00:00:25.780 The Poso Daily Brief.

00:00:30.000 This is what happens when the fourth turning meets fifth generation warfare.

00:00:39.680 A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran.

00:00:46.380 This is Human Events with your host, Jack Poso.

00:00:49.920 I intend to resign as party leader, as prime minister,

00:00:54.580 after the party selects its next leader through a robust, nationwide, competitive process.

00:01:03.260 The Canadian people finally realize this guy has no idea what he's doing.

00:01:07.600 And unfortunately, his legacy, and these are harsh words,

00:01:09.900 but Canadians have lost 41% of their net worth during his tenure. 1.00

00:01:14.180 He will go down in history as the idiot king. 0.99

00:01:17.320 UFC president and CEO Dana White is joining Meta's board of directors. 1.00

00:01:21.940 I don't give anybody a leash.

00:01:24.060 Well, I'm saying you...

00:01:25.580 A leash?

00:01:26.880 I'm...

00:01:27.280 Like...

00:01:27.680 Free speech.

00:01:29.540 Control what people say.

00:01:31.560 Gonna tell people what to believe.

00:01:33.600 Gonna tell people...

00:01:35.060 I don't f***ing tell any other human being what to say, what to think, and there's no leashes.

00:01:39.760 So we built a lot of complex systems to moderate content.

00:01:43.360 But the problem with complex systems is they make mistakes.

00:01:45.920 Even if they accidentally censor just 1% of posts, that's millions of people.

00:01:51.880 And we've reached a point where it's just too many mistakes and too much censorship.

00:01:56.000 We're gonna get rid of fact checkers and replace them with community notes similar to X, starting in the U.S.

00:02:01.800 President Biden announcing an executive order that permanently bans new offshore drilling along most of the U.S. coastline.

00:02:09.780 The executive order is drafted in a way that would make it harder for incoming President Trump to reverse.

00:02:15.020 I've been disappointed to see the Biden administration's attempt to block the reforms of the American people and that they voted for.

00:02:23.960 The incoming president is also doubling down on his goal to buy Greenland, saying in part, quote,

00:02:29.200 I'm hearing that the people of Greenland are MAGA.

00:02:31.640 Greenland is an incredible place and the people will benefit tremendously if and when it becomes part of our nation.

00:02:38.260 So real fast, you're considering military force to acquire Panama and Greenland.

00:02:44.040 Are you also considering military force to annex and acquire Canada?

00:02:47.860 No, economic force.

00:02:50.300 Because Canada and the United States, that would really be something.

00:02:55.360 You get rid of that artificially drawn line and you take a look at what that looks like.

00:03:00.680 And it would also be much better for national security.

00:03:03.080 Don't forget, we basically protect Canada.

00:03:04.900 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily here live, Washington, D.C.

00:03:12.100 Today is January 7th, 2025.

00:03:15.600 Anno Domini.

00:03:18.360 Greenland, Panama, the Western Hemisphere.

00:03:22.400 Why 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?

00:03:44.800 It's very simple, it's very simple, folks.

00:03:46.940 It's something called the Mahanian theory of sea power.

00:03:51.240 If you understand this, you will understand the moves being made.

00:03:55.920 Mahan was a U.S. Navy officer and he was someone who operated in 19th, early 20th century.

00:04:05.420 And 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.

00:04:24.920 And so what are the key sea lanes of communication, the sea lanes around the United States?

00:04:30.640 Well, 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.

00:04:42.780 It doesn't make any sense, does it?

00:04:44.840 So what would make sense?

00:04:46.500 Well, 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.

00:05:00.000 It's all logistics.

00:05:02.360 But for hundreds of years, no European empire could figure this out until the United States of America came along and built the Panama Canal.

00:05:11.800 And 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.

00:05:21.080 This is an issue that needs to be fixed.

00:05:23.520 Greenland, on the other hand, let's go to that picture up the top, map break.

00:05:27.840 These are the potential northern sea routes.

00:05:32.980 Look at this.

00:05:34.140 You could travel overseas, potentially with the power of icebreakers and with the power of just a few more years of shifting in the north.

00:05:45.800 You could travel from Greenland all the way across to the Bering Strait and then all the way down to China and the Pacific.

00:05:53.280 This would completely alter the balance of power in the Pacific and thus the entire world.

