00:00:25.780 The Poso Daily Brief.
00:00:30.000 This is what happens when the fourth turning
00:00:32.940 meets fifth-generation warfare.
00:00:39.660 A commentator, international social media sensation,
00:00:43.760 and former Navy intelligence veteran.
00:00:45.960 This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.
00:00:49.060 Christ is king!
00:00:50.620 I have troops on the ground there.
00:00:52.460 They say they're there to beef up security.
00:00:54.460 Yesterday's talks involving Greenland, Denmark,
00:00:56.700 and the U.S. failing to reach any consensus.
00:00:58.600 At least one aircraft carrier is en route to the Middle East with other military assets from
00:01:03.020 air, land, and sea expected to begin flowing into the region in the coming days and weeks.
00:01:08.220 The White House still leaving the door open, though, for a potential strike.
00:01:11.720 Facing pressure to tackle the rising cost of living,
00:01:14.540 President Trump unveiling what he's calling his great health care plan.
00:01:18.620 The government is going to pay the money directly to you.
00:01:22.720 It goes to you, and then you take the money and buy your own health care.
00:01:26.940 President Trump had a nice phone call with Senator Elizabeth Warren to talk about credit card rates.
00:01:33.000 This is an area where people may be surprised, but President Trump and Elizabeth Warren
00:01:37.400 aligned very much on this idea to limit how much credit card companies can charge for interest rates.
00:01:45.580 The White House is obviously moving forward on what they're calling an affordability agenda.
00:01:50.420 And President Trump has some allies, Republicans on Capitol Hill and also Democrats like Senator
00:01:55.720 Warren and others in that very fight.
00:01:57.820 Chaos erupting on the streets once again for the second time in a week now.
00:02:01.380 A federal officer opening fire, a man wounded.
00:02:04.020 DHS says he fled officers, protesters clashing with law enforcement afterward, and President
00:02:09.440 Trump tonight now threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act, which would allow him to
00:02:13.500 send in the U.S. military.
00:02:14.820 What's clear here is that the money trail has to be dried up.
00:02:20.860 That has to be exposed.
00:02:22.420 There's a deep dive right now between HSI, IRS, and FBI.
00:02:27.780 We know there's organized groups.
00:02:29.580 We know there's funding.
00:02:30.960 And we're doing a deep dive right now to identify them, follow the money, and find out who's organizing this, who's inciting the violence.
00:02:37.520 And justice is coming their way.
00:02:39.700 So we're all over this.
00:02:40.960 We just increased the number of attorneys to Minnesota, a number of agents.
00:02:45.840 But there's a separate part of that.
00:02:48.180 We're looking at the financials.
00:02:48.960 financials. We're looking at who's funding this, who's antagonizing this, and they'll be held
00:02:54.180 accountable. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily. We're here
00:03:01.020 live on Real America's Voice. Today is January 16th, 2025, Anno Domini. Well, folks, Operation
00:03:09.720 Metro Surge has been a resounding success up there in Minneapolis. And thanks to Human Events and
00:03:17.580 other footage, we can, of course, now be very excited to report that the individual who stole
00:03:25.180 those guns from the federal locker has been arrested. So you remember that footage just
00:03:31.500 two nights ago, we provided you with exclusive footage there obtained directly on the ground,
00:03:38.880 our field correspondent, Kevin Posobiec, putting himself in harm's way, many others putting
00:03:44.060 themselves in harm's way, our friend Nick Sorter and others there capturing this footage. And not
00:03:49.720 only did they catch the guy, turns out that he's a member of who? The Latin Kings. Yes, that's 0.99
00:03:56.040 right. The Latin Kings, because if you go back and remember the Latin Kings, who are they? The
00:04:01.960 Latin Kings are the operational arm of the Sinaloa cartel and other cartels on the ground in the
00:04:08.960 United States. The Latin Kings and other gangs like this, they are the street level pushers 1.00
00:04:14.380 for the various drugs, the various narcotics that go out here. They're the ones who put it out on 1.00
00:04:20.400 the street. It's not the cartels aren't coming in. They're the partners. So who came in? I'll
00:04:25.420 tell you who came in. They went up in Chicago. Remember, just a couple of weeks ago, back in
00:04:31.080 October, a lot of people may have missed this, but there was a Latin Kings enforcer arrested
00:04:35.960 all the way back in October. He's on trial right now for putting out what? A $10,000 bounty on
00:04:41.780 Commander Bovino. So you understand how it all works. On one side, you've got the cartels.
00:04:48.380 You've got the Latin Kings. You've got the Latin Kings putting out $10,000. You think he's got
00:04:52.920 $10,000 for that? No, that's a cartel bounty that they're putting out on Commander Bovino
00:04:57.400 because he's a Border Patrol commander and he's out there with the men. He's out there with the
00:05:02.620 ICE officers and brave agents that are out there doing the Lord's work day after day.
00:05:07.760 And they're putting a $10,000 cartel bounty on his head. And he's still out there every day,
00:05:13.860 knowing that he's a wanted man, knowing that he's a marked man. He doesn't care because
00:05:18.280 Commander Bovino cares about this country. And what do we also have now? So we also come to find
00:05:23.960 that the Latin Kings are now becoming more active in Minneapolis. And they are specifically going,
00:05:28.620 who was there who was there that night right before right right when that was when the ice
00:05:35.120 involved shooting took place there was a venezuelan uh attacked an agent with a shovel there were two
00:05:40.580 other individuals involved snow shovel actually there were two other individuals involved shot
00:05:44.980 him shot him got a shot off hit him in the leg who was there on the scene commander bovino
00:05:51.380 was this guy potentially was this guy potentially trying to collect on the bounty i'm just asking
00:05:58.100 questions here, folks. Understand what time it is and understand whose side certain people are on.
