What happens when the Fourth Turning meets 5th Generation Warfare? A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran, Jack Posoe is here to tell you all about it. President Trump travels to Greenland, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announces his plans to resign, President Biden announces an executive order that permanently bans new offshore drilling along most of the U.S. coastline, and President Trump doubles down on his goal to buy Greenland.
00:03:18.360Greenland, Panama, the Western Hemisphere.
00:03:22.400Why is it that President Trump has put these front and center with Don Jr traveling to Greenland early this morning with so many people talking about this all of a sudden with the Panama Canal sitting there being under control or certainly under the influence of the Chinese Communist Party?
00:03:44.800It's very simple, it's very simple, folks.
00:03:46.940It's something called the Mahanian theory of sea power.
00:03:51.240If you understand this, you will understand the moves being made.
00:03:55.920Mahan was a U.S. Navy officer and he was someone who operated in 19th, early 20th century.
00:04:05.420And he studied national power as pertains to sea power and he understood that a nation's power was directly controlled and defined over its ability to control the sea lanes of communication economically and also in terms of national security and defense.
00:04:24.920And so what are the key sea lanes of communication, the sea lanes around the United States?
00:04:30.640Well, prior to the Panama Canal, ships and including the U.S. Navy had to sail all the way around South America to go from New York to L.A.
00:04:46.500Well, for hundreds of years, even going back to the Spanish Empire, there had been discussions about perhaps we could find a thin area of Latin America and carve some sort of canal to fix this problem.
00:05:02.360But for hundreds of years, no European empire could figure this out until the United States of America came along and built the Panama Canal.
00:05:11.800And it was stated that the Panama Canal would be owned by the United States in perpetuity until Jimmy Carter and the Democrats gave it back.
00:05:21.080This is an issue that needs to be fixed.
00:05:23.520Greenland, on the other hand, let's go to that picture up the top, map break.
00:05:27.840These are the potential northern sea routes.
00:06:42.480Folks, did you know that seven banks failed in the last two years?
00:06:46.860And your money has 20% less purchasing power than it did just four years ago.
00:06:51.440Well, the Human Events audience knows to expect the unexpected, especially when it comes to the economy, which is exactly why we've partnered with today's sponsor, Allegiance Gold.
00:07:01.760See, Allegiance Gold has been the one commodity that stood strong for thousands of years.
00:07:05.680Through wars, recessions, and financial collapses, gold has stood the test of time.
00:07:10.940Because gold doesn't depend on Wall Street, politicians, or the value of paper money.
00:07:15.300It's real, it's tangible, and it holds its value when everything else falls apart.
00:07:20.120I partnered with Allegiance Gold because they can show you how to diversify your savings with gold and silver and protect what you have worked for so hard.
00:07:28.380Go to protectwithposo.com, and Allegiance Gold would give you up to $5,000 in free physical gold or silver to get started.
00:07:35.100Plus, there's no setup fees if you choose a gold-backed IRA.
00:08:06.000Look, Mahan understood that strategic geographic locations, like your choke points, like your straits, this is how you control maritime traffic.
00:08:19.380And if you control maritime traffic, you control trade.
00:08:22.440And if you control international trade, well, guess what?
00:08:35.060Why do you think the Suez Canal matters so much?
00:08:37.100Why do you think the Red Sea matters so much?
00:08:38.760The Houthis right now, off of the Strait of Babel Mendeb, off of the Gulf of Oman, the Strait of Hormuz, coming out of the Persian Gulf or the Arabian Gulf, depending on your flavor there, all the way down to the Straits of Malacca, cutting through Singapore into China.
00:08:56.400Look, why is Singapore a global power?
00:09:00.740Why did Hong Kong become an international power?
00:09:04.380Because it sits right at the mouth of the Pearl River Delta.
00:09:08.060Why did New York City become an international power the way it did?
00:09:11.840Because it became the finance capital of where the Erie Canal met with the Hudson and where all the manufacturing of the central cities, so the Midwest, was able to come out and then hit the Atlantic.
00:09:46.860It was because of Mahan's writings that the Panama Canal was even built in the first place.