00:06:01.240 You didn't think Greenland was about the Pacific, but ladies and gentlemen, it certainly is.

00:06:05.960 Not only the resources, but also the sea lanes.

00:06:09.380 You think Russia and China don't understand that?

00:06:11.660 Believe me, they do.

00:06:13.140 And who else does?

00:06:14.100 President Donald J. Trump.

00:06:16.180 We'll be right back.

00:06:16.680 You know, they talk about influences.

00:06:26.220 These are influences.

00:06:28.080 And they're friends of mine.

00:06:30.460 Jack Posobiec.

00:06:31.980 Where's Jack?

00:06:32.920 Jack.

00:06:33.900 He's done a great job.

00:06:35.340 All right, folks.

00:06:39.260 Jack Posobiec back live.

00:06:40.440 Human Events Daily, Washington, D.C.

00:06:42.480 Folks, did you know that seven banks failed in the last two years?

00:06:46.860 And your money has 20% less purchasing power than it did just four years ago.

00:06:51.440 Well, 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.

00:07:01.760 See, Allegiance Gold has been the one commodity that stood strong for thousands of years.

00:07:05.680 Through wars, recessions, and financial collapses, gold has stood the test of time.

00:07:10.940 Because gold doesn't depend on Wall Street, politicians, or the value of paper money.

00:07:15.300 It's real, it's tangible, and it holds its value when everything else falls apart.

00:07:20.120 I 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.

00:07:28.380 Go to protectwithposo.com, and Allegiance Gold would give you up to $5,000 in free physical gold or silver to get started.

00:07:35.100 Plus, there's no setup fees if you choose a gold-backed IRA.

00:07:38.340 The time is now.

00:07:39.060 Take control of your financial future.

00:07:40.360 Go to protectwithposo.com right now.

00:07:43.080 That's protectwithposo.com.

00:07:45.580 So I want to throw that map back up of the Northern Sea Route potential that you can see up there.

00:07:54.120 And I really want people to understand this.

00:07:57.180 But I also, and most importantly, want people to internalize this.

00:08:01.600 The Russians understand this.

00:08:03.220 The Chinese understand this.

00:08:05.120 You know who else does?

00:08:06.000 Look, Mahan understood that strategic geographic locations, like your choke points, like your straits, this is how you control maritime traffic.

00:08:19.380 And if you control maritime traffic, you control trade.

00:08:22.440 And if you control international trade, well, guess what?

00:08:25.000 You can control the entire world.

00:08:28.420 This is how the British Empire was built, based around these ideas.

00:08:33.340 The concentration of force around it.

00:08:35.060 Why do you think the Suez Canal matters so much?

00:08:37.100 Why do you think the Red Sea matters so much?

00:08:38.760 The 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.

00:08:56.400 Look, why is Singapore a global power?

00:08:58.620 Because it sits on a strait.

00:09:00.740 Why did Hong Kong become an international power?

00:09:04.380 Because it sits right at the mouth of the Pearl River Delta.

00:09:08.060 Why did New York City become an international power the way it did?

00:09:11.840 Because 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.

00:09:24.620 It's all about international trade.

00:09:27.220 If you control international trade, you control the choke points, you control the entire world.

00:09:32.260 This is money.

00:09:32.980 This is wealth.

00:09:33.580 This is finance.

00:09:34.520 This is the corridors of real power.

00:09:37.140 And President Trump understands real power.

00:09:39.920 That's why he's focused on all of this.

00:09:42.460 That's, by the way, you think I'm like, oh, why does Mahan matter so much?

00:09:45.940 Well, guess what?

00:09:46.860 It was because of Mahan's writings that the Panama Canal was even built in the first place.

00:09:51.840 This is actually something that's very well known.

00:09:55.000 These 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.

00:10:05.480 And, of course, we saw how powerful Japan was by having an incredibly strong Navy.

00:10:10.060 Obviously, Japan is a very small nation.

00:10:12.160 But through the power of the Navy, they were able to do so.

00:10:15.180 And, no, I am not biased just because I was in the Navy.

00:10:18.920 But 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.

00:10:25.520 And it's clearly how President Trump is viewing this.

00:10:28.680 Here's a great question.

00:10:30.520 Do you know how much of international trade is conducted over the sea right now?

00:10:38.080 How much?

00:10:39.180 Guess what?

