00:01:40.680 A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran.

00:01:47.280 This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.

00:01:50.360 Christ is king.

00:01:51.580 Yet look at who Donald Trump is empowering in his new administration.

00:01:55.580 This is not what people wanted.

00:01:57.900 I mean, forget about a White House cabinet. 0.95

00:02:00.340 Donald Trump is making it into a junk drawer.

00:02:03.680 Do you think you're being Kavanaughed right now? 0.99

00:02:05.240 I had a member, not 45 minutes ago, look me in the eye in private, just he and I, and say,

00:02:12.280 that's what they're trying to do to you.

00:02:14.000 That's what they're trying to do to you.

00:02:15.260 That's their playbook.

00:02:16.320 Get ready for more.

00:02:17.380 And they're going to make it up, just like they have so far.

00:02:20.460 Cash Patel, he'll make it out of committee.

00:02:22.740 I don't know if he'll get any Democrats, but I think he'll get all Republicans.

00:02:26.200 This morning, the New York Post reporting there were messages written on the shell casings

00:02:30.040 left behind on the scene.

00:02:31.840 The messages allegedly saying, quote, deny, depose, and defend.

00:02:37.300 The 2016 elections was like a turning point.

00:02:41.180 That was a moment where they realized, like, this is actually dangerous.

00:02:45.360 Like, allowing people to freely communicate online and say whatever they want completely

00:02:52.580 undermines the propaganda that they have been distributing.

00:02:56.240 Yeah, it was it was the final straw, because when Trump won, that was, I guess, both the

00:03:03.320 final straw and then the massive anvil that that collapsed any residual resistance that

00:03:08.600 existed within the national security state that we didn't need to do this.

00:03:12.220 Biden White House is discussing preemptive pardons for those in Trump's crosshairs.

00:03:17.260 In it, you write this, quote, President Joe Biden's senior aides are conducting a vigorous

00:03:21.700 internal debate of whether to issue preemptive pardons to a range of current and former public

00:03:26.880 officials who could be targeted with President-elect Donald Trump's return to the White House.

00:03:31.520 Those who could face exposure include such members of Congress's January 6th committee as

00:03:36.720 Senator-elect Adam Schiff and former GOP Representative Liz Cheney.

00:03:41.500 Also mentioned by Biden's aides for a pardon, Anthony Fauci.

00:03:44.980 All right, Jack Posobiec here.

00:03:47.720 We are live West Palm Beach.

00:03:49.740 The Human Events Daily Editions of Mar-a-Lago continue.

00:03:54.680 Today is December 5th, 2024.

00:03:56.560 Anno Domini.

00:03:58.160 As the show was going live yesterday, there was a viral story breaking regarding the assassination,

00:04:06.000 the apparent assassination of the UnitedHealthcare CEO, Brian Thompson, at the Midtown Hilton,

00:04:12.100 just outside it, in New York City.

00:04:14.840 That's a hotel I've stayed at many times.

00:04:16.700 It's also the hotel where President Trump gave his victory speech in 2016, his famous

00:04:24.080 victory speech of complicated business, sorry to keep you waiting.

00:04:28.880 I remember standing there right on that very sidewalk when President Trump walked by on

00:04:34.440 his way to give that victory speech.

00:04:36.760 Now, what's interesting about this case, and we don't know exactly yet what the situation

00:04:42.500 is, I said right away this is not a professional shooter.

00:04:46.280 He's leaving shell casings on the street.

00:04:49.500 He's doing it in full view.

00:04:50.880 He's got a suppressor for no reason.

00:04:52.860 He's on camera.

00:04:54.020 He's got witnesses, all of these things.

00:04:55.940 So this was clearly being done to send some kind of message, and which appeared to me

00:05:02.100 potentially to be either a personal or political or perhaps a mixture of the two type of situation.

00:05:09.560 We later find this morning that, in fact, those shell casings were left on purpose, and there

00:05:17.100 was writing on the casings that said, deny, defend, depose, words that echo the title of

00:05:23.840 a 2010 book called Delay, Deny, Defend, Why Insurance Companies Don't Pay Claims and What

00:05:30.620 You Can Do About It.

00:05:32.220 Well, boys and girls, if you go over to X right now or particularly to Blue Sky, you can find

00:05:40.260 all sorts of posts and tweets celebrating what this individual, this heinous individual,

00:05:46.520 did to commit a cold-blooded murder of a businessman who's married and has two children on the street. 0.96

00:05:53.620 They're saying we need to kill more CEOs. 0.56

00:05:56.100 They're saying we need to go after Elon Musk next again and again. 0.77

00:06:00.460 This is actual retributive violence that they have against their perceived enemies, and this

00:06:08.700 is very similar, very similar, this reaction to everything that we predicted in Unhumans,

00:06:14.880 the secret history of communist revolutions and how to crush them that came out earlier

00:06:19.640 this year that said the far left is going to start rising up and killing people in the

00:06:25.600 street and celebrating it.

00:06:27.320 And so we explained that these grievance, revenge fantasies are something that the far left absolutely

00:06:35.480 engages in.

00:06:36.380 It is in so much of their media, and you see this individual.