00:09:51.840This is actually something that's very well known.
00:09:55.000These theories were considered very influential in the arms race for World War I, as well as the buildup of the Japanese Navy going into World War II.
00:10:05.480And, of course, we saw how powerful Japan was by having an incredibly strong Navy.
00:10:10.060Obviously, Japan is a very small nation.
00:10:12.160But through the power of the Navy, they were able to do so.
00:10:15.180And, no, I am not biased just because I was in the Navy.
00:10:18.920But that is also one of the reasons that I joined the Navy in the first place was because this was how I viewed the world as well.
00:10:25.520And it's clearly how President Trump is viewing this.
00:10:58.980And so, that's why if you really want to understand where money, where power, where goods, where everything else come through, you understand the power of control over your own sea lanes.
00:11:10.800And there's no question – by the way, this is a huge reason that China wants control of Taiwan because where does Taiwan sit?
00:11:27.100And that's something that I've always tried to stress here on Human Events Daily.
00:11:30.000I know we do, you know, the news of the day, but also it's just, you know, this is something that if you really want to understand how the world works, you need to understand your sea lanes and you need to understand your choke points.
00:11:43.480If you know your choke points, you'll understand the importance of the world.
00:11:46.520That's why the Houthis over there at the Red Sea right now are doing what they're doing.
00:11:50.840Because the Red Sea is the choke point into Europe.
00:11:53.600If Europe wants their oil from the Middle East, well, guess what?
00:11:58.420It's got to come up through the Red Sea.
00:12:00.280If they want their shipping from China, if they want all that, it's got to come up through the Red Sea.
00:12:05.220But if the Northern Sea route is built, then they don't need the Strait of Hormuz anymore or the Strait of Bab-Mandeb or the Red Sea or any of these things because they can go over the top.
00:12:18.020Not to mention, by the way, all of the potential resources that are sitting in Greenland and all the rest that are sitting in Canada.
00:12:25.460Now, I do want to say a couple of things on that.
00:12:27.780So I threw a tweet up on X earlier today that just before the show was saying, look, people are talking about, OK, does Trump really want Sir Trudeau's out?
00:12:37.460And do we really want Canada to be the 51st state?
00:12:41.520And I'm going to be first to say, no, not interested.
00:12:46.320It's not something – and it's honestly, it's just not something that it would make sense for the United States to annex or bring in in any way.
00:12:56.320Just too many issues on both sides, really just way too many issues.
00:12:59.240I mean, certainly we want a strong trade relationship.
00:13:01.820We should be Canada's strongest trading partner.
00:13:04.040And we are Canada's strongest trading partner.
00:13:05.800But we also have to understand that the balance of trade needs to be necessary to make it across.
00:13:11.240So whatever services that we can provide to Canada, what should Canada be providing us with?
00:13:16.680That's right, natural resources, the abundant natural resources that exist in the Yukon, the oil that is in Alberta, the shipping and the trade routes that are all available to us or potentially available to us, precious metals, et cetera, et cetera.
00:13:35.020So that's what Canada is able to get – is going to provide us.
00:13:39.640And then we are going to, in turn, provide them with service as well as, by the way, a nominal amount of military security.
00:13:46.700Because, of course, it makes sense to have a military relationship with Canada because that protects us from over-the-top threats potentially from China, Japan, Russia, or others.
00:13:55.740Now, when it comes to Mexico, look, I mean, there's just not much there that we're really all that interested in.
00:14:03.240But there is a huge security issue that we have with the cartels that are operating transnationally on both sides of the border.
00:14:09.880So clearly, a limited military incursion or covert operations, special forces opportunities – opportunities – activities could be used to take out those cartels.
00:14:21.640But I really think that's all about it.
00:14:22.920And also, by the way, the Gulf of Mexico – now, no more Gulf of Mexico.
00:14:26.880Gulf of America, it will be the Gulf of America.
00:14:29.760It always should have been the Gulf of America.
00:15:34.160Unfortunately, there could be some more issues with the Panama Canal.
00:15:36.540And I do think with the Panama Canal situation, it might require a bit more – might require a bit more leverage than just sending Don Jr.