00:06:07.800 Tim Walz, Keith Ellison, Mayor Jacob Fry, they're on the same side as who? Not just the rioters,
00:06:17.360 not just the Somalis that are brawling in the state capital, the high schoolers. 0.69
00:06:21.060 they're on the same side as the latin kings and the cartels hmm i wonder why that is what an
00:06:29.240 interesting situation gee what do you think could be going on they're all in league together connect
00:06:37.680 the dots this is about destruction of one of america's greatest cities this is about the
00:06:43.100 destruction of our country ad hominem this is about the destruction of our country rid hole
00:06:48.560 And we need to tear out the rot.
00:06:52.760 We're going to tear out the rot, root, and stem. 1.00
00:06:55.680 Rot like this, Latin Kings, punk, this thug, this disgusting freak. 1.00
00:07:00.520 Get him off the streets. 1.00
00:07:02.220 And you know what?
00:07:03.220 He is off the streets.
00:07:04.620 Thanks to who?
00:07:05.660 Human Events and Nick Sorter.
00:07:08.120 We'll be right back with more.
00:07:09.620 Jack Posobiec continues.
00:07:14.400 In our way, in our golden age, has just begun.
00:07:17.800 This is Human Events with Jack Posobiec.
00:07:19.780 Now it's time for everyone to understand what America First truly means.
00:07:24.440 Welcome to the second American revolution.
00:07:30.920 All right, Jack Posobiec, we are back live here, Human Events Daily.
00:07:36.260 And while we're focused on so many of the operations, Operation Metro Surge that's going on down in, or I should say up in Minneapolis,
00:07:44.540 I also want to talk about what's going on around the country to make our country safe again, to make our country be able to defend itself again.
00:07:51.960 And we're very excited to bring on once again the press secretary for the Department of War, Kingsley Wilson.
00:07:56.240 Kingsley, how are you?
00:07:57.800 I'm doing great, Jack. Thanks for having me.
00:08:00.820 So we had a RAV correspondent that was embedded, Benny Ray Harmony, with Secretary Hegseth for the Arsenal of Freedom Tour, the kickoff that's going on.
00:08:10.420 Talk to us about this tour.
00:08:11.940 Why is it that the mainstream media seems so upset about this, where it's simply where the Secretary of War is going out and talking about, it seems to me, new technology, new innovations for the warfighter?
00:08:26.140 Absolutely. We're really excited here at the department about this initiative, about everything we're doing when it comes to new technology and reforming the acquisition system.
00:08:36.240 For too long in this country, we have relied on defense contractors that had monopolies on defense
00:08:43.040 contracts and that didn't deliver equipment on time. And they often delivered that equipment
00:08:48.600 way over budget, way over cost. The president has started to highlight this and is taking action.
00:08:55.480 So we're really proud to be going around the country. We're visiting the primes, of course,
00:09:00.220 but we're also engaging with a lot of new emerging companies that are really innovating.
00:09:05.160 We're going to make sure that if you're a small company and you're innovating and you can get our warfighters something fast and efficient, we want to work with you.
00:09:14.620 Under the Obama administration, companies like SpaceX and Palantir had to actually sue the department just to be able to compete for department contracts.
00:09:24.120 That has totally ended.
00:09:25.860 We're going to make sure that our warfighters have everything they need and that they have it fast.
00:09:30.140 We see our adversaries beefing up their arsenals, and America needs to be ready and equipped.
00:09:35.860 The president talks about it all the time.
00:09:37.720 This is peace through strength.
00:09:39.200 So I think for a long time, previous admins have overlooked this critical element.
00:09:43.780 We've gotten the warrior ethos back at the Department of War.
00:09:46.880 Now we want to make sure we also have the capabilities to do that.
00:09:49.820 So we're continuing to invest in our American-made manufacturing and defense companies, and we're excited for those partnerships.
00:09:57.240 Well, and I do think it's kind of interesting that I have to admit there's a little bit
00:10:02.960 of just from my own perspective, a little bit of a double standard by I've seen so much
00:10:07.180 criticism of the secretary, but they say, oh, he's having these meetings, he's meeting
00:10:10.600 with defense contractors, he shouldn't be doing this directly.
00:10:13.300 And then I'll turn around and point out, because if you go and look at Politico's playbook
00:10:17.840 newsletter or so many other media newsletters, Washington Post, others out there, so many
00:10:22.320 of them have their own partnerships and promotions and funding that comes directly from also
00:10:28.560 defense contractors. So shouldn't they also be, you know, holding themselves to the same
00:10:33.060 standard? I don't get it. You would think so, but the mainstream media never seems to
00:10:38.240 do that. But we definitely take that kind of criticism in stride and we'll continue to
00:10:43.200 engage because at the end of the day, this is about our warfighters. They need to have
00:10:47.040 the best equipment. We never want them to enter into a fair fight. If we can give them
00:10:52.020 a decisive advantage technologically, equipment-wise, we are absolutely going to do that.
00:10:57.980 And now, thanks to President Trump, we've got a $1.5 trillion budget to deliver on that.
00:11:03.800 So that's going to be a huge priority for us going forward.
00:11:06.840 And we're going to be utilizing a lot of cutting-edge technology as well.
00:11:10.400 Think about AI and how that's going to change warfare, how drones are going to change warfare.
00:11:15.220 When the secretary was down this Monday at SpaceX, he talked a lot about our AI initiatives
00:11:20.820 and how we're going to be an AI-dominant U.S. military.
00:11:25.220 We're using companies like Grok, like Google Gemini.
00:11:28.900 We want to engage with everyone to make sure that if we're building battleships
00:11:32.220 like we're going to be building, which we're very excited about,
00:11:35.400 the designs for those ships are going to utilize AI.
00:11:38.520 We want to make sure that everything is getting done quickly.
00:11:41.280 Like the president says, during World War II, we used to put out a ship a day.
00:11:45.900 We used to build a ship a day.
00:11:47.280 We need to get back to that.
