Human Events Daily with Jack Posobiec - JUN 21, 2022 - UVALDE HIRES PRIVATE LAW FIRM TO BLOCK FOOTAGE AND AUDIO FROM SCHOOL SHOOTING

00:00:00.000 It has come to my attention that some of you have yet to secure your tickets for the Student

00:00:09.140 Action Summit down in Tampa. I know, I know, for those of us who do the right thing, who put our

00:00:15.120 best foot forward, we've made sure to already secure our access, secure our flights, secure our

00:00:20.260 hotels, going down Tampa, Florida. Everybody who's anybody is going to be there. Families are going,

00:00:27.640 people are bringing their parents. They're all headed down. They're saying, we're going to Tampa.

00:00:31.200 We're going to see President Trump. We're going to see Governor DeSantis. We're going to see Jack.

00:00:35.800 We're going to see Charlie. We're going to see Benny. We're going to see Kaylee, Greg Gutfeld,

00:00:40.500 Jesse Waters, all the greats that are going to be there. And it's the best part of it. And everyone's

00:00:45.780 talking about this ever. The word on the streets is just, it's lighting up the streets where they're

00:00:51.060 saying, you know what? If you use promo code POSO, all caps, P-O-S-O, you get 25% off. The link's in

00:00:58.140 the description, folks. tpusa.com slash sass. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition

00:01:05.380 of Human Events Daily, powered by Turning Point USA. Today's June 21st, 2022, Aneno Domine. Today's

00:01:12.020 headlines, Uvaldi has hired a private law firm to block footage and audio coming out from the school

00:01:19.660 shooting. We're going to talk about that next. Another school murder, a 911 call released in the

00:01:25.440 murder of Ohio teen Ethan Liming at LeBron James' school. Third, crime tourism. We mentioned this

00:01:32.080 yesterday. We're going to dig into it more today. Crime tourism soaring across California. And then

00:01:37.220 finally, Russia threatening retaliation if Lithuania blocks the Suvalki Gap. We'll explain all that more

00:01:44.040 ahead, Human Events Daily. There's compelling evidence that the law enforcement response to

00:01:59.420 the attack at Robb Elementary was an abject failure and antithetical to everything we've learned over

00:02:05.620 the last two decades since the Columbine massacre. Three minutes after the subject entered the West

00:02:12.400 Building, there were a sufficient number of armed officers wearing body armor to isolate, distract,

00:02:19.440 and neutralize the subject. The only thing stopping a hallway of dedicated officers from entering room

00:02:24.420 111 and 112 was the on-scene commander who decided to place the lives of officers before the lives of

00:02:32.180 children. The officers had weapons. The children had none. The officers had body armor. The children

00:02:36.980 had none. The officers had training. The subject had none. One hour, 14 minutes and eight seconds.

00:02:45.480 That's how long the children waited and the teachers waited in rooms 111 to be rescued. And while they

00:02:52.380 waited, the on-scene commander waited for radio and rifles. Then he waited for shields. Then he waited for

00:03:01.580 SWAT. Lastly, he waited for a key that was never needed. So that was the Texas head of the Department of Public Safety

00:03:10.700 essentially saying what I think everyone had been thinking about this Uvaldi shooting. This could have been

00:03:17.020 over in three minutes. You had officers with body armor, with ballistic shields, and more images and photos are

00:03:26.060 coming out of this. They were in that hallway. And yet the on-scene commander, Chief Arradondo, and I expect we're

00:03:37.020 going to be hearing a lot more about him, essentially ordered everyone to stand down and to stand in that

00:03:43.680 hallway. And now I saw some conservative commentators out there saying there's no way, there's no way,

00:03:49.740 there's no way that police could have waited this long, right? There was, there was a tactical

00:03:54.260 situation. There had to have been something that was going on. Keep in mind, the chief

00:03:58.860 Ferradondo, as we were getting clips and drips and leaks of more footage coming out of this. He claimed