00:06:39.560 Now, we don't know whether there was a direct political motive, but the fact that there was

00:06:44.060 a political message left on the casings definitely is a clue in that direction.

00:06:49.420 And yet we see him with a designer backpack, designer hoodie, designer sneakers, all while committing

00:06:56.660 this heinous act.

00:06:58.100 And the far left is celebrating it.

00:07:00.860 And let me tell you something, folks, this is what they do, and this is what we told

00:07:07.240 you that they would do.

00:07:08.540 Unhumans, the secret history of communist revolutions.

00:07:12.500 We'll be right back with the great Mike Benz.

00:07:21.180 Today, you know, they talk about influences.

00:07:23.780 These are influences, and they're friends of mine, Jack Posobiec.

00:07:29.520 Where's Jack?

00:07:30.440 Jack.

00:07:31.680 He's done a great job.

00:07:33.180 Oh, man.

00:07:33.880 All right, Jack Posobiec, we're back here.

00:07:37.160 Human Events Daily, the Mar-a-Lago editions continue.

00:07:40.840 Ladies and gentlemen, I've got to tell you something.

00:07:42.260 We all know that the public education system is completely broken.

00:07:45.880 And that's exactly why President Trump has vowed to get rid of it.

00:07:49.340 And it's why Human Events has partnered with our latest sponsor and today's sponsor, Classical

00:07:55.800 Learner.

00:07:56.760 Classical Learner gives parents like me and you the ammunition necessary to fight back

00:08:01.700 against woke companies like Disney and the leftist Department of Education, where there

00:08:06.220 is an anti-God, anti-American, anti-human, anti-family agenda being shoved down the throats

00:08:13.360 of our children.

00:08:14.620 Well, how do you fight back?

00:08:15.560 Well, you take control of our children's education with companies like Classical Learner.

00:08:22.160 Classical Learner has made teaching children American values, real history, and how to see

00:08:26.160 through the lies easy, fun, and effective.

00:08:28.740 Classical Learner's books and courses on morality, the Bill of Rights, the history of

00:08:32.080 fake news, creation of the Fed, dangers of socialism, so many more, are empowering parents

00:08:36.580 to have important conversations with their kids and bring schooling back home and in the

00:08:40.760 control of parents, not the government.

00:08:54.580 knowledge.

00:08:55.160 These are the types of books and courses that every parent should be going through with

00:08:59.480 their children before bed.

00:09:01.160 That's ClassicalLearner.com slash POSO, ClassicalLearner.com slash POSO.

00:09:05.560 All right, folks, the Executive Director of the Foundation for Freedom Online, Mike Benz,

00:09:11.520 joins us now.

00:09:12.740 You know, Mike, I'm sorry, we're not going for three hours.

00:09:15.800 We're not in Austin.

00:09:16.860 I don't have the curtain.

00:09:18.100 But I got to say, congratulations to you, brother, on that fantastic Joe Rogan episode

00:09:23.660 that dropped just earlier this week.

00:09:26.180 Hey, thanks a lot.

00:09:27.240 I hope everybody got something out of it, and, you know, just, I think, trying to do

00:09:34.940 my part like you and everybody else, and thanks for saying that.

00:09:39.860 No, it's cool.

00:09:40.700 It's cool.

00:09:41.020 Now, I would say, though, you know, for long-time listeners of Human Events Daily or people who

00:09:46.820 follow the work of Mike Benz at Mike Benz Cyber on X, this was the basic, I would almost

00:09:54.800 call this the 101 level, right?

00:09:56.420 So you were breaking that down for the wider Joe Rogan audience to say, look, these are

00:10:01.080 people who, yeah, I got a message the other day.

00:10:03.340 We were doing a show, and we even got an email in, and they said, what is the Atlantic Council?

00:10:08.540 And I was like, man, there are people that still, even at this point, you've got to go

00:10:13.560 back to basics.

00:10:14.960 And I thought that that was great the way that you did that on the show.

00:10:18.400 You just walked, you walked Rogan, and, you know, by way of proxy, his entire large audience

00:10:25.940 there through all of the basics that people have to understand to know how to understand

00:10:32.040 the news when they watch the news.

00:10:34.160 So when you look at Russia, Ukraine, when you look at the Middle East, that you can have

00:10:38.240 this basic understanding of who the players are so that then you can understand what the

00:10:44.600 chess moves that are being made are because you've understood the backstory.

00:10:48.760 And I just thought you did a really great job on that.

00:10:50.720 And yeah, every once in a while, I have to sit back and remind myself as well that, hey,

00:10:55.080 there are folks who still don't even, what's Burisma?

00:10:57.760 What's the Atlantic Council?

00:10:59.040 And you, you know, you think that it's been almost a decade that, you know, so many of us

00:11:03.420 have been doing this, but at the same time, it's, you know, you got people who may have

00:11:07.420 been switched on, you know, a day ago or a week ago, and they're just starting.

00:11:11.760 So you gotta, you gotta reach out to them too.

00:11:14.660 Well, thanks for saying that.

00:11:16.660 Unfortunately, you make my job easier in trying to explain the things like the Atlantic Council,

00:11:22.260 because, you know, as you are intensely aware, you yourself were targeted by the Atlantic

00:11:29.100 Council.

