00:00:30.000
This is what happens when the fourth turning meets fifth generation warfare.
00:00:40.540
A commentator, international social media sensation and former Navy intelligence veteran.
00:00:47.260
This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.
00:00:51.460
Now, look, Kamala Harris wants to slap socialist price controls on groceries,
00:00:56.320
prompting Donald Trump to name her comrade Kamala.
00:01:08.200
When you are strengthening neighborhoods, strengthening communities,
00:01:10.860
and in particular the economy of those communities,
00:01:18.460
If it's not going to be supply and demand that's determining how much your grocery store
00:01:23.680
charges you for milk or for eggs, it's going to be some bureaucrat in D.C.
00:01:28.800
You know, I think that there's a duality to the nature of democracy.
00:01:33.180
When it's intact, oh, it's so strong in terms of what it does to uphold and protect individual
00:01:51.660
Secretary of State Antony Blinken is in Israel attempting to help close a ceasefire and hostage
00:01:57.920
It is a trip that he says comes at a decisive moment for the entire region,
00:02:02.120
potentially, as he says, the best and last opportunity to create a path to peace.
00:02:07.180
Stages set for the Democratic National Convention set to begin later today,
00:02:11.540
taking place in the United Center Arena in Chicago.
00:02:15.520
People who live in the Windy City are already feeling the impact.
00:02:18.680
There are road closures and tight security, as you can imagine, around the venue.
00:02:22.500
More than 300 police officers from across the state of Illinois and Wisconsin
00:02:26.620
have been called in to help Chicago police with any potential problems.
00:02:30.680
Some businesses have already boarded up as a precaution.
00:02:33.820
Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition.
00:03:09.320
As you can see behind me, we are at the protest.
00:03:14.140
We're here, the March for Palestinian Resistance.
00:03:18.380
As you can see behind me, there are communist flags, there are communist signs, communist banners
00:03:33.960
And yes, we are here to investigate the rise of communism in our day.
00:03:40.840
Now, the mainstream media isn't going to be out here.
00:03:43.260
I haven't seen anyone from the mainstream media that's hanging out here, but we are going to
00:03:52.000
Ben Berklam, we are going to actually take you throughout the rest of this hour inside
00:04:07.140
Because we are fearless in the defense of our country.
00:04:10.720
We need to be fearless to defend our beliefs and defend what we stand for.
00:04:15.540
These guys, if we're scared of any of them, no, not even a little bit, not even a little
00:04:21.580
We've been around here all day and we're going, you're even past the show all day today, showing
00:04:27.380
you the truth that the mainstream media isn't going to show about the protesters that are
00:04:33.720
here today and about the fact that you've got the rise of actual, and I can keep the proof
00:04:42.660
I've got a, I've got a, I've got right behind me, right behind me, the red flag, the hammer
00:04:50.040
But you need to understand that that's what they are holding out.
00:04:54.480
And we're here to show you that we're here to show you the truth of what's happening.
00:05:00.080
So as we can see so far, things have picked off as a stage, back on the side is, um, Palestine,
00:05:08.020
some things that Israel is down with Israel, I'm not sure I can't tell from the side.
00:05:11.280
You're seeing a lot of flags of the state, the country of Israel that are here today.
00:05:16.000
You see a lot of flags from various different groups.
00:05:18.920
And so we're going to go through and kind of give you a topology, if you will, of the different
00:05:23.280
groups and different miscreants that are here on the ground.
00:05:26.880
I know a lot of people want to laugh about this.
00:05:36.280
No, it's here and it's real myself as your humble host, Jalal Postouba.
00:05:44.420
I will be here, Jalal Postouba, to show you and interact with them, hopefully get some
00:05:51.420
interviews here on the show from folks that are willing to talk with us about why it is
00:05:57.280
that they've come out, what it is their support, and what they're really doing here.
00:06:07.340
But you need to understand, this is the far left does exist in this country.