00:04:07.100 at one point that the officers tried to open those doors. Room 111, room 112. Yet something that

00:04:17.000 everyone has said after seeing these tapes, even surveillance footage that hasn't yet been released

00:04:21.520 to the public, there's no footage of the officers trying to open the doors. It simply isn't there. So he

00:04:27.600 lied. That's a lie from Chief Arradondo. And you can go through the rest of this and the headlines

00:04:33.180 coming out. They're trying to cover it all up, right? Journalists and parents kicked out of the

00:04:37.500 Uvalde City Council meeting. Images released showing that they were standing there for essentially an

00:04:42.900 hour with a bullet resistance shield, this blast shield, ballistic shield. Uvalde now hiring a private

00:04:48.940 law firm. Yeah, of course, they, you better believe the city is hiring a private law firm to block

00:04:53.840 footage and audio from the school shooting. So they're trying to block people from getting

00:04:59.960 access to what happened in there. I want to take this back a second. Everything in our country is

00:05:07.740 collapsing. And so what you see in the vapor lock of the fact that they couldn't make a decision,

00:05:16.840 they refuse to make a decision. It's because we've become an overly litigious society. 1.00

00:05:21.780 We've become a society where we don't know how to take the initiative anymore. We don't know how to

00:05:27.880 act. We don't know how to be the ones to put our first step forward. We're always waiting. We're

00:05:33.220 always waiting for some order. We're waiting for some guidance. We're waiting for some guideline.

00:05:37.760 People have forgotten how to have their own agency. And that's what you see. I really do believe that's

00:05:43.880 what you see here is that you see, you are going to find out, and this is me putting down my two

00:05:47.980 sense. I think what we'll find out is that this police chief, Arradondo, he thought that he was

00:05:54.460 supposed to wait because he thought, based on his training, that what you do in an emergency situation

00:06:00.900 is wait for higher information because that's all our manager is doing. There's no leaders.

00:06:07.560 There's no leadership. There's no leadership in this hallway. There's nobody taking it. The parents

00:06:11.640 that were running in from outside and officers trying to stop them, they were showing leadership.

00:06:18.240 The teachers who did lock their doors and in some cases gave their life, sacrificed their lives

00:06:24.360 to save some of the children jumping in front of the gunmen, they showed leadership.

00:06:29.640 But this is the problem of our government now because we have a nation that is run by bureaucrats

00:06:37.520 and they've pushed this so far down. And don't get me wrong. Don't get me wrong.

00:06:43.240 The defund the police movement is a huge part of this. The attacks on police officers, the vilification

00:06:49.920 of police officers, it makes fewer people want to be officers. That means you're going to get

00:06:58.520 lower quality police officers, lower quality police chiefs, people who get promoted to positions,

00:07:06.180 not because of their performance, not because of their acumen, not because they're good at their job,

00:07:11.120 but because they check all the right boxes or they hit all the right wickets. And you don't just see

00:07:14.660 this here. You see this in corporate America, you see it in the government, you see it in the military,

00:07:17.740 you see it everywhere. We need to stop. We need to start becoming a serious country again.

00:07:23.460 And when there is a gunman inside the schoolhouse full of children, you go in there and you stop

00:07:31.660 him no matter what it takes. If you listen to Human Events Daily every day, you know that we are locked

00:07:38.660 in an existential struggle. Freedom of speech, religious liberty, the Second Amendment. Across the

00:07:44.880 country, our constitutional rights are under constant attack and it is only getting worse by the day.

00:07:49.280 That is why Human Events Daily is proud to support Patriot Mobile. They are not just America's only

00:08:39.680 the media, and the rhinos, we need to stick together. The link's in the description. PatriotMobile.com slash POSO.

00:08:47.320 I don't know. We're at the I Promise School in Akron, Ohio. Okay. Our friend just got knocked out.