00:11:29.600 I mean, the defending democracy, a little bit, just a little bit on the, you know, your

00:11:36.760 name on the front cover of the target list of NATO's think tank with seven CIA directors

00:11:44.020 on its board and annual funding every year from the Pentagon and the State Department.

00:11:48.020 And I think it was what, like the March 2018 edition.

00:11:52.640 It has, you know, this spider's web of networks on the, on the front and the name Jack Posobiec,

00:11:59.600 dead in the middle, you know, basically being targeted.

00:12:04.040 And to me, you know, I, I remember I brought that up on, on Tucker Carlson a few months ago.

00:12:11.900 And, and, um, it's like kind of the best way to explain the evil is like they would go after a U.S.,

00:12:21.900 a U.S. citizen on the front cover of their censorship white paper.

00:12:29.020 So it's just, uh, it's just incredible.

00:12:32.080 But, um, you survived and thrived and that alone sends a message to everybody else that they can speak up to.

00:12:39.900 So, well, and I think too, that the way that we were able to do so is through, and look,

00:12:45.660 people don't remember what it was like on Twitter during the censorship regime.

00:12:50.660 Uh, Darren Beattie, he had a great tweet up, or I think he was doing an interview once with, uh, with Norbin Laden.

00:12:55.780 He said something, he's like, he said, I, I, I was able to be successful on Twitter when it was hard,

00:13:01.180 when he was under the censorship regime, when you had, uh, Vijaya in charge over there and she would ban you for anything. 0.56

00:13:09.260 And, you know, you used to have to kind of play this game of what you were going to say.

00:13:13.620 And, you know, you, you'd have to kind of shade things behind the lines or post a picture.

00:13:18.760 And, and, and that, that version of Twitter is like completely gone.

00:13:22.480 And I remember it was kind of like, it's, it's the way censorship works.

00:13:26.460 And, and, you know, you obviously have, have broken this down for people so well,

00:13:30.020 but the way that censorship really works, the point of the apparatus really is, and it's cliche to say 1984,

00:13:35.960 but it's, it's, it's the goal that you will love big brother because the censor ultimately comes into your own mind

00:13:43.520 and it sits there and it's you saying, oh, I can't say that because if I say that I'll get in trouble.

00:13:49.700 So you don't say it. And then eventually you don't even think it.

00:13:54.540 And at, and at some point the next generation who's never heard any of these ideas

00:13:58.380 or being exposed to any of these things doesn't ever have those thoughts to begin with.

00:14:02.860 And, and you've won, it's about the censorship.

00:14:04.740 The final stage of censorship is internalization of the censorship.

00:14:09.760 And this is something that we've studied through when I lived in communist China,

00:14:14.000 when I've done studies on communist Russia, wrote the whole book about it.

00:14:19.080 That's how censorship reaches its final form.

00:14:22.100 It's inside your mind.

00:14:24.040 A hundred percent are actually seeing something unbelievable right now in Germany.

00:14:29.780 Someone was just arrested for suggesting that a sitting politician hates free speech there.

00:14:37.240 So in that case, it's a very public message being sent to the German people that they cannot challenge their,

00:14:43.900 their politicians and that they have to self-censor about other, about the government's censorship.

00:14:51.340 So, uh, you know, there's, there's levels to all this.

00:14:55.840 It's, uh, tiramisu.

00:14:58.680 And very much is tiramisu.

00:15:00.620 And, uh, you know, you've got to, you've got to pass through, you've got to pass through, you know,

00:15:05.300 purgatory and, and, and heaven and then hell itself to get the, to the final apogee of the apotheosis of, of, of all of this.

00:15:14.040 And it, it, it, it's, it's amazing being here.

00:15:18.000 And, um, you know, I've been down at Mar-a-Lago and, you know, through the, the transition offices and, and having some of those meetings and see put together.

00:15:26.420 And what's amazing, and people don't realize this, but all the nominees over there, uh, Elon's team, Vivek's team, even Bobby Kennedy, um, Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard.

00:15:37.980 They're sitting there and the nominees themselves are conducting the meetings and Elon and Vivek, when it comes to this type of stuff, I mean, they will sit there across their arms.

00:15:48.940 And if they don't like what you're hearing, you are out, you are out so fast.

00:15:52.480 I mean, you've got to make a pitch because you, you've got these people coming through it with their, with their resumes and they say, Oh, look at my resume.

00:16:00.400 Look how experienced I am.

00:16:01.920 And, and then of course the first question is always, and it's not just them.

00:16:05.200 It's a, you know, sort of the, there's a lot of the Silicon Valley, uh, uh, entities and equities that have come over that have experienced this.

00:16:12.980 Mark Andreessen, I was talking about it on another Joe Rogan episode where they'll say, well, if you're part of the system, why haven't you done anything to try to fix this system?

00:16:22.480 And why should I trust you because you've been part of it for so long?

00:16:26.960 I mean, that's really the issue here, isn't it?

00:16:29.060 Um, yeah, and I saw an incredible statistic about the average age of Trump 2.0 nominees.

00:16:37.340 Oh yeah.

00:16:37.700 Yeah.

00:16:38.040 Yeah.