00:06:20.340
But don't worry, because Al Jalal Postouba is here.
00:06:25.360
I'm buzzing in my ear about the boring people at your office.
00:06:28.460
I'm trying to listen to the new human events with Jack Postouba.
00:06:32.200
Okay, Allah Akbar, Allah Akbar, Allah Akbar, Allah Akbar, Allah Akbar, yes, yes, death to
00:06:38.600
Israel, yes, death to Israel, yes, death to Israel, yes, yes, okay, good.
00:06:42.160
Al Jalal Postouba is here, live, Chicago, the DNC protest.
00:06:48.040
Now, keep in mind, at the far left, the DNC does not allow any of these people to go into
00:07:00.320
They'll use them to destabilize you and the middle class and people like that.
00:07:03.920
But they will not allow these people to come into the DNC.
00:07:08.100
If you're at the DNC, and I was on a Charlie show earlier today when we were talking about
00:07:19.980
None of the delegates will even see any of these protesters and these marchers because
00:07:29.900
That's a scripted Hollywood production you're looking at.
00:07:38.320
And see, the problem is, this is also, by the way, the reason that you could not see
00:07:42.340
Josh Shapiro was the ticket because they knew that if Josh Shapiro, a guy who served as
00:07:48.040
a volunteer in the IDF, was on their ticket, that you wouldn't just come in a protest like
00:07:56.060
And we know that just like in Chaz, where I was at in Seattle, going back in 2020, there's
00:08:06.700
There's some music, it's a little more downscale, it's a little more less played out, you know,
00:08:15.100
But at nighttime, at nighttime is when things really...
00:08:19.880
And so we're going to be here with human defense, with real-market voice the entire
00:08:24.820
time because we're going to show you the truth.
00:08:26.840
Look, I see Antifa medics are now up over here just on the side of me.
00:08:32.120
And so they've got all their communist flags out.
00:08:34.240
They're...because why would a communist medics...why would Antifa medics opt at an organization
00:08:44.200
All right, we're going to be switching cameras in one sec here.
00:08:51.260
We're going to...we're going to toss real quick here to a pre-reported piece, and then I'm
00:09:09.900
You who did not live for Jesus, your heart and your lips are false.
00:09:13.460
You don't even honor Him with your lips because your lips are doing shit.
00:09:15.720
I don't know if there's 100,000 people here, but there's a lot of people.
00:09:21.680
It looks like they're organizing in various groups.
00:09:36.020
I don't even know what you're going to call it.
00:09:42.260
Right there, you see the communists march outside the DNC.
00:09:51.680
Lagmar, Lagmar, Lagmar, Lagmar, Lagmar, Lagmar.
00:10:12.580
As you can see, we're going to try to get some footage of the other camera.
00:10:16.760
We're actually coming to you live right now by a starling.
00:10:19.460
So shout out to Elon Musk for making that happen.
00:10:22.460
And again, as you see, some of the things that have been messing up, you're seeing the
00:10:28.420
The quote-unquote activist guild, which is trying to block people from filming, which
00:10:36.020
We're working on gaining the opportunity to go live, by the way, and really go vote so
00:10:42.140
And I want to be able to interview some of these guys so that you will be able to hear
00:10:45.860
from their words who they are and why they are here.
00:10:49.660
So as we see this, we've got some guys going by.
00:11:09.740
And if you remember, all the way back when President Trump, and I remember this, in the
00:11:13.200
summer of 2020, held the July 1st rally there, Antifa actually came in, the same group, out
00:11:19.820
of Rapid City, drove a van onto the entrance of Mount Rushmore, where President Trump was,
00:11:28.480
And they drove the van up, got out of the van, put it across the entrance, and then got
00:11:34.300
out, flashed their tires so that nobody would be able to enter the facility after that.
00:11:39.700
So at that point, there was no way to get anyone in.
00:11:42.160
I'm sorry, I remember, because China Day and my son and my mother were all outside.