00:15:47.920down there to get the Panamanians on board.
00:15:52.260That's okay because Pete Hegseth and others have lots of ways to put leverage on the Panamanians to make sure that the control of the canal is conducted properly.
00:16:04.240And, of course, we'll be making sure that we do that.
00:16:06.740I mean, keep in mind, I just want to double check and – producer Fahs, producer Russ, if you guys can check with me, maybe ask Rock.
00:16:14.320I don't know – how many aircraft carriers does Panama have in their Navy?
00:17:29.940Look, at the end of the day, it's about actually benefiting the American people.
00:17:35.620If we can get the trade picture right – and in addition to all of this, by the way, it's going to be Dr. Peter Navarro and his understanding of the balance of trade.
00:17:43.240If we control this, and if we can fix this, and if we can really reset the balance of trade, then we are going to be able to absolutely deliver incredible, incredible change for the American people.
00:19:49.480You know, when it really comes down to the economic model of these things, that's why it shows you the difference between President Trump's and his way of thinking,
00:19:59.860and really the MAGA movement's way of thinking, as opposed to just all of these other 2005-style establishment Republicans that sit out there and they say,
00:20:10.700oh, well, you know, America's great because we're winning the war in the Middle East, or we're going to go help the Taliban.
00:20:17.140You know, there's even people right now arguing that we should go back to Afghanistan, and they're saying, oh, we need to go back to Afghanistan to go fight the Taliban some more.
00:20:27.760It's like, I feel like there's people in some of these communities out there that just get so absolutely, like, they've been fighting one war for so long that the minute that it turns off,
00:20:39.360and you realize that, you know, it turns out that we probably didn't have to do that.
00:20:44.820We probably didn't have to spend that much time and treasure and people there, that they can't turn it off.
00:20:51.320They tell themselves, we know better, and nobody else understands what the way to do this.
00:21:00.420Number one, economic and national security in terms of what we just talked about here, the sea lanes of communication, your choke points,
00:21:07.180and then making sure that you have a strong military to defend yourselves and also defend those choke points that are within your influence that are so important to you,
00:21:16.640particularly those in the Western Hemisphere.
00:22:27.260Then you've got situations where people bring in their imported ideology, like this guy down in New Orleans, the Bourbon Street Massacre, which no one is talking about anymore.
00:22:39.420And those guys will go and do these things, even though the guy himself was a U.S. citizen.
00:22:45.400What if, crazy, crazy sound, I know, what if instead of going to war overseas and conducting this policy of invade the world, invite the world, and having open borders, that we actually just have strict immigration to the United States?
00:23:03.640And if we have strict immigration to the United States, then we won't have to worry about any of these things.
00:23:09.240And we won't have to worry about these Rotherham-style grooming gangs, these child rape gangs that were going on in the UK, and all the rest of it, because we're actually putting the security and interest of the people who live here first.
00:23:22.320Someone who's intimately knowledgeable about all of this, of course, from Revolver News, joins us now, and his name is Darren Beattie.
00:23:56.600Darren, so what I was talking about was this basic idea of, you know, people have this background.
00:24:02.880Backwards, you know, backwards theory that, you know, we should be scared of American power or scared of using power to benefit our own people and that the monodoctrine and manifest destiny and these ideas are outmoded and outdated and ridiculous and, you know, probably racist, too.
00:24:22.920You know, even though I think most Greenlanders are, you know, are either Danish or, I guess, Inuit.
00:24:28.720So, you know, this idea is kind of silly, though, because we really are the only great power that doesn't follow these basic building blocks of a great power nation.
00:24:39.840And that's why I think that when President Trump is talking about Greenland and talking about the Panama Canal and restructuring or obviously using threats of tariffs and other things to about the threat of annexation of Canada to bring them to bring them in line.
00:24:56.300I mean, this is just how a great power used to act prior to the globalist era.
00:25:03.580There's certainly nothing objectionable about projecting our influence in any way that redounds to the benefit of the United States.
00:25:12.220I think the critical metric, which is a general one, but always important sort of guiding principle, is what we discussed in our earlier strategy session, namely, we should maximize American power subject to the condition that American power also redounds to the benefit of the American people.