00:16:39.180 I, that was shocking.

00:16:41.360 I mean, it was like a full 20 years younger on average.

00:16:45.680 I think, you know, the average age or something around 60 for the nominees, uh, in 1.0 and 40 in 2.0.

00:16:56.180 And I mean, I think JD Vance is what?

00:17:01.680 39 and Vivek is, he just turned 49 or he just turned 40.

00:17:06.800 And I think Vivek is now 39.

00:17:09.200 I mean, there is, there is very much a, you know, uh, youth oriented reform oriented, uh, energy here.

00:17:22.380 And I, and what you just said about the energy at Mar-a-Lago with, you know, you get in and get it done or, or get out.

00:17:30.180 And, uh, that's the nature of so many of these picks.

00:17:35.880 I mean, putting in Kash Patel at FBI, who's basically said he wants to smash the business of his usual of the FBI.

00:17:46.600 Putting Bobby Kennedy at HHS when he says he wants to smash the, you know, in large part, much of, uh, what HHS has, has been doing for so long.

00:17:57.220 But, uh, Jay Bhattacharya at NIH, who, I mean, these, these are, Trump is systematically putting people in charge of agencies, uh, who have effectively sworn to, um, oppose what those agencies have stood for in many respects.

00:18:15.600 Which is totally appropriate because those agencies have gone rogue and they need reform.

00:18:20.200 No, that's exactly right.

00:18:21.560 I like that.

00:18:22.340 I'm excited about it.

00:18:23.220 Yeah.

00:18:23.920 We're coming.

00:18:24.640 I'm so excited, too.

00:18:25.460 We're coming up on our first break.

00:18:26.900 So I'll, I'll tease this for the next segment.

00:18:29.460 We've got a, you know, so Doge is coming together.

00:18:32.520 Doge is, and, and by the way, uh, we'll explain how Doge works.

00:18:35.980 So there's going to be the, the umbrella Doge office, but then there's going to be Doge nodes at every department.

00:18:41.740 And so when we come back, I'm going to ask Mike Benz, what does he want to see cut first in the federal government with Doge?

00:18:51.360 We'll be right back.

00:18:51.980 Jack Posobiec, Mike Benz here.

00:18:54.440 The Human Events Daily Mar-a-Lago Editions continue.

00:18:58.080 When I'm working long hours, I'm always listening to Human Events with Jack Posobiec.

00:19:16.500 All right, Jack Posobiec here, live West Palm Beach.

00:19:20.520 The Mar-a-Lago Editions of Human Events Daily continue.

00:20:26.720 You're going to love this thing.

00:20:28.580 It works so well, and it just keeps on giving all year.

00:20:31.500 I suggest, by the way, the collection that you can get where it's a different flavor every year.

00:20:37.660 It's sort of the Coffee of the Month Club.

00:20:38.960 You're going to love this thing.

00:20:40.200 So we know that today Elon Musk, Little X, and Vivek Ramaswamy are now on the Hill.

00:20:50.680 They are getting to work on Doge.

00:20:53.060 I believe that the Doge caucus, however that works, it's got some senators, it's got some congressmen.

00:21:01.480 They're all going to be working together on the Hill, supposedly, with Vivek and Elon.

00:21:08.100 We're going to see how that shakes out today.

00:21:09.760 But, Ben, let me ask you, man.

00:21:12.760 So as a guy who has intimately become aware with the machinations of our government, as you like to call it, the blob, how do you go about fighting the blob?

00:21:25.280 What do you think would be – I'll put it this way.

00:21:26.960 What do you think would be the most effective thing to focus in on first, if there is any one keynote?

00:21:33.000 Well, you know, the nature of the blob is that it is so decentralized.

00:21:41.300 But if there is one keynote immediately, just because of the sheer size of the funding that runs through it in terms of the funding of Internet censorship capacities,

00:21:53.640 you know, a lot of people raise their eyebrows when I say this, because they're expecting me to say the CIA or the FBI.

00:22:00.680 But the fact is, is the National Science Foundation is actually the number one funder, especially on the domestic side of Internet censorship.

00:22:11.420 And the National Science Foundation, I encourage you when I say this and I walk you through these programs I'm about to lay out here,

00:22:18.880 that you don't think of the National Science Foundation as being the name that comes to mind when you hear the phrase science.

00:22:26.920 The National Science Foundation is the civilian arm of DARPA.

00:22:31.300 It is a defense-oriented civilian foundation.

00:22:37.640 It's got a 15% mandatory quota and it's charter for national security.

00:22:44.380 DARPA administers – this is essentially where dual-use military technology gets transferred over to the civilian commercial realm.

00:22:54.580 So, for example, the Internet itself was a DARPA creation and then it was transferred over to the National Science Foundation for the rollout to civilians for the World Wide Web.

00:23:06.100 Many such cases with this.

00:23:08.120 And so the National Science Foundation is essentially a cover in the same way that USAID is often for intelligence work for the kind of civilian projects that the military wants to do but can't get caught doing.

00:23:25.240 Because it would look sick and twisted if the Pentagon was directly giving so much money to social media censorship projects targeting U.S. citizens.

00:23:36.140 So instead, they walk down the street against the National Science Foundation to do it.