00:11:48.480 we need to make sure that we've got a strong and deep defense industrial base 0.85
00:11:52.500 so that our warfighters have what they need.
00:11:55.820 So as incredible as that is, we're talking media.
00:11:59.920 Obviously, we here at Human Events are members of the newly constituted Pentagon Press Corps.
00:12:05.720 But there's another newspaper, or I should say a standard newspaper, you mentioned World War II.
00:12:11.400 We go all the way back to the World War II history of this paper called Stars and Stripes.
00:12:16.120 And Stars and Stripes had been known, and I remember this from having served, this was the military's newspaper.
00:12:22.060 It's on every base, it's on every post.
00:12:24.440 You go out there, you get Stars and Stripes, and it's sort of supposed to be, you know, the paper of record for the military.
00:12:32.600 And, of course, you know, it's got an incredibly storied history, sending out correspondents, war correspondents in the past.
00:12:40.100 Yet over the years, I'm just going to say it, and I don't even have to put words in your mouth.
00:12:43.820 This thing has got completely woke. It's so far to the left. It is completely nuts. And it has
00:12:50.620 been so for a long time. They've attacked me like crazy in recent years just because I've come out
00:12:56.660 of the military and been a Trump supporter. And then at the same time, they'll turn around and
00:13:00.520 I can find glowing profiles of Antifa military members who have gone on to commit violent crimes
00:13:07.740 like Daniel Allen Baker, who not only went over and joined a fighting group in Syria,
00:13:14.020 but then came back and used that training in Chaz in Seattle, then gets arrested in running the,
00:13:20.160 you know, the roadblocks and the perimeters, checkpoints. Then he gets arrested down in
00:13:24.580 Florida and Stars and Stripes loves this guy. Oh, he's an anti-fascist and he's, you know,
00:13:28.320 he's upholding values. It's gone so far around the bend. Tell me about the plans for Stars and
00:13:34.400 stripes. You're absolutely correct in your assessment of where the paper currently stands.
00:13:40.600 And that's unfortunate because you highlighted its incredible legacy as being a paper for our
00:13:46.160 warfighters. That's what we want it to be again. So we have launched an initiative to reform
00:13:51.740 stars and stripes, and we're going to make sure that we return it to its former glory. No more 0.70
00:13:57.400 reprinted AP gossip columns or Reuters hit pieces. And I think a lot of people don't realize that's
00:14:04.280 what Stars and Stripes has largely been doing. They have been taking AP articles and simply just
00:14:09.780 reprinting them. Instead of writing things that our warriors actually want to read, that are
00:14:14.780 custom-tailored to them, we're going to be talking about things like fitness, weapons systems,
00:14:21.560 standards, lethality, all of the stuff that our warriors want to be reading about, because at the
00:14:27.440 end of the day, this is a paper that is for them. So we're going to be refocusing this paper
00:14:33.380 on that editorial mission, and we're going to ensure that it is one that the American people
00:14:38.480 can be proud of. A lot of folks are really excited about this initiative because they remember,
00:14:43.500 like you do, Jack, the incredible legacy that Stars and Stripes had, and they want to get
00:14:48.600 back to that. So we're going to totally eliminate all of the woke nonsense that they've been putting
00:14:53.560 out, and we're going to make sure that we get back to talking about actual warfighting,
00:14:58.380 writing about actual warfighting and actually writing pieces instead of just reprinting what
00:15:03.620 other commercial wires are writing. I mean, it's ridiculous. I actually just pulled up as you were 0.82
00:15:09.480 talking some of the history. I didn't even realize that it all the way goes back to the Civil War
00:15:15.160 is when 1861, the original founding, and I don't think it was military-wide at that point yet. It
00:15:21.680 was sort of set up in Illinois and Missouri, some of the regiments there. And that was, it was kind
00:15:27.700 of a newsletter, I guess, basically. And then World War I is when it really kicks off the
00:15:33.760 doughboys going over. And at the time, so many of the reporters were veterans or people had just 0.88
00:15:40.140 gotten out of the military themselves. And so the sources, the embedding, it was from people that
00:15:45.160 they had known and worked with, and they were drawing upon that experience while being able
00:15:49.900 to do that reporting. Kingsley, we just don't find that anymore when you look at not just the
00:15:55.060 Reporting Corps, but so many of these papers, and by the way, I wouldn't just say Stars and Stripes,
00:16:00.180 I would add Military Times, Army Times, Navy Times, all of that on top of it as well. People
00:16:06.040 seem to think that those are like official publications. No, they're completely left-wing
00:16:10.480 dirt rags the same way the rest of the media is. And I would just highlight too, I agree with your
00:16:15.920 assessment on all of those military outlets, of course, but I would just highlight too that Stars
00:16:20.060 and Stripes is a little unique in that it's majority DOW funded. So this is something that
00:16:25.380 is actually a military paper for our warfighters. And unfortunately, they've really lost sight of
00:16:30.500 that mission. During the commercial break, I was looking at some of their headlines here,
00:16:34.280 and they have this one from 2024, Kiev celebrates first pride parade since invasion.
00:16:40.580 Why do our warfighters want to read about that kind of woke nonsense when they could be reading
00:16:45.600 about stuff that actually matters to them, stuff that actually impacts their daily life if they're
00:16:51.260 here, if they're stationed somewhere, if they're deployed abroad. So that's going to be the focus
00:16:56.500 going forward. And we're going to make sure that we custom tailor this to them and that we're
00:17:00.820 delivering it to them in a way that they can consume. And that's going to be a huge overhaul
00:17:05.320 effort that we're going to take on here at the public affairs shop. We're super, super excited
00:17:09.900 about it because, again, we want to return stars and stripes to what it used to be, to what everyone
00:17:14.520 remembers it being great for, and that's going to be our North Star going forward.