00:25:36.120And I think that's one of the reasons that I think a lot of people will criticize the exercise of American power as such, when really the problem is the connection between American power or the connection between the interests and the successes of the major sort of institutional stakeholders in America have become increasingly divorced
00:26:05.500from the well-being of actual American citizens.
00:26:09.500And so I think the critical principle of America first is to reestablish that connection such that the victories of the American empire, the victories of American power, are also and principally the victories of the American people as well.
00:26:31.500And it's funny, too, because, you know, there are no nobody says that there's any issue of the well, you know, it's funny that people say, well, there's no issue of the United States operating in the Red Sea or the United States operating in the Persian Gulf.
00:26:45.500All of all of all of a sudden, when President Trump says, oh, well, what about the Gulf of Mexico?
00:26:54.440Suddenly, Democrats are like jumping all over themselves to say, oh, well, well, we can't do any of that.
00:27:01.480I mean, it's it's amazing how so many people on on both sides, I guess, either simply just have this knee jerk response to attack something because it's it's a Trump thing.
00:27:11.520But I think there's even people on our side who just don't understand how the basic economics of the world work.
00:27:18.820Yeah, I think that's correct to the extent that I see it again, I think people have responded to the disconnect between the victories of American power, the supremacy of America geopolitically, the disconnect between that and standard of living conditions for American citizens, well being of American workers and middle class.
00:27:45.340Those two things being divorced, I think, has encouraged criticism of American power as such, whether it be projected overseas or projected in our own hemisphere, which obviously makes a lot more sense.
00:28:06.940But in either case, I think there's almost a knee jerk criticism that results from this sense that the victories of America geopolitically, the victories of American empire are not the victories of the American people.
00:28:22.580And so the critical principle going forward, the critical principle of America first has to be to reestablish that connection so the American people know that they're going to be benefiting.
00:28:37.560And these actions aren't simply lining the pocket of various stakeholder interests who have expressed very little but hostility toward the American people.
00:28:46.920And that's it's really as simple as that. So we're talking about ways to actually improve the standard of living of the American people.
00:28:56.760And by the way, that doesn't just mean, you know, big screen Chinese TVs in in every room in your house.
00:29:04.600And I remember there was a certain conservative commentator who kept trying to say, well, we need globalism because that's how we get our cheap TVs.
00:29:11.340And and big screen TVs came down in price. And it's like, yeah, but look at the impact on wages.
00:29:17.460Look at the impact on home buying. Look at the fact that I had a guy in a Twitter space not long ago.
00:29:24.600And, you know, he was a nice enough guy, but he was telling me that he had fired all the Americans that worked for him so he could bring in immigrants.
00:29:31.720And I said, well, don't you think that's going to slash wages? And he said, well, I pay him the same wages.
00:29:36.200And I said, yeah, you probably paid them very low compared to an actual increase in working class wages and working class wages have absolutely stagnated since the 1970s, which, oh, by the way, coincides with the start of the globalist era in American politics.
00:29:54.620That's when the FDI relationship, the foreign direct investment with China began.
00:29:59.840That's prior to China getting this most favored nation status with the World Trade Organization, which, by the way, used to be something that the left and even Antifa were against all the way back to the Battle of Seattle in 2001.
00:30:15.020Stay tuned. We'll be right back here with Darren Dini.
00:30:24.620Jack, where is Jack? Where is Jack? Where is Jack? Where is he? Jack, I want to see you.
00:30:38.840Great job, Jack. Thank you. What a job you do.
00:30:42.460You know, we have an incredible thing. We're always talking about the fake news and the bad, but we have guys and these are the guys who should be getting Pulisic.
00:30:49.620All right, Jack Posobiec back here live human events daily, Washington, D.C.
00:30:57.140Darren, before we before we change subjects here, let me ask you just, you know, basic question.
00:31:02.180This this idea of controlling your shipping lanes, of controlling your sea lanes, how this has this creates so much importance for a nation's wealth.
00:31:11.780The idea is really what led to the building of the Panama Canal in the first place.