00:11:47.900
They weren't able to actually partake in those festivities on the 4th of July at Mount Rushmore
00:11:55.100
So again, you may look at a group like this and say, all right, it's all a bunch of soy,
00:11:59.620
it's all a bunch of nonsense, but understand, this group is willing to commit action.
00:12:05.220
They're willing to go and commit actions for their ideals.
00:12:08.900
They don't believe in the United States of America.
00:12:25.500
Chicago Police Department has been fantastic thus far.
00:12:28.620
I haven't seen any issues here today, any struggles.
00:12:31.740
There was a group, and they left before our show started here today, but there was an Israel
00:12:44.300
They were just across the street just past here.
00:12:46.500
They were out, and they were working very hard to sort of be a counter to this protest.
00:12:57.140
All right, we've got another side we want to play.
00:13:41.800
Ladies and gentlemen, let's go for a walk, okay?
00:14:30.440
Just because they're on the left, they are not here in support of Biden, they're not
00:14:34.560
here in support of Harris, they're calling her Killer Kamala, they're calling him Genocide
00:14:47.680
Oh yeah, I got that sign, look at the sign, Trump and JD are weird right there.
00:15:14.680
I want people to hear this a little bit, be able to hear what's going on.
00:15:36.680
It's all, it's all, it's all, it's all, it's all.
00:16:16.680
Now, can I ask you guys, we're with Human Events?
00:16:34.680
So, are you here in support of either the candidates or what do you stand for?
00:16:43.680
Give an interview because I'm not for any of the candidates, no.
00:16:56.680
What I mean is stop funding, stop funding the...
00:17:09.680
Peace, does that include Ukraine as well? Ukraine and Israel and all of it?
00:17:19.680
All right, and that seems to be what most people are here today.
00:17:26.680
Now, were you able to come out through Code Pink?
00:17:29.680
No, I came out actually with Socialist Alternative.
00:17:33.680
Yeah, Shama Sawant, who used to be the socialist city councilwoman.
00:17:40.680
She was the one that sent out the word that this was happening and we should come here, so...
00:17:49.680
This is like the coalition to interrupt, to disrupt the DNC.
00:18:07.680
We're here live, giving you the information from the ground.
00:18:12.680
These are influences, and they're friends of mine.
00:18:21.680
And the stage at the DNC protests, Human Events Daily.
00:18:34.680
We're interviewing people that are live on the site.
00:18:43.680
We're going to get those commies on camera today.
00:18:46.680
Commies on camera here, live undercover with Poso as we go.
00:18:51.680
Al Jalal Posoba as we continue this investigation of what's going on.
00:19:07.680
Can you tell us, are you getting a lot of Harris support here today?
00:19:10.680
Because I saw some people that were kind of against.
00:19:20.680
I'm from California, the Bay Area, Oakland, Berkeley.
00:19:25.680
So we came all the way out to support Palestine, but more importantly to support Kamala.
00:19:34.680
For me personally, my husband's over there drumming.
00:19:40.680
But we're both really excited for the Democratic ticket and what could come to the country with that.
00:19:47.680
So do you think that basically Kamala is more open to all of this than Joe Biden was?
00:20:01.680
I think they're probably pretty aligned, but I think Kamala can speak to it more directly to help people understand.
00:20:12.680
Because she's got that lived experience that Biden doesn't.
00:20:23.680
So, yeah, we've lived through a lot of different things.
00:20:39.680
But let's give him, you know, let's give him props for stepping down.
00:20:47.680
He took his ego out of the way and did what's best for the country.
00:20:53.680
Do you think that we'll get actual change now that he's gone, that he's left, you know, kind of he's left away open for a new generation?
00:21:14.680
My husband's with Code Pink, if you know that group.
00:21:20.680
A woman, a voter, a supporter of what Kamala and Wallace could bring to the country.
00:21:33.680
I was going to vote fight it, but I'm excited to vote now.
00:21:41.680
You were going to do the homework, but you had to.