00:23:40.040 There's two programs that total about $100 million in pure funding for domestic social media censorship that can be cut right away and do an unbelievable amount of damage to the censorship beast.

00:23:55.980 One of them is called the Secure Trust in Cyberspace Program, which is a program to academic universities to do disinformation studies research.

00:24:13.980 And this is tens of millions of dollars that go to a sprawling web of U.S. colleges and universities so that they can do full-time censorship work, mapping what you and I tweet about, pressuring social media companies to take our posts down, creating nudges in the algorithms in order to tune down the keywords or political ideas that we're expressing.

00:24:41.560 Sort of a, you know, sort of a, you know, to play mad scientist and to fine tune the science of censorship.

00:24:48.780 And that's every major university in the country right now is a grant through that National Science Foundation program.

00:24:54.680 Harvard, MIT, Berkeley, Brown, George Washington University, University of Washington, University of Texas, Austin, you name it.

00:25:08.840 I mean, there's, there's, you know, over 60 of these.

00:25:12.500 And then there's also another National Science Foundation program called the Convergence Accelerator Track F program, which is a censorship program at the National Science Foundation, which doesn't just fund the research, like the Secure Trust in Cyberspace program,

00:25:29.060 but it actually funds AI technology tools that will do the censorship scanning and banning more efficiently, essentially funding the science of AI censorship.

00:25:42.240 I actually played a few clips from that program on the Joe Rogan show this week, that, that company, that, that wise decks clip about halfway through the internet, halfway through the interview was, was funded by the National Science Foundation's Track F program.

00:25:59.060 And that's another several tens of millions of dollars in funding.

00:26:03.120 So you knock out about a hundred million dollars of censorship, military capital, essentially, in the same way that, you know, the U.S. government sanctions foreign countries to economically cripple them,

00:26:17.360 to stop their warfighting capacities in, when, in the context of a hot war, that's the mentality Doge has to have about things like internet freedom.

00:26:29.180 Every dollar that flows from the U.S. government to someone who's pledged to use that money to censor U.S. citizens, despite having, ostensibly, First Amendment protection,

00:26:40.420 that is, that is, that should have been ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, who completely goofed the Murthy-Missouri decision.

00:26:48.120 So if it's, if we're not going to get that, that done by the Supreme Court, it should be done by the Supreme Doge.

00:26:56.780 And I love this. I think I, I, this is something too, as well, where, you know, you're, you're right.

00:27:02.560 It's, it's not even, you know, something that anyone has on their radar, this, you know, National Science Foundation, that's, you know,

00:27:08.860 it's one of these independent agencies that sort of just sits out there, like, like the, this is basically the, you know,

00:27:15.260 the non-medical arm of what the NIH does. So it's, it's the NIH for the other varieties of science.

00:27:22.640 And what you're talking about, though, is essentially the link, right?

00:27:28.560 This is the lifeblood of not just finance, but power, not just financing, but actual power between the federal government

00:27:37.240 and academia. And this is why you get these linkages between this public-private sphere

00:27:45.460 that seems to exist. And they'll say, oh, no, no, no, the Stanford Internet Observatory, or, you know,

00:27:51.100 the, the former Shorenstein Center over at Harvard, you know, we are not, we're not public entities.

00:27:57.040 So we can do, we can provide censorship in a way that the government cannot. And yet, of course,

00:28:01.920 they're receiving this level of federal funding and people know that they are federally backed.

00:28:06.320 This would essentially sever that link. I mean, you're cutting the umbilical cord

00:28:12.240 between federal government and federal power and these private entities, if you were able to come

00:28:17.820 at this. Oh, and we would never accept this if a foreign country did it. I mean, how quick are we to 1.00

00:28:26.660 say if something, you know, or, you know, if some organization ordered pizza from, you know, a local

00:28:35.780 joint and the, and the driver was Russian, how quickly we would say, oh, well, it's a Russian conduit.

00:28:43.220 And yet we have, you know, direct government funding of an outside asset to do the thing. The government is

00:28:51.360 either legally barred or there would be too much PR blowback if they did it themselves.

00:28:58.960 That is in the grant application. And then they step back and say, oh, well, it's not the government,

00:29:06.560 you know, I mean, so, but I actually emphasize this on the, on that, you know, Rogan episode this week,

00:29:14.800 when I played the state department and USAID and NAD joint seps program primer guide, and they have a

00:29:24.000 whole countering disinformation, uh, you know, guidebook on this, but I, you know, I played that

00:29:30.320 sort of Orwellian clip of the, uh, the worldwide censorship program being, being run out of, uh, state

00:29:38.640 USAID and, and the national down for democracy. And it went over, you know, nine points in that, uh,

00:29:45.600 in that video. And one of the points was that governments need to fund outside groups to do

00:29:53.520 the censorship work, to create this whole of society surround sound on sent on censorship pressure.

00:30:00.400 And because the governments have the money, but not the credibility, the NGOs have the credibility,

00:30:10.240 but not the money. And so you take the money from the government and the credibility from the NGOs,

00:30:18.720 and you mash them together because they don't want it to be perceived that we're just like China.

00:30:24.400 We're just like Russia. It's the government commanding censorship.