00:10:39.960 Over 90%.

00:10:41.100 How much of your communications do you think are conducted by undersea cables right now?

00:10:46.960 You know, okay, we know we have Starlink.

00:10:48.400 We have all these satellites up there.

00:10:49.640 So, how many?

00:10:51.160 How many?

00:10:52.020 What's the percentage?

00:10:53.260 Again, over 95% are undersea cables.

00:10:57.180 It's all based on the ocean.

00:10:58.980 And 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.

00:11:10.800 And there's no question – by the way, this is a huge reason that China wants control of Taiwan because where does Taiwan sit?

00:11:17.040 Oh, right.

00:11:17.820 Right on the main sea lane between South Korea, Japan, the Strait of Malacca, and the rest.

00:11:23.320 If you understand maps, you can understand power.

00:11:26.020 It's really that simple.

00:11:27.100 And that's something that I've always tried to stress here on Human Events Daily.

00:11:30.000 I 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.

00:11:43.480 If you know your choke points, you'll understand the importance of the world.

00:11:46.520 That's why the Houthis over there at the Red Sea right now are doing what they're doing. 0.63

00:11:50.260 Why?

00:11:50.840 Because the Red Sea is the choke point into Europe.

00:11:53.600 If Europe wants their oil from the Middle East, well, guess what?

00:11:58.420 It's got to come up through the Red Sea.

00:12:00.280 If they want their shipping from China, if they want all that, it's got to come up through the Red Sea. 0.68

00:12:05.220 But 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.

00:12:16.720 That's why Greenland is important.

00:12:18.020 Not to mention, by the way, all of the potential resources that are sitting in Greenland and all the rest that are sitting in Canada.

00:12:25.460 Now, I do want to say a couple of things on that.

00:12:27.780 So 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?

00:12:37.460 And do we really want Canada to be the 51st state?

00:12:41.520 And I'm going to be first to say, no, not interested.

00:12:44.140 The price is way too high.

00:12:46.320 It'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.

00:12:54.920 Same with Mexico. 0.68

00:12:56.320 Just too many issues on both sides, really just way too many issues.

00:12:59.240 I mean, certainly we want a strong trade relationship.

00:13:01.820 We should be Canada's strongest trading partner.

00:13:04.040 And we are Canada's strongest trading partner.

00:13:05.800 But we also have to understand that the balance of trade needs to be necessary to make it across.

00:13:11.240 So whatever services that we can provide to Canada, what should Canada be providing us with?

00:13:16.680 That'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.

00:13:32.200 It all needs to come our way.

00:13:35.020 So that's what Canada is able to get – is going to provide us.

00:13:39.640 And then we are going to, in turn, provide them with service as well as, by the way, a nominal amount of military security.

00:13:46.700 Because, 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.

00:13:55.740 Now, when it comes to Mexico, look, I mean, there's just not much there that we're really all that interested in.

00:14:03.240 But there is a huge security issue that we have with the cartels that are operating transnationally on both sides of the border.

00:14:09.880 So clearly, a limited military incursion or covert operations, special forces opportunities – opportunities – activities could be used to take out those cartels.

00:14:21.640 But I really think that's all about it.

00:14:22.920 And also, by the way, the Gulf of Mexico – now, no more Gulf of Mexico.

00:14:26.880 Gulf of America, it will be the Gulf of America.

00:14:29.760 It always should have been the Gulf of America.

00:14:31.800 We are going to be rectifying that.

00:14:35.540 So Gulf of America, that's definitely something that's going to come in.

00:14:38.620 And people will say, well, wait a minute.

00:14:40.020 Wait a minute, Poso.

00:14:40.860 But I thought you said that, you know, what about all this no overseas talk, no overseas – this isn't overseas.

00:14:47.660 This is our backyard.

00:14:48.380 These are actual direct impacts on the American people.

00:14:53.620 These are direct impacts on our families, on my family, on your family.

00:14:58.960 This is how we can all live better and all increase a greater standard of living here within the United States.

00:15:06.340 And it doesn't include these wars of adventure overseas.

00:15:11.100 And by the way, you've heard me say today, I haven't said anything about war.

00:15:14.340 I haven't said anything about this.

00:15:15.420 No, there's plenty of ways economically to make all of this happen.

00:15:21.120 You saw Don Jr. and some others went – traveled up to Greenland today.