00:08:55.000 Okay. We don't know what to do. What is your name? Okay. Is there a fight happening there now?

00:09:01.960 Hey, man. We're sorry, man. We didn't mean to. Sorry. What was that? Is there a fight going on?

00:09:07.660 Uh, there was. Okay. Are the other people still there? Yeah. It's all good. It's okay, though. It's cool now. It's cool now.

00:09:17.300 Okay. Is your friend unconscious? Yeah. Is he breathing? Is he breathing? Yeah.

00:09:27.720 Yeah, he's breathing. He's breathing. Okay. Are you with him now? Yeah. How old is he?

00:09:35.020 I'm not trying to fight, though. How old is he? What was that? I can't fight. I can't.

00:09:45.920 How old is he? Hello?

00:09:49.520 So that's the 911 call in the assault and murder of Ethan Liming at the Akron School called the I Promise School,

00:10:00.480 which was founded and funded, financed by LeBron James. Now, LeBron James hasn't posted anything other

00:10:07.920 than one tweet, you know, about this saying, you know, saying that he's praying for the families

00:10:12.520 that are hurt by this, etc. This is the same LeBron James who's always out there talking about

00:10:17.200 accountability and justice and such an activist all over the place for everything else. I have to say it

00:10:23.320 again. I have a question for LeBron James. LeBron, have you listened to this 911 call?

00:10:30.340 Have you heard the voices of these friends calling the police asking for help because they're being

00:10:38.480 assaulted? Their friend's been knocked out. They think he's breathing. They're not medical experts.

00:10:44.540 They have no idea what's going on. But they realize what's happening is bad enough for them to call 911.

00:10:49.340 And then have you heard the fact that the assailants in this situation, in this altercation, we can't tell

00:10:56.600 by the way, from this call, what point in the fight where it's going on, you can kind of hear people in the

00:11:01.180 background saying we don't want to fight. Have you heard the fact that these assailants are now calling

00:11:07.540 and claiming self-defense? So they're claiming self-defense because they shot got shot with a water gun.

00:11:14.600 Then they came over. Ethan Liming, New Report Show, wasn't even the one firing the water gun at the

00:11:22.760 basketball players. He was sitting in his car. He tried to get out to de-escalate the situation because his group

00:11:30.240 of friends, two of which were also black, by the way, so there goes the race narrative, right? They were the ones 0.97

00:11:37.720 outside the car. He's inside the car. They come over. Who gets beat up? Who gets beat behind the

00:11:43.180 head? Who ends up dead in a parking lot at your school, LeBron James? And I want to be very clear

00:11:49.960 about this. This isn't LeBron James' fault. I'm not saying LeBron James personally did anything wrong

00:11:56.160 here. What I'm saying is when you have a situation like this, in the midst of the context when we're

00:12:03.300 talking about people being killed at school, when we're talking about racial issues in the United

00:12:07.240 States, issues that LeBron James himself has exacerbated many times. He talks about this

00:12:14.420 constantly. Where are you for Ethan Liming? Where are you for this family from your own hometown,

00:12:24.200 from your own area, from your own school? Has LeBron gone to see the family? Have you picked up the

00:12:31.720 phone and called the dad? He's a pastor. Have you gone to his church? Have you said, I'm going to go to

00:12:37.260 your church and pray with you and be with you in this time? Has he called for, I don't know, stronger

00:12:44.180 laws against violent crime anywhere in the country and stronger enforcement of these laws? Because it's

00:12:50.500 like I was saying yesterday, in this country, we will endlessly debate things that happened a hundred

00:12:56.620 years ago, 200 years ago. And people are frantically, you know, they'll be pulling up Wikipedia articles

00:13:02.160 and Googling and well, what about this thing? And what about that thing? Right? What about what's

00:13:07.780 happening right now on a daily basis, on a nightly basis in our cities, at schools, on the streets?