00:31:19.300It's how is it that we got so far down this globalist era path away from these basic ideas of power, these basic ideas of control and influence and how to benefit our own people that there are other than our program.
00:31:36.280I'm not even sure anyone else who even understands why any of this is important that's out there today.
00:31:43.800Yeah, it's a great question. I think, you know, there's been a variety of factors.
00:31:48.800It's not for lack of interest in overseas commitments.
00:31:52.740I mean, I think if anything, we've been almost too interested in various overseas commitments.
00:31:58.280It's simply how far overseas and what the nature of the commitments are.
00:32:02.740I think economic commitments within our own immediate hemispheric sphere of influence, that makes eminent sense.
00:32:13.600And so I'm very encouraged by the fact that a major goal of Trump's second term seems to be to reestablish American supremacy and American interests in the broader hemisphere.
00:32:36.380I mean, imagine being a great power and not controlling your own sea lanes, not controlling these vast areas of resources in your own backyard the way that look what Russia gained its power from exploiting Siberia.
00:32:51.280That's where they found these vast oil resources as well as the rare earth elements.
00:32:56.140So guess what? We've got the Yukon right there.
00:32:59.300And, of course, when Russia is looking at the Black Sea, when Russia is looking at these other various areas where they want to exert their control, they do so because it is geostrategically important for the interests of Russia.
00:33:13.260And certainly we should all understand that.
00:33:15.820But it seems like we're the only country that doesn't actually operate in that way.
00:33:20.380And it will just be hilarious to me for so long, especially when we've lived in D.C.
00:33:26.900And when I got to D.C., it was a time where people were just still, you know, talking about, oh, the importance of Iraq.
00:33:32.980The important Iraq is so important, the geostrategic importance of Iraq to us all.
00:33:37.720And now you walk around D.C. and I don't even think you could find anyone on either side of the aisle that could tell you off the top of their head who the prime minister of Iraq is.
00:33:44.900Now, that said, President Trump did, switching gears here a little bit, did hold a massive and really just barn burner of a press conference down at Mar-a-Lago today.
00:33:55.740And there was an interesting topic that he brought up in response to something that he was asked.
00:34:01.560He was asked a question about J.N. Sixers.
00:34:02.940And he himself went to a different spot.
00:38:23.880And the truth of what happened was so profoundly embarrassing to the regime, so profoundly embarrassing and in all likelihood incriminating to the regime, to various agencies and people associated with the regime, that it went from investigation very quickly to cover-up.
00:38:45.280And this is a cover-up that involves not only the FBI, but as we've reported extensively, the Secret Service, the Capitol Police, the ATF, and so forth.
00:38:58.100And so I think there were other agencies involved in the operation.
00:39:02.720The FBI found out what was really going on and proceeded to cover-up.
00:39:30.720You know, I almost wonder if he could, you know, bring in some independent investigators or appoint a task force to look into this and January 6th and potentially some other things that have been going on, maybe some independent auditors.
00:39:49.180You know, we know the Doge apparatus, I guess, is going to be still there with Vivek Ramaswamy, with Elon Musk, even though, of course, we haven't been hearing too much about it lately.
00:39:59.200But perhaps other elements of Doge could include investigatory powers and giving those appointees the ability to investigate things that actually went on within these organizations and then decide whether or not they should be able to keep their budgets unless specific changes are made.
00:40:19.920I'm just saying, I'm just shooting from the hip here, folks.
00:41:14.080We've been talking about changes that President Trump is making to our government.
00:41:18.880But there's also a big change that went on, and we didn't have him on yesterday.
00:41:22.780But, Darren, I just got to say, man, that January 6th was yesterday the commemoration, really, for that day.
00:41:30.640And I just have to say that you of all people were central to the shift in the narrative after the events of January 6th, 2021, to poke that perfect hole.
00:41:45.920You found that perfect hole, that tiny little hole in the mainstream media's narrative at a time when so many other people were terrified to speak out when everybody thought that Trump was done.
00:42:00.120You found a piece that you just kept pulling on and pulling and pulling and pulling and eventually unraveled the entire narrative to the point where January 6th just came and went.