00:15:25.180 He had a fantastic appearance.

00:15:26.800 Down as well with the – you know, down as well in the Panama Canal.

00:15:32.660 There could be more issues, though.

00:15:34.160 Unfortunately, there could be some more issues with the Panama Canal.

00:15:36.540 And 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.

00:15:47.920 down there to get the Panamanians on board.

00:15:51.340 But that's okay.

00:15:52.260 That'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.

00:16:04.240 And, of course, we'll be making sure that we do that.

00:16:06.740 I 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.

00:16:14.320 I don't know – how many aircraft carriers does Panama have in their Navy?

00:16:18.700 How many is it again?

00:16:19.680 Is it – is it – is it – because we have 12 at any given time.

00:16:23.840 So we certainly have two active aircraft carriers we could park on either end of it.

00:16:27.280 So I just want to double check.

00:16:28.860 Panama, I think – I think on top of my head is it – was it three, four – oh, zero.

00:16:34.280 Zero aircraft carriers.

00:16:35.440 Okay, got it.

00:16:35.980 Right.

00:16:36.560 And they folded in about a week's time the last time the U.S. invaded.

00:16:41.280 Not too long ago.

00:16:42.260 It was just a couple decades ago.

00:16:43.180 So, you know, just throwing that out there.

00:16:45.280 Throwing that out there.

00:16:46.000 Also, I did spend a little bit of time working on something earlier today.

00:16:50.780 This was information that had been given to me from a very high-level source.

00:16:56.540 And, yes, folks, Mar-a-Lago North is coming, and Mar-a-Lago North is absolutely going to be stunning.

00:17:07.600 Yeah, I don't know.

00:17:09.080 We're going to need some more ski lifts.

00:17:10.740 I do think that we need ski lifts as well because it's going to be a resort.

00:17:14.020 It's not just a castle.

00:17:14.940 Of course, you know, the power crystal is up there.

00:17:17.780 And we've got the guards on their snowmobiles.

00:17:20.080 We've got the airship.

00:17:21.000 We've got their polar bear escorts.

00:17:22.620 But what we're going to really need are those ski lifts, especially down the frozen waterfall.

00:17:26.960 I think that's going to be fantastic.

00:17:28.300 So there's a lot to look at, folks.

00:17:29.940 Look, at the end of the day, it's about actually benefiting the American people.

00:17:35.620 If 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.

00:17:43.240 If 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.

00:17:56.340 Right back, Human Events Daily.

00:18:09.260 Looking long hours.

00:18:10.700 I'm always listening to Human Events with Jack Posobiec.

00:18:14.640 All right, Jack Posobiec, back live, Human Events Daily here, Washington, D.C.

00:18:21.520 So, folks, we're in crunch time right now.

00:18:24.120 The Trump administration will be sworn in by the end of the month.

00:18:27.580 But as tremendous as that is, that also means that our enemies have plenty of time left to stir up trouble.

00:18:32.940 That can mean a cyberattack, an invasion, or, God forbid, a nuclear strike.

00:18:37.600 So until the longtime bureaucracies and bureaucrats are out of Washington, I'm not taking any chances.

00:18:42.780 I'm staying frosty.

00:18:43.940 And you need to stay frosty, too.

00:18:45.880 And that's why I have an emergency food supply from MyPatriotSupply.

00:18:49.340 Right now, they're offering $100 off their three-month emergency food kit.

00:18:53.560 It's got 2,000 calories a day for three whole months.

00:18:56.540 It's plenty to get you through, even a prolonged emergency.

00:18:59.140 And by the way, right here in the D.C. area, we just got hit with, depending on where you're at, 8 to 11 inches of snow.

00:19:05.100 Guess what?

00:19:05.600 I went down to the supermarket yesterday, and the bread was out of the aisle, the eggs weren't coming in, all of the stuff was creaking.

00:19:13.220 And you know what?

00:19:14.140 It was a great day that I was thinking, you know, I'm super happy that we've got our MyPatriotSupply just in case.

00:19:21.280 Winter is here.

00:19:23.420 Folks, all their food kits last for up to 25 years in storage, plus they come in rugged, weatherproof buckets.

00:19:29.720 You go to MyPatriotSupply.com right now, and you can order your three-month emergency food kit.

00:19:34.820 No, I've got an emergency food supply.