00:17:20.020 Yeah, I mean, look at the names of some of this. Andy Rooney. Andy Rooney was literally a
00:17:25.520 correspondent for Stars and Stripes. Steve Croft. People have gone on to so many huge,
00:17:31.800 huge names throughout history. Obviously, the Vietnam War, this was a massive era.
00:17:38.000 And somewhere along the way, and again, this is owned by the military. It's owned by defense
00:17:42.480 military activity owned by the dow and yet they've just it just goes to show the infiltration
00:17:47.720 over the years and how the so many of these things have been let fall by the wayside meanwhile you've
00:17:53.120 got i i wonder by the way um kingsley if uh if perhaps uh seeing his defense military activity
00:17:59.120 it reminds me that that used to be one of the missions of a certain uh a certain marine
00:18:04.300 e4 who is now serving as the vice president of the united states perhaps perhaps uh perhaps get
00:18:10.960 some work or consultation work out of him, come over and show you how things should be run.
00:18:16.240 Do you think that Vice President Vance might take an interest in this?
00:18:21.780 I certainly hope so. And you're absolutely right. He would be a great person to ask
00:18:25.820 some advice about this subject in particular, given his experience. But yeah, we're excited
00:18:31.860 about this. We think that it's going to better serve our warriors and our veterans. And it's
00:18:37.140 going to kind of be in lockstep with what we have tried to do across this department is refocus on
00:18:42.400 the mission. We're getting the ideology out of the military. We're getting the woke out of the
00:18:46.200 military, the politics. We just want to talk about what every single service member signed up to do
00:18:51.040 to be a lethal warfighter and to keep the American people safe. So this is a paper that is on every
00:18:56.820 single military base that should reflect that. And we want it to be one that is going to make
00:19:01.360 our service members' lives better. That is what it's all about. Kingsley Wilson, Department of
00:19:07.140 War. Give her a follow, folks, over there. God bless. Thank you so much.
00:19:14.120 Talk about influences. These are influences, and they're friends of mine. Jack Posobiec.

00:19:24.780 All right, Jack Posobiec, we're back here.
00:19:29.720 Live, Human Events, Daily, Real America's Voice.
00:19:32.380 Folks, every day, Americans are making choices that shape our country's future.
00:19:36.760 We're talking right down to which cell phone provider we support.
00:19:39.780 Here's what most people don't realize.
00:19:41.140 Patriot Mobile isn't just a wireless provider.
00:19:43.640 They're an activist organization funded by selling top-tier cell phone service.
00:19:48.800 They've been out on the front lines defending our freedoms long before it was cool,
00:19:52.520 standing in the gap when others couldn't or wouldn't.

00:20:46.880 And by the way, folks, you want to learn a little bit more
00:20:48.420 about Stars and Stripes, one of the best movies out there about it, of course, what? Full Metal
00:20:54.320 Jacket. Remember, that's Joker, right? Joker is, of course, working on a mission for Stars and
00:20:59.660 Stripes, as well as Rafter Man, Private First Class Rafter Man over there for Stars and Stripes,
00:21:06.460 of course, in the immortal Full Metal Jacket. Of course, I don't even think Full Metal Jacket
00:21:10.620 could be made today, let alone any of the lines of the gunnery sergeant be able to
00:21:18.220 actually be said. One of the best war movies and movies in general ever made, of course,
00:21:23.960 as we all know. Folks, I want to go back, though, to Minneapolis, where active operations are still
00:21:29.680 taking place. And people need to understand, all right, it's not just about the riots,
00:21:34.380 okay? The riots are tertiary behavior. What we're talking about are the targeted
00:21:42.880 detention and interdiction operations of the illegals that should not be in our country. 0.88
00:21:50.260 The arrest, the prosecution of them, that's why the raids are happening. That's why the surge 0.99
00:21:55.940 happened in the first place. And we're going to get into those cases because that's a piece of
00:21:59.840 this that I don't think has gotten enough coverage. Now, we've been covering the response to it,
00:22:04.380 but let me tell you this. I'll tell you right now. The left is at their breaking point. They are.
00:22:10.100 And I think, honestly, we don't even need to invoke the Insurrection Act.
00:22:16.080 President Trump doesn't need to do it.
00:22:18.240 You know why?
00:22:19.000 Because they're already losing.
00:22:21.320 They're already losing their momentum.
00:22:24.700 They've lost their morale.
00:22:26.060 Look, they're not even talking.
00:22:27.300 They were not able to turn Renee Good into this martyr that they all wanted.
00:22:31.680 Oh, Renee Good.
00:22:32.680 And then when the truth came out about her, done.
00:22:35.480 They came out and said, you know what?
00:22:38.840 I don't like this. And what also happened was the administration stood tall. The administration
00:22:46.140 did not back down an inch on any of this. I want to go check, by the way, another piece of this
00:22:52.220 that's huge. So I've got the Give, Send, Go number. And I've got, I'm doing this on the fly,
00:23:00.700 so forgive me, right? So I've got the Give, so there's two of these fundraisers that were set
00:23:06.200 up for GiveZenGo and GoFundMe for ICE officer Jonathan Ross. And as of right now, I would like
00:23:16.140 and I'd be very happy. Yeah, yeah, I was right. Doing the math in my head. I'm very happy to now
00:23:24.060 officially report to you that when you combine both, so you go all in, all of the fundraisers,
00:23:31.600 the crowdfunding for Jonathan Ross, over $1 million has now been raised for ICE officer
00:23:39.240 Jonathan Ross. $1 million, a key milestone, has been broken all in for this guy, this American
00:23:48.180 hero who joined the National Guard, who served his country in Iraq, a war that he didn't choose,
00:23:54.720 but a war that he was sent to because he signed up for his country. Came home, joined the Border
00:24:00.320 patrol, spent 19 years working for DHS, then moved over to ICE operations, the internal operations,
00:24:08.120 injured twice that we know of publicly on the job. This is the kind of guy that America
00:24:15.780 should uphold. This is the kind of guy who's actually doing what needs to be done in this
00:24:22.300 country. And here's the difference, right? You got two forces, two contrasting forces,
00:24:27.800 order and chaos. Order and chaos. Do we want liberty in America? Of course,
00:24:34.920 but an ordered liberty, an ordered society. God is the creator of order. Therefore, order
00:24:43.300 is godly. Satan cannot create. Satan can only pervert, toxify, destroy.