00:21:50.680
He is the son of a foreigner who comes out and everything.
00:22:07.680
It's all about fighting as part of the old generation.
00:22:44.680
This is, what is this, hold on, this is interesting, this is interesting, reject APAC, not another bomb, a witness, and it's almost like a Japanese style.
00:23:11.680
Are you able to tell us what your demonstration is about?
00:23:16.680
We have a spokesperson back at the table over Yonder.
00:23:24.680
Yeah, they're right next to the bike path. I do say she's right now.
00:23:30.680
Well, I was trying to understand, it's almost like a Japanese style, it feels like.
00:23:36.680
Yeah, I mean, I can't speak that much to the details. Yeah, where is Candy? The artist is here.
00:23:50.680
Yeah, I mean, I can give you like, her handles and stuff like that.
00:24:05.680
And, yeah, I think it's meant to be poppies, and kind of like, oh, I see.
00:24:13.680
If you guys want to go to the next one, I'll make sure we get in there.
00:24:30.680
A lot of saying, a lot of complaining, but not, but not much marching.
00:24:36.680
Yeah, we're going to head back over to the meeting.
00:24:41.680
All right, guys, we've got a break coming up here.
00:24:59.680
Quick break, right back, undercover, at the protest.
00:25:24.680
We're always talking about the fake news and the bad.
00:25:26.680
But we have guys, and these are the guys who will be getting Pulisic.
00:25:37.680
We're at the protest, specifically outside the DNC.
00:25:43.680
And I found the communists over on their side, and we're going to go,
00:25:46.680
we're going to go chat with them and let them see what they're all about
00:25:51.680
and ask them why they're here, hanging out at the tree line.
00:25:59.680
And, of course, there's like three of us walking over, so they're going to be all,
00:26:12.680
You might want to speak to that guy over there.
00:26:21.680
We're a local branch of our international organization.
00:26:24.680
We're usually not the people who talk to Presto, so if you want to do a full interview,
00:26:28.680
we'll be with our friend right here, who's currently engaged.
00:26:41.680
These are some of our pamphlets that are republications of articles.
00:26:59.680
And we're dues-based, no organization, no large groups support us.
00:27:18.680
We do sell them for two, that that's the printing cost, and that's just that people can't afford them.
00:27:23.680
We'll have to see if the higher-ups back will let me have it.
00:27:27.680
But how's the reception been for you guys today?
00:27:29.680
Deason, I mean, there's a lot of leverage out here today.
00:27:38.680
Yeah, like someone was telling me earlier, we were just talking to some of the Co-Fing types, and they were saying...
00:27:48.680
Are you planning to carry another Melania sign like you did at the protest a couple of years back?
00:27:56.680
So, do you question the reporting of BuzzFeed when they post a text message?
00:28:01.680
Yeah, I don't know who you are or what you're talking about.
00:28:06.680
We're just trying to have a conversation here, man.
00:28:08.680
Yeah, well, I mean, I think it's good for people to know who you are.
00:28:26.680
I mean, we're out here trying to save down with the Democrats, down with the Republicans,
00:28:35.680
So, you're saying you're not here then for Kamala or Walls or Biden or any of that?
00:28:41.680
No, no, we don't have any illusions that they would save us or that we could influence
00:28:46.680
them to save us, because at the end of the day, we don't pay their bills, just like we
00:28:53.680
They have big financial, yeah, yeah, literally.
00:28:56.680
Like, they've got influence of money that is always going to make the decision at the
00:29:02.680
And that's why we're saying down with both parties.
00:29:08.680
No, we believe in international socialism, international revolution.
00:29:13.680
Just like capitalism is international, we believe that the revolution and ultimately
00:29:20.680
He was saying before there were some other organizations that you guys work with.
00:29:27.680
Any other international groups you guys are with?
00:29:29.680
I mean, so, we don't explicitly partner with an organization, but it depends on the topic
00:29:42.680
We believe that our political banner has to be consistent and can't be stained with,
00:29:48.680
So, like, the term is, you know, march separately, strike together.