00:19:36.700 I was just talking about this in my home, because my safety and my family's safety and our food security are worth it.

00:19:42.240 Go to MyPatriotSupply.com to order your three-month emergency food kit now.

00:19:47.600 MyPatriotSupply.com.

00:19:49.480 You 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,

00:19:59.860 and 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,

00:20:10.700 oh, 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.

00:20:17.140 You 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.

00:20:27.760 It'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,

00:20:39.360 and you realize that, you know, it turns out that we probably didn't have to do that.

00:20:44.820 We probably didn't have to spend that much time and treasure and people there, that they can't turn it off.

00:20:51.320 They tell themselves, we know better, and nobody else understands what the way to do this.

00:20:56.300 No, you want to keep America safe.

00:20:57.700 It's very simple, by the way.

00:20:59.240 It's very simple.

00:21:00.420 Number one, economic and national security in terms of what we just talked about here, the sea lanes of communication, your choke points,

00:21:07.180 and 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,

00:21:16.640 particularly those in the Western Hemisphere.

00:21:19.020 That's the Monroe Doctrine.

00:21:21.040 Why have we abandoned the Monroe Doctrine? 0.91

00:21:23.140 It's ridiculous, by the way. 1.00

00:21:24.580 It's absolutely ridiculous and asinine. 0.99

00:21:27.000 Every great power around the world holds to whatever their version of the Monroe Doctrine is, except us. 0.99

00:21:33.540 Except us for some reason.

00:21:35.140 Why do the cartels matter?

00:21:36.460 Because they're on our border.

00:21:38.800 Why does Greenland matter?

00:21:39.980 Because it's right next to our border.

00:21:42.160 Why does the Panama Canal matter?

00:21:44.300 Because it allows us to connect from one coast to the other coast.

00:21:48.560 It's simple.

00:21:49.780 It's basic logistics.

00:21:51.260 And then the other piece of this is simple.

00:21:53.860 So we're talking about the flow of goods, the flow of armaments around our nation.

00:22:00.360 But what about the flow of people?

00:22:02.420 And so suddenly you're going to sit there and say, oh, hold on, hold on.

00:22:05.960 We've got these terrorists.

00:22:07.100 Or where did the terrorists come from?

00:22:08.280 Oh, they brought their ideology in from the Middle East, or they brought it in from some other part of the world.

00:22:15.880 They're here.

00:22:17.020 Guess what?

00:22:18.160 All of the hijackers on 9-11 were legal immigrants, quote unquote.

00:22:22.380 They were here in a legal status.

00:22:24.380 They had travel visas.

00:22:25.780 Some even had student visas.

00:22:27.260 Then 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.

00:22:39.420 And those guys will go and do these things, even though the guy himself was a U.S. citizen.

00:22:43.660 So guess what?

00:22:45.400 What 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?

00:23:03.640 And if we have strict immigration to the United States, then we won't have to worry about any of these things.

00:23:09.240 And 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.

00:23:22.320 Someone who's intimately knowledgeable about all of this, of course, from Revolver News, joins us now, and his name is Darren Beattie.

00:23:32.100 Darren, how are you?

00:23:32.880 So, guys, I think we're having some audio tricks right there with Darren.

00:23:43.240 I can see him.

00:23:44.280 I can see the lips moving, but I cannot hear him currently.

00:23:49.240 What it comes...

00:23:50.200 Can you hear me?

00:23:51.880 Oh, Darren, wait, there we go.

00:23:53.640 There it is.

00:23:54.760 There we go.

00:23:55.940 Great.

00:23:56.600 Darren, so what I was talking about was this basic idea of, you know, people have this background. 0.64

00:24:02.880 Backwards, 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.

00:24:22.920 You know, even though I think most Greenlanders are, you know, are either Danish or, I guess, Inuit.

00:24:28.720 So, 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.

00:24:39.840 And 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.

00:24:56.300 I mean, this is just how a great power used to act prior to the globalist era.

00:25:00.380 Right.

00:25:03.580 There's certainly nothing objectionable about projecting our influence in any way that redounds to the benefit of the United States.

00:25:12.220 I 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.

00:25:36.120 And 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

00:26:05.500 from the well-being of actual American citizens.

00:26:09.500 And 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.

00:26:27.500 Well, I think that's exactly right.

00:26:29.500 Well, I think that's exactly right.