00:24:54.020 satan is chaos and chaos is satanism that's what the devil means right the word devil to divide
00:25:04.120 that's what it means it's a divider so you have order on one hand chaos on the other
00:25:09.960 what ice's operations are doing right now what the president of the united states president trump
00:25:17.200 is doing, is delivering on his promise. There is going to be friction as we move from a chaotic
00:25:24.860 society to an ordered society. And in an ordered society, illegal aliens, and especially criminal
00:25:32.440 illegal aliens, cannot be permitted to stay within the confines of our nation. 0.82
00:25:39.180 The American people voted for this. The American people said, get out. The American people said, 1.00
00:25:44.720 we don't want the Latin Kings here anymore. We don't want the Somali fraudsters. We don't want 1.00
00:25:49.540 Al-Shabaab. We don't want any of this. We want the Sinaloa cartel partners. We're done. Trendy 1.00
00:25:54.860 Aragua. We're done with all of it. The MS-13s. No, no. That's why Donald Trump won. That's why
00:26:03.080 the MAGA movement exists, because nobody wanted to talk about this. And the spineless, gutless
00:26:08.960 Republican rhinos, the Mitt Romneys and the McCain's and the Paul Ryan's of before said,
00:26:15.100 oh, don't say anything. Just Tom Emmer up there, by the way, in Minnesota. No, just go along with
00:26:20.180 it. You're racist. You're racist if you don't allow your entire state to be overrun with Somalis. 0.99
00:26:26.040 Well, maybe I don't want my state to be overrun with Somalis. Maybe I want to speak the same 1.00
00:26:30.560 language as the people in my neighborhood. Maybe I want my children to share the same traditions
00:26:35.940 with the people they live with on their street.
00:26:38.940 Maybe I want that.
00:26:40.180 And you know something?
00:26:41.400 Maybe there isn't anything wrong with saying that I want that for my family,
00:26:45.420 that I want that for my community, that I want that for my town,
00:26:47.880 that I want that for my state, and that I want that for my country.
00:26:51.360 Maybe, maybe there's everything right about that
00:26:54.720 because that is order, that is godly.
00:26:57.600 We'll be right back.
00:26:58.560 Jack Posobiec, Human Events Daily.
00:27:05.940 where's jack where is he jack i want to see you
00:27:12.220 great job jack thank you what a job you do you know we have an incredible thing we're always
00:27:19.700 talking about the fake news and the bad but we have guys and these are the guys should be getting
00:27:24.640 all right jack we are back live here human events daily we're honored once again to be on with
00:27:33.980 Tricia McLaughlin of the Department of Homeland Security. Tricia, how are you?
00:27:38.900 Hey, Jack, I'm good. Thank you for having me.
00:27:42.020 Well, I don't know if you caught it, and I'm sure you guys are tracking, but we just ran the numbers,
00:27:47.100 and it looks like the crowdfunding, the groundswell of support from Americans,
00:27:52.620 regular Americans for Jonathan Ross, the ICE officer who was injured, has just reached over
00:27:57.520 $1 million all in between the two fundraisers that he has going. And as incredible as that is,
00:28:03.660 I wanted to check with you if you had any update on his medical status, because we also, you know, of course, heard the news, horrible news that he had this internal bleeding.
00:28:13.520 And obviously, we know that can lead to a lot of complications.
00:28:16.760 Do you have an update for us on that?
00:28:19.260 I don't have an update.
00:28:20.720 I know he's, of course, out of the hospital.
00:28:23.480 But, you know, we are praying for him and his family.
00:28:26.380 This is a very seasoned law enforcement officer who's been vilified and dragged through the mud when he was being targeted with a deadly weapon.
00:28:36.940 And he used his training and saved his own life and potentially the lives of his fellow law enforcement officers.
00:28:44.440 So we know he's spending time with his family.
00:28:46.440 He's on leave right now, but we're praying for him and pulling for him.
00:28:49.740 So thank you for that.
00:28:51.180 Well, that's incredible.
00:28:52.220 And I certainly appreciate that.
00:28:54.000 And I think it's something, too, where these officers, and you see this happening again and again when I see Mayor Frye up there demonizing the ICE agents, you can see the police officers standing next to him on the podium, kind of grimace and turn away.
00:29:10.860 What is happening with these local politicians when they keep putting targets on the backs of law enforcement?
00:29:17.480 You're absolutely correct, Jack.
00:29:18.980 And we've seen the images, and we continue to see the images out of Minneapolis.
00:29:22.880 Our law enforcement officers are being spit on. They are pouring cold water on the ground so that our ICE law enforcement vehicles will slide, crash and potentially kill them.
00:29:34.900 Of course, we're seeing these vehicle rammings. That is a new tactic that we're seeing increasingly.
00:29:41.320 There has been a 3,200 percent increase in those vehicle rammings. We've seen 15 in the last week alone out of Minneapolis.
00:29:49.160 So as to your point, what Walsh and Fry are doing is putting a target on our law enforcement's back.
00:29:56.700 But it's not just ICE, CBP and DHS law enforcement.
00:30:00.140 It's law enforcement at large.
00:30:02.280 The average lunatic isn't going to know the difference between federal law enforcement and state and local law enforcement.
00:30:08.480 So this is really putting every law enforcement officer in danger.
00:30:12.480 And you also see the media's culpability of it.
00:30:15.580 You just mentioned the name of our officer.