00:29:54.680
But you are kind of doing a popular front here today, in a sense.
00:29:58.680
Why would you, I guess, why would you think that exactly?
00:30:02.680
I mean, because you're here with all the, you know...
00:30:04.680
With the people, I mean, are you a part of the popular front then?
00:30:11.680
I don't know where the, like, distinguishing line would be, but the answer is no.
00:30:17.680
So, is the goal here today to try to recruit then?
00:30:22.680
We understand that what we're gonna do is go in and stop the DNC.
00:30:30.680
I mean, I would rather them come and be like, wow, we should never do this in Chicago again.
00:30:34.680
And, you know, we should probably shut the party down.
00:30:36.680
But, uh, yeah, we know they're not gonna do it.
00:30:38.680
We're gonna have to build a party that threatens them into shutting down and pulls their support from both sides again.
00:30:46.680
Now, Tim Walls, he's taken a lot of trips over to China.
00:30:50.680
Uh, they said, I think, 30 trips over to China.
00:30:53.680
He's been someone who's actually spoken very positively about the Chinese Communist Party.
00:30:58.680
Is that something that you've paid attention to that you've been looking at?
00:31:02.680
But, I mean, the first thing is, is, you know, who cares?
00:31:05.680
China, they can call themselves communists all day.
00:31:07.680
But we call ourselves a democracy and, you know, a democratic republic, whatever.
00:31:14.680
It doesn't make it, you know, just Venezuela just banned their Communist Party.
00:31:17.680
So, it's not, sorry, not of super, a ton of interest.
00:31:20.680
But I will say the more interesting thing to me is that Tim Walls was the governor of Minnesota during Black Lives Matter,
00:31:29.680
And that's not brought up, you know, and I think that's something that people should focus on
00:31:32.680
and just a material truth that proves that this isn't gonna be a different administration than what we've seen in the past.
00:31:39.680
Well, in what, in what way should they bring it up?
00:31:41.680
Why should who bring it up? Other organizations?
00:31:46.680
So, he was the governor during the time, but what about his tenure should they bring up?
00:31:50.680
I mean, the fact that he, well, first off, he, you know, oversaw a system that allowed that event to even happen.
00:31:55.680
And then also the response to that event with, of course, like the National Guard.
00:32:03.680
Yeah, they came in later after being requested by the mayor guy.
00:32:08.680
So, I mean, that's the way you should point out is that he was overseeing the beginnings of one of the biggest protests we'd ever seen until Palestine.
00:32:16.680
You've got the top cop, and then you've got, yeah, this dude who ran Minneapolis, or ran Minnesota during the Blackhawks' Battle Uprising.
00:32:25.680
How, wait, what do you think of Jackson Hinkle?
00:32:40.680
I just, I'm like, I know you would be closer to that sphere because he's always on Alex Jones talking about Trotskyist.
00:32:45.680
Yeah, he's always on there, but he does like the MAGA communism.
00:32:48.680
I don't really understand how you put that together.
00:32:53.680
I know they have some coin they push to people and such, but they're Stalinists at the end of the day.
00:33:05.680
We want international, you know, we don't believe in the nation-state line.
00:33:08.680
You see, what I like about when I talk to the revolutionary communist guy is he's honest.
00:33:20.680
Do Kamala Harris and Tim Walz tell the truth about what they believe?
00:33:25.680
They'll have a platform thing on their website.
00:33:33.680
Again, both candidates are backed by big business.
00:33:35.680
Like, regardless, you could even put in some cool third party.
00:33:36.680
If they've got big business backing them financially, at the end of the day, what decision are they
00:33:51.680
You might have wanted to cover it a different way, but, like, they're going to say, hey,
00:33:54.680
you know, it's just the same with me and my work.
00:34:08.680
Not good history with communists and landlords.