00:26:31.500 And 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.

00:26:45.500 All of all of all of a sudden, when President Trump says, oh, well, what about the Gulf of Mexico?

00:26:50.740 What about the Caribbean?

00:26:51.980 What about the Panama Canal?

00:26:53.340 What about Greenland?

00:26:54.440 Suddenly, Democrats are like jumping all over themselves to say, oh, well, well, we can't do any of that.

00:27:01.480 I 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.

00:27:11.520 But I think there's even people on our side who just don't understand how the basic economics of the world work.

00:27:18.820 Yeah, 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.

00:27:45.340 Those 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. 0.87

00:28:06.940 But 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.

00:28:22.580 And 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.

00:28:37.560 And these actions aren't simply lining the pocket of various stakeholder interests who have expressed very little but hostility toward the American people.

00:28:46.920 And 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.

00:28:56.760 And by the way, that doesn't just mean, you know, big screen Chinese TVs in in every room in your house.

00:29:04.600 And 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.

00:29:11.340 And and big screen TVs came down in price. And it's like, yeah, but look at the impact on wages.

00:29:17.460 Look at the impact on home buying. Look at the fact that I had a guy in a Twitter space not long ago.

00:29:24.600 And, 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. 1.00

00:29:31.720 And I said, well, don't you think that's going to slash wages? And he said, well, I pay him the same wages.

00:29:36.200 And 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.

00:29:54.620 That's when the FDI relationship, the foreign direct investment with China began.

00:29:59.840 That'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.

00:30:15.020 Stay tuned. We'll be right back here with Darren Dini.

00:30:24.620 Jack, where is Jack? Where is Jack? Where is Jack? Where is he? Jack, I want to see you.

00:30:38.840 Great job, Jack. Thank you. What a job you do.

00:30:42.460 You 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.

00:30:49.620 All right, Jack Posobiec back here live human events daily, Washington, D.C.

00:30:57.140 Darren, before we before we change subjects here, let me ask you just, you know, basic question.

00:31:02.180 This 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.

00:31:11.780 The idea is really what led to the building of the Panama Canal in the first place.

00:31:19.300 It'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.

00:31:36.280 I'm not even sure anyone else who even understands why any of this is important that's out there today.

00:31:43.800 Yeah, it's a great question. I think, you know, there's been a variety of factors.

00:31:48.800 It's not for lack of interest in overseas commitments.

00:31:52.740 I mean, I think if anything, we've been almost too interested in various overseas commitments.

00:31:58.280 It's simply how far overseas and what the nature of the commitments are.

00:32:02.740 I think economic commitments within our own immediate hemispheric sphere of influence, that makes eminent sense.

00:32:13.600 And 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.

00:32:31.940 And it's really as simple as that.

00:32:36.380 I 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. 0.76

00:32:51.280 That's where they found these vast oil resources as well as the rare earth elements.

00:32:56.140 So guess what? We've got the Yukon right there.

00:32:58.000 We've got Greenland right there.

00:32:59.300 And, 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.

00:33:13.260 And certainly we should all understand that.

00:33:15.820 But it seems like we're the only country that doesn't actually operate in that way.

00:33:20.380 And it will just be hilarious to me for so long, especially when we've lived in D.C.

00:33:26.900 And when I got to D.C., it was a time where people were just still, you know, talking about, oh, the importance of Iraq.

00:33:32.980 The important Iraq is so important, the geostrategic importance of Iraq to us all.

00:33:37.720 And 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.

00:33:44.900 Now, 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.

00:33:55.740 And there was an interesting topic that he brought up in response to something that he was asked.

00:34:01.560 He was asked a question about J.N. Sixers.

00:34:02.940 And he himself went to a different spot.

00:34:08.120 Where do you think he went?

00:34:10.240 Let's play the clip now.

00:34:11.260 Why didn't they find the bomber, the pipe bomber?

00:34:13.580 You know, they know who the pipe bomber is.

00:34:15.260 The FBI knows who it is.

00:34:17.540 The status of the FBI has gone down so far.

00:34:21.360 And the status of the DOJ, or as I call it, the Department of Justice.

00:34:26.740 It's the Department of Justice being laughed at all over the world.

00:34:29.700 So, and hopefully with Pam Bondi and with Cash Patel and with other people that we're putting in, that will all come back.