00:13:18.780 Can we have an honest conversation? So I really do believe, I really do believe LeBron James,

00:13:23.500 this is a massive opportunity for you. Step up, do the right thing. Be the person that crosses the

00:13:32.800 divide. Show that you're not playing politics, that you don't only care about one group of people,

00:13:40.600 that you do actually care about all groups of people. Because it's not about this group versus

00:13:45.920 that group. It's about all of us and the way that we treat one another. And people who commit crimes

00:13:52.920 are the ones who are wrong, not people who have the wrong group identity. Come on, LeBron, you can do it.

00:13:59.920 This is crime tourism. They're coming here for the purpose of targeting neighborhoods,

00:14:10.380 specifically vehicles, homes, not violent crimes, but they're going after the big bucks. They target

00:14:17.320 homes that back up to golf courses and open space. And they'll literally stand in the bushes and watch.

00:14:24.120 And when people leave, sometimes it's a two hour window. They go and get, go out to dinner or

00:14:29.280 something like that. They go in and pounce. So this is a story that we mentioned yesterday. We said,

00:14:34.820 we talked about crime tourism. And we mentioned it very briefly, but I really wanted to dig into it

00:14:41.820 today. And so we've got this story up. We dug it up from the Wall Street Journal. It was a piece that ran

00:14:46.320 last May. So just a couple of weeks ago. And it's about crime tourism. I haven't even heard of this

00:14:52.520 phrase before yesterday. Here's it. Here it is. The Golden State has long been a cultural trend

00:14:57.280 center and a popular location for leisure travel. But this is not a story about loading the family

00:15:02.460 into a wagon queen family truckster and heading west. No, no, no. It seems that California is

00:15:07.180 attracting an entirely new category of vacationers. Law enforcement agencies call it crime tourism.

00:15:14.960 Groups of thieves from South America travel to California to burglarize homes. They're easily

00:15:21.640 able to obtain tourist visas to travel to California by applying online. Once they have a visit,

00:15:27.860 they land at LAX and begin their crime spree. Residents in one Camarillo neighborhood say they're

00:15:34.560 aware of the South American burglary crews that have been targeting their community in the surrounding

00:15:39.040 areas. Several of my friends have been hit repeatedly, said one resident. According to the sheriff's

00:15:44.120 office, they are handling 100 cases last year alone that involve crews from South America.

00:15:53.000 Listen to this one from CBS station KPIX in San Francisco. A quiet residential town on the peninsula

00:15:58.700 had seen an increase in burglaries over the past four months. Hillsborough police say a specific

00:16:03.520 group could be behind the troubling trend. Many of the sophisticated burglary crews are coming from

00:16:08.460 South America and targeting wealthy communities, including to a community alert on this. It goes

00:16:14.620 on and on and on and on about this. How bad is how much of a joke, right? How much of a joke is our

00:16:22.100 country when we actually have crews of burglars who are able to obtain tourist visas from our own

00:16:30.580 State Department, our own U.S. government for the express. What do you say? What do you say when you're

00:16:35.600 sitting down for the tourist interview for the visa and you say, well, what are you planning to do in

00:16:40.940 the United States? They say, well, you know, I'm going to go to L.A. You know, I might check out the,

00:16:45.160 you know, the Walk of the Stars there in Hollywood, you know, see my favorite stars, get some selfies,

00:16:51.040 might go down to Anaheim, check out Disneyland. I don't know, maybe we're going up to San Diego,

00:16:56.520 maybe maybe see Balboa Park, check out SeaWorld. And we're going to rob as many people as possible.

00:17:02.300 We're going to rob them blind because apparently it's a free for all now. It's a free for all 0.97

00:17:08.340 inside California cities where some of the richest people in the United States live.