00:42:13.380And you know what? At least half the people in the country just celebrated January 6th.
00:42:19.080And without doing what you did along with Tucker and we had Julie Kelly on yesterday, you know, I really think that people would not have viewed January 6th in the Fed surrection in that way possible.
00:42:33.940And that made a huge shift, which changed the course of history because it gave President Trump not – it took away the shame of January 6th, and it actually turned it into the cause of the Jan Sixers.
00:42:49.920And so kudos to you, man, for doing what you did and the work on the pipe bomber and so many others.
00:42:57.420I was getting into another video with Still Boneless on fence-cutter bulwark and really just so many of the other individuals that have never been explained or identified from that day.
00:43:09.860Yeah, well, first of all, thanks so much for that.
00:43:24.560And these are the kinds of things that people don't really expect in ultimate resolution.
00:43:31.160People think, oh, these just kind of things.
00:43:33.080Yeah, we've gotten to the point where any reasonable person can look at it and say it's a hoax, it's a Fed surrection.
00:43:38.760But there's some critical things like what exactly happened, who exactly orchestrated it, what exactly went on, and who are precisely the people we can hold accountable.
00:43:49.440To this date, I've only advanced one name that I have utter confidence as part of the cover-up, and that was Ashen Benedict.
00:43:57.960Ashen Benedict, also briefly mentioned in the Ladermick report as someone who's been on Cooperative, surprise, surprise.
00:44:04.400But he currently is the head of Intelligence and Dignitary Protection at the Capitol.
00:44:10.560I'm very cautious about naming names for a variety of reasons, and I'm comfortable naming him.
00:44:16.760But I'm also very comfortable in saying he's not the only person.
00:44:20.340For that additional 5%, we can hand it to Director Patel on a silver platter.
00:44:26.940Say, Director Patel, please, let's get that additional 5%.
00:44:31.080Let's get the full truth out there, cluing all the names, cluing the chain of custody of the surveillance footage at the DNC.
00:44:38.980Let's blow this thing wide open, because the pipe bomb thing doesn't stop at the pipe bomb.
00:44:42.980The pipe bombs were conveniently discovered independently within a 15-minute time frame, perfectly coinciding with that very Ray Epps orchestrated breach on the Capitol.
00:44:54.360That synchronicity means that the entire thing, from the Ray Epps orchestrated breach to the pipe bomb, they're connected as part of a broader operation.
00:45:04.000And we know that all of those agencies, FBI, Secret Service, Capitol Police, ATF, are all implicated in this, possibly going up to Kamala Harris, whose security detail clearly knew in advance that the bomb posed no threat.
00:45:20.660So this is sitting on top of one of the biggest scandals in recent American history.
00:45:25.260We're so close, and we're very much in a position to blow it open and completely vindicate all of the J6 prisoners, and really the millions and millions and millions of Trump supporters who have been cast as potential domestic terrorists on account of this utterly false and malicious lie of the January 6th insurrection.
00:45:47.420And so there's a reason they came at us so hard, the regime, the crooks, the filth, the criminals, the trash, and the regime have invested so much in this lie, shoving it down our throats every day for nearly four years.
00:46:03.840It's time we get the full truth, and we shove it down their throats, and hold them accountable, and set the nation and its institutions on the path toward restoration of legitimacy.
00:46:16.500That's what we need. We can't be a successful country if our institutions are not legitimate.
00:46:23.280So I think it's really critical, and I'm really confident and hopeful that Director Patel will take up this mantle when he is named and confirmed as the FBI director.
00:46:36.580You know, there's so many ways to go through and look at this, but in one of the ways that we've described in our book last year, Unhumans, was that this was always a strategy.
00:46:50.220This was always a strategy to criminalize MAGA, to make support for conservative causes, support for Trump.
00:46:58.700And it was also used in a way that you and I have discussed, Aaron, to try to excise Trump himself from the MAGA movement, saying we can get a new Trump.
00:47:08.520We can get a better Trump. We can have Trumpism without Trump.
00:47:11.720We can run on the issues without him, and no, it would just be completely ridiculous.
00:47:19.080Guys, I think I just lost Darren's audio again there.