00:34:39.560 Darren, what's your response there?

00:34:42.620 Well, obviously, I'm thrilled to see this.

00:34:45.540 You know, Trump has been revolver-pilled on January 6th for quite some time.

00:34:51.000 I talked about it with him in our interview, which got a tremendous amount of views and attention.

00:34:57.020 He's separately cited the case of Ray Epps on multiple occasions in rallies and otherwise.

00:35:03.780 He's even gone deep enough into the lore to mention the scaffold commander on occasion.

00:35:11.280 But this, to my knowledge, is the first time that President Trump has publicly addressed the pipe bomb scandal.

00:35:22.020 And we've been on this for three and a half years now.

00:35:25.760 And I think the spin, he said, is really important.

00:35:30.560 He said the FBI knows who it is.

00:35:33.460 I think the overwhelming weight of evidence suggests that that's true.

00:35:39.280 There was a report released by the House Ad Committee just a few days ago by Loudermilk, and Thomas Massey had a big role in it.

00:35:47.220 And it basically substantiates everything that people have been reading, revolver.news, on this topic.

00:35:54.820 Most of the major pillars of our reporting is confirmed directly with some additional interesting information.

00:36:02.360 Two bits of critical information I want to convey to your listeners here.

00:36:08.060 One is, it's very clear, the FBI actually conducted a legitimate investigation early on, in the first few months.

00:36:20.740 They were interviewing a ton of people.

00:36:23.160 They were getting data.

00:36:25.800 They were developing a bunch of leads.

00:36:29.100 Everything that you see would be consistent with a real investigation, put it that way.

00:36:33.720 But then something weird happened.

00:36:35.040 Basically, as early as May of 2021, May of 2021, the investigation went dark.

00:36:47.060 It simply stopped.

00:36:48.980 Everything stopped.

00:36:50.480 All of these things that looked like promising leads, done.

00:36:54.200 And, you know, this is consistent with something I reported on that I found to be remarkable when I first learned of it.

00:37:01.620 There was another agency investigating the pipe bomb, the pipe bomb story.

00:37:08.640 And this was early 2022.

00:37:11.760 That agency needed to see surveillance footage of the pipe bomb location on January 6th.

00:37:17.200 The agency people there did not go to the DNC to review this footage, indicating that the FBI simply didn't have it at that point.

00:37:30.720 Now, at early 2022, for the FBI not to have surveillance footage of, on January 6th, of the pipe bomb location is simply remarkable.

00:37:40.940 And the only conclusion from that is that it was a dead investigation then.

00:37:46.440 But now we can see from the report that basically all the leads dropped as early as May of 2021, after which point it's been nothing.

00:37:56.280 And they go through these kind of half-hearted gestures of saying, oh, we're going to release a little bit of footage here or there.

00:38:02.380 It's been a dead investigation since spring of 2021.

00:38:07.660 Why?

00:38:08.380 Well, again, I think the most reasonable conclusion here is precisely the one that Trump drew explicitly today in his press conference.

00:38:16.920 And that is the FBI investigated in spring of 2021.

00:38:21.920 They found out what happened.

00:38:23.880 And 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.

00:38:45.280 And 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.

00:38:58.100 And so I think there were other agencies involved in the operation.

00:39:02.720 The FBI found out what was really going on and proceeded to cover-up.

00:39:07.260 They know who it is.

00:39:09.660 We can get to the bottom of it as soon as Kash Patel becomes FBI director.

00:39:15.540 We've done 95% of the work.

00:39:18.160 The additional 5%, that's up to Director Patel to do, hopefully starting on day one.

00:39:26.040 I mean, I just love it.

00:39:27.940 Director Patel, day one.

00:39:30.720 You 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.

00:39:49.180 You 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.

00:39:59.200 But 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.

00:40:19.920 I'm just saying, I'm just shooting from the hip here, folks.

00:40:24.700 What do you think?

00:40:25.600 Email us, 1776Humanevents.com, 1776 at Humanevents.com.

00:40:31.560 We'll be right back.

00:40:32.300 Jack is a great guy.

00:40:56.100 He's written that fantastic book.

00:40:57.940 Everybody's talking about it.

00:40:59.080 Go get it.

00:41:00.260 And he's been my friend right from the beginning of this whole beautiful event.

00:41:04.180 And we're going to turn it around and make our country quite a good day.