00:30:17.700 And I was just on CNN earlier today and they were completely blaming him for the death of this woman instead of the fact of the matter that this woman was committing federal crimes by not only stalking, harassing and impeding law enforcement, then, of course, weaponizing her vehicle and using it as a deadly weapon against our law enforcement officer.
00:30:39.680 So what we really want to see on the ground, Jack, is we want to see cooperation from state and local law enforcement.
00:30:47.000 That would make really quell the situation at hand. It would make the public much safer.
00:30:51.720 It would make our law enforcement much safer so that they could actually call state and local law enforcement for backup as they're being attacked, as they're being assaulted or as their duties and operations are being obstructed.
00:31:04.720 But we're not seeing that from Tim Walz, from Fry. They're simply obstructing operations.
00:31:10.520 well and and to even take that a step back the this all started because the the reason that
00:31:18.540 these raids are taking place is because they refuse to honor the ICE detainers in the first
00:31:22.980 place and that's the reason that you don't see these in in red states or in states that aren't
00:31:27.800 sanctuary cities because it's so much safer for everyone for residents for family members for
00:31:35.640 the agents involved, for anyone involved, to simply, if there's a case like this, to hand
00:31:41.240 them over at a jailhouse or a courthouse where it can be done in a safe manner, assuming, of course,
00:31:46.820 by the way, that there isn't a judge who tries to sneak them out the back door, which of course
00:31:51.940 happened once. Oh, yeah, exactly. Out of Wisconsin there. Jack, that is such a great point you're
00:31:57.860 making. I mean, for example, out of Minneapolis in the last year, we've made a little over 10,000
00:32:03.000 arrests. And you've seen the chaos. You've seen the violence against law enforcement. You've seen
00:32:08.140 the really threat to public safety because of these riots and violent agitators. But then you
00:32:13.980 look at Florida. We've made over 40,000 arrests down there. And yet you see calm. You see peace.
00:32:20.080 And why is that? Because state and local law enforcement are empowered to work with their
00:32:24.740 federal law enforcement partners. Us at DHS, they're allowed to hand these criminal illegal
00:32:29.860 aliens from their jails, from their custody, over to us to have a peaceful transfer so that
00:32:34.820 we can make sure not only is justice had, but also we're getting these people the heck out of
00:32:38.440 our country. And so you don't need to see these high level, high visibility, and of course,
00:32:45.360 high risk raids that are going on because of these sanctuary policies in the first place.
00:32:50.920 And unfortunately, they do. And I just, it reminds me of in 2020, in the summer of 2020,
00:32:57.240 I reported on Chaz out in Seattle and it was this instance where these left wing agitators got in
00:33:03.960 and they were fighting with police and then they took over this area and you had business owners
00:33:08.240 and you have shopkeepers and you had a car dealership. I was there the night where they
00:33:13.040 broke into the car dealership and they were stealing keys and they smashed the the gate of
00:33:17.640 this. And so they're taking the key so they can steal the cars that are all sitting on the lot.
00:33:21.200 That's all the inventory. And where did those people who get caught in the crossfire of any of
00:33:26.260 this thing. Where did they go for recompense? Now, certainly, thank God, by the way, that
00:33:30.680 most of those people were safe, but there were some shootings. And unfortunately, there were
00:33:34.560 some killings by the left-wingers in Seattle. In that case, the residents, and I believe the
00:33:41.120 property owners, the business owners joined together. I just pulled this up. They joined
00:33:44.800 together. They sued the city of Seattle and received a settlement, $3.6 million that took
00:33:51.120 place afterwards. So I wonder, does Jacob Fry or Tim Walz, are they even considering the fact
00:33:56.660 that they are the ones putting their own citizens at risk here?
00:34:02.360 I don't think that they care, Jack. I think that this is about politics. This isn't about public
00:34:06.760 safety. Flashback to two weeks ago where Tim Walz stepped down because of this rampant
00:34:13.040 fraud investigation. We've seen at least $9 billion in fraud out of Minneapolis. And then,
00:34:19.680 And of course, we've surged Homeland Security investigators there to be really following
00:34:23.500 that money, getting accountability and getting answers for the American people, which every
00:34:27.700 single day we are one step closer to getting that and getting these answers.
00:34:32.300 And I think that this is a deflection tactic.
00:34:34.260 I don't think that he minds seeing these riots, even if there is violence and he's putting
00:34:38.440 his own constituents in harm's way by encouraging this and encouraging resistance against federal
00:34:44.860 law enforcement officers, which, oh, by the way, is a federal crime.
00:34:48.500 And so, yeah, I think that this is again and again them putting politics above public safety.
00:34:55.860 And there's certainly no question. I have to ask this question. When I started the show this afternoon and I had a tweet up this morning, we saw that video.
00:35:05.520 Latin Kings member who was arrested. Our correspondents were there on the ground, field correspondent Kevin Posobiec, as that vehicle was being ransacked, as well as Nick Sorter there got the identification out.
00:35:18.200 But something that that that struck me that was interesting was this was a Latin Kings member.
00:35:24.560 And wasn't it just back in October that there was another Latin Kings member in Chicago, also in the Midwest, possibly the same branch of Latin Kings that put out a bounty on Commander Bovino, who has been out there so public at these raids?
00:35:39.060 Does DHS have any information that Latin Kings are perhaps targeting Commander Bovino or other members of ICE at the behest of the cartels?
00:35:47.700 I mean, this does sort of seem like it may be connected.
00:35:52.180 Yeah, I don't think I can get too much into that at the time at this moment.
00:35:56.760 I hope that we'll have more information for people as more details.
00:36:01.080 And we as we follow these investigations and leads, we just want to make sure our law enforcement officers are safe.
00:36:06.720 Commander Bovino is safe. But I think that you are connecting the right dots, Jack.