00:30:28.160 So they don't have the credibility to do that, but they've got the money and all of these

00:30:33.680 non-governmental organizations. They are independent organizations. Don't you know,

00:30:39.200 they're independent institutions. They're democratic institutions. They've got so much

00:30:44.560 of that lovely, bubbly credibility, but they don't have the money. So that's how you get these

00:30:50.640 hundred million dollar grant programs.

00:30:52.960 And essentially what it is, is a free flow of capital and a fleet, a free flow of financing to

00:31:01.040 the enemies of the Republic. And that absolutely needs to stop in a variety of a variety of vectors.

00:31:09.760 It's not just one umbilical cord, but that is a fantastic one to chip away at and to snip,

00:31:16.320 shall we say, we're going to snip the umbilical cord between government and academia.

00:31:21.360 Right back, Jack Posobiec, Mike Benz, breaking it all down to Human Events Daily.

00:31:24.640 And Jack, where is Jack? Where is he? Jack, I want to see you.

00:33:11.360 remiss if I didn't mention. So yes, I was at Mar-a-Lago last night with President Trump and

00:33:19.600 Steve Bannon. They got to meet. They shook hands and we were there for support of Russ Vogt,

00:33:27.520 who's going to be coming in as the OMB director. This was his organization, the Center for Renewing

00:33:33.840 America. Mark Meadows was there. RFK, Bobby Kennedy came by later for dinner as well as another of

00:33:41.360 individuals. There was a huge, you know, kind of crypto dinner going on in one of the other rooms.

00:33:46.400 But President Trump gave a very frank speech talking about Ukraine, talking about the election,

00:33:53.780 talking about Israel-Gaza, really just touching on a number of issues and saying that he wants to

00:33:59.800 get in and really start taking the entire federal government to task. And I'll just say this,

00:34:06.180 that I've seen, I've not seen him slow down. I have not seen him work any less. I have not seen him

00:34:12.220 in more tenacious and fighting spirit than I've seen him in the last couple of weeks. So he won the

00:34:17.580 election and he just kept moving folks. And it was, it was certainly great to be there with him.

00:34:21.580 Everyone's seen the photos going pretty viral right now. And so, Ben, when I, when I think about

00:34:28.040 the things that need to be fixed when it comes to the federal government, I also think about the,

00:34:33.760 the intelligence community and the intelligence community, obviously Kash Patel is front and

00:34:39.080 center, but there's also Tulsi Gabbard who's going over there as the DNI. And of course she's fighting 0.99

00:34:44.680 an uphill battle, maybe not as far uphill as some, but she's fighting a battle as well to get over. 0.58

00:34:49.780 There's this new hit piece out on her. And I, I, I don't know, Ben, what do you think? Does this

00:34:55.300 really going to stop her chances? Because apparently one of her former staffers said

00:34:59.800 that she might be a Russian agent. Why? Well, because he saw her once watching RT and she was

00:35:06.340 watching a clip from RT. So, I mean, that, that pretty much just seals the deal, doesn't it?

00:35:11.600 This is so maddening, right? Because what we have done, the U S diplomatic core and it's,

00:35:19.900 and it's war on RT is, is so insane and myopic that, that they do not see the decades of blowback

00:35:30.960 that this is going to cause. The fact is we have not declared war on Russia. Yes, there is a proxy

00:35:37.720 war with Russia, but the fact is, is every country has its own version of RT. We have our own American

00:35:47.760 RT. It's called NPR, uh, national public radio, which is funded by us, the taxpayers. Um, we have

00:35:57.960 dozens of them, actually everything funded by the U S agency for global media. That is a formal U S

00:36:06.360 government agency that funds media. USAID has hundreds of millions of dollars in media development

00:36:16.140 programming to sponsor media organizations to promote pro U S content. The state department

00:36:25.080 funds tens of millions of dollars of U S media development assets, the national doubt for democracy

00:36:32.160 sub funds, another tens of millions of dollars for you. This is part and parcel of all diplomatic

00:36:39.680 engagement. For example, the United kingdom, people are forced effectively by law to pay for their

00:36:47.640 state broadcaster, BBC. This, this war on RT by saying, because they are a Russian TV station,

00:36:58.620 that therefore every single thing is Russian intelligence. And anyone who's ever accidentally

00:37:04.800 watched an RT segment while flipping through channels or surfing the internet, uh, has to be

00:37:10.540 interrogated for potential covert links to the Russian state. So you're based, you basically walk

00:37:16.460 into a FISA trap. If your digital footprint shows you've ever RT'd, you've ever retweeted RT, RT, RT, RT.

00:37:24.280 This is happening to people. Scott Ritter and, and another journalist had their homes raided this year

00:37:30.080 by the FBI had their electronics taken out of their home, had their cell phone seized because they

00:37:37.340 once had shows on RT and because they have overt links effectively then to Russia because it's a Russian

00:37:45.860 TV station. They need to be investigated by the intelligence arm of our justice department for 1.00

00:37:52.840 potential covert links, just to make sure there wasn't anything else they were talking about.