00:41:07.380 Amen.

00:41:07.720 All right, we're back here.

00:41:12.000 Jack Posobiec, Human Events Daily.

00:41:14.080 We've been talking about changes that President Trump is making to our government.

00:41:18.880 But there's also a big change that went on, and we didn't have him on yesterday.

00:41:22.780 But, Darren, I just got to say, man, that January 6th was yesterday the commemoration, really, for that day.

00:41:30.640 And 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.

00:41:45.920 You 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.

00:42:00.120 You 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.

00:42:13.380 And you know what? At least half the people in the country just celebrated January 6th.

00:42:19.080 And 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.

00:42:33.940 And 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.

00:42:49.920 And so kudos to you, man, for doing what you did and the work on the pipe bomber and so many others.

00:42:57.420 I 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.

00:43:09.860 Yeah, well, first of all, thanks so much for that.

00:43:15.460 I'm very, very proud of it.

00:43:17.840 And, you know, all of this that we've achieved, they've come very far.

00:43:22.060 Again, I think we've gotten 95%.

00:43:24.560 And these are the kinds of things that people don't really expect in ultimate resolution.

00:43:31.160 People think, oh, these just kind of things.

00:43:33.080 Yeah, 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.

00:43:38.760 But 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.

00:43:49.440 To this date, I've only advanced one name that I have utter confidence as part of the cover-up, and that was Ashen Benedict.

00:43:57.960 Ashen Benedict, also briefly mentioned in the Ladermick report as someone who's been on Cooperative, surprise, surprise.

00:44:04.400 But he currently is the head of Intelligence and Dignitary Protection at the Capitol.

00:44:10.560 I'm very cautious about naming names for a variety of reasons, and I'm comfortable naming him.

00:44:16.760 But I'm also very comfortable in saying he's not the only person.

00:44:20.340 For that additional 5%, we can hand it to Director Patel on a silver platter.

00:44:26.940 Say, Director Patel, please, let's get that additional 5%.

00:44:31.080 Let's get the full truth out there, cluing all the names, cluing the chain of custody of the surveillance footage at the DNC.

00:44:38.980 Let's blow this thing wide open, because the pipe bomb thing doesn't stop at the pipe bomb. 0.99

00:44:42.980 The pipe bombs were conveniently discovered independently within a 15-minute time frame, perfectly coinciding with that very Ray Epps orchestrated breach on the Capitol.

00:44:54.360 That 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.

00:45:04.000 And 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.

00:45:20.660 So this is sitting on top of one of the biggest scandals in recent American history.

00:45:25.260 We'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. 0.68

00:45:47.420 And 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.

00:46:03.840 It'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. 0.95

00:46:16.500 That's what we need. We can't be a successful country if our institutions are not legitimate.

00:46:23.280 So 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.

00:46:36.580 You 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.

00:46:50.220 This was always a strategy to criminalize MAGA, to make support for conservative causes, support for Trump.

00:46:58.700 And 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.

00:47:08.520 We can get a better Trump. We can have Trumpism without Trump.

00:47:11.720 We can run on the issues without him, and no, it would just be completely ridiculous.

00:47:19.080 Guys, I think I just lost Darren's audio again there.

00:47:23.140 Wait, Darren, do we have you back?

00:47:25.320 I'm here. Can you hear me?

00:47:27.340 Yeah, I can. Yeah, I couldn't hear what you were last. Can you repeat that?

00:47:30.060 Ah, I was just saying, Trumpism without Trump, how quaint that sounds now.

00:47:36.020 I remember not too long ago, that was the big cause of the day.

00:47:42.400 That was the big refrain. Trumpism without Trump.

00:47:45.660 I can't tell you how many times I heard from supposedly sophisticated, supposedly informed people,

00:47:53.620 as recently as a year, year and a half ago,

00:47:55.860 Oh, Trump's done. It's all done. He's going to jail. He's going to be a felon. People are going to care.

00:48:01.140 Nobody cared. They invested so much energy in this, and because people know it's a lie,

00:48:06.200 and they know these institutions are illegitimate,

00:48:08.300 it just enhanced Trump's legitimacy to be condemned by an illegitimate system.

00:48:14.920 Darren Beatty, we are running low on time, my friend.

00:48:20.020 Where can people go to follow you and get the latest from Revolver?