00:36:11.840 that these are who Governor Walz and Mayor Frey are protecting and emboldening is these violent
00:36:19.520 agitators. When you're saying, when you're calling for resistance against ICE, that's exactly who's
00:36:25.040 going to come and create this chaos. But I also think, Jack, it's so important we point out who's
00:36:30.720 in these jails, excuse me, who's in our detention facilities in Minneapolis. In the last five weeks,
00:36:36.040 who have arrested 2,500 criminal legal aliens. That includes an individual who killed and
00:36:41.840 murdered his three-month-old son. That includes multiple individuals who are perpetuators of
00:36:47.020 human slavery and human trafficking. Scores of murders. We picked up multiple murders,
00:36:52.320 in fact, just yesterday. And the list of individuals who have perpetuated crimes
00:36:58.360 against children, particularly child rape and other sorts of sexual exploitation against 0.94
00:37:05.400 children is just sickening. I don't know how anyone, Republican, Democrat, independent, 0.88
00:37:11.240 any political persuasion can be defending this and not wanting these people off of our streets.
00:37:17.720 No, it's absolutely horrific. Trisha McLaughlin, we're coming up on a quick break. I want to hold
00:37:22.060 you over because, and I want to say thank you, by the way, for the time here, giving us this access,
00:37:26.920 answering these questions, because these operations are so important. We understand
00:37:31.220 that you've got so much to do.
00:37:33.000 So thank you.
00:37:33.420 Be right back here more with Tricia McLaughlin,
00:37:35.560 Assistant Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security,
00:37:38.680 Human Events Daily, Real America's Voice.
00:37:40.800 Do not go anywhere.
00:37:50.580 Jack is a great guy.
00:37:52.220 He's written a fantastic book.
00:37:53.860 Everybody's talking about it.
00:37:55.060 Go get it.
00:37:56.240 And he's been my friend right from the beginning
00:37:58.080 of this whole beautiful event.
00:37:59.660 and we're going to turn it around
00:38:01.520 and make sure it's actually quite a good day.
00:38:03.380 Amen.
00:38:08.020 All right, Jack, what's up?
00:38:08.940 We're back.
00:38:09.360 Human Events Daily.
00:38:10.400 Honored to have on the assistant secretary
00:38:12.220 of the Department of Homeland Security,
00:38:14.080 Tricia McLaughlin, with us here.
00:38:15.820 We're talking about Operation Metro Surge.
00:38:19.000 And Minneapolis really has become a flashpoint,
00:38:22.120 I think, for our entire nation,
00:38:23.160 not just the MAGA movement,
00:38:24.280 but everything that's going on politically
00:38:25.940 the last 10 years,
00:38:27.140 the change in our politics,
00:38:29.660 moving from this, this more, you know, sort of uniparty to a populist system. It really does
00:38:35.700 seem like all of these factors and all of these pressures are playing out there on the streets
00:38:42.080 of Minneapolis. Order chaos. And Tricia, now we saw that Secretary Noem came out and said that,
00:38:48.460 you know, ICE is not going to be buckling under this pressure at all, that in fact,
00:38:53.100 operations will continue. What can you tell us about the progress of Operation Metro Surge?
00:38:59.660 Yeah, we have a job to do, and we aren't going to bend the knee just because we have a governor
00:39:04.600 and mayor who are encouraging resistance and impeding against our law enforcement. And just
00:39:09.420 because we have violent agitators who are trying to obstruct our law enforcement, we will keep
00:39:14.180 going. We know that there are scores more of criminal legal aliens who are still terrorizing
00:39:19.240 Minneapolis's streets, and it's our job to get them out with or without the governor and without
00:39:24.460 without the mayor. As far as progress on the ground there, about five weeks in, we're at
00:39:29.020 2,500 criminal legal aliens who are in ISIS custody. We've brought in more federal law
00:39:35.140 enforcement that got some news over the past couple of days. And why did we do that? We did
00:39:40.000 that because since we don't have state and local backing, our law enforcement officers are routinely
00:39:44.540 being impeded, obstructed, and assaulted. We need a way for them to continue to carry out
00:39:49.800 their lawful duties, but do so in a safe way for the law enforcement officers,
00:39:54.240 a safe way for the public. So we have those federal law enforcement officers
00:39:58.080 to help and carry out those operations and make sure that they're done safely.
00:40:03.720 Well, and I've seen that. And of course, there's been this talk, Insurrection Act. Now,
00:40:08.820 President of the United States came out today earlier, and obviously he's been tweeting about
00:40:12.680 this. It's come up a number of times, but he did come out earlier today and said that he didn't
00:40:18.060 think that he saw that it was necessary. Now, this is interesting because it almost seems to
00:40:23.700 me like when I hear just my analysis, but when I hear Tim Walz, when I hear these local politicians
00:40:28.760 talk about it, it sounds like they almost want President Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act
00:40:33.660 because they want to distract from their own complicity in all of these fraud programs,
00:40:40.460 the fact that they were the ones putting the rubber stamp on who knows, by the way,
00:40:44.760 how many millions and millions of dollars that has been stolen, by the way, stolen from the people
00:40:50.960 of Minneapolis. And by the way, the needy and disabled children, that's literally who they
00:40:56.200 were stealing from. And this guy was up to his ears in it. And that's to your point. That's why 1.00
00:41:00.580 he's not running again. No, exactly. I mean, just a couple of weeks ago, Tim Walls was in the worst
00:41:06.900 PR crisis probably of his political career. And now two weeks later, he really is using this as
00:41:14.360 a deflection point. I don't think he minds seeing the violence on the ground. I think that he does
00:41:20.420 see it as a distraction, as a distraction from the $9 billion plus that has been stolen, that
00:41:27.800 the American people has been stolen blind from. I mean, to your point, Jack, who was this taken
00:41:34.860 from? Was the most vulnerable Americans among us, the disabled children, parents who live in
00:41:42.700 poverty, American citizens who should have used this money and could have used this money. And
00:41:47.240 Tim Walls is saying, don't look over here, look at this. And so it's no coincidence that he's
00:41:52.740 putting out pre-recorded videos telling those on the ground to be resisting law enforcement
00:42:00.000 operations, to be taking out their cameras, which is really, I mean, volatile language. This is a
00:42:06.980 serious moment for the country. This is, of course, a very serious moment for the state.