00:34:22.680
The thing I will say that I appreciate about the commies is that the commies will actually
00:34:30.680
The communists will actually admit they want international communism.
00:34:34.680
The communists will tell you that they're not for Joe Biden, that they're not for capitalism,
00:34:41.680
And I will say that I do appreciate the honesty, the honesty from the communists to say, look,
00:34:55.680
And he said, of course, you know, I've always said, no, I don't know who that other psychopath
00:35:04.680
Then I'll just, I want to get an explanation and an understanding of who you are, what you're
00:35:08.680
about, what your beliefs are, and you can tell.
00:35:13.680
Notice that they're not doing the Popular Front stuff.
00:35:16.680
But I do see some Antifa types over here and the more Hamas types over there.
00:35:22.680
And that is what we are going to be seeing very soon.
00:35:32.680
Communists, Palestine supporters, anti-Joe Biden, some pro-Harris.
00:35:42.680
But you noticed that that was very identity politics based when we talked to them.
00:35:47.680
They were saying and she was saying, oh, I'm so, I'm for her because she's a woman and
00:35:55.680
And you asked her, what is it about her that you support?
00:35:57.680
And she didn't really have anything to say about that.
00:36:11.680
A great, a giant banner, a giant banner here on the ground.
00:36:42.680
So the Nakba is the idea of from the river to the sea.
00:37:34.680
Well, and if you could confirm where you were then, because I just did.
00:37:40.680
No, I was just trying to make sure that you were who you were.
00:37:53.680
So you're not just going to tell me who you are.
00:38:14.680
The reason we have to be out here demanding the basic rights.
00:38:20.680
No, I'm just wearing a mask because I'm actually trying to feel a little bit.
00:38:25.680
I had a little thing earlier, but now I feel better.
00:38:32.680
She said they're starting to get a bunch of patients.
00:38:39.680
Make sure you get tested and try to stop spreading.
00:38:51.680
I heard you came to my table right after I left.
00:38:55.680
It's so crazy because you were tweeting about me after I had said I was at that table.
00:39:03.680
Remember I said how your kids and your nanny chased me?
00:39:11.680
I do remember some psychopath harassing my children.
00:39:16.680
I asked your child if he wanted water because it was 100 degrees.
00:39:21.680
I asked them if they wanted water because they looked neglected.
00:39:59.680
So you hang out with people who harass my children?
00:40:03.680
I've not heard of anybody harassing your children.
00:40:12.680
So I've got an actual story, and then I've got nothing.
00:40:15.680
So you've got a psychopath who is harassing children and saying things like...
00:40:32.680
I'm getting paid by George Soros to have an abortion on the stage with no drugs.
00:40:53.680
There's pills, there's tools, there's a number of ways.
00:40:57.680
So a normal person would think that they would use tools, right?
00:41:02.680
Like if I took a pill that takes several days and nothing happens, you won't see anything.
00:41:07.680
So you should probably study how female anatomy works since you have children that you neglect.
00:41:12.680
When I grew up in the hood, I rolled with bloods.
00:41:17.680
You can't be listening to all that slappy, whack, trimatazole, it's a bam ship, nippy,
00:41:22.680
bam, bam, like human events with Jack Posobiec.
00:41:25.680
Are you upset because you couldn't get into the abortion van on time?
00:41:32.680
Because I understand they ran, they said they ran out of pills.
00:41:39.680
Why would I need an abortion if I'm not going to have any sex?
00:41:43.680
Great, so are you so upset because you couldn't get into the abortion van?
00:41:46.680
Because you couldn't get into the abortion van on time.
00:41:48.680
That it's causing you this mental distress and anguish.
00:41:51.680
I don't understand why we need into the abortion van.
00:41:53.680
Oh, because you're with the guys with the vasectomies.