00:37:57.400 You know, you're supposed to declare war by an act of Congress. We haven't done that. And in fact, just a decade

00:38:04.080 ago, um, president Obama told president, our GOP nominee that the 1980s called, they want their foreign policy

00:38:12.000 back because it was so insane to orient all of our diplomatic core and all of our national security

00:38:18.880 resources against a regional power in Russia. But then lo and behold, the George Soros network financial

00:38:26.020 interests got hit in Ukraine two years later in 2014. And then suddenly there goes, uh, our whole

00:38:34.160 philosophy about, uh, media being a free market competition between different nation states when

00:38:40.420 it comes to this sort of thing. But the fact is, is they are using RT as a, as part of a nasty get out

00:38:48.300 of constitution free card called counter intelligence, which is this idea that, that our intelligence

00:38:55.520 agencies are not supposed to spy on us citizens. But if they slip that word counter in front of it

00:39:02.220 and they call it counter intelligence. Oh, we're not spying on you to spy on you. We're spying on you

00:39:08.860 to see if another, if another spy agency from another country is spying on you. And so we need to read all of

00:39:15.500 your text messages, not because we are spying on them to see, uh, you know, just to spy on you,

00:39:21.720 but we're doing, but in the process of reading every single text message, every single email,

00:39:27.440 uh, all the bulk collection of the NSA, for example, how they were reading Tucker Carlson's

00:39:32.220 signal chats, we need to read them just to make sure that you're not talking with the Russians. Well, 0.96

00:39:37.800 along the way you therefore get access to everything. A spy gets access to if they were just spying on you

00:39:44.560 to spy on you. And by the way, just agencies leak that to the press. And by the way, when, when that

00:39:50.960 doesn't work, it's so easy for them to just go over to one of the five eyes partners and say, Hey Brits,

00:39:56.340 Hey UK. Hey, can you do me a favor here? I think this guy is, you know, I think this guy might be a

00:40:01.320 foreign agent. Can you pull that stuff? Cause I'm not allowed to touch it, but you pull it and then you

00:40:05.560 pass it to me through a five eyes transfer. Now five eyes is this intelligence sharing agreement. Well, guess

00:40:10.500 what? Now I get to read your text messages and say, Oh no, no, no, this, I didn't spy on you.

00:40:15.000 This was shared by a near peer partner. Now that's, that's such, that's such an important point.

00:40:21.060 There's also along with that there, this, this leaky, this leakage point, I think,

00:40:28.500 think really has to be emphasized as well, which is that they're reading all of your ordinary course

00:40:35.040 communications. If you are, if you've ever had any touch points whatsoever with RT, which was

00:40:42.520 totally fine for decades until, until this 2014 fiasco with Ukraine. But the fact is, is they then

00:40:53.560 also leak to the press here in the U S and to civil society organizations who frequently function as CIA

00:41:02.800 cutouts, I should know, like the Carnegie endowment, which is run by Bill Burns, the current CIA director

00:41:07.680 for seven years before, you know, I mean, think about that. Bill Burns never worked for the CIA and

00:41:13.300 he was made the head of the CIA. What was he doing for the seven years before he was CIA director? He was

00:41:18.740 running an NGO, but the NGO was all former CIA people working with, you know, working. You gotta love

00:41:26.840 it. You gotta love it. I don't even know if we've got, well, hold on, hold up. Let's look. I do want

00:41:32.780 to think about the Hunter Biden story, but I want to in the very next segment, right back. Stay here,

00:41:38.540 folks. What really happened with the Hunter Biden pardon? Jack Posobiec, Mike Benz, Human Events Daily

00:41:43.880 continues. Jack is a great guy. He's written a fantastic book. Everybody's talking about it. Go

00:42:02.240 get it. And he's been my friend right from the beginning of this whole beautiful event. And we're

00:42:07.780 going to turn it around and make our country quite a good day. Amen. All right, Jack Posobiec back live

00:42:16.160 here. Human Events Daily final segment, Mike Benz. So Benz, we were talking about the Hunter Biden

00:42:23.200 laptop, the Hunter Biden pardon that came out this wild blanket pardon. We talked earlier this week

00:42:29.920 about how here on the show about how that goes all the way back to Ukraine in the early days. But

00:42:34.580 let's fast forward a little bit to the FBI, because the FBI has largely been written out of

00:42:40.200 the story of the censorship of the Hunter Biden laptop. We keep hearing people say, oh, it was

00:42:44.960 just tech companies. Oh, it was just tech companies. Is that true, Benz? Was it just tech companies all on

00:42:50.160 their own? No, there was this, you know, incredible Aspen Institute tabletop exercise, Aspen Institute,

00:42:57.500 which gets funding from the U.S. government and, and, you know, does a lot of thought policy leadership

00:43:03.160 for the intelligence community, the State Department, even, even defense equities. And, you know, the FBI

00:43:10.940 obtained the Hunter Biden laptop at a, you know, at a physical copy of it since 2019. And once they

00:43:19.260 discovered that its contents were going to be published online, the FBI made a, you know, sort of

00:43:26.940 mysterious cameo at a fantastic, uh, foresight Nostradamus, uh, amazing prediction by the Aspen

00:43:37.080 Institute several days before the, uh, before the actual publication of the Hunter Biden laptop story,