00:42:11.900 And what you've heard from Fry and Walsh is just inflammatory.
00:42:16.280 I think what you've actually seen from President Trump and Secretary Noam has been incredibly
00:42:20.940 measured.
00:42:21.780 It's really been focused on the facts, not on feelings of the moment fleeting.
00:42:26.780 And that's exactly what you've seen from them.
00:42:30.840 And it's horrific.
00:42:32.640 We had Secretary Besson on here.
00:42:34.020 He said they are tracking the money, of course, working with the financial crimes element
00:42:39.060 there at the Department of Treasury, certainly working with DHS as well. Lots of overlap there,
00:42:45.140 I'm sure, because they're tracking these fraudsters from, in some cases, Minneapolis,
00:42:50.380 all the way back to Somalia, Mogadishu, Dar es Salaam, all of these places. It's absolutely
00:42:56.960 horrific, this level of crime, this level of criminality. And I just know this from my own
00:43:03.220 background in the intelligence community that, you know, the media likes to try to frame these
00:43:09.100 things as though they're separate issues. You know, there's fraud here. There's illegal
00:43:12.860 immigration here. But in reality, that's not how it works, is it? It's usually the same groups,
00:43:17.680 the same people. They're using the money to fuel these operations to get people in. So even though
00:43:24.200 we look at it as sort of separate vertical, separate funnels, in reality, in many cases,
00:43:28.880 we would see this, by the way, a lot when I worked in the Navy, I was in the Navy, for
00:43:33.220 counterterrorism and counter-narcotics, well, it would be terrorists selling narcotics to
00:43:38.740 fund their terrorism.
00:43:40.000 So even though we put those on different sides of the house, in reality, it's many of the
00:43:44.880 same groups.
00:43:45.400 Is that still the case?
00:43:47.340 Jack, I've never heard someone articulate that so well.
00:43:49.720 That's absolutely the case.
00:43:50.800 I often call illegally entering the country kind of the gateway crime, because if you're
00:43:56.140 willing to illegally enter and remain in a country, you're willing to break the law at large
00:44:01.540 because your first act in entering this country was a law-breaking one. So you make a great point.
00:44:07.280 But I think that this—what's happening now in Minneapolis, in some ways, is all a charade. It's
00:44:12.080 all a fugazi. This is what the mainstream media wants us to be focusing on. It's what Governor
00:44:18.240 Walsh and Mayor Frey want us to be focusing on. They don't want us to be looking behind the
00:44:23.380 curtain and seeing all the fraud that's going on. But your viewers should know those investigations
00:44:28.440 are actively, actively happening. We do think that we're going to be having some announcements
00:44:33.500 to make as far as the fraud investigations here in the coming weeks. We have FBI on the ground
00:44:38.480 with us. We've served Homeland Security investigators. As you mentioned, Treasury
00:44:43.260 has taken a huge role here as far as that white collar crime. This has been a whole of government
00:44:49.340 approach. So while the media is trying to convince you, hey, look over here, look at these
00:44:54.280 riots, we are still in the background working day in and day out on those investigations.
00:45:01.080 And now I also have to ask, as we've seen Operation Metro Surge, I noticed that it's not called
00:45:07.460 Operation Minneapolis Surge. Metro, of course, sort of a general name for cities. And so that
00:45:13.760 leads me to believe that perhaps it could be applied to others. Is that something that is in
00:45:19.040 the cards? I know there's some viral videos going out, Kansas City, other places, lots of ice
00:45:24.280 vehicles and parking lots. Anything you can share with us on that front? Anywhere where anyone is
00:45:29.500 breaking the law is going to be a target. Secretary Noem and President Trump have been very clear,
00:45:34.920 if you're in this country illegally, you need to leave now. Incredible, generous offer of the U.S.
00:45:41.100 taxpayer, $1,000, free flight home and potential opportunity to come back. But we're going to,
00:45:46.600 whether you're in Kansas City or Minneapolis, Boston, Los Angeles, Chicago, Columbus, you name
00:45:52.100 it. If you're in this country illegally, if you're committing crimes, we're going to find you and 0.98
00:45:55.820 you're going to be arrested and you're going to go home. Well, and it's as simple as that. By the 0.86
00:46:00.860 way, that's an exact point because people seem to think, okay, there's, you know, there's a third
00:46:05.400 option here because of course there's the option, pardon me, of going through the raid. There's the
00:46:10.020 option of coming in at the courthouse, but there's also a third option. Just leave. Just don't be
00:46:15.100 here anymore, and then it won't happen. Funny how that works. It really is funny how that works. I
00:46:20.540 think that's not talked enough about, because the truth of the matter is, of course, we're going to
00:46:24.280 be picking up all of these criminals, but it's such a disservice by these sanctuary city governors
00:46:29.880 and mayors. What they should be telling these people is, you know, this is the safest option
00:46:35.260 for you, and then you can look to come back the right legal way. What is a disservice that they're
00:46:39.720 doing to the American people, to the safety of their communities, and also to those illegal 0.65
00:46:44.820 the aliens themselves to encourage them to stay and to evade law enforcement, which is a federal
00:46:49.780 crime. It's as simple as that. But of course, because it's so simple, because the restoration 0.70
00:46:56.520 of order is so obvious, that's why it's obfuscated. Trish McLaughlin, by the way,
00:47:01.220 just before we end the show, I did want to add, don't forget the great city, my hometown where
00:47:06.480 I'm from, Philadelphia. We got to get Philadelphia cleaned up for America's 250th.
00:47:11.660 amen we're on it thank you jack god bless thank you so much trisha mclaughlin please go give her
00:47:19.760 a follower assistant follow assistant secretary homeland security folks this is what's going on