00:42:35.680
Oh, I'm just here to testify to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
00:42:52.680
Well, so she harassed my children in Philadelphia and came up to them and started screaming at
00:43:00.680
my kids and then started yelling at me and then the other one came up and started screaming
00:43:06.680
curses and all this other stuff and calls herself a reporter but, I mean, you saw the type of
00:43:19.680
I mean, we got a bunch of language that we're probably going to have to cut there a little
00:43:22.680
bit or at least bleep over just because of the way it was set up.
00:44:27.680
I mean, you got a pretty provocative flag here, wouldn't you say?
00:44:30.680
five anything to say what brings you out today um you know what's anything all right well that's
00:44:39.720
your right i mean you got a pretty provocative flag here wouldn't you say but i like your pin
00:44:44.520
though catchy hot that's pretty cool and then what you've got ussr pin is that a real hat from like
00:44:53.640
or like that you got from over there was it was it poland at the time no we're from some village
00:45:15.720
a lot of commies we love the commies all right come on let's check it out
00:45:23.640
this is the this is the best they have for us folks the best they have are the shrill abortion
00:45:49.080
demons sending out at me like that's that's the best they've got today of all the people
00:45:54.920
that are here the best they have are the abortion demons who want to run up after me screaming
00:46:01.320
insane profanities yelling uh i mean you've heard all of it and again you know i haven't put words
00:46:09.720
in anybody's mouth here today i haven't forced anyone to say anything today i've asked questions
00:46:15.400
and i've had let people answer the way they want to answer and then you see what the
00:46:20.120
what the abortion demons do and they do this because they are haunted by their abortion uh
00:46:26.040
their abortion histories and of course we have that again again and again and again our friend
00:46:33.160
from slate is back he's here he's hanging out and they want to see what's going on
00:46:38.120
well we're actually live just so you know all right uh so what's your experience been here so
00:46:46.920
far well i think it's been a little tame to be honest you know we were we were expecting a little
00:46:53.000
bit more of a raucous atmosphere and it's it's been it's been quiet maybe it's because the heat i'm not
00:46:57.560
sure yeah do you feel like uh the conversations you've had have been like sensible or kind of crazy or
00:47:03.000
what uh mostly sensible yeah uh what kind of things have you been hearing generally well you know so
00:47:09.080
it's interesting to track one of the things i've been asking about is are there people who here who
00:47:14.840
support this who also support harris versus people who don't support harris and so you i would say it's
00:47:22.120
about 50 50 so just of who i've talked to and that obviously isn't everyone who's here obviously there's
00:47:27.480
a lot of signs that are anti-harris or anti-biden but we've we have found some people who say no we're
00:47:32.840
for harris that are out here today they want to vote for her um some of the code pink types were
00:47:37.880
saying that we think it's a um you know a new generation and that's what she's part of but
00:47:43.000
we've also seen a lot of people who say oh i don't support any of the candidates and i would say that's
00:47:47.880
probably more the prevailing uh sentiment here at the protest do you feel like the characterizations
00:47:53.640
of this group being like a violent mob that police have to anticipate it for do you think that was
00:47:58.360
kind of accurate or i i haven't i haven't seen any violence here yeah neither but yeah there was like
00:48:03.320
a counter protest here a little bit earlier people waving israeli flags and there are actually
00:48:07.080
people kind of going back and forth and having calm conversations oh well i saw yeah i saw the
00:48:11.480
people with the israeli flags but again i didn't see any violence yeah i haven't seen any today i
00:48:15.880
mean anything you never know what you're going to expect you just you just show up and see what
00:48:19.960
happens yeah you know what's interesting i've been to like black lives matter protests george floyd
00:48:24.520
protests the the crowd that comes in at night is always a little different so i said that as well
00:48:30.520
that you typically get a different you know it's like a day and night sort of thing day shift night
00:48:35.400
shift almost where in the daytime it's generally much more amicable and peaceful but at night time
00:48:40.360
that if anything were to kick off it would be it would be at night usually are you gonna hang around
00:48:43.960
for that oh i'm gonna be here all week nice you too cool ladies and gentlemen as always have my
