's very simple what the da new york is doing
00:21:43.340
da bragg what he's doing is the same thing that you saw in the run-up to the bolshevik revolution
00:21:50.640
in russia in the 1910s in the interwar period well i guess the end of the of the first world war
00:21:57.240
what were they doing they were letting violent criminals out of jail and then criminalizing people
00:22:04.080
who defend themselves if you can turn self-defense itself into a crime then you can criminalize and
00:22:14.000
terrorize your entire we already saw this with kyle rittenhouse kyle rittenhouse had 10 different
00:22:20.980
angles of video proving that he acted in self-defense including one angle of video
00:22:26.740
that was exclusively first released by me by human events daily from an fbi surveillance flight that
00:22:37.080
was up that night that they tried to scrub the records of the agent refused to even participate
00:22:43.460
publicly in the event they scrub they scrubbed the court record the fact that an fbi agent testified
00:22:49.860
at the kyle rittenhouse trial even though it was off camera the fbi had that flight up and yet they
00:22:57.140
tried to prevent people from you they provided prevent kyle rittenhouse from using that video to
00:23:03.400
exonerate himself because they knew what it showed they it showed a young boy operating to save his life
00:23:12.840
the same way that this video and there is video of this of jose alba working to save his life they are
00:23:18.980
trying to criminalize self-defense to destabilize our entire society
00:23:23.700