00:17:14.800 But apparently because of the actions of D.A.s like Chesa Boudin, actions like other D.A.s to not, 0.97

00:17:20.980 Gascon in Los Angeles, to not enforce the law because they know even if they get caught,

00:17:27.400 even if they get, this is the amazing part. So tourist visas, right, that you're only allowed in the

00:17:32.020 United States for a limited amount of time. So if you're in the United States for a limited amount

00:17:36.600 of time, you got to go back, you have to leave or else you'd be considered a visa overstay. That's an

00:17:40.160 illegal immigrant. Not that these people would care about that. But they do realize they want to come 1.00

00:17:43.720 back because they want to keep doing this. And they're able to keep doing it. And here's how.

00:17:48.700 Because even if they get arrested, they get let out of jail faster than the time it takes for the visa

00:17:56.020 to expire. So that means they're able to get back on the street, drive to LAX, get back on an airplane,

00:18:04.000 go back to the country from whence they came with their stolen loot. This is our country right now. 0.97

00:18:10.940 I want you to hear it. I want you to understand it. I want you to embrace it. I want you to embrace

00:18:16.720 the suck. We are seen as a place where crime and crime sprees are just waiting to happen. 0.99

00:18:30.840 Because what's the one thing that connects the three stories that we've done so far today?

00:18:36.840 It's policing and law enforcement and the broader section of the idea, the category of enforcing

00:18:43.720 the law to maintain our society. You know, when Yuri Bezmenov, the KGB defector, said

00:18:49.860 that the way to destabilize a society is by releasing the criminals, I think he may have

00:18:55.080 been on to something. I mean, at this point, about slightly less than half of goods that transit

00:19:06.060 Lithuania are in the sanction list. But that doesn't mean that all of them are sanctions right now.

00:19:12.340 That means that because there are different wind-down periods, and some of it, as, for example,

00:19:16.760 for oil, it will be sanctioned just at the end of the year, starting from December, even though

00:19:22.540 the authorities have announced that it is sanction-tolerant. Well, it's not true, actually.

00:19:27.400 Russia is showing that what kind of leverage does it have on EU. Truly, we've always known that.

00:19:32.880 We've always been speaking about this in the Foreign Affairs Councils. But this is the time

00:19:37.900 when we actually see how it works. So basically, it just has to be more resilient, to show more

00:19:45.480 force and do it faster, to find new deliveries where we can purchase the gas.

00:19:52.520 Kaliningrad Oblast. What does that even mean? What's Kaliningrad? Where is that? Is that

00:19:56.740 something from the Soviet Union, from World War II? Let's explain.

00:19:59.940 Sandwiched all the way over on the Baltic Sea, between Poland and Lithuania, there is a disconnected

00:20:09.840 territory of the Russian Federation called Kaliningrad, which actually sits in between

00:20:16.320 Poland and Lithuania, which is not directly connected to Russia or Belarus. There's a 40-mile

00:20:24.620 strip in between Kaliningrad and the border of Belarus that's referred to as the Sivalki Gap.

00:20:31.600 And so we need to do, to explain all this to everyone, a map break. So for you guys listening,

00:20:35.980 I'm sorry. I wish I could show this to you, but you got to go back and watch the show.

00:20:40.220 So why is this so important? Lithuania just announced that they are going to be imposing

00:20:45.520 what they claim is enforcing EU sanctions on material goods that are transported between Belarus

00:20:52.960 and Kaliningrad. Construction materials, metals, advanced technology. But Russia is saying that

00:21:00.700 they're worried, and the residents of Kaliningrad are worried, that all supplies might suddenly be

00:21:05.900 blocked on the rail links between Kaliningrad and Belarus. What does this mean? You might be

00:21:11.940 looking at an economic siege of the 1 million people that live in Kaliningrad. Now, they can

00:21:18.060 probably still get goods via ferry. Keep in mind, they're right on the sea, right on the Baltic

00:21:22.440 there. But understand the strategic importance of the Sivalki Gap and Kaliningrad. If Russia so 0.84

00:21:28.220 chooses, they could try to close the Sivalki Gap and shut down this area, shut down all access for

00:21:37.760 Poland and Lithuania. It's only 40 miles, right? You take a couple of tanks, send a column down.