00:43:42.720 where they ran a tabletop simulation on how to stop the viral spread of information online about a

00:43:50.220 hypothetical upcoming future leak of a damaging story about, uh, Joe Biden's son and a private gas

00:44:01.340 company in Ukraine. So only the FBI knew that that story was going to be published. And yet this web of

00:44:11.180 outside NGOs and journalists, uh, there were people, I believe from the Washington Post, the New York Times who are at

00:44:18.220 this Yoel Roth from Twitter 1.0, the censorship squad there, uh, was a part of this tabletop simulation

00:44:25.900 for how best to censor the upcoming story. Only the FBI knew that story was coming. So unless they, uh, are

00:44:35.980 tapped into some frequency that only the Lord Almighty, uh, should technically have access to other than the

00:44:46.080 FBI, it seems pretty obvious. The FBI told the people at the Aspen Institute, this was coming, which means

00:44:55.120 the FBI was spying on the journalists who were to, who were to be publishing that story and then taking

00:45:02.480 that the, you know, ill gotten proceeds of their spy craft and telling us journalists about it so that us

00:45:11.080 journalists and tech platforms and NGOs could swarm the story to pressure the censorship to be totalizing.

00:45:19.240 Well, and we know that that's exactly what happened because Yoel Roth in the FEC investigation into when

00:45:27.000 the RNC sued them saying that it constituted an illegal in-kind contribution to the Biden campaign in 2020,

00:45:34.120 he testified that it was during meetings with the San Francisco field office of the FBI that he learned

00:45:43.160 that damaging information was about to be leaked on the president's son and that this would be an illegal

00:45:50.280 foreign release of material. So Twitter went back and even Yoel Roth for as, as censorious as he was when it came down to

00:45:59.720 brass tacks and he was put under oath in a, in testimony in that lawsuit with the FEC. He said,

00:46:06.040 look, wait a minute. You can't say that this was an illegal in-kind contribution because we conducted the

00:46:12.920 activity at the behest of federal agents. There it is, folks. There it is in black and white.

00:46:21.320 It's, it's, it's amazing. I mean, gosh, you know, cash, we have to send cash, our spirit energy.

00:46:28.440 Yes. And he has to be surrounded by a chief of staff who is rock solid by a, by a deputy director

00:46:37.400 of the FBI who is rock solid cash is going, there's going to be knives out for him and he is going to

00:46:44.120 need a squad, a coalition, a network within the FBI who is ideologically on board, who is on board in

00:46:54.280 terms of the energy to fight. Um, because, you know, the FBI is, is where all the energy from this out,

00:47:02.840 these outside networks get, you know, get the actual points on their spear. It's, uh, to actually,

00:47:10.120 you know, do that damage to, you know, to seize people's cell phones, to put them under investigation,

00:47:16.440 to terrorize them and raid their homes, uh, to create BS concoctions. I mean, never forget,

00:47:23.640 it was Peter, Peter Strzok at the FBI who created that, you know, who said, no, no, no,

00:47:29.560 we'll stop Donald Trump from being inaugurated. We'll, uh, we'll create an insurance policy to make

00:47:35.160 sure it doesn't happen. And of course, what was Peter Strzok's role? Well, he was the head of

00:47:39.480 counterintelligence, which is this exact same predicate that they're using on Tulsi Gabbard,

00:47:46.440 that they, that they're using on Kash Patel. I think Benny Johnson and Steve Friend just reported

00:47:51.880 yesterday that the FBI is, uh, opening up counterintelligence investigations into cash,

00:47:58.040 which is, you know, what we just covered earlier in this conversation. That's always how they do it.

00:48:03.320 That's how they went after Martin Luther King, by the way, and, you know, a lot of the, the COINTELPRO

00:48:07.960 stuff back when the left was presenting an anti-war voice. And whatever your thoughts are on MLK,

00:48:14.680 the fact is, is, you know, the, the record of the FBI effectively, you know, terrorizing him through

00:48:21.160 the, you know, the, the threat letters, the, all the COINTELPRO tactics, how did they get that break

00:48:27.080 in the first place? We've seen that this has been their MO for a long, long time using, and they use

00:48:33.880 the ability of their counterintelligence program to then throw this, these smears. That's why,

00:48:40.200 by the way, over and over, boys and girls, the FBI keeps saying it's, oh, Russia, Russia, Russia,

00:48:46.120 Russia. We know it's ridiculous, but it gives them the ability to open up these investigations

00:48:52.600 into you, into your cell phones. You get a warrant, you just lied to the FISA court, and you go, I'll walk

00:48:57.800 right past that. Mike Benz, incredible week, man. Thank you spending so much time with us. I know

00:49:02.880 you've been running around, even Austin and back and Joe Rogan, but congratulations to you, brother.

00:49:08.240 That's been an incredible week, incredible rise to see. You deserve every single moment of it.

00:49:14.520 Hey, man. Thanks. You too. Yeah. Keep, keep being the tip of the spear and we'll talk soon.

00:49:21.180 All right. Go follow him, folks. Mike Benz, Cyber, the Foundation for Freedom Online. Ladies and 0.62

00:49:28.780 gentlemen, as always, you have my permission to lay it short.