00:21:43.320 You could take that in a day. What else does Kaliningrad have? Yeah, they've got the 1 million

00:21:49.300 people there, but you know what else? They've got nukes. Russia has nuclear missiles with long-range

00:21:56.680 ballistic capability, ballistic launch capability, stationed in Kaliningrad. They've been there for

00:22:01.280 years. They've been there for a long, long time. So understand, while the EU and Brussels might be

00:22:08.580 thinking, oh, it's just a couple of sanctions. Don't worry about it. And the Lithuanian minister

00:22:13.440 is saying, we're just, you know, we're merely following the guidance. Imagine how your actions

00:22:18.880 come across to the guy on the other side of the table. If you're sitting there telling them,

00:22:23.520 we will starve out your citizens. We will not allow them to get goods. Imagine how that comes across.

00:22:29.380 Now, we've heard just before we went to film today, it looks like Lithuania is backing down

00:22:34.900 from those initial statements and saying, yes, of course, we will allow essential goods

00:22:39.840 to travel on this rail. But understand, this is a potential key flashpoint because both Lithuania 0.88

00:22:46.160 and Poland, Baltic nations, right there, members of NATO. Now, that didn't matter as much during the

00:22:54.020 Cold War. But right now, you've got a potential hostile military force in the Sivalki Gap,

00:23:00.500 which could go toe to toe with the Russian military.

00:23:05.560 And that's all the time we have today, Human Events Daily. Remember, as always, our promise,

00:23:09.440 our oath, our solemn vow to you, be good, be brief, be gone. Your homework for us. Share this out with

00:23:13.180 one, just one of your normie friends, and then leave us your review. Five stars. I think we earned

00:23:18.980 five. I feel like today was a five-star show. You guys let me know, but I feel like today was a

00:23:23.140 five-star show. So leave us the five stars and then send us one of your reviews. We love reading the

00:23:28.400 reviews. The positive ones are fun. The negative, the troll reviews, the one-star reviews, they're

00:23:33.620 hilarious. What did we talk about today? Uvalde, hiring a private law firm to block footage and audio

00:23:39.780 of the school shooting. Next, the 911 call has been released in the murder of Ohio teen Ethan Liming

00:23:46.980 at LeBron James School. Third, crime tourism soaring across California. And then finally, Russia 0.76

00:23:52.600 threatening retaliation should Lithuania block the Sivalki Gap. Ton of news today. Super heavy

00:24:00.440 stories. Really hard, a lot of hard news today, right? Not so much stuff that was very fun. But

00:24:05.980 keep in mind, we'll have a lot more to go this week. The Supreme Court didn't get the Roe v. Wade

00:24:10.940 decision today. We didn't get that decision on the Second Amendment either. But we're going to cover

00:24:16.420 what we did get today. We'll cover that tomorrow. We're also going to be on watch. So we are on Supreme

00:24:21.000 Court watch for the rest of this week. And then next week, looking at when will the decision on

00:24:26.680 Roe v. Wade come down. So if you're like me, pray every day that it's overturned and that we will be

00:24:32.720 able to protect our children. But first, it's time for today's history break. Today, 1989, the Supreme

00:24:39.800 Court ruled that it's okay to burn the American flag as political expression. Couldn't be more against

00:24:46.260 that. Expression is not speech. It's not the same thing. It's not in the Constitution. I'd be totally

00:24:52.120 fine with a federal law that says you cannot burn, harm, or dismantle or tamper with an American flag

00:24:58.880 that's flying or an American flag in public. Why? Because we need to make our national symbols

00:25:05.360 important. That's why we can't have two Independence Days. You can't burn the American flag because as a

00:25:11.000 society, you need to hold some things up as sacred. And the American flag certainly is one of them.

00:25:17.660 Ladies and gentlemen, as always, you have my permission to lay ashore.
